There are only two lines that cross our property and we have designed everything to stay outside of the easement for those . Use By Special Review ( USR) Planning Questionnaire 1 . Explain the proposed use and business name . The proposed use is for an event venue for hosting weddings , family reunions , birthdays , quinceaneras , bar mitzvahs , bat mitzvahs , community barn dances , business receptions , and other celebrations and ceremonies . The business name would be Selah Springs LLC . 2 . Explain the need for the proposed use . - We desire to serve our community by hosting events on our gorgeous farm . We love creating memories for families and friends , and we believe our place , with it' s gorgeous country setting , lake , and views of the mountains is a perfect place to do just that . There are very few country-setting event locations close to Denver , Boulder, and the Denver airport , and our property is not only within 25 miles of all three , it has a perfect layout for hosting guests . 3 . Describe the current and previous use of the land . - Currently , this property is zoned Agricultural , and is used as a rural residence . The three previous owners used it for the same since 1980 , and prior to that , records show that it was part of a larger farm and had crops/hay grown on it . 4 . Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences . We have three areas for outdoor ceremonies , and desire to erect a building for indoor events to assist in temperature and wind management and noise control . We have a berm on the west and south sides of the property for assisting with noise and wind control for events , traffic dust and noise from the road , and assisting in noise control that would affect the neighbors . The three outdoor areas are the outdoor chapel , the peninsula , and the amphitheater . They are all on the west side of the lake , over 1 , 100 feet from eastern residences , over 2 , 000 feet from northern residences , over 900 feet from western residences , and 600 - 900 feet from two southern residences . Here is a more detailed understanding of each location to the nearest residences ( closest first ) . * total number of residences in each direction within 2 , 000 feet of these uses are in ( ) * distances are to the nearest residence in that direction North (2 ) : our house and a neighbor's barn are between areas and residences Peninsula = > 1 , 100 feet Event Building = > 1 , 200 feet O utdoor Chapel = > 1 , 400 feet Amphitheater = > 1 , 900 feet South ( 3 ) : berm on our south property line between the areas and residences Amphitheater = > 600 feet O utdoor Chapel = > 1 , 000 feet Event Building = > 1 , 300 feet Peninsula = > 1 , 400 feet East (4 ) : across the lake and ( 2 ) across the road and being the dam O utdoor Chapel = > 1 , 100 feet Peninsula = > 1 , 100 feet Amphitheater = > 1 , 200 feet Event Building = > 1 , 200 feet West ( 1 ) : Amphitheater = > 1 , 200 feet Event Building = > 1 , 200 feet O utdoor Chapel = > 1 , 100 feet Peninsula = > 1 , 300 feet 5 . Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is compatible with them . The neighboring properties are used as personal country -residences , fields for harvesting hay , or pastures for grazing animals . The proposed use would not change or damage these properties from continuing to be used as they are , nor would it hinder the owners from continuing to use them in the same way as they have . Because we are taking such precaution to not be a bother to them , the change in use should work to their benefit . Not only will they see an increase in the value of their property , but they will also have a local place to host their own events that will work toward keeping the road and neighborhood beautiful and clean . 6 . Describe the hours and days of operation ( i . e . Monday thru Friday 8 : 00 a . m . to 5 : 00 p . m . ) . Seasons : Summer would be the busiest - June - September 1 -4 events per week/weekend Spring and Fall would have some events , 1 -2 per week , mostly inside Winter would have the fewest events , 2 -4 per month , inside use only Days of operation : Mondays - 8 : 00 am - 5 : 00 pm - rental companies and vendors pick up equipment / cleanup of all facilities * groundskeeping Tuesdays - 8 : 00 am - 8 : 00 pm - planning with , or showing property to , new clients longer hours to serve clients to visit after their work * groundskeeping Wednesdays - 8 : 00 am - 8 : 00 pm - planning with , or showing property to , new clients * groundskeeping Thursdays - 8 : 00 am - 5 : 00 pm - final mowing / groundskeeping * Potential Summer events 2 : 00 pm - 10 : 00 pm Fridays - 8 : 00 am - 2 : 00 pm - planning with or showing property to new clients 2 : 00 pm - 11 : 00 pm - events Saturdays - 8 : 00 am - 2 : 00 pm - Morning cleanup and other setup 2 : 00 pm - 11 : 00 pm - events Sundays - 8 : 00 am - 2 : 00 pm - Morning cleanup and other setup 2 : 00 pm - 10 : 00 pm - events *Setup would commence in the mornings , no earlier than 8 : 00 a . m . ; ceremonies would be in the afternoons/early evenings ; receptions would be in the evenings , ending no later than 11 : 00 p . m . ; clean -up would be required to be completed by 12 : 00 a . m . or the following morning . *Maintaining the grass by mowing , irrigating , fertilizing , etc. would be on Mondays through Wednesdays . Mowing may be moved to , or redone , the day before the first event of the week , depending on grass health and usage . 7 .

Waste - we will have a trash dumpster fenced by the venue building and by the front gate . 13 . Describe the method and time schedule of removal or disposal of debris , junk and other wastes associated with the proposed use . Trash days are Tuesdays and all trash and recycling will be in the dumpsters to be taken . 14 . Include a timetable showing the periods of time required for the construction of the operation .

Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site . The property has a gradual slope from the north to the south , and from the road (west ) to the lake ( east ) . There is a berm parallel to the road approximately 6 ' -8 ' tall from the top of the road . Its slope is soft enough to mow on both sides , and is contoured to assist drainage to run into the irrigation ditches or toward the lake . There is an existing culvert in the north irrigation ditch that brings water from the road ditch to drain into our lake . The feeder ditch for our irrigation water is on the south line of our property . There are a couple lines of trees on the west ( north end ) and north boundaries , a line of cottonwoods down the north irrigation ditch , and a few others scattered around the property . Existing : The property has a gradual slope from the north to the south , and from the berm (west ) to the lake east ) . The berm is parallel to the south and southwest property lines approximately 6 ' -8 ' higher than the road . The slope is mow-able on both sides . The outside of the berm drains to the road ditch , into a culvert through the berm , and into an irrigation ditch ( north ditch ) to the lake . This ditch is approximately 2 -3 feet wide and has pasture grass and buffalo grass on its banks . There are several tall cottonwood trees lining the ditch just before it enters into the lake . There is low - watering grasses planted on the berm , road ditch , and most of the property , with a blue - grass / fescue grass mix covering the ground around the event areas . The north end of the property has rows of trees on the north , east , and west property lines . The south carrier ditch is for our irrigation water and is on the south property line . It is kept mowed and clean and has low-watering grass on its banks . The home sits on the north side of the lake with a detached garage , and a barn on the east line north of the lake . Our driveway has a slight curve from our road access to the garage and house . Proposed : We will place some landscaping around the new event building , add trees and shrubs around the property lines , a few random trees around the property , and small areas for sitting and enjoying the views , farm , lake , and atmosphere of our event venue . We will be installing a sprinkler system to water the grass and trees , and water sprayers in the lake to minimize mosquito and scum ( nutrient ) growth . We will also install a "river" for circulating the lake , water the cottonwoods , and eliminates much of the nutrients and habitat for mosquitos and bugs . We will install a small amphitheater in the south berm on the inside of the berm , and will complete the electrical and lighting for the front entry gate at the entrance of the property . The parking lot will be on the north side of our curve in our driveway and will be to the west of our garage . It has grass around it on all sides and has a slope to a culvert under our drive to take any runoff to the lake in a sway ( ditch ) in the grass . There will be a small amount of landscaping around the house and a future addition , and a few trees dispersed around the home . We have thoughts to plant grape vines on the northern part of our property in order to not only add to the ambiance of events on our property , but to also keep the rich heritage of agriculture and farming alive in our community . This will depend mostly on the quantity of irrigation water we have left after irrigating the grass around the venue building . 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 . The property is clean and ready for the installation for all of the event venue items . Immediate items : Installation of the outdoor chapel , pergola ( s ) , amphitheater , landscaping , lighting/electrical , and completion of the front entry gate will commence immediately . The construction of the event building will commence as soon as we have financing secured . We have 75 % of these funds currently , and will apply with a bank for a loan to complete the remainder once the application is approved . 20 . Describe the proposed Fire protection measures Fire protection for the building is included in the plans for the building . It will align with the Colorado and Weld County statutes and laws , and will be kept current to ensure patron safety . The fire protection plan for the property is to keep all grasses mowed , trees/shrubs manicured across the property , and the irrigation ditches and road ditch ( as applicable by Weld County Roads ) maintained and manicured to keep water flow to the lake and fire hazards at a minimum . The current measures we keep will continue and be maintained for the entire venue . 21 . Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code . A. Respecting Our Agricultural Heritage . Weld County has an agricultural heritage built u pon the hard work of pioneers and farmers on traditional family farms . Weld County is n ow one of the most economically productive agricultural counties in the nation . The Weld County Right to Farm Statement and the Goals and Objectives in this Plan support the importance of agriculture in the County . We hope to continue that heritage by planting grape vines and raising grapes on the north end of our property . Our property has been used as a rural residence since 1980 when the home was built , but we would like to have it be a place where the local community may come and enjoy their family events at a beautiful location in the county . B . Respecting Private Property Rights . One of the basic principles upon which the United States was founded is the right of citizens to own and utilize property so long as that use complies with local regulations and does not interfere with or infringe upon the rights of others . The largest concerns for keeping the rights of my neighbors are noise abatement , dust control , and the amount of road traffic . We have been working with an acoustical/sound engineer in planning our building and u sing this property as an event venue . We hope to minimize the amount of sound that would come out of the event building , imposing conservative limits to our guests . We have already worked to create exterior guiding of sound to minimize its impact on n eighbors , and have contoured our land to assist in this process . The berm around the south and southwest property lines will help lower the impact on those close to our property , and keep noise from bouncing or echoing back and forth across the lake . We have been working and communicating with the Weld County Roads and Ditches departments to assist with maintaining County Road 8 from County Road 19 , past our place ( up to 500 feet to the West ) in order to eliminate as much dust as possible from the traffic coming to our event location . We desire to apply dust suppressant on the road to keep them smooth and minimize dust , and will apply for any application n ecessary to have a company apply those chemicals as soon as we are approved for the Special Use . The amount of traffic increased on County Road 8 would be our prime concern for traffic effects , as this is a dirt road to our location . The amount of dust would be minimized by the above set plan ( please see the paragraph above ) . County Road 19 is paved and sees much more existing traffic, and would have minimal impact from our event location . However, we would like to see more signage and markings for slower and safe driving on these roads , around the curves , and would be willing to participate in the maintenance and plan to address these concerns . C . Promoting Economic Growth and Stability . Land use policies have a significant impact on economic conditions in the County and should be structured to encourage economic prosperity . To ensure the continued strength of Weld County' s economy , land u se processes and decisions based on this plan shall be consistent and promote fiscally responsible growth . This Special Use for an Event Location aligns with the Economic Growth and Stability policies of Weld County , and would not only provide financial stability for me and my family , but would also create opportunities for others to see this venue benefit their businesses and families in the community as well . From wedding and party planners to landscape professionals , septic services to food service companies , there would be many different businesses that would prosper from this event location business . Families would not only see their property value increase because of the beauty our location would bring , but it would also provide a local venue for them to enjoy . There is also the opportunity for them to participate in the business , for example , a close n eighbor has a daughter studying event planning and we welcome the opportunity for her to train and potentially work here to fill her passion for working in the industry . D . Protecting Health , Safety , and General Welfare . Land use regulations and policies will protect and enhance the health , safety , and general welfare of the citizens of Weld County . One of the biggest things we 've seen from the shut down of public activities from Covid is the breakdown of relationships and mental health . We desire to provide a venue for people to hold their festivities for their families and friends to enjoy life and bring back health through relationships and celebrations with those they love . Not only will we provide a beautiful , fun place for their events , we will provide security services in order to maintain quality and safety for guests who simply want to relax and enjoy themselves . Our family , staff, and team are focussed on making this a place where fun can be put back into everyday living . 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 is 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 . For centuries , those participating in A (Agricultural ) land use have used locations like our proposed event venue to restore themselves after long weeks and months of hard work . This location is one that promotes the beauty of being in an A (Agricultural ) setting , and personifies the lifestyle of the those surrounding our place . Because we were raised on A (Agricultural ) land , we would call ourselves "country kids" and believe we know what it takes to keep the essence of our neighborhood , and the hopes and wishes of our neighbors . Our hope is that we will not only promote the essence of A(Agricultural ) lands , but we will be a place where they will bring their events to promote it as well . 23 . Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area or adopted master plans of affected municipalities . Both Dacono and Fort Lupton have extended an invitation to us for annexing into their communities . They both have wonderful plans for future development and community in this area , and neither would be a bad choice to join . If we ever must choose between the two , it will be one that will take a lot of thought and consideration , and it will have to be paramount to leave the richness of staying with Weld County . However, because we are a place , and organization (family ) who believe in bringing people and groups together, our hope is that this place will be one that is well known for celebrating the differences and the similarities together from all three entities . Instead of being pulled into one and away from the others , we see our location as being an option for families and organizations throughout the county and these two municipalities ( and even more neighboring ones ) to come to unite , join arm - in -arm , and celebrate one another for the similarities and differences we have . The master plans of each of these entities does not have drastic changes from that of what we already are , and besides amenities being brought through our road , the focus of this area is to do exactly what we are wanting to establish here now. We hope to be a catalyst to see many more come to enjoy this area , and maybe even call it their own , enjoying the country life in Weld County . 24 . Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health , safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County . Rest and restoration through relationship is vital for each human being . Having locations to celebrate life and the important moments of it is key to creating a culture that takes time out from being busy to celebrate one another, the big events , and even remembering where we 've been and come from . By establishing a location like this for events and celebrations , we give families , friends , and complete strangers the opportunity to pause , take in the rich nature of Weld County , and be restored to be a better influence in the lives of those around them . Our hope is that we will not only make an impact through the experience people have , but also by sharing the importance of relationships through individual spaces and tasks guests may participate in when they visit our venue . Playing horseshoes with other guests , maybe even family , will have a whole new meaning when challenged to play in a manner that brings life to others rather than just throwing a ringer. Our hope is that our neighbors will come to enjoy the use of this event location and share the beauty of what we are inviting others to be a part of here . They too are invited to share the joys of the countryside with their friends and fam ilies here , and we hope they will do that with us when we invite them each year for our annual cookout (and other "family/neighborhood " gatherings ) . We truly want to enhance our country living for us and our neighbors , and in no way do we wish to be a bother or just another business in the area . 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 decisions for the proposed use . There are three irrigation features on the property : the end of the Thompson Ditch , Northstar Reservoir, and an existing irrigation system . We have cleaned and re -contoured the ditch in order to maintain its water flow across our property into the lake , and planted grasses that help control erosion in the ditch that can be mowed to keep down weeds and be maintained . We have , and will continue to plant grasses and plants that deter mosquitos , and their habitat , in order to minimize their impact on us , our guest , and our neighbors . We dredged and updated the west shoreline of the lake on our property ( per the State of Colorado Water specifications ) , removing all invasive species , and contouring the shoreline in order to hold all parties ' water shares in the lake , promote healthy growth of grasses and trees near the water for better care and maintenance , and for making the property cleaner and more beautiful for holding events on our property . We have repaired the existing irrigation system in order to be able to irrigate and maintain the beauty of our property through the irrigation and care of the grasses and landscape . We have also communicated with other water rights holders to rent water from them in order to maintain lake levels to their peak, and maintain the beauty and functionality of the lake . We are also working with the other water rights holders and land owners without water rights on the lake to dredge and clean the entire lake , dam , and surrounding lake area . Our goal is to restore its depth to the levels needed for the capacity of all water rights deemed to live in Northstar Reservoir, and to create a welcoming atmosphere for each owner on their land . 26 . Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article Xl 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 . Our property does not lie in any Overlay Zoning District or Flood Hazard Area for Article V, nor any Floodplain of Article Xl . All municipalities with any Agreements with the county have been contacted and approval has been given by documentation submitted to Weld County Planning department for approval of the usage of this application in the Spring of 2021 . 27 . Detail known State and Federal permits required for your proposed use ( s ) and the status of each permit . Provide a copy of any application or permit .

USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW ( USR) DEVELOPMENT REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE Answer the following questions per Section 8 - 11 -40 , Appendix 8 -Q , and Section 8 - 14 - 10 of the Weld County Code . Please type on a separate sheet . If a question does not pertain to your proposal , please respond with an explanation — do not leave questions blank . 1 . Describe the access location and applicable use types ( i . e . , agricultural , residential , commercial /industrial , and/or oil and gas ) of all existing and proposed accesses to the parcel . Include the approximate distance each access is ( or will be if proposed ) from an intersecting county road . State that no existing access is present or that no new access is proposed , if applicable . No new access is proposed . The entry to our property is on County Road 8 . It has open views for entering the road and seeing oncoming traffic , and is currently used for residential use . The approximate distances to the county roads are 3/4 of a mile to the west ( CR 17 ) , and 1 /4 of a mile to the east ( CR 19 ) . 2 . Describe any anticipated change ( s ) to an existing access , if applicable . The only change I would propose is to widen my entry and culvert . But that would only be for easier turning radius into the property and more width for entry and exit . 3 . Describe in detail any existing or proposed access gate including its location . The previous access gate had a post that rotted off and we removed the gate and left the one single post to mark the location . We have chosen not to replace it as we knew we would be looking at a new proposed gate . Please see the "Gate Plans" provided with this application for specifications , and the Landscape and Screening Plan for its location on the property and distance from the road . This is a quick description of the proposed gate . It would be approximately 20 ' -26 ' wide , with a 2 'x2 ' or 3 'x3 ' pillar / post base , built of concrete and decorated with rock . Posts would be 8x8 ( or similar) beams protruding up out of the pillar / post base , and would have black rod iron braces that attach any cross beams or decorative beams to the other side . It would have a black rod iron gate on each pillar that would have motorized openers with a security key pad for entering and exiting . The gate would sit parallel to the road at our entry , and would be set back from the road enough distance to allow 1 -2 vehicles to be off the road when entering the gate . The gate would be continuously open during events to allow free traffic flow on and off the road , and would only be closed for security for our family when there were not events . 4. Describe the location of all existing accesses on adjacent parcels and on parcels located on the opposite side of the road . Include the approximate distance each access is from an intersecting county road . The neighbor west of us has an access approximately 70 ' from ours that is approximately 16 ' -20 ' wide . There are pasture accesses just west of that neighbor's property (approximately 250 ' -300 ' west of his entry) on both sides of the road . The north one is accessed by a rancher and some oil companies a few times per year that I 've seen in our 5 years of owning here , and the south access has never been entered . The next closest driveway is over 500 ' to the west on the south side of the road from ours , and to the east/south , the first access is approximately 1200 ' away on the opposite side of the road and at the south curve . 5 . Describe any difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from an existing access and any anticipated difficulties seeing oncoming traffic from a proposed access . The visibility at our access is the best you could have for our road . Exiting our access to both directions , you can see the road , neighbors ' accesses , and any oncoming traffic with ease . There are no visual encumbrances , no trees or bushes , and no landscaping blocking the view . Nor would there ever be any growth that would be in the line of site to do so in either direction . . L . LSEP; 6 . Describe any horizontal curve ( using terms like mild curve , sharp curve , reverse curve, etc . ) in the vicinity of an existing or proposed access . When driving east on CR 8 , the road turns about 75 -80 degrees to the south -southeast , making a medium curve . The road in the curve is as wide as the rest of the road , is very well maintained by the county , and I have kept ( and will continue to ) the ditches contoured and mowed since I 've lived here . There is no loss of sight of traffic either direction while in the curve or while entering or exiting our access . Because our access is in the middle of the curve , it is in the best location for seeing all oncoming traffic . 7 . Describe the topography ( using terms like flat, slight hills , steep hills , etc . ) of the road in the vicinity of an existing or proposed access . There is little elevation difference (approximately 1 ' ) from one side of the road to the other in the curve , and no elevation difference in the road in either direction . Describe existing site layout i . e . , buildings , signs , lights, fencing/screening , landscaping , parking . The property has a gradual slope from the north to the south , and from the road to the lake . There is a berm parallel to the road approximately 6 ' -8 ' tall from the top of the road . Its slope is soft enough to mow on both sides , and is contoured to assist drainage to run into the ditch or toward the lake . There is an existing culvert in an irrigation ditch that brings water from the road ditch to drain to our lake . Another irrigation ditch is on the south line of our property , and is the main access for our irrigation water into the lake . There is cattle fencing around the boundary of the property everywhere but what boundary is in the lake . There are a couple lines of trees on the west and north boundaries , a line of cottonwoods down the old irrigation ditch , and a few others scattered around the property . The home sits on the north side of the lake with a detached garage , and a barn on the east line north of the lake . Our driveway has a slight curve from our road access to the garage and house , and the rest of the property is grass that is relatively flat . There are no signs , not much for landscaping , and the only lighting is on the garage or the house . Describe proposed improvements i . e buildings , signs , lights , fencing/screening , landscaping , parking . Building # 1 - a building for events - 50 'x120 ' - please see plans for location and building details Building #2 - Shop - 40 ' x 56 ' Steel Building - not for USR special use Building #3 - Shop - 40 ' x 60 ' Pole Barn for family use - not for USR special use Building #4 - House addition - not for USR special use Lights - we' d like lighting along the driveway, in the parking area , and on buildings as needed , all that could be turned off after events - not continuous lighting . The gate entry would have lights that only illuminate the gate and address numbers . They would not be obtrusive to passing traffic . Electricity - we will need to install electricity to the new building , areas where outdoor events could be , and to any lighting - please see electrical plan for details Pergolas - add a couple pergolas in areas specific for ceremony areas - please see plans for details Parking - gravel an area west of the garage for parking - please see parking plan Fencing - ( all potential ) along the property line by the road , another separating the house and event building Landscaping - a .

