SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE #210, IN THE MATTER OF WINDSOR SERVICE AREA ROAD IMPACT FEES: Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to read Ordinance #210 by title only. Seconded by Commissioner Geile, the motion carried unanimously. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, read said title into the record. Mr. Warden stated a traffic study has been completed by Duncan and Associates through a Smart Growth Grant, and he referred to a letter submitted by the Town of Frederick, marked Exhibit B, as well as a letter submitted by John Folsom, marked Exhibit A. Jim Duncan, Duncan and Associates, displayed various overheads, marked Exhibit C, showing the Windsor and Southwest Weld area boundaries, which include approximately 131.48 and 192.56 linear miles of roadway, although it does not include State and Federal roads. He explained the impact fee formula which was used, how road capacity is figured, unit costs for various improvement types in both areas, amounts of vehicles new road improvements will handle, average capital improvements made by the municipalities involved in the study area over the past five years, revenue credits, net costs per service unit, trip generation rates by various types of land uses, and average trip lengths. In response to the questions listed in Exhibit B, Mr. Duncan stated money generated in a service area must be used to make improvements in that same area, and State and Federal roads will not be credited. He advised against exempting schools and nonprofit organizations because they do generate traffic on roads; however, he did state mining activities are typically not assessed in the overall study due to the temporary type of traffic generated. Following discussion, Mr. Duncan stated the Traffic Impact Committee or Board can conduct independent studies of facilities where it is unclear whether an applicant generates traffic on County roads or State or Federal roads. Mr. Duncan further stated agricultural or oil and gas operations can be charged a fee based on the results of an individual study. Mr. Warden stated Ordinances#210 and#211 will not preclude the County from entering into Road Maintenance and Improvements Agreements. He further stated if a municipality which was included in the study does not participate, the fees will still apply because the study was figured based on traffic demand. Commissioner Geile commented it would be good to have an Intergovernmental Minutes, October 18, 1999 992532 Page 2 BC0016 Agreement in place with any municipality which does not participate to ensure that roads improved up to a boundary will be completed the remainder of the distance by that municipality. In response to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Duncan stated there are areas which do exempt schools, and if schools are exempt, the specific types of schools must be addressed. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Duncan stated the fees are assessed at the building permit phase which will exclude existing uses and certain types of development. Responding to Mr. Barker, Mr. Duncan explained Exhibits A and B of the Ordinance for the record. In response to Commissioner Baxter, Mr. Warden stated the Impact Fee Committee consists of staff from planning and finance which make recommendations, and the Impact Fee Board consists of members from each entity to make the final decisions. Gene Habrock, developer within the Town of Severance, expressed concern regarding existing annexations which already have agreements with municipalities regarding road improvements. Mr. Warden stated the Ordinance allows for credits toward fees already paid to a municipality. Mr. Duncan stated the developer will be given full credit up to the amount already paid, and added credits only apply to improvements on the road right-of-way and excludes improvements such as entrance lanes etc. He further stated the improvements must be capacity enhancing, and each development which is still in progress during this transition period will need to be considered on an individual basis. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Ordinance #210 on second reading. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried unanimously. SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE#211, IN THE MATTER OF SOUTHWEST WELD SERVICE AREA ROAD IMPACT FEES: Commissioner Baxter moved to read Ordinance#211 by title only. Seconded by Commissioner Kirkmeyer, the motion carried unanimously. Bruce Barker, County Attorney, read said title into the record. Mr. Duncan stated his comments for the previous matter also relate to this issue, and explained Exhibits A and B of Ordinance #211 for the record. Following discussion, Mr. Duncan stated Table 13 needs to be replaced with Table 14 of the impact study. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. In response to Mr. Warden, Mr. Duncan stated Exhibit C of the Ordinance indicates the potential Broomfield County area, and stated if that area is excluded from Weld County, service areas#3 and #2 may be combined into one area. Commissioner Kirkmeyer commented it would be better to leave the boundary line at Highway 52 to ensure money received for either the northern or southern portion of the County, benefits that same area of the County. Mr. Duncan stated these boundaries can be adjusted at a later date, and added the money collected must be spent in the unincorporated area of Weld County with the exception of a project like Weld County Road 8, which has been annexed by Erie and is a project already listed in the study. He further stated projects can be reviewed at a later date. Commissioner Kirkmeyer referred to the letter from John Folsom, marked Exhibit A, and stated his issues will be addressed through this Ordinance. Commissioner Kirkmeyer moved to approve Ordinance#211 on second reading with the amendment to the fee schedule. Seconded by Commissioner Baxter, the motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the consent agenda. Ordinances #210 and #211 were approved on second reading.
