RIGHT TO EXTRACT MINERAL RESOURCES STATEMENT: Weld County has some of the most abundant mineral resources, including, but not limited to, sand and gravel, oil, natural gas, and coal. Under title 34 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, minerals are vital resources because (a) the state's commercial mineral deposits are essential to the state's economy; (b) the populous counties of the state face a critical shortage of such deposits; and (c) such deposits should be extracted according to a rational plan, calculated to avoid waste of such deposits and cause the least practicable disruption of the ecology and quality of life of the citizens of the populous counties of the state. 2MJUSR21-93-977 Page 8 of 9 Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and people moving into these areas must recognize the various impacts associated with this development. Often times, mineral resource sites are fixed to their geographical and geophysical locations. Moreover, these resources are protected property rights and mineral owners should be afforded the opportunity to extract the mineral resource. 41. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM STATEMENT: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment, slow -moving farm vehicles on rural roads, dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads, odor from animal confinement, silage and manure, smoke from ditch burning, flies and mosquitoes, hunting and trapping activities, shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an adjudicated right to the water. Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size (twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700) miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sandburs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. 2MJUSR21-93-977 Page 9 of 9 Diana Aungst From: Diana Aungst Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2021 10:28 AM To: Dave Wolfe Subject: RE: RV camping Dave Just as a clarification to the emails below.

But an $ 8000 septic system for a few RV sites would never pay off. So we will make it available from April through September. They will have to go off -site to dump. I would like to make it 8 months if possible and then it would be March through October since we have nice weather at those times as well. But if 6 months is my limit then go April through September.

I think there could be situations where contestants want to come to Colorado from Texas or the hot states to get out of the heat for the summer and would want to stay for 3 months through the summer. For that reason, I would like to say 90 days Thank you, Dave Wolfe President, Cinch RSNC Cinch Ranch Sorting National Championships PO Box 1 Wellington, CO 80549 Phone: 970-897-2901 Fax: 970-897-2921 www.rsnc.us "Preserving the Ranching Lifestyle- One Sort at a Time" From: Diana Aungst <daungst@weldgov.com> Sent: Monday, November 15, 2021 10:38 AM To: Dave Wolfe <daversnc@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: RV camping Dave The code states that someone can camp in an RV for 30 days.

I called your office and ask what a Certificate of Conveyance was, and I was told it was the deed of trust. That is why I sent you a copy of the deed of trust. The answer to the hours of operation for the campground would be 24/7 since overnight camping would be allowed. For the answer to the storage area, It is simply a 3 sided lean too area 12 x 14 foot between the office and the viewing area that is covered. I use it in the winter to store the maintenance equipment like the mower, weed eater, brooms and shovels etc. Thank you, Dave Wolfe President, Cinch RSNC Cinch Ranch Sorting National Championships PO Box 1 Wellington, CO 80549 Phone: 970-897-2901 Fax: 970-897-2921 www rcnr. us "Preserving the Ranching Lifestyle- One Sort at a Time" From: Diana Aungst <daungst@weldgov.com> Sent: Thursday, September 23, 20214:29 PM To: Dave Wolfe <daversnc@hotmail.com> Subject: RE: MJUSR PRE21-0216 Dave I still need the Certificate of Conveyances. Please go to a title company and have them prepare a Certificate of Conveyances for this property. The Minor Amendment that you completed recently included the statement — "adding a new announcer stand with an additional storage area". Just need to know more information about the storage area — size, location, items that will be stored, etc. A Minor Amendment to a Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit No. USR-977 for a Roping Arena and Training Facility. The amendment includes decreasing the size of the USR boundary to include only one parcel of land, updating the development standards and adding a new announcer stand with an additional storage area and a new shaded viewing area for the roping arena in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Under item c — please state if the campground will be open 24 hours a day 17 days a week or what days it will be open. Seems like the events are 8am to 8pm but what about the camping?
