If this is to be served by an expansion of the existing master meter for Meadow Vale or a new master meter adjacent to the existing master meter, we will need a proposed meter pit design and required peak hour flow and needed meter sizing for review and approval. If service is anticipated through a traditional system, the system must be designed and installed to District standards and specifications. A master meter arrangement will only be approved if a separate raw water irrigation system is planned for the Elms. No more than a two-to-one equivalency will be allowed through master meter service. The north half of the proposed development is within the Longs Peak Water District service area. Arrangements for service for those areas within the Longs Peak boundaries will be contingent upon satisfactory agreements for service with the Longs Peak District. As you may know, the District has a number of requests in this area, and the number of taps requested greatly exceeds the remaining capacity that is immediately available in the Del Camino Zone. Therefore, although your project would be serviceable with the stipulations noted above, we cannot assure approval for the total number of taps you have requested at this time. In order to be able to deliver the amount of water necessary to serve your entire project, and the projects of other developers in the area, it will be necessary for the District to complete construction of a planned major transmission line in Boulder and Weld Counties. The District has begun working to obtain the necessary permits for the line; this process is expected to take approximately 6 months. Once permits are secured, final design and construction will begin if the necessary developer funding can be obtained. It is estimated that the design/construction phase will take one year. 982230 P.O.

The District will offer an immediate approval for ten per cent of the total taps requested for each of the projects currently under consideration. This approval will remain valid for a period of 6 months or until 1041 permit approval is received or denied, whichever occurs first. At such time you will be required to enter into a standard Subdivision Service Agreement (if you have not already done so), including payment of fees, for your ten percent allotment of taps, or forfeit your approval. For the remaining taps required for each development, beyond the 10% contract, payment of a line participation fee for each tap will be required upon the District completion of the required permits and preliminary design for the projects. In the case of the Elms, this would mean a contract for 20 taps. Total tap commitment to the project would include these 20 in addition to the ten already partially paid for the project, and the twenty committed but not paid due to your participation in the pre-purchase program. This means that a total of 50 taps could be put into service immediately upon payment and completion of the conditions for service outlined in our engineering review. The remaining needed taps would be available upon completion of improvements to the District's system. Enclosed is a summary of the Eastern Region Water Transmission Plan. I look forward to meeting with you and your engineer next week to discuss the improvements needed at Meadow Vale, as well as this new plan.

Weld County Planning Services 1400 17th Ave. JUL 2 0 j998 Greeley, CO 80631 Re: The Elms, Case#Z-513 RECEIVED Dear Monica: I recently met with Floyd Oliver and his engineer to discuss water service to The Elms and Meadow Vale Farm. Floyd Oliver's request differs from some of the recent requests in the area, in that he has participated in a pre-purchase program and we have reserved current capacity on his behalf based on those pre-purchases. In addition, both Meadow Vale Farm and The Elms are developments served through master meters. This means that service to these developments follows a two-to-one equivalency. One tap equivalent (TE) is required for every two units. Below is a summary of the requirements, taps purchased, and taps committed with current capacity: Plus Required TE Required TE Purchased TE Committed 10% Balance Meadow Vale 44 26 18 N/A 0 The Elms 100 10 32 20 38 In Meadow Vale, Floyd had an additional 12 committed taps beyond his requirement of 44. By applying those commitments to the needs at The Elms, the District would be immediately able to serve 62 tap equivalents, or 124 homes through the master meter. Service to the remaining 38 tap equivalents or 76 homes will be contingent on completion of improvements to the District's system. It is my understanding that you are reluctant to proceed with applications when the water is not immediately available for build-out of the project. In this case, a significant percentage of the water is immediately available, and we would ask that you consider the application with the understanding that service to the full build-out of the development will be contingent on the currently planned upgrades to our system.

