First, based on our review of Article XII of the Land Use Code (which is the Fort Lupton Coordinated Planning Agreement), and our review of the most recent Fort Lupton planning documents, we present the following facts: - The Adams property is not within the Fort Lupton city limits - The Adams property is not within the Fort Lupton Land Use Plan or Transportation Plan areas - The Adams property is not within the Fort Lupton Wellhead Protection Area. - The Adams property is not within the Fort Lupton Urban Growth Planning Area (in fact it is over two miles outside that boundary) - The Adams property is within the Municipal Referral Area (i.e. within three miles of City limits) Given these facts, we are then subject to Section 19-12-50 A. and B. of the Land Use Code. Part A requires a referral to Fort Lupton and Part B contains the terms of the agreement for development requests outside the Urban Growth Area but within the Referral area. Referrals were sent to Fort Lupton (in fact two referrals were sent, one for the original application and another for the amended application). A Fort Lupton Planning Commission hearing was held (which we attended) and responses were provided to Weld County (one letter from the Planning Commission and two letters from the staff of Fort Lupton). We have responded to their concerns to the extent possible. EMMET 2003-3270 1 ,� Part B of the referenced section states in part"To the extent legally possible, the County will disapprove proposals for Urban Development in areas of the Municipal Referral Area outside the Urban Growth Area". This land use proposal is not Urban Development as defined in the Coordinated Planning Agreement. That definition states in part that urban development is characterized by development density typical to urbanized areas. Density in this context refers to residential density and we are proposing no residential units. Our development density is zero units per acre. If you look at density as the percent of the property covered by permanent buildings that number is also zero. The definition of Urban Development contained in the Agreement also states that such development requires support services such as central water and sewer, road networks, park and recreation facilities and programs, storm drainage and other similar services typically furnished by the Municipality. This proposal does not require municipal support services, other than existing County and State road networks. The development does not require central water because we are using on site ground water wells and ditch shares for project water supply. We do not require central sewer because we are using an on-site, permitted and approved individual sewage disposal system. The road network is in place, with the property being surrounded by paved County and State roadways. The applicant has agreed to all the recommended road improvements (recommended by CDOT and Weld County Public Works)for the project and will, at no cost to the State, County or City of Fort Lupton upgrade existing roadways to address the road impacts of the proposed development. Park and recreation services are not required. These services typically relate to an increase in population associated with a proposed residential development. This land development will add almost no population because total employees are expected to be twenty-five or less and most will be from the local area. No offsite or public storm drainage facilities are necessary. All drainage will be handled on site and the site will be reclaimed according to the approved State mining and reclamation permit. Sheriff and fire protection services are minimal for sand and gravel operations compared to residential and commercial development. In fact, the Fort Lupton Fire Department has asked the applicant to provide services to them, in the form of emergency access to on-site water supplies as necessary. The applicant has agreed to cooperate on this issue. In a March 13, 2003 letter from Brian Grubb, Fort Lupton City Planner, to Kim Ogle, Weld County Planning, Mr. Grubb mentions the Coordinated Planning Agreement only once. He states that even through the proposed development will have significant short term impacts the long term use of the property is in conformance with the Coordinated Planning Agreement. Lastly, Part B of the Coordinated Planning Agreement states that in reviewing proposals for Non-Urban Development in the Municipal Referral Area (and we contend that this 2 proposal is non-urban)the County will apply its Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinances. We have in part relied on the mineral extraction component of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan to determine the appropriateness of the Adams site as a gravel