RE: 70 Acres on Highway#119 in the W 1/2 SW 1/4 Sec 5, TWP 2N, Rg 68 W.
Dear Mrs. Kirkmeyer,
I appreciate being able to meet with you last Tuesday at your office. You
were most generous with your time.
I am pleased that you will look into the thing that would allow us to make
an application for a plat on our 70 acres.
With the commitment we have for 50 water taps from Left Hand Water
District,we would like to apply for a subdivision plat on our 70 acres. We
understand we could get a final plat only the number of lots we have a firm
commitment for water taps. We would final plat the balance of the lots, as taps
become available. I also understand that any entitlements are good for only three
years. This prevents the development of a plan that is outdated.
I honor such people like you that give so much time and effort to serve the
public.
I would like to hear from you when you have come to some conclusion.
Sincerely,
(%8142144514-

Dear Mr. Carlson,
The Board of County Commissioners met to discuss their policy concerning adequacy of water. The
Board has historically based the determination of adequacy of water upon the ability of an applicant
to demonstrate that water will be available for the proposed development, and a guarantee of this
availability has been extended in a contractual form. The Board did discuss the possibility of
recognizing additional documentation and contractual agreements to validate adequacy of water.
The Water District has indicated an interest in negotiating with developers in the affected area to
obtain commitments for financing infrastructure expansions to serve development in the affected
area. The financing aspects of obtaining this commitment from the water provider have always been
the responsibility of the developer.
The Weld County Commissioners are aware that Left Hand Water District is waiting approval for
1041 review by the Boulder County Commissioners, and they understand the possible time delays
associated with this review. They are, nevertheless, reluctant to change their policy on water
adequacy. The Board has historically relied upon this policy, and believes it is in the best interest
of Weld County to maintain tangible evidence of water availability.
The Board did discuss the possibility of recognizing additional documentation and contractual
agreements to validate adequacy of water. Should you wish for the Department of Planning Service
to review possible alternatives I would welcome the opportunity to do so. I may be reached at the
above address and telephone number.
Sincerely,
Monica Daniels-Mika, AICP
