PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS
Pickert Dairy
USR-922
LeAnn Reid moved the Planning Commission forward Case Number USR-922 for
William Bradley Pickert and Everdina AnnaMarie Pickert for a Site Specific
Development Plan and a Special Review permit for a livestock confinement
operation (1,000 head dairy with 6 residences) to the Board of County
Commissioners with the our recommendation for approval based upon the
recommendation, conditions, development standards, and additional comments
prepared by the Department of Planning Services' staff, and the testimony
heard by the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by Bud Clemons.
Ann Garrison - Yes, and her reasons for voting yes are that if this is
denied by us and the County Commissioners, and he has to cutback the number
of head of cattle to come into compliance, the County would have no controls
or way of governing what he does, including things the neighbors have
complained about. By granting him this use by special review for his dairy,
the County will have someway of regulating the dairy and its problems.
Richard Kimmel - yes.
Judy Yamaguchi - Yes. She supports what Ann just stated and, hopefully,
things will work out in the neighborhood of growth over the years. Having
observed the present dairy, she feels he 1s well aware of the road hazards,
etc. , and will take things into consideration as he enlarges.
LeAnn Reid - Yes. She was born and raised on a dairy farm and she agrees
with Mr. Pickert that if its washed down wet it creates a bigger odor than
if it is dry. Also, if the health department deems it necessary, they can
close you down within a moments notice, and it is very hard to dispose of
50,000 gallons of milk.
Rick Iverson - yes.
Jean Hoffman - No. She has respected Mr. Pickert's presentation and his
obvious respect from his neighbors and the cooperation shown in the
community. She is interpreting the Comprehensive Plan of Weld County as far
as supporting and preserving agricultural industries to mean that continuing
his operation as it is, which the neighbors have vouched they do not object
to, would be supporting and preserving agricultural. She too was raised on
a farm and appreciate the agricultural influence of Weld County. She is
impressed with her first meeting on the Planning Commission with this
classic conflict between urbanization and rural needs. She would support
the present operation of the Pickert dairy, and sees no reason why he
couldn't be grandfathered in and continue this operation as it exists. She
does, however, oppose the expansion based primarily on the Engineering
Department comments and the other issues brought up about lagoons, seepage
control, and the head per acre problem of intensity as it relates to odor
and water problems.

Planning Commission Comments

Page 2
Bud Clemons - Yes, he would like to inform the people in the audience they
may certainly appear before the Board of County Commissioners when this case
comes before them, and if anyone of you would like a copy of the
recommendations, he is sure the staff would provide a copy to them. Be
believes that while a thousand head of cattle is perhaps more than the
acreage could facilitate, he feels it is better to have them under control
than to have them out of compliance with no recourse. Therefore, by
recommending the granting of the special use permit, he feels the County
will be in a better position to enforce whatever violations there may be,
which will protect everyone to a greater extent than what is now possible.
Jerry Kiefer - Yes.

Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting
August 21, 1990
Page 10
APPEARANCE:
William "Brad" Pickert, property owner and applicant. "Pickert Dairy" is a
family owned and operated dairy. They came here from New York and have
operated the dairy at its present site for the past nine and one-half years.
It has been operated as a dairy for approximately thirty-five years. They
have approximately 450 head, drylot, milking herd, and calves, and are
currently milking about 270 head. There are three dwellings on the
property. They are enlarging only as finances allow them to, and not all at
one time. He has reviewed the recommendation of the Department of Planning
Services' staff and sees no problem with them.
The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience.
Tom Kelly, area farmer has objections because of the odor from an excessive
number of animals concentrated in so small an area. He does not feel it is
possible to control odors when there are that many animals concentrated on
the property.
Ronald Halverson, surrounding property owner, feels enlargement of the dairy
would impact the quality of their life. Right now, Mr. Pickert runs a clean
operation and is a good neighbor, but 1,000 head of cows might increase
traffic, dust, and odor significantly.
Dale Horning, adjacent property owner to the north, feels that because of
the type of soils in this area, the Little Thompson is bound to be
contaminated, and there is the possibility of a decrease in property values.
Keith Schuett reported Wes Potter had advised him that a slow percolation
rate is an advantage in preventing contamination of surface and subsurface •
water.
Lee Morrison stated the soil and slope were taken into consideration and the
percolation rate is an asset.
Randy Pfief, adjacent property owner, also owns a dairy, but not as large.
The holding pond runs over and runs onto his property. He does not object
to this request, but when the holding ponds run over he objects to the
possibility of seepage into the surface and underground water and the
possibility of decreased property values.
Dave Schwinn, surrounding property owner, feels Mr. Pickert does a good job
of operating his dairy. He buys his feed largely from area farmers and he
has bought hay from him. However, he is concerned about traffic, waste
management, odor, runoff, and contamination from insecticides and
disinfectants. r�

