Planning CDATE: October 7, 2009 FROM: Lauren Light, W.C. Department of Public COLORADO • Health and Environment CASE NO.: PZ-1140 NAME: Merino Conservation Group The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. The applicant proposes a 9 lot PUD on 34.5 acres. The minimum lot size of 2 acres, coupled with the overall density of one septic system per 3.8 acres does meet current Department policy. The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water service. A letter of commitment to serve the 9 lots was received from Little Thompson Water District. The Weld County Attorney has also approved the water service commitment. • The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to sewer service. Sewer will be provided by individual sewage disposal systems. No new percolation data has been submitted since the Sketch Plan application. The sketch plan comments are reiterated here: Preliminary information in the geotechnical report conducted by Northern Colorado Geotech, dated October 3, 2006 and submitted in the application, indicates that most of the site is expected to be suitable for conventional septic systems. A weathered sandstone layer was identified at between 10 and 11 feet. This impermeable layer may cause a perched and/or trapped water table to occur over time, causing some septic systems to be engineered. This Department is not requiring septic system envelopes on the lots. The envelopes indicated on the change of zone plat can be removed. The initial impact plan (section 27-6-40), in the application materials, adequately addresses all impacts. The application indicates that the perimeter trail has been removed and replaced with a nature trail. It appears that lots 7, 8, 9 and 1 do not have direct access to the nature trail and the road would be utilized to walk to the trail. As there is a chance to connect adjacent trails in the future and to promote walkability of the neighborhood, all lots should have direct entry to a trail system. We strongly encourage the developer to design the trail system so there is • direct access for all lots. • The Department recommends approval with the following conditions, which should appear as notes on the change of zone and final plats, (except for#7 which shall be included in the covenants): 1. Water service shall be obtained from Little Thompson Water District 2. This subdivision is in rural Weld County and is not served by a municipal sanitary sewer system. Sewage disposal shall be by septic systems designed in accordance with the regulations of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division and the Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair, replacement, or modification of the system. 3. A stormwater discharge permit may be required for a development/redevelopment /construction site where a contiguous or non-contiguous land disturbance is greater than or equal to one acre in area. Contact the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment at www.cdphe.state.co.us/wq/PermitsUnit for more information. 4. During development of the site, all land disturbances shall be conducted so that nuisance conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions, at the request of the Weld County Health Department, a fugitive dust control plan must be submitted. • 5. In accordance with the Regulations of the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission any development that disturbs more than 5 acres of land must incorporate all available and practical methods that are technologically feasible and economically reasonable in order to minimize dust emissions. 6. If land development creates more than a 25-acre contiguous disturbance, or exceeds 6 months in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a fugitive dust control plan, submit an air pollution emissions notice, and apply for a permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 7. Language for the preservation and/or protection of the absorption field envelopes shall be placed in the development covenants. The covenants shall state that activities such as permanent landscaping, structures, dirt mounds or other items are expressly prohibited in the absorption field site. 8. "Weld County's Right to Farm" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County Code shall be placed on any recorded plat. • rse,ta DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES BUILDING INSPECTION NORTH OFFICE 918 10'" Street • I GREELEY, COLORADO 80631 C.

Each residential building will require an engineered foundation based on a site-specific geotechnical report or an open hole inspection performed by a Colorado registered engineer. Engineered foundations shall be designed by a Colorado registered engineer. 5. Fire resistance of walls and openings, construction requirements, maximum building height and allowable areas will be reviewed at the plan review. Setback and offset distances shall be determined by the Zoning Ordinance. 6. Building height shall be measured in accordance with the 2003 International Building Code for the purpose of determining the maximum building size and height for various uses and types of construction and to determine compliance with the Bulk Requirements from Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code. Building height shall be measured in accordance with Chapter 23 of the Weld County Code in order to determine compliance with offset and setback requirements. When measuring buildings to determine offset and setback requirements, buildings are measured to the farthest projection from the building.

