Barker, Weld County Attorney • DATE: October 20, 2000 COLORADO SUBJECT: Request to Vacate a Portion of Bluebell Avenue See the attached Memorandum from Frank regarding a request to vacate a portion of Bluebell Avenue. Given that Bluebell Avenue is within a platted subdivision (Etherton's), the vacation will need to take the form of a minor resubdivision. I suppose it would be like the minor resubdivision the Board of County Commissioners approved for the Johnson Subdivision three or four years ago. I am not sure who the applicant will need to be on the minor resubdivision. I think Nancy Fiscus originally dropped off the petition. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me of extension 43 Bruce T.

TO: Bruce Barker, County Attorney DATE: October 18, 2000 11111111e FROM: Frank B. Hempen, Jr., P.E. En Director of Public Works/County gineer SUBJECT: Request to Vacate a Portion of Bluebell Avenue COLORADO Attached is a petition for the vacation of Bluebell Avenue (a.lc.a. Bell Avenue). I request this petition be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation for approval. It is my understanding the request is to vacate the southerly 25-50 feet of the road right-of-way for the purposes of inhibiting through traffic from future development south of the existing street right- of-way. The existing roadway averages 26-28 feet in width, and the surface may be characterized as a sand/gravel surface. As is,the roadway selves the adjacent residential area in a satisfactory manner. It is logical to assume future development to the south will occur as a part of a city annexation. I discussed the options available through the development process with the City of Greeley Public Works Department officials and learned that a connection to Bluebell Avenue would be probable. It was clear during my conversations that improvements to Bluebell Avenue could be requested but not required of a future development. It appears apparent that roadway improvements resulting from additional traffic could ultimately become the County's responsibility. Increasing the traffic load on this roadway would change the classification of the road from local residential to a collector. The road cannot functionally or structurally sustain a higher classification. Because of through traffic, the character of the"community" will substantially change if Bluebell Avenue is connected to other traffic generators. pc: Kim Schuett, Clerk to the Board Bluebell Avenue file Johnstown and Etherton's subdivision files City of Greeley file RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE RESPONSE MAY 1 6 2000 DEPARTMENT OF�L L ait71�6O WELD COUNTv PUBLIC WORKS DEN T * * * PLEASE RESPOND WITHIN THREE DAYS.* * IF RESPONSE WILL BE DELAYED, PLEASE NOTIFY "CTB GROUP" BY E-MAIL OF EXPECTED DATE FOR RESPONSE. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Narrative: METHOD OF RESPONSE: xBoard Action Work Session Letter (Attached) Telephone Call No Response (explain) Department Head Signature M:\CAROL\OP MAN\RD COM P2 We the undersigned landowners on Bluebell Ave. request that Bluebell Ave. be designated a dead end road because of the possibility of eventual annexation around us and to help preserve our wonderful rural setting and closeness of our neighborhood. We feel strongly that it would be appropriate to dead end or abandon the easement on the south end of Bluebell Ave. We know of a similiar case invdlving the Johnson Subdivision and are encouraged by the County Commissioners decision on that property. As far as traffic flow is concerned, Cherry Ave. to the east and Balsam Ave. to the West of Bluebell Ave. are able to continue north to East 18th St. whereas Bluebell Ave. cannot. .

Date: November 7, 2001 Job name: Minor Re-subdivision, Vacation of Roads, Streets, and Alleys Permit # : NA Review type: Weld County Referral Case #: S-612 Planner: Voneen Macklin Reviewed by: Duane McDonald Comments: The Fire Authority does not support this proposal. Currently the homes on Bluebell are served by only one access point. The vacation of the road would prevent a bad situation from ever being corrected with continuance of the street. This vacation could possibly impair fire access to the homes located on Lot I and Lot 2. Any building of fences or structures in the vacated property would require installation of residential sprinkler systems in the homes located on Lot 1 and Lot 2. This most likely would never be known to the Fire Authority until it responded and access was blocked. Development to the south is driving this request and does present issues to the current road surface and design. These issues can be worked through without impeding emergency access and eliminating any chance of a secondary means of emergency access. 6 Weld County Planning Dept. f Iti, avollSiP i.TAL 0 '6 zr,.:h re RECEIVED Weld County Referral VIII cI October 31 , 2001 COLORADO The Weld County Department of Planning Services has received the following item for review: Applicant Mike Geile Case Number S-612 C Please Reply By November 16, 2001 Planner Voneen Macklin I Project Minor Re-subdivision, Vacation of Roads, Streets, and Alleys k Legal Part of the NE4 of Section 16, T5N, R65W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, R Colorado. 1 Location South of 20' Street and west of Cherry Avenue I Parcel Number 0961 16 102009 G The application is submitted to you for review and recommendation.

