SITE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND USE BY SPECIAL
REVIEW (USR) QUESTIONNAIRE
VISTA RIDGE RECREATIONAL FIELDS
The following questions are to be answered and submitted as part of the USR application. If a question does
not pertain to your use, please respond with"not applicable",with an explanation as to why the question is
not applicable.
1. Explain, in detail,the proposed use of the property.
The Vista Ridge Academy will use this property for recreational fields to support its athletic and
educational programs. Two soccer fields, a baseball field and a running trail are planned. Each
soccer field will be equipped with two soccer goals. The baseball field will be equipped with a
backstop. Lighting for the fields is not currently being designed into the property. If lighting is
needed in the future, a permit for lights will be secured at that time from the appropriate authority.
Restroom facilities and drinking fountains are not planned for the property.
Access to the property will be from the adjoining Vista Ridge Academy within the town limits ofErie.
Parking will be accommodated on the Vista Ridge Academy site.
The playing fields will be planted in a sod-type turf. Please refer to the attached Landscape Plan.
2. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 22
(Comprehensive Plan).
This area of southwestern Weld County is experiencing a rapid growth rate. To accommodate the
increasing population base in the area,the Vista Ridge Academy will eventually provide education to
grades K-10 . Section 22-2-20 of the Weld County Code provides foundations of future land use.
Item D states,"It is expected that the pattern of growth will continue as described in Section 22-2-10,
Foundations of existing land uses. Since growth is directly related to the economic conditions of the
State,the rate of growth is somewhat variable:but it is acknowledged that managing the quality and
pattern of growth is important to the sustainability of the economy, as well as the quality of life for
the County citizens." The development of the recreational fields is a direct descendent of the
development of Vista Ridge Academy. This school first set its sights on the construction of the
school building which is now in the site plan review process with the Town of Erie. The school needs
to provide recreational opportunities for the students. By allowing this recreational field to be
developed, the needs of the growing population base in the Town of Erie may be realized.
Section 22-2-20.F.4 indicates, "By following the guiding principles of the Comprehensive Plan and
applying growth tools, such as those referred to above,future land uses in the County will result in...
All future land uses will be considered with an eye on quality." This application is providing for a
necessary component to education. The recreation fields will be well-maintained and a source of
pride for the Vista Ridge Academy, the Town of Erie, surrounding properties and Weld County.
A.Goal 6 of Chapter 22 indicates,"Public facilities and services such as sewer,water,roads, schools,
and fire and police protection, must be provided and developed in a timely, orderly and efficient
-1-
manner to support the transition of agricultural land to other development uses. In evaluating a land
use application, County representatives and the applicant will consider the public facilities and
services goals and policies." This application supports A. Goal 6 as it is a school facility necessitating
the application.
Further supporting Chapter 22 is the fact that the City of Broomfield and the Town of Erie are
cooperatively planning this region. This parcel will be developed as a recreational field, fulfilling
goals outlined in the Town of Erie's Comprehensive Plan and the Broomfield-Erie Sub Area Master
Plan.
This proposal is consistent with Section 22-3-50.E, "In order to have an efficient transportation
system, all jurisdictions should cooperate respective transportation goals and policies." This
application does propose cooperation in the Town of Erie's transportation goals.
Section 22-5-50.H, O.Goal 8, "Adequate parks and recreation facilities should be encouraged
throughout the County and should be interconnected whenever suitable." This application proposes
to develop athletic/recreational fields to benefit the students at the proposed adjacent Vista Ridge
Academy.
3. Explain how this proposal is consistent with the intent of the Weld County Code,Chapter 23
(Zoning) and the zone district in which it is located.
The recreational fields will occur on Agricultural-zoned property in unincorporated Weld County.
Section 23-3-40 of the Weld County Code lists land use appropriate for agriculturally-zoned
property. Item C lists,"Recreational facilities" as an appropriate Use by Special Review in this zone
district. The proposed Vista Ridge Academy is located adjacent to this property. The selection of
this property for such use was made due to the safe movement of children to and from the site.
The bulk requirements, as listed in Section 23-3-50, will be adhered to with the exception of the
4. What type of uses surround the site? Explain how the proposed use is consistent and compatible
with surrounding land uses.
The proposal is consistent with the surrounding uses,which include a school,residential/agricultural
lots,the County of Broomfield and the Town of Erie. The Vista Ridge Development Corporation lot
will be used for a recreational field for the proposed neighboring Vista Ridge Academy.
5. Describe, in detail,the following:
a. How many people will use this site?

