Be it Resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for: CASE NUMBER: USR-653:84:49 NO 934 NAME: Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. S!Siyj. :GRELLLS. ''✓DLO. ADDRESS: P.O. Box 2349, Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 REQUEST: A Use by Special Review Permit for a recreation facility; horse racing track and associated facilities. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part 6f the SW1, Section 26, and part of the W2, Section 35, all in T3N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: Approximately 2. 75 miles southeast of Mead; south of State Highway 66 and east of I-25 Frontage Road. be recommended unfavorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons: 1. It is the opinion of the Weld County Planning Commission that the applicants have not shown compliance with Section 24.3.1 et seq. of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and that the request be denied for the following reasons: The applicants have failed to demonstrate in the submitted application materials or in oral statements prior to this meeting that the proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and the adopted Future Land-Use Map. The formation of a sanitation district to fulfill the sewer requirement of the recreational facility, commercial, and residential development and new development in the area as proposed in the application materials will change the rural character of the area to an urbanized one. The subject site is located on the Future Land-Use Map in an area that is intended to remain agricultural in nature. (See exhibit 1. ) The existing land uses which surround the Use by Special Review area are as follows: (1) The zone district adjoining the property to the east is agricultural. The land is used for agricultural production. USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 2 (2) The Zone district adjoining the property to the south is agricultural. The land is used for extraction of sand and gravel; (3) The zone district adjoining the property to the west is agricultural. The land is used for agricultural production with I-25 and T-25 frontage road running north and south along the west property line of the subject site; (4) The zone district adjoining the property to the north is agricultural. The land is used for agricultural production. The Surrounding land-uses indicate that agricultural production is occurring around three (3) boundaries of the subject property on prime farmland and extraction of sand and gravel on the fourth boundary. The proposed horse sports center, race track commercial and residential support development with a regional sewer district as described in the application materials is not compatible with the surrounding agricultural land-uses. The proposal is not consistent with the following agricultural policy statements as set forth on pages 48 and 50 of the Weld County -Comprehensive Plan: (1) "Agriculture is considered a valuable resource in Weld County which must be protected from adverse impacts resulting from uncontrolled and undirected business, industrial and residential growth. In order to maintain and promote this important segment of the county's economy, the cultural and human values associated with farm life and the overall benefits of an agricultural environment, any uses other than agricultural will be critically reviewed to insure the proposed development will not adversely impact the agricultural interests of the county and that the development will positively contribute to the overall economy, environment and tax base of the county;" (2) "The expansion and development of agri-business and agriculturally oriented industry will be encouraged, provided these enterprises do not adversely affect the total economy or environment;" (3) In order to promote the agricultural economy and to enhance and maintain the quality of life and environment in Weld County, developments that utilize nonproductive rural land and water surpluses will be encouraged, particularly where productive irrigated farmland can be preserved as agricultural greenbelts and open space;" USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club October 30, 1984 Page 3 (4) "In order to minimize conflicting land uses and minimize the cost of new facilities and services to the taxpayer, industrial, commercial, business, and residential development will be encouraged to located adjacent to the existing 27 incorporated towns and in accordance with the comprehensive plans and stated wishes of each community. The following prime irrigated soil types are identified in the Use by Special Review area and the surrounding farmlands according to maps prepared by the Department of Planning Services and the Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service: (a) Wiley-Colby Complex, 1 to 3 percent slopes; (b) Wiley-Colby Complex, 3 to 5 percent slope; (c) Nunn Clay Loam, 0 to 5 percent slope; (d) Nunn Clay Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes; (e) Weld Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes; and (f) Colby Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes. The subject Use by Special Review Permit proposal has not been located on e site that preserves productive irrigated farmland. The formation of a sewer district that serves commercial and residential support development and would expand beyond the boundaries of the Use by Special -Review Permit area, as explained in the application materials, does not protect Weld County's valuable agricultural resource that is located in this area from the impacts of uncontrolled growth. Given the facts about the properties of the soil on the subject site and the surrounding farmlands as well as the type of uses proposed, it has not been demonstrated that a diligent effort has been made to conserve productive agricultural land in the site selection of the -proposed use and that the proposal is consistent with the intent of the agricultural district in which the use is located. The formation of a sewer district in order to provide adequate sewer service to the proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The sewer district would be located beyond the boundaries of any future town growth area and within areas intended to remain agricultural as shown by the Weld County Future Zand-Use Map. The town of Mead is the closest municipality to the proposed sewer district, approximately two (2) miles from the district. The town of Mead reviewed the submitted application and indicated in its memo dated October 9, 1984, that the request does not comply with its Comprehensive Plan because, "the town's Comprehensive Plan does not extend that far." (See exhibit 6, Mead Comments.) USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 4 The Weld County Sheriff's Office reviewed the submitted application materials and recommended in its memo dated October 22, 1984, that a special law -enforcement taxation district is warranted to meet the law enforcement needs of the proposal. The memo also indicted that the probability of calls for service would have a substantial impact on the Weld County Sheriff's Office (See exhibit 7, Sheriff Department Comments.) The Weld County Finance and Administration Department reviewed the submitted application -materials and indicated in its memo dated October 15, 1984, that the proposal would have significant demand on law enforcement due to the added population to this location and nature of the facility. (See exhibit 8, Finance and Administration Comments.) The uses proposed in the application materials should generate a high number of law enforcement services. -In order that the proposed uses have adequate police protection the affected referral entities have recommended the formation of a Law -Enforcement Authority District. The formation of a law enforcement Authority District would generate a high number of law enforcement services. In order that the proposed uses have adequate police -protection the affect-ed referral -entities have recommended the formation of a Law Enforcement Authority District. (1) "Any development that will create an undue burden on existing public agencies to maintain the existing level of services shall be discouraged;" (2) "Proliferation of service districts shall be opposed while consolidation of existing service districts shall be encouraged when it tends to improve the efficiency and economy of the service;" and (3) "Regionalization of services and facilities shall be opposed if it will lead to growth which is not compatible with the desires of the town involved." The applicants have failed to demonstrate in written materials or oral statements that the uses permitted will be compatible with future development as projected by the Comprehensive Plans of affected municipalities. USR-553:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 5 The siting of approximately six hundred forty-five (645) single and multifamily units of residential development and twenty (20) acres of commercial development as support and in conjunction -with a horse sports center and racetrack is not consistent with the residential and commercial growth policy statements set forth in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The location selected disregards the necessary expansion and extension of urban services such as police protection, fire protection, road maintenance, and sewer systems that the proposal requires. The Comprehensive Plan Policies support and describe the subject site as a location that should remain agricultural because of the presence of prime farmland and the distance of this location from a municipality and municipal services. The application materials describe access to a -major highway, highway interchanges, and proximity to a large _population -base as the -basic criteria for siting the proposal. In determining the site location for the proposal, consideration should have been directed toward the efficiently, economy, and orderly growth of urban services that are required to support the proposed residential and commercial development. In order to accommodate a residential and commercial growth in Weld County, the following residential and commercial growth policy statements have been incorporated into the Weld County Comprehensive Plan: (1) "New residential developments which are closely connected to and served by municipal utilities and -services shall be discouraged;" (2) "Proposals for new residential development adjoining existing municipalities shall be encouraged so long as they conform to the desires of the towns as expressed in their comprehensive plans" (3) "Exiting municipalities are the best and most efficient sources of public goods and services which are necessary to serve new residential developments. Shese -municipalities will be encouraged to improve their ability to serve new developments and will be looked to for service of all mew developments within their corporate area, in annexable areas immediately adjacent to the town and even those areas not immediately available for annexation, but within a reasonable service distance from the municipality;" (4) "Commercial development will not be encouraged in the unincorporated areas of the county unless it can be shown by the developer that the proposed commercial use cannot reasonable be located in an urban area;" USR-6-53:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 6 (6) "Commercial development designed to serve the agricultural base of the county should be located wherever practical within a municipality; however, whenever distance from a municipality makes this an impractical or unprofitable establishment of such commercial service, facilities within easy access to each agricultural area will be encouraged." In summary, the proposed Use by Special Review area is located on prime farmland in the agricultural 'zone district. The character of the surrounding neighborhood is rural and the uses are agricultural production. The location of the subject sits is beyond any municipalities comprehensive planning area. The uses proposed are urban in nature and would require the formation of sanitation and law enforcement authority districts. The Comprehensive Plan Policies support and describe the subject location as a location that should -remain agricultural because of the presence of prime farmland and the distance to this location from a municipality and municipal services. Based upon the foregoing summary, the applicants have not demonstrated, in written materials oral statements to date, that there is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the agricultural neighborhood and the County.

