Use by Special Review - Medium Scale Solar Energy Facility
Questionnaire for Lincoln Solar LLC, PID 070713000033
1. Explain the proposed use and business name.
SunShare LLC, d/b/a Lincoln Solar LLC proposes a Medium -Scale Solar Energy Facility (SEF) to be
placed at Weld County PID 070713000033. The SEF will have a capacity of 5,000 kW AC and will
cover approximately 35.10 acres on the northern portion of the total parcel.
This SEF is constructed through Xcel Energy's Solar*Rewards Community Program. This program
was implemented by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission in 2010 and mandates that Xcel
work with independent, third -party solar developers to provide local energy production at the
electric distribution level and provide ratepayers with the option to choose their energy source.
This program combats potential full monopolization by Xcel in the generation and sale of energy
to customers in Xcel territory. Furthermore, in order to win an award for our Lincoln solar garden,
SunShare had to compete against numerous other solar developers in a selective RFP process — a
process which ultimately yields the best prices and quality of work for consumers.
SunShare's Lincoln solar garden will allow for a safe and well-timed addition of energy to the grid.
Distributed energy projects like this have the added benefit of strengthening the local electric grid
and creating a more resilient local electricity system. This project, and its relatively small footprint,
will completement Weld County's numerous other energy generation industries and County's
place as the energy capital of Colorado.
The Lincoln solar garden will allow consumers to have a choice in their energy supply. With the
construction of this project, Xcel customers in Weld County and all throughout the front range
will have the ability to decide if they would like to subscribe to a portion of the solar array's output,
thereby giving them 100% solar energy (an alternative to Xcel's one and only choice for
consumers).
2. Explain the need for the proposed use.
This project meets a multitude of needs in the community:
• The Landowner currently uses the land to grow corn, wheat, and millet, but does not own any
water rights and only has a coffin well. There is not enough water to properly irrigate the full
parcel, and as a result the north end of the property is very low -yielding due to a combination of
poor soil and lack of water. Additionally, the reliance on renting water creates immense risk and
vulnerability for the landowner, especially in regard to their income. Leasing the land will allow
the landowner to allocate more energy and resources to their high -yield areas of the field (thus
promoting continued agricultural use) and decrease their reliance on a scarce resource.
• Using this land for solar will also allow the land to generate a higher and more stable source of
income than the low -yield crops that were formerly produced on this section of the land.
1724 Gilpin Street, Denver, CO 80218 • info@mysunshare.com • 800.793.0786 •
., Share
• Residents in Xcel territory have not traditionally had a choice in who their utility provider is
and where their energy comes from. Community solar solves this issue by providing
ratepayers with an opportunity for choice, and an option to choose locally generated
electricity.
• Weld County, and Colorado as a whole, is experiencing massive growth in electricity
consumption. More electricity generation is needed to meet this need. Local solar projects
like this help the state and county diversify its electricity sources and have local generation
that result in a more stable and resilient grid. Weld County has long been the energy capital
of Colorado and adding solar in the County will further diversify the County's energy mix and
further its role as an energy leader in Colorado.
• Weld County's Comprehensive plan specifically calls out a goal of supporting "responsible
energy and mineral development." This project meets the definition of responsible (see
answer to question 21).
3. Describe the current and previous use of the land.
The specific location of the project has been and is used for agriculture, specifically for growing
corn, wheat, and millet. The landowner does not own any water rights and is unable to secure
any significant value from the northern portion of the parcel (where the proposed SEF is to be
located) due to its low -yield and high demand for water. The landowner has leased a portion of
her land to us and will farm the remaining portion. We have specifically designed our proposed
SEF to allow for the best possible layout for farming. Our landowner, Cheri Dent, is in strong favor
of this project and has written a letter to express her support, enclosed in this application.
This land is not currently incorporated into the city limits of any city in Weld County but does lie
within the Town of Ault's Intergovernmental Agreement zone.
4. Describe the proximity of the proposed use to residences.
There are three dwellings located on the same parcel as the SEF. These dwellings are owned by
the landowner, who has not asked for any screening for her specific properties. The dwellings are
all located over 1,000 ft from the project.
Outside of the parcel, there are two parcels with residences directly north of the project area.
These parcels are on the opposite side of WCR 14 from the project area, roughly 100 ft
away. These neighbors have been informed of this project and have presented no concerns or
objections. SunShare will utilize fencing to screen the system from neighbors. Please see the
Fencing/Screening Plan included in this application.
The SEF will not produce any noise pollution; solar arrays are nearly silent.

The table above demonstrates that the surrounding area is used for a variety of purposes.
From a health and safety perspective, solar is a compatible use for the surrounding lands. It
produces no airborne or soil -leaching contaminants, making it safe for the nearby residences,
businesses, and agricultural production. This addition will pose no health or safety threat to these
uses.
Solar also produces no noise pollution, and the proposed project will be adequately screened from
any residences who fall within the 500 ft buffer (see Fencing/Screening Plan). The SEF is an
unmanned facility and will only have 1-2 vehicles travelling to the site per quarter for regular
maintenance.
Solar is a safe and non -disruptive use for this particular parcel; it is primed to be placed amidst an
area with various uses.
SunShare has already notified the landowners who neighbor this project (See Notices to
Neighboring Landowners and has received no protestations against, or concerns over, our
proposed use to date.

., Share
6. Describe the hours and days of operation (i.e., Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
Once construction is complete, the SEF will continuously operate 24/7, but only producing power
during daylight hours. The proposed SEF will use single -axis trackers, which will angle the solar
modules accordingly as the sun shifts in the sky. These trackers allow for maximized energy
production. While the array will be running all day, it will create no disturbances. Solar arrays are
nearly silent and produce no smoke, smog, vapors, or dust. Construction will run during normal
business hours for the duration of about 3 months.
7. Describe the number of employees including full-time, part-time and contractors. If shift work is
proposed, detail number of employees, schedule and duration of shifts.
During construction: Construction during daytime hours will range from 7 to 14 during the early
mobilization and site preparation stage with site construction workers peaking at 50 to 60 workers
midway through the project and reducing back down to 7 and 14 workers during the final
commissioning and testing stage.
Once operational: The SEF will have a maintenance crew visit once quarterly (or as needed if
damage occurs due to weather), otherwise the SEF will be unmanned.
8. Describe the maximum number of users, patrons, members, buyers or other visitors that the site
will accommodate at any one time.
N/A. This proposed use will be for energy production only and will not host patrons, etc.
9. List the types and maximum numbers of animals to be on the site at any one time (for dairies,
livestock, confinement operations, kennels, etc.).
SunShare values the prominence of agriculture in Weld County, and we often make efforts to
support the industry when constructing SEFs. One practice that we offer at our SEF is working
with a local Weld County sheep rancher (with whom we have a pre-existing partnership), offering
our site as grazing land for his sheep. This allows for the SEF site's vegetation to be maintained,
while benefitting a local rancher (rather than employing mechanical mowers). We will have to
complete a more thorough analysis of the current vegetation of the area to determine if there is
enough growth for the sheep, and if it is all safe for the sheep.
Should we move forward with sheep grazing, there will be approximately 60 sheep present onsite.
The site will be fully fenced in, containing the sheep, and the rancher will have access to the site
whenever needed. The sheep will visit for a few weeks at a time, as frequently as needed onsite.
10. List the types and number of operating and processing equipment.
There will be approximately 11,024 540w monocrystalline modules, forty 125kVA inverters, and
106 rows of single -axis trackers. The system consists of string level DC to AC conversion inverters,
two main equipment pads with AC Recombiners, switchgear and MV step up transformers that
connect to Xcel's grid.

