FROM: Melissa J King, PE, DRE
DATE: May 31, 2022
SUBJECT: COZ22-0005 Cowan
The proposal has been reviewed on behalf of the Weld County Department of Public Works and Department
of Planning and Zoning. 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:
Parcels: 096115200018, 096115200007 (RES21-0009 will result in one new parcel number for both)
The project proposes to: Change of Zone from the R-1 (Low -Density Residential) Zone District to the C-3
(Business Commercial) Zone District.
ACCESS:
Weld County Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access.
The application states that the proposed access onto E. 20th Street be located at the western boundary of
parcel 096115200018. This access point would be a shared access with the Bella Romero School. An
easement with the school would be required to use this access point and the associated private drive. The
proposed access point meets the Minimum Spacing Critera, as specified in Table 1 below.

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.
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 widths are shown in Weld County Code Sec. 8-14-30. For shared access,
Development Review strongly recommends the property owner establish an access road maintenance
agreement so future owner of the properties will be aware of their requirements for shared maintenance of
the access road. This is not a requirement for the change of zone but is recommended to avoid property
owner conflicts in the future. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld County Code for more information
regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY:
E. 20th Street is a paved 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 plat 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
Latest Annual Average Daily Traffic on this portion of E. 20th Street counted 785 vehicles per day with 7%
trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 33 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the prior land use case for this site (i.e. RES21-009) indicates that
the proposed future average daily trips will be 448 with 16 AM peak trips and 32 PM peak trips.
Based on this traffic information, the E. 20th Street road facilities providing access to the property are
adequate in functional classification, width and structural capacity to meet the traffic requirements.
No additional traffic information is needed at this time. Be aware that future land use cases may have
additional requirements as the proposed traffic may trigger required improvements.
MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4):
This site is located in a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Area which may trigger specific
water quality requirements or other drainage improvements. In addition to compliance with applicable Weld
County regulations, property owner is required to be compliant with any additional MS4 requirements.
No MS4 requirements have been triggered with the proposed change of zone. Be aware that subsequent
land use cases may trigger MS4 requirements.
Questions pertaining to the MS4 requirements should be directed to the Public Works Department 970-
400-3788.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
The plat shall be amended to delineate the following
1. East 20th Street is a paved 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 at full
buildout. The applicant shall delineate and label on the 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 existing right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. The applicant shall also
delineate the physical location of the roadway. 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.
This road is maintained by Weld County. (Development Review)
2. Show and label the proposed access point and the usage types (Agriculture, Residential,

parcel, from the access point, on the plat. (Development Review)
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS (NOTES ON THE PLAT)

pursuant to Chapter 15, Article I and II, of the Weld County Code. (Development Review)
2. Access on the site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages
and/or offsite tracking. (Development Review)
3. All access and utility easements are dedicated for the benefit of all owners of lots depicted on this
plat, including owners of future lots created therefrom, regardless of lot configuration or number of

From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: May 26, 2022
Re: COZ22-0005 Applicant: Keith Cowan
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Change of Zone from the R-1 ( Low -
Density Residential) Zone District to the C-3 (Business Commercial) Zone District.
The site is vacant. There are currently no utilities to the site however the application indicates the
City of Greeley will supply water to the site. A will serve letter from the City was received and
indicates "The service will be provided once any and all necessary on and offsite infrastructure
improvements are completed, and applicable fees are paid."
An on -site wastewater treatment system may provide sewer as the existing sewer line is currently 600
feet from the proposed structure according to the application.
The Weld County Code stipulates in Section 30-4-30.K.: No OWTS permit shall be issued to any
person when the subject property is located within a municipality or special district that provides
public sewer service, except where such sewer service to the property is not feasible in the
determination of the municipality or special district, or the permit is otherwise authorized by the
municipality or special district.
C.R.S. 32-1-1006 states: To compel the owner of premises located within the boundaries of any such
district, whenever necessary for the protection of public health, to connect such owner's premises, in
accordance with the state plumbing code, to the sewer, water and sewer, or water lines, as
applicable, of such district within twenty days after written notice is sent by registered mail if such
sewer or water line is within four hundred feet of such premises. If such connection is not begun
within twenty days, the board may thereafter connect the premises to the sewer, water and sewer, or
water system, as applicable, of such district and shall have a perpetual lien on and against the

premises for the cost of making the connection, and any such lien may be foreclosed in the same
manner as provided by the laws of this state for the foreclosure of mechanics' liens.
We recommend the following appear as notes on the plat:
1. Water service may be obtained from The City of Greeley.
2. The parcel is currently not served by a municipal sanitary sewer system. Sewage disposal
may be by an on -site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) designed in accordance with the
regulations of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality
Control Division and the Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair,
replacement, or modification of the system.
3. Activity or use on the surface of the ground over any part of the OWTS must be restricted to
that which shall allow the system to function as designed and which shall not contribute to
compaction of the soil or to structural loading detrimental to the structural integrity or capability
of the component to function as designed.
