Elder 686-2621 Tim Brough 686-5210 " AI MI4V4 Des This letter is written to provide you with various information which may e of interest to you concerning our application for a Use By Special Rev . Permit which will be on the agenda of the October 14, Weld County Comr ssion Meeting. OUR _'ERATION Sa`e - Record %estern Wildlife Adventures has been operating a Shooting Preserve for plz; Camebirds, at the location in question, since September, 1985. During this eriod we have not, to our knowledge, created a serious threat or dan- gere .- situation for any of our clients, guests, or surrounding landowners. Our eration and our industry is considered by most to be a very safe and non-: `reatening one. Shotguns are the only weapons allowed for the hunting of o : gamebirds. The ranges at which shotguns are lethal or dangerous are much Tess than lethal ranges for handguns or rifles either one. Most people will agree that the killing range of shotguns is less than 100 yards while that r,f rifles may exceed 880 yards (1/2 mile) . History Western Wildlife Adventures is the primary support for the two principals in this operation, it is a young but growing and profitable business. Chris 3. Elder, and Tim Brough have made a great commitment in both time and money , to provide a safe, recreational hunting experience. Chris and I met at Colorado State University while obtaining our Bachelor of Science Degrees in Wildlife Biology. At the time we met, Chris already had several years of experience at one of Colorado's oldest and most reputable Shooting Preserves. During the following 3 years Chris and I both worked at this EXHIBIT J a io/i 87 hunting club and in other areas directly related to the management of hunting areas. in the fall of 1985 arrangements were made for us to purchase a very young and struggling shooting preserve, named Western Wildlife Adventures. THE USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PROCESS History Approximately nine months ago we were informed by the Weld County Planning Staff that we were in violation of our zoning ordinance. We spoke with the Planning Staff and the County Attorney concerning the validity of our violation, and the resulting need for this permit. We then decided to apply for the permit rather than pursue our argument that we are no different than the numerous Upland and Waterfowl Hunting Clubs which are not required to obtain a USR permit. The Town of Windsor and the Weld County Planning Staff both recommended denial of our permit. This recommendation was based on their opinion that we are a "potential threat to the safety of existing and future residents of the Town". Current Status The Planning Commission has approved our application based on certain developement standards. Our education and experience qualify us to address technical and management issues, however we lack knowledge of this permit process. We did not truly understand this process until the Planning Commission hearing was over. This inexperience and ignorance of the process led to our acceptance of at least one development standard which we will be seeking to delete or change at the Oct. 14 hearing. THE ISSUE OF CONCERN The Town of Windsor has a legitimate concern for the public's safety. It is also our goal to provide for the safety and welfare of our clients, guests, and neighbors. However, we feel that the Town's belief that a shotgun can be a threat to people who are one—half mile away is unfounded. We realize that Windsor is going to grow and that some day it may need to develope the land surrounding us. It is not our intent to stop or prohibit this proposed growth. In the future when _growth does occur, it will then be mutually beneficial for us to move our operation. Therefore, it is the 871296 interim period which Is of concern. We only ask that we be allowed to operate, as we have in the past, until we are a legitimate danger. Our final concern is that on Oct . 