October 6, 2005 Mr. Chris Paulson Pioneer Communities, Inc. 9145 E. Kenyon Avenue, Suite 200 Denver, CO 80237 Re: Pioneer Development Weld County, Colorado (LSC #050950) Dear Chris: We have completed our analysis of the expected regional traffic impacts from the proposed Pioneer development in Weld County, Colorado. This letter report is written in support of amending the Weld County Comprehensive Plan in order to create a new urban area of approximately nine square miles to the urban growth area. Figure 1, attached to this letter, illustrates the location of the proposed Pioneer development. The site is located north of Inter- state Highway 76 and east of US Highway 85 near the intersection of Weld County Road (WCR) 49 and WCR 22 in Weld County, Colorado. Preliminary planning envisions the construction of approximately 8,000 single-family dwelling units, 2,000 townhome dwelling units, and 200,000 square feet of retail space on the site. Access to the site will be from WCR 49 and WCR 22. This study first provides a summary of existing traffic conditions within the vicinity of the site. It then provides estimates of the amount and directional distribution of traffic that will be generated by the proposed development as well as estimates of the Year 2025 back- ground traffic plus site-generated traffic volumes on the surrounding road system. Finally, recommendations are made regarding roadway improvements in the vicinity of the site. The following summarizes our analysis. Site Location and Pr000sed Access The location of the proposed Pioneer development is shown in Figure 1. The site is located north of I-76 and east of US 85 near the intersection of WCR 49 and WCR 22 in Weld County, Colorado. Access to the site will be from WCR 49 and WCR 22. Existing Street Network Major roadways in the vicinity of the site are described below with a brief discussion of anticipated future roadway improvements. Mr. Chris Paulson Page 2 October 6, 2005 • WCR 22 is currently a two-lane roadway with east-west continuity from US 85 on the west to WCR 49 on the east. WCR 22 currently has a 25-foot roadway cross-section and a 35 mph posted speed limit in the vicinity of the site. WCR 22 is designated as a "Strategic Roadway" by Weld County and is expected to be extended to the east and to connect to SH 119. • WCR 49 is currently a two-lane roadway with north-south continuity from I-76 on the south to US Highway 34 on the north. WCR 49 currently has a 40-foot roadway cross-section and a 65 mph posted speed limit in the vicinity of the site. WCR 49 is designated as a"Strategic Roadway"by Weld County and is expected to be extended to the north to SH 14 and to the south to the Denver International Airport. • 1-76 is a four-lane interstate highway which traverses in a northwest direction from the City of Denver on the southwest to the northwest corner of the State of Colorado. There is currently a full diamond interchange at the junction of 1-76 and WCR 49. Existing and Future Background Traffic Conditions Figure 2 shows existing traffic volumes and Year 2025 traffic volume projections on WCR 22, WCR 49, and I-76. Existing traffic volumes on WCR 22 and WCR 49 are based on traffic counts conducted by Counter Measures Inc. in June, 2005. Actual traffic volume count data are enclosed with this report. The existing and 2025 background traffic projections for 1-76 are based on data from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) web site. In addition, Year 2025 traffic projections on WCR 22 and WCR 49 were derived by applying the CDOT 20-year growth rate of 2.0 to the existing traffic volumes. A copy of the data from the CDOT website is enclosed with this report. Trio Generation The current planning for the proposed Pioneer development envisions construction of approximately 8,000 single-family dwelling units, 2,000 townhome dwelling units, and 200,000 square feet of retail space on the site. The amount of traffic that will be generated by the proposed development has been estimated based upon the trip generation rates which are published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) in the 7th Edition, 2003, of Trip Generation and is summarized in the attached table. As the attached table shows,we estimate that the proposed development would generate 92,574 external vehicle-trips on an average weekday at full buildout. Trip Distribution The directional distribution of site-generated traffic onto adjacent roadways, which provide access to and from the proposed Pioneer development, is one of the most important components in the assessment of the proposed development's traffic impacts. Major factors which influence the traffic distribution assumptions include: Mr. Chris Paulson Page 3 October 6, 2005 • The site's location relative to the surrounding area; • The roadway network servicing the site; • The type of land use anticipated for the site. Considering the combined effects of these factors, specific traffic distribution estimates have been made. Figure 3 illustrates the directional distribution of the new traffic to be generated by the proposed expansion. It is estimated that 15 percent of the site-generated traffic will be oriented to/from the north on WCR 49, 15 percent will be oriented to/from the west on WCR 22, 55 percent will be oriented to/from the south on WCR 49, and 15 percent will be oriented to/from the east on the proposed Keensburg Parkway. Of the 55 percent oriented to/from the south on WCR 49, 20 percent will be oriented to/from WCR 49 south of I-76, 45 percent will be oriented to/from the west on I-76,and two percent will be oriented to/from the east on 1-76. Of the 15 percent oriented to/from the proposed Keensburg Parkway, 12 percent will be oriented to/from the west on I-76,two percent will be oriented to/from the east on I-76, and the remaining one percent will be oriented to/from Keensburg. Short Term Analysis As previously stated,55 percent of the site-generated traffic is expected to travel to/from south WCR 49, and therefore WCR 49 south of the site will be the first roadway required to be improved to handle the additional traffic from the proposed Pioneer development. As Figure 2 illustrates, WCR 49 currently carries approximately 3,000 vehicles per day and has a capacity of 12,000 vehicles per day. That leaves an excess capacity of 9,000 vehicles per day that can be utilized by the traffic generated by the Pioneer development without requiring roadway improvements. One single-family dwelling unit generates approximately 9.57 trips per day and therefore, we estimate that approximately 1,700 dwelling units can be constructed and occupied prior to the need to increase capacity on the existing roadway system. In addition, improvements including, but not limited to, turn lanes and a traffic signal at the WCR 49/ WCR 22 intersection will likely be required at the onset of development. Trip Assignment and Traffic Impacts Figure 4 illustrates expected Year 2025 peak-hour traffic impacts in the vicinity of the site. Site-generated traffic and total traffic are shown for both AM and PM peak-hours. The average daily traffic impacts of the proposed Pioneer development can be expressed in terms of average daily traffic (ADT) volumes, in which site-generated traffic is shown as an increment of the Year 2025 total traffic. Daily site-generated traffic volumes are illustrated in Figure 5 along with expected total average daily traffic volumes and percent impact from the proposed development. The site-generated traffic for the proposed expansion will constitute approximately 67 percent of the traffic on WCR 49 north of the site, 93 percent of traffic on WCR 49 south of the site, 93 �.� Mr. Chris Paulson Page 4 October 6, 2005 percent of traffic on WCR 22 west of the site, 60 percent of the traffic on I-76 southwest of the site, and 86 percent of the traffic on WCR 49 south of I-76. Recommendations Figure 5 illustrates roadway improvement recommendations for WCR 49, WCR 22, and the interchange of 1-76 with WCR 49. These recommendations are based on the estimated Year 2025 daily traffic volumes shown on Figure 4 and are summarized below: • WCR 22 should be reconstructed as a four-lane arterial west of WCR 49. • WCR 49 should be reconstructed as a four-lane arterial north of WCR 22 and a six- lane arterial south of WCR 22. • The existing I-76/WCR 49 interchange should be reconstructed to increase capacity. • The existing I-76/Keensburg interchange may need to be improved to increase capacity. Conclusions Based upon the foregoing analysis, the following conclusions may be made regarding the proposed Pioneer development: 1. When completed, the proposed Pioneer development is expected to contain approximately 8,000 single-family dwelling units, 2,000 townhome dwelling units, and 200,000 square feet of retail space on the site. We estimate that the proposed development would generate approximately 92,524 external vehicle-trips on an average weekday at full buildout. 2. It is estimated that 15 percent of the site-generated traffic will be oriented to/from the north on WCR 49, 15 percent win be oriented to/from the west on WCR 22, 45 percent will be oriented to/from the west on 1-76, 20 percent will be oriented to/from the south on WCR 49, and the remaining 15 percent will be oriented to/from the future Keensburg Property. 3. The site-generated traffic for the proposed expansion will constitute approximately 67 percent of the traffic on WCR 49 north of the site, 93 percent of traffic on WCR 49 south of the site, 93 percent of traffic on WCR 22 west of the site, 60 percent of the traffic on 1-76 southwest of the site, and 86 percent of the traffic on WCR 49 south of I-76. 4. The following roadway improvements are recommended: • WCR 22 should be reconstructed as a four-lane arterial west of WCR 49. �.. Mr. Chris Paulson Page 5 October 6, 2005 • WCR 49 should be reconstructed as a four-lane arterial north WCR 22 and a six-lane arterial south of WCR 22. • The existing I-76/WCR 49 interchange should be reconstructed to increase capacity. • The existing I-76/Keensburg interchange may need to be improved to increase capacity. 5. It is estimated that approximately 1,700 dwelling units can be constructed and occupied prior to the need to increase capacity on the existing roadway system. 6. Improvements including but not limited to turn lanes and a traffic signal will likely be required at the WCR 49/WCR 22 intersection at the onset of development. 7.

