30. 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.
31. 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.
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.

Chris Gathman, Planning Services, presented Case 1MJUSR17-05-1470, reading the recommendation
and comments into the record. One (1) letter from a surrounding property owner and one (1) telephone call
were received expressing concerns with traffic, trash blowing on the property and increased traffic from the
business. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached
conditions of approval and development standards.
Mr. Gathman noted that some development standards were inadvertently left off of the staff report and
requested that they be added. Mr. Gathman also noted that there is a structure along the property
boundary which does not have building permits. It appears that this building is closer than the required
three-foot setback; therefore the applicants will need to obtain a variance from the Board of Adjustment or
remove the building.
Commissioner Jemiola asked if the applicant is the same owner when the original USR-1470 was approved.
Mr. Gathman replied yes.
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.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on -site
dust control, and the Waste Handling Plan. Ms. Light requested that the development standards they
included in their referral be added.
Jose and Natalia Martinez, 15002 Singletree Drive, Mead, Colorado, requested to use the property to store
their equipment for landscaping.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
No one wished to speak.
The Chair asked Staff for their requested additions to the Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards. Mr. Gathman requested adding Condition of Approval 1.E.8 which shall read "The map shall
delineate the landscaping and/or screening. The site shall be screened by an opaque fence or by a
combination of an opaque fence and landscaping".
Additionally, Mr. Gathman requested that the following Development Standards be included for Public
Health and Environment "Any vehicle or equipment washing areas shall capture all effluent and prevent
discharges in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Water Quality Control Commission, and
the Environmental Protection Agency" and "All potentially hazardous chemicals must be handled in a safe
manner in accordance with product labeling. All chemicals must be stored secure, on an impervious
surface, and in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations".
Mr. Gathman requested that the following Development Standard be included for the Department of
Planning Services "The landscape/screening on the site shall be maintained".
Motion: Add Condition of Approval 1.E.8 and Development Standards as requested by Staff, Moved by
Tom Cope, Seconded by Terry Cross. Motion carried unanimously.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the amended Development Standards and
Conditions of Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in
agreement.
Motion: Forward Case 1MJUSR17-05-1470 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the
amended Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's
recommendation of approval, Moved by Michael Wailes, Seconded by Joyce Smock.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote (summary: Yes = 7).
Yes: Bruce Sparrow, Gene Stille, Jordan Jemiola, Joyce Smock, Michael Wailes, Terry Cross, Tom Cope.
Commissioner Cope cautioned the applicants and said that it seems there are a lot of things that have not
been completed over the years and to make sure that they are completed to maintain this USR permit.
Commissioner Wailes echoed Mr. Cope's comments.
Commissioner Jemiola also echoed Mr. Waile's and Mr. Cope's comments.
Meeting adjourned at 7:55 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
