their concern pertaining to the soils and bedrock, groundwater, oil and gas
operations,flood plain, drainage, and slope stability in the area. Due to the depth
of groundwater, specific site investigation shall address the potential need for an
area drain underneath all foundations and for all major utilities.
Response: The applicant has provided, with the Change of Zone submittal, a
detailed supplemental geotechnical investigation to the preliminary geotechnical
investigation submitted with the Sketch Plan. Attached as a part of this summary
is a letter stating how the new information addresses the concems of Colorado
Geological Survey. The applicant is submitting the supplemental geotechnical
investigation with the Change of Zone application to the Colorado Geological
Survey for a second review, as requested by the Department of Planning Services,
to ensure all concerns have been addressed.
2. Comment: The applicant shall include in future applications a copy of an
agreement with the properties mineral owners stipulating that the oil and gas
activities have adequately been incorporated into the design of the site or show
evidence that an adequate attempt has been made to mitigate their concerns.
Additionally, this agreement shall address the use of oil and gas setback areas.
County regulations do not prohibit the use of oil and gas setbacks areas for open
space uses, however uses such as a roller hockey rink and parking lot may be
considered more intense permanent uses.
Response: The applicant has provided, with the Change of Zone submittal, a
letter of agreement with Kerr McGee stating their understanding and acceptance
of the development intent. Furthermore, Kerr McGee has verified that a 200'
setback from all well operations is required to any recreational amenities and/or

residential lot lines from the well operations setback areas.
3. Comment: The applicant shall address the County Road Impact Fee Program
(Ordinance 2002-11) and adhere to the fee structure, or any adopted fee structure

Response: Refer to the attached Letter of Understanding from the Weld County
Public Works (Exhibit K) regarding on-site and off-site roadway improvements.
4. Comment: The applicant shall submit written evidence that indicates the
Colorado Division of Wildlife's concerns have been addressed, including their
concern pertaining to the Liberty Gulch area.
Response: The Colorado Division of Wildlife stated in their referral letter that,
"The parcel is currently agricultural and cannot be considered as critical habitat
for any wildlife species." CDOW concerns of mitigating noxious weeds will be
addressed during the construction phase when the entire site will be graded and
properly re-established with appropriate landscape materials. The HOA will be
provided with a noxious weed mitigation plan for long-term care of the
development. The recommendation by CDOW to re-vegetate the Liberty Gulch
area has been addressed as shown in the Preliminary Site Improvement plans.
5. Comment: The applicant shall submit written evidence that indicates the Weld
County Department of Public Health and Environment concerns have been
.-. addressed, including lack of letters from St. Vrain Sanitation District and Longs
Peak Water District indicating intent to provide services.
Response: The applicant has provided, with the Change of Zone submittal, a
signed Residential Subdivision Service Agreement with the St. Vrain Sanitation
District and a signed Subdivision Service Agreement for Adler Estates with
Longs Peak Water District.
6. Comment: The applicant shall submit written evidence that indicates the City of
Longmont, Department of Community Development's concerns have been
addressed, including compliance with the Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan.
Response: The City of Longmont, Department of Community Development
requested that the applicant address the following concerns relating to guidelines
of the Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan;
• Strategy E-2.1(b) Cooperate with other jurisdictions to develop programs
for preserving areas of environmental significance, such as stream
corridors, scenic views and highways, wildlife habitat, and wetlands.
The Preliminary Site Improvement Plans show native re-vegetation along the
open space areas adjacent to Liberty Gulch to preserve the environmental
characteristics of the corridor. The open space areas along the Liberty Gulch
corridor maintain development setbacks that range from 100 feet to 500 feet.
�-. • Policy T-2.2 Maintain a traffic system that encourages the use of arterial
streets for cross-town and regional traffic, that encourages the use of
primary and neighborhood collector streets to channel traffic from the
neighborhoods to arterial streets, that discourages the use of local streets
for through traffic, and that provides efficient regional travel connections
to other jurisdictions and activity centers in the region.
The Preliminary Site Improvement Plans shows on-site roadway improvements
for the WC I-25 Parallel Arterial Roadway and WCR 26.5. Off-site roadway
improvements that will be addressed in the development phasing, as both a part of
this and other developments, will include connections of the WC 1-25 Parallel
Arterial Roadway to CO Hwy 119 and CO Hwy 66 and WCR 26 to WCR 5.5.
The proposed system of roadways will address the concerns of the City of
Longmont, Department of Community Development as they relate to capacity for
traffic generated by the development.
• Strategy G-1.2(c) Plan areas in advance of development so that the City
can identify the levels of service that both the City and other entities need
to provide to accommodate the development.
• Policy G-1.4 Ensure that urban level development within the St. Vrain
Valley Planning Area is directed toward the City of Longmont in
accordance with the goals and policies of the Longmont Area
Comprehensive Plan or with adopted intergovernmental agreements.
The primary concern of the City of Longmont, Department of Community
Development, as they relate to the aforementioned policies, is the development's
impact on Longmont services such as parks and recreation, library, and
neighborhood shopping. Adler Estates will provide over 70 acres of developed
parks and open space for use by its residents to include sports fields and courts,
roller hockey rink, swimming pool, playgrounds and over five miles of trails. The
Weld County Library District is planning a new branch location along the CO
Hwy 119 corridor near I-25 that will help to mitigate the impact of future
residents of the development on the Longmont Library District. New commercial
districts are forming along the CO Hwy 66 and 119 corridors in Weld County that
will serve this development in the future. Until such services are in place, the City
of Longmont will benefit from sales tax revenues from Weld County residents
that are not a burden on the City's infrastructure.
7. Comment: The Weld County Department of Building Inspection in their referral
dated September 8, 2004, stated their concerns specific to foundations and bulk
requirements. The applicant shall indicate in future applications how the
concerns of the Weld County Department of Building Inspection will be
addressed.
Response: The applicant will construct foundations as directed by the
Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation. Bulk requirements of the residential
architecture, as they relate to minimum side-yard setbacks, will provide a
minimum 5' clear zone and an additional 2 %2' zone to include any appurtenances
r-, r1
(i.e. counter forts, eaves, a/c units, etc.) providing a minimum 7 %2' building
setback from the property line. Many residential product models provide more
than the 7 %' minimum setback.
8. Comment: The Weld County Department of Public Works has several concerns
and requirements to be addressed pertaining to this application. It is highly
recommended that the applicant meet with Peter Schei, civil engineer for the
Public Works Department to discuss the options available for development, prior
to submitting Change of Zone application.
Response: The applicant has attended many meetings with the Department of
Public Works since the Sketch Plan application was submitted in order to resolve
comments mentioned in the Sketch Plan Referral Comments. At this time, it is
the understanding of the applicant that the Change of Zone application addresses
all of the Department of Public Works concerns.
9. Comment: The Plat shall be modified to maintain a consistent scale in
accordance with Section 27-9-10 of the County Code.
Response: The applicant has addressed the formatting concerns outlined by the
Department of Planning Services as shown in the Change of Zone Plat and
Preliminary Site Improvement Plans.
10. Comment: The applicant shall submit evidence that the Office of the State
Engineer, Division of Water Resources has approved the Water Supply Plan.
Response: The applicant has included material submitted to the Office of the
State Engineer, Division of Water Resources in the Change of Zone application
for review by the Weld County, Department of Public Works.
Written evidence of approval of the applicant's response to referral comments, from the
requested referral agencies, are attached to this letter. On behalf of the applicant, I would
like to thank the county for consideration of this project. Please do not hesitate to contact
me with any questions you may have.

