Weld County Commissioners P.O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc., USR #972 Amending a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for an Amended Design and Operations Plan for an Existing Sanitary Landfill Permitted Under SUP#400 Dear Weld County Commissioners: I am writing to you with regard to your approval on July 15, 1992 of Laidlaw Waste Systems (Colorado) Inc.'s ("Laidlaw") Use by Special Review Application #972 to Amend Special Use Permit #400, which is part of the West one-half of the Northeast quarter and East one-half of the Northwest quarter, Section 29, Township 1 North, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. Your approval of the Amendment to Special Use Permit #400 was conditioned in part upon Laidlaw Waste Systems (Colorado) Inc. ("Laidlaw"), submitting, within six months, an off-site road maintenance and improvements agreement. The condition was stated as follows: A proposed off-site road maintenance and improvements agreement. The agreement shall identify the type, costs, and timing of all off-site road improvements and maintenance. The agreement shall identify who pays and performs the off-site road improvements and maintenance. The agreement shall be supported by a traffic analysis, obtained by the applicant, which estimates the traffic impacts of the proposed use on Weld County roads. 92128d 1kIs''g13- PLU 1;5 rc, . 1'L , H1, LA Weld County Commissioners November 19, 1992 Page 2 The Board of County Commissioners shall review and approve the form of collateral and security tendered and accepted for the off-site road maintenance and improvements agreement. I am attaching a traffic analysis, labeled as Exhibit A. The purpose of this letter is to request that you waive an off-site road maintenance and improvements agreement because of the special circumstances that pertain to landfills generally in Weld County and because Laidlaw has paid more than its share of off-site road improvements by virtue of the payment of the special assessments to pay the local improvement district bonds on Weld County Road 5. You will recall that Weld County Ordinance No. 164 and the Weld County Home Rule Charter require the collection of a surcharge at all landfills within the County and such funds are to be placed in the Weld County Solid Waste Disposal Site and Facility Fund to be used for, among other items, "establishment, construction and maintenance of roads providing access to solid waste sites and facilities." While you customarily require an off-site road maintenance and improvements agreement, such an agreement should not be necessary for landfills because of the Home Rule Charter provision relating to surcharges for landfills and Weld County Ordinance No. 164. I am attaching an accounting, labeled as Exhibit B, showing $835,671.51 as the amount of money collected by Laidlaw, in the form of surcharges at 5 percent for inclusion in the Weld County Solid Waste Disposal Site and Facility Fund. As you know, the 5 percent fee has recently been increased to 10 percent. In addition to the above, please recall that Laidlaw and its predecessor in title have made all of the payments on the local improvement district bond for improvements to Weld County Road 5. I am attaching a schedule, labeled as Exhibit C, showing that Laidlaw and its predecessors in title have contributed $1,179,437.50 to the local improvement district through 1992 and will contribute a total of$1,541,437.50 through 1995. It also should be pointed out that the improvements to Weld County Road 5, which have been primarily funded by Laidlaw, are used and will be used in the future by other surrounding landfills and those other landfills will not have contributed in any form to Weld County Commissioners November 19, 1992 Page 3 the local improvement district bonds. In other words, it is Laidlaw's position that the other surrounding landfills should pay a larger percentage of off-site road maintenance and improvements for the roads they share if additional funds are necessary beyond the amounts collected by the surcharge specified in the Weld County Home Rule Charter and in Weld County Ordinance No. 164. In summary, Laidlaw believes that it has contributed and will contribute in the future to off-site road maintenance and improvements and that an additional agreement is unnecessary. We would appreciate your review of the attached material and an indication as to whether or not you would be willing to waive the requirement of an additional off-site road maintenance and improvements agreement.
