Our property is located within five hundred feet of a proposed excavation business in the Agricultural zone district. This proposal has been filed by Larry, Stacy, and Kerri Differ. We were unable to attend the hearing on 21 February 1995, but we do plan to attend the hearing in April. We are strongly opposed to this Special Use permit. Our primary reason is a potential decrease in property value related to business zoning versus residential and agricultural zoning. This proposed business will contain and store heavy machinery such as earth movers, trucks, trailers, and backhoes and increase the number of buildings on the property. We believe this will greatly decrease the aesthetic appeal of the area. We are first time homeowners as of November 1994 and have made a major financial investment in our property over a long period of time. After much searching and researching the real estate market, we made a conscious decision based on the concept of purchasing our home in an area zoned agriculturally, and an area we believed would remain agricultural. In no way do we believe this permit should be granted. It is not fair to any of the thirty-one homeowners in Pinnacle Park for the Differ family to profit from their business at our expense - not to mention the homeowners in the Seeley Lake area. Our secondary reason for objecting to this permit would be concerns over increased traffic and noise on US Highway 392 and Weld County Road 35. This business would increase traffic, noise, and dust, while decreasing safety at that intersection. The large equipment would also cause the roads in this area to deteriorate at a more rapid rate. The large piles of dirt would seem like an attractive, yet dangerous, playground for neighboorhood children. We understand that the Differs' business is also based at another location. We would request that it stay in that area. eA IL; occ; 951196 As far as we are aware, Pinnacle Park is unique in that the covenants required log homes and a certain amount of acreage. This makes for a beautiful area outside of the Greeley city limits. We believe we speak for our community as well as ourselves when we say it would be extremely disheartening to allow the beginning of the destruction of this area by granting this permit. Once again, we strongly urge you and your fellow commissioners to deny this Special Use permit for a business. Thank you for your attention.

I am writing this letter to express mine and my wives concern about Ditter Excavation proposal for a special use permit. I live in Pinnacle Park, just north of where Ditters want to do business. I moved to Pinnacle Park because it was a rural setting like I grew up in and that does not include an excavation business. If the Ditters get this permit and put up shops to work on equipment or clean out trucks I believe that will detract from the housing addition. I also believe that the business will lower my property value and make it unattractive to potential buyers. The added traffic that will be created by the trucks and machinery will make this a hazardous intersection. We have already had numerous accidents at WCR 35 & HWY 392. I hope you do not approve this special use permit. Tha y l r Steve & Deb Ross 16974 Longs Peak Road Greeley CO. or your time. tbbff �ss� : G26;! -it j ✓'<-ere 951196 [1 CiTH fs.r) CLE . March 13, 199s Dear William Webster. My husband. Carl. and I purchased land in Pinnacle Park sixteen years ago and built our home with our own hands. because we liked the quiet. solitude. and clean air of country living. We are concerned about the ayol icat.ion of a use -by -special review permit by the Ditt.er family. for property located at the intersection of County Road 35 and Colorado 392. Such use will cause an increase in traffic on an already over burdened Colorado 392 as well as a hazard for the intersection of WCR 35 and Colo. 392 and a hazard for residents of Pinnacle Park when entering and leaving. The noise. dust and pollution will increase and our property values will decrease. Please. vote against this use -by -special review permit.

We moved to Weld County for a quality of life that includes clean air, quiet and open space. We are very sorry that Mr. Ditter has applied for a variance in Weld County for excavation and a commercial operation that will depreciate the estate value of Pinnacle Park, as it will bring noise , congestion, traffic, dust and lack of esthetics to our neighborhood. We are opposed to this short sighted use of agricultural zoning. Thank you. Sincerely, out, c(1-61--,_ William -W. Adams, Greeley Gas Mary F.

We question whether this change complies with the long range comprehensive plan for Weld County and what effect this change will have on the value of the surrounding properties. This land is between two subdivisions with the value of homes between $200,000 and $500,000. The additional traffic of trucks,loaders,backhoes and pickups, leaving and entering highway 392 present a dangerous access. There would also be a traffic hazard if access were allowed off of road 35. The present occupants of this land have established a motor bike raceway and a firearms shooting range. Are these to be included as part of the special use permit? We believe the request for a special use permit should be denied,and the excavation business be moved to a less dangerous industrial location. 7-0 Bennett Anderson i A-O:14t_Jt t :Johann Anderson FEB 1 4 1995 951196 Brooke Ballard 16527 Longs Peak Rd. Greeley, CO 80631 February 8, 1995 Mr. Todd Hodges Weld County Dept. of Planning 1400 N 17th Ave. Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Hodges, I recently heard of the proposal request for zoning change from agriculture to industrial at Weld County Road 35 and Colo, Highway 392, I strictly oppose any change within the zones. The truck traffic on Hwy. 392 is presently heavy, and very busy on this narrow, shoulder -less two lane road. The north and south bound traffic is also vigorous and makes the intersection between Hwy. 392 and WCR 35 unsafe. I strongly oppose increasing truck traffic at this intersection. Zoning change would complex an already growing problem in our peaceful area. I strongly urge you to deny the request.

As a resident of this area I strongly oppose any rezoning to industrial purposes. 1) This location is unsuitable and dangerous for any increased heavy truck traffic. As a resident of Pinnacle Park, and a past member of the Eaton Fire Department, I can testify to numerous accidents and near misses involving trucks, cars, bicyclists, equestrians, and farm equipment. There is no easy access on or off the property and any increase in truck traffic would make this busy intersection even more dangerous for the Hwy. 392 traffic and residents of the area. 2) This location is unsuitable for industrial purposes as it sits in the immediate area of both residential and agricultural properties. Over the years this area has evolved into a neighborhood with many fine homes. We do not want our properties degraded and subjected to the abuses that could come with industrial zoning. This could adversely affect property values and in turn property taxes. There are many other fine underutilized industrial areas in Weld County. Let's not add more industrial zones by taking land away from more valuable rural residential and agricultural eG. As a resident who wants to maintain the quality of our area, I urge you to deny any request for rezoning to industrial purposes.

I understand that the Deeters requested permission to park equipment used in their excavating business (backhoes, trucks, etc.) on their property. It is also my understanding that this permission may be denied based on the concern of several neighboring property owners. My husband and I have resided within 1/2 mile of the above - mentioned property since August 1993. Since the Deeters have purchased the property this summer, we have seen only improvements in the appearance and maintenance of the buildings and land, even with the equipment parked there. Thus far, they have shown more discretion parking their equipment in an orderly manner than some area property owners have displayed with their vehicles and recreational equipment. I do not want an industrial park within 1/2 mile of my house either; however I find it difficult to believe that the Deeters hope to transform their homesite into such a place. Instead, I believe that they are entrepreneurs avoiding extra business costs whenever possible. As long as they continue to keep the property in its present good condition, I have no objections to the equipment parked there, and thank them for cleaning up property that was an eyesore a year ago.
