The storage yard and the compressor station will support oil and gas related activities in the surrounding region. It will be located on lands owned by BBC's subsidiary that are currently non -irrigated rangeland located in a rural area with existing oil and gas activity. The compressor station will also limit the need for other stations like it in the immediate region. This will further minimize the impacts current and future oil and gas production facilities will have on the ongoing agricultural operations in the surrounding region. Section 22-2-80 F. I. Goal 6. States -Minimize the incompatibilities that occur between industrial uses and surrounding properties. The proposed facility is located in a sparsely occupied area of the County and is surrounded by dryland agricultural properties having low density residential development and many oil and gas encumbrances, Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Section 23-3-40 A.2 of the Weld County Code allows for mineral resource development facilities including oil and gas support and service though approval of a Use by Special Review permit in the A (Agricultural) zone district. Also Section 23-3-40. BB allows for more than two (2) cargo containers as an accessory structure in the A (Agricultural) Zone District upon approval of the Special Review Permit.

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 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. 38. 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. RESOLUTION 1MJUSR18-15-0078 CIRCLE B LAND COMPANY, LLC, C/O BILL BARRETT CORPORATION PAGE 9 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.

Ryder Reddick, Planning Services, presented Case 1 MJUSR18-15-0078, reading the recommendation and comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of approval and development standards. Hayley Balzano, Public Works, reported on the existing traffic, access to the site and the 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. Ms. Light suggested reviewing the noise development standard as it is currently I sted as the residential noise limit. Doug Dennison, Highpoint Resources, 33105 CR 33, Greeley, Colorado stated that subsequent to this application being submitted, Bill Barrett Corporation and Fifth Creek Energy merged to form a new company called Highpoint Resources. He added that Circle B Land Company is still a subsidiary of Highpoint Resources so that relationship has not changed. Mr. Dennison said that this site is in a very rural area and dominated mostly by some grazing and some oil and gas activity. These compressor stations are very critical to their operations to be able to continue to produce their wells in this region. Commissioner Jemiola referred to Development Standard 14 as suggested by Staff. Ms. Light said that this is in a rural area with the nearest residence approximately one (1) mile away. Mr. Jemiola asked the applicant if they would accept the change to the light industrial noise limit. Mr. Dennison replied that he would appreciate the change. Commissioner Jchnson said that this area is fairly sandy and asked the applicant if they are aware of what needs to be done to keep that from blowing. Mr. Dennison said that when this site is first disturbed any of the spoils, piles or cut banks will have blanketing or using a lot of hydro mulch to keep it from blowing around until it is revegetated. The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. No one wished to speak. Motion: Amend Development Standard 14 to change the noise limit from the Residential Zone to the Light Industrial Zone, Moved by Jordan Jemiola, Seconded by Lonnie Ford.
