Dear Applicants: • I have scheduled a meeting with the Weld County Planning Commission on September 7, 2010, at 1:30 p.m. This meeting will take place in the Hearing Room, Weld County Planning Department, 918 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado. A subsequent hearing wilt be held on September 22, 2010 at 10:00 a.m., in the Chambers of the Board of County Commissioners, Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10111 Street, First Floor, Greeley, Colorado. It is recommended that you and/or a representative be in attendance to answer any questions the Planning Commission members or Board of County Commissioners may have. Colorado Revised Statute, C.R.S.24-65.5-103 (adopted as part of H.B.01-1088) requires notification of all mineral estate owners 30 days prior to any public hearing. The applicant needs to provide the Weld County Planning Department with written certification indicating the above requirement has been met. A representative from the Department of Planning Services will be out to the property a minimum of ten days prior to the hearing to post a sign adjacent to and visible from a publicly maintained road right-of-way which identifies the hearing time, date, and location. In the event the property is not adjacent to a publicly maintained road right-of-way, one sign will be posted in the most prominent place on the property and a second sign posted at the point at which the driveway(access drive) intersects a publicly maintained road right-of-way. The Department of Planning Services' staff will make a recommendation concerning this application to the Weld County Planning Commission and will be included in the staff report one week prior to the scheduled Planning Commission hearing.

He disagrees, and believes that the detour is a preferred solution, although none of the proposed solutions are good ones.

There are no agreements to realign and improve the frontage road (other than a condition in the prison's CDOT access permit that would apply to the next phase), only preliminary discussions with the county and negotiations with the former prison operator. There are no agreements in place to improve the road, nor a schedule for any improvements. Is the applicant contributing to the road improvements or paying for road damage? We have never had a discussion of this since it only came to our attention last week. CR12.5 EXHIBIT td t he To 's 10 wted bt aze trafficwn and traffic thAvenue to and fromand theHickory otherStreet businessesillbe impacted as a resulto ofh the corn1 5 proposed detour. None of these streets are designed for this type of traffic. And the CR12.5/Hwy 52 intersection is inadequate, in my opinion, for heavy traffic, even for short periods of time. It is on a curve with no lighting and intersecting 65 mph traffic. Se did not receive an IGA referral for annexation from the County, only the USR referral for comment. Mr. Willard has never petitioned for annexation. I did not believe that use of the site for a corn maze, without any physical improvements to the property, in itself should require annexation. However, if there was to be any physical development on the site, that would invoke the IGA terms. We were told that there was nothing proposed that would require building permits. If is any development proposed, then the applicant should be referred for annexation per the IGA as the County has done in the past on other sites. Sparboe and the prison may have been advised of the corn maze. But the road closure was only a recent surprise that came up late last week, AFTER the referrals. (I don't know if the gas plant was ever notified.) As I indicated before, these businesses should represent their own concerns. I just want to be sure that they are in the loop. Gloria at CDOT told me that she did email referral comments back to the County during the referral period. I understand that the corn maze is only open for a part of the year. But that does not negate the need for reasonable mitigation to avoid unsafe conditions during those days of operation. Hopefully the meeting on the 17th will yield some reasonable solutions. Oe Town's primary concern from the beginning has been traffic impact. I appreciate being included in the meeting on the 17th. Please let me know if you have questions.

I copied her on this email, Joe, I don't know what to tell you other than Sparboe and the Prison have been copied on all correspondence and they have not responded with any comments (for or against). Most of the issues below are between Hudson and CDOT, e.g. closure "the frontage road, new intersection at CR 12.5 and SH 52, traffic control rsonnel, etc. We have not received a formal referral from CDOT, but I believe you have discussed the concerns and understand the issues with meetings you had with both Larry and Gloria. The corn maze is open for only 2 30 days between July and October and it is my understanding the CR 12.5 will be improved with off-site funds from the prison and a $100K contribution from the County. I believe that the County has kept the Town of Hudson Wpraised on this project from the beginning and that Hudson had the portunity to annex the property following a notice of inquiry per the IGA. I am confident that the meeting on the 17th will help clear the air. If you have any further question in the meantime please feel free to contact me.

