It is our understanding that the mineral resource issue addressed in the application has been previously resolved. While we believe that there is a potential economic resource on the property which has not been satisfactorily characterized, we do not wish to interfere with the County's prerogative on this matter. There appear to be no geology-related problems at this site which could preclude the successful development of the proposed Pre-release Center as presented, and we have no objection to the approval of this application.

Schuett Weld County Department of Planning Services Weld County Administrative Offices 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Mr. Schuett: This concerns your case number S-344, The Villa at Greeley, Inc., located in Section 2, Township 2 North, Range 68 West, Weld County, Colorado. Your project has been reviewed in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United States including wetlands. Reference is made to a September 15, 1993 wetlands determination conducted by Mr. Terry McKee of this office. During Mr. McKee's site visit, it was found that no wetlands exist at this site. This letter is to inform you that the proposed activity, assigned number 199380610, will not require a Department of the Army (DA) Permit. Although a DA Permit will not be required for the project, this does not eliminate the requirement that other applicable federal, state, and local permits be obtained as required. If there are any further questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact Mr. Terry McKee of this office at 303-979-4120. Sincerely, Timo .

N. of WCR 24 Del Camino wa CMah N>1 br! September 17 , 1993 Mr. Keith A. Schuett - Current Planner Weld County Dept. of Planning Services 1400 N. 17th Ave. Greeley CO 80631 Dear Keith, I have reviewed the Del Camino Prerelease Center PUD, (Fort Junction Filing #1) submittal . I have had some prior verbal communications in regard to this development, but offer these remarks based strictly upon the proposal as received. I offer the following comments in regard to the Center and the Fort Junction overall development: ROW and FUTURE ALIGNMENT OF EFR The submittal includes two documents from the Department relating to these issues. The first, (Exhibit Item 4A of the bound document) , a letter I prepared dated May 21, 1993 , accurately states our position in regard to future construction of the newly aligned EFR, and documents the required 80 foot right-of-way dedication which must be made by the property owner for that new alignment. As explained, this is a reversal of a prior position, which required construction (or guarantee of construction) of that portion of the frontage road by the property owner. Exhibit Item 9, paragraph 6, accurately interprets my letter in regard to this issue. The second document, (Exhibit Item 4B) , a August 17 , 1993 from Mr. David Davis, explains the status of final planning for that realignment. I have spoken today with the design engineer for the project, Mr. Dave Forsyth, who says that the alignment question is to be resolved in the immediate future. I will promptly provide you a copy of that design upon its completion. It should be noted by both the County and the owners of the Fort Junction property that although the Department has clearly committed to the construction of the newly aligned frontage road, we have not made a commitment to construct auxiliary lanes which are necessary to serve development along the state highway, as would be required by the State Highway Access Code. The submittal includes a Traffic 9.1: 1249 MR. KEITH SCHUETT September 17, 1993 Page 2 of 4 Del Camino Prerelease Center Impact Study (TIS) based upon data previously provided to the Department by Felsburg, Holt and Ulevig for our interchange improvement planning process. The TIS evaluates the need for auxiliary lanes as related to the development of the Center, and states that although a continuous right deceleration lane is warranted by 1996, it is not planned to be constructed as a part of this development. Rather, as stated on page 10 of that document, "the design, construction, and timing for the right turn deceleration lane should be fully coordinated" . The issue of who constructs that lane remains to be resolved. I am currently pursuing resolution of the Department's position. It must be noted, that if our position is that the lanes made necessary by development must be constructed or guaranteed by the property owner, the State Highway Access Permit required for construction of access from the frontage road must include those plans, along with a full description of the construction staging which will occur. The TIS attributes the need for a deceleration lane to the volume of traffic along the roadway, rather than to the site generated traffic, and places the timing of the need for that lane in approximately the same schedule as the future highway improvements. It would seem reasonable to delay construction of any frontage road improvements by the applicant until such time as the Department's construction project would occur. The Del Camino Center lies just north of the expected point of realignment; therefore, the existing frontage road adjacent to the Center may not be affected directly by the highway improvements. However, the features of a deceleration lane would begin to the south and within the limits of the realigned portion. As the horizontal and vertical alignments are yet undetermined, the applicant should be prepared to provide adequate additional ROW, if necessary, in order to construct the auxiliary lane and maintain the required roadway, slope, and drainage template. ACCESS The two proposed accesses have been positioned with approximately 580 foot spacing, which meets the minimum requirement of 550 feet, as stated in Section 4 .9 . 2 of the SHAC. (It should be noted that Exhibit Item 9 of the submittal states a minimum requirement of 500 foot spacing. This is in error. ) The north access shall not be positioned any closer than the approximate 210 feet south of the county road centerline, as shown in the Plans. Specifics of access 9i21249 MR. KEITH SCHUETT September 17 , 1993 Page 3 of 4 Del Camino Prerelease Center design have not yet been provided for review. Exhibits 18A and 18B provide copies of the access applications. Item 16 of the application requests traffic information for the generator. Both applications show the same traffic data. I request clarification that, indeed, there are to be 65 total vehicles counts per access per day (rather than a total of 65 counts split between the two accesses) . It is not possible to make this determination by referencing the TIS, as the data provided there on page 5 is presented as peak hour data. The TIS evaluation of the need for auxiliary lanes is provided on page 8, and states that only a right decel lane is warranted. My investigation shows that, in fact, there appears to be a "borderline" need for a left deceleration lane. Further thought must be given to the need for this lane. The dimensions for the right decel (given on page 8) do not agree with the requirements of the SHAC. The accesses and auxiliary lanes must be designed in accordance with the specifications provided by Chapter 4 of the SHAC. The surfacing information provided on sheet Al appears to be adequate. Access needs for further development of the Fort Junction property should be closely coordinated with this office. The frontage road is categorized as a Category 5 highway. Section 3 . 8 of the SHAC provides guidelines for access requests on a roadway of this type. DRAINAGE The Drainage Plan includes 30" culverts for the access locations. The culvert type has not been designated. We require that any culvert which falls within the ROW be CMP or CSP, rather than concrete. The drainage structure for the detention system at the SW corner must be positioned in such a way as to be maintained fully by the owner at a point outside of the state's ROW. LANDSCAPING There are no plantings other than grass in or near the ROW. Sight distance will not be effected. Any landscaping features within the ROW must be maintained by the adjacent property owner. UTILITIES Any new utility lines or connections which occur within the state highway ROW will require a Utility Permit. Mr. Henry Rangel of this office can be contacted at 350-2111 in regard to the necessary permit. My comments are based upon the submittal as received September 8, 1993 . 92'1249 MR.

