II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL A. Site Description: The site, known as "The Blue Gravel Pit", has been operating under a Special Use Permit (81-384) since 1981. The pit is located in the southeaster portion of a working ranch operation. A vicinity map is attached on page • • B. Requested Amendment: Resolution 81-384 (attached on pages 7 1 ) included condition (#6), which restricted access to the pit via County Road 103 and 104. The applicants are requesting the addition of a permanent access directly to State Highway 82, in addition to the existing access onto County Roads 103 and 104. The new access road presently serves the ranch, but it will be improved to a two lane road with hard surfaced eleven (11) foot wide tra el lanes.. The State has approved an access permit for the road (see pgsq ' 11). Subsequent to the development of the plans, the applicants modified the Highway Access permit to include accel and decel lanes for both east and west bound traffic. ( See permit pgs.lion A schematic showing the location and • • profile of the access road and the proposed improvements to Highway 82 was also included in the application. In 1993, by Resolution No. 93-051 the County approved the temporary use of this access by the applicant to fulfill a contract with the Department of Transportation. Access to the SH 82 site using the proposed route was from June 1st, 1993 to November 1, 1993. A subsequent application to make the access permanent was withdrawn after the Planning Commission recommended denial due to a lack of specificity regarding the intersection with Highway 82 and the proposed access road improvements. 111_ MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS 1. Impact Statement: Section 5.03.07 requires the submittal of an impact statement for all industrial uses within the County that require a Conditional or Special Use Permit. Section 5.03.07 requires the following: 1. The impact statement must show that the use shall be designed and operated in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations of the County, State and Federal governments, and will not have an adverse effect on: A.) Existing lawful use of water through depletion or pollution of surface runoff, stream flow or ground water; B.) Use of adjacent land through generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or vibration, or other emanations; C.) Wildlife and domestic animals through creation of hazardous attractions, alteration of existing vegetation, blockade of migration routes, use patterns or other disruptions; 2. Truck and automobile traffic to and from such uses shall not create hazards or nuisances to areas elsewhere m the County; 3. Sufficient distances shall separate such use from abutting property which might otherwise be damaged by operations of the proposed uses; A copy of the impact study submitted with the application is attached on pages 2. Impacts on Adjacent Land: The impacts to adjacent lands by the amendment to the haul route are two -fold: the impact of removing traffic from the current CR 103/104 route; and the impact associated with the new haul route. Staff has noted during previous hearings on this project, that the current route creates an incompatible traffic mix between industrial, residential and school bus traffic on County Roads 103 and 104. Additionally, the physical composition of the road is not set up to handle the amount of heavy truck traffic, whi..bp:As resulted in the need for some fairly significant road construction needs. The limited right- of-way width on the 103/104 route has been a problem for the County since the original permit was approved. The direct route proposed in 1 nendment will reduce the amount of truck traffic on the existing County roads, resulting in a significant reduction in the truck and automobile conflicts and road damage. Residents from the Ranch at Roaring Fork are the most directly impacted adjacent property owners due to the potential for additional noise and potential conflicts with merging traffic. The applicants have proposed to mitigate the some of the noise impacts by widening and paving the road. Also included in the application is an analysis of the existing sound levels and an experts opinion that the noise impacts will be very minimal (See report in application) Additionally, the sound consultant has noted the nonuse of jake breaks coming into the Highway 82 access point and down the hill, except in an emergency, will eliminate the major source of noise. The use of this access for a temporary access by the applicant provided an opportunity to assess the long-term impacts of this access alternative. There were no complaints received by the County as a result of this use, which was very heavy. The homeowners have testified that they did not complain, beca use they understood that the access was needed for a one time project. An additional issue that came from the previous meeting on this issue is the arrival of trucks before the pit opens. The idling of diesel trucks can result in some unacceptable smell going off of the property. No trucks should be allowed to arrive any earlier than the opening of the pit and sit idling on the deceleration lane on the highway or the access road from the highway. 