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 Review Permit for a Kennel (for
rescue and boarding of 32 animals, both dogs and cats) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District.
This project is south of and adjacent to Morris Avenue and is east of and adjacent to Woodruff Street. Parcel
number 130927108001.
Access is from Woodruff Street.
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:/Iwww.co.weld.co.usIDepartments/PublicWorks/Permits 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/EnqineeringandRightofWay/EnclineeringCriteraandP
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:
Morris Avenue 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.
Woodruff Street 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

Traffic:

The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated that there will be approximately
less than 1 daily roundtrips.
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:
A. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. Morris Avenue is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Road Classification Plan as

MEMORANDUM
To: Diana Aungst, Planner September 28, 2016
From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR16-0038 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV16-00067) was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of a Dog Rescue (Furever Dog Rescue & Boarding) without
first completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has been forwarded to the County
Attorney's Office and we have initiated legal action; therefore, an 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.
If this application if approved by the Board of County Commissioners it will correct this outstanding
violation. If this application is denied, the Department of Planning Services asks that the Board forward
this case to the County Attorney's Office for legal action through the District Court process, but to delay
that legal action for 30 (thirty) days to allow the applicant time to remove the dog rescue, address the
building concerns and reduce to no more than 4 (four) dogs.
