Re: Special Use Approval
Dear Jacqueline,
The following is a brief letter to give you a point of contact at Pioneer.
Per the proposal submitted to you by BritTara Land Company, Pioneer plans to operate
the rail siding to transport in and distribute landscape materials.
The existing rail siding and improvements are a good fit for Pioneers intended use. The
efficiency of rail to bring product in is becoming more important as fuel prices and traffic
congestion increase.
Pioneer currently operates 12 landscape materials stores along the front range from
Colorado Springs to Fort Collins. It is a privately held locally owned company, which has
been in business for over 30 years and employs an average of 350 people. The company
has an excellent record of customer service and a reputation for well-managed orderly
store locations. Pioneer is well known for it's fleet of newer, well maintained delivery
trucks.
The proposed location will be in the same style as Pioneers other locations. It will
provide a needed service along with employment opportunities and tax revenue for Weld
County.
Please contact me if you need additional information regarding Pioneer or the rail siding
proposal.
Sincerely,
�

RE: Case Number AmUSR-935
Name: Britta land Company LLC
For: Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit
Legal Description: lot A of RE-1331; part of E2 SW4 of section 36, T4N R68W
Dear MS. Hatch,
I live at 5301 WCR#38 and feel that this special use permit would have an adverse
impact on my property. The current use is as a grain elevator storage site which has little
impact on surrounding property owners. My understanding is the applicant would like to
run a high volume of trucks into and out of this site and use the site as a fly ash transfer
point.
The special review permit should include the fallowing restrictions to minimize the
impact on the surrounding property owners:
1) Restrict the number of truck trips allowed per day.
2) Restrict the operation to day light hours only.
3) Restrict the site to landscaping materials only.
4) No power plant fly ash allowed on the site.
5) Restrict the amount of dust and air born particulates which can be generated on
the site.
Thank your for your consideration. I can be reached at 303-931-8951 if you need
additional information or clarification.

The Department of Planning Services requests for changes to the existing staff
comments.

2.A.1 Section 22-2-170.C C Goal 3 — Address the compatibility of commercial
land uses with adjacent land uses. There are three homes in close proximity to
the site and a minor subdivision for nine residential lots (MF-1017 Stamp) is
located directly to the north of the site. USR-935 was originally approved in
1999 1991 for an agricultural service establishment (agricultural and supply
business). Staff has noted that since August 2002 it does not appear that the
site has been utilized. The proposed amendment consists of expanding the use
to include the storage and sale of landscape material.
