The applicant has proposed a well as the source of adequate water for Lots. Property owners are advised that the quantity of water available for usage may be limited to specific uses, i.e., "Domestic Use Only," etc. Because each situation is unique, the Department of Planning Services encourages property owners to contact the Office of the State Engineer, Division of Water Resources (1313 Sherman Street, Room 818, Denver. Colorado 80203. Phone 303-866-3581), to discuss each individual situation. 3. Topographic or physical features of the proposed Lots, such as ravines, ditches, streams etc. may limit the area available for a new or replacement septic system. Prior to recording the plat the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment recommends that the applicant review the Weld County Code pertaining to septic systems to assure that any installed septic system will comply with all setback requirements found in the Code. In the event the proposed lot is not of sufficient size to allow the installation of a septic system the lot may need to be enlarged. 4. Prior to recording the plat: A. The applicant shall submit a sketch of the existing septic system in relation to the proposed lot line to the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment.

If the applicant chooses to place a larger culvert please contact the Weld County Department of Public Works to adequately size the culvert. E. County Road 16 is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a collector road, which requires 80 feet of right-of-way at full build out. There is presently 60 feet of right-of-way. An additional 10 feet shall be delineated on the plat as future County Road 16 right-of-way. All setbacks shall be measured from the edge of future right-of-way.

(Ordinance 2011-2) 11) Effective April 25, 2011, Building permits issued on the subject site will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County Facility Fee and the Drainage Impact Fee. (Ordinance 2011-2) 12) WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM' Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields. including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-102. C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water. Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas. in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs. puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. 7. The applicant shall submit two (2) paper copies of the plat for preliminary approval to the Weld County Department of Planning Services. Upon approval of the paper copies the applicant shall submit a Mylar plat along with all other documentation required as conditions of approval. The Mylar plat shall be recorded in the office of the Weld County Clerk and Recorder by Department of Planning Services' Staff. The plat shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 24-8-60 of the Weld County Code. The Mylar plat and additional requirements shall be submitted within sixty (60) days from the date the Administrative Review was signed. The applicant shall be responsible for paying the recording fee. 8. In accordance with Weld County Code Ordinance 2005-7 approved June 1, 2005, should the plat not be recorded within the required sixty (60) days from the date the Administrative Review was signed a $50.00 recording continuance charge may be added for each additional 3 month period. 9. The Department of Planning Services respectfully requests the surveyor provide a digital copy of this Recorded Exemption. Acceptable CAD formats are .dwg, .dxf. and .dgn (Microstation); acceptable GIS formats are ArcView shapefiles, ArcInfo Coverages and Arclnfo Export files format type is .e00. The preferred format for Images is ,tif (Group 4). (Group 6 is not acceptable). This digital file may be sent to dhuerterl0ico.weld.co.us 10. The Weld County Department of Planning Staffs approval of this Recorded Exemption Application is based on satisfying the Conditions of Approval. Should an applicant be unwilling or unable to meet any one of these conditions within 60 days of approval, then this case will be forwarded to the Weld County Board of County Commissioners with a staff recommendation for denial.
