Lot B of Recorded Exemption RE -5012; located in Part of the N2SW4 of Section 12, T4N, R65W of the 6'h PM, Weld County, Colorado 1A Mile West of County Road 49 and 1/2 mile south of County Road 48. +/- 56.55 acres Parcel No. 1055-12-3-00-002 The applicant is proposing an unimproved airstrip to be utilized by a skydiving. The applicant will not be piloting the planes. The application indicates up to two (2) pilots would be landing plans at the facility. The application that no traffic will be coming to or from the property. The applicant has indicated that the airstrip will be for no more than 10 takeoffs and landings per day and no more than 3 days per week. The airstrip will be utilized by single -engine aircraft. A general aviation airport is located on the property to the north (Easton). DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 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. A.Goal 9. of the Weld County Code states "Reduce potential conflicts between varying land uses in the conversion of traditional agricultural lands to other land uses." The applicant is required to address the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration as a condition of approval. Limitations on the number of takeoffs and landings, hours of operation, type of aircraft are attached as development standards. These conditions of approval and development standards will reduce potential conflicts with uses in the area (including the adjacent airport). A.Policy 9.5. of the Weld County Code states, "Applications for a change of land use in the agricultural areas should be reviewed in accordance with all potential impacts to surrounding properties and referral agencies." USR18-0120, Bar Nine LLC The conditions of approval and development standards will reduce potential conflicts with existing uses in the area (including the development standard that the applicant coordinate traffic patterns with airports in the area). B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40.F of the Weld County Code allows airports and airstrips as a Use by Special Review Permit in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. The A (Agricultural) Zone District is intended to provide areas for the conduct of agricultural activities and activities related to agriculture and agricultural production without the interference of other, incompatible land uses. The A (Agricultural) Zone District is also 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. The proposed airstrip will not impact agricultural operations on the property. Development standards and conditions of approval (limiting hours and number of take -offs and landings, addressing conditions of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will mitigate impacts on adjacent properties. C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. The proposed landing strip is located immediately to the south of an airstrip/airport facility established as a Non -Conforming Use under NCU-345 (Easton Valley View Airfield). The applicant operates a ballfield facility (approved under USR-1770) on the property immediately to the east of the site. A residence on a parcel owned by the applicant is located immediately to the northeast of the property the airstrip is to be located on. Additional residences are located approximately 1/8 mile to the west and range from approximately 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile to the east and northeast. One letter of objection has been received from Mr. Morrow (on behalf of Rocky Mountain Skydive). Rocky Mountain Skydive utilizes the Easton Valley View Airfield (an established NCU under NCU-345 to the north). The letter alleges dangerous encounters with skydivers from the applicant dropping onto Rocky Mountain Skydive. The letter alleges that he has filed 3 complaints with the FAA regarding safety violations. Also, the letter expresses concerns with opening a landing strip next to an established airport due to safety reasons. Mr. Johnson (the applicant) has provided a letter of response/refute to this letter and provided a scanned letter from the FAA in response to one of the complaints. A letter was received from Benjamin Whitney on behalf of Bob Easton (Easton Valley View Airfield). The letter objects and asserts that the application cannot meet three (3) of the criteria of approval for this USR due to the potential for negative impacts on the existing airport and safety concerns due to the proximity of aircraft and the potential for more skydivers in the area. Conditions of approval and development standards (including addressing Federal Aviation Requirements, limitations on take offs and landings, hours of operation, size of aircraft) have been attached to address compatibility with adjacent uses. D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected municipalities. USR18-0120, Bar Nine LLC The site is not located within a three (3) mile referral area of any municipality, nor is it located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA) of a municipality. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Articles V and XI, of the Weld County Code. The property is within the Airport Overlay District. The Greeley -Weld Airport Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County -Wide Road Impact Fee Program. Building Permits issued on the proposed lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs. F. 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 a property delineated as "Irrigated (Not Prime)" and "Prime (Irrigated)" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. The airstrip is unimproved and no cropland will be taken out of production. G. 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. The Federal Aviation Administration (in their letter dated 2/25/2019 and received 3/1/2019) indicated no objection/no objection with conditions. The letter states: "Our aeronautical study had determined that the establishment of the private use airport will not adversely affect the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft. We have no objections to this referral." There were conditions outlined in the letter, including a recommending coordinating traffic patterns with Easton Valley View and Greeley Weld Airport. The conditions outlined in the letter have been added as a condition of approval. Conditions of approval and development standards have been attached to address 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.

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. USR18-0120, Bar Nine LLC 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. 30. 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 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.