3. Traffic Impacts: At the Planning Commission meeting in February of 1995, the lack of detail regarding the Highway 82 intersection improvements for accel and decel lanes for the west bound lanes, that are not in place at this time. Included in the application are engineered improvements for the accel and decel lanes approved by the State Department of Transportation. The last application did not have any specifics on the Highway 82 improvements, which resulted in a number of questions that the Planning Commission felt were not answered in sufficient detail. The applicant has provided revised plans to staff for the additional accel lane for the eastbound traffic, which will be presented at the meeting. The removal of the majority of the truck traffic from CR 103 and 104, will also help to reduce the conflicts at the Highway 82 and CR 103 intersection due to combined acceleration and decel lane adjacent to Roaring Fork Sand and Gravel pit. The new construction will create accel and decel lanes in the directions not presently available, reducing the potential conflicts created by slowly accelerating or decelerating trucks. At a previous meeting on this issue, there was concern that the improved road would result in a number of people using the new access as a "shortcut". Staff suggests that access to the 103/104 access be gated during nonworking hours (7 a.m. to 5 p.m., daily). It is further suggested that the hauling hours be limited to 7 a.rn. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Saturday, with no hauling allowed on Sunday. 4. Road and Bridge Department Comments: The County Road and Bridge Supervisor submitted a letter supporting the proposed new access to Highway 82, based on the potential for reducing the amount of heavy truck traffic on the • • 103/104 route and the need for a more immediate rebuilding of the roadways. (See letter pgs. 13 IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. That the hearing before the Planning Commission was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at the hearing. 2. That the application is in compliance with the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended. 3. For the above stated and other reasons, the proposed use is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County. V. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends APPROVAL of the amendment based on the following condition: That all verbal and written representations made by the applicants in the application and at the public hearing shall be considered conditions of approval unless specified otherwise by the Board of County Commissioners. Jake brakes will not be used, except in an emergency. aulin hours for the Highway 82 access will be limited toa.m. to 5 p. lbfa y , and the access to County Road 104 will be gated before and a ter those hours. Additionally, no trucks will be allowed to stand idle on the highway or access road prior to the opening of the gate to the pit. NOTE: The applicant had requested that the hours be changed to 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., due to potential conflicts with clients showing up before the gates are opened. Staff notes that regardless of the hours agreed established, that any condition of approval needs to state that no trucks will be allowed to sit and idle outside the gate to the pit prior to the opening of the gate. This should also apply to any vechicles sitting on the proposed deceleration lane. The applicant needs to come up with a solution to this problem, because it is a direct impact on the Ranch at Roaring Fork in terms of smell from the diesel trucks. All other conditions of approval contained in Resolution 81-384 must be complied with by the applicant. Violation of these conditions could result in revocation of the existing SUP. At the last Planning Commission meeting, the Commission had added the following conditions: That the application be subject to an annual review, with public notice as required by the regulations in place at the time of the review, to determine compliance with the conditions of approval. cLiet C'e 42-64 ,t) cA-6 - ems— — ✓�c U���'US �I�c—z—� /2 d r • STAFF COMMENT: Prior to the amendment of the Zoning Resolution in 1993, the regulations had provisions for an annual review. The present regulations have provisions contained in Section 9.03.05, that state that any "Special Use Permits may be made subject to a periodic review not less than every six (6) months if required by the County Conunissioners." The purpose of the review can only be for determining the compliance or noncompliance of the permittee, with conditions of approval. The Board may determine that the applicant is in compliance with any conditions of approval, or determine that the operations are not in compliance and either suspend the permit or require the permittee to bring the operation into compliance. Additionally, the Board must establish what type of notice will be required. — - /11 it?) --Ye Z/0–, J • • L--ctlf �) • • II II II II irytx d° 0 :• S: • -fir— =f=,• 4 1. ilST if li�tT �•i (• ti hill tth. 4"11 O ' 1/ 3 = I f. 0 11 x • It1 1( • 4 W ('< I oZZ9 J k o • .i- ,, r ATE OF COLORADO County of Garrterd ilia ) Fr.gm.1a1.), inn:Ong of the Board of County Commissioners for Garfield County, Colorado, held at the Court Flouse In Glenwood Springs on rinxl.ci.a,Y , tlre..2.1.s t. day of i)t'c, C1llt)t::.1 A.

