Planning
1. The proposed use of the property is a dog boarding and dog daycare facility (kennel). We will
provide outdoor and indoor play areas where the dogs will co -mingle. The building will consist of
an office for customers, and a multi -use room to act as a kitchen, dog bathing area, and
storage/cleaning supply closet. An ADA bathroom with a sink and toilet for customer use will
also be in the building. There will be a large area for dog crates in our indoor playroom, The dogs
wilt sleep in large black metal wire crates with beds that will be laundered after each use. The
building will be a metal pole barn or a wood modular barn. Premium insulation will be used for
sound barrier for any indoor barking.
The outside play area will be fully fenced with a combination of fencing types. On the west near
the parking area will be a picket fence surrounding an intake/customer area. The back yard will
have a privacy fence on the south west and south sides so dogs will not be able to see traffic and
thus will not bark at coming and going customer vehicles. A post and wire fence will be installed
on the remaining north west, north and east sides. The dog yards will be on the north, south and
east sides of the building. The yards wilt be natural grass vegetation that already exists on the
property, The driveway and parking area is to be crushed asphalt and will have adequate space
for two way traffic, for vehicles to park and turn around, and for emergency vehicle should they
ever be necessary,
Hours of operation when dogs will be permitted outside will be 7am -7pm 365 days a year.
Under no circumstance shall dogs be outdoors anytime from 7pm to 7am. Customer hours for
drop off and pick up of dogs will be Mon -Sun 7:00am-7:00pr . We will be closed to customers
on holidays and daycare will only be offered Monday-l`ridayl:OOam-7:0Opr. The only animals to
be boarded or to use the daycare facility are dogs of a non-specific breed over 6 months of age.
We are asking for a maximum capacity at any given time to be 30 dogs, which is to include any
combination of boarding and daycare dogs. The Department of Agriculture requires a
supervision ratio of one adult per every 15 dogs. Due to this requirement the two business
owners Brian and Sarah Carr will be the only needed employees on the premises. If any time off
is needed for any reason the business owner's parents will be helping out, they also live on site
and thus will create no extra traffic in the rare times they may volunteer.
2. It is the goal of Weld county to promote opportunities for county citizens while protecting their
private property rights with respect to our agricultural heritage and tradition. Weld County
historically has been one of the top ten agricultural producing counties in the country. My
husband and I want to contribute to this tradition in our own way. We believe our proposed
business will encourage economic prosperity and our dog boarding and daycare service will
support economic growth while maintaining a very rural lifestyle. Our property underwent a RE -
SE in January of 2016 and we purchased 3.3 acres which wilt retain the agricultural zoning. The
land is too small for anything larger than hobby farming as there are several outbuildings and
not enough land for large scale production. We wilt however, maintain the rural character by
keeping the natural landscape and vegetation on our land where we will be able to live and
work.
3. In the interest of keeping within weld county code, The Dog Barn LLC intends to keep its
business and property within guidelines throughout construction, operation and potential
eventual dissolving of the company. It has always been a priority for us that the land keeps as
much open and natural space as possible, In order to build the facility on our property we will
already be taking down existing structures to stay within our allowable covered square footage
for drainage purposes. We have made sure that with the design of the building, in the event of
the business dissolving, it can be easily utilized as an agricultural building. The heritage of Weld
County is one of agriculture, We plan to continue that tradition by keeping our business and
building as agricultural as possible with a classic red barn appearance. We plan to incorporate
the existing cattle feed trough into the design of the layout. This preserves the history of the
land being a cattle feed lot and the agricultural integrity of our community.
4. The surrounding land uses to our site include farming and homes. The land to the north of CR 72
is farm land, as is the land to the east. The land to the south is a 25 acre plot with a new home
under construction. The 3-4 acre lot to the west is also a home with a large outbuilding and is
where the business owner's parents reside. Our site has several outbuildings and is only a 3.3
Acre lot. Due to the size of the lot, location and number of outbuildings, it is not possible to use
our plot for agricultural large scale farming. Our use will, however preserve the integrity of the
agricultural use of the area by adding an agricultural building for our business and retaining as
much of the natural vegetation as possible.
5. Hours of operation when dogs will be permitted outside are Sunday -Saturday 7 am -7pm1
Business hours for customers are Monday —Sunday 7:00am-7:00pm.
