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 30 is a collector road and requires an 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. Weld County has 30 feet of unmaintained County right-of-way east of and adjacent to the CR 47 section line. • It appears that there is a parcel under other ownership between the USR parcel and the County right-of- way. An easement will need to be obtained in order to cross this parcel and access onto the unmaintained section line right-of-way. Please record the easement via separate document and submit a copy of the recorded easement as well as written permission from the landowner to cross the property with a business access. A non-exclusive license agreement between the applicant and the County is required to utilize the unmaintained County right-of-way along the CR 47 section line. This agreement will state that the applicant is aware that the County right-of-way is unmaintained, that their use is not exclusive and the County will not be responsible for repairs, maintenance and snow removal. The agreement will be prepared by the Public Works department for the applicant before recording the plat. The applicant shall utilize the existing access onto CR 30. No additional accesses onto CR 30 will be granted. Adequate truck turning radiuses (45' min) are required at the access point on to CR 30. The access and driveways interior to the property must consist of an all-weather surface such as recycled asphalt or the equivalent or a tracking control pad may be required at the access point to prevent tracking of mud and debris on to the County roadway. Please show the approved access(es) on the plat and label them with the approved access permit number. The approved access permit number will be provided when the applicant either submits the additional items (written permission and a recorded easement) to access the CR 47 right-of-way or when the applicant resubmits a revised access permit application form showing only the access on to CR 30. • An improvements agreement may be required if the above improvements (all-weather surface/tracking pad, turn radiuses, water quality depression) as well as any requirements from the Planning Department (fencing, landscaping, etc.) are not fully installed prior to recording the plat. The applicant has submitted a water quality depression design that is acceptable to Public Works.

REQUIREMENTS: 1. Submit a recorded easement and written approval for access across the neighboring property to the CR 47 unmaintained section line right-of-way or submit a revised access permit application and site plan showing a single access on to CR 30. 2.

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. Weld County is not responsible for the maintenance of on-site drainage related features. 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. pc: USR11-0009 • M:\PLANNING\T.Parko\Cases\USR\USRI 1-0009_Thompson Referral.doc Y • Kit MEMORANDUM TO: TOM PARKO, PLANNING SERVICES FROM: LAUREN LIGHT,C. 1E O09 BARRONRONMENTAL HEALTH SUBJECT: USR COLORADO DATE: SEPTEMBER 19,2011 Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for an oil and gas support facility (oil and gas equipment refurbishment, storage and shop).

Water District 2 Dear Mr Parko. This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28- 101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11. 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water • supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. According to the submitted information, the proposal is to use this 7-acre parcel, which was created through a Subdivision Exemption, for oil and gas equipment refurbishing and storage. The applicant proposes to use an existing well with permit no. 266513 to supply water for the proposed business. Well permit no. 266513 was issued on November 9. 2005 pursuant to § 37-92- 602(3)(b)(II)(A), C.R.S., as the only well on a tract of 40 acres described as the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 24, Township 3 North. Range 65 West of the 6'" P.M., 7 acres of which is the subject of this referral. The well is currently permitted to be used for fire protection, ordinary household purposes inside not more than three single-family dwellings. the irrigation of not more than one acre of home gardens and lawns and the watering of domestic animals. and livestock on a farm or ranch The proposed use of the water is for a commercial use. which is not allowed per well permit no. 266513. Therefore. the well would need to be re-permitted for the proposed uses of the water. The options for re-permitting are as follows. • Exempt commercial well, issued pursuant to § 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A), C.R.S., and the April 9, 1985 policy concerning the evaluation of well permit applications for exempt commercial uses. This type of well would not allow for any domestic use and would limit commercial use to indoor drinking and sanitation and not more than 1/3 acre-foot per year total water use. • Non-exempt well, issued pursuant to § 37-92-137(4). C.R.S., which would quantify the amount of water available for withdrawal under the parcel. Based on the evaluation conducted for issuance of permit no. 266513. the well is completed in the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills formation. Based on that evaluation, there are about 1.8 acre-feet of water per year available under the 7-acres. This water could be used for a range of uses that the well permit applicant might request, including commercial. 111 Office of the State Engineer 1313 tih'rman Str''t,Sint'S IS•1)cnvcr, CO 80203• Phone:303 Sbo 37,S 1 • Fa\:303-S(,t,_33S9 5ti lY\ .'.\'ak'rr.tita tt.'.co.us Weld USR11-0009 Page 2 August 18 2011 Should you have any questions. please contact Tracy Kosloff of this office. • Sin erely, A__itbz(A.4 Joan a Williams, P.E.