REQUEST: A Use by Special Review Permit for a Recreational Facility Horse Racetrack and associated facilities LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SWZ, Section 26, and part of the W1, Section 35, all in T3N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado LOCATION: Approximately 2.5 miles southeast of Mead; south of State Highway 66 and east of the I-25 Frontage Road Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting October 30, 1184 Page 7 APPEARANCE: John Holm, Chairman, Board of Directors, Colorado Jockey Club, Znc. , represented the applicants. Mr. Holm stated they plan to have a racing season of ninety to one hundred and twenty days. However, they intend for this to be a year around operation with training, showing, breeding, etc. , and not just a seasonal operation. Therefore, this operation will be a constant contribution to the community. They plan to have approximately two thousand horses on this site at all times. They are asking that a sewer district be formed, but they do not intend to start a new municipality, they just wish to be sure their sewage needs ere adequate. They do not intend to start new growth in the area. Also, there are many people who would like to use this facility in lieu of starting-up their own training farms. They will be meeting with the city of Longmont and other local governments in the area in the near future. With one thousand five hundred to two thousand horses on site at all times, the use is primarily an agricultural business, and it is his feeling this proposal is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and the proposal will support agriculture in the area. The Little Thompson Water District has shown an interest in providing water for this plan. The current lines are not large enough and a new line would need to he laid. They are currently working with the water district on these plans. Tape 179 -Side 1 Rose Johnson, President, Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. , reported they expect five to six thousand people per day for each race and they pain to have a six day racing week with both matinee and evening performances. She also explained the duties of the racing commission. Mr. Holm discussed fire prevention plans. He stated they felt a law enforcement-fire department substation could combined. Lee Morrison stated a Law Enforcement Authority District and a Fire District requires -a vote as well as a separate district. -This would be a taxing entity and would provide more law enforcement than would be usual and could be limited only to the Planned Unit Development Area. Reduced copies of the combined fire district and law enforcement authority sectors of the proposed area are on record. Summary Weld County Planning Commission Meeting October 30, 1984 Page 8 The Chairman asked Rod Allison to read the recommendations of the Department of Planning Services staff, which is for denial, into the record. Dennie Hill, Browne, Bortz and Coddington, representing Colorado Jockey Club, review their Fiscal Impact Analysis of this proposal. Tape 179 - Side 1 Don Warden, Director of Finance and Administration, Weld County, reviewed the Fiscal Impact Analysis from the county's point of view. He explained the county's tax base under the Home Rule Charter and the possible fiscal impact, if any, new developments have on the County in future years. The Chairman called for discussion from the audience. Martin Tobias, representing John Vick, Jim and Carmen Penfold, Richard Gilbert, Tom Edwards, Dennis Fountain, and Paul Holland, stated they have no financial interest in this venture. He presented objections to the proposal, and felt Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. , wants to build a new city. Tape 180 — Side 1 Carol Lowe, stated she represents about four hundred people in Weld County who will be on the November 7, 1984, agenda of the Board of County Commissioners to oppose this request. Tom Huddleston, resident of the area, spoke in favor of this request stating: "The comprehensive plan is not engraved in stone. It is a plan that can be changed." Jim Martin and Pat Holder spoke in favor of this request. J. L. Penfold spoke in opposition to this request. Bob Rademacher, surrounding property owner, spoke in support of this proposal. LaVern Nelson, P.E. , representing Robert Seigrest, stated Mr. Seigrest does not oppose this request, but just wants whatever goes into this located to be complimentary to his property, i.e. , dust, insect control, run-off, etc. , and he would like to work with the developers to protect their own investment. Richard Gilbert spoke against this proposal. Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting October 30, 1984 Page 9 Bryan Miller, Office of Planning and Development, City of Longmont, gave the recommendation of the city of Longmont. He reported that if this request were to be approved they would like to work with the Planning staff of Weld County in formulating plans that would be compatible with both the city of Longmont and Weld County. Virgil Stephenson, former Chaplin, Franktown, Centennial Racetrack, felt backstretch workers are just a cross-section of America who choose this occupation as a line of work because they enjoy it. They are not grossly underpaid. He felt a racetrack actually benefits a community. Tape 180 - Side 2 MOTION: Paulette Weaver moved LTSR-653:84 'q for Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. , for a Use by Special Review Permit a Recreational Facility for a horse racetrack and associated facilif s be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial based upon the recommendations of the Department of Planning Services staff and the testimony heard by the Planning Commission today. Motion seconded by Lydia Dunbar. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning Commission. Discussion followed. The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the planning commission for their decision. Sharon Linhart - Yes, she felt they understood the comprehensive plan and, she expected to hear some answers on how they intended to mitigate some of the factors that she finds ::re 4n conflict with the plan, primarily the prime agricultural land being out of production. She wanted to hear they had plans for greenbelt contributions in li-eu of land. She feels they had the resources to do _..� proper research and to come up with some ideas that would have worked. They could have presented a proposal on how they intended to addres sanitation problem, a proposal for how they intended to address the k problems with the Little Thompson Water District, an erosion and sedim control plan, run-off water, and hrw county roads will be improved and no just one little stretch of road th .y will have a direct bearing on. There is going to be an impact on a lot of roads because of the development. She has not heard anything on how they will enhance the County and she has not heard enough to say the Planning Staff was wrong in their decision. Jack Holman - No, because, even if this is a small portion of agricultural land Summary of the Weld County Planning Commission Meeting October 30, 1984 Page 10 the area along I-25 as time goes on will be mostly commercial, and he _does not feel there is anything that we can stop it. This is also a facility that probably cannot be located close to an existing -towns whether it to Longmont or any other small town. The only drawback that he has is the building project on the west side of I-25, but as far as the racing facility is concerned he is voting no on it. Louis Rademacher - Abstain; Bill McMurray - Yes, but he is not against development of commercial use along this strip, but he thinks we have too many unanswered questions with this project at the present time. Stephen Hamilton - No, becaus-e I-25 is developing into a commercial strip situation. Our Comprehensive Plan is going to eventually have to address this. How do you say to a farmer, who is surrounded by commercial property, no, your land is prime agricultural land and you cannot make a _profit on it under the present farming conditions. How can you say to this man that you cannot -sell that land for five thousand dollars an acre. Yet this land is surrounded by commercial land under development -in this direction. Prime agricultural land is irrigated land and it -does produce, but does it produce the revenue that this commercial development can. Paulette Weaver - Yes, because contrary to some reasoning she cannot see why we should add to the problem. She does see that this has a significant land use impact for the County, and she thinks an unknown and very significant financial impact for the County. Doug Graff - No; Lydia Dunbar - Yes, for the same reasons as outlined by Paulette. Bob Ehrlich - No. Motion carried by default with four voting for the motion, four against the motion and one abstaining. Lee Morrison stated the Planning Commission needs a majority to forward a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. A majority is needed to report favorably for the Planning Commission. The motion made is considered by default. The Planning Commission can either issue a statement or a second motion can be made. MOTION: Lydia Dunbar moved the Planning Commission's recommendation be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners as showing a tie vote. Therefore, the Planning Commission is forwarding this case to the Board of County Commissioners with no recommendation. Motion seconded by Stephen Hamilton. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the Planning Commission. Discussion followed. The Chairman asked the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Motion carried unanimously. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. 1.

Rod Allison Current Planner II (itice; MEMORMDUM 11119€ To -Rod Allison, Current Plan -r I Da1BOctober 22, 1-984 COLORADO From Rick Dill, Undersheriff �A Subject: Colorado Jockey Club I was contacted some time ago about this project by Denzel W. Hill of BBC, the firm preparing the fiscal impact analysis. At that time, I provided some preliminary information concerning impacts -on our Agency and -made some suggestions to mitigate impacts to Mr. Hill which are contained in the Fiscal Impact Analysis Report, Section I, page 4 in the paragraph related to law enforcement. Since that interview, I have contacted both the tarimer County Sheriff's Office and Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office to obtain more precise impact data related to the actual track operation. The estimate contained the BBC report and relates almost exclusively to the off-track residential and commercial growth of the development projected through 1995, and is not Inclusive of the seasonal and residual effects of the proposed Taramutual track operation. The -Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office was substantially impacted by the 1984 opening of Arapahoe Park, a paramutual quarter horse racing facility. This facility would appear to most likely mirror a similar impact locally in that no residential or off-track commercial development was included during the initial year of operation. During the racing season, the track hires 3-4 Officers per day on an off-duty basis and also adds about 1.5 calls for service to regular-call load. The added call frequency during the 90 day racing season, using the Arapahoe County experience, would represent an increase of about 5% per month to the Weld _County Sheriff's Office. The 6% increase would be a substantial impact if the calls for service were clustered into other high-service -demand times and days of week. While such data is not available, I would consider the probability of calls clustering within critical demand-periods very high. The Weld County Sheriff's _Office does not have sufficient pool of uncommitted off fluty sworn personnel to fulfill the 3-4 Officers per day that would be required to further mitigate the tracks impact. With other contractual obligations for special police service presently necessary, off-duty resources are simply exhausted. The tarimer County Sheriff's Office experience -with the Cloverleaf Raceway is less ominous than Arapahoe Park. Frequency of calls for service were lower than Arapahoe during the racing season and off-duty personnel were supplied by the s,oveland Police Department in similar ratios. Any similarities with the purposed project and Cloverleaf are very limited in that this facility races -Greyhounds, has a shorter racing season, and is more distant from Denver Metropolitan area. I would stand by my recommendation of a special law enforcement taxation district to meet the needs of residential/commercial development and meet the seasonal impacts of the track or some other method, such as annual contracting to satisfy the demands that will he increasingly placed upon the Sheriff for law enforcement service. CC: Sheriff Andrews Captain Workman RD/kb EXHIBIT 8 +totlipv !j` To Rod Allison, Planning oauOctober 15, 1984 �1 COLORADO From Donald D. Warden, Director of Finance & Administration {f Subject: Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. �b At your request I have reviewed the fiscal impact analysis report submitted by Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. I have only reviewed the report from Weld County government's perspective and not from the school district's or special districts' point of view. The assumptions and limitations (page v) include estimation procedures based upon past budgetary and demographic trends in Weld County. With the changes in governmental budgeting, the federal deficit, state budget problems, government retrenchment, and voters' attitudes on government and taxation, one could question the validity of past budgetary trends in the future. The recent jail study and demographic data developed also would indicate population trends between now and the year 2000 will be different than past demographic trends, especially compared to the last ten years in Weld County. The assumption of a constant rate structure in mill levies was made invalid in 1985 with a $49 million drop in assessed value -forcing a 1.973 mill levy increase. This is the first drop in assessed values in over 30 years. With oil and gas production being one-third of Weld County's assessed value and the uncertainty of the oil market and production levels, I question whether that assumption is valid. Finally, the assumption of a "conservative nature of forecasts" is questioned when one compares Table 2's 1985 budget figures with actual 1985 budget figures. Specifically, total revenue are $46.374 million versus $49.881 million in the report. A major problem with Table 2 is the inclusion of Intergovernmental Services in the total expenditures. Intergovernmental Services are interdepartmental charges between departments, to include them in the total is a double count. A major flaw in Table 2 is the Highway- Users Tax amount and projections. The actual 1985 Highway Users Tax projection is $2,820,049 versus the Table 2 figure of $3,684,000. 1990 projections are $6,089,000 and $8,931,000 for 1995 which are questionable figures. Highway Users Tax allocations are based upon tax collections, miles of road to maintain, and difficulty of maintenance. To project figures of $6,089,000 in 1990, and $8,931,000 in 1995 could only be achieved by significant gas tax increases from the state legislature. It is extremely optimistic to anticipate a doubling of the gas tax in the next five years in Colorado. Other figures for 1985 in Table 2 are not correct, i.e. , property tax. Based upon the above the credibility of the fiscal impact report is questionable. I OF2 . Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 15, 1984 Page two Putting the fiscal impact report aside, I would offer the following comments: The project as described appears to have two major impacts on Weld County. The first impact will be the impact on roads and bridges. The Board should be encouraged to require the developer to fully develop and pay for access roads and roads internal to the project. This could be accommodated by requiring a local improvement district or possibly a special improvement district for roads on a permanent basis. The second area of significant impact will be law enforcement due to the added population and nature of the facility. This project clearly meets the intent of a Law Enforcement Authority (LEA) and should be created as part of the development. The LEA would have its own mill levy to support the law enforcement services required. Finally this project, like all others in Weld County, will not contribute added property tax to Weld County as long as the Home Rule Charter 5% limitation remains with its current status. The added assessed value will only contribute to lowering the property tax mill levy without any appreciated actual property tax revenue to Weld County government. The above comments are directed only at the fiscal impact and are not in any way intended to be pro or con for the project's approval or disapproval as a land use issue. If you have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact me at Ext. 4218. I can also make myself available at any hearings you desire me to attend to discuss the above if needed. DW/ch 0 CT 10 1 '84 ?\, r 19ad Co.

