You may obtain a copy of the Rules and Regulations from the District. This letter outlines the provisions of the Rules and Regulations, however this letter does not change any provisions of the Rules and Regulations. The Board of the District may alter and amend the Rules and Regulations at any time, and the provisions of this letter are subject to alteration and amendment based on changes in the Rules and Regulations of the District. We currently have a 10" diameter water line located along Hwy. 60 with additional capacity available Therefore, we can commit to provide service to the above property, subject to the limitations in this letter, for one standard residential 5/8" X 3/4" water tap per lot; and the following additional limitations on the provision of water service are: 1. All improvements to District facilities required to provide service will be the financial responsibility of the developer in accordance with the District Rules and Regulations. All improvements must conform to District Specifications. 2. Little Thompson Water District requires you to transfer 1.4 shares of Colorado Big Thompson water for each lot in the commitment and then to pay for the rest of the tap fee as the water lines are put in service.

In order to provide the required flows to the subdivision you will be required to install a minimum 6" Diameter water line from the 10" line with a loop through the subdivision.

A house is currently located on proposed lot 9 (25.9 acres).Although we have not received a formal request by the county to review this additional information, in an effort to assist the county the State Engineer's Office offers the following comments. As mentioned in our previous letter dated June 1,2004, domestic water for the residential lots within the subdivision is to be supplied by the Little Thompson Water District (District). Since a concern was raised regarding the District's commitment to the subdivision, a Water Main Extension Agreement from the District was provided to this office. Based on the information from the Water Service Agreement, the District is able to serve the proposed 9 lots in the subdivision per terms and conditions of the District. A Water Supply Information Summary Form was also provided. The household use water requirements for the nine lots in the proposes subdivision are estimated at 0.76 acre-feet per year per lot or 6.84 acre-feet per year for the entire subdivision. The estimates of the water requirements appear to be high for the uses identified (household use with no explanation on outside uses). However according to the information in the Water Service Agreement the District will furnish 11.2 units of the Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) project water for the eight additional lots to be developed on the property. The 11.2 units were determined based on me District's requirement that the developer purcnase and transfer to the District 1.4 snares of C-BT water per residential lot prior to the tap activation (1.4 units per lot X 8 additional lots). The District will furnish 70% of an acre-foot of water per tap per annual water year if the allotment for me Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) project water, as determined Dy the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, is 50% or greater. The District will restrict the delivery as necessary when the C-BT allotment is less than 50%. Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's office offers the opinion, that contingent upon water service being provided by the District, the proposed water supply will not cause material injury to existing water rights and the supply is expected to be adequate, If you have any questions in this matter, please contact(Dane Comaniciu of this office. rely, o e, .E, cc: Jim Hall, Division Engineer Chief of Water Supply Water Supply Branch Subdivision File DW/IC/Garcia II PUD WATER SUPPLY INFORMATION SUMMARY Section 30-28-133,1dL C.R.S. requires that the applicant submit to the County,Adequate evidence that a water supply that is sufficient in terms of quantity, quality and dependability will be available to ensure an adequate supply of water. 1.

The service population is estimated at 20,000 people. The area of the District is 300 square miles and it is bounded by the City of Loveland to the north, Longs Peak Water District to the south, the City of Greeley, South Platte River and St. Vrain River on the east and the foothills of the Front Range to the west. The District's website address is www.ltwd.org. Water Supply LTWD obtains its water supply from the Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) Project through Carter Lake. Currently LTWD owns 9,227 C-BT units with average annual yield of 0.7 acre-foot (ac-ft) per unit and a firm (dry year) yield of 0.5 ac-ft. LTWD does own a junior water right (priority date 1984) on the Buckhom Creek for 0.22 cfs. This right was obtained from the Arkins Water District, which was dissolved and incorporated into the LTWD system. Currently, this water right is not being diverted and used by LTWD, but the District is investigating the possibility of exchanging it for C-BT water. LTWD also owns 24 shares of the Consolidated Home Supply, which yield 10.92 ac-ft/share in average years and 0 in dry years. They have 0.33 shares of Big Thompson Ditch and Manufacturing, which yield 97 ac-ft/share in average years and 56.9 in dry. These water shares are rented out to irrigators. LTWD has 2 Highland Ditch shares that yield 29.56 ac-ft/share in average years and 9.5 shares in the Supply Ditch that yield 12.67 ac-ft/share in average years. The shares in both of these Ditches are also rented out and not included in firm supply. LTWD has master meters for the City of Loveland, the Town of Berthoud, the Town of Mead, Longs Peak Water District, North Carter Lake Water District, Fort Collins-Loveland Water District and the Towns of Milliken and Johnstown. These entities transfer C-BT units to the District at a rate of 115% except Loveland, which is a two-way connection and water is traded one-to-one. Milliken and Johnstown pay cash on an emergency basis only and the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District also pays cash. These water supplies are shown in the Table below. The District requires developers to provide 1.4 shares of C-BT per residential lot for all subdivisions with three or more lots. Subdivisions and recorded exemptions of one or two lots may pay cash-in-lieu for water at the going rate for C-BT shares except when drought restrictions are in place. This policy is under review and may change to include transfers of native water. The District is also reviewing the number of acre-feet required per tap based on tap holder usage patterns.

