The request is not in conformance with Section 21.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: a. The proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan Agricultural, Urban Growth, Residential, Public Facilities and Services, Transportation, and Environmental Quality and Natural Resources Goals and Policies. The following goals and policies which apply to the proposed Change of Zone are identified. (1) AGRICULTURAL - This proposal is not consistent with Agricultural Goals 1, 2, and 4. Additionally, this proposal is not consistent with Agricultural Policies 1, 3, 4, and 10. 940823 (o: Pt-1M g-nil) C beILP_S CHANGE OF ZONE - MARTIN BROTHERS PARTNERSHIP PAGE 2 The Agricultural Zone District is intended to preserve prime agricultural land and to provide areas for agricultural activities and uses dependent upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. The soil at this location has been identified as prime agricultural land by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Allowing residential uses in this location will remove this prime resource from production. Agricultural Goal 4 seeks to "encourage residential . . . development to locate adjacent to any existing incorporated municipalities". The proposed Change of Zone is approximately 21 miles away from the nearest municipality, and therefore, not adjacent to any existing incorporated municipality and constitutes leap-frog development. (2) URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARIES - This proposal is not consistent with Urban Growth Boundary Goals 1 and 2 and Urban Growth Boundary Policies 1 and 2. The Urban Development Goals and Policies are designed to plan for anticipated growth by directing urban uses and development to existing cities . . . which can provide the necessary urban services. The Urban Development Section of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses the preservation of prime agricultural land by considering its relationship to the entire system of land use and development within the County and the region. These goals and policies reflect a basic commitment to conserving natural and managed resources while directing growth. The first Urban Growth Boundary Goal is to: "Concentrate urban development in or adjacent to existing municipalities". This proposal is 21 miles from Fort Lupton. Fort Lupton's referral response indicated they need more information concerning the water supply before making a decision. The Planning Commission expressed concern about the Foxhill aquifer running out of water and the Speer Canal which replenishes Fort Lupton's water source. (3) RESIDENTIAL - This proposed Change of Zone to Estate is not consistent with Residential Goals 2 and 3 and Residential Policies 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. 2407021 B-1459 P-969 09/16/94 04:50P PG 2 OF 5 940823 CHANGE OF ZONE - MARTIN BROTHERS PARTNERSHIP PAGE 3 Adequate public services and facilities are not available to serve the site, because public water and public access is not available. Developing a site without public facilities is not cost-efficient to develop. This Change of Zone would commit an area ill- prepared for residential development. Additionally, this location does not encourage a compact form of development, since the nearest municipality is approximately 21 miles from this site. Finally, residential development is not compatible with the surrounding agricultural land uses and the adjacent brine-water disposal facility. (4) PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES - This proposal is not consistent with Public Facility and Service Goals 1 and 2 and Public Facility and Service Policies 4 and 6. Sites served by public water and public roads currently exist within the County, and these areas would be more efficient and cost-effective to develop. Adequate facilities and services, including public water and public access, do not serve this site. Public water needs to be in place to make this a viable development site according to the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. According to the Comprehensive Plan, urban uses removed from existing municipalities should be discouraged. No public facilities for this location are provided by a municipality because the proposal is not near any municipalities. (5) TRANSPORTATION - This proposal is not consistent with Transportation Goals 1, 4, and 5 and is inconsistent with Transportation Policies 1, 4, and 7. This development is not efficient or economical since public access does not exist to the site. Transportation Policy #7 indicates the County should emphasize maintenance and upgrade facilities rather than building new. (6) ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND NATURAL RESOURCE - This proposed Change of Zone to Estate from Agricultural is inconsistent with Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Goals 1 and 3 and not consistent with Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Policy 9.a. 2407021 B-1459 P-969 09/16/94 04:50P PG 3 OF 5 940823 CHANGE OF ZONE - MARTIN BROTHERS PARTNERSHIP PAGE 4 Brine facilities located adjacent to residential developments are not compatible. The applicant's geologic report indicates groundwater contamination associated with the brine water facility should be taken into account when considering water wells. The applicants are proposing water wells as the water supply, yet the groundwater appears to be contaminated by adjacent land uses. Attached is a letter dated August 26, 1993, from Stephen Laudeman of the Colorado Department of Health, which determines the brine facility, Weld County Waste Disposal, has "impacted the shallow ground water in the vicinity of this facility". The health, safety, and welfare of Weld County citizens will not be enhanced if Estate Zoning is approved adjacent to this brine water disposal facility with contaminated groundwater and soils. b. The uses which would be allowed in the proposed E (Estate) Zone District would not be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses which include a brine water disposal facility, which is northwest of and virtually adjacent to the subject property, pasture, a rural subdivision and oil and gas production. c. The applicants have not demonstrated an adequate public water supply is available to the site. Section 36.2.1. 1 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance specifically states a single family dwelling in the E (Estate) Zone District shall be connected to a public water supply. The applicants have proposed individual wells for each proposed lot, and individual wells do not constitute a public water supply. Additionally, the State Division of Water Resources has indicated the proposed water well supply plan does not appear to be a viable water supply plan. Therefore, denial of this Change of Zone would be in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. The applicants have proposed utilizing septic systems as the sewage disposal system; however, the Platte Valley Soil Conservation District indicated caution should be used in the installation of septic systems because of potential contamination of irrigation and domestic wells. d. Because the site is not currently served by any Weld County roads, access to the site is inadequate to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district. The application materials did not express a willingness to upgrade the highway facilities at the applicant's expense. 2407021 B-1459 P-969 09/16/94 04:50P PG 4 OF 5 940823 CHANGE OF ZONE - MARTIN BROTHERS PARTNERSHIP PAGE 5 e. The applicant has not demonstrated soils with moderate limitations on site can be overcome. Soils 44 and 72-74 have moderate limitations when used for local roads and streets due to low strength. This limitation covers over 50 percent of the site. Any internal roads at this site may well be inadequate given the noted limitations. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the application of Martin Brothers Partnership requesting a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to E (Estate) on the above referenced parcel of land be, and hereby is, denied. The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and seconded, adopted by the following vote on the 7th day of September, A.D. , 1994.

