We measured a 500 foot distance from each and staked this distance. These stakes represent the radius of the setback from each of the oil sites in question. The proposed building will not be allowed to be built within these setback circles. Also, because you are installing a fire sprinkler system in the building,no additional fire hydrants will be required. The installation of the fire sprinkler system earns you a reduction in fire flow, thus negating an on-site fire hydrant requirement. Keep in mind that without a sprit-Lida system, full fire flow will have to be met. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 350-9513. Thank you for you patience and understanding in this manner.

During that visit we looked at the parcel and you explained your plans for development. his my understanding that you need a letter from the Division to submit to the City of Greeley as they review your development proposaL The parcel sits along the south bank of the South Platte River. The River bluff splits the property approximately in half The south portion of the parcel is on the upland bench and consists of irrigated crop fields that have traditionally been planted to row crop and/or hay. The bluff is composed of sorted, river gravel and could be described as highly erodable,native pasture. Below the bluff; the pasture is a wet meadow complex,low elevation,riparian pasture and open canopied cottonwood-willow forest. There are significant wetland areas in this portion of the property. As you explained,the river bottom,riparian pasture will be left largely undeveloped. At some point you may install minterpretive trail along portions of the riparian area,to assist with the goal of creating an educational center on site. You may also place a pole style,hay shed adjacent to the bluff Building construction will occur only on the upland bench area, in or next to the irrigated crop land. The Division has no objection to your plans to build a home site and/or educational center in the upland area. Irrigated agricultural fields have relatively low value as wildlife habitat. Development of tree plantings and shelterbelts along the uplands,that you have planned, may indeed provide an enhancement in wildlife value to this site. I have enclosed a brochure concerning the Division's CHIP's program that I mentioned to you as a cost share method of fiinding such development. Installation of a trail in the riparian zone should have minimal impact on that area as long as it does not interfere with wetlands. From a wildlife standpoint,the best site for the trail would be close to the bluff away from the River. We would recommend that careful consideration be given to the need for construction of a formal trail. If user numbers are low,it may be better to allow them to walk on the pasture turf using different paths to minimize any damage from"trailing." If use necessitates construction of a trail,we would recommend a low impact design. The Division installed a compacted trail using DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES,Greg E.Walther,Executes Director EXHIBIT WILDLIFE COMMISSION,Bernwd L Black,Jr..Chairman • Rick Stem.Vlc&Chirnwi • Fhb James s • crusher fines and binder at its Kodak Watchable Wildlife Site, south of Windsor, several years ago that has withstood the test of time. This trail receives regular use by individuals and school groups. Installation was relatively inexpensive,was less destructive to the site and has been cheap to maintain. Before the onset oftrail construction,in the wet meadow,the Division would recommend that a formal search for Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse and Ute's Ladies Tresses Orchid be conducted using accepted protocols. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of further service. Hopefuiy we'll be ha touch on designing and installing a CHIP planting to benefit wildlife. Be a, Larry Rogstad Enc.

Box 445, Greeley, CO 80631 (Donna Coble, Secretary) respectfully requests a copy of this letter be attached to the file in this matter prior to its presentation to the Board of Commissioners of Weld County. The resolution of the Weld County Commissioners has a number of omissions or corrections to be noted: 1. The drawing "site plan" has in the upper right-hand portion marked "South 1/16 corner, Sections 14 and 13," a concrete irrigation ditch labeled "(name unknown)." This belongs to the Union Ditch Company. It is an integral part of the tail ditch, a necessary irrigation facility mandated under Section 37-84-101, C.R.S. This must be clearly marked on the plat to guide future responsibility for its maintenance. 2. Under paragraph 2.D. of the planning commission recommendation, an agreement has been tendered to the applicant, Janet L. Ream, concerning the operation of the Union Ditch, and especially regarding its fencing and operation for the safety of the children utilizing applicant Ream's facility. A copy of the tendered agreement is attached. 3. Under paragraph 3.G. of the planning commission recommendation, all drainage patterns and retention facilities (including the fish and duck ponds) must be clearly identified on the plats, and covered by the indemnification and insuring clauses of the agreement between the applicant and the Union Ditch Company, presently tendered to applicant. 4. Applicant has also filed with the Water Court of Water Division No. 1 for a decree appropriating tail, waste, and storm water, some of which is collected in the Union Ditch and returned to the South Platte River through its waste/tail ditch, as belonging to the South Platte River system. Its availability to applicant should always 1 EXHIBIT 4_ Weld County Planning Department November 22, 2000 Page 2 be subject to administration of the South Platte River through the state engineer, District Engineer office in Greeley. Yours very truly, ivt William H. Southard WHS:ck Attachment AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is made by and between Janet L. Ream, First Party, and the Union Ditch Company, Second Party; WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, First Party owns portions of the Southeast Quarter (SE1/4) of Section Fourteen (14), Township Five (5) North, Range Sixty-five (65) West of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado, some of which are on the bench land above the South Platte River, and some below in the river bottom land, suitable for grazing and other purposes consistent with a high ground water level, which land is flooded in periods of high water on the South Platte River; and