ARTICLE XI. DRAINAGE Section 1: Acknowledgement. The soils within the state of Colorado consist of both expansive soils and low-density soils which will adversely affect the integrity of the 24 Residence if the Residence and the Lot on which it is constructed are not properly maintained. Expansive soils contain clay minerals which have the characteristic of changing volume with the addition or subtraction of moisture, thereby resulting in swelling and/or shrinking soils. The addition of moisture to low-density soils causes a realignment of soil grains, thereby resulting in consolidation and/or collapse of the soils. All Residences shall have engineered footings and foundations. Section 2: Moisture. Each Owner of a Lot shall use his or her best efforts to assure that the moisture content of those soils supporting the foundation and the concrete slabs forming a part of the Residence constructed thereon remain stable and shall not introduce excessive water into the soils surrounding the Residence. Section 3: Water Flow. The Owner of a Lot shall not impede or hinder in any way the water falling on the Lot from reaching the drainage courses established for the Lot and the Common Interest Community. Section 4: Action by Owner. To accomplish the foregoing, each Owner of a Lot covenants and agrees, among other things: (a) Not to install improvements, including, but not limited to, landscaping, items related to landscaping, walls, walks, driveways, parking pads, patios, fences, additions to the Residence, outbuildings, or any other item or improvement which will change the grading of the Lot. The installation of such improvements is acceptable so long as the manner of installation is consistent with, and does not change, the grading and drainage patterns of the Lot. (b) To fill with additional soil any back-filled areas adjacent to the foundation of the Residence and in or about the utility trenches on the Lot in which settling occurs to the extent necessary from time to time to maintain the grading and drainage patterns of the Lot. (c) Not to water the lawn or other landscaping on the Lot excessively. (d) Not to plant flower beds (especially annuals) and vegetable gardens adjacent to or within three (3) feet of the foundation and slabs of the Residence. 25 (e) If evergreen shrubbery and grass is used within five (5) feet of the foundation walls, to water the shrubbery and grass by controlled hand watering and to avoid excessive watering. (0 To minimize or eliminate the installation of piping and heads for sprinkler systems within five (5) feet of foundation walls and slabs. (g) To install any gravel beds in a manner which will assure that water will not pond in the gravel areas, whether due to nonperforated edging or due to installation of the base of the gravel bed at a lever lower than the adjacent lawn. (h) To maintain the gutters and downspouts which discharge water into extensions or splash blocks by assuring that(i) the gutters and downspouts remain free and clear of all obstructions and debris; (ii) the water that flows from the extension or the splash block is allowed to flow rapidly away from the foundation and/or slabs; and (iii) the splash blocks are maintained under sill cocks. (i) To recaulk construction joints opening up between portions of the exterior slabs and garage slabs in order to thereby seal out moisture. Section 5: Disclaimer. The Declarant shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the Residence, any outbuilding, concrete slab, driveway, sidewalk, or other improvement on any Lot caused by, resulting from, or in any way connected with soil conditions on any Lot. ARTICLE XII. SURROUNDING AGRICULTURAL USES AND WILDLIFE Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States, ranking fifth in total market value of agricultural products sold. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize and accept there are drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Along with the drawbacks come the incentives which attract urban dwellers to relocate to rural area: open views, spaciousness, wildlife, lack of city noise and congestion, and the rural atmosphere and way of life. Without neighboring fauns, those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would quickly be gone forever. 26 Agricultural users of the land may be uses by right and may be entitled to expand their operations. Agricultural uses should not be expected to change theft long-established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well run agricultural activities will general off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; slow-moving farm vehicles on rural roads; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest, and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage, and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; and the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. Ditches and reservoirs cannot simply be moved out of the way of residential development without threatening the efficient delivery of irrigation to fields which is essential to farm production. Section 35-3.5-102, C.R.S., provides that an agricultural operation shall not be found to be a public or private nuisance if the agricultural operation alleged to be a nuisance employs methods or practices that are commonly or reasonably associated with agricultural production. Weld County covers a land area of over 4,000 square miles in size (twice the State of Delaware) with more than 3,700 miles of state and county roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of Weld County and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterioles may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Snow removal for roads within subdivisions are of the lowest priority for public works or may be the private responsibility of the homeowners. Service in rural area, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must, by necessity, be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers. Children are exposed to different hazards in Weld County than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs, and livestock present real threats to children. Controlling children's activities are important, not only for their safety, but also for their protection of the farmer's livelihood. Parents are responsible for their children. 27 ARTICLE XIII.

(d) The failure of a Mortgagee or Insurer to object in writing to any proposed addition or amendment within thirty (30) days after notice is given by the Association requesting approval of an addition or amendment to the Declaration shall conclusively constitute approval by the Mortgagee or Insurer of the addition or amendment.

