be recommended favorably to the Board of County Commissioners.
During the last several months the Department of Planning Services staff has been reevaluating the I-25 MUD area.
As part of this effort, several public meetings were conducted with citizens in the area to address problems and concerns.
Based upon these finding and adherence with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan, staff recognizes the need to
enhance several of the existing land use standards and regulations. The Department of Planning Services staff
recommends that CompAmend cases 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 be included into the 1-25 Mixed Use Development Area when
an acceptance and finalization of all proposed transportation and land use design standards have been incorporated into
the Weld County Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances.

RESOLUTION, COMPAMEND 6-1994
Gary Tuttle/Tuttle Applegate, Inc.
Page 2
The Board of County Commissioners shall consider the Planning Commission's recommendation, the proposed
amendment, the Department of Planning Service's recommendation, and any public testimony and determine whether:
1. The existing Comprehensive Plan is in need of revision as proposed;
In the winter of 1994 the County Commissioners decided to undertake the project of updating the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan. At the onset of the revision to the Plan there was no indication that the 1-25
Conceptional Land Use Map was in specific need of revision, therefore it was considered along with the rest
of the contextual portions of the Plan. However, after meeting with area residents and considering the amount
of growth being experienced in the area it was determined that the present conceptional plan does not address
current and projected growth trends, and nor does it provide adequate land use andtransportation standards
designed to manage this growth.
2. The proposed amendment will be consistent with existing and future goals, policies, and needs of the County;
and
Goal 1. To plan and to manage growth within the 1-25 mixed use development area and activity centers so as to balance
relevant fiscal, environmental, aesthetic, and economic components of the area.
The current policy statements and regulations concerning the 1-25 MUD require environmentally and
aesthetically pleasing designs. All development in the MUD area is required to address and pay its
proportionate share of the impacts created in the community. While the policy statements are represented in
the existing Comprehensive Plan some of the specific regulations needed to carry out these policies are absent
from the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances.
Goal 2. To assure a well -integrated, balanced transportation system which meets the public need.
The major thoroughfares within this area are either federal or state systems. However, there is an increasing
concern about the present congestion on these systems. With the addition of more people to this area Weld
County roads will be required to handle more and more of the transportation in the area.
The present Weld County road system is based upon a rural demand, however the build out of this area will
require that the local road system be enhanced to an urban level. In order to create this enhancement more
stringent design standards will need to be incorporated into the Weld County Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances.
These standards are likely to included but are not limited to the following examples:
a. Increase in the ROW designation requirements
b. Limit the number of accesses onto all existing Weld County Roads
c. Require 1/4 mile road connections
d. Increase utility easements (widths)
e. Designate all existing Weld County roadsas arterials
Goal 3. To provide efficient and cost-effective delivery of adequate public facilities and services which assure the
health, safety, and general welfare of the present and future residents of Weld County.
The current population size of the area makes providing private recreational facilities somewhat difficult at
this time, however with the increase in residential development the population base willmakeproviding these
facilities plausible. Additionally, there are two recreational facilities Barbour Ponds and Weld County
Regional park both located in the MUD designed to address the outdoor recreational needs of the area. While
the area is within the St Vrain school district, the school district, up to this point has not requested in lieu fees
for development, -however the likelihood that this philosophy will continue into the future is slight. There is
one school site location, State Land Board, adjacent to this area at the intersection of WCR 28 and WCR 13
which may be available for future growth expansion.
RESOLUTION, COMPAMEND 1-1994
Gary Tuttle/Tuttle Applegate, Inc.
Page 3
All of the proposal can be served by a public sanitation sewer system and will be required to do so in the
future. Public water is available to the proposed area and future development will be required to connect to
these systems. Fire protection in the area is provided by Mountain View Fire District, and they have evaluated
these proposals and have no objections.
All future development in this area will be required through the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and
Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances to address and provide for the social and cultural needs for the proportionate
-share of the population increase created by development.
Goal 4. To maintain and improve the existing natural state of the environmental resources
The addition of the proposed applications into the MUD area will not adversely influence the existing natural
environmental resources in the area. In fact, the proposed area will be required through changes to the Weld
County Comprehensive Plan and Weld County Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances to adhere to an expanded
level of environmental standards.