WHEREAS, First Party desires to create ponds with surface water for recreation and pescatorial use, as well as livestock pasturage (the current use), some of which area will be used by First Party in connection with a child care facility to be operated by First Party; and WHEREAS, Second Party owns and operates an irrigation system, the course of which traverses First Party's lands, which includes a tail ditch on an easement owned by Second Party to discharge into the South Platte River excess waters accumulating in the ditch of Second Party from storms or water not put to beneficial use. The course of such ditch has a steep grade where it courses from the bench land to the river bottom land immediately adjacent to the South Platte River; and WHEREAS, in times of storm in the watershed of.the South Platte River, the river gets into periods of flood, which occasions flood and surface water to cover much of the river bottom land, including that of First Party; and WHEREAS, Second Party is concerned about the safety of children brought onto the premises by First Party's child care facility, particularly on its ditch, including where the ditch carries water from the bench land down to the river bottom land at a rather steep grade, which could attract children to the dangerous swift flow of water. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the undertakings and construction to be provided through this agreement, IT IS AGREED: 1. First Party will fence off with a six (6) foot chain link fence located thirty- three (33) feet from the center line of Second Party's ditch or ditches, including the ditch rider road for operation, and to discourage children from getting close to the ditches of Second Party. The Second Party shall maintain its ditch access roads on the ditch banks, and all gates on said fence will have locks with access keys in possession of both First and Second Parties. 2. During such time as First Party operates a child care facility on her land, First Party agrees to indemnify and save Second Party harmless for any damages or loss arising from accidents or injuries to children from the child care facility of First Party. To assure Second Party of such indemnification, First Party will carry insurance = EXHIBIT 1 ti (/,See 4ri a3 coverage in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), with Second Party as additional assured. 3. The fence to be constructed by First Party will be maintained at the sole cost of First Party, and insofar as First Party is capable of doing so, children will be kept out of areas close to the ditch of Second Party, including the waste water or tail ditch, with the objective of safety for such children. 4. All plats filed with Weld County authorities regarding Case No. USR 1283 will clearly identify the ditches of Second Party. 5. Second Party does not own the land occupied by its ditches, but has an easement or right-of-way for such ditches and its maintenance roads for operation and maintenance purposes. Second Party has no ownership rights beyond said easements or rights-of-way. 6. First Party has filed an application for decree of water for livestock, storage, irrigation, fish propagation, and recreation, Case No. 00 CW 159, District Court, Water Division No. 1, Colorado, to which Second Party has filed an objection. This application will have Court hearing or hearings. The ruling of the Water Court on such matters involving the ditch of Second Party will be complied with and followed by the respective party as to any decreed water rights obtained by First Party. 7. Should noxious weeds exist on the property or become established as a result of the proposed development, the applicant/landlord shall be responsible for controlling the noxious weeds pursuant to Ordinance 169A. 8. No permanent buildings or hay stacking will be permitted within seventy (70) feet of the center line of the Union Ditch. 9. Right to farm covenant: Weld County is one of the most productive agricultural counties in the United States. The rural areas of Weld County may be open and spacious, but they are intensively used for agriculture. Persons moving into a rural area must recognize there are drawbacks, including conflicts with longstanding agricultural practices and a lower level of services than in town. Agricultural users of the land should not be expected to change their long- established agricultural practices to accommodate the intrusions of urban users into a rural area. Well run agricultural activities will generate off-site impacts, including noise from tractors and equipment; dust from animal pens, field work, harvest, and gravel roads; odor from animal confinement, silage, and manure; smoke from ditch burning; flies and mosquitoes; the use of pesticides and fertilizers in the fields, including the use of aerial spraying. Ditches and reservoirs cannot simply be moved "out of the way" of residential development without threatening the efficient delivery of irrigation to fields which is essential to farm production. Weld County covers a land area of over 4,000 square miles in size (twice the state of Delaware) with more that 3,700 miles of state and count roads outside of municipalities. The sheer magnitude of the area to be served stretches available 2 resources. Law enforcement is based on responses to complaints more than on patrols of the county and the distances which must be traveled may delay all emergency responses, including law enforcement, ambulance, and fire. Fire protection is usually provided by volunteers who must leave their jobs and families to respond to emergencies. County gravel roads, no matter how often they are bladed, will not provide the same kind of surface expected from a paved road. Snow removal priorities mean that roads from subdivisions to arterials may not be cleared for several days after a major snowstorm. Snow removal for roads within subdivisions are of the lowest priority for public works or may be the private responsibility of the homeowners. Services in rural areas, in many cases, will not be equivalent to municipal services. Children are exposed to different hazards in the county than in an urban or suburban setting. Farm equipment and oil field equipment, ponds and irrigation ditches, electrical power for pumps and center pivot operations, high speed traffic, sand burs, puncture vines, territorial farm dogs, and livestock present real threats to children. Controlling children's activities is important, not only for their safety, but also for the protection of the farmer's livelihood. Dated Janet L.

