Re: USR 1360
Dear Kim:
This letter is written in response to your letter to me dated October 1, 2001, and
our recent telephone conversation.
Specifically, I want to clarify my client's [Western Mobile Inc. (WMI)] request for
a Special Review Permit (USR-1360). WMI has applied for this permit in order to amend
USR 1199, which among other things approved the operation of a concrete batch plant.
Currently, the approved location for the concrete plant is north of Colorado Highway 119
and west of Weld County Road(WCR) 7. WMI is seeking approval from Weld County to
relocate the plant from the north to the south side of Highway 119, all within the boundary
of USR 1199. The company's request does not include the relocation of an asphalt plant.
Sincerely,
*Ivllchael J. ( ' e) Hart

USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
Answer:
Currently, the"Heaton"property is a 74.6-acre parcel that is part of Western
Mobile's (WMI's) Hamm Pit sand and gravel operation. The Hamm Pit operates
under USR#1199, which was approved by the Weld County Board of County
Commissioners on November 4, 1998 a copy of which is included with this
application. The approved Use by Special Review Permit allows, among other
things, open cut gravel mining and concrete batch plant operations. The approved
site plan for the concrete plant locates it on Lot "A"a 23-acre parcel situated north
of Colorado Highway 119 and west of Weld County Road Number 7 (WCR#7).
Through this Application for Use by Special Review, WMI is seeking
approval to relocate the concrete plant from the north to the south side of Highway
119, onto a 16-acre parcel at the east end of the Heaton property. The site will be
used to operate a ready-mix concrete plant and associated activities including, but
not limited to, the following:
• Sand and gravel stockpiles
• Maintenance garage facility
• Fuel storage tanks
• Administrative offices
• Truck parking
• Employee parking
The operation of this plant is intended to serve the ready-mix concrete market
of southwest Weld County in general and the 1-25 corridor in particular.
Sand and gravel for the concrete plant will be trucked to the site from nearby
sand and gravel pits operated by WMI. Water will be provided by the Left Hand
Water District as well as the water reservoir west of the site. Cement will be trucked
to the site from Cemex's Lyons cement plant.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,
Chapter 22.
Answer:
The proposed use is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Chapter
22 of the Weld County Code articulates the County's policies regarding mineral
resources development. In particular, CM Goal 5 states that the County's policy
"provide for timely reclamation and reuse of mining sites in accordance with this
Chapter and Chapters 23 and 24 of this Code."
As the sand and gravel resources permitted under USR 1199 are depleted,
reclamation of the Hamm/Heaton properties is under way. The goal of this
reclamation work is to support a number of post-mining land uses, including:
1. Wildlife habitat
2. Water storage
3. Ready-mix concrete production
When completed, reclamation of the Heaton property will support all of the above
uses.
The subject property is located within the Mixed Use Development (MUD)
area on land designated as"limiting site factors—lowest intensity."The property
lies within the 100-year flood plain of Saint Vrain Creek. Development of the
Heaton parcel avoids the Boulder and Saint Vrain Creeks' riparian corridor, as the
subject property is one-half mile east of the Creek. The proposed 16.4-acre parcel is
approximately 22% of the total Heaton property(74.6 acres) and equals 4% of the
land area originally permitted under USR 1199. Therefore, the proposed concrete
plant can be characterized as low intensity when viewed in the context of USR 1199
and the associated post mining land uses.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,
Chapter 23 and the zone district in which it is located.
Answer:
The subject property is zoned "A"Agricultural. The proposed use is allowed by
Special Review pursuant to Sec. 23-3-40(A.)(4.) of the Weld County Land Use
Code. Furthermore, as previously stated,USR 1199 approved the operation of a
concrete batch plant at the Hamm Pit. The purpose of this USR Application is to
relocate, within the original boundary of USR 1199, a use currently approved by the
Weld County Commissioners.
4. What type of uses surround the site?Explain how the proposed use is consistent and
r� compatible with surrounding land uses.
Answer:
Surrounding land uses are as follows:
• West—Sand and gravel pit under reclamation
• Northwest—Reclaimed sand and gravel pit
• North—Active sand and gravel pit
• Northeast—Fence construction business, bar, active sand and gravel
mining, and ready-mix concrete plant
• East—Vacant land
• Southeast—Farm ground and active sand and gravel pit
• South—Five-acre farmstead with house, reclaimed sand and gravel pit,
vacant land
• Southwest—Reclaimed sand and gravel pit, vacant land
The majority of the surrounding land uses are divided between active sand and
gravel pits or reclaimed sand and gravel pits. An existing ready-mix concrete batch
plant operates approximately one half mile northeast of the subject property.
