CASE NUMBER: Amendment to the St. Vrain Sanitation District Service Area APPLICANT: St. Vrain Sanitation Service Area, c/o Wally Grant, President REQUEST: To amend the service area for the St. Vrain Sanitation District. LOCATION: The proposed service area extends to -approximately1/2-mile north of Weld County Road 32, to Weld County Road 21 on the east, to the Weld-Boulder County line on the west, and to State Highway 52 on the south. APPEARANCE: Wally Grant, Attorney, President, St. Vrain Sanitation District Service Area, explained the new area this request would encompass. LaVern Nelson, P.E. , explained one of the reasons they are expanding the service area is so they will not have to come before the Planning Commission and the 208 Committee every time someone would want to connect to the sewer system. This service area should be compared to a water service area or an electrical service area. The Chairman called for discussion from the members of the audience. Adam LaPore, Tri-Area Sanitation District suggested this service extend to Weld County Road 11. In this way, people in this area would be served by either the Tri-Area of the St. Vrain Sanitation Districts. Phillip McCoy, area resident, spoke in favor of this request. - AMENDMENT: Ann Garrison moved---As a condition of approval, the amended St. Vrain Sanitation District Service Area Plan Map and legal description shall be changed to show Weld County Road 11 as the eastern boundary line for the revised area.

LeAnn Reid - yes; Louis Rademacher - yes; Paulette Weaver - yes; Ann Garrison - yes; Lynn Brown - yes; Motion carried unanimously. MOTION: Ann Garrison moved the request for an amendment to the St. Vrain Sanitation District Service Area be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission' s recommendation for approval based upon the recommendation of the Department of Planning Services' staff and amended by the Planning Commission, and the testimony heard by the members of the Planning Commission. Motion seconded by LeAnn Reid. 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. LeAnn Reid - yes; Louis Rademacher - yes; Paulette Weaver - No. She feels that there is a need for public sewer systems rather than a proliferation of septic systems, but at this point she does not see a need to enlarge the service area. She feels we are creating a city in this area without a local governing body. She does not find the County government sufficient to govern what is developing as a city and until she sees this area operating as its own incorporated city she is not in favor of expanding the development area. Ann Garrison - yes; Lynn Brown - yes; Motion carried four voting for the motion and one vot::ng against the motion.

VRAIN SANITATION DISTRICT SERVICE PLAN Dear Mr. Allison: We hereby re-emphasize of concerns stated in our letter of Oc- tober 21, 1987. Our wish is to continue to serve the towns of Frederick and Firestone in all future annexations. Land use plans indicate Frederick's intent to develop in a westerly direction, and between the present town boundary and Interstate. Highway 25. Annexations in this direction and along Weld County Road 18 have already occurred. Extension of the St. Vrain serv- ice area south of their present boundary would eliminate out ability to provide service to this area. We have taken it upon ourselves to contact the towns of Frederick and Firestone to solicit their response to the proposed amendment. Frederick's town council unanimously voted to con- tinue service with our district in alL future annexations. Firestone has requested additional information for which we have had insufficient time to respond. In consideration of the Town of Frederick' s request and our in- tent to honor this request should they petition for inclusion into our District, we respectfully ask that Weld County disaLlow the proposed extension south of Weld County Road 20 and their July, 1985 Service Area Boundary Line. • Respectfully; Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District Adam LePore - Chairman of the Board cc: Bill Love Don Silar 880788 Ukld County Tri,-Ac a Sanitation District Str„_ ,t P.O.

