There were two agreements submitted, private and public. I (' recommend that we combine the public and private improvements agreement into one due to the fact that both areas will be county-maintained. I have reviewed the transportation of Exhibit A for public maintenance. All quantities and unit costs appear to be adequate to complete the project. i The applicant needs to resubmit the Improvements Agreement utilizing the public road maintenance form, sign it, and seal together with the corporation seal, if required. The agreement needs to be resubmitted for verification and to secure the type of collateral being posted with Lee Morrison. Once these two items are completed, Planning Services should verify all non-transportation items associated with the Exhibit A portion. Then it can be scheduled for the BOCC hearing for acceptance. pc: Jacqueline Hatch, Planner Longs Peak Estates file M:\P LANN INGVongspeak.DOC EXHIBIT 2003-1924 1 4 (9) 14.7t Weld Cow ty Plimir: ve7artment MEMORANDUMIAptvt--/A TO: Jacqueline Hatch, Planner DATE: 19-June-2003 W� FROM: Peter Schei,P.E., Civil ,Public Works Department.

The applicant shall dimension,label,and dedicate a 55-foot right-of-way on the final plat for CR 12. CR 12 is gravel between CR 5 and CR 7. Cy'/The Geotechnical Engineering Report by Terracon dated June 18, 2002, states that mapping by the Colorado Geological Survey indicates bedrock, weathered bedrock, and coluvium may have high swell potential. Additionally, the site is in an area of severe subsidence hazard. Notes to these effects must be included on the final plat as a public notice. The report states that the subsidence hazard should be addressed prior to development. Public Works asks the applicant to address this hazard prior to any further county hearings.

The District has reviewed the development proposal in terms of future student impacts and available school capacity and has the following RECOMMENDATION: the District is OPPOSED to the approval of this application due to this development's impact on already overcrowded school facilities. The Board of Education has established a District-wide policy of opposing new developments that add to the student enrollment of schools projected to be at or above 125% of their capacity. This particular application, which is currently located in the Erie Elementary, and Erie Middle/Senior High Feeder, will add 7 new single-family dwelling units with a potential student impact of 4 additional students in this feeder. The District opposes this development because, as indicated in the chart below, Erie Elementary and Erie Middle/Senior High Schools will exceed 125% of their capacity with the addition of students from this development. CAPACITY INFORMATION CAPACITY BENCHMARK (includes projected students,plus development's student Impact) School Building Stdts. Stdt. 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 Level Capacity Oct-02 Impact Stdts Cap.

School District policy acknowledges two possible ways to accomplish this. The first is for the developer to agree to mitigate the development's potential student impact on capacity by agreeing to a voluntary, per unit contribution to the School District (in addition to cash-in-lieu funds noted below). Funds collected under this policy would most likely add classroom space within the subject feeder or, in situations where additional capacity is known to be eminent, provide portables. The second way to resolve capacity concerns would be for the developer to commit to not constructing any residential prior to the availability of school capacity. Should agreement be reached on either of these possibilities,this office will write a new letter to Weld County updating this referral.The developer can contact this office directly to discuss either of these possibilities further. The recommendation of the District noted above applies to the attendance boundaries current as of the date of this letter. The 2002 approved school bond allows for a high school and an elementary school within the next few years. These facilities will likely require a boundary change at the elementary level, which could affect the attendance are of this development in the future. Capacity at the elementary and secondary levels will also likely change, however, the impact of the new facilities on capacity projections is still uncertain and will remain undetermined until a construction schedule is finalized. Under current attendance boundaries,transportation would most likely be provided. Should the County decide to recommend approval of this development proposal, the School District's cash-in-lieu and/or land dedication requirements would still need to be satisfied. This requirement involves the dedication of land with the adjacent infrastructure or payment of an equivalent cash-in-lieu fee based on the student yield of the development. Since this property is not a likely future school site, the fee would be assessed per the attached chart. Please let me know of any further questions.

The building envelopes for lots 6 and 7 as shown on this plan do not conform to those agreed upon by CGS in response to studies by Western Environment and Ecology and Dr. John Abel. Both of these parties produced building envelopes for the lots, and John Rinko combined their work in Figure 3 (Recommended Building Envelopes per John F. Abel &Western Jacqueline Hatch - Longs's Peak 5.doc Page 7, r Environment Reports) in a letter to CGS dated June 20,2001. However the Welsch drawing shows the building envelopes for lots 6 and 7 as devised only by John Abel,which includes areas where multiple seams were mined;these areas were excluded by Western Environment and Ecology. It is recommended that the building envelopes on lots 6 and 7 be restricted to those shown on the referenced Figure 3. I will send you a copy of this drawing in the mail. The building envelopes should appear on the final plat to be recorded by the county. The plat notes should state that lots 3 through 7 are located in a geohazard zone over a shallow coal mine. Your draft comments for Longs Peak Estates look fine(there is a typo on page 7, comment B, cole to coal.) Please call me if there are any questions. Yours truly, Celia Greenman Geologist tr- .-. Hello
