HEARING CERTIFICATION

RE: USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW FOR A FURNITURE MANUFACTURING FACILITY -
BILLY J. AND DONNA J. CHRISTIAN
A public hearing was conducted on October 6, 1986, at 2:00 P.M. , with
the following present:
Commissioner Jacqueline Johnson, Chairman
Commissioner Gordon E. Lacy, Pro-Tem
Commissioner Gene Brantner
Commissioner C.W. Kirby
Commissioner Frank Yamaguchi
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Mary Reiff
Assistant County Attorney, Bruce T. Barker
Planning Department representative, Debbie de Besche
The following business vas transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated September 8, 1986, and
duly -published September 18, 1986, in the Johnstown Breeze, a public
hearing was conducted to consider the request of Billy J. and Donna J.
Christian for a Use ty Special Review -for a furniture manufacturing
facility. Bruce Barker, Assistant County Attorney, -made this matter of
record. Chairman Johnson stated this hearing was continued from
October 1, when a motion was made and seconded to approve the Use by
Special Review, to allow the applicant additional time to review the
Conditions and Development Standards presented by the _Planning staff.
Arthur Roy, attorney representing the applicant, came forward. He
stated that the applicant would like Condition #4 amended to allow 90
days, rather than 30, to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for this
operation. Bob Huffman, Chief Building Inspector, -said 90 days would
be acceptable; however, some things need to be completed immediately.
Considerable discussion was held concerning the possible requirement
that certain items be completed in less than 90 days. (Tape Change
#86-70) It was the consensus of the Board that Condition #4 should not
be changed. Debbie de Besche, Planning Department representative, said
the staff recommends that the outside storage of lumber, allowed by an
amendment of Development Standard #3 at the earlier hearing, should be
screened by a six-foot wooden privacy fence. Bill Christian, one of
the applicants, came fowarsl to object to this provision, explaining his
reasons. It was the consensus of the Board that Development Standard
#3 should remain as amended at the earlier hearing, with no fencing
being required. Commissioner Kirby moved to amend Development Standard
#8 to provide that no lumber storage stacks shall exceed ten feet in
height. The motion, seconded by Commissioner Trantner, tarried
unanimously. On a roll call vote, the motion to -approve the Use by
Special Review carried with Chairman Johnson voting nay and all other
Commissioners voting aye.

Weld County Board of Commissioners
Sincer Mr. Furrer and myself cannot be physically present today, this letter
he=reby acts as our voice regarding the matter of Mr. Christian's furniture
business.
We, Mr. Furrer and myself, as well as others in this community do not oppose
him operating his busines, as since he arrived here he has operated same in
a professional and orderly manner. His premises is an asset to the area un-
like many of the chicken ranchers who are allowed by this county to operate
their business so deplorably that there are flies and rats.
If you will compare his operation to those of the chicken ranchers, there is
no question as to whether he should be allowed to operate. We in the com-
munity vote an unequivocal YES for Mr. Christian.

Mr & .Mrs Billy J Christian are requesting a Special Review
Permit in Weld County. Our residence is almost directly across
the street and there is no objections for Mr & Mrs Christian
to continue in the operation of their furniture manufacturing
business_
This type of business is clean and without odors to harass
or 'disturb the neighborhood, as we are plagued faith flies,
burning chickens, and the cleaning of chicken barns, to the
point where a backyard barbeque is impossible on weekends.
Sometime the odors are to the paint the windows have to be

Lt' s a pleasure to have this type of business in this
neighborhood that does not contribute to the already mammoth
problem.

Dear Sirs:
As residents of Ranch Egg Estates Subdivision, we -strongly request you
to favorably consider the petition of Bill and Donna Christian to operate a
wood working shop at 873 Weld County Road 7, Erie, Color-ado.
Our reasons -are as follows:
1 . This small -business is 4one entirely within the confines of the
"shop" building. No unsightly equipment or piles of materials or other
debris degrade the property as viewed from the road or any neighbors' house
to the best of our knowledge.
2. As this area has had a history of small family -businesses since its
inception, the Christian's wood working shop would not devalue the
surrounding real estate. It is highly likely that it would enhance values
because it is clean and non-polluting to our air and ground water. Also, the
sawdust and shavings, residual by-products of the factory, do not create a
health hazard by attracting rodents or other vermin into the neighborhood.
In conclusion, we would like to bring to the attention of the Board of
Commissioners the fact that a number of the original chicken ranchers have
unfortunately gone out of business and their buildings stand empty and
inviting to vandals, vagrants and other undesirables. Your approval of the
Christian's small family business could conceivably help the residents of
Ranch Egg Estates find other uses for the existing facilities on their land,
thus helping our area out of its present stagnation and into new growth.
Needless to say, there could be an increase in our tax base and ultimately
tax benefits to the county.
We hope you will reach a favorable decision for Bill anmd Donna
Christian.

