Dear Mr,Jerkyand Members of the Board of County Commissioners; •
On behalf of Applied Films Corporation, I herein detail my frustration with the.Town of
Firestone,; This lack of timely response from the Town has hindered our ability to complete the
Planned Unit Development Process in a timely manner. Our goal for the property is to have the
zone changed,not further developed at this time:
In.2002, the Weld County Planning Department stated that our physical location within the
Intergovernmental Agreement Boundary for the Town of Firestone necessitated an Annexation to
be submitted to accomplish our goal of zoning the property,`:We therefore submitted an
application for annexation"and•zoning to the Town of Firestone on December 24 2002, We then
waited for response and public hearing dates from the Town. We repeatedly asked for comments
and hearing dates. It was not until June, 2003 that the Town provided response. The Town of
Firestone stated that Applied Films would have to "Force'Annexation"properties north of our
parcel to meet statutory requirements for Annexation. Applied Films did not want to proceed
with Annexation in the Town of Firestone based upon this condition by the Town of Firestone.
-We then met with Lee Morrison on August 27,,2003: Mr: Morrison stated that we could ,.
withdraw our annexation application and:not violate the Intergovernmental Agreement due to
contiguity requirements placed upon the annexation request that could not be reasonably met
The Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town or Firestone and Weld County specifics in
Section 19-2-70 .of the Weld County Code, "Each MUNICIPALITY will -give„serious
consideration to all petitions for annexation of lands within,its Urban Growth Area and will not
decline to annex such properties except for good cause. For the purposes of this Section, good
cause includes without limitation the following: , 121 the area is not reasonably contiguous in
het to the MUNICIPALITY'S'existinsr boundaries and its annexation '.would result la
disconnected municipal-satellite." Our application was not eligible for annexation due to lack of
reasonably-attainable contiguity with the result a disconnected municipal satellite. We withdrew
our.Annexation Application to the Town of Firestone in the fill of 2003. The Town of Firestone
stated they would send us an Annexation Agreement as early.as October,2003 for our review and
to start the"good faith"negotiations.
We submitted a Sketch Plan application on May 4. 2004 and a Change of Zone application on
August 31, 2004. The Board of County Commissioners Resolution for our Change of.Zone
hearing and award.(December 8, 2004) suited, "At the time of Final. Plan submission, the
applicant shall provide written evidence of a request for an annexation-agreement with the Town

of Firestone." Upon this condition,we mailed a request to.the Town of Firestone on December 6,
We attempted to submit our Tinal Plat application Weld County Planning in early April,2005 •
-
' Our application was not accepted as we did not have an Annexation Agreement with the Town of
Firestone. Our representatives at Todd Hodges Design reminded the Planner of the condition or
an"Attempt" stated previously. The Planner then stated the December 6,2004 letter pre-dated
the Change of tone hearing and therefore did not satisfy the "Attempt." We then sent another
letter via Fed Ex to the Town of Firestone on Aprl 26,2005. With this delivery confirmation,we
• were able to submit our application to Weld County.
•
Staff comments dated July.11, 2005 for.the Final Plat stated.'"Prior to recording the plat, the
applicant shall provide the Departrnettt of Flawing Services with a copy of an approved/accepted
annexation agreement with the Town of Firestone," We again sent a letter to the Town of
Firestone requesting an Annexation Agreement be mailed to us viaFed Ex on August 3,2005.In
this letter,we stated that if Applied Films or our representatives at Todd Hodges Design did not
hear from the Town by August 15, 2005. their lack of response will be the determination for
Planning Staff that the Final Plat can be recorded without the Annexation Agreement. 'Weld
County Planning Services would not allow our"Good Faith" effort to suffice., We therefore . .
requested a hearing with the Board of County Corn misioners in late August to make a
determination that we can proceed to record our Final Plat Our hearing is scheduled br October
5.2005 at 10 a.m.
On September 13.2005;our representatives at Todd Hodges Design received an email from the
Town of Firestone with a draft Annexation Agreement attached. Based upon the Town's past
history,negotiations on such agreement may delay our Final Plat from being recorded ror years,
Applied Films'has illustrated our honest intention to provide adequate"time.to negotiate this
agreement without any response from the Town.of Firestone. Our first documented request for an . •
• Annexation.Agreement is October of 2003. Nearly two years is adequate time to grant our
request. Our conditions of approval for the Final,Plat have been met with the exception of the
Firestone issue. We are now required to pay$50.00 perthree•month increment the Final Plat is
not filed This fee is due to the Town'of Firestone's lack of response to our repeated requests.
We will be happy to pay this fee if our Final Plan can be recorded.
We hereby requestthat this Condition of Approval and all associatednarrative-in'Staff Comments
pertaining to an Annexation Agreement with'the Town of Firestone be removed from Staff
Comments for our Final Plat' This request is hereby made due to a lack of"Good Faith Effort"
and lack of an"Appearance of Due Diligence"f;om.theTown of Firestone.
• Please make this letter,part of the record and we look forward to discussing this matter with you
at our hearing scheduled for October 5,•2005. •

