As you know, any one of the four WCR 24 alignment options currently under consideration will impact the property that I own and/or have under contract to purchase in the north one half(Nl/2) of Section 12, Township 2 North, Range 67 West of • the 6th P.M. • While I fully appreciate the WCR 24 improvements that Weld County is contemplating, I also want to see the County chose the road alignment option that has the • least adverse impact on my property in terms of economics, esthetics and my future use • and enjoyment of my property. • As you may know, over the past three years I have been in the process of acquiring • land that is suitable for both sand and gravel extraction and water storage and taking steps • to ensure the ultimate development of my property for such uses. Recently, I have . discussed the feasibility of mining my property with several Weld County sand and gravel producers and discussed future water storage opportunities with several Front • Range municipalities. My preliminary calculations indicate that value of minable sand • and gravel on my property is worth $47,000.00 per acre with the corresponding water storage conservatively valued at $90,000.00 per acre for a combined total of$137,000.00 • for each acre devoted to the new road alignment. For this reason alone, I think we can • both agree that identifying the preferred road alignment should take into consideration • both the public and private economic impact of that alignment. • S r • 760 S. 104th St.Broomfield,CO 80020 Phone 303-665-8303 1-800-951-SPAS(7727) Fax 303.664.1293 www.diamondspas.com • 1 1 1 DIAMOND SPAS 4 Mr. Scot Lewis 1 January 26, 2007 4 Page Two of Two 4 1 That said, I have studied the four alignment options under consideration and believe 4 that option number four (4)would have the least impact on my property and is; therefore, 4 my preferred alignment.

The timing of the response period did not • allow the Windell family enough time to get the input of others we required to answer • your questions and evaluate the alternatives. • Specifically, we located to the South Platte River Valley nearly fifteen years ago for the • purpose of being afforded a regionally rural life style not found in close proximity to • Front Range urban sprawl. Our family and agricultural business enterprises relocated • during the same period of time and occupied 265 acres. One of the purposes of our • relocation was to develop further our core native plant nursery that's business is generated by buyers whom restore, enhance or create natural areas for development and • recreational enterprise. • Our principal buyers are entrepreneurs whom are creating and enhancing wetlands, riparian and stream corridor habitats as amenities to their ranch development. These • types of ranches are known as recreational ranches promoting wildlife,refuge and natural • area enhancement and preservation. • The Windell Family and Aquatic and Wetland Company have and continue to seek • investors to join with the family and company to create a wildlife and refuge river and • lake front private community at this same location. Sketch plans,renderings, aerial • concepts, engineering calculations, planning, financial projections, and permitting • considerations have been developed to promote the project. These plans accessed the South Platte River to create a marina, and included development of several low velocity • boulder drop structures and water elevation control structures serving a water storage • basin (131 acre) after extraction of sand and gravel. A draft business plan for the • development is attached and is known as AWC's Wildlife & Refuge Ranch Development —Windell's South Platte River Heritage Ventures "Heritage Venture". It follows a • similar business model as that we now serve. • • • • DESIGN • BUILD • GROW 9999 Weld County Rd. 25 • Ft.

In further review of the plans various alternatives would affect our plans and life style to different degrees. Nevertheless, we can only support ALTERNATIVE#4 as an option that will affect our I lifestyle and plans the least. However, the alternatives are very incomplete and consider I nothing related to the area it will affect indefinitely. I The alternatives have done little to elucidate broader questions that might include: I I 1. Opportunities and Constraints Analysis I 2. Property Value Decreases I 3.

Potential environmental, social and economic impacts 20. Actions that will lessen unavoidable impacts 21. Opportunity to maintain and nurture the spirit of place We support the transportation project in that it may possibly lead to the extraction of gravel from our location and develop our water storage vessel and lakefront and riverfront wildlife and refuge community if those precautions above are given consideration. Preliminary profonna and comparable property analysis have indicated that the property 175 acres and 150 shares of water are valued at $1.00 per square foot and $10,500 per share respectively, prior to the contemplation of the transportation project. AWC and family have courted investors and have some whom are performing there due diligence. The effects of the transportation project are currently not known and we are concerned of the psychological impacts on the buyer. Given that several of the alternatives impact the Windell's and have jeopardized its present and future ability to definitively discuss and promote the properties development we ask that we discuss further your project. • • • • • The impacts of your project potentially effects 10 years of planning and current • negotiations between the Windell Family, AWC, Heritage Venture, investors, sellers and buyers. We are not sure what should be our next step other than to meet, develop and • discuss a transportation project that mitigates impacts and best suits the needs of both. • • Best Reg • ,• ad Wi de l .

The potential growth in the corridor. improvements would provide a new crossing of the South Platte River. The nearest South Platte crossings are located approximately 2 miles north and 3 miles south of the study area on WCR 28 and WCR 18 respectively. State highway crossings are located 3 miles north and 5. 5C. miles south of the study area on SH 66 and SH 62 respectively. Regy The proposed corridor would provide a connection between the two 11%Pi hum primary east/west routes (WCR 24 and WCR 22) of the existing LO-.OKING TRasParterna Weld County system.

We hope that you will keep us in the loop as planning and development of the same occur. We are concerned about the aesthetic and functional impacts to this • unique river valley corridor. • • We have some concern given that the planning level of detail at this time is quite • conceptual. Some of our concerns were alluded to in our last letter to you and are reiterated in this letter. Further, given that the planning is conceptual the concerns are • related to properties we own on the west and east side of the river. Specifically, access, O visual impact, and sound mitigation concern us at this juncture. • You may recall that our concerns with the project in general are: • • I. Noise Mitigation Planning • a. Natural soil benning of sufficient height to attenuate noise and head • light impact 2. Visual Mitigation Planning • a. Henning ROW to visually preclude observation of road way and O vehicle traffic • 3. Re-naturalizing highway corridor with landscape more fitting to region and semi and front range conditions • 4. Wildlife Corridor Impacts • a. Migratory animal friendly circulation and minimized impact • 5. Migratory Bird Corridor Planning • a.

Although we are not opposed to the road going through this area, certain conditions must be meet • to enable us to continue living in our home. The road would need to be moved 200 feet south of our property line. At this time there is open land to the south of our property with no building • structures. Allowing us to keep the 30 foot easement from the property line would enable us to • construct a dirt berm for noise abatement, • Any further encroachment onto out property beyond said 30 foot easement would cross over the • septic leach field which was approved by the county and force the evacuation of our home. • Should that be the case we feel we should be compensated at this time so that we would be able to build a new home. If we wait for compensation until the actual construction of the road we • would no longer be physically able to do the construction, In any case we need some type of • decision in writing so that we can continue construction projects in our current home or plan construction of a new home. • We understand the need for progress but feel it should not come at the cost of private ownership without just treatment and compensation. Such a small deviation in the alignment of the road could enable us to stay in the home we love. • • Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter, flwg• • Howard W.Centre • Cc: Weld County Commissioners • • • • • • • • • WCR24 CORRIDOR STUDY to •e Final Open House Comment Sheet • PLEASE PROVIDE ANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE REGARDING THE • POTENTIAL PROJECT AND PROJECT PLANNING PROCESS Questions and Answer Sheets may be handed in at the meeting or mailed to Scot • Lewis, PE, Project Manager, 1111 H Street, PO Box 758, Greeley, CO 80632 by • May 11, 2007 • • Name: 2i "-'t CeA-O,1 — Al i lex- • l k_cr C-4_e-1c- Q rd Geer Ls aeA- et_ cS . • bb it C&. & r re_ci- /IL4c / - 4 • �r/ • /�o e ✓i c�ac.-- o--1` X-ex_e�-7�y el-A.4.0.14. • • Q-/Jln / s(rte. • _Tn,r' 4-d 0-,C ,51)ad r a - —17---,e /Witty • • fac /fit 7 745, �' o-r prettr.= Ps • -x eKts , t1 . itkid (' • 1's A-Crf 47---k-114-5 Ca-re_ ca cc,s-i, , /.e-1 �e • 1t el p /�n n.in-g r- ,h e)--- ! r6eis . •• • • d e71. `s`"4 6 e.

