Staff comments made during this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues may arise during the remaining application process. COMMENTS GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION Project description: A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Solar Energy Facility (SEF) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This project is north of and adjacent to CR 54 and is east of and adjacent to CR 47. Parcel number: 096124300036. Access is proposed onto CR 54. ACCESS Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access. The proposed access for the SEF is onto CR 54 Freedom Parkway. This portion of CR 54 is controlled by the Freedom Parkway Access Control Plan. This Plan does include a New Access Policy. Compliance with this Policy is required prior to the County's issuance of an access permit for a point onto CR 54. The Plan can be found at the following link: https://www.weld.gov/Government/Departments/Public-Works/Transportation-Planning/Access-Control- Plans/WCR-54-ACP An access permit shall be obtained for the proposed SEF. Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. We strongly encourage you to discuss your access location with Development Review prior to laying out your site plan. All "preliminarily approved" accesses are subject to change during the access permitting process. Per Sec. 24-8-40, when feasible, there shall be no net increase in the number of accesses to a public road. Minimum access spacing widths are shown in Weld County Code Sec. 8-14-30. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access. ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY This portion of CR 54, also known as Freedom Parkway, is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires 140 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate and label on the site map the future and existing right-of- way (along with the documents creating the existing right-of-way) and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code, Sec. 23-1- 90, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. CR 47 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as a local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate and label on the site map the future and existing right-of-way (along with the documents creating the existing right-of-way) and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code, Sec. 23-1- 90, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Per, Sec. 8-13-30.B, a Weld County Right -of -Way Use Permit is required for any project that will be occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and/or encroaching upon, any County rights -of -way or easement. Right -of -Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at https://www.weldgov.com/departments/publicworks/permits/. Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate existing utilities within the County right-of-way. TRAFFIC A recent traffic count (2023) of this portion of CR 54 counted 1,413 vpd with 21% trucks. Traffic information submitted with the application materials indicates that construction traffic will be 15 roundtrips per day of which 2 may be heavy duty trucks and that the operation traffic would be 4 vehicle roundtrips per year. No additional traffic information is needed. TRACKING CONTROL Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. For access to paved roads, tracking control devices can be double cattle guards with 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft of asphalt. For access to gravel roads, tracking control devices must be either double cattle guards with 100 ft. of road base, or road base on all driving surfaces. Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control is installed ahead of construction activities. Recycled concrete is not allowed in County right-of-way. Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-way is required just prior to entering publicly maintained roadways. A variance request for alternatives to the tracking control requirement can be submitted to Development Review for review and consideration. This site requires approved tracking control during construction. ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (Construction) Development Review is requesting a Road Maintenance Agreement for Construction including, but not limited to, dust control and damage repair to specified haul routes. Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at: https://www.weldgov.com/Government/Departments/Planning-and-Zoning/Development-Review . It will detail the approved haul routes and include a maintenance agreement for the haul routes. DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS This area IS within a Non -Urbanizing Drainage Area: Non -Urbanizing Drainage Areas typically require detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm falling on the developed site and release of the detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site for NON - URBANIZING areas. The applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage report. An acceptable final drainage report and a Certificate of Compliance shall be submitted. Both shall be completed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado. Historic Flows: The applicants will be required to maintain the historic drainage flows and run-off amounts that exist from the property. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL A.

