Zone District to the PUD(Planned Unit Development)Zone District for nine(9)lots with E(Estate)
Zone uses. At said hearing it was determined that the applicant had misunderstood the starting time

Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Chair Jerke advised the applicant's
representative, Timothy Halopoff, JR Engineering, LLC, that he has the option of continuing the
matter to a date when the full board will be present. However,if he decides to proceed today,it will
require three affirmative votes, or in the case of a tie vote, Commissioner Masden will listen to the
record and make the determining vote. Mr. Halopoff indicated he would like to proceed today.
Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning Services, presented a brief summary of the proposal,
entered the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written,and
gave a brief description of the location of the site and surrounding land uses. She stated fourteen
referral agencies reviewed this proposal, and eleven responded favorably or provided comments

minimum lot size is three acres. She stated the overall density will be one septic system per 3.9
acres, which is within the Department's policy regarding density. She stated the septic systems
will be conventional; therefore, no septic envelopes are required.
Peter Schei, Department of Public Works, stated the property fronts Weld County Road 15,which
is a paved road,and maintained by the County. He stated the property will be accessed from Weld
County Road 15, and the internal access road will be paved. He further stated the property is also
adjacent to Weld County Road 86;however,Weld County Road 86 is not maintained by the County.
Mr. Schei stated the applicant will dedicate 30 feet of right-of-way along Weld County Road 86 on
the Change of Zone plat. In response to ChairJerke, Mr.Schei stated the internal access road will
be accepted for maintenance by the County upon completion of the one-year warranty period.
Mr. Halopoff stated the flow of drainage on the property is from east to west, towards the Weld
County Road 15. He stated the drainage patterns will not be affected,since there will be no building
envelopes on the property,nor grading of the road. He stated the subdivision will consist of nine lots
with estate homes,and landscaping and fencing will be provided at the frontage of the property. He
further stated the Homeowners'Association will provide guidelines similar to other subdivisions with
E(Estate)Zone uses. In response to Commissioner Geile,Mr. Halpoff stated the minimum square
footage for the homes will be 2,500 feet. He further stated houses will be built by a conventional
method,and pre-fabricated homes and certain metal sidings will not be allowed. Further responding
to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Halopoff stated the homes will range in price from $500,000.00 to
$800,000.00. He stated the required open space will be maintained by the Homeowners'
Association, and will include a retention pond in Tract A. He further stated open space will also be
provided in Tracts B and C, along Weld County Road 15. Mr. Halopoff stated the property to the
east has been dedicated as open space though a family Estate. In response to Commissioner
Geile,Mr. Halopoff stated the property to the east is a separate property,and not a part of the PUD.
Further responding to Commissioner Geile, Ms. Lockman stated this subdivision will be the first in
the area,therefore,the applicant is not required to designate fifteen percent of the property as open
space. In response to Commissioner Vaad,Mr. Halopoff stated the drainage on the property flows
to the west, and then south, and he is not aware of any issues regarding drainage for residential
use. He further stated the property is elevated on a hill. In response to Chair Jerke, Ms. Lockman
stated the property is located two miles north of State Highway 14. In response to Chair Jerke,
Mr. Halpoff believes the land behind the property, to the east, was dedicated to be left as open
space. Chair Jerke cautioned Mr. Halopoff to verify the conditions of the adjacent property to
properly inform future homeowners.
No public testimony was offered concerning this matter.
Ms. Lockman stated staff recommends Administrative Review of the Final Plan. Chair Jerke stated
he does not believe further Board review is necessary. Chair Jerke clarified that deletion of
Conditions of Approval 1.A and 5.B is requested, and the Board indicated agreement with the
request. In response to Chair Jerke,Ms. Lockman stated the interior road will be named Sage Hill
Road. In response to Commissioner Long, Ms. Lockman stated four agencies review names for
interior roads, to ensure names are not duplicated. She further stated the applicant is required to
submit an address sheet as a part of the application. In response to Chair Jerke, the Board
