Weld County, Colorado
I. Project Description
The location of the proposed Hurt Annexation is generally shown on
Exhibit A and specifically shown as Exhibit B. The area to be annexed
includes approximately 54.966 acres of predominately vacant land and
County road right-of-way in unincorporated Weld County. Consistent with
the Municipal Annexation Act and agreed upon policy between the Town
and the County, the Town will not annex "one-half" of any County roadway.
In conjunction with the proposed annexations, the zoning for the subject
property is anticipated to change from Weld County agricultural zoning to
Town of Firestone Planned Unit Development with residential land uses.
Current uses include agriculture activities with related accessory uses. The
Town Board will review the annexation and zoning proposals in relation to
the Town's current land use and development policies and
intergovernmental agreements. A referral relative to the land use for the
property has also been sent to various County departments for comments.
The general relationship between the property and the Comprehensive Plan
Map is also shown on Exhibit A. The existing and proposed land use
patterns are as shown in the zoning application for the property (Exhibit C).
II. Municipal Services
Municipal services for The Hurt Annexation will be provided in the following
manner at the time of development of the Property:
Electricity United Power or Public Service Company
Natural Gas K-N Energy and/or Public Service Company
Telephone US West
Water Town of Firestone
Sewer St. Vrain Sanitation District
Fire Mountain View Fire Protection District
Police Firestone Police Department
Street Maintenance Town of Firestone
Prepared

Financing for the extension of and/or the improvement of the municipal
services will primarily be the responsibility of the property owner/developer,
through appropriate agreements and financing and completion guarantees.
Additional funding for provision of municipal services provided by the Town
will be financed through impact fees, taxes, charges and/or special
improvement districts, if necessary.
There exists a 18-inch water line near the 1-25 frontage road that the Town,
in cooperation with the Central Weld County Water District will connect to
in order to serve the property. A sanitary sewer trunk line is planned to be
connect to an existing trunk line which is located to the west of the
property.
The owner/developer will primarily be responsible for the costs of water
service facilities serving the property. A general map showing approximate
existing or planned locations of ditches, transportation facilities, water and
sewer facilities and other known utilities is shown as Exhibit D. Access to
the property will have to comply to the Town's Access Code and
Ordinance.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT CONCERNING FAIR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SITES BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FIRESTONE AND
THE ST. VRAIN VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-1J
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between the Town of Firestone, a municipal
corporation, and the St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1J (School District), a political subdivision of
the State of Colorado, to be effective as of the day of , 1997.
RECITALS
A. Local governments are encouraged and authorized to cooperate or contract with
other units of government, pursuant to C.R.S. 29-20-105, for the purpose of planning or regulating
the development of land, including, but not limited to, the joint exercise of planning, zoning,
subdivision, building, and related regulations.
B. Growth in residential land development and the construction of new residential
dwellings in the Town necessitates the acquisition of additional public school sites to accommodate
the corresponding increases in the student population. Requiring land dedication or conveyance for
public school sites or payments in lieu of land dedication or conveyance for public school sites
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "Fair Contribution for Public School Sites') will provide a
portion of the land to meet such demand.
C. To provide adequate public school sites to serve the Town residents of newly
constructed residential dwelling units, it is appropriate that the School District and Town cooperate
in the area of public school site acquisition by use of Fair Contribution for Public School Sites.
D. Requiring Fair Contribution for Public School Sites implements the goals and policies of
the Town to make provision for public improvements in a manner appropriate for a modern,
efficiently functioning town and to ensure that new development does not negatively impact the
provision of municipal services.
E It is a reasonable exercise of the power of local self-government to require Fair
Contribution for Public School Sites as a method of ensuring that new residential construction and
residential development bear a proportionate share of the cost of public school sites acquisition
necessary to accommodate the educational service capacity demands of the residents who will be
living in the new dwelling units.
F. Requiring Fair Contribution for Public School Sites for new residential construction and
development is reasonable and necessary to protect, enhance, and preserve the public health,
safety, and welfare of the Town's citizens.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT CONCERNING FAIR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SITES BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FIRESTONE AND
THE ST. VRAIN VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT AE-1J
G The Town and School District, upon consideration of the impacts of new residential
construction and residential land development on the ability of the School District to provide public
school facilities in the Town, agree that it is in the best interests of the citizens of the Town to
mutually enter into an intergovernmental agreement for the purpose of providing for Fair
Contribution for Public School Sites, as provided in this Agreement.
H. The Town and School District do hereby define the rights and obligations of each
entity with respect to the planning, collection, and use of Fair Contribution for Public School Sites.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the objectives and policies expressed in the recitals
and the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the Town and School District agree as
follows:
1 . School Site Coordination and Development Referrals
a. The School District agrees to locate future public school sites in conformity with the
adopted plan of the town, insofar as is feasible, and to consult with and advise the Town in writing
in advance of public school sites acquisition and site development.
b. The Town shall refer to the School District all residential land development applications
for review and comment concerning the adequacy of public school sites and facilities. The Town will
consider the School District's comments in conjunction with the review and processing of each
individual residential development application, and will implement land dedication for public school
sites or payments in lieu of land dedication for public school sites consistent with this Agreement
and the municipal code then in effect. If a nonresidential land development application is filed with
the Town that may have influence or effect on property owned by or activities of the School
District, the Town shall also refer information pertaining to that application to the School District
for review and comment. The School District agrees to promptly review the referred development
application and promptly submit its comments, recommendations, and requests to the Town.

