A Use by Special Review permit for a water hauling facility.
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 maynot be all-inclusive, as
other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
CR 70 is a local gravel road and requires a 60 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 has obtained an Access Permit for two accesses to the property. Please show the
approved accesses on the Plat and label them with the approved Access Permit number (AP12-00085).
Access improvements are required and shall include 60' radiuses to accommodate turning trucks and
tracking control to prevent the tracking of mud onto the gravel roadwayThe standard tracking controlfor
accesses onto gravel roads includes double cattle guards at the access pointAfter speaking with Jeff
Wright of A&W Water, the applicant would like to provide and construct a proposed gravel cross section
for the interior roadway. This gravel cross section will be part of the Improvements Agreement and a
clause stating that additional tracking control (possible installation of cattle guards) will be provided if the
County determines that tracking is occurring. A required upgrade of the tracking control to either 300 feet
of pavement onsite or 100 feet tNcment plus double cattle guards will also be included in the
Improvements Agreement and would be triggered if CR 70 were to be paved.
The proposed traffic stated in the application76 round trips per day at the start of operations with
possible expansion of up to 150 round trips per day maximum. The applicant agreed to the triggers for
paving and turn lanes in their revised traffic memodated May 9, 2012 These triggers will be a part of the
Improvements Agreement. The standard haul route for these types of facilities typically takes the heavy
traffic to the nearest paved roadway which would be west on CR 70 to CR 51. Maintenance of the haul
route is required. The applicant has indicated that some of their traffic (10%) would exit and enter from
the east on CR 70. If any traffic will travel to the east then that portion of the roadway will be included in
the Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement and maintenance will be required.
An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for this site. Public Works will provide a
draft of the Agreement after the Board of County Commissioners hearing for this project.
There shall be no parking or staging of vehicles on CR 70.
The maximum number of proposed trucks utilizingie site is 150. If the number of trucks exceeds this
maximum the Improvements and Road Maintenaktytement shall be revised and additional
improvements may be required to mitigate the additional impact to the haul route.
This property is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) defined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
