Diana Aungst, Planning Services, presented Case USR17-0055, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Ms. Aungst noted that two letters were received regarding this request. One
letter was received from an oil and gas company adjacent to the site indicating that there will be traffic
congestion, lights and noise until all the wells are drilled. The second letter was in support of this request.
The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions
of approval and development standards.

Aungst stated that the applicant has been diligently working with Henrylyn Ditch Company and they will
install a fence to prevent animals and kids entering the ditch.
Evan Pinkham, Public Works, reported on the existing traffic and access to the site. Mr. Pinkham stated
that the applicant is proposing to build the site in phases; therefore, staff is reviewing a new study submitted

community garden, family rented RV park and 130 acres in active farmland. Mr. Frachetti noted that Mr.
LaCoe lives adjacent to the site.

Commissioner Stille asked outside of paving or mag chloride what can be done to mitigate dust. Mr. Keiser
said that if they are using the mud farm more than average then they will try to not use the soil area. If they
are using the soil area more than normal then they will try to take the mud to another location in the County.
He added that by doing that it would reduce truck traffic significantly. He said that they will notify the
community ahead of when they anticipate an increase in traffic and mag chloride the road. Commissioner
Cope suggested using a soil cement mixture and added that it provides a little better road deck that can
also be watered to keep dust down.
Discussion was held among the Planning Commissioners regarding paving. Commissioner Cope said that
he isn't comfortable in making that a criteria from this Board, but encouraged the County Commissioners
to take a look at it.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.

JOSE GONZALEZ
IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS,
CHAPTER 29 BUILDING REGULATIONS OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE
Jose Gonzalez, Building Department, presented Ordinance 2018-02, and stated that the proposed code
change is to adopt the 2017 National Electrical Code. Mr. Gonzalez stated that the reason they need to
adopt the 2017 Electrical Code is to follow State requirements. He added that every jurisdiction is required
to adopt within 12 months of the State adopting the Electrical Code, which was adopted July 1, 2017.
Motion: Forward Ordinance 2018-02 to the Board of County Commissioners along with Planning
Commission's recommendation of approval, Moved by Tom Cope, Seconded by Bruce Sparrow.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 7).
Yes: Bruce Johnson, Bruce Sparrow, Gene Stille, Lonnie Ford, Richard Beck, Terry Cross, Tom Cope.
Absent: Michael Wailes.
The Chair asked the public if there were other items of business that they would like to discuss. No one
wished to speak.
The Chair asked the Planning Commission members if there was any new business to discuss.
Commissioner Johnson said that we are making recommendations and conditions of approval but every
time a compliance issue comes up we cannot have staff recommend anything to them and the Planning
Commission cannot look at the site. He doesn't feel it is the neighbor's responsibility to police every one
of these approvals. Tom Parko, Planning Director, asked to clarify if he is referring to case that has been
in violation and been approved and then that staff would follow-up and ensure that the business stays in
compliance with its development standard. Mr. Johnson said that whenever it is in code violation he is
concerned that staff cannot have a recommendation. He added that after a permit has been approved and
brought into compliance there should be periodic visits to ensure it remains in compliance. Mr. Parko said
that it has been a long-standing policy that we are complaint -driven in Weld County. Staff are not able to
go out and find violations; however, they come to us through phone calls, letters, etc. and then staff will
perform a site visit and determine if a violation does exist. Depending on the magnitude of the violation,

PLANNER: CHRIS GATHMAN
REQUEST: A SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
PERMIT FOR AN OIL AND GAS SUPPORT AND SERVICE FACILITY
(STORAGE AND STOCKPILE AREA FOR SOIL, HAY BALES AND
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FOR OFFSITE WELL LOCATIONS AND
ASSOCIATED OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION FACILITIES) IN THE A
(AGRICULTURAL) ZONE DISTRICT.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SW4 SECTION 23, T2N, R67W OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD COUNTY,
COLORADO.
LOCATION: NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 18 AND EAST OF AND ADJACENT TO CR
21.
Chris Gathman, Planning Services, presented Case USR17-0046, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Staff noted that in addition to this proposed USR, there is also a Use by Right
Exploration and Production Waste Facility (mud farm) on the facility regulated by the COGCC. Multiple
phone calls, photos and emails have been received by Staff from two surrounding property owners. The
main concerns are related to amount of truck traffic, dust, noise and road impacts. The Department of
Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of approval and
development standards.
Evan Pinkham, Public Works, reported on the existing traffic and access to the site.
Hayley Balzano, Engineering, reported on the drainage conditions for the site.
Ben Frissell, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan.
Nathan Keiser, Anadarko Petroleum, 1099 18th Street, Denver, Colorado, stated that Anadarko has
purchased this property since 2011 for drilling operations, waste management and agricultural operations.
He said that traffic has increased because of the increase in the oil and gas industry.
Mr. Keiser said that they store dirt for construction of drill pads onsite. They also have multiple locations of
these types of facilities throughout the County to reduce road impacts. He added that the mud and soil
stockpile area are used intermittently and it depends on the proximity of oil and gas operations in the area.
Mr. Keiser noted that a community meeting was held last fall. He added that as a result of that meeting
they will send out notification of when they anticipate an increase in traffic and any other communications.
Commissioner Beck asked where primary traffic will come from. Mr. Keiser said that primary traffic will
come from County Road 21 and exit off of County Road 18. The reason for that is so that if there is a back-
up of traffic it will be onsite rather than on a county road.
Commissioner Ford referred to photos submitted by Mr. Neal, specifically where the trucks were stopped
and asked what caused this backup. Mike Dinkel, Environmental Scientist, Anadarko Petroleum, 1099 18th
Street, Denver, Colorado, stated that he believes there was a farm tractor broken down on the road that
caused the back-up.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Dennis Neal, 7691 CR 23, stated that the applicant has been operating over a year and he has been
contacting the County repeatedly for over a year. He emphasized concern regarding the dust and amount
of truck traffic. He suggested that the applicant pave the roadway on County Road 18 to prevent the dust.
He added that he was required pave his road as a condition of approval for his subdivision off of County
Road 40.5 and feels that it is fair that paving be required for this use as well.
Mr. Kesier said that he couldn't commit to paving the road today. He said that they have taken a lot of
feedback from the community meeting and have taken efforts to reduce trucks and kept in contact with a
lot of those same neighbors. He said that they have notified the community of when the public hearings
were scheduled; however no other neighbors are here today.

then we determine what course of action to take. He added that sometimes it is a matter of dealing with
the violation right away or giving them an opportunity to come into compliance.
Meeting adjourned at 5:48 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Kristine Ranslem
Secretary