I hope that this might help in your review of Mr. Oliver's project. In regard to other projects in the MUD area, the District will reserve a percentage of capacity in it' s transmission lines for those projects that enter into line participation agreements and pay their complete proportionate share of the project. This will be true for the Sherwood project, as well as the various Carlson projects and any other projects that will be served from proposed improvements. In the case of the projects on Highway 119, there is also current capacity immediately available, with future capacity available upon completion of the transmission line projects, and committed upon execution of a line participation agreement. Our District will require payment of fees for every tap needing service at build out of the development. In our recent conversations with the Carlson's and Sherwood group, we have received assurance that they will participate to the full extent required to fund the improvements necessary to serve their developments. They are concerned that no review of their projects can be completed until the capacity to serve is actually present. I am sure that this is not the case. . .the District will be unable to require participation from developments that are not approved and so will not be able to construct improvements to serve the MUD areas. We are very confident that we will receive approval for our 1041 application within three to six months, and will complete construction within one or two years after that time. Is it possible for Weld County to review development proposals and then make commitments contingent upon participation in the costs of service as well as completion of the improvements? I would like to discuss these issues with you, perhaps in a meeting at your convenience. • P.O. Box 210 •Niwot CO. 80544•(303) 530-4200• Fax(303)530-3252 g8aaso 07/22/98 07:59 TX/RX NO. 1760 P.001 .

July 20, 1998 JUL 2 0 1998 Monica Daniels-Mika Weld County Planning Greeley, R E C t i v E D Colorado Dear Monica, I met with Kathy Peterson, manager of Left Hand Water District on July 16, 1998. We discussed the tap request from The Elms in detail and she promised to write you a second letter on July 17, 1998 concerning our meeting. Since Meadow Vale Farm and The Elms do not depend on Left Hand water for irrigation, our use of Left Hand Water is considerable less than if our homeowners were using Left Hand Water for irrigation. The amount of this use is still being analyzed. Meadow Vale Farm has not been in service long enough to fully determine how much less water our homeowners are using. The water use is for internal household use only. Early indications suggest a use of 9000 per month per house. We serve Meadow Vale Farm through a master meter and we plan to do the same at the Elms. Left Hand Water allows us to serve two homes for one tap. We think this ratio should be three-to -one but it is up to us to prove our usage and this takes time. The tap equivalency is two-to-one until we can convince the Board of Directors of Left Hand Water that a higher ratio is justified. Kathy Peterson will write you that we have 62 taps now which would be sufficient water for at least 124 houses. Our plans are to build 50 homes a year at the Elms, so we have sufficient water to cover our building until the year 2002. As mentioned in Kathy's letter of July 10, 1998 Left Hand Water District has requests for 2000 taps. Because of this high demand they are planning a Boulder County to Weld County pipeline, this pipeline is to be complete in early 2000. Additional taps will be available upon completion of this pipeline The Elms should be allowed to proceed to at least 124 homes based on taps we already have. Either a different tap equivalency will be approved or the new pipeline will be completed to serve houses beyond the year 2002. 4250 W. 16th Street,#46 ltd' Greeley,CO 80634 Phone•970-339-9404 l' Cellular• 970-396-5035 Fax• 970-339-8556 9,vado We will not be building homes until 1999 and the initial start will be slower than after we have established the subdivision. At Meadow Vale Farm it took two years to have 30 homes occupied. We agree that the Elms will not build beyond 124 homes until more water is approved by Left Hand Water District. Please allow us to continue with the scheduled August 4, 1998 hearing before the Planning Commission. If we are delayed much longer we are likely to lose our contract to purchase the land or have to close on the land before we get change of zone.