The two treatment plants are jointly owned by LTWD and the Central Weld County Water District(CWCWD) and are operated as a separate entity known as the Carter Lake Filter Plant (CLFP). The combined capacity of the CLFP is 34 MGD after completion of a 10 MGD expansion in 2001. The native water supplies are not deliverable to the water treatment plants, so are not available for domestic use. They are used as mentioned in the Supply paragraph. The LTWD distributes and receives water from several cross-connections with other water utilities also mentioned in the previous paragraphs. Water Demand Little Thompson receives some water from the Town of Loveland and the Ft. Collins-Loveland WD in addition to water from the Carter Lake Filter Plant (CLFP). Historic water demand was provided to LTWD from CLFP annual production readings for 1990 to 2003. About 15% of the treated water is provided to the other cities or water districts they hold contracts with. Tap demands calculated by LTWD over a 10 year period from 1990 to 2000 show an average use of 0.76 ac-ft/tap and 0.56 ac-ft /equivalent tap (5/8"). LTWD has a high ratio of commercial, dairy and feedlot taps compared to residential taps. Annual planning is determined by calculating the average demand per tap for the last two to four years and adding 5% to the number of taps for the current year. Recent tap growth has been between 4 and 5% annually, but is currently around 3.5%. Long-term water demand projections are calculated using the 10- year average demand per tap of 0.76 ac-ft/tap and a 3.5% annual tap growth rate. As mentioned before, the LTWD requires developers to transfer in the amount of water necessary to meet the projected demands for new development. The District begins providing service for this new demand only when the water transfer to the District is complete. The District also manages a small reserve water pool whereby water shares for individual water tap services can be purchased (cash-in-lieu) and transferred from the reserve pool to the customer tap account. The LTWD does not have a committed firm supply available for new future demands. The burden is on new growth to provide its own water for service.

Upon reviewing the layout and design of this project, the Thompson School District has determined that the volume of traffic associated with this development should not be at a level that would warrant a bus turnout or pull around. At this time, the district requests that the developer provide a bus loading area well off the traveled portion of the roadway at the main entrance of the project. This loading area should be on the east side of the entrance, behind the entrance sign as long as the sign is not too tall to disrupt visibility. The loading area should have a cement or asphalt base, approximately 9' x 9', and could even include an informal shelter so students have a safe, friendly area to wait forthe bus. The district also requests that there be a streetlight/lamppost to further enhance safety during the winter season. Please let me know if you need additional information or clarification on the district's request.

Francisco Garcia Date Magpie Operating, Inc. Date January 10, 2005 From Hacienda Builders 1959 Bianca Ct. RE: PK 1058 Lot B of RE-3300 On May 18, 2004 the Sheriff's department had the following recommendations for the Garcia PUD II: 1. Designate an area by the entrance of the sub-division in which to place a shelter for school children awaiting the school bus. This area should include a pull off for the school bus enabling it to safely load and unload children out of the roadway. 2. Develop a central drop off location within the sub-division for the mail so that residents do not have to cross busy road to obtain their mail. 3. Present the name of street and address numbers to sheriff's office for approval. 4. Place a permanent sign at the entrance of the sub-division detailing the name of the sub-division and address. Plan for maintaining the sign. Individual addresses need to be clearly marked for each residential site. 5. If the roadways within the sub-division are not maintained by the county, property owners should be notified that sheriff's office will have limited traffic enforcement powers. 6. A plan should be developed to maintain roadways within the subdivision especially during inclement weather conditions foe emergency vehicles. 7. Sheriff's office is very supportive of HOAs. These associations provide a contact for the sheriff's office and a means of maintaining common areas. 8. Oil wells within the sub-division need to be fenced in order to mitigate potential for tampering. 9. Perimeter fence should be considered around body of water(ditch)for the safety of the residents. On November 9, 2004 verbal approval was given in a phone conversation by Mr. David Tuttle upon contingency of the following resolutions: 1. A lit, concrete pad will be built off the Highway on open space to ensure safe loading and unloading of school children. 2. One mail stop will be designated within the subdivision. Mail stop will be a pull off from Hwy 60. It will be easy access to the residents of the 9 estates and it will be easy for mail deliverer to get in and out. 3. Street name and address number range has been approved by sheriffs office. Letter is attached. 4. A sign with name of sub-division and address will be placed at the entrance of the sub-division. Individual addresses will be clearly marked. 5. Celeste Lane has been adopted by the County and thus will be a county mad. 6. Home Owner's Association will develop a plan for maintaining roadway especially during inclement weather conditions for emergency vehicles. 7. A Home Owner's Association will be established 8. The oil well will be protected by a 6 foot chain link fence and posted to avoid tampering. 9. The ditch is on private property and it will be clearly posted to mitigate trespassers.

I find no duplicates of this name in the 3000 range of addresses. Your street name and addresses are approved. Your letter stated that you were not planning to fence the irrigation ditch that runs through the property unless it is a requirement. I believe that is the best procedure to follow and would still recommend that it be done. I can only recommend that this be done;I do not have the authority to require that-you do it r HiritriarirrW Hacienda Builders 11/13/04 From Hacienda Builders 1959 Bianca Ct. RE: PK 1058 Lot B of RE-3300 Attn: Mr. David Tuttle This is in regards to our phone conversation on 11/9/04. We are requesting approval for Celeste Lane at Lot B of RE-3300. We are waiting for address#s from the county. It seems the range will be in the 3000s to be consistent with Hacienda Heights. If that changes, we will contact you and let you know. In regards to the fence parallel to the ditch;the ditch is on private property and there are at least 100 foot setbacks. Fran is posting the ditch area a private property/no trespassing area. He is not planning on fencing unless required.

You requested the applicant to contact several referral agencies that had not yet responded. I spoke with the Town Planner, Mr. John Franklin today at approximately 3:35 P.M. and he provided the following information. First, he indicated that my land is outside of the Town of Johnstown's planning area and that they typically do not respond to such cases but rather let the time allowed expire. Secondly,he suggested that a letter.written by me on his behalf would be acceptable to satisfy this request. Please accept this letter on his behalf and feel free to call him at 970-587-4664.
