F 1 a MYERS eras Response to Department of Planning Services & Referral Agency Sketch Plan Comments Owl Creek Acres PUD The following statements are intended to address each of the specific County regulations, goals and policies as outlined in the February 8, 2000 letter from the Weld County Department of Planning Services. COMPLIANCE WITH THE WELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: A.Goal 1 — "Preserve prime farmland for agricultural purposes which foster the economic health and continuance of agriculture." — The proposed configuration has been designed to preserve the prime agricultural soils and production area through a 33.86 acre lot zoned PUD Agricultural. The subject parcel is 76 acres in size and is primarily classified as "irrigated land non prime" on the Important Farmlands of Weld County map. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan indicates in A.Goal 9 that 80 acres is considered the minimum lot size needed to retain a viable farming operation. This parcel is slightly less than 80 acres and contains a mixture of prime and non prime soils. Rather than take "prime"farmland out of production, the proposal strives to preserve the prime soils and production areas that exist on the site. A.Goal 3— "Discourage urban-scale residential, commercial and industrial development which is not located adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities" — This application proposes a non-urban subdivision consisting of six PUD Estate zoned residential lots and one 33.86 acre lot zoned PUD Agricultural. Although this proposal is not located adjacent to an existing incorporated municipality, it is located in close proximity to other existing residential development as well as other recently approved Weld County subdivisions of similar scale and density. Additionally, the proposal uses techniques that are supported by Weld County to ensure efficient and orderly development, the preservation of productive farmland and the preservation of passive open space for the enjoyment of the citizens of Weld County. Furthermore, the intent of the Weld County Planned Unit Development Ordinance #197 states that the PUD "is intended to allow an alternative method for property owners and developers to apply flexibility in developing land. This flexibility is generally not possible under the normal application of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. " Section 1.1 of the Weld County PUD Ordinance #197 also states "Encourage innovations in residential, commercial and industrial development so that the growing demands of the population may be met by greater variety in type, design and layout of buildings and by the conservation and more efficient use of open space in the development." A.Policy 4.1.8 — "Utilize techniques such as easements, clusters, building envelopes and setbacks to minimize the impacts on surrounding agricultural land when conversion to another use occurs."— The proposed configuration "clusters" the six Estate zoned lots on the southern portion of the property as is encouraged by A.Policy 4.1.8. The building envelope on the seventh lot is intended to serve as a residential building site for the owner of the PUD Agricultural zoned lot The location of the building envelope on Lot 7 was chosen to utilize the farmland as a buffer to ensure compatibility with the Estate zoned lots. The proposed building envelope will ensure that the typical agricultural outbuildings and equipment associated with agricultural production are not located adjacent to the Estate zoned lots. Irrigation of the agricultural land was also a determining factor in the building envelope location, as this location utilizes the existing farm road and will ensure the greatest productivity due the shape and topography of the property. Compatibility will be further addressed by including Weld County's "Right to Farm"covenant on the plat. 1 A.Policy 6— "Weld County will encourage developers and utility providers to deliver urban services prior to development." — Referral comments from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment indicate that "The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service. " In accordance with the Health Department referral, primary and secondary leach-field envelopes will be delineated on the plat and language restricting building on the leach-field envelopes will be included in the homeowners association covenants. In addition to the aforementioned Sections of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, this proposal also complies with the Planned Unit Development Goals and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. These Goals and Policies are specifically addressed in the Specific Development Guide included in this submittal. This proposal is in complete compliance with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. STREET/UTILITY/ACCESS STANDARDS: P.Goal 2 - The landscape plan includes the interior road cross-section including width and depth of roadway, type of surface and right-of-way, in accordance with the standards of Section 10, Design Standards of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. The applicants surveyor will be in contact with the Colorado Division of Transportation to determine the existing right-of-way and proposed