TO: Sheri Lockman, Planner II DATE: April 11, 2001 'D FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Adminisfrac rCol gty Planning Dept. CSUBJECT: USR-1326, Lohmann/French • 2 COLORADO RECEIVED The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal; this project falls primarily under the purview of the Use by Special Review Standards. Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 26 is designated on the Southwest Study Area Capacity Improvement Needs as a paved rural road, which requires a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance 89, as amended), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. The average daily traffic count taken on WCR 26 reflects 155 vehicles in a 24-hour period. It was taken August 10, 1999. WCR 13 is identified on the Weld County Transportation Plan Map as an arterial status road,which requires a 100- ,—foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld 3ounty, and it is approximately/ mile west of the proposed site. The average daily traffic count for WCR 13 reflects 1,897 vehicles in a 24-hour period. The count was taken May 20, 1996. The applicant is proposing 138 tractor-trailer or tandem truck loads per day from the facility and employs 25-30 people that would utilize the site with 15 employees on site. REQUIREMENTS: Traffic Impact Study: All new commercial developments with expected ADT> 200 will be required to submit a traffic study as a part of the review process. This study shall include a description of the project; vehicle traffic generation and distribution;verification of adequate acceleration,deceleration,and storage facilities at all impacted intersections; review of bridge capability; intersection levels of service analysis for existing and proposed conditions; and recommendation for needed upgrades to the transportation infrastructure to support the development. Improvements Agreement: The applicant shall enter into an Improvements Agreement for the upgrade and paving of WCR 26 from the pit entrance west to WCR 13 and any additional intersection improvements associated with the heavy hauling that may be identified in the traffic study. Set Backs: The set back to a mining operation is measured from a future right-of-way line plus the standard set back of 20 feet in an agricultural zoned area to the edge of the gravel pit berm, which is considered a structure. WCR 26 is considered a permanent man-made structure. The State requires a sign-off from the County as we are in the 200-feet requirement from the proposed gravel pit operation. The applicant shall supply adequate documentation to verify sign-off. Sheri Lockman April 11, 2001 Page 2 Off Street Parking: The off street parking spaces at the main office parking lot including the access drive shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or the equivalent. It shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. There is adequate sight distance in both directions at the proposed access point. Surface Water: Prior to any discharge associated with the St.Vrain River,the operator will obtain permission from the ditch companies to allow them to utilize the ditch to convey discharge water from the facility to the St. Vrain River. The applicant should identify on the mining plat any appropriate discharge points. The Town of Firestone is identifying a 20-foot storm water easement associated with the Oak Meadows PUD. Appropriate set backs from the drainage easement shall be enforced. The applicant shall place on the Mylar any discharge points associated with the dewatering of both mining operations. French Pit: The applicant has indicated that the access to the French Pit is for the loader and miscellaneous equipment to mine the operation. A conveyor system will convey mined product across multiple ditches and utilities to the Lohmann Pit where the processing plant will be set up. No direct hauling of material will be allowed from the French Pit access, or additional paving shall be required on WCR 26. pc: USR-1326 M:\wpfiles\don-c\planl6usr.wpd r Apr- 11 -01 07 :43P .r.� P- 01 SKS ts Weld County Referral March 20, 2001 c COLORADO The Weld County Department of Planning Services has received the following item for review: Applicant Lohmann/French Case Number USR-1326 Please Reply By April 11, 2001 Planner Sheri Lockman Project Site Specific Development Plan and Special Use Permit for Open Cut Gravel Mining along with a Concrete Batch Plant in the A(Agricultural)Zone District.

We have no objections to the proposal, however, in reviewing the application we have observed that the applicant is proposing bottled water as the facility's source of water. We do not believe that bottled water is an"adequate"source of water for this type of operation. The facility plans to operate at this location for at least 10 years, thus we believe a permanent water supply, i.e. well, community system, etc. is more appropriate to serve the sanitary needs of the staff and visitors to the facility. In addition, according to Alex Schatz from Banks and Gesso, a vehicle maintenance shop will not be located on the property. Should the applicant decide that a vehicle maintenance shop will be located on the site a new review of the application will be required by the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment.

Submit an Air Pollution Emission Notice (A.P.E.N.) and Emissions Permit application to the Air Pollution Control Division, Colorado Department of Health and Environment for emissions of criteria, hazardous or odorous air pollutants. 7 2.