., Share
11. List the types, number and uses of the existing and proposed structures.
Currently there are three dwellings, one barn, one garage/workshop, and two small sheds onsite,
however none of these are within 1,000 feet of the proposed SEF site and will not interact with
the SEF in any capacity.
There will be no structures associated with the proposed solar facility other than the solar array
itself, which will be used for energy generation.
12. Describe the size of any stockpile, storage or waste areas.
During the construction phase, there will be a materials and equipment laydown yard located on
the interior of the facility. This laydown area will be approximately 50' X 250' in size. When the
construction is completed, there will be in place a metal connex container for storing spare
modules and other spare parts.
13. Describe the method and time schedule of removal or disposal of debris, junk and other wastes
associated with the proposed use.
During the construction phase, waste will be stored in refuge dumpsters, which will be emptied
on a regular basis or as needed. Once the facility is operational, there will be no waste or refuge
produced from the solar operation.
14. Include a timetable showing the periods of time required for the construction of the operation.

asphalt, gravel, landscaping, dirt, grass, buildings).
The subject area (35.1 acres on the north half of the parcel) is currently agricultural land and will
need to be re -seeded within the construction area. Following the completion of the construction
for each phase, disturbed areas within the limits of construction, such as roadcuts, utility trenches,
and other areas where vegetation has been removed, altered, or eliminated, will be reseeded
with native seed mix.
There will be approximately 25,000 square feet of gravel area including the gravel access, gravel
laydown, and the hammerhead turnaround There will be two (2) concrete transformer pads, each
measuring approximately 48 square feet, for a total of 96 square feet of concrete area.

16. How many parking spaces are proposed? How many handicap -accessible parking spaces are
proposed?
There will be two (2) internal parking spaces for vehicles servicing the facility. There will be no
ADA parking spaces, as this is not a facility for general public use.
17. Describe the existing and proposed fencing and screening for the site including all parking and
outdoor storage areas.
To comply with the National Electric Code, there will be an 8' tall game fence installed around the
entire perimeter of the site. The fence and gate will be constructed of 4" X 4" welded rod material.
The two (2) internal parking spaces will be screened by the solar array. There will be no outdoor
storage associated with this proposed solar facility.
18. Describe the existing and proposed landscaping for the site.
The entire affected area of the parcel has been used for agricultural purposes and has been
covered by crops, albeit low -yield and unproductive crops. The remainder of the parcel has also
been used for agriculture. The unaffected area's landscaping will not change. Once the
construction phase is completed, the affected area within the solar facility fence will be seeded
with a native seed mixture. SunShare will employ fencing, rather than vegetation, to screen the
SEF from nearby neighbors. Fencing requires minimal maintenance and no additional water.
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.
Once the site is no longer used for the proposed solar facility, the panels, racking, cabling,
inverters, and all associated equipment will be removed from the site and recycled and/or
disposed of in a responsible manner. The site will be returned to the condition it was in prior to
the solar facility being constructed with the exception of certain site improvements desired by
the landowner or system design such as re -grading, leveling, vegetation, and/or soil
improvements. Solar leaves behind no ground contamination, so there will be no hazardous
elements left behind on the land.
20. Describe the proposed fire protection measures.
The subject property is within the Ault Fire Protection District. Fire access within the facility will
be via a 20' -wide gravel driveway, with a hammerhead turnaround at the end of the drive. Grasses
within the solar facility will be mowed as needed, to help prevent the spread of range fires.
Maintenance will be performed regularly each quarter, as well as on an as -needed basis, to
monitor and maintain the electrical wiring of the system.
21. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan per Chapter 22
of the Weld County Code.

The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses goals and objectives for natural resources (Weld
County Code, Chapter 22, Sec.22-2-60). The proposed use of the subject property as a solar power
generation facility is consistent with the goals and policies of this section.
Section B states one goal of Weld County's is "Support responsible energy and mineral
development." The County outlines the steps for this goal, and these following steps, in
particular, are supported by the SEF:
"3. Require that energy and mineral resource development conserve the land and minimize
the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land uses."The standard lifetime
of an SEF is 20-40 years. At the end of its life, our SEF will be fully decommissioned, and the land
that it stands atop will be fully restored. By allowing for the installation of a SEF onsite, the
landowner is re -allocating more resources (such as water) to her remaining farmed land, which
will positively impact the farming onsite. Additionally, this project will allow the land to go
fallow for many years, improving the soil conditions for future agricultural use. Solar produces
no contamination or noise pollution and will pose no threat to surrounding land uses.
"5. Energy development facilities should preserve agricultural areas and enhance the rural
landscape." As stated above, this project will ultimately improve the land that it rests upon by
allowing for more resources to be concentrated on the landowner's remaining farmed land.
When decommissioned, the SEF will leave behind uncontaminated agricultural lands with
renewed soil. During its lifetime, the solar array will have native vegetation growing beneath it,
contributing to Weld County's vegetative health and supporting local pollinator communities.
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 Ill 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."
The subject property is zoned Agricultural (A). Medium -Scale Solar Facilities are permitted as a
Use by Special Review in the Agricultural zone district. The Use by Special Review process allows
for adequate review by the Planning staff, Planning Commission, and the Board of County
Commissioners, to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses. Additionally, citizens are
afforded adequate opportunities to express their concerns in the public hearing setting before
any solar facility can be constructed on agriculturally- zoned land. Within the stated intent of the
"Agricultural" Zone District is the specific reference to "natural resource extraction" and "energy

