Chairman Sweat called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.

Conditional Use Permit:
Berry Petroleum Co., is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a business office building to be located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Highway 40 and 4000 South, in Section 2, Township 3 South, Range 2 W, U.S.B.&M. Located in the North Myton Bench area on property owned by Bernice Haueter, Trustee.

Mr. Hyde stated Berry Petroleum has applied for a conditional use permit for an office building and equipment yard on the west side of Highway 40 across from the North Myton bench road. The property is in a 5-acre zone for agricultural and residential but the County allows commercial use with a conditional use permit. A site plan has been received from the applicants showing the location of the office building in the southeast corner of the property it will be about 6000 square feet in size. There will be parking around the south and east sides of the building and landscaping separating the parking areas from the roads. The equipment yard is north of the building but the applicants haven’t indicated how far north they will go at this time. There would be a buffer zone between the storage yard and the property to the north. Mr. Hyde stated the Planning Commission’s decision must be based on the conditional use criteria and the County Ordinances. Mr. Hyde highlighted sections of the staff report, which is on file.

Mr. Hyde stated that since the agenda came out a letter from UDOT has been received on 4-5-05 indicating that they will not approve access to Highway 40 at this time but could be a possibility in the future. So at this time they will only consider access from 4000 South.

Mr. Hyde recommended that the Planning Commission approve this request based on the four conditions listed below:

1. Applicants shall submit a landscaping plan to the Community Development Administrator for review and approval prior to installation of landscaping.
2. Applicants shall screen the equipment storage area with sight-obscuring inserts in the chain link fence or vegetation or a combination thereof.
3.  Applicants agree to apply dust inhibitors to the equipment yard surface as necessary to prevent dust from becoming a nuisance.
 
4. Applicants shall limit their access to the property to the two road approaches to 4000 South unless granted access to Highway 40 by the Utah Department of Transportation. If Highway 40 access is granted by UDOT, this permit is contingent upon compliance with the terms of said UDOT access permit.

Mr. Hyde asked if there were any questions from the Planning Commission concerning the staff report.

Commissioner Barneck stated that since the applicants have indicated that they wanted an approach to Highway 40 and have been denied that access, would there be a problem if they wanted a third access on 4000 South? Mr. Hyde stated the applicants may want to modify their site plan showing a third access onto 4000 South, but I think that the county would prefer that they just keep it at two. Unlike UDOT, Mr. Hyde stated that he didn’t think the County Road Department is as strict about the number of approaches there are, but I think that we need to keep it minimal for traffic purposes onto 4000 South.

Chairman Sweat asked if there were any questions or comments.

Eddy Courtright, Berry Petroleum Co.; replied to Commissioner Barneck’s question regarding the approach. We would move the west access over closer to the yard so we would have a looping effect and exit the east access. So we think that the two accesses will be OK at this time.

Chairman Sweat asked if there was anyone that would like to voice opinions on this issue.

James Warr stated he owns property to the north and west of this and is very much opposed to having this business in the area because of traffic, noise, etc. We don’t want our area turning into a bunch of oilfield equipment and stuff. Also safety is an issue and concern with many of the neighbors.

When our parents sold the property to Mr. & Mrs. Haueter, they were going to build a house there, but instead they went up to Ioka Lane and so later on their son was suppose to build him a home there and that didn’t happen either. My sister stated that she has found the contract signed by Leo Haueter and my parents stating that the property not be resold without their permission to anyone other than something residential. Mr. Warr handed the paper to Chairman Sweat. Mr. Warr stated that it hadn’t been recorded but was put into an escrow account at the bank and the bank was trying to find the original copy. Chairman Sweat turned the papers over to Mr. Uresk so that he could read through them as to their legality. Mr. Hyde asked Mr. Warr if this document had been recorded down at the Recorder’s Office and Mr. Warr stated that he didn’t know if it had been, he only knew that it was put into a escrow account at the bank. Mr. Warr handed over a petition with 32 signatures of people from the area that are opposed to having a big business located near them. Mr. Warr stated that the people on the petition would like to stay a residential area and did not want any kind of business here. Mr. Warr stated that he would like the Planning Commission to deny Berry Petroleum’s permit under these circumstances.