Docket No. 86-59
This letter is in reference to the "Use by Special Review" for a furniture
manufacturing facility requested by Billy J. and Donna J. Christian. Whose
property is located at 873 Weld Co. Rd. 7, Erie, Colorado. As my job prohibits
me from attending this meeting in person, I would like to comment by letter.
My property borders the Christians' property directly to the North, which is
923 Weld Co. Rd. 7, Erie. I was the first resident in this subdivision as of
June of 1966. The community was designed by Lester Yoder to be a family owned
egg orintated business. As we all know there have been many deviations from
the original concept. In recent years the egg price has been bad and most of
the small original sized buildings had to be abandoned as there is no possible
way to make a profit or break even. Therefore we have a situation where you
have a building which needs to be insured and tax to be paid.
Its my feeling that these facilities should be put to some beneficial use.
The one criteria of consideration to be maintained is that -whatever use, it
does not interfere or infringe on the rights and well being of ones neighbors.
As a next door neighbor to Mr. Christian, I have no problem whatsoever with
his furniture factory. 'There is no noise as-sociated with the facility and
the area is clean and well maintained. There has been no excess road traffic
associated with this facility as there has been with severeal other ventures
in this area. Mr. Christian has my total approval for his venture.
Thank you,

Mr & Mrs Billy J Christian are requesting a Special Review
Permit im Weld County. Our residence is almost directly across
the street and there is no objections for Mr & Mrs Christian
to continue in the operation of their furniture manufacturing
business.
This type of business is clean and without odors to harass
or disturb the neighborhood, as we are plagued with flies,
burning chickens, and the cleaning of chicken barns, to the
point where a backyard barbeque is impossible on weekends.
Sometime the odors are to the point the windows have to be
closed.
It' s a pleasure to have this type of business in this
neighborhood that does not contribute to the already mammoth
problem.
You very uly,
Mr. & Mrs Roland G. Murren

.8y/ CASE NUMBER: USR-748:86:32
APPLICANT: Billy U. and Donna J. Christian
REQUEST: Use by Special Review permit for a furniture manufacturing
facility
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2, Ranch Eggs Subdivision: N} NE} of Section 33,
21N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado
LOCATION: Approximately 1.5 miles east of Erie; east of Weld County -Road 7
and south of Weld County Road 4
APPEARANCE:
Authur Roy, Attorney, represented the applicant. He reviewed the history of
Ranch Eggs Subdivision. The Christian's purchased this property
approximately one year ago. However, the furniture manufacturing business
has been taking place ou the property about three years. Six people are
employed. There is a fence factory, machine shop, and a tool shop within
the subdivision. All neighbors within five hundred feet have singed a
petition in favor of this request. They have reviewed the recommendation of
the Building Inspection Department and intend to comply with these
recommendations.
Billy Christian, property owner, stated he will comply with the building
code and the fire district's recommendations. He has not added any
buildings to the property. The -buildings were on the property when he
bought it. There is no heat in the building, and saw dust and -scraps are
cleaned-up daily and removed from the property.
Tape 248 - Side 1
The Chairman called for discussion from the audience.
-Gene Woznick, surrounding property owner, reported this operation has never
been a problem. There is no noise, dust, or odors. Most of the lots in the
subdivision have large outbuildings, i.e. , sixty by one hundred forty feet,
that formerly were used as chicken houses. This area is definitely in
transition. He would like to see business allowed in this subdivision, but
he would not like to see the zoning changed. He would like to see the
County act on each case on an individual -basis. Also, the property owners
are in the process of forming a homeowner's association.
Richard Sheetz, surrounding property owner, has lived in Ranch Eggs
Subdivision for fourteen years and they have no complaints regarding the
furniture business in the area. It helps the economy in the area. He
would, however, not like to see the subdivision rezoned because some of the
neighbors do want to continue to raise chickens.

Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting

Chuck Portz, surrounding property _owner, stated he -would like to see the
area remain agricultural and to let the -County decide what businesses -could
be there. -Most people want to be able to have a few farm animals.
George Struble, surrounding property owner, is a present egg Producer and if
they let industrial businesses come in it would not be easy to sell their
property. He felt the property should not be rezoned and he does not want
to see industry come into the area. He would not like to see any businesses
in the area which would cause vibrations and upset his chickens.
Bill Mueller, surrounding property owner, felt some of the businesses that
have come into -the area are an asset to the -community. The property has
been cleaned-up and the businesses are a real asset to the subdivision. It
is his feeling an intense chicken _operation is also a commercial in an
agricultural zone.
Lila West, surrounding Property owner, stated they have seventeen acres snd
have never had livestock or chickens. They live across the road from -Ranch
Eggs Subdivision they do not reside in Ranch Eggs itself. They ere not
always able to enjoy the area because of odors, dust, flies, etc. They feel
light industrial businesses in the area are preferable to the chickens when
the area is not kept clean.
The Chairman asked Debbie deBesche to read the recommendation of the
Department of Planning Services into the -record. -The -Staff's recommendation
is :for denial.
MOTION: °'
Lynn Brown moved Case Number USR-748:86:32 for :Billy J. and Donna J.
Christian for a Use by Special Review permit for a furniture manufacturing
facility be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning
Commission's recommendation for -denial based upon the recommendations _of the
Department of Planning Services. She sympathizes and realizes that there is
a great deal of transition going on in this area, and she is certainly aware
that every case sae have had dealing with Ranch Eggs has been, in _one way or
another, extremely controversial. However, we have to judge this rase based
upon the specific criteria for a Use by Special Review, and this clearly
does not conform to the criteria -we need to work -with. She also has
concerns that by allowing increasing industrial usage in this area, which -is
zoned agricultural, we may lust be creating future problems and compounding
what is already a somewhat difficult situation. Motion seconded by Lydia
Dunbar.
The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning
Commission. Discussion followed regarding the transitional and economic
state of this subdivision.

The chairman asked the Secretary to poll the members of the Planning
Commission for their decision. -Lydia Dunbar - Yes; Doug Graff - No, because
he has seen, over the past year or two, some fairly difficult -situations
that have come to use from this particular subdivision. As he reviewed the
standards, by the letter of the law, -maybe this application does not fit
each and every category, but certainly there area lot of them that it does
fit. It can be and has been compatible with the existing and surrounding
things that are going en out there. There have been provisions for the
health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants and the neighborhood. There
are a number of these items that it _does lit into, and there are some that
it floes not. Based on what he feels to be happening in this -area, he has to
vote no. Louis Rademacher - No, he agrees with Doug Graff. Also, he did an
on-site inspection en this request. There are many vacant chicken mouses
-sitting 3n the suhdivision. If they can't make a living raising chickens,
maybe they can put the buildings to another use. It may be that the zoning
- will have to be changed. Jack Holman - Yes, because of the fact that it is
still zoned agricultural we teally can't allow industrial or commercial uses
in the subdivision. These should be somewhere other than _in an
agriculturally oned subdivision. He does agree that the area is going to
have to change, but we are going -to Lave to leave it up to the people in the
area to -request a change of zone to accommodate these type of business
before we should allow industrial -operations in there. Be agrees with Lynn
Brown, that once we allow -commercial/industrial types -of uses in the
subdivision there - would be no end to how many other places would request
these types of businesses. Motion carried with three voting for the motion
and two voting against the -motion.

REQUEST: Use by Special Review permit for a furniture manufacturing
facility.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2, Rauch Eggs -Subdivision located in the Ni NE} of
Section 33, TIN, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County,
Colorado
LOCATION: Approximately 1.5 miles east of Erie, east of Weld County Road 7,
and south of Weld County Road 4.
Be recommended unfavorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the
following reasons:
The proposal is not consistent with the intent of the Agricultural Zone
district. The Agricultural District is intended to provide areas for She
conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and
agricultural production without the interference of other incompatible land
uses. Furniture making is not an agricultural use and is not compatible
with uses allowed in the Agricultural District by right or as a Use by
Special Review.
The proposed use is not compatible with the existing surrounding land uses.
In 1966 Ranch Eggs Subdivision was created to allow a rural residential
setting along with egg production. At present, a number of the lots are
still in egg production with single iamily dwellings. The staff Aetermined
that the -manufacturing of furniture exceeds an accessory use -and does not
qualify as a home business or a home occupation. Approval of this -proposal
would increase and intensify the existing incompatibility of land uses
within the neighborhood.
The proposal is not consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. As stated on page 64 of the plan: "Zoning for
industrial use iu areas outside the areas covered by the comprehensive plans
of the existing municipalities -shall be encour-aged only for low employee
concentration, agriculturally related industries or other industries that
can show they cannot reasonably be accommodated within the area covered by
the municipalities' comprehensive plans." To allow such a use to locate in
a rural residential area is not sound and orderly urban growth, and -evades
the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive -Plan.

