Case Summary:
Magellan Midstream Partners, proposes to use an 80-acre parcel of land, being part of the Wes Moser, Inc.
property as a Truck Unloading and Oil Storage Facility that will be the origination point for the Saddlehorn
Pipeline to transport crude oil from Weld County to Cushing, Oklahoma. From Cushing, the resource is
piped for refinement.
There will be eight 260,000 barrel crude oil storage tanks at the facility. Four will be constructed with the
initial project. These storage tanks will hold crude oil and light crude delivered to the facility until the material
is piped to Cushing, Oklahoma in the 20" Saddlehorn Pipeline. All storage tanks are sited within secondary
containment. Magellan anticipates the majority of inbound product to be received by 3rd party pipeline
connections minimizing the long term trucking of crude oil in the area. There will be up to 50 trucks per day.
The site will be secured and fenced with a 7-foot chain link fence topped with three strands of barbed wire.
Access to the facility will be controlled in the evenings with either a locked or keyed-entry only gate. During
daylight operating hours, the gates may be left open, otherwise, proposed gates 1 — 8 will be accessed via
keypad entry. A Knox box with an electric switch will be located on each of these gates for Fire Department
District access. Gates 9— 13 are personnel gates. These gates will be equipped with a panic bar exit feature
as well as more traditional lock and key entrance operating functions.
Lighting will be for security and maintenance purposes and shall not spill onto adjacent properties. A future
sign for the facility will not exceed 16 square feet in size and will not be greater than 6' tall. The facility will
operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. There will be up to 8 employees at this facility.
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of
the Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other
applicable code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-20. G.2. A.Policy 7.2 states "Conversion of agricultural/and to nonurban
residential, commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject
site is in an area that can support such development, and should attempt to be
compatible with the region"
The land that Magellan Midstream Partners is proposing to convert to industrial uses is
non-irrigated agricultural land that is located in a very rural area where there is a
significant amount of oil and gas activity already occurring.Therefore the proposed use
is compatible with the region.
Section 22-5-100. A. OG.Goal 1. states "Promote the reasonable and orderly exploration
and development of oil and gas mineral resources," and Section 22-5-100. B.OG.Goal
USR15-0016 Magellan Midstream Partners
Saddlehorn Origination Facility, Page 2
2. states "Ensure that the extraction of oil and gas resources conserves the land and
minimizes the impact on surrounding land and the existing surrounding land use."
The proposed Magellan Midstream Partners site is located in a sparsely populated
area of the County where there is already a significant amount of oil and gas
development. Since the site will utilize piping to bring oil to the facility it will generate
very little additional oilfield traffic in the area once the facility is operational. While
construction of the site will generate some impacts because of the extra activity and
trips to the site, once it is constructed, the sites impact on the surrounding land will be
minimal.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural)Zone District.
Citing the Weld County Code, Section 23-3-40.A.1 provides for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Special Review Permit for Mineral Resource Development
facilities, including, Oil and Gas Storage Facilities and Section 23-3-40.A.7 for
Transloading in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. (Magellan Midstream Partners
Saddlehorn Origination Facility)
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The proposed Magellan Midstream Partners Saddlehorn Origination Facility - Oil
Polishing Terminal facility has been designed to minimally impact the surrounding
properties. The property directly to the north is a similar facility, Rose Rock's truck
unloading facility. The properties to the south, west and east are range land or in crop
production. Oil and Gas activities can be seen on each parcel surrounding the proposed
project location. The nearest residential structure is more than 1/3 mile to the west and
more than 0.5 mile to the east. The project is anticipated to have minimal impact to the
existing land use of the subject parcel and those surrounding it.
D. 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 a three (3) mile referral area of any municipality, nor is it
located within any existing Intergovernmental Agreement Area (IGA)of a municipality.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Chapter 23, Article V, of the Weld
County Code. The existing site is within the County-Wide Road Impact Fee Area and the
Capital Expansion Impact Fee area.
Building Permits issued on the lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure of the
County-Wide Road Impact Fee Program.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lot will be required to adhere to the fee structure
of the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee Programs.
F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve
prime agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The proposed facility is located on approximately 80 acres identified as "irrigated lands —
not prime" per the 1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County
USR15-0016 Magellan Midstream Partners
Saddlehorn Origination Facility, Page, Page 3
Map. As there is no irrigation water associated with the proposed facility and currently no
irrigation located on site, no prime agricultural lands will be taken out of production.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 — There is adequate provisions for the protection of the health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards
(Section 23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development
Standards can ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health,
safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

30. 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
USR15-0016 Magellan Midstream Partners
Saddlehorn Origination Facility, Page, Page 8
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.

E2 SECTION 25, T3N, R65W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
Dear Applicants:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on May 5, 2015, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on May 27, 2015 at 10:00
a.m. Both hearings will be held in the Hearing Room, Weld County Administration Building, 1150 O
Street, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance to
answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County Commissioners may
have.
Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of
all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld
County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met.
A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten
days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road
right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not
adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place
on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway (access drive) intersects a
publicly maintained road right-of-way.
The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to
the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the
scheduled Planning Commission hearing. You may view the staff report at
