Harbert, Pro-Tem Commissioner C. W. Kirby Commissioner Gordon E. Lacy Commissioner W. H. Webster Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller Assistant County Attorney, Bruce Barker Planning Department representative, Brian Grubb The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated April 15, 1992, and duly published April 16, 1992, in The New News, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Boing, The Bungee Company, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a recreational facility (bungee jumping) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Bruce Barker, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Brian Grubb, Planning Department representative, recommended the Resolution of the Planning Commission and the Planning staff's recommendation be entered into the record as written. Trenton J. Hersch, President of Boing, said jumping will take place from hot-air balloons on a 40-acre tract, off of Weld County Road 8. He said the safety equipment is available if the Board would like to see it. In response to questions of the Board, Mr. Hersch said the site is about two-thirds of a mile from Highway 85 and about one-half mile from the nearest house. He said the balloons in the air can be seen from Highway 85; however, there are trees screening the site from the Highway. Mr. Hersch said the site was selected because there are also trees between the nearest house and the property, which will help with noise control. Commissioner Harbert suggested overnight camping be restricted, and Mr. Hersch agreed. Mr. Hersch said there are cattle grazing in the area, but there are no feedlots close. He said approximately 10 acres of the northern part of the property will be used, and the other 30 acres will be open. Mr. Hersch said there will be cattle on this property also. Mr. Grubb said there are conditions and development standards addressing grazing and hunting. In response to a question from Commissioner Lacy, Mr. Hersch said they will be jumping mostly on weekends, and they have a verbal agreement with the gun club on the adjacent property. He said they will be in close contact with the gun club come October. In response to a question from Commissioner Lacy, Mr. Grubb said Drew Scheltinga, County Engineer, reviewed the application and felt the bridge on Weld County Road 8 would be adequate for this type of traffic. He confirmed that the representative from the gun club has no conflict with the proposed activities. The Board recommended a letter of understanding rather than a verbal agreement between the gun club and Boing. Mr. Grubb said this could be included as a condition of approval. Mr. Hersch confirmed the access, off of Weld County Road 8, was no problem. There was no public testimony offered concerning said matter. 920384 CC 1-- RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - BOING, THE BUNGEE COMPANY PAGE 2 Commissioner Lacy moved to approve the request of Boing, The Bungee Company, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a recreational facility (bungee jumping) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, with the additional condition of approval and development standard, based on the recommendation of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered into the record. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Webster. Mr. Grubb read Development Standard #20 concerning overnight parking in the area. After further discussion, Mr. Hersch said they could include this advisement in writing on their brochures. Commissioner Harbert suggested that the advisement include no overnight parking on surrounding roadways as well as the site. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Grubb read the revised development standard into the record. This Certification was approved on the 4th day of May, 1992. �� APPROVED: ATTEST: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld County Cle ( rk o e Board t ABy: < ,f' C c K nedy,�Ch/airman III Deputy Cl/e k to the Board EXCUSED DATE OF APPROVAL Constance L.

The meeting was called to order by the Vice-Chairman, Judy Yamaguchi at 1:35 p.m. Tape 411 Boll Call Richard Kimmel Present Jean Hoffman Present Tom Rulon Present Bill O'Hare Present Judy Yamaguchi Present LeAnn Reid Absent Don Feldhaus Present Shirley Camenisch Present Bud Clemons Absent Also present: Brian Grubb, Current Planner, Keith Schuett, Current Planner, Department of Planning Services, Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, John Pickle, Weld County Health Department, Sharyn Ruff, Secretary. The summary of the last regular meeting of the Weld County Planning Commission held on March 17, 1992, was approved as read. CASE NUMBER: USR-967 NAME: Boing, The Bungee Company ADDRESS: 3798 East 118th Way Thornton, CO 80229 REQUEST: A Site Specific Development plan and Special Review Permit for a recreational facility (bungee jumping) in the A (Agricultural) zone district. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the N2 NE4 of Section 24, T1N, R67W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: South of Weld County Road 8 and approximately 2/3 of a mile west of Highway 85 and the Platte River. Trenton Hirsh, applicant, explained the proposed site was chosen because it is in the floodplain, which restricts use, and the location is isolated. The distance from the highway will not distract motorists. Improvements will include vaulted toilet facilities and a larger parking lot. They will operate approximately 6 hours a day seven days a week, weather permitting. Jumps will be scheduled in advance from their office, which is not located on this property, so traffic and number of people will be kept at a minimum. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING April 7, 1992 Page 2 Jean Hoffman asked what days of the week they would operate. Trenton explained again that there would be no definite day of the week scheduling, this type of business is very weather oriented. Shirley Camenisch asked about bungee jumping fatality rates in the United States. Trenton Hirsh said there was one reported fatality in 1991 after 1/2 million reported jumps . Tom Rulon asked if flight paths or traffic control issues had to be filed with the FAA. Trenton Hirsch explained the FAA had virtually washed their hands of this type of operation except for airworthiness of the balloons. Don Feldhaus asked if people watching from the highway was a problem. Trenton Hirsch said they are 2/3 of a mile away from the Highway and the property is bordered with large cottonwood trees. Judy Yamaguchi asked how high the balloon is when the jumps are made. Trenton Hirsh said 150 feet. He explained the balloons are tethered so they don't leave the airspace above the property. Judy asked about the bridge on the access road into the property. Brian Grubb explained the Weld County Engineer had determined the bridge was sufficient for car traffic. The Vice-Chairman asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. Mrs. John Wygan, surrounding property owner, expressed concerns regarding the noise level of the balloon affecting the cattle grazing in the area. She said the adjacent property is somewhat of a wildlife refuge for deer and ducks. They also lease this same property to a gun club. Roland Johnson, hired hand for Mrs. John Wygan, was also concerned about the balloon overhead. He wanted to know if people patronizing this service would have dogs. Trenton Hirsch explained there would be no dogs allowed. He did state the property owner they lease from has 2 or 3 dogs that run on the property now. Nancy Ricardi, surrounding property owner, said she had no objection to this application, but if in the future problems arise, what can be done. Lee Morrison explained that if the applicant was not in compliance with written standards, a complaint could be filed in the Department of Planning Services. Bill O'Hare asked about alcohol control and overnight campers. Trenton Hirsch explained they were in complete agreement that no alcohol would be allowed and overnight camping would not be necessary due to the fact jumps are made by appointment only. Judy Yamaguchi asked Brian Grubb to read the Planning Department' s recommendation into the record. / SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING li April 7, 1992 Page 3 Don Feldhaus moved Case Number USR-967 for a bungee jumping operation in the A (Agricultural) zone district be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commissions recommendation for approval. Bill O'Hare seconded the motion. The Vice-Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Richard Kimmel - yes; Jean Hoffman - yes; Tom Rulon - no; Bill O'Hare - yes; Judy Yamaguchi - yes; Don Feldhaus - yes; Shirley Camenisch - yes. Motion carried.

James McDonald, applicant, asked for a continuance to allow for the return of their attorney, who was out of town. Sharon McDonald, applicant, stated there was confusion regarding the hearing date. She said their attorney' s office called the Weld County Clerk to the Board and was told the hearing was scheduled for May. Lee Morrison had the recording secretary call Betty Hansen at Clerk to the Board to come down and give testimony. Betty Hansen stated the party who was calling was told the McDonald Show Cause Hearing, scheduled with the County Commissioners was in May. Lee Morrison said public notice had been sent out, all of the surrounding property owners in attendance had been notified, notification was made to the McDonalds in the form of a letter and a copy of the agenda. The Planning Commission unanimously decided the regularly scheduled meeting would take place. Don Feldhaus left at 3:07 p.m. Sharon McDonald gave an overview of the airport as it exists and explained they wanted to add two buildings and more small T-hangars. This application also includes the bungee jumping operation previously in violation. The Chairman asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.