Public facilities and services including sewer and water will be provided and developed in a timely, orderly and efficient manner utilizing a master metropolitan water and sewer district to support the transition of less productive agricultural land to other, more urban, uses. The Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District (Resource Colorado) has an approved Service Plan and is currently planning water and sewer infrastructure to provide services to the area of the proposed development as well as other areas in Weld and Adams counties. In accordance with its approved Service Plan, Resource Colorado will, among other things, provide water and sewer services to municipalities, counties, authorities, special districts, water companies and ditch companies, as well as state, local and private entities who will in turn distribute the water, collect sewage and otherwise service and bill the individual residential or commercial users or customers. In accordance with the approved Service Plan, Resource Colorado cannot provide water or sewer services directly to any individual residential or commercial users or customers. Accordingly, other water and sanitation districts are being planned to directly serve the proposed development. WATER In support of Pioneer's comprehensive plan amendment, Gateway American Resources has summarized and quantified the various components of the overall water supply plan for the project. For the purpose of this summary, there are six components to the overall water supply plan: 1) source, 2) supply, 3) demand, 4) use, 5) return flow and 6) augmentation. Descriptions for each of these components and quantifications of each are provided below. SOURCE The sources of water for the overall water supply plan include designated ground water from the Lost Creek Basin near Prospect Valley, Denver Basin water underlying properties near Prospect Valley and the Pioneer properties, alluvial water along Box Elder Creek and surface water from the Henrylyn Irrigation District introduced to the Box Elder Creek Basin. For buildout of 10,000 equivalent residential units (ERUs) and 1,280 acres of agricultural crops on the Pioneer, the estimated quantities from each of these sources are tabulated below. Annual Quantity Source (acre-feet) Prospect Valley 2,250.0 Denver Basin 1,458.5 Box Elder Alluvium 2,477.5 Henrylyn 0.0 r SUPPLY Combined, the sources of water identified above equate to an annual supply of 6,186.0 acre-feet. DEMAND The total water demand for Pioneer, based upon the needs of 10,000 ERUs and 1,280 acres of agricultural crops, is equal to 6,186.0 acre-feet, annually. USE The water uses for Pioneer include indoor and outdoor residential demands associated with the 10,000 ERUs, as well as the agricultural needs associated with the 1,280 acres of crops. The residential demands are based upon 0.265 acre-feet of water per ERU for indoor uses and 0.05 acre-feet of water per 1,000 square feet of irrigated lawn per ERU. Pioneer's development plan includes an average of 3,000 square feet of irrigated lawn per ERU, so the residential demands are based upon 0.15 acre-feet of water per ERU for outdoor uses. The agricultural needs associated with the 1,280 acres of crops are based upon a brief report prepared by Mr. Marc Arnusch and attached to this analysis as Appendix F-1. The content of the report summarizes the results of a weather/evapotranspiration model that calculated water use based upon the Keenesburg elevation and average rainfall events, predicted weather occurrences, crop selection and irrigation efficiencies. The report presents the highest water demand for the most likely farming scenario. The most likely farming scenario provides the most flexibility to make sound business decisions based upon market opportunities and allow for the goals to be achieved of the farming entity. The selected farming scenario also meets one of the objectives of the project which is to mesh with the evolving residential community while maintaining overall appearance and economic viability. The estimated quantities for each of the uses are tabulated below. Annual Quantity Use (acre-feet) .-. Indoor Residential 2,650.0 Outdoor Residential 1,500.0 Agricultural 2,036.0 RETURN FLOW The return flows of the residential demand are equal to 85 percent of the indoor water use and 15 percent of the outdoor water use. The annual quantities based upon 10,000 ERUs are tabulated below. Return flow associated with the agricultural needs of the project are anticipated to be negligible and are therefore not included in the table below. Annual Quantity Return Flow (acre-feet) Indoor Residential 2,252.5 Outdoor Residential 225.0 Agricultural 0.0 AUGMENTATION The return flows identified immediately above can be summed to quantify an amount of water to be made available annually for augmentation of water pumped from the Box Elder Alluvium to meet the respective source quantities on an annual basis. This summation results in an annual quantity of 2,477.5 acre-feet for augmentation. The actual amount of augmentation water available can also be supplemented with surface water that is introduced to Box Elder Creek from the Henrylyn Irrigation District. Resource Colorado's planning efforts also include a potential for utilization of water for agricultural purposes beyond the Pioneer project, as well as the possible use of water for other municipal interests in Weld and Adams counties. The projected return flows presented above, as well as additional water introduced to Box Elder Creek via the Henrylyn Irrigation District, could support additional agriculture in the Box Elder Creek drainage basin. These return flows could also be used, in part, in the development of the irrigation component of a dual water system and thereby reduce demands of the potable water system. Initially, a dual water system may be constructed to meet the potable and non-potable needs of the development, with potable water flowing in both systems. Over time, as the development grows, the non-potable irrigation system will carry only non-potable water which may consist of a combination of treated wastewater effluent (reuse water), shallow alluvial groundwater augmented by treated wastewater return flows and/or deep aquifer groundwater. The use of non-potable water will reduce the demand on the potable water system and implement a more beneficial water resource plan. A water quality database for the Prospect Valley wells has been developed and reviewed for compliance with the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulations. The database will be expanded to include water quality information from the Denver Basin Sources and the Box Elder Alluvium as this information is acquired. As previously noted, in accordance with the approved Service Plan, Resource Colorado cannot provide water services directly to any individual residential or commercial users or customers. Accordingly, other water and sanitation districts are being planned to directly serve the proposed development. Regardless of this limitation, Resource Colorado will become a public water system regulated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Water Quality Control Division. As a public water system, Resource Colorado will monitor the safety of the water it provides as a source of water to the drinking water supply of Pioneer. The longevity of the Lost Creek Designated Ground Water Basin is documented in numerous reports and has been determined to be a sustainable source expected to continue to produce the quantities of water appropriated for domestic use for each of the respective wells. Furthermore, the State of Colorado Ground Water Commission's Rules and Regulations for the Management and Control of Designated Ground Water (2 CCR 410-1) establish the management criteria or allowable rate of depletion for ground water in each designated ground water basin. The management criteria are used as the basis for the review of applications to use ground water when any person desires to appropriate ground water for beneficial use. The management criteria establish the basis to determine whether a proposed permit would result in unreasonable impairment to existing water rights. The rules and regulations also establish equitable standards for the review of applications to change a right to use designated ground water and set limitations necessary to prevent material injury. WASTEWATER The projected return flows from indoor uses presented above will be delivered to the Box Elder Creek in the form of effluent from a wastewater treatment facility. At a public hearing, conducted September 22, 2005, the North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association (Association) conditionally approved Resource Colorado's request to amend the Areawide Water Quality Management Plan (208 Plan). Resource Colorado's amendment request sought designation as a Management/Operating Agency in the biannual update to the 208 Plan. Attached to this analysis as Appendix F-2 is a letter from the Association summarizing Resource Colorado's plan amendment request and the conditions to its approval. In accordance with the Association's 208 Plan amendment process, Resource Colorado's plan amendment will be submitted to the Water Quality Control Commission for its concurrence and approval. The conditional approval of Resource Colorado's plan amendment request is the first of many steps to plan, site, design, build and permit the initial phase of a future regional wastewater treatment facility to serve the Pioneer development area, as well as possibly the surrounding areas. Resource Colorado's current wastewater planning includes service, via service provider districts, to the outlying, larger lots in lieu of the individual sewage disposal systems common of larger lots. Resource Colorado intends to construct a state-of-the-art mechanical wastewater treatment facility that minimizes environmental impacts, maximizes economic and institutional benefits and recognizes the stream classifications and standards of the water body that will receive treated effluent from the facility. The proposed treatment facility's planning includes consideration of opportunities for regionalization in the Box Elder Creek and adjacent drainage basins to avoid duplication of costs and promote efficiency. Because a portion of the initial source of the water which results in flows through the facility may be from sources other than tributary South Platte sources, the discharged effluent could be a recharge resource to support agriculture in the Box Elder Creek drainage basin. The proposed wastewater treatment facility will be located on property within the proposed development and will be constructed in phases to provide adequate capacity to meet anticipated development needs. Resource Colorado's Areawide Water Quality Management Plan Amendment Application included general planning information for the 10,000 ERUs proposed for Pioneer properties, as well as other areas in the vicinity including the Towns of Hudson and Keenesburg, for an ultimate capacity of 4.0 million gallons per day. Resource Colorado's intent is to facilitate construction of treatment plant capacities that will meet growth projections in its sewer service area as the sewer service area increases. The initial phase of construction will result in a treatment facility