REQUEST: Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for a trash business in

Colorado.
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to East 16th Street, and east of Balsam Avenue
Gloria Dunn explained this property is one-half acre in size. The access to the property has an 18 foot
easement from East 16th Street. The applicants own two trash trucks, they only operate one and use the
other truck for backup purposes. The site is adequately screened for the trucks with a six foot fence.
Operating days are Monday thru Friday.
Gloria stated there is a Special Review Permit for a lawn service business that was approved by the Board
of County Commissioners in 1988. The applicants will be requesting that the Board of County Commissioners
vacate this permit.
Referral responses from the Health Department addressed concerns on odor, noise and disposal of waste.
Public Works requested that off street parking for the trash trucks be identified on the plat and the 18 foot
easement not be obstructed. Concerns submitted by the City of Greeley regarding screening and suggested
time frame use were addressed by the Department Planning Services to the Planning Commission.
Staff have received two objections and three letters in favor of the requested use from surrounding property
owners.
The Department Planning Services is recommending approval of this application with the three Conditions of

Mr. Keith McIntyre, Attorney for the applicants gave an overview of the property and its uses. He explained
they have been in business for eight years, however, previously the trucks were not kept at this site. He
stated they have a clientele of 400 people and have no desire to expand.
Mr. McIntyre had concerns on the time requirements stated in Development Standard#10. He explained that
the applicant, Mr. Reeve leaves the site between 5:30 or 6:00a.m. and picks up in smaller towns first. He felt
the 7:00 a.m. operation of any trash truck running would not apply because Greeley Ordinance#37 applies
to residential areas within the Greeley City limits.
Discussion with Planning Commission members on Development Standard#10 and easement access were
addressed.
Donna Reed, applicant stated the easement off of 16th Street is used to pull in or back in the trash trucks to
the site. They do not block this easement nor 16th Street for any extended period.
Ron Sommer moved that Development Standard#10 be removed from the record. Zachary Allely seconded
the motion.
The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Ron
Sommer-yes; Jack Epple-yes; Marie Koolstra-yes; Shirley Camenisch-yes; Ann Garrison-yes; Arlan Marrs-

Commissions recommendation for approval. Arlan Marrs seconded the motion.
