Water Division 1, Water District 4 Dear Ms. Hatch: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 158.17-acre parcel into 131 single-family residential lots, one lot of 23 acres for commercial use, and 30 acres of open space. A Water Supply Information Summary Sheet was included in the referral material, however, no estimates of water requirements were provided. The Little Thompson Water District (District) has been proposed as the source of water and copy of a Main Line Water Extension Agreement signed by both parties was included in the submittal material. While not indicated in the Agreement from the District, based on current records on file in this office, the District will require the developer to purchase and transfer to the District 1.4 shares of Colorado Big Thompson (CBT) water per lot prior to tap activation. Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's office offers the opinion that with the District as the water supplier, the proposed water supply may be provided without causing material injury to existing water rights, and the supply is expected to be adequate. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Megan Sullivan of this office. Sincerely, Dick Wolfe, P.E. Assistant State Engineer cc: Jim Hall, Division Engineer Water Supply Branch Subdivision File DW/MAS/Liberty PUD Weld County Planning Department • SOUTHWEST BUILDING JUN ? 1 2006 Kis MemorancRIMVED TO: Jacqueline Hatch, W.C. Planning DATE: June 15, 2006 C FROM: Pam Smith, W.C. Department of Publio 3 COLORADO Health and Environment CASE NO.: PZ-1103 NAME: Liberty Properties LLC/Ken Williamson The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal for 131 low density residences and a commercial building site (future development)with active and passive recreational uses on 158 acres. There is an existing residence (septic permit SE-0300015) and associated outbuildings on the northwest corner of the property. Page 7 of 17 of the Plat documents (titled Site Plan) indicates that all existing structures will be removed. The existing septic system must be properly abandoned in accordance with Section 30-7-70 as a part of this development. The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water and sewer service. The application states that water will be provided by Little Thompson Water District. A letter of agreement from Little Thompson Water District was included in the application material. The application states that sewer service will be provided by St. Vrain Sanitation District. The site is within the St.Vrain Sanitation District service area. Documentation (recorded with the Clerk and Recorder's office)providing evidence that the property has been included in St.Vrain Sanitation District has been included in the application materials. Active and passive recreational opportunities will include such things as sports fields, a fitness and recreation center, tennis courts, community pool, trails, picnic grounds, bike paths, playgrounds, etc. These varied recreational opportunities must address the sanitation requirements of any area where people work, live, or congregate. The Department is recommending permanent restroom and handwashing facilities be provided in close proximity to those public gathering areas where water and sewer services are available. The swimming pool and other recreation amenities appear to be for the exclusive use of the resident and guest of the development. If this is the case, the pool is considered a private pool (by definition) and not subject to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Swimming Pool and Mineral Baths (Swimming Pool) regulations. However, if the pool is semi-public or public by the definitions in the Swimming Pool regulations, the pool is subject to the construction and operation standards specified in those regulations. The initial impact plan submitted in the application materials appears to address all the environmental impacts of Section 27-6-40. The Department recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Water service shall be obtained from the Little Thompson Water District 2. Sewer service shall be obtained from the St. Vrain Sanitation District. 3. The existing septic system (SE-0300015)must be properly abandoned in accordance with Section 30-7-70 as a part of this development. 1 4. Permanent restroom and handwashing facilities shall be provided within easy access of the public gathering areas. 5. A stormwater discharge permit may be required for a development/redevelopment /construction site where a contiguous or non-contiguous land disturbance is greater than or equal to one acre in area. Contact the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment at www.cdphe.state.co.us/wq/PermitsUnit for more information. 6. During development of the site, all land disturbances shall be conducted so that nuisance conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions, at the request of the Weld County Health Department, a fugitive dust control plan must be submitted. 7. In accordance with the Regulations of the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission any development that disturbs more than 5 acres of land must incorporate all available and practical methods that are technologically feasible and economically reasonable in order to minimize dust emissions. 8. If land development creates more than a 25-acre contiguous disturbance, or exceeds 6 months in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a fugitive dust control plan, submit an air pollution emissions notice, and apply for a permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 9. "Weld County's Right to Farm" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County Code shall be placed on any recorded plat.

