WELD COUNTY
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE
1. Explain, in detail, the proposed use of the property.
The proposed use of the property includes a 400-sf office attached to a 4,000-sf enclosed and
heated shop for repairs and maintenance to nine (9) semi -trucks and twelve (12) 48' pneumatic
trailers.
A future proposed use to include an addition to the above listed shop that will be a 4,000-sf non -
heated, cold storage shop and a 3,000-sf home with a 700-sf attached garage.
There will only be one home on site as the first home office will operate as an office exclusively
once the 3,000sf primary residence is built.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter
22 of the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed application is consistent with Chapter 22 of the Comprehensive Plan by satisfying
several aspects of the goals identified. The proposed application meets Goal 7 by protecting the
property owner's right to a land use change, while minimizing the impact to surrounding
properties and maintaining compatibility of the region. The nature of the facility means that
there will be little increase in traffic to the area, yet it still provides a valuable service that is
centrally located to many of the surrounding agriculture based communities.
Sec. 22-2-10.E.: In keeping with the intent of the preamble of the Weld County Charter "to
provide uncomplicated, unburdensome government, responsive to the people," development in
rural areas provides opportunities for land divisions that are exempt from subdivision
regulations and allows land use by small agricultural operations and home businesses. These
lots retain the agricultural zoning designation and support a high -quality rural character, while
maintaining freedom from cumbersome regulations.
G. A. Goal 7. County land use regulations should protect the individual property owner's right to
request a land use change. 2. A. Policy 7.2. Conversion of agricultural land to nonurban
residential, commercial and industrial uses should be accommodated when the subject site is in
an area that can support such development, and should attempt to be compatible with the
region.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code, Chapter
23 (Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located.
Weld County Code Chapter 23 is intended to limit land uses that are incompatible with
surrounding A (Agricultural) Zone District with exceptions that there are certain buildings,
structures and uses that are allowed within the A (Agricultural) Zone District through special use
review conducted by Weld County► representatives. See Sections of Chapter 23 noted below that
relate to this application and relate to the Uses By Right and Accessory Uses by Right for the
Swanson Property which is currently located in an unincorporated portion of Weld County
outside of any subdivisions and therefore meets the intent of the established code.
Sec. 23-3-40. Uses by special review. The following BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES and USES may be
constructed, occupied, operated and maintained in the A (Agricultural) Zone District upon
approval of a permit in accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth in Article II,
Division 4 of this Chapter.

RE: Drainage Narrative
Ms. Aungst:
Please find in this letter the information requested for the Use by Special Review (USR)
application Drainage Narrative. I hope this information meets your requirements as defined in
the Weld County es
A Use by Special Review application has been submitted requesting the ability to have truck
parking on site, as well as a variety of trailers for a future hoe run business. The subject
property is approximately 19,03 acres owned by Michelle and Chris Swanson and has been
historically used for agricultural purposes. The USR applicant wishes to construct a personal
residence on the property in the future, as well asp a second structure for storage and potential
employee hcu � � existing � � ,
sing, There is an access from Ski 14 and an existing road leading to the
future home site.
The area where the trucks are to park is not proposed to be paved and shall be ,a leveled out
section of approximately 0.5 acre while the majority of the property shall stay i Mural. The
re
�+''
is no significant change to the overall runoff coefficient with a small area of disturbance relative
to the large agricultural area, As a percent of total land area, the parking area is approximately
2.6% of the total land area. The change in the runoff coefficient may change to the nearest
hundredth, but the overall routing calculation would produce a peak low calculated for
developed conditions that is identical to that calculated for historic peak flows.
it is my conclusion that this proposed Use by Special Review permit would not create any adverse
drainage conditions and would only negligibly after the total peak runoff in an isolated area, it is
my opinion that additional detention is not required as there is no significant- change a to the
historical drainage patterns! release Point, or hydraulic structures,
if there should be any significant changes in the surrounding land uses, additional drainage
analysis may be require. The proposed future home and outbuilding/bunkhouse should not be
considered a significant modification if historic drainage patterns are maintained.
I hope that have adequately covered this [ em as requested In the pre -application meeting.
Should you have.�
any questions or concerns, , please do not hesitate to contact me with my cell
phone number 970417-9965 or via email.
Best Regards,
John S. Vazquez, R.E.

DRAINAGE REPORT REVIEW CHECKLIST
Project Name: U Furl3-0113 Swanson
The purpose of this checklist is to provide the applicant's Engineer a basic list of items that County Staff will review
in regards to a drainage report. The drainage design shall meet the requirements of the Weld County Code and
commonly accepted engineering practices and methodologies.
A detention pond design (or other stormwater mitigation design) is appropriate for projects which have a potential to
adversely affect downstream neighbors and public rights -of -way from changes in stormwater runoff as a result of
the development project. The design engineer's role is to ensure adjacent property owners are not adversely affected
by stormwater runoff created by development of the applicant's property.