Junction PUD, First Filing - Final Plan to the City of Longmont for our review and comment. The 22 acre± site is the northern portion of the PUD and is located at the southeast corner of the east I-25 frontage road and WCR 24 1/2. The applicant proposes to construct an 123,000 sq. ft. prerelease center on the western half of the 22 acres+. According to the application materials, the prerelease center is a minimum security correctional facility that provides a wide range of programming intended to assist offenders in their transition back into the community. The prerelease center will serve 300 offenders who have an average of 90 days left to serve on their sentences. I understand that the proposed land use is consistent with the PUD and the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Therefore the focus of Longmont's comments is on site design: specifically access and landscaping. Since this final plan is the first in this PUD, it seems appropriate at this time to determine and show the local circulation system within the entire PUD and designating access points to the surrounding street system. Then parcels, such as the one under review now, could take access from local streets internal to the PUD rather than each parcel taking access directly from the frontage road. While the City recognizes that the intent of frontage roads is to serve adjacent land uses, they should not be the only point of access. Weld County may also want to consider having at least the northern access relocated to WCR 24 1/2. If this occurs, please consider requiring the paving of WCR 24 1/2. The City understands that there will be a continuous right turn deceleration lane at some point in the future. In the interim, Weld County may want to require adequate shoulders to accommodate right turning vehicles as well as to accommodate bicyclists. /O 41 Alt This site is in the heart of Del Camino. It is both Del Camino's and Longmont's interests that the I-25 corridor present a good visual image to businesses considering relocation to our area and to visitors. Therefore, the City respectfully suggests that the final plan include berming around the parking area and more landscaping to screen vehicles. The application indicates that Fairway Crested Wheat is the grass proposed around the parking area and along the frontage road. The City's experience with this grass is that it grows in bunches and does not provide a consistent ground cover. We suggest Weld County require other grass varieties which provides better coverage. If you have any questions about this referral response, please call either Froda Greenberg or me at 651-8330. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on this PUD Final Plan.

II MiM�p� Case Number S-344 At the special meeting to consider the above captioned application, the Tri-Area Planning Commission voted to recommend that the application be rejected. Economic development efforts are directed toward light industrial and commercial activities along the I-25 corridor. These objectives are expressed in the appropriate comprehensive plans , or being presently implemented. By associating "criminal" , "prison" , "preparole", etc. descriptions, possible dissimilar development might be negatively impacted. Further detrimental results are anticipated if like institutions are allowed in the area, using this activity's existence as leverage. Considerable uncertainty is apparent regarding the state governments ' ability to expand associated activities of a like or more onerous nature. Safety considerations included the horrendous traffic dangers at Del Camino, as a result of past approvals . Although the DOT plans on rebuilding the intersection, the construction cycles are concurrent and only add to the already dangerous traffic. Further concerns were expressed regarding the Sheriff departments ' inability to respond adequately to Southwest Weld calls without adding the potential demands of this type of facility.

