PUBLIC INPUT: Norman Nash, Weld County resident, stated previously the Board declined to join in a
petition in favor of the Cherry Avenue Annexation petition; however, the developer is now proposing the
Balsam Village Second and Cherrywood Annexations. Mr. Nash presented a petition, marked Exhibit A,
signed by 72 surrounding property owners opposed to the development and he asked that the Board take
a public position of opposition to this development. Mr. Nash stated the neighborhood is almost
unanimously opposed to the proposal; he submitted an aerial photograph of the area, marked Exhibit B;
and explained the current annexation proposal. Mr. Nash presented a map, marked Exhibit C, showing
the Balsam Village Second and Cherrywood Annexations and explained a portion of the Balsam Village
Second Annexation will be attached to East 20th Street to achieve 1/6 contiguity with the city limits. Mr.
Nash stated the City of Greeley is proposing that East 20th Street be widened from the existing 20 feet to
70 feet, which will impact the adjacent property owners. Mr. Nash submitted four photographs, marked
Exhibit D, showing a person standing on various properties indicating approximately where the new curb
and gutter will be placed if the annexation is approved. He stated the developer initially proposed 325-400
units consisting of single family units and duplexes,which is high-density and not compatible with the area.
Mr. Nash stated the area between the Balsam Village Second Annexation and Cherrywood Annexation
is part of Weld County and is not likely to be annexed, which will be almost completely surrounded by the
City. Mr. Nash reiterated that it would be helpful if the County would take a public stand opposing this
proposal, and stated the City Planning Commission will meet on February 22, 2000,to receive public input,
and the City Council will make a decision on April 4, 2000. In response to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Nash
stated he and more surrounding property owners plan to attend the City Planning Commission and City
Council meetings. In response to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Nash gave his name, address, and phone number
for the record. Mr. Nash stated the City is attempting to annex all of East 20th Street and widen it.

regarding the intentions,capabilities,and policies of the District in relation to the RiverDance Development.

stated Site Plan Review#314 was approved by staff on January 7, 2000. The Improvements Agreement
According to Policy Regarding Collateral for Improvements, and Irrevocable Letter of Credit#383, in the

Commissioner Vaad moved to approve said agreement, accept said collateral, and authorize the Chair to

CONSIDER DECISION REGARDING CHANGE OF ZONE #528 FROM A (AGRICULTURAL) ZONE
DISTRICT TO PUD (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) DISTRICT FOR 600-800 LOTS WITH
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL USES, SIEGRIST COMPANIES, C/O TUTTLE APPLEGATE, INC.
(FROM 01/26/2000): Chair Kirkmeyer stated this is not a public hearing, and ascertained Commissioner
Baxter reviewed the tape of the hearing held on January 26, 2000. She stated the motion was made to
deny the application of Siegrist Companies, do Tuttle Applegate,for Change of Zone#528. Commissioner
Baxter stated he carefully listened to the tapes, and he understands the issues and answers given during
the hearing. He also stated he had a copy of the Hearing Certification available which gave the comments
from the other Commissioners, and verified he has not discussed the case with anyone, nor does anyone
know his decision. Commissioner Baxter stated that, although the development is very well planned and
in a beautiful area, he has some concerns. He commented that his main concerns include the extreme
density of the development, which is between 4.3 units per acre to 8 units per acre. Comparing this
development to a Minor Subdivision next to a municipality, it would be equal to approving 100 Minor
Subdivisions, or 150 additional units, and he cited UBG.Goal 2, regarding concentrating urban
development in the Mixed Use Development Area and providing an official designation between future
urban and non-urban uses as reasons for his decision. Commissioner Baxter commented on the
magnitude of the development and huge amount of investment for the property owner/developer, stating
property rights are important, as well as the ability of individuals to use their property as they desire.
However, PUD.Goal 3 and R.Policy 3 require adequate public services and facilities be available with
efficient and cost-effective delivery to the proposed development. Commissioner Baxter stated this
development would have a huge impact on agriculture, which the Board strives to preserve, and even
though prime farmland is not being taken out of production,the purchase of the large quantity of raw water
would force the price of water up and make it unavailable for agricultural uses. He also stated concerns
regarding the large number of sewer system taps, and having the appearance of pushing for expansion
of the St. Vrain facilities. He stated surrounding farm uses would be partially protected by the Right to
Farm Covenant, but the high density would create even bigger problems and exacerbate urban/non-urban
problems. He further stated the Department of Public Work issues, which would be diminished through
monies generated with impact fees; however, issues would remain regarding State Highway 66 and the
1-25 Frontage Road, and the impact on the school district. He explained although the required formula
amount is paid, the total taxes and state money would only cover the operating expenses of the schools,
and with nothing set aside to build more schools, a bond issue would be required in the future, considering
as many as 600 students would be added from the development. Commissioner Baxter stated the
Comprehensive Plan requires the Board to look at the location, but also at the impact and magnitude of
the development; and the impact to the County for dollars in the law enforcement area. Therefore,
Commissioner Baxter stated he is in favor of the motion to deny. Chair Kirkmeyer declared the motion
Minutes, February 16, 2000 2000-0441

RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent
agenda. No Ordinances were approved.
Let the minutes reflect that the above and foregoing actions were attested to and respectfully submitted
by the Acting Clerk to the Board.
There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 9:30 a.m.

Dear Sir: A ORNEY'S FCC
We are writing in regard to the annexation of East 20th Street
to complete a new subdivision called Cherrywood.
We have lived in this community for only a year. However, we
have grown to love our neighborhood and all of the qualities
it offers . It is a peaceful area and our five acres provide
space for recreation and our livestock. The neighborhood is
small enough to enjoy knowing our neighbors yet large enough
for all of us to have some elbow room.
Our concerns regarding this annexation are countless . Our
property extends to the center line of East 20th Street.
Prospective Cherrywood, which is soon to follow the annexation,
is almost certainly going to require widening East 20th. This
would eliminate nearly half of our corral , four large trees
which have been standing since 1946 , a row of lilac bushes,
and require moving our irrigation ditches underground. Part
of the charm of our property lies within the things listed.
As previously mentioned, our corral stands very close to the
road. Excess roadway traffic and sidewalk traffic present a
safety concern for our horses and the passersby.
The prospective Cherrywood will place nine houses on our
fenceline. Our hay crop is dormant during winter months and
our horses will be turned out to pasture graze. A down fence,
however cause, could place loose livestock in a residential
area. The liability involved is scary to think about.
After attending a PTA meeting at East Memorial Elementary in
the fall , I became aware of how the growth of surrounding areas
is already affecting our school district. They have changed
boundaries to absorb some of the overflow. Unfortunately, they
are still over capacity.
If the proposal was to build homes on three to five acre parcels
of land, not creating the necessity to widen East 20th or the
expectation of several too many children in our already
overcrowded school district, our neighborhood could still exist
as it is . A quiet, safe environment with room to stretch your
arms . The prospective Cherrywood is just not compatible. It
would mean jumping from city homes to country homes to city
homes . It seems so haphazard.
Our request to you is to decline the proposal at hand until
a better thought out plan is presented. Thank you for your
consideration. 1
Sincerely, r �,,J

Dear Mr. Barker,
This letter is in regard to the proposed Cherrywood Annexation.. I currently own the
property located at 1308 E 20 Street and am opposed to this annexation. I feel that the
proposed development is not compatible with the present community and surrounding
area. Currently the properties include agricultural and small acreage's, with animal and
farming activities. The proposed development is to include homes designated to have the
highest price in the 130's with the majority being less than that. A development of this
sort will weight this area rather than balance housing values. Low income and low priced
housing already exists between First Avenue and Cherry, there are trailer parks, Migrant
Housing, low income apartments and new low range houses in the subdivisions
surrounding East Memorial School. Annexation would bring increased traffic, noise and
light pollution and decreased safety on the roads as well as a probable decrease in
property value. As a property owner I object to the cost of adjusting my property for
roadways and easements. My property will remain outside of the city limits but as I
understand it I will have to pay to adjust my property if the road were to be widened
when annexed into the city. I purchased this property because it provided a safe country
atmosphere with quiet surroundings annexation would drastically change this setting. I
urge you to consider the position of property owners in the area who have chosen not
only a home but a lifestyle as well. Greeley is growing and I understand the need for
moderate housing but I also understand the need for open space and agriculture in this
community. Development may be inevitable, if so I would prefer development of small
acreage's. Please preserve the integrity of this community.

