We 've had a different year here , with plans for a new equestrian orien- tated developement in La Salle (10 miles south of Greeley) well ahead, with work hopefully commencing there in September this year to be ready to run our next horse trials there in August 1985. (See pp . 18 & 19) . Judith and I are delighted that the facilities here at Trout Creek were used for their original purpose this past spring and summer, with not only individuals using the Center to condition and train, but the Pine Ridge Pony Club using the site for second year as their Camp . site . I have attended four of the five horse trials in Colorado and Wyoming so far this year, and have noted not only a super attitude among the Juniors , but a healthy improvement and progression through the divisions by riders who were at elementary level when I first arrived here four years ago , and are now proficient in both Training and Preliminary levels . We do try and make these three days fun for all who attend in terms of actual competition, facilities and our attitude towards y' all, but because of the new facility taking up a lot of our time, we may not have improved as much as some of youwould wish in some areas (dressage arenas) - bear with us and understand that the Beebe Draw project will be better in every respect as a Combined Training Center. .

AND HOW THE SCORING WORKS I 've made a noble effort, over the past three years , to explain the rules of Horse Trials , and will have one more go at it for the benefit of the unknowing. A Horse Trials is made up of three different phases of competition - 1 . Dressage (harmonious developement of physique and ability of horse) 2 . Cross Country - (aims to prove speed, endurance and jumping ability) 3. Stadium Jumping (aims to prove that after endurance, the horse is still supple and obedient . ) . -The scoring is different, in that the winner is the one with the fewest penalty points . 1n other words , on cross country and stadium jumping for example, com- petitors are NOT given good marks for clearing a fence, they get penalty points if they do something wrong. Now if you're sitting comfortably, I 'll begin. Dressage (See Test and Arena lay-out) . This test is the one actually being used by Training divisions here . -The markers A,K,E,H,C ,M,B and F are outside the arena, whilst D,X and G are imaginary ones inside . The Test shows movement #1 as "A. Enter working trot (sitting) . X. Halt , Salute. Proceed working trot (sitting) . C. Track right. " OK then, if a competitor is perfect on that man- neuver (unlikely! ) he/she will get 10 points , and so on down to movement #13 . On top of this the collective marks are added. The good marks (0 — 10) -on the Test and the collective marks are added together. These good marks are then subtracted from the - maximum obtainable (240 on shown example) in order to convert good -marks into penalty points for each competitor and this total is AMERICAN HORSESHOWSASSOCIATION then multiplied by 0 .6.

Inc . 7 MEET THE JUDGES Iii COLONEL PAUL WIMERT Jr. IWaterford,Virginial Raised in Westminster, Maryland, Colonel Paul Wimert Junior joined the US Cavalry in 1943 and fought through to the end of the European campaign as a -junior officer commanding a reconnaissance horse platoon in a mechanized Cavalry regiment, with a mission of -patrolling between the American and Russian lines in Germany. During this period, he had the rare opportunity to sojourn and study with Colonel Alois Pedhajsky at the Spanish Riding School . Along with General Jack Burton, Paul Wimert rode in the first US Horse Trials , and in 1954 was "loaned" to the Venezuelian Army as a horse cavalry instructor, with the brief of organizing a polo team and a creditable Olympic team! He is an AHSA International Dressage Judge , an FEI International Dres- sage Judge, an AHSA Recognized Hunter and Jumper Judge and a Technical Delegate for both Combined Training and Dressage . The last three years have seen Colonel Wimert judging an International 3-Day Event in Ireland, the National Dressage Championships in Mexico and four different events in Canada (including Bromont) . -Needless to say, his judging and TD ' ing expertise has been witnessed all over the US , including such famous names as the Ledyard 3-Tay and the Middleburg National Horcc Show. He rides and trains his own horse-s at his home at Waterford, Virginia almost every day and he judges , lectures and assists with Pony Clubs . He was invited to be a member of the selection committee to pick the United States 3-Day Event team for the 1984 Olympics . When asked about his other interests , Colonel Wimert replied that he didn' t have the time for other pursuit-s , and that he always had a young horse that needed schooling. Having had the pleasure to meet him at Abbe earlier this year, I am sure that he will endear himself to young competitors with his cavalrymans ' sense of fair play. Vie, r Mr IIJp. mq. yr,hr.

Corky taught at J.E.S . during her high school and college years . She has competed successfully in both Combined Training and Dressage , so much so that in 1978 Corky and her -mare "Chimes" were ranked 19th nationally at First Level Dressage. She came year "Chimes" was the MSCTA/NCC Combined Training Horse of the Year, and Corky herself was the Senior Rider of the Year. Corky is currently active in teaching dressage and jumping in Greeley and is rated an A+ISA 'r' Judge in Dressage . With the Trout Creek op- eration shortly moving to within a few miles of Corky, we are looking forward to becoming neighbours with such a proficient horsewoman. fad • B B • a° B,44 4"s a o Corky Shaha riding a "� 9e °&0(.0 B e °a as "Justice For All" a Ba at the Foothills j '° a�BB� �_ Dressage Show ,, B Fp��- ₹a a as °,a >a' a,fieet�ay � P.' e P area¢ easB a a; a j‘l g B e .qy Y 'v 'mmosaes a tea% i$HYP gAS a _ tt 04, �aa ss s= Wye '4J° aP all " is t °° d= $ •jv4 :a 11 Nye" P addon v.;;(0—.a e �' G agB,grd6,,@p$, t."" °6t & Btl Aa a§in . ®aa.

He was one of the first members of the United States Equestrian Team (prior to World War Two) and ' just ' missed selection to the team itself because of the War. -He spent several years in Germany after the conflict a before his return to the USA in the late '40 's . From that time until fairly recently, he competed in Hunter & Jumper shows in the SW part of the Country, before becoming more involved with Combined Training. He is an AHSA International Dressage Judge, a big "R" Judge in both Hunter ,, sd 0::::.14, and and Jumper AHSA classes as well as a r Combined Training Technical Delegate, 1983 saw him officiate at Dressage and Hunter/Jumper shows throughout the SW. _cAsotiDo not be fooled by that easy-going ,'"-)7.1-7:i exterior, whilst Billy Greear is as y;e friendly and helpful 1'D as you are ever likely to meet, he sees-all and knows- all at any event at which he officiates , and it 's a pleasure to welcome him back . ` 1983 also saw him completely baffle the trout population here in South Park, the fj�' �5�✓i+% 4� `fir result being many fine meals as a direct result of his fishing endeavours . 4,04.t w' s•r .rte t . , . . 8 4 `, , �, °d ' THE NOVICE WATER IN 1982 44 vim' } if g ,.., `s a, wi. x ,' "'.e %ire e 0 , 10 THE WORLD COMMENTS ON TROUT CREEK , P ' s Why is Where's = 4 my wife the " on 44 horse .. e� fence crew's trial ' 9.

' • EQUESTRIAN • g lake CENTER 'b- - - PROJECTED LAYOUTI / , I / scale: 1"=400' BEEBE DRAW FARMS & EQUESTRIAN CENTER 19 * I touched briefly in the opening remarks on the above project - let me elaborate slightly. The proposed 'Beebe Draw Farms & Equestrian Center' is sited same 10 miles south of Greeley and to -the south east of La Salle on an existing 5,000 acre ranch. The plans are to dev- elope about 600 two and a half acre home-sites linked to a central multi-purpose Equestrian Center by 18 miles of trail rides in good riding country. The Center will consist of a 300 ' x 120 ' indoor arena with spectator seating, a two-storey horse orientated club facility overlooking -Lake Christina, a large outside arena, a planned 100-stall inside stabling complex with each stall having a 36 ' outside run, three immediate cross country courses around 2,600 acres of green-belt, a minimum of two full size dressage arenas , a stadium jumping arena, miles of spec- iality training areas consisting of streams , banks, poles etc , and 27 miles of interior connecting roads . In addition, the 7D0 acre Milton Reservoir will be developed into a water recreation area (sail boating, wind surfing, floating docks , angling etc . ) . Long term plans are for up to 100 condominium units to be built adjacent to the Equestrian Center and the recreation complex. The Equestrian phase will begin shortly after these Trials , when Preliminary, -Training and Novice courses will be constructed in time for August 1985 (Trout Creek dates) , and in 1986,extending the fac- ilities to include a steeplechase course and additional fences , inc- luding an Elementary and maybe Intermediate course . As the map shows , the Center is about 45 miles north of Denver and 30 miles east of Fart -Collins - so help us by supporting us at the Trials in 1985 and consider boarding with us and using the facilities .

The first prize goes to Valery Moore of Aspen, for a very comprehensive and detailed description of her intended course on Training last year. Second prize goes to Kerry Marten of Franktown, for a thoughtful plan of the Elementary course , with the odd insight into her horses intentions . Third prize goes to Betsy Matsch of Littleton, who , incidentally, also placed in this competition in 1982, keep trying Betsy, this could be your year! Congratulations to all -three of you, please be prepared to accept your trophies during Stadium on Sunday. The rules for this Under-18 competition are the same as for the past two years - draw a rough plan of your course, showing fence #' s , red and white flags , options , strides (where applicable) and your own intended track and the reason for taking it. Entries are acceptable on any kind of writing material. Remember that entries are FREE - just give your entry to me or send it in soon after the Horse Trials . Below is an -example of the kind of thing we are looking for. rlAtj _„- - ---- r® 0 // ,(b4, n c�,— j &.W a•,v Tn ,rvbei Rrhv-ovr �a ,• s4-/ - „ , -- N:1000-a'Lo/E „ it L�F�S on/ rt f av S P Mr A magnificent photograph of how - ' to negotiate a Normandy Bank .

Lou Ann Wulf came up with an idea last year that we may adopt this year, that being a detailed list of each fault at every fence, and then sent out via the various Chapter newsletters . In 1983, 118 riders began the cross country phase , of which 42% incurred time penalties and 37. 3% had jumping faults . Of the 65 fences -offered on the four courses , 20 caused jump- ing faults . The biggest probl-em (once again) were the water fences , with 7 out of 27 having problems with the training water, and 28 Of 59 riders at the Pre-Training (now Novice) water. Perhaps the degree of difficulty on each course was reflecLed in the ' clear' rounds - 37% en the Training Championship course ( 19 fences ) , 57% clear on Training ( 18 fences) , 63% on Pre-Training ( 16 fences ) and 72% on Elementary ( 12 fences) . • PLEASE REMEMBER TO HAND IN YOUR BRIDTF NUMBERS AND PINNEYS AT THE END OF CROSS COUNTRY (PINNEYS ) AND STADIUM (BRIDLE NUMBERS ) • i AD • PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK-OUT THE NOTICE BOARD AT FREQUENT INTERVALS FOR ANY LATE CHANGES IN THE SCHEDULE OR OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS - - - - im 22 HOW TO GET TO THE HORSE TRIALS Lory State Park Fort Collins Strang Ranch Carbondale,Colorado Colorado Bel1ev e-7 Tern's ri Place maiItt4, boxes T 1 LJ d c c m -O gas` 46, station 14 �. +r 8 Hilltop - Matchett Farms Big Horn Grand Junction,Colorado Sheridan,Wyoming Denver-4w Airport Exit 29 Rd. o 5th St. 0 Exit v " thru town — stay on n a 5th,onto gravel for a 12th St. U.--' 4 miles Leo 11 1 Abbe Ranch T Beebe Draw ITrout Creek) Larkspur, Colorado La Salle,Colorado c Larkspu i * i Exit a a Corrals x 39 3 miles ----------�,. 4� as c 0c 60 n 0 Post ( 32 _ Office I— Vs Plattevi le // f Y {�V�' 23 THE NEW .1984 STANDARDS FOR CROSS COUNTRY Obstacle Ditch Dimensions N-3'O' T- 3'7" :211 P 4'7" N-3.O' T-3'3" I - 5'3" T-5.O..

When I purchased the property in 1978, Weld County Road 39 was paved from Road 32 to Road 40 and would have been, in our opinion , adequate for a long time for the type and maximum quantity of vehicular traffic that cur development will be generating over its phased buildout program . Two miles of WCR 32 going west from Road 39 toward Highway 85 were gravel surfaced. The County has subsequently plowed up the asphalt because of damage from the petroleum industry traffic and has downgraded Road 39 to gravel for the 4 miles. We had several meetings during summer and fall of 1984 with the Engineering and Planning Departments to address the access and road impact questions . We furnished detailed traffic studies and road upgrade analysis prepared by Steve Blue of ARIX, and based on this information we proposed to the Engineering Department that: A. We would perform 100% of the maintenance of the 7 miles of presently graveled roads in the vicinity of the project (2 miles of WCR 32 from WCR 35 to WCR 39; 4 miles of WCR 39 from WCR 32 to WCR 40; and 1 mile of WCR 38 east of WCR 39) until such time as the County decided that these roads should be paved. B. That whenever the County determined that 32 and 39 should be paved, we would contribute one half of the cost, with the remainder to be paid by the County or others . The cost of each 1/2 using a proposed phased improvement schedule was estimated at around $900,000 - $1,000,000. The proposal was not acceptable to either the Engineering Department or to Don Warden, the principal reason being that even if the proposed mitigation was considered equitable there was no way for the County to provide any participa- ting funds. The 5% cap on revenue increases was another of several reasons. When the staff made us aware of the County' s financial problem we made a second proposal prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing . An intervening holiday prevented any meeting with Engineering and Planning so based on the prior proposal the Planning Department recommended denial to the P & Z Commission soley because of a lack of agreement with Engineering on the (access road requirements. We have subsequently met jointly with and had further discussions with the Engineering and Planning Departments and have, we believe, reached agreement on these questions. The present status of our understanding is as follows: A. 1. It is agreed that only two county roads will experience significant access and traffic impact : WCR 32 from U.S. 85 to WCR 39, and WCR 39 from WCR 32 to WCR 44. Impacts on any other county roads will be negligible. 2. It is agreed that the requirement for "Adequate Access" to the site will be satisfied by WCR 32 from U.S. 85 to WCR 39, and WCR 39 north to the PUD entrance which is on WCR 39. This is a distance of slightly over 7-1/2 miles. 3. The starting date for the requirement to improve or upgrade the access roads in 2 above will be tied to completion of houses in the PUD. 4. The question of impact on WCR 39 from the PUD entrance north to WCR 44 after the access road has been paved is left to be resolved. B. The proposal to Weld County from Beebe Draw Land Company, Ltd. (hereafter "Beebe Draw") to resolve the road access question is as follows: 1. Beebe Draw Farms and Equestrian Center ( Beebe Draw) will adequately maintain to county standards at its cost, the existing 7 miles of gravel on 32, 39 and 38. This includes dust control not presently being done by the County, and snow removal . The only cost to the County will be the furnishing at its source of gravel required, which will be hauled by Beebe Draw to the PUD. This total maintenance will continue until the required paving work on the site access road has been completed. The estimated cost to Beebe Draw of this maintenance work, assuming 5 years to completion of the paving, is $620,000. 2. The required paving of the 7-1/2 miles ( as above) so as to provide adequate access to the P. U.D. will be done by Beebe Draw at its sole cost . This is Estimated to be over $2,000,000. The formula for establishing a starting date and the specifications for the paving work are to be worked out between the County Engineering Department and the Developer's Engineers and to be agreed to by the County Commission prior to the PUD final plan approval and the acceptance by the County of the plat for the first filing of Beebe Draw. Satisfactory security arrange- ments also must be worked out with the County Commission. During the 15 year proposed buildout of the PUD, and assuming the acceptance of the above proposal , the contributions from Beebe Draw to Weld County for the Road and Bridge and Engineering budgets would total : a) Maintenance performed for the County $ 620,000 b) Paving access roads (32 and 39 - 7-1/2 miles) 2,000,000 c) Tax income at 1983 mileage, and not incl . revenue sharing funds (Section 8 of submittal ) 240,000 d) Revenue sharing funds (at 1983 rates) 188,000 e) SME from sales taxes on equipment : to date 5,500 on future $550,000 11,000 Total Estimated Contribution $ 3,064,500 3. WCR 38 from 39 east is presently being used primarily for oil and gas traffic but there are two other owners on this section so it cannot be vacated by the County. Beebe Draw will permanently continue the maintenance on this 1 mile of gravel road. 4. Not resolved is the question of additional impact on WCR 39 north of the entrance or the cost to the County of this 4+ miles of maintenance subsequent to the paving of the access road, after which most of our traffic would be using the new pavement . Since our tax contributions over the period in question have been estimated in our fiscal impact analysis at $444,500 (see 6.2 above) , we believe that the County will be receiving sufficient revenue from us to cover whatever the cost for this presently indeterminate amount of additional traffic might be . A further justification for this position can be based on the economic benefit of the development for Weld County business.

