IMPACT REPORT n
KAMM ANNEXATION
CLE..
The proposed Kamm Annexation contains about 73 acres, all of which is planned
for residential use. 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) 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.
