FIRST READING OF WELD COUNTY CODE ORDINANCE#2008-9, IN THE MATTER OF REPEALING AND REENACTING, WITH AMENDMENTS, CHAPTER 8 PUBLIC WORKS, OF THE WELD COUNTY CODE: Mr. Barker stated the Ordinance contains amendments to Chapter 8, regarding the requirements of the Urban Stormwater Drainage Criteria for subdivisions or PUD's( Planned Unit Developments)which contain nine or fewer lots, with the average lot size being greater than five acres. He clarified the text Minutes, July 30, 2008 2008-2099 Page 2 BC0016 modifications indicate that within this type of development, stormwater detention will not be required if the imperviousness does not exceed ten percent, and if the road does not exceed a six-inch water depth for a ten-year storm. Chair Jerke indicated the language presented to be amended within Section 8-11-110 indicates "fewer than nine lots," and he recommended the language be consistent with the previous language, indicating"nine lots or fewer." He stated a work session will be held before the second reading takes place. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Barker stated there are four drainage authorities within Weld County, and Weld County does not have jurisdiction as the authorities are required by the Federal government. David Bauer, Department of Public Works, clarified that Commissioner Masden is referring to the MS-4 Areas, which stands for Municipal Small Separate Storm Sewer System, and the County acts as an umbrella for the areas surrounding the municipalities of Longmont, Erie, Evans, LaSalle, and Greeley, which are located within unincorporated Weld County. He indicated the areas are required through the Clean Water Act, Phase 2, for communities which have a population in excess of 10,000, and the fees are collected through utility bills to put together drainage plans, education programs, delivery pipes, detention ponds, etcetera, in order to improve water quality. He further indicated this specific modification will ultimately support the effect of reducing sediment and water pollution to natural water courses, which is the intent of the Clean Water Act. In response to Commissioner Masden, Mr. Bauer confirmed the areas are federally mandated,even though many agricultural users do not experience runoff on their properties. Mr. Warden confirmed many of these property owners have completed an appeal process to have their fees reduced. No public testimony was provided regarding the matter. Mr. Barker recommended the proposed language within Section 8-11-110 be modified to be congruent with the previously stated language, "nine lots or fewer" instead of "fewer than nine lots." Commissioner Rademacher moved to approve Ordinance#2008-9 on first reading,with the modification as described by Mr. Barker. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Masden. Chair Jerke indicated it is important to create user-friendly policies which still work with federal regulations concerning the Clean Water Act, because the citizens of Weld County will be treated in a fair way. Commissioner Garcia stated the Board has found these modifications to be a priority after reviewing the needs of engineers within the private industry, and the Board was grateful to receive input. He expressed his appreciation to Mr. Bauer and Mr. Barker for their work on the matter. There being no further discussion, the motion carried unanimously.