Goal 5. To promote governmental cooperation in order to avoid duplication of services and to provide economies of
scale.
The area, in general, is growing at an accelerated rate, therefore the additional population base will
encourage a further expansion of the economies of scale of services. Up to this point, the majority of
development in this area has been industrial or commercial which traditionally is the impetuous for residential
development There are currently several water districts in this area, and one fire district in the area with
another district substations nearby. Theadditionof these proposal to the MUD area will not change the
present impact of these services.
Goal 6. To assure that new development occurs in such a manner as to maintain an attractive working and living
environment.
In order to ensure an attractive working and living environment necessary to meet the future demands in this
area Weld County staff has been evaluating the components necessary to provide this environ. Many of the
requirements are already in place, however several land use and transportation standards are still needed to
support this high quality -working and living environment
Any addition to the MUD area will be required to adequately satisfy all goals and regulations designed to
ensure that an attractive and compatible working/living environment exists along the 1-25-- 119 corridor.
3. The proposed amendment will place a burden upon existing or planned service capabilities.
The proposed additions to the MUD can be adequately serviced by public water and sewer facilities. Any additional
transportation impacts created in the area will be the responsibility of those who create the need for the increase in
service.

Staff recommendation to the Planning Commission
for changes to the MUD area
of the Comprehensive Plan
The parcel is 450 acres in size and is located east of WCR 1, north of WCR 20 and 1/2, and
south of the railroad grade. The general description of the property is as follows:
T2N, R68W,6th P.M.
SE/4 south of the railroad grade of Section 7
NW/4 and the NE/4 of Section 18
NW/4 south of the railroad grade of Section 17
During the last several months the Department of Planning Services staff has been reevaluating
the I-25 MUD area. As part of this effort, several public meetings were conducted with citizens
in the area to address problems and concerns. Based upon these finding and adherence with the
Weld County Comprehensive Plan, staff recognizes the need to enhance several of the existing
land use standards and regulations. The Department of Planning Services staff recommends that
Comp Amend 6-1994 be included into the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area when an
acceptance and finalization of all proposed transportation and land use design standards have
been incorporated into the Weld County Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances.

The Planning Commission shall consider the proposed amendment, the Department of
Planning Service's recommendation, and any public testimony and determine whether:
1. the existing Comprehensive Plan is in need of revision as proposed;
In the winter of 1994 the County Commissioners decided to undertake the project of
updating the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. At the onset of the revision to the Plan
there was no indication that the 1-25 Conceptional Land Use Map was in .specific need of
revision, therefore it was considered along with the rest of the contextual portions of the
Plan. However, after meeting with area residents and considering the amount of growth
being experienced in the area it was determined that the present conceptional plan does
not address current and projected growth trends, and nor does it provide adequate land
use and transportation standards designed to manage this growth.
2. the proposed amendment will be consistent with existing and future goals, policies,
and needs of the County; and
Goal 1. To plan and to manage growth within the I-25 mixed use development area and
activity centers so as to balance relevant fiscal, environmental, aesthetic, and
economic components of the area.
The current policy statements and regulations concerning the 1-25 MUD require
environmentally and aesthetically pleasing designs. All development in the MUD area is
required to address and pay its proportionate share of the impacts created in the
community. While the policy statements are represented in the existing Comprehensive
Plan some of the specific regulations needed to carry out these policies are absent from
the Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances.
Goal 2. To assure a well -integrated, balanced transportation system which meets the
public need.
2
The major thoroughfares within this area are either federal or state systems. However,
there is an increasing concern about the present congestion on these systems. With the
addition of more people to this area Weld County roads will be required to handle more
and more of the transportation in the area.
The present Weld County road system is based upon a rural demancL however the build
out of this area will require that the local road system be enhanced to an urban level. In
order to create this enhancement more strigent design standards will need to be
incorporated into the Weld County Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances. These standards
are likely to included but are not limited to the following examples:
a. Increase the ROW designation requirements
b. Limit the number of access onto all County Roads
c. Require 1/4 mile road connections
d. Increase utility easements (width)
e. Designate existing County roads as arterials
Goal 3. To provide efficient and cost-effective delivery of adequate public facilities and
services which assure the health, safety, and general welfare of the present and
future residents of Weld County.