14, we will be confronted with many emotional issues which will be represented by individuals who may not understand the very limited dangers which are associated with our operation. We therfore would ask that you consider our application bas_ed on the facts, and not emotion. Attached to this letter are some facts about shotguns, and some definitions of words which we commonly use. Thanking You In Advance For Your flooperation. Sicerely, 11. IA Tim Brou S Chris D. Elder 871296 DEFINITIONS: Shooting Preserve - A defined area of land that is managed for the rearing, propagation, release, and/or hunting of various wildlife Gamebird - A bird which may be hunted or is fit to be hunted Upland Gamebird - A gamebird which lives a _considerable distance from the sea Waterfowl - Birds that swim or frequent water for -purposes other than obtaining drinking water, and which are sought as game Shotgun - A smoothbore shoulder weapon for firing shot at short ranges Rifle - A shoulder weapon with a rifled bore for firing a single projectile at longer ranges . SHOT GUN FACTS: • Shotguns fire from their muzzle numerous spherical lead or steel projectiles (called pellets or shot) . Killing power of -a projectile is related to its velocity (measured in feet/second) and the size of the shot (the diameter measured is inches). The greater the velocity and the larger the shot size, the greater the killing power or potential to injure. Larger shot will retain itsAvelocity better than smaller sizes and will have a greater striking energy. The most common shot sizes for upland gamebirds range from #8's to 46's, their diameters are .090 inches and .110 inches respectively. A BB which is shot -from a common BB gun measures .180 inches, it is 39% larger than a #6 shot. Average velocity at the muzzle of a shotgun (termed muzzle velocity) is about 1 ,200 feet/second. This velocity will drop to about 720 feet/sec. at 40 yards (a 40% loss) .-2 The muzzle velocity of a BB from a pump-type BB gun is 750 feet/second, and from an original daisy BB gun is about 330 feet/second. An average load of #8 shot will travel about 850 feet and a load of #6 shot will travel about 1,000 feet.3 • 1Encyclopedia of Firearms, Harold L. Peterson `The Anatomy of Firearms, L.R. Wallack Colo. Div. of Wildlife Memo, Original information from Sproting Arms and Ammunition Manufactures institute Inc. 671296 SOFTEK C0NIM0NI c4TIDN5,iii[. Oct. 13, 1987 TO: The Weld County Commissioners RE: Western Wildlife boundry I have watched in total amazement the town of Windsor, my home for five years, and the county of Weld, in which I have resided Tor the -past 70 years, totally turn their backs on a vital economic resource and an integral part of local history. And sadly enough, all over a boundry bisected by a flood plain and the distance shotgun pellets travel. My private residence is just beyond the half-mile restriction in question. Having hunted -for nearly three decades, I would not feel in danger if 7 lived within 200 yards of a shooting preserve. Simply put, vertically fired pellets of the shot size in question will -tot navel that far. Of course, this confidence is compounded by the caliber of Tim and Chris, the two young men who own and operate Western Wildlife. I can not say those same things aboutother shooting areas operated during migratory _waterfowl season. First, the shot is heavier and travels -ouch further. Secondly, the amount of booze consumed in many so-called pits is directly related to thetemperature. Western Wildlife tolerates no such abuse. Yet, such places are not being called on to prove accountability. I believe this is a classic -case for compromise. My old and dear friends Marj and Ed Kadlub are positioned by their property to make a worthwhile development for Windsor. Also, my more recent friends Tim and Chris are in the same position. A simple -restriction of use along the flood plain and a 300 yard restriction area would solve the problem. The real winner will be the town of Windsor and county of Weld. �im i ai ARCHITECTURAL 4 ENGINEERING SYSTEMS a SOFTWARE IN HEALTHCARE r fix* B IT 760 Whalers Way, St. Bldg.

