This violation was initiated due to the operation of a trucking business 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. If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a plat is recorded will correct this outstanding violation. If this application is denied,the commercial vehicles and all operations shall be removed from the property within 30 (thirty) days of denial or the violation will proceed in court accordingly.

Section 22: part of the SW/4 Weld County, Colorado Dear Mr. Ogle: This letter is being sent by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on behalf of its subsidiary Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Onshore LP ("KMG") to inform you KMG is the owner of valid oil and gas leases underlying all or parts of Section 22, Township 2 North, Range 66 West, for which Euden Baldenama ("Applicant") is seeking approval of a request for a site specific development plan and special review permit for a mineral resource development facility including oil and gas support in the A Zone District on the Property. KMG is submitting this comment and objection timely, in accordance with State of Colorado and the County's procedural requirements. KMG's recorded oil and gas leases are real property interests entitling it to produce oil and gas from the leased lands. The company has the right to produce from existing wells, to maintain, rework, recomplete, and fracture those existing wells to enhance production, and to drill new wells to produce oil and gas, in accordance with applicable Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission regulations and Colorado Statutes. KMG's oil and gas assets have significant value, and the company is consequently concerned about any development, surface use, plan of use, PUD, zoning or rezoning, or other action by the County that would impair or preclude its ability to develop its property. KMG's preferred practice is to meet with surface owners and attempt to conclude a mutually acceptable surface use agreement. In this case, KMG has spoken with the applicant and will begin negotiations with the surface owner, but an agreement has not yet been reached. KMG must object to any approval by the County for the Applicant's plans that fail to fully accommodate KMG's right to explore for, develop and produce oil and gas from its leasehold interests. KMG requests that the County withhold final plat approval until such time as the Applicant and KMG have concluded the surface use agreement. Any future surface A SUBSIDIARY OF ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORPORATION Weld County Department of Planning Service USR14-0039—Euden Balderrama September 30, 2014 Page 2 development plans should incorporate and designate lands to be set aside for mineral development and expressly provide protection for KMG's current and 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 owners may be a compensable taking. Please contact me at 970-515-1180 if you have any questions or comments about this matter.

Public Service Company has an existing electric transmission line and associated land rights as shown within this property. Any activity including grading, proposed landscaping, erosion control or similar activities involving our existing right-of-way will require Public Service Company approval. Encroachments across Public Service Company's easements must be reviewed for safety standards, operational and maintenance clearances, liability issues, and acknowledged with a Public Service Company License Agreement to be executed with the property owner. PSCo is requesting that, prior to any final approval of the development plan, it is the responsibility of the property owner/developer/contractor to contact Mike Diehl, Siting and Land Rights Supervisor at (303) 571-7260 or michael.diehl@xcelenergy.com, to have this project assigned to a Land Rights Agent for development plan review and execution of a License Agreement. The property owner/developer/contractor must contact the Builder's Call Line at 1-800-628- 2121 and complete the application process for any new gas tric service, or modification to existing facilities. It is then the responsibility of the developer to contact the Designer assigned to the project for approval of design details. Additional easements may need to be acquired by separate document for new facilities. As a safety precaution, PSCo would like to remind the developer to call the Utility Notification Center at 1-800-922-1987 to have all utilities located prior to any construction.

Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The application is for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a mineral resource development facility including oil and gas support (trucking company). On July 22, 2014 the Applicant obtained well permit no. 295085 and the use of the ground water from this well is limited to ordinary household purposes inside three (3) single family dwellings, the watering of the user's own non-commercial domestic animals, and the irrigation of not more than 1 acre of home gardens and lawns. The Applicant indicated that the primary use of water on site will be domestic. Supplemental commercial use on the property will be for one full time employee, the truck drivers (less than 2 hour/day) and the property owner. Since well permit no. 295085 does not allow for commercial use, the Applicant indicated that at the time of shop construction an exemption to the existing well permit use will be requested. Also prior to the bolding construction and permanent sanitary facilities portable toilets will be provided for drivers coming to the site. This office has no objection to the proposal, provided water from well permit no. 295085 is not used as a water supply for the proposed mineral resource development facility and its employees unless a new permit allowing for such commercial use is obtained. Should you have any questions, please contact loana Comaniciu of this office. Sincerely, Joanna Williams, P.E.
