How is the proposed rezoning consistent with the policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan? The proposed subdivision preserves prime farmland for agricultural purposes, enhances the highest level of agricultural productivity and allows the continuation of the "right to farm". Although the property is considered "Prime" farmground, the proposed 12 acres in the center is consumed primarily by a dry pond and grazing pasture. The remaining 20 irrigated acres to the south is currently planted in alfalfa and grass hay and will remain farmground. Therefore, the proposed subdivision satisfies Goal 1 , Goal 4 and Policy 7 of the Comprehensive Plan. Furthermore, the subject site is not located within a municipality's comprehensive plan area, urban growth boundary area, or 4-25 Mixed Use Development area. Urban scale development is not being proposed. The Town of Erie has indicated that the proposed subdivision does conform to their long-range plans for the area. 2. How will the uses allowed by the proposed rezoning be compatible with the surrounding land uses? The existing surrounding land includes a blend of agricultural and residential uses. These parcels range in size from 5 to 32 acres with the largest of these parcels being the subject parcel. The smaller parcels are currently being used in several ways ranging from horse property to dry lots. The larger parcels are being used as farmground to raise hay. The proposed subdivision of 12, 12, and 20 acre sites is compatible with the surrounding area in lot size. These parcels will be used as hayground and horse properties which is consistent with surrounding land uses. The following is a description of land uses for all properties • adjacent to the subject property: • • 4540 WCR 5:single family housing-horse property, irrigated hayground • 4143 WCR 7:single family housing, pond, livestock grazing • 2701 WCR 10:single family housing, horse property, irrigated hayground • 2421 WCR 10:single family housing, horse property, irrigated hayground • 2596 WCR 10: single family housing, 5 acre dry land parcel • 2526 WCR 10: single family housing, 5 acre dry land parcel 3. Will the property use a septic system or public sewer facilities? Septic system. 4. Who will provide adequate water, including fire protection, to the property? Water will be provided by Left Hand Water. (see attachment A) Fire protection will be provided by Mountain View Fire Protection District. (see attachment B) 5. Does the property have soil with moderate or severe limitations for construction? No. (see attachment C) 6. Is the road providing access to the properties adequate to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district? Yes. 7. Is there sand, gravel or other mineral resource on or under the subject property? No. 8. Is the change of zone area located in a Flood Hazard Overlay District? No. 9. Is the change of zone area located in a Geologic Hazard Overlay District? Yes. 10. Is the change of zone area located in a Airport Overlay • District? No. F , LEFT HAND WATER DISTRICT MEMORANDUM TO: Shawn Petersburg \\ A � 1_„ frk Au c/o Cameron A. Grant /� � Grant & Grant, LLP P.O. Box 908 Longmont, CO 80502-0908 FROM: Kathryn A.

The project is within the boundaries of the Fire District and will receive service from the District. The Fire District bas no objections to the project, if the requirements of the District can be met. Based on my review I have the following comments: 1. The minimum fire flow for a residential subdivision is 1,000 gallons per minute at 20 pounds per square inch. This is sufficient for a residence up to 3,600 square feet, total floor area, not finished floor area. Larger residences built on any of the lots in the subdivision will require higher fire flows. If the required fire flow is not available to any of the proposed residences, then the residence will need to have a residential fire sprinkler system installed. Provide a letter from the Left Hand Water District that the required fire flow is available at the subdivision. (Fire Protection Development Standards Section 5.02-1) 2. Install a new fire hydrant near the drive providing access to Lots 4 and 5. The existing fire hydrant located east of the minor subdivision is too far away from Lots 4 and 5 to provide service to those lots. Coordinate the exact location of the hydrant with the Fire District. (Fire Protection Development Standards) 3. Provide address signs for all of the residences in the subdivision at the intersection of the access road for that residence with WCR 10.

The submitted plat only shows the 20 foot width carried to the residence to be built on Lot 4. The full width must be carried to the residence to be built on Lot 5. The end of the drive at the residence to be built on Lot 5 must be looped or provided with a turn-around meeting the standards of the Fire District.

