Cliff as my personal representatives in obtaining PUD zoning and Final approval of this 22 home project. Property legal description is Lot 15-C, Gilbaugh's Appaloosa Acres,4th Replat. Property is located in Section 33, T7N, R65 W, of the 6th PM, Weld County,Colorado. Thank y?x, es` Wake LLL D A. Bruce Johnson e.T APPALOOSA ACRES ESTATES, PUD WELD COUNTY STAFF'S CONCERNS OF SKETCH PLAN ARE HEREIN ADDRESSED OR RESOLVED NOVEMBER 10, 2003 SUBJECT: PK-1020, Appaloosa Acres Estates, PUD Sketch Plan of 22 lots and approximately 32 acres of common Open Space. Lot 15-C, Fourth Replat, being in the W2SW4 of Section 33, T7N, R65W, Weld County, Colorado. The concerns and resolution of Staff's comment letter, dated November 27, 2002,are addressed below by page and paragraph. 1. Page 2, Pam 5, SECTION 22-2-60.A.1,discusses the preservation of farm ground in Weld County. Although the AAE,PUD (Appaloosa Acres Estates,Planned Unit Development) is located within farm ground designated"Prime",not all of the ground is so designated. This ground has not been farmed, as a farm, for many years, and has been utilized as pasture ground. There is, also, no indication this ground, even without being developed, will ever again be farmed Commercially. Poor farm ground and irrigation water,cost of energy, and farm expenses are causing this farm and others to be taken our of use as farms. 2, Page 2, Pam 6, Section 22-2-60.D.1, discusses the agricultural communities impact. by the AAE,PUD. AAE,PUD will not negatively impact the agricultural community, since the present use of the ground is pasture with little irrigation. Very little income or benefit to the citizens of Weld County has been derived from this piece of ground. As a PUD, this ground will be more productive for Weld County residents as a residential PUD than a farm. There will be more real estate taxes collected from 22 homes than from 60 acres of pasture grass. Presently, the taxes are$225 per year for the total acreage, and with 22 homes, with an estimated value of $250,000,will generate some $31000 taxes to Weld County per year. AAE,PUD has been designed to allow more than 50%of total ground to remain in "Open Space"for the use by the 22 residents to graze horses and have a ridding trail,while maintaining agricultural use. 1 There is no infrastructure in place at this time. There are no irrigation ditches, but there is an underground pipeline on the west side of property. This pipeline will be used to irrigate the Open Space. 3. Page 2 & 3, Para 7 & 1, respectively, Section 22-2-70-.C1, discusses urban growth boundary areas. As mentioned, AAE,PUD is not,presently, designated in the urban growth area within the comprehensive plan of Weld County. Even if AAE,PUD was not being proposed, the comprehensive plan could be changed to make this property fall within the urban growth area. I will explain. There are 35 existing acreage's with homes within one-half mile radius of this property. 18 of which are adjacent to this property on the west side. Some of these 18 existing lots are not even one acre in size. It is apparent AAE,PUD could be within the urban growth area, even if the comprehensive plan doesn't show it as so. The AAE,PUD will be developed to take in account all County requirements for a orderly, safe, desirable county subdivision. 4. Page 3, Para 1,2,3,4, discusses health, safety and general welfare of Weld County Residents. Water service is being provided by North Weld County Water District and sewage by individual septic systems. Copies of a letter from North Weld County Water District and Weld County Attorney, Lee Morrison, showing water requirements are conditionally met is included herewith.. 5. Page 3,pars 5. Weld County School District, RE-2,requested payment of$1043 per lot,which will be paid upon builders obtaining a building permit or sooner by the developer, if required. A designated bus stop and mail box area are provided off of WCR 74, and on Leola Way. Children will not need to cross WCR 74 for pick up or delivery. School district agreement will be provided before final plat. 6. Page 4,para 1&2. We are requesting an entrance change from the "Sketch Plan" submittal. We are now asking for the main entrance for the PUD to be off of WCR 74, a paved road which is presently designated as an arterial road. We anticipate WCR 74 to be down graded to a collector as soon as Weld County Commissioners approve Weld's new road system. As you will see on the plat, we have provided deceleration and turn lanes off of WCR 74 as Public Works has recommended in their email. According to Public Works,the internal road system of AAE,PUD meets their requirements. The maintenance of the internal roads will be the responsibility of the County, as it will be built to their specifications. 