H. Webster, Chairman Commissioner Dale K. Hall, Pro-Tem Commissioner George E. Baxter Commissioner Constance L. Harbert Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison Planning Department representative, Keith Schuett The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated August 17, 1994, and duly published August 18, 1994, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Martin Brothers Partnership for a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to E (Estate) . Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Keith Schuett, Planning Department representative, entered the unfavorable recommendation of the Planning Commission into the record as written. John Martin, applicant, was present and stated, in 1985, a subdivision was approved containing 23 five-acre tracts, and this proposed subdivision is 200 acres. He stated the land is sandy loam and is not good farming ground, which was confirmed by a geologist's report stating the ground is more suitable for urban development than farming. Mr. Martin stated the Brighton Soil Conservation Service also confirmed the property is not prime farm land, except for limited areas containing Soil 44 if irrigated. He explained the ground has never been farmed and is only pasture and sagebrush. He noted the proposed development would greatly increase the property taxes and stated there are 33 five-acre sites proposed. In response to a question from Chairman Webster, Mr. Martin explained the surrounding land uses which include housing on two five-acre lots, pasture, and the abovementioned subdivision, known as the Martin PUD. He submitted an aerial photo of the area, which was marked as Exhibit H for the record. Bill Childs, Childs and Company, noted on the site map that the areas in red were houses. Mr. Martin explained there is a ridge running through the area; therefore, it is not farmable and has been developed. Mr. Childs stated seven or eight houses have been constructed in the Martin PUD, and all lots are sold with plans of building. Commissioner Harbert referred to the Transportation Goals and Policies and questioned the access. Mr. Martin stated the roads in the Martin PUD were built to Weld County standards and presently the access is limited; however, a bridge will be built across the Speer Ditch and Weld County Road 10 will be built up to the property for access. He reiterated all roads in the proposed subdivision will be built to County standards. After further discussion concerning the roads, Mr. Martin confirmed there were no objections from the schools, fire department, Sheriff's Office, etc. In response to Commissioner Hall, Mr. Martin said the State has no objection to lot wells for the proposed water source, and it was recommended the individual lot wells be 800 to 1000 feet deep. Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted that Section 36.2.1. 1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires connection to a public water supply. Mr. Schuett confirmed the application does not comply with the basic district requirements for public water. Mr. Martin stated the site is approximately three miles away from public water. (Changed to Tape #94-36. ) Mr. Martin reiterated 940823 : i �- RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - MARTIN BROTHERS PARTNERSHIP PAGE 2 the State had no problems with the water supply for the house, lawn, etc. , and there were no restrictions. Mr. Schuett noted the number of acres to be irrigated outside the residence were restricted by the State. Commissioner Kirkmeyer questioned whether the proposed individual wells constitute a public water supply. Commissioner Harbert agreed with the Planning Commission and staff that the Zoning Ordinance must be followed. Mr. Morrison referred to a letter dated July 22, 1994, from the State which included conditions concerning the water. Mr. Schuett reiterated that whether the wells are capable is not the issue; the regulations for basic district requirements require a public water supply. He noted the Martin PUD was approved in 1984 under the old Comprehensive Plan, which was revised in 1987. Mr. Childs stated the Planning staff recommended the Change of Zone to Estate rather than to PUD because of the open-space requirements. In response to a question from Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Childs stated staff notified them that the proposal did not meet the water requirements; however, the State and WRC Engineering estimated it would cost 1. 1 million dollars to create a public water supply. Commissioner Hall noted a letter dated June 22, 1994, from the State indicating it would cost $20, 000 per well. Mr. Childs clarified John's Drilling estimated $11,338.42 per well, which generated the State's letter dated July 27, 1994. Commissioner Kirkmeyer noted the 900-foot well at the Stoneham grader shed site was estimated to cost $18, 000 to $22,000. In response to a question from Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Schuett stated drilling to make a central water supply could be considered as a public water supply; however, it would have to meet State standards. Mr. Morrison stated a PUD for residential purposes also requires a public water supply and there are State requirements concerning the acceptable types of public water. After further discussion, Mr. Martin stated ground is supposed to be put to the highest and most beneficial use, and if this property is not used for residential, it is worthless. Commissioner Harbert stated perhaps residential is the best use; however, the safety and welfare of the people living there must be considered. She stated concern about utilities and reiterated the water supply must be public and adequate. Mr. Martin reiterated the State says the water supply is adequate and good. Commissioner Baxter stated the question is not whether the supply is adequate; the regulations require a public supply and must be abided by. Mr. Martin noted the State regulates water and he feels Weld County wants all development near the cities, which is using good farming ground. He reiterated the best use for this land is residential. Commissioners Baxter and Harbert agreed the site is a good area for housing; however it does not conform with Weld County regulations. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. In response to further questions from the Board, Mr. Martin reiterated the wells would be 800 to 900 feet so the water would not be limited and it would be better quality. Commissioner Harbert suggested Mr. Martin request a continuance and provide a public water supply and noted the proposal will require 33 wells at a cost of $600, 000 to $700,000. Mr. Martin reiterated the cost would be over one million dollars if a public water supply were used, which would make the cost of the lots too high, and the other subdivision has wells for each individual lot. Mr. Childs stated that all the lot owners in the Martin PUD went to the State and obtained the necessary well permits. He also noted that WRC Engineering recommended individual wells for each lot. Commissioner Baxter stated it is unfortunate that the regulations do not include "adequate water". Commissioner Hall stated, unfortunately, it is spelled out that public water is needed for Estate Zoning, and he also has concerns about the Urban Growth Boundary and the Comprehensive Plan; therefore, he incorporated the Planning Commission's concerns and moved to deny the request of Martin Brothers Partnership for a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to E (Estate) , based on the recommendations of the Planning staff and the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Harbert. Chairman Webster request.ed a roll-call vote. Commissioner Baxter stated he is having problems with this request and he does not believe Planning set regulations to be 940823 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - MARTIN BROTHERS PARTNERSHIP PAGE 3 punitive; however, this request cannot be allowed as the regulations are written. He noted the water is his only concern and voted nay. Commissioners Harbert and Kirkmeyer agreed with Commissioner Hall, voted aye, and stated there are other concerns. Chairman Webster voted nay, and the motion passed three to two. He suggested Mr. Martin work on the water situation. Mr. Martin stated this proposal was the property's only salvation. Mr. Morrison clarified, for the record, all standards are adopted by the Board of Commissioners by ordinance. This Certification was approved on the 12th day of September, 1994. y!//�� APPROVED: ATTEST:�� a PLL BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld County Clerk to e Board E id By: //LLsZ'A �� Webster hai man Deputy Cle to the :..rd Dale . a 1, ro em TAPE #94-35 and #94-36 ,eJJi4 eoe..E.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SW4 and part of the NW4 of Section 12, T1N, R66W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 3/4 miles south of Weld County Road 12 and approximately 3/4 miles west of Weld County Road 37. THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS REQUEST BE DENIED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. The submitted materials are not in compliance with the application requirements of Section 21. 7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. 2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 21.5 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: The proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan Agricultural, Urban Growth, Residential, Public Facilities and Services, Transportation, and Environmental Quality and Natural Resources Goals and Policies. The following goals and policies which apply to the proposed change of zone are identified. a. AGRICULTURAL - This proposal is not consistent with Agricultural Goals 1, 2, and 4. Additionally, this proposal is not consistent with Agricultural Policies 1, 3, 4, and 10. The agricultural zone district is intended to preserve prime agricultural land and to provide areas for agricultural activities and uses dependent upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. The soil at this location has been identified as prime agricultural land by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Allowing residential uses in this location will remove this prime resource from production. Agricultural Goal 4 seeks to "encourage residential. . . development to locate adjacent to any existing incorporated municipalities". The proposed change of zone is approximately 2-1/2 miles away from the nearest municipality, and therefore, not adjacent to any existing incorporated municipality and constitutes leap-frog development. w • EXHIBIT mac 940823 RECOMMENDATION, Z-489 Martin Brothers Partnership Page 2 b. URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARIES - This proposal is not consistent with Urban Growth Boundary Goals 1 and 2, and Urban Growth Boundary Policies 1 and 2. The urban development goals and policies are designed to plan for anticipated growth by directing urban uses and development to existing cities. . . which can provide the necessary urban services. The Urban Development Section of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses the preservation of prime agricultural land by considering its relationship to the entire system of land use and development within the County and the region. These goals and policies reflect a basic commitment to conserving natural and managed resources while directing growth. The first urban growth boundary goal is to, "Concentrate urban development in or adjacent to existing municipalities". This proposal is 2-1/2 miles from Fort Lupton. Fort Lupton's referral response indicated they need more information concerning the water supply before making a decision. The Planning Commission expressed concern about the Foxhill aquifer running out of water and the Speer Canal which replenishes Fort Lupton's water source. c. RESIDENTIAL - This proposed change of zone to Estate is not consistent with Residential Goals 2 and 3 and Residential Policies 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Adequate public services and facilities are not available to serve the site, because public water and public access is not available. Developing a site without public facilities is not cost-efficient to develop. This change of zone would commit an area ill-prepared for residential development. Additionally, this location does not encourage a compact form of development, since the nearest municipality is approximately 2 1/2 miles from this site. Finally, residential development is not compatible with the surrounding agricultural land uses and the adjacent brine-water disposal facility. d. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES - This proposal is not consistent with Public Facility and Service Goals 1 and 2 and Public Facility and Service Policies 4, and 6. 940823 RECOMMENDATION, Z-489 Martin Brothers Partnership Page 3 Sites served by public water and public roads currently exist within the county and these areas would be more efficient and cost- effective to develop. Adequate facilities and services, including public water and public access, do not serve this site. Public water needs to be in place to make this a viable development site according to the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. According to the Comprehensive Plan, urban uses removed from existing municipalities should be discouraged. No public facilities for this location are provided by a municipality because the proposal is not near any municipalities. e. TRANSPORTATION - This proposal is not consistent with Transportation Goals 1, 4, and 5, and is inconsistent with Transportation Policies 1, 4, and 7. This development is not efficient or economical since public access does not exist to the site. Transportation Policy #7 indicates the County should emphasize maintenance and upgrade facilities rather than building new. f. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND NATURAL RESOURCE - This proposed change of zone to Estate from Agricultural is inconsistent with Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Goals 1 and 3 and not consistent with Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Policy 9.a. Brine facilities located adjacent to residential developments are not compatible. The applicant's geologic report indicates groundwater contamination associated with the brine water facility should be taken into account when considering water wells. The applicants are proposing water wells as the water supply, yet the groundwater appears to be contaminated by adjacent land uses. Attached is a letter dated August 26, 1993, from Stephen Laudeman of the Colorado Department of Health, which determines the brine facility, Weld County Waste Disposal has "impacted the shallow ground water in the vicinity of this facility". The health, safety, and welfare of Weld County citizens will not be enhanced if Estate zoning is approved adjacent to this brine water disposal facility with contaminated groundwater and soils. The uses which would be allowed in the proposed E (Estate) zone district would not be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses which include a brine water disposal facility, which is northwest of and virtually adjacent to the subject property, pasture, a rural subdivision and oil and gas production. 940823 RECOMMENDATION, Z-489 Martin Brothers Partnership Page 4 The applicants have not demonstrated an adequate public water supply is available to the site. Section 36.2.1.1 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance specifically states a single family dwelling in the E (Estate) zone district shall be connected to a public water supply. The applicants have proposed individual wells for each proposed lot, and individual wells do not constitute a public water supply. Additionally, the State Division of Water Resources has indicated the proposed water well supply plan does not appear to be a viable water supply plan. Therefore, denial of this change of zone would be in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. The applicants have proposed utilizing septic systems as the sewage disposal system, however, the Platte Valley Soil Conservation District indicated caution should be used in the installation of septic systems because of potential contamination of irrigation and domestic wells. - Because the site is not currently served by any Weld County roads, access to the site is inadequate to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district. The application materials did not express a willingness to upgrade the highway facilities at the applicant's expense. - The applicant has not demonstrated soils with moderate limitations on-site can be overcome. Soils 44 and 72-74 have moderate limitations when used for local roads and streets due to low strength. This limitation covers over 50 percent of the site. Any internal roads at this site may well be inadequate given the noted limitations. 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. 940823 REFERRAL LIST NAME: Martin Brothers Partnership CASE NUMBER: Z-489 REFERRALS SENT: June 3, 1994 REFERRALS TO BE RECEIVED BY: June 17, 1994 COUNTY TOWNS and CITIES Attorney Ault ,--"r X Health Department Brighton _Extension Service Broomfield Emergency Management Office Dacono X Sheriff's Office Eaton X Engineering _Erie Housing Authority Evans Airport Authority Firestone Building Inspection 14.IP- X Fort Lupton Frederick STATE Garden City t0" • X Division of Water Resources Gilcrest X Geological Survey Greeley Department of Health Grover Department of Transportation Hudson Historical Society Johnstown Water Conservation Board Keenesburg gr .

