SPECIAL REVIEW PERMIT
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
Hearing Date: June 4, 2013
Applicant: Jennifer Jaquish
Site Address: 9350 County Road 13, Longmont, CO 80504
Request: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Child Care Center in
the A (Agricultural) Zone District
Legal
Description: Lot A of RE -3463 being part of SW4 of Section 18, T2N, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO
Location: East of and adjacent to County Road 13 and North of County Road 20
Size of Parcel: 2.52 Acres +/- Parcel No. 1311-18-300067
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE
APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 23-2-260 of the
Weld County Code.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown compliance
with Section 23-2-220 of the Weld County Code as follows:
A. Section 23-2-220.A.1 -- The proposed use is consistent with Chapter 22 and any other applicable
code provisions or ordinance in effect.
Section 22-2-150D.A Goal 4 states: "Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban residential,
commercial and industrial uses will be accommodated when the subject site is in an area that can
support such development. Such development shall attempt to be compatible with the region."
Development Standards and Conditions of Approval will ensure that the proposed use will be
compatible with the area. The surrounding property is primarily agricultural in nature. Section 23-
2-240.A.10 of the Weld County Codes states "...that buffering or screening of the proposed use
from adjacent properties may be required in order to make the determination that the proposed
use is compatible with the surrounding uses." The majority of the proposed Child Care Center is
located within the basement of the applicant's home therefore minimizing the impacts to
surrounding property owners. The Development Standards and Conditions of approval will also
ensure the proposed use will be compatible with the area.
B. Section 23-2-220.A.2 -- The proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural (A) Zone
District. Section 23-3-40.T of the Weld County Code allows for, A Site Specific Development Plan
and Use by Special Review Permit for a Child Care Center in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Jennifer Jaquish
USR13-0011, page 2
C. Section 23-2-220.A.3 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses.
The facility is located in a primarily residential area on a parcel containing several
improvements including a house and detached garage. Adjacent properties to the north and
south are mainly utilized for residential purposes. The eastern property has a Use by Special
Review (USR-1174) for 125 dogs and 35 cats. The property to the west is within the
municipal limits of the Town of Firestone and is a residential subdivision (Noname Creek
Estates). The Weld County Department of Planning Services has not received any opposition
from the surrounding property owners. Development Standards and Conditions of Approval
will ensure that this use will be compatible with surrounding land uses.
D. Section 23-2-220.A.4 -- The uses which will be permitted will be compatible with future
development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and with the future
development as projected by Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code and any other applicable
code provisions or ordinances in effect, or the adopted Master Plans of affected
municipalities.
The site is located within the 3 -mile referral for the Towns of Frederick and Firestone. The
Town of Frederick indicated in their referral dated 4/4/13 "not in town planning area, no
comment." The Town of Firestone in their May 8 email indicated they did not support the
increased traffic over the Firestone Regional Trail due to safety concerns. A follow email was
sent by the Town of Firestone dated May 9 indicating town staff thinks it would be in the best
interest of all concerned if the applicant has the opportunity to request an amend to the
current easement to the Firestone Town Board directly. Town staff is happy to work thought
that process with the applicant. The conditions of approval address the sentiments of the
Town of Firestone's referral.
E. Section 23-2-220.A.5 -- The application complies with Article V of the Weld County Code.
The existing site is within the County Road Impact Fee Area and the Capital Expansion
Impact Fee and Drainage Impact Fee areas.
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots will be required to adhere to the fee structure of
the Weld County Road Impact Program. (Ordinance 2011-2)
Building Permits issued on the proposed lots, will be required to adhere to the fee structure of
the County Facility Fee and Drainage Impact Fee. (Ordinance 2011-2)
F. Section 23-2-220.A.6 -- The applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort to conserve prime
agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use.
The proposed facility is located on soils designated as "Irrigated Land (not prime)" per the
1979 Soil Conservation Service Important Farmlands of Weld County Map. This total size of
the parcel +/- 2.52 acres but the applicant is using the existing improvements for the child
care center therefore not utilizing any additional farmland.
G. Section 23-2-220.A.7 -- There is adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and
welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.
The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240, Weld County Code), Operation Standards (Section
23-2-250, Weld County Code), Conditions of Approval and Development Standards can
ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of
the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County.

