WIEDEMAN FARM ANNEXATION
Criteria for City of Greeley - Eligibility of Annexation.
This application for annexation to the City of Greeley pertains to that parcel of land historically
known as the Wiedeman Farm located in the SW 'Vs of Section 20, 5N, 66W, in Weld County,
Colorado [the Property]. The Property together with all existing real improvements is owned by
Edwien Wiedeman and Gary W. Wiedeman [Owner], and is currently in irrigated agricultural
production.
The Property is situate adjoining the City of Greeley [City] and the Property is within the already
defined growth objectives of the City, (in or nearly adjoining the MSSA, MRESA, and LREGA).
The Property is prime in location,feasibility, and intended use,to be a more obvious candidate
for annexation in recent history; an assessment to be borne out by the following information and
criteria as part of this application.
Contiguous with the City of Greeley. The Property is adjoined by the City of Greeley to the
North East. (see Exhibit 'A' -Vicinity Map and Exhibit'FE-City and Site Location Map)
Interest to the City of Greeley. The Property has interest in common with the City where the
Residential and Commercial uses are contiguous to the City's established development pattern,
to which residents of Greeley have easy access to the future amenities of the property,and where
future owners can easily avail themselves to the neighboring services and amenities of recreation,
health, education,professional services,entertainment,shopping,and dining currently existing in
the City.
Future Urbanization. The Property is currently used for agricultural purposes,however, situate
near HWY 34,the Two Rivers Parkway runs through the West end of the Property,there are
developed suburban areas directly to the North, and near 65th Avenue with developed suburban
areas directly to the East... the Property iione of the most obvious candidates for future
urbanization and annexation as the Property is within the pattern and in the direction of current
urbanization activities in the City.
Feasibility of Integration with the City of Greeley. Main avenues of transportation are
adjoining the Property to which the Property has adequate ingress and egress points satisfactory
to the intended uses of the Property. There currently exist with the Property, owned and
controlled by the Owner, adequate historical water to satisfy the raw water requirements of the
City. Adjoining the Property is adequate City treated water supply, gas, electric, phone; and
C,ATV. There are no topography or ecological features separating the Property from the City.
Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The location and the intended uses of the Property
are consistent with the principles, goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan's
important sections on Land Use, Growth, and Transportation promote the incorporation of the
Property to the City.
Geographical Balance of the City of Greeley Land Use Pattern. The Property is a continuation of
the existing Residential and Commercial uses along the HWY 34 Bypass and 37 Avenue, and is
in, or is very nearly adjoining the MSSA, MRESA, and LREGA plans of the City, there by
filling in the already defined growth objectives of the City and slightly extending the southern
boundary of the City. The City's growth pattern is beginning to appear as a longer and narrow
East/West `strip', where the incorporation of the Property helps `round-out' and give better
geographical balance to the City's southern boundary.
Adequate Services. (see above Feasibility of Integration with the City of Greeley)
Continual and Rational Boundary. (see above Geographical Balance of the City of Greeley Land
Use Pattern)
Accommodation of Future Land Use Requirements. Future population growth of the City
requires land mass. Good planning consistent with the principles, goals, and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan requires such growth to be rational, balanced,and(preferably)contiguous
with the existing boundary and adjoining existing infrastructure and services provided by the
City. Should the City continue to grow to accommodate new Residents as well as the
professional services and amenities of recreation,health,education,entertainment,shopping,
and dining needed to accommodate such growth,then the Property represents a perfect fit.

WIEDEMAN FARM ANNEXATION
NARRATIVE
Introduction. This Narrative is part of the application for annexation to the City of Greeley
which pertains to that parcel of land historically known as the Wiedeman Farm located in the SW
''A of Section 20, 5N, 66W, in Weld County, Colorado [the Property]. The Property together with
all existing real improvements is owned by Edwien Wiedeman and Gary W. Wiedeman [Owner],
and is currently in irrigated agricultural production.
The Property is contiguous to the City of Greeley [City], adjoined by the City to the East(see
Exhibit 'A' - Vicinity Map and Exhibit 'B'-City and Site Location Map) and the Property is
within the already defined growth objectives of the City,(in or adjoining the MSSA, MRESA,
and LREGA). The Property is prime in location,and it can be feasibly integrated into the current
infrastructure of the City. Main avenues of transportation of HWY 34,37 Street, 65th Avenue,
and the new Two Rivers Parkway are near or adjoining the Property to which the Property has
adequate ingress and egress points satisfactory to the intended uses of the Property,and which
incorporate the Property easily within the transportation grid pattern of the City. Adjoining the
Property is adequate City treated water supply, gas,electric,phone,and CATV. There are no
topography or ecological features separating the Property from the City. There currently exist
with the Property,owned and controlled by the Owner,adequate historical water to satisfy the
raw water requirements of the City for the intended uses of the Property.
The Property is within the pattern and in the direction of current urbanization activities in the
City. The Property is currently used for agricultural purposes,however,it borders on 37th Street
and developed suburban areas directly to the North,and it borders 65th Avenue with developed
suburban areas directly to the East. The Property is a quasi continuation of the existing
Residential and Commercial uses along the HWY 34 Bypass by extending those to the Two
Rivers Parkway,thereby filling in and slightly extending the southern boundary of the City. The
City's growth pattern is beginning to appear as a longer and narrow East/West 'strip',where the
incorporation of the Property helps 'round-out' and give better geographical balance to the City's
southern boundary.