Billy and Donna Christian
USR-748:86:32
Page 2
The proposed use is not compatible with the future development of the
surrounding area as permitted by the Agricultural Zoning or with the future
development as projected by the master plan of Erie. In a letter dated July
24, 1986, Henry M. Epstein, Director of Community Development, recommended
denial of this request due to the incompatibility of the proposal with the
area.
There is not adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety
and welfare of neighborhood and the County. This proposal is considered to
be an industrial use and unsuitable for the Agricultural Zone as a Use by
Special Review. The industrial zoning is design to accommodate this type of
use and provide a healthful operating environment for such uses. A
Furniture manufacturing facility should be located in an Industrial Zoned
district and the staff strongly recommends -denial of this proposal.
This recommendation is based in part, upon review of the application
submitted by the applicant, other relevant information regarding the request
and the responses of the referral entities which have reviewed this request.
Motion seconded by Lydia Dunbar.

Billy J. and Donna J. Christian: Applicants
Special Review Permit for a Furniture
Manufacturing Facility
Township 1 North, Range 68 West
Section 33: Part of the N/2 of the NE/4
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Champlin Petroleum Company owns the oil and gas
which underlies the NE/4 of Section 33, Township 1
North, Range 68 West, Weld County, Colorado, a portion
of which is the subject of the above-referenced applica-
tion for special review permit.
I understand from a telephone conversation on July
28, 1986, with Debbie de Besche, Planner for the Weld
County Department of Planning Services, that the acreage
which is the subject of the special review permit
application is located in approximately the NE/4 of the
NE/4 of the N/2 of the NE/4 of Section 33, that only
approximately 4. 2 acres is included in the application,
and that the -entire NE/4 is currently zoned agricul-
tural . I understand further that the structure which
the applicants wish to use for the furniture manufactur-
ing facility is already located on the acreage. In that
the subject of the application includes only 4. 2 acres
of land and that the owner or lessee of oil and gas in
the area has the right to drill one well on approximate-
ly every forty acres in accordance with current Colorado
State Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Rules and
Regulations, it appears that Champlin' s rights to
Weld County Board of County Commisioners
Weld County Planning Commission
July 28, 1986
Page 2
develop its oil and gas will not be substantially
affected by the approval of the special review permit
application, and, therefore, Champlin does not object to
the application. I wish to note, however, that the oil
and gas estate is the dominant estate and that Champlin
wishes to preserve all the rights that it has to produce
the oil and gas which is located under the acreage in
accordance with government rules and regulations.
Very truly yours,

Date: August 19, 1986
CASE NUMBER: USR-748:86:32
NAME: Billy J. and Donna J. Christian
ADDRESS: 873 Weld County Road 7, Erie, Colorado 80516
REQUEST: Use by Special Review permit for a furniture manufacturing
facility.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 2, Ranch Eggs Subdivision, Ni NE} of Section 33,
T1N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado
LOCATION: Approximately 1.3 -miles east of Erie, east of Weld County -Road 7,
and south of Weld County Road 4.
THE DEPARTMENT -OF PLANNING SERVICES STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
The proposal is mot consistent with the intent of the Agricultural Zone
district. The Agricultural District is intended to provide areas for the
conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and
agricultural production without the interference of other incompatible land
uses. Furniture -making is not an agricultural use and is not compatible
with uses allowed in the Agricultural District by sight or as a Use by
Special -Review.
The proposed use is not compatible with the existing surrounding land uses.
In 1966 Ranch Eggs Subdivision -was created to allow -a rural residential
setting along with egg production. At present, a number -of the lots -are
still in egg production with single family dwellings. The staff determined
that the manufacturing of furniture exceeds an -accessory use and woes not
qualify as a home 'business or a home occupation. Approval of this proposal
would increase and intensify the existing incompatibility of land-uses
within the neighborhood.
The proposal is not consistent with the intent of the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. As stated on page -64 of the plan "Zoning for industrial
use in areas outside the areas -covered by the comprehensive plans -of the
existing -municipalities shall le encouraged only for low employee
concentration, agriculturally related industries or other industries that
can show they cannot reasonably be accommodated within the area covered :y
the municipalities' comprehensive plans." To allow such a use to locate in
a rural residential area is not sound and orderly urban growth, and evades
the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed use is not compatible with the future development of the
surrounding area as permitted by the Agricultural Zoning or with the future
development es projected 'by the master plan of Erie. In a letter dated July
2-4, 1986, -Henry M. Epstein, Director of Community Development, recommended
denial of this request due to the incompatibility of the proposal with the
area.

There is not adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety
and welfare of neighborhood and the County. This proposal is considered to
b-e -an industrial use and unsuitable for the Agricultural Zone as a Use by
Special Review. The industrial zoning is design to accommodate this type of
use and provide a healthful operating environment for such uses. A
Furniture manufacturing facility should be located in an Industrial Zoned
district and the staff strongly recommends denial of this proposal.
This recommendation is based in part, upon review of the application
submitted by the applicant, other relevant information regarding the request
and the responses of the referral entities which have reviewed this request.

