The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has jurisdiction over all accesses to the state
highways.
No traffic counts are available in the area.
Access:
This project accesses onto CDOT Highway 34. The northwestern access is used as a one way in and the
southeastern access as a one way out.
Traffic:
A traffic study was submitted by Gene Cappola, PE, PTOE
The study indicated traffic counts were taken at the site. Traffic counts were significant in the morning
leaving the site toward the west and returning in the evening from the west. Peak hours included 56
vehicles exited the site during the AM peak hour to the west and 74 vehicles entering the site during the
PM peak hour from the west. Approximately 5% of the traffic counted was heavy trucks.
Per the traffic study, a right turn lane is warranted at the site entrance.
CDOT indicated a temporary access permit is required which will expire at the end of the current three
year lease. CDOT will require a new access permit once the lease is resigned or renegotiated. The
triggered improvements will be discussed at that time.

SUBJECT: USR15-0014
DATE: MARCH 17, 2015
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this proposal for a Site Specific
Development Plan and Use by Special Review Permit for a Mineral Resource
Development Facility, including an Oil and Gas Support and Service Facility (parking
and staging of oil and gas trucks and equipment, office and truck and equipment
maintenance) in the A (Agricultural) Zone District. This application is being processed in
conjunction with COZ14-0007 (a request for a Change of Zone from C-3 (Business
Commercial) to I-1 Industrial.
There will be up to 200 employees accessing the site. The majority of employees come
to the site to retrieve equipment and then proceed to the job sites. Approximately 12
employees will remain on site.
The application indicates commercial septic systems will be installed in conjunction with
the construction/remodeling of the buildings. It appears that the existing house and
remodeled office will share a system and the proposed new building will have a
separate system. The property is currently served by the City of Greeley for water.
The dust abatement plan states the site is graveled. A water truck will be utilized if
necessary.
The waste handling plan indicates that employee waste will be contained in a dumpster
and collected by Waste Management. The disposal of tires, scrap parts and batteries
was not addressed in the plan. There will be floor drains in the maintenance shop and
the drains will discharge to a watertight vault. LaSalle Oil does not provide waste oil
removal, so a revised waste handling plan is being requested. There will be no fuel
storage or washing of vehicles onsite.
We have no objections to the proposal; however, we do recommend that the following
conditions be part of any approval:
We recommend that the following requirements be met prior to allowing the plat to be
recorded:
1. The applicant shall submit a revised waste handling plan, for approval, to the
Environmental Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public
Health & Environment. The plan shall include disposal/recycling of tires,
batteries and other scrap parts generated from vehicle maintenance and
disposal/recycling of all waste fluids such as oil and antifreeze. Include the
names, telephone numbers and addresses of the waste handlers and
disposal/recycling facilities.
2. In the event the applicant intends to utilize the existing septic system at the
home, for business use, the septic system shall be reviewed by a Colorado
registered professional engineer. The review shall consist of observation of the
system and a technical review describing the system's ability to handle the
proposed hydraulic load. The review shall be submitted to the Environmental
Health Services Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment. In the event the system is found to be inadequately sized or
constructed, the system shall be brought into compliance with current
regulations. Alternately, a new septic system may be installed for business use.
We recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as
development standards:
1. All liquid and solid wastes (as defined in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and
Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5, C.R.S.) shall be stored and removed for final
disposal in a manner that protects against surface and groundwater
contamination.
2. No permanent disposal of wastes shall be permitted at this site. This is not
meant to include those wastes specifically excluded from the definition of a
solid waste in the Solid Wastes Disposal Sites and Facilities Act, 30-20-100.5,
C.R.S.
3. Waste materials shall be handled, stored, and disposed in a manner that
controls fugitive dust, fugitive particulate emissions, blowing debris, and other
potential nuisance conditions. The applicant shall operate in accordance with
the approved Waste Handling Plan, at all times.
4. Fugitive dust and fugitive particulate emissions shall be controlled on this site.
The facility shall be operated in accordance with the approved Dust Abatement
Plan, at all times.
5. This facility shall adhere to the maximum permissible noise levels allowed in
the Commercial Zone as delineated in Section 14-9-30 of the Weld County
Code.
2
6. Sewage disposal shall be by septic system. Any septic system located on the
property must comply with all provisions of the Weld County Code, pertaining to
On-site Wastewater Treatment Systems.
7. A permanent, adequate water supply shall be provided for drinking and sanitary
purposes.
8. Adequate drinking, hand washing and toilet facilities shall be provided for
employees and patrons of the facility, at all times. For employees or
contractors on site for less than 2 consecutive hours a day, portable toilets and
bottled water are acceptable. Records of maintenance and proper disposal for
portable toilets shall be retained on a quarterly basis and available for review by
the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment. Portable
toilets shall be serviced by a cleaner licensed in Weld County and shall contain
hand sanitizers.
9. All potentially hazardous chemicals must be handled in a safe manner in
accordance with product labeling. All chemicals must be stored secure, on an
impervious surface, and in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
10. Process wastewater (such as floor drain wastes) shall be captured in a
watertight vault and hauled off for proper disposal. Records of installation,
maintenance, and proper disposal shall be retained.
11.The operation shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of State
and Federal agencies and the Weld County Code.