Any closure of the frontage 4oad will divert traffic onto a combination of gravel county and town eets. The new proposed intersection for this traffic at Highway 52 is at R12.5, an intersection that is on a curve with incoming 65 mph traffic, as opposed to the 25/35 mph traffic at the current frontage road intersection. And the approximately 3/4 miles of CR12.5/10th Avenue is a little-used section of gravel washboard that is not suited to high levels of traffic, even for short periods of time. And there was no discussion of the concerns expressed by the Town at the county planning hearing. I spoke with Larry Haas from CDOT today. While he agrees that there does not seem to be a good solution, but he believes that directing traffic to the CR12.5/Hwy 52 intersection is preferable to the current frontage road intersection. Neither Larry nor I are sure what Janet Carter meant by a "soft" closure that I was told she mentioned at the County planning hearing last Tuesday. We are certainly dealing with an unknown set of circumstances, but I believe that there is potential for serious problems, not to mention impacts on other established businesses that will have their access diverted. I'm not in a position, however, to speak for those businesses. I only hope that the correctional facility, Sparboe Farms and the gas plant folks have been consulted. didn't hear about the proposed frontage road closure until the Thursday fore Labor Day Weekend, and the County Planning Commission approved the permit the Tuesday following Labor day. Hardly enough time for us to react. And 1 understand that earlier proposals to have traffic control personnel, a 3 specific recommendation of the Town, have been changed, again without consultation with the Town. The applicant has indicated that he is not happy about the proposed traffic diversion, but that they do not have the sources to implement a proper solution. I presented an update to the Town Planning Commission yesterday in view of the fact that representations at the time of the earlier meeting to consider the county referral have been changed. The Commission asked that I discuss this with the Board of Trustees at next week's meeting and prepare written comments from both boards for the County Commissioners. We are still available to discuss alternative approaches to this difficult traffic problem if the County will consider Town concerns. Thanks.

Based upon information provided in that meeting, we determined that the best access for the site will be at this intersection and the intersection of the frontage road and SH 52 would be closed during his events. But only during the events. Hopefully you can visualize what we've requested. The section of roadway from SH 52 and the frontage road to the connection of 12.5 to the frontage road will be barricaded off at the beginning and end of each "session". Mr. Ostrand will provide us a traffic control plan which we would be happy to share with the Town. That plan must be approved by us. As for Mr. Ostrand's direct connection to the frontage road, he has proposed a route that's acceptable to CDOT and in fact, connects to our frontage road. Apparently, another route was discussed between the Town and the maze, which would not connect to our facility but rather CR 47. CDOT would have no say in that access. It's my personal opinion that the numbers being proposed by the maze are very high, especially in the first year of operation. With that in mind, CDOT has agreed to these items while making it clear to Mr. Ostrand that should traffic issues develop, CDOT would and could ask for additional traffic mitigation items.

The section of roadway from SH 52 and the frontage road to the connection of 12.5 to the frontage road will be barricaded off at the beginning and end of each "session". Mr. Ostrand will provide us a traffic control plan which we would be happy to share with the Town. That plan must be approved by us. As for Mr. Ostrand's direct connection to the frontage road, he has proposed a route that's acceptable to CDOT and in fact, connects to our frontage road. Apparently, another route was discussed between the Town and the faze, which would not connect to our facility but rather CR 47. CDOT would have no say in that access. 1 It's my personal opinion that the numbers being proposed by the maze are very high, especially in the first year of operation. With that in mind, CDOT has agreed to these items while making it clear to Mr. Ostrand that should traffic issues develop, CDOT would and could ask for additional traffic mitigation items. 4,you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

United Rental has set up to bring additional units to the site as needed & even on emergency demand. However I don't want to have a cap on our maximum limit of people at 3000. I would like to have it possible to accommodate for people up to around 8-10 thousand if it is possible. Being our first year I don't think that's very realistic, but since we have parking to accommodate for upwards of 30,000 people (100+ acres, 115 vehicles/acre, 2.7 ppl/vehicle) for astronomical years to come, I just don't want to put too much of a restriction on our possibilities in the future. If we could have a maximum limit similar to the other corn mazes at around 10,000/day, I think that work certainly work for several years to come. In the event that we have a concert event or something similar that may exceed that 10,000 limit for one day we can submit additional info at that time. Many of the proposed activities will not be taking place initially, but we would like to have them in years to come.

