remaining application process.
COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review Permit for Mineral Resource
Development Facilities including Oil and Gas Support and Service including (Liquid Capture Facility to
capture and stabilize drip condensate and related equipment) a permanent laydown storage yard, and up
to five (5) construction office trailers and eight (8) conex containers for use during the construction of the
facility in the A (Agricultural) Zone [Colt Station Liquid Capture Facility and Laydown Yard]
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 34.5 and is east of CR 47.
Parcel number 12131210000.
Access is from CR 34.5.
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. Shared use of
an existing access point meets the code and spacing requirements. 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.
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 34.5 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 47 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.
The County Highway is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code Ordinance
2017-01) as an arterial road, which requires a minimum of 140 feet of right-of-way, or 180 feet of right-of-
way in some locations.Weld County is currently in the process of widening this corridor,which is anticipated
to be completed at the end of 2018. Contact Public Works for the location of the current right-of-way
alignment and easements so they can be delineated accurately on the map. If the right-of-way cannot be
verified it shall be dedicated. The applicant shall also delineate the physical location of the road. 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. 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.weldqov.com/departments/publIcworks/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 34.5 counted 152 vpd with 19%trucks.
When the site is operational, up to 2 pickup trucks are expected to stop by the site per day. In the situation
that the pipeline is not available, up to 4 tanker trucks per day could be used to haul product from the site.
When the laydown yard is being used, up to 4 semi-trucks could access the site per day.
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.
ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
Public Works is requiring Road Maintenance Agreement including, but is not limited to, dust control and
damage repair to specified haul routes.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR
eview/sprusr.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:
A 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. General drainage report checklist is available on the engineering website. More complete
checklists are available upon request.

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
