Unfortunately, the Town's response may not have transmitted and according to interested persons, there is no record of the Town's response. This USR request falls within the cooperative planning area already established with Weld County and the Town of Kersey. The Town's interest in this application stems from the immediate adjacency to incorporated and platted residential lots within the Town and the long-term ramifications for allowing a higher density dog kennel in the immediate area. According to neighbors, this is further compounded by the possibility the applicant is raising beagles which, by their very nature, are loud. Therefore, the Town is respectfully asking the applicant's application be denied based on the following: 1. The proximity of the applicant's lot to future residential property owners with the applied for use 2. The probable inability of the applicant to consistently keep seventeen or more dogs quiet. 3. The health and sanitation issues associated with a large number of animals located on a small residential lot. 4. The health and sanitation issues associated with the storage of multiple vehicles in various states of repair in close proximity to other residential lots.

Instructions fir Vi jqr. _Sonic P JJCJ sec plug into an unobstructed wall outlet where rodent activity is evident. FAcs About Victor®. Sonic Pe tCha ser How does the PestChaser® work? The PestChaser emits high frequency ultrasonic sound waves between 32 and 62 kHz to create an acoustically hostile environment that repels rodents from sound -protected rooms. It's kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and completely inaudible to people and non -rodent pets_ unlike traps and poisons, the PestChaser minimizes human contact with disease - bearing rodents (no dead rodents to dispose of) . Why can't I hear the PestChaser? Ultrasonic sound is a frequency too high to be heard by the human ear (your eardrum can't vibrate fast enough) . People can hear sounds ranging from 20 to 20,000 cycles per second, while dogs and cats can hear up to 27,000 cycles per second. The range of other animals can be even higher. When measured electronically, these frequencies are expressed in "hertz", defined as a unit equal to one cycle per second. Ultrasonic sound waves are frequencies over 20,000 hertz, or 20 kilohertz (kHz) . The PcstChaser is designed to continually and automatically sweep an ultrasonic frequency range between 32 and 62 kHz, well above the hearing range of humans and common pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish). Rodents and some other pests can clearly hear these frequencies. At high intensity the sound can Induce auditory stress. How does ultrasound affect rodents? Ultrasound can repel rodents by subjecting them to intense auditory stress. Very simply, ultrasound hurts their ears. In a nutshell, this is classic animal behavior modification technique. Unlike traps and poisons, ultrasound does not kill rodents_ The PestChaser has the ability to provide long-term reductions in rodent populations by creating a "rodent -unfriendly" environment that discourages rodent infestations. Will rodents get used to the PestChaser? No. The PestChaser uses a complex "swept" frequency with multiple "peaks" between 32 and 62 kHz. Intensity, complexity and changing frequencies prevent rodents from getting used to the sound. There are a number of ultrasonic repellents made which emit only a single continuous tone and/or turn the tone on and off at a regular interval. These units will fail to repel rodents for more than a short period of time, if at all. Can ultrasound be heard by my rodent family pets? � _ hsn�ut itr. Rnriernt pets i ncii ide mice; rats; hamsters, ouinea pros, rer'rets, and squirreis. Never inst&ii a PestChaser in rooms inhabited by rodent pets as the sound will cause your pet severe auditory stress. Does ultrasound go through walls? No. In fact, ultrasonic waves behave more like light than sound, For example, music from your stereo can fill your entire house and, if bud enough, can be heard through closed doors by your neighbors. Ultrasound cannot penetrate any solid surface (walls, floors, ceilings) or travel around corners. This is why you need a PestChaser for each room where you have a rodent problem. To visualize how ultrasound travels, imagine that the PestChaser speaker is a flood light. The sound will radiate outward in a cone shape, throwing "shadows„ behind solid objects and casting very little "light" into other rooms. The diagram illustrates how ultrasound "bounces" off hard surfaces to fill an average -sized room with ultrasonic sound waves. How much squaw, footage will each PestChaser cover'? It can vary, greatly depending on each individual room or space. Ultrasound is a directional sound wave. Its physical properties do not allow it to penetrate any solid surface. In addition, ultrasound is a fragile sound wave which dissipates (attenuates) rapidly with distance, and may have little effect on rodents more than 20 feet from the sound speaker. The rule regarding square footage coverage is simple: an ultrasonic device can only cover the room in which it is installed; in a 10' x 1B' room it covers 100 sq. ft., in a double car garage it covers 400 sq. ft. If the room is as large as 1000 square feet, adequate coverage can be delivered if there are not a lot of obstructions like furniture or stored products in the space. With obstructions, you will need to install more than one unit for maximum effectiveness. How much does the PestChaser cost to operate? The PestChaser costs less than 20 cents per month to operate on a 24 hour basis, Keep it plugged in at all times, The PestChaser draws only 2 watts. Assume an electricity rate of ,13 per KWH (which is a high -end estimate). 2 watts x 24 hrs. x 31 days = 1488 watts per month 1 1000 = 1.5 KWH x .13 = .195 it per month. When can I expect results? The field test studies that Sonic conducted for Canadian registration showed a marked reduction in rodent activity In 6 to 10 days on average. One should never expect instantaneous results. If I can't hear the PestChaser, how do I know it's working? When the PestChaser is plugged in, you will see a red LED light behind the speaker grill. This light tells you the PestChaser is working properly. Even though the Table Top model has two speakers, there is only one LED. You may also hear a very slight audible sound component if you are within 2 feet of the PestChaser. How long will the PestChaser last? The estimated service life of each unit is from 5 to 7 years. However, many PestChasers are still working after 18 or more years in service. No adjustment or service Is required. Does ultrasound affect insects? Some insect species can produce or perceive sound in ultrasonic frequencies and are affected by high - frequency sound. That is not to say that it can effectively repel them or control them. There has been little true scientific research to determine if ultrasonic sound generators could produce effective insect control results. You may find that some insects seem to respond to ultrasound while others are oblivious to it. Sonic makes no claims that the PestChaser can be used for Insect pest control. We believe that it is improper for any company to make specific insect claims unless backed by validated scientific studies. What about the se -called "electromagnetic" pest repellents that claim to repel pests behind walls? These direct plug-ln devices claim to somehow alter the electromagnetic output of common house