The Fire District has approved the plot plan, and the utility and drainage plan. The District's comments are contained in the letter of August 9, 1993, which is included in the Final Plan document. The Fire District has no objections to the facility as long as the facility meets the requirements of the adopted codes and standards of the District. The Fire District is particularly concerned with having good access to the site, since this facility will be a target hazard for the District. Two separate • access routes are needed into the site, including access to the East Frontage Road from both Highway 66 and Highway 119. The plan the District has approved will meet those access requirements. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, r Ch E.

The main access appears to be from the east frontage road of I-25 and State Highway 119 at the Del Camino exit. Weld County Road (WCR) 24.5 borders on the north and WCR 24 borders on the south. The state will be reconfiguring the I-25 and 119 Del Camino interchange in the future. On the plans, the applicant is showing a frontage road right-of-way to be dedicated by the owner which ties into WCR 24 east of the existing intersection. My question is, will that point match the new designed intersection, and if the applicant plans to develop and build that frontage road at the same time he is building the facility? If so, the applicant needs to supply an intersection detailed drawing at that particular location.

We have recently become aware that there is a proposal to build a minimum security facility on land to the north of the land we own. We have no objection to the rezoning of land, or such a use. In our society, there need to be facilities to handle offenders, and such a facility will not disturb any material existing residential use.

Don Feldhouse,Jean Hoffman, Richard Kimmel, Juliet Kroekel, Bill O'Hare, Tom Rulon, Judy Yamaguchi RE: Proposed Del Camino Pre-Parole Prison Facility Dear members of the Department of Planning Services, This letter is in regards to plans of The Villa Company of Greely to place a "pre-parole" (prison) facility in south west Weld county in the vicinity of Del Camino. We are two of the approximately 1.400 people described by John Coppmon of The Villa as "hysterical", "contentious", and "outspoken", members of the public who have signed a petition opposing the location of this prison in our community. In June, we attended a meeting sponsored by the Concerned Citizens Group of Del Camino regarding the planned prison facility and were pleased to see that attendance at this meeting left standing room only. Following the meeting at Rinn Church, we have read several newspaper articles which have depicted this facility as a harmless job generating facility that will only house "non-violent" offenders. As more people have began to investigate this facility it has become clear that some of the people housed in the facility will in fact be repeat offenders of violent crimes. However, regardless of the placement of violent or non-violent offenders in this facility, what might go on inside the controlled facility does appear to be the major concern of people. A greater concern was voiced regarding changes expected outside the facility due to the visitation rights granted to prisoners friends and family. This is an extremely valid issue in our opinion and it appeared to be an issue for many of the families gathered at Rirm Church during the meeting in June. As one father asked during the meeting, "who is going to watch out for my children waiting for the school bus at the end of a long lane on a day which happens to correspond with prisoner visitation days ?". Any one who tries to tell us that the all of the people who will come to visit the prisoners are just like you and me is not facing reality. At a time when small communities all along the front range are trying to fight off the very real threat of gang infiltration, it appears that Weld County officials may endorse a plan which will assist in introducing drug dealers, gang members and their friends and families to our rural communities. We realize that police protection in Weld County is limited by the sheer size of the county and by financial constraints and do not believe that the Sheriffs Department will be able to provide the increased enforcement that will be required by persons "outside" the facility. It is our opinion that the south-west portion of Weld County, if properly managed, will continue to attract businesses and organizations which will yield both a positive image and economic benefit to Weld County while still maintaining the rural character of this area. ,� 9441249 Although the prison facility may provide a short term economic benefit to the county and local area, we do not feel that this short term return is worth the potential negative long term impacts that will be generated by the facility. Although local residents and business may become accustomed to living next to a"pre-parole"facility, newcomers and potential new businesses will view the facility as a prison, plain and simple! Their first impressions will be identical to the first impressions of the 1,400 people who have signed the petition. Common sense dictates that most families or businesses, given a choice, would prefer to be in a community that does not have a prison versus one that does!!! We do not view ourselves or other members of this community as hysterical, contentious, or outspoken. We simply agree along with 1,400 other people that a prison is not in the best interest of Del Camino or any other surrounding communities. It appears that our only option for preventing this prison facility is to solicit support from elected Weld County officials who will make the decisions regarding this facility. We would like to make clear our direct opposition to this prison facility. We do not wish to see this type of development forced on our community and are ready to extend all necessary efforts in conjunction with the Concerned Citizens Group of Del Camino to prevent this facility. We would greatly appreciate your support and understanding in this matter and hope that you agree that the residents of any community should be allowed to make the decision on whether or not a prison facility is placed in there community.

