The summary of the last regular meeting of the Weld County Planning Commission held on October 25, 1996, was approved as read. CASE NUMBER: Ordinance #191 PLANNER: Department of Planning Services' staff REQUEST: Adoption of the Mixed Use Development Structural Plan Monica Daniels -Mika explained that approximately two years ago the Weld County Comprehensive Plan was revised, it was apparent that the Mixed Use Development (MUD) area deserved additional attention. Several public hearings were held to determine the community form, design and structure for the MUD area. On November 7, 1995, the consulting firms of Balloffett and EDAW presented to the Weld County Board of County Commissioners a Mixed Use Development (MUD) Plan. After review by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners the MUD Plan was not excepted. The MUD Plan was returned to the Weld County Planning Department for further review to develop a set of standards and regulations to ensure quality development and to increase the sense of community. Ms. Mika presented a brief summary of the MUD Plan which provides for an urban density area and the land use standards needed to preserve and enhance this area. This Plan is divided into four sections dealing with design related criteria and the intent for this criteria. Ms. Mika introduced Shani Eastin, Chris Goranson, Kerri Keithley, Current Planner's with the Department of Planning Services, and Drew Scheltinga, Weld County Engineer, who will present information related in these four sections of the MUD Plan. Ms. Mika explained that the majority of this Plan has been re -written by county staff with the exception of certain sections, especially the inventory section which was provided to the Department of Planning n 962434 SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 2 Services' from the consulting team of Balloffett and EDAW. Ms. Mika stated numerous citizens and technical advisory groups have studied the concerns of the Mixed Development Standards. Shani Eastin explained that the MUD area was recognized in 1987, in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as a future urban development corridor within Weld County. The MUD area covers approximately 12,110 acres. Ms. Eastin explained that with the presence of an interstate and state highway system and the external growth pressures from the Longmont metropolitan area has added to the interest of this area for development and population growth. Development in this area may occur due to the result of the planned infrastructure and services existing. Ms. Eastin referenced that the existing service providers varied from domestic water, gas and electric providers, a sanitation, school and fire district, ambulance service, law enforcement and highway and road departments. Ms. Eastin referenced Section 1.2 of the MUD Plan that reviews the Community Form and Structure and Section 1.3 that reviews the Public Facilities and Services. Ann Garrison asked if there were any State Growth Policies that would effect this area that the county would have to coordinate with. Ms. Mika explained that there were not any policies established at this time. The State Growth Policies would reference that this is in a RTD district and that there is CDOT activities being performed in this area that could have some potential influence on landuse. Community efforts with the Inter Governmental agreement's of Frederick, Firestone and Dacono could also effect with the development in this area. Ms. Garrison asked if there was anything in this plan for the provision of cost effective delivery or is the county assuming that the growth in this area will pay for itself. Ms. Eastin explained that the county is assuming that the growth in this area will pay for itself. Fred Walker had concerns if there were any salvage yards in this area. Ms. Eastin explained that there were a few existing salvage yards in this area. Glenn Vaad had concerns with the verbiage used in referencing the numbering of the MUD maps in this plan. Ms. Eastin explained that corrections for the numbering of this maps on page one and page twelve would be addressed. Chris Goranson gave an overview of the Structural Land Use Components. Mr. Goranson explained that this portion reflects the specific designations of the MUD map. These designations include Employment Centers, Regional Commercial, Neighborhood Centers, and Residential Neighborhoods. Mr. Goranson explained that each of these designations are delineated on the map 2.1 by a color and gave the type of intensity uses for each area. Mr. Goranson gave an overview of the Limited Sight Factors and the physical elements that could effect this area. Mr. Goranson stated that the 100 -year floodplain located in the MUD area consists of approximately 4,500 acres, or 38 percent of the total designated area. Mr. Goranson referenced the Planned Unit Development District in the Mixed Use Development area. Any current development in this area have to go through the Planned Unit Development process with the exceptions of Sand and Gravel Mining Operations, Home Businesses and Agricultural Services Establishments referenced in the plan. Mr. Goranson stated that there are applications that property owners can apply for that are exempt from utilizing the Planned Unit Development process in the SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 3 agricultural zone district within the MUD area. Some of these applications were Recorded Exemptions, Subdivision Exemptions and Zoning Permits for Mobile Homes. Mr. Wad voiced concerns with the land designations for schools and parks only occurring twice on the map. Ms. Mika explained that this information was sent to Saint Vrain Valley School District and they were asked for their input on potential locations for school sites in this area. The areas designated on the maps were areas the school district were comfortable with. Kerri Keithley presented a brief summary of the Common Open Space and Maximum Lot Coverage that will aid in controlling the density of development in the Mixed Use Development (MUD) area. Ms. Keithley referenced that the Common Open Space area consists of any useable parcel of land or water set aside for public or private enjoyment. Common Open Space in developments in the MUD area with the exception of those containing Limiting Site Factors will equal to 25% of the site. Commercial and Industrial sites may use Common Open Space within landscape setbacks from road right-of-ways, as long as this area is not utilized as parking or storage. Ms. Keithley explained that the Maximum Lot Coverage was a similar concept which refers to the percentage of a lot in a development which can be covered by a structure. Any areas that are landscaped with grass, shrubs, plants, decorative gravel or wood chips are not considered covered by a structure. Ms. Keithley explained that generally these are the same requirements currently listed in the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended. Ms. Keithley explained that one of the major changes proposed in the MUD plan is the landscaping requirements. Evaluations were conducted by planning staff in the MUD area to form the criteria for the landscaping requirements. Ms. Keithley referenced Section 2.6, Section 2.6.3.5, Section 2.6.4 and Section 2.6.4.2.e of the Structural Plan concerning landscaping requirements. Ms. Garrison asked if the planning staff felt there would be conflicts between the tables for the Common Open Space and the Maximum Lot Coverage. Ms. Keithley explained that there should not be conflicts between the two. The Common Open Space area looks at the total site in which a land owner would designate a portion of the site to be used for common open space area. The Maximum Lot Coverage focuses on the lots and that only a certain percentage could be covered as open space area. Marie Koolstra asked if they had an advisor used when developing the landscaping regulations. Ms. Keithley explained that they spoke with other communities and looked at some of the criteria they used. Due to the urban type nature the MUD area, they have received information from the City of Berthoud and other cities around this area. Some of the criteria for the landscaping regulations were incorporated from other cities, however a major portion of the landscaping regulations criteria came from the Department of Planning Services. Ms. Koolstra asked if there was consultation between law enforcement and the planning staff with the landscaping regulations in parking lots. Ms. Keithley explained that the proposal for landscaping in parking lots is to be well maintained. Ms. Mika explained that the original Mixed Use Development Plan went through the Technical Advisory Committee and Sheriff Jordan or a representative did attend these meetings. This proposal today was not specifically reviewed, but the Sheriffs Department did review the proposal which had more urban standards. Ms. Mika explained that the Sheriffs Department is are aware of the increase in landscaping standards. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 4 Ms. Garrison had concerns with urban landscaping and asked if water concerns have been addressed. Ms. Keithley explained they will promote the maximum use of the water by giving landowners resource material and also have zeroscaping books available for their use. Ms. Koolstra asked that with the twenty five percent of open area designated as common open space area, will the land owners be responsible for maintaining this area. Ms. Keithley explained that the homeowners associations or other associations would be responsible for the maintenance. The Department of Planning Services has consulted with developers on these criterias and the developers did not have concerns with the twenty five percent. Mr. Vaad asked what is to be achieved with open space areas. Ms. Keithley explained that they are proposing to utilize common open space for enjoyment, such as trails or parks that people can use. Drew Scheltinga gave an overview of the Transportation elements in the MUD area with the exception to the 1-25 road system. The transportation plans were developed through different landuses in this area. Based on these landuses; residential, business and commercial the Public Works Department estimated what amounts of traffic would be generated and which direction the traffic would go from the MUD area. Mr. Scheltinga referenced the four lane arterials delineated in red and blue on the map. Mr. Scheltinga explained that through studies they can accurately predict a six lane major arterial in this area which will be State Highway 119. In the MUD area other considerations for transportation are being reviewed. Some of these considerations were for pedestrians, bicycles and transit. Mr. Scheltinga explained that Ordinance 180 would address issues that developers will have to comply with. Mr. Scheltinga explained that accessing in this area will be addressed through the State Highway Access Code, Shirley Camenisch had concerns on the time frames that were predicted for the four lane roads. Mr. Scheltinga explained that he could not give a definite time frame and this would depend on development in this area. Arlan Marrs had concerns on the berms for the road system and if this will create problems with snow. Mr. Scheltinga explained that most of the berms would not be that high, but there still could be some problems. Ms. Mika explained that these issues could ad dressed d essed through the placement st ructures of s ctures and road rights -of -way. Ms. Mika presented a brief summary of the sign regulations and utility provisions in the MUD area found in Sections 2.8 through 2.9.5 of this proposed plan. Ms. Mika compared the new verbiage of the proposed signage regulations with current regulations from the Weld County Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Mika further outlined Section 3, Inventory of Existing Uses, of the MUD Plan. Ms. Mika specifically addressed school services in Section 3.2.2.1. Ms. Mika explained the calculations for residential dwellings received from the Weld County Building Department consisted of four residential dwelling units in 1995, and 120 residential dwelling units in 1996. Ms. Mika stated that the total build -out of the MUD area is considered to be 120 dwelling units per year. The Chairman asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak for or against this application. Tamela McMahan, representative for Kaire International, explained that their corporation is currently located in Longmont. Ms. McMahan introduced Jerry Miller, architect with Kaire International, on their proposed project. Ms. McMahan explained they are requesting for a landuse change within this area. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 5 This area is currently zoned residential and they are requesting this area be changed to light industrial. Ms. McMahan presented a packet to the Planning Commission on this corporation and a site plan concept. Mr. Marrs questioned why this proposal was not being addressed through normal hearing procedures. Ms. Mika explained that this was a recent proposal. Ms. Mika stated that her recommendation for the Planning Commission was to accept this request and forward the document to the Board of County Commissioners while remanding back this request to the Department of Planning Services. Ms. Mika explained that this will ensure that amendment standards A through C have been met in the current Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Mika requested that the Planning Commission return the application for four to six weeks for the Planning staff to review. Mr. Marrs asked the applicant if they were in agreement with the request given by the Department of Planning Services. Ms. McMahan stated they were in agreement. Mr. Marrs asked if the areas delineated on the maps could be changed to different classifications. Ms. Mika explained that the land owners would have to petition to change the classifications. These changes could be done twice a year through the Comprehensive Plan amendment procedure. A map change could also take place when there is an Ordinance consideration. Ms. Koolstra asked what the benefits would be in accepting this application if the map was approved as delineated in the plan. Ms. Mika explained that this would benefit the citizens in the area by notifying them of this impending change. Ms. Camenisch asked if the application presented was between two subdivisions that had been previously approved. Ms. Mika explained that this was correct and there is quite a bit of residential development in the area. Ms. Mika explained that as this applicant goes through the landuse stage they will have establish compatibility as stated in the Comprehensive Plan when utilizing the PUD Ordinance. Mr. William Billingsly, surrounding property owner, explained that he has small salvage operation, store mobile homes and collectible vehicles and had concerns on how this plan will effect him. Mr. Billingsly stated he purchased this property with the proper zoning for the salvage yard. Ms. Camenisch asked if the property was screened. Mr. Billingsly stated that the salvage yard is fenced on the back side and there is a private access off of Turner Boulevard. Mr. Walker asked if this business was in existence prior to the MUD Plan being started. Mr. Billingsly explained that he purchased this property in the early 1990's, but that this property has always been used in this manner. Mr. Morrison explained that if Mr. Billingsly had pre-existing site plans and is not doing an expansion he will probably not have to change screening that he has. Mr. Marrs asked if landowners in this MUD area with a legal current use would have to adhere to the regulations in this proposed MUD plan. Mr. Morrison explained that if this property is not a nuisance, is a legal use and continues at the same level, then these proposed regulations would not impact an existing use. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 6 Rusty Tucker had concerns on expansion of existing roads and if current owners would have to pay for the expansion of this roads. Mr. Morrison stated that new developers would have to contribute their share and that these issues will have to be evaluated through the county to generate revenues of the unfunded shares. Jack Dillion, surrounding property owner, had concerns with the placement of the four lane highway in respect to his property on the map. Mr. Scheltinga explained that this map was a schematic drawing and that he was not sure exactly where the highway would be placed. Sharon Hopper, surrounding property owner, had concerns with the placement of the four lane highway and that this meeting is being held on an election day. Ms. Hopper asked that the Planning Commission to consider continuing this plan to a later date. Wes Johnson, surrounding property owner, explained that he lives on Weld County Road 7 and had concerns with the expansion of this road. Mr. Johnson felt that the MUD Plan has not been available to him or surrounding property owners in this area. Ms. Mika explained that notification of this hearing were sent to 350 property owners in the St. Vrain Sanitation District Ms. Mika explained that letters were also sent to people who had expressed concerns through the Comprehensive Plan files and to the South West Weld Economic Development Agency. Ms. Mika referenced the reading dates of the proposed ordinance to the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Marrs asked if at the Board County Commissioners hearings changes and public comment will be accepted for this proposed ordinance. Ms. Mika stated that they will be accepted and encouraged to comment. Ms. Koolstra asked where meetings were conducted for citizen input on this plan. Ms. Mika explained that some of the meetings were held in this area and the Technical Advisory Committee met frequently in Mead due to the central location and in Greeley. Margaret Tolsen, surrounding property owner, explained that they purchased a property in this area approximately one month ago and had concerns with the development of the road system and how this would effect their property. Artie Elmquist, surrounding property owner, had concerns on proposed landuses in the plan staying this way twenty to thirty years from now. Ms. Mika stated the proposed map is in ordinance form and unless the property owner comes to petition for a change in the map it will stay. A revision in the Comprehensive Plan however, could potentially change the Structural landuse map 2.1. Ms. Koolstra explained that this proposal essentially could be changed twice a year through application review from the Weld County Planning Commission. Ms. Mika explained that this was correct. Kris Pickett, with Pickett Engineering, explained that this is a positive process to identify the intents and concepts of the development in this area. Mr. Pickett asked for clarification on criteria used to determine the quality of life with current residences in this area. Ms. Mika explained that the Planning staff reviewed notes from the public meetings that were held and from citizen input and used this information to arrive at the criteria to address what people wanted in their community. Mr. Pickett asked what the purpose was in restricting the development to a campus type atmosphere that was addressed in the MUD Goals section. Ms. Mika explained that the Planning Commission approved SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 7 the concept in the existing Comprehensive Plan. The intent for this was to integrate open space with a usable and liveable community. This will also create an environment that is attractive and functional. Mr. Pickett had concerns with the amount open space required in this area. Ms. Mika gave an overview of of how the open space area was designated to give a sense of community in this area. Ms. Keithley gave an example of the McStain Development located in the MUD area that consists of approximately twenty-two percent of common open space area. It is in the opinion with staff that the twenty-five percent common open space was not that high of a percentage for this area. Ms. Keithley explained that mapping for this plan was done by the FEMA maps. The FEMA maps were used to delineate this area with regards to the 100 year floodplain and also included in this process were considerations of irrigation ditches, sites with topographical constraints and wetlands. Discussion followed between Planning Commission members and Planning staff on the advantages and disadvantages on the proposed amounts for the common open space in this area. Doug Rank, surrounding property owner, had concerns with notification and asked which newspaper this notification was printed in. Ms. Mika stated notification was printed in the official county newspaper which was the North Weld Herald. The official county newspaper recently changed to the South Weld Sun newspaper. Mr. Rank felt that notifications should be sent to several papers. Mr. Rank had concerns with who the citizens were that were asked for there opinion in the MUD area. Ms. Mika explained through the Comprehensive Plan revision that over thirty meetings were held and then that precipitated a Technical Advisory Committee. For all of these meetings press releases were done and letters were sent to citizens who expressed concerns. Mr. Rank asked that this application be continued due to the fact that more people in this area need to know what is happening area. Ms. Keithley explained that this proposal will not change zoning classification for a property owner. If a property owner would like a change in their landuse classification they would have to petition to amend this plan. Virginia Haggerty, surrounding property owner, felt this meeting should be continued and notification should be placed in the Longmont Times. Mrs. Haggerty also expressed concerns with the expansion of the highway located by her property. Ms. Koolstra asked if the road system was not developed until a developer purchased a property would they wait until there was enough developers in this area to finance the road system or would the need for the road system take precedents. Mr. Scheltinga explained that the road construction would serve the developments as they occur. A developer would have to show an impact or mitigation on how they will access to their development. Mr. Vaad asked if the expansion of these two four lane highways will be due to the increased volume that is generated. Mr. Scheltinga explained that this correct. If this proposed site were to build out as projected the MUD area would be roughly the same population of Loveland. Mr. Scheltinga explained that there were numerous four lane highways in the City of Loveland. Ms. Mika explained that this document is intended to provide the frame work to address infrastructure needs and the social and community needs of the area. Ms. Mika stated that some of these projections presented are fifty year projections. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 8 Cheryl Koenig, surrounding property owner, had concerns with an industrial gravel pit located twenty-five acres behind their property which is considered residential. Ms. Mika explained that this area petitioned for inclusion into the Comprehensive Plan in November 1995. After the mining activities have occurred which happened through a USR process that they would reclaim this site for residential. This case was effective May 8, 1995, and petitioned again in 147d.,e., and f and was approved for residential at the property owners request. Prior to that time this area was not included in the MUD area. Ms. Koenig asked if Boulder County was aware of the road conditions on Weld County Road One. Ms. Mika stated that Boulder County and the City of Longmont were addressing the potential future impacts on their roads. Robert Nash, surrounding property owner, asked there had been a county development of this type before. Mr. Morrison explained that probably not in Weld County, but has occurred in other front range counties. Mr. Nash addressed concerns on zoning of a property and the marketability of sites smaller than twenty acres in size. Discussion followed between Planning Commission members and Mr. Morrison on these issues. Mr. Pickett addressed continual concerns to the open space area and the percentage proposed for this area. Mr. Pickett explained that this proposal be delayed due to the fact that this document gives specific criteria and felt that the only issue that has been addressed is open space. Ms. Keithley referenced the dates for public hearings on the MUD Plan are: December 2, 1996 at 9:00 a.m.; January 6, 1997 at 9:00 a.m. and January 29, 1997 at 9:00 a.m. at this hearing room (101). Ms. Mika requested that this document be approved as written with modifications proposed by Planning staff in conjunction remand the Kaire application back to Planning staff for consideration for the next six weeks. Mr. Walker asked about verbiage on page 4, Section 2.9 the words "shall have" as to "shall be encouraged" referenced in other portions of this proposal. Mr. Morrison stated to make this consistent with the rest of the documentation that he was in agreement with the first line should reflect the verbiage change. Ms. Mika stated this verbiage would be changed to be written as "shall be encouraged". After discussion between Planning Commission members and Planning staff on the percentage for open space area. Fred Walker motioned that the percent for common open space required be changed to twenty percent on the classifications where it located within the MUD proposal as twenty five percent. Ann Garrison seconded the motion. The Chairman asked the secretary to poll the members of the Planning Commission for their decision. Glenn Vaad-yes; Cristie Nicklas-yes; Fred Walker -yes; Marie Koolstra-yes; Ann Garrison -yes; Shirley Camenisch-Abstained; Arlan Marrs -yes. Motion carried. Mr. Morrison explained to Ms. Camenisch that this is a legislative function and not a quasi-judicial function where your dealing with individual properties. Mr. Morrison stated he could not compel Ms. Camenisch to participate, but is something to consider since this is effecting a broad area. SUMMARY OF THE WELD COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING November 5, 1996 Page 9 Mr. Vaad asked if an estimation could be given on how many people attended the thirty plus meetings. Ms. Mika explained this had been a two year process and that the initial meetings had hundreds of people attending. Ms. Mika stated that these meetings were highly attended and publicized. Cristie Nicklas motioned the Planning Commission return Kaire International application back to Planning Staff to address this is application process as necessary. Glenn Vaad seconded. Mr. Tucker had concerns on how long the would prolong the application for Kaire International. Ms. Mika explained that this application will be set up and will present this application back to the Planning Commission in approximately four to six weeks depending a referral responses.

