• Consider requiring operator to not allow any"retail" sand and gravel hauling (that is, any <br /> small vehicles—less than 5-ton-capacity dump truck) directly from the site, coupled with <br /> requiring that contractors be encouraged to use the operator's trucks for hauling, or accept <br /> scheduling (appointments) through the operator's dispatcher to avoid heavier traffic due to <br /> unplanned trips. The operator and competitors already are considering locations in various <br /> areas of Pagosa Springs to offer a retail "Hardscape" style operation providing small <br /> quantities (generally two tons or less) of various products for small projects and do-it- <br /> yourself builders, to promote safety and reduce conflict at the actual production operations. <br /> • At the end of the initial permit period, based on existing traffic and any request by operator <br /> to increase gravel production from the site, require additional improvements as warranted. <br /> 14. Summary and Conclusions <br /> a. Maximum movements: <br /> Figure WA-6.For the first year of operation of this access,the maximum movements would be: <br /> 6 days of vear 1 24-hour count AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour <br /> Right turn in 54 18 14 <br /> Right turn out 6 <1 2 <br /> Left turn in 6 <2 <1 <br /> Left turn out 54 14 18 <br /> b. This situation would exist for six-eight days during the fifty-two-week year, based on worst <br /> case assumptions (including deployment and redeployment of portable equipment). Note that <br /> the single PM Peak Hour at 18 out) is based on standard assumptions which are not necessarily <br /> applicable to this location, and that special conditions (metering) can be imposed to reduce this <br /> peak for the very limited time expected. For the remaining 50 weeks, the peak would be less <br /> than 7. <br /> c. These volumes do not warrant any improvements to the access itself(FSR-650) at CR-600. <br /> d. Proposed access qualifies under the State Highway Access Code as the only reasonable <br /> access for existing and proposed traffic on a 299-acre property without other acceptable access. <br /> e. Relatively high traffic on CR-600, as well as signalization and full buildout of auxiliary lanes <br /> on SH-160, low volume of truck traffic generated by this operation compared with high volumes <br /> of all traffic and truck traffic on SH-160 do need addressing to improve safety and determine a <br /> need for improvements not specifically warranted, due to extraordinary circumstances. <br /> C&J Gravel Products, Inc.
