To: Weld County Office of Planning Services
and all other interested parties:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Attached is our application addendum for Use by Special Review to allow
water ski tournaments at Lakeview Village, Inc. in Weld County. This
application is an addemdum to USR 881 of 1989 that gave us the right to
use the resevoirs as a private practice site.
In summary this application is an update of progress and will still be
used as a private practice site but also a private tournament site for
waterskiers. Spectators are welcome and no charge will be made to them
as well as no concession booths will be on the site. The difference ih
USR 881 and this application is merely the right to hold tournaments.
Thank you in advance for processing this information. If anyone has any
questions please feel free to contact Doris A. Pavlick at 303/452-5355.

LAKEVIEW VILLAGE, INC.
USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW APPLICATION ADDENDUM
SECTION 1
EXISTING LAND USE.
The land is an irregularly shaped 80 acre vacant parcel currently zoned
for agricultural use, that includes a 40 ft. wide by 1023 ft long strip
that is zoned residential. This property houses one natural gas well,
a natural gas storage tank, one inactive capped gas well, and one
domestic shallow water well. This land was not actively farmed or used
since approximately 1954, until purchased by Lakeview Villiage Inc., in
1988.
Agriculture or vacant lands makeup about 55% of this community.
This use is consistent with the rural character of the area and the
desire of Lakeview Village Inc. to be rural in nature. Historically,
the Lakeview Village property has not beeen prime farm land. Most of it
is low in relation to the surrounding area and has received storm water
run off, irrigation ditch overflow, and other ditch flows from a number
of sources. Agriculture pursuits of the Lakeview Village members will
most likely be non-commercial activities and general open space
reservation. Equestrian riding, bicycling, and walking paths are in
place around the lakes accessing to the open space/agricultural parcels.
Two reservoirs were constructed in 1988-1989, on approximately 25
acres, 5 acres designated for parking, 5 acres are basically unusable
due to the oil wells and a marshy area (approximately 45% of the
property). These reservoirs were constructed to provide an irrigation
water source for parts of the remaining 45 acres, a private waterski
training site, and a competitive tournament site - the reason for this
permit application addendum.

SECTION 2
EXPLAIN PROPOSED USE.
Lakeview Village, Inc., is a Colorado Corporation consisting of the
user/members of Colorado waterskiing "club". Lakeview Village has
constructed two specially designed reservoirs built around the theme of
competitive waterskiing both as a private training facility as well as
a waterski tournament site and hereby submit this application for
approval.
The possible long term aspirations of Lakeview Village, Inc., are
to build a small community integrating the advantages of a semi -rural
lifestyle with a common recreational pursuit - competitive waterskiing.
Slalom course waterskiing represents less than one percent of all
waterskiing. It is low keyed, very controlled, and is much more a sport
than a recreation. It requires special equipment, from the type of
boats used to the lakes skied on, along with considerable commitment
from it's participants, both financial and in time.
This sport is not at all well known and is often confused with
general recreational waterskiing. Total participation in this sport
numbers less than 20,000 in the whole of the USA. Participation in the
whole Denver Metropolitan area numbers less than 200. On the other
hand, it is estimated that there. are over 12 million recreational
waterskiers. With these numbers, it's not hard to understand why most
people associate all waterskiing with situations typical to Colorado
State Recreational Lakes, with all it's noise, confusion, congestion,
and alcohol. Slalom course waterskiing differs significantly from this
form of recreation. As such, the typical recreational skier would NOT
be interested in this development.
Appendix A shows how in this sport, the boat follows a straight
path through sets of guide buoys allowing the skier to ski around six
skier buoys in a fashion similar to which a snow skier would ski around
the gates in a downhill slalom course. Since it's inception in the
early 1950's, this course has provided challenges to all who have tried
it as well as a basis for world class competition. Unlike any other
competitive sport, individual family members can ski, train and compete
together regardless of their personal skill level.
Right now, several sites host tournaments in the Rocky Mountain
Region. Tournaments are sanctioned by the Western Regional AWSA
Committee and this would be the case with any tournaments held at
Lakeview Village. To be sanctioned, specific guidelines for safety and
assessibility must be met. Each tournament is assigned authorized
personnel, Tournament Director, Tested and Qualified Chief Judge, Event
Judges, Scorers, Boat drivers, Safety Director, all of whom have gone
through AWSA training. The Safety Director determines whether or not
the tournament site and conditions are safe.
Conditions are carefully controlled at the tournaments and there
are very very few injuries. It is the safety director's job to contact
the appropriate local hospitals and ambulance services and make sure
3
951879
that if an injury does occur, the individual who is hurt can be quickly
transported to the appropriate hospital or doctor's office. Most often,
a medically trained person is on the site during the events. Lakeview
Village would be responsible for insurance, monitoring, and clean-up.