mine. The Comprehensive Plan shows this site as a "significant deposit" on a map and contains policies in compliance with the State's Preservation Of Commercial Mineral Deposits Act. The Comprehensive Plan seeks to preserve such areas for the extraction of sand and gravel and other commercial mineral deposits. The Weld County zoning ordinance allows sand and gravel mining as a Use by Special Review in the Agricultural zone and we have met all the application and submittal requirements for such a Use by Special Review. Please take the time to review this letter and I hope you will agree with our position on this matter.pSirely, Paul Banks PB/kj Cc: Lee Morrison, Weld County Russ Otterstein, Premier Paving, Inc. r 02045-Premier Paving-Adams Property 3 Phase III—301 Local Referral/Hearing Process Correspondence September 8,2003 Weld County Planning Commission Weld County Clerk to the Planning Commission's Office Weld County Offices 195 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Board Members: Please accept this letter as an ANGRY PROTEST to the consideration of the Punier Paving's proposed Adams Sand and Gravel Pit: TO: Issue a Permit for a Mineral Development Plant hich includes an Oven Pit Mi ing n ng a Concrete and Asphalt Batch Plant on Weld County between Weld Roads#8 and#6 and between Highway#85 and Weld County Road 27(Old Highway#851 south of Fort Lupton. It has been stated that a minimum of 85 Cement Trucks in nd 85 Cement Trucks out(TOTAL OF 170 TRUCKS A DAY)using this road ch ay to start and many more additional trucks to be added in the days to come as the company grows. This is Unbelievable!!! For someone to think he can add another 170+New Trucks A Day to this road,he must be out of his mind. With the present traffic on these roads as heavy as it is already: 1. With Weld County Road#27(Old Hwy#85)being the ONLY ROAD coming out of or going into the A— South End of the City of Fort Lupton for people working and shopping to Brighton and on to wherever. (Presently Colorado State Patrol will tell you it is the heaviest traveled north and south road in South Weld County already' The State Patrol works this road all the time) The Speed Limit on Road#27(Old Hwy #85)right now is 4040 Mnh.for safety purposes and for amount of traffic using this road. WCR#6 and#8 are also heavily traveled getting to US#85 2. With Fort Lupton School Buses and Children waiting and using Road#27(Old Hwy#85) in and out of school up to four times a day or more. 3. With dairy feeding trucks and vehicles m• ' g feed and cows to and from large dairies already using these roads. Trucks moving corn and silage from fields. 4. With all the Halliburton Oil Trucks and Pickups (across the mad from this proposal),with RI Oil Services Trucks and Vehicles and Ritchie Bros. Auction Equipment and trucks using these roads day and night. 5. With all the farming trucks farming en mment and field workers using here roads to farm and transport their crops. (Farmers for example: Sakata,Villano,Sasaki,Watada,Yokooji are just a few of the farmers farming the land.) 6. With all the people living in the farm area south and east of US Hwy#85 trying to get to work or get to town to meet their needs they must travel on/or across Weld County Road#27 #6 and#8 each fitne.. 7. With artily environmental problems that come with this proposal (Dust,Noise, Smell,Odor,Traffic, Traffic Injuries,Underground Problems,Dumping Problems, Safety Regulations). 8. With the Colorado Department of Transportation and Colorado Motor Carriers Association has stated: in their brochure"SIZE MATTERS FOR SAFE DRIVING"that"Weld County has one of the highest Commercial Vehicle accident rates in the State of Colorado. In 1998.20%of all truck crashes in Colorado involving fatalities occurred in Weld County." (I will provide the brochure at the hearing.) AND EXHIBIT I _l$- Let's not forget all the soil and land for farming that is lost and no longer providing food for people everywhere. When the soil is gone,there won't be a second chance to fix it. THERE IS NO WAY SOMEONE CAN ADD ANOTHER 170+TRUCKS A DAY AND A SAND/CONCRETE PIT TO THIS AERA AND CALL IT A SAFE SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION. IT WILL BE THERE FOR YEARS TO COME. CALL IT COLORFUL COLORADO. YA' I HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE THIS PROPOSAL SHOULD BE DENIED AND SENT BACK TO PREMIER PAVING CO. IMMEDIATELY. SOUTHERN WELD COUNTY DOESN'T NEED THEIR BUSINESS THERE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MAKING MONEY,BUT IT IS THE WRONG PLACE FOR THIS BUSINESS. I REQUEST YOUR CONSIDERATION AND DENIAL OF THE PREMIER PAVING ASPHALT AND CONCRETE PROPOSAL ON WELD COUNTY ROAD#8,BETWEEN US HIGHWAY#85 AND WELD COUNTY#27(OLD HIGHWAY#85), SOUTH OF THE CITY OF FORT LUPTON.