As stated in our letter from February 2, 2009, policy BSM 85/05-003, Fire Protection, section VI, Fire Hydrant Locations, Distribution and Specifications, are still in effect. We had decided a single fire hydrant was sufficient for the development. The location of the hydrant on the site plan is also sufficient. At this point no information on the size of the • structures on the estate lots has been submitted. We recommend the developer seriously consider running an addition water line into the development, separate from the domestic water line to accommodate NFPA 13D residential sprinkler systems. Policy BSM 85/05-003, section V, describes Fire-Flow Requirements for Buildings. One and two family dwellings less than 3600 square feet require a minimum fire flow and duration of 1000 gallons per minute. This is water available from the fire hydrant to fight fire. Fire flow and duration for residential dwellings in excess of 3,600 square feet shall not be less than specified in Table B105.1. (Policy attached). According to our records there is not currently sufficient water in that area to provide adequate fire flow for buildings. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

District Wildlife Manager Suzanne Kloster made a site visit and consulted the CDOW Information Source Maps for Weld County to assist in compiling CDOW comments found in this letter. This general area provides winter range for bald eagles,overall range for black-tailed prairie dogs,foraging areas for ducks and geese,winter range for geese,overall range for mule deer,overall range for pheasant, overall range for Preble's meadow jumping mouse(PMJM),and overall range for white-tailed deer. • Additionally,typical species that may be found on site include: coyote,red fox,raccoon, striped skunk, songbirds,miscellaneous raptors,amphibians and snakes. The Home Supply is a major irrigation ditch crossing the north side of the property,and a smaller irrigation ditch is located adjacent to the east boundary. Since riparian habitat along waterways may provide habitat for PMJM we would encourage consultation with United States Fish and Wildlife Service concerning potential need for surveys for this listed species if development will impact riparian habitat. Alternatively,adequate setback from development along riparian corridors may eliminate the need for survey work. Although these ditches are man-made waterways,wildlife use these pathways as movement corridors. A minimum 100 foot non development buffer perpendicular to these ditches would allow continued free movement and minimize potential conflict between wildlife and humans. Fencing along the ditches should allow for unrestricted movement by wildlife. Noxious weeds are a serious threat to wildlife habitat,and a difficult and costly issue for landowners. During construction please clean all construction equipment thoroughly prior to off loading on site,and again before the equipment leaves the property. It would also be valuable to have a weed management plan in place during construction as well as after development is completed. Aquatic invasive species are a risk with any construction in wet areas. If heavy equipment to be used for the project has previously been used in another stream,river,lake,pond,or wetland,one of the following disinfection practices is necessary prior to construction to prevent the spread of New Zealand mud snails, zebra mussels,quagga mussels,whirling disease,and any other aquatic invasive species into this drainage. These practices are also necessary after project completion,prior to this equipment being used in another stream, river, lake,pond,or wetland: • DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES,Harris D.Sherman,Executive Director WILDLIFE COMMISSION,Brad Coors,Chair•Tim Glenn,Vice Chair•Dennis Buechler,Seaetary Members,Jeffrey Crawford•Dorothea Farris•Roy McAnafy•John Singletary•Mark Smith•Robert Streeter Ex Officio Members,Harris Sherman and John Strip STATE OF COLORADO 591.0%0 Bill Ritter,Jr.,Governor DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES b • DIVISION OF WILDLIFE 3 ' 4.4 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER %N OF V1�� Thomas E.Remington,Director Weld County Planning Department For /dlife- 8080 Broadway GREELEY OFFICE Denver,Colorado 60216 For People Telephone:(303)297-1192 SEP n 7111 fl wildlife.stale.co.us August 24,2010 RECEIVED Mr. Robb Casseday Casseday Creative Designs LLC 1711 61°Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80634 RE: Weld County PZ1140 Twin Peaks at Iris Lane PUD Dear Robb: Thank you for contacting the Colorado Division of Wildlife(CDOW)concerning the above referenced plan under consideration by Weld County Planning. CDOW submitted a letter to Weld County Planning dated,October 11, 2009 concerning the project and potential impacts to wildlife resources including potential habitat for Preble's meadow jumping mouse(PMJM),a State and federally listed threatened species. Planning staff asked you to follow up with CDOW about PMJM habitat and potential impacts should the project be completed. During our meeting I agreed to complete a site visit and follow up by letter. Potential PMJM habitat along a ditch on the north end of the property is the concern. • I visited the site,adjacent to Weld County Road 3,this morning and walked the ditch located near the north boundary of the parcel. The ditch is a relatively small irrigation lateral used for irrigating this property and for transporting water for down slope users. The ditch has a raised dike,and for the most part is vegetated with upland grass species,forbs and annual weeds. There are small patches of riparian grasses in the ditch bottom and lower banks,however upland grasses do predominate. There are no dense stands of willow or other woody plants found along the ditch,probably due to the fact that the ditch is burned periodically. Based on the quality of the grass stand,and lack of woody vegetation,this ditch does not provide quality habitat for PMJM. Therefore development of the parcel according to plans submitted by the applicant would not impact this species. Additionally,setback required by the ditch company for maintenance should adequately protect habitat along this ditch from degradation,and provide adequate movement corridor for wildlife. We appreciate your concern for developing this parcel in a manner that will retain quality habitat for wildlife while providing an attractive setting for people in a semi-rural landscape. Please feel free to call on me at 970- 302-7394 if I can be of further service.

