RE: USR-1651 - Woods
I do not know of any discussions with the Woods about potential
annexation, however such a discussion would be very useful. They'd need
to apply for annexation and zoning, they get a break on some fees
because they don't need to withdraw from another fire district.
The City would be supportive of a petition to annex and is currently
dealing with a similar property in the area in regards to an annexation
agreement. Talk to Hannah about USR-1641, there is very similar
circumstances surrounding their petition to annex. We would absolutely
be willing to discuss potential annexation into the City to provide for
the development of the site. It is adjacent to two parcels just annexed
into the City and zoned I -M so it is likely that we could support
similar zoning which would allow for their proposed business.

bject: RE: USR-1651 - Woods
Brandon,
Thank you for the follow up letter.
A couple of quick questions:
1) Has there been any discussion with the Woods about potential
annexation to the City of Greeley?
2) Does the City wish to pursue annexation at this time or enter into
an annexation agreement with the Woods?
I am asking this because, like yourself, I am new to this situation. I
have learned that the Woods were originally put in violation in
2004-2005 for operating a business in the R-1 zone district. They were
directed by the Board of County Commissioners to do a special use permit
to correct the violation. The property was rezoned from R-1 (low density
residential) to A (Agricultural) in 2006 (under case # CZ -1104). The
Woods' are now applying for a special use permit to correct the
violation as they were directed by the Board. Some things that will
likely come up at the Planning Commission, Board Hearings would be: 1)
how long would it take to annex. 2) what would the City of Greeley
require for this business (would it be allowed, what type of
'provements would the Woods' have to put in place).
will also let you know the Board of County Commissioners hearing date
for this case once it is scheduled.

Chris,
I received your message; I apologize for the length of time it has been
in responding. I've been pulling together a letter to send over to you
in between other projects. Hopefully it'll allow you to complete the
staff report. I'll definitely try to make it to the hearing if you need
me to be there, it may conflict with a Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission hearing that is on the same day. Let me know if you have any
questions.

Brandon,
I am taking over this case from Roger Caruso. In your referral comments
you indicate that a development of this type would be more appropriate
to occur within city limits because it is adjacent to city limits and
receives city water. This development is located within the City of
Greeley urban growth boundary area as defined in our comprehensive plan.
The Weld County Board of Commissioners will need to consider specific
criteria based on the Woods property being located within Greeley's
Urban Growth area. The criteria is as follows:
•UGB.Policy 3.1. The County may consider approving a land use
velopment within an urban growth boundary area if all of the following
criteria are met:
a. UGB.Policy 3.1.1. The adjacent municipality does not consent to annex
2
the land or property in a timely manner or annexation is not legally
possible.
b. UGB.Policy 3.1.2. The proposed use, including public facility and
OP
rvice impacts, is compatible with this Chapter and with other urban
e uses.
c. UGB.Policy 3.1.3. The proposed use attempts to be compatible with the
adjacent municipality's comprehensive plan.
I wasn't sure based on your referral how strongly the City of Greeley
was considering annexation or at lease an annexation agreement based
upon UGB. Policy 3.1.1. Let me know your thoughts on this.
Also, as a reminder, this case is scheduled before our Planning
Commission at our 918 10th Street offices on April 1, 2008 at 1:30 PM in
case you would like to address this issue in person at the Planning
Commission.
Thanks,
Chris

It is my understanding from this mornings meeting that the proposed residence has been dropped
from the submittal. I have listed the review comments from the Water & sewer Department but
some of the comments will not apply if the residence is no longer proposed. EDR would still
like the comments to go to Chris Gathman, Weld County Planner, II.
1. Water service is not available until the water main in F Street is upgraded.
2. It is bad policy to install a water system that will not be subject to chlorination; however,
the property owner has the right to do so. What happened in Alamosa is an example of
what can occur.
3. The Water and Sewer Dept. requires advance notice prior to the disconnection and
reconnection of the water service to the proposed new house to ensure proper billing.
4. Based upon the information provided, the existing residential account will be changed to a
commercial account with a base annual allotment of 244,000 gallons. Should annual
usage exceed the allotment of water, a surcharge will be assessed.
5. A previous review commented that there was no available sewer service for the proposed
residence. The City has looked into tapping the trunk line located south of the south

property line. There is an existing manhole at this location and it is acceptable to the city
to tap a sewer service into the manhole. Refer to Water & Sewer Design Standard
Appendix 9.2.2 "Property requiring sanitary sewer service must connect to the sanitary
sewer system if the property on which the structure to be serviced is located within tow -
hundred feet of a sewer connection."

