ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
S-380, Tri-City Ventures, L.L.C.
The applicant is requesting a 40 foot right-of-way for each of the two interior streets of this
minor subdivision, rather than the 60 feet which is the usual standard for county streets.
According to Section 10.1 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance, all subdivisions
except minor subdivisions must comply with the design standards, including road
specifications, set forth in this section.. In response to a letter regarding this matter from
Art Urich of Nelson Engineers, former Director of the Department of Planning Services
Chuck Cunliffe verbally indicated that the 40 foot right-of-way streets as requested would
be acceptable. The Department of Public Works has no objection to the reduced right-of-
way width.
