We are required to list the square footage of each occupancy, as well as any covered exterior space. This is why the square footage listed on the cover sheet indicates the following: -- 1st Floor- 10,850 SF --Shop- 2,550 SF --1st Floor unenclosed exterior areas- 1,800 SF --Mezzanine-490 SF The actual square footage of the interior of the building is 13,400 sf., with the addition of a mezzanine of 490 sf. The mezzanine does not count against square footage requirements per the building code, which is why it is listed separately and we list the total SF of this building to be 13,400 SF. Please call or email with questions, this is never a simple thing to review. And please let me know if we need to submit something more formal. Thanks!

I also understand they will be parking a large number of trucks on the site which will be driven on a daily basis. I have two concerns with this proposal: 1). Road damage at the corner of HWY 392&WCR 33. When the trucks and/or trailers rear wheels cut across the corner the corners develop large potholes,and the roadway materials starts to break apart. 2). The backup of traffic on WCR 33, south bound,at the corner of HWY 392 by the trucks will be significant at times. With the amount of traffic on HWY 392, it makes it difficult for large vehicles to turn onto it or even cross it. This backup in traffic could hold up the buses and disrupt the route schedules. Route schedules do not have extra time built into them. A hold up of 5-10 minutes in the morning could cause the bus to arrive at school late. If we build the 5-10 minutes into the route and the bus arrived early, the kids would have to sit on the bus,and that wouldn't be good either. Please take these concerns into consideration when looking at this proposal. If you have any questions, feel free to call me.

The New Cache La Poudre Irrigating Company canal is on the south side of the property owned by Plumb Ridge. In the application for Plumb Ridge(RECX 13-0066)the following response was sent to the Planning Dept.: "The canal for The New Cache La Poudre Irrigating Company (NCLPIC),commonly known as Greeley#2 Canal,passes along the south property line of Plumb Ridge. The canal right-of-way in this area would typically be a total of i 50 feet in width being 75 each side of the center of the canal. Request is made to have that width platted. Landowners shall not erect nor place any additional buildings,structures, improvements, fences and/or trees within,across,over and/or on the Canal Easement,and/or shall not store any machinery,hay, refuse,junk,debris, garbage or other items within, over,across and/or on the Canal Easement." This language(or similar)should be added to the plat for the parcel.The conveyance of the easement to the new parcel will limit future questions and issues. Circle B will also be aware of the easement and the limitations imposed by the easement. The drainage of the site and the subsequent detention/retention of the stormwater/spills is a second area that New Cache is concerned about. The property has been a farm and return flows from irrigation of the farm came into the canal.Now that the property is being developed,there is increased concern in the diminished quality of the water entering the canal. I have read the drainage report and the other supporting documents that outline the plan for controlling the water and removing contaminants from the water. I will rely on the departments within the county to verify that the water entering the canal will not be compromised. If further clarification of my comments is needed please contact me. Thank you.

SE % Sec. 15, T6N, R66W, 6th P.M. Water Division 1 , Water District 1 Dear Ms. Aungst: This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-101 (10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11 , 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The applicant is seeking a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review permit for an oil and gas support and service facility on a parcel of approximately 5.5 acres, known as Lot C, RECX13-0066. The facility will consist of a field operations office building and storage yard, including parking. The site will be used by approximately ten employees and visited by approximately twenty visitors each weekday. The proposed water supply for the facility is a tap off an existing North Weld County Water District line running along the east side of the site. A Letter of Intent to provide service dated May 17, 2013 was submitted in support of the application. The North Weld County Water District provided updated supply and demand information to this office via the Tri-Districts on December 18, 2012. The document shows that the District's firm yield supply of 6,392 acre-feet exceeds its dry year planning demand of 4,702 acre- feet. With the North Weld County Water District as the water supplier, this office has no objections to the subject proposal. Should you or the applicant have any questions, please contact Sarah Brucker of this office. Sincerely, Tracy L K loll, P.E.