Gene Ostler of Century 21 Realty stated that he is somewhat involved with this. Mr. Ostler stated that he had spoken to Kent Haueter in Logan, Utah at Zions Bank and he has no notice of these papers that were brought before the commission tonight. Mr. Ostler stated that Mrs. Duncan has sold a part of the original farm, which Uintah Basin Telephone now owns and I think that she is interested in selling some of her property across the highway for similar purposes. I really don’t think that the quality of Berry Petroleum and the financial impact that they are having on our county needs to minimize their importance here. Mr. Ostler stated that they had looked at several sites but this seemed to be a prime site for their needs. Mr. Ostler stated Uintah Basin Telephone was across the street and also that Mr. Lamb’s property about a mile down the road there is a huge mud company that does a lot of business with the oil companies. Mr. Ostler stated he does have some concerns and sympathy for the Warr families but I don’t have any empathy for those that just want to jump on the bandwagon.

Mr. Hyde asked Mr. Ostler if there has been a Title Report done on this property that indicates any of the claims presented here tonight by the Warr’s. Mr. Ostler stated he’d seen the title report done by Basin Land Title & Abstract in Roosevelt and he didn’t see anything indicating any restrictions or exclusion of any kind.

Jack Warr stated this entire thing is based on intent. We have a family farm there and it may not be in the best of shape but my brother and I have put in over a mile of waterlines to put it back into production and we don’t want an oilfield facility in the middle of it. Jack Warr stated the sale of this property was to be condoned by the heirs of Vaughn & Hazel Warr according to that document but the sale of that property took place without our knowledge of any kind.

Chairman Sweat asked if there were any questions or comments and reminded everyone to keep their comments to the point so that everyone could be heard. And also stated that the Board decision is based solely on the legality and whether or not the situation meets County Ordinance.

Commissioner Fabrizio asked Mr. Courtright if they had already purchased the property from Bernice Haueter? Mr. Courtright stated that they had not yet purchased the property and the sale is pending on the decision made here tonight.

Commissioner Brough asked Mr. Courtright what kind of traffic are you expecting? Mr. Courtright stated that at this time they have approximately 20 employees and most of the traffic would be from pumper trucks. Sometimes we have a safety meeting in the mornings around 6:30 a.m. and they would come again in the evenings to drop off some paperwork, but most of the time they go directly to the field. We have about 5 to 10 vendors per day and deliveries on pumping units and motors probably twice a month. Commissioner Brough stated then traffic would be here and there and not continual. Commissioner Brough asked if they would out grow their equipment yard and Mr. Courtright stated he didn’t think so that 5-acres was a lot of ground. Mr. Courtright stated he had the plans for the office building and that there would be 10 offices.

James Warr stated that to his understanding this was a new company and what would happen in the case of a resale. This is typical to the oil industry and if this company goes broke what will happen with the turnover to another company. And if the county allows this then the property will be damaged and won’t be good for anything else. So I just want to state again that I am totally against this.

Mr. Courtright stated that Berry Petroleum has been in business since 1904, so it isn’t a new company. We have gone from a $3 million company to a $1.5 billion company so I think we will be around for a long time.

Mr. Uresk stated he had glanced over the document that was presented to the commission by Mr. Warr but is unable to make a decision at this time because he needs to check into it a little better. Mr. Uresk stated that the document says that the sale of the property is prohibited but the warranty deed doesn’t have any such restriction on it. Mr. Ursek recommended that we recess this public hearing until a later date so that he will have time to review this matter further. Mr. Hyde stated the next meeting would be the 4th of May at 5:00 p.m. Mr. Hyde stated that we would need to have a motion to recess this hearing.

