FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT
Pheasant Meadow Subdivision
Weld County, Colorado
1. General Legal Description
Pheasant Meadow Subdivision will be located in the West Half of the Northwest Quarter of
Section 3, Township 5 North, Range 64 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, Weld County,
Colorado.
2. General Location with Respect to Public/Private Roads
The proposed subdivision is bordered on the south by Weld County Road 60' and to the west
by Weld County Road 55 (which turns into Highway 37 about '/3 of the way up from the south
end of the property line going north). The Stout dairy is located east of the property, and
another landowner is to the north.
3. Names and Descriptions of the Surrounding Developments (One-half Mile)
There are none.
4. General Description of Proposed Subdivision Property
a. Area
The property is approximately 60.94 acres in size. 55.39 acres will be used for residential
lots, 1.45 acres for outlots, and 4.11 acres for WCR right-of-way. There are four lots
averaging 13.85 acres in area;the largest lot is 19.47 acres and the smallest is 11.76 acres.
b. Ground Cover
Currently, a large portion of the ground is used agriculturally, with small areas used for the
extraction of natural resources. The remaining ground is covered in native grasses, trees,
and other vegetation.
c. General Topography
The property slopes from north to south. The upper half of the property, which includes the
northern part of one lot, drains from the northwest corner of that lot to its southeast corner.
The property drains from north to south in the lower ZA of the property. This change in the
drainage pattern is due to the existing irrigation ditch, which runs along the north property
line of Lot 2 across the width of the property. Mr. Granados owns 40 shares in the Briscoe
Irrigation Company, evidenced by the attached copies of the ditch certificates. The site has a
gradual drop in elevation from 4630 feet at the northwest corner to 4612 feet at the
southwest corner. From the north property line, the ground slopes southward to an existing
depression area, which occupies approximately 2.5 acres in the southwest corner of the
property. The elevation at the bottom of the depression area is approximately 4612 ft.

Surface drainage is collected in this area and continues south beyond the property through a
culvert at the southwest corner.
d. General Soil Conditions
Kim loam, having a well-drained soil characteristic, makes up the majority of the property.
The NRCS soil classification for well-drained soils is B.
e. Irrigation Ditches or Laterals
A concrete irrigation ditch enters the property at the northwest corner and cuts across the
property parallel with the north property line of Lot 2 and runs into the neighboring property
at the intersection of Lots 1 and 2. (This irrigation ditch belongs to the property owner,
Francisco Granados.) From this intersection, the ditch runs south along the east side of the
property, west along the south side of the property, and continues south beyond the property
through a culvert at the southwest corner.
f. Drainageways
There are no apparent, natural drainage channels that flow through the property. However,
the lower half of the property has changed from the historic condition in flow direction,
which is likely to have occurred due to agriculture, such as the use of a concrete irrigation
ditch.
5. Description of the Drainage Basin and Sub-Basins
a. Major Drainageway Planning Studies
N/A
b. Major Drainage Characteristics
1. Existing Major Basin
B-1 can be delineated beginning about '/s of a mile south of Gill in the upper-western
half of Section 34. The upper half of Basin B-I swoops below Briscoe Lake and back
up to the northeast a little more than a half of a mile. From the northwest tip, the basin
ties straight down into the northwest corner of the property. The northeast tip of the
basin ties diagonally southwesterly down into the southeast corner of the development.
Briscoe Lake intercepts the stormwater runoff that accumulates to the north.

2. Existing Sub-Basins
There are two sub-basins associated with the site. The division into sub-basins was
determined by a proposed culvert under the new entrance to the subdivision off of WCR
60 %z. Sub-basin SB-1 is made up of most of the major basin B-I, but transitions into
Sub-basin SB-2 at the northwest corner of the development. Sub-Basin SB-1 drains
from the northwest tip of the major basin straight down to the northeast corner of the
development and down to WCR 60%z where the road becomes a berm, directing the flow
west to a culvert that takes the flow south beyond the property. Sub-basin SB-2 begins
at the northwest corner of the development and drains through the development in a
southeasterly direction to the southern boundary, along the same berm to the same
culvert outlet. As mentioned, the drainage from these sub-basins is collected in the
existing drainage channel along WCR 60 %z and continues south of the property.
Please refer to the Existing Basin and Sub-Basin maps, located in Appendix C.
c. Nearby Irrigation Ditches/Laterals that will be Affected
The existing concrete irrigation ditch (owned by the applicant) is the only ditch in the area
affected by the runoff of Pheasant Meadow Subdivision.
d. The Historic Drainage Flow Pattern of Property
The historic drainage flow pattern for this property travels south to the existing drainage
channel. Flows within the channel continue west to a culvert at the intersection of WCR 55
and WCR 60%z, head south and eventually discharge into the South Platte River.
6. Drainage Facility Design Concepts and Details for the Proposed Subdivision
a. Compliance with Off-Site Runoff Considerations
It is not the intent of the development to adversely affect the surrounding properties.
b. Anticipated and Proposed Drainage Patterns
The proposed drainage pattern will follow the historic flow patterns of the development. It
is the intent of the development to prevent adverse effects to the surrounding properties. We
have determined that—with the proposed improvements to the site—the percent impervious
will increase to 7. According to the Weld County Public Works Department, if a site has a
percent impervious less than 10, on-site stormwater detention is not necessary. We agree
that detention is not necessary for this development because the lots have an average area of
13.85 acres. For each lot, the proposed improvements include a house, a paved driveway
from the road to the garage, and the options for an outbuilding, sidewalks, and a patio.
These improvements will slightly increase the stormwater runoff from the site, but will not
negatively impact the irrigation ditch or adjacent property owners.

