Q FROM: Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator W"-i
COLORADO• �
SUBJECT: 48(�Moriah Estates/Jim Scott
The Weld County Public Works Department has reviewed this proposal. This project falls primarily under the
purview of the Weld County Planned Unit Development Standards. In the development guide requirements, the
applicant has chosen Option lwhich involves a Specific Development Guide submittal. Our requirements are as
follows:
1. WCR 72: WCR 72 is designated on the Transportation Plan Map as a local paved road and is
maintained by Weld County. North Shores at Windsor, directly south of this PUD, has been annexed
by the City of Windsor. Shiloh Estates, the adjacent subdivision directly east, is still within the
County. A traffic count taken on June 12, 1998, at both ends of the mile, reflect approximately 900
vehicles in a 24 hour period. This count shall change the existing status from a local paved road
to a Collector Status road. This will be noted and changed on the updated version of the
Transportation Plan Map.
2. Storm Water Drainage Plan: A statement describing how the applicant intends to handle storm
water drainage was supplied by Foundations Engineering at the sketch plan stage. Additional
calculations, signature, and a stamp will be required prior to recording the plat.
3. Signs: The applicant shall supply a designated street sign and stop sign at the appropriate location
adjacent to WCR 72.
4. Easements: The Utility Board usually requires a 15-foot perimeter easement around the proposed
PUD. The applicant may be asked to place an easement adjacent to WCR 72 and the property line
abutting Shiloh Estates. All these other items may be discussed and resolved at the utility board
meeting.
5. Acceleration Lane: Due to the additional amount of traffic on WCR 72, the change of status from
a local road to a collector, and the additional traffic created from the PUD, a paved acceleration lane
shall be required. This shall be placed on the plat prior to recording.

RE: Case Number S-464
Dear Mr. Ballstadt:
The Town of Severance Board of Trustees has decided that approval of the
aforementioned Recorded Exemption is not in the best interest of the Town. First, it conflicts
with the Town's long-term growth plan; and second, the property is situated in close proximity to
the Town's urban growth boundary. Therefore, the Town of Severance recommends disapproval
of RE-2223.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the.
Very trulyly yours, ,

As stated previously, the applicant has not submitted evidence that public water can be obtained
from North Weld County Water District, or that the District has any knowledge of this proposal.
The applicant shall provide evidence of public water prior to proceeding with a change of zone
application.
In a referral response received June 30, 1998, the Weld County Health Department indicated
that the application materials were not adequate to make a complete referral response. As
stated in a letter dated June 29, 1998 and the Health Department referral, the applicant shall
submit additional information prior to submitting a change of zone application. A change of zone
application will not be accepted until the Health Department has received adequate sketch plan
information.
Each of the aforementioned environmental concerns shall be addressed in future applications.
Section 6.3.5.2.7 of the PUD Ordinance states, "All PUD's containing a residential element shall
provide for a 15% common open space allocation, unless otherwise stated in'the MUD
Ordinance. Departure from this standard will be considered and may be approved by the
Department of Planning Services' staff as long as the intent of this Ordinance and the MUD
Ordinance have been met." The application proposes 49.8% of the site to be dedicated to open
space, the majority of which (27.55 acres) is to be planted in grass hay. The application
indicates that 4.1 acres (6.32% of the entire site)will be dedicated to walking/jogging trails,
however, details pertaining to landscaping and maintenance are not addressed. Future
applications shall address trail landscaping and maintenance. Section 4.2.5.13 also states, "A
general landscaping plan for the PUD describing the general species type, size and location of
existing and proposed planting materials and amenities. The estimated percentage of
landscaping areas in the PUD shall be included, along with the location of parks and common
open space." Future applications shall address the landscaping and maintenance of the open
space area should farming operations cease.
Section 6.3.6 specifies that signage within a PUD shall adhere to all requirements in the PUD,
Zoning and MUD Ordinances. All permanent signs and sign structures shall be delineated on
the plat and shall require building permits.
The remaining major components include Service Provision Impacts, Landscaping Elements,
Site Design, Common Open Space Usage, MUD Impacts and Intergovernmental Agreement
Impacts which have been addressed elsewhere in these comments.
SUMMARY
Due to several substantial concerns, the Department of Planning Services has determined that,
as proposed, the application as proposed clearly does not meet the intent of the Weld County's
adopted plans and ordinances. Staff recommends that the applicant continue to pursue
annexation to the Town of Windsor.
Should the applicant wish to proceed through the Weld County PUD process, it should be clear
that staff will not recommend approval of urban scale development in a non-urban area. If the
applicant makes the required changes to address staff concerns, this would undoubtedly
constitute a substantial change and will necessitate beginning with a new PUD Sketch Plan
application.