Division 1, W. District 2 Dear Mr. Thompson: We have received information from WRC Engineering Inc., related to the water supply for this proposal to subdivide a 195.47 acre parcel into 33 lots with an average size of 5 acres. The water supply is to be from wells. There is water available in the underlying not non-tributary Lower Arapahoe aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 140 and 350 feet below the ground surface,however in order to utilize this water, the applicant must have a Division 1 Water Court decreed plan to augment post pumping depletions. Additional water is available in the deeper non-tributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer,where the producing sands are located between about 800 and 1,080 feet below the ground surface, which can be obtained with an appropriate well permit. The analysis submitted indicated that a central supply system may cost in excess of one million dollars and does not appear to be a cost effective option. The report concludes that individual on lot wells would be the preferred option from an overall cost standpoint. The county may consider encouraging the applicants to adopt conservation measures in order to extend the life of the aquifer. The information on well construction costs submitted to our office by John's Drilling Inc., indicated that a well constructed to 920 feet below the ground surface (in an area where the bottom of the aquifer is located about 1,080 feet below the ground surface), cost a little over $11,000.00. In all likelihood, in order to extract all of the water available in the Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer over the projected 100 year aquifer life this well will need to be deepened or a new well constructed to the bottom of the aquifer. We have no objection to the proposal with individual on lot wells in the Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer as the water supply. We recommend that the utfonttatiort in this letter be made available to prospective lot purchasers. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact me. tiaSincerely, cLA AA2 AA/John Schurer, P.E.

Greg Thompson, To Current Planner pate June 15, 1994 COLORADO From Donald R. Carroll. Administrative Coordinator Svc Subject: Martin Brothers Partnership Chan. - of lone, 7-4S9 I have reviewed the application and have many of the same comments as my prior memo dated March 25, 1994 at the subdivision stage, S-355 . Some additional comments and concerns are: Does the applicant have proof of right-of-way to access the proposed parcel on the south side of Road 10, or an agreement for dedication from the existing property owner? The applicant indicates access through WCR 35 to be extended to the south to provide egress to Block one. Is the applicant prepared to upgrade to county standards, the access on WCR 35 to the facility if the right-of-way is available? The access on WCR 10 would be coming through the Sunny Acres Subdivision. If the traffic from the new 33 single-family resident units generates more than 200 ADT on WCR 10, we would be looking at some dust control or possibly paving this stretch of road.

There are three plugged and abandoned wells under the property, located at 660' FSL, 660' FWL; 665' FSL, 665' FWL; and 1980' FSL, 660' FWL. All of these should-be cut off below ground level. Our recommendation is to avoid siting any structures over these locations and, should any casings be encountered during excavation anywhere within the proposed area, that we be contacted.

