Memorandum
To: Kim Ogle
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: March 26, 2020
Re: USR20-0006 Faudoa
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site-Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit outside of subdivisions and
historic townsites for a home business, granite and stone cutting and fabrication in the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
The existing residence is served by a domestic well (permit 230142) and an On-site
Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) that is permitted for 3 bedrooms (SP-0000675).
The building for the business does have a restroom which is served by an OWTS that
was installed without a permit and was required to be permitted retroactively. A
commercial permit application was submitted (SP-1900203) however the application is
missing information from the engineer such as a site plan and as built. The existing
well, which is not permitted for business use, cannot be used for the business unless it
is repermitted. A portable toilet will be provided for employees which is acceptable with
EH policy.
Dust is created by the business process however the application indicates a vacuum
system or water contains the dust. The water must be hauled in from off-site unless the
well is repermitted to allow business use. Fluids from the floor drain will be contained in
a holding tank.
We recommend that the following requirement be incorporated into the permit as a
condition that must be met prior to recording the plat:
1. If the existing on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) for the business
(SP-1900203) will be used, the existing permit shall receive final approval in
accordance with current OWTS regulations. In the event the OWTS will not
be utilized the permit (SP-1900203) shall be negated.

We recommend 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 facility shall operate in
accordance with Chapter 14, Article 1 of the Weld County Code.
4. Fugitive dust should attempt to be confined on the property. Uses on the
property should comply with the Colorado Air Quality Commission's air
quality regulations.
5. Any On-site Wastewater Treatment system located on the property must
comply with all provisions of the Weld County Code, pertaining to
Systems.
6. Any additional hydraulic load to the existing septic system (SP-1900203)
will require an Evaluation from a Colorado Registered Professional
Engineer. The engineer's evaluation shall be submitted to the Weld
County Environmental Health Department. In the event the system is
found to be inadequate, the system must be brought into compliance with
current Weld County On-site Wastewater Treatment System Regulations.
7. A permanent, adequate water supply shall be provided for drinking and
sanitary purposes. The existing well (permit 230142) cannot be used for
the business unless it is repermitted to allow commercial use.
8. Adequate handwashing and toilet facilities shall be provided for employees
and patrons of the facility, at all times. For 2 or less full-time employees on
site, portable toilets are acceptable. Records of maintenance and proper
disposal for portable toilets shall be retained on a quarterly basis and
available for review by the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment. Portable toilets shall be serviced by a cleaner licensed in
Weld County, contain hand sanitizers and be screened from existing
adjacent residential properties and public rights-of-way.
9. Process wastewater (such as floor drain wastes) shall be captured in a
watertight vault and hauled off for proper disposal. Records of installation,
maintenance, and proper disposal shall be retained.
10. The operation shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of
State and Federal agencies and the Weld County Code.

Y To: Kim Ogle, Principal Planner March 9, 2020
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR20-0006 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV18-00159)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a granite business without first completing the necessary
Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has been forwarded to the County Attorney's Office;therefore,
an investigation fee IS 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. I do believe there to be multiple complainants.
Approval of this application by the Board of County Commissioners would correct the violation;however,
neither the violation case(ZCV18-00159), nor the associated court case(19-C-35615)can be dismissed
until the Conditions of Approval have been completed and the final map has been recorded.
If this application is denied,this case will continue through the Violation process in County Court, Division
C (19-C-35615). The following conditions were called out on the court ordered Motion and Stipulated
Agreement.
Defendant agrees to diligently purse the Use by Special Review(USR)application process
through the Department of Planning Services and eventually the Board of County
Commissioners. Defendant agrees to supply any missing or clarifying paperwork as
requested and to attend scheduled hearings/meetings in order to process this USR
application. If this USR application is approved an amended Stipulated Agreement (to
allow time to complete all conditions of approval and record the final map)will be entered.
If this USR application is denied, all commercial operations and associated storage shall
be removed from the property on or before August 28, 2020.
Our next County Court hearing is scheduled for September 21, 2020, Division C.

This property needs to go through a change of use or occupancy with Weld County Building
Department. Once the occupancy has been determined Fire Department code requirements will
need to be addressed.
Nothing in this review is intended to approve any aspect of these plans or this project that does not
comply with all applicable codes and standards.

Hello Kim -Adams County and the City of Brighton project more dense urban residential development,
per our long range plans, due south of 168th (CR 2) in this area. Presently, most of our zoning is A-1 in
this area and is more supportive of agricultural uses and single-family detached homes. The use itself
does not appear to be compatible with residential but Adams County will certainly defer to Weld
County's staff opinion on this matter.
I also have concerns after reviewing the application about the active violation on the property and the
owner's need to stop the use until they go before the USR public hearing(s).
Sincerely,
Libby

Re: Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review (Hector Faudoa)
Case No. USR20-0006
Part of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Sec. 32, T 2N, R 66W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Kim Ogle:
We have received your March 9, 2020 proposal to for a site specific development plan and use by
special review permit for a 7.78-acre parcel known as Lot B of Recorded Exemption RE-2797. The
proposal is for the operation of a small granite fabrication business. The site is currently being used
for a single-family residence and pasture.
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.
According to the submitted material, no water supply source on the property for the business will
be required. Bottled water and portable toilets will be provided to employees. Water will be
hauled to the site, provided by a 3rd party company. Water hauled to the site must be obtained
from a legal source.
The proposed water supply for the residence is an existing domestic well, permit no. 230142. Well
permit no. 230142 was issued November 22, 2000 pursuant to section 37-92-602(3)(b)(I), C.R.S. and
the policy of the State Engineer for this lot. The well is permitted to withdraw an average annual
amount of 1.5 acre-feet per year from the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer at a maximum
pumping rate of 15 GPM. The permitted uses include ordinary household purposes inside one (1)
single family dwelling, the watering of the user's own domestic animals, and the irrigation of not
more than 0.5 acres of home gardens and lawns. According to the submitted material, the well is
proposed to be used for tool polishing. It is unclear if this is still a proposed use, as this information
contradicts the water supply sources proposed in the planning questions of the application. The
well, as permitted, cannot be used for the commercial business or any industrial uses associated
with such business, including but not limited to tool polishing.
Lastly, according to a drainage statement from the applicant, rainwater may be diverted and
detained in a structure on the southwest corner of the property. Construction details for this
structure were not provided, therefore it is unknown if the structure was constructed in accordance
with Colorado laws. The applicant should be aware that precipitation that falls on the site is

tributary water and is a public resource, subject to appropriation through the prior appropriation
system. Therefore, the precipitation collected in the structure may not be detained for longer than
72 hours or diverted for any beneficial use without first obtaining a court-approved plan for
augmentation or a substitute water supply plan approved by the State Engineer. Additionally, the
structure must not expose groundwater to evaporation without first obtaining a court-approved plan
for augmentation or a substitute water supply plan approved by the State Engineer that replaces all
out-of-priority depletions from evaporation. Any water used to fill the structure must be from a
source that can legally be used for such purpose.
If you or the applicant have any questions, please contact Wenli Dickinson at 303-866-3581 x8206
or at wenli.dickinson@state.co.us.
Sincerely,
Joanna Williams, P.E.
