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 2nd Amended Use by Special Review Permit No. USR17-0003 for an office and storage facility for a seed dealership, indoor and outdoor storage of RVs, boats, construction equipment, commercial vehicles, trailers, and semi -trucks, eight (8) parking spots for rental equipment, to include the addition of fertilizer storage and sales including a 500 -gallon above ground fuel tank in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This project is north of and adjacent to CR 46 and is east of Hwy 85. Parcel number 105712300010 — Lot B RECX17-0013, 1 0571 2300009 — Lot A RECX17-0013. Access is from CR 46 (AP17-00070) ACCESS Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access. Parcel 105712300009 — Lot A RECX17-0013 has an existing permitted access point onto CR 46 (AP17- 00070 located approximately 1,460 feet west of the intersection of CR 46 and CR 35.5). Based on the proposed site plan, the applicant is proposing to create a new access approximately 1,330 feet west of the intersection of CR 46 and CR 35.5. This access location appears to meet the Minimum Access Spacing Criteria. The applicant shall obtain an access permit for this location. The existing permitted access point shall be closed and reclaimed. Parcel 10512300010 — Lot B RECX17-0013 has an existing permitted access point onto CR 46 (AP17- 00070 located approximately 700 feet west of the intersection of CR 46 and CR 35.5). No change is proposed for this access point. 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 with Public Works prior to laying out your site plan to ensure the approved accesses are compatible with your layout. Per Sec. 24-8-40, when feasible, there shall be no net increase in the number of accesses to a public road. Minimum access spacing are shown in Weld County Code, Sec. 8-14-30 Table 1. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access. ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY This portion of County Road 46 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 and label on the site map or plat the future and existing right-of-way (along with the documents creating the existing right-of-way) and the physical location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated or reserved per Weld County Code. 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. The property is bounded by State Highway 85. Contact the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to determine what right-of-way shall be shown on the submitted plan Reference the documents creating the right-of- way. Please contact Mr. Tim Bilobran at the Greeley office,, phone number: 970-350-2163. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has completed a US 85 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study, as well as a US Highway 85 Access Control Plan. The objective of the US 85 PEL Study is to develop a strategic vision for US 85 between I-76 and the Town of Nunn. Please review the US 85 PEL Study to ensure you are in compliance with the requirements. More information about this study can be accessed at https://www.weldgov.com/Government/Departments/Public-Works/Transportation- Planning/Regional-Transportation-Planning . 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 No current traffic count information is available for this portion of CR 46. The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicates that traffic will be approximately 30 daily roundtrips (20 seasonal roundtrips per day associated with the RV storage, 20 seasonal round trips per day associated with the semi -trucks associated with agriculture, and 5 round trips per day of semi - trucks) . 20 % of the traffic will be going to the east and 80 % of the traffic will be going to the west. Per the Traffic Narrative, traffic will not travel onto Hwy 85 at its intersection with CR 46. Specifically, "it is anticipated that the intersection of HW 85 and CR 46 will be closed upon completion of the HWY 85 & CR 44 flyover." 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 Public Works for review and consideration. The site is required to have either double cattle guards with 100 ft. of road base, or road base on all driving surfaces. ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Public Works 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.weldgcv.com/Government/Departments/Planninq-and-Zoning/Development-Review .

Water Division 1, Water District 2 Dear Diana Aungst, We have received your February 7, 2022 submittal concerning the above referenced proposal for a site development plan and 2nd amended use by special review for an office and storage facility. This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The water supply for the property is an existing water tap from the Central Weld County Water District ("District"). Our office has no comments on the District's ability to serve the property. According to the submitted material, stormwater detention structure(s) will be developed on the site. The applicant should be aware that unless the structure(s) meet the requirements of a "storm water detention and infiltration facility" as defined in section 37-92-602(8), C.R.S., the structure(s) may be subject to administration by this office. The applicant should review DWR's Administrative Statement Regarding the Management of Storm Water Detention Facilities and Post-Wildland Fire Facilities in Colorado, to ensure that the notification, construction and operation of the proposed structure(s) meet statutory and administrative requirements. The applicant is encouraged to use Colorado Stormwater Detention and Infiltration Facility Notification Portal to meet the notification requirements. Should you or the applicant have any questions, please contact me at (303) 866-3581 x8265. Sincerely, ,y 1 Joannia Williams, P.E.