SIZE OF PARCEL: 4.2 acres.
POSSIBLE ISSUES SUMMARIZED FROM APPLICATION MATERIALS:
The criteria for review of this proposal is listed in Section 24.3 of the
Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Christian was issued a Zoning Violation notice on April 2, 1986 for the
use (furniture manufacturing) of property not allowed by right in the
Agricultural Zone District. On May 9, 1986, Mr. Arthur P. Roy, attorney for
Mr. Christian, submitted a letter regarding the violation. The Department
of Planning Services Staff reviewed the letter and determined that furniture
manufacturing was not a use by right or -a use by special review and that the
property would have to be rezoned to allow the furniture manufacturing use.
I wrote a letter, dated June 5, 1986, to Mr. Roy explaining our position.
Contrary to the staffs determination, Mr. Christian submitted a complete Use
by Special Review application. It was determined that legally we could not
refuse the application, and had to process the application.
Copies of these letter are included in this land use Summary.
The Department of Planning Services has received specific recommendations
from the following entities:
- Weld County Health Department

Gentlemen:
Re: Billy J. Christian and Donna 7. Christian
Lot 2 , Ranch Egg, Inc. , Subdivision
873 Weld County Road 7 , Erie, CO
Mr. and Mrs. Billy J. Christian purchased the above-referenced
property in December of 1-985 from Alvin J. Woznick and Faye M.
Woznick. For a period -of three years or more, Mr. and Mrs.
Woznick had operated a small furniture-making facility on the
-subject property in a building which was destroyed by fire some
time in 1985.
Upon acquisition of the property, Mr. and Mrs. Christian
commenced operating a small furniture-making facility in a
building adjacent to the building that had been destroyed by
lire. Mr. and Mrs. Christian have received from the County
notification that they should cease the operation of their
business. Mr. and Mrs. Christian operate the small furniture
manufacturing business in a building which contains approximately
5 , 000 square feet. The business currently employs six people,
and the furniture is sold wholesale to retail establishments.
-The neigborhood was originally established as a unique egg
production operation. The original scheme was to subdivide the
land into 5-acre lots, upon which would be built a residence and
facilities for the care and feeding of. 6, 000 to 12, 000 chickens
for egg production. Some of the egg production facility has been
expanded to many multiples of the original size, and some of the
chicken- and egg-producing facilities have been abandoned or
converted to other uses. The building in which Mr. and Mrs.
Christian ' s business is currently housed is one -of the original
chicken- and egg-producing buildings with a capacity of 6, 000
chickens.
The properties are currently zoned A (Agricultural) . If zoning
were changed to accommodate the operation of MrY . Christian ' s
facility, the most obvious zone would be I-1 (Industrial ) .
However, it is suggested that, under all the circumstances, use
by special review under the current zoning of A (Agriculture)
would be appropriate and should be considered by the Planning
The Law Building - 1011 11th Avenue - P.O. Box 326 - Creeley,Colorado 80632 - Telephone (303) 356-5400

Commission and the Board of County Commissioners. An agricul-
tural zone permits Home Occupation ( 31. 3. 4 ) and Office (31. 3. 5 )
as uses by right. In addition, the A (Agricultural ) district
permits -home business (31.-4.15 ) as a use by special _review.
The neighborhood has changed since it was established. A number
of properties are no longer dedicated to egg production. The lot
sizes are not compatible with an agricultural use, -except a -high
intensity agricultural use such as egg production.
The -egg industry is now in a deep slump, and many of the egg
producers are going out of business or are losing money at a
substantial rate. Although egg production is -a use by right in
the subdivision, there is reason to believe that concentrated egg
production on parcels as small as those contained in the
subdivision is not appropriate unless the operator is very
diligent in his waste disposal. Sherefore, some question exists
as -to whetter or not return to egg production, or other high
intensity agricultural activity, should be encouraged. She
subdivision is sufficiently remote that rezoning to -an industrial
zone is probably not appropriate and is not in the long-range
best interests of the properties.
Mr. Christian' s use of his property is a use which has been in
effect for some time and which has the broad and deep support of
the neighborhood. Mr. Christian 's use is compatible with a use
by special review granted across the street for a fencing company
and would probably be less obnoxious. The use Mr. Christian
proposes will probably produce 1-ess traffic than that experienced
by the egg production operations; particularly, there will be
less traffic of -heavy vehicles .
While Mr. Christian 's use does not fall strictly within the
definition of home business, office, or home occupation-, it seems
to me that it very arguably falls within the provisions of
Section 31. 4. 1"1 , which permit the use by special review of any
use which is "similar to the Uses listed above as Uses by Special
Review, as long as the Use complies with the general intent of
the A district. " (31. 4. 17 )
I would respectfully suggest that the Planning Commission and the
Board of County Commissioners should consider Mr. Christian's use
as a Use by Special Review, as it is compatible with the
neighborhood, appropriate to the neighborhood, has broad
neighborhood support, is within the intent and scope of the "A"
district and the uses permitted therein, and permits the
Weld County Planning Department
May 9, 1986
Page 3
Commissioners some co-ntrol through developmental standards to
adequately regulate the use, protect the neighborhood, and
maintain continuing control over the neighborhood as it moves
through transition. In addition, it is -my understanding from the
correspondence in my file, that the fire _protection district is
satisfied with the use and supports Mr. Christian 's application.
I appreciate your kind attention to this matter, and -I await your
response as to whether or not the staff considers a request such
as that of Mr. Christian 's appropriate. It seems to me likely
that Mr. Christian will apply for a Use by Special Review in the
near future for review by t-he staff, the Planning Commission, and
the Board of County Commissioners.

