Greeley, CO 80634 RE: Spicer Ranches, Ltd. USR Roger, As per our conversation yesterday, I am preparing this letter to summarize my conversation yesterday with Bob Bennett of Drexel Barrel engineering. According to Drexel Barrels initial studies of the Lone Tree Creek Basin, the Flood Way is estimated as 150' from Centerline of the Creek. The basin is 537 square miles. The gauge located south of our property has not registered more • than 600 cff over the last 7 years that it has been in place. His preliminary study is based on 12,000 cff and he is expanding the model to include 19,000 cff. He did indicate that a memo he received from Brian Varrella at Public Works stated that the basin is not subject to Snow Melt Flooding. It would be strictly a volatile summer storm that would cause flooding in,this area. He expects his study to be complete and resubmitted to FEMA by March. He also confirmed that the base flood elevation is still consistent with the 4806' elevation that was used when building the arena. The arena and area for the portable toilets are above the flood plain elevation and the portable toilets are located outside of the flood way. We will also take precautions to secure the portable toilets to the building so there will be no chance of them being swept away in a storm.

David Meyring, anagin eneral Per Spicer Ranches, LTD. • Linda, • Thank you for meeting yesterday to discuss the Spicer Ranches Use by Special Review. In our discussion many issues were raised including concerns from the Weld County Department of Building Inspection, Public Works, Public Health and Environment and Planning Services. With these concerns taken into effect Spicer Ranches would like to operate while proceeding through the Use by Special Review process understanding the potential liabilities and associated consequences with the points raised by the referral agencies. If evidence is provided that all the named referral agencies have little concern with Spicer Ranches operating while in violation and Spicer Ranches and all related entities release Weld County from liability the Department of Planning Services will allow the operation to continue until April 10, 2008; at which point Spicer Ranches will cease operation on a commercial scale until the Use by Special Review is approved by the Board of County Commissioners and the plat recorded. Please provide a PDF version of the map provided at the meeting which shows the preliminary Floodway, letter assuming liability, letter releasing Weld County from liability and letter asking for a continuance until the April 1, 2008 Planning Commission hearing. If you have additional concerns or questions please do not hesitate to • contact me to discuss your Use by Special Review land use case; I look forward to working with you in the near future.
