South Hill Annexation
Statement of Community Need
The A.L. and Ruby M. Frye Family Limited Partnership is requesting annexation of the
South Hill property to the Town of Windsor, Colorado. The area of the annexation is
282.8 acres, and the property is located immediately north of Weld County Road 62, on
either side of Weld County Road 17. This annexation, if granted, will be meet a
community need for quality housing in a manner compliant with the Town of Windsor
Comprehensive Plan.
Community Need
The Town of Windsor is in need of land that can be developed for housing to meet
anticipated future demand. The Town has experienced rapid growth during the 1990s
and early 2000s as a result of increased employment opportunities and its reputation for
providing a high quality of life.
The Town prepared a Comprehensive Plan to guide future decision making by Town
officials such that sound planning principles will direct the nature of future growth and
development. Land within the Town limits that can meet future housing demand and
that is consistent and in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan is needed; the degree to
which the proposed South Hill annexation will do this is presented below.
Project Description
The South Hill property, owned by the A.L. and Ruby M. Frye Family Limited
Partnership, is located at the intersection of County Roads 62 and 17 in Weld County,
Colorado and just south of the Town of Windsor, with easy access to Greeley, Loveland,
Fort Collins and I-25. It is adjacent to the Pelican Hills development and the proposed
Water Valley South development. The property is located within the Town of Windsor
Growth Management Area and is eligible for annexation based on contiguity.
According to the Comprehensive Plan, the property is planned as High Density Estate
Single Family Residential, E-2 zoning. With this proposed annexation, the applicants are
requesting RMU/Residential Mixed Use zoning, with residential density established
based on E-2 uses. A Bluff Region overlay parallels the Cache La Poudre River and
crosses the northern portion of the property. The density in the E-2 district would be
one dwelling unit per acre. A density bonus may be awarded for providing open space
and/or passive and active recreational uses to encourage clustering of homes.
The South Hill property contains 282.8 acres. Under the master plan prepared for the
property by Jim Sell Design about 49% of the site would be preserved in open space.
The open space would include lands left in their native state (bluff land and wetlands), as
Statement of Need
i vxoircrvu.ry nr�+���:noes,n vF.xrno,ns'ianrvinro'ue'enune June 25,2003
Page 1
well as parks, green belts, and drainage ways. A corresponding open space bonus would
be 20 percent in E-2 zoning, or 56 dwelling units, for a maximum of 338 units based on
E-2 uses. Under the current E-2 zoning standards the smallest single-family lot allowed
is 7,500 s.f. The master plan provides estate lots (1/3 to 'A acre) in the southwest corner
of the property and other larger lots (typically about 1/4 acre) in the remainder of the
western third of the property, while using the interior of the site to maximize higher
densities.
The proposed South Hill Master Plan, with open space for wetlands and bluffs, results in
three clusters: one cluster northeast of the intersection of County Road 62 and 17 and set
back from the bluffs; one cluster west of County Road 17 and northeast of the
drainageway and wetlands that cross the property from the northwest to the southeast;
and one cluster southwest of this drainageway and wetlands.
A buffer zone of 100' from the top of the bluff/ridgeline has been proposed in the Master
Plan, per the related goal established in Comprehensive Plan. This would allow homes
that will be built in this area to enjoy the existing views without compromising ridgeline
views from the northeast.
Walking trails will surround and cross through the property allowing access along the
ridgeline, property perimeter, park and wetlands, and linking neighborhoods within the
project. The park will be an approximate 5-acre (unencumbered by detention ponds or
wetlands) dedicated,public neighborhood park. It will be located within about a half
mile of all of the residential lots within the project. The park will be located adjacent to
the wetlands, giving it a more expansive feel, and will have ready access via trails and the
street/sidewalk network.
A neighborhood center is proposed in the South Hill Master Plan near the center of the
development, and would create a sense of community and place for the neighborhood, as
well as providing amenities for resident enjoyment and convenience. It would create a
central gathering place that could be easily reached by foot. The neighborhood center
would be limited to the following uses: church, daycare, restaurant, small eating
establishment (coffee shop, pizza shop, delicatessen,pub), small professional office,
small specialty grocery, neighborhood recreation center, or residence (no more than 2)
attached to another use. Such uses would be limited to six lots.
Relocation of the intersection of County Roads 62 and 17 to the north has been conducted
by Weld County in order that the offset intersection that had existed could be eliminated
with existing wetlands protected. The northward shift of County Road 62 west of County
Road 17 to align with the that portion of County Road 62 east of the intersection resulted
in an isolated 3.0 acres of land within the property on the southwest corner of the
intersection. This small, isolated parcel at a relatively major intersection is not readily
developed as estate housing. With this annexation, the applicants propose to locate a

convenience store use on this parcel, which will be available for use by the residents of
the community. Screening landscaping would be provided along the south property line
of this parcel and architectural and site design would be prepared to limit impacts to
residents to the south.
