CASE NUMBER: USR-1457
PROJECT: Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit
PLANNER: Jacqueline Hatch
NRCS REPESENTATIVE: Gene Backhaus,Acting District Conservationist
In consultation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), we have reviewed the above
referenced case and have the following comments:
SOILS/LIMITATIONS: The proposed building parcel contains Dacono clay loam(21). For dwelling
foundations with or without basements,Dacono soil has moderate limitations due to its shrink-swell
potential and may require special engineering design.
For sanitary septic system absorption fields, the Dacono soil has severe limitations due to its slow
percolation rate; these types of structures in this soil may require special engineering design.
PRIME FARMLANDS: When irrigated, the Dacono soil is considered `prime farmland'.
SOIL EROSION POTENTIAL: The Dacono soil has moderate potential for wind erosion and should
be protected. Appropriate measures should be taken to minimize wind soil erosion during future
construction activities, such as avoiding disturbances to large areas and preventing soils from moving
offsite. It is recommended that, at the conclusion of construction activities, disturbed areas be stabilized
with perennial vegetation, gravel or asphalt. The NRCS can be contacted for more information on grasses
suitable for the site and instructions for planting.
OTHER: When areas are disturbed, weed infestation can become a problem. Should this occur,the
applicant can contact Ron Broda,Vegetation Weed Management Specialist with the Weld County Public
Works Department at(970)356-4000 X 3770 to assist in developing a weed management plan.
The District welcomes the opportunity to review and comment on proposals such as this. Conservation
and wise use of our natural resources are foremost in our goals. We look forward to working with you in
the future. If you or the applicant should have any questions,please feel free to contact the NRCS
representative at 303-659-7004.
Sincerely,
District Board of Supervisors

C FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator it
111 � SUBJECT: USR-1457, Mike Whistance and Tony Dowdy
COLORADO
The Weld County Public Works 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:
Access: The applicant has indicated on the plat drawing the access will be from US Highway 85 on to WCR 20.
WCR 20 is designated as a local gravel road which has a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld
County. Pursuant to the definition of SETBACK in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article Ill, Section 23-3-50,
the required setback measured from the future right-of-way line.
WCR 20 has an average daily traffic count of approximately 68 vehicles taken in a 24-hour period on 10/10/2002.
KEQUIREMENTS:
Access: The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all access to the state
highway including frontage roads. Please contact Gloria Hice-Idler or Tess Jones at the Greeley office to verify
the access permit or for any additional requirements that may be needed to obtain or upgrade the permit. US
Highway 85 Access Corridor Plan identifies the intersection of US Highway 85 and WCR 20 (MP245.19) as a
public road unsignalized intersection (PRU) as a type of highway access with full movement, at grade, stop
condition intersection.
Scenario 1: The public road unsignalized intersections with adequate intersection angle (PRU 1). All
acceleration/deceleration lanes, with exception of left turn acceleration lanes will be improved to meet design
requirements and standards. US Highway 85 Access Corridor Plan identifies this intersection as a left and right
movement.
Proposed Access: The proposed entrance and access to RE-1309 and RE-1039 shall be a shared access
point from WCR 20. This access point shall be placed in such a location that there is adequate sight distance in
both directions and not below the crest of a hill. This access point shall be surfaced with recycled asphalt to keep
the dust control to a minimum.
If a drainage culvert is required, a 15-inch corrugated metal pipe is the County's minimum size requirement.
Off-Street Parking/Display Parking: The off-street parking, display parking, and the access drive shall be
surfaced with recycled asphalt, gravel, or the equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems.

