SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
HEARING DATE: August 5, 1997
REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for a Private Airstrip
in the A (Agricultural) zone district
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: NE4 of Section 28, T9N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
LOCATION: East and adjacent to Weld County Road 29 1/2; south and adjacent to Weld County
Road 102

THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS
REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 24.7
of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services's staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 24.3 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended, as follows:
a. Section 243.1.1 — This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan, as amended. A. Goal 1 encourages the preservation of prime farmland for
agricultural purposes. Soils on the site are considered high potential dry cropland by
the USDA Soil Conservation Service map. The availability of a consistent supply of
water must exist in order for soils to be classified prime. Land use on the site is
principally nonirrigated crop production with improvements located in the southwest
comer of the property. The proposed airstrip will be dirt and the remainder of the site
will continue its present use.

USR-1159, Vandenbos

b. Section 24.3.1.2 -- This proposal is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural)
zone district. The property owner intends to continue the existing agricultural uses
on the site. Section 31.4.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended,
allows for the proposed use with the approval of a Special Review permit.
c. Section 24.3.1.3 -- The uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses. Five residences are located in the immediate area;
four are east of the site, more than 1/4 mile from the proposed airstrip. Only one
residence is located within fairly close proximity of the airstrip, to the south. Staff has
received no objections to the request from surrounding property owners.
d. Section 24.3.1.4 --The proposed uses will be compatible with future development of
the surrounding area as permitted by the A (Agricultural) zone districts and with the
future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plan or Master Plan of
affected municipalities. The Town of Nunn, located '/z mile south of the site, has
indicated no conflict with the proposal. The airstrip will be required to maintain
compliance with the the Federal Aviation Administration's rules and regulations.
e. Section 24.3.1.5 -- The proposal is not located within the Overlay District Areas
identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County.
f. Section 24.3.1.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
productive agricultural land. Land proposed for the airstrip is located such that the
greatest area of cropland on the site is not affected, while also ensuring that the
airstrip is situated a safe distance from the property owner's residence. The airstrip
will be in a north -south orientation on the property with dimensions of 50 feet by
approximately 2,655 feet (total square footage of 132,750).
Section 24.3.1.7 --The Design Standards (Section 24.5 of the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance, as amended), Operation Standards (Section 24.6 of the Weld County
Zoning Ordinance, as amended), Conditions of Approval, and Development
Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and county. In addition,
review of FAA Form 7480-1, Notice of Landing Area Proposal, by the Federal
Aviation Administration will be required prior to recording the plat.

Dear ms. Vandenbos:
Your application and related materials for the request described above are being processed. I have scheduled a meeting with
the Weld County Planning Commission for August 5, 1997, at 1:30 p.m. This meeting will take place in the County
Commissioners' Hearing Room, First Floor, Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is
recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members
may have.
It is the policy of Weld County to refer an application to any town or municipality lying within three miles of the property or
if the property is located within the comprehensive planning area of a town or municipality. Therefore, our office has
forwarded a copy of the submitted materials to the Nunn Planning Commission for its review and comments. Please call
Wendy Kruger with the Town of Nunn, at 970-897-2385, for further details regarding the date, time, and place of this meeting.
It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance at the Nunn Planning Commission meeting to answer
any questions the Commission members may have with respect to your application.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten days prior to the

in the most prominent place on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive)
intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to the Weld County
