(PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) R-1 (LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) AND A (AGRICULTURAL) USES FOR LIND LAND COMPANY A public hearing was conducted on June 17, 1992, at 10:00 A.M. , with the following present: Commissioner George Kennedy, Chairman Commissioner Constance L. Harbert, Pro-Tem Commissioner C. W. Kirby Commissioner Gordon E. Lacy Commissioner W. H. Webster Also present: Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison Planning Department representative, Lanell Swanson The following business was transacted: I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated May 6, 1992, and duly published May 14, 1992, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was conducted to consider the request of Lind Land Company for a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development) R-1 (Low Density Residential) and A (Agricultural) uses for Lind Land Company. Lee Morrison, Assistant County Attorney, made this a matter of record. Lanell Swanson, Planning Department representative, entered the unfavorable recommendations of the Planning Commission and the Planning staff into the record as written. Tom Hellerich, attorney, said Martin Lind, applicant, and Gary Tuttle, engineer, are present to answer questions of the Board. Mr. Tuttle reviewed the application which is for residential use on 47 acres, which is located approximately 2 miles north of Business 34 on Weld County Road 17. He said the area is within the Urban Growth Boundary Area of Windsor, roads will be improved in the area, and the property is non- prime agricultural land. Mr. Tuttle also said there are existing lines for Little Thompson Water District, and the Town of Windsor and City of Greeley have no objections. He said the reason for requesting the P.U.D. Zoning is to establish a high-quality residential area to consist of 17 lots, 2 acres or more in size. Mr. Tuttle explained the houses and barns would be staggered to maintain the view of the mountains, with the main access on Weld County Road 17. The access for the two westerly lots will be on Weld County Road 60. The internal lots will not be allowed to have horses or barns. An arena and shelter will be built on eight acres of recreational space, and a drainage and wildlife area will be retained, which will constitute 17% for open space. Approximately $30,000 has been budgeted for railroad crossing improvements. In response to a question from Commissioner Kirby, Mr. Tuttle said a home owners association will be created to enforce the covenants. He said the covenants will be presented at the final P.U.D. stage, and a monthly fee will be assessed to cover maintenance costs. In response to a question from Commissioner Harbert, Mr. Tuttle said the access to the two western lots is now an oil-field access. Mr. Hellerich stated that Mr. Tuttle submitted a letter dated April 20, 1992, with a written easement attached concerning access to Block 2. He noted that it was not in the file and submitted a copy, Exhibit H, for the record. Mr. Hellerich also responded to Commissioner Kirby's concern with the enforcement of the covenants. He said the Common Interest Ownership Act will become effective July 1, 1992, which means incorporating, bonding, etc. , will be required by statute for all home owner associations. Mr. Morrison said the easement presented does not adequately define the access to Block 2, and it should be clarified further if said easement is assumed to be valid. He explained that final resolution of this matter does not have to be done at this point, but the legal issue would need to be resolved prior to the final P.U.D. plan. 920531 � c• RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - LIND LAND COMPANY PAGE 2 Commissioner Webster stated concerns with the design of the two cul-de-sac concept rather than a total loop, in case of fire, and also the safety of the railroad crossing. Mr. Tuttle said the cul-de-sacs were proposed for privacy; however, connecting the two cul-de-sacs would be a possibility, as well as having access to avoid the railroad crossing. Commissioner Harbert also stated concern with access to Lots 1 and 2 and fire access. Mr. Tuttle explained the horse paths will be available as a secondary access. Eric Aas, owner of property with easement, spoke in opposition of improvements to the road and the proposed development. Mr. Aas answered questions of the Board. In response to a question from Commissioner Kennedy, Mr. Morrison explained the concern that is raised is whether the burden has been increased beyond what was anticipated by the original easement. Judy Hartshorn, surrounding property owner, stated concerns with water pressure. Tom Weiler, surrounding property owner, also stated concerns with water and access and egress from Weld County Road 17. Mr. Weiler said the train runs daily, sometimes four to five trains per day, and he does not feel this development would be conducive in the area. Mark Hughes, surrounding property owner, spoke in opposition of the proposal. Melvin Martin, farmer for surrounding property owner, said this development will put more limitations on the farmers, which is not justifiable. Bruce Thornton, surrounding property owner, read a statement opposing residential zoning in agricultural areas, and he said his parents are present and opposed to this development as well. Mildred Thornton, Thornton Farms Partnership, registered a strong disapproval. Tom Schmerge, surrounding property owner, stated concerns about dust blowing, safety of the proposed accesses and the railroad crossing, drainage, and adequacy of the water lines. Heidi Aas, surrounding property owner, said her concern is the environment and surrounding quality of the environment in the area. Mr. Lind began his rebuttal by explaining the horse arena area will also be a storm-retention area. Mr. Lind said the access has been approved by Drew Scheltinga, County Engineer, and addressed concerns regarding said access. He used an over-lay map to explain the non-prime agricultural land issue, and he explained the compatibility of the development to the surrounding area. Mr. Lind presented maps and photographs of a similar area, Exhibits I through N, for the record. Mr. Lind, in response to questions of the Board, said a three-rail fence will be built around the perimeter of the entire project, a 200-foot setback is proposed from the power lines, and the Little Thompson Water District has approved pressure service in the area, with 6-inch water lines installed. Mr. Scheltinga said he does not agree that access proposed to Block 2 is adequate, as stated in his memo. He explained that subdivision requirements require a public right-of-way to any subdivided lot. Mr. Scheltinga clarified staff definitely does not agree with accessing Block 2 from across the railroad. Regarding Weld County Road 17, Mr. Scheltinga said the complete-stopping sight distance is adequate at 55 miles per hour at the proposed location. After further discussion, Mr. Scheltinga clarified there is no right-of-way on the southern boundary. Commissioner Lacy stated concerns with increasing traffic on Weld County Road 17, and he suggested installation of turn lanes. Mr. Scheltinga said an additional 150 to 200 trips per day have been estimated; however, he said the present width and shoulder width of Weld County Road 17 would meet the present traffic count requirements plus the additional. (Changed to Tape #92-20 during Mr. Scheltinga's comments. ) Mr. Scheltinga said turn movements, however, are a valid concern, but weight should not be a problem. The impacts of the turning movements and a traffic analysis plan can be considered at the final P.U.D. stage. Mr. Morrison advised that the Board set forth any specific criteria to be satisfied at the final P.U.D. stage be addressed today and include such in the notes with the P.U.D. Mr. Scheltinga recommended the intersection improvements be made to meet the standards of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Commissioner Lacy stated concerns with the size of the lots with animals on them. Mr. Lind explained that 