reservation,if any. The internal road is proposed to be named Owl Lane. A stop sign will be installed per the Weld County Public Works Department requirements. Also, please note that the plat has been amended to include a bus stop and central mailbox area. Section 2.1 — The proposed agriculturally zoned Lot 7 will utilize an access from the proposed internal road. No additional accesses from State Highway 392 are proposed. The existing oil, gas and agricultural access shall be retained for its existing uses_ The reason for the location of the building envelope on Lot 7 has been previously addressed under A.Policy 4.1.8. The applicant fully intends to cooperate with the Galeton Fire Protection District to ensure adequate fire protection for the proposed subdivision. Additionally, under Duties of the Department of Planning Services Section 6.4.2.2 of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance #197, referral agencies "...shall respond within twenty-one (21) days after the application is mailed. The failure of any agency to respond within twenty-one (21) days may be deemed as a favorable response. " Section 2.6— The landscape plan clearly delineates utility easements in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. OPEN SPACE/LANDSCAPING: Section 2.5 & PUD.Policy 4.2—Section 6.3.5.2.7 of PUD Ordinance #197 requires 15% common open space for all PUD's containing a residential element and further specifies that "Departure from this standard will be considered and may be approved by the Department of Planning Services'staff as long as the intent of this Ordinance and the MUD Ordinance have been met." 2 This PUD application proposes 15.58 acres of common open space contiguous to the six PUD Estate zoned lots, or 21% of the total acreage of the PUD. The applicant has reconsidered the private airstrip and common hanger originally proposed in the Sketch Plan application and has decided to eliminate this portion of the proposal. Therefore, this proposal exceeds the requirements of Section 2.5 and PUD. Policy 4.2. Furthermore, Section 2.5 of PUD Ordinance #197 allows for an agricultural outlot to contribute toward meeting "...the intent of the Common Open Space requirement. " Although this proposal does not contain an 80 acre agricultural outlot, the 33.86 acre lot zoned PUD Agriculture will adjoin and complement the 21% common open space to give the impression of even greater open space from within and adjacent to the subdivision. PUD.Policy 4.3—Perpetual maintenance of all commonly owned areas and facilities will be specifically addressed in the homeowners association covenants. In accordance with A.Goal 8 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, the water rights associated with the property will be retained by the PUD Agricultural lot for continued agricultural uses such as for pasture and hay production. Open space areas will be planted with native grass species. The proposed landscaping will be native, drought tolerant species, which will be maintained as necessary. USES/BULK REQUIREMENTS/COMPATIBILITY OF USES: Section 2.3 — No variances from the normal Bulk Requirements are contemplated at this time. Any proposed variations will be specified in the PUD Final Plan as required by Section 2.3. OG.Policy 1.1—The Weld County and State of Colorado requirements pertaining to oil and gas facilities have been adequately addressed through the two hundred foot (200') "no-build" radius as delineated on the plat and specified in the homeowners association covenants. A.Goal 7 and A.Policy 7 — As previously stated, the proposed configuration has been designed to preserve the prime agricultural soils and production area through a 33.8 acre lot zoned PUD Agricultural. Additionally, the Weld County "Right to Farm" covenant will be placed on the plat. PUD.Policy 4.1 — The applicant has reconsidered the private airstrip and common hanger originally proposed in the Sketch Plan application and has decided to eliminate this portion of the proposal, also eliminating some potential incompatibilities in the process. However, the applicant does reserve the right to construct a common agricultural structure within the open space, should the homeowners association determine the need for such a structure exists. Such a structure would be subject to any applicable Weld County building permits. Additionally, in accordance with PUD.Policy 4.1, the proposal has been designed to ensure compatibility and harmony with existing and planned uses within and adjacent to the development. By preserving the prime ground for continued agricultural production, the proposal ensures compatibility with surrounding agricultural uses. Also, as stated earlier, the location of the building envelope on Lot 7 was chosen to utilize the farmland as a buffer to ensure compatibility with the Estate zoned lots. The proposed building envelope will ensure that the typical agricultural outbuildings and equipment associated with agricultural production are not located adjacent to the Estate zoned lots. 3 ^ DESIGN STANDARDS/IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT/SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS: Section 12 — A completed preliminary improvements agreement addressing road construction and maintenance, open space landscaping and