The proposed site is located in the Southwest 1/4 of Section 34, Township 2 North, Range 68 West, of the 6t° Principal Meridian, County of Weld, Colorado. More specifically, the site is located at the northeast corner of Puritan Lane and Highway 52, which is approximately one-half mile west of the intersection Interstate 25 and Highway 52. The site contains approximately 4.979 acres and is vacant and covered by natural vegetation. At this time, it is Mr. Toderica's and the Church's intent to annex the site into the Town of Frederick and establish the zoning on the site as C -H52 Mixed Use Commercial Highway 52 District. Later, the site will be split into two (2) lots with the western lot being donated to Saint Dimitrie the New Church and developed into a new church site. The eastern lot will be owned by Mr. Toderica and will remain undeveloped at this time, but could potentially be developed as a commercial site in the future. Saint Dimitrie Mission started in 2007 with a small number of members, but very determined to create a sacred place to worship God in the spirit of the Orthodox tradition. The church presently is renting a building in Boulder where they have been able to perform their weekly services from inception. After almost a year and half of existence the church has only about twenty members. About 5 to 6 cars are in the parking lot on any given Sunday. For special times of the year (Easter and Christmas) they have as many as 40-50 people attend the service. The Romanian community in Colorado, even with the continuous growth of the last decades is still a relatively small group of people. The majority of the members are very educated and are bilingual. The first generation coming from Romania still favors the eel SiDeltIA 1 tt c1 c' , lkcf\12 E.

Because of this characteristic, the religious services are performed in both languages. At this moment, there are two Romanian Churches in Colorado, both Christian Orthodox, as this very old religion is the primary choice among the Romanian population. The first church is in Denver gathering the population from the areas in southern, eastern and western Colorado. The second Church, Saint Dimitrie, needs to be built in the northern part of the state to offer services to the population located in the areas north and west of Denver. From the geographic point of view, the intersection of I-25 and Highway 52 represents an ideal location so Romanians from as far as Fort Collins, Greeley, and Boulder can attend the Sunday services. The church cannot estimate how dramatically the number of members will change based on two important factors: the new location at I-25 and Highway 52 and having their own building. Some Romanian people have promised to become members, as soon as we move to the new location and some went so far as to consider buying homes in the vicinity of the church. The future plans for development on the site have to be flexible enough to accommodate whatever growth and changes take place in our congregation. It is the Church's intent to develop western portion of the site in phases as the congregation grows. The first phase will consist of the construction of a 5,300 sq ft. building for use as both a worship center and social hall with access off of Puritan Lane. This building will be large enough to accommodate 60 to 80 members. Depending when the church reaches these numbers, they can think about the second phase of development of the church site which would consist of the addition of a 6,000 sq. ft. church building along with additional parking, landscaping and other required site improvements. Additional right-of-way will be dedicated to the Town along the western boundary of the site as Puritan Lane is shown as a future collector in the Town's Transportation Plan. Existing sanitary sewer, water, electric and gas utilities are located along Highway 52 and initial discussions have been held with each provider and at this time no problems in serving the site have been noted. Due to the small size of the congregation at this time, the applicant would like to discuss with the Town Staff and Town Board the requirements and timing for the construction of the improvements for Puritan Lane, and the on -site parking lot and the on -site landscaping with the first phase of the development. It would be the Church's intent to complete development of the on -site improvements as the growth of the congregation warrants it. Pagc 3 Town of Frederick Town Board July 14, 2009 The long range future development of the church site will consist of the addition of a 6,000 sq. ft. church building along with additional parking, landscaping and other required site improvements. We believe the annexation of the Puritan site, and the development of the Saint Dimitrie the New Church site in the Town of Frederick will be a great addition to the Town.