The proposed road meanders directly through the center of the farm's pasture that • supports 200 head of cattle, effectively putting the farm out of business. Additionally, the Miller • family, the farm's owners,believe that this particular route for the road, Weld County Road 24 . Corridor alternative four, has been chosen over other alternatives is because other routes would run through subdivided land on the western side of the Platte River, and the county would have to deal with multiple land owners, rather than the Millers. • • Dwight Stephens S • t •_ WCR24 CORRIDOR STUDY Final Open House Comment Sheet • PLEASE PROVIDE ANY COMMENTS YOU HAVE REGARDING THE • POTENTIAL PROJECT AND PROJECT PLANNING PROCESS • • Questions and Answer Sheets may be handed in at the meeting or mailed to Scot • Lewis, PE, Project Manager, 1111 H Street, PO Box 758, Greeley, CO 80632 by • May 11, 2007 • • Name: Prin 4o7/%40 , • • T ///i ve /Cam 72,0 `t/4.PPn 5 /7.5 A2PP t/Pcdg •• TOT/ /— /7 Gv� n e.0-0/a,, Phr rL C/R P f.

Bruce Barker, County Attorney, made this a matter of record. • • Scot Lewis, Department of Public Works, gave a presentation of the project, and stated County Road 24 is a strategic roadway; however, there is a gap in a section of the roadway. Mr. Lewis explained the purpose of this project is to serve the surrounding communities by connecting two existing corridors, and at this time the County is only preserving right-of-way in anticipation of the • project and there is no plan to commence construction within the next five years. He explained by making these decisions in advance, the County will have an established route when developments • are proposed. Mr. Lewis explained the study process began with establishing the framework,then • data collection commenced, staff is currently evaluating alternatives and hearing public input, and • ultimately the County will identify a route to be reserved for the proposed roadway. He further explained the evaluation process includes the development of design standards for arterial routes • and establishing evaluation criteria and a rating system for the route options. Mr. Lewis stated the • Department of Public Works Study Team consists of himself, Wayne Howard, Brian Varrella, who provides hydraulic analysis,and Leon Sievers,who provides right-of-way information. He explained a the County hired SEH Engineering as a consultant and George Walton, John Hall, and Joe • Henderson joined the Study Team from the company. Mr. Lewis stated Mr. Walton performed most of the data collection and created the majority of the report. Mr. Lewis explained as a result • of an open house meeting, the public attendees plotted an alternative route of their preference, • which is located further to the west than the other alternative routes. Mr. Lewis stated staff • researched existing development plans and there are none currently on file. He stated staff also researched environmental and topographic characteristics of the areas, including flood plains, parcel ownerships, partial ownerships, and US 85 access control, since the eastern portion of the • project connects there. Mr. Lewis stated the determined evaluation criteria have been divided into • the following categories: social evaluation, economic evaluation, constructability evaluation, and 2007-3361 • ,i(, r'�L� 1 (_ EG0056 HEARING CERTIFICATION - COUNTY ROAD 24 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT STUDY PAGE 2 environmental evaluation. Mr. Lewis stated in order to encourage public two open houses were held, 75 surrounding landowners were invited to each meeting, and over 20 individuals attended each open house. Mr. Lewis stated four alternatives were developed by the County and two additional alternatives were created by the public attendees. He stated alternative route#4 is the clear favorite of the six routes considered, and it is located as far north into the flood plain as is possible. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Lewis stated the route is plotted to minimize the direction of the water flow if there is a 100-year flood event. He explained the engineers strive to keep the routes at a 90 degree angle so the flood route will continue on same route as before and will not travel onto other property. In response to Commissioner Jerke, Mr. Lewis stated the alternative route which crosses the South Platte River, utilizing an existing bridge, is not this route. Mr. Lewis stated the advantages of using alternative route #4 are it has the third lowest potential for environmental impact, the northern river crossing presents a lower potential for floodplain impacts, it introduces the fewest potential conflict points with the existing transportation system, it provides for positive circulation on both sides of the South Platte River, and the route was ranked #1 by all of the evaluation panel members. Robert Nash, property owner, stated he is trying to understand the reasons for conducting the study and which surrounding communities are to be served. Chair Long stated the reason is to provide connectivity between roadways to deliver goods and services,as there is quite an expanse currently between roadways. Mr. Nash stated the Weld County Planning Department is assuming the surrounding communities want this project; however,those areas did not request it. Chair Long stated the project has been prompted through ongoing discussions with the surrounding communities. Mr. Nash stated many surrounding property owners were not invited to the open houses. Commissioner Jerke stated a broad cross section of people were notified and have attended meetings. Responding to Mr. Nash, Chair Long stated he is not aware if any private industries requested this project; however, the County is anticipating the future needs of private industries. Responding to Mr. Nash, Mr. Lewis stated there was a budget for the report preparation. Chair Long stated there is not a budget determined for other steps of the project since there are no plans to proceed at this time; however, the anticipated route will serve to guide future growth and connectivity. In response to Mr. Nash, Chair Long stated the rate of growth will determine how soon the County will need to proceed with this project, and there is no time line currently in place. Chair Long explained a number of studies are conducted throughout the County to determine the most accessible and reasonable routes to take to avoid a future situation similar to T-rex, to be prudent with taxpayer dollars, and avoid having to purchase a lot of property in the future. Commissioner Masden stated he lives in the Town of Hudson, and in the area there are limited options to travel east and west. Mr. Nash stated he is concerned about an increase in truck traffic and the lack of law enforcement in the area. He further stated that more people should be made aware of the prospect of a 4-lane highway since it will affect many of them. Responding to Mr. Nash, Commissioner Masden stated State Highway 66 is under the State's jurisdiction, not the County's; however, the County has been working with Region 4 engineers to place a traffic light at State Highway 66 and County Road 14, and also worked with the State to expedite the placement of a traffic light on Highway 34 in Kersey. Howard Cantrell, property owner, stated there are only eight miles between Highways 52 and 66. Mr. Cantrell stated it is unfair to the property owners to plan a route even though construction may not commence for ten or twenty years since it immediately lowers the market value of the homes which are on the proposed route. He stated the process works for planning purposes; however, it adversely affects the property owners. He further stated if the proposed route is adopted, it will 2007-3361 EG0056 • • HEARING CERTIFICATION - COUNTY ROAD 24 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT STUDY • PAGE 3 • • be built directly through what is currently his bedroom. Mr. Cantrell stated he spoke to the • Departments of Planning Services and Public Works specifically about future road developments • five years ago and was told the proposed route was not an option due to the wetlands, and as a • result of this conversation,he has spent a lot of money on improvements to the property. He stated the Board needs to consider the consequences of establishing a plan even though a timeline has • not been established. Responding to Mr. Cantrell,Chair Long stated to solidify the plan the County • needs to allocate money to purchase land; however, the Board cannot make this commitment • presently. • Nancy Bohling, property owner,stated she does not have a problem traveling east and west on the • existing roads and suggested the County consider widening existing roads rather than constructing new ones. Ms. Bohling stated the proposed road will be built alongside the wetlands on her • property. She further stated her easement states the oil companies have rights-of-way for pipelines • under her property, and the situation may be the same for much of the proposed roadway. Ms. Bohling stated on the east side of the river, the entire area is on a floodplain, and people • cannot obtain permits to build homes there due to the floodplain designation. She explained she • can only travel by 4-wheeler to retrieve cattle on the floodplain pasture land;therefore,it will require • a lot of work and money to create a usable roadway over the floodplain. • Kenneth Miller, property owner, stated he resides directly east of the proposed route and he farms • and ranches on the property. Mr. Miller stated the roadway will be catastrophic to his ability to farm and ranch on the property, and one mile of the proposed road will be built through his property. • He stated he hopes the next generation of his family will continue farming on the property and he • will be disillusioned if the proposed route is approved by the Board. Mr. Miller stated his parents • purchased 400 acres in the early 1950s, and he later purchased an additional 120 acres. Mr. Miller stated there are flaws in the study, and things that should have been considered were not. He • explained alternative route#4 covers more wetlands than any of the other proposed routes which . makes this a more costly option. He further stated the area is rich in wildlife, including eagles, • redtail hawks, blue herring, horned owls, deer, wild turkey, and waterfowl. Mr. Miller stated there are no houses located for three to four miles on the east side of his property; therefore, it