I have also reviewed for Erie the corresponding applications for land within the Town boundaries which include a Site Improvement Plan for a private school and a Plat Amendment to realign a collector roadway. These applications are currently scheduled for hearings before the Town of Erie Planning Commission on May 7th and before the Board of Trustees on May 13th. Based on my review of the Weld County plans, there are no conflicts with the Town's plans, although there is one addition to the Site Plan that the Town has requested - and which the applicant has agreed to add - that is not reflected on the current Weld County plans. The Town has requested that a fence, a minimum of 4' high, be installed along the south and east sides of the proposed ball fields for the purpose of discouraging parking along these two roadways, and to prevent errant balls from entering the roadways. At a meeting earlier today,the applicant agreed to add the phased installation of the requested fence such that the south side of the ball field is fenced with phase one, and the east side of the field is fenced with phase two. With that addition to the plans, the Town has no further issues and supports the approval of the requests. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at 303- 516-9550. Sincerely, ® �,� Si(92 Sr}>p.Q erm Jackie Thompson Town of Erie Consultant 645 Ilolhrook• P.O.

Dear Ms. Mika: Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above referenced request. Vista Ridge Development on behalf of Vista Ridge/Boulder Academy has requested approval to develop playfields, located generally in the northwest quadrant of State Highway 7 and the Sheridan Parkway alignment. The 600-foot wide Open Lands buffer—established by a 1998 Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Town of Erie, Weld County and the City and County of Broomfield—is within the proposal. The entirety of the project is within the planning area of the 1-25 Sub-Area Plan, which was collaboratively planned, as set forth in the IGA. The City and County of Broomfield requests the following comments be considered, pursuant to the IGA and the 1-25 Sub-Area Plan: Buffer Administration 1. The 600-foot buffer should be clearly disclosed and preserved on project planning documents. Permitted and prohibited uses should also be clearly articulated. 2. Section 3.3 of the IGA addresses the buffer and the manner in which it is to be preserved. It is not clear how the buffer is being preserved (e.g., conservation easement, acquisition or other appropriate conveyance). 3. Dimension the minimum 600-foot wide Open Lands buffer from the centerline of the extended Sheridan Boulevard right-of-way. 4. Will Broomfield residents be permitted to use the play fields? Broomfield Recreation Services can work with the Academy and, Weld County and Erie to arrange for joint use of the play fields, if mutually agreed by all parties. 5. It would be appropriate to jointly discuss with the Town of Erie Open Space and Trails Advisory Board, Weld County and the Broomfield Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee a coordinated design and landscape treatment along certain portions of the community buffer in general. This community buffer could be jointly designed and planned so a consistent character is achieved, which may be difficult to attain incrementally on a site-by-site basis. 6. Consider adding to these plans all of the conditions imposed by the Erie Board of Trustees (which Broomfield supports per our 4 December 2002 letter) on the related Site Improvement Plan in its jurisdiction so the Board's intent for this area is not lost over time. 7. The slight encroachment by the outdoor playground area is consistent with recreational uses, which are permitted in Open Lands. 8. Will the Weld County parcel be annexed into the Town of Erie in the future? Project Design & Site Improvements 9. Please provide a detail of any fencing. Fence design has an important aesthetic impact as viewed through the Open Lands buffer. 10. Drainage structures and facilities and grading within the 600-foot Open Lands buffer should be appropriately designed to appear integrated into the Open Lands buffer. Consider a gentler slope in the drainage swale. Context-sensitive design is needed to retain the Open Lands buffer character. 11. Please ensure adequate ROW is preserved for Sheridan Parkway, as proportioned between jurisdictions. 12. Grading should permit a detached sidewalk separated from the roadway by an adequate parkway. Broomfield standards, for example, provide for a meandering, eight-foot sidewalk along Sheridan Parkway separated from the roadway by an eight-foot parkway. 13. Additional plant materials in the 600-foot Open Lands buffer outside of the play fields should be considered, particularly along Sheridan Parkway. 14. We note that the design standards set forth in the 1-25 Sub-Area plan may be applied to this project. However, we have not attempted such a detailed level of review in our role as a referral agency. Broomfield requests review of land use applications on phase two improvements or other material amendments to this Special Review Permit and future review of any proposal that involved illuminated the playfields for nighttime use. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 303.464.5869 or via e-mail at mranuThci.broomfield.co.us. We appreciate all of the collaboration between Erie, Weld County and Broomfield in this area and believe the results benefit all communities. Thank you. incerel Manjeet Ranu, AICP Senior Planner Planning Division Community Development Department cc: Community Development Director,Town of Erie,P.O.Box 750,Erie,CO 80516 Terrance Ware, Director of Planning Kirk Oglesby, Director of Community and Governmental Affairs Kevin Standbridge,Assistant City and County Manager Kristan Pritz,Director of Open Space and Trails Filed: E:\planning\manjeet rams\outside referrals\weld county vista ridge referral.doc Hello
