APPLICANT: City of Northglenn
CASE NUMBER: SUP-378 : 78 : 30
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Wzj Section 36, T1N, R68W
LOCATION: Northeast corner of the intersection of County Roads 2 and 11 ,
approximately 5 miles south and i mile west of Dacono
SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment and Storage Facilities
APPEARANCE: Richard Lundahl, Bob McGregor and Dr. Jack Sheaffer
DISCUSSION: This application was continued from the February 6, 1979
Planning Commission hearing in order to hear new evidence if there is any
new evidence at this time, to have Norghglenn come up with some concrete
information on the water augmentation plan, and proof that it needs to be
in Weld County. At this time Ken Wright , water rights engineer, explained
the procedure of the water augmentation plan approved by the Water Court
and the negotiations involved. He then addressed several items of concern
which included the double use of irrigation water; use of water out of
Grange Hall Creek; and taking irrigated farmland out of production . He
stated basically ,that there will be no problem with the double use of water
because Northglenn will not be increasing the burden on the river; part of
the replacement of the replacement water will come out of Grange Hall
Creek which will 'be storm run-off from the streets and storm sewers of
Northglenn and w' ll be captured before it gets to the South Platte River;
and that taking irrigated farmland out of production is a good plan . It
has been a major ',objective from the beginning of the plan to not hurt
agriculture and to do everything they could do to meet the state objectives
of preserving and enhancing the agricultural economy in the state and on
the South Platte 'River.

Planning Commission TTir, as

February 20 , 1979
Mr. Joseph Cope at this time addressed the concerns of the Planning
Commission at the last meeting in which they requested a listing of
water rights owned or under contract by the City of Northglenn ; a water
budget showing how the water supplies owned by Norghglenn will be
balanced against the replacement requirement ; and a memorandum describing
the problem of the plan for augmentation material that was sent to the
Planning Staff . He said if necessary he would go into further detail .
At this time Russ Anson responded that this information is a matter for
the water Court to decide and is irrelevant as far as the Planning
Commission is concerned. He then referred to the use of water as it
relates to the Comprehensive Plan . Bob McGregor then addressed the
concern of the Planning Commission in regard to why the area lagoon site
was chosen to be In Weld County . He stated basically that there are
operational advantages such as good quality control of the affluent and
any necessary repairs; more control on the part of the farmers ; and it
protects agriculture and urban sprawl . John Hall of the Weld County
Health Department was asked to comment on the proposed. Mr. Hall stated
that the laws that govern the facility are state laws , but there could
very well be pressure from the county. He also stated that there will be
some odors , although what is. considered to be an odor to one person could
not be an odor to another person. No data is available to date to
indicate there will be pollution . Discussion followed regarding possible
contamination of domestic wells.
Chairman Carlson then opened the hearing to comments from persons in the
audience . At this time Albert Watada of Consolidated Ditch Companies
again expressed his opposition because of odor and the economic siutation
of water in the area that will be affected; Elton Miller - Northglenn has
adequate sewage treatment and no need to have it in Weld County; Frank
Suckla - Effect of water loss to the agricultural area and wastewater
pollution from Stanley Reservoir to Frederick' s water supply; Frank Culkin
in representing Wiesner Subdivision again stated there there was no need
for the proposal, and also commented on the monitoring of viruses and odors .
He also referred to the operation of the Muskegon plant and the treatment
of water; Bob Brand, engineering consultant for Consolidated Ditches,
discussed the amount of acres that will dry up because of the proposal ;
J. L. Sears - Expressed his general feelings , but stated he could reach
no conclusion one way or the other; Ron Anderson - Effects of pollution
on the South Platte River. Dr. Jack Sheaffer briefly rebutted to the
comments of Frank Culkin by stating that the Muskogen plant is under a
different system and water treatment is longer; there will be no foul
odors and they fully expect to monitor viruses . Marian Staats asked for
an explanation of the "key" that had been referred to by Adolph Bohlender.
Mr. Bohlender stated that the ditch company will not turn on the "key" for
the water unlessjall standards are met by Northglenn.
MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval with the Development
Standards and addition of Development Standard-#13 based on the staff ' s
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. Motion by Jim Gilbert ,
seconded by Jerry Kiefer. A vote of "aye" was cast by Chuck Carlson , Jerry
Kiefer, Ben Nix and Jim Gilbert . A vote of "no" was cast by Fred Otis.
Absention votes were cast by Percy Hiatt , Frank Suckla and Bette Kountz.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Pt . .NWI , Section 28 , T7N, R58W
LOCATION: Approximately 3 miles south of Raymer
SUBJECT: Microwave Tower Site
APPEARANCE: John Lehman
DISCUSSION: Mr . Lehman stated that this is a communication system which
is part of 27 sites which run from Hesston, Kansas to Rawlins , Wyoming.
This system is a part of the pipeline. system which is being laid to trans-
port natural gas from the Rawlins area to the present system near Hesston,
Kansas . Federal approval was received in November: . These towers are used
for constant communication with the compressor stations along the pipe-
line system for regulating the flow of gas, for efficient operations and
for any problems that might occur , Discussion followed regarding the

