Cur ent Planner DATE: January 11, 1994 CASE NUMBERS: S-347 and S-348 NAME: Ivar and Donna Larson ADDRESS: 925 County Road, Route #1, Berthoud, Colorado 80513 REQUEST: Minor Subdivision Final Plat (Mt. View Estates #1 and Mt. View Estates #2) . LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of Section 5, T4N, R68W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: The parcel is located approximately 1/4 mile west of the intersection of Weld County Road 5 and State Highway 60. THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 4.5.9 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance as follows: This property is zoned A (Agricultural) . The Agricultural zone district was established to maintain and preserve the agricultural base of the County. This proposal will take 25 acres of irrigated farm land out of production. The Comprehensive Plan attempts to minimize the incompatibilities that occur between agricultural and urban uses, and this request will not only increase incompatible uses but will make current farming practices in the area far more difficult. Additionally, the potential for increased interference is probable. This proposal is not consistent with the Agricultural zone policies in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This proposal is located in the A (Agricultural) zone district and is evaluated under the Agricultural Goals and Policies. A goal of the agricultural zone district is to encourage residential development to locate adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities. The parcel is located approximately 1 1/2 mile from the city limits of Loveland, however, the city of Loveland does not consider this parcel to be a part of their Urban Growth Boundary. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the approval of this request encourages "leapfrog" or noncontiguous development in a rural location. (2. EXHIBIT 940392 RECOMMENDATION, S-347 and S-348 Ivar and Donna Larson Page 2 - This request does not represent efficient and orderly development nor does it demonstrate compatibility with existing surrounding land use in terms of general use, scale, density, traffic, dust, and noise. The current general use of the surrounding area is agricultural. The scale and density of the proposal far exceeds the current nature of the area. Based on census data this site will generate 26 additional people in this area. With an increase of density, noise levels, traffic generated, and general overall appearance of this area will change from rural to urban. The soil is mostly Nunn Clay Loam 1 to 3 percent slopes. This soil has fair to poor potential for urban development. It has moderate to high shrink/swell, low strength, and moderately slow permeability. These features create problems in dwelling and road construction (United State Department of Agriculture, P.26) . These same concerns have been addressed by the Health Department and CDS Engineering. The Health Department has received additional information to determine the suitability of septic systems, however CDS Engineering has stipulated the need to provide geotechnical investigation and engineered foundations for each lot. While clay soil performs poorly for urban development. This soil is also classified as prime farm land. As such, this ground plays a vital role as the county's most important natural resource (U.S. Agriculture Soil Conservation Survey, National Soils Handbook) . The Comprehensive Plan calls for the preservation and expansion of prime Agricultural land. In fact, the Comprehensive Plan stipulates that if development is suggested for prime agricultural land appropriate alternative areas should be sought. John Donnely, P.E. , contractor for the applicant has suggested that these two pieces of ground are no longer viable farms due to their size, proximity to other housing, and lack of knowledge of nearby residents. The size of the current parcels are similar (in size) to other existing surrounding farms. By splitting these parcels into 9 lots, the applicants will invite even more people and children into the existing farm area, thereby creating the possibility for even more urban and rural conflict. More owners will further increase conflict and confusion regarding the use of irrigation water. 940392 RECOMMENDATION, S-347 and S-348 Ivar and Donna Larson Page 3 Staff has received numerous objections both verbally and in writing in opposition to this request. The major concerns regard: compatibility with the surrounding area, character of the development, potential interference with agricultural uses, safety issues and general concern for protecting the current agricultural lifestyle of the area. This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials submitted by the applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and responses from referral entities. 940392 SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS AND/OR SUBSURFACE ESTATE/MINERAL OWNERS Ivar and Donna Larson S-347 Thomas and Julia Frink 1756 State Highway 60 Loveland, CO 80537 Donald and Sally Curry 1712 State Highway 60 Loveland, CO 80537 James Gentry III and John Clagett c/o James Gentry 1312 E.

