COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for any Use
permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use or a Use by Special Review Permit in the Commercial or
Industrial Zone Districts (vehicle repair establishment including a shop, truck and equipment storage)
provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or
plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A(Agricultural)Zone District.
This project is south of and adjacent to CR 36 and is west of and adjacent to CR 33.
Parcel number 121110100021.
Access is from CR 36.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials and Weld County Property Portal related
to access and determined that the parcel currently has three (3) accesses on County Road 33 which are
located approximately 255, 480, and 510 feet south of County Road 36, and one (1) access on County
Road 36 which is located approximately 1,220 feet west of County Road 33. The applicant is proposing to
use the existing County Road 36 access for access to the project site.
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
County Road 33 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. 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.
County Road 36 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. 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://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 36 counted 65 vpd with 27% trucks. The 851h percentile speed is 51 mph.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 10
passenger vehicle/pickup daily roundtrips and 10 heavy equipment truck/trailer/crane daily roundtrips. 70%
of the traffic will be going to the west and 30% of the traffic will be going to the north.
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 road base or road base on all driving surfaces.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Because of the applicant's projected daily roundtrips (that may occur within the next few years) Public
Works is requiring an Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement with triggers for off-site
improvements.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/USR-SPR-Permits°/020Improvements°/020Aqreement°/020Template.pdf. It will detail the approved
haul route(s), outline when off-site improvements will be triggered, 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, damage repairs, and future improvement triggers.
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 summarized in a Drainage Report:
The applicant has submitted a Drainage Narrative with a non-qualifying exception. The applicant shall
submit a final drainage report and detention pond design completed by a Colorado Licensed Professional
Engineer or a revised narrative stamped and signed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of

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

USR19-0045
Part of the E ''/2 of the NE 1/4, Sec. 10, T3N, R66W, Sixth P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Nader,
The Applicant is requesting a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a
vehicle repair establishment including a shop, truck and equipment storage.
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 proposed water supply is a proposed well.
A review of our records found well permit no. 313976 was issued on June 27, 2019 pursuant to 37-
93-602(b)(I) and the policy of the State Engineer for drinking and sanitary purposes inside a
commercial business. This office has not received information that a well was constructed under
permit no. 313976, the permit will expire on June 27, 2021 unless this office receives information
that the well was constructed prior to the expiration of the permit, or the applicant submits a request
for a one year extension of the expiration date of the well permit. This office has no objection to
the proposal so long as the terms and conditions of permit no. 313976 are complied with.
If you, or the applicant, have any questions please contact Allis Thyne at 303-866-3581 x8216.
Sincerely,