Chris,
I apologize that I can not make the meeting.
EDR would like to provide the following information for your meeting.
Water Service is not available until the water main in F Street is upgraded.
•
The proposed home would be required per City Water and Sewer policy A9 to connect the sanitary sewer
service into the existing manhole in the adjacent trunk line since the site is within 200' of the sewer line. The
City sanitary sewer trunk line is located approximately 20' south of the south property line. Per Water and
Sewer Board and City Council Joint Resolution No.66, 1998 the property would require to annex into the City
due to the request for sewer service. The City would not allow the existing building to be serviced by a cistern
when in the City limits. The City would require a separate water tap for the proposed building. That brings the
issue back full circle - Water Service is not available.
The City Water Department will need to be notified if the proposed business is approved. Water billing will
need to be changed to commercial account with a base annual allotment of 24,000 gallons. Should annual
usage exceed the allotment of water, a surcharge will be assessed.
Attached are the City standards and resolutions addressed in this email.
I will be back in the office latter in the afternoon if you have any questions, 970-336-4175.
Thank you,

Water Services
1. If a stubbed tap is the wrong size, it must be changed at the main either by redrilling, downsizing, or
abandoning and drilling a new tap of the appropriate diameter. The City does not permit downsizingof
potable water services at the meter. Potable water services must be the same diameter from the main,
through the meter, to five (5) feet beyond the meter. Listed below are acceptable procedures for acquiring
the correct water service diameter:
a. Redlining. This procedure is applicable for taps that need to be upsized to a larger diameter. The
corporation stop from the existing tap shall be removed and a new tap of the appropriate larger
diameter shall be drilled in the same hole where the existing tap was located.
b. Downsizing. This procedure is applicable for taps that need to be downsized to a smaller
diameter. The corporation stop from the existing tap shall be removed and a bushing of the
appropriate outside and inside diameters shall be installed in the same hole where the prior tap was
located. The smaller service corporation stop shall be threaded into the bushing.
c. Abandonment and New Drill. This procedure is applicable for taps that need to be upsized to a
larger diameter or downsized to a smaller diameter. The existing tap shall be abandoned per
approved abandonment procedures (see below). A new tap of the correct diameter shall be drilled
a minimum of two (2) feet from the abandoned tap.
2. City maintenance responsibility for water services shall be the water main, corporation stop, service piping
up to the curbstop, and the tube nut on the street side of the curb stop.
1. Per the Home Rule Charter for the County of Weld Colorado, Sec. 30-2-40, latest revision, a property
requiring sanitary sewer service must connect to the sanitary sewer system if the structure to be served is
within four -hundred (400) feet of a sewer connections.
2. Per the City of Greeley Charter and Code, Title 14: Public Services, section 14.12.050, a property requiring
sanitary sewer service must connect to the sanitary sewer system if the property on which the structure to
be serviced is located within two -hundred (200) feet of a sewer connection.
3. Sanitary sewer connections in either case shall be made at the property owner's expense.
4. City maintenance responsibility for sanitary sewer service ends at the main. The property owner is
responsible for sewer service maintenance beyond the main connection including the service tapping
saddle.
Non -notable Irrigation
1. Non -potable irrigation systems are required when the combined total open space/common space turf area
for a development is twenty (20) acres or more, unless otherwise indicated by the City.
2. In instances where irrigation services are allowed to cross or be located in the public right-of-way, the
Developer must obtain a revocable permit from the City of Greeley Public Works Department for use of the
public right-of-way.
3. A permanent arrangement for the One -Call location of the irrigation lines must be provided that meets all
requirements of the Colorado One -Call State Law. The existing law requires that all underground facility
owners be registered with the Colorado Notification Association. The revocable permit holder must be the
owner registered with the Colorado Notification Association.
4. If the permit to use the public right-of-way is revoked; additional water taps must be purchased for each lot.
Fire Sprinkler Services
1. There is no raw water dedication or plant investment fee requirements for fire sprinkler lines.
2. City maintenance responsibility for fire sprinkler lines ends at the mainline gate valve. The property owner
is responsible for fire sprinkler line maintenance beyond the mainline gate valve.