2 Since we are not using WCR 41 as an entrance to AAE,PUD, we are not providing an"Off-Site Improvements Agreement" from the original Sketch Plan requirement. We will provide an"Improvements Agreement"at Final Plat. Since there may be changes required by the County at"Change of Zone". Diane Houghtaling is our licensed engineer and she has designed our PUD. We have met with Peter Schei of Public Works and he agrees our PUD meets county street requirements. See attached email. 7. Page 5, pars 3. All seven concerns of the Eaton Fire District have been addressed and incorporated on the plat, which is part of this submittal. Eaton Fire Dept has reviewed our new"Zone Change"plat and they prefer our new entrance off of WCR 71. They also do not see a need for an emergency entrance from Leola Way west to WCR 41. They have requested we install a fire hydrant on the west side of AAE,PUD, so the 18 existing homes will have some fire protection. We have agreed to the fire hydrant and it is included in the plat. 8. Page 5,pan 4. The Weld County Sheriff's Department concerns have been incorporated with this submittal. Specifically, speed bumps will be utilized to slow traffic. Since this is a rural area and we intend to provide rural type living, we will not be placing sidewalks within PUD. 9. Page 5, pars 7. Final drainage report, letter of approvals from school district, and mail service will be included with final plat submittal. Storm detention will be in the southern side of property, school bus pickup and mail delivery will be on the north side of WCR 74 within the PUD, so as not to cause dangerous situations for motorists or pedestrians. 10. Page 5,pars 8. Traffic impact study is included with engineer's report. 11. Page 6,pars 1,2,3,4,5. The Common Open Space will be landscaped as show on attached landscaping plat. We will make the Open Space restrictions a permanent part of the Home Owners Association, which will be mandatory for all home owners. Home Owners Association will be responsible for liability insurance, taxes and maintenance for the open space, and streets. The county required site distances for landscaping and roads are included on plat. 12. Page 6,pars 2. Irrigation of Open Space will be provided from existing underground irrigation pipe. We will use a drip system for trees, shrubs, flowers. Drip system will be installed prior to selling of homes. All landscaping will be done in accordance to Weld County requirements,as noted on landscaping plat. 13. Page 6,pars 4&5. The Open Space will not have equestrian facilities, other than existing bridal path. Any manure on the trail will be picked up, as needed,and recycled as fertilizer on Open Space. 3 No manure piles or other offensive material will not be allowed in Open Space or at residences per covenants. 14. Page 6,pars 6. According to the email, copy attached, from Lee Morrison,Weld County Attorney,the parcel we are proposing for development is zoned "Residential/Ag Lot". Therefore,the requirement of having home owners sign off on plat is not needed as Colorado is a"Recording State", which means the last plat recorded is the correct and only one to be used legally. 15. Page 7,pars 1. Under that part of Staff's letter concerning"Weld County's Right to Farm" code,page 6 & 7 of Staff letter,the wrong subdivision was mentioned. Your letter indicates a 65 lot PUD, Prairie Ponds PUD. Even though, we will include in our covenants"Weld County's Right to Farm"clause and on recorded plat. 16. Page 7,pars 3. The seller Wake, LLLP owns 100%of the mineral rights. There are no existing leases for the extraction of any minerals. Therefore, Wake. LLLP is not providing a drilling site on this property as it will not be drilled for oil or gas. See letter on Mineral Right Ownership. 17. Page 7,pan 4. According to Section 22-5-80.A1.,we need to provide evidence there is or is not viable mineral resources for extraction. Within our "Geotechnical Engineering Report"complied by Northern Colorado Geotech, on page 3, second paragraph from the bottom, indicates there is not viable mineral resources under said property. 