Please consider this fetter an objection to the approval of USRl8 -071, I live on a 20 acre parcel
approximately 200 yards south of this property and on the west side at 21245 CR 29.
As l review the USR Planning Question Responses. I take issue with a couple of the answers.
2,b. in my opinion there are not many neighboring properties of similar use. The Closest is on CR
46 approx. 1,5 miles east of CR 29. It is an 80 acre parcel that has been approved for a pipe and truck
yard. Differences are that on the 3 mite stretch of CR 46 (paved) there are only 8 homes, unlike this
property, where there are 7 homes within % mile, all accessing onto CR 44( a gravel road). The next
closest storage yard for O&G is 3.5 miles SW form this property and access onto CR 40
2.c. I homes within IA mile, more than sparse in my opinion.
2,d. In conversations with previous owners of the feedlot, they stated that if the market were to
change,. this win be the first of the feedlots that they own to close and change use to large estate lots,
Mainly due to location and access to major highways,
3. 4 of the neighboring land owners have stated that they moved to the area to be in the Ag
zone and not in a neighborhood of high volume commercial traffic.
4, There are no 0 & G storage yards within 3,5 miles that I am aware of, Nearest being south of
CR 40 and west of Hwy 60.
As you know I have made application for USWs and Recorded Exemptions, for clients, as a part of my
business, but I personally have not made application for a USR in the Ag Zone, if there were more than
the applicants home in the general area, My belief is the toning laws were put into effect for the
purpose of not having industrial/commercial business in with the agricultural zone. One reason, allo tng
for more freedom of movement with ag equipment at a slower rate of speed.
Also there are several Industrial Parks on Hwy 85 and Hwy 60 that accommodate this type of use. The
Town of Ault just gave Final Plat approval to a 9 lot subdivision on the east side of Hwy 85 that allows for
your home and business on the same lot, without a change of zone,
I am opposed to this because I feel it would have a negative impact on the property values and safety of
the neighborhood.
Several of my neighbors have other particular concerns that specifically affect them and I will let them
address their issues.

USR18-0071 Objection
Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
August 7, 2018
Michael,
EXHIBIT
Please consider this letter an objection to the approval of USR18-0071. My family and I live on a 3.3 acre
parcel (21280 CR 29) immediately adjacent and south of the property trying to change its zoning.
I currently share a well with the property owner who is applying for a change of zoning. I don't believe the
well usage was permitted with this in mind as it talks about livestock and household usage etc.. This seems like
a residential well in a residential area to me (refer to specific objection below).
I am concerned with a rezoning near me for numerous reasons.
1. The increased traffic of contractor trucks and having to worry about the safety of my children
with non residental employees (not neighbors) constantly driving by.
2. The potential decrease in my property value being near a Contractor/storage yard - I have seen
what these can potentially look like.
3. This area of road had one last site for development - I assumed city planners would only allow
residential ag zoning for the building of another family home on it not entertain a change of zoning.
4. There are quite a few small children/grandchildren that will be potentially getting on a school
bus in the future on County Rd 29. I have seen a school bus drive down this road daily last year. If my
kids and neighbors kids are loading and unloading onto a school bus in the future I don't think this is
safe increasing traffic onto this quiet country road.
I reviewed the USR Planning Question Responses. I take issue with a few of the answers.
2,a. In my opinion there is some potential irrigation for ag use once the property owner builds a "residence"
listed on the shared well permit. as a garden on agricultural zoned property falls into this category (well
Permit Number 267999) Please refer to conditions for its approval.
4. The use of ground water from this well is limited to fire protection, ordinary
household purposes inside not more than three (3) single family dwellings, the irrigation of
not more than one (1) acre of home gardens and lawns, and the watering of
domestic animals.
This well permit says nothing about commercial zoning or use and clearly is designed for home residences
not a contractor/storage yard. This was one of the reasons I purchased this small ranchette property.