CODE REGARDING COMPOUND TAPS PROHIBITED; CORRECTION; EXCEPTIONS.
WHEREAS, the Water and Sewer Board has reviewed City Code Section
14.04.200(a) and (b) and recommended clarifications prohibiting compound taps,
requirements to correct compound taps, and authority to make exceptions; and
WHEREAS, the City has long recognized that when multiple service lines are
connected to an existing tap, or when service lines are extended to other buildings, lots,
or premises, water service to the customer is adversely affected; and
WHEREAS, adverse customer service may include delays in emergency shut off
of water, low water pressure, interruptions in service to multiple customers in
emergencies, penalty to innocent customers when one party of a compound tap is
delinquent; and cost to separate taps and install new service lines when desired by the
customer, and
WHEREAS, the amendment being proposed will clarify the intent of Code
Section 14.04100(a) and (b) and will improve water and sewer service to customers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GREELEY, COLORADO:
Section 1 Municipal Code Subsections (a) and (b) of "14.04.200, Compound taps
• prohibited; correction, exceptions, a copy of which is attached hereto, are
hereby repealed and re-enacted to read as follows:
(a) The installation of compound water or sewer taps is prohibited. A
compound tap is defined as more than one service line connection per
tap, or taps connected to service line extensions. Each building shall be
served by individual separate water and sewer taps, and the service lines
from these taps shall not be extended to serve other buildings, lots, or
premises. The Director of Water and Sewer has the authority to grant
exceptions for accessory uses on the same lot.
(b) In the event any such prohibited connection has been heretofore made,
and the Water and Sewer Department has dear evidence of a compound
water or sewer tap, then it shall be the responsibility of the Director of
Water and Sewer to require property owners to eliminate the compound
tap at the property owner's sole cost and expense. The owners of such
lots or premises so served may enter into an agreement with the City for
the future separation of the compound tap and service lines, if the
Director of Water and Sewer determines a deferral is in the best interest
of the City and does not cause a sanitation, public health, or public
nuisance problem. This agreement shall state the party or parties
responsible for the cost of future separation and that the compound tap
shall be separated prior to the sale or purchase of any one of the
properties involved. Such agreement shall be recorded with the County
Recorder and shall be a covenant running with the land. In any and all
events, the owners of such lots or premises being served by a compound
tap shall pay the full cost of disconnecting the compoundtap and
installing new bps and new service lines. In addition to the cost of
installing taps and service lines, the owners of the lots or premises
involved who have not previously paid plant investment fees shall be
required to pay plant investment fees for the new taps installed. The
current plant investment fee schedule shall be the basis for such payment.
Plant investment fees for compound taps installed prior to January 20,
1959, will be waived.
Section 2 Remaining Provisions Unchanged. Except as modified, repealed, and re-
enacted, all remaining provisions of Municipal Code Section 14.04.200
remain in full force and effect
Section 3 This ordinance shall become effective five (5) days following its final
publication, as provided in the Greeley City Charter.