Meadow Vale Farms (S-403) is directly south of the proposed facility and will be utilizing WCR 5.5 to access both facilities. Both WCR 5.5 and WCR 26 are designated on the Mixed Use Development Area Comprehensive Plan as a Collector Status Roads that require an 80-foot right-of-way at full build out, there is presently 60 feet. REQUIREMENTS: The applicant needs to dedicate an additional 10-foot right-of-way on WCRs 5.5 and 26 to accommodate half of the requirement. An additional traffic analysis needs to be performed at the intersection of WCRs 5.5 and 26 for traffic going north and west or east from this intersection. A proposed upgrade and paving of WCR 5.5 and WCR 26 should reflect the two-lane Collector status in Figure 2.10 of the Mixed Use Development Standards. The applicant should construct the typical cross section to reflect asphalt and base or full depth asphalt, curb and gutter, a sidewalk adjacent to the development, and a 12-foot lane and 8-foot shoulder on the opposite side. The portion of WCR 5.5 adjacent to Meadow Vale has not been constructed. Curb, gutter, and sidewalks should be added to match the cross section being required adjacent to the Elms. The applicant is submitting four different cross sections to accommodate each individual roadway section. Boulevard Cross Section:The boulevard cross section is reflecting one street that will serve as the main entryway into the site. This boulevard will have a one-way lane in each direction that will be separated by a 50-foot median. The travel-way will be a 20-foot wide area and will allow parking on one side. This particular cross section needs to reflect curb, gutter, and sidewalks. The applicant is indicating a 112-foot right-of-way. Local Street Cross Section: The applicant is indicating a 28-foot driving surface. This cross section needs to reflect driving lanes, parking area, curb and gutter, and attached or detached sidewalks, all within the 60-foot right- of-way. C Page Two Private Drive Cross Section: A 20-foot driving surface is indicated to accommodate the private drive section. If this is identified as a private drive and the county takes over the Planned Unit Development for maintenance, how will this be handled? The private drive is not identified in the transportation section. I recommend that the applicant place a second entrance to the PUD, possibly from WCR 26. This second access point would accommodate the north end and supply an emergency access to the property, if needed. The applicant should supply and install all street signs and stop signs at appropriate locations within the PUD. This should be identified on Exhibit A of the Improvements Agreement. cc: Commissioner Webster Z-513 plan2 WICarAgi+, PdanCtr i Dent, JUN 0 51898 t; v,?tit . 95,;J3u MEMORANDUM TO: Monica Daniels-Mika, Director DATE: June 4, 1998 CFROM: Don Carroll, Engineering Administrator q,� • JG COLORADO SUBJECT: S-403; Meadow Vale (Floyd Oliver) Traffic/Access Concerns During my weekly visit to the Del Camino area, I discovered the applicant has roughed in and is upgrading and paving roadways for the Meadow Vale Farms Subdivision, Filing II, Construction Phase II. My major concern, at this particular time, is Meadow Vale Road where it accesses onto WCR 5.5 directly south of the proposed school site. This section of road ties into the county road just below the crest of the hill and causes an unsafe situation. The applicant should grade the southeast corner of the school site to provide adequate site distance to the north and install a temporary stop sign until this section of road is paved At that time, a permanent stop sign should be installed at this location and at the main entrance to Meadow Vale Farms at WCR 5.5. Mr. Oliver has plans to upgrade, realign, and construct and pave WCR 5.5 as the construction progresses.

