RE: 2"d AMUSR-488 Cottonwood Gravel Pit; being part of the S2 of Section 16 and the N2 of Section
21, all in Township 2 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M.,Weld County, CO.
Dear Mr. Brown;
The Department of Planning Services has determined that the asphalt mixing plant can remain on site
once the gravel operations have ceased. LaFarge will be required to apply for and be approved by the
Board of County Commissioners for a Partial Vacation of 2nd AMUSR-488 in compliance with Section 23-
2-200.G of the Weld County Code. At this time the Department of Planning Services will at a minimum be
requiring that the boundaries of 2nd AMUSR-488 continue to comply with Development Standard #26
which states "the asphalt mixing plat shall be located no closer than one-fourth of a mile to any residence
on adjoining properties".
Please contact me at(720)652-4210, Ext. 8730 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
C_ .

Dear Mr. Honn,
It was a pleasure meeting you last Thursday. Lafarge looks forward to continuing our
professional relationship with Weld County generally and with your Planning
Department specifically.
This letter is in regards to the Cott'nwood Pit located on WCR 20 1/2;parcel number
131317000016. This property was originally permitted in 1983 for the operation of a
gravel pit. In 1984, this special review was amended to allow for the addition and
operation of an asphalt mixing plant. A second amendment was approved in 2001 for the
addition of four accessory buildings on the property.
Lafarge respectfully requests your verification that the allowed asphalt mixing plant can
remain as an independent allowed use once mining activity has ceased. As stated on the
2nd Amendment to the Special Review (Case#488:82:3) "The uses permitted on the
hereon described parcel shall be the extraction of sand and gravel and an asphalt mixing
plant..." It appears clear that the asphalt mixing plant is described as an independent use
and therefore may continue,but we would like a formal interpretation before committing
to a substantial capital investment on this property.
Please give me a call at 303-657-4054 if you have any questions. Thank you for all of
your assistance.
Sincerely,
Steven T. Brown, AICP