would • have the most significant impact on the existing ecosystem to build the roadway there. He suggested the County may want to work with the State and connect State Highway 66 to County Road 32, since this route already has a State maintained bridge, and the road would be on higher ground, without the floodplain problems alternative route#4 has. Mr. Miller stated he spoke to the • Town of Platteville's Town Manager and neither the Town Manager nor the fire department were notified of this study, and the Town of Platteville will be directly affected by the proposed route. He • further stated he cannot sell his property now without disclosure of this study to potential buyers. • • Darlene Stevens, partner in the Miller family farms, stated she resides in Arizona and traveled to Colorado to attend today's hearing and voice her opposition to alternative route#4. She stated her • parents bought the land in1954 and her father spent years leveling the land near the river for • irrigation. She stated there are between 300 and 400 acres in the floodplain area which is at times • completely under water. Ms. Stevens quoted Mark Hillman, stating "Once you have made a piece of land your own, for someone to take if from you by force is nothing less than theft. Not just theft • of your property, but theft of the time and hard work exchanged for it." She stated the Weld County • Comprehensive Plan, in Appendix 22.E, is the Right to Farm statement,which reads"Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, ranking fifth in the total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural area of Weld County may be open and • 2007-3361 • EG0056 1 1 HEARING CERTIFICATION - COUNTY ROAD 24 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT STUDY PAGE 4 1 spacious but there are intensive uses for agriculture. Persons moving into rural area must recognize and accept that there are drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town.Along with the drawbacks come the incentives, which attract the urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas such as open views, spaciousness, wildlife, a lack of city noise and congestion, and a rural atmosphere and way of life. Without these neighboring farms, these features, which attracted the urban dwellers to Weld County, would quickly be gone forever. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusion of the urban users into a rural area." Ms. Stevens read part of a letter marked as Exhibit A, which was written by her legal representative,Jody Alderman, Grimshaw and Harring, stating alternative route#4 has the largest presence in wetlands, and it is the only alternative route that rated poor for bridge access. Linda Miller-Crane, partner in the Miller family farms, stated this is an emotional and stressful situation for her family, as 42 percent of the proposed road will impact her family's farm, which helps to support dozens of other agricultural businesses in Weld County. Ms. Miller-Crane stated it is currently the dream of her 15 year-old daughter to complete veterinary studies at Colorado State University and operate the farm as a large animal clinic, with boarding and riding trails. She stated if alternative route#4 is approved,her daughter's dream will be lost. Ms. Miller-Crane stated traffic impacts calves dramatically, and last spring fifty percent of their calves died when traffic increased due to activity at a gas well. She stated Weld County has a proud agricultural heritage, which is referred to repeatedly throughout the Comprehensive Plan. She further stated in Article I, Section 22-1.10.C, the Comprehensive Plan states it is the document which serves as the foundation of all land use and development regulations in the County. Ms. Miller-Crane stated in Section 22-1-50.D2 it states supporting agriculture will continue to be a significant goal of the County,Section 22-1-50.D.2c states agriculture will be supported and will continue as the mainstay of the County, and Section 22-1-50.D.3a states the County conserves agricultural land for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of agriculture. She stated the County Code states conversion of agricultural lands to urban uses will be considered; however, only in areas in and around existing municipalities, and she stated this development is not near a municipality. She further stated the County Code states that supporting agriculture will include recognizing the Right to Farm, which was discussed earlier. Ms. Miller-Crane stated the County Code states private property rights, which are one of the basic principals upon which the United States was founded, exist for citizens to own and utilize property, balanced with the responsibility of protecting the community health, safety, and welfare. She stated the construction of proposed alternative route #4 will not contribute to the health, safety, or welfare of Weld County residents. Ms. Miller-Crane stated the County Code, under Respect for Agricultural Tradition, states as new land uses evolve it is important that the established agricultural businesses and associated infrastructures are allowed to continue to operate without additional constraint. She further stated the Code states individuals who move into these areas must realize they will experience conditions and services unlike an urban setting and must be willing to accept this lifestyle. Ms. Miller-Crane stated acceptance of this lifestyle includes using existing roads. She stated Article II, Section 2-2-20, Foundations of Future Land Use, states supporting agriculture will continue to be a significant goal of the County, Section 22-2-20.E.5 states the County will support agriculture by adopting policies and regulations that do not create regulatory burdens on the agricultural producer, and Section 22-2-20.E.6 states the county will promote quality planning that is sensitive to surrounding land uses, and respectful of the natural environment. Ms. Miller-Crane stated Weld County has consistently rated in the top five counties in the nation for agricultural production since 1964; however, the County experienced a decrease of eight percent in the number of farm acres. She stated the County has lost 271,491 acres of agricultural land between 1987 and 2002, and the 2007-3361 EG0056 • • HEARING CERTIFICATION - COUNTY ROAD 24 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT STUDY • PAGE 5 • Board must take a stand to preserve remaining farmland. She reiterated there are existing roads • for east to west travel. Ms. Miller-Crane stated Section 22-2-60.A of the County Code,Agricultural Goals and Policies, states the first goal is to conserve agricultural land for agricultural purposes • which foster the economic health and continuance of agriculture (A.Goal.1). She stated Section 22-2-60.B.A.Goal.2 is to support the development of creative policies to conserve agricultural land, • including preservation techniques and prioritizing incentives. goal to minimize cost to county tax • payers providing additional public services in rural areas for use that requires services on an urban • scale. She stated the economics of the County turning agricultural land into developed land does not make sense, since, in Colorado, development brings in$1.65 in infrastructure costs for every tax dollar brought in, whereas, agricultural land nearly doubles the revenue that it costs to deliver • services,and every dollar spent by agriculture turns over five fold in the local economy. Ms. Miller- Crane stated in Section 22-2-80.A of the County Code,Concerns of Development, it states conflicts • exist,particularly between residential development and existing rural land use,which can negatively • impact the County. She stated one can look at the Highland's Ranch area to see the effects of • over-development, and there is nothing to indicate travel patterns demonstrating a need for the proposed road. She encouraged the Board to consider conserving natural resources,open space, • and productive agricultural land. She further stated farmable land is a finite commodity, which • needs to be protected and preserved. • Ron Zaruba, property owner, stated he has lived in Weld County for 40 years and he worked for • the fire department for 20 years before retiring. Mr. Zaruba stated the study does not seem organized nor comprehensive. He stated development is inevitable; however, this road is going to impact a lot of people and land, in part, due to the number of trucks which will use road. Mr. Zaruba stated he has listed his property for sale and it has been on the market for eight • months. He explained his property is 40 acres in size, with a half mile of river running through it which is rich with wildlife. He stated the proposed roadway is the main concern of potential buyers. Mr. Zaruba submitted pictures of the property into the record as Exhibit A. He stated alternative • route#6 is the most sensible route. Mr. Zaruba stated there is an overabundance of wildlife on his • property, including approximately 15 bald eagles, several of which have started to live year round on the property. Ruby Stevens, property owner, stated the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will never approve this project due to the amount of wildlife in the area; therefore, it is a waste of the taxpayer's money to invest any further federal or state funding into the project. She stated there • is a family of eagles which return each year to nest in the same trees on her property, as well as . beavers and ferrets. Dwight Stevens, property owner, stated he worked as a real estate broker and construction • contractor; therefore, he is usually seeing the situation from another perspective. Chair Long stated this proposed road is just a concept at this time. Mr. Stevens stated a neighbor was not able • to plant his corn until June due to the high river this year, and if this route is selected, the County • will be dealing with high water levels. Chair Long stated it has been helpful to hear everyone's . input and he will take everything he has heard into consideration. Commissioner Masden thanked everyone for their testimony. • There being no further discussion, the hearing was completed at 11:14 a.m. • This Certification was approved on the 3rd day of October, 2007. 2007-3361 • EO0056 I 1 HEARING CERTIFICATION - COUNTY ROAD 24 ALTERNATIVE ALIGNMENT STUDY PAGE 6 1 1 APPROVED: 1 •ARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS D COUNTY, COLORADO ♦ 1 ATTEST: � � , �� `"i` Ce<A)) 4444/2 �"," .

