Dear Sir:
On May 1, 2002,we received a letter regarding case number USR-1388. We have found the
development plan to be very disturbing and unacceptable to us.
Approximately one year ago,we moved from the city of Arvada,CO to 3678 W.C.R. 29 to a 1921
farm house on acreage. This was done to live in a quiet agricultural area on a dead end county road.
After checking in to Wiley Trucking,we learned that they consist of 4 large diesel dump trucks
with pup trailers. They also plan to expand by adding 1 more truck. We do not relish the thought of
turning a quiet area into a commercial or industrial zone with loud and excess traffic driving by our
home 5 to 6 days a week. Currently our home is surrounded by farms,which allows for a quiet life
style.
The Wiley's have given us a copy of their development plan. According to the plan,the entire
truck business and maintenance shed is to be located on the North end of the property,approximately
150 feet from our home. Their operation begins at 6:00 A.M. and runs 5 sometimes 6 days a week.
It would take many years for the 3 to 4 foot pine trees to block out this operation and would do
nothing to decrease the loud noise of the diesel trucks.
We have noticed from their proposal that all of the noisy and unsightly equipment from their
operation is to be placed at the North end of the property by our home. Their home and a horse barn
are to be placed at the South end of the property,isolating them from the trucking business.
We also believe that allowing this property to be developed into an industrial zone will decrease
the value of our home and property. No one in their right mind would buy a home in the country to
live next to a dump truck business.
County Road 29 in this area is a narrow dirt road which often gets wet from irrigation and trucks
of this magnitude would tear it up during daily use. The Wiley's indicated in their proposal that their
dump truck business is the same as agricultural businesses. We would have to strongly disagree. At
the current time,the entire area is planted in alfalfa which requires cutting 3 times a year,not the 5 to
6 days a week year round that the trucking business requires.
We strongly object to this proposal. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Do .mac. , .Prralt

Case Number: USR-1388
Weld County Department of Planning Services
1555 N. It Avenue
Greeley, Colorado 80631
We own property at 14746 Weld County Road 8 and we object to changing the use of this nearby property
to a trucking company. There are many commercial zones available for this type of business and we feel it
would only add to the traffic on our local roads which are not designed for commercial truck traffic.
We also feel a decision to allow commercial trucking to operate on this property would set a bad precedent
for future decisions regarding the use of property in this community.

To the Department of Planning Services I am writhing to inform you that I am extremely opposed to the
plan development of commercial and industrial zoning, and (Trucking Company) In the A(Agricultural)
Zone District.
I have been living at 14020 WCR 10 for more then 10 years and my family for more then 30 years. This
is our home and to make it an industrial Zone area is outrageous. Not only does it lower our property
value, but also it is very dangerous for our family and pets and live stock. I have 3 kids ages 10, 8 and 4
and I feel having a trucking company move in would be very dangerous for my kids. They wait to catch
the to school bus on the very same road these big trucks would be driving through.
Having this trucking company move in would also destroy our roads and cause noise and air pollution. I
am also sick and tired of having the windshields on my cars broken by these big trucks. If this plan
where to pass I would seriously question our representation at the Planning Department. I am confident
the powers that be, will not allow this to happen.

RE: CASE NUMBER: USR-1388
NAME: Edward & Deloris Wolfe/Wiley Trucking
We are writing in regard to the above request . We ' re
definitely in opposition to changing the present Agri-
culture Zoning to Commercial or Industrial Zoning. At
this location Road 29 is a "Half Road . " In a conversa-
tion with Fort Lupton ' s Postmaster, Bruce Fitzerald,
he quite concerned as to the affect such a zoning change
would have for the mail carrier. Our other concern is
the small bridge over the Fulton Ditch on Road 29 . Heavy
commercial/industrial traffic would have an adverse
affect on this bridge.
Thank you.

p. s . Jan Wiley spoke with Ft. Lupton "Post Master" on June 13th in person
(Bruce Fitzgerald) and any concerns Mr. Fitzgerald may have had
appear to be satisfied. This was prompted by Mr. Bissell ' s letter
received by your office June 12th. Mr. Wolfe has spoke with Mr.
Bissell & explained in detail the small area the USR will occupy
& that the farm .will continue to be used for agriculture by the
Wiley' s along with being their personal residence . Mr . Bissell
told Mr. Wolfe he had not read information provided to him by the
Wiley' s weeks ago & presumed the farm would be changed to an
industrial property. Do not know if the Bissell ' s will attend
hearing .

On the preliminary recommendation you emailed to Toni Thieman, page 8 item #20, hours of
operation, please be advised the 6am start time listed is not including wamr-up time on the trucks. Our
drivers usually arrive between 5:30-5:45 to pre-trip and start the trucks. Trucks leave the yard at 6am
Monday through Friday. As I mentioned,our operational hours are tied to the gravel pit hours, usually 6
am to 4 pm. Occasionally pits start at 7 am for winter months, but that is their corporate decision_ Our
trucks are usually parked by 5 pm unless a driver is tied up in traffic. I also would like to disclose that
on two occasions in the past 17 years we have had a truck called out on an emergency water main
break from approximately 8 pm to 11 pm. I have no way to anticipate this kind of situation, but perhaps
—• an emergency variance could be noted in our review summary.
Please call me if you have any questions, 303 659-8414.
