Re: Case No. Z-555
Lyons 66 Pacific
Dear Mr. Ogle:
I am faxing this letter to you this morning because of the uncertainty about a hearing on
this matter today at 1:30. It is our understanding that you have recommended that it be
continued. HS Resources, Inc. ("HSR")has specific objections to any approval or favorable
recommendation regarding the applicant's proposal in this matter and it has been our intention to
appear and comment on the application at today's hearing. However, because it now appears that
this matter will be continued, we have decided not to send HSR representatives to today's
hearing. In the event this matter unexpectedly remains on the agenda, I ask that you consider the
issues described below and that you not interpret our absence from the hearing as an indication
of a lack of interest, but only our inability to confirm that the hearing would take place.
HSR owns oil and gas leasehold interests in the area covered by this application. We
have current plans to drill an oil and gas well near the center of the property under consideration
and the location for that well has been surveyed and staked on the ground. A permit to drill that
well is being submitted to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission today(copy
attached) and it is our intent to drill that well as soon as possible following approval of the
permit.
These matters simply must be addressed or taken into account in considering the
application presently before the Planning Commission. HSR is amenable to moving the staked
well location within the limits permitted by Oil and Gas Commission rules or directionally
drilling the well if an appropriate agreement can be worked out with the surface owner, and we
have engaged them in conversations about that possibility. We are also concerned about the
implications of Weld County Ordinance No. 89-KK which requires that buildings and structures
be 200 feet from any tank battery and 150 feet from any wellhead. These are all matters that can

be satisfactorily resolved, but they cannot and should not be ignored during the planning process
and it is that basis upon which we object to any approval at this time,
Again, HSR tries to be as flexible and accommodating as possible when confronted with
surface developments that threaten to limit or fully prevent us from gaining access to our
subsurface property rights, but we must ask that the County Planning Commission recognize
those rights and insist that some provision be made for future oil and gas development when
these matters come before it.
Very trul ours,

1. In August of 1993 the Little Thompson Board implemented a "system impact" fee of
$1,050.00 per 5/8" tap or tap equivalent added to the system. This is due upon completion of
the main line extension agreement.
Tap size: Impact fee required:
5/8 in. 1 X$1050.00=$1,050.00
3/4 in. 1.5 X$1050.00=$1,575.00

3. Little Thompson Water District requires the transfer of one share of Colorado Big
Thompson water for each 5/8"tap equivalent in the commitment and then to pay for the rest of
the tap fee as the water lines are put in service. The developer then has the taps to sell with the
lots at the price that he sets.

developer.
05/07/2001 09: 51 3039267059 BOULDER PACIFIC INC PAGE 04

15,253.40. The connection to the existing 12 in. water line at along the 1-25 frontage road is
subject to a rebate also. This rebate amount has not been set but will be as soon as the water
line project is finished and the bill of sale is in hand. The rebate is collected by the District and

Re: 1-25/State Highway 66 Commercial
Weld County, Colorado
(LSC #001200)
Dear Mr, Davis:
This letter is an Addendum to the September, 2000 traffic impact study for the proposed I-25/
State Highway 66 commercial development in Weld County,Colorado. In the April 4,2001 meeting
with Weld County, Diane Houghtaling requested a letter quantifying the percent impact that the
proposed commercial development will have on State Highway 66 adjacent to the site. As the
attached Figure 14 from the September,2000 traffic impact study illustrates, we estimate that the
Year 2020 average daily traffic on State Highway 66 adjacent to the site will be approximately
41,400 vehicles per day. The attached figure also illustrates that the estimated daily site-generated
traffic on State Highway 66 adjacent to the site will be approximately 4,000 vehicles per day.
Based on these traffic projections, it is estimated that the traffic from the proposed commercial
development will contribute approximately 9.7 percent to the total traffic on State Highway 66
adjacent to the site in Year 2020.
We trust that this Addendum will assist you with further planning for the proposed 1-25/State
Highway 66 commercial development. Please call if we can be of further assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc.