18. Page 7,para 5. We understand and will comply with the County's Bulk Requirements listed for the Estate Zone. 19 Page 7,pars 6. Since we have changed our entrance to AAE,PUD from WCR 41 to WCR 74, we have not included a"Shared Improvement Agreement". However, we will have a complete"Improvement Agreement" for the Final Plat. 20. Page 7,pars 7. Utility easements,per county code, are included on Plat. 21. Page 7&8,pars 3&1. All racement dimensions are on plat. 22 Page 8,According to the Colorado Geological Survey,they would like AAE,PUD to be on Public Sewer. There is not a sewer line within one and one-half miles and if it could be extended, it would require a lift station west of said property, all of which is not feasible. Eaton will not allow anyone outside of City Limits to use City sewer. Percolation tests will be conducted on all septic systems prior to construction. If ground does not have correct percolation,material will be brought in to correct 4 this problem. Should tests indicate the existing water table will be negatively affected, we will require enclosed septic systems on those lots. We will require dual septic leach fields,which will become part of building requirements and covenants. The covenants will state no trees, buildings, or permanent structures may be placed or built over either of the two leach fields. 23. Page 8, pars 7. The Soil Conservation District indicates some soils within PUD may contain severe conditions. We will address this concern when we build homes by doing a soils test on each lot. If soils are found to have problems, necessary construction techniques will be used to mitigate. 24 Page 8, pars 8. Due to the large expense of doing a final drainage report at the Zone Change,we ask you to wave this requirement until the Final Plat. We have included a"Preliminary Drainage Report". In summary,we recognize we are not in an urban scale development area,as noted on County Maps,but due to the large number of existing properties surrounding this parcel,we believe we are not developing a PUD in an area that a precedent hasn't already been set. We plan on making AAE,PUD a safe, viable, economically beneficial Planned Unit Development for Weld County. We believe we will be creating the highest and best use for a parcel of ground that is not being farmed, commercially,now or in the future. We would like to thank the Weld County Planning staff for their assistance and guidance through this zoning process. Respectfully, Clifford and Paul Clift r^" 5 Kim Ogle--Appaloosa Acres Lot 15-C � Page 1 From: LEE Morrison To: Kim Ogle Date: 9/30/03 4:44PM Subject: -Appaloosa Acres Lot 15-C Kim I have reviewed the plats and discussed the matter with yourself and Mr Johnson and Mr Clift. It appears to me that the lot 15-C, under the current Unit Development Zoning would only allow for a single additional residence . However, the potential exists that the lot, if rezoned, could be made available for a PUD with multiple lots. I cannot find covenants, conservation easements or deeds or other restrictions on the development rights for that parcel which prevent the application for such a change of zone. I also cannot find any documentation which indicates that the owners of the adjoining lots have the right to control the development rights on that parcel and therefore their signatures will not be required before a change of zone is applied for. It is true that there is language indicating the intent of the parcel was for open space for the parcels and but that language alone does not preclude further rezoning. I do not express any opinion as to whether the lot owners might have a private claim of action against such a change of zone or whether such a change is compatible with the existing development. I am simply stating an application may be filed. Please advise Mr Clift that this issue has been resolved . I will leave your files with Diane to be picked up . Lee D.

Greeley, Colorado 80634 Peter Schei Weld County Public Works 1111 H Street Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Peter, Historically this 60± site produce 7.3 cfs in the 5 year storm and 45.5 cfs in the 100 year storm. With the development of this site the runoff will increase to 99.6 cfs in the 100 year storm. The excess of runoff between the historic 5 year storm and the developed 100 year event will be detained in ponds on the south side of the development. These ponds will re-seeded with native grasses. The depth of these ponds will be approximately 3 feet deep. Attached are the preliminary time of concentration, runoff and detention pond calculation sheets. A complete drainage study will be provided with the Final Plat. r- If you have any questions, please call me at 356-2312. Sincerely, Diane M.