PUBLIC SCHOOL SITES BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FIRESTONE AND
THE ST. VRAIN VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-1J
2. Methodology
a. Contemporaneous with the Effective Date and the effective date of the Town municipal
code amendment requiring Fair Contribution for Public School Sites, the Town agrees to enforce
such municipal code amendment as a precondition to the lawfully authorized construction of new
residential dwelling units not otherwise exempted under Section 5 below and the Town municipal
code.
b. The School District has adopted a methodology dated February 2, 1996
(Methodology), to determine Fair Contribution for Public School Sites for five categories of dwelling
units. The Parties agree the Methodology, attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit A. has been
developed in a manner so as to fairly apportion the cost of acquiring public school sites made
necessary by new residential development.
c. As part of the Methodology, the School District has adopted planning standards
related to facility enrollment capacities, public school site acreage requirements, and student yields
for each of five types of residential dwellings (single family homes, duplexes/triplexes, multi-family
units, condos/townhouses, and mobile homes). The Town and School District agree that the
Methodology is reasonable and the approved then-current Methodology shall apply to new
residential construction within the Town. The Methodology shall be the basis for computing Fair
Contribution for Public School Sites for new residential construction. The Town and School District
agree that the Methodology adopted by the School District shall be periodically reviewed and
revised to reflect the current standards and conditions within the School District.
d. Unless and until modified by the parties, the Methodology and its supplementary
background materials shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following factors:
(1 ) School planning standards which establish the student yields and technical and
educational specifications for facilities for each category of school facility (elementary, middle, and
high school levels), consistent with the policy of the Board of Education of the School District;
(2) The capacity demand of each category of school facility resulting from each
category of residential dwelling (single family, duplexes/triplexes, multi-family units,
condos/townhouse8, and mobile homes);
(3) The means for determining the per acre fair market value of land for each type
of residential dwelling; and
4/28/97 - Page 3
•
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT CONCERNING FAIR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SITES BETWEEN THE TOWN OF FIRESTONE AND
THE ST. VRAIN VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-1J
(4) The procedure for calculating Fair Contribution for Public School Sites required
and applicable to each type of residential dwelling.
a The Methodology shall be updated periodically as conditions warrant by the mutual
consent of the Town and the School District. A copy of the updated Methodology shall be
furnished to the Town within 30 days after its adoption by the School District. The Town shall hold
a public hearing before revising the Methodology.
3. Fair Contribution for Public School Sites Requirement
a. As Fair Contribution for Public School Sites, any person or entity, as part of an
applicable land development application shall dedicate or convey land for a public school site to the
School District, or in the event the dedication of land is not deemed feasible or in the best interests
of the School District as determined by the Superintendent or designee, the School District may
require a payment in lieu of land dedication or conveyance to the School District. The manner and
amount of either type of Fair Contribution for Public School Sites shall be as stated in this
Agreement and the incorporated Methodology. This shall not preclude the School District and any
person or entity from mutually agreeing to resolve the issue of Fair Contribution for Public School
Sites in a manner other than as stated above.
b. If the Fair Contribution for Public School Sites includes the dedication of land,
according to paragraph 3.a. above, the Town agrees before recording of the final plat to require
proof that the dedication has been made to the School District in accordance with the following
requirements:
(1 ) The person or entity has conveyed to the School District by general warranty
deed, title to the land slated for dedication, which title is to be free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances, and exceptions (except those approved in writing by the School District), including,
without limitation, real property taxes, which will be prorated to the date of conveyance or
dedication.
(2) At the time of dedication or conveyance, the person or entity shall provide a
title insurance commitment and policy in an amount equal to the fair market value of the dedicated
property. At the appropriate time, not later than the issuance of the first building permit for the
land development project, the person or entity shall also pay or provide for the payment of one-
half of street development costs, and shall either provide, or pay or make provision for the
payment of the costs associated with making improvements for water, sewer, and utilitieS stubbed
to the dedicated land, and for overlot grading of the dedicated land.