Also, prior to proceeding any further, the applicant shall submit evidence that a commitment for
all public water taps has been obtained from North Weld County Water District and submit the
required information to the Weld County Health Department.
Please review the enclosed materials and then call to schedule an appointment if you desire a
meeting time. The purpose of the meeting will be to familiarize you with the PUD District
application procedure and discuss any problems or concerns identified in this letter. Once
again, comments made during the Sketch Plan phase of the PUD and agency referral responses
may not be all inclusive,.as other concerns or issues may arise during the remaining application
processes. .

LAND USE PLAN
DEPICTION: Very Low Density Single-family Residential located with the Town's

RECOMMENDATION: Recommend denial of Rezoning Request based upon the comments
outlined below
DISCUSSION:
The Applicant, James Scott, is requesting approval of a rezoning request to have approximately 65
acres rezoned from Agricultural to Estate—Planned Unit Development in order to develop a 24-estate
lot subdivision north of the North Shores Subdivision and west of the Shiloh Subdivision. Per the
enclosed copy of the July 2, 1998 Windsor Planning Commission minutes, the Applicant had requested
approval of this proposed subdivision, with the subdivision being allowed to be developed in Weld
County.
At the July 2, 1998 meeting, the Windsor Planning Commission recommended that this proposed
subdivision request be denied since the property is located within the Town's Growth Management
Area Boundary, and that the Applicant should be required to file an annexation petition with Windsor
for possible annexation to the Town. Since (a) the proposed subdivision lies within the Town's
Growth Management Area Boundary, and (b) the proposed lot sizes and the proposed septic tank
layout of the subdivision still do not meet the Town's minimum standards for estate lots, staff
recommends that the Windsor Planning Commission recommend to the Weld County Department of
Planning Services denial of this rezoning request.

Finally, in addition to the two items outlined above, staff has also determined that the following
deficiencies are also present with this proposal:
1. There aren't any trails or park land shown for the project;
2. There needs to be a street light at the intersection of WCR 72;
3. Show right-of-way width as fifty feet (50') south of Section Line on WCR 72 as North
Shores had previously dedicated the additional twenty feet(20')of right-of-way.
4. The Town would like to discuss the extension of the south end of the proposed water
main in Moriah Estates south across WCR 72 into the North Shores Subdivision. It
could be connected to the existing water main in North Shores for reinforcement of the
water supply; and
5. Recommend that a water main be constructed between lots 18 and 19 in Moriah
Estates and connected to the existing water main in Shiloh Estates fin reinforcement of
the water supply for the two subdivisions.

Re: Moriah Estates Water Budget
Dear Mr. Scott:
Wright Water Engineers, Inc. (WWE) has completed its evaluation of the predevelopment and
postdevelopment groundwater budget associated with the proposed Moriah Estates subdivision.
This analysis was requested by you in response to issues raised by the Colorado Geological
Survey(COS) in their standard review of your subdivision plan. In a letter from the CGS to the
Weld County Planning Department on December 14, 1998, they indicated the usefulness of
preparing a water budget to estimate bow much the hydrologic system would be affected by the
change from irrigated agricultural land to residential subdivision with individual septic systems.
This report has been prepared to address this issue.
ANALYSIS
Using information available to WWE, including more than thirty-five years of corporate
experience, a groundwater budget was prepared and compared for both the predevelopment and
postdevelopment scenarios. The predevelopment land use has historically been irrigation of
approximately 40 acres of pasture grass, alfalfa, and corn. The postdevelopment groundwater
budget was developed based on the Moriah Estates topographic survey map dated April 17, 1998
prepared by Intermill Land Surveyors, Inc. of Loveland, CO. This map shows twenty-four 1±-
acre lots within an area totaling approximately 65.0 acres. This development includes
approximately 30 acres of open space with the remaining approximately 10 acres consumed in
roadway and ditch right-of-way and easements.
Predevelopment Water Budget
WWE estimates that approximately 40 acres of pasture grass, alfalfa, and corn were historically
irrigated on the subject parcel. Using the modified Blaney-Criddle consumptive use analysis
with an altitude correction factor, WWE determined that the potential evapotranspiration
associated with the average year irrigation of the three equally distributed crop types is
approximately 1.8 acre-Set per acre.

