HomeMy WebLinkAbout20041067.tiff CAROL Harding - Hunt Brothers request f' "-3 rezoning Page 1 From: "Sharon Schuyler" <kodib46@msn.com> To: <rmasden@co.weld.co.us> Date: 12/18/03 2:32PM Subject: Hunt Brothers request for 1-3 rezoning Mr. Madsen, I would like to call to your attention that soon Hunt Brothers Properties, Inc, owners of Asphalt Specialties, whose application for an asphalt batch plant along WC Road 27 was denied by the Weld county commissioners in 2001, are requesting a zone change. They would like to re-zone 67 acres approximately one quarter mile south of WC Road 6, directly south of the former Horton feed lot, changing it from Agricultural to Industrial. Horton's was rezoned from 1-3 despite the rejections of the Fort Lupton Planning Commission. The request for re-zoning for Hunt's would have attached to it the stipulation which would allow them to put in any type of industrial facility without the input of local governments or residents of the area. This is wrong! We do not wish to live in an industrial zone. This would not be a pleasant entrance to the City of Fort Lupton. This would not be a pleasant view to the residents living adjacent to the property. And this would highly increase the traffic area once again with large trucks, etc. that would not enhance the safety of those traveling on Road 27 to and from the Brighton area. Many seniors use this road as their sole means of connecting with the hospital, pharmacies and shopping located in the Brighton area in order to by-pass the four-lane highway 85 and all the large trucks traveling that area. I do not wish to stop someone from doing what they want with their land. But I do think that consideration should be given to those around the land in regards to safety and health issues as well the environment which they view. Wouldn't you agree? Please consider these issues when this request comes before you. Sincerely, Sharon "May we, as God's children, always keep the true meaning of Christmas in our hearts; and may we share in the warmth and joy of this glorious season and the hopes of the coming year!"—Anonymous n 1 5A 2004-1067 WELD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTIARE4y Planning Department GREELEY OFFICE Fort Lupton Public Schools JAN 1 5 2004 Administration Building 301 Reynolds Street Fort Lupton, Colorado 80621 RECEIVED Ph: 303-857-3200 www.ftlupton.k12.co.us Fax: 303-857-3219 January 13, 2004 Mr. Chris Gathman Weld County Department of Planning Services 1555 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Gathman: I am writing on behalf of the Weld County School District Re-8 Board of Education. The Board of Education would like to be on record as strongly opposing the proposed change in zoning, from A to I-3, for the Hunt Brothers Properties Inc. on WCR 27 north of WCR 6. At the regular meeting of January 12, 2004, the Board of Education passed a resolution opposing the re-zoning. A copy of that resolution is enclosed School District Re-8 opposes this change in zoning for several reasons. First, as a property owner within five hundred feet of the property, the proposed change in zoning will have a significant negative impact on the school building and four acres that the School District owns. While the building is currently unoccupied, the District is in the process of applying for historical grants to restore the building. Once restored there have been several possible uses discussed, including an alternative school for students, staff development center for employees, and offices for school employees. A property that is zoned 1-3 and is directly across the street from a school property used for any of these reasons is highly incompatible. The significant industrial usage allowed with a zoning of 1-3 would also provide a significant safety issue for school children, school employees, and parents who may have reason to use the school building. A second reason for opposing the zoning proposal has to do with immediate and significant safety issues for children. There are several school buses that travel WCR27 at four times each day transporting children to and from school, including two special routes at noon to transport children who are ages 4, 5, and 6 and in the kindergarten and pre-school programs. Our buses have to use WCR 27 and WCR 6 to get to several individual houses, but also to the Sierra Vista development, at the corner of WCR 6 and Highway 85. An industrial zoning would no doubt increase the truck traffic on these roads, probably very significantly. With our school buses having very few other options tiss A COMMUNITY WHICH BELIEVES EDUCATION IS A SHARED RESPONSIB , for transporting children in this area of our school district, a change in zoning would increase the risk of bus accidents and risk to the safety of our children and bus drivers. The School District feels strongly that the safety of our children, and protecting the future use of the property is extremely important. Please reject this zoning request. Sincerely, �* Steve Morrison Superintendent of Schools r Weld County School District Re-8 Resolution Declaring the Board of Education's Opposition to the Proposed Re-zoning of Property Adjacent to School District Property WHEREAS, Hunt Brothers Properties Inc. has proposed a change in zoning of property located East of and adjacent to WCR 27, approximately '/ mile north of WCR 6 from A, Agricultural, to I-3, Industrial; and WHEREAS, Weld County School District Re-8 owns a school site and school building adjacent to the Hunt Brothers property; and WHEREAS, an industrial zoning for this property would be incompatible with any school use of the property that is adjacent to it; and WHEREAS, an industrial zoning would present serious potential safety threats to students and faculty that may use the school property at some point in the future, and WHEREAS,the value of the property to the School District would be significantly reduced by an industrial zoning of the adjacent property; and WHEREAS, a large number of school children are transported to and from school on WCR 27 and an industrial zoning would probably increase the amount of truck traffic and cause safety concerns for children: THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Education of Weld County School District Re-8 that it opposes the re-zoning of the Hunt Brothers property and strongly urges the Weld County Planning Commission to reject the proposal for re-zoning.

Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan OR changing conditions in the area warrant a Change of Zone. Section 22-2-140 of the comprehensive plan encourages the location of industrial districts where adequate services are currently available or reasonably obtainable. Section 22-2-150 encourages the conversion of agricultural land to industrial where adequate services are currently available or reasonably obtainable. The parcel already has a well permit that allows for commercial/industrial uses. The health department will require a commercial septic permit at the time a site plan review is submitted. As pointed out previously the area is changing into an industrial area with several rezonings to 1-3 being approved recently so changing conditions warrant a change of zone to 1-3 on this parcel. r 2. The uses which would be allowed on the property will be compatible with the surrounding land uses. This is an area that is in transition with a mixture of industrial and agricultural land uses. As there is not a Land Use map for this part of Weld county which would direct where specific land uses should occur, adjacent land uses are directing the pattern of growth that is occurring in this area. The map depicting zoning in this area clearly shows that 1-3 zoning is appropriate for this parcel. 3. Adequate water and sewer service can be made available to serve the uses permitted within the proposed zone district. A commercial/industrial well permit is in place and a septic permit will be required through the site plan review process. 4. Addresses street and highway items. Some requirements are currently addressed in conditions of approval such as right-of-way standards, possible intersection improvements and final road plans. Other items will be addressed at the time of site plan review and can be collateralized at that stage. 5. Addresses overlay districts, commercial mineral deposits and soil conditions. The site is not located in any overlay districts and soils and mineral deposits are addressed in the application materials. -- SITE PLAN REVIEW REGULATIONS SETBACKS LANDSCAPING BUFFERING ROAD IMPROVEMENTS DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS COLLATERALIZATION REFERRALS WILL BE SENT TO BOTH FORT LUPTON AND BRIGHTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROVIDE JOBS INCREASE TAX BASE REDUCE COMMUTING EMPLOYEES MAY LIVE AND SHOP IN FORT LUPTON WELD COUNTY DOES NOT LOSE POTENTIAL BUSINESS TO ANOTHER COUNTY • SUMMARY Transitional changes that are occurring in this location Compliance with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and the Weld County Code Direct access to a major transportation route Railroad track bisecting the property 1-3 zoning already existing on the north and east sides of the property Economical constraints in maintaining agricultural zoning Economical benefits to all of Weld County Rezoning of this parcel to Industrial is the only reasonable use of the property.

McKinley Ave Fort Lupton, CO 80621 RE: List of projects for Upper Front Range Transportation Plan TRANSIT The City of Fort Lupton has no projects planned for transit at this time. RAIL The need for economical and fast transit will make light-rail a necessity in the near future. I have consulted the Fort Lupton Planning Commission and they have stated that they wish for a Park/ride and future train depot to be on the West side of the Union Pacific tracks and on the North side of Colorado Highway 52. This 30011. by 300ft location is currently unoccupied except for a vegetable stand. This site would require curb/gutter and sidewalks; adequate turn lanes on Highway 52; storm drainage; water and sewer taps and appropriate buildings and parking to its current needs. In the short-term this site could be used as a park-and-ride and in the medium term it could be used C.^ for both the park-and-ride and a train depot. PG2 - UFR REPORT HIGHWAY LONG-RANGE 1. The City of Fort Lupton recommends that the intersection of WCR 8 and U.S. Highway 85 be the future location of a major interchange and overpass that will serve as a South entrance into our City. 2. The City of Fort Lupton recommends that the intersection of 14th street and U.S. Highway 85 be the future location of a major interchange and overpass to serve as the North entrance into Fort Lupton. BOTH WCR 8 AND 14.5 HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED BY THE U.S. HIGHWAY 85 ACCESS STUDY TO BE THE LOCATIONS OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH ENTRANCES INTO THE CITY OF FORT LUPTON. THESE CHOICES ARE CONSISTANT WITH THE LONG TERM PLAN OF MAKING HWY 85 AN EXPRESSWAY FROM I-76 TO NORTH OF FORT LUPTON. C 3. Colorado FTighway 52 needs to be widened from the Union Pacific Railroad tracks to U.S. 85. Due to incredible amounts of traffic currently using this stretch of road, without widening, the turning movements become more dangerous day by day. It will be very difficult to widen the North side of the street, but the South side could be widened by one lane width without removing current buildings. This project would require obtaining right of way; new curb, gutter, and sidewalk; relocation of light poles; signs; storm water drainage piping; and possibly the replacement of water and sewer taps on the South side of the street, SHORT-TERM The following intersections are currently in need of extensive improvements to make them safe: 1. Colorado Highway 52 and Denver Ave. — Due to the drastic increase in traffic in Fort Lupton; this intersection is has become extremely dangerous. It is the main intersection in town and almost everybody in the City must pass intersect this location to enter or leave Fort Lupton. PG3 - UFRREPORT 2. Colorado Highway 52 and Grand Ave. - Due to its proximity to U.S. Highway 85, less then 100 ft. from the North bound off ramp, the Grand Ave intersection has become very dangerous due to congestion of all types of traffic converging on this area. This situation has been looked at repeatedly by CDOT and it may need further study. CDOT and the City have discussed in the past putting lights at U.S. Highway 85 and State Highway 52. This project would require extensive engineering to formulate the best option. 3. Colorado Highway 52 and Rollie Ave— Due to the new subdivisions that have recently added homes and a new school in the Northeast section of Fort Lupton, Rollie Ave.has become a major congestion area. The situation will only get worse as Coyote Creek and Chestnut Ridge subdivisions continue to build out. Coyote Creek will add 750 new homes over 4 years and Chestnut Ridge will add 59 new homes in 1999 and 2000. This project will require the widening of State Highway 52, four-way lights with turn signals, and adequate striping.
