Recognizing that the Weld County Planning Commission will aI would appreciate it forward a copy of this letter to them with hePlann Planning Commission if packetyou ould .. As you know, we are presently working on a draft Intergovernmental Agreement with the County Commissioners for planning purposes. One of the critical items that will be addressed in the agreement is the designation of an urban growth boundary area in which urban uses may take place. The proposed site for the Meyer USR is expected to be outside the City's urban growth boundary area and therefore is an area within which urban -type development, including retail uses, should be not take place. The concept behind the designation of an urban growth boundary area precludes this random, isolated commercial growth from occurring. While this type of use, on an individual basis, does not appear to be one which would cause a significant impact on the surrounding area, the County officials should be aware of the potential for such uses along Highway 392. The proliferation of such uses does not promote good planning and will eventually impact traffic and other permitted uses along the corridor if allowed to continue. 951997 Shani Eastin Page Two July 17, 1995 The City of Greeley Planning Staff will be recommending denial of this request to the Greeley Planning Commission on August 8. The applicant and his agent have been informed of our recommendation. We strongly recommend that the Planning Commission and County Commissioners deny this request.

Side 4 Miles E. of Windsor JUL 15I9p6 Dear Shani: We have reviewed the Boyd and Allison Meyer Site Specific Development Plan, and offer the following comments: ACCESS The narrative states that approximately two employees and eventually 16 customers will visit the site per day. The submittal does not address the existing traffic volumes to the site. The property does not border the state highway and an access easement is shown on the east property boundary. We assume that access is shared with the neighboring properties. If the increased traffic to this expanded site equals a 20% increase of the overall use of an existing State Highway (SH) 392 access, we have a warrant to re-evaluate that access. If the existing drive is not in conformance with the State Highway Access Code (SHACode) we may require improvements to the existing access in order to bring it into conformance. This could require relocation or reconstruction of access, or improvements to the highway. Please clarify the issue of increased volume and determine whether or not an increase of 20% will result at the existing drive. If so, please have the applicant contact the Department in order to set a site meeting to discuss possible access improvements. The access configuration must be designed for the largest vehicle using it. The proposed surfacing of the access with asphalt will require an access permit from this office. I can be reached at (970) 350-2148 to schedule a site visit. 951907 Ms. Shani Eastin July 12, 1995 Page 2 Meyer Site DRAINAGE The plans indicate that drainage will flow down and away from the highway. A detention system on the site is also planned. Be reminded that the highway drainage system is for the protection of the state highway ROW, and is not intended to accommodate drainage from abutting properties beyond that which has historically been accepted. 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. Our comments are based upon the submittal as received June 29, 1995. Thank you for the opportunity to review the Meyer Site Specific proposal. Sincerely, Gloria T.

TOO AL: Tar Olg July 5, 1995 I have reviewed the application and the drawings and have the following comments. Under Ordinance No. 180, Access Appendix B, the access to a commercial facility should have a minimum of 24 feet of pavement with a 40' radius, and three to four foot gravel shoulders. The applicant indicated 20 feet on the drawing. The applicant needs to place a typical cross-section of the pavement section showing width, depth of asphalt and gravel, and borrow ditches if required. The access point is off State Highway 392. The State has jurisdiction on the access point and Teresa Jones with Greeley CDOT should be contacted to acquire an access permit if needed. The applicant indicates there will be approximately 800' of pavement stretching from 392 south to the Greeley No. 2 Ditch. At this particular location, I would like to see a type -3 barricade placed if there are no plans for a bridge. The applicant has indicated all the drainage will flow into the detention pond. I would like to see calculations on sizing the pond and how the release will be handled. Are there any plans in place for the adjacent lots to access onto the paved section? If so, we may need to address the drainage at this particular time.

TJ/cs-1087 9519n7 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1000 10TH STREET, GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 (303) 350-9780 Ms. Shani Eastin Current Planner 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80634 Subject: USR-1087 - Boyd and Allison Meyer AUG 18 1995 tij u.dEC5 Dear Shani: At the City of Greeley's regular Planning Commission meeting held August 8, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of the Meyer proposal for the following reasons: The Weld County Comprehensive Plan encourages commercial and industrial uses in the Agricultural zone, that are directly related to or dependent upon prime agriculture, to locate within agricultural zoning when their impact on surrounding properties is minimal and adequate services and infrastructure are available. An example of an industrial or commercial use directly related to or dependent upon the agricultural industry, according to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, is a commercial feed lot or a farm implement dealership. If a retail shop selling buffalo meat and T-shirts is considered to be a commercial use directly related to or dependent upon the agricultural industry, then so is a grocery store or butcher shop. It was not the intent of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan to promote retail uses such as this in the Agricultural zone. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan is also very clear in stating that conversion of agricultural land to residential, commercial, or industrial development shall be discouraged when the subject site is located outside of a municipality's comprehensive plan area, urban growth boundary area, or I-25 mixed -use development area. The Plan goes on to state that in the event residential, commercial, or industrial development desires to locate on non -prime agricultural land outside of an urban growth boundary area, the application for such development shall be carefully evaluated to determine if any equally suitable location is available in areas established for such development. The application materials must demonstrate that the proposed use cannot reasonably be located in a municipality or urban growth boundary area. The Planning Commission especially wished to point out that this application does not attempt to demonstrate the reasonableness of the location of the proposed use or to demonstrate that the use could not be located within a municipality or urban growth area. 951.90? kit/ Atf Page Two Shani Eastin August 11, 1995 While this use does not appear to be one which would cause a significant impact on the surrounding area, it does not comply with the City of Greeley's Comprehensive Plan or with the concept of the Intergovernmental Agreement with Weld County toward which we are moving. The Greeley Comprehensive Plan establishes two areas by which to measure expected future growth -- the Long -Range Expected Growth area, within which development is expected within the next two to three decades, and the Mid -Range Expected Service Area, which reflects areas anticipated for development within five years. This site is several miles outside of the Long -Range Expected Growth Area, and even farther from the Mid -Range Expected Service Area. The City's Comprehensive Plan does not encourage the location of any retail -type use in such an isolated location. Rather, the plan encourages clustering of commercial uses and then mainly at arterial intersections, obviously within the corporate limits of the City or within an expected growth area. The Intergovernmental Agreement with Weld County toward which we are working will designate specific areas within which urban -type development may take place with the concept that areas between the designated urban growth areas of each town or city will behave as community separators and will have no urban -type growth. This area is approximately 1.5 miles west of the area which Greeley plans for urban - type growth, and is approximately 1 mile from the area designated as Windsor's primary growth area. Clearly, this area should function only as a community separator and should be reserved for agricultural uses. The last issue which needs to be addressed is the number of County uses which have been approved in this area and specifically along the Highway 392 corridor. Attachment G shows Special Review Permits which have been granted along Highway 392 in this area. The uses shown include a kennel, a crude oil facility, a chiropractic office, and two agricultural service establishments (farm equipment sales). While approval of one of these uses may not seem to have much of an impact on the area, the County Commissioners need to make note of the impact these seemingly benign uses have as a group, specifically in regard to the volume of traffic and the safety of the access points onto a state highway. As always, we appreciate the chance to comment. Please forward a copy of this letter to each Commissioner prior to the public hearing regarding this request. Thank you. Very truly yours, Lanell J.