According to the Weld County Code Section 24-5-20 Subsection A-D the vacation is warranted. Section 24-5-20 A- states that the ROW shown on an approved plat has not been used as its intended purpose for twenty-one years since the recording. This plat was recorded in Section 24-5-20.B - 70% of the landowners adjacent to the proposed ROW vacation waive any objection to the vacation by signing a petition. The initial contact was from the surrounding citizens to begin the process. This case will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissions for a hearing at a later date. Section 24-5-20.C - The vacation shall only be permitted when it is compatible with the surrounding area and uses, is consistent with efficient and orderly development, is consistent wit Chapter 22 of this Code and does not deprive any parcel of adequate access to a public road or street ROW. This vacation of ROW will not eliminate any access viability from Bluebell. It will however eliminate future road connectivity with development within the City of Greeley. Section 24-5-20.D - The vacation of ROW may require the reservation of an easement for public utility or drainage purposes in order to meet the easement requirements of Section 24-7- 60. This will need to be done as there is a 15 foot utility easement on all sides of the lots, there is also an existing 5 foot irrigation easement on the west side of the labeled Lot 1. Section 24-5-20 E (1-6) The application was complete and contained all the written material needed. DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES liD PHONE (970)353-6100, EXT.3540 FAX (970) 351-0978 C.

The City was originally sent information on October 31, 2001 and had 1 week to review the request. Of the departments which reviewed the proposal when originally submitted in October, four had serious concerns about the proposal: 1. Union Colony Fire and Rescue Authority indicated the Fire Authority does not support the proposal. Currently the homes on Bluebell are served by only one access point. The vacation of the road would prevent a bad situation from ever being corrected with continuance of the street. This vacation could possibly impair fire access to the homes located on Lot 1 and Lot 2. Any building of fences or structures in the vacated property would required installation of residential sprinkler systems in the homes located on Lot 1 and Lot 2. This most likely would never be known to the Fire Authority until it responded and access was blocked. Development to the south is driving this request and does present issues to the current road surface and design. These issues can be worked through without impeding emergency access and eliminating any chance of a secondary means of emergency access. 2. Public Works indicated this connection should continue south to allow more direct access and would attract little pass through traffic and be a local road. They noted Bluebell Avenue is approximately 1/4 mile (1,320 feet), which is considerably in excess of the City's maximum length for cul-de-sacs (500'). They further noted that it is not likely Bluebell would ever become a collector street. Finally,the Public Works Department is against the vacation of existing Bluebell Avenue. The option to extend and connect the street to some future development to the south should be kept.

