25. 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
RESOLUTION USR13-0067
RONALD PAPPENHEIM, C/O BILL BARRETT CORPORATION
PAGE 7
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.

Pat Staples, 19706 East Druhard Drive, Aurora, Colorado, stated that she is a landowner that is fairly
close to this site and is concerned with getting access to her property behind the railroad track. She
understands that there will be a second spur as well and is concerned with getting access to her property
as well as the impact from the traffic County Road 126.
The Chair asked for clarification on her access. Ms. Staples stated that she crosses one railroad now
and understands that she will have two railroad crossings and is concerned if she is able to go over
crossings.
Commissioner Smock asked what the land is currently. Ms. Staples said that it is agricultural but they do
have a CRP contract and are letting it go back to its natural state.
The Chair asked Mr. Carroll to address the maintenance on County Road 126. Mr. Carroll said that they
do understand that it is a highly truck traveled road and they do perform maintenance on the road every
year. He added there are facilities in the area that they have Road Maintenance Agreements with on
County Road 126 as well.
Mr. Edwards said that because this is a Union Pacific track they need to keep rail cars moving so there
won't be any rail cars sitting on the spurs. He said that there might be a 10 to 15 minute wait while the
train is coming onto or leaving the terminal. To answer Ms. Staples questions, Mr. Edwards stated that
she will be able to drive over the railroad spurs.
The Chair asked the applicant if they have read through the Development Standards and Conditions of
Approval and if they are in agreement with those. The applicant replied that they are in agreement.