Division 1, W. District 2 We previously commented on this proposal to subdivide a 195.47 acre parcel into 33 lots with an average size of 5 acres, in our letter of April 5, 1994. The water supply is to be from wells, however the only information provided with this submittal is from our previous letter. Our previous letter indicated that there is water available in the underlying not non-tributary Lower Arapahoe aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 140 and 350 feet below the ground surface. Based on a 100 year aquifer life, a well on a 5 acre parcel could make annual diversion of approximately 0.8 acre feet. This amount would be sufficient to allow for ordinary household purposes inside one single family dwelling and irrigation of about 10,000 square feet of lawn or garden. A Water Court decreed plan for augmentation of post pumping stream depletions would be required before well permits could be issued in this aquifer. It appears as though non-tributary water in the Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer could be used as the source of augmentation water. Although water is available in the deeper non tributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 800 and 1,100 feet below the ground surface, a properly constructed well completed to the bottom of this aquifer and equipped with an adequate pump, would probably cost more than $20,000.00. Because of the cost involved, individual on lot wells in this aquifer do not appear to be a viable water supply plan. The applicant could construct one or two -wells into this aquifer and use water from these wells to support a central supply system. We recommend that the applicants engineer perform an analysis of the water supply scenarios and identify the one most appropriate for this development. When we have reviewed the engineer's report, we will provide further comments. Until that time, we ask that this proposal be held in abeyance. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact John Schurer of this office. cerely, vrvs �� + EXHIBIT Purus ottam Dass, . . 2-7 Chief, Water Supply Branch North PD/JS/martin2 ?"

Division 1, W. District 2 We previously commented on this proposal to subdivide a 195.47 acre parcel into 33 lots with an average size of 5 acres, in our letter of April 5, 1994. The water supply is to be from wells, however the only information provided with this submittal is from our previous letter. Our previous letter indicated that there is water available in the underlying not non-tributary Lower Arapahoe aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 140 and 350 feet below the ground surface. Based on-a 100 year aquifer life, a well on a 5 acre parcel could make annual diversion of approximately 0.8 acre feet. This amount would be sufficient to allow for ordinary household purposes inside one single family dwelling and irrigation of about 10,000 square feet of lawn or garden. A Water Court decreed plan for augmentation of post pumping stream depletions would be required before well permits could be issued in this aquifer. It appears as though non-tributary water in the Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer could be used as the source of augmentation water. Although wateris available in the deeper non tributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 800 and 1,100 feet below the ground surface, a properly constructed well completedto the bottom of this aquifer and equipped with an adequate pump, would probably cost more than $20,000.00. Because of the cost involved, individual on lot wells in this aquifer do not appear to be a viable water supply plan. The applicant could construct one or two wells into this aquifer and use water from these wells to support a central supply system. We recommend that the applicants engineer perform an analysis of the water supply scenarios and identify the one most appropriate for this development. When we have reviewed the engineer's report, we will provide further comments. Until that dine, we ask that this proposal be held in abeyance. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact John Schurer of this office. cerely, �S I Puns ottam Dass, .

Intersection of C.R. 12 and C.R. 35 Weld County Dear Mr. Thompson: At your request and in accordance with S.B. 35 (1972), we have reviewed the materials submitted for and made a field inspection of the site of the proposed residential subdivision referenced above. The following comments summarize our findings. (1) We concur completely with all of the findings and recomendations made in the submitted report by Judith L. Hamilton, P.E. Especially relevant are her concerns that every building site have a soils and foundation investigation prepared by a qualified soils and foundation engineer. In addition, we strongly concur that some monitoring of the ground- water quality in the vicinity should be done. The possibility that leakage from the waste- water disposal ponds has occurred or is occurring should be verified and corrective action, if any is necessary, should be taken. (2) The topography of the site is indicative of the wind-deposited materials which immediately underlie it. Because of this, there are several deflation basins (closed depressions formed by wind eddies which remove sand and silt) on the parcel. These could present drainage problems during heavy precipitation events and, depending on exactly how lots are laid out and where improvements are to be placed, some or all of the site may need to be regraded. For this reason, the proponent should consult with a drainage engineer before finalizing a plat.

EXHIBIT '40823 1-1 � ' JUL 1 =; 1994 WIT ENGINEERING, pr. ._t,,%min July 18, 1994 Mr. John Martin 915 Denver Avenue Fort Lupton, Colorado 80621 WRC File: 1862/1 Dear Mr. Martin: At the request of Ms. Judith L. Hamilton, your consulting geologist and engineer, WRC Engineering, Inc. (WRC) undertook the task of preparing a cost estimate of a community water supply system for the Martin Brothers PUD Project. The subject property is comprised of approximately 195 acres and is located in the W'/2 of Section 12, T1N, R66W, Weld County, Colorado. Our services as set forth in our proposal, P-843 dated July 15, 1994, included review of existing information related to the project, determine water supply requirements, determine number of deep wells needed, size the water storage and distribution system facilities, prepare a cost estimate of the proposed facilities for a community water supply system; and prepare a letter report documenting the findings, conclusions, and recommendations. It is our understanding that the planned unit development is comprised of 33 lots, each approximately 5 acres in size. The purpose of this study is to estimate the cost of a community water supply system. The potential source of water is to be from groundwater sources, including both tributary and non-tributary sources from Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Formations in the Denver Basin Aquifer. A check of the inforamtion available to us shows the presence of both Lower Arapahoe and Laramie- Fox Hills Formations underlying the subject property. A determination of the tributary and non-tributary nature of the water in these formations is considered to be outside the scope of services of this study. However, from our experience with past projects in the area we believe that water in the Laramie-Fox Hills is non-tributary. Based on the size of the property, the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer sand thickness and its specific yield we estimate the amount of water available for the development of the property to be approximately 0.24 acre-feet/per acre/per year, i.e. 46.9 acre-feet/per year. Similarly, we estimate the amount of water based on the applicable parameters from the Lower Arapahoe Formation to ximately EXHIBIT CONSULTING ENGINEERS -YS7 950 SOUTH CHERRY STREET• SUI I E 404 • DENVER. COLORADO 80222• (303)757-8513 • FAX (303)758-3;')8 Mr. John Martin July 18, 1994 WRC File: 1862/1 Page 2 0.16 acre-feet/per acre/per year, i.e. 31.2-acre-feet/per year. The total amount of water available for the development from both formations is approximately 78 acre-feet/pear year. Two separate wells would be needed to tap the two formations. Also, for safety and dependability considerations, we would recommend drilling two separate wells to supply the development. We estimate the depth of the wells to be 700 to 800 feet and 1100 to 1200 feet for the Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Formations, respectively. Based on the 33 proposed lots, occupancy of 3.5 persons per lot and a domestic water supply demand of 80 gallons per capita/per day, we estimate the in-house demands to be 10.35 acre-feet/per year. It is our understanding that each lot will have approximately 10,000 square feet of irrigated lawn. We estimate the water supply needed for irrigation purposes to be 30.3 acre-feet/per year. The total amount of water can be supplied from the Laramie-Fox Hills (non-tributary) Formation. We estimate the yield from the Laramie-Fox Hills Formation to be approximately 50 gallons per minute. Two wells tapping the Laramie-Fox Hills Formation will produce a minimum of 100 gallons per minute. Assuming pumping 70% of the time these wells should produce 113 acre-feet water/per year. This figure exceeds the total amount of water needed for the subject development. Water supply systems are designed to satisfy demands of different magnitudes occurring at different times and for different durations. These demands are generally described as the annual raw water requirement, maximum day requirement, maximum hour requirement, and fire flow requirement. The annual raw water requirement is met by diverting and storing raw water under existing State Water Laws and delivering amounts needed from these facilities to the treatment facilities. The maximum day requirement is met by providing adequate raw water supplies, adequate treatment capacity, -and adequate distribution facilities. The maximum hour requirement is met by providing adequate treated water storage and adequate distribution facilities. The fire flow requirement is generally met by providing the storage volume of water needed and a distribution system capable of conveying the necessary flow rate. Based on the proposed plat provided to us by Ms. Hamilton and Mr. Childs, we developed a preliminary layout of the water supply system. This system consisted of two wells tapping the Laramie-Fox Hills Formation, raw water supply mains connecting the wells to a storage tank and a water distribution system delivering water from the storage tank to the individual lots. Pumps to sustain pressure for a normal 940823 Mr. John Martin July 18, 1994 WRC File: 1862/1 Page 3 water supply and fire flow capabilities are provided in the system. Further the system includes fire hydrants, valves, and other appurtenances as needed to provide a dependable water supply to the proposed development. A conceptual level cost estimate of the proposed water supply system is shown in Table-1 below. From the table the total cost system is $1,062,880.