The current population size of the area makes providing private recreational facilities
somewhat difficult at this time, however with the increase in residential development the
population base will make providing these facilities plausible. Additionally, there are
two recreational facilities Barbour Ponds and Weld County Regional park both located
in the MUD designed to address the outdoor recreational needs of the area. While the
area is within the St Vrain school district, the school district, up to this point has not
requested in lieu fees for development, however the likelihood that this philosophy will
continue into the future is slight. There is one school site location, State Land Board,
adjacent to this area at the intersection of WCR 28 and WCR 13 which may be available
for future growth expansion.
All of the proposal can he served by a public sanitation sewer system and will be
required to do so in the future. Public water is available to the proposed area and future
development will be required to connect to these systems. Fire protection in the area is
provided by Mountain View Fire District, and they have evaluated these proposals and
have no objections.
All future development in this area will be required through the Weld County
Comprehensive Plan and Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances to address and provide for the
social and cultural needs for the proportionate share of the population increase created
by development.
3
page 4 of 4
Goal 4. To maintain and improve the existing natural state of the environmental resources
The addition of the proposed applications into the MUD area will not adversely influence
the existing natural environmental resources in the area. In fact, the proposed area will
be required through changes to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan and Weld County
Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances to adhere to an expanded level of environmental
standards.
Goal 5. To promote governmental cooperation in order to avoid duplication of services
and to provide economies of scale.
The area, in general, is growing at an accelerated rate, therefore the additional
population base will encourage a further expansion of the economies of scale of services.
Up to this point, the majority of development in this area has been industrial or
commercial which traditionally is the impetuous for residential development. There are
currently several water districts in this area, and one fire district in the area with
another district substations nearby. The addition of these proposal to the MUD area will
not change the present impact of these services.
Goal 6. To assure that new development occurs in such a manner as to maintain an
attractive working and living environment.
In order to ensure an attractive working and living environment necessary to meet the
future demands in this area Weld County staff has been evaluating the components
necessary to provide this environ. Many of the requirements are already in place,
however several land use and transportation standards are still needed to support this
high quality working and living environment.
Any addition to the MUD area will be required to adequately satisfy all goals and
regulations designed to ensure that an attractive and compatible working/living
environment exists along the I-25-- 119 corridor.
3. the proposed amendment will place a burden upon existing or planned service
capabilities.
The proposed additions to the MUD can be adequately serviced by public water and sewer
facilities. Any additional transportation impacts created in the area will be the responsibility of
those who create the need for the increase in service.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE WELD COUNTY
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
INTRODUCTION
This proposal wishes to amend the Weld County Comprehensive Plan by adding area to the I-25
Mixed Use Development (MUD) area. The parcel is 450 acres in size and is located east of WCR
1, north of WCR 20 and 1/2, and south of the railroad grade. The general legal description of the
property is as follows:
T2N, R68W, 6th P.M
SE/4 south of the railroad grade of Section 7
NW/4 and the NE/4 of Section 18
NW/4 south of the railroad grade of Section 17
The property is owned by Donald Sherwood and is_presently used for grazing and crops. The
northern 120 acres is permitted for mining by the County and the State and will be mined by C &
M Companies. As the mining is completed, the owner wishes to develop a low density residential
community with lakes, open space, and golfing.
Currently, an advisory committee is working on reviewing and updating the Comprehensive Plan.
From information from adjoining landowners who have requested to be included in the MUD
Area, we understand the committee has declined to take any action. The committee did not wish
to entertain requests from individual property owners.
Therefore, we now believe it is appropriate to formally propose an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan. This amendment is submitted in conjunction with other nearby landowners.
Through their consultants, the landowners have coordinated the planning effort in terms of the
road network and compatible land uses.
STATEMENTS
(1) The Comprehensive Plan is in need of revision.
