Re: Revised Referral Response, USR-1667
Ms. Martin:
The Town of Severance offers the following comments to this proposal as it exists within
the Cooperative Planning Area (CPA) of Severance and Windsor as outlined in an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the two towns:
This property lies within the southwestern "gateway" to the Town of Severance which
requires a significant level of site plan standards regarding architectural and landscaping
requirements among others. When developed, this property is unlikely to conform to the
CPA standards outlined for this area. Based upon this site not meeting the requirements
outlined in the IGA, the Town of Severance recommends denial of the application as
proposed and wishes to be included in any and all correspondence related to public
meetings and hearings held with the County regarding this application.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Severance Planning Department with any further
questions.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
August 15, 2008
TO:
Town of Windsor Planning Commission
VIA:
Joseph P. Plummer, AICP, Director of P annin
FROM:
Diana Aungst, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT:
Weld County Referral — Use by Special Review (USR-1667) — Mark
Brinkman, Foothills Landscape Maintenance, owner
LOCATION:
South and adjacent to HWY 392 and approximately 2000' west of WCR
21 - 9500 HWY 392
ITEM #:
4
Background / Discussion:
The applicant, Mr. Mark Brinkman of Foothills Landscape Maintenance, is requesting
approval of a use by special review (USR-1667) in order to construct a landscaping
maintenance business. The subject property is approximately four and a half (4.5) acres in
size and is located within the Town's Growth Management Area (GMA), the Cooperative
Planning Area (CPA) as depicted in the Town's Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with
the Town of Severance, and the Windsor/Severance/Greeley IGA referral area as depicted
by the blue line on the land use plan map (please see attached). The subject property is
depicted as Neighborhood and General Commercial allowing for a variety of commercial
activities. Since the subject site is located within the Town's Growth Management Area
boundary the property should be annexed and developed within the Town of Windsor.
The Town of Windsor's parks and recreation department recommends preserving all the
tress on the site if possible. Additionally, stating that several of the trees have tornado
damage and pose potential hazards to property and safety and should be pruned.
The Town of Windsor's engineering department has stated a concern about there being no
eastbound left turn lane on HWY 392 to safely access the site. The Colorado Department of
Transportation has authority over the access to HWY 392.
With regard to the proposed landscape maintenance use and storage of trucks and
landscaping equipment, the applicant should be advised that, in the event that the property
owner submits a petition to annex the subject property to the Town, the use would be
required to meet the Town's standards. For example, the types of improvements that the
Town typically requires include, but are not limited to: acquisition and dedication of public
right-of-way to the site; paving of the road to the site; no outdoor storage of equipment; sign
setback and size requirements; etc.
Furthermore, Section 16-10-30(3) of the Municipal Code requires, "All parking lots which
are designed to be used for employee parking, visitor parking, customer parking and tenant
parking, and all interior drives connecting such parking lots, which are designated for
multifamily uses, business uses, commercial uses, industrial uses, offices and places of
assembly shall be paved with asphalt or concrete." The application materials do not state if
the parking are will be paved or not.

USR 1667 - Brinkman
Item 4
Conformance with the Windsor — Severance IGA:
According to the Windsor IGA with the Town of Severance the subject property lies within
the Windsor -Severance Cooperative Planning Area (CPA) and also lies within the eastern
"gateway" into Windsor and the southwestern "gateway" into Severance. The IGA states,
"Windsor and Severance agree that they shall develop and implement a mutually acceptable
comprehensive development plan, to be known as the Corridor Development Plan; for the
development of land and for the provision of urban services and facilities within the CPA."
The IGA further states, "... the parties agree that the East Main Street Corridor Plan as set
forth in Exhibit D [attached] shall be applicable to the Commercial Corridor Area of the
CPA. Upon the adoption of this Agreement [IGA], development proposals not in
compliance with these planning and design guidelines shall not be approved by either of the
parties [Windsor or Severance]." The Town's East Main Street Corridor Plan contains a
higher level of site plan criteria including architectural, landscape, and other requirements.
The proposed application does not appear to be in compliance with the Windsor -Severance
IGA.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is located in Windsor's Growth Management Area (GMA) and is
depicted as Neighborhood and General Commercial on the Town of Windsor's Land Use
Plan map which allows for a variety of commercial activities.
The proposed request does not appear to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Conformance with Vision 2025: N/A — The Vision 2025 document does not pertain
to referrals from other jurisdictions.
Recommendation:
Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of
denial of this use by special review (USR-1667) due to the property not being site -planned
in the spirit of the Windsor -Severance IGA Cooperative Planning Area and Development
Plan which would result in the respective "gateways" into both Windsor and Severance
being severely compromised because the design criteria and development standards which
are outlined in and required by the aforesaid Windsor- Severance IGA have not been used in
the proposed design of the subject property.