Box 2394, Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 _REQUEST: A Use by Special Review Permit for a recreational facility; horse racing track and associated facilities LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SW1, Section 26, and part of the Wz Section 35, all in T3N, it68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 2.75 miles southeast of Mead; south of State Highway 66 and east of I-25 Frontage Road. 1. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services staff that the -applicants have not shown compliance with Section 24.3.1 et seq. of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and that the request be denied for the following reasons: The applicants have sailed to demonstrate in the submitted applica- tion materials or in oral statements prior to this meeting that the proposal is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and the adopted Future Land-Use Map. the formation of a sanitation district to fulfill the sewer requirement of the recreational facility, commercial, and residential development and new develop- ment in the area as proposed in the application materials will change the rural character of the area to an urbanized one. The subject site is located on the Future Land-Use Map in an area that is intended to remain agricultural in nature. (See exhibit 1.) The existing land uses which surround the Use by Special review area are as follows: (1) The zone district adjoining the property to the east is agricultural. The land is used for agricultural production; (2) The zone district adjoining the property to the south is agricultural. The land is used for extraction of sand and gravel; (3) The zone district adjoining the property to the west is agri- cultural. The land is used for agricultural production with I- 25 and 1-25 frontage road running north and south along the west property line of the subject site; (4) The zone district adjoining the property to the north is agricultural. The land is used for agricultural production. Case Number SJSR-653:84:4'3 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 2 The surrounding land-uses indicate that agricultural production is occurring around three (3) boundaries of the subject property on prime farmland and extraction of sand and gravel on the fourth boundary. The proposed horse sports center, racetrack, commercial and residential support development with a regional sewer district as described in the application materials is not compatible with the surrounding agricultural land uses. The Proposal is not consistent with the :following ollowing agricultural policy statements as set forth on pages -48 and 50 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan: (1) "Agriculture is considered a valuable resource in Weld County which must be protected from adverse impacts resulting from uncontrolled and undirected business, industrial and residen- tial growth. In order to maintain and promote this important segment of the county' s economy, the cultural and human values associated with farm life and the overall benefits of -an agricultural environment, any uses other than agricultural will be critically reviewed to insure the proposed -development will not adversely impact the agricultural interests of the county and that the development will positively contribute to the overall economy, environment and tax base of the county;" (2) "The expansion and development of agri-business and agricul- turally oriented industry will be encouraged, provided these enterprises do not adversely affect the total economy or environment;" (3) "In order to promote the agricultural economy and -to enhance and maintain the quality of life and environment in Weld County, developments that utilize nonproductive rural land and water surpluses will be encouraged, particularly where produc- tive irrigated farmland can be preserved as agricultural greenbelts and open space." (4) "In order to minimize conflicting land uses and minimize the cost of new facilities and services to the taxpayer, industrial, commercial, business, and -residential development will he encouraged to locate adjacent to the existing 27 incorporated towns and in accordance with the -comprehensive plans and stated wishes of each community." Case Number: USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 3 The following prime irrigated sail types are identified in the Use by Special Review Area and the surrounding farmlands according to maps prepared by the Department of Planning Services and the Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service: (a) Wiley-Colby Complex, 1 so 3 percent slopes; (b) Wiley-Colby Complex, 3 to 5 percent slope; (c) Nunn Clay Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes; (d) Nunn Clay Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes; (e) Weld Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes; and (f) Colby Loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes. (See exhibits 2, 3, 4, and 5; description of prime soils.) The subject Use by Special Review Permit proposal has not been located on a site that preserves productive irrigated farmland. She formation of a sewer district that serves commercial and residential support development and would expand beyond the boundaries of the Use by Special Review Permit area, as explained in the application materials, does not protect Weld County'-s valuable agricultural resource that is located in this area from the impacts of uncontrolled growth. Given the facts about the properties of the soil an the subject site and the surrounding farmlands as well as the type of uses proposed, it has not been demonstrated that a diligent effort has been made to conserve productive agricultural land in the site selection of the proposed use and that the -proposal is consistent with the intent of the agricultural district in which the use is located. The formation of a sewer district in order to provide adequate sewer service to the proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive-Plan. She sewer district would be located beyond the boundaries of any future town growth area and within areas intended to remain agricultural as shown by the Weld County Future Land-Use Map. The town of Mead is the closest municipality to the proposed sewer district, approximately two (2) miles from the -district. The town of Mead reviewed the submitted application and indicated in its memo dated October 9, 1984, that the request does not comply with its Comprehensive Plan because, "the town's Comprehensive Plan -does not extend that far." (See exhibit 6, Mead Comments.) The Weld County Sheriff's Office reviewed the submitted application materials and recommendedin its memo dated October 22, 11984, that a special law enforcement taxation -district is warranted to meet the law enforcement needs of the proposal. The memo also indicated that the probability of calls for service would have a substantial impact on the Weld County Bheriff's -Office. (See exhibit 7, Sheriff Department Comments.) Case Number: USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 4 The Weld County Finance and Administration Department reviewed the submitted application materials and indicated in its memo dated October 15, 11984, that the proposal would have significant demand on law enforce- ment due to the added population to this location and nature of the facility. (See exhibit 8, Finance and Administration Comments.) The uses proposed in -the application-materials would generate a high number of law enforcement services. In order that the proposed uses have adequate police protection the affected referral entities have recommended the formation of a law Enforcement Authority District. The _formation of a law Enforcement Authority District and a sewer district at this location is not consistent with the following policy statements set forth on Pages 91 and 92 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan for utilities, public goods, and services: (1) "duty development that will create an undue burden on existing public facilities and will diminish the capacity of -public agencies to maintain the existing level of services shall be discouraged;" (2) "Proliferation of service districts shall be opposed while consolidation of existing service districts shall be encouraged when it tends to improve the efficiency and economy of the service;" and (3) "Regionalization of services and facilities shall be opposed if it will lead to growth which is not compatible with the desires of the towns involved." The applicants have failed to demonstrate in written-materials or oral statements that the uses permitted will be _compatible with future development of the surrounding area as permitted -by the existing zoning and with future development as projected icy the Comprehensive Plans of affected municipalities. The siting of -approximately six hundred forty-five (645) singl-e and multifamily units of residential development and twenty (20) acres of commercial -d-evelopment as support and in conjunction with a horse sports center and racetrack is not consistent with the residential and commercial growth polity statements set forth in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The location -selected disregards the necessary expansion and extension of urban services such as -police protection, fire -protection, road maintenance, and sewer systems that the proposal requires. The Comprehensive Plan Policies support and describe the subject site as a location that should remain agricultural because of the presence of prime farmland and the distance of this location from a municipality and municipal services. Case Number: USR-653:84:49 Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 5 The application materials describe access to a major highway, highway interchanges, and proximity to a large population base as the basic criteria for siting the proposal. In determining the site location for the proposal, consideration should have been directed toward the efficiency, economy, and orderly growth of urban services that are required to support the proposed residential and commercial development. In order to accommodate residential and commercial growth in Weld County, the following residential and commercial growth policy statements have been incorporated into the Weld County Comprehensive Plan: (1) "New residential developments which are not closely connected to and served by municipal utilities and services shall be discouraged;" (2) "Proposals for new residential development adjoining existing municipalities shall be encouraged so long as they conform to the desires of the towns as expressed in their comprehensive plans;" (3) "Existing municipalities are the best and most efficient sources of public goods and services which are necessary to serve new residential developments. These municipalities will be encouraged to improve their ability to serve new development-s and will be looked to for service of all new developments within their corporate areas, in annexable areas immediately adjacent to the town and even those areas not immediately available for annexation, but within a reasonable service distance from the municipality;" (4) "Commercial development will not be encouraged in the unincorp- orated areas of the county unless it can be shown by the developer that the proposed commercial use cannot reasonably be located in an urban area;" (5) "Commercial development designed to serve the agricultrual base of the county should be located wherever practical within a municipality; however, whenever distance from a municipality makes this an impractical or unprofitable establishment of such commercial service, facilities within easy access to each agricultural area will be encouraged." In summary, the proposed Use by Special Review area is located on prime farmland in the agricultural zone district. The character of the surround- ing neighborhood is rural and the uses are agricultural production. The location of the subject site is beyond any municipalities comprehensive planning area. The uses proposed are urban in nature and would require the formation of sanitation and law enforcement authority districts. Case Number: USR-753:84:49 Colorado Jockey CJ.ub, Inc. October 30, 1984 Page 6 The Comprehensive Plan Policies support and describe the subject location as a location that should remain agricultural because of the presence of prime farmland and the distance of this location from a municipality and municipal services. Based upon the foregoing summary, the applicants have not demonstrated, in written materials or oral statements to date, that there is adequate provision for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the agricultural neighborhood and the County.

