Following shall address both items: 1A) Signage. We will not be needing signage currently on this site now that we have removed the retail component of this application. Any future needs for signage would be addressed through proper channels adhering to county ordinance and code. 1B) Product List. The additional products"associated with landscaping industry" would be just that. 1 would like to see it read that way because of some of the changing demand that is associated with Commercial and Residential landscaping. Ow intent is not to go outside of this. Pioneer's companywide product list is as follows for their company and this would be the maximum scope we would encounter with Landscape Materials: Rock, Landscape boulders,Gravel, Sand, Mulch& Ground Cover,topsoil and compost mixtures,manufactured stone& retaining wall systems, fabric &pins, timbers&ties. This should address those requests. Please let me know of any other concerns or questions and we will address them promptly. We are quite disappointed by the lack of opportunity to condense timeline with the mishandling of our Pre-Ad and that money. Please process this as soon as possible. Thank Yo P 'Hip enta Owner BritTara Land Company "Creating Value &Opportunity Through Quality Engineering, Consulting&Development Services" *( ,vy 4!Ff / Krist Mathisen 5505 WCR 38 H) 970-535-0842 -� Lk-:L- 5 3 "Use by Special Review Permit" Case # AmUSR-935 p L Tic: Applied for by Brittara Land Company LLC Pioneer Landscape Company Vjc:;Li Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, I have a number of concerns as well as questions I feel should be addressed before any decision is made to change the use of the site directly to the west of me. I believe I will be greatly affected by having a landscape distribution company as a neighbor due to two sides of my residence boarder on the purpose site. In the Planning meeting, it was stated that"Brittara Land Company" talked to one neighbor and they were threatened. Therefore, contacting other surrounding neighbors apparently did not happen. It is disappointing that Pioneer Landscape wants to be our neighbor, affect us all and has made no attempt to contact us in person or in writing to discuss issues. The present look and low impact of a few weeks in the spring and fall is acceptable. The purposed landscape company's schedule of days, hours and the number or trucks for operation throughout the entire year will dramatically change the esthetics, and to a high impact agriculture area. The Planning Boards original recommendation at the start of the public meeting ( Tuesday, August 17, 2004 1:30 p.m.) was that they "deny" having a landscape company located in this area, " It did not fit in with the surrounding area". Thoughts and Concerns; *) The entire operation should be screened solid at least to the height of the train cars and or pile heights to minimize the eyesore. *) Landscaping surrounding the operations should include a variety of trees, to provide different height levels. 1) Dust suppression on entire road of WCR 38, between 1-25 and WCR13 2) Limit the number of trips/trucks per day, to one per hour, maintain low impact 3) If the number of truck trips is exceeded, a penalty can and will be enforced 4) Maintenance of road must be kept to a agreed standard, or a penalty 5) Noise must be kept to a agreed standard, or a penalty 6) Hours of operation should be reduced to M-F 8-5, no weekends 7) If for any reason Brittara Land Company/Pioneer Landscape Company defaults, sells or changes, the land reverts back to the original conditions. 8) Prior to the planning meeting, not all the landowners within 500 feet were contacted, does this void past meeting decisions, incorrect procedure 9) RR crossing be fixed and maintained, train schedule M-F 8-5p.m. 10)All decisions be put on hold indefinitely by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County until a discussion/agreement between neighbors and Brittara Land Company/Pioneer Landscape Company can occur. 11)This is a classic case, the big company will agree to just about anything to get in, therefore strict penalties should be enforced, neighbors should be compensated. This is not a commercial area, the area next to I-25/ Mead (a few miles S.W.) will provide the opportunity to have easy access, high visibility and a retail business. = EXHIBIT ' . .. bile, i Tom and Nancy Vetter 4700 Weld County Road 38 Platteville, Colorado 80651 Board of County Commissioners of Weld County P.O. Box 758 Greeley,Colorado 80632 September 23, 2004 RE:Case#AmUSR-935 To WHom It May Concern: This letter is my response to a special permit zoning application for the"Brittara Land Company".I was appaled that I was not contacted of this matter when it will impact the road on which I have over 500 feet of my property bordered by the road.l feel that this application is not in the demographic picture of this area.There is prospects of home development east of me and north of me on road 38 and I feel this will impact the safety of the neighborhood. WHen moving here 4 years ago I thought this was a nice rural area with a dirt road for riding horses.But just in this time I have found this unmaintained road with no speed limit is used very regualarly by speeding traffic which has resulted in our family dog being killed and a chicken and then the dust impact had caused a pony to have a severe allergy which eventually