Planning wine 9 DATE: November 7, 2002 FROM: Pam Smith, W.C. Department of Pu licj COLORADO Health and Environment CASE NO.: PZ-552 NAME: William Roberts/Bracewell Est. The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. The applicant proposes a 10 lot PUD. The minimum lot size (2.44 acres) does not meet the current Department policy, however, the overall density of one septic system per 7.9 acres does meet the current Department policy. The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water service. Water will be provided by North Weld County Water District and sewer will be provided by individual sewage disposal systems. A water service agreement was from North Weld County Water District was provided in the application materials. The application has not satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to sewer service. As stated above, the minimum lot size (2.44 acres) does not meet the current Department policy, however, the overall density of one septic system per 7.9 acres does meet the current Department policy. A geotechnical engineering report from Terracon, dated January 24, 2000 was reviewed at the time of sketch plan submittal. This report indicated the site had marginally acceptable percolation rates ranging from 53 to 67 minutes per inch. Shallow groundwater was also identified in the 7 to 8 foot range in the vicinity of Lots 5 through 10. These observations were made conducted in December 1999, during periods when the groundwater level is likely to be lowest. The Department requested that groundwater levels be monitored during the anticipated seasonal high groundwater (September). No additional documentation regarding the anticipated seasonal high groundwater table was submitted in the change of zone application materials. Therefore, the Department is requesting this documentation be submitted at the time of Final Plan submission. The Department recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Water service shall be obtained from the North Weld County Water District 2. A Weld County septic permit is required for each proposed septic system, which shall be installed in according to the Weld County individual sewage disposal system regulations. Each septic system shall be designed for site-specific conditions, including, but not limited to: maximum seasonal high groundwater, poor soils, and shallow bedrock. 3. Primary and secondary septic system envelopes shall bed designated on each lot Each envelope must meet minimum current setbacks as specified in Chapter 30 of the Weld County Code. 4. Language for the preservation and/or protection of the second absorption field envelope shall be placed on all recorded plats and in the development covenants. The covenants shall state that activities such as permanent landscaping, structures, dirt mounds or other items are expressly prohibited in the absorption field site. F 5. If required, the applicant shall obtain a storm water discharge permit from the Water m Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment. Silt fences shall be maintained on the down gradient portion of the site during all parts of the construction phase of the project. NAME: William Roberts/Bracewell Est. CASE NO.: PZ-552 '— Page 2 6. 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. 7. 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 emissions. 8. 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. 9. "Weld County's Right to Farm" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County Code shall be placed on any recorded plat. At the time of final plan submission: 1. Submit documentation demonstrating the maximum seasonal high groundwater table (monitored during the summer irrigation months).

Sincerely, Jeff Reif Building Official r Service,Teamwork, Integrity,Quality 6Nekr, hent MEMORANDUM To: Robert Anderson From: Ken Poncelow Date: September 25, 2002 Subject: PZ-552 The sheriff's office recommends the following improvements for this housing sub-division: 1. The sheriffs 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. 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. 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. 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. r. 8. If 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. r Weld County Referral September 16, 2002 Ci COLORADO The Weld County Department of Planning Services has received the for . :rig item for review: Applicant William & Dolores Roberts Case Number -552 Please Reply By October 7, 2002 Planner Robert Anderson Project Change of Zone from the A(Agricultural)to Planned Unit Development (PUD) with E (Estate)Zone uses for Ten (10) Residential Lots and 51+/-Acres Common Open Space on 80+/-Acres.

We visited on site earlier in the year and you explained that the plan calls fin 10 residential lots adjacent to a reclaimed gravel pit, with undeveloped open space south of the lake. You have requested a letter from the Division concerning the impact on the wildlife resource if this developlrleut is completed as proposed. In this letter I will attempt to respond to your query. r The site is an abandoned irrigated agricultural field,currently being mined for sand and graveL Because of the nature of irrigated agriculture and ongoing mining activity,the site has minimal value as wildlife habitat. However,the location of the parcel,near the Cach La Poudre River,increases its potential for habitat development upon reclamation. Historically,the primary wildlife use of this parcel included use by Canada Geese and miscellaneous ducks for winter feeding on crop residue. Because of the highly disturbed condition of the property,the site is not considered potential habitat for Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse,Zapus Hudronius, or other species on the State or Federal listing for threatened and endangered species. Black-tailed Prairie Dogs were not observed on site. On reclamation of the pond/s and development of the site,wildlife values could be greatly enhanced. The Division would recol,uz...id that the south side of the pond be reclaimed as open space using grass, shrubs and trees with high wildlife values. Rather than monoculture plantings,the Division would recommend mixed grass stands with dryland legumes supplemented,and a variety of shrubs and trees. Because of the difficulty in establishing coniferous trees in arid plains areas,careful consideration should be given to species selection. Junipers seem to have the best chance of survival. All plantings of woody vegetation should be installed using a weed barrier/mulch covering,and if at all possible,drip irrigation. The Division would not recommend the use of Russian Olive, elms,tamarisk or loosestrife at this location. We would encourage you to use plumbs and other mast producing species,planted in clumps. On request,we would be happy to supply you with a list of suitable plants with high wildlife value.