ADLER ESTATES CHANGE OF ZONE Specific Guide
e^ Adler Estates PUD — Change of Zone Specific Guide
Introduction
Adler Estates is a low-density residential community located north of Weld County Road 26 and
south of Weld County Road 28 and on east and west sides of Weld County Road 7. The plan
provides for a mix of single-family home products. The mix of units will provide for a variety of
lifestyles and income levels.
A comprehensive network of open space including neighborhood parks, trail corridors, and
landscape buffers adjacent to road right of way will tie the neighborhoods together. Trails along
the perimeter of the project will connect with trails along internal rights of way and ultimately to
the neighborhood parks, creating a wonderful recreational amenity. Local streets will provide
pedestrian access to the parks and trail system as well.
Component One - Environmental Impacts
The following list explains how the Adler Estates PUD addresses the required list of
Environmental Impacts identified by the Weld County Department of Planning Services.
1. Noise and vibration; There are no uses within Adler Estates PUD that produce noise and
vibration levels at nuisance levels. Effects of traffic noise and vibration on homeowners
adjacent to major roadways have been mitigated with landscape setbacks with berming.
2. Smoke, dust, and odors; there are no uses within Adler Estates PUD that produce smoke,
dust, and odors at nuisance levels. All park and open space areas will be re-vegetated to
eliminate dust from exposed soils. All local, collector and arterial roadways shall be paved.
3. Heat, light, and glare; the use of residential building materials within Adler Estates does not
propose significant light and glare concerns. Parks and open space areas have ample
vegetation to provide shaded areas for residents.
4. Visual/aesthetic impacts; Adler Estates PUD is designed as a master planned community.
Themed signage and landscape will be provided at market entries and throughout the park
and open space network. Various styles and models of single-family homes will be available
throughout the community including homes with alley and front loaded garages.
5. Electrical interference; not applicable.
6. Water pollution; all residential buildings will have potable water connections. All surface
drainage exiting the site will be detained as required through the use of bio-swales before
entering offsite drainage ways.
7. Wastewater disposal; all residential buildings will have sewer connections to provide
wastewater disposal services.

