MEMORANDUM

COLORADO
To: Michelle Martin, Planner II May 9, 2007
From: Bethany Salzman, Zoning Compliance Officer II
Subject: USR-1613 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (VI-0700032) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of Front Range Seamless Gutters without the necessary Weld
County Zoning Permits. This case has not been presented to the Board of County Commissioners
through the Violation Hearing process.
This application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners will correct the violation. If this
application is denied, please ask the Board of County Commissioners to refer this case to the County
Attorney's Office, but to delay legal action for 30 (thirty) days in order to give them adequate time to
ensure that all operations and vehicles have been removed from the property.

MEMORANDUM N" ` y, 'Jill-,
TO: Michelle Martin, Planning Services DATE: May 15, 2007
O FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator ifr6
• SUBJECT: USR-1613, Warren and Deborah Smith
COLORADO
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls primarily under the
purview of the Use by Special Review Standards, Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article II, Division 4; Section
23. Our comments and requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS & REQUIREMENTS:
Weld County Road Classification Plan (FHU): (June 2002)
The applicant is applying for a Special Review on property located along WCR 7 just south of WCR 12. WCR
7 and 12 are classified as major arterial roadways with 140-feet of right-of-way. Currently, only WCR 12 north
of the property is within Weld County jurisdiction. Weld County Road 7 along the eastern boundary of the
property is the Town of Erie's jurisdiction. This application is directly abuts the town limits of Erie and may
require a review by the town to satisfy IGA parameters.
aiursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance (23-1-90), the required setback
r buildings as part of this development is measured from the future right-of-way line. All building envelopes
must adhere to these setback requirements.
Access: The applicant currently has three access points onto WCR 7; two near the business/residences and
one near the WCR 12/7 intersection. The application appears to preserve these three locations without the
addition of any new accesses. All upgraded access points should meet the requirements outlined in Section
23-2-240; part 9. The applicant is advised that the northern access to WCR 7 at the WCR 12 intersection is
currently in an unsafe location as it enters diagonally into the intersection. This access point should be located
back on WCR 12 or 7 at least 100-feet. Sight distance at this location should be checked against arterial sight
distance standards.
Off-Street Parking: The USR plot plan submittal shows approximately 25 parking spaces. Many of these
spaces are currently occupied by employee and business vehicle parking. Additional vehicles such as trailers
and motor homes are also parked on the property. The parking plan submitted should designate parking spots
for employees, customers and business trucks and dimension them accordingly (per Section 23-2-260; 10).
The applicant should further address this issue. Designated parking areas should be surfaced with an all
weather surfacing material.
The Department of Planning Services will determine the appropriate number of parking spaces as dictated by
the proposed use. All parking spaces will be required to use wheel stops to delineate parking from walk or
pedestrian travel areas.
Easements & Rights of Way: The applicant is required to identify and dimension, on the plot map, the type
nd location of all easements and ROW on or adjacent to, the subject parcel. Currently, the applicant identifies
easement line but does not mention the type or use and none are dimensioned. Utility easements must
also be shown on the map. Improvements (buildings, etc.) should be located in a manner as to not encroach
or limit the use of these easements or ROW.
Identification Sign: The applicant has not indicated on the plot map the desire to install additional
entification signs for the facility (other than what are installed on the fence). If desired, it should be identified
n the plat, if appropriate, and be located outside any future right-of-way or easements. (Ch. 23, Article VI,
Division 2)
Soils: A soils report for the site has not been provided. The applicant has provided a soils identification map
as part of the plot plan. This map is very difficult to read. A soils investigation should have been completed to
determine subgrade suitability for the buildings and their foundation construction. At a minimum, soils shall be
identified according to 23-2-260, D, part 4; c; 4 in a readable, understandable format.
Storm Water Drainage: The applicant has only provided a brief description of the drainage features on the
site. The applicant's property does not appear to detain developed condition flows from the site. The applicant
shall provide the appropriate runoff calculations to determine if the sizing and location of the existing drainage
features are adequate to accept this additional runoff. This can be provided in the form of a drainage report
and must comply with the Urban Storm Drainage Criteria —Weld County modifications (Code Chapter 8, Article
XI, Appendix 8L). All detention, water quality and release standards will need to be met unless waived by
Weld County Public Works staff. Brain Varrella, staff drainage engineer may be reached at 304-6496 #3741.
Floodplain: This application is not within any FEMA regulated floodplains.
Traffic Generation: The applicant discusses traffic generation in section 5 of the USR application. They have
provided data that they employ 20 individuals. However, the applicant does not discuss the amount of
customers or delivery vehicles that use the site. At a minimum, this type of use could expect to generate
approximately 50-100 total trips per day. This amount of traffic is substantial. However, many of the trips are
generated on roadways outside of Weld County jurisdiction.

