MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacqueline Hatch, Planning Services DATE: May 30, 2006
COLORADO FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator l
SUBJECT: AmUSR-1493, Stephen Brancucci & Copart Inc.
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:
Weld County Road Classification Plan (FHU): (June 2002) WCR 27 is a major arterial road, which requires a 140-foot
j'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 Ordinance (23-1-90), the required setback is measured from the future
right-of-way line.
REQUIREMENTS:
Access: The applicant has identified on the plat drawing two existing accesses from WCR 27. The existing north access by
j office shall be utilized as the main access point for employees and vehicles. The secondary access is a dirt access with
a gate to provide access to the pump house directly south of the main access gate. Utilize these two access points only.
Off-Street Parking: The applicant has paved the approach to the existing office building and the new parking lot area.
Each parking spot shall be adequately stripped and equipped with a wheel guard where needed to prevent vehicles from
extending beyond boundaries, other spaces, and coming into contact with vehicles, walls, fences, sidewalks, or plantings.
Vehicle Storage Area: The vehicle storage area shall be surfaced with gravel or the equivalent and shall be graded to
prevent drainage problems. The plat drawing is identifying a 30-foot wide roadway for traffic flow throughout the facility. All
access isles will have a typical maximum outside radius of 50-foot and a typical minimum inside radius of 30-foot.
Future Right-of-Way: Additional right-of-way has been reserved for future expansion of WCR 27 for a total of 70 feet of
right-of-way from the centerline of WCR 27. The applicant has placed solid fencing within the future right-of-way.
The Weld County Public Works is agreeable with this that at some time in the future when WCR 27 is expanded, this solid
fencing shall be removed and relocated at the cost of the applicant outside the future right-of-way.
Storm Water Drainage: The applicant has submitted a final drainage report amended 1 dated April 25, 2006. This will be
'passed on to our drainage division for review and approval. Please contact Dave Bauer, extension 3739) or Brian Varella
(extension 3741).

Re: An Amendment to a Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review
Permit(AmUSR-r493)
Dear Ms. Hatch:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the referenced project referral. In February
of 2003, the City of Brighton sent the Weld County Department of Planning Services a
comment letter on Case Numbers: CZ-Ioz8 and CZ-Ioz9 in regards to the rezoning of the
property from an agricultural designation to an industrial designation. As we stated in that
letter, the City of Brighton was generally opposed to the rezoning designation to an industrial
zone district. Within the letter we specifically noted the following:
> The City of Brighton is particularly concerned with the prospect of potential industrial uses
along HWY 8y(Case Number CZ-r028), which collectively forms the"gateway"to Brighton,
and would request that such uses be precluded from the HWY 8y corridor, unless accompanied
by stringent buffering and landscaping standards.
> Likewise, the proposed rezoning of property with Case Number CZ-myinvokes similar
concerns regarding WCR 27; the City of Brighton would request that, if approved, such
approval would be contingent upon the inclusion of similar buffering and landscaping standards
requested for the Hwy 85 corridor.
The City of Brighton's position has not changed in regards to our belief that this area
is not appropriate for industrial uses; however, the site is currently zoned industrial and
thereby, steps should be taken to mitigate the impacts of the zoning and uses on the
surrounding environs.
The recent site plan referred to us (dated 5/1/06) along with the rest of the referral
materials denotes an eight foot (8') high fence along the perimeter of the property. This fence
is made of corrugated steel and will undoubtedly be vandalized and "tagged", perhaps on a
regular basis. The city highly encourages a condition requiring routine maintenance of the
perimeter fence, but would prefer an adjustment of the site plan in order to set the fence
further within the property and the placement of evergreen trees on the outside of the fence
along Weld County Road 27 in order to provide visual breaks in the fence and to decrease vast
expanses of fencing, which may help deter vandals in "tagging" the perimeter fencing.
"Nene: 303-655-2059 gat: 303-655-2019
Furthermore, the City of Brighton is concerned that due to the elevation of the site,
vehicular traffic traveling along US-85(which is at a higher grade) will be able to see into the
site. As the plan and accompanying material set forth, the site consists of approximately
forty-five acres of damaged vehicles with a four acre non-standard vehicle area for vehicles
over eight feet in height. Due to the change in elevation between US-85 and the site,
passersby will still be able to view materials greater than eight feet in height, especially with
only an eight foot fence "screening" the outdoor storage. The City of Brighton does not feel
that the "screening" as provided is adequate. Perhaps a condition should be placed on the
plans such that nothing over eight feet in height will be allowed to be stored on the property?
Finally, the City of Brighton is concerned with the applicant's statements regarding
how the proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code - Chapter 22
(Comprehensive Plan), and is compatible with surrounding uses. The applicant states, "The
proposal is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan because there are other areas of
industrial zoning in the immediate vicinity of this property..." However, on page z of the Use By
Special Review questionnaire, the applicant denotes that the property to the west is a lake
used for waterskiing purposes. How is an approximate sixty-acre site of damaged vehicles
compatible or similar to a lake? Additionally, the questionnaire states that the property
adjoins a residential use on the east. Is the proposal really compatible with residential? The
validity of the proposal, as set forth by the applicant, should be seriously considered.
In summary, the City of Brighton is opposed to the requested amendment and would
ask that it be denied; however, if the Commission finds that the conditional use is acceptable,
we would ask that the following conditions be considered:
ee An adjustment of the site plan in order to set the fence further within the
property and the placement of evergreen trees on the outside of the fence
along Weld County Road 27 in order to provide visual breaks in the fence and
to decrease vast expanses of fencing, which may help deter vandals in
"tagging" the perimeter fencing. If this is not acceptable, the city would ask
that a requirement be added for routine maintenance of the perimeter fence;
and
4. The storage of materials over eight feet in height will not be allowed. If this
is not acceptable, the city would ask that a requirement be added such that
additional screening measures are to be taken on the west side of the property
in order to block views into the site from US-85 due to elevation changes
between the roadway and the site.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to review this project. Please do not hesitate to contact
me at (303) 655-20zz (or via e-mail at hprather@brightonco.gov), should you require
additional or more detailed information concerning this response.
