Chris Gathman, Planning Services, presented Case USR24-0012, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Mr. Gathman stated that the nearest residence is approximately 500 feet from
the boundary of the facility. He added that the applicants have stated that the nearest panels will be more
than 500 feet from the nearest residence and are also proposing screening.
Mr. Gathman stated that during the 24 -to -36 -month construction period there will be 300 to 450 workers at
the site. A security fence would be installed around the perimeter of the project.
Mr. Gathman noted that the Janus solar project is north of and adjacent to the Prospect solar project. A
Decommissioning and Reclamation Plan along with a cost estimate was submitted with the application
materials. An Emergency Response Plan was also submitted and the Office of Emergency Management
is currently reviewing this plan and requesting revisions. A siting analysis was performed in order to identify
potential adverse impacts. The siting analysis reviewed visual impacts, wildlife resources, sensitive soils,
and wetlands and waterways. Effects of dust and noise were also considered in separate reports. Visual
impacts will be addressed through the installation of landscape screens.
Mr. Gathman noted that property owners within 1320 feet were notified of the proposed project. Staff has
received four (4) letters of support and 11 letters of objection. The letters outline concerns about wildlife
and the environment, property values, aesthetics and solar farm stigma, water runoff, leaching of hazardous
materials, chemical spills, toxic material release, dust, noise, vibration, increase truck traffic during
construction, glint and glare, heat affects, electromagnetic interference, light pollution, conflicts with future
land use plans, change in quality of life and sustainability farming. The applicants did conduct public
outreach which included individual neighbor meetings and a neighborhood open house meeting. The Open
House meeting was held on July 5, 2023 where eight (8) surrounding property owners attended and
expressed their concerns with the application. Mr. Gathman said that the submittal to the County includes
mitigation actions for aesthetics, wildlife, soils, dust, noise and wetlands and waterways.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application along with conditions of
approval and development standards.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan. She added that an Air Pollutant Emissions Notice (APEN) will
be required and weed control would consist of mechanical methods, such as moving. Noise modeling was
not included in this application so this facility would comply with Section 14 of the Weld County Code and
would be regulated under the agricultural noise levels of 55 decibels during the day and night. Ms. Light
noted that if Staff would receive a noise complaint, then it would be measured at the boundary of the
property from which the complaint is issued.
Maggie McKenna, Chief Operating Manager Horus Energy and Vice President of Janus Solar, LLC, 405
Brunswick Avenue, Calgary, Canada. Jeremy Call, Logan Simpson Consultants, 123 Linden Street, Ft.
Collins, Colorado.
Ms. McKenna stated that they have two (2) projects before the Planning Commission today, one is for
Janus Solar and the other project is for Prospect Solar. These projects are directly adjacent to each other
and were developed at the same time including all of the field work, studies and the neighbor outreach. To
most people it will look like one bigger solar facility but the separate projects were driven largely by limited
capacity on the Tri-State system and the opportunity to deliver electricity to two different transmission
systems.
The Janus project is located on 700 acres of privately owned land generating up to 80 megawatts. The
connection to the grid is planned through the WAPA Sand Creek Switching Station. Components of the
facility will include solar panel arrays, inverters, project collector substation, access roads and a 20 MW
battery energy storage system.

Ms. McKenna said that the project avoids critical wildlife habitat, wetlands, floodplains, and natural
resources such as oil and gas. She added that across both projects there will be approximately $13 million
in county property tax revenue, additional fire protection district and school district investments, clean
renewable and local energy that promotes energy independence and resilience. It will also generate
support for local businesses during construction and additional spending within the county. There will also
be job creation throughout construction and will provide farming families with opportunities of income
diversification, long-term revenue and generational land planning.
Jeremy Call stated that the staff report recommends approval because they meet or exceed all of the
criteria. Mr. Call said that the project is located adjacent to two (2) existing transmission lines and planned
WAPA substation. He added that the facilities will be silent, with no light pollution, odors, or emissions.
The project preserves open land for future use and has minimal use of water, sewer and emergency
services. It also promotes landowner rights and allows opportunities for farm diversification, soil restoration
and predictable revenue.
Mr. Call said that they have provided a number of studies which are a part of the application. He added
that as neighbor feedback came to them, they addressed all of their concerns in a single consolidated letter.
