GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Oil and Gas
Support and Service (directional drilling) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural)
Zone District.
This project is north of CR 74 and is west of and adjacent to CR 43.
Parcel number 070933400074.
Access is from CR 43 (AP18-00015 Residential, AP11-00220 Residential).
ACCESS
Development Review has reviewed the application materials related to access.
The parcel has existing permitted residential access onto CR 43. The applicant shall obtain an access
permit for the specific type of activity proposed. No other access location is proposed.
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 Public Works 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. Please refer to Chapter 8 of the Weld
County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
CR 43 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a collector road, which requires 80 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. 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
Latest ADT on CR 43 counted 1,518 vpd with 25% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 66 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicates that the maximum site traffic would
be 15 vehicle round trips per day (passenger vehicles, semi -trucks).
No additional traffic information is needed.
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.
This site requires double cattle guards and 100 ft. of asphalt or 300 ft. of asphalt.
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 waived and a simple drainage narrative:
The applicant has submitted an acceptable drainage narrative stating that the site meets detention
exception 8. Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the imperviousness of the

Re: USR22-0008 Applicant: Brian A. Warren
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site -Specific Development
Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Oil and Gas Support and Service (directional
drilling) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
The existing residence is served by North Weld County Water District and an on -site
wastewater system (OWTS) permitted for 5 bedrooms (SP -1500019).
The application indicates there is a restroom in the shop for employees. The original OWTS
(SP -0700032) was permitted for 3 bedrooms and the system was expanded in 2015 to add
two additional bedrooms (SP -1500019). There is no record of a minor repair OWTS permit to
connect the restroom in the barn to the existing OWTS. A minor repair permit is required for
the connection and an engineer review of the OWTS is required to ensure the adequacy of
the system for business use.
A portable toilet is acceptable for employees or contractors that are on site for less than 2
consecutive hours a day in accordance with EH policy.
The application indicates the location is used to store equipment and vehicles and does not
indicate that repairs will be performed on -site. There are two fuel storage tanks on -site that
have secondary containment.
Environmental Health Services recommends that the following requirements be met prior to
recording the plat:
1. All On -Site Wastewater Treatment systems (OWTS) located on the property shall have
appropriate permits/docunnentation from the Weld County Department of Public Health &
Environment. The Environmental Health Division was unable to locate a permit for the

connection from the shop to the existing OWTS. The existing system will require an
OWTS minor repair permit. In the event the system is found to be inadequate, the system
must be brought into compliance with current OWTS regulations.
2. In the event the applicant intends to utilize the existing OWTS, for employee use, the
system shall be reviewed by a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer. The review
shall consist of observation of the system and a technical review describing the system's
ability to handle the proposed hydraulic load. The review shall be submitted to the
Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health
and Environment. In the event the system is found to be inadequately sized or
constructed the system shall be brought into compliance with current Regulations.
Environmental Health Services recommends that the following requirements be incorporated
into the permit as development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.) shall be stored and removed for final disposal in a
manner that protects against surface and groundwater contamination.
2. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is not meant to
include those wastes specifically excluded from the definition of a solid waste in the
Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.
3. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that controls
fugitive dust, fugitive particulate emissions, blowing debris, and other potential
nuisance conditions. The applicant shall operate in accordance with Chapter 14,
Article 1 of the Weld County Code.

MEMORANDUM
To: Maxwell Nader, Planner March 18, 2022
From: Hannah Dutrow, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR22-0008 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV22-00002) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of Oil & Gas Support & Services operations including but not
limited to the parking of Commercial Vehicles without first obtaining the appropriate land use permits. This
case has not yet been forwarded to the County Attorney's Office; therefore, an investigation fee is NOT
required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff -initiated complaints.
Approval of this application by the Board of County Commissioners would correct the zoning violation;
however, the zoning violation case (ZCV22-00002), cannot be dismissed until the Conditions of Approval
have been completed and the final map has been recorded.
If this application is denied, Compliance staff asks the Board of County Commissioners to refer this
Zoning Violation (ZCV22-00002) case to the County Attorney's Office, but to delay legal action for 30
days in order to allow the applicant time to remove the commercial operations from the property.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Max Nader
FROM: Diana Aungst
SUBJECT: USR22-0008, Warren
DATE: March 15, 2022
A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Oil and Gas Support and Service
(directional drilling) outside of subdivisions and historic townsites in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
PARCEL: 070933400074
COMMENTS:
On April 7, 2009, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a Letter of Map Amendment
(LOMA) determination document that removed the home and the garage from the 100 -year floodplain. No
additional floodplain permits are required for the garage and the house. If any other structures are built in
the floodplain or outside storage is placed in the floodplain a Floodplain Development Permit will be
required. The remaining acreage of the site is still considered to be in the 100 -year floodplain so outside
storage of floatable materials associated with nonagricultural uses shall not be allowed.
PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION:
1. Any construction in the floodplain requires a floodplain permit. (Department of Planning Services -
Floodplain)
DELINEATE ON THE PLAT:
1. Show the floodplain and floodway (if applicable) boundaries on the map. Label the floodplain
boundaries with the FEMA Flood Zone and FEMA Map Panel Number or appropriate study.
(Department of Planning Services - Floodplain)
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
1. A Flood Hazard Development Permit is required for all construction or development occurring in the
floodplain or floodway as delineated on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FIRM
Community Panel Map #08123C -1250E effective date January 20, 2016 (Lone Tree Creek Floodplain).
Any development shall comply with all applicable Weld County requirements, Colorado Water
Conservation Board requirements as described in Rules and Regulations for Regulatory Floodplains in
Colorado, and FEMA regulations and requirements as described in 44 CFR parts 59, 60, and 65. The
FEMA definition of development is any man-made change to improved or unimproved real estate,
including but not limited to buildings or other structures, mining, dredging, filling, grading, paving,
excavation, drilling operations, or storage of equipment and materials. (Department of Planning
Services - Floodplain)
2. FEMA's floodplain boundaries may be updated at any time by FEMA. Prior to the start of any
development activities, the owner should contact Weld County to determine if the floodplain boundaries
have been modified. (Department of Planning Services - Floodplain)
3. Outside storage of floatable materials associated with nonagricultural uses shall not be allowed.
Materials that are not floatable can be stored outside, provided that a floodplain development permit is
obtained. Floatable materials are defined as any material that is not secured in place that could float
offsite during the occurrence of a flood and potentially cause harm to downstream property owners or
that could cause blockage of a culvert, bridge or other drainage facility. Floatable materials include, but
are not limited to, lumber, vehicles, boats, equipment, drums or other containers or pieces of material
that are likely to float. (Department of Planning Services — Floodplain)
4. Any fencing on the property must allow the flow of floodwaters either through or under the fence.
(Department of Planning Services — Floodplain)
5. The installation of any septic system within the 100 -year floodplain shall comply with the Weld County
O.W.T.S. floodplain policy. (Department of Planning Services - Floodplain)
