Dear Weld County Commissioners,
We,the property owners on Weld County Road 33.directly surrounding C&H Excavation at 41450 CR 33 would like
to express the following community concerns about the multiple businesses being operated out of the buildings there. The
homes and area surrounding this property are residential and agricultural in nature and do not facilitate daily ongoing industrial
production of metal products,equipment and supplies. While we recognize the asset that such a thriving business represents to
our county, we strongly believe that explosive growth of this business has zero compatibility with the rural residential
agricultural properties that are within 1/8th of a mile or closer to this facility as it is operating currently.
Since this company moved in during January of 2011,it has grown from a small operation of 2 to 5 employees and a
secretary to an industrial facility of more than one company that poses the following concerns:
• Employees(between 10 to 20)arrive between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m.causing significant traffic and noise
disruption. There are as many as 30 or more people at,entering or leaving this property throughout
the day and evening Monday through Friday.
• Workers routinely work on the west side of the property(outside of the buildings)creating ongoing
and loud metalworking disruption from 6:00 a.m, to as late as 10:00 p.m. Equipment beeping,
grinding,banging metal,loud music and vehicular noise can be heard as far away as a''A mile or more.
• Cutting torches and other open flame are being used within 35 to 40 feet from a 15' tall hay bale
"fence"that is a quarter mile long and within 50 feet of a residential home and this creates a negligent
fire hazard for the homes directly west and north of this facility.
• Vehicles working, using or visiting this business (averaging 20-40 per day)routinely drive in the
driveway of the home at 41430 CR 33,directly west of this business creating a safety hazard for the
child at this home and/or any other minors visiting this property who may wish to be in the yard of
their own property.
• Semi traffic(on average 4 or more per day and as many as 7 or 8 per day including C&H company
trucks with flatbed trailers)create a significant amount of noise and dust.
• Establishment of this business without the proper permits or zoning(electrical and so forth)
• 100's of tanks of various compressed gasses within 60 feet of a residential property
All of us as neighbors have addressed these issues as well other concerns that the sheer number of people and vehicle
traffic creates a large disruption to the families living their lives within a 1/8'h mile range of this business. Promises made by
Mr. Simpson to erect private drive signage,to decrease disruption and traffic on the west side of the property behind the
residential home,to ensure road maintenance to minimize dust(mag chloride application)and to minimize noise as much as
possible have not been kept. If anything,all of these concerns are rapidly escalating and have deeply affected the quality of
life,especially to the homeowners at 41430 CR 33 directly west of this location. After discussing these concerns with Mr.and
Mrs.Van Beber on July 10`",2012,they were told in essence that he can't make everyone happy and that we were just"beating
a dead horse." He explained that he could strip the metal off the buildings,paint them bright green and just walk away,leaving
the area worse off than before if need be.
We would ask that Mr. Simpson and the Weld County Commissioners take into consideration how deeply this
industrial endeavor and its noise,traffic and large employee base has affected the homeowners in this area. Our quality-of-life
since this business'growth has suffered due to no fault of our own and we ask that these issues be addressed immediately.
Sincerely,
Dustin and Sandra Winter * Steve and Patsy Deines * Jeff and Tonya Van Beber
