I have also discussed this matter with one of our local appraisers who is in agreement with my findings. It is my opinion that the feedlot will not adversely affect property values in this area. If anything, as the owner purchases crops raised and sells picxlucts locally, -this should help to stabilize and quite possibly enhance property values in the area.

CASE NUMBER: USR-801:87:27 APPLICANT: Mountain View Lamb Feeders, c/o Roland Rench REQUEST: A Use by Special Review for a Livestock Confinement Operation for 20,000 lambs in the A (Agricultural) zone district LEGAL :DESCRIPTION: Ni SE} of Section 24, T7N, R67W of the 6th Y.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: Approximately 2 miles north of Severance. 8711-97 X N/fL //7 i:. Summary of the Weld -County Planning Commission Meeting July 21, 1987 Page 9 APPEARANCE: Rem Mind, Attorney, represented the applicant. He stated he is acting both as a representative of the applicant and an adjacent landowner since he also lives next to this property. This application is for a new livestock confinement operation for a 20,000 head sheep feed lot. An ensilage pit was left off the original plat. He posted a plat with the proposed ensilage pit drawn in. They would like this included in their application and the necessary paperwork will be done prior to this request going to the Board of County Commissioners. This is in an agricultural zone district, and it is a request for a use by special review since the use will be more intense than that normally allowed in the agricultural zone. There are several livestock confinement operations and dairies in the area. The Town of Severance has no expansion plans for the area nor will they provide any services. There will be increased truck traffic, dust, and odor, but when he built in this area he expected this as a result Df living in an agricultural district and does not object to this. There will be approximately three employees for this operation, and feed will be purchased from farmers in the immediate vicinity. Storage of wet feed will consist of ensilage in the proposed ensilage pit. Dry feed will be -stored on the existing special use site. He reviewed the storage and use of both wet and dry waste products. This operation will not remove productive farmland. This is dryland. The water has been sold off the land. The present sheep feeding operation is still and will remain in operation. The owners intend to operate the two uses by special review jointly. However, the Planning Commission should consider this a new application and it should stand on its own merits. Roland Tench, Mountain View Lamb Feeders, explained this facility, along with their present feedlot, would allow them to feed a maximum of approximately 100,000 head of sheep a year figuring a 45 day turnover. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. Russ Anson, Attorney, represented Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cabala who have owned property here since 1971 . In a general sense, since this is an agricultural zone, it does comply with zoning requirements, but it also lies within an urban growth boundary area. It is not a use by right or they would not have applied for a use by special review. This area contains both agricultural uses and residences and an intense use, such as this, would be in conflict _with the urban growth area. While Severance may not be interested in annexing immediately, it is still within their urban growth area according to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. 871197 Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting July 21, 1987 Page 10 Jack Cabala, property owner south and adjacent to this property, distributed pictures of his property when he bought it and the way it currently looks. These were retained as evidence. He stated they previously owned this property, it was part of his farm, but -because of financial problems, he sold -his water and property to Water Supply and Storage Company. Some of _ the members of their family have severe allergies and the increased dust and odor will aggravate these. They raise face horses and they are concerned about what the increased dust will do to them. He reviewed an article from the Wall Street Journal concerning methane gas established by sheep. ₹lis property will drop in value with another livestock confinement operation adjacent to it. Melvin Schmunk, surrounding property owner, reported they use The ditch water the liquid wastes will be run into and do business with Mr. Rench, i.e. , sell feed. They live downwind from the feedlots, but they are not concerned with -the odor. The Chairman asked Lanell Swanson to read the recommendations and conditions, as outlined by the Department of Planning Services staff into the record. Tape 2-90 - Side I The Chairman read the development standards into the record. The Chairman asked the applicant if they had any objections to the recommendtions, conditions, or development standards. Ken Lind stated they have to objections and they feel the Development Standards are fair and reasonable. Russ Anson commented on recommendation 115. b. concerning a referral from the mayor of Severence. He has spoken to the Severance attorney and neither the mayor nor the attorney knows if the Town of Severance has an urban growth boundary area, but because of the more intense use he wants to see the drainage reports before the Planning Commission makes a decision and before it goes to the Board of County Commissioners. Otherwise they will not have an opportunity to comment on this. This proposal does not fit within the comprehensive plan and it does not fit in with the residential uses of the neighborhood. Ken Lind stated the existing feed lot was approved as SUP-136 in 1972. It is for 15,000 head of sheep and 2,500 head of cattle. The new facility will not have cattle. This is an area which has many feetlots and dairies. -Its use is primarily agricultural.