352 maximum, of each lot after hardscape, will be allowed for corrals. He said there are 920531 RE: HEARING CERTIFICATION - LIND LAND COMPANY PAGE 3 13 total lots which will allow animals; therefore, the maximum number of animals allowed would be 26. Commissioner Harbert suggested the Board be presented with a plot plan and covenants noting when the landscaping and developing will be completed. Mr. Lind said fencing, landscaping, and the arena area will be completed before any lot development. Ms. Swanson read the suggested conditions of approval into the record. Commissioner Lacy noted that one access to the property will be allowed. Commissioner Harbert suggested adding the requirement of an emergency access. After further discussion, Ms. Swanson suggested adding the exception of one limited access emergency road to the P.U.D. be required. Mr. Hellerich and Mr. Martin explained that any recreational vehicles will be enclosed in a compatible building. After discussion concerning water service, Ms. Swanson suggested adding "in quantities adequate for home and fire protection uses. " Commissioner Webster moved to approve the request of Lind Land Company for a Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development) R-1 (Low Density Residential) and A (Agricultural) uses, with the Conditions of Approval as entered into the record. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kirby, who stated if the quality outlined is maintained, the development would be justifiable and compatible. Chairman Kennedy said he would vote against the motion because several questions remain. Commissioner Webster clarified he made the motion to approve on the basis that the applicants make the suggested improvements before the final P.U.D. plan. Commissioner Lacy said a previous application for a sheep feedlot in this area was denied; therefore, he believes the area is to be developed for housing. Commissioner Kirby commented on the need to use the P.U.D. concept rather than allowing the creeping growth of recorded exemptions. Commissioner Harbert agreed with Commissioner Kirby, and she reiterated the necessity of meeting the expectations outlined today. On a roll-call vote the motion carried four to one, with Chairman Kennedy voting nay. This Certification was approved on the 22nd day of June, 1992. ke.enAPPROVED: ATTEST: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COU TY, COLORADO Weld County Clerk to he Board By: ll/ 12.4Ad� ` eo ge Kenne , Chairman u Deputy CYeEk to the Boar onstance L.

Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission that the application for: CASE NUMBER: Z-467 NAME: Lind Land Company ADDRESS: 361 71st Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80632 REQUEST: A Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to P.U.D. R-1 (Low Density Residential) and A (Agricultural) uses. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NE4 of Section 8, T5N, R67W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 2 miles south of the Town of Windsor; west of Weld County Road 17, and south of Weld County Road 60. be recommended unfavorably to the Board of County Commissioners based on the following: - It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has not shown compliance with Section 28.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: - This proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. This proposal is located in the A (Agricultural) zone district and is evaluated under the Agricultural, Urban Growth Boundary and Planned Unit Development goals and policies. A goal of the agricultural zone district is to encourage residential development to locate adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities and in accordance with the municipalities' adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies. This parcel of ground is not adjacent to any municipality and is nearly 3 miles south of developed portions of the Town of Windsor. The subject parcel is within 3 miles of land annexed by the City of Greeley but is more than four miles from any significant development. The intent of this goal is to discourage inefficient leap-frog development. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that this proposal is a prime example of leap-frog development. This proposal is also inconsistent with policies of the City of Greeley which discourage residential development that exceeds one unit per twenty (20) acres. The proposal would allow 17 dwellings on 47 acres. Agricultural Policy #1 states, in part, that agricultural zone districts shall be established and maintained to protect and promote the County' s agricultural industry. 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. It is -E-Xtl! O 17 e, 920531 RESOLUTION, Z-467 Lind Land Company, Page 2 the opinion of the staff that this request represents spot zoning. This parcel is totally surrounded by agriculturally zoned property. There is a dairy and sheep confinement operation approximately 1/4 mile to the south and rural residences to the north and west. It is the opinion of the staff that these existing uses should be allowed to continue without the potential for increased interference from residential development. Agricultural Policy #4 states, in part, that in the event that residential development desires to locate on non-prime agricultural land outside of an urban growth boundary area, the application for such development shall be carefully evaluated to determine if an equally suitable location is available in areas established for such development. It is the opinion of the staff that the applicant has not demonstrated that an equally suitable location does not exist. There is nothing significant nor are there any natural features on this property that do not exist on parcels located adjacent to the Town of Windsor. The Town of Windsor does allow for this type of development. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has not adequately addressed the requirements of Section 28.7.1.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. This section of the ordinance states that the street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in functional classification, width, and structural capacity to meet the traffic requirements for the uses in the proposed zone district. The applicant has not demonstrated that adequate legal access exists to Block 2 of the development and if in fact legal access exists, he has not demonstrated the willingness or the financial capability to make the needed improvements to bring the access up to county standards. The proposed access to Block 2 is unacceptable and is not capable of meeting the P.U.D. performance standards for adequate, safe and convenient access. As this access leaves the subject property it immediately crosses the Great Western Railroad tracks. This track crossing is unimproved and the applicant has not demonstrated how the necessary improvements will be made. In the event that a train is stopped on the tracks, this portion of the property will be cut off from owner access and emergency services. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services Staff that this site is inappropriate for a residential and equestrian development and does not comply with the environmental quality and natural resource policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The size of the proposed lots is not capable of supporting all of the functions of a "horse property" . Each lot will have a dwelling, landscaping, driveway, corrals and shelter for the horses and accessory buildings. The full two acres will not be available to absorb the impacts of the horses. In addition to the small lot size, the property is unirrigated. The applicant has stated that the horses will not be pastured but will be fed in the corrals. The corrals will be a source of dust, soil erosion, and other nuisance conditions. It is the opinion of the staff that the applicant is only considering the economic benefits of creating 17 lots without considering the capacity of the land to support such uses. 92O531 RESOLTUION, Z-467 Lind Land Company Page 3 Motion seconded by Bill O'Hare.

