Mr. Gathman reported no correspondence received in conjunction with this application. He stated
the site is located within the three (3) mile referral area of the Towns of Frederick, Firestone, Erie
and the City of Dacono, and is within the Intergovernmental Agreement and Cooperative Planning
Agreement boundary for the Town of Frederick. He stated the Town of Frederick provided an
email for the record stating the proposal had been discussed and the Town was foregoing the
requirement for annexation, as RV and Boat Storage Facilities are not allowed in the Town limits
of Frederick. However, the Town requested the access onto Tipple Parkway be paved to reduce
mud and dirt tracking and, furthermore, they requested the right to require turn lanes to and from
the site if the need arises. Mr. Gathman explained the applicant signed an agreement with the
Town of Frederick regarding turn lanes and it is part of the record. He stated a total of 14 referrals
were sent out and 13 were received and have been addressed in consideration of Conditions and
Development Standards. He displayed photos and entered the favorable recommendation of the
Planning Commission into the record as written. In response to Mr. Haug, Mr. Gathman stated
the Recorded Exemption has already been approved and he will correct the legal description to
reflect: Lot B of Recorded Exemption, RECX17-0105.
11 Evan Pinkham, Department of Public Works representative, provided a brief overview of the
transportation plans and requirements to work with the Town of Frederick for the Access Permit.
Hayley Balzano, Planning Services Engineer representative, presented the drainage and
grading requirements and stated the applicant submitted a preliminary drainage report and a final
drainage report and detention pond design is required prior to recording the USR map. She further
reviewed the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards relevant to engineering.
A� = Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, reviewed the water and sewer
provisions and stated the use of a portable toilet is acceptable and the application indicates the
applicant will provide a portable toilet by the office site. She reported the application also indicated
the applicant may add a residence for an on -site manager and, if so, the existing septic system
will need to be reviewed. She stipulated the requirement for a permit if an RV Dump Station is
added and clarified there will be no washing of vehicles on -site. Ms. Light reported the noise is
limited to Commercial levels and she stated Development Standards (DS) #11-20 address typical
Environmental Health items.
David Goracke, applicant, stated he retired after 20 years of being a police officer and then
opened his own business fixing RVs and boats, sold the business, met Sharon McDonald and
considers her like a mother. He explained the application for the USR as an investment to make
money and to be available to care for his granddaughter. Mr. Goracke stated he would live in the
on -site residence, on Lot B, when it is built and he cited the benefits of the location and his
experience in both law enforcement and his prior business and how it works for all involved.
Ell Zack Santen, Town of Frederick Planning Department, reviewed the reasons for the
requests regarding paving and turn lanes. In response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, he clarified
RV and Boat Storage facilities are allowed in Town limits; however, the number allowed has been
reached based on space requirements and adjacent uses.

Matt LeCerf, Town Manager of Frederick, clarified the accesses from similar facilities are
paved and he reviewed the annexation regulations and stated the communication has been
positive with the applicant. In response to Commissioner Conway, he agreed that if this location
were annexed, the Use would be allowed to remain.
In response to Commissioner Conway, Mr. Goracke stated he would appreciate increasing
the number of employees to five (5) full-time and one (1) part-time employee. Ms. Light clarified
the septic requirements. In response to Commissioner Freeman, Commissioner Kirkmeyer
suggested amending the hours of operation to 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. The Board
agreed to the aforementioned changes.
Mr. Gathman interjected there is an existing hangar building for some indoor storage and an
office and the applicant would need a Change of Use Permit. Chair Cozad suggested a new
Condition of Approval (COA) #1.H to read, "The applicant shall apply for a building permit to
change the use of the existing hangar building."
Chair Cozad reviewed the changes for the applicant. In response to Chair Cozad,
Mr. Goracke indicated he has reviewed, and agrees to abide by, the Conditions of Approval and
Development Standards, as amended.
Eli Commissioner Moreno moved to approve the request of the Sharon McDonald Trust, c/o
David Goracke, for a Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR17-