Weld County Public Works 1111 H Street Greeley, CO 80632 RE: Ms. Janet Ream's Project located in the SW '/ of Section 14,T. 5 N.,R. 65 W.,of the Sixth P.M.,Weld County,Colorado. Dear Ms. Houghtaling: On behalf of our client, Ms. Janet Ream, we have prepared an evaluation of the storm drainage impacts to their proposed structures. We visited the site and observed the terrain and existing drainage features. Our recommendations are based on our field observations as well as from information obtained from Weld County Planning Office,FEMA, and the State of Colorado's Water Conservatory Board. The site is located between U.S. Highway 34 and the Platte River. More particularly, the site is situated in the SW % of Section 14,T. 5 N.,R. 65 W., of the Sixth P.M.,Weld County, Colorado. The southern portion of the site is very flat and has been used for farming. An irrigation lateral dissects this site. This irrigation lateral runs from southwest to the northeast. There is an existing 32"by 52"elliptical Concrete Pipe culvert located under Highway 34 and discharges into a grass- lined ditch adjacent to the eastern boundary. The site slopes from the southwest toward the northeast. There are two existing CMP culverts located under the existing gravel driveway. The majority of the southern area drains to the southern culvert which is an existing 15 " CMP. The remainder of the southern area drains to the northern 12"CMP culvert. Both culverts drain to the existing grass lined ditch adjacent to the eastern boundary. We have been informed by the property owner that this ditch is a waste ditch for the Latham Ditch.Please refer to the attached sketch. There is a sharp 10 to 15 foot drop off as you proceed north toward the river. From the toe of the "drop-off' to the bank of the Platte River, the ground is relatively flat with most of the ground having wetlands vegetation. The soil on the southern portion of the property appeared to be very sandy-gravelly. The proposed development consists of a 10,000 square foot building and a paved driveway to the proposed building. The existing culverts under the private driveway will be replaced. The re- grading of the site will be limited to the grading associated with the private driveway construction and the construction of the building. The owner is planning to re-vegetate the disturbed areas. 2 EXHIBIT L USG#/213 From FEMA's Floodway panel number 080266-0010,the 100 year flood plain elevation for the Platte River adjacent to this site is approximately 4617. The location of the proposed structure is at an existing elevation greater than 4630.00. Therefore,the proposed structure will at least be 13 feet above the 100 year flood plain of the Platte River. The proposed building is located in FEMA 's Zone C,which, according to Mr.Brian Hyde of the Colorado Water Conservatory Board, is located 500 year plain.Hyde,the September side of 28, 1990th the 100 yr and publication of the Pannel is the latestversion. Also according to Mr. We calculated that increased runoff from the proposed development would only be 1.7 cfs during the 100 year storm event. Since the runoff form this site will discharge into the Platte River,the increase runoff should not significantly impact the flood plain of the Platte River. Currently,the grass-lined ditch adjacent to the eastern boundary discharges into a rectangular shape concrete channel that conveys the runoff to a large wetland that is located between the "drop-off' and the river. From visual observation, we estimate that the size of the wetland is about 10 acres. As shown on the attached calculations, the existing southern culvert should be replaced with a 24"CMP, and the new northern culvert should be at least a 12"CMP. To accommodate drainage away from the foundation of a building,we usually recommend that the top of the foundation be at an elevation that is at least 24 inches above the surrounding ground. However,due the possibility of the existing ditch overflowing due to higher than expected flows or blockage due to debris, we are recommending the top of the foundation be from 30 to 36 inches above the existing ground. By elevating the foundation and flatness of the existing ground, should the existing ditches overtop,there should be sufficient conveyance capabilities around the proposed building. If you have any questions,please contact me at your convenience. av� ft /di Sincerely, o` s ,4# i`f��""_ ', @oanaa axd tae. U:^°�C1lAe10.0 't; rQ '-7 e• w .S 1°195 'o James R.