Water and Sewer noted there is an existing public water line in Bluebell Avenue's right-of-way that services residents along Bluebell Avenue and also ties into a water line from Balsam Village 2"d Filing (west of the site) and is stubbed out to provide for development to the south. By allowing Bluebell Avenue to be vacated as proposed would prevent the City of Greeley Water and Sewer Department access to this line for maintenance. In addition, vacating the right-of- way as proposed may prevent a public sanitary sewer line from being constructed in the future to serve this area without going to great expense and time to obtain easements. 4. Planning indicated the proposal does not comply with the City of Greeley Comprehensive Plan, including policy TR1.6 - Promote street design configurations which foster interconnectivity between subdivisions...in order to move all modes of traffic in more direct routes and limit extraneous travel on collector and arterial streets. Planning also noted the Subdivision Regulations state no dead-end streets shall be permitted except in cases where such streets are designed to connect with future streets on adjacent land... With this information, the Planning Commission met on November 7, 2001, reviewed the proposal, and expressed concern about the proposed vacation and recommended denial unless a mutually agreeable conclusion can be reached by the City, County and neighbors. Planning Commission further suggested the City and County spearhead an East Greeley Neighborhood Study to determine what the best course of action is, not only for this property, but for other similarly affected areas in the vicinity. Does this street vacation make sense for the entire area? At the City's request, a neighborhood meeting was held on November 8, 2001 which was attended by the City, County and 11 or so concerned neighbors. At that meeting, several issues were discussed, including the comments listed above and a course of action which would address the concerns expressed by the Water Department and Fire Department. It was determined the plat would need to be changed, and the Board meeting for December 5, 2001 would need to be continued so the plat could be changed. I called the County Public Works Director and provided him with names and phone numbers of City staff in the Water and Fire Departments so he could contact them and make changes to the plat which would address their concerns. City staff waited for the revised plat. Finally, two weeks before the rescheduled Board meeting, a plat was delivered to the City. Unfortunately, none of the issues brought up by the Water and Fire Departments three months before had been adequately addressed. By waiting until the last minute again, an acrimonious situation has been created by the County Public Works Department where one does not need to exist. Providing further confusion is a Weld County Referral form provided to the City and dated January 30 which indicates, "Please reply by February 20, 2002." Unfortunately, this date is 2 weeks after the Board meeting! Page 3 Board of County Commissioners February 6, 2002 Still more confusion is provided by the proposed vacation in relation to a Resolution unanimously adopted by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 1999, which provided, "Consent to the enforcement by the Western Hills Fire Protection District of the 1997 Uniform Fire Code and Standards, with amendments, within the District's unincorporated portions of Weld County." The requirements put forth by the Fire Department are fully in compliance with the Fire Code and are required because of the proposed vacation. Without the vacation, an adequate turnaround and three fire hydrants would not be required. The bottom line from the City's perspective includes: 1. Fire - Provide an adequate turnaround. Provide three fire hydrants - one at the end of the street, one at the middle, and one at 20`h Street. 2. Public Works - Suggests leaving the street open. 3. Water and Sewer - Provide a 30' wide exclusive water and sewer easement at the site of a proposed 30' utility easement. 4. Planning - Suggest leaving the street open. This issue could have been handled much more smoothly. As proposed, the City is strongly against the vacation. The City of Greeley, including the Planning Commission, Fire Department, Public Works Department, Water and Sewer Department and Planning Department recommends against the proposed vacation of the southern 132' of Bluebell Avenue.

Hempen, Jr., P.E. Director of Public Works/County Engineer c �/ SUBJECT: Request to Vacate a Portion of Bluebell Avenue L,/ , COLORADO Attached is a petition for the vacation of Bluebell Avenue (a.k.a. Bell Avenue). I request this petition be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a recommendation for approval. It is my understanding the request is to vacate the southerly 25-50 feet of the road right-of-way for the purposes of inhibiting through traffic from future development south of the existing street right- of-way. The existing roadway averages 26-28 feet in width, and the surface may be characterized as a sand/gravel surface. As is,the roadway serves the adjacent residential area in a satisfactory manner. It is logical to assume future development to the south will occur as a part of a city annexation. I discussed the options available through the development process with the City of Greeley Public Works Department officials and learned that a connection to Bluebell Avenue would be probable. It was clear during my conversations that improvements to Bluebell Avenue could be requested but. not required of a future development. It appears apparent that roadway improvements resulting from additional traffic could ultimately become the County's responsibility. Increasing the traffic load on this roadway would change the classification of the road from local residential to a collector. The road cannot functionally or structurally sustain a higher classification. Because of through traffic, the character of the "community" will substantially change if Bluebell Avenue is connected to other traffic generators. pc: Kim Schuett, Clerk to the Board Bluebell Avenue file Johnstown and Etherton's subdivision files City of Greeley file February 15, 2002 Weld County Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Vacation of Right-of-Way, Bluebell Ave. Greeley, CO. To Whom It May Concern: We live at 2125 Bluebell Ave. Greeley, Co in Weld County. You have been presented with a Vacation of Right-of-Way application for the southern end of Bluebell Ave. We are in support of this vacation. We have lived here for a little over one year and found this a unique community in Weld County. Currently Bluebell Ave is a dead end street running north-south located south of 20th Street in east Greeley. This street and subdivision are within Weld County. The lots within this subdivision are about ' of an acre up to about 5 acre lots. Several people with in the subdivision have horses and other such animals. Bluebell is a dirt road but well maintained. The area around this community is growing very quickly. We would like to keep our unique community nestled in the newly expanding growth of Greeley and Weld County. To help preserve this, we would request approval of the vacation of right-of-way to inhibit connectivity to more densely populated neighborhoods. Thank you for your time and cooperation. Tony and Vermeda Evans. [ g. EXHIBIT S#iota Dear Commissioners: We moved to Bluebell in August of 2000. We had looked for property around the Greeley area. We happened to come to the block garage sale and fell in love with the unique area. We enjoy the quiet country atmosphererthe dirt road, and being off a dead end street. We have two horses that we enjoy riding on the gravel road. We hope you will agree and let us keep this little bit of country life that we have fallen in love with.

