COLORADO SUBJECT: PZ-1011 Pelican Sh res PUD 2 (Zone Change).doc
Weld County Public Works Department has received additional change of zone materials. Comments made
during this phase of the subdivision process may not be all-inclusive, as other concerns or issues may arise
during the remaining application process.
Comments
❑ This site lies within the I-25 Mixed Use Development (MUD) Area Structural Plan and the applicant shall be
bound by these standards(CODE Sec.27-2-120).
Internal Roadways:
❑ This development is within the MUD Area Structural Plan; therefore the applicant will be required to build the
full urban residential roadway section specified(CODE Sec.26-2-80).
❑ The change of zone plat submitted by the applicant shows roadways with 50-foot right-of-way radii cul-de-sacs,
which is not an accepted standard. Public Work's previously stated, "The MUD local residential road rht-of-
was)shall be 60 feet in width, including cul-de-sacs with a 65 foot radius, and dedicated to the public." The
applicant shall submit a revised change of zone plat showing roadway cul-de-sacs with right-of-way of 65-foot
radii. The 60-foot roadway rights-of-way shall be dimensioned on the change of zone plat (CODE Sec.24-7-
20).
❑ A typical section shall be shown on the change of zone plat. The typical local roadway section shall be shown
as two 12-foot paved lanes with 8-foot paved parking lanes. The cul-de-sac edge of pavement radius shall be
50-feet. Stop signs and street name signs will be required at all intersections. Public Works will not require
sidewalk, curb and gutter for this development, since the developer has requested a gated community.
❑ The internal roadways are longer than 1,500 feet, which is the maximum block length permitted by the County
(CODE Sec. 24-7-40-E). It appears this parcel cannot be developed to reasonably meet this requirement.
Public Works has reviewed this roadway layout and finds it conditionally acceptable. The applicant shall
provide written documentation verifying specifically that the roadway layout is acceptable to other appropriate
referral agencies, especially the fire department of jurisdiction.
❑ The applicant has provided an emergency access easement at the end of Douglas Drive, especially for the fire
department. The applicant shall provide written documentation verifying specifically that the roadway layout is
acceptable to other appropriate referral agencies,especially the fire department of jurisdiction.
O The applicant shall add an "eye brow" at the mid-length of the Douglas Drive to accommodate fire vehicle
requirements. The applicant shall provide written documentation verifying specifically that the roadway layout
is acceptable to other appropriate referral agencies,especially the fire department of jurisdiction.
O Easements shall be shown in accordance with County standards and / or Utility Board recommendations and
also, dimensioned on the change of zone plat(CODE Sec.24-7-60).

U The applicant must provide separation control between Pelican Shores Drive and County Road 26. Because the
two roads are adjacent, some type of longitudinal traffic barrier (physical) must be employed for the safety of
the public, and control access to Pelican Shores Drive. An alternative may be to adjust Pelican Shores Drive to
the north,creating separation control and geometric roadway alignments.
❑ The applicant shall address the boat ramp and lake access shown on the drawing in Block 1.
Drainage:
U There is a concern of the long-term bank stability of the St. Vrain Creek, especially from erosion and
undercutting during a flood state. A note shall be placed on the change of zone plat stating that the
Homeowner's Association(HOA) of Pelican Shores PUD will be responsible for maintenance and preservation
of the St. Vram Creek bank. The County will not assume responsibility. In addition, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers—Denver Office has stated that the property owner shall be responsible for the St. Vrain Creek bank.
❑ The Preliminary Subsurface Investigation by Western Soils, Inc. (geotechnical report) dated October 18, 2002,
states, "Special considerations should be given to the depth of any basement excavations on the South Pelican
Shores site due to groundwater conditions throughout this area of development." A note to this effect shall be
placed on the change of zone plat with reference to each lot in Pelican Shores PUD. Furthernzore, the
geotechnical report shall be specifically referenced with this note.
❑ The Preliminary Subsurface Investigation by Western Soils, Inc. (geotechnical report) dated October 18, 2002,
suggests using a drilled pier foundation system on several of the Pelican Shores PUD lots. This is a result of
extensive fill, which reflect disturbed soil conditions and properties. A note to this effect shall be placed on the
change of zone plat.
❑ The applicant shall place a note on the change of zone plat stating that finished floor elevations shall be a
minimum of two-feet above the 100-year flood elevation of 4810.4-feet as stated in the LOMA, dated January
2"°, 2003,case number:03-08-0025A.
O The floodplain(outline) from the LOMA, dated January 2"a, 2003, case number:03-08-0025A, shall be shown
on the change of zone plat to show the extent of the hazard.
❑ The normal water surface elevations for both the north lake and the south lake shall be shown on the change of
zone plat.
❑ The Final Drainage Report for Pelican Shores PUD, dated March 3131, 2003,by JLB Engineering Consultants is
acceptable.
Recommendation
❑ The Public Works Department recommends approval of this change of zone.
The applicant shall address the comments listed above at the specific step of the review process stated. The
review process will continue only when all appropriate elements have been submitted. Issues of concern must
be resolved with the Publie Works Depaftnlent prior to recording the change of zone and final plats.'