During the sun -tiller months sound does travel further. This was our time of testing, Iii -way 82 traffic with Tractor trailer trucks whizzing by at 60 mph did generate more incident noise than that of a Wick taking ofd' from the stun. Considc ing the Previous exposure of the tvsidettcc, the time of day 82, the repetition (uot constant ), and the type you propose to access 11i -way that you will not vialatc the state noise abatement noise (wide band width }, all leads us to believe For final proof we could measure the area again over a period of time while your trucks are accessing the Hi --way on a cx:tnsistent basis. Compare the results of the measurements of traffic noise levels we have previously rtecordcrl and submit the fundings, I1 would be an expense that 1 would not suggest. I do nc?t like to generalize.. Plisse read the initial sound survey over again. That is more detailed and our findings were just that, findings. Sincerely. Edward Ware A. A.

The use of a 13 & K 2230 Precision Integrating Sound Level Meter using IEC 651 Standard. Factory calibrated for noise measurement.

Definition of Terms: Sound Pressure Level -I,p ( in decibels of sound) = 20 tinges the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the particle velocity of the sound to the reference pressure. Unless otherwise specified, the reference pressure is understood to be .0002 Nhn 2 ( 200a). Please see enclosed charts for reference of everyday incidence = db sound. Leq = is the sound pressure level averaged over the measurement period. It can be considered as the continuous steady sound pressure level which would have the same acoustic energy as the real fluctuating noise over the same period. The measurement of Leq is based on the equal energy principle. Lea,t ( SEL ) = Sound exposure level is the constant level which if maintained for n period of one (1) second would have the same acoustic energy as the A -weighted measured noise event. • • page 2 Measurement of Sound Pressure Level ( SPL ) Determination of Leq for assessment of noise annoyance Measurement of cyclical noise and Max. and Min. noise levels Classifying Sound Fields. A sound field is said to be a free field if it is uniform, free of boundaries, and undisturbed by other sources of sound. In practice, it is a field in which the effects of the boundaries are negligible over the region of interest. The flow of sound is in one direction only. Anechoic chambers and well above the ground outdoors are free fields. Outdoor Acoustics. Is best explained by an Example. If, for example, the ambient noise level measured 70 dba ( a not unreasonable readings outdoors ) and the maximum Lp ( sound pressure level ) you could generate at 4 ft. was 110 Lp, how far could you reach before your signal was submerged in noise. 110Lp-701..p=40db 20 log x / 4 = 40 db x = 4 x 10 40/20 squared x = 400 ft. A simple vile of thumb dictates that when a change in -1- 10 d1 occurs, the higher level will be subjectively judged as approximately twice as loud. While computing loudness is more complex than this the rule is useful in midrange sounds. The sound at 100 ft. is half as loud as that at 30 ft., although the amplitude of the vibration of the air particles is roughly one-third. Similar, the sound at 30 ft. is half as loud as the sound at 10 ft. Considerations: I mention this to confirm that test site I was 90 ft from the highway shoulder, Site 2 was 150 ft from the.highway shoulder, and site 3 was 165 ft. from the highway shoulder. The majority of the housing under consideration is much further away than our test area's. lease see rough drawing on page 1.

We have found that the ear , after time, will tune out even noticeable sounds. I don't expect a metered level rise of sound ( dba) when you start access to the upcoming Hwy 82. The listening of the truck taking off and going through the gears will at first be noticeable because they will be listening for it. The Doppler Effect of frequency changing as they drive away is a common occurrence. And will be more noticeable than the rise in outdoor noise levels. I suggest the trucks do not use a Jake Brake going down the access road. If not , a possible burm too reflect the sound could be in order. If we can be of further assistance in clarifying any aspect of this report please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Edward Ware A. A. Audio Engineering METERS FEET J % � yet.

This would be an opportunity for the County to delay a future financial liability, Most certainly the day is coming for Co Rd 103 and Co Rd 104 Lo be rebuilt, but the relief from the wheel -loads it is presently experiencing would postpone that expenditure. Even though the County has maintenance agreements on Co Rd 103, and Co Rd 104` I dun i believe they address the financial responsibility for a rebuild. To complicate it aliUhtly, the agreements are with two separate entities, one not dependent upon the other, i.e., the concrete operation could shut down leaving the County solely responsible. for Co Rd 105, which is the primary road. The Asphalt institute calculates the strength to thickness ratio of a road based on the number of Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESAL), that the road might be expected Lo support. A factor of 2,800 passenger vehicle counts equals one ESAL. State Highway 82 is rated at 85,000 lbs. for 5 -axles` and 54'000 lbs. for 8 -axles. It is hard to say, using tube oouotors, how many loads are 5 -axles or 3 -axles' but the effect is still pretty dramatic, whereas 85,000 lbs. is 6.6 ESALS, or 18,480 passenger vehicles, and 54,000 lbs. is 5.2 ESALS, or 14,560 passenger vehicles. Using the attached graph, you can oa|cu|aLe LhaL 233 vehicles utilizing Co Rd 104' we/e primarily trucks that would of equalled 1.211.6 ESALS wiLh the net effect of 3,392,48O passenger vehicles. • • Maintenance will not prolong the life of Giese roads indefinitely. Eventually they will have to be rebuilt to sustain this kind of use. Obviously State Highway A2 was constructed to support this traffic which was never the purpose of Co Rd 103 and Co Rd 104. From the viewpoint of Finances for the Road & Bridge Department, I feel this is a logical change. Should you have any questions, Ole se. call.