A tournament will take place usually over one weekend or an a mid -
weekday afternoon. The weekend tournament would start early in the
morning on Saturday and run until completed or until late afternoon. If
all events were not completed on Saturday they would again commence on
Sunday morning and run until finished. The mid -weekday session would
run only for the afternoon.
A tournament usually consists of between 40 and 80 participants. The
typical events held are slalom skiing, trick skiing, and jumping. The
boats that are used are the same type of tournament boats that are
currently used on the lakes so there would be no increase in noise
levels. The tournament would be run in exactly the same manner as
currently used in the practice at Lakeview -- one boat and skier on the
lake at a time.
To host the tournament at Lakeview Village's site would entail allowing
contestants to arrive in their own vehicles, ie., passenger cars, vans,
and/or RV's. All of these vehicles would parkonour property to avoid
any congestion on County Rd. 13, which is the access point to Lakeview
Village. (Remembering that this is a family sport therefore, several
contestants would most probably arrive in one vehicle.)
Lakeview has constructed vaulted toilets that would be assessable for
use by the contestants or others. All contestants provide for their own
water.
EXPLAIN NEED FOR USE.
Throughout the history of slalom course waterskiing, a key element to
a skier's success has been the availability of an acceptable site at
which to train and practice. At a minimum, a calm sheltered area with
protection from prevailing winds and other boats is required.
Initially, most skiers only had access to public waterways which were
marginal at best. As time went on, more and more people began using
public waterways for boating and recreational skiing. This pressure
squeezed the slalom course skier out of the few areas compatible for
training and onto private lakes which can be controlled and regulated,
and are generally considered to small for recreational waterskiing.
There are currently only a few lakes in the Colorado area being
used for slalom course waterskiing. "Membership" at each of these lakes
is typically limited to a small number of families to insure as high a
quality site conditions as are feasible. Although the sport's following
remains small in relation to most others, the supply of lakes has not
kept pace with their demand. Most of these lakes were not specifically
designed for this purpose, so they too, provide a mediocre site for
proper training requirements. Each of these lakes is being leased by an
individual who sells memberships on a year to year basis -with no
guarantee of continued availability. Members are as such, subject to
the whims of these leaseholders as well as the lake owners. Given the
4
951879
level of investment in equipment that one must make to participate in
this sport, this puts the skier at considerable financial exposure.
Annual memberships are also only available at considerable expense.
This situation is typical across the country and has been the impetus
for man-made training sites. Through specialized design, a man-made
lake can offer ideal conditions that are very rarely found in any
natural body of water while providing it's owners with a much more
financially acceptable situation. These "ideal sites" provide:
A) Strictly controlled and limited access to the lakes, to enhance
safety and to control wake disturbance. Boat wakes that are
allowed to rebound from the shore and enter the course can be
uncomfortable if not dangerous for the skier. First, no more
than one boat can be in use on a lake at a time. Second, only
boat types approved by the American Water Ski Association for
safe operation and low noise output are accepted. Appendix B is
a listing of some of the rules and regulations that will govern
our waterskiing operations.
B) Lakes designed or groomed to limit boat wakes. Shorelines with
very gentle slope (approximately 10 to 1), help to absorb and
quickly eliminate any wakes created by a passing boat.
C) Lakes positioned to minimize disturbance from the wind. As with
boat wakes, wind generated waves are undesirable.
The first man-made lake of this type was built in the late 1960's.
With that success, many man-made lakes have been constructed throughout
the country in both rural and urban settings - many of which are in the
midst of residential developments, and are often combined with other
urban hobby uses such as raising horses and even private airplane
flying. The track record has shown that a site of this nature is a
compatible neighbor to any type of land use.
EXPLAIN THE TYPES OF EXISTING USES ON SURROUNDING PROPERTIES.
A) Immediate Neighbors: Approximately 60% of the property bounded
by active farm properties. Approximately 40% is bounded by
unincorporated urban residential properties. Some of these
property owners maintain their lots to support equestrian
hobbies. Some are used as residential or home businesses. The
remaining 5% is bounded by Weld Country Road 13 and a non-
functional railroad right-of-way.
B) Outlying properties: These properties are a combination of
active farming, ranching, equestrian concerns, industrial and_
business, open space, residential, and unincorporated urban
properties.
THE DISTANCE OF THE PROPOSED USE TO RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES IN EACH
DIRECTION.
