SUBJECT: USR12-0047, Douglas Duggan
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 may not be all-inclusive, as
other issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
CR 122 is a collector road and requires a 80-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 (AP11-00499).
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 roadway. The standard tracking control for
accesses onto gravel roads includes double cattle guards at the access point. Other means of tracking
control may be proposed.
Please reference the recorded easement used for access on the plat.
The proposed traffic stated in the application is up to 12 truck roundtrips per day. Exceeding these
numbers may require revision of the Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement.
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 122.
No storage of materials or equipment or overnight parking is proposed therefore a water quality area was
not required.
This property is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) defined by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA).
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Add the following conditions of approval to the plat:
a. Show and label the approved access points on the Plat (AP11-00499).
b. Reference the recorded easement used for access on the Plat.
c. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for this site. Access
improvements shall include 60' turning radiuses and tracking control to prevent the

2. Add the following development standards 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. 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.
c. There shall be no parking or staging of vehicles on CR 122.

As indicated above, it is the policy of this department that portable toilets are allowed

Services policy the use of portable toilets is allowed. The applicants are requesting that
the requirement for water and sewer is waived.
The applicant submitted a dust abatement plan which states the drive and loading area
will be watered as necessary.
The waste handling plan states that trash will be kept in an enclosed container and
transported to the applicant's residence where it will be disposed of by Waste
Management.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we recommend 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 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.
4. The applicant shall operate in accordance with the approved "waste handling
plan", at all times.

5. Fugitive dust and fugitive particulate emissions shall be controlled on this site.
The facility shall be operated in accordance with the approved "dust abatement
plan", at all times.

the Non-Specified Zone as delineated in Section 14-9-30 of the Weld County
Code.

patrons of the facility. As employees or contractors are on site for less than 2
consecutive hours a day, portable toilets are acceptable.

minimize spills. Fresh water spills should be captured in above-ground
containment areas for reuse or allowed to infiltrate. There shall be no discharge
from this process to surface waters or to the facility's stormwater management

Quality Control Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR12-0047 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer,an active Zoning Violation(COMP11-00147)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a commercial water hauling business without first completing
the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld County Court
Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process. However, since this is an active violation, an
investigation fee is required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information.
This application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a plat is recorded will
correct the violation. If this application is denied, all commercial vehicles and associated activities and/or
storage shall be removed from the property within 30(thirty)days of denial or the violation will proceed in
court accordingly.