wiring to turn your whole house into a giant pest repellent and drive all species of pests out of the walls of your home. In fact, there is scant credible scientific research to suggest that electromagnetic fields have any repellent effect whatsoever on any living creature, much less specific pest species (mice, insects, etc.) to the exclusion of other non -pest species (people, pets, etc.). Furthermore, the degree to which these devices actually alter the electromagnetic output of house wiring is questionable. No manufacturer specifies exactly what the devices do or how they do it. In 1980 the EPA and N.S. Postal Service took action to remove all "electromagnetic" (not ultrasonic) pest control devices from the market, Health Canada has banned the sale of electromagnetic pest repellents in Canada. And finally, there are serious questions as to the advisability of increasing one's exposure to electromagnetic energy. Can ultrasonic sound waves be effective In repelling bats from attics and other inside areas? Sonic Technology Products makes no specific claims regarding the effectiveness of the PestChaser in repelling bats because the way bats respond to high frequency sound can vary significantly depending upon the time of year. Between December and June, bats are roosting and hibernating. They will not leave their nest, even if you introduce high frequency sound. They give birth to their young in mid -February and will absolutely not abandon them, no matter how noxious the sound is to them. The only time high frequency sound produces a repellent effect is from July through the end of October, after their young have flown off and before they roost again for the winter. In our view, bats are extremely beneficial and their habitat should be protected. Bats are the single best controller of the insect kingdom. Bats may eat as many as 500 mosquito -size insects in an hour. An average size bat colony may eat 1/2 million inseam In one evening. Commercial PestChaser® PC600 Prig In Mouse xeperier Non -Toxic PestChasere Electronic Rodent Repellers are specifically designed to repel mice and rats. Mice and rats are the common indoor rodent pest problem encountered by consumers worldwide. Why P+estChascrse Work Best? Rats and mice pose serious health risks, but traps and poisons come with a heavy price. Poisons can endanger children and pets while inhumane traps require the handling of potentially diseaseebearing rodents. Neither poisons nor traps provide bong -term protection since more rodents will likely replace the ones you've killed. It can be an unending cycle. The PestChaser® Electronic Rodent Repeller puts the emphasis on non-toxic prevention, instead of after -the -fact toxic intervention, The PestChasete emits high frequency ultrasound waves between 32 and 62 kHz to create an acoustically hostile environment that repels rodents from sound -protected areas, over the long term. It's kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and inaudible to people and non -rodent pets. Please keep in mind that the physical properties of ultrasonic sound prevent ultrasonic sound waves from penetrating solid objects like walls and floors. Therefore, we strongly recommend the placement of a PestChaser® in each room where problems are evident. The extremely high output of the Commercial PestChaser® PC600 provides extra sound power muscle for particularly stubborn rodent infestations in warehouses, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, office buildings -- virtually all commercial facilities. The direct plug -lit design comes equipped with one-way security screws to reduce theft when installed in public places. Although the Commercial PestChaser® PC600 is more powerful than our standard consumer PestChasers®. Installation: Plug the unit into the lower outlet of a 11OVAC duplex receptacle which will leave the upper outlet available for use. When a secure installation is desired use the one way security screws provided to fasten the unit to the wall. The holes at the side of the case are placed so that the screws go beside the cover plate. Do not expect instant results; filed test studies show that it typically takes from 6 to 9 days to force rodents out of an infested area. It seems to take that amount of time for them to learn that the adverse change to their environment is not going to go away. When used as a preservative in a nun -rodent infested area, the effect is immediate in that, in most cases, new rodents will not enter an environment where intense ultrasound is present. Ultrasonic sound is highly directional and will bounce off of hard surfaces to fill an enclosed area with high intensity echoes, Hard surfaces are cement, brick, glass, tile, etc. -r �r • - PcstChaser On the other hand, ultrasound is absorbed and dampened by soft surfaces, such as hay bales, feed sacks, stacked linens, etc. Under ideal conditions, each PestChaser PC600 unit can deliver sound up to ],fl00 square feet of space. However, in individual applications, the amount of sound absorbing materials present, the humidity of the air and building construction will dramatically affect the amount of area that can be covered. Ultrasonic sound travels in a straight line much like FM waves or light. It will not penetrate solid objects but will throw a "shadow" behind them. These are the areas of silence where pests can find shelter from the ultrasound. These shadow areas can either be eliminated through the placement of additional units or can be used as a place to put traps. How Well I)o Dogs and Other Animals Hear? Reporting the frequency range for hearing in dogs and other species is not a straightforward task - the "how" of determining hearing frequency ranges must first be explained. Testing animals differs from the method commonly used with humans of voluntarily reporting if a sound is heard. When determining the frequency range in animals, an investigator usually must first train the animal to respond to a presented sound stimulus by selecting between two actions using rewards. Often this response is to try to drink or eat from one of two dispensers when a sound is heard. The sounds are randomly presented from one side or the other, and the subject must select the right dispenser (on the same side as the stimulus) to get the reward; otherwise no food or drink is dispensed. This is done with the animal hungry or thirsty to motivate responding. Stimuli are different pure tones at varied frequencies (units of Hertz [Hz] or kilohertz [kHz]) and at different loudness intensities (units of decibels [dB] - a logarithmic measure). The investigator then plots the responses on an audiogram, a graph of the softest intensity at which the subject was able to detect a specific. The plot of responses is a bowl -shaped curve, steeper on the high frequency end. A series of five typical audiograms for different dogs (Tanis canis) is shown in the figure below. M14-0 V) CD 50 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 —10 — 20 — 30 1-_L _ 10 100 1000 10000 100000 Frequency (Hz) (right click image to see it more clearly) These audiograms are from a book compiling thousands of published references into a single difficult to find source (Fay, 1988). This particular audiogram compiles data on the dog from two published sources: one reporting an average from 11 dogs of unspecified breeds (Lipman & Grassi, 1942) and one reporting results from single dogs of four breeds (Heffuer, 1983). Frequency is displayed on a logarithmic scale from 10 Hz to 100,000 Hz (100 kHz), while stimulus intensity is displayed (in dB sound pressure level) from -30 to 80 dB. Curve 1 was from the Lipman study, while curve 2 (Poodle), curve 3 (Dachshund), curve 4 (Saint Bernard) and curve (Chihuahua) were from the Heffner study. In general, dogs had slightly greater sound sensitivity (detected lower intensity sounds) than humans, and cats had greater sensitivity than dogs, indicated by how low on the y-axis points were located. It can be seen that the lowest intensity detected differs between the two studies; I place greater reliance on the Heffner study because it is more current and because he is a widely published and respected audiology researcher. It can also be seen that the greatest sensitivity (i.e. the frequencies that can be detected at the lowest intensities) is in the frequency range of 4-10 kHz. One dog (the Poodle) heard a tone at the low frequency of 40 Hz, but an intensity of 590 was required for it to be detected; most of the other dogs didn't respond until the stimulus frequency reached 62.5 Hz. Three dogs (the Poodle, Saint Bernard, and Chihuahua) heard a tone at the highest frequency of 46 kFlz, requiring intensities of 64.73 dB. On the other hand, the Poodle heard a 4 kHz tone when it was -A dB (since dB are logarithmic mic units based on a ratio of the stimulus intensity compared to a standard intensity, any stimulus smaller than the standard results in a ratio less than one, and the logarithm of a number smaller than one is a negative number; therefore a -4 dB stimulus intensity is a VERY soft one]) and an 8 kHz tone when it was •-3.5 dB. There was no systemic relation seen among the four breeds between high frequency hearing sensitivity and head size, body weight, or tympanic membrane area. From the figure ure it can be seen that choosing the frequencies for reporting the frequency range for dogs is hard - presumably lower frequencies could have been detected if a loud enough stimulus was used, and likewise for high frequencies. Nevertheless, the following table reports the approximate hearing range for different species with an attempt to apply the same cut-off criteria to all, using data from Fay (1988) and Warfield (1973). Since different experimental methods were used in these different studies, too much value should not be placed on comparing species.

(a) (1) In the case of cattle, horses, or other livestock acquired by the taxpayer after December 31, 1969, section 1231 applies to the sale, exchange, or involuntary conversion of such cattle, horses, or other livestock, regardless of age, held by the taxpayer for draft, breeding, dairy, or sporting purposes, and held by him: (1) For 24 months or more from the date of acquisition in the case of cattle or horses, or (ii) For 12 months or more from the date of acquisition in the case of such other livestock. (2) In the case of livestock (including cattle or horses) acquired by the taxpayer on or before December 31, 1969, section 1231 applies to thesale, exchange, or involuntary conversion of such livestock, regardless of age, held by the taxpayer for draft, breeding, or dairy purposes, and held by him for 12 months or more from the date of acquisition. (3) For the purposes of section 1231, the term livestock is given a broad, rather than a narrow, interpretation and includes cattle, hogs, horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, goats, fur -bearing animals, and other mammals. However, it does not include poultry, chickens, turkeys, pigeons, geese, other birds, fish, frogs, reptiles, etc. (b) (1) Whether or not livestock is held by the taxpayer for draft, breeding, dairy, or sporting purposes depends upon all of the facts and circumstances in each case. The purpose for which the animal is held is ordinarily shown by the taxpayer's actual use of the animal. However/ a draft, breeding, dairy, or sporting purpose may be present if an animal is disposed of within a reasonable time after its intended use for suchpurpose is prevented or made undesirable by reason of accident, disease, drought, unfitness of the animal for such purpose, or a similar factual circumstance. Under certain circumstances, an animal held for ultimate sale to customers in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business may be considered as held for draft, breeding, dairy, or sporting purposes. However, an animal is not held by the taxpayer for draft, breeding, dairy, or sporting purposes merely because it is suitable for such purposes or merely because it is held by the taxpayer for sale to otherpersons for use by them for such purposes. Furthermore, an animal held by the taxpayer for other purposes is not considered as held for draft, breeding, dairy, or sporting purposes merely because of a negligible use of the animal for such purposes or merely because of the use of the animal For such purposes as an ordinary or necessary incident to the other purposes for which the animal is held. see paragraph (c) of this section for the rules to be used in determining when horses are held for racing purposes and, therefore, are considered as held for Sportrflgpurposes. (2) The application of this paragraph is illustrated by the following examples: EXAMPLE 1 An animal intended by the taxpayer for use by him for breeding purposes is discovered to be sterile or unfit for the breeding purposes for which it was held, and is disposed of within a reasonable time thereafter, This animal is considered as held for breeding purposes. EXAMPLE 2. The taxpayer retires from the breeding or dairy business and sells his entire herd, including young animals which would have been used by him for breeding or dairy purposes if he had remained in business. These young animals are considered as held for breeding or dairy purposes. The same would be true with respect to young animals which would have been used by the taxpayer for breeding or dairy purposes but which are sold by him in reduction of his breeding or dairy herd, because of, for example, drought' EXAMPLE 3. A taxpayer in the business of raising hogs for slaughter customarily breeds sows to obtain a single litter to be raised by him for sale, and sells these brood sows after obtaining the litter. Even though these brood sows are held for ultimate sale to customers in the ordinary course of the taxpayer's trade or business, they are considered as held for breeding purposes. EXAMPLE 4. A taxpayer in the business of raising horses for sale to others for use by them as draft horses uses them for draft purposes on his own farm in order to train them. This use is an ordinary or necessary incident to the purpose of selling the animals, and, accordingly, these horses are not considered as held for draft purposes. EXAMPLE 5. The taxpayer is in the business of raising registered cattle for sale to others for use by them as breeding cattle. It is the business practice of this particular taxpayer to breed the offspring of his herd which he is holding for sale to others prior to sale in order to establish their fitness for sale as registered breeding cattle. In such case, the taxpayer's breeding of such offspring is an ordinary and necessary incident to his holding them for the purpose of selling them as bred heifers or proven bulls and does not demonstrate that the taxpayer is holding them for breeding purposes. However, those cattle held by the taxpayer as additions or replacements to his own breeding herd to produce calves are considered to be held for breeding purposes, even though they may not actually have