Narratives Assessing the Impact of the Annexation (provided by Del Camino LLC): 1. Fire Protection: Fire protection will be provided by the Mountain View Fire Protection District. The property is within the American Medical Response of Colorado area of service. 2. Parks and Recreation: a. The proposed development is approximately 157.24 AC, of which 24.9 AC will be dedicated to the Town of Mead as open space. Through the use of a Park and a canal, open space is integrated throughout the community. Approximately 15.8% of the total property is open space. b. The neighborhood parks and the perimeter open space will be dedicated to the Town of Mead, but will be maintained by the Home Owners Association (HOA). The allocation of funds for maintenance of all common open spaces will be determined by the HOA at the time of its inception. In addition, the HOA will maintain the detention areas. All other open space will be dedicated to the Town of Mead and will be maintained by the Town of Mead. c. A unique feature on site is the Sanbom canal that runs west to east through the southem portion of the property. This feature and adjacent native vegetation will be preserved and utilized for pedestrian trail connections to the community park. 3. Environmental Considerations: a. There are no areas designated as wetlands within the limits of the site. b. The property has been used for agricultural purposes. The farming operation utilizes pesticides, fertilizers and petrochemical fuels. A Level I Environmental Assessment will be conducted prior to Final Plat. c. Noise and vibration within the development will be minimal and will comply with all rules and regulations of the Town of Mead and the Weld County Health Department. d. Smoke, dust, and odor will not be an issue with the proposed development. The land uses proposed will not generate smoke or odors. Additionally, all roads will be paved, therefore no dust will be generated. e. Heat, light, and glare will be controlled by landscape and development design. f. Visual/aesthetic impacts of the development will blend with the natural surroundings and will adhere to Town of Mead development requirements. g. No high voltage uses are proposed within the development; therefore, electrical interference is not an issue. h. Water pollution will be prevented by installing erosion control measures during Page 3 of 6 construction, monitoring existing oil and gas facilities, and providing public sanitary sewer. There are no areas designated as wetlands within the limits of the site. j. Erosion and sedimentation will be kept to a minimum through adequate landscaping and site design. k. Excavating, grading, and filling will occur on the site in order to create roads and building sites as well as detention basins. However, cut and fill will be kept to a minimum through sensitive site planning. Drilling, ditching, and dredging will occur on-site. Normal excavation related to construction of buildings and roads is expected. Excavated material will be used in areas that require fill. m. Air pollution (e.g., burning of trash, diesel trucks, etc.)within the development will not occur. n. Solid waste will be disposed of by a local trash company. The regional commercial and employment center will have dumpsters and residential development will have curbside service. o. The majority of the property is currently being farmed; therefore, wildlife habitat will not be eliminated. The part of the property which has wildlife on-site is limited to the irrigation canal corridor. This area will be preserved as open space and trail linkages. p. Existing vegetation has been removed through farming. However, the area along the irrigation canal has same native vegetation that will be preserved to the greatest extent possible. q. No radiation or radioactive material exists on-site. r. Oil/Gas Wells: There is one producing oil/gas well and its auxiliary storage facilities located on the site. The well is intended to remain on the property until such time that it becomes abandoned and plugged. The owner has reached agreement with the oil company on additional drilling sites. s. The proposed development is not located within a flood hazard, geologic hazard, or airport overlay district. 4. Economic development potential: This development provides a multitude of economic development opportunities for the Town of Mead. The Regional Commercial area (53.8 acres, accommodating up to 694,000 square feet)will provide space for new businesses. These businesses will provide jobs for the residents of Mead and will generate sales tax revenue for the Town. Page 4 of 6 Construction of this development, estimated to be over 100 million dollars, will create employment and service/sales opportunities for residences and business in Mead. The housing portion of this development will increase the population of the Town of Mead, thereby increasing the customer base for existing businesses and creating the need for additional businesses. Some of these new businesses will locate within the development, and others within the Town. In addition, The Town of Mead will benefit from typical municipal revenues (e.g. building permits, parks fees, property tax, etc.). These are itemized on Form D-4, Fiscal Analysis. 5. Compatibility with Town Policy: Street Master Plan — It is the applicant's intent to construct roads, which meet or exceed the Town of Mead's Land Use Code and the Standard Design Criteria and Construction Requirements, Volume 1. Minor Streets will have a 54' ROW. The applicant also is proposing a 100' wide collector street running west to east from the 1-25 frontage road to the proposed WCR 9 %I . The collector bisects the property in half. At this time to the best of applicant's knowledge the 125 frontage road will remain in use until WCR 9 % is completed from Highway 119 to State Highway 66. The width of pavement on both sides of the median will be 24' and the total width of the right-of-way will be 100 feet. (see the Concept Plan, for additional information) 6. Subdivision Plan— N/A 7. Comprehensive Plan a. The land uses proposed by this development are consistent with the land uses shown on the Weld County MUD Plan. b. On the Town of Mead Comprehensive Plan, this area is not delineated with a land use designation. We are therefore deferring to the designations on the Weld County MUD Plan. c. The applicant understands that, in order to be annexed into the Town of Mead, the comprehensive plan (and related agreements with Weld County)will need to be amended to include this property. 8. Land Use Code: a. It is the intent of this development to comply with the requirements of the Town of Mead Land Use Code. However, the Concept Plan submitted represents a preliminary design. If the plan is modified, due to comments from the Town of Mead or due to conditions not known by the Applicant at this time, the Applicant may decide to vary from these requirements, but only with the approval of the Town. b. The proposed development is a mixed-use project. Typically, re-zoning of the property to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) classification would be requested Page 5 of 6 for such a project. Currently, the Town of Mead does not have such a classification. It is our understanding that a PUD classification is being prepared. If a PUD classification is added to the Land Use Code at the time we request zoning for this property, we are willing to meet the corresponding requirements. c. The Land Use Code, in regards to parkland dedication, allows for either the dedication of land or the payment of cash in lieu of land. At this time, the Applicant wishes to dedicate a portion of the required quantity of land. 9. Existing and Adjacent Land Use: At this time, the land use of properties immediately adjacent to this proposed development are farmland. Between this development and Highway 66, there are properties with commercial and industrial land uses. In the future, no conflicts are anticipated between this development and adjacent properties since surrounding land uses to the east, north and south, on the Weld County MUD Plan, have been designated for similar land uses. Properties to the east and northeast have been designated for Commercial/Residential Uses on the Town of Mead Comprehensive Plan. III. Exhibits: A.
