An access permit shall be obtained for the existing unpermitted access onto Spruce Drive.
Per Sec. 8-14-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County maintained roadways. We

Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site -Specific Development Plan and
Use by Special Review for Buildings exceeding the Maximum Building Coverage (up to 17.5%) in the
A (Agricultural) Zone District.
The existing residence is served by Left Hand Water District and an on -site wastewater treatment
system (OWTS) permitted for 3 bedrooms (G19750586). The OWTS is located to the north of the
residence and will be removed when the addition is constructed.
We recommend that the following requirement be incorporated into the permit as a development
standard:
1. All structures must meet the required setbacks from the existing On -site Wastewater
Treatment System in compliance with provisions of the Weld County Code,