He said that that they have received six (6) letters of support and provided them for the record. Mr. Call
stated that they recognize all energy production creates impacts, therefore, they have designed this project
that the low profile, dark appearance offers less impacts than any other forms of energy generation.
Additionally, they set the panels back at least 500 feet from every residence. Mr. Call said that if both
projects are built at the same time, they could be built in as little as 18 months.
Commissioner Biwer asked if the projects are similar why are there two separate projects and referred to
one of the parcels being located in both projects. He further asked if the overall impact was considered
versus two separate projects.
Mr. Call said that they presented the projects as one whole so while there are two concurrent cases applied
for side by side, all of the studies are presented anticipating both projects being built. Mr. Gathman added
that Staff had discovered that originally there were two (2) parcels where the Janus and Prospect USRs
overlapped. The applicant has, by deed, divided two of the parcels so that has been rectified.
Commissioner Hammond asked if both projects will be built concurrently. Mr. Call said if they are able to
do that then it would shorten the length of construction impacts; however, it will be determined by Tri-State
or WAPA's delivery schedule. He added that the traffic study assumes both projects will be constructed at
the same time.
Commissioner Hammond asked how many employees there will be while both projects are being
constructed. Mike McRoberts, Development Review, said according to the traffic letter provided by the
applicant it combines both projects and it shows 300 daily round trips for three (3) months. Mr. Hammond
noted that he drove down there and observed 1 vehicle while he waited and said that this will have an
impact on the landowners.
Commissioner Beemer asked how that traffic impact study correlate into the socio-economic report. She
added that the socio-economic report states that 1,997 full-time equivalent jobs will be created during
construction. Mr. Call said the socio-economic analysis uses a multiplier or a supply chain benefit by
purchasing such and such equipment locally that also creates jobs locally and spending at a hotel is then
used at other ways so it ripples through the economy. He added that the direct employees at the top of the
socio-economic report is the number of direct employees on site. Commissioner Beemer clarified that all
the contractors and supplies will be local. Mr. Call said it will be a significant boom to Roggen and
Keenesburg and other outlying towns. Many of the construction trades needed for solar construction exist
in Weld County, such as land grading, fence construction, reclamation, etc.
Commissioner Hammond asked how much power will benefit people in Weld County. Mr. Call said that
they are not sure of WAPA's federal system, but Tri-State is the whole sale provider for United Power and
3
PVREA which provides power to Weld County residents. Ms. McKenna added that WAPA doesn't make
that information readily available, but due to the cost of moving power it is likely that it doesn't go that far.
Commissioner Beemer referred to the fire department letter that referenced training for first responders for
the battery energy storage system units and asked the applicant to elaborate on what kind of training is
necessary and what would be provided and then also to elaborate on what kind of batteries those are and
the stability of those from a safety stand point. Mr. Call said that one of the participating landowners is the
president of the Southeast Weld Fire District and added that he will ensure that his team is trained and that
the facilities are safe. The battery system will be dispersed across the property so they are not all
consolidated in one location. Mr. Call identified seven (7) sites on a visual slide where the battery energy
storage systems and inverters will be. He added that by spacing them out it will reduce the risk of a fire
and they will continue to work with the Southeast Fire District on site access and onsite trainings. Mr. Call
further added that there is a well and water tank on the northern end of the project for fire protection.
Commissioner Beemer asked what kind of training will be held with the emergency responders. Ms.
McKenna said that the training would look like manufacturer's training as well as online components and a
site tour to show where everything is. She added that updated training will be conducted as the batteries
are upgraded.
Commissioner Hammond asked how close the battery site is to a residence. Mr. Call said that they are
located over 1000 feet away.
Commissioner Wailes referred to the use of 5 acre feet per year and asked what the water is being used
for. Mr. Call said that it is being used for dust control, fire protection, panel washing and landscaping. Mr.
Wailes asked if that well can be used for that purpose. Mr. Gathman said that according to the Division of
Water Resources it will have to be re -permitted. Mr. Call said that they did call and talk to the Division of
Water Resources regarding the process of re -permitting the well for the fire cistern and that's what led to
the condition of approval. Mr. Gathman clarified that technically the well is located within the Janus project.