CASE NUMBER: Z-467 NAME: ADDRESS: 361 71st Avenue, Greeley, Colorado 80632 REQUEST: A Change of Zone from A (Agricultural) to P.U.D. R-1 (Low Density Residential) and A (Agricultural) uses. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NE4 of Section 8, T5N, R67W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 2 miles south of the Town of Windsor; west of Weld County Road 17, and south of Weld County Road 60. Gary Tuttle, Tuttle-Applegate, representative, and Martin Lind, applicant explained the request for rezoning is within the Urban Growth Boundary of the Town of Windsor. The Windsor and Greeley Planning Commissioners had no 31 g% 1 ! r ii C- SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING April 21, 1992 Page 4 objections to this application. The distances between Ft. Collins, Greeley, and Loveland make this site extremely attractive. Gary Tuttle explained this property is in a transitional area with the addition of the new Wal-Mart facility, and it is non-prime agricultural land. The size and terrain make the property difficult to farm. The Little Thompson Water District has water lines already set across the property so the infra-structure is in place. They propose lots of two acres each with a large arena in the center of the development and bridle paths on the outskirts. They plan to improve the railroad crossings over the access roads. Jean Hoffman asked when was the last time Little Thompson checked the existing waterlines. Gary Tuttle said it had been 3 years ago and everything checked out. Jean Hoffman also expressed concerns about Weld County Road 17 not being wide enough to accommodate added traffic. She also asked about access for emergency vehicles. Gary Tuttle said there was no problem for access of emergency vehicles. Bud Clemons asked about dust problems. Gary Tuttle said there shouldn' t be much of a dust problem because there would not be open grazing in pastures. Bill O'Hare asked about the proximity of a dairy farm, a sheep farm, and feedlots in the area. Martin Lind said if you chose to purchase rural land, especially in Weld County, odors from surrounding farms and businesses is just a way of life. Martin Lind listed rural subdivisions throughout Weld County that have been successful, to include Dos Rios, Indianhead, Seeley Lake, and Arrowhead. He compared this proposal with a very successful rural subdivision near Denver called Shanago. The Chairman asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. Bruce Thornton, surrounding property owner, explained his family is extremely opposed to a subdivision being built on agricultural land. They own the adjacent property but do not reside on it. He felt approving this application would only open the door to future re-zoning issues. Eugene Habrock, surrounding property owner, spoke in favor of the application. He sees this as a beautiful place to live and bring up children. People who purchase this type of property don't have problems with the smell of feedlots. Gary Weinmeister, surrounding property owner, spoke in opposition to this proposal. He owns adjacent property and feels this proposal will compromise isolation throughout the area. Tom Ladder, surrounding dairy owner, said he has a sheep operation, and two feedlots close to this proposal. A subdivision is not compatible with these types of operations. In the summer the water pressure in the area is minimal. 920531 SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING April 21, 1992 Page 5 A subdivision will make water pressure issues in the area a problem. Frank Platte, surrounding dairy owner, stated he has mixed emotions about this proposal. He doesn' t like to see agricultural land be used development, but at the same time this type of application will make his property values go up. Heidi Aas, surrounding property owner, is concerned about the loss of privacy and the possibility of opening the door to other developers. The Chairman asked Brian Grubb to read the staff's recommendations into the record. Jean Hoffman moved Case Number Z-467 be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with the Planning Commissions recommendation for denial, based on the fact this parcel of land is an isolated parcel, this is considered spot zoning, noncompliance with Section 28.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, proximity to dairy and sheep, and the agricultural nature of the area. Bill O'Hare seconded the motion. The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Richard Kimmel - yes; Jean Hoffman - yes; Tom Rulon - yes; Bill O'Hare - yes; Judy Yamaguchi - yes; Don Feldhaus - yes; Bud Clemons - yes. Motion carried unanimously. Comments Don Feldhaus expresses a yes vote but certainly with mixed feelings, because it seems like a good plan for a good development that' s worthy of being in a rural area, but at the same token it does conflict with the isolated format. Bud Clemons votes yes with an expression to the applicant that he was impressed with the detailed plat that a considerable amount of time and money went into. His concerns are primarily with the railroad and the access into the project, along with trying to protect the concerns of the citizens of the local community. It is always a difficult decision for staff members.