We are asking you to not allow the zoning or PUD to permit this endeavor . As residents of this area we must prevail upon you and other commissioners this activity in our community is not conducive to family values. It will contribute to opening the door to unlimited crime thru drugs, uninvited visitors with poor moral values all in an environment of families with children . Our area is not structured with many of required support needs such as full time sheriff in numbers needed or visitor living needs near by or mass transportation to name a few.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Dear Commissioner Harbert; As property owners, residents, and especially as a family residing in Southwest Weld County we want you to know of our STRONG OPPOSITION to the construction of any correctional facility in any unincorporated area of Southwest Weld County. We are specifically opposed to the proposal to build a "pre-parole" facility in the general area of Del Camino (the intersection of Interstate 25 and Colorado 119 ) . We feel that such a facility would be damaging not only to property values, but also to further business and residential development of the area. We chose to purchase property in this area so that we could raise our family in a rural setting, away from the high crime and increasing violence of the city. I (Paul ) commute to Denver daily, and feel that is a reasonable trade-off for the freedom of a "country" way of life. We feel that the activities associated with a correctional facility, especially visitation, would attract individuals that could pose a threat to our family and property. We request and urge that you reject any and all proposals that would provide for the construction of a correctional facility designed to house convicted felons remanded to the custody of the Colorado State Department of Corrections.

