Subject: Z-503, Western Dairymen Cooperative, Inc.
I have reviewed the application and change of zone and have the following comments:
Under Exhibit C, Road Maintenance and Improvements Agreement (Off -site), the applicant has
identified Phases I and II in the Agreement. Will there be additional maps that reflect the internal
road system in Phases 1 and II?
Traffic Study: Traffic projection studies have recently been completed in the Mixed Use
Development Area based on build out level of anticipated development. With this development,
there will be a major increase in traffic, far beyond the ability of the present roadway system's ability
to provide an acceptable level of service. With the anticipated widening of I-25 and the development
along the outer roads, it will not be possible to increase the outer road's capacity by widening. In
order to provide north -south capacity, a four -lane road, spaced approximately one-half mile both east
and west of I-25 will be necessary.
Because this development proposal will generate a significant amount of traffic, the applicant should
provide a traffic analysis performed by a qualified traffic engineer. The analysis should identify
traffic generated by the development as well as the roadway improvements needed to mitigate the
increased traffic. Section 2.7 of the proposed Mixed Use Development Plan contains a guideline for
the preparation of a traffic study.
The applicant should also include in the sight design and construction the improvements identified
in the traffic study. Where arterial roads are proposed, the future alignment should be designed to
a 45 MPH design speed, taking into consideration future extensions of the arterial. The future
arterial right-of-way width of 110 feet should be dedicated with the recording of this plat.

RE: Western Dairymen Cooperative, Inc. Change of Zone
Dear Todd:
The School District has received an application package regarding a zone change
request for the Western Dairymen Cooperative, Inc. From the materials received
it appears that this development is solely for industrial and commercial uses.
If there is no residential component, there would be no objection from the
District for the industrial and commercial portions. If there should be a change
or there could be residential components to this development please notify the
School District so that we can determine the student yield. Any students in this
area would attend Mead Elementary, Mead Middle, and Skyline High. The
enrollment and capacity is as follows:
CAPACITY ENROLLMENT OVER

and f)ircclo,
In response to your request and in accordance with Senate Bill 35 (1972) i visited this property
to review the plat. A Preliminary Geoteclmical Engineering Report prepared by Terracon
(December 1995) was included in the submittal. My comments are summarized below.
I) Drainage. Drainage, both surface and subsurface, is the chief issue at the site. Neither a
drainage report nor a grading plan was included in the submittal, but both should be prepared for
the site before the final stage of development. The drainage study should discuss elements such
as runoff, surface water flows and water diversion to the existing ponds. As the topography is
nearly flat, grading should be carefully undertaken to create areas of positive drainage for the
building sites. As noted in the PUD Statement, construction must take place above calculated
flood plain elevations of Idaho Creek.
As to be expected in an area of ponds and flood plain, the water table is very high. Therefore,
subgrade construction is definitely not recommended. Construction on raised pads, where
feasible, should be considered. Pumps for dewatering during construction should be available on
site. As noted in the geotechnical report, the bedding for all subsurface utilities should be
capable of compensating for compaction and high groundwater conditions.
2) Soil. Most of the alluvial sediments will provide acceptable building substrates. Care must
be taken to excavate all organic material from a building site before construction begins, as this
material has a tendency to compact and settle substantially when loaded. Low blow counts
during penetration tests in borings 1, 7, 8 and 9 indicate organic sediments or fill may be present
in these locales. - -

In summary, development of' the site is possible by paying close attention to all details relating
to the surface drainage and following the recommendations prescribed in the geotechnical report.
I recommend approval of this site pending submission of a drainage and grading plan. Please
contact me if I can be of further assistance.

RE: CASE NUMBER: S-393
Dear Todd:
Thank you very much for sending the Western Dairymen Cooperative. Inc. PUD - Sketch Plan
application to the City of Longmont for our review and comment. The proposed PUD is located
in Del Camino south of SH119 and west of 1-25. It is 160 acres±. The uses proposed are light
industrial. highway commercial, residential, and recreational open space. The sketch plan does
not provide any information about the proposed residential area.
I understand that as pan of work done on the draft 1-25 MixeUse more than Development Areanes. The City
Plan, the
consultants have indicated that this section of SH 119 may require accommodate
ty
assumes that Weld County will obtain any additional right-of-way necessary
to these roadway improvements.
The application indicates that all the roadways will be private. As part of this review, Weld
proposed roads should provide access to other
County may wish to evaluate whether these
properties in the area (especially the road that intersects SH 119), and as a result, whether they
should be public roads. To promote a pedestrian environment. Weld County may want to require
sidewalks.
The recreational open space is proposed to be public open space. The application does not
provide any information as to what public entity is going to own and maintain this open space.
Gravel roads are proposed within this open space. Requiring paved roads may be better for
future air quality given the urban development and traffic anticipated in this area.
The application says that there will be a 10 ft. buffer along SH119. It does not provide any
detail concerning signing. landscaping. outdoor storage. etc. Consequently it is not apparent from
the sketch plan application that the proposed development of this PUD is consistent with the

quality development that both our communities envision. The City trusts that Weld County will