Swenson Honorable Members of Weld County Manning Commission Honorable Members of Weld County Board of Commissioners c/o Weld County Office of planning Services 915 10th Street Greel-ey, CO 80_631 Dear ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you for referring to us -the applications of the Colorado Jockey Club for a use by special review and a change of zone. The Longmont City Council discussed this at their regularly scheduled meeting of October 23, 1984, and would like to express -the following concerns: 1 . The Weld County Comprehensive Plan designates this area for agricultural use. Although a racetrack is supportive of the agricultural economy of an area, -it is in fact a major, urban-type commercial activity _generator. A race track can be accurately described as a commercial use which utilizes horses as a vehicle for commercial entertainment and Tani-mutual betting activity, without which it could mot exist. This is differentiated from typical agricultural activities such as raising of foodstuffs, crcrp_s and animals on land for the 'purpose of transfer to processing or retail markets elsewhere. The plan also calls for this type of development to occur within or adjacent to existing municipalities. 2. The Mans that were submitted discuss the -creation of a sanitation -district in that area to handle the waste water disposal . We would like to know more about this sanitation district; what are its boundaries -and what will be its capacity? 3. Of the 3000 jobs that are expected at the facility, only 125 will be full- time, year—round positions. The remainder will be generally low paying seasonal jobs. There probably is not a labor pool in the area large enough to fill these positions. Therefore, new workers can be expected to -move into the area. As the closest sizeable community, it can be expected that many of these workers will choose to live in Longmont. This -could create additional demand for low income housing in the community, of which there is currently a shortage. The influx of a large amount of seasonal labor could adversely impact the local labor mark-et. POPI II ATION CITY OWNED WATER and 1970 23,000 ELECTRIC UTILITIES 1980 43,000 MUNICIPAL AIRPORT Honorable Members of Weld County Planning Commission Honorable Members of Weld County Board of Commissioners October 24, 1984 Page 2 4. The City of Longmont will not receive tax revenue for this development. However, it can be expected there will be some additional demand on the public services offered by the City of Longmont, particularly human services, resulting from this development and its workers. Therefore, we expect that this development will have a negative fiscal impact on the City of Longmont. Although there may be some employment opportunities for Longmont residents in support services and construction, it is unlikely that this development will have a positive impact on the overall Longmont economy. Since there will be a hotel and restaurants on the site, it is unlikely that racing fans living on the I-25 corridor will drive into Longmont to use these services. In _addition, it can be expected that a sizeable number of pat- rons will be Longmont residents; the disposable income that they will spend will leave Longmont. We request that the applicants supplement their economic impact analysis to include the impact on surrounding communities, including Longmont. 5. The establishment of a major activity center, such as a racetrack, and the creation of a sanitation district will be a tremendous impetus for the urbanization and development of the I-25 and SH66/119 area. Basically, a City will be created there with its demand for adequate urban services. We urge the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners to evaluate these applications carefully as per the standards set forth in Sections 21 and 24 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. If this project is approved, we would like to work with Weld County in the preparation of a comprehensive plan for that area. Sincerely, 211S- 21,41e/e."14,9 William S. Swenson Mayor, City of Longmont WSS/gl #2050-5 xc Members of Longmont City Council Office of Planning and Development File I 5 PRINCIPAL ISSUES - compatibility with Weld Co. Comprehensive Plan - impact on Weld County - impact on City of Longmont - what will be consequences if the racetrack goes broke? - omissions from and deficiencies of the applications ______________________________________________ (1) IS CJC PROJECT COMPATIBLE WITH WC COMPREHENSIVE -PLAN?] - CJC wants to build what amounts to a new city, on I-25: - a "luxury lakeside housing community" - 50 acres of condominiums - 242 ranchetttes, patio homes on 80 acres - all priced at $125,000 and up - a sports center - olympic-size indoor swimming-pool - racquet ball and tennis courts - 48,000 square feet of retail shops - restaurants and bars - a 200-room hotel-convention center - a 60,000 square-foot hi-tech office center and business-park - 18 acres (PUD Narrative) or 22 acres (Traffic Impact) - a veterinary clinic - a museum - a 200-bed medical center - year-round off-track-betting via satellite - a racetrack with 10,000-spectator stadium - paved parking lots (5,000 cars require 32 acres) Fall in the middle of presently undeveloped farmland. There are at least 10 conflicts between CJC's project and either the intent or the literal wording of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, and the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. ---------------------------------------------- (1.1) WC Comp. plan encourages-agricultural usage - housing, hotels, shops, offices, gambling NOT agricultural activities - CJC has driven up cost of land from $125/acre (1968) to $5,250/acre - (average cost of WC farmland in 1982 was $458/acre - and falling) - by inflating land prices, CJC project will HURT agriculture - using CJC's logic, a tractor-factory is "agricultural" because it encourages ploughing--________________________________ ___________________ (1.2) WC Zoning Ord. lists over 40 activitiesfor 'Use by Special Review" - - J - it does not list gambling - the principal activity of the CJC project would be gambling - $67.2 million turnover for gambling alone, in 1st year 2 (1.3) WC Comp.-Plan encourages growth of existing municipalities — but this project in the middle of undeveloped farmland. JJ (1.4) WC Comp. Plan opposes creation of new communities. ------------------------ — this will be a totally new community — new utilities need to be created (water, sewer) — public transport must be created (1.5) WC Comp. Plan opposes development along I-25 - this project straddles I-25 (1.6) WC Coup. Plan encourages controlled growth / systematic planning -------------------------------- - CJC project will disrupt WC planning by acting as a "foot in the door" - start of development of I-25 corridor - shaky future of racetrack makes later industrial conversion likely - this project will disrupt Longmont planning - traffic - housing - social services - demographics - deter future investment (1.7) WC Comp. Plan encourages "balanced" growth ---------------------------------------------- - where is low and middle-income housing for the workers? - "150 apartments with an anticipated average monthly rent of $400", "150 dormitories" won't meet needs of 2500 backstretch workers and dependants - meanwhile, where will the workers live? - CJC wants to "eliminate widespreade use of mobile homes" - what will CJC do with transient workers who arrive in mobile homes? (1.8) WC Comp. Plan seeks to minimize-impact on nearby communities --_ but-this project WILL impact nearby communities;-esp.-Longmont (1.9) WC Comp. Plan encourages-"greenbelts_" between communities - what will happen to the 5 mile strip between Longmont and CJC project, when Longmont controls one half, and WC controls the other? - will the greenbelt survive? (1.10) dramatic / very rapid shift of economic power-within Weld County ] - 1st-year gambling revenue = 1/4 of WC's TOTAL revenue from other sources - ($13 million versus $48.2 million) - gambling revenue to increase by 66% in 5 years (to about $22 million) - does WC want all this fiscal power in the hands of a gambling organization? 3 IN SUMMARY - WC Comp. Plan seeks to bring economic growth to WC - but CJC's main business will be gambling — wealth is not being created / money just circulates CJC will take $13 million out of economy in 1st year (their figures!) (2) - -WHAT WILL BE THE IMPACT ON WELD COUNTY] — benefits claimed by CJC; (2.1) tax reven-ui] ----------------- - at same time as WC is receiving taxes, CJC will be taking money out of N. Colorado economy - Weld County's future is interlinked with rest of N. Colorado - if we get poorer, this' affects Weld County (2.2)»employment atracetrack ]s - 500 (Narrative) or 125 year-round (Detailed peace)? - but Centennial employed 35 year-round (300 peak) — Arapahoe employs 12-15 year-round (+ 4 for food services) - rising to 250-300 at peak (+ 100 in food services) --------------------------------------- CJC's figures seem to be greatly inflated - at Arapahoe, each horse stabled z employment of one person - 1200 horses j employment for about 1200 in the backstretch - about half of CJC's projection of 2500. again CJC's figures seem to be greatly inflated - majority of backstretch workers are transients - they follow the horses from track to track - some travel with families - "Complete Book of Thoroughbred Horse Racing" (1982) quotes daily expenses ("food, grooms, hot-walkers, exercise boys, trainer's expenses") at $40 per day - $5 - $10 per day for an exercise-boy not unknown at Arapahoe - will this meager employment be of much economic benefit to WC?L(2.3) encourage horse-breeding etc. - the 1982 census says WC possessed 4,464 horses on 771 farms - about 1 horse per 30 WC residents! - more than one horse / sq. mile of WC! - do we need CJC, to encourage horse-breeding in WC? 4 WHAT CJC DOES NOT TELL US ------------------------ (2.4) land prices will skyrocket --------------------- (2.5) main activity, in terms off $ turnover/revenue/profit will be-gambling - not just on local events, but nationwide via satellite - rot just on horse-racing, but on all sports - Economic Feasibility Analysis, prepared by CJC for Co. Racing Commission, 12/83 - based on an average daily attendance of 3,500 - $58.8 million dollars would be gambled in 1st year - (including $12.6 million via satellite) - CJC's latest forecast ("Detailed Description") says; - Average daily attendance forecast of 4,000 - scales up to $67.2 million handle in 1st year - would require that $20.2 million be carried into race-track - (each $1 carried in is "churned" into about $3.33 in bets) -------------- 62- -cents out of every $ kept by the race-track at end of day This translates into $12.5 million out of wallets of public in 1st year - from gambling Add about $1.4 million in admission fees plus concession income - from horse-racing part of operation Y - total out of wallets of public o $13.9 million in 1st year IN sUMNARYR - yes, WC will get some tax revenue - but mostly at the expense of Longmont, Larimer County - CJC appears to have greatly exaggerated employment numbers - CJC will take far more money out of the economy than it puts back in - if the project meets CJC's expectations, WC will become heavily dependant on gambling for tax revenue (3) WHAT WILL BE THE IMPACT ON LONGMONT? ll ---------------------------------------- (3.1) one-way cash-flow out of Longmont-------------------- - traffic study expects 1 in 4 of patrons to come from Longmont - then Longmont citizens will leave $3.25 million at track in 1st year - location on I-25 chosen for easy access from numerous communities 5 (inc. N. Denver) - Longmont would have nothing near a monopoly on supply of labor, goods, services - gambling would cause significant loss to Longmont economy (3.2) pressure on low-income housing and social services-------------------------------- - most of the transient workers will seek low-income housing and social services in Longmont. — our low-income housing shortage would become much worse during racing season - Longmont's social and welfare agencies would have to donate their services w/o tax income to finance it (3.3) Longmont will lose commercefrom Iy2� - -some traffic on I-25 now _diverts through Longmont for food, lodging, etc. - the CJC project (restaurants, hotels) will intercept it (3.4) road usage / traffic congestion will increase greatly J - in addition to Longmont patrons (25% of total) - 11% of patrons from Boulder would pass through Longmont on way to track - this seasonal traffic would upset traffic planning - no tax revenue to pay for increased road maintenance.L(3.5) gambling will scare away industrial investment — recent study of the likely impact of casino gambling in Pueblo, concluded 8 out of 10 companies would be discouraged by gambling there - race-track and its associated gambling would have similar chilling effect on industrial development, both in Longmont. and in western WC (4) WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE RACE-TRACK GOES BROKE; ; - so far, talked about impact if the project succeeds - but is it likely to? what would happen if it fails? - track attendance nationwide is falling - according to Co. Racing Commission statistics, Centennial / Arapahoe attendance has been falling steadily since 1982 - Arapahoe Park lost $1 million this year - it has cancelled several races/week + last 3 weeks of current season l------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Carney, Chairman of Colorado Racing Commission; "I am very pessimistic about the future of horse-racing in Colorado. They've not been able to attract the public. That's evident by what's happening at Pikes Peak (a track south of Colorado Springs that closed Aug. 8) and Arapahoe." - in the Application before you, none of the 22 directors of CJC claim any previous involvement with horse-racing G 1f the professionals at Arapahoe cannot turn aprofit, how can CJC? - - CJC project would have a handicap that Arapahoe does not - Arapahoe is on E. side of metro Denver - minutes away from population center of over 1 million - but attracted only 2,022 daily average this season - CJC track would be in middle of 2500 sq. mile PMA - with scattered populationof over 2 million - but expects to attract 4,000 daily average 1st season - how? if Arapahoe is going broke, what will make CJC project succee� L In the not unlikely event of financial failure of the race-track, what would happen to the site? — does anyone farm land that cost $5,000/acre? - who would bear the costs of the new sewage district, etc? - if the CJC plan proceeds, the track would be surrounded by developments - most likely that race-track site would also be converted to commercial or industrial or residential development - if only to help bear cost of new Sewage District, etc. - all claim to "agricultural" activity would then vanish ------------------------------------ Net effect; a new city would have been created, against all the intent of the Weld-County-C- - at omprehensive Plan a new citycreatedy'by-the-back door" yJ - because of shaky financial position of horse-racing in Colorado - because of similarities between Arapahoe and CJC project because of geographical handicap of CJC project il--------------- isn't this "back-door city" the most likely long-range outcome? Is this a risk that Weld County wants to take? -'------`_----y (5) DEFICIENCIES AND OMISSIONS IN THE APPLICATIONS ------------------------- Application has not justified need Yfor the new PUD district Application - why does CJC need hotel, retail space, hi-tech development, etc. , when Longmont is just 5 miles away? - why not develop Mead?

