RE: Weld County Referral
Guy Jensen
Change of Zone from A (Agriculture) to E (Estate)
Case Number Z-566
Thank you for referring the Guy Jensen Change of Zone from A (Agriculture) to
E (Estate) to the School District. Based upon expected student generation
,"- rates from what appears to be the possibility of 4 new single family units on
20 acres, the four (4) new homes, at build out, would generate approximately
3 new students to be accommodated within district. Bus transportation would
likely be provided.
It is understood that approval of the proposed zoning change does not yet add
residential units to enrollment potential. However, certain school issues
should be considered at this important juncture, including school site
planning, transportation access and facility capacity.
The current facilities that would serve this development are Twombly Primary,
Butler Elementary, Fort Lupton Middle School and Fort Lupton High School.
Capacities and enrollments of these schools are:
Seats
Student Enrollment Available
School (Grades Served) Capacity (10/1/01) (Short)
Twombly Primary (K-2) 530 540 (10)
Butler Elementary (3-4) 420 409 11
Fort Lupton Middle School (5-8) 890 804 86
Fort Lupton High School (9-12) 770 744 26
The District is on record as not opposing growth so long as the growth is
planned and is manageable from a student enrollment standpoint. This
development could impact all levels of schools. In addition, even without
this project, completion of other previously approved developments would
generate more students than can be accommodated by the existing schools.
/-. As the volume of developments increases with no alleviation of the existing
capacity conditions, the ability to provide the same quality education for
these new students becomes increasingly difficult. Weld County School
District Re-8 requests the cooperation and participation of the develo EXHIBIT

need for future school sites. Further, the District requests that the County
assist with monitoring residential growth working and consider facility
capacity impacts upon the schools in determining whether a new project should
be approved.
We appreciate your cooperation and the opportunity to comment upon the issues
of interest to both the County and the School District. We ask that the
building permit not be issued until the applicant demonstrates that the cash
in-lieu of land dedication fee has been paid, or that arrangements have been
made with the School District. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please do not hesitate to give me a call at (303) 857-3200.

External Roadways:
WCR 23 is designated as a collector in the Weld County Comprehensive Transportation Plan and
requires a minimum 80-foot right-of-way. The rezoning plat submitted includes dedication of an
additional 10 feet which adequately addresses right-of-way needs.
The applicant has requested the existing access to Lot 1 remain in use as long as the parcel continues
in agricultural production. This is acceptable but a clarification is needed. When residential
development occurs on Lots 2, 3,or 4 the agricultural production of the parcel will be effected. The
existing access to Lot 1 should be closed and a new internal access constructed when any new
building permits are issued on Lots 2, 3, or 4.
Internal Roadways:
Roads within minor subdivisions do not require paving. The minimum gravel roadway width is 26'.
The width shown on the rezoning plat on the cross section is 20'. Prior to recording the rezoning
plat, the roadway width dimension must be increased to 26'. Prior to recording of the final plat,
roadway construction plans must be submitted to and approved by the Public Works Department.
Stop signs and road name signs will be required. Landscaping in the intersection sight distance
triangles must be less than 3.5' high at maturity.
Storm Water:
A drainage report has been submitted and is acceptable. It calls for detention of storm water at the
southeast corner of the property and then release under WCR 14.5 into Little Dry Creek. Plans for
the construction of the detention pond and outlet structures must be submitted to and approved by
the Public Works Department prior to recording the final plat.

Subject: Z-566 Referral Response
Dear Ms. Light:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the proposed change of zone for Lot B of
RE-2303. The Fort Lupton Planning Commission reviewed this request at their
November 13, 2001 meeting and has the following comments:
1. Please ensure that this subdivision mitigates its own impacts by
contributing a proportionate share toward public services such as schools,
fire protection, roads and other public services and infrastructure.
2. The Commission does not have a concern about this subdivision in
particular; however, if this type of development were approved
consistently in the areas surrounding the city, there would be significant
impacts to our municipal infrastructure and services.
3. Please ensure that this development proposal meets the requirements of
the intergovernmental agreement between the City and County regarding
Section 3.2 - Development Outside Urban Growth Area. Since the
subdivision is not a typical cluster subdivision, this proposal may not meet
the definition of "Non-Urban Development" as defined in Section 2.2.
The Planning Commission minutes are attached for background information.
Please do not hesitate to call our office at 303.875.6694 if you have further
questions.
Sincerely,
Brian Grubb, AICP

5. WELD COUNTY REFERRALS -
A) Weld County Case #Z-566, Change of Zone
The applicant, Guy Jensen of 6706 WCR 23 Fort Lupton, Colorado, is requesting approval of a Change
of Zone for a 20-acre parcel located north of and adjacent to WCR 14 ''A and West of and adjacent to
WCR 23. The existing zoning is A (Agricultural). The applicant is proposing to change the zone to E
(Estate).
This case is outside of the City of Fort Lupton's urban growth area but is in the City's referral area. It is
governed by the IGA and the proposal is to change the zone from agricultural to estate. Mr. Grubb's
main concern is whether or not the proposal will comply with section 2.2 and 3.2 of the City's IGA.
Section 3.2 says to the extent legally possible the County will disapprove proposals for urban
development; areas of the municipal referral area outside the urban growth area, in reviewing the
proposal in non-urban development in such area the County will apply its comprehensive plan. This
situation is covered in the first sentence of this section. Does this meet the definition of non-urban
development, which is Section 2.2? According to the definition, non-urban development is land use or
Planning Commission Minutes November 13, 2001 Page 2
capable of being used for agricultural production and including developments which combine clustered
residential uses and agricultural uses in a manner that agricultural lands are suitable for farming and
ranching operations in the next 40 years. This is not one of Weld County's clustered developments and
this is why Mr. Grubb is raising this issue. In this situation the applicant is starting with a 20-acre tract
and it isn't being clustered in any manner. The land is being divided into equal lots with no agricultural
land being left over. The lots will between 4-5 acres each. Lot 1 and Lot A could possibly be sub-
divided further in the future. Central Weld Water will be used and they will be on septic systems. Mr.
Grubb's recommendation is that the Planning Commission express no difficulties with this proposal in
and of itself but recommends that the applicant contribute their proportionate share to the RE-8 school
district and Fire District, also that if there are a number of these approved around the City Limits that it
could impact the transportation system and the schools. IGA section 3.2 also needs to be looked at.
MOTION: By Gene Reynolds to check box #3 (See attached letter) with staff recommendations that
the applicant contribute proportionate funds to the RE-8 School District and to the local Fire District and
also that the IGA section 3.2 be looked at, seconded by Sandy Neb. Passed on a voice vote.
6. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None
7. ACTION ITEMS: None
8. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A) Modifications to Appel Farms Final Plat:
Discussed the minor adjustments that are being proposed on this subdivision. The east 1/3 of the
project is what is being changed. This change would give a good access to a signalized
intersection. The development would be allowed one full movement access and that could be
Rolland Ave. to the east until such time Purman is built. At that time Rolland Ave. will be
emergency only. CDOT wants Purman to be the full movement access road. The Hwy Department
is recommending a 146 buffer for noise purposes. The developer already has plans for the buffer.
New plat maps need to be distributed to Council and Staff. SIA will need to be adjusted by Brian
Grubb.
Steve Mitchell discussed the new design of the Safeway project with the Planning Commission
Board.
B) Field Trip Follow-up:
The Board said that it gave them a new visual prospective on what they like and dislike.
C) Results of Visual Preference Survey:
Brian reviewed these results with the Board. Discussion.
