COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Use
Permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial
Zone Districts (commercial parking and storage of trucks, trailers and equipment for a gas line installation
business - K.R. Swerdferger) provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision
plat or lots part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A
(Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is south of and adjacent to East 18t" Street and is east of Fern Avenue. Parcel number
096111000034.
Access is from CR East 18t" Street.
ACCESS
An Access Permit application was submitted with the application materials. Public Works will review the
application and provide an access permit and permit number if approved. Questions concerning access
requirements can be directed to Public Works access permit division.
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 weldgov com/departments/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, 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.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
East 18th Street 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 East 18th Street was taken on 7/26/2017 which counted 686 vpd with 21% trucks.
A traffic narrative was submitted with the application materials and indicated that there will be approximately
18 passenger vehicle and 4 truck daily roundtrips. The expected traffic route is west on East 18th Street
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.
4 to 10 round truck trips/day (tandem or semi -trucks):
• Access onto gravel roads requires recycled asphalt or road base on all driving surfaces.
• Access onto paved roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 100 feet of recycled
asphalt/road base OR 300 feet of asphalt. (Surface improvements less than 300 feet may be
allowed if site constraints would prohibit meeting condition.)
*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.
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.weldclov com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departmerts/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eviewlsprusr.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.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
A. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for offsite improvements at this
location. Road maintenance including, but not limited to dust control, damage repair, specified haul
routes and future traffic triggers for improvements will be included. (Department of Public Works)
B. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. East 18t" Street is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification
Map as a collector road which requires 80 feet of right-of-way at full buildout. The applicant shall
delineate on the site plan the future and existing right-of-way. All setbacks shall be measured from
the edge of future right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County. (Department of Public
Works)
2. Show and label the approved access(es) (APXX-XXXXX), and the appropriate turning radii (60')
on the site plan. (Department of Public Works)
3. Show and label the approved tracking control on the site plan. (Department of Public Works)
4. Show and label the entrance gate if applicable. 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. (Department of Public Works)
Prior to Construction:
A. The approved access and tracking control shall be constructed prior to on -site construction.
(Department of Public Works)
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS (NOTES ON THE SITE PLAN)
1. The property owner shall control noxious weeds on the site. (Department of Public Works)
2. The access on the site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages
and/or offsite tracking. (Department of Public Works)
3. There shall be no parking or staging of vehicles on public roads. On -site parking shall be utilized.

MEMORANDUM
To: Michael Hall, Planner August 31, 2017
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR17-0044 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00120) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a truck & equipment storage yard without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has NOT been forwarded to the County Attorney's
Office; therefore, an investigation fee is NOT 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 Department of Planning Services asks that the Board forward
these cases to the County Attorney's Office for legal action through the District Court process, but to delay
that legal action for 30 (thirty) days to allow the applicant time to remove all associated storage from the
property and to reduce to 1 (one) Commercial Vehicle or fewer.