Lamm Frank A.Traylor, M.D.Governor / Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Rod Allison Weld County Department of Planning Services FROM: Tom Bennett Water Quality Control Division DATE: June 6, 1984 SUBJECT: Colorado Jockey Club The availability of adequate wastewater treatment is dependent upon the ultimate construction of a regional facility. As organizational meetings for a district are now being conducted it is premature for the Division to find that adequate wastewater treatment does or will exist, as called for in C.R.S. 30-28-136. Further, the Division will not commit to the approval of interim treatment facilities. The Division will consider such interim facilities only when it is certain that a regional facility will become a reality. The Division supports the concept of a regional treatment plant to serve this area, provided that it is -consistent with local and regional planning efforts and will not adversely impact waters of the state. Until such time as a commitment has been received from the Little Thompson Water District, indicating its intent and capability to serve the develop- ment, no comments on the water supply will be forthcoming. As per C.R.S. 30-28-136(2), review agencies are afforded twenty-four days within which to comment on proposals. - TLB:mds • enclosure 4210 EAST 11TH AVENUE DENVER.COLORADO 8022n DHONc '2") "n_0000 LAW OFFICES OF HOPP, CARLSON & BECKMANN, P.C. 2130 MOUNTAIN VIEW AVENUE, SUITE D LONGMONT, COLORADO 80501 WALTER J.

It has been forwarded to the No. 3 Outlet Ditch Company, which we represent. At a meeting of certain o₹ the directors and stockholders of such ditch company the following matters were discussed and agreed upon. The No. 3 Outlet Ditch flow across the subject property in a northeasterly direction. The area it flows through is designated on the Site Plan as Parking and R-V Parking. The Ditch Company has some concerns about the project. First, there are concerns about water quality, and the effect upon water quality if areas adjacent to the ditch are paved, and then receive pollutants from motor vehicles. Concern was also expressed about having an open ditch next to the R-V Parking area, and the possibility for trash and other _pollutants to be thrown into the ditch. Second , if drainage into the ditch in this area is greatly accelerated over amounts experienced in the past, there are concerns about downstream flooding. Specifically, the paving of large parking areas, and other possible alterations to drainage in the area, may result in a great influx of water into this ditch during heavy storms. The result could well be that the ditch would wash out further down stream. The third and perhaps the greatest issue is that of potential liability to this ditch company should any person or animal he injured or _lie in this ditch. Even if the ditch were fenced along its entire course through the subject property, we have serious doubts about whether that would effectively reduce access to the ditch. The proposal reached after discussing these items is that the LAW OFFICES OF HOPP, CARLSON & BECKMANN, P.C. ditch be placed underground from a point where it flows into the subject property, to a point where it exits the subject property. The size of the underground pipe , and access points to it at reasonable places as it crosses the property, can be determined by appropriate engineering studies. Placing the ditch into at underground second an ie concern would obviously meet the concern about water quality, Y. about downstream flooding , and would significantly reduce potential liability exposure. On behalf of the ditch company, therefore, we propose that engineering studies be conducted by the applicant, in cooperation with us , to arrange for underground pipe for the ditch in this area. Engineering fees and installation expenses a should since paid theditch y flow the applicant- Timing of the work is very the is required during growing seasons. In connection with P a h not the ditch underground , it might b e possible to straighten the p ditch in at least one significant area, to possibly reduce costs for the applicant. Further , if the ditch does not have an exact defined easement where it flows across the property, rtty, it inight be -better enter into an easement r the ditch company and the app specifically locating and _defining the width of the easement for future maintenance after the work is completed. We ere pleased to report that the directors and stock-holders of the ditch company -who met in our office, and who represent -a substantial majority of the entire stockholders, have no oiobjobjections to ion. _It io the propose d use of the land, as indicated in the app licant our desire to be cooperative with the applicant, so that the app may proceed with its development plans, so long as the rights of the ditch company and its stockholders are protected. To that end, may we suggest that approval of any final Site Plan for this development be conditioned uon the agreement overing the applicant negotiating sematters in -a form reasonably satisfactory to the ditch company.

Dear Rod: If approved, the Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. should prepare and apply an "Erosion and Sediment Control Plan" and a "Storm Water Management Plan." The information forwarded to our office does not indicate that such plans have been developed. Due to the magnitude of the construction activity that this project would generate, the potential for damage to soil resources is also of greater importance. The USDA Soil Conservation Service is available for assistance in the development of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and a Storm Water Management Plan. Methods of preventing wind and water erosion, control of surface hydrology, and proper revegetation of disturbed areas should specifi-tally be addressed.

The "Traffic Impact Analysis" included with these referrals has been reviewed and discussed with the project engineer prior to our receipt of these referrals. As a result of our comments, the consultant plans to submit a revised analysis, which we have not yet received, for review. Since the traffic impact of this project on the highway system is our primary concern, we feel it would be inappropriate to comment on these referrals at this time. Once we have received the revised analysis we will require at least two weeks for review so that we can coordinate our comments with our Denver staff. Let us know if you need any further information.

Our question stems from recent problems with the Sekich Equipment Company industrial Property, the Rademacher P.U.D. and recent correspondence from Little Thompson Water -District. Our approval, at this _time, is conditional upon the develop- ment to comply with r-equirements of Wel-d County Zoning Ordinance, section 24, paragraph 24.5.1.1 and 24.5.1 ,4. Paragraph 24.7.3.16, "Description of Proposed Fire _Protection Measures" is very brief in the Colorado Jockey Club narrative, and the developer has not_ contacted us to determine our requirements. The Longmont Fire _Protecti-on District reserves the right to impose additional requirements for fire protection as more specific information on this idevelopment becomes available.

