The Plat identifies the 100 foot set back easement for the oil well, the 1994 edition of the Uniform Fire Code as adopted by the Fire District will also require a 100 foot set back easement for the tank, meter building and treater, these setbacks should be shown on the Final Plat. The fire hydrant to be located at the corner of WCR 66 and WCR 27 must be installed prior to const ction of any buildings in the subdivision.

February 23, 1998 FEB 2 4 1993 Shari Factln NFL . 4 'l Weld County Department of Planning Services 1400 North 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 Subject: 5-445 - Francis Final Plat for a 5-Lot Subdivision Dear Shani: Thank you for your patience with the City's response for this proposal and the opportunity to review this proposal to subdivide a 36 acre parcel into 5 lots. The City of Greeley Planning Commission reviewed this proposal at their regularly scheduled February 10, 1998 meeting. The Commission unanimously recommended denial for the proposed subdivision for several reasons, including: 1. Density - This proposal is located approximately one mile north of our Long- Range Expected Growth Area (LREGA), and, from the City's perspective, should continue to have a rural density. Greeley's Planning Commission has determined that residential density outside of our LREGA should not exceed 1 unit for every 20 acres. The current proposal, combined with the two previous recorded exemptions and the subdivision exemption would create a total of 8 lots and a density of 1 unit for every 8 acres on this site. 2. Regional Plan - The recently adopted Northern Colorado Regional Planning Study identifies this area as a community separator, which should be maintained as open space. This allows for communities to maintain a sense of place and provides a clear line of demarcation between communities. The Study also discusses the importance of regional corridors which go through the region, such as the Poudre River Trail and the Greeley #2 Ditch. The subject property and the area around it combine the community separator and the regional corridor to form a critical regional linkage (See Attached). Regional linkages offer the opportunity to maximize the benefits of the separators and corridors.

Service Area - The location of a subdivision in an area far removed from public services which does not conform to City Standards, such as the one proposed, is not appropriate. County developments such as these are hard to incorporate into the framework of a municipality in the future. Service issues, particularly relating to police and fire service are difficult when annexation is proposed. 4. Right to Farm Covenant - This site is approximately 3/4 miles from a proposed significant dairy expansion at the intersection of WCR 66 and WCR 27. The dairy was recently approved to expand. Land use conflicts will likely arise when residences are approved in the vicinity. Encroaching residential uses, such as the proposed, are likely to be negatively impacted by the dairy. The right-to-farm covenant suggests this use should not be approved in this location as well, since, according to the covenant, this use is an, "intrusion of urban users into a rural area." 5. Oil and Gas Develonment - The proposed site plan shows a 100-foot setback from the wellhead, but no setback is proposed from the tank battery and beater treater. To keep people and their possessions safe, a 350-foot setback from all appurtenances to habitable structures should be in place. This setback would still afford ample room to construct a single-family residence on all proposed lots. In addition, adding fencing around the appurtenances would be useful as well. • Eased on the above comments, the City of Greeley recommends the 5-lot subdivision be denied. If, however, the County decides to approve this subdivision, the following conditions should be employed: 1. A 350-foot setback from the wellhead, tank battery, and heater treater shall be retained for the safety of residents in the subdivision. 2. The developer shall be responsible for fencing the oil and gas appurtenances. 3. Access to Lot 5 shall be clarified to come from within the subdivision as the note on the plat indicates. 02/23/98 13:04 TX/RX NO.0145 P.003 ■ 02/23/98 NON 14:01 FAX 970 350 9800 GREELEY PLANNING 1004 Shari Bastin February 23, 1998 page 3 Should any questions arise concerning this correspondence, contact me at 350-9786.