These wells wouldtap the Lower Arapahoe Formation which is considered either tributary or not non-tributary in this area. We estimate the depth of these wells to be in he range of 800 to 900 feet deep. It is our understanding that wells in the project vicinity have been drilled and equipped to serve individual lots for a cost of approximately $11,000 each. In comparing the community-water supply system with individual wells one can clearly see that the initial cost of the individual system is more economical. In addition,-a community water supply system would require-a mechanism to fund the continuing operation and maintenance of the system and staff to administer and maintain the system. Based on the findings of this study we would recommend that the subject development be served by individual well for each lot.

Division 1, W. District 2 Dear Mr. Schurer: In reference to Mr. Dass's letter dated June 22, 1994, I would like to explain our experience in the Martin Brothers P.U.D. Amended Plat consisting of twenty-three five acre lots located adjacent to, and directly East of the proposed development. Between late 1993 and July of 1994 our firm has drilled and completed five water wells at a depth of 920 feet to 980 feet through the Laramie Fox-Hill aquifer. I have enclosed a statement for one of these wells drilled at a cost, to the homeowner, of$11,338.42. The other wells' cost is comparable. The homeowners in this area are aware of the cost and the value of individual wells and feel that the individual wells best meet their needs, both economically and functionally. From our experience with central water supply plans for this type of development, we would not recommend a community system. The installation, upkeep, and expense makes this type of system cost prohibitive for the homeowner. It often leads to disagreements and law suits among the owner-users over both the type of use and the amount of water used. The continuing cost of the upkeep of the system only adds to the problems. Our experience shows that the individual wells meet the needs of the homeowners more satisfactorily than a community system for lots and developments of this size and configuration.

CASE NUMBER: USR-1051 NAME: Richert E. and Carol L. Quinn ADDRESS: 3527 Range View Road, Greeley, CO 80634 REQUEST: A Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for an accessory building (horse barn) larger than 1,500 square feet (2,400 square feet) in theR-1 (Residential) zone district. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot 7, Block 2, Westridge, Fifth Filing, Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 300 feet south of the Greeley city limits, west of 65th Avenue and south of 24th Street. Glen Droegemueller, representative, stated the Quinns ' own the eleven lots in the fifth filing of Westridge Subdivision. They are building their home on lot 8 and would like to build a horse barn for no more ten horses on Lot 7. The barn will be 60 feet in length and one end will be 48 feet in width and the other end will be 36 feet in width. The total barn will not exceed over 2,400 square feet. The barn will also have a riding arena. This will just be for personal use. The height of the building will be 28 feet. Discussion followed. The Chairperson asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak for or against the application. Jerry Pault, surrounding property owner, stated he owns Lot 25 of Westridge Subdivision Fourth Filing, directly east of this site. His main concern is the height of the building and its effect on his view of the mountains. The Chairperson asked the applicant if he had read the staff recommendation and if he had any concerns or questions. Glen Droegemueller stated they had no concerns with the recommendation. 940823 MINUTES July 19, 1994 Page 3 Richard Kimmel moved that Case Number USR-1051 for a Site Specific Development Plan and a Special Review permit for an accessory building (horse barn) larger than 1,500 square feet (2,400 square feet) in the R-1 (Residential) zone district be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commis=ions ' recommendation for approval. Motion seconded by Juliette Kroekel. Richard Kimmel stated: "I think if this motion is passed between now and the time it goes to the Commissioners maybe these two could get together and work a slight variation of where this is proposed. I see it is square. Maybe it could be turned sideways a little bit and still serve the purpose, because I too would have concerns about the height and how far it could be built above the original grade. The height would not be a problem if this point was known. This is a concern I have and maybe it could be worked out before the Commissioners got it". The Chairperson asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Richard Kimmel - yes; Shirley Camenisch - yes, Juliette Kroekel - yes; Bud Clemons - yes; Ron Sommer - yes; Judy Yamaguchi - yes . Motion carried unanimously. Juliette Kroekel stated: "I hope you two can get together and work it out. I think it would be the best for both of you." Bud Clemons stated: "Staff could work with the applicant to maybe relocate the barn. You have 3.11 acres of land there. I am sure that is not the only building site on that 3 acres. I think it is more important for the staff to work with the applicant than the adjacent land owner, but if staff is satisfied with the plot plan that they are willing to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners then that would meet my concerns. Ron Sommer stated: "I believe we are in process with the Comprehensive Plan. If we are going to have R-1 Low-Density Residential districts and we have 1,500 square feet regulations and we will have to turn around and have to do Special Review permits on bigger barns it should be something they should address.

Rowland Place Littleton, Colorado Dear Mr. Childs: I have reviewed the report prepared by IOC, Inc. regarding the cost of a community water system for the Martin Brothers POD in the W-1/2 Section 12 , T1N, R66W, Weld County, Colorado. I concur with their findings that the cost of a central water system for the proposed development would be considerably greater than the cost of individual wells. Even using the State Engineer's office figure of 820,000 per well , the cost of 33 individual wells is considerably less than the cost of the community system. It is my opinion that Individual wells will provide a much more satisfactory and cost-effective system for this development than a community system.