., Share
development". This proposed solar power generation plant is in compliance with the intent of the
"Agricultural" Zone District. Solar facilities allow farmers and ranchers another use for their land
and a viable stream of income beyond traditional farming and ranching uses. The use also does
not permanently stand on the land, or contaminate it, allowing for the land to continue being
used for ag purposes after the 20 -40 -year SEF lifecycle.
As noted in her letter of support (attached in this application), the owner of this parcel, Cheri
Dent, feels that this proposed use will improve the agriculture on her land. The landowner has
limited rented water, and not enough to fully irrigate the parcel. The SEF will require no water,
allowing her to reallocate the water she does have to highly productive areas, and reaping reliable
lease payments from low -yield areas. Please see Cheri's letter of support for more elaboration.
23. Explain how this proposal will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area or
adopted master plans of affected municipalities.
The subject parcel falls within the Intergovernmental Agreement Boundary for the Town of Ault.
Per the Town of Ault's Zoning Map, the portion of the Town that falls directly west of the subject
parcel is zoned as a) Outside Users, b) Residential, c) Industrial, and d) Exempt.
Solar is a compatible use for the surrounding lands. It produces no airborne or soil -leaching
contaminants, making it safe for the nearby residences and businesses. This addition will pose no
health or safety threat to these uses.
Solar also produces no noise pollution, and the proposed project will be adequately screened from
any residences who fall within the 500 ft buffer (see Fencing/Screening Plan). The SEF is an
unmanned facility and will only have 1-2 vehicles travelling to the site per quarter for regular
maintenance.
Solar is a safe and non -disruptive use for this particular area as it works well with each of the
nearby uses and has no byproducts that will negatively affect nearby land.
SunShare sent the necessary Intergovernmental Notice of Inquiry form to the Town of Ault, and
the Town of Ault sent it back to Weld County on August 24, 2022.
Additionally, the proposed solar facility will be compatible with the remainder of the surrounding
Area, which remains unincorporated. Much of the surrounding area is now, and will probably
remain, agricultural in nature. Solar development is very compatible with farming and ranching
uses Renewable projects provide farmers and ranchers a viable alternate use to traditional
farming and ranching uses on their land. Since there are no permanent structures being built as
part of this proposal, the land can be returned to its agricultural use once the economic viability
of the solar facility has ended.

24. Explain how this proposal impacts the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the
inhabitants of the neighborhood and the County.
This development will positively impact the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the
surrounding area and County.
This proposed project was invited here by the landowner and farmer, as detailed in the attached
Landowner letter of support written by Cheri Dent. Cheri describes how the parcel does not have
water rights. D -Dart Ranch is, essentially, completely reliant upon renting water, creating
immense risk and vulnerability. Market rates also make the purchase of water (were it to even
become available) wholly uneconomical as costs would far exceed any possible return on
investment. Additionally, the water the Cheri does rent is not enough to properly irrigate the
entire parcel, creating areas of low productivity.
By utilizing a portion of her land for solar, Cheri is able to
1) reduce the amount of land that requires water by taking already unproductive land out of
the crop cycle and reallocating water resources to more productive sections of the land.
2) Create a better use for low -yield sections of land; the new use will provide a more reliable
and steadily increasing income than attempting to use the land for crops
The SEF will create no airborne or ground contaminants, making it nonhazardous for residents
near and far. The SEF is also nearly silent when operating, thus is will not contribute to any noise
pollution. The SEF will produce local electricity without adding any pollution to the air. The SEF
will be full fenced in with a security fence, making it inaccessible for trespassers and preventing
potential hazardous situations.
SunShare will build the SEF according to both building codes and Xcel's standards and will pose
no threat to the health and viability of the electric grid, locally or throughout the front range. The
addition of solar energy to the grid will further diversify the energy mix supplied by Xcel,
preventing dependence on any one source of fuel and eliminating the risks associated. The
addition of more energy into the grid will help support the growing energy needs of the County.
The SEF will also provide Weld County residents (who are Xcel customers) with the opportunity
to choose their energy source and energy provide, increasing consumer's choices and economic
freedom.
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 decision for the
proposed use.
While this land is zoned for agriculture, it should not be considered as prime farmland. The Weld
County Code defines prime and non -prime farmland as follows:
1724 Gilpin Street, Denver, CO 80218 • info@mysunshare.com • 800.793.0786 •
., Share
"FARMLAND - WELD COUNTY NONPRIME: NONPRIME FARMLAND is low capability land that is
not considered important land for food production. It may be composed of poorer soils prone to
erosion or may have topographical limitations such as slopes or gullies."
"FARMLAND - WELD COUNTY PRIME: The availability of a consistent supply of quality water
must exist in order to have PRIME FARMLANDS. PRIME and PRIME if irrigated lands fall into
upper capability classes as defined by the Natural Resource Conservation Service and Colorado
State University Cooperative Extension Service and should be protected equally if irrigation
water is available and they are located within a reasonable distance of water delivery
STRUCTURES."
For the following reasons, SunShare believes this parcel falls into the nonprime farmland
category:
The landowner, D -Dart Ranch, has a pivot irrigation system, but no water rights. Water is
increasingly expensive and the dependence on this scarce resource creates potential instability
for the landowner.
Even with the water that the landowner can obtain, there is not enough water to properly irrigate
the full parcel. As a result, the north end of the property is very low -yielding due to a combination
of poor soil and lack of water. For this reason, the landowner was interested in leasing the north
half of the parcel for solar, creating a higher and more reliable source of income on unproductive
land and allowing for more of their irrigation water to go towards productive soils in the south.
Additionally, the solar array will be designed to enable continued agricultural use through sheep
grazing and beekeeping within the solar array footprint.
26. Explain how this proposal complies with Article V and Article XI 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.
The subject property does not fall within any Airport Overlay Zones, Geologic Hazard Zones,
Historic Townsites. A 100 -year floodplain does run through the parcel; however it is located over
1,000 feet away from the proposed SEF site and will not impact the facility. Please see our
Floodplain Impact Statement for more information.
27. Detail known State or Federal permits required for your proposed use(s) and the status of each
permit. Provide a copy of any application or permit.
SunShare will need to apply for the following permits to complete this SEF:

