Do you have time to talk live Today or Monday? I just want to talk a little about the next meeting. Shannon Picking up where we left our conversation yesterday, is it your intent to ask the applicant about moving their BOCC hearing to 6/14, as we discussed? I believe you mentioned a Violation Letter was mailed to them yesterday. Moving it back a week would afford them additional time to address the violation. Thoughts? Jess Reid Deputy Clerk to the Board Weld County 1150 O Street Greeley, CO 80631 tel: 970-400-4212 MEMORANDUM To: Kim Ogle, Principal Planner From: Bethany Pascoe, Code Compliance Officer II Subject: USR23-0004 Referral May 17, 2023 Upon receipt of multiple complaints, followed by a visual inspection of the property from County Road 3, an active Code Violation (CCV23-00089) was noted. This violation was initiated due to the presence of more than 4 (four) dogs, the presence of a sign advertising a commercial business prior to USR23-0004 being recorded as well as the parking of passenger vehicles inside an Agriculturally Exempt structure. This case has not yet been forwarded to the County Attorney's Office; therefore, an investigation fee NOT required. Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is staff's policy to no longer accept staff -initiated complaints without there being a safety component to the complaint. If this application is approved, all conditions of approval completed and the final (USR) map is recorded as well as all building permits obtained and finalized, the Code Violation (CCV21-00023) would then be closed. If this application is denied, within 30 (thirty) days of denial, all but 4 (four) dogs could be on the property at any given time. all commercial signage would need to be removed and the buildings would either need to be returned to their permitted use or appropriately permitted for their current usage; otherwise, the violation case would progress accordingly. If this application is approved, all Conditions of Approval shall be completed and a final map shall be prepared, submitted to and recorded by the assigned Planner with the Department of Planning Services within 120 days of approval. Additionally, any required building permits would need to be pulled and finalized prior to the closure of this violation case.

Melissa has been a blessing in our lives. It is so important to us that our beloved puppy is well taken care of when we travel and our girl loves spending time with Melissa. We first met Melissa when she worked at the Erie Veterinary clinic. Melissa went above and beyond with our pet's care. We later learned that Melissa had successfully showed her dog that happened to be the same dog breed as ours. Many times I have personally witnessed Melissa's calm, kind, yet commanding presence with many other breeds of dogs. They (the dogs) and we all love her. Melissa is a true professional in how she conducts herself and runs her business. Appointments are scheduled ahead in a timely manner with Melissa greeting us. We are especially pleased with the double gated safe entry/containment to the well -designed dog pen. At all times our dog and other dogs present have behaved and played well together. Melissa is in complete control and the dogs are truly happy with her. It is because Melissa has such a high level of integrity that I offered to write this reference for her. Having lived in Erie we value animals and the rural lifestyle that Weld County affords. We need good people to look after our beloved pets and there is no one better at this than Melissa. I urge everyone to take the time to get to know Melissa and see what a beautiful person she is. Melissa is an asset to Weld County and operates her business in a highly professional manner. How wonderful it will be to see a woman in business be successful in Weld County. Let us all support this goal. I offer the highest recommendation that Melissa Kittler be awarded the necessary permits to conduct her business in Weld County. r.

Having worked in a small business (Kestrel Labs, Inc.) that I helped found over two decades ago, I can personally attest to the quality of business that Melissa Kittler has created. It is these types of small businesses that have a positive effect on the local economy and improve the quality of life in the Front Range. The service she provides is essential to the work community as we often need our pets looked after due to work travel, ill health, or vacations. In a short time, Ms. Kittler has created a well -managed facility where dogs are safe and closely monitored. Her prior involvement in, and close contacts with, the local veterinary medicine community, along with her long history with dog training, provide an assurance that the pets in her care will be safe and healthy throughout their stay. She has made an investment to create a secure facility where we know our dogs have the freedom to play but are also safe from predators.