2.b. in my opinion there are not many neighboring properties of similar use. The closest is on CR 46 approx. 1.5
miles east of CR 29. It is an 80 acre parcel that has been approved for a pipe and truck yard. Differences are that
on the 3 mile stretch of CR 46 (Paved) there are only 8 homes, unlike this property, where there are 7 homes
within 'A mile, all accessing onto CR 44( a gravel road), The next closest storage yard for O&G is 3.5 miles SW
form this property and access onto CR 40
.c. 7 homes within 1/4 4 mile, more than sparse in my opinion (many families here.)
3.4 of the neighboring land owners have stated that they moved to the area to be in the Ag zone and not in a
neighborhood of high volume commercial traffic.
4. 1 am not aware of "numerous similar home businesses" in the immediate area ? There are no 0 & G storage
yards within 3.5 miles that I am aware of. Nearest being south of CR 40 and west of Hwy 60.
I feel as some of my neighbors feel that the zoning laws were put into effect for the purpose of not having
industrial/commercial business in with the agricultural zone. One reason, allowing for more freedom of
movement with ag equipment at a slower rate of speed.
Also there are several Industrial Parks on Hwy 85 and Hwy 60 that accommodate this type of use. The Town of
Ault just gave Final Plat approval to a 9 lot subdivision on the east side of Hwy 85 that allows for your home
and business on the same lot, without a change of zone.
I am opposed to this because I feel it would have a negative impact on the property values and safety of the
neighborhood. My wife and two little girls moved to this property looking to live in a small town rural
environment. We want to make this our forever home and this quiet country dirt road with views of the front
range is perfect.
Thank you Michael for taking the time to read my letter and listen to our concerns.

Please consider this as an objection to the approval of U R 18-0071.
We live on a 2 acre parcel south of this property.
As I review the USR Planning responses I take issue with a few issues...
1.) There are 7 other dwellings along CR 29 and the impack of Heavy equipment and all other construction
equipment is really not what I consider quiet life style in the country.
We already have had some impact with big trucks hauling equipment in and out, the speeds have been excessive
.. Plus they have knocked down the stop sign on 29 & 44 and no one has responded to having it repaired .. We have
called weld county to have it repaired . The speeds are also a huge concern as there are several small children along this
road and most of these drivers are NOT paying attention and again don't even bother to stop ...just a roll through on to CR
44
2.) The life style of country living that we have had for the last 30 years has been quiet and peaceful, no loud
equipment and excess traffic on CR 29.
3.) The last point is nobody knows what it will do to the property values, I know if I was looking for country living I
would not want to live this close to a construction yard.... (its already unpleasant as to what has already been done)
3A.) There are industrial areas across Hwy 85 to the east about 3 miles or so, south on Hwy to about 3 miles to me
this a better fit than in the area where there are 7 homes to disrupt...

Planning Department;
Please disallow the rezoning of 21468 WCR 29, Platteville, Co 80651(correct address), Case # USR18-
0071, Help preserve for the present and future the small rural residential community for their families,
small children and grandchildren.
We have lived at our current address for 50 years and hate to see the area turned into an industrial
area, Even though there is a large feedlot nearby, recently, several new family homes with acreages
have been built adjacent to the proposed rezoning site. Furthermore, there are no neighboring
properties being used for similar proposed purposes, In fact, a proposed rezoning for a similar purpose
for PTI, a trucking firm at 13859 WCR 44. Platteville, CO 80651 was denied.

Case4t USP1S-0071.
This letter is in response to the zoning change request at 21468 County Rd 29, Platteville, Co 80651, I
am against this zoning change for the following reasons:
We are located on a quiet rural road were families live. There are young kids that live here.
County Rd 29 is a dirt road and commercial traffic would create a lot of dust and tear up the road.
If zoning was changed and that property is sold, what possible future businesses could move in?
Lower property values.
Please feel free to contact me at 303-502-6635,
