Five (5) -profile pits were excavated in the approximate locations of the proposed retention _ponds, the labor housing and residence; to a depth of eight (8) feet. The United States Soil Conservation Survey identifies three (3) types at this site (Section 15, Township 6N, Range £4W) : The Otero sandy loam, Nelson fine sandy loam, and the T₹tedalund loam. The soils are moderately deep to deep, well drained soils with rapid to moderately rapid permeabili- ties. Surface runoffs and erosion hazards for these soil types are low. Visual observation of the profile pits confirmed USSC surveys of the site. The soils observed were predominately light brown, firm-fri-able silty -sands and sand loams from surface to a depth of -40-90 inches. Clayey silts and sands were observed at depths from 70-9?) inches. Silty clays were observed at the -proposed retention pond locations at a depth of 90-108 inches. No groundwater was observed in -any of the profile pits. Seasonal groundwater depths may vary due to irrigation of crop lands adjacent to and on the site. Based upon the soil _conservation _survey and _direct visual observation of soil profile pits; the site appears to be suit-able for intended use of retention ponds for the containment facility and septic systems serving the labor housing and residence. Site specific profile pits and percolation tests will be required to determine the size and location of proposed septic systems for the labor housing and residence. Test Pit #1 0-90 Light brown, firm-friable moist, silty sand 90-1118 Medium brown, moist, firm, clayey silt; no water to 8 feet Test Pit #2 0-40 Medium brown, soft-firm, moist, sandy silt 40-70 Light brown, firm, moist, clayey silt 70-108 Light brown, moist, firm silty clay; no water to 8 feet Test -Pit #3 0-36 Medium brown, firm-soft, -moist, sandy silt 30-80 Light-medium brown, firm, moist, clayey silt 80-108 Light brown, firm, moist, silty clay, no water to B feet Test Pit #4 0-108 Medium brown, firm-soft, moist, sandy silt (very consistent horizon) Test Pit #5 0-10B Medium brown, firm-soft, moist, sandy silt (very consistent horizon) 880237 There is a proposal caning before our County Ccmissioners on the 30th of this month at 2:00 regarding a 2500 head-dairy operation to be located in an area just-north of Gill. This dairy will be-equiped with twelve trailer houses for employees and a massive lagoon system to-handle the waste products. There is mach controversy as to the pros and cons of this type of operation in this particular location. Dairy supporters contend that industralization of the area could'enhance Weld County's standing as an agricultural producer, enticing-more commercial operations into the area, thus-building the county's tax base and contributing to the employment. The contention is that the positive effects out weigh the-bad—and when considered in that aspect alone, it's _correct. The other side of this is that there is a group of families surrounding the area that-would-be directly and adversly affected. Their property values would decline and their quality of life would greatly deteriorate. Is it right to say that some should be forced to sacrifice so others could-be allowed to profit? I certainly do not possess the wisdom to determine this! Another very important consideration is the'effect on our environment. By Weld County's own soil analysis, the ground in this_particular area is sandy loan. The rapid permeability causes a hazard of ground water contamination from sewage lagoons. There are precautions that may be taken, however, nothing is absolute--there are no guarentees! At this point in time when our environment is so vulnerable, a remote possibility of further contamination has the potential of a hazzardous, wide-spread and long-term outcome. Water contamination begins as a seep, accesses to ditch water, further accessing to_river water, thus -spreading quickly and uncontrolably to far teaching areas. Prior generations were unaware of the long range outcome of environmental deterioration. We are now knowledgeable and concerned and now is the tine to clean up past contamination, whenever possible, and-prevent further-abuse of our land. Construction and reconstruction of housing, businesses, industral parks, road-ways, etc. will con- tinue. Cur land, The basis of our existance, cannot be-reconstructed after it-has been destroyed. We owe it to our children, -county, state and country to use the land cautiously and carefully, thusly turning it to the next generation in a manner in which they can live and raise their families without fear. Indeed, there are-pros and cons to this particular venture. The things to be considered -are: I). Do the short term advantages out weigh the long term disadvantages? 2). Will the revenues generated sufficiently off set the costs suffered by scare individuals in the onset of this -as well as cover the potential damage to our land? 3). Could the county's best interest be-served by recammending relocation to an area when: sewage lagoons could be safely implemented? 4). Is this amorally and ecologically sound proposal? Our-commissioners-nave a grave responsibility in their decision. We hope this matter will be given the utmost consideration and caution. All we can expect is that the officials that we elected to represent us and our best interests-do indeed represent_us in the manner in which we expect to be. i EXHIBIT I certify that I have read Lne reverse side of this document and as a resident of Weld County do support the concerns addressed and wish to show that support by my signature afixed below: Ledjdcgca 1;5,7€4, 'ff ) LyfuL.

