The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated May 22, 1996, and duly published May 30, 1996,
in the North Weld Herald, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Greg G. Baker
for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for an outdoor recreational facility
(hunting, fishing, field dog trialing, and bird raising) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Lee
Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Gloria Dunn, Planning
Department representative, presented a brief summary of the proposal and entered the favorable
recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written, with the following
exceptions: Correct Reason #2.d. to reference Development Standard #8 rather than #9; and
delete Conditions of Approval #3 and #4, which were met prior to this hearing, and renumber the
remaining Conditions of Approval consecutively. Tom Hellerich, Attorney, represented the
applicant and stated the applicant plans to enhance the existing wetlands, continue a small cow/calf
operation, and add eight dogs and numerous birds to the site. He reviewed the goals as met by
the applicant and stated the proposal includes hunting and fishing, with 28-acres of permanent
easement to a wildlife status. Mr. Hellerich stated the total site is 149 acres and will include a
1500-foot clubhouse. He noted no objections to staffs recommendation including all Conditions
of Approval and Development Standards. Mr. Hellerich further explained there will be
approximately 6,000 birds per year on site and trucks will deliver food about every two weeks. He
said the hours of operation will be from sunrise to sunset, with a maximum of four hunters allowed
on site at one time and only one additional employee from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. He reviewed the
manner of handling waste and stated 250 trees per year will be added over the next five years as
part of a voluntary program. Mr. Hellerich then responded to questions from the Board concerning

previous use of the land and the designated wetlands and reiterated agreement with all Conditions
of Approval and Development Standards. James Croissant, surrounding property owner,
questioned where hunters would be allowed andhow the dogs would be controlled. Greg Baker,
applicant, explained new fences would be installed along with the Federal easement agreement
and noted Mr. Croissants input as to the type of fencing is more than welcome. He confirmed all
hunts will be guided and the dogs will always be controlled and supervised. Responding to
questions from the Board, Mr. Baker stated a sincere attempt to contact any surrounding land
owner prior to entering onto land to retrieve a bird is required by law; however, most likely the bird
would be left if contact is not possible. Commissioner Hall moved to approve the request of Greg
G. Baker for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for an outdoor
recreational facility (hunting, fishing, field dog trialing, and bird raising) in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with
the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards as entered into the record and as
amended by staff. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Baxter, and it carried unanimously.
This Certification was approved on the 17th day of June, 1996.
