RE: Sorrel Ridge Final Plat Extension Request
CC: Bruce Barker, Dave Bauer
The Sorrel Ridge (PF-1099) Final Plat was administratively approved by staff on October 20, 2006.
The plat has not yet been recorded, pending the required Improvements Agreement and surety.
The applicant is requesting an extension to the normal 1 -year deadline for recording a PUD final
plat, as required by Section 27-8-60. The same Section allows for the Board of County
Commissioners to extend this deadline, if the Board finds that the PUD has not been abandoned
and that the applicant possesses the willingness and ability to record the plat.
The Board has previously extended the deadline one time, from October 20, 2007, to October 20,
2008, per Resolution 2007-3431.
The applicant indicates that they are working to receive a loan, and that it will be able to provide a
Letter of Credit, finalize the Improvements Agreement, and record the Final Plat within a year. The
applicant has also indicated that, with a slower real estate market, their timeline for completing the
improvements is not as aggressive as it had been earlier. These are reasonable explanations and,
as such, staff believes an extension is warranted.
As such, staff recommends extending the deadline for recording the final plat to October 20, 2009.

RE: Sorrel Ridge Plat Extension
Planned Unit Development Final Plan — PF#1099-Soaring Skies Ventures, LLC
Dear Mr. Mueller,
Soaring Skies Ventures, LLC (SSV, LLC) received administrative approval from Weld County
for the Final Plan, PF# 1099 on October 20, 2006 and in 2007 received an extension of the
approvals through October 20, 2008. Having recently met with the members of SSV, LLC and
having received overwhelming agreement by the members to continue forward with the Sorrel
Ridge PLJD, I am continuing to advance preparations for construction of the project. SSV, LI.,C
is currently in the process of working with our bank on the construction loan that will both pay
for construction of the improvements and post the Letter of Credit (LOC) to Weld County.
Due to the depressed housing market and unpredictable credit environment, SSV, LLC would
like to request an extension on the 1 -year deadline placed on the approved Sorrel Ridge Plat and
construction documents. SSV, LLC kindly asks the Board of County Commissioners to grant a
1 -year extension on the Final Nat to October 20, 2009 to allow us time to procure ample funding
to successfully post the needed LOC and finance the project improvements. As soon as we have
received our loan, it is our intent to post the LOC and construct the improvements.
SSV, LLC thanks you and the Board of County Commissioners in advance for consideration and
granting this request.
Warmest regards,
Soaring Skies Ventures, LLC
Timothy 3. alopoff, PE
