Frey REQUEST: Use by Special Review permit for a motocross race track facility. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: The W1 of Section 5, T2N, R64W of the 6th P.M. Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 5 miles northwest of Keenesburg APPEARANCE: Vince Frey, Vice—President of Prairie Hill Promotions, reported they have built a motocross facility on this site and they would like to continue holding competitive events at this site. Prior to installing the motocross facility he did call the Department of Zoning to see if this was a use that could be conducted in the Agricultural Zone District. He had checked with the owner of another motocross facility and he also had Agricultural Zoning, therefore, he wrongly assumed that he could go ahead with this project. While his intentions were good, he just did not check far enough or he would have discovered that the existing motocross facilities were grandfathered in and he would need a Use by Special Review permit to install their facility. He explained the various regulations pertaining to safety, size of bikes, distance of the audience from the racing activities, insurance requirements, food and beverage requirements, etc. , that pertain to these racing events. There are two ambulances on site when competitive events are held as well as a pumper—type water truck and other types of fire chemical fire extinguisher just in case there would be a fire. �xi+iv.r e Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting June 4, 1985 Page 7 Re stated they have reviewed the recommendations, conditions, and operation standards as outlined by the Department of Planning Services staff. There is the possibility of leasing the property for a day to hold dune buggy races. Lee Morrison explained the proposed motocross racing facility only went with the current owners and not with the land. A lease, even for one day, constitutes revocation of the permit. Therefore, they would want to be involved in some way for the Use by Special Review Permit to remain active. Mr. Frey reviewed possible changes they would like to have made to Operations Standards #1 and 3. Tape 205 - Side 2 The Chairman called for discussion from the audience. Charlotte Harkis, surrounding property owner, spoke in opposition to this request because of the noise, danger of fire, and the possibility of decreased land values. Pat Delaney, Attorney, represented John and Molly Andrews, surrounding property owner, who oppose this request because of noise, traffic, decreased land values, etc. , in the event that they should build a house on this property or try to sell their land. The Chairman asked Rod Allison to read the recommendations, conditions, and operation standards as outlined by the Department of Planning Services staff into the record. Tape 206 - Side 1 MOTION: Sharon Linhart moved Case Number USR-678:85:21 for Vince P. Frey for a Use by Special Review Permit for a motocross race track facility be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial because of the potential erosion problem at this site with plowing or disking up 320 acres of very fine sandy soil that is just going to blow around.

Discussion followed. The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Sharon Linhart - yes; Jack Holman - yes, he agrees with Sharon, and with the standards we have to use on determining this Use by Special Review he comes up with four reasons not to have it and only two have it. Louis Rademacher - no; Paulette Weaver - yes; Bob Ehrlich - no. Motion carried with three voting for the motion and two voting against the motion. The Chairman called a break at 5:00 p.m. The meeting was reconvened by the Chairman, Bob Ehrlich at 5:05 p.m. ADDITIONAL BUSINESS: Chuck Cunliffe, Director of Planning Services presented the following items for the Planning Commission's consideration: Consider proposed amendments to Section 9 of the Weld County Subdivision Regulations. Chcuk Cunliffe reported that the amendments to Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance does not really affect the Planning Commission as these are cases that routinely go to the Board of County Commissioners. These changes have been discussed with the Board of County Commissioners and they have directed that the proposed amendments be presented to the Planning Commission. The criteria would remain the same. If requests for recorded exemptions and subdivision exemptions were staff approved it would cut down on the cost of expenses for handling the cases tremendously. If the staff were to deny a request, the applicant still has the right to request a hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. There was none. MOTION: Sharon Lirihart moved the Planning Commission recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the proposed amendments to Section 9 of the Subdivision Regulations be approved.

Manna �nmmission RE: Case Number USR-678:85:21 Vince P. Frey Dear Mr. Cunliffe: We have the following comments on this proposed zone change: Soil : The soil map and soil description for the proposed motorcross race facility was included in the material_ received. This sandy soil is fragile. The vegetation on this soil will deteriorate with traffic and will become bare of vegetation on high traffic areas. This soil is listed as Other Land on the Important Farmland Map for Weld County, Colorado. Erosion and Sediment Control : This sandy soil is highly susceptible to blowing and blowout conditions can occur. The proposal states that water will be used for dust control . Does this mean all year or only when an event is scheduled? A wind storm can occur any time of the year. However, the windy season is generally November through May. Are there any erosion control measures planned for this time of year? Do they plan to confine vehicles to roads, track, pit area and parking areas? If not what are the plans to protect these areas? Will the roadsides be seeded? Reclamation procedure upon cessation calls for replanting the track area to buffa- lo grass. We believe that buffalo grass is a poor choice for this area. We sug- gest that any area where the vegetation has been reduced or removed be reseeded. Suggested reclamation seeding would include grasses that are there now, or in the surrounding area at the time of seeding.

