Subject: S-414, John T. and James T. Martin, Major Subdivision Final Plat
Mr. Martin has submitted the Improvements Agreement According Policy Regarding Collateral for
Improvements (Publicly Maintained Roads) and the Off -Site Road Improvements Agreement for
WCR 35 and WCR 10. I have reviewed the unit costs and the time for completion for the phases,
and I find no conflict with them.
Finished Floor Elevations: The applicant needs to place on the mylar below the finished floor
elevation the following items:
1. The above table establishes minimum finish elevations so that the low areas may be
graded or filled to provide drainage away from structures.
2. Structures may be located on the lot above the minimum finished floor elevations to
provide drainage.
Review of Documentation: Please find attached the original signed agreements. Please have the
legal staff review these documents.
Storm Water Drainage: I have reviewed the stormwater drainage application and verified the
calculations to my satisfaction. My memorandum dated July 8, 1996, referred to many drainage
basins on site that could possibly hold stormwater run-off until it evaporates. The applicant has
provided finished floor elevations for these lots, along with the additional above -stated items to be
placed on the mylar. This should resolve any potential problems by buildings being constructed in
low areas.

We have reviewed the final plat proposal for the above referenced subdivision of a 195.47 acre
parcel into 52 residential lots with a minimum size of 2.7 acres. A Water Resource Report, dated May
10, 1996, prepared by WRC Engineering Inc., indicates that the in-house domestic water requirement will
be 80 gallons per day per person with 3.5 person occupancy for 280 gallons per day per lot for an annual
total of 16.3 acre-feet for the 52 lots. Based upon 5,000 square feet of lawn for each of the 52 lots the
total irrigation requirement will be 23.9 acre-feet per year. Total annual water requirement including both
in-house and irrigation use is 40.2 acre-feet.
The water supply is to be from 7 wells constructed in the non -tributary Laramie Fox -Hills aquifer.
Permits number 047216-F through 047222-F have been obtained by John T. Martin for 7 wells in the
non -tributary Laramie Fox -Hills aquifer and the "Findings of The State Engineer", determined that
underlying the 195.472 acres, based on a 100 year aquifer life, a total of 45 acre-feet is available
annually as the combined diversion from the 7 wells. Our records indicate that none of the wells have
been constructed.
Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(q, C.R.S., the State Engineer's Office offers the opinion that
the water supply as proposed will not cause material injury to decreed water rights, and the water supply
is expected to be adequate except as noted in the following paragraph.
Water in the Denver Basin Aquifers is allocated based on a 100 year aquifer life under the
provisions of Section 37-90-137(4)(b)(I), C.R.S. For planning purposes the county should be aware that
the economic life of a water supply based on wells in a given Denver Basin aquifer may be less than 100
years due to anticipated water level declines. Furthermore, the water supply plan should not rely solely
upon non-renewable aquifers. Alternative renewable water resources should be acquired and incorporated
in a permanent water supply plan that provides future generations with a water supply.
If you have any questions in this matter, please contact John Schurer of this office.
