If a question does not pertain to your use, please respond with"not applicable",with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable. 1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. There are two uses that are proposed for the property which are considered agricultural service establishments, a livestock trailer washout facility and truck terminal. The livestock trailer washout facility will be located to the north of the truck terminal. Approximately 10 trailers a day will be washed and there will be five bays. The washout is for trucks owned or operated by LW Miller and is for private use only. It takes approximately one hour to wash out a truck and 3,000 gallons of water. A water storage tank will be located onsite which ensures adequate pressure will be available. North Weld Water suggested the use of a water storage tank. The primary use of the washout is for the inside of the trailers,there will only be a quick rinse for the outside of the trailers. Once the trailers are washed out they will be taken to the terminal bay and a final wash will be done. The water from the terminal bay will be pumped to the reception pit. The truck terminal will consist of office space for the dispatch operations of LW Miller, which hauls livestock from feedlots to processing plants.The shop space will provide minor repair as well as support operations. All wastes, such as oil, will be collected and picked up by an outside agency such as Safety Kleen. Parking space for the company owned trucks will be provided for approximately 50 trucks 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 22(Comprehensive Plan). Section 23-2-40 states the benefits of the agricultural industry in Weld County. Sections 23-2-40.6.3 and 6.D reiterate the benefits that transportation services provide to the agricultural industry. Transportation is an important aspect of the livestock industry as animals are hauled to processing plants as well as to and from feedlots and dairies. There is a need for a livestock washout facility in Weld County due to the numerous amounts of livestock related operations in the County. Section 22-2-601.A.Policy.1.1 states in part"Agricultural zoning is intended to provide areas for agricultural activities and other uses interdependent upon agriculture." A livestock washout facility and truck terminal is directly related to and dependent upon the agricultural industry. Section 22-2-60.3.A.Policy.1.3 states in part "Agricultural businesses and industries will be encouraged to locate in areas that minimize the removal of agricultural land from production. Agricultural business and industries are defined as those which are related to ranching, livestock production, farming and agricultural uses." The parcel proposed for the livestock washout facility and truck terminal is a part of the larger farm that is not viable to farm due to irrigation patterns. 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 23(Zoning)and the zone district in which it is located. The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A(Agricultural)Zone District. Section 23-3-40.B of the Weld County Code provides for Agricultural Service Establishments primarily engaged in performing agricultural, animal husbandry,or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis as a Use by Special Review in the A(Agricultural)Zone District. The proposed facility will support the livestock industry which is consistent with the intent of the agricultural zone district. 4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. The surrounding uses consist of agricultural operations such as onion storage, farming and feedlots. The Greeley/Weld Airport is located to the west. As the proposed facility is located in the airport overlay zone there will not be any new residential uses located in close proximity to the livestock trailer washout facility and truck terminal. 5. Describe, in detail, the following: a. How many people will use this site? The livestock trailer washout will have approximately ten drivers a day utilizing the site. The truck terminal will consist of fifteen drivers dispatched from this site, two mechanics and four office staff. b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? Six. c. What are the hours of operation? The livestock trailer washout hours will be 6AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday. The truck terminal will operate from 7 AM to 8 PM daily. d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built)on this site? A shop/office of approximately 10,300 square feet in size will be constructed. Five outside bays for the truck wash will be built. e. What type and how many animals, if any,will be on this site? None. f. What kind (type, size, weight)of vehicles will access this site and how often? Ten empty livestock trailers a day will utilize the trailer washout. Approximately fifteen to twenty livestock semi-trucks and trailers could potentially utilize the truck terminal. Six passenger car type vehicles for employees would access the site during hours of operation. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site? Western Hills Fire Protection District. h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation). A tap from North Weld County Water District is available. A letter from the District has been submitted in conjunction with this application. