The proposed use of this business would be an Event Center where we can hold weddings and other special events. The business name would be Lone Tree Creek Event Center. 2. We need more affordable Venues. We would like to provide a beautiful space to hold special occasions, but at an affordable cost to our customers. 3. The current use of this land is for residential. Previous use of this land was agriculture. 4. We are about 200/300ft away from any of our neighbors with trees to block us. 5. The land surrounding us is used for Agriculture, business and residential. There are 2 other home businesses on our block and we feel like we would blend in well. 6. The hours of operation will vary. We will be renting this facility primarily Friday and Saturdays in the evenings. Most weddings start around 5pm and end around 10pm. 7. As of now since we are so small we won't have any employees. We will occasionally hire outside contractors to work on landscaping or other projects that may arise. 8. The maximum number of people that we will allow to use our venue at one time is 150. 9. There will not be animals at our facility. Only specified service animals will be allowed. 10. The only equipment that we use regularly on our property is our tractor. This is used for personal use not for the venue. 11. We have one home that we live in, one barn that was built to use for the venue and one shed that we use to store any of our tools. 12. We try to maintain a clean, well kept property. We will not have any place for waste besides our dumpster that is located by the garage. All of our storage is kept in the garage or shed. 13. The trash is picked up the last Thursday of the month. 14. All construction on the Barn is complete. Unless there is anything required from the county. 15. There is a 300 sq ft asphalt driveway that goes to the house and splits off to the barn. We have a 500 sq ft patio behind the barn. On each side of the barn there is a walkway made of crushed granite that is about 240 sq ft. Up against the barn is river rock where we will be planting flowers on the north and south sides. These flower beds are about 320 sq ft. Most of the Landscape is natural field grasses. On the southside of the barn there is river rock and mountain granite rock. This area is about 8ft wide of river rock by 80ft long and the mountain granite area is about 6ft wide by 40ft long. 16. There is enough parking for 65 cars in the parking lot up at the front of the property. We have a smaller parking lot located next to the building that can hold 12 cars with 2 of them being handicap. 17. We are planning on doing a split rail fence on the westside of the property which is the entrance. 18. There is a 20x20 concrete patio behind the barn. We have a concrete patio in the font of the barn. On each side there is a walkway made of crushed granite that is 3ft wide by 80ft long. Up against the barn is bark where we will be planting flowers on the north and south sides. These flower beds are about 4ft wide by 80ft long. Most of the Landscape is natural field grasses. On the westside at the front entrance we have a nice metal and wood sign. At the front of the property we would like to do a split rail fence. 19. At this time we don't have reclamation procedures because we see this as long term. If we are not approved, we will need to phase out this process allowing brides enough time to book another Venue. 20. The fire protection measures we will have in place are two fire extinguishers at the front and back of the Venue. Clear exit signs at all entrances. The Galeton fire department is only 4 miles from us. We have two very large barn doors on the east and west side of the barn that are left unlocked during an event; they are easy to roll open if a fire occurred. This would allow at least 10 people at a time through. There are two man doors on the north and southside that remain unlocked during events. 21. Our Venue is consistent with Weld County Comprehensive plan Chapter 22 because we will respect the Agricultural Heritage in this community. We are here to blend in and not take away from our farmers and ranchers. We want to support our community and what it stands for. We will respect our neighbors and their rights. We will be respectful with noise and trash. We will be part of the Economic Growth with this business and hopefully someday be able to employ others. We will help protect the health and safety of the citizens of Weld county by being mindful of what's going on, helping people at our facility to make wise decisions on not drinking too much. We will allow them to leave their cars here overnight if they need to call someone to pick them up. 22. We Value Agriculture and respect that it is a valuable resource which must be protected. We do not want to encroach on or disturb any agriculture that takes place around us. As a Venue we are able to continue to look like a residential home we will not need to make major changes to allow for this business to take place. We will not be an interference to the production of Agriculture. 23. I am unaware of any future developments that may occur around us. I do know that we would be compatible if such developments occur because we provide an environment for people to gather and celebrate. 24. The impacts to the health, safety and welfare of our neighbors should be minimal because we want to keep gatherings down to only 4 times a month. If there are any impacts it would be from an increase in traffic on those days. 25. There is an irrigation ditch that runs along the back side of our property. The venue will conserve the agricultural land by making sure we have native grasses growing on our land and that we continue to cut back or get rid of any noctious weeds that may pop up. 26. This Venue will be outside of any overlay zoning districts. 27. I am not aware of any permits that we need to obtain. Use by Special Review Environmental Health Questionnaire 1.