The Sheriffs Office requests that builders and developers designate an area by the entrance of the sub-division in which to place a shelter for school children awaiting the school bus. This area should also include a pull off for the school bus which enables it to safely load and unload children out of the roadway. 2. Either mail distribution within the sub-division or a central drop off location within the sub-division should be developed so that residents do not have to cross a county road to obtain their mail. 3. A permanent sign should be placed at the entrance to the subdivision detailing the name of the sub-division,address,and a graphical presentation of the roadways within the subdivision. There should be a plan developed to maintain this sign. 4. If the roadways within this sub-division are not maintained or adopted by the county, individuals purchasing property in this sub-division should be notified that the Sheriffs Office will have limited traffic enforcement powers. 5. A plan should be developed to maintain roadways within the sub-division especially during inclement weather conditions for emergency vehicles. 6. The Sheriff's Office is very supportive of homeowner funded homeowner's associations. These associations provide a contact for the Sheriffs Office and a means of maintaining common areas. 7. If there are oil or gas production facilities within this sub-division,they need to be fenced off in order to mitigate the potential for tampering. These facilities are known to create an attractive nuisance for young people. Tampering not only creates a significant danger to safety but also of environmental damage with extensive mitigation and clean-up costs. 8. The names of all streets within the sub-division should be presented to the Sheriffs Office for approval. This will eliminate duplication of street names within the county. Street names are approved. 9. The Sheriffs Office encourages Law Enforcement Authorities to provide additional funding for law enforcement requirements in the future. 1 The Sheriffs Office lacks the ability to absorb any additional service demand without the resources recommended in the multi-year plan provided to the Weld County Board of County Commissioners or as indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was developed.

The Fire District does not object to the request for Change in Zoning provided the development meets the requirements of the Fire District. All applicable codes as they pertain to water supply, fire hydrant locations, and fire department access must be met. Preliminary fire hydrant locations appear to be satisfactory as shown on the plans. Construction plans for the utilities showing the location of fire hydrants, the size of water mains and available fire flows must be submitted to the Fire District for review and approval prior to beginning construction of the subdivision. The submittal must include a water supply analysis indicating the available fire flow at the most demanding point in the water system. We appreciate being involved in the planning process.

The District has reviewed the development proposal in terms of (1) available school capacity, (2) required land dedications and/or cash-in-lieu fees and (3) transportation/access considerations. After reviewing the above proposal, the School District finds that it cannot support this proposed development at this time. The reasons for this position and other important information are as follows: • The 125% Capacity Benchmark is expected to be exceeded at the elementary school level in this feeder and there is insufficient capacity to support this development. Also, Mead Middle school, at a projected capacity of 113%, is fast approaching the capacity benchmark. No additional elementary or middle school capacity is available for this area from the 2002 School Bond. • Additional capacity is approved under the 2002 bond at the high school level. High School 5's capacity, although not yet constructed, is included in calculations used in this referral. The tentative target opening date for this facility is the Fall of 2009, but until it is constructed, there may be short- term crowding at Skyline High School. • The District requests that a 10-acre dedication for an elementary school site be complete for this site. Should this development be approved, the options for managing the short and long term overcrowding in these schools may include adding modular classrooms and implementing split or staggered schedules as needed. Other options may include, but not be limited to, implementing year-round schools or asking voters to approve new bonds for additional school facilities or a mill levy for additional operating funds. It should be noted that a lack of operating funds may be a factor in delaying construction and occupancy of new school facilities in this area. Detailed information on the specific capacity issues, the land dedication requirements and transportation impacts for this proposal follow in Attachment A. A land dedication is required with this project and there are comments on pedestrian access included in the attachment. The recommendation of the District noted above applies to the attendance boundaries current as of the date of this letter. These attendance boundaries may change in the future as new facilities are constructed and opened. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this referral, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at seqrue qlenstvrain.k12.co.us or at the number below.

PHONE 303-682-7229. FAX 303-682-7344. ATTACHMENT A-Specific Project Analysis PROJECT: Liberty PUD Change of Zone ^ (1) SCHOOL CAPACITY The Board of Education has established a District-wide policy of reviewing new development projects in terms of the impact on existing and approved school facilities within the applicable feeder system. Any residential project within the applicable feeder that causes the 125% school benchmark capacity to be exceeded within 5 years would not be supported. This determination includes both existing facilities and planned facilities from a voter-approved bond. The building capacity, including existing and new facilities, along with the impact of this proposal and all other approved development projects for this feeder is noted in the chart below.