with a permitted capacity of 300,000 to 400,000 gallons per day. Once the initial and subsequent phases reach 80 percent of their respective design capacities, final planning and engineering of the next capacity phase will begin, with actual construction of the next capacity phase commencing once actual plant loadings reach 95 percent of the facility's design capacity. The new treatment facility will be operated in accordance with a discharge permit to be issued by the Colorado Water Quality Control Division in accordance with the Colorado Water Quality Control Act. STORMWATER Stormwater impacts resulting from the development of the Pioneer properties will be adequately addressed through development of best management practices, stormwater management structures such as on-site retention basins and water quality enhancement improvements, before being discharged at or below historic rates to receiving streams. Pioneer Communities is prepared to address increased runoff associated with future development and land use changes. Pioneer Communities, via a regional metropolitan district, envisions the development of an overall basis for a watershed-wide approach to stormwater management that would be the most beneficial to the development properties and Weld County as stormwater runoff does not recognize municipal boundaries. Often, previously implemented stormwater management programs have not adequately addressed the total impacts from numerous developments within a watershed. Furthermore, regulating future development within the watershed generally does not relieve existing problems but an effective stormwater master plan may offer solutions to the historical problems, as well as prevention of future problems. An effective stormwater master plan must achieve the integration of water quality and water quantity control and must include a comprehensive and proactive assessment of existing stormwater issues, including the overall drainage system and stream inventory of the watershed, as well as drainage system maintenance requirements and public education efforts. The overall effort shall include a strong watershed approach to stormwater management. Fully developed conditions for 2, 5, 10 and 50-year events, as well as 100-year design storm flows, must be assessed to determine the minimum levels of protection and provide for adequate water quality protection. Special consideration should be given to all identified floodplains within and adjacent to the development boundaries, and development within floodplain and flood-fringe areas should be discouraged. FEMA net-rise standards should be the standard measure utilized in all floodplain assessments, and all stormwater master planning and design should follow the latest version of the Urban Drainage Criteria. AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES The availability of services such as electricity, transportation, water, natural gas, sewer, sheriff and fire protection will determine the intensity of development allowed in the overall area. Rather than looking to other sources of water and sewer service for the subject area, the developers have made arrangements for the provision of adequate services through the conveyance of resources to the Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation Metropolitan District so that the development of the property will proceed in conjunction with the availability of the required services. Resource Colorado's commitment to serve Pioneer properties is reflected in the "will serve" letter included as Appendix B. The "will serve" provisions for water will require the developers to acquire water facilities from PV Water Holdings LLC, or its affiliated companies, in accordance with a Water Resource Agreement. Upon acquisition of the water facilities from PV Water Holdings LLC or its affiliated companies, the developers of Pioneer properties will convey those water facilities to the planned water and sanitation districts that will be formed to serve the property. The planned water and sanitation districts to be formed to serve Pioneer properties will in turn convey those water facilities to Resource Colorado in accordance with a Water Delivery Agreement. The "will serve" provisions for sewer will require the developers to work through the planned water and sanitation districts that will be formed to serve the property. The planned water and sanitation districts to be formed to serve Pioneer properties will receive sewer service from Resource Colorado in accordance with a Wastewater Connector Agreement. The actual timing and phasing of the water and sewer services will occur in an orderly and efficient manner to support the transition of agricultural land to other development uses while optimizing the use of prime agricultural land. Appendix F -1 Agricultural Water Demand The approach to determining overall water demand starts by using the Penman-Monteith equation to estimate potential evapotranspiration. Crop specific coefficients determined over various growing season adjust potential evapotranspiration as estimated by Penman- Monteith. An adjusted Denver weather climate simulation, modified for a Keenesburg location, is used to estimate average climatic conditions. The water demand for the agricultural properties located within the Pioneer Communities is calculated using the following assumptions. Assumptions: ❑ The transition away from the current crop selection and management practices to the adoption of higher value and management intensive crop selections, including multiple crops per acre, within a five-year period is completed. o A minimal increase in the amount of irrigated acres through establishment of drip irrigation systems; both surface and sub-surface applications, while bringing into production underutilized acres from removed center pivots and adjacent land that is suitable for targeted applications. Completed installation realized within five years. ❑ Maintaining limited overhead sprinkler irrigation for the enterprise of turf grass management as a means of effectively applying multiple sources of irrigation water, including effluent. ❑ Irrigation efficiency of 90% is used to calculate overall planned irrigation applications. Drip irrigation efficiency may exceed 98%, however 90% is much more realistic. ❑ All crop water use requirements are based upon actual crop needs, soil water holding capacity, irrigation method, and timing. Practical Handbook of Agricultural Science (Hanson, A.A., 2000) is the used reference for crop coefficients. Maximum and minimum crop coefficients based upon working knowledge of growth and reference to irrigation method. Reference for growing season is a determination based upon agronomic evaluation of Marc Arnusch. u All precipitation, including that supplied by average climatic conditions modified from existing Denver weather data and projected weather models, has been modified for the Keenesburg area and is used to supply the leaching fraction required to maintain salt balance in soil zones. D Water holding and delivery systems are underground, closed pipelines and not that of open ditch, lagoon, reservoir, pond or other. Water loss using such practices will need to be accounted for in addition to water demand needs calculated below. ❑ Top end yields are used to accurately determine potential dry matter mass. Yield establishment is based upon top end yields using current hybrids, varieties, cultivars and cultural practices. ❑ Single season planting, not temporal planting, is used for crop water determination. o No irrigated lands are fallowed in these examples. Listed below are three probable cropping scenarios that influence total water demand. The highest water demanding arrangement is listed first followed by an average water demand scenario followed by the least water-required rotation.

Small reductions in water use may be realized through further adoption of new advancements in technology, management techniques and crop selections, however given the current production environment these calculations are accurate to date. Fallowed acres are not factored into any of the above listed scenarios, however, fallowed acres may need to be considered if water demands are too great or additional water is needed for another enterprise. It is also agronomically viable to fallow acres due to production risks, disease management or soil loading purposes. Scenario #1 is the most likely choice amongst the three outlined options. This selection provides the most flexibility to make sound business decisions based upon market opportunities and allows for the goals to be achieved of this farming entity, especially given the objective which is to mesh with the evolving community while maintaining overall appearance and economic viability. The second scenario accomplishes many of the same objectives as the previous option; however, it limits the crop rotation flexibility and reduces the opportunity to capture closed market systems such as the turf grass market. Reduction of water demand is accomplished but at the cost of lost market potential. The last scenario is an attempt to cut water consumption even further. Value-added crops are still part of the operation; on the other hand larger amounts of resources are devoted to more "bulk" agricultural commodities such as wheat and silage corn. These crops typically do not provide acceptable return on investment, especially given the type of irrigation systems identified as a need in this operation. The same objectives of rural preservation are accomplished as the first two scenarios and should be less capital intensive to achieve. This business model is still functional at a lesser degree. Appendix F -2 NORTH FRONT RANGE WATER QUALITY PLANNING ASSOCIATION Civic Center, 500 E. 3'd Street, Loveland, CO 80537 970.962.2785—970.962.2913 fax nfrwcipa@frii.com—www.nfrwgpa.orq September 30, 2005 OCT 0 3 2005 Brad Simons Gateway American Resources 9145 E. Kenyon Avenue, Suite 200 Denver, Colorado 80237 Dear Mr. Simons: As you know, the North Front Range Water Quality Planning Association held a public hearing on September 22, 2005, to consider a plan amendment that would designate Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation District as a Management/Operating Agency and designate a service area for the District. That plan amendment request was approved by the Association with the following conditions: • The District must submit a Utility Plan for review to the Association prior to the consideration of any site applications. This plan should include such information as the District's financing ability, densities, loading projections, and ability to serve the area. • The approval is contingent on the approval of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan amendment. • Should Weld County choose not to approve a Comprehensive Plan amendment, the Association will have the ability to reconsider this approval. I have enclosed a draft copy of the minutes from the September meeting for you records. This amendment will be incorporated into the 2005 Update to the Management Plan. Please contact me at (970) 962-2785 if you have any questions. Sincerely, Connie O'Neill Manager Enclosures: (1) Attachment No. 2 DRAFT MINUTES NFRWQPA September 22, 2005 1. Roll Call The meeting was called to order at 3:15 pm by Chair Gale McGaha Miller at the offices of the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. Roll was called and the following members were in attendance: Tony Huerta—Berthoud Larry Ketcham—Milliken Gale McGaha Miller—Ft. Collins Nicole Seltzer—NC WCD Tracy Kittell —Greeley Bob Alberts—Pierce Jim Landeck—Hudson Tim Gaines—Timnath Ed Schemm—Larimer County Mike Geile—Weld County Cindy Titus—Lochbuie Lee Morrison—Weld County Larry Wyeno—Longmont Also present were Connie O'Neill, Brad Simons, Chris Paulson, Tom Bishop, Darlene Sisneros, and Harvey Deutsch. 