Our comments and requirements are as follows: COMMENTS: WCR 43 is a paved 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. Our most current average daily traffic count (ADT) reflects 510 vehicles taken in a 24-hour period in 2005 on WCR 43 just north of this location. This USR application will add an additional 150 vehicle trips during events. EQUIREMENTS: Storm Water Drainage: The current steel building 198' x 325' (roping arena and stalls), 8" wide x 3' deep grade beam around all exterior walls, the building sits on piers and footers at a depth of 53" below the finished floor elevation of 4807.0' with a dirt interior floor, and compacted fill all around the building tapered down at a 10% slope, within the Lone Tree Creek 100-yr Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulated floodplain. The building has a Flood Hazard Development Permit (FHDP) #399 dated April 13, 2001, along with a FEMA Elevation Certificate stamped by Kenneth R. Alles Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) #9644, dated December 12, 2001 the Base Flood Elevation per the certificate is 4806'. The applicant will need to apply for another Flood Hazard Development Permit (FHDP) for any future structures or fill to be located in the 100-year floodplain shown on FEMA's FIRM map(s) that include the site. If they propose any fill in the floodplain (for structures, driveways, other construction), they will need to provide evidence in the form of a hydraulic analysis to ensure no construction is within the floodway and that the fill does not block flow and cause any flooding impacts on adjacent properties or roadways. All storm water detention facilities shall be designed to detain the storm water runoff from the fully developed USR from a one-hundred-year storm and release the detained water at a rate not to exceed the rate of a five- year storm falling on the undeveloped site. (Weld County Code Ordinances 2001-1; 2003-10, and 2006-7). All storm water must be detained on site and follow the requirements per Weld County Code 24-7-130 D and Ordinance 2006-7. Since this entire USR site is within the 100-yr floodplain Public Works will waive the above requirement and require the applicant to detain the fully developed USR from a ten-year storm and release the detained water at a rate not to exceed the rate of a five-year storm falling on the undeveloped site. The ,pplicant shall also provide Water Quality Capture Volume in addition to the detention requirement. The etention pond shall capture the roping arena, stalls, parking lot, and area delineated as part of this USR stormwater runoff. It shall be located to gravity flow into the Lone Tree Creek thalweg, it shall be outside the 10-yr storm floodplain limits and any overtopping shall be properly protected to prevent erosion and failure. • • No berming will be allowed to create the detention pond. A drainage report will be required with supporting •ata and calculations for these requirements. Public Works strongly suggests that the existing arena building install flood vents per the following: 1. Per guidelines published in Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 60.3, Section C, Part 5 (44 CFR 60.3.c.5): a. There shall be a minimum of 2 openings on at least 2 walls. b. Flood vents shall have a total net area of no less than 1 square inch of venting for every 1 square foot of enclosed area. c. The bottom of the opening shall be no higher than 1.0 ft above the adjacent grade. d. The final (as-built) flood venting design shall be certified by a registered professional engineer (P.E.). e. Openings may have screens, valves, or other covers that permit automatic entry and exit of floodwaters. Signs shall be placed around the detention pond to notify drivers of its location. A stop sign shall be placed at the intersection of WCR 43 and the driveway into the Arena to stop westbound traffic to help safe entry on the WCR 43 which has a posted speed limit of 55 mph. Place signs to indicate where the trucks and trailers are to park. is recommended that the applicant wet down the driveway with a water truck before, during and after events o prevent excessive dust in the air and blowing onto neighboring properties. Right-of-Way: The applicant shall indicate on the plat drawing the existing and/or future right-of-way for WCR 43. • pc: USR-1633 M:\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\USR-Use by Special Review AmUSR-1633.DOC 2 • • WELD COUNTY ROAD ACCESS INFORMATION SHEET • Road File#: Date: - 2O 01 RE # : Other Case#: Weld County Department of Public Works 111 H Street, P.O.