Specific comments concerning this proposal regarding School Capacity are as follows: • Specific Impact - This application will add 131 new single-family dwelling units with a potential impact of 55 additional students in the Mead Elementary, Mead Middle and Skyline High School Feeder. • Benchmark Determination - Of the schools in this feeder, Mead Elementary Schools is projected to exceed 125% of capacity in 5 years with students from this development. The School District is therefore not supporting this application at this time. • Additional Capacity Impacts-An additional high school is available for the Weld County area through the 2002 bond, with a target opening date of Fall 2009. This target opening date will be subject to further review by the Board of Education. The additional facility, High School 5, is included in the calculations in the above chart. • Mitigation Options—Weld County and the developer should also be aware that the School Board has developed a mitigation policy that would assist in providing capacity for the new students in this subdivision. Under the policy, should an applicant wish to begin construction on a residential development prior to the District's ability to provide additional capacity, the applicant may mitigate the development's impact on the feeder by agreeing to a voluntary, per-unit payment. Funds would be used to provide permanent or temporary capacity within the impacted feeder. The Planning Department would be happy to discuss this type of mitigation for the proposal with either the town or developer. (2) LAND DEDICATIONS AND CASH IN-LIEU FEES The implementation of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Concerning Fair Contributions for Public School Sites by Weld County requires that the applicant either dedicate land directly to the School District along with provision of the adjacent infrastructure and/or pay cash-in-lieu (CIL) fees based on the student yield of the development. CIL fees only provide funds for land acquisition, which is only a small component of providing additional school capacity for a feeder. Specific comments regarding land dedications and CIL fees for this referral are as follows: • Dedication and/or Cash-in-lieu Requirements - According to the District's Comprehensive Facility Plan, planned residential developments in this area warrant the need for an additional school site in this area. The School District requests a 10 acre land dedication on this parcel rather than payment of CIL fees. • Number of Units covered by dedication/cash-in-lieu — An elementary site dedication (10 acres) would excuse this development from paying CIL fees for all 131 units. Otherwise, fees would be assessed per the attached chart. • Dedication/Cash-in-lieu Procedures - Cash-in-lieu payments are to be made to the St. Vrain Valley School District Business Office—395 S. Pratt Parkway, Longmont, CO. 3)TRANSPORTATION/ACCESS Transportation considerations for a project deal with bussing and pedestrian access to and from the subdivision. Pedestrian access, in particular, is an important goal of the School District in order to facilitate community connection to schools and to minimize transportation costs. Specific comments for this application are as follows: • Provision of Busing- Busing for this project, under the current boundaries, would most likely be provided. • Pedestrian/Access Issues— This proposal appears to have adequate accommodation for pedestrian access to and from potential future schools in this area.

Comments made during this phase of the subdivision process may not be all-inclusive, as other concerns or issues may arise during the remaining application process. Comments General Comments: ❑ The Liberty PUD Subdivision is planned for up to 131 single-family residential building sites,and a 23.12+acre super block to be developed in the future(not part of this development). ❑ The applicant has submitted a 17 sheet set for review by Public Works. Most of the sheets are used as supporting material to review the change-of-zone proposal. Public Works will only make a cursory review of these supporting sheets at this time. Please identify which sheets are to be recorded and they will be reviewed in detail for the change of zone. ❑ The geotechnical investigation indicated ground water which may cause problems with the placement of basements. Basement restrictions maybe required with final plan submittal. ❑ Parcel B (a 23.12+ acre)which is proposed to be a commercial development does not indicate the potential impacts which pertain to transportation and storm water. Public Works requires drainage patterns and retention