There are currently eleven neighboring residential structures within
1500 feet of the proposed use. The distance from the closest boat path
5
951879
on either lake to each of these residences is: 1. 900 feet (site plan
reference #002), 2. 1000 feet (ref. #003), 3. 1400 feet (ref. #004),
4. 1500 feet (ref. #005), 5. 1500 feet (ref. #013), 6. 1300 feet (ref
#009), 7. 1000 feet (ref #010), 8. 750 feet (ref. '#011), 9. 350
feet (ref. #002), 10. 1400 feet (ref.#029), 11. 1100 feet (ref. #004).
The next closest residential structure is over 1750 feet (1/3 mile).
See sit plan in Section 4.
THE MANIMUM NUMBER OF USERS:
Users will consist of the property owners, and at times their guests
or during tournaments, contestants. Generally, users try to stagger
their time at the lakes to maximize their private use of the site. Use
will mainly occur during summer months. The property will only be used
privately, not for hire to customers.
THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, NUMBER OFSHIFTS, AND HOURS OF OPERATION:
None required.
THE TYPE OF WATER SOURCE:
There are no central water requirements for the proposed use. (One
domestic well is located on the property but is not required for this
use.) The lakes are filled, kept at appropriate levels from water
sources as per the finding and ruling of the referee of the water court.
ACCESS ROUTE FOR THE PROPOSED USE:
Entry to the property is provided at one point from Weld Gountry
Road.13, approximately one and a half miles north of Firestone, CO.
Impact on this road will be very very low due to the nature of this
special use. Summer weekends, holidays, and vacations will be the most
likely times the site will be assessed for use. The roads within the
boundry of Lakeview are gravel.
TYPE, SIZE, WEIGHT, AND FREQUENCY OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ASSOCIATED WITH
THE PROPOSED USE:
Type: Personal vehicles of the users described above ie, passenger
cars, vans, campers and boats,
The boats all are of the type approved for this use by the AWSA
(American Water Ski Association). To be "approved" these boats had to
pass multiple tests of their design and safety characteristics.
Engineers and scientists from the United States Olympic Committee and
AWSA were responsible for the creation of these tests. This type of
boat is specifically designed for this use and will be the only type
allowed on the lakes. They have several design features that serve to
limit their noise output, including an exhaust system that is designed
specifically to minimize noise. First, they use the same engines that
are found in many regular passenger cars (not race cars), and are built
with long term reliability in mind, not speed. High speeds aren't
required of these boats as slalom course waterskiing speeds never exceed
36 mph. Second, the engines are encased by covers that are thickly
padded with sound deadening acoustic foam insulation. Third, the engine
6
951879
is located in the center of the boat surrounded by the boat's hull, the
interior of which is covered by a heavy gauge marine grade
of carpeting. Fourth, as stated, the exhaust system is designed
specifically to minimize noise. At the beginning of the system, water
is injected into the engines' exhaust manifolds. The exhaust then flows
through two mufflers which are contained beneath the boat's floorboards.
Finally, the exhaust flows out the boat's transom (rear) at water level
through valves that direct it downward. The overall design results in
noise output levels that are actually lower than those of average
vehicular traffic at similar distances.
Size & Weight: The personal vehicles such as passenger cars, vans
etc are the standard articles. The boats are approximately 19-20 feet
weighing approximately 2900 pounds. The motorhomes and camping trailers
range in length from 15 to 35 feet and range in weight from 2000 to
10,000 pounds.
Frequency: The personal vehicles passenger cars, vans etc will
access the property _approximately twice per week during the summer
months, with the boats, RV's and trailers approximately twice per year.
During the other seasons of the year, access is practically non-
existent.
THE TYPE OF SEWAGE FACILITIES FOR THE PROPOSED USE:
Vaulted toilets have been -constructed per the recommendations of
the Weld County Department of Health. (Building permit No.35877),
A DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRE PROTECTION MEASURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
PROPOSED USE.
All of the owner's boats are equipped with Coast Guard
fire extinguisher. If additional fire protection services
required, they will be provided by:

use.
No waste, stockpile or storage area will be associated with the
7
951879
TYPE OF STORM WATER FACILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED USE:
The Special Use that we are applying for will not significantly
change the land from it's historical use - the land will remain open
space or pasture land except approximately 25 acres now in the form of
reservoirs.
The reservoirs were designed, engineered and approved in accordance
with requirements set forth by the Office of the State Engineer -
Division of Water Resources. Their use will enhance the storm water
retention capabilities of the property and have no effect on the level
of ground water in the surrounding areas. An engineer's report is
submitted as Appendix C.
The dikes used to construct the reservoirs are classified by the
Office of the State Engineer - Division of Water Resources as Non -
Jurisdictional Water Impoundment Structures. It should be noted
however, that several design features were incorporated in the
construction of these lakes that are in excess of the design standards
required for this type of structure. All of these were deemed advisable
by our group, and 2 of them (extra freeboard and re-routing of existing
drainageways) were recommended by the State Engineer's office to insure
the continued safe operation of the lakes given our special use
intentions.