Larson and Donna M. Larson for their Mountain View Estates 1 and 2, and the properties to the east of the proposed subdivision. I have had calls in regard to issues at the site, and this letter is intended to clearly present the Department's requirements in regard to any changes of access which occur in the vicinity of that site, both for the Larson property and for the adjacent properties to the east. The State Highway Access Permit issued November 1, 1993 authorizes access to serve 2 existing single family dwellings (those to the east of the proposed subdivision) , and 9 additional dwellings of the Mountain View Estates Subdivision. That access is a joint access provided by a new private access road identified as Mountain View Lane. The Permit shows the lane centered in two 30 foot access easements, one easement strip on each side of the Larson's east property boundary. There seems to be some confusion in regard to the legality of the 30' access easement which is shown to be provided by the adjacent property to the east. The Final Plat and the Preliminary Road Plan and Profile for Mountain View Estates 1 and 2 have been incorporated into the SH Access Permit, and both clearly show the two 30 foot easements along the boundary. The Preliminary Road Plan also indicates an existing access for single family residential use just east of the boundary, and an agricultural access just west of that boundary. The east • ; EXHIBIT 40 39Vd 3I33Vd1 P 9321 1000 86IZ-OSE-40E EO:P 940302 £uo.mud 86:Z OSZ 202 £0:>I £6. OZ 731 Ms. Monica Daniels-Mika December 20, 1993 Page 2 cf 3 Mountain View Estates 1 & 2 existing access serves a property which fronts the highway, and another property further to the south. Development of the Larson property planned for the authorized joint access design. The Permit which has been issued requires that both of those existing accesses be removed. As the Plat shows the 30' easement provided by the east property, the property owners served by the existing access were not requested to sign the Permit. Now, it seems that the adjacent owner(s) are dissatified with the plans for access, and have stated that the 30' easement is not a legal easement. Any activity in regard to State Highway Access Permit # 493088 shall result in the access drive as permitted and authorized 11-1-93 . That Permit authorizes use by the adjacent property owners to the east, as indicated by the access easement, and as clearly stated on Form 101. That access shall be constructed as a 24-foot access road centered on the property boundary and thus centered in the 60-foot width provided by the two 30-foot easements. Any change of access for any property at that site which does not strictly agree with the Permit will be an illegal access. If it is determined that the access which has been authorized will not serve the properties, the permit process must begin anew, and Permit it 493088 will be VOIDED at the written request of the permittee. The issue of legality of the easement may have been resolved as stated in the Memorandum dated December 13, 1993. Mr. Larson has FAXed the Memorandum to my office this afternoon. This appears to satisfy my office, and a subsequent access application would exclude that prior easement . Please provide me confirmation that the issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the County prior to the imminent re-application process (es) . I have reviewed this issue today by telephone with Mr. Larson, the owner of the proposed subdivision. A representative of my office has been requested by Mr.. Larson to meet with the Larson's engineer on December 22nd in order to review the possible resolution of access for their subdivision. This field review is required even though an access currently serves the property, as the property is to experience a change of use with development. Access design is site specific. Any access permit which is issued for changes of access at the Larson property must be tied to a specific land use with detailed plans for that access . A review of the existing residential access for the east properties must be conducted in order to ensure that the access in fully off of t.hw Tarann property. If there is any need for adjustments to that access, it is required that the adjacent owners contact this office in order that their access needs can be reviewed with us. Any change of that access condition which is not directly linked to the recently authorized Permit must be made only through a separate access application and permitting process which is initiated by the property owner(s) . £0 339Vd 0Id3CJl b 93TJ 1010 86IZ-0SE-E0E EO:DI £661/0Z/ZI 940302 petraald 8612 0S2 202 ve:7I £6. 02 733 • Ms. Monica Daniels-Mika December 20, 1993 Page 3 of 3 Mountain View Estates 1 & 2 Please provide me verbal or written notice of your position in regard to these issues at the earliest possible time.

