Subject: Completion of County Road grid system in the MUD area of southwest Weld
County
Ladies and gentlemen:
Some time ago I had the pleasure of addressing you regarding the above subject. The
recent Blue Heron sketch plan application points out, again, the pressing need for an
County plan for the completion of this system. Once development is permitted to interfere
with the required right of ways needed for these roads, they are gone, or at very least
obraining them through eminent domain would be an exceedingly expensive process. As
the area is urbanized the required road infrastructure will be damaged by the absence of
these important road links.
Specifically, in the case mentioned above, I refer to County Road 7-1/2 which is projected
to run from SH52 to CR24-1/2 on the I-25 MUD Structural Land Use Plan Map 2.1. The
sketch plan submitted does not provide for continuance of this road through the proposed
PUD or, for that matter, any road providing the necessary right of way width for a future
arterial.
Enclosed is a map of the area which delineates a projection of those road links necessary
to complete the functioning of grid roads as an arterial system under urban development. I
would appreciate your inspecting the map and turning it over to the proper departments
for a study to incorporate these recommendations, as amended, into a plan. The current
road impact fee project and state aid might provide the funding necessary to complete
these roads. Let me know if I might be of some assistance in such a study in formulating a
plan so necessary for providing for the future of this area.
Very truly yours,
47.
John S. Folsom
I request this letter be made part of the record of your next meeting.
PC: Monica Daniels Mika, Director, Weld County Planning Services, Weld County
Council [recommend that the Council review handling of this matter as part of its
responsibilities under section 13.8[6] of the Weld County Charter].
