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: The Department of Planning Services is not indicating that this is a major facility of a public utility; therefore, the applicant shall complete the full hearing process before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioner for final determination. WCR 16 and WCR 17 are designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan (FHU) as local gravel roads, which require a 60-foot right-of-way at full build out. Both roads presently have a 60-foot right-of-way. 'hese roads are maintained by Weld County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County .ode, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. REQUIREMENTS: Access: The applicant is indicating on the plat drawing that the "proposed" tower site accesses from WCR 16 and the "future" tower site accesses from WCR 17. Utilize these existing access points as they are shown on the plat drawing. The access width required for emergency equipment (fire department/emergency response) is a minimum of 20 feet. The applicant needs to verify with the local emergency responder that the existing accesses and road to the facility meets their minimum requirement. Storm Water Drainage: 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. pc: USR -1508 M:\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\USR-Use by Special Review\USR-1508.DOC 1 }I t ate FL , € 0 I " Alit I i', - o' ' Ot .� " _eti Val*' f ttt F � k ,;Fl ir,tPa st. -u �u r#t r r� I � 44, n F'f$ # 3 �. e `. , , et_',,;,, "i a ,,,, y zF _ o 4 i �{ , kF' r I ; 14' t.

This application has been reviewed and causes concern because facilities of this magnitude would not be allowed under the current Land Use Code. We appreciate the fact that the proposed towers have been located adjacent to the existing tower rather than another location. This application is within the proposed planning area for the Town of Frederick. The proposed plan is set for adoption in November 2005. The proposed land uses in this area are primarily residential. The existing Land Use Code requires that wireless communications facilities be in an industrial zoning district. Approval of the proposed towers is also contrary to the Land Use Code's limitation on height. The Code would allow a tower to be no higher than 70 feet. The proposed towers would be more than 10 times higher than this. Considering that residences are likely to surround the site, please consider requesting that the applicant provide landscape buffers around the site's perimeter. A row of trees would greatly help buffer not only the accessory building and base of the towers, but also the guy wires. Thanks again for sending the referral. If you have further questions, please feel free to call me at (303) 833-2388. Regards, Jennifer Hoffmann, AICP Senior Planner Town of Frederick cc: File 4000-6733a Hello