I I Colorado maintains one of the best commercial vehicle safety records in the United I States. One reason for this success is that commercial vehicle safety is at the forefront of Colorado highway and roadside safety programs. Over the past five years, the I commercial vehicle crash rate has remained static at roughly 2.4%of all motor vehicle I crashes in Colorado. I I The current safety programs implemented by local, state and federal agencies have been successful at keeping that crash rate from rising. However, the state has seen little, if I any, decline in commercial vehicle crashes. The state and federal agencies responsible r . . , for commercial vehicle safety must begin to examine alternate solutions, which creatively combine enforcement, education and engineering to affect Colorado's truck safety. I _Y I Weld County (north central plains) has one of the highest commercial vehicle accident rates in the state of Colorado. In 1998, 20% of all truck crashes in Colorado involving I I fatalities occurred int Weld County. Causal factors may include engineering, knowledge level, and/or regulatory compliance. Those involved in motor carrier safety acknowledge this problem, and are committed to effectively reducing the accident rate, as well as the Iassociated financial losses. ✓Don't cut in front ofTrudrs. 1�(Stay out of the"No-Zone."

E-mail:patti@cmca.com I www.cmca.com I 1 I 1 I i^. CIRCUIT RIDER OVERVIEW 1 I Working with selected carriers the Circuit Rider will evaluate or audit current 1 transportation compliance programs to determine where the need for assistance 1 applies. An overall scope of the carrier operation should be viewed, including staffing levels, equipment, driver files, insurance carrier and so on. The Motor Carrier Interview 1 Guide will serve as a starting point for the carrier and the Circuit Rider. Then, working 1 side by side with the individuals responsible for safety and compliance, the Circuit Rider will help to develop safety programs designed to support the carrier's specific needs. This will provide the carrier a baseline or starting point to build a safety program that will help ensure safety and compliance. 1 Once specific needs are identified, the Circuit Rider will provide the tools that can be used by any motor carrier to refine and improve its overall safety management program 1 and performance. Such tools would include community groups that have a commitment to highway safety. This will allow the carrier direct access to agencies that regulate the industry, and provide an open line of communication between both entities. 1 Workshops designed to target high-risk areas of the carrier will be ongoing to provide 1 the basic building blocks for a successful safety program. Using data from the Interview Guide, the Circuit Rider can contour these workshops to provide training and education --1 for the carrier's specific needs. Workshops will interact with existing programs and agencies that support highway safety. The overall goal is to reduce commercial vehicle accidents and fatalities as announced by the United States Department of Transportation over the next ten years. The Circuit Rider Program offers the most basic building blocks to those carriers who are interested in safety and compliance, but are unaware of the ever-changing regulation that governs our industry. 1 I 1 1 Size Matters for Safe Driving I Project Partners Colorado Department of Transportation Colorado Motor Carrier Advisory Council I 1 Colorado Motor Carriers Association 1 Colorado State Patrol I Evans Police Department 1 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 1 Greeley Police Department 1 Weld County Sheriffs Office 1 1 Page 1 of 2 t SbenMmes BACK M Tribune Spreeley , ,.fir,„..-- Original,c rips ny enn.e crcekq Article published December 5,2002 Truck drivers push safety r, 1 Mike Peters co.,.

There are 17 gauges in front of Mike Willits in the cab of the huge truck, 15 1t switches, 20 buttons, a CB radio, a global positioning system tracking Mike Whits of Lucerne,owner of Willies device and one cup holder. Grain,drives down Interstate 25 as he talks about the dangers that truck drivers Ry born encounter day on the highways.Jim It is like sitting in the pilot's seat of a plane, surrounded by the gauges and r switches,driving 130,000 miles a year, pulling a rig that weighs 80,000 pounds. Willits is the owner of Willies Grain Inc. of Lucerne, with about 40 semis, mostly pulling "refers" (refrigerated trucks), usually carrying meat. Willits doesn't drive much anymore because he's assumed the role of owner and boss of about 50 employees, including the drivers. He's also the vice-chairman of the Colorado Motor Carriers Association and was part of a kick-off campaign Tuesday at Del Camino in southwestern Weld County. Willits' group, along with law enforcement agencies and state offices, are trying to reduce the number of truck-car accidents