RE:Vista Ridge SE and tJSR applications for recreational fields.
Dear Weld County Department of Planning Services:
Boulder Junior Academy is writing this letter of support in behalf of Vista Ridge Development
Corporation's application for our school's recreational fields. Boulder Junior Academy is in the
process of constructing a new school in Erie adjacent to the property under development
consideration. Our plans are to provide educational opportunities to children in grades K-12 in
our facilities within the Town of Erie and at the land under consideration. The property under
development consideration to Weld County was not annexed to the Town of Erie. Future
annexations to the Town of Erie require a vote by the community during certain times of the
,.-. year. This is an arduous process requiring more time than we have prior to our April
construction start date.This construction start date will allow us to start school
at the Erie site after this year's Christmas break. We have been coordinating with Erie to meet
this start date and look forward to working with you to resolve the exemption and zoning
issues associated with the parcel we will need for our athletic fields.
The athletic fields will include a running trail,two soccer fields and one baseball field. Extra
space will be provided at the school for additional physical education needs.
Mental fitness and physical fitness are intertwined.We want to provide our students with the
best opportunities to excel academically, experience physical fitness, and learn the value of
team work.The athletic/recreational field is a necessary amenity to accomplish our goal of
providing the opportunity for mental, social and physical health of our students.
We have agreed that at the appropriate time we would consider negotiation of terms with the
Town of Erie to allow town use of the fields for practices and games. This is also described in
the application submitted on our behalf by Vista Ridge Development Corporation.
Your thoughtful consideration of this request is greatly appreciated.

Re:Special Review Permit Plan - Vista Ridge Academy
Vista Ridge Academy is a proposed private school campus located in Section 33,Township
I South, Range 68 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian. Portions of the campus are located within
the Town of Erie and portions are located in unincorporated Weld County. (See attached map.)The
portion located in Weld County consists of play fields with no hard surface improvements. The
proposed drainage patterns are consistent with historical patterns and storm runoff from the hard
surface areas will be detained and released at historical rates. The proposed drainage facilities will
either be privately maintained or maintained by the Town of Erie. Drainage reports for the proposed
drainage facilities have been submitted to the Town of Erie for review and approval.
We hope this brief summary and map clarifies any questions or concerns regarding the
proposed drainage facilities and the impact to property within Weld County. If you require further
information, please do not hesitate to call our office.

RE:Vista Ridge SE and USR applications for recreational fields.
Dear Mr.Poncelow:
Vista Ridge Development Corporation will be submitting two land use applications to the Weld County Department
of Planning Services on behalf of Vista Ridge Academy.The end result of both the Subdivision Exemption and the
Use by Special Review applications will be recreational fields for the Boulder Junior Academy.We are writing this
letter to you as a courtesy prior to submitting the application to Weld County.
The property under development consideration is located in part of the South half of Section 33,Township 1 North,
Range 68 West of the 6th P.M.,Weld County,Colorado.The legal parcel numbers are 1467 33 000023 and 1467 33
000009.The final configuration of the properties is not as the Weld County Web Site currently pictures.The lot re-
configuration will be accomplished through the Subdivision Exemption to adjust the lot lines between the two
parcels.This property was not annexed to the Town of Erie.Future annexations to the Town of Erie require a vote
by the community during certain times of the year.This is an arduous process requiring more time than we have prior
to the start of the school year.
The recreational fields will include two soccer fields one baseball field.Extra space will be provided for additional
recreational needs.Bathroom facilities and on-site-parking are not a component of this application.Bathroom
facilities and parking will be available on the school site within the Town of Erie.The site will not be lighted at this
time. Lights may be added in the future once receiving approval from Weld County and or Town of Erie.
Landscaping shall include turf-type grass for the playing fields,and a few clusters of trees,ornamental/native grasses
and shrubs. The landscaping shall be limited to distract potential security issues.
The school is in current negotiations with the Town of Erie to allow town sports to use the fields for practices and
games.This is also described in the Use by Special Review application to be submitted to Weld County.
The intent of this letter is to share the future use of this property with you prior any application with Weld County.
Please contact our representatives,Todd Hodges Design,LLC at(970)613-8556 with further questions.You will be
a referral entity for Weld County with our Use by Special Review application.
Your time is greatly appreciated.

