Health Department COLORADO CASE NO.: Z-518 NAME: Winter, Robert and Janet The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. We reviewed this application with the understanding that the applicant is in the process of amending this application in order to comply with the density requirements described in Section 2.13 of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance, No. 197. You have also informed me that this development lies within the 100-year flood plain. The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service. Water will be provided by the North Weld County Water District and sewer will be provided by individual sewage disposal systems. Once the application is amended, the minimum lot sizes and the overall density of homes per acreage will meet both current Health Department policy as well as the PUD Ordinance. However, according to the United States Geologic Survey', the depth to ground water at the site may very shallow. This could require that any septic system constructed on the site be designed by a Registered Professional Engineer. High ground water limits the type of septic systems that can be installed, and often very large leachfields are required. Large leachfields near other natural obstacles, such as irrigation ditches, limit the usable area of a lot. As a result, we are recommending that the applicant amend the application to include a building envelope and two septic systems envelopes (one envelope for the initial system and the second for a replacement system). Each septic system envelope should be a minimum of 10, 000 square feet. 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. However, we did observe what appeared to be an abandoned railroad track near the site. The applicant should provide relevant information concerning the use of the track. Our staff observed several agricultural type homes in the vicinity of the site. Many of these 'United States Geologic Survey, 1979.

Schneider, Jr. ' EXHIBIT 990207 1 ) 0 Winter PUD October 13, 1998 Page 2 homes have livestock that include but may not be limited to cows and horses. We also observed that a small feedlot is located to the south of the site. 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 the submitted application to comply with the PUD Ordinance, we recommend that the following conditions be a part of any approval: 1) The applicant shall obtain water service from the North Weld County Water District. 2) A Weld County Septic Permit is required for each proposed home septic system and shall be installed according to the Weld County Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations. 3) The installation of any septic system within the 100-year flood plain shall comply with the Weld County ISDS flood plain policy. In accordance with the Colorado ISDS Regulations, no septic systems shall be installed in the floodway. 4) The applicant shall designate one building envelope and two septic system envelopes on each lot. 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. Please contact our Department for further information. tj/1109 Weld County Planning Dept.

