MEMORANDUM OF STANDARDS
1. PROPOSED NAME OF AREA:
CD
The proposed name is "Sharkstooth Estates"
r-
2. LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND TOTAL ACREAGE :
The North Half (NZ) of the East Half (EZ) of the East
Half (Ez) of Section One (1) , Township Five North (T5N) ,
of Range Sixty-Seven (R67W) of the 6th p.m. , County of
o Weld, State of Colorado ; containing approximately 75 .335
o acres .
0
3 . SITE PLAN:
r-
A Specific Site Plan shall be included in the Required
Subdivision Plat submittal . In general , Eight Single
Family Residence sites will be plotted in a "Cluster"
attitude, and a small pond will be developed in the
existing drainage area. The balance of total land will
be open area, common to all eight sites .
4. LAND TO BE RETAINED AS FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE :
Each Residential Site shall include a Fee Deed to
approximately one (1) acre and an undivided one-eighth
interest in the balance of the land. Said undivided
interests would be common in use and private to the
eight Fee Owners . The common area would be used for
limited pasturage on the native grass areas . With the
predominant native grasses being sand bluestem, sand
reedgrass , blue grama, needle and thread, switch grass ,
sideoats grama, and western wheatgrass the Soil
Conservation Service would encourage management of the
vegetation to harvest one-half and leave one-half of
the annual production.
In the immediate vicinity of the pond, it is the intent
to develop irrigated pasture using cool season grasses
such as smooth brome, orchard grass and fescue.
Covenants to be filed with the Subdivision Plat will
restrict pasture usage of both the Native and Irrigated
Grasses to prevent over-grazing and the subsequent
erosion problems .
Windbreaks and environmental plantings will also be
encouraged. Also, nesting cover for pheasants , doves
and other wildlife are to be incorporated into the plan.
Tt ; s 2ntc?patcd that the majority of the open rea.
can be used for all open area functions such as pedestrian
walkways , limited bridle paths , nature romps and
pasturage. Specific areas may have to be allocated and
use restricted for the bridle path function based upon
site investigation at the Subdivision plat submittal .
The pond may have an additional recreational use depending
on the recharge of its waters by stocking some with
desirable fish.
It is anticipated that approximately 80% of the total
land can be in open or common area.

5. (a) CIRCULATION PLA.- FOR VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIA..S :
It is desired to have a minimum amount of roads , which would
all be private, utilizing a single approach off County Road
25. The low amount of road footage may be accomplished by
running the single road around the pond with spur roads to
the various eight sites . This type of circular movement
would in addition reduce the utility footage. Pedestrian
walkways can be incorporated into this type of plan.
(b) PROPOSED DENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT :
With approximately 75. 335 acres and eight, single family
residential sites , a density of 9. 42 acres per site is
disclosed.
6. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE :
Applicant anticipates the project to be built-up and
completed within five years of acceptance of Subdivision
Plan.
7 . LANDSCAPING PROPOSALS :
In addition to landscaping referred to in Paragraph 4 above,
there may be provided suitable aesthetic monuments to serve
at the entrance to the subdivision, and certain landscaping
and fencing to compliment the area.
8. FINAL SITE PLAN AND COVENANTS FOR SUBDIVISION:
Applicant will furnish complete plans for Site Development
and full covenants to run-with-the-land at the time of
Subdivision Plat Submittal .

The Department of Planning Services staff is unable to make a
determination regarding this request . The materials submitted by
the applicant address the proposed nature of the development and its
conformance to the Comprehensive Plans of Weld County and of Greeley .
The application identifies the adoption of the Comprehensive Plans
referenced above as the changing conditions in the area. This
requirement is found in Section 8 . 3 of the Zoning Resolution . The
Department of Planning Services staff , after considerable deliberation ,
has some question as to the conformance of the proposal to the -Weld
County Plan .
The following information is listed tb present the best available
facts for use by the Planning Commission in reaching a determination .
It appears that the necessary decision is one which would clearly
interpret policies now in force .
A. Policies from Pages 48 , 49 and 50 of the Plan relating to
Agriculture :
1 . Agriculture is considered a valuable resource in Weld
County which must be protected from adverse impacts
resulting from uncontrolled and undirected business ,
industrial and residential growth . In order to maintain
and promote this important segment of the county ' s economy ,
the cultural and human values associated with farm life
and the overall benefits of an agricultural environment ,
any uses of prime irrigated farmland for uses other than
agricultural will be critically reviewed to insure the
proposed development will not adversely impact the
agricultural interests of the county and that the
West Greeley Farms

PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION

development will positively contribute to the overall
economy , environment and tax base of the county .
2 . In order to minimize conflicting land uses and minimize
the cost of new facilities and services to the taxpayer,
industrial , commercial , business and residential development
will be encouraged to locate adjacent to the existing 27
incorporated towns and in accordance with the comprehensive
plans and stated wishes of each community .
Where new developments desire to locate in the rural areas
away from the existing municipalities , they will be
required to justify their development with a detailed plan
(Planned Unit Development ) accompanied by an economic impact
and an environmental impact statement prepared by recognized
experts , showing all details of how the proposed development
would affect the local and county ' s economic base , the
tax revenues and cost of public services such as schools ,
utilities , roads and health services , and the immediate
and longterm impact on the existing environment .
3 . Because adequate water suplies are essential for agricultural
production, each nonagricultural development will be
encouraged to obtain its necessary water from sources which
are considered nonessential to the maintenance of agricultural
production in the particular area. In support of this
concept , highest priorities willbe given to those developments
that have low rates of water consumption . In pursuit of
these objectives , it willbe the policy to obtain comments from
those ditch companies , water districts and other water
resource agencies which maintain records and control the
transfer of water properties in a particular area.
4 . Because water , air and surface pollution are of vital concern
to all residents of the county , the state and the nation , it
will be the policy to encourage only those developments that
can show that they will not contribute adversely to pollution ;
or if they do contribute to the pollution problem of the area,
that they are prepared to either build appropriate control
devices at their own expense or will pay sufficient revenues
to the existing pollution controlling districts or agencies
to insure proper treatment without increasing the cost to the
existing users of the system.
5 . In order to promote the agricultural economy and to enhance
and maintain the quality of life and environment in Weld
County , developments that utilize nonproductive rural land
and water surpluses will be encouraged, particularly where
productive irrigated farmland can be preserved as agricultural
greenbelts and open space .
West Greeley Farms
Z-320 : 79 : 4
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
April 17 , 1979
Construction in flood plains , seep areas , geological
fault areas and other dangerous or undesirable building
environments will be discouraged. However , development
of these same areas as parks , recreation areas , water
and land reclamation areas , sand and gravel sources ,
commercial feed lots , and areas for hunting, fishing and
other activities which contribute to the economy or improve
the environment will be encouraged.
B. Policies from Pages 59 and 60 of the Plan relating to residential
development :
1. New residential developments which are not closely
connected to and served by municipal utilies and services
shall be discouraged.
2 . Proposals for new residential development adjoining existing
municipalities shall be encouraged so long as they conform
to the desires of the towns as expressed in their
comprehensive plans .
3 . Existing municipalities are the best and most efficient
sources of public goods and services which are necessary
to serve new residential developments . These municipalities
will be encouraged to improve their ability to serve new
development and will be looked to for service of all new
developments within their corporate areas , in annexable areas
immediately adjacent to the town and even those areas not
immediately available for annexation, but within a reasonable
service distance from the municipality .
C. The Weld County Health Department indicated in a letter dated
April 6 , 1979 that no conflict with health regulations is
indicated in the Memorandum of Standards . The other items
referenced in the letter are applicable at the time of subdivision
application .
D. The Colorado Geological Survey indicated no serious constraints
for development were known . It was recommended in their letter
of April 4 , 1979 that a geotechnical investigation be made at the
time of platting.
E. The Weld County Engineering Department, in a memo dated April 5 , 1979
did not indicate any concerns regarding the rezoning.
West Greeley Farms
Z-320: 79:4
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
April 17 , 1979
F. The City of Greeley Planning Commission has no objections to
the rezoning, so long as the unit development limiting the
density of the area to one unit per 10 acres is adopted as a
condition of the rezoning. action. In addition, the City of
Greeley Planning Commission felt it important to ensure that
adequate utilities are provided to serve the development .
These matters are discussed in a letter dated April 4, 1979,
and in minutes from the March 27, 1979 Greeley Planning
Commission meeting.
G. The West Greeley Soil Conservation District , in a letter dated
March 29, 1979, indicated that only 10% of the soils are prime
agricultural soils, and due to their location in the area,
they are inconsequential. The Soil Conservation District did
indicate that from the soils information available, it was
apparent that use of the subject tract for subdivision
activity would require special consideration and design in
order to deal with septic systems, roads, site grading ,
disturbed areas, wind erosion, livestock grazing and structures.
There are concerns which should be dealt with at the time the
plating of the area occurs.
The above information is generally in two forms. In the
opinion of the Department of Planning Services staff , policy
related terms provide both positive and negative issues .
Referral related items indicate concerns regarding the physical
conditions or limitations that should be dealth with prior to
eventual ultimate development . Additionally , Section 8 . 3 of
the Zoning Resolution describes four areas of concern which must
be considered in decision making.
It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services staff
that the proposed development is compatible with the Agricultural
policies in the County ' s plan . However, the staff further feels
that there is some conflict with Weld County ' s Comprehensive
Plan . Residential policies . Policy numbers 1 and 3 for residential
development stated that new residential developments should he
closely connected to and served by municipal utilities and
services . The proposal is located with Greeley ' s plan area
and the Greeley Planning Commission indicated no objection . At
this time, however, the proposed site is not servicable with
City of Greeley utilities and services.
Section 8 . 3 states that the Planning Commission should not
recommend a change of zone without supporting documentation that
original zoning was faulty or that changing conditions in the
area now justify a new classification . As discussed above , the
applicant has indicated the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan
by the City of Greeley has changed conditions to provide for this
type of development . Section 8 . 3 additionally states that there
must be definite proof that the area has unique characteristics
which distinguish it from surrounding lands and that the Planning
Commission must recognize the precedent which is established for
rezoning of other lands similarly situated.

PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
April 17 , 1979
The property in question does not contain prime
agricultural soils as the majority of adjacent lands
do , nor does it appear to have the capability to be
converted to prime lands . It has access from an
existing public road and it is within the area designated
byby the City of Greeley as their Comprehensive Planning
area.
If the Planning Commission finds that the proposal is
consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and
Section 8 . 3 of the Weld County Zoning Resolution and there-
fore recommends approval of the zone change , the Department
of Planning Services staff recommends the Unit Development
be approved as a condition of the zone change .

Dear Xs. Traxler:
T am writing in regards to the request for re-zoning of the area south
of my poverty at Sharktooth Ski Area 3i miles west of Greeley. I
understand that the re-zoning request by West Greeley Farms as to
change the zoning from Agricultural to "E" Estate zoning.
I would like to have my comments entered into the record at the re-zoning
hearing to be held on April 17, 1979
As I mentioned t o you at your office a few weeks ago, I have no ob-
jection to the re-zoning request. In fact, T have felt for a long time
that housing should be built on marginal land such as is being considered
here, rather than taking good agricultural land out of needed production.
However, T want the record to show that the operation of Sharktooth Ski.
Area, using artificial snow-making equipment during the winter months,
can be noisy. The total operation including night skiing could be a
problem to housing located near the top of the ridge situated between
the proposed zoning and the Ski Area. Any devellope"r or propspective
homeowners should be aware of this commercial operation and expect to
cope with it. Soiae kind of buffer zone should be considered.
We have a sizable investment in Sharktooth after 8 years of operation
and we employ 25 persons duting our season. We believe we provide the
people of Weld County with a needed recreational activity.
If the re-zoning is approved I would be very happy to assist the planning
department in arranging adjustments in the PUD which would minimize
conflicts with the Ski Area. Thank you.