6. The two owners will work full time.
7. One employee per every 15 dogs scheduled will work at any given time, as per the Department
of agriculture's requirement for supervision. This will be the owners Brian and Sarah Carr whom
are the current residents of the property.
8. People to use the site will include and are limited to the owners and customers.
9. The kennel will accommodate thirty dogs of a non-specific breed at any given time. This number
is to include both boarding and daycare dogs.
10. The property will accommodate a 3200 square foot building, a driveway and parking area made
of crushed asphalt measuring 8050 square feet (driveway) and 7200 square feet (parking). We
plan to add 9 large pine trees to the south property line. The rest of the lot surface will be
natural landscape,
11. Eight parking spaces, one of which will be ADA compliant, will be provided, and created from
crushed asphalt,
12. The existing landscape of the property is natural grass and it is not proposed to be changed in
any way other than the following additions. A driveway, parking area, fencing, and the proposed
building. A row of trees will be planted between the driveway and the south fence line giving a
screen and sound barrier between the business and the neighbors to the south.
13. An eight foot post and wire fence is to be used around the dog yards on the south, east and
north sides of the building. The west fence is to be an eight foot privacy fence. A four foot wood
picket fence will surround a 20 foot by 12 foot intake yard at the entrance of the building on the
west side. A seven foot wood privacy fence will be installed along the south property line to
block lights and help reduce sound for the neighbors to the south.
14. Screening for the parking area will be a seven foot wood privacy fence on the south property
line. There is no proposed storage at the sites
15. if termination is ever to occur of the USR there are no proposed reclamation procedures. The
business will maintain the character of an agriculturally zoned property. The proposed building
would be used as an agricultural barn building and the site would be used for agricultural
purposes. Leaving all aspects of the proposed property characteristics intact would easily
facilitate the transition if termination were ever to occur.
16, Severance Fire Authority will provide fire protection of the site, They are located at 18►1 Timber
Ridge Pkwy in Severance, 3.7 miles from our site.
17. There will be no off site improvements associated with our use. The proposed on site
improvements and the timeline for their completion are as follows:
-A crushed asphalt driveway and parking area: 1 week- 3years following approval of the
USR proposal
-A 3200 sq. ft, barn building: I. week -3 years following approval of the USR proposal,
-A row of trees along the south property line: 1 week- 3 years following approval of the
USR proposal.
-Fenced dog yards: 1 week- 3 years following approval of the USR proposal.
-Water from the existing meter to the proposed barn building: 1 week- 3years following
approval of the USR proposal.
-A new septic system and leach field to accommodate the proposed barn building: 1
week- 3yea rs following approval of the USR proposal.
Engineering
1. A maximum of thirty roundtrips per day by passenger cars or pickups is expected of customer
vehicles. Fifteen of these are expected in the morning and 15 in the evening.
2. The expected travel route for these vehicles is to enter the property on the proposed driveway
on the existing access road from CR 25, They will travel heading east to the parking area, then
exit the same way they came; heading west towards CR 25,
3. Travel distribution will be SO% from the north and 50% from the south on CR 25.
4. Highest traffic volume is expected to be 7:00-10:00 am (15 round trips) and 4:00-7:00pm (15
round trips) Monday —Sunday. No traffic on holidays.
5. Access to the site is planned to be at the existing agricultural access road to the property from
CR 25 along the south property line.
6. Drainage Narrative: Please see attached.
Environmental Health
1. The drinking water source for the property is a North Weld Water tap. The meter number is
79521034, and a letter frorn North Weld Water is attached
2. A new septic system is proposed for this property, and the permit will be submitted to the
county within six weeks of installation.
3. Not Applicable; storage or warehousing is not proposed for this property.
4, Not applicable; there will be no storage or stockpile of wastes, chemicals, or petroleum on this
site.
5. Not applicable; no fuel will be stored on this site.
6. Not applicable; no equipment or vehicles will be washed on this site.
7. Not applicable; floor drains are not proposed for this site.
8. Not applicable; there will be no air emissions on this site.
9. Not applicable; no design or operations plans are needed,
10. The nuisance management plan for the property is to plant noise reducing pine trees on the
south side of the property along the dog yard fence. We also plan to install a wood privacy fence
for the south and west fences. We will use premium insulation in the building to reduce noise. A
5-6 foot tall berm is already in place along the entire east property line to accommodate the
elevated concrete irrigation ditch that runs there. (Storm water flows east to west, away from
this irrigation ditch). This will also help reduce any nose or lights.
