Major Amendment to a Use by Special Review USR20-0011- Solar Energy Facility
Starlily Solar, LLC
Parcel ID No. 1211120200018
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STATEMENT
Starlily Solar, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, is pleased to present our application for a
Use by Special Review for a Solar Energy Facility ("SEF") on property owned by Scott D Peterson
and located on Parcel ID No. 121110200018 in the W2/NW/4 of Section 10, Township 3 North, Range
66 West of the 6th P.M. in Weld County, CO. Starlily Solar, LLC is proposing a 5,000 kW AC (5,870
kW DC) SEF which will occupy approximately 50 acres on the W/2NW/4 of the roughly 81 acre
parcel.
The current zoning on the parcel is Agricultural (A), however the parcel currently sits as vacant
rangeland ground.
This 5,000 kW -AC project will use standard photovoltaic technologies that have been proven safe and
effective through deployment across the United States in thousands of utility or commercial -scale
solar developments. The solar panels are mounted to single -axis tracking arrays, which sit parallel to
the ground and follow the path of the sun across the sky. The panels face east in the morning, lay flat
at noon, and face west in the evening. The tracking arrays produce DC current, which is converted
into AC current by inverters for synchronization and delivery of energy into the utility's distribution grid
at a utility transformer. The modules utilize a non -reflective glass which eliminates glare concerns and
all electrical cables on the improved area will be buried, except for the direct current string wires that
connect between solar collectors, direct current collection circuits between rows of solar arrays that
are no more than four (4) feet above grade crossings, substations, switch yards, and circuits voltages
greater than 34.5 kilovolts (where necessary.) There will be no permanent employees on site during
operation, and maintenance visits are expected to occur quarterly on average.
The appearance of the solar arrays is uniform and symmetrical. Solar panels will not exceed ten (10)
feet in height above the grade, at maximum tilt. The facility will be constructed in accordance with IBC
2021 and NEC 2020 and will be surrounded by an 8' high game fence made of 4' X 4" reinforced
mesh. All setbacks are in accordance with the development standards and are identified on T.100 of
the Sketch Plan. Fence details are on page C.102 of the Sketch Plan. The adjacent parcel
landowners sharing borders with the project parcel will also be notified. Please see the enclosed
Buffer Report and an example Neighboring Landowner Notice Letter for details.
Starlily Solar, LLC will use the historical access for this SEF off Weld County Road 36 and will work
with Weld County Planning Department to update the Access Permit from Oil and Gas to Commercial
use under Starlily Solar, LLC. This access road has historically been used by an Oil and Gas
Operator. Once the operator has completed their decommissioning of the well head and production
facility, the road will then be used for commercial purposes following the approval of the proposed
SEF. The entrance to the site will include a 25' wide all-weather access driveway with an acceptable
alternative to a hammerhead turnaround.
This project site has no areas of extreme sloping and will not require any grading work. This SEF will
abide by all dust mitigation standards laid out by the County, as described in our Dust Mitigation Plan.
This soil of the project area is classified as Type B and may require the addition of a detention pond
onsite to aid in runoff management. The project is not located within any FEMA designated Special

Flood Hazard Areas. The Stormwater Management shall be addressed via the attached Surface
Drainage Analysis. Conceptual design details can be found in the enclosed Sketch Plan.
The operational life of an SEF is generally between 20-40 years. The SEF has an initial 20 -year
contract with Public Service Company of Colorado (Xcel) to sell power into the Xcel Electric grid, and
the major equipment components have warranty options up to 30 years, with a useful life of 35-40
years. Upon decommissioning, Starlily Solar, LLC will entirely remove all SEF components (fencing,
steel racking, cabling, solar panels, and associated interconnection equipment) and undertake
measures to restore the land to its original state, as addressed in the attached Decommissioning
Plan.
Starlily Solar, LLC will obtain all required permits and approvals, including utility interconnection
agreements, prior to commencing construction. The project engineers and general contractor will be
made up of local experienced individuals licensed in Colorado, who will ensure that all required codes
and standards are followed throughout the design and construction. The project will comply with all
applicable provisions in the Weld County Code. Starlily Solar, LLC looks forward to working with Weld
County to successfully complete this proposed development and bring the benefits of community
solar energy to the County.

Re: USR Permitting Application for a Starlily Solar, LLC
Dear Planner,
I'm writing to you todayconcerning the SEFs proposed Starlily Solar, LLC for Weld County Parcel
121110200018. I am the owner of this parcel and wish to express my support for this project.
My family has been residents of Weld County since 1995's, and I, along with my family, have had
some dryland farming on this land and also used this land for grazing cattle (livestock production). I
have elected to lease my land to Starlily Solar, LLC to house their Starlily solar project.
I am a third -generation wheat farmer and a second -generation Coloradoan, knowing this ground is
sandy and does not yield many crops, my choice to have solar on this propert,/ will be a huge help
financially to my family. I have been working with Starlily Solar, LLC since 2022 and I have
confidence in their ability to deliver a safe and effective solar array. They have worked diligently to
learn about the land, the challenges it presents, and the County requirements that they will need
to meet. I also have confidence in their ability to work well with, and honor the best interests of,
their landowners, such as myself. They will own and operate the solar array's for its entire lifecycle
and through decommissioning, which offers me peace of mind as the lessor of the land. I know
that Starlily Solar, LLC is invested in the projects and will have continued high standards for site
maintenance and land stewardship.
