Truck parking.
The Weld County Department of Planning Services-Engineering 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:
This project proposes to use a portion of the 72 acre site for truck parking for 6 semi-trucks and 9 trailers.
This project is west of and adjacent to CR43 and is north of CR66. Parcel number 080322300020.
Access is proposed from CR66.
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 verify and delineate
on the plat the future and existing right-of-way and the documents creating the existing right-of-way. If
the existing right of way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. All setbacks shall be measured from the
edge of future right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
County Road 43 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 verify and
delineate on the plat the future and existing right-of-way and the documents creating the existing right-of-
way. If the existing right of way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. All setbacks shall be measured
from the edge of future right-of-way. This road is maintained by Weld County.
Latest ADT on CR66 just east of the site was taken on October 2013 which counted 219 vpd with 22%
trucks.
Latest ADT on CR43 just north of the site was taken on September 2013 which counted 1015 vpd with
23% trucks.
Traffic:
The traffic information provided with the submittal states that approximately 6 semi-truck cabs and up to 9
flatbed semi-trailers, and up to 5 personal vehicles belonging to the truck drivers are excepted to use the
site.
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.
Access spacing requirements are listed in the below table. Public works will review the permit application
and contact the applicant for further discussion or provide an access permit for the requested location.

Notes:
• Distances are measured as separation between access point centerlines.
• If proposed access points to a property fall under multiple spacing criterions, the County may require the larger
spacing be used.
• Low volume access is defined as access with daily traffic volumes between 21 and 99 vehicles.
• Low volume accesses may be restricted (now or in the future)to right-in, right-out movement.
• A field access or driveway is defined as 20 trips per day or less.

O 4 to 10 round truck trips:
• Access onto gravel roads requires recycled asphalt/road base on all driving surfaces.
• Access onto paved roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300ft of recycled
asphalt/road base.
O More than 10 round truck trips or more than 50 round passenger vehicles trips:
• Access onto gravel roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300ft of recycled
