Project Description/Narrative - Annexation and Concurrent Zoning
Mountain Cement Company
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located south of Union Pacific Railroad and west of County Road (CR) 33/ 47th
Avenue. The project is comprised of two parcels, Lots A and B of Recorded Exemption No. 1057-03-04
RECX15-0163, parcel numbers 105703400001 (Lot A) and 105703400002 (Lot B) for a combined 93.0
acres. The lots are vacant and currently being farmed with row crops.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The applicant has requested the subject property be annexed into the City of Evans with Heavy
Industrial (1-3) zoning. Per the City's Comprehensive Plan, this property is located within the future
Industrial land use area with rail access.
The proposed project is an Industrial Rail -Served Cement and Cementitious Products Sales Terminal
for the purpose of off-loading cement, pozzolan and slag cement products in dry powder form from
the railcars in a covered building and storing those products in elevated steel or cement silos.
Customers will utilize semi -trucks to be loaded beneath the silos in an enclosed loading area over a
scale through two lanes of operation. The site will operate year-round and will eventually have the
ability for trucks to self -load during off -hours.
The property will be design with the needed rail operations to facilitate rail delivery and storage of
products in those cars to bridge the gaps in the delivery schedule and allow for material in the silos to
be replenished between rail deliveries. The site is served by Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and will
have dedicated on -site tracks for the delivery and pick-up of the railcars. This process will occur
according to the schedule of the UPRR but is likely up to six times a week. A dual rail unloading
station will allow material from railcars to be unloaded quicker to sustain operations. Material from
those cars will then be transported pneumatically to the appropriate silo in the terminal. The terminal
will have four product storage silos, which have the capability to load trucks with cement through
self-sealing spouts and within the confines of the terminal structure beneath the silos. There will be
two loading lanes for those trucks and all products will be weighed on a scale prior to leaving the
facility.
The proposed structures include the rail unloading building, four silos, a compressor building, an
office/control room/break-room/maintenance shop, and motor control room. The structures and
terminal will be installed in a single phase. The exception would be the full rail construction, which
may be phased to match sales volumes. It is anticipated that business and sales will ramp up over
time. The proposed project is not anticipating full -use of the property, so the subject property has
potential for future additional rail service and/or other industrial business opportunities. At this time,
however, no other business or expansion is planned or being requested.
Page 114
The site will consist of the following areas:
1. Concrete drives for customer truck access around the terminal.
2. Gravel laydown areas or parking areas around the terminal building may be utilized.
3. Gravel rail maintenance roadways for car and rail inspection along the track corridor
4. Structures -
a. Rail unloading building -
i. approximately 3,000 square feet
ii. provides weather -protected unloading for the dual -rail unloading stations
iii. sized to completely enclose both tracks and all personnel as they work to
unload the rail cars
b. Four silos -
i. From 32 -foot to 40 -foot diameter
ii. up to 135 feet tall
1. height variance has been requested through a separate application
iii. skirted down to finished grade to provide covered weather -protection for the
scales and loading operations into the trucks
iv. contains dry powder products
c. Compressor building -
i. approximately 500 square feet
ii. controls the air intake quality
iii. abates any operational noise
iv. protects the equipment
d. Office/control room/break-room/maintenance shop -
i. approximately 2,100 square feet
ii. manager's office
iii. employee breakroom
iv. restrooms
v. maintenance shop for working on mechanical projects
vi. storing and repairing the small loader used for on -site activities
e. Motor control room -
i. approximately 500 square feet
ii. used to restrict access into this critical area
iii. protects both the personnel and the equipment from ambient abnormal
conditions
5. Area of maintained native vegetation within 50 feet of the terminal roadways where visibility is
important to traffic and may be reduced to 25 feet in straight sections.
6. Rail lines
7. The remaining project area will be native grasses and is not expected to require maintenance.
8. No outdoor storage of any material is being requested.

PROPOSED UTILITIES
Due to low anticipated domestic water needs to support the employees/operators, it is anticipated
the project will use a City of Evans system or the existing Central Weld County Water District water
main located in CR 33. There are not any water rights associated with the subject property. With
anticipated low water usage, cash -in -lieu is requested for water dedication.
There is no sewage collection system in the vicinity, so the project will utilize an on -site wastewater
treatment system (OWTS) permitted through Weld County, which will have flows of less than 2,000
gallons per day. A sand/oil separator will be installed forthe maintenance shop and periodic rinsing of
site trucks. No customer trucks will be rinsed on -site.
Stormwater facilities will be determined during the Site Plan application process. However, due to flat
nature of the site, a retention pond may be requested/required. The balance of the property will
remain undeveloped forthe initial construction and use of the property.
TRAFFIC
MCC will utilize a single entrance from CR 33/47th Avenue located at the northeast corner of Lot B near
the existing Evans Access Permit No. 0016-2016 location, or approximately 260' south of the UPRR
tracks. CR 33 is an unpaved roadway that has been treated with magnesium chloride. The entrance to
the site will be paved and will accommodate two-way tractor -trailer traffic. This is also the entrance
for all personal vehicles entering the site. The entrance traffic may be controlled by automatic gate.
Regular business hours for customer pickups are expected to be approximately 14 hours a day (4am -
6pm). However, special customer needs and requests may allow for extended hours. It is planned that
the terminal would have no restriction on operating times, as rail cars may need to be unloaded or
could come in at varying hours of the day to accommodate Union Pacific Railroad track availability.
This operation is not expected to exceed ten on -site operators. However, depending on business
levels and the season of operation, this number may fluctuate higher or lower. Customers are
expected to use tractor -trailers for delivery pick-ups. On peak season/days in the spring and summer,
operations could support up to 100 trucks per 24 -hour period.
All customer truck traffic is expected to access the property via Highway 85 at CR 44, then north on CR
33. Based on typical customer requests and demands, the first peak traffic will be about 6 am, with a
second peak likely to occur around 9 am when customers may return for an additional pick-up. A
Traffic Impact Study will be provided during the Site Plan application process.
FLOODWAY
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
Community Panel Number 08123C1710E, effective date January 20, 2016, the parcel is in Zone X, an
area of minimal flood hazard.
There are no wetlands on the subject site or adjacent to the site.

OIL & GAS FACILITIES
According to the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission maps, there are four oil and gas
wells located on the subject property. Two wells have a status of AL (abandoned location) and two
have a status of PA (plugged and abandoned). All buildings will be constructed with a minimum 50'
clearance from the wellheads.
RECOVERABLE GRAVEL RESOURCES
According to "Special Publication 5-B, Atlas of Sand, Gravel, and Quarry Aggregate Resources,
Colorado Front Range Counties" for Colorado Geological Survey, Department of Natural Resources,
State of Colorado, published in 1974, Revised 1975, the subject property is in an area of sandy stream
terrace deposits.