Development Standard No. 1 on the subject plat states , "The final P. U. D. Plan Map shall locate dwelling units , the indoor and outdoor arenas , stadiums, and the clubhouse a minimum of 300 feet from oil and gas drill sites and production facilities. Oil and gas production is a per- mitted use in the P. U. D. District. " Mr. Burk and I, on behalf of the owner of the subject property, have requested clarification of the foregoing Standard. Specifically, we have sought a definition of what constitutes a "drill site" for -purposes _of setback measurement. You have explained to us that it was and is the County' s intent and understanding that a "drill site" means the location of the well head and adjacent production facilities . In other words , to measure a -point 300 feet from a drill site one would begin to measure from the well head or adjacent production facilities .

Proposed PUD, Weld County, Colorado Dear Sir: After discussing with management of Amoco Production Company the results of the hearing before the Weld County Planning Commission on November 13, 1984, regarding the above-mentioned proposal , and our subsequent meeting on November 15, 1984, I am writing to apprise you of the position Amoco intends to take before the Weld County Board of County Commissioners when the matter is heard on December 5, 1984. It remains our intent to insure that Amoco' s rights to explore for and produce oil and gas from the subject lands under the current agricultural zoning are not eroded in any way whatsoever if the proposed change in zoning to a -Planned Unit Development is approved. We maintain that our request ..for the specific language that "oil and gas exploration and production is allowed as a use by right within all areas of the Planned Unit Development" is the best way of accomplishing this result. However, in our telephone conversation with Lee Morrison of the Weld County Attorney's office on November 15, 1984, Mr. Morrison took the position that our rights would be equally preserved by including oil and gas exploration and production as a use that is allowed in all areas of the Planned Unit Development in the Change of Zone, and Resolution which lists accepted uses within the Planned Unit -Development. Although we still believe our requested "use by right" language is preferable because it is consistent with our present status, we are willing to accept Mr. Morrison' s representations on behalf of Weld County that our rights will be identical in every way to the rights we now enjoy under the current agricultural zoning to explore for and produce oil and gas. Necessarily we will want these representations to be made of record by Mr. Morrison and concurred with by the Board. Additionally, we will want to discuss on the record the details concerning wh-at including oil and gas _exploration and production as a use that is allowed in all areas of the Planned Unit Development means in terms of future development. Specifically, we deem it essential that the Board understand that we expect to have the opportunity to drill as many Mr. Morris Burk November 19, 1984 Page Two wells as allowed by applicable laws, rules and regulations which may mean a well site approximately every 40 acres with attendant access, pipelines, production facilities and required buffer zones. Inasmuch as you have stated that you feel our requested "use by right" language is unnecessary, we will appreciate your concurrence that it is the intent of all parties that the rights now -in place under the agricultural zoning to explore for and pro-duce oil and gas remain undisturbed if the change in zoning to a Planned Unit Development is approved. Very truly yours, ice7-( Neal -Peters cc: Lee Morrison, Esq. John B. Houtchens, Esq. Molly Sommerville, Esq. December 5, 19-84 11111 To: Weld County Commissioners The Bebe draw subdivision should be denied. Why? Of all the subdivisions in Weld County, only 40% are improved lots or platts. Therefore it is ridiculous to grant more subdivisions. However, if there would be 95% occupancy, then and only then if the incorporated towns voted not to have contiguous development, should -a subdivision be approved. If this flagrant granting of subdivisions continues there should be a recall of the Weld County Commissioners on the grounds of violation of Weld County Comprehensive Plan.

Morrison Planning Department representative, Rod Allison The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated October 29, 1984, and duly published November 1 and 22, 1984, in the La Salle Leader, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Beebe Draw Cattle Company for a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development, recreational and residential uses) . Chairman Pro-Tem Johnson told the applicant that, since only four Commissioners were present, they could request that the hearing be continued to a date when all Commissioners will be present. If today's hearing is conducted and concludes -with a tie vote, the absent Commissioner would listen to the tape and cast the deciding vote at a later date. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, read this application into the record. Rod Allison, Planning Department representative, reviewed the Planning Commission hearing which resulted in a tie vote; therefore, there was no recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding this matter. In response to questions from Commissioner Johnson, Mr. Allison stated that the Planning staff had recommended denial of this request. Mr. Allison also commented concerning the uses whichwould be allowed within the proposed Planned Unit Development. Morris Burk, the applicant, came forward and gave a detailed explanation of this request. His presentation addressed the issues raised by the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. He presented a program from his present equestrian center near Fairplay, Applicant's Exhibit "A", and a proposal for the provision of street and highway facilities to the proposed Planned Unit Development, Applicant's Exhibit "B". (Tape Change 84-133) Following Mr. Burk's presentation, in response to questions from Commissioner Johnson, Don Warden, Finance Director, made comments regarding the fiscal impact this project would have on the County. Engineering Director, Drew Scheltinga, also made comments concerning the roads which would be affected by this proposal. Following a short recess, this hearing was opened for public comments. John Young, equine veterinarian, spoke in favor of the proposal. Steve Abrams presented a press release from EDAB favoring the proposal, Applicant's Exhibit "C". Richard Binger also spoke in favor of this application. Nancy Hettinger and Beverly Bruntz presented arguments against the proposal, followed by Barry Bowman in favor. David Karpel, representing Rocky Mountain Energy Company, informed the Board that his company owns the minerals and expressed his company's concerns because this area has been designated as a coal resource area. (Tape change 84-134) Mr. Allison explained Weld County's mineral -extraction plan and stated that the State of Colorado has determined that this area is not mineable. Mr. Karpel requested that if this request is approved, the approval be conditional upon the satisfaction of his company's interests. Corky Shaha, Nancy Mitchell, Kathi Fortmann and C. Herb Hickmore came forward to speak favorably of this proposal. Neal Peters, Attorney with Amoco Production Company, presented a letter, Opposer's Exhibit "1", concerning Amoco's rights and requested that oil and gas exploration be allowed as a use by right within all areas of the Planned Unit Development if it is -approved. Mr. Morrison, for the record, explained that a Change of Zone does not enlarge or diminish the rights of oil and gas production. Pamela Staley and Molly Sommerville, both with _Amoco, also spoke. Carl Jepsen, Jerry Wardell, Charles Garznak and E.J. Novacek made comments concerning this request. Mr. Morrison presented a map of oil production in the area, Opposer's Exhibit "2", -which had been presented at the Planning Commission hearing. Grace Moser spoke in opposition to the request and asked that a letter submitted by Roy Moser be read into the record. Mr. Morrison read this letter, Opposer's Exhibit "3", into the record. Dr. Simon Turner, veterinarian at C.S.U. , spoke in favor of this request. Laura Mark spoke opposing this Change of Zone. Mr. Burk came forward to rebut comments made by those apposed to this proposal. The Board asked a number of questions concerning this application. (Tape change 84-135) Commissioner Johnson then reviewed the questions which the Board must use as criteria in deciding this matter. Commissioner Brantner moved to approve the Change of Zone from Agricultural to Planned Unit Development requested -by Beebe Draw Cattle Company and stated the reasons for his motion. Commissioner Martin seconded the motion. Mr. Allison stated that the Planning staff had recommended that four notes be placed on the plat and included in the Resolution if the Change of Zone is approved. Commissioner Brantner amended his motion to include the recommendations of the Planning staff. Commissioner Martin, seconder of the -motion, agreed to the amendment. After comments from Commissioners C. Carlson and Johnson, the motion carried unanimously. APPROVED: /J Q.

S DESCRIPTION OF BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER LOCATION THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED IN SOUTHWEST WELD COUNTY. (SEE FIGURE 1 THE -WESTERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE IS APPROXIMATELY SIX AND ONE HALF (6-1/2) MILES EAST OF PLATTEVILLE, COLORADO. IT IS DIRECTLY ACCESSIBLE BY WELD COUNTY ROADS (WCR) #32 FROM PLATTEVILLE AND WCR #39 FROM THE NORTH. EXISTING CONDITIONS THE PROPOSED BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER (BDF & EC) ENCOMPASSES APPROXIMATELY 4,328 ACRES, WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2,285 ACRES LEASED FROM THE FARMERS RESERVOIR AND IRRIGATION COMPANY (FRICO) . THE FRICO LEASE PROVIDES WATER RECREATION POSSIBILITIES ON MILTON RESERVOIR FOR BDF RESIDENTS AND THE EC. APPROXIMATELY 3,000 OF THE 4,328 ACRES WILL BE MAINTAINED AS PERMANENT GREEN BELT AND RECREATIONAL SPACE. THE TERRAIN IS FLAT TO ROLLING RANGE LAND WITH NO AGRICULTURAL USE OTHER THAN MINIMAL GRAZING. THERE ARE 29 EXISTING OIL AND GAS WELLS SCATTERED ACROSS THE PUD AREA WITH SEVERAL GAS PIPELINES AND ACCESS ROADS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE WELLS. THERE ARE ALSO STOCK WATER WELLS LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY. THE PLATTE VALLEY CANAL FLOWS INTO MILTON RESERVOIR FROM THE NORTHWEST.

THE GILMORE DITCH FLOWS OUT OF THE MILTON RESER- VOIR IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION. LAKE CHRISTINA AND SEVERAL OTHER PONDS ARE LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF MILTON RESERVOIR. THEY TOTAL APPROXIMATELY 15 ACRES AND ARE RELATIVELY SHALLOW. -PROPOSED CONCEPT BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER IS A CAREFUL BLEND OF RECREATION AND RESIDENTIAL USES PLANNED SO AS TO MAINTAIN A DESIRABLE RURAL ATMOSPHERE. 70 INSURE THAT THE RURAL ATMOSPHERE IS MAINTAINED, WE HAVE SET ASIDE VAST AREAS OF GREEN BELT AND TOTALLY INTEGRATED THE EXTENSIVE EQUESTRIAN TRAINING AND {VENTING FACILITIES INTO THE REST OF THE PROJECT. IT WOULDBE IMPOSSIBLE TO BY ITS ESSENTIAL NATURE, TO LOCATE THIS CONCEPT AD- JACENT TO AN URBANIZED AREA BECAUSE OF THE NECESSARY LOW DENSITY AND AGRICUL- TURAL NATURE OF THE PROJECT. (SEE STATEMENT O7 ) FOR THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER, IN ADDITION TO AN INDOOR -RENA, OFFICES, STABLES, PADDOCKS AND VARIOUS TRAINING AND COMPETITION COURSES, IT IS ESSENTIAL T9 HAVE ADEQUATE SPACE FOR CONDITIONING. A MINIMUM OF EIGHTEEN (18) MILES OF TRAILS OVER VARIED TERRAIN IS NECESSARY FOR THIS PURPOSE. NO EQUESTRIAN FACILITY OF THIS SCALE IS CAPABLE OF GENERATING THE REVENUES NECESSARY FOR BOTH THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE. UNDER THIS PROPOSAL THE DEVELOPERS WILL RECOVER THE COST OF THE LAND AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE CENTER AND OTHER FACILITIES FROM THE SALE 9F RESIDENTIAL TRACTS. ALL FACILITIES AND LAND WILL 43E TOTALLY DEBT FREE WHEN TURNED OVER TO THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLETION OF THE FIRST FILING. SINCE THERE WILL BE NO DEBT SERVICE ON ITS LAND OR IMPROVEMENTS, THE EQUES- TRIAN CENTER WILL HAVE -AN ECONOMICALLY VIABLE FUTURE UNDER _COMPETENT MANAGEMENT. PROPERTY OWNERS WILL HAVE DIRECT -GREEN BELT ACC±SS FROM EVERY TRACT VIA T-HE EQUESTRIAN TRAIL SYSTEM, TO THE MILTON RESERVOIR, A CLUBHOUSE AND RECREATION CENT±R, AND T-HE EQUESTRIAN CENTER ITSELF. THE NET EFFECT TO HOMEOWNERS WILL BE THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE A MANAGEABLE SIZE TRACT AT -AN AFFORDABLE COST IN A RURAL ATMOSPHERE, WHERE THEY CAN OWN AND MAINTAIN THEIR OWN HORSE(S) WITHOUT DIVERTING VALUABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND. IT IS IMPORT-ANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS PROJECT IS BEING PROPOSED WITHIN THE INTENT AND GUIDELINES OF THE WELD COUNTY _COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SEE ST-ATEMENT. O THE PROPOSED BEEBE DRAW FARMS -AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER PROJECT IS ONIQUE TO WELD COUNTY IN AT LEAST TWO RESPECTS. 1) IT IS T-HE ONLY PROJECT OF ITS KIND WHICH WILL PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY (BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION ANDSIZE) FOR OVER EIGHTEEN ( 18) MILES OF DEVELOPED HORSEBACK RIDING TRAILS. 2) COMPLETE STABLING, TRAINING AND COMPETITION FACILITI-ES PROVIDED WITH EQUESTRI-AN ACCESS TO EVERY -HOME SITE. (SEE EQUESTRIAN CENTER O) IN ADDITION TO THE EQUESTRIAN RELATED FACILITIES, OVER 700 ACRES OF WATER RELATED RECREATION WILL BE AVAIL-ABLE TO RESIDENTS AND GUESTS UN MILTON RESER- VOIR. THE PROPOSED BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER PROJECT OFFERS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO BETTER UTILIZE THE INHERENT QUALITIES OF THE SITE WHILE SATIS- FYING A GROWING DEMAND FOR EQUESTRIAN RELATED AND RECREATIONALLY ORIENTED FACILITIES IN THE FRONT RANGE OF COLORADO. THIS IS A TRULY SYMBIOTIC RELATION- SHIP SINCE NEITHER RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT NOR EQUESTRIAN FACILITY WOULD BE FEASIBLE WITHOUT THE OTHER. AN EQUESTRIAN FACILITY OF THE COMPLETENESS PLANNED, AS PREVIOUSLY STATE, WOULD NOT BE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE ON ITS OWN. THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE CONSIDERABLY ENHANCED BY THE GREAT EXPANSE OF OPEN SPACE NECESSARY FOR THE ENDURANCE TRAINING OF THE HORSES. OBVIOUSLY, MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTRACTED BY THE -HORSES, AND THE EQUESTRIAN TRAINING AND COMPETITION FACILITIES THEMSELVES. IN SUMMARY, THE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PORTION OF THE PROJECT WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FINANCIAL MEANS TO SUBSIDIZE AN AGRICULTURAL RELATED USE WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE. ▪ `" �' " gg • t 4� riS" ! tx7{ 1Y 41 & �' • t d i I tr.1 a 0'9( t , u d r ggr i ru ig P Fa t • of 4 ya y�4 t s=s r• ` 71 4; m�kS.tryayyi.! if S r �}d § {yi • r, •• a r � d•kx °1 : c.',:1/4.,C•:',:••t 3i,ti9��1Fd 1,�l rp +rIkt I ` xa v°f` ' i txLr� �GrT a 71 �H „lilt: at,F r P 3 $ yx"11,14 51 -°?'y' ' ,,, ,c-:.: .:; 'T �""sr �� ; �4. k.i uda.,1`* !kt: G7 „:"IM wr l ` .0.;1� I � fi •Y , 1▪ • • r �F r ,5 i� r�yy, +, i rM j.p �`A�ya Ki��i1,'P i} ! a •`1 ° §�A}�la ' i W• rr1�r' rr5 i 'r 9i +x adio i i, rat�z « . p4 i.. .�,,,.,, • . t'l • M U) +VJ '0:••*-4.,•;4-1,r.•—1Z • -titd . ,,,, 'y ' C A R' r s K7�iry'w' +Z N. i 1 PJ •.'