CASE NUMBER: Ordinance #191 PLANNER: Department of Planning Services' Staff REQUEST: Adoption of the Mixed Use Development Structural Plan BEFORE THE WELD COUNTY, COLORADO PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Moved by Ann Garrison that the following resolution, with changes to Section 1 - 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2.1; Section 2 - 2.6.3, 2.8.4, 2.9.2, 2.9.4, 2.9.5 and Table 2.2; Section 3 - 3.1 be introduced for passage by the Weld County Planning Commission. Be it resolved by the Weld County Planning Commission the proposed amendments to Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the Mixed Use Development Structural Plan be approved. CASE NUMBER: Ordinance #191 PLANNER: Department of Planning Services' Staff REQUEST: Adoption of the Mixed Use Development Structural Plan GOD'S PURPOSE, OUR VISION Rinn United Methodist Church December 11, 1996 Weld County Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80632 Subject: Ordinance #191 -Mixed Use Development Plan (MUD) Dear Commissioners: Enclosed you will find a picture of our church that appeared in USA Today in October. You will note that our church surroundings at this point are primarily agricultural. We are located at 3783 Weld County Road 20, less than 1/4 mile west of I-25. Rinn Church has served the Rinn, Del Camino, Tri-Town and St. Vrain areas for nearly 100 years, contributing to the educational, moral, spiritual, benevolent and economic foundations of the community. Many of our members have served and continue to serve in significant community and regional positions. We also are serving the Hispanic community through making available our facilities to and cooperating with the Good Shepherd Church. In response to the population growth in this area, we have spent the last three years enlarging our sanctuary. This has been accomplished primarily through volunteer labor, much of it from the wider area. The Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church, our adjudicatory body, has made significant investments in the staffing and construction of the church over the past ten years. We are deeply concerned about the adverse impact that the proposed MUD plan for The Del Camino area will have on both us and this region. We would support zoning which allows the immediately surrounding area to be developed as housing, which is a complementary and appropriate use. However, the proposed MUD would literally surround our church property with the industrial structures of the high intensity "employment center." This situation can only have a devastating impact on our setting, its perception by area residents, the church's well-being and thus our ability to function effectively. The proposed MUD also would create other serious problems on all sides in the use of our property. Our church and parking lot are fronted by Weld County Road 20. The proposed plan would make that road part of the employment center traffic circulation. The current I-25 west frontage road is several hundred feet east of our property. Its extension from Del Camino alone will add to traffic and noise. Adding even further to the problems of noise, access and safety is the proposed I-25 exit at 3783 Weld County Road 20 • Longmont, Colorado 80504 • (303) 776-1578 Pt; CHI` •63CCC- Road 20. At the very least, it will abut the eastern side of our property and create serious noise and traffic problems for church activities, especially worship. Almost unbelieveably, our situation will be worse yet if the west frontage road is moved 1/3 mile west --that would create at least a two-lane road on the immediate west of our property, thus virtually surrounding us on three sides with heavy commercial and industrial traffic and noise. Traffic will be further increased by making Road 7 four lanes. We appreciate your efforts to involve citizens in the planning process, and we applaud county efforts to provide guidelines and standards for the sensible shaping of this rapidly growing area. Surely this includes consideration of the contribution that churches can and do make to the moral and spiritual fiber of a community. We urge you and the Planning Commission to consider how the plan might be improved to minimize adverse impact on the Rinn Church and to allow it to continue being a positive force in this area of the county. We request that this letter be made a permanent record in your files for the proposed MUD (Ordinance #191 Mixed Use Development Plan) and future development considerations. Thank you for your consideration. Our thoughts and prayers are with you this Holiday Season, and in the years ahead on your decisions for this area.

