I have reviewed the application for special use submitted on behalf of the Gregersons by William G. Crews. Since I will be unable to attend the hearing before the Weld County Planning Commission on June 17th, I am sending this letter to express my strong objections to the Gregerson application. Although I signed the petition at Mr. Crews' request for three temporary accessory dwelling units to be used for additional employee housing on the Gregerson property, I had no idea that the present use was not in compliance with the Weld County Zoning Resolution. Sec. 31.5.4 of the Resolution authorizes the maximum number of animal units as four per acre. The property is comprised of 280 acres. Therefore, according to my interpretation of the zoning resolution, 1,120 units are permitted on the Gregerson property. The total animal units as of February 1, 1997 are 3,592, more than three times the permitted use. The proposed use by special review is wholly inconsistent with the Zoning Resolution and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. A 6,000 animal -unit dairy that is in close proximity to the municipalities of Frederick and Firestone that are in the process of annexing a great deal of property in the area does not make sense. Such an expansion is inconsistent with the residential and commercial development that is taking place in the area. The flies, insect pests, manure and lagoon problems associated with the extensive operation that has been proposed obviously presents significant problems. The increase in the size of the dairy obviously goes far beyond a traditional family farm,.,, rn rDept. JUN 1 6 1997 0 I urge the planning commission to reject the Gregersons' application for a special review permit. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

As I am sure you are aware, the Colorado Department of Transportation is in the beginning stages of construction of a major new interchange at the Del Camino exit. We are also sure that you are aware that this intersection is becoming more and more of a commercial area, with more commercial planned. A full seventy five acres of our acreage is zoned for modular residential homes. We cannot see how allowing for a livestock operation would do anything but cast a pall over the area and bring nothing but complaints from neighbors and businesses for years to come. We strongly ask you to consider what possible good this would bring to this fast growing area, and we would ask you to deny the request. Thank you very much. Yours very truly, Mr: and Mrs. K.G.

(Bataa) would like to make you aware of its easements granted pursuant to an existing Oil and Gas Lease recorded in Book 634 at Reception No. 1556255 and Surface Use Agreement dated December 27, 1993 by and between Francis D. and Phyllis Jean Gregerson and Gerrity Oil & Gas Corporation. Bataa currently operates three oil and gas wells on the subject property (see attached plat). Any construction activities, excavating, digging, or trenching, must be closely coordinated with Bataa so that flowlines traversing the property will not be damaged or encroached upon. In addition, Bataa must be allowed to maintain its access roads, surface equipment areas and subsurface flowlines for each well. Bataa from time to time may be required to perform workover operations on the wells that could create a great deal of noise for any livestock located nearby. This could result in loss milk production. Bataa does not object to Mr. Gregerson's request for dairy operations. However, our greatest concern is that we avoid future loss or damage to both parties. Bataa must be able to continue its operations on the subject property in a safe and efficient manner. Should you have any questions, please give me a call. Very truly yours, BATS OIL, INC.