Case No. USR-d320 Name: Ron Gorzman The Division requests that development standard number -4 be considered -for modification. The -development standard, as At presently exists, requires storm water runoff from the entire site be -retained on the site. This includes the pasture land and crop proiduction land as well as the livestock pens, feed storage lot and associated areas with the dairy. It seems unreasonable to require the applicant to control run-of! from crop -production and pasture land. At would require rather signifi-cant diking and berming around the fields. I suggest that the standard be modified to include only the site around the house, tarns, livestock pens, feed storage area -and not the pasture and crop land. MAR 24 1988 JI �I1 4I®IA C .

This dairy will be equiped with twelve trailer houses for-employees and a massive lagoon system so handle the waste products. There is much controversy as to the pros and cons of this type of operation in this particular location. Dairy supporters contend that industralization of the area would enhance Weld County's standing as an agricultural producer, enticing more commercial operations into the area, thus building the county's tax base and contributing to the employment. The contention is that the positive effects out weigh the bad—and when considered in that aspect alone, it's correct. The other side of this is that there is a group of families surrounding the area that would be directly and adversly affected. Their property values would decline and their quality of life would greatly deteriorate. Is it right to say that some should be forced to sacrifice so others could be allowed to profit? I certainly do not possess the wisdom to determine this! Another very important consideration is the effect on our environment. By Weld County's own soil analysis, the ground in this particular area is sandy loam. The rapid hazard of ground water contamination from sewage permeability causes a g lagoons. There are precautions ma y may be taken, however, nothing is absolute--there are no guarentees! At this point in time when our environment is so vulnerable, a remote possibility of further contamination has the potential of a hazzardous, wide-spread and long-term outcome. Water contamination begins as a seep, accesses to ditch water, further accessing to river water, thus spreading quickly and uncontrolably to far reaching areas. Prior generations were unaware of the long range outcome of environmental deterioration. We are now knowledgeable and concerned and now is the time to clean up past contamination, whenever possible, and prevent further abuse of our land. Construction and reconstruction of housing, businesses, industral parks, road-ways, etc. will con- tinue. Our land, the basis of our existance, cannot be reconstructed after it has been destroyed. We owe it to our children, county, state and country to use the land cautiously and carefully, thusly turning it to the next generation in a manner in which they can live and raise their families without fear. Indeed, there are pros and cons to this particular venture. The things to be considered are: !). Do the short term advantages out weigh the long term disadvantages? 2). Will the revenues generated sufficiently off set the costs suffered by some individuals in the onset of this as well as cover the potential damage to our land? 3). Could the county's best interest be served by recommending relocation to an area where sewage lagoons could be safely implemented? 4). Is this a morally and ecologically sound proposal? Our commissioners have a grave responsibility in their decision. We hope this matter will be given the utmost consideration and caution. All we can expect is that the officials that we elected to represent us and our best interests do indeed represent us in the manner in which we expect to be.

Swanson , I am a resident of Weld County and as a result I feel that I have a vested interest in the outcome of this pro- posed 2500 head dairy operation being considered for north of Gill . I live four miles from the site so the immediate pro- blems of odor and insects do not weigh heavily on my opinion . I do feel compassion for those located close in , as they are very real and substancial problems and should be considered extremely pertinent . My concern , as a Weld County citizen , is the ground water pollution factor . I live directly adjacent to Crow Creek which accesses its water supply from many areas and in turn flows into many more areas . This may be a minor concern to you , as Commissioners , looking at the over-all revenues that could be gained for the county , but my envir- onment is a grave concern for me . I appreciate my environ- ment , the wild life and everything associated with it . I resent de-eply consideration made to jeopardize that , in any manner , however small , in exchange for monetary gain by a few or many . It is my opinion that an area could be found better suited to this and eliminate even the possibility of contam— ination of our ground water . It is my responsibility as well as my right to exercise my opinion which I have done . I would hope that my elected representatives give it due consideration .