c. The Town agrees that before issuing a building permit for any residential dwelling unit
not otherwise exempted under Section 5 below, it will require proof that the Fair Contribution for

receives as Fair Contribution for Public School Sites, and all funds it may receive from the sale of
land dedicated or conveyed as Fair Contribution for Public School Sites. The School District shall
meet all requirements of C.R.S. 29.1-801 to -803, if applicable. The School District shall be solely
responsible for each Fair Contribution for Public School Sites it receives. No Fair Contribution for

of the Colorado Constitution.
b. The School District shall use all funds it receives as Fair Contribution for Public School
Sites solely for acquisition, development, or expansion of public school sites or for capital facilities
planning, site acquisition, or school site capital outlay purposes within the senior high school feeder
attendance area boundaries that include the residential dwelling unit for which the Fair Contribution
for Public School Sites was paid. Subject to the limitations in this Agreement, the time for, nature,
method, and extent of each public school site planning, acquisition, or development shall be within
the sole discretion of the School District.
c. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any funds received as Fair
Contribution for Public School Sites the School District has not used for acquisition or development
of public school sites within ten years of collection it shall tender for refund, with interest earned
and credited according to C.R.S. 29-1.801 to -803. to the person who made the Fair Contribution
for Public School Sites. The School District shall give written notice by first-class mail to the person
who made the Fair Contribution for Public School Sites at his or her address as reflected in the
records maintained by the School District. If the person does not file a written claim for refund of
the funds within the School District within 90 days of the mailing of such notice, the Fair
Contribution for Public School Sites refund shall be forfeited and revert to the School District to be
utilized for capital facilities or improvements that will benefit the residence for which Fair

determined in accordance with the following :
4 . 1 Referral . The COUNTY will refer all proposals for
Development within the Southern Weld Planning area to all
three MUNICIPALITIES for their review and recommendations .
Such referral will include at least a copy of the written
Development proposal and preliminary COUNTY staff summary of
the case . The COUNTY will allow not less than twenty-one (21)

December 10, 1996a
recommendation. If the MUNICIPALITIES do not respond within
such time limitation, COUNTY staff may proceed with its
recommendation. However, notwithstanding such time
limitation, any comments, recommendation, or objection from
any MUNICIPALITY which is received by the County on or before
the Thursday next preceding the meeting of the Board of County
Commissioners or Planning Commission at which the matter will
be considered will be transmitted to the Board or Commission.
If NO MUNICIPALITY submits any comment, recommendation, or
objection, the COUNTY may assume none of the MUNICIPALITIES
have any objection to the proposal . If one or more of the
MUNICIPALITIES submits a recommendation or objection, the
COUNTY will either include within its written decision the
reasons for any action taken contrary to the same or furnish
such reasons to the APPLICARLE MUNICIPALITY or MUNICIPALITIES
by a separate writing.
4 . 2 Development Outside Urban Growth Area. To the
extent legally possible pursuant to the Plan and the COUNTY' s
land use regulations as described in Section 3 . 2 , the COUNTY
will disapprove all proposals for Urban Development in areas
of the Southern Weld Planning Area outside the Urban Growth
Area . This section shall not require disapproval of a
recorded exemption solely because the smaller parcel is less
than two and one-half (23 ) acres in size .
4 . 3 Development in Urban Growth Area . The following
shall apply to proposed Development in any MUNICIPALITY' s
Urban Growth Area :
(a) Upon receipt of any proposal for
Development of property then currently eligible for
voluntary annexation to one or more of the
MUNICIPALITIES , the COUNTY will , in writing, notify the
proponent of the opportunity for annexation and notify
each such MUNICIPALITY of the proposal .

