This facility has been operating for over a year in the current area without proper zoning or tax income to the county. There are no facilities for classrooms at the site The roads are not designed to support the heavy truck traffic and are being heavily damaged by the heavy traffic of trucks making them washboard and kicking up dust into my home. The roads are not wide enough to turn into the facility without swinging wide into oncoming traffic lane which is a severe traffic hazard. There are no turn lanes into the facility nor are there any traffic signs or signals. I do not feel that we as local land owners should be taxed to upgrade any roads to support the added use of the facility for an individual person or reason. The student drivers are slowing and stopping on the surrounding roads causing safety hazards. The area is currently zoned agriculture and should remain as is. In conclusion I do not object to someone trying to start a business but the area is not suited for this kind of activity .There is already an industrial park just 5 miles away on the east edge of the town of Hudson that would be much better suited for this kind of activity Sincerely James m Thomson 7700 wcr 53 Xeenesburg co 80643 EXHIBIT Sr , f 7 It f,.

R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, ' Colorado LOCATION: South of and adjacent to WCR 18 and approximately 1/4 mile East of WCR 53 D. To Weld County Commissioners/Weld County Planning Services& Other Pertinent Agencies: it I am writing in objection to the re-zoning of the above mentioned property. I; i. Item 1: This business has been running for more than one(1)year; illegally. , k' 4 Item 2: This business has been using Weld County and Colorado State roads for driving school and I assume they have not been paying any special road tax or fuel tax for this privilege. h Item 3: Said location is not zoned for this type of business. m Item 4: Said location does not have a proper turn lane nor does WCR 18 have the required width K for large trucks turning into said location. 6. Item 5; This business has not filed a training route for this school with the DOT or Weld County. Item 6: This is an agriculture zoned district not industrial. This business is not agriculture related. i Item 7: This is a very dangerous business they have had trucks stopped in the middle of the roads i 4. in places that are not safe (on curves, double yellow lined areas, on blind hills). There have been a lot of very close accidents. Olga Item 8: This school has had student drivers in school zones at the time school kids were getting out of school and it was very obvious that the driver of the truck was not in control of the truck at that time. Item 9: This is very important to a lot of people, there is a lot of signatures on the attached list with telephone numbers; please call. Item 10: This being an agriculture area the farmers are not allowed to drill irrigation wells, why should this school be allowed to drill a commercial well? Item I I: There is an industrial park just outside of Hudson, we do not need another industrial park. Item 12: If we would have wanted to live in an industrial park we would have bought in one thirty years ago. This is our homes we live here pay taxes here and we do not want this business here. Item 13: They are driving trucks with the Navajo emblems still on them indicating they are an over-the- road trucking firm, there is one truck that indicates they are training a student driver. Item 14: We had dust control sprayed in July and it needs to be sprayed again, it usually lasts a year. Item 15: They have cut corners to short and knocked over stop signs. Item 16: They have run stop signs and almost hit other vehicles. I know because I was one of the other vehicles. Item 17: The road conditions are a mess and unsafe. The roads in this area were not designed for these big trucks to travel up and down them day in and day out several times a.day and night. Item 18: This location has no facilities for people or drivers for this type of operation. It only has a two or three bedroom mobile home on it and this is being used as a home. They have moved a travel trailer on this property and are living in it also. They have moved old simi- trailers on site and set them up with porches. They have not gotten permits for any thing they have done. So do you think this operation will change in any way. They have just done what ever they felt like. They have thumbed their nose at the county and the surrounding property owners. • Item 19: Has the county been involved with this operation? At this point it does not look like they have or this problem would not exist. Item 20: This abuse could go on forever; this is only a small over view of the problems that exist with this location. Please look at this as a concerned Weld County resident not as a vindictive citizen. Item 21: Would you like it in your back yard or neighborhood? I seriously doubt it.