Greeley CO 80632 March 18, 1988 Dear Ms. Swanson, During the past few weeks I have listened to much discussion concerning the proposed 2500 head dairy operation North of Gill. My first instinct was one of indifference. I don't live in the area so why should I care one way or another if a large dairy is built in this location. After much thought and discussion I have formed a very definite opinion and am taking the opportunity to exercise my rights as a voter and resident of Weld County to express my opinion. I am a strong believer in our Free Enterprise system. Each and every one of us has the right to choose the way in which we earn a living, so long as it does not interfere or infringe upon the rights of others. As far as I am concerned this dairy operation would definetly be a violation of the rights of the surrounding residents. A number of us have aspirations of living out away from the hassle and hustle of city life. The people in this area have either farmed the area for a number of years or have chosen to build and secure a future in this neighborhood because of the sense of serenity the area offers. Allowing this dairy to come into the area would disrupt the neighborhood in many different ways. I understand that this operation plans to put twelve trailer houses on the property for hired help. The family living next to the site might as well move into town because they are going to overrun by "NEIGHBORS". The lagoon system is cause for alarm due to the ecological problems that may arise. There are many water sources-irrigation ditches, wells, creeks, tiles,etc. that stand a great chance of being contaminated due to the type of soil the dairy is to be built on. I realize the plans are being closely watched and there are quite a few concerns noted by different agencies. Most of the problems can be rectified by changing the original plans. My question is who is going to be responsible for making sure the problems are corrected not only on paper but in the physical building of this dairy? The land purchaser has already indicated a lack of concern for the environment by exercising the intention to con- tinue with this operation knowing of the conamination factor. Why should we believe that the appropriate measures will be taken to protect the neigh- bors and the environment surrounding this proposed site. AFTER THE FACT IS GOING TO BE TOO LATE! XTr,,,8,r C/ 880237 I sincerely hope you will give very careful consideration to this impending matter and will ask yourself how you would feel if it were your property and lifestyle that is in jeopardy.

Swanson , I am a farmer who lives to the south and west of the land where a very large dairy wants to build . This land is north of the town of Gill and is surrounded by some very nice homes . I have enough hassle in my life trying to make a living as a farmer and do not need the added aggrevation of problems this dairy could cause . Why should I worry about sewage getting into my irrigating water? Why should I worry about the twelve trailer houses ; and the pets of the people occupying these homes chasing , maiming , or killing my cattle ? Why should I have to worry about the flies and other insects that will infest our area because of the excessive number of cattle that will be penned up in a small area? Why should I worry ! I should worry because if this dairy is allowed to be built it will be clear to me and my neighbors that none of the people involved in our county ' s politics give a damn about what happens to those of us trying to protect our land and our homes .

It is my understanding a 2500 head dairy has been proposed for the northeast corner of WCR 55 and Hwy. 392. My Family has had a cow/calf operation for many years and we are very familiar with how many head of cattle can be confined to an area without damage to property. Our cattle are confined to corrals for a short period of time in between taking them off of the winter feed and sending them to simmer pasture. We have problems with insects for the short amount of time our cattle are penned up and are very worried about pest and insect problems that will arise fran having so many cattle constantly confined to a relatively small area. We are already faced with a 1200 head dairy directly across the road fran the proposed site of the 2500 head dairy. How can the area support nearly 4000 head of cattle without damage to the surrounding properties? Many of us in the area also winter cattle and sheep on the surrounding farms which will increase the livestock population even more. I an also concerned with the twelve trailer houses that are to be installed for the employees of this dairy. I am afraid of being overrun by people's pets-mainly dogs. Are there any measures being taken to restrict pets? My neighbors are vey considerate of my cow/calf operation and strive to keep thier dogs from running or killing my cattle. The soil in our area is classified as sandy loam and I know from experience that the potential for water contamination, due to a fluctuating water table and the type of soil is of great concern to me. We have a tail water pond with a lift pump that we use for irrigation. The water in this pond would be adversely affected by any sewage and chemical run off fran the dairy. Farming for a living is difficult enough without being subjected to the additional worry over possible crop and water contamination fran sewage and chemicals destroying my very livelihood. I am asking that you please take a long, hard look at the problems and concerns of those of us who stand to lose the very things we have worked so hard for because an operation such as the 2500 head dairy can care in and make a profit at my expense and at the expense of all the people in the area.

We do not feel a dairy a mile and half from our home with lagoons and 13 mobile homes is good for our neighborhood. We do not feel we should be forced to accept 2 dairies within the same mile. One has been approved for 1200 head , now there is a proposal for one with 2500 head . This will he 3700 head of cattle within the same mile, that is going to bring insects and odors like the people of Platteville have with Colorado Tairy.

With at least two dairies already approved in Section 16-6-64 , I don 't feel another dairy in the adjacent section east is in the best interest of the area. One specific item of concern would be the waste water from the -dairy and also the proposed twelve trailer homes . I have a hard time with the leach field of my one family home. I can 't image how they would get ri-d of waste water from the proposed dairy and twelve homes . That soil does not handle water well under ground or on top of the ground. And, of course, the odor and insects are goingto be quite -a problem regardless of what they use. It is really going to reduce the value of our homes in that area. Respectfully submitted, Mary E.

We are not in any way opposed to dairying, having formerly been in the dairy business ourselves. We are however opposed to the location chosen for the dairy . In view of another 12.00 head dairy facility having already been approved directly across the road from the proposed site, it seems that the ordinary problems of lagoons, flies, traffic etc . would only be _compounded in on -already too-populated area. It is our belief' that there are a great many sites -in the county more suitable for an operation of this size.

