SUBJECT: USR13-0027, Louise Goldsby
A Use by Special Review permit for storage of construction equipment.
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls under the Use
by Special Review Standard, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4, Section 23. Staff
comments made during this phase of the Use by Special Review process may not be all-inclusive, as
other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
CR 22 is an arterial road, which requires a 140 -foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently a 60 -
foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the
Weld County Zoning (23-1-90), the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. The
applicant shall delineate an additional 40 -foot of right-of-way parallel to the WCR 22 right-of-way for full
build -out.
An access permit has been submitted, however an old format appears to have been used. Please fill out
the most up to date access permit application which can be found on the Public Works website:
http://www.co.weld.co.us/assets/A9b3310bAAaBdB9D1d95.pdf . Fee and photos are not required as the
access is existing. Contact Traffic Engineer, Janet Carter at 970-304-6496x3726 with questions.
The traffic information provided with the submittal states that there will be two employees arriving at the
site to pick up vehicles at the beginning of the day and then dropping off the vehicles at the end of the
day.
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto the County Roadway. The application
indicates that the onsite recycled asphalt and road base will be utilized to create an all weather surface.
The application indicated a water quality feature has been installed at the low end of the drive/parking
area. The 12'x60'x2' feature is an acceptable design.
This area IS NOT in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Prior to recording the plat:
A. Plat shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 22 is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as an
arterial roadway, which requires 140 feet of right-of-way at full build out. The
applicant shall verify the existing 60 feet of right-of-way and the documents creating
the right-of-way and this information shall be noted on the plat. All setbacks shall be
measured from the edge of future right-of-way. If the existing right-of-way cannot be
verified, it shall be dedicated. This road is maintained by Weld County.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tiffane Johnson, Planning Services
FROM: Lauren Light, Environmental Health
SUBJECT: USR13-0027 Goldsby
DATE: 9/3/2013
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review permit for a use permitted as a use by
right, an accessory use, or a use by special review in the commercial or industrial zone
districts, (utility installation/ excavation services and storage of related construction
materials) in the A (Agricultural) zone district.
There is an existing individual well which is permitted for "ordinary household purposes
inside 2 single family dwellings, the watering of domestic animals and the irrigation of
not more than 33,400 square feet of home gardens and lawns".
The application indicates that the septic system in the home will be utilized. However,
as the well permit allows for domestic use only, which would require repermitting the
well to utilize the existing restroom in the house, the applicant sent an email dated April
18, 2013 stating that a portable toilet will be provided. The application indicates there
will be 4 employees, two drivers and two part time employees.
The following section is from Environmental Health Services, Weld County Department
of Public Health & Environment, Septic Policies.
2.2.K Use of portable toilets and bottled water (revised 5/8/12)
Purpose: To define when portable toilets and commercially bottled water are
allowed.
Policy: Bottled water and portable toilets from a commercial source is allowed
in the following circumstances:
1. Temporary or seasonal uses that are utilized 6 months or less per year
(for example recreational facilities, firework stands, farmers markets )
2. Gravel mines
3. 10 or less customers or visitors per day
and/or one of the following:
4. 2 or less full time (40 hour week) employees located on site
5. 4 or less part time (20 hour week) employees located on site
6. employees or contractors that are on site for less than 2 consecutive
hours a day
Note: Records of maintenance and proper disposal for portable toilets shall be retained
on a quarterly basis and available for review by the Weld County Department of Public
Health and Environment. Portable toilets shall be serviced by a cleaner licensed in
Weld County and shall contain hand sanitizers.
The waste handling plan indicates there is a trash can for drivers to use and the waste
is disposed of at construction sites. As there is trash disposal associated with the
existing residence we would request a revised plan that stipulates business waste will
be disposed of via a disposal company that comes to the applicant's location. Minor
vehicle maintenance will be done onsite such as tire changes and adding oil. The
applicants indicate that tires will be taken to the job site for disposal which is not
acceptable. The waste plan shall indicate the company that will be utilized for disposal
of tires. No oil changes or washing of vehicles will occur on the property. Fuel and
chemicals will not be stored on the property.
The dust abatement plan states the parking area will be constructed of road base and
recycled asphalt.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
conditions be part of any approval:
We recommend that the following requirement be met prior to allowing the plat to be
recorded:
1. The applicant shall submit a waste handling plan, for approval, to the
Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public
Health & Environment. The plan shall include at a minimum, the following:
1) A list of wastes which are expected to be generated on site (this should
include expected volumes and types of waste generated).
2) A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site.
3) The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including
the facility name, address, and phone number).
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as
development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as amended) shall be stored and removed for
2
final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater
contamination.
2. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is not
meant to include those wastes specifically excluded from the definition of a solid
waste in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.,
as amended.
3. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that controls
fugitive dust, fugitive particulate emissions, blowing debris, and other potential
nuisance conditions. The applicant shall operate in accordance with the

To: Tiffane Johnson, Planner May 3, 2013
From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR13-0027 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV12-00221) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the repeated operation of a commercial trucking business without first
completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has been presented to the Weld
County Court Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process and is currently under a court ordered
Stipulated Agreement; therefore, an investigation fee is required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff initiated complaints.
This application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners will correct the violation. If this
application is denied, all but 1 (one) Commercial Vehicle shall be removed from the property within 30
(thirty) days of denial or the violation will proceed in court accordingly.
Additional History:
This property was also in violation in 2008 (ZCV08-00409) also for the operation of a commercial business
and storage of commercial vehicles and/or equipment without first obtaining a Use by Special Review
(USR) permit. The property owner removed the commercial storage and the violation closed.