Walking paths from the parking area to the outdoor event areas and event building d . Aspen groves in a few locations around the paths and outdoor event areas e . A man -made river/stream that would flow through the old irrigation ditch into the lake This functions for a few reasons : 1 . It keeps the water circulating / moving in the lake to reduce mosquitos and moss growth 2 . It keeps the old irrigation ditch cleaned out for proper flow of irrigation from west neighbors and runoff from the road 3 . It acts as irrigation for the existing cottonwood trees 4 . It adds another beautiful area for ambiance during events f. Entrance gate built of wood , steel and stone Outdoor chapel / church frame made of metal for outdoor ceremonies - please see pictures included Detail the location of any on -site oil and gas facilities, irrigation ditches/laterals , pipelines , overhead lines , railroad , etc . - Irrigation Ditches - there are two irrigation ditches : 1 - In the center, running runoff water from the road and west neighbors ' irrigation into the lake 2 - On the south property line running from the southwest corner directly east into the lake - Pipelines - There are two gas pipes (approximately 48" in the ground ) that enter the south line west of the road access , and run north approximately 400 ' (approximately 30 ' -70 ' away from the west property line ) , then turn diagonally and run to and exit at the NE corner of the property . They also run east and south following the contour of the road at about the same distance from the property line , exiting to the south . - Overhead lines - the power to the property is in the southwest corner west of the road access , and nothing overhead exist on or above the property Detail the number of people who will access this site on a daily and weekly basis i . e . , contractors , truck drivers , customers , volunteers , employees , etc .