The property actually consists of a portion of the East 1'2 of the Northeast 1,4, section 5. T4N. R68W, 6th P.M. The first tract of 16 acres was sold to Lawrence H and Mary Starch September 2, 1970. The Second tract of 16 acres was sold to Ronald H. and Judy Smith October 6. 1970. The third tract of 5 acres, containing the original buildings of the short 80 acres, was sold to L&L, Inc. January 28, 1971. These were all transaction between T.R. Yelek and Dwight F. Eaton and the above parties. The subsequent subdivision of the 40 acres was made by L&L, Inc; re; Ivar& Donna Larson. The proposed subdivision of nine. 2.5 acre tracts are not compatible with existing tracts. The smallest of which is five acres. The present ten and fifteen acre tracts arc comparable in size with the existing two 16 acre tracts bordered by Weld County Road 45. These tracts were purchased originally for the rural aspect and the prospect of nine homes in a row with all of the problems they would bring, you might as well live in town. It is stated; " The applicants Ivar & Donna Larson have owned this property since 1972 and have continuously fanned it". They have never farmed it, with the exception of the last two years during which they never irrigated it. Prior to that it was leased to farmers in the vicinity and could be again. There are at least three farmers, Keven J. Bristal who leases the Gentry farm that adjoins the proposed subdivision on the West, Steve Olander, immediately North of the property, and Don Brehm who lives East of the property, and farmed the subject property since 1978 and probably before with the exception of the last two years mentioned above. It is also stated that present tract owners are not knowledgeable concerning irrigation and arc not raising cash crops. How was the knowledge of agriculture irrigation of the present owners determined and since when is " cash crops '' the only agriculture endeavor? At least four of the present owners have livestock enterprises. If present owners can't handle the local irrigation lateral system, how do you justify nine new owners on smaller parcels? The main concern is the addition of nine septic systems each on a 2.5 acre parcels. The average water consumption for a family of four is 6,500 gallons per month per tract times nine equals 58,500 gallons per month as per Laurie D'Audney of the City of Loveland Water Dept. The water table is between 3-4 feet. The general drainage of the area is North easterly. 4. EXHIBIT i9 &3o This puts the five parcels on proposed 5-348 to directly impact the water quality of Nvtr. Mount Reservoir. This is a closed lake with no outlet and furnishes supplement irrigation and water for domestic animals for three parcels adjacent to it, and additional wildlife such as geese. ducks. loons. racoon. fox. coyote, muskrats, and numerous wild birds. What happens when parcels are irrigated over the septic systems leach field 1-2 feet below the surface? It doesn't take an engineer to figure that out. Also isn't it self serving that the applicant is also the engineer that is certifying the perk-test? In view of the fact the parcel in question hasn't been irrigated in the Li t years? what about the timing? The Lake Ditch runs approximately 5-6 months during irrigation season. During the fall and winter months it finishes water to the City of Johnstown. this is an Earthen ditch approximately 30' wide and 10' deep so it carries a large quantity of water and crosses the parcel at the Southwest corner. It no doubt contributes to the pound water level. In summary: 1. The 77 acres is adequately subdivided into compatible tracts as it now exists. If this project is approved, does this mean the owners of the other tracts can divide their parcels into comparable tracts? Also the nearest approved subdivision in Weld County , approximately 1 34 West on the South side of highway 60, was divided into 6, ten acre parcels (Inhen). 2. The applicants problems. if he has any, are the results of his own. He purchased this acreage and choose to create "the long narrow parcels. He has been approached by at least two parties to purchase this property. They both feel it would not be a problem to farm. As for my knowledge of agriculture in Weld County, it dates back to 1923 when I grew up on the family farm of 356 irrigated acres approxmmatly 15 miles S.E. of Greeley. Snider Brothers Dairy. was operated by my brother and I from 1947 - 1977 on the entire mentioned acreage. It was dissolved in 1978 due to health problems of my brother. My wife and I then bought the Smith tract of 16 acres in 1979 and ran a small sheep operation, and raised corn. Again due to health problems we sold to the DeMotts in September 1992, but we still have a financial interest in the property.

Septic Permits for existing septic systems installed in the vicinity in the 1970's indicate percolation rates ranging from 6 to 60 minutes per inch. This suggests heavy soils which confirms the observations of Engineering Geology Report sumitted by CDS Engineering Corporation on February 17, 1993. However, the actual percolation results were not included in the application. The report also mentions the presence of high ground water and at least one permit in the area reports ground water at 5 feet. This is also confirmed by records on at least one existing septic system where ground water was encountered at five feet. However, the engineering report does not include any soil profile data identifying the depth of ground water at the site. The depth to ground water and the percolation rates are necessary data in determining whether evapotranspiration systems may be required for the proposed homes. Section 6.1.C. of the Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations states that "No new subdivision will be approved by the Division if greater than 25% of the subdivision's septic systems are proposed to be evapotranspiration systems. The presence of high percolation rates and high ground water in the area cause the Division to be concerned with whether the applicant can comply with this point of the regulations. Any recommendation for approval of this proposal would be dependent on the applicant's ability to demonstrate that 25% or less of the proposed septic systems will require evapotranspiration systems.