September 5, 2000 Ms. Janet L. Ream 412 North 71'Avenue Greeley, CO 80634 Re: Learning Center Weld County, Colorado (LSC #001510) Dear Ms. Ream: This letter report presents the trip generation estimate for the proposed Learning Center(USR #1283), which would be located approximately three miles east of the City of Greeley and on the north side of US 34 at the existing location of an agricultural property. This agricultural property, along with one single-family home,is owned by Michael and Janet Ream. This report addresses the proposed Learning Center, which would be added to this site. The Learning Center would provide an agricultural educational environment for school aged children.Two distinct periods of operation would occur. During fall and spring, approximately 60 students and six adults from local schools would arrive during the day and, following one overnight stay, would depart the next day. It is expected that there would be a maximum of three busloads of children per day during the fall and spring. During the summer,a day camp would be in operation, with up to 30 students per day attending. In addition, there would be a maximum of five employees at the property during the summer. Based upon this information, Table 1 presents an estimate of trips expected to be generated by the proposed development. Bus trips have been adjusted by a passenger car equivalent (PCE) factor of 2.0, in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Highway Capacity Manual for a level two-lane highway. For the summer estimate, a conservative assumption has been made that all parents will drop off their children during the same hour in the morning and pick them up during the same hour in the evening. In addition, a conservative vehicle occupancy rate of 1.3 students per vehicle has been used. This occupancy rate could easily increase if a significant number of parents have multiple child households and send more than one child to the camp. It can be seen from Table 1 that this site would produce approximately 34 average passenger car equivalent trips per day during the spring and fall. During the summer, a total of 112 vehicle-trips would be produced per average weekday. EXH1I1T n US& .tom -- Ms. Janet L. Ream Page 2 September 5, 2000 Table 1 shows that the trips expected to be generated by the proposed Learning Center are well within the threshold of 200 vehicle-trips per day, a level beyond which a traffic impact study would be needed in Weld County. We trust that our findings will assist in the planning for the proposed Weld County Learning Center. Please call us if we can be of further assistance.

It has previewed and approved by an attorney we have been consulting with. I received the notice of the Weld County Commissioner's meeting set for January 10, 2001. Please let me know if there is anything we need to do before then. Thanks. Sincerely, Janet L. Ream EXHIBIT /V Janet L. Ream 412 N. 71st Ave. Greeley, CO. 80634 Phone/Fax(970)353-2616 December 22, 2000 Union Ditch Company Attn: Gary/Mies, President 26285 Weld County Road 47 Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Union Ditch Members, We apologize for the delay hi response to the mailing from William H. Southard dated November 22, 2000. We have taken time to consult with an attorney concerning the agreement drawn up by the Union Ditch Board and Mr. Southard. Our attorney has advised us not to sign the agreement. He stated that we had no particular obligation under Colorado law to fence off the ditch, to indemnify the ditch company, or to take any of the other actions requested by the Union Ditch Company. We assure you that all the risk taken in developing and implementing this Learning Center as part of our property is entirely ours. We are fully aware of the possibilities of injuries and litigations brought on by this undertaking but feel they are no more than any other operation that involves human clientele. The hazards that will exist during the operation of this facility are no more and may be far less than what these children are exposed to on any given day that they may walk to and from school along open irrigation canals, bodes of water present in many of the city parks,as well as crossing busystreets and rail road tracks. Under the circimstances of the adult supervised activities proposed on site, the Learning Center's policy will be that children will not be allowed within two rods of the Union Irrigation Company's waste ditch. in response to the issue raised concerning the naming of the waste ditch on the plat, that will be addressed. It was not named on the first plat due to the surveyor not finding any record of such. We will inform him of your request that it be added to the USR 1283 plat prior to being recorded. We have consulted with an attorney as well as an engineer concerning the filing for use of the tail water from the Union Ditch. They will be advising us as we traverse through the water court. We wilt comply with the letter of the law regarding this matter. We am very aware of the weed problem that exists on the property. We had hoped to be residing on the premises by now which would be conducive to cbser maintenance but have met with many delays in meeting all the stipulations set forth by the use by special review. We will be applying more of our time to weed control this crop year. We have found ourselves at a disadvantage concerning the right of way to the tail water ditch due to the fad that no formal agreement was included in the transfer of title from Grace Carlson. We would greatly appreciate a copy of the agreement for this maintenance right of way and any setback stipulations agreed to prior to our ownership. Although we goose not to sign the proposed agreement,we would certainly be conducive to addressing any concerns as best we can. It is our intention to respect any agreements currently in place.Please contact us any time. Sincerely,94.eat Janet L.Ream • cc: William H. Southard Sherry.Lockman P.
