CASE NUMBER: USR-1520
APPLICANT: Mike Johnson
PLANNER: Sheri Lockman
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A of RE-3886; Pt of the SE4 of Section 28, T9N,
R66W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
REQUEST: Site Specific Development Plan and Special
Review Permit for a Use Permitted as a Use by Right, an
Accessory Use or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or
Industrial Zone District (storage units) in the A(Agricultural)Zone
District
LOCATION: North of and adjacent to CR 100; east of and adjacent to CR 29
1/2.
Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning Services presented Case USR-1520, reading the
recommendation and comments into the record. The Department of Planning Services is
recommending approval of the application along with the Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards.
Michael Miller asked if this site was adjacent to the city limits. Ms. Lockman stated it was on two
sides but there is no IGA with the Town of Nunn but the applicant can be asked rather he has
been in contact with them.
Erich Ehrlich asked if the access was off CR 100 and rather the traffic was in a horse shoe
configuration. Mr. Carroll stated it was an in and out off of CR 100 as the main access point.
Chad Auer asked if there were any objecting homeowners in area. Ms. Lockman stated there
were and they are present.
Jackie Johnson, representative for the applicant, provided additional clarification on the project
and is available for questions.
Michael Miller asked if there was any consideration into annexing into Nunn. Ms Johnson stated
the applicant has researched the idea and there is no reason to do so but will when water
becomes available. There is nothing advantageous to annexing at this time.
Tom Holton asked if for clarification on the units. Ms. Johnson stated there will be separate units.
The Chair asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this
application.
Tina & Ryan Wardlow, neighbor to east, indicated their concerns with the property taxes and
resale value of the homes in area. There is also a concern what kind of items will be stored on
site. Will there be storage sheds with RV's, boats and other equipment. There is also a question
on the lighting of the area. Ms. Wardlow is concerned with the loss of her view of the mountains.
Mr. Wardlow added that there have been businesses in the area that have not been successful.
The question is what happens if this is not successful and what will be left on site. Traffic is a
concern and there should be dust abatement on CR 100. The neighbors do not want this site to
become a site for additional crime, meth labs or any security risk since there is no police in the
area. This seems to be more of an opportunity to store junk in the area. This does not seem
advantageous to Nunn since there are storage units going out of business in Pierce. The
Wardlows would also like to see the posted speed limit decrease and there be a security fence
around the site. Another concern is the debris blowing off the site.
Kim Jennings, neighbor indicated she has the same concerns as the adjacent neighbors. Ms.
Jennings has small children and the traffic is bad enough. CR 29 is owned by railroad so she is
not sure what that will do to the application. CR 100 is a washboard and this is not a good
moan.
I
location for a business of this type.
Jackie Johnson added that the applicant will have a home on the property adjacent to this so the
area will be maintained. Many of the concerns have been addressed in the Development
Standard or Conditions of Approval. The applicant does not anticipate high volume. The
landscaping, traffic pattern and other concerns have been addressed by the staff.
Bruce Fitzgerald asked about the traffic flow based on units. Ms. Johnson stated there will be
150 units in three buildings. Mr. Fitzgerald asked about the number of trips anticipated in a
month. Ms. Johnson indicated she was not aware of any studies. Mike Johnson, applicant
indicated he does not know the number of trips per day. The average trips maybe five cars a day
at the most. The units will be fenced with lights on the buildings alone. The gate will be locked
since this will not be open 24 hours a day. The operation has specific hours that will be adhered
to. There will be someone on site at all times.
Michael Miller asked if there was electricity in the units. Mr. Johnson stated there was outside
electricity but the units will not have electricity. Mr. Johnson added there will be no outside
storage.
Chad Auer asked if Nunn was contacted regarding annexation. Mr. Johnson went to a meeting
and it would take $40,000 to extend water and sewer lines to the area. He will be more than
willing to annex once the water lines become available. There was no benefit to annex at this
time.
Michael Miller asked Ms. Lockman about law enforcement. Ms. Lockman stated the Weld County
Sheriff Department services the area.
Tom Holton asked if there were two lots. Mr. Johnson indicated there was a north and south lot.
His home will be on the north lot and the storage units will be on the south.
Bruce Fitzgerald asked about CR 29 %, Mr. Carroll stated this is not open nor is it maintained by
Weld County. The County maintains CR 100 and CR 31. Mr. Fitzgerald asked if there was a
traffic study. Mr. Carroll stated there are 700-900 vehicle trips that go west on CR 100 but there
has been no study for the eastbound traffic. Mr. Fitzgerald asked about dust abatement. Mr.
Carroll stated there was no dust abatement but it could be warranted. Typically the County asks
for 300 feet for magnesium chloride from the entrance. . Counts versus impacts- Planning
Commission could warrant dust control of 300 feet.
Michael Miller asked about the lighting for security purposes. Ms. Lockman stated the Sheriff
Department would do a walk through for security check. This can be done before the site is
opened up which is good for security. Mr. Miller stated that there is no lighting in the drive, gate
or parking area. Mr. Fitzgerald asked about fencing. Ms. Lockman stated this would be clarified
before the Board of County Commissioners so it could be reviewed.
Char Davis added she would like to remove Development Standard #8. Mr. Miller asked for the
reasoning on this removal. Ms. Lockman stated there will be screened trash areas. This
Development Standard is addressing hazardous chemicals.
Michael Miller moved to delete Development Standard #8. Chad Auer seconded. Motion carried.
Bruce Fitzgerald asked about the lighting. Mr. Johnson stated there will be lighting at the gate
and the parking area. They are both approximately 35 feet from the residence. The gate will be
locked and it will be a chain link fence. The gate may be an automatic gate with the electricity
shut off at a certain time.
Mike Johnson agrees with the Development Standard and conditions.
Michael Miller stated that the economics of the business is not something the Planning
Commission can review. They must review the land use only.
Tom Holton asked if dust control would be needed on CR 100. Mr. Carroll stated there could be
language added to the standards.
Bruce Fitzgerald asked about the trips per day. Mr. Carroll stated there are no specific studies for
this type of operation but 10-20 would be significant at this location.
Lee Morrison asked if there was an impact fee for this type of storage. Ms. Lockman stated that
mini warehouses are assed at $333 per 1000 square feet. Mr. Carroll added the warehousing is
calculated at 1.9 trips per day per unit. Mr. Miller would like to see dust control at least to the
gate.
Don Carroll added that language could be added consisting of the following "the applicant shall
apply dust control chemical (Magnesium Chloride or Calcium Chloride) on Weld County road 100
haul route between the railroad and the main entrance no less than twice a year or as needed, as
directed by the Department of Public Works." Ms. Lockman suggests this be Development
Standard #5 and renumber.
Michael Miller moved to add the prior Development Standard#5. Roy Spitzer seconded.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision.
Roy Spitzer, yes; Erich Ehrlich, yes; Michael Miller, yes; Chad Auer, yes; Tom Holton, yes, Bruce
Fitzgerald, yes. Motion carried unanimously
Michael Miller asked Ms. Davis about the restroom facilities. Ms. Davis indicated the application
stated there will be restrooms in the office.
Mike Johnson agrees with the amended Development Standard and Conditions.
Michael Miller moved that Case USR-1520, be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners
along with the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards with the Planning
Commissions recommendation of approval. Chad Auer seconded the motion.
The Chair asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision.