The Miller Family Farm, LLC, and Catherine Miller own one of the four properties impacted by the Preferred Alignment,which is Alternative 4. Another member of the Miller family owns another one of the four properties impacted by Alternative 4. If the County Commissioners adopt Alternative 4, it will be placing a disproportionate burden on the Miller family for this project. Although the Public Works Department professes to have obtained public input on all of the proposed alternatives, studied all of the proposed alternatives, and evaluated all of the proposed alternatives, a comparison of the Weld County Strategic Roadways map, dated March 2004, to the current Weld County Strategic Roadways map, dated April 2007, shows that Alternative 4 was a foregone conclusion, prior to the corridor study and public hearings. The connection between Weld County Road 24 and Weld County Road 22 on both maps is shown in the same location as Alternative 4. This indicates that no consideration was given to the public input received, but rather, that the study and public input process was merely a formality undertaken prior to endorsing the alignment that had already been selected. The Miller family has been in this part of Weld County for generations. Elton and Catherine Miller purchased this particular property in 1954, and the family has farmed the property since that time. The farm is almost entirely irrigated. The family grows corn, grass and alfalfa, and runs 100 head of cattle on the property. There are oil and gas wells,and considerable wildlife, including Bald Eagles (a threatened species),wild turkeys and deer, on the property. One of the guiding principles in the County's Comprehensive Plan is: "Respect for our Agricultural Tradition,"which says: • Board of County Commissioners • September 24,2007 • Page 2 • The County has an agricultural tradition, as reflected by its ranking as one • (1) of the richest agricultural producing counties in the nation. Land use changes . are occurring and agricultural zoned land is being changed to accommodate residential, commercial and industrial development. As these new land uses • evolve, it is important that the established agricultural business and associated • infrastructures are allowed to continue to operate without additional constraints. • Individuals who move to these areas must realize that they will experience conditions and services unlike an urban setting and must be willing to accept this • lifestyle. • • Section 22-1-120(B). Weld County's Right to Farm Statement (Appendix E to the Comprehensive Plan) reinforces the concept that in Weld County agricultural uses are • valued. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes that there may be tensions and conflict • between agricultural uses and other development, but states that the role of County . representatives and officials is to reduce those conflicts. Alternative 4 does not comport with this guiding principle or the Right to Farm Statement, and instead forces agriculture • to be negatively impacted in the name of development. • The Miller family has no plans to sell the property, but rather, hopes to maintain the • agricultural nature of the property. If the County intends to construct Alternative 4 anytime in • the near future, it will have to purchase the necessary property from the Miller family, because • there will be no development application process related to the Miller property during which the County might force a dedication of right of way for Alternative 4. • • The County evaluators considered the alternatives based upon many criteria, including . safety, environmental impacts, land use consequences, such as parcel segmentation and fragmentation and disruption of improvements, constructability and cost. Alternative 4 crosses • the Miller property at an angle, dividing the property so that approximately 1/3 of the ownership • is on one side of the road and approximately 2/3 of the ownership is on the other side of the road. • This alignment will disrupt a cement ditch and a water line, and, potentially, some oil and gas wells. Alternative 4 crosses significant flood plain and wetlands. • • The quantitative information for all of the alternative alignments (attached) reflects that • there is not one alignment that rates better on every criteria, despite the County evaluators' unanimous ranking of Alternative 4 as their first choice. Alternative 4 is not the least expensive • alternative. It has the highest total footprint for wetlands/riverine presence. It does not have the • smallest wildlife footprint. Alternative 4 is the only alternative that was rated as "poor" for "access to bridge site";the others were fair or good. • If, in the future, the land is not farmed, the most likely use would be for gravel mining • and future water storage. Alternative 4 divides the property in such a way that this likely future use is greatly impacted and the value of the property is significantly diminished. • • It is disturbing that the County had a bridge over the South Platte River which connected . Weld County Road 22.5, providing the connectivity between County Road 24 and Highway 85 • • • 1 Board of County Commissioners September 24,2007 Page 3 1 that the County is seeking in this process, but, when the bridge was washed out by a flood in 1 1969, it was never rebuilt. Further, County Road 22.5 across the Miller property was vacated 1 about 15 years ago. In other words, the County had a right of way across the Miller property and 1 abandoned it as unnecessary. 1 There is every indication that the evaluators chose Alternative 4 as the Preferred Alignment because it crosses the fewest number of ownerships, and it crosses property that is the least developed, making it easier to acquire the necessary right of way. Thus, the Miller family is penalized for continuing the agricultural uses on their property and for not subdividing. 1 Although the County's Comprehensive Plan professes to value farming and agricultural uses, it is targeting the large agricultural ownerships for a roadway project to serve developing properties. The Millers believe that extending Highway 66 is a better alternative to connect I-25 to WCR 49, because there is already a bridge over the South Platte River and the need for the extension of Highway 66 is more immediate. 1 The Millers urge the Board to vote against Alternative 4 for the County Road 24 4 Alignment.

