DATE: September 7, 1995
CASE NUMBER: Z-494
NAME: John T. & James T. Martin
ADDRESS: 147 South Denver Avenue, Fort Lupton, CO 80621
REQUEST: Change of Zone from A(Agricultural) to E(Estate)
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: SE4 NW4 and SW4 of Section 12, T1N, R66W of the 6th P.M.,
Weld County, CO
LOCATION: Approximately 1/2 mile south of Weld County Road 12 and approximately
1/2 mile west of Weld County Road 37
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE DENIED
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:
1. The submitted materials are not in compliance with the application
requirements of Section 21.7 of the Weld County Zoning Ordinance.
2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the
applicants have not shown compliance with Section 21.5 of the Weld County
Zoning Ordinance as follows:
AGRICULTURAL GOALS AND POLICIES
The request is not consistent with Weld County Comprehensive Plan
Agricultural Goals 1 and 4 nor is it consistent with Agricultural Policies
1 and 10.
The agricultural zone district was established to maintain, protect and
promote Weld County's agricultural industry and to provide areas for
agricultural activities and uses dependent upon agriculture without the
interference of incompatible residential, commercial and industrial land
uses. The Comprehensive Plan directs urban -type growth to occur adjacent to
existing incorporated municipalities and in accordance with the
municipalities' adopted comprehensive plan goals and policies. According
to Agricultural Policy #10, "Public facilities and services such as sewer,
water, roads, schools, and fire and police protection must be provided and
developed in a timely, orderly, and efficient manner to support the
transition of agricultural land to urban development." While this property
is located within the outer fringe of Fort Lupton's urban growth boundary,
952224
Z-494, John T. & James T. Martin
Page two
existing public services are inadequate for additional residential land
uses at this location. It is staff's opinion that the absence of public
access to the site as well as lack of a water supply by a public water
company indicates that the development of this parcel into a 52 -lot
subdivision could neither be considered timely or efficient.
URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY GOALS AND POLICIES
This proposal is not consistent with Urban Growth Boundary Goals 1 and 2
nor is it consistent with Urban Growth Boundary Policies 1 and 2.
The urban growth goals and policies are established to plan for anticipated
growth by directing residential uses and development to occur within or
adjacent to existing municipalities. Urban Growth Boundary Goal #2 seeks
to maintain land use regulations that allow Weld County and municipalities
to coordinate plans and policies relating to zoning, construction of
streets, public infrastructure, and other matters affecting the orderly
development within urban growth boundary areas. The Martin property is
located approximately 2 1/2 miles from Fort Lupton. No public sewer or
water service is provided to this area by Fort Lupton; in fact, the site is
not located within Fort Lupton's comprehensive planning area. The
applicants may argue that Weld County approved Martin Brothers' Planned
Unit Development directly east of this site some years back. To allow 52
additional residential lots at this location proliferates leap -frog
development.
RESIDENTIAL GOALS AND POLICIES
This proposal does not comply with Residential Goal 2 nor does it comply
with Residential Policies 4 and 5.
The applicants have not demonstrated that adequate public services are
available to serve the proposed subdivision. The community well system
proposed for the use was determined to meet the minimum regulatory
requirements for a public water supply during the Substantial Change
Hearing process. The Weld County Health Department has indicated that the
water must meet State requirements for drinking water standards, as a
condition in approving the subdivision. Residential Policy #4 states,
"Weld County shall encourage a compact form of urban development by
directing residential growth to...those areas where urban services are
already available before committing alternate areas to residential use."
952224
Z-494, John T. & James T. Martin
Page three
Compatibility with existing surrounding land uses is promoted by
Residential Policy #5. In staff's opinion, the proximity of Weld County
Disposal's closed facility, located no more than 1/4 mile north of the
site, and the unknown, future environmental consequences posed by this
operation, should be a consideration in granting the approval of a
residential neighborhood at this location. The health, safety and welfare
of citizens residing in the County is a responsibility of Weld officials
in planning areas for residential use.
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES GOALS AND POLICIES
This proposal does not comply with Public Facility and Service Goals 1 and
2 nor Public Facility and Service Policies 4 and 6.
Public Facility and Service Goal 2 requires that adequate facilities and
services are provided to assure the health, safety, and general welfare of
the present and future residents of Weld County. Concerns have previously
been raised regarding the quality of the water supply proposed for the
subdivision. A referral response from the Platte Valley Soil Conservation
District indicates that, due to on -site soil limitations, seepage from
individual septic systems could potentially occur, impacting ground water
and causing surface water pollution in Dougan Reservoir and the Speer
Canal. "Facilities and services proposed within a municipality's urban
growth boundary should be designed for compatibility with the future
municipal infrastructure planned for the area," according to Public
Facility and Service Policy #6. Staff knows of no future municipal
infrastructure planned for this area. If one exists, certainly the
community well system and septic systems for 52 lots do not represent
compatibility with future residential services. To further evidence the
lack of infrastructure, no public access presently serves the site.
The applicants have not demonstrated that the zoning of the property under
consideration is faulty or that changing conditions in the area warrant a
change of zone. As stated previously, Martin Brother Planned Unit
Development for rural residential uses is being developed nearby. As well,
other rural residences on larger farm parcels exist in the area. However,
with no urban -type public services in place nor planned for the foreseeable
future, it doesn't appear that changing conditions in the area is a factor
to consider in this request to rezone.
952224
Z-494, John T. & James T. Martin
Page four
The applicants are requesting the County to approve a change of zone
allowing a rural residential subdivision to be located adjacent to the
Speer Canal. The applicants do not wish to construct fencing to separate
the proposed residential lots from the Canal because the Canal easement
(identified as "25 -foot open space and greenbelt" on the plat) is planned
for recreational use. Staff is concerned that unrestricted access to the
Canal would present serious safety hazards to incoming residents,
particularly children.
The applicants propose seven (7) access points from the County road system
to serve this subdivision, two on Weld County Road 10, along the south
property boundary and five on Weld County Road 35, along the west property
boundary. The applicants have indicated a willingness to construct both
roads to County standards, as neither road exists at the present time. The
extension of more than 1 1/2 miles of County roads would be required in
order to provide public access to the proposed subdivision: a portion of
Weld County Road 35 between Weld County Roads 10 and 12, and a portion of
Weld County Road 10 between Weld County Roads 35 and 37. Eight of the
proposed lots within the subdivision would front Weld County Road 35 and
have direct, shared accesses to the road. An additional access to Weld
County Road 35 is planned as a street into the subdivision, providing
ingress to and egress from the west. The length of the west property
boundary is 2,667 feet, more or less. Staff does not support direct access
of these eight lots to the County road, specifically, the creation of five
accesses for residential use located within a distance of only 1/2 mile.
In the staff's opinion, the requirement for new residential growth to
access County roads by way of an internal street system is critical to
promotion of safety and efficiency in land use development.
The applicants have not demonstrated that on -site soils with moderate
limitations for road construction can be overcome. Soils identified by the
Soil Survey of Weld County as 44 and 72-74 have moderate limitations when
used for local roads, due to low strength. Soils classified within this
range comprise approximately 50 per cent of the site, a portion of which is
planned for roads.
This recommendation is based, in part, upon a review of the application materials
submitted by the applicant, other relevant information regarding the request, and
responses from referral entities.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Z-494, John T. & James T. Martin
Staff has received ten letters objecting to this change of zone, as well as several telephone calls
from surrounding property owners. Concerns relate to domestic water quality provided by wells
in this area, problems with street maintenance in the Martin PUD located east of the property,
compatibility of additional residential uses with Weld County Disposal and other issues.