requirements be identified for Parcel B. LI School bus pullouts/shelters and postal kiosks have not been addressed in the change-of-zone application materials. The placement of these shelters and pullouts must be shown on the change-of-zone plans as to assess safety and traffic concerns. Final configuration and details of these items shall be determined by the school district and postmaster. External Roadways: ❑ This development will introduce an anticipated 1,254 additional(9.57 x 131) vehicle trips per day to the off-site roadway system based on 131 single-family residential homes. o Various egress routes have been proposed within this development, which will help to distribute the volume introduced throughout the adjacent and vicinity roadway system. ❑ A detailed review of the Traffic Impact Analysis for the Liberty Property will be forthcoming. Public Works has retained a traffic engineering consultant to review the study. ❑ WCR 32, a local gravel roadway with 60-feet of right-of-way, is north of and adjacent to the proposed development under the jurisdiction of Weld County. o Two accesses from WCR 32 are currently being proposed for this subdivision. o The applicant will be required to pave CR 32 from the intersection of CR 5 east to the existing pavement — a distance of approximately' -mile. o The typical cross section for WCR 32 should be coordinated with the Town of Mead standards. The applicant shall provide written documentation showing coordination efforts with the Town of Mead to Public Works prior to the Board of County Commissioners hearing for change of zone. ❑ WCR 5, collector south of WCR 34 and north of SH 66, is west of and adjacent to the proposed development under the jurisdiction of Weld County. o One access from WCR 5 is currently being proposed for this subdivision. o The applicant shall add 4' gravel shoulders to the typical cross section required. ❑ A proposed 1-25 parallel arterial roadway dissects the site, approximately 2,150-feet east of WCR 5. o The proposed I-25 parallel arterial requires 140-feet of right-of-way. The 140' right-of-way has been shown on the change-of-zone plans; Page 1 of 3 ❑ The applicant shall be required to construct the west two (2) lanes of the proposed I-25 parallel arterial from CR 32 south to Saratoga Street. o The applicant has proposed limited improvements to the I-25 parallel arterial. Currently a 20' wide emergency access is the only proposed roadway planned to be constructed within this right-of-way. The change-of-zone plat shall be revised to show the west two lanes of the 1-25 parallel arterial roadway from CR 32 south to Saratoga Street. J The applicant shall submit with the change-of-zone application a proposed "Improvements Agreements According to Policy Regarding Collateral for(off-site)Improvements". o Included in this off-site improvements agreement shall be paving of WCR 32 and improvements to WCR 5. o Also included in this off-site improvements agreement shall be construction of the west two lanes of the I-25 parallel arterial roadway from CR 32 south to Saratoga Street. o The applicant shall also provide surety to construct the remainder of the 1-25 parallel arterial roadway. o The applicant shall address the phasing of off-site improvements. Internal Roadways: ❑ The proposed access onto WCR 32 on the north end of Parcel B does not provide adequate seperation from the 1-25 parallel arterial. Access to Parcel B must be to the 1-25 parallel arterial. ❑ The typical section of interior roadway shown is acceptable. However, sidewalks shall be located fully within the rights-of-way for the roadways,therefore the internal roadway right-of-way will need to be 72' in width. ❑ Cul-de-sacs shown with 67-foot right-of-way radii and 55-foot radii for paved travel lanes are acceptable to Public Works. ❑ The applicant shall modify the curves C109,C110 and C255 to coincide with a minimum radii of 20-feet. ❑ The applicant shall show a typical cross section for the landscaped entry accesses with median. ❑ The applicant shall submit with the change-of-zone application a proposed "Improvements Agreements According to Policy Regarding Collateral for(on-site) Improvements." These agreements must be reviewed by Public Works and shall be approved by the Board of County Commissioners(BOCC)prior to recording any final plat. o The applicant shall address all phases of the improvements and approximate costs prior to the Board of County Commissioners zone change hearing. o Improvements agreements will be required with each final plat application. p Public Works recommends the establishment of a metro district for maintenance of internal roadways.