The process for changing that permit is too lengthy of a process to work this year. We will be purchasing all needed bulk water used for dust suppression from A&W Water Service. .'e are having 12 portable restroom units delivered prior to our fall season start date & we have the option of adding as many units added in the event that attendance goes beyond our estimations. I believe that all other recommendations are being met in our current plans, but I wanted to especially note the hand washing station located near the animal petting area is currently in our plans. We will have a hand washing station (soap & water, not sanitizer) located by the animal petting area that United Site Services is providing & servicing on a weekly schedule along with the restroom units.

That is a colaboration effort of a private traffic control company & CDOT who determined our solution to handle the traffic volume. I don't want to be asking for favors from anybody, but I sure don't want to have to abide by a different set of rules than what other (much more established) operations have to go by. •derson's, Fritzler's & Miller Farms have traffic backed up &jambing up Hwy 52, Hwy 85 & Hwy 66 anytime they are busy, but they don't have any requirements to have traffic control at a rate of$300/hr.

It is possible through a few different avenues of protcol so that we're not breaking any laws. For instance we can use water that has already been allocated to the well from Central Colorado Conservation District, if it is not used for crop irrigation, or if we were to purchase additional water shares for that well. Due to the timing of the USR & time needed for completing that water permit through the state, we have decided to use A&W Water Service as a location to purchase the water needed for dust control. We will utilize their well location on SH 52 west of Ft Lupton. We currently have a water truck that we can use for transport & application.

However, as part of a recent application for expansion of the Hudson Correctional Facility a traffic study, including existing traffic counts was prepared by the applicant. The analysis found that there was 450 ADT along the 1-76 Frontage Road. (The entire study is attached). There are virtually no land uses along the frontage road between State Highway 52 and the intersection with Oak Street that would contribute to the traffic volume.

I am asking for your direction as to what we should do (if anything)to approach this change in location. -Leave the change alone, due to timing of all that we are trying to get pushed through the county departments? -If the 'actual' parking differs from the site map, will it constitute a problem with county departments during our operating duration? -Get through this year on the existing location & amend a change for next year?

The only thing is we are continually bringing large trucks, semis, large implements, etc in/out of the property on a day to day basis with our 'year round operation', so I would not want to permanently relocate the access point. It would be virtually impossible to route our heavy equipment through the changed access with the turns involved. I don't think light passenger car traffic for the temporary event would be a concern though. Would it be feasible to route exiting traffic over to the 'revised access' location via traffic cones, which would route them to the location of our stop sign that public works is requiring?

One of those concerns is the access roadway configuration into the site. The existing obtuse angle of the intersection of the I-76 Frontage Road and Oak Street and Corn Maze access is viewed as a difficult and potentially dangerous intersection. The town would like you to consider requesting the relocation of the access road into the site.

We have spent some time reviewing and discussing the project and have reached a decision. The County does support the project as the realignment will improve the long term impacts to the local transportation system and we understand the safety and congestion issues that the numerous accesses onto SH 52 brings to the road system. Minimizing the access points should help reduce future accidents. We would agree that the existing WCR 12.5 access, west of WCR 43 should be vacated when this project is constructed and we will support this closure. The County is in favor of local development and firmly believes that development should help pay for needed improvements that they bring to the road systems. We understand some of these improvements are being • supported by the new Love's store and commend the Town for requiring their developers to pay for these improvements. The existing WCR 12.5, between WCR 43 and the CDOT Frontage Road, is currently very functional and adequate for the current level of traffic. By removing the frontage road and forcing that traffic onto WCR 12.5, it will no longer function as a standard County gravel roadway but will become the new frontage road. In the spirit of cooperation, the County is willing to help the Town make this change by contributing $100,000 towards the project. By accepting the contribution, the Town agrees to annex this portion of WCR 12.5 before beginning the project and agrees to perform the necessary design, management,and construction of the project. PW will try to assist, when requested by the Town,to help facilitate the revised intersection improvements to WCR 43 and Hickory St., ROW vacation, and possible utility conflicts. Please confirm the Town's desire to proceed, as we will need to make budget adjustments to include this contribution in the 2011 budget and develop an Intergovernmental Agreement.