The I-25 MUD area is now seven years old. This area plan was originally conceived as a
joint effort between the landowners and the newly formed Sanitation District. Since its
inception, the Front Range has gone through a major economic cycle and is now
experiencing expanded growth. Therefore, it makes sense to take a look at this area
again. Thereareinterested landowners close to the Area who were not included in the
MUD area previously.
This land can be served by the Saint Vrain Sanitation District. The proximity of these
properties to 1-25 and the urbanizing forces of the MUD area and Longmont play a major
roll in long range planning.
Page 1
Aggregate mining continues to be a major land use in the area and mining has proceeded
faster than anticipated. The recent mining permit granted on this land requires a long
range look at how the land will change. The shipping of aggregate into and through the
MUD Area also makes it logical to include the mines and the reclaimed land in the
planning area.
The remainder of the land to the south is bordered by two County roads and is logically
part of any road system within this area.
(2) . This proposed amendment is consistent with the existing and future goals, policies,
and needs of Weld County.
I-25 MUD Area Goals and Policies
This amendment to the Comprehensive Plan will recognize mining as an existing land use
on these lands adjacent to the MUD area. Thus the mineral in the land can be preserved
for extraction with the open space designation. Low density residential is a logical and
desirable use around the reclaimed lakes, which will provide generous open space.
Public facilities and services are available in this area similar to the existing MUD Area.
The plan amendment will create an attractive living environment. Also the proposal
insures the preservation of the St. Vain Creek floodplain area. Landowners will work
with Longmont or any other open space agency on the creation of trails and parks.
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) process is well suited for our type of proposal
incorporating housing, recreation, and open space. Low density residential is compatible
with the surrounding land uses of open space and agriculture.
(3)
The amendment will not place a burden upon existing or planned service
capabilities.
a. Roads
Through the existing road improvement agreements with aggregate companies,
roads are being improved and maintained in this area. These same roads will be
available for later residential type uses. Any additional roads or expansion to
existing roads will be built and payed for by developers. The planned development
of this area will control access onto County roads and the low density residential is
compatible with the County road system here.
Sewer
Sewage collection and treatment will be provided by the St. Vrain Sanitation
District, who is willing to serve the area. A development such as this will improve
the financial base of the District and allow them to operate in a more efficient
manner.
Page 2

c. Water
Water distribution will be provided by the Left Hand Water Company who is
willing to serve this area. The company has other customers in the area and the
developer will pay for any waterline extensions.
d. Fire Protection
The Mountain View Fire Protection District serves this area. They have a
firehouse on Weld County Road I which is several minutes away from this
property.
e. Police
Police protection will be provided by the Weld County Sheriff Department.
f Schools
St. Vain Valley School District provides education in this area and has schools
located in Mead and the Tri-Towns. As the area grows, the District may decide to
also build schools in the MUD Area.
g. Health
Health services and emergency medical services can be provided by Longmont
United Hospital.
h. Parks and Open Space
Generous open space is provided in this development for the benefit of all residents
in the MUD Area.
As owner of this property, I request that the Board of County o issioners of W County
approve this proposal. A✓hie ,��� ,

RE: CASE NUMBERS: COMPAMEND 1-1994, 2-1994, 3-1994, 4-1994, 5-1994, 6-1994
`, DEC 1994 f
Dear Monica:
Thank you very much for sending the six proposed comprehensive plan amendments to the I-25
Mixed Use Development Area to the City of Longmont for our review and comment. The City
will comment on these applications as a group since many of our comments relate to more than
one application. Also, the applications indicate that "through their consultants, the landowners
have coordinated the planning effort in terms of the road network and compatible land uses."
These six applications will add 1,453 acres± to the approximately 7,000 acre I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area. They expand this area to the south and west. The proposed expansion goes
west to County Line Road south of the St. Vrain River and goes west to the City limits north of
SH119 (See attached map). The proposed land uses are Low Density Residential, Medium
Density Residential, and Open Space. The applications do not provide a breakdown of the
proposed acreage by land use category.
