Dear Mr, Billings :
In response to your telephone conversation of
September 1st with Mr. Doug Rice of this office, this is to
confirm that the area desired by the County contains approx-
imately 12 acres . The property which you have requested to
purchase is required for the straightening and connecting of
State Highway. 392.
By your letter of July 14, 1976, - you made an offer
of' $250 .00. per acre. As discussed with Mr. Rice, we are
asking that you revise your offer to $3Q0.00 per acre.
I have hopes of being able to grant you permission
to occupy the site and begin work shortly. As I stated
previously, we understand the urgency of this matter due to
Federal funds being involved and the possibility of the
County losing them.
If the above proposed' $300.00 per acre offer is
satisfactory, will you please so indicate by signing the
attached carbon copy of this letter.
Very truly yours ,

Dear Glenn:
The attached letter and notice was referred to Matt
Delich, Transportation Planning Project Manager of Larimer-
Weld Regional Council of Governments. He consulted with
J. J. Beaver, Planner III of Weld County Planning Department.
Mr. Beaver found that the citizens in the area as well as
the Weld County Planning Department have determined that
the preservation of this line is not essential. In addition,
he checked with Gil Olson of the Weld County Engineering
Department, who said the abandonment was satisfactory and
would hasten the construction of a much needed highway in
this area. Matt then checked with Jim Holt of the Great
Western Sugar Company, who said the abandonment would have
no affect on sugar beet transportation , since they have
been using trucks for the past six years.
I have , therefore , prepared a letter supporting the
abandonment of the Greeley Branch of the Union Pacific
Railroad near Gill , Colorado.
Ifpou have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely, � ®

Dear Mr. Fadina:
Re: U.P.R.R. Right of Way Section 23, T-6N,
R-64W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County,.
,:Colorado
In regard to the above mentioned right of way, I own a portion of the
property in that particular section and am quite interested in acquiring
the right of way at such time as the property is placed on the market.
If you can be of any assistance to me in this matter, or if you have a
representative that I can contact, I would appreciate it.
In the last advertisement or notice by the Interstate Commerce Commission
in the local newspaper, it stated that the property was to be sold to
the County for road right of way. I hope this does not happen as it
would cut my property into two parcels doing much more damage to the
value of the property than could ever have been done by the railroad.
I have been in contact with the Commissioners, however, answers have been
, hard to come by as to the County's position.
Again, I would appreciate it very much if you .could .give me_any answers
or assistance as to the status of the sale of the right of way. I am
awaiting your reply.
Sincerely,
TSC:tv T. S. -(Tom) Collins, 3Y.

Dear Mr. Williams:
This letter is in reference to your correspondence dated May 16, 1975.
Attached to the letter were data regarding abandoned lines that you are
interested in selling.
•
The main consideration herein is that so long as the parcel to be sold is -
delivered to a contiguous property (property owner) there is no violation
of subdivision regulations. If, however, a parcel is to be sold as a non- F
contiguous property, there may be a necessity to utilize subdivision regu-
lations to complete the transaction(s).
At this time, this office has not completed research on property ownership
along both abandoned branches, i .e. , P1 . Valley and Puritan. As we complete
these, we will be happy to forward them to you if this would be desired.
This office would desire to have from your office copies of any contract or
deed that has been consumated and henceforth, any contract or deed prior to
sale so we might review same and indicate to you whether the transaction
will come under the purview of subdivision regulations. If subdivision
regulations are necessary, then we shall at that time determine the proper
procedure and forward same to you.
An understanding should be made clear when parcels are being sold and that
is: If the parcel (s) is being sold to contiguous property, it is not con-
sidered a separate interest (parcel ), but attached and made a part of the
existing parcel . If the property owner desires the piece of property to be .

Dear Mr. Williams: -
The information enclosed is that requested by Mr. R. Douglas Rice in our '
telephone conversation on Friday, May 23, 1975.
The information hum our Planning Commission should give you types of lots
and lot sizes that would comply with the subdivision regulations.
Indicated on the enclosed county map are the following items:
1. (in black) Union Pacific Railroad abandoned right-of-way
which Weld County previously purchased.
2. (in red) the portions which Weld County is interested in acquiring
a. property in the Barnesville area--a cooperative project
between Weld County and the State of Colorado for the
continued construction of Colorado Highway 392 from Barnesville
to Briggsdale where it will junction with Colorado Highway 14
b. property in the Galeton area--the grade crossing which was the
original railroad bed which we need to lower and approximately
one acre of land next to the county road which we need for a
motor grader station.
You will find enclosed an 82" x 11" map of the Galeton area indicating not only
the county road but the area proposed for the motor grader station. •
Due to the necessity for Weld County to proceed as soon as possible with both
projects, we anticipate your early answer to our request. If further information
is needed, do not hesitate to call or write.

subject: Union Pacific R.O.W. at Barnesville
•
• On July 21 , 1975 I was informed by Mr. Rice , of the U.P.
office in Omaha, that the abandonment of the R.O.W. south-
west of Barnesville has been delayed since the case has
not been presented to the ICC. Mr. Rice stated that he
was not sure when the case would be presented and therefore
could not tell us when this R.O.W. would be available for
Highway construction .
This 4, 000 foot stretch of railroad track is urgently
needed , for tie-in of the existing road which is under
construction northeast of Barnesville to the existing
State Highway southwest of Barnesville. I have been
informed by the Colorado Highway Department District
Engineer, Mr. Dwight Bower, that we may lose future
• funding on this road ,since construction has not started
on this 4, 000 foot stretch.
If construction work is not started within the next six
months on this 4,000 foot stretch then it may jeopardize
our entire proposed Barnesville to Briggsdale Project with
the .the State Highway Department. As you know this road
is- being constructed on a 50-50 basis with the State
Highway Department and Weld County.

Subject:
On July 21, 1975 I called Mr. Doug Rice , District Representative ,
Union Pacific Railroad in Omaha, Nebraska concerning the acquir-
ing of R.O.W. from Gill to Barnesville. Mr. Rice stated that
a formal application has not been presented to the ICC as of
this date and he is not sure when the formal application will
be presented for abandonment of this line.
Mr. Rice stated that there was nothing else that Union Pacific
could do at this time regarding this R.O.W. until the case
has been presented and approved by the ICC.
Mr. Rice stated that he is preparing the legal documents necessary
for transferring the land at Galeton to Weld County, and anti-
cipates that this will be done during the next several months.
I indicated to Mr. Rice that it was extremely important that
we proceed as soon as possible with both of these R.O.W. ' ,
The District Engineer in Cheyenne will be sending a survey
crew to locate the property lines at Galeton in the very
near future . I asked that I be notified when the survey crew
was in the area so I could go over the property lines with
the crew.