CES Consultants, LLC Lot 1 Puritan Annexation and Zoning Annexation Assessment Report 1. The economic impact to the Town as a result of the proposed annexation. This shall include a short statement of revenues likely to be generated by any existing or contemplated development, and a statement of municipal expenses likely to be incurred as a result of the annexation and development; as well as the short-term and long-term economic development potential for the property (numbers of jobs to be created, sales and use tax generation, property tax generation, utility revenue generation, incentives to be requested or offered, etc.). As noted earlier in the submittal, it is the applicant's intent to split the site into two lots. One lot (approximately 2.0 acres) will be donated to the church for use as a church building site. Phase one of the church construction will happen as soon as the site can be approved. At this time, the major revenue to be generated by the proposed annexation will be through application fees, utility connection fees, building permit fees and sales tax generated by the construction of the first phase of the church site. In the future, as the church grows, additional construction may be required at the site which will generate additional fees and sales tax. The second lot (approximately 2.0 acres) will be zoned commercial. A portion of this lot is being reserved for future long range commercial development. At this time the applicant is unsure of his future plans for this lot. Once a more detailed plan for the development of this site is made, the applicant or developer will need to make a submittal to the Town at that time and the economic impact will be addressed at this time. 2. The impact of the proposed annexation on the existing transportation system and proposals to mitigate any negative transportation impacts upon the community (arterial and collector street improvements, intersection improvements, intersection signalization, alternative modes of transportation, etc.), including the compatibility of the proposed development with the Frederick Comprehensive Plan and any plan amendments that may be necessary for the proposed development. The proposed annexation will have minimal short term impact to the existing transportation system. Me existing church membership is only 20 members and generates only 10 —15 vehicle trips on Sundays. The applicant understands that long range future development on the site will necessitate the improvement of Puritan Lane to a collector street. The applicant has had initial contact with CDOT concerning the intersection of Highway 52 and Puritan Lane and initial reviews indicate that no improvements to this intersection are required at this time. 112 E. South 1" St. • Johnstown, CO 80534 Phone: (970) 373-4480 . Fax: (303) 416-1472 The site is currently shown with a land use designation of Rural Residential on the existing Frederick Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation to Mixed Use Highway 52 Commercial. The land use designations surrounding the site are Rural Residential on the north and west (the existing residences in the Puritan Development) and Community Commercial to the east. The land use designation of the area just west of the Puritan Development is also Mixed Use Highway 52 Commercial. It is the intention of the applicant to split the site into two lots, one on the east half and one on the west half. The lot on the west half will cover the church development while the lot on the east half, next to the Community Commercial site in Wyndham Hill maybe developed as a commercial lot or as detention for the Wyndham Hill Development. With this layout, the church site will be closest to the residential areas, while any future commercial development that may occur would be next to the Community Commercial site in Wyndham Hill. 3. The impact of the proposed annexation on the existing storm drainage system and proposals to mitigate any negative drainage impacts upon the community (historic rainfall drainage patterns, detention and retention areas, storm sewer requirements, discharged irrigation ditches, floodways and floodplains, etc.). The site sets north of Highway 52 and is impacted by existing off -site storm runoff that crosses the highway from the south. In 1999, Chang Engineering prepared a Final Drainage Report for the drainage facility improvements at the 1-25 and Highway 52 interchange. This drainage report identified the off -site storm drainage basin south of Highway 52 that crosses into our site. The minor flows from this basin cross under Highway 52 in two (2) 36 inch diameter culverts, while the major flows overtop the highway. The storm runoff flows for this off - site basin calculated in the report were 855 cfs for the 50 year storm and 1081 cfs for the 100 year storm. These flows sheet flow across our site and across the Wyndham Hill property to the existing triple box culvert under the west frontage road for 1-25. The existing triple box culverts under the west frontage road and I- 25 are sized to convey the 50 year storm event from the Gadding Hollow Basin of Wyndham Hill and the off -site basins south of Highway 52 (921 cfs). Per discussions with representatives of CDOT, it is our understanding that it is their intent to construct a culvert that will pass the 100 year flow under the highway in the future. The exact timing of this improvement has not been determined In 2006, Hurst and Associates prepared a Final Drainage Report for Wyndham Hill Filing 4. In this report, they