re: Lindies Lake PUD Change of Zone
Dear Scott ,
After reviewing recommendations by county staff and other consulting
agencies, we would like to proceed with the change of zone. The Lindies
Lake change of zone PUD meets or exceeds all of the requirements
recommended by the various agencies contacted, except for the 5 lot
requirement. Lindies Lake will have paved roads, including a 50 ft. long 10
ft. wide bus turn out for school children. The open space in the Lindies Lake
PUD is 31% greater than the lot space being developed. Density of.09 per
acre greatly exceeds the 15% open space requirement. We have increased all
roads to county specifications. The 34.1 acres being sold as lots will be
planted in pasture grasses. By doing this it will increase the agricultural area.
Currently, according to government records, only 22 acres are being farmed.
The open space areas around the Lake will be maintained in the natural
way they are, providing a great deal of habitat for wild life.
Our need for 7 lots rather than 5 is to provide continuing economic
base for the proper maintenance of the open space through Home Owners
dues. The extra 2 lots will also help to offset the cost of the paved road. The
paved road and bus turn out will add safety to the area as well as eliminate
any dusty road problems.
I believe 7 lots on 34 acres with 44 acres of open space with paved
roads is much better than, 5 lots on 15 acres with dirt roads, which would
meet county requirements. What we are proposing is not urban scale
development. The proposal is very compatible with current use in the area
and will maintain and provide more habitat for wild life. After reading the
comprehensive plan, Lindies Lake PUD is a development that works well
using these guidelines.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Bill Hall

Answers to County Regulations
6.3.1.2.1.1 Noise and vibration will not change a great deal. With
granting the change of zone the houses will be set back from the county
road and away from most neighbors.
6.3.1.2.1.2 Smoke dust and odors, during construction phases for
roads and houses there may be an increase in dust. We will midigate
these dust problems by wetting the area.
6.3.1.2.1.3 Heat light and glare. The houses and out buildings will be
set back off of the road so these factors should be minimal. Also the 7
homes are in an 80 acre gross area.
6.3.1.2.1.4 The visual and aesthetic impacts should not be great: Each
home and its out buildings will be painted to match in earth tone colors.
Planting of trees close to the homes should be a pleasant visual impact.
6.3.1.2.1.5 The electrical interference should be lessened, because the
lines are being put under ground. Only 1 pole will be visible on the
south end, this pole will be used for the road wire crossing.
6.3.1.2.1.6 Water pollution , the new development will decrease water
pollution as the pesticides and fertilizers will be used much less and the
grass will absorb more run off than bare ground according to the
environmental study.
6.3.1.2.1.7 Waste water will be disposed on site with Weld County
approved methods. The leach field site will be placed away from the
lake as recommended by the Weld County Health Department. These
recommendations far exceed any Corp. of Engineer requirements.
6.3.1.2.1.8 Wet lands will be disturbed very little as described in the
on site habitat and environmental engineer description.
6.3.1.2.1.9 Erosion and Sedimentation will be reduced by the planting
of pasture grasses.
6.3.1.2.1.1.0 Excavating filling and grading will be minimal as the
proposed road area is relatively flat. The fill on the north end will
come from on site material that needs to be leveled.
6.3.1.2.1.1.1 The drill site is located on the map. Should this property
ever be drilled, ditching will not be required as we will use plastic
tubing for irrigation. No dredging is required at this time.
6.3.1.2.1.1.2 Air pollution should not be a factor as the PUD will have
7 houses on an 80 acre tract, approximately 70 acres in lake, trees and
plants.
6.3.1.2.1.1.3 Solid waste - trash etc. will be picked up by an entity
contracted by the Home Owners Association.
6.3.1.2.1.1.4 Wild life will have more habitat after the Subdivision is
granted. The plantings of the Home Owners will encourage wildlife.
6.3.1.2.1.1.5 Natural vegetation will be effected only in the one acre
area home sites. The plantings by home owners in out areas should
enhance natural vegetation. The weed problems in the open space will
be controlled by spring and fall weed spraying by the Home Owners
Association.
6.3.1.2.1.1.6 There is no radiation or radioactive material on this
location known to us.
6.3.1.2.1.1.7 An estimated price and design plans have been discussed
with North Weld Water. A lager line will be run from the south
connecting the area homes now served by North Weld, improving their
flow.
6.3.1.2.1.1.8 The seven homes will impact county road 51 by an
average of 45.5 trips, according to traffic study information obtained
from county road personnel. Road 51 is a collector road and is capable
to handle a great deal more traffic than the 362 trips per 24 period. We
also have in our plan to pave a 50ft bus pickup and deceleration lane at
our entrance.
6.3.2.2.1.1 Eaton schools will serve the subdivision. We know of no
negative response from the school district.
6.3.2.2.1.2 Law enforcement will be provided by Weld County
Sheriff.
6.3.2.2.1.3 Fire protection will be provided by Galeton Fire Protection
District and we will be willing to cooperate in the installation of the 3"
dry hydrant requested. Galeton Fire District needs to provide more
information about the dry hydrant and hookup.
6.3.2.2.1.4 Paramedic one.
6.3.2.2.1.5 The plan for the PUD includes the building of a paved road
inside of the subdivision upon approval of the zone change and
approval of the subdivision. I will provide the collateral for the
improvement agreement. I have discussed this with Don Carroll of
Weld County Public Works and will gladly get this agreement
completed. After discussion with Mr. Carroll, he indicated a traffic
study for a 7 lot subdivision on paved roads was not necessary. The
weld county construction standards will be followed.
6.3.2.2.1.6 See enclosed copy of Stewart and Associates letter dated
6-30-98 to Don Carroll.

