COLORADO
September 21, 1998
Dear Sir/Madam:
In May of 1997, USR-1142, was approved by the Board of County Commissioners. At this time, the Leahy
Family Farm, LLC, presented their proposal for a race track to both the Planning Commission and County
Commissioners. It was at their direction that they decided what the hours of operation would be for the
proposed facility.
This case was processed, advertised, and discussed based upon the submittal of information they provided.
As you stated, there was discussion concerning hours of operation. The Leahy Family Farm LLC, agreed to
maintain the times as established during the hearing process, as a Condition of Approval. The applicant
accepted all of the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, and publicly stated that they would
adhere to these conditions. One of the Development Standards, imposes limitations on the hours of
operation.
The Conditions of Approvals are clear and the applicant agreed to these standards. In order to change these
standards, the applicant would need to modify the previous agreement they entered into with the Weld County
Planning Commission, Board of County Commissioners, and surrounding neighbors.
This information has been explained to the applicant, and the due process afforded to them would entail the
pursuit of an amendment to the USR.
Thank you for your concern regarding this case. If you should have any questions, please contact me at 970-
353-6100.
Sincerely,
Monica Daniels-Mika, AICP

Dear Ms.Mika:
I have recently been informed of your departments decision to continue to restrict Leahy
Family Farm LLC, USR 1142,to less than 30 hours per week of open operation. I do not think this
decision is in the best interest of Weld County tax payers or the communities of Johnstown and
Milliken. Further,as a user of public and private recreation facilities in the state of Colorado, I do
not believe this is a good decision for either users or the owners. If there have been no complaints
from the three or four individuals who spoke at the hearing on May 21, 1997,why do you continue
to regard those complaints as a reason for restriction rather than listening to the voices of
hundreds of persons who now use this facility?What is your basis for this decision?
I believe this restriction should be lifted. I believe that Leahy Family Farm LLC should be
allowed to be open 8 to 12 hours on Saturdays and Sundays of every weekend of the year, in
addition to three normal 8 hour days during the week,as any other business is allowed to operate.
I do not understand why you consider this inappropriate, and I would like an explanation, in writing,
addressing this issue.
Thank you for your time.

Dear Ms. Daniels-Mika,
I was out at the Leahy Family Farm yesterday for a Rocky Mountain Motocross
Association event. Both of my children compete in the Novice class and have been
riding for 3 years. I also ride and am 50+years old. Since we are from Greeley,
we consider the Leahy Farm to be our"home" track and it is our favorite track
From comments I heard from the Riders/racers that make the rounds to all the
Motocross tracks in the state, it is their favorite track, also. You should see the
hundreds of participants and fans that truly enjoy this type of event. My kids, boys
ages 15 & 17, are so involved in motocross, they don't get into trouble, they
don't have time, as they are way too busy racing or practicing or doing school
work so they can race the next weekend. I like the control I have over their school
work because they are so passionate about racing.
I was most surprised to hear a comment from Josh Kellogg. Josh is a Professional
rider from Ft. Collins. He is one of, if not the best rider in the State and has raced
competitively on the best tracks in the United States with the best riders in the
Country. He is truly a Colorado "star", and someone everyone in the sport
respects. Anyway, his comment after his first race yesterday, was "This is the
best track conditions I have EVER ridden on!".
I think that statement fairly sums-up how we all, as racers and supporters, feel
about the Leahy's track. Their track is the best because of the efforts the Leahy's
put into having a quality place to ride. The entire facility is one that Weld
County should support and be proud of It may be difficult for the non-enthusiast
to see, but in comparison to the other tracks, the Leahy Family Farm is a place
of beauty, with its rolling hills, stream, natural vegetation, and the beautiful
flowers and landscaping Mrs. Leahy has planted around the sign-up office. If
you haven't been there, you need to go see for yourself. You also should visit
some of the other tracks to see the contrast. Leahy's have put a huge financial and
emotional investment into their property and it shows!!!!
Now, I understand, that you are going to continue to restrict their hours of
operation, even though there are no or few complaints. I am at a loss as to why.
No other track that I have been to around this State and Wyoming have the type
of restrictions the Leahy's do. Ma rider, as with most all of us, we have jobs or
school that take up our weekdays, so riding on weekends is our only choice. This
981kz13
is the only track in the state that is not open for practice every weekend.
Saturdays are restricted to afternoon only and Sundays are once a month. If they
have a sanctioned event on one Sunday, they must remain closed for the other 3
Sundays.
It seems to me, that most businesses are open to serve their clients during the
times their clients can be best served. To be closed then is death to a business.
I have been in banking for over 25 years and have witnessed significant expanded
hours in our industry over this period, all for the convenience and demand of the
customers we serve. I am sure you have witnessed similar changes in private
industry from grocery stores to Self Service Convenience Stores. This may be
recreation to me, but to Leahys, it is business, and the only way to survive is to
meet or exceed your customer's needs.
I, and my family, as with most rider/racers, want the track open at all times there
is daylight. In fact, I don't see the fairness of the county restricting their hours in
any form-let them set their own hours. If there are complaints, I'm sure they will
address them as all businesses are expected to do in order to survive. If it were
up to me, I think they should be open dawn to dusk every day, if that is their
choice as business owners.
I was a supporter of this new recreational facility when it went before the county
and through the hearings, I recognize not everyone was in favor of it. Dust and
noise seemed to be the overriding complaint by a few and I believe this time
restriction was placed to "wait-and-see" if the track would be a problem.
Now, that they have been in operation for some time, I still can't address the
noise as I have not visited any neighbors, but I can say that dust isn't the issue. I
have, many times, approached the track from the north seeing a cloud of dust
hanging over the valley, only to find out that the farm to the east is the culprit, not
the track, who surely gets blamed for it. If the track was always dry, riders
wouldn't consider it "the best conditions."
Please consider the wants and needs of those hundreds of people who are paying
for the use of it and are very pleased with how the track is operating, not just the
few complainers, who will never stop complaining about something.
I would like to hear why hours remain restricted. My address is 1914 12th Street,
Greeley, CO 80631. Please respond to me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