Jeanne Brunner, CMC Town Clerk enc. pjb) *MB/7 F 8 71296 4 TOWN OF WINDSOR RESOLUTION NO. 1987- 34 BEING A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION OF WESTERN WILDLIFE ADVENTURES TO THE WELD COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS . WHEREAS , Western Wildlife Adventures has made application for use by special review to the Weld County Board of Commissioners for a shooting preserve adjacent to the boundaries of the Town of Windsor ; and WHEREAS, the Weld County Department of Planning Services has referred the aforesaid application for use by special review to the Town of Windsor for appropriate investigation, examination , and recommendation ; and WHEREAS , on or about August 18, 1987, the Windsor Planning Commission met and , after hearing evidence and argument , unanimously recommended against the pending application for use by special review; and WHEREAS , the recommendation of the Windsor Planning Commission has been transmitted to the Board of Trustees of the Town of Windsor for further action; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees -has further considered the evidence and arguments presented to the Windsor Planning Commission on August 18 , 1987 , and now desires to support the decision of the Planning Commission and , by the recitals contained herein, t-o advise the Board of Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado , of the Town ' s opposition to the proposed use ; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF WINDSOR, COLORADO, AS FOLLOWS : 1 . That the Town of Windsor objects to the use by special review application of Western Wildlife Adventures and urges the Board of Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado , to deny the application . 2 . That the stafT of the Town of Windsor , the Planning Commission of the Town of Windsor , and the members of the Board of Trustees have i-nves t iga ted and examined the proposed use by special review and state the following in support of their objection thereto : a . The proposed use calls for th-e establishment of a shooting preserve adjacent to the boundaries of the Town of Windsor . 871296 b. The shooting preserve would be located within one-half mile of Poudre Park , a developed municipal park located within the boundaries of the Town of Windsor . Poudre Park was developed in part from funds granted to the Town by Weld County for the development of recreational areas . The existence of a shooting preserve in close proximity to the park would reduce the recreational opportunities now afforded by the park and could endanger the users of the park when shooting activities are taking place on the proposed preserve . c . The Town ' s Master Plan calls for the development of another municipal park located in the Riverbend Subdivision , which when developed would also be in close proximity to the shooting preserve , presenting future safety and recreational problems similar to those which would immediately exist at Poudre Park . d . The property encompassed by the proposed use borders properties which may in the near future be annexed to the Town of Windsor . The Code of the Town of Windsor prohibits the discharge of firearm within the boundaries of the Town , thereby presenting potential law enforcement problems as well as safety concerns should the proposed annexations result in residential development as expected . e . The proposed use calls for shooting to be conducted near the Poudre River . The Town of Windsor has consistently supported the proposals of Weld County, Larimer County, the City of Fort Collins , and the City of Greeley for a bike path connecting the City of Fort Collins and the City of Greeley. The existence of a shooting preserve at or in close proximity to a bike path would not be compatible with the use of such a path . f. The Town of Windsor is aware of future development of a highway bypass in the immediate area of the proposed use , as well as proposals for the development of open space and greenbelts in this area . The operation of a shooting preserve would not be compatible with any of these uses . 3 . That , for the reasons set forth above, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Windsor objects to and recommends against the appl ication for use by special Teview of Western Wildlife Adventures and encourages the members of the Board of Trustees and interested citizens of the Town of Windsor to appear before the Board of Commissioners of Weld County, -2- 871296 Colorado , on October 14, 1987 , at 2 : 00 p.m. , concerning this proposed use . Upon motion duly made , seconded , and carried , the foregoing resolution was adopted this 28th day of September , 1987.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: NW} of Section 29, and the NE} of Section 30, all in T6N, R67W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: Adjacent to the City of Windsor, west of Weld County Road 17, and -northwest of Weld County Road 64 . THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE -DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1 . It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' Staff that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 24 .3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: - The proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The proposed site for a Special Review Permit for a recreational guest farm for hunting is located within the Urban Growth Boundary Area of the Town of Windsor and is not in compliance with Urban Growth Boundary Goal 112 and Urban Growth Policy /12.C of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Urban Growth Boundary Goal 1/2 states, in part, that the County should maintain land-use regulations in the Urban Growth Boundary Areas that allow the County and the municipalities to coordinate plans, policies, and standards relating to land use. Urban Growth Boundary Policy 112. C. states, in part, that a