The special design features include: interior shoreline slopes of
10 to 1 run the length of the lakes which will eliminate shoreline
erosion; increased freeboard as recommended by the Colorado Division of
Dam Safety; a concrete spillway; compaction levels of 95% of standard
proctor density ASTM 698-78; and have ensured a controlled release of
storm water from the lakes by installing six inch drop outlets, which
operate automatically if the water reaches a certain level.
Lakeview has also re-routed and upgraded existing drainageways to
eliminate potential erosion of the dikes and increase the drainageway's
load carrying capacity.
No paved roads or parking lots will be constructed on the property.
Part of the dirt roads that had existed on the property have been
removed as a result of the construction of the lakes and those that
remain have been graveled and will be used for access. The minimal
parking requirements will be accommodated on unimproved areas of the
property.
TIME SCHEDULE AND METHOD OF REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF DEBRIS, JUNK, AND
OTHER WASTES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED USE.
No debris, junk, or wastes will be associated with the proposed
use. Trash collection and removal is provided by a local trash
collection company.
8
951879
EXPLAIN PROPOSED LANDSCAPING PLANS AND EROSION CONTROL MEASURES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED USE.
Landscaping plans associated with the proposed use are the planting
of trees along the edges of the lakes, (golden willows on
lake #2 and Aussie trees, spruce and maple on Lake #1). These will
serve as both sound and wind barriers. (The above has been done.)
Further planting of trees on the perimeter of the property will be
accomplished. Grass has been planted and maintained around both boat
dock areas. All of the property has been seeded with grass.
Erosion control measures include: revegitation of lake construction
areas with native species; planting of alfalfa & natural species and/or
trees on the open space; the planting of grass and trees along the edges
of the lakes; interior shoreline slopes of 10 to 1 that run the length
of the lakes, the slope at which wave action naturally forces the
distribution of dirt or sand; increased freeboard to allow for wave
action; re-routing and upgrading of existing drainways to eliminate
potential erosion of the dikes and increase the drainage load carrying
capacity; a spillway constructed of concrete; compaction levels of 95%
of standard Proctor density ASTM 698-78; and have ensured a controlled
release of storm water from the lakes by installing 6" drop outlets
which operate automatically if the water reaches a certain level.
No paved roads or parking lots will be constructed on the property.
Part of the dirt roads that had existed on the property have been
removed as a result of the construction of the lakes and the remaining
will be used for access. The minimal parking requirements will be
accommodated on unimproved areas of the property.
RECLAMATION PROCEDURES TO BE EMPLOYED UPON CESSATION OF THE USE BY
SPECIAL REVIEW ACTIVITY.
Cessation of the activity is not expected, however, if the skiing
activity were to cease, the lakes would still be used in their
agricultural capacity.
A TIME TABLE SHOWING THE TIME REQUIRED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND START-UP
OF THE PROPOSED USE.
The lake construction was completed in 1989 as well as approval for
the private skiing per the Use by Special Review approval granted in
1989 by the Weld County Commissioners (File No. USR-881). The holding
of water skiing tournaments can commence immediately upon approval of
this application for special review addendum. No further construction
is actually required for the holding of tournaments.
TYPES AND NUMBERS OF OPERATING AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT TO BE UTILIZED;
Operating equipment will consist of the owners boats described
above. No processing equipment will be utilized.
9
951879
TYPE, NUMBER AND USES OF THE PROPOSED STRUCTURES TO BE ERECTED.
The vaulted toilets mentioned above (Building Permit #35877) were
completed and inspected in May 1990. Two boat docks have been
constructed (one on each lake) per Building permits Nos. 41658 and 41659
in August 1993.
LOCATION OF ANY FLOOD HAZARD, GEOLOGICAL HAZARD, OR MINERAL RESOURCE
AREAS.
No flood or geological hazards exist on the property. Mineral
resource areas are limited to natural gas wells. Their locations are
detailed on the plot plan map in Section 4.
SECTION 3
A STATEMENT EXPLAINING HOW THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE WELD
COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The land, when purchased by Lakeview Village, Inc., had no existing
use. It's last active use was over thirty-five years ago. It would
therefore, require extensive effort to bring it back to a productive
state. It's suitability for agricultural productivity is also dependent
on irrigation according to the Soil Survey of Weld County provided by
the US Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service. (This was
borne out in the soil tests performed at the site, see Appendix 5). We
will not bring about any decrease in the land area of farmland.
Although not a part of our special use, with our planned planting
of grass and trees and creation of two reservoirs, our operation will
actually return as much as 42.5% of the land to a semi -active
agricultural state.