From: Bethany Pascoe, Zoning Compliance Officer
Subject: USR15-0014 Referral
Upon review of my case files and computer, an active Zoning Violation (ZCV14-00167)was noted. This
violation was initiated due to the operation of an oil & gas support services operation without first
completing the necessary Weld County Zoning Permits. This case has not been presented to the Weld
County Court Magistrate through the Violation Hearing process. Since this application was submitted prior
to an actual court date being scheduled, NO 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 and once a plat is recorded will
correct this outstanding violation. If this application is denied,all but 1 (one)Commercial Vehicle shall be
removed from the property 30 (thirty)days of denial or the violation will proceed in court accordingly.

Provide written responses to the comments below.
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 Development Standards comments below.
E Advisory. This site is of particular importance due to its location along US 34 Business
Route. It is categorized as an arterial roadway and an Entry Corridor into the city. Due to
these classifications, landscaping should be installed along the frontage to enhance the
corridor. See the Landscaping Standards below.
City-Recommended General Development Standards
❑ The standard setback for development of this nature in urban areas is twenty-five feet. All
buildings, parking lots, 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.
❑ 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.
❑ Outdoor storage should be completely screened from view of all adjacent roadways and
properties. This can be accomplished through the construction of a solid wall or fence or
Page I a15
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.
❑ A trash receptacle, sufficient in size to accommodate the trash generated by the use,
should be provided on-site in a location which does not impede pedestrian or vehicular
circulation or clear vision zone requirements, is not located in setbacks or visible from
streets, and is accessible to refuse trucks. Such receptacle or a grouping of receptacles
which occupies an area in excess of fifteen square feet should be enclosed on at least
three sides by a solid wall or fence six feet in height and by a solid gate no less than five
feet in height on the fourth side. The wall or fence and the gate should be architecturally
compatible with the buildings which it accompanies using related or similar materials and
colors. All trash receptacles should have lids which should be kept closed.
City-Recommended Architectural Standards
❑ The facades visible from US 34 Business Route and the adjacent properties should be
architecturally significant and attractive. Where a portion of a building is visible from the
adjacent public right-of-way or an adjacent property, the architectural treatment should be
extended around the visible portions of the building to the extent that an architecturally
finished appearance consistent with these standards is achieved.
❑ The design of buildings should avoid the appearance of a single, large, dominant building
mass by using design techniques that include stepping back portions of the building
facade, breaking up the mass into smaller elements, and/or using material changes. For
building facades or walls which face public rights-of-way or adjacent properties and are
in excess of one hundred feet in length as measured horizontally, a minimum of twenty
percent of the length of the facade or wall should project or recess at a minimum depth
equal to three percent of the length of the facade or wall; or screening of at least fifty
percent of the wall area may be provided as an alternative using any required buffering to
meet this provision.
❑ Colors should be selected to establish an attractive image and standard of quality for
development of this area. Color should not be monotonous or monochromatic. Changes
in the building base color should occur at a change of building plane.
❑ Facades visible from US 34 Business Route or the adjacent properties should be at least
seventy-five percent brick, stone, tinted and textured masonry block, precast concrete,
wood, or stucco. Metal, including corrugated metal, could be used as an accent material
on the primary facade of any building as long as the amount used does not exceed twenty
percent of the area of the primary facade, exclusive of the roof, and it is painted to match
or complement the building color scheme.
❑ All buildings should feature four of the five architectural elements listed in
§18.40.090(10). This could include features such as exterior wall articulation, roof
Page 2 of 5
articulation, enhanced entrances, enhanced building materials, and other architectural
definition.
City-Recommended Landscaping Standards
❑ US 34 Business Route is identified as an Entryway Corridor. Special attention should be
paid to this frontage. The Entryway Master Plan suggests the following treatment for
industrial uses:
o Street Trees—Quads of trees placed at 50' intervals, 20' from future curb
o Landscape—5 medium shrubs (4-8 feet tall at maturity) and 10 small shrubs (<4
feet tall at maturity) installed between the pathway and future curb
o Pathway—A 10' wide pathway located 25' from future curb
o Fencing—Wood split-rail fencing installed along the property line
❑ This use should be buffered from adjacent uses of different intensities. A twenty-five foot
wide landscaped buffer yard should be installed along the southern and western property
lines. This should include four shade trees,four ornamental trees, three evergreen trees,
and twenty-five large shrubs (>8 feet tall at maturity)per one hundred linear feet.

