CASE NUMBER: MF-547 APPLICANT: Olando Ltd. Liability PLANNER: Sheri Lockman LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot B of RE-2016; being part of the SE4 of Section 16, T6N, R64W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado.

The utilities will be provided by Atmos, Qwest, and propane. Don Carroll asked about the different easements that are called out as a 25 foot Oil &Gas easement and a 20 foot utility and drainage easement that seem to be located on top of each other. This is located in Lot one. Mr. Posselt stated it looks like an exclusive oil &gas and then a 12 %foot utility/drainage separate to the west. Mr. Somer indicated there can be an easement on top of another easement; it depends on the room needed for the utilities. Mr. Somer stated an easement can be purchased from the land owner but that utility cannot go into another easement because it is exclusive. Discussion on the easements, including exclusive easements and the functions of them, where it would be noted on the plat and how it would be recorded. The discussion included several different Lots on this proposal and those Lots do not have adequate easements including the entrance. 2005-2485 Sheri Lockman added there are future drill sites that will require additional easements. Don Posselt asked how the easements were to be recorded. Ms. Lockman stated it would be dedicated on the plat. Ms. Lockman added there was no information included in the title work for the 25 foot oil and gas easements. Ms. Lockman added that the 20 foot easement would be located on the top of another easement once this plat was recorded. Don Carroll stated that the 12 '/feet is a dimension. Mr. Somer added that the easements are called out as easements. Mr. Carroll stated there are easements adjacent to Owl Creek Lane that can be utilized. Don Carroll asked if there were adjacent property owners to outLot A. Ms. Lockman stated they were different owners. Mr. Carroll asked for clarification on OutLot A rather it is open space. Ms. Lockman stated it will be open space with the mailboxes, bus pickup and sign. Mr. Carroll added that an option could be to go around OutLot A and box around it with easements. Robert Fleck stated there is only one entrance with no secondary access. Mr. Carroll stated the fire departments may ask for a secondary access but there is no location to access too. Mr. Carroll added that if it is paved it could be a problem for utilities, it is suggested that an additional 15 foot be asked for around L15 & L16 to gain access to Hwy 392. Mr. Somer stated he would like to see the east Lot line on Lot one that abuts Owl Creek Lane be a 20 foot easement since this is the only access. Don Carroll asked if a portion of OutLot A will be paved. Ms. Lockman stated they will be required to pave the pullout. This plat does not show what was approved for at change of zone. Don Carroll clarified the options as being either a 15 foot wide utility easement along the east side of Lot one or going around OutLot A since it will eventually be paved. Don Somer moved to have a 20 foot easement on the east side of Lot one and box around outLot A with the 20 foot. Mr. Somer also moved to have the back Lot lines of Lots 1-4 be a 30 foot easement due to the existing gas line. Joe Boshinski seconded. Motion passed. Kim Ogle asked about the utility and drainage next to Owl Creek since the area is prone to flooding. Mr. Carroll stated that the applicant needs to be aware of this. Mr. Posselt added that there is drainage from Howard Lake that could affect the back portion of these Lots. Mr. Carroll stated there are double easements in Lots 6-8 and this needs to be called out. Ms. Lockman stated that it will be clarified. CASE NUMBER: PF-555 APPLICANT: John Davis, Lyons 66 Pacific, LLC PLANNER: Kim Ogle LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Pt NW4 of Section 26, T3N, R68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado REQUEST: Final Plat for a 15 Lot Commercial/Industrial PUD in the MUD LOCATION: East of and adjacent to 1-25 Frontage Road, and south of and adjacent to State Highway 66 Kim Ogle Department of Planning Services presented PF-555. Services will be provided by Little Thompson, St. Vrain, Public Service, United Power and Mountain View Fire District. Mr. Ogle added that there is a 30 foot easement area on Lot 12 which will accommodate the relocation of the CDOT drainage that comes from the highway along the frontage road to the back of the property to drop into the retention basin which is outLot A. Mr. Ogle added that the frontage road will eventually go away and become a cul de sac which ends on the Rademaker property. Robert Fleck asked if sanitary sewer was on the east side. Mr. Ogle stated that it was located along CR 9 /which is a trunk line main. Don Carroll asked if St. Vrain was close to Hwy 66 and the 1-25 Frontage Road. Mr. Fleck stated that they are close and there has been talk about moving the existing line south to get it out of the road. Mr. Davis indicated the sewer is west of the east property line along entire property. Mr. Fleck suggested the non exclusive exclusive easement of 20 foot be called out and what ever additional easements the utility companies will need. Mr. Carroll asked this easement was on the plat. Mr. Fleck stated it needs to be added. Mr. Davis stated it follows the Lot line. Discussion continued on location of existing St Vrain easement on the east side and any additional easements that may be needed for other utility companies. Mr. Carroll asked if the entire area would be served by St. Vrain. Mr. Davis indicated they would. Mr. Davis asked where the easement was located for St. Vrain. Mr. Fleck stated it was along the east side but he is not sure of the exact location. Mr. Davis stated the tie in is on the 1-25 frontage road. Don Carroll added that there needs to be additional easements paralleling St. Vrains existing easement for other utility services. Mr. Fleck stated they would prefer that no other easement be within 10 foot of theirs when they are running parallel. Mr. Ogle indicated that there is existing easements of 20-25 feet along the east boundary. It seems as though the intent was accomplished. Don Carroll stated the sewer line from St. Vrain needs to be called out if it is exclusive. Mr. Carroll asked for clarification on the lines called out in Lot one. Mr. Ogle stated there is a 15 foot utility easement and a 5 foot landscape easement for a total of 20 feet. Mr. Carroll stated that on Lot one there is a 15 foot utility easement but within the 15 feet there is a sewer line. Mr. Carroll stated there is a 20 foot easement from property line for the St. Vrain easement. Mr. Carroll stated that distance from property line to Lot 17 is 13 %feet. Thus adequate easement area may already be in place. Mr. Ogle asked if there is no need for utilities along the east side of Lot 15 what the reasoning would be for additional easements. Mr. Carroll stated that the property to the east is not developed and it may be needed at that time. Mr. Carroll added there is no perimeter easements for outLot A. Mr. Ogle stated outLot a is a retention basin. Don Somer suggested making the change to Lot 15 and show the St. Vrain easement. Robert Fleck moved to change easement in Lot 15 to make it a 25 foot utility easement and show the existing St.Vrain easement. Don Somer seconded. Motion carried.