Chuck Cunliffe, Director Planning Services May 17, 1985 To Date Undersheriff Rick Dill COLORADO From Frey Motocross Facility, ase USE-678:85:21 Subject: Two major concerns developed as a result of reviewing this request. The first concern deals with potentially limited emergency vehicle access to the area both from parking of the patrons vehicles and the soil condition when wet from heavy rain or moisture. Patron parking will require some specific plan and regulation to ensure sufficient access is possible even when an event has just ended and traffic flow out of the area has peaked. Parking will also have to be done in such a manner to allow large emergency vehicles (fire, ambulance) direct access to every area of the parking area and pits. We also have a concern that a sudden heavy rain would sharply limit fire pumper and ambulance mobility in the area. Our second concern is security for a crowd of nearly 1,000 persons including parking lots and crowd viewing areas. The potential for vandalism, vehicle break-ins, and injury to patrons is a reality and would add to our existing service demand. To avoid this added demand, we would request some consideration be given requiring a minimum of three security personnel for any event with an additional security personnel at a rate of one for each 100 persons. We would also request that security personnel be clearly identified by a uniform or other easily observable identification. In this way, we might be able to prevent property damage and/or injuries. If you have any questions, please call. RD/kc cc: Sheriff Andrews Capt.

The gravel base shall be a minimum of 2" aggregate base course class 6. Width of the gravel easement will be 20 feet minimum. Maintenance will be the responsibility of the applicant to maintain the road. Increase in traffic will require additional road maintenance. There are three cattle guards on the gravel easement. There are two less than the proposed road width. These need to be extended in length or replaced to match the proposed road width. If dust control abatement is recommended by the Board, the applicant shall agree to provide an adequate dust abatement program on the gravel easement from Weld County Road 49 to the applicant's property.

The recommendations based on the usage planned are: 1. The movement of up to 1000 users driving on/off the proposed site will create a substantial dust problem. As well water is planned to be used for abatement controls, I require application methods and frequency documentation (le: truck, type of spray, how often, etc. . .) for assurances that dust will not become a nuisance. 2. For 1000 users, the 0.S.H.A. guideline requires 12 portable toilets (70 gallon capacity) , assuming alcoholic beverages are to be consumed. Because the emptying of portable toilets is a controlled procedure, I require an agreement of contract submitted showing what company will be providing services for each event. 3. Any food service is to be strictly limited to either licensed vending service vehicles or the sale of pre-packaged foods requiring NO further preparation before consumption (obtained from licensed suppliers - no home-made food products of any kind may be sold) . i-�-r 7 I,\I yy� thi I 1985 U'`, i Yield Co.

The piece of land is 320 acres , legal description is W2 5 2 64, outside of Hudson Colorado . Application is attached. The proposed operation for this piece of land is as follows : Proposed use is to have Motocross racing which envoles 2 and 3 wheel small displacement race vehicles . The need for uses is at present time there are only 2 riding facilities in the Denver metroplex . One will not be operational at the end of this year. The type of existing uses on surrounding properties is- grazing land only at this time . The distance to residential structures in each direction is north, east and south at least one mile and west is approx one half of a mile. The maxium number of users ,patrons , members , and buyers is approx 1000 . There will be approximately one 12 hour shift per month, for 6 months out of a year at this present time. There is approx. 30 employees for one shift . Well water will be used for dust control . There is 2 easements roads . The entrance will he the south easement road and the exit will be the north easement road. Page 2 The traffic that is associated with proposed ues is motorhome up to 30 feet approx 10 , 000 pounds , vans up to 20 feet 5000 pounds , pickups standard, cars standard, and motorcycle trailers . This will be in and out once per event-which is approx. once a month . The type of sewage we will have is portable chemical toilets . The fire protection measures we have taken is that there will he a 1600 gallon water truck and fire extinguishers . There will be no animals for proposed use. There will be 3 2 yard garbage containers on property. There is no storm water retention facilities associated with the proposed use. After each event garbage containers will be emptied by contract waste removal company from Hudson Colorado . The portable chemical toilets will also be emptied after each event. • Proposed landscaping plans is that we have taken the natural landscaping and rope off a track for the riders and no erosion control measures have been taken. Reclamation procedures to be employed anon cessation would be to remove the roping off of where the track is and replant an} buffalo grass that has been remove where track was layed. The time table for construction has already been completed . The reason this sight was choosen was because it is the least desirable plot in the area for any agricultural activity. On the sight nothing grows there and the topigraphical elvation changes are extremely prohibted for any agricultural use . This is a professionally organized event sanctioned by organization such as Sport Riders Association Club and American Motorcycle Association . Stringent dust control measures are practiced for the safety of the participants and spectators as well as residents of adjacent properties to proposed sight . The proposed sight has been pain stackenly design to utilize the natual attributes of the available terrain. This is done so as not to create an eyesore or obstructions to or from adjacent property . All other land adjacent is undeveloped prairie . Page 3 The proposed sight is no closed than 8 miles to any incorporated or unincorporated municipality, futhermore the proposed sight does not have any utility service including electricity or sewer. The property in question as with all adjacent properties has limited farming value . This property is not in any known flood plain,geologic hazard and Weld County Airport overlay district area. The sanction body for the use of special review area states and enforces in Section 2 #19 of current rules "The sound limit for a machine use in the SRAC (sanctioning body) sanctioned event is 110DB at 3000 RPM measured at a distance of 20 inches at a 90 degree angle to the machine" .