IT IS OWNED BY THE FARMERS RESERVOIR AND IRRIGATION COMPANY (FRICO) . A FISH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS PLANNED TO HOPEFULLY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF FISHING. FLOATING DOCKS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED NEAR THE PROPOSED RECREATION CENTER ON THE NORTH SHORE. LIMITED DREDGING WILL BE DONE IN THIS AREA TO IM- PROVE THE SHORELINE AND PROVIDE ADEQUATE WATER ACCESS DURING SEASONAL WATER LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS. THE DOCKS WILL BE FOR THE USE OF SMALL FISHING BOATS, SAIL BOATS AND WINDSURFERS. PICNIC SHELTERS AND PEDESTRIAN TRAILS WILL BE ADDED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LAKE AMENITIES. A RECREATION CENTER, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETED DURING THE THIRD PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT, WILL HAVE A SWIMMING POOL AND TENNIS COURTS AS WELL AS THE STANDARD INDOOR RECREATION AND MEETING FACILITIES. APPROXIMATELY 3,000 ACRES OF LAND HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE IN THE FORM OF GREEN- BELTS AND COMMON OPEN SPACE. THIS LAND WAS SELECTED ON THE BASIS OF SEVERAL CRITERIA. 1) THE MAJOR PORTION WAS RETAINED AS OPEN SPACE BECAUSE OF ITS VISUAL VULNERABILITY AND ITS POTENTIAL USE FOR THE RESIDENT HORSE POPULATION. 2) THE GREENBELT AREA NORTH OF THE LAKE WAS SELECTED BECAUSE OF ITS NATURAL POTENTIAL FOR WILDLIFE HABITAT. 3) THE GREENBELT CORRIDORS BETWEEN HOUSING CLUSTERS ARE NECESSARY FOR EQUESTRIAN ACCESS AS WELL AS ESTABLISHING A VISUAL BUFFER. AN AMBITIOUS TREE PLANTING PROGRAM IS SCHEDULED FOR THE GREEN BELT AREAS. W l CO � —, art_ �� ` A ' ` ,_s' • 9n mO1 0 /"{ - • � CJ --------- . _.

THERE -ARE APPROXIMATELY -600 TRACTS OF -AN AVERAGE SIZE' OF 2 ACRES PLANNED FOR THE PROJECT. 2 ACRES WAS SELECTED BECAUSE IT WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE RURAL ATMOSPHERE WITHOUT BEING A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM FOR THE OWNER. T-HIS SIZE WILL ALLOW 200 TO 300 -FEET OF SPACING BETWEEN HOUSES. LANDSCAPING ST-ANDARDS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO -CREATE A HARMONIOUS APPEARANCE. NO PERMANENT FACILITIES WILL BE ALLOWED FOR STABLING HORSES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. SEE STATEMENT 10 HOMES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE $100,000 PLUS RANGE. THERE WILL BE COVENANTS REGULATING LOCATION, SIZE AND DESIGN OF ALL BUILDINGS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE COMPATIBILITY AND TO ESTABLISH REASONABLE _LEVELS OF QUALITY. ON-SITE STORAGE AND USE WILL BE CAREFULLY OUTLINED AND ENFORCED. ONE OF THE PRIMARY MOTIVES HERE IS TO ELIMINAT-E THE POSSIBILITY FOR FUTURE RESIDENCE TO APPLY FOR A NON EONFORMING USE PERMIT THROUGH THE COUNTY WHICH WOULD BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE RESIDENTIAL AND EQUESTRIAN CONCEPT, I.I. DOG KENNELS. IN ADDITION TO THE SINGLE FAMILY TRACTS, UP TO 100 SMALL CONDOMINIUM UNITS MAY BE INCLUDED ADJACENT TO THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND THE RECREATION COMPLEX IF THERE IS A DEMONSTRATED NEED. THESE UNITS, IF BUILT, WILL BE LOW RISE MAXI- MUM OF 6-PLEX DESIGN, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLY TO EQUESTRIAN CENTER MEMBERS, PRIMARILY FOR THEIR CONVENIENCE, AND IN MOST CASES WOULD NOT BE THEIR PRIN- CIPAL RESIDENCE. TO SUMMARIZE, THE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AS PROPOSED, WILL CREATE A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE RECREATION AND RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS WITHOUT COM- PRIMISING THE AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL OF THE AREA. THE PEOPLE AND THE WELD COUNTY GOVERNMENT OVER THE LONG TERM WILL BENEFIT FINANCIALLY AND AESTHETICALLY. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT THE BEEBE DRAW LAND COMPANY CONSISTS OF A WORKING RANCH OF APPROXIMATELY 5,400 ACRES OF DEEDED LAND, AND APPROXIMATELY 2,285 ACRES LEASED FROM THE FARMERS RESERVOIR AND IRRIGATION COMPANY (FRICO) WHICH INCLUDES THE SURFACE USE OF ADJACENT MILTON RESERVOIR. APPROXIMATELY 1,100 ACRES OF THE DEEDED LAND ARE PRESENTLY USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES, INCLUDING 800 ACRES IRRIGATED OR SUBIRRIGATED. THE LAND CURRENTLY USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES WILL REMAIN IN ITS CURRENT USE, AND THUS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE FOLLOWING ANALYSIS. THE PROPOSAL FOR BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER (BDF & EC) INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY 4,328 ACRES, WITH APPROXIMATELY 3,000 ACRES TO BE LEFT IN OPEN SPACE AND RECREATIONAL GREENBELT WHERE THE 300 ACRE EQUESTRIAN CENTER WILL BE LOCATED. THE REMAINING ACREAGE WILL CONSIST OF RESIDENTIAL TRACTS, AND ROADWAYS. GEOLOGY THE BEEBE DRAW LAND COMPANY PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE WEST-CENTRAL PART OF THE DENVER BASIN. MOST OF THE PROPERTY UNDER STUDY IS UNDERLAIN BY THE UPPER CRETACEOUS LARIMIE FORMATION. THE LARIMIE FORMATION CONSISTS OF CLAYSTONE, SANDSTONE, AND MAJOR SEAMS OF COAL. THE UPPER LAYER OF THE LARIMIE FORMATION IS KNOWN TO BE ABOUT 400 FEET THICK. BEEBE DRAW, ALONG WITH BEEBE DRAW SEEP CANAL, IS ABOUT ONE-HALF TO TWO MILES WIDE AND 50-100 FEET DEEP. EVIDENCE INDICATES THE ANCESTRIAL SOUTH PLATTE RIVER FLOWED THROUGH THE VALLEY OF BEEBE DRAW. THIS IS EVIDENT FROM THE DEPOSITS OF COARSE COBBLE AND BOULDER DEPOSITS IN THE BOTTOM OF PLEISTOCENE ERA BED (OGO) . THE UPPER MANTEL OR SURFACE GEOLOGY CONSISTS OF ELOIAN DUNE SANDS. THIS DUNE SAND COVERS RECENT ALLUVIAL SEDIMENTS DISCUSSED IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH. THE DUNE SANDS RANGE FROM 20 TO 50 FEET IN THICKNESS OVER THE SITE. A GEOLOGIC HAZARD IS DEFINED IN H.B. 1401 AS "A GEOLOGIC PHENOMENON WHICH IS SO ADVERSE TO PAST, CURRENT, OR FORESEEABLE CONSTRUCTION OR LAND USE AS TO CONSTITUTE A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY OR TO PROPERTY. " SEVERAL OF THE SPECIFIC HAZARDS LISTED ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS LOCATION BECAUSE OF ITS GENTLE TOPOGRAPHY. A. SEISMIC ACTIVITY - ALL OF COLORADO IS IN SEISMIC RISK ZONE 1 (MINOR DAMAGE) . THERE IS NO HISTORY OR EVIDENCE OF SEISMIC ACTIVITY IN THIS VICINITY. B. GROUND SUBSIDENCE (HYDROCOMPACTION) - GROUND SURFACE COLLAPSE CAN OCCUR IN WIND DEPOSITED SILTS AS A RESULT OF EXCESSIVE WETTING OF DRY SOILS WITH A HIGH VOID RATIO. THE EOLIAN DEPOSITS ON THE SURFACE OF THIS SITE ARE NOT EXPECTED TO POSE ANY HAZARD OF THIS NATURE. C. EXPANSIVE SOIL AND ROCK - NO CONTACT WITH EXPANSIVE SOILS OR ROCK ARE ANTICIPATED DUE TO THE THICKNESS OF THE OVERBURDEN. NO GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS EXIST THAT WOULD PRECLUDE THE USE OF THIS SITE FOR RESIDENTIAL HOME SITES. SOILS (SEE REPORT @ AND VICINITY MAP SHEET 1 OF 2) VEGETATION GENERALLY, MOST OF BDF & EC CONSISTS OF RANGELAND, EXCEPT FOR THE AREAS IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE RESERVOIR. THE VEGETATION ON THE MAJORITY OF THE RANGELAND ON THE SOILS DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE NATIVE GRASSES, INCLUDING SAND BLUESTEM, SAND REEDGRASS, SWITCHGRASS, NEEDLE AND THREAD, LITTLE BLUESTEM, AND BLUE GAMMA. AS RANGE CONDITIONS DETERIORATE, THE SAND BLUESTEM, SWITCHGRASS, SAND REEDGRASS, AND LITTLE BLUESTEM DECREASE, AND SAND SAGE INCREASES. UNDESIRABLE WEEDS AND ANNUALS INVADE AS RANGE CONDITIONS BECOME POORER. WINDBREAKS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANTINGS ARE FAIRLY WELL TO NOT WELL SUITED TO THESE SOILS. BLOWING SAND AND LOW AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY ARE THE PRINCIPAL HAZARDS IN ESTABLISHING TREES AND SHRUBS. THE SOIL IS SO LOOSE THAT TREES SHOULD BE PLANTED IN SHALLOW FURROWS AND VEGETATION MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE ROWS. SUPPLEMENTAL IRRIGATION IS NEEDED TO INSURE SURVIVAL. TREES THAT ARE BEST SUITED ARE ROCKY MOUNTAIN JUNIPER, EASTERN RED CEDAR, PONDEROSA PINE, SIBERIAN ELM, AND ASPENS. THE SHRUBS BEST SUITED ARE SKUNKBUSH SUMAC, LILAC AND SIBERIAN PEASHRUB. ONCE ESTABLISHED, LAWNS, SHRUBS AND TREES PLANTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH RESIDEN- TIAL DEVELOPMENT GROW WELL. THE SECOND GENERAL ECOSYSTEM AT BDF & EC IS THE FLOOD PLAIN AREA SURROUNDING MILTON RESERVOIR OF WHICH IS IN THE GREENBELT AREA. NATIVE VEGETATION HERE INCLUDES SWITCHGRASS, LITTLE BLUESTEM SAND REEDGRASS, PRAIRIE CORDGRASS, SLENDER WHEATGRASS, ALKALI SCATON, SALTGRASS, SEDGE AND RUSH. EXISTING TREES INCLUDE STANDS OF COTTONWOODS, WILLOWS AND ELM. WILDLIFE THE MAJORITY OF WILDLIFE AT BDF & EC IS FOUND IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE RESER- VOIR. DUCKS AND GEESE ARE COMMON ALONG THE RESERVOIR. FISH CONSIST PRIMARILY OF CARP. IN THE RANGELANDS CAN BE FOUND JACKRABBITS, RATTLESNAKES AND DEER. THE DEER ARE GENERALLY FOUND TRAVELLING ALONG THE DRAWS OR IN THE TREED AREA NORTH OF THE RESERVOIR, WHICH WILL BE KEPT OPEN AS GREENBELT AREAS. HYDROLOGY GROUNDWATER OCCURS IN ALL THREE GEOLOGIC FORMATIONS/DEPOSITS WHICH UNDERLIE THE BDF & EC PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE LARIMIE FORMATION, THE BEEBE DRAW ALLUVIUM, AND THE EOLIAN SAND DUNE DEPOSITS. GROUNDWATER WITHIN THE PROPERTY FLOWS GENERALLY NORTHWARD ACROSS THE PROPERTY TOWARDS THE PLATTE RIVER. LOCALLY GROUNDWATER FLOWS TOWARD THE CENTER OF BEEBE DRAW FROM BOTH THE EAST AND WEST SIDES. WATER CONTAINED IN THE ALLUVIUM WOULD BE CONSIDERED TRIBUTARY TO THE PLATTE RIVER. AS THE SLOPE MAP INDICATES, THE PROPERTY RANGES FROM VERY FLAT ACROSS THE RESERVOIR, TO GENTLY ROLLING SLOPES TO THE WEST OF THE RESERVOIR OF UP TO APPROXIMATELY 8 PERCENT. RESOURCE AREAS RESOURCES ON THE BEEBE DRAW FARMS PROPERTY CONSIST PRIMARILY OF OIL AND GAS DEPOSITS. THERE ARE 9 EXISTING WELLS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AREA AND 20 IN THE GREENBELT. THE MAJORITY, OR 85 PERCENT, ARE GAS WELLS, AND THE OTHER 15 PERCENT ARE GAS AND OIL WELLS. UP TO 21 ADDITIONAL POSSIBLE SITES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR FUTURE WELLS ON BDF & EC, PRIMARILY GAS, MANY OF THESE ADDI- TIONAL WELL SITES IF DEVELOPED, WILL BE IN A NORTHEASTERLY PATTERN ACROSS THE REMAINING PROPERTY, AND AWAY FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. EXISTING RECREATION USES ON THE PROPERTY ARE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MILTON RESERVOIR, AND CONSIST PRIMARILY OF DUCK AND GOOSE HUNTING, AND WATER RECREA- TION. THE DUCK CLUB WILL CONTINUE TO LEASE THE SOUTHWESTERN BANKS OF THE RESERVOIR FROM BEEBE DRAW LAND COMPANY FOR DUCK HUNTING. SMALL MOTORBOATS UP TO 5 HORSEPOWER ARE ALLOWED ON THE RESERVOIR WITH A TOTAL PROHIBITION ON WATER SKIING. THERE IS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF FISHING, ALTHOUGH CARP IS THE DOMINANT SPECIES IN THE RESERVOIR AT THE PRESENT TIME. THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WILL INCLUDE 18 MILES OF CROSS COUNTRY HORSE RIDING TRAILS ORIGINATING IN THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER WHICH WILL OCCUPY 300 ACRES OF THE GREENBELT AREA. THERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 3,000 ACRES OF GREENBELT/OPEN SPACE, PLUS IMPROVED WATER RECREATION ON THE RESERVOIR FOR NON-MOTORIZED WATER SPORTS. DOCKS WILL BE BUILT FOR LIMITED BOATING USES, SUCH AS SAILBOATS, WINDSURFERS, AND 5 HORSEPOWER FISHING BOATS. THE LEASE WITH THE DUCK CLUB WILL BE CONTINUED. IN ADDITION, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES INCLUDING TENNIS COURTS AND A SWIMMING POOL ARE PLANNED TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN STAGES FOR RESI- DENTS OF BEEBE DRAW FARMS. UTILITIES AND ENGINEERING MANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF REGULATORY AGENCIES DEAL WITH THE VARIOUS UTILI- TIES AND SERVICES. AREAS ADDRESSED INCLUDE : AVAILABILITY, GENERAL COSTS, ACCESSIBILITY AND PHASING. ALL OF THE UTILITY COMPANIES THAT SERVICE THE PROJECT AREA HAVE BEEN CONTACTED AND ARE REPORTED BELOW. BEEBE DRAW FARMS PLANS TO DEVELOP THE APPROXIMATE 600 TRACT UNITS IN SIX PHASES WITH THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AS PART OF THE FIRST PHASE. ALSO AS PART OF THE FIRST PHASE, THE MAJOR COLLECTOR ROAD WILL BE CONSTRUCTED TO SERVE BOTH THE FIRST FILING OF 2 ACRE RESIDENTIAL TRACTS AND THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER. UTILITIES AND SERVICES WILL BE PLANNED AND COORDINATED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE PROPOSED PHASES. THE FOLLOWING IS A DISCUSSION OF OUR PROPOSED PLANS RELATIVE TO EACH UTILITY AND SERVICE. WATER THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL BE SERVED BY THE CENTRAL WELD COUNTY WATER DISTRICT. ANY NECESSARY STORAGE AND FIRE HYDRANTS WILL BE SUPPLIED BY THE CENTRAL WELD WATER DISTRICT. INCLUDED AS ITEM 12 ARE LETTERS FROM CENTRAL WELD COUNTY WATER DISTRICT INDICATING THEIR WILLINGNESS AND ABILITY TO SERVE BEEBE DRAW FARMS. SEWER ON-SITE SEPTIC SYSTEMS FOR EACH TRACT ARE PROPOSED WITH AN ANTICIPATED AVERAGE FLOW OF 400 GALLONS PER DAY PER HOUSING UNIT. THE AVERAGE SIZE SEPTIC TANK IS ANTICIPATED TO BE 1250 GALLONS (MINIMUM IS 1000 GALLONS) . ABSORPTION AREA FOR EACH LEACH FIELD SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 1000 SQUARE FEET. SEE PERCOLATION TESTS AND STATEMENT FROM ARIX 13 . STREETS APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES OF INTERIOR STREETS THAT WILL SERVE THE APPROXIMATELY SIX HUNDRED RESIDENTIAL TRACTS AND THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER WILL REMAIN PRIVATE, OWNED BY THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION. CONSTRUCTION OF THE STREETS WILL BE GRAVEL SURFACING BUILT TO WELD COUNTY STANDARDS AND MAINTAINED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER 'S ASSOCIATION. TWO WIDTHS OF GRAVEL SURFACING ARE PROPOSED, 80 FOOT COLLECTOR ROADS AND 60 FOOT LOCAL ROADS, SEE FIGURE 22 FOR DETAILED CROSS- SECTION. FIGURE 23 SHOWS A STANDARD CUL-DE-SAC AND A ONE-WAY CUL-DE-SAC, AS APPLICABLE. WIND EROSION IS OF MAJOR CONCERN DUE TO THE SANDY NATURE OF THE OVERBURDEN. SHOULDERS OF ROADS NOT RECEIVING GRAVEL, AND BORROW DITCHES, WILL BE RESEEDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE'S SOIL CONSER- VATION SERVICE. SEE EXHIBIT 10 FOR LETTER FROM THE BRIGHTON DISTRICT SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE. DUST CONDITIONS ON MAJOR ROADS WILL BE MONITORED WHEN VEHICLE TRAVEL EXCEEDS 200 TRIPS PER DAY, AND ABATEMENT MEASURES WILL BE TAKEN AS NEEDED. USED OIL OR EMULSIFIED ASPHALT WILL BE SPRAYED ON GRAVELLED SURFACES AS REQUIRED TO CONTROL DUST AND FUGITIVE PARTICLE EMISSIONS. ALL MAINTENANCE OF ROADS AND EQUESTRIAN TRIALS WILL BE THE CONTINUED RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROPERTY OWNER'S ASSOCIATION. SEE EXHIBIT 14 . DRAINAGE DUE TO THE HIGH PERMEABILITY OF THE EOLIAN SOILS, DETENTION PONDS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. THE LARGE TRACTS, GRAVEL ROADS AND THE HIGH PERCENTAGE OF OPEN SPACE WILL NOT APPRECIABLY CHANGE THE STORM WATER RUNOFF CHARACTERISTICS.