EXHIBIT L94t mtmORAnDuf i iript Wi`,k Monica Mika Daniels December 13, 1993 To net= Lppmm��e')t\> Morrison, Assistant County Attorney COLORADO From ountain View I and II Subdivisions Subject: The information available to me regarding Mountain View I and II Subdivisions indicates that there is an issue regarding access to the proposed subdivisions which needs to be resolved before the development can go forward. The easement upon which the developer appears to rely appears to have been executed in 1974 , but not recorded until 1982 and property owners who purchased in the interim would not have had recorded notice that the property was burdened by the easement. There could be some argument that the easement was visible and actually was in use and might provide sufficient notice. There is additionally an issue as to whether the easement is being proposed to be improved to the extent that it is a greater burden on the servient estate it crosses by increasing the number of lots using the easement. The existing easement might not be sufficient for the added use. There is an additional problem where it appears that property owners outside the subdivision may be entitled to use the easement and are not entitled to representation within a homeowners group which is charged with the maintenance of the easement. The issues of increased burden and whether the servient landowners had notice of the easement when they acquired the property are ones over which the District Court has jurisdiction. Without further information, I could not indicate that there is adequate access at this time. Therefore, a requirement that a court adjudication be obtained confirming the rights of the developer to use the easement for the purposes proposed or conveyances or dedications confirming the developer' s right to use that easement for access to the subdivisions needs to be provided before access could be found to be adequate .

Weld County . The case number is #S-347 applied by a Mr . Ivar Larson . I have recently purchased the land that borders this plot to the East , We decided to purchase property in Weld County because of the obvious intentions of the county , to keep subdivisions close to highly populated areas . The 2 1/2 acre plots that are being proposed quite simply are not compatable with the surrounding acreages . This area is very important to agriculture , and the proposal for a subdivision not only puts the above mentioned plot in jeopardy, but the surrounding properties as well , as there is inadequate domestic water supply, poor perculation of septics , and the existing irrigation system will surely not survive such a change . I can only hope that the Planning Board will continue to preserve our agriculture lands , and disapprove this proposed subdivision.

The purpose of the minor subdivision as outlined under Sec. 4.1 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance is to make the review process simpler when considering small subdivision with a maximum of 6 lots. The submittal of Mountain View Estates #1 & #2, having 4 and 5 lots respectively, is an obvious effort to create 9 lots and avoid the normal subdivision process. These two platings should not be viewed separately and should be required to be submitted as one application. Access onto State Highway 60 will have to be reviewed by the Colorado Department of Transportation. Considering the traffic on State Highway 60, and the traffic that would be generated from a 9 lot subdivision, I suspect the State Highway Access Code will require the construction of turn lanes. The sketch plan indicates a 24' wide roadway inside a 30' dedicated right-of-way. This leaves 3' on either side of the road which is not enough for any kind of maintenance. The sketch plan also indicates a 25' easement on the west side and a 30' easement on the east side. This leaves a total corridor 90' in width. I recommend a 60' right-of-way be provided along with the appropriate utility easements on all perimeter and lot lines as required by the subdivision regulations. The geometry and right-of-way of the cul-de-sac is unclear. The easements for the lake ditch and the home supply ditch should be included on the final plat. The road cross section supplied is adequate with the exception of the 12" culvert size. I recommend a minimum of 18" because of maintenance problems with smaller diameter pipes. The sizing of the ditches should be included in the final drainage report. There is no technical or support data provided with any of the drainage information. Brief statements are made in an effort to address the requirements of Sec. 10. 11. In general, the conclusion is there will be no change in run-off or change in existing patterns. Those conclusions may well be correct, but prior to proceeding to final plating all maps , computations and technical support must be provided. For example, a ditch and culverts are planned on the west side of the road that will drain a substantial area and direct it to a crossing under State Highway 60. The adequacy of that system and the improvements will have to be addressed. Also, there are existing irrigation ditches that will effect the site. The information provided in this submittal is minimal. Therefore, at the time of final plating there may be comments on items not apparent at this time. DS\pds:mchuck cc: Commissioner Baxter J.

