FROM: Hayley Balzano, Public Works
SUBJECT: USR17-0074 Discovery DJ
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: Crude Oil Storage Facility
This project is south of CR 30 and is west of CR 49.
Parcel number 121325400016.
Access is from CR 30.
ACCESS
On CR 30 located approximately 1950 feet west of CR 49.
An Access Permit application was not submitted with the application materials. Public Works has reviewed
the submitted materials and provides the following recommendation for access locations based on County
code and safety criteria in accordance with the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria. The
use of an existing shared access point on CR 30 meets County Code and the safety spacing criteria for a
collector roadway. Questions concerning access requirements can be directed to Public Works access
permit division.
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.4.1 of the Weld County Code, an access approach that is gated shall be
designed so that the longest vehicle (including trailers) using the access can completely clear the traveled
way when the gate is closed. In no event, shall the distance from the gate to the edge of the traveled surface
be less than 35 feet.
For shared accesses, Public Works strongly recommends the property owner establish an access road
maintenance agreement so future owners of the properties will be aware of their requirements for shared
maintenance of the access road. This is not a requirement, but is recommended to avoid property owner
conflicts in the future.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -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(n) collector road, which requires 80 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall
delineate on the site map or 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.
The County Highway (CR 49) is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires a minimum of 140 feet of right-of-way, or 180 feet
of right-of-way in some locations. Weld County is currently in the process of widening this corridor, which
is anticipated to be completed at the end of 2018. Contact Public Works for the location of the current right-
of-way alignment and easements so they can be delineated accurately on the map. If the right-of-way
cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. The applicant shall also delineate the physical location of the road.
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. This road is maintained by Weld County.
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 30 counted 1443 vpd with 57% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 4
daily roundtrips once the site is constructed. During construction, the traffic memo estimates 20 passenger
vehicle round trips and 5 equipment delivery trucks/heavy machinery round trips per day. The traffic memo
estimates 50% of the traffic coming from CR49 and 50% of the traffic coming from CR43 onto CR30.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Tracking control may be required for the construction phase of development. This will be addressed with
the improvements agreement and/or grading permit.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works may require an Improvements Agreement for one or all the following reasons:
• Off -Site Public Improvements
• Road Maintenance Agreement
• Construction Maintenance Agreement
• Access Improvements Agreement
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.weldgov com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eviewlsprusr.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's engineer has submitted a preliminary drainage report for this project. The report proposed
full spectrum detention (90% of the pre -developed 100 year, 1 hour storm). The release rate required by
Weld County in this area is the pre -developed 10 year, 1 hour storm rate. The report also proposed using
an interior road on the site for the emergency spillway. Per Weld County Code, the emergency spillway
must contain a concrete cut off wall and rip rap downstream. Maximum 100 year flow over the spillway is
not to exceed 6 inches in depth, including off -site flows. A final drainage report and detention pond design
is required prior to recording the USR map.
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 Department 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, Rik Gay, 303-692-
3575.
Geologic Hazard Area:
This area IS NOT in a Geologic Hazard Area.
Floodplain:
This site is in a FEMA regulatory floodplain. A flood hazard development permit is required for any
development in the floodplain. Contact the floodplain planner Diana Aungst at 970-400-3524.