As long as the development can sustain the activity,the Division would nesting Canada continuation means of wildlife management on the property. encourage the wildlife aten of hunting the h as sa primary on the property,and should be Nuisance wildlife abatement will be responsibility of the homeowners performed using only legal and ethical methods of control. In order to create open space with high wildlife value on the south side of the parcel,human use should be restricted,especially during critical spring nesting/fawning sea9on. For this reason the Division would recommend situating trails or other amenities attracting large numbers of humans and their pets away from the open space proposed on the south side of the pond. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your proposaL Hopefully as your plans go forward,we can work together to maximize the potential of this parcel for wildlife as well as people.

A Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by Terracon (January 2000) was included in the referral. 1) Plat. The plat shows a 33-acre lake, designated as proposed reclamation plan. The development report does not discuss gravel extraction,which is a serious omission if gravel mining is to occur in the future. If the idea is to develop the lots prior to gravel mining, I strongly recommend against this. CGS has had calls in the past from unhappy homeowners who found out after the fact that adjacent farmland was about to become an extraction operation. If the idea is to develop the lots after mining has ceased, Weld County should decide whether it wants to plat lots years in advance of when they may be developed. It is possible that land use guidelines and regulations will have changed by that point,but the developer would be guaranteed the right to develop because of prior approval. 2)Drainage. Terracon found groundwater to be present at about 6.5-8 ft below ground level (bgl) during drilling operations of December 1999. Information should be provided on the seasonal high water table,which probably occurs in late spring, early summer. A groundwater level of 7 ft(bgl) or shallower(probable in summer)together with the slow percolation rates indicates that engineered septic systems, such as evaporative or mounded systems, are more appropriate for the lots than standard systems. r OCT-08-2002 07:07PM FROM-Colorado qs Joaical Survey 3038662461 -.e. T-015 P.003/003 F-180 Bracewell PUD,p.2 A water level of 8 ft bgl precludes basement construction, although crawl spaces may still be possible. A subsurface drainage plan should be included with any subgrade construction. The property is extremely flat and the regional topographic map of the area shows a closed depression in the vicinity of lots 4 and 5. Grading around the residences should be implemented to provide positive slope,to prevent ponding of water near foundations and walls. 3) Soil. Standard penetration tests performed during the boring operations indicated loose moist sands between 4 and 9 ft bgl. Earthwork and foundation design should be planned with these low-strength soils in mind. Oversized spread footings and mat foundations are appropriate for these conditions. In summary, the gravel mining issue must be resolved before plans for development continue. Residential development of the property must take into account the shallow water table, and soils that have low permeability and low strength. Special attention will be required for septic system and foundation design. Please call me if there are any questions. ours Celia G nwan Geologi STATE OF COLORADO " 'OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER oe•co o.