in Weld, the state leader in that disreputable category. "Sometimes, being a truck driver feels like you've got a target on your back," Willits said. Rumbling down Interstate 25, Willits sits high above the traffic, but he can't see everything. There are blind spots that can't be corrected. Willits said recent improvements in truck designs have made trucks safer. New mirror locations, a sloping hood, electronic cruise control in every gear have all helped drivers. Some old stereotypes of truck drivers are gone, as well. Federal regulations govern how long they can drive without sleep; less than 1 percent of the drivers take medications to stay awake; there are more stringent requirements on becoming a truck driver. "We drug test all of our drivers, and if they get a positive test, they can't drive until they go through a substance-abuse program," Willits said. "We can't afford to have those guys working for us." http://www.greeleytrib.com/apps/pbc s.d11/artikkel?D ate=20021205&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=2120... 12/6/02 Aspen Times "sue A., Truckers must remember key rules of the road: a loaded truck at 60 mph takes nearly the length of two football fields to stop; the "No-Zone" areas are to the side, back and even in front of some trucks where the driver can't see other cars; most of the accidents are small, parking-lot mishaps involve backing or moving through tight spaces. They are still dangerous and costly accidents. And for the automobile drivers, there are rules to follow to get along with trucks on the road: Following a truck: If you can't see his side mirrors, he can't see you. Never cut in front of a truck; it weighs more than 80,000 pounds, and your car weighs about 3,000 pounds. It takes a truck a lot longer to stop. Allow trucks adequate space to maneuver; they make wide turns at intersections and require additional lanes to turn. If you drive next to a truck's cab, you're likely in his blind spot; if you follow too closely, he may drive over something that his truck will clear, but which could damage your car; if you're too close, you won't have time to react. If you cut in front of the truck closely, the square-end front hoods on older trucks block the driver's vision and he can't see you. http://www.greeleytrib.com/apps/pbc s.dl l/artikke l?bate=2 0021205&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=2120... 12/6/02 Ast-en T);ues - b_ BACK 401 re e ley Tribune 00/° .. ,rip. .H:4 <Pup al Scrip:by Hoe�ce areele% Article published December 5,2002 Weld truck-car accident rates are highest in Colorado Mike Peters A new safety program, spurred by a study that shows Weld County has more semitrailer-truck-car accidents than any other county in the state, • started with a motto: "Size Matters For Safe Driving in Weld County." In a study from 1995-99, 258 trucks were involved in injury and fatal crashes in Weld, according to Patti Olsgard, director of safety for the Colorado Motor Carriers Association. The truck-involved crashes re-suited swessir in 355 injuries and 28 fatalities. In those accidents, truck drivers were at fault in 41 percent of the crashes a ^` and in 14 percent of the fatal accidents. Olsgard also said: The majority of the crashes were on the most-traveled highways between 6 Truck driver Mike Willits keeps a close eye a.m. and 6 p.m. on passing traffic on Interstate 25 in his side mirror.Jim Rydbom 31 percent of the truck drivers were licensed out of state, so lack of familiarity with highways could have been a factor. In 18 of the crashes, falling asleep at the wheel was the cause. 26 percent of drivers who were ticketed were under 26 years of age. 24 percent of the crashes were rear-end collisions, 22 percent were broadside, and 12 percent were overturned trucks with no collision involved. Weld County commissioner Bill Jerke said the size of the county might contribute to the number of accidents. Weld has 3,200 miles of county roads, not including the major highways, and 2,500 miles of gravel roads. "Weld is No. 1 in the state for agriculture," Jerke said, "and has more oil wells than most other state counties combined. All those trucks and heavy equipment on the roads has to raise the total number of accidents." http://www.greeleytrib.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?Date=20021205&Category=NE W S&ArtNo=2120... 