This doesn't fit with the surrounding areas development. Since we are outside of Erie town limits we have no vote on the newly approved re-zoning around us. Adding more housing is unexecptable, this area is all rural and the airpark needs some open space. Our water is already has restricted usage and the water pressure would be decreased. It's not very good now. The traffic has increased with the a new houses down the road in Erie. More people are using Hwy 52 and getting onto it is almost impossible between the 7& 8 am time frame. More people will use our road as an access method to get to the high school and elementary school when they add the new development on Rd 5. The dust and noise has increaded due to more housing and traffic in the area already. Our wildlife is almost non-existent,I haven't seen any deer for two years here. Only a few foxes and coyotes are left. We moveed here to have some quiet space.If the growth pattern continues there will be no open rural area left. Please look at what's going on down here and use some restrictions on growth for this area. Sincerely, Wendy Lomeli EXHIBIT July 1, 1999 Department of Planning Services 1555 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 RE: CASE NUMBER Z-527 (Peaks at Mountain Viewl NAME: Tom Russell FOR: Change of Zone from Agricultural to PUD (Estate) LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Lot B of RE-2150; Part of the SE4 of Section 5, Ti N, R68W of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado While the concept of the proposed development, as currently presented, is bearable for many of the nearby Carmacar residents, we believe the following aspects need to be respectfully considered: • Reconfigure the entry road from its proposed intersection with Fir Avenue on the eastern boundary to a location approximately 120 feet south, thereby minimizing the adverse esthetic and traffic related impact on current Carmacar neighbors across Fir Avenue. • Reduce the current building envelope sizes from the current maximum of 36+% of lot size to a maximum of 25%. This would lessen the chance of a "sprawling" environment for building construction and subsequent visual obstructions to the west and also retain more of an open, agricultural atmosphere. • Increase the buffer zone between the proposed building envelopes and the existing Carmacar homes that will be more severely affected by shifting the envelopes an additional 50-100 feet further west. The buffer zone (edge of building envelope to lot edge) to the west is currently wider than they are to the east where there are more people impacted. The southern open space area is large, but provides little, if any, buffer for Carmacar residents. • Consider impact on water pressure and plan accordingly. Provide fire hydrant near intersection of entry road and Fir Avenue. • Ensure that the quality of homes is consistent with surrounding properties by defining housing as single family dwellings and excluding manufactured, modular and mobile homes through covenant stipulation. • Consider allowing Carmacar neighbors to use adjacent planned open space for equestrian and walking purposes, recognizing that there must be a liability concession from Carmacar residents. Yours truly, ifs r m Chester C. and Margaret J. Haun Weld County Planning Dept. 5446 Fir Avenue Erie, CO 80516 JUL 08 1999 RECEIVED is041t ‘ s MEMORANDUM TO: Eric Jerman, Planner DATE: July 7, 1999 ■ FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator it/Z SUBJECT: Z-527; Tom Russell (Peaks at Mountain View) COLORADO This is a follow up to my original memo dated June 23, 1999. At that time, there were two items in question: the requirement for paving of a PUD and accessing the PUD. The paving requirement has been waived by both directors. The access onto Fir Avenue within the Carmacar Ranchette Subdivision has been granted to a public right-of-way. Weld County Public Works Department has no conflict with either item. cc: Z-527 plan32 We!;+ Connntv Planning Dept. JUL 12 1999 RECEIVED /so. Weld COa$/ Mnnin^ ngpt. To: Eric Jerman and Weld County Planning Commission Members JUL 07 roc We are writing in regards to the zoning change from Agriculfik W..l (residential) on Lot B of RE-2150; Part of the SE4 of Section 5, 1 , Pt of the 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. We moved into the Carmacar subdivision two years and eight months ago. The main reason was the agricultural zoning. In general, Weld County drew us because of the history that exists around agriculture. Along with being able to raise horses and have other animals, we have a great view to the west of the entire mountain range. This area is still relatively quiet and peaceful. The traffic is becoming a major concern. Two years ago there was an average of between 30 and 40 cars per minute on Hwy. 52 in the middle of the afternoon. Now, getting on Hwy. 52 from WCR5 at 6:30 in the morning can take up to ten minutes. The back up between County Line Road and WCR5 is often two miles or more at 7:30 A.M.. Road 5 is slammed with dump trucks, along with many commuters who have discovered they can miss some of the heavier traffic on Hwy. 52 and Hwy. 7 by taking alternate routes. Additional homes in this immediate area will compound traffic problems immensely. Gaining access to this area through the Carmacar subdivision would not be acceptable. The roads are all dirt and the dust created now is a great concern to local residents. We would like to ask that you consider only a southern entry to this area, if in fact it is going to be developed. Hopefully this would encourage some of the traffic to go west to County Line Road and then north to the stop light at Hwy 52 or south to Hwy. 7. The agricultural atmosphere could be somewhat maintained if Lots of five acres or more could be mandated by those of you who have that power. If we do not have your support on this critical issue we will soon blend in with the high density housing that has already destroyed the natural beauty of eastern Boulder County and many other areas along the Front Range. Lots of 5 acres or more would encourage people, who build or buy, to have some form of livestock. It also would prevent the view from being totally blocked for those of us who already live here. EXHIBIT I ( as-7 Other concerns we have include the following: 1) Availability of water, or the lack thereof. For the last two summers' we have been asked to limit water usage. Where will the water come from? 2) Sewage disposal - In an area that is not annexed, is it true that all the residences will have to have septic tanks? 3) How much open space is required for each acre developed? 4) Would you consider buying the right to develop from a landowner? Since we are so close to the new wetlands the area just west of Carmacar would be an ideal location for Open Space. This would serve the existing area as well as future development to the west toward County Line Road. We are asking that you not change the zoning on the above listed property from agricultural to residential. This is still an agricultural community. Please don't take that away from us. We would like to respectively request that you, as members of the County Planning Commission; take these suggestions seriously in due respect of all of the residents of this region. Please don't hesitate to call us, at 303-828-9469, if you have questions. Sincerely, Weld County Planning Dept.. JUL 07 1999 it , RECEIVED Larry & Judy Leatherman 5616 Fir Avenue Erie, CO. 80516 Hello