produced calves. EXAMPLE 6. A taxpayer, engaged in the business of buying cattle and fattening them for slaughter, purchased cows with calf. The calves were born while the cows were held by the taxpayer. These cows are not considered as held for breeding purposes. (c) (1) For purposes of paragraph (b) of this section, a horse held for racing purposes shall be considered as held for sporting purposes. Whether a horse is held for racing purposes shall be determined in accordance with the following rules: (i) A horse which has actually been raced at a public race track shall, except in rare and unusual circumstances, be considered as held for racing purposes. (ii) A horse which has not been raced at a public track shall be considered as held for racing purposes if it has been trained to race and otherfacts and circumstances in the particular case also indicate that the horse was held for this purpose. For example, assume that the taxpayermainta ins a written training record on all horses he keeps in training status, which shows that a particular horse does not meet objective standards (including, but not limited to, such considerations as failure to achieve predetermined standards of performance during training, or the existence of a physical or other defect) established by the taxpayer for determining the fitness and quality of horses to be retained in his racing stable. Under such circumstances, if the taxpayer disposes of the horse within a reasonable time after he determined that it did not meet his objective standards for retention, the horse shall be considered as held for racing purposes. (iii) A horse which has neither been raced at a public track nor trained for racing shall not, except in rare and unusual circumstances, be considered as held for racing purposes. (2) This paragraph may be illustrated by the following examples: EXAMPLE 1 The taxpayer breeds, raises, and trains horses for the purpose of racing. Every year he culls some horses from his racing stable. In 1971, the taxpayer decided that in order to prevent his racing stable from getting too large to be effectively operated he must cull six horses from it. All six of the horses culled by the taxpayer had been raced at public tracks in 1970. Under subparagraph (1)(i) of this paragraph, all these horses are considered as held for racing purposes. EXAMPLE 2. Assume the same facts as in example (1). Assume further that the taxpayer decided to cull four more horses from his racing stable in 1971. All these horses had been trained to race but had not been raced at public tracks. The taxpayer culled these four horses because the training log which the taxpayer maintains on all the horses he trains showed these horses to be unfit to remain in his racing stable. Horse A was culled because it developed shin splints during training. Horses B and C were culled because of poor temperament. B bolted every time a rider tried to mount it, and C became extremely nervous when it was placed in the starting gate. Horse D was culled because it did not qualify for retention under one of the objective standards the taxpayer had established for determining which horses to retain since it was unable to run a specified distance in a minimum time. These four horses were disposed of within a reasonable time after the taxpayer determined that they were unfit to remain in his stable. Under subparagraph (1)(ii) of this paragraph, all these horses are considered as held for racing purposes. @rD • STATE OF COLORADO COUNTY OF LARidlyiER ) Ss.

Plaintiff maintains that Defendants are operating a commercial dog kennel business on their land, violative of the easement for ingress and egress for residential purposes, and for farming, ranching and agricultural purposes. P intiff is concerned about increased traffic and safety hazards on the easement generated by what Itices as the kennel business. He seeks declaratory and injunctive relief. Defendants deny that their use of the easement violates the express terms of same, and assert, as we t r f that if such use is beyond the express language of the easement they have a prescriptive right through adverse use for this purpose for more than 18 years. They too seek declaratory r<e rief. They deny that they have a commercial kennel, and describe it as a private breeding kennel, unchanged in nature since 1977. Defendants assert that the private breeding kennel is in fact an agricultural use. Exhibit 2 outlines the respective parcels of land owned by the parties, about 40 acres for Plaintiff and approximately 5 4o r Defendants. The thirty foot easement is set out in Exhibit 1, executed in April 1977. The assertion of Plaintiff that the use of the kennel has changed in nature, scope, or extent is not proved by the evidence. The evidence .s.ipports the os n ition of Defendants ats that what they have is a private breeding kennel, duly licensed d and approved by the a relevant local authorities. It is not open to the general public. It is not a commecial or boarding kennel, nor is it a pet shop or a retail business of any sort. Dogs are sold people come to the kennel at times, but by prior appointment only. The Coun finds and concludes that, for two reasons, either of which is sufficient, the issues should be resolved in favor of the Defendants. First of all, wi th reference to the language of the easement, the private breeding kennel is in fact an agricultural use and thus express ly a Rov ed by the terms of the easement. CRS. 35 - 1 - 102 defines "agriculture"' btu re"' as the science and art of production of ... animab b useful to man. Dogs are useful to man; were they not there would be no demand to breed or buy them. The same statute defines "livestock" as various listed species, and "a l I other animals raised or kept for profit". The dogs of Defendants are animals raised for profit The statute cited by Plaintiff P la ��t�ft as supporting a contrary argument, C.R 5. 35 -4 - 1O3, deals with animal protection and has a limited and specific scope and purpose. While a dog be livestock may not for purposes of application of the laws dealing with mistreated and neglected animals, the raising of dogs for profit still is agricultural per C,RS. 35 - 1 -- 102. Even if this were not so,'Defendants have established their right to use the easement for this purpose, as a prescriptive right due to adverse, continuous, open, notorious we under claim of right for more than 18 yearn. See +tS . 3 - 41 - 101_ The kennel has been in use, according to the evidence, since at least December 1 1977. This action was filed ire September 2002. There vas a previous suit, raising these issues, but it was dismissed in March 21 and the instant suit not filed for a year and a half thereafter. The total adverse use time is 18 years and 5 months. This supports Defendants' claim of a prescriptive right, h wever, this is in the Court's view hypothetical only since the Court also finds that the use in question is one that comes within the express terms of the easement. Accordingly the claim of Defendants for declaratory relief consistent with the above should be granted, and the claim of Plaintiff for injunctive and declaratory relief should den led _ The Court has not addressed other issues raised in the evidence and argument, as the above analysis, in the Court's view, is dispositive. Each party should bear their own attorney fees, Defendants should have their cis. udg me nt s hou ld be entered accordingly. S0 OR CE RE a Dated this day of February, 2004. BY Mt COURT: ,'R JAMES H.

