The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated November 9 , 1981,
duly published November 12, 1981 and December 2 , 1981 in the Johnstown
Breeze, a public hearing was held on the request of Moro Farms, Inc.
for a change of zone from Commercial 3 to Industrial 3 . Steven Sears,
President of Sears' Realty, was present representing the applicant.
The Planning Commission recommended that this change of zone request
be approved. The Planning Staff also recommended that the recorded
exemption on this property also be granted. The recorded exemption
request was to amend the size of Lot A by adding 15. 274 acres to
Lot B. The resulting lots will be: Lot A - 51. 53 acres and Lot B
- 21. 26 acres. John Houtchens, legal counsel for the Arkansas
Foundry, was present and answered questions. He added that if these
requests are approved the applicant plans to begin construction
early in 1982. A letter was presented by Thom Rounds who represented
Great Plains Chemical Company, Inc. , an adjacent land owner. Great
Plains Chemical Company, Inc. is of the opinion that the Industrial
-3 zoning does not provide for proper screening for heavy industrial
uses and further it would have a detrimental effect on their property.
The different zone types were discussed by the Board, the Planning
Staff representatives, and the applicant. Mr. Sears stated that
there is a shortage of Industrial - 3 type zoning in this area of
Weld County. Commissioner Kirby, after discussion, made a motion to
approve the change of _zone from Commercial - 3 to Industrial - 3 ,
because the original zoning may have been faulty, the area has
certainly changed, and further he accepted the Planning Commission ' s
findings. Commissioner Carlson seconded the motion and it carried
unanimously. Commissioner Carlson made a motion to approve the
amended recorded exemption #151 for Moro Farms Inc. Commissioner
Steinmark seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

Re: Moro Farms Rezoning Request; C-3 to I-3
Honorable Commissioners :
We own property to the south of the land proposed for rezoning
from C-3 to I-3. Over the past few years we have invested a
considerable sum in planning for and making improvements at
our site. We have started the process of subdividing our
property into eight or nine lots. Plans were prepared and
submitted for review by your planning staff. The plans were
considered to be feasible and we are now waiting for favorable
economic conditions in order to proceed with the formal subdivision
process. We envision that our property will become a small
agriculture service center containing a variety of ag-related
businesses. (Three such businesses now exist at the site:
Great Plains Chemical Company, ans. , Sheepskin Products , Inc. ,
and celco Supply, ) We are taking pride in developing a high
quality, attractive setting in a highly visible location; there-
fore, we are concerned that our efforts are not made in vain.
We feel that a rezoning that does not provide for proper screening
for heavy industrial uses would have a detrimental effect on our
property, our neighborhood, and on the highway which provides
access to the _City of Greeley. We, therefore, encourage you to
consider our suggestion and request that the property be rezoned
from C-3 to I-2 . With I-2 zoning the uses -proposed would be
permitted to Locate and operate outside but the critical difference
would be that those uses would have to be visually screened from
other properties. _Effective visual screening materials will
protect surrounding properties as well as the occupants of the
Moro Farms property. Moreover, property values for the entire
area will be protected, possibly enhanced, when care is taken
to provi-de for an attractive setting.
We are aware that AFC° Steel is considered to be a heavy industry.
We have no objections to that or to their choosing our area in
Board of County Commis-sioners
December 13, 1981
Page 2
Weld County -for their new plant site. We are pleased that
they have decided that the Greeley area will provide a new home
for their company. However, we believe that 1-2 zoning will
provide all interested parties with the protection that they
desire. Contrary to testimony provided at the Planning Commission' s
public hearing, AFCO Steel ' s expansion potential will be improved
if they provide effective visual screening for their operation.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments.
Sincerely,

site to serve the uses permitted with the proposed change of zone
district.
- Street or highway facilities will be of proper size to provide
access to the property and meet requirements of the proposed zone
district. The applicant has expressed a willingness to upgrade
Weld County Road 391 , a local road, at his own expense.
- The proposed change of zone is located in the Weld County Airport
Overlay District. (The height allowed for buildings proposed in
the area would be restricted at such time when the applicant
applied for building permits. The overlay height restrictions in
this area are approximately 250 to 400 feet above ground elevation
and, therefore, should not present any restrictions to the applicant.)
- The proposed subject site is not known to contain any commercial
mineral desposits.
- There are ao known soil conditions which would limit development
of the subject site.