Box 758 Greeley CO 80632 In the near future you may be asked to consider the construction of a pre-parole facility in the Del Camino community--in the general area of Interstate 25 and Colorado 119 (Weld County Road 24 . ) I have had the opportunity to attend meetings concerning this proposal; the initial meeting being organized the by the developers and proponents of this venture . In each case, it has been very apparent that the members of the community are unequivocally opposed to this project . While my initial perceptions were neutral, as I secured more information on the impacts of such a facility it became obvious that this type of facility has significant negative impacts on the community over the long term. Similar facilities have been proposed along the front range recently. In at least nine (9) communities, including three in Weld County, the local governments have investigated and evaluated similar proposals . After careful consideration, each of these governments has voted not to approve this type of facility in their communities . The overwhelming factor was that the short-term economic benefits of such a facility are overwhelmed by the long-term negative impacts on the surrounding area . The operators of The Villa facility in Greeley, were unable generate enough support in the Greeley area to secure approval for a pre-parole facility--even though they have been operating in Greeley for a number of years . Basically, it comes down to the fact that their past performance does not generate confidence on the part of the Greeley community to be allowed the opportunity to locate this facility in the area. Based on the negative response in the Greeley area, these individuals pursued similar opportunities in the Evans and Windsor areas, where they met with similar rejection by the local governments . Now, they are bypassing the incorporated areas, and pursuing their agenda in unincorporated Weld County where the community is more dispersed and organized resistance is perceived to be less of an issue. The underlying intention is that the Weld County government may be more likely to approve their proposal . Recognizing the fact that you will have a difficult decision to make regarding the proposed development, I have researched this agenda and have identified the following factors : 1 . The concept of pre-parole facilities is new to the State of Colorado. Legislation approving this concept has only 35 been in place for less than two years . livro2 . The proposed facility in Weld County is effectively an U``'/4 0 931249 e : Pc_ "experiment" . Whi- references are made to s, _ilar facilities in other states, no similar facility exists in Colorado . 3 . Under the law authorizing creation of pre-parole facilities, they will be required to take any and all offenders, including those with violent histories . Should any incidents occur inside the facility, support will be provided from Canon City (about 3 hours travel time) . 4 . The residents of this facility are felonious offenders . The statement that these individuals are "non-violent", reflects only the fact that they have not been CONVICTED of violent offenses . Research shows that those involved in drug trafficking are likely to have committed violent acts which are not able to be "proven beyond a reasonable doubt" for conviction. Nonetheless, their activities in the past indicate that they may be prone to or have participated in violent activities if only by their participation in drug-related activities . It should be noted here that a large percentage of drug offenders are not typically remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections . Those individual that are, have exhausted the legal system to the point where incarceration was the only alternative . Many, if not most, are repeat offenders, and ALL are FELONS . 5 . The classification (Class I-V) of a prisoner is as much a reflection of a persons ability to conform to standards of behavior within the corrections system, as it is the activity that caused them to be remanded to the custody of the state . The ability to follow corrections guidelines and regulations, interact appropriately with corrections officers, and the evaluations of corrections mental health professionals (an in-exact science at best) may reflect the the classification of inmates as well--regardless of their intial offense (s) . 6 . The impact on the community transcends the facility itself, as the inmates have visitation privileges . In both Ordway and Limon, law enforcement has noted that the traffic for visitors to the facilities is reflected in increased drunk-driving offenses, possession of contraband (e .g. drugs) and other offenses . This undoubtedly is reflected by The Villa' s admission that dogs will be used to search the facility for contraband. This contraband is provided typically by visitors to the facility . In Limon, the court case load has increased significantly as any offenses inside the facility must be adjudicated in the county court system. The county has had to measureably increase their investments in security at the courts due to the volume and types of offenses perpetrated in the facility. 7 . In speaking with individuals in Ordway, the economic benefits anticipated by the corrections facility have not materialized. This has been due to the fact that employees 931249 of the facility, w._sle residing within the con .ating limitations established, have chosen to live in communities outside the Ordway area. If one would extrapolate a similar impact in Southern Weld County, employees commuting 20-30 minutes could reside in Longmont, Loveland, Boulder, Northglenn and Thornton. Weld County would, in fact, assume all of the risks while hoping the few benefits actually materialize . The issues concerned with development in our county are extremely complex. The concept of balancing the economic demands and the harmonious development of the county need to be adhered to under the terms of the comprehensive plan. Exceptions to the comprehensive plan should be diligently explored as to their impacts and long-term implications for the county . As you are asked to evaluate the concept of any corrections related facility in the county, you are asked to keep the following criteria foremost in your mind: 1 . Since Weld County has significantly less population than those counties to its west and south, are we prepared to assume responsibility for managing and supporting the undesirable elements generated in those counties, or for that matter, the State of Colorado? We have to determine if Weld County is prepared to assume as disproportionate part of the burden for the State . Can we afford to sacrifice control over our own lives because Weld County is prepared to relieve the metro areas of their problems? 