(a) The installation of compound water and sewer taps
is prohibited. The connection of more than one (1)
detached dwelling unit per tap is prohibited, unless said
dwelling units are joined in a condominium declaration.
In the event any such prohibited connection has been
heretofore made and the Water and Sewer Department has
clear evidence of a compound water or sewer tap, then it
shall be the duty of the Director of Water and Sewer,
unless an agreement for future disconnection is made, to
disconnect the same and separate such service lines in
order that each service line shall be served by a separate
tap. Alternately, an agreement between the City and the
property ownersfor future separation of the compound
service line at the owners' expense shall be executed and
recorded with the County Recorder for each property so
served if the delay is in the best interest of the City and
does not cause a sanitation, public health or public nui-
sance problem. The recorded document shall state that the
compound tap shall be separated prior to sale or purchase
of the property. In any event, the owners of such premises
being served by compound taps shall pay the full cost of
making the taps and installing new service lines. In addi-
tion to the cost of making the taps and installing new ser-
vice lines, the owner of lots or premises shall be required
to pay plant investment fees for any compound tap
installed after January 20th, 1959. The current plant
investment fee schedule shall be the basis for such pay-
ment.
(b) No connection with the waterworks or use of water
therefrom shall be made through any extension of the ser-
vice pipes of any other premises.
(c) The Director of Water and Sewer may grant excep-
tions to the compound tap restriction in certain cases
where the water and sewer lines and service laterals have
been installed and additional utility service is required as a
result of replotting which increases the number of dwell-
ing units to be served by existing taps, if such exception is
in the best interest of the City. The use of a common ser-
vice by abutting property owners shall not alter the main-
tenance responsibility by the users of the common service.
The common service shall not constitute a public respon-
sibility and the Director of Water and Sewer shall not per-
form maintenance or repair on the separate or combined
service lines that may serve abutting properties. (Ord. 97,

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR OUTSIDE SERVICES
WHEREAS, development in the region of Greeley's water and/or sewage collection
system has generated and will continue to generate request for outside -the -City service; and
WHEREAS, the Greeley City Council and the Water and Sewer Board desire to
establish guiding principles for considering outside service requests; and
WHEREAS, such principles should be consistent with land use policies of the City and

Greeley city limits must be willing to annex prior to receiving services.
3. Properties requesting retail water or sewer service which are outside, not adjacent to
Greeley city limits, but within the city -established growth area (defined by the comprehensive
plan) must execute an agreement to annex when annexation becomes legally permissible and the
City so requests.

submit to the City all development plans for review and approval for conformance with
Greeley's development code, subdivision regulations., and comprehensive plan policies as
amended from time to time.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commissioners 6/29/2009
FROM: Chris Gathman — Planner III
SUBJECT: USR-1651 (Woods) conditions pertaining to sewage disposal
Summary: During the review of this application, the City of Greeley determined that the Woods
property was located within 400 -feet of an existing sewer -line. It is A requirement of the ISDS
Regulations that any development requiring a permit for a new/expanded septic system within
400 -feet of sewer is required to abandon the septic system. They don't have to abandon the
system if no changes are needed. If they need a permit they have to connect to sewer unless it
has been determined by the municipality that sewer service is not feasible. The City of Greeley
has determined that it is feasible to provide sewer service to the Woods property. The City of
Greeley requires annexation (or at a minimum an annexation agreement) as a condition of
providing city sewer service.
This case has been continued several times to allow the applicant to discuss annexation and/or
an annexation agreement with the City of Greeley and also to allow the applicant to deal with
personal health issues. No progress has been made toward annexation or an annexation
agreement between the City of Greeley and the applicant since preliminary meetings were held
between the two parties in the Spring of 2008.
Unless the applicant can demonstrate that the existing septic system on the property is
adequate to serve the proposed landscaping business (with up to 24 employees) as outlined in
condition 1.D — it is staff's position that the applicant will need to connect to City of Greeley
sewer.

Re: Case No.: USR-1651
Applicant: Jay & Sherrie Woods
Dear Planning Commission Members,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on this proposed Use by Special Review. The
City has reviewed the application submitted by Jay Woods & Sherrie Woods and requests a
continuance due to the outstanding questions/issues regarding this application as summarized
below:
•
•
Verification of Septic System
The capacity of the existing permitted septic system has not been verified. This question
is the most important, as this will ultimately determine if this property will be required to
connect into the City Sewer service and annex into the City.
2. Review of Development Plans
While the proposal does provide some details as to how the property will be developed, it
lacks some plans which the City feels are necessary for review prior to the Commission
making a decision. These plans include the Screening Plan, Dust Abatement Plan, and
Waste Handling Plan.
As this property is adjacent to City limits and within the City of Greeley's Long Range Expected
Growth Area, the City would like to ensure these plans indicate compliance or compatibility with
municipal standards for landscaping, screening, dust abatement, and waste handling.
Thank you for considering the City's request for a continuance in order to address the above items.
