DATE: April 13, 2018
FROM: Hayley Balzano, Public Works
SUBJECT: USR18-0025 Prieto
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: Storage of semi trucks
This project is north of and adjacent to CR 44 and is west of and adjacent to CR 47.
Parcel number 105514400022.
Access is from CR 47.
ACCESS
An Access Permit application was submitted with the application materials. Public Works has reviewed the
application and provides the following recommendation for access locations based on County code and
safety criteria in accordance with the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria. The existing
access on CR47, approximately 370 feet north of CR 44, meets safety and spacing criteria. The access
approach for small commercial uses is required to have a 60' turning radii. Questions concerning access
requirements can be directed to Public Works access permit division.
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/.
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 44 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) arterial road, which requires 140 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 Ill, 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.
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 47 counted 135 vpd with 32% trucks.
The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be up to
approximately 7 semi daily roundtrips, 7 passenger vehicle round trips for employees, and residential traffic.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
The traffic proposed for the site requires recycled asphalt or road base on all driving surfaces for access
onto a gravel road. If any asphalt or road base is added to the site, this may trigger the requirements for a
drainage report and detention pond design. 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.weldqov.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:
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 meets exception 1.a.8 for sites where
the development of the site does not increase the imperviousness of the site.
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.

MEMORANDUM
To: Michael Hall, Planner March 22, 2018
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR18-0025 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00149) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the presence of a commercial trucking operation without first completing the
necessary Weld County Zoning Permits or 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, the case will continue through the County Court process until all
but 1 (one) Commercial Vehicle (which is allowed as an Accessory Use in the Ag Zone District) are
removed from the property.