Re: USR Permitting Application for a Solar Energy Facility, Lincoln Solar LLC
Dear Ms. Aungst,
I'm writing you today concerning the solar facility proposed by SunShare LLC d/b/a Lincoln Solar
LLC for Weld County Parcel 070713000033. I am the owner of this parcel and wish the express my
support for this project.
Our family has owned this property since 2021 and our daughter and son-in-law live on this property.
We have continued to use the land for farming, and we raise corn, wheat and millet. Recently Xcel
Energy installed a transmission line running along the north edge of the property. I have elected to
lease my land to SunShare to house their Lincoln solar project as well.
As a farmer in Weld County, I was interested in leasing my land for this project because it presented
a good economic opportunity.
Our family has been involved in agriculture in Colorado for over 75 years. Our family wants to
continue to be involved in agriculture, but water demand can sometimes make this difficult and
expensive. We have no water rights with the land, only a Coffin well. Our ability to lease additional
water rights is very limited, which therefore limits our ability to produce more crops. We feel that
leasing part of our land for this solar project will benefit us because we will have fewer crops to water
and will decrease some of our water demand, but we will still be able to use the major portion of our
land to grow crops. We will lower our water costs, while also generating money from the lease with
SunShare.
We also support this project because it is a valuable for our community. As Weld County grows, so
does energy demand. Adding more energy to the area will be beneficial -- not only for our family but
for the growing community.
I have been working with SunShare since 2021 and I am confident in their ability to build a safe and
effective solar project. SunShare has worked closely with me to learn about the land, its challenges,
and the County requirements that they will need to meet. I am also confident in their ability to work
well with me, as a landowner, and to work in my best interest as someone in agriculture.
I look forward to working with the County and continuing to work with SunShare. Thank you for your
time.
Sincerely,
Cheri Dent
Use by Special Review for a Medium -Scale Solar Energy Facility
Parcel ID No. 070713000033
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS STATEMENT
SunShare, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, is pleased to present our application for a Use by
Special Review for a Medium -Scale Solar Energy Facility ("SEF") on property owned by D -DART RANCH INC
and located on Parcel ID No. 070713000033 in Section 13, Township 7 North, Range 66 West of the 6th
P.M. in Weld County, CO. SunShare is proposing a 5,000 kW AC (5,967 kW DC) SEF which will occupy
approximately 35.1 acres on the northern half of the roughly 158.33 acre parcel.
The current zoning on the parcel is Agricultural (A), however the landowner does not possess water
rights and only has a coffin well to fulfill all water needs. SunShare has executed a lease agreement with D -
Dart Ranch.
This 5,000 kW -AC project will use standard photovoltaic technologies that have been proven safe and
effective through deployment across the United States in thousands of utility or commercial -scale solar
developments. The solar panels are mounted to single -axis tracking arrays, which sit parallel to the ground
and follow the path of the sun across the sky. The panels face east in the morning, lay flat at noon, and
face west in the evening. The tracking arrays produce DC current, which is converted into AC current by
inverters for synchronization and delivery of energy into the utility's distribution grid at a utility
transformer. The modules utilize a non -reflective glass which eliminates glare concerns and all electrical
cables on the improved area will be buried, except for the direct current string wires that connect between
solar collectors, direct current collection circuits between rows of solar arrays that are no more than four
(4) feet above grade crossings, substations, switch yards, and circuits voltages greater than 34.5 kilovolts
(where necessary.) There will be no permanent employees on site during operation, and maintenance
visits are expected to occur quarterly on average.
The appearance of the solar arrays is uniform and symmetrical. Solar panels will not exceed ten (10) feet in
height above the grade, at maximum tilt. The facility will be constructed in accordance with IBC 2021 and
NEC 2020 and will be surrounded by an 8' high game fence made of 4' X 4" reinforced mesh.
The site has no current or former oil or gas operations and has no related infrastructure to account for. All
other setbacks are in accordance with the development standards and are identified on D.100 of the
Sketch Plan. Fence details are on page C.200 of the Sketch Plan. The landowners of adjacent parcels
sharing borders with the project parcel have been notified of the proposed SEF. SunShare has received no
known objections to date regarding this project.

SunShare will create a new access for this SEF and will therefore need to apply for an access
permit. The access will turn west off of WCR37, and is located approximately 1,050 ft south of
the intersection of WCR 37 and HWY 14. The road will be used for commercial purposes
following the approval of the proposed SEF. The entrance to the site will include a 20' wide
all-weather access driveway with an emergency hammerhead turnaround.
This project site has no areas of extreme sloping and will not require any grading work. This SEF will
abide by all dust mitigation standards laid out by the County, as described in our Dust Mitigation Plan.
This soil of the project area is classified as Types A and B, and will not require the addition of any
detention/retention facilities. The project area is not located within any FEMA designated Special
Flood Hazard Areas. The Stormwater Management shall be addressed via the attached Surface
Drainage Analysis. Conceptual design details can be found in the enclosed Sketch Plan, G.100.
This site currently houses a pivot irrigation system for agricultural purposes. Once the SEF is installed,
there will be no need for irrigation on that section of the parcel; the subsequently conserved water can
be reallocated towards more productive crops in other areas of the parcel.
The operational life of an SEF is generally between 20-40 years. The SEF has an initial 20 -
year contract with Public Service Company of Colorado (Xcel) to sell power into the Xcel Electric grid,
and the major equipment components have warranty options up to 30 years, with a useful life of
35-40 years. Upon decommissioning, SunShare will entirely remove all SEF components (fencing, steel
racking, cabling, solar panels and associated interconnection equipment) and undertake measures
to restore the land to its original state, as addressed in the attached Decommissioning Plan.
SunShare will obtain all required permits and approvals, including utility interconnection
agreements, prior to commencing construction. The project's engineers and general contractor will be
made up of local experienced and individuals licensed in Colorado, who will ensure that all required
codes and standards are followed throughout the design and construction. The project will
comply with all applicable provisions in the Weld County Code. SunShare looks forward to working
with Weld County to successfully complete this proposed development and bring the benefits of
community solar energy to the County.

ALTERNATIVES STATEMENT
SunShare selected this site after thoughtful consideration of the Weld County development
standards and Xcel Solar Rewards Community Program requirements.
SunShare is leasing this land from D -DART RANCH INC, owned by Cheri Dent.
This project is in the landowner and farmer's best interest, as noted in his letter attached in this
application. Cheri Dent, owner of the parcel, currently uses the land to grow corn, wheat, and
millet, but does not own any water rights and only has a coffin well onsite. There is not enough
water to properly irrigate the full parcel, and as a result the north end of the property is very low -
yielding due to a combination of poor soil and lack of water. The placement of the proposed
SEF has been selected specifically to stand atop the poor soil so that water resources can be
allocated to more productive section of the parcel instead.
Additionally, the reliance on renting water creates immense risk and vulnerability for the
landowner, especially in regards to their income. Leasing the land will allow the landowner to
decrease their reliance on a scarce resource, while the payments generated from the lease will
provide the landowner with diversified sources of income. In contrast to agricultural earnings,
the payments generated by the solar lease will be regular, fixed payments, and will increase
annually without fail.
This land does not possess water rights. The high cost of water makes this land quite expensive
to farm, while the limited availability of water leads farming to be an unreliable venture for future
use. No water will be required for a solar facility, leaving valuable water resources available for
other Weld County farmers and ranchers.
Solar is ultimately one of the best uses that the landowner could pursue in this area. Solar
produces no pollutants or contaminants, making it safe for the surrounding mixed uses.
Additionally, solar produces no noise pollution, no heavy traffic, and the system will be screened
from the public, and therefore this use will not cause any nuisances. The project is not located
within a residential neighborhood. Solar is not a permanent use either, and the land will be
returned to its current state after the system is retired.
Even with solar present onsite, this project will still benefit the agricultural community of Weld
County by serving as a grazing field for local sheep ranchers. SunShare is solely responsible for
the management of all vegetation within our permitted area, and, rather than mowing, we will
work in partnership with a Weld County rancher, with whom we have a pre-existing relationship.
The rancher's sheep will graze on the vegetation, providing his flock with a free food source
while keeping our site pristine. During operations the land will lie fallow allowing time for soils to
replenish nutrients and minerals. When the solar facility is removed the project area can be
returned to farming.