The difference in decibels between two sound pressure levels is twenty times the common logarithm of their ratio. In sound pressure measUrements sound levels are defined as twenty times the common logarithm of the ratio of that sound pressure level to a reference level of 2 x 10--5 Nina (Newton's/meter squared). As an example of the effect of the formula, a Lh.rec-decibel change is a one hundred percent increase or decrease in the sound level, and a ten -decibel change is a one thousand percent increase or decrease in the sound level.

Ultrasound is simply high frequency sounds waves above the range that we can hear. It is applied to the body from the 'heat of an ultrasound machine. A l gel is used to help the waves travel into the body rather than be reflected oft the skin. What are the benefits of ultrasound? a increased blood supply which promotes healing, 0 produces a pain killing effect which can reduce muscle spasm, and promote normal tuntion, a softens fibrous tissues and scar tissue which are formed during healing. How is it used? a The therapist will apply a little gel to the skin and place the head of the ultrasound machine on the skin. Usually it will be moved in small circles. Treatment time can vary according to the injury but is usually about a few minutes. Ultrasound c al n be applied in two modes, pulse and continuous. With continuous the beam ed ultrasound waves is well, continuous. This means that heat will be transferred to the body tissues_ Pulsed means the waves go in short pulses which prevents the tissues heating.

Pests are repelled because they cannot adapt to l eitech's constantly chang- ing array of ultrasonic "noise." Yet, they are never injured or killed. It is the combination of powerfully arnpli- Iied ultrasonic signals which are constantly modulated over a broad frequency range that defines the Welted? dj,eaence. Weitedes ultrasonic technology is a humane way to drive household pests away from homes, garages, attics, erawlspaees and basements. Weitech has created a new generation of pest control products more effective than any previously available. Weitech products effectively repel moths, spiders, crickets, mice, rats and bats.

An. example would he a rest in your wall, signified by a "scratching. sound coning through the wall at various times especially at night. Use the Transonic unit continuously for at least 10 days to two weeks, moving it every few days so that the sounds hit the "target area" from a different direction_ Keep the unit running continuously to insure that the rodents won't return. 1 ■ The suggested use above should also be jpl.lowed for re g squirr is from an t.ie, mice f o a base- ment areacons from uzrdee a. leek or h area-QLfl s m laet dons or cats. The Transonic loo, 200, 300 and MR -50 units can be used in any indoor location. Transonic Yard Protector is de- signed to be used outdoors in all types of weather. Many insects have some type opearing mechanism —but not ail do. 7 herefore, ore, it is important Transonicrta t to remember that while units emit ultrasonic, transonic and sonic nawhes that drive most pests to distraction, the units simply do not work if an animal does not hear or sense ag sounds. NOTE: Transonic 100.200, 300 and MR -SO units are nal harmful to humans. eats. dogs and farm animals. but they will be uncomfortable to pet hamsters. guinea pigs, gerbils and ferrets. The Transonic Yard Protector should not be used around your own dog or cat as the sounds will be very uncomfortable to then, P HOW INSECTS AND ANIMALS AL HEAR OR SENSE SOUNDS Rodents have well developed auditory systems much like humans: bats have even more complex and sensitive hearing systems. Crickets, grasshoppers and cicadas have tympanic organs in openings on their forelegs which "hear" high frequency sounds, Moths have tiny ears on their thorax which detect the high frequency emissions that bats use to find and capture in sects . Many insects like wasps, spiders, beetles and bees have "chordontonal" or tympanic membranes that sense ultrasonic vibrations. While fleas and ticks do not appear to have any hearing apparatus; ultrasonic vibrations apparently put pressure on their nervous systems, causing discomfort, stress and immobility. Dogs, coyotes and wolves have long been known to have excellent high frequency. hearing. as do all members of the cat family. Many other wild 7 animals have developed excellent hearing senses as part of their survival instincts.

FAO, About Victor r Sonic PestChaser How does the PestChaser® work? The PestChaser emits high frequency ultrasonic sound waves between 32 and 62 kHz to create an acoustically hostile environment that repels rodents from sound -protected rooms. It's kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and completely inaudible to people and non -rodent pets. Unlike traps and poisons, the PestChaser minimizes human contact with disease - bearing rodents (no dead rodents to dispose of). jelP rtatta.-* rat*Mert zags Why can't I hear the PestChaser? Ultrasonic sound is a frequency too high to be heard by the human ear (your eardrum can't vibrate fast enough). People can hear sounds ranging Ultrallt _ . from 20 to 20,000 cycles per second, while dogs and cats can hear up to 27,000 cycles per second. The range of other animals can be even higher. When measured electronically, these frequencies are expressed in "hertz", defined as a unit equal to one cycle per second. Ultrasonic sound waves are frequencies over 20.000 hertz, or 20 kilohertz (kHz). The PestChaser is designed to continually and automatically sweep an ultrasonic frequency range between 32 and 62 kHz, well above the hearing range of humans and common pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish). Rodents and some other pests can clearly hear these frequencies. At high intensity the sound can induce auditory stress. How does ultrasound affect rodents? Ultrasound can repel rodents by subjecting them to intense auditory stress. Very simply, ultrasound hurts their ears. In a nutshell, this is classic animal behavior modification technique. Unlike traps and poisons, ultrasound does not kill rodents. The PestChaser has the ability to provide long-term reductions in rodent populations by creating a "rodent -unfriendly" environment that discourages rodent infestations. Will rodents gat used to the PestChaser? No. The PestChaser uses a complex "swept" frequency with multiple "peaks" between 32 and 62 kHz. Intensity, complexity and changing frequencies prevent rodents from getting used to the sound. There are a number of ultrasonic repellents made which emit only a single continuous tone and/or turn the tone on and off at a regular interval. These units will fail to repel rodents for more than a short period of time, if at all. Can ultrasound be heard by my rodent family pets? Yes, absolutely. Rodent pets include mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, and squirrels. Never install a PestChaser in rooms inhabited by rodent pets as the sound will cause your pet severe auditory stress. Does ultrasound go through walls? No. In fact, ultrasonic waves behave more like light than sound. For example, music from your stereo can fill your entire house and, if loud enough, can be heard through closed doors by your neighbors. Ultrasound cannot penetrate any solid surface (walls, floors, ceilings) or travel around corners. This is why you need a PestChaser for each room where you have a rodent problem. To visualize how ultrasound travels, imagine that the PestChaser speaker is a flood light. The sound will radiate outward in a cone shape, throwing „shadows" behind solid objects and casting vpry little "light" into other rooms= The diagram illustrAtes how 1ltr r and "bounces" off hard surfaces to fill an average -sized room with ultrasonic sound waves. How much square footage will each PestChaser cover? It can vary greatly depending on each individual room or space. Ultrasound is a directional sound wave. Its physical properties do not allow it to penetrate any solid surface_ In addition, ultrasound is a fragile sound wave which dissipates (attenuates) rapidly with distance, and may have little effect on rodents more than 20 feet from the sound speaker_ The rule regarding square footage coverage is simple: an ultrasonic device can only cover the room in which it is installed; in a 10' x 10' room it covers 100 j sQ b ft,, in a double car garage it covers 400 sq. ft. If the room is as large as 1000 s.q ua feet, adequate coverage can be delivered if there are not a lot of obstructions like furniture or stored products in the space. With obstructions, you will need to install more than one unit for maximum effectiveness. How much does the PestChaser cost to operate? The PestChaser costs less than 20 cents per month to operate on a 24 hour basis. Keep it plugged in at all times. The PestChaser draws only 2 watts. Assume an electricity rate of .13 per KWH (which is a high -end estimate). 