FROM: Hayley Balzano, Public Works
DATE: July 24, 2019
SUBJECT: COZ19-0003
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:
Parcel(s): 121324300032
The project proposes to: A Change of Zone Application to change the zoning from A (Agricultural) to 1-3
(Industrial).
ACCESS:
Weld County Public Works has reviewed the application materials related to access. The applicant is
proposing the use of an existing access on County Road 30 located approx.4900 feet west of County Road
49. The application material also mentions using an access on County Road 47. County Road 47 is an
unmaintained section line road in this area. If an additional access is proposed, the applicant will need to
verify the existence of right-of-way and show that the road lies within existing right-or-way or obtain an
easement. If a second access is applied for, the existing access on County Road 30 will need to be closed
and reclaimed.
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. For shared
accesses (Weld County Code Appendix 12A.3.5), Public Works strongly recommends the property owner
establish an access road maintenance agreement so future owner of the properties will be aware of their
requirements for shared maintenance of the access road. This is not a requirement for the recorded
exemption but is recommended to avoid property owner conflicts in the future. Please refer to Chapter 12
of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHT-OF-WAY:
County Road 30 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
on the plat the future and 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.
County Road 47 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 plat.The applicant shall delineate on the 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.
Per Chapter 12, Article IV, 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/public works/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.

Memorandum
To: Chris Gathman
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: June 27, 2019
Re: COZ19-0003 Thompson
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Change of Zone from the A
(Agricultural) Zone District to the 1-3 (Industrial) Zone District.
The site is served by a well permitted for commercial use (75846-F) and a commercial on-site
wastewater treatment system permitted for 15 people (SP-1600148).
We recommend the following appear as notes on the resubdivision plat:
1. Water service may be obtained from an appropriately permitted well.
2. The parcel is currently not served by a municipal sanitary sewer system. Sewage
disposal may be by septic systems designed in accordance with the regulations of the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control
Division and the Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair,
replacement, or modification of the system.
3. Activity or use on the surface of the ground over any part of the OWTS must be
restricted to that which shall allow the system to function as designed and which shall
not contribute to compaction of the soil or to structural loading detrimental to the
structural integrity or capability of the component to function as designed.
4. During development of the site, all land disturbances shall be conducted so that
nuisance conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions, at
the request of Weld County Environmental Health Services, a fugitive dust control plan
must be submitted.
5. If land development exceeds 6 months in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a
fugitive dust control plan, submit an air pollution emissions notice application, and apply
for a permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Case No. COZ19-0003
W1/2 SW1/4 of Section 24, T3N, R65W
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Gathman:
This referral 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 informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for
this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements.
In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or
infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water.
The Applicant is seeking a change of zone from A (Agricultural) to 1-3 (Industrial) for a 7.03 acre
property know as Lot A of the Recorded Exemption RE-3963. The property is being used for an Oil and
Gas Support and Service (Oil and Gas Equipment Refurbishing, Storage and Shop) under USR11-0009
amended under 1MUST16-11-0009. Our office previously commented on the original Site Specific
Development Plan and Special Review Permit No. USR11-0009 and the amendment 1MUST16-11-0009 by
our letters dated August 18, 2011 and June 20, 2016.
The proposed water supply for the commercial use on the property is an existing well operated under
permit no. 75846-F and the estimated water demand is 1.9 acre-feet. Permit no. 75846-F was issued
for the amount of water in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer underlying the Applicant's 7 acres located in
the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 24, Township 3 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M. This well is
permitted for commercial purpose, with a maximum pumping rate of 15 gallons per minute and an
allowed average annual appropriation not to exceed 1.9 acre-feet.
This office has no objection to the proposed change of zone as long as well permit no. 75846-F is being
operated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the well permit.
If you, or the applicant, have any questions please contact loana Comaniciu of this office at
303-866-3581 x8264.
Sindrely,