d. This report had minor revisions in comparison to the original sketch plan study. As
previously proposed, the site's runoff will exit at the same design points. The concrete ditch
that runs through the property was found to belong to the property owner, Mr. Granados, and
not an outside ditch company. Due to the addition of outlots to the layout, lot acreage
numbers became smaller, but not by a margin large enough to affect the drainage
calculations.

L=length of overland flow(500 ft maximum for non-urban land uses, 300 ft maximum for urban
land uses)
S= average basin slope(ft/ft)
Equation RO-3 is adequate for distances up to 500 feet. Note that, in some urban watersheds, the
overland flow time may be very small because flows quickly channelize.
2.4.2 Overland Travel Time. For catchments with overland and channelized flow, the time of
concentration needs to be considered in combination with the overland travel time, t„ which is calculated
using the hydraulic properties of the swale, ditch, or channel. For preliminary work,the overland travel
time, t„ can be estimated with the help of Figure RO-1 or the following equation (Guo 1999):
V= CVS,.,°5 (RO-4)

The time of concentration, t0, is then the sum of the initial flow time, t,, and the travel time, t,, as per
Equation RO-2.
2.4.3 First Design Point Time of Concentration In Urban Catchments. Using this procedure, the time
of concentration at the first design point (i.e., initial flow time, t,)in an urbanized catchment should not
exceed the time of concentration calculated using Equation RO-5.

Based in part on the data collected by the District since 1969, an empirical relationship between C and
the percentage imperviousness for various storm return periods was developed. Thus,values for C can
be determined using the following equations(Urbonas, Guo and Tucker 1990).
CA =KA + (1.31i' -1.44i 2 +1.135i-0.12)for CA≥0, otherwise CA=0 (RO-6)

arising out of such Unit Owner's interest in the Common Elements or
membership in the Association.
b. The insurer waives its rights to subrogation under the policy against any Unit
Owner or member of his household.
c. No act or omission by any Unit Owner,unless acting within the scope of such
Unit Owner's authority on behalf of the Association, will void the policy or

of a Unit Owner covering the same risk covered by the policy, the
Association's policy provides primary insurance.

12
a. Insurance on Common Elements. Property insurance on the Common
Elements and also on property that must become Common Elements for broad
form covered causes of loss, except that the total amount of insurance must
be not less than the full insurable replacement cost of the insured property less
applicable deductibles at the time the insurance is purchased and at each
renewal date, exclusive of land, excavations, foundations, and other items
normally excluded from property policies.
b. Commercial General Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability
insurance in a minimum amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) or

insurance shall cover claims of one or more insured parties against other
insured parties.

Association to protect against dishonest acts on the part of its officers, directors, trustees,
independent contractors, employees, and on the part of all others, including any Manager hired by

by the Association. In addition, if responsibility for handling funds is delegated to a Manager, such
insurance must be obtained by or for the Manager and its officers, employees, and agents, as

waivers of all defenses based upon the exclusion of persons serving without compensation from the
definition of"employees" or similar terms or expressions.

13
been obtained, the Association promptly shall cause notice of that fact to be hand delivered or sent
prepaid by United States mail to all Unit Owners.
8.7. Common Expenses. Premiums for insurance that the Association acquires and other
expenses connected with acquiring such insurance are Common Expenses.

9.1. Obligation. Each Owner, including Declarant while an Owner of any Unit, is
obligated to pay to the Association: (i) the Annual Assessments; (ii) Special Assessments; and (iii)
Default Assessments.

