Home My WebLink About20193896.tiffMEMORANDUM TO: Diana Aungst, Planning Services FROM: Evan Pinkham, Public Works DATE: June 13, 2019 SUBJECT: USR19-0035 Bohrer 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 Use by Special Review Permit for a Veterinary Clinic in the A (Agricultural) Zone District This project is north of Highway 66 and is east of and adjacent to CR 1. Parcel number 120719001005. Access is from Sandra Jean Way. ACCESS Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access, and access shall be via Sandra Jean Way. 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 1 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, 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 1 counted 7958 vpd with 8% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 54 mph. The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 100 daily roundtrips. Approx. 70% of the traffic will be going to the south 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 approved tracking control during construction. IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Public Works may require an Improvements Agreement for one or all the following reasons: • Off -Site Public Improvements • Road Maintenance Agreement • Construction Maintenance Agreement • Access Improvements Agreement An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required off -site improvements per Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 12-5-60.

(Case Number: USR19-0035) Based on my review, I have the following comments with regard to the project: • Buildings shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions of the International Fire Code. Water supply for fire protection is required for this use. The required fire flow for a 5,000 square foot building is 2,000 gallons per minute. Changing the building construction or adding a fire sprinkler system will reduce the required fire flow. Currently, it does not appear that the required fire flow is available to the site from the water mains located in Weld County Road I even if a fire hydrant was installed. • Fire apparatus access must be provided so that fire apparatus may reach within 150 feet of all portions of the storage. Access roads must be a minimum of 20 feet in width and provided with provisions for the turning around of fire apparatus if any road is in excess of 1.50 feet in length. Fire apparatus access roads must be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus (60,000 pounds), must have a surface that provides all-weather driving capabilities and be free from obstructions which includes locked gates. If the gates to the property are going to be locked, the gates must be provided with a Knox brand key switch or Knox brand padlock. • Building construction plans and a final site plan showing required access and water supply for fire protection need to be submitted to the Fire District before building permits may be issued. We appreciate being involved in the planning process. Should you have any questions, please contact me at 303-772-0710 x 1121.

Water Division 1, Water District 1 Dear Ms. Aungst: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal for a site -specific development plan and use by special review. The submitted material 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 comments. The comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this property or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. The subject property contains an existing oil and gas facility that was constructed in 2014. The facility consists of 15 tanks, 9 separators, 5 water tanks, 3 vapor recovery towers, 6 vapor recovery units, 13 combustors, 5 buffer vessels, 1 scrubber, and 9 meter runs. The application proposes to construct a 5,000 square foot veterinary clinic and a storm water detention pond. A 1,000 square foot agricultural shed may also be constructed. The proposed construction is proposed to be located in the northwest portion of the lot and will not affect the existing oil & gas structures. The proposed veterinary clinic is anticipated to have up to 12 full-time employees and up to 40 customers per day. The clinic is proposed to primarily treat domestic pets such as cats and dogs, but may also treat occasional livestock. The proposed water supply is a tap from Longs Peak Water District, and a commitment letter from the District dated January 31, 2019 was included as part of the application. A detention pond for managing storm water runoff is proposed to be located southeast of the proposed veterinary clinic. A drainage report written by Drexel, Barrel & Co. was included as part of the application, and was prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Weld County Storm Drainage Criteria. The applicant should be aware that, pursuant to Colorado Senate Bill 15-212, storm water facilities must meet specific criteria to prevent them from being administered by the Office of the State Engineer as detailed in Section 37-92-602(8), C.R.S. The detention pond must be operated solely for storm water management and be subject to oversight by a governmental entity (i.e., required as part of a permitting process). Further, it must release or infiltrate at least 97 percent of all of the water from a rainfall event that is equal to or less than a five-year storm within 72 hours of the end the rainfall event. Water detained from rainfall events greater than five-year storms should be released as quickly as practicable, not to exceed the release or infiltration of 99 percent of all water within 120 hours of the end of the rainfall event. The detention pond must 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 www.colorado.gov/ water Jared Pol is, Governor Dan Gibbs, Executive Director I Kevin G.

In addition, for detention facilities constructed after August 5, 2015, the operator must submit notice of the proposed detention facility to the Substitute Water Supply Plan Notification List.
