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. All issues of concern and critical issues during further review must be resolved with the Public Works Department. COMMENTS: The City of Dacono has jurisdiction over this portion of WCR 13 and access requirements will be determined by the City. Site Plan: 1. Parking areas and the access drive shall be surfaced with gravel, recycled asphalt or the equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems (requirement based on 200 vehicles • per day maximum, additional vehicles may trigger paving of the access). 2. Please provide a maximum number of people and traffic at the site for Public Works to comment on. Due to the wide range of estimates that have been given for this project and because a number of people and traffic greater than 500 people and 200 vehicles per day would trigger additional submittal requirements (i.e. traffic study, drainage report, etc.) the applicant will be responsible for keeping the numbers under the maximum or amending the USR and providing additional submittal items. The maximum number of vehicles per day shall be specified on the USR plat. 3. Perpendicular parking spaces should be 9'x19' with a drive aisle 24' wide (Weld County Code, Appendix 23-A). Please adjust the parking and circulation plan to reflect this (do not enlarge the proposed parking area). Please provide a count of the available parking spaces. Parking outside of the fenced parking lot area would indicate that there may be more traffic than the allowed 200 vehicles per day and may trigger a traffic count by the County. If the traffic count is found to be higher than the USR permits, the applicant may be required to amend the USR. 4. 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. Storm Water Drainage: The area and calculations provided for the water quality capture feature are acceptable. • 5. The area for the water quality feature shall he called out as "Reserved Drainage Area, No Build" on the USR plat. M:APLANNING—DEVELOPMENT REVIEW VUSR-Use by Special Review VUSR-1742 Lo Asian Market AUSK-1742.doc, 6. Please place on the plat the following statement: "Weld County is not responsible for the • maintenance of drainage related features." 7. 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. Geologic Hazard Area: The proposed site is in a Geologic Hazard Area. 8. Per the Weld County Code Section 23-2-550, the applicant must submit the application for review to the Colorado Geological Survey. Please refer to the County Code for application requirements and procedures. Flood Hazard Development Standards: This area is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA). pc: USR-1742 • • M_\PLANNING-.DEVELOPMENT REVIE.W\USR-Use by Special Review\USR-1742 Lo Asian Market\USR-1742 docx WELD COUNTY ROAD ACCESS INFORMATION SHEET Weld County Department of Public Works 111 H St PO Box 758 Greeley CO 80632 Phone: (970) 356-4000 x3750 Fax: (970) 304-6497 • Road File#: RD I3 Date: Cl— 14- to RE # : Other Case#: 1.

Because Mr. Lo will be providing a traffic study for the City of Dacono we would like to revise our comment to say that the site may operate within the limits of that traffic study. If traffic to the site goes over what was stated in the traffic study, a new study and amendment of the USR may be required.

At our meeting on March 11, 2010 we discussed these requirements and Mr. Lo adjusted his estimate to be below what the County would require for a traffic study and drainage report. We suggested that he speak to the City of Dacono about any access requirements. In our referral comments memo dated April 19, 2010, we stated that the City of Dacono has jurisdiction over WCR 13 at this location and access requirements would be determined by them. We again met with Mr. & Mrs. Lo on May 21, 2010 and informed them that we were waiting for the referral comments from the City of Dacono. le City of Dacono's referral comments were received on May 24, 2010 and the City is requesting a traffic study before ey will approve an access for this USR but the applicant has indicated that he is not willing to have a traffic study prepared for the site. The County is requesting that Mr. Lo provide an approved access for his USR. He will need to obtain it from the City of Dacono, who will set their own requirements for granting the access. Public Works strongly recommends that the applicant work with the City of Dacono to acquire access from WCR 13.

If you expand your operation in the future and have to put in permanent bathroom or other facilities, the permit would be required. We will ask that you put the following note on your final plat. "The site is in a Geologic Hazard Area. The temporary use allowed by this Use By Special Review permit does not require a Geological Hazard Development Permit (GHDP). If the use is expanded in the future and permanent structures are constructed, a GHDP will be required." In response to your second email...I don't think I fully understand what you are asking. We are not requiring that you aye the parking lot. If you were to go over the 200 cars per day maximum we would require you to come back in with a w application and at that time we may request that you pave the access. My comments on the parking area layout mean that your surveyor will need to adjust the interior fences inside the parking area to be 62 feet apart (19' parking space+ 24' drive aisle + 19' parking space). I was also asking that you don't increase the size of the parking area when you adjust the interior fences because your parking area will not be for 200 vehicles. This is because in your application you said that vendors may have cars in the vendor area and because the 200 vehicles is PER DAY so we expect cars to come and go throughout the day, not all 200 to arrive and leave at the same time. I don't expect you to provide painted parking stripes on the gravel, your surveyor can give an estimate of how many parking spaces there will be or you could measure the fences people will park against and divide by 9 (spaces are 9 feet wide). The adjustment of the parking aisles does not need to be done now and can be done after your hearing, that way if there are other changes for your surveyor to make, he can do them all at one time.

Thanks. Yia. From: hhansen@co.weld.co.us To: dejdag@hotmail.com Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:49:36 -0700 Subject: RE: Weld County Water Quality Feature Procedures I discussed your application with our traffic engineer and she said that she would have to review it on the basis of what you submit so we are unable to give you a definitive answer to your question. It is important that you provide us with honest estimates of the number of people and traffic you expect at the site and we need to set the requirements from those estimates. It is not proper for you to adjust your estimate based on our requirements. If you lower the numbers simply to lessen the requirements, you may go over the numbers in your application and be required to go through the entire process again. If you think there will be 700 people on the site you should put that in your application and allow us to review it. I understand that you are trying to save money and start out small but we don't want to review false numbers based on our requirements that would cause you to violate your USR.

The site proposed for the use by special review is eligible for annexation to the City and the site is within the City's Urban Growth Boundary. The City of Dacono Comprehensive Plan designates this area as future industrial use. At this time, the City of Dacono is not requesting the applicant be directed to the City of Dacono to discuss annexation as the use described in the application is considered temporary. Should permanent • structures, public improvements or other uses be proposed for this site, the City requests the applicant be directed to the City of Dacono to further discuss annexation. Overall, the City does not have significant issues with the proposed land use (flea market) as described in the application. There are questions/concerns regarding the estimated number of people estimated to use the site without sufficient infrastructure such as (permanent) restrooms and a public water source. Furthermore, the City requests more information regarding the frequency of the portable restrooms being serviced and trash removal. The City also has concerns about the intensity of the proposed use and demands the flea market may create for public safety personnel and the availability of such personnel. The applicant indicates that 100-200 vehicles will access the site. The City has concerns about the limited number of access points to the site. Based upon the traffic estimates, the City of Dacono requests a traffic impact study be conducted as part of this application to identify any unique demands and necessary improvements as Colorado Boulevard. Colorado Boulevard is maintained and controlled by the City of Dacono at the petitioned site. Specifically, the City would request a trip generation analysis, which would include the number of daily and peak hour anticipated trips associated with the proposed flea market, the time of day the peak operations are expected to occur and the probable distribution of these trips on the roadway network.