I was referred to Melissa Kitler about a year ago by a very dear friend. I had been referred there on several occasions by various people but chose this friend's referral to initiate a contact to Melissa. Melissa was very professional and kind on the phone. She recommended I visit her place to get a feel for it and to meet her. She indicated that it was important for the animal owner to feel comfortable in a doggy daycare setting as much as it was for her to determine if my beloved animal was a good fit. I loved that her daycare was off the beaten path and not in a house only subdivision. The large area that she had for the dogs to play, and exercise was just amazing. There were horses. tractors, and farm equipment all around her property, even an ATV with kids driving down the dirt road. The environment was exactly what I was looking for. Room to move. Room to exercise. Room to be country! Then I met Mel. She was kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and fully engrossed in the business of loving the animals around her. You could tell they loved her. You could tell she loved each one of them. It didn't take long to feel this was a place for both our Holly and Lena. I can't imagine having to locate another place for my animals to feel at home away from home. The energy they get to release when they are there helps me feel ok with the fact that I can't be home with them daily. I'm not sure why someone would have a grievance toward her or her daycare. She has waited so long to have just this kind of place...her place. A place where she could do what she loves with the animals she loves. Is it any different than someone out there with horses, or cattle, or tractors? Aren't they all trying to do what they love in a country setting'? The benefits of Mel's Place are tremendous. She is one of the very few exceptional doggie day cares in our area. So far, she has been the only one I trusted. Melissa Kitler chose her home to be the sanctuary for all dogs small and large. She chooses her clients well as I have never had to worry about the safety of my animals. She is knowledgeable, personable, professional, and above all else kind. Kind to people, kind to animals. I just can't imagine that you couldn't find a better neighbor if one was to give it a trti .

We brought a new puppy, Granger, into our home last fall, and I knew that we would need to have some help outside of the house; my husband and I work outside of the home, and we don't have any family near us. I asked around as well as toured numerous facilities before settling on Mel's Dog House. It was a convenient location for our house and by far the best laid out, well -run and clean facility I saw. I took Granger for a trial play date and knew upon dropping him off that this would be my choice. She has a very well -thought-out design that helps to keep not only the dogs safe but also the owners who are dropping them off and picking them up. It is always immaculately clean; I have never seen any sign of dog feces or trash. She is always outside with the dogs when I drop them off and pick them up. She is incredibly responsive and responsible. Granger is always happy to see her, and I know well cared for throughout the day when I pick him up. Due to her not being in business currently, we had to take our beloved pet to family 5 hours away to stay while we go on vacation because there was no one else local that I trusted as much as I do Mel. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any other questions or concerns. My husband and I 100% support Mel and the way she runs her business. Thank you for your time and consideration.

As you know, the Planning Board approved this use, 5 —1. I have recommended to Melissa that she relocate the entrance to her business to another location as the noise occurs when customer's pets are delivered or picked up. Her facility is so large with fenced backyards that the dogs are unlikely to bark, and the yards are much further from the neighbors. > We are very familiar with the operation of Dog Daycare and Boarding businesses as we built and operated such a business in North Carolina for 7 years and sold it in 2011 to move to Colorado. Our business had a 10,000 square foot building, a 3 1/2 acre site, swimming pool, webcams, etc. We could have as many as 150 dogs on site on a holiday weekend. Although our property adjoined both residential and industrial neighbors, we never had a noise complaint in 7 years. As an Elected Commissioner in Cornelius, NC, for 10 years I also led a successful project to build an animal shelter. That shelter had both indoor and outdoor runs and was across the street from a residential neighborhood. Again, there were no noise complaints. > We strongly urge you to approve this use.