Re : Annexation petition submitted to the City of Greeley by
Snowdance Development and Jim Vetting, owner of the land
We are landowners with five acres and living at 2121 Cherry
Avenue. There are two issues we are quite concerned with
regarding this proposed annexation.
1 . The legality of this proposed "flagpole" Cherrywood
annexation using 20th Street.
2. The proposed Cherrywood annexation planned with high
density houses is very definitely not compatible in
this area which has mostly small acreages, many with
horses , sheep, cattle, farming and irrigation activities .
We are surrounded by the county and appreciate the county
services that we would lose by 20th Street and Cherry Avenue
possibly becoming controlled by the city.
Your support and consideration for our area will be greatly
appreciated! There is an overwhelming opposition to this
type of annexation.
Thank you for your consideration and time and any help you may
be able to give to our community east of Greeley.
Very Sincerely,

P' Y'S_OFFICE
Letter to the Editor:
I am writing in response to the proposed annexation of the second stage of Balsam Village
Subdivision., Cherrywood Subdivision and the annexation and widening of East 20th Street.
Growth in Greeley has mushroomed in the last two to three years. Expansion is in all
directions. Annexations and subdivisions in the area between First Avenue and Cherry Avenue
and between 2oth Street and 24th Street have occurred in the last year and one half with
incredible speed. The area around East Memorial School has quickly changed, with the large
increase in single family "affordable" homes absorbing open land and farms. Up to this point it
seems that the progression of building, though fast and impacting, is "natural", in the sense that
one is connected to another and fitting to the setting. Present attempts to extend the subdivisions,
however, are bringing about serious questions involving legal intent, flagpoling and hopscotch
planning and concerning neighborhood compatibility and diversity. There is question as to
whether or not such action is reasonable and orderly..
This fall there was request for annexation of Cherry Ave. in order to connect Cherrywood
to the city for development. It was deemed a flagpole annexation and turned down. The present
annexation request is a response to that refusal. Using creative engineering and a tortured view of
the law, the developer claims it now is not a flag pole annexation. Although legal description , as
it has been described, is not deemed flag poling, the visual, graphic picture actually looks like a
flagpole! Balsam Village appears as a base, 20th Street the pole , and Cherrywood quite a ways
down the street is the flag. In order for the subdivision to extend to the "flag", 20th Street has to
be annexed and the long term, established residents all along the "pole" imposed upon, twenty five
feet of their front yards and property becoming disposable. The intent of the law in reference
appears to be to prohibit such destructive expansion, not support it.
Reasonable and orderly growth is part of city planning guidelines. There are many
questions concerning these issues around this annexation proposal. First is hopscotch building
orderly? Does orderly growth include considerations of density, balance and diversity in a
community? Does orderly growth include recognition and respect for established communities
that are directly impacted by that growth? Does orderly and reasonable growth include concern
for public works, schools, safety and environmental issues? Presently East Memorial School is
surrounded by new subdivisions, all high density"affordable" home communities, there are three
trailer parks, subsidized apartments, migrant apartments and three more large areas of ground
cleared and OK'd for high density single family homes and modulars. A true need for these types
of homes is being met. The need for expansion of high density home subdivisions in the area is at
question. It would seem more reasonable to have a variety of homes available, for example, the
extension of small acreages. Variety can find itself through thoughtful awareness of the need for
balance and diversity in all areas of Grtptjeliminating " pockets" that draw lines between people. In
recognizing that need, finding a way that growth can be positive and compatible with existing
communities should be given precedence. Without that precedence progress is more like throwing
last years "Velveteen Rabbit" in the trash to make room for the new one.
We are all of value. Our community on East 20th and the directly connected area is of
t The atmosphere of small acreages and quiet country friendships is part of what community
Va�iie. atmosphere "b" Y J community
is about. It is diverse in age, income, ethnic background, vocation and space. The community is
caring and integrated. It has been here growing and sharing for many years. New members are just
as important as old...and old just as important as new. Shouldn't city planning consider such an
example as valuable? Communities should have a working relationship with developers, rather
than having development happen to them. It does feel invasive. It is frightening.
My husband and I bought our house 20 years ago. It was built in 1905, truly a homestead
house. The trees around our house were established then as well. The farmer had no thought of
subdivisions at the time. We have revived a wonderful piece of Grr/. heritage. Our house is our
home, it has memories and feelings in its walls.. Imagine waking up to find the front yard gone,
the wise old trees and all the life they hold cut down with a road full of traffic in its place. Imagine
all of this happening without choice. I know this has happened to people, is happening to people,
but is it right action? Is it reasonable and orderly city growth? Is it really legal?
The proposed annexation does not seem to be thoughtful, orderly or reasonable. The
annexation is questionable legally. The annexation does not take into account diversity and
compatibility with present residents. The annexation does not take the present residents into
account.
Sincerely,
Shirley Smithson Nash