resulted in his demise. THe dust levels during the fall is appaling just from the impact of the beet trucks speeding down this road. If this does pass I would like to see the road properly maintained with magnesium chloride as often as needed for the full lenghth of the road not just 300 feet.A residential speed limit of 25 MPH because when the trucks are speeding and my kids are waiting for the school bus the dust is to where the kids can not be seen.l would only want them to make a maximum of 8 trips a day on the road.The railroad crossing at the frontage road on 1/25 if it is to be used needs to be fixed along with the rails.! would like to know how the noise impact and amount of traffic control will be monitored. I hope that you will take into considerations this is a budding resedential area for equistrain and family enviroments and a buisness such as this on this road does not fit within that perimeter. Sincerely, Tom and Nanc Vetet [.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Case #AmUSR-935 "a Dear Board of County Commissioners, -,- - I am a landowner with agricultural property across the street from the location requesting a special use permit. My land is -53 acres on which I also plan to place a house into which I will move within the next two years. I am a strong believer that a property owner has a right to do with their land as they please. However, the impact on others around them should and must be considered in their decision. The special use permit is requesting a business that will utilize the railroad and County Road 38 for normal business operations. If either of these items where not available, the business could not be performed. As such, these two items must be studied to determine if both resources can be _maintained to a level required by the business and also agriculture and residential owners to also require constant access by CR38 . Along these lines, I have some observations that .. respectfully present for your consideration. 1. Road Access for Residential and Emergency Vehicles: CR38 has had major work along the side to install a main water line. During this time, large trucks and equipment have constantly been on the surface of the road. During the last rainstorm on September 22, 2004, most of the heavy equipment was gone. However, the few trucks that went over the road made it impossible to drive a passenger car (non-four wheel drivel without danger of becoming stuck. On Thursday, September 23, a grader and loader were trying to maintain the road to remove the ruts and washboard created by the equipment . These two machines were working all day on the '-s mile stretch between CR13 and CR38 that will also be used by the trucks for the landscape company. Even though they worked all day, the road was still dangerous for standard passenger cars. What will be the cost to maintain the road at a safe level? The grader took a whole day to resurface the road under a "road closed" condition. With the new business, it is estimated one truck every 20 minutes is expected on CR38 . Has a study been made to determine the current level of traffic and the estimated impact on the surface to determine if a dirt road is adequate? After observing the road during construction, I cannot envision a dirt road being sufficient for this operation. 2 . Dust and Noise Levels meeting EPA Standards: The business is not only working in an agricultural, but is also adjacent to a residential subdivision that has just started west of the proposed site. Has the dust and noise level impact of the business from transfer/loading equipment on the property along with the extra dust and noise from CR38 been assessed and submitted to responsible authorities? If not, these need to be considered and/or addressed by the requesting party for the special use permit . Children are in the Area: ,es with most residential/rural areas, safeguards must be in place to insure equipment or goods located on the special use property do not harm children. A fence or some means of protection is required. Because the roads have been rural, I have seen children riding horses along the side of the road. I have also seen children riding bikes . New use 1 restrictions, speed limits and monitoring is necessary to protect families from tragedy. Summary: —These are just a few of the issues I think are relevant. Because this is a special use ?quest, I feel the requestor is responsible to make improvements to the area they are impacting. Those profiting from the revenue of this business, rather than the taxpayers, should pay for required upgrades. Certainly the road improvements, including the railroad crossing, would prove the most costly for this business operation. In addition, do we have sufficient fire hydrants to meet the safety need of the business and the current and future residences that are planned for the area? It is the responsibility of the Board of Commissioners to see that safety is addressed by any and all changes to zoning (or special use petitions) . As a major part in the planning of Weld County, you have the big picture of our future. Only you are able to ensure each individual impacted by this type of request is protected and ensured the best (most fair) outcome is reach. If the answers to the above situations are not available, I request that you either deny the permit or demand the answers from the parties named in the petition.
