USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION
of Henry J. and Marjorie L. Rickers
The proposed use of the land designated in this Site Specific Development Plan is for a
landscaping materials yard and fabrication shop. This yard will serve traffic off 1-25 and
surrounding cities and towns.
The development of Weld County and surrounding areas makes it evident that an add-
itional landscaping yard would be convenient by making a one stop trip for all of their land-
scaping needs.
The surrounding land is used mainly for agricultural, residential, and commercial
purposes. The land to the east of 1-25 has a facility for trailer sales.
The nearest reisdential structure is approximately 600 feet away. This house is owned
and occupied by the owner of the land, the applicant. There is a residential structure owned by
the son of the applicant located approximately 750 feet away. Residential homes not owned by
the applicant or his family are approximately 1/2 mile away.
The proposed landscaping yard would accomodate approximately fifty to one hundred
customers per day during the March thru November season, weather permitting. These numbers
can only be estimated.
The hours of operation would be from 7a.m.to 6p.m. daily, being one eleven hour shift.
The numbers of employees could range from ten to thirty depending on our increased needs,
assuring the safety and satisfaction of our customers.
The access route to the site would be off 1-25 and Weld County Road 8 down the existing
southwest frontage road,which leads straight to the parking lot. This is a paved frontage road
which dead-ends at the south border of applicant's property, and is used primarily by applicant
and occasionally by oil field employees. The type of vehicular traffic would be semi-trucks and
pick-ups.
There is currently an existing 30'x 40'shop, which will be used as an office and
temporary fabrication shop. There is a restroom available to employees and our customers in our
shop.
In our future plans there will be one 100'x 200' mechanics and fabrication shop, also one
60'x 100'equipment shop to store equiment including but not limited to loaders, stone cutters,
and saws.
Finally, there is also a proposed home site in which the resident would be our yard
manager.
There is expected to be one dog on this site. This dog would be fenced away from
customers during business hours.
The landscaping yard would consist of pick-up trucks, loaders, semi-trucks, and tandem
axle trucks. These vehicles will be accessing this yard on a daily basis, providing materials and
being used by our customers purchasing and hauling their goods. The weight of these behicles
will vary from 3,0001bs up to 85,000lbs, being the legal weight limit on a loaded eighteen wheeler.
Fire protection measures would consist of strict compliance with all regulations, including
the placment of smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the office. The site is protected by the
Mountain View Fire Protection Distict, with the nearest fire station being situated in Erie,five miles
to the west.Sufficient entrance and exit access will be provided for rescue and fire vehicles.
The applicant owns a water tap from Left Hand Water District. Applicant has ran a water
line from the tap at his residence to the site. This water will be available for bathrooms and
portable drinking water. A septic system complying with Weld County Health Department
regulations are currently constructed to dispose of sewer from the bathrooms. There is also
currently an independent water tap for the sole purpose of the business thru Left Hand Water
District. The location of the septic system and leach field is shown on the USR Plan map.
As explained, storage would consist of vehicles such as trucks, loaders, and other equip-
ment to keep protected from the weather. Some machines may also be stored such as stone
cutters and saws to also be protected from weather and kept away from customers for safety
reasons.
Landscaping will consist of trees along east side of property line. Also, as explained on
USR map there will be a waterfall and landscaping display with samples of available materials to
purchase.
There will be very little reclamation required upon cessation of the Use by Special Review
area, if such cessation occurs. The land required for the yard can easily be converted back to its
original state (growing grass). The office can either be torn down or converted to a storage shed,
for example.
Applicant hopes to begin construction of landscaping yard in early 2001,with an
anticipated opening date in the spring of 2001. Future plans for expansion could be completed
within two to five years. Landscaping would likely begin up to three months after opening and be
completed within a year.
There will be one 5'x 7'foot trash dumpster located in the area by the office for trash
collection. The trash will consist mainly of debris from the daily duties of office operation.
Occasionally,there will be some lumber and other landscaping debris to be included. The trash
will be collected from the dumpster weekly.
Supporting Statements
"The urban growth boundaries and the 1-25 mixed use development corridor are the
areas inteneded to acommodate commercial development." (page 38,Weld County
Comprehensive Plan). Applicant believes that the landscaping yard complies with the
commercial uses intended for the 1-25 mixed use development corridor, in which this site lies.
The landscaping yard is anticipated to use approximately 19.8 acres of the applicant's
land. The majority of the applicant's land will coninue to be used for agricultural purposes
(growing grass).
Applicant believes that the landscaping yard will be compatible with the existing
surrounding land uses, which are agricultural, residential, and commercial. The land to the east
of the site across 1-25 has a facility for trailer sales. The applicant and his son's family own
residences on the land. The land immediately to the north, south, and west of the land is used for
222
The site is not located in a 100 year flood plain or Weld County Airport overlay district.
the site is located in a geologic hazard, caused by underground coal mining done in the area in
the 1950's. However, according to Jeffrey L. Hynes, Senior Engineering Geologis for the
colorado Geological Survey,the mining was done 400 feet below the surface of the earth, and
there is very little chance of future subsidence in the area which would cause damage to any
building constructed on the site.
A copy of the Warranty Deed dated February 23, 1973 between Margaret Rickers and
Henry Rickers and Henry Rickers and Marjorie L. Rickers is attached showing the legal
ownership of the property under consideration. This Warranty Deed was recorded by the Weld
County Clerk and Recorder at Reception No. 1608857 on March 12, 1973.
Applicant believes that the use of the site for a landscaping yard will comply with the
applicable noise standards. The only additional noise will be from traffic coming down the
frontage road to use the yard (which is comparable to the noise from the highway itself) and the
noise from loaders loading and unloading (which is comparable to the noise of tractors being
used in the field for agricultural purposes).
