Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. We
strongly encourage you to discuss your access with Public Works prior to laying out your site plan to ensure
the approved accesses are compatible with your layout. Per Sec. 24-8-40, when feasible, there shall be no
net increase in the number of accesses to a public road. Minimum access spacing are shown in Weld
County Code, Sec. 8-14-30 Table 1. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more
information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHTS-OF-WAY
County Road 22 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires 140 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall
delineate 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 or reserved per Weld County Code. 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.
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to state highways.
Please contact Tim Bilobran at the Greeley office (970-350-2163) to verify the access permit or for any
additional requirements that may be needed. (State Highway 85)
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has completed a US 85 Planning and Environmental
Linkages (PEL) Study. The objective of the US 85 PEL Study is to develop a strategic vision for US 85
between 1-76 and the Town of Nunn. Please review the US 85 PEL Study to ensure you are in compliance
with the requirements. More information about this study can be accessed at:
https://www.codot.gov/projects/us85pel.
Per, Sec. 8-13-30.B, a Weld County Right-of-Way Use Permit is required for any project that will be
occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and/or encroaching upon, any County rights-of-way
or easement. Right-of-Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at
https://www.weldgov.com/departments/publicworks/permits/.
Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate
existing utilities within the County right-of-way.
TRAFFIC
The latest ADT(2019)on CR 22 counted 2,654 vehicles per day with 40%trucks. The 85m percentile speed
is 62 mph.
The preliminary traffic impact analysis submitted with the application materials indicates that there will be
approximately 500 daily roundtrips at full build-out (semi-trucks, tandem trucks, delivery vans) and 25 daily
round trips of passenger vehicles. 100% of the traffic will access State Highway 85. The western portion
of the site will directly access State Highway 85. The eastern portion of the site will access County Road
22 and travel to the west for access onto State Highway 85.
An acceptable Final Traffic Impact analysis shall be submitted.
TRACKING CONTROL
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. For access to paved
roads, tracking control devices can be double cattle guards with 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft of asphalt.
Recycled concrete is not allowed in County right-of-way. Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-
way is required just prior to entering publicly maintained roadways. A variance request for alternatives to
the tracking control requirement can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration.
Prior to construction, the eastern portion of this site shall install double cattle guards and 100 ft. of asphalt
or 300 ft. of asphalt.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH UP-FRONT IMPROVEMENTS
Public Works is requiring an Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement for dust control, damage
repairs to specified haul routes, triggered off-site improvements and up-front off-site improvements.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/USR-SPR-Permits%201mprovements%20Agreement%20Template.pdf. It will detail the approved
haul route(s), outline the required up-front off-site improvements, designate when other off-site
improvements will be triggered, and include a maintenance agreement for the haul routes.

Re:Case Number: USR20-0030—Ragsdale Reservoirs Gravel Mine
Dear Kim Ogle:
On behalf of United Power, Inc.,thank you for inviting us to review and comment on the Ragsdale Reservoirs Gravel
Mine.After review of the information,there is electrical distribution in the area that may or may not need to be
upgraded depending on the requirements of the site, in order to provide safe,reliable power to the area.
Currently, United Power has electrical distribution in several different locations that reside within both the west and east
side of the site locations.This includes both overhead and underground services. It will be imperative that United Power
can maintain all existing rights,facilities/equipment,and existing easements. Please work closely with United Power
during the construction and mining process if any electrical infrastructure needs to be de-energized, removed, or
relocated. Please note that any cost associated, and easements needed due to the relocation of infrastructure will need
to be provided by and at the expense of the applicate.
Please have the property owner/developer/contractor submit an application along with CAD data for
new/removal/relocate electric service via https://www.unitedpower.com/construction. United Power would like to work
with these persons early in the construction process on getting an electric design prepared so that we can request any
additional easements needed and hopefully have those easements dedicated on the plat rather than obtaining separate
document(s). Obtaining easements via a separate document can be time consuming and could cause delays.
As a Reminder:No permanent structures are acceptable within the dry utility easement(s);such as,window wells,wing
walls, retaining walls,basement walls,roof overhang,anything affixed to the house like decks, etc. United Power
considers any structure that impedes the access, maintenance, and safety of our facilities a permanent structure. No
exceptions will be allowed, and any encroachments could result in penalties.
Service will be provided according to the rules, regulations, and policies in effect by United Power at the time service is
requested.We look forward to safely and efficiently providing reliable electric power and outstanding service.
Thank you,

Weld County Department of Planning Services;
RE: Case Number USR20-0030
Although identified as a Co-Applicant, the Platte Valley Irrigation Company ("PVIC") is
the fee owner of only one (Parcel No. 130919000036) of the nine parcels identified in
Case No. USR20-0030, and will not be performing any of the mining activities subject of
this application.
While PVIC does not oppose the permit sought herein, Co-Applicant Cannon Land
Company (Cannon) has not yet entered into a comprehensive agreement with PVIC to
fully protect PVIC's real property interests during the mining operations Cannon seeks.
Any permit issued by Weld County for mining operations should be conditioned on
Cannon's execution of such an agreement with PVIC prior to commencement of the
permitted mining operations.
Additionally, PVIC is aware that post-mining, Cannon intends to develop lined water
storage reservoirs on one or more of the subject parcels. Again, PVIC does not oppose
such post-mining land use, but requests that any permit issued by Weld County for such
post-mining use be conditioned on Cannon's execution of an agreement with PVIC to
fully protect PVIC's real property interests post-mining.
PVIC does not submit any additional response at this time, but reserves its right to
supplement its response as this application progresses through the Weld County land
use process.
Sincerely,
Kevin W. Schmidt

Concerning USR20-0030
Cannon Land Company and Platte Valley Irrigation
To Whom It May Concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the USR210-0030 application and site map material. The
Platteville-Gilcrest Fire Protection District has some minor comments and concerns that probably
can be addressed after the approval of the USR. However, we find it helpful to the applicants to
let them know of these items as early as possible, so we may cut off misunderstandings later in
the process.
Items for which we have comments or concerns.
1. Site access will require a Knoxbox for a master key of the site. This can be in the form
of an electronic key box for electronic gate or stationary key box.
2. All fire access gates, and roads are required to be a minimum of 20' wide with an
overhead clearance of 13'6". The fire access roads will be constructed of approved
material capable of supporting the imposed load of fire apparatus weighing at least 75,000
pounds.
3. Fire access roads can be no steeper than ten percent grade.
4. All building permits will need to be submitted for fire plan review to our jurisdiction.
We look forward to working with you all in this process and if you have questions or concerns
please contact me when ever needed.
Respectfully,
Jeff Cogburn