Edward Glassgow, IV, P.E. • William H. Mitzelfeld, P.E. July 5, 1998 " tRGhm± C " Grant*Grant, LLP - - Colorado National Bank Building 436 Coffman Street, Suite 200 P. O. Box 908 Longmont, Colorado 80502-0908 Attn: Mr. Cameron Grant Project: 98492 Dear Mr. Grant: At your request, Ed Glassgow of Scott, Cox Sr Associates, Inc., has conducted a site visit and has completed geologic research to allow us to address the overall geology of the proposed Petersberg Subdivision, northeast of Erie in Weld County, Colorado. A vicinity map (Figure 1) and a location map (Figure 2), showing the location of the site, are attached to this report. The available geologic mapping shows the site to have a mantle of surficial soils of Quaternary age (relatively recent) which are eolian (wind deposited). These surficial soils (which we anticipate to be 5 to 20 feet thick, from investigations that we have completed in the area) are shown to be underlain by units of the Laramie Formation. The Laramie Formation is of Cretaceous age and is the geologic unit that contains the coal deposits, which were widely mined in Boulder and Weld Counties. The Laramie Formation consists of claystone, sandstone, sili:stone, carbonaceous shale and coal. While the Laramie Formation is not as infamous in reputation as the Pierre Shale, as the source of the bentonitic, expansive soils problems that have caused tremendous damage to structures along the Front Range, there are some area of extremely expansive claystones that have been identified within this unit. From a pure geologic standpoint, the site is considered to be stable. While there may be faults in the bedrock, they are associated with the Laramide age mountain building process and have not been active for millions of years. FILE 1530 55th Street • Boulder,Colorado 80303 • (303)444.3051 • fax: (303)444.3387 Project 98492 Page 2 The geological literature does not relate the potential for any mineral deposits that are currently of economic significance other than gas and oil. The available coal mining studies suggest that all coal has been mined from beneath this property. However, even if some coal still remains, it is doubtful that a combination of circumstances would ever allow further mining, with plentiful, shallow and cheap coal nearby in Wyoming. The some geologic concern on this site is the potential for building related problems due to the presence of the potentially expansive claystone within the Laramie Formation and possible daughter soils related to weathering of the claystone. Following are the possible building related concerns... 1. The Laramie Formation bedrock and any clay daughter soils that result from direct weathering of the claystone may have significant expansive potential. There are well known engineering and building techniques that will assure that the structures on this site perform satisfactorily. It is possible, even probable, that the structures will have to be founded on drilled piers. It is possible that the residences will require structural floor systems. The necessary precautions may be very location specific and may related directly to the type and thickness of the mantle of soil atop the bedrock, the depth of excavation and the engineering properties of the bedrock units encountered at the location. It is very important that sufficient geotechnical investigation be completed to define the location specific soils conditions. This will allow the appropriate foundation type and slab/structural floor recommendation to be made. 2. We would anticipate that percolation rates on this site may be widely variable, ranging from very good, where the mantle of eolian soils are present, to very poor,where daughter soils or bedrock units are present. It is unlikely that the site soils and geologic conditions will not allow a septic system to be constructed. There are many septic system design and construction techniques that will allow the satisfactory design, construction and use of a septic system. Of greater geologic concern is the fact that the entire property is shown to have been completely undermined by previous coal mining activities. Attached to this letter is an illustration which details the risk associated with the study area • (Figure 3). • ' Project 98492 Page 3 This illustration shows the subsidence potential at this site as assigned based on a study conducted by Amuedo and Ivy for the Colorado Geological Survey in 1975 ("Ground Subsidence and Land-Use Considerations Over Coal Mines in the Boulder-Weld County Coal Field"). For the purposes of the Amuedo and Ivy study, criterions were developed to classify the subsidence potential. The potential was assigned based on the extent of mining, the depth of cover to the mined coal unit and the depth of the mined coal unit. Historically, these classifications have proven to be relatively conservative. This study assigns the entire site the same risk potential, High. A high subsidence potential means that there is a high potential for sudden and potentially damaging ground subsidence. In summary, the site geology is relatively simple, consisting of a mantle of wind deposited soil, atop relatively shallow bedrock units. Our research has revealed potential subsidence from coal mining as being the major concern. There is some additional concern related to the potential expansivity and low permeability of some of the bedrock units and the daughter soils from the weathering of these rock units. However, these problems are widespread along the front-range and there are engineering and construction solutions that can allow the satisfactory construction of buildings and septic systems under these geologic and soils conditions. Thank you for consulting with us.
