feature of the County. 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.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing

several residences being to the south of the property line adjacent to County Road 34.5, with one
residence located to the northeast and east of County Road 49. Staff has received no letters,
telephone calls or electronic mail from interested parties.
Green River mailed a letter on July 16,2018 to all neighbors within 500-feet of the half-section of land
on which the facility is proposed. The letter included a description of the project and a map to
illustrate the location of the project. Green River asked that the neighbors contact them if they have
any questions or concerns about the application. Green River's goal will be to identify any concerns
that neighbors have,and to work with them to try and find a way to address the concerns ahead of time
so that the neighbors feel comfortable with the proposed facility. As of the date of this staff report there
has been no correspondence received.
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

41. 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
RESOLUTION USR18-0084
OGG & S AND THE STROH FAMILY TRUST, C/O GREEN RIVER DEVCO LP
PAGE 9
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.
