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 67 & CR 4 are local gravel roads and require a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. There is presently
a 60-foot right-of-way. These roads are 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 stated that there may be up to 6-10 truckloads per day during the harvest period.
The proposed truck turning radiuses at the access are acceptable. Please show and label the approved
access with the Access Permit Number (will be provided).
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking of mud and debris from the site onto the County Roadway.
Standard tracking control for accesses onto gravel roads includes double cattle guards at the access
point.
A water quality depression design has been submitted and is acceptable to Public Works.
This area IS NOT in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Show and label the approved access with the Access Permit Number (will be provided).
2. Tracking control is required to prevent tracking of mud and debris from the site onto the County
Roadway. Standard tracking control for accesses onto gravel roads includes double cattle guards
at the access point.
3. Add the following notes to the plat:
a. Pursuant to Chapter 15, Articles I and II of the Weld County Code, if noxious weeds exist
on the property or become established as a result of the proposed development, the
applicant/landowner shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds. All
vegetation, other than grasses, needs to be maintained at a maximum height of 12
inches until the area is completely developed.
b. There shall be no parking or staging of vehicles on County roads.
c. The historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained on site in such a
manner that it will reasonably preserve the natural character of the area and prevent
property damage of the type generally attributed to run-off rate and velocity increases,
diversions, concentration and/or unplanned ponding of storm run-off.
