SUBJECT: USR15-0065 McDonald Farm
The Weld County Department of Planning Services-Engineering has reviewed this proposal. Staff
comments made during this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues may
arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
General Project Information/Location:
Oil and gas equipment storage
This project is west of and adjacent to CR 35 and is south of CR 36. Parcel number 121111100001. Access
is from CR 35.
Traffic:
Latest ADT on CR35 was taken on 7/24/13 which counted 73 vpd with 33% trucks. ADT on CR32 were
taken 4/16/14 which counted 1805 vpd with 50% being trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated there are up to 8 passenger
vehicles, up to 15 tandem trucks,and up to 15 semi-trucks accessing the site. 90%of the trips are expected
to be from CR32 north along CR35 to the site.
Access:
An access permit has been approved for the access to the site (AP15-00508 for one small commercial
access off of CR35).
For shared accesses, Public Works strongly recommends that the property owner establish an access road
maintenance agreement so future owners of the properties will be aware of their requirements for shared
maintenance of the access road. This is not a requirement for the recorded exemption but is recommended
to avoid property owner conflicts in the future.
Entrance gates (if applicable) must be set back a minimum of 100 feet from edge of shoulder to allow a
truck with trailer or RV to pull completely off of the roadway and open the gate. In no case shall any
vehicle(s)stopped to open a gate be allowed to create a safety issue for roadway users.
TRACKING CONTROL:
There is currently a cattle guard at the entrance to the site. By adding 300ft of recycled asphalt or road base
the site will meet the minimum requirements for tracking control. Tracking control is required to prevent
tracking from the site onto public roadways. Minimal standards are listed below. Temporary Tracking
Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control is installed ahead of
construction activities.
More than 10 round truck trips/day(tandem or semi-trucks)or more than 50 round passenger vehicles trips:
Access onto gravel roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300ft of recycled
asphalt or road base.
*Recycled concrete is not allowed in County ROW
**Tracking control devices can be double cattle guards or other specialized device
"" Tracking control for unmaintained public ROW is required just prior to entering publically maintained
roadways.
A development standard will be included on the recorded site plan. "The site shall be maintained to
mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or offsite tracking."
A variance request for alternatives to the above tracking control can be submitted to the Traffic Division of
Public Works for review and consideration.
Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement:
The combined truck trips of tandems and semis is up to 30 which exceeds the trigger of 21. An
Improvements Agreement between the Applicant and the County will be required for this project. It will detail
the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite improvements will be triggered, and include a maintenance
agreement for the haul routes.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
http://www.co.weld.co.us/Departments/Plan n i ngZon i ng/Land UseApplicationsAssistance/Appl icationAssist
ance.html
An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required offsite improvements. Collateral is
required to ensure the improvements are made.
Road Maintenance is typically included as a section of the Improvements Agreement when the
County feels that the site activities may impact the County roadways. Possible mitigations included
in the road maintenance agreement may include but are not limited to: dust control, specified haul
routes, damage repairs, and future improvement triggers.
Drainage Requirements:
The applicant is not increasing the imperviousness of the site and therefore meets one of the stormwater
detention requirements. No stormwater pond is required.
Grading Permit
A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications
are accepted after the planning process is complete (plan recorded). An Early Release Request Form may
be entertained only after the applicant and Planning Department have reviewed the referral and surrounding
property owner comments. The Early Release Request may or may not be granted depending on referral
comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact a Engineering representative from the
Planning Department for more information.
A Construction Stormwater Permit is also required with the State for disturbing more than 1 acre. Contact:
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment,Water Quality Control Division, Rik Gay, 303-692-
3575.
Geologic Hazard Area:
This area IS NOT in a Geologic Hazard Area.
Floodplain:
This area IS NOT in a FEMA regulatory floodplain.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
A. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for offsite improvements at this
location. Road maintenance including dust control, damage repair, specified haul routes and future
traffic triggers for improvements will be included. (Department of Public Works)
B. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 35 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan
as a collector road which requires 80 feet of right-of-way at full buildout. The applicant shall
delineate on the site plan the future and existing right-of-way. All setbacks shall be measured from
the edge of future right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. (Department of Planning
Services-Engineer)
2. Show and label the approved access (AP15-00508), and the appropriate turning radii on the site
plan. (Department of Planning Services-Engineer)
3. Show and label all easements with the recorded document reception number and date on the site
plan. (Planning)
4. Show and label the approved tracking control on the site plan.
Prior to Construction:
A. The approved access and tracking control shall be constructed prior to on-site construction.
(Department of Planning Services-Engineer)
B. If more than one (1) acre is to be disturbed, a Weld County Grading Permit will be required.
(Department of Planning Services-Engineer)
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS (NOTES ON THE SITE PLAN)
1. Should noxious weeds exist on the property or become established as a result of the proposed
development, the applicant/landowner shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds, pursuant
to Chapter 15, Articles I and II, of the Weld County Code. (Department of Planning Services-Engineer)
2. The site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or
offsite tracking. (Planning and Engineering)

From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR15-0065 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV15-00103)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a commercial oil &gas storage without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld County Court
Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process. Since this application was submitted prior to an actual
court date being scheduled, NO investigation fee is required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff initiated complaints.
This violation was initiated on August 4, 2015.
If this application is approved by the Board of County Commissioners, it will correct this outstanding
violation. If this application is denied, all commercial storage shall be removed within 30 (thirty)days of
denial or the violation will proceed in court accordingly.

