A portion of the property lies along the Eaton Draw and is within the 100-year Flood Plain. This area would probably be used for park and drainage purposes. It is assumed, for the purposes of this report,the remaining area would contain about 200 homes. The property is bounded by Weld County Road 74 V2 on the north and Weld County Road 39 on the east. This report is provided as per state statute and contains information on the impact the proposed development may have on the current infrastructure of the Town of Eaton. WATER The town buys treated water from the North Weld County Water District through two master meters. Our contract includes a maximum flow of 2 million gallons of water per day or a total of 730 million gallons per year. During the last three years the town purchased an average of 139,500,000 gallons per year or 19%of system capacity. Peak flows are currently at 1,382,400 gallons per day or 69%of capacity. At the present time we have 1,050 taps on the system with an average monthly use of 12,400 gallons per tap per month. With 298 potential taps left in the Hawkstone Development the following demand is added to the system: Present Annual Water Usage: 139,500,000 gallons Hawkstone(298 x 12,400 x 12)= 44,342,400 gallons Kamm (200 x 12,400 x 12) = 29,760,000 gallons 213,602,400 gallons The yearly average use including the Kamm Project of 213,602,400 gallons is 29% of the system capacity. Peak flows are estimated at 1,400,000 gallons per day or 70%of system capacity. Parks and open space areas can be irrigated with well water. As with all annexations, raw water rights will have to be dedicated to the Town in sufficient quantities to serve this new area. SEWER The Town of Eaton Sewage Treatment Plant is designed and has been permitted by the Colorado Department of Health for the following loads: 1) Flow into the plant=340,000 gallons per day 2) BOD5 (A measure of oxygen demand to break down solids) = 887 pounds per day based on a 30 day average The average loads for the last six months (January—June) are as follows: 1) Flow= 150,000 gallons per day or 44%of capacity 0 \ �� P Pr, " c A �' />3 • 5o ' (EP) 982643 2) BOD5= 311.27 pounds per day or 35%of capacity There are now 1,107 taps on the system. Using the figures above the following per tap loads are: 1) Flow = 135.5 gallons per day per tap(150,000= 1,107) 2) BOD5= .28 pounds per day per tap (311.27- 1,107) The build out at Hawkstone and East Eaton's request for service would add the following: 1) Hawkstone (298 taps) = 40,379 gallons per day 83.44 lbs. per day 2) East Eaton(55 taps) = 7,452 gallons per day 15.4 lbs. per day Loads for the 200 homes in the Kamm Annexations would be: 1) Flow = (200 x 135.5) = 27,100 gallons per day 2) BOD5=(200 x .28) = 56 lbs. per day Total estimated loads on the plant are then: Flow BOD5 Current load = 150,000 g.p.d. 311.27 lbs. per day Hawkstone = 40,379 g.p.d.. 83.44 lbs. per day East Eaton = 7,452 g.p.d. 15.4 lbs. per day Kamm = 27,100g.p.d. 56.0 lbs. per day 224,931 g.p.d. 466.11 lbs. per day or 66% of capacity or 53% of capacity According to our permit at 80%of capacity plans for plant expansion should begin— At 95% construction should begin. The town has already begun a Sewer Plant Construction Fund with a current balance of$150,619. Assuming all future tap fees are placed in this fund then it would grow as follows: - Current Balance $150,619 - 1998 Taps(As of 7/20/98) 13,000 - East Eaton 99,000 - Hawkstone 298,000 - Kamm 200.000 $771,619 w/o interest 2 The $771,619 plus interest earned through the years will finance a good size expansion to the existing plant. (Note: the existing plant was completed in 1977 at a cost of$475,000) STORM DRAINAGE As mentioned earlier a portion of this development lies along the Eaton Draw. This area would be the logical location for the drainage facilities. By ordinance the developer will be required to submit a drainage plan which will include the location and size of storm sewer lines and detention ponds. Once these improvements are completed and approved they become the responsibility of the town to maintain. STREETS The town currently maintains 15.15 miles of streets. Streets within the Kamm Annexation could add nearly a mile to that total. The Highway Users Tax Fund money the town receives from the state is based on the street mileage maintained along with other factors. As this mileage increases, so too, does the Highway Users Tax Fund Revenue. SCHOOLS Enrollment in the Eaton School District has been very stable over the last 4—5 years. Projections for the 1998 —99 school year show a slight decline in total enrollment of nearly 1%. Total capacity for all grades is 1,500 students with 1,338 students projected for the 1998 —99 year or 89.2%of capacity. Each dwelling unit in the school district yields .67 students. An additional 200 homes could generate 134 students which would fill the existing facilities to 98.1% of capacity. The district has completed a strategic plan and is currently in the process of implementing that plan as follows: 1) The Eaton School District is reviewing both short term and long term facility needs as outlined in our Strategic Plan that was adopted in March of 1997. 2) Currently they are looking at expanding the Galeton Elementary School with 2 classrooms that would not only enhance current shortages in facilities but also allow the District to accommodate larger classes that are currently moving through the elementary system. 3 3) In addition,they are in their first year of a 3-year grant to remodel/restore the historic 1928 high school building. The District along with the Colorado Historical Society is starting on the interior and exterior restoration at the high school this summer. This will be a combined project that will be completed in the year 2000. 4) An update of technology within the district is also being reviewed. The District is looking at getting into place the infrastructure and technology needed in order to prepare students for an information-based global society. 5) The Eaton School District is monitoring annual student enrollment, building trends within the District, and other factors to determine the needs of the District in order to best serve the students within the community. 4 Hello