LOCATION: Approximately 5 miles east of Briggsdale
SUBJECT: Microwave Tower Site
APPEARANCE: Jim Lehman
DISCUSSION: Application and request is the same as CUP-41 . No discussion .
Tom Bonn read the staff ' s recommendation for approval and the Development
Standards . There was a letter of opposition from a surrounding property
owner in regard to the tower being an eyesore ; it would attract lightning;
depreciation of property values ; it would be a health hazard as regards
radiation type effects ; interference with television, radio and CB
reception . Mr. Lehman responded that an eyesore is in the eyes of the
beholder, that the tower would attract lightning, but would be a protectio ,
not a detriment ; he has no way of assessing the depreciation of property
values; radiation has not been a problem. Perhaps this has been confused
with microwave ovens; there would be no problem with interference with
televisions, etc. as they are too far away and on a different frequency.
John Hall of the Weld County Health Department asked what would happen if
someone got between two tower lines . Mr. Lehman responded nothing would
happen . Fred Otis asked why a telephone cannot be used for the communicati n
system. Mr. Lehman responded that it is cheaper to use their own system
and they have better control over it .
MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval with the Developme t
Standards to the ,;Board of County Commissioners based on• the"staff' s
recommendation . Motion by JerryKiefer, seconded by Bette Kountz. A vote
of "aye" was cast, by Chuck Carlson , Jerry Kiefer, Fred Otis, Ben Nix, Jim
Gilbert , Percy Hiatt , Frank Suckla and Bette Kountz. Motion carried.

Dear Mr. Baich:
Thank you for your March 3 letter. The Department of Planning Services' staff
has reviewed your request to locate a doppler weather radar system on the
existing radio tower approved with Conditional Use Permit 42. The staff has
determined that this would not be considered a material deviation from the
approved plans. Building permits will be required for the construction and must
be issued prior to the start of any construction.
The address for this location is 43962 Weld County Road 89, Briggsdale, Colorado.
Please call me if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Schuett
After careful evaluation of existing weather coverage services, KCNC
determined that the Northern section of the Front Range is
inadequately covered by new technologies that would assist in
detecting potentially hazardous weather systems . With this important
area "uncovered" , KCNC TV-4 has established a goal to commission the
operation of onr of our own doppler weather radar systems in this
area prior to the oncoming storm season.
After an in-depth technical review, I have ascertained that an
existing communications tower located 5 . 6 miles east of Briggsdale ,
just off highwa 14 would provide us with the best possible coverage
area for severe weather detection. Williams Natural Gas Company owns
and operates th' s tower for their communications systems . This
property: NORTH 500 FEET OF THE WEST 500 FEET OF NORTH WEST QUARTER
OF SECTION 28 TOWNSHIP 8 NORTH RANGE 61 WEST, WELD COUNTY; is under
special use permit # 42 per our phone conversation on March 20th .
Mr. Schuett, Based on my prior phone conversation with Mr. Ed
Stoner on March 10th , I started scheduling materials and our
contractors work schedules based on the apparent need for only a
building permit process requiring only 10 working days . Now that we
are better informed on the zoning requirements of this property we
are concerned that we will not meet our goal of providing severe
weather detection in the area before the storm season starts. I
would ask you to please expedite your review process as much as
possible so that we can adjust our construction schedule to meet the
County' s requirements and hopefully our installation date goals .
Finally, if you could please assign an address to this location so
that we can process the required telephone/data facilities order as
soon as possibl . The telephone facilities we will require at this
location usuall have an installation lead time in excess of 4 weeks .
Please feel freg to contact me at any time if you require additional
information or assistance with your review. You can reach me during
normal business hours at my office number: 1-830-6327 or anytime via
my digital beeper: 1-230-'4408 .

Re: Protest to construction of Cities Service Gas Company
micro*ave;,tower to be located on property described
as Pt. NPdg, Sece 28, S8N, P61W.
This letter is in protest to above described microwave' tower to be
situatedlon referred to above described property for the following
reasons:
1. Definite eyesore and destruction of beauty to surrouning
countryside, within plain view of the public.
2. An attractant of lightening which would be a definite -
danger to our home, farm buildings, family and cattle
located within: a short distance directly across the highway.
3. Location of same would be depreciating the value of our
property.
4. Until proven otherwise, we consider the microwave tower
to be a definite health hazard to-the well—being of our
family and livestock, as pertains to radiation type effects,
5. Interference with our television, radio and CB reception
(vital to our every day living regarding weather conditions.
6. ctt would seem that our property, family and livestock are
'the most adversely effected as a result of such construction,
and those persons receiving the monetary benefits of same
should be the ones affected with the hazards.
- In closing, would like to suggest that, inasmuch as, there are thousands
of acres in our area where location could be that would not interfer
and present hazards as mentioned in-our protest that another site should
be decided on,
In view of all the efforts being made to correct and preserve the beauty
of our country, it is inconceivable that consideration would be given
to such construction location.
Sincer ly yours,

