The Department of Planning Services' staff has not received responses from the following
agencies:
• Weld County Attorney's Office
• Oil and Gas Conservation Commission
• Town of Berthoud
• Town of Firestone
• Town of Frederick
• Town of Mead
• Little Thompson Water District
The Department of Planning Services in conjunction with the Weld County Attorney's Office and
Weld County Finance Department recommend that the Planning Commission approve the
attached Service Plan for St. Vrain Lakes PUD Metropolitan District for the following reason:
It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown
compliance with Section 32-1-203(2) and Section 32-1-203(2.5), C.R.S. as follows:
1. Section 32-1-203(2) states the Board of County Commissioners shall approve the
Service Plan unless evidence satisfactory to the Board of each of the following is
presented:
a) There is sufficient existing and projected need for organized service in the area
to be serviced by the proposed special district.
The submitted Service District #1 and supporting Financing Districts #2-4 are
proposed to provide urban services within an area of Weld County that is zoned
PUD with (E) Estate; (R-1) Low Density Residential; (R-2) Duplex Residential;
(R-3) Medium Density Residential; (R-4) High Density Residential; (C-1)
Neighborhood Commercial, (C-2) General Commercial and continuing Oil and
Gas Production Uses in the Mixed Use Development Overlay District. The
subdivision is identified as the St. Vrain Lakes PUD and comprises of
approximately 1313 acres with 4800 to 5131 residential lots with an average lot
size of 7500-8000 SF. There are also three commercial development areas (40
acres) and a municipal development area (22 acres), three school sites and 334
acres of open space. The PUD is located within the Mixed Use Development
(MUD) area, and within the three mile Municipal referral area with the Towns of
Mead, Firestone, and Frederick. The Board of County Commissioners approved
the Change of Zone application (PZ-1078) on March 15, 2006.
The applicant has indicated in their application that the financing plan and the
content of the service plan describe the overall development plans for the project.
The project will require substantial public improvements, in excess of
$99,000,000. in order to facilitate build-out. Implementation of an organized and
coordinated financing and phased construction program through the proposed
districts is crucial for a development of this size and scope. Accordingly, the
demand for the services and facilities to be provided by the districts is
demonstrable.
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 2
b) The existing service in the area to be sewed by the proposed special district is
inadequate for present and projected needs.
The applicant has indicated in their application that there are currently no other
entities in existence in the project area which have the ability and/or desire to
undertake the design, financing and construction of improvements needed for the
community. It is also the developer's understanding that the County does not
consider it feasible or practicable for the County to provide the necessary
services and facilities for the project. Consequently, use of the new districts is
deemed necessary for the provision of public improvements in the project.
Therefore, provision of facilities will not be available through other institutions.
The letter from Bernard, Lyons, Gaddis and Kahn representing the St. Vrain
Sanitation District dated July 21, 2006 states, "most if not all of the proposed
districts boundaries would fall within this districts boundaries and pursuant to
Sec. 32-1-107, C.R.S., a metro district possessing the same sanitation district
powers as the St. Vrain Sanitation District cannot be formed within the
boundaries of St. Vrain without a resolution of approval by this District's board of
Directors. This district is willing to grant such a resolution of consent provided
that the new metro district agrees to either an amendment of the submitted
service plan of the execution of an IGA that expressly limits the exercise of their
statutory powers so as to not conflict with this districts exercise of its powers,
service plan and service area." The St. Vrain Sanitation District has outlined nine
items to be addressed regarding the service plan.
Little Thompson Water District has not responded to the referral request at this
time.
c) The proposed special district is capable of providing economical and sufficient
service to the area within its proposed boundaries.
The referral dated July 23, 2006 addresses the concerns of Don Warden,
Director of Finance. Mr. Warden states, "St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts 1,
2, 3, and 4 prepared by Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc., and reviewed by
D.A. Davidson & Company appears to be financially feasible and prepared in
accordance with the Weld County Code Section 2-14-300). The maximum mill
levy of 65 mills with 50 mills maximum for debt service and up to 15 mills for
operations and maintenance is consistent and in compliance with Weld County
Code Section 2-14-20 (H). The maximum debt mill levy imposition term is
consistent and in compliance with Weld County Code Section 2-14-30."
The applicant has indicated in their application that the proposed districts are
necessary in order to provide at the most economical and efficient means of
undertaking the district activities to serve existing and future residents within their
respective boundaries. The financing plan demonstrates the feasibility of
providing the districts activities proposed here in on an economical basis. The
formation of the district will facilitate the financing of the proposed public
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 3
improvements in the most cost effective manner as the districts will have access
to tax-except financing not otherwise available to private entities.
d) The area to be included in the proposed special district has, or will have, the
financial ability to discharge the proposed indebtedness on a reasonable basis.