December 10, 1996a
(b) An essential purpose of this Agreement is
to ensure that Urban Development will occur only within
the limits of the applicable MUNICIPALITY or in areas
which are eligible for annexation to such MUNICIPALITY.
Therefore, as a condition of approval of any rezoning,
planned unit development, subdivision, or use by special
review for any commercial or industrial use pursuant to
§31 .4 . 18 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance #89, as .
amended or renumbered (Exhibit A) , the COUNTY shall
require that there be executed annexation agreement
between the applicant and the MUNICIPALITY which requires
the owners to annex the property to the MUNICIPALITY upon
the terms and conditions and within the time stated in
the agreement . No such agreement shall be required in
the case of a recorded exemption, subdivision exemption,
or use by special review for oil and gas wells .
c) The MUNICIPALITY will extend, or use its
best efforts to cause any special district providing
sewer services within the MUNICIPALITY to extend,
sanitary sewer service to property in the MUNICIPALITY' s
Urban Growth Area, subject to applicable rules and
regulations . Such rules and regulations , if the
MUNICIPALITY is the entity extending such sewer services,
shall include provisions requiring a written contract for
extraterritorial service and the construction of new
mains and other facilities necessary to serve the
property, with costs of such construction assessed in
accordance with said rules and regulations . If the
MUNICIPALITY is the entity extending such sewer services,
the MUNICIPALITY agrees to give notice of any proposed
change in such rules and regulations to the COUNTY at
least twenty-one (21) days prior to adoption.

(d) Each MUNICIPALITY provides municipal water
service to property within its boundaries, subject to its
rules and regulations . Each MUNICIPALITY furnishes such
water service pursuant to agreements with one or more
water districts and/or water conservancy districts .
Each such agreement prohibits the applicable MUNICIPALITY
from serving outside its boundaries or outside the
boundaries of the applicable water district . Water
service is currently available directly from one or more
of said districts in portions of the Urban Growth Area,
subject to the applicable district ' s rules and
regulations . Contemporaneously with the development of
the Plan, the MUNICIPALITY will negotiate in good faith
with the applicable water district to explore ways in
which the extension of water service within five years
outside each MUNICIPALITY' S boundaries , particularly in
areas not presently included in a district ' s boundaries,
can be coordinated so as to achieve the purposes stated
in Section 1 above while still recognizing the rights and
obligations of each such district .
(e) In recognition of the availability of
water and sewer service from a MUNICIPALITY or a district
within the Urban Growth Area as indicated in paragraphs
(c) and (d) above, the COUNTY will require water and
sewer service therefrom as a condition of approval of any
subdivision, rezoning or planned unit development, and
will not approve such Development until and unless the
applicant has obtained an approved written contract for
same with the applicable MUNICIPALITY and/or district .
This Agreement shall be prima facie evidence of the
availability of municipal water and sewer service within the
meaning of §32-1-203 (2 . 5) (a , C. R. S .

(f) The COUNTY will not grant any waiver of
the then-current street standards of any of the
MUNICIPALITIES for any Development without the consent of
the affected MUNICIPALITY or MUNICIPALITIES . Where no
standards have been adopted, the COUNTY will apply the
MUD street standards .
(g) To the extent legally possible pursuant to
the Plan and the COUNTY' s land use regulations as
described in Section 3 .2 , the COUNTY will deny proposals
for Non-Urban Development in the Urban Growth Area.
Nothing in this subsection shall restrict the COUNTY from
approving, by means of a process such as a recorded
exemption or subdivision exemption, the isolated
partition or division of an ownership parcel containing
at least one residence served by an individual sewage
disposal system at the time of adoption of this agreement
regardless of the size of the resulting parcels .
Nevertheless , the COUNTY will not permit any such
partition or division if the same would frustrate or
hinder genuine Urban Development , as defined in Section
2 . 6 of this Agreement , in the Urban Growth Area .
(h) If a MUNICIPALITY' S objection to or
recommendation of disapproval of a Development proposal
is based upon a conflict or incompatibility between
proposed uses in the Development and the MUNICIPALITY' s
anticipated zoning classification for the property, the
COUNTY will not approve same unless , in the COUNTY' s
judgment, (i) such conflict or incompatibility is
unlikely to occur, ( ii) that suitable mitigation measures
to be imposed by the COUNTY as conditions of approval
will eliminate or adequately mitigate adverse
consequences of incompatibility or conflict, or (iii) the
MUNICIPALITY' S anticipated zoning classification of the
property is unreasonable because of existing uses of
2543872 l-1h01 P- ,7., u, 21 199701 :39P PG 'iF 1" ✓gig'Ii

