29. 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
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.
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 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.

Department of Planning Services recommends approval of this application with the attached conditions of
approval and development standards .
Wayne Howard , Engineering , reported on the existing traffic, access and drainage conditions and the
requirements on site .
Lauren Light, Environmental Health , reviewed the public water and sanitary sewer requirements , on-site
dust control , and the Waste Handling Plan .
Greg Fantle , Centennial Storage , stated that they have been in business for 35 years at three (3 ) different
locations . This facility will house 90 RV's undercover with 15 acres of open storage . He said that he has
spoken with all the surrounding property owners but for the last landowner on the road . He added that he
left notes for the landowners but has been unable to speak to them . Mr. Fantle provided a description of
the site layout of the proposed project.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application .
Sandy Rice , 605 CR 7 , stated that she is not opposed to this site ; however she is opposed to it as written .
n
She feels that there should be stipulations put on the permit. Ms . Rice stated that she is concerned with
1
the access on their private road. She said that that Highway 7 is currently gridlocked and is very difficult
getting onto or off of. She is concerned with the 24/7 access with the traffic, lights and noise associated
with RV's. She requested that the noise be limited to 50 decibels and would like to see brick or concrete
walls installed for screening.
The Chair asked the applicant to address the access issue. Mr. Fantle said that Sheridan Boulevard is
under the Town of Erie's jurisdiction and at the request of a previous applicant for the site Erie did not
allow access from Sheridan Boulevard. Mr. Fantle said that they have an easement that provides legal
access from County Road 7. He said that he will grade and maintain and put dust control on the
roadway.
Mr. Fantle said that he will screen the north, west and south sides of the property.
Commissioner Smock asked if there will be a caretaker on site as proposed. Mr. Fantle said that they
designed the facility for that eventual probability that someone will live there.
The Chair asked the applicant if he has read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if he is in agreement with those. Mr. Fantle referred to Development Standard 26 relating to
necessary personnel from Weld County being granted access to the property and asked that they be
accompanied by an owner of the business. He added that it will be a secured facility and someone will
need to let them in. Ms. Aungst said that staff typically let the owners know when they need to come on
site and believes it is covered under the statement "at any reasonable time"; however she said that staff
would be okay with that amendment.
Motion: Amend Development Standard 26 to read "Necessary personnel from the Weld County
Departments of Planning Services, Public Works, and Public Health and Environment shall be granted
access onto the property and accompanied by a property owner in order to ensure the activities carried
out on the property comply with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards stated herein
and all applicable Weld County regulations", Moved by Benjamin Hansford, Seconded by Nick
Berryman.
Vote: Motion passed (summary: Yes = 5, No = 3, Abstain = 0).
Yes: Benjamin Hansford, Bruce Johnson, Bruce Sparrow, Nick Berryman, Terry Cross.
No: Jordan Jemiola, Joyce Smock, Michael Wailes.
Commissioner Wailes stated that he believes it is implied in the language.
Commissioner Smock agreed with the original language.
The Chair asked the applicant if he has read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if he is in agreement with those. The applicant replied that he is in agreement.
Motion: Forward Case USR15-0045 to the Board of County Commissioners along with the amended
Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning Commission's recommendation of
