RE: Recommendation to oppose Tract 1 Meadow Vale Farm 3rd Filing Change of Zone and Amended Final Plat
{Situate in the SW Y.of Section 4,T2N, R68Wj
Dear Sheri:
Thank you for referring Tract 1 Meadow Vale Farm 3r° Filing Change of Zone and Amended Final Plat to the School
District. 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 Mead Elementary, Mead Middle and Skyline High School Feeder, will add 1 new single-family dwelling
unit with a potential impact of 1 additional student in this feeder. The District opposes this development because, as
indicated in the chart below, Mead Middle and Skyline High schools will exceed 125%of their capacity with the addition
of students from this development. Please note, however, that the District has adopted a mitigation policy that may
allow for a reconsideration of this recommendation. The accepted mitigation involves a voluntary per unit payment by
the developer to assist in providing classroom capacity in this area. Please contact this office for more information.

High 1323 1457 0 1457 1100/n 1697 1697 1289
Total 846 1 1111 1112
The recommendation of the District noted above applies to the attendance boundaries current as of the date of this
letter. New school facilities approved under the 2002 bond could affect the project's attendance area and capacity in
the future, however, facilities in this area are not anticipated to be constructed for several years. Attendance areas and
a resolution to capacity shortfalls will remain undetermined until those facilities are near completion. Also, the School
District is in the process of reviewing the effects of new facilities on the 2006 capacity projections listed in the chart
above. It is possible that these figures will change in the near future. Transportation would most likely be provided
under the current attendance boundaries.
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. Although cash-in-lieu fees are insufficient to help provide for construction of schools and resolving
capacity shortages, it does assist in the purchase of land for future school sites. 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.
Sincerely,
.�-•�

Memorandum
TO: Sheri Lockman, W.C. Planning DATE:January 6, 2003
COLORADO FROM: Pam Smith, W.C. Health Departmen T�
CASE NO.: AMPZ-539, Katherine Oliver/Meadow Vale Farm Phase II
The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. This request is to amend the
Change of Zone plat to remove the notation of"Potential Civic Use" from Tract 1 and allow a single
family residential structure on the site. The applicant has included documentation from St. Vrain
Sanitation District and Left Hand Water District that services are available for this revised use.
Therefore, the comments and conditions of approval recommended during the initial Change of Zone
review (February 16, 2000) are still applicable. They are as follows:
The application has satisfactorily addressed water and sewer service. Water will be provided by the
Left Hand Water District and sewer will be provided by the St. Vrain Sanitation District.
The application materials adequately address the potential environmental impacts as described in
Chapter 27 of the PUD Ordinance. The application states that the surface water will be protected from
sedimentation and pollutant run-off during development through best management practices. The
application also states that no wetlands will be removed during development, and in fact will be
preserved as open space.
We recommend that the following conditions be a part of any approval:
1) The applicant shall obtain water and sewer service from the Left Hand Water District and the St.
Vrain Sanitation District.
2) In the event that 5 or more acres are disturbed during the construction and development of this
site, the applicant shall obtain a stormwater discharge permit from the Water Quality Control
Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment. Silt fences shall be
maintained on the downgradient portion of the site during all parts of the construction phase of the
project.
3) During development of the site, all land disturbances shall be conducted so that nuisance
conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions,at the request of the Weld
County Health Department, a fugitive dust control plan must be submitted.
4) In accordance with the Regulations of the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission any
development that disturbs more than 5 acres of land must incorporate all available and practical
methods that are technologically feasible and economically reasonable in order to minimize dust
r- emissions.
a) If land development creates more than a 25 acre contiguous disturbance, or exceeds 6 months
in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a fugitive dust control plan, submit an air pollution
emissions notice, and apply for a permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment.
5)Wetlands shall be preserved as open space.
Our staff observed that gravel mining operations and extensive residential-type development has been
established near the proposed development. It is our opinion that any future property owner should be
made aware that these uses exist and that they may be exposed to noise, dust, flies, odors, etc. in
excess of the common urban experience. Also, we recommend that the"Right to Farm" covenant be
required to be placed on any recorded plat.
