The Weld County Department of Public Works has reviewed this proposal. 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 a Special Review Permit for Mineral Resource
Development Facilities including Oil and Gas Support and Service including four (4) gas compressors and
up to four (4) construction office trailers and six (6) conex for use during the construction of the facility in
the A (Agricultural) Zone (Miskey Compressor Station)
This project is north of CR 18 and is east of CR 63.
Parcel number 130320000004.
Access is from CR 398.
ACCESS
The applicant is proposing using an access on County Road 63 approx 200 feet south of County Road 398.
At this location, County Road 63 is not tangent. To meet Weld County Code and safely cross the BNSF
railroad tracks, the access point needs to be moved to be at least 330 feet south of the railroad crossing on
County Road 63.
The applicant will use County Road 20 Section Line right-of-way to travel west from the Subdivsion
Exemption parcel, towards the railroad right-of-way. At the railroad right-of-way, the access road will turn
due southwest. From this point an access easement will be required to allow the USR to use private property
to access County Road 63.
Commericial accesses are allowed a maximum width of 24-36' and minimum turning radii of 60'. Please
ensure your access easement covers this area.
Per Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 12-5-30, 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 Chapter 12, Article
V, Section 12-5-30. F, 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 Appendix Table 12A-2. Please refer
to Chapter 12 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
The proposed parcel uses unmaintained County Road right-of-way and a proposed private easement to
access maintained County Road 63. The submitted plat shall show any unmaintained rights -of -way and
private easements used to access the site from the maintained County Road, from the lots to and including
the maintained County Road access point. The physical location of the road within the right-of-way or
easement shall be shown on the plat. Reception numbers shall be referenced for right-of-way or easement
documents. Please contact Public Works with questions.
30' of right-of-way exists on the northern boundary of Section 20 for County Road 20. This is section line
right of way and is not maintained by Weld County. Weld County commonly refers to these locations as
"Non -Maintained Section Line Right -of -Way." The existence of a physical road does not imply public right-
of-way and the road may be located on private property. All right-of-way should be verified and physical
roads located in relationship to the public right-of-way to ensure trespassing does not occur. The applicant
shall verify the existing right-of-way and the documents creating the right-of-way and this information shall
be noted on the site plan or plat. The applicant shall delineate on the site map or plat the existing right-of-
way and physical location of existing or proposed roads. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be
dedicated or an adequate easement between property owners shall be provided. Pursuant to the definition
of setback in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is
measured from the future right-of-way line. Be aware the physical roadway(s) may not be centered in the
right-of-way. This road is NOT maintained by Weld County.
The applicant will need to show the easement used to access County Road 63. County Road 63 is a gravel
road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as
a(n) local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate on the site map or 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, Chapter 23,
Article III, Section 23-3-50, 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 12, Article 4, Section 12-4-30.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:llwww.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 63 counted 57 vpd with 20% trucks. The 85'" percentile speed is 50 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that during construction there will
be approximately 25-30 passenger vehicle daily roundtrips and up to four semi -truck daily round trips. After
construction is completed, there will be approximately two to five passenger vehicles and up to two semi -
truck trips daily. The majority of the traffic will be traveling between County Road 398 and the access point
located approx. 200 feet south of County Road 398.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
For the quantity of vehicles proposed, there are no permanent tracking control requirements. Tracking
control will be required during construction. The site will be accessing maintained Weld County Road 63
south of County Road 398. This is the location where tracking control will be required.
ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works is requiring Road Maintenance Agreement during construction including, but is not limited to,
dust control and damage repair to specified haul routes.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldqov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/sprusr.pdf. It will detail the approved haul route(s) and include a maintenance agreement for the haul
routes. Possible mitigations included in the road maintenance agreement may include but are not limited
to: dust control, specified haul routes, and damage repairs.
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.
The applicant has submitted a preliminary drainage report, proposing retention for the site. This site is the
lowest point in the drainage basin. A final drainage report and retention pond design completed by a
Colorado Licensed Professional Engineer is required prior to recording the USR map. The drainage report
must include a certification of compliance stamped and signed by the PE. A Certification of Compliance
form can be found on the Public Works Development Review website. General drainage report checklist is
available on the engineering website. More complete checklists are available upon request.
Historic Flows:
The applicants will be required to maintain the historic drainage flows and run-off amounts that exist from
the property.
GRADING PERMIT
A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications
are accepted after the planning process is complete (plan recorded). An Early Release Request Form may
be entertained only after the applicant, Public Works and Planning Department have reviewed the referral
and surrounding property owner comments. The Early Release Request may or may not be granted
depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering
representative from the Public Works for more information.