St. , Greeley, CO 80631 Weld Ca. Planning Commission 23 October, 1984 Dear Mr. Cunliffe, As representatives of an informal and voluntary group of Longmont citizens, called Citizens Against the Race—Track (CART) , we wish to bring to your attention a number of reasons why we believe that the Application for Use by Special Review from Colorado Jockey Club (CJC) should be denied. (1) CJC intends to create what amounts to a new city — a "luxury lakeside housing community" consisting of 50 acres of condominiums, and 242 ranchetttes and patio homes on $0 acres, all priced at S125,000 and up; a sports center containing an olympic-size swimming-pool, racquet ball and tennis courts; 48,000 square feet of retail shops; restaurants and bars; a 200-room hotel-convention center; a 60,000 square-foot hi-tech office center and business-park on 18 acres (PUD Narrative) or 22 acres (Traffic Impact Study) ; a veterinary clinic, a museum, and a 200-bed medical center - all in the middle of presently undeveloped farmland. Not by any stretch of the imagination could this use of the land be termed "agricultural." It would in fact obstruct agriculture in the surrounding area, because real-estate speculation would make prices sky-rocket. As a foretaste, the Application shows that 160 acres sold for $20,000 in 1968, is now under option for purchase for S840,000 this year. Such prices make it very unlikely that "horse—farming" or any other farming activities would be economically viable in the vicinity of the race—track, and neighbouring land—owners would come under increasing pressure to sell out to speculators. The Application is, therefore, by its nature incompatible with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. (2) In the context of (1) , it is interesting to note _that just 3 of the 22 officers and directors of CJC claim involvement with cattle-raising (Special Review Application Narrative, Appendix A) ; but none claim any involvement with horses and only 1 (a wholesale florist) claims any other involvement with agriculture. This widespread lack of past involvement with any agriculture (let alone with horses or "horse—farms") also, makes it hard to accept that the project's activities are to be predominantly "agricultural" in nature (just as one would not expect a group of farmers to band together to manufacture computers) . (3) The number of jobs that CJC claims the race—track would provide, appears to be inflated by a factor of up to 10 times. (Incidentally, their "Narrative" claims 500 year-round _jobs; their "Detailed Description" claims 125.) Centennial Race-track employed only 35 year-round, swelling to 300 at each season's peak. Arapahoe Park now employs 12-15 (plus 4 for the food services) year-round, rising to 250-30D at the peak of the season (plus 100 in 2- food-services). Most of CJC's seasonal employees (375 out of 500, according to their figures) would be unskilled (Arapahoe Park trains most of its pari-mutuel workforce afresh, each season) and many would be part-tine. The experience at Arapahoe Park is that, on average, each horse stabled there results in the employment of one person. 1200 horses, then, would create employment for about 1200 in the backstretch - about half of CJC's projection of 2500. The vast majority of backstretch workers are transients. Many travel with their wives and children, following the races and the -race-horse-owners from track to track around the US. Others work in the backstretch "for love of the race-track, not for the money". Consequently, they are poorly -paid. A book published in 1982 quoted daily expenses ("food, grooms, hot-walkers, exercise boys, trainer's expenses") at $40 per day, and $5 — $10 _per day for an exercise-boy is not unknown at Arapahoe Park. Further, it is unlikely that such employees pay all taxes due to the State and the IRS. Since this meager employment would be accompanied by a take-out from local communities of $13 million in the first year alone (see Section 5) , it is hard to believe that employment at the race-track would provide overall economic benefit either to Weld County or to nearby communities such as Longmont. (4) CJC's proposed city would tot be a "balanced" community. The most glaring omission is that of low and middle-income housing. The "150 apartments with an anticipated average monthly rent of $400" and the "150 dormitories" would not do much -for the 2500 backstretch workers and their denendants. The apartments are unlikely to materialize in any case, because at that rent level today - let alone in 2 or 3 years time - they would be only marginally profitable. Almost all the workers (particularly the transients) will need to live in the surrounding communities (Longmont in particular) , and it would he those communities, therefore, that would b e called upon to bear the costs of most of the normal community services. In particular, Longmont's low Income housing shortage, already near crisis levels, would become substantially worse during the racing season, and rents would rise. This would place an increased burden on those welfare agencies that serve the homeless, and the added social stress would have other effects (such as increased crime) that would ripple outward through the Longmont community. (5) Documents -0n file with the Colorado Racing Commission and with Weld County planning, show that CJC's principal activity, in terms of dollar turnover, would not be "agricultural" but would in fact, -be gambling in a variety of forms. In addition to pari-mutuel betting en local CJC races, the race-track would harbor off-track-betting (0Th) facilities linked via satellite to a national network that ties together similar establishments around the US. Paying audiences in a projection-TV theater would be able to watch and bet upon races and other sports events being run elsewhere. CJC apparently plans heavy emphasis on year-round OTB via satellite. CJC expects some $58.8 million dollars to be gambled in the first year 5 (including $12.6 million via satellite) , based on an average daily attendance of 3,500 (Attachment #1) ; their latest average daily attendance forecast of 4,000 (in the "Detailed Description") , then would result in a handle of S67.2 million. This handle would require that $20.2 million be carried into the race—track, since industry statistics show that each dollar carried into a race—track is "churned" into about $3.33 in bets. (For comparison, in 1983, bettors walked into Centennial Race—track with about $11.5 million in their pockets (and walked out again with about $4.5 million) . The average wager per capita there (i.e. total of all bets, divided by total race—track attendance) was about $92.) In the first year of operation, about 62 cents out of every dollar ($12.5 million) would be kept by the race-track when the patrons leave. To this can be added about $0.5 million in fees for admission to the race-track and clubhouse, plus money spent at concession stands, etc. , for a total first-year projected revenue of about $13 million. For comparison, Weld County's total revenues are projected to be $48.2 million in 1985. CJC's Application glosses over the issue of gambling, gives no figures for the scale of the gambling activity, does not attempt to estimate the financial impact on surrounding communities, and even manages to avoid disclosure of most of the overhead costs of the gambling operation, by stating that the supporting equipment would be leased rather than purchased. (6) The claim that the project would bring economic benefit to Colorado as a whole is unrealistic. Unlike manufacturing, where everyone involved goes home a little ricner at the end of every day, gambling does not create wealth. The 1 person in 1,000 (on average) who leaves richer at the end of the day does so because the other 999 go home poorer. This cannot make the surrounding communities more wealthy, unless the patrons are brought in from out of state, as is the case in Las Vegas or Atlantic City. However, CJC's projections and their "Primary Market Area " map (Attachment #1) make it plain that they expect most of their customers to come from within Colorado (". . . 75% of race track patrons travel 30 minutes or less to reach the facility . ..") so that little money (if any) would come in from out of state. CJC would merely circulate money from wallet to wallet within northern Colorado, taking a bite for themselves out of each transaction - a total bite of $13 million in the first year alone. (7) The tax benefits projected for Weld County are speculative, because they would be offset by the loss of sales tax income from local merchants, and by the costs of repairing the social damage caused by the gambling. The easy availability of gambling has been shown to stimulate compulsive gambling - an addiction with social effects comparable with those of drug addiction. Between 3% and 6% of the US population are estimated to be actual or potential compulsive gamblers. ". .. each compulsive gambler disrupts the lives of 10 to 17 others, including his relatives, creditors, and co-workers . .. the average compulsive gambler usually bets twice what he makes, and costs society approximately $40,000 a year" (Attachment #8) . Recent studies and police investigations in Atlantic City have revealed that the 17- legal gambling there has stimulated widespread and illegal gambling among local teenagers and adolescents (Attachment #6) . This corroborates research by groups that treat compulsive gamblers, which shows both that the availability of gambling stimulates it, and that most compulsive gamblers get hooked before the age of 21. Compulsive gambling would become a new social problem in Weld County (as well as in Longmont) , and its costs could by themselves wipe out the tax benefits. It could be argued that if (as CJC expects) the majority of gamblers live outside Weld County, then Weld County would receive the tax benefits while the rest of Colorado would pay the bulk of the social costs. This would probably be true. We can only hope that the citizens of Weld County will not wish to raise tax revenue in such a cynical manner. (8) Another social problem that Weld County and Longmont have hitherto been almost free of, and that the CJC project would introduce, is illegal gambling. Illegal bookmakers service those unable to gamble at the track because of conflict with work schedules, lack of transport, being under 18 years old, or lack of cash. The Federal authorities estimate that, nationwide, about $4 of illegal bets are made for every S1 bet legally. Growth of illegal betting would coincide with increased pressure on the police force and other public officials, to accept bribes and look the other way. If CJC were to adopt Arapahoe Nark's practice of hiring off-duty police-officers as security-guards, there would be daily socializing between the gambling community and officers of the Longmont and Weld County law enforcement agencies. (9) The bottom line is that this project would cause noticable financial loss to the City of Longmont. (9a) If the Traffic Study projections are accurate, 1 in 4 of the race—track patrons can be expected to come from the City of Iongmont. This would cause Longmont citizens to spend about $3.25 million at the race—track (across the County line) in the first year alone. (For comparison, Longmont's gross retail sales will total about $48 million in 1984.) Some of that $3.25 million could be expected to return to the City of Longmont in the form of discretionary income from earnings at the race—track, or as business profit from the supply of goods and services to the race—track. However, since the race—track location on I-25 has been carefully chosen for easy access from numerous communities (including North Denver) , Longmont would have nothing near a monopoly on supply of labor, goods, and services. Legal gambling losses would, therefore, cause a significant overall loss to the Longmont retail economy. (9b) Most of the transient workers would expect to find low—income housing and social services here in Longmont. As described in (4) , our social and welfare agencies would have to donate their services to people brought in by a Weld County community that would pay no taxes to us to finance those services. (9c) At least some of the interstate traffic flowing on 1-25 now diverts through Longmont in order to obtain services such as food and lodging. If the proposed development (with restaurants and hotels) is permitted to proceed, much of the diversion to Longmont would cease, causing still more economic damage to -our community. (9d) Road usage and traffic congestion within Longmont would increase greatly, partly because of Longmont citizens going to the race—track, but also because the projected 117 of patrons originating in Boulder, would pass through Longmont. Not only would this seasonal traffic upset traffic planning, but also the City of Longmont would receive no tax revenue to pay for the increased road maintenance. (9e) A recent study of the likely impact of casino gambling in Pueblo, concluded that 8 out of 10 companies who might otherwise consider Pueblo as a site for future investment, would be discouraged by a gambling establishment there (Attachment #7) . The race—track and its associated gambling could be expected to have a similar chilling effect on future industrial investment both in Longmont, and in the western half of Weld County. (10) An argument frequently made in favor of pari-mutuel gambling is that, social effects aside, being state-regulated it is at least "clean." However, gambling syndicates have now sprung up to exploit legal ways to manipulate tote odds, at the expense of the local bettors (Attachment ir9) . (11) Surely creation of a new community from scratch "out in the middle of nowhere", so to speak, and remote from all Weld County services, is not a cost-effective way to bring economic development into Weld County? Surely it is much more expensive to install completely new housing, utilities and social services in the middle of a tract of undeveloped farmland, than it would be to expand existing facilities on the edge of an existing community, such as Greeley? (12) So far, this letter has considered the impact of the race-track if the venture succeeds. But is it likely to? And what would happen to the project if 3t fails? CJC's expectations run counter to recent experience both nationwide (Attachment #4) , and at Centennial / Arapahoe where (according to Colorado Racing Commission -statistics) attendance has been falling steadily since 1982. The August 19, 1984 edition of the Rocky Mountain News (Attachment #5) quotes Tom Carney, Chairman of the Colorado Racing Commission as saying; "I am very pessimistic about the future of horse-racing in Colorado. They've not been able to attract the public. That's evident by what's happening at Pikes Peak (a track south of Colorado Springs that closed Aug. 8) and Arapahoe." Note also that none of the 22 directors of CJC claim any previous professional involvement with horse-racing. If the professionals at Arapahoe Park cannot make horse—racing profitable, is CJC likely to succeed? Construction of Arapahoe Park has cost about $32 million over the last two years (CJC plans to spend S41.1 million). Arapahoe Park lost $1 million dollars this year (UPI report) , and it is in such severe financial difficulties that it has been forced both to raise money in ways that have attracted the attention of the Arapahoe County DA, and to cancel not only several races each week but also the last three weeks of the current racing season in their entirety. In the not impossible event of financial failure of the race-track, it is difficult to imagine the site being returned to its original farming use, because of the commercial development that would by then surround the race-track. Instead, it is likely that the race-track site would also be converted to commercial development, and all claim by CJC to "agricultural" activity would then vanish. The net effect would then be that a new commercial city, just five miles from Longmont's City limits, and contrary to the mandate of the Weld County Comprehensive -Plan, would have been created "by the back d000r," so to speak. In view of the precarious financial position of horse—racing in Colorado, one must wonder whether this is not the most likely long—range outcome of the CJC -project. The issue is not the "freedom to gamble." Denial of the Permit will not prevent Weld County or Longmont residents from gambling„ if they so wish; but it will compel them to travel to established gambling facilities such as Cloverleaf Lennel Club (in Loveland) or Arapahoe Park, thereby both keeping their gambling activities within bounds, and holding at least some of the side—effects "at arms length", so to speak. Also, we trust that you will -not misunderstand our concern as being an attempt to dictate to Weld County the terms of future development there. The economic development of Weld County as a whole is clearly the prerogative of the citizens of Weld County, and we would not wish to interfere. However, this race—track would be built just 5 miles from the present limits of the City of Longmont, making Longmont by far the closest community of any significant size. This geographical quirk forces us to take an interest in the project, because it means that the social and economic impact would be much greater on the City of Longmont than on adjacent areas of Weld County (because of the disparate -Population densities) , while Weld County would receive all tax revenue. We feel, therefore, that the City of Longmont has a legitimate interest. We are preparing a petition to the Weld County Planning Commission, for which we -expect strong support from Longmont citizens (we recently collected more than 100 signatures in 2 days on a related petition to the -Racing Commission) , and we expect to have representatives on hand at the Planning Commission Hearing on October 30, to elaborate further on the concerns expressed herein. Thank you very much for your consideration of our position. Yours sincerely 4 , JL j leal AZ] gay-) Richard Gilbert Dan Hall Martin Tobias 223b -w�<�h �.= /Od S E. 5d%'e.