The Soil -Conservation Services has expressed -concern about the loss of
prime irrigated farmland. It should be noted that this site is
already zoned as a commercial district.
The applicant should develop a plan to control surface drainage and
erosion on the subject site as suggested by the Soil Conservation
Services. This would be addressed in the Design Standards of the site
plan.

I have reviewed the request from Weld County Department of Planning
Services for Moro Farms, Inc. , change of zone from C-3 (Commercial) to
I-3 (Industrial) for 73+ acres in part of the SW4 of Section 29, Twp. 6N,
Range 65W, Weld County, Colorado. The following comments are the result
of that review.
Soils: The site is made up of three soil types: Kim loam, 0 to 1 percent
slope; Kim loam, 1 to 3 percent slope; and Olney fine sandy loam, 0 to 1
percent slope. All soils are considered to be prime farmland if irrigated.
Present use of the land area is irrigated cropland.
The accompanying soils report is very adequate and addresses factors to be
considered if the site is to be developed for industrial purposes. The
recommendations outlined in that report should be adhered to.
Surface Drainage and Erosion Control: There was no plan submitted as to
how surface drainage would be controlled or routed or what erosion control
practices are to be considered, however, this is not required for the change
of zone request.
My main concern is the loss of prime irrigated farmland if the site is
developed for industrial uses. The parcel is presently in agriculture
production and does have the basic conservation practices applied -for
adequate resource protection and production.
Sincerely,
Ronald D. Miller
District Conservationist

Dear Mr. Honn:
Re: Moro Farms, Inc. Rezoning
We have reviewed the plat and Geotechnical Report by Empire Labs, Inc.
for the proposed Moro Farms, Inc. rezoning. The application information
indicates that a large industrial structure is proposed for this site.
The Empire Labs report does a good job of assessing the subsurface
conditions and how they can affect building construction and on-lot sewage
disposal . The recommendations concerning foundation desi-gn, fill and
backfill , and septic systems should be closely observed.
If these recommendations are followed, we have no objection to approval of
this application.
Sincerely,

It is my understanding that this property is to have industrial use.
The road that presently serves the site will be inadequate when further
development occurs.
The applicant should be required to make an agreement with the
Commissioners for additional right-of-way and road improvements that
will adequately serve the site.