College Ave., Suite 370 Fort Collins, CO 80524 970.549.0094 Plorenz@trccompanies.com RE: CPW's Comments for Cloudbreak Energy Partners, LLC (Cloudbreak) — Island Grove Solar Project. The project area is approximately 27 acres producing 3.04 Mwac of alternating current and 3.95 MWdc of direct current. Project location is north of County Road 54, approximately 0.2 miles east of County Road 47, and approximately 0.5 miles west of County Road 49, Township 5N, Range 65W, Section 24, in Weld County. Dear Ms. Lorenz, Thank you for the opportunity for Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to comment on the proposed Cloudbreak solar project located west of Kersey, CO. The mission of CPW is to perpetuate the wildlife resources of the state, to provide a quality state parks system, and to provide enjoyable and sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities that educate and inspire current and future generations to serve as active stewards of Colorado's natural resources. CPW has a statutory responsibility to manage all wildlife species in Colorado; as such we encourage protection for Colorado's wildlife species and habitats through responsible energy development and land use planning. The protection of High Priority Habitats, big game winter ranges, and raptor nesting locations are of extreme importance to CPW. CPW recommends that all proposed projects be assessed to avoid, minimize, or mitigate impacts to sensitive wildlife habitats and species. That includes species of concern, big game winter concentration areas, breeding and nesting habitats for sensitive ground -nesting birds, and nests of raptors sensitive to development to prevent the loss of habitat or fragmentation of habitat. One way CPW achieves our mission is by responding to referral comment requests, as is the case for this Project. THE IMPORTANCE OF HIGH PRIORITY HABITATS Developers and permitting agencies can help avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to wildlife from their projects by working with CPW. HPHs are defined as sensitive habitats where CPW has recent maps regarding sensitive wildlife use, plus scientifically -backed best management practice recommendations. HPHs are a subset of CPW's Species Activity Maps that we collect and update for a variety of species and their particular habitats; we provide these maps to the public and regulatory agencies for the environmental assessment and land use commenting of proposed development on a given parcel, and general scientific research. Jeff Davis, Director, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Parks and Wildlife Commission: Carrie Besnette Hauser, Chair • Dallas May, Vice -Chair • Marie Haskett, Secretary • Taishya Adams Karen Bailey • Betsy Blecha • Gabriel Otero • Duke Phillips, IV • Richard Reading • James Jay Tutchton • Eden Vardy Cloudbreak, LLC. Island Grove Solar Project — CPW Comments (5/17/23) Page 2 of 3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THIS PROJECT CPW appreciates this formal consultation from Cloudbreak. Early consultation is our preferred time to discuss any concerns or questions about the proposed site plan. CPW does not believe this small development will have a significant impact on local wildlife or HPH habitats, especially since it is located outside of mapped High Priority Habitats. Fencing CPW recommends that any installed "wildlife exclusion" fencing should be eight feet in height, have round -capped posts (e.g., so wildlife aren't impaled), smooth top wire to the fence (e.g., no top barbed wire) (or if two top strands are needed, ensures they are at least six inches apart). The bottom wire can be barbed but should be four inches or less from the ground. Also, CPW requests that the solar facility be checked regularly (or structures are installed) to allow animals to escape if a deer or other species of wildlife become trapped in the facility. CPW also requests at least an annual summary of wildlife species that become trapped within the security fencing and/or collide with the panels or wires and become injured or worse. Noxious Weeds and Native Re -seeding Also of importance to CPW is the revegetation of disturbed soils and the control of noxious weed species through the development of a noxious weed management plan prior to initiating construction activities. The revegetation of disturbed areas and control of invasive weed species are important components of the project and it is critically important that the site be restored back to the native plant community that currently exists on site. CPW prefers that native vegetation be retained on -site during the operational lifespan of the project, both as potential habitat for wildlife and to ensure successful reclamation of the Project area, as noxious weeds could spread to adjacent habitats outside the Project area. Other Best Management Practices For any transmission lines to this project, CPW recommends they are installed according to Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC) standards and outside the raptor nesting season. Also, please install bird diverters within 1/4 -mile of any lake, drainage, or riparian area, and within the raptor nesting buffer for any occupied nests. In closing, CPW requests from Cloudbreak and the Weld County Planning Department for us to continue to be involved with this project as it moves through the permitting process. CPW also continues to appreciate the collaboration with the Weld County Planning Department as we jointly strive for responsible energy development while protecting sensitive species and their habitats. If the timing or scope of this project changes and/or if you have any questions regarding this letter or for future solar inquiries, please contact CPW District Wildlife Manager Michael Grooms at 970.692.4028 or via email at michael.grooms@state.co.us.