municipality's adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies or the recommendation of the land-use decision making body will be considered when reviewing development proposals within an urban growth boundary area. The Town of Windsor's Planning Commission recommended denial of this request in a letter dated August 25, 1987. The Windsor Planning Commission expressed concerns about the potential threat to the safety of the inhabitants while using: a. an existing public park (Poudre Park) with a newly constructed bridge which extends across the Whitney Ditch connecting the park to the Poudre River area; 871296 USR-807:87:33 Western Wildlife Adventures Page 2 b. River Trails, a recently approved single family subdivision of 54 lots, located west of the park; and c. An annexed portion containing (500) acres for the future development of single family residences. The Special Review uses which would be permitted will not be compatible with the future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zone and with future - development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan of the County or the adopted master plans of the Town of Windsor. The Windsor Land—Use map, sheet 1 of 4, shows that future surrounding land uses are intended to be single family residential. In addition, the following incompatible uses exist within approximately one-half mile of the proposed Special Review: a. Skyview Elementary School; b. three proposed single family subdivision developments; c . two town parks (one developed and one planned) . It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that this type of activity should be located outside of an urban growth boundary area. The proposed Use by Special Review is for a recreational guest farm for the raising and hunting of game birds. Western Adventures is supported by members who pay for the right to hunt within the specified boundaries of the guest farm. The members call for hunting appointments and the type of hunting desired: quail, chukars, or pheasant. Management then confirms the reservation and releases the desired game in the northern part of the proposed site prior to the hunters arriving. Under normal use, the applicant has indicated a maximum number of hunters to be 5; however, other special events on the property could cause this number to increase. The applicant also pointed out that 5 hunters would shoot approximately 35 rounds of ammunition during a 4 hour period. All hunting activities would be conducted in the furthermost northeast section of the proposed site because this is the only section that has grass tall enough for the birds to hide. It is also closest in proximity to the Town of Windsor's incorporated boundaries causing concern over the noise and potential safety of the surrounding inhabitants. The proposal is not compatible because of the type of proposed used, the location of the proposed Special Review area, and the plans proposed for future residential development by representatives of the Town of Windsor. 871296 • �„Dsor a 0eV12 'W lna6or 301 WALNUT • WINDSOR, COLORADO 80550 TELEPHONE: (303) 686-7476 August 25 , 1987 Mr. Brian Bingle Department of Planning Services Weld County, Colorado 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE : Western Wildlife Adventures Use by Special Review USR - 807 :87 :33 Dear Brian: The Windsor Planning Commission considered the above mention- ed use by special review application at their August 18 , 1987 meeting . The Town of Windsor has an existing public park ( Poudre Park) with a newly constructed bridge , financed by Weld County Lottery funds , crossing the Whitney Ditch connecting the park to the Poudre River area . River Trails , a recently approved single family subdivision of 54 lots is located west of the park . A future public park is proposed to the north west . To the south , the Town has annexed approximately five-hundred acres zoned single family for future development. Both parks and the undeveloped residential parcels are located within one-half mile of the hunt- ing operation. Due to the potential threat to the safety of existing and future residents of the Town, the Planning Commission made a unanimous decision to recommend denial of the proposed use by special review.

COUNTY OF WELD ) STATE OF COLORADO ) Si-gnature: Owner or Authorized Agent Subscribed and sworn to before me this _ day of 19 NOTARY PUBLIC My commission expires ui1296 TO: Department of Planning Services, Weld County RE: Use by Special Review Application The proposed use for this area shall be a Commercial Wildlife Park, or more commonly called a Shooting Preserve. Upland game birds are currently being raised at this location, we are now requesting approval of this plan so that these birds may be released and hunted on this area. The hunting of released birds is allowed by The Colorado Division of Wildlife during all months of the year at this location. We will normally only allow hunting from September 1 - April 30 of each year. We may have on occasion special events which will take place during the other months, these events may or may not involve the shooting of release birds. Hunting and attendance at any event will not be open to the public, it will only be available to club members and guests of the members an-d/or management. This will allow us to properly manage both the area and the users. For a list of rules that members and their guests will be required to follow see the enclosure, titled Membership Agreement. Hunting and shooting will not be allowed within 300 yards of the existing pens and residence on the property. Hunting and shooting will primarily occur in the areas along the Cache la Poudre River and the Eaton Ditch which are not suitable for crops. The existing row crop field will continue to be planted and hunting may occur on that area after the crops have been harvested. Some of the dry land areas may be used for hunting in the