" RECITALS A. Declarant is the owner of that certain real property legally described in Exhibit "A" which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The entire parcel described in Exhibit "A" is hereinafter called "the property. " B. Several years prior to the date hereof , portions of the property were open pit mined for gravel deposits. Some time subsequent to completion of gravel mining, the portions of the property which were mined were filled with trash while the property was operated as a designated sanitary landfill . C. In late 1980 , the portions of the property which were used as a sanitary landfill were completely filled and covered with a porous overburden and the landfill was closed in com- pliance with regulations of the State of Colorado and Weld County. D. Declarant is aware that the property poses special difficulties with regard to future use and development. Any improvements constructed on or under the property will have to be designed and constructed to allow for potential surface subsidence and venting of gases (primarily methane) which may form in the subsurface. E. Declarant intends hereby to give notice to future owners and users of the property of the facts recited herein and to impose certain restrictions on the future development of the property so that anyone who desires to construct improve- ments thereon will design and construct such improvements in such a manner that gas and subsidence conditions will be pro- vided for. NOW, THEREFORE, Declarant does hereby give notice of the matters recited above and does impose the following restric- tion as covenants which shall run with and be a burden upon the property. 1. The foregoing recitals are incorporated herein as if set forth at length. 2. No owner, lessee, permittee or licensee shall cause improvements to be placed in, or under the property without first submitting an application for a building permit to the county or municipality having jurisdiction. Such permit application shall be accompanied by a certificate from a registered professional engineer certifying that the construc- tion or development plans include allowances for subsidence and underground gas and shall detail what those allowances are. 3. Upon receipt of the building permit application and engineer' s certificate, the governmental agency having juris- diction may refer the application to other appropriate govern- mental agencies for review and comment and may withhold issuance of a building permit until it is reasonably satisfied that appropriate provisions have been made in the plans with respect to subsidence and gas conditions at the site. A decision of the building authority to withhold issuance of a permit or impose conditions unacceptable to the applicant may be appealed according to the appeal process in the building code then applicable; or, if none, to the Board of County Commissioners or City Council having jurisdiction. 1667135 BOOK 945 RECEPTION 3... --- 4 . The foregoing covenants and restrictions shall be enforceable by any owner of any portion of the property, by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado and by the City Council of any municipality to which the property might hereafter be annexed.

Due to the likeness of the parcels and the requests these items were considered, for discussion purposes, together. The hearing of April 22, 1981 was continued until today to allow time for a member of the State Health Department to be contacted and request that a representative be present today to testify regarding the methane gas problems. Mr. Orville Stoddard, Sr. Public Health Engineer for the Radiation and Hazardous Waste Control Division of the State Health Dept. was present and presented a letter to the Board which discussed the various aspects of methane gas, requirements by the State and factors for the Board to consider when making a determination regarding these COZ ' s.

The applicants, John Houtchens, legal counsel for Colorado Landfill, and Vern Nelson, engineering consultant, were present and participated in the discussions. Commissioner Kirby raised the question as to whether the Board had the authority to place conditions for development on a COZ . After research and discussion the County Attorney stated that section 81 . 6 . 2. 5 . 4 of the Zoning Resolution would apply and the Board could place development restrictions on these two COZ ' s in relationship to the methane gas and subsidance.