Commissioner Brough motioned to recess this hearing until the next scheduled meeting on May 4th. Commissioner Rather seconded the motion. It was voted a 3-3 tie with Commissioners Barneck, Fabrizio, and Peatross opposing.

Commissioner Barneck stated that the facts had been presented and if need be, the Commission could add another condition regarding the sale of the property and making sure of the legality before final approval. Mr. Uresk stated that if the property can’t be sold then there would be no need for a conditional use permit. Mr. Hyde stated that the private parties could have their own attorneys resolve this matter so the County Attorney won’t have to be involved. Commissioner Barneck asked Mr. Courtright if the title report was done or was it still in process. Mr. Courtright stated it had been done and Mr. Ostler stated that everything was in order and there was nothing in the report about the property not being able to be sold.

Mr. Hyde stated that he had potential wording for a condition 5 stating approval is subject to Berry Petroleum’s ability to acquire title to the property. If they can’t purchase the property then of course this request would be null and void.

Commissioner Barneck asked the people that signed the petition what was their reasoning for not wanting this? Mr. Warr stated that mostly traffic and they wanted to keep the solitude that was there.

Commissioner Brough stated that the traffic would be minimal because they would turn off Highway 40 onto 4000 South and into the parking lot.

Commissioner Barneck motioned that the Planning Commission adopt the findings and conclusions of the staff report and approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Berry Petroleum Company, subject to the following conditions:

1. Applicants shall submit a landscaping plan to the Community Development Administrator for review and approval prior to installation of landscaping.
2. Applicants shall screen the equipment storage area with sight-obscuring inserts in the chain link fence or vegetation or a combination thereof.
3. Applicants agree to apply dust inhibitors to the equipment yard surface as necessary to prevent dust from becoming a nuisance.
4. Applicants shall limit their access to the property to the two road approaches to 4000 South unless granted access to Highway 40 by the Utah Department of Transportation. If Highway 40 access is granted by UDOT, this permit is contingent upon compliance with the terms of said UDOT access permit.
5. Should the applicants be unable to acquire title to the property, the conditional use permit shall be null and void.


Commissioner Peatross seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Millstream Properties LLC, requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow a campground to be located North of Big Sand Wash reservoir, east of Highway 87, north of (and accessed through) Equestrian Estates Subdivision, between Upalco and Mt. Emmons.
Mr. Hyde stated the site was locally known as the late Ned Mitchell’s “Camp David.” The applicants propose a camping facility designed to accommodate 50 persons. A Conditional Use Permit is required for a campground use in the A-5, Agricultural-Residential zone. Mr. Mitchell and his crews have built these small lakes in this area. We are having this public meeting to determine how well a campground will fit into this area. Mr. Hyde stated in the agenda packet are the rules of the facility, maps showing how the facility is going to be laid out, along with the amenities that are going to be available to the visitors.

Mr. Hyde stated that the same 3 conditional use criteria, applies to this conditional use permit. Mr. Hyde highlighted sections of the staff report, which is on file.

Mr. Hyde stated that the county has received a letter from Jim and Kim Brown in opposition.

Commissioner Barneck asked that the entrance into the campground be gone over again just for clarification. Mr. Hyde stated visitors would turn off of Highway 87 then go through the Mitchell property. There has been some questions about this but there is been an easement or prescriptive easement. That should have been dedicated as right of way when Equestrain Estates was approved but apparently it was not however the precedence is there and so the applicants feel they have access here.

Commissioner Fabrizio asked about the water connection from Upper Country Water and if it was an existing line at this time. Mr. Hyde stated there are 2 connections there at this time one is to an existing cabin there and the other would be to a cabin that is under construction. Upper Country Water has stated this would be sufficient at this time for the proposed campground as an accessory line.

Mr. Danley stated these are not full time residency and will only be leased out during their operating months and as long as we aren’t going to be doing any extensive landscaping in keeping it look more natural the water district stated this would be sufficient at this time.