8. Wetland removal; there are no existing jurisdictional wetlands on the subject property.
9. Erosion and sedimentation; erosion control measures required by the building department
shall be observed at all times during construction. All residential landscapes, parks, and
open space areas shall be landscaped with live plant material to prevent erosion.
10. Excavating, filling, and grading; the subject property will be graded in accordance with
requirements set forth by the Public Works and Building departments. Substandard soils
existing on site will be mitigated in accordance with the geotechnical investigation for the
construction of single-family home types.
11. Drilling, ditching, and dredging; well operation area setbacks identified on the Preliminary
Site Improvement Plans will accommodate future directional drilling as required by the
mineral owners.
12. Air pollution; the Adler Estates PUD allows only those uses permitted under residential
zoning districts as stated in the Weld County Code, thus excluding uses that would produce
harmful levels of air pollution.
13. Solid waste; residents of Adler Estates will be required to use a waste removal service to
pick up trash on a weekly basis.
14. Wildlife removal; the Colorado Division of Wildlife stated in their referral letter that, "The
parcel is currently agricultural and cannot be considered as critical habitat for any wildlife
species."
15. Natural vegetation removal; the parcel is currently agricultural and has no stands of native
vegetation. Any existing farmhouse site landscaping will be removed. All developed open
space areas shall be planted with native plant material.

2. Perimeter treatment; the Adler Estates PUD provides over five miles of trails in landscape
buffers that surround each phase of development. These buffer areas range from 30 feet wide
along collector roads to 50-100 feet wide along arterial roads. The use of dense evergreen
plant material and native grasses planted on 4-5 foot tall berms is used to buffer the
community from major roadway corridors. A 6-foot wood privacy fence will be used along
rear lot lines that are adjacent to major roadway corridors. Decorative concrete fence panels
may be used in place of wood privacy fencing at entry areas along the major roadway
corridors. Where residential lots back or side to park and open space areas an open rail fence
may be used.

Ditch Company to construct infrastructure for a new ditch-water irrigation system to serve
the Adler Estates PUD and other new developments in the area. A service agreement with
the Highland Ditch Company, specific to the Adler Estates PUD, has been submitted with the
Change of Zone application.
Component Four— Site Design
The following list explains how the Adler Estates PUD addresses the requirements for site design
as required by the Weld County Department of Planning Services.
1. Unique Features; the Adler Estates PUD is being proposed on existing farm land that
provides no unique features as the property has plowed on a regular basis for farming. Off of
the property to the west is Liberty Gulch, a seasonal drainage way. No portions of the Liberty
Gulch as it runs adjacent to the Adler Estates PUD is classified as a jurisdictional waters or
wetland. Surrounding properties on the east, north and west are primarily used for farming or
as maintained pasture. The property to the south is owned by Colorado State Parks.
2. Comprehensive Plan compliance; the Adler Estates PUD is within the Weld County MUD
Area which is a component of the Comprehensive Plan. This planning area provides an
opportunity for urban scale developments along the 1-25 corridor between CO Highways 119
and 66. The Adler Estates PUD proposes a development consistent with MUD Area
requirements. A future high school site for the St. Vrain Valley School District is planned
adjacent to the northeast corner of the PUD and will share symbiotic relationship with the
neighborhood.
3. PUD Zone District compatibility; the Adler Estates PUD is entirely residential and is the first
development being proposed in the immediate vicinity of the MUD Area. The MUD Area
overlay shows land surrounding the Adler Estates PUD to be developed as residential,
creating no apparent conflicts.
2/25/2005 5
ADLER ESTATES CHANGE OF ZONE Specific Guide
4. PUD Zone District compatibility with surrounding uses; the Adler Estates PUD is entirely
residential and is the first development being proposed in the immediate vicinity of the MUD
Area. The MUD Area overlay shows land surrounding the Adler Estates PUD to be
developed as residential, creating no apparent conflicts. Extensive landscape buffers surround
the Adler Estates PUD to provide adequate separation from existing agricultural uses and
future development.
5. Flood Hazard, geologic hazard, airport overlay; the Adler Estates PUD does not propose
any development in the flood plain boundary of the Liberty Gulch.
Component Five— Common Open Space Usage
The Adler Estates PUD provides 70 acres (23% of development area) of maintained parks and
open space compared to the 20% open space requirement for the MUD Area. The improvements
and landscaping shown in the Preliminary Site Improvement Plans will be financed and
constructed, but not maintained, by a metropolitan district. The applicant will be submitting a
Service Plan and requesting approval to form a Metropolitan District. The District and its Service
Plan shall conform to the new County Special District and Service Plan Policy as agreed upon
with the Weld County Attorney's Office. An HOA shall take on the responsibility for long-term
care and maintenance of all improvements.
Component Six- Signage
r
Adler Estates PUD is designed as a master planned community. Themed signage and landscape
will be provided at market entries and throughout the park and open space network. The
conceptual treatment of entry areas is shown in the Preliminary Site Improvement Plans. The
general character of the signage and entry areas incorporates classical landscape form and
geometries with classical iconography through the repeated use of the obelisk. Actual signage
lettering will be incorporated into the base of the obelisks at key entry areas.
Component Seven — MUD Impact
Adler Estates PUD is designed to the urban scale development standards for the MUD Area as
outlined in the Weld County Code. The Adler Estates PUD is entirely residential and is the first
development being proposed in the immediate vicinity of the MUD Area. The MUD Area
overlay shows land surrounding the Adler Estates PUD to be developed as residential, creating
no apparent conflicts. Extensive landscape buffers surround the Adler Estates PUD to provide
adequate separation from existing agricultural uses and future development.
Component Eight— Intergovernmental Agreement Impacts
Adler Estates PUD is not a part of any existing Weld County IGA.

