SUBJECT: USR18-0122 Ibarra
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 any Use
permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial
Zone Districts (commercial truck storage, parking and staging and up to one 15,000 SF shop with office)
provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots part of a map or
plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. .
(Front Range Hydro Bandits)
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 52 and is east of CR 53.
Parcel number 096328000040.
Access is from CR 52.
ACCESS
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access. There is an existing
oil and gas horseshoe on the eastern side of the property. The access for the commercial and residential
use is located on County Road 52 approx. 680 feet east of County Road 53. The location of this existing
access is acceptable.
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 52 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
The latest ADT on CR 52 counted 121 vpd with 29% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 48 mph.
The latest ADT on CR 53 counted 2681 vpd with 34% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 54 mph.
The applicant has submitted a traffic narrative for the proposed use. This traffic narrative indicates that
there are 30 passenger vehicle round trips and 15 truck round trips on the site per day. This traffic is
occurring in the morning and even hours. The narrative states that while auxiliary lanes are warranted, they
are not recommended. The traffic narrative does not require all of the information required in a Traffic Impact
Study, including a Level of Service analysis, background traffic, short term and long-term traffic, the morning
peak traffic generated by the USR, or diagrams of traffic. Without this information, the information provided
indicates that a left hand deceleration lane is triggered on County Road 52 at the access location, a left
hand deceleration lane is triggered on County Road 53 at County Road 52 and a right hand deceleration
lane is triggered on County Road 53 at County Road 52. If a Traffic Impact Study is submitted, it does not
necessarily mean that these auxiliary lanes won't be triggered but it will provide a more complete depiction
of the impact on County Road 52 and County Road 53.
TRACKING CONTROL
Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. 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
Public Works is requiring an Improvements Agreement for off -site public improvements, damage repairs to
the specified haul routes, and dust control. The off -site public improvements that are triggered by the
proposed development include a left hand deceleration lane on County Road 52 at the access location, a
left hand deceleration lane on County Road 53 at County Road 52 and a right hand deceleration lane on
County Road 53 at County Road 52.
An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required off -site improvements per Chapter 12,
Article 5, Section 12-5-60. Collateral is required to ensure the improvements are completed, and
maintained.
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), 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 preliminary drainage report. A final drainage report and detention 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.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kim Ogle, Planner December 17, 2018
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR18-0122 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV18-00062) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of a trucking company 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 the outstanding
violation. If this application is denied, the case will continue through the County Court process until all but
1 (one) Commercial Vehicle (which is allowed as an Accessory Use in the Ag Zone District) is removed.
The next scheduled Review Hearing for this case in Division C is Monday, June 17, 2018 @ 10:00 AM.

Dear Mr. Ogle,
Thank you for referring project USR18-0122 to Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) for
review. Water service is provided to parcel 096328000040 through residential tap #1357.
All commercial properties are subject to District backflow prevention requirements. The applicant
must contact our office to determine the exact requirements for their property, as instructions for
installation are specific to the property and a full survey of the tap holder's water usage practices for
their business will be required.
Based on the water usage history at this location, the District encourages the applicant to submit
appropriate fees and documents to our office to request a water study for possible upsizing of the
existing tap. Also, we would like the customer to be aware that if the servicing fire department
requires fire flow for this project a line extension will be necessary for Central Weld to provide it.
If you should need anything further, please contact the District.
Thank you,