Mr. Uresk inquired about an employee living on the site between April and October and if so where would they be living. Mr. Danley stated there would be some employees there to check people in and out but that there wouldn’t be anyone there on a permanent basis. Mr. Uresk asked then what times would you have someone there to observe what is going on? Mr. Danley stated there would be someone on the premises any time that a party or parties would be booked at the facility. Mr. Uresk asked if their employees would be local residences? Mr. Danley stated that they already employ 8 local people. Chairman Sweat stated he had some concerns with security at the facility during the night hours to assure that the guests live up to the criteria that you have set up here. Mr. Danley stated it wasn’t our plans to have someone there in the middle of the night but if that’s a condition that needs to be made then we will consider that.

Commissioner Rather asked how do you feel this will affect the local residence between the campground and the west side of Sandwash Reservoir? Mr. Haacke stated that the impact would be to the south where most of the facility will be located. Mr. Haacke stated they have received five letters from neighbors that are in favor of this project and stated they have copies of those letters. Mr. Danley stated that most of the immediate neighbors were in favor of this proposal and they are Shane Shiner, Steven Evans, Charles Gray (owns most of the property to the immediate south), Jim Brady, and Tawna Mitchell.

Mr. Uresk stated in the report it talks about these roads in Equestrian Estates being the responsibility of the homeowners association and you are using that particular road as access to your property. There is a question now before the county commission whether or not this is going to be a county road or a private road within the homeowners association. Mr. Hyde has suggested that one of the conditions is that you participate in a share of the maintenance of that road. If it is determined that the road is going to be paved are you willing to put up your share of the payment? Mr. Danley stated we are more than willing, whatever the car count is to pave or gravel to maintain that road. We have an interest in that road being a quality road as much as anyone.

Chairman Sweat asked if there were any questions or comments in favor who would like to address the board.

Mr. Gray stated he was very much in favor and thought that it was a good thing for the area. He also stated that he owned property on both sides of the access road.

Darrin Brown from Tri-County Health Department stated there has been an application for a wastewater system and this has been approved by Tri-County Health Department. Campgrounds are not on-site wastewater systems, campgrounds are governed under Utah Administrative Rule or 392-300 and a campground must meet all of those requirements and they must submit plans to the health department and get approval of the campground besides the wastewater system, which is part of that approval. In that approval there are requirement agreements that need to be made like; drinking water, waste water, supervision, health and safety and that is why Tri-County Health needs to look at the plans to see if it meets Utah codes.

Gil Mitchell stated his family still owns the 40 acres to the east of where this proposed campground is going to be. And my feeling is and has been all along is that Equestrian Estates be turned into a gated community. It was gated at one time and we don’t want a lot of traffic through there but we have no objection to having this campground in our area.

Lynn Winterton with the Moon Lake Water Users Association who owns Sandwash Reservoir appeared. Our Board of Directors met last Wednesday night and discussed this. They don’t support or oppose this but they do have some concerns they want to have on record.

1. Originally, years ago we obtained a right of way for a winter bypass which goes down one side and through some of those ponds. If we have trouble on the canal on the lower end and it starts to flood and create problems we have the right from the original land owners to turn the water down through there while we fix the problem. So we don’t want this to be ignored and not remembered.
2. There are concerns with sanitation of the facility after it is enlarged. Part of that water will be used in residential areas in a secondary water system and we are quite certain that some of that water being run into a treatment plant eventually and will be drinking water.
3. The bottom 1200 acre foot of the reservoir is owned by the State as a fishery and we’ve had problems with a lot of people saying you can’t come on our land and fish, most of that area we own 5 foot elevation above the full water level. No one should be kicked off all the public should have access around the lake.
4. One question came up that we didn’t discuss and that was dam safety. All of these ponds are dams and I don’t know the process whether Ned Mitchell went through dam safety and got permission and built them under their regulations. We feel like dam safety as with all dams that the State should be allowed and invited to inspect the facilities and check them out to make sure that there’s no growth, no trees, nothing on there that will create a problem.