Common Interest Community, the Executive Board shall mail, by ordinary first-class mail, or
otherwise deliver a summary of the budget to all Owners and shall set a date for a meeting of the
Owners to consider the budget. Such meeting shall occur within a reasonable time after mailing or
other delivery of the summary, or as allowed for in the Bylaws. The Executive Board shall give
notice to the Owners of the meeting as allowed for in the Bylaws. The budget proposed by the
Executive Board does not require approval from the Owners and it will be deemed approved by the
Owners in the absence of a veto at the noticed meeting by a majority of all Owners, whether or not
a quorum is present. In the event that the proposed budget is vetoed, the periodic budget last
proposed by the Executive Board and not vetoed by the Owners must be continued until a subsequent
budget proposed by the Executive Board is not vetoed by the Owners.
9.3. Annual Assessments. Annual Assessments made for Common Expenses shall be
based upon the estimated cash requirements as the Executive Board shall from time to time determine
to be paid by all of the Owners. Estimated Common Expenses shall include, but shall not be limited
to, the cost of routine maintenance and operation of the Common Elements, if any, expenses of
management and insurance premiums for insurance coverage as deemed desirable or necessary by the
Association, landscaping of the Property, care of grounds within the Common Elements, if any,
routine repairs, replacements and renovations within and of the Common Elements, if any, wages,
common water and utility charges for the Common Elements, if any, legal and accounting fees,
management fees, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Association under or by reason of this
Declaration, payment of any deficit remaining from a previous Assessment period, and the creation
of a reasonable and adequate contingency or other reserve or surplus fund for insurance deductibles
and general, routine maintenance, repairs and replacement of Improvements within the Common
Elements, if any, on a periodic basis, as needed.
Annual Assessments shall be payable in monthly installments or on such other dates as the
Executive Board determines. The omission or failure of the Association to fix the Annual
14
Assessments for any Assessment period shall not be deemed a waiver,modification, or release of the
Owners from their obligation to pay the same. The Association shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to make prorated refunds of any Annual Assessments in excess of the actual expenses
incurred in any fiscal year.
9.4. Apportionment of Annual Assessments. The Common Expenses shall be allocated
among the Lots on the basis of the allocated interest for Common Expenses in effect on the date of
Assessment,provided however that the Association reserves the right to allocate all expenses related
to fewer than all of the Lots to the Owners of those affected Lots only. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the amount of Annual Assessment against Lots on which a certificate of occupancy has
not been issued may be set at a lower rate than the rate of Annual Assessment against those Lots on
which a certificate of occupancy has been issued pursuant to C.R.S. §38-33.3-315(3)(b),as amended,
since such Lots do not receive certain benefits including the same services as other Lots. The lower
rate of Assessment against such Lots shall be determined by the Board based upon the costs and
expenses of the services actually provided to such Lots.
9.5. Special Assessments. In addition to the Annual Assessments, the Association may
levy in any fiscal year one or more Special Assessments, payable over such a period as the
Association may determine, for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any
construction or reconstruction, unexpected repair or replacement of Improvements within the
Common Elements, if any, or for any other expense incurred or to be incurred as provided in this
Declaration. This Section shall not be construed as an independent source of authority for the
Association to incur expense, but shall be construed to prescribe the manner of assessing expenses
authorized by other sections of this Declaration. Any amounts assessed pursuant to this Section shall
be assessed to Owners according to their allocated interests for Common Expenses, subject to the
right of the Association to assess only against the Owners of affected Units any extraordinary
maintenance, repair or restoration work on fewer than all of the Units which shall be borne by the
Owners of those affected Units only,and any extraordinary insurance costs incurred as a result of the
value of a particular Owner's Unit or the actions of a particular Owner(or his agents,servants,guests,
tenants or invitees) shall be borne by that Owner. Notice in writing of the amount of such Special
Assessments and the time for payment of the Special Assessments shall be given promptly to the
Owners, and no payment shall be due less than ten(10) days after such notice shall have been given.
9.6. Default Assessments. All monetary fines assessed against an Owner pursuant to the
Association Documents, or any expense of the Association which is the obligation of an Owner or
which is incurred by the Association on behalf of the Owner pursuant to the Association Documents,
shall be a Default Assessment and shall become a lien against such Owner's Unit which may be
foreclosed or otherwise collected as provided in this Declaration.Notice of the amount and due date
of such Default Assessment shall be sent to the Owner subject to such Assessment at least ten(10)
days prior to the due date.
9.7. Effect of Nonpayment; Assessment Lien. Any Assessment installment, whether
pertaining to any Annual, Special,or Default Assessment,which is not paid on or before its due date
