Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for: CASE NUMBER: USR21-0002 APPLICANT: DANE AND NELDA KORNASIEWICZ, C/O CASSIDY ORR PLANNER: CHRIS GATHMAN REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT FOR A COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL FACILITY INCLUDING ANIMAL TRAINING WHERE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ANIMAL UNITS PERMITTED IN SECTION 23-3-70.D IS EXCEEDED OR TRAFFIC TO AND FROM THE FACILITY EXCEEDS SIXTY (60) DAILY TRIPS (DOCK DIVING FACILITY FOR DOGS) IN THE A (AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SUBDIVISION EXEMPT SE -962 (WEST PARCEL), BEING PART NE4 SECTION 6, Ti N, R68W OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD COUNTY, COLORADO. LOCATION: SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO STATE HIGHWAY 52 AND APPROXIMATELY 2,000 -FEET WEST OF CR 3. be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons: 1 2 The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23 -2-260 of the Weld County Code. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows: A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect. Section 22-2-30 C. Harmonize development with surrounding land uses. 1. Transition between land use types and intensities with buffers. Uses that are incompatible with existing uses must be able to mitigate conflicts. The proposed dock diving facility is located near the southern property line (further away from the from the existing residences to the east). The applicant has provided a noise study indicating that the property can meet residential noise standards. Section 22-2-40 A. Support compatible economic development opportunities. 1. Identify target areas where the County is able to encourage shovel -ready commercial and industrial development. This property is located in a Weld County Opportunity Zone, where applicants are encouraged to explore commercial opportunities that are compatible with the surrounding area. A dock diving facility is a commercial opportunity that is compatible with the surrounding area when impacts like noise and traffic are adequately mitigated. B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The proposed use is permittable under Sections 23-3-40.A. and 23-2-40.H. 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 RESOLUTION USR21-0002 DANE AND NELDA KORNASIEWICZ, CIO CASSIDY ORR PAGE 2 feature of the county. The A (Agricultural) Zone Districtis 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 proposal meets the intent because the proposed use will not impact surrounding agricultural uses. No farm ground will be taken out of production as a result of this use. C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The site is located immediately to the west of two residences. The property to the south and west is located within the Town of Erie municipal limits and has been platted for a two -lot minor subdivision which has not been developed. One e-mail from a neighboring property owner to the southwest of the site stated concerns with noise (barking dogs) and increased traffic. The applicant has provided a noise report stating that the use will meet the residential noise standard. The facility will be operated during daylight hours (no lighting). Traffic to and from the site is limited during weekdays and the higher traffic animal competitions is limited to one (1) event a month. Conditions of Approval and Development Standards (noise limits) will assist in ensuring compatibility with existing surrounding land uses. D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected municipalities. The site is located within the three (3) mile referral area of the Town of Erie and the Town of Frederick. This site is not located within the boundary of a Cooperative Planning Agreement (CPA). The Town of Frederick, in their referral response dated January 11, 2021, stated no conflict with their interests. The Town of Erie in their referral comments, dated February 3, 2021 indicated that the Town of Erie Comprehensive Plan (last updated in 2015) identifies the property as LDR-Low Density Residential and this zoning classification does not include business uses. The Town of Erie stated that they do not support the request as it conflicts with their comprehensive plan. The Town of Erie stated that the adjacent property is in the platting process for residential development and requests that the outdoor dog facilities be located a minimum of 300 -feet from this property. The size and shape of the property does not allow the outdoor dog facilities to be located a minimum of 300 -feet from the town limits of Erie. Additionally, relocating the facility would move it closer to existing residences to the east whereas the property in Erie has not yet been developed/built for residential use. There is presently an equipment building (constructed in 2006) on the property. The applicant provided a noise study that indicates that the facility can meet the residential noise standard measured 25 -feet from the property line. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the Weld County Code. The property is not within the Geologic Hazard Overlay District, Agricultural Heritage Overlay District, Airport Overlay District, MS 4 Area or a Special Flood Hazard Area. Building Permits issued on the property will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program, County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs. RESOLUTION USR21-0002 DANE AND NELDA KORNASIEWICZ, CIO CASSIDY ORR PAGE 3 F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural land in the locational decision forthe proposed use. The proposal is located on approximately 3.87. acres delineated as Prime if Irrigated and Prime per the 2020 Natural Resource Conservation Service Soil Survey. The property has existing residential improvements, is not being farmed and is too small for larger scale agricultural production. G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 — There is adequate provisions for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County. The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards (Section 23-2- 250, Weld County Code), Conditionsof s of Approval and Development Standards can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