Moon Lake Water Users Association thinks that dam safety is a very big issue. Mr. Winterton left a copy of his notes. Mr. Hyde asked what agency would it be that regulates dam safety and Mr. Winterton stated it’s State Water Rights and they have a division called Dam Safety, and Mike Talbot would be the person to contact. Chairman Sweat made a comment if these are private dams built under private money the dam safety will only come out and inspect if invited, the State has no jurisdiction or no concern. Mr. Winterton stated the State does have jurisdiction if there is over 5 acre foot of water, it’s mandatory that they know about them and then they will determine whether they need to inspect them or not. Mr. Winterton stated Dave Marble is over the dam safety department.

Mr. Uresk stated to Mr. Winterton about the statement he made that public access is all the way around the reservoir, however the County has been in discussions with CUP, the State Park Services, and DWR. All the discussions are indicating that public access is going to be limited solely to the south side where the boat ramp is and there isn’t going to be any access or encourage people to go along the edge of the lake for any fishing purposes. So what you’re saying is quite on the contrary to what I’ve heard. Mr. Winterton stated that as far as access from outside that’s true but once the facility is finished we will be deeded all the ground the lake is sitting on and it will be owned privately by the Moon Lake Water Users. So the public will be able at any time access along the lake anywhere below the high water level line. Mr. Uresk asked does this include wheeled vehicles? Mr. Winterton stated that the water association has never prohibited this in the past but was uncertain at this time.

Tawna Mitchell stated she owns property by the proposed campground and she is in favor of having this here. She feels that Millstream is trying to address all of the issues that are a problem. Millstream is willing to have people monitor theirs, they will know who is making reservations and accepting clean-up proposals. She also stated that CUP is condemning around the perimeter of the lake and Kurt Beecher took me himself and showed me where Duchesne County wants to make a parking lot on the land they are condemning and taking away from me, to give access to the north and the entire west side of the lake. Ms. Mitchell stated as property owners we should be more concerned with what is going on around the perimeter of Sandwash Reservoir and not what Millstream is trying to do because their activities will be monitored.

Chairman Sweat asked for comments from anyone in favor or neutral. He then turned it over to those against.

Jim Brown stated that he has a home in Equestrain Estates and lives there part-time. When Kim and I bought out here it was zoned agricultural-residential, it is 5 acre plots of land around the lake and it is a nice place for us to go and get away from things. Mr. Brown read into the record a letter from him and his wife dated March 29, 2005. He felt that the facility at the south end of the lake would be appropriate because it will be controlled by the State and he feels everyone should be like him and have to drive around to the south end to have access to the lake. One of his main concerns would be the excess of garbage around the lake and who would cleaning-up this mess, so I am thinking this is going to be very detrimental to the area and will have a big impact on the property valves in this area. Policing in this area is a huge concern, he said that if you live in Equestrian Estates and you call the police maybe they will show up tomorrow. We are strongly against having access through our subdivision to this proposed campground because of traffic, dust, etc. at this time the property owners are taking care of this road. Last year I called the county at least a hundred times and was informed under no circumstances will the county do anything on the roads in this area for at least 4 years so that is why we don’t need the added traffic. Commissioner Barneck asked Mr. Brown where his property was located and Mr. Brown stated he owns Lots 23A and 23B.

Cindy Barton-Coombs stated she owns Lot 1 and is very much opposed to a campground. There is already a huge dust problem and she feels that it will even get bigger with the unlimited traffic that will be traveling through this area. She also has a great concern with the fire protection, at this time the closest fire hydrant is on the corner of Highway 87 and 250 North so the campground will be about 2 miles away and if a fire occurs there is nothing to stop it from jeopardizing our homes. Another concern would be in regards to the traffic and the small children in the area.

Kim Brown stated that she would like to know if there is another camping facility like this in Duchesne County and what the impact there was with the surrounding area. Her concerns are with sanitation and safety.

Conway Geertsen stated that maybe not the car and truck traffic but what about the ATV’s, motorcycles who will be there patrolling to keep them out of our community and the vandalism down. His concerns are with the property value of his place and the other properties in the area.