Re: USR23-0004 Shannon Kemp Applicant Dear Weld County Commissioners: I am the Personal Representative for the Felton Family Estate that owns 1105 County Road 28. I am reaching out concerning the Special Use Permit being sought by Shannon Kemp and Melissa Kittler for the dog kennel. I understand that they are seeking a permit for a 45 -dog kenneling business. This will greatly decrease property values, will cause distress to local livestock, and will disrupt the occupants of the homes near the kennel. It is incompatible with the area. Our family has lived on our several properties in the neighborhood since 1976. We have watched the area change as more homes are built around us. Throughout this evolution, Weld County, to its credit, has consistently maintained the zoning as intended. The surrounding roads were not built to withstand commercial traffic and the intersection of County Road 3 and Highway 66 is dangerous enough without the added traffic. Ms. Kittler has made it clear that she has little to no concern for the surrounding neighbors and has no respect for the permits required for this sort of establishment. From the beginning, she has been boarding more dogs than she stated to the planning board and seems to have no issue ignoring the proper procedures and protocols set by the county. Her blatant disregard for the permitting requirements and the occupants of the homes around her proposed facility will no doubt devalue the surrounding properties. Beyond disturbances from the dogs and depressed resale values of the surrounding properties, Ms Kittler doesn't seem to understand that permitting is not just bureaucratic hoops to jump through but are put in place as safety measures. There are no proper facilities for the staff required to run a 45 -dog facility, and she seems to have no concerns about the water pollution that comes from a facility containing so many dogs in an area that relies on irrigation water. Also, she does not seem to be concerned about the stress this can put on the already established livestock as well as the stress of increased traffic. Her blatant disregard for the surrounding neighbors and the environmental consequences of her actions are concerning to say the least. She has already proven that she is willing to disregard the state and county laws to run her business, and it is safe to assume that she will continue to ignore these laws and regulations in the future. 1 If she wanted to run a commercial business, she should have purchased commercial property Thank you, Kelly Tienken Felton Family Estate 1105 County Road 3 Longmont, CO 80504 Kelly@tienkenlaw com Kelly Tienken 303-579-7098 Kelly@bosscolorado com www bosscolorado com 2 Jessica Reid From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Kim Ogle Tuesday, July 11, 2023 6:22 AM Jessica Reid CTB FW: Case #USR23-0004 Hello, Another addition to the Kemp USR23-0004 File Kim Ogle Principal Planner Weld County Planning Services 1402 N. 17th Avenue I Greeley 970.400.6100 Office 970.400.3549 Direct kogle@weld.gov Confidentiality Notice: This electronic transmission and any attached documents or other writings are intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.

Hello Kim I'm contacting you in regards to the above case # for Melissa Kittler and Shannon Kemp. Myself and Brie Fowler worked hard to find them a home where they could have their doggy daycare/kennel. This home seemed to check all of the boxes. Early on we worked with Max Nader who was super kind and helpful. He let us know requirements and things they needed to do for consideration of opening this business. They have worked tirelessly to do everything asked of them to get everything up to county standards to assure their dream of having this business comes to fruition. I have been friends with Melissa for 12 years, all of which she has taken exceptional care of my own dogs. Both her and Shannon are responsible, courteous, respectful and compassionate. I wanted to send you a note just to say I know they will do everything expected to make sure there are no negative effects to the surrounding properties. I just wanted to send approval from past experiences and my unwavering support of her as a person and business owner. I would be happy to answer any questions if you have, otherwise hope that the county approves her request for this business. It's a much needed service in our area and I know they will be a fantastic addition to businesses in Weld County.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. To the Weld County Commissioners: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician in Colorado. I am writing in favor of granting Shannon Kemp/Mel's Dog House the permit they seek. My dogs have been clients of Mel's Dog House and I cannot say enough good things about this operation. Melissa Kittler is one of the best dog trainers I have met in my career. I am also on the board of a non-profit canine rescue and have sent some of our more difficult dogs to Mel's Dog House for assistance. Melissa has been able to incorporate them into the pack and thus teach them how to behave and act like well adjusted dogs. We have then been able to successfully adopt them out to loving homes. I have witnessed how clean Melissa keeps the entire property and how she keeps the dogs engaged so they are content and therefore not standing around barking, digging or fighting, which are behaviors I have seen at other daycares. We desperately need a daycare like Melissa offers and I beg you to allow this operation to move forward.

