Meadow Brook Farm, Minor Subdivision Final Plat Nelson Engineers Project No. 319 Dear Gloria, This letter is in response to your concern about the legal right to consumptive use of the water in the duck pond of the subject subdivision. The pond resulting from repair of an existing dike, covers an area of 3.6 acres with only 2.1 acres within the subdivision and allows flow through of all water that enters the pond from the drainage basin above as has been done for many, many years. The water entering the pond is primarily tailwater from irrigation of lands above the pond. There is no consumptive use of water from the pond except that which evaporates from the pond. A stock pond of the same size has existed at this location since approximately 1910 and prior to the State of Colorado initiating its water augmentation program. The effects of the duck pond created by repairing the old dike has not changed the historical conditions at this location. Therefore no further action is realistically justified. The applicant is prepared to meet the requirements of the Weld County Commissioners and/or the State Division of Water Resources, however it is the applicants position that no new water holding facility has been created. Respectfully, Nelson Engineers LaVern C. Nelson, P.E. k h c b F H 951674 DATE: July 6, 1995 CASE NUMBER: S-380 NAME: Tri-City Ventures, L.L.C. ADDRESS: 6538 U.S. Highway 34, Loveland, CO 80537 REQUEST: Site Specific Development Plan and Minor Subdivision Final Plat LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot A of RE -1610 in part of the NW4 of Section 8, T5N, R67W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, CO LOCATION: South of and adjacent to Weld County Road 60, approximately 1/4 mile mast of Weld County Road 15 THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES' STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Section 4.4 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance. 2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services' staff that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 4.5.9 of the Weld County Subdivision Ordinance as follows: The proposed Minor Subdivision Final Plat is consistent with the Weld County Comprehensive Plan. The property is located within the Urban Growth Boundaries of the Town of Windsor and City of Greeley. The Windsor and Greeley Planning Commissions have indicated that they have no objection to the proposal. Parcel size and topography restrict the use of the site for agricultural production. The proposed Minor Subdivision Final Plat is compatible with the surrounding area of rural residential uses and agricultural production. Definite provision has been made for a public water supply that is sufficient in terms of quantity, dependability, and quality to provide water for the minor subdivision, including fire protection. Little Thompson Water District conditionally agrees to provide service to the proposed development. S51674 S-380, Tri-City Ventures, L.L.C. page two Provision has been made for individual septic disposal systems for the Minor Subdivision which will be installed according to Weld County Health Department regulations. Soil or topographical conditions which require special precautions have been identified by the applicant; the proposed uses of these areas can be made compatible. Streets within the Minor Subdivision will be adequate in functional classification, width and structural capacity to handle the traffic requirements of the proposed use. Off -site street facilities providing access to the Minor Subdivision are adequate in functional classification, width, and structural capacity to meet the traffic requirements of the proposed use. Proposed access is from Weld County Road 60, a gravel -surfaced local road. Two accesses to the Minor Subdivision will provide adequate access from Weld County Road 60 to internal streets known as Willow Ridge Drive and Brookside Drive. No additional accesses to Weld County Road 60 will be created. The Minor Subdivision is not part of a minor subdivision previously approved by Weld County. Construction, maintenance, snow removal, and other matters pertaining to or affecting the road accesses and right-of-way for the minor subdivision will be the sole responsibility of the resident land owners or developer. The minor subdivision will not cause an unreasonable burden on the ability of local governments or districts to provide police and fire protection, or other services. The Weld County Sheriff's Department has reviewed the proposal and has no conflict. Windsor/Severance Fire -Protection District can provide service if certain conditions are met. The Utility Advisory Committee reviewed the minor subdivision final plat on June 8, 1995, and conditionally approved the request. 951674 S-380, Tri-City Ventures, L.L.C. page three 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.