I look forward to the development of this project and the continued relationship between myself,
starliy Solar, LLC and the County. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Major Amendment to a Use by Special Review USR20-0011- Solar Energy Facility
Questionnaire for Starlily Solar, LLC
PID D 121110200018
1. Explain the proposed use and business name.
Starlily Solar, LLC proposes a new Solar Energy Facility (SEF) to be placed on Weld County PI D
121110200018, which has an existing USR permit: USR20-0011 on the property for an existing
SEF which has been constructed and is now operational. Starlily Solar, LLC's new proposed SEF
will have no correlation with the existing facility and will be built separately from the USR20-0011
Solar Facility. The new SEF will have a capacity of 5,000 kW AC and will cover approximately 50
acres on a portion of the W/2NW/4 of the parcel. This SEF is constructed through Xcel Energy's
Solar*Rewards Community Program. This program was implemented by the Colorado Public
Utilities Commission in 2010 and mandates that Xcel work with independent, third -party solar
developers to provide local energy production at the electric distribution level and provide
ratepayers with the option to choose their energy source. This program combats potential full
monopolization by Xcel in the generation and sale of energy to customers in Xcel territory.
Furthermore, in order to win an award for our Starlily solar project, Starlily Solar, LLC has to
compete against numerous other solar developers in a selective RFP process — a process which
ultimately yields the best prices and quality of work for consumers.
Starlily Solar, LLCs project will allow for a safe and well-timed addition of energy to the grid.
Distributed energy projects like this have the added benefit of strengthening the local electric grid
and creating a more resilient local electricity system. This project, and its relatively small footprint,
will complement Weld County's numerous other energy generation industries and County's place
as the energy capital of Colorado.
This project will allow consumers to have a choice in their energy supply. With the construction of
this project; Xcel customers in Weld County and all throughout the front range will have the ability
to decide if they would like to subscribe to a portion of the solar array's output, thereby giving
them 100% solar energy (an alternative to Xcel's one and only choice for consumers).
2. Explain the need for the proposed use.
The projects meet a multitude of needs in the community: The Landowner does not have water
rights for this parcel but does have a dryland crop on a portion of the parcel. Should this parcel
ever be considered for a more robust agricultural production, the landowner would be required to
find water from a different system, and either rent or purchase the water rights. The market rates
also make the purchase of water (were it to even become available) wholly uneconomical as costs
would far exceed any possible return on investment.
The addition of an SEF provides the opportunity for a long-term, predictable income stream while
simultaneously fortifying the grid in Weld County. Rather than these parcels sitting as vacant
rangeland, the construction of an SEF can provide local jobs and a long-term asset that will create
energy at a competitive price to the benefit of Weld County residents.
Residents in Xcel territory have not traditionally had a choice in who their utility provider is and
where their energy comes from. Community solar solves this issue by providing ratepayers with
an opportunity for choice, and an option to choose locally generated electricity.

Weld County, and Colorado as a whole, is experiencing massive growth in electricity
consumption. More electricity generation is needed to meet this need. Local solar projects like this
help the state and county diversify its electricity sources and have local generation that result in a
more stable and resilient grid. Weld County has long been the energy capital of Colorado and
adding solar to the County will further diversify the County's energy mix and further its role as an
energy leader in Colorado.
Weld County's Comprehensive plan specifically calls out a goal of supporting "responsible energy
and mineral development"This project meets the definition of responsible (see answer to
question 21) .
3. Describe the current and previous use of the land.
The current and previous land use is dryland agriculture.
4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences.
There are three residences withing 500 feet of the proposed SEF. The first one is the landowner's
residence is within 500 feet to the NW of the SEF. The second one is to the SW of the SEF
(parcel # 121109100013) and the third one is to the NE of the SEF (parcel # 121110200016), the
residents will be informed of this project. Starlily Solar, LLC will utilize the fencing/screening
system from the neighbors around this project.
5. Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is compatible
with them.
The parcels all around this project parcel all have existing and former oil and gas operations.
The parcels to the west of CR31(121109100013, 121109100022 & 121109100023), north of
CR36 (121103400010, 121103300004 & 121103300005) and to the east of the project parcel
(121110200016 & 121110200020) are all rangeland with no farming operations on them. The
parcel to the NW is a substation (121104000018) and the parcel to the south is an irrigated field
(121110000010).
From a health and safety perspective, solar is a compatible use for the surrounding lands. It
produces no airborne or soil -leaching contaminants, making it safe for the nearby crops and any
other agricultural production taking place. This addition will pose no health or safety threat to
these uses. Solar is also one of the few uses for land that also contains active or abandoned oil
and gas infrastructure. SEFs are not inhabited, and oil and gas contamination pose no threat to
the solar array. Solar is a safe and non -disruptive use for this parcel; it is primed to be placed
amidst an area with various uses.
6. Describe the hours and days of operation (i.e., Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.).
Once construction is complete, the SEF will continuously operate 24/7, but only producing power
during daylight hours. The proposed SEF will use single -axis trackers, which will angle the solar
modules accordingly as the sun shifts in the sky. These trackers allow for maximized energy
production. While the array will be running all day, it will create no disturbances. Solar arrays are
nearly silent and produce no smoke, smog, vapors, or dust. Construction will run during normal
business hours for the duration of about 3 months.