2. Minutes Minutes of the August 25, 2005 meeting were considered. Mr. Schemm made a motion to approve the minutes, Mr. Kittell seconded the motion and it passed. 3. Financial Reports The financial reports for August were considered. Because several members did not have copies of the August reports, Ms. McGaha Miller suggested coming back to this agenda item later in the meeting. Copies of the financial reports were made and distributed. 4. Resource Colorado Water and Sanitation District—Plan Amendment Ms. O'Neill presented a summary of the discussion of this item from the August meeting. She also presented a summary of the attachments that were sent along with the agenda packet and pointed out a correction to the map on section 14. She then reviewed the public meeting process for this agenda item. Mr. Simons then gave a summary of the plan amendment request and the comments received. He reviewed the property to be included in the service area and presented a map delineating the area. Mr. Deutsch gave an overview of the water project for Resource Colorado. They have obtained the rights to export water from an area near Prospect Valley for municipal purposes. This is the location of the initial District boundary. As part of the District's approval with Weld County, they committed to use part of the water in Weld County. As a result of this commitment, they began to look for a place to use this water. They are now in the process of requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment with Weld County for the area they would like to develop. This is the area that they are requesting a plan amendment for. As a part of the development plan, a portion of the water from the municipal discharge will go back into agricultural use. The approval of the plan amendment would allow them to move forward in the public hearing process of the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Minutes, September 22, 2005 / Page 2 of 3 DRAFT Ms. Sisneros explained the function and abilities of the District as outlined by the Service Plan. Mr. Bishop then explained the cost estimates and bonding for the District. Ms. McGaha Miller then asked for any questions from the general public. Hearing none, Ms. McGaha Miller opened up the discussion to questions and comments for the Board. Mr. Landeck questioned the location of the initial service area and the language in the Service Plan that would allow for services to be provided in a different location. Ms. McGaha Miller reviewed the conditions that were discussed in the August meeting. Mr. Morrison explained that further action will be required by Weld County to either approve a retail district in the area or amend the existing Service Plan to allow for that. He stated that it was not the intent of Weld County to limit the service to the initial District boundaries. Ms. O'Neill suggested that the inclusion of a condition that would require a Utility Plan may help to address some of the issues in the future. Ms. McGaha Miller then summarized the two conditions that had been suggested. Mr. Simons stated that Resource Colorado would not be opposed to those conditions. Mr. Schemm stated that we may want to include the condition that if Weld County does not approve the Comp. Plan that we reconsider this amendment. Mr. Landeck questioned whether zoning density changes may also require a reconsideration of the amendment. Ms. McGaha Miller stated that all we are considering approving at this time is the service area. Mr. Paulson stated that they have got to be able to show that they can provide urban services before the County will consider the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Mr. Simons also added that the densities included in the NFRWQPA request are the same as the densities included in the Comprehensive Plan amendment request. Mr. Wyeno requested clarification on the public notification / hearing process. Mr. Morrison indicated that the applicants will include a broader notification than just the land area included in the amendment request. Mr. Wyeno then questioned how this amendment may affect the land use in the surrounding area. Mr. Morrison indicated that the effect on the use of the surrounding areas would be a consideration. Mr. Wyeno then questions the necessity for a decision of this Board at this time. Mr. Morrison explained that without the NFRWQPA approval in order to demonstrate the availability of services, the Comprehensive Plan amendment request may never get past the Planning Department. Mr. Paulson indicated that the Planning Department has indicated that the NFRWQPA approval is necessary in order to move forward. Ms. McGaha Miller then referred to the minutes of the August meeting and indicated what conditions of approval would be necessary including defining the area limited to properties that the applicant owned, on a Comprehensive Plan amendment, and on the ability to provide service with greater practicality than another provider. Also that the Association would want to reserve the right to choose a better alternative in the future if that becomes a possibility and that the district is defined as a wholesale district. Mr. Landeck then asked if a resolution could be passed in place of a plan amendment approval. Ms. O'Neill stated that a resolution may imply more approval by the Association than what the amendment is considering. Mr. Schemm stated that this is the first time the Association has been asked to make a service area designation prior to densities be determined. He then made a motion to approve the service area and Management / Operating Agency designation subject to Weld County's approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and a Utility Plan, that delineates the densities, loading, financing, and ability to serve, be submitted prior to the consideration of a site application. Mr. Kittell seconded the motion. Mr. Schemm then requested a friendly amendment to his motion to include the condition that if Weld County does not approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, the NFRWQPA would reconsider its approval. Mr. Kittell agreed with the addition to the motion. Minutes, September 22, 2005 / Page 3 of 3 DRAFT Ms. McGaha Miller clarified that the service area will include lands owned by Pioneer Communities and Resource Colorado as described in the map presented by the applicants. Ms. McGaha Miller then asked for a show of hands for those in favor of the motion. The motion passed by a vote of eight to two. There was then discussion about whether there were sufficient members present to represent a quorum. Ms. O'Neill was instructed to follow up and determine whether the vote would stand or whether the item would need to be reconsidered at the next meeting. (Note: Following the meeting it was determined that there was a quorum present. However, two of the votes cast were invalid because they represented non-voting members. The decision will stand by a vote of seven to one.) 5. Financial Report Ms. McGaha Miller then asked the members to return to the financial reports for August. Copies of the report were handed out to the members present. Mr. Geile made a motion to approve the financial reports. Mr. Schemm seconded the motion and it passed. Ms. McGaha Miller then asked that the minutes reflect that side conversions will not be tolerated by this organization. 6. Town of Lochbuie—Site Application Ms. O'Neill summarized the site application submitted by the Town to increase the existing plant from 1.0 mgd to 2.0 mgd. The NFRWQPA had originally considered the phased Lochbuie facility in May of 2001. Mr. Schemm stated that this facility had be previously considered by the Board and made a motion to approve the application. Mr. Geile seconded the motion. Mr. Landeck asked what the capacity of the existing plant was. Ms. Titus indicated that the existing plant has a 1.0 mgd capacity. Ms. McGaha Miller then called for a vote and the application was approved unanimously. 7. Other Business A. Ms. O'Neill indicated that there as not a Water Quality Control Commission report this month as the Commission held their annual retreat in September. B. Ms. O'Neill reported that the 303(d) "For Sure" list from the state was included with the agenda packet. She indicated that there were several segments in Larimer and Weld County on the list and that the final report should be available on the state's web site in October. There was then some discussion about the cause of the impairments. C. Ms. O'Neill presented some options for the Association's meeting dates in October, November, and December. It was decided that the October meeting date will be changed due to the South Platte Forum and will be held on November 3, meeting location to be announce. There will not be an additional meeting in November and the December meeting will be held on the 15`h at the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District Office. 8. Adjournment There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 4:40 p.m. WEBB PR Weld County Community Assessment Agency: Weld County Sheriffs office Year established: 1861 —first sheriff- county used to be part of Logan County. Square miles covered: 3,998 Area population: 209,909 / 52,775 of them in unincorporated areas. Twenty-two municipalities have their own services, but we still deal with those residents when they travel through on the roadways. Annual budget: $15.8 million after revenue Is there an LEA — if yes, what is the mill levy rate? What area does the LEA cover? One LEA in the county. Beebe Draw, subdivision east of LaSalle. Long time coming, though, but until recently, the rate of growth has been slow. Call volume: In 2004- 41,247 calls for service /6,836 of those were crime reports (defined as involving an actual criminal case). Number of patrol deputies by shift: One officer per beat per shift, working 10-hour shifts. Work four or five days, with fifth day being a training day once a month. How many cover each KB & Hudson? The towns are covered by an area known as Beat Three. Beat Three has two traffic officers, two investigators, one community resource person, nine street patrol officers total. When asked if this was enough for the area currently, she replied, "60-70% of the time. I always say, "You don't build a church for Xmas Eve services." She said it does get hard to cover when something big happens, or calls come in from opposite directions. Day, afternoon, overnight? Day: Four beat officers from morning until 5pm. Afternoon: Four more officers from 4pm—2am (one hour overlap with day shift). Overnight: Four more from 10pm until after sunrise (4 hour overlap with afternoon shift). The time period from 10pm until 2am is the heaviest call times. There are eight officers on duty during that time. During the day shift, traffic and community resource officers are also on duty.

