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: A Site -Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for an event facility (not agriculture -related) for up to 200 people located outside of a subdivision and/or historic townsite in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This project is north of CR 74 and is east of and adjacent to SH 392. Parcel numbers: 071325000019. Access is onto SH 392. ACCESS Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access. The applicant has proposed access onto SH 392. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to state highways. Please contact Mr. Tim Bilobran at the Greeley office (970-350-2163) to verify the access permit or for any additional requirements that may be needed. (State Highway 392) ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY The property is bounded by State Highway 392. Contact the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to determine what right-of-way shall be shown on the submitted map. Reference the documents creating the right-of-way. Please contact Mr. Tim Bilobran at the Greeley office, phone number: 970-350- 2163. The property appears to include section line right-of-way for an unmaintained portion of CR 73 and appears to be bounded on the south by section line right-of-way for an unmaintained portion of CR 76. Section line right-of-way does not exist in all sections in Weld County and should be verified before a decision to utilize it is made. Weld County commonly refers to these locations as "Non -Maintained Section Line Right -of - Way." The existence of a physical road does not imply public right-of-way and the road may be located on private property. All right-of-way should be verified and physical roads located in relationship to the public right-of-way to ensure trespassing does not occur. The applicant shall verify the existing right-of-way and the documents creating the right-of-way and this information shall be noted on the plat. The applicant shall delineate on the plat the existing right-of-way and physical location of existing or proposed roads. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated or an adequate easement between property owners shall be provided. 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 the physical roadway(s) may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is NOT 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 The applicant submitted a preliminary Traffic Narrative with its application materials. The Narrative was forwarded to CDOT. A final traffic report shall be submitted. 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. Detention Pond summarized in a Drainage Report: The applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage report. A final drainage report and detention pond design completed by a Colorado Licensed Professional Engineer is required prior to recording the USR map. The drainage report must include a certification of compliance stamped and signed by the PE. A Certification of Compliance form can be found on the Public Works Development Review website. General drainage report checklist is available on the engineering website. More complete checklists are available upon request. Historic Flows: The applicants will be required to maintain the historic drainage flows and run-off amounts that exist from the property. GRADING PERMIT A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications are accepted after the planning process is complete (plan recorded).

Staff has completed review of the proposal and have no conflicts with the proposed activity. We have included additional comments below: 1. There are no active or proposed 1041 WOGLA Permits on the associated parcel. There are several oil and gas well sites in the area surrounding the parcel, none directly on the associated parcel. 2. The USR lands may include additional oil and gas related infrastructure, such as off -location flowlines or pipeline which are a use by right and not regulated by Weld County. OGED requests that the applicant reviews flowline data available from the COGCC map viewer and utilize Colorado 811 prior to any excavation activities. This determination is based upon the review of the application materials submitted by the applicant and other relevant information available on the E -Permit site. Hello
