the definitions were once part of Ordinance #2015-26 and following some further discussions with the
Commissioners and the industry, it was decided to separate it into its own ordinance. IR Dennis
Hoshiko, resident of Greeley, presented concerns about the County notifying residents and landowners
about pipeline projects impacting property owners. He is concerned that the size and pressure
parameters are very limiting. He stated what qualifies a pipeline to be noticed to affected parties is the
lines have been contractually granted. Mr. Hoshiko proposed to the Board to consider to eliminate any
reference to size and substance of a pipeline. He submitted his proposed language to the County
Attorney. Mr. Hoshiko explained to the Board the reason he wants to see this proposed language added
to the code. He stated Saddlehorn was using State Statue to take immediate possession of people's
property to construct their pipelines. He cited a recent Supreme Court Ruling that deals with right of
eminent domain and prior notification from the private companies. Commissioner Cozad expressed
that it isn't feasible for the Planning Department to permit all the pipelines because of the large amount
in the County but she is in agreement with the impacts on the property owner. Mr. Hoshiko outlined his
experiences with the oil and gas industry. when it comes to their pipelines. He explained the pipelines
that cross over property where the oil and gas does not originate is when the affected public should be
notified. O Ms. Lundquist stated if there is a ditch crossing, the County right-of-way staff requires
notification from the ditch company that they accepted the crossing. If it is outside of the right-of-way, it
needs to be approached the same as the ditch easement and they are responsible to work with property
owners to obtain easement. Commissioner Moreno stated Mr. Hoshiko's concerns can be addressed on
Final Reading and he appreciates him taking the time to present his concerns. Commissioner Cozad
stated there may need to be further discussion on produce water and how the size of pipelines may
impact adjacent property owners. Commissioner Moreno moved to approve on Second Reading. The
motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Cozad, carried unanimously. Chair Freeman thanked Mr.
Hoshiko for bringing his concerns to the Board and to staff.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. Code Ordinance #2016-07 was approved on Second Reading.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 9:54 a.m.