2 watts x 24 hrs. x 31 days = 1488 watts per month / 1000 = 1.5 KWH x .13 _ .195 it per month. When can I expect results? The field test studies that Sonic conducted for Canadian registration showed a marked reduction in rodent activity in 6 to 10 days on average. One should never expect instantaneous results. If I can't hear the PestChaser, how do I know it's working? When the PestChaser is plugged in, you will see a red LED light behind the speaker grill. This light tells you the PestChaser is working properly. Even though the Table Top model has two speakers, there is only one LED_ You may also hear a very slight audible sound component if you are within 2 feet of the PestChaser. How long will the PestChaser last? The estimated service life of each unit is from 5 to 7 years. However, many PestChasers are still working after 10 or more years in service. No adjustment or service is required. Does ultrasound affect insects? Some insect species can produce or perceive sound in ultrasonic frequencies and are affected by high - frequency sound. That is not to say that it can effectively repel them or control them. There has been little true scientific research to determine if ultrasonic sound generators could produce effective insect control results. You may find that some insects seem to respond to ultrasound while others are oblivious to it. Sonic makes no claims that the PestChaser can be used for insect pest control. We believe that it is improper for any company to make specific insect claims unless backed by validated scientific studies. What about the so-called "electromagnetic" pest repellents that claim to repel pests behind walls? These dire€.t plug-in devices claim to somehow alter the electromagnetic output of common house wiring to turn your whole house into a giant pest repellent and drive a l l species of pests out of the walls of your home, In fact, there is scant credible scientific research to suggest that electromagnetic fields have any repellent effect whatsoever on any living creature, much less specific pest species (mice, insects, etc.) to the exclusion of other non -pest species (people, pets, etc). Furthermore, the degree to which these devices actually alter the electromagnetic output of house wiring is questionable. No manufacturer specifies exactly what the devices do or how they do it. In 1980 the EPA and U.S. Postal Service took action to remove all "electromagnetic" (not ultrasonic) pest control devices from the market. Health Canada has banned the sale of electromagnetic pest repellents in Canada. And finally, there are serious questions as to the advisability of increasing one's exposure to electromagnetic energy. Can ultrasonic sound waves be effective in repelling bats from attics and other inside areas? Sonic Technology Products makes no specific claims regarding the effectiveness of the PestChaser in repelling bats because the way bats respond to high frequency sound can vary significantly depending upon the time of year. Between December and June, bats are roosting and hibernating. They will not leave their nest, even if you introduce high frequency sound. They give birth to their young in mid -February and will absolutely not abandon them, no matter how noxious the sound is to them. The only time high frequency sound produces a repellent effect is from July through the end of October, after their young have flown off and before they roost again for the winter. In our view, bats are extremely beneficial and their habitat should be protected. Bats are the single best controller of the insect kingdom. Bats may eat as many as 600 mosquito -size insects in an hour. An average size bat colony may eat 1/2 million insects in one evening.

Mice and rats are the common indoor rodent pest problem encountered by consumers worldwide. Why PestChasers® Work Best? Rats and mice pose serious health risks, but traps and poisons come with a heavy price. Poisons can endanger children and pets while inhumane imps require the handling of potentially disease -bearing rodents. Neither poisons nor traps provide long-term protection since more rodents will likely replace the ones you've killed. It can be an unending cycle. The PestChaser* Electronic Rodent Repeller puts the emphasis on non-toxic prevention, instead of after -the -fact toxic intervention. The PestChaser® emits high frequency ultrasound waves between 32 and 62 kHz to create an acoustically hostile environment that repels rodents from sound -protected areas, over the long term. Ifs kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and inaudible to people and non -rodent pits. Please keep in mind that the physical properties of ultrasonic sound prevent ultrasonic sound waves from penetrating solid objects like walls and floors, Therefore, we strongly recommend the placement of a PestChaser® in each room where problems are evident. The extremely high output of the Commercial Pcst+Chasere PC600 provides extra sound power muscle For particularly stubborn rodent infestations in warehouses, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, office buildings -- virtually all commercial facilities. The direct plug-in design comes equipped with one-way security screws to reduce theft when installed in public places. Although the Commercial PestChaser® PC600 is more powerful than our standard consumer PestChasers®. Installation: Plug the unit into the lower outlet of a 11 VAC duplex receptacle which will leave the upper outlet available for use. When a secure installation is desired use the one way security screws provided to fasten the unit to the wall. The holes at the side of the case are placed so that the screws go beside the cover plate. Do not expect instant results; filed test studies show that it typically takes from 6 to 9 days to force rodents out of an infested area. It seems to take that amount of time for them to learn that the adverse change to their environment is not going to go away. When used as a preservative in anon-rodent infested area, the effect is immediate in that, in most cases, new rodents will not enter an environment where intense ultrasound is present. Ultrasonic sound is highly directional and will bounce off of hard surfaces to fill an enclosed area with high intensity echoes, Hard surfaces are cement, brick, glass, tile, etc. On the other hand, ultrasound is absorbed and dampened by soft surfaces, such as hay bales, feed sacks, stacked linens, etc. Under ideal conditions, each PestChaser PC600 unit can deliver sound up to 1,000 square feet of space. However, in individual applications, the amount of sound absorbing materials present, the humidity of the air and building construction will dramatically affect the amount of area that can be covered. Ultrasonic sound travels in a straight line much like FM waves or light. It will not penetrate solid objects but will throw a "shadow" behind them. These are the areas of silence where pests can find shelter from the ultrasound. These shadow areas can either be eliminated through the placement of additional units or can be used as a place to put traps.