The following comments are from Weld County's traffic consultant, Felsburg Holt and Ullevig, from review of'the Traffic Impact Analysis for Liberty Property dated March 8, 2006. ❑ The Liberty Property is located in the southeastern corner of the WCR 5 /WCR 32 intersection. The development is planned to include 141 single family homes, 131 townhomes and up to 40k square feet of commercial uses. ❑ If a site plan is available it would be helpful to include in a future revision of the traffic study. ❑ It appears that the existing traffic volumes shown in Figure 2 at the WCR 32 / WCR 5 and WCR 5 / SH 66 intersections were reversed. Also, an existing level-of-service analysis would be helpful to include determining the impact Liberty Property site traffic has in particular on the WCR 5/SH 66 intersection in the 2010 and 2025 scenarios. ❑ The 2010 & 2025 background traffic projections were based on values contained in the Kiteley Ranch Traffic Impact Study, March 2006. Along the SH 66 corridor, previous reviews concluded that the background traffic projections contained in the Kiteley Ranch report were acceptable for planning purposes. A review of the volumes shows the Liberty Property TIA background estimates are in-line with Kiteley Ranch estimates. ❑ The 2010&2025 trip distribution percentages seem reasonable given the location of the development. ❑ The 2010 site traffic assignment assumes that the WCR 32 and WCR 7 corridors will serve nearly half of the vehicles heading to and from the east via SH 66. Since the WCR 32 corridor is unpaved, the WCR 5 corridor may be a more attractive alternative to gain access to and from the east via SH 66. ❑ Not a major issue,but site traffic volumes entering and exiting the site,especially in the 2025 scenario,do not add up to the totals shown in the trip generation table. The intemal reduction assumed in the traffic study may not have been applied leading to the difference in volumes. Also,there seems to be a typo on Figure 8 at the southern site access onto WCR 5.5 (1234 vph). ❑ Based on the existing traffic volumes and the site traffic projections at the WCR 5 /SH 66 intersection, the Liberty Property site traffic contribution at the north approach of the intersection may be in excess of CDOT's 20% minor modification requirement (Section 2.6.3 in the CDOT Access Code). If the addition of Liberty Property site traffic accounts for a 20% increase in the total approach volume, then a CDOT access permit may be required. The developer should verify with CDOT Region 4 if an access permit application is required as part of this traffic study. Page 1 of 2 ❑ Based on the CDOT Access Code requirements for an R-A highway and the site traffic projections, a westbound right turn deceleration lane is required at the WCR 5 / SH 66 intersection. The existing volumes also show that a westbound right turn acceleration lane is also required at the intersection due to the high volume of southbound right turning vehicles. Since the north approach of the WCR 5 / SH 66 intersection is expected to operate with poor LOS with the addition of Liberty Property site traffic, widening the approach to include an exclusive left turn and a shared through / right turn lane may improve operations under stop sign control. ❑ Previous reports in the area concluded that exclusive right turn acceleration lanes will be installed in both the westbound and eastbound direction at the WCR 7 / SH 66 and WCR 5.5 / SH 66 intersections. While these improvements are not warranted as part of this project, the report should include these improvements in both the analysis and recommendations. ❑ A draft transportation plan has been completed for the Town of Mead, which is anticipated to be adopted by the Town on July 10, 2006. The plan reflects the Town of Mead's intent to designate WCR 5 as the preferred alignment for the I-25 Parallel Arterial north of SH 66. This is a regional issue which can effect the future volume projections and right-of-way impacts for the Liberty Property. It is recommended that Weld County and the developer coordinate with the Town of Mead regarding the alignment of the 1-25 Parallel Arterial adjacent to this property. Recommendation ❑ The Public Works Department recommends approval of this zone change based upon the applicant addressing the above comments. The applicant shall address the comments listed above at the specific step of the review process stated. The review process will continue only when all appropriate elements have been submitted. Any issues of concern must be resolved with the Public Works Department prior to recording the change of zone and final plat?

