WELD COUNTY 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 GRAVFI ROADS; D0f1R FROM ANIMAI f nNFINFMFNT,
SILAGE AND MANURE; SMOKE FROM DITCH BURNING, FLIES AND MOSQUITOES; HUNTING AND TRAPPING ACTIVITIES; SHOOTING
SPUR IS, I F GAI HA/IN(; nF 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, SAND BURS, 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,

• The solar project will follow Weld County
regulations regarding noxious weeds, as
well as the landowner concerns
GAME FENCE DETAIL
FARM/AGRICULTURAL & SOLAR USES
• This parcel is non -irrigated dryland farm ground with no existing water rights.
• Leasing land for solar use provides another option for landowners to realize income from their
property; often the highest source of income generated by the land.
• Rental income from a solar facility provides the landowner with a stable long-term, steadily
increasing income on their land, versus variable income from dryland farming, which is often
dependent on Mother Nature.
• The solar facility life expectancy is 30-35 years, during which the land will lie fallow allowing time
for soils to replenish nutrients and minerals. When the solar facility is removed, land can be
returned to dryland farming
• Working with the University of Arizona to establish a research project regarding Agrivoltaics,
dryland farming, and evaporation points
WELD COUNTY COMMUNITY
• Education

• Weld County Heritage
Paula Carr Memorial Community Solar project
COMPLIANCE WITH THE WELD COUNTY CODE & COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN
Meets the Alternative Energy Policies of the Weld County Code and Comprehensive Plan:
Section 22-4-50.A.3 (AIR.Policy 1.3) states: "The County encourages the use and
development of alternative fuels, alternative fueled vehicles and modes of transportation
that reduce pollutants."
This facility produces alternative fuel from solar energy, a renewable resource
which is encouraged by the Comprehensive Plan.
• Section 22-4-50.A.4 (AIR.Policy 1.4) states: "The County encourages innovative and
creative approaches to alternative energy sources."
A solar facility develops alternative fuel through a process that will not create any
air emissions, nor cause dust or odors and develops alternative fuel, which
strengthens the grid strategically in the places where it is needed most.
Section 22-5-130 states: "Due to the volatility of traditional energy resources, the County
supports and encourages development and use of alternative energy resources."
Solar energy is an alternative energy source, adding stability to and enhancing the
existing electrical grid.

