1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of the
Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff 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 22-2-20. G.A.Goal 7. states "County land use regulations should protect the individual
property owner's right to request a land use change."
The property historically was a large tract of agriculture land with a residence and outbuildings that
in 2006 was split into two equal parcels through the Recorded Exemption land use application
process. The easternmost parcel was without improvements and is viable for development.
Section 22-2-20.G.2 A.Policy 7.2 states "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential,
commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject site is in an area that
can support such development, and should attempt to be compatible with the region."
The proposed facility is located east of a permitted mini -storage and RV surface parking area
(USR15-0045) that gains access from the same private easement. This property is adjacent to
County Road 7 a paved road that is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map as
an arterial road, which requires 140 feet of right-of-way and the proposed facility is also within 3200
feet of the intersection of County Road 7 and Highway 7 (County Road 2) within the City and
County of Broomfield.
Section 22-2-20.H.3. A.Policy 8.3. The land use applicants should demonstrate that the roadway
facilities associated with the proposed development are adequate in width, classification and
structural capacity to serve the proposed land use change.
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the proposal having direct access onto County Road 7 a
paved arterial road that is maintained by Weld County. Access to the property is via a private

easement from the site entrance/exit to the County Road 7 access point. The existing access and
utility easement is 30 -feet in width created on March 25, 1974 under Reception number 1632579. As
a condition of approval, a Weld County Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement with
triggers is required for off -site improvements.
Section 22-2-20.D. A.Goal 4. states "Promote a quality environment which is free of derelict
vehicles, refuse, litter and other unsightly materials."
The applicant indicates that at no time will a vehicle that is inoperable (unable to move under its
own power); is partially or totally dismantled: has all or portions of its body work missing or is
substantially damaged: does not have valid registration with the State, as required by Section 42-3-
103. 42-3-138 or 42-12-102, C.R.S., and/or the number plate assigned to it is not permanently
attached to the vehicle, as required by Section 42-3-123, C.R.S.; or is lacking proper equipment to
the extent that it would be unsafe or illegal to use on public road rights -of -way or otherwise not
equipped with lamps and other equipment, as required in Sections 42-4-202 to 42-2-227. C.R.S. be
parked or stored on premises. The applicant is providing a dumpster for disposal of trash and is
also proposing two (2) dump stations to address effluent transfer from the recreational vehicles to a
sealed vault that is pumped on a regular basis by a licensed service provider.
Section 22-6-20.C.1 ECON.Policy 3.1. states "County activities and regulation should protect the
rights of private property owners and the public health, safety and welfare, recognizing that these
basic rights and protections allow the free market to prosper and grow the local economy."
The proposed facility location and the property surrounding the site is predominately comprised of
agricultural and residential lots. There are new residential communities being developed to the
south, southwest, and southeast of the site. This proposed business provides those residents of
the aforementioned communities with an opportunity to store their recreational vehicles close to
home without violating their HOA covenants.
The proposed use is in an area that can support this development and the proposed landscape
treatment, limited downcast security and operational lighting and opaque screening, the Development
Standards, and the Conditions of Approval will assist in mitigating the impacts of the facility on the
adjacent properties and ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses and the region.
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 consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.S
which allows for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for any Use
Permitted as a Use By Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use By Special Review in the Commercial or
Industrial Zone Districts (RV and boat storage, two dump stations, a 100,000 gallon fire suppression
tank, steel framed enclosed and covered parking garages, one 6000 SF steel framed RV
maintenance shop with office and security living quarters) provided that the property is not a lot in an
approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any
regulations controlling subdivisions.
The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas for the conduct of uses by Special
Review which have been determined to be more intense or to have a potentially greater impact
than uses Allowed by Right. The A (Agricultural) Zone District regulations are established to
promote the health, safety and general welfare of the present and future residents of the County.
Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.

Lands less than one-half mile to the west have been annexed into the Town of Erie as part of the
Vista Ridge subdivision and lands less than one -eighth of a mile to the south are within the City and
County of Broomfield and are developing as residential subdivisions.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services sent notice to twenty-two (22) Surrounding
Property Owners. Planning staff received no correspondence from surrounding property owners within
500 feet of the parent parcel. Planning staff have received two (2) telephone calls from property
owners within the Ranch Eggs subdivision who held concerns with traffic, lighting and property value
devaluation.
