Box 850 Greeley, Colorado 80632-0850 (303) 353-1232 June 23, 1995 Mr. Todd Hodges - Current Planner Department of Planning Services Weld County Administrative Offices 1400 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Todd: Weld County, SH 71 Weld County Department of Public Works 1/2 Mile S. of WCR 116 N.E. of Stoneham WELD COUNTY Pi1t1fi'- v D JUN 2 6 1995 iF n t) t). The Weld County Department of Public Works Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for a gravel pit has been reviewed. An Application for State Highway Access Permit has also been received and is currently being processed. We offer the following comments: RIGHT-OF-WAY A site visit to this development was made on June 22, 1995. It appears that the right-of-way either side of the highway centerline is more than adequate. ACCESS The property is served by a single access located on the north end of the property. The application for permit states that the existing access is to be relocated approximately 1,150 feet south to allow for better sight distance. Having been to the site we would agree that this is a good decision. Specifics of access design were not addressed in the Development Review, but have been included in the application package. They appear to be appropriate. DRAINAGE The application package states that the County is willing to place a culvert should one be required. After discussing drainage issues with Mr. Allan Pierce of our Sterling Maintenance, the Department has determined that an 18" culvert will be required under the new access. The applicant is reminded that any construction at the site shall provide that no increase of surface runoff to the state highway ROW shall occur. UTILITIES If new utility lines or connections are necessary within the state highway ROW, a utility permit will be required. Prior to such utility work, Mr. Henry Rangel of the Department should be contacted at (970) 350-2111. 551Et4 Mr. Todd Hodges June 23, 1995 Page 2 Weld County Public Works Our comments are based upon the submittal as received May 31, 1995.

Subject: Case USR-1085, Tappy Gravel Pit On June 9, 1995, Todd Hodges and I have visited the site and agreed to move the existing access point from the north end of the property to the south end due to the lack of site distance. The access is situated across from the ranch access. After visiting with the Highway Department, we determined that this would be a safer situation, and we are amending the access point on the drawing for safety reasons. cc: Commissioner Webster USR-1085 file :planl.dc WELD COUNTYPI.ANNING p JUN 2 2 1995 lj E©E VE 951854 Hello