POPULATION AND ECONOMIC BASE OF THE PROPOSED PRIMARY MARKET AREA 3-8 11‘ ii 2. _ _l SUMMARY The proposed Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association, Inc. (CJCRA) horse racing facility would be located Tear the intersection _of Interstate 25 and Colorado Highway 66. The location of the proposed race track is illus- trated in Figure 1. The primary market area (PMA) shown in this figure is the region from which the majority of demand will be derived. Market areas for horse racing facilities typically extend 50 to 60 miles from the track -depending upon the local transportation network. One study found that 75 percent of race track patrons travel 30 minutes or less to reach the facility and 25 percent travel more than 35 minutes. The location of CJCRA on Interstate 25 would minimize auto and transit travel times from population centers. The communities of Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, Brighton, and the northern suburbs of the Denver Metropolitan Area are all within 30 minutes driving time. Cheyenne, Wyoming, Tort Morgan, Estes Park and the southern suburbs of Denver would be within one hour driving time. PMA population was _over two million residents in 1982. The number of residents is projected to increase to about 2.3 million in the area -by } 1990. Appendix A provides an overview _of population estimates and examines employment, income and retail sales in this region. Horse racing is the largest spectator sport in the nation with E . attendance approaching 77 -million in 1982 in the 29 states which have pari- mutuel horse racing. Pari-mutuel wagers were $12 'billion in 1982. Attendance t and pari-mutuel wagers have experienced slow growth in recent years. Competi- tion from greyhound racing is one factor affecting -horse racing in certain states, including Colorado. New developments such as satellite betting and simulcasting have the potential to significantly increase horse racing pari- -mutuel revenues. These considerations are included in the examination of national pari-mutuel racing trends presented in Section I. t Analysis of pari-mutuel racing in Colorado shows domination by grey- hound racing with stagnant horse racing attendance and pari—mutuel wagers. Centennial Racetrack, which ceased operations in 1983, experienced net lasses largely due to inadequate growth in pari-mutuel revenues. The new horse rac- ing facility planned for Arapahoe County would present competition to the pro- 'posed Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association; the extent of the competition would depend upon the nature of the racing seasons granted the two facilities. Competition from greyhound racing would also reflect the degree to which rac- ing seasons overlap. Introduction of satellite wagering, still in its infancy, represents potential for growth of Colorado racing. The Colorado lottery, bingo or other alternatives represent other considerations. Section II of the report reviews pari -mutuel racing in Colorado. Attendance at Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association races is pro- jected to be 420,000 in the first year of _operations assuming 120 days of Aracing. Based upon attendance in states with similar racing characteristics, average daily attendance is forecast to increase from 3,590 in the first year 5 iv li IFIGURE I .

The facility and land would be purchased by Colo- rado Jockey Club, Inc. The Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association, Inc. , a nonprofit entity, would lease the facilities and real estate from Colorado Jockey Club, Inc. In the initial year of operation, $1.83 million would be available to apply against lease arrangements, depreciation, amortization, NI foundation or charitable contributions, and additional purses. For the same purpose, $2.53 million would be available from second year operations, and from the third year operations, $3.21 million would be present. MNIn sum, a large growing market is available for the proposed Colo- rado Jockey Club Racing Association. With suitable management and financial arrangements, the operation should be economically feasible. III till Bill vi SI SECTION III. PROJECTION OF TOTAL HANDLE I Pari-mutuel wagers or "handle" for the proposed Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association (CJCRA) would accrue from four sources: • On track handle from races run by the Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association. • Handle from out-of-state stake races simulcast to the Colorado Jockey Club -Racing Association via television network telecasts. • Handle from betting at the CJCRA on other horse or greyhound races run within Colorado. • Handle from betting at other Colorado horse or grey- hound tracks on CJCRA races. The Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association plans call for thorough— bred, quarter horse and mixed meets. Harness racing might also become a pos- rs sibility for the CJCRA. While attendance and handle projections recognize these different types of racing, projections by type of meet have not been developed since the duration of the different meets will be determined later. Handle for Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association races. Handle for Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association races is projected by forecasting average daily attendance and average wager per attendance. A racing season of 120 days is assumed for these forecasts. The basis of the attendance projections is historical attendance _compared with population base in other areas in which horse racing competes with greyhound racing. These areas, including Arizona, Oregon, Florida and Massachusetts; represent conditions faced by a proposed horse race track in Colorado. Although important factors such as tourism and competition with professional sports and other activities for the recreational dollar might vary from Colorado, horse racing in these states presents the best indication of horse racing potential for the Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association. Average daily attendance per 1,000 people residing in the primary market area (PMA) ranged from 1.03 for Suffolk Downs in 1982 to 4.48 at Gulf- stream Park in 1981. Typical ratios range from 2.0 to 3.0 average daily attendance per 1,000 residents. The relatively high Florida and Arizona ratios reflect the importance of tourism in these areas. Major summer tourism areas such as Estes Park are within easy access of the proposed facility and will be a positive factor though the influence of tourism will fall below the levels experienced in other states such as Florida. Centennial averaged only 1.49 attendance per 1,000 residents in 1982 within a PMA which includes Colorado Springs as well as the Denver Metro Area.

This ratio is conservative compared with Arizona or Florida since the Colorado Jockey Club Racing Association would not be expected to capture the same num- ber of tourists as -either the Arizona or Florida tracks. The CJCRA ratio also reflects the relatively lower expected attendance for quarter horse racing. The ratio is higher than Suffolk Downs since as a new modern facility it is expected to attract more attendance. Also, the Suffolk Downs ratios are depressed since certain large population centers included in the PMA might not be expected to travel to Suffolk Downs due to lengthly travel times. s The attendance ratios applied are higher than recent Centennial -experience.

Betting is what racetracks are for. In addressing the public and trying to drum up trade, however, the tracks behave as if betting were only incidental. Their promotional messages hardly mention that allurement but emphasize the beauty and gallantry of the horse and the excitements of the race." (f) p. 36. "Another truism from gambling history is that dishonesty and fraud have invariably been an integral part of the gambling business." (i) p. 17. "In American gambling history, . .. a holy alliance has existed between illegal gambling, syndicated crime and widespread corruption of public officials. This triad has been so ubiquitous and invariable as to be almost as American as the hamburger." (i) p. 21. ". . .the Commission has determined that . .. most local police departments cannot deal effectively with large gambling operations. .. Lack of resources, . . .interjurisdictional problems, and corruption are the principal roadblocks to effective gambling law enforcement by local authorities." (c) p. 3. "History has repeatedly shown that legislative sanction expanding gambling quickly results in mass gambling and greatly increases its illegitimate offspring. Proprietors of illegal gambling operations regularly support and promote expanded legal gambling because they know their business will increase proportionately. With this expansion of gambling, the bulk of the economic loss is usually sustained by those of low income groups who are least able to afford it.. . . . .Moran (1970) has demonstrated how the greater availability of gambling facilities was directly proportional to the increased number of compulsive or pathological gamblers." (i) p. 19. ..an OTB parlor is as addictive as a gambling casino or a racetrack. It gets hundreds of people hooked every week. Unfortunately, those who can least afford to gamble, as usual, are doing most of the gambling. Housewives make up a good portion of the regulars at OTB. You can see the same faces there every day. When you go every day, you' re hooked. You're betting the money for rent, food, or other household expenses, most of the time without the spouse's knowledge." (a) p. 76. "Wherever you find gambling, regardless of its nature, you will find crimes being committed because of it.. . You and I, our brother and sister, mother and father, aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins, and all our close friends are responsible for about 90 percent of all the criminal acts connected to gambling. This is the saddest part of gambling. It makes otherwise honest men and women trespass the law." (a) p. 47. 2c "The Commission's research has shown that the availability of legal gambling creates new gamblers." (c) p. 2. "Critics of expanded gambling contend that for every tax dollar generated, there follows a greater financial cost in increased welfare loads, increased crime, expanded legal services and an increased load in law enforcement problems which inevitably ensue. Also, the human misery and hardship suffered by the families of addicted gamblers, the loss of sales and income to conventional businesses, and other social costs are of an order which do not readily tally in the accountant's ledger." (i) pp. 26-27. "There appear to be four broad, distinguishable categories of gamblers.. . In order of frequency, they are; The social gambler — the most common . .. gambling behaviour. The compulsive gambler. The antisocial (criminal) gambler. The professional gambler, the least common type. The social gambler gambles for recreation. . . .most often he loses. . ..He knows he is playing a game and he has a totally separate life. The compulsive gambler cannot stop. His life centers around gambling. Other aspects of his life diminish in importance. . ..(He) becomes a stress creator — in relation to his family, his work, and his friends. .. He exaggerates, distorts and lies. .. The compulsive gambler is not the only victim. His spouse suffers — also his children, his parents, friends, employer, and society. . ..Here is a composite picture of a compulsive gambler as he might appear when he asks for help: A male in his thirties who is without any financial resources. He is deeply in debt to banks, loan companies, credit card companies, friends, business associates, and family. He is behind in mortgage payments, car payments, utility paymernts. He has no life insurance, disability insurance, or hospitalization insurance. The family 's basic needs are provided by parents, welfare, or income from the wife's employment. His employment is lost due to absences, inefficiency, irresponsibility, or theft. He has lost his business due to legal action by unpaid creditors. . . His wife is regularly threatening divorce.. . There are discipline problems with the children. He must avoid encounters with most acquaintances due to unpaid loans. .. Siblings (brothers and sisters) are alienated as are his parents , who have possibly paid off his debts at least once. There is threatened or real prosecution for unpaid loans, IRS demands, forgery, or theft. He has thought of suicide, of running out on his family. He spends most of his time frantically searching out sources of money. He thinks about gambling constantly. He gambles and loses regularly. If he should win, he does not pay debts except those from illegal sources. One out of four will deny a gambling problem at this point. . ..The antisocial (criminal) who gambles . . . will cheat whenever possible. He will do anything to win. .. If he wants money for gambling, he will take it in any manner possible with no intention of repaying it. Losing stimulates blaming and violence. He rarely has any feelings of remorse or guilt. He has been in trouble with the authorities virtually all of his life. . ..Professional gamblers invariably have other business interests." (d) "In the hundreds of Gamblers Anonymous meetings I attended, every man who got up to tell his story admitted to stealing." (a) p. 26. "Of approximately 250 compulsive gamblers interviewed.. ." (d) 66% had defaulted on their debts. 21% had declared bankruptcy. 60% had lost a job because of gambling. 53% admitted to committing a crime. 50% borrowed money from illegal sources. 99% said that their gambling caused family problems. 96% started gambling before age 21. Responses to Gamblers Anonymous questionnaires indicate that: (d) 85% lose time from work due to gambling. 97% gamble till their last dollar is gone - and then borrow to finance more gambling. 94% say gambling makes them careless of the welfare of their families. ". ..Gamblers Anonymous . . . claims that there are between 6 million and 9 million (compulsive gamblers in the US) . . . .the Commission's survey was designed to produce a data-based estimate of the number of compulsive gamblers (in the US) and a projection of how that number might be affected by legalization of most gambling. .. As a result of this clinical examination, it was estimated that 0.77 percent of the national sample could be classified as "probable" compulsive gamblers, with another 2.33 percent as "potential" compulsive gamblers. A projection of these figures indicates that there are approximately 1.1 million compulsive gamblers in the Nation (in 1976)." (c) pp. 72-73. "Our research showed approximately 15 million Americans , between 8 and 10 percent of the gambling population, are compulsive gamblers, or, at the least, are addicted to gambling with all the devastating side-effects of the illness." (a) p. 133. "Survey findings also indicate that the widespread availability of legal gambling causes an increase in the incidence of compulsive gambling behaviour." (c) p. 98. "Most compulsive gamblers start when they're between 13 and 18." (a) p. 120. "Of all the gamblers I've treated, 96 percent had begun gambling before they _reached the age of 21." (a) p. 116. "It has been estimated that only one sixth of the money bet on horseracing is wagered at the track, and that the rest is gambled illegally with private bookmakers.. ." (i) p. 73. "(Illegal) E ookmakers do a thriving business all over the country. They'll take your bet today and pay or get paid tomorrow. They'll give you weekly credit.. . Bookmakers also give racetrack odds, which are 5 to 8 percent higher than OTB. Since most gamblers can't make it to the track or the sporting event that they want to bet on, betting with a bookmaker becomes very attractive." (a) p. 2. ". . .illegal gambling is widespread in the United States, putting billions of dollars in the hands of organized crime and .. . it is a primary -source of of police and other official corruption. In a recent unpublished research study done by the Justice Department, it was estimated that between $29 billion and $30 billion are going through the hands of either organised crime organizations (i.e. mafia) or independent crime organizations as a result of illegal gambling activities. Of these billions of dollars, the study estimates 64 percent are spent on sports betting nationwide, 25 percent on numbers betting and 11 percent on illegal horse race betting; those three comprise the major categories of illegal gambling in the United States today." (i) p. 42. "A large part of these enormous profits (approximately 50%) goes for juice money or influence purchasing with key politicians, local magistrates and law -enforcement officials. Thus, antigaming statutes can be subverted anywhere along the hierarchy from the local policeman, -higher police officials, elected or appointed political officials, or by the judiciaries - the latter frequently administering penalties with great leniency and inconsistency..." (i) p. 21. "Involvement in gambling payoffs often leads to corruption involving other offenses. The same people who offer gambling protection may offer money for protection involving narcotics, burglary, or other crimes. Taking gambling payoffs can be merely an intermediate step in a process of progressive _corruption." (c) p. 41. "TABLE 4.2 - 1974 GANBLING BEHAVIOUR OF US AS A WHOLE -adult pop.

