This building, (located at 25525 CR 48, Kersey, CO), is currently being used as an office, breakroom, storage space and work area. We would like to change the use of the office to H2A seasonal farm labor housing. There would be 2 bedrooms that could accommodate 4 people, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. The breakroom, storage spaces and work area will continue to be used as they were designed. The storage areas and the barn is used for temporary storage of product, farm supplies and a work area. There is sufficient parking all around the building that will include pick-ups, trucks, equipment and employee & personal vehicles. b. The proposed use of this building and land will not impact the natural resources in the area. The property includes a barn with a lean on the east side that is currently being used as office space, breakroom, storage space and barn. No hazardous material is stored in the building. The site is centrally located on the property and contained in a small area. The property is zoned agricultural. We need farm labor. Greeley, CO and the surrounding area cannot supply the labor needed for our organic vegetable operation. d. The current site (5 acres) where all the buildings reside is surrounded by 170 acres of our farmland. We currently grow organic fruit, vegetables and alfalfa on the property. A change of use of the building will not change our farming operation or impact local traffic, safety, flood plains, or economic development in the area. e. The current building sits 235 feet from our home and sits in the middle of our farming operation of 170 acres. The proposed use of this building and property is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area because other surrounding properties have similar uses. It will not have a negative impact on the area. f. Hours and days of operation is Monday through Saturday approximately 7am to 5pm. g. There is no shift work, everyone works from 7am to 5pm, Monday through Saturday. h. We would like four fu time employees that would work March or April through November or December. i¢ n,t/a Currently there is a cooler and air compressor located in the interior of the barn. k. nja I. None m. We have already moved the office out of the building. We need approximately a few of hours to thoroughly clean the area. n. None. This is an existing building. We would like to change the use of the office to housing. o. The surface of the 5 acre area is bare dirt and native grasses. Included in the area are 9 buildings & 3 coolers: Barn: 6240 sq ft (14, 0' in a concrete floor and 4800' with a dirt floor) House: 3120 sq ft Landscaping around house: 22,140 sq ft all in dirt, grass and plants Detached Garage: 1794 sq ft with a concrete floor & access Outdoor Bathroom: 64 sq ft with a concrete floor Grainery: nery: 324 sq ft with a concrete floor Cold Frame: 1880 sq ft with a dirt floor 3 Sheds: 1053 sq ft total with dirt floors 3 Coolers: 45 sq ft sits on concrete 182 sq ft sits on dirt 6 sq ft sits on dirt A very large area surrounds the building that can be used for parking. We can accommodate as many handicap spaces as needed. None r. The landscape around the building includes trees, grass, flower beds and bare dirt. s. None t No reclamation is needed for the area. This is an existing building. u. First responder is the Kersey Fire Protection District. This area is zoned as Agricultural Use and we run an agricultural business, 3. This is consistent with Article Ill, Section 23-3-40-T: Multi -Family dwellings for persons principally employed at or engaged in farming operations. We run an agricultural business and this area is zoned for agriculture. It is consistent and compatible with other business and will not have a negative impact in the area. Currently we are four miles away from the town of Kersey. There are no master plans to develop this area and it will not affect the economic development of the area. This proposal is consistent with the agricultural area surrounding it. S. Our particular site is not located near any of these areas mentioned in Article V & Xl of Chapter 23: Per Diane Aungst. 6. This proposed 'change of use' site is located in an existing building and will not impact the farmland in a negative way. 7 The proposed change of use of this building is surrounded by our 170 acre farm and it will not impact the neighbors or the county or the local traffic. Environmental Health Questions 1. Drinking water comes from Central Weld County Water District. This property does not use a well as its water source. A copy of the water bill is included with this application. 2. The existing building uses an existing septic system and a copy of the septic permit is included with this a pplication. 3-11. n/a Public Works Questions 1. a. Our traffic plan changes throughout the year. In the summer, we anticipate 6 to 8 round trips in and out of the property each day by pickups, 1 & 2 ton trucks, personal and employee vehicles; Monday through Saturday between the hours of 6:45am and 5pm. We deliver produce outside the area in 1 & 2 ton trucks 4 days a week on Tue, Wed. Thr & Sat. and will leave and return once a day. 2 employee vehicles will arrive and leave once a day Monday through Saturday between 6:45 & 7am and again between 5 & 5:30pm. Plus personal vehicles can enter and leave property 7 days a week between the hours of 6:30am and 8pm but normally do not do so even day. In the winter, we anticipate 2 to 4 round trips in and out of the property each day by pickups, 1 & 2 ton trucks, personal and employee vehicles; Monday through Saturday between the hours of 7:45am and 5pm. We deliver produce outside the area once every two weeks on Wednesday; so a 2 ton truck will leave and return once that day. 2 employee vehicles will arrive and leave once a day Monday through Friday between 6:45 & 7am then again between 5 & 5:30pm. Plus personal vehicles can enter and leave property 7 days a week between the hours of 6:30am and 8pm but normally do not do so every day. All vehicles will enter and leave from the south side of the property off of CR 48. 90% of the vehicles will travel to and from the west from CR 49. 10% of the vehicles will travel to and from the east from CR 53. We expect the highest traffic volumes to be in the morning between 6:45 and 7am in the summer. 2. There is an existing access that sits to the north of CR 48 between CR 53 and 51. 3. Development of the site for the change of use does not increase the imperviousness of the site. Building Questions The 5 acre area includes 9 buildings & 3 coolers: Metal Barn: 78x80 = 6240' (60x80 barn = 4800' and 18x80 Office, breakroom and storage areas = 1400').