Lupton per the Weld County Urban Growth Boundary Map. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan states under Urban Growth Boundary Policies that, "land use development proposals within an urban growth boundary shall be encouraged so long as they conform to the desires of the municipality as expressed in its comprehensive plan or by its land-use decision making body". Under Estate District Zoning, this proposal would be ideal in providing for compatibility between agricultural and residential zoning. The proposed zoning would be compatible with the agricultural policies of the Weld County Comprehensive plan and would not remove any prime agriculture land. Addendum Exhibit No. 1 21.7.4.4 See above statement (21.7.4.3) 21.7.4.5 Per the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, Section 36.1, "the Estate District is intended to provide the present and future residents of Weld County with areas in which to locate and establish residential land uses that are compatible with residential areas". This zoning is intended to create buildable acreage lots to facilitate a rural lifestyle and at the same time maintain a compatibility between rural and urban growth. 940823 Weld County Department of Planning, Page 2 The primary land use surrounding the proposed Estate rezoning is of two types; agriculture and a P.U.D. consisting of 23 five acre single family residential homes and lots. Weld County has already made the determination that low density development is compatible with the agricultural use in this area by the rezoning of the adjacent properties. The proposed rezoning is a continuance of already approved like development in this area. 21.7.4.6 The State of Colorado Water Commission has indicated that well permits will be issued to the owners of the proposed five acre lots as per addendum exhibit No. 2. The site will utilize on site septic systems installed per Weld County I S D S regulations. The site is suitable for septic systems. 21.7.4.7 The soil survey and study reveal no soils with moderate or severe limitations to the construction of structures on the site. Addendum Exhibit No. 3 - Soils Report. 21.7.4.8 Two County roads will provide access and circulation to and from the Block I of the proposed site. Weld Co Road 10 will be extended to the West and will provide ingress to Block 1. Weld Co. Road 35 will be extended to the South to provide egress to Block 1. Block 2 will be served by an extension of the existing Clara Lee Street in the Martin Brother's P. U. D. Amended Plat. 21.7.4.9 The mineral resource report confirms that there are no economically feasible sand gravel or other mineral resources suitable for commercial recovery, now and in the future located on or under the site. Addendum Exhibit No. 4. 21.7.4.10 Per Weld County Maps, the proposed site is not located within an Overlay District (Flood, Airport, or Geological). 940823 tar i u e.i i li 43AMcn FI TED TITLE GREELYmerrlxwAaivetnrr.'al, ,.f•. ,, .,- -, 762 Itw.aad .b,d..:.................dellak c.,_r.

Division 1, W. District 2 Dear Mr. Thompson: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 195.47 acre parcel into 33 lots with an average size of 5 acres. The water supply is to be from individual on lot wells, however no water supply report was included. A preliminary review under Senate Bill 5 rules indicates that there is water available in the underlying not non-tributary Lower Arapahoe aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 140 and 350 feet below the ground surface. Based on a 100 year aquifer life, a well on a 5 acre parcel could make annual diversion of approximately 0.8 acre feet. This amount would be sufficient to allow for ordinary household purposes inside one single family dwelling and irrigation of about 10,000 square feet of lawn or garden. A Water Court decreed plan for augmentation of post pumping stream depletions would be required before well permits could be issued in this aquifer. Water is also available in the deeper non tributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer, where the producing sands are located between about 800 and 1,100 feet below the ground surface. Based on a 100 year aquifer life, a well on a 5 acre parcel could make annual diversion of approximately 1.1 acre feet. This amount would be sufficient to allow for ordinary household purposes inside one single family dwelling and irrigation of about 16,000 square feet of lawn or garden. Although no augmentation is required, the deeper wells will be considerably more costly than those in the Lower Arapahoe aquifer. Irrigation of additional lawn or garden area may be permitted for the larger lot sizes when a well permit application is evaluated for each specific lot. Please note that these values are approximate values. When application for individual well permit is filed, we will conduct a site specific analysis to closely estimate the amount of water available under each lot. Although watering of domestic animals is not mentioned in the submittal materials, if this use is indicated on the well permit applications, the watering of up to 4 domestic animals may be allowed for each 1,000 square feet of irrigated area relinquished. Plat notes should identify the aquifer that will supply the subdivision, the depth below ground surface to the producing sands and the limitations on well use. LI APR 0 9 1994 5 _ .4 w+.,.."yr Planning 940823 Mr. Greg Thompson April 5, 1994 Page 2 The plat shows the Speer Canal transverse the subdivision. Plat notes should address the limitations on activity adjacent to the canal in order to preserve its integrity and operability. Any construction adjacent to the canal should be coordinated with the owner/ operator of the canal. We have no objection to this proposal with individual wells in the not non-tributary Lower Arapahoe aquifer operatring under a Water Court Decreed plan for augmentation. We could not recommend final approval until the required augmentation plan is decreed. We have no objection to this proposal with wells in the non-tributary Laramie Fox-Hills aquifer as the water supply. We recommend that a copy of this letter be provided to prospective lot purchasers. If you have any questions in this matter, please contact John Schurer of this office. • Purus ottam Dass, P.E.

