SUBJECT: USR15-0040, W3 Legacy
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:
Project description
This project is west of CR 15and is south of CR 56 and proposes to offload flyash for road construction
purposes
Parcel number 095719000049. Access is from CR 56.
Roads:
County Road 56 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. 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.
Traffic:
No traffic counts are available in the area.
A traffic narrative was submitted with the application materials and indicated that there will be
approximately 20 trucks daily roundtrips and 26 employee round trips/day. The expected traffic routes
are CR 56 to CR 13 then to US 34.
Access:
An access permit has been approved for the access to the site (AP15-00293).
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.
Show and label a 30 ft minimum access easement to provide adequate access to the parcel.
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 gravel roads requires a tracking control device and a minimum of 300ft of
recycled asphalt or road base.
*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 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:
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. A development standard will be applied to the recorded plan
indicating any impacts to the road must be mitigated by the owner. There shall be no tracking from the
site onto publically maintained roads. The applicant is responsible for mitigation of any damage or offsite
tracking and upgrading and/or maintaining onsite tracking control.
Drainage Requirements:
The applicant has submitted a site analysis signed and stamped by a P.E. stating the site meets
exemption 1.h - Development of sites where the change of use does not increase the imperviousness of
the site. The drainage certification letter must be revised, signed, and stamped to also indicate
compliance with the new Drainage Code Chapter 23, Article 12.
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.
Geologic Hazard Area:
This area IS NOT in a Geologic Hazard Area.
Floodplain:
This area IS NOT in a FEMA regulatory floodplain.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
A. Revise, sign, and stamp the drainage narrative to include the reference to the new Drainage Code -
Chapter 23, Article 12. (Department of Planning Services-Engineer)
B. The plan shall be amended to delineate the following:
1. Show and label the approved tracking control on the site plan.
