(Department of Planning Services -Engineer) MEMORANDUM TO: Diana Aungst, Planning Services FROM: Evan Pinkham, Public Works SUBJECT: USR17-0025 Helburg DATE: June 23, 2017 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 A Use Permitted as a Use by Right, an Accessory Use, or a Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone Districts (commercial truck parking) provided that the property is not a lot in an approved or recorded subdivision plat or lots part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District This project is east of and adjacent to CR 55 and is north of CR 66. Parcel number 080122000081 . Access is from CR 55. 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. 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 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/. 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. 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 55 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. 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 55 was taken on 8/15/2012 which counted 3194 vpd with 48% trucks. A traffic narrative was submitted with the application materials and indicated that there will be approximately 19 daily roundtrips. The expected traffic routes are north and south along County Road 55 and distribution of traffic is estimated to be 50-50. TRACKING CONTROL POLICY Per Chapter 12, Appendix 12A.10.1, traffic volumes to the proposed facility may require the installation of a tracking control device and/or a minimum of four inches of compacted recycled asphalt or aggregate road base. 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. More than 10 round truck trips/day (tandem or semi -trucks) or more than 50 round passenger vehicles trips: • Access onto gravel roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300 feet of recycled asphalt or road base. • Access onto paved roads requires either a tracking control device and 100 feet of asphalt OR 300 feet of asphalt. *Note: Recycled concrete is not allowed in County right-of-way **Tracking control devices can be double cattle guards or rip rap (6" washed rock) ***Tracking control for unmaintained public right-of-way is required just prior to entering publicly maintained roadways. A variance request for alternatives to the above tracking control can be submitted to Public Works for review and consideration. IMPROVEMENTS AND ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Public Works may require 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 offsite improvements per Chapter 12, Article V, 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.weldclov com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Public%20Works/DevelopmentR eviewlsprusr.pdf. It will detail the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite 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. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL A. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for offsite improvements at this location. Road maintenance including, but not limited to dust control, damage repair, specified haul routes and future traffic triggers for improvements will be included. (Department of Public Works) B.

MEMORANDUM To: Diana Aungst, Planner June 1, 2017 From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer Subject: USR17-0025 Referral Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV17-00010) was noted. This violation was initiated due to the operation of a trucking company without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has NOT been forwarded to the County Attorney's Office; therefore, an investigation fee is NOT 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 forward these cases to the County Attorney's Office for legal action through the District Court process, but to delay that legal action for 30 (thirty) days to allow the applicant time to remove all but 1 (one) Commercial Vehicle (as an Accessory Use in the Ag Zone District) from the property.
