Members Present: Heidi Hansen, Robert Fleck, Tom Beach and Carson Ortega. Members Absent: Jerry Adams, Terry Speer, Don Posselt, Terry Stencel, and Al Trujillo Also Present: Chris Gathman, Department of Planning Services and Kris Ranslem, Secretary. CASE NUMBER: APPLICANT: PLANNER: REQUEST: LEGAL DESCRIPTION LOCATION: PUDF13-0001 BIG THOMPSON INVESTMENT HOLDINGS LLC CHRIS GATHMAN PUD FINAL PLAT FOR SIX (6) LOTS WITH C-3 (BUSINESS COMMERCIAL), I-1, 1-2, AND I-3 (INDUSTRIAL) USES (UNION COLONY INDUSTRIAL PARK PUD) LOT B REC EXEMPT RE -4915; PART S2SE4 SECTION 35, T6N, R65W OF THE 6TH P.M., WELD COUNTY, COLORADO. NORTH OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 62; WEST OF AND ADJACENT TO CR 47. Carson Ortega noted that Century Link will serve this development from the southeast corner of the development. He stated that there is a request from the City of Greeley for a private easement for water and sewer and therefore they might alternate Century Link's conduit coordination with the builder on that portion. The easements that exist on the development should be sufficient for any communications conduits. Rob Fleck asked the applicant why they are not hooking into the city sewer. Tim Naylor said that they are currently working on a pre -annexation agreement with the City of Greeley. He added that they will not provide sewer at this time because they are not located within the city limits. Mr. Naylor stated that currently they have an engineer working on the study and design to hook into the City's services. Mr. Fleck noted the referral comments from the City of Greeley regarding the connection of water and sewer and asked if the requested easement is something that we need to incorporate into this plan. Chris Gathman, Planning Services, stated that he has had conversations with the City of Greeley and they indicated that their standards are that either it be an exclusive 20 foot water easement and 20 foot exclusive sewer easement or if it is an adjoining easement the width would be 30 feet. However the City of Greeley indicated that the easement running down the internal roadway would be acceptable but the issue is how Greeley deals with the internal road since they have a public access easement whereas the County's standard is it is a public dedicated right-of-way; therefore it is not an exclusive easement. Mr. Gathman stated that the proposed plan does meet the standards required by Weld County with a 20 foot overall easement and a 10 foot either side of the property line. Mr. Fleck asked the applicant if the plat will be recoded prior to the annexation agreement with the City of Greeley. Mr. Naylor said that there is timing problem with trying to get Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) in operation on one of the lots. He added that he would be acceptable to making the requested change now. Mr. Naylor suggested creating a 30 foot easement on the south side of the development running adjacent to County Road 62 for the water and sewer lines. Additionally, a 20 foot non-exclusive easement would be located on the north side of the internal roadway for electric and gas. Heidi Hansen clarified if the applicant wants to change the utility and drainage easement along County Road 62 to a 30 foot non-exclusive easement. Mr. Naylor replied yes and added that it would continue with a 30 foot easement along the northern portion of the internal roadway. Additionally, they would continue with a 20 foot easement between Lots 2 and 4. Robert Fleck moved to approve the changes as stated, seconded by Carson Ortega. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:25 a.m. Respectfully submitted. 43vokin 4i/tatter, Kristine Ranslem Secretary Digitally signed by Kristine Ranslem Date: 2013.06.14 15:19:49 -06'00' 2014-1512 s - ss- o?o/ y MINUTES OF THE WELD COUNTY UTILITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Due to lack of quorum, no meeting was held.