Comments made during this phase of the subdivision process may not be all-inclusive, as other concerns or issues may arise during the remaining application process. Drainage Comments ❑ Public Works received a Change of Zone Drainage Report for Liberty Properties(PZ-1103)on May 22, 2006. This report was submitted by Reid W. Bond,P.E. (#29647) of Landmark Engineering Ltd., and is dated April 11, 2006. ❑ The Change of Zone Drainage Report is stamped, signed, and dated by a registered P.E. licensed to practice in the state of Colorado. ❑ Liberty PUD is planned for single family residential sites on 122 acres south of WCR 32 and west of WCR 5. Change of Zone Drainage Report Comments: ❑ Please address all redline comments in the Change of Zone Drainage Report ❑ Please refer to the checklist attached to this memorandum for other review comments. ❑ Please recalculate historic 5-year discharge for the allowable release rate from the detention facility based upon on-site flows, as per Weld County CODE 24-7-130(D). o Offsite flows must be managed through the site,but need not be detained. They may be released over the emergency spillway,but may not be added to the 5-year historic release rate. o The required detention pond size (based on the 100-year developed condition)and 5-year historic release rate should be determined using only the entire on-site contributing area. Please recalculate the required detention. ❑ Please describe the offsite historic drainage pattern at the northeast corner of WCR 32 and WCR 5. What currently happens to flow when it arrives to this intersection? ❑ A drainage and erosion control plan must be provided for Parcel B. The current design only addresses drainage and erosion control for Parcel A. ❑ Offsite contours must be shown a minimum of 200 ft outside the limits of the property. ❑ The headwater-to-diameter ratio (HW/D) of proposed culverts may not exceed 1.0 in the 10-yr storm, and 1.5 in the 100-yr storm(CU Sec. 1.1.2). ❑ Please address the transmittal letter to David Bauer,P.E., or to Brian Varrella, P.E., of Weld County Pubic Works. ❑ Please show all offsite subbasins discussed in the drainage report under historic conditions on the D-size drainage exhibit. ❑ Please clarify whether or not the detention pond will be utilized for irrigation retention. Page 4-3, Paragraph 3, Sentences 2 and 3 suggest the pond shall retain an irrigation volume below Elevation 5010.25 ft. Any proposed retention ponds must be approved by the Weld County Public Health and Environment depai tment, and must meet all State of Colorado requirements. Water rights issues must be resolved prior to recording of the final plat. Page 1 of 3 ❑ Please add the following note to the end of Section 4 in the final drainage report; "Weld County is not responsible for the maintenance of drainage related facilities at Liberty PUD." This note must be added to the final plat prior to recording. ❑ Errors in the time of concentration(T0) calculations must be corrected. o Developed conditions, E-series subbasins, for overland and channel flow o Developed conditions, S-series subbasins, for overland and channel flow ❑ Please carefully check spelling throughout all sheets, and check titles to make sure they are for Liberty PUD and not for the Mioduski Professional Building. ❑ Roadway overtopping may not exceed 6 inches in the minor(10-year) storm and 18 inches in the major(100- year) storm, as per Weld County drainage criteria. Please evaluate the capacity of all gutters. ❑ Tailwater must be calculated from downstream hydraulic conditions(channel,pond, or others) for all proposed culverts in the subdivision. o Box culvert equations are not applicable to circular pipes (Chart 8 does not apply to round pipes). o Entrance losses are always non-zero, and should be calculated using entrance loss coefficients provided in HDS-5,Table 12 (FHWA 2005). o Please detuun_ine inlet or outlet control by calculation—it is not acceptable to hard-wire this condition into a culvert analysis.

This proposed PUD Includes approximately 158 acres located southeast of WCR 5 and WCR 32. The plan depicts an alignment for the future parallel I-25 arterial, which, as shown In this proposal, splits the Liberty PUP at Weld County Road 5.8. This application proposes to develop the properly for urban uses with 131 single family residential lots, a neighborhood recreation center,and open space.A 23 acre lot that is part of this change of zone will be developed for commercial uses In the future under a separate application. The City provided comments on the Liberty Properties PUD Sketch Plan in September of 2005. The City's has several comments concerning this proposal as it is currently presented. These are outlined below. This project is proposing en urban level of development that will require a variety of urban services. The property is not located within the current MUD boundary; it is located within the study area for the Southwest Weld 1-25 Corridor Study. The City has been actively participating in this study, which is looking at the current MUD and this expanded study area. Until this study is completed and adopted, the City reiterates its suggestion that it Is premature to approve any change of zone for en urban level development for property not currently within the MUD area. JUN.14.2006 2:11PM N0.321 P.4 The City still questions depicting an alignment for the future parallel 1-25 arterial as part of this application. The City is concerned that approval of development plans in this area might limit alignment options in this corridor. As indicated in the July 12. 2005 letter to the Weld County Commissioners and subsequent communication between the City and County, the City of Longmont looks forward to further exploration and analysis of alternatives for this critical transportation improvement. When the City commented on the sketch plan, questions regarding the pedestrian underpass were included. Specifically, the City had questions regarding whether public funding would be used to construct this underpass and If the location of such a facility had been considered from a regional perspective. In the materials received as part of this change of zone, the summary of concerns states "the pedestrian underpass has been eliminated from the site design' The summary does not address why the underpass was removed and it does not address the City's concern regarding funding and location. Is the County considering an alternative location for this pedestrian facility? Again. thank you for the opportunity to comment on this referral.