The second most common is assault, mostly domestic violence. Had four homicides this year, all have been solved. Only one of those was a stranger homicide, the victim didn't have any connection to the killer. Rest were drug-related/gangs. The counties are now able to track people, so their record is easily accessible if they commit a crime in another county. Has your department received Homeland Security grants for communications or other types of equipment: (If YES, amount and date) In 2004, the county received $90,000 from the federal gov't earmarked for homeland security. Margie mentioned that Governor Owens doesn't allow the information about how the money was spent to be released to the public, even in general terms. Upsets her. Clint Goldstein is the NE Homeland Security Coordinator, (w) 970.854.3983/ (m) 970.380.8808 Unique features in the county (major highway, industries): Two interstates: 25 & 76 Two highways: 85 & 34 Kodak, Owens Illinois bottling facility near Windsor, oil, gas & ag interests. Is growth occurring in SE Weld County area? Where? The first thing Margie said when we began discussing this assessment was, "We've known that it is just a matter of time that growth will happen out here." She has noticed it in the Tri-town area around Mead. She also mentioned Severence. ^ Does your department have a long-range strategic plan? How will growth impact demands on your department? They definitely think about growth and its implications. The jail will be adding on a new pod in the next two years to alleviate the already cramped conditions. She said by the time its built, though, it won't be enough space. About 130 inmates are being housed right now in other facilities because of overcrowding. We have inmates in the booking area, in the gymnasium, etc. The county spends about $1 million per year in outside housing, not to mention the overtime we have to pay to house people in other areas of the jail. We have asked for 20 more employees because it takes one year to train and get someone ready to work in the facility. And that's if no one quits. Any other unique features about the territory your department serves? She talked a lot about the transportation of inmates. Because they cover so much ground, they are constantly moving inmates around for various court appearances. Even the county courthouse is a few miles away. The county only has two transportation people, and that is not enough. No one thinks about the actual driving time, the time it takes to wait for the inmate, and to drive them back. It can sometimes take one person an entire shift to transport one inmate, but we try our best to do multiple drop-offs along the route. Budgets are being trimmed, as there are everywhere. Only so much $$ generated by the area's revenue. Salaries use up 85-90% of our budget.

Yes, primarily in Lochbuie Can you estimate growth in the next 10 years? No Does your district have a long-range strategic plan? Yes, developed by consultant Kevin Kline, calls for new downtown Hudson station and new equipment, paid daytime staff, paid chief in next 10 years. Asked voters for increase in mill levy in 2004 to 9.9 mills, issue failed by 20 votes. Do you foresee adding paid personnel for firefighting and EMS coverage? Yes, when funding becomes available. Stretched for daytime coverage now. Are consolidations and/or mergers possible with any surrounding districts? If so, which districts? No, heated political issue "We've about had chairs thrown in a meeting with Brighton over this and Lochbuie." Board does meet regularly with Hudson and Lochbuie councils (Lochbuie 6/29) Are there "no man's land"territories outside your District which you cover? Northeast corner of district between Kersey, NW corner between Ft. Lupton and Platteville, some areas along 49 and 22. Not too many left. Additional: Radio systems converts to 800 mhz in August, huge improvement. Ambulance coverage is slim, nearest Weld County ambulance is in Ft. Lupton, 9 miles away, 10 minute response time. Platte Valley stages ambulance in Lochbuie. Relationships with BNSF "Difficult," HFPD bills the railroad for fires on the right-of-way, but BNSF got angry and pulled land from District.

Parties to Participant Agreement include developers (each, a "Participant"), the applicable School District (the "District") and the Foundation. 3. Governed by 5-member board, initially composed of 2 representatives from Pioneer Communities, the only Participant, 2 members of the Board of Education (the"Board") of the District and I representative from Weld County. B. PURPOSES 1. Advisory body to Board; 2. Collects and disburses capital facility fee (the"Fee"); 3. Sets amount of Fee based on formula(the"Shortfall Formula") that determines the funding shortfall for capital construction costs during the "gap period". The "gap period" is defined as the amount of time which elapses before the assessed value of all property within the District reaches a level that will allow the bonding capacity of the District to meet the capital facility needs of the District. 4. Disburse proceeds of Fee to Board upon application by Board for release of funds. Foundation does not substitute its judgment for that of the Board. Board is permitted to apply proceeds of Fee in accordance with the terms of the Participant Agreement in the best interests of the District; 5. Upon receipt of Fee, issue letter to Participant, indicating compliance with Participant Agreement. Participant presents letter to public body having authority to approve project proposed by Participant. C. THE FEE 1. Set by Shortfall Formula described above; 2. May be increased as follows: i. Every 2 years based on the cumulative increase in the Engineering Record Index; and/or ii. If employ Shortfall Formula and the result increases the gap in the shortfall between the District's bonding capacity and its capital construction requirements. 3. The Fee is due and payable by the Participant not later than 30 days after issuance of a building permit; 4. The Fee may not be increased if the District fails to obtain authorization to issue a bond the first time the District is legally permitted to do so (the District is required to seek authorization for a bond issue to fund capital facility construction within 2 years after the date upon which a determination is made that student capacity demand during such 2 year period is projected to be 90% of existing facility capacity); 5. The proceeds of the Fee are to be used to construct, acquire or expand school facilities, including elementary, middle and high schools. The proceeds cannot be used for land acquisition, for school administration or for construction of transportation facilities. 6. The proceeds of the Fee are to be applied within the geographic area of the project proposed by Participant. The geographic area is defined by the legal description of the property that comprises the project proposed by Participant. D. PROCESS I. District applies to Foundation for disbursement of proceeds of Fee. In application, District presents information to Foundation setting forth proposed use of proceeds and demonstrates to Foundation how use complies with terms of Participant Agreement. 2. Foundation reviews application for compliance with terms of Participant Agreement. Foundation does not evaluate merits of proposed use. 3. Foundation is prohibited from spending proceeds of Fee directly without consent of Board. E. TERMINATION I. Participant may terminate its Participant Agreement every 2 years after signing the document upon 90 days' prior written notice. The Foundation is permitted to retain all of the Fees paid by the Participant at that time. The Participant is required to continue to pay all applicable Fees for projects approved during the time Participant was a party to its Participant Agreement. 2. District may terminate its Participant Agreement every 2 years after signing the document upon 90 days' prior written notice. If the District terminates its Participant Agreement, all Fees will be disbursed to the Participants who then are parties to the Participant Agreement on a last in, first out basis; 3. The Foundation and the District may terminate the Participant Agreement upon 60 days' prior written notice. If the Foundation and the District terminate the Participant Agreement, all Fees will be disbursed to the Participants who then are parties to the Participant Agreement on a last in, first out basis. 4. Whether or not any party to the Participant Agreement terminates the document, the Participant Agreement terminates 7 years from the date of its initial signing. Agricultural Land Use Analysis Prepared for: Pioneer Communities Inc. 9145 E Kenyon Ave Suite 200 Denver, CO 80237 Prepared by: Marc Arnusch, CCA Prospect Valley, CO Copyright©2005 by Marc Amusch Objectives The objective of this agricultural land use analysis is to accurately delineate the most important farmland, identify means by which to conserve and reduce agricultural water applications, develop viable value- added agricultural practices and transition plans, and create a working environment where urban and rural interest coexist to the mutual benefit at the community and county level. The examined site location is the lands contained within the property recently purchased by Pioneer Communities LLC, formerly known as the Harkis property. Urban Growth Affects on Agricultural Lands In the United States today, there is more agricultural land in production than is required to meet market demands for food and fiber domestically. Export of these products typically reduces the surplus produced annually, however, as population continues to grow in the U.S. and abroad there will be a greater need to secure and protect the remaining finite amount of good agricultural land. Non-farm development and soil erosion are the two largest contributors to agricultural land loss. Urban area development, even in the absence of population growth, tends to consume agricultural land through scattered expansion. Generally, the physical characteristics of prime agricultural land are also quite suitable for building. In Colorado, these same prime lands often include a source of water or location that is ideal for such building. The American Planning Association stated, "About one half of the nation's food supply comes from metro and metro-adjacent counties. These same counties are where most of the projected continual population growth will occur." With 60 million acres of prime agricultural land located within these areas of growth, it is increasingly important for agriculture and urban interests to find new ways to adapt and evolve around one another for future viability of each. The following farm analysis will provide solutions and business development concepts for sustaining agriculture's viable existence within a high growth, urban area. 2 Prime Agricultural Land Determination Upon examination of the Pioneer Communities LLC holdings, located northeast of Hudson, a portion of the land is clearly categorized as prime or important farmland. The criteria used for this determination was a calculation of soil type, soil texture, potentials for soil erosion, water availability, salinity, soil pH, topography, past production history and possible adaptations to other alternative agricultural practices. All land tracts within this holding have been listed below in levels of classification in terms of their agricultural productivity.

