The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated September 6, 2002, and duly published
September 11, 2002, in the Tri-Town Farmer and Miner, a public hearing was conducted to
consider the request of Shultz Farm, Inc., for Change of Zone#622 from the A(Agricultural)Zone
District to the PUD (Planned Unit Development)Zone District for nine (9) lots with E (Estate)Zone
uses, along with 9.4 acres of open space. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a
matter of record. Chair Vaad advised the applicant's representative, Todd Hodges, of the option
to continue to a date when the full Board is present because approval will require a unanimous vote
of the three Commissioners in attendance. Mr. Hodges indicated the applicant would like to
proceed today. Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of
the proposal and entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the
record as written. Ms. Lockman gave a brief description of the location of the site and surrounding
uses. She stated the lots will be serviced by individual sewage disposal systems and the Little
Thompson Water District. She stated 13 referral agencies responded favorably or provided
comments which have been incorporated into the Conditions of Approval. She stated the revised
septic system envelopes have been reviewed and approved by the Department of Public Health
and Environment, and the Department of Public Works is requiring the applicant to upgrade and
pave the internal road to Weld County standards. Ms. Lockman further stated the applicant has
requested the Final Plan be administratively reviewed, and if the Board concurs, they will need to
indicate that in the motion.
Peter Schei, Department of Public works, stated staff has requested the applicant to provide a
confirmation letter from the Great Western Railway verifying the right-of-way of the railroad and
granting approval of the applicant's request to release stormwater into the railroad right-of-way.
Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Schei stated Weld County Road 13 is classified as an

arterial and the Department of Public Works is requesting 70 feet of right-of-way from the centerline
be dedicated to the County. Responding to Chair Vaad, Mr. Schei stated Condition of
Approval #1.C addresses the issues of railroad right-of-way and the release of stormwater. In
response to Commissioner Masden, Ms. Lockman stated Weld County School District RE-5 has
requested a bus pick-up area be designated at the Final Plan phase. Mr. Schei added staff is
recommending an internal bus pick-up due to the proximity of the railroad and the status of Weld
County Road 13 as an arterial. Commissioner Masden indicated he would prefer that to be
specifically included as a Condition of Approval.
TrevorJiricek,Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment,stated the development
meets the minimum standards for lot size and density, and added the septic envelopes have been
enlarged to account for poor soils in the area. In response to Chair Vaad, Ms. Lockman stated
administrative approval can be noted in the motion rather than adding a Condition of Approval,and
she also requested the first sentence of Condition#5.L be amended to state, "The Final Plan shall
include a common mail/bus pick-up area along the interior roadway."
Todd Hodges, Todd Hodges Design, LLC, represented the applicant and stated they typically
request an internal pick-up area; however, many of the local School Districts prefer to stop along
the primary route, so he would like some flexibility to work with the School Districts on a
case-by-case basis. Chair Vaad suggested adding the phrase, "or as agreeable by the School
District." Mr. Hodges stated they will work with the railroad company to address the drainage. He
stated the drainage would be carried through an existing culvert, and they have amended the
design to accommodate the additional right-of-way. Mr. Hodges stated the development is
designed to cluster nine lots, and the proposal exceeds the open space requirements. He stated
the site is south of Johnstown's growth area, and he feels this will be compatible with the
agricultural setting and future development that could occur in the area. Mr. Hodges submitted a
letter from the Johnstown Fire Protection District, marked Exhibit F, and stated the applicant will
work with Johnstown Fire Protection District to determine the appropriate radius and width of the
access to be shown on the plat. Responding to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Hodges stated they have
not met with the Town of Mead yet; however, that is required as a Condition of Approval prior to
recording the plat.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Responding to Chair Vaad, Mr. Hodges
stated he and the applicant have reviewed and agree with the Conditions of Approval.
Commissioner Geile moved to approve the request of Shultz Farm, Inc.,for Change of Zone#622
from the A(Agricultural)Zone District to the PUD(Planned Unit Development)Zone District for nine
(9) lots with E (Estate) Zone uses, along with 9.4 acres of open space, based on the
recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission, with the Conditions of
Approval as entered into the record. His motion also included allowing an administrative review
of the Final Plan, and amending the first sentence of Condition #5.L to state, "The Final Plat shall
include a common mail/bus pick-up area along the interior roadway, or as agreed upon by the
School District." The motion was seconded by Commissioner Masden,and it carried unanimously.
There being no further discussion, the hearing was completed at 10:25 a.m.