Kirby, Chairman weld County Board of Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Kirby: Mr. Ron Stowe, of the Weld County Health Department, requested comments from this Department, concerning a request for a zoning change that would allow construction on a completed landfill site. The site in question is the Fort Lupton-Brighton site. This is an assessment of site conditions based upon site inspections during its operation. This Department does hot have an "engineering report and operation plan" of record for this site as it was in operation prior to 1972. The following factors must be considered in any planned land use of this site or property in the vicinity of this site: Groundwater The bottom of the landfill is below the high groundwater table. There are no impervious barriers at the perimeter to divert groundwater flow around the refuse fill area. The rate and direction of groundwater flow has not been determined. Groundwater monitoring facilities were not constructed to determine groundwater contamination on-site and its migration off-site. The final cover is overburden and sand obtained from the site. This porous media readily allows precipitation to percolate into the refuse. It also results in a "mounding" effect that can raise the water level as much as five feet within the fill area. 4944o.1-x a/ a/a/4i,L a 4210 EAST 11TH AVENUE DENVER,COLORADO 80220 PHONE (303) 320-8333 Mr. C.W. Kirby, Chairman May 20, 1981 page Two It is believed that groundwater in the fill and in the vicinity down gradient is contaminated. Any potable or irrigation water supply must be obtained from an off-site source, unless studied and found to be acceptable. A monitoring system must be installed to determine the extent of migration of contaminated water from the site and the potential for adversely effecting public and/or private water supply systems down gradient. Methane Gas Generation, Migration and Control The porous property of the final cover tends to vent methane gas to the atmosphere as methane gas is slightly lighter than air. However, this porous media also allows precipitation and surface runoff to seep into the fill and hasten the formation of methane and other decomposition gases. There are no impermeable barriers to prevent the lateral migration of methane nor are there "active" or "passive" vents to control methane gas. Placing relatively impermeable top soil at the surface, "black top" or concrete foundations and slabs on ground will cause increased gas pressure within the fill and result in lateral migration of methane gas from the site. Utility lines located within the fill must have structural support to prevent rupture due to settlement. They must also be sealed and vented to prevent the migration of methane gas into structures on-site and off-site via utility lines. Considerable settlement can occur at this site during the decomposition process which lasts for many years. Structures located on-site require specially designed foundations and/or piles of timber, concrete, or steel to provide support and prevent settlement. It is required that methane gas monitoring equipment and warning device be provided to detect the presence and concentration of methane, during and after construction of underground utility lines and structures. In view of the potential adverse impacts on public health, safety and the environment, it is requested the Weld County Commissioners consider the above factors prior to approving zoning changes and permitting construction on this site. Enclosed is a copy of "Amendments to Adams County Zoning Regulations" that include requirements for obtaining "Building Permits and Construction on Former Landfill Sites" for guidance and information.

Frank Change of Zoning Request , A to I The League of Women Voters of Greeley-Weld County presented testimony to this hoard on April 22, 1981 expressing our opposition to this Change of Zone request. At that time, it was understood that the County Commissioners would be in favor of rezoning if certain assurances could he made. The League appreciates the economic realities upon which this rezoning was requested. However, we believe certain philosophical as well as practical considerations need to he addressed as the Commissioners proceed with the change. As mentioned in previous testimony, the League urges cooperation between the various governmental entities that deal with zoning and land use issues. The Fort Lupton and Weld County Planning Boards have voiced their opposition this rezoning. If this request is granted , will Fort Lupton bear the costs of providing the necessary services , spedifically in the area of fire protection? If this is the case , League is concerned about the erosion of the tax base of the affected community. League is aware of the newly adopted zoning ordinance which now more carefully defines Industrial uses. The potential for ilthane gas build-up in the landfill should he of major concern for future uses. We urge that stipulations he made in the Site Plan Review process , (Sec. 234) addressing proper methods of construction for dealing with this possibility on the parcel of land in question. • The League of Women Voters of Greelev-weld recognizes