Studies show that a crowd churns (bets and rebets) that amount of money frequently enough and in such amounts that it accounts for a day's mutuel handle of at least $2 million. At a track where the legal take is 17 percent and breakage gobbles another 1.5 percentage points (which actually increases the take by 8.8 percent) , total take and breakage on a $2 million mutuel handle is $370,000. But (since) the crowd has wagered only $600,000 of the money it brought to the track, building the $2 million by churning, it can be seen that take and breakage have commandeered more than 60 percent of the folks' out-of-pocket betting money. .. ." (f) p. 187. "On a race day when the public brings $300,000 in cash to the track, the handle -will be about $1 million. Through the course of the day, this $300,000 is recirculated through the windows, shrinking, of course, with the takeout on every race. Assuming breakage averages 1.5 percent on top of the 17 percent takeout, the total dollar takeout on a handle of $1 million is $185,000. When this is subtracted from the $300,000, bettors go home with $115,000. The public lost 62 percent of its money; the guy who brought a $20 bill went home with $7.66."

G 7 - 1 9 Teen poll finds many gamblers ATLANTIC CITY,N.J. (AP)— A survey of nearly 900 New Jer- sey high school students found that 46 percent said they had been illegal under-age bettors at this resort's casinos, the state Council on Compulsive Gambling reported Wednesday. The survey also found that 86 percent said they hadgambled in the past year,and that 32 percent of the students, whose average age was 17,said they engaged in some form of gambling, legal or illegal,at least once a week, said Robert M.Klein,the council's ex- J ecutive director. "The study does get at the question of'Is there a problem of compulsive gambling among high school students?' And the answer is,`Yes,"'said Dr.Henry R. Lesieur,a St.John's Universi- ty sociology professor who orga- nized the survey of 892 students last spring. Legalized forms of gambling in New Jersey include the casinos' games, horse racing, bingo, a state lottery and raffles. State officials estimate that about$14 billion was wagered on all legal forms of gambling in New Jersey last year. Statistics show that the majority of the bets were placed at casinos, where the law requires that patrons be -at least 21 years old. The National Council on Com- pulsive Gambling estimates there are about 10 million com- pulsive gamblers nationwide, and that about 375,000 of them live in New Jersey. Tire questionnaires were dis- tributed to students at three high schools in the northern, central J and southern parts of the state by Martin Rimm,19,a University of South Florida student.

According to the district -formula for this purpose, the developers of _Colorado Jockey Club should donate -to -the district a -total of 5.34 acres. Since this is not an adequate size for a school site, the district -would prefer to accept a cash-in- lieu contribution to be added to other contributions from other developers for the purchase of options or sites. -Please contact Roger Driver, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services, to negotiate the cash-in-li-eu amount.

Box 2394 Fort Collins, Colorado 78022 Dear Ms. Johnsen: When the first rumors of a race track in our area surfaced in the early 70's, there was quite a bit of doubt and apprehension on the part of local citizens in this area. There was opposition at first, mostly by local church groups, which resulted in a very close referendum which passed by approximately 400 votes. All of these doubts and questions have since been laid to rest. Louisiana Downs has proven itself as one of our finest corporate citizens. Since its first racing season in 1974-75, it has distributed more than 60 million dollars to government agencies, institutions, and charitable organizations. This past season alone will see both our city government and parish (county) government receive almost 2 million dollars each as their share of the monies generated. Presently, the track employs approximately 1,100 persons with salaries totaling $7,750,000. The track has also sparked an economic development boom in several areas. Of most interest to the local people is the tremendous boom to the local hotel- motel business. This effect dominoes, of course, into the restaurant, fast food, service station, and other areas. Over 1,500 trainers, jockeys, veterinarians, grooms, and other racing related personnel who come each season add their spending to the local economy. The Louisiana Thoroughbred breeding industry has become a one-half billion dollar business making Louisiana fourth in the nation with over 2,400 foals born statewide in 1983. Though there were questions concerning the possibility of an increase in the local crime rate with the inception of the track, this has not happened. Though we have seen some increase over the past several years, this increase falls in line with the national average and does not appear to be tied into the presence of Louisiana Downs. Louisiana Downs has proven to be a generous contributor to the arts and other charitable organizations. Over and above that required by law, they are always eager to assist the local community. Recently, a Super Derby Festival was held in conjunction with the yearly Super Derby race. Special events 710 BENTON ROAD o BOSSIER CITY, LOUISIANA 71111-3797 o PHONE(318)746-0252 organized by local -citizens generated $166,000 -for local charities in a ten-day period. As you may have Guessed, we are proud of Louisiana Downs. 'They mean a lot to our local economy. If I can be or more assistance, please contact me.

For more -detailed marketing research, please r Per to the study done by the Department of Economic Development of Nebraska completed during the summer of 19_83 in conjunction with the University of Nebraska. The newsletter from the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau (a division of Douglas County government and not af- filiated with the Omaha Chamber of Commerce) shows revenue gained by a three percent tax on lodging the montn or August, 3,-straws a revenue increase of 65 percent. August. 1933 . was the first time racing continued throul the month, which surely contrit≥uted to the increase in local lodging revenue. Overall, Ak—Sar-Ben contributes approximately $40 million into Omaha's economy -during the race season. Motels, jaclals, restaurants, shops, gas stations , attractions, services of all kinds. . . all benefit by the influx of tourist -money. Since Ak-Sar-Ben is the most popular visitor destination in the entire state of Nebraska during the summer months , what's good for Ak- Sar-Ben is good for the whol-e state. We do not know how many of the visitors who come to Ak-Sar-Hen stay overnight. It is estimated that approximately 6, 000 from the Kansas City area alone travel 180 mile-s for the laces, . Perhaps as many as 2, 6Ob overnight. Again, no figures to support this "guestimate." For a mor-e complete account of how Ak-Sar--Ben benefits Omaha, I recommend that you contact Rebeckah Vohoska, Tourism Manager, after November 19.

Several an Equine Center to-meet the growing needs of states have adopted sire-stakes programs, passed students, community and industry. favorable tax lawsand pari-mutual betting.All of these will stimulate-horse breeding and racing. Horse owners will spend 7.5 billion dollars for feed, tack, medication and services in 1983. In addition, 10.5 billion dollars are invested in horses, land and buildings. There are 8.3 million horses in the United States today. There are more than 250,000 young people engaged in 4-H horse projects, and thousands more involved in breed-youth activities.Therefore, the need is greater than ever for information and competent people to work in the horse industry. This need will continue, both for the tom" large breeding farm and the back-yard horse owner. All phases of the horse industry are demanding l that research be conducted and people appropriately trained to meet their needs. These demands have j created tremendous challenges for land-grant — Art. y -- universities such as Colorado State. t"� %-14:11-1: " p-r,- ` _•We Need Your Help We have accepted these challenges and are dedicated to an expanded and modern Equine Sciences Program. The equine teaching, research, service and extension programs at Colorado State University have been combined for efficiency. To accomplish our goal of meeting your needs now and for future generations, we MUST have some new facilities. The facilities that are needed are presented on the following pages. Through private support and sale of land, we have generated two million dollars. We must match this. This four-million-dollar facility will become a focal point for horsemen, not only locally, but regionally and nationally ... a horse program to match the majesty of Colorado's mountains. B.W.

The social effects of such a gambling establishment would include a dramatic increase in the number of people who become compulsive gamblers with the ac- companying increase in child abuse, spouse abuse and divorce.

The social effects of such a gambling establishment would include a dramatic increase in the number of people who become compulsive gamblers with the ac- companying increase in child abuse, spouse abuse and divorce. The impact of these factors on our social services would be significant and could themselves destroy any tax benefits projected for Weld County. ;ambling operations have historically attracted people who are involved in organized criminal activity and such gambling areas attract high incidents of street crime. These factors would produce potential increases in the threat of damage to the lives, health and property of Weld County citizens as well as increasing the cost of law enforcement in Weld County. These costs would ul- timately be borne by Weld County taxpayers. For these reasons, we respectfully request that the Application for Use by Special Review from Colorado Jockey Club be deni-ed.