MEMORANDUM
C
• TO: Sheri Lockman, Planner DATE: 04 eptember 2002
COLORADO
FROM: Peter Schei, P.E., Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: PZ-1011, Pelican Shores PUD ( o hange)
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this change of zone request.
Comments made during this phase of the subdivision process may not be all-inclusive, as other
concerns or issues may arise during the remaining application process.
COMMENTS:
o This site lies within the I-25 Mixed Use Development (MUD) Area Structural Plan and
the applicant shall be bound by these standards.
o It is the applicant's responsibility to work with Tri State Generation & Transmission to
coordinate and resolve any issues regarding rights-of-way and / or easements along the
CR 13 corridor. This may considerably affect the Pelican Shores PUD development
proposal, particularly the lots on Pelican Shores Drive adjacent to CR 13.
o Existing gas lines that parallel the development site along CR 13 may be in conflict with
the proposed transmission line. It will be the applicant's responsibility to work with the
gas company(s) and Tri State Generation & Transmission to address locations and / or
easements along the CR 13 corridor.
o The submitted Drawing No. SP1, titled Site Plan Pelican Shores does not appear to be
prepared as a change of zone plat. The plat must be corrected.
o The Landscape Plan should be renumbered.
o The submitted Drawing No. SP1, titled Site Plan Pelican Shores, has a Note #3, which
refers to "Area 5B". There is no "Area 5B" labeled on the plat. The applicant shall
clarify this oversight. The tract area labeling is complicated, especially with two land use
summary tables in the plan set. The applicant should modify this.
External Roadways:
o CR 26 is classified by the County as a MUD collector roadway and requires an 80-foot
right-of-way. The right-of-way shall be shown and dimensioned on the change of zone
plat.
o The applicant shall verify the existing 30-foot roadway right-of-way, and the
Me-Peter\Plennulg Re+leW-Chege ofzone@2-101 I Pc1rm Shores PUD(Zone @urgel Oro Page 1 of 4 OISeptembaOE
documents creating the right-of-way noted on the final plat. If the right-of-way
cannot be verified, it will be dedicated on the final plat.
o The additional 10-foot of right-of-way shall be dedicated. If the right-of-way
cannot be verified, it will be dedicated on the final plat.
❑ CR 26 serving this development is gravel. The Traffic Impact Analysis report dated
October 31, 2001, by Alex Ariniello, P.E. of LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. states
that CR 26 (adjacent to the development) should be paved. Weld County Public Works
agrees with this requirement. The MUD collector 2-lane roadway section shall be
constructed. The applicant will be required to build %2 of the MUD collector section for
the length of the property frontage, as well as pave the full width of the remaining
existing roadway. The MUD collector cross-section along with details of construction
will be determined with the final roadway plans.
o CR 13 is classified by the County as a MUD arterial roadway and requires a 130-foot
right-of-way. The right-of-way shall be shown and dimensioned on the change of zone
plat. Weld County Department of Public Works finds this consistent with right-of-way
acquisition for a new bridge adjacent to the development.
o The applicant shall dedicate the 65-foot right-of-way, and the documents creating
the right-of-way noted on the final plat.
o The right-of-way acquisition for the new bridge shall be shown on the change of
zone and final plats.
❑ CR 13 serving this development is paved. The MUD arterial 4-lane roadway section
shall be constructed. The applicant will be required to build %2 of the MUD arterial
section for the length of the property frontage. The MUD arterial cross-section along
with details of construction will be determined with the final roadway plans.
❑ The applicant shall submit off-site roadway improvements agreements along with the
final plat application.
Internal Roadways:
o This development is within the MUD Area Structural Plan; therefore the applicant will be
required to build the full urban residential roadway section specified.
o The MUD local residential road right-of-way shall be 60-feet in width, including cul-de-
sacs with a 65-foot radius, and dedicated to the public. The typical local roadway section
shall be shown as two 12-foot paved lanes with 8-foot paved parking lanes. Also, a 5-
foot sidewalk and curb & gutter will be required. The cul-de-sac edge of pavement
radius shall be 50-feet. Typical sections shall be shown on the change of zone plat. Stop
signs and street name signs will be required at all intersections.
❑ The internal roadways are longer than 1,500 feet, which is the maximum block length
permitted by County Code Sec. 24-7-40-E. It appears this parcel cannot be developed to
reasonably meet this requirement. The Department of Public Works has reviewed this
roadway layout and finds it generally acceptable. The applicant shall provide written
documentation verifying that the roadway layout is acceptable to all other referral
agencies, especially the fire department of jurisdiction.
' M\-PaaNlamm4 Reuicw'S-Change oizono\P2-I0I I Pelican Shores PUD(Zone Qage)doc Page 2 of 4 04sryionber0]
o The applicant shall provide future access to CR 28 along Douglas Drive, and also add a
bubble at the mid-length of the drive for fire vehicle requirements.
o The engineer shall change the internal roadway centerline geometry on the change of
zone plat for the curves as required for 30 mph design speed.
o The applicant shall provide a pavement design prepared by a professional engineer
together with the final plat application.
o Sight distance triangles at all entrances and intersections will be required. All
landscaping within the triangles must be less than 3% feet in height at maturity, and noted
on the Landscape Plan.
o Roadway and grading plans, along with construction details, will be required together
with the final plat application.
❑ Easements shall be shown in accordance with County standards and / or Utility Board
recommendations and also, dimensioned on the final plat.
Drainage:
❑ The May 02, 2002, Preliminary Drainage Report in its initial form is acceptable. Due to
the influence of drainage with this site location, a final drainage report shall be submitted
for this review.
❑ The Department of Public Works suggests a meeting with the engineer of record to
discuss drainage and flood zone issues before continuing with the final drainage report.
❑ The Preliminary Drainage Report states that flood zone maps are concurrently being
reviewed and detailed for this site or the area. It also states that the St. Vrain flood zone
does limit the location of the developable portion of the site, and that this issue has been
dealt with separately and has been reflected in the layout of the site. The Department of
Public Works will verify that all proposed lots are located outside the flood zone limits.
The applicant shall submit a 100-year flood zone map with the final drainage report for
this review.
❑ A final drainage report stamped, signed and dated by a professional engineer licensed in
the State of Colorado shall be submitted with the change of zone plat application. The 5-
year storm and 100-year storm drainage studies shall take into consideration off-site
flows both entering and leaving the development.
❑ The final drainage report shall address bank stability of the St. Vrain Creek. Creek bank
protection from erosion and undercutting may be necessary in the drainage plans.
❑ The applicant shall show and identify all existing irrigation systems for this development
on the change of zone plat. Ditch easements should be noted.
o Final drainage construction plans, conforming to the drainage report, shall be submitted
with the final plat application.
❑ The applicant shall submit a final geotechnical report for this development site that
includes groundwater levels and disturbed soil conditions and properties. The
Department of Public Works recognizes the significance of these criterions to the
feasibility of the development site. Submit this report at change of zone application.