This land also includes suitable water and irrigation methods that allow for timely water delivery and application. Soil types are conducive to various row crops and forage production without need for expensive soil amendments. All property listed as highly productive in this examination is quite sandy in nature with small gravel aggregates mixed within the top layer of the soil profile. This type of soil is typically found within floodplain areas in northeastern Colorado. The zoning for this area should remain agricultural. ** Marginally productive land describes the property that is adequate for agricultural production. Generally this land is limited in deliverable water or is of a composition that may hinder some agricultural practices. Gravel aggregates and very sandy soil combined with rolling topography make these locations more difficult to adapt certain crops to. Regardless of these challenges, the marginal nature does not preclude it from being classified as land of agricultural importance. Changes to water delivery systems are feasible and land-leveling procedures may be required to elevate these areas from a marginal to highly productive classification. Zoning for this area should remain agriculture. *** Poor production land depicts a classification as it relates to agricultural use. These lands are susceptible to erosion without adequate cover, such as the native prairie grass presently growing. These lands are not suitable for any agricultural purpose other than grazing. Many of the grazed tracts are in the need of manicuring and partial restoration. Sagebrush and other detrimental prairie weeds have taken over portions of the land and will be in the need of reclamation. Changing of the zoning from agricultural would not be detrimental to the local farming economy. 4 Water Usage and Irrigation Method Currently, the irrigation method used on the farm is various overhead sprinkler systems. Center-pivot sprinkler systems are classified according to pressure or nozzle type. High-pressure systems have pressures more than 50 psi at the pivot. These are the least efficient from an energy and water drift perspective. Medium-pressure pivots have 30 to 50 psi at the pivot and are moderately efficient in both water and energy usage. Low- pressure systems are the most efficient. Generally, they require two-thirds less energy to operate and utilize the given water in a much more site- specific manner. Water droplet drift is virtually eliminated with these systems. All center-pivots in operation on this farm are of the low and medium pressure type. These systems seem to be in good operating condition and are operating as designed. Alfalfa is the primary crop currently produced under these pivots today. Consumptive water use of alfalfa is the highest among all crops grown in northeastern Colorado. This is especially the case for this particular operation, given the very sandy and gravel soils that have limited moisture retention properties. The irrigation wells located on this property are required to augment the water they pump. Therefore there is a cost to provide wet water back into the South Platte River basin to replace the water pulled out of the underground aquifer. This is of concern from an economic and cultural practice point of view. The Central Colorado Water Conservancy District assesses the fees associated with providing water to augment these wells. Due to drought, continued demand within the South Platte River basin for water by municipalities, and changes within State law, augmentation water has become expensive and at times scarce. Reliance on such a system does not provide any guarantees for continued operation over the lifetime of the agricultural operation, nor does it allow for future operational changes towards higher value cropping systems that required well-timed water applications. To provide a long-term solution for agriculture viability and stability within this operation, internal augmentation plans need to be developed to provide a dependable and affordable supply of irrigation water. Without a reliable supply, any agricultural cropping system will encounter challenges and limitations. To increase water use efficiencies, implementation of higher efficient irrigation methods, like drip irrigation coupled with different cropping rotations will ease the burden on any augmentation plan. As a part of a self contained augmentation plan, new water brought into the Pioneer Community from the Lost Creek Basin may possibly assist the 5 augmentation requirements of the farm's irrigation wells. Directly as an augmentation source or ultimately as discharged effluent, the addition of this water will keep prime agricultural land in production by extending the existing water resources. Effluent water is rapidly becoming a valuable resource for farm and turf grass managers. It also plays an important role in water conservation and makes good environmental sense. This reused water has a major advantage over many other sources of fresh water in that it is constant, reliable and produced in large volumes. Effluent is often utilized in agriculture through overhead sprinkler systems and is especially adaptable to drip irrigation practices. Most agricultural practices will benefit from not only the additional water resource, but also from the residual nutrients and dissolved minerals commonly found in effluent water. Salinity and heavy metal deposits need to be monitored closely so as not to adversely affect the condition of the affluent applied crops. Special attention to cropping systems and nutrient management help circumvent nitrogen and mineral overloading of the applied soil profiles. The use of recycled water will reduce the need for expensive augmentation water acquisition while supplementing the existing water resources. Irrigation of crops also puts to use what would otherwise be wasted or discarded. Factors for consideration are the presence of pathogens and chemical contaminants as well as salinity and its impact of soil structure. These can all be controlled through treatment and effective farm management practices. Ongoing development in this area will improve and increase the amount of recycled water available for irrigation. Drip Irrigation Applications Dependant upon the system design, soil types and cropping practices, drip irrigation dramatically reduces the water requirements for production. As compared to flood irrigation, drip irrigation required 65 percent less water. When comparing this same irrigation practice to sprinkler applications, water use is generally 30 percent less. Reduced herbicide and insecticide usage and fertilizer applications are other benefits associated with this high-tech method of watering cropland. Water availability and water quality issues have become predominant public environmental concerns during the past decade. Drip irrigation helps ease those concerns. 6 Drip irrigation systems are separated into two categories; surface and subsurface. Each system is similar in its approach and cost, however their application is what sets each apart. Surface Drip Surface drip lines are low-pressure lines, which lie on top of the soil's surface. Generally less expensive than buried drip tape, surface drip lines are very commonplace in orchards, vineyards, tree farms, bedding plant nurseries and commercial citrus farms. Simple in design, surface lines perforated with emitters "drip" needed water, nutrients, pesticides and sometimes herbicides in small doses at the base of the growing crop. These lines are laid early in the spring and recovered before harsh fall and winter weather months to avoid damage due to the elements. Advantages to surface drip are their reduced cost versus buried drip line counterparts, ease of use, troubleshooting and accessibility. Some of the disadvantages associated with surface drip lines are their limited applications, potential damage due to rodents and tillage operations, loss of water to evaporation or runoff due to surface saturation. Incidents of high weed pressure germinated by excess water are also common. Surface drip irrigation is primarily restricted to tree cropping and vineyards. Very limited, if any, commercial produce production can utilize surface lines due to foliage overgrowth and difficulty recovering lines before harvest. The cost of installing surface drip irrigation ranges from $300 to $1,100 an acre. Subsurface Drip Subsurface drip lines are also low-pressure, low volume irrigation systems that use buried drip tubes embedded in the soil from 6 to 24 inches deep. These buried lines direct water and nutrients directly at the root mass development of growing plants. By burying these lines, yields are dramatically improved due to fewer incidences of weed and disease pressures commonly found with overhead or flood irrigation methods while eliminating water runoff. The application of water is highly uniform and efficient and reduces the effects of surface infiltration and saturated conditions brought on by other common methods of irrigation. A subsurface drip system is flexible and can provide frequent light irrigations. This is especially suitable for arid, hot and windy areas such as the property owned by Pioneer Communities LLC. Like surface drip tape, subsurface drip also can fall victim to damage by rodents and tillage operations. It is also difficult to identify clogged areas within the system. Close monitoring of the system is a must. 7 Buried drip tape is suitable for almost all crops. It is used widely for high- value fruit and vegetable crops, turf and landscapes. Strawberries, potatoes, cantaloupes, onions, melons, and other vegetables have shown dramatic yield and quality improvements when irrigated from drip systems. Rots, molds and blemishes are nearly eliminated. Other crops commonly grown under drip irrigation include, alfalfa, corn, lettuce, spinach, pumpkins, small grains, various peppers and gourds. Installation costs for subsurface irrigation systems range from $400 to $1,600 per acre. Normally, only high value, high return crops can justify the installation of these type of systems. When considering drip irrigation, it is wise to have value-added crops within the rotation. Value Added Agriculture Value added agriculture is best defined as a process of increasing the economic value and consumer appeal of an agricultural product. It is a specialty production and marketing strategy that requires a better understanding of rapidly changing food industry, consumer preferences, business development and networking. Value added agriculture is also heavily discussed and often misidentified. In the corridor of urban growth where other traditional agriculture dwindles away, value-added agriculture tends to thrive and grow. Taking a different shape from previous crops, cultural practices and production systems, allows producers to add additional revenue and sustainable profits. Success within the value-added segment requires producing a high quality product or service, diversifying to reduce risk and identifying a growing market for a particular product or consumable that is demand driven. The property under examination contains many attributes that lend itself well for this type of production system. Potential Agricultural Uses The potential agricultural uses for the property under examination are many. Based upon the rich soil, water availability, topography, location to local urban markets, this farm is suited well for transition from traditional agricultural production into a mix of several value-added market sectors. The growing front range, along with the proposed development on the remaining lands, brings a demand for high quality produce, landscaping