Water Division 1,Water District 2 Dear Mr. Ogle: This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision"as defined in Section 30-28- 101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this development or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The referral information states that the commercial facility will be served by two irrigation wells and one domestic well. Well nos. 267R and 268R will be used for irrigation purposes at the site. The wells are currently augmented under the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (Central)court approved augmentation plan and will be used to irrigate the same land approved under case no. W- 384. Therefore, the wells can be used for the proposed purpose. The ability of the wells to satisfy the water requirements at the site will depend on the quantity of water required annually and the ability of Central to augment the wells. The referral information did not clearly explain how the domestic well, permit no 8741, would be used at the site. As currently permitted, the well can only be used for domestic purposes. If the employees and/or customers will be using water from the domestic well for drinking and/or sanitary purposes a commercial well permit must be obtained. Should you have any questions in this matter, please contact Joanna Williams of this office. Sincerely, yin Kevin G. Rein, P.E.

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 4 is a collector road and requires an 80-foot right-of- way at full build out. The applicant shall verify the existing right-of-way and the documents creating the right-of-way. Weld County maintains this section of road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified, it shall be dedicated. Existing Access: There are two existing accesses to the western portion of the proposed USR west of the Beebe Seep Canal and the applicant is asking for one additional access. —aff Clarification: There is an existing access west of the Beebe Seep Canal and road associated with the Canal .,mpany. If so, this existing access may remain and labeled as an agricultural/ditch access. Is the nursery site going to deal with retail type sales where the general public will purchase nursery products, which is fertilizer, landscaping materials, etc.? REQUIREMENTS: Access: The Weld County Public Works Department recommends utilizing one main access to the office/sales complex. This access point should accommodate two-way traffic of all type vehicles with adequate turning radiuses that utilize the facility Plat Drawing: The applicant needs to place on the plat drawing parking spaces to accommodate the 35 to 45 employees mentioned in the application. The parking and loading areas need to be identified for customers utilizing the facility. If a new access point is chosen, the existing access on the west side of the property should be abandoned thus minimizing direct access to a collector status road. Off-Street Parking/Loading Area: The off-street parking, loading area, and the access drive shall be surfaced with gravel, asphalt, concrete or the equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. Each parking space shall be equipped with wheel guards or curb stops where needed to prevent vehicles from extending beyond the boundaries of the space and from coming into contact with other vehicles, walls, fences or plantings. 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. She applicant must take into consideration storm water capture/quantity and provide accordingly for best management actices. pc: AmUSR-935 M:\PLANNING-DEVELOPMENT REVIEW\USR-Use by Special Review\AmUSR-935-: EXHIBIT 1 09/21/2005 08:23 303-655-2019 CITYBRIGHTON PAGE 02/02 CITY OF la PUS tOPd 22 Mouth 4th Avenues .

SUBJECT USR 09/27/2005 1528 EDMUNDSON LAND County DATE: an OFFing Department E COLORADO cc: SEP 3 0 2005 RECEIVED Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a wholesale nursery operation, selling nursery stock and hardline products. We have no objections to the proposal, however, according to the applicant's submitted materials the 3 bedroom home on the site is currently rented and will be for some time in the future. The well water for the home is designated as domestic. It is our understanding that this home will either be demolished and an office constructed in its place or renovated into an office structure. It is at that time that the applicant's intend to provide proof that a commercial well permit has been issued. Environmental Health Services does not know how far in the future this change will occur or a method to track future changes of the well's designation. Therefore, EHS is recommending that the well be designated as commercial prior to recording the plat. We recommend that the following requirements be met prior to allowing the plat to be recorded: 1. The applicant shall submit a dust abatement plan for review and approval, to the Environmental Health Services, Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment. 2. The applicant shall submit evidence to the Department of Planning Services, from the Colorado Division of Water Resources, demonstrating that the well(s) are appropriately permitted for the commercial use. 3. In the event the facility's water system serves more 25 persons on a daily basis the water system shall comply with the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations (5 CCR 1003-1). Evidence shall be provided to the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment that the system complies with the Regulations. EXHIBIT 4. The applicant shall submit a waste handling plan, for approval, to the Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment. The plan shall include at a minimum, the following: 1) A list of wastes which are expected to be generated on site (this should include expected volumes and types of waste generated). 2) A list of the type and volume of chemicals expected to be stored on site. 3) The waste handler and facility where the waste will be disposed (including the facility name, address, and phone number). We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as conditions that must be met one month prior to construction activities: 1. A stormwater discharge permit may be required for a development/redevelopment/construction site where a contiguous or non- contiguous land disturbance is greater than or equal to one acre in area. Contact the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment at www.cdphe.state.co.us/wq/PermitsUnit for more information. We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as conditions that must be met prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy: 1. If the home is demolished and a new office is constructed an individual sewage disposal system is required for the proposed facility and shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations. 2. The septic system is required to be designed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations. OR 3. If the home is converted to an office and the applicant's consider using the existing septic system for the office they are required to have the systembe reviewed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer. The review shall consist of observation of the system and a technical review describing the systems ability to handle the proposed hydraulic load. The review shall be submitted to the Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County 2 -- Department of Public Health and Environment. In the event the system is found to be inadequately sized or constructed the system shall be brought into compliance with current Regulations.
