FROM: Hayley Balzano, Public Works
SUBJECT: USR18-0044 United Civil Design Group
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: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for Mineral
Resource Development Facilities including Concrete Batch Plant, material stockpiles, an office, outdoor
truck and employee parking in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is nortth of and adjacent to CR 58 and is east of Weld County Parkway.
Parcel number 096112000130.
Access is from CR 58.
ACCESS
An outdated Access Permit application was submitted with the application materials.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. The
proposed shared use of an existing access point follows the County code but it does NOT meet the spacing
criteria. The physical location of the access road shall be located with respect to the property line. If it falls
outside the boundaries of the subject property and easement shall be obtained. If it falls within the
boundaries of the subject property and there is no easement with adjacent users the access shall be
relocated to meet the spacing criteria. There is also an existing oil and gas access approx. 1915 ft. east of
the Weld County Pkwy. This point does not meet spacing criteria and the applicant/landowner shall work
with the appropriate oil and gas company to make arrangements for consolidation with the main access for
the project. 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 httqs://www.weldclov.com/departments/qublIc 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 corn/departments/public works/encvneering/.
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 58 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 58 counted 383 vpd with 22% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 80
daily roundtrips. 60-75 of these would be trucks.
The Traffic Impact Study indicated 8-9 west bound turns onto County Road 58, 2-3 east bound turns onto
County Road 58, 8-9 east bound turns into the site from County Road 58, and 2-3 west bound turns into
the site from County Road 58 within the peak hours.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
Based upon the submitted Traffic Impact Study, the site is required to have tracking control of 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 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 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/Departments/Publie/020Works/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 is required
prior to recording the USR Map. A checklist is available upon request.
The drainage report indicates that flows from the pond may go into an irrigation ditch. If this is the case,
permission from the irrigation company is required. Please contact Public Works with any questions.
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.
