The applicant has requested for a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Use Permit for an
agricultural and sugar beet receiving station.
I have visited the site and have the following comments:
The existing sugar beet receiving station was located directly south of the new proposed facility.
The existing area was subdivided into a housing community then annexed by the Town of Mead.
The two original accesses need to be abandoned at the existing sugar beet site to minimize accesses
on to WCR 13 from the housing development.
The applicant has requested two new accesses from WCR 13 to the facility, one access being an
entrance, the other being and exit. i Both of these access points would require a large culvert to
accommodate the existing drainage in place: Our traffic count records are indicating 700 to 800
vehicles per day. We have done extensive repair on WCR 13 between the existing entrance to the
beet receiving station and State Hwy 66 due to heavy hauling from this location. The County still
maintains WCR 13 from St. Hwy 66 north through the facility even though the Town of Mead has
annexed the SW 4 of this section.
The County will not allow parking on the side of WCR 13 or staging of any beet trucks on the
shoulder prior to entering the facility.
On WCR 32, there is no access proposed in the 600' section in question. There are two accesses
directly east and across the street from the farm houses. These are accessing tank batteries and well
heads. If excessive hauling occurs in WCR 32, the applicant may be asked to provide dust control
in front of the houses adjacent to the facility. A stop sign needs to be placed at the exit point to
provide additional safety., There is a good possibility with the volume of truck traffic entering and
existing the facility of tracking large volume of mud and debris on to WCR 13 causing a possible
maintenance or safety problem. The applicant may look into possibly paving a section from the
scale house to the road or a tracking pad to eliminate this potential problem.;

Dear Shani:
We have reviewed the application for the Sugar Beet Receiving
Station to be located in the southeast corner of Weld County Road
(WCR) 13 and WCR 32 approximately one mile north of the
intersection of State Highway (SH) 66/WCR 13. The Department's
interest in this development is in regard to the traffic to be
generated by this use and its impact upon the state highway.
We have received several inquiries regarding the safety of that
intersection, the accident history at that location, and the
probable impact that increased traffic will have.
Traffic information was provided in the review package. The
projections seem to be conflicting. Don Carroll's memorandum
dated April 19, 1995, states that 700 to 800 vehicles per day
will come to this site. There is no specific address made of the
direction of travel to and from this site. There is also no
address made of the impact of this traffic upon the State Highway
System, specifically the intersection of WCR 13 and SH 66.
My SH 66/WCR 13 site visit indicates a narrow paved roadway on
WCR 13 and minimal radii, which do not, at this time, provide
adequate turning radius for the large agricultural vehicles which
frequent that intersection. There are minimal shoulders and deep
ditches immediately adjacent to the intersection, culverts end
very near the edge of shoulder, and the flow line is
approximately four feet below the pavement grade. The single
home which is in the northeast corner of the intersection is

surrounded by trees and the property bordered by a fence. A
sign also exists at the fence corner. The trees, fence, and
string of utility poles at the right-of-way do not obstruct
southbound vehicle site distance from the normal distance of 10
feet back from the intersection for vehicles stopped preparing to
pull out onto the highway or cross the highway- However, lavehirge
er
vehicles which turn at the intersection require waiting
which are southbound on WCR 13 to.back away from the intersection
in order to allow the large vehicles to make their turn. This is
due the proximity of the culverts, the narrowness of shoulders,
and the lack of adequate radii.
The lack of auxiliary lanes, adequate shoulders, and proper radii
require all turning maneuvers at the intersection to be made at a
very slow speed, disrupting high speed_traffic on SH 66.
There is no address made of the current traffic onorthbound
ddontWCR
13 at SFt 66. Please be advised that if this proposal
po
he
sugar beet receiving station increases the currentintersection
use by more than 20 percent, the Department strongly
improvements to the existing intersection configuration. The
conditions which exist at this intersection are currently not
standard for the vehicle types.
Please be reminded that the State Highway Access Code (Code),
which governs access to SH 66, assigns the responsibility for
vehicular use and operation of this intersectionnatosn to the the
appropriate local authority. The app
county currently maintains WCR 13. Section 2.10.4 of the Code
reads as follows:
Vehicular use and operation of public accesses (county roads
and municipal streets) to the state highway is the
responsibility of the appropriate local authority. The
local authority should maintain access conformance with the
code to the extent feasible and practicable within statutory
and public funding limitations. The local
authority
contributions
fund any necessary improvements by requiring
from the primary users of the access or as off-site
iteafet
subdivision improvements necessary for the pp' cnd fetyion
pursuant to section 30-28-133 and 133.1,
31-23-201 to 227, C.R.S., or other available public funds.
We have reviewed accident history at this intersection. My most
comprehensive report provides information from January 1990
through December 1994. That accident report identifies to total

accidents, the majority of which occurred during daylight hours.
The intersection of SH 66 to WCR 13 does not appear to be a high
accident location; although, a flashing beacon does exist for
this stopping traffic on wCR 13 indicating that this location has
been recognized as a potential hazard.
Again the Department states our position that the intersection
currently is not in conformance with the Code and recognizes that
backing maneuvers for use of the intersection by large vehicles
presents a hazardous and unsafe condition for both the
intersection traffic and the through traffic on SH 66.
If the County determines that access improvements can be made (as
it appears they are warranted) a state highway access permit must
be obtained through this office. I can assist with the
particulars of that application process.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this proposal. I hope
that our comments have been pertinent and meaningful.
Sincerely,
