(Case Number: Z-521). When I reviewed the covenants, I missed Section XVII which referred to the requirements of the Fire District and the requirement that all homes be provided with automatic fire sprinkler systems. The issue is considered resolved and the District has no objection to the proposed zoning change. We appreciate being involved in the planning process. Should you have any questions, please contact me at(303) 772-0710.

Planning DATE: February 17 e- • ate CFROM: Trevor Jiricek, W.C. Health Departme , CASE NO.: Z-521 NAME: William Harper COLORADO The Weld County Health Department has reviewed this proposal. It appears that the applicant has adequately addressed all of our Department's questions and concerns that were outlined during the sketch plan stage. As you recall, our questions and concerns were described in a memo addressed to you dated November 20, 1999. The application has satisfied PUD Ordinance No. 197 in regard to water and sewer service. Water will be provided by the Little Thompson Water District and sewer will be provided by an on-site sewage treatment plant. The sewer treatment plant is permitted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (Permit No. COG-582017). The application also appears to adequately address all potential environmental impacts as required in 6.3.1 of the PUD Ordinance. During field observation of the site, our staff observed that in the vicinity of the proposed development there were numerous small acreage homes in the vicinity of the site. Many of these homes have livestock that include but may not be limited to cows and horses. It is our opinion that any future property owner should be made aware that these agricultural uses exist and that they may be exposed to noise, dust, flies, odors, etc. in excess of the common urban experience. As a result, we recommend that the "Right to Farm" covenant be required to be placed on any recorded plat. In addition to the above, we recommend that the following conditions be part of any approval: 1) The Homeowners Association shall be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the sewage treatment plant, including controlling any odors that may emanate from the plant. The Association shall also assure that all conditions of the plants Discharge Permit (Colorado Discharge Permit System No. COG-582017) are met and complied with. 2) Any resident of the property forfeits their right to complain to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment or the Weld County Health Department concerning any odors that may emanate from the on-site sewage treatment plant or lagoon. Any issues concerning odors from the plant or lagoon should be directed to the Homeowners Association. 3) The development shall obtain water service from the Little Thompson Water District. 4) The property is subject to Regulation No. 2 of the Colorado Air Pollution Control Regulations pertaining to odor. If you have any questions, please call me at extension 2232.

They wish to change the zoning from ag with a nursing home to zoned for an apartment complex and 4 estate lots . This is the old nursing home on WCR 32 and west of WCR 13 . There are ten acres on the site on which they will convert the nursing home to 18 apartments, 4 approximately 1 acre lots and 2 acres of open space . We had done a previous review of this property back in November with no comments . Prime Farmland: The site has not been used for agriculture for over 25 years and their is no irrigation water on the site . The (82) wiley-colby soils are prime if irrigated. Water Quality: Our concern with water quality relates to the fact that on the four, 1 acre lots that the covenants say that they can keep 1 horse or cow or 2 sheep. This could potentially lead to runoff problems into Thomas Lake . The size of houses called for makes for the largest area for an animal to be about 0. 8 acres . With the feed and manure production from each of these lots and the drainage to the lake there could be a potential of a large amount of animal waste moving directly into the lake from a heavy rainstorm. Noxious Weed Control: The area disturbed for road and house building will need to be reseeded to prevent invasion by noxious weeds . If livestock are grazed the landowners need to be diligent in controlling weeds on their pastures . Soils Limitations: Both soils have moderate limitations for buildings, because of depth of rock and shrink-swell potential . Other Concerns : There is a great potential for erosion on these small lots if animals are allowed on the site. These lane animals could very quickly turn parts of the 4 lots into all TIT CONSERVATION - DEVELOPMENT - SELF-GOVERNMENT lots . Once these lots are denuded then the chances for adverse impacts of by wind and water erosion are greatly increased. The other problem that goes with this is the disposal of the animal waste from these lots . We would recommend removing from the covenants the provision for 1 large animal per lot . Summary Comments: The biggest concern we have is with the impact of having large animals on the 1 acre lots . This poses potential water quality problems and soil erosion problems . We would recommend that the 1 animal provision be removed from the covenants Thank you for the opportunity to comment . / G .t •I )N LI..L/ft 3 cZ7 St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1J 395 South Pratt Parkway • Longmont • CO • 80501-6499 303-776-6200/449-4978 • FAX 303-682-7343 February 1,1999 Weld County Planning lt<,:�,, Ben Patton Weld County Department of Planning Services 1400 N. 17th Ave. FEB it Greeley, Co 80631 RE: William Harper Thomas Lake Estate/R-4 RECEIVED Dear Ben: Thank you for referring the William Harper Thomas Lake Estate/R-4 to the School District. The projected student impact upon the St. Vrain Valley School District of 4 new single-family lots and 18 multiple family units on 10 acres is a total of 7 students. Any students living in this subdivision would attend Mead Elementary School, Mead Middle School, and Skyline High School under the present school boundaries. However, due to potential growth in these schools this development and other existing developments in this feeder could be placed in another attendance area in the future. Bus transportation would be required. THIS PROPOSED 3EVELC 1995-99 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS* _ Building Oct. 98 Student Projected Over Total # of Total Cum.

While this development does not impact the middle and senior high schools capacity, the elementary is already over capacity. In addition, there are other approved developments in these attendance areas which will, together with this proposal, have a significant cumulative impact on these schools. As the volume of developments increases in the Mead Elementary area with no alleviation of the existing overcrowded conditions, the ability to provide the same quality education for these new students that is provided students in other areas becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore, the District would typically oppose this development because it adds to the enrollment of an already overcrowded school. However, the District has had conversations with Mr. Harper about a cash-in-lieu agreement and has forwarded an agreement for signature. This agreement would include the calculation of an appropriate cash in-lieu of land dedication fee to address the capacity concerns at these schools (per the attached chart). Once this agreement has been signed the District would not oppose this proposal. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

The following items should be noted on the blueprints at the time building permits are applied for. 1. Provide two complete blueprints including engineered foundations for each separate residential lot. 2. Provide two sets of blueprints for the apartment house. Floor plans should include details of the one-Hour- Fire Resistive construction of the walls and floors separating dwelling units. Floor plans may require corridors to be of One-Hour- Fire Resistive construction. The existing fire alarm system if required may be adequate. When the blueprints are reviewed there, may be additional requirements. Please call or write our office if you have any questions. Sin ely, oe70 Roger Vigil Plans Examiner cc.