RECOMMENDATION:
➢ The Department of Public Works recommends a continuance of this application for
change of zone. The important issues of the flood zone, final drainage report, final
geotechnical report, rights-of-way, and easements all need to be resolved to consider this
application for a change of zone. The additional material needed will facilitate an
accurate and complete review.
➢ The Public Works suggests that the applicant's engineer meet with depaitment staff to _
discuss drainage and flood zone issues before proceeding with the final drainage report.
The flood zone shall be documented and submitted to Public Works for review.
➢ The rights-of-way along the CR 13 corridor shall be coordinated and agreed upon
between the applicant, Tri States Generation & Transmission, the gas company(s), and
Weld County for review.
➢ The applicant shall address the comments listed above at the specific step of the
review process stated. The review process will continue only when all appropriate
elements have been submitted. The application will not proceed until all issues of
concern have been resolved with the Public Works Department, including
scheduling any public hearings and recording any plats.

RE: Recommendation to oppose the Pelican Shores Change of Zone{Situate in the E'A of Section 36, T3N, R68Wj
Dear Sheri:
Thank you for referring the Pelican Shores Change of Zone 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. From the information in the application, it appears
that the Pelican Shores will contain 40 Single Family Dwellings with a potential impact of 27 new students. This application is
currently located in the Mead Elementary, Mead Middle and Skyline High School 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. If interested, the applicant may contact this
office for more details.

The recommendation of the District noted above applies to the attendance boundaries current as of the date of this letter.
Residential growth, approval of the upcoming November school bond, and new school facilities could affect the project's
attendance area in the future. Under current boundaries, bus transportation would most likely be provided for the site. Bus
stops will be identified after construction commences.
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.

in the Mead Elementary, Mead Middle and Skyline High School Feeder, will add 40 new single-family dwelling units with a
potential impact of 27 additional students in this feeder. The District opposes this development because, as indicated in the
chart below, Mead Middle School will exceed 125% of its capacity with the addition of students from this development. Please
note, however, that the District has adopted a mitigation policy that may allow for the 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. Another option would be for the developer and the District to agree over the phasing of the development, so that
housing is not completed until capacity becomes available. To further discuss either of these options, the developer should
contact this office.

