Staff determined that the landscape improvements have not been met in several locations. A discussion of this topic follows: Detail 1 of Drawing A1.0, titled "Survey/Landscape Plan" delineates four plant species that were approved by the Department of Planning Services for installation at this facility. Further, the layout and location of the approved materials is noted on this Plan. In addition, this note is on the plat: "Maintenance & Irrigation Schedule: Crown Castle will contract with a local Landscape Company to water trees during the Spring to Fall growing season and twice during the Winter for a period of two (2) years. Plant material will be replaced and maintained as required on an ongoing basis for the full term of the lease." That being said, the field check for the above referenced property determined that the approved plant material in several instances had been substituted, specifically, Fallugia paradoxa, Apache Plume. Potentilla fruticosa'Gold Drop',Gold Drop Potentilla was substituted for this plant. Further, the locations of the plant material is entirely different than delineated on the above referenced plan. Additionally, several Pinus ponderosa, Ponderosa Pine; Pinus edulis, Pinyon Pine; and Juniperus scopulorum 'Cologreen', Rocky Mountain Juniper are either severely stressed, dying or dead. Staff noted four dead trees, two dying trees and numerous stressed trees, primarily due to lack of water and adequate nutrients, in the form of fertilizer. Referencing the same drawing, the Plan Detail notes "native grasses to remain, restore all disturbed areas with native seed (Arkansas Valley Seeds, Inc. Dryland Pasture Mix-1 at 1000 pounds/square foot). Grass seed to be broadcast per Colorado Nurseyman Association (CNA) specifications." Staff did not view evidence that this had been accomplished, nor was there evidence that any attempt had been made to establish the Dryland Pasture mix. Staff did note a vigorous growth of noxious weeds on site, specifically in the disturbed areas of construction and in and around all tree saucers. The Department of Planning Services has determined that the release of collateral (Release of Safeco Insurance Company of America, Bond number 612-27-58) may be premature given all issues associated with this development. Staff will be recommending to the Board of County Commissioners that the existing collateral be retained pending completion of the above referenced items to the satisfaction of the Department of Planning Services. Should you have any questions or need further information, I may be reached at the above address, telephone number or e-mail address.

TO: Board of County Commissioners COLORADO DATE: November 22, 2004 FROM: Kim Ogle, Planning Manager Vo SUBJECT: Crown Castle International 7300 Miller Drive, Suite B Longmont, CO 80504 Site Plan Review 325 In early November 2004, the Department of Planning Services preformed a site investigation of the completed improvements for a seventy (70) foot monopole cell tower and supporting equipment buildings located at 3822 State Highway 119, Case number SPR-325 at the request of the Clerk to the Board's office. The completed improvements for which a draw is being requested includes Landscape & Fencing improvements. The Department of Planning Services' recommends the withholding of the improvements collateral until the dead, dying or missing landscape items have been replaced and all areas suffering from erosion and/or containing noxious weeds have been addressed. In June 2003, the applicant submitted a replacement bond for forty-three thousand five hundred and no/100s ($ 43,500.00) dollars from the Safeco Insurance Company of America, Bond number 612-27-58 with no expiration. Given the present site conditions, the Departments of Planning Services recommends that forty-three thousand five hundred and no/100s ($ 43,500.00) dollars be retained until such time that the existing site improvements have been addressed and approved by this office.