maintenance, utility extension and signage is included in this submittal. Additionally, the Weld County Public Works Department referral dated December 13, 1999 indicates that the on-site improvements agreement, which was submitted with the Sketch Plan application is adequate to complete the project. ENVIRONMENTAL CRITERIA: Many of the concerns pertaining to settlement and/or expansion of soil and bedrock outlined in the Colorado Geological Survey's referral letter of December 8, 1999 will be addressed through the requirements of the Weld County Department of Building Inspection. In accordance with the Building Inspection Department referral dated November 22, 1999, all foundations for principle dwellings or structural steel accessory buildings will be engineered in accordance with the geotechnical report prepared by Terracon. Additionally, grading will be minimized and effective erosion and sediment control measures will be utilized during all phases of construction. As previously stated, referral comments from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment indicate that "The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service." According to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map Community Panel #080266 0635C, this proposal is not located within the floodplain. Additionally, the Weld County Public Works Department referral dated December 13, 1999 indicates that the primary historical drainage plan and drainage calculations meet the requirements for the drainage portion of the PUD as submitted. This proposal is very compatible with the existing surrounding uses and recently approved residential Weld County subdivisions in close proximity. This proposal allows for the clustering of six residential units while allowing for the preservation of productive agricultural land and passive open space. By allowing more than a total of five units, the flexibility of the PUD process allows for an overall, more desirable design with upgraded infrastructure than a five unit proposal with a gravel road. The PUD process makes the use of paving versus gravel and the cluster design for added open space to be feasible. SUMMARY: The responses to the Sketch Plan Comments are intended to address the concerns that Weld County staff and referral agencies expressed in the review of the Sketch Plan application. Minor changes to the design as delineated on the new drawings and new reports should address all the concerns that were listed. The PUD application process was created to allow for more flexibility in the subdivision process than the standard subdivision processes offer. The PUD application process allows for more creative solutions to the growing concerns that we all have pertaining to the rate of development along the Colorado Front Range. This proposal offers solutions to those concerns while allowing the property owners to exercise their rights as private property owners in Weld County, Colorado. 4 Specific Development Guide Owl Creek Acres PUD Change of Zone Application The intent of the Weld County PUD Ordinance #197 states "The Planned Unit Development (PUD) is intended to allow an alternative method for property owners and developers to apply flexibility in developing land This flexibility is generally not possible under the normal application of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances." The general concept of this proposal is to create a seven lot Planned Unit Development (PUD) that consists of six 4 acre PUD Estate zoned lots, one 33.9 acre PUD Agricultural zoned lot and 15.6 acres of common open space. It is the intent of the applicant to create a non-urban scale subdivision that provides single-family residential lots while preserving a large amount of common open space and the most agriculturally productive portion of the property. The proposed land uses include single-family residential uses, passive and active open space, recreational opportunities for the property owners and continued agricultural production. The architectural style of the residential structures will be left to the discretion of the individual lot owners with standard limitations that will be specifically outlined in the covenants. The structures within the PUD will include single-family dwellings and accessory structures, which will adhere to the setback, offset and other applicable requirements of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. This proposal is compatible with the surrounding land-uses, architectural style, character and zoning. The applicant wishes to establish a small, non-urban neighborhood consisting of residential and agricultural uses, which are consistent and compatible with the uses T• on surrounding properties. The applicant plans to live within the proposed PUD and therefore takes great pride in the design and maintenance plans for the property. Section 1.1 of the Weld County PUD Ordinance #197 states "Encourage innovations in residential, commercial and industrial development so that the growing demands of the population may be met by greater variety in type, design and layout of buildings and by the conservation and more efficient use of open space in the development". This proposal addresses the growing demand for this type of residential opportunity, while at the same time achieving several goals of the Weld County Comprehensive plan including preservation of open space and farm ground This application proposes to utilize the Specific Development Guide option as outlined in Section 6.2.1 of the Weld County PUD Ordinance #197. The following information is intended to address the eight major components of the PUD Development as outlined in Section 6.3 of the aforementioned ordinance. 