My sister, Miss Hazel Carlson resides in the house on the farm, the rest of the family visits there as frquently as is posible, There are other families living in the immediate vicinity. On August 29, 1970, my sister received a letter from a Mr. and Mrs. Larry F. Slauson (Routel, Box 45, Johnstown, Colorado), that they planned to put in a swine confinement system on the 25 acred of land immediately west of our farm home. Also, they stated in the letter that if they were not notified by Septemberl, 1970, iust three days later, that they would assume the plans met with approval. As administrator of the Carlson Farms Inc., I wish to notify you that this kind of use for the land, in that close proximity to our home, is not approved; it is undesirable, and I ask under the Weld County Zoning Code that it not be allowed. There are many reasons for this, but the primary reason is that it will fairly well preclude future use of land in the immediate vicinity for desirable living. At present, that part of Weld County is one of the desirable residential areas of the county. There are nine homes within a quarter mile of this system of swine confinement. Among other things the prevailing wind is from the west. To explain this, the hay processing plant near Berthoud put odors into the air which are noticeable on the Carlson farm, but that kind of odor is pleasant by comparison to a hog operation, even if reduced to 5%, which is doubtful. err. Slauson is proposing to locate his house to the west of the proposed hog buildings where he would not be affected as much by the smell. I am not familiar with the proposed waste disposal system. Even though ehemically treated, there is still the problem of sludge and residue which must be disposed of by some means, which in that setting creates a pollution problem. There is, also possibly, a water pollution problem to the lake partially on the property. This water has previously been used downstream for irrigation and live- stock watering. Finally, there is psychological pollution to anyone else in the vicinity, who would wish to use their land for more desirable purposes, such as additional housing or the like. I ask that you keep the normal agricultural zoning intact on the west end of Weld County and not permit a variance for such a purpose. I understand a hearing was scheduled before the Board of County Commissioners on this matter today, Sept. 2, 1970. Had we known such was even contemplated, I would have either been thereor had a representative to file such protest in person. I understand this is to be taken up again on September 9, 1970, and if so, I will try to be there. But whether there, or not, we do not approve of this use for that land.
