TO: Diana Aungst, Planning Services
DATE: March 27, 2018
FROM: Hayley Balzano, Public Works
SUBJECT: USR18-0015 Jaehn
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: Event Venue
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 66 and is west of CR 43.
Parcel number 080321000048.
Access is from CR 66.
ACCESS
An Access Permit application was not submitted with the application materials. Public Works has reviewed
the submitted materials and provides a recommendation for access locations based on County code and
safety criteria in accordance with the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria. There are two
existing access points to the property. The western access point does not comply with the spacing
requirements for a collector roadway (330' between adjacent points) and shall be closed and reclaimed.
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 66 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.
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 66 counted 597 vpd with 36% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicates that there will be approximately 65
vehicle round trips for events. This traffic will generally occur on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, after 5
pm.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, tracking control is required to prevent tracking from the site onto public
roadways. Since the site has more than 50 passenger vehicle round trips, access on to County Road 66
requires either a tracking control device and 100 feet of asphalt OR 300 feet of asphalt. 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). A variance request for alternatives to the tracking
control requirement can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration.
IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works is requiring 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.weldclov com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/DepartmentsIPublic%20WorksIDevelopmentR
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 waived and a simple drainage narrative:
The applicant has submitted a drainage narrative stating that the site will meet exception 23-12-30.F.1.a.8
for sites where the development of the sites does not change the imperviousness of the site. The applicant
is not proposing any changes to the physical site at this time.
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 riot 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.

Provide written responses to the comments below. A Word document has been provided for your
convenience.
General
❑ Advisory. The subject site is within the City of Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth
Area, which means the community anticipates development occurring in this area in the
next 20+ years. The following recommendations are to increase the compatibility of this
site with the City's existing development and to avoid non -conforming conditions in the
future.
❑ Advisory. Per Greeley Development Code, event centers require one parking space per
four persons at maximum capacity. If the maximum capacity is 150 people, this would
require 38 parking spaces. The narrative indicates there are 40 spaces proposed, but the
site plan only appears to show 35 spaces.
❑ Advisory. Parking lots are to be screened from view from adjacent properties and rights -
of -way. Screening should consist of landscaping, berming, fencing or walls.
❑ Advisory. All lights should be directed downward and shielded so that there is no spillage
beyond the property line.
❑ Advisory. Due to the event center use being of a higher intensity than the neighboring
properties, it is suggested that a buffer yard be installed along the northern perimeter of the
lot, where the ceremony and reception area are to be located.

General
❑ City of Greeley's 2035 Comprehensive Transportation Plan indicates that CR 66 will be a
2 lane collector roadway requiring a 90' total public right of way (45' half right of way).
Please ensure that the site map calls out the future north half of the right of way for CR
66 and that all proposed structures (buildings and paved areas) are set back a minimum of
25 feet from the future right of way line.
❑ Advisory. The subject property is located within the City of Greeley Long Range Expected
Growth Area (LREGA). If in the future, water and sanitary sewer service are requested
from the City for the subject property, then annexation into the City of Greeley will be
required prior to the City of Greeley providing utility service. The City of Greeley does
not currently have utilities in the immediate area surrounding the subject property.
❑ Advisory. The City of Greeley and North Weld County Water District (NWCWD) have
adopted a Water Service Agreement for providing water in this area. Please note that if
additional water services are requested then the City of Greeley will decide if water will be
provided by the City of Greeley or NWCWD in accordance with the executed Water
Service Agreement; dated February 5th, 2013. The City takes no issue with the proposal.
