It is safe to assume that most trips from this site will connect to SH 85. The current condition of the WCR 48 connection to the state highway has not been reviewed by this office and is not addressed in the submittal . Site impact data which was provided in the submittal does not address the direction to/from which vehicle trips are anticipated to access SH 85; however, the volume of traffic generated by this development is low enough that it is doubtful that highway improvements will be necessary. My comments are based upon the submittal as received June 7, 1994 . Thank you for the opportunity to review the ICI Seeds Site Specific Development Plan.

SOE #939080 LOCATION: Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter and that part of the North- east Quarter of Section 12 lying West of the Union Pacific Railroad Right-of-way located in Township 4 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. (17658 Weld County Road 48). GENERAL: A 3-bedroom house has been existing on this farm property for many years. The house has public water and is served by a septic tank and leach fields. Avail- able-records on the system are minimal and the information shown on the applica- tion is the best available. ICI Seeds now owns the property and plans on using the farm ground for testing various seed crops. The house will be used for the 10 to 12 day workers, and some small meetings. The main office and sales area is located at the company's main office in LaSalle, Colorado. The only new improvement anticipated will be the addition of a second Restroom in the house. The attached calculations show that the proposed use will be about 40% of the use that could be generated from a typical 3-bedroom home. It appears that the exist- ing system is adequately sized for the proposed use. Respectfully submited. _: McRae & Short, Inc. _-21 — X 6615 =4-1 E Gera d B.

Dear Greg: In response to your letter of May 16, 1994 requesting clarification of several items on our application for the referenced subject, we submit the following: 1. The remit of ICI Seeds' Colorado Research Center is to breed and test new hybrid varieties of corn. At the station, parent lines are crossed to produce hybrid seed and this seed is used to evaluate the potential of the new variety. Hybrids are evaluated by planting them at a number of sites(for example at the LaSalle farm, at the site at Johnstown, CO and the site at Wiggins, CO), and measuring traits such as yield and lodging. The field husbandry techniques used in these trials are identical to those used by local farmers, with the only exception being a research trial will have many different hybrids in a field rather than only one hybrid (which a farmer would plant). Quantities of seed produced at the Research Center for each new hybrid are very small, not more than 10 pounds,which is used strictly for evaluating the hybrid. When a new hybrid is identified that would be of commercial potential, production of quantities of seed required for pre-commercial and commercial status are produced at ICI Seeds production facilities in Iowa. There are no sales associated with the Research Farm. An annual field day is held at the farm, where customers come to see and hear about new hybrid varieties from the research department. 5. The seed produced is used strictly for research evaluation. As mentioned above in #1, no more than 10 pounds of seed of a given variety are produced at a Research Center. 940813 Mr. Greg Thompson Page 2 June 20, 1994 6A. During winter operations there will be one shift, consisting of four full-time people and two or three part-time people. 6B. During summer operations there also will only be one shift, here consisting of the four full- time people and 15 part-time summer crew members. 7. See attached letter from Central Weld County Water District. 9. Vehicular traffic is expected to and from the site will consist of staff members personal vehicles (daily), and UPS and Center's pickup and gooseneck trailer (an average of once a week). 13. Small quantities of seed (samples 10 pounds and less) will be stored in the cold room on the site. Sheds will contain farm equipment (tractor, planter, combine, etc. typical to area farmers) for managing the crop, and the Center's van, pickup and gooseneck trailer. 14. We do not propose to provide storm water retention. It would be nearly impossible to provide retention for a 100 year event for the entire farm. The proposed building addition to the existing farm house will cause a very slight increase in the rate of storm water runoff when considering the total surface area of the 90 acre farm. 16. The building site has lawn areas and trees as shown on the attached plot plan. Erosion control measures including silt fence etc. would be utilized during construction of the building addition to insure no damage to the crop land surrounding the building site. 19. ICI Seeds' Colorado Research Center has been established to breed and test new hybrid varieties of corn in order to improve and promote agriculture in Weld County. Agriculture is an important part of Weld County, and is a part of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. 20. The activities carried out at the ICI Seeds' Colorado Research Center are normal farming practices that are consistent with the Agriculture zone district. See also responses to items 1, 21, and 27. 21. Field husbandry techniques at the Research Center will be no different than on area farms, the only difference being the number of varieties in a given field. In fact, the intention of the station is to evaluate hybrids in conditions as similar as possible to those used by area farmers. Grain produced on the farm is sold locally through normal channels. 22. Fertilizers and Pesticides used at the Research Center are the same as those used by local farmers and are purchased locally from Agricultural Suppliers. Again, with the intention of • 940813 Mr. Greg Thompson Page 3 June 20, 1994 the Research Center being to evaluate possible new commercial hybrids for the local area, ICI Seeds wants identify hybrids that do well under the same field husbandry as used by local farmers. 30. See attached a list of additional property owners that are within 500 feet. The attached drawing has been modified as follows: 1. The property line shown on the Vicinity Maps has been darkened and labeled USR PROPERTY BOUNDARY. This is the entire parcel in question. 2. As noted in item 14 above, we do not intend to provide any storm-retention ponds. 3. Gravel and grass drives have been noted on the plot plan. 4. Parking has been located on the plot plan. 5. Existing lawn areas and trees have been noted o the plot plan. Also see attached a signed copy of the real estate contract. Sincerely, RI Z ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS iti&Paul W.