R-1 (Low Density Residential) and A (Agricultural) uses. LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Part of the NE4 of Section 8, T5N, R67W of the 6th P.M. , Weld County, Colorado. LOCATION: Approximately 2 miles south of the Town of Windsor; west of Weld County Road 17, and south of Weld County Road 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 28.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance as follows: - This proposal is not consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. This proposal is located in the A (Agricultural) zone district and is evaluated under the Agricultural, Urban Growth Boundary and Planned Unit Development goals and policies. A goal of the agricultural zone district is to encourage residential development to locate adjacent to existing incorporated municipalities and in accordance with the municipalities' adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies. This parcel of ground is not adjacent to any municipality and is nearly 3 miles south of developed portions of the Town of Windsor. The subject parcel is within 3 miles of land annexed by the City of Greeley but is more than four miles from any significant development. The intent of this goal is to discourage inefficient leap-frog development. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that this proposal is a prime example of leap- frog development. This proposal is also inconsistent with policies of the City of Greeley which discourage residential development that exceeds one unit per twenty (20) acres. The proposal would allow 17 dwellings on 47 acres. 920531 Agricultural Policy #1 states, in part, that agricultural zone districts shall be established and maintained to protect and promote the County' s agricultural industry. 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. It is the opinion of the staff that this request represents spot zoning. This parcel is totally surrounded by agriculturally zoned property. There is a dairy and sheep confinement operation approximately 1/4 mile to the south and rural residences to the north and west. It is the opinion of the staff that these existing uses should be allowed to continue without the potential for increased interference from residential development. Agricultural Policy 14 states, in part, that in the event that residential development desires to locate on non-prime agricultural land outside of an urban growth boundary area, the application for such development shall be carefully evaluated to determine if an equally suitable location is available in areas established for such development. It is the opinion of the staff that the applicant has not demonstrated that an equally suitable location does not exist. There is nothing significant nor are there any natural features on this property that do not exist on parcels located adjacent to the Town of Windsor. The Town of Windsor does allow for this type of development. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has not adequately addressed the requirements of Section 28.7.1.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. This section of the ordinance states that the street or highway facilities providing access to the property are adequate in functional classification, width, and structural capacity to meet the traffic requirements for the uses in the proposed zone district. The applicant has not demonstrated that adequate legal access exists to Block 2 of the development and if in fact legal access exists, he has not demonstrated the willingness or the financial capability to make the needed improvements to bring the access up to county standards. 920531 The proposed access to Block 2 is unacceptable and is not capable of meeting the P.U.D. performance standards for adequate, safe and convenient access. As this access leaves the subject property it immediately crosses the Great Western Railroad tracks. This track crossing is unimproved and the applicant has not demonstrated how the necessary improvements will be made. In the event that a train is stopped on the tracks, this portion of the property will be cut off from owner access and emergency services. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services Staff that this site is inappropriate for a residential and equestrian development and does not comply with the environmental quality and natural resource policies of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The size of the proposed lots is not capable of supporting all of the functions of a "horse property" . Each lot will have a dwelling, landscaping, driveway, corrals and shelter for the horses and accessory buildings. The full two acres will not be available to absorb the impacts of the horses. In addition to the small lot size, the property is unirrigated. The applicant has stated that the horses will not be pastured but will be fed in the corrals. The corrals will be a source of dust, soil erosion, and other nuisance conditions. It is the opinion of the staff that the applicant is only considering the economic benefits of creating 17 lots without considering the capacity of the land to support such uses. 920531 CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL - LIND LAND COMPANY, Z-467 1.

Consultants for Land and Resource Development March 24 , 1992 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services 914 Tenth Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 ' RE: PUD Change of Zone; WindSong Ranch Dear Chuck: This letter, along with the other materials attached, constitutes our application for a Planned Unit Development Change of Zone for WindSong Ranch. The 47 acre parcel is located at the southwest corner of Weld County Roads 17 and 60 . It is presently zoned agricultural. We wish to change this zoning to a PUD district. This narrative will follow the same form and order as in your handout for application requirements. 1 . The PUD Change of Zone application forms and fee are included with this letter. 2 . WindSong Ranch will be a large lot, rural residential subdivision with special amenities for horse owners. Single family residential is the only land use. All homes in the subdivision will be custom built. The home itself and any other accessory buildings, fencing, and landscaping will be strictly regulated by covenants and architectural controls. The lots will be oriented toward the west and have a view of the mountains. Mgt= s gpLYif( S p ®r C4ex413WArdr5 3 . Prior to di6cussion about the Weld County Plan, it is important to justify the need for the rezoning. State law indicates the property may be rezoned if there is an error in the original District Zone Map or if conditions in the area have changed since the District Zone Map was prepared which would require property to be rezoned. We contend in the vicinity of the site conditions have changed in the last ten years. The primary change are the annexations of both Greeley and Windsor moving toward this site. This property is now slightly over a mile from the limits of Windsor and only a few miles from the city limits of Greeley. The property is located within the Urban Growth Boundary designated in the County' s plan. 920531 11990 Grant Street, #410 Telephone: (303 ) 452-6611 Denver, Colorado 80233 Facsimile: (303 ) 452-2759 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24 , 1992 Page 2 The secondary reason for changing conditions is the installation of water lines adjacent to and on this property. In the late 1960s, a developer installed water lines in anticipation of a subdivision. The project was abandoned but the lines are still in the ground and