At the CR 47 Neighborhood Meeting held on October 2, 2017, Western Sugar expressed concern regarding their haul route during the construction of CR 47. As a condition of USR-1654, Western Sugar's approved haul route is CR 66 east to CR 47 then south to CR 60.5 for hauling beets from the site to Fort Morgan. Since the project will close CR 47 between CR 60.5 and Highway 392, their approved haul route will not be available. Therefore, Western Sugar has submitted a letter requesting that a temporary haul route south on CR 43 to CR 60.5 and then east on CR 60.5 to the Weld County Parkway. The temporary haul route is several miles shorter than the detour route designated for the CR 47 project. Public Works has reviewed Western Sugar's proposed haul route and recommends the temporary change to the haul route approved by USR-1654 to be allowed. The proposed haul route is entirely on paved roads and is several miles shorter than the haul route designated by the project. The temporary change to the haul route should be limited to the project construction period which is scheduled from November 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018. If the project is completed prior to December 31, 2018, the temporary haul route should be reverted to the approved haul route contained in USR-1654. I will plan on attending the BOCC hearing to answer any questions that the Board may have regarding this agreement.

We feel a safer route for the rehaul trucks hauling sugar beets to the Fort Morgan factory would be to use CR 66 east to CR 43 south to CR 60.5 east to CR 47 and south to Hwy 34 and the reverse route returning for another load. Using the designated detour route via intersections at CR 51 and CR 60.5 and on Hwy 392 at CR 51 and CR 43 present a more unsafe turning pattern for the large quad axle trucks. While the use of CR 43 is not optimal, it is a much better choice for use during construction until CR 47 is complete and can be used for access to Hwy 34. As you and Don Dunker agreed with this request, we would like to formally request to use this route during construction on CR 47. We look forward to the new and improved CR 47 and appreciate your accommodating our request. Please confirm that we can use this alternate route and let me know if you have any questions.

Parrott; Kim Ogle; Clayton Kimmi RE: Temporary Haul Route Request (PL1970 - Western Sugar Cooperative) Western Sugar Proposed Temp Haul Route.pdf The request came about because we are closing Western Sugar's haul route down for construction. They have no option but to use another route while construction is being completed. While we have not designated their proposed haul route as a detour route, it will likely become one of the two preferred detour routes for the project. The primary detour route is to the east of CR 47 utilizing CR 51. However, for those businesses west of CR 47, the detour route will likely be down CR 43. See the attached pdf for a map showing the various routes. According to information in the Western Sugar USR application, they haul beets from the facility on CR 66/CR 43 to Fort Morgan between November and February. I think an argument could be made that the use of Western Sugar's proposed haul route is temporary because it will be shorter than the 6 months generally used by the Planning Department to determine if a use is temporary or not. The project will be completed by the time Western Sugar needs to do the hauling for 2018/19 so their proposed haul route would only be for the 2017/18 season. I am sure other USRs in the area will face the same issue as Western Sugar. Hope this additional information helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. Clay Kimmi, P.E.

The attachments are the PW recommendation, Draft Notice, Draft Resolution, 2008 Hearing Cert, 2008 Resolution. If I understand correctly, this request is for a route that differs from the standard construction detour and cuts off some distance. If we do need to provide notice, it would probably make more sense to notify the folks on the new route, versus the typical 500 SPO buffer list. I've also copied Kim Ogle since he was the original Planner on the case and may have some input on the matter. Please advise on how you wish to proceed, considering the Board's expedited direction.

CoA #1.G and #1.H address improvements prior to Recording the Plat and I do not show that we ever executed an IA, so I'm assuming staff signed off on the listed improvements done up front. DS #7 and #8 address the designated haul route and DS #36 is the standard language concerning changes requiring an Amendment or filing through Staff. As to the question of whether there was neighborhood opposition, the Cert reflects several individuals who spoke in opposition concerning traffic safety and truck traffic. Please advise as to whether this can be listed on the next available Agenda or if we need to provide notice to SPOs re: temporary change to the route. Thanks! Esther E.