I am writing this letter in response of the proposed annexation of 20th street or the Cherrywood
annexation project.
We have recently moved to this area,not even a year ago. We moved to Cherry Ave. because of the
rural setting the east had to offer. We paid the higher price for a home on a small acreage because
we love living in the rural areas.
I feel that this is an illegal annexation and that Cherrywood is not a compatible project for this area.
Annexation would bring increased noise,traffic, and decreased safety that our family enjoys in this
area. We enjoy country atmosphere,close community friendships and support systems in a quiet and
safe environment. We have a wonderful community out here. There is no reason to bring the city
into our community.
My other concern, being a mother of 3 school age children, is the over crowding that this project
will cause for East Memorial. I attend the monthly meetings at this school and know the problems
we,as parents and teachers,are faced with,with just Balsam going in. East Memorial is only 45
students shy of being over crowded now. What will happen with over 300 more homes in this area?
This whole community out here is agriculture, small acreages with animal and farming activities.
Cherrywood would not be compatible with our community and surrounding area.
Sincerely, 4

My name is A.Gordon Brenckle. My address is 933 E. 20th St, Greeley, CO.
We have 12 1 acres of land. I have live in this house since 1944. 100-
year-old cottonwood trees surround our house. There is a row of these
trees along the front of the property. There is also an irrigation ditch along
the front. The tree are home to many varieties of birds that nest in them,
including screech owls, goldfinches, downy woodpeckers, and many others.
The high-density subdivisions that surround East Memorial School are
changing the area from small acreage's to houses with no room for even a
pen of rabbits.
If the Cherrywood subdivision is annexed it will cause a great increase in
traffic on East 20th St. and many result in widening it. This would result in
destroying many of our old trees, and destroy the wild life that lives in
them. It would also destroy our irrigation system and take much of the
shade from the south side of the yard. I would like to see the present
country atmosphere preserved.
The people who live in this area are here because they wanted to get away
from mass population living. The rural setting gives them the quieter life
where they can have some livestock and a garden on acreage.
There is already enough of the lower income housing between 1st Ave and
Cherry Ave, including trailer parks, low cost housing, migrant housing and
low income apartments.
Please do not destroy our country atmosphere by adding more high-
density housing projects. Future developments in this area should be
acreage's that conform to the country atmosphere.

Dear Mr . Wones :
We are homeowners on Bluebell Avenue and we strongly oppose
the proposed annexation of the property on Cherry Street for
the following reasons :
1 . The proposed high-density , affordable housing development
is in no way compatible with the existing community .
2 . The legality of this annexation by creative engineering
is highly suspect .
We were born and raised in Weld County and upon retirement , we
searched long and hard to find an acreage in the county where
we could pursue our interest in gardening, bee keeping and honey
production, raising game birds (some for sale and some are re-
Leased in open space in Weld County , and to be near my 93-year
old mother who is in a nursing home in Greeley .
I find it increasingly difficult to contain my anger and frus-
tration over the fact that a handful of people who don ' t live
in this area have the power by the simple stroke of a pen to
forever alter a community with diverse interest by increasing
the traffic on 20th Street a hundredfold, by obviously impact-
ing East Elementary School , the only elementary school in this
area , and forever destroying a way of life for an entire com-
munity .
Historically East Greeley has been small acreages and is the
only area of its kind still in existence , an area which deserves
to be preserved for this generation and generations to come.
Before approving the proposed annexation, please carefully con-
sider the adverse impact it will have on cur neighborhood for
the financial gain of one developer.
Sincerely
Dorothy and Harold Dill

Memo
To: Mayor Jerry Wones
From: Weld County Clerk to the Board Office
Date: February 28. 2000
Subject: Proposed Cherrywood Annexation
With regards to a letter sent to you on February 22, 2000, here are additional letters of concern
received by our office.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
MY NAME IS NANCY STITT. My husband,Ron and I own a home at 1223 East 20th St.We have
lived at this address for 11 years. We purchased the home because it was out of town and in a
smaller community. Like myself and my husband,I am sure the same is to be said for other
neighbors.
The proposal to build a housing development nearby would mean the end of that small community.
They are proposing to come down E20th St,which is ludicrous to say the least,we are all going to
lose our front yards,for what,so we can have a new housing development? We like most of our
neighbors are in the age group that we plan on staying in our present homes,why is it someone can
come in,tear up our yards,disturb the whole area? What rights as homeowners do we have? If we
wanted high volume traffic,crowded neighborhoods we would have chose to live elsewhere. Has
anyone stopped to realize the value of our homes are going to decrease,or does anyone care?I am
curious as to finding the need for this housing development,you can drive down East 20th St now and
see housing developments that have vacancies with weeds growing half as high as the houses,what is
the need to build more?
Aside from the stated reasons above you must look at the issue of education.East Memorial school is
already overcrowded and adding another development would make this problem larger,I would
hope that someone would stop to take that into consideration. At what profit do you make a decision
to impact education, property values,lifestyles,noise and pollution?
It is very important to us as a community to be able to remain small,and close knit with open spaces
surrounding us,and to retain a quiet and safe community for generations to come. Why is it the
families living on E20th St should pay the price for new housing that doesn't seem necessary?