The Bungee Company. Adams County supports the Weld Co. requirement to require a special use permit for such an activity; this sets a good precedent should someone propose a similar land use in our jurisdiction. We appreciate to applicant's stated goal to place this use as far away from transportation corridors as possible. The potential that this use could divert the attention of drivers, and result in increased accidents, is a real concern of ours. Accordingly, the applicants need to locate the balloon launch area as far west on the site as possible to achieve the 1-mile separation from Highway 85 stated by the applicant. Turning to the specifics of the case, it is common practice in Adams County to require uses, other than those temporary in nature (less than 90 days in duration), to build permanent structures, such as water and wastewater facilities, and buildings with foundations. We encourage Weld Co. to apply similar standards. Not only do these improvements relate to health and safety issues, they also enhance the value of the property, which results in higher property values paid to the County. These tax proceeds will help pay for the additional services (police, fire, and emergency) necessitated by the use. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding the above comments, please call me. Sincerely, JWhtok MAR i L 1992 Teresa E. Lawler, Planner II Weld Couaypiasta6ng BOARD OF COUNTY ELAINE T.VALENTE JAMES M.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I am writing in opposition to the application for a permit for the above listed activity. I was recently notified by one of the landowners , that this club leases property from, regarding notification of hearing in regards to this permit. Upon checking my schedule, I will not be able to attend the hearing because of previous commitments . I represent 38 members of this club , as president . After taking a phone survey of all of our members and all of our landowners in this area, the response was unanimous against such an activity. The additional traffic, noise, and human intrussion into this area would be in direct conflict with the habitat enhancement efforts that we have made over the past several years . Not to mention, the disturbance of nesting waterfowl in the spring and early summer. Also, in the course of the normal and legal hunting season, this activity would have a direct negative impact . In the last two years, with the construction of nesting boxes , we have been able to bring back a resident population of Wood Ducks to this area. This can be verified with the Division of Wildlife . This area is rich with wildlife that is of the watchable variety. A few that has become common place: Bald Eagles , Sharp Shinned Hawks , Horned Owls , Blue Herons , White Tail Deer, Wild Turkeys , Coyotes , Red Foxes , and an abundance of Prairie Dogs . Not to mention the farm animals that most city dwellers don' t get a chance to see much of, under normal circumstances . I'm sure that a more suitable site for Bungee Jumping can be found and is available. Thank you for your time and the opportunity to have imput into this matter. C d ' LY CHARLES T.

COLORADO February 28, 1992 Edward Perry 141 Kiely Boulevard Santa Clara, CA 95051 Dear Mr. Perry: Thank you for your inquiry. I am writing this letter in response to the questions raised in your letter. The proposed recreational facility will be required to have, at a minimum, a vaulted toilet. The other option would be the construction of a septic and leach field. No portable sanitation facilities will be allowed. There are no tall structures planned such as towers. All of the jumping will be conducted from a hot-air balloon. The facility is located on a 80 acre tract and will require less than 10 acres of that tract. Access is existing to Weld County Road 8 but much improvement will be necessary. The use will be restricted to a specific number of patrons per day and will be governed by a specific set of development standards. The staff' s recommendation, including the development standards, will be available approximately 2 days prior to the scheduled Planning Commission Hearing. If you would like a copy of the staff's recommendation or have any further questions, please call our office. Sincerely, Ottleae Brian A.

THE BUNGEE COMPANY PROPOSES TO PROVIDE THE RECREATIONAL SPORT OF BUNGEE JUMPING TO THE PUBLIC. BUNGEE JUMPING IS THE SPORT OF JUMPING FROM A HOT AIR BALLOON, PLATFORM, OR CRANE WHILE ATTACHED TO EXTREMELY STRONG ELASTIC CORDS. BOING! WILL UTILIZE A 105 THOUSAND CUBIC FOOT HOT AIR BALLOON. THE CORDS ARE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE BALLOON BASKET MY MEANS OF A NYLON HARNESS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING A MINIMUM OF 4500#. THE CORDS ARE THEN ATTACHED TO A SEAT HARNESS AND ALSO A CHEST HARNESS WORN BY THE PARTICIPANT. THE CORDS HAVE A MINIMUM BREAK STRENGTH OF 450# EACH, AND ARE USED IN COMBINATIONS OF 3, 4, OR 5 CORDS, DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT OF THE JUMPER. AFTER THE CORDS ARE ATTACHED TO THE JUMPER, HE/SHE ENTERS THE BASKET. THE BALLOON THEN ASCENDS TO THE PROPER ALTITUDE, THE JUMPER EXITS THE BASKET ONTO THE PLATFORM, AND ON THE COUNT OF THREE, THE PARTICIPANT JUMPS. THE CORDS STRETCH APPROXIMATELY ONE AND ONE HALF TIMES THEIR RELAXED LENGTH, THEN RECOIL PULLING THE JUMPER BACK UP APPROXIMATELY 80' FEET. AFTER A FEW BOUNCES THE JUMPER IS STABILIZED IN A SEATED POSITION. THE BALLOON PILOT THEN LOWERS THE JUMPER TO THE GROUND WHERE HE/SHE IS ASSISTED BY THE CREW AND UNHOOKED FROM THE CORDS. BOING1 WILL OPERATE UNDER THE MOST STRINGENT SAFETY STANDARDS ASSURING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR BOTH THE PARTICIPANT AND SPECTATORS. NEED FOR USE THE SPORT OF BUNGEE JUMPING IS BECOMING VERY POPULAR WORLDWIDE. BOING! WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SITE TO ASSURE A SAFE JUMP SITE, OPERATING WITHIN THE RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE COUNTY AND STATE. A COMMERCIAL SITE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THIS SPORT, AWAY FROM MAJOR ROADWAYS, IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE. BOING! WANTS TO AVOID ANY DISTRACTIONS TO PASSING MOTORISTS THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE SITE WE HAVE CHOSEN IS NEARLY A MILE FROM HWY 85, AND NOT READILY VISIBLE FROM ANY MAIN ROADWAYS. EXISTING USES ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ZONED AGRICULTURAL CONSISTING OF DRY LAND AND IRRIGATED FARMING AND PASTURE.

