COLORADO STAFF SUMMARY
Case Number: 2nd Am USR-972
Applicant: Laidlaw Waste Systems (Colorado) Inc.
Request: Site Specific Development Plan, 2nd Amended Special Review permit and
amended Certificate of Designation for addition of composting and recycling facilities,
perimeter berm, relocation of sediment basin and revision to Cell C for an existing solid
waste disposal site
Legal Description of Property: Part of Section 29, Ti N, R68W
Location: South and adjacent to Weld County Road 6; west of Weld County Road 5
Zone District: A (Agricultural)
Parcel Size: 300 acres, more or less
Water Supply: Well and cistern will supply additional water as needed for composting
facility
Access: Weld County Road 6, a local road paved from public entrance of disposal site
east to Weld County Road 5, a paved collector. This stretch of Weld County Road 6
has been annexed into the Town of Erie.
Referral Responses: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and
Weld County Health and Public Works Departments offered specific recommendations
which have been incorporated into the amended Special Review permit conditions of
approval and/or development standards. The Town of Erie expressed health-related
concerns which have been reviewed by the Planning and Health Departments and also
addressed in writing by the applicant.
Comments: Waste disposal activities have been existing on this site since 1979 when
the use was originally permitted under SUP-400. The Special Review permit has been
amended twice since that date to accommodate the need for expansion and
improvements to the landfill. The majority of the development standards associated
with this amendment are derived from Laidlaw's preceding Special Review permit, AM
USR-972, which was approved in November, 1993.

CASE NUMBER: 2nd Amended USR-972
NAME: Laidlaw Waste Systems (Colorado) Inc.
ADDRESS: P.O. Box 320, Erie, CO 80516
REQUEST: Site Specific Development Plan, 2nd Amended Special Review permit and amended
Certificate of Designation for addition of composting and recycling facilities, perimeter berm,
relocation of sediment basin and revision to Cell C for an existing solid waste disposal site
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of Section 29, TIN,R68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado
LOCATION: South and adjacent to Weld County Road 6; west of Weld County Road 5
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS
REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 24.7
of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Sections 24.3 and 45.4 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended,
as follows:
a. Section 24.3.1.1 -- That the proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive
Plan. This proposal is consistent with Environmental Quality goal 3 which states,
"solid waste facilities shall be planned, located, designed and operated so that they are
compatible with surrounding land uses in terms of: general use, scale, height, traffic,
dust, noise, and visual pollution." The property has been permitted for use as a solid
waste disposal site since 1979 and does appear to meet the standards of goal 3.
Environmental Quality policy 9 states that operational and reclamation plans for solid
waste disposal facilities shall be subject to conditions imposed by the County to
minimize or eliminate potential adverse impact of the operation on surrounding
properties. Under amended USR-972, the facility is subject to compliance with nine
(9) conditions of approval and 38 development standards.
This proposal is consistent with Urban Growth Boundary Policy 2 which states, " land
use development proposals within an urban growth boundary area will be determined
according to the procedure set forth in an intergovernmental agreement between the
County and the municipality."An intergovernmental agreement regarding solid waste
disposal sites has been established between Weld County and the Town of Erie. In
EXHIBIT accordance with the Agreement,the Town has reviewed the Special Review request and
1 .j 962358
2nd Am USR-972, Laidlaw Waste Systems (CO) Inc.
page two
presented comments to staff. The applicant has provided a written response addressing
the Town of Erie's concerns. The State and County Health Departments have examined
the proposed amendments to the existing facility; their recommendations have been
incorporated in the conditions of approval and development standards associated with
the amended Special Review permit.
b. Section 24.3.1.2 -- That the proposal is consistent with the intent of the district in which
the use is located. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the Agricultural zone
district and is provided for as a Use by Special Review under Section 31.4.9 of the
Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended. Agricultural goal 2 does "allow
commercial and industrial uses which are directly related to agriculture to locate within
Agricultural zoning when the impact to surrounding properties is minimal, and where
adequate services and infrastructure are available."
c. Section 24.3.1.3 -- That the uses which would be permitted will be compatible with the
existing land uses. The existing, approved landfill on this 300-acre site is well kept and
appears to be compatible with the immediate surrounding area, which consists of open
agricultural ground, an existing landfill, two reclaimed landfills and oil and gas uses.
Neighboring residences, located south and southwest, are 1/2 mile or more from the
site.
d. Section 24.3.1.4 -- That the uses which would be permitted will be compatible with
future development of the surrounding area as permitted by the existing zoning and
with future development as projected by the comprehensive plan or master plans of
affected municipalities. The Town of Erie has annexed land to the north and west
boundaries of this property. Future residential development to the west has been
considered by the applicant in its proposal to fence the sediment control structure and
compost pad while under construction. Conditions of approval and development
standards associated with the amended Special Review permit further address safety
and health issues.
e. Section 24.3.1.5 -- That the application complies with the Weld County Zoning
Ordinance, Section 50, Overlay District Regulations if the proposal is located with the
Overlay District Areas identified by maps officially adopted by Weld County. The site
is located in the Geological Hazard Overlay District. Amended Special Review permit
development standard #32 addresses compliance with overlay district requirements.
f. Section 24.3.1.6 -- That if the use is proposed to be located in the A(Agricultural) zone
district, that the applicant has demonstrated a diligent effort has been made to conserve
productive agricultural land in the locational decision for the proposed use. The
landfill facility is an existing use;the areas included in the proposal for amendment are
presently not used for agricultural production.
g. Section 24.3.1.7 -- That there is adequate provision for the protection of the health,
962358

page three
safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and county. Conditions of
approval and development standards associated with this amended Special Review
permit safeguard the health and welfare of the surrounding area and the county.

applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities.

permit & amended Certificate of Designation
Legal Description Part of Section 29, TIN, R68W
Location South & adjacent to Weld County Road 6; west of Weld
County Road 5
Zoning Land Use
N A(Agricultural), N Weld County Road 6, vacant agricultural
Town of Erie ground, auto salvage business
E A (Agricultural) E Old Pratt landfill used for agricultural production,
Weld County Road 5
S A (Agricultural) S Oil & gas structures, vacant agricultural ground,
residence (1/2 mile away or more)
W A (Agricultural), W Agricultural production
Town of Erie
Unsafe Conditions: There were none observed on the site
Comments: The existing access to the site is to Weld County Road 6, which is paved
from the intersection of Weld County Road 5 west to the public entrance of the landfill.
In looking at compatibility issues with surrounding land uses, all adjacent areas are open
agricultural areas used for farming, oil and gas structures or vacant areas (open space).
Erie Airpart Estates is located approximately '/4 mile to the southwest of the southwest
corner of the property, used for soil stockpiling. Due to the topography of the area and
the routing of traffic north and east of the landfill, existing and proposed activities on the
site have virtually no effect on this residential area. The property appeared to be very
well kept on the day of inspection.