COLORADO MEMORANDUM TO: Chris Gathman, W.C. Planning DATE: April 28, 2003 FROM: Pam Smith, W.C. Health Department CASE NO.: PF-1037 NAME: Stark Farm LLC The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. The applicant proposes a 38 residential lot PUD on 162.5 acres. However, on the plat maps submitted with the Final Approval the 66 acres south of the concrete ditch (labeled Outlot A and designated for future development during the Change of Zone application) have been eliminated. Excluding the southern 66 acres (previously know as Outlot A) the overall density of the development is one septic system per 2.52 acres. Several other discrepancies are noted for comment: 1.The Final Plat outlines the property only on the north side of a concrete irrigation ditch, with an Outlot A labeled in the northeast corner of the property. Page 8 of 15 of the Construction Plans designates this Outlot A as a pond. 2.Lot 38 is less that one acre in size. This was an issue during the Change of Zone review for this same lot, as well as others. The lot size was increased and noted in the October 2, 2001 Change of Zone comments. However, this lot is now smaller that 1 acre again. 3.Lots 33 and 34 indicate that the whole lot is a building envelope. 4.There are no septic system envelopes designated any lot of the Final Plat. Septic envelopes are designated on the Overall Utility Plan of the Construction Plans. Septic system envelopes were designated on the proposed Change of Zone Plat submitted to this office May 29, 2001. 5.The trail system is not designated on the Final Plat. 6.There are no notes on the Final Plat 7.The three irrigation wells and all ditches which will be remaining should be clearly labeled on the Final Plat. Since the Change of Zone Resolution was approved the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment has received a dust complaint. It has been determined by Phil Brewer of this Department that the applicant is in violation of conditions 9, 10, and 11 of the approved Resolution. To date the applicant has not demonstrated to this Department that the required Fugitive Dust Control Plan and Air Pollution Emission Notice has been filed or received from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 1 Cnris Gathman - pf1037.rtf Page 2 I The Department recommended for approval of this application with the following conditions during the Change of Zone review. These conditions are reiterated below: 1. Water service shall be obtained from the North Weld County Water District. 2. A Weld County Septic Permit is required for each proposed septic system and shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations. Each septic system shall be designed for site-specific conditions, including but not limited to maximum seasonal high groundwater, poor soils, and shallow bedrock. 3. Language for the preservation and/or protection of the second absorption field envelope shall be placed in the development covenants. The covenants shall state that activities such as landscaping (i.e. planting of trees and shrubs) and construction (i.e. auxiliary structures, dirt mounds, etc.) are expressly prohibited in the designated absorption field site. 4. The applicant shall obtain a storm water discharge permit from the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment, if required. Silt fences shall be maintained on the down gradient portion of the site during all parts of the construction phase of the project. 5. During development of the site, all land disturbance shall be conducted so that nuisance conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions, at the request of the Weld County Health Department, a fugitive dust control plan must be submitted. 6. In accordance with the Regulations of the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission any development that disturbs more than 5 acres of land must incorporate all available and practical methods which are technologically feasible and economically reasonable in order to minimize dust emissions. 7. If land development creates more than a 25 acre contiguous disturbance, or exceeds 6 months in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a fugitive dust control plan, submit an air pollution emissions notice, and apply for a permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. 8. "Weld County's Right to Farm" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County Code shall be placed on any recorded plat.

Comments ❑ The CR 37 existing 30-foot right-of-way shall be verified by the applicant and the documents creating the right-of-way noted on the final plat. If the right-of-way cannot be verified, it will be dedicated on the final plat. The 30-foot right-of-way shall be shown and dimensioned on the final plat. CR 37 is a paved local roadway. ❑ The CR 84 existing 30-foot right-of-way shall be verified by the applicant and the documents creating the right-of-way noted on the final plat.

"This project will significantly increase the traffic on WCR 37. WCR 37 presently is paved, but does not have adequate shoulders. The developer is proposing to add 4-foot shoulders to WCR 37 to mitigate the traffic impacts of this project. This proposal is acceptable to Public Works." The applicant is showing only a west 4-foot shoulder on the Construction Plans, which is not acceptable to Public Works.

SUBJECT: Stark Farm PUD Case number PF-1037 Mikal Torgerson, applicant The Department of Planning Services has reviewed the Landscape Plat for Stark Farm PUD and offers the following comments. An Improvements Agreement for Private Road Maintenance was not received in the referral packet. Per the application materials, the applicant is proposing thirty-eight, one plus acre residential lots and approximately thirty acres of common open space to maintained by the Home Owners Association. Existing Improvements consist of concrete lined irrigation ditches and three irrigation wells. The applicant's engineer shall prepare the Final Landscape Plan per the requirements of Section 23-2-690. The Vicinity Map shall be delineated at a scale of 1"=2000 feet and the Site Plan shall be delineated at a scale of 1"=100 of 1"=200 feet, an exception will be made to have the Landscape Plan drawn to a scale of 1"=50 feet. The Landscape Plan shall be developed in accordance with Section 27-9-30 of the Weld County Code. Further, the plan shall address Section 27-6-60.A; Section 27-6-60.B.2, fences, walls and berms; Section 27-6-60.B.3 maintenance; Section 27-6-60.B.4 Improvements Agreement. On-site landscape treatment consists of a deciduous trees and low growing shrub material fronting Weld County Road 37. The planting would be termed irregular and linear, with large gaps between plants. The drainage detention pond adjacent to Weld county Road 84 and Weld County Road 37 encompasses a majority of the open space north-northeast of the site. The Department of Public Works should review the proposed Drainage and Erosion Control Plan for the development for compliance with the existing Stormwater Management Plan, at a minimum. Although a berm has been delineated on the plat, north of Jade Drive at the entrance to the development, there is not an indication as to how the berm will be stabilized to prevent wind and water erosion. Future submittals shall provide a detailed description of how this issue will be addressed. The application drawing package did not delineate the monument sign as described in the application materials. Future submittals shall provide a detailed Landscape Plan for the entry, including the design of the monument sign for the proposed development. Per the application materials, the open space areas currently consist of agricultural products, weeds and grasses. Should the weeds be determined to be noxious, the applicant shall contact Ron Broda of the Department of Public Works to develop a weed management plan. Evidence of such plan or evidence of compliance with the weed control Ordinance shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services.