Ms. Jackie Thompson

Erie, CO 80516
Dear Ms.Thompson:
I have reviewed the submitted material pertaining to the request for the construction of a 33,000
square foot private school (Phase I), Case Name: Vista Ridge Academy in Erie. The Fire District
does not object to the request to build the school provided the requirements of the Fire District
can be met. Based on my review, I have the following comments regarding the project:
• Buildings shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the provisions of the 1997
Edition of the Uniform Fire Code, as adopted by the Town of Erie, and all other applicable
codes and ordinances, as enforced by the Town of Erie.
• The total Phase I building appears to be about 33,000 square feet. If the building is constructed
of type II-N or 131-N construction and protected throughout with an automatic fire sprinkler
system, a minimum of 1,875 gallons per minute, measured at a residual pressure of 20 pounds
per square inch will be required. This water supply must be provided by at least two fire
hydrants. If the water supply is available, existing fire hydrants as shown on the plans
submitted are satisfactory.
• Information regarding the square footage or whether or not the Phase II building was going to
be protected with a fire sprinkler system was not included. Additional file hydrants may be
necessary for this building.
• Fire apparatus access to the Phase I building appears to be adequate as indicated on the plans,
provided the building is protected throughout by an automatic fire sprinkler system.
• The fire apparatus access mad must be designated as a fire lane and may be required to be
marked with permanent NO-PARK1NG— FIRE LANE signs.
• All plans for fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems and other fire suppression systems
must be approved by the Fire District for prior to installation.
• Dumpsters shall not be located within 5 feet of a building opening or within 5 feet of
combustible walls or combustible roof eaves.

Re: Boulder Junior Academy at Vista Ridge — Use of Erie/Broomfield Buffer
Dear Steve:
Thank you for your referral regarding the proposed use of the Erie/Broomfield
buffer by the Boulder Junior Academy. The referral, dated September 16, 2002,
and attached to this letter, included a conceptual site map and eight conditions
from the Erie Town Board of Trustees.
The proposed use and conditions are consistent with the 1-25 Sub-Area Plan
-- which was completed as a collaborative effort by Broomfield and Erie as called for
in our July 1998 Intergovernmental Agreement. The sub-area plan, adopted by
Broomfield on December 7, 1999, as an amendment to our Master Plan, locates
the buffer along a realigned Sheridan Boulevard equidistant from the Weld County
Road 5 and Weld County Road 7 alignments. The buffer is designated Open
Lands and is to be at least 600-feet wide from the right-of-way centerline on each
side of the extended Sheridan Boulevard.
Athletic fields are included as anticipated uses in areas designated as open lands.
With the conditions imposed by the Town of Erie on the Boulder Junior Academy
conceptual site plan, the plan is, as included in the referral, in conformity with the
adopted 1-25 Sub-Area Plan.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to review the proposal.
Sincerely,
Kevin Standbridg