The following are answers to the questions 1 through 6 pursuant to Change of
Zoning.
1. Question: Is it impractical, impossible, or undesirable to develop the
land according to its current zoning classification?
Answer: This property is in native grass and there are no Ditch or
Reservoir Water Rights appurtenant to same. Due to its size, 75 plus
acres, it is too small to be an economic grazing unit, i.e. , it would
not support one building site in an agricultural pursuit. Also, under
current zoning regulations of non-irrigated agricultural, 160 acres is
minimum needed in order to obtain a single family building permit. Further,
this property has physical limitations of irregular topography, rather
shallow topsoils and some sandstone outcroppings. For the above reasons
it is impractical and undesirable to develop the property within its current
zoning classification.
2. Question: Would the proposed rezoning benefit the entire County by allow-
ing a typical development which is needed and cannot be located in other
parts of the County?
Answer: Yes. The Estate Zoning development would benefit the County by
being 'typical-plus' in this type of development. The development would
be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan with large lot development,
whereas other similar lands might not be included in the Comprehensive
Plan. The lower land cost can support lower density.
3. Question: Would the proposed rezoning benefit lands adjoining the area
requesting the change?
Answer: Yes. This change of zoning would retain the character of the
entire area and would not represent a radical departure in the existing
land use due to the nature of the development. The developer feels that
this type of development can be an example of land use on less desirable
lands.
4. Question: What features apply to the property requesting rezoning which
make it logical to rezone this tract and not to rezone in a similar manner
surrounding properties which may have like land use characteristics?
Answer: The majority of the surrounding lands are irrigated leaving this
edge of the Bluffs non-irrigated land as an island; however, other "bluff-
type" lands in the area do not have the accessibility and they are more
isolated from existing roads than Subject Property. County Road 25 is
adjacent to the East line of Subject Property.
5. Question: Why are other areas in the County already zoned according to
the requested classification, unsuitable for the development which is
proposed?
Answer: Other areas in the County that might already have Estate Zoning
8o not have the desired location or do not offer the amenities that can
be developed on Subject Property. Subject Property is a unique site, of
lX

sufficient size that through its rezoning and the subsequent filing of
the Subdivision Plat the developer will use the existing drainage to
create a small pond providing limited irrigated pasture for the benefit
of all owners. Also, the individual ownership sites reflects cluster
improvements on somewhat level topography not requiring the disturbance
of the soils on critical surfaces. Further, the establishment of open
and green areas on approximately 80% of the entire lands allows for
greater development density if and when that time comes. Developer
plans to create Covenants to run-with-the-land in order to protect and
provide for the land uses acceptable and adaptable for the entire
project.
6. Question: What proof of evidence is available that the original re-
zoning is faulty or that changing conditions in the area justify re-
zoning at this time?
Answer: Changing conditions dictated by the Greeley Comprehensive Plan
justify this rezoning request. The Plan recognizes the demand for larger
sized lots ranging above 20,000 square feet to an acre or more. Topography
and bluff-type land of Subject Property is a factor dictating the larger
sites. The lack of public sewage treatment also dictates larger sites.
According to the Plan, Subject Property lies in the 2010 Growth Ring,
::hereby single family residential development may occur on lots with a
minimum size of 10 acres. Further, the Plan does not encourage large
lot development except in periphery areas of the future City.
As mentioned in Paragraph 5, the Developer plans to cluster the definitive
individual sites and then include in each Deed an undivided eighth in-
terest in the balance of the land. This allows for a continued development
in the future at a time when need might dictate an increased density. The
clustering of the sites reduces the amount of utility runs and allows for
minimum road development. With approximately 75.335 acres in Subject
Property and 8 units proposed to be developed, the density would be some
9.42 acres per unit.

WEST GREELEY FARMS PARTNERSHIP
We have reviewed the zone change application for the above proposed
subdivision. Slopes on the extreme north side of the property are
fairly steep, however, it appears that structures can be safely
placed on the ridge to the south. Although we know of no serious
geologic constraints that would prevent the development of this
property, this site should be investigated by qualified geotechnical
personnel prior to preparation of the preliminary plat so that the
results of the above investigation can be incorporated into the
development plan.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office.

Subject:
The Engineering Department has the following comments regarding
the West Greeley Farms C.O.Z. request.
Current regulations do not allow for private roads within subdivisions.
A variance request would be required with the subdivision submittal
for consideration. At this time, we would not object to such a
request. Yet, should the homeowners request acceptance of the
roads by the County in the future, the owners would be responsible
for complying with appropriate design and construction standards,
prior to approval .
County Road 25 is not classified as an arterial . Therefore, it is
very unlikely that the road would be scheduled for upgrading within
the near future.