Z.o Overview
As a condition of approval for the Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review
Permit, Weld County required that SunShare prepare a Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan for
the solar facility, that is to be reviewed and approved by the Weld County Department of
Planning Services. The intent of this Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan is to provide a
comprehensive plan for removal of the solar facility after its useful life and/or the termination of
power generation operations; and to return the subject property to conditions that existed prior
to the solar facility's construction.
The solar power generation facility has an estimated useful life of 3o years or more, with an
opportunity for a life of so years or more with equipment replacement and repowering. At the
end of the useful life of the facility, SunShare will cease power generation, decommission the
facility, and remove the components of the facility from the subject property. The site will be
reclaimed and returned to the agricultural use that existed prior to the facility being constructed.
This Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan is subject to refinement should future best practices or
alternate methods be developed by the solar industry, during the life of this facility. SunShare
will follow solar industry standards and best management practices (BMPs) that exist at the time
of decommissioning and reclamation of the site.
1.1 Procedures for Decommissioning the Solar Facility
After Useful Life & Termination of Power Generation
The solar facility consists of numerous recyclable materials, including glass, semiconductor
material, steel, aluminum, copper, and plastics. When the facility reaches the end of its
operational life, the component parts can be dismantled, and for the most part, salvaged or
recycled at properly licensed facilities.
Some site features, such as internal roads, driveways, drainage features/improvements, and
electrical interconnections may remain on the site, depending upon the anticipated future use
of the property. All such improvements, that are scheduled to remain after the
decommissioning of the site, will be approved by the Weld County Department of Planning
Services.
The following steps will be followed in the decommissioning of the solar facility:
■ Approximately one year prior to the planned decommissioning of the facility, SunShare
will schedule a pre -closure meeting with the Weld County Department of Planning
Services to discuss the process for the site decommissioning and restoration. The final
decommissioning details will be developed through consultation with the Weld County
Department of Planning Services and other departments and agencies that have
jurisdiction over activities in the decommissioning process. Any required permits will be
obtained prior to implementation of the Decommissioning/Reclamation Plan.
■ Appropriate temporary (construction -related) erosion and sedimentation control BMPs
will be applied during the decommissioning phase of the project. The BMPs will be
inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper functionality.
■ Effectively, the decommissioning of the solar facility proceeds in reverse order of the
installation:
a. A site -specific health and safety plan shall be developed, prior to beginning
decommissioning activities, which incorporates the specific sequence and
procedures to be followed.
2. Coordination with local departments and agencies to develop route plans and
obtain necessary permits for the transportation of materials and equipment to
and from the site.
3. The solar facility shall be disconnected from the utility grid. This process will be
coordinated with Xcel Energy.
4. PV modules shall be disconnected, collected and transported to a properly
licensed recycling facility.
5. Above ground and underground electrical interconnection and distribution
cabling shall be removed and salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved
recycling facility.
6. The aluminum racking that supports the PV modules shall be removed and
salvaged or recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility.
7. PV module support steel and support posts shall be removed and salvaged or
recycled off -site at an approved recycling facility.
8. Electrical and electronic devices, including transformers, semiconductors
materials, inverters, and batteries, shall be removed and salvaged or recycled
off -site at an approved recycling facility.
9. Concrete foundations shall be removed and will be recycled off -site at an
approved concrete recycling facility.
io. Fencing shall be removed and will be recycled off -site at an approved recycling
facility.
11. The site will be restored to its original condition, including any necessary
sculpting of soils to match existing natural contours and the re -seeding of
native grasses. Any soil that had been re -located for construction purposes will
be redistributed on the site or used for landscaping purposes. Soils will be
compacted for those areas where foundations or piers have been removed.
1.2
Equipment to be Used for the Decommissioning of
the Solar Facility
The decommissioning of the solar facility will be undertaken using traditional heavy
construction equipment, including front-end loaders, bull dozers, cranes, excavators (track -
mounted and rubber -tired), water tankers, trucks, and pick-ups. Semi -trucks will be used to
transport materials to off -site salvage or recycle centers.
1.3 Dust Mitigation During the Decommissioning Phase
Water tankers will be used to help control dust while the decommissioning activities are
occurring on the site. During the decommissioning of the facility, SunShare will exercise BMPs
to limit fugitive dust from being airborne and traveling beyond the property lines. Dust control
efforts will be monitored by the site foreman on a regular basis to ensure fugitive dust is
adequately controlled. Water spray will be applied, as needed, to unpaved areas during periods
of dry weather. Care will be taken not to over -apply water and create mud. Vehicle tracking
devices will be installed at truck exit drives, per the requirements of Weld County. Vehicles
operating on the site during the decommissioning phase will limit their speed to 15 mph or less,
to minimize dust emissions.
1.4 Decommissioning/Reclamation Cost Estimates
Decommissioning/reclamation cost estimates, which shall be updated every five (5) years from
the establishment and submittal of the Security, shall include all costs associated with the
dismantlement, recycling, and safe disposal of facility components and site reclamation
activities, including the following elements:

Runoff enters the site from the north and northeast and flows through the site to the
south/southwest. Land use immediately downstream of the project is cultivated farmland. The
area immediately upstream of the site includes a public street right-of-way to the east. To the
north, immediately upstream of the site is a future easement consisting of cultivated farmland
with a public street right-of-way further upstream. No previous drainage issues with the site
have been presented. There is a slight swale through the project originating at the northern
public road right-of-way.
There is a circular irrigation system adjacent to the property that previously serviced the
proposed project area. There are no known irrigation systems present within the project
boundary.

FLOODPLAIN IMPACT STATEMENT
A 100 -year FEMA-designated floodplain runs through the southwest corner of the parcel. See
below for an image from the Weld County Assessor Map that shows the floodplain's path
through the parcel, as well as where the proposed SEF (in red) is in relation to the floodplain.

While a flood hazard area does exist on the project parcel, it has no potential to adversely
affect the proposed SEF. The westernmost edge of the SEF is located over 1,000 ft away
from the designated floodplain, effectively removing it from any area of potential hazard, and
the lack of historical flooding events on this property also demonstrate low to no risk for this
site.

FENCING PLAN
SunShare proposes an SEF that will encroach within Weld County's 500 -foot setback from any
residences. There are currently two parcels that have residential buildings within 500 feet of the
proposed SEF area. SunShare has already notified these residents of its proposed SEF
and has received no responses or objections.
SunShare proposes the following fencing plan for the purposes of visual mitigation:
A six-foot tall, offset -picket composite privacy fence running the length of the northern side of the
proposed SEF site, with an additional 12 feet of fencing wrapping around on either side. The
fence would run for a total of +1- 1,624 feet.
SunShare proposes composite fencing rather than wood due to its increased
durability. Additionally, the offset -picket design will provide opaque screening while also
allowing wind to pass through (and therefore mitigating potential hazardous situations that
could arise during high winds).
This fence is proposed in addition to the security fence running the entire perimeter of the project.
Please see the fencing plan and additional fence details on the next page. SunShare has
used this exact method of screening for our Gilcrest V SEF, also in Weld County, to great
success.