The nearest South 1 Platte crossings are located approximately 2 miles north and 3 miles 4 south of the study area on WCR 28 and WCR 18 respectively. State 4 highway crossings are located 3 miles north and 5.5 miles south of the 1 study area on SH 66 and SH 62 respectively. 1 The proposed corridor would provide a connection between the two 1 primary east/west routes (WCR 24 and WCR 22) of the existing Weld 4 County system. This connection and corridor would allow for devel- 1 opment of a primary transportation facility within the Weld County 1 system that: 4 • Serves the surrounding communities 4 • Connects two existing primary corridors 4 • Promotes economic development 4 • Reduces potential impacts of segmented development 1 4 • Provides for organized coordination with local municipalities, private industry and implementation of land use management practices 1 contained within the Weld County Code 1 4 • • • �, • r v a • C14 a • `� • • • 5 i tc • 4 M • E g (P CA m � on 1Z m e s M �� • N _ \ \ • 2 � o C• al U • V • 3 8VeN s' N i a • ;tr.

The authority granted by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners to administrate a "looking to the future" • Strategic Transportation System through the office of the Weld County Public Works • Department exemplifies a corridor connection disconnect. • • The County Study and their consultants are to conduct analysis to identify advantages and disadvantages of each alternative for the east west alignment study. Yet, evaluation criteria that could lead to an empirical analysis of the alternatives remains uncalculated, • unspecified, undersigned, far off in the future and mystical. • The so called "study area"Aliwunent Alternatives are an example of failing to evaluate • alternative over an area larger than a postage stamp. Little or no consideration is given to • developing the majority of the road alignment outside the flood plain or on the • escarpment on both sides of the Platte River. The engineering cost estimating and data • collection based of the evaluation criteria for the AliQmnent Alternatives remains unqualified and unquantified. • Consider the following; imagine that prices for oil increase and shortages of asphalt and • binding agents occur. The current alternative 3 option would require you to believe that developing a parallel road Wpm-rent to an existing Weld County Road 23 alignment two lane paved county road in the 100 year flood plain is justifiable.

The cowboy engineering practices fail to make so many connections that evaluating the foot print of the (toe of slope to toe of slope) road bed is, well, mysterious. Without conducting engineering that utilizes mathematical data and fails to utilize the evaluation criteria and an alternative cost analysis based on road design and specifications is "Cowboy Engineering". The project is less than strategic or well reasoned and the alternatives have done little to elucidate broader questions that include the list below and others: 1. Opportunities and Constraints Analysis Constructing Road Bed in High Ground Water Table Area (structural engineering). 2. Opportunity and Constraints Analysis in Constructing Road Bed in 100 year floodplain and (Floodplain Attenuation Mitigation). 3. Opportunities and Constraints of Creating Road Bed to Top of Pavement Dike Across South Platte Floodplain. 4.

Discussions with land owners within the study area and the consensus of the Weld County Board of Commissioners indicate that the preferred alignment and other alternatives be considered. Additional alignments have been developed and presented at a public open house in July of this year. Project Purpose and Need The purpose of this corridor study is to establish a preferred alternative for providing a connection between the WCR 24/WCR 23 intersection �1� and the WCR 22/U.S.85 intersection. The potential improvements £00 IM8 TRAEPQRTMIII1 would provide a new crossing of the South Platte River. The nearest to the FUTURE sirma Synod South Platte crossings are located approximately 2 miles north and 3 miles south of the study area on WCR 28 and WCR 18 respectively. State highway crossings are located 3 miles north and 5.5 miles south of the study area on SH 66 and SH 62 respectively. The proposed corridor would provide a connection between the two primary east/west routes (WCR 24 and WCR 22) of the existing Weld County system. This connection and corridor would allow for development of a primary transportation facility within the Weld County system that: • Serves the surrounding communities • Connects two existing primary corridors • Promotes economic development • Reduces potential impacts of segmented development • Provides for organized coordination with local municipalities, private industry and implementation of land use management practices con- tained within the Weld County Code 9 • • Weld County Road 24 Corridor Study SIGN-IN SHEET • Open House • September 10,2008 M:-Active 0.ogrtg5h@egk CaMafWCR24 Corridor Study IBb4Ny\Cugn,P,bk Prvof(SICN-IN SHEET dQSMeO • • CURRENT • NAME ADDRESS PHONE �y. • let ri sl �a/-/SA r1 f r /6275- U4 -2• �O� - d f �- .2.��0 • , QY\v, ;-Qp, Carl c,,1 lc-q'-S Lac lz- 93 r i � _c,....604-(3,,, (o1 D:tib1 ,30-)5-35 7-;J • 1,4-oulictc{J L_al tg4L \0IL C (L `R3 Lue-roiv Ste\ � ��S949) , l� civigEQ I I • � / • G / AhreRis i Oy4" 7 �'l 3 s - (-7 frri `4eCa/ 3@3 657 as • ;if< C,47�- -7 /8 ti (07, of Cc) i 97c) - 35 -/6 • Sc ., c&n l o; c��ckwds- - 30 5 7 - • rJ T �,�� ?9 9 7 R 2.5) he/50,./ 303-8517-12° 3 •• twin /0 f WP►D 69�, // 3O3-Wz-yj • W• 4rw ,iw+2 / /70 Yf NCI 22r 9 o3-857-Z, • P. of // n : 4/ , // v ' �: *+ a .593-85-7 tvic • 7 i u 333457- � �Pnb/l/ II 303- 2-`l6 • gn/ / 'tuMIK 7O @ / l c FrJe n, 06 ' K67-t/38' fit // fi /Ober ett,w, rr, /069/ WCZZ3 ±f.