Dear Chuck:
Re : Rezoning Agricultural to Estate for Shark ' s Tooth Estates
Unit Development
At its March 27 meeting the Planning Commission reviewed the above
described rezoning request . The Commission discussion of the
item focused on two aspects of the problem presented . The first
was compliance of the proposed land use with the Comprehensive
Plan. It was explained to the Commission that the development must
conform to the minimum lot size of ten acres in the 2010 growth
ring. The second concern discussed was an apparent lack of
available domestic water to serve the development, and there was
also a question raised concerning the suitability of the site for
septic sanitation systems . The Commission determined that under
the strict provisions of the unit development limiting total
density of the proposed 75 acre development to eight units or
9 . 4 acres per unit that the zoning would conform to the 2010
growth ring provisions within the Greeley Comprehensive Plan . The
Commission recommended no objection to the rezoning conditioned
upon the unit development limitation to the density as proposed.
The Commission added a second condition that there be adequate
utilities to serve the proposed development .

IECORD OF PROCEED { ; S
Planning Commission Page 2 March 27, 1979
Betty McFerren presented a letter to the Commission explaining
her position on the requested zoning for the property. She noted
that since the current County commercial zoning has been on the -
property for quite some time without being used that it didn ' t seem ?
critical that the C- 4 zoning be allowed. She felt that C-4 zoning "v
would draw outside truck traffic and the warehouse uses would be
conducive to crime.
Mr. Houtchens noted that he was well aware of Mrs. McFerren' s
establishment and he felt that it is one of the top notch mobile
home parks in the City. He didn' t feel that the uses Mr. Stevens
was proposing would he incompatible with the neighborhood, noting i
that C- 2 zoning is quite restrictive. He felt an undercurrent
regarding Mr. Stevens ' not attending the meeting with the complete
plan for the area but he reminded the Commission that this is part
of a forced annexation and he felt that the requests were reasonable.
;i
Commissioner Keirnes noted that in the event that the Commission
decides to recommend zoning other than that applied for by the
applicant, the applicant may still request rezoning of the property. 3
Commissioner Clift noted that one of the problems that the Commission
faces is that if the C-4 zoning is granted and the property is then
sold the new owner may not put in the same uses that are being
presented to the Commission at this time. He made a motion to ` 4
recommend denial of the requested C-4 zoning and recommended instead
C- 2 zoning for the west half of the property and R- 3 zoning for the ! If
east half. Commissioner Cummins seconded the motion and questioned
whether the R-3 zoning on the east half of the property was an E
unnecessary complication. Mr. Given explained that probably not
more than five acres of commercial zoning would be necessary.
Commissioner Dietz asked if housing would he allowed in the C-2
zoning. Mr. Given replied that this would require a use by special
review. Commissioner Cummins withdrew his second to the motion.
Commissioner Dietz seconded the motion.
Commissioner Clift asked Mr. Houtchens if he was aware that rezoning
could be applied for. Mr. Houtchens replied that this would be at
the developer' s expense and he felt that there wouldn' t be any ,
justice in denying the present zoning uses. Mr. Given noted that
there currently is agricultural zoning on the east five acres and " E
commercial on the west in the County. Vote was taken and the motion
was denied with the following votes: Brown, no; Clift, yes;
Cummins, no; Dietz, yes; Modlin, yes; and Roeth, no.
Commissioner Cummins made a motion that the petition for C-4
zoning be denied and that the entire ten acre parcel be zoned C-2.
Commissioner Roeth seconded the motion. Commissioner Brown felt
that Mr. Stevens ' proposal made a great deal of sense to him.
Commissioner Clift questioned the size of the streets. Mr. Given
replied that they are currently 60 foot right-of-way. Second Street
is a collector from 14th Avenue to 23rd Avenue. He would be looking
at getting ten feet from the developing property. No additional
right-of-way would he needed on 21st Avenue. Commissioner Clift
questioned what would happen with Second Street. Mr. Given noted
that a collector generally requires 80 feet. There is a need to
provide access onto the property from the north so there may be a
need to dedicate right-of-way to the north. Mr. Houtchens noted
that circulation is very important to the developer. Vote was
taken and the motion carried with Commissioner Modlin dissenting.
III. REFERRAL FROM WELD COUNTY: REZONING AGRICULTURAL TO ESTATE
UNIT DEVELOPMENT
LOCATION: South of Sharktooth Ski Resort
Mr. Given explained that this parcel is located at the west end of
the Greeley Comprehensive Planning area and he pointed out the
location of the property. Ray Moore has requested a unit development
7'
. .,,. , .. ECORD OF PROC EED : I S a

