This letter is to clarify a change that will be made to the above referenced PUT) in order to comply with State well requirements. Please reference the State's response to the Change of Zone submittal for this PUD. We will be dropping the development from six estate lots to five estate lots. This change will be accomplished by simply erasing the property line between Lots 5 and 6 and creating one large lot at the end ofthe cul de sac which will hereafter be called Lot 5. Plcasc refer to the attached drawing for clarification. With the Planning Commissions approval, we will make this change on the Final Plat map and would still request an Administrative Review at Final Plat. In addition to the above, we would like for the Commission to note that when rural wale' becomes available to these properties, we would like to apply to divide Lot 5 into two lots at that time and supply the lot with rural water. This extra lot is intended for the use of family members who may need assistance and need to live near us;therefore,we would like to keep our options open for a future lot. At this time we are submitting this letter as a solution to the current well objections. Sincerely, /Wee.

Noise and Vibration—As this PUD will be for residential use only, noise and vibration will not impact this area or surrounding areas with the possible exception of the short term construction of homes. B. Smoke, Dust and Odors—The design and water allowance for these lots limits the future owners' use to domestic use; thus eliminating the probability of smoke, dust or excessive odors. C. Heat, Light and Glare— It is unexpected that residential lots will create any heat, light or glare issues. D. Visual/Aesthetic Impacts —This PUD will enhance the countryside along WCR 100 by creating areas of vegetation, trees and cultivated yards as well as providing a neighborhood look without interrupting the agricultural uses and beauty of the land. E. Electrical Interference—The necessary electrical lines will be located in easements as defined on the enclosed map. There is no expected impact with electrical interference in regard to radio, aerial or migration activities. F. Water Pollution—The PUD will implement drainage control and septic systems in compliance with Weld County regulations. No water pollution impact is expected. G. Waste Water Disposal—Please refer to Engineer's report. H. Wetland Removal —Wetland Removal does not apply to this PUD as no wetlands exist on the property. I. Erosion and Sedimentation—Erosion controls and reseeding methods will be used during and after construction. J. Excavating, Filling and Grading—Normal excavation shall occur during infrastructure installation and construction of homes. Construction activities shall be in accordance with standard procedures as well as Weld County Public Works regulations. K. Drilling, Ditching and Dredging—These impacts do not apply to this development. L. Air Pollution—Pollution should not be a factor for this development. Only residential development and agricultural uses will occur. M. Solid Waste—This impact does not apply to this development. N. Wildlife Removal—We are not anticipating the need for any type of wildlife relocation. Certain wildlife will relocate due to the development of the property. Most of the wildlife will stay or frequent the development due to the size of the lots and retained agricultural acreage. Exotic or endangered species are not present on this site. O. Natural Vegetation Removal —Minimal disturbance of the natural vegetation will be necessary during construction. Areas that are disturbed will be reseeded after construction is complete. P. Radiation/Radioactive Material —These impacts do not apply to this development. Component Two—Service Provision Impacts A. Schools—This development is within the RE-9, Ault School District. Please see attached letter. This amount will be paid in full upon final plat approval. B. Law Enforcement—The development will be served by the Weld County Sheriffs Department. Please see the enclosed correspondence as verification for meeting their requirements. C. Fire Protection—This development will be served by the Nunn Fire District. Please see the attached correspondence as verification for requirements. D. Ambulance—Ambulance service will be provided by Weld County Ambulance. The Nunn Fire District as well as Air Life of Greeley will provide additional emergency service. Only minor impact, if any, shall occur regarding Ambulance Service. Law Enforcement, Fire Protection and Ambulance services are on an as- needed basis. E. Transportation (Internal Roadways)— In compliance with Weld County Public Works, please refer to plat for engineered roadway and cross section. The internal roadway will meet Weld County's paved requirements and maintenance will be adopted by the county. Also, please note on plat the increased right of way to 40 feet for WCR 100. The current right of way is 30 feet. An additional 10 feet has been added to the south side of WCR 100 to accommodate Weld County Public Works requirements. Ten feet will need to be added to the north side of the road. F. Traffic Impact—According to comments received from Weld County Public Works. "This development will introduce approximately 70 additional vehicle trips per day to the roadway system. A traffic count taken 05-23-02 yielded 673 AADT. The additional residential traffic added to the roadway system will not have enough impact to require off-site roadway improvements. A traffic study will not be required." G. Storm Drainage—Per Weld County Public Works requirements, we are submitting a stamped, signed and dated engineer's report. Please see enclosed. H. Utility Provisions—Please see enclosed statements from applicable utility companies. I. Water Provisions—Well water will serve the lot owners' needs. All 6 lots will be served by individual wells. Each lot will be allowed 3,000 square feet of watering, and up to two horses or the equivalent under the proposed well permits. The proposed wells will be located the required 600 feet apart. Approximate expected drilling depth is 700 feet and will access the Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer. Correspondence regarding the State's requirements is enclosed. J. Sewage Disposal Provisions— Individual septic systems will be installed for each lot per regulations of the Weld County Health Department at the time construction is approved. In response to the specific concern expressed by the Health Department that Lots 2 and 3 may require engineered septic systems, this information will be disclosed to prospective buyers prior to the sale of either lot. Component Three—Landscaping Elements A. Landscaping will take advantage of the natural vegetation of the site, as it currently provides adequate erosion control. A street sign will identify the entrance to the PUD. A balled and burlap (or equivalent) tree will be placed on either side of the entrance of the PUD, taking care not to obstruct traffic views and maintaining compliance with required sight triangles. One of the following trees will be selected, depending on availability: Marshall Seedless Ash, Patmoore, Honey Locust, or Austrian Pine. Please refer to Landscape Map for locations. B. Buffering or screening between properties or other land uses are not planned for this PUD. C. Maintenance for above mentioned trees will be the responsibility of the Home Owner's Association. However, once established, the trees should not require regular maintenance outside of disease control or severe weather conditions. D. On-site improvements will not apply to this PUD E. Please refer to section C. The only landscaping outside of natural vegetation and individual homeowner's yards will be the two previously mentioned trees. Component Four—Site Design A. This site does not contain any unique features. B. By rezoning this PUD, we will be creating desirable and convenient residences. This is an appropriate use for the property and increases the value of the property. Rezoning will also preserve the majority of the area for agricultural purposes. C. Because of the location of this property and surrounding development this rezoning will be compatible with the surrounding area. The PUD will contain estate properties as outlined in Section 23-3-400. Conflicts between land uses will not apply as all properties will adhere to the estate zoning requirements as well as The Shire Homeowners' Association Bylaws and Covenants, please see enclosed. D. The surrounding area is also agricultural with scattered residences. This arrangement will be compatible with this PUD. No land use conflicts are anticipated. Additionally, the 100+ acres, set aside as an agricultural outlot, will ensure the agricultural setting of the area. E. This PUD is not located within a flood hazard, geologic hazard or airport overlay District. Component Five— Common Open Space Usage Section 23-1-90 Definitions: If a cluster development is proposed on agricultural lands, the land shall be used or capable of being used for agricultural production such as farming and ranching operations for the next forty (40) years. A 100+ acre agricultural outlot has been designated for this PUD. Maintenance will be retained by the owners of the agricultural outlot. This agricultural outlot satisfies the PUD requirements and eliminates the need for common open space. Component Six—Sign age A stop sign and a street sign will be placed appropriately within the development. Please refer to the engineered road design. Additionally, a sign noting a directory of the residences as outlined by the sheriff's department will conform to Weld County Code 27-6-90 and will be maintained by the The Shire's Homeowners' Association (please see The Shire's Homeowners' Association Bylaws). Component Seven—MUD Impact According to 26-1-20, "the MUD area covers approximately 12,800 acres with approximate boundaries at WCR 1 on the west, WCR 11 on the east, State Hwy 66 on the north, and WCR 20 on the south." This PUD is unrelated to this MUD development. Component Eight—Intergovernmental Agreement Impacts This PUD is unaffected by IGA, UGB and MUD impacts and overlay districts.

