I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The parcel is located in District F, River/Flood Plain, severe
environmental constraints. The proposed use will not have any
permanent structures or residences on the property thus no hazard to
the health, safety and welfare of the County residents.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site is a relatively flat alluvial
floodplain that has been disturbed by gravel mining operations.
B. Protect Description: The application is for a mobile asphalt
batch plant to be located within the gravel pit for a period
starting June 1 and ending August 1. The asphalt will be used
for the Mamm Creek Interchange project. The batch plant has an
initial emission control permit from the Colorado Department of
health (No. 83 WE 334P). The proposed plant is a "state of the
art" plant with a wet scrubber. There will be wet wash ponds
required to operate the plant. All contaminants from the ponds
will be removed and trucked to an appropriate disposal site. The
site will be rehabilitated after completion of the project.
Asphalt will be trucked from the site via U.S. 6 & 24 to 1-70 and
then to the site. There will be 10 round trips per day, 5 days a
week, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
III.MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. Zoning: An asphalt batch plant is special use in the
Agricultural/Industrial (A/I) zone district.

relocation permit should be submitted to the County.
C. Staff Comments:
1. The applicant has verbally stated that the plant will
operate from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., five days a week, Monday
through Friday. This should be a condition of approval.

round trip, truck trips per day. Again, this should be a
condition of approval.

special use is in the best interest of the health, safety,