HOUGHTALING 1119 12th Street. Greeley, Colorado 80634 Peter Schei Weld County Public Works 1111 H Street Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Peter, This site will include 22 single family homes and will generate 211 additional daily one- way trips on the adjacent roadways(see Figure 2). This estimate is based on the ITE, Trip Generation, 6 Edition, Land Use 210. In the morning peak hour an additional 17 one-way trips will be added and in the evening peak hour an additional 22 one-way trips will be added. One access point will serve this site. It is estimated that 98 percent of the traffic would come from the west and 2 percent would come from the east. Based on these estimates 14 vehicles will turn left into the site during the evening peak hour and 12 vehicles will turn right out of the site in the morning peak hour(See Figure 2). This volume warrants a left turn lane but no right turn lanes on WCR 74 per the Colorado Department of Transportation Access Code. Using a design speed of 55 mph, there is insufficient distance between the intersection of WCR 41 and the site entrance for the full redirect taper, deceleration and storage. We understand the roadway will be down-graded to a collector in the near future. There is sufficient distance for a design speed of 50 mph. In the interest of safety, we propose providing the full deceleration and storage lengths of the 55 mph design speed and shortening the redirect taper. This variance was based on the fact that cars can use the deceleration lane taper width to stay on the road but cannot be expected to stop faster. In addition this design allows for re-striping when the road is down-graded. Full roadway plans for the widening of WCR 74 will be provided at the Final Plat stage. If you have any questions, please call me at 378-7220. Sincerely, ' 0.---te--(--.___..07/344 Diane M. Houghtaling, P. P I I I I A / *1' , W I IIF r _ \ I U a DIANE M.

Noise and vibration. We will not be creating any noise. Any construction noise created would be similar to a farm tractor. 2. Smoke and dust. We will not be creating any smoke or dust. 3. Heat, light and glare. We will not be creating any of these. 4. Visual/aesthetic impact. We will be creating better visual and aesthetic views than exists presently. We will be landscaping with trees and irrigated pasture land. 5. Electrical interference. None. 6. Water pollution. We will create some runoff of storm water, but our detention ponds will hold any additional water and pollutants. We do not anticipate any pollutants will be created,other than what exist now. 7. Wastewater disposal. None 8. Wetland removal. None. 9. Erosion and sedimentation. If any, it will go to detention ponds where it can be cleaned out as needed. 10. Excavating, filling and grading. As we build houses,we will excavate and fill in accordance with Weld County's Building Dept requirements. Grading for roads will be by a licensed contractor, who will be required to provide a water truck for any dust problems. Some lots will need to be scraped of vegetation to provide adequate building site. Scrapings will be spoiled over low areas and into new berms, if needed,or hauled off site. 11. Drilling,ditching and dredging. None 12. Air pollution. None 1 riN 13. Solid Waste. We will be using septic systems for homes. We will design dual leach field systems, which can not have trees, shrubs, or buildings placed on them. This requirements will be in the covenants. Septic systems will meet Weld County Health Dept. requirements. 14. Wildlife removal. None 15.Natural vegetation removal. None, other than road and home sites. 16. Radiation/radioactive material. None 17. Drinking water source. North Weld County Water District has agreed to provide drinking water. See Lee Morrison's conditional approval(attached)of water supply plan. 18. Traffic Impacts. See engineer's Traffic Report,which is attached. COMPONENT TWO - SERVICE PROVISION IMPACTS. 1. Schools. Eaton School District will accept and bus children from and to AAE,PUD (Appaloosa Acres Estates, Planned Unit Development). We are providing a bus pickup and turn around within the PUD. This will eliminate any dangerous situations on WCR 71. District's final approval of bus stop will be submitted with Final submittal. 2. Law Enforcement. The Sheriff's Dept. has requested speed control measures and sidewalks for this PUD. The street name is okay with Dept. We will provide speed bumps or dips to slow traffic. We will not be providing sidewalks, since we want to maintain a rural environment. 3. Fire Department. All streets meet Depts. requirements. They do not require an emergency exit from Leola Way west to WCR 41. We have placed fire hydrants at distances acceptable to Dept, including an extra one adjacent to the existing homes to the west. This additional hydrant will provide needed fire protection for these existing homes. 