32. WELD COUNTY'S RIGHT TO FARM: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural
counties in the United States, typically ranking in the top ten counties in the country in total
market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and
spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must
recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with long-standing agricultural
practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the
incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural areas: open views, spaciousness,
wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without
neighboring farms, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly
be gone forever.
Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long-established agricultural
practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well -run agricultural
activities will generate off -site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow -moving
farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest and gravel roads; odor
from animal confinement, silage and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes;
hunting and trapping activities; shooting sports, legal hazing of nuisance wildlife; and the use of
pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. It is common practice
for agricultural producers to utilize an accumulation of agricultural machinery and supplies to
assist in their agricultural operations. A concentration of miscellaneous agricultural materials
often produces a visual disparity between rural and urban areas of the County. Section 35-3.5-
102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private
nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that
are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production.
Water has been, and continues to be, the lifeline for the agricultural community. It is unrealistic to
assume that ditches and reservoirs may simply be moved "out of the way" of residential
development. When moving to the County, property owners and residents must realize they
cannot take water from irrigation ditches, lakes, or other structures, unless they have an
adjudicated right to the water.
Jennifer Jaquish
USR13-0011, page. 8
Weld County covers a land area of approximately four thousand (4,000) square miles in size
(twice the size of the State of Delaware) with more than three thousand seven hundred (3,700)
miles of state and County roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be
served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints
more than on patrols of the County, and the distances which must be traveled may delay all
emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually
provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies.
County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of
surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions
to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Services in rural areas,
in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be
more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
People are exposed to different hazards in the County than in an urban or suburban setting.
Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps
and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs
and livestock, and open burning present real threats. Controlling children's activities is important,
not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood.

Mickey,
Based on the engineer's evaluation, the existing septic system SP -0300245 is adequate for the proposed child care
facility along with 3 residents living in the home. To complete the septic system evaluation, the septic tank needs to be
pumped and inspected. See the attached Policy by Environmental Health Services. The applicant will need to submit to
Environmental Health Services a pump receipt from a licensed septic cleaner and a septic tank inspection report.
Thank you,

Mary —
This email is in response to your initial completeness review of the Tiny Tykes Child Care Services Center application,
USR13-0011. Health Department Comment No. 1 indicates that Environmental Health Services will require an
Engineering evaluation of the existing septic system to determine if it is adequate for the proposed additional hydraulic
load of the proposed daycare business. The engineering evaluation has been completed and a copy of the engineer's
sealed evaluation letter is attached for your review. Based on the attached evaluation, the existing system should have
the capacity to handle the additional hydraulic load and not be adversely affected by the proposed daycare use. Please
let me know if you have any questions or require additional information. Have a great day.

Rebecca —
I met with my Client regarding options for addressing the Town's concerns with respect to the access agreement from
Colorado Blvd (County Road 13). As I previously mentioned, our USR application is scheduled to go in front of the Weld
County Planning Commission on June 4I and we would like to request that we be scheduled for a Town Board Hearing
as soon as possible. Base on my discussion with Bruce Nickerson, it was my understanding that the existing access
easement would remain unchanged and we would propose a new easement agreement which would run with the
proposed USR13-0011 (Tiny Tykes Daycare Facility).
My Clients are proposing an access easement agreement for a commercial child daycare facility for up to a maximum of
12 children. The existing access location and width would remain unchanged and the following improvements and
maintenance commitment would include:
1. One "Stop" Sign placed at the intersection of the access drive and Colorado Blvd.
2. Two "Yield to Pedestrian" Signs placed on both the east and west sides of the Firestone Trail.
3. The 20 -foot wide access drive (approximately 55 LF) from the Town's concrete trail east to the Daycare site will he
improved with recycled asphalt or road base.
4. Tiny Tykes Daycare will commitment to snow removal each side of the Town's concrete trail (driveway to be plowed
each morning after heavy snowfall)
Attached for your reference is a copy of the proposed USR13-0011 Plat. Please let me know if you need any additional
information in order to schedule our request for a Town Board hearing as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and
assistance.

Thank you for the follow up email. I will be meeting with my Client tomorrow to discuss options for addressing the
Town's concerns with respect to the access easement. Once I email you our proposed revisions to the existing access
easement will you be able to schedule us for a Town Board Hearing so we may request an amendment to the current
easement agreement? Thank you for your assistance.

HI Mickey,
In follow up to your conversation with Bruce, this is to confirm that you are going to provide us with a redline of the existing Access
Easement or provide specific bullet business points that specifically address mitigating concerns (mud, ice, signage, etc.). Please let us
know if we misunderstood any of this information.

Michelle,
Please listen to the voicemail I left you today and call me when you get a chance regarding the day care center along Colorado
Boulevard in Firestone. For your information we had a constructive conversation with the applicant's engineer today regarding potential
ways to mitigate the primary concerns of Firestone Town staff regarding mud and ice on the trail, necessary signage for safety issues,
etc. Please update our previous comments with this information. At this point, Town staff thinks it would be in the best interest of all
concerned if the applicant has the opportunity to request an amendment to the current easement to the Firestone Town Board directly.
Town staff is happy to work through that process with the applicant.