Longmont, CO 80504
Dear Ms. Martin:
RE: USR-1613, SSDP and SUR for a non-agriculturally related business in the Agricultural
Zoning District (4871 CR 7, Erie, CO 80516) located in the NE '/ of section 9, Township
1N, Range 68 West of the 6th P.M.
Thank you for the referral regarding the proposed development at 4871 CR 7, Erie, CO 80516
(USR-1613). It is understood that the proposed development consists of a gutter business to be
located in an undefined size structure, outdoor storage of equipment and materials, with 20
employees utilizing ten vans and four trucks and residence resulting in a minimum estimated
• total of 78 trips per day, excluding deliveries, and other incidental traffic generated by the
proposed business. The application indicates that there are a few other residences with business
in proximity to the site which may generate similar levels of traffic and impacts within this area
zoned Agricultural by Weld County.
In consideration of the proposal, it is unlikely that the 3.45 acre parcel can provide significant
agricultural production,however it is suitably sized for recreational or hobby agriculture and a
residence (which appears to be the current/intended use and is consistent with the surrounding
neighborhood). The proposed gutter business may not be consistent with the existing zoning
district, the intent of the Agricultural Zone as noted in the Weld County Zoning Code (see
section 23-3-10. Intent), the Weld County Comprehensive Plan (see Sec. 22-2-60), or the
neighborhood as described by the applicant. Furthermore, the proposed development may have
the potential to adversely impact the health, safety and welfare of residents within Weld County
unless specific improvements are made to mitigate those potential impacts. Additionally, this
development should be located within a municipality where the resources exist to adequately
serve the development and an economy of scale exists to assist with public safety, improvements
and infrastructure. While the Town of Frederick has no objection to the proposal or interest in
annexing this site, for consideration, there are several vacant lots within the Glacier Business
Park (within one mile of the site) and other areas zoned for this use that would provide for the
proposed business, as a use by right, without any additional improvements or investment in
public infrastructure, concerns for health and safety, or conflicts with the existing and future
neighborhood.

• Thanks again for the opportunity to comment on the proposed development. The proposed
development is not within the Town of Frederick's planning area. As noted previously, the
Town of Frederick has no conflict with this request. Should the applicant choose to relocate to a
site within the Town of Frederick, we would be happy to assist in the review and approval for
this proposed development as a use by right in several of our zoning districts.

Landscape Referral
The Department of Planning Services reviewed the above referenced Use by Special Review
documentation and drawings and offers the following comments:
The Use by Special Review Plat shall be prepared in accordance with Section 23-2-260.D of
the Weld County Code. In addition to these requirements, the plat scale shall be 1" = 40 feet.
The Vicinity Map scale of 1" = 2000 feet scale accurately be delineated on the plat.
This application shall be in compliance with Section 23-3-250 A. and B and is address in the
following comments.
Section 23-3-250.A.1
Stormwater Management. All users of land shall provide and maintain stormwater retention
• facilities designed to retain the stormwater runoff in excess of historic flow from the developed
site. The stormwater retention facility on a developed site shall be designed for a one-hundred-
year storm. The stormwater retention facility shall be designed and operated to release the
retained water at a quantity and rate not to exceed the quantity and rate of a five-year storm
falling on the undeveloped site. The application materials do not specifically address this issue,
stating that the surface water flows east into the adjacent borrow ditch where it is piped for
discharge into an adjacent field. The applicant shall contact the Storm Water Engineering Staff
of the Weld County Department of Public Works, to further discuss this issue. Written
evidence of compliance shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services.
Section 23-3-250.A.2
Parking. Sufficient screened, off-street, paved parking areas shall be provided to meet the
requirements of employees, company vehicles, visitors and customers of the Uses Allowed by

spaces and Appendix 23-B delineates the number of parking spaces required by use for this
property.
The proposed facility is comprised of one single family structure with a detached carport, an
unknown dimensioned pole barn and a shed, also of unknown dimension that is associated with
this commercial facility. For the purposes of this referral staff has taken the position for full
buildout of the property, i.e., 20 persons using the property to access the the facility for the
purpose of loading and unloading materials
The application materials also state that up to fourteen vehicles are parked over night within the

fenced service yard. Hours of operation are daily 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is unclear if this is a
Monday through Sunday operation or a Monday through Friday/ Saturday. Staff requests
• clarification on this point.
The parking requirement for this facility is as follows: The single family residence has a
separate point of ingress and egress and is not subject to the parking requirement for the
facility. The twenty employees who utilize the service yard shall each be afforded one parking
space. The fourteen (ten cube vans and four trucks) are also afforded one parking space.
Total parking required for this facility is thirty-four (34) parking spaces.
Should the employee numbers increase, the parking requirement shall be structured according
to Appendix 23-B of the County Code. Written evidence of compliance shall be submitted to the
Department of Planning Services.
Section 23-3-250.A.3
Street Access. Lots shall have safe access to an approved public or private street. The design
designation of any street or highway as to type shall be in conformance with that shown on the
county thoroughfare plan and/or the master plan of the affected municipality. Visual inspection
of the USR Plat identifies two points of ingress and egress, onto County Road 7. The internal
circulation is unclear, additional information shall be submitted delineating the internal circulation

required to comply with the minimum setback and may be located on the property line. Fences
located on corner lots abutting public right-of-way shall not obstruct the view of vehicular traffic
at an intersection. There was not a scaled elevational drawing of the proposed facility, therefore,
prior to the release of building permits, the set back shall be verified given the existing proposed
site conditions, specifically addressing the landscape and screening component that is
delineated within the County Road 7 right-of-way. Written evidence of compliance shall be
submitted to the Department of Planning Services.