6.3.1 Component One-Environmental Impacts: 6.3.1.2.1.1—Noise and Vibration 6.3.1.2.1.2—Smoke,Dust and Odors 6.3.1.2.1.3—Heat,Light and Glare 6.3.1.2.1.4—Visual/Aesthetic Impacts 6.3.1.2.1.5—Electrical Interference 6.3.1.2.1.6—Water Pollution 1 This proposed residential uses and continuation of existing agricultural uses should not have any negative impacts to the above listed environmental concerns on this property or on adjacent properties. In a referral response dated December 15, 1999, the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment indicated that the initial impact plan included in the Sketch Plan submittal "...adequately addresses all potential impacts as required by section 4.2.5.14 of the PUD Ordinance. " Additionally, appropriate measures to mitigate any potential construction impacts will be utilized during all phases of construction. The applicant is willing to address any specific concerns that staff or referral agencies may have pertaining to the listed environmental impacts. 6.3.1.2.1.7—Waste Water Disposal This proposal addresses the wastewater disposal on the site through the use of individual sewage disposal (septic) systems. In accordance with the referral response from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment,primary and secondary leach-field envelopes will be delineated on the plat and language restricting building on the leach-field envelopes will be included in the homeowner's association covenants. The Health Department also indicated in its referral response that "The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service. " 63.1.2.1.8—Wetland Removal This proposal does not remove any existing wetlands. ,.�• 63.1.2.1.9—Erosion and Sedimentation 63.1.2.1.10—Excavating,Filling and Grading 6.3.1.2.1.11—Drilling,Ditching and Dredging The design of the proposed PUD and the drainage plan requires minimal grading on the site. There will not be any drilling or dredging on the property. Erosion will be kept to a minimum in accordance with the drainage plan. Additionally, effective erosion and sediment control measures will be utilized during all phases of construction. 63.1.2.1.12-Air Pollution 6.3.1.2.1.13—Solid Waste 6.3.1.2.1.14—Wildlife Removal 6.3.1.2.1.15—Natural Vegetation Removal This proposal does not have a negative impact to the above listed environmental issues. This proposal will increase the amount of vegetative cover in the open space areas and on each lot, therefore providing more cover for wildlife in the area. 6.3.1.2.1.16—Radiation/Radioactive Material To the applicant's knowledge, there are no radioactive materials located on this site. Radon mitigation, if necessary, can be done on a lot by lot basis during the design and construction of each individual residence. r1/4 2 6.3.1.2.1.17—Drinking Water Source The proposed potable water source for this development is water taps from the North Weld County Water District Section 6.3.2.2.1.9 of the Weld County PUD Ordinance#197 requires "A description of the water source and system and a statement from the representative of the provider of the water system which demonstrates that the water supply quality and quantity is sufficient to meet the requirements of the USES within the PUD Zone District" Included in the application materials is such a "will-serve" letter from Mr. Don Posselt, Manager of the North Weld County Water District, as well as a tap service agreement as required by the Department of Planning Services' referral letter. Additionally, the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment indicated in its Sketch Plan referral response that "The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewage disposal." 6.3.1.2.1.18—Traffic Impacts The December 13, 1999 Sketch Plan referral from the Weld County Public Works Department indicates that, due to the non-urban nature of this proposal, there should be very little impact to the traffic and therefore does not require a Traffic Impact Analysis. As outlined in the Colorado Department of Transportation Sketch Plan referral comments, the proposed PUD will also adhere to access permit and access location requirements. 