correct the violation. Mr. Ogle stated the site is not in an overlay area, and he described the
surrounding land uses. He conveyed the site is within the three (3) mile area of the Towns of
Gilcrest and Platteville, neither of which had any concerns or conflicts. He stated, to date, no
correspondence in objection of the USR application has been received. He reviewed the intent to
use 80 acres of the 320-acre parcel for outdoor storage and staging and keep the remaining
portion of the parcel in agriculture. Mr. Ogle stated 13 referrals were sent out and three (3)
responded with comments considered by staff. He displayed images of the site and surrounding
area, and entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as
written.

the transportation plans and requirements and stated one small commercial access point has
been approved,Access Permit number,AP15-00508. He reviewed the average daily traffic counts
on County Road (CR) 35 and stated according to the traffic narrative, approximately eight (8)
passenger vehicles and up to 30 trucks will access the site per day. Mr. Howard reviewed the
requirements related to haul routes, tracking control and an Improvements Agreement, and stated
the site meets the exemption for stormwater detention.
• Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, reviewed the water and sewer
provisions stating a portable toilet is acceptable and Development Standards (DS) #5-16 address
Environmental Health items.
le Scott McDonald, owner/applicant, stated they have a trucking operation and additional
equipment that needs to be stored and they did not realize a permit was necessary until the
violation. He explained once they were aware, they worked quickly to begin the USR process and
he noted that the rest of the property will be seeded for wheat production.
• Paul Ratliff, on behalf of Anadarko entities, requested their objection letter be part of the
public record and stated they made an attempt to work with the applicant to reach an agreement
but, to date, have been unable to do so. Mr. Ratliff requested the approval include a conditional
agreement based on preserving their mineral rights. Chair Freeman interjected this is a separate
issue to remain between the private entities.
• In response to Chair Freeman, Mr. McDonald of National Western Holdings, LLC, indicated
no concerns regarding the Conditions of Approval or Development Standards.
• Commissioner Kirkmeyer corrected Development Standard (DS) #18 to read, "The parking
area..."and DS #25 to read, "The access to the site..."The Board agreed with the corrections.