3. Response: The applicant's planner, Josh Rowland with Land Architects Inc., has
contacted Pam Smith, Weld County Public Health to discuss the concerns raised
in her referral comments. In response to Public Health's comment regarding the
provision of restroom facilities at recreational areas, the applicant has agreed to
provide permanent restroom facilities at the two major community park areas in
phase two (pool and roller hockey facilities) and phase five (active recreation
fields, tot lot, and basketball court). At the request of Public Health, the applicant
has also agreed to provide a concrete pad and screen fence for a future portable
restroom facility in the phase one and phase three pocket parks. The portable
facilities shall be installed once the entire phase it is in is built out. The applicant
has indicated that the pool facility will be private and used only by members of
the HOA to address Public Health's concern regarding the classification and
associated design criteria of the pool facility.
4. Response: The applicant has provided "Exhibit B — Open Space Plan" to better
delineate the intended planting for open space areas. The general direction of the
open space design is to provide traditional irrigated bluegrass in high use areas
only and the remainder of the open space areas be planted with native plantings.
The applicant intends to create a `Water Smart' community. Measures being taken
to ensure desired results include the creation of landscape installation and
maintenance guidelines for both HOA maintained open space as well as private
residential lots. Irrigation in open space and on residential lots will be provided
via a non-potable system using water shares from the Highland Ditch.
5. Response: The applicant has provided locations for regional bus stops along
WCPAR/WCR 7 at the intersection of WCR 26.5. This intersection also provides
pedestrian crossings to connect neighborhoods to each other and to the proposed
school site and is located centrally within the community. The dual use
recreational trail/well access drive along the east edge of phase five will receive
very limited use by the well company for the purpose of getting large mobile
equipment to the well head for maintenance of the facility. As opposed to having
a trail running adjacent to a virtually unused gravel road, the applicant has opted
to have the recreational trail share the road to provide access along the east
boundary of the site. The well owner, Kerr Mc Gee, has reviewed these plans and
finds the condition acceptable.
On behalf of the applicant, I would like to thank the county for consideration of this
project. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
J.

CC: Linda Sweetman-King, Randy Havens, Melody Homes
RE: Comments on Letter of Understanding dated February 4, 2005
DATE: February 25,2005
We have reviewed your letter and have the following observations:
1. We had noted that Weld County will accept the internal roads and drainage and will
maintain those improvements.
2. We had discussed Liberty Gulch improvements and debated that WCR7 improvements
may require a modified box culvert. Weld County expressed concern that the crossing is
not safe as it is. Keith Meyer brought up discussion regarding cost sharing on some of
these improvements; Melody agreed to continued discussions on these matters.
3. Discussion of the schedule for WCR 7 improvements during the meeting was not
mentioned within the letter.
4. Melody Homes will not be able to dedicate WCR 26 right-of-way as their property does
not have frontage along WCR 26.
5. We had noted that Weld County would accept maintenance of the parallel arterial
medians after a 1 or 2 year maintenance period with the understanding that any selected
landscaping would be low maintenance. (See 3rd Bullet, 2"d page).
6. Weld County will select their preferred alignment for CR 7 between 24.5 and 26
sometime during March/April 2005.