RE: Boulder Junior Academy at Vista Ridge, Use of Erie/Broomfield
Buffer
Dear Kevin:
The Town of Erie has considered the proposal by the Boulder Junior Academy to use a
portion of the Erie/Broomfield buffer area, adjacent to Sheridan Boulevard, for school
purposes. Both the Town's Open Space and Trails Board and the Erie Board of Trustees
have endorsed this use, with conditions.
The Erie Board of Trustees has recommended approval of the use of the buffer area for
ball fields, as illustrated on the conceptual site map, with conditions, as follows:
1. Fencing be strategically placed so as to allow for byways of any wildlife
in the area. Fencing should be aesthetically appropriate as viewed from
Sheridan.
2. Vista Ridge development provide opportunities for school staff and
students to access the adjacent pond for opportunities for naturalist
studies.
3. Maintain the 600' wide buffer on each side of Sheridan (from the ROW
centerline).
4. Restrict parking from occurring within the 600' buffer.
5. Provide public access to the ball fields. Specific terms of a facilities use
agreement to be negotiated between the Town of Erie and the Boulder
Junior Academy.
6. Restrict lighting of the fields. Any lighting that may be proposed in the
future would be subject to review and approval of both Town of Erie and
City and County of Broomfield staff.
7. The 600' buffer area be restricted as "open lands" in perpetuity.
8. No buildings of structures will be,built in the 600' buffer.

exercise that if it will add to the confidence in the Board members, should be
done. Trustee Schrichte suggested that the Board receive a monthly financial
report, which is something that in the private sector and industry was a routine
thing. As a project leader at Exon they received reports every month and were
expected to steward their project within the budget allowed. It would be helpful
to people. Trustee Pink did not want to be onerous about this or emotionally
charged over this issue. He felt that if they worked together to come up with
something that would address the needs of people.

are doing. He will bring back more information identifying economic
opportunities in Erie.

(1) Policy Regarding Landscape Material On Town Streets
Citizen felt one day allowance for landscape material on Town streets should be expanded.
Citizens do not want material delivered to their driveways because of the damage it causes—
this is the same concern that town has along with the clogging of Town drainage. Town
Ordinance mirrors state statute, which states under Title 42
I —t
42-4-114 - Removal of traffic hazards.
(1) The department of transportation and local authorities, within their respective jurisdictions,
may by written notice sent by certified mail require the owner of real property abutting on the
right-of-way of any highway, sidewalk, or other public way to trim or remove, at the expense
of said property owner, any tree limb or any shrub, vine, hedge, or other plant which projects
beyond the property line of such owner onto or over the public right-of-way and thereby
obstructs the view of traffic, obscures any traffic control device, or otherwise constitutes a
hazard to drivers or pedestrians.
(2) It is the duty of the property owner to remove any dead, overhanging boughs of
trees located on the premises of such property owner that endanger life or property on
the public right-of-way.
(3) In the event that any property owner fails or neglects to trim or remove any such
tree limb or any such shrub, vine, hedge, or other plant within ten days after receipt of
written notice from said department or concerned local authority to do so, said
department or local authority may do or cause to be done the necessary work incident
thereto, and said property owner shall reimburse the state or local authority for the
cost of the work performed.
Also, if the Board remembers there was an incident last year when a person delivering the
paper in the early morning did not see landscaping rock on the roadway and overturned her car
and was injured.
Additional item on August 22"d Erie Police Department along with Lafayette Police and
Thornton, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Boulder County Drug Task Force executed two
search warrants in Lafayette—31/2 months joint investigation of construction site thefts.
Search warrant recovered $80,000 in appliance. Thanks Officer Rex Brown lead investigation •
and Lt. Brown oversaw and supervised Erie participation.
Bill Powell, Interim Town Administrator, informed Trustee Carter that information would be -
presented to the Board at the beginning of October and hopes to schedule work sessions
sometime in the middle of October depending on availability of the board.
Trustee Carter would like to see the FY 2003 budget instead of line items budget, see a zero-
based budget based on service levels. Board could receive reports from various departments, so
the Board can have some choices of what service levels they would want to fund, with
whatever available money is available for next year. Trustee Carter would like to make a
formal motion to that affect. Mr. Powell will need adequate time to prepare this information.
v) Trustee Morgan
(I) Budgeting as it exists, is the clearest you will find in the area. It is a
governmental budget. I heard from Trustees that they are versed in accounting
practices and finance—there is no one that is going to go out and pull the towns
funds from various places and place in someone's hand so they can count it.
Our finances are audited yearly. The Board has received the auditor's report.
There is no indication anywhere that funds have been misspent, misused, hidden
away, or not accounted for. The budget truly reflects what the Town has. There
is a carry over from the previous year. It is clear and concise; anyone who takes
time to truly read the budget and balance the figures in various funds that will
find the budget becomes clearer and clearer. I don't feel the Town can afford to
put key staff's time to hand hold or going over and redrafting budgets in terms
that someone wants to see, that is not in general accounting terms. Accounting
systems probably should not be simplified to two or three numbers; what we
have; what we spent and what we expect to receive. It is a complex budget, but
cost and expenses are complex. There comes a time rather than asking for a
more simplified budget the board should take the effort to understand the budget
in its current form.
Trustee Schrichte asked the Mayor to respond since it was a direct challenge.
Trustee Schrichte stated that she meet with a gentleman over the weekend who was the
Director of Public Works of Park City, Utah and showed him the Towns budget and he
could make no sense of it. Trustee Schrichte stated having done a lot of research to try
to make since of budget, it is not something to be made sense of The gentleman from
Utah's response was that if he was hand that budget as Public Works Director of Park
City Utah, who hosted the Olympics underneath his watch, he could not make sense of
that budget. Trustee Schrichte did not see how she could make sense of the budget,nor
the citizens of Erie. Based on that Trustee Schrichte wanted her request to stand. (See
Exhibit "A").
vi) Trustee Pink
(1) Trustee Pink's sense, as a decision maker for the Town of Erie, is to understand
the fiscal situation of the Town as best we can. It is not so much from his point
of view that the Board was not receiving information—but that possibly need to
have explained where the Board was feeling that they didn't have their hands
around all the information. The Board can work this—numbers are numbers.
Board of Trustees directed staff to prepare a letter of agreement to present to Broomfield -
and Weld County and in the letter stating that the Town of Erie is not opposed to lighting
with approvals.