Reducing animal stress dimirig handling improves ves productivity and performance, while improving handlers safety and animal welfare. introductim Cattle, horses, sheep and pigs common livestock species in Colorado. Llamas and ostrich- es are one of the few exotic livestock species. Accidents caused by livestock every year account for a s i;ttean t number of the deaths and injuries to people. These deaths and injuries are related to recreation and work Over the last 10 years, Colorado reported ed 19 deaths due to horses. four due to cattle and one due to sheep. These deaths erred to experienced and unexperienced han- dlers. Intact males of any species pose the greatest threat and the second most dangerous are females with young offspring. For every death there are approximately 100 to 400 disabling injuries reported. Disabling injuries. as defined by the National Safety Council, are those that result in lost time (one day or more) from work or a trip to the hospital. Understanding livestock behavior will ease handling. reduce animal stress and improve han- dler safety and animal welfare, All livestock are herd animals and have several things in common. Avoid isolation of individual animals, except with special hridling facilities. Livestock have +de- fie vision. Cattle and pigs have a visual field in excess of 300 degrees (see Figure 1) and sheep have a field of vision that ranges from 191 to 32O degrees and is dependent on the amount ofwool on their head. tIniversity Cooperative Dctension Y.'

Avoid loud or novel noises- they distress livestock and can result in bng and agitation. Any quick movements by the handler can cause the animal to shy away from the handler. There are genetic differences among the differ- ent livestock breeds. Study these differences before selecting a specific breed. Contact your Colorado State University Cooperative Extension county office or the breed association for information. ormation. Flight Zone Another point to consider when working live- stock is the flight zone (see Figure 2). The flight zone is the animals "personal space" Movement into an animal`s flight zone causes the animal to move away. Understanding the flight zone can reduce animal stress and help prevent accidents to handlers. Plight zone size depends on the tame- ness or wildness of the livestock With frequent handling, the flight zone decreases in size. An ani- mal that is approached head-on has a larger flight zone than if it was approached from the side. The edge of the Flight zone can be determined Icpy slowly walking up to the animals_ At the point where the animals begin to move away is the edge of the flight zone, Tame animals may not have a flight zone and should be lead by halter or feed bucket Never tie or wrap a lead rope or halter to the body of a handler, no matter what species of livestock you work with. If a handler enters the flight zone too deeply, the animal will either bolt and run away or turn back and run past the person. The best place for a handler to work is on the edge of the flight zone. There is a point -of -balance for moving animals back or forward. The point -of - balance is at the shoulder, perpendicular to the length of the body. Stand in front of the point -of - balance to back up an, animal and to the rear of the point -of -Mace to move the animal forward. If the handler makes the mistake of invading too deeply into the flight zone when driving livestock down an alley or into a crowded pen, the handler stands the risk of being run over by the livestock as the bolt back and run by or over the handler. if the handler becomes upset, pause. step away from the task now and calm down, Many people are injured or Med from becoming too excited while handling annals. This canresult in agitating the livestock to the point where they may react =predictably. 404 ettir Edge of flight zone r; • stir Blind spot j s acid gray Homer position to stop movcmcnt Hanclier position to start Point of balance rigure 2: The circle represents the edge of the flight zone; Positions A and B are the most efficient positions for controlling the movement of e -- stock. Facilities Livestock handling chutes should curve and have solid sides that reach at least three -fourths to the top rail. Solid sides (on the chute, crowd pen and crowd gate) prevent the livestock from d st c - boas that may frighten them. Curved, single -file chutes arc the most efficient design to handle laves stock because: 1) they prevent the animals from seeing what is at the other end of the chute, and 2) they take advantage of the natural tendency to cite etc a handler moving along the inner radius. Squeeze chute levers that are especially long can hit an operator under the chin and easily result in a broken neck. If there is a chute like this on your operation, keep the latch in good working order. Replace the latch with a new one, if it is worn out- Do not try to repair or fix the latch with a welder$ Horses Most of the deaths that relate to working with horses are either from being thrown or falling off a horse, which results in a head injury. Safety studies show that wearing a safety helmet with a secured chin harness can prevent life -threatening situations_ If the handler is not experienced with horses, seek instruction from SOrIICarle experienced. Choose a saddle that fits the rider and the horse. Wear shoes or boots with heels. Heels prevent the root from pass'ing through the shit up, which can result in the rider being drug by the horse, Most Importantly, wear a safety helmet Horses use their feet and teeth for weapons. They can kick directly to the rear or strike with the front feet. Some horses can bite. if working at the rear of the horse, either keep in close con- tact or at least far enough away that the handler DANGER ZONE d Figure 3: The shaded was indicate the safe areas for showing a horse tram either side.

