Notification of all surrounding property owners has occurred and the public notification has been republished
and this case is being heard again by direction from the Board of County Commissioners.
Staff determined that this trash collection business is compatible with other uses in the area. Gloria stated
the use by Special Review Permit does not meet the criteria of a home business because the majority of
home businesses are conducted within the residence or an accessory building. Gloria Dunn explained this
property is one-half acre in size. The access to the property is from an 18 foot easement from East 16th
Street.
Referral responses have been received from the Health Department and the Development Standards address

be stored on site or in trucks at any time;#28 The spray painting of the trash trucks and trash dumpsters shall
not be allowed on site.
Discussion followed and it was determined that Development Standard #27 was repetitive and should be
deleted, but Development Standard #28 should be incorporated and subsequent renumbering.
Shirley Camenisch did have concerns regarding the allowance of spray painting on site. Gloria Dunn
explained the health hazards of airborne chemicals. Gloria stated the applicants only do touch up spraying.
The Weld County Health Department would require spray painting only inside an enclosed area, but the
applicants would need to meet the Weld County Building Code requirements if this was allowed.
Mr. Keith McIntyre, Attorney for the applicants, asked Gloria Dunn if the spray painting of the trash trucks
meant no touching up as well. Gloria Dunn stated that no touch-up spray painting would be allowed. Mr.
McIntyre requested to remove Development Standard#10, as the planning commission had voted at the first
hearing.