that there have been drastically changing conditions in the area between Fort Lupton and Brighton. We also recognize that land is a finite resource, not ,lust a commodity, and we believe that land ownership, whether public or private, implies responsibilities of stewardship. We urge the Commissioners to ex- ercise great caution in reviewing this request. Thank you. Barbara Crnkovich, President LWV of Greeley-Weld County Pat Fay Natural hesources Coordinator cane League of Women Voters CREELS" -- WSLC COUNTY April 22, 1981 TESTIMONY BEFORE WELD COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RE: Colorado Landfill, Inc./Robert Frank Change of Zoning Request, A to I The League of Women Voters of Greeley-Weld County urges you to deny requests by Colorado Landfill, Inc. and Robert Frank to rezone their property from Agricultural to Industrial. Our opposition to this Change of Zone request is based on our support for comprehensive planning, the importance of protecting agriculture, our belief that units of government should cooperate on land use issues, and our concern about poten- tial hazards caused by previous use of the property as a landfill. The League has studied comprehensive planning in Weld County and supports its use as a guide by which changes can be directed and controlled. Specifically, we favor dispersal of industrial development throughout the county, but contiguous to or within existing incorporated areas. Allowing development outside a city' s corpo- rate limits or urban service area encourages sprawl and increases the costs of pro- viding necessary services, thereby increasing the cost of government. The League believes that the preservation of agriculture is crucial to the econ- omy and character of Weld County. We understand that the parcels in question are not considered suitable economically for cultivated crops. However, the quality of a particular parcel for agricultural uses is not the only important consideration. Neighboring farm operations can be adversely affected by interspersed commercial, industrial, or residential developments. For example, such developments can inter- fere with efficient crop spraying or irrigation ditch operations. One of the concerns addressed by the Colorado Agricultural Lands Advisory Committee's recently completed four-year study is that complaints and nuisance suits brought by expanding urban growth can force pre-existing farm operations to move. The League urges cooperation between the various governmental entities that deal with zoning and land use issues. Weld County's Comprehensive Plan also states as a policy: "Industrial zoning within the comprehensive planning area of a town shall be subject to the industry's compliance with the local comprehensive plan. . . ." The Fort Lupton Planning Commission and the City of Fort Lupton find the requested rezoning to be in conflict with Fort Lupton's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District considers the requests unacceptable, based on fire and health hazards. On the other hand, we are aware that the Brighton Planning Commission and Staff recommend approval of the requests. However, since the property in question is 1-mile within Fort Lupton's Comprehensive Planning Area and 11-miles north of Brigh- ton's Comprehensive Planning Area, it would seem that Fort Lupton' s recommendations should take precedence. Finally, the potential for methane gas build-up from decomposition of organic materials in the landfill makes this site unsuitable for industrial use. Given the explosive potential of such a site, we consider it especially inappropriate as a stor- age area for gas and oil related uses, as has heretofore been suggested. Further, the Colorado Geological Survey has pointed out that subsurface compaction on the former landfill site could result in significant damage to buildings. The uses permitted under Weld County's current Industrial zoning are quite broad. While present owners may indicate or promise to use the land for a particular purpose, once it is zoned Industrial, the county has no control over what industrial use will be made of the property at any time in the future. Given the hazards of the sites, such control will be necessary. On the other hand, by maintaining the present Agri- cultural Zoning, acceptable agriculturally-related uses may be allowed by granting a Special Use Permit. In conclusion, we recognize that the characteristics of the sites make them uneconomical for certain currently allowed uses. Yet, these conditions were caused by the owners' own elective uses of the land. In considering these and similar cases, the Board of Commissioners needs to answer an important philosophical question: Is it your responsibility to make exceptions to the Comprehensive Plan which would affect the orderly growth of a municipality and conflict with surrounding land uses in order to insure and individual's economic profit?

(Section 81 .7 et seq of the Weld County Zoning Resolution) . Furthermore, it is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the rezoning request is not consistent with the basic goals and policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan with respect to industrial development.

