26. 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
states 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.
27. 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 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

will be on site only to pick up and drop off trucks. There will be up to 10 semi -trucks and five (5) employee
parking spaces provided on site_
Commissioner Ford asked if there is any concern with the left-hand turn into the property because there is
a lot of high-speed traffic on Highway 52. Ms. Stonberg said that in conversations with CDOT they didn't
express any concern with the left-hand turn.
Commissioner Sparrow referred to the 10 trucks and five employees and asked the applicant to explain the
difference. Ms. Stonberg said that they have asked about the possibility of increasing the number of
employees in the future. However. she added that the applicant will only have 10 semi -trucks on site.

Reynaldo Rodriguez, 20649 Highway 52. Hudson, Colorado, said that he currently has six trucks but plans
to buy additional trucks in the future.
Commissioner Sparrow referred to some fatal accidents in the general area and asked the applicant for
their opinion on what is happening. Mr. Rodriguez said from what he has observed. it seems that traffic is
usually in a rush to pass trucks with on -coming traffic. He said that recently there was a stolen car which
passed a semi -truck on the left-hand side and hit an on -coming car. He also mentioned another accident
where a car hit a crane.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
No one wished to speak.

sentence "Portable toilets shall be screened from existing adjacent residential properties" at the end of

Elijah Hatch Motion carried unanimously.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the amended Development Standards and

correction as the request is for a year-round operation. She added that originally it was mentioned that the
operations would only be from April 1 s' to September 201h: however, the business will operate year-round.