materials (turf grasses, bedding plants and tress), rural knowledge and 8 community feel. Rural recreation activities also play into this mix of somewhat non-traditional agriculture while providing an avenue to deliver an educational experience within this community. Vegetable Production The Colorado Front Range corridor is one of the fastest growing regions in the western United States. When examining the cross-section of the Front Range population, the fastest growing segment is of a young generation with strong individual or family income. Commonly, these individuals have greater amounts of disposable income than their previous generation did; however, they are also quite selective in the purchases they make. Product quality has become more important in the eyes of these consumers than pricing. Growing demand for high quality, readily available food ingredients is at an all time high. Non-traditional grocers like Wal-Mart and Target are fast becoming large players in the food ingredient markets. According to the latest statistics released by National Affiliated Foods, over 35 percent of all vegetable products sold in the United States last year came from sources other than traditional grocery outlet stores. Wal-Mart, Target and Wholesome Food Distributors require the highest level of quality among all retail produce purchasers. Much of the produce available in these stores is grown within this region. Affordable pricing combined with quality has established these retail giants as a real force in the vegetable industry. Recent market indicators suggest a slow but growing migration away from traditional grocers towards one of direct producer to consumer sales, such as Farmer's Markets and U-Pick-It farms. Movement towards these start- up markets can be directly linked to quality and consumer satisfaction with the "home grown" concept. Vegetable growers in Colorado harvested 8.45 million cwt (hundred weight) of produce in 2004 with a market value of over $99.6 million. Dry onions continue to lead the vegetable production in this state. Over 50 percent of the total vegetable crop value came from the production of dry onions. Carrots, followed by sweet corn, cabbage, lettuce, cantaloupe and spinach round out the top seven revenue generating produce crops in Colorado. Considering demand for high quality vegetables, relative proximity to areas of growth and market access, soil composition and the need for value-added agriculture in the area, vegetable production is quite practical in this setting. Located just a few miles north of Interstate 76 and on easy access to Highway 85, transportation of the finished commodity to the numerous produce market destinations is easily achievable. 9 By and large, soil types and topography are well within those required to produce high quality vegetables. Water availability and capital requirements to install state-of-the-art irrigation technology are limiting factors to full vegetable production on a portion of the land, although the current system of irrigation is appropriate for this type of production. Diversified vegetable crops accomplish the desire of the developer to maintain large continuous blocks of open space while preserving viable agriculture. Dependant upon market conditions, contracting opportunities, agronomic considerations and management personnel, viable cropping systems to be considered for this farm include; onions, spinach, lettuce, pumpkins, cucumbers, sweet corn, various peppers, squash, melons and cabbage. Land that does not conform to these cropping practices can still produce more traditional value added crops such as confectionary sunflowers, sugar beets, hard white wheat, and malting barley. Other considerations for this land use include the production of turf grass, ornamental and landscaping trees, shrubbery, and greenhouses. Turf Grass Production The proposed development of the surrounding areas into a mixed-use community provides strong market potential for turf grass production. Yards, parks, pedestrian walkways and sport complexes will ultimately be required to have grassed areas. It could be required of these developed areas to utilize specially adapted varieties of grasses that utilize water more efficiently to conserve the overall water supply dedicated to these communities. Home Owners Associations (HOA) within the local population could mandate the purchase of grass from this local operation to maintain compliance with these regulations while providing an affordable supply of turf. Transportation costs would be greatly reduced by having this production within the local area. Long-term sustainability, once the local market has reached a level of saturation, is achieved by supplying the surrounding area as it begins to experience eventual growth. The towns of Keenesburg, Hudson and Fort Lupton are easily serviced from this location. Probable development of these areas further builds market opportunities. Other positive attributes to turf grass production is the low impact on surrounding communities, attractive eye appeal, and utilization of existing irrigation infrastructure. Water consumption, capital requirements and qualified personnel are limiting factors for initial start-up. 10 Tree Production Similar to that of turf grass, demand for trees is met by the developing communities surrounding the farm ground. As houses, businesses, parks and schools are built; trees will be necessary to accentuate the look and feel of the landscape. Tree production is also a good use of the less fertile and suitable soil for row-crop production and conforms well to drip irrigation practices. Establishment of trees for relocation to urban locations is a time sensitive endeavor. Often, seedling trees require 5 to 7 years of active growth before they reach a stage for transplanting. Aggressive pruning and manicuring of the leaf areas and limb development can speed up this process. Water requirements and infrastructure costs are considerably less than that of commercial crop production, while still highly feasible and sustainable. Christmas tree demand has grown steadily since their commercial introduction in 1850. Until recently, most Christmas trees came from the forest or from private woodlands. Last year over one million acres were planted into Christmas trees. Thirty-four to thirty-six million Christmas trees are harvested annually, with ninety five percent shipped or sold directly from Christmas tree farms. Selling directly to the consumer has become a major market for many farms, by offering the opportunity for the consumer to select and cut-down their own tree while still growing on the farm. Adaptation of Christmas trees to this location would be cost effective and profitable if marketed correctly. The ability for the general public to participate in the harvesting of their tree also provides an excellent chance for community involvement. Christmas trees farms are visually appealing once established and can be utilized as natural borders for segregation between urban developments and active agriculture. Greenhouses An integral part of a successful vegetable operation relies upon starting early season transplants indoors. Commercial crops such as onions, cabbage, and peppers depend heavily on starting plants inside greenhouses. This head start enables growers to transplant plants into the freshly thawed fields for early crop establishment. Acclimating young sprouts, into what is otherwise a harsher climate, also enhances vegetable crop production at elevation. The justification for greenhouses for vegetable production alone is not feasible until large-scale operations demand year round production. Given the location, potential for increased population growth and demand for 11 bedding and home floriculture, greenhouse establishment services several demanding market segments. Analysts have predicted that Colorado is in a good position to realize sustained growth in the floriculture industry for years to come. On the demand side, Colorado is experiencing rapid growth along the Front Range and across the state, which places it among the fastest growing in the western U.S. With over 314 days of eight hours or more of continuous light, Colorado is considered a favorable growing environment. Access to labor and favorable labor costs work into the profitability of such an enterprise. The widespread use of annuals and herbaceous perennials in homes, municipal and commercial landscapes is creating new markets, as is the increase in cut flower sales. Interior landscaping is becoming more commonplace in larger cities where developers wish to simulate the outdoor surroundings indoors where people work, shop and dine. Competition by Latin American and European countries continues to weigh on the floral market, which makes the ability to start field crop transplants important. Water quality and spatial placement are important considerations along with capitalization requirements. Ag University A proposed "Ag University" site has been identified as a research and information dissemination location. This unique opportunity can greatly enhance the productivity of this farming operation as well as those located in the surrounding areas. Marc Johnson, Dean of Agriculture at Colorado State University, has been contacted about pursuing development of such a location within the holdings of Pioneer Communities LLC. He is currently seeking input from professors and administrators to the possibility of co-developing a location in southern Weld County. The concept of establishing a working research farm is not a new one to Colorado State University. CSU has numerous research locations dotted throughout the State to study local cropping techniques, enhancement of cultural practices, irrigation advancements, herbicide and insecticide treatments and development of new crop alternatives. Experimentation with irrigation systems, hybrid development, and development of best management practices are often showcased at these facilities. As the adoption of new agricultural technology becomes more rapid, locations such as these will become more important for producers to interact with. These locations also provide a campus type atmosphere to relay important information to area producers, technical advisors and interested consumers. 