The applicant has been in contact with the Surrounding Property Owners and conducted a community
meeting on January 17, 2019 with the Homeowners Association for Ranch Eggs, Inc. The applicant
submitted copies of the proposed facility plan and information contained in the USR application file.
The applicant has also had informal conversations with neighbors to the west who share the common
easement access onto County Road 7.

ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected municipalities.
The site is located within the three (3) mile referral area of Town of Erie. City of Northglenn, City and
County of Broomfield and Adams County. The City of Northglenn in their referral dated December 20,
2018 indicated no conflicts with their interests. The Town of Erie in their referral dated December 21,
2018 stated "Weld County has previously met with the Town of Erie and the City and County of
Broomfield to discuss the growing traffic along WCR 7 and the lack of improvements being done
by developments along it. As this County development directly fronts WCR 7, the Town is curious
what improvements the County will be requiring this development complete to WCR 7." The City
and County of Broomfield in their referral dated January 8, 2019 indicated "The City and County of
Broomfield has reviewed your referral and have made the comments contained in this letter.
1. It appears right-of-way is being preserved for the future widening of CR 7. It is unclear how far
the fence is being setback from the current roadway and how that in addition to a berm impacts
visibility.
2. The traffic study should address any impacts to CR 7 at State Highway 7.
a What roadway improvements are proposed on CR 7? There do not appear to be any shown for
turning movements of large vehicles and trucks pulling trailers.
4. How is the site and parking areas being screened from CR 7 and adjacent residential properties?
Appropriate screening is needed."

Adams County did not provide a referral response.
The Town of Erie in the Comprehensive Plan - 2015 Update Land Use Plan map identifies the
project area as being within the jurisdiction of the City and County of Broomfield.
The City and County of Broomfield in their 2016 Comprehensive Plan Land Use map designates
the lands east of Sheridan Parkway and South of Lowell Lane as residential with limited
commercial development proposed for lands north of Highway 7 (County Road 2) east of Sheridan
and west of the new aligned Huron Street (CR 7.5) Lands to the west of County Road 7 and south
of Lowell Lane are slated for 1010 residential units in the Highland subdivision and lands to the
east of County Road 7 south of Lowell Lane are slated for 377 residential units in the Palisade
subdivision.
Adams County and the City of Northglenn while within the three (3) mile referral area are not
adjacent to Weld County for this proposed project location.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and Xl. of the Weld
County Code.
The property is located within the Geologic Hazard Overlay District, where lands are prone to
subsidence, or the sinking or settling of the ground surface. Ground subsidence can result from the
settlement of native low -density soils, or the caving in of natural or man-made underground voids.
Subsidence may occur gradually over many years as sags or depressions form on the ground
surface. It's more infrequent, but subsidence can occur abruptly -virtually instantly -as dangerous
ground openings that could swallow any part of a structure that happen to lie at that location or leave
a dangerous steep -sided hole. In Weld County, the types of subsidence of greatest concern are
settlement related to collapsing soils and the ground subsidence over abandoned mine workings. The
Colorado Geologic Survey reviewed this application and their referral dated January 10. 2019
indicated no concerns with the proposed development.
The property is not within MS4 area, Special Flood Hazard Area or the Airport Overlay District.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide
Road Impact Fee, the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime agricultural
land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The proposed facility is located on approximately 9 acres of Prime [Irrigated] lands per the 1979 Soil
Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The property is located within an
urbanizing area, has no irrigation water available to the property and given the location, the highest
and best use may not be agriculture production.
F. 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), Conditions 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.
This recommendation is based, in part. upon a review of the application materials submitted by the applicant,
other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.

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.

42. 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
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.

Kim Ogle. Planning Services. presented Case USR18-0125, reading the recommendation and comments
into the record. The Planning Department received 30 letters of correspondence concerning this land use
application. One neighbor adjacent to the north of the property said he had no opposition to the application
because of the other commercial uses in the near proximity but had concerns with hours of operation. dust.
access and lighting. Staff received 9 letters from property owners within 500 feet from the site and 19
letters from property owners and neighbors who live within the greater Ranch Eggs neighborhood. Letters
expressed concerns with traffic. excessive speed. large trucks on narrow roads. lack of shoulders. dust.
lighting. hours of operation. endangerment of water quality. injury to water and easement rights.
incompatibility. property values. quality of life, loss of rural residential feel and blocking the area views of
the front range. Mr. Ogle read into record a letter of opposition received from the Ranch Eggs
Neighborhood Association Board on March 29, 2019. The letter contained a list of conditions of approval
the association would like to see added to mitigate their concerns. The letter can be found as Document
30 in the Inventory. Staff received 3 phone calls regarding this case. The Department of Planning Services
recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of approval and development
standards.
