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 This project is west of CR 45 and is south of CR 66. Parcel number 080327100081. Access is from CR 66 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. 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 66 is a paved 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. Traffic: Latest ADT on CR 66 was taken on 10/9/13 which counted 219 vpd with 22% trucks. A traffic narrative was submitted by Gene Coppola with the application materials and indicated that there will be approximately 50 truck daily roundtrips and 20 employee daily roundtrips. The expected traffic routes are CR 66 to SH 85 with traffic also using CR 66, CR 43, CR 45, and SH 392. 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 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 site shall be maintained to mitigate any impacts to the public road including damages and/or offsite tracking." A variance request for alternatives to the above tracking control can be submitted to the Traffic Division of Public Works for review and consideration. Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement: An Improvements Agreement between the Applicant and the County will be required for this project. It will detail 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/Pla n n i ngZon i ng/Land UseApplicationsAssista nce/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. Drainage Requirements: Detention Pond summarized in a Drainage Report: A drainage report and detention pond design has been completed by the applicant's engineer which included a signed and stamped Certification of Compliance. This is acceptable to Engineering. Grading Permit A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications are accepted after the planning process is complete (plan recorded). An Early Release Request Form may be entertained only after the applicant and Planning Department have reviewed the referral and surrounding property owner comments. The Early Release Request may or may not be granted depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact a Engineering representative from the Planning Department for more information. A Construction Stormwater Permit is also required with the State for disturbing more than 1 acre. Contact: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, Rik Gay, 303- 692-3575. If more than 1 acre is to be disturbed for construction of non pipeline items such as structures, parking lots, laydown yards etc..., a Weld County grading permit will be required prior to the start of construction. Contact the Planning Department for more information. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: A. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for offsite improvements at this location.

General E Advisory. The subject property is located within the City of Greeley's Long Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA). The LREGA is the range in which the community anticipates development occurring within the coming 20+years. Particular care in site design is imperative to increase compatibility with the urbanizing nature of this area. Please see the City-Recommended General Development Standards below for suggestions. ❑ Advisory. This site is of particular importance due to its location along CR 66. This is identified as a collector roadway in the City of Greeley's 2035 Transportation Master Plan. Due to this classification, landscaping should be installed along the frontage to enhance this major corridor across the community. See the City-Recommended Landscaping Standards below for suggestions. City-Recommended General Development Standards ❑ The standard setback for development of this nature in urban areas is 25 feet. All buildings, parking lots, perpendicular drive aisles, and other structures should adopt a setback of twenty-five feet from the future required right-of-way to avoid a non- conforming situation in the future. E To minimize airborne dust and the tracking of dirt, mud, and gravel onto public thoroughfares, all drive aisles and parking spaces should be paved in asphalt or concrete. E Outdoor storage should be completely screened from view of all adjacent roadways and Page I of 3 properties. This can be accomplished through the construction of a solid wall or fence or the planting of landscaping of sufficient height and variety to provide year-round screening. ❑ Fences or walls should include variation in appearance at least every 50 feet. This can be achieved by constructing columns or offsetting the angle. City-Recommended Landscaping Standards ❑ County Road 66 is identified as a collector roadway through the community. Landscaping should be installed along this thoroughfare at the following rates: o Street trees—one shade tree every 35 feet or one shade tree every 25 feet o Five medium shrubs (4-8 feet tall at maturity)per 100 linear feet o Ten small shrubs (<4 feet tall at maturity) per 100 linear feet ❑ The proposed use should be buffered from adjacent uses of different intensities to the south and west. A 15-foot wide landscaped buffer yard should be installed along the southern and western property lines. This should include one shade tree, one ornamental tree, and five small shrubs (<4 feet tall at maturity) for every 100 linear feet of frontage along these property lines.

General Comments E Advisory. The subject property is located within the City of Greeley Long Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA). if in the future, water and sanitary sewer service are requested to the property, then annexation into the City of Greeley will be required prior to the City of Greeley providing utility service. E Advisory. The City of Greeley and North Weld County Water District (NWCWD) have adopted a Water Service Agreement for providing water in this area. Please note that the City agrees with water service being provided to the property by NWCWD in accordance with the executed Water Service Agreement; dated February 5th, 2013. Traffic E City of Greeley's 2035 Comprehensive Transportation Plan indicates that Weld County Road 66 will be a 2 lane collector roadway requiring 80' total public right of way (40' half right of way). Please ensure that the site map calls out the south half of the right of way for Weld County Road 66. All proposed structures (buildings and paved areas) should be set back a minimum of 25 feet from the future right of way lines. Page 3 of 3 Hello
