CASE NUMBER: ; SUP-392 :79 :14 SUBJECT: Electric Transmission Line LOCATION : 30 miles long from northwest of Ault north to the Colorado-Wyoming Line APPEARANCE: Frank Niesen, Jim Ellis DISCUSSION: Chairman Carlson first asked Lee Morrison to explain the County' s situation in regard to this type of application. Mr. Morrison explained that it is the opinion of the County Attorney' s office that under the current regulations the County has no authority to prohibit a transmission line. The ultimate authority for allowing a transmission line lies at the State level and the County cannot completely stop the line from passing to the required points. Jim Ellis then gave the details of the need for power and why the lines are being built. This request is for the construction, replacement and maintenance of a 345 kV electrical transmission line for power from the Laramie River Generating Station to the Ault Substation. He stated that the trans- mission line will be of benefit to the transmission system as a whole in Colorado and Wyoming and also to Weld County consumers. Mr. Niesen then went into a great amount of detail bringing the Planning Commission up-to-date regarding when the project was first begun approximately nine years ago and the various permits and approvals that are required, etc. up to the present time. He also explained how the different routes were chosen and the possible effects on agriculture, the impact on vegetation,Iwildlife, economy of the area, human activity, .noise, radio-TV interference, etc. A condensed series of video tape of one hour flying time of the various routes were then shown which showed the various land uses and agricultural ground. Tom Honn then read the staff' s recommendation for the Center Route, Entry Route, and 6. 5 miles of the Substation Approach Route and the Development Standards. The Chairman then asked if anyone in the audience would like to make any comments regarding the application. At this time Norm Brown stated that he just wants them to make the best possible decision because wherever it ends up going it will involve him as he lives near the Ault Substation. Lois Jones stated that she had never been contacted at all regarding the request. Vernon Biamonte and Leo Scherrer also expressed concern regarding their property. General discussion followed.

Motion carried. SUBJECT: Consider a recommendation on proposed amendments to the Weld County Zoning Resolution which will clarify the duties and responsibilities of the Department of Planning Services, the Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners in actions concerning amendments to the map of the Zoning Resolution DISCUSSION: Thom Rounds, Planner for the Planning Department, stated that this was adopted on June 23 by the Planning Commission. During the time thatit was recommended to the Board of County Commissioners and actual actionitaken by them, the Department of Planning Services staff went back through the Amendment section and found some items that they feel needed to be changed, but these changes were not able to be made at the time of the Board of County Commissioners action. There were some language in the Statute that they were not comfortable with. The best way was to come before the Planning Commission and recommend additional amendments . He then briefly explained the recommended changes . One change was recommending that mineral rights owners as well as surface owners of land be notified of any proposed change of zone on the property. A great deal of discussion followed regarding this. Several member's of the Planning Commission were opposed to this notification of mineral rights holders.

The staff is recommending that this be deleted from the Zoning Resolution because the Planning Staff has no basis for requesting the Irenewal of signs and paying a fee on an annual basis.

LIND ATTORNEY AT LAW THE LAW BUILDING 1011 ELEVENTH AVENUE P.O.BOX 326 GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 TELEPHONE(303)3532323 May 8 , 1979 Weld County Planning Commission 915 10 Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re : Cornils Conditional Use Permit TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : Pursuant to the application procedures for a Conditional Use Permit , the following is a general description of the operations proposed by Mr. Cornils as Ault Aerial Applicators Inc. : Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc. . is a Colorado corporation established for the purpose of applying and dispensing economic pesticides , fertilizers , seed and other agricultural aerial applications in an efficient manner so as not to endanger human life , fish, wildlife or the surrounding environment. The principal operation is the construction and operation of an airstrip in the Northeast Quarter of Section 26 , Township 8 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P .M. , Weld County , Colorado . Due to the location and type of land for the airstrip , very minimal strip work is required , and the location allows Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc. to operate in an area in which many of the agricultural customers are located , thus allowing efficient and economical operations with quick turn-arounds for refueling and loading chemicals , and reducing ferry time , all of which result in cheaper costs to agricultural customers . As the proposed area is located northwest of Ault , this type of operation will produce minimal air pollution , no water pollution , odor , glare , fire or traffic congestion . The only air pollution will be that related to aircraft operation , and noise will be reduced as the aircraft owned by Ault Aerial Applicators is a Piper Pawnee which is one of the most quiet agricultural aircraft on today' s market , and produces no more noise than a modern farm tractor . The takeoff and landing corridors are not located over any type of improvements . In fact , the nearest home is located one mile to the west and the next closest homestead is 12 miles to the east . All takeoffs and landings will be from north to south and the closest improvements which would be underneath the takeoff or landing corridor are more than 2 miles away, which should produce no noise or safety dangers tir Weld County Planning Commission May 8 , 1979 Page 2 for those homesteads . Waste disposal related to aerial applications consists of empty combustible and noncombustible chemical containers . To promote good environmental practices through proper disposal and storage techniques for excess pesticide and pesticide related wastes , Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc . will strictly follow the guidelines established by the Hazardous Waste Management Section of the State Department of Environmental Control , and all pesticide manufacturer ' s disposal instructions . It is proposed that noncombustible containers will be rinsed with the rinse water used in the spraying operations as a spray dilutant. Large containers such as 30 and 55 gallon drums will be returned to the manufacturer, formulator or distributor for recycling or reuse . Small rinsed containers shall be punctured , crushed and buried in sanitary landfills , and due to the rinsing , there should be no harmful chemical residue . Combustible containers such as boxes or bags will be cut into pieces and taken to sanitary landfills for burial or burning in accordance with the then existing waste and pollution laws . As the specific location for this airstrip is far removed from the populated areas , it is expected that any adverse environmental consequences will be held to a bare minimum. Very tr ly yours , Ke neth F . Lind' KFL : sb Ar KENNETH F. LIND ATTORNEY AT LAW THE LAW BUILDING 1011 ELEVENTH AVENUE P.O.BOX 326 GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 TELEPHONE(303)353.2323 May 8, 1979 Weld County Department of Planning Services 915 10 Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re : Cornils Conditional Use Permit TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : The water needs of Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc . are very minimal . An oral agreement has been reached between Mr. Cornils for Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc . and the owner of the land upon which the airstrip will be located , for the use of water. The water will be furnished to Mr. Cornils by Mr. Raven whose source of supply is a domestic water line . As the water requirements are minimal , there is no water quantity problem, and in the event of any type of any interrupted water service , water will be delivered to the strip for use by a commercial water hauler. It is not believed that any type of road improvement will be required . The property is bordered by Weld County Road No. 90 on the north , and is not bordered by any other roads . As the only increased travel will be as a result of the operator of Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc. , no road improvements will be necessary. Very tru y yours , enneth F .