At the same time, urban development will take place with a minimum of impact on the environment and with a maximum of economy in providing public utilities and services. The net result is a controlled expansion of our existing municipalities into well planned , coherent communities that blend into and complement the surrounding agricultural environment." More specifically, the Comprehensive Plan addresses Industrial development in Chapter Three, Resource Management Policies , Section B, Urban Development, states on Page 62 that: "Industrial development, like commercial development, is encouraged to locate in one of the existing municipalities where such a facility can be accommodated according to the local comprehensive plan." Further, on Page 65 the following policy if found: "Industrial zoning within the comprehensive planning area of a town shall be subject to the industry' s compliance with the local comprehen- sive plan. . ." This property is located approximately 14 miles north of the City of Brighton Comprehensive Planning Area and 4 mile within the City of Fort Lupton' s Comprehensive Planning Area . Brighton has recommended approval of this request for the reasons stated in their letter dated January 28, 1981 . However, the City of Fort Lupton has recommended denial of this request. Ft. Lupton' s Comprehensive Plan has identified this area as an agricultural buffer to separate the two municipalities. The City of Ft. Lupton has explained their recommendation for denial in their letter of January 22, 1981 . The following excerpts are taken from that letter. "this decision could start a precedence that could have far reaching economic consequences for the City and County. Encouragement of development outside a community' s corporate limits or urban service area encourages sprawl , increases the costs of providing necessary services , erodes the tax base of affected communities , results in a higher cost of government, and inhibits the health of agricultural sector which is one of the mainstays of Weld County economy. Furthermore, a major concern of the City is to prevent any attempt to initiate a strip of industrial zoning adjacent to U.S. 85. The purpose of U.S. 85 is to facilitate the flow of traffic between major cestination points. A series of strip developments would interfere with this , creating traffic - large trucks with slow acceleration - entering at minor access points and entering an area containing fast speeding vehicles . It would also place heavy vehicles on unpaved roads designed for local traffic generating additional costs . In addition, spread in a long strip, it creates problems for developing property in that many land uses are simply incompatible with this type of development. This request conflicts with designated land uses in that the Comprehen- sive Plan supports the development of residential and/or agricultural uses to the south and in fact has been developing in this manner. The granting of this request would be directly contrary to the Plan's direction and incompatible with the Plan. " Case # C0Z-345:80:16 March 3, 1981 Page 3 The Planning Commission concurs with the opinions expressed by the Fort Lupton Planning Commission. This property is located in between two municipalities in an area that has predominantly agricultural uses. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that this request would not result in an controlled expansion of municipal industrial growth due to the location of the parcel with respect to the two communities of Fort Lupton and Brighton. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that industrial development at this site will eventually result in a strip of unplanned, inefficient and incompatible land uses along U.S. Highway 85. 2. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the applicant has not adequately demonstrated in the submitted application materials , or in public statements made prior to the scheduled Planning Commission meeting, that the zoning of the property under consideration is faulty, or that changing conditions in the area warrant a change of zone. The applicant has stated in the submitted application materials that the property is unsuitable for agricultural purposes because the site was a landfill in the past. The applicant has also stated that the adjacent parcels to the south along Highway 85 contain industrial land uses , justifying a change of zone to industrial on this property. The Planning Commission does not consider the present zoning to be faulty. While the property cannot be economically used for cultivated crops , there are other uses permitted in the Agricultural Zone District. Under the current Weld County Zoning Resolution this property could be used for any agricultural business under the provisions of Section 3.3.E.4. describing special uses permitted in the Agricultural Zone District. It is the Staff' s opinion that no changing conditions exist in the area that warrant the change of zone proposed. According to field inspections of this property and the Weld County Zoning map, the area between Weld County Road 61 and Weld County Road 8 consists of land uses that are predominantly agricultural in nature. The attached map outlines industrial and agricultural zoning in the vicinity of the proposed request. There has been only one recent development on a parcel in the area since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. In April of 1974, the Board of County Commissioners approved a change of Zone to Industrial for Zaiss Investment Company to the south of this parcel across Weld County Road 61/4. Clearly, the map shows that industrial development has occured south of Weld County Road 61/4. Industrial development to the north of County Road 61/4 would establish a precedent for industrial development in an area of agricultural land uses . 3. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the industrial uses which could be allowed on the subject property, under the current proposal , would not be compatible with the surrounding land uses. If the rezoning request is granted, the applicant could establish any Industrial use on the property, many of which could conflict with the surrounding land uses.