12/6/02 Aspen Times , BACK h t tree1eyTribune unguul 5cnp:sv Hura:<Week. Article published December 6, 2002 Two Weld roads rank high on danger list Mike Peters Of the state's 15 most dangerous roads, two of them—U.S. 85 and Interstate 25 —pass through Weld County, contributing to the county's high fatality toll every year. Weld County set a record last year with 73 traffic deaths. Many of those were on the dangerous highways on the western edge and through the heart of the county. According to a report from Colorado State Patrol Chief Lonnie Westphal to the state's Joint Budget Committee this week, I-25 between the Longmont and Loveland exits (Colo. 119 to the Larimer-Weld county line) had 370 traffic wrecks during the fiscal year 2001-02. Twelve people died in those accidents and 108 people were injured. On U.S. 85 south of Greeley to Brighton, there were 157 accidents, including 58 injuries and three deaths. Westphal said the state has 509 troopers and sergeants, but that is 135 less than the nationally recommended total. In Weld County, it is worse. Capt. Gary Myers, commander of the Colorado State Patrol units in northern Colorado, said Weld County has only three to six troopers on duty in the entire county at one time. "The average number for a day is four troopers and one sergeant,"Myers said. "Some days we'll have as few as three troopers in the entire county." Weld County covers more than 4,000 square miles and has 3,200 miles of county roads, not counting I-25 and U.S. 85. Myers said it gets worse if there is a large accident on 1-25. "In order to maintain traffic control around an accident and prevent a huge pileup of cars, we need to bring all our troopers from across Weld County to work that one accident," he said. And Myers said the lack of troopers will continue for a while. Five vacant trooper positions in Weld County will not be filled for several months because of state budget restrictions. "The only bright spot for us is that Sheriff John Cooke has done everything he can to help us with the new sheriff's office traffic unit. 1-25 is a manpower drain for us. Thank goodness we can rely on local police or the sheriff's office in big emergencies." http://www.greeleytrib.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?Date=20021206&Category=NEWS&ArtNo=2120... 12/6/02 B;g_rgni crashes targeted - News - coloradoan.com b _ Coloradaant ifitaLrHei Home News Entertainment Communities Directories Classifieds Cars Jobs Homes Coupons Customer Service , ��I Read thi Home � .. + We'fftlt the Hear a '•.,..:•; ;f, °� News noise? -` `::-- At HOME Local I:IL-.` '.:` 1tiyr Sports Obituanes - tia cc vJorld News -Thursday, December 5, 2002 An, of n emeras Opinion J Email this std sunes Big rig crashes targeted In print Utest•v'e Driver safety campaign kicks off in Weld County verySd //atur onumnists Extra By SARAH LANGBEIN Government SarahLangbein@Colorado_an.com CUCK TO SUBSC Technology ...»... .. ._ ...... . .. _.,_...._. .,. . . _ _ ead thi Space& Science either Nobody likes to drive behind a truck or a Tips for motorists TICKET Windsor Beacon semi-tractor trailer.

Of those, 53 caused injuries and five were fatal, according to the Colorado State Patrol. "We have a problem here," said Bill Copley of the Federal Motor Carriers Association. "And there's no way to one-on-one patrol this." In the cab of his truck, nearly eight feet above the pavement, Grieve voiced his concern about drivers making abrupt lane changes and their other erratic road behaviors. "People should realize that we can't stop immediately," he said. Grieve estimates that it takes 360 feet for his vehicle to come to a complete stop. He also said vehicles disappear from his sight as they enter into a truck's blind spots. These "no-zones" are located directly behind and in front of the truck. There also are blind spots on both sides; however, the no-zone on the right side extends over several lanes and extends the length of the truck and trailer. Copley said other drivers cause 70 percent of truck-involved accidents. He believes it is just as important, and maybe even more so,to educate car drivers about sharing the roads with big rigs. "We need to address that 70 percent with public outreach," he said. In addition,the campaign stresses the need for truck drivers to continue their training. Olsgard said it also is necessary for truckers to be aware of their smaller counterparts.

ROAD #27 AND ROAD #6 IS THE FIRST INTERSECTION AND ACCESS FROM FORT LUPTON ONTO HIWAY #85. THE TRAFFIC ON ROAD 27 ONTO ROAD #6 AND ROAD#8 IS VERY, VERY HEAVY ON ANY GIVEN DAY WE CANNOT WITHSTAND ANY MORE TRAFFIC FROM LOUD, HEAVY, TRUCKS, ALSO DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE PLANT THAT PREMIER PAVING IS PROPOSING TO BUILD WILL ONLY BE 2 MILES FROM THE FORT LUPTON HIGH SCHOOL. THIS ROAD IS USED BY STUDENTS WHO DRIVE TO AND FROM BRIGHTON AND ALSO TO GAIN ACCESS ONTO HIWAY #85. THE DANGER FROM ALL OF THIS EXTRA TRAFFIC IS UNFATHOMABLE. THE INCREASED TRAFFIC WILL BE A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE FARMERS WHO DRIVE TRACTORS ,PRODUCE, AND EMPLOYEES ALONG THIS STRETCH OF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL , PRODUCTIVE PROPERTY , DO WE WANT FORT LUPTON TO BE A DUMPING GROUND FOR THIS KIND OF UGLY, NOISY, SMELLY PLANT SO CLOSE TO OUR CITY FOR THE SAKE OF PROGRESS. I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO PLEASE CONSIDER OUR REQUEST TO SUPPORT OUR OPPOSITION TO PREMIER PAVING BUILDING A PLANT AT THIS SITE.