VRAIN SANITATION DISTRICT Dear Mr. Allison: We would like to thank you for the opportunity to respond to St. Vrain Sanitation District's request to amend their service area. The Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District and Dacono Sanita- tion District have serviced the Towns of Firestone, Frederick an Dacono, as well as the community of Evanston, for many years. We have attended to their wastewater needs in the past and wish to continue to do so in the future. Prompted by completion of the Town of Frederick Comprehensive Plan Update in December of 1986 and in an effort to address cer- tain issues between our two districts, we recently authorized a Master Plan study to, in part, investigate service to the Town of Frederick's urban growth areas shown in Exhibit 5, specifically AREA A, of the Comprehensive Plan Update. Our existing was- tewater treatment facility lies at the northeast corner of this area. Based on the conclusions of our Master Plan study, we have the ability to service AREA A, and an area south and southwest of AREA A. A delineation of our intended service area, which in- cludes AREA A, is attached as Figure IV-1 and titled WCTASD Serv- ice Basin. An overlap of St. Vrain's amended service area and our intended service area exists from 1/2 mile north of Weld County Road 18, to Colorado State Highway 52 on the south, to 1/2 mile west of Weld County Road 13 on the east and to Weld County Road 7 on the west. While realizing the St. Vrain Sanitation District only proposes an amendment to their "service area'" and not their "district boundary", we do want the County Commis- sioners to recognize that an overlap will exist and request that they direct their decision so as to not encumber our ability to 880788 • service the above mentioned area; should we, as a quasi-municipal entity, elect to annex this area into our area of service. Furthermore, historically we have had oral agreements with the Town of Frederick and Town of Firestone that we would service them in all future annexations. We wish to maintain the ability to further honor these agreements in the above mentioned area of proposed "overlap" . Therefore we again ask the commissioner to direct their decisions so to not prevent us from honoring these agreements. Our existing wastewater treatment facility consists of an aerated pond system. Upgrades to this facility will allow expansion of its' capacity to two million gallons per day (2 MGD) . Based on population projections contained in the Comprehensive Plan Update and with these upgrades we will have the ability to treat was- tewater from AREA A. Again we ask that the County Commissioners not encumber our ability to do so. We respectfully request your consideration of this letter rela- tive to CRS 32-1-205. Should you have any questions and/or concerns please feel free to contact us.

From the application materials, I understand that the location of the wastewater treatment facilit, is further downstream than the location proposed in the "St. Vrain Sanitation District Service Plan.' A result of this relocation is that the SVSD ultimately can serve a larger area than originally proposed. This proposed amendment is to expand the service area boundaries to WCR2' on the east, to WCR34 on the north, to the Weld/Boulder County Line on the west, and to Sh52 on the south. The actual district' s boundaries are not proposed to be expanded in this amendment. The City of Longmont has two concerns. First, as the City has commented previously, the St. Vrain River exceeds standards for allowable ammonia content. Future expansions may be a problem for the SVSD, the City, or any other jurisdiction within the St. Vrain Basin that wishes to expand its plant. Second, the proposed western boundary of the service area abuts the eastern boundary of the Longmont Planning Area (LPA) . In order to maintain separate identities , the City supports the establishment and maintenance of physical buffers between itself and neighboring communities . The Longmont_ Area Comprehensive Plan (LACP) speaks to this issue, specifically: Goal 6: To plan for the physical separation of the City from neighboring communities through the use of public and private open space. Goal 22: Encourage the preservation of unique natural features and resources of the Longmont area, maintain the community' s separate identity, provide passive recreationa" areas , and enhance the visual quality of the community. J'...Oa.s a '..J Mr. Rod Allison October 2, 1987 Page 2 Policy 22.3: Establish and maintain urban shaping open space buffers in strategic areas surrounding the City to maintain the community' s separate identity. Strategy 22.31 : Designate strategic open space buffer areas . Strategy 22.33: Contact other jurisdictions and coordinate the purchase and preservation of urban shaping buffers , as identified in approved plans , where both Longmont and other communities or jurisdictions will benefit. Consequently, the "Parks and Open Space Element" of the LACP designates an "Eastern Buffer" around Calkins Lake south to SH119. Since the proposed expansion to the SVSD service area overlays this "Eastern Buffer," the City would not like to see, as a result, that the I-25 Mixed Use Development Corridor also is proposed for western expansion . Consistent with Strategy 22 .33 , above, the City invites Weld County to discuss further the preservation of an "Eastern Buffer" with us soon. Again, I appreciate the opportunity for the City to comment on this application. Please call me at 651-8330 if you have any questions or comments .

Box 1948 i JUL 2 1988 Greeley, Colorado 80632-1948 I 2 CC Re: Saint Vrain Sanitation District L___ "rY" Dear Lee: Enclosed is a copy of the Notice of Hearing pertaining to the amendment of the Saint Vrain Sanitation District' s service plan, Docket No. 88-41. I have highlighted in yellow the last paragraph which is an incorrect statement of the law. The District is not adjusting its boundaries, it is only adjusting its service area. I call your attention to the wording of Section 32-1-202, C.R.S. That Section uses two different terminologies. First, it refers to a Rap of the "proposed special district boundaries" in Subsection 2(d) . Secondly, Subsection 2.1 states that landowners may object to inclusior o* their property which is proposed for inclusion into the District. Section 32-1-203 also speaks of "boundaries" but also speaks of "area to be served. " Thus, it is possible for a special district to have a service area which is larger than its established boundaries. That in fact is the case with the Saint Vrain Sanitation District. As we have discussed in the past, service areas for most special districts such as fire districts, are identical to the boundaries of a district. That is because fire districts usually service only areas within their boundaries and service extra territorial areas through intergovernmental agreements with the county or with neighboring districts or fire departments. However, because of the unique situation of a sanitation district which requires discharge into waters of the state, Section 32-1- 203 (2.5) (d) requires that any service plan be in compliance with county, regional , or state long range water quality management plans for the "area. " In other words, the Saint Vrain Sanitation District simply wishes to be the designated service provider for the entire area. It is not adjusting its boundaries to include this entire area at this particular time. Boundary adjustment must be accomplished through the provisions of Section 32-1-401, C.R.S. 880788 GRANT, BERNARD, LYONS 8c CADDIS Lee Morrison, Esq. July 22 Page 2 I thought it best to bring this matter to your attention before the meeting so that no one will be surprised, especially landowners who may show up at the hearing. ery truly ours, Rithay N.

