USR-1105, Great Guns for a
Subject: Site Specific Development Plan
I have reviewed the application and have the following comments: ti
1. The applicant is indicating that the majority of the shooting stations will be directed,to the
northern and eastern directions--away from the WCR 96. No shooting may occur in the
direction of WCR 96 unless there is an adequate, safe and clear zone set up for shooting.
2. The applicant is indicating that the site will be fenced as required by Weld County Zoning
and Regulations. I would like to add that a locked gate at the main entrance should be
maintained during off hours.
3. The applicant has also indicated that there is the capacity to accommodate 75 to 100 shooters
on the site at one time. I would like to have the applicant identify additional parking and a
turnaround to accommodate the patrons and large delivery trucks.
4. Anytime that a shooter is using the range, there should be a range officer on the site at all
times.
5. There will be one designated main access to the property with an adequately graded road to
permit drainage from the facility.
6. Additional signs are warranted along WCR 96 installed by the Great Guns developers to
warn the traveling public of a shooting range.

Re: Great Guns Site Specific Development/Special Review, USR-1105
Dear Planning Director:
Under the provisions of Section 30-28-136(1)C.R.S., the county is directed to
distribute copies of the Preliminary Plan submittal materials described in Section 30-28-
133(3)(d), related to the proposed water supply for subdivision of land, to the State Engineer
for an opinion on the potential for injury to decreed water rights and adequacy of the proposed
water supply. As pointed out in the State Engineer's memorandum of August 7, 1995, to all
county Planning Directors, because our legislated assignments must be given the highest
priority, we will no longer be able to provide comments on land use actions that do not involve
the subdivision of land as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a)C.R.S. Additionally we will no
longer provide comments on concept, sketch or other submittals proceeding the preliminary
plan for a subdivision of land.
Because this referral is a site specific development plan and not a preliminary plan for
the subdivision of land, we are not providing comments and are returning the submittal
materials for the Great Guns Site Specific Development/Special Review, herewith.
If you have any questions in this matter, please contact John Schurer of this office.
Sincerely, I �-

Dear mr . Garanson:
I have reviewed the application for Great Guns , USR-1105 and
find that there will be no detrimental impacts on native
wildlife or their habitats . The applicants have acknowledged
that release hunting and bird rearing will comply with Division
of Wildlife regulations and state laws, and if this statement is
included in the Great Guns permit, it would be appreciated.
I think that Great Guns could provide a new and unique
recreational opportunity for the citizens of Weld County . Great
Guns should provide a safe environment for young people to learn
about firearms and their proper uses . The Division of Wildlife
will be happy to assist , if asked, with the firearm/hunter
program.
If I may be of any further service, please call me .
Sincerely,
frL 01 ���

Re: Great Guns: Applicant
Special Use Permit Application
Township 8 North. Range 66 West
Section 11: Part of the NW4
Weld County, Colorado
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I represent Union Pacific Land Resources Corporation and Union Pacific Resources
Company (together the "UP Entities") with respect to the above referenced application for a
special use permit for a shooting ran-ranze. The UP Entities own all of the minerals that
underlie the property that is the subject of the special use permit application (the "Property").
The UP Entities understand that the Property is currently zoned agricultural, that the
zoning will not change in the event that the County grants the special use permit, and that
County regulations currently provide that oil and gas production and operations are a use by
right in the agricultural zone.
The applicants, Greg Reeves and Patty Deplazes ("Applicants"), and I met to discuss
the compatible development of the surface estate and the mineral estate. All parties
understand and recognize that the UP Entities and their lessees, agents, successors and
assigns have the right under current Colorado law to locate two drillsites in the W2 of the
NW4 of Section 11 in approximately the center of each of the forty acre quarterquarter
sections.

The parties understand further that they will work together to put safety and
mitigation measures in place to make the two uses compatible at the time when the UP
Entities or any of their lessees, agents, successors and assigns intend to develop the mineral
estate.
Based on the understanding outlined in this letter, the UP Entities would have no
objection to the special use permit application.
Very truly yours,
Molly Sommerville