Lupton, Colorado 80621 • (303) 442-4766 /(303) 857-2455 FAX 1 1 1 alternative straight line approach could have prevent these deaths and losses of lives. A 1 straight road is a safe road. It's an unfortunate consequence of the Weld County 24 Corridor Study that the criteria for determining a suitable alignment are so limited as to be meaningless and arbitrary. Another example of poor evaluating criteria is the proposed developing of the majority of the 3A road alignment in the 100 year flood plain. Although a superior straight line alternative alignment minimizes impact to the 100 year flood plain. The evaluation criteria and the study fails to recognize opportunity or a natural escarpment that links 4 both sides of the South Platte River. The professional engineer for the corridor study reasons that the county has roads in the 100 year flood plain and they get flooded so it is a mute point to have any concern that increasing the length of the road in the flood plain is troublesome. This type of logic is thrown in the face of a superior alternative requiring less impact to the 100 year flood plain and less future flooding. Meaningful criteria and logic such as engineering cost estimating and common sense are not evaluation criteria for the Align;nen.t Alternatives Team. Unqualified and un- 4 quantified and subjective cost estimating of the alignments is another example of failed criteria. Because costs of projects like these are rubber stamp procedures for Weld County Board of Commissioners the Engineering Departments is not required to study safer and more cost efficient alternative. The professional engineer assured us that the economics (costs) of project and its consideration is old school in Weld County Rubber Stamp land. Consider the following; the current Alternative 3A option would require you to believe that developing a parallel road alignment to WCR 23 and State Highway 85 and winding the road in the 100 year flood plain is a good idea. Common sense engineering or making attempts to build a smart, efficient and strategic transportation plan are not reflected in the Alternative 3A. Road systems of the future will be built considering multiple municipal needs and cooperative opportunities not willy nilly planning with meaningless evaluation criteria. Further, all of the identified alternatives have practice a wiggling aalignment bewildering a�hn in the flood plain while a superior alternative alignment requiring no curves is possible. These cowboy engineering practices have failed to make so many connections that Alternative 3A is ALTERNATIVE NUMBSKULL. Without conducting engineering that utilizes mathematical data, meaningful evaluation criteria, and alternative cost analysis based on road design and specifications an unsafe and inefficient alternative will be chosen. The project is less than strategic or well reasoned and the alternatives have done little to elucidate broader questions that include the list below and others: 1.

The study should fully evaluate costs, constraints and opportunities. Before the County runs off and builds another rubber stamp road common sense and numbers should be used to identify the proper alignment. Further, the Colorado Department of Transportations long range plans must be examined to properly evaluate any alternatives and the possibility of cooperative solutions and utilization of existing roadways. The identified alternative 3A fails to utilize existing roads or to consider a superior alternative. The connectivity alternatives are injudicious engineering studies that fail to responsibly consider meaningful evaluation criteria and so much more. We fear that the impacts to the Windell's on all of its adjoining properties have not been considered and that our plans are ephemeral to the County. Likewise, the County fails to consider the devaluation of our properties prior to the roads construction. Alignment 3A will cause blight on the Windell properties and cause equity losses to its properties. Each potential future sale of our properties will be clouded by Alignment 3A. Property sales will be depressed by the future building of the road. These impacts on the Windell's land holdings jeopardize the Windell family's future and business plans. Many of the combatants of the superior alignment are fearful of the losses of value in the property over the next decade prior to the roads construction. The County is unwilling to secure these properties in advance of the highways construction at fair market value and plays the heads we win tails you lose game with the land owners in its path. It's obvious from the Counties Representatives that the County has been given the authority to kill some people on the curves and steel equity from others. We can not endorse the 3A alignments given the lack of a reasonably sized study area and a great deal of lacking engineering data. The idea that wetlands on the section line impact where the alignment should go is silly. Finally,the Windell's have provided its Windell's Heritage Venture Plan to the County and were planning its development long before the County considered the 3A alignment. The impacts of the Counties plans on the Windell's Heritage Venture development will obviously be fader for the courts to work out between the Windell's and the County. We appeal to your reason, try to show good judgment.

Thank You Lavenia Temmer 10691 WCR 25 Ft Lupton, Colorado 80621 (303)-857-4384 t is b o, 4'E tA 12/8/2008 Comments Concerning WCR 24 Corridor Study and Selected Alternative 3A I. SELECTED ALTERNATIVE WOULD CREATE A NEW MAJOR ROAD LESS THAN 4/10'S OF A MILE FROM AN EXISTING ROAD THAT COULD BE USED. Alternative 3A would use what was once a railroad right-of-way to go south from WCR 24 to connect with WCR 22. This route is less that 4/10's of a mile from WCR 23,which is now the route to go south from the intersection of WCR 24 and WCR 23. This old right-of-way is now owned by abutting property owners and is a private access road that is used by the property owners and the oil companies that have production facilities on the surrounding properties. The county will have to expend funds to acquire a right-of- way along this route, when it already has a route just to the west. This would be a waste of taxpayer money and county funds. IL ALTERNATIVE 3A WOULD CREATE SAFETY HAZARDS FOR EXISTING RESIDENCES AS WELL AS NOISE, DIRT AND OTHER UNDESIRABLE IMPACTS. Alternative 3A as planned would eventually become a four lane road, with high speed traffic. This route comes close to existing residences that were planned and built to fit in with the road system as it now exists. Adding the proposed road would create problems for those residences that were not existing when the houses were built. It would come very close to some residences, would create the probality that vehicles would slip off the roadway and hit residences, create problems at night with headlights shining into residences, create traffic noise, dirt and dust where none existed when the houses were built. This part of the proposed road would be in the floodplain of the South Platte River and there would be fog and visibility/vision problems which would be a safety problem. The proposed road also crosses Little Dry Creek and one or two irrigation ditches which add to the fog and would increase the cost of the project. It would also create intersections on WCR 22 'A and WCR 25, for which there is no definite plan as to how the intersections would be designed or utilized. Originally, any use of the old railroad right-of-way was rejected because there could be hazardous materials in the right—of-way. No tests have been conducted to eliminate this possibility, but yet it is now selected. The hazardous material potential still exists and it should not now be ignored. It was sufficient to reject this route in the past and the possibility has not been eliminated. It should still be sufficient to reject this route. We have left part of the west end of our property in its natural state. We have lots of wildlife on our property and this route would come right through the area we have in its natural state. This road will have negative impacts on the wildlife in the area. This proposed road will also eliminate some of our most productive farmland. We have a hay field that is very productive that this route goes through. It would take a big chunk out of this field. Weld County is supposed to protect and promote agriculture and the agricultural heritage of the county. This route will destroy some of the agricultural production of this county. III. SELECTED ALTERNATIVE WOULD REQUIRE CONSTRUCTION OF AT LEAST THREE BRIDGES,ACQUISITION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY. Alternative 3A would be an entirely new route which would require the construction of a brand new road, acquisition of right-of-way and major bridge construction. It is in an area where no roads exist. We understand that road construction can cost in excess of one million dollars a mile, right-of-way can cost between 15 and 20 thousand dollars an acre, and bridges are outrageously expensive on top of that. The end result is that the selected option would be very expensive,millions and millions of taxpayer dollars, when there is an existing alternative that could be much less expensive. IV. WOULD ALTERNATIVE 3A REQUIRE AN ELEVATED ROADWAY? Alternative 3A goes through the floodplain of the South Platte River. We were required to build our home above the 100 year flood level. If the road is raised to that level, it would create a bather that would cause residences to be flooded that are in the vicinity of the new road. It is possible that residences on either side of the road could be plagued with this problem. V. ALTERNATIVE 2A WAS REJECTED ON A FALSE PREMISE We understand that alternative 2A was rejected because a bridge at WCR 22 '1 over the South Platte River would cause flooding of the Flanagan property. WCR 22 '/2 had a bridge over the South Platte River in the past. Reportedly it was destroyed by the floods of 1965, and 1966. Since there was previously a bridge here, it seems this would be a logical choice if there was to be a new bridge over the river,but it is insisted that this choice has been eliminated by the construction of the Flanagan Residence and outbuildings. Looking to the south at WCR 18, there is a bridge over the South Platte River that was recently rebuilt. Just to the south of that bridge is a residence and outbuildings on the west side of the river in a location quite similar to where the Flanagan buildings are in relation the WCR 22 'A. If a bridge can be built at WCR 18 that does not impact the residence and buildings to the south of it, then a bridge can be built at WCR 22 '1 that does NOT impact the Flanagan Property. VI. WOULD A BRIDGE AT WCR 22 CAUSE FLOODING PROBLEMS/ As mentioned above, Alternative 2A was rejected because of potential flooding problems. What about the proposed bridge at WCR 22? There are residences to the south that could be impacted, and if water is backed up to the south, its release could cause flooding to the north, where our residence is located. We are firmly opposed to having a bridge at WCR 22 over the South Platte River. VII. STUDY AREA THAT WAS DEFINED CREATED ARTIFICIAL LIMITS THAT PREVENTED CONSIDERATION OF OTHER VIABLE ALTERNATIVES. This corridor study was designed to connect WCR 24 on the West to WCR 22 to the East. This was a logical way to proceed because those two roads existed, and it made sense to use these existing assets. However, the study area created was a box of limited dimensions. We have all heard the phrase, "Think Outside the Box." The study area that was designed prevented this kind of thought and required thinking"inside the Box". This prevented looking at viable alternatives that are in existence beyond the artificial limits of the"Study Area". It was stated that a comprehensive transportation plan had been developed several years in the past and that is why there was a limited study area. Any plan to be viable has to be subject to modifications if a better way appears or is in existence. In this case, there is an alternative that makes more sense than the selected alternative and it is"Outside the Box" of the study area. VIII. WELD COUNTY HAS RECENTLY REDONE THE BRIDGES ON WCR 18 BETWEEN WCR 25 AND HIGHWAY 85. The bridge over the South Platte River and the bridge over an irrigation ditch on WCR 18 have recently been rebuilt. These bridges are only two miles south of the proposed bridge at WCR 22 over the river. These bridges are existing assets of Weld County and do not require the expenditure of millions of dollars to acquire. WCR 18 on the west side of Highway 85 is paved to its connection with WCR 23. West of WCR 23,WCR 18 is a gravel road. At the present time WCR 18 between WCR 23 and Highway 85 is the route that gets traffic from the intersection of WCR 24 and WCR 23 to Highway 85 and points to the East. This route has been entirely ignored in this study even though using this route would save millions and millions of dollars. IX. WCR 23 AND WCR 18 PRESENT A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO ROUTE 3A THAT WOULD SAVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. At the present time, WCR 24 ends at WCR 23 on the west side of the South Platte River. Traffic must then use WCR 23 to go South or North. Going South on WCR 23, traffic can then use WCR 18 to get to Highway 85 and points east. It is argued that the plan is to get to WCR 22 and that WCR 18 will not do because it does not get to WCR 49. This overlooks the fact that WCR 31 or WCR 37 could be used to connect to WCR 22. The route then would be from the intersection of WCR 24 and WCR 23, South on WCR 23 to WCR 18 then east to either WCR 31 or 37, then North to WCR 22, then East to WCR 49. This would eliminate the construction of at least three bridges, eliminate the need to acquire miles of right-of-way, and limit construction to creating some curves and paving some roadway. It would save millions of dollars, would eliminate impacts to existing residences, eliminate negative impacts to wildlife, the environment and would use existing assets of Weld County. We believe it is a superior solution that should be adopted and that alternative 3A should be rejected.