We have lived here for 30+ years and enjoy our neighborhood and lifestyle . We are not against dairy- ing, nor do we oppose reasonable growth which can be beneficial in many ways . However, the main reason for our vocal opposition is that there is already an approved 1200 head dairy which will in the near future be operated right across the road , and in view of this , we feel our area cannot handle the growth which will re- quire 12 trailer homes for labor force required for oper- ating a 2500 head _dairy .

Dear Commissioner : I am writing in regard to the proposed 2 , 500 head dairy which is currently trying to locate north of Gill . I am one of the principles in Orr Land Company, specializing in farm and ranch sales and own and operate a purebred herd south of Kersey . I would like to preface my comments by saying I have nothing to gain or anything to lose on the final decision you must make on the proposed dairy . With nothing to gain or lose by your decision , you might ask why I bother to write . I know people on both sides of the fence and both have legitimate reasons and concerns for their position, of which you have already heard . My concern and the question I pose to you is : Will the family farmers and families who own homes and acreages be given fair consideration for the impact your decision will have on their lives and the economic future of their property? The people who have raised concerns to this dairy have been referred to as "small people" . In our world of a conglomerates and "bigger is better" , we must remember that we have all been created equal ! We do not have "small people" , just small minds .. , "Let us help iou put your brand _ on a ranch or farm." \- r (ICIER '{�i V � d ' • i �' 801 8th Street,Suite 230 Greeley, Colorado 80631 %t (303)351-8777 /{' '' X,,,©, S 880237 With all the property presently on the market in Weld County , is this the only site suitable to build a 2 , 500 head dairy?

Re: Case #USR-820 Gorzeman Dairy We are writing to voice our opposition to the proposed 2500 head dairy operation to be located north of Gill. We, as home owners in the area are not opposed to dairy operations. We have several, smaller existing dairies in the area. These dairymen are friends as well as neighbors. We are not opposed to industry being generated in our county. We do, however, question the choice of location. This area has established both large farms (by todays standards) as well as smaller parcials. Some have been here all their lives while some have bought and built fairly recently. We question the intense saturation of one area. The potential of an excess of four thousand cattle in a one-half mile area is a little much. We have been told that when one chooses to live in the country, one must be prepared to smell country smells. We whole-heartedly agree. We all raise livestock of one kind or another. Country smells are part of the environment that intices one to go outside the city limits. What we do not expect, is to be subjected to the "mad-made septic" odors associated with lagoon systems. We have been told that we must expect the land to be used in the capacity for which it was originally zoned. Again, we whole-heartedly agree. The special use of the land requested falls outside the capacity for which the land was originally zoned or a special use permit would not be required. We chose to give up the conveniences of finger-tip shopping centers, paved streets and sidewalks, close-in fire and police protection, shorter commut- ing distance to and from our work places and we also chose against the congestion and pollution factors associated with city living. We are trying to protect our environment as it was when we chose the area. Had we wanted to live near an operation such as this we would have chosen to--probably at a much reduced monetary cost to us. However, we chose not to. The investment one makes in his home is probably the largest in his life. Careful and painstaking considerations are made and hard earned money invested. We are trying to protect our lifestyles and values that we chose for our family. We are trying to protect our investment and we are trying `o protect our home. 880237 ,5.k ,,t;J I We are proud of our county's standing as an agricultural producer and -we do not wish to hinder a growth pattern. There is, however, an economical theory (pointed out by the planning commission) called the "Fallacy of Composition" which is when the sum of the parts is not equal to the whole. We would gladly welcome this dairy operation into our county. Our only objection is the choice of location. We feel that an area better suited to the operation and less populated would be in everyones best interest. We are not anti-dairy but we are pro-home! We respectfully request careful consideration by the commission on our ibehalf as the outcome could be very costly and long term for each of us living here. r Sincerely, i c.)-A. (---1111(O.

Box 758 y t . reeley, Co. 80632 919 ; Dear ;orlon Lacy;We are home owners at the bottom cf the hill or the EdtF;vest corner of the proposed dairy. We have lived here nearly 1C years. We farmed the land in ques`ion for several years in the past. The -main lateral ends at the north of this farm. In the event of a bad flood, that water box can not handle the amount of water and goes o'er the top and down through this farm. -The flood rater from the farms above add to the flnoding problem. This accumulation comes to the southwest corner (our corner) and to the east portions of the farm. We are very moncerned about the dama e -a flooded out lagoon or corrals can do to our property and others. This farm has a lot of seep. We're concerned about all the leach- fields and lagoons causing the water table to rise, thus causing water in our basement. We can -see no guarantee that a dairy of this size will -not cause damage to our property or its value. We hone you will take into consideration that you have already approved a 1200-head dairy right across the road crest of our home. We feel that the combined 3700-head, and from om he information fmat n life have and gathered, 4 lagoons, so near to our home affect our way of the saleability of our property. '7e have family operated dairies in our area, and more possible ones, which are assets to our community. The size of this operation will cause the following problems: -1. The smell from the lagoons. There is a tremendous difference it smell between corrals and lagoons. 2. -If we have a flood, this will be raw sewage coming down on us from the lagoons. 3. Insects are a problem year round, with lagoons, as are rats and mice. Sincerely, c . / �;.