12 Much the same can be accomplished with this location. This site would be more unique than others within the CSU system due to its more urban nature. Open tours of the production practices utilized in producing the locally grown food crops at this setting, or throughout the actively producing ground, provide an excellent opportunity to inform and educate interested community members to the importance of sustainable agriculture. The Colorado Corn Growers Association recently conducted a study concerning consumer attitudes towards biotechnology and the foods individuals consume. They concluded that as level of consumer awareness and education grew, so did the acceptance of such a technology. A similar correlation is drawn when comparing consumer's attitudes towards agriculture. The more consumers understand about food production and food safety, the more likely they will become to embrace farming practices within their community. Livestock demonstrations, home and garden seminars and landscape management classes are some of the other educational outreach opportunities possible with such a location. Farmer's Market As a means to further the connectivity between urban and rural coexistence, a widely popular way is through establishment of a Farmer's Market. Creating a storefront, preferably within the commercial areas of the Pioneer Community where area residents would have the opportunity to purchase the products grown locally, accomplishes the goal of embracing and celebrating the rural character desired by the developer. People living nearby can witness the crop's transformation from the seedlings to eventual harvest with the ability to purchase this bounty within their hometown, fresh from the fields. Each changing season would provide a change in food ingredients offered. As winter approaches, floral plants and poinsettias from the green houses would replace the produce. Locally produced meats, ornamental supplies and landscaping materials enhance the offerings within a "General Store" atmosphere. Prairie Grassland Restoration In various locations throughout the premises, the non-irrigated pasture grass and native prairie lands are in need of restoration and manicuring. In its current state, the lands are functional for a limited grazing operation, 13 however the animal concentration unit should not exceed two animals per forty-five acres. To reduce the potential for erosion, excessive fire damage and to restore these lands back to a productive state, targeted areas should be aggressively mowed, treated with spot applied herbicide to remove sagebrush and lightly tilled in site-specific areas to provide new seedbeds for native grass establishment. Species of grass to be sown should be similar in nature to those currently present; however, special attention should be given to those that possess high drought tolerance, can spread and establish themselves quickly and that provide a suitable and natural environment for grazing. Summary Weld County is under transition. Historically Weld ranks among the highest counties in our Nation for agricultural production, however, this county is now producing a new crop; communities. Individuals and families are settling in Weld County more than ever. They are relocating their homes, businesses and lives here for many of the same reasons the current residents came; small communities, spectacular views, quiet living and rural atmospheres. School sizes are generally small, towns feel like home and these communities are safe. In the wake of this migration lies agriculture. The backbone of the local economy, agriculture has tended to take a back seat to development pressures, water struggles and battles over existence. The challenge lies in providing a conducive environment where agriculture can foster and thrive around the complexity that comes with development. Agriculture needs to evolve along with the surroundings to sustain life. Transformations away from traditional practices are difficult economically and emotionally, however, this revolution provides the blueprint for future generations of agriculture sustainability. Without change agriculture will continue to dwindle in paths of expected growth, without much opportunity for success. The above outlined business analysis provides solutions to many of the challenges this agricultural area will be faced with. The transition away from the current farming practices will require capital, individuals capable of operating the diverse spectrum of agricultural businesses, and the willingness of both urban and rural interest to cooperate. Planning for this coexistence is most important. The areas of greatest agricultural importance have been identified. Pioneer Communities LLC has targeted growth in those areas designated "poor production 14 agriculture". The next most important step is for agriculture to adapt to the market this community brings with it: consumers. Developing production that caters to the local market is vital, but reliance on only the local market will be short sighted. A balance of local and regional markets will provide the most successful approach. Implementation of these business models will require time, technical supervision, strong entrepreneurial vision and large amounts of capital. Once this criterion is met, full agribusiness operation should come within three to five years. Constant evolution of these business practices should be expected. Market demands shift, technologies improve and unexpected circumstance change the variables governing agriculture enterprises. Nevertheless, agriculture in this area is sustainable while enhancing the urban lifestyles of those who make this area their home. 15 l +�n" tfkn3ll4s >arli� g anonboomiin e oun o u New census figures . ` ...u....,.,. �`°��Y .2,,..,„nyi,:,;.,.,:.,(tg,,,...fa.,,eci; show state's growth shifting northward - Ca enti _f -,,H.-":-.. ,..

NEW YORK (CNN/ Money) - Greeley, Colorado was the fastest-growing metro area in the United States from April 1, 2000 through July 31, 2003, according to figures released Thursday by the Census Bureau. The city north of Denver -tPany, increased its population by 16.8 percent. REitgivsi - 1W Trailing slightly behind Greeley among the mushrooming metropolises were St. iv r.

The New York metro area continued its long reign as the most populous in America. In 2003, Gotham's population reached 18.6 million people. Los Angeles was second at 12.8 million, followed by Chicago with 9.3 million.

"I guess the secret's out." local chamber of commerce. •I guess the secrets out. For Greeley residents and city officials alike, the news is good and bad. MacQuiddy said the residential and commercial growth of Greeley and neighboring towns is good for the local tax base but cautioned that smart planning is needed to maintain the area's "small-town feel." k' -Bone Ranch, a vast housing development in west Greeley where oversized homes and condominiums are still being built, Murray was surprised by the news of her town's growth. "I guess it's good for our equity, but I'm concerned about the increase in traffic," she said. Murray also is worried about another big-city problem that had come to town. "Almost every day, you hear about gangs in the news," said Murray, who moved from Illinois with her husband and three children three years ago. "They're mostly on the opposite end of town, but I still worry about the gang problem becoming a bigger one." The growth also is fueled by the influx of Hispanic residents, who make up 27 percent of Weld County. While some welcome diversity, others said they have seen tensions arise in an area that for years remained largely homogenous. Magda Gabriela Mendoza, who two years ago moved to Greeley from Mexico with her husband, believes the fast-changing demographic makeup of the Greeley area is making the area a more tolerant place. "When I first got here, I used to get stares when I would go into a store and speak Spanish," said Mendoza as she pushed her 1-year-old daughter, Danira, through the Greeley Mall. "Now, there are so many of us, I think people are getting used to us being here. I love it here. I plan to stay." Daniel Romero, a gardener who moved from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to Greeley last spring, said he feels welcome - as long as he stays on his side of town. "I iL. ome to the mall to shop or go to Target or Wal-Mart, but otherwise, I feel this is a segregated city," he said. YUKo Evans, who settled in Greeley 15 years ago after attending the University of Northern Colorado, said she wishes the area were more diverse. "I feel that this is a pretty conservative area, but it's still a nice place to live. There are lots of parks for the children and http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/cda/article_print/0,I983,DRMN 21_4099946 ARTICLE-DE... 10/12/2005 Rocky Mountain News: State Page 2 of 2 plenty of water for the grass," she said. "I just hope this place doesn't become too big." / residents said they were surprised to learn that their city led the nation in growth. "I always thought this was a cow town, even though traffic has gotten terrible," said Kerri Peterson, a homemaker from Severance. Growth in the Greeley area isn't startling to City Manager Ray Otto. "I've been here for six years, and we've gotten about 10,000 new residents in that time," Otto said. Although Greeley is Weld County's largest city, the communities of Evans, Frederick, Dacono and the area from U.S. 85 west to Interstate 25 experienced more growth, he said. Michael Whitley, with Greeley's community development office, said the city's population grew by 10.9 percent between 2000 and 2003. "It's a good clip but not extraordinary," he said. "Greeley is affordable for northern Colorado; it's less expensive than Fort Collins or Loveland." Severance was the fastest-growing community in the county with a 40 percent population jump between April 1, 2000, and July 1, 2003, "but it's got a small population base to begin with, about 1,500 people," Whitley said. He said Windsor, Ault and Eaton also were expanding with subdivisions for people who commute to jobs in Denver and Fort Collins. Cycyright 2005, Rocky Mountain News.

We had 12 property owners on Thursday, 17 on Friday. The briefings began with statements from Chris Paulson and Harvey Deutsch, lasting roughly 20-25 minutes combined. They discussed the location of the property; the rough plans for development and timeline; securing water; plans for schools and other features of the development, along with offering information about past projects Harvey and his team have worked on. The floor was then opened for questions. The first day, October 6h, the following questions were asked and answered: • What type of retail is planned for the development? • How will the water be stored, and will nearby property owners have the option to get water taps from Resource Colorado? • What are the proposed lot sizes for your houses? • What will happen to our property taxes? • What do you think of the proposal to build a highway from Pueblo to Cheyenne? • What are you going to do to ensure the success of the existing towns, Keenesburg and Hudson? Leo Devigil is a nearby property owner and a fire inspector who has worked with Harvey Deutsch's company, Gateway American Properties, on another development. He told the group assembled that Harvey and his staff are professional, ethical and have a great reputation. The questions asked on the second day are as follows: • Do you have plans to purchase more land? • How will people access the homes you're building? • Will your project have an affect on local aquifers? • What is the plan for handling increased traffic on existing roads? • What are you plans for a sewer plant—where and when? • What do business owners in Hudson and Keenesburg know about your plans? • Are you allowing for any industrial zoning on your site? Peter Webb Public Relations,Inc. t:303796 :':>• f:3037%0440 6025 South Quebec Street,Suite 360•Centennial,Colorado 80111 www.pwpr.com • Will the areas you've designated agricultural stay ag? • What is our cutoff for letting you know about whether we want to tap into your water and sewer service? After each meeting, Chris, Harvey and Steven Deutsch answered questions for roughly 30 minutes, staying until every property owner left. They also worked with interested owners to identify their land on an aerial map. I have been in contact with a few of the property owners since the meetings. Some couldn't attend and wanted information, so I answered questions and sent along our informational materials. Others wanted their own copies of our map, which I've emailed and mailed out to those who requested them. FINAL ANALYSIS: My overall feeling from the meetings is that most of the landowners near Pioneers property are interested in what will be developed, and they expressed appreciation that we approached them early in the process so they could have their questions answered. We told everyone to call us with any questions, and we will keep an open dialogue with those interested in being involved. Connie & 22009 Weld Co.