future once the cover becomes more established and is determined to be suitable for that purpose. Note: the Zoning Permit for the existing mobile home is ZPMH-1038, dated June 11 ,1985. The existing uses on the surrounding properties are primarily agricultural, and recreational uses. The properties to the north are currently engaged in raising both crops and cattle, one property is currently being mined for it's gravel, and is also being leased to the Division of Wildlife for the general public's recreational use. The properties to the east are currently being used -for crop production. The properties to the south are being used for crop production and there is currently a shooting range, located on one of these properties. To the west lie some bluffs which are not being used, and above the bluffs the land is being used for crop production. The closest residence to the north of the area is approxiametly one-half mile, to the east is approximately one-half mile, to the south are approximately 200 feet, and 1200 feet, to the west is further than one and a quarter miles. Under normal use the maximum number of hunters using this area for the hunting of released birds will be five persons at any given time. Occasionally more than five individuals will be involved in special events, such as a dog trial, these events are strictly governed and controlled to ensure every one's safety. Currently there are no employees, only the two owner/managers. The normal hours of operation are from 8am - 5pm, Tuesday - Sunday. The only water required for this operation is irrigation water for the hunting areas, this water is supplied by the Eaton Ditch. The only sewage disposal that may be required will be for restroom facilities during a special event, and that will he taken care of by the rental of portable facilities. 871296 Access to this area shall be from Weld County Road 1/, then west on Weld County Road 64, to a private drive which leads to the area. This road then continues onto the farm, and is currently used soley for farming puposes. Although this road does continue through the next farm to Weld County Road 13, access along this road from that intersection is strictly controlled by the landowner at that point. All traffic will enter and exit this area from the souhteast access point. Vehicular traffic will consist of passenger cars, and light duty pickup trucks. Client traffic will, at a maximum, be 12 cars per week with the average nearer to 5 cars per week, during the months of September - April and almost non-existent May - August. A special event may have associated with it heavier traffic for that day. The proposed use is consistent with both the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and the intent of the district since this plan will maintain or increase the productivity of agricultural lands. This plan does not propose a reduction in the number of acres planted to crops. It does however call for a reduction and possible elimination of grazing on this area. The safety and welfare of the surrounding inhabitants will be provided for by clearly posting this area as a shooting preserve, and by requiring hunters to stay within these boundaries and to follow safe hunting practices. This use is compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The adjacent properties are currently being used for crop and animal production. One property has been leased to The Colorado Division of Wildlife in order to provide the public with a recreation area specifically for hunting. On another property there is a shooting range which is currently in use, it is operated by The Hewlett Packard Sportsman's Club. This use should be compatible with any future development of the surrounding area. One landowner in the area is seeking to develope an area for residential home sites. The location of this land is not close enough that our operation will cause a health or safety problem to any future residents. Portions of the proposed use area may be within the flood plain, however since no structures are proposed this should not be a major concern. This area is not located in a geologic hazard or a Weld County Airport overlay district area. The noise associated with this use will consist of irregular and occasional shotgun fire. Projecting the frequency of gunfire is very difficult, in order to get an idea of its relative frequency it can be compared to shooting trap at a shooting range like the one located south of this area. Five trap shooters will shoot 250-500 rounds of shells in an hour. Five hunters may shoot 75 rounds in a four hour hunting session. A rough average for five persons hunting during a four hour period would be 35 rounds. A copy of the soil reports are attached. The soils found this area range from well suited to not well suited for crop production. Wildlife is an important secondary use of these soils. The potential for urban and recreation developement range from excellent to poor. Gazing managemnt should be based on taking less than 50% of the total annual production, and the defferment of grazing may lead to improved range conditions. The soil reports indicate the proposed use will be compatible with these soils. 871296 Erosion problems will be reduced under this use, since it promotes the elimination of grazing, the leaving of as much stubble as possible, and the succession of brushy and woody species of plants. No reclemation procedures will be required upon cessation of the proposed use, in order to return the area to it 's current use. The proposed use requires no start-up time, and the use may start as soon as September 1 , 1987 or as soon as approval is granted. 871296 WESTERN WILDLIFE ADVENTURES MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR 1987-1988 SEASON . 1 Membership in Western Wildlife Adventures is conditional upon payment of annual dues, acceptance of Applicant by the Management, and agreement to the following terms: 1 .
