RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Narrative:
County Road 39 South of County Road 18 is a dead end road that services a local airport. There is also a non-County
maintained road,which would be CR 16,that links CR 41 to the airport as well. Several years ago there was discussion
about improving CR 39 and Public Works, subsequent to those discussions,did do improvements. However, the traffic
count was so low(43 vehicles per day)that nothing more than reshaping and graveling the road was warranted. I have
inquired about the maintenance schedule and latest traffic count. It was last taken in 2010. Janet Lundquist has ordered
a count as soon as it can be scheduled. I have attached a letter to Mr. Billings that I will mail to him and will confer with
you after the next count can be done.This came to me immediately before Thanksgiving and I notified Rafaela that there
would be a delay in responding.

Mr. Billings,
Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Several years ago the road was in
very poor condition. It had no drainage and very little gravel. Public Works made
improvements to the road at that time. The last traffic count, which was taken in 2010,
registered only 43 vehicles per day. I realize that may have changed in the last four years
and because of that I have instructed my staff to count the road as soon as possible. There
are several factors which can trigger improvements to a road,the most common of which
is vehicles per day.
I notified my grader division staff of this issue and they looked at the road, assessed its
condition and spoke with the grader operator in that area. The road is 24 feet wide which
is our standard width and receives regular maintenance. Also, we realize during dry
conditions roads become rough sooner than they would normally and we respond to
rough road calls as quickly as we can.
Again, thank you for your letter.
Sincerely,
L Jay McDonald

RE: Degrading Road Conditions on WCR 16 &39 Vicinity of Platte Valley Airport
Dear County Commissioners,
First off we'd like to thank you for the outstanding job you perform for the citizens and taxpayers of
Weld County. This letter is our effort to make you aware of the concern for the county road conditions
adjacent to the Platte Valley Airport community located at 7507 WCR 39 between WCR's 16& 18. These
roads leading to the airport from WCR 41 have been dusty and primitive for many years. Construction truck
traffic has recently increased due to Anadarko drilling operations on a property bordered by WCR 16&39 and
the dirt roads now need constant attention. Their operations started at the end of September and we
understand they'll be in the same property for about 9 months in order to complete the drilling of 6 wells.
General aviation pilots and airport visitors travel to Platte Valley Airport from all parts of the city.
Additionally, there are 9 employees traveling to and from work at the Eagles Nest at Platte Valley Assisted
Living Center located at 6994 WCR 39 adjacent to WCR 16 &39. Family and friends of residents also travel on
these roads. The assisted living center has served many pioneers from within Weld County and could operate
at 100%capacity if the roads were more desirable by attracting more residents.

Our desire is not to interfere with the drilling operations, but to ask your assistance in allocation of
funds and to initiate planning to improve the roads to our properties.
We would greatly appreciate your support in this issue and know that you have busy agendas. When is
the best time to attend one of your commissioner meetings as a group? Please let me know if you can assist
us in this matter.

Rafaela,
I am going to have to research this a little further. This same issue on this same road came
up several years ago and I need to do a little digging.
