COMMENTS: Weld County Functional Classification Map: (Revised Feb. 9, 2011 —Amended 10/2011) CR 25.5 is a local gravel road and requires a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Zoning (23-1-90), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Weld County Public Works has no average daily traffic count at this location. • REQUIREMENTS: Access improvements are required and shall include 60-foot radius to accommodate turning trucks and double cattle guard across the access to prevent the tracking of mud or debris on to the County roadway. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for this site.

Off-street parking spaces including the access drive shall be surfaced with gravel, asphalt, concrete or the equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. Each parking space shall be equipped with wheel guards or curb blocks when necessary to prevent vehicles from extending beyond the boundary of the space and from coming into contact with other vehicles, walls, fences or plantings. Pursuant to Chapter 15, Articles I and II of the Weld County Code, if noxious weeds exist on the property or become established as a result of the proposed development, the applicant/landowner shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds. All vegetation, other than grasses, needs to be maintained at a maximum height of 12 inches until the area is completely developed. • M:\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\-2012 Planning Referrals\USR12\USR12-0019 C&M Rodriguez Services\USR12-0019.docx • Grading Permit: If more than one acre is to be disturbed, a Grading Permit will be required prior to the start of construction.

An engineer designed commercial sewage disposal system will be installed for the proposed office and shop building. The applicant has submitted an application to the Colorado Division of Water Resources for a commercial well permit. The area is served • by Central Weld County Water District. The applicant submitted a letter from the District, dated March 13, 2012, indicating that they do not oppose the installation of any water well to serve land that is within their service area, as long as there is no direct impact from drilling of the well on the distribution of water from the District's water distribution system. The applicant submitted a dust abatement plan. Access drives and parking areas will be covered in gravel or road base, vehicles speeds will be controlled to minimize dust, and water or magnesium chloride will be applied to mitigate dust. Water will be supplied by an offsite source. The waste handling plan indicates that a dumpster will be provided and serviced by B&C Refuse of Platteville. According to the application, vehicle maintenance and repairs are not anticipated to be done on site, but if necessary, waste oils and antifreeze will be hauled offsite for recycling or disposal. In addition, shop floor drains will drain to a watertight vault. The applicant needs to include in the waste handling plan a list of wastes expected to be generated from maintenance and repair of the vehicles and equipment, including waste oils, antifreeze, batteries, scrap metal, tires and other scrap parts. In addition, the names, addresses and phone numbers of the waste handlers and disposal sites need to be provided.

Director Chris Gathman Weld County Planning Services Transmission via email: cgathman@co.weld.co.us RE: Quanah Cattle Company, LLC USR 12-0016, Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Part of the E1/2 of Section 28, T5N R64W Water Division 1, Water District 1 Dear Mr. Gathman: This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28- 101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. • According to the submitted information, the proposal is use by special review and a site specific development plan for about 80 acres. Historically, the parcel was a poultry farm and the proposal is to convert it to a 15,000 head calf facility for raising dairy calves. The proposal includes equipment storage and maintenance and on-site employee housing. The proposal notes that the water supply will be provided by an existing water tap from CWCWD. There are two existing well permits on the property that were issued in the early 1960s. If the wells are still in existence and have been used within the last 10 years, the wells can continue to be used in compliance with the well permit conditions as follows: • 13914 — livestock use, located in the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 28. This well is limited to the watering of livestock on farms and ranches. Such wells cannot be used for the purposes of watering livestock within the proposed feedlot, as currently permitted. • 18692—domestic use, located in the SE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 28. A replacement well permit was issued for this well in 2003. However, no well completion information was ever submitted, and this office considers the replacement well permit expired. We have no objection to the subject proposal. Should you have any questions, please contact Tracy Kosloff of this office. Sin erely, Joan a William , P.E.

SES—traffic volumes proposed by this development do not appear to significantly impact US 85. 2. C&M—traffic volumes for this development are not high but they do appear to be high enough to impact the intersections of WCR 22.5 and WCR 24.5. They are at the cusp of triggering the need for new access permits,however,if the county can restrict their volumes as reported,then we won't require permits at this time.
