GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Use
permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial
Zone Districts (shop and truck parking) 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 Highway 14 and is east of and adjacent to CR 21 section line.
Parcel number 070514200008.
Access is from Highway 14.
ACCESS
Access is on Highway 14. A CDOT access permit may be required.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 21 is a section line road. Section line right-of-way does not exist in all sections in Weld County
and should be verified before a decision to utilize it is made. 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 Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to state highways.
Please contact Tim Bilobran at the Greeley office (970-350-2163) to verify the access permit or for any
additional requirements that may be needed. (State Highway 14)
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.
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 summarized in a Drainage Report:
The applicant has submitted a drainage narrative but the site does not meet the exceptions listed under 23-
12-30.F.1.a. 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.
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.
A Construction Stormwater Permit is also required with the State for disturbing more than 1 acre. Contact:
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, 303-692-3575.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
A. A Final Drainage Report and Certification of Compliance stamped and signed by a Professional
Engineer registered in the State of Colorado is required. (Department of Public Works)
B. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 21 Section Line is shown to have 30 feet of unmaintained section line right-of-way
per the Weld County GIS right-of-way map. The applicant shall delineate the existing right-of-way

Case No. USR18-0113
W1/2 of NW'/4 of Sec. 14, T7N, R67W, 6tH P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 3
Dear Ms. Aungst:
We have reviewed the above -referenced Use by Special Review permit application and 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 Applicant is the owner of the subj ect 19.03 acre parcel and is proposing additional future
uses. The current proposed use for the parcel includes a 400 square -foot office and 4,000 square -
foot shop. The future proposed use involves an additional 4,000 square -foot shop and a 3,000
square -foot home with a 700 square -foot garage.
The proposed water source for the property is the North Weld County Water District
("District"). A Water Sevice Agreement between the Applicant and District was signed on May 11th,
2018. This office considers the District to be a reliable water source.
Should you or the Applicant have any questions regarding this matter please contact Colin
Watson at this office.
Sincerely,
Sarah Brucker, P.E.
Water Resources Engineer