6.3.2 Component Two—Service Provision Impacts: 6.3.2.2.1.1—Schools The Platte Valley Weld RE-7 School District referral response indicates that the District is currently formulating policies on land dedication/cash in-lieu. The applicant has contacted the School District and proposes that, once such School District policies are in place, the impact to the school system will be mitigated with a cash-in-lieu fee, to be paid at the time of application for individual residential building permits. Additionally, the proposed configuration has been revised to delineate a centrally located school bus pick-up area. 6.3.2.2.1.2—Law Enforcement 63.2.2.1.3—Fire Protection 6.3.2.2.1.4—Ambulance This proposal should have a minimal impact to the above service providers. The applicant fully intends to cooperate with the Weld County Sheriff's Office, the Galeton Fire Protection District and the Weld County Ambulance Service to ensure that any impacts are mitigated. The applicant has been in contact with the Galeton Fire Protection District and based on those conversations the plan has been modified to provide a well for fire protection use only. The well is to be located in a central area to the proposed lots and will be either hooked to a hydrant or have an overhead pipe for filling a tanker truck. The proposed location of the fire protection apparatus is shown on the landscape plan. The individual lots shall have address numbers in a visible location to meet the criteria of the law enforcement agency and the ambulance service. Additionally, under Duties of the Department of Planning Services Section 6.4.2.2 of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance #197, referral agencies "...shall respond within twenty-one days after the application is mailed The failure of any agency to respond within twenty-one (21) days may be deemed as a favorable response. " 3 The review of this proposal by the public service providers will ensure that impacts are mitigated, if necessary. 6.3.2.2.1.5—Transportation 6.3.2.2.1.6—Traffic Impact Analysis The roadways within this proposal are designed to meet and exceed the minimum requirements of Section 10 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance and the Public Works Department The roadway construction and materials are listed within the preliminary on-site improvements agreement, which is a part of this submittal. Additionally, as previously stated in Section 63.1.2.1.18 — Traffic Impacts, the December 13, 1999 Sketch Plan referral from the Weld County Public Works Department indicates that, due to the non-urban nature of this proposal, there should be very little impact to the traffic and therefore does not require a Traffic Impact Analysis. As outlined in the Colorado Department of Transportation Sketch Plan referral comments, the proposed PUD will also adhere to access permit and access location requirements. 6.3.2.2.1.7—Storm Drainage The storm drainage for the PUD has been addressed in the drainage plan and statement, which is included as part of the submitted application materials (see attached plan). Additionally, the Weld County Public Works Department referral dated December 13, 1999 indicates that the primary historical drainage plan and drainage calculations meet the requirements for the drainage portion of the PUD as submitted with the Sketch Plan application. The drainage report has been amended to address the minor changes to the site design, which are based on Weld County staff and referral agency comments. 6.3.2.2.1.8—Utility Provisions 6.3.2.2.1.9—Water Provisions As previously stated, utilities are available for this proposal. The proposed potable water source for this development is water taps from the North Weld County Water District. Costs for construction of the utilities to service this proposal are included within the preliminary improvements agreement. Section 63.22.1.9 of the Weld County PUD Ordinance#197 requires "A description of the water source and system and a statement from the representative of the provider of the water system which demonstrates that the water supply quality and quantity is sufficient to meet the requirements of the USES within the PUD Zone District." Included in the application materials is such a "will-serve" letter from Mr. Don Posselt, Manager of the North Weld County Water District, as well as a tap service agreement as required by the Department of Planning Services'referral letter. The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment indicated in its referral response that "The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service." 6.3.2.2.1.10—Sewage Disposal Provisions The individual lots will utilize individual sewage disposal (septic) systems for sewage disposal. All of the lot sizes exceed the requirements of the Weld County Health Department A septic permit will be applied for with each individual residential building permit. In accordance with 4 the referral response from the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, primary and secondary leach-field envelopes will be delineated on the plat and language restricting building on the leach-field envelopes will be included in the homeowner's association covenants. The Health Department indicated in its referral response that "The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service." 6.3.3 Component Three—Landscaping Elements: 6.33.2.2—Landscape Plan 6.3.3.2.3—Treatment,Buffering and/or Screening Included in the application materials is a proposed landscape plan that shows the existing and proposed landscape elements within this proposal. The proposed landscaping is placed to enhance the property while protecting the views of the neighbors to the east. The proposed landscape species were chosen for their suitability with the location and climate. The applicant is working with the Agricultural Extension Office for a suitable grass species for this site. The open space will be seeded with the appropriate selection based on the site visit and recommendation of the Extension Agent. No screening is necessary on this site. The open space on the east side of the property will also act as a buffer between the residential uses of this proposal and the existing agricultural uses to the east. 6.3.3.2.4—Maintenance Schedule for Landscaping Elements r-. 