Noise abatement plan : We have a sound engineer who will assist us on designing our building and landscaping to assist in minimizing the effects of noise from escaping our property . It is very important to us to treat our neighbors well , and because of the greater distance to each of them , we have a bit more room to ensure they won 't hear higher decibels from our events . Part of our plan is to limit the levels for both inside and outside events , and we will have that in our contracts with those who have events here . The building will be developed to keep the majority of sound inside , and because the building will have air conditioning , we will ask that doors not be propped open when loud music or noise is being made . For outdoor events , we will be sure to keep the limits under the standard , keeping music to a minimum as ceremonial levels and background music. We will require parties to use the building if they are above the 60 decibel limit . Our landscaping will also assist in keeping noise inside our property , and noise levels that do escape will be under the county standard . We will provide the county with the sound engineer' s plan once we begin the development of the building , but we would prefer not to spend that money until we know we are granted the approval of the venue . Traffic dust - vehicles on -site for events - there will be temporary speed limit signs posted for slower speeds during events , the parking lot will be asphalt shavings to minimize dust and will be maintained with dust suppressant and/or water before events . Waste/Trash - any accrued by events will be disposed of by trash service - currently picked up on Tuesdays - and will be kept inside a fenced barrier on the west side of the event building .

Additional information may be requested depending on type of land use requested . LLC April 18, 2023 Weld County Planning RE : Selah Springs Wedding Venue USR, Drainage Narrative To Whom It May Concern : Selah Springs Wedding venue is a new facility to be constructed on a parcel of ground in southern Weld County zoned A, Agricultural . Runoff modeling from this project proved to be difficult due to not having a distinct single outfall . The facility sits adjacent to North Star Reservoir which is an irrigation storage reservoir. Stormwater flows naturally to the east to this reservoir. The developed site will be predominantly native grassland or lawn areas . The total non - lake area of the site is 11 .4 acres with approximately 3 . 4% being impervious roof or concrete area . An additional 8 . 1 % will be gravel driveways or gravel parking areas . The remaining 88 . 6% is native grassland and lawns . Flow is directed by a few discrete conveyances from the parking area under the drive via culvert which handles nuisance flows and then via a wide grassed swale to the lake . The second discrete conveyance is a " landscaped stream " which catches stormwater from the county road via a culvert under the berm and runoff from the areas directly adjacent to the " landscaped stream . " This then conveys flows a few hundred feet to the reservoir . The remainder of the flows are from lawn and native areas and drain via sheet flows to the reservoir as it historically has . Area 1 , Parking, This area encompasses the gravel parking area, most of the gravel driveway, areas north and west of the driveway on -site and offsite drainage to the west. Macro drainage from the run-on area of approximately 100 acres was analyzed utilizing 7 . 5 minute USGS topo maps and available LIDAR data ; however, micro drainage characteristics for the one mile drainage area from the west was not individually investigated . It is being assumed for this narrative that all the flow from these predominantly grassland and alfalfa fields would flow to the east during a large storm event and through the site as it has historically. The analysis of the hydrograph shows that almost all the on -site stormwater will be drained to the lake before the peak of the offsite water from the long drainage area reaches the site . P.O.

