Memorandum
To: Kim Ogle
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: March 31, 2017
Re: USR17-0016 LLC
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 (RV and boat storage, a dump station, enclosed self -storage
and the parking and staging of Trash Containers, Roll offs, and Vehicles and/or
Equipment to pick up and deliver same) 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.
An individual well (80734-F) which states: "The use of ground water from this well is
limited to commercial and irrigation" will provide water. Mountain View Water
Association does not provide water to this site.
There is an existing bathroom in the building, however the septic system is not
permitted. The application indicates a new septic system will be installed. If the
existing restroom is utilized the system must be permitted and an adequate water
source shall be provided. Portable toilets and bottled water can be utilized in
accordance with EH division policy.
It appears that there may be various business's that locate on the site in the future in
the flex buildings. As the application does not state what types of companies will be
present on site, various development standards have been suggested to address
different uses.
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.

Re: Weld County Referral USR17-0016
Dear Mr. Kim:
Colorado Parks and Wildlife appreciates the opportunity to comment on the above referenced
project concerning a recreational vehicle storage facility. District Wildlife Manager Chris
Mettenbrink reviewed the plans for the proposal and visited the site to assess potential impacts
the project may have on wildlife.
The proposed project site is inhabited by a colony of black -tailed prairie dogs. There are burrows
throughout the property. In addition to prairie dogs, other wildlife species dependent upon
prairie dogs and their burrow systems may be found on site. Of these, the primary species of
concern is the burrowing owl which is a state threatened species. Burrowing owls begin arriving on
the breeding grounds in Colorado in late March or early April and begin nesting a few weeks later.
Burrowing owls utilize prairie dog burrows for nesting and raising their young. If construction onset
is to begin between March 15th to October 315, we recommend that the prairie dog town be
surveyed for burrowing owls. Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommendations for surveying for
burrowing owls may be found at the following link:
http:J/cpw.stateco.uslDocuments!Wildlife pecies/Profiles/BUOWSu rveyProtocol2007.pdf. If the
applicant is not able to perform the survey, a wildlife consultant should be hired to conduct the
work.
In addition, prior to any dirt work being performed, any prairie dogs in the footprint of the
construction site should be humanely euthanized according to USDA standards. Once the prairie
dogs have been euthanized, their burrows should be back filled to prevent other prairie dogs or
other wildlife such as burrowing owls from occupying the burrows.
If burrowing owls are detected on the property, the applicant should contact District Wildlife
Manager Chris Mettenbrink at 303-906-1979 for advice on how to proceed with the proposed
project. Any other questions regarding wildlife on the property may be directed to Chris as well.
Tank you,
Larry Rogstad

Director/State Engineer
This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-
101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11,
2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory
review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not
address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water
supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments
provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the
issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water.
The Applicant is seeking 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 (RV and boat storage, a dump station, enclosed self -
storage and the parking and staging of trash containers, roll offs, and vehicle and/or
equipment to pick up and deliver same) 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 subdivision in the A zone district. According to the submitted
information porta potty facilities will be available as needed and drinking water will be
brought in as needed during construction. The Applicant has also obtained well permit no.
304501.
Well permit no. 304501 was issued on February 8, 2017 for ordinary household purposes inside
not more than three single family dwellings, the watering of poultry, domestic animals and
livestock on a farm or ranch and the irrigation of not more than one acre of home gardens and
lawns. The well permit was issued for the nontributary Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer. Our office
does not have evidence that this well is constructed. Based on the provided information it
appears that the proposed use of the well is restrooms associated with the commercial
business and commercial landscape irrigation. From the provided information there do not
appear to be any residential uses associated with the property. As permitted the well

cannot be used to serve the commercial business or be used to water landscaping
associated with such business. Prior to using a well for such purposes a well permit
allowing such uses must be obtained.
Furthermore, the applicant should be aware that any proposed detention pond for this
project, must meet the requirements of a "storm water detention and infiltration facility" as
defined in section 37-92-602(8), Colorado Revised Statutes, to be exempt from administration
by this office. The applicant should review DWR's Administrative Statement Regarding the
Management of Storm Water Detention Facilities and Post-Wildland Fire Facilities in
Colorado, attached, to ensure that the notification, construction and operation of the
proposed structure meets statutory and administrative requirements. The applicant is
encouraged to use Colorado Stormwater Detention and infiltration Facility Notification
Portal, located at https://maperture.digitaldataservices.com/gvh/?viewer=cswdif, to meet
the notification requirements.
The ability for the applicant to obtain a well permit that allows commercial uses will be
evaluated at the time that the well permit application is submitted to our offce. If you, or the
applicant, have any questions please contact me at 303-866-3581 x8265.

