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 an accessory
buildings with gross floor area larger than four percent (4%) of the total lot area, as stated in Section 23-3-
30, per building on lots in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots part of a map or plan field prior
to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is north of and adjacent to East 18th Street and is west of Fern Avenue.
Parcel number 096110403003.
Access is from East 18th Street.
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 appear to
currently be three (3) existing access points to the proposed USR boundary. The western two access
points do not meet the spacing criteria and shall be closed and reclaimed. The third access point is aligned
with the intersection of Fern Ave. & E 18th St. The western most access doesn't appear to be completely
within the boundaries of the proposed USR. This should be located with respect to the property line to
ensure no trespassing occurs. 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/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
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.
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.

To: Diana Aungst, Planner July 30, 2018
From: Hannah Dutrow& Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR18-0070 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00337)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of an accessory building with a gross floor area exceeding 4%
of the total lot area without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits and 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, this case will proceed accordingly in court.

SE1% SE1/4 Sec. 10, T5N, R65W, 6th P.M. (2559 E 18th Street, Greeley)
Water Division 1, Water District 3
Dear Ms. Aungst:
We have reviewed the above referenced Site Specific Development Plan and Use by
Special Review to allow for an accessory building with a gross floor area greater than 4%
of the total lot area. The submitted material does not qualify as a "subdivision" as
defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's
March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office
will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide comments. The
comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this property or the
ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements.
The application seeks to construct a 37,500 square foot riding arena on the subject
5.52-acres. There is already an existing 18,205 square foot horse barn on the property.
According to the submitted information, the facilities are not used for a business, but are
anticipated to be used by 15-20 friends and family members at different times.
The proposed water supply is bottled water for human consumption, and pre-
existing wells for livestock. This office does not have record of any permitted wells
located on the subject property. So long as the existing well(s) were constructed and put
to beneficial use for the watering of domestic animals and/or livestock on a farm or ranch
prior to May 8, 1972, they may continue to be used for this same purpose without the
need to obtain a well permit. If the property is part of a future residential real estate
transaction, the buyer will be required to submit an application to register the well(s)
with this office within 60 days of closing.
This office does note that there are potentially two decreed surface water rights
associated with the property. The Nelson Ditch Pumping Plant 10 (WDID 0201009) was
decreed in case no. 79CW382 for irrigation use. Smith Pond No. 1 (WDID 0203725) was
decreed in case no. 79CW383 for fish cultivation and irrigation purposes, in combination
with the Nelson Ditch Pumping Plants. The source of water for both rights is natural
runoff, seepage, and irrigation return flows. Both structures are limited to operating in
priority, and neither is decreed for domestic animal/ livestock watering use.