EXHIBIT D
PLANNING PROCEDURES MANUAL
EAST MAIN STREET CORRIDOR PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION.
The East Main Street Corridor holds many unique opportunities. Perhaps the most important one is being
the eastern "gateway" to Town. The visual quality of entryways is directly related to a community's image,
and a positive community image is essential for economic development and the ability to attract quality
developments. The East Main Street Corridor presents an opportunity to create a positive first impression
and demonstrate that Windsor is an attractive community in which to live, work and play.
The East Main Street Corridor has been identified as the area of Town immediately fronting on and within
the vicinity of Main Street from 2"d Street to the eastern corporate limits of the Town of Windsor, as shown
on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The western portion of the
corridor, between 2nd and Chimney Park Drive is primarily a residential area, serving to provide several
housing opportunities which have a strong connection to the employment centers of Town. The eastern
portion, between Chimney Park Drive and Town corporate limits contains the Town cemetery, a business
use at the southeast corner of the intersection of Main Street and Highway 257 and a large portion of
undeveloped agricultural land.
The western portions of the Corridor are currently zoned MF-2 (Multi -Family Residential), with the
exception of Morey's Salvage, which is zoned GC-PUD (General Commercial — Planned Unit
Development). The central portion of the Corridor is currently zoned MF-2 north of Main; GC (General
Commercial) on the northwest and southeast corners of Main Street and SH 257; I (Industrial) on the
northeast corner of Main Street and SH 257; I -L (Limited Industrial) south of Main in the central portion of
the Corridor; O (Open Space) south of Main Street in the central portion where the Cemetery is located; and
a small portion of land on the south side of Main between the 1-L zone and the Cemetery is out of the Town
limits. The review of any projects within the Corridor currently takes place under the zoning regulations of
the applicable zone district.
The Fast Main Corridor has seen some positive changes recently but overall, the area remains stagnant.
Many of the properties are in a state of disrepair and are in need of improvements. The street and adjacent
sidewalks are in need of uniform standards and construction enhancements. What still remains apparent
however, is the potential for positive development.
A. Purpose and Intent:
These standards and guidelines have been prepared in an effort to accomplish the following:
To revitalize the Fast Main Street area.
2. To protect and enhance property values within the area.
3. To increase the opportunity for development and expansion of business and industry within the
area.
4. To encourage those who are responsible for development to thoroughly consider the surrounding
context, so that each new development compliments the positive and unique character of its
neighborhood and the community.
•
PLANNING PROCEDURES MANUAL.
5. To sensitively integrate new development into the existing residential character in the western
portion of the study area.
6. To discourage massive, non -undulating building types.
7. To integrate projects within the area through compatible architectural features and harmonious site
and landscape treatments.
B. Related Issues:
Through the information gathering stages of this project, several key items were identified that have a direct
impact on the success of the Corridor Plan. While these issues do not fall under the jurisdiction of the
Corridor Plan, it is hoped that these items will be pursued by the appropriate parties and be developed with
the spirit of the Corridor Plan in mind.
The first such item identified, was the integration of the southern Windsor Lake shore and the Colorado &
Southern Railroad right-of-way into the area immediately west of the study area. It is suggested that a
committee be formed to explore the possibilities and feasibility of developing these areas into a greenbelt or
parkway. Such development would serve to beautify the existing unimproved raw land and to link the Lake
shore with Main Street. Furthermore, the feasibility of making street and sidewalk improvements within
this area should be explored. Such improvements would serve to provide a uniform streetscape between
downtown and the existing streetscape in the western portion of the study area.
The second item identified, was the incorporation of a Town "gateway" at the east entrance to Town. It
would probably be appropriate for this element to be located at the intersection of Main Street and Highway
257 possibly on the existing cemetery property.
The third item identified, was analyzing the existing zoning in place within the Corridor. While this
document was being prepared, a Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Windsor was being prepared. The
results of the Comprehensive Plan should be coordinated with this document.
As mentioned in the introduction, there is a piece of property in the east portion of the study area, west of
the cemetery that is currently out of the Town limits. The property would undergo annexation at the time it
is developed to ensure that it will conform to the Corridor Plan. Also, consideration should be given to
changing the zoning of the I -L Property on the southeast corner of Main Street and Chimney Park Drive to
not allow industrial uses on Main Street.
The last key item identified, was the coordination of this plan with the Downtown Redevelopment
Committee. At the time this document was being prepared, the Downtown Redevelopment Committee was
just being organized. These two plans should be closely dovetailed together.
IL PROCEDURE.
A. Application of Standards:
These standards and guidelines shall apply to all new development and to the remodeled portions of, or
additions to, existing properties adjacent to East Main Street between 2"d Street on the west and the Town
corporate limits on the east. "Standards" denoted by (S) are mandatory; "Guidelines" denoted by (G) are
not mandatory, but are provided in order to assist planners, design consultants, developers and Town staff