Z.o Overview
As a condition of approval for the Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review
Permit, Weld County required that SunShare prepare a Dust and Weed Mitigation Plan for the
solar facility, that is to be reviewed and approved by the Weld County Department of Planning
Services. The intent of this Dust and Weed Mitigation Plan is to provide a comprehensive plan
for control of dust, noxious weeds, and any drainage issues that could cause erosion from the
solar facility.
1.1 Dust Mitigation During the Construction Phase
Water tankers will be used to help control dust while the construction activities are occurring on
the site. During the construction of the facility, SunShare will exercise BMPs to limit fugitive
dust from being airborne and traveling beyond the property lines. Dust control efforts will be
monitored by the site foreman on a regular basis to ensure fugitive dust is adequately controlled.
Water spray will be applied, as needed, to unpaved areas during periods of dry weather. Care
will be taken not to over -apply water and create mud. Vehicle tracking devices will be installed
at truck exit drives, per the requirements of Weld County. Vehicles operating on the site during
the construction phase will limit their speed to 15 mph or less, to minimize dust emissions.
1.2 Noxious Weed Management
The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) and Weld County, both require landowners to
prevent the spread of State Listed Noxious Weeds. Construction activities on the site have the
potential to introduce new noxious weed species to the site, or spread existing species on to or
off of the site. This noxious weed management program was developed to prevent further
spread of noxious weeds. SunShare will comply with CDA and Weld County regulations through
implementation of this plan. Periodic reviews and updates to this plan will be completed as
necessary to keep it current with noxious weed control issues. This plan will be implemented
throughout the life of the solar facility.
Appropriate management actions will be implemented whenever noxious weed species are
observed growing within the project area. The goals of weed management are to:
a.) Identify and manage noxious weeds within and immediately adjacent to the project
areas to be disturbed and after the area has been reclaimed;
2.) Conduct pre-treatment and post -treatment evaluations, and continue or modify
treatment measures as necessary;
3.) Minimize the potential for transportation and importation of noxious weed species;
4.) Educate field personnel in order to encourage compliance with weed management
program goals and assist with identification and control efforts.
To prevent or minimize the infestation and spread periodic inspections of the project area during
the beginning, middle, and end of the growing season will evaluate presence or absence, degree
of invasion, and the response of previous treatments. SunShare's operational staff will conduct
regular site inspections and ensure implementation of this plan. Specific treatment
methodologies and timetables will be developed based on species of concern, location and
extent of the infestation(s), and other pertinent factors.
1.2 (a) Noxious Weed Prevention
Noxious weeds are spread through dispersal of seed and/or transport of plant propagules (i.e.
spores, seeds, roots, etc.). The most effective way to control noxious weeds is to prevent their
introduction into the site in the first place. A combination of methods and practices will be
employed to prevent the introduction of weed species and their regeneration within the project
area.
The following methods and practices may be employed, either singly or in combination, to
prevent the introduction of weeds into the solar site:
a.) A thorough cleaning of equipment will be conducted before entering the project area
to prevent the introduction of seed and plant propagules from other sites;
2.) Seed mixtures used for revegetation or temporary site stabilization will be free of
noxious weeds;
3.) Hay, straw, and/or other materials used for mulch or other purposes will be certified
weed free;
4.) A periodic inspection will be conducted to identify any new weed infestations that
may have occurred. Any new infestations will be scheduled for management before
they become well established and/or spread;
S.) Communication and coordination with adjacent land holders whose property is
infested with noxious weeds that may threaten the site should occur. Establishing
partnerships for weed management within the local area is essential for successful
long-term weed management;
6.) Noxious and pest weed infestations that threaten natural and reclaimed areas will be
treated with accepted Integrated Weed Management (IWM) methods. These
methods are further discussed below.
1.2 (b) Integrated Weed Management (IWM)
An Integrated Weed Management approach will be implemented for treatment of noxious
weeds within the project area. An IWM approach enables selection of one or more weed
management methods based on site specific environmental conditions and control needs.
The following weed management methods will be considered for the project area:
1.) Cultural — Planting native or desirable plant species for site colonization and
promoting healthy vegetation communities in reclaimed areas. Prevent unnecessary
disturbance through precise planning of construction projects and other activities.
Prompt revegetation of disturbed areas.
2.) Mechanical — Mowing, pulling, disking, and plowing may be used on weedy species
for which these treatments are effective.
3.) Biological — Introduction of insects or other biologic agents which are known to
inhibit or prevent reproduction of noxious weed species. If biological agents are
employed, control methods will be coordinated with the Colorado Department of
Agricultural Insectary in Palisade, Colorado.
4.) Chemical — Application of appropriate herbicides by a licensed applicator. All
herbicides will be applied in accordance with the manufacturer's label and in
accordance with Colorado laws.
In some cases, only one control method may be warranted, while in other cases a combination
of control methods may be appropriate. Control methods selected will be dependent upon
species of concern, and the location and extent of the infestation.
The use of IWM methods will protect pollinators, reduce hazards to wildlife, reduce the
possibility of herbicide resistance, and minimize persistence and mobility of herbicides in the
soil. Weed control methods and practices will be applied in a manner that conforms to
applicable federal, state, and local laws.
1.2 (b) 1 Cultural Control
Germination and establishment of noxious weeds can be reduced by following accepted
revegetation and vegetation management techniques that favor the growth of desirable plants.
These include prompt seeding and revegetation of disturbed areas with appropriate seed mixes,
maintaining optimum fertility and moisture levels, planting at optimum density of pure live
seed, minimizing use of fertilizers, and selecting suitable species for revegetation. Minimizing
areas of disturbance and exposed soil prevents opportunities for aggressive species to establish.
A revegetation plan has been developed for the site that utilizes native species that are well -
adapted to the site. Seeding native species in conjunction with other management practices will
provide some level of competition with noxious weeds, and minimize the opportunity for new
infestations to become established.
1.2 (b) 2 - Mechanical Control
Mechanical Control of noxious weeds can be an effective tool to physically disrupt noxious weed
growth and seed development. A combination of mechanical methods may be used including
tilling or disking, mowing, hand-held weed trimmers, mulching, hand -pulling, hoeing, or
livestock grazing. Mechanical weed control practices must be applied with correct timing to
maximize their effectiveness in preventing vegetation development or seed production.
Annual weedy species may be readily controlled with mowing or physical removal. Perennial
species such as Dalmatian toadflax have extensive root systems. For such weed species,
mowing may only control seed production without seriously affecting the plant's survival.
Mowing after seed production has occurred may spread the plants. Disking or tilling areas
containing perennial noxious species may increase the area of infestation due to root sprouting.
In most cases, mechanical control methods used alone are not effective against noxious weed
species.
1.2 (b) 3 — Biological Control
Biological control of noxious weeds can be an effective tool to physically disrupt plant growth
and seed development. A combination of biological methods may be used including
introduction of insect weed predators and species -specific plant diseases. Biological weed
control methods and practices will be applied with appropriate timing to maximize their
effectiveness in preventing seed production. It must be noted that the use of biological controls
normally does not eradicate an infestation of weeds; rather they are capable of reducing weed
species vigor and reproduction. The Colorado Department of Agriculture's Biological Pest
Control Program has on -going biological control programs for several noxious weed species.
Note, the use of insect bio-controls typically require large populations of the target weed to
sustain the population of bio-control agents. Biological controls should not be expected to
eliminate the entire infestation of a noxious weed, but instead to bring the infestation down to
a more manageable level.
1.2 (b) 4 — Chemical Control
Chemical control of noxious and pest weeds can be an effective tool to disrupt plant growth and
seed development. Herbicides can kill targeted species, prevent development and/or
germination of noxious weed seed, can be used with minimal disturbance to soils, and in some
cases, can be selective to specific species or groups of plants. Herbicides must be applied at the
appropriate time to maximize their effectiveness in preventing seed production, for disrupting
plant establishment and growth, or achieving kill of noxious species. To avoid development of
resistance to a particular herbicide through repeated use over prolonged periods of time,
herbicides with varying modes of action to be used. Also, herbicides will be applied according
to manufacturer's label recommendations (i.e. application rate, method, and timing) to
prevent development of plant resistance. Herbicide selection will be based on weed
e mergence, timing of application, past applications, and ground and weather conditions
during the applications.
Successful IWM begins with an understanding of the target plant species and the
e nvironment within which it grows. Next, the physiologic effects of an herbicide on
plant growth and development must be understood. Understanding a pesticide's
chemical nature is also important in minimizing impacts to non -target species, the
applicator, endangered species, and pollinators, as well as surface water runoff hazards and
leaching into groundwater. Every herbicide label contains information regarding
e nvironmental hazards. This information will be evaluated for each herbicide considered for
u se at the site and herbicides will be selected which pose minimal to no environmental hazards.
All pesticides will be handled with care, and applied by qualified personnel. Properly identifying
the weed problem and the most effective chemical control method for use during the
plant growth cycle is critical to effective weed control. Equipment will be properly calibrated
before herbicides are applied and appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will
be used. Empty containers will be disposed of promptly, safely and according with product
labeling.
Herbicides vary in the amount of time after an application before it is safe to re-enter the
treated area without protective clothing and equipment. The site re-entry time is affected by
the rate of application, size of the area treated and the amount of time to be spent in the
field. For the safety of employees and contractors, the Restricted Entry Interval (REI) listed on
the herbicide's label will be followed. Appropriate herbicide application records will be
maintained as specified by the CDA.
1.2 (c) — Monitoring and Follow -Up
Even with effective weed management strategies, it often takes several seasons to eradicate
or bring weed populations to an acceptable level. With well -established infestations, it is likely
that a seed bank has developed in the soil capable of producing new plants for many
years. An infestation of weeds can easily re -invade treated areas in one growing season if
control and treatment activities are prematurely curtailed. Weed management efforts should
be carried out over an adequate number of growing seasons to realize effective weed
management within the target area.
As with all weed management, this multi -season effort is best served by effective
documentation of control efforts and continued vigilance in successive seasons of
management.
Information can be used to modify treatment priorities and weed management strategies
over time. Vigilance is required against new infestations that may be moving into the site.
These new sources of infestation may be worked into prevention and management plans as
necessary. This weed management plan will be modified over time as site conditions
change. Weed management strategies and priorities can be modified as weed infestations
change in response to continued control efforts.
1.3 — Drainage and Erosion Control
Installation of the solar facility will not alter existing drainage patterns or flow rates on the site
and runoff water quality will not be impacted by the solar facility components. Installation of
water quality or detention facilities would require clearing, grubbing, grading and reseeding
of a portion of the site and would likely increase the potential for erosion, sediment transport
and concentrated flow. Accordingly, water quality and detention are not recommended
for this project.
Appropriate temporary (construction -related) erosion and sedimentation control
Best Management Practices (BMPs), will be applied during the construction phase of the
project. The BMPs will be inspected on a regular basis to ensure proper functionality.