CASE NUMBER: USR-820 (continued from February 2, 1988) APPLICANT: -Ron Gorzeman REQUEST: A Special Review permit for a livestock confinement operation (2,500 head dairy) in the A (Agricultural) zone district. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: -Part of the SW} of Section 15, T6N, R64W of the 6th 3.M. , Weld County, :Colorado LOCATION: Approximately 1 .5 miles north of the Sown of Gill; east of Weld County ;toad 55, and north of Highway 392. APPEARANCE: Pat McNear, Realtor, Scott Realty, asked that the summary of the February 2, 1988, planning commission be corrected to read "there will be 600 milking cows for both phase 1 and phase 2." North Weld County Water District assures them there will be ample water available. Asa dairy, this property will create a good tax base, jobs, and an outlet for feed rained in the area. This dairy would be compatible with existing land uses in the area, and should stabilize rather than devalue land -prices. According to the drainage plan, there should be no danger to surrounding properties from drainage or runoff. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience.

Re spoke in opposition to this dairy. Myron Phinney, adjacent property owner, stated he used to farm this land and ,j he is concerned about the drainage and possible flooding in the area. He felt rerouting wastewater on this farm is not feasible. Dan Tietmeyer, area resident, stated he is concerned with the impact the dairy will have on the area's quality of life. Teresa Jones, property owner 1.5 miles from this area, stated they had not been contacted by Mr. McNear regarding this dairy. Dean McElroy, area property owner, stated he was not contacted regarding the dairy going into this area either. He, also, is concerned about the impact the dairy will have on the quality of life in the area and the possibility of declining land values. Derald Peterson, surrounding property owner, spoke against this request because of the possible adverse affects the dairy could have on the quality of life in the area and the offensive odors that are sure to arise from the lagoons. Tape 307 — Side 2 The Chairman asked Lanell Swanson to read the recommendation, conditions, and development standards into the record. Wes Potter, Director, Environmental Health, Weld County Health Department, explained they use the state guidelines for feedlot runoff. According to these guidelines, there must be enough volume for a 24 hour twenty—five year storm with ample capacity to still retain a two foot freeboard. MOTION: Ernie Ross moved Case Number USR-820 for Ron Gorzeman for a Special Review permit for a (2,500 head dairy) in the Agricultural zone district be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval based upon the recommendation, and conditions and Development Standards as outlined by the Department of Planning Services staff and amended by the Planning Commission and the testimony heard by the members of the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by LeAnn Reid. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning Commission. Discussion followed. 880237 Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting February 16, 1988 Page 3 The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Louis Rademacher — Yes; Leann Reid — Yes; Ivan Gosnell - Yes, he lives closer than one-half mile from a dairy, but it is not quite this size. When he bought the property he knew that there was the possibility of having some of the conflicts a dairy presents. Therefore, he puts up with the smell like everyone else in the area does . There are times when he does not necessarily like it, but it is part of living in a farming community. Ernie Ross - No; Paulette Weaver -- No, clearly Weld County is an agricultural county and we do need agricultural enterprises in the county, but as with any other development it needs to be located appropriately and sized appropriately. It seems there is already a considerable density of dairies in this area. This proposed dairy is twice as large as any of the others in the area so it is probably doubling the amount of cattle in the area. It seems people have little trouble with the smaller dairies, but when they become this large, there seems to be understandable opposition. Not everyone thinks that "big" is something they appreciate. This is called a family operation, but if it requires 12 or 14 employees she would not define this as a family operation. There seems to be overwhelming opposition from the people in the immediate area. While we do need agricultural operations in this county, just because something is agricultural does not mean that she, at least, has to approve the operation. She feels there are other things that need to be looked at . In this case, she is inclined to say that although the dairy may be perfectly run in terms of technical operation and other aspects that are important, it seems that it is not appropriate in this particular location. Ann Garrison - No, her decision is based mostly on economics. In making decisions you look at additional benefits and additional costs. She feels that the additional costs to the people in the area and to the environment outweigh the 1 , additional benefits. In economics there is something called the fallacy of composition. When the fallacy of composition deals with the sum of the parts not being equal to the whole, then she feels that the fallacy of composition rules in this particular case. There may be development standards for every dairy in the area which would protect the residents from that dairy, but if you look at the whole, the development standards that would protect the environment and the residents from each individual dairy would not necessarily protect the environment and the individuals from the whole. Motion is a tie vote with three voting for the motion and three voting against the motion. Lee Morrison explained in this instance the motion fails. The Planning Commission on occasion has considered a following motion to explain to the Board of County Commissioners what they wanted the vote to mean. Basically, -what has been done before is that a tie vote is considered no opinion. The Planning Commission is not obligated to make another motion. 880237 BEFORE THE WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Moved by Ernie Ross that the following resolution be introduced for passage by the Weld County Planning Commission. -Be it Resolved by the Weld County :Planning Commission that the application for: CASE NUMBER: USR-820 NAME: -Ron Gorzeman FEB 1 n88 ADDRESS: 2056 South County Road 7, Loveland, CO 805 + y' /7 5 4,N7 -/YY/1 J REQUEST: A Special Review permit for a livestock confinement operation (2,500 head dairy) in the A (Agricultural) zone district.

