remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
General Project Information/Location:
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for any use
permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial
Zone Districts, (commercial tree service business) provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or
recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling
subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is south of and adjacent to CR 54 and is west of and adjacent to CR 43. Parcel number
096128000034.
Access is from CR 43.
Access:
An Access Permit application was submitted with the application materials. Public Works will review the
application and provide an access permit and permit number if approved. Questions concerning access
requirements can be directed to Public Works access permit division.
Chapter 6, Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 of the Weld County Engineering and Construction Criteria, offer
access design guidance. (This document can be found at:
https://www.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/Engineering/W
CECC%20Manual.pdf Existing access points with change of use or new access points may or may not be
granted. Questions pertaining to access permits or access design shall be directed to the Public Works
Department.
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 not 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 43 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a
collector road, which requires 80 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.
County Road 54 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a
collector road, which requires 80 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 traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately 20
daily roundtrips.
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.
4 to 10 round truck trips/day (tandem or semi -trucks):
• Access onto gravel roads requires recycled asphalt or road base on all driving surfaces.
• Access onto paved roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 100ft of recycled
asphalt/road base OR 300ft of asphalt. (SURFACE IMPROVEMENTS LESS THAN 300 FT MAY
BE ALLOWED IF SITE CONSTRAINTS WOULD PROHIBIT MEETING CONDITION.)
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.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:

Memorandum
To: Kim Ogle
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: April 24, 2017
Re: USR17-0019 Menjivar
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for any use permitted as a Use
by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the commercial or Industrial
Zone Districts, (commercial tree service business) provided that the property is not a lot
in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots parts of a map or plan filed prior to
adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
Central Weld Water District provides water. The residence has a septic system which is
not permitted. A Statement of existing (SE -1700005) was completed on March 6, 2017.
The system was not failing at the time of inspection. If the system is utilized in
conjunction with the business an engineer's review is required. A portable toilet and
bottled water can be used for employees who are on site for 2 consecutive hours or less
and 2 or less full time employees on site. The applicants indicated the proposed new
building will have a restroom for employees.
There will be minor maintenance done on site but there will be no washing of vehicles or
equipment. Noise will be restricted to the commercial zone which the applicant
indicates can be met when splitting wood on site.
We recommend that the following requirements be 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.) 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,

MEMORANDUM
To: Kim Ogle, Planner April 5, 2017
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR17-0019 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV16-00140) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the parking of commercial vehicles, storage of firewood and mulch and
employee parking associated with Menjivar Tree Trimming without first completing the necessary Weld
County Zoning 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 Department of Planning Services asks that the Board be
advised that the applicant through the existing court case (17-C-31375) has 30 days, from denial, to
remove all but 1 Commercial Vehicle from the property.
SERVICE. TEAMWORK, INTEGRITY, QUALITY
