.- Janet Lundquist, Department of Public Works, stated the site will be accessed from County
Road (CR) 28, permitted under Access Permit, AP16-00329. She stated CR 28 is a local
roadway. with an average daily traffic count of 219. with 39% trucks. The applicant has proposed
approximately ten (10) round trips, therefore, staff is requested up -front tracking control: however,
an Improvements Agreement will not be required. Responding to Commissioner Cozad,
Ms. Lundquist explained the tracking control prevents staff from holding the applicant to the higher
standard for the interior parking area. In response to Commissioner Conway, Ms. Lundquist
stated unlike Agriculture which has a seasonal impact, this will be a year-round
commercial/industrial use and the tracking control will prevent them from tracking mud onto the
County road base.
Hayley Balzano, Planning Services Engineer representative, provided a brief overview of the
drainage, parking, interior traffic flow, and historic flow requirements.
Lauren Light, Department of Public Health and Environment, reviewed the water and sewer
provisions. She stated a domestic well and septic system sized for three bedrooms will serve the
residence on the site. They will be allowed to utilize portable toilets for employees. and there is
a Development Standard which will require the well to be re -permitted for commercial use if it is
used in connection with the business. Additionally, she stated there will be no washing or
maintenance conducted on the site, dust and waste control are addressed in the Conditions of
Approval. and Development Standards #8-16 address environmental health items.
Mr. Gathman clarified the hours of operation were discussed at the Planning Commission
hearing and were modified to allow 24/7 operations, since the use is associated with oil and gas
industry support. He further stated Mr. Barron could not be present today: however, Chris
Campos is present and is authorized to represent the applicant.
Chris Campos, represented the applicant and stated they want to park ten (10) tandem
trucks, which will leave the site in the morning and not return until evening. He explained they
are currently paying rent to park their equipment: however, with the decline in the oil and gas
industry, they want to bring their equipment on -site.
Pal No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
Responding to Commissioner Cozad, Mr. Campos stated they plan to park on the recycled
asphalt area and will extend the asphalt surface to the gate to prevent tracking mud onto the
County road base. He stated they also plan to enclose the equipment with a chain link fence and
slats, and no landscaping is planned. He also confirmed they talked to the neighbors who signed
agreement with the proposal.
In response to Commissioner Moreno, Mr. Campos stated the Planning Commission
discussed the hours due to the possible need for flexibility in response to the oil and gas industry.
He stated their normal hours are from 6:30 a.m.. to 6 30 or 7:00 p.m.: however, that is subject to
change. He stated they do not typically send out the entire fleet.

In response to Chair Freeman, Mr. Campos indicated no concerns with the Conditions of
Approval and Development Standards, as presented.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer requested to delete Condition of Approval (COA) #1.A.5. She
stated the applicant may choose to put up a fence: however, it would be her preference to not use
the screening slats. In response to Commissioner Cozad, Mr. Campos confirmed he did inform
his neighbors of their plans to put up a fence for security purposes, and the Board agreed to delete
COA #1.A.5. Commissioner Conway stated he is fine with keeping the tracking control
requirement, since there will only be ten truck trips per day and the applicant intends to place
recycled asphalt at the entrance. Commissioner Kirkmeyer also proposed deleting Development
Standard (DS) #7 concerning landscaping/screening. Commissioner Cozad stated she is fine
with allowing 24/7 hours of operation due to the distance from other residences.
In response to Chair Freeman, Mr. Campos indicated he and the applicant have reviewed,
and agree to abide by, the Conditions of Approval and Development Standards, as amended.
Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve the request of Jose Barron for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit, USR16-0025, for any Use permitted as a
Use by Right. Accessory Use. or Use by Special Review in the Commercial or Industrial Zone
Districts (parking and storage of commercial trucks) provided that the property is not a lot in an
approved or recorded subdivision plat or part of a map or plan filed prior to adoption of any
regulations controlling subdivisions in the A (Agricultural) Zone District, based on the
recommendations of Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of Approval
and Development Standards as amended entered into the record. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Cozad, and it carried unanimously. There being no further discussion, the hearing
