Amendment to the Weld County Comprehensive Plan 147-J PLANNER: Gloria Dunn Gloria Dunn presented a brief summary of the proposal and entered a favorable recommendation from the Department of Planning Services into the record as written. Ms. Dunn explained that the Important Wildlife Habitat Areas Map 5, dated approximately 1987, does not have a lot of detail. For example, it does not give an orientation of the location of the wildlife habitat areas in relation to concentrations of population or county roads. The proposed map, Potential for Impact to Wildlife Habitat, found on page one of Colorado Division of Wildlife. House Bill 1041,Significant Wildlife Habitat Maps.Weld County, Colorado,July 1996, is up to date and graphic. The second page of the map book illustrates Weld County land use, and the remainder of the book gives specific data on selected species sampled or observed in Weld County. Ms. Dunn explained that this document, along with Colorado's Little Fish Book, are to be used as reference or backup material when interpreting the Potential for Impact to Wildlife Habitat map. The Department of Planning Services'staff recommends approval of this amendment to replace the existing Important Wildlife Habitat Areas Map 5 with the map title Potential for Impact to Wildlife Habitat. The staff is also requesting that the remainder of the documents be accepted into the record for reference purposes in interpreting the new map. Ann Garrison questioned the location of the swift fox habitat on the map. It was determined there was a color reproduction problem on the books distributed to the members. Cristie Nickles stated the map incorrectly identified the gravel road north of Briggsdale as State Highway 392. This is actually County Road 390. Marie Koolstra stated the map shows State Highway 66 as running north and south rather than east and west. Gloria agreed that it is misleading because the highway is identified vertically instead of horizontally. Gloria asked the members of the Planning Commission if they wanted the Department of Planning Services to bring back the maps for further review. Ann Garrison stated she didn't want to see the map again,she just INVENTORY OF ITEMS SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION Proposed amendment (change wildlife habitat map) to Weld County Comprehensive Plan 147-J Submitted or Prepared Prior to Hearing At Hearing 1.

The purpose of the WRIS maps for Weld County is to assist your agency and other interested persons with planning, for land use in a manner that will have the least negative impact to Colorado's wildlife resource. These maps have been provided to your agency to be used as needed. The Division of Wildlife- authorizes the Weld County Department of Planning Services to reproduce the maps as necessary for use in land use planning. The only stipulation for reproduction is that the Division logo and narrative box must be included on any copy. At this time the WRIS maps are not protected by copyright. This may change in the near future, however. I will notify your Department of any change in copyright status. Please feel free to contact me at 352-2143 if you need clarification on issues surrounding your authority to provide copies to other parties. Once again, We appreciate the effort you've made in helping us complete this project! I'll be in touch on the final approval process in January.