Our proposed private recreational use is consistent with the intent
of the Agricultural and R-1 (low density residential) zone districts in
which it will be located. Use as a private recreational facility is
provided for in both zone districts as a Use by Special Review. The
Soil Survey mentioned previously states too, that the soil types found
on the property "have good potential for urban and recreational
development". This was also confirmed in the soil tests performed at
the site. See Appendix G.
Our proposed private recreational use is an acceptable use in an
urban growth boundary area and is adjacent to an existing municipality.
The property is bounded on two sides by urban properties and is within
the Firestone urban growth boundary area and thus does not disperse this
type of land use. No extension of services through vacant areas will be
required and there will be no competition or conflict between this land
use and rural land use interests.
With the property remaining open space, access and use of the whole
property restricted, and the significant increase in the aesthetic value
of the property, it will become an area of quiet seclusion addressing
the needs of our families while maintaining the rural character of the
surrounding unincorporated community settlements.
10
951879
A STATEMENT EXPLAINING HOW THE PROPOSAL IS CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF
THE DISTRICT IN WHICH THE USE IS LOCATED:
"The agricultural zone district is intended to preserve
agricultural land and to provide areas for agricultural activities and
uses dependent upon agriculture without the interference of incompatible
residential, commercial, and industrial uses."
The land, when purchased by Lakeview Village, Inc., had no existing
use. It's last active use was over thirty-five years ago. It would
therefore, require extensive effort to bring it back to a productive
state. It's suitability for agricultural productivity is also dependent
on irrigation according to the Soil Survey of Weld County provided by
the US Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service. (This was
bourn out in the soil tests performed at the site, see Appendix G). Our
irrigation authorization will allow us to water the eastern most section
of the property. This section has been earmarked for our farming of
trees and alfalfa. We will not bring about any decrease in the farmland
area.
Although not a part of our special use, with our planned planting
of crops and creation of two reservoirs, our operation will actually
return as much as 42.5% of the land to a semi -active, agriculturally
productive state.
The Special Use that we are applying for will not change the land
from it's historical use - the land will remain open space only some of
it is currently in the form of reservoirs.
Our proposed private recreational and tournament use is consistent
with the intent of the Agricultural and.R-1 (low density residential)
zone districts in which it will be located. Use as .a private
recreational facility (tournaments also) is provided for in both zone
districts as a Use by Special Review. The Soil Survey mentioned
previously states too, that the soil types found on the property "have
good potential for urban and recreational development". This was also
bourn out in the soil tests performed at the site. See Appendix I.
At a later date, Lakeview may apply for a PUD permit on this land.
It and when this conversion is applied for and approved,it would be
within the agricultural policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan in
so much as the land is located in an urban growth boundary area. It
would also be with the agricultural goals set forth in the Comprehensive
Plan in so much as the land is located in an area which is adjacent to
an existing incorporated municipality and would permit low density
residential development on non -prime agricultural land. Further, it is
bounded on two sides by unincorporated urban properties and thus does
not disperse this type of land use. No extension of services through
vacant areas would be required and there would be no competition or
conflict between this land use and rural land use interests.
If and when this conversion is applied for and approved, it would
also be within the Unincorporated Community and Planned Unit Development
goals and policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan in so much as the
development would maintain the rural character of these settlements,
11
951879
would benefit Weld County citizens with improved aesthetics and a
significant provision for open space, and would also be a creative
approach to land development which would result in an environment of
distinctive identity and character.
A STATEMENT EXPLAINING WHAT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE, IN THE LOCATION
DECISION FOR THE PROPOSED USE, TO CONSERVE PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURAL LAND
IN THE AGRICULTURAL ZONE DISTRICT IF APPLICABLE.
The owners of Lakeview Village, Inc., as long ago as 1984, began a
search for land that would be suitable for their Special Use. This
specific. property was first identified as a candidate in May of 1984.
Over time, various members of our group met with several individuals to
determine it's suitability. Some of these meetings were with
representatives of the Weld County Department of Planning Services
(November 14, 1985), The Colorado State Division of Water Resources
(December 28, 1986), the Colorado District Court, Water Division 1 (July
30, 1986), the Firestone Town Council (October 10, 1985), the US
Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service (December 28, 1986),
various consultants and outside engineers (August 18, 1985), as well as
the then, property owners of immediate properties bordering Lakeview
(October 10, 1985 and September 165, 1985). Through these first and
subsequent meetings, it was deemed that this property was in fact ideal
in most all aspects, not just in conserving agricultural land.
A STATEMENT EXPLAINING ADEQUATE PROVISION FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND
THE COUNTY.
First, the reservoirs were designed, engineered and approved in
accordance with requirements set forth by the Office of the State
Engineer - Division of Water Resources. Their use will enhance the
storm water retention capabilities of the property and have no effect on
the level of ground water in the surrounding area. See attached
engineering report Appendix C.