The applicant has stated in the submitted application materials that the property is unsuitable for agricultural purposes because the site was a landfill in the past. The applicant has also stated that the adjacent parcels and parcels to the south along Hwy 85 contain industrial land uses justifying a change of zone to industrial on this property. The Department of Planning Services Staff does not consider the present zoning to be faulty. While the property cannot be economically used for cultivated crops, there are other uses permited in the Agricultural Zone District. Under the current Weld County Zoning Resolution this property could be used for any agricultural business under the provisions of. Section 3.3.E.4 describing special uses permitted in the Agricultural Zone District. It is the Staff' s opinion that no changing conditions exist in the area that warrant the change of zone proposed. According to field inspections of this property and the Weld County Zoning map, the area between Weld County Road 64 and Weld County Road 8 consists of land uses that are pre- dominantly agricultural in nature. The attached map outlines industrial and agricultural zoning in the vicinity of the proposed request. There has been only one recent development on a parcel in the area since the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. In April of 1974, the Board of County Commissioners approved a change of Zone to Industrial for Zaiss Investment Co. to the south of this parcel across Weld County Road 64. Clearly, the map shows that industrial development has occurred south of Weld County Road 64. Industrial development to the north of County Road 64 would establish a precedent for industrial development in an area of agricultural land uses. 3. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services Staff that the industrial uses which could be allowed on the subject property, under the current proposal , would not be compatible with the surrounding land uses. If the rezoning request is granted, the applicant could establish any Industrial use on the property, many of which could conflict with the sur- rounding land uses.

The meeting was called to order at 7105 P.M. by Chairman, Alan Sandberg. Members present at roll call were Larry McCorkle, Alan Sandberg, and Jesse Ceretto. John Martin was absent. The minutes of the two previous meeting were approved as presented. Action was taken on two referrals sent to Port Lupton by Weld County. The first, a rezoning request by Colorado Landfill Inc. to change Agriculturally zoned land to Industrial. A denial was made on motion of Jesse Ceretto and this was seconded by Larry McCorkle. This was carried b a unaminous vote LaVern Nelson, C.L.I. representative was present. Deniall was based—on its conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, as well as opposition to stamp industrial development, and concern over the safety hazards arising from methane gas, In the second referral, applicant Robert Frank requested that his land be rezoned from agricultural to industrial. A motion by Larry McCorkle, seconded by Jesse Ceretto to deny this request because of its incompatability with the Comprehensive Plan, an opposition to strip industrial development and safety hazards arising from methane gas, passed unamaniously. Gavle Packard-Seeburger presented an overview on how to proceed with the Comprehensive Plan. It was acceptable and the Planning Commission has targeted potential members for the agreed upon committees. Jesse Ceretto will make initial phone contact and Gayle will follow this up with a phone call and letter. In addition, the publicity committee will begin meeting and contact city and civic organizations as well as the newspapers. The Planning Commission at its January 27, 1981 meeting will review; ,progress on this and then determine the timing of other aspects of the plan, • The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 P.M. 1:� FORT `oto� City of ,fort Lupton 18 �' 36 COUNTY OF WELD 330 PARK AVENUE FORT LUPTON (3031 8576667 P.O. 80X 158 DENVER METRO (3031 893.5404 FORT LUPTON,CO. 80621 GREELEY METRO (3031 7856108 COLORMD° 1/22/81 3a Weld County Planning Commission { O !� 915 10th �� `o�� Sk„ML G, w Greeley, Colo. i 4'„g°o� FO 4.1 Dear Ms. Traxler: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on two referrals (case numbers Z346:80: 17 and COZ 345:80:16) recently sent to the City of Fort Lupton. Both of these applicants, Colorado Landfill Inc. and Robert Frank, requested that their land be rezoned from agricultural to industrial: the parcels are contigeous to one another. For this reason, the following response is applicable to both requests. The Fort Lupton Planning Commission met January 13, 1981 and reviewed the above case. It was the finding of the Planning Commissions that both requests were unacceptable for the following reasons: 1. Methane gas: It is the opinion of the Commission that this should be a major factor in determiningthe appropiateness of this request. The Commission's position is that methane can form over a long period of time and that the depth of a landfill is not a critical factor in the formation of this gas and that, therefore, this site constitutes a potential safety hazard and is inappropiate for industrial use. It is furthernoted that this particular zoning category is quite broad and it is the City's conjecture that it would be utilized as an outdoor storage area and given the area economy, specifically for gas and oil related uses. Any such use, complied with the presence of methane raised serious questions concerning site safety. 