DATE: April 24, 2017
RE: USR17-0020 BONANZA CREEK
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a 190 foot communication
tower. As no employees will be located at the site, permanent water and sewer is not
required. Portable toilets and hand washing units can be utilized during construction of
the tower. Bottled water is sufficient for drinking provisions during construction.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
requirements are incorporated into the permit as development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S., as amended) shall be stored and removed for
final disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater
contamination.
2. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is not
meant to include those wastes specifically excluded from the definition of a solid
waste in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.,
as amended.
3. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that controls
fugitive dust, fugitive particulate emissions, blowing debris, and other potential
nuisance conditions. The applicant shall operate in accordance with Chapter 14,

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 a 190 -foot tall
telecommunications tower in the A (Agricultural) Zone District
This project is east of CR 69 and is north of Highway 34. Parcel number 096716100001.
Access is from CR 69.
Access:
An access permit has been approved for the access to the site (AP16-00384).
AP16-00384 Special Requirements or Comments:
"Parcel 096526100001 & 096719100002. Utilize existing access point on CR 69 (1-O&G) located approx.
4520 ft. North of CR 50. SUBX16-0010, USR16-0023."
For shared accesses, Public Works strongly recommends that 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 riot a requirement for the recorded exemption but is recommended
to avoid property owner conflicts in the future.
Entrance gates (if applicable) must be set back a minimum of 100 feet from edge of shoulder to allow a
truck with trailer or RV to pull completely off of the roadway and open the gate. In no case shall any
vehicle(s) stopped to open a gate be allowed to create a safety issue for roadway users.
When feasible, there shall be no net increase in the number of accesses to a public road. Contact Public
Works to discuss your access.
Roads:
County Road 69 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a local
road, which requires 60 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.
The County Road 69 Section Line is estimated to have 30 feet of unmaintained section line right-of-way
per the Weld County GIS right-of-way map. The applicant shall delineate the existing right-of-way on the
site plan. All setbacks shall be measured from the edge of right-of-way.
The County Road 56 Section Line is estimated to have 30 feet of unmaintained section line right-of-way
per the Weld County GIS right-of-way map. The applicant shall delineate the existing right-of-way on the
site plan. All setbacks shall be measured from the edge of right-of-way.
Traffic:
Latest ADT on CR 69 was taken on 10/7/2014 which counted 860 vpd with 32% trucks.
TRACKING CONTROL:
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.
Less than 20 passenger vehicle round trips/day, no upfront tracking control requirements.
Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement:
No improvements agreement will be required as the anticipated traffic is less than 21 round truck trips/day
or 50 round passenger vehicle trips/day or if defined as a Site Plan Review (SPR). A development standard
will be applied to the recorded map indicating any impacts to the road must be mitigated by the owner. The
access on the site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or
offsite tracking.
