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
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
USR15-0004
Page 9 of 10
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.

RE: 15-0004
This is a revised application to the above case number after the public hearing held on April 7, 2015.
The complaints and abjections have been taken under consideration and action has been taken on my
part.
Changes to amend the original application would be to down size to 15 Trucks.
Hours of operation 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 Sunday to Friday. Saturday no operations in the yard. I would
reserve the right to allow the mechanic to work on Saturday behind closed doors.
Although there is 15 Trucks does not mean there is always 15 employees. The number of employees
vary as not all units have a full employee.
Employees spend about 15 minutes doing there pre trip inspections before leaving the yard. Upon
returning after their work day they spend about 30 minutes shutting down their truck and turning in
their paper work. The paper work is dropped in a box located outside the shop door and they leave.
Dust control: I have had a specialist out to examine and recommend the best and most efficient way to
control the dust. It was recommended fresh water spray every other day as needed or crush asphalt. We
have a 90 barrel bob tail truck with sprayers we intend to use until the weather allows us to put down
crush asphalt. Fresh water is purchased from Anthony of Tritan Water Dock located HWY 85 and HWY
34 in La Salle CO. Anthony's contact number is 970-988-4041.
Used tires: Agfinity HWY 85 in Greeley CO. allows us to deliver 4 to 5 at a time which we verified with
Ross, contact number 970-590-1229. We have in place a container for storing any tires for the purpose
of recapping so none will be left out.
Used oil is used in the oil burning furnace first, if over fill should occur along with antifreeze it will be
taken to Oreilly Auto Parts 2701 S 8`^Ave Garden City CO 970-346-8428.
There has been no truck washing or painting. My property is not equipped for water use or painting of
vehicles.
Campers will be stored on the property site but will not be used in any capacity. After the neighbors
concerns we have moved 2 off the property.
I have contacted Mendez Fencing Inc. PO Box 683 Platteville CO 80651, Alberto Mendez 970-534-1382.
He will give me fencing ideas to help shield activity.
To address the complaints of my neighbors I have spoken with Renee Perkins thus far. She commented
she likes the down size and less work hours and activity along with moving campers and trucks around.
She was appreciative and I asked her permission to drive in her drive way so that I could see what she
sees. Parking is an issue for her yet as well as Ms. Mary to the East of me. Mrs. Perkins made a
suggestion to move the parking to the West up along Road 44. I walked out the parking in that area and
walked out parking to the West and then north. I feel parking up on Road 44 would likely draw
unwanted attention and possible unsafe attention as well. As a compromise For parking the trucks I
have included a parking map. I will get this information to my neighbors for their review. It should get
the trucks away somewhat from them all.

Teri Schwartzkopf

Dear Applicant:
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on April 7, 2015, at 1:30 p.m.
A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on April 29, 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
