Subject: Twin View Estates, LLC,case number PZ-1085
Dear Michelle:
The Colorado Division of Wildlife has checked and reviewed the subject property and proposed development as to
potential impacts on wildlife. The parcel is currently agricultural land and generally cannot be considered as
critical habitat for any wildlife species.
According to the Colorado Division of Wildlife Natural Diversity Information Source Map for Weld County,the
area provides winter range for bald eagles, foraging areas and winter range and winter concentration areas for
ducks and geese,and is within the overall range for pheasant and mule deer and white-tailed deer. Coyote,fox,
raccoon, skunk, songbirds,other raptors and herptofauna may also occur in this area.
Native trees and downed or dead wood on the property should be left as now exists for continued benefits to
wildlife. Upon disturbance of any areas,noxious weeds should be monitored and controlled. Homeowners should
also be aware that planting trees,shrubs and other herbaceous plants may attract wildlife. Subsequently,
ornamental landscaping may be damaged by wildlife. Homeowners will need to be responsible for damages
incurred and will not be eligible for any reimbursement by the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
Chronic Wasting Disease has been diagnosed within deer herds west of this parcel. Homeowner and landowner
cooperation has played a crucial role in Colorado Division of Wildlife management efforts and will continue to be
essential in the future. Homeowners should be aware of this disease and management efforts associated with
maintaining healthy deer populations. Homeowners should be aware that feeding big game animals, including
deer, in Colorado is prohibited. Attracting and concentrating herds of deer by supplemental feeding may play a
role in the prevalence and spread of chronic wasting disease.
Homeowners should be made aware of the presence of native predators. Pets should not be allowed to roam free.
All domesticated livestock and farm animals should be secured with wildlife proof fencing appropriate for the
species being raised. Pets as well may negatively interact with wildlife even on the home-sites and homeowners
will be responsible for handling these problems. Homeowners should secure pet and animal feeds,trash
containers, and charcoal/gas grills. Pets should have current shots. All control of nuisance wildlife will be the
homeowner's responsibility with the possible exception of bears and mountain lions. Homeowners and potential

homeowners will find additional recommendations and information in the following Colorado Division of Wildlife
Brochures: "Living With Wildlife In Coyote Country", "Living With Wildlife Canada Geese", and"Too Close For
Comfort".
Homeowners should also be aware that hunting may be an ongoing fall and winter activity on lands surrounding
the development. Shooting will occur normally in the early mornings until dark on these areas. The sounds of
gunfire may be somewhat distracting,yet should be noted to the potential owners and developer.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments. If you have any questions regarding these comments,please

Re: PZ-1085
The Sheriffs Office recommends the following improvements for this housing sub-division:
1. The Sheriff's 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 Sheriffs 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.
9. The Sheriffs Office encourages Law Enforcement Authorities to provide additional funding for
law enforcement requirements in the future.
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
1
indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was developed. I have no other comments on this
proposal.

referral Notes for PZ-1085 - TWIN VIEW ESTATES PUD
1. Weld County Code Ord. 2003-6, Section 2-13-70-H limits the name of east-west cul-
de-sacs to "Place" and north-south cul-de-sacs to "Way". Both of these interior
streets could be east-west or north-south, therefore, my suggestion would be to
rename "Twin View Lane" to "Twin View Way" and "Twin View Court" to
"Twin View Place".
2. Please verify whether the street name is "Twin View" or "Twinview"— it is spelled
both ways on the plat.

COLORADO SUBJECT: PZ-1085 Twin View Estates PUD(Zone Change)
Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this change-of-zone request. 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
External Roadways:
❑ This development will introduce approximately 86 (9-lots x 9.57) additional vehicle trips per day to the roadway
system. The residential traffic added to the roadway system will have enough impact to require off-site roadway
improvements. While a traffic study is not required by Weld County, the applicant shall participate in paving
improvements to WCR 3. This will require an off-site improvements agreement with Weld County.
❑ WCR 3 is classified as a local roadway with 60-ft of right of way.
o The applicant has labeled and dimensioned the right-of-way for WCR 3 on the change-of-zone plat.
internal Roadways:
❑ The internal roadway right-of-way shall be 60-feet in width including cul-de-sacs with a 65- foot radius and 50-foot
edge of pavement radius, have been shown and dedicated to the public on the change-of-zone plat. The typical
roadway cross-section should be shown as two 12-foot paved lanes with two 4-foot gravel shoulders on the change-
of-zone plat prior to the Planning commission hearing.
o The applicant has requested a curb and gutter and sidewalk waiver (from the Board of County
Commissioners) in the change-of-zone application materials submitted.
❑ Stop signs and street name sign locations must be shown on the final roadway construction plans.
❑ Easements shall be shown on the final plat in accordance with County standards (Sec.24-7-60) and/ or Utility Board
recommendations.
❑ Intersection sight distance triangles at the development entrance will be required. All landscaping within the triangles
must be less than 3% feet in height at maturity, and shown on the final roadway plans.
❑ The applicant shall submit to Public Works stamped, signed and dated final plat drawings and roadway/construction
& grading plan drawings for review (with the final plan application) and approval. Construction details must be
included.
❑ The applicant shall provide a pavement design prepared by a professional engineer along with the final plan submittal.
❑ The applicant shall submit Improvements Agreements According to Policy Regarding Collateral for Improvements
(with the final plan application). These agreements must be reviewed by Public Works and shall be approved by the
Board of County Commissioners(BOCC)prior to recording the final plat.