7. Describe the number of employees including full-time, part-time and contractors. If shift
work is proposed, detail number of employees, schedule and duration of shifts.
During construction: Construction during daytime hours will range from 7 to 14 during the early
mobilization and site preparation stage with site construction workers peaking at 50 to 60 workers
midway through the project and reducing back down to 7 and 14 workers during the final
commissioning and testing stage.
Once operational: The SEF will have a maintenance crew visit once quarterly (or as needed if
damage occurs due to weather), otherwise the SEF will be unmanned.
8. Describe the maximum number of users, patrons, members, buyers or other visitors that
the site will accommodate at any one time.
N/A. This proposed use will be for energy production only and will not host patrons, etc.
9. List the types and maximum numbers of animals to be on the site at any one time (for
dairies, livestock, confinement operations, kennels, etc.).
Starlily Solar, LLC values the prominence of agriculture in Weld County, and we often make
efforts to support the industry when constructing SEFs. One practice that we offer at our SEF is
working with a local sheep rancher (with whom we have a pre-existing partnership), offering our
site as grazing land for his sheep. This allows for the SEF site's vegetation to be maintained, while
benefiting a local rancher (rather than employing mechanical mowers). We will have to complete a
more thorough analysis of the current vegetation of the area to determine if there is enough
growth for the sheep.
Should we move forward with sheep grazing, there will be approximately 60 sheep present onsite.
The site will be fully fenced in, containing the sheep, and the rancher will have access to the site
whenever needed. The sheep will visit for a few weeks at a time, as frequently as needed onsite.
10. List the types and number of operating and processing equipment.
There will be an estimated total of 8,449 695w monocrystalline modules, 125kVA inverters, and
rows of single -axis trackers. The system consists of string level DC to AC conversion inverters,
main equipment pads with AC Recombiners, switchgear and MV step up transformers that
connect to Xcel's grid.
11. List the types, number and uses of the existing and proposed structures.
There will be no structures associated with the proposed solar facility other than the solar array
itself, which will be used for energy generation.
12. Describe the size of any stockpile, storage or waste areas.
During the construction phase, there will be materials and equipment that may need a laydown
yard located on the interior of the facility, see site sheet 9 of the USR plan (laydown area). When
the construction is completed, there will be in place a metal conex container for storing spare
modules and other spare parts.
13. Describe the method and time schedule of removal or disposal of debris, junk and other
wastes associated with the proposed use.
During the construction phase, waste will be stored in refuge dumpsters, which will be emptied on
a regular basis or as needed. Once the facility is operational, there will be no waste or refuge
produced from the solar operation.

15. Describe the proposed and existing lot surface type and the square footage of each type
(i.e. asphalt, gravel, landscaping, dirt, grass, buildings).
The subject area (23.6 acres) is currently agricultural land and will need to be re -seeded within the
construction area. Following the completion of the construction for each phase, disturbed areas
within the limits of construction, such as roadcuts, utility trenches, and other areas where
vegetation has been removed, altered, or eliminated, will be reseeded with native seed mix.
There will be approximately 17,100 square feet of gravel area including the gravel access, gravel
laydown, and the hammerhead turnaround. There will be one (1) concrete transformer pad of
approximately 1600 square feet.
16. How many parking spaces are proposed? How many handicap -accessible parking spaces
are proposed?
There will be two (2) temporary internal parking spaces for vehicles servicing the facility. There
will be no ADA parking spaces, as this is not a facility for general public use.
17. Describe the existing and proposed fencing and screening for the site including all parking
and outdoor storage areas.
To comply with the National Electric Code, there will be an 8' tall game fence installed around the
entire perimeter of the site. The fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" welded rod material.
The two (2) internal parking spaces on the site plan are temporary. There will be no outdoor
storage associated with this proposed solar facility.
18. Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site.
The entire area of the parcel is a mixture of lower maintenance dryland crop, dependent on what
the farmer plants each year. Once the construction phase is completed, the affected area within
the solar facility fence will be seeded with a native seed mixture. A fence will be installed on a
portion of the east and west side of the facility to screen the SEF from nearby neighbors as
fencing requires minimal maintenance and no additional water.
19. Describe reclamation procedures to be employed as stages of the operation are phased
out or upon cessation of the Use by Special Review activity.
Once the site is no longer used for the proposed solar facility, the panels, racking,
cabling, inverters, and all associated equipment will be removed from the site and recycled and/or
disposed of in a responsible manner. The site will be returned to the condition it was in prior to the
solar facility being constructed with the exception of certain site improvements desired by the
landowner or system design such as re -grading, leveling, vegetation, and/or soil improvements.
Solar leaves behind no ground contamination, so there will be no hazardous elements left behind
on the land.

20. Describe the proposed fire protection measures.
The subject property is within the Platteville-Gilcrest Fire Protection District. Fire access within the
facility will be via a 20' -wide gravel driveway, with a hammerhead or an acceptable hammerhead
alternative turnaround at the end of the drive. Grasses within the solar facility will be mowed as
needed, to help prevent the spread of range fires. Maintenance will be performed regularly each
quarter, as well as on an as -needed basis, to monitor and maintain the electrical wiring of the
system.
21. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per
Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code.
The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses goals and objectives for natural resources
(Weld County Code, Chapter 22, Sec.22-2-60). The proposed use of the subject property as a
solar power generation facility is consistent with the goals and policies of this section.
Section B states one goal of Weld County's is "Support responsible energy and mineral
development." The County outlines the steps for this goal, and these following steps, in particular,
are supported by the SEF:
"1. Ensure that surface development reasonably accommodates mineral extraction."
Starlily Solar, LLC's SEFs work well when located near oil and gas activity as solar does not
have to follow the same health and safety restrictions that inhabited buildings do.
"3. Require that energy and mineral resource development conserve the land and minimize
the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses."
The standard lifetime of an SEF is 20-40 years. At the end of its life, our SEF will be fully
decommissioned, and the land that it stands atop will be fully restored. Additionally, this
project should allow the land to go fallow for many years, improving the soil conditions for
possible future agricultural use, should the landowner decide to change this parcel into an
agriculture production instead of rangeland. Solar produces no contamination or noise
pollution and will pose no threat to surrounding land uses.
"5. Energy development facilities should preserve agricultural areas and enhance the rural
landscape."
When decommissioned, the SEF will leave behind uncontaminated agricultural lands with
renewed soil. During its lifetime, the solar array will have native vegetation growing beneath it,
contributing to Weld County's vegetative health and supporting local pollinator communities.
22. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the zone district in which it is
located. (Intent statements can be found at the beginning of each zone district section in
Article III of Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code.)
'Agriculture in the COUNTY is considered a valuable resource which must be protected from
adverse impacts resulting from uncontrolled and undirected business, industrial and residential
land USES. The A (Agricultural) Zone District was established to maintain and promote agriculture
as an essential feature of the COUNTY. The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide
areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural
production, and for areas for natural resource extraction and energy development, without the
interference of other, incompatible land USES."
The subject property is zoned Agricultural (A). Solar Facilities are permitted as a Use by Special

Review in the Agricultural zone district. The Use by Special Review process allows for adequate
review by the Planning staff, Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners, to
ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Additionally, citizens are afforded adequate
opportunities to express their concerns in the public hearing setting before any solar facility can be
constructed on agriculturally- zoned land. Within the stated intent of the "Agricultural" Zone District
is the specific reference to "natural resource extraction" and "energy development". This proposed
solar power generation plant is in compliance with the intent of the "Agricultural" Zone District.
Solar facilities allow farmers and ranchers another use for their land and a viable stream of
income beyond traditional farming and ranching uses. The SEF does not permanently stand on
the land, or contaminate it, allowing for the landowner should they decide to use this land for
agricultural purposes after the 20-40 year SEF lifecycle.
23. Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding
area or adopted master plans of affected municipalities.
The subject parcel does not fall within any Intergovernmental Agreement Boundaries and
therefore not impactful to the master plans of any municipalities in Weld County.
Additionally, the proposed solar facility will be compatible with the remainder of the surrounding
Area, which remains unincorporated. Much of the surrounding area is now, and will probably
remain, agricultural in nature. In addition, oil/gas production will likely continue in the surrounding
area. Solar development is very compatible with farming and ranching uses and oil/gas
development. Renewable projects provide farmers and ranchers a viable alternate use to
traditional farming and ranching uses on their land. Since there are no permanent structures being
built as part of this proposal, the land can be returned to its agricultural use once the economic
viability of the solar facility has ended.
24. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
This development will positively impact the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the
surrounding area and County. The SEF will create no airborne or ground contaminants, making it
nonhazardous for residents near and far. The SEF is also nearly silent when operating, thus will
not contribute to any noise pollution. The SEF will produce local electricity without adding any
pollution to the air. The SEF will be fully fenced in with a security fence, making it inaccessible for
trespassers and preventing potential hazardous situations.
Starlily Solar, LLC will build the SEF according to both building codes and Xcel's standards and
will pose no threat to the health and viability of the electric grid, locally or throughout the front
range. The addition of solar energy to the grid will further diversify the energy mix supplied by
Xcel, preventing dependence on any one source of fuel and eliminating the risks associated. The
SEF will also provide Weld County residents (who are Xcel customers) with the opportunity to
choose their energy source and energy provide, increasing consumer choices and economic
freedom.
25. Describe any irrigation features. If the proposed use is to be located in the A (Agricultural)
Zone District, explain your efforts to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational
decision for the proposed use.
While this land is zoned for agriculture, it should not be considered as prime farmland. The Weld
County Code defines prime and non -prime farmland as follows:
"FARMLAND - WELD COUNTY NONPRIME: NONPRIME FARMLAND is low capability land that

is not considered important land for food production. It may be composed of poorer soils prone to
erosion or may have topographical limitations such as slopes or gullies."
"FARMLAND - WELD COUNTY PRIME: The availability of a consistent supply of quality water
must exist in order to have PRIME FARMLANDS. PRIME and PRIME if irrigated lands fall into
upper capability classes as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service and Colorado
State University Cooperative Extension Service and should be protected equally if irrigation water
is available and they are located within a reasonable distance of water delivery STRUCTURES."
For the following reason, Starlily Solar, LLC believes this parcel falls into the nonprime farmland
category:
1. This parcel should be considered Non -Prime Farmland as there are no water rights to farm
on the lands and dryland crops do not yield as much as an irrigated field does.
26. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI of Chapter 23 if the
proposal is located within any Overlay Zoning District (Airport, Geologic Hazard, or
Historic Townsites Overlay Districts) or a Special Flood Hazard Area identified by maps
officially adopted by the County.
This location does not fall within any of the zoning districts.
27. Detail known State or Federal permits required for your proposed use(s) and the status of
each permit. Provide a copy of any application or permit.
Starlily Solar, LLC will need to apply for the following permits to complete this SEF:

Dear Planning Commission:
Starlily Solar, LLC ("Starlily") is requesting a Major Amendment to the existing USR20-0011 on Mr. Scott
Peterson's property. The original USR was obtained by Pivot Solar 8 LLC (the "PS 8 Project"), by the
original owner Pivot Energy, which was acquired by Nautilus US Power Holdco, LLC ("Nautilus") and the
PS 8 Project remains under Nautilus' care and control. Starlily is proposing a separate Solar Energy
Facility ("SEF") on Mr. Peterson's property, these will be two separate SEF's, owned by separate
companies with no correlation. Nautilus has signed this acknowledgement consenting to Starlily's pursuit
of this Major Amendment to the USR20-0011 for a second SEE

ALTERNATIVES STATEMENT
Starlily Solar, LLC selected this site after thoughtful consideration of the Weld County development
standards and Xcel Solar Rewards Community Program requirements.
Starlily Solar, LLC is leasing this land from Scott D Peterson. This project is in the landowner's best
interest, as noted in his letter attached within this application. Mr. Peterson, owner of the parcel,
currently has this land as dryland crop ground and does not own any water rights.
This is also a major amendment to an existing USR: USR20-0011 which is for an existing SEF;
original owner was Pivot Energy and is now owned by Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC. We have obtained
an acknowledgment letter from Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC giving authorization to amend this USR for
the new proposed SEF. Starlily's proposed SEF is not correlated with Nautilus' existing SEF as these
are two separate companies and two separate facilities.
Additionally, if the landowner wanted to have an irrigated crop, they would need to rent the water
which creates immense risk and vulnerability for the landowner, especially in regard to their income.
Leasing the land will allow the landowner to have more sustainability with the payments generated
from this lease that will provide the landowner with diverse source of income. In contrast to
agricultural earnings, the payments generated by the solar lease will be regular, fixed payments, and
will increase annually without fail.
Solar is ultimately one of the best uses that the landowner could pursue in this area. Solar produces
no pollutants or contaminants, making it safe for the surrounding mixed uses. Additionally, solar
produces no noise pollution, no heavy traffic, and the system will be screened from the public, and
therefore this use will not cause any nuisances. The project is not located within a residential
neighborhood. Solar is not a permanent use either and the land will be returned to its current state
after the system is retired.
Even with solar present onsite, this project will still benefit the agricultural community of Weld County
by serving as a grazing field for local sheep ranchers. Starlily Solar, LLC is solely responsible for the
management of all vegetation within the permitted area. Rather than mowing, should the landowner
and Starlily Solar, LLC decide to, we will work in partnership with a Weld County rancher, with whom
we have a pre-existing relationship. The rancher's sheep will graze on the vegetation, providing his
flock with a free food source while keeping the site pristine. During operations the land will lie fallow
allowing time for soil to replenish nutrients and minerals. When the solar facility is removed the project
area can be returned to farming if the landowner so wishes to do so.
1724 Gilpin Street, Denver, CO 80218 9 info@mysunshare.com • 800.793.0786 • MYSSUNSHARE.COM
This use doesn't conflict with existing land use and is done with an eye toward improving future land
use. Starlily Solar, LLC develops solar facilities on land that produce the highest and best use and
intends to leave the land in a better place than when the project began.
As presented in this application, this project is in compliance with the Weld County is developed with a
focus on good stewardship of the land and a neighborly spirit.

2. Daily Project -related truck traffic is not expected to impact AM and PM peak traffic periods.
The construction of the Project should not negatively impact the transportation pattern in
the area.
3. As proposed, the solar facility installation (material/equipment delivery approximately 1 -
week, solar facility installation approximately 3 months and approximately once per month
for solar facility operations) is not anticipated to create adverse traffic -related impacts in
the area or on Weld County roads. Based on anticipated vehicle type and weight (from
Table 1), the Project is not anticipated to degrade/damage Weld County roads.
4. There are no anticipated improvements required to any Weld County roads in order to
serve the Project, since after the construction period, the facility is unmanned. Starlily
Solar LLC agrees to mitigate construction traffic impacts to the area surrounding the
proposed Solar Energy Facility.

COMMUNITY SOI.. A Ft
Date Prepared: December 12, 2023
1.0 Overview
As a condition of approval for the Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special
Review (USR) permit, Weld County required that Starlily Solar, LLC prepare a
Decommissioning/ Reclamation Plan for the solar facility, that is to be reviewed and
approved by the Weld County Department of Planning Services. The intent of this
Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan is to provide a comprehensive plan for removal
of the solar facility after its useful life and/or the termination of power generation
operations; and to return the subject property to conditions that existed prior to the solar
facility's construction.
The solar power generation facility has an estimated useful life of 30 years or more, with
an opportunity for a life of 50 years or more with equipment replacement and repowering.