The applications indicate that the Weld County Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee did
discuss these proposed expansions "...but declined to take any action because the committee did
not wish to entertain requests from individual property owners." The City of Longmont concurs
with the action of the Weld County Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee. We do not
believe that the applications have demonstrated they comply with Weld County's criteria for
amending the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. Particularly, the City does not believe they
have demonstrated that the amendments "will not place a burden upon existing or planned service
capabilities." Consequently, the City of Longmont requests that Weld County deny these
applications. You will note that many of the City's comments on these applications follow
closely to our comments on the Weld County Comprehensive Plan update itself.
Buffers
The City of Longmont is very interested in preserving a buffer of agriculturally zoned property
between Longmont and the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. This buffer would provide for
the physical separation between the City and the urban development within unincorporated Weld
County. Consequently, the City of Longmont previously commented that we would not want to
see this area enlarged: particularly along the SH119 corridor. The City prefers that Weld County
reduce the size of the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. The proposed expansion to the I-25
Mixed Use Development Area abuts the existing City limits north of SH119. There would be
no buffer.
Again the City of Longmont requests that Weld County consider actually reducing the size of
the adopted I-25 Mixed Use Development Area to east of the St. Vrain River and Boulder Creek
confluence (while honoring existing development approvals) rather than expanding it further to
the west.
Self-sustaining community
Longmont would like to see the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area develop as a self-sustaining
community with a balance of residential, commercial, office, and industrial land uses and with
the ability to provide a full range of urban services to future residents. Having the I-25 Mixed
Use Development Area be a self-sustaining community would reduce the impact development
in this area may have on other communities' facilities. Longmont is concerned that if the I-25
Development Area develops without a full range of urban services that Longmont's facilities will
be burdened.
Previously we shared with you some rough estimates of population (28,330) that Weld County
may see if the adopted I-25 Mixed Use Development Area builds out. We also shared with you
some of the transportation impacts that we see occurring. The buildout of the adopted area will
create a separate urban community. Yet the adopted I-25 Mixed Use Development Area does
not locate basic public facilities such as collector streets, schools, or parks. The proposed
amendments do not locate these facilities either.
Without planning an arterial and collector street system to serve the I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area, Weld County will not be in a position to ensure that developers make the
necessary street dedications, connections, and improvements so that the planned transportation
system will be able to accommodate the planned land use.
The applications state that the St. Vrain Valley School District provides education in this area
and has schools located in Mead and the Tri-Towns. As the area grows, the District may decide
to also build schools in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. The existing schools in Mead
and the Tri-towns will not be able to accommodate the students that the adopted I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area will generate. There will need to be school sites within this area to handle
these students. Therefore, it is important to plan and locate school sites (elementary, middle, and
2
2:
high) to serve the adopted I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. The proposed expansion only will
increase this burden.
There is considerable Open Space designated within the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area.
However, there are no designated parks for more active recreation: parks that will provide
lighted ball fields for example. Residents of urban areas expect facilities for more active
recreation such as league softball. Longmont plans its parks facilities to handle the buildout of
the Longmont Planning Area. We have not planned our parks facilities to accommodate the
estimated 28,330 people who will live in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. Again, the
proposed amendments will add to this burden.
Many communities (including Longmont) attempt to co -locate elementary schools and
neighborhood parks on collector streets. Many communities also try to locate high schools and
community parks (parks with lighted ballfields capable of handling league sports) on arterials and
at the edge of residential neighborhoods rather than in the middle of residential neighborhoods.
Without planning and locating school and park sites within the I-25 Mixed Use Development
Area, Weld County will not be in a position to ensure that developers make the necessary
dedications or payments -in -lieu so that the planned school and park sites are located to serve the
planned land use.
Other Services
It is important to analyze the impacts that the buildout of the adopted I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area may have on the type and demand for other services. For example, fire
fighting equipment and techniques for urban development can be different than those for rural
development. The Mountain View Fire Protection District serves this area. It is important to
determine what changes it may need to make to its operations, its need for additional and/or
different equipment (both fire and EMS), and its need for additional fire stations to serve an
urban community: particularly an urban community where response times from existing facilities
will be quite different than what they may be today.