Weld County, Colorado which is adjacent to the present facilities which is on the NFr of Section 214, Township 7 North, Range 67 West of -the 6th P.14, Weld County, Colo. NEED FOR USE: Need for this facility is due to the fact that there is a need to provide additional lamb supplies for the Packing Houses in Colorado that are processing lambs. Also, present and potential new customers are requesting the desire to place on consignment additional numbers for custom Seeding by Mountain View Lamb Feeders: lit. NEIGHBORHOOD PROPERTY USES AND BUILDING LOCATIONS: The property is located in a farming and livestock feedine area which would continue to conform and be compatible with the recent Weld County Comprehensive Plan of 1/13/87. Inhabited structurs are approximately 1/2 mile or more from the proposed feeding pens. OPERATIONAL_RELEVANT INFORMATION: At the present time there are approximately six users who have lambs inon consignment, Seeding at the existing facilities. And with this proposed facility there could be as high as Twelve users depending upon market conditions. Lamb Buyers on the premises could be as many as Two to Three at any one given time. The feeding operations, with the proposed facility, would require about 10 employees, an increase of ti additional people who are already handling the present Feedlot. Also, the hours of operation-would be during daylight hours as is presently being done. The source of water will continue to be from the North Weld Water District currently serving the present facilities. Present dust control would be handled from the existing feedlot to the north of this proposed facility. Weld County Road #80 will originate the access road that is presently serving the existing feedlot on into the proposed site. Trucks will use the access road from WCR #80 for the hauling of livestock and feedstuff a and -waste removal. Waste removal will be hauledby neighbors and will be hauled throughout the year as weather permits. Waste stockpiles will only accumulate when prohibited by adverse weather. Trucking within the proposed facility will consist of: 2 Pickup Trucks, 1 Flat-bed truck, 2 Feeder Trucks and occasionally neighbor Trucks removing waste. This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan of 1/13/87 on file in the Department of Planning Services and will remain as agricultural usage compatible -with the surrounding areas. This facility will be a Lamb Consignment operation. Present areas are involved in fanning and livestock feeding on all sides of the proposed facility. The Paul Lind Feedlot is to the East and the Barry Lind Feedlot is to the West - at least a mile away. With the proposed feedlot, a one time capacity could be at least 20,000 lambs and as low as 5,000 lambs, depending on Market conditions. The original landscaping conforms with normal drainage and thus no soil erosion due to normal. vegetation. Reclaimation could return to original usage for agricultural purposes. A natural lagoon in the NW corner of the proposed site of the IN of SE's of Section 2h, Township 7 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.11. and an additional pond is to be constructed at the south edge of the new feeding pens. HEALTH STANDARDS: This proposed facility has been shown to the USDA Soil -Conservation Service Office and also suggestions received from Mr. Wes Potter of the Weld County Public Health Department. All health _standards of the Department can and will be met as is in the case of the existing lamb feeding activity. Present health factors will also exist on the proposed facility that now exist on the adjacent facilities. 871197 DESIGN STANDARDS FOR USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW SECTION 214.5.1 Past performance of Feedlots operated and involved by Roland Rench demonstrate compliance in design standards required by Weld County Ordinances.

Bat ' 397 DRAINAGE REVIEW MOUNTAIN VIEW LAMB FEEDERS SITE LOCATION: This study reviews the storm water runoff that affects the North Half of the Southeast Quarter (N}SEl) of Section 25, Township 7 North, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. The subject property lies between Weld County Roads (WCR) 78 and 80 and East of -WCR -23. The adjacent properties are agricul- tural in use. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The site sits across a small ridge and drainage is to the West, East, and South. A lamb feeding operation is proposed for approximately ten (10) acres of the 8D acre site. T-welve pens with a size of 64' x 400' will be built. Outbuildings necessary for the proposed feeding operation will be constructed. RUNOFF: Because of She proposed feedlot's location (across a ridge) ,there is little offsite runoff. Runoff from the proposed feedlot will be channeled to three proposed _retention ponds. RETENTION PONDS: Three retention ponds will be built to collect the runoff from the feed- ing operations. The ponds will be located -in the natural contours to the East, West, and Southwest of lot. Final sizing will occur at time of construction. Ponds will have a clay lining for sanitary purposes. The built up dikes will have 3:1 slide slopes with a 6' top. Water that enters the ponds will be pumped and utilized for irrigation purposes. Diversion berms will be constructed as required.

Planning Cammissian Re : Mountain View Lamb Feeder ' s Expansion This Letter is written in opposition to the request of Mountain ViEw Lamb Feeders for the Enlargement of their live- stock operation for an additional Z0 ,D0D lambs over and above the present 1-5 ,D00 permitted. We own the 8D acres and home -directly south and adjoining the proposed feedlot acreage . WE _ also owned and sold the 8D acres to Water Supply and Storage in June of ' 86 which Mountain View now proposes to purchase for expansion . We had the option Df selling the groperty to the City of Thornton , but chn se not to do so because we wanted the water to remain here for area farmers . Because of our location , we are directly affected by Mountain View ' s proposal . We strongly oppose the grant of this permit for the following reasons : 1 . Three of our family members Have allergies to dust , animals , molds , -etc . , and are presently rezeiving treatment . If a permit is granted , it would necessi— tate moving because allergies may become overwhelming . 2. There will be an increase in dust , odor and noise . 3 . We do not feel Mountain View has been , Dr intends to be in compliance with State and County regulations regarding maintenance of health standards and environ- mental quality as witnessed in the current operation on and next to previously owned land . We will present photos and testimony at the hearing to show such vio- lation . 871197 -2- 4 . --here will b2 an immediate decrease in our property fvalue . 5 . There will be -a loss of appeal to prospective buyers because of a clear view and close proximity of the feedlot . We have constantly improved and upgraded our property and home since our move here in 1975 . At that time , there was a 600 sq . ft . shack , and old barn , outhouses and the local dump because of the property being vacant so long. It has taken years of hard work and hard earned cash to get our property to it ' s present state . Sometime in the late 70 's , the feedlot was expanded without notification to us . There was a noticeable visual increase , not to -mention an increase in odor. We did not complain about this , the foul runoff in the northwest corner of the property , or the rundown condition of the fencing because we were trying to be good neighbors . However , if Mountain View is allowed to more than -double their operation , we can no longer remain silent as they will literally be "too close for comfort" .
