Mr. Ogle,
Thank you for the opportunity to review information associated with the Martin Marietta
application, Case Number: 2MJUSR16-03-1360.
This property is well within the Town of Frederick comprehensive planning area, and is adjacent
to properties that are in the Town's jurisdiction. Town staff has reviewed the request and finds
that it does not comply with the Town's commercial designation for that property. Such
commercial uses typically include restaurants, retail shops, offices, grocery stores and the like.
Town staff is not opposed to the applicant continuing its current operations in that location, but
there are a number of concerns beyond the existing land use that the Town would like for the
applicant to address. Such concerns include:
1. The property is currently accessed solely by Aggregate Blvd, which is owned and
maintained by the Town of Frederick. Because the property is not within the Town's
jurisdiction, no tax revenues are currently paid by Martin Marietta to the Town to offset
the cost of maintenance and repair of the roadway even though the site generates heavy
truck traffic.
2. It appears as though the right-of-way needed to eventually widen the section of
Aggregate Blvd adjacent to the property has not been dedicated to the Town. Because
the property is not within the Town's jurisdiction and any land use cases associated with
the property will not be reviewed by the Town, there is no point within the foreseeable
future where the Town will have the opportunity to exact the needed right-of-way.
3. The processing equipment on -site is an eyesore and the property currently has no
landscaping. The Town recognizes that the area was much more rural when the plant was
initially constructed and became operational. However, as more urban/suburban
development occurs in the area in the form of retail, office, residential and other uses, the
less visually compatible the plant will be. Because the property is not within the Town's
jurisdiction and any land use cases associated with the property will not be reviewed by
the Town, there is no point within the foreseeable future where the Town will have the
opportunity to regulate the appearance of the facility.
4. The site is largely unpaved. As a result, traffic accessing Aggregate Blvd, which is
owned and maintained by the Town of Frederick, track mud and dust out onto the
roadway. This material eventually finds its way into the Town's drainage infrastructure

causing sedimentation and reducing overall capacity. Because the site is not within the
Town's jurisdiction, the Town cannot regulate site surfacing issues.
5. While law enforcement service to the site is currently provided by the Weld County
Sheriff's Department, deputies often have to travel from Greeley or other far-flung
portions of the County to provide service. In these situations, Frederick Police Officers
are obligated to take calls for service if they are in the area. Frederick Police Officers
typically wait until deputies arrive to provide service except in emergency situations
where they provide service immediately. Frederick Police Officers can be tied up on
these kinds of calls for extended periods of time without reimbursement to the Town for
their time.
Town staff has had discussions with the applicant about the possibility of annexing into
Frederick, and would like to pursue that possibility further as a preferred option. Staff believes
that the issues of concern outlined above would most appropriately be addressed through the
Town's annexation process.
Please contact me directly at 720-382-5652 or ckenncdy(af ederickco.arov if you have any
questions or would like to discuss this matter further.
Respectfully,