Rachelle Lardall, area resident, is concerned about odor and resale value
decreasing on her property.
Judy Kelly, area property owner. Her primary concerns have already been
expressed, but she does not see how they can evade odor.
Brad Pickert stated he understands the neighbors concerns regarding these
problems. However, odor from his operation should not be of great concern.
He runs a dry operation and has no intention of changing this. There are
dairies in the vicinity who run wet operations, and they do have problems
with odor. Most of those speaking today, live upwind from the dairy, but
his family lives in the middle of it and they do not like being surrounding
by offensive odors either. This is an agricultural district and should not
be urbanized. In the morning, they make approximately five round trips with
feed, insilage, etc., and because o£ changes in operation, this should not
increase much. At present the dairy supports four families and a hired man.
It should take five to eight years to reach capacity. Also, he does not
feel his present lagoon was engineered, and is probably just a hole that was
dug to retain runoff. The new holding ponds will be installed exactly as
recommended for soils type, slope, etc.
Lee Morrison briefly reviewed Colorado law regarding runoff.
The Chairman called a break at 4:40 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 4:45
p.m.
The Chairman asked Keith Schuett to read the recommendation of the
Department of Planning Services staff into the record.
MOTION:
LeAnn Reid moved the Planning Commission forward Case Number USR-922 for
William Bradley Pickert and Everdina AnnaMarie Pickert for a Site Specific
Development Plan and a Special Review permit for a livestock confinement
operation (1,000 head dairy with 6 residences) to the Board of County
Commissioners with the our recommendation for approval based upon the
recommendation, conditions, development standards, and additional comments
prepared by the Department of Planning Services' staff, and the testimony
heard by the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by Bud Clemons.
The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning
Commission. Discussion followed.
The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning
Commission for their decision. Ann Garrison - Yes, and her reasons for
voting yes are that if this is denied by us and the County Commissioners,
and he has to cutback the number of head of cattle to come into compliance,
the County would have no controls or way of governing what he does,
including things the neighbors have complained about. By granting him this
use by special review for his dairy, the County will have someway of
regulating the dairy and its problems.

Richard Kimmel - yes.
Judy Yamaguchi - Yes. She supports what Ann just stated and, hopefully,
things will work out in the neighborhood of growth over the years. Having
observed the present dairy, she feels he is well aware of the road hazards,
etc. , and will take things into consideration as he enlarges.
LeAnn Reid - Yes. She was born and raised on a dairy farm and she agrees
with Mr. Pickert that if its washed down wet it creates a bigger odor than
if it is dry. Also, if the health department deems it necessary, they can
close you down within a moments notice, and it is very hard to dispose of
50,000 gallons of milk.
Rick Iverson - yes.
Jean Hoffman - No. She has respected Mr. Pickert's presentation and his
obvious respect from his neighbors and the cooperation shown in the
community. She is interpreting the Comprehensive Plan of Weld County as far
as supporting and preserving agricultural industries to mean that continuing
his operation as it is, which the neighbors have vouched they do not object
to, would be supporting and preserving agricultural. She too was raised on
a farm and appreciate the agricultural influence of Weld County. She is
impressed with her first meeting on the Planning Commission with this
classic conflict between urbanization and rural needs. She would support
.the present operation of the Pickert dairy, and sees no reason why he
couldn't be grandfathered in and continue this operation as it exists. She
does, however, oppose the expansion based primarily on the Engineering
Department comments and the other issues brought up about lagoons, seepage
control, and the head per acre problem of intensity as it relates to odor
and water problems.
Bud Clemons - Yes, he would like tc inform the people in the audience they
may certainly appear before the Board of County Commissioners when this case
comes before them, and if anyone of you would like a copy of the
recommendations, he is sure the staff would provide a copy to them. He
believes that while a thousand head of cattle is perhaps more than the
acreage could facilitate, he feels it is better to have them under control
than to have them out of compliance with no recourse. Therefore, by
recommending the granting of the special use permit, he feels the County
will be in a better position to enforce whatever violations there may be,
which will protect everyone to a greater extent than what is now possible.
Jerry Kiefer - Yes.
The meetinc was adjourned at 5:12 p.m.