Families are attracted to Bluebell Avenue and purposely purchase the property here because - the semi-rural environment provides a quiet atmosphere, although the bordering development by the City with high density affordable housing is altering that immensely - it provides a somewhat secluded neighborhood with the dead-end dirt road - a dead-end road prevents a high traffic pattern thus enabling such activities as riding our horses on the road, interactive neighborhood play, cross country skiing with our kids, etc. - it provides a very safe location to raise our families - it provides a quality of life that is getting increasingly difficult to find in an ever-expanding community The value and maintaining of our properties is of great concern in that - the aesthetic value of the small acreages will decrease as owners see the opportunity of maintaining these properties and their attractions diminish - the impact of opening the road would change a much sought after way of life thus putting at risk potential sales in the future and the devaluation of these properties - bringing the irrigation water to our properties will present a challenge none of us have experienced before with a potential high traffic pattern and increased visitation to our neighborhood if the road is open There is more than sufficient access for connectivity to the surrounding community: - Birch Avenue, 442 feet from Bluebell Avenue, is already paved and stubbed in for future development south of the new Balsam Village II Subdivision just west of us - 1st Ave (.50 mile to Balsam Ave), Balsam Ave (.25 mile to Birch Ave), Birch Ave. (.35 mile to Cherry Ave), and Cherry Avenue (.40 mile to Hwy. 34) will provide full access running north and south - E. 20th, E. 22nd, and E. 24th Streets provide access running east and west - the new elementary school, which will be located on E. 20th Street, will not only have that access but will also benefit from Cherry Avenue to the west and Hwy. 34 to the east The granting of the petition to vacate the south end of Bluebell Avenue will enable our neighborhood to maintain that which has been established for more than 50 years.

During this time, we have raised two daughters and two sons, all of whom graduated from Greeley Central High School. The environment provided by the nature of our neighborhood has had a positive influence on the raising of our family and the values they adhere to. In recent years we have seen many changes in our neighborhood, several of which are not compatible with our rural setting and has given us much reason for concern . Listed below are several of our concerns and we thank you in advance for taking the time to consider and understand our feelings: - The character of all recently approved developments is a major departure from that of the existing semi-rural atmosphere - The traffic increase that would result in opening the dead-end road would have a profound and dramatically negative impact on the nature of the neighborhood - The financial burden that might be imposed for necessary up-grades would be devastating to many of the residents Again, we would like to thank you for taking the time to consider our concerns.

We discovered that place at the end of Bluebell Avenue , a dirt road two blocks long with nice homes and the only traffic was residents and their friends and families . We were aware that the east side of Greeley with its high-density , low income housing oh First-Avenue and east was not the most desirable part of town. . . but here in the midst of all that was this tiny rural neighborhood that had what we were looking for. . . a nice brick home, a chicken house, plenty of garden space , irrigation water and a large workshop and we hope to live out our lives right here. We sincerely hope that you will approve our petition to vacate the property at the south end of Bluebell Avenue which will help Bluebell Avenue residents maintain the rural integrity of this tiny neighborhood, and with any luck at all , the city will for- get that Bluebell Avenue and the residents who live here even exist.

