SITE PLAN REVIEW QUESTIONAIRE/NARRATIVE
FOR ASPHALT SPECIALTIES CO., INC. ("ASCI")
HEAVY EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY LOCATED IN THE AG ZONE,
WELD COUNTY, COLORADO
1. Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc ("ASCI") is submitting this amended Use by Special Review ("USR")
application to a pre-existing USR (USR-1315) to allow the conversion of the uses on the property from
those of a landscape materials business to a heavy equipment repair shop (use of the existing 80' x 120'
concrete block building as a repair shop which originally was designed for stonecutting use) in the
agricultural zone ("Ag") of Weld County, Colorado to be located at 2425 West I-25 Frontage Rd., Erie,
CO. The property consists of approximately 20 acres on slightly sloping ground west of I-25 and south of
Weld County Rd. 8. The property is serviced by electricity and has two approved septic systems on the
site and an alluvial well and permanent pond for a water supply and for firefighting purposes. A
commercial well permit application (deep well) has been submitted for an approved, permanent water
supply for the site. Heat is provided by a large propane tank.
The property currently has an existing USR allowing for the operation of a landscaping materials yard
and stonecutting for landscape rock. A minor amendment to this USR (MUSR12-0001) was applied for in
2012 to convert the use from a landscaping materials yard to an assembly operation for mobile water
treatment systems. That amendment has recently been withdrawn in favor of the ASCI proposed heavy
equipment maintenance shop with the landowner. ASCI is currently using the site as a heavy equipment
maintenance shop and equipment and truck parking through a lease with the owner.
This heavy equipment shop and equipment storage yard will serve two purposes. The shop will repair
only heavy equipment and trucks owned by ASCI. The shop will not be open to the general public. No
engine rebuilding will occur at the shop and only repairs and maintenance will be performed. This will
include welding of metal parts, standard engine, transmission and drive train maintenance, tire/track
removal and replacement and similar activities. All major engine rebuilding is farmed-out to facilities
offsite. Repairs and maintenance on heavy equipment (graders and loaders, etc.) are mostly performed
in the field at the jobsite or operations areas. The other purpose for the site is for outside storage of
equipment. Outside storage will consist of a maximum of approximately 55 trucks (tractor/trailer and
tandems) that will be parked at night and on the road during the day in the construction season. Truck
drivers park their personal vehicles on the site in the morning for the duration of the working day and
leave at night. During winter shutdown of highway construction activities, there may be as many as 35
pieces of heavy equipment parked in the yard area. At other times, various pieces of equipment will be
in the shop or yard being repaired and for maintenance. There will be vendors accessing the site for
deliveries of parts to the shop and to remove trash and recyclable materials. Equipment parts will be
warehoused in the shop building. Areas have recently been graded and graveled for parking for the
shop employees and truck drivers as well as all equipment storage. All access is from Weld County Rd. 8
and truck traffic uses the entrances to I-25.
A Vicinity Map is located on the next page following. Exhibit A (located at the back of this narrative with
the other Exhibits) consists of the Site Plan for this application. The Site Plan shows all relevant features
for this application.
2. Chapter 22 of the Weld County Code addresses the Comprehensive Plan ("comp plan") for the county.
Upon review of available documents from the county website and discussions with the Planning Dept.,
there are no elements of the comp plan that address this particular area and no projected planned uses
for this location shown on a comp plan map. Furthermore, Weld County does not have an IGA with
either the City and County of Broomfield or the Town of Erie, both of which border this property
(Broomfield to the east of I-25 and Erie to the south). The Erie Comp Plan calls for this site and areas to
the north and west, to be developed as "Regional Commercial" and further west to WCR-7 as "Mixed-
Use". In 1989, Erie annexed and zoned a 137 acre property as Planned Development south of WCR-8,
west of I-25 and to WCR-7 on the west that allows uses varying from heavy industrial (asphalt and
concrete plants and truck terminals) to commercial/retail adjacent to WCR-8. This property is known as
the Erie Exchange and those uses are still allowed as a Use by Right on the development when it is to be
fully developed. Properties all along I-25 in this area of Weld County have been converted from
Agricultural zoning to zoning ranging from industrial to commercial and retail. The area directly east
from this site and on the east side of I-25 is in unincorporated Weld County and consists of business's
ranging from commercial to light and medium industrial uses. Policy 2.2 of Goal 2 of Chapter 22
encourages uses different than agricultural to locate in areas that would minimize the removal of
agricultural land from production. Given the sloping nature of the land making up this application with
Little Dry Creek bisecting the property, the land would not be productive as agricultural. Policy 7.2 of
Goal 7 of Chapter 22 suggests conversion of agricultural lands to other uses in an area that can support
those uses. Given the development of lands adjacent to I-25 and at interchanges, conversion to other
uses such as the use being proposed with this application are compatible with the future development
that will occur in this area. The noise generated from I-25 traffic at this location would make any kind of
residential development (unless located far from I-25) incompatible.
3. Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code addresses zoning in the county. The necessity for applying of an
amended USR for this location and for the use being a heavy equipment shop is that this use is not a Use
by Right in an agriculturally zoned district. One of the purposes of the USR process is to ensure
compatibility with existing and planned uses in the neighborhood. As described in 2., planned uses in
the 1-25 corridor and at interchanges call for mixed uses from industrial to commercial/retail rather
than agricultural. A heavy equipment shop is not a Use by Right in an agricultural zone, but similar uses
are: junkyards and salvage yards and oil and gas production facilities.
4. As described in 2., uses in the immediate area consist of an old large lot residential subdivision to the
south with agricultural uses surrounding the immediate property boundaries. A zoned Planned
Development with mixed uses is located at the intersection (SW quadrant) of I-25 and WCR-8.

SPECIALTIES C O , Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc.
Heavy Equipment Maint. Facility
10100 Dallas St. • Henderson, Co 80640 May 2014
Properties all along and on either side of this area of northern I-25 are being converted from agricultural
to mixed uses consisting of industrial and commercial/retail. The location being proposed for this heavy
equipment shop is ideally suited for this type of business, as the access onto I-25 requires no distance to
be travelled on WCR-8 except for the access locations and overpass at I-25 and thus does not interfere
with commuter traffic. The noise generated by I-25 this close to the site would preclude the successful
development of either residential or commercial/retail uses.
5. a.There will be a maximum of 14 employees working at the shop over two shifts.There will be up to
approximately 55 truck drivers who will arrive in the morning and park their personal vehicles and exit
the site in their assigned trucks, returning in the early evening reversing the procedure. There will be
approximately three flatbed "lowboy" truck operators delivering or picking-up heavy equipment pieces
at various times during the working day.There will be vendors accessing the shop site delivering parts or
picking up waste and parts that are to be recycled.The site will not be open to the public.
b. The shop will employ a maximum of 14 employees over two working shifts(days and evenings).
c. Normal hours of operation will be 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM 5 days/week. Days of operation can be 7
days/week if needed.
d. No further structures are to be built on this site for this current application. All current structures
are shown on the Site Plan. A deep water well will be drilled and developed upon approval of this
USR for an approved and permanent water supply for the operation.
e. No animals will be located at this operation.
f. As described above, up to 55 trucks will enter and leave the site empty. Tandems weigh 15,000 lbs.
empty and tractor-trailer and lowboys weigh from 31,000 to 33,000 lbs. empty weight. Personal cars
and trucks will be parked during the day (and an evening shift for the shop employees) for all
employees who use the site. Parking for both trucks and employees is shown on the Site Plan.
g. Mountain View Fire Protection District ("MVFPD") will provide fire protection for this site.There are
two dry hydrants that have been installed and tested by MVFPD at the location shown on the Site
Plan next to the drainage pond that is a permanent, year-round source of water(not ephemeral).
h. Water is currently obtained from a permitted alluvial well located on the property. This well
provides water for toilets and a wash basin in both the current shop building and an office/storage
building that is not in use. Bottled water is provided for consumption. No irrigation is performed on
this property. If this USR is approved, a deep water well will be drilled and developed for all water
requirements on the site. Both the current alluvial well and proposed deep well are shown on the
Site Plan (Ex. A). Ex. B contains the county required Water Supply Information Summary sheet, the
permit for the existing alluvial well and a copy of the application for the deep well permit for the
site.
i. Sewage disposal is accomplished by two separate and approved septic/leachfield systems on the
site. The earlier system was built and approved for the office/storage building which is not in use.
The later system was built and approved for the shop building which ASCI is currently using. No new
systems are being proposed for this site. Both leachfields are shown on the Site Plan. Ex. C contains
the approval information for both septic/leachfields.
j. Outside storage of heavy equipment and trucks will be practiced at this site. Only slight
warehousing of equipment parts will be practiced, as there is not enough room to warehouse a
large supply of parts.
6. There is no landscaping being proposed for this site. There are also no privacy fences being proposed.
The purpose for privacy fencing is to screen the equipment storage areas from adjacent neighbors and
public roadways. This is also part of the purpose for landscaping, as well as a visually aesthetically
pleasing addition to the grounds around a building or storage yard. The only public roadway that has a
view of and into this operation is I-25. Since the site is located in a drainage depression created by Little
Dry Creek, the site cannot be shielded from I-25. An area in the northern portion for the site directly
adjacent to the frontage road could accommodate privacy fencing, but this area is located in a 75 ft.
