RE: Flooding problems at 431, 471 and 401 Weld County Road 27
Dear Mr. Vienot:
This letter is a follow-up to your correspondence we received November 13,2003,regarding the flooding problems
at the above referenced addresses. This issue has been referred to our Public Works Department. They are aware of
the problem and have requested additional time to investigate the drainage patterns around your property. This
investigation could take another four to six weeks. It will likely involve surveying the area and some preliminary
engineering work.
If you have further questions regarding this issue, please feel free to contact Keith Meyer, Engineering Division
Manager, at 970-356-4000 ext. 3750.
Thank you for your patience with this matter.
Sincerely,
7 OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

This letter is written in behalf of myself, '"arold Vienot, 431
".7CR. 27, ITarvin Co)_pitts, 471 '."C.'. 27, and ;.:.rs. ,recta h-erbst,
401 :Cn. 27. These are three residential properties located on
the 3outhwest corner of Roads 27 and 2 1/2.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of very serious
flooding problems that have developed in our area in the past
few years. Then I purchased an acre of land and built rly home
in 1960, this area was open farm land. In the years following
industry has been allowed to come in, not by our choice, with the
re-grading of land, applying black top, hard surfaces, parking
areas, etc., with little thought of the drainage problems it
would create. .eater now drains north to road 2 1/2, then east
to road 27. Having no place to go, it then backs up into our
properties,Ilorth 5th. Ave. also drains water from the south end of
the industrial park and then into this same area. To add to this
problem, road 2 1./2 has been regraded in the past and black—toppedti
most recently this fall, creating a higher dam, as- water did
originally flow over the road: In the rainstorm we had this fall
the water level rose within-! 4 inches of flooding our wells and
our basements and was well below road level.
Enclosed are pictures taken from road 2 1/2 following one of the
snows we 1-:ad t:-is spring. rater is shown flowing from No. 5th. Ave.
and the B. J. Industries parking lots going east to Rd 27 and the
area referred to above. Also shown is 1r. Colpitts yard, which was
even more flooded in the last rain we had. There are no culverts or
drain ditches and very few retention ponds in this area.
Vie would appreciate prompt serious consideration-r, f`•this-:prbb am
which we believe is a disaster waiting to happen. Please feel
free to contact us Harold Vie-not
