MEMORANDUM
To: Chris Gathman, Planner September 22, 2016
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR16-0035 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV16-00042) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the parking and storage of construction vehicles, materials and equipment
along with offices associated with the construction company and the utilization of camper/trailer-RV as a
dwelling unit without first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not been
presented to the Weld County Court Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process. Since this
application was submitted prior to an actual court date being scheduled, NO 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.
This violation was initiated on May 4, 2016.
If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners and once a plat is recorded will
correct this outstanding violation. If this application is denied, staff is requesting that the Board of County
Commissioners refer this case to the County Attorney's Office to proceed with legal, but to delay legal
action for 30 (thirty) days so that all commercial storage/parking and RV -Camper -Trailers can be removed
from the property.

Department of Planning Services
Dear Mr. Gathman,
Thank you for referring project USR16-0035 to Central Weld County Water District (CWCWD) for
review. Parcel # 146725000058 is currently being served with water through tap #1825.
The application indicates that CWCWD water will be used for commercial activity (office, house
and RV parking spots) on this property. If tap #1825 is connected to lines that provide water for
commercial activity the District will have additional requirements for backflow prevention. For
properties with commercial activity we may require a Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) backflow
assembly to be installed after the meter as containment. The tap holder can contact Dean Clarkin at
our office to determine the exact requirements for their property, as instructions for installation are
specific to the property and a full survey of the tap holder's water usage practices for their business
may be required.
A water tap installation is for a specific parcel of property and in no case will a customer be permitted
to extend a service line from one parcel or property to another parcel to provide additional water
service. Also, the District has the right to review the annual allotment and compare it to actual usage
to determine if additional raw water will be required to be transferred to the District by tap holder.
If you should need anything further, please contact the District.
Thank you,
Vide

To: Mr. and Mrs. Otto Luhrs
From: Tom Schomer, City Traffic Engineer
Subject: 1672 County Road 11
Broomfield has reviewed the Use By Special Review Permit for the above property. The proposed use of the
property is construction company offices, equipment, and materials storage. The site is expected to
generate approximately 50 trips of traffic a day. The property currently has four access locations onto CR
11. There are no planned changes to the current access locations. Broomfield does not see any difficulties
in approving the current access with the new use.
If access changes or is modified in the future (driveway improvements, new culverts, or change in water run-
off into Broomfield maintained ditches) then, a Public Private Improvement Permit will be required from
Broomfield.