The purpose of my investigations was to determine the geologic and geohydrologic conditions on the property which might affect the proposed development . i understand that a planned unit development of 34 lots, each approximately 5 acres in size, is planned, with individual wells and sewage disposal systems. CONCLUSIONS 1 . The site is suitable for the proposed development from a geologic and hydrogeologic standpoint provided adequate assurances can be obtained that contamination from the Weld County Waste Disposal facilities located north of the property will not adversely affect the property. 2 . It is strongly recommended that individual soils investigations be made at the location of each proposed structure, and that foundations be designed by a qualified soils engineer to take site- specific conditions. 3 . Percolation rates are likely to be high to very high due to the very sandy nature of the uppermost soils. To minimize potential for contamination, adequate distance should be maintained between leaching fields and well, and wells should be adequately sealed to JUN 3 '94 14:45 303 238 5219 PRGE.003 940823 SE\T BY:TFHE: COPY CE\TER ; 6- 3-94 ; 3:46PM ; NINKOS 303 351 0978;# 4/16 prevent inflow of surface water and shallow ground water. Individual percolation tests should be conducted at each building site to provide information for proposed design of the system. 4. Shallow ground water levels are expected to be well below basement depth. However, locally where seepage occurs from the Speer Canal or from the waste disposal pond, or where perched water occurs on clay layers, water levels may be higher. Borings for foundation investigations should be utilized for water level measurements, and if ground water levels are less than 10 feet below ground surface adequate peripheral drainage should be provided where basements are planned. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE The property is located on the east side of Weld County Road 35 north of what would be County Road 10 . The Speer Canal runs along the east property boundary. The canal is about 15-20 feet wide with banks about 3-6 feet high, The canal was dry at the time of my investigation May 30 . However, water had been running recently as evidenced by ripples in the sand bottom of the creek, weL material in side of the canal, and isolated ponded water. The land i.s rolling, with elevations ranging from about 5030 feet at the northeast corner of the property to about 5100 feet near the southwestern corner. The land is presently pasture; however, there are indications that part of the property has supported crops in the past. Vegetation is primarily sparse grasses, weeds, and sage. The only trees are a few cottonwoods along the canal near JUN 3 '94 14;45 303 238 5219 PRGE.004 940823 f SENT BY:TI-: COPY CENTER ; 6- 3-94 ; 3:46PM ; NINNOS-' 303 351 0978;# 5/16 its northern limit on the property and some willows in a pond just north of the canal in this area. A small check dam is located on the canal at this point . There is a culvert about 2 feet in diameter leading to the pond, but it does not appear to extend to the canal . The Sunny Acres subdivision lies to the southeast of the property. A number of houses are located in the subdivision. Martin Brothers PUD, amended plat, abuts the property to the east . Several houses have recently been built in this area. The Weld County Waste Disposal facility is located just north of the property. Several storage tanks and a disposal pond are connected with this facility. SOILS AND GEOLOGY Soils on the property have been mapped by Crabb of the Soil Conservation Service as Olney loamy sand 1-3% slopes in the north- central part, Valent sand 3-9% slopes in the south western portion, and Vona loamy sand 0-3%, 3-5% and 5-9% slopes in the remaining areas (see Figure 1) . Characteristics of the soil groups are shown on Table 1 . Engineering properties are given on Table 2, and physical and chemical properties are given on Table 3 . Limitations of the soil groups for construction and development are given on Table 4 . These tables are given as general guidelines only, and should not be substituted for individual, on -site investigations . Soister maps the property as loess in the northeastern part and 3 JUN 3 '94 14:45 303 238 5219 PAGE.005 940823 SENT BY:THE COPY CENTER ; 6- 3-94 ; 3:46PM ; KINKOS- 303 351 0978;# 6/16 eolian sand in the southwestern portion, with the underlying bedrock Dawson formation (see Figure 2) . The Dawson more recently has been subdivided, and is now defined as Arapahoe formation in this area . Road cuts 1-2 feet high along County Road 35 just north of the property form vertical banks typical of loess. Well logs in the area indicate the depth to bedrock ranges from about 40 feet to more than 60 feet . The well logs indicate the surficial material is composed primarily of sand or sand and clay int he upper part, underlain by clay interbedded with sand and gravel . Based on the well logs, bedrock is expected to be at considerable depth below the surface on the property, and will not affect the property except in relation to water. supply. SHALLOW GROUND WATER Shallow ground water is not expected to be a problem in the majority of the property. However, locally ground water levels may be high due to seepage from the Speer canal or from lawn irrigation and septic tank leacheate pending on clay layers . The sandy bottom of the Speer Canal would contribute to leakage, particularly when wter level in the canal is high. If ground water levels less than 10 feet deep are encountered at a building site, it is recommended that either no basement be constructed, or that a peripheral drain with positive drainage be provided. 4 JUN 3 '94 14:45 303 238 5219 PRGE.006 940823 SE\1 SY;THE COPY Ct.ATER ; 6- 3-94 ; 3:47PM ; MOMS-' 303 351 0978;# 7/16 SWELLING SOIL POTENTTAL Hart maps the property as windblown sand and silt, generally non- swelling. 'sable 2 indicates the soils are non-plastic -except for some of the clay layers in the Olney soil. It is unlikely that there will be problems with swelling soil on the property, however as a precautionary measure and also to provide information for optimum foundation design, it is highly recommended that soil borings be made at each structure location and that the information be reviewed by a qualified soils engineer SEWAGE DISPOSAL Permeability rates in all soils on the property are described by the Soil Conservation Service report by Crabb as moderate to rapid. The major anticipated problem with leaching fields would be too high a percolation rate. Because of the relatively large depth to bedrock indicated by well logs, potential for contamination of alluvial ground water from leaching fields is expected to be minimal . However, if local high ground water is encountered, contaminants- from the leachate could migrate laterally and seep into improperly constructed or shallow wells . A test boring at least 10 feet deep should be made at the location of each proposed leaching field, along with the usual percolation test holes. If a clay layer or ground water is encountered within this depth a new leaching field site should be chosen. With lots approximately 5 acres in size it is anticipated that a suitable leaching field site can be located on each lot . 5 JUN 3 '94 14:46 303 238 5219 PRGE.007 940823 SENT BY:THE COPY CENTER ; 6- 3-34 ; 3:47PM ; 303 351 0878;# 8/16 CONTAMINATION POTENTIAL The Weld County Waste Disposal Facility, a county-approved disposal site for oil operation wastes and water treatment, is located just north of the property. Wastes from several oil wells in the vicinity are treated at this facility. Weld County Health. Department personnel report that water quality analyses from monitoring holes at the facility indicate the pond liners are failing and there is a possibility of contaminated ground water in the area, but that the contamination is limited to the surficial aquifer. The facility has been cited by the Colorado Department of Health for accepting hazardous wastes . I understand that the State Attorney General is trying to work out a remediation agreement with the operator. It is strongly advised that monitoring wells be installed on the property just south of the north property line and near the west property line of the SE1/4 NW1/4. Water quality should be monitored on a quarterly basis . If contaminants are found, treatment facilities should be installed to minimize potential for migration of contamination further onto the property. If water supply wells are limited to the deeper aquifers and wells are properly constructed, there is very limited potential for contamination of the water supplies for the property. However, drilling in contaminated zones could introduce contamination to lower -zones . If contamination is found on the property, adequate measures to prevent migration of contamination should be taken when 6 JUN 3 '94 14:46 303 238 5219 PRGE.008 940823 SENT BY:THE COPY CENTER ; 6- 3-94 ; 3;47PM ; KINKOS 303 351 0976;# 9/16 water wells are drilled in the vicinity of the contamination. RADON GAS Although there are no overt indications of radon gas-producing materials on the property, as a precautionary measure it is advisable to test basements, crawl spaces and other unvented. enclosed spaces for the presence of radon. If radon gas is detected, adequate venting of the space will be necessary to minimize health hazard potential . MINERAL RESOURCES Coal . Coal is found in the Laramie formation underlying the site, however, electric logs int he vicinity indicate that coals are generally only a few feet thick and are at depths of greater than 600 feet . In my opinion, it would not be economic in the foreseeable future to mine this coal . The map of Coal Bed Methane Resources of Colorado by Carol M. 'l'remaine (Map Series 19, 1984) indicates that methane potential in the area is low (0-100 cf gas/ton coal) . Oil and Gas . No oil or gas wells are located on the property. Three tests holes were drilled in the NW1/4SW1/4 and SW1/4SW1/4 of 7 JUN 3 '94 14:46 303 238 5219 PRGE.009 940823 SENT BY:TFIE COPY CENTER ; 6- 3-94 ; 3:48PM ; KINKOS-' 303 351 0978;#10/16 Section 12, hut they were dry and were plugged and abandoned. Several operating wells are located within one mile of the property. If is not known at present whether economic amounts of oil or gas underlie the property, but in light of the number of dry holes the potential appears limited. Sand, Gravel and Quarry Aggregate. 5chowchow et al . map the property as containing eolian sand; however, the Soil Conservation studies indicate the sand is only fair to poor in quality. Well logs indicate some gravel exists; however, it is generally in layers only a few feet thick and the overburden: thickness ratio is high. The SCS describes the shallow soils as unsuitable as a gravel source. In my opinion no economic deposits of sand, gravel or quarry aggregate exist on the property. OTHER GEOLOGIC CONSIDERATIONS No other geologic conditions which would adversely affect the proposed development are known to exist on the property.