At the end of the useful life of the facility, Starlily Solar, LLC will cease power generation,
decommission the facility, and remove the components of the facility from the subject
property. The site will be reclaimed and returned to the agricultural use that existed prior
to the facility being constructed (or if the landowner requests to keep the land and access
roads as is).
This Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan is subject to refinement should future best
practices or alternate methods be developed by the solar industry, during the life of this
facility. Starlily Solar, LLC will follow solar industry standards and best management
practices (BMPs) that exist at the time of decommissioning and reclamation of the site.
1.1 Procedures for Decommissioning the Solar Facility
After Useful Life & Termination of Power Generation
The solar facility consists of numerous recyclable materials, including glass,
semiconductor material, steel, aluminum, copper, and plastics. When the facility reaches
the end of its operational life, the component parts can be dismantled, and for the most
part, salvaged or recycled at properly licensed facilities.
Some site features, such as internal roads, driveways, drainage features/improvements,
and electrical interconnections may remain on the site, depending upon the anticipated
future use of the property. All such improvements, that are scheduled to remain after the
decommissioning of the site, will be approved by the Weld County Department of Planning
Services.
The following steps will be followed in the decommissioning of the solar facility:
■ Approximately one year prior to the planned decommissioning of the facility, Starlily
Solar, LLC will schedule a pre -closure meeting with the Weld County Department
of Planning Services to discuss the process for the site decommissioning and
restoration. The final decommissioning details will be developed through
consultation with the Weld County Department of Planning Services and other
departments and agencies that have jurisdiction over activities in the
decommissioning process. Any required permits will be obtained prior to
implementation of the Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan.
■ Appropriate temporary (construction -related) erosion and sedimentation controlled
BMPs will be applied during the decommissioning phase of the project. The BMPs
will be inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper functionality.
■ Per 23-4-1030.4b: Effectively, the decommissioning of the solar facilities proceeds
in reverse order of the installation including all installed equipment will be removed
at least three (3) feet below grade:
1. A site -specific health and safety plan shall be developed, prior to
beginning decommissioning activities, which incorporates the specific
sequence and procedures to be followed.
2. Coordination with local departments and agencies to develop route plans
and obtain necessary permits for the transportation of materials and
equipment to and from the site.
3. The solar facility shall be disconnected from the utility grid. This process
will be coordinated with Xcel Energy.
4. PV modules shall be disconnected, collected, and transported to a
properly licensed recycling facility.
5. Above ground and underground electrical interconnection and distribution
cabling shall be removed and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved
recycling facility.
6. The aluminum racking that supports the PV modules shall be removed
and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility.
7. PV module support steel and support posts shall be removed and
salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility.
8. Electrical and electronic devices, including transformers, semiconductors
materials, inverters, and batteries, shall be removed and salvaged or
recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility.
9. Concrete foundations shall be removed and will be recycled off -site at an
approved concrete recycling facility.
10. Fencing shall be removed and will be recycled off -site at an approved
recycling facility.
11. The site will be restored to its original condition (or if the landowner requests
to keep the land and access roads as is), including any necessary sculpting
of soils to match existing natural contours and the re -seeding of native
grasses. Any soil that had been re -located for construction purposes will
be redistributed on the site or used for landscaping purposes. Soils will
be compacted for those areas where foundations or piers have been
removed.
1.2 Equipment to be Used for the Decommissioning of the
Solar Facility
The decommissioning of the solar facility will be undertaken using traditional heavy
construction equipment, including front-end loaders, bull dozers, cranes, excavators
(track- mounted and rubber -tired), water tankers, trucks, and pick-ups. Semi -trucks will
be used to transport materials to off -site salvage or recycle centers.
1.3 Dust Mitigation During the Decommissioning Phase
Water tankers will be used to help control dust while the decommissioning activities are

COMMUNITY S O L A R
Date Prepared: December 12, 2023
1.0 Overview
As a condition of approval for the Site -Specific Development Plan and Use By Special
Review, Weld County required that Starlily Solar, LLC prepare a Dust and Weed Mitigation
Plan for the solar facility, that is to be reviewed and approved by the Weld County
Department of Planning Services. The intent of this Dust and Weed Mitigation Plan is to
provide a comprehensive plan for control of dust, noxious weeds, and any drainage issues
that could cause erosion from the solar facility.
1.1 Dust Mitigation During the Construction Phase
Water tankers will be used to help control dust while the construction activities are occurring
on the site. During the construction of the facility, Starlily Solar, LLC will exercise Best
Management Practices (BMPs) to limit fugitive dust from being airborne and traveling
beyond the property lines. Dust control efforts will be monitored by the site foreman on a
regular basis to ensure fugitive dust is adequately controlled. Water spray will be applied, as
needed, to unpaved areas during periods of dry weather. Care will be taken not to over -
apply water and create mud. Vehicle tracking devices will be installed at truck exit drives,
per the requirements of Weld County. Vehicles operating on the site during the construction
phase will limit their speed to 15 mph or less, to minimize dust emissions.
1.2 Noxious Weed Management
The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) and Weld County both require landowners
to prevent the spread of State Listed Noxious Weeds. Construction activities on the site
have the potential to introduce new noxious weed species to the site or spread existing
species on to or off the site. This noxious weed management program was developed to
prevent further spread of noxious weeds. Starlily Solar, LLC will comply with CDA and Weld
County regulations through implementation of this plan. Periodic reviews and updates to
this plan will be completed as necessary to keep it current with noxious weed control issues.