viable. About four years ago the Little Thompson Water and Sanitation District staff dug up the valves on the lines and confirmed they were in good shape. Therefore, the property has the required infrastructure and this information was probably not available to the County when the blanket agricultural zone was applied in this area. Presently the site is dryland wheat farmed. Its small size and sloped terrain make it uneconomical to farm. The general soil map provided by Weld County with the comprehensive plan shows the property in question labeled as dryland with the soil grouping of the Weld-Adena-Colby Association. This soil group is given the number 27 . Table 5 of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan classifies this soil group as Class III overall with Class IV for the individual soils of Adena and Colby. Closer inspection of the area using the U.S.D.A. Soil Survey for Weld County shows the soil series Kim Loam, five to nine percent slopes, as the predominant soil in the area. Looking through Table 5 to find Kim soils with the correct percent slopes, we find them listed under the Soil Association #175, Kim-Otero. The classification given for this soil in dry condition is IV and VI . Based on the soil classifications of III, IV, and VI, the area under consideration for a change of zone from agriculture to PUD District is not well suited to agricultural due to severe limitations that require special conservation practices, very careful management, and make them generally unsuited to cultivation. Therefore, this property is non-prime agricultural land. WindSong Ranch is located within the Urban Growth Boundaries as designated in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. This project will benefit Weld County and its citizens by promoting efficient land use, generous open space, and scenic views for the homeowner. 920531 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24 , 1992 Page 3 The project combines the land uses of residential lots and recreational open space in an innovative manner. The developer wishes to create and maintain high property values by creating a residential subdivision with a distinctive horse oriented identity and substantial improvements in the common open space. The property now is adequately served by public services and facilities. Gas, telephone, and electric lines are located in Weld County Road 17 and are available to this project. In addition, Little Thompson Water and Sanitation District has water lines adjacent to and in the property ready for hook-up. Both the concept and the design of this PUD development are compatible with the adjacent properties. Properties nearby are used for agricultural and large lot rural residential. Within the project itself, special measures are being taken to ensure high quality lots which maintain their property values. Generally the project is designed as a large lot subdivision with a feeling of generous open space. All the buildings will be custom designed and their design will be approved by an architectural control board. Generous setbacks between homes and streets and between homes and lot lines are considered. Height limitation of 35 to 40 feet will be designated on buildings. On street parking is not allowed and the developer will take landscaping measures to create privacy and screen undesirable views . This project contains a generous amount of common open space. In fact, approximately 17% of the total 47 acres will be devoted to common open space. Every lot will have accessibility to the open space which will be used for hiking, bicycling riding, and horseback riding. This common open space will be maintained in perpetuity by a homeowner's association. This association will have legal means to maintain the space and require all homeowners to share in that expense. Weld County will not be responsible for any of the maintenance or liability in this open space land. The land plan will preserve the natural site features. The ground has a high point on its eastern side which creates a western facing slope on which to build homes. Thus views to the mountains for every lot can be achieved. In addition, there is a drainageway on the west side of the property with a series of stock ponds. The breached dams will be repaired and this area will be left in open space as wildlife habitat and hiking. 331 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24 , 1992 Page 4 Weld County Road 17 is designated as a County arterial road. The project proposes one residential street connection with Weld County Road 17 . This access point is located so that it has more than the desired amount of stopping site distance from the south and north. Existing traffic on Weld County Road 17 will not be disturbed by this residential collector street. WindSong Ranch qualifies as a Planned Unit Development because it presents a unified plan for the development of residential dwelling units and recreational/open space land. In addition, the plan will designate a footprint for both the homes and accessory buildings, such as horse facilities. Each lot has a very specific area for the construction of these buildings in order to preserve views to the west for all homes. The PUD concept, which can be administered by Weld County, is a more desirable method of control as opposed to complicated deed restrictions. MoyzE /,The PUD District is required at WindSong Ranch to prohibit the ccMppE�accessory uses of carports and non-commercial junkyards and the i..."51-0 special review uses of hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, preschools, daycare centers, private schools, and child —dare centers. When lot buyers approach the County for building permit applications, the PUD plan can be referred to for review of each home builder' s site plan. In addition, several of the lots do not allow horses. Again, it is best to control these by the PUD process. r,.1r)tr.- Our circulation plan proposes some unique features such as reduce4_pavement width to discourage high_ speed travel. In addition, we are proposing secondary accesses from the cul de sacs. In this way only one specific access point is required on Weld County Road 17 . 4 . The residential and recreational land uses proposed in Wind Song Ranch will be compatible with each other within the PUD district. Every lot will have easy access onto the open space system. The lost open space system will be used for horseback riding, hiking, bicycling riding, and wildlife observation. Interior lots in the development will not allow horses. Only lots which are on the perimeter of the project will be allowed horse facilities at the rear of the lot. In this way the front of the houses will not be required to look onto horse facilities at the rear of a neighbors lot. 920531 Mr Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24 , 1992 Page 5 N-The storm water detention facilities will be located at the perimeter corners of the property in two to three locations. Thus they will not conflict with the open space trail system or any of the outdoor living areas of lots. As stated previously, each house will have a view of the western mountains. Specific building footprints will be designated on lots in order to preserve these views. Generous setbacks from the front, rear, and side will be required in order to maintain "xAfwq.6a the low density rural character of the project. The streets will ��� be paved to eliminate dust in the subdivision. Landscaping will be installed by the deve oper initially along Weld County Road 17 , at the entrance, and within the open space areas. Water lines of the Little Thompson Water District are adjacent to an in the property and are available for use. System improvements to the south will allow greater pressure and capacity in the lines and can easily serve the number of lots proposed. Sewer will be provided by individual septic systems. The developer proposes a single entrance into the project which will end in two cul de sacs. For short lengths of the road, the hiking trails will be built on one side. A generous amount of pedestrian and horse circulation is allowed around the perimeter of the development. The performance standards as outlined in Section 35.3 of the Zoning Ordinances will be complied with. 5 . The proposed uses in WindSong Ranch are compatible with surrounding land uses. On all sides the predominate land use is agricultural. Generally it is dryland farming. There are two residential units on the north and western sides of the project. These are modular homes with horse facilities. We feel the residential values of Wind Song Ranch will improve the value of these two residential units. 