28. 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
RESOLUTION USR15-0074
EDIE&STEVEN MESSICK
•
PAGE 7
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.
29. 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 USR15-0074, reading the recommendation and
comments into the record. Mr. Gathman noted that 11 letters and emails were received. Seven of those
letters received were from surrounding property owners and outlined concerns regarding noise from barking
dogs, decrease in property values and the adoption process. Two (2) surrounding property owners
provided follow-up letters indicating that they were not in opposition as long as it is operated in compliance
with County and State requirements and standards. Staff is requiring that dogs be kept indoors from 7 pm
to 7 am and added that there is a noise standard attached requiring the site to adhere to the residential
noise limits. The Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the
attached conditions of approval and development standards.
Commissioner Johnson asked what the distance is from the nearest residence. Mr. Gathman said it is
approximately 650 feet from the site.
Wayne Howard, Engineering, reported on the existing traffic, access and drainage conditions and the
requirements on site.
Lauren Light, Environmental Health, reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements, on-site
dust control, the Waste Handling Plan and the noise restrictions on site.
Edie Messick, 7731 CR 100, provided binders to the Planning Commission to provide a layout of the
property and the development plan. She said that the property was an existing cattle ranch with existing
buildings. She said that this project is for a dog rescue. She was not aware of the zoning permit required
and never blatantly ignored these laws; however she added that she was just ignorant. She stated that she
has complied with all of the application requirements and requested approval of this request.
Ms. Messick said that the dogs are kept inside at night. She added that the dogs are excited at feeding time
and will bark for about 15-20 minutes but after feeding they stop barking. She said that she has tried to
• reach out to her neighbors and added that she extended invitations for a meetin• to 11 neighbors.

Additionally, she spoke to Anadarko last week and assured them that they do not plan to build additional
• structures. She said that Anadarko indicated they had no problems with this request.
Commissioner Wailes asked about what they are proposing to do on site. Ms. Messick said that they rescue
dogs from high-kill shelters, owner surrenders, and offer hospice and a senior program. She added that all
the dogs are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, et cetera and then they find them homes. Ms.
Messick stated that they plan to put up some type of sound walls on the side of the property.
Commissioner Sparrow asked when feeding time is. Ms. Messick said that the dogs are fed inside at 6:30-
7:30 am. Mr. Sparrow asked if the feeding time could be adjusted if there are complaints about barking at
feeding time. Ms. Messick replied yes.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application.
Teri Hondo, 4138 Ebony Court, Loveland, stated that she recently adopted a dog from Ms. Messick. She
understands that one of the concerns was of the adoption process. She said that the adoption process
requires inspection of the home prior to adopting a dog. She added that she has visited the site several
times during the day and hasn't heard any dogs barking.
Dawn Peterson, 2114 42nd Avenue, Greeley, Colorado, stated that she is a landscape architect and she is
working with the applicants in designing the property. She provided a description of the proposed
landscaping design, including soil erosion.
Jerry Ewing, 7406 CR 100, stated he is not in opposition to this request; however he would like to have
some concerns addressed. He asked that there be some methods of noise reductions included in the noise
standards. Additionally, he would like assurance from staff that if a violation occurs that it would meet a
degree of significance to investigate. Mr. Ewing stated that he has no ill-will toward the applicant. He just
wants to maintain the peaceful character of the neighborhood.
• Ms. Light explained that any noise complaints can be directed to the Environmental Health Department,
Planning Department and/or Zoning Compliance Department. The Environmental Health Department has
noise monitoring equipment that can be used when a complaint has been filed.
Dawn Banks, 3714 Henderson Avenue, read a letter into record from Dr. Chad Zadina, who is the
veterinarian for Edie Messick's project. Ms. Banks noted that she has visited the site multiple times and
has not witnessed any barking. She added that the property is very clean and Ms. Messick takes care of
the animals very well.
The Chair asked if there are any changes to the conditions of approval or development standards. Mr.
Gathman asked the Planning Commission if they would want to consider a noise abatement plan.
Commissioner Jemiola said that it would be good to have a strong mitigation plan for noise for the neighbors
and to ensure that they maintain their USR. Ms. Messick said that as a growing business they are amenable
to making changes to mitigate noise but it will take time. Ms. Light noted that according to the regulations,
barking between 7 am to 7 pm can exceed the decibel level by 10 decibels and not to exceed 15 minutes
in any one hour. The Planning Commission doesn't feel that there is a need for a noise plan as the
regulations as stated by Ms. Light appear to cover that.
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.
Motion: Forward Case USR15-0074 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of approval,
Moved by Bruce Johnson, Seconded by Benjamin Hansford.
Vote: Motion carried by unanimous roll call vote(summary: Yes= 7).
Yes: Benjamin Hansford, Bruce Johnson, Bruce Sparrow, Gene Stille, Jordan Jemiola, Joyce Smock,
Michael Wailes.
• Commissioner Stille is concerned with the compatibility in that area. He appreciates that this is a rescue
for dogs and that it is a well-managed facility.

• Commissioner Sparrow echoed Mr.Stille's comments.
Commissioner Smock said that from the pictures it appears very well kept. She added that it is important
to maintain the agricultural part of the country as well as working with the neighbors.
Commissioner Jemiola commended Ms.Messick on her project and added that it appears the facility is
very clean. He added that it is very important to work with the neighbors.
The Chair asked the public if there were other items of business that they would like to discuss. Jerry Ewing
said that he is not opposed to the noise but just wants to ensure that it is kept to a minimum.
The Chair asked the Planning Commission members if there was any new business to discuss. No one
wished to speak.
Meeting adjourned at 4:11 pm.