A similar evaluation may be useful for Weld County to undertake for the services it directly
provides. For example public safety and general governmental services. It may be that the urban
densities within the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area will require a different level of service
than the Weld County Sheriff provides for the more rural areas of Weld County. With an
estimated population of 28,330, it's quite possible that Weld County will need to establish a
satellite office facility to provide better service to the residents of the I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area. The applications do not discuss these burdens either.
Special Districts
It does not appear that all the areas of proposed expansion are located within the St. Vrain
Sanitation District and the Left Hand Water District. The City believes it is in appropriate to
3
expand the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area (with planned urban densities) to include
properties not currently within both these districts. Such action just promotes urban sprawl.
Scenic Entry Corridors
The City of Longmont has designated a scenic entrance corridor along SH119 into the City.
Components of these corridors include increased setbacks, access control, landscaping, signage,
lighting, screening, and fencing. Developing and maintaining an improved visual image along
a major transportation corridor for both the City and the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area is
a benefit to both. Several of the proposed applications include frontage along SH119 and do not
incorporate these scenic entrance corridors.
Primary Greenways/Trails
The City of Longmont is developing a primary greenway trail and park system along the St.
Vrain for the enjoyment of area residents. In our comments to Weld County as part of the Weld
County Comprehensive Plan update, the City supported the open space designation along St.
Vrain Creek and Boulder Creek so that there can be extensions of the open space planning of
both our jurisdictions. Coordinated planning can ensure consistency in terms of trail alignment,
public access, and corridor facilities such as parking and other trailhead facilities. The City of
Longmont's planning for the St. Vrain Greenway indicates that the main trail will be on the south
side of the St. Vrain west of WCR1.
The City of Longmont also has designated Spring Gulch as a primary greenway. We request that
Weld County continue this designation within unincorporated Weld County. A primary greenway
along Spring Gulch can provide an important link between the St. Vrain River and Union
Reservoir Recreation Area.
The draft Longmont Area Comprehensive Plan does include a strategy to "explore the use of
abandoned railroad rights -of -way for opportunities to serve alterative modes of transportation."
The abandoned railroad right-of-way that goes between Boulder Creek and the St. Vrain also
could provide an important link between these two trails. The City of Longmont respectfully
suggests that Weld County evaluate having a trail along this abandoned right-of-way as well.
Union Reservoir
Previously, the City has requested that Weld County ensure that any development planned near
Union Reservoir be compatible with the recreation facilities the City is developing there: taking
into consideration public access and buffering between development and the recreational facilities
near the reservoir. One of the proposed expansions includes 143 acres of Medium Density
Residential just east of McLane/Western and south of Union Reservoir. The City reiterates this
concern. The City also is concerned about the location of this proposed expansion to the dam's
breach flood area. The applications provide no information on these items.
4
In conclusion, the City requests that Weld County deny the proposed requests for expansion of
the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. This expansion eliminates any buffer between the City
of Longmont and urban development within unincorporated Weld County: a critical concern to
the City. The applications also have not demonstrated that they will not place an additional
burden upon existing or planned service capabilities (including services that the City of
Longmont provides): one of the three review criteria for approving a comprehensive plan
amendment.
If you have any questions about this referral response, please call Brien Schumacher at 651-8330.
Thank you again for the opportunity to comment on these applications.

RE: Comprehensive Amendments 1 thru 6 1994
Monica:
The Town of Frederick has reviewed the six proposed amendments to
the Weld County Comprehensive Plan for the I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area. We are opposed to the approval of these
amendments at this time for the following reasons:
1. None of the governmental agencies responsible for
providing infrastructure and services are in any position to
serve these areas adequately.
2. The Weld County Comprehensive Plan is now being reviewed
and much of the discussion has been on reducing the size of
the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area not increasing its size.
The Town of Frederick feels that the area from County Road 7
to County Road 1 should remain undeveloped either as open
space or retained as agricultural land. It is imperative that
a buffer zone be established between the Del Camino Area and
the City of Longmont and that the St. Vrain River be preserved
as open space.
3. Most of the land already designated in the I-25 Mixed Use
Area has not been developed. There is absolutely no need to
expand the area. There is nothing unique about the proposed
amendments that is not already designated in other areas that
make more sense to develop.