Dear Mr. Roy,
Thank you for your letter dated May 9, 1986, explaining a request to allow
the Christian's furniture making facility under the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance's Section 31.4, Uses by Special Review in the agricultural
district.
The staff has completed its review of your request and determined that the
making of furniture would not be consistent with the intent of the
Agricultural zone district. The agricultural district is intended to
provide areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities
related to agriculture and agricultural production without the interference
of other incompatible land uses. The staff feels that furniture making is
not an agriculture use and is not compatible -with uses allowed in the
agricultural district. In your letter you stated that this use is similar
in nature to the Weld County Zoning Ordinance definition of Home Occupation
and/or Home Business. The staff feels that furniture making would not be
considered a home business or home occupation. The definitions are clear
and as follows:
June 5, 1986
Arthur P. Roy
Page 2
HOME BUSINESS: An incidental USE to the principal permitted USE for gainful
employment of the FAMILY residing on the property, where:
1 . Such USE is conducted primarily within a DWELLING UNIT or ACCESSORY
STRUCTURE and principally carried on by the FAMILY resident therein;
2. Such USE is clearly incidental and secondary to the principal permitted
USE and shall not change the character thereof.
Ordinarily a HOME BUSINESS shall not be interpreted to include the
following: clinic, hospital, nursing home, animal hospital, HOTEL/MOTEL,
restaurant, mortuary, and organized classes where more than six (6) person
meet together for instruction on a regular basis. (Does not include classes
sponsored by a PUBLIC SCHOOL) .
HOME OCCUPATION: An incidental USE of a DWELLING UNIT for gainful
employment of the resident therein, where:
1. Such USE is conducted entirely within a DWELLING UNIT and carried on by
the residents thereof and no others.
2. Such USE is clearly incidental and secondary to the USE for the
dwelling for dwelling purposes and shall not change the character
thereof.
3. The total area used for such purposes does not exceed three hundred
square feet.
4. There is no advertising or other indication of the HOME OCCUPATION on
the LOT or any STRUCTURE or vehicle located on or adjacent to the LOT
with the exception that one nameplate shall be allowed which may be
display the name of the occupancy and/or the name of the HOME
OCCUPATION where such nameplate does not exceed 1 square foot in area,
shall be nonilluminated and attached flat to the main STRUCTURE or
visible through a window.
5. There is no exterior storage, display or sales of materials, goods,
supplies or equipment related to the -operation of such HOME OCCUPATION
nor of any highly explosive or combustible materials.
June 5, 1986
Arthur P. Roy
Page 3, 1986
6. There is not offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat,
glare or electrical interference or other hazard or nuisance noticeable
off the LOT if the occupation is conducted in a SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING
or outside the DWELLING UNIT if conducted in other than a SINGLE FAMILY
attached dwelling. Ordinarily a HONE OCCUPATION shall not be
interpreted to include the following: clinic, hospital, nursing home,
animal hospital, HOTELS/MOTELS, restaurant, mortuary, vehicle or boat
repair (including painting) , and organized classes where more than six
persons meet together for instruction on a -regular basis. (Does not
include classes sponsored by a PUBLIC SCHOOL.)
The staff feels that the use of furniture making does not fall under the
definition of Home Business. The nature of the use does not allow it to be
incidental to the single family residence and changes the character of the
residence and the surrounding residential area. She staff also feels that
the use would -not fall under the definition of Home Occupation for the
following reasons:
- The use is not conducted entirely within a dwelling unit.
- The use would not be secondary to the use of the dwelling and
does change the character of the area.
- The total area used in the furniture operation exceeds 300 square
feet.
- There is a sign larger than 1 square foot located on the property.
- There is offensive noise, and dust associated with the use of
furniture making.
Furniture making is considered an industrial use as defined in the I-1 zone
district of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. Seetion 34.2.2.1 of the Weld
County Zoning Ordinance states:
"Any USE of a research, repairing, manufacturing, fabricating,
processing, assembling, or storage nature may be conducted in the I-1
District as long as such USE is conducted only within ENCLOSED
BUILDINGS."
The industrial zoning intent is to provide a healthful operating environment
for industry, to protect industry from the encroachment of commercial and
residential uses. Therefore, furniture making would be compatible with the
I-1 zone district.

