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 (Indoor storage of RV, boats, trailers, cars, ATVs, and general residential items) 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 and a seventy (70) square foot freestanding sign in the A (Agricultural) Zone District This project is north of Highway 66 and is east of and adjacent to CR 1. Parcel number 120719000069. Access is from CR 1. ACCESS Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access. The applicant is proposing the use of an existing access point on County Road 1 approx. 1665 feet north of Highway 66 for storage. This is to be used as a commercial access and requires that the access be upgraded to include minimum 60' turning radii. The applicant is proposing keeping residential access located on County Road 1 approx. 1795 feet north of Highway 66. Neither access meets the spacing requirements for a collector roadway. Public Works is requesting that the residential access be closed and reclaimed to minimize points of conflict in this area. Please contact Public Works with questions regarding this requirement. 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 4441 vpd with 6% trucks. The 851h percentile speed is 55 mph. The Traffic Information Study submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 210 daily roundtrips. The morning will have approximately 16 peak hour trips and the afternoon will have approximately 17 peak hour trips. The majority of the traffic will be going to and from the south on County Line Road (County Road 1) to Highway 66. 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. 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. A variance request for alternatives to the tracking control requirement can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration.

Water Division 1, Water District 5 Dear Ms. Aungst: We have reviewed the above referenced 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 applicant proposes to use a portion of an 8 -acre parcel for a self -storage facility. There is an existing single-family dwelling on the property that will continue to be used as a residence unassociated with the storage facility. The storage facility will consist of approximately 127,080 square feet of indoor storage for RVs, boats, ATVs, and household goods; 225,000 square feet of asphalt driveway; and a 15,000 square foot storm water detention pond. The storage facility is anticipated to have two full-time employees and one part-time employee. The water supply for the property is the Longs Peak Water District. A letter from the Longs Peak Water District dated March 23, 2018, confirming that the property is within the district boundaries and that the district is the provider of domestic (potable) water service was provided with the referral materials. Storm water runoff is proposed to be conveyed to an onsite detention pond that will be located on the west side of the site. 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 operate passively, not expose ground water, and not subject the storm water runoff to any active treatment process. In addition, for detention facilities constructed after August 5, 2015, the operator must submit notice of the proposed detention facility to the Substitute Water 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.
