Arny l rman - teller of orpostli or) ,r-, Mr 2, 201 X- EXHIBIT 41! Platteville Elementary School - I 12O2 Mein Street Platteville, CO 80651 970 - 350 - /i 2O1 June 25 , 2019 Re : Case # USR1g- 0045 Dear Planning and Zoning Commissions of Weld County: My name is Amy Herrman and I am a resident of Weld County, in unincorporated Platteville. I am the principal of Platteville Elementary and am very active in my community. I am writing today to express my extreme level of concern I have for the re- zoning for special use that is being considered for our neighboring property on CR 33 . My husband and his family run an 88 acre horse breeding and training ranch and have been on this land for 21 years. The rich agricultural culture and heritage made Weld County the ideal place to buy agricultural land and run the ranch. I am very concerned that this part of Weld County is now becoming a commercial /industrial area instead of the amazing agriculture ranches and farms that it has been zoned as. Recently, a very large Anadarko oiligas refinery was approved for less than a mile from our home. This is extremely visible and has Increased truck traffic tremendously. This is what caused our previous neighbors to move. Now, our new neighbors have bought the acreage next to us in hopes that they can use part of their land for the crane company they work for, and create a diesel shop and Crain storage facility for their commercial business . With the gas plant being so close , having this property turn commercial will cause the inevitable death of this area as agricultural land . The business already has cranes and construction equipment operating at all hours creating excessive noise for the livestock and neighbors. We all use wells out here and the likelihood of groundwater contamination will go up with a repair shop next door, regardless of precautions they take. Just this morning , I had to pull into the ditch as one of their dump trucks almost ran me off the road not knowing how to drive on our narrow dirt roads . Our family completely understands and supports the growth of agricultural business ; egg farms , chicken farms and even dog breeding facilities surround us. We do not mind because they are agricultural . I believe if we continue to allow commercial industry to save a dollar and buy agricultural land instead of commercial will only continue the movement. This neighbor is not a local and is moving from out of state . Our family has been farming in Weld county for over 75 years. Please consider the agricultural heritage of Weld County and of this historical area and please do not allow this property to be re- zoned for special use. Thank you for your consideration . Amy Herrman Principal, Platteville Elementary School Resident of Weld County 15674 CR 36 Platteville, CO 80651 EXHIBIT 1 ilk IlD4? 01 Platteville Elementary School 1202 MainStreet Platteville , CO 80651 g70 - 350 - 4201 September 2, 2419 Dear Weld County Planning and Zoning Board : I, Amy Herrman and my husband , Matt Herrman , formally rescind our letter of objection to the project occurring to the east of our home, at the home and business of Joel Velasco. Since writing the objection letter, Mr. Velasco has been working closely with us to mitigate the effects of his plan on our quality of life. Through working with Mr. Velasco, we now feel comfortable with this project moving forward. Our concerns as homeowners in Weld County were never with Mr. Velasco and his company, but rather with the allowance of zoning changes on agricultural land . Having boon assured that restrictions have now been applied to future development on agricultural lands, we feel our future as agricultural landowners is being protected. Please do not hesitate to contact either one of us, Matt at 303- 524- 0751 or Amy at 303- 521- 1681 , if you have any further questions.
