CASE NUMBER: USR-1332
PROJECT: Site Specific Development Plan and Special Review Permit for Parking of
Vehicles and Equipment in the Agricultural Zone District
PLANNER: Kim Ogle
NRCS REPESENTATIVE: Andrea Leonard, Soil Conservationist
In consultation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS), we have reviewed
the above referenced case and have the following comments:
SOILS/LIMITATIONS: There is no new construction proposed by this application.
However, there are moderate to severe limitations for lawns and landscaping because of
droughty soils.
PRIME FARMLANDS: There is no prime farmland.
SOIL EROSION POTENTIAL: All of the soil covered by this application is extremely
erosive and should be protected. Construction on highly erodible soil should be planned so as
to disturb as little soil as possible and measures should be taken to prevent soil movement
offsite. Any areas that are disturbed should be stabilized with perennial vegetation, gravel, or
pavement once construction is complete.
OTHER: The applicant should contact Ron Broda, Vegetation Weed Management Specialist
with the Weld County Public Works Department at(970) 356-4000 X 3770 to develop a weed
management plan. Also, the applicant should contact the NRCS for information on how to
plant the tree buffer on the west of north sides of the house and shop. The NRCS can assist in
planning the buffer to get the most wind protection from the trees and can provide information
on which species work best in this area.
The District welcomes the opportunity to review and comment on proposals such as this.
Conservation and wise use of out natural resources are foremost in our goals and objectives.
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 303-659-4177.
Sincerely,
District Board of Supervisors 2001-2380

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. Our comments and requirements are as follows:
COMMENTS:
WCR 35 is designated on the Transportation Plan Map as a local paved road,which requires a 60-foot right-of-way
at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. WCR 35 was
upgraded and paved through an Improvement District with Buffalo Ridge Subdivision and the County last year.
WCR 12 is designated on the Transportation Plan Map as a local gravel road,which requires a 60-foot right-of-way
at full build out. There is presently a 60-foot right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
The average daily traffic count for WCR 35 reflects 100 vehicles in a 24-hour period. This count was taken April
25, 1996. We do not have a current count at this location. I would estimate that the count today would be between
200-300 vehicles in a 24-hour period due to the expansion of the subdivision and the location of the composting
facility on WCR 35.
WCR 12 has an average daily traffic count of 83. This was also taken in April of 1996.
REQUIREMENTS:
During the upgrade and paving of WCR 35, the County elevated and placed a culvert at the east entrance to the
proposed USR. Both the east and south access points are incorporated into the circulation of the existing shop
and house area. There is adequate site distance at both entrances. Both access points may be used to
accommodate the facility.
Off-Street Parking:The off-street parking spaces including the access drive shall be surfaced with gravel,asphalt,
concrete, or equivalent and shall be graded to prevent drainage problems. The applicant is proposing the use
of parking semi tractor trailers and light maintenance and repair be done at the shop area.
Storm Water Drainage: I am referring storm water drainage to the Health and Environment Department, as this
deals with motor oils/gasoline type uses.
