Lee Morrison read the title of Ordinance No. 147-G into the record and presented a copy of an article from The Colorado Lawyer entitled: "Accommodation Between Surface Development and Oil and Gas Drilling." Monica Mika, Planning Department, presented three letters received from Southwest Weld County Economic Development Group, Front Range Land and Mineral Owners Association, and the City of Longmont, Department of Community Development, Planning Division. Ms. Mika stated the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee met on July 20, 1995, however, a quorum was not present; therefore, the proposed changes submitted are from those individuals who were present, not a quorum of the Committee. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated her understanding at the first reading was that changes would be considered at this reading, not that they would be incorporated into the Ordinance. Mr. Morrison explained that the changes incorporated into the Ordinance are those which were drafted after the hearing, and Ms. Mika indicated they are delineated by either bold print or highlighting and striking out of the existing text. After discussion, Commissioner Webster questioned Goal 6, on page 3-5. Ms. Mika indicated it was to allow developments to pay for the impacts of its development, such as road impacts. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she would rather have it inserted into the appropriate sections to cover all types of development, rather than just having it in the one section. Mr. Morrison stated that would be on page 3-6 and 3-8. Ms. Mika mentioned the other undecided item is changes to the MUD map. In response to Chairman Hall regarding changes to the oil and gas section, Mr. Morrison stated staff is not recommending the changes; however, they are suitable and could be incorporated without prejudicing the County's position on pre -exemption. Walt Lunsford, Prima Gas Company, discussed his concerns regarding the use of the word "accommodation" when referring to the oil company's dealings with the surface owner. He would rather the Board use the word "consider". Mr. Lunsford stated other changes he would prefer and, after discussion, Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the word "consider" and communication with the surface owner does not go far enough; the Board does want a balance of interest to be included. Rusty Tucker, member of COGA, expressed his thanks for being allowed to participate in the revision process. Robert Thorsen, Town Administrator of Platteville, urged the Commissioners to approve the Ordinance without any changes. Fred Gibbs, Front Range Land and Mineral Committee, stated he would like to see the words "oil and gas" substituted for the word "mineral" in the oil and gas section. Responding to Chairman Hall, Mr. Morrison stated minerals are covered in another section. Commission Kirkmeyer moved to continue this matter to August 14, 1995; however, staff is to present all drafts of changes, with recommendations, to the Board for consideration by August 7, 1995. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Webster, carried unanimously. Commissioner Kirkmeyer clarified that staff recommendations on the Oil and Gas Section and MUD maps are requested by August 7, 1995.