Rumors have reached me and I have -read one local newspaper article which were totally erroneous. These rumors and misinformation are created and circulated by a small group, who for the most part, do not make their living through production agriculture. They have organized and are distributing biased and false information within the community. Their lack of facts and incorrect assumptions on this matter show total disregard to the good of the agricultural community as a whole. 1 f-eel that the efforts realized by those wno are distorting information and misinforming our community should hold no weight..

Swanson Department of Planning Services DOH File 45100 Weld County 915 - 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Ms. Swanson: We have reviewed the Gorzeman Special Review application, and we have the following comments: 1. Projected traffic on State Highway 392 indicates the need for a 120-foot total right of way, 60 feet each side of the highway centerline. Since the existing width along this property is 30 feet north of the centerline, additional width to meet the projected need should be protected by reservation or, preferably, dedication, as permitted by County regulations. 2. The application indicates that traffic associated with this dairy would use existing accesses to Weld County Road 55. Since it does not appear that the existing access to S.H. 392 will be affected, and the projected vehicular traffic would not require improvements to the S.H. 392/C.R. 55 intersection, we find no conflicts with our interests. Thank you for the opportunity to review this application. Please contact Wally Jacobson at 350-2168 if you have any questions.

Plannine Comma' January 30, 1988 Department of Planning Services 915 10th Street Room 342 Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re: Case No: USR-820 Gentlemen: In response to your letter dated January 4, 1988 on the above- referenced matter, we strongly urge you to deny the issuance of a Special Review Permit for a 2,5001 head dairy operation. We purchased our home and 9 acres and an additional 200 acres in Weld County (within 500 feet of the proposed dairy operation) in October 1986. We left a long-time family farming and ranching operation in Douglas County because it had became one of the fastest growing counties in the country. To get away from dense population areas we moved our family to Gill and made a considerable investment to acquire this place. We chose this place because we felt it afforded our family with a life again in an atmosphere that was quieter, cleaner, more healthful and more rural. Recently (in the last few months) another 2,500 head dairy operation was approved within 500 feet of us. We did not officially protest this. While we were not pleased we felt we were new and didn't particularly want to create problems. However, with this new request that you-have under consideration we must tell you that we are adamantly opposed to your approving the same. 5,000 head of dairy cattle within such a short distance (all within 500 feet of us) is entirely too much. Under current mill levy rates, our house and 9 acres is appraised at $250,000. We feel that 2 dairy operations of this size within 500 feet of our property is entirely too much and would greatly de- `a lue our property and potentially affect what has been a considerable investment on our part. Further, we feel that it would also affect any future resale and marketability of our property. We feel that the quality of life would be affected on us and our two young daughters, that it could pose potential health problems, increase rodent problems and in general not lend itself to the property and lifestyle we enjoy. We strongly urge you to deny this request and want you to know that we are firmly opposed to this request. 880237 351-0768 Sincerely / A: 91RQ9 WIT cc - �?'? `� /;L�—� ,i Cc,t—rte. ��OF COCO�9 ROY ROMER i� JERIS A.

The North Weld County Water District has been designated as the source of water and a letter of commitment for service has been submitted. Information available in our files indicates that the District has sufficient water resources to serve this development and we recommend approval based upon this source. The referral states that a second possible source of water for the dairy would be a domestic well . No information was provided concerning this well , and therefore, we do not recommend approval based upon this source. A tribu- tary well would require augmentation in order to be used.

Historically the tail water from a portion of the land located north of this property had three options; it could be utili2ed for irrigation on approximately 40 acres in the northwest portion of this parcel. ; it could be allowed to flow directly off of this parcel through an existing irrigation ditch running along the north boundary of this parcel and then along County Road 55 to where it drained into Owl Creek; or- a ditch running north and south allowed the water to flow approximately 1200 feet_ south and then along an existing roadway westerly to County Road 55 where it would then again drain into Owl Creek. At which time Mr. t3c]reman begins construction of the dairy, he will eliminate one of these opti ons, and that being the latter of the ditch which runs north and south through the north end of the property. This will provide a much better situation for the drainac a of said water than what has existed in the past by the elimination of the some of the soil erosion and should allow less silt to accumulate in the County barrow pit.

