We represent that the real property listed in this petition(s)will be assessed more than one-half of the estimated $50,000 in costs proposed to be assessed to the local Improvement district. Such improvement district is for the purpose of improving the above described unimproved and=maintained public right-of way. The specific Improvements we wish to have constructed are as follows: Shape,and grade the above described road to a standard which would allow it allow it to be accepted by the County for maintenance as more specifically stated in Exhibit A,attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. We request that the following materials be used with the following unit costs: See Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. The specific manner of assessments we recommend is as follows The calculation to determine the share of the assessment for each parcel is based on the portion of the road from the southern most point of contact of each parcel with the intersection with WCR 20 as more specifically stated in Exhibit C,C.1,and C.2. The specific manner of payment we recommend is as follows: The estimated cost per property to be paid in fill without interest or over a ten year period,at an interest rate of%5.00,with the principal being divided into ten equal annual payments along with interest computed to the unpaid balance. We further understand and acknowledge that we are to be responsible,individually for any grading or other adjustments to our driveways and culverts necessitated by such project Do not sign this petition unless you are an owner of real property benefitting from the project and request to be assessed costs of the Improvements. An owner is a person holding fee title to real property. You are an `owner' if you hold a contract to purchase real property,which obligates you to pay general taxes on that property. In that instance,the seller may not sign this petition. C.R.S. section 30-20-602(3) and 603 (3)—Joint tenants and tenants in common should each sign Exhibit A Sec.8-6-150. Road acceptance policy.

IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE Location: From WCR 20 Approximately 0.75 miles North Assumptions: 1. All additional right of way necessary for a 60 foot easement will be dedicated without charge to the project. 2. Roadway width shall be 26 feet. 3. Depth of compacted gravel shall be 4 inches 4.

Loader w/Operator($671/day for 4 days) 2,684 Miscellaneous Expenses Wield survey, contingency, etc. $ 3,450 TOTAL $50,000 Exhibit C Computation of Assessment Shares Simply stated, this cost breakout calculation is based on the premise that those who use more of the road should pay more of the cost to improve it. Those who use it less should pay less. The cost for each lot should be proportional to the minimum distance needed for access. The calculation that determines the share of the assessment from each lot is designed to achieve a fair allocation of cost based on the minimum amount of the road actually required for access, regardless of where current driveways may be located. The distance from the southern most point of contact with the road to the intersection with WCR 20 is the shortest distance of the road that each lot requires. That distance is calculated as a percent of the whole 3/, mile section and becomes the individual lot percent usage. Then the sum of this percent usage from all lots is totaled and divided by the individual lot percent usage to yield the individual percent share of the total project costs. See the map, Exhibit C.1, for the southern point of contact for each lot. See the chart, Exhibit C.2, for the determination of proportional share of costs for each lot. The formula for the calculation is as follows: (individual lot % usage) divided by (Sum of all the % usage) equals (individual lot % share) (individual lot % share) multiplied by (the project cost) equals ( $ Share of assessment) t a Eo2 • o a W N :- h N C / D Li) O O + "a N N C tn P O O O N Z \ \ H • a C• O O €11 \ a o y p .

A final hearing would follow for which a 30 day notice is required to be published so that means 34-45 days after the preliminary. (total of 60-81 days J The assessment occurs after the work is done and there is a hearing with the opportunity to object after the work is completed However, it is also necessary to put this thing on the ballot and the last day for presenting the issue for placement on the ballot by the Clerk and Recorder is September 11 • (Assuming you get the petitions filed the 1st of July , Sept 11 is at the 72 day mark so things could fit ) the election will be November 5 which means actual work will not occur until spring of 2003 at the earliest. However, no assessment will appear until tax bill of January of 2004 . EXHIBIT TO: Weld County Board of Commissioners 7-2-02 FROM: Charles and Kathleen Kovanda 9718 WCR 57 Keenesburg, CO. 80643 303-732-0255 Dear Sirs; We would like to make our feelings clear upon a petition that Mr. Jervis sates he is filing with you. Enclosed you will find a copy of that petition. As a little background- Mr. Jervis called a road meeting at his home approximately two years ago. Only one family showed up. From that response he felt he had the go ahead to do this. REASONS FOR OPPOSITION 1. He has left three property owners without a vote in this matter. He has told them they have no say and that it is a done deal. This was a deliberate move because he knew they would be opposed. 2. His manner of allotting the assessments. He has left people off because "that property is not using the road at present and you can not assess on future possible benefit". Yet he has done just that with two other properties. ( see map that is enclosed) 3. The closeness of the road to the McMann's front door. 4. What other people are told by the County Attorney's and Road Development offices he simply states "that's not true" and dismisses the speaker. 5. He says he only needs to have $26,000 of the monies accounted for to push this through and therefore does not need the rest of us. He arranged the votes that way. 6. Various legal opinions feel that this petition would not stand up to a court challenge. In conclusion we would like to add that he only has the yes vote of three of the families, plus 1/2 of another family, that have property on the road. He has given these families multiple votes. There are 51/2 no votes and one that we don't know. We don't feel that this is enough of a majority for him to put the rest of us through this.