Greeley February 20, 2002 Weld County Board of County Commissioners 915 10"' Street Greeley, CO 80631 Subject: Bluebell Avenue Vacation(S-612) Dear Commissioners: The City of Greeley appreciates the efforts of the County Public Works Department, as well as the residents of Bluebell Avenue, who sat down with the City and tried to find a solution that would work for all for the proposed street vacation of Bluebell Avenue. Unfortunately, such a solution was not found. The City of Greeley is still concerned about the proposal to close off the southern end of the street. The residents who have initiated the request have indicated the required costs for the installation of water lines and fire hydrants to serve this area are cost prohibitive. Therefore, the easy answer is to deny the requested street vacation. As background, please refer to my letter of February 6, 2002 to the Board of Commissioners and which I'll summarize here. The City Planning Commission, Fire Department, Public Works Department and Planning Department have all recommended against the proposed vacation. Concerns raised include poor connectivity from this neighborhood to other neighborhoods which may develop in the vicinity, as well as to the proposed elementary school east of this site. The Greeley Planning Commission has even suggested an East Greeley master plan jointly pursued by the County and City to address potential impacts of development to areas such as Bluebell or the impacts of proposed street vacations. Unfortunately, the biggest issue at this point seems to be cost. The existing fire protection for this area is less than required by the current Fire Code. If the street was not proposed to be vacated, the Fire Department would not require this area to be brought up to Code. However, the vacation of the street ensures this area would not be compliant with the Fire Code. The vacation would be a trigger event to allow the Fire Department to require compliance with the Fire Code which has been ratified by the Board of County Commissioners. Two issues remain to be decided; one - should the street be vacated at this time. If no, an upgrade to the fire protection in the area is not required. If yes, an upgrade in fire protection is required. If yes, then who will create the special improvement district to fund the improvements,the County or the Fire Authority? The City suggests the County create the SID, since it is a direct result of a street vacation. The neighbors who have requested the vacation have already stated the costs involved in the vacation SERVING OUR / COMMUNITY • IT ' S ( A TRADITION 71 e proms e to pz eserve anr///aproue lie Yz/O//ly o/Ile for ()reeky t//roar/// timely, courteous ano cos/Pl/ec Live sei vi re page 2 Board of County Commissioners February 20, 2002 are prohibitive. They want the vacation to occur without paying for the associated costs. The City is not able to foot the bill for this vacation and I don't anticipate the County is either. The people who have requested the vacation and would benefit from the vacation should pay for it, but they aren't willing to do so. The easy answer is to deny the proposed street vacation for Bluebell Avenue. Bluebell stubs into a parcel of land which is not annexed to the City and has no current development plans proposed. I would suggest continued discussions between the City, County and residents of east Greeley to address issues associated not only with Bluebell, but potential development of this area as a whole.

Date: February 7, 2002 Job name: Minor Re-subdivision, Vacation of Roads, Streets, and Alleys Permit# : NA Review type: Weld County Referral Case#: S-612 Planner: Voneen Macklin Reviewed by: Duane McDonald Comments: 1. The Fire Authority does not support this proposal. 2. Vacation of this street will require that the subdivision be brought into compliance with the 1997 Uniform Fire Code which has been adopted by the Western Hills Fire Protection District and ratified by Resolution by the Weld County Board of Commissioners. This would require an approved fire apparatus turn around, and installation of fire hydrants spaced every 400 feet supplied with sufficient water to provide fire flow as required by the Uniform Fire Code. 3. Currently the homes on Bluebell are served by only one access point. The vacation of the road would prevent a bad situation from ever being corrected with continuance of the street. This vacation could possibly impair fire access to the homes located on Lot 1 and Lot 2. Any building of fences or structures in the vacated property would require installation of residential sprinkler systems in the homes located on Lot 1 and Lot 1 This most likely would never be known to the Fire Authority until it responded and access was blocked_ 1 EXHIBIT .7 ' S .

A compromise has been reached! The neighbors have agreed to install two fire hydrants. One at the south end of Bluebell Avenue, and one at the entrance to Bluebell Avenue, on the north side of 20t1, Street. Vacating the street and placing two hydrants is not the best situation for the City. Ideally, the street would continue to stub into the property south of the site and afford an access alternative for future development of that parcel. Ideally, the Fire Department would have a total of three hydrants along this stretch of road. However, the City recognizes the southern portion of Bluebell is likely to be vacated, and sought ways to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, which has been achieved. Therefore,the City respectfully requests the County condition the vacation of the southern 132 feet of Bluebell on the addition of two fire hydrants, one at the southern end of Bluebell and one on the north side of 20th Street at the entrance to Bluebell, and that the neighbors pay for the cost to install the two hydrants.