2. Environmental concerns: Fort Lupton urges and, when possible, requires that any degradation of the environment be minimized and that when an activity which creates a significant disruption to the land occurs, that the landowner, upon cessation of that activity, reclaim that land in,keeping with federal guidelines and restore it to "productive" (whereby it can support vegtative life) use. The Planning Commission notes that this land was at one time agriculturally productive. The reason it is not now productive is that the landowner knowingly elected to destroy its agricultural value by changing the use of that property to a landfill and then, again, not electing to the restore the land to its original use. The City has no obligation to suppport a request for industrial zoning when the applicant economic hardship arises from the applicants own actions, and when the approval of such request would start a land use pattern in conflict with future development plans. 3. Economic Benefit: The City of Fort Lupton believes that the economics of operating a landfill, especially in the past, are very lucrative, hence the removal of land from agricultural production. Because of the importance of the enviroment, it is not unreasonable to request that this land be restored to its originial use. The Commission believes this has not been done because it is more advantageous, to economically, to the applicant to own "industrially" zoned land. It is the City's responsibility to make recommendations on the basis of considerations above and beyond the individuals' economic profit. Conversely, this decision could start a precedence that could have far reaching economic consequences for the City and County. Encouragement of development outside a community's corporate limits or urban service area encourages sprawl, increases the costs of providing neccessary services, erodes the tax base of affected communities, results in a higher cost of government, and inhibits the health of agricultural sector which is one of the mainstays of Weld County's economy. For these reasons we believe Fort Lupton would potentially suffer an economic loss as a result of positive decision. 4. Land Use Patterns: The land use within this area is almost completely agricultural, a use identical to that called for and in both the Fort Lupton and Weld County Comprehensive Plans. Furthermore, a major concern of the City is to prevent any attempt to initiate.astrip of industrial zoning adjacent to U.S. 85. Through our Comprehensive Plan and other policy decisions, the City, for a myriad of reasons, opposes strip development. The Commission believes it to be particularly inappropriate along the U.S. 85 corridor for traditional and accepted planning reasons. The purpose of U.S. 85 is to facilitate the flow of traffic between major destination points. A series of strip developments would interfere with this, creating traffic - large trucks with slow acceleration - entering a minor access points and entering an area containing fast speeding vehicles. It would also place heavy vehicles on unpaved roads designed for local traffic generating additional costs. In addition, spread in a long strip, it creates problems for developing property in that many land uses are simply incompatible with this type of development. 5. Comprehensive Plan: Fort Lupton's Comprehensive Plan calls for logical development pattern., discourages leapfrog development, and calls for all development to be served by City utilities, and annexed into the Town. It calls for a well integrated, well balanced community which provides economic opportunities to its residents as well as providing fortheir housing and other needs. Accordingly, the City contains both developed and undeveloped industrial land and has the capability of providing these areas with utilities upon request. The location of industry in this area is unincorporated Weld County should be encouraged because it represents an efficient, cost effective means to provide utilities to industry, locates them in compatible areas, minimizes traffic congestion, safety, and environmental hazards and discourage urban sprawl. In addition, this request conflicts with designated land uses in that the Comprehensive Plan supports the development of residential and/or agricultural uses to the south and in fact has been developing in this manner. The granting of this request would be directly contrary to the Plans direction and incompatible with the Plan. It would also create a precedence for more such requests. 6. Intergovernmental Agreements: Fort Lupton believes the area between it and the City of Brighton to be an area of mutual planning concern. The City is now in the process of approaching Brighton and entering into discussions concerning the future development of that area and how it should be handled. Our goal is to come to agreement on the issues involved and ratify this in the form of an intergovernmental agreement. The Planning Commission would be extremely destructive to approve a land use deviating from the predominate land uses in the area without agreement being reached by the two enities. The City believes this would have the effect of closing off options and believes it is to the benefit of both Brighton and Fort Lupton to have as much latitude in this area as possible. We urge you not to initiate a land use prior before our joint enities have an opportunity to determine whether or not it is desirable from a quasi regional perspective. Finally, in conclusion, we urge you to consider the above in your decision making process and to deny these applications.

