Staff comments made during this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues may arise during the remaining application process. COMMENTS GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION Project description: Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review for Oil and Gas Support and Service, including a 3,750 SF storage and equipment maintenance building for company vehicles only, screened outdoor storage of company vehicles, company equipment and materials associated with oil and gas operations and one double walled fueling station, outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This project is north of and adjacent to CR 86 and is west of CR 41. Parcel numbers: 055132400052 Lot A RECX15-0001. Access is proposed onto CR 86. ACCESS Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access. The site has an existing, permitted residential access onto CR 86 (AP15-00048). The applicant shall obtain a new access permit for commercial use and shall upgrade their access point to meet the commercial access standards. Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. We strongly encourage you to discuss your access location with Development Review prior to laying out your site plan. All "preliminarily approved" accesses are subject to change during the access permitting process. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access. ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY County Road 86 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as a collector road, which requires 80 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate on the site map the future and existing right-of-way and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County Code Sec. 23-1-90, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. Per Chapter 8, Article 13, Section 8-13-30, a Weld County Right -of -Way Use Permit is required for any project that will be occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and or encroaching upon, any County rights -of -way or easement. Right -of -Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at https://www.weldgov.com/Government/Departments/Public-Works/Permits Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate existing utilities within the County right-of-way. TRAFFIC A recent traffic count for this portion of CR 86 counted 223 vehicles per day with 25% trucks. The accepted Traffic Impact Analysis stated that there will be 32 daily trips of construction vehicles per weekday. Construction vehicles include drills, excavators, skid steers, semi -trucks with supporting trailers, and pickup trucks. No additional traffic information is needed, at this time. TRACKING CONTROL Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. For access to paved roads, tracking control devices can be double cattle guards with 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft of asphalt. For access to gravel roads, tracking control devices must be either double cattle guards with 100 ft. of road base, or road base on all driving surfaces. Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control is installed ahead of construction activities. Recycled concrete is not allowed in County right-of-way. Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-way is required just prior to entering publicly maintained roadways. A variance request for alternatives to the tracking control requirement can be submitted to Development Review for review and consideration. This site requires double cattle guards and 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft. of asphalt. ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Development Review is requesting a Road Maintenance Agreement including, but not limited to, dust control and damage repair to specified haul routes. Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at: https://www.weldgov.com/Government/Departments/Planning-and-Zoning/Development-Review . It will detail the approved haul routes and include a maintenance agreement for the haul routes. DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS This area IS within a Non -Urbanizing Drainage Area: Non -Urbanizing Drainage Areas typically require detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm falling on the developed site and release of the detained water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site for NON - URBANIZING areas.
