Applicant: Scott Koskie, do Weld County Public Works
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Mineral
Resource Development including open pit mining (sand, gravel and stone) and
materials processing including stockpiling, crushing, screening, recycling operations
and importing of raw and recycled materials in the A (Agricultural)Zone District.
Legal E2 Section 12, T10N, R67W in the 6th P.M., Weld County Colorado.
Description:
Location: South of and adjacent to CR 120; approximately one-half mile east of CR 23.
Size of Parcel: +/- 320 acres; +/-40 acres to be mined Parcel No. 0303-12-0-00-007
Case Summary:
The applicant is requesting a USR to mine approximately 40 acres of a 320 acres parcel. The application
materials indicate that the gravel deposits are stream channel deposits from Lone Tree Creek, an
ephemeral stream that is located approximately one-half mile to the east of the site. During full mining
and processing operations two mobile trailers (generator and mechanical) will be on site. Equipment
maintenance and limited amounts of fuel and lubricants may be store. The estimated thickness of
gravel—bearing zone varies from 0-15 feet thick. It is estimated that the site has about 10 years or less of
gravel and sand reserves. Approximately 30 acres, 15 acres for stock piling and 15 acres for mining, will
be disturbed during the mining operation. Following temporary mining disturbances from the proposed
Koskie Pit, the reclaimed land use will be returned to cropland for the continuation of agricultural
operations. The applicant received conditional of approval of Permit No. M-2014-024 from State of
Colorado Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety (DRMS) for the County Construction Material
Operation. The site is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area.
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.A - A.Goal 1 states, "Respect and encourage the continuation of
agricultural land uses and agricultural operations for purposes which enhance the
economic health and sustainability of agriculture." Following temporary mining
disturbances from the proposed Koskie Pit, the reclaimed land use will be returned to
cropland for the continuation of agricultural operations.
USR14-0041
Page 2 of 9
Section 22-5-80.B - CM.Goal 2 states, "Promote the reasonable and orderly development
of mineral resources." and Section 22-5-80.B - CM.Goal 2. states, "Promote the
reasonable and orderly development of mineral resources." According to the Weld
County Sand, Gravel Resources map dated July 1, 1975, the property is classified as T-1
(Stream Terrace Deposits — relatively clean and sound). The application materials
indicate that the gravel deposits are stream channel deposits from Lone Tree Creek. The
estimated thickness of gravel —bearing zone varies from 0-15 feet thick. It is estimated
that the site has about 10 years or less of gravel and sand reserves. Approximately 30
acres, 15 acres for stock piling and 15 acres for mining, will be disturbed during the
mining operation. During full mining and processing operations two mobile trailers
(generator and mechanical) will be on site. Equipment maintenance and limited amounts
of fuel and lubricants may be stored.
Section 22-5-80.D.1 - CM.Policy 4.1 states, in part, "Require all mining operations
conform to federal, state and local environmental standards." The applicant received
conditional of approval of Permit No. M-2014-024 from State of Colorado Division of
Reclamation and Mining Safety (DRMS) for the County Construction Material Operation
and the rural nature of the area and the existing mining operations make the proposed
mining operation and reclamation plan compatible with surrounding land uses.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2. -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A
(Agricultural) Zone District, Section 23-3-40.A.3 allows for a Site Specific Development
Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development including
open pit mining (sand, gravel and stone) and materials processing including stockpiling,
crushing, screening, recycling operations and importing of raw and recycled materials in
the A(Agricultural)Zone District.
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the
existing surrounding land uses.
The adjacent properties are mainly utilized for pastures, crops, and rural residences. The
closest residence is about one-quarter mile west of the west property line and about
three-quarters of a mile southwest of the mining activity.
There are three (3) USRs located within one mile of this parcel. USR-603 for gravel
mining and USR13-0065 for a transloading terminal are located north of the site and
USR-1183 for a gasline is located one mile to the east of the site. The Weld County
Department of Planning Services has not received any correspondence from surrounding
property concerning this USR.
The applicant received conditional of approval of Permit No. M-2014-024 from State of
Colorado Division of Reclamation and Mining Safety (DRMS) for the County Construction
Material Operation and the rural nature of the area and the existing mining operations
make the proposed mining operation and reclamation plan compatible with surrounding
land uses.
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 the three (3) mile referral area of any 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

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 40 acres that is primarily designated as High Potential
Dry Cropland - Prime if they become Irrigated" and partially "Other lands" per the 1979
Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. This USR will not
take any of"Prime (Irrigated)" Farmland 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

29. 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.
USR14-0041

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.

Dear Applicants
I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on September 16, 2014, at
1:30 p.m. A subsequent hearing with the Board of County Commissioners will be held on October 8,
2014 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