The projects, as proposed, represent the minor subdivision of two contiguous tracts in the NE 1/4, S.5, TAN., R.68W. The projects have frontage on Colorado Highway 60 and an existing public assess easement. The two parcels of land are located in the Loveland Urban Growth Area. The properties in the immediate vicinity are largely residential rural estate homesites, existing farm houses, and mobile homes. At present, there are 14 homes located within one-quarter mile of the property and the minor subdivision of the Lebsack farm is located less than one mile to the east. The proposed subdivisions are compatible with the existing homesites in that the proposed lots are similar to those in the area and the proposed homes will be of equal or better quality than the homes which currently exist in the area. All services currently exist in the vicinity of the site. The applicants, Ivar and Donna Larson, have owned this property since 1972 and have continuously farmed it. As you may or may not know, they operate several farms in Colorado and Kansas. The Larsons are well aware of the agricultural characteristics of this property and have first hand experience with how the development and building in this area have made these parcels extremely difficult to farm. These parcels are long and narrow and are bounded on all sides, except one narrow end, by residential property. Specific difficulties which are obvious problems are indicated below: 1. Any spraying to control weeds or insects is virtually impossible due to the proximity of houses and horses. Aerial spraying is impossible. 2. Loose horses from the neighboring estates have been a problem on crop land from time to time. 2 EXHIBIT 1714 Topaz Dr Suite 215• Loveland. CO 80537•(303)6678010 �91 �2 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe, Director Page 2 July 6, 1993 3. The local irrigation lateral system is used to irrigate these parcels as well as the adjoining estates. Residents of the nearby estate properties are generally not knowledgeable concerning irrigation and are not raising cash crops, hence make the general effort required to irrigate these two parcels much more difficult. Children from the adjoining estate properties have caused minor vandalism to irrigation facilities. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses the various concerns which the Larsons have in the section entitled "Concerns of Farming as an Industry". The two tracts of land proposed for subdivision are no longer economically viable farms due to their size,proximity to other housing, and the additional production expense required to manage them due to the reasons previously stated. It should be emphasized that the proposed minor subdivision properties will be of similar size and quality to the residential rural estate properties already existing in this area and that these parcels are no longer economical or accessible for farming for profit. The proposed subdivision will allow more compatible field irrigation of all the homesites as the distribution basis will become less critical without cash crops involved. The area is currently served by public water, natural gas, State Highway 60 access and is within the Urban Growth area to the City of Loveland. The above facts illustrate that the development of the subject properties will be in compliance with the spirit of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan.

At the time we purchased it, there was no indication of an easement agreement with any landholders to the west. Ivar Larson did not record this agreement until 1982, five years after our purchase. The easement has never been shown on our legal plat of our land. The easement agreement which was recorded was an agreement between two landowners , not intended for use by owners of nine small acreages . We plan to question in court the legality of the expanded use of this easement. It appears that Mr. Larson has planned for the road for this subdivision to be halfway on our land. Mr. Larson, when he first talked about possibly using this piece of land, indicated that he would charge McEntees (who do have legal right to this road for access to their property, which is directly north of ours) and Kuehls for"improving our road" . We are concerned that he may still try to do this . We are very satisfied with our road just the way it is. It costs us nothing to maintain because we grade it and remove snow using horsepower (the Belgian horses which we raise) and horse drawn implements. The proposed covenants for Mountain View Estates I and II plans for the 9 landowners in the subdivision to maintain this road. There is no mention at all of the two landowners to the east (McEntees , who will continue to use this road. It seems that this will & Kuehl bring a lot of conflict to the neighborhood. For example, if the "homeowners ass 'n" decides the road needs more gravel, will they expect us to help pay, since half of it is on our land? If they don't maintain it to our satisfaction, do we then have to maintain it for traffic from nine residential homesites? That will probably mean between 15 and 20 more cars traveling up and down this road each day. EXXHIBIT Ia ROAD, cont. S-347 and S-348 The proposed covenants for Mtn View I and II subdivisions do not allow "any materials to interfere with maintenance of their utilities" , yet Larson plans to run his road right over our water line and natural gas line. Our water line has needed repair in the past from vehicles turning around on it. Will these subdivision dwellers want "their" road dug up if we need to repair a water line or look for a leak? Having half of the road on our property will mean moving the irrigation ditch which has run along the property line for at least 20 years. It would need to be moved east of the road in order to irrigate our fields. This would put an irrigation ditch right through the center of our farmyard. We Will be unable to turn around our two ton truck and 30 foot trailer or the semitrailers that occasionally visit our farm. I doubt that Mr. Larson is planning to enclose this ditch at his expense, and if he does offer to do this, will he then also be willing to pay to keep silt out of this enclosed pipe crossing our yard? One very large 16 year old tree would need to be cut down if the road goes where Larson proposes. There is no indemnity clause in the covenants to protect us from lawsuits from a subdivision dweller who becomes injured while driving, biking, riding horse, (or whatever) on our side of the property line. This is putting us at risk in order to save Mr. Larson the money of building his own road entirely on his own land. If he wants to reap these huge profits from subdividing within an existing subdivision, he should at least be required to not complicate the lives of surrounding landowners with conflicts over maintenance and risks of lawsuits . This proposed subdivision is harmful to our welfare in another way. We do hayrides for community groups with our Belgians as part of our business. We use roads and fields immediately within this vicinity. This is a significant part of our income during some years . Who will want to go on a horse-drawn hayride when it begins to look like a small city around here? We respectfully request that you vote for denial of this poorly planned subdivision proposal. Sincerely, Dennis W. Kuehl an K. Kuehl 1850 E.