Commissioner Ford asked if the property to the north was a commercial salvage yard. Staff replied that it
was private property.
Mike McRoberts. 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.
1
The Chair asked staff if the RV dumping would go into the septic system or an isolated vault. Ms. Light
said it would go into an isolated vault with an alarm.
Kristie and Danny Oenes, 587 County Road 7, Erie, Colorado. Ms. Oenes said they purchased the property
approximately 2 years ago in hopes to build an RV storage facility. She said there will be approximately
268 spaces that include open parking, covered parking, some parking in enclosed garages. Ms. Oenes
stated that they plan on building the facility in 3 phases. The first phase will include excavating the land,
putting down recycles asphalt and enclosing the property with an 8 ft fence so they can open to the public
for open and covered parking. During the second phase, they plan to build a 6,000-sf metal shop that will
be an RV maintenance facility. Mr. Oenes will be the primary mechanic in the shop. The third phase will
be building enclosed garages. Mr. Oenes said they plan to place a stainless -steel drip pan under every
vehicle with a motor or generator to ensure no contamination on the land.
Commissioner Cope asked the applicants how the two fire hydrants were going to be fed. Mr. Oenes said
from the pump house/storage tank. Commissioner Cope asked if a residence was proposed for the site.
Mr. Oenes said there will be a small apartment in the shop area for the night guard.
Commissioner Stille asked the applicant to elaborate on the lighting and security. Mr. Oenes said the
lighting will meet the Dark Sky standards and will be shaded so light goes directly down. He said the shop
will have a light on the man door. Ms. Oenes said the site will be gated and the customer will need to have
an access code. She said there will be security cameras and they also plan to have a camera pointed at
the license plates of the vehicles that enter the site.
Commissioner Holland asked the applicant if they have a water connection with Left Hand Water. The
applicant said he spoke with them and they provided them with a letter that they can provide water.
Commissioner Holland asked the applicant if they own the irrigation rights. Mr. Oenes said they don't.
Arthur Kohn, 2790 175th Avenue, Erie, Colorado. Mr. Kohn expressed concern about traffic on County
Road 7, He said he has a contract with the dump that they will not use County Road 7. Mr. Kohn is
concerned the business may be in a flood area and may cause flooding to other properties if they change
the level of their property.
Mr. Ogle told The Chair that during the applicant's presentation they mentioned their facility would be done
in three phases and that information was not provided in the application. Therefore, staff was unaware of
the phases. Mr. Ogle said that Environmental Health may have some conditions to be applied to the first
phase of the project.
Ms. Light said she was not aware of the three phases. She said they will have to have a portable toilet in
the first phase and she will need to add a Development Standard for that.
Ashleigh Merritt, 645 County Road 7, Erie, Colorado. Ms. Merritt stated her property is directly across the
street from the proposed RV storage facility. She said that they purchased their property twenty years ago
because of the charming history, breathtaking views and community feel. Ms. Merritt said they built their
house so they could enjoy views from every room and she is upset that her view will be RVs and boats.
They have livestock on their property and she expressed concern of the RV parking facility not being
compatible with the neighborhood.
Jamie Merritt, 645 County Road 7. Erie, Colorado. Mr. Merritt stated he was Ashleigh's husband. He said
he strongly opposes the proposal and hopes the Planning Commission will deny High Plain's their
application. He expressed concern with High Plains not being compatible in their neighborhood. He said
it is in contrast to the Planning Commission's March 19th decision to endorse Weld County's Ordinance
2019-02 which would prevent this property from being commercially developed. Mr. Merritt is concerned
about health. safety, convenience and general welfare of present and future residents. He said it will be an
eye sore and decrease property values. Mr. Merritt is concerned about future flooding.
Commissioner Cope asked the applicant if the irrigation ditch that goes across the applicant's property
serves his property and his neighbor's property. Mr. Merritt said that is correct. Commissioner Cope asked
if the ditch is controlled by a head gate. Mr. Merritt said it is controlled by a pump that lifts the water from
2
the ditch up and gravity feeds the water to his property. He said the proposed piping would not work
because of the grade change the applicant plans on doing.
