I am writing to you in regard to the application of Dusty and Karrie Thomas as set forth in
USR 17-0035 application. Our office represents John Moser, Morwai Dairy LLC and West Moser,
Inc., who are landowners nearby the site of the planned USR. I should first state that none of our
clients oppose the plan proposed by Dusty and Karrie Thomas, but our clients did wish our office
to contact your office and express the particular concern our clients have with regard to motor
vehicle traffic in the area.
Among other things, our clients operate Morwai Dairy LLC, and a related composting
facility, on properties which are very near the site of the USR application. As you can understand,
there is a considerable amount of motor vehicle traffic, including large semi -trucks and trailers
transporting both milk and compost materials in the area. Additionally, our clients have a number
of employees who commute to the Morwai Dairy site. Our clients also advise us that both Noble
Energy Company and Anadarko Petroleum Inc. have drilled and are operating a number of oil
and gas wells in the nearby area. In particular, those oil field operations result in a significant
number of oil field trucks being placed on Weld County Road 30 and Weld County Road 32, west
of County Road 49. In addition, our clients naturally have plans for the future use of their
properties, which may typically add some additional burdens to the traffic patterns in and near the
Milton Reservoir site.
Our clients wish us to simply bring this to the attention of the Weld County Planning
Department in order that the Planning Department might be keenly aware of the concerns the
neighbors have of increased traffic and the need for appropriate monitoring of the traffic by the
Weld County Planning Department. It is naturally expected that the increase in traffic flow on the
nearby roads, increased significantly perhaps by the approval of the USR application, may result
in serious traffic congestion throughout the area.
Naturally, our clients' operations, which have been in effect for many years, produce

significant agricultural smells from the dairy, composting and related operations. Our clients feel
that it is extremely important that the applicant, as well as any potential future users of the UR,
are made aware of the existence of our clients" operations nearby, and that such operations
naturally generate smells, flies and other products from their operation.
Our clients do not have a solution by any means to the increase in the traffic demands on
nearby roadways, but our clients wish to express to the Weld County Planning Department that
the increase in use which maybe brought about by granting the USR application, as well as the
naturally planned increase in use as the properties develop in the coming years, should be studied
very carefully in implementing road and traffic designs in the coming years.
Our clients appreciate your considered attention to this matter, and if you should have any
questions or if you wish to discuss this with our office or with our clients, you should feel free to
contact us at your convenience.
Yours very truly,
WITUVER. :. BURG,
