Meadow Brook Farm Proposed Estate Rezoning Narrative
1. The proposed Meadow Brook Farm development is within the urban growth boundary
of the Town of Windsor and the City of Greeley. It is to be developed into a minor
subdivision of 6 large lots that are compatible with rural living. The goals and policies
within the urban growth boundaries are intended to address the development of land on
the border of a municipality. They are also intended to promote harmonious and mutually
beneficial uses of land among the various jurisdictions in and around Weld County. This
proposed rezoning is compatible with those goals and policies. The land use
considerations include provisions for population and economic growth. The Weld County
Comprehensive Plan recognizes that future growth will require continued urban land area
expansion within the municipal urban growth boundary areas. Much of the future
expansion will, as it has in the past, require the conversion of land categorized as
farmland. The history of the proposed development area shows that about 12 acres has
been cropped into winter wheat with only one crop in every two years. About 10 acres of
this land lies either in the drainage ravine or on the steep side slopes adjacent thereto and
is not usable for pasture or farming. The environment on land that is not now, or ever has
been, economical as a part of any farming unit. Its foreseeable highest and best use is to
be developed as large lot residential and open space. Such use is compatible with the
Weld County Comprehensive Plan.
2. Surrounding Land Uses
All adjacent properties are zoned agricultural and are used as such. The proposed uses of
the Pioneer Estates development are compatible with the residential -type development
immediately to the east that includes a few scattered houses on large lots and the
Windsong subdivision along WCR 17. The Pioneer Estates Development is in the urban
growth boundary of both Windsor and Greeley.
3. Public Water and Sewer
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by a septic system. Excerpts from the "Soil
Survey of Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part" (Exhibit "C") developed by the Soil
Conservation Society, which is included in this application, show that there is only a slight
degree of soil limitation concerning septic tank absorption fields. A slight degree of soil
limitation indicates that the soils in the area are generally favorable for septic tank and
absorption fields and limitations are minor and easily overcome.
4. Domestic water service will be provided by the Little Thompson Water District. The
Little Thompson Water District has expressed their commitment to provide water to
Pioneer Estates in a memo received in January 1994, see exhibit "B".
5. Soils
This application is being accompanied by guideline excerpts from the published "Soil
Survey of Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part" (Exhibit "C") developed by the United
States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (SCS). The information
from that report indicates that there may be some limitations on development by the soils
372663
in the area. The SCS has classified the soils from slight to moderate difficulties for
dwelling and road construction for one or more reasons. The soils on the site are fine
sandy loam and have a low shrink/swell potential. As stated above, the SC. information is
a guide. Any actual construction of dwellings or roads must be preceded by extensive soil
surveys and tests of the specific material which will result in development of exacting
specifications for foundation and roadway designs. The Applicant, on the advice of his
professional engineer, believes that he can develop a sound, feasible project using these
soils. Should detailed testing reveal that such construction is positively infeasible, which is
highly unlikely, the project plans would be altered accordingly.
Generally, the soils are predicted to be adequate, with proper precautions and design for
residential development since the soil loading for residents will be less than for industrial
or commercial construction. The soil conditions in the area are generally acceptable for
construction as evidenced by existing dwellings and other structures in the area.
6. Roadway System
Existing roadway is adequate to meet the needs of a minor subdivision of 6 large lots.
7. Mineral Deposits
Review of soils maps and county maps does not indicate the presence of underlying
mineral deposits on the subject area.
8, 9, & 10 Hazard Areas
The area is not in a flood -plain, geological hazard and/or Weld County Airport overlay
district. The land also complies with Section 50 as outlined in the Weld County
Ordinance.