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed). An individual sewage disposal system is proposed for the shop/office building. The livestock trailer washout will consist of a solid separator system and lagoon similar to what is used at livestock confinement operations. A certificate of designation is not required for this facility. A groundwater discharge permit has been applied for through the State Health Department and will be approved prior to operation of the truck wash. J. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of Items will be stored? Trucks may be parked over night while in transit to another facility. Fuel will be stored onsite and storage units will meet all County, State and Federal regulations. A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure(SPCC)plan will be submitted. A water storage tank will be used to transfer water from the tap to the livestock washout. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal. A minimal amount of landscaping is proposed due to the amount of heavy truck traffic that will be utilizing the site. Landscaping is indicated on the attached landscape plan. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. Should the facility be permanently discontinued for use as a livestock washout facility/truck terminal, it would be marketed under applicable county planning and zoning regulations to its greatest and best use. 8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. Stormwater detention is planned in the southwest corner of the property. The site will be graded to allow offsite historic drainage to be diverted around the developed site and to contain the developed site's runoff within the proposed stormwater detention. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. Construction of the new facility is anticipated to begin as soon as the plat is recorded. It will take approximately six months to build out the site, depending on weather conditions. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. A limited amount of waste material may be stored on site from the truck terminal. A waste handling plan will be submitted to Weld County Department of Health and Environment for approval. The plan will indicate wastes generated,type and volume of chemicals to be stored onsite and the waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed of. Odor Potential Odors result from the natural decomposition processes of waste products such as manure, which will be the odor-generating product, associated with the truck wash. Although occasionally unpleasant, odors are not dangerous to health in the quantities customarily associated with animal waste products. The odor potential for the truck wash will be significantly less then the existing adjacent feedlots as the amount of manure will be considerably less then what is generated at a feedlot. L.W. Miller will use the methods and management practices listed below for odor control: 1. Reduce standing water Standing water can increase microbial digestion and odor producing by-products. Proper maintenance and surface grading will be conducted by the facility to reduce standing water. No chemical additives or treatments of the pond for odor control are planned. Research to date indicates poor efficiency, if any, of these products. 2. Land application tinting Typically air rises in the morning and sinks in the evening. L.W. Miller will consider weather conditions and prevailing wind direction to minimize odors from land application. If Weld County Health Department determines odor conditions persist, L.W. Miller may increase the frequency of the respective management practices previously outlined. Additionally, if nuisance conditions continue to persist beyond increased maintenance interval controls, L.W Miller will install physical or mechanical means such as living windbreaks and/or solid fences to ,further minimize nuisance conditions from odors. PROCEDURES LW MILLER TRUCK TERMINAL AND TRAILER WASHOUT FACILITY The trailer washout facility will be used to flush out the inside of the livestock trailers and to rinse off the exterior of the trailers. Trailers entering the facility will back into the sloped washout ramp, the access doors at the bottom of the trailers are opened and a cold- water hose is taken into the trailer to flush the manure out and to rinse the interior clean. The hose is then taken outside and the exterior is then rinsed with the cold water. When the truck is pulled out of the ramp the surrounding area is rinsed and the manure is flushed into the holding tank. The area will be fenced and employees of LW Miller Trucking will control access. The wash bay in the terminal building will be used to wash the exterior of the trucks and trailers after they have been rinsed at the trailer washout facility. The exterior will be washed using standard pre-soak, soap, and rinse procedures. There will be neither engine nor parts cleaning in the wash bay. PHOTOS OF EXISTING L.W.