DATE: August 4, 2016
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 USE 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, (EVENT CENTER FOR UP TO 200
PEOPLE, ALONG WITH AN OPERATING OFFICE AND SHOP FOR TACK SALES) 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 north of CR 22 and is east of CR 41. Parcel number 130710100012.
Access is from CR 22.
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.
An Access Permit is required. For new accesses and/or change of use of an existing access, the fee and
photos are required (Access permit instructions and application can be found at
http:Ilwww.co.weld.co.uslDepartments/PublicWorksIPermits html.) 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
http://www.co.weld.co.us/Departments/PublicWorks/EnqineerinclandRightofWay/EnqineerinqCriteraandP
olicies.html) 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 22 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a
arterial road, which requires 140 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.
Traffic:
Latest ADT on CR 22 was taken on 10/9/2013 which counted 2004 vpd with 69% trucks.
A traffic narrative was submitted with the application materials and indicated that there will be approximately
80 daily roundtrips. The expected traffic routes are eastbound and westbound CR 22 and distribution of
traffic is estimated to be 60% eastbound and 40% westbound. The site will have 1 full time employee
working during daylight hours.
Roadways Improvements may be triggered due to traffic associated with the facility. These triggers will be
included within the improvements and road maintenance agreement:
A. 10 vph during peak hour turning left into the facility -left deceleration lane
B. 25 vph during peak hour turning right into the facility -right deceleration lane
C. 50 vph during peak hour turning right out of the facility -right acceleration lane.
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.
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 300ft of recycled
asphalt or road base.
• Access onto paved roads requires either a tracking control devise and 100ft of asphalt OR 300ft of
asphalt.
*Recycled concrete is not allowed in County ROW
**Tracking control devices can be double cattle guards or other specialized device
*** Tracking control for unmaintained public ROW is required just prior to entering publically maintained
roadways.
A development standard will be included on the recorded site plan. "The access shall be maintained to
mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or offsite tracking."
Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement:
An Improvements Agreement between the Applicant and the County will be required for this project. Items
may include the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite improvements will be triggered, and include a
maintenance agreement for the haul routes.
Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
http://www.co.weld.co. us/Departments/PlanningZoning/LandUseApplicationsAssistance/ApplicationAssist
ance. html
An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required offsite improvements. Collateral is
required to ensure the improvements are made.
Road Maintenance is typically included as a section of the Improvements Agreement when the
County feels that the site activities may impact the County roadways. 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 dust control, damage repair, specified haul routes and future
traffic triggers for improvements will be included. (Department of Public Works)
B. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. County Road 22 is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan
as a arterial road which requires 140 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. (Department of Public
Works)
2. Show and label the approved access(es) (APXX-XXXXX), and the appropriate turning radii on the
site plan. (Department of Public Works)
3. Show and label the approved tracking control on the site plan.
4. Show and label the entrance gate set back a minimum of 100ft from edge of shoulder. (Department

Case No. USR16-0029
Portion of the NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 10, T2N, R65W
Water Division 1, Water District 2
Dear Mr. Gathman:
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 application is for a site specific development plan and use by special use permit for an
equestrian event center for up to 200 people, a riding arena, f/a mile practice track, barns and
pasture for 40 horses an operating office, a shop for tack sales, gardens, and a caregiver
apartment on a 15 acre parcel identified as Lot A of RE -4329. The proposed water supply is an
existing well on the adjacent 29.36 acre parcel immediately west of the subject property,
which currently operates under well permit no. 67932-F. No estimates of water use for the
proposed project were provided.
Well permit no. 67932-F was issued on March 16, 2009 pursuant to Section 37-90-137(4) and
the findings of the State Engineer dated March 16, 2009 to withdrawal water from the
nontributary Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer underlying a 29.4 acre parcel using an existing well.
The uses of this well are limited to commercial and domestic purposes, not to exceed 3 acre-
feet per year. No information was provided regarding how this well is currently used on the
29.4 acre site where it is located. The application materials mention that there are as much
as 6.8 acre-feet of water available for withdrawal underlying the 29.4 acre parcel subject to
permit no. 67932-F. Though this water may be located under the parcel, only the amount
allowed to be withdrawn pursuant to permit no. 67932-F, 3 acre-feet per year, may be
utilized until such a time as the applicant obtains a permit to withdrawal a larger amount of
water from the Laramie -Fox Hills aquifer underlying the property.

Case No. USR16-0029 Page 2 of 2
August 23, 2016
Though the currently permitted uses of the well appear to fit the proposed uses described in
the application, it is unclear if the existing well permit, or a well permit with an increased
withdrawal capability, could provide enough water to satisfy the proposed project. The
Division of Water Resource does not administer or enforce shared well agreements. However,
should the applicant share the well between the two properties, we encourage them to
obtain a well sharing agreement so that each party knows their rights and responsibilities
associated with the well.
The application materials indicate that a storm water detention structure may be constructed
as a part of this project. The applicant should be aware that, unless the structure can meet
the requirements of a "storm water detention and infiltration facility" as defined in section
37-92-602(8), Colorado Revised Statutes, the structure may be subject to 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 well must operate in accordance with all terms and conditions of well permit no. 67932-
F. From the information provided it is unclear if the well operated under permit no. 67932-F
can supply an adequate amount under the terms and conditions of the well permit to meet
the water requirements of the proposed project and any existing water commitments. If you,
or the applicant, have any questions please contact Karlyn Armstrong at 303-866-3581 x8275.
Sincerely,
Qannzi Williams, P.E.
Water Resource Engineer