•
•
•
•
•
PLANNING PROCEDURES MANUAL
elements of the surrounding area rather than superimposing a design formula which is incompatible
or foreign to the site. (S)
2. Building walls should be subdivided and proportioned to the size of a person, using offsets,
projects, overhangs, and recesses, in order to add architectural interest and variety and avoid the
effect of a single, massive wall with no relation to human size. (G)
3. On non-residential buildings, ground floor facades that face streets or public walkways must be
modulated with animating features such as windows, entrance areas, arcades, porches, pilasters,
arbors, awnings, recessed or projecting display windows, and/or trellised vines along no less than
50% of the facade. For residential buildings these features must prevail on 100% of the facade.
4. No blank wall that faces a public street or walkway shall exceed fifty feet in length. (S)

11. A relatively wide variety of building materials shall be permitted. However, it is intended that a
basic harmony of architecture prevail.
12. Building materials should consist of textured unit masonry such as brick, stone and architectural
grade concrete masonry units, as well as wood siding, used in repeating patterns throughout the
building fabric of the area as much as possible. (G)
13. Any materials other than those encouraged in #12 above, if used, should be used as integral parts of
the overall building fabric in repeating modules, proportioned both horizontally and vertically to
relate to human scale, and with enough depth at joints between architectural elements and materials
to cast shadows. (G)
14. Metal siding panels shall be prohibited on prominent facades, and only architectural grade metal
panels will be allowed on non -prominent facades. Vertical ribbed metal siding panels shall be
prohibited. (S)
PLANNING PROCEDURES MANUAL

the overall design theme of the billing and the landscape so that these functions are screened from
view from public ways and adjacent properties. (S)
18. Wherever possible, conduits, meters and vents which are visible on buildings should be painted to
match the respective building surfaces. (G)
V. LANDSCAPE
In addition to the landscape guidelines in effect for the Town, the following shall constitute additional
minimum guidelines for landscaping within the East Main Corridor:
1. The density of landscaping need not be so dense as to completely cover or mask the building site,
but will not be so sparse as to be perceived as a minimum or superficial effort at landscaping. (G)
2. Landscape materials shall be of long living varieties, and shall be permanent in nature. All plant
material shall be vigorous and free from disease and insect infestation, in accordance with
specifications outlined by the American Association of Nurseries (AAN) for number one grade, and
will adapted to the Windsor area climate zone. Plants must be sized according to the following
table: (S)
TYPE
SIZE
Standard deciduous
2" caliper measured 6" above ground
Small ornamental flowering trees
I '/z to I '2" caliper measured 6" above ground
Evergreen Trees
6 foot in height
Shrubs and hedges
Five gallon or adequate size consistent with design intent
3. Short lived materials, such as annual flowers, are encouraged to be used to accent or supplement the
basic permanent landscape plan. Such flowers are encouraged to be utilized in a bed or planter at
project entries. (G)
4. No plant material with invasive roots shall be used. (S)
5. Artificial plant materials shall be prohibited. (S)
6. Landscape elements should relate to the building's structural elements and be used to interrupt