6.3.2.2.1.7 After Don Carroll reviewed the site, it was his feeling all
lots would drain into the lake as they do now and that a storm drainage
study was not needed. Richard Rutherford , our site engineer, also
comments on drainage, his comments are included.
6.3.2.2.1.8 I have met with Larry Homan from Public Service and
there is ample power for the subdivision and Irrigation pump. The
power lines will be under ground.
6.3.2.2.1.9 See enclosed letter from North Weld County Water
District dated 7-28-98.
6.3.2.2.1.1.0 The lots are large enough to use on site systems and soils
reports indicate that on site septic systems will work.
6.3.3.2.2 See enclosed landscape plan. Each lot owner will plant
areas around the house, and out buildings will be painted the same
color using earth tones or very mild colors.
6.3.3.2.4 The majority of the landscaping on the property is in place
naturally. These plants will be trimmed and maintained by the Home
Owners Association, (to be formed). The new plantings on the lots
will be maintained by the home owners. The home owners will be able
to use irrigation water pumped from the Lake to start and maintain
grass and plants.
6.3.3.2.5 The natural plantings on the property, including grass and
trees make this a very pleasant spot. It is our belief that only a small
amount of low evergreens need to be planted at the entrance.
6.3.3.2.6 We own two shares of Cache La Poudre water that is stored
in our Lake. This water is more than adequate to supply the needs of
any plant life on the property. The pasture we will plant after it is up
will need to be watered once every other week, depending on the rain.
6.3.4.2.1.1 The property slopes gradually from west to east, the Lake
being the lowest point. The homes will set back to the east of the road
we will build. The common area trail will go around the Lake and end
at the pasture below the Damn. This area will be used as riding area.
6.3.4.2.1.2 The proposed PUD zoning would be a proper use of the
PUD available in the comprehensive plan. The plan for this
development is to maintain the northeast, east side , and south side of
the Lake in its natural state and also below the damn in natural grasses.
By doing this the trees shrubs and natural wild life areas will be saved
from harm. The development improvements will minimize change to
the area. By paving the road on the entrance and along the front of the
property it will reduce any dust impact the development would have.
982296
The development greatly exceeds the open space required for a PUD.
This open space will be maintained by a Home Owners Association.
6.3.4.2.1.3 The uses allowed within the proposed PUD will be
regulated by County Rules and Home Owners Association Regulations.
These regulations and rules should promote harmony between
neighbors in the PUD as well as outside. The number of animals per
acre will be the same as county estate zoning. Irrigation water and the
size of lots should help to eliminate animal problems. The homes
design and color will be approved by a Home Owners Board.
6.3.4.2.1.4 The uses in this PUD will be very compatible with the
neighbors as the use will be the same as the current neighbors. The
covenants will require homes of equal or greater size than current
homes in the immediate area. The home owners in the PUD will be
required by the Home Owners Association to maintain their grounds in
clean and orderly fashion. The marketing effort on the property will
include language concerning moving to the County and what to expect.
Including crop dusters early in the morning, animals smells, general
agriculture uses.
6.3.4.2.1.5 This property is not in flood hazard geologic hazard or
airport overlay district.
6.3.5.2.1 The common open space is designated and will be
permanent.
6.3.5.2.2 The Home Owners Association is being Drawn up now.
Upon approval it will be completed and filed.
6.3.5.2.3 It will be mandatory for any lot owner to belong to the Home
Owners Association.
6.3.5.2.4 Having set up previous Home Owners Associations, we will
have all of the requirements met.
6.3.5.2.5We will be able to levy assessments.
6.3.5.2.7 This PUD is residential and has more open space than
residential areas are required to have. Our ratio is 44.9 Open Space
acres, and 34.1 in lot acres.
6.3.5.3.2 The Open space will be owned by the Lindies Lake HOA.
The Home Owners Association will collect dues to maintain insurance,
pay for maintenance on open space and pay taxes on the open space.
These dues are mandatory and will be set by the Home Owners
Association Board.
6.3.5.3.2.1 I agree to follow county procedure in regards to this rule.
6.3.5.3.2.2 I agree to follow county procedure in regards to this rule.