The dikes used to construct the reservoirs are classified by the
Office of the Colorado State Engineer - Division of Water Resources as
"Non -jurisdictional Water Impoundment Structures". It should be noted,
however, that several design features were incorporated in the
construction of these lakes that are in excess of the design standards
required for this type of structure. All of these were deemed advisable
by our group, and two of them (extra freeboard and re-routing of
existing drainageways) were recommended by the State Engineer's office,
to insure the continued safety of the lakes and immediate properties.
The special design features include: interior shoreline slopes of 10 to
1 running the length of the lakes, the slope at which wave action
naturally forces the distribution of dirt or sand which will eliminate
shoreline erosion; increased freeboard to allow for wave action; re-
routing and upgrading of existing drainageways to eliminate potential
erosion of the dikes and increase the drainageways load carrying
capacity; a concrete spillway to eliminate potential for erosion;
compaction levels of 95% of Standard Proctor Density ASTM 698-78; and
have ensured a controlled release of storm water from the lakes by
12
951879
installing 6" drop outlets which operate automatically if the water
reaches a certain level.
Second, Lakeview's use will help control the prairie dog population
of the area. Known to be carriers of disease and creators of burrow
holes dangerous to humans and animals, their removal will enhance the
health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood and county. See Appendix
F.
Third, by significantly improving the aesthetic value of this land,
the welfare of the neighborhood and county will be likewise improved
through increased property values and tax base. It should be noted that
this fact has been proven already by the sale of a neighboring property.
See Appendix G.
Fourth, by having an active use on the property, it and the
neighboring properties will be less subject to unauthorized use and
vandalism.
Fifth, the property is bounded on all sides by fencing, has a lock
on it's only gate entrance, has been posted for "No Trespassing", and
covered by one million dollar liability insurance. In the event someone
unauthorized should enter the lakes, the gentle 10 to 1 foot interior
lake slopes would minimize the risk of injury or drowning.
Sixth, although there will be few users of the site, the use will
be exceptionally well organized and controlled. Rules governing the
site's use have been developed and will be enforced. See Appendix B.
Seventh, the traffic generated by the use will be about the
equivalent of 2-3 family residences, far below what might be expected
from a property of this size (80 acres).
Eighth, the use will be all but invisible to surrounding residences
in so much as the property's topography will aide in the visibility of
our activity. The lake dikes will provide a berm which will effectively
aid in screening any vehicles at the site from some neighboring
residences. Temporary parking will be accomplished on the property
which is surrounded by other open space properties. Additionally, the
noise from our activity will actually be less than that experienced from
everyday traffic on roads adjacent to neighboring residences.
Ninth', the type of boats that will be used in our current special
use as well as in tournaments, operate on normal automotive gasoline
types, unleaded, etc. No oils or other additives are every mixed with
their fuels. The boats are US Department of°Transportation -and US Coast
Guard approved. The boat exhaust has no impact on air or water quality.
Water quality in the lakes will be helped significantly by the aeration
characteristics of the boat's wakes and the prop turbulence. Water
circulation through the lakes will be continuous due to irrigation
usage, evaporation, etc. They will be deep enough to inhibit sun light,
even so, they will be stocked with fish types known to keep algae
growths under control. Water quality will not be affected by erosion
and siltation due to the design of the interior lake embankments. The
majority of these embankments are sloped at which wave action naturally
distributes silt and sand.
13
951879
Tenth, air quality will be safeguarded as construction areas have
been restored with natural vegetation species, grass and wind breaking
trees are being planted, and a portion of the existing dirt roads within
the property have been removed which eliminates extra dust.
A STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE USES PERMITTED WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE
EXISTING SURROUNDING LAND USES (INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING LAND
USES OF ALL PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY)
Approximately 60% of the property is bounded by active farm
properties zoned A-1. Approximately 35% is bounded by unincorporated
urban residential properties. Many of these property owner maintain
their lots to support equestrian hobbies. This area is Zoned R-1. The
remainder, approximately 5% is bounded by Weld County Rd. 13 and a
vacant railroad right of way.
Outlying properties are a combination of active farm, open space,
unincorporated urban, and business.
Our proposed private recreational and tournament use is consistent
with the intent of the zone districts in which It is located. Use as a
private recreational facility is provided for in both zone districts as
a Use by Special Review. A major concern for this Special Use is
whether or not it can coexist harmoniously with the unincorporated urban
residential properties located adjacent to it. We have every confidence
that it will, (Lakeview has been operating as a private ski facility
since the approval of our Special Review application No. USR-881 in
1989.)