SE4NW4 and SW4 of Section 12, TIN, R66W
Please refer to the attached information which includes an amended plat for the above -
referenced case along with a one -page explanation of the proposed changes. The applicants
are requesting to eliminate the access on the east boundary of the parcel, from Clara Lee
Street in the Martin Brothers PUD. The applicants are now proposing all accesses to be
located along Weld County Roads 35 and 10 (which are not yet constructed to County
standards). Two accesses on Weld County Road 10 and five on Weld County Road 35 are
requested. The two accesses along Weld County Road 10 are proposed to be internal streets
serving 44 lots; four of the five accesses along Weld County Road 35 are proposed to be
shared, direct accesses, each of which would serve approximately two parcels. The applicants
now wish to access the seven lots lying east of the Speer Canal by way of one of the internal
streets from Weld County Road 10. A second bridge is proposed where this street meets the
Speer Canal in the northwest area of the property.
Any comments or concerns you may have and are able to return to this office by August 12,
1995, will be considered by staff and incorporated into the Department of Planning Services'
recommendation to the Planning Commission. Thank you for your assistance. If you have

Recently we discussed the possibility that the applicants might desire to change accesses to
some of the lots in the proposed subdivision for which you have made application for a change
of zone, as referenced above. The Department of Planning Service's staff has reviewed this
proposal and does not consider the change to be a substantial deviation from the original
application. However, if you choose to submit an amended plat and accompanying
documentation which details the change, we will require an additional 30 -day review period to
allow referral agencies to be informed of the change and, further, to allow referral agencies the
opportunity to have adquate time to return a response to staff prior to completion of the staff
recommendation.
Should you choose to proceed with these changes to the application, please submit the original
and 23 copies of written materials identifying the changes, as well as 24 copies of the change of
zone plat which clearly define the proposed streets, bridges and accesses to county roads. The
30 -day review period will begin upon the date of your submittal of this information. The case
would then be heard by the Weld County Planning Commission on its next scheduled meeting
date following the 30 -day review period.

This request is a change of zone from A(Agricultural) to E(Estate) on a 195 acre parcel of
ground. Staff has received responses from several referral entities requesting that additional
information be provided by the applicant. Concerns are regarding:
1) proposed water system: funding, maintenance, easements, etc.

COMMENTS: Eastern access to property: through Martin Brothers PUD--unimproved beyond (west of)

via this street --the lots all lie east of the Speer Canal.
Southern access to property: Weld County Road 10 (gravel -surfaced) is built to approximately the eastern
boundary of the site but ends east of the proposed bridge location (see plat) which is proposed for crossing
the Speer Canal. Weld County Road 10 is accessed by -way of Weld County Road 37, on the east, which is
a paved county collector road.
Western access to property: Weld County Road 35 south of Weld County Road 12 is unimproved and
appears, after viewing the property, to be a private road. Weld County Disposal Co. maintains this road for
a short distance for its own use. According to an employee at Weld County Disposal, the County requires
that a gate be locked across this road, near its intersection with Weld County Road 12, during hours when
the facility is closed. Unless there is some change to the gate requirement, access to the eight lots planned
952224
adjacent to Weld County Road 35 would not be possible.
Site: Unimproved ground with great variation in topography. Very rural property in terms of availability
of services and existing road conditions. Development of this magnitude appears to be premature for this
location.