This includes the residential housing site, residential accessory buildings, and native grass areas. This area drains naturally to the southeast directly to the lake via un -concentrated overland flow . Area 3 , is an area where a landscaping berm was created . This berm is seeded to native grasses; however, does have substantial slope which yields runoff. This berm flows to a culvert under the berm and a " landscaped stream " which flows directly to the lake . Area 4, is all the additional area east of the berm and is predominantly lawn areas with two proposed structures in it . These proposed structures are the venue building and an open air chapel . The venue building will be guttered and runoff directed away from foundation of the building into the lawn areas. Chapel will flow off of the landscape pavers to the lawn area . These lawn areas flow east directly to the lake .

M . , WELD COUNTY COLORADO 1 OF 1 Drainage Narrative Page 4 of 5 April 18, 2023 We are requesting an exemption on this project due to its relatively low impervious area and its situation directly adjacent to the receiving waters, North Star Reservoir, based on Weld County code Section 8- 11 -40 . I . 11 . Code references FEMA regulatory floodplain ; however, this is interpreted to mean receiving water body in which North Star Reservoir is . Increases in runoff from site are negligible in relation to the contributing watershed . 8-11 -40.I. 1. Any existing and proposed improvements to the property. Much of the site will stay native or lawn areas which do not increase imperviousness . Increases to runoff are from , existing residence and outbuildings, proposed venue building , proposed chapel, and gravel driveway and parking areas. 2. The exception being requested for consideration. Exemption 11 . Code references FEMA regulatory floodplain ; however, this is interpreted to mean receiving water body in which North Star Reservoir is . Increases in runoff from site are negligible in relation to the contributing watershed . 3. Where the water originates if it flows onto the property from an off-site source. A significant portion of offsite water originates from the west from a watershed that extends approximately 1 mile to the west . This watershed is predominantly grass and alfalfa farmed fields. 4. Where the water flows as it leaves the property. All flows exit the property via North Star Reservoir which is an irrigation reservoir that extends onto the property. Most all of the offsite water is directed to the reservoir via natural drainage to a small grassed swale to the reservoir. A portion of the on -site water comingles with this; however, the majority of the on -site runoff flows directly to the reservoir via shallow overland flow . 5. The direction of flow across the property. Flow across this property is generally from the northwest to the south east for the northern half of the site and straight east for the southern portion of the site . All flow is essentially perpendicular to shoreline of reservoir. 6. Previous drainage problems with the property, if any. No known historic drainage problems exist. Drainage Narrative Page 5of5 April 18, 2023 7. The location of any irrigation facilities adjacent to or near the property. The main irrigation facility is North Star Reservoir. In addition , a small irrigation lateral runs along the southern edge of the property which conveys tail irrigation water to the reservoir. This irrigation lateral will remain un -altered and un-affected by this project . 8. Any additional information pertinent to the development. See narrative above for additional information . As always if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call .

