Lot A of Recorded Exemption RE -4003; being part of the E2NE4 of Section 23, T3N, R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO Approximately 2,000 feet south of County Road 32; west of and adjacent to County Road 35 Section Line Size of Parcel: +/- 20.2 acres Parcel No. 1211-23-1-00-040 Case Summary: Matt and Heather Young own and operate a fencing company utilizing pre -used pipe associated with the oil field arena. The pipe is cleaned and fabricated into pipe fencing. The site will be used to park and stage vehicles and equipment and will also have temporary storage of material associated with the business. The company will employ up to two (2) outside employees at full operation. The hours of operation are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Saturday. There will be a 1200 SF metal skinned building previously constructed without a building permit. The property owner, applicant, will obtain a building permit for the existing structure. There is an active Zoning Violation (ZCV16-00029) on the property. This violation was initiated due to the storage of a large quantity of fencing (pipe) materials 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. If this application is approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the Conditions of Approval met and the USR map recorded, these actions will correct this outstanding violation. If this application is denied, staff is requesting that the Board of County Commissioners refer this case to the County Attorney's Office to proceed with legal, but to delay legal action for 30 (thirty) days so that all commercial storage (metal/pipe material) can be removed from the property and moved to another property that is approved for such use. DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of the Weld County Code.

Additionally, the surrounding adjacent dryland properties are not being farmed due to the poor soil in the area. The property is located at least three miles east of the Town of Platteville and outside of the current Intergovernmental Agreement Area. Access to the property is from County Road 32, a paved road, then heading south on County Road 35, an unmaintained County right-of-way. There are two residences that utilize County Road south of County Road 32. Conditions of approval and the development standards associated with this facility will ensure that the proposed use is compatible with the vicinity and region. B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A (Agricultural) Zone District. Citing the following Code Sections, Section 23-3-40.S provides for any use permitted as a Use by Right, an accessory use, or a Use by Special Review in the commercial or industrial zone districts, provided that the property is not a Lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. Surrounding land uses are predominately large tract agricultural properties with limited residential development. Staff has not received any inquiries from surrounding property owners concerning this land use application. The Conditions of Approval require screening of the outdoor storage and the Development Standards will address the on -site lighting. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected municipalities. The site is not located within the three (3) mile referral area of a municipality. E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld County Code. The property is not within the Geologic Hazard Overlay District, the Flood Hazard Overlay District or the Airport Overlay District. The site is within the County -Wide Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion Impact Fee areas.

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 USR16-0020 MATTHEW YOUNG, Page 7 of 8 a rational 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 27. 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.