COLORADO SUBJECT: S-442; Floyd Oliver, The Elms at Meadow Vale I spoke With Jennifer Anderson Torrey, from BHA Design of Fort Collins, and met with Mr. Oliver to discuss revising the three typical cross sections for the Elms at Meadow Vale. We agreed to place the sidewalk section in front of all the lots and not throughout the open space trail system. Mr. Oliver was given the choice of a sidewalk adjacent to the curb and gutter or a detached sidewalk. The three typical cross sections to be redrawn and placed on the plat are: Boulevard Cross Section - should contain curb and gutter adjacent to the island with a 12-foot driving lane and an eight-foot parking area with curb, gutter, and sidewalk Local Residential Cross Section - will consist of curb, gutter, and sidewalks on both sides, two 12-foot driving lanes and two eight-foot parking areas Local Residential Landscaped Cross Section -there will be curb and gutter adjacent to the landscaped island with two 12-foot driving lanes, one eight-foot parking area with curb, gutter and sidewalk. The off site cross section identified on the plat will remain as presented in my memo of July 10. This states that the proposed upgrading and paving of WCR 5.5 and WCR 26 will comply with the two-lane Collector Status and Figure 2.10 of the Mixed Use Development Standards. The applicant will construct one half of the typical cross section to reflect asphalt and base or full depth asphalt, curb and gutter, and attached or detached sidewalk within the 40-foot right-of-way. There should also be a 24-foot asphalt section with a six-foot shoulder on the opposite side. A Road Maintenance and Improvements Agreement (off site) needs to be completed to phase the improvements to WCR 5.5 and WCR 26 as well as to construct the internal roads. This cross section will accommodate two-way traffic on WCR 5.5 and WCR 26. I informed Ms. Anderson Torrey that a traffic analysis will be completed, taking into consideration the impact that may occur on WCR 5.5 and WCR 26. This should be submitted to the Weld County Public Works Department for review and then forwarded to our traffic engineer consultant for final review prior to recording the plat. We are still recommending that the applicant place a second access from WCR 26. The secondary access point would accommodate the north end of the PUD and supply emergency access to the property. cc: Commissioner Webster Jennifer Anderson Torrey ✓ Weld County P!annlnn Dept- S-442 JUL 2 4 1998 plan20 Fite ed i i tlN % 2)3c) 114 MEMORANDUM "lige TO: Monica Daniels-Mika, W.C.

He711)51- COLORADO / Departmen CASE NO.: Z-513 NAME: Floyd Oliver The Weld County Health Department has conducted a thorough review of this proposal. The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service. Water will be provided by the Left Hand Water District and sewer will be provided by the St. Vrain Sanitation District. It should be noted that this application did not provide statements from these Districts as required in Sections 6.3.2.2.1.9 and 6.3.2.2.1.10 of the Ordinance. The application materials appear to adequately address impacts as described in section 6.3.1.2.1 of the PUD Ordinance. In addition, at this time, our staff is not aware of any potential environmental impacts or risks that this proposed development may pose that may represent an increased environmental impact or risk in excess of other similar developments. Our staff observed that to the south and east of this site two existing gravel mining operations are established. The City of Longmont Composting facility is located approximately 1/2 mile south of the site and an operating dairy is located immediately adjacent to the site. There is also extensive residential-type development to the southwest of the site. To the north and west, the site is generally surrounded by open agricultural fields, some of which may be used as biosolids application sites. We also observed several agricultural type homes in the vicinity of the site. Many of these homes have livestock that include but may not be limited to cows and horses. It is our opinion that any future property owner should be made aware that these agricultural uses exist and that they may be exposed to noise, dust, flies, odors, etc. in excess of the common urban experience. As a result, we recommend that the "Right to Farm" covenant be required to be placed on any recorded plat. In the event that you find that this application is complete, we recommend that the following conditions be a part of any approval: 1) The applicant shall obtain water and sewer service from the Left Hand Water District and the St. Vrain Sanitation District. Weld County Planning Dept. JUN u 4 1998 RECEWED 9�aa Floyd Oliver Page 2 2) In the event that >5 acres of the site is disturbed during construction activities, the applicant shall obtain a stormwater discharge permit from the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment. Please note: The Weld County Health Department, Environmental Protection Services recommends alternative strategies regarding water conservation and waste minimization. Considerations such as xeriscaping, low flow water fixtures, backyard composting and recycling are a few options available to home owners. We also recommend that preliminary radon mitigation measures be incorporated in the construction of new homes. Radon kits are available in our office.

The projected student impact upon the St. Vrain Valley School District of 210 new single-family lots on 141 acres is a total of 139 students. Any students living in this subdivision would attend Mead Elementary School, Mead Middle School and Skyline High School under the present school boundaries. However, due to potential growth in these schools this development and other existing developments in this feeder could be placed in another attendance area in the future. Bus transportation would be required. THIS PROPOSED DEVELOP 1995-98 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS' Building Oct. 97 Student Projected Over Total # of Total Cum.

