Watson Assistant Superintendent Business Services 5 December 2006 Hannah Hippely Weld County Planning Department 918 10th Street Greeley,CO 80631 RE: Black Hollow Acres Zone Change/Final Plat CZ-1135 Dear Ms.FIippely: The above referenced Change of Zone and Final Plat are proposed for two lots on approximately 29 acres located on north of and adjacent to Weld County Road 86 and west of Weld County Road 19. Although student and land impacts associated with this project appear minimal, already approved residential development within the area of the project contributes to a substantial cumulative impact upon Weld County School District Re-4. In addition, the effect upon school site planning is significant because of the difficulty in acquiring school sites in the appropriate locations and sizes to serve such dispersed development. Given the rapid growth of other areas within the School District, Weld Re-4 remains concerned with its financial ability to provide for continuing growth within the area of the project. This and related concerns are discussed in detail below. Site Issues Windsor School District understands that the project proposes to rezone the property from Agricultural to Estate use, creating two single-family residential units. At this time, land dedication is not feasible to offset the impact of growth upon the School District. Therefore, District Re-4 requests cash-in-lieu of land for both lots at the current market value of land within the area (see recommendations). Should the land use of either lot change, the District requests the opportunity to respond to any proposed land use changes. Given the substantial. amount of residential development opportunity within District, it is strongly recommended that the County, Towns and the School District master plan the cumulative effects of growth upon existing and future school sites. WELD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-4 Business Services 1020 Main Street • P-O. Box 609 • Windsor, CO 80550 • (970) 686-8000 • Fax (970) 686.5280 VEU-Ub-2U06 'I'UE 09:07 AM WINDSOR SCHOOL DISTRICT FAX NO. 92R 686 5280 P. 03/05 Facility and Fiscal Capacity Issues Grandview Elementary School., Windsor Middle School and Windsor High School currently serve this area. Capacities and.recent enrollments of these schools are: Seats Student Enrollment Available School (Grades) Capacity (09/1/06) (Short) Grandview Elem. School.(K-5) 400 361 39 Windsor Middle School (6-8) 700 813 (113) Windsor High School(9-12) 1,240 976 264 Capacities of the schools that will serve this proposed development are either surpassing or quickly approaching their design limit. Accelerated residential growth and stron.g growth potential heighten the School District's concern regarding its ability to provide adequate educational opportunities. Approved development far exceeds the District's current capacity to fund educational facilities. Consequently, approval of this project would exacerbate the expected seat (capacity) shortages. As of July 1, 2006, the District's total bonding capacity approximated $56.2 million at 20 percent of assessed valuation per state statute. Debt outstanding from the previous bond election is 534.2 million leaving $22 million available for future facility needs throughout the District. Given residential development and student potential from already approved but not completed projects, this amount is sorely deficient to provide the necessary school. facilities. If recent rates of growth are maintained, several schools at all levels will be required to serve the student population. For example, the District expects that within the next five to ten years, a new high school will likely be required. The costs associated with building a new high school will, by itself, more than consume the remaining debt capacity, compromising the District's ability to provide for other areas of need, especially at the middle school level. Inadequate bonding capacity is the direct result of residential growth occurring at a pace that well exceeds the District's statutorily limited ability to fund school construction. Recommendations The School District remains very concerned about the recent trend toward accelerated residential activity and the ensuing enrollment that will follow as well as the District's physical and financial abilities to serve that growth. Because land dedication is not feasible from a development of this size, the District requests that the developer agree to pay cash. in lieu of land. Recent reviews of data regarding land sales suggest that the cash-in-lieu amount should increase from $1,200 to $2,240 per single-family detached unit (see attached calculations). Therefore, it is requested that the County apply this valuation for all property within the School District. Assuming payment of cash-in-lieu of land at the updated value of 52,240 per unit, the School District does not object to approval of this Recorded Exemption. In addition, the School District requests to be notified of any proposed land use changes associated with either lot. Cooperation of all Page 2 of 3 DEC-05_2006 TUE 09: 07 AM WINDSOR SCHOOL DISTRICT FAX NO. 97Q_686 5280 P. 04/05 parties is necessary in offsetting the adverse fiscal impacts of rapid residential growth upon the School District's statutorily limited resources.