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.
Middle School relief is expected for the Fall of 20O5, as shown above, however attendance areas for this school will not be
finalized until Spring of that year. High school relief is also approved under the bond, however this new school is not yet
scheduled for construction. Any resolution to capacity shortfall at the high school level will remain undetermined until that
facility's construction schedule is finalized. Under current boundaries,transportation would most likely be provided for the site.
Should the County decide to recommend approval of this development proposal, the cash-in-lieu and/or land dedication
requirements set up by the intergovernmental agreement would still need to be satisfied. The cash-in-lieu fees established by
the school district require 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 the School District does not anticipate the need for a school site in this
area, cash in-lieu fees would be required per the attached chart. Please feel free to call me if you require any further questions
or clarifications.

Dear Ms. Lockman:
Colorado Geological Survey reviewed this site at the sketch plan level in 2000, and again at zone change in
August 2002. I have attached a copy of my August 14, 2002 review letter, and the applicant's October 24, 2002
response letter. The applicant has satisfactorily responded to our comments as follows:
1. Floodplain. Weld County will need to verify the FEMA floodplain amendment prior to final plat approval.
2. St. Vrain Creek channel stabilization. The developer states that they have the Corps of Engineers'
concurrence on stabilization measures, and that all "proposed lots are out of the floodplain."
3. Soil and groundwater conditions. The applicant has obtained a Preliminary Subsurface Investigation
report by Western Soils, Inc., dated October 18, 2002. Western Soils'report adequately characterizes the
site's geology, and contains appropriate preliminary recommendations regarding subsurface drainage and
feasibility of basements, grading and surface drainage, foundation and floor system design, and additional,
site specific investigations to provide design parameters for final design purposes. These recommendations
should be adhered to during all phases of development.
4. Gas field facilities. The applicant states that gas line locations will be identified prior to final plat approval
and shown as easements on the plat.
5. State releases. The applicant states that they will obtain the required DMG release from reclamation
requirements

Dear Ms. Lockman:
Colorado Geological Survey has completed its review of the above-referenced project. I understand the
applicant proposes to subdivide this 240-acre parcel into 40 residential lots, with 193 acres of lakes and
open space. The applicant states that domestic water and sanitary sewer services will be provided by
local districts.
Colorado Geological Survey reviewed this site at the sketch plan level for Weld County in 2000. Dr. Pat
Rogers' November 14, 2000, letter is attached. The applicant has replied to our concerns as follows:
1. Floodplain. The applicant states that the currently mapped 100-year floodplain is incorrect, and has
requested a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from FEMA and Weld County. Ayres Associates'
floodplain report, alluded to in Appendix 23 of the Subdivision/PUD Change of Zone Request
(Columbine Land Resources,May 2002)was not included with our referral documents. Although
identification of surface flooding hazards is not within our jurisdiction,prior to plat approval the
county engineer or floodplain administrator should verify that all proposed lots are located outside
of the corrected floodplain limits as determined based on final planned topography and development
conditions.
2. St.Vrain Creek channel stabilization. The Preliminary Drainage Report (JLB Engineering, May 2,
2002)addresses permanent stabilization in only a general sense:
"Permanent stabilization includes the establishment of ground cover and erosion control devices. The landscape
areas should be established as soon as possible after acceptance of the site grading and detention pond
certification. All slopes shall be no steeper than 4:1 and be maintained regularly,"(page 5).
In our 2000 letter, CGS recommended engineered design and construction of the levees, in addition
to bank protection measures (such as placement of riprap),to help minimize the risk of erosion and
undercutting. Creek bank protection does not appear to have been incorporated into the site plan or
drainage drawings. This issue should be addressed by personnel experienced in channel and bank
stabilization (not just landscape architects).
3. Soil and groundwater conditions. The applicant states in Appendix 22: "Prior to the issuance of
any building permit on the individual lot areas, a soils and foundation design prepared by a licensed
engineer will be required." The draft"Restrictive Land Use Covenants," included as Appendix 11,
state in Section 18 (page 8),