TRAFFIC NARRATIVE
In partial fulfillment of Weld County's Use By Special Review (USR) Permit requirements,
this Traffic and Construction Impact Narrative has been prepared for the proposed Lincoln
Solar Medium -Scale Solar Energy Facility located at the southwest corner of WCR 37
and Highway 14 (the Project). The intent of this Narrative is to provide traffic and construction
related information and identify potential Project impacts to affected roadways within Weld
County.
The following information is included in this letter report:
• Project Location, Components and Construction Schedule
• Designated Travel Route
• Daily Vehicle Trip Generation
• Conclusions
P roject Location, Components and Construction Schedule
Location - The Project is located on a +/- 158.33 acre leased area (within Weld County Parcel
N o. 070713000033), located southwest of the intersection of WCR 37 & Highway 14 in Section
13, Township 7N, Range 66W.
Components - The Project generally includes: an initial Project of 5 MW solar energy conversion
system comprised of 11,024 solar modules mounted on a tracker structure on shallow driven steel
I -beams; concrete pad mounted transformer and interconnect; inverters mounted at the end of
array rows; an access drive with emergency turn around; and perimeter fence with gate.
Construction Schedule - It's currently anticipated that the Use by Special Review Permit will be
issued by Weld County on or before April 2023. Accordingly, a construction start/mobilization
date of May 2023 has been estimated, weather permitting.
Based on this, the following preliminary schedule has been prepared, with Day 1 estimated to be
May 1, 2023:
• Solar Facility Components First Deliver

Designated Travel Route
The designated travel route includes: Interstate 25 north to 1-76 East to WCR 49 to WCR 68 to WCR 43
to Highway 14. The following is a brief description of the local access route roadways (i.e. WCR 49 and 66).
We anticipate all project -related traffic will follow this route.
Weld County Road (WCR) 49/47 - The -26.8 mile segment of WCR 49 included in the travel route is generally a
+/-24' wide (per direction) asphalt paved road with a paved asphalt shoulder. There is sometimes a 12' center lane for
turning. The posted speed limit is 55 mph in the vicinity of the Project site. The road surface appears to be in good
condition and we do not anticipate our construction or regular traffic to impact road conditions or traffic congestion.
Weld County Road (WCR) 68 - The -1.8 mile segment of WCR 68 included in the travel route is generally a +/-24'
wide asphalt paved road with varying gravel/soil shoulder width. The road surface appears to be in good condition.
Construction and regular traffic associated with this project is not anticipated to impact road conditions or regular
traffic flow.
Weld County Road (WCR) 43 - The -7 mile segment of WCR 43 included in the travel route is generally a +/-24' wide
asphalt paved road with varying gravel/soil shoulder width. The road surface appears to be in good condition.
Construction and regular traffic associated with this project is not anticipated to impact road conditions or regular traffic
flow.
Highway 14 and WCR 37 - The -3 mile segment of HWY 14 included in the travel route is generally a +/-24' wide
asphalt paved road with a paved asphalt shoulder. The road surface appears to be in good condition. Construction and
regular traffic associated with this project is not anticipated to impact road conditions or regular traffic flow. Traffic will
turn left onto WCR 37 from HWY 14 and will travel for less than a tenth of a mile.
Daily Vehicle Trip Generation and Distribution
Project development may be divided into the following 3 phases: material and equipment delivery;
solar facility construction; and solar facility maintenance). The following Table 1 illustrates
the estimated average daily trip generation by vehicle type for each Project phase.

