are exempt from subdivision regulations and allows land use by small agricultural
operations and home businesses. These lots retain the agricultural zoning
designation and support a high -quality rural character, while maintaining freedom
from cumbersome regulations.

Hi Bonnie, I'm glad to see your school getting off to a good start for you!
Your letter was passed to me from my director. We have met at Compliance training in years past, I stopped in last year
and visited with a trainer. In fact I have sent applicants your way when I was unable to test them.
Is there anything more coming in the meeting you would like me to pass on, or is it better that I attend? I am in training
and somewhat hard to reach through Thursday but feel free to leave a message by any means you wish.
Best wishes in your endeavor,
Ron Graves

ENGINEERING QUESTION ANSWERS:
1. The future plan will be to have 4 full time employees & 5 students so that could mean 9 round
trips a day in personal vehicles. We train people to drive trucks and the plan will be to have 3
trucks and the round trip for those could be 3. We do third party testing so we could have 6
extra vehicles coming in a week to test. We are a public business and people could stop by just
to talk about the school and enrollment.
Estimated totals per week:
Personal vehicles: 45 round trips
Semis trucks: 15 round trips
Special training: 6 round trips
People stopping to check out the school: 5
2. I would expect people to come from the north or the south
3. 50% from the north and 50% from the south
4. The busiest time of day would be when employees and students arrive for the day. That time
could be between 6 am to 9am daily.
5. The access is at 4525 Colorado Blvd.

Hello Bonnie,
We need you or Mr. Hurd to complete the drainage narrative questions. I have added some
information under number 1 if you could confirm that you are stating that you are meeting
those exceptions and then fill in information under 2-5, that will complete the drainage
narrative for us. Thank you for the pictures.
i. Which exception is being applied for and include supporting
documentation
Yes we do want to confirm the above statements
ii. Where the water originates if it flows onto the property from an offsite
source
The properties on the north side of us drain onto our property
iii. Where it flows to as it leaves the property
It flows from the North West to the South East and drains in to the west ditch of Colorado
Blvd. It has only happened once in 35 years.
iv. The direction of flow across the property
The water stands still on the property but it it were to drain it would drain to the South East.
(Slope of the land is 2% or less)
v. If there have been previous drainage problems with the property
There have never been drainage issues with the property in 35 years.

RE: 4525 Colorado Boulevard, Dacono, Colorado

Dear Mrs. Babcock:
We have consulted with you regarding drainage conditions at the above referenced site. The larger
west portion of the site is an open field used for a driving instruction course. The smaller eastern
portion of the site (the panhandle with access from Colorado Blvd.) has an office trailer located on
it. The western half of the adjacent property to the south (4505 Colorado Blvd.) is contiguous with
this property and is also used for the driving instruction course. You indicated that recently recycled
asphalt pavement (that was removed from another site, recycled for a second time) was installed on
a portion of the instruction course area to aid dust control. It is our understanding Weld County has
a concern about increased runoff related to the recycled asphalt pavement.
On March 20, 2019 we visually observed the existing drainage conditions at portions of the site. The
instruction course area is bordered by rural residential housing and the office trailer to the east, by
a large agricultural field to the south, by the Stanley Lateral Ditch to the west, and by a small rural
pasture space to the north. The instruction area has bare soil in most areas. There are some areas
scattered with the recycled asphalt, which at this point is more consistent with a poorly graded
gravel, however most of these areas are still generally bare soil. In two locations we observed a
small stockpile of recycled asphalt, each small enough to approximately fit in the bed of a passenger
truck. In one location there is a section of compacted asphalt pavement, approximately the size and
shape of a semi truck and trailer parking space.
The instruction course area has a level to nearly level slope to the northwest, with some depressed
areas. Drainage at the site is very poor and does not appear to flow to any specific area. There are
no apparent areas of channelized flow, only irregular overland sheet flow. At the time of our
observation, the area had standing water in several locations from a storm which had occurred
approximately a week prior.
Based on our review of the drainage conditions at the instruction course area, it is our opinion the
imperviousness of the site (including the contiguous portion of 4505 Colorado Blvd.) has not been

significantly increased by the recycled asphalt pavement and compacted asphalt pavement as
described above. Accordingly, we do not feel the potential for runoff from the site has been
significantly increased. In fact, the wheel ruts from repetitive driving loops appear to have slowed
the runoff sheet flow, almost acting as detention to a small degree. It is our opinion the negligible
increase in potential runoff does not require mitigation. We feel the existing drainage will continue
to function as it has historically.