Soil and groundwater conditions,continued.
"Notice of Soil Conditions and Groundwater. All lot owners are hereby placed on notice that prior
to any building or structure construction,a groundwater investigation and report shall first be
conducted,by a registered professional engineer, in order to determine the existing conditions,the
suitability and appropriateness,together with recommendations for construction. There exists a high
water level,which allows the waterfront uses..."
While this is a sound requirement that should be included in the final restrictive covenants,
preliminary geoteclmical investigations are needed to verify the site's suitability for the proposed
development, and to characterize subsurface engineering properties such as soil strength,bearing
capacity, expansive/compressive potential, and depth to groundwater. This information is used
to determine preliminary design parameters for foundations, individual foundation perimeter
drains, floor systems and pavements, and to evaluate the need for a subsurface groundwater
collection system. Final, lot-specific investigations are used to confirm foundation and footing
design parameters such as maximum bearing and minimum dead-load pressures. By identifying
possible soil and groundwater problems early in the design process, and informing potential
buyers of existing conditions, a phased investigation program will help minimize the risk of
foundation damage due to differential settlement, compaction, heave and groundwater
infiltration. Basements will very likely not be feasible on this property.
4. Gas field facilities. The Site Plan and Overall Utility Plans show gas lines crossing numerous
proposed individual lots, and even underlying proposed building envelopes. The reported
pressure for this system is identified in Utility Plan Note 7 as 60 psi. These pipelines should be
relocated to within public rights-of-way wherever possible, or to within easements along lot
boundaries where public rights-of-way are not available. Gas line relocations should be
identified prior to plat approval.
5. State releases. The following state-required documents are discussed in our November 14, 2000
letter,but are not addressed in the current referral documents:
a. A final release from reclamation will be needed from the Division of Minerals and Geology
upon completion.
b. An Augmentation Plan for consumptive use of water by the proposed recreational lakes is
required and will need to be approved by the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
To summarize,the floodplain, channel stabilization and gas pipeline relocations discussed above
should be addressed prior to approval of this Zone Change request.

PUD Application, Case No. S-561,
CGS Review No. We-01-0049
Dear Ms. Best-Johnson:
At your request and in accordance with Senate Bill 35 (1972) I have reviewed the Sketch
Plan application. Our review included study of the Information Sheet and attachments
including two map sheets of the site. We also consulted available topographic and
regional geologic maps and made a field inspection.
The site reclamation is progressing well and the Sketch Plan appears generally feasible.
However, there remain several issues that need to be addressed and solved before a final
plat should be considered.
1) The 100-year Flood Plain and its relation to the final surface configuration of areas to
be subdivided must be determined and clearly delineated on a detailed and accurate
topographic map so that residential lots can be safely characterized for
developedment.
2) Another issue which affects the entire project area is the need for engineering design
of the levees, including bank protection (rip-rapping) of erosion-prone areas,
especially on the outside of meander bends of the St. Vrain Creek channel. The area
where the channel is constrained between levees on both sides will be subjected to
more erosion than pre-development when there was an overbank floodplain to
accommodate flood flows. Some erosive areas have been "Yip-rapped" with
demolition waste concrete but a fully engineered approach is recommended both in -
design and construction of the levees.
3) Geotechnical input and assistance in technical planning will be needed to evaluate
foundation conditions in backfilled areas and in regraded areas of natural materials.
The natural soils in parts of Area I can include both hydrocompactive and expansive
materials.
Aug- 14-02 07 : 22A Colorado Geo . Survey 303,,,94 2174 P . 05
'^'^ 4) Gas field facilities are described in the submittal but any potential problems or
conflicts including relocation of the pipelines must be solved in advance of plat
approvals.
5) A final release from reclamation will be needed upon completion from the Division
of Minerals and Geology. No mention was made of an Augmentation Plan for
consumptive use of water by the proposed recreational lakes. This will need to be
done and approved by the Colorado Division of Water Resources.

Dear Mrs. Lockman:
I have reviewed the submitted site plan pertaining to the River Runs Through It, LLC- Pelican
Shores subdivision located north of and adjacent to Weld County Road 26 and west of and
adjacent to Weld County Road 13 (Case # PZ-101 I). The Mountain View Fire District does not
object to the proposed subdivision and subsequent development, provided the development is
able to meet the requirements of the Fire District. All applicable codes as they pertain to water
supply, fire hydrant locations, street designs, and fire department access must be met. Based on
my review, I have the following comments regarding the plans submitted:
• A minimum fire flow of 1,000 gallons per minute, measured at a residual pressure of 20
pounds per square inch, is required for one- and two-family dwellings not exceeding 3,600
gross square feet. Larger residences require a minimum fire flow of 1,750 gallons per minute
and may require more depending on the building size and type of construction as per
Appendix III-A of the Uniform Fire Code.
• According to the submitted material, hydrant locations appear to be satisfactory at this time.
• Fire apparatus access roads must be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of
fire apparatus (60,000 pounds) and must have a surface that provides all-weather driving
capabilities. The developer needs to be made aware that all access roads must be approved
and maintained when building construction begins.
• Street intersections must be marked with signs showing the street name and address range
when building construction begins. If non-standard street signs are used, the Fire District
respectfully requests to comment with regard to sign visibility.
• All single-family residences within the subdivision shall have a legible address that is clearly
visible from the street fronting the property as soon as building construction begins. The
address numbers shall contrast with their background.