The staff feels that to allow an industrial use to occur in a residential
area creates present and future incompatibility problems and issues with the
surrounding home owners.
You do have the right to appeal this decision to the Weld County Board of
Adjustment within (30) thirty days from the date of this letter. The
application form for this procedure is available at our office.
If you have any questions, please call us.

JECT: Uses by Special Review; USR 748: 86 : 32-USR 749: 86 : 33
Dear Debbie: .
I am glad I made the time to call you about the referenced
requests . The background was helpful in understanding the
proposals in an agriculturally zoned area. In my review of
the requests, I came away with the feeling that a misuse of
the present zoning is being suggested by the applicants.
On one level , which is a County concern at this time, air-
craft shops, machine shops, auto and truck repair uses, fence
companies, tool and die shops and furniture manufacturing are
not agricultural or agriculturally related uses particularly
when they are the principal use on the site. Our A-Agricul-
tural zone district does not allow such uses. They are not
uses by special review particularly when the operation goes
from an individual or family activity to one with outside
employees and has no relationship to agriculture.
• The Town of Erie is looking towards growth to I-25 over the
next several decades. What occurs in the Ranch Egg Subdi-
vision is a concern when and if we officially exert more
influence in that area.
In my opinion, the activities suggested by both the
Christians and Muellers would be best situated in a Heavy
Commerical or Light Industrial zone district. They are not
and would not be considered for Uses by Right or Special
Review in an Agricultural zone if located within the Town of
Erie. We therefore recommend DENIAL of both requests. We
would suggest the applicants be directed by Weld County to
apply for rezoning their ground to an appropriate use
category.

The whole premise of zoning is to seek compatibility of land
uses and separation of those uses not normally placed
together. What has been occurring at the Ranch Egg Subdivi-
sion should not be increased. If necessary, the County
should change the entire area' s classification to a mixed use
planned development, large lot residential area to further
restrict applications for industrial uses in an agricultural
zone, or alter the allowed uses in an agricultural zone .

Robert Huffman;
Reference the application for special use permit by Billy Christians
dba. Once A Tree Furniture, 873 WCR 7, Case # USR-748 :86: 32, I am
enclosing the list of requirements that were given to Mr. Christians
on April 15, 1986, for his proposed business.
It was agreed that these would be the minimum requirements that we
the fire district would accept for this operation.
As of this date the water supply has been completed and is accept-
able in the area.
We have not done much in the follow up as far as inspections of
this business at this time, pending the outcome of the granting
or denial of the special use permit, by Weld County.
If such permit is issued, we would then demand said requirements
• be met prior to any further operations. As it stands now we feel
it is technically an illegal operation, however as long as the
owners have made application to the County for special use permit,
we are holding until a decision is made.
After my conversation with you on the 25th of July, 1986, we will
in the future enclose the detailed listing of all fire district
requirements for the building department and the Commissioners to
review with each application. In the past this was not done as
the general requirement that they meet all fire department codes
was used in the approvals. I like this broceedure of enclosing all
requirements in the package and making it a part of the requirement
to obtain permits better.

Re: Case # USR-748 :86: 32
Christians, Billy and Donna
Planning Commission;
The Dacono Fire District has no problem with the proposal of
Mr. and Mrs Christians for the use of this building as a wood-
working shop.
We have worked with Mr. Christians in all aspects of the fire
protection of this area and building.
We now have available in the immediate area some 71,000 gallons
of water with fire department connections for fire protection.
Agreements of storage of flammable liquids, and stock piles of
materials as well as the general house-keeping of the shop have
been agreed upon and are being taken care of.
It is the feeling of the fire district, that this use of the
building and area described will be no more hazardous or no more
problem for fire protection than if it were continued as a shed
or barn for egg production, The woodworking shop is definitely
a cleaner operation and will benefit the area with some local
employement, and at this time the egg production is about a
thing of the past.
The fire district would encourage the usage of the vacant build-
_ ings in this area for small, compatable business operations if
they are able to comply with the necessary fire codes and the
requirements of the planning and building departments.
The Dacono Fire District is in full support for the above listed
request for special use of this property, and will abide by the
decisions of the planning commission and Weld County Commissioners.
If we can be of further assistance on this or any other item,
please contact us, and we appreciate your co-operation on the
notification of such matters.