May 6, 1988 Mr. Rod Allison Department of Planning Services Weld County 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 40631 Re: Amended St. Vrain Sanitation District Service Plan Dear Mr. Allison: By its letter of September 4, 1987, the Board of Directors, St. Vrain Sanitation District, requested that its Service Plan be amended by substituting a proposed new service area. This request was predicated on the District having located its treatment plant farther East, and landowners outside the original service area (hut within the drainage basin) seeking annexation and future service. This area was then scuared off with due regard for the natural drainage and other jurisdiction service areas. A companion thought was to go through this amerdment process only once , including all area within the Drainage Basin which could best be served by this District, should service ever 'oe required, thereby saving both the District and County future processing expense. Planning Services thereupon referred this matter to nearby entities or comments. District representatives then met with Planning Services staff, and the following requirements were placed on the District. They are: a. Reconsider the proposed service area boundaries in the light of annexation interest. The District was urged to defer inclusion of areas where there was no manifest interest in annexing at this time. h. Readdress two requirements in Section 32-1-203, C.R.S. , to-wit: 1) Demonstrate that there is sufficient existing and projected need, 2) Demonstrate that the proposal is in substantial compliance with the master plan adopted pursuant to Section 30-28-106, C.R. S. c. Address the issues raised by the respondents to the initial referral process; particularly meet with Weld County and Tri -Area Sanitation District. 880788 Mr. Rod Allison Weld County Department of Planning Services May 6, 1988 Page 2 Planning Services requested that St. Vrain Sanitation District cover this material in a letter which would be recirculated through the referral process. Upon receipt of comments, if any, the matter would he referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission and then the Board of County Commissioners. This letter is in response to this request. Proposed Service Area. This District has reduced its -proposed service area request by 6800 acres. A revised map accompanying this letter reflects this revision. Some 1,500 acres were deleted to the northeast adjacent to County Line Road and, for the most part, north of Colorado Highway 66. Another 5,300 acres were deleted in the southeast bounded by the present service area to the north and northeast, Weld County Road 5-1/2 if it were to exist, Colorado 52 and County Line Road. There have been no specific requests for inclusion from these areas. They do remain in the District' s natural drainage, and the District is the logical entity to serve these areas should service be required. Section 32-1-203 C.R.S. Requirements. a. Landowners in the remaining areas have either petitioned the District for inclusion or have contacted the District, only to learn that they could not be considered for inclusion because they were not within the District' s service area. Their conviction of the importance of future sanitary service is sufficient to merit increased property tax and processing fees. b. The proposed service area expansion is in substantial compli- ance with the master plan (Weld County Comprehensive Plan) . Provision of a service area is the initial step in providing and developing sewer service in a "timely, orderly and efficient manner." It provides for the procedures and guidelines for disposal of, and disposal sites for., wastewater. It is also the initial step in minimizing potential groundwater pollution from septic tanks. And while not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, it also provides the only good alternative to package wastewater treatment plants. A service area does not deal with land use; that is the exclusive domain of zoning. A service area simply designates the area to be potentially served by a district, be it a fire, library, recreation, mosquito, water or sewer district. It assigns responsibility to a single entity, and it avoids inefficient and uneconomical overlap of functions. In the case of sewer districts, the service area is largely defined by the drainage basin upland of the treatment plant. The County Comprehensive Plan may designate the entire range of land uses within a service area, as is the case with the present St. `train Sanitation District service area , Collection lines are not extended unless zoning allows for sufficient development to bear the cost. On occasion line extensions cross areas 880788 Mr. Rod Allison Weld County Department of Planning Services May 6, 1988 Page 3 zoned for agriculture, thereby providing sewer service to farms. This is both beneficial and in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. It does, in fact, occur within St. Vrain Sanitation District. Issues Raised in Initial Referral Process. 