Denver Avenue, Fort Lupton, CO 80621 REQUEST: A Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to E (Estate) . LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SW4 and part of the NW4 of Section 12, T1N, R66W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 3/4 miles south of Weld County Road 12 and approximately 3/4 miles west of Weld County Road 37. John Martin, applicant, stated that he has some agricultural property that he would like to turn into a subdivision. Marie Koolstra asked about the water supply. Mr. Martin stated that each lot will have individual wells that will be 900 to 1,000 feet deep. Mr. Martin stated that the land is sage brush and grass and it is used only for pasture land. Shirley Camenisch asked about the roads. Mr. Martin stated he would build and maintain the roads. The Chairperson asked if anyone in the audience would like to speak for or against this proposal. Chuck Carlson stated that this land was not good for farming. He stated this area will become heavily populated when the new airport opens. He stated this application is a benefit to Weld County. Bill Childs stated that the tax advantages to Weld County would be great. Judy Yamaguchi asked Greg Thompson why Planning staff felt this application was not in compliance. Greg Thompson stated that the Planning staff's concerns consisted of inadequate public roads and public water, leap-frog development, and brinewater contamination of the groundwater. Discussion followed. A ON6 q 940823 MINUTES August 2, 1994 Page 2 Marie Koolstra moved that Case Number Z-489 for a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to E (Estate) be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial. Seconded by Juliette Kroekel. The Chairperson asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Richard Kimmel - no; Shirley Camenisch - yes, Juliette Kroekel - yes; Marie Koolstra - yes; Ron Sommer - yes; Judy Yamaguchi - yes. Motion carried. Richard Kimmel stated: "I have some real concerns of the brine water situation, wells, and roads going into this, but I think they have covered the bases of trying to get deep water wells and they will put in roads and maintain them." Juliette Kroekel stated: "With the idea that I am still very concerned about the water and the brine, I feel that has to be addressed first. I hate to have people buy anything out there and come back to us later and say, 'why did you approve it in the first place?' I think that needs to be addressed. The roads need to be taken care of and right now the County will not be taking care of them, again it will come back on us down the line." Marie Koolstra stated: "It is to far from a municipality." Judy Yamaguchi stated: "Support Juliette and Marie's comments and also the fact that Weld County has guidelines and we have to live by the guidelines and from the information if you've read over the Weld County Zoning Ordinance prior to coming today it seems that the staff has done their homework and I am in support of staff's recommendations."

Denver Avenue, Fort Lupton, CO 80621 REQUEST: A Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to E (Estate) . LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the SW4 and part of the NW4 of Section 12, T1N, R66W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 3/4 miles south of Weld County Road 12 and approximately 3/4 miles west of Weld County Road 37. be recommended unfavorably to the Board of County Commissioners for the following reasons: 1. The submitted materials are not in compliance with the application requirements of Section 21.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. 2. It is the opinion of the Planning Commission that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 21.5 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: The proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan Agricultural, Urban Growth, Residential, Public Facilities and Services, Transportation, and Environmental Quality and Natural Resources Goals and Policies. The following goals and policies which apply to the proposed change of zone are identified. a. AGRICULTURAL - This proposal is not consistent with Agricultural Goals 1, 2, and 4. Additionally, this proposal is not consistent with Agricultural Policies 1, 3, 4, and 10. The agricultural zone district is intended to preserve prime agricultural land and to provide areas for agricultural activities and uses dependent upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. The soil at this location has been identified as prime agricultural land by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Allowing residential uses in this location will remove this prime resource from production. Agricultural Goal 4 seeks to "encourage residential. . . development to locate adjacent to any existing incorporated municipalities". The proposed change of zone is approximately 2-1/2 miles away from the nearest municipality, and therefore, not adjacent to any existing incorporated municipality and constitutes leap-frog development. b. URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARIES - This proposal is not consistent with Urban Growth Boundary Goals 1 and 2, and Urban Growth Boundary Policies 1 and 2. The urban development goals and policies are designed to plan for anticipated growth by directing urban uses and development to existing cities. . . which can provide the necessary urban services. The Urban Development Section of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan addresses the preservation of prime agricultural land by considering its relationship to the entire system of land use and development within the County and the region. These goals and policies reflect a basic commitment to conserving natural and managed resources while directing growth. The first urban growth boundary goal is to, )(A ht .7 940823 RESOLUTION, Z-489 Martin Brothers Partnership Page 2 "Concentrate urban development in or adjacent to existing municipalities". This proposal is 2-1/2 miles from Fort Lupton. Fort Lupton's referral response indicated they need more information concerning the water supply before making a decision. The Planning Commission expressed concern about the Foxhill aquifer running out of water and the Speer Canal which replenishes Fort Lupton's water source. c. RESIDENTIAL - This proposed change of zone to Estate is not consistent with Residential Goals 2 and 3 and Residential Policies 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Adequate public services and facilities are not available to serve the site, because public water and public access is not available. Developing a site without public facilities is not cost-efficient to develop. This change of zone would commit an area ill-prepared for residential development. Additionally, this location does not encourage a compact form of development, since the nearest municipality is approximately 2 1/2 miles from this site. Finally, residential development is not compatible with the surrounding agricultural land uses and the adjacent brine-water disposal facility. d. PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES - This proposal is not consistent with Public Facility and Service Goals 1 and 2 and Public Facility and Service Policies 4, and 6. Sites served by public water and public roads currently exist within the county and these areas would be more efficient and cost- effective to develop. Adequate facilities and services, including public water and public access, do not serve this site. Public water needs to be in place to make this a viable development site according to the Weld County Zoning Ordinance and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. According to the Comprehensive Plan, urban uses removed from existing municipalities should be discouraged. No public facilities for this location are provided by a municipality because the proposal is not near any municipalities. e. TRANSPORTATION - This proposal is not consistent with Transportation Goals 1, 4, and 5, and is inconsistent with Transportation Policies 1, 4, and 7. This development is not efficient or economical since public access does not exist to the site. Transportation Policy #7 indicates the County should emphasize maintenance and upgrade facilities rather than building new. f. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND NATURAL RESOURCE - This proposed change of zone to Estate from Agricultural is inconsistent with Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Goals 1 and 3 and not consistent with Environmental Quality and Natural Resource Policy 9.a. Brine facilities located adjacent to residential developments are not compatible. The applicant's geologic report indicates groundwater contamination associated with the brine water facility should be taken into account when considering water wells. The applicants are proposing water wells as the water supply, yet the groundwater appears to be contaminated by adjacent land uses. 940923 RESOLUTION, Z-489 Martin Brothers Partnership Page 3 Attached is a letter dated August 26, 1993, from Stephen Laudeman of the Colorado Department of Health, which determines the brine facility, Weld County Waste Disposal has "impacted the shallow ground water in the vicinity of this facility". The health, safety, and welfare of Weld County citizens will not be enhanced if Estate zoning is approved adjacent to this brine water disposal facility with contaminated groundwater and soils. - The uses which would be allowed in the proposed E (Estate) zone district would not be compatible with the existing surrounding land uses which include a brine water disposal facility, which is northwest of and virtually adjacent to the subject property, pasture, a rural subdivision and oil and gas production. - The applicants have not demonstrated an adequate public water supply is available to the site. Section 36.2. 1. 1 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance specifically states a single family dwelling in the E (Estate) zone district shall be connected to a public water supply. The applicants have proposed individual wells for each proposed lot, and individual wells do not constitute a public water supply. Additionally, the State Division of Water Resources has indicated the proposed water well supply plan does not appear to be a viable water supply plan. Therefore, denial of this change of zone would be in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. The applicants have proposed utilizing septic systems as the sewage disposal system, however, the Platte Valley Soil Conservation District indicated caution should be used in the installation of septic systems because of potential contamination of irrigation and domestic wells. - Because the site is not currently served by any Weld County roads, access to the site is inadequate to meet the requirements of the proposed zone district. The application materials did not express a willingness to upgrade the highway facilities at the applicant's expense. - The applicant has not demonstrated soils with moderate limitations on-site can be overcome. Soils 44 and 72-74 have moderate limitations when used for local roads and streets due to low strength. This limitation covers over 50 percent of the site. Any internal roads at this site may well be inadequate given the noted limitations. 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.