If handlers stays close to the horse, they will be pushed but not wed. Keep a hand onthe horse while walk- ing around the back to let the horse know where you are. At the front, the horse can strike with its front hooves at a distance equal to the length of its leg. When working around a horse, try to stay in the safety zone (see Figure 3). A horse often uses its head to swat at annoyances. Handlers are seri- ously injured when a horse's head contacts their own. working with an unbroken horse, find some- one who is skilled and competent in breaking such horses to ride. Do not iry to break a horse if you are %inexperienced. Cattle Cattle can kick to the side and to the rear. Many breeds of cattle have horns that should be removed at branding. Use caution when separating calves from the dam there are genetic differ- ences among cattle breeds. For example* Brahman are gentle if handled quietly. With rough handling), they are more exLftahle and harder to handle than English or European breeds. Brahman cattle bunch together tighter during handling than European breeds. Brahman. are more difficult to block at fences, unless the fences are visually more substantial (1. e., constructing the fences with planks or a wide belly rail). Brahman cattle seldom run into a fence that appears to be solid. if Brahman cattle become too fly excited they may lay down and become immobile when repeat- edly prodded with an electric prod. They may even die if subjected continuous to an electric prod. English or European breeds seldom get immobile. If you avoid using the electric cattle prod, it will make moving and working cue easier. A flag tied to the end of a stick or a brightly- colored paddle on the end of a rod works well. These two types of sorting sticks use the principle of the flight zone to move cattle, calmly and quietly. Dairy bulls have a reputation for being danger- ous. As calves, they are bottle-fed by hand and tier. int themselves as people. When they get older they try to exert dal [ u Hulce over people, not cattle. Their size results in either serious or fatal injuries to the handler. This problem can be minimized by rearing bull calves in groups. However, hand - reared steers and heifers do not becomeaggres- sive. The biggest workmen's compensation claim from ranchers is for women who strain their backs by roping caves. and dragging deem to the brand - trig area. With a properly designed working chutes and a calve table, workmen's compensation claims n reduce si i i llcan . Pigs Different breeds of swine can move at different rates or behave differently. Some hybrid pigs have extreme shelter -sew behavior and can be diffi- cult to drive. Pigs are very sensitive to electric shock and handlers should never use electric prods on them. Pigs become calmer if they are given play toys (i.e., hanging a rubber hose from the ceiling) and are petted on a regular basis. With this type of treatment, a confrontation with a stranger or walking through a naaow chute is much less traumatic. In an effort to handle pigs easier, the handler may exert dominance over young boars. To do this, use a pig board and press it against their necks. This sirnu lutes the pushes given by a dominant pig. If the most dominant pig is herded fast, the other pigs will identify its scent on the board and the handles, become more submissive and more likely to move the way tlic handler wants. flitting or slapping pigs has litdc effect on their behavior. Exerting dominance has to be done using the ani- mal's natural method of communication. Sheep If a handler ]mows a breed, it helps to work the sheepRambouillet sheep tend to flock tightly together and remain in a group. Suffolks, on the other hand. will scatter. Rams can be aggressive du mating season, Children are especially sus- ceptible to injury at this time, therefore restrict their access to breeding stock Transport ation To reduce trbansportation sty: provide good footing (sand or bedding on the Inner floor), avoid rough roads, travel early in the morning or later at night on hot days to reduce heat stress, provide a blanket (horse) or side; bps if excessively cold or ventilation if hot, and avoid heavy to when possible. Make sure the trailer is in good working condi- tion and good repair (check breaks, lights and turn signals). Make sure the trailer has adequate sus- pension, stabilizer bars, and use good driving techniques (slow starts and stops, easy corners). Train horses condition to load, ride and unload well in advance of the trip. Transport animals with a familiar companion to reduce stmcis.

Pr IL hP; _June 19, 2018 Weld County Department of Planning Services Ref: USR 18-0009 Hello, We are the owners of the portion of the Berryman Farm PUD adjacent to the property under consideration for this USR. Our property is within a platted subdivision within the Town of Kersey and slated for construction of single-family homes. Our lots are directly north of the USR property and the intended use is ✓ isible from the residential lots on the west half of our property. We have followed activity on this property since the previous application for a Use by Special Review in 2003. This applicant has been operating out of compliance since then. Therefore, as the applicant has not demonstrated compliance, why is there a basis for approval? Kersey is a small community and everyone tries to get along. However, considering that, the application in 2003 was denied and the site is currently out of compliance, we feel this application should be denied also. Most concerning to us is the outdoor storage of multiple vehicles that are parked in the weeds on the property that are visible from our property. There is a requirement in the current USR to provide proper screening from the east, west and north. There is no existing screening to the north and the USR application is not compatible with the existing neighborhood or future residential development in Berryman Farm. We can hear the noise from the beagles, especially at night now that it is summer and people are out in their yards. With Ms. Windyka's request to increase the n umber of beagles, the noise will only get worse. We feel this is also incompatible with existing and future homes in the neighborhood. We are concerned with the health, and safety of the animals. The immediate n eighbors testified at the first hearing two weeks ago concerning this matter. Based on our understanding of the application under consideration, we are asking the Board of County Commissioners to deny this application for a Use by Special Review.. This expanded use is not compatible with the neighborhood and will affect the value of our plated lots and the quality of life of existing and future residents in Berryman Farm. Please include this letter in packets for the Board of County Commissioners for the hearing on 6/20/18.

Unfortunately, the Town's response may not have transmitted and according to interested persons, there is no record of the Town's response. This USR request falls within the cooperative planning area already established with Weld County and the Town of Kersey. The Town's interest in this application stems from the immediate adjacency to incorporated and platted residential lots within the Town and the long-term ramifications for allowing a higher density dog kennel in the immediate area. According to neighbors, this is further compounded by the possibility the applicant is raising beagles which, by their very nature, are loud. Therefore, the Town is respectfully asking the applicant's application be denied based on the following: 1. The proximity of the applicant's lot to future residential property owners with the applied for use. 2. The probable inability of the applicant to consistently keep seventeen or more dogs quiet. 3. The health and sanitation issues associated with a large number of animals located on a small residential lot. 4. The health and sanitation issues associated with the storage of multiple vehicles in various states of repair in close proximity to other residential lots.