Many of the statement are, at minimum, distortions of the truth. First of all , the 80 acres of which this proposed sub- division is a part is already divided in a reasonable manner. The lot sizes being proposed (2 . 5 acres ) are not similar or compatible witn sizes of adjoining rural estate homesites , nor with the continuing operation of the malor cron land which entirely surrounds this 80 acre subdivision. Maps to scale are attached to show the present subdivision or the land and Mr. Larson' s proposed changes . It ' s apparent that present lot sizes are similar and compatible with adjoining acreages and crop land. The Lebsack Subdivision which Mr. Donnelly referred to is in Larimer County, 1 1/4 mile northeast of Larson' s land, and the acreages are larger: four 7 acre lots west of Rd. 7 and one 8 acre, two 12 acre, and one larger lot east of Rd. 7 . It appears that these are also not similar to the lot sizes Mr. Larson is proposing. Yes, Mr. and Mrs . Larson have owned the land since 1972 , as stated, but they have not personally farmed it all those years . For almost all the years since purchase, the Larsons have leased the land to successful farmers in the area. The Reuben Brehm family, succeeded by his son, the Don Brehm family, profitably raised crops on this land for many years - corn, soy beans, and green beans . Mr. Brehm told me yesterday that he would still • lease it again if given the opportunity. Surely this man isn't raising crops just for the fun of it! It was also claimed in the letter from CDS that "building and development in this area have made this land hard to farm" - we have lived beside the land in question for 16 years , and have seen no building or development here, other than three pole sheds for animal shelter and hay storage. What is suddenly more difficult? Mr. Larson did personally raise alfalfa on the land last year and he harvested 99 of the very large square bales from this 25 acres , with no attempt to irrigate that we were aware of. 940392 S-347 £ S-348 , con; John Donnelly claims in his letter to the Manners that aerial spraying is impossible on this piece of land. :f this is really a problem, how will adding 9 small acreage res.cences impact operations by owners of the large crop land farms which entirely surround this subdivision? Interfering with oneration of productive crop land certainly doesn' t fit into the Weld County Comprehensive Plan! In 16 years , we have had few conflicts about the use of irrigation water with neighboring landowners . The major conflict was due to the fact that Mr. Larson constructed a new headgate without consulting any of the users , and then billed us all for it. We do consider the hay we raise a cash crop , as without it , we would need to purchase an equivalent amount of hay to feed the Belgian horses which we raise, train, sell, and use for hayrides in the area. We usually have approximately 15 horses at any one time, but Mr. Brehm can recall only having to call us one time about our horses being loose on his cropland. The other two main users of irrigation water grew up on irrigated farms and are totally knowledgeable in this area. Both raised "cash crops" - Dick Snider raised sweet corn to sell to the public, and Larry Starck maintains grass for his sheep. If irrigation has been a problem for Mr. Larson, who claims to be knowledgeable in agri-business , how will 9 owners of small acreages (many of whom will probably have little or no knowledge of how to irrigate) manage to use ditch water without wasting it , and without interfering with the reasonable use by adjoining farmers . "More compatible irrigation" will be achieved if the present 10 acre lot and 15 acre lot are sold in their present size, for rural estate homesites, as was intended when the land was subdivided originally. Mr. Donnelly in his letter claims that some of the only 4 children living in this immediate vicinity during the last 10 years caused "vandalism" to irritation facilities and equipment . If this is true, consider the impact of 5 - 10 more children living, playing, and "hunting" in the same space. Those of us who choose to remain here will still need to irrigate - the developer is obviously not considering anyone else ' s potential problems . Mr. Larson has suggested that if he doesn't get his way with this small acreage proposal, that he may request a special use permit for a high density feedlot. Since this is a large acreage residential subdivision, this is also a bizarre and totally in- appropriate idea. If he wishes to do something different with his land however, he certainly stands to make a great profit by selling the 10 acre and 15 acre lots just as they are. The 10 acre lots in the Ihnen subdivision which you recently