Re: Docket No.90-35 Pickert Dairy
Dear Sirs;
Our company manages farmland located in the West Half of Section 28 that lies adjacent to the proposed dairy
expansion. We have consulted with our landowner about the proposed dairy herd increase and would like to
officially object to this expansion. We have serious concerns regarding odor,water quality and pollution and
placing a very large dairy on a small tract of land. This area is too populated and the proposed site inadequate
for such a large dairy. Our farm tenant,Jim Adler also objects to the proposed expansion.
I am writing because it is doubtful I will be able to attend the hearing on August 29th as I will be out of town on
other business.
We ask that you deny the proposed change in zoning and that this dairy is not allowed to increase in size at the
proposed location.
Sincerely,
C ice, 1N-1

August 1990
To whom it may concern:
I am very opposed to the Pikerts request for 1,000 head of cattle and
3 more residences. That would give us not only an extremely odorous
"feed lot" but also a trailer park. Please! ! Give us a break out here.
Their dairy farm is not way out away from civilization where only they
have to deal with the odors of 1,000 head of cattle. There are other
homes in the area--some of them rather close. This is not the place
for this kind of operation.
They have been out of compliance for years with the number of head they
run. Why should they now be rewarded with anything they ask for? What
makes you think that they would now comply with new requirements and
keep only 1,000? With there past track record there'll be 1,500 head
on their 35 acres.
They use a county road between their pits and where the cattle are which
requires many trips back and forth daily. If they are permitted to have
3 times as many head then simple math would suggest that would increase
those trips by 3! ! It would mean triple the large truck loads of hay,
triple the hay grinding which creates an awful green cloud of dust into
the air and also triple the trucks hauling off the manure. Add this
additional traffic and 2 more autos for each of 3 more residences with
all the added dust in the air from the dirty, dusty roads which residents
of Weld County must deal with. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! Please give us
mercy.
Apparently they told neighbors that they do not intend to run 1,000
head but as a matter of principle are asking for the maximum. Why
do this? Could it be to keep neighbors from protesting? If they want
300, 400, 500 let their request be for what they really want. If they
get their permit for 1,000 then in the future either they or someone
that they might sell to could without futher conversation or how many
changes might have occurred put 1,000 head on this land.
Neither Pikerts or anyone they might sell to should be allowed to have
that many head of cattle, and 3 more trailers on this property. Take
a look for yourselves. Too many cows, too many flies, too many ODORS,
too much traffic, too much dust, too much manure, and too many trailers! ! !
It doesn't seem fair that there is no requirement that a sign be posted
on the site of the proposed change. Apparently people who live close
received clusuttgatizzeri some sort of notice by mail, but those of us
who live farther away happen to find°out through the grapevine. I 'm
sure you have regulations but some of us who live in the area but
not next door would like to know what's going on.

Kieth Schuett , Planner :
We understand from Frank Riggle of the Soil Conservation Service , that
there has been some confusion regarding the requested review of the
Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review permit for the
Bradley Pickert and Everdina Anna Marie Pickert 1000 head dairy , Case
Number USR-922 .
The Big Thompson Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors
reviewed the proposal at their regular board meeting on August 7 ,
1990 . The supervisors present had no particular comments , however
there were not enough members present to have a quorum.
Any large-scale livestock confinement operation can present possible
erosion and waste runoff problems . This project is too large an
operation for the local Soil Conservation Service office to assist
with the design of a waste managment system. The Board would suggest
that Weld County Planning or Weld County Health determine if an
adequate waste management and runoff management system needs to be
developed to control possible offsite problems .
Since the scope of the project is beyond the job approval authority
for the local SCS office , and there was not a quorum present at the
meeting, the Big Thompson Soil Conservation District has no comments
about the project at this time .
Sincerely ,
Big Thompson Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors

Feedlot Runoff Containment Plan as approved by the Weld County Health
Department in July of 1990.
3. Applicant shall comply with all State Health Department requirements
for construction and operation of a dairy. Waste disposal retention
and containment facilities shall be reviewed and approved by the Weld
County Health Department, and constructed in compliance with state
statutes.
4. Waste oil, waste paints, stains, treatments, spent drug containers
empty livestock dip containers, anti-freeze, and other associated
liquid and solid wastes, shall be stored and removed for final
disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater
contamination.
5. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site.
6. An I.S.D.S. Evaluation on all existing septic systems will be
necessary, prior to issuing the required septic permits on the
existing systems.

