the right-of--way of 120`" Avenue adjacent to the site. No other incorporated municipality is located within two miles of the land proposed for addition to the permitted area of M-2001-085. City of Bri~hton 22 South 4` Avenue Brighton, Colorado 80601 City of Commerce City 5291 East 60`h Avenue Commerce City, Colorado 80022 Exhibit S -Permanent Man-Made Structures. The application to amend M-2001-085 seeks to accomplish three items. 1. The amendment, if approved, will incorporate the 2.2 acres covered by 110 Limited Impact Permit M-2002-013 into M-2001-085. These 2.2 acres are used for an access driveway to the 124`" Estates Sand and Gravel Mine. 2. The amendment, if approved, will add approximately 0.4 acres to M-2001-085 for a new crossing of the Fulton Ditch, as shown by Exhibit C-2. This new crossing of the Fulton Ditch was required by the Adams County Commissioners, so that truck traffic to the mining area on the west side of the Fulton Ditch will continue to access 120' Avenue at the same location, thereby maintaining traffic patterns on 120`" Avenue throughout the life of the mine. Use of this crossing of the Fulton Ditch will alter traffic patterns on the internal 2.2-acre access driveway as shown by Exhibit C-1. 3. The amendment, if approved, will add approximately 5 acres of the 21-acre lake, owned by the Henderson Water Ski Club, LLC, to M-2001-085. The Applicant intends to remove approximately 5 feet of sand from the 5-acre area by a barge mounted suction pump, which will pump the sand directly onto the already permitted area of the 124`" Estates Sand and Gravel Mine. Attached is a letter from Ground Engineering Consultants of October 29, 2003, which states that neither dredging of the water ski lake, nor the proposed Ditch crossing, nor the continued use of the internal access driveway has the potential to damage permanent man-made structures within 200 feet. The Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company has approved, in concept, the proposed new crossing of the Ditch (see attached letter of May 13, 2003). The Ditch Company is requiring execution of a formal Ditch Crossing Agreement, as well as opportunity to review and approve engineering plans for the bridge. Attached is a letter from Tetra Tech RMC, the Ditch Company's consultant, which recommends approval of a temporary Ditch Crossing that includes provision for the 124'h Estates Partners to be responsible for damage to the Ditch and surrounding easement area. The agreement between the Applicant and the Henderson Water Ski Club, LLC, which is referenced above, contains a provision that requires the Applicant to compensate the Ski Club for damage to structures on its property.