Provide written responses to the comments below.
Traffic
❑ City of Greeley's 2035 Comprehensive Transportation Plan indicates that Highway 34
Business will be a 2 lane minor arterial roadway along the north side of the property
boundary, requiring a 100 foot total right of way (50 foot half right of way). Please
ensure that the site map calls out the future right of way south of and adjacent to the
existing 30 foot half right of way of Highway 34 Business and that all proposed
structures (buildings and paved areas) are set back a minimum of 25 feet from the future
right of way line.
General Comments
❑ Please provide a legible site plan to the City showing:
o Location of existing water service lines, meter pits and curb stops for both lots,
o Size of existing water taps,
o Location of proposed water service lines, meter pits and curb stops for both lots,
o Set back measurements of the proposed building and parking areas with respect to
the Right of Way for Highway 34 Business loop along the north and east property
boundaries,
o Landscape areas,
o Curb stops and water meters should be located in landscape areas whenever
possible.
Page 4 of 5
❑ Add these notes to the site plan:
o No plant material with mature growth greater than three (3)feet in height shall
be planted within potable water, sanitary sewer, or non potable irrigation
easements. [Volume III, Section 2.05(A)]
o No shrubs shall be planted within five (5)feet or trees within ten (10)feet of
potable and non potable water meters,fire hydrants, sanitary sewer manholes, or
potable water, sanitary sewer, and non-potable irrigation mains and services.
[Volume III, Section 2.05(B)]
Water and Sewer
❑ Advisory. The City of Greeley currently provides water service to both parcels of the
property via 3/4 inch water taps.
❑ The eastern (1510 East Highway 34) water service is currently considered a residential
water service. Once a new building is constructed and the use becomes non-residential,
the water service will be considered non-residential and the water service fee will be
increased to the non-residential rate. Water consumption will be subject to the annual raw
water surcharge.
❑ Non-residential water uses require the property owner to install the appropriate backflow
prevention assembly on the domestic service lines. Please note that these assemblies
must be tested by a certified tester upon installation and a copy of the test report needs to
be submitted. Annual re-testing of all backflow assemblies is required by Federal and
State Health Department regulations implemented through City ordinance for cross-
connection control.
The following internet address provides a list of certified testers for backflow assemblies:
http://grcelcygov.com/Watcr/Documents/backflow list.pdf
Backflow assembly test and maintenance reports can be mailed to the City of Greeley
Water and Sewer Department at 1100 10th Street 3n1 Floor, Greeley, CO 80631, faxed to
970-350-9805, or emailed to chrissv.lutz(cuvreelevgov.com.
❑ A Conceptual Site Plan provided to the Water and Sewer Department indicates that new
buildings are proposed in various locations around the subject property. If additional
water taps are needed then the property owner will have to go through the appropriate
channels with the City to acquire the new water taps.

Thanks for reminding me that I needed to respond to this referral.
As Gene Coppola stated in the traffic narrative, CDOT is willing to wait until the current property
owner's lease with the applicant expires. But if the lease is renegotiated or resigned, a permit will be
required. CDOT would request that the property owner obtain a baseline, temporary access permit for
the specifics discussed in this referral.
CDOT reserves the right to re-evaluate the accesses should an accident history develop.

Hi Gloria,
USR15-0014 seems like a project that you may want to review as it accesses
directly onto HWY34 just south of 18th Street. There is a traffic narrative by Gene