adjacent property. The MUNICIPALITY shall be given
notice of, and may appear and be heard at, any hearing or
other proceeding at which the COUNTY will consider such
issues .
(i) The parties anticipate that 94 . 3 ( f) - (h)
will be addressed in more detail when the Plan is
adopted.
4 . 4 Mutuality of Impact Consideration. The parties
recognize that decisions by one party regarding development
may impact property outside of each particular jurisdiction.
The parties agree that those jurisdictional boundaries will
not be the basis for giving any greater or lesser weight to
those impacts during the course of deliberations .
4 . 5 Referrals to County. (a) The applicable
MUNICIPALITY will refer each proposal for Development which is
presented to the MUNICIPALITY, and which lies within 500 feet
of any property in unincorporated Weld County, to the COUNTY
for its review and recommendation. Such referral will include
at least a copy of the written Development proposal and maps .
The MUNICIPALITY will allow not less than twenty-one (21) days
for the COUNTY to review same and furnish its comments ,
recommendations, and objections , if any, to the MUNICIPALITY.
If the COUNTY submits no comment or recommendation, or
objection, the MUNICIPALITY may assume the County has no
objection to the proposal . If the COUNTY submits a
recommendation or objection, the MUNICIPALITY will either
include within its written decision the reasons for any action
taken contrary to the same or furnish such reasons to the
COUNTY by a separate writing . Where the DEVELOPMENT is
proposed as part of an annexation, the provisions cf this
section shall be deemed satisfied by compliance by the
MUNICIPALITY with the notice and impact statement provisions
of the most current version of the Municipal Annexation Act
then in effect .

(b) If any COUNTY recommendation of
disapproval of a Development proposal within 500 feet of
any property in unincorporated Weld County is based upon
a conflict or incompatibility between proposed uses in
the Development and the County' s existing zoning
classification for the property, the MUNICIPALITY will
not approve same unless, in the MUNICIPALITY' s judgment,
(i) such conflict or incompatibility is unlikely to
occur, (ii) suitable mitigation measures to be imposed by
the MUNICIPALITY as conditions of approval will eliminate
or adequately mitigate adverse consequences of
incompatibility or conflict, or (iii) the COUNTY' S
existing zoning classification of the property is
unreasonable because of existing or planned uses of
adjacent property. The COUNTY shall be given notice of,
and may appear and be heard at, any hearing or other
proceeding at which the MUNICIPALITY will consider such
issues .
5 . 0 ANNEXATION.
5 . 1 Each MUNICIPALITY will give serious consideration to
all petitions for annexation of lands within its Urban Growth
Area and will not decline to annex such properties except for
good cause. For the purposes of this section, good cause
includes without limitation the following : (i) the extension
of one or more municipal services to the area would place an
unreasonable economic burden on the MUNICIPALITY, on the
existing users of such services , or on the current and future
residents or owners of property in the area itself ; or ( ii)
the area is not reasonably contiguous in fact to the
MUNICIPALITY' s existing boundaries , and its annexation would
result in disconnected municipal satellite . No MUNICIPALITY
will annex any property located outside its Urban Growth Area
unless such property is both eligible for annexation and is

desired by the MUNICIPALITY for municipal functions such as
water or sewer facilities, or other municipal facilities .
5 .3 To the extent legally possible, each MUNICIPALITY
will annex the full width of each COUNTY road right of way
adjacent to property annexed by it after the effective date of
this Agreement, unless the County determines that such an
annexation will create piecemeal road jurisdiction in which
case the more appropriate jurisdiction will be requested to
annex However if the MUNICIPALITY determines that such road
serves primarily COUNTY properties rather than existing or
newly annexed properties in the MUNICIPALITY, in which case
the MUNICIPALITY will annex none of such COUNTY road right of
way.
5 .4 Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the
contrary, no MUNICIPALITY is obligated to annex any property
within a Development approved by the County after the
effective date of this Agreement, if the Development does not
conform to the Urban Growth Standards established under §§
3 . 1 and 3 . 2 herein unless a waiver or modification of such
standards was granted by the COUNTY and approved by the
MUNICIPALITY.
5 .5 In determining off-site improvements to be
constructed by proponents of Development in each MUNICIPALITY,
the MUNICIPALITY will consider identifiable impacts on the
COUNTY' s road system resulting from such Development on the
same basis as impacts to the MUNICIPALITY' s road system.
6 . DEVELOPMENT FEES . As part of the Plan, the parties will
_stablish a schedule of development fees to be assessed in both the
Urban Growth Area . The parties will avoid duplication of
avelopment fees to the extent feasible .