Roger Freeman, Horus Energy, 1225 Cody Street, Lakewood, Colorado, said it is a process with the
Division of Water Resources and added that they have contacted them about going through the re -
permitting of the well. He added that they want to preserve the well's use for current uses for as long as
possible so they haven't updated the facts and figures of the well usage because it is not time yet. He
added that the landowner will continue to use the well for agricultural irrigation and stockwater purposes.
Mr. Wailes argued that the time is now as they have to look at compliance. Mr. Freeman said that the
numbers will be more than sufficient.
Commissioner Beemer clarified if the applicant will be providing bonds to the county in case of default to
execute that decommissioning plan. Mr. Gathman replied yes.
Commissioner Beemer said that the power from this project will be going to WAPA but didn't find a referral
that clarified that WAPA is on board with this project as it appears there is with the Prospect solar project.
Ms. McKenna said that they have been working closely with WAPA regarding the interconnection process
over the last couple of years and added that they will make the application to WAPA and they will do
interconnection studies to determine what the impact of the requested capacity will be on their system. She
added that the bulk of those studies have been completed and we are waiting on a facilities study and then
the interconnection part of that will be complete. She said that they anticipate that interconnection
agreement in the first part of 2025. Ms. Beemer asked if this would be finalized before any construction
began. Ms. McKenna replied that it would be.
The Chair called a recess at 2:59 p.m. and reconvened the hearing at 3:10 p.m.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Harold Erker, 6001 CR 73, Roggen, Colorado, stated that he is a third -generation dryland farmer and added
that they were approached by Horus Energy to see whether a portion of their farm ground might be suitable
4
for a solar farm. As it turns out, it is suitable because of its close proximity to the Tri-State and WAPA
transmission lines. Mr. Erker expressed that they were excited about the idea of utilizing their land as a
means for clean energy production and said that it will provide a different kind of commodity. He added that
Horus Energy has worked hard to address not only their needs and concerns but also the concerns of
neighbors surrounding the solar farm as well.
Rich Werner, Upstate Colorado Economic Development, 822 7th Street, Greeley, Colorado, stated that he
is here to advocate for both of the applications today. Mr. Werner said that when they work through projects
they want to make sure that landowners in Weld County have control over their destiny and have the ability
to use the best and highest use of their property and exercise their personal property rights. When looking
at the case before you it is important to look at the evolution of the criteria and code that Weld County has
worked on throughout the past decade. He added that they consulted with the solar industry in 2016 to
adjust the code and then the code was further adjusted in 2019 and 2020 to make sure that the criteria
before you are being met by the applicants. Mr. Werner said that when we talk about energy creation in
Weld County, it is an all-inclusive energy economy that supports oil and gas and alternate forms of energy.
He added that Weld County is a commodity -based economy and consistently creating, through agricultural
or energy, product that is being exported outside of our community. Mr. Werner urged the Planning
Commission that if the criteria is being met, that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the Board of
County Commissioners.
Amy Hernandez, 1634 CR 71, stated that this will strip the land of its integrity, prosperity, property value,
view on three sides of her land, and tranquility. Ms. Hernandez said that the glare does affect you and does
create heat. She added that she finds it hard believe that they have developed a solar panel that will
withstand wind, tornado, hail and that they cannot get broken and leak into the ground. She said that they
have been told by WAPA that the Janus solar project will not be able to hook into their switching station,
but if it is a substation then WAPA lied to them.
Paul Swank, 3895 CR 51, Keenesburg, Colorado, stated that he is a third -generation farmer. Mr. Swank
said that by establishing a solar farm on a tract of their land they can generate a consistent income that
will help conserve their families land and business. He added that it will provide significant tax revenue to
Weld County and school and fire districts. Mr. Swank said that Horus Energy has taken great steps to
address neighbor's concerns. He added that they have sought out local contractors early.
Mr. Call appreciates the farming families comments. He added that with regard to the Hernandez's
concerns, they are empathetic to the impacts that the project creates on adjacent landowners and will
ensure that they will stay 500 feet away from their residence. He said that there will also be a landscape
buffer and added that this will not strip any topsoil away except under the small substation.
Ms. McKenna referred to the comments of weather events and panels and said that technology gets better
and better every year. She added that currently the panels are made to withstand up to 150 mph winds
and technology allows them to stow the panels during hail events to help prevent damage.