proposed constructing a detention pond on our site that would decrease the 100 year developed release rate at the existing triple box culverts under the west frontage road to the historic 100 year runoff rate. The pond was sized for 40.9 acre-feet of volume and a 100 year release rate of 674 cfs. Page 2 Since the developers of the Wyndham Hill project did not obtain ownership of Lot 1, Puritan Subdivision, the proposed development will require the location and final design of this pond to be revised with the development of Wyndham Hill Filing 4. The applicant met with the representative of the Wyndham Hill Development, Mr. Jon Lee, to discuss options for addressing these flows through the two properties. Mr. Lee expressed their opinion that they would rather that the detention pond remains on Lot 1. They would prefer the Town decide on the final disposition of this drainage matter. As part of the proposed development of Lot 1, it is the applicant's plan to construct a channel across the south property line and along the east property line of the site that will carry the 100 year historic flows that cross Highway 52 around our site and release them onto Wyndham Hill Filing 4. It is our recommendation that the proposed pond for Wyndham Hill be constructed in the southeast corner of Filing 4, next to Lot 1, and the proposed channel released into the pond The proposed development on Lot 1 will follow all Town of Frederick Strom Drainage Criteria concerning on -site detention. A detention pond will be constructed on the site and the pond release flows will be released into the future Wyndham Hill Filing 4 drainage system. The applicant will be submitting a final drainage report with their site plan submittal for Town review that will address these drainage facilities in more detail. 4. The impact of the proposed annexation on the Town park facilities and recreation programs and proposals to mitigate any impact upon the existing facilities and programs (additional facilities, additional recreational programs, additional personnel required, etc). Due to the type of proposed development, there will be little to no impact to the Town's existing park and recreation facilities. The applicant plans to meet the intent and the requirements for public open space dedication as noted in Article 2 (adopted January 13, 2009) for the site. A minimum of twelve (12) percent of the total gross land area shall be dedicated as public open space per Section 2.11 and 2.12 of the Frederick Land Use Code. The exact nature and specific location of the dedicated public open space will be shown on the Site Plan. At the neighborhood meeting, the neighbors indicated that it was their understanding that Lot I was to be dedicated as a park site. The applicant had their Title Insurance Company research this issue and at this time, no documents have been found that indicate that the site has been, or was to be, dedicated as a park area. Page 3 5. The impact of the proposed annexation on the environment of the Town and proposals to mitigate any negative impact (identify environmentally sensitive areas, endangered species, significant habitats, etc.). There are no known negative environmental impacts to the Town due to this annexation. 6. The compatibility of the proposed annexation with the street master plan as depicted by the Transportation Map contained in the Comprehensive Plan and proposals for mitigating any negative impact. The proposed annexation is compatible with the street master plan as depicted by the Transportation Map contained in the Comprehensive Plan. The existing church membership is only 20 members and generates only 10 —15 vehicle trips. The applicant understands that long range future development on the site will necessitate the improvement of Puritan Lane to a collector street. The applicant has had initial contact with CDOT concerning the intersection of Highway 52 and Puritan Lane and initial reviews indicate that no improvements to this intersection are required at this time. 7. The compatibility of the proposed development with this Code and any deviations in setbacks, space requirements and permitted uses that may be required for the proposed development. It is the applicant's intent to meet all Code requirements concerning the proposed development on the site. Any deviations to the code that come up during the site plan process with the Town will be addressed per the Code. 8. A review of existing and adjacent land uses, areas of compatibility or conflict, and possible mitigation measures that may be required for the proposed development. The existing adjacent land uses consist of low density residential housing and community commercial development either next to or across Highway 52. The proposed development of the church site and the future commercial development will be very compatible with the surrounding properties. It is the intention of the applicant to split the site into two lots, one on the east half and one on the west half The lot on the west half will cover the church development while the lot on the east half next to the Community Commercial site in Wyndham Hill may be developed as a commercial lot or as detention for the Wyndham Hill Development. With this layout, the church site will be closest to the residential areas, while any future commercial development that may occur would be next to the Community Commercial site in Wyndham Hill. The site will be landscaped to help screen the development from the surrounding houses and from Highway 52. Page 4 :)NT'sxo.t- na_1S !

