As the applicant has shown you, he has already obtained a permit from CDOT for this business. However, his access is not constructed according to the dimensions shown on his permit and on his site plan, and his permit not in good standing with CDOT. His permit calls for a 25 foot wide driveway with 20 foot radius. Currently, Mr. Balderas has a 40 foot wide driveway with very little radius. Additionally, instead of using fill dirt or roadbase to cross the barrow ditch between his chain link fence and the highway, small flat stones were piled on top of each other, which has created a wall- like structure and a safety hazard. Mr. Balderas contends that our retired Access Inspector gave permission for the access to be constructed in such a way, but we can find no records here of that blessing. The onus is on Mr. Balderas to prove our inspector did give permission for this access configuration. In our last conversation Mr. Balderas thought he had something in writing from CDOT giving him that permission, which he was going to provide to CDOT. I am still waiting on that documentation. As such, CDOT requests you put Mr. Balderas' county process on hold until his issues with CDOT are resolved, either with him producing prior written permission or him reconfiguring his driveway. Thank you and give me a call if you have any questions, Tim Bilobran CDOT Region 4 Assistant Access Manager, Utility Permits, and Outdoor Advertising Office- (970) 350-2163 Mobile- (970) 302-4022 Fax- (970) 350-2207 Timothy.Bilobran@dot.state.co.us 4/16/2009 Hello
