Attorney,made this a matter of record. Chair Geile advised Timothy Halopoff,applicant,that he has
the option of continuing this matter to a date when the full Board will be present. However, if he

septic systems will be adequate,and she is not requiring primary/secondary septic envelopes. She
stated the site will be serviced by the North Weld County Water District,and the Boxelder Sanitation
District indicated there is no public sewer line within three miles of the site, therefore, it is not
opposed to allowing septic systems until such time as public sewer is available. Responding to
Chair Geile, Ms. Smith stated the site is in the Boxelder 208 Boundary.
Drew Scheltinga,Department of Public Works,stated the development will generate approximately
90 vehicle trips per day,and the internal road will be paved to County standards,with two twelve-foot
lanes and four-foot shoulders. He stated the site will be accessed from Weld County Road 15,and
off-site improvements are not required. He further stated the site drains to the west, there are no
drainage issues, the preliminary Drainage Report is adequate, and the applicant has already
addressed staffs'issues. Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Scheltinga stated the site plan
does indicate elevations. In response to Commissioner Masden,Mr.Scheltinga stated there will be
a bus shelter, mail box,and bus turn around area at the entrance to the site. He further stated the
internal road is approximately 1,300 feet,and rather than paving a secondary emergency access,
the applicant agreed to include fire sprinkler systems in each of the homes. Responding to Chair
Geile, Ms.Lockman stated the Town of Severance had no comment at the Sketch Plan phase,and
previously the Town indicated no conflict with any of the other nine-lot PUD's in this area.
Timothy Halopoff, P.E.,represented the applicant and stated all necessary easements have been
secured, there will be a walking/jogging trail in the open space, and the site will be enhanced with
nice landscaping. Responding to Chair Geile,Mr.Halopoff stated the Covenants are prepared and
ready to submit, they will restrict exterior colors and building materials, the Homeowners'
Association will maintain the open space and fencing, and the road will be maintained by Weld
County. He further stated the ranch-style homes will be a minimum of 2,500 square feet,multi-level
houses will be a minimum of 2,200, and animals will not be allowed. Responding to Chair Geile,
Mr. Halopoff stated he and the applicant have reviewed and concur with the Conditions of Approval,
as proposed and modified.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Commissioner Jerke stated he has no
concern with allowing an Administrative Review, since there is no public concern or opposition
regarding the matter, and the Board concurred.
Commissioner Vaad moved to approve the request of Soaring Skies Ventures,LLC,for Change of
Zone,PZ#1099,from the A(Agricultural)Zone District to the PUD(Planned Unit Development)Zone
District for nine (9)residential lots, based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the