(SEE STATEMENT 13 ) ROAD INTERSECTIONS AND DRIVEWAY ENTRANCES WILL HAVE CULVERT CROSSINGS TO ALLOW PASSAGE OF RUNOFF WATER TO MINIMIZE LOCAL FLOODING. DRAINAGE EASEMENTS BE- TWEEN LOTS WHERE NECESSARY WILL BE PROVIDED. AREAS CLOSE TO MILTON RESERVOIR AND THE PLATTE VALLEY CANAL WILL HAVE REVERSE SLOPING TO PREVENT DIRECT DISCHARGE INTO THEM SO AS TO PREVENT THE DEPOSITION OF SILT AND DEBRIS IN THE RESERVOIR. MUCH OF THE RUNOFF WILL BE RELEASED THROUGH GRASSED AREAS, THUS NATURALLY MINIMIZING THE AMOUNT OF SEDIMENTATION MIGRATING TOWARD MILTON RESERVOIR. THE CRITICAL ELEVATION FOR THE PROBABLE MAXIMUM FLOOD THROUGH BEEBE DRAW APPEARS TO BE ELEVATION 4810 BASED ON U.S. G.S. DATUM. THEREFORE, NO FIRST FLOOR HOUSING ELEVATIONS WILL BE PERMITTED BELOW 4812. THESE ELEVATIONS WILL NEED TO BE FURTHER VERIFIED WITH EACH PLAT FILING, ALONG WITH OTHER INFORMA- TION DISCUSSED IN THIS SECTION. TELEPHONE MOUNTAIN BELL SERVICE WILL BE HANDLED BY ITS GREELEY ENGINEERING STAFF AND THE PHONE COMPANY PROPOSES A MAIN EXTENSION FROM THE LASALLE STATION LOCATED APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MILES FROM BEEBE DRAW FARMS. COST OF A MAIN EXTENSION AND SERVICE TO THE SUBDIVISION WILL BE BORNE INITIALLY BY THE DEVELOPER. THERE ARE SEVERAL OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR THE INITIAL MAIN EXTENSIONS WHICH INVOLVE THE TYPE OF SERVICE (FROM 1 PARTY TO 4 PARTY LINES) .

Box 2020 Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Urich: This letter is in addition to the letter of R.L. Ranold dated April 24, 1984 concerning the Beebe Draw Farms and Equestrian Center. It is my understanding that you have requested the facilities to be installed on the front lot lines. We are thus requesting that we be granted a ten (10) foot easement on all front lot lines and five (5) foot on each side of all side lot lines. Before the design can be made we will need a deposit of $2.00 per lot from the developer. If the project is completed these costs will then become a part of the contract. All of the estimated costs for the installation of facilities in the project must be paid in advance of material purchase or con- struction. These will be refunded in the amounts allowed by our Line Extension Policy. A copy of this policy is enclosed for your information. I am also enclosing sample copies of our Developers Contract for both Indeterminate Service and Street Lighting. It is possible for this to be a joint trench with Mountain Bell but both of us need to be aware that this is your request so we can obtain the necessary agreements and coordination. If it is possible at all we would like two copies of the final plat before we start the design work. Also if there is a need for three phase power any place within the development. If you have any questions please feel free to call me.

INDOOR STABLING WILL BE CLOSE TO THE ARENA. A MINIMUM OF 40 STALLS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE FIRST STABLE BUILDING IN THE FIRST PHASE, WITH 20 12' STALLS BUILT ON EACH SIDE OF A 12' WIDE AISLE. EACH STALL WILL HAVE ACCESS TO INDIVIDUAL 12 ' X 36 ' PADDOCK OUTSIDE RUNS. TEN ADDITIONAL 12' X 12' ROOMS WILL BE BUILT OFF THE CENTRAL AISLE FOR TWO WASH-BOXES, TWO LOCKABLE TACK- ROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS, A VETERINARY ROOM, AN OFFICE, A TOOL ROOM AND A FEED ROOM. TWO SHUT-OFF GATES ARE PLANNED FOR THE INTERIOR AISLE TO ALLOW UP TO EIGHT ISOLATION STALLS. ADDITIONAL STABLE BLOCKS WILL BE BUILT IN UNITS OF APPROXIMATELY 30 STALLS IN SEPARATE BUILDINGS AS NEEDED. THE AREA WILL BE WELL LANDSCAPED WITH TREES AND GROUND COVER TO ELIMINATE DUST. THE PROJECTED PERMANENT CAPACITY OF THE CENTER BY THE 1987/8 SEASON WILL BE 200 HORSES, WITH ALL NECESSARY FACILITIES. THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER SITE COULD EVENTUALLY BE EXPANDED TO HANDLE SEVERAL TIMES AS MANY HORSES. THERE WILL BE A GRAVELED SURFACED PARKING AREA OFF OF THE ENTRANCE ROAD CAPABLE OF HANDLING ANTICIPATED VEHICLE LOADS. HORSE TRAILERS WILL HAVE SEPARATE PARKING ARIAS, WHICH WILL ACCOMMMODATE THE TRAFFIC FOR LARGER SHOWS OR CLINICS. THE PARKING AREAS WILL BE PROPERLY DRAINED TO PREVENT EROSION. OUTSIDE PASTURING PADDOCKS (NO. 3, FIGURE (1.7)) FOUR 300' X 60' PADDOCKS WILL BE LOCATED NORTHWEST OF THE ARENA AND BARN AREA (NO. 2) . THEY WILL BE FENCED SO THAT THERE IS ONE COMMON GATE TO TWO PAD- DOCKS . LEAN-TO WEATHERING SHELTERS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE COVER FOR EACH PADDOCK. HAY STORAGE (NO. 4, FIGURE 7 ) A METAL BUILDING WILL PROVIDE STORAGE FOR BEDDING, HAY AND SPECIAL FEED, AS WELL AS HOUSING FOR ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT, AND AN AREA FOR A FARRIER ' S SHOP. THIS STORAGE AREA CAN BE EXTENDED AS NEEDED. MULTI-PURPOSE OUTSIDE ARENA (NO. 5, FIGURE 17 ) THIS 300' X 150' ELLIPTICAL ARENA WILL BE LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE TWO TRAINING CLASSES, AND WILL ALSO INCLUDE CATTLE CHUTES FOR ROPING AND AMPLE SPACE FOR JUMPING AND DRESSAGE SHOWS. IT WILL DOUBLE AS A WARM-UP AREA. SPECTATOR SEATING IS NOT REQUIRED AT THIS LOCATION AS THE ARENA IS LOCATED IN A NATURAL AMPHITHEATER. TRAIL RIDES (SEE VICINITY MAP, SHEET 2 OF 2) THE TRAILS COMPRISE OVER 18 MILES OF VARIED RIDING CONDITIONS AND RUN THROUGH- OUT THE AREA WEST OF THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER-LINKING ALL OF THE AREAS OF BEEBE DRAW FARMS WITH THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER VIA A BRIDGE AT (6) AND A FORD AT (7) . THESE PROVIDE THE NECESSARY ENDURANCE TRAINING, AND ARE ALSO GOOD FOR THOSE RIDERS JUST WISHING TO ESCAPE THE CONFINES OF THE TRAINING RING WALLS OR THE JUMPS AND FENCES IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE CENTER. WITH THESE TRAIL RIDES COMPRISING AN INTEGRAL AND IMPORTANT PART OF THE BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN CENTER CONCEPT, ZONING PROBLEMS FOR RECREATIONAL RIDING ENCOUNTERED IN OTHER AREAS WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM. THEY AFFORD THE LONGEST AND AMONG THE MORE SCENIC TRAIL RIDES IN COLORADO, PROVIDING NOT ONLY FUN FOR THE CASUAL RIDER, BUT PRACTICAL EXERCISE FOR BOTH HORSE AND RIDER, AND THE ESSENTIAL MILEAGE FOR ENDURANCE TRAINING. THE INTRODUCTION OF HORSES TO OBSTACLES WILL BE INCLUDED ON CERTAIN SECTIONS OF TRAILS, AND WATER-TRAINING CAN BE PERFORMED AT THE FORD (7) AND SURROUNDINGS. THE NATURAL FOOTING WILL PROVIDE SAFE , EVEN SURFACES, IDEAL FOR THE PREVENTION OF TENDON AND HOOF INJURIES OFTEN ENCOUNTERED ON OTHER TRAIL RIDE SURFACES. AN AVERAGE TRAIL RIDE IN THE STATE IS APPROXI- MATELY 11 TO 12 MILES IN LENGTH. THE GROWING POPULARITY OF THIS EXERCISE IS REFLECTED BY THE U.S. INTERIOR DEPARTMENT'S NATIONAL TRAILS SYSTEMS ' FIGURES WHICH SHOW THAT THE 102 TRAILS AVAILABLE IN 1981 HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO 450 IN 1983. CROSS COUNTRY COURSE (NOS. 10 THROUGH 12, FIGURE (f7 ) A TWO MILE COURSE HAS BEEN PLANNED WITH 17 FIXED OBSTACLES WHICH WILL COMPLI- MENT THE GREENBELT RECREATION AREA. THE VARIED COURSE WILL RUN CLOCK-WISE FROM THE START AREA (10) TO THE FIRST FENCE (11) , THEN AROUND LAKE CHRISTINA AND THE OLD HOMESTEAD, TO THE FINAL FENCE ( 12) AND BACK TO THE FINISH AREA ( 10) . THE CONTROL AREA WILL BE LOCATED ABOUT 100 YARDS EAST OF THE OFFICE BUILDING (1) AND ADJACENT TO THE START AND FINISH (10) . REINING POLES (NO. 13, FIGURE (1-7,)) REINING AND LOG SKIDDING POLES WILL BE SITED IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE PADDOCKS (3) , AND CONSIST OF FIXED UPRIGHT POLES PROVIDING FOR WESTERN AND DRAFT HORSE TRAINING. EARTH BANKS (NO. 14, FIGURE 17 ) LOCATED NORTHEAST OF THE REINING POLES (13) AND AROUND THE 4,800' ELEVATION, THESE ARE DESCENDING AND ASCENDING EARTH BANKS BUILT INTO THE EXISTING GRADES FOR STRENGTH TRAINING AND JUMPING PRACTICE . IN ADDITION, THIS AREA WILL CONTAIN A 12' WIDE X 150' LONG JUMPING LANE FOR GYMNASTIC WORK FOR BOTH HORSE AND RIDER, TWO CIRCULAR 35' DIAMETER ENCLOSED MENAGES FOR LUNGING AND GROUND WORK, AND AN 1/2 MILE BASIC OBSTACLE COURSE FOR CARRIAGE AND WAGON DRIVING. DRESSAGE ARENAS (NOS. 15 THROUGH 16, FIGURE (-I)) TWO IDENTICAL FULL SIZED DRESSAGE ARENAS, BOTH 60 METERS X 20 METERS, WITH JUDGES STANDS AT THE SOUTH END OF EACH. THE FOOTING WILL BE NATURAL SAND. STADIUM JUMPING COURSE (NO. 17, FIGURE (D) ONE UNFENCED 150 YARD X 150 YARD OUTSIDE STADIUM COURSE, TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OUTSIDE ARENA (5) FOR SHOWS AND AS AN EXTRA TRAINING AREA. STATISTICS ON EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITIES (SEE FIGURES 19 AND g) BOARDING STABLES AND RELATED BUSINESSES WITHIN A 40 MILE RADIUS OF BEEBE DRAW, HORSE ORIENTATED BUSINESS HAVE IN CREASED 107% SINCE 1975. THE MOST NOTICEABLE GROWTH HAS BEEN IN THE FOLLOW- ING: TACK SHOPS, FARRIERS, HORSE DEALERS AND BREEDERS, RIDING ACADEMIES AND TRAINERS, AND THE LARGEST INCREASE HAS BEEN IN BOARDING STABLES WITH 109 NOW IN OPERATION. THE AVERAGE CAPACITY OF THESE EXISTING STABLES (BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE) IS 28 HORSES, WITH THE BETTER FACILITIES OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY AND WITH LONG WAITING LISTS. THE BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN CENTER WILL START OPERATIONS WITH INDOOR STABLING FOR 40 HORSES AND UNLIMITED OUTSIDE BOARDING. WITH BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN CENTER'S CENTRAL LOCATION IN THE FRONT RANGE HORSE COMMUNITY, IT WILL BE READILY ACCESSIBLE TO A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF HORSE OWNERS AND POTENTIAL BOARDERS. HORSE SOCIETIES AND MEMBERS THE HORSE POPULATION IN COLORADO HAS GROWN 147% IN THE PERIOD 1978 - 1982, WITH TOTAL NUMBERS NOW ESTIMATED AT 172,000. THE NUMBER OF HORSE SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIATIONS HAS ALSO GROWN ACCORDINGLY, WITH 59 (+84%) NOW THRIVING ALONG THE NORTHERN FRONT RANGE. BETWEEN 1982 AND 1983, THESE 59 SOCIETIES REPORTED AN OVERALL MEMBERSHIP INCREASE OF +18%, WITH ACTUAL MEMBERSHIP REPORTED AT 25,761. THE SOCIETIES CAN BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR MAJOR GROUPS, ALL OF WHICH SHOW STRONG MEMBERSHIP GROWTH: WESTERN RIDING (+9%) , ENGLISH RIDING (+12%) , YOUTH AND 4H (+17%) AND SPECIALITY BREEDS (+9%) . ALL OF THE GROUPS ARE BENEFITING FROM NEW SUPPORTERS AND RIDERS WHO ARE COMING INTO THE AREA AT A STEADY RATE. HORSE SHOWS WITHIN A 40 MILE RADIUS OF THE BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN CENTER HORSE SHOWS HAVE INCREASED FROM 234 IN 1981 TO 280 IN 1983 (+19%) . THE AVERAGE COMPETITOR AT A WESTERN SHOW NOW TRAVELS A ROUND TRIP OF 108 MILES PER SHOW, WHILE ENGLISH SHOW COUNTERPARTS TRAVEL AN AVERAGE OF 260 MILES FOR ROUND TRIP. CURRENT ACTIVE COMPETITORS ON THE FRONT RANGE ( IN 1983) , HOWEVER, LIVED ONLY AN AVERAGE OF 110 ROUND TRIP MILES FROM BEEBE DRAW. AN AVERAGE WESTERN SHOW ATTRACTS 83 ENTRANTS ON THE NORTHERN FRONT RANGE, WHILE AN AVERAGE ENGLISH SHOW DRAWS 95 COMPETITORS. CONCLUSION THE RAPID GROWTH OF ALL EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITIES AND OF ACTUAL HORSEMEN SHOW THAT THE FRONT RANGE IS BECOMING ONE OF THE MAJOR HORSE AREAS IN THE COUNTRY. A PROPOSED MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR C.S.U. EQUINE TEACHING FACILITY IS REPORTED TO BE STARTING AT FORT COLLINS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WITH THE REASSURING KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AREA IS NOW RECOGNIZED LOCALLY, REGIONALLY AND NATIONALLY AS A NEW IMPORTANT U.S. HORSE CENTER. THE DAY TO DAY OPERATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN CENTER WILL BE HANDLED INITIALLY BY THE SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION CURRENTLY RUNNING THE TROUT CREEK EQUESTRIAN CENTER AT FAIRPLAY, COLORADO, PRESENTLY AFFILIATED WITH BEEBE DRAW. THIS CENTER HAS RECEIVED RECOGNITION OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS FROM INTERNATIONAL AND OLYMPIC RIDERS AND OFFICIALS FROM VARIOUS U.S.A. , MEXICAN AND EUROPEAN SOCIETIES. IT HAS BEEN INFLUENTIAL IN HELPING TO CREATE A NEW "DEFINED AREA" WITHIN THE UNITED STATES COMBINED TRAINING ORGANIZATION, WITH THIS NEW "AREA" BEING CENTERED ON THE FRONT RANGE AND SPREADING OUT TO FIVE NEIGHBORING STATES. THE ADVANCED PLANNING REQUIRED BY INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS REQUIRES THAT HORSE SHOW DATES BE RESERVED AS MUCH AS THREE OR FOUR YEARS AHEAD. TROUT CREEK EQUESTRIAN CENTER CURRENTLY MEETS ALL OF THE STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY TO HAVE EVENTS BOOKED AND IS LISTED AS THE HOSTS OF THE USCTA AREA IX PRELIMINARY AND TRAINING CHAMPION- SHIPS IN 1986. IF THE BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN COURSE IS COMPLETED IN 1985 THESE DATES WILL BE SHIFTED TO BEEBE DRAW. FURTHER RECOGNITION OF THE AREA WAS RECEIVED FROM THE USCTA WHEN THEY HELD THEIR ANNUAL CONVENTION IN COLORADO THIS PAST JANUARY, MARKING THE FIRST TIME IN ITS 15 YEAR HISTORY THAT IT MOVED FROM THE EAST COAST. THERE IS A STRONG NEED FOR A FIRST CLASS COMPLETE HORSE OPERATION IN WELD COUNTY. WITH ITS' IDEAL CONDITIONS IN TERMS OF ALTITUDE, TERRAIN, CLIMATE AND NEARBY HORSE PEOPLE, A MAJOR PROJECT LIKE THE PLANNED BEEBE DRAW EQUESTRIAN CENTER COULD BECOME ONE OF THE FINEST AND MOST COMPLETE FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. 00 W m D • C 1. r � e Z �\� O v" S // J CC v I_ 1)=J e:: F— !

