RESOLUTION
RE: ACCEPT WELD COUNTY ENGINEER' S RECOMMENDATION CONCERNING
CITIZENS PETITION ON PEACEFUL ACRES SUBDIVISION.
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County,
Colorado, pursuant to Colorado statute and the Weld County Home
Rule Charter, is vested with the authority of administering the
affairs of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, a citizens petition concerning streets in Peaceful
Acres Subdivision has been submitted to the Board of County Com-
missioners of Weld County, Colorado, and
WHEREAS, the citizens have requested, through said petition,
that the streets in Peaceful Acres Subdivision be graded, graveled
and oiled in 1980, and
WHEREAS, the Weld County Engineering Department staff has
made several visits to the site to investigate the conditions
at Peaceful Acres Subdivision, and
WHEREAS, the Weld County Engineer finds that said Subdivision
is bound on the East and South by high ditch banks and on the
North and West by higher ground. Rain and snow have no place
to drain, making the roads muddy until the water evaporates or
percolates away, and
WHEREAS, the Weld County Engineer recommends that the roads
be graded smooth and that gravel be spread on the roads, and
WHEREAS, the Weld County Engineer has further informed the
Board that before this situation can be remedied, it will be
necessary to design and construct a drainage system to collect
and remove run-off from the subdivision. The most feasible way
to correct the problem would be to form an improvement district.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Com-
missioners of Weld County, Colorado that the recommendation
of the Weld County Engineer concerning the streets in Peaceful
Acres Subdivision be, and hereby is, accepted, and that the
petitioners shall be informed of the foregoing recommendation.

Lamar Mrs. Lilland:
This is in response to the recent petition submitted to the Board of Weld
County Commissioners for improvements and maintenance to the streets in
Peaceful Acres Subdivision. The enclosed Board resolution is furnished you
for your information and dissemination to the other interested parties.
The subdivision was visited to inspect the problem by Commissioner Carlson,
myself, and the Engineering staff. It is clear that the most pressing need
is to correct the drainage problem of being lower than all the surrounding
property. A system to collect and remove storm drainage fran your streets
is absolutely necessary to solve the problem of mud and ruts whenever it
rains or snows. There is no place for the drainage to go except to lie on
the streets until it evaporates or percolates away.
The most feasible solution to this problem may be to provide a system of
surface drainage with a retention pond at the low point of the subdivision
that could pump out. A more elaborate solution would be to construct curb
and gutter with an internal collection system of storm sewers. Either of
these would take time; however, until sanething is done, any money spent
on upgrading the streets would be wasted.
The County does not have the resources to finance any such improverents.
There is a provision under the state law, whereby the County may form an
improvement district to do the engineering and construction of improvements
with tte costs being allocated equitably among the residents of the subdivision.
A copy of the applicable law is enclosed for information.
In the meantime, the County will do the best it can on grading your streets
when they are dry enough to work on. Mr. Willis Paden has stated that he
would haul gravel fran the County gravel pit and put on the streets after
they have bccn graded snwth. We will schedule further grading as often as
possible, but not less than once a month.

To We'd Cnrmty Cnnmissinners Date May 12. 1980
COLORADO From Wayne Smyth, Di rector of Engineering
Subject: Citizens Petition on Peaceful Acres
The attached petition requests that the streets of Peaceful Acres Si,hriivision
be graded, gravelled and oiled in 1980.
Several visits were made by the staff to the site to investigate conditions.
This four block suhdivision is laid out in a dead flat area just south of
Weld County Road 12 and west of old Highway 85 on Fort Lupton. It is bounded
on the east and south by high ditch banks, and on the north and west by higher
ground. Rain and melting snow literally have no place to drain, making the
roads constantly muddy, until the water evaporates or percolates away.
When dry weather permits, we can grade the roads smooth and spread a little
gravel, but this will not solve the problem. The next time it rains, the
streets will be saturated with run-off and become muddy a rutted again.
I recommend that the petitioners be advised of the foregoing and the nood to
design and construct a drainage system to collect and repave run-off from the
snhiivision before any workable improvements can be made on the streets. The
most feasible way to correct the problem would be to form an improvement
district.
In the meantime, the County will keep the streets graded when they are dry
enough to work on. The developer has said that he will haul gravel to the
streets if he can load at the County gravel pit. I will arrange this
operation with him.