Re: SunShare's Application for Building Permit for the Paula Carr Memorial Community
Solar Garden
Dear Casey:
In connection with the above -referenced application for a Weld County building permit, this letter
serves as confirmation that upon our receipt of a building permit issued by the Weld County
board of county commissioners, we agree to: (ii) remove all Auss-trees at your request (estimated
to be approximately 4-6 trees) along the east side of you property (Parcel 12117000019); (ii) we
will "field" survey and stake your east fence line every 100' for the fence builders; and (iii) install
a 6' cedar privacy fence running the entire length of the east side of you property directly on the
property line. The fence will be constructed with 6x6 inch and 1 Oft treated posts with (3) 2X4
stringers per 8' section. We will bring the fence in to the west approximately 6' along your south
property fence line.
If this is acceptable to you, please indication your approval by signing below. We are looking
forward to building this memorial community solar garden, and having your participation in this
project makes it an even more meaningful endeavor. As always, do not hesitate to reach out with
any questions that you might have.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
My Name is Graham Carr and I manage the farm operations for the property under review today and have done
so for over fifteen years. My wife, Paula, is one of the owners. Before Paula, I managed this for her Mother,
Patti Wilcox. Patti lived in Washington state and was not able to take care of the property from that
distance. Likewise, the other property owners, family members were not taking care of the property. Patti's
parents, John & Mirth Leonard, originally purchased this property on April 6, 1951, when he was 43 years
old. It is my understanding John stopped farming around 1980 John passed away on 5/18/1994. Before I
took over in 2005, the owners had unsuccessfully tried to work with a tenant farmer but for the most part, the
land becomes overrun with noxious weeds. The only activity was from oil and gas production The first well
was drilled on 10/1/1975. Six shallow vertical wells were drilled on the property Five of the wells stopped
producing during 1999. The last well stopped production on 1/2010. Five of the wells have been completely
removed and plugged/Abandoned. I received notice on 10/5/2020 from Crestone Peak will start the well Plug
& abandon operations As of 11/15/2020, the work had not started, but this is on the schedule for
completion. Since we had lost all the shallow vertical wells, I reached out to Kerr-McGee and Anadarko durmg
2018 in hopes to arrange for a new multi -horizontal Oil & Gas pad to be placed on our property. I was told by
Brandon McGraw (Landman) from Anadarko that they were currently in the permitting phase for developing
this area sometime m 2019. There are wells planned to develop NE/4 Sec 17 but will be reached from another
surface parcel, but the wellbores will pass under our property Currently, we are surrounded by horizontal
wellbores on the East, South, and West sides The only remaining open area for wellbores is below our
property. The most logical location for a new pad would be on the south end of Section 17. The bores would
have to run North under us and could extend to the center of Section 36 This would give a 1.5 -mile -long
bore The opportunity to develop our property for oil and gas is no longer an option. Below is a table showing
the O&G well information.
Farming operation
When I took over the farm management, the Olson family was occasionally using the property for growing
feed, but this was hit and miss. The property had fallen into poor condition. I made numerous attempts to work
with the Olson to encourage them to start working on the property to get it back to quality farmland That failed
so during 2014 I reached out to Gary from Bella Farms. I offered Gary free rent for 5 years to offset his cost
for rebuilding the soil and gettmg the noxious weeds under control. This has also been hit and miss and as far
as I know, Gary has only planted once or twice over the last 5 years. This is a dryland farm and we do not own
any water rights The Spear canal and Irrigation ponds located on the property to our South is on Olson family
land, so we do not have access to that water. In March of 2019, Gary and I started discussing the possibility of
mstallmg center pivot irrigation, but this is still limited due to lack of water. The only available water would be
applying effluent water from the Bella farms dairy holding ponds which are located to the Northwest of our
location. This is approximately one mile away Gary told me that this would only be used once or twice a
season and this would not be suitable for continuous use Gary did place a 6" pipeline under WCR34 coming
from the S/E corner of his property into our N/W corner. The intent was to tie into this for irrigation so he
could hopefully plant yearly crops To date, nothing has happened, and a center pivot irrigation system has not
been installed He does not plan on farming the corners and at best this might produce some dryland crops.
Solar Farming option
The opportunity to generate income from the property has been severely restricted now that the oil & gas wells
have been shut down and the fact that we do not have access to irrigation Even with the possible use of
effluent water this would still be considered dryland farming and would only pay $20.00 per acre. So early this
year I started to investigate other options to improve the owner's income That is when I started working with
Page 1 of 3
November 30th, 2020
Sun Share We started working on layouts to allow Sun Share to build a usable solar array while still allowing
Gary the opportunity to set up a center Pivot irrigation system. The proposed plan achieves this goal and gives
Bella Farms the opportunity to set up a 270° center pivot system. Allowing Bella farms to continue to grow
feed for their dairy cows and Sun Share to harvest the sun's energy. The owners are excited not only to have
the opportunity to additional receive income but to also put the land to good use by providing electricity for the
surrounding community
The Owners Group
The owners are direct descendants from John & Mirth Kugel John only had one daughter, Patty (Leonard)
Wilcox from a previous marriage. John later married Mirth but they never had any children. John and Mirth set
it up so Mirth's Nephews and niece would also become part owners upon their passing The owners of six
family lines. Three are from John and Three from Mirth. Johns daughter Patti passed away during 2016 and
she left her shares to Daughters, Cynthia Walters, Paula Carr, and grandson Troy Skogmo. For Mirth, it is Gary
Kugel, Brain Kugel, and Key (Kugel) Sachs Together this family makes up the owner's group I am sad to say
that my wife Paula just passed away on 10/2020 from brain cancer Her two children will now become part
owners of the farm. It was John and Mirth's dream that this property would continue to provide for their
airs. This project will allow the farm to keep producing income while helping the local dairy and community.
Paula Carr
I would like to share some mformation about my wife Paula. Paula was an amazing woman and so full of
life. She loved her grandparents and adored her grandfather. Paula grew up in Washington but would spend
many summers with her grandparents. John and Mirth lived in their home in Longmont but owned four
different farm properties. John would commute to the farms to work on them. He would grow crops every
single year and this was their only source of income. John was also a pilot from WW2 and contmued to fly
throughout his life. John and Mirth belong to the Flying farmer's group and enjoyed fly -ins every year with
other farmers He kept his plane just South of the Platteville farm at a private airstrip. Paula uses to enjoy
packing lunch for John. Mirth would take Paula and her sisters out to the farms for picnics with John. Later as
Paula become a young adult, she would continue to spend time lots of time with her grandparents. She even
moved to Colorado to be closer to them. John was also was a private pilot instructor and started teaching Paula
to fly. Paula's mother Patti also adored her father and spent many wonderful months over the years m
Longmont and on the farms. When Patti asked me to help manger the properties her only request was that I try
to get the farms back into condition but also work with the oil companies. When Patti passed away, Paula asked
me if I would continue working the farms Paula knew we had serious problems with trying to keep the
Platteville farm in the crop We did look at the possibility of trying to subdivide the farm mto horse
properties. She did not really care for this because she wanted to see it stay as farmland. Knowing we did not
have the capital or farming experience; we knew we could not farm the property My career as being in
residential/commercial construction, which is why we looked at developmg the land. So, when I approached
Paula about setting up a Solar Farm, she was excited She said to me that's he loved the idea that we were still
farming because this would farm the sun's rays Her exact words were "The sun used to kiss granddads wheat
now it will kiss the solar panels" I got her point, we are still farming but m a high tech way. More important is
we keep the property generating income for the owner's group

I deleted a clause in section 4.B per the Board's direction. See the highlighted in the attached. Otherwise it looks good to
me.

RE Modified Reso for USR20-0029
RE203716 Modified Reso (005) docx
Sorry for the delay I recommend modified condition 1 D The Board (or at least some of the Board) wanted screening
around the facility — not just the west side fencing as proposed So an updated plan will be needed Therefore, I
recommend adding a sentence that they still need to submit a landscape and screening plan for staff to review (along
with a maintenance plan)
Also — I suggest a couple of minor tweaks to 2 A 2 and 2 C Criteria of approval (to reflect that juniper trees may be
installed along other sides of the facility — not along the west side
Let me know if you have any questions
Thanks,
Chris Gathman
