This Use by Special Review for a single oil and gas well was approved in 1985. The oil field area to the east to ndis south th was received a Use By Special Review (USR) previous amended in 1987 . An amendment to this USR is requested in order to: a) drill and complete a second oil and gas well facility in this field; and b) amend adopted county design standards pertaining to the operation of both wells in this field. 2 . The site is in an area that is largely agricultural to the north and east with scattered farm residences. To the east are also a series of existing and proposed approved well fields, identified on the map as "rest of well field area. " This amendment site also fronts on North First Avenue to the west. Across First Avenue is continuous large lot residential development. Farther to the southwest, south, and southeast (ranging from . 5 mile to 1+ miles) is the City of Greeley. 3 . Each well site is 40 acres in size. The existing well and support facilities is on the northern site, and the proposed well along with an alternate site for support facilities is on the southern site. The actual location of the existing support facilities is approximately 300' from First Avenue. I 871.533 PLANNING REVIEW COMMENTS: 1. Under the 1971 Comprehensive Plan, uses such as this were appropriate within the municipal referral area because the site was outside the 2010 Growth Ring and in an area suggested for agricultural uses. Now under the 1986 Plan, the area is half in and half out of the Long Range Expetocted how industrial dseohArea n d consideration should normally be given policies would treat this land use. la. The change in Comprehensive Plan policies becomes significant because all of Section 33 , which this well is located in, is zoned R-1. The 1986 Plan suggests industrial uses are not compatible in residential areas and require control of negative external influences when adjacent to residential areas. The city ordinance banning oil and gas drilling in residential areas also has the affect of stating such industrial uses are not compatible in residential areas. lb. At this point, there is little or no residential development in this area. Predominant land uses are agriculture and oil/gas uses. Were this area in the city and zoned residetial, is the oil and gas use would be prohibited. Thus, the raised whether the zoning is appropriate for this area. The continuing development of oil and gas here should be able to be positively controlled through comprehensive planning. 2 . The need to buffer surrounding land uses is addressed by the Comprehensive Plan. (A-33) "that industrial development be geographically separated (in this case, through the use of oil and gas design standards) from other land uses if it is of a high impact nature could generate significant external impacts. " The presence of developed and developing large-lot residential to the immediate west suggests land use design standards not be ls not be relaxed as requested. Setbacks from rht-of-way es. In addition, less than 300' for wells and for support fencing should be installed and maintained. The reference in county design standards as to compliance with City of Greeley ordinances pertaining to oil and gas well development should be kept because it was the intent to assure safety considerations through setback and fence separation that prompted this recommendation previously, not a desire to restrict oil and gas wells from residentially developed areas in the county.

ATTACHMENT to APPLICATION FOR AME2fl1ENT TO USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW 661:84:57 Sunshine Valley Petroleum Corporation October 14, 1987 This Application for Amendment to Use by Special Review 661:-84:57 consists of the Application page to which this is attached, along with the following Exhibits, which are incorporated herein by this reference: Exhibit A: SURFACE FFF (PROPERTY) OWNERS OF AREA COVERED BY USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT Exhibit B: OIL AND GAS IEASEEDID OWNERS OF AREA COVERED BY USE -BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT Exhibit C: AFFIDAVIT OF INTEREST OWNERS-SURFACE ESTATE with attached list of all owners of lands within the U.S.-R. area and within 500' thereof. Exhibit D: AFFIDAVIT OF INTEREST OWNERS-MINERAL ESTATE with attached list of owners of minerals and leaaees thereof under the U.S.R. area. A reproducible mylar plan map of the U.S.R. area and contiguous lards is also a part of this Application. Use by Special Review 661:84:57, granted by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners (the "Board") to Weeks Energy Minerals Corporation on -February 28, 1985, authorized the drilling of a single oil and gas well in the NW'-,NW' of Section 33, Township 6 North, Range 65 West, subject to 20 specific Development Standards (the "Standards") . Sunshine Valley Petroleum Corporation drilled and °pleted the well permitted by this V.S R, the Adams #1. The soils on lands -covered by the U.S.R. are classifed as follows in Soil Survey of meld County, Colorado, Southern Fart published by the Soil Conservation Service, United States Department of Agriculture: Kim Loam, 1 to 3 _percent slopes (32) Otero Sandy Loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes (50) Otero Sandy than, 1 to 3 percent slopes (51) The lards covered by the U.S.R. were zoned 12-1 by the Board at a tine when residential development was anticipated in the area. This development has not occurred and the lands continue to be used solely for agricultural and oil and gas -purposes. For this reason, Sunshine requests an aierdmnent to the U.S.R. so that it may drill and conplete -a further -oil -and 'gas well in the SW'NW'-, of Section 33 (the "Infill Well") . In addition, Sunshine requests amendment of two Standards now contained in the U.S.-R. insofar as such standards apply -to both the Adams #1 well -and the Inf ill Well. AMENIIMENfT TO STANDARD 2: EXISTING: The drilling and producing of the wells shall conply with the City of Greeley's Ordinance pertaining to oil and'gas well development. PROPOSED: (delete) REMARKS: Since this U.S.R. was granted, Greeley has adopted an ordinance prohibiting oil and gas drilling (absent special permission frau the City Council) on lards of the type covered by the U.S.R. ; reference to Greeley's ordinance consequently would prohibit drilling of any Infill Well authorized by the Board. Since the SW',NW$ of Section 33 871563 is not located within the City of Greeley, reference to Greeley's ordinance is unnecessary. AIEIIIIENT TO STANDARD 3(b) : EXISTING: A six foot chain link fence with three strand barbed wire top shall enclose the tank battery cluster. PROPOSED: If and when low density residential development takes place within 300 feet of any well drilled hereunder, a six foot chain link fence with three strand barbed wire top shall encln e the tank battery cluster. REMARKS: The lards covered by the U.S.R. are being used solely for agricultural and oil and gas purposes. Fencing will remove more land from -agricultural use than otherwise would be necessary and will encourage weed growth which may be halted only by application of herbicides. In view of the present agricultural use, no prczcnt benefit will result from the required fencing; instead, such fencing likely Mill have only a negative impact on the present surface use. If residential development of the U.S.R. -area does take place in the future, plonvL fencing -of the tank battery cluster will adequately protect the public health, safety and welfare. 2 871563 EXHIBIT A Amended U.S.R. 661:84:57 (Surface owners of U.S.R.
