Commissioners: Aug 21 - Docket #2024-43, PL2922 - A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR24- 0010, for a Solar Energy Facility (SEF) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, Sunlight Farm, LLC, c/o Pivot Solar 59, LLC [located west of and adjacent to County Road 47; approximately 385 feet north of County Road 70] (Planner — Chris Gathman) — (Cont'd from 7/31/2024) 10:00 Please accept this letter as my testimony for the public hearing on the case listed above. Travel has taken me out of town so I couldn't be with you today. I have met extensively with Pivot Energy's leads on this project to have a better understanding of their goals and to express my concerns about living next to the solar farm. I had a wish list of asks that would be the bare minimum on what would be acceptable for ground cover greenery and overall aesthetics. Part of my, and my neighbors', concerns are that this property doesn't become a neglected weed patch. This property had water on it at one time and it has been sold off; therefore, we have negotiated a deal with Pivot Energy to use my irrigation water and run it through subsurface drip tape on the property in question, as well as myself becoming the Vegetation Manager for this project —having a direct hand in cultivating and maintaining desired vegetation. Early this spring, after the town hall meeting, Pivot Energy contracted me to remove the weeds, level the ground, and plant Smooth Brome grass on the property. This property has never looked better since I have been its adjacent neighbor. Keep in mind, Pivot Energy spent their money up front, without knowing if this project would ever come to fruition. I think this speaks to the character and integrity of Pivot Energy as a company. If all the moving parts come together with this project, I believe that this site will be something Weld County, Pivot Energy, and our neighbors can be very proud of as an example of how industry, farming, and rural residents can come together to reach a suitable goal for everyone. Thanks for your time and all you do for Weld County! Respectfully, Brad Moos 22639 WCR 70 Eaton, CO 80615. CC: publiccomment@weld.gov ctb@weld.gov 1 Hello
