companies. The proposed use of the property is for storage of the vehicles, equipment
and supplies.
There is an existing individual sewage disposal system (SP-9900564) that was
permitted for a 3 bedroom home or 6 persons. According to the applicant, the home
has been converted into office space. There are 19 employees, including office, drivers
and mechanics, who access the site on a daily basis. The drivers and mechanics must
• also have access to potable water, restroom and hand washing facilities. The existing
septic system will require an engineer's review to ensure there is sufficient capacity to
serve the proposed business. If the septic system is found to be inadequate, the system
will require to be upgraded.
Central Weld County Water District provides water to the site. The applicant will need to
submit documentation from the Water District indicating there is sufficient capacity to
serve the business.
A dust abatement plan has been submitted and was found to be adequate. Dust will be
controlled by applying water on unpaved roads and/or treat with magnesium chloride,
and restricting vehicle speeds.
Light maintenance of vehicles and equipment is performed in the shop. The waste
handling plan included removal and disposal of refuse and wastes generated from
maintenance of vehicles, such as used oil, tires and batteries, and from spills of vehicle
fluids. The applicant informed that there are no floor drains in the shop. Also, vehicles
and equipment will not be washed at the site.

conditions be part of any approval:

Health and Environment. In the event the system is found to be inadequately
sized or constructed the system shall be brought into compliance with current
Regulations.

To: Chris Gathman, Planner August 2, 2011
From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR11-0002 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV11-00011)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a commercial business without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not yet been presented to the Board of County
Commissioners through the Violation Hearing process. Since this case has not been presented to the
Board of County Commissioners, no investigation fee is required as this time.
The violation was initiated upon an inspection of an almost adjacent violation case turned in by a private
citizen.
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,the commercial vehicles and all commercial operations
shall be removed from the property within 30(thirty)days. Additionally, if denied by the Board of County
Commissioners please request this violation case be referred to the County Attorney's Office with a delay
• of legal action for the 30 (thirty) days mentioned above.