Rezoning Application from Agricultural to Industrial Dear Ms. Traxler : This letter is prepared to provide additional information regarding the subject rezoning in accordance with the discussions at our meeting of January 21 , 1981 in your office. Subsequent to the meeting I have had telephone conversations with Drew Scheltinga of the Weld County Engineering Department and Wally Jacobson, Engineer for the Colorado Department of Highways . I am informed that both of these people have discussed these matters with you directly. As requested in the letter from Drew, we will comply with the need for an additional 30 foot right-of-way from the south 30 feet of the Colorado Landfill property. Along with that dedication we would agree to provide a plan for road improvements when the use is known. According to my conversations with Drew and as discussed in his letter to you of January 16 , a zoning change would not generally require that a road improvement plan be sumbitted at the time of rezoning. He believes that we should add the requirement for road improvements to the other matters tied to the building permit , such that road access can be brought to county standards to meet the need at the time such need is established. Such road improvements then become a discretionary matter for the commissioners at the time of hearing. My discussions with Wally Jacobson brought out the fact that the U.S . Highway 85 right-of-way adjacent to the site is 175 feet . According to Mr. Jacobson, the Highway Department does not need nor do they want additional right-of-way in that area. I under- stand from Mr . Jacobson' s letter of January 15 to you, and Mr . Jacobson so confirms , that the State Highway Department will Weld County Department of • Planning Services Attention: Vickie Traxier January 26 , 1981 Page 2 request joint participation of the adjacent land owners for highway improvements when actual traffic volumes and vehicle types can be evaluated. Such evaluation must be based on the actual traffic information for this property at the time it develops to industrial or other uses . It would seem to me that this requirement should also somehow be attached to the building permit requirements at time of actual use . I have further contacted Rob Walsh , the planner for the Brighton Planning Commission . He informs me that the Brighton Planning Commission will discuss the rezoning at their meeting on Tuesday evening, January 27 , 1981 . He is hopeful that a resolution will occur so that further delay is not necessary. He tells me that he has been in contact with the planner for the Fort Lupton Planning Commission and that planner intends to be at their meeting on January 27 , 1981 . I plan to also appear at that meeting in behalf of Colorado Landfill although Rob felt that such attendance certainly was not necessary since we have already stated our case before that body. You requested at our meeting of last Wednesday that this rezoning application be delayed for one month. It is my feeling that a delay is all right but obviously our preference is to proceed according to the schedule established. It would seem to me that if Brighton acts on our request and submits that informa- tion to you yet this week that we could probably continue on our schedule to hear the matter before the Weld County Planning Commission on February 3 , 1981. Please keep me posted as to actual time of hearing for this application before the Weld County Planning Commission. Respectfully , NELSON ENGINEERS IbVern C.

Tom Hahn, Planner Weld County Planning Department Centennial Center Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Hahn: Attached hereto is a rezoning application from agricultural to industrial for the land owned by Colorado Landfill , Inc. along U. S. Highway 85 three miles south of Ft . Lupton, Colorado . The legal description, property configuration, and adjoining property owners are shown on the accompanying "Vicinity and Land Use Map" and the "Zone Change filing plat. " As you know, this site is a completed landfill that has been covered with at least two feet of native subgrade material of sand and gravel . The finished landfill is subject to differential settlement and is not readily irrigable . The soil will not support vegetative growth without importation of substantial amounts of organic soils . Such cost is not economically justified for recovery . of the land for agricultural purpose. We believe that a better and more compatible use for this area is for industrial uses as are now being developed on adjacent pro- perties along U. S. Highway 85 . To our knowledge none of the neigh- bors object to this change of use. We will appreciate your early consideration of this application. Respectfully, NELSON ENGINEERS La ern C .