SUMMARY STATEMENT
MORO FARMS, INC. - REZONING
This rezoning request comes at this particular time due to the fact we
have an industry new to the Greeley area, which presently has a contract to
purchase the north 20 acres of the subject property. This contract is contingent
upon, among other terms, this property being zoned 1-3. It was the recommendation
of the Weld County Planning Staff to rezone the entire 70 acres at this time,
as opposed to subsequent applications as other industrial users come along.
The purchaser is a national company whose business at the Greeley site
would be steel fabricating, initially employing 35-40 people. Specific site
development would be in two phases; the first phase would involve construction
of a rail spur and a major fabrication building at the north end of the property.
At some point in the future, it is our understanding that a comparable building
would be constructed south of and parallel to the original fabrication building.
Undeveloped areas of the entire 70 acres will continue to be farmed until actual
use changes.
The property is one of few well suited industrial locations in our area.
Other existing I-3 zones are within one-half mile, including Monfort Packing
Plant, located approximately one-quarter mile to the south of the subject property.
It should be of interest that the purchas-ers second choice had to be LaSalle,
due to the various criterion. Within the year, the Union Pacific Railroad will
abandon the "Gill Rail Line" east of this site, leaving a one mile stretch of
delivery and loading spur line through Section 29. In addition, the applicant
intends to reserve a 40 foot easement along the west property line for rail
service to the southern end of the property.
This property is level, has excellent drainage, is adjacent to a major road
system for distribution purposes, and is "set back" or screened from U.S. #85.
Along the west side of the property, between the subject property and U.S. #85
is Producers Auction Yards, which effectively act as a visual screen from U.S. #85.
North of the property is presently an onion field. To the east and south are
increasing numbers of produce and small industrial warehouses, as well as other
produce fields. This area has heavy seasonal truck traffic.
The only significant difference between an I-2 and I-3 zone would appear
to be "screening along adjacent public rights of ways. " The only two adjacent
public roads are W. C.R. #64 and the interior cul-de-sac to be built along the
east side of the property. W.C.R. #64 comprises approximately 10% of the entire
perimeter of the property. The cul-de-sac will serve traffic generated by the
development, or the produce warehouse located east of the property. It is expect-
ed that this property will be the location for two or three large site users
someday.
Domestic water will be served by North Weld County Water District. There
is presently a water line along the entire south and east sides of the property.
Water usage by the steel company will be minimal. Sewage will be handled with
septic systems, the soils are amenable. Greeley Gas has a line adjacent to the
property as does Home Light and Power. The interior cul-de-sac referred to is
to be constructed• prior to any site development; the road and right-of-way will
be in compliance with County specifications.
At the present time, the Greeley Comprehensive Plan indicates Light Industrial
zoning for this parcel. However, the CP only has Light and Heavy Industrial,
while our zoning code uses three classifications. There are areas indicated to
be light industrial which are presently zoned I-2. The same zoning exists in
areas shown as Heavy Industrial. Monfort Packing Plant is indicated on the CP
to be Light Industrial. The Greeley area needs a more attractive, well located
I-3 area for large tract type industry. An I-3 area in todays market place
must have certain aesthetics. Sites along river bottoms or in deteriorating
areas are no longer acceptable. Federal and state regulations over water, air
and noise pollution have effectively removed the potential of new "dirty industries,'
like those of the 1960's. The railroad availability is a real asset. We feel
that this site is a logical property on which to locate new industry for Weld
County and the Greeley area.

REPORT
OF A PRELIMINARY
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION
SCOPE
This report presents the results of a preliminary geotechnical
evaluation prepared for the proposed commercial and industrial develop-
ment located between County Roads 64 and 66 east of North 11th Avenue,
north of Greeley, Colorado. The scope of the project included test
borings and laboratory testing of samples obtained from these borings.
The objectives of this study were to (1 ) evaluate the subsurface
conditions at the site relative -to the proposed construction, and (2)
evaluate the suitability of the site for construction of septic systems
in accordance with Weld County regulations.
SITE EXPLORATION
The field exploration, carried out on October 12, 1981 , consisted
of drilling, logging, and sampling seven (7) test borings and running
seven (7) percolation tests. The locations of the test borings are
shown on the Geologic Map and Test Boring Location Plan included in
Appendix A of this report. Boring logs prepared from the field logs are
included in Appendix A. These logs show soils encountered, location of
sampling, and groundwater at the time of the investigation. A summary
of the test results is included in Appendix B.
The borings were advanced with a four-inch diameter, continuous-
type,type, power-flight auger drill . During the drilling operations, a
geotechnical -engineer from Empire Laboratories, Inc. was present and
made continuous observations of the soils encountered.

SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
The proposed site is located east and south of the Union Pacific
Railroad tracks along County Road 64 east of U. S. Highway 85, north of
Greeley, Colorado. More particularly, the site is described as a tract
of land situate in the southwest 1/4 of Section 29, Township 6 North,
Range 65 West of the Sixth P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
The site, located on a bluff north of the Cache La Poudre River
Valley, is relatively flat and has minor drainage to the southeast. The
northern two-thirds of the property is vegetated with corn stubble,
while the southern one-third of the tract has been planted in beans.
Concrete-lined irrigation ditches are located along the north and west
property line, and unlined irrigation ditches border the south and east
property lines. Large cottonwood trees are growing near the south
property line.
SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
The soil profile at the site consists of strata of materials ar-
ranged in different combinations. In order of increasing depths, they
are as follows:
(1 ) Silty -Topsoil : The site is overlain by a one (1 ) foot layer
of silty topsoil . The topsoil has been penetrated by root
growth and organic matter and should not be used as bearing
soil or as fill and/or backfill material .
(2) Sandy Silty Clay: This stratum underlies the topsoil and
extends to the depths explored. The silty clay varies to a
clayey silt, _contains large percentages of fine sand, is
slightly plastic, and exhibits low to moderate bearing char-
acteristics in its damp to moist in situ condition. When
wetted, the clayier portions of the stratum exhibit slight
swelling potential .
X
/ \
(3) Groundwater: At the time of the investigation, no free
groundwater was encountered at the site to depths thirty-four
(34) feet below the surface. Water levels in this area may be
subject to change due to seasonal variations and irrigation
demands on and adjacent to the property.
REC0MMENDATI0NS ANDDISCUSSI0N
It is our understanding that the site is to be developed for com-
mercial and industrial buildings. The buildings will be served by on-
site sewage disposal systems. Due to the topography of the site, only
minor amounts of site grading are anticipated.
Geology
The proposed commercial and industrial development is located
within the Colorado Pi-edmont section of the Great Plains physiographic
province. The Colorado Piedmont, formed during Late Tertiary and Early
Quaternary time (approximately sixty-five million (65,000,000) years
ago), is a broad, erosional trench which separates the Southern Rocky
Mountains from the High Plains. Structurally, the site lies along the
western flank of the Denver Basin. During the Late Mesozoic and Early
Cenozoic Periods (approximately seventy million (70,000,000) years ago),
intense tectonic activity occurred, causing the uplifting of the Front
Range and the associated downwarping of the Denver Basin to the east.
Relatively flat uplands and broad valleys characterize the present-day
topography of the Col-orado Piedmont in this region. The site is under-
lain by valley fill deposits of Pleistocene and/or Recent Age. The
subsoils are underlain by the Upper Cretaceous Laramie Formation.
Bedrock outcrops were not noted at the site, nor was bedrock encoun-
tered at the site to depths thirty-four (34) feet below the surface. It
is estimated that the bedrock underlies the site at approximate depths
sixty (60) to one hundred (100) feet below the surface as the property
lies within the -ancient stream channels of the Cache La Poudre River,
_ 1
c .
which runs south of the site, and Eaton Draw, which is -located to the
east. In general , the bedrock in the area dips gently in an easterly
direction. The property lies within the Plains Seismotectonic province.
Seismic activity is anti-cipated to to minimal , and from a structural
standpoint, the site should be relatively stable. The property lies
within the -drainage basins of the Cache La Poudre -River and Eaton Draw;
however, the subject area _does -not lie within the flood plain of either
of these two streams. The property is relatively flat and has slopes of
less than one percent (1%). Due to the relatively flat nature of the
site, geologic hazards due to mass movement caused by _gravity, such as
landslides, mud flows, etc. , are not anticipated. With proper site
grading around all structures and for all roadways, erosional problems
should be minimal .
The site is underlain by thick deposits of valley fill materials.
These valley fills consist of silts and clays, and no deposits of sand
and gravel were encountered to depths thirty-four (34) feet below the
surface. The property is underl-ain by the Cretaceous Laramie Formation.
The Laramie Formation is known to contain -economic deposits of coal
within the Boulder-Weld Coal field located south of the Greeley area.
However, no deposits of coal are known to exist within the Laramie
Formation in the Greeley area, and it is not anticipated that economic
deposits of coal underlie the site. Geologic conditions at the site are
such that economic deposits of limestone or quarry rock are not antici-
pated.
Site Grading and Utilities
It is anticipated that some grading of the site may be needed and
that foundations and/or slabs on grade may be founded on structural fill
in portions of the site.
It is recommended that the upper six (6) inches of topsoil below
filled and paved areas be stripped and stockpiled for reuse in planted
