COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Oil and Gas
Support and Service (magazine bunker storage of explosives utilized in fracking of oil and gas wells) in the
A(Agricultural) Zone District
This project is west of and adjacent to CR 53.
Parcel number 096332000055.
Access is from CR 53.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access.
The applicant is proposing to use an existing unpermitted access on to County Road 53 located
approximately 2,000 feet south from the intersection of County Road 53 and County Road 52. This access
does not meet the minimum access spacing criteria (See Table 1 below) with the existing unpermitted
access to the property directly north of this parcel. At this time Pubic Works recognizes that the access is
existing and that the proposed special use will only minimally increase access use (i.e. maximum 1 new
roundtrip/day).
No changes to access locations are being proposed.

and label on the site map or plat the future and existing right-of-way (along with the documents creating the
existing right-of-way) and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be
dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code, Sec. 23-1- 90, the required
setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered
in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
Per, Sec. 8-13-30.B, a Weld County Right-of-Way Use Permit is required for any project that will be

speed is 61 miles per hour.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 1
daily roundtrip associated with this use. Fifty (50) percent of the traffic will be going to the north on County
Road 53 and fifty (50) percent of the traffic will be going to the south on County Road 53.

Ms. Ranslem,
As you are aware Noble has a well-site and associated facilities,flowlines, roads, and other equipment for
the production of oil and gas that could be affected by this USR application. That said Noble has no
intention of future oil and gas development in the area subject to USR20-0002, and has no reason to
protest this application, so long as Noble's ability to safely access, produce and maintain its preexisting
equipment is upheld, and has ingress and egress at all times. Furthermore, it is Noble's intent to plug and
abandon the well and remove all equipment associated with this prior to Go Wireline receiving approval
their USR Application.

John Peterson