Dillon n m co 0 S E VIGILANCE • RESPONSIBILITY • FREEDOM THE AMERICAN'S BULLETIN • January 1997 - 5 RESTORING CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT IN COLORADO We, at the assembly of People its Colorado, and spokesman Dr. Eugene -Schroder and Senator Charlie Duke met with the Legislative Executive Council on Tuesday, September 3, 1996. Although there are only. 6 members of the Legislative Executive Council, they could not even field a quorum. Only 3 members attended, therefore, the Legislative Executive Council conveniently could not vote on the formation of the Interim Committee which We the People require be formed to officially end the de facto war emergency government in Colorado and to restore our Constitutional government. Background: In August 1995, over 150 people representing 23 counties gathered at Canon City, Colorado forming the First Assembly of Colorado People's Common law Grand Jury to hear facts and evidence presented by Dr. Eugene Schroder on the War Emergency Act of 1933. Dr. Schroder proved with that Act and other actions that Franklin Delano Roosevelt had named the people of America as 'enemies,' declaring war on We the People of America. This explains why FDR let our young men be bombed in Pearl Harbor when he knew the Japanese were advancing. At the same time, FDR's un- American administration furthered the process of continued destruction of America by burdening the people with endless, unconstitutional 'war departments' such as the Department by Janet Lee: Meisinger commomlawcopyright— bypermission of Motor Vehicles; the Department of Social Services; the Social Security Administration; the Department of Education; and on and on ad naseum. These 'departments' were instituted to re -venue our de jure republican form of sovereign state governments to -an un-American feudal government which - began collecting endless forms of taxes or revenue contributing to 'strong and progressive taxing systems' for un- American interests. The numerous un-American evils which were foisted upon honest and unsuspecting Americans is epitomized by the non -disclosure fraud of social security which makes all Americans card carrying socialists before we are old enough to even lawfully contract. Worst of all, it is not a 'security' at all; it is just one of the strong and progressive taxing systems put in place by communist bureaucrats in America to break the will of the people. World communists did state they would defeat us without firing a shot. In November 1995, the Assembly of People in Colorado served each legislator with: 1. a packet of over 70 pages of documents containing facts and evidence presented to the People's Grand Jury. 2. A Constitutional Common Law Show Cause Demand. We the People demanded each legislator review the evidence and lawfully show cause within 30 days why they were continuing the war emergency government 63 years later when there is no emergency. There was no response from Colorado Legislators. In February 1996, a large number of We the People met with a handful of Key Senators. Once again Dr. Eugene Schroder gave his testimony proving that FDR and the federal government had declared war on We the American people in 1933. After giving his testimony, Schroder asked the legislators present why they had not responded to our lawful show cause demand. They explained the legislative Legal Services Committee„ all private club bar association members by the way, had advised the legislators they did not have to pay any attention to We the People's lawful demands because the common law is no longer recognized in Colorado. I referred the Senators to CRS 13-106 which states that all courts of this state must take judicial notice of the common law. I also pointed out the Secretary of State and County Recorders are all committing non -disclosure fraud against the people in Colorado when these public servants ask the people to sign a stipulation they are U.S. citizens in order to vote without explaining to the people ttcd they waive their state sovereign rights by signing they are U.S. citizens. I explained I had written both the Secretary of State and my County recorders over a year ago, warning them under USC Title 18, Scz. 241 to 245 that they are committing fraud_. and asking them to reveal to me in writing within 20. days how I could lawfully select those I want to be in office without waiving my state sovereign rights. I have received no answer. The legislators agreed that We the People must be heard and suggested a joint meeting of the House and Senate state Affairs Committees to hear our testimony. On March26, 1996 Dr., Eugene Schroder gave a presentation to the Senate State Affairs Committee members. We the People filled the old judicial chambers in the Colorado State Capitol with standing room only. After hearing the testimony, senator Mary Anne Tebedo of Colorado Springs asked why We the People had asked for a show cause why they are continuing the war emergency? Why didn't we instead say, "We demand you discontinue the war emergency!" It was the combined opinion of the Senate State affairs Committee and We the People that an Interim Committee must beformed to resolve the escalating problems.

The Legislative Legal Services began stall tactics by alleging the war emergency had been ended. In the following weeks, Dr. Schroder and his committee of We the People continued -to research the state archives, producing additional facts -and evidence proving the war government still exists. On September 3, 1996 Dr. Eugene Schroder, Senator Charlie Duke and many of We the People once again journeyed to the capitol to officially establish our Interim Committee. rebutting the argument by the Legal Services Department that the war emergency government had been ended, Schroder and Duke presented several documents which traced one government war department, the department of Social services, to it's inception under the war emergency government. Dr. Schroder stated that as long as these war departments are in place, the war emergency government is in place. -That these numerous, unconstitutional war departments are the root cause of the horrendous debt being placed upon We the People and our children. After several demands being made by Senator Duke and Dr. Schroder to officially install the needed committee, Senator Michael Feeley, a lawyer from Lakewood insisted that We the People could bring our issues forward next legislative session in the form of a bill and therefore needed no interim committee. Senator Duke stated, "Fine, if this tremendous problem does not warrant an interim committee, then let's just cancel all interim committees. There really is no need for any of them, is there? Everyone can just bring bills in to get problems resolved!" We the People in Colorado have over and over experienced that when we bring bills into the legislature, our bills are blocked and shelved by key people in certain committees and are not brought forth for vote. We the People also realize that it is through the formation of so ..alled 'interim committees' coupled with the private dab bar association's perversion of our laws with unenacted, therefor unlawful 'revised statutes,' that the un- American interest groups are methodically reconstructing our courts and government to better serve themselves and the new world 'odor'bankers. This misconstruction of government and usurpation of powers is precisely what our forefathers wrote the Bill of Rights to prevent; however, it is going to take the will and actions of We the People to end these treasonous government agencies and activities. When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

As I've mentioned to you before, I think the plan is drawn up very elaborate, and with much detail, but it is missing one essential ingredient, -- that of protecting what agriculture remains in this end of the county. Is a project this big really needed? With plans to develop an un-incorporated area roughly the size of Loveland, and have no local government, no police department, and no local shopping area, is of great concern. But adding to the fact that it adjoins Longmont on the West, and Frederick and Firestone on the East, is of greater concern in that it leaves no agriculture or open space to keep those municipalities free-standing. (Is this going to be the dumping ground for the county? Are they going to put here what's not wanted in Greeley? (Ex: more trailer courts, undesirable industries, etc. just to derive extra income for the county?) True, we are not as productive agriculturally as the area around Greeley, and it is true that the local farmer & rancher can see more dollars from development than staying in business, but is this what we really want for our grandchildren 50 years from now? The time has come for the county to not only think of the developmental dollar, but to look at preserving and protecting some of the rich heritage that we've been given. Other options MUST be looked at. While I don't agree entirely what's been done, look at Boulder County for example, and the land that they've acquired to keep in agriculture or open space. Consider advising and working with the fanner & rancher to do conservation easements and/or purchasing of developmental rights so they won't be tempted to sell to that developer. True, growth is coming and needs to be planned for. Just OK'ing zoning changes is NOT the answer. True growth should come from the inside out (not hop -scotch here and there with flagpole annexations or developments). County Commissioners need to work with local municipalities as well. Governor Romer expressed his concern at a meeting in Vail last month (see attached article). As quoted from him, "I cannot believe that you all want to become one city," (referring to the growth that could tie together cities in Northern Colorado), "but I don't see how you are going to stop it." If this passes, it WILL be a developer's delight. They will come from everywhere to put whatever/wherever. Who will pay for it all? How much of a tax increase can we expect? You're imposing this MUD concept on an area that has not really been informed of the implications or impact of such a project. (You say it's been in the works ten years or so, but in asking this question to a neighborhood group this past month, v little -- if any were aware of the impact). Others are worn-out from the fighting of th prison issue tooth mentally and financially). Do we really want to go through this again? You've caught us at a good time. It will be easy for you to pass this issue without letting us have the time or opportunity to really prepare ourselves for the next hurdle. Again, we have a rich heritage that needs to be preserved and protected for future generations. We need officials that will understand that direction as well, and vote accordingly. I trust that you will not take from us what we have so long been accustomed.

PLAN- Ordinance No. 191 Dear Drew: As per your request at the public meeting of January 16th at the Rinn Community Church, I am writing to bring to the attention of your department , the Department of Planning Services and the Board of County Commissioners, that the wording and drawing in the plan in regard to Turner Boulevard are not correct. It was agreed from the start with the County and the consulting Company that Turner Boulevard, as it is to day, is a large impediment to any further development of the Del Camino area and any land to the South. In its present condition of an abrupt end of a road with heavy usage by tractor trailer traffic with inadequate signs and turn around facility is detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. The plan for Turner Boulevard is to extend it to the South and connecting it to any development of the frontage road or and future proposed roads coming from any future developments to the south of the present limit of the frontage road or the southern extension of Turner Boulevard terminating in a turn around cul de sac. The wording on page 89 of the MUD Plan should clearly and specifically describe the above description as the decision of the County in regard to Turner Boulevard on any future development under the Plan. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the MUD before the final Reading. erely, G Simone Psident cc: Monica Daniels -Mika, AICP F�-eANei4E1.8 y • • (303) 526-0328 3783 Weld County Road 20 Longmont, CO 80504 January 29, 1997 Weld County Commissioners Greeley, Colorado Dear Commissioners: The discussion of the MUD Plan, especially by the residents of southwest Weld County, has focused on two very important principles. We are deeply concerned with the quality of life we have, and the sense of being about to lose it which many of us have. We've seen what happens when development occurs overnight with no thought given as to how it occurs. At the same time, many of us are concerned with protection of individual property rights, which is an important source and sustainer of American freedom. In our response to the MUD Plan, those two principles have been brought into tension, even conflict. It is precisely the use of unresetricted, majority property rights that is creating the negative impact on quality of life. We no longer live in an area where we're all spread out and thus what one person may do has little impact on others. In a region growing this rapidly, if we are to maintain the quality of life that in the past our individual property ownership has been adequate to protect, then I would maintain that genuine comprehensive, enforceable planning has to take place that balances the two principles and thus maintains freedom and quality of life for everyone. Unfortunately this MUD Plan is not part of a true comprehensive plan. At its best, it alleviates in small part the impact of unrestricted development; at its worst, it is a developer's wish list. We are talking about this area growing into a place the size of Loveland, yet there is no area plan that integrates and tries to shape things critical to a city that size. There is no provision for adequate housing for even upscale income groups, let along a range of housing for the average person. There is no provision for schools which are already overloaded. There is no overall plan for usable open space much beyond calling space for existing ditches "open space." I applaud the efforts of our county planners to work with what they have. However, we need to move beyond that. If we want to provide quality living for all of us, we need for both our county and state officials to have the foresight and courage to work for genuine area and regional planning that integrates all of the factors of community life and living --that fully considers those things which affect home and church and sense of community as well as economics, and which is not changeable on the whim of a few individuals with little stake in the community. Thank you for you consideration. I request that this letter be made a part of the permanent record for the MUD Plan. Sincerely, Warren S. Napier Resident of MUD Plan area 204 Oak. P.O.

Z2, 1997 Plan's opponents want to fling By Michael Neilson Editor Weld County officials probablywish probably wish the term "mixed use develop- ment" wouldn't get referred to as MUD, but unfortunately it does, and q' that seems to bejust what a number of south county residents think of the ti Planned no area. The evelment around MUD area covers juste over 12,Del 000 acres with boundaries at Weld County Road 1 on the west, Road 11 on the east, State Highway 66 on the north, and Road 20 on thesouth. Weld County's MUD plan has been evolving since 1985. Last Thursday (Jan, 16), Weld CountyDirector of Planning Ser- vices Monica Daniels -Mika and County Engineer Drew Scheltinga met again with property owners from in and near the MUD planning area. These residents oppose the MUD plan and wish for the area to remain rural and agricultural. Although there are property owners in the area who desire to develop their land according to the MUD plan, those proponents have not been as visible or as vocal as the opponents. County officials hoped to use last week's meeting at Rinn Church as an opportunity to get specific input from landowners in the area. The local residents were asked to examine anaerial map, indicate the property they own, and explain how —if at all —they might want to see it developed. However, more than half the meeting time was spent with restate - mews of objections to the MUD plan in general. After more than an hour of complaints about the plan, Scheltinga See 'MUD meetin * Page 3 Weld County resident Sharon Hopper (center) discusses 'the MUD plan with county planner Kernl Keithley (left).