The Property has interest in common with the City where the Residential and Commercial uses
are harmonious to the City's established development pattern, to which residents of Greeley have
easy access to the future amenities of the property, and where future owners can easily avail
themselves to the neighboring services and amenities of recreation, health, education,
professional services, entertainment, shopping, and dining opportunities currently existing in the
City. The location and the intended uses of the Property are consistent with the principles,
goals, and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Plan's important sections on Land Use,
Growth, and Transportation easily promote the incorporation of parcels such as the Property into
the City. The Property is consistent with good planning and consistent with the principles, goals,
and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan promotes growth to be
rational, balanced, and(preferably) contiguous with the existing boundary and adjoining existing
infrastructure and services provided by the City. Should the City continue to grow as the
Comprehensive Plan projects, the Property accommodates new Residents as well as the
professional services and amenities of recreation,health, education, entertainment, shopping,
and dining needed by such Residents.
32nd Street quasi-govermental agreement with City of Greeley. There is some mention of an
existing agreement with the City of Greeley that uses an East/West extension of 32nd Street as a
line of demarcation between Greeley to the North and Greeley to the South. This agreement
supposedly ends at 71st Avenue, and then Greeley can annex properties to the South of 32nd
Street. The Property has as its West boundary,the imaginary extention of 71st Avenue. This
application proposes Greeley to exercise its agreement with Evans to change, (at 71st Avenue as
the ending point) and have 37 Street as the dividing point between Greeley and Evans instead of
32nd Street. The result is that the planned residential subdivision on the Property would not end
up with Greeley and Evans addresses and differing ordinances and municipal authority within the
same neighborhood.
Transportation and Circulation. Main avenues of transportation of HWY 34 is near and well as
65th Avenue. 37th Street and the new Two Rivers Parkway are adjoining the Property to which
the Property has adequate ingress and egress points satisfactory to the intended uses of the
Property,and which incorporate the Property easily within the transportation grid pattern of the
City. Further extension of 71st Avenue southerly to meet and border the Property to the East is
not anticipated.
Existing Utilities. There is an existing 8 inch DIP line along 65th Avenue. There is also an
existing North Weld water line along 37 Avenue.There is a Greeley Gas line along the North
portion of 65th Avenue as it adjoins the Meyer Farm Annexation,US West phone lines along
HWY 34 and along 37 Avenue,and Public Service electricity is readily available. Per our
conversation with the City's Water and Sewer Department,the only available sewer is with an
extension of the Hill and Park line up through Ashcroft Draw, approximately three(3)miles
away from the Property. Preliminary conversations with property owners also needing the
extension of the Hill and Park line indicated there is a very good possibility of pooling resources
with the City of Evans to extend the lines and to help recover some cost in the future.
Annexation plans currently planned or underway with the City indicate an interest in the
extension. Hopefully,between the two municipalities and the strong owners needing the
extension, a cooperative venture can be worked out.
Topography and Drainage. The current use of the Property as irrigated farm land has lent itself
to the leveling of irregularities and to the establishing of proper slope for excellent drainage of
the Property into Ashcroft Draw which adjoins or is in close proximity to the Southeast. A
preliminary drainage estimate of a series of two or possibly three (3) storm water retention ponds
with a total estimated surface area of approximately ten acres is anticipated so that the use of
storm sewer tiles is limited and releases into the Ashcroft Draw is limited to historical flows.
Non-Potable Water Supply. Currently, there is some planning and discussion with the City of
Greeley to evaluate the feasibility of the construction and maintenance of a non-potable pond and
irrigation system. The Owner is contemplating the design of the storm water detention to be
increased to retain sufficient quantities to support a series of lawn irrigation systems. Should
such an agreement be reached with the City, the land so irrigated is expected to be incorporated
into the calculation of raw water required by the City and adjusted so that only one-half(1/2) the
normal amount would be required for the quantity of land so irrigated.
Oil and Gas. There currently exist oil and gas wells on the Property, in addition to tank batteries
and stripper plants attached to the wells with underground lines. The Owner intends to begin
communications with the oil and gas companies to purchase the sites and to plug and abandon
the existing wells.
Ecologically Sensitive Land. The Owner is commissioning an environmental review, however,
the total acreage of the Property has been in active farming production for over one hundred
(100)years. Few environmentally sensitive area exist,however,the Property adjoins or is in the
near vicinity of the Ashcroft Draw where wetlands are present and the Owner plans conversation
with the Army Corps of Engineers in order that the future drainage from the Property does not
threaten wetland and environmentally sensitive areas. The Property is not in any known flood
plain or way,and the ultimate drainage plan submitted for future approval of a final plat on the
Property will address such concerns to the satisfaction of the City.
Raw Water. There currently exist with the Property,owned and controlled by the Owner,
adequate and acceptable historical water to satisfy the raw water requirements of the City for the
intended uses of the Property. Upon the future approval of a final plat and development
agreement,the Owner will contribute and transfer to the City such raw water as is necessary and
agreed upon. The Owner is exploring the possibility of a full or partial non-potable irrigation
system and,if such a system is constructed,there is the expectation that those areas serviced by
the non-potable system would credit the Owner with one half(1/2)the raw water normally
required.
Land Zoning and Uses. Customary zoning and the associated uses by right and by special review
are the Owner's anticipated zonings of the Property, and not likely PUD. All residential, and
commercial categories are to be entitled as well as light and medium Industrial. The Owner will
be requesting some such zoning and uses. Approximately twenty(20)to thirty(30)acres of
residential medium to high density is planned by the Owner,and the remaining property is
expected to be low residential density. Current estimates of common areas, green space and open
areas, and storm water retention areas,are expected to be approximately ten percent(10%)of the
overall land design. The approximate expected number of units @ 1.5 students per low density
unit and .5 per high density,number approximately 400 to 500 new school students.