Town of Windsor water is located along the northern boundary of the property. Future
sanitary sewer service will be provided via a regional lift station to be constructed south
of the Poudre River and just east of Highway 257, approximately one mile east of the
property's southeast corner.
Sufficient water for potable and non-potable (irrigation) development uses exists with the
property.
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan
Housing Goals. The proposed Master Plan promotes housing consistent with that
envisioned in E-2 zoning district uses, with a variety of lot sizes that will correspond to a
diversity of housing styles and prices. About 115 lots will be in the 7,500 to 8,999 square
foot (sf) range, about 170 lots will be in the 9,000 to 11,999 sf range, and about 55 lots
will be in the 12,000 to 20,000 sf range. The average lot size will be about 10,400 sf.
Annexation Goals. The proposed annexation will provide a logical extension of the
Town boundaries due to its contiguity along its entire north property line with the Town
of Windsor.
Overall Land Use Goals. The proposed annexation will continue a well-balanced land
use pattern begun by Water Valley and Pelican Hills immediately to the north such that
the extension of public services and facilities can be provided efficiently. Housing is
proposed on the Master Plan in three clusters that will maintain open space. Nearly 50
percent of the property will be set aside as open space, park, buffers, and drainageways.
Residential Land Use Goals. The Master Plan proposes a neighborhood and community
plan that will protect the character and quality of the Windsor residential areas.
Environmental Resources Goals. The two primary, existing ecosystems that exist on the
site, the bluff land along its northeast boundary, and the drainageway and wetland
complex that crosses it from the northwest to the southeast will be preserved. No
development is proposed for these areas, and 100-foot buffer distances are proposed from
these areas. The existing ephemeral drainageway will be maintained so that off-site flood
flows will be conveyed.
Public Utilities and Drainage Goals. The proposed master plan includes plans for
potable water, non-potable water, and sanitary sewer. An existing potable water main is
Slnle,fenf of Need
vemerrm�es�wnruiz,noeeUevmenromsva��in rnrrenr„��oe June 25.2003
Page 3
located approximately 2400 feet north and 1200 feet east of project boundaries, allowing
the site's water utility to be looped to two existing tie-in points. The owners of the
property own adequate Colorado-Big Thompson shares for supplying potable water for
the proposed development. Additionally, the owners of the property own Lake Loveland
and Greeley-Loveland water shares that can be used for non-potable water supply. The
site plan proposes a storage reservoir for non-potable water in the site's southwest corner.
Sanitary sewer will be extended eastward to the site of the proposed lift station. The
project will pay a proportionate share of the cost of the lift station.
Transportation Goals. Right-of-way will be dedicated for the fully anticipated build-out
of County Roads 62 and 17. County Road 17 provides ready access to the center of the
Town and south to Highway 34, and County Road 62 provides a safe and efficient
connection to I-25. The on-site traffic circulation will accommodate vehicular,
pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The proposed neighborhood center will provide amenities
for neighborhood residents, helping to make the project a walkable community, and thus
decreasing vehicle trips to the center of Town.
Parks, Trails and Open Space Goals. Wetland and bluff open space on the property will
be maintained and corridors to these open spaces will be provided to encourage
pedestrian connection and to maintain views of or over these resources. A 5.0-acre
dedicated, public neighborhood park will be provided and a system of sidewalks and
trails will promote foot traffic throughout the community and connect the various park
and open space lands.

Re: Frye Faun Annexation Impact Statement
The annexation of approximately 284 acres of the Frye Farm by developer estimates will yield 340
single-family units. By current district standards this will yield approximately 272 new students to the
Windsor School District. Using a class estimate of 22 students per class this would generate 12
classrooms to the school district This has an impact of about$2.4 million dollars in capital impact to
the district for classroom space at current standards.
As this may also cause additional buildings to be built at some point which would require support
classrooms,cafeterias,gymnasiums,counseling offices, playgrounds, administrative space,etc.,there
would be additional capital expense at that time in addition to the direct classroom spaces. The ability
to predict this number is less certain but could certainly approximate $1.5 million, as the need for the
support spaces and additional buildings is required for this number of students.
The District would anticipate some relief in the form of land dedication or cash-in-lieu of land dedication
fees consistent with its agreement with the Town of Windsor In this regard.