6.3.3.2.5—On-site Improvements Agreement 6.3.3.2.6—Evidence of Water Plants will be maintained, on a weekly basis until established. Dead or dying material will be replaced at the earliest planting time possible. The plant species chosen are drought tolerant and will do very well with minimum irrigation once established. The proposed plant materials will be irrigated as necessary by truck. The irrigation water for this property will be retained by the 33.86 acre PUD Agriculturally zoned lot for continued agricultural uses. The on-site improvements agreement includes the landscaping elements and is part of this submittal package. 6.3.4 Component Four—Site Design: 6.3.4.2.1.1—Unique Features There are not features unique only to this property. 6.3.4.2.1.2—Rezoning Consistent with Comprehensive Plan The Weld County Comprehensive Plan directs the County to provide a process to subdivide agriculturally zoned property. This application proposes a seven lot, non-urban scale subdivision that has minimal impact on the service providers of the area and is consistent with the existing surrounding land uses. The proposal is located in close proximity to other existing residential developments as well as other recently approved Weld County subdivisions of similar scale and density. This proposal allows for efficient and orderly development of the area and the protection of passive open space for the existing and future citizens of Weld County 5 /"• In accordance with Comprehensive Plan A.Goal 1, the proposed configuration has been designed to preserve the prime agricultural soils and production area through a 33.8 acre lot zoned PUD Agricultural. The subject parcel is 76 acres in size and is primarily classified as "irrigated land non prime"on the Important Farmlands of Weld County map. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan indicates in A.Goal 9 that 80 acres is considered the minimum lot size needed to retain a viable farming operation. This parcel is slightly less than 80 acres and contains a mixture of prime and non prime soils. Rather than take "prime"farmland out of production, the proposal strives to preserve the prime soils and production areas that exist on the site. It is the intent of the property owners to comply with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, Weld County Zoning Ordinance, Weld County Subdivision Ordinance, and Planned Unit Development Ordinance#197. 6.3.4.2.1.3—Compatibility of uses allowed within the PUD Zone District The proposed configuration "clusters" the six Estate zoned lots on the southern portion of the property as is encouraged by A.Policy 4.1.8 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The building envelope on the seventh lot is intended to serve as a residential building site for the owner of the PUD Agricultural zoned lot. The location of the building envelope on Lot 7 was chosen to utilize the farmland as a buffer to ensure compatibility with the Estate zoned lots. The proposed building envelope will ensure that the typical agricultural outbuildings and equipment associated with agricultural production are not located adjacent to the Estate zoned lots. Access to the proposed building envelope is to be from an existing farm road on the western boundary of the property. The proposed zoning is consistent with the land use tables in the Zoning Ordinance, with the exceptions of 1. no swine and 2. ten alpacas allowed per acre on both the agricultural and estate lots. The animal units are also discussed in the preliminary covenants. Compatibility will be further addressed by including Weld County's "Right to Farm" covenant on the plat. 6.3.4.2.1.4—Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses include agricultural and residential uses similar to the uses proposed by this application. The proposed design for six PUD Estate lots, one PUD Agricultural lot and open space takes into consideration the existing uses of the surrounding properties, as well as, the site advantages and limitations. The design allows for a buffer between uses by means of both active and passive open space. The architecture within this proposal will be compatible with the surrounding structures. As previously stated, this proposal does not take "prime" farmland out of production or limit the ability for continued agricultural production on this site or adjacent properties. Lot seven will remain Agriculturally zoned allowing for continued production and other Uses by Right in the Agricultural Zone District, as listed in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance Compatibility will be further addressed by including Weld County's "Right to Farm" covenant on the plat. 6.3.4.2.1.5—Overlay Districts This proposal is not located within any of the overlay districts, as identified by the maps officially adopted by Weld County. Please refer to the F.E.M.A. map included in this packet. 6 6.3.5 Component Five—Common Open Space: This proposal is consistent with, and will maintain compliance with, Sections 63.5.2.1 through 6.3.5.2.5 of the Weld County Planned Unit Development Ordinance#197. 