The only areas that will not have growth will be covered with rocks and other landscape materials that will not blow away in the wind . The road will be maintained with dust suppressant by working with all the neighbors to keep it sprayed , and we will assist in maintenance of weed growth and suppression in and around the ditches as well . Landscape and Screening Plan Existing Landscaping : The current landscape is a soft slope that flows to the lake from all directions . There are a few cottonwood trees on the carrier ditch from the road and irrigation runoff from the properties to the west , and a few deciduous tree in the middle of the property along the driveway . There is a berm that parallels the road and south property line that blocks out the road , dust , and noise , and a line of trees on the north end of the property that acts as a windbreak. Most of the ground is dirt that has been prepped for sprinklers and grass to be planted , and is sloped away from the buildings . The north end of the property has been used as a large garden and pumpkin patch , and the lake makes most of the east line of the property . The driveway to the house has a rock base with chipped asphalt on top for a rich , clean , maintainable surface that doesn 't sink into the mud in the winter, and has less dust in the warmer weather . Proposed Landscaping : We plan to install sprinklers and plant grass on the majority of the property . The berm will have grass , grass with wildflowers , and some trees and a hedge that will assist in dust control , noise dampening , and overall beauty and ambiance for the venue . The fields will have durable , drought - proof grass that will tolerate walking traffic, will be mowed and manicured weekly , and will be kept watered and clean . We will plant trees in several areas around the property . Some of those trees in the windbreak are Russian Olive trees , a tree considered to be a noxious weed , and will be replaced with evergreens that will fill in the windbreak to assist with better protection from the wind . Other locations will have trees added in order to beautify the property , but to also assist with dampening the wind . We will place rocks and decorative zero -scape around the buildings to maintain dust and weed control , but keep irrigation a minimum of six feet from the foundations of the buildings . There will be water features that assist in circulating and cleaning the lake water , and will be kept clean and maintained for beauty and safety for those who visit the venue . The driveway will continue to be maintained with chipped asphalt , and a parking area with similar covering will be added as well . If the surface becomes problematic for guests or for maintenance , we would look at paving them both to give a smoother surface . Both will be maintained from growing weeds or becoming a nuisance . We will install a pergola , chapel , and amphitheater as they are permitted , and create rock pathways for guests to travel from point to point . Property Maintenance : In the summer and warmer times of Spring and Fall , the property will be mowed weekly and kept manicured to sustain the beauty and ambiance for the venue . Bushes and trees will be trimmed and maintained , and flowerbeds and pots will be scattered to create color patches around the property . The buildings will be kept clean and well maintained . New paint will be applied as the buildings fade , and will be kept in a manner to welcome guests . Installation Schedule : As soon as the application approval is granted , and the weather is cooperative , we will install sprinklers , plant grass , install trees , build plant boxes and pots , and add the zero -scaling after each building or feature is completed . The structures will be built alongside the installation of the landscaping , and will be completed in a timely manner. Our hope is to have the venue completed within 3 months of the application approval , accept for the construction of the large building . That may take a bit more time . Irrigation Method : We have irrigation rights in the lake and will use that water to water the property . Security / Privacy Fencing : There currently is fencing on the North side of the West property line , continues on the North line , wraps around to the East line and ends at the lake edge . It is a 3 -4 ' fence for dogs , and assists in keeping our pets inside our property lines . There is a barbed wire fence on the South property line , and that was wrapped around to the West line on the south end until recently . We will replace the barbed wire with a decorative fence , either a 3 -rail ranch horse fence , or a six foot high , black, rod - iron fence . The entry gate will be made of stone and wood , and the fence will tie into the dog fence on North line of the West fence . Trash Enclosure : We will have a trash enclosure in three places on the property : The first will be included in the design and structure of the entry gate . This will allow for the trash containers to be placed where the trash service company can easily access the containers without having to enter the property . The second will be near the event building . It will have a fence around it for protection from the wind , and to make it look nicer for guest to the venue . The Third will be near the house and garage for our personal use . This will also have a fence or containment so that it is kept out of sight of guests , and protected from the wind . Portable Toilet Screening : If we do need to use portable toilets while the event building is being constructed , we have portable bathrooms on trailers that look great and would not need screening . They are fully contained in each unit, and are not something we would need to hide . Lighting Plan The lighting on our property will be put in the electrical plan submitted for the construction of the buildings and venue . Our goal is to maintain the soft , country darkness that currently exists , not only for our neighbors , but also for ourselves to continue to enjoy the country living . We will only have lights in areas around the buildings , on pathways , and illuminating the driveway and the parking area . ALL of the lights will be able to be turned off, and in the case that no events are planned on the property , the area will not have light pollution protruding to our neighbors . The only lights that will be constant will be those in the front entry gate wall that will softly illuminate the name of our venue , and invite guests to see the address and the gate access . The lighting in the landscaped areas that have paths and structures will be kept to a soft lighting . It is merely to assist in keeping the boundaries visible and guests safe while they venture around the property after dark . The event building will have patio lighting under the outdoor , roof-covered patio , and the interior lights will be placed high enough to assist in keeping refractory light from traveling great distances outside the windows . The lighting for the residence will be maintained like other homes in the area . We will minimize light pollution , and keep the natural light of the moon and stars as our primary attraction . Any outdoor lights for the driveway or building entrances will be kept on motion detectors that will shut the lights off after a short period of movement , and the areas will be kept as it is currently used . . . country darkness . _ -� d __ ..„ I I II p IP • \ ., , - rA,: . *. i, • E\ wYwNn ,t, \ , _ \ ::: LED \,.,.. ...:SOLARswnEET LIGHIt 1 n ouTDOOR , 1 .rte . ., . a._ I 11 ijusis - esti . _.. ,_ . . 0 .„4,4 1a I 1 . . _ a , I' ' y , 4 ail_ _1 _ , lip i iiii4-QC .1" .,.. _.,, \NI. ) (13) _ J '18 'ill I61 +1jy n C: . /1/4S7 lickca.,(—S-de 7 \ li A:5494.

Tools Used The App used to measure the decibel levels was Decibel X on an iPhone 14 iOS device . A KEiiD sound system was used that produces up to 110 dba . as seen in the " Completion of Test" picture. The picture here is my son trying to communicate "WOW, this system is LOUD . " It is the first time we had it this loud and put it "to the test" . We were amazed at the P .2 amount of sound that came out of it and it was perfect for 8 PI i the noise study as it reached the levels similar to what will be e at the events .

Results - 32 minutes of Testing The results of the test show the sound system was set at a level consistent with what would be allowed at the venue, and none of the boundary locations for the property showed decibel levels that went above legal limits . The results are listed by location and shown in each corresponding photo provided below. The large numbers in the top left corner of each picture signify the volume levels at the seven property locations . In the top right corner of each photo you will see the average, minimum , maximum , and peak volumes throughout the test as it went along for the duration of the test . The test started at 12 : 00 pm on May 24 and ended at 12 :32 pm on the same day. Sound System - During the test the music or "noise" was set at 102 . 6 - 109 . 6 dba and remained constant for the duration of the test . There were " peaks" in the music up to 115 . 0 dba .

We will do this by installing irrigation lines to water the trees , plant the evergreens , and once they have filled in the windbreak, we will remove the Russian Olives . We plan to have the property planted with grasses and landscaped to create a wedding ambiance over the entire property , and will maintain any growth by mowing and removing weeds , cutting trees , and basic landscape maintenance . Currently , the only pests are mosquitos , and with the cleaning and dredging of the lake , adding water flow features to maintain movement and circulation in the water , they will be controlled . Any other pests we would see would be those that attract to any garbage . We plan to have locked containers for them not to be able to open and make messes , and keep those emptied on a regular basis . 11 6162 S.