THIS APPLICATION IS FOR PUD ZONING INVOLVING SEVERAL COMPATIBLE AND MUTUALLY SUPPORTING USES ON APPROXIMATELY 4300 ACRES. THE INITIAL USE AND ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL REASONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT IS FOR A COMPLETE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND TRAINING FACILITY FOR ALL TYPES OF EQUINE USES, INCLUDING A CROSS COUNTRY COURSE AND APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES OF RIDING TRAILS. THEIJEVELOPERS SPENT ALMOST TWO YEARS IN 1978 AND 13979 IN SEARCHING FOR A SUITABLE RANCH FOR THIS PROPOSED EQUESTRIAN ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM NORTRUST FARM MANAGEMENT AND FROM SEVER-AL FARM AND RANCH REALTORS. WE HAD REVIEWED THE WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE IAN AT THE TIME OUR PURCHASE AND BELIEVE THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INT-ENT OF THE WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE MANY REASONS LISTED -BELOW. 1. PRESERVATION OF VALUABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND IS LISTED THROUGHOUT THE PLAN AS THE NUMBS-R ONE CONSIDERATION (PAGES 1, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 27) . THE DEVELOPER WILL STILL OWN CONSIDERABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND ADJACENT TO THE PUD THAT WE ARE NOW FARMING AND WILL CONTINUE TO FARM. THE LAND INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSED PUD IS NOT SUITABLE FOR FARMING. IF THE AREA REQUIRED FOR A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE AND NATURE WAS LOCATED ADJACENT TO ANY NEARBY CITY, IT WOULD REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF CONSIDERABLE PRIME AGRICULTURAL LAND FROM PRODUCTION SINCE MOST OF THE SMALL CITIES IN THE AREA ARE LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE BEST FARM LAND. 2. THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER, WHICH IS THE ESSENTIAL AND MAJOR PROPOSED USE OF THIS PROPERTY, WILL CERTAINLY BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AGRICUL- TURAL AREA, BUT WOULD BE TOT-ALLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH CITY OR MUNICIPAL USES, AND WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY CITY ZONING ORDINANCES. THE NECESSARY EXPANDED USE OF OPEN SPACE TO CREATE THE REQUIRED ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS CONCEPT WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE WITHIN ANY CITY 'S FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AREA AS IT WOULD CONSUME AND ELIMINATE TOO MUCH OF THE AREA THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR TYPICAL FUTURE URBAN EXPANSION. THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY AND WILL BE BUFFERED ON ALL SIDES BY GREEN BELT. NO RESIDENTIAL TRACTS WILL FRONT ON COUNTY ROADS. NO EXISTING HOUSES WILL BE WITHIN 2,000 FEET OF ANY RESIDENTIAL TRACT. 3. QUOTING FROM THE PLAN, THIS LOW DENSITY DEVELOPMENT FITS THE DEFINITION OF "A BALANCED AND ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT" (PAGE VI) FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS OF WELD COUNTY" (PAGE VII) . "IT IS A PROUD STATEMENT OF AND HOW WE WANT TO LIVE." "IN SHORT, IT IS A GUIDEWAY FOR FUTURE ACTIVI- TIES AND CHANGES WHICH ARE CERTAINLY TO COME." 4. ON PAGE IX, THE PLAN DESCRIBES A LOGIC OF LAND USE AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WHICH PROVIDES THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY (PRESENT AND FUTURE) WITH A BALANCED AND ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT. THE PROPOSED PLAN FOR THE BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER CERTAINLY ACCOMPLISHES THIS GOAL THROUGH ITS 18 MILES OF EQUESTRIAN TRAILS, THE UNIQUE WATER RECREATION POTENTIAL, AND THE APPROXIMATELY 3000 ACRES OF COMMON GREEN BELT AND RECREATION AREAS. 5. THIS IS A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF AGRICULTURALLY ORIENTED EQUESTRIAN AND LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USE WHICH NEEDS A LARGE RURAL AREA, BUT ONE WHICH WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH PRESENT SURROUNDING AGRICULTURAL USES AND ZONING AND WHICH WOULD NOT REMOVE ANY PRODUCTIVE LAND FROM AGRICULTURAL USE. 6. THE NATURAL RESOURCE OF MILTON RESERVOIR CONSISTING OF AN ADDITIONAL 2000+ ACRES OF RECREATION AREA (FOR A COMBINED PROJECT TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 5000 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION) IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE "QUALITY OF LIFE" ASPECT OF THIS PROPOSAL, AND IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO FIND SUCH A RESOURCE -IN OR ADJACENT TO ANY EXISTING MUNICI- PALITY. 7. IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR THIS PROJECT TO BE CONNECTED TO A MUNICIPALITY BECAUSE ADEQUATE UTILITIES AND SERVICES ARE PRESENTLY AVAILABLE TO THE PROPERTY. THUS, THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE CREATION OF ANY NEW DISTRICTS OR UTILITIES AND THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY COSTS OF "URBANIZATION OF THE FACILI- TIES" (AS QUESTIONED BY THE PLANNING STAFF REVIEW) . IN FACT, BY INCREAS- ING THE TAX-PAYING AND RATE PAYING BASE FOR THESE EXISTING UTILITIES AND SERVICES, BOTH THE UTILITY COMPANIES AND THEIR CUSTOMERS BENEFIT BY REDUCED UNIT COST OF SERVICES. 8. IT IS THE OPINION OF THE WELD COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE E.D.A.B. THAT THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND ITS RELATED ACTIVITIES WILL BE A DEFINITE CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO WELD COUNTY. FOR THE CENTER TO BE FEASIBLE, IT REQUIRES THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT WHICH WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE ACCOMPANYING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS A STRONG DEMONSTRATED DESIRE AND NEED FOR THIS TYPE OF FACILITY IN WELD COUNTY. THE TIMING OF OUR PLANS HAS BEEN ACCELERATED BY ALMOST TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF THE DECISION TO MOVE THE TROUT CREEK EQUESTRIAN CENTER TO BEEBE DRAW FARMS IN TIME TO HOLD THE 1986 COMBINED TRAINING REGIONAL (5-STATE) _CHAMPIONSHIPS AT BEEBE DRAW. 9. WHILE A PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT IS RESIDENTIAL AS OPPOSED TO AGRICUL- TURAL, IT IS NOT URBAN. IT IS VERY LOW DENSITY (A MAXIMUM OF 600 UNITS ON AN AREA OF OVER 4300 ACRES, OR ROUGHLY ONE UNIT PER 7 ACRES) . THUS, LESS THAN 35% OF THE LAND WILL EVENTUALLY BE USED, OVER AN ESTIMATED 15 YEARS, FUR RESIDENTIAL TRACTS. IT IS NOT ONLY DESIRABLE BUT NECESSARY THAT THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT MAINTAIN A RURAL ATMOSPHERE AND QUALITY OF LIFE . THIS WILL NOT APPEAL TO THE USUAL "SUBURBANITE (WHO) LOVES THE COUNTRY, BUT HATES THE DUST." THERE IS NO DESIRE FOR THIS TO BECOME A TYPICAL URBAN SUBDIVISION, AND WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE CLASSI- FIED AS SUCH. BY ITS VERY NATURE AND REQUIREMENTS, IT CANNOT "BE COMPACT" (PER DEPARTMENT LETTER OF JULY 30) , NOR IS IT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE FUR THE "SUBDIVIDER TAKING HIS PROFIT AND LEAVING THE LONG-TERM PROBLEMS TO THOSE REMAINING BEHIND WHILE HE PROCURES NEW AREAS TO DEVELOP NEW PROBLEMS FOR STILL OTHERS TO RESOLVE AND PAY FOR." THIS EQUESTRIAN ORIENTED COMMUNITY WITH ITS EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND OTHER RECREATIONAL FACILITIES WILL REMAIN PERMANENTLY RESPONSIBLE FUR ITS OWN WELL BEING AND OPERATIONS WHICH WILL NOT BE ANY LONG-RANGE BURDEN ON THE COUNTY. THE DEVELOPER WILL STILL HAVE TO REMAIN INVOLVED AND WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO OPERATE ITS VALUABLE ADJACENT FARM LAND. 10. FROM PAGE 48, "THE EXPANSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURALLY ORIENTED INDUSTRY WILL BE ENCOURAGED, PROVIDED THESE ENTERPRISES DO NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE TOTAL ECONOMY OR ENVIRONMENT. " WE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THE FISCAL IMPACT OF THIS PROPOSED EQUESTRIAN CENTER AND RELATED DEVELOPMENT IN OUR SKETCH PLAN SUBMITTAL AND FURTHER SUPPLEMENT THIS INFORMATION IN THE ACCOMPANYING FISCAL IMPACT STDY. (SEE (D ) THE PROJECT WILL BE PHASED AS INDICATED IN THE SUBMITTAL SO THAT THERE WILL NOT BE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE, BUT A VERY GRADUAL INCREASE IN BOTH REVENUE GENERATING POPULATION AND THE SERVICES THAT MAY BE REQUIRED. THE RATE OF GROWTH WILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE COUNTY THROUGH THE LIMITATION OF BUILDING PERMITS WHICH IS A PART OF THE PHASING PLANS. THE SECOND BASIC PREMISE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (PAGE 20) IS "THAT PRESSURE FOR URBANIZATION MUST BE RECOGNIZED SO THAT GROWTH WHICH OCCURS IS DIRECTED AND CONTROLLED, MINIMIZING ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS." WE AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT FROM THE PLAN THAT "WHEN AND WHERE URBAN-TYPE RESIDENTS (WE ASSUME AS COMPARED TO FARMERS) ARE ALLOWED TO LOCATE IN A RURAL AREA, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO EITHER ACCEPT THE RURAL-TYPE ENVIRONMENT AS THE STANDARD OF LIFE OR PAY COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT HELP FROM THE TRUE RURAL RESIDENTS FOR INCREASED URBAN-TYPE SERVICES." WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE REFERRAL AGENCIES AND DO NOT FIND MANY REAL COST BURDENS THAT WOULD EFFECT THE COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE ACCOMPANYING FISCAL IMPACT STUDY SHOWS THAT BEEBE DRAW FARMS WILL PAY ITS OWN WAY, AND WILL NOT GENERATE ADDITIONAL COSTS TO THE TAXPAYERS OF WELD COUNTY. A COMBINATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT ACTUALLY PROVIDING SOME OF THE NECESSARY ADDITIONAL SERVICES THROUGH THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION AND OF MAKING ADEQUATE PROVISIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO ANY REQUIRED FUTURE COUNTY NET COSTS THAT WOULD BE FAIRLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE DEVELOPER AND THE COUNTY. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY IN 1979, THE MAIN ACCESS ROADS (39 AND 32) WERE PAVED, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN ADEQUATE FOR THE TRAFFIC AND LOADING OF OUR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT FOR MANY YEARS. THEY HAVE RECENTLY BEEN PLOWED UP BY THE COUNTY AND CONVERTED TO GRAVEL ROADS BECAUSE OF THE UNCONTROLLED PETROLEUM COMPANY TRAFFIC THAT HAS BEEN DOING ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO THE ROADS. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN HARMED BY THIS ACTION, IN THAT THE COMBINATION OF UNCONTROLLED TRAFFIC AND THE COUNTY 'S RESPONSE TO DEALING WITH IT HAS DEPRIVED US OF SUITABLE ACCESS . WE ARE, HOWEVER, WILLING TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. PETROLEUM COMPANIES, OTHER COUNTY USERS, VISITORS TO THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER (WHO WILL PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL BENEFITS TO THE COUNTY ECONOMY), AS WELL AS THE BEEBE DRAW FARMS DEVELOPMENT, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY THE COUNTY IN ANY FUTURE ALLOCATIONS OF COSTS VERSUS BENEFITS RECEIVED.

