WELD COUNTY ROAD WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
THORNTON/WELD COUNTY - 1991
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the City of
Thornton, a home rule city and a political subdivision of the State of
Colorado ("Thornton") , and Weld County, a home rule county and a political
subdivision of the State of Colorado ("Weld") , on this O- day of
April, 1991, pursuant to Section 29-1-203, Colorado Revised Statutes.
WHEREAS, Thornton desires to annex certain property located in Weld
County ("Sack II Annexation") ; and
WHEREAS, said proposed annexation includes a portion of Weld County
Road 2 ("WCR 2") ; and
WHEREAS, WCR 2 is commercially and economically vital to Weld and its
citizens as a farm to market and business route; and
WHEREAS, Thornton desires to promote and protect efficient transpor-
tation for all citizens and to ensure the continued availability of WCR 2
for farm to market and business purposes; and
WHEREAS, none of Thornton's current weight restrictions will apply to
WCR 2 if annexation occurs; and
WHEREAS, Thornton will accept the responsibility for road maintenance
of WCR 2 if annexation occurs.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties mutually agree and covenant by their
signatures, affixed hereto on separate signature pages, the following:
1. Thornton agrees that it shall not impose weight restrictions
which are more stringent than those currently imposed by Weld upon any
portions of WCR 2 which may be annexed by Thornton, unless such weight
restrictions are necessary for public safety, supported by appropriate
engineering studies and subject to the mutual consent of the parties in
writing. Weight standards shall be identical for the entire width of any
portion of WCR 2 which may be part of the "Sack II Annexation. "
2. Weld agrees that Thornton may impose any safety requirements,
subject to the mutual consent of the parties, upon any portions of WCR 2
which may be annexed by Thornton if said safety requirements are reasonably
necessary for the safe and efficient flow of traffic (according to the
Model Traffic Code for Colorado and/or the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices) or the public health, safety and general welfare of the
citizens. Safety requirements shall be identical for the entire width of
any portion of WCR 2 which may be part of the "Sack II Annexation. "
3. Thornton agrees, upon its acceptance of responsibility for
maintenance of those portions of WCR 2 which may be part of the "Sack II
Annexation, " to perform reasonable road maintenance and repair in a timely
manner and according to generally accepted standards.
4. Thornton agrees that it shall not deny adequate access,
including ingress and egress according to generally accepted engineering
standards and sight distance standards, to any owner of property which is
adjacent to any portion of WCR 2 which may be part of the "Sack II
Annexation. "