areas. All debris and other unsuitable material should also be removed.
The upper six (6) inches of the subgrade below building, filled, and
_ 1
paved areas should be scarified and recompacted at optimum moisture to
at least ninety-five percent (95%) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D
698-78. Fill should consist of the on-site soils or imported material
approved by the geotechnical engineer. Fill should be placed in uniform
six (6) to eight (8) inch lifts.
In computing earthwork quantities, an estimated shrinkage -factor of
fifteen percent (15%) to twenty percent (20%) may be used for the on-
site sandy silty clay compacted to the above-recommended density.
Utility trenches dug four (4) feet or more into the clay subsoils
should be excavated on slopes no steeper than 1 :1 . To minimize breakage
during the backfilling operations, piping should be adequately bedded
for proper load distribution.
Backfill placed in Mtility trenches in open and planted areas
should be compacted in uniform lifts at optimum moisture to at least
ninety percent (90%) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-78 the full
depth of the trench. The upper four (-4) feet of backfill placed in
utility trenches under building, roadway, and paved areas should be
compacted at or near optimum moisture to at least ninety-five percent
(95%) of Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-78, and the lower portion
of these trenches should be compacted to at Yeast ninety percent (9_0%)
of Standard Proctor Density ASTM 13 698-78. Addition of moisture to
and/or drying of the subsoils may be needed for proper compaction.
Strip
ping, grubbing, subgrade preparation, and fill and backfill
placement should be accomplished under continuous observation of the
geotechnical engineer. Field density tests should be taken daily in the
compacted subgrade, fill , and backfill under the direction of the
geotechnical engineer.
-Foundations
In view of the loads transmitted by the proposed construction and
the soil conditions encountered at the site, it is recommended that the
structures be supported by conventional—type spread footings and/or
continuous grade beams. All footings and/or grade beams should be
- 9
founded on the original , undisturbed soil or on structural fill placed
in accordance with the recommendations discussed in the "Site Grading
and Utiliti-es" section of this report, a minimum -of thirty (30) inches
below finished grade for frost protecti-on. The identification and
undisturbed nature of the soil as well as the structural integrity of
the fill should be verified by the geotechnical engineer prior to place-
ment -of any foundation concrete. Based on preliminary test results,
footings and/or grade beams founded at the above level may be designed
for a maximum allowabl-e -bearing capacity of one thousand (1000) to two
thousand (2000) pounds per square font (dead load plus maximum live
load). To counteract swelling pressures which will develop if the
subsoils become wetted, all footings and/or grade beams should be de-
signed for a minimum dead load of two hundred fifty (250) to five hundred
(500) pounds per square foot.
Basements and Slabs on Grade
Since no free groundwater was -encountered at the site to depths of
thirty-four (34) feet below the surface, it is our opinion that basement
construction is feasible at the site.
Subgrade below slabs on grade should be prepared in accordance with
the recommendations discussed in the "Site Grading and Utilities" section
of this report. Slabs on grade supporting heavy floor loads should be
underlain by at least six (6) inches of crushed gravel base course,
compacted at optimum moisture to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of
Standard Proctor Density ASTM D 698-78. Office and other areas trans-
mitting light floor loads should be underlain by a minimum of four (4)
inches of clean gravel or crushed rock devoid of fines. The gravel base
course and/or gravel should help to distribute floor loads and should
act as a capillary break. Slabs on grade should be designed for the
imposed loading, and it is recommended that they be designed structurally
independent of bearing members. To minimize and control shrinkage
cracks which may develop in slabs -on grade, we suggest that control
joints be placed every twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) feet and that the
7C
-6-
total area contained within these joints be no greater than six hundred
twenty-five (625) square feet.
Septic Systems
Due to percolation rates and the soil conditions encountered at the
site, it is our opinion that the site is suitable for construction of
standard-type septic systems. It is recommended that additional soil
percolation tests be performed in the area of each proposed septic
system and that the systems be designed for the proper loads and sewage
flows for each commercial installation. The systems should be designed
in accordance with the requirements of Weld County and the Colorado
State Health Department.
GENERAL COMMENTS
It should be noted that this was a preliminary investigation and
that the bearing capacities recommended in this report are based on
preliminary tests. Due to variations in soil conditions encountered at
the site, it is recommended that additional test borings be made prior
to construction. Samples obtained from these test borings should be
subjected to testing and inspection in the laboratory to provide a sound
basis for determining the physical properties and bearing capacities of
the soils encountered.
