Weld County Rd. 4 with Annexations 1 —3 west of the Interstate 76 right-of-way and
access road, and Annexation 4 east of the Interstate 76 right-of-way. The Town of
Lochbuie is adjacent to the Property along all lands bordering I-76 and along the eastern
portion of Annexation 1 where the current Town wastewater plant is located. A portion of

associated outbuildings are the only current uses found on the Property. A historic
drainage way across a portion of this Property was identified in the Town of Lochbuie