Subject: Re: Well Permit No. 80734-F
Dear Kim,
It was a pleasure to meet the staff up at Weld County last month. Regarding this proposal, I am uncertain what
"light industrial" is referring to, so I am unable to provide comment on that. In general though, when our office
refers to "industrial" uses we are typically thinking about water required to complete industrial processes (cooling
tower at a power plant, oil and gas operations, et cetera). "Commercial" use typically refers to drinking and
sanitary use inside a commercial business (drinking and sanitary purposes in an office, hotel, commercial kitchen,
et cetera). Based on the uses described it sounds like the water might just be used for drinking and sanitary
purposes, which would fit the "commercial" use category.
Permit no. 80734-F was issued on March 24, 2017 for commercial and irrigation purposes not to exceed an average
of 26.3 acre-feet of withdrawal per year. Without knowing how much water the applicant might use for
commercial and irrigation purposes I cannot say if they will stay within their yearly volume limit, but from what
they describe I would be quite surprised if they will pump more than 26.3 acre-feet in any given year. Based on
what was described it would appear the proposed use of the well fits the permitted uses of the well.
It should be noted that permit no. 80734-F will expire on March 24, 2018 unless a well is constructed and a pump
is installed (and reports are submitted) before the expiration date, or the applicant obtains an extension to the
expiration date.
Without more information regarding the contemplated subdivision it is difficult to discuss possible scenarios.
Permit no. 80734-F should not be used for residential purposes, including supplying water to a residential
subdivision. However, if the applicant is discussing a commercial subdivision there may be a way to use this
existing well for the subdivision. I would be happy to discuss the possibility further once you know more.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hello Karlyn and good afternoon,
First, thank you for your insightful presentation at the recent Planning Commissioners luncheon. We appreciate
the time taken in traveling to Greeley and the presentation on Colorado water law.
I have a land use case that is requesting the following activities to be permitted on a piece of property of
approximately 74 acres
The applicant/property owner is requesting the following activities:
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 (RV and boat storage, a
dump station, enclosed self -storage and the parking and staging of Trash Containers, Roll offs, and Vehicles and/or
Equipment to pick up and deliver same) 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.
In addition to these activities, the applicant is proposing the following uses. The attached is a narrative provided
by the applicant:
Warehouse units: The individual units are not leased and therefore the tenants are not known.
They could be a wide range of commercial uses and we are happy to limit them if there is a specific use that is not
suitable, i.e. auto body work. Generally they would be uses in a light industrial zone with less noise, dust etc.
Each unit would most have at a minimum.
1. A small office
2. A bathroom or bathrooms
3. A kitchen breakroom may be included when there are multiple employees
4. Parking would be required if it was office uses or distribution where multiple employees were present,
including adequate handicap spaces. County parking requirements would be followed for size of office or
warehouse buildings. It is highly unlikely that medical which requires more parking would be located in
this development.
5. There would probably be some commercial vehicles associated with each building and garage bays for
parking, loading etc. Any parking long term for vehicles could be screened from neighbors. Any outside
storage would be fenced and screened.
6. Landscaping would be provided around each building and especially screening from adjacent neighbors.
7. Deliveries would occur depending on the various tenants, not knowing the specific tenants makes this
difficult to estimate. Even if the tenant was known, the tenant could change and the requirements for
delivery could change.
The intent is to group commercial light industrial uses that are compatible and not intrusive to the neighborhood,
the developer is open to general guidelines limiting uses to certain types of small businesses.
Planning and Environmental Health Staff have concerns with the multiple uses potentially occurring on
the property and are seeking confirmation that the currently well permit for this property can serve the
needs of all activities.
Also, should the property be subdivided in the future, does the use of this same well change?
Thank you for your comments.