6.3.6.2.1.1 There is no intent to use signs other than street or stop
signs.
6.3.8.2.1 This PUD does not need intergovernmental agreements.
6.4.2.6.4 The PUD Zone district will have ample water supply and
approved on site septic systems.

1.0 Project Description
The proposed subdivision is located approximately 6 miles east of Lucerne, Colorado.
The project is bordered by State Highway 392 on the north and County Road 51 on the
west. The total size of the area is 80.3 acres (including the lake). Seven lots are
proposed to be constructed along the western shoreline of the lake. The total lake
shoreline is approximately 5,125 feet. Approximately 2,525 feet of shoreline will be
associated with the seven lots. A 50-foot buffer zone of seeded grassland is proposed
along the shoreline of each lot. The total project includes the 7 lots,the lake, and a strip
of shoreline ranging from approximately 160 feet to 300 feet around the entire lake.
2.0 Habitat Description
Lots 3,4,5,6, and 7 are dominated by irrigated agricultural land. The shoreline zone
(from the lake edge back approximately 30-40 feet)of each lot includes wetlands
dominated by salt grass, sedges, and other wetland plants. Russian olive trees occur
along the lakeshore in this area. The lake adjacent to these lots does not support
extensive emergent wetlands.
Lot 1 and 2 include seeded grassland and large areas of wetland. Wetlands in this area
are dominated by saltgrass, sedges, reed canarygrass, cattails, American threesquare, and
a variety of other plants. The shallow areas of the lake adjacent to these lots support
large emergent wetlands dominated by cattails and bulrush.

9S2296
The remaining lakeshore includes large emergent wetland habitats(northern and
northeastern shoreline), and narrow wetland/riparian habitats.
The wetlands around the lake provide valuable habitat to a variety of waterfowl and
waterbirds.
3.0 Project Impacts and Recommended Mitigation Measures
A 50-foot strip of seeded grassland and wetland vegetation will be planted or maintained
along the lakeshore of each lot. Portions of this strip may be developed for lake access
and recreation sites. This vegetated strip will help reduce water quality impacts to the
lake from any runoff of fertilizers. Fertilizer and chemical runoff into the lake should be
reduced from current levels caused by extensive surrounding agricultural operations.
The large emergent wetlands within the lake adjacent to lots 1 and 2 will not be affected
by project construction. These wetlands will continue to provide valuable wildlife
habitat. Construction of site roads will result in the fill of a small area of wetland in lots
1 and 2. Appropriate permits will be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers for this
activity. Construction of housing within lots 1 and 2 may require that additional acreage
of wetlands be filled. Each lot owner will be responsible for obtaining appropriate
permits for any wetland impact.
Lots will have no more than 1 acre of landscaped yard. The remainder of each lot will be
seeded grassland, or pasture.
As mitigation for the development, approximately 50% of the shoreline area
(approximately 2,600 feet of shoreline or 10.9 acres) of Lindies Lake will be set aside as
permanent open space and wildlife habitat. This shoreline zone will range between 160
to 300 feet wide. Recreational activities within this preserved area will be restricted to
property owners. The current vegetation around the lake will be maintained in its natural
state.
