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, TIN, 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 .

CASE NUMBER: Z-483
APPLICANT: Hunter' s View Estates, c/o Brian Grubb
REQUEST: A Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to PUD (Planned Unit
Development)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NW4 of and part of the SW4 of Section 15,
T6N, R66W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: Southeast of Weld County Road 70 and Weld County Road 31.
Brian Grubb, representative for David and Kayleen Hunt, gave an overview of the
surrounding land uses, which includes a small lake, a couple of residences, a
large reservoir, and a cattle operation. On-site at this time is a center-pivot
sprinkler that covers 65 acres of the property. The concept behind this proposed
development is to separate the less productive agricultural land and utilize the
views. Bud Clemons asked Brian to show him how much of the property the
sprinkler covered. Brian showed him a large arc that covered most of the
property except the corners. Judy Yamaguchi asked the percentage of acreage
farmed. Brian said 65 acres would remain agricultural.
The Chairperson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for
or against this application.
Charles Unfug, Attorney, representing surrounding property owners, stated their
opposition. The main concern is this proposal takes up prime agricultural land.
He said the sprinkler was not there three years ago and this is an abuse of the
Planning Unit Development process. The surrounding property owners feel David
Hunt has artificially created corners with the pivot sprinkler. Another concern
was a school bus stopping in the area because the road is on a steep hill so
there is a safety concern for children.
Joseph Hoff, Sonya Burron, Wayne Luecing, and Natalie Sena all had concerns about
the loss of agricultural land. Increased animals that would threaten livestock,
and concern for school bus safety stopping under the brow of the hill.
