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 134 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.
An access permit has been approved for this project. Please show the approved accesses on the Plat
and label them with the approved Access Permit number (AP12-00001).
Access improvements are required and shall include 60' radiuses to accommodate turning trucks and
double cattle guards at the exit to prevent the tracking of mud onto the County roadway.
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. Road
maintenance requiring dust control and repair of any damages to the County roadway due to hauling from
the site will be included in the agreement.
No parking or staging of trucks can take place on the County roadway.
This area IS NOT in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
There is no overnight parking, storage or buildings on this site, therefore a water quality depression was
not required.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Add the following conditions of approval to the plat:
a. Show the access points on the Plat and label them with the Access Permit number
(AP11-00001).
b. An Improvements and Road Maintenance agreement is required. Access improvements