Dear Mr. Cunliffe:
Recently, we discussed the procedure by which Cities
Service Gas Company could apply for conditional use permits for
three (3) microwave tower sites in Weld County, Colorado. These
microwave tower locations are necessary for use in conjunction
with Cities Service Gas Company ' s 20-inch natural gas pipeline
from Hesston,; Kansas to Rawlins, Wyoming, which has been
certificated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Applications for these conditional use permits are attached
for filing.
I have attempted to ensure that each of the three (3)
applications has been prepared in conformance with your procedural
guide for obtaining a conditional use permit, and in conformance
with our telephone conversation. If you have any questions or
comments concerning these applications , please feel free to
contact me at my above address , or call me at (405) 236-0601,
Ext. 483 .
Very truly

The following c mments are in relation to your request for site and soil t,. '
information for three areas under consideration for construction of
microwave towers.
The first area of consideration is a tract location in the SE4 of Section
20, Twp. 12N, Range 67W. As shown on the location map, the site appears
to be located on the soil type Otero sandy loam, 3 to 9 percent slopes.
This is a deep, well drained soil with a rapid permeability, medium to �--.• -
rapid surface r{u�noff and a low erosion hazard. Some of the soils in this is ..,..
b��°:' y“
area may have shale and sandstone within 60 inches of the surface. This ra, .
soil should exhibit good bearing strength for slab on grade construction. pommimmic
However, it is very susceptable to wind erosion due to its light surface ,
texture. Surface protection of any disturbed areas should be of prime
consideration by either use of mulches or revegetation.
The second area of consideration is the tract located in the SEZ of section
22, Twp. 7N, Ra-ige 58W. As indicated by the location map, the site is on
two soil types. They are Terry fine sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes and a
Weld loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. The Terry fine sandy loam is a moderately "* :_
deep, well drained soil with sandstone usually found at depths of 20 to 40 •--u.
inches. This soil has a moderately rapid permeability, slow surface runoff ,,,
and a low erosion hazard. It exhibits good surface strength that should be
adequate for slab on grade construction. The surface of this soil is sus— . ''
ceptable to win erosion when exposed, and surface protection should be of
prime importance during construction. Mulches and revegetation are methods i.,,.':,.
to provide this protection. ------
Weld loam is a deep, well drained soil with slow permeability, slow surface --.•
runoff and a slight erosion hazard. This soil exhibits weak supportive '; •
strength which. may not be acceptable for the type of construction being
Hi '
considered. It also exhibits a shrink-swell potential that may preclude es,1 ,
desired use. A soil engineering analysis should be made for this soil to a-perz

The third site under consideration is located in the NWT of Section
28, Twp. 8N, Range 61W, and from the location map appears to be made
up of the soil type Platner sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. This
is a deep, well drained soil with slow permeability, low surface run- M' `},

off, slight erosion hazard and a moderate soil blowing hazard. The 0t
Al
limiting factor for this soil is the presence of a heavy clay
loam between 8 and 20 inches which has a very high shrink-swell
factor. Any foundations or slab on grade will have to be specially
designed for Ise in this area.
Enclosed for your information are the descriptions for the individual
soils and copies of the soil maps for the three areas. This informa- -_.. ._
tion is provided on a general basis and does not preclude the necessity ��.
for on-site irvestigations. or soil engineering analysis, should features A,.

An example of a suitable cropping system is alfalfa 3 to 4 years
• followed by corn, corn for silage , sugar beets , small grain, beans and
back to alfalfa. Some conservation practices such as land leveling,
ditch lining and pipelines may be needed for proper water applications .
All meth ds of irrigation are suitable with furrow irrigation the '
most connon type used. Barnyard manure and commercial fertilizers
are needed for top yields along with maintaining good organic matteriiii

and minimum

Several midgrasses such as western wheatgrass and needle-and-thread

are also p esent. Potential production ranges from 1600 pounds per
acre in fa' orable years to 1000 pounds per acre in unfavorable years .
When range condition deteriorates , the midgrasses decrease , blue grama , (!
buffalograss , snakeweed , yucca and fringed sage increase and production La,
drops. Undesirable weeds and annuals invade the site as range
thsal condition becomes poorer.
Management of vegetation on this soil should be based on taking

advisable if range is in poor condition. • Sidcoats grama, little

bluestem, western wheatgrass , blue grama, pubescent wheatgrass and
crested wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. The grass selected
should meet the seasonal requirements of livestock. For successful
seeding, a clean, firm, sorghum stubble. -- prepared the growing
season prior to seeding -- or; a' firm, prepared seedbed and grass
drill should .be used . Early spring seeding has proven most successful.

Openland wildlife , such as pheasants , mourning doves and cottontails
are best adapted to this soil. Wildlife habitat development , including
tree and shrub plantings as well as grass plantings to serve as

This Weld soil has a good potential for urban and recreational