•
Drainage:
❑ A drainage report has been submitted with the sketch plan submittal materials.
o The final drainage report shall include water quality capture volume for the detention pond. The volume
must be calculated as the 2-yr storm with a 24-hr drain time and must be in addition to all 5, and 100-yr
calculated detention volumes. Please refer to Urban Drainage, Volume 3, Section 4.4.2.
o A discussion of the nature and condition of the receiving waters must be included in the final drainage
report. For example, the county will need to know where the water from the detention pond is going and
what the downstream affects are. It is unclear from the drainage map provided how this system works.
❑ Final drainage report, construction and erosion control plans (conforming to the drainage report) stamped, signed and
dated by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado shall be submitted with the final application.
o The final drainage report shall adhere to the storm drainage design and technical criteria regulations in
Section 24-7-130 of the Weld County Code.
❑ The applicant shall prepare a construction detail for typical lot grading with respect to drainage for the final
application. Front, rear and side slopes around building envelopes must be addressed. In addition, drainage for rear
and side lot line swales shall be considered. Building envelopes must be planned to avoid storm water flows, while
taking into account adjacent drainage mitigation.
Recommendation
The Public Works Department recommends approval of this change-of-zone request (conditional upon receipt and
approval of required information).
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 plats:

Subject: PZ-1085; Twin View Estates
Good morning, Michelle.
Having briefly researched the topic of curb & gutter in our Code and other applicable reference
materials, we feel that a waiver from curb & gutter and sidewalk is reasonable in this case.
Speaking strictly from a stormwater management perspective, the use of curb and gutter often
requires the utilization of storm sewer facilities, which the County presently is not capable of
maintaining. Additionally, the use of best management practices suggests the incorporation of
grass-lined swales to mitigate adverse affects of stormwater runoff. The applicant has proposed
the use of grass-lined swales, which are acceptable to Public Works.
Speaking from a transportation perspective, AASHTO's "Green Book" states the following:
"Streets normally are designed with curbs to allow greater use of available width and for control
of drainage, protection of pedestrians, and delineation." Due to the limited traffic (vehicular and
pedestrian) volumes anticipated within this subdivision, and the availability of ample space,
Public Works feels that the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalks in this development would
not significantly improve the safety or serviceability of the internal roadway system within this
development.
It is for these reasons that Public Works would recommend to the Board of County
Commissioners approval of the applicant's request for a waiver from curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
Feel free to contact us at your leisure if you have any other questions, comments, or concerns.
Thank You,
Robert Lewis Jacobs, E.I.

COLORADO Health and Environment
CASE NO.: PZ-1085 NAME: Twin Views Estates
The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. The applicant proposes a 9 lot
PUD on 72 acres. The minimum lot size is 4.6 acres, and coupled with the overall density of one
septic system per 8 acres does meet current Department policy.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water and sewer
service. The application states the water will be supplied by Little Thompson Water District and a
water service agreement has been included in the application materials. Sewer will be provided by
individual sewage disposal systems.
Preliminary percolation data was submitted with the Sketch Plan application. The study, conducted
by High Plains Engineering and dated January 14, 2005 indicates that the southeast portion of the
site (south east of the ditch that bisects the property) has groundwater at 6 feet and 7 feet (two
borings). A percolation test also conducted in this area found the perc rate to be 74 minutes per inch.
The perc rate for the northern portion of the site was marginally acceptable (53 mpi). The study was
conducted in the winter, when groundwater conditions are expected to be most favorable. The
Department recommended monitoring the groundwater conditions through the summer months
(June-August) to determine the maximum seasonal high groundwater levels. It is not known if the
applicant conducted that groundwater monitoring, as none was submitted in the Change of Zone
application. Based on the findings of the January 2005 report, it is likely to expect engineered
systems on at least the southern portion of the site, and possibly the northern portion as well. Site
specific percolation tests at the time of lot development will determine the exact kind of system to be
installed. Because of the lot sizes the Department is not requiring primary and secondary septic
envelopes on the lots. However, all septic systems must be 100 feet from the ditch.
The initial impact plan (section 27-6-40) in the application materials was acceptable.
The Department recommends approval with the following conditions:
1. Water service shall be obtained from Central Weld County Water District and Little
Thompson Water District.
2. This subdivision is in rural Weld County and is not served by a municipal sanitary sewer
system. Sewage disposal shall be by septic systems designed in accordance with the
regulations of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment,Water Quality
Control Division and the Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair,
replacement, or modification of the system.
3. A stormwater discharge permit may be required for a development/redevelopment

or equal to one acre in area. Contact the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and the Environment at

4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. "Weld County's Right to Farm" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County Code
shall be placed on any recorded plat.

Dear Ms. Martin:
We have previously reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 71.68-acre
parcel into nine residential lots with one common open space outlot (11 acres) by our letter
dated March 8, 2005. The Water Supply Information Summary Sheet included in the referral
material indicates that the household use water requirements for the nine lots are 4,050 gallons
per day per day (4.58 acre-feet per year). The water use estimates appear to be high compared
to a typical estimate based on an average of 3.5 persons per dwelling and 80 gallons of water
per person per day. No outside uses of water were proposed or identified for any of the 9
residential lots and no water use was identified for the common open space lot.
The proposed water source for this development is still identified as the Little Thompson
Water District ("District"). A copy of a Water Extension Agreement ("Agreement")was included
in the referral material. Based on the information from the Agreement the District will provide
water service to the subdivision per rules and regulations and line extension policies as adopted
in the Agreement, charging fees for the water supply on a per tap basis payable prior to the
activation of the tap.
As mentioned in our previous letter dated March 8, 2005 and pursuant to Section 30-28-
136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's office offers the opinion that contingent upon water
service being provided by the District, the proposed water supply will not cause material injury to
existing water rights and the supply is expected to be adequate.
If you have any question in this matter please contact loana Comaniciu of this office.