You have addressed these concerns with the exception of the permanent signage which we discussed. This sign should be a graphical presentation of your sub-division placed at the entrance of the sub-division. I am sorry that I was not more clear about this request. My of the names Fairhaven Drive, Silver Leaf Drive, or Graywood Lane will be fine for your street name. Please call me if you have further questions or concerns.

In your response to our original sketch plan you mentioned the following: A. Bus pull out and shelter—We have addressed the pull out with RE-9 and have proposed a pull out/turn lane from WCR 100 that should meet the district's needs. Please see the attached map as a preliminary draft. Since the need for a shelter has yet to be determined, we propose that the building of a shelter become the responsibility of the Home Owner's Association. B. Mail distribution—We propose to locate the mailboxes along the internal roadway of the PUD so residents do not have to cross a county roadway to obtain their mail. C. Names of streets-There is only one street to be named. We would like to propose any of the following names. Please notify us of any that are unacceptable and we will not use them. Fairhaven Drive, Silver Leaf Lane, Crestview Drive, or Graywood Lane. D. Permanent Signage—As this is only a six lot PUD and not a subdivision, we will not be placing a sign at the entrance. It will be marked by the street sign. E. Roadways—Due to county requirements,the internal roadway to the PUD will be paved and consequently adopted by the county for all future maintenance. F. There will be a Home Owner's Association and we will notify the sheriff's office of a contact name and phone number for future communication. Until that is determined,please feel free to contact us at anytime at our home, 221-3334. G. Oil or Gas Wells—There are no oil or gas wells on this property. If these proposals meet your concerns,please indicate by signing and faxing this letter to us at 970-221-3334 and we will proceed in making the above changes to our PUD plans. Please contact us with any questions or concerns,we appreciate your time and help.

THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE NUNN FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT. THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THEY NEED A WELL FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION ON THEIR PROPERTY. THE WELLS IN THIS AREA DO NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH WATER TO MEET THE DEMANDS THAT WE REQUIRE FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION. THE PROPERTY THAT IS OWNED BY THE MEINERS IS -� LOCATED CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE TOWN OF NUNN THAT ALL OF THE WATER NEEDED FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION WOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE FIRE ON TANKERS FROM NUNN. NUNN FIRE CURRENTLY HAS TWO FIRE ENGINES THAT HAVE 500 GALLON TANKS ON THEM FOR THE INITIAL FIRE ATTACK. WE ALSO HAVE TWO TANKERS THAT WOULD BRING WATER TO THE FIRE. ONE IS A 4700 GALLON TANKER,THE OTHER IS A 3000 GALLON TANKER. THEY ARE CARRYING THREE PORTABLE TANKS THAT WOULD BE DROPPED AT THE FIRE SCENE SO THEY CAN IMMEDIATELY RETURN TO THE CITY FOR MORE WATER WITH THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT WE CAN BRING IN WITH US TO A FIRE, A WELL WOULD NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH OF A WATER SUPPLY FOR US TO EVEN CONSIDER USING IT. IF THE FIRE IS EXTREMELY LARGE WE CAN ALSO MUTUAL AID FIRE TANKERS IN FROM TWO OTHER NEIGHBORING FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

In order for the district to be insured that it receives its money through the in-lieu process we must collect the $759.00 fee amount for each property before we can write out a receipt that shows the interest of the district being met. The reason that I require this to be done is that when the county receives notification from us through the receipt that you present to them that you have met all the requirements set forth by the district there is no recourse for us to be able to collect unpaid fees in the future. If there is no legal mandate to require sub dividers in the future to pay us the fee because they have satisfied all county requirements for a recorded exemption, the district in most cases will never be paid. I truly am sorry that I cannot make exceptions to this, but, if I were to do this, I would not collect from most people who know there is no legal obligation on their part to pay at that time because they already have the recorded exemption approved by the county. In response to your question regarding the most favorable stop for a bus stop at the six lot PUD that you plan to develop in the future, I have passed this information on to the transportation department for their analysis. They will review your plans and make a physical observation of the property and advise me as to what would be best concerning a bus stop. If you have any questions please give me a call. Sincerely, Neld " Sp A , Dennis M. Scheer, Ed. D Superintendent of Schools October 18, 2002 Mr. Dennis Scheer Superintendent of Schools 209 West First Street Ault, CO 80610 Re: Attached Planned Unit Development Proposal Dear Mr. Scheer, As we discussed on the phone earlier today, I am sending this letter to outline our plans for accommodating RE-9 needs in relation to the development of this property. Please refer to the map for clarification and note hand written changes are to be added at final plat. RE-9 requires in-lieu payment of$759 per dwelling unit. There will be six sellable lots within this PUD. Lots 1-4 are intended for sale while Lots 5 and 6 will be kept for family use. Due to the stage of development we are currently in,we would like to request that we pay RE-9 $3804 for lots 1,2,3,4 and 6. This amount would be due and payable on the later of either August 20,2003 or 90 days following the final plat approval for the PUD. We would also like to request that we pay for Lot 5 when it is developed as we are not planning to develop this lot until a family need arises such as parents or grandparents moving near us for assistance. I understand that recordkeeping for this request is cumbersome and would likely end up being on our honor. I also understand that it is likely the in-lieu payment per dwelling amount will increase by the time we develop Lot 5. We are committed to informing RE-9 ourselves at such time as development takes place. In addition to the above,there is the question of a bus pull out for the PUD. We are proposing a pull out/turn lane into the PUD from WCR 100. Please refer to map for draft. Again, we are committed to working for the benefit of children attending RE-9 schools and will adjust this offer if necessary. If this proposal seems agreeable to you,please indicate by signing below and faxing to 970-221- 3334 and we will proceed according to the above. Thank you for considering our proposal.