Commissioner Wailes asked how often panels are changed out and what is the driving factor to change
them out. Ms. McKenna said that they plan to keep the panels for as long as they are useful and then they
would bring in newer technology.
Commissioner White asked if there are assurances that WAPA will accept the power. Ms. McKenna said
that they will enter into an Interconnection Agreement with WAPA in the first part of 2025.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.
Commissioner Wailes said that he is a little frustrated with this application just because there is a cross
over between this and the following application. He added that while he was making notes on his findings
sheet, it would essentially be a denial of this application because he thinks this application was missing
5
information that is actually contained in the other application materials and it is a problem for him. He added
that he believes we could have done better on how this application was pulled together.
Motion: Forward Case USR24-0012 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval,
Moved by Michael Wailes, Seconded by Michael Biwer.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 6).
Yes: Barney Hammond, Butch White, Cindy Beemer, Michael Biwer, Michael Wailes, Virginia Guderjahn.
Commissioner Hammond has concerns that this facility is on three sides of the Hernandez residence.

Diana Aungst
A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a 1041
Major Facility of a Public Utility, including a 199 megawatt AC Solar energy Facility
(SEF) on 1,500 acres, a 100 megawatt AC BESS (Battery Energy Storage
System), a step-up substation, transformer and maintenance facilities, and a
230kV interconnecting transmission line to connect to a new Tri-State Switching
Station, outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District.
The Solar Facility encumbers the E1/2 NW1/4, the SW1/4, and the NE1/4 of
Section 30, Township 1 North, Range 62 West; the SE1/4 and the S1/2 SW1/4 of
Section 25; the SE1/4 of Section 26; all of Section 35; and Lot B of Corrected
Recorded Exemption RE -1445 located in part of the NE1/4 of Section 34, all
located in Township 1 North, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County,
Colorado.
Generally located between County Road 67 and County Road 75; and between
County Road 2 and County Road 6.
Diana Aungst, Planning Services, presented Case USR24-0013, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Ms. Aungst stated that the solar facility will be located on approximately 1500
acres, which is comprised of seven (7) privately owned properties.
Ms. Aungst stated that during the 24 -to -36 -month construction period there will be 300 to 450 workers at
the site. A security fence would be installed around the perimeter of the project.
Ms. Aungst noted that the Prospect solar project is south of and adjacent to the Janus solar project. A
Decommissioning and Reclamation Plan along with a cost estimate was submitted with the application
materials. An Emergency Response Plan was also submitted and the Office of Emergency Management
is currently reviewing this plan and requesting revisions. A siting analysis was performed in order to identify
potential adverse impacts. The siting analysis reviewed visual impacts, wildlife resources, sensitive soils,
and wetlands and waterways. Effects of dust and noise were also considered in separate reports. Visual
impacts will be addressed through the installation of landscape screens.
Ms. Aungst noted that property owners within 1,320 feet were notified of the proposed project. Staff has
received four (4) letters of support and 11 letters of objection. The letters outline concerns about wildlife
and the environment, property values, aesthetics and solar farm stigma, water runoff, leaching of hazardous
materials, chemical spills, toxic material release, dust, noise, vibration, increase truck traffic during
construction, glint and glare, heat affects, electromagnetic interference, light pollution, conflicts with future
land use plans, change in quality of life and sustainability farming. The applicants did conduct public
outreach which included individual neighbor meetings and a neighborhood open house meeting. The Open
House meeting was held on July 5, 2023 where eight (8) surrounding property owners attended and
expressed their concerns with the application. Mr. Aungst said that the submittal to the County includes
mitigation actions for aesthetics, wildlife, soils, dust, noise and wetlands and waterways.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application along with conditions of
approval and development standards.

Commissioner Beemer referred to the squiggly parcel and asked if that's where the Sand Creek runs
through. Ms. August replied yes. Ms. Beemer said that it looks like the parcel to the east of that is owned
by the United States and asked if that is part of the WAPA. Ms. Aungst said that it is not and added that it
is owned by the state or federal government.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan. She added that an Air Pollutant Emissions Notice (APEN) will
be required and weed control would consist of mechanical methods, such as moving. Noise modeling was
not included in this application so this facility would comply with Section 14 of the Weld County Code and
would be regulated under the agricultural noise levels of 55 decibels during the day and night. Ms. Light
noted that if Staff would receive a noise complaint, then it would be measured at the boundary of the
property from which the complaint is issued.
