ss MEMORANDUM
u �� aA r r
coouuN"• TO: Board of County Commissioners
DATE: March 31, 2014
FROM: Michelle Martin/�
SUBJECT: Request for an extension of time for AmUSR-1259
AmUSR-1259 was approved by the Board of County Commissioners in May 2007 the conditions
of approval have been addressed and the plat was recorded on April 10, 2009.
In May of 2012 the applicant Martin Marietta Materials request additional time before they
started operations the BOCC granted them until April 9, 2014. The applicant Martin Marietta
Materials is once again requesting additional time before they commence operations. In their
letter dated March 14, 2014 the applicant states, "We are currently mining on the east side of
Hwy 85 (Lupton Lakes Pit/ Riverbend East)With the previous slowdown in the economy after
the property was permitted, Lafarge was not mining out material on the east side as quickly as
they had anticipated. Demand has picked back up. We are currently anticipating over 1 million
tons per year in sales from Lupton Lakes Pit/ Riverbend East pit. From a community relation
standpoint, having two crushing operations and increased truck traffic congestion on both sides
of Highway 85 and Cr 6 is not best practice. We would prefer to not start stripping Phase 1 of
River bend West USR-1259 on the west side until the east side properties are close to being
mined out but we will do so if necessary to secure both USR's."
The applicant is requesting an additional 5 years to commence operations or 10 years from the
original resolution.
Development Standard#47 on the plat states, "In accordance with Section 23-2-200.E of the
Weld County Code, if the Amending Use by Special Review has not commenced from the date
of the approval or is discontinued for a period of three (3) consecutive years, it shall be
presumed inactive. The County shall initiate an administrative hearing to consider whether or
grant an extension of time to commence the use or revoke the Amendment Use by Special
Review. If the Amended Use by Special Review is revoked, it shall be necessary to follow the
procedures and requirements of chapter 23, Division 4, of the Weld County Code in order to
reestablish any Use by Special Review."
The Weld County Department of Planning Services is in support of this request with the
understanding that operation will commence on or before April 10, 2019.

RE: Commencement of AMUSR#1259, Riverbend West Pit
Dear Ms. Martin:
Lafarge previously owned/leased the properties associated with the USR referenced above. Per Item 47 in
the Development Standards for AMUSR#1259, Lafarge mining years was to commence within 3 of the
approval and recording of the plat. The plat was recorded 4/10/2009 so mining needed to commence on or
before 4/9/2012.
Martin Marietta assumed responsibility for this property on December 9, 2011. We requested an extension
to the commencement date and the county commissioners approved extending the date through 4/9/14.
We are currently mining on the east side of Hwy 85 (Lupton Lakes Pit/Riverbend East Pit on the enclosed
aerial). With the previous slowdown in the economy after this property was permitted, Lafarge was not
mining out material on the east side as quickly as they had anticipated. Demand has picked back up. We
are currently anticipating over 1 million tons per year in sales from Lupton Lakes Pit/Riverbend East Pit.
From a community relation standpoint, having two crushing operations and increased truck traffic
congestion on both sides of Highway 85 and CR6 is not best practice. We would prefer to not start stripping
Phase 1 of Riverbend West USR#1259 on the west side (Riverbend West USR#1259) until the east side
properties are close to being mined out but we will do so if necessary to secure both USRs.
Please accept this letter as our request for an additional 5 years to commence operations or 10 years from
the original resolution. Give me a call if you have any additional questions(970-227-4041)and we look
forward to hearing from you on when this can be heard by the County Commissioners.
Sincerely,
Julie Mikulas
Land Manager
