DATE: February 21, 2018
FROM: Hayley Balzano, Public Works
SUBJECT: 1MJUSR18-15-0078 Circle B Land Company LLC
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: Amend USR15-0078 to include a compressor station
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 52 and is west of and adjacent to CR 93.
Parcel number 096927400002.
Access is from CR 52.
ACCESS
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
proposed access point shall comply with AP17-00668 which includes the closure of and existing ag access
point on the eastern portion of the property. 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.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 52 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) local road, which requires 60 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.
County Road 93 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 site plan or plat. The applicant shall delineate on the site map or 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.
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
No traffic counts are available in the area.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that during construction, there will
be approximately 20 work truck/delivery truck daily roundtrips, 20 semi truck round trips, and 20 gravel truck
roundtrips per day. Once the site is operating, there will be approximately 2 passenger vehicle round trips
per day.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
The site will be required to include tracking control during the construction phase. This will be addressed in
the grading permit.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
This project will be required to have an Improvements Agreement for road maintenance, construction
maintenance, and potential access 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.weldov 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. A final drainage report and detention
pond design shall be completed by a Colorado Licensed Professional Engineer and adhere to the drainage
related sections of the Weld County Code. The drainage report must include a certification of compliance
stamped and signed by the PE which can be found on the engineering website. Comments are available
upon request.
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 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, 303-692-3575.