4. The Division of Local Governments has suggested that a
regional conference of the governmental entities in this area
be convened in 1995 to discuss regional planning along the I-
25 Corridor. The Town of Frederick believes that this process
should be given a chance to occur.

Dear Monica:
. 4v Planning
We have reviewed the package of six proposed amendments to
the I-25 Mixed Use Conceptional Plan. The comments offered are
general in nature, and should he applied to all proposals.
ACCESS and TRAFFIC IMPACTS Due to the size of the parcels and
their ultimate development, we recommend careful review of
the infrastructure - most importantly to the Department, the
impacts of traffic upon the state highway system and
accesses to it. Traffic studies should be required as
appropriate, and provided for our review during the standard
County referral process. An overall study may be desirable,
since the parcels arewithina 3+ mile radius.
Since all access to the SH 119 is governed by the State
Highway Access Code (SHACode), it is vital that all
proposals for access be planned in accordance with the Code.
That includes new private and public direct access and
existing access by way of the public street system. Access
permits will be required for any improvements or additional
access, and should be obtained from this office.
Section 2.10.4 of the SHACode states: Vehicular use and
operation of public accesses (county roads and muinicipal
streets) to the state highway is the responsibility of the
appropirate local authority. The local authority should
maintain access conformance with the code to the extent
feasible and practicable within statutory and public funding
limitiations. The local authority may fund any necessary
improvements by requiring contributions from the primary
users of the access or as off -site subdivision improvements
necessary for the public safety pursuant to section 30 -28-
133 -and 133.1, C.R.S. and section 31-23-201 to 227, C.R.S.,
Ms. Monica Daniels -Mika
January 4, 1995
Page 2
Amendments to I-25 Conceptional Plan
or other available public funds.
ROW Access to SH 119 is controlled by deed. Changes of openings
and oftentimes the use of those openings requires
authorization by the ROW unit. The review process must be
initiated through Mr. Bob Grube, ROW Supervisor. He can be
contacted at (303) 350-2152 for a description of that
requirement.
In your County process please be reminded that Section 2.9.3
of the SHACode requires that all highway access improvements
including pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drainage
structures, ditches, and auxiliary lanes, shall be on public
right-of-way. Property required for highway access
improvements shall be dedicated without cost to the
Department. ROW corner clearance and clear zone issues
should receive close consideration.
DRAINAGE The highway drainage system is for the protection of
the state highway ROW and is not intended to accommodate
drainage from abutting properties or from development in the
area of the highway beyond that which has historically been
accepted. Therefore, on -site detention of surface run-off
should be provided so that the historical rate will not be
exceeded.
NOISE The potentially negative impact of highway traffic noise
should be considered, especially for residential
developments. Upon development referral review, the
Department will provide a minimum noise setback. In
addition, the Department recommends that insulation of the
walls and double glazing of the windows exposed to the
highway be required. If appropriate measures are not taken
to mitigate traffic noise impacts, the property may not
qualify for a state -funded noise abatement project, if funds
for such a project at his location were to become available.
Our comments are based upon the submittals as received
December 2, 1994. You stated today that the proposals have been
continued until March. Due to the general nature of my comments,
I believe these remarks should remain valid.
Thank you for the opportunity to review the package of
proposed amendments to the I-25 Mixed Use Conceptional Plan.

RE: Donald Sherwood— I-25 Mixed Use Conceptional Plan - CompAmend 1994-6.
Dear Monica:
I have reviewed the requested "Comprehensive Plan Amendment" for Donald Sherwood referred
to the Town of Mead. This "low density residential" site is outside of the Town's current
comprehensive plan area. Therefore we do not expect a direct impact of the propsed change
upon the Town.
Altough there does not appear to be a direct conflict with our interest, I am concerned that the
development is outside of an incorporated municipality. I believe that development within the I-25
Mixed Use Development Area is more appropriate within a municipality than as a collection of
county subdivisions. Wheither this should be a new municipality, or incorporated in an existing
municipality, such as Longmont, Mead or Fredrick is not that important. The important
consideration is the provision of services (utilities, law enforcement, streets, planning) at the local
level, instead of at the county level. Low density residential would appear to be a.logical use of
the property if it were incorporated in a municipality.