Wj LA Greeley, Colorado 80631 This letter is in answer to your request for soil and site information for the construction �of an air strip in the NE; of Section 26, Twp. 8N, Range 65W, Weld County, Colorado. r. There are four soil types found in that area: 1) Olney loamy sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes (49) , 2) Renohill loam, 0 to 5 percent slopes (57) , 3) Vona loamy sand, 3 to 9 percent slopes (75) , 4) Olney fine sandy loam, 6 to 9 percent slopes (53). Please refer to attached soils map and soil descriptions for complete information. The only interpretative data that might relate to air strip construction is information on street and road construction. Both Olney soils and Vona soils have a moderate':limitation for streets and roads as both exhibit a low strength characteristic which may cause holes and settling under load conditions. The Renohill soil has' a severe limitation for streets and roads due to low strength and a shrink swell potential which may cause heaving whenever wetted or cracks whenever dried. I do not know the precise area where the strip is to be located, therefore, I am not sure what soil type will be most affected. However, in light of the above information, it may be best to have a qualified soil engineer analyze the area to provide proper construction details to avoid later problems.

Close grown crops and I pasture can be irrigated with contour ditches and corrugations. Furrows, contour furrows and cross lope furrows will work on row crops. Sprinkler irrigation is also recommended . i Minimum tillage and crop residue utilization will help control erosion. i I Fertilitylmaintenance is important. Crops grown on these soils respond I. to fertilizer applications of phosphorous and nitrogen. In nonirrigated areas this soil is suited to winter wheat, barley and sor- ghum. Most of the area is devoted to winter wheat, with a predicted average acre yiell of 20 bushels. Crops are usually alternated P Li O a n J It . �, / (e ' ..J '•fi '`.`a with suuimer fallow to allow moisture accumulation. Normally, precipi- Lalid tation iS too low to make beneficial use of fertilizers . Good cultural practices such as stubble mulch farming, strip cropping and minimum tillage are needed to combat wind and water erosion. Ter- I racing may also be needed to control water erosion. The potential native vegetation on this site is dominated by sand blue- r stem, sand rcedgrass and blue -grama. Needle-and-thread , switchgrass , . sideoats' grama and western wheatgrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from 2200 pounds per acre in favorable years to 1800 pounds per acre in unfavorable years. When range condition deteriorates , sand bluestem, sand reedgrass and switchgrass decrease and blue grama, sand dropseed and sand sage increase. Annual weeds and grasses invade the site 'as range condition becomes poorer. Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking half and leaving half of the total annual production. Seeding is advisable if range is in poor condition. Sand bluestem, sand rcedgrass , switchgrass , sideoats grama, blue grama, pubescent wheatgrass and crested wheatgrass nre suitaible for seeding. The grass selected should meet the seasonal requirements of livestock. For successful seeding, a clean, firm, sorghum stubble -- prepared the growing season prior to seeding -- or a firm, prelparcd seedbed and grass drill should be used.

Rangeland wildlife , exemplified by the pronghorn antelope , can be assisted and encouraged by development of livestock watering facilities , proper livestock grazing management , and range reseeding where needed. This Olney soil has good potential for urban development. Its only limiting feature is the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum and the hazard of contamination of ground water from sewage lagoons.

Its only limiting feature is the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum and the hazard of con- tamination of ground water from sewage lagoons . Lawns , shrubs and trees for beautification will do well. Capability ubclass tile irrigated IVe non-irrigated Sandy plains range site O r. I 9 f, . . ., I Y { h SCS-CONS-1S NE3 Sec. i "—65 1. 5.