Herbert Riehl, 3398 County Road 4, Erie, Colorado. Mr. Riehl said he lives on the north edge of Ranch
Eggs subdivision. He said he is concerned about the compatibility of an RV storage facility in a residential
area. Mr. Riehl showed some pictures of other storage facilities in the area to show examples of how their
views will be.
Dee Trembath, 3376 Longview Road, Erie, Colorado. Ms. Trembath stated that she is part of the RENA's
Membership. She said she lives on County Road 6 and that road is impacted by the existing RV storage
facilities along the road. Ms. Trembath said there is a lot of traffic because the people have access to the
sites 24 hours a day. She said that a lot of people do not comply with the posted speed limit. Ms. Trembath
is concerned about the lighting.
Shawn Davies, 589 County Road 7, Erie, Colorado. Mr. Davies said he is part of the Spirit Heart Ranch
which is the residence and horse facility on the western property line that borders the applicant's property.
He said the owner of the property, Tana Shultz, purchased the property three years ago and they have a
partnership with the horse facility. Mr. Davies said they have worked hard to renovate the property. He
doesn't want their views and property values affected. He is also concerned about flooding.
Commissioner Cope asked Mr. Davies if his facility and the Cultural Center across the street are serviced
by the same private road. Mr. Davies said yes. Commissioner Cope asked how much traffic there is now.
Mr. Davies said he would estimate 4 to 5 homes down the road. He said the Buddhist Church has quite a
bit of traffic. Mr. Davies said they get traffic on the weekends for their horse facility. Commissioner Cope
asked if the neighbors have discussed paving the road. Mr. Davies said it is too expensive.
Commissioner Hatch asked Mr. Davis who grades and maintains the private road. Mr. Davies said one of
the neighbors grades it.
Commissioner Johnson asked who has the right to use that road. Mr. Davies said it is his understanding
that it is for the use of the residents who live on that road. They have access up until their properties but
cannot use it past their property.
Ed Kosorok, 3923 County Road 6, Erie, Colorado. Mr. Kosorok said they have a good business plan just
not in their neighborhood. He feels their lifestyle will be impinged upon. Mr. Kosorok is concerned about
safety and mentioned when the Sheriff's office is called, it takes two hours for them to show up.
Chris Raimo. Secretary of the Ranch Eggs Neighborhood Association, 914 County Road 7, Erie, Colorado.
Ms. Raimo said they bought their home 18 years ago. She said they have spent the last three years
updating their home. Ms. Raimo said their neighborhood is a neighborhood in transition and residents have
invested in improving their homes and the neighborhood. She does not want their view to be an RV parking
facility.
Commissioner Johnson asked Ms. Raimo what the intent of Ranch Eggs Neighborhood Association is to
address the other properties in the neighborhood that are in disrepair. Ms. Raimo explained the Association
does not have any power to enforce Weld County zoning regulations. She said they have had
conversations with Weld County Zoning and have asked the County to help bring these properties into
compliance. Commissioner Johnson asked if the Association has ordinance and convenants. Ms. Johnson
said they do not. Commissioner Johnson asked what services the Association provides. Ms. Johnson said
it provides representation in matters such as this hearing and membership services in dealing with the
landfill.
Commissioner Cope asked Ms. Raimo if she knew who has access and rights to use the access road. Ms.
Raimo said it is how Mr. Davies explained it; It is a private access way that is not in the Ranch Egg
Subdivision and is limited for the use of residents who own property along the road.
Sherri Struble. 3310 Johnson Lane, Erie, Colorado. Ms. Struble said that she is the President of the Ranch
Eggs Neighborhood Association. Ms. Struble stated that Ranch Eggs has suffered by the encroachment
of Broomfield's housing developments. She said she feels it is difficult to get Weld County to be aware of
3
the concerns of their small community. Ms. Struble said she would love for Weld County to help get the
neighborhood in compliance. She asked the Planning Commission to deny the request.
Commissioner Ford asked if Lowell Lane was the County Line Road. Ms. Struble replied it is the County
Line between Broomfield County and Weld County: it used to be Highway 7, but Broomfield annexed up to
Lowell Lane. Commissioner Ford asked if all the houses to the south of Lowell Lane were in Broomfield.
Ms. Struble replied that was correct.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the applicant's property was within the Association's boundaries. Ms.
Struble said the boundaries are along all four sides of the applicant's property.
Mike Schweitzer, 3298 County Road 4, Vice President of Ranch Eggs Neighborhood Association. Mr.
Schweitzer said he feels the RV storage should go in a commercial zoned area not in their rural residential
area. He said their neighborhood is in transition and asked the Board to help the subdivision recover.
