COLORADO From: Monica Daniels-Mika, AICP, Director
On May 11, 1999, I met with Floyd Oliver, property owner for the Elms, and Glen Droegmueller,
representative for Mr. Oliver. The questions that we considered pertained specifically to future final
plating for case Z-513. They expressed some uniqueness associated with this case. The property
owner is, as proposed in the change of zone, going to final plat this particular piece of property into
two portions. The first phase of the plating will be for an approximate 70-acre parcel that will include
a northern portion of the proposed park and will be proposing 150 units. At the time of final plating
for that particular parcel, the applicant will also be applying for a Recorded Exemption to separate
an existing improvement from the northern 70-acre parcel. The applicant was made well aware that
the 70-acre parcel associated with the house will not be eligible for a building permit until such time
that the applicant has satisfied the Recorded Exemption process.
I discussed with the applicant some of the possibilities for future concern associated with the final
plating that being the creation of a lot that is not eligible for a building permit until a Recorded
Exemption had been approved. Let the applicant know that there are no guarantees that the
Recorded Exemption would be approved and each case would be approved on its own merit. I
additionally explained to the applicant that he would be required to meet the Conditions of Approval
as stated in the Change of Zone case. In particular, I discussed some concerns I had with the
transportation survey and did remind him that he would be required to submit additional
transportation information.
Mr. Oliver seemed to understand my concerns associated with the Conditions of Approval
concerning his final platting. We also discussed naming for road ways, and it was my understanding
that he was going to get approval as required on the Change of Zone Plat for the roadways' names.
Mr. Oliver did state that it was his understanding that he did not have to go in front of the Board of
County Commissioners in order to approve the final plating. I told him that I didn't specifically see
that in the resolution from the Board, and that I would follow up by looking at the hearing docket
to see if the Board did allocate that responsibility to the Planning Staff. I also told him that if I wasn't
able to make this determination, from the evidence presented, that I would have to ask the Board
of County Commissioners if they are willing to delegate their administrative review authority back
to planning staff to process the final plat. Additionally, I told him that I would need to double check
with Lee Morrison concerning the possibilities as to whether or not this was a substantial change
to what was previously approved; thereby, requiring a revisit by the Board of County Commissioners.
In closing, Mr. Oliver said that he thought he would get the case turned in within the next two weeks
and seemed to understand the necessity of processing the Final Plat application with the Recorded
Exemption application simultaneously or as close to it as possible. I told the applicant that I would
be dictating this memo to the file, and if he had any questions, that hopefully they would be taken
care of in the memo. It was noted that I would forward a copy of this memo to Glen Droegmueller.

Dear Mr. Oliver:
As promised, I have spoken to Lee Morrison regarding the concern for total densities approved at
the Change of Zone. Mr. Morrison and I both concur that the number of lots proposed for a filing
is based on your ability to provide the needed services; therefore, the number of 150 units, if water
is available to service these lots, would not be a substantial change to the change of zone.
However, an increase in the total overall densities beyond the 224 units would be a substantial
change to the change of zone.
I also wanted to, again, express that you are not bound by any county rule or regulation to re-design
your parcel to allow another subdivision to have access. Should you wish to proceed with this
design. I want to reiterate that increased design standards and review costs will be required. I am
not sure what type of off site improvements will be required, but I am confident that substantial
changes will result. I do recommend that you visit with CDOT about the existing access permit
onto State Highway 119. As you know, and increase in densities onto a state highway facility and
county roadways results in a review of your existing permit. Additionally, I wanted to remind you
that access is not allowed onto arterial roadways in Weld County, and this limitation needs to be
incorporated into the redesign of your parcel
If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
Sincerely, W�
