Sheri Lockman, Department of Planning Services, provided a brief summary on the project.
Don Somer, Qwest, questioned the lack of easements on the replat. The easements need to be noted on
the approved plat that will be submitted. The easements need to be noted on the sides and backs of the
individual lots. Mr. Dalton indicated it was a County requirement that these be added. Ms. Lockman
indicated that this is an existing residential neighborhood and there is a possibility of parking lots or
structures located very close to the lot lines. Mr. Dalton indicated that part of the review process will be
contingent on all the utilities being able to serve the additional residences in the way they are designed. A
utility plat will need to be completed with the language that this is existing and there will be a waiver for the
County requirements that will need access.
Jerry Adams, Atmos Energy, asked for clarification with regard to Lot 1 being served. Mr. Martinez
indicated that Frederick provides most of the utilities in the area. Mr. Adams asked if Lot 2 has structures
that are being served. Mr. Martinez indicated that Lot 2 and Lot 6 do not have structures. Mr. Adams
indicated that Lots 1 and 2 are not adjacent to Johnson Street, and the ability to serve those lots will need
to be addressed. Mr. Martinez indicated that Lot 1 contains a residence and is being served already. Lot
2 will need to gain access from an easement through Lot 3. Mr. Adams indicated a utility easement will
need to be created to access Lot 2. Mr. Martinez indicated that at final plat, the surveyor will draw in the
utility easement that is needed, but requested that it be drawn in at this time so the location and the details
will be agreed upon. Ms. Lockman indicated that resubdivisions do not have a final plat so a final decision
will be made today by the Utility Board and addressed in staff comments. Mr. Martinez indicated that they
have a master utility plan from the City of Frederick that indicates where their utilities run through Johnson
Street. Lot 6 will have access through Lot 17, Block P, Evans Addition.
Don Carroll, Weld County Department of Public Works, indicated that easements need to be located close
to the property lines, not across the property. Mr. Carroll asked if access to Lot 2 will be from the street to
the east. Mr. Martinez indicated that a plan will be submitted that includes the information and the City of
Frederick will also review this. Mr. Carroll indicated that utility corridors will need to be located on the east
property lines, 20 feet from Lot 1 through Lot 6. There are different alternatives for easements.
Doug Dalton, Excel Energy, indicated that they have come up with an alternative that provides easements
around the perimeter of the development as well as easements down lots lines for utility service to the
back lot. Mr. Dalton indicated that a perimeter would be the best alternative.

A lengthy discussion ensued with regard to the best location of the utility easement that will service the
additional lots. Mr. Adams produced a rough draft of a map that will include all the easements for the
service of the lots. The draft will also correct a legal issue with two existing lots needing an easement
between them. Easements are typically 20 feet on the front and rear and 10 feet on the side lots. Due to some
extenuating circumstances and existing structures, notes will need to be added to the plat addressing those
circumstances.
Jerry Adams provided a summary of the recommendation with regard to the easements. The recommendation is to
approve the application based on the sketch. The sketch indicates that easement size and location. They follow
county standards with 20 feet around the perimeter of the subdivision, 10 feet on the interior lot lines,with the
exception of the common side lot lines of Lot 3 and Lot 8 will only be 5 feet on the south side of the common lot line.
The entire easement will be within Lot 3. There will be no side lot utility easements between Lots 3 and 4. All other
side lot lines will be standard. The sketch will be part of the record. Also along Johnson Street where Lot 4 is,there
will be a note added to the plat stating that no utility will go under the home but if the home is removed the easement
will take effect. Anything that is existing shall be pointed out in the notes on the plat.
Sheri Lockman indicated that a GIS drawing will be done addressing what was requested. Legal staff will also be
contacted as to the language that addresses the easement adjacent to Johnson Street to satisfy those needs along
with the existing easements.
Don Carroll moved to approve the project with the additional language and notes on the plat. Jerry Adams
seconded. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