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Hancock& Associates, USR—Preliminary Drainage Investigation To Whom It May Concern: The purpose of this letter is to address drainage concerns within and around the proposed development for Hancock& Associates. The development of the Hancock&Associates site will consist of a commercial trucking office/maintenance building, associated graveled parking area and a truck washout. The site lies within an existing drainage basin tributary to the Cache La Poudre River The existing drainage basin consists of approximately 71 acres and is bound to the south by State Highway 263,to the west by Weld County Road 47, to the north by Weld County Road 62 and to the east by an access road running parallel to the site. This drainage basin consists of primarily irrigated farmland_ The Primary source of irrigation is a circular sprinkler system, there is also a small portion of the basin that utilizes flood irrigation All irrigation utilizes water from surrounding areas and does not greatly impact the drainage basin. Historically, runoff from this drainage basin flows at a max rate of approximately 5.3 cubic feet per second(cfs)for the 5-year storm event and approximately 45.2 cfs for the 100-year storm event. The proposed site will utilize a detention basin to control excess flows created by the reduction in imperviousness and will meet the Weld County Land Use Regulations which state, the site must detain the stormwater runoff from a 100-year storm event and release it at a quantity and rate not to exceed the existing(historical) 5-year storm event. The required detention basin,based on these regulations, has volume of approximately 0.33 acre-feet. This detention and release scenario results in an.approximate 10%reduction in the historical runoff release rate for the larger storm event and the historical release rate for the smaller storm event_ Your "Pro Ax"Environmental Professionals FROM : FAX NO. : Feb. 13 2004 03:23PM P3 February 13, 2004 r Page 2 If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call, Sincerely, 441 p14 '"F Matt Cain Eric W. Dunker, P.E. Civil Engineer Environmental Engineer • August 19, 2003 Weld County Planning 1555 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: Special Use Permit for Truck Terminal Dear Sheri Lockman: Our clients, Hancock and Associates, would like to amend the Special Use Permit for the truck terminal to include a truck wash for ONLY the trucks that will utilize the truck terminal. I have spoken with North Weld County Water and they will supply the water but if the wash uses over 228,000 gallons they will have to pay a surcharge and a conservation charge. Tom Haren has spoken with the State Health Department as well as Trevor Jiricek of the Weld County Health Department to determine if a Certificate of Designation would be required. A determination has not been made at this time. Since we have the water and the State is determining whether a CD is required we would like to include the truck wash at this time and request a development standard that the truck wash can not be utilized until the State and the County determines whether a CD is required. A development standard could also be included which limits the use of the wash to only trucks dispatched for L.W. Miller trucking. The addition of the truck wash to the application will not affect any other referrals as nothing will change regarding traffic or number of trucks. Only the State Health Department and Weld County Health Department would be affected. By requesting the truck wash at this time the lagoon could be appropriately sized and the wash could be built at the same time the terminal building was constructed. If you have any questions, please call me at LANDPROfessionals, LLC at (970) 535-9318 and we can discuss.

If a question does not pertain to your use, please respond with"not applicable",with an explanation as to why the question is not applicable. 1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property. The proposed truck terminal for the property is considered an agricultural service establishment. The truck terminal will consist of office space for the dispatch operations of L.W. Miller Greeley Inc.,which hauls live cattle and hogs from feedlots to processing plants. The shop space and exterior truck wash will provide minor repair and support operations. Parking space for the company owned trucks will also be provided for approximately 30 to 40 trucks. 2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 22(Comprehensive Plan). Section 23-2-40 states the benefits of the agricultural industry in Weld County. Sections 23-2-40.B.3 and 6.D reiterate the benefits that transportation services provide to the agricultural industry. Transportation is an important aspect of the livestock industry as animals are hauled to processing plants as well as to and from feedlots and dairies. There is a need for this truck terminal in Weld County due to the numerous amounts of livestock related operations in the County. Section 22-2-601.A.Policy.1.1 states in part"Agricultural zoning is intended to provide areas for agricultural activities and other uses interdependent upon agriculture." The proposed truck terminal is directly related to and dependent upon the agricultural industry. Section 22-2-60.3.A.Policy.1.3 states in part"Agricultural businesses and industries will be encouraged to locate in areas that minimize the removal of agricultural land from production. Agricultural business and industries are defined as those which are related to ranching, livestock production,farming and agricultural uses." The parcel proposed for the truck terminal is a part of the larger farm that is not viable to farm due to irrigation patterns. 