2 . Other counties have invited development based on perceived economic benefits, only to find the benefits are short-lived and the impacts are long term. A. The mountain communities that endorsed gambling have now found their communities are changed forever. The impacts on traffic, law enforcement, pollution and other factors are only now being realized and it' s too late to turn back the clock. B. The town of Ordway, has not experienced the rush economic development anticipated. In fact, the general feeling is that should Ordway have the opportunity to make the decision over again, the population would NOT support the construction of the corrections facility in their community . C. I have addressed the court case issue in Limon earlier in Item 6 above . 3 . Is Weld County prepared to experiment with the pre-parole concept, before the Department of Corrections has finalized their agenda and conducted public review? Without all of the facts, we may be endorsing a concept that once implemented is difficult (or impossible) to remedy . 931249 The potential exis to support development 01 y to realize that the business concept has changed as it is implemented. Once construction begins, it is virtually impossible to stop the process . The business charter proposed by The Villa is premature. The administrative and financial considerations, under the House Bill authorizing the pre-parole concept, may be modified at any time to suit the needs of the State--leaving Weld County having to react to the fiat of legislative committees and lobbyists . History shows that the state legislature is sometimes extremely insensitive to the constraints under which county and local governments operate . Addtionally, The Villa does not have a contract with the State . The business plan assumes the services contract will be awarded if they can show they have all of the approvals . 4 . The overall tax revenue to the county is minimal . Based on a $10, 000, 000 construction cost (The Villa' s number) , a taxable value of 29% (or $2 . 9 million) , and a mill levy of 122 . 839 will yield tax revenues of $356, 231 annually. When one applies the public services required to support the proposed facility, the incremental revenue provided does not begin to approach the costs of additional police, road, and other public services required in the area. When adding costs for additional requirements made on the justice system-- it is painfully obvious that all citizens of Weld County will have to sacrifice--while a very few benefit . When providing these incremental services within an incorpora- ted area, the associated costs are considerably less due to the fact that the infrastructure is already in place and/or the utilization of such services is high enough to justify the cost . In Weld County, few communities are positioned to assume this cost as evidenced by the recent decisions of Greeley, Windsor and Evans to veto this type of facility. 5 . Under the growth policies detailed in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, a proposed use must determined to be consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan. New development in the Del Camino area has been reasonably compatible with existing development . The corridor has been able to support a variety of commercial and industrial activities while minimizing the impacts on agricultural or residential interests . The proposed correction facility seriously compromises the relationship among the interests residing in the area. A. The facility as proposed by The Villa, is unique in that it cannot be categorized under the traditional definitions of industrial or commercial . B. The initial site proposed by The Villa will require a special use permit since it is proposed in an area designated for Medium Density Residential (MDR) and will be immediately adjacent to single family 931249 dwellings . C. Regardless of where the facility is located in the area, impacts on the local residents relative to traffic flows on visitation days, security/fencing, lighting, and construction will be considerable. Consideration relative to the impacts on the individuals and businesses that have made significant property investments must take precedence since many of the investments were made prior to the development of the comprehensive plan in 1987, and subsequently under terms of its adoption. 4 . The final decision must reflect a high sensitivity to the wishes of the surrounding community . 5 . The county has little or no ability to protect the community from the "associates" of the inmates who visit the facility--many of whom will have criminal records . The exposure the residents and business owners in the area will assume transcends the ability of Weld County to protect their interests . Ultimately, the Commissioners must make a decision that reflects the interests of those immediately impacted and all residents of Weld County. Based on the criteria detailed above, I encourage the Planning Commission and the Commissioners to reject any proposal for the construction of a correctional facility in the Del Camino area specifically, and Weld County in general . While I recognize that in the future conditions may warrant a re-examination of this issue, at this time I feel that the best interests of Weld County are served by not approving any business proposal of this nature.