Water Division 1,Water District 3 Dear Mr. Anderson: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 79.61-acre parcel into 10 single-family residential lots of approximately 2.5 to 3 acres in size, together with 50.78 acres of common open space. The common open space site will contain a 33-acre reclamation lake. Mining of gravel resources is currently occurring on this property. Two structures currently exist on site. An existing home located on proposed lot 3 will be removed and an existing barn will remain on proposed lot 9. The proposed water source for the residential lots is listed as the North Weld County Water District(District). A letter of commitment form the District is indicated as included in the material, however only a copy of a form of water agreement was included in the submitted material. The agreement form indicates that, the District will provide water to the subdivision per terms and conditions of the District. The District is currently serving one tap on this property. The developer will be responsible for installing any additional water mains for the proposed development. 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. However, since the agreement form submitted was not signed by the District this office cannot determine if the District indeed is committed to supply water to this new development. The Water Supply Information Summary Sheet included in the submittal material indicates that the household use water requirement for the residential lots is 1 acre-foot per year per lot and the irrigation water requirement for 17 acres of common space and residential lots is estimated at 122.49 acre-feet. A non-potable water system is being proposed to supply the necessary irrigation water to the open space and individual lots through the existing 8 shares of the Whitney Ditch water rights owned by the applicant. A detailed plan of augmentation included in the submittal material indicates that the above shares were historically used to irrigate the property since 1900. In 2000, 53 acres of the property were leased to Hall-Irwin Corporation for mining operation. Also five of the eight shares in the Whitney Ditch were made available to Hall-Irwin Corporation to be used to replace out-of-priority depletions associated with the 33 acres of evaporation from the free water surface of the gravel pit. Weld County Planning Department Page2 Bracewell PUD Furthermore the applicant proposes to use the remaining 3 shares of the Whitney Ditch to irrigate the common open space and the residential lots again through augmentation water that will be pumped from the 33-acre lake. The 122.49 acre-feet amount indicated in the Water Supply Information Summary Sheet represents the historic consumptive use attributed to the 8 shares of Whitney Ditch that will be used to replace out-of-priority depletions for the 33-acre reclamation lake and the 15 acres of irrigated land within the subdivision. Therefore the water requirement for irrigation of common open space and the individual lots is estimated in the plan at 33 acre-feet.The proposed numbers of acres to be irrigated indicated in the plan (15 acres) is not consistent with the proposed numbers of acres to be irrigated indicated in the Summary Sheet (17 acres). Additionally there seems to be a conflict between the number of shares mentioned in the plan and the number of shares indicated in the Warranty Deed provided in the submittal material. The Warranty Deed indicates that the applicant owns 7 shares of the Whitney Irrigation Company. Since those questions exist this office cannot comment on the availability of water for the irrigation within the subdivision until all of the above inconsistencies are clarified and until the proposed plan of augmentation is approved by the Water Court or by the State Engineer in a form of a substitute supply plan. Please also note that this office will not approve a temporary supply plan for lawn irrigation unless the applicant has first filed for an augmentation plan with water court and even then any lawn irrigation approved will be of year by year temporary nature until the court approves the above mentioned Plan for Augmentation. Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the State Engineer's office offers the opinion that the proposed water supply will cause material injury to existing water rights, and the supply is inadequate. If you have any question in this matter please contact Ioana Comaniciu of this office. Sincerely, s-re" Kenneth W.

Planning commission voted 5-1 to recommend denial of the proposal to the Weld County Planning Commission because they found that the proposed Planned Unit Development does not comply with the policies and intent of the City of Greeley's Comprehensive Plan and Resolution 7, 1985. If the Weld County Planning Commission approves the proposal,the City of Greeley Planning Commission recommends that it should be on the condition that the private access road is paved with concrete or asphalt to reduce the development's impact on air quality; that such streets also include sidewalks and curbs to protect pedestrian movements; that 60 feet of right-of-way be reserved from the centerline of 83`'Avenue (WCR 27) to facilitate the development of future roadways; and that an internal stub street be platted to assure connectivity with future subdivisions in the area and minimize multiple access points on higher volume roads.

't he property is located outside the Town's Growth Management Area (GMA), but within the Town's Community Influence Area and is delineated as Community Separator on the Town's Land Use Plan map. Although the application proposes development within a depicted Community Separator, the depictions on the Land Use Plan map are general in nature and the Comprehensive Plan indicates that such areas of open space shall be "...established through due process and negotiations and discussions with the respective property owners." The application proposes to preserve 50.78 acres of open space, or 64% of the entire site. The Planning Commission considers the clustering of the ten (10)homes and the large amount of open space to be consistent with the intent of the Community Separator land use depiction. Based upon the aforementioned information, the Town of Windsor Planning Commission recommends approval of the PUD Change of Zone to the Weld County Department of Planning Services, subject to the conditions outlined below; 1. Subject to review by the Division of Wildlife, at such time in the future that trail casements conneeling to this property are obtained,the applicant shall dedicate a thirty foot(30') trail easement for future connection to the Poudre Trail and the Town of Windsor trail system. 2. The applicant shall provide evidence to the Weld County Department of Planning Services that all conditions of the Windsor-Severance Fire Protection District have been addressed to the District's satisfaction.