PLANNING PROCEDURES MANUAL
8. Street trees: Along the Main Street Corridor, continuity is required to connect the diverse land use
areas and provide an appealing "corridor" feel to the entrance of Town. The use of trees along the
Corridor can create this unifying effect. The following standards shall be used to create this effect:
a. Trees planted along Main Street shall be planted at a spacing of forty feet (40') and in straight
rows to create a continuous street edge. (S)
b. Trees of varying species shall be planted to avoid drastic loss from insect or disease infestation.
Different species with similar characteristics such as growth habit or color could be used to
avoid over -use by one tree species yet maintain the desired look. (G)
c. In all new development projects the inclusion of a 5 foot (5') detached walk and a 10 foot (10')
designated tree lawn, between the walk and the street, shall be required. Where such projects
meet existing projects, new sidewalks shall be required. In the case of a redevelopment of an
existing site which has a narrow frontage, the developer shall be required to post a bond
equivalent to 110% of the value of such sidewalk and landscape improvements. Such bond will
be utilized to construct the sidewalk improvements at the time there is enough adjacent
redevelopment to allow for a substantial portion of new sidewalk to be constructed. (S)
d. Large size shade trees recommended along Main Street include the following. (G)
Hackberry: Celtis occidentalis
Burr Oak: Quercus macrocarpa
American Elm: Ulmus americana (recommended only when varieties resistant to Dutch elm
disease are available)
American Linden: Tilia americana
Northern Catalpa: Catalpa speciosa
Norway Maple: Acer platanoides
Ginkgo: Ginkgo biloba
English Oak: Quewrcus robur
Green Ash*: Fraxinus pennsylvanica (seedless varieties only such as `Patmore' and `Marshall
Seedless')
White or American Ash: Fraxinus americana
Thornless Honeylocust*: Gleditsia triancanthos inermis
* Acceptable species but not recommended for planting in Windsor because of the large number
of these tree species already planted. Over -planting of one species leaves the forest vulnerable
to disease infestation.
e. Medium size shade trees recommended along Main Street include the following: (G)
Littleleaf Linden: Tilia cordite
Ohio Buckeye: Escudos glare
f. Small size trees recommended under power lines or where planting area width is only 5 to 6 feet
include the following: (G)
Schubert Chokecherry: Prunes Virginian Schubert'
Japanese Lilac Tree: Syringe reticulate

h. Street trees should be planted in the center of the tree lawn equidistant between the curb and
sidewalk. (S)
9. Trees planted in areas of high pedestrian traffic shall be at least 3 inch caliper and be high
branching. This size is required so that adequate branching height is achievable without severe
pruning. (S)
10. All trees and shrubs must be maintained in healthy condition or be replaced at the expense of the
owner. (S)
11. All visible areas which are not put to use as planting or tree beds, as parking or walkways or as
building area shall be seeded or sodded with bluegrass or other high quality turf blend. Planting or
tree beds shall be sized such that, at the time the plant material they contain is mature, a minimal
amount of mulch area is visible. (S)
12. All landscaped areas, including parking lot islands shall be irrigated by a fully automatic
underground sprinkler system. (S)
13. Planting beds are encouraged around the perimeter of all buildings. (G)
14. The owner or developer shall, to the greatest extent possible, incorporate existing healthy, mature
trees and shrubs into the landscape design. Existing trees and other plants in reasonable condition
may be removed only if the owner or developer has satisfactorily demonstrated to the Town that site
design restrictions necessitate their removal. Upon such demonstration, all removed trees or shrubs
shall be replaced with new trees and shrubs in a quantity and size reasonably equivalent to those
removed. An evaluation of the existing landscape proposed to be removed may be required. (S)

15. Existing plant material that is to remain as part of the permanent development or redevelopment of
a property shall be protected during construction. Existing trees and shrubs shall be protected with
a sturdy three foot (3') high construction fence that is placed at a distance from the tree equal to
40% of the height of the tree. If work is required closer than the construction fence, all work shall
be done by hand with special care being given to minimizing disturbance to tree roots, and
protecting the tree trunk from damage. (S)

Dear Ms. Martin:
Bill Ritter, Jr.
Governor
Harris D. Sherman
Executive Director
Dick Wolfe, P.E.
Director
We have reviewed the above referenced proposal for a Site Specific Development Plan and
Special Use Permit for a Landscaping Company on a 4.58 acre parcel. Since the submitted material
does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section § 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S., 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 development or the ability of the water supply
plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements.
• From the information in the materials submitted, the water supply for the property is provided by
the North Weld County Water District ("District"), though a letter from the District confirming that it
currently provides water service to the property was not included in the submitted materials. We
recommend that the County obtain a signed copy of the water service agreement from the District prior
to the final approval of the proposal. As long as the District operates within the terms and conditions of
its water rights and decrees, this office has no objection to the District continuing to provide water to the
subject property.
•
If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Megan Sullivan of this office.
Sincerely,
yti

Kim,
Based upon the information provided in the attached letter, CDOT does not have the warrant necessary to re-
evaluate access. It would appear that the traffic volumes proposed are not greater than the historical volumes.
CDOT has no further comment.