The Chair said he appreciated Mr. Schweitzer's passion for his neighborhood. Mr. Schweitzer said their
homes are their investments and he hopes the Planning Commission will help protect that.
Sandra Barnett, 3160 Johnson Lane, Erie, Colorado. Ms. Barnett said she purchased her property in 1966.
She spoke about the history of the Ranch Eggs Subdivision. Ms. Barnett said she does not want to step
out her front door and look at a storage unit.
Chris Raimo asked to read a letter into the record from neighbor Bob Graeber. 593 County Road 7. Erie,
Colorado. Mr. Graeber wrote that he owns vacant land directly south of the applicant's property and he is
concerned about his property values going down. Ms. Raimo said he wants to sell the vacant land for
residential purposes. Mr. Graeber expressed concern about the private road and flooding.
Commissioner Cope asked if Mr. Graeber stated what his intended use of his vacant land is in his letter.
Ms. Raimo said he did not, but that he has personally shared with them he would like to sell three 3 -acre
lots for residential use. She said he owns a water tap on the property.
The Chair called a recess at 5:00 p.m. and reconvened the hearing at 5:11 p.m.
The Chair stated that the County Attorney has done some research on the private access road. Mr. Choate
said the road is a deeded right-of-way through various deeds occurring in the late 60s, early 70s. Any
residents to the west are allowed to use the road up to their property. The road is not designed for properties
to the east. Property owners can use the road to access their property in any way as long as it doesn't
interfere with the properties to the west who use the road.
Ms. Oenes said that no one coming in or out of their facility will have to go beyond their property so the
properties to the west of them will not be impacted.
The Chair asked the applicants to address the concerns about flooding. Commissioner Beck said he
doesn't think the applicant have to address flooding concerns. He feels they only need to address the fact
that they have an irrigation ditch going through their property and they are responsible to allow the water to
be delivered from one side to the other. Commissioner Wailes said they do have a responsibility to maintain
historical flow. The release rate has to be the undeveloped site 10 -year historic storm amount.
Ms. Balzano from Public Works said they are required to detain the 100 -year storm run off from their site,
which is what their pond does. If they raise their site, they need to contain the off -site run off as it is routing
around that site without impacting other properties negatively. Ms. Balzano said she needs to research the
culvert to find out who owns it.
Commissioner Holland asked Ms. Balzano if she knows where the 100 -year floodplain is across the site.
Ms. Balzano said it is not located on the site or within a mile from any direction.
Commissioner Holland asked the applicant who owns the water rights. Mr. Oenes said the property owners
to the east of County Road 7 own the water rights. He said it releases from a pumphouse into a ditch that
comes across their property. Mr. Oenes said he will have an engineer figure out the water control issues.
4
The Chair asked the applicant to address the lighting concerns and hours of operation. Ms. Oenes said
that they requested 24/7 hours in their application, but they are willing to change their hours to 6:00 a.m. -
10:00 p.m. in order to address the neighbors' concerns. Mr. Oenes said the lighting will have 90' angled
shades that direct the light down and lighting will be motion activated.
Ms. Oenes said they do care about the neighbors concerns about property values. She said they are willing
to mitigate with the neighbors to address their concerns. Ms. Oenes said she feels that speed limit concerns
are everywhere. Ms. Oenes questioned why only one surrounding property owner opposed the other USR
for an RV parking facility in the neighborhood in 2016. She said the vacant land they purchased was for
sale for a long time and feels that if someone wanted to preserve that vacant land it was available for
purchase to anyone.
The Chair asked the applicants for clarification on their plans for phased construction of their business. Mr.
Genes explained for the first phase. they plan to do the grading, detention pond. fencing, security system,
fire prevention system and a, mobile office with portable toilets. He said the second phase will be to build
the shop. The third phase will be to build the enclosed garages. The Chair asked the applicant if they will
be open for business during the first phase. Mr. Oenes said once everything is completed and in
compliance. they will open.
Commissioner Cope asked how the parking space lines will be delineated on the gravel. Mr. Oenes said
they will use metal stakes and run nylon rope to make the lines. They will also stake metal tags into the
ground that show the row and parking space number.
Ms. Light said the mobile office and phased construction was not mentioned in their application, so some
new development standards will need to be added. She read into record a new Development Standard 21
that reads, "For 10 or less customers or visitors per day, and 2 or less full-time employees on site. portable
toilets are acceptable. Records of maintenance and proper disposal for portable toilets shall be retained on
a quarterly basis and available for review by the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment. Portable toilets shall be serviced by a cleaner licensed in Weld County. contain hand
sanitizers and be screened from public view."