Mrs. Deborah Bachelder
Town of Erie
P.O. Box 750
Erie, CO 80516
Dear Mrs. Bachelder,
The Erie Open Space and Trail Advisory Board (OSTAB) has reviewed the submitted
material pertaining to the Boulder Junior Academy relocation to the southeast corner of
the Vista Ridge development. We also received a presentation of the proposed project
from School and Vista Ridge representatives.
While the OSTAB's review primarily focused on the Open Space characteristics of the 5-
acre parcel identified for ball fields, we were unanimously disappointed that through a
series of agreements, a nearby portion of community ditch was moved underground,
therefore destroying significant open space value of this site. However, we recognize that
the current applicant has no bearing on its current condition. With this in mind, and
considering the nature of the property has limited wildlife or open space potential being
bounded by "development" on all sides, we believe that ball fields are an appropriate use
of the site east of the school.
In addition, we would like to recommend the following for consideration:
1. An"Open Lands" definition needs to be included in governing town documents
which differentiates it from the "Open Space" definition. According to Town of
Erie community development staff, the only place the"Open Lands" terminology
exists is in the IGA governing this particular area. Until a time when OSTAB can
propose and adopt a formal definition, we are comfortable with the Broomfield
definition for this proposal:
Open Lands are public and private lands acquired or preserved in the public
interest. Open Lands include Park/Recreation Areas and Open Space.
Park/Recreation Areas are the most intensively developed and used types of Open
Lands. They may include active recreation and cultural uses, play structures,
irrigated turf and landscaping, hard surface areas and buildings.
2. We recommend that any fencing be "strategically"placed so as to allow for
byways of any wildlife in the area. Being located at a primary "gateway"to Erie,
fencing should also be aesthetically appropriate as viewed from the roadway
(Sheridan).
3. We recommend that Vista Ridge provide School staff and students access to the
adjacent pond to provide opportunities for naturalist studies.
4. We reiterate the recommendations made by Broomfield Open Space and Trails
Advisory Committee which include:
• Maintain 600 foot buffer on each side of Sheridan Blvd
• Restrict parking from occurring within the 600 foot buffer
• Provide public access to the fields
• Restrict lighting of the fields
• 600 foot buffer should be restricted as "open lands" in perpetuity
We appreciate your consideration during the planning process.
Should you have questions, please contact our Chairperson, Kelly Prendergast at
(303) 497-5697.
Sincerely,
The Town of Erie Open Space and Trails Advisory Board