NELSON ENGINEERS • GREELEY NATIONAL PLAZA 822 7TH STREET GREELEY,COLORADO 80631 (303)3566362 December 22 , 1980 Mr. Tom Hahn, Planner Weld County Planning Department Centennial Center Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Rezoning of a part of the NW 1/4 SE 1/4 Section 19 T1N, R66W owned by Colorado Landfill , Inc . Dear Mr. Hahn: As of December 15 , 1980 , a submittal was made to your office regarding rezoning of lands owned by Colorado Landfill , Inc . , along U. S. Highway 85 three miles south of Ft. Lupton, Colorado. In the letter of submittal, a statement is included regarding justification of rezoning. That statement is partially included herein with further justification . The area is unsuitable for agricultural purposes because the site is a completed landfill that has been covered with at least two feet of native subgrade material of sand and gravel. The completed landfill is subject to differential settlement and thereby is not readily irrigable . The soil will not support vegetative growth without importation of substantial amounts of organic soils . Such cost is not justified economically to recover the land for agricultural purposes . We believe that a better and more compatible use for this area is for industrial use. Such a change not only provides for future use of the property but it would conform to the changing uses of land immediately adjacent and south of the property along U.S. Highway 85 . Much of that property is now being used industrially as evidenced by the existing development and zone changes in the area. Therefore , current zoning is in error and rezoning to industrial will correct that faulty zoning. There is no public water system readily available at the site . A well permit will be applied for and the well will be developed for domestic purposes . Most of the adjacent properties are using well sources for their domestic needs . There is no • Mr . Tom Hahn, Planner Weld County Planning Department Page 2 public sewer system in the immediate area, however , septic tank and leaching area can be made readily available and would provide the necessary waste disposal . A copy of the deed to the property for which rezoning is requested is attached hereto. In addition, nine additional copies of the vicinity map filed earlier with your office are included with this submittal. The submitted vicinity map and legal description and plat of the area describe the area more accurately than the deed description since that latest description represents the results of an actual field survey of the owned parcel . The soils survey, as required , from the Soil Conservation Service is being submitted under separate cover as soon as it is received from the Brighton office .

REZONING WELD COUNTY We have reviewed the Colorado Landfill , Inc. rezoning application. This site is adjacent to the Frank zoning change request that we reviewed on January 5, 1981 . As in that review we have no objections to the rezoning. However, several constraints to development do exist. 1 . This is an old landfill and structures built on the site will be susceptible to damage from sub- surface compaction. 2. Methane gas build-up under improperly designed structures can explode and cause extensive damage. 3. Effluent from standard on-lot septic systems may not be adequately treated by the sand and gravel fill over the landfill . We recommend that these concerns be addressed prior to development of this area. Sincerely, 9 Julia E.

DOH FILE 45100 Ms. Vickie Traxler Department of Planning Services Weld County 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Ms. Traxler: We have reviewed the application from Colorado Landfill , Inc. , for a change of zone. As indicated in our letter regarding the Robert Frank zone change request, the rezoning of this property to an industrial use will have traffic impacts on the intersection of County Road 62 and U.S. Highway 85. We are concerned that the increased traffic, particularly truck traffic, will have difficulty making turns at the intersection. We feel that intersection improvements may be warranted as a result of these traffic impacts. We urge the County to consider some type of joint participation by the Frank and Colorado Landfill industrial developments in the cost of highway improvements, as may be determined necessary when the actual traffic volumes and vehicle types can be evaluated. We would like to review traffic information for this property before industrial development occurs. Very truly yours, DWIGHT M.

Following considerable discussion, the Brighton Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval in both cases for the following reasons: (1) The proposed zoning is compatable with surrounding land uses and zoning. (2) An industrial facility is the highest and best use for the proposed site. Several members of the Brighton Planning Commission recog- nized the need for a joint planning effort, to establish policies and criteria for development in the transportation corridor be- tween Ft. Lupton and Brighton. The Planning Staffs from the two cities and Weld County should discuss an approach to this effort, followed by one or more meetings between the involved Planning Commissions. Although this work could not be completed in time for review of the current referrals, the results of the joint effort would be beneficial in evaluating future land use issues. Thank you for including us in your review process. We will keep you informed of the progress toward establishing the joint planning effort.