3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 23(Zoning)and the zone district in which it is located. The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the A(Agricultural)Zone District. Section 23-3-40.6 of the Weld County Code provides for Agricultural Service Establishments primarily engaged in performing agricultural,animal husbandry,or horticultural services on a fee or contract basis as a Use by Special Review in the A(Agricultural)Zone District. The proposed facility will support the livestock industry which is consistent with the intent of the agricultural zone district. 4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible with surrounding land uses. The surrounding uses consist of agricultural operations such as onion storage, farming and feedlots. The Greeley/Weld Airport is located to the west. As the proposed facility is located in the airport overlay zone there will not be any residential uses located in close proximity to the truck terminal. 5. Describe, in detail, the following: a. How many people will use this site? The truck terminal will consist of thirty drivers dispatched from this site,two mechanics and four office staff. b. How many employees are proposed to be employed at this site? Six c. What are the hours of operation? The truck terminal will operate from 7 AM to 8 PM daily. d. What type and how many structures will be erected (built)on this site? One building will be constructed which will consist of a shop/office of approximately 10,000 square feet. There will also be a 12,000 gallon fuel tank located on-site. e. What type and how many animals, if any, will be on this site? None. f. What kind (type, size, weight)of vehicles will access this site and how often? Approximately thirty to forty livestock semi-trucks and trailers could potentially utilize the truck terminal. Six passenger car type vehicles for employees would access the site during hours of operation. g. Who will provide fire protection to the site? Western Hills Fire Protection District. h. What is the water source on the property? (Both domestic and irrigation). A tap from North Weld County Water District is available. What is the sewage disposal system on the property? (Existing and proposed). An individual sewage disposal system is proposed for the office building. The water from the exterior truck wash will be circulated through a screen and oil/grease trap and into a lined evaporative pond. j. If storage or warehousing is proposed, what type of items will be stored? Trucks may be parked over night while in transit to another facility. Fuel will be stored onsite and storage units will meet all County, State and Federal regulations. A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure(SPCC) plan will be submitted. 6. Explain the proposed landscaping for the site. The landscaping shall be separately submitted as a landscape plan map as part of the application submittal. Section 23-2-240 of the Weld County Code states"Buffering or screening of the proposed use from adjacent properties may be required in order to make the determination that the proposed use is compatible with the surrounding uses. Buffering or screening may be accomplished through a combination of berming, landscaping, and fencing." As mentioned previously in this report the surrounding uses consist of agricultural operations such as onion storage,farming,feedlots and the Greeley/Weld Airport is located to the west. The proposed facility is located in the airport overlay zone so there will not be any residential uses located in close proximity to the truck terminal. Many of the land uses that are located adjacent to State Highway 263 are industrial type uses. The property owners also own the majority of farmland surrounding the proposed truck terminal. Due to the nature of the requested use no landscaping is proposed for the site. The property will be fenced with chainlink for security. The truck terminal building would not be appropriate to locate landscaping adjacent to,as trucks will be in and out of the bay area of the building. Landscaping at the entrance to the facility would not be appropriate due to trucks turning into the terminal. The areas that are not surfaced with gravel will be maintained in native grasses. Due to the surrounding land uses, location in the airport overlay zone and present property owners owning adjacent farmland,the applicant believes the addition of landscaping to this site would not make the use any more compatible with surrounding uses. Therefore no landscaping is proposed. 7. Explain any proposed reclamation procedures when termination of the Use by Special Review activity occurs. Should the facility be permanently discontinued for use as a truck terminal, it would be marketed under applicable county planning and zoning regulations to its greatest and best use. 8. Explain how the storm water drainage will be handled on the site. Attached is a stormwater drainage letter from registered engineer, Eric Dunker. 9. Explain how long it will take to construct this site and when construction and landscaping is scheduled to begin. Construction of the new facility is anticipated to begin as soon as the plat is recorded. It will take approximately six months to build out the site, depending on weather conditions. 