What was informally known as Supt. Driver to retire at end of school year Roger Driver See 'Tri-Town IGA,' Page 3 St. Vr EXHIBIT >>vd IQ( t The St. Vrain Valley School Board has announced that Superintendent of the Year for the State of Colorado, Roger Driver, will retire at the end of this school year, June 30, 1997. Kathy Hall, president of the St. Vrain Valley Board of Education, stated, "Roger Driver has dedicated 33 years of service to education. We have been lucky to have had him in our community providing us with stability and strong leadership. Roger has fulfilled the commitment he made to us when we asked him to be Superintendent." Hall went on to say, "Roger is going out on top. He has been selected Superintendent of the Year for the State of Colorado because of his proven record to lead our school district." "I had planned on retiring in June of 1995," said Superintendent Driver, "but I put that decision off because I was asked to bring leadership to the St. Vrain Valley School District and serve as superintendent. I am now getting back on track with my original retirement schedule." Driver went on to say, "I am looking forward to being an active retired citizen in the community, starting with volunteering a considerable amount of my time to see that we pass the school bond election in November of this year. We must continue to provide the proper learning environment for our youth and pass this bond election to ease the current overcrowding situation." Roger Driver will be honored January 22 for his selection as the 1997 Colorado Superintendent of the Year. The reception will take place at Westview Middle School, 1651 Airport Road, Longmont, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. "MUD meeting," from Page 1 observed, "From what 1 gather, l don't think anybody wants anything to de- velop here." His comment drew hearty ap- plause. Several property owners have working farms in the MUD areas that are coded as high -intensity "employ- ment centers," which could include some degree of industrial develop- ment. County officials said these county residents could continue to farm their land until they sold it and the new owner decided to develop it. Property owners were also told they could petition the county for any spe- cific type of development. It was also noted that some prop- erty in the MUD area is owned by people who do not live in the area. Some of those attending the Thursday MUD meeting had also at- tended the meeting the night before in Dacono where county and Tri-Town officials discussed a proposed intergovernmental agreement. (See related IGA story.) It was noted again that portions of the Frederick and Firestone planning areas overlap with the MUD area. Some rural residents indicated they might have better luck working with those local municipalities in de- termining if and how their property might be developed. Daniels -Mika suggested the county would adopt the MUD devel- opment standards until a "better set of standards" might be proposed in ar- eas overlapping with municipal juris- dictions. In the IGA meeting the night before, George Baxter, chairman of the Weld County Commissioners, said the "standards need to be raised" in the MUD area. The MUD plan also proposes the addition of some four -lane arte- rial roads in places where roads do not currently exist. There were objec- tions to that, but Scheltinga told the audience that the new roads would be required to handle the traffic that the proposed MUD plan would generate. "Tri-Town IGA," from Page 1 "The Mayors' IGA Group" met monthly for more than a year, then heightened the pitch of their efforts with twice -a -month meetings in the latter part of 1996. City of Dacono mayor Linda Stepien, Town of Firestone mayor Rick Patterson, and Town of Frederick mayor Ed Tagliente spoke on behalf of their respective municipal governing bod- ies, and relayed proposals and re- sponses between those governing bodies and the "Mayors' IGA Group."

Don Sandoval of the Colorado Depart- ment of Local Affairs served as coor- dinator. Only rarely did local citizens or other Tri-Town elected officials at- tend the meetings. Last week's gathering included the principal players, and also at- tracted other county commissioners, other local elected officials, and about a dozen concerned citizens, both municipal residents and residents "out in the county" from nearby unincorporated areas. The proposed "Interim Coordi- nated Planning Agreement" is a rela- tively short document of about a dozen pages. After it is approved and signed by the four parties -- and that positive action is expected — the parties will continue to meet to hammer out a a ..G m5e scr IromLL 4I3U eellacn r„c much more detailed and lengt that will specify developme dards to be followed by all f ties with any residential or c cial development that is plat their respective areas.

In general, the interim agree- ment calls for the parties to "plan for and regulate the development and use of land withintheirrespectivejurisdic- tions." The agreement defines vari- ous types of development and speci- fies the boundaries that delineate the different "jurisdictions" of the mu- nicipalities and the county.

One tenant earned $58,000 a year and paid no rent.

It was also noted in two meet- ings last week— the IGA meeting on Wednesday and the MUD meeting on Thursday — that the proposed Urban Growth Boundaries of both Firestone and Frederick overlap with Weld County's proposed Mixed Use Development (MUD) area that cen- ters on and spreads out from Del Camino at the intersection of 1-25 and Highway 119 (WCR 24). The proposed interim agreement also calls for referrals among the par- ties when one or the other is consider- ing development within the concemed area. The agreement also specifies the types of development that may take place within the various lines of jurisdiction. The agreement also notes the existence of people and property not within but adjacent to areas that may be developed by some of the parties to agreement. Section 4.4 of the in- terim agreement, headed "Mutuality of Impact Consideration," states the following: "The parties recognize that deci- sions by one party regarding develop- ment may impact property outside of each particular jurisdiction. The par- ties 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." During last week's IGA meet- ing, assistant Weld County attorney Lee Morrison said areas within the Urban Growth Boundaries would expect to see "higher density than you'd expect in a rural area."