4. Ambulance. Ambulance service is for all of Weld County. They do prefer paved roads to homes, which we are providing. The Eaton Fire Dept has approved our PUD and the Ambulance Service follows the lead of the Fire Departments. Ambulance service does want addresses that correspond to WCR 71, which we will provide when we submit Final Plat. 5. Transportation. With our entrance being WCR 71. which is paved and designated an Arterial Road, we will be adding deceleration, acceleration and turn lanes. 2 The cost of which can not be determined until we know if Planning Staff approves our design. We have enough room on the north side of WCR71 to accommodate these improvements. At"Final"platting of PUD,we will provide a bank letter, which will show the cost of improvements and an agreement from the bank stating they will provide us money necessary to build all roads. 6. Traffic Impact. We have included a traffic impact analysis from Diane Houghtaling, a licensed and professional engineer. 7. Storm drainage. If agreeable to the Staff, we have provided a preliminary drainage plan,only, and not a Final Drainage Plan. We will provide a Final Drainage plan when we submit our Final Plat. The expense of a Drainage Report is significant and if this PUD is not approved at Zone Change,we will have spent $1000s of dollars for naught. The storm water will drain to the south and proper measures will be taken to provide adequate storm water drainage. 8. & 9. Utility Provisions. We have provided easements for water, electric, gas, and telephone. North Weld Water District will be providing drinking water(see attached letter); Atmos energy will be providing gas, by law,and electrical service will be provided by Xcel Energy,bylaw;telephone service will be provided by Qwest. No other utilities are needed. Atmos and Xcel has services in WCR 71 and WCR 41, and will provide a letter stating they will provide service, with Final Plat. 10, Sewage disposal. Septic systems will used in PUD. Dual leach fields will be shown on plat. Covenants will icstiict home owners from not placintbuildings or plant trees or shrubs over fields. As needed, each lot will have soil's test done to determine the tank and leach field requirements. Weld County Health Dept will review each application for septic systems. 11. Structural Road Improvements Plan. WCR 71 will be widened to accommodate accel, decel, and turn lanes. Road will be widen to County specifications. There will not be any need for additional easements, since road widening will be on our land or within easements. COMPONENT THREE - LANDSCAPING ELEMENTS, 1. Landscape plan is included with this submittal. Provided by Alpine Gardens. 2. There will be a requirement within the covenants not allowing home owners to plant trees over a certain height on the north side of their property. We wish to provide environmental protection to each property owner, so renewable energy, the sun, may be used for passive or active solar energy use by home owners. 3 As you will see on the Landscape plan, buffering with the use of berms,trees, or shrubs is limited. We want to maintain an"open feeling"for the homeowners, and neighbors.This allows us to maintain the rural look as it is today. At this time,the perimeter of the PUD will not have any fencing except what is present now. We may in the Final Plat want to provide white, vinyl fencing on the south side of the PUD. Costs prohibit this type of fence at this time. 3. The Home Owners Association will be required to provide maintenance of landscaping,either by owners or by contracting out to a landscape company. Since we will be using Xeriscape design for landscape,there will be little requirement for watering of landscape. We will water trees and shrubs by drip system every week or as needed. Dryland pasture grasses will be flood irrigated from existing underground piping on the west side of property. Normal maintenance of landscape will be done in accordance to Alpine Nursery's recommendations. The Home Owners Association will be billed monthly for the maintenance of the landscape. 4. An agreement for the landscaping will be submitted with Final Plat. At this point in time,Alpine Gardens will be providing us the cost of the landscape plan, so we don't know the expense for this conceptual zoning plan. We will be planting"cool weather grass",trees and shrubs in the spring or fall of 2004. 5. There is adequate irrigation water to provide water for Xcerscaped Landscape. We have two shares of Larimer and Weld,which have a average start date of May 20 and an average end date of water on September 15. We will flood irrigate from existing under ground pipes on west edge of property. Irrigation for the pasture grass will be from the west to the east on the west side of the Open Space and from north to south on the east side of the PUD. Trees and shrubs will be irrigated by drip system. COMPONENT FOUR- SITE DESIGN 1.Features Statement. The ground is flat and slopes to the southeast.No irrigation ditches are on the property, since the irrigation water is piped under ground to the northwest corner of property and runs south along west side of property. There is an existing easement around the perimeter of the property for the use of the 18 property owners to the west and for the use by residents of AAE,PUD. We all are responsible for the maintenance