General Project Information/Location:
Project description: A Site Specific Development Plan and Major Amendment to a Use by Special Review
Permit, USR17-02-1366, 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, (Majestic Fence Company) to include Mineral
Resource Development Facilities including Oil and Gas Support and Service (the staging, storage and
parking and maintenance of exploration, production or workover equipment) 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 and adjacent to CR 50 and is west of CR 15.5. Parcel number 095732000027.
Access is from 15.5.
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:
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. (This document can be found at:
https://www.weldgov.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departments/Publie/020Works/Enqineering/W
CECC°/020Manual.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 15.5 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as a
local road, which requires 60 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 50 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.
Traffic:
Latest ADT on CR 15.5 was taken on 2/1/2012 which counted 95 vpd with 17% trucks.
A traffic narrative was submitted with the application materials and indicated that there will be less than one
daily roundtrip. The expected traffic routes are CR 15.5 to CR 50 and distribution of traffic is estimated to
be 100% to/from CR 50. The site will have 2-10 employees working on an irregular schedule.
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.
Less than 20 passenger vehicle round trips/day, no upfront tracking control requirements.
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: March 31, 2017
Re: 7 MJUSR7 7-02-1366 Greathouse
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, (Majestic Fence Company) to include
Mineral Resource Development Facilities including Oil and Gas Support and
Service (the staging, storage and parking and maintenance of exploration,
production or workover equipment) 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
Little Thompson Water District and a septic system sized for 8 people (SP -
0200034) serve the existing office/shop.
The application indicates that approximately 2 to 10 employees could access
the site. However, the majority of employees pick up equipment and proceed to
the job site. 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. If the existing septic system will be utilized for more than 8 employees, an
engineer review is required and if the system is inadequate a repair permit must
be submitted and the system shall be brought up to current requirements.
Minor maintenance will occur on the property. There will be a dumpster on site
for trash and used oil will be taken to a recycling facility. There will not be fuel
storage or washing on site and there are no floor drains in the existing building.

Review of Submitted Project
Front Range Fire Rescue Authority Comments
Applicant(s): Shawn & Stacey Greathouse
Case #: 1MJUSR17-02-1366
Review Date: March 14, 2017
Contact: Tyler Drage, (970)584-4464 x105
These comments pertain to a proposal for a site specific development plan and major amendment
to a use by special permit review. Specifically, the applicant has applied for permission to lease a
portion of his/her existing fenced parcel for the parking of oil and gas equipment. The proposal,
as submitted, indicates that no new structures are proposed at this time, and there will be no
changes made to the current structure. The scope of these comments is limited solely to the
desired use of the property for storage of equipment/vehicles.
1. With regard to fire and life safety issues, all requirements of adopted 2006 International
Fire Code, including all appendices, must be met.
2. Information provided indicates that the address of the property is 24047 County Road
15.5. Information from the Weld County Assessor's Office indicates that this address is
currently assigned to a residential structure north of the site indicated. No address number
appears to be assigned to the property in question. To provide the fire department with
the ability to locate the address, an address must be assigned to the property and said
address numbers must be posted adjacent to the primary entrance gate, with a minimum
size of four (4) inches and stroke width of 0.5 inch, in a color that contrasts with the
fence.
3. Access to the property is via a recycled asphalt entry apron and a 20 -foot roll gate. The
property owner must purchase and install an approved Knox padlock
(www.knoxbox.com) with a keyway for Front Range Fire Rescue.
4. Information has not been provided that shows any available fire hydrants near the
property in question. Due to the increased fire hazard associated with adding
vehicle/equipment storage, a fire hydrant must be installed within 500 feet of the entrance
to the storage area.
5. Installation/use of any above -ground or underground storage tanks containing flammable
and/or combustible liquids, for the purposes of refueling vehicles/equipment, is
prohibited without written approval from Front Range Fire Rescue.
