other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
WCR 49 is an arterial road, which requires a 140-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.
WCR 46 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.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Utilize the existing access to the site from WCR 49.
2. 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

than grasses, needs to be maintained at a maximum height of 12 inches until the area is
completely developed.
3. The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a manner that
it will reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent property damage of the
type generally attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases, diversions, concentration and/or
unplanned ponding of storm run-off.

Dear Mr. Parko:
Please consider this document a letter of support for Bigfoot Turf Farm/Mr. Greg Johnson's "Use-by-
Special Review permit for the baseball field located at 22455 W.C.R. 49, LaSalle, Colorado. As you are
aware, Weld RE-1 has been working with Mr. Johnson to relocate the Valley High School baseball
iiirogram to the field beginning the end of February 2011. The baseball season is March through May.
oaches and athletes are excited about the opportunity to play on such a quality field. The school district
will provide mandatory transportation for athletes to and from the field for practice and games. This effort
will reduce the potential for additional traffic on County Road 49. In addition, the school district is
planning to access the property using an ancillary road from County Road 44. It is expected that spectators
and fans will also use this ancillary road. Mr. Johnson is not charging the school district to use the field
and there is no expectation of payment. Mr. Johnson has stated that he "simply wants the field used by
kids." Eventually, the school district hopes to build its own field near the high school in Gilcrest. Until
then, the opportunity to play on a field such as the one at Bigfoot Turf Farm is a"dream come true" for our
athletes.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance in Mr. Johnson's request/permit or if you have
any questions, 737-2403.
Sincerely,
knc-
Dr. Barbie