This plan will be implemented throughout the life of the solar facility.
Appropriate management actions will be implemented whenever noxious weed species are
observed growing within the project area. The goals of weed management are to:
1. Identify and manage noxious weeds within and immediately adjacent to the
project areas to be disturbed and after the area has been reclaimed.
2. Conduct pre-treatment and post -treatment evaluations and continue or modify
treatment measures as necessary.
3. Minimize the potential for transportation and importation of noxious weed species.
4. Educate field personnel in order to encourage compliance with weed management
program goals and assist with identification and control efforts.
To prevent or minimize the infestation and spread periodic inspections of the project area
during the beginning, middle, and end of the growing season will evaluate presence or
absence, degree of invasion, and the response of previous treatments. Starlily Solar, LLC's
operational staff will conduct regular site inspections and ensure implementation of this
plan. Specific treatment methodologies and timetables will be developed based on species
of concern, location and extent of the infestation(s), and other pertinent factors.
1.2 (a) Noxious Weed Prevention
Noxious weeds are spread through dispersal of seed and/or transport of plant propagules
(i.e., spores, seeds, roots, etc.). The most effective way to control noxious weeds is to
prevent their introduction into the site in the first place. A combination of methods and
practices will be employed to prevent the introduction of weed species and their
regeneration within the project area.
The following methods and practices may be employed, either singly or in combination, to
prevent the introduction of weeds into the solar site:
1. A thorough cleaning of equipment will be conducted before entering the project
area to prevent the introduction of seed and plant propagules from other sites.
2. Seed mixtures used for revegetation or temporary site stabilization will be free of
noxious weeds.
3. Hay, straw, and/or other materials used for mulch or other purposes will be
certified weed free.
4. A periodic inspection will be conducted to identify any new weed infestations that
may have occurred. Any new infestations will be scheduled for management before
they become well established and/or spread.
5. Communication and coordination with adjacent landowners whose property is
infested with noxious weeds that may threaten the site should occur. Establishing
partnerships for weed management within the local area is essential for successful
long-term weed management.
6. Noxious and pest weed infestations that threaten natural and reclaimed areas will
be treated with accepted Integrated Weed Management (IWM) methods. These
methods are further discussed below.
1.2(b) Integrated Weed Management (IWM)
An Integrated Weed Management approach will be implemented for the treatment of
noxious weeds within the project area. An IWM approach enables selection of one or more
weed management methods based on site specific environmental conditions and control
needs. The following weed management methods will be considered for the project area:
1. Cultural — Planting native or desirable plant species for site colonization and
promoting healthy vegetation communities in reclaimed areas. Prevent unnecessary
disturbance through precise planning of construction projects and other activities.
Prompt revegetation of disturbed areas.
2. Mechanical — Mowing, pulling, disking, and plowing may be used on weedy
species for which these treatments are effective.
3. Biological — Introduction of insects or other biologic agents which are known to
inhibit or prevent reproduction of noxious weed species. If biological agents are
employed, control methods will be coordinated with the Colorado Department of
Agricultural Insectary in Palisade, Colorado.
4. Chemical — Application of appropriate herbicides by a licensed applicator. All
herbicides will be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's label and in
accordance with Colorado laws.
In some cases, only one control method may be warranted, while in other cases a
combination of control methods may be appropriate. Control methods selected will be
dependent upon species of concern, and the location and extent of the infestation.
The use of IWM methods will protect pollinators, reduce hazards to wildlife, reduce the
possibility of herbicide resistance, and minimize persistence and mobility of herbicides in
the soil. Weed control methods and practices will be applied in a manner that conforms to
applicable federal, state, and local laws.
1.2(b)1 - Cultural Control
Germination and establishment of noxious weeds can be reduced by following accepted
revegetation and vegetation management techniques that favor the growth of desirable
plants. These include prompt seeding and revegetation of disturbed areas with appropriate
seed mixes, maintaining optimum fertility and moisture levels, planting at optimum density
of pure live seed, minimizing use of fertilizers, and selecting suitable species for
revegetation. Minimizing areas of disturbance and exposed soil prevents opportunities for
aggressive species to establish.
A revegetation plan has been developed for the site that utilizes native species that are
well- adapted to the site. Seeding native species in conjunction with other management
practices will provide some level of competition with noxious weeds and minimize the
opportunity for new infestations to become established.
1.2 (b) 2 - Mechanical Control
Mechanical Control of noxious weeds can be an effective tool to physically disrupt noxious
weed growth and seed development. A combination of mechanical methods may be used
including tilling or disking, mowing, hand-held weed trimmers, mulching, hand -pulling,
hoeing, or livestock grazing. Mechanical weed control practices must be applied with correct
timing to maximize their effectiveness in preventing vegetation development or seed
production.
Annual weedy species may be readily controlled with mowing or physical removal.
Perennial species such as Dalmatian toadflax have extensive root systems. For such weed
species, mowing may only control seed production without seriously affecting the plant's
survival. Mowing after seed production has occurred may spread the plants. Disking or
tilling areas containing perennial noxious species may increase the area of infestation due
to root sprouting. In most cases, mechanical control methods used alone are not effective
against noxious weed species.