There are approximately six waterskiing sights in the area which
are located adjacent to similar unincorporated urban properties.
Certain of them have been in operation for as long as 30 years and are
in fact, typically appreciated by their neighbors. Testimonial letters
are provided as Appendix J.
There are also several man-made lakes used for this purpose around
the country. The first of this type as built in the late 1960's and is
located near Barstow, California. With it's proven success, many such
lakes have been constructed throughout the country since then. They
have been located in both rural and urban settings. Many of them are in
the midst of residential developments and often combines with other
urban type uses such as private residential/equestrian and even private
airplane flying. One such three lake facility is adjacent to a high
density single family residential neighborhood, a private airstrip, as
well as open land. The track record has shown that a site of this
nature is a compatible neighbor to any type of land use.
Starting as long ago as October 10, 1985, we met with neighboring
property owners to inform them of our intentions, learn of any concerns
they might have so that we could address them, and assure them that we
intend to use our property in a manner compatible with theirs and also
serve to increase their property values. These meetings, along with
several others with local and state agencies and officials, proved an
invaluable source of. ideas for ways to better out development.
The following lists some of the things we have done to accommodate
the concerns we learned of: The construction of the lakes incorporate
14
951.879
several special design features intended to enhance the safety and
quality of their intended use (interior shoreline slopes of 10 to 1
running the length of the lakes to eliminate shoreline erosion and
reduce the possibility of someone falling into the lake; increased
freeboard to allow for continued wave action; a concrete spillway to
eliminate potential for erosion; compaction levels as stated before; and
have insured a controlled release of storm water from the lakes by
installing drop outlets which operate automatically when the water
reached a certain level); rerouted and upgraded existing drainageways
that were clogged and non-functional from lack of maintenance to
eliminate potential erosion of the dikes, increase load carrying
capacity, and reduce ground water problems being experienced on a
neighboring property; posted "no trespassing" sign, maintain a high
insurance coverage, organize and control the activities on the site; the
topography of the land will be taken into consideration to screen our
activities from the neighboring properties; and even invited the
neighbors to participate in the development of our governing rules.
Another concern is that of noise. The boats we use have several
design features that serve to limit noise output including the exhaust
system. They use the same engines found in many ordinary passenger
cars, built with long term reliability NOT SPEED. Slalom skiing has a
maximum speed of 36 mph. The engines are encased by covers that are
thickly padded with sound deadening acoustic foam insulation, located in
the center of the boat surrounded by the hull, and the interior is
covered by a heavy gauge marine grade carpeting. The exhaust system is
designed specifically to minimize noise - water is injected into the
exhaust manifolds, flows through two mufflers beneath the boats
floorboards, and finally flows out the transom (boats rear) at water
level through valves that -direct it downward. The overall design
results in noise output levels that are lower than those of the average
vehicle on neighboring roads. A noise report is provided.
NOISE REPORT
For those people associated with slalom course waterskiing, practice or
tournaments, the noise generated by the type of boat used is known to be
minimal. However, many people have only been exposed to recreational
waterskiing in open lakes where boat noise can be excessive especially
with "jet or dry stack" non -muffled exhaust systems.
The following table shows a noise level comparison between boats of
Lakeview's type and vehicular traffic. For clarification purposes,
noise data for vehicular traffic was gathered from an unobstructed,
paved section of US 395 located in Douglas County, Nevada. Noise data
for boat traffic was gathered on a man-made waterski lake in Sacramento,
California. The terrain at both locations was flat and free of noise
distorting obstructions.
The data was gathered with a Model 1565B sound level meter
manufactured by General Radio. Using background level readings, a
calibration of the instrument was made by utilizing mathematical
procedures obtained and approved by the EPA as well as the Nevada Dept.
of Transportation. Noise level readings in decibels were obtained at
100, 200, and 300 foot offsets from the center -line of the highway as
well as the center -line of the lake.
Vehicular traffic was broken down into three groups: passenger
15
951879
cars; pickups, vans and motorhomes; and light duty trucks. It did not
include heavy duty or diesel trucks. The noises were the maximums
registered as the vehicles passed by. Noise from the boats were the
maximums registered during a 36 mph drive -by as that is the top speed
that competitive slalom waterskiing is performed. It should be noted
that 95% of all slalom course waterskiing, private practice or
tournaments, is done at speeds lower than 36 mph where significantly
lower noise levels are experienced.
As shown by the results of this testing, an AWSA type boat
operating even at maximum speed is quieter than the traffic that would
be typical to the roads adjacent our site. Additionally, the centerline
of our lakes are at their closest points, between 200 and 1600 further
in distance to any neighboring residential structure than the centerline
of existing adjacent roads.

A STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE PROPOSED USE COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT OF THAT SURROUNDING AREA AS PERMITTED BY THE EXISTING ZONE
AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AS PROJECTED BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE
COUNTY OR THE ADOPTED MASTER PLANS OF AFFECTED MUNICIPALITIES.
The property is located inside the Firestone urban growth boundary
area, is bounded on two sides by urban properties and is adjacent to an
existing municipality. Our private recreational use is an acceptable
use in an urban growth boundary. No extension of services through
vacant areas will be required and there will be no competition or
conflict between this land use and the rural land use interests.
The Special Use addendum that we are applying for will not
significantly change the land from it's historical use - the land will
remain open space with some in the form of reservoirs. With the land
remaining open space, assess and use of the whole property restricted,
and the significant increase in the aesthetic value of the property, it
has become an area of quiet seclusion addressing the needs of our
families while maintaining the rural character of the surrounding
unincorporated community settlements. The tournaments proposed will not
affect the land use any differently than was approved in USR-881 in
1989.

Dear Mr. Rutt:
MAR - 6 1989
By telephone call on February 16, 1989, you notified us of your
intention to control prairie dogs at two lakes which are under
construction, 2 miles north of Fredricks, Colorado, near the
intersection of Road 13 and 22. The control site is the dikes,
constitute less than 5 acres, and is bordered on two sides by the
Buffalo Acres Subdivision.
Pursuant to the label for the control chemical, you have
contacted us to determine if black -footed ferrets, a Federally
listed endangered species, may be present at the site where the
control is to occur. The issue is that prairie dog control may
adversely affect black -footed ferrets, directly by killing
ferrets or indirectly by destroying their primary food base, the
prairie dog.
The Service's interest in this matter is limited to determining
the likelihood of black -footed ferrets being present in the
control area and if present ensuring that they are not adversely
impacted.
Under certain circumstances, the Service believes that there is
very little chance that ferrets could occur at a specific prairie
dog town. These conditions are:
1. There are fewer than 250 acres of prairie dog
holes within 7 kilometers (4.2 miles) of the
proposed control site.
2. There is a high degree of urbanization in the
immediate area of the control site, or;
RPPEivotx Z>
951.879
T. Rutt 2
3. There has been a black -footed ferret survey
conducted in the control area which has resulted
in no ferrets being located.
For your particular control site, based on information you have
provided, we believe that condition number 2 applies and the area
can be considered urbanized. There is very little chance that
black -footed ferrets occur at the control site.
If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.
Sincerely,

Ms. Doris Pavlick
Northglenn, Co.
In reference to our discussion on property values around or overlooking a lake.
In my opinion, the value of any land, improved or vacant, large or small, that overlooks a
lake goes up in value. In the city of Longmont, homes are being built around Mc Intosh
Lake. These homes will sell for $190,000.00 to $270,000.00 on the south end of the lake
and the new construction on the north shore range from $275,000.00 to $385,000.00.
This private lake is used by a private boat club and the homes around this lake have no
right to use the lake for any purpose.
Gaynor Lake is located approx. 2 miles south of Longmont. This lake has many homes
built around the lake and most homes do not have a good view of the lake itself. This area
is in high demand and the last sale in the Gaynor Lake Subdivision was 9/3/93 and sold for
$196,000.00.. Currently there are no homes for sale.
There are numerous lakes, both public and private in this area, Terry, Lone Tree, Mc
Intosh, Highland, Union, are just a few. Any building site or home for sale with a view of
the lakes seems to sell very fast. In view of the existing real estate market, low interest
rates, etc, it would be difficult to find a property around or overlooking a lake.
The adversity of boats or water activities on the lakes in this area seems to be very
minimal with the people I know who live around lakes. I have never had a buyer state to
me that they didn't like a lake front property because of water skiing or boating activities,
and I have been in real estate for 18 years intheLongmont area. Lake view property and
homes around a golf course will sell faster than other homes if the price is reasonable for
the property, of course these properties are always higher because of the views.
This is my opinion only as a Real Estate Broker in the Longmont area. I have no interest
now or in the future in purchasing any property around a lake, golfcourse, or around the
development known as Lakeview Village Inc.. I have received no compensation for this
letter in any form.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to voice the experience of a home owner who has lived in
close proximity to a private water ski lake for the past six years.
First, let me say that the noise level from the lake's water ski activity is
minimal and actually quite enjoyable. Even though I am not a water ski
enthusiast, I enjoy watching the activity and it makes an interesting back
drop.
Second, because this is a sport requiring both serious capital investment
and skill level, the caliber of participants is excellent and the behavior is
very acceptable, even for my children who watch from the yard.
Again, this is an opinion formed after living with a water ski lake for the
past six years. Please feel free to contact me personally if you have any
questions.