plan under the County regulations which would restrict him to eight
lots. The area is within the 2010 growth ring and is in compliance v
with what is proposed in the plan. Staff has questions regarding ' {a
availability of water and sewer service in the area. Mr. Moore i h
explained that the land is in native grass state and that they
are attempting to develop the property with eight sites in an
estate unit development . Each purchaser would receive a title for y
one acre plus a one-eighth interest in the rest of the land whereby a
the land owners understand that the only way to increase the density
would be to return and request this through the proper boards and 4
commissions. A lake arrangement is proposed on a site of two to
five acres in the ravine. The land use around it would be limited _ R
to very limited grating, and a system would he set up for irrigated ! ; `
pasture in this area. A horse operation would also be possible.
Commissioner Keirnes questioned the water source for domestic use.
Mr. Moore noted that the City has a water main in County Road 25
but that wouldn't be sufficient. A pumping station would be
necessary and chlorination would be a problem. Also the property
is two miles west of North Weld Water so a six inch line could be
laid. Mr. Given noted that staff didn' t have a chance to put
this item on ART but the Water Department has commented that
tapping the transmission lines was not acceptable. Commissioner
Keirnes asked if the unit development plan addresses the water and
sewer availability. County planner, Ken McWilliams, noted that
these requirements would be handled through the subdivision
process. Commissioner Cummins asked if the ground water had been
- ' studied. Mr. Moore noted that it hasn' t been, but they are looking
at the elevation of the sites.
Commissioner Routh made a motion to recommend no objections to the i
request with the condition that adequate utilities be provided
for and consideration of the ten acre lot size requirement in the
Comprehensive Plan be given. Commissioner Modlin seconded the
-motion. Commissioner Cummins asked if this would require a waiver
of the ten acre requirement. Mr' Given replied that this would
be necessary. Vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously.
IV. REFERRAL FROM WELD COUNTY: RECORDED EXEMPTION
LOCATION: S.W. Corner of East 1Sth Street and Fern Avenue
Mr. Given explained that the recorded exemption requested by the
Duell' s is for a 2. 8 acre split from a 60 acre parcel in East
Greeley. Staff found no conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and
recommends no objections to the proposal . They did request the
provision of right-of-way on the east for Fern Avenue, which
requires 50 feet; on the north, 18th Street is a collector which
requires a ten foot right-of-way. Commissioner Keirnes noted that
these dedications are not now shown in the plat. Mr. Given noted
that the County provides for this dedication on the plats.
Commissioner Brown made a motion to recommend no objections to the
proposed recorded exemption. Commissioner Cummins seconded the
motion. Vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously.
V. PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE GREELEY
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INDUSTRIAL ELEMENT UPDATE AND TO RECEIVE
COMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ON THE GOALS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Mr. Given noted that the Commission has had the opportunity to
review the update and it has been distributed to the public and
the public has been informed through the media of the hearing
today. The amendment to the Comprehensive Plan arises out of the
study that indicates a need for more industrial land within or
contiguous to the City of Greeley. The Chamber of Commerce

