* No building or structure as defined and limited to those occupancies listed as Groups
A, B, E, F, H, I, M and R in Section 302.1 of the 2012 International Building Code,
shall be constructed within a 200-foot radius of any tank battery or within a 150-foot
radius of any wellhead or within a 25-foot radius of any plugged or abandoned oil and

permits, however, a Certificate of Compliance must be filed with the Planning
Department and an electrical and/or plumbing permit is required for any electrical
service to the building or water for watering or washing of livestock or poultry.
13) Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee
structure of the County-Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
14) Building Permits issued on the proposed lots, will be required to adhere to the fee
structure of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
15) 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.
16) WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: 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
RECX17-0173
Page 3 of 5
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, 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.
6. The plat shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 24-8-60 of the Weld
County Code. The applicant shall submit an electronic copy (PDF) of the plat for preliminary
approval to the Department of Planning Services. Upon approval of the plat, the applicant shall
submit a Mylar plat along with all other documentation required as conditions of approval. The
Mylar plat shall be recorded in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder by the Department of
Planning Services. The Mylar plat and additional requirements shall be recorded within sixty (60)
days from the date the administrative review was signed. The applicant shall be responsible for
paying the recording fee.
7. In accordance with Weld County Code Ordinance 2005-7 approved June 1, 2005, should the plat
not be recorded within the required sixty (60) days from the date the Administrative Review was
signed a $50.00 recording continuance charge shall added for each additional 3 month period.
8. The Department of Planning Services respectfully requests the surveyor provide a digital copy of
this Recorded Exemption. Acceptable format is a projected ESRI shapefile (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj)
with a defined coordinate system (i.e., NAD 1983 UTM Zone 13N, WGS 1984, NAD 1983 HARN
StatePlane Colorado North FIPS 0501 (US Feet)....etc.). This digital file may be sent to
maps@co.weld.co.us.

9. If the exemption plat has not been recorded within sixty (60) days from the date the administrative
review was signed, or Board of County Commissioners resolution, or if an applicant is unwilling or
unable to meet any of the conditions within sixty (60) days of approval, the application will be
forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a staff recommendation for denial. The
Director of Planning Services may grant an extension of time, for good cause shown, upon a written
request by the applicant.

Hi Michael ,
I think I finally found a surveyor to help out with this . The engineer that originally started has finally told me that he has

Thank you,

Thanks for the update .
You do not need to worry about the extension fee or timeline . As long as you are actively working on it, we should be
good .
I typically only assess the extension fee when the case has been open for a year or more .
Thanks .

Hi Candice,
Both cases are nowhere near recording. Since I sent the staff report out to you all in November, I never
heard anything back.
It is up to you and the other property owners to address the conditions of approval in the staff report I
sent you and hire a surveyor to make the draft plat maps which I will then review.
These directions were in the staff reports .
Thank you,
