A network of linear green spaces connects neighborhoods to the community trail system planned along the Greeley #2 Ditch and also connects the neighborhoods to the commercial development proposed along Highway 392 The 290 acre master plan area is located east of Windsor's central business district, north of State Highway 392, south of Weld County Road 70 and is east of Weld County Road 19. The property is currently under agricultural use and slopes from north to south at 0.5 -2.0%grades, The Greeley#2 Ditch crosses the property in a diagonal direction near the north end. There are existing wetland areas in the south part of the property that are planned to remain and serve as a natural buffer between the residential development and the commercial development proposed along State Highway 392. There is an abundance of raw water available at the site and the developer proposes to utilize raw water not only for irrigation purposes but also to create a series of ponds and/or lakes that will enhance the development. Three points of access are proposed along WCR 19 at approximately quarter mile intervals. There is one point of access proposed on the north along WCR 70 and two street extensions are shown on the east side for future street connections. One point of access is proposed along State Highway 392 approximately one-quarter mile east of WCR 19. The street system is designed to create safe and efficient vehicular circulation within well-defined neighborhoods and out to the arterial streets. Cul de sac streets are used where lol:s back on to common open space. Approximately 710 single-family homes are planned. Larger estate lots ranging in size from 8,000 to 12,000 square feet are planned north of the Greeley#2 Ditch, while smaller residential lots are planned on the south side. MI lots are a minimum 6,000 square feet. The northern neighborhood features a 4.87 acre lake, clubhouse and swimming pool, offering residents a variety of private recreational opportunities. The southern neighborhoods will have generous common open space areas, a trail system and a small scale neighborhood park to be developed by the Town of Windsor. Linear greenbelts extend along the Greeley #2 Ditch and also connect the neighborhoods on the south side of the ditch with the neighborhood planned for the north side, as well as, connecting the residential community to the commercial development proposed along State Highway 392. Wood privacy fences, berms and street trees are planned along the property frontages. Entrances to the project will be enhanced with project entry features and more elaborate landscaping. The Land Use Map in Windsor's Comprehensive Plan indicates that the property is within the Town's Growth Management Area and designates the southern portion of the property Light Industrial land use and depicts the remaining land area as Single Family Residential. The proposed master plan, annexation and zoning are consistent with the goals of the Town as expressed in the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting SF1 Single Family Residential Zoning for the northerly 19.66 acres and GC General Commercial for 55.54 acres located adjacent to State Highway 392. The specifics of the land area to be annexed, zoned, and/or rezoned is illustrated and quantified on the Annexation Plat and the Master Plan drawing. We believe the master plan, annexation, and zoning are in the best interest of the Town of Windsor for the following reasons: a The developer has agreed to participate in a major sanitary sewer extension to this site. Currently the sewer is located in Garden Drive, east of Innovation Circle. This project will extend the sewer north to Hwy 392 near WCR 19. The preliminary agreement drafted by the Town Engineer is acceptable to the applicant. The proposed sanitary sewer extension is strategic because it will enable the northeast quadrant of Windsor to develop. ❑ Development on the east side of Windsor will help balance the growth and development that has occurred on the west side of the Town. Balanced development both east and west will help insure a vital central core and strong central business district. ❑ The master plan proposes approximately 49.10 acres of commercial development thereby increasing the tax base of the Town. a The master plan contributes to the Town's recreational opportunities by providing a portion of the Town's recreational trail system along the Greeley#2 Ditch and by donating a five-acre neighborhood park site within the development. ❑ The proposed development would contribute to the diversity of housing types in Windsor, offering lot sizes that range from 6,000 square feet to over 12,000 square feet. The residential community is divided into small scale neighborhoods by a series of linear green spaces that run along the Greeley#2 Ditch and extend to the south linking the residential neighborhoods to the proposed commercial development. ❑ A Homeowner's Association will be responsible for common open space areas along the perimeter streets and within the development. This arrangement insures that the development will be an attractive addition to the Windsor community into the future. o The project would have lower than average impact on the Town's potable water supply because of the extensive use of raw water that will be used for irrigation purposes. The HOA will encourage residents to utilize xeriscape principles in designing and establishing their private landscapes. We believe the Winter Farm Master Plan would be a well-planned and attractive addition to the Town of Windsor. The combination of single family housing, recreational amenities and commercial development is ideally suited to this centralized location, because it enables residents to walk or ride bikes to a variety of destinations including schools, parks, and shopping areas. In addition, the Master Plan is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the Town of Windsor expressed in the Comprehensive Plan. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to the development review process. Please call if you have questions or need additional information.

Given current. district standards of . 0 students per single Lamily unit, we expect a student impact population of approximately 560 students. The district will incur • additional costs for bussing students until such time as this property might support an elementary school at this site . The estimated capital costs to support transportation at 100 build out approximate S260, 000 if no school site is offered. ' The anneal driver salary is estimated to he $24, 000 with estimated annual route costs of ;1500. The costs for bussing may be mitigated by the donation of a school site. At such time as a school may be constructed within this development, the costs for transportation are reduced significantly with transportation of middle level and high school level students only. The district is currently at capacity at elementary schools and at the: high school with some room for growth at the middle school level . The impact of this development along with other development will require new construction to accommodate student needs. Given the location for this development, the district requests that developers deed a 10-acre elementary school site to till: district and that the di.Striet De provided with water rights for non-domestic use on this property. we request that utilities be provided to the site and that the developer maintains the site until such time as the district may construct a school at the site. The district requests input as to the location of the school site on the property_ Brian L.
