Minutes, August 25, 1999 992152 Page 2 BC0016 CONSIDER SETTING SPEED LIMIT AT 20 MPH (MILES PER HOUR) IN GARMACAR RANCHETTES SUBDIVISION AND POSTING SPEED LIMIT SIGNS: Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she has been working with the residents in the area and had requested the Public Works Department to conduct traffic counts,which she submitted for review. She reviewed the traffic count results and explained the Colorado Revised Statute allows the Board to set the speed limit at 30 miles per hour in subdivisions; however, due to the roads being gravel, and the various accesses within a short distance from each other, the residents feel that 20 miles per hour would be more appropriate. In response to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Hempen indicated the locations of speed limit signs, and stated the slower speed limit is justified based on the high amount of traffic in the area, and the speed should be uniform throughout the subdivision. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated there is no formal Homeowners Association. In response to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Hempen stated this speed reduction will only affect interior traffic, as there is no through traffic in the subdivision, and the Weld County Sheriff or State Patrol will answer calls in this area. Responding to Mr. Warden, Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated the residents are not considering a local improvements district at this time. Commissioner Vaad commented that the people complaining are likely the ones driving too fast and causing the dust. Commissioner Geile moved to set the speed limit to 20 miles per hour and post speed limit signs. Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the motion,which carried unanimously.