1.2 (b) 3 - Biological Control
Biological control of noxious weeds can be an effective tool to physically disrupt plant
growth and seed development. A combination of biological methods may be used including
introduction of insect weed predators and species -specific plant diseases. Biological weed
control methods and practices will be applied with appropriate timing to maximize their
effectiveness in preventing seed production. It must be noted that the use of biological
controls normally does not eradicate an infestation of weeds; rather they are capable of
reducing weed species vigor and reproduction. The Colorado Department of Agriculture's
Biological Pest Control Program has on -going biological control programs for several
noxious weed species. Note, the use of insect bio-controls typically require large
populations of the target weed to sustain the population of bio-control agents. Biological
controls should not be expected to eliminate the entire infestation of a noxious weed, but
instead to bring the infestation down to a more manageable level.
1.2 (b) 4 - Chemical Control
Chemical control of noxious and pest weeds can be an effective tool to disrupt plant growth
and seed development. Herbicides can kill targeted species, prevent development and/or
germination of noxious weed seed, can be used with minimal disturbance to soils, and in
some cases, can be selective to specific species or groups of plants. Herbicides must be
applied at the appropriate time to maximize their effectiveness in preventing seed
production, for disrupting plant establishment and growth, or achieving kill of noxious
species. To avoid development of resistance to a particular herbicide through repeated use
over prolonged periods of time, herbicides with varying modes of action to be used. Also,
herbicides will be applied according to manufacturer's label recommendations (i.e.,
application rate, method, and timing) to prevent development of plant resistance. Herbicide
selection will be based on weed emergence, timing of application, past applications, and
ground and weather conditions during the applications.
Successful IWM begins with an understanding of the target plant species and the
environment within which it grows. Next, the physiologic effects of an herbicide on plant
growth and development must be understood. Understanding a pesticide's chemical nature
is also important in minimizing impacts to non -target species, the applicator, endangered
species, and pollinators, as well as surface water runoff hazards and leaching into
groundwater. Every herbicide label contains information regarding environmental hazards.
This information will be evaluated for each herbicide considered for use at the site and
herbicides will be selected which pose minimal to no environmental hazards.
All pesticides will be handled with care and applied by qualified personnel. Properly
identifying the weed problem and the most effective chemical control method for use during
the plant growth cycle is critical to effective weed control. Equipment will be properly
calibrated before herbicides are applied and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) will be used. Empty containers will be disposed of promptly, safely and in accordance
with product labeling.
Herbicides vary in the amount of time after an application before it is safe to re-enter the
treated area without protective clothing and equipment. The site re-entry time is affected by
the rate of application, size of the area treated and the amount of time to be spent in the
field. For the safety of employees and contractors, the Restricted Entry Interval (REI) listed
on the herbicide's label will be followed. Appropriate herbicide application records will be
maintained as specified by the CDA.
1.2 (c) — Monitoring and Follow -Up
Even with effective weed management strategies, it often takes several seasons to
eradicate or bring weed populations to an acceptable level. With well -established
infestations, it is likely that a seed bank has developed in the soil capable of
producing new plants for many years. An infestation of weeds can easily re -invade
treated areas in one growing season if control and treatment activities are
prematurely curtailed. Weed management efforts should be carried out over an
adequate number of growing seasons to realize effective weed management within
the target area.
As with all weed management, this multi -season effort is best served by effective
documentation of control efforts and continued vigilance in successive seasons of
management. Information can be used to modify treatment priorities and weed
management strategies over time. Vigilance is required against new infestations that may
be moving into the site. These new sources of infestation may be worked into prevention
and management plans as necessary. This weed management plan will be modified over
time as site conditions change. Weed management strategies and priorities can be modified
as weed infestations change in response to continued control efforts.
1.3 — Drainage and Erosion Control
Installation of the solar facility will not alter existing drainage patterns or flow rates on the
site and runoff water quality will not be impacted by the solar facility components.
Installation of water quality or detention facilities would require clearing, grubbing, grading,
and reseeding of a portion of the site and would likely increase the potential for erosion,
sediment transport and concentrated flow. Accordingly, water quality and detention are not
recommended for this project.
Appropriate temporary (construction -related) erosion and sedimentation control Best
Management Practices (BMPs) will be applied during the construction phase of the project.
The BMPs will be inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper functionality.

FENCING PLAN
Starlily Solar, LLC proposes an SEF that will encroach within Weld County's 500 -foot
setback from some residences. There are currently two adjacent parcels that have
residential buildings within 500 feet of the proposed SEF area and one is the
landowner's residence.
Starlily Solar, LLC proposes the following fencing plan for the purposes of visual
mitigation:
A six-foot tall, offset -picket composite privacy fence running a portion of the west and
north side of the proposed SEF site. The proposed fence is a composite fencing
rather than wood due to its increased durability. Additionally, the offset -picket design
will provide opaque screening while also allowing wind to pass through (and
therefore mitigating potential hazardous situations that could arise during high
winds). This fence is proposed in addition to the security fence running the entire
perimeter of the project. Please see the fencing plan and additional fence details on
the next page. Starlily Solar, LLC has used this exact method of screening for our
Gilcrest V SEF, also in Weld County, to great success.