STREET MALL PLANNING URBAN DES'9N AN7 los 3kCH ,OULDEP COLORADO 90302 J03;449-6553 BEEBE DRAW FARMS AND EQUESTRIAN CENTER FISCAL IMPACT STUDY This section will summarize the results of the Beebe Draw Farms and Equestrian Center fiscal impact study. Interviews were conducted with representatives from some of the key jurisdictions including Dan Warden from the Weld County Finance Department, Rick _Di1l of the Sheriff'-s Department, Drew Sheltinga, Weld County -Engineer, Dave Seiler of the RE-1 School District, and Gary Sandau, La Salle Fire Protection District. These interviews were used as a basis for estimating reasonable costs which might occur as a result of the -development of Beebe Draw -Farms and Equestrian Center, as well as to identify any particular capacity problems. The primary method used for this analysis was the per capita multiplier method, where per capita costs are determined for each of the relevant County departmental budgets, then multiplied each year by the number of people expected to reside at Beebe Draw Farms to arrive at a total estimate of costs. Revenues are lased on projected assessed valuation for the number and phasing of new units at Beebe Draw Farms and Equestrian Center and the current mil levies. An important assumption is -that Beebe Draw Farms will be phased over a minimum of a 12-year buildout, thus both costs and revenues will accrue incrementally. Approach to Calculating General Costs to Weld County In order to assess the economic impacts to the general Weld County Budget, a detailed approach was identified and agreed upon with the assistance of Don Warden; Director of Finance. All expenditures in the Weld county General Fund Budget were analyzed to determine how they should -be calculated; some budget items are applicable to the total Weld County population, and were divided by the total county population to arrive at a per capita cost; other budget items, such as the sheriff's department, are partly applicable to the unincorporated portion of the county, and a portion of that budget was divided by the unincorporated county population to arrive at a per capita cost. The treasurer and assessor's budget were based on a total county-wide assessed valuation figure. In addition, with agreement from the Director of Finance, we made the assumption that due to the nature of Beebe Draw Farms, and the cost of homes, there would be no associated costs to Weld County for indigent care. In calculating the costs, therefore, we did not include any categories which deal exclusively with indigent care, such as juvenile diversion, correctional administration, community corrections, delinquents, and others. -1- ROSALL REMMEN CARES PLANNING URBAN UrSIGN AND GLUL AUCH According to the Director of Finance, some budget items represent departments which charge fees for services and are considered to be self supporting. These categories, including the clerk and recorder, ambulance service, public service — DUI, and building inspection, were, therefore, not considered in the overall calculation of costs to Weld County. Several budget items were considered to represent fixed costs, which would not increase as a result Beebe Draw Farms, such as maintenance of building and plant, accounting, purchasing, personnel, communications — PBX, capital outlay, office of emergency management, exhibition building, missile site, and county fair. And finally, some general fund budget items were found to be irrelevant, primarily because they serve only agricultural uses, such as predatory animal control, and pest and weed control, and were not considered in the calculations. What are the General Costs and Revenues to Weld County? Table 1, attached, calculates both the general costs and general revenues to Weld County as a result of the phased development of BDF & EC. As the table shows, buildout is projected to occur over a minimum twelve year period, with revenues lagging one year behind costs. Based on agreement with Weld County, Beebe Draw Farms will be limited to 50 building permits per year throughout the buildout. Because 50 units per year is the maximum buildout, we have used 50 units per year for the fiscal impact model. To calculate the population generated at Beebe Draw Farms, a multiplier of 3.1 for single family houses was used, and a multiplier of 2.15 for condominium units. Population will accrue incrementally over a twelve year period as houses are completed, with a total population at buildout of 2075 persons. In Table 1, Row 7 projects the increased population for Beebe Draw each year during the buildout period, and becomes the key multiplier to determine total costs resutling from the development of Beebe Draw Farms. Revenues were based on projected assessed valuation and current mil levies. The assessed valuation was based on an average current market value of approximately $130,000 for single family houses and $80,000 for condominiums. In addition, an average current market value of $25,000 for unsold but platted lots was included for each lot at the time of filing. The Sheriff's Department -shows the largest cost of any single budget item in the General Fund, or $56,885 in the 13th year, when the population reaches 2075 (see Line 43) . This amount is the equivalent of 2.5 additional patrolmen, which should be adequate to meet the needs of sheriff protection at Beebe Draw Farms in future years. —2— ROSALL REMMEN CARES PL.NNIN( ,,N A _; nF Lines 102 and 104 on the attached Table 1 present some information on revenues generated through the road and bridge mil levy as well as the per capita revenue sharing funds for roads. And Line 109 gives the theoretical per capita costs for the County Engineer's budget based on only unincorporated Weld County residents. Findings Row 92 shows the yearly costs, starting in the second year, when there is population residing at Beebe Draw Farms, for each year, and Row 93 shows the yearly revenues which begin in the third year. Costs to the Weld County General Fund reach a total of $82,846 in the 14th year, while revenues generated into the General Fund by the development will total $118,834 in the 14th year, resulting in an annual surplus to Weld County of $35,988. A slight deficit will result in the 2nd year because the tax revenues are lagging one year behind construction and occupancy of units, but the deficit disappears by the 3rd year. Line 100 shows the bottom line cumulative dollar impact to the Weld County general fund each year throughout buildout. These findings reinforce the conclusion that the development of Beebe Draw Farms will not result in additional costs to Weld County; on the contrary, it is providing additional tax revenues. Of the basic services normally provided residential developnment, Weld County is providing police protection. Fire protection is provided by a separate entity and has its own mil levy; water and sewer service are being provided by the developer and paid for by the homeowner; roads will need to upgraded and possibly paved sometime in the future, but these costs will be negotiated between the County and the developer, and will be equitably assessed prior to development. For these reasons described above, it is understandable that the development of Beebe Draw Farms will not cause undue or unfair costs to Weld County, or to the taxpayers; it will, in fact provide additional tax revenues in the future. Re-1 School District The RE-1 school district encompasses Platteville, Gilcrest, La Salle, and the surrounding rural areas. There are approximately 1,709 students currently enrolled by the following breakdowns: K - 5: 49% Middle School: 25% High School: 26% The schools which would serve Beebe Draw Farms development include Platteville Elementary and Middle School, and Gilgrast High School. There is -3- ROSALL REMMEN CARES approximately a 50 student excess capacity in both the elementary and middle schools, and a 75 excess student capacity in the high school. According to Dave Seiler, the budget is in good shape, with half of the capital reserve budget unallocated. The RE-1 budget is as follows: Operating: $4,818,000 Debt Service: 340,000 Capital Reserve: 710,000 $5,868,000 A multiplier of 1.1 children per single family household was used to calculate the number of children generated by the development over a twelve year period in conjunction with the housing buildout, and is found on Line 8 on attached Table 1. At buildout this could represent a maximum 683 children. In the early years of development of Beebe Draw Farms, the existing schools can probably adequately handle the increased number of children. The district is currently experiencing growth and will probably be creating additional classroom space at all levels within the next 5 years. Growth resulting from Beebe Draw Farms will add to already existing growth pressures within the district. Revenues to the district will increase as a result of the increased numbers of students from Beebe Draw Farms. Costs to the district will result from increased busing needs as well as the demand for additional classroom space and new teachers. Fire District A discussion with Gary Sandau, Fire Chief, indicated that his main concern with providing fire service to Beebe Draw was one of response time. The La Salle Fire District encompasses 180 square miles, services a population of approximately 5,000, and has one paid employee, the fire chief, and approximately 30 to 32 volunteer firemen throughout the district. There are several volunteers currently residing near Beebe Draw Farms. The District has 3 pumpers, one 5,000 gallon tanker, one light rescue truck, and one 4 wheel drive rescue/grass fire truck. In order to address the response time problem, the Fire Chief suggested establishing a substation at Beebe Draw Farms which could provide immediate coverage until the primary coverage by the La Salle District arrives. In addition, the Platteville fire district could provide secondary coverage if needed. The substation would have a rescue truck, and for long term fire protection it should have a pumper truck. Additional volunteer firemen should come from Beebe Draw Farms. The developer proposes to dedicate land —4— ROSALL REMMEN CARES PLANNING. IL RGAN DESIGN AND RESEARCH to the La Salle Fire District for a substation, and will provide and maintain a pumper truck. Total revenues to the La Salle Fire District generated from property taxes would equal approximately $33,000 the 12th year.

Each home site will be controlled by restrictive covenants and the rules and regulations of the Homeowners Association as to its use and maintenance. Each home site shall be limited to one fenced paddock with an area no larger than 5% of the subdivided lot and shall be no closer than 50—feet from any side or front property line and 20—feet from the tack property line. Dust control measures will be required by each homeowner. The intended use of the paddock shall be for intermittent stabling. No grazing shall be allowed outside the paddock area. Only riding stock and personal pets will be allowed within the Beebe Draw Farms and Equestrian Center property or any homesite or greenbelt area. Each property owner shall be required by covenant to maintain a natural vegatative cover over their entire lot except for the irrigated landscaping around tfie house. Decorative or security fencing shall be limited to the paddock and an additional 5% area attached to the house for the protection or privacy of the residents and their guests. No livestock shall be kept outside the paddock area. Each -home site shall plant and maintain in a healthy condition a minimum average of one (1 ) tree per every 4, 000 square feet of lot area. Approximately 1/3 shall be deciduous type and 2/3 evergreen. Trees shall be planted to provide shade, privacy, as well as control wind and snow blowing. A list of hardy varieties and planting care instructions will be provided to each homeowner. Common Greenbelt & Open Spate Approximately 3, 000 acres will be maintained as permanent recreation open—space for the use of all property owners. This vast area will be managed by the property owners association in cooperation with the appropriate soil conservation districts. The primary goals are to protect the fragile environment and enhance it' s natural beauty for the enjoyment of those who will be making this area their home. Landscape Architecture and Planning 1024 8th Street - Greeley, Colorado 80631 - (303) 356-1920 Landscape and Maintenance Procedure Beebe Draw Farms and Equestrian Center Page 2 In order to accomplish these goals, it will be necessary to control the use of the greenbelt areas and develop a concept and maintenance plan for the entire system. Concept Plan In general , the existing vegetation will be maintained as it is, with selected tree and shrub plantings for conservation and aesthetic purposes. The primary purpose of the greenbelt is to provide conditioning trails for horses and their riders as well as recreational riding for other owners. Therefore, the development plan will give top priority to accomplishing this goal . All non—compatible uses will be prohibited. No motorized vehicles, other than maintenance vehicles will be allowed. Trees will be planted to selectively screen adjacent residential uses in order to maximize the rural atmosphere of the greenbelt. Maintenance Plan The equestrian trails will have some impact on the environment. However, with an anticipated maximum of 50 horses training per day over the entire area, there would only be about one trip per every 10. 8 minutes in a 9—hour period. This assumes that each of the 50 horses traverses the entire trail system. Right—of—ways will be seeded and hay mulched and watered until a stand of grass is established. It is anticipated that environmental impact from the riding trails will be comparable to normal grazing activity. However, it is in the best interest of the developer and the homeowners association to maintain a high degree of environmental quality. This will be accomplished primarily through seeding and watering the impacted areas in accordance with recommendation of the Soil Conservation Service. In exposure areas, permanent irrigation will be developed. The measures which are going to be taken to protect the natural environment are principally for maintaining an aesthetically attractive trail not because there is danger of environmental degredation. The impact anticipated by trails and roads can be considered inconsequential in comparison to the thousands of acres of dry land cultivation in the immediate area which lay exposed to wind and soil erosion every year. 4350 SF PADt-K WI 5T/1/213LE 1500 SF HOME W/ 2 CAR GARAGE 20 4550 5e IRRIGATED �- -- - IA.WN WI FEkcE ! —�- - - 1•—PROPERTY LINE ( 2[ 0 1 SU BACK.

Ulrich ARIX 2021 Clubhouse Drive P.O. Box 2021 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Sir: Ron Miller transferred the plans for Beebe Draw Farms to me for it was in my work area. I have reviewed the plans and have seen the property. My comments at this time are very general , but hopefully will help as you progress with the development. The number one concern I have is controlling the wind erosion. Once the vegetation is destroyed wind erosion will occur unless protective measures are taken. An erosion con- trol plan is therefore a mandatory part of the development plan. I assume that over-lot grading will not be done since the lots are so large. The disturbed areas will then be limited to the roads. The roadsides, which are not graveled, must be reseeded. One seeding mix would be 60% sideoat-s gramma (5.4 lbs/ac) , 30% little blueStem (2. 1 lbs/ac) and 10% sand dropseed (0.05 lbs/ac) . The seeding should be done after October 1 but be- fore June 1 . Immediately after seeding the seeded area should be mulched with 4000 pounds per acre of grasshay. The hay must be crimped in to prevent blowing. Wheat straw should not be used. Since this development will include an equestrian center I assume many owners will have horses. The grass production on these soils is low; at least 25 acres is needed to sup- port one horse. If horses are allowed on each lot, the lots will be denuded of grass and wind erosion will occur. Protective covenants are needed to prohibit horses free run of the lots. The horses must be kept in small paddocks or stalls and fed. They may be turned loose to graze for only short periods. The southeast quarter of section 5 has a large area that doesn 't drain. This area should be either used for an open-space or drainage should be provided. There are numerous other small pot hole areas, but by proper house distribution they can be avoided. It would be beneficial if drainage were provided for these also. These comments are all more for the development plan. I don 't think the Platte Valley Soil Conservation District will have any comments on the zoning change. If I can be of additional assistance, please contact me.