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. Mineral resource locations are widespread throughout the County and person 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. 31. 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 practicesthat are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. RESOLUTION USR21-0002 DANE AND NELDA KORNASIEWICZ, CIO CASSIDY ORR PAGE 9 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 fourthousand (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 oilfield 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. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Tuesday, March 16, 2021 EXHIBIT B39 V.SR'3\ - 000a- A regular meeting of the Weld County Planning Commission was held in the Weld County Administration Building, Hearing Room, 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. This meeting was called to order by Vice Chair, Gene Stille, at 12:33 pm. Roll Call. Present: Butch White, Dwaine Barclay, Gene Stille, Lonnie Ford, Sam Gluck, Tom Cope. Absent/Excused: Elijah Hatch, Skip Holland, Troy Mellon. Also Present: Chris Gathman, Michael Hall and Tom Parko, Department of Planning Services; Lauren Light, Department of Health; Melissa King and Zack Roberson, Department of Public Works; Bob Choate, County Attorney, and Kris Ranslem, Secretary. CASE NUMBER: USR21-0002 APPLICANT: DANE AND NELDA KORNASIEWICZ, C/O CASSIDY ORR PLANNER: CHRIS GATHMAN REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT FOR A COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL FACILITY INCLUDING ANIMAL TRAINING WHERE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ANIMAL UNITS PERMITTED IN SECTION 23-3-70.D IS EXCEEDED OR TRAFFIC TO AND FROM THE FACILITY EXCEEDS SIXTY (60) DAILY TRIPS (DOCK DIVING FACILITY FOR DOGS) IN THE A (AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SUBDIVISION EXEMPT SE -962 (WEST PARCEL), BEING PART NE4 SECTION 6, Ti N, R68W OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD COUNTY, COLORADO. LOCATION: SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO STATE HIGHWAY 52 AND APPROXIMATELY 2,000 -FEET WEST OF CR 3. Chris Gathman, Planning Services, presented Case USR21-0002, reading the recommendation and comments into the record. Mr. Gathman noted that one (1) letter was received outlining concerns about noise and that the landowner intends to build a residence on their property in the future. Mr. Gathman stated that the Town of Erie does not support the request as it conflicts with their Comprehensive Plan and added that the adjacent property is in the platting process for residential development and requests that the outdoor dog facilities be located a minimum of 300 feet from this property. He added that the size and shape of this property does not allow the design of the facility in a manner where the actual facility could be a minimum of 300 feet from the town limits. If they would relocate the facilities it would be encroaching closer to the existing residences to the east. A letter of support from one of the surrounding property owners to the east of the site was submitted today. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of approval and development standards. Melissa King, Public Works, reported on the existing traffic, access to the site and drainage conditions for the site. Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan. Cassidy Orr and Dane Kornasiewicz, 620 State Highway 52, Erie, Colorado. Mr. Kornasiewicz stated that they intend to build the dog diving facility and added that it is a pool facility that encourages dog sport, recreation and rehabilitation. He said that they are planning to pump water to the pond from the Left Hand Water District or import the water through a water service. He said that they have had discussions with Left Hand Water on whether or not they would need a commercial water tap; however, Left Hand Water District had said that it is not necessary based on the amount of water that will be used for this facility. Commissioner Gluck asked if it is an above ground pool. Ms. Orr said it would be a 45 -foot above ground dock and a 40 -foot above ground pool. Commissioner Cope asked how close the pool is to the back property line. Ms. Orr said that it would be 25 feet from the property line. 1 Commissioner Cope asked what the rationale is for having a saltwater pool. Mr. Kornasiewicz said that salt water is better for dogs than a chemical pool. Commissioner Stille asked if there is a lot of barking. Ms. Orr said that they are doing hourly bookings and they do not bark when running or swimming. The times they anticipate barking is when there is competition and they have to be in their crates. Mr. Kornasiewicz said that the noise level will be pretty low at the property line and there should be no concerns. Commissioner Stille asked if this is a year-round facility. Ms. Orr said the facility will operate during the warm summer months between April and October. The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No one wished to speak. The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement. Motion: Forward Case USR21-0002 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval, Moved by Sam Gluck, Seconded by Dwaine Barclay. Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 6). Yes: Butch White, Dwaine Barclay, Gene Stille, Lonnie Ford, Sam Gluck, Tom Cope. Meeting adjourned at 1:35 pm.