63.5.2.7-15% Common Open Space Minimum This proposal provides for 15.58 acres of common open space, which equals 21% of the total project acreage. The proposed size and uses of the common open space greatly exceeds the requirements of the PUD Ordinance for this area and meets the more stringent requirements for Urban Scale Development located within the Mixed Use Development Area. The use of the open space includes passive and active uses. In addition to the 21% common, usable open space as defined in Section 2.5 of the Weld County PUD Ordinance #I97, the 33.86 acre PUD Agricultural zoned lot enhances the impression and appearance of even greater open space. 6.33.3.2—Ownership of Common Open Space 6.3.5.3.2.1—Construction of Open Space 6.3.5.3.2.2—On-Site Improvements Agreement The common, usable open space will be owned and maintained by the homeowners association in perpetuity. The construction of the open space amenities is minimal and is mainly vegetation. An on-site improvements agreement is a part of this submittal and includes the proposed improvements to the common open space. 6.3.6 Component Six—Signage: This proposal shall comply with the sign standards, as set forth in Sections 6.3.6.3 and 63.6.4 of the Weld County Planned Unit Development Ordinance #197. A stop sign to be installed at the entrance to Highway 392 will be included in the on-site improvements agreement to meet the requirements of the Weld County Public Works Department. No monument signs are proposed at this time. It is understood that monument signs require a building permit and if a sign is proposed in the future will be subject to zoning and building permit requirements. 6.3.7 Component Seven—M.U.D. Impact: This proposal is not located within the MUD. Boundary, as delineated in the Weld County MUD. Ordinance or the Comprehensive Plan.

More specifically,the site is located on the north side of State Highway 392 and west of Weld County Road 55. The property is bounded on the north by the center section line, bounded on the west by the center section line, and bounded on the east by Owl Creek. The development of this site consists of ultra low-density residential development of 7 developed lots, 1 agricultural (undeveloped) lot, and a proposed airstrip on roughly 75.3 acres total property area. Access to the proposed site is from State Highway 392. Intent The intent of this report is to provide a drainage study in accordance with Section 10.12 of the' Weld County Subdivision Ordinance 173-E for the request for Sketch Plan concerning this _ property. This report is revised from the original report dated October 1999. Revisions have been made to the configuration of the lots from the previous report. Design Reference The City of Longmont Storm Drainage Criteria Manual (Based upon the Boulder County Storm Drainage Criteria Manual) provides the drainage design criteria for this report. Since all basins are less than 100 acres in area,the Rational Method was used to calculate storm flows. The values for runoff coefficients C, and rainfall intensities I, were taken from the City of Longmont Storm Drainage Criteria Manual for the anticipated future land use. The 2-year and 5-year storm events were used for calculations involving the minor storm and the 100-year event was used for the major storm. The required detention pond volume was calculated using the Equation Detention Method with a release rate equal to the rate of the 5-year historic flow from that portion of the property being developed. Existing Drainage Conditions Historically,this property drains generally from the north west to the south east and is split into 1 on-site drainage basin and 1 off-site drainage basin:The flow from the on site drainage basin _ sheet flows south east to the to the east and south property lines. The majority of the flows are collected in Owl Creek via a combination of sheet flows and an existing drain culvert. Off-site drainage from the west adjacent property is generally collected in a waste irrigation ditch on the west property boundry which flows south, discharged into the borrow pit on the north side of State Highway 392, and discharged into Owl Creek. Due to existing topography along the west boundary of the property, the majority of these flow may never reach the subject property however, for the purposes of this report, the off site flow will be considered. Drainage Report— l-IegN i Property May 2000 Page2of2 a Developed Drainage Conditions Drainage from the proposed developed area will be directed from each individual lot to the proposed access roadway borrow ditch or to graded earth swales at the rear of the lots. These flows will be directed to a proposed detention pond at the south west corner of the property and discharged to Owl Creek. Release from the detention facility will be released at the historic 5- year rate for that portion of the property that will be developed. Conclusion The proposed development will not adversely affect the existing drainage patterns surrounding the site. Developed runoff from the property will be detained in a proposed detention pond and eleased at the historical 5-year rate of 7.1 cfs maximum. A copy of the historical drainage plan, proposed drainage plan, and drainage calculations follow for your review.