First is the new sewer line that we hope to have under construction this fall. It would obviously be easier for us to have the ROW for the entire route of the line, including the pieces of 12.5 and the frontage road north of 12.5. Second is the frontage road realignment. The realignment is dependent partly on the timing of the second phase of the prison. That is unknown at this time. However,the frontage road should be realigned regardless of the prison's plans, so it will be dependent on when the three parties(town, county and CDOT) come together on the plan of action. The second phase of the prison will trigger CDOT's requirement to realign the frontage road. But,there is a safety problem today that should be addressed sooner rather than later. So, if the second phase of the prison does not move forward, I would still suggest getting the project done in late 2011 to mid 2012. Love's is on board with the project and will pay the costs associated with modifying their accesses to accommodate the new road configuration. The project will benefit the prison, Sparboe Farms,Willard and other property owners who depend on the frontage road for access. Having a continuous, paved access that terminates at a proper intersection on Highway 52 is both a safety and economic development concern. Let me know if you need anything else.

CDOT has indicated that if the Town is to take over the frontage road, they would prefer us to do the work. It might make sense, if we are to annex and take over the section of 12.5, that it be included in the overall project, designed and managed by the Town. In that case we would simply do an IGA, specifying the County's contribution to the effort. I'm also interested in your thoughts about abandoning the piece of 12.5 west of Hickory (43.5).

Landing pad location will be located in the field to the west of the large hay barn: west of the overflow parking & south of the corn maze. Away from the hulk of foot traffic around the grounds. **Will be indicated on the final revised plat drawing of property. Water hydrants are not depicted on the plat where does this occur? 5/8" Water Hydrants will be indicated on the final revised plat drawing of the property. The 100 x 100 foot medical emergency/triage area not identified on plat Unsure of exact request, but I will indicate a location where emergency medical/fire/rescue can have an unobstructed 100x100 100 ft area to perform emergency operations. Signs for the facility will be on two trailers, no tractor, located where? Any other signs? Semi van trailers (no •actors) along 1-76 Frontage on event property. Signs & banners will be placed on the property. but not along 76. Small signs will be placed at the entrance to property off of the Frontage Rd & along the Frontage Rd from the property to SI I 52 for directional traffic flow during operation hours. To help improve the flow of traffic & indicate locations to turn& enter. The trailers will be illuminated? With what type of lamp? What is the electric source/ Trailers will be temporarily lit with a fixed halogen type light. Electric source will be temporary extension cord. The advertising trailers only be placed for a short time period. Provide evidence of COOT approval for any signs, flags, banners et cetera within their public right-of-way Please refer to email sent by Tim Bilobran referencing the 4 requests below: 1. Kyle intends to place a sign advertising his corn maze on the property where the corn maze will be located. 2. The sign will be the approximate size of a trailer. 3. The sign will not contain any electronic or moving components. 4. The sign will be lit from a separate light source. • Also speak with them on lighting from concert stage Lighting from stage will now be directed away from the highway so this will not be an issue. 3 011 temporary structures will require building permits. See Frank or Ken if next week Only permanent structure will be recently proposed observation tower(have already spoke 1%ith building dept on this structure). Other temporary structures (shed for admission gate, flatbed trailer for stage & feed storage harrier fbr a platform) that will be used are mobile & have other uses during the 'non-event' time of the year. ****Will Weld County still require building permits on such creative uses of existing structures?'? You have identified several activities for the Corn Maze and Fall Festival, you may want to start putting together a masterplan for the areas that each activity would occur. ,probably best to enlarge "Activities Area" I will generate an additional plat page on our final revised plat drawing that indicates activity locations within the activities area. Given the location of the parking area, how will you restrict the activity area from encroaching into the parking area? The parking area& activities area will be separated by a temporary (plastic snow fence) harrier • Thank you very much for your assistance & involvement in helping push our USR Application through the processes. I very much appreciate your help & hope that I am being cooperative to all county requests for structured protocol. That's all for now. Hope you are having a good weekend.

He indicated that he was trying to have the permit expedited so that they could be in business this fall. If you can get a referral to me by August 6, I can get it on the Planning Commission for the 11th and get you feedback immediately thereafter. Our biggest concern will be traffic and access, especially the intersection of the frontage road and Hwy 52. (I assume CDOT has reviewed this.) Kyle is sending me a copy of their traffic study.

They stated that the permit should typically designate such activity to be allowed, but periodic dust control use on the owner's property would be acceptable. I made them aware of the fact that we wilt be holding a corn maze this fall&they said that using water from the irrigation well (permit#11725-F),on the 1/2 mile driveway would not be a concern. I am currently seeking a traffic engineer to compile a traffic study. Once I have that information I will submit it immediately with our application fee. Thank you for the information.