I have two Portuguese Water Dogs, one that is five and the other that is about 2 1/2. I had been bringing the dogs for day care a couple of times a week at Mel's and have left them there in Mel's care while we were out of the country on three extended vacations. I have been delighted with the care that Melissa and her crew have provided for our dogs and the wonderful grounds that she has for the dogs to play and exercise. I have had a hard time finding a place that I were confident enough to leave the dogs for an e xtended time, so the area definitely needs additional pet care facilities. My dogs love going to Mel's and it has been a huge help to us both for day care and for e xtended care. Melissa has already made investments to address the situations that lead to the dogs being e xcited and barking and has expressed a willingness to take additional steps if necessary. I urge you to approve Melissa's application. Fred L. Forman Broomfield, Colorado Susan Forman: To Whom It May Concern: I am shocked and dismayed to learn that anyone living in Colorado, the most dog friendly state, would want to discourage a business that provides dogs a safe, loving, caring, fun place to be while their owners are unable to provide this for them. Mel's is a godsend for those of us that have pets that need the service Melissa provides. It is hard to find a place where pups are not just put into kennels with little to no exercise. This is the best situation for my pets, and it will break our hearts to not have "Mel's House" for our dogs. Susan Forman A Broomfield, Colorado Ellie Chiampa & Tim Lohrenz: To Whom It May Concern: It was King Frederick II of Prussia who coined the phrase, f'dog is,man's best friend" ,back in the , 18th century. It was true then and is true today. This symbiotic relationship benefits humans in any number of ways including building family ties as well as reducing many health risks. •, Until dogs are permitted,taaccompany,us wherever we go or,locations we visit, we need to have a place where they can be cared for as they are cared for at home. Mel's Doghouse is such a place. , Melissa is a dog owner herself and treats her dog guests as her own. We've found her to be conscientious and considerate of our requests and our dogs' -;needs. She provides a safe environment for the dogs in her care. Before Melissa,accepts a dog to stay;with iher, she' must be convinced the dog -is friendly toward other dogs and people, and comfortable with the environment. All dogs must spend,several hours at Mel's Doghouse so she can observe and evaluate them before they are accepted for day care and/or boarding. We appreciate this level of caution and responsibility for our -dogs' safety and our peace of mind. , Our dogs are truly our best friends, and we want the very best care for them. Please consider Mel's Doghouse request for licensure. Ellie Chiampa & Tim Lohrenz Golden, Colorado Nancy Todd: To Whom It May Concern. Mel's Doghouse has provided,a useful service for us, enabling us to provide stable, controlled and safe accommodations for Ranger; our, 31# English Cocker Spaniel, during a health,crisis at our house. a Mel provided consistent,supervisiop,for Ranger. That was especially important to - , r us because we aren'tfaccustomed to boarding,him and he's not accustomed to being,boarded He was not confined to a crate, and he was not out running wild all day either. Mel knew where he was and what he was doing anytime we called. When he came home, he was clearly well cared for, fed according to his diet, and, yes, tired. - , We needed to take him back to Mel's shortly after his first visit and were pleased to observe that he` was happy to go there and greeted Mel heartily - to 'me the sign'of a dog feeling safe and controlled in an environment. _ I observed that there was an outdoor shelter/barn for the animals, that the few dogs that I saw on that second visit were responsive to Mel's directions and, while clearly playing with each other, they were not running wild and were not barking excessively - occasional barks as you might expect from dogs engaged in play. "'It seemed to us to be a well -managed and controlled environment designed to keep dogs safe and -happy. Nancy Todd , Broomfield, Colorado' King Ranch Wedding Venue — 2020 In the summer of 2020 the residents at 13538 County Road 3 began hosting weddings. A false address i � °nom i+'�,,ki��":�'"'.�r:E�;4jw+eve-<,- �r� was placed at the end of the driveway to direct traffic to the venue: ENo noficewas postedfftir� a"change of zoni g. The documents attached explain the resistance to this by neighbors on the street Mr. Ogle was made aware of the Francises/Kings operating in violation of codes yet gave them permission to host events in September and October through a special review process. Additionally, when I requested that Mr. Francis fence off'a dump he was creating on the back end of his property, Hannah Dutrow, Zoning Compliance Officer, told me to wait for another wedding violation to take place so both violations would be taken to court at once. Separately filing could cause the dump violation to be thrown out. In retrospect, I find that difficult to believe. Craig and Brenna King 13538 County Road 3 Longmont, CO 80504 303-261-7195 craigandrewking@gmail corn September 10, 2020 Dear Neighbor, We would like to invite you to a meeting of people who live near our property to discuss a new proposed use as an event venue. The meeting will be at our property on,Sunday, September 20 at 11:00am We are currently undergoing the use by special review process with Weld County. We want to answer any questions you may have and work together on a plan to mitigate any effect the event venue may have on you or your property If you wish to participate but would prefer to teleconference, perhaps because of concerns around COVID-19, please call or email us. We will work with you to allow you to participate remotely. The county is allowing us to hold events while we go through the special review process. We have events planned for September 12, October 3, and October 10 We realize that the September 12 event is before our meeting on September 20; if you have any pressing concerns before that date, please call or email to let us know. Please contact Craig at 303-261-7195 with any questions Sincerely, Craig and Brenna King ° We the undersigned residents of Weld County Road 3 and Weld County Road 28 are opposed to any changes in the zoning at 13538 Weld County Road 3, Longmont, Colorado 80504 (Parcel*: 120729001003) for the following reasons: The property situated in Lake Meadow Subdivision is zoned A-2 (limited agricultural activity). Changing the zoning for the purpose of an event/wedding venue will disrupt the rural nature of the area. Recent events hosted at the property with a temporary permit solidified our stance against rezoning taany classification other than A-2. By not having the proper licensing, the commercial use of the home and shop has not been addressed by Fire and Building Occupancy authorities. The events have disrupted the peaceful environment of the neighborhood in addition to arguably devaluating our properties. There is loss of privacy, instances of trespass and increased trash. Loud music and crowd noise heard by residents prompted complaints to the Sheriffs department. Excessive lighting floods neighboring properties. Increased activity causes distress to horses and other farm animals. The dirt road is not adequate to sustain the traffic from their advertised "up to 250 guests". The unlicensed use of alcohol on the property is also a concern. Thank you for considering these pertinent points concerning our farms and homes.

