Dear Commissioners:
The Interim Coordinated Planning Agreement between Weld County, Firestone,
Frederick, and Dacono that was adopted in 1997 has served as an excellent tool for
intergovernmental cooperation and positive growth management for many years.
However, given the development pressures in the region and the County's desire to
continue approving urban style developments in the unincorporated area just outside the
Firestone Urban Growth Boundary, it appears that the existing agreement has become
ineffective. Therefore, a new specific intergovernmental agreement between Weld County
and Firestone might be more appropriate in an effort establish fixed urban growth
boundaries and limit urbanization to within them. In such a new intergovernmental
agreement Firestone would request that the County set a specific urban boundary around
the County's Mixed Use Development Area (MUD). Please consider this letter an
invitation to initiate discussions for the establishment such an intergovernmental
agreement between Weld County and Firestone. Also please consider this letter a formal
notice to terminate our existing Interim Coordinated Planning Agreement and the
associated uniform baseline standards agreement for the reasons noted above.
Thank you for your cooperation in these matters. We look forward to working with you
on a new intergovernmental agreement in the near future. For your reference we are also
contacting Longmont, Mead, Platteville, Fort Lupton, and Frederick to initiate discussions
regarding cooperative urban growth boundaries and hopefully the establishment of
appropriate open space and agricultural community separator areas in unincorporated
Weld County betw 'cipalities.
Sincerely,
Mike Simone
Mayor