920531 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24 , 1992 Page 6 There are two facilities adjacent to the property which require special mitigation. To the north is the Great Western Railroad line. These tracks are infrequently used so we do not feel they constitute a major impact to residential use on the property. Those lots backing the tracks will have a rear setback of 100 feet. The power lines on the south line of the property constitute some visual impact. In addition, we have heard some discussion recently regarding health effects of electric fields associated with power lines. As of this date our research has not discovered any specific studies documenting negative health effects. However, we have decided to require a 200 foot setback for any residential units from the power lines. 6. The two uses proposed for WindSong Ranch are single family residential and recreational/open space. All homes within the project will be custom designed and built. The covenants will require minimum square footages of 1, 800 square feet. No manufactured or modular units will be allowed. Building heights will be a maximum 35 to 40 feet. Horse barns and out buildings will also be controlled by covenants in terms of minimum square footages and maximum heights . Each lot will designate an allowed footprint for the home and the out buildings. All these items will be reviewed and administered by an architectural control board. Initially this board will consists of the developer, but members will be added to it as residents move into the development. WindSong Ranch will contain a total of 17 single family lots. 7 . The development will contain almost eight acres of private open space and recreational facilities. This open space is for the exclusive use of WindSong Ranch residents and their guests. The main feature of the project is a perimeter trail for horses, walking, and bicycling. The developer will construct a raised pathway for these activities. All the paths will be interconnected to the larger open space area at the northeast corner. This area will be used for horse boarding, horse exercise, and storm water detention. The developer will construct a limited amount of equestrian facilities here for the residents. As the development fills out, the homeowners association will take responsibility for any further construction. 920531 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24, 1992 Page 7 Additionally, the farm ponds on the western portion of the site will be rehabilitated. We expect these ponds can then hold small amounts of water during rainfall periods. The main function of this area will be for wildlife habitat. Residents of the project may enjoy wildlife observation. All these open space and recreational facilities will be owned by the homeowners association and maintained by the association in perpetuity. 8 . The source of water will be the Little Thompson Water District. The District presently has a six inch water line from U.S. Business 34 up Weld County Road 17 to the property. Apparently a developer in the late 1960s or early 1970s had plans for residential lots on the property and installed the water lines, but then the project went no further. A referral letter from the District has been forwarded to the County stating their desire to serve the development. 9 . Each lot will be served by its own septic system. The lots are all at least two acres in size and allow adequate room for the installation of a septic field. 10. The project is accessed by Weld County Road 17 . This County road is classified as a County arterial and runs between Business U.S. 34 and the Town of Windsor. Presently it consists of a 24 foot to 28 foot wide pavement with two to three feet gravel shoulders within a 60 foot right-of-way. The road is not over capacity and has adequate capacity to handle the 150 to 200 trips per day generated by this project. To the south of the property, on Weld County Road 17 , there is a crest of a hill which limits sight distance. Considering a 55 mph speed limit and the downhill grade of the County road the desirable stopping sight distance is 750 feet. The access point into this property is over 1,000 feet from the crest of this hill and, therefore, presents no unsafe conditions. The sight distance to the south on Weld County 17 is open and presents no sight distance problems. 320531 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24 , 1992 Page 8 11 . Attached with this letter is the soil capability classification and general description obtained from the Weld County Soil Survey. Also included are suitability tables for the various uses with the PUD. 12 . No commercial mineral deposits are located on this property. 13 . The property is not included within a flood hazard area. 14 . The property is not included within a geologic hazard area. 15 . A sign will be posted announcing the property is being considered for rezoning. The applicant will certify the sign has been posted for ten ( 10 ) days prior to any scheduled hearing date. 16. Attached to the application is a certified list of the names, addresses, and the corresponding parcel identification number assigned by the Weld County Assessor of the owners of property within five hundred ( 500 ) feet of the property subject to the application. 17 . Attached to the application is a certified list of the names and addresses of mineral owners and lessees of mineral owners on or under the parcel of land being considered. We are also in receipt of a staff review letter on our sketch plan dated March 16 and revised on March 19 . We will respond to those comments in the same order as presented in the letter by Mr. Brian Grubb. 1. Following is a list of allowed uses at WindSong Ranch: a. One single family dwelling per lot served by the Little Thompson Water District b. Barns and sheds c. Landscaping d. Fencing e. Children's play areas f. Horse corrals and compounds g. Detached garages h. Swimming pools, tennis courts, and similar private recreational facilities i. Home occupation j . Guest parking areas 331 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24, 1992 Page 9 All structures and improvements placed on the lot must be approved by the architectural control committee who will base their review of requests on lot development guidelines. This list of uses and the guidelines will be finalized at the approval of the PUD plan. Generally speaking the developer is interested in traditional building styles making use of wood, brick, and stone. Colors for all the structures will be soft and earth tone shades. Generally maximum building height will be from 35 to 40 feet and roof pitch should be steeper than 4 over 12 . The building style of all accessory buildings will conform to the style of the dwelling unit. Mobile homes will not be allowed as temporary living quarters while the dwelling unit is under construction. Front yard landscaping must be installed prior to occupation of the dwelling. A final copy of all covenants and architectural controls will be submitted at the time of the PUD plan. 2 . Non-commercial junkyards will not be allowed in the PUD District. 