As illustrated in Table 1, the majority of traffic generated as a result of solar facility installation shall
occur during the 3-4 month solar facility installation (max 28/ave 20vtpd). This traffic will generally
be site worker passenger vehicles.
The majority of heavy truck traffic including conex container delivery (30-50 conex
containers/delivery trucks) and equipment (rubber tire loader, pile driver, fork lift) delivery and
pickup will travel to and from the Project between 8:00 AM and noon and 1:00PM and 4:30PM.
Project related traffic during all phases will not be significant during AM and PM peak periods (7:30
- 9:00 AM and 4:30 - 6:00 PM, respectively).
Conclusions
1. The Project is expected to generate up to 24 vehicle trips per day during material and equipment
delivery (anticipated to be one week at the beginning of the project and one week at the end of the
project), 24 vehicle trips per day during solar facility installation (3-4 months) and 2 vehicle trips
per month during solar facility operation.
2. Project installation is anticipated to begin in May 2023 (material and equipment delivery) and
end in August 2023 (solar facility start-up and container and equipment container pick-up). The
phase with the greatest amount of traffic (solar facility installation) is expected to occur over a 3
month period (May - August 2023).
3. Daily Project related truck traffic is not expected to impact AM and PM peak traffic periods.
4. As proposed, the solar facility installation (material/equipment delivery - approx.1 week, solar
facility installation 3 months and solar facility operations - ongoing) is not anticipated to create
adverse traffic related impacts on Weld County Roads. Based on anticipated vehicle type and
weight (See Table 1), the project is not anticipated to degrade/damage Weld County roads.

Dear Ms. Aungst
I am writing to you regarding the Town of Ault's letter from August 24, 2022, in which
the Town expressed interest in annexing my property, Weld County Parcel No.
070713000033. I am not interested in having my property annexed by Ault, either in
whole or in part. It is my desire to keep my parcel within Unincorporated Weld County.
SunShare expressed my desire to not take part in annexation in their PRE22-0193
application, and again in their meeting with the Town of Ault on November 7, 2022.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Cheri Dent

Tom,
We have received a notice of inquiry for pre -application PRE22-O193, CR 37 and Hwy 14 for Liz Scanlon. This property
borders the Town of Ault on our east town limit. The town has interest in annexation of this property due to that fact.
However, the Town of Ault is opposed to a Solar Energy Facility for this property regardless of remaining in the county
or through annexation to the town, as it does not fit our Comprehensive Plan.
I have attached a copy of our comprehensive plan plat for the Town of Ault. If you have further questions, please feel
free to contact me.
Than ou,
. Sharon Sullivan
Town Clerk/Treasurer

Notes from SunShare's Meeting with the Town of Ault — November 7, 2022
On November 7, 2022, SunShare d/b/a Lincoln Solar LLC met with the Town of Ault to discuss our
proposed project on Weld Co Parcel 070713000033. The Town of Ault (TOA) previously expressed
interest in annexing the parcel, as well as opposition to the proposed project, in a letter to Weld County
following SunShare's Notice of Annexation Inquiry. As a result, SunShare and Ault held an in -person
meeting, per the County's request. Below please see the topics brought up by TOA, as well as SunShare's
responses to the Town.
• TOA expressed wanting to annex this land and add it to their town limits; if annexed it would be
planned for single family residential or commercial.
o SunShare conveyed that Cheri Dent, landowner of the subject parcel, has expressed on
several occasions that she does not want to be annexed into Ault
• TOA shared that solar is not a compatible use with their Comprehensive Plan
o SunShare detailed how solar is a non-invasive use, as it does not produce air or ground
contaminants, or noise or light pollution.
o Solar does not produce any harmful glare
o Once operational, there will be no substantial traffic added to the area
o The array would not require any town resources (e.g., water)
o The solar site is set off of the road, behind an Xcel transmission line, and
fencing/screening will be implemented per County code.
o Solar is a compatible use with nearby parcels, which include Commercial, Industrial, and
Agricultural, as it does not inhibit the operations of any uses affiliated with the
surrounding parcels.
• TOA asked why SunShare selected this particular site, and why a site in Thornton wasn't
selected instead.
o SunShare explained that we have tried to work with Thornton but have not had any
success thus far
o SunShare also shared that there are several suitability criteria that must be met in order
to develop a site, even after a landowner expresses interest in leasing. These include:
■ Minimal topography
• No flood zone present
• Close proximity to Xcel infrastructure including 3 -phase lines and substation
• Available capacity on the Xcel infrastructure (i.e., solar cannot be
interconnected to 3 phase power lines if they do not have sufficient capacity)
o Most importantly, the landowner, Cheri Dent, reached out to us with an interest in
leasing her land to us. Cheri does not have enough water rights on the property for
agriculture alone to be economical and has elected to add solar to her land as well.

1§1E5OPire
L A R
• TOA asked how the solar array would benefit the Town
o SunShare expressed that they could provide discounted energy to Town buildings or
residents by way of a solar subscription
o SunShare also offered to provide educational opportunities where suitable
o However, SunShare said that they would not be able to provide any benefits to TOA by
way of major tax revenue
• TOA asked what happens when the facility is decommissioned
o SunShare is required by Weld County code to put forth a security bond for
decommissioning
o Additionally, SunShare owns and operates its gardens, so we will be the entity still
responsible for the array when it is time to be decommissioned (20-40 years)
o Equipment will be removed and recycled
o The land will be returned to its original state (save for any soil/land improvements that
take place, e.g. grading)

Toni,
AT the request of Weld County, the Town of Ault Development Review Team met with representatives for Sunshare
LLC, dba Lincoln Solar LLC for pre -application PRE22-0193, CR 37 and Hwy 14. After reviewing the request and
information provided, the Town of Ault has not changed their position.
• This property borders the Town of Ault on our east town limit. The Town of Ault is opposed to a Solar Energy
Facility for this property regardless of remaining in the county or annexation to the town, as it does not fit our
Comprehensive Plan.
• This is the only property surrounding the Town of Ault that is not owned by the City of Thornton, which makes it
an attractive property for future annexation and development. The solar project hinders future opportunities
for development.
• The landowner states in the provided documentation that they are not interested in annexation.
• There is no landscaping for this project, hindering the aesthetics for a property directly on the Town of Ault
border.
• 1t takes productive farm ground out of production.
It is the request of the Town of Ault that this project be denied, with the recommendation that an alternate location be
identified. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Sharon Sullivan