It is the intention of the applicant to split the site into two lots, one on the east half and one on the west half. The lot on the west half will cover the church development while the lot on the east half next to the Community Commercial site in Wyndham Hill may be developed as a commercial lot or as detention for the Wyndham Hill Development. With this layout, the church site will be closest to the residential areas, while any future commercial development that may occur would be next to the Community Commercial site in Wyndham Hill. The site will be landscaped to help screen the development from the surrounding houses and from Highway 52. Page 4 Since the developers of the Wyndham Hill project did not obtain ownership of Lot I, Puritan Subdivision, the proposed development will require the location and final design of this pond to he revised with the development of Wyndham Hill filing 4. The applicant met with the representative of the Wyndham Hill Development, Mr. Jon Lee, to discuss options for addressing these flows through the two properties. Mr. Lee expressed their opinion that they would rather that the detention pond remains on Lot I. They would prefer the Town decide on the final disposition of this drainage matter. As part of the proposed development of Lot 1, it is the applicant's plan to construct a channel across the south property line and along the east property line of the site that will carry the 100 year historic flows that cross Highway 52 around our site and release them onto Wyndham Hill Filing 4. It is our recommendation that the proposed pond for Wyndham Hill be constructed in the southeast corner of Filing 4, next to Lot 1, and the proposed channel released into the pond. the proposed development on Lot 1 will follow all Town of Frederick Strom Drainage Criteria concerning on -site detention. A detention pond will he constructed on the site and the pond release flows will he released into the future Wyndham Hill Filing 4 drainage system. The applicant will be submitting a frail drainage report with their site plan submittal for Town review that will address these drainage facilities in more detail. 4. The impact of the proposed annexation on the Town park facilities and recreation programs and proposals to mitigate any impact upon the existing facilities and programs (additional facilities, additional recreational programs, additional personnel required, etc). Due to the type of proposed development, there will be little to no impact to the Town's existing park and recreation facilities. The applicant plans to meet the intent and the requirements for public open space dedication as noted in Article 2 (adopted January 13, 2009) for the site. A minimum of twelve (12) percent of the total gross land area shall be dedicated as public open space per Section 2.11 and 2.12 of the Frederick Land Use Code. The exact nature and specific location of the dedicated public open space will be shown on the Site Plan. At the neighborhood meeting, the neighbors indicated that it was their understanding that Lot 1 was to be dedicated as a park site. The applicant had their Title Insurance Company research this issue and at this time, no documents have been, found that indicate that the site has been, or was to be, dedicated as a park area.

Principal • CsuutLA ckt Carrie da Silva, E.I.T Principal • Page 2 1 own of Frederick .own Board July 14, 2009 Romanian language and the next generation is using the English language as their first language. Because of this characteristic, the religious services are performed in both languages. At this moment, there are two Romanian Churches in Colorado, both Christian Orthodox, as this very old religion is the primary choice among the Romanian population. The first church is in Denver gathering the population from the areas in southern, eastern and western Colorado. The second Church, Saint Dimitrie, needs to be built in the northern part of the state to offer services to the population located in the areas north and west of Denver. From the geographic point of view, the intersection of I-25 and Highway 52 represents an ideal location so Romanians from as far as Fort Collins, Greeley, and Boulder can attend the Sunday services. The church cannot estimate how dramatically the number of members will change based on two important factors: the new location at 1-25 and Highway 52 and having their own building. Some Romanian people have promised to become members, as soon as we move to the new location and some went so far as to consider buying homes in the vicinity of the church. The future plans for development on the site have to be flexible enough to accommodate whatever growth and changes take place in our congregation. It is the Church's intent to develop western portion of the site in phases as the congregation grows. The first phase will consist of the construction of a 5,300 sq ft. building for use as both a worship center and social hall with access off of Puritan Lane. This building will be large enough to accommodate 60 to 80 members. Depending when the church reaches these numbers, they can think about the second phase of development of the church site which would consist of the addition of a 6,000 sq. ft. church building along with additional parking, landscaping and other required site improvements. Additional right-of-way will be dedicated to the Town along the western boundary of the site as Puritan Lane is shown as a future collector in the Town's Transportation Plan. Existing sanitary sewer, water, electric and gas utilities are located along Highway 52 and initial discussions have been held with each provider and at this time no problems in serving the site have been noted. Due to the small size of the congregation at this time, the applicant would like to discuss with the Town Staff and Town Board the requirements and timing for the construction of the improvements for Puritan Lane, and the on -site parking lot and the on -site landscaping with the first phase of the development. It would be the Church's intent to complete development of the on -site improvements as the growth of the congregation warrants it. a a 41 imorex Hello