3. Submitted with this application is a preliminary study of soils and geologic conditions, as Item #11 in our above report. A full subsurface geotechnical investigation along with percolation tests will be done at the PUD plan stage so both the systems and the roads can be designed. 4 . As we previously mentioned, water service does not need to be extended to the site because it is already adjacent to and inside the property. Our discussions with the Little Thompson Water District indicate their desire to loop water lines. This type of final engineering designs will be completed with the PUD plan application. 5. As requested by the Little Thompson Water District, we will provide all appropriate easements for their water lines. These easements will be shown on the PUD final plat. 6. Fire hydrants will be included in the development and their location will be decided on in consultation with the Windsor/Severance Fire Protection District. Minimum flows to the fire hydrants will be studied and guaranteed by the developer. 520531 Mr. Chuck Cunliffe Weld County Planning Services March 24, 1992 Page 10 7 . The applicant does not object to cash in lieu of donation to the school district in normally accepted amounts. These monies will be paid at the time of building permit application for the dwelling. 8 . The covenants of the development will include minimum square footages for each dwelling of at least 1, 800 square feet. Therefore, we have not problem in meeting the Weld County Sheriff 's request. 9. We have also had discussions with David Lafferty, general manager of the Great Western Railway Company. In our discussions with him he indicated there are ways to safely accomplish a traffic crossing for the two lots in Block 2 . Under separate cover we will forward to you a copy of the legal access across private property into the Block 2 area of the WindSong Ranch. Our wish is to safely accomplish the railroad crossing for these two lots. 10 . Our PUD plan will show a 30 foot minimum lot frontage for Lots 9H, 10H, and 11H of Block 1. Also included with this application is a vicinity map at 1" = 200 ' . The map shows pertinent features on both the property and the surrounding areas. Also you will find with this application the Planned Unit Development district plat prepared according to County requirements. We look forward to a Planning Commission hearing on April 21, 1992 .

Summer fallow a year before planting and continued cultivation for weed control are needed to insure establishment and survival of plantings. Trees that are best suited and have good survival are Rocky Mountain juniper, eastern redcedar, ponderosa pine, Siberian elm, Russian-olive, and hackberry. The shrubs best suited are skunkbush sumac, lilac, Siberian peashrub, and American plum. Openland wildlife, such as pheasant, mourning dove, and cottontail, are best suited to this soil. Wildlife habitat development, including tree and shrub plantings and grass plantings to serve as nesting areas, should be suc- cessful without irrigation during most years. Under ir- rigation, good wildlife habitat can be established, benefit- ing many kinds of openland wildlife. This soil has good potential for urban and recreational development. The chief limiting soil features for urban development are the shrink-swell potential of the subsoil as it wets and dries and the limited capacity of the soil to support a load.

One of two conditions need to be met in order to meet the growing demand for Sheriff ' s services . The minimum square footage of residences must be 1800 square feet in order to receive sufficient revenue through property taxes to off-set additional demand. This is the same requirement we requested for a very similar development north of Windsor. If the residences will be less than 1800 square feet, I recommend the PUD be required to form a Law Enforcement Authority prior to issuance of any building permits in order to produce enough revenue to off-set additional service impacts .

Thornton) Re: Case Number Z-467. Petition to rezone from Agriculture to P.U.D (R-1 and Agricultural uses ) part of the NE4 sec- tion, T5N, R67W of the 6th P.M. Weld County Colorado . Dear Sirs: As owners and operators, since 1895, of the Thornton farm located adjacent to the area proposed for rezoning, we wish to register our strong opposition to the rezoning petition. Such rezoning must have a detrimental present and future im- pact on the surrounding area whose best potential is realized through the pursuit of agriculture . We believe, for the following specific reasons, that the land under discussion is not suitable for housing: 1. It lies close to a dairy farm, a cow-pasture and a sheep-breeding operation. 2. A stream running through the adjacent pasture would present a potential threat to children. 3. Because the area proposed for rezoning is dry land the supply of an ample supply of water for domestic and horse-pasture use is uncertain. A "dust-bowl" type area is possible which would be detrimental to the environment. In general, it is our own and many other Weld County land- owners concerned opinion that residential development in Weld County should, as present zoning requirements recognize, be established only as contiguous ramifications of present population centers. Although the acres in question are few, the precedent set by their residential development must be construed as a forbidding prologue to future widespread en- croachment upon Weld County agriculture. Weld County agricultural land must not be considered ground upon which real-estate speculation wealth may be freely cultivated. Sincerely,( c. Weld County Planning Commission Bruce J. and Mildred L.

Co. to change the zone from A to P.U.D . on the land west of WCR 1'' and south of WCh 60. If the request for a change is granted, it will help set a precedent. Before we know it, our fertile irrigated land will become housing developments too . We need to reserve our land for growing food. That land is capable of producing beautiful wheat. The existing utilities will have to be upgraded. Being on the end of the lire, we know the present 2" water line could not handle any more taps . Water usage will be high. There are no sewer lines either. Are we going to be required to change the status of our road to a county road, or will a new easement be required? Will it be county maintained? Who will be responsible for Snow removal? What irrigating rights are being traded for city water rights? Will the entire section's zone change? The proximity of a dairy is not conducive to a housing development . There are many unsupervised ponds in the area. Children will be put In a potentially dangerous situation. The traffic on WCR 17 is fast and heavy. The turn onto WCR 17 is hazardous due to the lay of the land. Thank you for your time. We hope you are able to make a responsible decision by denying the request.

I oppose the request to change zoning in the subject area from "A (Agriculture) to P.U.D. (R-1 and A uses) " for the same reasons that you outline in your preliminary report.

