Dear Jim:
Weld County Public Works Department is recommending the Beebe Draw Farms PUD he
continued indefinitely for the following reasons;
1. The final plat drainage study was incomplete (Sections 7.2.8 and 10.12). The pries
are not labeled on the plans as requested from the last submittal.
2. The subdivision road plans were not submitted (Section 7.2.9). Various grade
changes were requested that may effect the drainage.
I am writing this letter to document our conversation with Aaron Thompson, in which I
attempted to explain my reasons for requesting this continuance. As I stated on the phone I wi.l
review the plans as quickly as possible when they are submitted.
If you have any questions please call meat 970-356-400 extension 3788.
Sincerely,

_-,provements to the subdivision are completed and allow an acceptable location to pick up and return resident
students to the site and a safe place to turn a 78-passenger school bus around. We would request tha: there be
collection points in the subdivision as completed. We have identified the stop for the First Filing as the (iut Lo I
headquarters, located adjacent to the entrance to Badminton Road North. Before planning for full development of
the site is approved, more discussion regarding school bus access and collection points, with kiosks io prt tect
students from the elements, must occur.
Thank you for the continuing discussion on the site. Thoughtful planning is important, as a large subdivision
impacts the infrastructure that serves it.

COLORADO CASE NO.: S525 NAME: Beebe Draw Farms/Jim Fell
The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment has received a response from the
applicant regarding comments and recommendations made on March 14, 2000.
Phase I of the development was approved without requirements for primary and secondary septic
system envelopes and the protection and/or preservation of those envelopes for future use. However
these requirements have evolved due to issues with lack of available area for installation of second
absorption fields on property with systems that have failed.
Although the Department does not oppose the approval of the development, there are strorg concerns
regarding future adequate sewage disposal. The Department's intention is to assure adequate area is
available for replacement fields as they become necessary. Comments pertaining to septic: systems
for the clubhouse, dockmaster, picnic shelter, and equestrian center and stormwater management at
the equestrian center are listed as a matter of notification for the owner as anticipated deve opment
requirements. The owner must meet all requirements at the time each amenity is constructed.
Therefore, the Department recommends that the request be approved with the following conditions.
1. Primary and secondary septic system envelopes shall be recorded on the plat. Primary arc
secondary septic system envelopes shall be designated on the plot plan at the time of building
permit application. Each envelope must meet minimum current setbacks as specified n the Weld
County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations.
2. Language for the preservation and/or protection of the second absorption field envelope shall be
recorded on the plat.
3. The clubhouse and dockmaster septic system envelopes shall be a minimum of 200 feet from
Milton Reservoir.
4. The picnic shelter area shall provide, at a minimum permanent, vaulted restroom facilities. A vaur
facility similar to a rest area or park service facility is recommended. Permanent resl:ro pm
facilities, with septic tank and absorption field are required for public use at the stable
5. A Weld County Septic Permit is required for each proposed septic system and shall be installed
according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations. Each septic
system shall be designed for site-specific conditions, including but not limited to maxim Jm
seasonal high groundwater, poor soils, and shallow bedrock.
6. The Right to Farm covenant shall be recorded on the plat.

FROM: Pam Smith, W.C. Health Department
COLORADO CASE NO.: S525 NAME: Beebe Draw Farms/Jim Fell
The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. As you are aware this case began
in the 1980's and was partially reviewed and approved at that time. It is the Department's
understanding that the general lot sizes and overall densities were dictated and approved during that
process. Therefore, our referral comments will not address these issues. As a result, the
Department's comments will attempt to address all other environmentally related issues sealing with
the development of the property.
On Sheet la and lb of the Amenity Plan there is an Environmental Buffer Zone and an Env ronmental
Building Setback Zone between the eastern lots and the Platte Valley Canal. The Department ft
concerned with the intent of the Environmental Building Setback Zone and whether septic: s rsterrm
construction will be allowed within that boundary. If there will not be any septic system placement
within that Environmental Building Setback Zone many of those lots will have difficulty placing a home
and septic system(s) on the available area. The Department requests clarification on the i itencied
use of the Environmental Building Setback Zone.
Because of the remoteness of the amenities and citing Section 3.1 below, restroom facilities are
required at the picnic shelter area and the stable area. Section 3.1 of the Weld County Individua
Sewage Disposal System Regulations states, in part:
"General Sanitation Requirements: The owner of any structure where people live, work, or
congregate shall insure that the structure contains an adequate, convenient, sanitary toilet and
sewage disposal system in good working order. Under no condition shall sewage or effluent be
permitted to be discharged upon the surface of the ground,...."
The distance between the picnic shelter area and the nearest public restroom (either the dockmaster o
the clubhouse) is approximately 2000 feet according to the provided scale. The proposed k'caticn of
the stable is near the equestrian manager (private residence?). I have proposed conditions to a idres
these items.
The following comments are recommended to be a part of any approval:
1 Primary and secondary septic system envelopes shall be designated on each lot. Ea& envelope
must meet minimum current setbacks as specified in the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposer
System Regulations.
2. The clubhouse and dockrnaster septic system envelopes shall be a minimum of 200 feet from
Milton Reservoir.
3. The picnic shelter area shall provide, at a minimum permanent, vaupslire.11citi��r.,A vain
facility similar to a rest area or park service facility is recommended. Vermarillarestroom
facilities, with septic tank and absorption field are required for public use at the stable.

Language for the preservation and/or protection of the second absorption field envelope shall be
placed in the development covenants. The covenants should state that activities such as
landscaping (i.e. planting of trees and shrubs) and construction (i.e. auxiliary structures dirt
mounds, etc.) are expressly prohibited in the designated absorption field site.
5. A Weld County Septic Permit is required for each proposed septic system and shall be nstalled
according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations Each septic.
system shall be designed for site-specific conditions, including but not limited to maximum
seasonal high groundwater, poor soils, and shallow bedrock.