Vincent Frey . This will not only be noisy all hours of the day , but will also decrease the value of our land and homes . Most of us moved out to the country to "get away from the city noises . " Your consideration in this request , will be very much appre— ciated . Thank you, , / --A.C_ , a\,-, r�f (Y L. / ✓✓LLa��ra Anderson and Earl Anderson 11250 WCR 49 , Hudson, CO 80642 / EXN/8/7 /1 U.',7 y fT7.77":7 M September 18, 1985 r _._,. = --;Fl;7-71;7!1t,35 ..r 1 : '� J 1' # i TO THE BOARD OF WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SEP 2 31985 . Greeley, Colorado We are drafting this letter to correct several inco`r"rect statements made by Mr. Vince Frey at the August 28, 1985 hearing on his request for a Use by Special Review for a motorcross race track. In Mr. Frey's response to neighbors ' complaints of excess noise , he stated that a normal car produces noise at a level of about 80 decibels, while the motorcross bike produces a level of 120 decibels. Thus, he stated, the motorbike only makes twice the noise of a car. This is incorrect . Actually, a car produces 50-60 decibels according to the attached illustration. The bel scale (named- for Alexander Gra- ham Bell) is a logarithmic scale which shows that each increase of one bel (10 decibels) is an increase in intensity of 10 times. Using Mr. Frey's own figures, then, the motorbike produces 120-80=40 deci- bels (4 bels) higher noise than does a car. The intensity of noise , therefore , is 10 or 10, 000 times higher for the motorcross bike . If there are 30 bikes in each race , the noise level is 300,000 times higher than that produced by his 80 decibel car. (Note : the threshold of pain, i . e . , the intensity of sound which produces pain and results in permanent hearing loss, is also 120 decibels. ) So just how loud will these races be at the Haught residence? This can be calculated using the defining equation for the bel scale : L (Se's) Aa� 1 .gin vtoulaes��,zr�( _ �Ly� ,z.A..41,, d 4 ( le'°,,,. / ) and the formula which relates the intensity of sound with the distance from the source . Sz Y L , a- d Zz C4,24. rte` aC..t a:.r..a,.�,..L Tz (5 )z 5 . Q-•.,I S 2_ which shows the intensity decreases as a function of the square of the distance from the source . If Li is the loudness at one foot from the bike (L1=120 decibels according to Mr. Frey) , it can easy':. ly be shown that the noise level at the Haught residence 3500 feet away (again. using Mr. Frey' s figure for the distance ) would be 49 decibels . This is roughly the same loudness of a noisy vacuum cleaner being operated one foot away from the listener for the entire duration. of the race . We feel sure you would not allow this level of noise to exist at your house from sunrise to sunset eight times or more a year. Also note that the sound level would be much higher at the property line of the immediate neighbors, rendering their properties virtually useless for relaxation during the races. Three other points deserve reiteration. First, once the soil is de- stroyed, it does not regenerate quickly. Mr. Frey's assertion that exit/Bi7 4/ 2 . the grass regrows just a week after a race is not true . Second, the security Mr. Frey says he has arranged for is security to protect his money taken in at the races, not for crowd control or protection of his neighbor 's property or to prevent unauthorized use of roads. All the roads in that particular area are reserved for private use and access of the property owners, not for public roads. Third, we understand that Mr. Frey does not own the land on which he wants to locate the track - he only leases it. Since he does not reside in Weld County he does not vote there. We do. All of us who bought the 40 or more acreages in that area, wish to keep it zoned agricultural, as is fitting for a rural area.