Page 2
Each parking space shall be equipment with a wheel guard or a curb stop where needed to prevent vehicles from
extending beyond the boundaries of the spaces and from coming into contact with other vehicles, walls, fences, or
plantings.
The parking lot shall conform to all standards of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
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-1457 M:\PLANNING\USR-10
Change of Land Use
• Future land development (different land use) ill t change these principles. If
access to the local road system is available, tsting direct private property
access(es) to US 85 will be closed. If access to the local road system is not
possible, a RIRO will be allowed with deceleration and acceleration lanes as
required according to the guidelines in the State Highway Access Code.
5. Any proposed access change or addition not identified in this Exhibit will require that
an amendment request be processed as described in Exhibit C.
POTENTIAL ACCESS MODIFICATIONS _.
6. There are a number of existing access conditions on US 85 which will be modified with
similar improvements in the future. Instead of providing a full description for each
access point, the following descriptions summarize this typical information and are 4C
referenced later in the individual access point discussions (Section 7).
Public Road Unsignalized Intersection (PRU)
These types of highway accesses are full movement, at-grade, stop-controlled
intersections. Public roads along the corridor include state highways, county roads and
city streets. Most unsignalized public road intersections have at least one acceleration
and/or deceleration lane, but typically these accel/decel lanes do not meet the State
Highway Access Code standards. These highway accesses will be modified according
e-^ to the following scenarios:
• Scenario 1. Public Road Unsignalized Intersections with adequate intersection
angle (PRU1). Unsignalized public roads of this scenario intersect US 85 at a 75
degree or greater angle. All acceleration /deceleration lanes, with the exception
of left turn acceleration lanes, will be improved to meet the design requirements
and standards of the Department. Signalization of these accesses will not be
allowed, and if signal warrants are met (as stated in the latest edition of the �I
Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices, U.S. Department of Transportation,
Federal Highway Administration) or if the intersection develops an accident
history (defined as five preventable accidents in one year) that is correctable by
restricting access, the intersection will be modified to a 3/4 (no left turn or
through traffic from the side street) or right-in/right-out only (RIRO) access
point.

Attention: Jacqueline Hatch
1555 N. 17th Avenue
Greeley, Colorado 80631
Subject: USR-1457 Referral Comments
Country Truck and Auto LLC
Dear Ms. Hatch:
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment upon the proposed Use by Special
Review for Country Truck and Auto LLC. The Fort Lupton Planning Commission met
on January 13, 2004 and reviewed the application. As a result of that review, we offer
the following comments and concerns.
1. The subject site is within the Municipal Referral Area as defined by the Coordinated
Planning Agreement between the City and County. Section 3.2 of the Agreement states:
" To the extent legally possible the County will disapprove proposals for Urban
Development in areas of the Municipal Referral Area outside the Urban Growth Area."
It is the opinion of the Fort Lupton Planning Commission that the proposed development
may be urban in nature and therefore the Use by Special Review should be scrutinized for
compliance with the IGA.
The applicant proposes a significant investment in the property in terms of a 3,000 square
foot building, parking, street improvements, lighting and landscaping. When the site no
longer meets the needs of the business, the owner will be looking to expand or relocate
and secure a return on the initial investment. Recent experience (Formby Ford/La
Maravilla) tells us that this type of use and future uses of the building truly require urban
services such as police and fire (water) protection, and sewer service. In addition, the
subject site will require safe access to and from Highway 85 as the business grows. The
Commission believes that this type of use is precisely what Section 3.2 of the
Coordinated Planning Agreement is intended to address.

USR-1457
Planning Commission Comments

2. The US Highway 85 Access Plan, adopted by Fort Lupton and Weld County, indicates
that the intersection of 85 and WCR 20 does not currently meet State Highway Access
Code Standards for design and safety (pg. 40 par. 1). Significant improvements need to
be made to the auxiliary lanes at this intersection. The City of Fort Lupton defers to the
Colorado Department of Transportation for recommendations regarding specific
improvements; however, the City is concerned about the safety of this un-signalized
intersection.
It is important to note that the intersection improvements listed in the Plan are necessary
even if the area remains in agricultural use and is not converted to commercial activities
such as those proposed by the applicant. The introduction of additional commercial
activity at this intersection will accelerate the need for safety improvements. Given that
the Plan did not anticipate significant development at this intersection, funding for the
improvements was listed as a medium priority. This means that it will be many years
before State funding is available.
It is the position of the For Lupton Planning Commission that the development should not
precede the intersection improvements. Therefore if the applicant desires to develop the
site, the applicant should also be responsible for intersection improvements to Highway
85 and WCR 20; and, paving of Weld County Road 20 along the entire frontage of the
site; and, paving of the frontage road.
r�
3. The site plan indicates by a note that there will be 30 feet of right-of-way, measured
from the section line, for WCR 20; however, the plan conflicts with the note by showing
the lot boundary extending to the center of the road. If this is an oversight, the
Commission recommends it be corrected. If not, the Commission suggests that a
minimum of 30 feet of right-of-way be dedicated to the County. A distance of 40-60 feet
from the section line is typically needed in urbanized areas.
4. The notes are inconsistent and conflict with other information on the plans and in the
application materials. The Commission recommends that all notes referencing temporary
mobile homes, mobile offices and portable restrooms be removed. The City would not
support the location of any of these uses on the property.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment upon this development proposal. Do not
hesitate to contact the Fort Lupton Planning and Building Department if you have further
questions.