The following packet is the changes (additions and deletions) to the Mixed Use Development Structural Plan that were made during the Planning Commission hearing on November 5, 1996. These changes include the following: 1. Additions to the MUD Structural Plan are shown on pages 1,3, 4, 18, 23, 25, and 41-45 in the grey blocked sections. 2. Deletions to the MUD Structural Plan are shown on pages 1, 3, 18, 42, and 43 as a "strike- out" of the word(s). The Department of Planning Services' staff recommends that these changes made at the Planning Commission hearing be incorporated in the Mixed Use Development Structural Plari. The Department of Planning Services also recommends that in Section 2.3 Common Open Space Regulations, Table 2.2 Common Open Space for Land Use Categories (on page 18) be reverted to the original percentages as recommended by planning staff and listed below. ce for Land Use Categories Land Use Designation Percent of Common Open Space Required Employment Center -High Intensity 25% Regional Commercial -Medium Intensity 25% Neighborhood Center -Low Intensity 25% Residential - Mixed Intensity 25% Limiting Site Factors - Lowest Intensity 30% Section 1 The Mixed Use Development Area 1.1 Intent The Mixed Use Development area (MUD area) provides a unique and challenging opportunity for the establishment of an on -going planning process in an area which is experiencing increased growth and development. The presence of an interstate and state highway system and the external growth pressures from the Longmont Metropolitan Area have added to the interest in land development and population growth within this area. The intent of this policy document is to guide and implement planned land use changes in the MUD area, particularly the conversion of rural lands to more intensive urban -type land uses. The regulations found in this document are intended to be implemented by the land use and development policies in the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and Planned Unit Development Ordinance, as amended and adopted by the county. 1.1.2 Planning Area Boundaries The MUD area covers approximately 12,110 acres with boundaries at Weld County Road (WCR) 1 on the west, WCR 11 on the east, State Highway (SH) 66 on the north and WCR 20 on the south. The MUD planning area boundaries are shown on Map 2-0 !. 1.1.4 Existing Services The MUD area is intended to be an area which will accommodate development which may occur as a result of the planned infrastructure and services existing and developing in the area. Table 1.1 displays the existing service providers in the MUD area. viders in the Mixed Use Development Area Domestic Water Left Hand Water Supply Company, Little Thompson Valley Water District, Longs Peak Water Association, Central Weld County Water Association Sanitation St. Vrain Sanitation District Gas Public Service Company of Colorado Electric United Power School St. Vrain (RE -1J) Law Enforcement Weld County Sheriff's Department Fire Mountain View Fire Protection District Ambulance Tri-Town, Longmont Highway & Roads Colorado Department of Transportation, Weld County Public Works Mixed Use Development Plan 1 1.2 Community Form and Structure 1.2.1 Intent Today, the MUD area is at the center of the growing municipalities in the southwest region of the county. The commercial node located at I-25 and State Highway 119 continues to be an important activity center for much of the front range. Defining and shaping communities within the MUD area not only opens the door for more functional regional activity, but will improve the quality of life local residents and business owners. The following goals and policies are intended to result in enhanced community form and structure throughout the MUD area. 1.2.2 Goals and Policies MUD. CGoal 1 Establish a sense of community identity within the Mixed Use Development area by planning and managing residential, commercial, industrial, environmental, aesthetic and economic components of the area. MUD.CPolicy 1.1 The Mixed Use Development area shall be delineated on the Structural Land Use Map 2.1. MUD.CPolicy 1.2 Development within the Mixed Use Development area shall adhere to the MUD Structural Land Use Map 2.1 to direct future zoning and land use decisions. MUD.CGoal 2 New development shall occur in a manner that assures an attractive working and living environment. MUD.CPolicy 2.1 New development shall be encouraged to use innovative siting and design techniques to cultivate an attractive visual appearance within the MUD area and preserve prime visual features such as the Front Range and the St. Vrain River. MUD.CPolicy 2.2 Landscaping shall be designed to promote attractive development. Landscaping requirements shall be determined for the perimeter of the development by reviewing the density of the proposed land -use development. Landscaping shall be designed to protect and preserve the appearance and character of the surrounding area. Mixed Use Development Plan Page 3 MUD.CPolicy 2.3 Residential development shall be encouraged to occur in clustered neighborhood units with a variety of densities ranging from single family developments of less than one unit per acre to multi -family developments with much higher densities. MUD.CPolicy 2.4 Adequate pedestrian passageways between and within developments and neighborhoods shall be encouraged. MUD.CPolicy 2.5 Sign regulations shall be strictly enforced within the Mixed Use Development area as outlined and defined in the MUD Development Standards. Signs shall be compatible with the surrounding environment, have a low profile and be shared when possible. MUD.CPolicy 2.6 New development shall be characterized by quality architectural design. Design features shall include: landscaping plans for the entire development, efficient on -site traffic circulation plans with a minimal number of access points to state and county roads, low profile advertising signs, and sensitive facade treatment. MUD.CPolicy 2.7 New development shall be designed to compliment the natural environment and exhibit a "campus -like" atmosphere. MUD.CPolicy 2.8 Development shall be required to preserve a portion of the site as common open space as outlined and defined in the MUD Development Standards. MUD.CPolicy 2.9 Existing salvage yards and uses with open storage areas shall tt�® isually screen and buffer the storage areas from adjacent properties zoned R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, C-1, C- 2, or I-1 in accordance with Section 33.5.3.4 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance, as amended. New junkyards, salvage yards, landfills, and uses with open storage areas shall be encouraged to locate in areas where they can be visually screened and can conform to health and safety regulations. MUD.CPolicy 2.10 New developments, including major public utility facilities, shall mitigate adverse visual impacts caused by outside storage, building scale, disturbed native vegetation, and other such activities by screening and/or buffering. MUD.CPolicy 2.11 Density in the Mixed Use Development area shall be governed by a Maximum Lot Coverage Standard which correlates buildable lot sizes with open space allocations. Mixed Use Development Plan Page 4 Land designated as having Limiting Site Factors on the Structural Land Use Map 2.1, are primarily defined by the 100 -year floodplain (as defined by FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps) which comprises approximately 4,500 acres, or 38% of the total designated area in the MUD area. Sites shown with limiting factors also incorporate other important natural features as well, including wildlife habitat, mature riparian areas, primary drainageways and sand and gravel resources. Therefore additional land containing Limiting Site Factors is shown along irrigation canals, ditches and adjacent to lakes. To the maximum extent practical development within areas having Limiting Site Factors shall be located to preserve the natural features of the site, to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity, and to minimize negative impacts and alteration of natural features. 2.3 Common Open Space Regulations All Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) within the MUD area shall preserve a portion of the site as common open space. "Common Open Space" is defined as any usable parcel of land or water essentially unimproved and set aside, dedicated, designated or reserved for public or private use or enjoyment or for the use and enjoyment of owners or occupants of land adjoining or neighboring such an area. Common Open Space includes landscape areas that are not occupied by buildings or uses such as storage or services areas, private courtyards, parking lots and islands. In all PUD districts except for those containing residential uses, common open space may include landscape setbacks adjacent to roadways, where the setbacks are not utilized as parking or storage areas. Common Open Space is not to be included in the calculation of the maximum coverage per lot. The minimum percentages of each development devoted to Common Open Space are listed in Table 2.2. Common Open Space shall be delineated in the sketch plan phase of the PUD process. In areas preserved as Common Open Space, a detailed description of the type(s) of grass and landscaping which will be utilized and the maintenance schedule for such landscaping shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services. Table 2.2 Common Open Space for Land Use Categories Land Use Designation Percent of Common Open Space Required Employment Center -High Intensity 2-5% Regional Commercial - Medium Intensity 23% r ! Neighborhood Center - Low Intensity 25-% Residential - Mixed Intensity 256kL' Limiting Site Factors - Lowest Intensity 30% Mixed Use Development Plan Page 18 screening along roadways shall be avoided. Open space shall be provided where significant natural features exist. 2.6.3 Landscaping Requirements for Parking Lots 1. At least ten (10) percent of the area of a parking lot must be landscaped if the lot contains 10 or more spaces. The requirement shall be counted toward the common open space requirement of each zone district. At least seventy five (75) percent of the required landscape area shall include living plant material. 2. Berming and shrub or tree planting shall be used to screen parking lots from view of the roadway. Berms can vary in height depending on location and proximity of existing trees. Berms shall have smooth transitions from the top of the curb to the setback lin', with allowances made for placement of the sidewalk. Grading of berms shall not be lumpy or abrupt. (See Figure 2.3) Figure 2.3 Berming and Screening Parking 3. Landscaping techniques shall be used to alleviate the harsh visual appearance that accompanies parking lots. (See Figure 2.4) At least 75 percent of the length of the frontage of the parking lot must be effectively screened. 4. A minimum of 5 percent of the parking area shall be landscaped exclusive of setback areas. Trees planted in parking areas should be either in bays or planting islands of at least 5 feet by 5 feet. Trees should be distributed throughout the parking area (See Figure 4.5). Mixed Use Development Plan Page 23 2.6.4 Landscaping Requirements Along Roadway Corridors 1. Intent The major roadway corridors within the MUD area are I-25, State Highway 119, State Highway 66, and Weld County Road 1. These roadways play an important role in the function and image of the MUD area. The following design standards relate to the visual quality of these four roadways. As the MUD area develops, additional roadways may require similar consideration as these existing major roadway corridors. This determination will be made by the Weld County Department of Public Works and the Colorado Department of Transportation. All roadways that are not considered major roadway corridors are considered secondary roadways. 2. Design Criteria a. Plantings along road right-of-ways shall be integrated with the rest of the site. b. That portion of a lot in any zone district which abuts a public or private road right- of-way shall be landscaped with a minimum 2 1/2 -inch caliper shade tree or 6 -foot minimum height coniferous tree at a distance of ten (10) feet, measured at a right angle from the lot line towards the interior of the lot, for every 40 linear feet of street frontage. Trees may be grouped with a maximum distance of 100 feet between trees or groupings, with exceptions made at entrance drives. c. A minimum landscape setback along I-25 and SH 119 shall be fifty (50) feet measured from the existing or planned future right-of-way. d. Along I-25, State Highway 119, State Highway 66, and Weld County Road 1, tree planting distances shall be clustered or grouped from the roadway to avoid a straight line of trees. The effectiveness of the screening shall be increased by planting trees and shrubs in layered beds (two or more rows of plant material rather than a single row). A mix of coniferous and deciduous trees and shrubs shall be planted in clusters or groupings. e. Applicants adjacent to I-25 and/or SH 119 shall construct a berm along I-25 and/or SH 119 with maximum 5:1 side slopes to a height sufficient to screen ground plane development (parking lots, storage areas, or other similar site elements) as far as 180' from the right-of-way line (50' of landscape setback plus 130' of site development). The maximum height berm required shall be 6' above the existing elevation in the location of the berm. If needed, additional height beyond that which can be achieved with a 6' high berm shall be achieved through dense landscape plantings. A berm may not be required if the subject property is elevated Mixed Use Development Plan Page 25 constructed or maintained under the standards will comply with the sign regulations of the county in the MUD area and shall be for the purpose of assuring harmony and visual quality throughout a project. Final development plans shall not be approved until the sign standards have been approved by the Board . All signs in development complexes shall be designed and constructed of materials which harmonize with the architecture of the site on which the sign is located. Generally, the use of sign materials the same as or similar to the main building materials used on -site shall be found to provide the required level of design harmony. 2. Attached Signs: Size, Height and Design Limitations: a. Awning Signs shall not be larger than twenty-five (25) square feet nor 10% of the awning surface area whichever is smaller. b. Marquee, Canopy, Overhead Canopy, Under -Canopy, Projecting or Wall Signs: 1) Minimum Height Requirements: These signs shall be mounted at least fourteen (14) feet above any driveway and at least nine (9) feet above any walkway over which they are erected. 2) Maximum Height Requirements: The top line of these signs shall not be higher than the top of the wall, roof eaves, or parapet line of the building to which it is attached. 3. Detached Signs: Location, Size, Height and Design Limitations a. Detached signs shall not be located in the visual sight triangle. b. Off -site detached signs shall have a minimum setback of twenty-five (25) feet and a minimum offset of ten (10) feet r.'o c. On -site identification signs shall have a minimum setback of fifteen (15) feet and a minimum offset of ten (10) feet d. Detached signs shall have surrounding landscaping which extends a minimum of three feet from all sides of the sign base. e. The total height of any monument or pole sign shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet above the adjoining ground elevation. f. Monument signs shall have an enclosed, solid base or structural base with the base at least three -fourths the width of the widest part of the sign face. An enclosed or solid sign base shall not be required if the lower edge of the sign face is not higher than one (1) foot above the finished grade. Monument signs shall be on -premise signs, the sign area shall not exceed twenty-five (25) square feet, and the sign shall not exceed five (5) feet in height above the average adjacent grade, if located fifteen (15) feet from the street right-of-way. For each additional two (2) feet of setback from the street right-of-way, one (1) additional foot may be added to the height of the sign to a maximum of eight (8) feet. 4. The minimum spacing between signs shall be six hundred (600) feet. Mixed Use Development Plan Page 41 2.8.5 Nonconforming Signs Every legally established sign in existence on the effective date of these regulations within the MUD area may continue in existence subject to the following: 1. A sign shall not be altered structurally or moved unless it is made to comply with the provisions of these regulations. The changing of the movable parts of an existing sign that is designed for such changes, or the repainting or reposting of display matter shall not be deemed a structural alteration. 2. The lawful use of a sign existing on the effective date of these regulations, although such sign does not conform to the provisions hereof, may continue; but if such nonconforming use is discontinued for a period of six (6) months or more, such sign shall not be used until it has been made to conform with the provisions of these regulations. 3. Any sign which has been damaged by fife, wind, explosion, or act of God to the extent that fifty (50) percent or more of the construction value or replacement cost of the sign before it was damaged shall be deemed to have been totally destroyed and the sign shall not be restored except in conformity with these regulations. Any sign which has been damaged to an extent less than fifty (50) percent of the construction value or replacement cost of the sign before it was damaged may be restored to the condition which it existed previously as a nonconforming use prior to its damage. 2.9 Utility, Infrastructure and Public Facility Regulations 2.9.1 Intent By their nature, most utility services are highly regulated. This regulation encompasses ownership, financing, competition, cost recovery, construction, environmental protection and safety. Given this regulatory and legal environment, well -established federal, state, county and industry standards/codes exist that govern most aspects of utility service. The intent of this section is to provide additional regulations and standards for water supply to meet fire flow demands, solid waste collection service, and to provide standards for public facilities and services throughout the MUD area. 2.9.2 Water Supply and Sewage Disposal The specifications of water supply requirements for fire protection within the MUD area is provided by the Mountain View Fire Protection District. All development within this Mixed Use Development Plan Page 42 area is required to abide by and adhere to the development standards for fire protection and water flow set forth by the Mountain View Fire Protection District . The Weld County Comprehensive Plan specifies that the water supply system serving a proposed development site or zone district must deliver a minimum of 500 gallons per minute at 20 pounds per square inch residual pressures for 30 minutes. The St. Vrain Sanitation System, a private sanitation system, shall service all sewage disposal within the MUD area for uses except those specifically called out and exempted from the PUD process in Section 2.5 of this plan. 2.9.3 Solid Waste Residential and commercial solid waste collection services in the area shall be arranged directly between solid waste disposal firms and property owners/managers. Solid waste disposal shall be accomplished by collection firms at licensed disposal facilities. 2.9.4 Storm Drainage Design and Technical Criteria Weld County does not publish technical data or storm drainage design manuals. The , g engineer d .moo is to use published material by a generally accepted authority approved by the Weld County Engineer. The material used must be referenced and copied as part of the submittal information. All development within the MUD area shall adhere to the Storm Drainage Design and Technical Criteria regulations in Section 10.13 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. 2.9.5 Schools 1. All residential PUD applications shall be referred to the applicable school district for review and recommendation regarding school district requirements. The Department of Planning Services, Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners shall consider the recommendation of the school district. 2. Elementary schools (grades K-5) will occupy sites with a minimum area of 10 acres, middle schools (grades 6-8) will consist of a minimum of 25 -acre sites, and high schools (grade 9-12) will consist of a minimum of 40 -acre sites. 3. Schools sites shall be located as required by the St. Vrain Valley School District. They shall be located near established neighborhoods, connected to trail systems and Mixed Use Development Plan Page 43 designated bike routes, and adjacent to neighborhood parks whenever possible. Elementary schools shall not border major arterial or collector roadways.

Inventory of Existing Uses The Mixed Use Development area (MUD area) was recognized in 1987 in the Weld County Comprehensive Plan as a future urban development corridor within Weld County. Since 1987, a minimal amount of development has occurred; however, recent activity has accelerated in the area and in the surrounding communities. This development activity has reinforced the need for long-term approaches to planning in the region, and resulted in the initiation of this planning process. 3.1 Intent This Section of the plan presents a detailed description of the area's physical and social characteristics, regional influences and market trends. The most logical use of land and development of public facilities is presented, so as to create a community structure that is self-sustaining. it w•! 3.1.1 Background Planning The preparation of the MUD Plan is a result of several phases. In each phase, constant communication occurred through regular meetings with the Technical Advisory Committee, Weld County Department of Planning Services' staff, County Commissioners and public meetings. Planning for the MUD area began by analyzing a variety of plans, studies, agreements, ordinances and general service information concerning the area. This information was reviewed and evaluated for possible influences on the MUD planning area. Existing conditions were evaluated extensively. With the assistance of key members of the Technical Advisory Committee and Weld County Planning staff, regional influences, existing land uses, zoning and planned developments were identified. The types, numbers and location of services were delineated and evaluated in terms of existing capacity and ability to respond to growth. Services evaluated included utilities, transportation systems, community and civic services, and parks and open space. To understand the market forces influencing the area and project expected growth, a real estate market analysis was conducted during the early phases of the study. Land use plan alternatives were developed and evaluated in terms of population densities and levels of commercial, industrial, and retail development. Each alternative reflected viable growth patterns based on the expected trends in the area, its ability to sustain growth and current planning practices. After careful consideration by commissioners, staff and citizens, a preferred alternative was selected and utilized in the creation of the MUD Plan.