It is for this reason that I cannot support the proposed change. Thank you for the opportunity to
comment on the proposal. If there are any questions, I may be contacted at (303) 532-3248

Re: Amenn in the Weld County Cal¢rehensive Plan
Dear Monica:
This District has reviewed referenced amendments and recaimends their
approval. AI1.ezidments No. 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 areas can best be served (i.e.
without a lift station) by a line extension off the existing 15 -inch trunk
line along Colorado Highway 119 west of St. Vrain Creek. This iline has 3
ample capacity to serve the proposed level of development.
area would be served by the existing 12 -inch trunk line along Colorado
Highway 119 west of Weld County Road 3-1/2. This line also has more than
ample capacity to serve the proposed development.
These proposed developments would benefit this District by providing
connection and operating revenues to reduce its debt, and thereby decrease
property tax, and increase efficiency. This would be beneficial to the
entire area.
These proposed amendments would also greatly benefit the I-25 Mixed Use
Development Area. For the most part, they provide for natural terrain
�e
boundaries to the Area, rather than County roads with development on
side and a farm on the other. They also put the mined area along St. Vrain
tewk and uponreek to ts best use. mining and This
terarea requires continuing
requxired reclamation. To
stewardship ohuP pests, and
do otherwise is to invite illegal dumping, noxious weeds, p
general nuisance.
Lastly, this District wishes to commend Weld County on its 1-25 Mixed Use
Development Area. Prior to its adoption, the area growth was unplanned and
chaotic. When future development pressures were perceived aco
rrectly major
1-25 interchanges, area residents and Weld County .Goverr m and subject to con-
cluded that future growth most be comprehensively planned

Planning Commission, Weld County

Dear Commissioners and Ms. Daniels -Mika;
I am writing this letter on the request of the Conservation Committee of the Indian
Peaks Group of the Sierra Club. The Indian Peaks Group is composed of 3,700
members. Our members reside in Boulder County and western Weld County.
The Conservation Committee has followed with interest your efforts to update the Weld
County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. As a part of that effort we understand you will
in the near future take action to approve or disapprove numerous proposals from
private property owners which could significantly expand the Weld County Mixed Use
Development Area. We hope that environmental and other impacts of any large scale
revision to the Weld County Comprehensive Land Use Plan will be carefully
considered.
The group of eight proposals recently received by your planning staff could add
approximately 7,000 acres to the existing 5,000 acres planned for urban development.
The environmental impact of the population increase which could ultimately follow
such an addition could be enormous.
We urge Weld County to reject this unwise land use change.
The proposals would, if approved:
1. Radically alter the growth patterns of Southwestern Weld County from one
which presently encourages growth to occur in cities and along the interstate and state
highway corridors to one which encourages urban sprawl onto productive farmland
and adjacent river, flood plain and wetland areas;
2. Threaten wildlife and increase air, stream and ground water pollution along
the Boulder and St. Vrain Creeks;
3. Infringe upon the open space envisioned in the Longmont Comprehensive
plan and thereby act at counter purpose to the strategy of separation of cities by
private and publicly owned open space areas set aside for environmental
preservation, wildlife and recreation;
4. Unwisely create a "development entitlement" on land not presently in the
path of development nor contiguous with other developed land thus exposing Weld
County to a damage suit should the County at a future date for any reason wish to
down zone the subject land;
5. Severely strain the limited and already strained infrastructures such as roads,
sewer, water, fire protection, police, schools and health services.
6. Unfairly place the burden of paying for the costs of a major new population
center upon the existing residents of adjoining cities and rural areas. A major decline
in quality of life and service levels presently experienced by Weld county residents
would be accompanied by a major increase in their cost of living.
We hope you will work with our group as you proceed with your Comprehensive Plan
update. Perhaps we can make some suggestions to better balance the envisioned
residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and transportation functions of the
present Mixed Use Development Area with the needs of conservation and the
environment
Sincerly,
