19) 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, sand burs, 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.
D. The Change of Zone plat map shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services' for
recording within 3 years of approval by the Board of County Commissioners. With the
Change of Zone plat map, the applicant shall submit a digital file of all drawings associated
with the Change of Zone application.

2. At the time of Final Plan submission:
A. Easements shall be shown in accordance with County standards and/or Utility Board
recommendations, and dimensioned on the final plat. Easements shall follow rear and side
lot lines and shall have minimum total width of twenty (20) feet apportioned equally on
abutting properties. Where front line easements are required, a minimum of fifteen (15) feet
shall be allocated as a utility easement. (Department of Planning Services)
B. A Final Drainage Report and Certification of Compliance stamped and signed by a
Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado is required. (Department of
Planning Services — Engineer)

Please address the below and submit the information requested prior to the PC Hearing on 6/21.
1. The school bus shelter and mail box kiosk shall be located on an outlot and shall be maintained by the
Homeowners Association (HOA).
2. In order to achieve number one please rename all the "Tracts" to "Outlots".
3. Confirm with RE4 that the bus shelter is required and in the right location. Place the bus shelter on an outlot and
not in an easement. The building department will not issue a building permit for a structure in the easement.
4. Provide detail of the Overhead sign with the height, width, etc. The side of the overhead sign that is on lot one
must be on an outlot. Remove both side from the easement. Show the required setback for this sign.
5. For the safety of the residents move the mailbox to Tract A (Outlot A) and do not show it in an easement.
FYI - The payment to the school district is required prior to recording the PUDZ plat.