The following are the reasons for the rejection: • 1. Your letter dated November 12, 1999,indicates you have improved a 3/4 mile segment of roadway. In fact, only approximately L900 feet have been improved. Regardless, the improvement will have to be extended a total length of one mile. lam requiring that the additional one quarter mile improvement be completed to ensure the County will riot be responsible later. This will also accommodate continuity for potential improvements in the next mile north. 2. The northern terminus of the roadway should include a cul-de-sac with a minimum radius of 50 feet and an easement encompassing the improvement. 3. Currently,there is only a 30-foot right-of-Way for the improvement. It will be necessary to dedicate an additional 30 feet of right-of-way along the east side of the E 'h of Section 15, Township 2 North,Range 64 West,which I understand is under your control. • 4. The roadway must be constructed with a 60-foot tight-of-way that will reflect concentric geometry.Currently,it is offset within the'existing 30 feet of right-of-way,which places the edge of the roadway too close to existing utilities poles creating a safety hazard. EXHIBIT 07/18/02 13:25 FAX 303 654 8182 PFS a 003 • Mt Kenneth L. Madsen December 29, 1999 Page 2 5. Your letter indicates culverts will be installed"as plot accesses are defined." There is no evidence of culvert installations to facilitate drainage for the existing accesses. Those' culverts must be installed prior to acceptance to ensure that the County does not become responsible'for installation. 6 No cross road pipe has been appropriated on WCR 57 immediately north of the intersection of WCR 20. That pipe should be sized and installed . It also appears that an l8-inch cross road pipe may be required approximately 1500 feet north of the intersection noted above to drain a small watershed on the west side of WCR 57. 7. Ditches are not properly defined along the east side of the roadway.

When Mr. Jervis spoke with us concerning the petition he told us that several of the residents of road had no problem with the petition and that they were in favor of it. Yet, after the fact of signing we discovered this not to be correct information. Mr. &Mrs. Ken McMann and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Wilder are not in favor of this petition. 2. When Mr. Jervis spoke with us he told us that the bottom line would be fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00)and that if the road costs went over this amount the county would be responsible for the overage. Upon investigating this I have learn that this decision will be up to the county commissioner and that it may be possible for the road to cost us more then the original estimate of fifty thousand($50,000.00). After all the word estimate suggests that it is not a firm bid. But just an estimate. 3. Mr. Jervis also told us that our signatures did matter if they were on the petition or not. Yet,I have discovered that if they were not on the petition the county would not have accepted this petition to begin with. 4. Originally, when this project was first suggested and undertaken it did not seem to be that big of a deal. Yet,as this has progressed it has become a can of worms and has caused difference between the neighbors in the area. For these reasons alone we feel that it may not be the right time in which to move forward with this petition. Maybe at a later date when there can be a mutual agreement between all the neighbors of road 57 we will back a stipulated agreement. But at the present time it is causing dissention in the community with long reaching effects even to the residents of Keensburg. So for the above reasons I, Patricia A.Draper and I,Randall M. Draper am asking the Commissioners who sit on the Weld County Board to remove our names from Mr. John Jervis petition until which time as there can be a mutual agreement between the residents of Road 57. 14 N. c7Cia Draper Randall M.
