RE: Eagle Ridge Estates PUD, PZ-1093
A parcel of land described as Lot A of RE-3840, beini a part of the NWl/4 of
Section 5,Township 7 North,Range 67 West of the 6t P.M.,Weld County
Colorado.
Dear Ms. Lockman,
Upon review of your Land Use Application Summary Sheet for the Change of zone
recommendation by Planning Staff, I fmd that all items are agreeable, except those concerning
North Poudre Irrigation Company water rights. The two items are"Zone Use Conditions"items
1.A. and 7.E. I'd like to start by assuring the planning department and council that Terra Firma
Ventures, LLC is very interested in keeping the estate lots on this property green or at least
properly irrigated for each lots usage and planting within the codes.
In order to accomplish this, the Homeowner's Association and CCR's that are currently drafted
and being reviewed by our lawyers for recordation, pending an approval from council, are going
to insure irrigation share ownership for certain usages. After speaking with James C. Heird, a
CSU large animal and land irrigation authority, I understand that at least half of a share will need
to be purchased by a lot-owner wishing to graze large animals. Therefore, Terra Firma ventures,
LLC will state in the covenants that large animals will be limited to one animal per acre, minus
one. It will also be stated that if a lot-owner wishes to graze his large animals, he must own at
least one, half share of irrigation water. If of course, the large animals are boarded and not
allowed to graze, they may be watered by the lot-owner's domestic potable system. Other than
these mandates, Terra Firma Ventures,LLC will not purchase irrigation water shares to be deeded
to the lot-buyers,unless Weld County requires it of us.
In addition, I would like to kindly request that an "Administrative Approval Process" be
implemented on the review of this proposed PUD, (9) lot Estate property. Terra Firma Ventures,
LLC finds that the coordination between Weld County Staff, outside jurisdictions and us, has
been outstanding and justifies the submittal of Final Construction Documents following the
formal Change of Zone. Thanks you for your time and efforts on this project.