approved are two miles closer to Loveland and are selling well. 340302 S-347 s S-348 , cont . The letter from CDS Engineering states that this is within the Loveland Urban Growth Area. It is difficult to say where Loveland' s Urban Growth Area ends in this area. Loveland City Council Members are at this very time struggling with a master use plan for the land all around Loveland. I have spoken with two city council members in the last two days , and they have indicated that this area of Weld County is "delicate" to deal with and will require some careful decision making. They spoke of the need to work out some agreements with Weld County before any further development takes place . (see attached newspaper article ) . Maybe this prime crop land should never have been divided at all , but for the reasons stated above, chopping it up into ever smaller pieces will only serve to produce one very wealthy person, create a drain on Weld County services in the distant areas of the county, and interfere with operation of surrounding crop land. It is certainly not in compliance with the spirit of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Weld County citizens have worked hard to produce a reasonable growth plan. Now those same citizens need you as planners and commissioners to carry out that plan. Please deny this request for Mountain View Estates I and II. Respectfully, Dennis W. Kuenl can K. Kuehl 1850 E.

This is our legal notice to you of our decision. This decision is not meant to deny our claim to the shared easement and should not be interpreted so as to jeopardize our claim to current and future use of the shared easement which was filed and recorded as part of the Recorded Exemption #1061-5-1-RE 126 approved by Weld County in 1974. This parcel of ground is no longer suitable for crops because of the residential pressure.

Monica Daniels-Mika Current Planner Weld County Administrative Offices 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Ms . Daniels-Mika: The purpose of this letter is to register my protest against the proposed subdivisions referred to as Mountain View Estates I and II located in the NE 1/4 , Section 5 , Township 4 North, Range 68 West, Weld County, Colorado. For your consideration, I offer two interrelated reasons for objection to the subdivisions . 1. If I understand correctly, the 25 acres under consideration is designated as "agricultural. " Does Weld County approve of plots of only 2 . 5 acres under this designation? It seems that each unit should consist of at least 10 acres so that an agricultural purpose can be applied. 2 . This acreage is very close to a body of water into which water from the surrounding areas seeps . This wetland is home or a stopping place for a wide variety of birds , particularly because, for them, it is a marvelous source of food. With an increased number of homes and people in the immediate area, the result would very likely create both an added pollution threat from septic tank leaching and added noise polution from people and vehicles . Nearby farmers , who have water rights to this body of water, keep the water at an acceptable level by using it for irrigation of crops and for drinking by livestock . I shall appreciate your support. Sincerely yours, Hazel M. Carlson EXHIBIT 171. 7 _ 940392 7 7 L "jet 7 L 7 LTc/'.� • 7 IL L2 d �C>"IG-71 % L�°-;> =C 2C. 2& 3t, ./`/co 777. 74 .

I 02 December 8, 1993 Monica Daniels-Mika, Current Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Ms. Daniels-Mika: This letter is in regard to the upcoming public hearing on case number S-347. As nearby !and owners, my wife and I heartily oppose this request being made by Nar and Donna Larson for a minor subdivision. We have listed some strong reasons for it to be denied. 1. Incompatibility with existing surrounding acreage 2. Leapfrog development 3. Threat of nine septic tanks polluting the irrigation ponds inhabited by federally protected water fowl and shore birds, and also to livestock watering 4. Difficulty with aerial spraying for surrounding major crop land 5. Increased traffic and transportation problems 6. Zoning 7. Noise When we purchased our property twenty-three years ago and started building our home and livestock facilities, it was our belief the Weld County's zoning and growth plan included concentrating growth around existing municipalities. It appears to us that this subdivision proposal does not ft the intent of the Weld County Comprehension plan. We sincerely hope that Weld County perceives agriculture and farmland as an absolute necessity and upholds these beliefs. Our trust and future are in the hands of the Weld County Planning Commissioners, please do not let this request be approved. Sincerely, i Lawrence H. Starck Mary F.