It must disclose all material terms and conditions of employment. This includes all relevant job and employment -related information (experience requirements, drug tests, background checks, work rules, housing, transportation, etc.). 't &quested:. [ :a,te of Need The dates of need for your H -2A contract period are critical. Your contract start date should be the earliest date you can justify needing the full number of requested H -2A workers. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) requires a separate "labor market test' (Le., Job Order) for each start date, thereby prohibiting staggered worker arrivals. If you are a prior H -2A program user, DOL requires a written explanation for any significant changes to your established dates of need. You will need to explain any change of more than two weeks from your previous start or end date, masH2A will include an explanatory letter with your Job Order, You have indicated the following as your dates of need: Contract Start Date: 312/2020 Contract End Date: 11/30/2020 See fastTracksM 1 for information about the applicable filing window. You should consult with your Case Manager immediately if you have any concerns about the above dates of need. Processing delays may cause foreign workers may arrive slightly later than yourcontract start date. Regardless of when foreign workers arrive, you must allow any recruited U.S. workers to begin work no later than the contract start date (and guarantee the first week's wages). Filing your Job Order on or near the earliest possible date reduces the risk of late foreign worker arrival. You may request a delay of your contract start date up to ten (10) business days prior to your contract start date. Please notify masH2A in a timely manner if you intend to request a delay. 2.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS H -2A workers can only perform the job duties specified in your job description. H -2A workers cannot perform any job duties that you do not specify. Therefore, you should make sure that your job description is complete and accurate. However, you should also consider how the job description affects your U.S. workers. Workers who perform the same duties described in your Job Order, or any duties performed by H -2A workers, are considered to be in 'corresponding employment.' US, workers in corresponding employment are entitled to the same terms and conditions of employment as the H -2A workers, including the H -2A wage rate and three -fourths guarantee. This is the case even if the U.S.. workers refuse to sign the Ha2A contract. U.S. workers are considered to be "corresponding" by virtue of the job duties they perform, and cannot waive any of the benefits or I protections to which they are entitled under the regulations. In light of the foregoing, you should avoid making your job description overly broad. It should be broad enough to encompass all tasks that you anticipate H -2A workers may need to perform, but narrowly tailored to include only those tasks for which you are prepared to pay the H -2A wage rate. A If you choose to adopt a narrow job description, you may consider submitting multiple Job Orders for shorter time i nter►vals in order to cover any additional needs. Contact mashi2A to discuss whether multiple Job Orders may be appropriate. C.

Workers will be taken into town semi-monthly (and nomore than weekly) by us in a CDOT certified van. 4. We have the option to have them live and work at the farm for up to ten months. We opted to have them for nine months this year. We negotiate new terms every year. 5. We do not have portable toilets because we have an outdoor bathroom available to them within a quarter mile from all work sites. They also have indoor bathrooms available to them at that same distance from the work sites. This meets the standard requirement for the H2A program. Thank you and stay healthy! See you in a couple of months. Jacquie Monroe Monroe Organic Farms, Ilc 970-284-7941 25525 WCR 48 Kersey, CO 80644 monroefarm.corn > Hi - • Hope you are well.

Workers will be taken into town weekly by us in a DOT certified van. Are we still going to have the meeting on March 23rd and can the meeting be held by phone?