Soon another comes and another and another. Suddenly this group of -hare owners determines that the cattle feeder mist cease his operation due to environment, sanitation, visual desecration of the area or whatever—and he is out of business. The land is sold, re-worked and more homes are built with the original hare owners' property values increased. This is sad, in the fact, that each of us are guaranteed our right to choice. We can choose to live on the east coast or west coast, in a large city, a small town or in a rural, outlying area. We also can choose the environment we wish to be surrounded by. In the instance above the home owners chose the area with the cattle feeder already in existance. What we see happening now is a similar situation in reverse. We have people in this area that chose to live in a rural area and give of themselves to their land and their homes. Some families have been on their land for generations, some have not. But, all of us have put a lifetime of work or our life savings into the lifestyle that we chose. Now, we are asked to make a major and unwanted change in what we value and have worked so hard for. We have family owned and operated dairys in the area. We were knowledgeable of them when the decision to buy was made. They are extremely dedicated and hard working—but, for their families, not big business! Better neighbors and dearer individuals could not be found. We all are concerned for our neighbors and are extremely careful not to disturb or disrupt each others "right to peaceful existance" which we all chose. Although we may not be able to cite legalities as to why a 2500 head dairy operation should not be established, we are trying to show that there are humanities involved. As surrounding neigh- bors, we cannot show that the effect of this proposed operation is direct and devasting. We can, however, show that there is concern and compassion for each other in our "little community" and a large business oriented operation would indeed, directly and drastically alter the entire neigh- boring community. We DO NOT want that very important aspect of our enviroiarent altered or des- troyed! Lie Phinneys are the most directly affected and must show that. All we, as neighbors, can do is support them. We feel the intensity with which one can love his land and resist such a drastic and personally devasting change. It is sad that an individual's right to privacy and choice can be challenged, but it can be and all to often is. It doesn't lessen the heart-felt loss. All one can do when your have and values are altered is up-root and try to find privacy, cleanli- ness and the openness sought in another area. Aside fran the monitary loss in up-rooting is the fact that one is forced to "leave behind" a part of their life and labor that cannot be recaptured anywhere at anytime. We would ask that our right to a peaceful existance and freedom of choice not be overlooked in this matter. WE DO NOT FAVOR THE DAIRY OPERATION PROPOSED IN THIS AREA!

Mr. Goranan intends to con- struct and operate a 2500 head dairy operation. The construction of the facility will occur in two phases. The initial phase will represent approximately half these numbers, tut all information contained in this application will be estimations for the total 2500 head operation. This operation will provide a sound local market for agricultural crops produced in the area as well as additional tax revenues to provide support for our ever growing County budget. 1) All surrounding properties are agricultural crop production. 2) The Southeast and Southwest corners of this property are adjoined by residential structures, the Northeast and Northwest corners are approximately 1/2 mile away from any residential structures. 3) The business will be a family run operation and will employ up to an additional twelve full time employees. 4) Danestic water is available through North Weld County Water District or a domestic well. 5) Two existing accesses, one located approximately 1400' and the other approximately 2600' north of Highway 392 on Road 55, will accomodate the following vehicular traffic: two semi trucks daily for milk pick-up approximately 70,000 lbs. loaded, 6 sent loads per month in and out livestock shipping and receiving, one trailer of feed rations every 2-3 days and enough local farm traffic to deliver approximately 15,000 tons of silage during September. 880237 Dept. of Planning Service December 11, 1987 Page 2 i.e. , this could mean approximately 10 trucks delivering 5 loads each per day or this could mean approximately 5 trucks delivering 10 loads each per day for a period of 15 to 20 days and will vary annually. There will also be vehicular traffic for removal of any excess manure which will be stockpiled on site. Between January and March that could amount to 10,000 tons, possibly 400 to 450 loads out. 6) The sewage facility will be a septic system. 7) Fire protection measures for this facility will comply with State and County building code requirements. 8) The applicant will begin during the 1988 crop season a cropping plan which will allow for establishing mostly alfalfa crop and landscape for proper drainage on the building site for residences, labor housing, barn, and feedlot area. It is intended for construction of the facilities to begin in the summer and fall of 1989 and be completely relocated by spring of 1990 of phase one. This proposal is consistent with the County Comprehensive Plan as it is a commercial use directly dependent upon the agricultural industry and will help the preservation of the agricultural uses in Weld County. It will provide a much needed market for crops raised locally as well as jobs and tax revenues. The dairy should not adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of the neighborhood or county. The surrounding lands are agricultural zoned and primarily used for crop production. This use is consistent with Section 31.4.2 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the policies of the County Comprehensive Plan as it will: 1) Help protect and promote the County's agricultural industry. 2) Preserve prime agricultural land since this is one of the poorer quality farms in the County. The cropping plan for this operation will be the best suited for poorer soil quality and will also help eliminate soil erosion. 3) Not interfere with residential, commercial, and industrial land uses as it is located in a remote crop production area with USR 777, a 1200 head dairy bordering westerly boundary, and USR 705 a commercial trucking business located 1/2 mile to the north and no residential zoning in the area. 4) Not be located in the County's urban growth boundary area, or I-25 mixed use development area and activity centers. 5) Not burden Weld County taxpayers to provide additional public services in a rural area, any such costs will be paid by the applicant. The proposal use is not located in a flood plain or overlay district area. Sincerely, Patrick L.