Explain the proposed use and business name. The proposed business name is Mel's Dog House. We are applying for a Use by Special Review Permit for a doggy daycare and boarding facility for up to 45 dogs with the possibility of expansion in the future. The applicant/investor, Shannon Kemp seeks to permit the facility at the residence located on an 8.8 -acre parcel within a platted subdivision. The proposed business will offer daycare for dogs from 7am-6pm Monday -Friday with overnight boarding options for dogs needing care while their owners are out of town. Ms. Kemp does not currently live on the property. The manager of the kennel, Mellissa Kittler, lives on the property full time. Additional employees will be hired as the number of dogs at the facility increases. The supervisor -dog ratio will be within the limits of PACFA (Pet Animal Care Facilities Act). 2. Explain the need for the proposed use. Full time working dog owners often need help caring for their dogs while they are working 8 -10 -hour days. Additionally, Mel's Dog House would offer a safe place for dog's to stay while families are out of town for vacations or work trips. The goal of the business would be offer the community affordable and safe care for their dogs for the day or for extended periods of time. All dogs enrolled at Mel's Dog House will be supervised and cared for by trained and compassionate staff. The business manager, Melissa, has over 20 years of experience working in kennel operations in the state of Colorado, Melissa has always loved working with dogs because they show us the importance of friendship, love, and loyalty. 3. Describe the current and previous use of the land, The current and previous use of the land is detached residential. 4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences. The proposed use is approximately 390' from the residence to the northwest, 700' from the residence to the north east and 380' to the residence to the south west. 5. Describe the surrounding land uses of the site and how the proposed use is compatible with them. The surrounding land uses of the site include rural residential properties and agricultural fields. Many of •- the surrounding properties have farm animals living on the property. It is not uncommon for kenneling facilities to be surrounded by agricultural fields and rural residential properties because the open space is conducive to the space needed for animals to roam and play. The property has ample space for the business, the existing residential use and possible expansion in the future. 6. Describe the hours and days of operation (i.e. Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Doggy Daycare: Monday -Friday 7:OOam-6:OOpm Overnight Boarding Only- Saturday -Sunday 10:OOam-4:OOpm The proposed business would have operating hours of Monday -Friday 7:OOAM-6:OOPM and boarding hours Saturday -Sunday 10:00AM-4:OOPM.

I wanted to reach out to my neighbors to explain a little bit of our story and what were doing at 13676 County Road 3 and give you some information about the nature of our new business, its potential impact on our neighborhood, and the steps I will take to minimize this impact, My business partner Shannon and I are trying to build a dream I've had for many, many years. Dog behavior and pack mentality is something I truly love and have a passion for. We are trying to create an awesome environment for dogs to come play, be social, exercise, and learn to be part of a pack_ I've been working with dogs out of my home for many years. It got to a point where I had enough dogs to watch that I was able to do it full time 1 just needed help to find some property to do this. Shannon suggested she would like to help make this dream happen. Once we found the perfect property, we started building the dream. We have been working on the long process of getting all the permits, soil, water, traffic, n oise testing. PACFA license, and more. We put in a lot of thought and consideration on where to put the dog yards. Our biggest concern was making sure the business wouldn't impact the neighbors. Business hours are 7 am to 6 pm on weekdays. Clients usually arrive over a period of 2 o r more hours in the morning and leave during a similar manner in the late afternoon. This reduces the number of vehicles likely to stop at the home at one time. Clients are encouraged to escort the dog with a leash safely to and from cars. While dogs are in my care, my partner and I are responsible for their supervision at all times. We make sure barking is kept to a minimum. We want nothing more than all our neighbors to be okay with us joining the n eighborhood. If you have questions or concerns, or if you would like me to consider other impacts to our neighborhood, please contact me. Gathering your input now will help me to better plan my business and prevent issues that might arise in the future. Feel free to call or email me, or to arrange a time to stop by. We are almost to the finish line to become official . The hearing will be held May 2nd, in the Commissioners Hearing Room in Greeley.