RE: Case # PZ-1011
Dear Ms. Lockman:
Last week I met with owner and developer Doug Tiefel at the site for the proposed Pelican Shores
residential development located northwest of the intersection of Weld County Roads 13 and 26. I
understand that a total of 40 residential lots will be developed in a cluster arrangement around 2 lakes
which are the result of prior sand and gravel mining. Water activities including water skiing, sailing, and
fishing will be encouraged. Waterfowl hunting will be allowed on the north lake, according to Mr. Tiefel.
Mr. Tiefel took me on a tour of the property describing the habitat improvements that have already been
done and what the project will look like upon completion. He purchased the property from Tectonics,
Inc. At that time, the banks of the St. Vrain River were seriously eroded. Large chunks of concrete were
placed on the banks in an attempt to reduce erosion. Since then, most of the concrete has been covered
with topsoil and planted with willows and cottonwoods that are growing very successfully. This effort
has gone a long way to stabilize the river banks and will provide a visual and audio buffer from the
activities that will take place on the lakes as well as providing a travel corridor along the riparian area for
wildlife species. A 50' buffer area between the water and residential lots has been planted with a dryland
pasture mix. The buffer zone is intended to filter fertilizers from the lawns to prevent pollution of the
river and lakes. This is extremely important to protect aquatic life in the river. Silt fences will be in place
during construction to further protect the aquatic ecosystem.
I expressed a concern about the impacts of motorboats and water skiing on the waterfowl that utilize the
lakes and asked about the feasibility of making some of the coves inaccessible to boats. Mr. Tiefel
explained that some of the coves, particularly at the west end of the south lake, have submerged trees that
are known to the boaters, rendering this area inaccessible to boats and accessible to resting waterfowl.
Water skiing during the summer months will likely decrease the amount of waterfowl use, however the
existence of these coves will allow some waterfowl use during the summer. There was a ski boat on the
south lake while I was there and we observed a Great Blue Heron, Black Crowned Night Heron, and
Mallard Ducks using the area. Mr. Tiefel stated that waterfowl hunting will be allowed on the north lake.
He said that homeowners will be made aware of this, as well as the waterfowl hunting that occurs on
Varra Pits across the road.

There is a wetland/wildlife area at the west end of the north lake which, according to Mr. Tiefel, will
remain undisturbed. Currently, deer, coyotes, foxes,turkeys,pheasants, ducks, geese,herons, and
pelicans utilize the area. Mr. Tiefel stated that any future trail should avoid this area. A better placement
would be along the existing dirt road between the river and the south lake. I supported this concept since
the trail impact would be concentrated in an area where there will already be boating impacts, leaving the
wildlife area undisturbed.
Homeowners can expect to see the above-mentioned wildlife species. Geese will be attracted to lawns,
particularly with the lakes nearby. They can be expected to make a mess on lawns. Pets should be
confined to the owner's property and precautions taken to protect pets from the previously mentioned
wildlife species. I understand that the covenants will only allow two household pets and that they must be
confined to the property and leashed when walked. Enforcement of this covenant, including cats, will go
a long way to reducing nuisance interactions between people and wildlife that are likely to inhabit the
area.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.

Water Division 1,Water District 5
Dear Sheri Lockman:
We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 240-acre parcel into 40 single-
family residential lots. The proposed water sources are the Little Thompson District for the Northern area
and the Central Weld Water District for the Southern area. A letter of commitment for service was
provided for both Districts.
The Little Thompson District(District)will supply treated water to the development, charging fees
for the water supply on a per tap basis payable prior to activation of the tap. Based on current records on
file in this office. the District currently has an adequate uncommitted water supply to provide the water
associated with this project. Alternatively, the District will require the developer/lot owner to purchase and
transfer to the District a share of the Colorado Big Thompson(CBT) prior to tap activation.
A Water Supply Information Summary Form was submitd for the development, however, it did
clarify how much water will be supplied by each District. In order to determine if Central Weld Water
District has adequate water to service their portion of the subdivision, a Water Supply Information
Summary Form is required, which states the amount of water that the Central Weld Water District will
need to provide. This information is also required so that our office can track the amount of water that
Central Weld Water District has committed to providing.
Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's Office has not received
enough information to render an opinion regarding the potential for causing material injury to decreed
water rights, or the adequacy of the proposed water supply.
If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Joanna Williams of this office.

