GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Event
Facilities (not agriculture -related) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone
District.
Parcel number: 146921000074 and 146916000056: Parcel B of AMRE-936.
Access is onto CR 8 - AP22-00128 Residential.
ACCESS
Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access.
There is an existing permitted access point onto CR 8 — AP22-00128 Residential. The applicant shall revise
the access permit from "Residential" to "Commercial." This may involve an upgrade to the access to meet
design and safety criteria in Chapter 8 of the Code.
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 8 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a local road, which requires 60 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, Sec. 8-13-30.B, 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/departments/publicworks/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
There are no recent traffic counts for this portion of CR 8.
The applicant submitted a Final Traffic Letter stating that there will be a maximum of 260 passenger vehicle
trips per event with 85% traveling east on CR 8 and 15% traveling west on CR 8.
No other 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 road base or road base on all driving surfaces
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH UP -FRONT IMPROVEMENTS
Development Review is requesting an Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement for dust control,
damage repairs to specified travel routes, triggered off -site improvements, and up -front improvements. The
Agreement shall include the requirement for the submission of an acceptable traffic management plan to
direct exiting traffic to CR 8 east to CR 19.
Upfront improvements of CR 8 shall extend from 100 feet west of the access to the intersection of CR 8
and CR 19. Additionally, the finished road surface shall match the existing driveways.
The up -front improvements shall include but not be limited to:
• Widen CR 8 as necessary to meet the 26 -foot -wide criteria as specified in the Code;

Re: USR23-0025 Applicant: Sandra Strobel
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site Specific Development Plan and
Use by Special Review Permit for Event Facilities (not agriculture -related) outside of subdivisions and
historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
The patrons must have access to potable water, restrooms, and hand washing facilities. The
residence is served by an on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) which is sized for 3
bedrooms (F19790026) and water is supplied by a domestic well (86911-F). The well is permitted for
residential and commercial uses. The applicant is proposing to use portable toilets for the public until
a commercial OWTS is installed. Portable toilets are acceptable for recreational facilities that are
utilized 6 months or less per year in accordance with EH policy. If the events exceed 6 months, then
a permanent water source and an OWTS must be installed to provide for business use.
Waste and recycling bins will be provided for every event. Waste will be stored in a dumpster and will
be emptied on a weekly schedule.
Dust abatement will be provided by utilizing recycled asphalt on driveways and parking areas and
adding a dust suppressant as necessary.
Noise is restricted to the residential limit and is measured 25 feet from the property line. A noise
study was conducted by the applicant. The study included 7 monitoring points around the property,
and all indicated a noise level less than the residential level without mitigation.
All food vendors, which includes food trucks, and catering must adhere to the Colorado Retail Food
Establishment Rules and Regulations. If a commercial kitchen is added in the future, licensing and
plan review is required through Environmental Health Services.