As you will see the parcel is 260+/- acres. The land use designated in the Comprehensive Plan is for residential, Kaire would like to request that this be modified to indicate office/light industrial. Ka ire is aware that a great deal of planning and thought has gone into the Comprehensive Plan along the I-25 corridor. However, we would appreciate your consideration of the reasons that we believe justify a land use designation change for this parcel. I would like to take this opportunity to describe the corporate vision for this property. We envision our Kaire World Headquarters being position between the railroad tracks and the Oligarchy Ditch with the area to the North of the rails being held as a nature area. This would place the Kaire facility on approximately 170+/- acres. The remaining 90+/- acres are located in the corner from WCR 3 1/2 and fronting HWY 119. We would like to develop this as a premier quality business park. While we still need to ascertain the very best use of the land, and much more thought would need to be put into designing covenants for the business park, the following are some of our initial thoughts: • Maximum building height of 35'. • Approximate floor/area ratio of 1:3, yielding approximately 60% per commercial lot to building and parking, and the remaining 40% to open area. • 30' landscaped buffer from residential. • 100' landscaped buffer from HWY 119. • Architectural guidelines: Screening/buffering of parking areas, consider no parking in setbacks. Screening of outdoor storage areas. materials to be masonry, stone, pre -cast concrete ( no metal buildings, no twin -tee buildings. No loading docks visible from streets unless screened. Generous front and side yard setbacks. Site lighting a 25' maximum with shielded fixtures. Roof -top equipment screened from view. • All utilities underground. • Signage restricted to low profile and size limitations. Kaire will develop this parcel with the only the highest quality workmanship and materials. Extensive work will be done to ensure minimal disturbance of the adjoining neighbors and to also to ensure the natural beauty of parcel is enhanced and not K.uRI IN , INC. 380 Sr., Lor.C;M()N r Coi.uanno 80501-6048 (303)682-0110 Rnx (303)682-9091 destroyed. Kaire will work enthusiastically with Weld County of satisfy the needs and requirements of the county. If you take a moment to look over the conceptual drawing contained in the packet you will note that Kaire has plans for extensive landscaping. Too small to be seen are walking trails that meander through the complex. We feel that this is our contribution to the community and will provide our neighbors a beautiful, safe place to walk with their families. Kaire's plans include a family center. The family center will offer our employees an on site daycare facility for their children and a senior center to assist them with aging parents. Though it hasn't been determined yet, it is very possible that Kaire would open this facility to the public, thereby allowing the nearby residents to have employment opportunities and child care all with in walking distance. Kaire is a health and nutritional company and our operations are mainly office, with heavy order entry and data support staffing, and warehousing. We do not manufacture or bottle our product at our location, we warehouse our product and package it for shipping to our associates. We do not have large trucks or heavy traffic to or from our facility, two UPS trucks per day and the occasional delivery truck. Kaire is aware that the surrounding current and future residents may have less than positive feelings toward the request for a land use change. We are very willing to meet with all concerned parties, introduce them to our company and share our vision for this parcel of land. We truly believe that we would be an excellent neighbor the residents. Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or need additional information.

Based in Longmont, Colorado, the company markets health and beauty aids throughout the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. By the end of 1995, Kaire had a 300,000 associate base and sales of nearly $60 million. Kaire is committed to the quality of the products that carry its name, and uses a few select companies to develop its proprietary formulas. All products in the United States are shipped from its center in Longmont, Colorado, direct to its associates who order on an as -needed basis. Kaire discourages its associates from stocking inventory. There is no up -front fee to become a Kaire associate. Anyone can place an order for Kaire's products for personal use, sell them to retail customers or sponsor others into the network of Kaire's associates. The associate earns bonuses on the sales volume of people sponsored, as well as the productivity of the people they sponsor through six additional generations. Kaire also believes in giving back to the communities in which it does business. It is one of the few direct marketing companies that pays sales and use tax in the states where it operates. It has also adopted "Feed the Children" as its national charity. In addition to its in -kind product contribution, it matches employee cash contributions on a five -to -one basis. According to executives with Feed the Children, this is the most generous match of any of its corporate sponsors.

The corporate philosophy is one of giving support to the community that it resides in. In keeping with this spirit, Kaire International supports many local organizations, either with direct donations or some other form of contribution. One of the organizations that Kaire and its employees have been particularly pleased to support is the OUR Center. Kaire's employees have been very generous with their donations of clothing and food baskets, while Kaire has supported the OUR Center with gift certificates to local grocery stores at Christmas, and donations of turkeys at Thanksgiving. Kaire has also contributed support to the Inn Between, Longmont Coalition for Women in Crisis, Tiny Tim Development Center, Meals on Wheels, and Habitat for Humanity. Kaire is especially in favor of lending its support to the youth of our community and around the world. Locally we have chosen to support educational programs at Berthoud, Longmont and Skyline High Schools, the D.A.R.E. program, and the Mountain State Children Home. On a larger scale we have chosen "Feed the Children" as our national charity, and are members of CARE's President's Circle. On an international level we have provided nutritional supplements and multivitamins to the Children of Chernobyl. This has been a rewarding experience for all involved. These children are victims of radiation poisoning due to the nuclear reactor meltdown at the Chernobyl power plant, and the love and gratitude shown to us by both them and their families has been a humbling experience for this corporation.

DIRECT SELLING By Duncan Maxwell Anderson Drag Race Kaire International Roars From Zero to $70 Million Kaire Internation- al's CEO, Nick Mangeris, has seen it all: from drag racing to ditch digging to becom- ing a top insur- ance salesman. He's learned that without profession- al management, growing pains are fatal. After three years ofaccelera- tion, Kaire is healthy and zoom- ing. IN JUST THREE YEARS, KAIRE INTERNATIONAL OF Longmont, Colo., has gone from a standing start to more than $70 million in annual sales — wholesale, no-nonsense, dollars -in -the -door sales. It's the kind of blinding acceleration you might expect from a former semi -pro drag racer. Founder and president Nick Mangeris, 52, explains his success to date as the result of anticipating and dealing with the unique danger of a successful network marketing idea: getting blindsided by too much growth. Unlike a conventional business, in network market- ing, it's really the distributors who decide how fast the company will grow, while headquarters tries to predict how they'll behave. Mangeris didn't realize it until years later, but his eclectic background, which included drag racing, construction, insurance sales, and distributing for several network market- ing companies, perfectly prepared him for the ride of his life. What did you do before direct sales? I was born during the Second World War when my father was in the Air Force on Guam. I grew up in the projects in Canton, Ohio. I was involved in semi -pro drag racing as a youth, building my own engines and cars. I also helped my father park cars at the Stardust Hotel when we moved to Las Vegas for his health. But I knew I didn't want hourly work all my life, turning a wrench for a living. What did you want to do? I was never afraid to speak or stay a conversation in an elevator, so I knew I could go into sales. I did petroleum sales to gas stations for oil companies, keeping them stocked and selling gasoline additives to increase engine performance. When did you hear about network marketing? In the mid -'60s, Ijoined BestLine, which sold home - based cleaning products, kind of a knockoff of Amway. It was heavily front -loaded. You had to buy a lot of product, supply your downline, and pay them. This was before company computers kept the accounts. The friend who signed me up bor- rowed $1,500 against his house to buy inventory. That was an incredible amount of money; a nice home cost $22,000. ' Were you good at direct selling? Yes. I was perceived as — "Get Nick Mangeris in your organization. You'll make a ton of money." But I never mark- any money. I did it part-time for about six months. A lot of people had this product in their garages for years. I still have the second box I bought. I keep it as a reminder. Did you go to another network marketing company? No. The experience left a sour taste in my mouth. I went into construction as a ditchdigger and got pro- moted to management. After a few years, I started selling life insurance. I went from there to Kaiser Aluminum and made national sales manager. I didn't realize it at the time, but everything I was doing was preparing me to start Kaire. I was mak- ing good money at Kaiser, but I realized I wasn't really getting anywhere. A friend got me into Shak- lee. I made a little money part-time and saw improvement in my health, not getting the colds I used to. The death of a couple of friends gave me a dose of reality. I wasn't going to live forever. My wife had a bout with uterine cancer. I started read- ing in a variety of different publications about the loss of vitamins from our food. In 1980, another friend brought me into Forever Living. I started building an organization and then Reprinted with permission of SUCCESS MAGAZINE - March 1996 Copyright O1996 Success Holdings Company LLC For a subscription to SUCCESS Magazine call 1-800-234-7324. You may purchase the current issue at your local newsstand. was appointed general manager, then executive vice president. I left in Novem- ber 1988. In 1992, I started Kaire with Bob Richards from Continental Tax Corp. Why did you leave Forever Living? I thought I could grow a stronger organi- zation with less turnover if there was a big- ger payout to distributors. Most compa- nies would be ecstatic to keep 8 to 10 percent of their distributors from one year to the next. We keep 20 percent. I was watching Nu Skin and FiberQuest. Nu Skin was fulfilling orders from corpo- rate headquarters instead of having distrib- utors buy a big personal minimum every month to sell products to their downlines. That made it less of a burden each month. Our plan is a unilevel: If you buy $300 in personal sales a month, that qualifies you for our maximum override payout — up to 70 percent. That isn't onerous, since the average family will consume $150 to $1.90 per month on its own. We pay 10 percent on five levels; 5 percent on the sixth and seventh; plus an infinity bonus on all the volume in your organization. What product did you want Kaire to sell? In 1991, I learned about antioxidants. Reducing oxidation is the body made sense to me because of my experience with machinery and rust. I heard about a very effective antioxidant called Pyc- nogenol, which was beingsold only in health food stores. It has an interesting story: Back in the 1500s, ja.opes Carnet': men were dying of scunt, in Canada. A squaw made them a ter from pine nee- dles and cured them. I'hc. active ingredi- ent in the needles was Pycnogenol. It turns out that the bark of the maritime pine tree is the best source of it. It gets three inches thick. In 1992, we came out with an exclusive formulation called Mar- itime Prime, which is easily absorbed by the body. It got us going as a company. Did you have any other advantages? My management team knows business; I know network marketing. There are probably 1,000 such companies in busi- ness today. But four out of five of these fail in their first 18 months. I've watched companies that I thought had good prod- ucts go right out of business. In most cases, their management lacked a busi- ness background. Running a company is different from being an employee or a distributor. You're working with people in a close environment day to day. You've got to oversee budgets, know something DIRECT SELLING about accounting, and deal with bankers, community leaders, and distributors. Founders often have an arrogance; they think they know what to do. They bring in their friends instead of professionals. What's the most common cause of failure? Undetfundicg. Management fails to antic- ipate the cost of keeping enough invento- ry. "How did I know it was going to grow that fast? Where can I get the extra $100,000 to make more product?" You've got to have the money up front. If you have a tremendous cash flow coming in, you've got to bank it and operate the company on 40 percent of that, plus put some aside for bonuses later. Some companies fail to make good sales projections. There was a whey prod- uct for milk replacement called Meadow Fresh. It was incredible. They were get- ting bags of mail with hundreds of thou- sands of dollars in them. But they couldn't put out enough product to fill the orders, because they hadn't forecast it, and it hadn't been manufactured. When that happens, orders fall off, and the company spirals down. How do you stay on top of the future? I talk every day with our sales and market- ing group. The new distributors coming in every month — they're the headlight of the train coming to you in 90 days. You'll need product for them as they build their organizations. And you have to under- stand the seasonal fluctuations in distribu- tor activity: Christmas and one of the summer months will be slow, because of vacations. It looks simple from the out- side. There's more to it than meets the eye. What's Kaire's performance to date? We had more than $70 million in 1995 sales — wholesale. We're debt -free. I expect to hit near $250 million this year. We have six people making more than $1 million per year. As of recently, we hit 300,000 distributors. We have retained more than 20 percent of our people per year. We ship 3,500 to 5,000 orders per day. We're in business in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the U.S. I antici- pate we'll be in two or three Pacific Rim countries this year. One thing that's helped us grow so fast in three years is that someone can spon- sor you to sign up by phone — we mail you the forms. We can get your first order to you, so you can see the benefits of the product. That also saves having a distribu- tor having to go around with $2,000 in inventory to sell to new people. We have automatic "roll -up and com- pression," which creates larger bonuses: If someone downline from you isn't buying, the computer has the person below him or to the side roll up to that position. What's your goal? To have the distributors own this compa- ny. They built it. If I'm doing my job, they'll keep me on as president. I look at the staying power of Amway, Shaklee, and Mary Kay. I want to make this corpora- tion last 50 or 100 years. What's the next trend you see coming in net- work marketing? Well, the growth is continuing. We have The future: As direct selling here gains 15,000 distributors per month, you'll see exotic new products from Brazil, Africa, and Australia. 15.'200 new distributors per month in North America. You'll see more products coming into America's diet from Brazil, Africa, and other places. There will be more para-medicinal products like our Kobi — it's a topical pain reliever made from emu oil from Australia. For the last year, we've had our medical advisory council doing studies to come out with a weight management product that's long-term. It's still confidential. It's nutritional, weight loss, and maintenance. Certain portions of it will let you sleep better and have more energy by enhanc- ing the body's functions. We'll introduce it in 1996. It will have an enzyme delivery system. All I can say is that it's not pills or capsules, and you won't have to open the can to scoop out the powder. It won't inhibit your lifestyle. A lady can drop it in her purse, a gentleman can put it in his pocket. We'll be the first with this — nobody else is doing it. 1 AUGUST 1996 • VOLUME 11 ISSUE 08 • $2.50 • (708) 633.8888 • WWW: http://www.mmmonthly,com/ E-mail;•mmml@ais.net CONSULT YOUR MLM ATTORNEY WHO CONTROLS MARKETING 1VIATEruns?