The site under investigation is located in parts of Sections 3, 5, 1.0, 11 and 15; all of Sections 8, 9, 16 and 17; all in Township 3 North, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M. , Weld Lounty, Colorado. The entir-e site is made up of loamy sands with a small area near the Platte Valley Canal inlet to Milton Reser-voir classified as a sandy loam. A more detailed discussion of the overburden soils is as follows: 10 - Bankard Sandy Loam 0-3 percent slopes. This is a deep, somewhat - excessive drained soil on flood plains at elevations of 4,450 to 5,000 feet. It formed in stratified recent alluvium along streams and rivers. Included in mapping are numerous sand and gravel bars and small areas of non-calcareous soils. Typically the surface layer of this Bankard soil is brown sandy loam about 4 inches thick. The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is pale brown calcareous sand stratified with thin lenses of sandy loam, Foam, and fine gravel . Permeability is moderately rapid. Availabl-e water capacity low. The effective rooting depth is 6.0 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low. 800 Eighth Avenue P.O. Box 2021 Greeley,CO 80632-2021 303-356-3930 Mr. Rod Allison Page 2 September 11, 1984 This soil is suited to limited cropping. It is sandy and subject to flooding. Pasture is the best use. It is generally not suited to the establishment and growth of trees and shrubs. On-site investigation is needed to determine feasibility and possible tree and shrub species. As previously stated this soil is contained in a very small area of the site and will not be used for construction material or building sites. 44 - Olney Loamy Sand, 1-3 percent slopes. This material also covers a small percentage of the site. Olney loamy sand is a deep, well drained soil on smooth plains at elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet. It formed in mixed outwash -deposits. Included in mapping are some small leveled areas. Typically the surface layer is grayish brown loamy sand about 9 inches thick. The subsoil is yellowish brown and very pale brown sandy clay loam about 15 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is very pale brown, calcareous fine sandy loam. Permeability and available water capacity are moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is also low. This soil has good potential for urban development. The only limiting feature is the moderately rapid permeability in the substratum, which causes a hazard of groundwater contamination from sewage lagoons. The loamy sand surface layer is a limitation for recreational development. Once established, the lawns, shrubs and trees grow well . 47 - Olney Fine Sandy Loam. 1-3 percent slopes. Same description as Olney Loamy Sand. 69 - Valent sand, 0-3 percent Slopes. This is a deep, excessively drained soil on plains at elevations of 4,650 to 5,100 feet. It formed in eolian deposits. Included in mapping are small areas of soils that have lime within a depth of 40 inches. Typically the surface layer is brown sand about 8 inches thick. The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is brown sand. Permeability is rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low. This soil is suited to limited cropping. Intensive cropping is hazardous because of erosion. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are fairly well suited to this soil . Blowing sand and the moderate available water capacity are the principal hazards in establishing trees and shrubs. The soil is so loose that trees should be planted in shallow furrows, maintaining vegetation between the rows. Supplemental irrigation is needed to insure survival . Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, and Siberian elm. The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub. Mr. Rod Allison Page 3 September 11, 1984 This soil has fair potential for urban development. The primary limiting soil features are the rapid permeability and the susceptibility to soil blowing. Septic tank absorption fields function properly, but in places in sandy substratum does not properly filter the leachate. Sewage lagoons must be sealed. Once established, the lawns, shrubs, and trees grow well . Capability subclass IVe irrigated, VIe non-irrigated; Deep Sand range site. 70 - Valent sand, 3 to 9 percent slopes. This is a deep, excessively drained soil on plains at elevations of 4,650 to 5,100 feet. It formed in eolian deposits. Included in mapping are small areas of soils that have lime within a depth of 40 inches. Also included are small areas of soils that have sandstone between 40 and 60 inches. Typically the surface layer of the Valent soil is brown sand about 6 inches thick. The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is brown sand. Permeability is rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally not suited to this soil . On-site investigation is needed to determine if plantings are feasible. This soil has fair potential for urban development. The chief limiting soil features are the rapid permeability and the susceptibility to soil blowing. Septic tank absorption fields function properly, but in places the sandy substratum does not properly filter the leachate. Sewage lagoons must be sealed. Once established, lawns, shrubs, and trees grow well. Capability subclass VIe irrigated, VIe non-irrigated; Deep Sand range site. 72 - Vona loamy sand, 0 to 3 percent slopes. This is a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil on plains and high terraces at elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet. It formed in eolian or alluvial deposits. Included in mapping are some leveled areas. Also included are small areas of soils that have a loamy substratum and some areas of soils that are non-calcare- ous to a depth of 60 inches. Typically the surface layer of this Vona soil is grayish brown. The upper 6 inches is loamy sand and the lower 6 inches is fine sandy loam. The subsoil is brown and light yellowish brown fine sandy loam about 16 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is sandy loam. Permeability is moderately rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low. Mr. Rod Allison Page 4 September 11, 1984 Windbreaks and environmental plantings are fairly well suited to this soil . Blowing sand and low available water capacity are the principal hazards in establishing trees and shrubs. The soil is so loose that trees should be planted in shallow furrows and vegetation maintained between the rows. Supplemental irrigation is needed to insure survival . Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, and Siberian elm. These shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub. This soil has good potential for urban and recreational development. Once established, the lawns, shrubs, and trees grow well . The chief limiting soil feature is the rapid permeability in the substratum, which causes a hazard of ground water contamination form sewage lagoons. In places recreational development is limited by the susceptibility to soil blowing. Capability subclass IIIe irrigated, IVe non-irrigated; Sandy Plains range site. 73 - Vona loamy sand, 3 to 5 percent slopes. This is a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil on plains and high terraces at elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet. It formed in eolian or alluvial deposits. Included in mapping are some leveled areas. Also included are small areas of soils that have a loamy substratum and some areas of soils that are non-calare- ous to a depth of 60 inches. Typically the surface layer of this Vona soil is grayish brown. The upper 6 inches is loamy sand and the lower 5 inches is fine sandy loam. The subsoil is brown and light yellowish brown fine sandy loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is sandy loam. Permeability is moderately rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low. This soil is suited to limited cropping. Intensive cropping is hazardous because of soil blowing. This soil has good potential for urban and recreational development. Once established, the lawns, shrubs, and trees grow well . The primary limiting soil feature is the rapid permeability in the substratum, which causes a hazard of ground water contamination from sewage lagoons. In places recreational development is limited by the susceptibility to soil blowing. Capability subclass IVe irrigated, VIe non-irrigated; Sandy Plains range site. 76 - Vona sandy loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes. This is a deep, well drained soil on plains and high terraces at elevations of 4,600 to 5,200 feet. It formed in eolian and alluvial deposits. Included in mapping are some leveled areas. Also included are small areas of soils that have a loamy substratum and areas of soils that are non-calcareous to a depth of 60 inches. Mr. Rod Allison Page 5 September 11, 1984 Typically the surface layer of this Vona soil is grayish brown sandy loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is brown fine sandy loam about 18 inches thick. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is sandy loam. Permeability is moderately rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is low. Windbreaks and environmental plantings are generally suited to this soil . Soil blowing, the principal hazard in establishing trees and shrubs, can be controlled by cultivating only in the tree row and by leaving a strip of vegetation between the rows. Supplemental irrigation may be necessary at the time of planting and during dry periods. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern red- cedar, ponderosa pine, Siberian elm, Russian-olive, and hackberry. The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub. This soil has good potential for urban and recreational development. Lawns, shrubs and trees grow well . The only limitation feature is repaid permeability in the substratum, which causes a hazard of groundwater contamination of sewage lagoons. The underlying message of all these soils classifications and evaluations is that they are all generally unsuitable for irrigation and farming. All are subject to drying out and it is recommended that the soil be allowed to remain fallow to replenish moisture if in dryland crops. Cultivation causes erosion and pastures need continual reseeding to support livestock. The numbers before each soil type correspond with the numbers on the vicinity map.

These rates ranged from 0.9 to 40.0 minutes per inch with the latter rate located in an area where no housing is planned (see the location map in Empire Laboratories report dated July 9, 1984) . The other five percolation rates fall within the Health Department's guidelines 4.3.D where percolation rates near or less than 5 minutes per inch, systems are permissible in sandy soils. As per Weld County Health Department regulations, each lot will have to be tested for percolation rates prior to issuance of a building permit and installation of an individual sewage disposal system.

The objective of this investigation was to assess the suitabil- ity of the subsurface conditions for construction of individual sewage disposal systems in accordance with Weld County regulations. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION The field exploration, carried out on June 25, 1984, consisted of drilling and logging six (6) test borings and running six (6) percolation tests. Six (6) of these borings were drilled to a depth ten (10) feet below the surface. Locations of the test bor- ings are shown on the Test Boring Location Plan included in Appen- dix A of this report. Boring logs prepared from the field logs are included in Appendix A. These logs show soils encountered and location of groundwater. A summary of test results is included in Appendix B of this report. All borings were advanced with a four (4) and/or six (6) inch diameter, continuous-type, power-flight auger drill . During the drilling operations, a geotechnical engineer from Empire Labora- tories, Inc. was present and made continuous observations of the soils encountered. 1- ABSORPTION BED AM0/OR TRENCH The soil absorption bed and/or trench constructed at the site should consist of three (3) inch diameter perforated plastic pipe or four (4) inch diameter open-jointed tile. The pipe or tile should be laid on as flat a grade as possible, running the full length of the bed and/or trench. The bed and/or trench should be covered by clean, graded gravel extending from at least two (2) inches above the top of the pipe or tile to at least twelve (12) inches below the bottom of the pipe or tile the full width of the bed and/or trench. It is further recommended that the pipe or tile be a minimum of fourteen (14) inches and a maximum of twenty-six (26) inches below finished grade. In areas where the • percolation rate is quicker than five (5) minutes per inch, fines should be mixed into the bed and/or trench to increase the perco- lation rate. The bed and/or trench should be covered with an un- treated building paper to help minimize clogging of the gravel with earth backfill . Positive drainage should also be provided to reduce the potential for surface water to enter the system. The system should be designed in accordance with State and County regulations using the data provided in this report. The system should also be placed the required minimum distance from all pertinent ground features, as described in the Weld County • regulations. 6EnERAL COMMENTS This report noes not reflect variations in the soil profile and/or percolation rates which may exist between test borings. Additional percolation tests should be performed for each pro- posed sewage disposal system. The nature and extent of varia- tions between the borings may not become evident until construc- tion. If variations do appear, a reevaluation of the recom- mendations of this report may be needed. To aid in this re- evaluation, on-site observations and/or tests by this office of the noted variations may be needed. -2- APPENDIX A. • • • II i I TEST BORING LOCATION PLAN OA0 38 No.f ----- 04.. i I I I I I N.. 9 0 No.4 a- M D gc DC N_6 . 1" = 2000 ROAD 32 A-2 EMPIRE LABORATORIES.

That site shows no visible water erosion evidence, only wind. The Runoff Coefficient ("C") is virtually unaffected due to the size of lots, green space and gravel roads. Five-year undeveloped composite "C" factor, typical house w/shed = 3,000 SF = .07 acres Composite "C" = .07 x .9 + (2-.07) x .1 : 2 = .13. Further analysis reveals that a standard borrow ditch of one foot depth will carry approximately 10 cfs which is the approximate runoff from a 10-year storm/100 acres. The permeability rate for valent loams range from 6 to 20 inches/hr. rendering a detention pond unnecessary for all practical purposes. We based this upon the storage of 1-acre foot per 100 acres at 40 minutes of. detention of water will permeate through the soil at an average rate of 13 inches per hour. A detail study of the areas will be performed and submitted at the Final • Plat Stage for determination of any detention pond sizing and storm water routing.

This was circulated for review, and comments from the Road and Bridge Department (memorandum from Rod Hutchinson to Rod Allison, July 11) were included in the Planning Department ' s response of July 30. This response also included specific comments concerning traffic generation and road upgrading issues (item 5 of County Planning Services letter) . This letter responds to both sets of comments, identifies changes to the plan which should improve access, and suggests some approaches we would like you to consider to deal with the increased traffic demand on the county road network. After you have had a chance to review this we would like to meet with you to discuss specific items and resolve any remaining questions you may have. Following comments respond to points raised in Rod Hutchinson's memo. 1. The primary site access has been relocated to WCR 39, approximately midway between WCR 34 and 36. Also, a secondary access south of WCR 38 is provided, primarily to facilitate emergency vehicle access. 2. The interior roads are proposed to remain as gravel , consistent with the low density rural character of the project. Maintenance of these roads to provide both dust control and a smooth travel surface will be the responsibility of the property owner's association. Until the association is fully functioning, the project developer will provide this maintenance. Beyond the statutory requirements for dust control and the need to maintain all weather access, it is absolutely essential to the economic success of the project that the roads be kept in good, dust free condition . Further, the developer will 800 Eighth Avenue P.O. Box 2021 Greeley,CO 80632-2021 303-356-3930 Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 2 September 6, 1984 provide snow removal for emergency vehicle, school bus and regular traffic access both on the interior road network and on the county roads cited below. 3. The question of detention ponds is being addressed separately. 4. We have sent a letter to District IV of the Department of Highways describing the project . You will be furnished a copy of their response. 5. The five paragraphs under this comment are addressed later, in the context of the traffic impact assessment requested by the Planning Service comments. However, some supplemental points should be made. a. There is no question that any new development in the County -- this project or any other -- will generate additional traffic. And if the project is in the County (or in an incorporated area served by County roads) this traffic will affect the service- ability of the County road system. The County road system exists, after all , to provide access. b. As noted, the developer will have in place a road maintenance crew of sufficient capability to provide top quality maintenance of the approximately 18 miles of interior roads . This crew has certain minimum equipment and personnel requirements which initially would exceed the needs of the interior road system. For this reason, the developer proposed to maintain the surrounding County road system for three years . The three year time frame was based upon a projected target date for paving the roads, after which the County would assume maintenance responsibility. However, as discussed subsequently, paving the roads may not be prudent in three years, depending upon the oil /gas drilling activity and the level of continuing well servicing and product collection traffic. The developer is willing to maintain the County roads serving the site until they are paved, whether that is in three or five or ten years . We see this as a definite asset to the County as you could commit maintenance resources elsewhere. Given the already inadequate road and bridge budget we see no reason to try to reduce County expenditures. Rather, spend the money at other locations where maintenance is needed. c. We do not understand the claim that 23 miles of road will need to be reconstructed, at least as a result of this project. Under the most stringent conditions the developer should be obligated for only one-half of the road fronting the project site. At most this would include 3 miles of WCR 39 (32 to 38) , 2 miles of WCR 32 (39 to 43) and 2 miles of WCR 38 (39 to 43), for a total of seven miles of half section roadway, or the equivalent of 3. 5 miles of paved road. Using your unit cost of about $235,000 per mile, this would require outlays of about $820,000 by both the developer and the County (for the other half of the roads) . Thus in the worst case, about one-half the annual contract reconstruc- Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 3 September 6, 1984 tion budget would be required. This assumes that only the County and the adjacent property developer should pay for road improve- ments , an assumption we feel is not entirely fair. It should be noted that the primary access roads (WCR 32 and 39) were paved at the time the property was purchased by the developer. While the subject property has generated minimal traffic -- a few trips per day -- over the past few years , other traffic nas degraded the roads to the point where they have been reverted to gravel . Instead of facing a moderate amount of road widening and overlay work, the project now faces the demand for major reconstruction of roads damaged by others. We would hope they contribute to required improvements in an equitable manner. d. Based upon the fiscal impact analysis of the project, a reasona- ble level of participation by others in road improvement, and projected annual revenue from this project, the payoff period is less than 20 years . The developer is willing to share project cost in a fair and equitable manner, so long as this significant investment in public road improvements is protected from unwar- ranted damage. e. We are acutely aware of the extensive wear and tear on the County road system. But this wear is not being caused so much by automobile and light truck traffic (which this development will generate) as by the massive truck traffic associated with oil and gas drilling activity. Heavy trucks are roughly 1250 times more damaging to the road bed than are autos (using CDR 18k EDLA) weighting factors) . We hope these drilling operations are contributing their fair share of road improvement monies , as we are being asked to do. Following comments respond to points raised in the review letter. 1. The existing County road network is quite adequate to serve project needs now and through full development. The roadway cross-sections or widths , are also adequate to serve initial and ultimate develop- ment traffic needs . The roadway surface conditions are adequate to meet initial traffic demands , but will soon be inadequate if not properly maintained. At some point in the future the gravel road surfaces will have to be upgraded . The developer is willing to provide the following in consideration of approval of the development request. a. Maintenance of WCR 32 from the end of the pavement east of Platteville to WCR 39, and maintenance of WCR 39 from WCR 32 north to WCR 40, until such time as these roads are paved, and provided further paved sections are not removed. b. Provide performance guarantees of participation in the future cost of road paving by establishing a joint escrow account with the County and making deposits thereto according to set formula keyed to the pace of development. The formula will recognize the value of benefits directly accruing to the County as a result of Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 4 September 6, 1984 the project , the realization of which precedes the actual need for County services; will recognize the fair share due from this project as well as that due from other extraordinary road users ; will recognize that the potential for new traffic to be generated from residential uses does not occur at platting, nor at sale of building lot, but only after a building permit has been issued; and the value of continuing maintenance services provided by the developer during the interim period . The rate of issuance of building permits is proposed to be controlled by Weld County. 2. Following information address staff concerns about road adequacy, with respect to traffic. a. Information from County Engineering shows about 100 vehicles per day (vpd) on WCR 39, north of WCR 32, and on WCR 32, west of WCR 39. Volume on WCR 39 increases to the north, reaching about 200 vpd at WCR 44. WCR 39 and 32 provide primary access to the proposed development. Over the next 10 to 15 years this traffic should not increase by more than 20-30 percent, based on present land uses remaining in effect. Such increase reflects possible partitioning of farms within common ownership, with new farm family units establishing residences on existing farms. b. Access to the site to and from the north (Greeley - Evans - LaSalle) is expected to be via US 85 to/from Peckham, east-west on WCR 44 to/from WCR 39, and north-south on WCR 39 to/from the site. Access to the site to and from the west and south is expected to be via US 85 to/from Platteville, Ft . Lupton, south on US 85, and west on SH 66 and 52 (Longmont , Boulder, North Metro) . To/from Platteville, site traffic will use WCR 32 to WCR 39, then WCR 39 to the access point. WCR 44 is paved from US 85 to WCR 39, and WRC 39 is paved to about WCR 42. Farther south, to and past WCR 32, it is gravel surfaced. WCR 32 is paved from Platteville east to WCR 35. Farther east, to and past WCR 39, it is gravel surfaced. Given the present and likely future condition of County roads, it is expected that virtually all site traffic will use the US 85/WCR 32 or US 85/WCR 44/WCR 39 approach/departure routes . Distribution of traffic on these access routes is projected to be about 40% to/from the north (WCR 39/WCR 44) and 60% to/from the west and south (WCR 32) . c. Average daily traffic expected from the residential development • (maximum 600 single family, 100 condominiums) is estimated for each year of project activity. Note that the estimates are based on cumulative number of constructed dwellings, reflecting issued building permits, and that these values reflect 100 percent completion, a situation not often attained in any project.