Re: Beebee Draw Farms Filing No. 1 and 2, Final Plat an''I"1e top
CGS Review No. WE-00-0049
Dear Ms. Daniels-Mika:
In response to your request I reviewed the most-recently submitted material on Beebe
Draw Farms. Included in the referral were a Geotechnical Investigation Report prepared
by Horizon Construction Services (May 2000) and a Phase III Drainage Report prepared
by Milestone Engineering (November 1999). This is the first time CGS has received the
geotechnical report. The drainage report was submitted previously but without any maps.
1) Drainage. The drainage report mentions that water retention is planned for the site
because storm runoff is not permitted to reach the Platte Valley Canal or Milton
Reservoir. There should be some discussion as to how the historic volume of runoffwill
be returned to the system. The construction plans for the ponds are not discussed,
specifically, whether the ponds will be lined or not. Also, the maps accompanying the
report should indicate with arrows the routing of storm water to the ponds.
2) Soil. The Hoi izon report does a good job of characterizing the subsurface soil,
identifying problems and providing recommendations. The chief constraints of the soil,
which appears to he fairly uniform across the site, are low bearing capacity and extremely
fast percolation rates. These concerns can be addressed by adjusting loads and sizing
footings appropriately, and installing engineered leach fields, all of which are discussed
in the geotechnical report; the recommendations should be followed.
Selected soil samples show the potential for volume change, either for swell or collapse.
In addition to foundation mitigation for these types of soils, either through
overexcavation or by wetting and compacting collapsing soils, management of subsurface
water is critical. Subsurface drains should be included in the foundation design, and
grading around structures should effect a positive slope so that water does not pond
These points are raised in the Horizon report.

3) Erosion. One area that was given little attention was erosion control. One sentence is
provided in the geotechnical report, and the erosion.control plan included in the drainage
report consists of illustrations of how to construct a straw bale and place riprap. While
this is important, the fundamental problem has not been addressed. The Soil Survey of
Weld County states that the soils are very susceptible to blowing. CGS experience witl
sandy soils in other areas has shown that such soils tend to sheet flow during periods of
heavy precipitation, and erosion features such as channeling and gullying are very
common. With this in mind, I recommend that the site be closely evaluated by the
National Resource Conservation Service, if there are no county personnel assigned to
administer erosion issues.
Some basic erosion control practices would include phasing earthwork activities so that a
minimal amount of ground is exposed at one time, constructing temporary sedimentation
ponds for exposed areas greater than 5 acres, and establishing a maintenance program In
all practices. For example, silt fences are generally installed and then allowed to
deteriorate and flap uselessly in the wind.
Water conveyance in unlined ditches is likely to create situations where the ditches are
breached or widened. This can cause deterioration to lots and to pavement substrate,
particularly if high-velocity flows are transmitted. The use of storm sewers should he
seriously considered.
4) Environmental Buffer Zone. In the response to comments the applicant states that the
environmental buffer zones only prohibit structures and do not affect placement of septic
systems. If this is the case, the restrictions need to be reevaluated for future projects. a
septic systems may impact sensitive zones as much as structures.
In summary, erosion control should be discussed in more detail. Also, there are basic
questions that need to be answered involving drainage. It seems quite late in the plattir g
process to be raising these issues, but this is the first time that the geotechnical report aid
drainage maps have been sent to CGS. Please call me if there are any questions.

Dear Ms. Daniels-Mika:
The submittal material for the final plat contains no data that was not included in the preliminary
plat referral. My letter of May 25, 1999 states the data deficiencies at the preliminary plat stage.
A Phase III Drainage Report prepared by Milestone Engineering (November 1999) was available
for review.
The final plat material is missing the following:
• Plat. There is no topographic base for the plat.
• Drainage Report. There are no plan drawings of the drainage basins that are discussed in the
drainage report: therefore it is not possible to know where flows are directed.
The Drainage Report discusses retention facilities. There should be some mention in the
report as to why retention facilities will be used as opposed to detention facilities.
The plat does not show locations of the retention facilities. These should be indicated.
• Erosion. No erosion control plan was submitted. The soils are composed chiefly of Valent
and Vona soils with minor Olney soils. Each of these soil types is erodible and subject to ;oil
blowing and water erosion. As such, construction should be phased so that overlot grading is
minimized. Sediment basins should be established for construction areas greater than 5 acres,
the size where silt fences and straw bales become ineffective. Drainage that is routed to
roadside ditches will soon cut channels, causing runoff and sediment to fill individual lots
Ditches should be lined with appropriately sized riprap to minimize erosion.
• Septic systems. The Weld County Soil Survey states that Valent, Vona and Olney soils are
very permeable and in many places, the sandy material does not adequately filter the leachate.
In some cases it may be necessary in absorption fields to combine the native soil with a
graded sand mix to slow percolation and aid in filtration. Because no subsurface inforniati m
was provided on the property, the depth to groundwater is unknown. But Beebe Draw is a
paleochannel of the South Platte, and as a consequence, groundwater may be expected to lie
fairly shallow. With the development of 800+homes on septic systems there is the likelihood
of groundwater contamination, failure of leach fields, and of effluent surfacing in undesirable
locations, such as basements. Also, if open space is to be used as a backup area for leach
fields,it should be made clear that such areas are restricted from recreational use.
Beebe Draw Farms Filing 2,Final Plat, p.2
The above issues should be addressed and the essential information should be supplied
(topographic base; drainage maps; erosion control plan)before approval of the final plat. Please
call me if there are any questions.