Weld County Commissioners, George Baxter Chairman,
I am asking you to consider our concerns on the Chenywood annexation. Apparently the "creative
surveying"is legal, but I oppose this type of surveying to accomplish the developers goal.
The residents have enjoyed a life style conducive to country living, agricultural and small acreages.
The residents and families at this time can ride bikes, walk, ride horses, have their 4-H projects, and
enjoy our present life style.This will end if this development is approved.
Our area is overweighted with"affordable housing"and there is still acres to be developed. The Miller
Farm, the land on 24th St. to Cherry Ave. (modulars), Balsam Village 2n° addition - 30 acres and 10
acres east of the Meadow mobile home park. We have 425 mobile homes from 20th St. to 24th St.,
migrant housing, low income, Delta apartments and etc. We have the School District 6 school buses
in this area and it was indicated they moved because of air pollution in the City of Greeley.
My understanding is when the airport is completed the planes will be flying over Fern Ave. either
coming in or taking off. This is another negative for our area.
During the informational meeting a question was asked concerning over-crowding of the school. The
answer was"this is not the issue and the school district would need to address this". I disagree with this
statement, as everyone should be concerned on this issue.
To sum up my objections, it will be difficult to live with 300 plus homes and the mini-mart being
proposed. I hope you will consider what this annexation will do to our current residents, many who
have lived here for many, many years. You are also aware of the overwhelming opposition to this.
Please look at the entire situation before allowing this annexation to occur.
Sincerely,
Lola Richardson

Re: Balsam Village Second Annexation and the Cherrywood Annexation
We are writing to express our concerns about the above-named annexations.
We have tried to objectively analyze all the ramifications of these annexations
and we respectfully ask that you take into consideration the following:
1. We have lived at 1125 E. 20th Street since 1986 and we received
absolutely no notification of these proposed annexations. It is our
understanding that the developer is required to provide the City with a list
of property owners and the City then notifies us of pending development
issues. We asked to see the developer's list and our names were not on
the list.
2. This past fall we also purchased 1121 and 1123 E. 20th Street and, again,
received no notification of any pending annexations at either of those
addresses.
3. We are basically 'farm kids' and we purchased our home because of the
quiet, 'rural' setting.
4. The Balsam Village Second Annexation seems logical and definitely
borders the Greeley City Limits and we have no problem with that
annexation, although it would have been nice to have been notified prior to
the development of that area
5. We are hard-pressed to understand how the Cherrywood Annexation
could fit into our 'rural' neighborhood.
6. We are also hard-pressed to understand how the Cherrywood boundaries
could be considered 'contiguous' to the Greeley city limits.
7. We question how using 20 Street to make Cherrywood 'contiguous' will
affect our front yard and our quiet neighborhood. Is that even legal??
8. We are very concerned about the increase in traffic on East 20"' Street
that would surely result if Cherrywood were annexed as the developer has
proposed with 282 dwellings. If the average home has 2.5 residents that
results in an influx of 705 people onto about 100 acres!
9. East 20th Street is a narrow two-lane street that is not suitable for the
volume of traffic the Cherrywood annexation would likely generate.
10. We would not be opposed to the development if single family dwellings on
2 or 3 acre sites were proposed.
11. We see in the developer's plan lots of houses and very little green space.
Areas for parks and schools should be high priorities.
12. Linn Grove Cemetery could also be adversely affected by increased area
traffic. We would hope that Linn Grove never becomes the nightmare that
Sunset Memorial Gardens has become. We recently went to a funeral at
FEB 17 '00 09:42AM WELD COUNTY DIST 6 P.2/2
Sunset and the noise from traffic zooming by made it impossible to hear
most of the minister's words. Not very comforting for grieving families.
We hear all over the state about careful planning for growth and we realize that
growth will eventually come our way but we respectfully ask you to study this
proposed annexation and plan carefully to preserve the established nature of our
neighborhood.
Sincerely,
,g111