10. Explain where storage and/or stockpile of wastes will occur on this site. A limited amount of waste material may be stored on site from the truck terminal. A waste handling plan will be submitted to Weld County Department of Health and Environment for approval. The plan will indicate wastes generated,type and volume of chemicals to be stored onsite and the waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed of. 4311 Highway 66, Suite 4 Longmont, CO 80504 Office (970) 535-9318 Denver (303) 485-7838 Fax: (970) 535-9854 AGPROfessionals, LLC July 8, 2003 Weld County Department of Public Works 1111 H Street P.O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Hancock & Associates, USR—General Drainage Description To Whom It May Concern: The development area at the Hancock& Associates site will be limited to approximately five acres. The site is relatively flat, although historically, drainage has been to the southwest. The development will include a shop building with surrounding concrete apron and gravel drives and parking areas. By utilizing gravel, instead of paved parking and drives,the drainage impact will be significantly reduced. Stormwater detention is planned in the southwest corner of the property, up to the developed 100-year storm amount and released at the historic 5-year rate. The site will be graded to allow offsite historic drainage to be diverted around the developed site and to contain the developed site's runoff within the proposed stormwater detention. If you have any questions, please call. Sincerely, y Eric W. Dunker, P.E. Environmental Engineer Your "Pro Ag"Environmental Professionals RECEIVED JUN 3 0 2003 ,r, June 25, 2003 Gloria Hice-Idler Region 4, Access Manager Traffic Section Colorado DOT 1420 2'" Street Greeley, CO 80631 RE: LW Truck Dispatch & Maintenance Center EGA031157 Dear Ms. Hice-Idler: I am writing this letter to inform you of the anticipated traffic volumes to be generated by the proposed truck dispatch and maintenance center located in Weld County north of Highway 263 between County Roads 47 and 49. As we discussed during several conversations regarding this development, it is not anticipated that the volumes generated by this site will warrant a traffic study, but you wanted to have documentation of the anticipated trips for the design file. The following information was obtained from the applicant and is the best information we have regarding the anticipated future volume loads for the property and surrounding roadway system. I spoke with Mr. Phil Hancock with Hancock and Associates who is the applicant. He indicated that there will be six employees at the site indicating six ingress trips during the a.m. peak and six egress trips during the p.m. peak. Similarly, there will be a maximum of 15 trucks dispatched per day. Mr. Hancock informed me that these are typically dispatched over a three hour period during the a.m. peak from 4:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and would typically return during a three hour period between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. in the evening. This volume of 15 trucks is a maximum and will not be generated on a daily basis. The site will have one access on to Highway 263 on the south end of the property and it is anticipated that the trip distribution will be split evenly east and west for both employees and dispatched trucks. As I understand your volume load requirements for turn lanes, the volumes generated by this development to not appear to warrant any roadway improvements. If, after reviewing this information, you require further analysis or information, please contact me and we will provide whatever else is needed. Thank you for your time regarding this matter, if you have any questions please call me at (402) 561-2316. Sincerely, Ehrhart Griffin &Associates 0061 Todd R. Pfitzer, P.E. P. . .E.

I have made a short review of the proposal and offer the following comments. 1.The parcel is in very close proximity to the Greeley-Weld County Airport, which you already know,and is located within the Airport Zoning Overlay District. The height of objects in this area would therefore be restricted. I could not tell you the maximum height allowable in this area without more information about the site and structural elevations,but I cannot imagine that a truck wash would be tall enough to be of concern in this matter,but I would reserve my formal opinion until after seeing that Information. 2.There would be concern about lighting,as the airports primary aircraft traffic pattern appears to lie directly over this parcel. We would need to review the number and type of lighting,wattage,and aiming of the fixtures, to ensure it did not interfere with nighttime flight operations over the property. I assume that a referrel from Weld County would come our way eventually,at which time we would submit formal comments or concerns on this matter. I do not however foresee that this would be a big proble for the airport, provided we could work out the above issues. I appreciate your concern in this matter and in contacting me concerning it. It will most definately make the process for your client easier in the end. Please call me at 336-3001 if I can offer any additional assistance.