Consultants for Land and Resource Development April 20, 1992 Mr. Brian Grubb Weld County Planning Services 915 Tenth Street Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Z-467 ; WindSong Ranch P.U.D. Dear Brian: In our discussions with you there were questions about the validity of the access to Block 2 of WindSong Ranch PUD. We are providing the following information to show compliance with Section 28. 7 . 1 . 6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. In addition, this letter will serve as our separate proposal for off-site road improvements. Block 2 of our development contains two (2 ) residential lots. We expect these lots will generate from ten to twenty ADT. Presently access to this portion of the property is by an existing gravel drive which proceeds south from Weld County Road 60 (gravel road) , crosses the Great Western railroad tracks, and then enters the property. This gravel drive varies from 17 feet to 23 feet in width. In order to provide adequate, safe, and convenient access to the two residential lots, Lind Land Company proposes to widen the access drive to a uniform width of 20 feet. A minimum of six inches of base coarse will be installed on the road. In discussions with the Great Western Railroad management, we have agreed the railroad track crossing will also be improved to 20 feet in width and the cross buck railroad warning signs will be relocated from Weld County Road 17 to the drive. In addition, the intersection of this drive with Weld County Road 60 will be improved with 30 foot curve returns. With this letter you will find a copy of a road easement between the former owners of the property and the former owners of the gas well. This document has been recorded in Weld County. As part of the closing on this property, Lind Land Company was conveyed this permanent easement as a property right. A fully signed copy will be forthcoming to you. ✓ 0.531 11990 Grant Street, #410 Telephone: ( 303 ) 452-6611 Denver, Colorado 80233 Facsimile: ( 303 ) 452-2759 Mr. Brian Grubb Weld County Planning Services April 20, 1992 Page 2 This existing access drive has been the historical entry into this section of the property for many years. The Lind's have used this access both as agricultural tenants and now as owners of the property. The Lind Land Company, applicant of this zoning case, is willing and financially capable of upgrading this drive to standard conformance with the Transportation Section of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The improvements will be guaranteed by the submission of a public improvement bond with Weld County as the beneficiary. In the PUD plan stage, the exact amount of the off- site road improvements will be calculated. Cordially, TUTTLE APPLEGATE, INC. i 61-Prof �'� Gary J.

Section 28.7.1.6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance requires adequate access to property. In my opinion, the applicant has not demonstrated adequate access to Block 2. Further, I still contend access to lots in any platted subdivision should be provided by public rights-of-way. I do not think 17 residential lots will have an impact on Weld County Road 17.

(R-1, Agriculture) uses for a parcel of land that is west of WCR 17 and south of WCR 60. The Greeley Planning Commission found that the Greeley Comprehensive Plan does not directly address the issue of subdivisions located outside of the Long-Range Expected Growth Area; therefore, the proposal is not in conflict with it. The Planning Commission also requests that Weld County consider the policies presented in Resolution 7, 1985, and attempt to realize the spirit and intent of these policies in its deliberation and findings. Resolution 7, 1985 was adopted by the Greeley Planning Commission in response to the Weld County Commissioners adoption of subdivision regulations in 1985 for the unincoproated portions of the county. This resolution directs the City of Greeley Planning staff to ensure that the following standards are forwarded to the Weld County Planning Department: (1) there is adequate dedication of appropriate right of way; (2) that the overall gross density of a projects does not exceed one dwelling unit per 20 acres outside the 2010 growth ring and one dwelling unit per 10 acres within the 2010 growth ring; and (3) appropriate setbacks are maintained. In addition, Resolution 7, 1985, suggests the following standards: (1) development should be located within urban areas where a full complement of services are provided; and (2) development should be clustered so as to preserve agricultural lands and to accommodate future potential urban development.

Dear Brian: In our discussions with you there were questions about the validity of the access to Block 2 of WindSong Ranch PUD. We are providing the following information to show compliance with Section 28.7 . 1 .6 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. In addition, this letter will serve as our separate proposal for off-site road improvements. Block 2 of our development contains two (2 ) residential lots. We expect these lots will generate from ten to twenty ADT. Presently access to this portion of the property is by an existing gravel drive which proceeds south from Weld County Road 60 (gravel road) , crosses the Great Western railroad tracks, and then enters the property. This gravel drive varies from 17 feet to 23 feet in width. In order to provide adequate, safe, and convenient access to the two residential lots, Lind Land Company proposes to widen the access drive to a uniform width of 20 feet. A minimum of six inches of base coarse will be installed on the road. In discussions with the Great Western Railroad management, we have agreed the railroad track crossing will also be improved to 20 feet in width and the cross buck railroad warning signs will be relocated from Weld County Road 17 to the drive. In addition, the intersection of this drive with Weld County Road 60 will be improved with 30 foot curve returns. With this letter you will find a copy of a road easement between the former owners of the property and the former owners of the gas well. This document has been recorded in Weld County. As part of the closing on this property, Lind Land Company was conveyed this permanent easement as a property right. A fully signed copy will be forthcoming to you. 920531 11990 Grant Street, #410 Telephone: ( 303 ) 452-6611 Denver, Colorado 80233 Facsimile: (303 ) 452-2759 Mr. Brian Grubb Weld County Planning Services April 20, 1992 Page 2 This existing access drive has been the historical entry into this section of the property for many years. The Lind's have used this access both as agricultural tenants and now as owners of the property. The Lind Land Company, applicant of this zoning case, is willing and financially capable of upgrading this drive to standard conformance with the Transportation Section of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The improvements will be guaranteed by the submission of a public improvement bond with Weld County as the beneficiary. In the PUD plan stage, the exact amount of the off- site road improvements will be calculated. Cordially, TUTTLE APPLEGATE, INC. Gary J.