We believe that this is not the proper area for a prison. It is to close to our schools and the mobile homes and shopping area of Del Camino. We also believe that it will bring the gang members .and the crimes that are related to gang activities to the area. Never again will we be able to enjoy the life styles that we now have. We will always have to be looking over our shoulders and behind us to feel safe in the environment if the prison is allow in this area. We do not think that we should have to pay for the police proctection, fire, and ambulance service for the prison. We now have only one deputy sheriff which is not sufficient but better than nothing. The jobs and the wages will be going out of this part of the county. These prisoners should not be our problem and we should let Denver and the bigger cities take care of their problems. Quit dumping all the trash in our area. Please consider our feelings and turn down Villa's appliciation for a Pre-Parole Facility and let other business have a chance to improve our area work and revenue.

Members of the Commission: I have been retained to represent the Concerned Citizens of Southwest Weld County in regard to the referenced application. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with an overview of the , legal argument and testimony which we will present during the hearing on October 5. At that time, we will deliver more detailed written argument and will present a number of witnesses on individual points. Our overall presentation will not be brief, but will be organized in a manner which will make good use of our time and yours. We look forward to the October 5 hearing. ACTION REQUESTED The Concerned Citizens urge the Commission to recommend denial of the application until such time as the underlying PUP district has been amended to allow prison uses. The process of amending the PUP district will best serve the interests of the County, its residents, the local community and the Applicant, as all parties consider whether a prison is appropriate in this area. 080\999913\71056.1 SEP 27 '93 15:35 303 298 0215 PRGE.003 ,m 40 921249 -_-cr ...]•.]J - x � *6 238 u215 P.804/U•O7 i Weld County Planning Commission September 27, 1993 Page 2 REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION OF DENIAL This overview is intended to assist the Commission in evaluating the Application and to serve as the framework for our presentation at the October hearing: t 1. The Fort Junction PUD District has been abandoned. The original PUD district was approved in early 1989. The Weld County Zoning Ordinance requires the landowner to either (1) present a PUD Plan application within one year of the PUD district approval, or (2) present evidence "substantiating that the PUD project has not been abandoned " Section 28.15.5. My review of the file has disclosed that this annual requirement was not fulfilled by the landowner in 1990, in 1991, or in 1992. The present PUD Plan application was filed at least four (4) years after the PUD district was approved. 2. Prison uses were not contemplated at the time the Fort Junction PUD District Plan was approved. It is critical that the Planning Commission recommend that the fundamental issue of rezoning for prison use at this location be the subject of full PUD rezoning review, not merely PUD plan approval. The present application process does not provide a full opportunity to determine whether prison use is appropriate at this location. No one can honestly maintain that the 1988 rezoning contemplated a prison. The Commission should recommend that such a use be reviewed in the proper manner: by PUD district amendment. 3. Prison uses are not permitted by the Fort Junction PUD District. The 1989 approval for this PUD district recites, as uses allowed in the district, all uses allowed of right in the C-1 through C-4, and the I-1 zones. Neither "prison, " "preparole facility" nor "correctional facility" are allowed in any of those zones under the current Zoning Ordinance. A PUD plan may not be approved for a use not allowed in the District. The Zoning Ordinance allows the applicant for PUD district rezoning to request the specific use desired; however, no request for prison or correctional facility uses was made. The intent of the County and the Fort Junction applicant at that time was to allow traditional commercial and light industrial uses. GE0\99998\71056.1 SEP 27 '93 15:36 303 299 0215 PAGE.OO4 9.249 • Weld County Planning Commission September 27, 1993 Page 3 The C-1 through C-4 district use descriptions ell describe the offering of "goods and services to the public." Zoning Ordinance, sections 33.2; 33.3; 33.4; 33.5; 34.2. These descriptions do not include or contemplate prison uses. "Prison," "preparole" or "correctional facility" do not appear as allowed uses in any of the C-1 through C-4 or I-1 zones. The lists de include police and fire stations, but the present application does not qualify for that category, even by analogy. The applicant is a for-profit corporation offering prison services, not to the general public. Police and fire stations are operated by local governments or special districts, and provide services to the general public. From the perspective of use compatibility, a prison bears no resemblance to a police or fire station: the public and neighborhood safety aspects of the two uses could not be • more different4 Prison uses are not listed or allowed in this particular PUD district; the applicant must first amend the district to obtain prisons as an allowed use before a PUD development plan is appropriate. 4. Processing a PUD plan application for a use not allowed in the underlying PUD district denies due process of law. Residents of the county have a right to rely upon the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. Among other things, the Ordinance lists uses by right, accessory uses, and the process to apply for and receive rezoning to a PUD district. PUD district rezoning, in turn, requires each PUD district to recite the uses allowed in that district. Uses in a PUD Plan application "must be identical to those located and described on the Planned Unit Development District plat. " section 28.9. Prison uses are not even mentioned in any of the use categories permitted in the Fort Junction PUD district. To process an application to develop a non-permitted prison use in that district denies Weld County residents due process of law by ignoring the requirements of the Zoning Code established for their protection. The proper procedure, which would provide due process, is to require an application under Section 28. 15. 1 to amend the district to add prisons as an allowed use, then to resubmit the current application. 5. The proposed prison use is incompatible with the Weld County comprehensive Plan and with the affected community. The subject property lies within the Firestone/Frederick/ Dacono Urban Growth Boundary. (Comprehensive Plan, page 32. ) The GED\99998\71056.1 SEP 27 '93 15:36 303 298 0215 PPGE.005 91249 SEP-2r 1:;J:; _6 3S K.C.'uJ.G. 303 298 0215 P.006/007 / • w' 7 'A Weld County Planning Commission September 27, 1993 Page 4 ) tri-area commission has unanimously recommended that the applica- e tion be denied. This recommendation should be given weight by this { Commission. (Comprehensive Plan, page 34, para. C. ) 4 The subject property is listed for commercial use in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area Conceptual Land Use Plan. (Comprehensive Plan, page 46. ) One policy of the I-25 PUD Area is that new development "demonstrate compatibility with existing surrounding land use . . . ." (Comprehensive Plan, page 49, para. 5.) The Concerned Citizens feel strongly that the proposed prison is not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. We will present detailed testimony on this point on October 5. 6. The application does not satisfy the requirements of the Zoning ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance sets out detailed requirements for a complete PUD plan application at Sections 28.9, 28.10 and 28. 11. The present application fails to satisfy these requirements, either in scope or detail. In many instances, the applicant has simply copied general data submitted in 1988 for the PUD district application. As we know, the 1988 application neither mentioned nor contemplated a prison; data from that date is of little relevance to the present prison application. Particularly in light. of an application for a use not permitted by the underlying zoning, the materials submitted are insufficient to satisfy the detail required by the Zoning Ordinance. CONCLUSION The applicant in this case has the burden of proof with respect to all six (6) of the criteria in Section 28.13.1. This letter and the presentation of the Concerned Citizens on October 5 will demonstrate that the applicant cannot meet that burden: § 28.13.1.1: The proposal is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. § 28.13.1.2: The PUD Plan applied for does not conform to the PUD district in which it is located (prison use not allowed) . g 28.13.1.3: The prison use applied for is not compatible with the surrounding area as demonstrated by GED\99998\71056.1 SEP 27 '93 15;36 303 298 0215 PAGE.006 91249 Weld County Planning Commission September 27, 1993 Page 5 the County Comprehensive Plan and local planning agencies. 9 28. 13.1.9: The application does not comply with the relevant Overlay District requirement.

Harbert : As a resident of Southwestern Weld County I have had the opportunity to evaluate all of the issues concerning the location of a pre-parole facility in our community . One of the significant issues that may have been overlooked in all of these discussions is the fact that this facility is being promoted by individuals who live outside our community. Their motivations are • not consistent with the community as exhibited by the petitions signed by over 1, 100 individuals opposing this project . Upon careful thought and consideration, I must state my opposition to this facility . I am aware that nine different communities along the front range have rejected similar proposals upon evaluation. I do not believe that it is in the best long term interests of the area to encourage or promote this type of development--regardless of its compatibility with the zoning regulations . This community is not prepared to serve as an experimental site to prove or disprove this business concept . The risks associated with this effort significantly outweigh any anticipated or perceived rewards; and the financial benefit for very few individuals should not take precedence over the wishes of a significant majority. As our representative on the Board of Commissioners, I am asking you to represent your constituents and oppose any and all efforts to locate this facility in unincorporated Southwest Weld County.