15
shall be delinquent. If an Assessment installment becomes delinquent, the Association, in its sole
discretion, may take any or all of the following actions:
a. Assess a late charge for each delinquency in such amount as the Association
deems appropriate;
b. Assess an interest charge from the due date at the yearly rate of eighteen
percent (18%), or such other lawful rate as the Executive Board may
establish;
c. Suspend the voting rights of the Owner during any period of delinquency;
d. Suspend the rights of the Owner,and the Owner's family,guests,lessees, and
invitees,to use Common Element facilities during any period of delinquency;
e. Accelerate all remaining Assessment installments so that unpaid Assessments
for the remainder of the fiscal year shall be due and payable at once;
f. Bring an action at law against any Owner personally obligated to pay the
delinquent Assessments; and
g. Proceed with foreclosure as set forth in more detail below.
Assessments chargeable to any Unit shall constitute a lien on such Unit. The Association may
institute foreclosure proceedings against the defaulting Owner's Unit in the manner for foreclosing
a mortgage on real property under the laws of the State of Colorado. In the event of any such
foreclosure, the Owner shall be liable for the amount of unpaid Assessments, any penalties and
interest thereon,the cost and expenses of such proceedings,the cost and expenses for filing the notice
of the claim and lien, and all reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of
the lien. The Association shall have the power to bid on a Unit at foreclosure sale and to acquire and
hold, lease, mortgage, and convey the same. Liens for Assessments and their priority shall be as
provided in C.R.S. §38-33.3-316.
9.8. Personal Obligation. Each Unit Owner is liable for Assessments made against such
Owner's Unit during the period of ownership of such Unit. No Unit Owner may be exempt from
liability for payment of the Assessments by waiver of the use or enjoyment of any of the Common
Elements or by abandonment of the Unit against which the Assessments are made. Suit to recover
a money judgment for unpaid Assessments, any penalties and interest thereon,the cost and expenses
of such proceedings, and all reasonable attorney fees in connection therewith shall be maintainable
without foreclosing or waiving the Assessment lien provided in this Declaration.
9.9. Payment by Mortgagee. Any Mortgagee holding a lien on a Unit may pay any unpaid
Assessment payable with respect to such Unit,together with any and all costs and expenses incurred
16
with respect to the lien, and upon such payment that Mortgagee shall have a lien on the Unit for the
amounts paid with the same priority as the lien of the Mortgage.
9.10. Statement of Status of Assessment Payment. Upon payment of a reasonable fee set
from time to time by the Executive Board,the Association shall furnish to a Unit Owner or such Unit
Owner's designee or to a holder of a security interest or its designee upon written request,delivered
personally or by certified mail, first-class postage prepaid, return receipt, to the Association's
registered agent or Manager, a written statement setting forth the amount of unpaid Assessments
currently levied against such Owner's Unit. The statement shall be furnished within fourteen(14)
calendar days after receipt of the request and is binding on the Association,the Executive Board,and
every Unit Owner. If no statement is furnished to the Unit Owner or holder of a security interest or
his or her designee,delivered personally or by certified mail,first-class postage prepaid,return receipt
requested, to the inquiring party, then the Association shall have no right to assert a lien upon the
Unit for unpaid Assessments which were due as of the date of the request.
9.11. Maintenance of Accounts;Accounting. If the Association delegates powers of the
Executive Board or its officers relating to collection,deposit,transfer,or disbursement of Association
funds to other persons or to a Manager, then such other persons or Manager must: (i) maintain all
funds and accounts of the Association separate from the funds and accounts of other associations
managed by the other person or Manager; (ii) maintain all reserve and working capital accounts of
the Association separate from the operational accounts of the Association, and (iii) provide to the

14.1. Rural Weld County. Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties
in the United States, ranking fifth(5th)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 farms,those features which attract urban dwellers to rural Weld County would
quickly be gone forever.
14.2. Agricultural Uses. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change
their long-established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural
area. Well-run agricultural activities will generate 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, Colorado Revised Statutes, 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.
14.3. Rural Services. Weld County covers a land area of over four thousand(4,000)square
miles in size(twice the size of the State of Delaware)with more than three thousand seven hundred
(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 the 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 arterials 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. Services in rural
areas, in many cases,will not be equivalent to municipal services. Rural dwellers must,by necessity,
be more self-sufficient than urban dwellers.
33
14.4. Parental Supervision. Children are exposed to different hazards in the 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 is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's
livelihood. Parents are responsible for their children.