of this easement. Easement is shown on plat. 2. We believe the AAE,PUD zoning for this property meets the goals and policies of Weld County for the following reasons. A. We are providing Open Space of over 30 acres from the total 60 acre parcel. This Open Space will be remain agricultural as it is now, pasture 4 ground. We are providing a modern, integrated PUD,while developing this agricultural property into it's highest and best use. B. AAE,PUD will not increase Weld taxpayer's cost, since we are developing the PUD according to Weld County's specifications. We will generate significantly more tax revenue for Weld County residents from our PUD than the property is presently as ag. C. All home buyers will have to belong to the HOA and follow the requirements. We will incorporate"Right to Farm" clause in all documents home owners will receive and the recording plat. D. We are being very creative in our lot design and with the homes. We will integrate solar energy as an alternative source of heat. We wish to create living that will provide an environmentally sound PUD, not only for the residents of AAE,PUD, but to the 35 neighbors in immediate area. E. We will maintain the existing topography. 3. We meet the PUD requirements by providing Open Space beyond the usual requirements. We have one acre lots and over 30 acres of Open Space. This equates to over 2.6 acres per residence. We are following Weld County guide lines for the PUD. We have mitigated oil and gas drilling. We have provided for irrigation of the Open Space with the use of existing irrigation piping and including drip system for trees and shrubs. We will provide covenants, HOA requirements, and the Open Space will be a special feature for those wanting to ride horses, walk,or just relax in the open air. We will also provide lot and home designs for the use of solar energy. 4. It is our understanding the 18 neighbors to the west already have a PUD. With the 18 lots west of our PUD and 17 other residences within 1/2 mile of our PUD we believe AAE,PUD is compatible with the area.. It is my understanding the 18 neighbors to the west were upset with the original "Sketch Plan"of AAE,PUD due to the entrance off of WCR 41. We have changed the entrance from WCR 41 to WCR 74. There will not be any traffic from or to our PUD off of road 41. Additional dust will not be an issue. We are providing them with a needed fire hydrant, at no cost to them. They will be able to continue the use of the existing easement aroung our PUD. 5. AAE,PUD is not in a"flood plain"or the airport overlay. If a Geological Hazard is present,we will require a soil's test for all needed septic systems and comply with test's results. We will require"engineered foundations" for basements or crawlspaces, as needed. We will require drains around the homes, as needed. Also, sump pumps will be used as required. 5 COMPONENT FIVE - COMMON OPEN SPACE USAGE, 1. Our 30acre,plus, Open Space will be an essential part of AAE,PUD. We believe it will provide community and be an environmental sound asset not only to the home owners but for Weld County. We want the Open Space to flow into the surrounding neighbors and allow them the visual use of this open space. We intend to do this by the following. A. Open Space will be permanent and owned by the HOA. B. The HOA and the covenants will be established before any sales occur. C. Membership will be required and mandatory for each residence. D. The HOA will be responsible for liability insurance,taxes and maintenance of Open Space and or any other facilities that may be incorporated. E. The HOA will be empowered to levy assessments, which may become a lien for any resident not paying there fair share of maintaining the Open Space. 6. We recognize the importance of the HOA maintaining the Open Space. We will include the necessary documents to the home owners concerning the County Commissioners maintenance of the Open Space should the home owners allow Open Space to become a nuisance. We will also inform,by document, any expense County Commissioners incur to maintain Open Space if HOA doesn't, will be billed to them. 7. We will be designating over 50%of AAE,PUD to Open Space. 8. AAE,PUD is not seeking less than 15%for Open Space. COMPONENT SIX- SIGNAGE. 1. (C1.3,5). We will be placing a curved sign at the entrance of the PUD. This sign will be 2'X8'X4'. The sign will be made of natural stone and metal. It will be installed within the PUD and not on county road right-away. The sign will be a intragal part of the PUD and meets all set back requirements. The entrance sign will not cause glare nor can it be confused as a road sign. The sign will have a cement footer for support. Any maintenance of sign will be expense of HOA. Sign location is on the included plat. 2. (I), 1 to 4). The entrance sign will not have any moving or removable parts. Nothing will be hung from the entrance sign. The sign will be built according to the Uniform Building Code. The sign will not create any hazards to pedestrians or traffic. 3. The only other signs within PUD roads will be County approved traffic signs. .r. 6 4.
