PLANNING:
El 1) CONSIDER APPEAL CONCERNING REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL ACCESSES, PERMIT
AP15-0051 - HIGHLAND INDUSTRIAL PARK, C/O CLIFF SIMPSON: Janet Lundquist, Department of
Public Works, presented the request for additional accesses along CR 84 and stated the reason for denial
is strictly due to an increase of access points. Ms. Lundquist displayed a map which was submitted by
the applicant and clarified the access points. She reported the additional accesses are for a new
development. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Ludquist explained that the parcel has been
annexed by Ault, although the Board asked Ault not to annex the roadway. Deanna Frederickson,
representative from AGPROS, reported the Highland Industrial Park is a proposed industrial development
to be located on approximate) a 138-acre parcel. Two of the additional accessses are being requested
as service road accesses. ItA Commissioner Cozad stated she has a problem with the design of the
development because they don't usually grant five (5) access points, and would probably side with staffs
recommendations. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated they should have developed internal access to
the lots and they have plenty of accesses. She said that the Town of Ault was supposed to take care of
this. = Commissioner Conway stated he has concerns with the road possibly getting annexed and not
being maintained. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Frederickson explained how the access
points will be utilized as an emergency access. El Ms. Lundquist stated there is not a maintenance
agreement with the applicant because staff recommends denial of the access points. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer stated she feels this plan is poorly laid out, and five (5) additional accesses are not going to
be approved because it puts a burden on the local County. She agrees with granting an additional access
off of CR 84 with an improvements agreement. a Chair Freeman expressed he has the same
concerns as Commissioner Conway about the Town of Ault annexing the road. a Commissioner
Cozad suggested granting an access point at Ryland Avenue and the applicant can change their internal
plan for better internal circulation. 8 Bruce Barker, County Attorney explained the code doesn't allow
for an improvements agreement with the granting of an access permit. Ms. Lundquist reported that

granting of an access permit. El Ms. Lundquist reported that on the access permits there is a place to
add conditions to the permit and suggested this is where staff could add an improvements agreement.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer reported the Board can deny the access points and have Ms. Lundquist
work with the Town of Ault to get this resolved. Commissioner Conway moved to continue this
matter to February 17, 2016, to allow additional time to work with Ault and the applicant. Seconded by
Commissioner Cozad, the motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