The referral dated July 23, 2006 addresses the concerns of Don Warden,
Director of Finance. Mr. Warden States, "St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts
1, 2, 3, and 4 prepared by Stan Bernstein and Associates, Inc., and reviewed by
D.A. Davidson & Company appears to be financially feasible and prepared in
accordance with the Weld County Code Section 2-14-300). The maximum mill
levy of 65 mills with 50 mills maximum for debt service and up to 15 mills for
operations and maintenance is consistent and in compliance with Weld County
Code Section 2-14-20 (H). The maximum debt mill levy imposition term is
consistent and in compliance with Weld County Code Section 2-14-30." In
conclusion, in review of the financial aspects of the service plan for St. Vrain
Lakes PUD Metropolitan District I find the plan to be consistent and in
compliance with all sections of the Weld County Code Article XIV relating to
financing of metropolitan districts. In addition, the Financial Plan for the St. Vrain
Lakes Metropolitan District prepared by George K. Baum & Company appears to
be financially feasible. Therefore, I recommend approval of the service plan."
The applicant has indicated in their application that the matters described in the
Consolidated Service Plan for St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan District #1-4 establish
that the creation of the district is in the best interest of the area to be served, in
that they establish a demand for public improvements that otherwise will be
unmet by other governmental entities. The districts also offer the advantage of
obtaining public financing to fund these improvements. In addition, the use of a
multiple district structure is beneficial, as it permits: (a) the phasing of
improvements to occur according to logical development modules, resulting in a
more specific association of cost with benefit and less incentive to initiate pubic
improvements programs too far in advance of development; (b) the ability to
arrange for delivery of public infrastructure in a manner that will conform to the
approved development plans that will be associated with the project in the future,
thus permitting development of the project in accordance with County
expectations; and (c) maintenance of a reasonably uniform mill levy and fee
structure through coordinated planning and financing for construction of public
improvements.
2. Section 32-1-203(2.5) states "the Board of County Commissioners may disapprove the
service plan if evidence satisfactory to the Board of any of the following, at the discretion
of the Board, is not permitted":
a) Adequate service is not, or will not be, available to the area through the county or
other existing municipal or quasi-municipal corporations, including existing
special districts, within a reasonable time and on a comparable basis.
The applicant has indicated in their application that there are no other
governmental agencies in existence within the area which have the legal and
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 4
financial ability to undertake the financing, design, and completion of the public
improvements needed to serve the St. Vrain Lakes PUD Development.
The letter from Bernard, Lyons, Gaddis and Kahn representing the St. Vrain
Sanitation District dated July 21, 2006 states, "most if not all of the proposed
districts boundaries would fall within this districts boundaries and pursuant to
Sec. 32-1-107, C.R.S., a metro district possessing the same sanitation district
powers as the St. Vrain Sanitation District can not be formed within the
boundaries of St. Vrain without a resolution of approval by this District's board of
Directors. This district is willing to grant such a resolution of consent provided
that the new metro district agrees to either an amendment of the submitted
service plan of the execution of an IGA that expressly limits the exercise of their
statutory powers so as to not conflict with this districts exercise of its powers,
service plan and service area." The St. Vrain Sanitation District has outlined nine
items to be addressed regarding the service plan.
Little Thompson Water District has not responded to the referral request at this
time.
b) The facility and service standards of the proposed special district are compatible
with the facility and service standards of each county within which the proposed
special district is to be located and each municipality which is an interested party
under Section 32-1-204(1).
The applicant has indicated in their application that the service plan and all
applicable rules and regulations of the County and other jurisdictions require that
all facility and service standards associated with the public improvements must
be met. Consequently, all facility and service standards will be compatible with
all governing jurisdictions.
c) The proposal is in substantial compliance with a master plan adopted pursuant to
Section 30-28-106, C.R.S.
The proposed Services Plans are in conformance with the adopted Weld County
Comprehensive (Master) Plan.
The applicant has indicated in their application that the service plan clearly states
that all pubic improvements must be in accordance applicable ordinances, codes
and regulations of the County, inclusive of the applicable master plan and any
water quality management plan. The service plans future makes it clear that the
County has exclusive jurisdiction over all property development issues within the
boundaries of the districts.
d) The proposal is in compliance with any duly adopted county, regional, or state
long-range water quality management plan for the area.
The Department of Planning Services has not received a referral from the Little
Thompson Water District at this time and is unable to evaluate water quality
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 5
standards, although the proposed District presumably would comply with state
and other jurisdictional requirements.
e) The creation of the proposed special district will be in the best interests of the
area proposed to be served.