MEMORANDUM
To: Sheri Lockman
From: Ken Poncelow
Date: July 24, 2002
Subject: PZ-1011
The sheriffs office recommends the following improvements for this housing sub-division:
1. The sheriff's office requests that builders and developers designate an area by
the entrance of the sub-division in which to place a shelter for school children
awaiting the school bus. This area should also include a pull off for the school
bus which enables it to safely load and unload children out of the roadway.
Since this sub-division has two separate ingress and egress areas, both should
include meet this request.
2. Either a mail distribution within the sub-division or a central drop off location
within the sub-division should be developed so that residents do not have to
cross a county roadway to obtain their mail.
3. The names of all streets within the sub-division should be presented to the
sheriffs office for approval. This will eliminate duplication of street names
within the county. The street names listed on the submitted plans are
approved.
4. A permanent sign should be placed at the entrances to the sub-division
detailing the name of the sub-division, address, and a graphical presentation of
the roadways within the subdivision. There should be a plan developed to
maintain this sign. Since this sub-division has two separate ingress and egress
areas, both should include meet this request.
5. If the roadways within this sub-division are not maintained or adopted by the
county, individuals purchasing property in this sub-division should be notified
that the sheriffs office will have limited traffic enforcement powers.
6. A plan should be developed to maintain roadways within the sub-division
especially during inclement weather conditions for emergency vehicles.
7. The sheriff's office is very supportive of homeowner funded homeowners
associations. These associations provide a contact for the sheriff's office and
a means for maintaining common areas.
8. There is a oil or gas well within this sub-division. This needs to be fenced off
in order to mitigate the potential for tampering. These facilities are known to
create an attractive nuisance for young people. Tampering not only creates a
significant danger to safety but also of environmental damage with extensive
mitigation and clean-up costs.
The Sheriff's Office lacks the ability to absorb any additional service demand without the
resources recommended in the multi-year plan provided to the Board of County
Commissioners or as indicated by growth not considered at the time the plan was
developed. I have no other comments on this proposal.

i‘a tEr MEMORANDUM
ICTO: Sheri n, Planner II
DATE: July 24, 2002
COLORADO
FROM: Kim Ogle, Planner III +Lc
SUBJECT: Pelican Shores PUD
River Runs Through It, LLC
Doug Tiefel, applicant
The Department of Planning Services has reviewed the schematic Landscape Plan and offers
the following comments:
The proposed PUD is located in the southeast one-quarter and the south half of the northeast
one-quarter of Section 36, Township 3 North, Range 68 West of the 6th Prime Meridian, Weld
County. The total site area is approximately 240 acres, of which approximately 188 acres is in
open space. Portions of the site are within the one hundred flood plain.
The proposed PUD is situated on lands previously mined under the name of the Baily Pit,
Permit Number M-84-099 (Goose Haven Sand and Gravel, Inc.). The applicant states that the
land will be reclaimed and landscaped under the existing permit, consisting of riparian edge
planting only. The Department of Planning Services prohibits the installation of cotton bearing
cottonwoods on any lands in the County, future reclamation plans shall identify a substitute
plant material to be utilized on this project.
In the application materials, the applicant has provided a verbal description of the Landscape
proposal for the PUD. There was not a graphic Landscape Plan submitted with the referral.
The concept of the Landscape treatment is to preserve the views to the west of the Rocky
Mountain Range, the internal lakes and the Saint Vrain River corridor. Separation of the
development from surrounding County Roads is accomplished through berms, and unspecified
plant materials. Internal streets will be landscaped with either Ash (Fraxinus spp.) or Locust
(Gleditisia spp.) planted on forty foot centers. Internal fences, screen walls and other walls is
discouraged, although privacy fences adjacent to patios and decks is permitted. The existing
perimeter three-strand barbed wire will remain.
The common open space consists of the two internal lakes, the Saint Vrain Creek corridor and
adjacent lands around the lakes. The application materials state that the St. Vrain Creek
corridor is within the flood plain as identified on the FIRM Community Panel Maps, however, the
applicant is submitting documentation to FEMA for review and processing through the Letter of
Map Amendment based on Fill.
The application materials did not graphically address the location and type of sign for the
proposed development.
The plan has not identified an internal trail system for the development. Should one be
proposed, the trail and all amenities shall be described and delineated. Future correspondence
shall identify the trail location and type of material utilized in trail construction.
All turf areas, including any turf lined swales on site have not been addressed. Future
correspondence shall identify the species of grass seed mix and whether the mix is to be drilled
or broadcast for installation.
The proposed plant material list for the development is addressed, however, the plant list has
not been specified.
There has been no discussion concerning mail box locations, school bus pull outs, internal
lighting, etcetera. Future correspondence shall describe and delineate on the plans this
information. Evidence of approval from the appropriate referral agencies shall be submitted to
the Department of Planning Services.
The application materials submitted are in the format for the Specific Guide as outlined in the
PUD Procedural Guide, however, there is no information pertaining to how the landscape
treatment, including the site furniture, will be handled within the development, at the entry into
the development and around the perimeter of the development. Further, the applicant states
that the on-site reclamation of the property will be addressed through the Mined Land
Reclamation Board permit for the Baily Gravel Pit. There is no indication or reference made for
the transition between the MLRB requirements and the proposed PUD landscape requirements.
Given the vagueness of the on-site landscape treatment proposed by the applicant, the
Department of Planning Services recommends that a new "Preliminary Landscape Design Plan"
be submitted for review and approval by this department prior to recording the Change of Zone
Plat(s).