RE : SPECIAL REVIEW PICKERTS DAIRY BERTHOUD, CCLOP.ADO
19504 WCR #f 5
Applicants property is presently being used es a family dairy
operation. The dairy facility has been in use for well over twenty
years . The present owners have been dairying on the property since
January of 1981 .
The Bradley Pickert family derive their livihood from the income
of a herd of dairy cattle that at present numbers approximately 450
head . We also use the property as our home . We also over the years
have been fortunate enough to have had two sons working with us .
At this time , as we ask for this special review, find ourselves
needing to expand our cattle numbers and our personal use housing
facilities to accomadate three sons and their families wishing to
be partners in the business .
Cur special review request then, is for 1000 head of dairy cattle ,
the corrals neccesary to hold and feed them,barns when deemed n.ec-
cesary to protect them from the weather and or to milk and store
produced product . Also their may come a time when we will wish to
store all of our feedstuffs under cover or in specially constructed
facilities . A separate building will be needed to act as mobile
equipment storage and a repair shop. We believe six houses could be
needed for family and labor. six total number.
Nearly all of the surrounding properties surrounding are used
for agricultural production the exceptions being two rural homes
within five hundred feet . One of these homes is occupied by P
couple whose major source of income is a job in. Denver, however
they do raise wheat on their r acres . The other rural home is lo-
cated on three acres , presently unoccupied . Cur son 3ob is trying
to purchase this property for his residence .
A dairy operation of any major size usually is a twenty four hour
a day operation, ours would be no different . We will run three daily
milking shifts with a labor force possibly growing to twenty people
including our families .
A variety of vehicles ranging from personal cars and pickup trucks
to full sized legel road semi-trailers would serve our dairy using
state highway m56 and 'field County road #5 as their basic routes . We
would expect at least one milk pickup daily by semi and probably
seven to ten feed or service or route supply trucks weekly . The ma-
jor exception to this would be heavy local farm truck deliverys
during feed harvest seasons .
Family housing will use health department acproved septic systems .
Cattle manure could be stockpiled for up to six month reri.ds be-
fore removal . Cattle feed stockpiles could be on hand for up to
nine months. Garbage removal is done by contract and is removed on
wee'rly ba.sis .Storm water retention see attached exhibit . ",eater
will be supplied by Little Thompson see attached letter . Fire pro-
tection see attached exhibit .
Garbage removal done by Ginther Trash Masters .
or o
p-
�,S, t.+':9 ,A
Their is no special plan for landscaping. We presently have lawns
flower borders , trees and the like that are well maintained . Any
erosion control is handled as needed .
The facility could easily be converted to alternate agricultural
uses in the advent that their is no longer a need for dairy farms .
Cur time table is ; we are already in operation as future needs
and funds occur then expansion will happen.
The existing dairy is located on land already owned by applicant .
The Weld County Comprehensive Plan specifically designates that
the property be developed for agriculture and limited housing, the
area surrounding is that, as previously described, the property in
question will remain agriculture with a. higher than normal concen-
tration of cows per acre . Weld plan also designates ag industry .
The dairy operation when operating at full capacity will not
develop any unusual or objectionable noises , however if in any case
such is not the case , then we will comply with any applicable noise
standards .
The dairy does not intend to produce any toxic wastes or any other
product or by-product that will be injurious to the health , safety
or welfare of the inhabitants of the surrounding area or county or
the employees or owners of the business . The dairy intends to comply
with any plan developed in accordance with the county health depart-
ment . See attached exhibit .
The area is not located in a flood plain as indicated on the map
produced by the national flood insurance program map revised in
September 28 , 1982 map panel 725 . Weld County kirport is approxi-
mately thirty five miles away .
The county soils map shows four soil types located on the prop-
erty designated by numbers17 ,61 , 65 and82 these soils described on
attached exhibit .

Re: Service Commitment
Dear Mr. Pickert;
In response to your request that we provide you with information
as to the possibility of providing additional water service to
your dairy at the above address, the following is pertinent:
1. Currently, a 1" meter provides service to the dairy,
and we will continue to provide this service in
accordance with the Water Service Agreement between the
owner and the District. The maximum sustained capacity
of this meter is 50 gallons per minute (GPM) .
2 . This 1" meter is supplied by means of a 6" diameter
water main located on the south side of Weld county
Road 40 1/2 . The main has additional capacity available
at this time.
3 . Additional service is possible by means of an
additional water tap or enlargement of the existing
tap. If you should desire to purchase a larger water
tap, we will credit you with the current 1" tap fee as
a "trade in" on a larger tap.
4. There are no capacity problems on that 6" line at
this time, so any size tap up to 2" is available upon
request/payment of necessary fees. Any larger size tap
request must be addressed by the District Board of
Directors in accordance with District Rules and
Regulations.
I hope that this has provided you with the information which you
desired. If you have questions, or should you need additional
information, please contact our office.
Best Reg rds,