While this development does not impact the high school capacity, the elementary and middle schools are already at or over capacity. In addition, there are other approved developments in these attendance areas which will, together with this proposal, have a significant cumulative impact on these schools. As the volume of developments increases in the Mead Elementary area with no alleviation of the existing overcrowded conditions, the ability to provide the same quality education for these new students that is provided students in other areas becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore, the District would typically oppose this development because it adds to the enrollment of an already overcrowded school. This developer is in the process of dedicating a 10 acre school site on the Meadow Vale parcel. This gift to the district will be used to provide a tax benefit to the developers and helps to mitigate the impacts of the original Meadow Vale submittal. The impacts of this current proposal are separate from the original development, thus, the District would request the cooperation and participation of the developer and County in implementing a separate agreement to help mitigate the impacts on the schools from this phase of development. This agreement would include the calculation of an appropriate cash in-lieu of land dedication fee to address the capacity concerns at these schools (per the attached chart).

The project is within the boundaries of the Fire District and will receive service from the District. The Fire District has no objections to the change of zone for this parcel of land. The Fire District will have specific requirements for the project as it develops. Reference should be made to the letter from Fire Marshal LuAnn Penfold, dated January 27, 1998, for an outline of those requirements. If you have any questions, please contact me.

This 15 PSI pressure is measured at the house on the highest and most remote plumbing fixture. Fixture height and distance from the water meter have an effect on the pressure and quantity of water delivered to a fixture. The Uniform Plumbing Code has several charts at the end of Chapter 10 which are used to calculate the size of the water service line and house lines so as to allow for pressure drop to the fixtures. It is my opinion that 15 PSI water pressure is a very low pressure. Unless the water delivery lines and service line is sized to compensate for such low pressure, which is seldom the case, the homeowners will experience serious problems with adequate water pressure and quantities for their homes.

JUN 1 2 1998 Ms. Monica Daniels-Mika, AICP Planning Director t l a f' P Weld County Planning Department �' ' � ' "" 1400 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 RE: Case Number Z-513: The Elms at Meadow Vale PUD—Change of Zone Dear Monica: Thank you for sending the referral concerning the Elms at Meadow Vale PUD—Change of Zone application to the City of Longmont. This proposed PUD includes approximately 141 acres and is located at the southwest corner of Weld County Road 5.5 and Weld County Road 26. It is located north of the Meadow Vale PUD which is on the north side of State Highway 119. This application proposes to construct about 200 dwelling units including single family detached homes on approximately %2 acre lots and patio homes on approximately 4,000 sq. ft. lots. This PUD includes a small portion of an elementary school site (the majority of the elementary school site is located in the adjacent Meadow Vale PUD). With more residential development being approved and constructed in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area, the demand on the City to provide urban services will increase since Weld County currently is providing rural levels of services to this area. As you know, the City of Longmont Police Department has been responding to an increasing number of calls in unincorporated Weld County. Additional population in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area places additional demands on this and other City services such as parks, recreation, and library services. While the City of Longmont has planned to provide the full range of urban infrastructure and services for the Longmont Planning Area, we have not planned on providing such services to development in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. People who live and work in urban areas tend to want a broader range of services and higher service levels than might be provided to people living in rural areas. It is a difficult task that Weld County has undertaken to provide urban services for the development that is occurring in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area. The City requests t W , IliNleblargaRtagattha S& 30 that Weld County begin to increase its level and range of services offered in the I-25 Mixed Use Development Area so that its services meet the needs of the people who live and work there. The City of Longmont can not be expected to provide them. Again, thank you for the opportunity to comment on this referral. If you have any questions,please call me at 303/651-8326 or send e-mail tofroda.greenberg@ci.longmontco.us.