John and Celcilia Thompson own Lot 2 and are questioning plans stating that it would be a facility for 50 people. Mr. Thompson stated that 1 cabin has accommodations for 22 people and the 2nd cabin will have accommodations for 15 people and then there is accommodation for 50 people in the campground and all of these people will be traveling through Equestrian Estates. So I am opposed.

Comments from Carol Geertsen, Andrea Bennett, Venda Mitchell, and Rusty Goode were also received. The signs giving directions to the campground need to be more informative, if it just says Six Lakes and doesn’t state anything about campground, camping, boating etc. more traffic will be entering to see what this place is all about. Mrs. Bennett’s big concern was with the children’s safety getting on and off school bus. In the summer time they have no idea who these people are that will be using this facility and their children are exposed while riding their bikes and just playing outside. Chairman Sweat asked how many children are living in Equestrain Estates and the answer was 7 at this time.

As there was no additional opposition testimony, Chairman Sweat called for rebuttal.

Mr. Danley stated there would never be more than 50 people on the site at one time. There are going to be 5 small pavilions, the property is going to be gated and fenced at all times and there will be a list of rules that everyone will have to abide by or they will be asked to leave. There is a list of general terms and conditions that will be signed by guests wanting to use the facility. This facility will be by reservation only it is not like a KOA campground where you can just come and go as you wish. Mr. Danley stated there will be no access to the lake from the campground. Guests will have to access at the south end of the lake like everyone else.

Mr. Brown wondered why there will be no zone changes or why a commercial business is able to exist in a residential area. Commissioner Peatross stated this is not a rezoning issue, it is a request for a Conditional Use Permit and so a rezoning is not necessary.

Commissioners stated that they had some concerns with the maintenance of the roads in the area and why should the residents maintain their own roads. If Millstream is using this as an access then they should be willing to help in the maintenance of the roads such as gravel or paving. They also thought that there needs to be a camp manager on duty at all times to be able to deal with problems that may come up and to see that all the rules and regulations are followed at all times.

Mr. Bennett stated that the sign entering the facility should say “Private Property No Lake Access”.

Commissioner Peatross motioned that the Planning Commission adopt the findings and conclusions of the staff report and approve the Conditional Use Permit requested by Millstream Properties, subject to the following conditions:

1. The applicant is required to participate in a fair share of future access road maintenance costs. If cost apportionment cannot be resolved by the property owners in Equestrian Estates and the applicant the Duchesne County Community Development Director will determine the fair share (or the Duchesne County Commission on appeal). A road maintenance agreement between the applicants and representatives of the Equestrian Estates Subdivision shall be provided to the County prior to the campground opening for business.
2. Prior to start of construction, the applicant shall provide the County with evidence of a Tri-County Health Department Wastewater Permit having been issued.
3. Prior to start of construction, the applicants shall finalize their water system plans and receive Tri-County Health Department approval (if necessary). Applicant shall also comply with Tri-County Health Department campground regulations.
4. Applicant shall construct fire pits to a standard approved by the Duchesne County Fire and Emergency Management Office.
5. Prior to occupancy, applicant shall provide the County with a copy of final campground rules; said rules to include provisions for noise control, fire pit use, speed limits, OHV use, etc…
6. Applicant shall provide dust control on access road and parking lot surfaces as necessary to prevent nuisance dust conditions.
7. Applicant shall obtain approval of the six dams on the property from the state agency responsible for dam safety, prior to opening the campground for business.
8. Applicant shall install directional signage at the east end of 250 North in Equestrian Estates to direct campground clients to turn left.
9. Applicant shall install signage on or near their Highway 87 sign advising the public that there is no public access to the Big Sand Wash Reservoir through Six Lakes or 250 North.
10. Applicant shall install signage along the campground access route to advise the public to drive slowly (signage wording and location(s) to be coordinated with Equestrian Estates property owners).