Per the Weld County Development Standards and Regulations, the following memorandum will address the existing conditions, proposed trip generation, parking analysis, and traffic impacts to the surrounding area. BACKGROUND Jose and Susan Garcia ("Applicant") are seeking approval of a USR to permit a wedding venue of approximately 150 guests at 33546 County Road 49 in Greeley, Colorado. This memorandum provides the results of a traffic analysis performed in support of the approximately 8-acre lot further identified as Weld County Parcel Number 080118000064. The site is currently zoned Agricultural (A)and is currently occupied by an approximately 1,765 SF single family house and 3,200 SF barn. The site location is shown in Figure 1. The site is accessed via County Road 49 which is classified by Weld County as a local road and provides north-south connection through the county. The roadway is a two lane undivided and paved section. Regional access is provided via Hwy-392 to the south and is classified by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) as a Major Collector and provides east-west connection through the county. Direct access to the subject site is provided via a full movement access on County Road 49. No change to access is being proposed. PROPOSED SPECIAL USE The Applicant is applying for a Use by Special Review permit to allow for the site to be used as a wedding and event space. Events would primarily occur on Friday and Saturday evenings as it will be marketed as a wedding venue space. For analysis purposes, the maximum occupancy was assumed to be 150 guests.The ceremonies typically occur after 2:00 PM and all guests would be required to leave by 11:00 PM. Galloway&Company, Inc.

N. , 0 q1k4 0 A e y. i SITE — w .i Ch 0 I W Q HY-392 ,' � l Figure 1—Site Location TRIP GENERATION As previously mentioned, the Applicant seeks a USR to allow for the site to be used as a wedding event space. It was assumed that the events would host a maximum of 150 guests. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook 11th Edition rates do not provide trip generation rates for an event use similar to the proposed use. The following assumptions were made to determine a reasonable trip generation estimate for the proposed use: • 15 employees per event that arrive before the guests and leave after guests have departed (outside of the peak hours), • Auto occupancy for employees at 1.0 per vehicle, • The bridal party would arrive at least 2 hours before the guests, • 85% of the total guests arrive to the event within the peak hour, and • Auto occupancy for guests at 2.5 per vehicle. Using the above assumptions,the proposed use would generate 51 Friday Weekday PM peak hour trips (all inbound trips), 51 Saturday peak hour trips (all inbound trips), and 150 Saturday daily trips. This is Galloway&Company, Inc. Lone Tree Creek Event Center Greeley,CO shown in Table 1. It is assumed that 95% of the traffic will be to/from the south and 5% will be to/from the north. NETWORK IMPACTS The proposed Use by Special Review would result in an insignificant addition of trips to the surrounding network. The surrounding network infrastructure and traffic control are established and no change to access is being proposed. It should also be noted that the peak hour of the proposed use will often occur outside of the peak hour of the street network. No adverse impacts to the surrounding network are anticipated should the proposed USR be approved. The traffic impacts associated with the proposed use would be adequately accommodated by the constructed road network without the need for additional improvements. PARKING According to the Weld County Charter and Code, Chapter 23, Article IV Section 23-4-40"Number of Off- Street Parking Spaces Required", any land use activity not otherwise identified shall be consistent with a comparable use. A comparable use for this event use would be a Church. Church uses require a minimum of 1.0 off-street parking spaces per 4 seats of rated seating capacity. Table 2 provides a summary of the required and proposed parking for the site. As shown in table 2, the maximum event size would require 38 spaces. The applicant is proposing 77 spaces, 2 of which would be handicapped spaces. This would provide adequate parking space for the proposed use. CONCLUSION The proposed Use by Special review, if approved, would result in an insignificant addition of trips to the surrounding network. No adverse impacts to the surrounding network are anticipated. The Applicant's proposal provides adequate off-street parking for the proposed use. We trust that the information contained herein satisfies the request of Weld County, CO.
