From Case Nos. RE-1943, USR-1132, AmUSR-1132, AmUSR-809, and
Subject: AmUSR-397; J.C.K. Gravel and Boulder Creek Estates, LLC.
The Weld County Public Department has reviewed this proposal; the following comments are
recommended to be a part of any approval:
1. The applicant is indicating that the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has
approved the transport of the conveyor system to pass under State Highway 119 at the bridge
adjacent to the St. Vrain Creek. This needs to be verified with the CDOT. Please contact
Tess Jones at the Greeley office for verification.
2. In reference to the Hamm Pit,23.01 acres,the USR is indicating that WCR 5.5 enters State
Highway 119 at a 45°angle. Weld County has worked with the Olivers on the Meadow Vale
Farms, which is adjacent to WCR 5.5. WCR 5.5 will be realigned to State Highway 119 at
a 90° angle. I would like to have the applicant adjust the mylars to reflect the new
realignment at this location.
3. The applicant has indicated in the Extraction Standards section of the proposal that no
excavation of sand and gravel will occur within 10 feet of the boundaries of the adjacent
properties. The Weld County setback requirement is a minimum distance of 20 feet from the
property lines or right-of-way of any mining operation in an agricultural zone. Irrigation
ditches and rivers require additional setback. Please check with the Colorado State Mining
and Geology Division on those requirements. The 200 feet setback from a "man made
structure" will be reviewed next to every Weld County road prior to approval.
4. Any new accesses to Weld County roads require an access information sheet, which is
available through the Public Works Department located at 933 North 11th Avenue, Greeley,
Colorado.
Addressing Raod Improvements for Heavy Hauling:
Western Mobile Companies along with the other heavy gravel, asphalt, or concrete haulers have
previously entered into a Road Improvements and Maintenance Agreement with Weld County on
the repair, upgrade or paving of WCR 7, WCR 20.5, and designed haul areas within the MUD area.
No additional road agreements would be required for this operation.

RE: CASE NUMBERS: RE-1943, USR-1132, Amended USR-809, Amended USR-397
Dear Todd:
Thank you very much for sending the four related applications concerning the currently permitted
sand and gravel mining operations located on either side of S11119 at St. Vrain Creek to the City
of Longmont for our review and comment. These mining operations are known as the Hamm Pit
(on the north side of SH119) and the Boulder Creek Estates Pit (on the south side of SH119).
According to the applications, the intent is to extend the focus of the processing and sales
activities at the current area located at the northwest corner of SH119 and WCR7 and to install
a portable conveyor under SH119 at St. Vrain Creek so that this processing facility can serve the
mining operations located south of St. Vrain Creek.
The City of Longmont's comments primarily concern St. Vrain Creek. The City of Longmont
and Weld County have plans for a trail along St. Vrain Creek, and I believe Weld County has
plans for a trail along Boulder Creek. The reclamation plans submitted with these applications do
not indicate that there will be trails along either of these creeks that are accessible to the public
in the future. If Weld County has the ability to get the reservation and/or dedication of these trails
as part of this review process, we encourage you to consider it as part of your deliberations on
these applications.
The applications indicate that excavation will either be kept 10 ft. away or 100 ft. away from St.
Vrain Creek. The City prefers the 100 ft. distance. Also, the City requests that Weld County
ensure the mining operations disturb St. Vrain Creek as little as possible.
The applications indicate that the area south of SH119 and St. Vrain Creek is to remain
undisturbed and is reserved as a wildlife habitat. The City supports this intent and assumes that
Weld County will further detail this reservation during its review of these applications.

I trust that Weld County will find these comments useful in your review. If you have any
questions about this referral response, please call Froda Greenberg at 651-8330. Thank you again
for the opportunity to comment on these applications.
Sincerely, r rod County Planning Dept.

Greeley, CO 80631
SUBJECT: JCK Gravel and Boulder Creek Estates
Todd, I have reviewed the above proposal and offer the following comments:
RIGHT-OP-WAY Projected traffic along this portion of State Highway(SH) 119 indicates the need for a 150
foot total right-of-way, 75 feet each side of the highway centerline. Additional width to meet the
projected need should be protected by reservation or preferably, dedication as permitted by County
regulations.
ACCESS Because this development's access is provided by way of a county road connection to State Highway
119, our interest is focused on the condition of that connection.
Since traffic volumes have not been addressed by this proposal, we are not able to determine if an
increase of more than 20% will occur at this connection. Such an increase would deem the access
connection to have changed use and would require re-evaluation of access as defined by Section 2.10.3
of the State Highway Access Code.
The County is reminded of their obligation in regard to this connection. Section 2_10.4 of the Code
states:
"Vehicular use and operation of public accesses (county roads and municipal streets)to the state
highway is the responsibility of the appropriate local authority. The local authority should
maintain access conformance with the Code to the extent feasible and practicable within .
statutory and public funding limitation."
If improvements are required at any highway access, an access permit must be obtained from this office.
UTILITIES If any new utility lines or connections are necessary within the state highway ROW, a utility
permit will be required. Prior to such utility work, the owner of the utility shall contact Dennis Loose
of the Department at(970) 350-2164.
My comments are based upon the submittal as received September 16, 1996. Thank you for the opportunity to
review the JCK proposal.