After achieving a level of. success and acceptance, its name, trademark and goodwill become its most valuable assets. Nobody will dispute that names such as Amway, Mary Kay or Fuller Brush have become some of the most prized possessions of those com- panies. It is understandable that attaching such names to any merchandise whether it be product, sales aids or sales tools will add real value to those items. No one disputes that distributors may distribute company merchandise carrying company trademarks and disseminate authorized company literature. A growing phenomenon in recent years, how- ever, particularly with the advent of desktop publishing and low cost printing, has been the creation of sales aids and sales tools by distributors and third parties which carry com- pany trademarks. In fact, the sales tools business has be- come a very lucrative business as armies of distributors de- vour printed literature, videotapes and audio cassettes which may help in both recruitment and sales. continued on page 22 NEW STATISTICS RELEASED AT DSA ANNUAL 1VIEET 1NG BY KEITH LAGGOS The Direct Selling Association (DSA) recently concluded its annual convention. The event drew 800 attendees, set- ting a record attendance figure for the annual get together. The convention was held at beautiful, Pointe Hilton on South Mountain Resort, lune 16th -19th. The theme for the event was "Building a culture of opportunity." Attendees included executives from nearly 100 direct sales and mul- tilevel companies. Also in attendance were numerous sup- pliers to the industry, plus the efficient and courteous DSA staff. Anita 'flicker and her people —disheartened by the re- cent death of lay Hescock but also inspired by the example he always set —were able to stage a wonderful convention. Especially impressive were the events in the Exhibit Hall, which drew approximately 250 suppliers who staffed more than 80 booths, and with other suppliers who were unable to secure booths walking the aisles. We are happy to report that Money Maker's Monthly/Wealth Building had a booth that was well visited by our advertisers, writers and well wishers alike. COMPANY OF THE MONTH...

The DSA sponosred a special event evening billed as 'the Fort McDowell Experience," which cook place at the Fort McDowell —Mojave —Apache Indian Community. The conference was very well managed and profession- ally administrated. However, according to an informal sur- vey I :onducted, many attendees expressed their feelings that some of the workshops and general session presenta- tions lacked the content and impact of DSA's previous an- nual conventions. In hopes of offering DSA leadership some helpful criti- cistn, many individuals told me they felt that while some of the workshops proved very useful, content -wise, to newcom- ers, other workshops arid presentations provided a reconfir- mation of concepts, ideas and approaches that are already coin:. -en knowledge and/or practice among seasoned multi- level r sket',rs, network marketers and direct sellers. Toe DSA announced the findings of its yearly survey. The direct sales industry was up 8.4 percent to $18 billion, com- pared to a !.9 percent increase in the Retail and a 5.8 per- cent increase in the Mail Order industries. Although 37 per - ;cm of the 190 million adults are interested in buying from fuc;t sales companies, only 3 percent of the $600 billion in eurcha.es are currently aimed at direct sales companies. continued on page 32 WE S:' NSIDE.

The majority of citizens represented were property owners in MUD area, specifically those residents that reside in the area designated for proposed change. The citizens recommended six basic changes to the MUD Structural Plan. 1. The first of these recommendations consists of changing the land use classification from employment center to residential/agricultural as depicted on the Structural Land Use map. While several property owners have requested this land use change, their combined total of land holding represents approximately 25 % of the total area. Today, I received a call from the majority land owner in the area, and she requested that the Structural Land Use Plan remain as presently presented with a land use designation of Employment Center. In lieu of these recent findings, the Department of Planning Services recommends that the MUD Structural Land Use Plan remain as presented, and the Department of Planning Services' staff will meet with property owners in the area to try to develop a compromise plan. 2. The citizens requested that the Rinn Church be listed as a community/historical site. The Department of Planning Services staff concurs with this recommendation and has included this change on the Structural Land Use map. 3. The citizens expressed the desire for the County to actively pursue a specific MUD Planning Commission. The idea of formulating community participation is one which is held in high esteem by the Department of Planning Services. However, after consultation with Assistant County Attorney, Lee Morrison, this may not be a feasible alternative. Staff has suggested further investigation into avenues to encourage citizen participation in the MUD area and is pursuing these alternatives with the County Attorney's Office. 4. The citizen group recommended changing road classifications and placement of several roadways throughout the MUD area. Much of the transportation system recommendation is based upon the amount of land dedicated to various land use categories. As these categories are modified the intensity of the roadways will also need to be modified. Drew Scheltinga is aware of the p pposed land use changes and will incorporate these chanu•3s into a recommendation for the final reading. Irreguardless of the classifications shown on the Structural Transportation Network Map, the requirements for number of lanes, turn lanes, and accell-decell lanes should be determined by the traffic studies required in Section 2.7 Transportation and Circulation Regulations. SERVICE, TEAMWORK, INTEGRITY, QUALITY January 6, 1997 Page 2 5. The citizen group expressed a concern regarding the time window for changes to the MUD Plan. As proposed, the MUD Plan can be amended twice a year. The citizen group recommended allowing changes to the MUD plan only once a year. During prior public meetings, held in the MUD, area other citizens expressed that fact the there should be no time perimeters associated with proposing changes to the MUD Plan. The Department of Planning Services staff believes that the current policy of modifying the MUD Plan twice a year is neither to stringent nor to lenient. 6. The citizens expressed concern over minimal design standards associated with the MUD and have requested that the Board of County Commissioners seriously consider the highest possible land -use standard associated with the MUD. The Department of Planning Services staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners consider these six recommendations and incorporate staff comments concerning these changes into the record. pc: Robert Nash 1212memo.sef SERVICE, TEAMWORK, INTEGRITY, QUALITY January 2, 1997 Monica: I have the calculations for the map given to Sharon White.

WELD COUNTY - I994 PP' ' t,' O• ' ..•oO S PUgPpSE, OUR VISION G Rinn United` Methodist Church TO THE. 7^'.:,... December 11, 1996 - W. eld County Piannmg Dept. DEC 3 0 1996 Weld County Commissioners 915 10th Street Greeley, Colorado 80632 Subject Ordinance #191 -Mixed Use Development Plan (MUD) Dear Commissioners: Enclosed you will find a picture of our church that appeared in USA Today in October. You will note that our church surroundings at this point are primarily agricultural. We are located at 3783 Weld County Road 20, less than 1/4 mile west of I-25. Rinn Church has served the Rinn, Del Camino, Tri-Town and St. Vrain areas for nearly 100 years, contributing to the educational, moral, spiritual, benevolent and economic foundations of the community.. -Many of our members have served and continue to serve in significant community and regional positions: We also are serving the Hispanic community through making available our facilities to and cooperating with the Good Shepherd Church. In response to the population growth in this area, we have spent the last three years enlarging our sanctuary. This has been accomplished primarily through volunteer labor, much of it from the wider area: The Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church, our adjudicatory body, has made significant investments in the staffing and construction of the church over the past ten;years. We are deeply concerned aboutthe`adverse impact that the proposed MUD plan for the Del ,Camino area will have on bothus and this region. We would support. zoning which allows the immediately surrounding area to be developed as housing, which is a complementary and appropriate use.; However, the proposed MUD would literally surround our church property with the industrial structures of the high intensity "employment center." This situation can only have a devastating impact on our setting, its perception by area residents, the church's well-being and thus our ability to function effectively. The proposed MUD also would create other serious problems on all sides in the use of our property. Our church and parking lot are fronted by Weld County Road 20: The proposed plan would make that road part of the employment center traffic circulation: The current 1-25 west frontage road is several hundred feet east of our property. Its extension from Del Camino alone will add to traffic and noise. Adding even further to the problems of noise, aer ss and safety is the proposed I-25 exit at r ,,J 3783 Weld County Road 20 • Longmont, Colorado 80504 • (303) 776-1578rptt u` Pt 097 ccc- Road 20. At the very least, it will abut the eastern side of our property and create serious noise and traffic problems for church activities, especially worship. Almost unbelieveably, our situation will be worse yet if the west frontage road is moved 1/3 mile west --that would create at least a two-lane road on the immediate west of our property, thus virtually surrounding us on three sides with heavy commercial and industrial traffic and noise. Traffic will be further increased by making Road 7 four lanes. We appreciate your efforts to involve citizens in the planning process, and we applaud county efforts to provide guidelines and standards for the sensible shaping of this rapidly growing area. Surely this includes consideration of the contribution that churches can and do make to the moral and spiritual fiber of a community. We urge you and the Planning Commission to consider how the plan might be improved to minimize adverse impact on the Rinn Church and to allow it to continue being a positive force in this area of the county. We request that this letter be made a permanent record in your files for the proposed MUD (Ordinance #191 Mixed Use Development Plan) and future development considerations. Thank you for your consideration. Our thoughts and prayers are with you this Holiday Season, and in the years ahead on your decisions for this area. Chairperson Administrative Council Rev.