Section 14: SW/4NW/4
Weld County,Colorado
Dear Board of County Commissioners,
The purpose of this letter is to i form you that Kerr-McGee's oil and gas rights may be
adversely affected by the Annexation a d initial Zoning Request currently proposed by Applied
Films Corporation. It is my understa ding that an initial public hearing on Applied Films'
application for site specific developm nt plan and PUD final plat approval is scheduled for
Wednesday, October 5,2005.
Kerr-McGee owns interest in th3 oil and gas leasehold estate in Section 14, Township 2
North, Range 68 West. This real prope, interest,which has been recorded,entitles Kerr-McGee
to produce oil and gas from these lands. Kerr-McGee also has the legal right to drill future wells
on the Property in accordance with Col >rado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Rule 318A
and other applicable law. Kerr-MeGc believes that the oil and gas resources underlying the
Property have significant value and, thi refore, is concerned about any surface use or plan of use
that would restrict or preclude the use a d enjoyment of these rights.
In addition, Kerr-McGee owns asemcnts and rights of way on the Property within which
it has buried high pressure natural gasp pelines and a network of natural gas gathering lines. Care
must be taken to insure that uses of the urface estate approved by the County above or near these
pipelines and gathering lines are consis nt with both public safety and Kerr-McGee's legal rights
of use.
Kerr-McGee's preferred practi e is to meet with and attempt to conclude a mutually
acceptable surface use agreement with he surface owners or their agents. Although it is crucial
that an agreement be in place prior tote County's approval of the developer's application, as of
this date no agreement has been reache and no surface use agreement relating to Kerr-McGee's

right to explore for and produce oil and gas in Section 14,Township 2 North,Range 68 West, is in
place.
For these reasons,Kerr-McGee bjects to any future plat approval or surface development
that fails to fully recognize and acca modate Kerr-McGee's access to, and utilization of, its
valuable property rights in Section 14, ownship 2 North, Range 68 West. Kerr-McGee requests
that the County require an executed s trface use agreement between the surface owner and the
mineral owners prior to final plat appro al as a condition of this application. Moreover, any future
plans should incorporate and designat those lands to be set aside for mineral development and
expressly address what measures will taken to protect Kerr-McGee's current and future wells,
pipelines, gathering lines and related oi, and gas facilities and equipment.
Please contact me at 720-264 2642 if you have any questions or comments about this
matter. Kerr-McGee hopes to conclu e a mutually acceptable surface use agreement with the
surface owner of the Property and look forward to cooperating with the County to accomplish its
land use planning goals.

Subject: RE: Applied Films
Jacqueline:
The Town of Firestone yesterday received the correspondence provided to the County by Applied Films,
which is a two-page letter dated September 13, 2005. As noted in the letter, Applied Films did previously
attempt to annex the noted property to Firestone, however,for technical reasons the annexation did not
proceed at that time.
Subsequently Applied Films requested an agreement to annex in order to comply with the Coordinated
Planning Agreement. For a variety of reasons there was some delay in providing them a specific draft
agreement. However, a draft was transmitted to Applied Films on September 12, 2005. Applied Films
has not provided the Town with any comments or requested revisions to the Agreement; rather, the only
correspondence received since providing Applied Films with a draft Agreement is the letter received
yesterday arguing that no Agreement is required. The Town disagrees with the characterization that
negotiations of the annexation agreement will take years; again, Applied Films has not responded to the
Town's draft and instead requests that the agreement requirement be dismissed.
As you know, Section 4.3(b)of the Coordinated Planning Agreement requires an executed agreement to
annex as a condition of approval of the subdivision. The Town stands ready to negotiate in good faith
with respect to the draft previously provided to Applied Films. The Town disagrees that the County can or
should waive the requirement for this agreement.