The equestrian center will generate four types of traffic: - Development residents to/from the center, all internal trips. - Out-of-area residents to/from the center, for individual training, lessons, etc. - Minor and major event traffic - participants, support person- nel , families, other spectators. - Commercial traffic (farriers, veterinarians, suppliers, etc. ) which services the center. Except for event traffic these trips are a function of the number of boarded horses at the center. Internal trips by residents are of no consequence to the County roads. For external trips, we assume three lessons/riding sessions per horse per busy summer week (six trips) plus one service trip per horse per week . Average daily trips to/from the equestrian center would be one trip per boarded horse belonging to people who live outside the project and this rate would drop off in the winter months. Event traffic is a function of participants. Major events are expected to attract approximately 125 participants . For each participant we estimate 3 support/family/spectator personnel . Often these accompany the participant vehicle. Average vehicle travel pattern would be three to four trips in and out per day. Overall major event traffic generation would be in the range of 600 to 1000 trips per day; a design value for major events of 800 vpd is used. These events would occur on the order of once a month . Minor events , such a saddle club functions or group training, would generate 20 to 30 percent of major event traffic or 150 to 250 vpd. These could occur on a weekly basis. Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 6 September 6, 1984 On an "average daily traffic" basis, an 800 vpd event once a month results in about 30 ADT. A 200 vpd event once a week results in about 30 ADT. Since the frequency of event traffic is so low (once a week or less) , the ADT value is a good estimate of roadway wear effect , but understates the traffic volume effect. Once a week, the area will look especially busy; the rest of the time, normal activity.

Developer proposes to upgrade the affected County roads according to the following program. a. Maintain WCR 32 and WCR 39 in serviceable conditions from the current end of pavement (WCR 32 east of Platteville, WCR 39 south of WCR 40) to the primary entrance on WCR 39. This includes approximately 7 miles of County road on which the County could avoid any further maintenance expenditure. b. At such time as the County determines it is warranted, WCR 32 and WCR 39 would be upgraded to normal County standard paved sec- tions, capable of accommodating traffic in the 4,000 - 6,000 ADT range . Funds for construction would be realized from four sources. o An escrow fund to which the developer contributes in direct proportion to project development activity. o Net project contributions to road and bridge fund resulting from increased property tax base based on increased property valuation. o Valuation of developer ' s maintenance of County roads in the interim period between project approval and paving of the roads. o Traditional sources of funding including County assessment revenues and HUTF funds. It would be understood and agreed to between County and developer that no road paving expenditures would be made until after it could be assured that no heavy oil/gas drillers traffic would be permitted to damage the roads unless agreements existed with the County and the petroleum companies which provided for their reimbursement of additional required maintenance costs.

U.D. dealt with dust control within the development on private roads . As noted in our recent letter to the County Road and Bridge Department the developer proposes to furnish maintenance to both the interior private roads and to portions of adjacent County roads serving the site. We have recommended that waste oil be used as a dust palliative. This would be applied to the roadway surfaces in connection with surface profiling and shaping. .Over the course of several application cycles the top layer of the road surface would retain a large percentage of fines , which would serve as a low strength binder for gravel in the surface material . Loss of fines due to wind and rain erosion would be reduced , providing longer useful life of added surface materials. Such a surface maintenance program should also provide a reasonably uniform and smooth travel surface for routine traffic . Surface failures (potholes) , rutting, washboarding) caused by heavy traffic would be more easily repaired since surface erosion would be retarded.

Primary objective of the following discussion is to define in preliminary terms some of the quantitative aspects of the proposed road maintenance and improvement program. To summarize the proposed program, the project developer, via the Property Owners Association, agrees to: 1. Maintain portions of the County Road network which are now in gravel until they are paved; and 2. Establish an account, funded by building permit related fees, to be dedicated towards paving these gravel roads at some point in the future. SCOPE OF ANALYSIS The traffic impact assessment concludes that virtually all development related traffic will move to/from U.S. 85 via WCR 32 (west and south) or WCR 39 and 44 (north) . At present, approximately 4 miles of WCR 32 is surfaced, east of Platteville; the remaining 2 miles from WCR 35 to WCR 39 is gravel . Approximately 2 miles of WCR 39 is surfaced between WCR 44 and 40; the remaining 4 miles to WCR 32 is gravel . WCR 38 is gravel . As noted, the developer plans to maintain approximately 18 miles of gravel road within the development, and will have a maintenance crew plus equipment (dump truck, front end loader, road grader, truck mounted tanks, and attachments -- plows, hoist, winch, etc. ) . Apart from the question of equity, it would be impractical for the developer to maintain 800 Eighth Avenue P.O. Box 2021 Greeley,CO 80632-2021 303-356-3930 Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 2 September 28, 1984 treated surface roads -- the maintenance crew would not be trained or equipped for this. Hence the developer proposes to maintain the portions of WCR 32 and 39 now in gravel . Of the 13 miles of road in question the developer would maintain 7 miles; the County would retain maintenance responsibility for the remaining 6 miles. The immediate effect of this proposal is to remove some 7 miles of County road from County maintenance responsibility, permitting the reallocation of current County maintenance effort to other portions of the overall road system. County maintenance of the paved portions of WCR 32 and 39 would continue as required. Over time, as the gravel portions of WCR 32 and 39 are upgraded to surfaced condition, the County would take back maintenance responsibility. GRAVEL ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAM The maintenance program for gravel roads is proposed as follows: 1. Grading, shaping, ditch clean-out once a week per 150 ADT. 2. Application of waste oil or waste oil/diesel mix four times per year at a rate of 0.15 gal/sq. yd. or approximately 10,000 gal/mi . 3. Restoration of road base material at a rate of 6 inches per year per 750 ADT, for a 30 ft. width. 4. Spot repair of localized problem areas (culvert cleanout, more frequent grading at intersection approaches, excavation and replacement of soft spots, etc.) on an as-needed basis. The road grading, oil , and spot repair materials/equipment costs would be borne by the developer. Road base'material would be made available to the developer -- he would furnish transportation from the County materials source area. The grading and shaping work would emphasize cutting out on side ditches and moving material into the roadway, so that over time the roadbed would be widened to a nominal 32-36 ft. between edges of shoulder. This will ultimately permit a 24 ft. treated surface road plus 4-6 ft. shoulders The combination of periodic gravel placement, oiling, spot repair and maintenance of crowned cross-section for drainage should work to develop a stable and strong roadbase over the period of gravel road maintenance. SURFACE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Eventually traffic volumes may increase to the point where the frequency of gravel road maintenance functions (grading, new base) becomes so great that it would be more economical to treat the roadway surface. We Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 3 September 28, 1984 propose that the initial level of upgrading be a 24 ft. wide double surface treatment, followed at periodic intervals by single surface treatments. This would be scheduled for shortly after placement of the last gravel fill lift on a particular section of road, so that a compacted, crowned base is in place. Criterion for initial double surface treatment would be when traffic volume on the road section reached 750 ADT. Supplemental single treatments would be applied at three year intervals or 500 ADT increases (eg. at approximately 1250 ADT, 1750 ADT) . At the point when traffic volume reached 1750 ADT, and other conditions concerning the mix of traffic justified the action (eg. acceptable levels of heavy vehicles) the road would be overlayed with a 2-1/2 lift of HBP, 24 ft. in width. STAGED CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS The initial grading program, in addition to providing adequate level of service during relatively low traffic volume periods, accomplishes three important things. First, it permits widening of the roadbed in increments to accommodate the ultimate section. Second, the gravel replacement and oiling activities permit development of a smooth profile and adequate crown for ride comfort and lateral drainage. Third, the combined effects of traffic loading and spot repair of soft spots will develop a strong, uniform, compacted base. The interim surface treatment is applied at a point when the road base is in good condition, but requires surface protection from drainage and wear to be preserved . Periodic surface treatment continues to preserve the base and bonds the asphalt to the base. During this period, profile and cross-section adjustments and spot repairs can continue. Paving the roadway occurs at a point when traffic volumes are sufficient to wear down the surface treated road. But by this point, the base will have been compacted, the profile and cross-section developed, and drainage accommodated. Thus the cost of paving is minimized -- place mat, paint center and edge lines. UNIT COSTS AND ALLOCATION The developer will obtain and operate the gravel road maintenance • equipment in any case. Hence an operating cost factor equal to the County value of $50.00/hour is used. The level of effort will be considerably higher than County standards, on the order of 50 hours per mile per 150 ADT annually. In addition to the grader work, the oil dust control/base stabilization will be applied. Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 3 September 28, 1984 Following summarizes the unit costs of the various maintenance and road improvement items, and the allocations between County and developer. COST ITEM COUNTY DEVELOPER 1. Maintenance of gravel road, cost per mile, 1/wk per 150 ADT, per year o Grading $50/hr, 2 mi/hr (4 passes) 50/2 x 52 = $1,300 - $ 1,300 o Waste oil , @ $0.90/gal . = $9,000 - $ 9,000 2. Fill material , 5,100 ton/mi/750 ADT/yr. o Borrow source $5.30/ton $27,000 o Haul @ $0.15/ton-mile, 15 mi . $11,500 3. Double surface treatment, $2.00/L.F. $2 x 5280 = $10,560 per mile $ 5,300 $ 5,300 4. Single surface treatment, $0.75/L.F. $ .75 x 5280 = $3,960 per mile $ 2,000 $ 2,000 5. Overlay, 2-1/2" HBP $10.50/L.F. $10.5 x 5280 = $55,440 per mile $27,800 $27,800 Maintenance and improvement programs for the two sections of roadway (WCR 32, WCR 39 to site access; WCR 39 to site access and WCR 38) are sum- marized on the following tables. Note that these reflect the maximum rate of build-out, which presents the most conservative estimate of costs. The more likely build-out pace will extend the program over a longer period, and reduce per-year costs. To summarize the overall road program: ° Costs of maintaining and upgrading the six miles of gravel road to ultimate paved status are $1,703,700. The allocation is: - County $869,500 or 51% - Developer $834,200 or 49% Approximate cost per mile to grade, shape, fill and pave a comparable road at one time are approximately $235,000 per mile. Cost per mile of staged construction is approximately $284,100 or 20 percent greater. However, this cost is spread out over a 14 year period, so the time cost penalty for delaying construction is less than 1.5 percent per year. In other words, if current construction funds can be spent on projects with an effective rate of return greater than 1.5 percent it is economically preferable to defer construction to match growing traffic demand, rather Mr. Drew Scheltinga Page 5 September 28, 1984 than build now and have excess capacity. The maximum construction cost for the County in any single year would occur in 1989, in the amount of $186,200; average annual construction cost would be $62,200.

The projected traffic impact of this project on State Highway 85 should not significantly affect this four-lane divided highway. However, it is possible that the Weld County Road 32 intersection at S.H. 85 in Platteville will eventually warrant a traffic signal due to traffic generated by this development. We recommend that a traffic study be done to determine whether this development will cause this intersection to warrant a signal.

Box 850 Greeley, CO 80632-0850 Dear Mr. Chotvacs: ARIX is providing engineering and planning services to Beebe Draw Land Company, developers of a planned equestrian/recreation/residential project located east of Platteville in Weld County ( see enclosed vicinity map) . At full buildout, the project is proposed to include a maximum of 600 single family units, 100 condominium units and an equestrian center. The latter would provide regular boarding, training and practice facilities, and would host riding events. Primary regional access to/from the project would be via Weld County Road 39, to the north, and WCR 32, to the west and south . Total average daily site generated traffic at full development, projected no sooner than 1998, is estimated to be 6,200 vehicles per day. We estimate the directional orientation of this would be approximately 60% to/from the west and south, and 40% to/from the north . Although the project does not directly access a State highway, site traffic would use U.S. 85 via existing county roads and access points. Additional site related traffic would be approximately 3, 720 vpd on U. S. 85 northbound and southbound south of Platteville, and 2,480 vpd on U.S. 85 northbound and southbound north of Gilcrest . Using peak hour factors of 12 percent of ADT in the peak hour, and 70 percent of the peak hour in the peak direction, could thus increase traffic on U.S. 85 by up to 310 vehicles per hour in the peak direction by 1998.

Botham (303) 455-9589/2695 Alcott Street /Denver, Colorado 80211 August 29 , 1984 Mr . Morris Burk Beebe Draw Land Company , Ltd . 1551 Larimer Street Suite 2706 Denver , Colorado 80202 Dear Morris : This letter report summarizes our office investigation of the coal resources that occur in the Upper Cretaceous Laramie Formation beneath the Beebe Draw Land Company property , east of Platteville , Colorado . The Laramie Formation is approximately 300 to 400 feet thick below the property and gradationally overlies the Upper Cretaceous Fox Hills Formation . The lower 300 feet of the Laramie Formation is known to contain economically significant coal seams in numerous locations throughout the Denver Basin . The Beebe Draw Land Company property is located in part or all of Sections 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 22 and 23 of Township 3 North , Range 65 West . The property is outside the limits of the Boulder -Weld coal field . In this part of the Denver Basin the coal zone within the lower Laramie Formation is within 200 feet of the ground surface . A number of coal exploration drill holes have been drilled to the north and east of Township 3 North , Range 65 West . Most of the drill holes did not penetrate economically significant coal seams (greater than 5 feet thick ) . However , the data do indicate that a number of small non -contiguous areas to the east and south of Township 3 North , Range 65 West , are underlain by Laramie coal beds that are five feet thick or greater ( Kirkham & Ladwig , 1979 ) . At the Kingsburg Strip Mine , owned by Coors Energy Company and located in Sections 25 , 26 , 35 and 36 , Township 3 North , Range 64 West , coal is currently being mined from a five to eight foot thick coal seam beneath 60 to 160 feet of overburden . This is the only coal mine presently operating in Weld County . The mined coal is of subbituminous to bituminous grade . Our investigation has revealed that two coal exploration drill holes have been drilled in Township 3 North , Range 65 West . These are located in Sections 18 and 19 , less than one mile from the Beebe Draw Land Company property . Neither of these exploration holes indicates theexistenceof economically significant ``0 EN Hydrology • , Water Rights a A Environmental Analysis Urban Drainage eau w C Mr . Burk August 29 , 1984 Page 2 coal seams ( greater than five feet thick ) . It is not known if these two exploration holes penetrated the entire Laramie Formation . Currently , there are no areas within Township 3 North , Range 65 West , that are known to be underlain by Laramie coal beds that are greater than five feet in thickness .