1. Weld County Tri-Area Sanitation District. Represertatives of St. Vrain Sanitation District met with Tri-Area Sanitation District. They had completed a master plan study on how they might serve Town of Frederick urban growth areas. The principal element was a lift station located in the center of Section 23, at Godding Hollow drainage, and a force main extending due east to their treatment plant. This plan would serve 1100 acres that are presently in the St. Vrain Sanitation District service area, for which an existing sewer main 1-1/2 miles to the north, on Godding Hollow, had already been sized. In addition to the problems of Tri-Area' s plan extending into the existing St. Vrain service area , the economics of serving the area were analyzed. This revealed that St . Vrain could serve the area at little over one-half the capital cost of Tri-Area. What-is-more, St. Vrain would have to extend its line in any event to serve the area below (north of) the Tri-Area lift station/force main. The tentative conclusion was that this area should be served in the most economical manner for the benefit of the people, although Tri-Area reserved the right to comment further upon the second referral process. Tri-Area Sanitation, with board members also serving on the Frederick Town Council , prefer a single district serving the Town of Frederick. 2. Town of Erie. They stated that they found no conflicts with their interests, but added: "Any development proposal outside of the present service area' s comprehensive plan, should cause an amendment to the land use plan and the County' s Comprehensive Plan to occur. " St . Vrain Sanitation District has no comprehensive ( land use) plan; it relies solely on the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, all development proposals, both within the present St. Vrain service area and its proposed service area expansion, will be based upon the County' s Comprehensive Plan and zoning process. 3. Boulder County. They stated: "The Land Use Department believes this proposal should be carefully scrutinized by Weld County for conformance to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan." This is being done, hence this submittal . They go on to say: "The approval of a service plan is a major step toward provision of future sanitary services . . . . " This District concurs that it is a necessary step, but the major step rests not with the Sanitation District, but with Weld County in its comprehensive plan revision and zoning processes. Development will not occur without Weld County approval , and sewer lines cannot he funded without approved development to bear the cost. 880788 Mr. Rod Allison Weld County Department of Planning Services May 6, 1988 Page 4 Conclusion. St. Vrain Sanitation District trusts that the above material meets the County' s need. Additional information and explanation will be provided upon request. The District hereby reasserts its request that this proposed service area expansion be scheduled before the Weld Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners as early as practicable. Very truly yours, ST. VRAIN SANITATION DISTRICT allace H. Grant President LDL:WHG:bs SAINTSAN2 cc: Nelson Engineers Weld County Tri-Town Sanitation District Erie Planning and Zoning Commission Boulder County Land Use Department Northern Front Range Water Quality Planning Association 880788 POST OFFICE BOX 978 LONGMONT, COLORADO 80501 1303 7769900 September 4, 1987 Board of County Commissioners Weld County 915 Tenth Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Commissioners: Pursuant to Section 32-1-207, C.R.S. , the Board of Directors of the St. Urain Sanitation District requests that the District's Service Plan be amended by substituting the proposed new service area as shown on the enclosed map for the previously approved service area. In the 1985 Service Plan, the District anticipated that its treatment facility would be located west of Weld County Road 13, in Section 35. Township 3 North, Range 68 West. However, due to various factors ( soil , flood plain, availability and cost of land, access etc. ) the treatment facility is now being constructed at a location east of Weld County Road 13 in Section 31, Township 3 North, Range 68 West. Changing the location downstream has resulted in an increase in the area the District can ultimately serve. We now wish to amend the service area as set forth in Exhibit 2 of the Service Plan, to conform with the actual location of the treatment facility. As can be seen on the enclosed map, the proposed new service a-ea extends to Weld County Road 21 on the east, to Road 34 on the north, to the Weld- Boulder County line on the west and to the State Highway 52 on the south. This area is drained by the St. Urain Creek and Boulder Creek and the District could provide sewer service by gravity to a very large portion, if not all , of this drainage area. It is important to clarify that an extension of the service area is not an extension of the District' s boundaries. The service area simply designates areas which could potentially be serviced by this District as opposed to other providers of similar services. It is our understanding that amendment of the service area will not require amendment of the Weld County comprehensive plan or zoning resolution. Board of County Commissioners Weld County September 4, 1987 Page 2 Please inform us of the amount of the filing fee, if any, as well as the dates this matter will be brought before the Planning Commission and your Board.