December 8 , 2003 Department of Planning Services 1555 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 Re: USR-1438 Gentlemen: Being the property owners directly east of the training school on Road 18 , we do have several', concerns about the use of this property for driver learning purposes . I-76 Highway just south is covered by dust with wind blowing from the north crossing this operation and could cause , and probably will, a severe accident from lack of visibility on 1-76 . The operation of this company is not confined to just that property but is using Road 18 and Road 53 plus many other roads for private training of new drivers which puts local traffic in harms way. They are not subject to road impact charges unless they build. The noise caused by so many units ( trucks , backhoes , loaders , etc . ) is also very much of a concern if operations continue beyond normal business hours of 8 :00am to 5 :00pm. We feel this type of business that impacts the community so heavy should be in a more isolated place and certainly away from a major highway. Very truly yours ,William N. Stonebraker ' 4502 WCR #11 Dacono, CO 80514 EXHIBIT $6 Jacqueline Hatch - Permit USR 1438 Page 1 From: "BONNIE MCINTOSH" <bonnierobin@msn.com> To: <jhatch@co.weld.co.us> Date: 7/23/03 9:08PM Subject: Permit USR 1438 This is to register my complaint against the truck driving school that is trying to establish their business on road 18 at approximately road 53. 1. The road is not designed for the large 18 wheelers the people are learning to drive. I was behind one yesterday and you have to travel at 5 mph while they decide what they are going to do. The dust caused by the large trucks is intolerable, you can't see ahead or behind, and if somebody decides they don't want to travel at 5 mph the chances of having a head-on collision are great. 2. I was sitting on my front porch at 8335 CR 55 and all of a sudden there was this wall of dust going from the truck driving school across 18 to the North. All it would take is a shift in the wind and this huge dust cloud is covering my house. 3. The country roads are not designed to handle this type of traffic. The traffic on CR 18 is already bad enough with the large trucks coming from CR 49. You add in these 18 wheelers they are learning to drive and you have a very dangerous situation. Like I told you on the phone, I don't understand why the County allows a business to remain that has not gone through the proper channels. Do they think that because they are already established they can "grandfather" in. If the County lets them have their business there, is Road 18 going to be paved? There was enough traffic before the school being there to warrant it being paved, now it's doubly so. I do not want this business in my back yard. Bonnie McIntosh 8335 WCR 55 Keenesburg, CO 80643 bonnierobin@msn.com CC: <bsalzman@co.weld.co.us> EXHIBIT 12 December 2003 To: Weld County Planning Services Subject: Case Number USR-1438 This is to advise you that we are objecting to the operation of a truck driving and heavy equipment operating school in an agriculturally zoned district by HCP Ventures,LLLP. We base our objections on the following: a. The additional noise this operation will bring to the area including the engine noise and the audible backup devices required on heavy equipment. b. The additional large heavy truck traffic which will be created on Road 18, resulting in a further and more rapid deterioration of the condition of the road (washboarding and deep tire ruts caused during wet weather, etc.). c. The dust and dirt which will blow off the site, as evidenced by the enclosed photographs taken on different days this fall. The dirt and dust presently blows off the barren"road" surfare and a large dirt pile located on the site presumably used for heavy equipment training. Please see the attached 5 photos as evidence of this major problem. All the dirt shown in these photos comes directly from this site. This operation does not seem to fit within the scope and limits of an agriculturally zoned district. While dust, dirt and noise are an inherent part of agricultural operations, they are not nearly as objectionable as the negative environmental impact of an operation of this type. It is therefore our desire to see this operation not receive a favorable recommendation. Thank you for the opportunity to address this matter, Sincerely, Larry and Judi Fulkerson EXHIBIT 4 e x.' • i EXIIIS l Y!5K • ¢341 • Jt Ofi m cps e;- 1tA.111,!,+rte S %ter ,C A _ �.. ‘t, � 6T l � aa$s 5t y N''''*-4/3..“"."

C'. ham\ �� ( ! $ , Y y i //� December 16, 2003 Weld County Dept. Of Planning Services Re: Case # USR-1438 It is with grave concerns that we write this letter regarding the commercial truck driving and heavy equipment operating school applying,for this special use permit. Firstly, when does a commercial/industrial operation just set up shop without even going through any basic procedures through the municipality it wants to operate in? This is exactly how this operation started. One day all these trucks start arriving, heavy equipment started running, and we have an instant noise, pollution and traffic nuisance as a neighbor! Upon inquiring with the county we found out they're not even aware of this operation and so began our nightmare of the past 8 months. It's even more concerning that once the planning department became aware of this operation, that they allowed it to continue. Working in the real estate industry we 're keenly aware that we don 't start a project without first making the necessary inquiries, applying for the proper permits, then and only then, can we begin. Secondly, this operation has invaded a rural/residential area. The surrounding neighborhood consists entirely of farms, small acreages and the homes of the folks working these irrigated lands. We are now exposed to the constant drone of diesel trucks and heavy equipment running from early morning into the night, plus the awful diesel fumes being produced due to the numerous trucks and heavy equipment concentrated at this site. This area is located in a valley so the noise and fumes carry right to our property. We can honestly say that Christine 's allergies and asthma have been seriously worse this year than it's ever been. This is simply not the place for such a noisy and polluting operation. Thirdly, we have a huge safety concern. When the trucks are out practicing they are all over our county roads, our frontage roads, in our small towns of Hudson and Keenesburg, and most alarming is the night driving when they are all but stopped in the road with no hazard lights, no turn signals, no EXMI`it warning of any kind! We have personally experienced this on more than one occasion and it's simply a matter of time before a serious accident occurs. Fourthly, our din roads are taking a huge beating. The road grader attempts to grade a road approximately once a week, but no sooner has he finished and the ruts and washboard roads are right back County road 18 was already well traveled due to the rural/residential population in this area, but the addition of the vehicles coming to the site for training plus the trucks coming in and out all day is a huge burden on these dirt roads. There has been no change on the county's part to increase the maintenance of these roads either. This commercial/industrial operation has applied now for a special use permit to bring their facility to our area, but it simply cannot work for the reasons stated. This is a company that came from Commerce City, which is heavily industrialized, and why they thought they could bring their noise, pollution and safety hazards to this rural/residential community is a crime. We are asking for your protection from such an invasion to our peaceful area. They need to be relocated immediately and look for your swift attention this matter.