which underlies the NE/4 of Section 33, Township 1

of which is the subject of the above-referenced applica-
tion for special review permit.
I understand from a telephone conversation on July
28, 1986, with Debbie de Besche, Planner for the Weld
County Department of Planning Services, that the acreage
which is the subject of the special review permit
application is located in approximately the NE/4 of the
NE/4 of the N/2 of the NE/4 of Section 33, that only
approximately 4 . 2 acres is included in the application,
and that the entire NE/4 is currently zoned agricul-
tural. I understand further that the structure which
the applicants wish to use for the furniture manufactur-
ing facility is already located on the acreage. In that
the subject of the application includes only 4 . 2 acres
of land and that the owner or lessee of oil and gas in
the area has the right to drill one well on approximate-
ly every forty acres in accordance with current Colorado
State Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Rules and
Regulations, it appears that Champlin ' s rights to

affected by the approval of the special review permit
application, and, therefore, Champlin does not object to
the application. I wish to note, however , that the oil
and gas estate is the dominant estate and that Champlin
wishes to preserve all the rights that it has to produce
the oil and gas which is located under the acreage in
accordance with government rules and regulations.

36-Ulm clay loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. This is a ,seep, well drained
soil on plains •at elevations of 5,075 to 5,200 feet. It formed in alluvial and
eolian sediments from shale. Included in mapping are small areas of soils that
have shall between 40 and 60 inches. Also included are small areas of soils
where the surface layer and subsoil have been recharged with lime from irrigation.
Typically the surface layer of this Ulm soil is brown clay loam about 5
inches thick. The subsoil is brown and pale brown clay about 14 inches thick,
The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is clay and clay loam.
Permeability is slow. Available water capacity is high. The effective rooting
depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard
is low.
In irrigated areas this soil is suited to all crops commonly grown in the
area, including corn, sugar beets, beans, alfalfa, and small grain. An example
of a suitable cropping system is 3 to 4 years of alfalfa followed by corn, corn
for silage, sugar beets, small grain, or beans. Land leveling, ditch lining,
and installing pipelines are needed for proper water applications.
All methods of irrigation are suitable, but furrow irrigation is the most
common. Barnyard manure and commercial fertilizer are needed for top yields.
In nonirrigated areas this soil is suited to winter wheat, barley, and
sorghum. Most of the acreage is planted to winter wheat. The predicted average
yield is 28 bushels per acre. The soil is summer fallowed in alternate years
to allow moisture accumulation. Generally precipitation is too low for beneficial
use of fertilizer.
Stubble mulch farming, striperopping, and minimum tillage are needed to
control soil blowing and water erosion. Terracing also may be needed to control
water erosion.
The potential native vegetation is dominated by western wheatgrass and blue
grama. 3uffalograss is also present, Potential production ranges from 1,000
pounds per acre in favorable years to 500 pounds in unfavorable years. As range
condition deteriorates, blue grama-buffalograss sod forms. Undesirable weeds
and annuals invade the site as range condition becomes poorer.
Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and
leaving half of the total annual production, Range pitting can reduce runoff.
Seeding is desirable if the range is is poor condition. :iestern wheatgrass,
blue grama, sideoats grama, buffalograss, pubescent wheatgrass, and crested
wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. The grass selected should meet the seasonal
requirements o f ' ivestock. be seeded i� can se„ cd into a clean, firm sorghum stubble,
or it can be drilled into a :firm prepared seedbed. Seeding early in spring has
proven mos successful,
Windbreaks and environmental plantings of trees and shrubs commonly grown
in the area are generally well suited to this soil. Cultivation to control
competing vegetation should be continued for as many years as possible following
planting, Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain
juniper, eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, Siberian elm, Russian-olive, and hackberry.
The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, Siberian peashrub, and American
plum.
Wildlife is an important secondary use of this soil. The cropland areas
provide favorable habitat for ring-necked pheasant and mourning dove. Many
nongame species can be attracted by establishing areas for nesting and escape
cover. For pheasants, undisturbed nesting cover is essential and should be included
in plans for habitat development, especially in areas of intensive agriculture,
Bangela.nd wildlife, for example, the _)ronghorn antelope, can attracted by
developing livestock watering facilities, managing livestock grazing, and reseeding
where needed.
This soil has poor potential for !lban and recreational develonment. Glow
permeability and high shrink swell cause problems in dwelling and road sonstruction.
Capability subclass lie irrigated, Ile nonirigated; Clayey Plains range site.