I just wanted to review what was stated during the meeting. The route 3A directly impacts our property. I did want it recorded that for the last 5 years it has been our intention to gravel this property and sell the water storage to local municipalities. Some of the companies and individuals we have been working with on this investment are Terracon, Flat Irons Engineering , Hart Environmental and Stillwater Resources. I have kept all documentation proving the time, resources and the personal expense involved. I also wanted it documented that we created three sell-able lots on the west end of the property. The new road will change lot lines and possibly devalue the price of these lots. It is our hope that the Board of Commissioners will reconsider other alternatives. As for route 3A or any other route affecting our property would be very costly to Weld County. We would like it noted, our vote for the 24 Corridor is route 4, 4A or 6. If route 3A is approved, we will be working with our condemnation attorney, Tim Flannagan and all future correspondence can be forwarded on to him. Please reply to this e-mail so I may ensure receipt. Additionally, once a final decision is made, please let us know. Thank you once again for your time.

The new road will change lot lines and possibly devalue the price of these lots. It is our hope that the Board of Commissioners will reconsider other alternatives. As for route 3A or any other route effecting our property would be very costly to Weld County. We would also like it noted, our vote for the 24 Corridor is route 4, 4A or 6. If route 3A is approved, we will be working with our condemnation attorney, Tim Fiannagan and all future correspondence can be forwarded on to him. Please reply to this e-mail so I may ensure receipt. Additionally, once a final decision is made, please let us know. Thank you once again for your time.

As a result, the automobile became almost the only way to travel, and traffic has increased exponentially, bringing with it congestion and frustration. Sixty-nine percent of the increase in traffic can be attributed to the unintended consequences associated with urban sprawl. Attempts to eases congestion with road building have only temporarily been effective. The heavy reliance on driving, that sprawl requires, has an impact far beyond today's traffic jams. Impacts to regional atmosphere and water ways is only now being understood by scientists. The effects of this mode of transportation are being linked to global warming and recent regional drought conditions. Weld County 24 3a is another example of a caveman transportation thinking. Land use comes first, then transportation. You build the transportation network to serve the kind of development pattern you want. You don't just build roads and watch what happens. A new book by the Congress for the New Urbanism, Civilizing Downtown Highways shows that local leaders in many states are winning the right to influence the design of state highways in there community. Transportation has a substantial DESIGN-BUILD—GROW 9999 Weld County Road 25 - Ft. Lupton, CO 80621 -(303) 442-4766 /(303) 857-2455 Fax impact on Americans' access to employment and environmental quality and local leaders are now considering options. Best practices developed by planners, transportation experts and notable public leaders are challenging the same old connect point A to B mentality. Weld County Road 24 3a is an example of the opposite of smart transportation and should be rejected for new ideas and input from additional experts. Weld County Road 24 3a fails the test of smart and will forever have people scratching their heads wondering why giant curves and developing new roadways in addition to the existing roadways in the flood plain was an economically favorable alternative. More curious is that the cost of WCR 24 3a increases the projects overall cost by 36% and jeopardizes public health and safety. Weld County Road 24 3a is another example of a highway being built to sustain sprawling suburbs and to add to our pollution and energy problem. Weld County is practicing an auto centric way of life that is unhealthy poorly planed (with irrelevant evaluation criteria) and perpetuates unsustainable practices. Our hope is that the commissioners will take another look at this alternative and work toward a plan that supports smart transportation and best practices that utilize existing road systems and cooperates with other regional transportation entities. This matter requires that the commissioners consider changing the group think of the past and consider the alternatives based on relevant criteria that evaluate cost constraints and efficient alternatives. We hope that you will extend more time to evaluate Weld County Road 24 3a alternative and seek in put and alternatives from other regional transportation directors to achieve a smart transportation system.

