Basically my recommendations are the same as outlined to you in my letter dated August 29, 1991, see attached copy. The major concern is the bulb type extinguishers. Mr. Berwin Walter submitted to my office a copy of an analysis done by Industrial Laboratories, see attached copy, of a test done on the contents of one of the bulb type extinguishers. The results of the test confirm that the extinguishers contain prohibited vaporizing liquids as outlined in the Uniform Fire Code, see attached copy. It is imperative now that Mr. Easton and Mr. Walter remove all of the bulb type extinguishers located in any and all of the buildings owned by Mr. Easton. I would also point out that if the school enrollment reaches 50 students we will need to address emergency lighting, an alarm system and panic hardware for the exit doors. I would also request that Mr. Walter contact me prior to the school opening so that I may do a walk-through of the facility. Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this proposal. If you have any questions don ' t hesitate to call at the above phone number. Sincerely, Gary 5andau, Fire Marshal 118 \4.:?': S'i RE.

I have the following recommendations concerning this facility. The first item I would like to address is the fact that there, are several glass bulb type extinguishers hanging in the building at this time. My concern is that they may contain carbon tetrachloride which is an illegal vaporizing liquid extinguisher. I have ask Mr. Walter to provide proof that these extinguishers are not carbon tetrachloride and if he cannot every bulb type extinguisher in the entire facility must be taken down and disposed of. The recommendations I have for the facility based on the Uniform Fire Code are as follows. The North exit doors out of the classroom must swing outward. Five exit signs must be placed on the doors leading out of the North of the facility. The exit signs must be in block letters six inches high with not less than a three quarter inch stroke. All exit ways shall be maintained unobstructed and clear of storage at all times. Two 2 1/2 pound extinguishers with a minimum of a 1-A 10-BC rating will be placed in the facility one in the testing room and one in the office. One 5 pound extinguisher with a minimum rating of 2-A 10-BC will be placed in the classroom. Two 10 pound extinguishers with a minimum rating of 4-A 60-BC will be placed in the hanger.

The information listed below is to be attached to the completed USR application. 2 . Detailed description of the proposed operation and use. a. The following existing uses are presently on the property and have been for approximately 26 years and exist as a nonconforming use: (1) General flying operations (Airfield) . (2) Airplane and helicopter flight training. (3) Airplane and helicopter agricultural spraying operations. (4) Airplane and helicopter maintenance operations. (5) Aircraft Parts Manufacturing. (6) Fuel and agricultural chemical sales. (7) Airplane and helicopter air taxi service. (8) Aircraft banner towing. (9) FAA Part 91 flight training. (10) Aircraft Non-Destructive-Testing training. (11) McDonnell Dogulas Helicopter Service Center. We will be adding one additional use - an Aviation Maintenance Technician Training School. b. Need for use. The use that is proposed is the type of use normally associated with an airport operation such as this. We presently have an Air Agency Certificate approved by the FAA under FAR Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician School. As a nonconforming use the airport operation already conducts aircraft rebuilding and maintenance operations. The additional use would be very little change to those uses already existing. The following FAA Approved functions are presently in operation at Valley View Airfield. (1) FAR Part 91 flight training. (2) FAA Air Carrier, Certificate # ESDA685D. (3) FAR Part 133 Operating Certificate for class A, B, C External Loads, Certificate # ESDL685D.

Written materials and supporting documents. a. This proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive plan, in that the property has been used for the present and intended purpose since 1965. The airfield was the first development in the area, with residential structures in the area built later to adapt to the layout of the airfield. An airport such as the proposed use is a use by special review allowed in an agricultural zone, under the zoning regulations. b. The airfield operation and supporting functions described in items 2a and 2b are a part of the past and present uses of the district. c. Agricultural property on the property, adjacent to the airstrip and hangers, is utilized as crop producing land. d. Adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the county. e. The uses of the property have been the principal influence for the development of the surrounding land. The airfield was the first development in the area, with other developments adapting to the existence of the airfield. The nearest residential structures are alone the north side of the NE end of the main runway, conforming to the position of the runway. There is a farmstead with house SW of the west end of the main runway. f. The surrounding area is agricultural and residential. Future development should conform to the Airfield and the existing agricultural and residential uses. The airfield has been in use since 1965. g. The property is not located in a flood plain, geologic hazard, Weld County Airport overlay district area and complies with section 50 overlay district regulations. h. The Central Weld water supply has been connected and adequate for several years. i. Applicant owns the property. Document is attached. j . Noise report. N/A k. Soil report. 1.