The underlying material is pale brown and very pale brown loam. Shale is at a depth of about 28 inches. Permeability and available water capacity are moderate. The effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is low. This soil is suited to limited cropping. A suitable • • cropping system is 3 to 4 years of alfalfa followed by 2 years of corn and small grain and alfalfa seeded with a nurse crop. Incorporating plant residue and manure im • • - proves tilth and provides organic matter and plant • nutrients. Most irrigation methods are suitable, but the length of runs should be short to prevent overirrigation. Light, frequent irrigations are best. Sprinkler irrigation is desirable. Commercial fertilizers increase yields and add to the value of the forage produced. 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 25 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 fanning, striperopping, and minimum til- f•'ce are needed to control soil blowing and water erosion. • I gracing also may be needed to control water erosion. • The potential native vegetation is dominated by blue • c"ama. Several mid grasses, such as western wheatgrass and needleandthread, are also present. Potential produc- 'ion ranges from 1,600 pounds per acre in favorable years 'n 1,000 pounds in unfavorable years. As range condition deteriorates, the mid grasses decrease; blue grama, buf- ialograss, snakeweed, yucca, and fringed sage increase; sod forage production drops.

Onsite investigation is needed to determine if plantings are feasible. Rangeland wildlife, such as antelope, cottontail, and coyote, are best suited t,i this soil.

Swanson Weld County Planning Department 915 Tenth Street Greeley, CO 80631 Subject: Use Sy Special Review, Gorzman Dairy, Weld County Dear Ms . Swanson: Subsequent to our phone conversation January 18 , 1988 , the following information is provided to clarify the storm water management plan: 1. You will note that the sketch plan provided in the -preliminary engineering report identifies the loca- tion of the combination feedlot runoff collection/ "clean water" diversion facilities along the eastern and western sides of the pen area . Detail No. 1 on the following page describes the structures. They are designed to collect contaminated runoff from the pens and transport the liquids to the containment facilities . Straw bales will be placed every 100 feet perpendicular to the direction of flow to trap the solids and allow only the liquid portion of the waste stream to be carried to the containment facilities. The outside edge (the edge farthest from the fence line) will actually be a raised berm. It will ensure that the feedlot runoff remains in the collection/sedimentation ditch and also divert uncontaminated runoff away from the feedlot and containment facilities . Detail No. 7 shows the slopes of the pens toward the ditch and the relative locations of the collection/ sediment ditch and diversion berm. 886237 January 19, iJ88 Page 2 2. Both phases of the project are identical in size and will follow the same design concepts for runoff containment and "clean" water control and diversion. 3 . There will be a net decrease in total runoff from the entire approximately 160 acres due to the construction of the containment structures. All runoff from the pen area for a storm up to a 25-year 24-hour event will be retained and used for irrigation. Although the Weld County Subdivision Regulations only specify the design storm- frequency (i.e. 100-year storm) and not the duration, it is typical to use a 1-hour to 2-hour event. These events represent the common high-intensity, short-duration summer thunderstorm. The storm water control plan for the uncontaminated runoff is designed accordingly. 4 . It has also been brought to my attention the existence of field drain tiles on the property. As the northern half of the property is taken out of irrigated crop production, the drain lines will collect and carry little if any water. In any event, the lines will be located and appropriately considered during the final designs and construction. 5. Sanitary wastewaters from the bathroom facilities from both dairy barns and from the dwelling units will be collected and disposed in accordance with Weld County Health Department regulations utilizing properly designed septic tank and leach field systems . Summary In order to minimize the applicants ' initial planning and design expense, a preliminary plan has been developed. Mr. Gorzman fully intends to meet all County and State guidelines and regulations. Once the County approves the Special Use along with appropriate conditions of approval , 880237 January 19, ] 8 Page 3 final designs will be completed. The Gorzman family success- fully operates sizeable dairy operations in Larimer County and in New Mexico . This will be a valuable addition to the agricultural economy of Weld County.