EXHIBIT 12/15/2008 10303 WCR No. 25 Fort Lupton, CO. 80621 December 11, 2008 Mr. Wayne Howard, County Engineer Weld County, Greeley, Colorado Dear Mr. Howard: Contention: That the proposed creation of a widened and paved road, known as proposal 3A, is an intrusive measure of substantial cost that does not effectively serve the people of Weld County. The current roadway is strictly a dirt/gravel service road which receives light use by energy companies tending energy sites and the rural landowners using access to their fields for crops and livestock. These same landowners own this former Railroad right-of-way. Landowners have not asked for their property to be potentially seized by Weld County to build such a roadway. To wit: Designation of the proposed roadway as strategic is exaggerated and pointedly is aimed at leading public to believe the proposal is imperative. More specifically, existing County Road 23 and 18 already provide the alleged need cited by the Weld County Planners. Enactment of the proposal would duplicate a capability already well-fulfilled by the roads just cited. The existing roads do, in fact, enable substantial north/south travel, as well as east/west travel across the South Platte River. 1. PAVING AND WIDENING SAID ROAD FOR POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL, BUSINESS OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL USE IS A SELF-SERVING AND UNWELCOME INTRUSION TO THE EXISTING DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY AND RURAL AMBIENCE OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA. 2. SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS OF REPARIAN AREAS/WETLANDS NEAR COUNTY ROAD 22.5 MAKE THIS AREA JUST AS UNDESIREABLE FOR NEW ROAD WORK AS THE RECENTLY REJECTED MILLER PROPERTY. 3. TRAFFIC NOISE AND DANGER WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE BY DEVELOPING ANE PAVING THIS ROADWAY. Weld County would be widening a country dirt road into an intrusive wide swath some 280 feet wide. Potential need to elevate this road above the flood plain is an additional trespass. Most roads in this area have practically no police presence whatsoever. The long-term reality of this area is for virtually no police presence due to the literal vast size of Weld County coupled with limited resources. This proposal to create this new paved road,while clearly duplicating other existing roads, provides and invites additional traffic and development to the area. When the alleged purpose is already fulfilled by the existing roads,there becomes no genuine or practical need for this proposed one. Moreover, it threatens to destroy still more of the traditional rural character of historic Weld County. Several million dollars of limited taxpayer money would be wasted on this unnecessary project. Area landowners should not be threatened by officials who may be compelled to build roads for roads sake, and in the name of development, rather then preserving the areas quiet, rural character.

I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY ASKING YOU TO STAND UP FOR DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY YES, THAT'S RIGHT, DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, AND BY THAT I MEAN I AM ASKING FOR YOUR PROTECTION....AGAINST PROPOSAL EXHIBIT 3 A, WHICH WOULD TRANSFORM A QUIET COUNTRY LANE INTO A MAJOR $# a FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY, WITH ITS NOISE AND SPEEDING TRAFFIC. tWt2in/ BUT WE NEED MORE ROADS, YOU SAY? YET THE PLANNERS AND OTHERS OVERLOOK THE CAPACITY OF EXISTING ROADS. THE FACT IS, COUNTY ROADS 23 AND BOTH 18 AND 28, WITH TWO SEPARATE BRIDGES ONLY A FEW MILES APART, CROSSING THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER, ALREADY FULFILL THE ALLEGED NEED. MYSELF AND NUMEROUS OTHERS, BELIEVE ME, ARE FINDING IT MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO SLEEP THESE DAYS. AND WHY IS THAT, YOU ASK? BECAUSE WE HAVE WOKEN UP & ARE TROUBLED BY THE THREAT THAT OUR OWN WELD COUNTY GOVERNMENT IS BENT ON CONSTRUCTING A BROAD ROADWAY, ALMOST THE WIDTH OFnA FOOTBALL FIELD, AT OUR DOORSTEP THAT IS TO SAY FRIGHTENINLY CLOSE TO OUR HOMES, OUR BACKYARDS....OUR CHILDREN AND OUR LIVESTOCK. I ASK SOLEMNLY THAT ALL INVOLVED. RENEW AND REMIND THEMSELVES OF THEIR SACRED TRUST TO GOVERN RESPONSIBLY. I ASK EACH COMMISSIONER &PLANNER HOW THEY WOULD FEEL WITH THIS HIGHWAY ON THEIR DOORSTEP? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? AMERICAN TRADITION CENTERS ON THE PEOPLE YET THIS ROAD DRAMATICALLY FAILS THAT SIMPLE TEST, FOR AN UNWANTED AND UNEEDED MAJOR HIGHWAY INTRUDING ON THE RURAL LANDSCAPE& TRODDING UPON ITS PEOPLE.... IS NOT.....OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, OR FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS, OUR OWN WELD COUNTY. RECOGNIZE THE PEOPLE HAVE NOT ASKED FOR THIS.... I SAY AGAIN, THIS MAJOR HIGHWAY, IS NOT FOR THE PEOPLE. AND SO.....I RESPECTFULLY CALL FOR THE CLEAR REJECTION OF PROPOSAL 3A OF THE COUNTY ROAD 23/24 CORRIDOR STUDY FOR THE GOOD OF DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY. December 2008 PETITION FOR DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY AGAINST PROPOSAL 3A We, the undersigned, do hereby sign this petition to stand up for the preservation of domestic tranquility in this rural area in which we reside and own property. Thus we are against the proposal known as 3A currently under nsideration by Weld County Supervisors and Planners which would widen to feet and pave the existing country lane which is the former Right-of-Way belonging to the Railroad. County Roads 23 north/south and 18 east/west across the South Platte River already serve any need for travel in this area. To pave the existing country lane and build a new bridge across the River would cost millions of dollars. This would only expend precious public tax dollars to no end, while inviting additional noise and traffic to this area which would lessen the quality of life. Additional noise and traffic are unwanted threats not only to our families but livestock and wildlife as well. 1. areyr) Li k I Io o3 Luce 2-5 rl.

I will do my best to make the 31st hearing but wanted to be sure my comments were placed into record so will send this email as a back up. I'm sure that you understand that no one wants a new 4 lane thoroughfare in their backyard but I do appreciate that you listened to the desperate comments at the 1st set of hearings and directed the study commission to investigate more options. I must say that while the new recommendation is still going to have an impact on us personally I do think it is much less problematic then the other options as it does the best of following the parcel lines and does not split the farms as the old recommendation had done. Once again I know we can not stop progress for our own needs and wants but not having to give up our house is a vital item for a couple that are getting on in their years and on somewhat of a fixed income. I will conclude by saying we find alternative 3A the least obtrusive of all the options for all the parties concerned and would encourage the Board to adopt this option for the Road 24 Corridor Study.

Additional noise and traffic are unwanted threats not only to our families but livestock and wildlife as well. 1. re71 Lbb1St 10303 LOCK 2r✓- F'r. Lur'rod Co. gob 2. )VJ 3,a .ER?
