REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for a
recreational facility/shooting range in the A (Agricultural) zone

David Pehr, representative, explained Greenmill has had a shooting range in Adams
County since the early 196O' s. The area has become too congested and they have
found a new site for the range. The range will consist of a large and small bore
rifle range, a pistol range and trap shooting. Proposed backstops and berms
provide more than adequate safety measures.
Judy Yamaguchi asked if ownership/management would remain the same. David said
yes, with some changes in rules and regulations to meet the needs of this
particular site. There are oil and gas wells on the property and contracts have
been signed with the oil and gas company. Bill O'Hare asked if grazing would be
allowed on the unused portion of the property. David said they intend to allow
agricultural uses in the non-active locations.
The Chairperson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for
or against this application. No one wished to speak.
Bud Clemons had concerns regarding safety issues and control of people using the
facility.

3c. The Weld County Sheriff' s Office will review and make a recommendation
regarding safety requirements at this site. Bill O'Hare seconded the

CASE NUMBER: USR-1032
APPLICANT: Basin Operating
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for two
water injection wells in the A (Agricultural) zone district.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of Section 3, T1N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld
County, Colorado.
LOCATION: Approximately 1/2 mile south of State Highway 52; 1/2 mile west of
Interstate 25.
Steve Schmitz, Operations Engineer, Basin Operating, gave an overhead
presentation of the proposal. This facility is used to handle water from oil and
gas wells. The wells are what is known as "marginal wells" that produced alot
of water along with oil/gas. The existing battery has a pipeline system in
existence. There will be eight trucks daily pumping into the existing battery.
Judy Yamaguchi asked about the building on-site. Steve said the building is the
field office also known as "the doghouse".
Steve was concerned about the Weld County Health Department requirements
(Development Standards #3 and 14) for water and sewer. Jeff Stoll explained
these are standard requirements. Bottled water on-site would be considered a
potable water source, and a "vault" system would suffice for sewer requirements.