As an Officer with the Division of Wildlife, I have patrolled the area for over 16 years and am therefore very familiar with the Winter farm and surrounding lands. Division's comments are based on this background The Winter farm is a typical irrigated agricultural operation found throughout the Windsor- Severance corridor. There are a series of irrigation laterals that deliver water to fields on this farm and on to adjacent properties. Agricultural production generally involves row crops and or hay production. There is very little, if any land left in native pasture. Grass and forbs growing along the ditches provide food and cover for miscellaneous small mammals,Red Fox, Coyote,Raccoon and Striped Skink Miscellaneous songbirds including: Western Meadowlark, Song Sparrow, Grasshopper Sparrow,Lark Sparrow and Vesper Sparrow, also use the grassy ditch margins. Pheasants will nest and hide along weedy ditches. During winter,large flocks of Canada Geese and miscellaneous ducks enter fields in this area to feed on waste grain and use the fields for day roosting. The firms in this area, including the Winter Farm are hunted for geese and other species. Many of them are leased for substantial monetary remuneration. In fact,while looking at the site I noticed lease signs posted across road 70. Consequently the Division would disagree with the Winter's comment that, "there is no wildlife activity associated with this Development " The development of this PUD will impact wildlife and potentially impact associated wildlife recreation on the Winter Farm and adjacent parcels. These impacts deserve to be considered before the PUD is approved. The Division appreciates the effort to cluster home sites in this PUD. From a resource standpoint this is the least damaging development design. However the cluster will be sited mid section on the County Road. By placing the PUD midsection,the development will effectively cut section 14 and possibly 11 in half. This often makes it more difficult to farm neighboring fields(crop dusting for instance may be precluded near the PUD). It also increases negative impacts by DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES,James S.Loehhead,Executive Director WILDLIFE COMMISSION,Arnold Salazar,Chairman•Mark LeValley, Secretary•Jesse Langston Boyd,Jr.,Member Rebecca L.Frank,Member•Wiliam R.Hogberg,Member•James R.Long,Member•John Stub.Member•Louis F. Swift,Member 990207 10/15/98 10:55 TX/RX N0.2836 P.002 Oct 15 98 12: 23p Division of Wildlife 1 -9"n-352-2143 p. 3 increased intrusion for ground nesting species,roosting species and species sensitive to humans and their pets. All to often when development occurs in these types of areas,native fauna like meadowlarks and Lark Sparrows disappear to be replaced by generalist species like Robins, English House Sparrows(a nonnative European invader), and Starlings(another European invader). PUDs always place pet containment clauses in covenants. However,reality indicates that dogs are allowed to run at times and feral cats are a constant problem in the vicinity of rural subdivisions. Species like Raccoon and Striped Skunk,that at times come in conflict with humans, can also be expected to flourish in and around the PUD. The development will also potentially impact the ability to hunt on adjacent properties. In this portion of Colorado there is a regulation prohibiting waterfowl hunting within 150 yards+air space from any residence without the permission of the occupants. This effectively removes bunting from within 250 yards of occupied home sites. With all the ranehette development in Weld County,Division of Wildlife and Sheriff's officers spend increasing time responding to these complaints. If you draw a 250-yard perimeter around this PUD it is apparent that adjacent properties may be effectively shut down to hunting. This would have a negative impact on landowners that rely upon lease dollars from goose hunters. The Division applauds the Winter's efforts to secure raw water for landscaping on the PUD. To avoid grazing by Canada Geese,use of Blue grass should be limited to immediately around home sites. Tree and shrub plantings should incorporate the use of weed barrier and mulch techniques. Trees and shrubbery should be selected from species that provide wildlife value and or low water consumption. Icon supply a list of suitable species on request. Based on these considerations,the Division would recommend: 1. That the PUD be placed as close as possible to the NW corner of section 14,near the intersection of Weld Roads 70 and 21. This would decrease potential negative impacts on farming,hunting and wildlife. 2. That Subdivision Covenants notify purchasers that they will be responsible for nuisance wildlife control using only techniques permissible by Local, State and Federal law. 3. That Subdivision Covenants incorporate right to hunt wording for adjacent properties. The Division will actively work to control hunting practices that are unsafe. However,we will not become involved in attempts to eliminate hunting because it is inconvenient or philosophically objectionable to new neighbors. 4. Subdivision Covenants shall include wording that prohibits the free movement of all pets, including cats, offproperty. 5. Subdivision Covenants shall include restrictions that mandate the use of scavenger proof trash receptacles. On behalf of the Division of Wildlife I have appreciated the opportunity to review and comment on this proposal. If I may be of further service please contact me at the phone number listed above. I would also be happy to speak with the Winters if they have questions or concerns.

The requirements for fire hydrants are listed below. If the fire hydrant is not capable of meeting the minimum 1000 gpms at 20 psi, an alternative must be proposed by the developer of the project. Types of Hydrants: Fire Hydrants shall be the Mueller Centurion or the Waterous Pacer.The Waterous Pacer shall be equipped with an upper standpipe section with a nominal height equal to the Mueller Centurion. Fire hydrants shall be dry barrel. Fire hydrants shall have two 2 'A" ports and one 4'/,"port. All thread shall be National Standard Thread,(NST). Fire Hydrants shall operate by opening in a counter- clockwise direction and closing in a clockwise direction. The hydrant shall have the standard live sided nut on the port caps and the operating stem[. The hydrant shall be installed with the 4 '/;"port facing the roadway. I lydrant Installation: Fire Hydrants shall be constructed such that an isolation valve is located between the hydrant and the water main.The valve shall be accessible. The hydrant shall be installed so that the base flange is above grade with at least the base flange bolts exposed,and not greater than five inches from the grade to the bottom of the base flange bolts. Hydrants shall have a break away section per manufacturers specifications. The breakaway should be installed level with grade. All tire hydrants shall be installed with a course gravel bed to ensure adequate drainage from hydrant weep holes. Thrust blocks shall be installed in accordance with AWWA and NFPA. Hydrants shall be visible and accessible for tire lighters without difficulty. Vegetation and landscaping shall not conceal the hydrant.