When dogs are properly taken care of and supervised they don't bark. It is when something is
wrong that barking happens. We are highly trained in dog management and will maintain a
happy, safe, stress free and quiet environment for the animals we are caring for. We are taking
measures in our planning to reduce the incidence of barking by planting trees on the south
property line and using privacy fencing on the south and west sides of the building. This will help
because the dogs will not see cars, customers, or neighbors and therefore will not bark at them.
If and when barking does happen those measures will help to disperse the sound.
Building
1. There are no existing structures on the property proposed for the USR. The proposed building
for the USR on the site is to be a 40 foot by 80 foot (3200 sq. ft.) metal pole barn or wood
modular barn.
2. No existing structures are to be used for this USR.
3. The proposed building is to be used for a dog daycare and dog boarding facility and will
accommodate a proposed 30 dogs of a non-specific breed. The building will contain a customer
office, ACA compliant bathroom, and a multi -purpose room for food prep, storage, cleaning,
and dog bathing. Overhead radiant heating will be used. A new septic system and new leach
field will be installed. Water will come from the water tap at CR 72 that provides service to the
existing home. Electrical service will also come from the home. Both water and electric have
adequate supply for both the existing home and the new building as per the North Weld Water
District (see attached) and licensed electricians whom have come to took at the site to quote us

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.
For new accesses and/or change of use of an existing access, the fee and photos are required (photo looking
left and right along roadway from the access point and looking in to and out of the access point). These photos
are used to evaluate the safety of the access location. Access permit instructions and application can be found
at https://www.weldgov.com/departments/public works/permits/. Chapter 6, Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 of the
Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria offer access design guidance, which can be accessed at:
https://www.weldgovecomidepartments/public works/engineering/.
Appendix 12-A of the county code can also be referenced. Existing access points with change of use or new
access points may or may not be granted. Questions pertaining to access permits or access design shall be
directed to the Public Works Department. Application Fee: temporary $75, single residential $75, small
commercial $75, industrial $150, field $0, large commercial $150, subdivision $150. This can be accessed at:
https://www.weldgov.comidepartments/public works/engineering/ .
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 for the recorded exemption but is recommended to
avoid property owner conflicts in the future.
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.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY:
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, traffic volumes to the proposed facility may require the installation of a
tracking control device and/or a minimum of four inches of compacted recycled asphalt or aggregate road
base. Tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public roadways. Minimal standards
are listed below. Temporary Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking
control is installed ahead of construction activities.
More than 10 round truck trips/day (tandem or semi -trucks) or more than 50 round passenger vehicles trips:
• Access onto gravel roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300 feet of recycled
asphalt or road base.
• Access onto paved roads requires either a tracking control device and 100 feet of asphalt OR 300 feet
of asphalt.
* Note: Recycled concrete is not allowed in County right-of-way
* *Tracking control devices can be double cattle guards or rip rap (6" washed rock)
* **Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-way is required just prior to entering publicly maintained
roadways.
A variance request for alternatives to the above tracking control can be submitted to Public Works for review
and consideration.
TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY REQUIREMENTS:
As part of the development review process, all new commercial or residential developments will be required to
submit a TIS that is prepared, stamped, and signed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of
Colorado, unless the TIS is waived by Public Works.
Traffic Narrative:
1. Describe how many roundtrips/day are expected for each vehicle type: Passenger Cars/Pickups,
Tandem Trucks, Semi-Truck/Trailer/RV (Roundtrip = 1 trip in and 1 trip out of site)
2. Describe the expected travel routes or haul routes for site traffic.
3. Describe the travel distribution along the routes (e.g. 50% of traffic will come from the north, 20% from
the south, 30% from the east, etc.)
4. Describe the time of day that you expect the highest traffic volumes.
Public Works will review the narrative and advise the applicant if more information or an engineered traffic
study is required.
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 offsite improvements per Chapter 12, Article V,
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/DevelopmentRevie
wlsprusr. pdf. It will detail the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite 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.
SITE MAP REQUIREMENTS:
A Site Plan will be required identifying the following (if applicable):
o Show and label location of existing road, existing road right-of-way, future road right-of-way, and