Right of Way for CDOT and for future expansion of I-25. Any location west of this ROW descends steeply
in elevation and landscaping or privacy fencing would not shield the operation/equipment yard from
views from I-25. There are n0 nearby neighbors that can directly see onto this operation. The former
owner of the property, Henry Rickers, also does not have a view into the property as his home is set too
far back to the northwest and this property descends in elevation to below the line of site from his
home.
7. There is no plan for any reclamation of this site upon termination of the property being used as an
equipment repair shop. There is no foreseeable end to the operation of the equipment repair shop at
this site. If the proposed operation contemplated by this application were to cease, a similar operation
would occupy the land and buildings.
8. All stormwater drainage developed on this site either enters Little Dry Creek or enters a permanent
drainage pond located just north of where Little Dry Creek exists the property. There is an outlet
channel from the pond to Little Dry Creek. The pond acts as a settling basin should there be any
sediment contained within the stormwater runoff. The site has been graded and graveled and runoff
contains little sediment. There is a rip-rapped containment basin of sorts at the entrance to the pipe
carrying Little Dry Creek under the frontage road and I-25 which acts somewhat as a catch basin for
sediment.These features can be seen on the Site Plan along with drainage direction arrows.
9. There is no construction for development of this site being proposed. All structures and equipment
yards areas have been built for this application and the proposed uses.
10. There will be no storage stockpiles for any product at this site and there will be no waste stockpiles.
11. The only onsite improvement being proposed with this application is for drilling and development of a
deep water well to provide for an approved and permanent water supply. No other onsite or offsite
improvements are being proposed for this development.
ITEMS TO BE ADDRESSED NOT CONTAINED IN THE QUESTIONAIRE BUT IN THE SUBMITTAL CHECKLIST OR
REQUESTED AT THE PRE-APP MEETING:
1. Traffic Study: All traffic entering and exiting the site will do so from an existing and approved paved
access from the West I-25 Frontage Rd. That frontage road enter/exits from the south side of WCR-8 just
west of the southbound I-25 freeway access. Since there is no appreciable travel to and from the site
using WCR-8 (except for maybe a few employees in their personal vehicles who may arrive at the
operation from westbound/eastbound WCR-8) and all traffic (including all truck traffic) enters and exits
from WCR-8 onto I-25, there are no traffic impacts to be generated from this proposal that would affect
Weld County or Erie. No heavy trucks will be utilizing WCR-8 other than access onto I-25. Ex. D contains
the county required Weld County Access Permit Application Form.
2. Waste Handling Plan: No waste is kept onsite for any length of time. All waste is removed from the site
and either recycled or landfilled. Other than replacement parts for equipment at are warehoused at the
shop (with failed parts being recycled), ASCI uses many types of replacement fluids for maintenance and
repair of vehicles and equipment. All fluids (primarily petroleum based) are purchased from Sam Hill Oil
Co. ("SHOCO") who delivers the products from a tanker truck and pumps into heavy metal/plastic,
puncture protected "carboys" or delivers 55 gal. drums. These products are currently kept inside the
shop building, but upon approval of this USR, these products will be kept just outside the building wall
and will be pumped from the inside into the shop.These products are:
• 55 gal. drum of auto trans fluid
• 300 gals engine oil
• 300 gals anti-freeze
• 300 gals hydraulic fluid
• 125 gals window washer fluid
• 55 gal. drum of manual trans/gear oil
We have a 1,000 gal. used oil metal container and we have two parts washers that are in a sealed-
system and maintained by MasterWash. MasterWash also recycles the used oil. Garbage is handled by a
30-cu.yd. roll-off that is picked-up by US Waste Co.
No fuel is stored at this site at this time. If fuel is to be stored at this site (pending approval of this USR),
we will have diesel and gasoline tanks installed by company that will take care of all permitting and
approvals. Kubat Tank Co. in Denver has installed tanks for us at our previous shop site. All products
have MSDS sheets that are maintained at the shop and are also located in our safety manager's office.
Further information and companies that take care of waste removal and recycling for ASCI are described
and listed in Ex. E.
3. Dust Abatement Plan: As part of the operation of the shop facility, the entrance is paved and all parking and
storage areas are graveled. A concrete apron has been poured at the entrance to the four bay doors on the
NW side of the shop building. These improvements, along with a 5 mph posted speed limit within the
interior of the entire shop operation will preclude dusty conditions. ASCI maintains water trucks and
"brooms" that will be located on the shop operation that could be used to control dust from the equipment
yard and to clean the access entry and the frontage road area should it be required.