According to a New York Times investigation of the impacts of noise published last month, exposure to chronic noise — like blaring traits hams, clattering traffic on a nearby highway, or yes, airplanes flying overhead — increases the risk of negative health outcomes. Unpleasant sounds, the newspaper reported, register with the amygdala — the brain's stress detection center --which in turn pushes the endocrine system into overdrive, flooding the body with cortisol and adrenaline. A quickened heart rate and high blood pressure often result. "Over time, these changes can lead to inflammation, hypertension and plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and stroke," The Tunes wrote. 6 Unsettling Facts About Dog Waste 1. Dog waste is not fertilizer for your lawn. In its raw form, it can actually be toxic to your soil. Dog waste needs to first be safely composted in an enclosed system before being considered a beneficial aid to the environment. 2. Just one gram of dog waste can contain as many as 23 million Fecal Coliform bacteria. Waste can seep into groundwater and spread salmonella and giardia. This poses a hazard to your pets, your family and your landscape. 3. Your lawn mower doesn't help, in fact it can make it worse. Mowers can actually chop up the waste into smaller pieces and spread it further throughout your yard where you, your children and your pets continue to step in it and then bring it into your home. 4. Dog fecal matter is a major contributor to stormwater pollution. One out of three households have at least one dog, and all that dog poop left out can be blown into storm drains which lead to our waterways. Whn in water, the liquified waste consumes the oxygen and releases ammonia which contaminates our water resources and contibutes to algal blooms. This makes it harmful to fish and other aquatic life, and potentially to humans as well. 5. If you don't pick it up, it piles up...fast. The average dog discards approximately three quarters of a pound of waste per day, which adds up to 275 pounds per year. Your yard may be more polluted than you think! 6. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) confirms that hookworms, ringworms, tapeworms and Salmonella can be spread by contact with infected dog waste. It can take over a year for dog waste to decay, but even when it has visibly disappeared, the parasite eggs it contained can linger on for years in your soil - leaving your family and your pets vulnerable to serious infection. kenne H e��u 6-_5 ' 'ro`posed,dogl�_shousiing u0,16 0F;dogs,willsbe,addressed bywthe,Greeley..Commiss oners June, e ', dy ,m,'� , y'„ , ,r ;' r +•,,, _, m ,r ,ra `, \ _ r � r" 3' v' S" z >r}< •'a1, 7 'rF f, propertyis�;;directly';south;of',the�'kennel.

Hathaway@Greeleygov.com To. 'C B' s_barnes@msn.com Date: Wed, May 24, 2023, 5:01 PM Hi Cathy, It was good speaking with you earlier this afternoon. After looking at your email it appears that this project is out of my jurisdiction, I work within the City of Greeley's boundaries and it appears that this is under the jurisdiction of Weld County. My counterpart in Weld County is Lyndsay Holbrook and her email is iolbrook@weldgov.com if you would like to reach out to her about your concerns. I absolutely agree with your concerns and I wish you the best of luck in your efforts! Thank you, Greeley Measurements were taken from the top of Road 3 and State Highway 66 and the bottom of Road 3 at Union (Caulkins) Reservoir. There is a slope of 98 feet. The slope from the backend of my property is on a south-southwest plane. This photo is the front end of my property facing directly West. Drainage (storm water) is shown flowing down in a SSW direction and emptying both onto my neighbors to the south and into a/irrigation ditch which flows down hill and empties into Union Reservoir. A view from my back door facing NNE showing the slope of the fields and dog fencing. Drainage will bring fecal contamination down to my fields and to my backyard. Picture showing water flow from Kemp Kennels to my (Barnes') home. -se. •..c: S.=' y- - y�� _•1 - ,J•.1i �_ so -La;- .i {4T. - $ {&• S..y 1.�...S ,. 4* Hello