Ms. Anne Best Johnson
Weld County Planning Department
1555 N. 17th Avenue
Greeley, CO 80631
Dear Ms. Johnson:
The Town Board has reviewed the proposed Pelican Shores Subdivision that is the subject of the
attached referral letter of May 6, 2003. The Board's position is the same as it was in the Town's
reply on this project dated August 15, 2002; namely that it does not want this to be approved as
an unincorporated project. It should be referred to the Town for possible annexation.
After the submittal of the above-mentioned reply, a representative of the developer called the
Town to express unhappiness with the Town's position. I stated that the developer should
,.� address the issue of achievable statutory contiguity if that was an issue, or otherwise request an
agenda slot to appear in a meeting before the Town Board to explain the project and justify why
the firm was not pursuing municipal annexation, if they hoped to seek a different position from
the Town. However, I never heard back from the developer.
The Town's present limits are one mile east of I-25 at WCR 28, which appears to be only a half-
mile from the borders of this proposed project, and thus likely legally possible to achieve
statutory contiguity. Town staff would be happy to meet with the developer to discuss this.
Accordingly, the Town feels that with the number of homes this represents, this is a subdivision
that should be in a municipality. With it being cut off by the St. Vrain River to the south, traffic
will flow east from the 1-25 area to access the subdivision through roads that are or will become
part of Mead. Consequently, people will impact Mead without the Town having any control
over or revenue from an unincorporated subdivision. These people should also have access to
parks, services, and other amenities required by or furnished by the Town.
The County is requested to deny this application.
Sincerely,
Aiiu D. ;Fa

COLORADO Health and Environment
CASE NO.: PZ-1011 NAME: Doug Tiefel/ River Runs Through It
The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. The Department needs additional
information on the following open space uses to complete the referral recommendations:
1. The application states that the open space will have varied opportunities for recreational
activities such as water skiing, sailing and fishing. The Department requests that those uses
be specifically defined.
2. The Department is asking that the location of any common-use boat ramp(s), swim beaches,
picnic areas, etc. be depicted on the change of zone site plan. The Department is
recommending that permanent restroom and handwashing facilities be provided within easy
access to the public gathering areas. These should also be delineated on the change of zone
site plan.
3. There is nothing in the application stating whether the lakes will be strictly for the use of the
residents and guests of the development, or if memberships will be sold to non-residents at
some future time. The Department requests specific information regarding who will have
access to the use of the lakes. In the event the development sells memberships to non-
residents, any recreational uses on the lakes that are governed by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment Swimming Pool and Mineral Bath Regulations will require
compliance with those regulations.

residential and large recreational lakes in both portions.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water and sewer
service. Water will be provided by Central Weld County Water District (south) and Little Thompson
Water District (north). Letters of availability from both water districts were submitted in the application
materials. Sewer service will be provided by St. Vrain Sanitation District. A service agreement from St.
, Vrain Sanitation District was submitted in the application materials.
Passive and active recreational uses will be encouraged in the open space, such as water skiing,
sailing and fishing. In a referral dated September 19, 2002 the Department asked for additional
information regarding the recreational uses of the lakes to complete the referral recommendations. No
response to that request was provided to date. Therefore, these items will be reiterated:
1. The application states that the open space will have varied opportunities for recreational
activities such as water skiing, sailing and fishing. The Department requests that those uses be
specifically defined.
2. The Department is asking that the location of any common-use boat ramp(s), swim beaches,
picnic areas, etc. be depicted on the change of zone site plan. The Department is
recommending that permanent restroom and handwashing facilities be provided within easy
access to the public gathering areas. These should also be delineated on the change of zone
site plan.
3. There is nothing in the application stating whether the lakes will be strictly for the use of the
residents and guests of the development, or if memberships will be sold to non-residents at
some future time. The Department requests specific information regarding who will have
access to the use of the lakes. In the event the development sells memberships to non-
residents, any recreational uses on the lakes that are governed by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment Swimming Pool and Mineral Bath Regulations will require
compliance with those regulations.