NOTICE OF MINERAL INTERESTS AND OIL AND GAS LEASEHOLD
INTERESTS OWNED BY ANADARKO LAND CORP., ANADARKO E&P
COMPANY LP AND KERR-McGEE OIL & GAS ONSHORE LP AND OBJECTION
Re: USR15-0065
National Western Holdings, LLC -Property Owner or"Applicant"
Township 3 North, Range 66 West
Section 11: part of the N/2NE/4 ("Property")
Weld County, Colorado
Mr. Ogle:
This objection and notice letter is submitted to Weld County ("County") on behalf of
Anadarko Land Corp. ("Anadarko Land"), Anadarko E&P Company LP ("Anadarko E&P"),
and Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP ("Kerr-McGee") with respect to the application for
a Site Specific Development Plan and USR Permit that has been filed with the County by
National Western Holdings, LLC ("Applicant") that includes property in the N/2NE/4 of
Section 11, Township 3 North, Range 66 West in Weld County.
Anadarko Land and Anadarko E&P (the "Anadarko entities") together own the
minerals that underlie the property located in Section 11 ("Property"). Kerr-McGee owns oil
and gas leasehold interests in the Property.
The Anadarko entities and Kerr-McGee wish to give notice to the County of the
mineral interests and oil and gas leasehold interests they own under the Property and make
the County aware that the approval of a final application may significantly impact the
prospective development of the minerals and oil and gas interests that underlie the Property.
The Anadarko Entities and Kerr-McGee object to the approval of a final application for
development until agreements on surface use are reached among the Anadarko entities, Kerr-
McGee and the Applicant covering the Property.
The following are comments in support of this Notice and Objection:
1. The Mineral Resources Owned by Anadarko Land Corp.
Anadarko Land owns all of the hard rock minerals, including the coal, that underlies
the Property. A Landman for Anadarko Land has reviewed the Property for coal resource
potential and determined that the Property is underlain with Laramie Formation coals that are
approximately 4.3 feet thick and lie at a depth starting at approximately 150 feet. Laramie
Formation coals have a high BTU of approximately 8,900 to 9,800 btu/lb and a low sulfur
content of between .3 and .8 percent. The Landman estimates that there may be over 4.79
million tons of Laramie Formation coal in Section 11.
2. The Oil and Gas Resources Owned by the Anadarko Entities.
The Anadarko entities together own all of the oil and gas that underlies the Property,
and Kerr-McGee owns oil and gas leasehold interests for the Property.
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC") reports reflect that
there are currently thirty-two producing wells in Section 11. Current COGCC rules and
regulation provide for five drilling windows in a quarter section where the Property is
located, one in the center of the quarter section and one in the center of each quarter quarter
section.
3. There is Clear Statutory Authority and Direction for the County to Take Into Account
the Rights of Mineral Interest Owners in Its Consideration of Applications for
Development.
The State of Colorado recognizes the important rights of mineral owners and lessees
in C.R.S. § 30-28-133O0) which states and acknowledges that both the mineral estate and
the surface estate are interests in land and that the two interests are "separate and distinct."
The subsection specifically recognizes that the owners of subsurface mineral interests and
their lessees have "the same rights and privileges as surface owners."
4. Owners of Split Estates Must Exercise Their Rights in a Way that Gives Due Regard
to the Rights of the Other.
Colorado law provides that the mineral owner has the right of reasonable access to
and use of the surface estate to extract minerals and that the mineral estate owner and the
surface estate owner are to give due regard to the rights of the other and reasonably
accommodate each other's rights.
5. The Anadarko Entities and Kerr-McGee Have Entered into Many Agreements with
Developers With Respect to the Disposition of the Minerals at the Time that the
Developer Proposes to Develop the Surface Estate, and the Public Interest is Served
by the Parties Entering into Such an Agreement.
The mineral assets have significant value and consequently the Anadarko entities and
Kerr-McGee are concerned that the approval by the County of an application for
development of the Property and the subsequent build-out of the Property may impair their
ability to develop their minerals and oil and gas interests.
Any future surface development plans approved by the County should incorporate
and designate lands to be set aside for oil and gas development and expressly provide
protection for future wells, pipelines, gathering lines and related oil and gas facilities and
equipment. Approval of any surface development plan that forecloses the rights of mineral
and leasehold owners may be a compensable taking.
The Anadarko entities and Kerr-McGee have extensive mineral and oil and gas
leasehold interests throughout the State of Colorado and have successfully worked with many
parties who wish to develop the surface estate in order to assure the compatible development
of the surface estate and the oil and gas estate or some other disposition of the minerals.
The practice of the Anadarko entities and Kerr-McGee is to meet with surface owners
to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, including the disposition of the hard rock mineral
interests. To date, the Anadarko entities and Kerr-McGee have not had any discussions with
the Applicant on this matter. Because no agreement has been reached between the parties that
covers the Property, and in order to protect their mineral and oil and gas interests and private
property rights, the Anadarko entities and Kerr-McGee object to the application and request
that the County make any approval of a final application for development of the Property
conditioned upon an agreement among the Anadarko entities, Kerr-McGee and the
Applicant.
Please contact me at 970-515-1186 if you have any questions or comments about this
matter. The Anadarko entities and Kerr-McGee hope to conclude a mutually acceptable
agreement with the surface owner of the property, and we look forward to working with the
Town to accomplish its land use planning goals.
Sincerely,
ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