The applicant has indicated in their application that the matters in the service
plan establish that the creation of the districts is in the best interests of the area
to be served, in that they establish a significant demand for public improvements
that will not otherwise be provided by existing governmental entities. The
districts offer the advantage of obtaining pubic financing to fund these
improvements. In addition, the use of a multiple district structure is beneficial , as
it permits: (a) the phasing of improvements to occur according to logical
development modules, resulting in a more specific association of cost with
benefit and less incentive to initiate pubic improvements programs too far in
advance of development; (b) the ability to arrange for delivery of public
infrastructure in a manner that will conform to the approved development plans
that will be associated with the project in the future, thus permitting development
of the project in accordance with County expectations; and (c) maintenance of a
reasonably uniform mill levy and fee structure through coordinated planning and
financing for construction of public improvements.
3. Section 2-14-10 states "The County establishes the following as its policy for the
review and approval or disapproval of Service Plans, including any amendment
thereof, for Metropolitan District and other Title 32 Special Districts."
a) Section 2-14-10.8 The County generally accepts the formation of districts where
it is demonstrated the formation of a district is needed to provide public services
or facilities to local development and will result in benefits to existing or future
residents of the County and the District. Section 2-14-10.8
The submitted Service District and supporting Financing Districts are proposed to
provide urban services within an area of Weld County that is zoned PUD with (E)
Estate; (R-1) Low Density Residential; (R-2) Duplex Residential; (R-3) Medium
Density Residential; (R-4) High Density Residential; (C-1) Neighborhood
Commercial, (C-2) General Commercial and continuing Oil and Gas Production
Uses in the Mixed Use Development Overlay District. Identified as the St. Vrain
Lakes PUD and comprising of approximately 1313 acres with 4800 to 5131
residential lots with an average lot size of 7500-8000 SF. There are also three
commercial development areas (40 acres) and a municipal development area (22
acres), three school sites and 334 acres of open space. The PUD is located
within the Mixed Use Development (MUD) area, and within the three mile
Municipal referral area with the Towns of Mead, Firestone, and Frederick. The
Board of County Commissioner approved the Change of Zone application (PZ-
1078) on March 15, 2006.
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 6
b) Section 2-14-20.C The Service Plan shall enumerate and describe all powers
requested on behalf of the district. Demonstration of the need or benefit of each
power is required. Powers which are not clearly needed will not be approved in
the service plan.
As previously discussed, the need for urban-level services has been adequately
demonstrated. The applicant has indicated in their application that the districts
expect and are authorized to own, operate and maintain certain public
improvements not dedicated to the County or other governmental entitles, the
scope of which shall include, but not necessarily be limited to park and recreation
improvements, lake and water amenities within the project and associated
recreation facilities and buildings. Certain other public improvements will be
dedicated to either County, or in the case of water a sanitation improvements to
the Little Thompson Water District and the St. Vrain Sanitation District,
respectively, according to the requisite procedures for eth specific entity.
Determination of both the scope and manner in which specific public
improvements will be dedicated to the County and/or other governmental entities
will be the subject of separate agreements among the interested parties.
c) Section 2-14-20.D Any Intergovernmental Agreement which is required, or known
at the time of formation of the District to likely be required to fulfill the purposes of
the District, must be described in the Service Plan, along with supporting
rationale. The Service Plan shall provide that execution of intergovernmental
agreements by the District that are not described in the Service Plan shall require
45 day notice publication and written notice to the County pursuant to Section 32-
1-207(3)(6), C.R.S.
The proposed Service Plans explain that water and sanitation services will be
provided via an Agreement with the St. Vrain Sanitation District and the Little
Thompson Water District.
d) Section 2-14-20. E The Service Plan shall include the description of any planned
inclusion into, or exclusion of property from, the District's boundaries. The
Service Plan shall provide that inclusions or executions by the District that are
not described in the Service Plan shall require 45 day notice publication and
written notice to the County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(6), C.R.S.
The proposed Plans do provide for County notification and/or consideration of
any expansion or contraction of the District, regardless of the size of the potential
area. Any proposed inclusion or exclusion of property shall require forty-five day
published and written notice to the County made pursuant to Section 23-1-
207(3)(b) C.R.S.
e) Section 2-14-20.F The Service Plan shall describe any planned extraterritorial
service agreement. The Service Plan shall provide that any extraterritorial
service agreements by the District that are not described in the Service Plan shall
require 45 day notice publication and written notice to the County pursuant to
Section 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S.