Motion: Add new Condition of Approval 21 and re -number accordingly as requested by Staff. Moved by
Richard Beck, Seconded by Bruce Johnson. Motion carried unanimously.
In reference to the shop, Ms. Light read into the record a new Development Standard 18 that reads,
"Process wastewater (such as floor drain wastes) shall be captured in a watertight vault and hauled off for
proper disposal. Records of installation, maintenance. and proper disposal shall be retained."
Motion: Add new Condition of Approval 18 and re -number accordingly as requested by Staff. Moved by
Richard Beck, Seconded by Lonnie Ford. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Ogle made a recommendation to add a new Development Standard 4 to read. `Vehicular access to the
fence -enclosed parking area is restricted to 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m., daily.
Commissioner Cope recommended Development Standard 3 be changed to read, "The shop hours of
operation are..."
Motion: Amend Condition of Approval 3 and add new Condition of Approval 4 and re -number accordingly
as requested by Staff, Moved by Tom Cope. Seconded by Bruce Johnson. Motion carried unanimously.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Amended Development Standards and
Conditions of Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in
agreement.
Commissioner Holland expressed his sympathy for those who want to live in Weld County because of what
Weld County represents. On the other hand. he said he also has support for what the Weld County
Commissioners are trying to accomplish. Commissioner Holland stated he lives in the area and believes
5
that the area is surrounded by unfortunate circumstances such as the landfill and growth of Erie and
Broomfield.
Commissioner Holland said he recommends denial based on Weld County Code, Section 23-2-220.A.3
that indicates the uses which will be permitted will be compatible with existing and surrounding land uses.
Commissioner Stille provided the second based on Weld County Code, Section 23-2-220A.3, A.4, and A.7
in addition to Section 22-2-20.H.3.
Motion: Forward Case USR18-0125 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Conditions of
Approval and Amended Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
denial, Moved by Skip Holland, Seconded by Gene Stille.
Vote: Motion failed (summary: Yes = 2, No = 6, Abstain = 0).
Yes: Gene Stille. Skip Holland.
No: Bruce Johnson. Elijah Hatch, Lonnie Ford. Michael Wailes, Richard Beck, Tom Cope.
Absent: Bruce Sparrow.
Commissioner Hatch said he believes it is compatible with the other land uses in the area.
Commissioners Beck and Ford also said they believe it is compatible with the other land uses in the area.
Commissioner Cope said he thinks it is compatible with the other land uses in the area. He said there is
another commercial business west of the property and the property across the street is a church. He said
he feels this will be a fairly low impact to the semi neighborhood area.
Commissioner Johnson said he concurs with the other Planning Commissioners. He suggested the
subdivision get an attorney and set some ordinances and regulations for the community to follow.
Motion: Forward Case USR18-0125 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Conditions of
Approval and Amended Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
approval, Moved by Bruce Johnson, Seconded by Lonnie Ford.
Vote: Motion passed (summary: Yes = 6, No = 2. Abstain = 0).
Yes: Bruce Johnson, Elijah Hatch, Lonnie Ford, Michael Wailes, Richard Beck, Tom Cope.
No: Gene Stille. Skip Holland.
Absent: Bruce Sparrow.
Commissioner Johnson said he feels staff did a good job of proving their recommendation, and he feels the
applicant is doing their best to address all the concerns of neighbors.
Commissioner Beck shared his experience of a 70 -acre horse property he purchased in 1971. He said that
after 20-30 years, civilization caught up to his property and he no longer could preserve the view he had.
He sold his property and moved further into the country. Commissioner Beck said he sympathizes with the
community, but growth is happening all around us. He also explained that as the Planning Commission,
they have to base their recommendations on County Code.
Commissioner Hatch said he believes it is compatible with the other land uses in the area.
Commissioner Holland stated he is opposed to it.
Commissioner Stille said he does not believe it is compatible with the rural, ag. horse environment.
Commissioner Wailes stated that he feels RV storage is a low impact on a neighborhood. He said he has
one in his neighborhood. The Chair referred to Ms. Barnett's testimony about the history of Ranch Eggs,
and said the community was built out of enterprise. He said that enterprise is changing but perhaps the
community can have some pride that their community still has some enterprise.
Meeting adjourned at 5:57 pm.