Events primarily would occur on Fridays , Saturdays , and Sundays since it will be marketed as wedding venue space . Currently , the Applicant is anticipating weddings of up to 250 people . In the event of a 250-person wedding , there are anticipated to be up to 30 staff members . Trip Generation The Applicant is anticipating that the events would host up to 250 people . To provide the most conservative estimate of the proposed trip generation , the upper limit of this estimate was considered . The Institute of Transportation Engineer's (" ITE" ) Trip Generation Handbook 11th Edition rates do not provide trip generation rates for an event use similar to the proposed use . The following assumptions were made to determine a reasonable trip generation estimate for the proposed use : • The peak hour will occur during arrival , as guests are more likely to arrive in a more condensed time period then they will depart • 85% of the total guests arrive to the event within the peak hour • 30% of the staff will arrive during the peak hour, with the rest expected to arrive prior to the guests • Auto occupancy for employees at 1 . 0 per vehicle • Auto occupancy for guests at 2 . 5 per vehicle Based on these assumptions , the site will generate up to 94 trips in the peak hour and up to 260 daily trips . The trip generation is shown in Table 1 . Trip Distribution It is expected that 85% of the trips will arrive/depart to the east as that is the shortest direction to paved roads and the remaining 15% will arrive/depart from the west. The vehicles arriving/departing along CR- 8 to the west will predominately stay on CR-8 the entire way between the venue at 1-25 . Figure 2 shows the forecasted trip distribution through the roadway network. Since the peak hour is expected to occur during arrival , the trips shown in Figure 2 are all arrival trips .

It should be noted that the peak hour of the proposed use will typically occur outside the peak hour of the adjacent street network. No adverse impacts to the surrounding network are anticipated should the proposed special use be approved . Parking The Weld County Charter and County Code does not specify the number of parking spaces required for a venue similar to the study venue . Using engineering judgement, this venue should provide as many parking spaces as the maximum number of vehicles expected . It is expected that during a 250- person wedding , there will be 130 vehicles arriving ( 100 from guests and 30 from staff) . The current plan shows a parking lot that can accommodate approximately 70 vehicles with sufficient overflow space to the north . Based on this letter's assumptions , the parking lot will be filled with a 130- 140 person event, so any larger event will need to utilize the overflow space for parking . Site Distance There is no posted speed limit along CR-8 in the near vicinity of the site , so it is assumed that vehicles will be traveling at 35 mph . Per section 8 . 6 . 2 of the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria , 386 feet of sight distance is needed for a passenger vehicle and 592 feet of sight distance is needed for trucks. Using Google Earth , it was determined that the site distance at the location of the proposed access is well over 592 feet. Traffic Management Plan A traffic management plan is not needed to maintain acceptable traffic operations through the study network, as the volume of entering and exiting vehicles is not expected to be high enough to put any nearby intersection over capacity . If the venue is looking to help guests reach the main routes in the area ( I-25 and US-85) , signage could be placed at the end of the driveway directing exiting vehicles in the direction of these routes . Conclusions The conclusions of this comparative analysis are as follows: 1 . The proposed development will generate up to 94 peak hour trips and 260 daily trips on the weekend . 2 . The majority of the trips will originate from the east. 3 . The generated trips from the proposed Strobel Wedding Venue project are expected to have minimal impacts on traffic operations on the existing roadway network. 4 . It is not expected that the generated trips will increase the ADT along CR-8 enough to warrant an upgrade in roadway category . 5 . The designated parking lot will be filled with an approximately 130- 140 person event . Any larger event will likely need to use the overflow space for parking . 6 . There will be sufficient sight distance at the venues proposed access point along CR-8 . We trust that the information contained herein satisfy the request of Weld County .

The following letter will address the existing conditions , proposed trip generation , parking analysis , site distance , and traffic impacts to the surrounding network . Existing Conditions The proposed venue is located on an approximately 12 . 6- acre lot , located on Weld County parcel numbers 146916000056 and 146921000074 . Access to the site will be located on CR-8 , which is unpaved at the location of the site . Per the Weld County Functional Classification Map , CR- 8 is classified as a collector roadway and becomes paved approximately 2 , 000 feet east of the site . CR- 19 is a north/south arterial that intersects CR- 8 approximately 2 , 000 feet east of the site . The site location is shown on Figure 1 with a full-sized site plan included in Attachment I .

It should be noted that the peak hour of the proposed use will typically occur outside the peak hour of the adjacent street network . No adverse impacts to the surrounding network are anticipated should the proposed special use be approved . Parking The Weld County Charter and County Code does not specify the number of parking spaces required for a venue similar to the study venue . Using engineering judgement , this venue should provide as many parking spaces as the maximum number of vehicles expected . It is expected that during a 250- person wedding , there will be 130 vehicles arriving ( 100 from guests and 30 from staff) . The current plan shows a parking lot that can accommodate approximately 70 vehicles with sufficient overflow space to the north . Based on this letter's assumptions , the parking lot will be filled with a 130- 140 person event , so any larger event will need to utilize the overflow space for parking . Site Distance There is no posted speed limit along CR- 8 in the near vicinity of the site , so it is assumed that vehicles will be traveling at 35 mph . Per section 8 . 6 . 2 of the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria , 386 feet of sight distance is needed for a passenger vehicle and 592 feet of sight distance is needed for trucks . Using Google Earth , it was determined that the site distance at the location of the proposed access is well over 592 feet . Conclusions The conclusions of this comparative analysis are as follows : 1 . The proposed development will generate up to 94 peak hour trips and 260 daily trips on the weekend . 2 . The majority of the trips will originate from the west along CR- 8 . 3 . The generated trips from the proposed Strobel Wedding Venue project are expected to have minimal impacts on traffic operations on the existing roadway network. 4 . It is not expected that the generated trips will increase the ADT along CR-8 enough to warrant an upgrade in roadway category . 5 . The designated parking lot will be filled with an approximately 130- 140 person event . Any larger event will likely need to use the overflow space for parking . 6 . There will be sufficient sight distance at the venues proposed access point along CR-8 . We trust that the information contained herein satisfy the request of Weld County .