In a very small article reporting a meeting of Del Camino area residents regarding the prison which The Villa wishes to build, a Villa representative was quoted as saying that the majority of people were in favor of the prison, and that only a small but vocal minority were against it. If a person does not speak out against a lie, then he can be blamed for furthering that lie. If the above quote is accurate, then the person who spoke this has sold his personal honor and his credibility for a very small price. The statement is absurd on its face. The only people in favor of building this prison at the Del Camino site are the handful of people who expect to directly profit from it. What business owner do you know who would build his business next to a prison? Who do you know who will move to be near one? The I-25 corridor from Denver to Ft. Collins will be an area of continuing growth and development unless you kill it by allowing a facility that nobody wants to be near. If you believe that it is important that Weld County host this facility, the county is a vast area. A place is surely available where an inmate can't slip out and within 5 minutes have stolen a car from a gas station and be on his merry way. I have not met one person in this area who is even slightly unsure about the desirability of a prison in their neighborhood. Opposition is unanimous (exception: those who will profit) . You will have an opportunity to chose for the welfare of the residents of Weld County, or for the welfare the The Villa Corp. Who is more important to you?

It is important for the Commission to understand the operational intent of the facility in your consideration of this application. The enabling legislation, signed into law in 1990 described the purpose as follows : "The facility or program provides in-residence programs and services to instruct such inmates in obtaining and holding regular employment, in the process of enrolling in and maintaining academic courses and vocational training programs, in utilizing the resources of the community after release, in meeting their personal and family needs and responsibilities, in providing appro- priate in-residence treatment, and in participating in whatever in-residence specialized programs are available within the community in which such facility is located. " When the Department of Corrections distributed a Request for Proposals for the prerelease center in January of 1992 , they stated that: "the prerelease program design will focus on programs, identifying and assessing individual needs and establishing community linkages for for continuation of treatment and related services upon release into society. . . Program structure will include six ( 6 ) classroom hours per day, five (5) days per week, with curriculum on a twelve (12 ) week cycle. " The Villa ' s response to the Request for Proposals clearly emphasizes and reflects the legislative intent and the intent of the Department of Corrections that this institution be rehabilitative in nature. In the introductory section in the Application for the P .U.D. Plan, a Program Activities Summary is outlined. Attached for your enhanced awareness of the depth of the rehabilitative nature of the program, is a complete description of each program element proposed for the prerelease center ' s curriculum. 9Z1 w' ' :.. ,.

The facility anticipates that approximately 15% of offenders referred to the program will present needs that will require specialized services beyond the mainstream prerelease programming. Examples of these special needs include offenders who: -- lack the basic academic or cognitive ability required to actively participate. -- do not speak English. -- have significant, yet manageable physical or mental health limitations. -- are unable to confirm adequate release plans, especially in the areas of housing and/or appropriate community linkage follow-through. The Special Needs Offender (S.M.O. ) Component consists of a one and one-half (1-1/2) hour class period each day. The S.N.O. class provides enhanced individualized and concentrated instruction in areas such as: -- remedial writing, reading, and arithmetic skills. -- English as a Second Language. -- functional mental health counseling. -- accommodation for physical limitations such as ambulation problems, chronic medication needs, and services required by previous and anticipated medical services procedures. -- specific, enhanced programming and referral procedures for those offenders whose release plan has deteriorated and who, without specialized attention, would be released without essential requirements such as adequate housing, public assistance, community referral or employment opportunities. The principals of The Villa at Greeley, Inc. have discussed the need for enhanced Special Needs Offender programming with the Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Justice (D.C.J. ) . D.C.J. is supportive of assisting in the development of such enhanced services by cooperating with D.O.C. and the prerelease facility by earmarking a specific number of community, correctional beds funded by their agency in halfway houses across the state, to be utilized by offenders being released from the facility. In this way, beyond the enhanced services provided by the prerelease program, a continuum of services into the community would be better ensured through the effective use of local , established residential facilities that could provide the services and supervision required for this population. 901249 INDIVIDUAL RELEASE PLANNING COMPONENT This essential component sets aside three hours of one- to-one contact with an assigned counselor in the last week of each offender's placement in the program.
