GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Home
Business (HVAC repair) and one (1) single-family dwelling unit per lot other than those permitted under
Section 23-3-20.A. (second single-family dwelling unit) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 2.5 and is west of CR 29.
Parcel number 147132000083.
Access is from CR 2.5.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed that application materials related to access, and the one existing
access has a permit under AP18-00285
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 2.5 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://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 2.5 counted 111 vpd with 12% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 6
daily roundtrips.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, traffic volumes to the proposed facility may require the installation of
a tracking control device and/or a minimum of four inches of compacted recycled asphalt or aggregate road
base. Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. 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 devices
can be double cattle guards or rip rap (6" washed rock). 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.
Less than 20 passenger vehicle round trips/day, no upfront tracking control requirements.
DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS
This area IS within an Urbanizing Drainage Area:
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, 5 -year storm
falling on the undeveloped site for URBANIZING areas.
Detention pond waived and a simple drainage narrative:
A drainage narrative is required and full drainage report and detention pond waived if the site qualifies for
an exception to detention requirements listed below.
The drainage narrative must include at the minimum:
1. Description which exception is being applied for and supporting rationale
2. Where the water originates if it flows onto the property from an offsite source
3. Where it flows to as it leaves the property
4. The direction of flow across the property
5. If there have been previous drainage problems with the property
Exceptions.
1. Exceptions to stormwater detention shall not jeopardize the public health, safety, and
welfare of public and private property. Exceptions shall be supported with a drainage
narrative.
a. No stormwater detention will be required for sites that meet any of the following
conditions. Requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
areas remain applicable.
8) Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the
imperviousness of the site.
MS4
This site is not in a defined Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) area which is a more urbanized
area with state mandated, higher water quality requirements
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.

Memorandum
To: Diana Aungst
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: September 27, 2018
Re: USR18-0073 Sloan and Marcellus
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site -Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Home Business (HVAC
repair and maintenance) and one (1) single-family dwelling unit per lot other than those
permitted under Section 23-3-20.A. (second single-family dwelling unit) in the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
Both residences on the property are serviced by the same domestic water well which is
permitted for 2 single family dwellings (82045-F). The water well cannot be used for
business use unless it is repermitted to allow commercial use. A septic permit (SP -
1800156) sized for 6 bedrooms was issued May 10, 2018. As the two residences are
existing, the septic system should be installed prior to recordation of the USR plat. If
the business utilizes the septic system an engineer review is required.
Portable toilets and bottled water can be used for 2 or less full-time and/or 4 or less
part-time employees on site. The application did not indicate if portable toilets or bottled
water would be used. If the existing septic system will be utilized for the business an
engineer review is required and if the system is inadequate a repair permit must be
submitted, and the system shall be brought up to current requirements.
There will not be fuel storage, floor drains or vehicle or equipment washing on site.
There will be some storage of gases and chemicals in the shop area.
We recommend that the following requirement be met prior to allowing the plat to be
recorded:
1. The on -site wastewater treatment system permitted as SP -1800156 shall receive
final approval from Environmental Health Services.

MEMORANDUM
To: Diana Aungst, Planner September 7, 2018
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR18-0073 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV16-00096) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of multiple dwelling units, commercial operations and a large
Noncommercial Junkyard 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.
Approval of this application by the Board of County Commissioners would correct a portion of the
outstanding violations. The applicant shall also completely SCREEN the NONCOMMERCIAL
JUNKYARD (personal use).
If this application is denied, the case will continue through the County Court process unless the multiple
homes and commercial operations are removed. Additionally, the applicant shall also completely
SCREEN the NONCOMMERCIAL JUNKYARD (personal use).
Our next County Court hearing is scheduled for January 7, 2019, Division C.