One of the requests made by the citizens was to change the classification of WCR 7 on Map 2.2, Transportation Network from a four lane arterial with a painted median to a two-lane collector. The idea is, if part of the land use classification along the southern end of WCR 7 is changed from Employment Center to Residential/Agricultural, there will be less traffic generated and no need to make WCR 7 a four -lane. It is my opinion, irregardless of what is shown on the Transportation Network Map, the requirements for the number of through lanes, turn lanes, accel lanes, and decel lanes should be determined by the traffic studies required in Section 2.7, Transportation and Circulation Requirements. That is consistent with MUD.T Policy 3.3 on Page 11 that states, "The County will require improvement of roads, streets, or highway facilities when dictated by traffic demand and land development patters in the MUD area." Our cross-section for the four -lane arterial with painted median requires a 100 foot right-of-way, and our cross-section for the two-lane collector with painted median requires an 80 foot right-of-way. The classification of WCR 7 on the Structural Transportation Network Map will be very important when we are requiring the dedication of additional right-of-way when land is developed. Although it is a difference of only ten feet on one side, it makes a great deal of difference when adding lanes in the future. It should also be noted that with the requirement of bike lanes and pedestrian ways, there is no extra room within the proposed rights -of -way. The Mixed Use Development Plan's Transportation Policies and Regulations are clear that roadways will not be widened unless land development occurs and a traffic impact analysis indicates a widening is necessary. I recommend leaving WCR 7 classified as a four -lane arterial with painted median on the Structural Transportation Network Map. I spoke to two people who own property south of Turner Boulevard. They requested a clarification in Section 3.4.3.1, Proposed Circulation System, on Page 89. The first paragraph on that page indicates the existing Western Frontage Road should be extended to the south to tie into the future employment area local circulation network. The property owners would like the County to clarify that Turner Boulevard should be extended to the south and tie into the proposed north/south four -lane arterial to the west. Although that is our intention, it should be clarified. Board of Weld County Commissioners January 23, 1997 Page 2 I recommend adding the following sentence to the first paragraph on Page 89: "Turner Boulevard should be extended south into the future employment area and connect to the proposed north/south four -lane arterial that will be located to the west. The Structural Transportation Network Map should be revised to clarify our intention. cc: Monica Michael -Daniels, Director of Planning wpfiles\engineer\mud 3 I'i'i COLORADO MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners January 27, 1997 From: Kern D. Keithley, Current Planner SUBJECT: Ordinance 191 Staff Corrections/Additions The following is a list of staffs corrections and/or additions to Ordinance 191. Page 15 2.2.4 Residential District 1. Addition of language promoting the continuance of the agrarian lifestyle in the area. Page 18 2.3 Addition of verbiage allowing greater flexibility in evaluating proposals containing less than the percentage of Common Open Space delineated in Table 2.2. Page 23 2.6.3 Addition of verbiage to ensure that plantings in parking areas do not obstruct visibility. Page 42 2.8.4 Addition of regulations for a development complex sign in order to address the identification signage for Planned Unit Developments. Page 73 3.2 Historic Sites: Addition of verbiage identifying the Rinn Church as a historic site in the MUD area. Page 53 3.2.2.1 Schools: Update of school capacity and projected enrollments in Table 3.1. Staff has also contacted neighboring municipalities around and inside the MUD area to determine the amount of Common Open Space that each municipality requires. Percentages varied from 12% (Frederick) to a formula based upon the density and zone district of the development (Longmont). For example, a high density, multi -family development proposed in Longmont would require 30 percent common open space. The municipalities also required land dedication or cash in lieu for neighborhood or community park land. Attached is also the attendance list for the community meeting held on January 16, 1997 at the Rinn Church. 2 Legend MilU 1-25 MUD Area Boundary Employment Center — High Intensity Residential — Mixed Intensity Limiting Site Factors — Lowest Intensity Study Area -- Existing Road �. 4 Lane Raised Median u as m s Proposed Interchange —.no Proposed Rood --- section Line Rh Historic/Community Center ---- DHrh—Ikea ......

These Centers include commercial and industrial activities which are medium intensity levels and have few environmental and service related impacts. Activities in these Centers may include the following: • Retail shops • Civic uses such as libraries, community centers, churches • Service businesses such as offices • Public facilities and utility service facilities • Restaurants • Retail and wholesale establishments • Light manufacturing and research facilities 2.2.3 Neighborhood Centers Neighborhood Centers are established to provide convenience goods and services primarily for the residents of a specific neighborhood. These Centers should be accessible via sidewalks, trails or greenways, creating identity for individual neighborhoods. Neighborhood Centers characteristically have few environmental impacts and rely more upon service related provisions such as law enforcement and fire protection. New development within these Centers shall therefore mitigate the impacts associated with its use. Neighborhood Centers include, but are not limited to the following activities and services: • Small parks • Civic uses, such as places of worship, libraries, and community centers • Public facilities, such as schools • Service businesses, such as smaller offices • Residential mix 2.2.4 Residential Residential districts within the MUD area are eomprised of identifiable and diverse neighborhoods, while seta g+$ a w~ tr o ng aik x estyle of residents ins °the , area. The county encourages comprehensive and coordinated neighborhood design efforts in developments, especially with regard to circulation provisions, conservation of natural features, and relationship to established neighborhood centers. The county also encourages diversity of housing types, including owner -occupied and rental housing, which serve all economic segments of the population and match local cohesive, Mixed Use Development Plan Page 15 3-4 Land designated as having Limiting Site Factors on the Structural Land Use Map 2.1, are primarily defined by the 100 -year floodplain (as defined by FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps) which comprises approximately 4,500 acres, or 38% of the total designated area in the MUD area. Sites shown with limiting factors also incorporate other important natural features as well, including wildlife habitat, mature riparian areas, primary drainageways and sand and gravel resources. Therefore additional land containing Limiting Site Factors is shown along irrigation canals, ditches and adjacent to lakes. To the maximum extent practical development within areas having Limiting Site Factors shall be located to preserve the natural features of the site, to avoid areas of environmental sensitivity, and to minimize negative impacts and alteration of natural features. 2.3 Common Open Space Regulations All Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) within the MUD area shall preserve a portion of the site as common open space. "Common Open Space" is defined as any usable parcel of land or water essentially unimproved and set aside, dedicated, designated or reserved for public or private use or enjoyment or for the use and enjoyment of owners or occupants of land adjoining or neighboring such an area. Common Open Space includes landscape areas that are not occupied by buildings or uses such as storage or services areas, private courtyards, parking lots and islands. In all PUD districts except for those containing residential uses, common open space may include landscape setbacks adjacent to roadways, where the setbacks are not utilized as parking or storage areas. Common Open Space is not to be included in the calculation of the maximum coverage per lot. The minimum percentages of land in each development devoted to Common Open Space are listed in Table 2.2. Department of Planning Services' staff reserves the ability to ,evaluate, development design;proposals'with less: Common Open Space than listed. in Table, 2.2.Staff :will ;determine if the, proposed! CO on Open Space meets the intent of therequirements of this Ordinance, Common Open Space shall be delineated in the sketch plan phase of the PUD process. In areas preserved as Common Open Space, a detailed description of the type(s) of grass and landscaping which will be utilized and the maintenance schedule for such landscaping shall be submitted to the Department of Planning Services.

Mixed Use Development Plan Page 18 2.6.3 Landscaping Requirements for Parking Lots 1. At least ten (10) percent of the area of a parking lot must be landscaped if the lot contains 10 or more spaces. The requirement may be counted toward the maximum lot coverage requirement of each zone district. At least seventy five (75) percent of the required landscape area shall include living plant material. 2. Berming and shrub or tree planting shall be used to screen parking lots from view of the roadway. Berms can vary in height depending on location and proximity of existing trees. Berms shall have smooth transitions from the top of the curb to the setback line so as to not create snow traps, with allowances made for placement of the sidewalk. Grading of berms shall not be lumpy or abrupt. (See Figure 2.3) Figure 2.3 Berming and Screening Parking 3. Landscaping techniques shall be used to alleviate the harsh visual appearance that accompanies parking lots. (See Figure 2.4) At least 75 percent of the length of the frontage of the parking lot must be effectively screened. 4. A minimum of 5 percent of the parking area shall be landscaped exclusive of setback areas. Trees planted in parking areas should be either in bays or planting islands of at least 5 feet by 5 feet. Trees should be distributed throughout the parking area, however, they shall be :placed, so: that !they tin not:,obsttiu ct visibility for .cars and pedestrians. (See Figure 432.5).

A sign shall not be altered structurally or moved unless it is made to comply with the provisions of these regulations. The changing of the movable parts of an existing sign that is designed for such changes, or the repainting or reposting of display matter shall not be deemed a structural alteration. 2. The lawful use of a sign existing on the effective date of these regulations, although such sign does not conform to the provisions hereof, may continue; but if such nonconforming use is discontinued for a period of six (6) months or more, such sign shall not be used until it has been made to conform with the provisions of these regulations. 3. Any sign which has been damaged by fire, wind, explosion, or act of God to the extent that fifty (50) percent or more of the construction value or replacement cost of the sign before it was damaged shall be deemed to have been totally destroyed and the sign shall not be restored except in conformity with these regulations. Any sign which has been damaged to an extent less than fifty (50) percent of the construction value or replacement cost of the sign before it was damaged may be restored to the condition which it existed previously as a nonconforming use prior to its damage.

Included is information regarding schools, law enforcement, fire protection and other community - based services. All services are provided by county agencies and districts. Currently, most facilities providing services are located outside the MUD area. Existing facilities are shown on Map 1.1, MUD Planning Boundaries. 3.2.2.1 Schools The MUD area is serviced by the St. Vrain Valley School District. Students living within the boundaries attend schools in Longmont, Frederick, and Mead. The majority of elementary and middle school students attend schools in the City of Mead. Most high school students attend Skyline High School in Longmont. The following table summarizes existing building capacities and projected enrollments based on school district trends.

The others currently exceed capacity or are expected to exceed capacity within the next few years. The most immediate need for additional school facilities is at the elementary level. There are no plans in place for new construction or expansion of existing schools serving the MUD area. School construction would require a future bond issue. Therefore, residential development Mixed Use Development Plan Page 53 Historic Sites Onc Two historic site-iss are currently known to exist within the MUD area. The One site is on private land and is noted with a historic marker, which identifies "Fort Junction," built in 1864 by pioneers of the Boulder Creek and St. Vrain Creek Valleys. This was a sod enclosure garrisoned by home guards as protection against hostile Indians. It stood about 200 feet east of the current east frontage road paralleling I-25, and about one quarter mile north of SH 119.

I-25 provides convenient access to these cities and gives the MUD area a strategic location for providing retail goods and services to increasing traffic volumes along the interstate. The MUD area occupies a strategic location for commuters. The area, surrounded by larger cities, is approximately 5 miles from the urbanized areas of Longmont, 15 miles from Loveland, 15 miles from Boulder, 30 miles from Greeley, and 25 miles from Fort Collins to the north and Mixed Use Development Plan Page 73 Total new trips anticipated will be 275,000, of which 100,000 will remain internal to the MUD area and 175,000 will travel externally. Based on the regional distribution of residential and non- residential developments, it is estimated that fifty percent (50%) will travel to/from the Denver area, fifteen percent (15%) to/from the north on I-25, ten percent (10%) to Longmont, twenty percent to/from the Boulder area, and the remaining five percent (5%) to/from the east. This regional distribution is presented in Figure 3.3. 3.4.3.1 Proposed Circulation System Transportation planning traditionally examines the relatively short-term twenty to twenty-five year build -out. Based on market potential, the build -out of the MUD area will occur significantly later than the traditional planning horizon. Without a long-term vision of how an area develops, the circulation system can be undersized and congestion will result. Therefore, the proposed circulation system was developed to accommodate build -out of the MUD area land use plan, yet be flexible enough to respond to short-term market demands. Critical to this long- term vision is to preserve the right-of-way to accommodate the future circulation system in the event that the improvements are necessary. Arterial Circulation System The foundation of the circulation system within the MUD area will be SH 119. Although this highway will be significantly improved with the proposed revisions to the I-25/SH 119 interchange, this interchange could possibly fail with build -out of the MUD area. Therefore, it is recommended that land be preserved at WCR 20 and 1-25 to accommodate a future interchange with I-25. In emerging development areas along highways, development traditionally occurs along the frontage road system. These frontage road systems typically fail because of the short distances between the frontage road and the freeway. Problems already exist at frontage road intersections on SH 119 east of I-25. With the widening of I-25 to the east and the proposed I-25/SH 119 interchange improvements, the eastern frontage road will be severely constrained to a maximum of two lanes which will ultimately experience traffic that will exceed its capacity. The proposed ultimate frontage road system will be to shift the eastern frontage road approximately one-half mile to the east and the western frontage road approximately one-third mile to the west. The right-of-way will be preserved to accommodate a higher -capacity four -lane facility with left turn lanes. These new facilities will become entries to employment areas. Portions of the current frontage road system can be retained as access to existing and future development, however, these facilities would be looped back to the north/south employment center roads. Turner Boulevard and the west I-25 frontage road presently terminate just south of SH 119. To improve local traffic circulation, the existing western frontage road should be extended to the south to tie into the future employment area local circulation network. Turner Boulevardshould+:be extended south, into the future employment area and connect. to the proposed, north/5puth four -lane arterial that wi11 be roosted 40 the west Mixed Use Development Plan Page 89 EXHIBIT - VIDEO TAPE ORD #191 - MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (MUD) 962434 ORD191 Hello