RE: West Greeley Farms, Partnership, Zone Change from Agriculture to Estate,
EzNE4 Section 1, Twp. 5N, Range 67W.
We have reviewed the above mentioned referral and have the following comments.
Soils: There are four soil types found on the subject property. Following is a
list of each and a description of their limiting features for the intended land
use.
Tassel fine sandy loam (84-DE) , 5 to 20 percent slopes, is the predominant soil,
making up approximately 74 percent of the total area. This is a shallow, well
drained soil formed in materials weathered residually from sandstone. Depth to
sandstone ranges from 10 to 20 inches, but also outcrops the surface in many
locations. Due to a moderately rapid permeability, surface runoff is medium and
water erosion hazard is moderate. However, this soil is highly susceptable to
wind erosion when the soil surface cover is destroyed. Due to the shallow depth
and small amount of developed soil in the profile, this soil can only lose 1 ton
per acre per year of soil without loss of productivity.
The soil has a moderate limitation for dwelling buildings due to depth to rock,
but should be very substantial for foundations. Septic tank filter fields will
be severely limited due to shallow depth to consolidated rock which will not
provide adequate filtering or absorption for systems to function properly.
Vona sandy loam, 3 to 5 percent slopes (51B-C) makes up approximately 11 percent
of the total area. This is a deep, well drained soil with sandy loam to 60 inches.
Permeability is moderately rapid which allows medium surface runoff and low water
erosion hazard. This soil is very susceptable to wind erosion when the surface
soil cover is destroyed. Few limitations are exhibited for the construction of
dwellings or for use as septic tank filter fields.
Aquolls and Aquepts, flooded, (34-U) makes up approximately 11 percent of the area.
These nearly level soils are on smooth plains in depressions and along the bottoms
of natural drainageways. About 20 percent is made up of soils which are well
drained and soils which have sandstone or shale within 48 inches of the surface.
However, the greater percentage of these soils are deep and poorly drained. Most
of these soils are subject to excessive runoff. A water table is at or near the
surface in the spring and during the peak of the irrigation season.
Review-West Greeley Farms-Page 2
The use of these soils for building sites and septic tank filter fields
is severely limited due to possible flooding and possible presence of a
seasonal water table. These soils are usually not susceptable to erosion
due to the presence of water and wet conditions, however, if soil surface
cover is destroyed these areas could be susceptable to water erosion during
periods of flooding.
Nelson fine sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes (53M-AB) is present on the
southeast corner of the property and makes up only 4 percent of the total
area. This is a moderately deep, well drained soil with soft sandstone
at depths of 20 to 40 inches. Some of these soils have sandstone at depths
greater than 40 inches.
Due to the moderate depth to sandstone, the site has a severe limitation for
use as a septic tank filter field as there is not enough soil profile to
provide adequate absorption and filtering capabilities. Use for building
sites is limited only by depth to sandstone which increases cost for excava-
tion for footings and basements. However, the sandstone should provide
excellent support for buildings.
These soils have low water erosion hazard, but are very susceptable to wind
erosion when the surface protection is destroyed. These soils can not
tolerate soil loss greater than 2 ton per acre per year without loss of
productive capacity.
Tassel fine sandy loam, Aquolls and Aquepts, flooded, and Nelson fine sandy
loam are not prime farmland soils. Vona sandy loam is prime farmland if
irrigated, but due to its position within the area and its percentage repre-
sented in the total area, it is of no real concern.
From the above soils information, it should be apparent that use of the subject
tract for subdivision activity will require special consideration and design
for septic tank filter fields to prevent contamination of adjacent lands and
waters. All roads should be placed as near as possible on the contour to prevent
potential erosion. Site grading and disturbed areas should be kept to a minimum
to prevent potential wind erosion. Disturbed areas should be reseeded as soon as
possible to establish proper vegetative protection.
It was mentioned in the write up that communal grazing would be used for live-
stock owned by residents of the subdivision. If the range were in good condition,
this area may support two horses for 12 months of continual grazing or three
mature cows. Due to palatability and quality of forage, year long grazing would
probably not be practiced, therefore, a six month grazing season would be followed,
starting June 1 through December. This would allow stocking rates to be doubled
to four horses or six mature cows with feeding being necessary the other six
months.
The above stocking rates are figured with 50% utilization already included, which
would allow for maintenance of the present grass population.

Information regarding forage production, season of use and class of

COMMENTS:
The property under consideration is presently unimproved. There appears
to be a natural drainage area that runs through the property from the
south to the northwest . The property is presently in natural grass and
shrubery. Access to the property would be off County Road 25. - Sharktooth
Ski Area is located on the north end of this property along the bluffs.
The topography is very rolling. The property does not appear to be
suitable for crop farming.
