RE: USR 1087 Meyer. Conversation with Donald R. Carroll,
Project Coordinator for Weld County.
Nelson Engineers Project No. 518
Dear Shani,
In accordance with the requirement of information that is needed prior to recording the
plat, this letter is to inform you that I have had telephone conversations, on two occasions,
with Don Carroll regarding his memo of July 5, 1995. In our latest telephone
conversation, of August 29, each of the items that are subject of his memo of July 5 were
discussed in detail. We expect to provide a plat that conforms to all of his concerns in that
memo.
Under ordinance #180, with respect to accesses from roadways to a commercial facility,
the applicant will provide a roadway with a minimum width of twenty foot of pavement
and three foot gravel shoulders. In addition, the pavement will provided with a forty foot
radius at the intersection of the roadway and Colorado Highway 392. On the plat that
roadway is designated as Weld County Road 23 1/2 and is a private roadway. A typical
cross-section of the pavement is provided on the plat showing the twenty-four foot width
with a six-inch base of Class 6 material and two inches of asphalt surfacing with C grading
asphalt. Borrow ditches will be shown as necessary along the west side of the roadway.
It is the plan to meet in the immediate future with representatives of the Colorado
Department of Transportation. Mr. Carroll suggested that we need to contact either
Teresa Jones or Gloria Eidler of that agency to acquire an access permit. There is an
existing access at this location. It would appear that a new access permit would not be
required. There is adequate sight distance both directions from this intersection, so that
there should be no unsafe entry conditions. Mr. Carroll indicated concern about the new
roadway ending at the Greeley No. 2 ditch. He was unaware there is an existing bridge
across the Greeley No. 2 ditch with which the new road will connect. He and I agree that
there is no need for a barricade as he had suggested.

A detention pond will be provided at the site to contain the drainage from the site itself
and to provide for drainage from areas north of the site to bypass the detention pond.
Drainage calculations will be provided for Mr. Carroll's review. That design will be using
the accepted criteria in Weld County for drainage calculations for a commercial activity.
MI drainage from areas outside of the specific site will remain in their historical flow
patterns. There is no plan to develop or utilize any lot areas adjacent to the new paved
section. Should that ever occur in the future, the drainage could be addressed at that time.
I believe the foregoing comments address those of Mr. Carroll in his July 5 memo. Should
there be any questions , please contact our office.
Respectfully,

RE: USR 1087 - Filing Deadline Extension
Dear Shani,
SEP 1 3 1995{'
v h
On behalf of Boyd and Allison Meyer, I am hereby requesting an extension of time for
filing and recording the Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit #1086
with the Weld County Clerk and Recorders Office. The filing deadline stated in the Board
of Commissioners Resolution is September 7, 1995.
We have been unable to fulfill all of the conditions in the resolution, though we are
diligently pursuing them. We believe that a 30 day extension will provide ample time to
complete the Plan and Permit ready for filing. Please notify this office of a time extension
approval.
Sincerely,
Nelson Engineers

RE: USR 1087
Boyd and Allison Meyer
Meeting with representative of Colorado Department of Transportation
Dear Shani,
I wish to inform you that the applicant and I met with Gloria T. Hice-Idler of the Colorado Department of
Highways on site on September 8, 1995 to address items as required in the conditions of approval for this
project by Weld County.
We discussed the increase in overall use of that connection, drainage, and the design requirements for the
new proposed pavement. We agreed that the additional traffic anticipated did not warrant a change in the
design of the highway. We also agreed that the radii of the new 24 foot wide asphalt surfacing would be
25 feet at the connection with Colorado State Highway 392 and that a 2% grade away from the existing
pavement would be used within the highway right-of-way. Drainage is not a problem at this location
since the new roadway is at a slight high point and runoff will be dissipated as it has historically to the
adjacent farmland.
There are no utilities planned within the right-of-way. If such are required, a utility permit will be
obtained.
The CDOT will be notified prior to any construction within the right-of-way. The design requirements
are shown on the filing plat.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (970) 356-6362.
Respectfully,
Nelson Engineers
LaVern C. Nelson, P.E.