Maggie McKenna, Chief Operating Manager Horus Energy and Vice President of Prospect Solar, LLC, 405
Brunswick Avenue, Calgary, Canada. Jeremy Call, Logan Simpson Consultants, 123 Linden Street, Ft.
Collins, Colorado.
Ms. McKenna stated that they appreciated the public comments heard in relation to the Janus project. She
said that unless there are additional specific comments for this application on behalf of the landowners who
are in support they are requesting that their comments could be applied to the record for the Prospect
project in respect of everyone's time. The Chair agreed and also asked that the applicant's presentation
be condensed.
Ms. McKenna said that this project is located on 1500 acres and will generate up to 199 megawatts. This
project will connect to Tri-State's 230kV transmission line that is already passing through this site.
Mr. Call added that they have received six (6) letters of support and provided them for the record. He stated
that the applications for Janus and Prospect are independent of one another; however, they recognize that
the studies are written for both projects to show a maximum development scenario so the total accumulative
affects can be recognized and anticipated.
Commissioner Hammond asked if Tri-State will be buying the power. Ms. McKenna said that they will be
entering into an Interconnect Agreement with Tri-State to put power on their lines.
Commissioner Beemer asked who will purchase the power from this energy. Ms. McKenna said that it
hasn't been determined yet but they are talking to local utilities in the area and bigger corporations. She
added that it is difficult to have those conversations without the necessary permits in place as the power
purchasers want to know exactly when they can anticipate having power delivered to them.
Commissioner Beemer referred to the estimated 18 months of construction and asked when the range of
construction is expected to start. Ms. McKenna said they hope to start next year but there is a chance it
could slip into 2026. She added that they want to move to construction as quickly as possible.
Commissioner Beemer asked if there is anything that limits what the property owners can do with their land
while you are waiting. Ms. McKenna said that they are free to continue using their land or farm it as long
as it wouldn't interfere with the future use of the land.
Commissioner Beemer asked if there is a timeline where this approval expires if construction doesn't start.
Ms. Aungst said that in the resolution they have 120 days from the date of the Weld County Commissioners'
signature to get everything done but there are some development standards included that they have three
(3) years to start digging and then if they don't and staff is aware of it then it can be brought to the Board to
be revoked. Mr. Call said that with connecting to two utilities, WAPA and Tri-State, they contain expensive
complicated equipment like transformers, and some of that could be backordered up to two years. So that
makes it difficult to deliver a hard construction start date to the county within that three-year period. He
7
added that they will likely have to ask for an extension and said that they would be happy to come back
and demonstrate good faith progress at year three.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Brian Mundhenke, 37915 CR 4, stated that he is extremely concerned for the amount of traffic that the
currently undermaintained roads will take on along with the 300 to 500 people that will come in and what
that will do to crime rates and police response times. Mr. Mundhenke said that he is disappointed as some
members of the Planning Commission showed some reservation on the first application and then approved
it.
Clint Nolan, 1083 CR 67, stated that he is very concerned with traffic as it is a very dangerous road. He
added that some of these roads are traveled by tractors and worried about the dangers with traffic. Mr.
Nolan noted that someone has applied dust abatement on County Road 67 going into Adams County and
added that the road is trashed as they did a horrible job.
Paul Swank, 3895 CR 51, stated that he supports this project (see specific comments in Janus Solar
Project).
Kelsey Singleton, 43047 Highway 52, Roggen, Colorado, stated that they believe with proper planning,
implementation and monitoring through all pre -construction, construction, and operation and maintenance,
revegetation, soil stabilization as well as eco-system sustainability can be achieved on both projects.
Harold Erker, 6001 CR 73, Roggen, Colorado, stated that he supports this project (see specific comments
in Janus Solar Project).
Commissioner White referred to the concern on the roads and asked if County Road 4 will be upgraded.
Mike McRoberts, Development Review, said that they will be looking at all of the haul routes and will
determine what upgrades will be required.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.