Keep equipment moist for at least 10 minutes OR • Remove all mud and debris from equipment(tracks,turrets,buckets,drags,teeth,etc.)and spray/soak equipment with water greater than 140 degrees F for at least 10 minutes. Clean hand tools,boots,and any other equipment that will be used in the water with one of the above options as well. Incorporating statements discouraging feeding of wildlife,other than songbirds, in covenants or other suitable format would benefit wildlife and help keep people and wildlife safe. Intentional feeding of big game animals, including deer,provides potential for disease in wildlife, increases opportunity for conflict with humans,and is therefore prohibited in Colorado. Abatement of routine wildlife issues on private lands are the responsibility of the property owner. County leash ordinances will protect wildlife,pets and people. Livestock allowed on site should be secured in facilities that provide adequate protection from predators. We would recommend the CDOW publication,Developing with Wildlife in Mind,for ideas on how to create a development that minimizes risk for wildlife. Potential property owners will find additional recommendations and information in these CDOW publications: Your Guide to Avoiding Human-Coyote Conflicts,Living with Wildlife: Canada Geese,Don't Feed the Wildlife,and Too Close For Comfort all of which may be found on the CDOW website (http://wildlife.state.co.us/Education/LivingWithWildlife/) Hunting has been a long-standing tradition in this area. Hunting is the primary tool for balancing wildlife populations with available habitat. While the sound of firearms may be disconcerting to people not familiar with hunting,rules and regulations for the sport make it an extremely safe pastime. Hunting leases also provide an additional revenue source for farmers and ranchers. We would continue to support • hunting on lands in this area until development or safety issues preclude it. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. If you have any questions regarding these comments,please contact District Wildlife Manager Suzanne Kloster at 303-485-0593.

Water Division 1, Water District 4 Dear Mr. Ogle: We have reviewed the above referenced request to rezone the subject property from agricultural to planned unit development (PUD). The submitted material does not appear to 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 memorandum 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. The subject property consists of a 34.54-acre parcel to be subdivided into nine single- family residential lots with an average lot size of 2.0077 acres and 13.456 acres of open space. The proposed water supplier is the Little Thompson Water District (District); however a letter of commitment for service from the District was not included in the referral material. This office previously provided comments regarding this subdivision in a letter dated July 20, 2007 (copy attached). This office `Inds that the request to rezone the subject parcel create conflicts with ar,,,, no our interests. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Sarah Reinsel of this office.

Water Division 1, Water District 4 Dear Ms. Martin: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 34.5-acre parcel into nine single-family residential lots with an average lot size of 2.23 acres. A Water Supply Information Summary Sheet was not included in the referral material and no estimates of water requirements were provided. • The proposed water source is the Little Thompson Water District (District), however a letter of commitment for service from the District was not included in the referral material. Based on current records on file in this office, the District will require the developer to purchase and transfer to the District 1.4 shares of Colorado Big Thompson (CBT) water prior to tap activation. Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., it is our opinion that with the District as the water supplier, the proposed water supply may be provided without causing material injury to existing water rights, and the supply is expected to be adequate, provided the developer obtain a letter of commitment for service from the District for this development. We recommend that the County obtain a signed copy of the water service agreement from the District prior to the final approval of the development.
