Home My WebLink About20153821.tiff MEMORANDUM • 1 / = TO: Kim Ogle, Planning Services DATE: 9/21 /15 • FROM : Jen Petrik, P. E. , Development Engineer SUBJECT: USR15-0051 Robles Rodeo 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 hold Rodeos and rodeo practices seasonally. This project is west of and adjacent to CR 41 and is south of CR 8. Parcel number 147320100068. Access is from CR41 . Roads: County Road 41 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. Traffic: Latest ADT on CR41 was taken on 9/27/12 which counted 129 vpd with 29% trucks. The traffic information submitted with the application materials indicated three weekends per month there will be 1 team with around 15 people visiting the site practice. Once in a while there will be up sixty people or four teams. During the week there will be only the owners visiting the site. One day a month from May to November there will be larger events with up to 350 people including appoximaly 70 trucks with horse trailers. The traffic is anticipated to start coming around 11am and leave by 7. Access: An access permit has been approved for the access to the site (AP15-00439). For shared accesses, Engineering 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. 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. It appears the site meets the minimum requirements as there appears to be a double cattle guard and road base installed at the entracne. Please confirm and label at least 300ft of road base and the double cattle guard on the map. Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement: An Improvements Agreement between the Applicant and the County will be required for this project. It will detail the approved haul route(s), outline when offsite improvements will be triggered , and include a maintenance agreement for the haul routes. Improvements/Road Maintenance Agreement: An example agreement is available at: http://www.co.weld .co.us/Departments/PlanningZoning/LandUseApplicationsAssistance/ApplicationAssist ance. html An Improvements Agreement is required for sites with required offsite improvements. Collateral is required to ensure the improvements are made. Road Maintenance is typically included as a section of the Improvements Agreement when the County feels that the site activities may impact the County roadways. Possible mitigations included in the road maintenance agreement may include but are not limited to: dust control, specified haul routes, damage repairs, and future improvement triggers. Drainage Requirements: Per the pre-application meeting , a drainage narrative and water quality feature design is required and full drainage report and detention pond waived because the stormwater drainage impacts of the project will be insignificant with only much less than 10% overall site imperviousness. No buildings are proposed . The planning department may require a gravel parking area on site for the typical parking quantity. For less frequent events the overflow parking area can be used and can be grass and alternate locations per event to keep the grass viable for a stable surface. Please contact Weld County Development Review Engineer Jennifer Petrik for assistance with the Water Quality pond sizing. This site is not in a defined Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) area which is a more urbanized area with state mandated, higher water quality requirements 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. An Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement is required for offsite improvements at this location . Road maintenance including dust control, damage repair, specified haul routes and future traffic triggers for improvements will be included. (Department of Public Works) B.

According to the application, the rodeo facility will operate from May to October on weekends only. There will be an estimated 350 patrons at the site one weekend a month and an average of 60 people the other weekends. The patrons for the rodeo facility must have access to potable water, restrooms and hand washing facilities. The applicant is proposing to use portable toilets for the public. The following section is from Environmental Health Services, Weld County Department of Public Health & Environment, Septic Policies: Policy 2.2.K Use of Portable Toilets Purpose: To define when Portable Toilets may be used in lieu of a vault or septic system. Policy: Portable toilets may be utilized on sites for temporary and seasonal use for up to six months as part of the Temporary Seasonal Permits issued by Weld County Planning for situations such as fireworks stands, Christmas tree stands, seasonal recreational facilities, etc. As noted above, it is the policy of this department that portable toilets are allowed when a use is temporary or seasonal for a time period of six months or less. As the time period does not exceeds 6 months in duration, the use of portable toilets can be allowed as the facility is a temporary use. We have no objections to the proposal; however, we recommend that the following requirements be incorporated into the permit as development standards: 1. Animal and feed wastes, bedding, debris and other organic wastes shall be disposed of so that vermin infestation, flies, odors, disease hazards, and nuisances are minimized. 2. 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. 3. 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., as amended. 4. 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 Chapter 14, Article 1 of the Weld County Code. 5. Fugitive dust should attempt to be confined on the property. Uses on the property should comply with the Colorado Air Quality Commission's air quality regulations. 6. This facility shall adhere to the maximum permissible noise levels allowed in the Non-Specified Zone as delineated in Section 14-9-30 of the Weld County Code. 7. Adequate drinking, hand washing and toilet facilities shall be provided for employees and patrons of the facility at all times. Temporary uses for a time period of six months or less, 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. 8. The operation shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of State and Federal agencies and the Weld County Code. 2 vicav $unsoN TOWN OF HUDSON r 557 ASH STREET, P.O. BOX 351, HUDSON, CO 80642-0351 fi re Phone: (303) 536-9311 FAX: (303) 536-4753 fitp�p;1, www.hudsoncolorado.orq September 14, 2015 Weld County Department of Planning Services 1555 North 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 ATTN: Kim Ogle Reference: USR15-0051 The Hudson Planning Commission met on Wednesday, September 8, 2015 to discuss Referral USR15-0051, a Site Specific Development Plan for a rodeo and roping arena. The applicant, Mr. Gabriel Robles attended the meeting to answer questions about the proposed site plan. The Planning Commission raised a number of issues which will hopefully be addressed during the Weld County review process: 1. How will emergency services during the weekend events be provided? This would include animal as well as human injuries that may occur. 2. What facilities are available for fire protection on the site? 3. There is one point of access to the site. Is a second access point desirable for emergency services? 4. How will trash be picked up and monitored on and off site? (A nearby resident at the meeting reported trash along CR 41 after a recent event)? 5. Will vendors be permitted at the events? 6. Will alcohol be consumed at the events and how will its consumption be monitored? Testimony at our meeting was that no alcohol would be permitted. 7. The additional traffic from the events on CR 41 will cause further deterioration of the sandy, poor condition road base. Will the applicant participate in maintaining the road? 8. A nearby resident has not been notified of the proposed site plan and pending review. Are those notifications pending? Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this development and if there clarifications on the above please call.