FIRE PROTECTION MEASURES THERE ARE NO PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT THE SITE THAT WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FIRE PROTECTION. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WILL BE PLACED AT STRATEGIC LOCATIONS ON THE PREMISES. WASTE AND DEBRIS REMOVAL TRASH RECEPTACLES WILL BE PROVIDED AND PLACED FOR EASY ACCESS OF USERS. ALL TRASH WILL BE COLLECTED AND REMOVED WEEKLY BY BFI WASTE SYSTEMS. LANDSCAPING PLANS AND EROSION CONTROL SINCE THE SITE WILL SEE LIMITED USE, APPROXIMATELY TEN ( 10) HOURS PER WEEK, LANDSCAPING AND EROSION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TO BE A PROBLEM. THE AREA IS NOW IN PASTURE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE USED AS PASTURE IN THE FUTURE. RECLAMATION PROCEDURES UPON CESSATION OF THE PROPOSED USE ALL IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE REMOVED AND THE AREA RETURNED TO PASTURE. TIME TABLE FOR START-UP BOING! WOULD LIKE TO START OPERATIONS AS SOON AS THE USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT IS APPROVED. (page 3) �,c yr- STATEMENT RE: WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BOING: FEELS THAT THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. THE "USE" DOES NOT REMOVE "PRIME" AGRICULTURE LAND FROM USE. THE SITE IS LOCATED ON A PIECE OF LAND THAT IS NOT IRRIGATED. 2. THE SITE HAS NOT DESTROYED ANY NATURAL FEATURES AND WILL PROVIDE A MORE PRODUCTIVE USE OF THIS TRACT OF LAND. 3. THE TRAFFIC IMPACT WILL BE MINIMAL DUE TO WEEKEND OPERATIONS AND THE SMALL NUMBER OF VEHICLES INVOLVED. 4. THE PROPOSED FACILITY WILL PROVIDE A CLEAN RECREATIONAL USE WITH A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF IMPROVEMENTS AND IMPACT. CONSISTENCY WITH THE INTENT OF THE DISTRICT THE PROPOSED USE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL ZONING DISTRICT AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES ARE ALLOWED BY SPECIAL REVIEW. THE USE IS NON-INDUSTRIAL AND WILL HAVE A MINIMAL AFFECT ON THE AGRICULTURAL AREA. THROUGH THIS USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PROCESS THERE WILL BE ADEQUATE CONTROLS. EFFORTS MADE TO CONSERVE AGRICULTURAL LANDS THE SITE BOING! HAS SELECTED IS DRYLAND PASTURE AND WILL REMAIN AS SUCH. PROVISION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOING! HAS INTENTIONALLY SELECTED AN ISOLATED SITE TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY. THE OPERATION POSES NO RISK TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE COUNTY. (page 4) COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING SURROUNDING LAND USES THE SURROUNDING AREA IS PRIMARILY AGRICULTURAL LAND. SINCE THE OPERATION WILL NOT ALTER THE LAND USE AS PASTURE, IT WILL REMAIN COMPATIBLE WITH THE AREA. FUTURE COMPATIBILITY WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA THIS AREA IS NOT TARGETED FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND THE SITE IS IN A FLOOD PLAIN WHICH WILL PREVENT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. FLOOD PLAIN, GEOLOGIC HAZARD, AIRPORT OVERLAY THERE ARE NO GEOLOGIC HAZARDS THAT ARE KNOWN AT THIS TIME AND THE PROPERTY DOES NOT LIE IN AN AIRPORT OVERLAY. THE PROPERTY IS IN THE FLOOD PLAIN BUT NO PERMANENT STRUCTURES WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE FLOOD PRONE AREA. PROOF OF WATER SUPPLY SEE ATTACHED WELL PERMIT. COPY OF DEED ATTACHED HERETO.
