DATE: March 15, 2018
FROM: Evan Pinkham, Public Works
SUBJECT: USR18-0009 Windyka
The Weld County Department of Public Works has reviewed this proposal. Staff comments made during

remaining application process.
COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a kennel facility
(for up to 17 dogs and 2 cats) and any use permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by
Special Review in the Commercial or industrial zone districts, provided that the property is not a Lot in an
approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations
controlling subdivisions automobile repair facility in the A(Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 54.5 and is west of Davis Road.
Parcel number 096320400034.
Access is from CR 54.5.
ACCESS
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. Utilize existing access.
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 weldgov com/departmerits/public works/engineering/.
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 54.5 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.
Per Chapter 12, Article 4, 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 comldepartmentslpublicworks/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.
TRAFFIC
Latest ADT on CR 54.5 counted 1198 vpd with 12% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 1-
2 monthly roundtrips.
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. Temporary
Tracking Control shall be used during construction unless permanent tracking control is installed ahead of
construction activities. 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 tracking control requirement can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration.
Less than 20 passenger vehicle round trips/day, no upfront tracking control requirements.
Drainage Requirements:
This area IS within an Urbanizing Drainage Area:
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, 5 -year storm
falling on the undeveloped site for URBANIZING areas.
Detention pond waived and a simple drainage narrative:

conditions. Requirements of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
areas remain applicable.
8) Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the
imperviousness of the site.
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

depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering
representative from the Public Works for more information.

MEMORANDUM
To: Chris Gathman, Planner February 15, 2018
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR18-0009 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00129) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of more than 4 (four) dogs and a commercial auto repair and/or
storage without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits or Building Permits. This
case has been forwarded to the County Attorney's Office; therefore, an investigation fee IS required.
Due to records release laws, staff no longer tracks complainant information, but please be aware it is
staff's policy to no longer accept staff initiated complaints.
Approval of this application by the Board of County Commissioners would correct the outstanding
violations. If this application is denied, the case will continue through the County Court process until the
violations are removed from the property.
