1. APPLICANT: Fran Garcia
CASE NUMBER: PF-564
PLANNER: Robert Anderson
REQUEST: Final Plan/Garcia Planned Unit Development(PUD)with E (Estate)Zone Uses
for Five Lots with 5.65 +/- acres Common Open Space
LEGAL: Lot A of RE-2509; being part of the NE4 of Section 6, T4N, R68W of the 6th
P.M., Weld County, Colorado.
LOCATION: South of and adjacent to State Highway 60 and west of and adjacent to WCR 3.
Doug Dalton, Chair, Xcel Energy, called the meeting to order.
Kim Ogle, for Robert Anderson, Planner, presented case PF-564.
Don Carroll, Public Works suggested that the perimeter easement be straight, adjacent to the property
line through that section. Mr. Carroll said that what may happen in the future, if the tank batteries do go
away, will be a strange easement on a circular pattern crossing two lots, and that would not appear to
make good sense at this location.
Doug Dalton, Xcel Energy suggested the 200 foot easement be called a setback instead and put in as
an easement along the perimeter, which would also help with the building envelopes because it is going
to be tight anyway.
Mr. Carroll pointed out that if a building technician were to take a look at the building envelope and there
is a utility easement right in the center, it could possibly be a problem at that location.
Don Leffler, the applicant's representative, suggested that they make that continuous with the property
line between Lots 1 & 2 to make the utility easement on both sides of that run parallel with the property
line.
Mr. Carroll asked Mr. Leffler if he had been in contact with the State Highway Department to see if they
were asking for any future right-of-way off of HWY 60?
Mr. Leffler replied that they had been in contact with CDOT and have submitted a letter and a response
from CDOT. Mr. Leffler also pointed out that the plat designates a 75 foot right-of-way dedication with an
additional 25 foot right-of-way reservation put in place adjacent to Highway 60. This information has
been placed on the final plat.
Mr. Dalton asked if there were any comments from the fire agency on this because of the turn-around?
Mr. Leffler said the round-about they have done does meet the design criteria as far as the fire
department is concerned.
Mr. Dalton asked for any other concerns or comments.
Mr. Carroll asked Mr. Leffler if they had contacted most or all of the utility companies to verify that they
are comfortable with the easements or are there any requests?

Mr. Leffler replied that Mr. Garcia, the applicant; had been doing that because he is getting ready for the

construction portion of the project, and so far has not gotten any additional comments addressing the
board's concerns regarding the easements on the property lines.
Jerry Adams, Greeley Gas (Atmos), said he noticed that some of the perimeter easements are called out
as LTWD (Little Thompson Water District) utility easements. He was not really sure what that meant
and asked if any utility can use those easements?
Mr. Leffler indicated that those are filings that were made by Little Thompson Water District and
recorded specifically to show up on the deed and the drawings, and are exclusive to the LTWD.
Mr. Adams said it looks to him that if he was trying to access the subdivision, he would need some kind
of a perimeter utility easement that he could use to get off of WCR 3 right-of-way. How would he do
that?
Mr. Leffler responded that they have in place a 20 foot utility and drainage easement surrounding the
perimeters of all of the lots.
Mr. Dalton said he didn't see where they could cross since Little Thompson Water District had the
easements on the north and the east, so utilities would have to come in through the road access.
Mr. Leffler said parallel to WCR 3 there is an LLUE, an all inclusive landscape utility easement, as well
as the landscape and open space, which actually overlays the Little Thompson Water District easement,
giving all of the utilities a right to be in the LTWD easement.
Mr. Carroll asked Mr. Leffler if there were any notes on the plat that would hinder utilities from utilizing or
crossing the open space or landscaped areas?
Mr. Leffler replied that there are no restrictions on this.
Mr. Dalton asked if there was a motion to approve with the additions the board has requested?
Mr. Adams made a motion to approve PF-564 with the following two modifications: change the utility
easement, called out as a 200 foot setback, and move that utility easement parallel to the rear lot lines
along Lots 1 &2; and continuing the side lot utility easement between Lots 1 & 2 to meet with that
easement.
Mr. Carroll seconded.
Motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
- Mc Donita May
Secretary
