General
❑ 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 set the tone of development in this area and increase compatibility
with the urbanization of this part of the community.
❑ Advisory. Greeley's Comprehensive Transportation Plan identifies both East 16`h Street
and Balsam Avenue as collectors. Being important thoroughfares in the community, an
attractive site should be created through the construction of architecturally-significant
structures, screening of storage, and installation of landscaping.
Development Standards
E Such industrial development should adopt a setback of 25 feet adjacent to streets. All site
improvements, except landscaping, should be located outside of this setback. This
setback should take into account the anticipated upgrade of the adjacent roads, and the
setback should be from the future right-of-way required, mentioned more specifically in
the Engineering comments below, rather than the roadways as they exist today.
E A perimeter landscape treatment should be employed along the adjacent streets to
enhance and beautify the corridors. This landscaping should be installed outside of,but
immediately adjacent to, the future required right-of-way to avoid this investment from
being removed upon the final design of the thoroughfares. Five medium shrubs (4-8 ft.
tall at maturity) and ten small shrubs (<4 ft. tall at maturity) should be planted for every
one hundred linear feet of frontage. In the same manner, street trees should be installed
every thirty-five feet for shade trees or every twenty-five feet for ornamental trees.
Page I of 4
❑ All drive aisles and employee parking spaces should be paved with asphalt or concrete to
minimize airborne dust generated by traffic and reduce the amount of mud and dirt
tracked onto public thoroughfares.
❑ Outdoor storage should be on gravel or another all-weather surface and fully screened
from view of all adjacent properties and roadways. This can be accomplished through the
construction of a solid wall or fence or the installation of landscaping of sufficient height
and variety to provide year-round screening.
❑ The base standard for open space on industrial sites in urban settings is 10%. This open
space should be set aside and maintained as a landscaped area, of which 50% should be
covered in living material. The landscaped area should also have an acceptable
groundcover such as landscape rock, mulch, or lawn.
❑ Any mechanical units installed should be screened from view of all adjacent properties
and roadways. Units installed on the ground can be screened by plantings or walls.
Equipment placed on the roof should be concealed by screening walls.
❑ Refuse generated on the site should be contained. Please ensure that the trash receptacle
is sufficient in size to accommodate the trash generated by the use, is provided on-site in
a location which does not impede pedestrian or vehicular circulation, is not 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 in the aggregate 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. All trash receptacles should have
lids which should be kept closed.
❑ Blank wall expanses should be avoided when visible from neighboring properties.
Windows and doorways should be situated along facades visible from adjacent properties
and roadways to create an attractive building design. A minimum of 20% of each visible
facade should be occupied by fenestrations.
❑ Architectural elements should be designed to create an interesting and appealing
development. This can include exterior wall articulation, roof articulation, awnings,
canopies or enhanced entryways, varied building materials, ornamental lighting fixtures,
or additional features adding to the architectural definition of the structure.
❑ Facades visible from the adjacent streets or non-industrial uses should be at least 75%
covered with non-metal materials such as brick, stone, tinted and textured masonry block,
precast concrete, wood, or stucco.
❑ All outdoor lighting should be downward cast and should not shed light beyond the
property line.

Provide written responses to the comments below.
General
❑ Advisory. Per phone conversation on March 10, 2015 with Weld County Planning (Steve
Elkins) the applicant will not require water and/or sewer service to the new proposed
building. If this were to change please contact the City of Greeley.
The City of Greeley and North Weld County Water District have adopted a Water
Service Agreement for providing water in this area. The City of Greeley is agreeable to
North Weld Water District continuing to provide water service for the property, however,
please note that if additional water service is requested then the City of Greeley will
decide if water will be provided by the City of Greeley or North Weld Water District in
accordance to the executed Water Service Agreement.
E Advisory. City of Greeley's 2035 Comprehensive Transportation indicates that both
Balsam Avenue and East 16`h Street will be 2 lane collector roadways in this location,
requiring an 80 foot total right of way. Please ensure that the proposed plan calls out an
additional 10' of future Right-of-Way along the north side of the property for East 16th
Street and an additional 10'of right-pf-way along the east side of the property for a total
west half right of way of 40' for Balsam Avenue. Please ensure that all proposed
structures are set back a minimum of 25 feet from the future right of way line.
Fire Protection
E The City of Greeley will be providing fire protection per our intergovernmental
agreement with Western Hills Fire Protection District. A fire hydrant is required to be
installed within 300 ft. of the proposed building.
Stormwater Drainage

Case No. USR15-0009
Pt. NE'/ SW'/n Section 9, T5N, R65W, 6th P.M.
Water Division 1, Water District 3
Dear Mr. Elkins:
We have reviewed the above referenced request for a site plan review for a trucking business. The
submitted material does not qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section 30-28-101(10)(a) C.R.S., therefore,
pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors,
this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide comments. The
comments will not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this property or the ability of the water
supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. Please note that the title of the site plan review
map incorrectly identifies the subject parcel as being part of the NE 'A of Section 36 and part of the NW Ya of
Section 31, T6N, R66W, 6`" P.M. The parcel is correctly identified in the Vicinity Map and Site Plan on that
same page.
The application proposes to operate a trucking business on a parcel of approximately 4.85 acres. The
parcel also contains an existing residence and existing shop/building which will remain on site. The site will be
utilized by up to ten (10) drivers to pick up and drop off trucks, and the owners who will continue to occupy
the existing residence. The water source for the property is the North Weld County Water District. This office
considers the North Weld County Water District to be a reliable water supplier. Should it be necessary to
mitigate for excessive dust, a water tanker truck or portable sprinkling system may be used.
The site plan review map depicts a well on the site, although this office does not have record of any
permitted or decreed well on the subject property. If the well was put to use prior to May 8, 1972, the well
may continue to be used for its historical purposes, with no change or expansion of use. If the well was put to
use after this date, the owner should contact this office to determine the allowed use of the well.
The site is proposed to incorporate a stormwater quality depression with a design requirement volume
of 0.052 acre-feet. Any storm water runoff captured by the depression that is not diverted or captured in
priority must infiltrate into the ground or be released to the stream system within 72 hours. Otherwise, a
substitute water supply plan or an augmentation plan approved by water court must be obtained to replace
evaporative losses. Further, construction of the stormwater quality depression must not result in the exposure
of ground water without providing replacement water to the stream system.
Should you or the applicant have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Sarah Brucker of
this office.
Sincerely,
-) ,"/
