One of the items disccused was the width of the existing roadway. The Weld County standard for a gravel road is 26 feet in width. In evaluating the 2,000-foot section, there is live water on the north and two power poles on the south side that restrict the road width. WCR 47 goes into a dead end on the east side of the Weld County/Greeley Airport and the only users of the road is the Lystern family and their hired man. Patina is leasing this USR site from the family. Due to the low volume of traffic and that the road is not a through road, we are agreeable to reduce the standard width to 24 feet to accommodate two-way traffic with adequate turning radiuses at the intersection. The 24-feet width would make this project more doable without creating a major relocation of the power poles, ditches, and the existing splitter boxes associated with the irrigation system. The applicant is agreeable with all other items associated with the improvements agreeable. pc: Keith Meyer Tracy Dyer Kim Ogle USR-729 file WCR 64 file M:\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\Correspondence\memotofile-USR-729.DOC oZ1q 5 - cc199 Hello