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 7
The Plans as proposed do exclude the possibility of extraterritorial service
agreements. With the specific exemption of facilities to be constructed outside
the boundaries of the districts and which are necessary for the development of
the project and are set forth as part of the primary infrastructure plan, the district
may only provide services to properties outside the districts service area
pursuant to extraterritorial service agreements with the written consent of the
County's Board of County Commissioners. Any extraterritorial service
agreements entered into by the district that are not described in the service plan
shall require forty-five day notice publication and written notice to the County
pursuant to Section 31-1-207(3)(b) C.R.S.
f) Section 2-14-20.G The Service Plan shall outline any anticipated plans or needs
for the exercise, by the District, of its power of eminent domain. The Service
Plan will contain language limiting the use of the District's power of eminent
domain to carry out the District's essential functions and services as well to
implement the intent of the "Primary Infrastructure Plan" as defined in the Model
Service Plan described in Section 2-14-60. The use of eminent domain will be
undertaken strictly in compliance with State laws. The Service Plan shall provide
that use of eminent domain or change in the Primary Infrastructure Plan by the
District not described in the Service Plan shall require 45 day notice publication
and written notice to the County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S.
The proposed Plans do limit the Districts' eminent domain powers. The districts
shall have the power to exercise the power of eminent domain, but only in
connection with carrying out the districts essential purposes and functions and
the districts primary infrastructure plan, provided further, that the use of eminent
domain shall be undertake in strict compliance with State and Federal law. The
use of eminent domain or a material change in the primary infrastructure plan by
the districts not otherwise contemplated herein or required by an approved
development plan shall require forth-five day published and written notice to the
County pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b)C.R.S.
g) Section 2-14-20.H The Service Plan shall restrict the District's debt service mill
levy authorization to 50 mills (the "Debt Service Mill Levy Cap'). The Service
Plan shall restrict the District's total aggregate mill levy (debt service mill levy
plus operations and maintenance mill levy) to sixty-five (65) mill (the `Aggregate
Mill Levy Cap').
The maximum mill levy of 65 mills with 50 mills maximum for debt service and up
to 15 mills for operations and maintenance is consistent and in compliance with
Weld County Code Section 2-14-20 (H). The maximum debt mill levy imposition
term is consistent and in compliance with Weld County Code Section 2-14-30.
h) Section 2-14-20.J The Service Plan shall require that 30 days prior to an election
thereon, proposed ballot questions for a formation election, debt authorization, or
de-Brucing will be submitted to Weld County for filing and review. Weld County
shall have the right to object to any ballot questions not in compliance with the
Service Plan as a major modification of the District's Service Plan pursuant to
Section 32-1-207(3)(a), C.R.S.
St. Vrain Lakes Metropolitan Districts Page 8
The proposed Plans do provide for any notification and consideration by the
County for proposed ballot questions for formation elections, debt authorization,
or "de-Brucing" clauses. No later than thirty days prior to an election thereon,
proposed ballot questions for a formation election, dept authorization or de-
Brucing will be submitted to the County for filing and review.
i) Section 2-14-40.A It is the intent of Weld County that "citizen/resident"control of
Districts be encouraged to occur as early as possible.
The applicant has indicated in their application that the districts are proposed to
exist pursuant to a multiple district structure as the projected absorption of the
project and public improvements to be financed is projected to extend well over a
ten year period from the date anticipated for organization of the districts.
Additionally, the project includes multiple uses including various types of
residential products and commercial development. The boundaries of the three
financing districts are based upon two separate phases of residential
development and a separate parcel that shall include commercial development.
District number 1 is proposed to be the service district and is expected to
coordinate the manner in which the district activities shall be conducted with and
between each of the financing district pursuant to one for more district IGA's.
j) Section 2-14-50 The Service Plan shall provide for the dissolution of the District
after the District's debts and financial obligations are fully defeased and the
District has completed all of its operations and maintenance responsibilities. A
district with long-term, on-going operations and maintenance will not be obligated
to dissolve. However, the Service Plan must provide that in the event said
obligations are someday undertaken by another party, or are otherwise no longer
the responsibility of the District, it shall be required to dissolve.
The applicant has indicated in their application that after all bonds or their debt
instruments have been issued by the districts and adequate provision has been
made for payment of all debt of the service district and financing districts, the
electorate of the districts will have the opportunity to consider either the
consolidation of the service district and financing district into a single entity, of the
dissolution of the service district and/or financing districts in accordance the state
law.
Prior to the Board of County Commissioners hearing:
(a) The applicant shall amend the Metropolitan District to include the concerns of the Weld
County Department of Public Works as stated in their email dated July 24, 2006 &
memorandum dated July 25, 2006. Evidence of approval shall be submitted to the
Department of Planning Services.