Mr. Jim Scott
January 18. 1999
Page 2
According to information provided by you, the property has water rights which typically yield
approximately 91.3 acre-feet per year (29,741,760 gallons). Assuming a 70 percent irrigation
efficiency, this equates to an average year water supply available for consumptive use supply of
approximately 1.6 acre-feet per acre. This available water supply (1.6 acre-feet/acre) is less than
the estimated potential evapotranspiration of irrigation water, therefore, the available supply
controls the historic consumptive use. From this, WWE has calculated that the historic
consumptive use on the 40 acres averages approximately 64 acre-fret per year.
If the subject property has water rights totaling 91.3 acre-feet per year and has historically
provided an average consumptive use of approximately 64 acre-feet per year, an excess amount
of 27.3 acne-feet has been generated. It is assumed that 50 percent of this excess was attributable
to groundwater recharge(13.65 acre-feet per year)while the remainder was lost to runoff. If this
amount of groundwater is evenly distributed over the growing season (May 1 through September
15), the average daily contribution to the groundwater system of approximately 0.1 acre-feet per
day.
Postdevelopment Water Budget
The proposed residential development consists of 24 lots of 1.0+-acre size for single family
home construction estimated at approximately 2500+ square-feet. According to information
provided by you, the subdivision east of the property (Shiloh Estates) is of similar design with
each resident maintaining approximately 12,000 square-feet of lawn and garden area. Water
supplied to the proposed subdivision is by municipal sources and wastewater disposal will be by
individual sewage disposal systems at each lot location.
The proposed Moriah Estates subdivision has approximately 30 acres of open area which is
planned to be planted In native pasture grass. Current plans are to get one cutting from the open
areas, but that no irrigation will occur there.
Assuming an average of 350 gallons per day per resident for in-house water usage, WWE
estimates that approximately 128,000 gallons per year per lot(0.39 acre-feet per year per lot)will
be used. As a result, the 24 lot subdivision will use approximately 9.4 acre-feet per year. These
inside household uses are assumed to be evenly distributed over the entire year.
It is generally assumed that individual septic tank and leachfield systems return approximately 90
percent of the in-house water uses into the subsurface. Therefore, approximately 8.5 acre-feet
per year of the 9.4 acre-feet of annual use will become recharge to the groundwater system.
Dividing this amount by 365 days produces an average daily contribution to the groundwater of
approximately 0.023 acre-feet per day.
Additional water uses in the proposed subdivision will be for irrigating lawns and gardens. The
estimated potential evapotranspiration associated with turf grass is approximately 2.1 acre-feet
per acre on average. Using this value, it is estimated that approximately 0.59 acre-feet of water
99Osig
Mr. Jim Scott
January 18, 1999
Page 3
per residence per year will be used by irrigated plants and grasses (i.e., approximately 14.1 acre-
feet per year total)resulting in a total water use for lawn and garden irrigation.
Assuming an irrigation efficiency of 80 percent, it is estimated that about 17.6 acre-feet per year
will be diverted for lawn and garden purposes. Subtracting 14.1 from 17.6 produces an excess
water diversion of approximately 3.5 acre-feet per year. It is again assumed that approximately
50 percent of this value (1.75 acre-feet per year) will recharge the groundwater system. Using
the same number of irrigation days as in the calculations for the predevelopment water lfudget
(138 days), a per daily irrigation contribution to groundwater recharge is estimated at
approximately 0.013 acre-feet per day.
SUMMARY
The summarization of the predevelopment and postdevelopment water budget analysis can be
found in the attached Table I. This table shows the average daily, average monthly, and yearly
groundwater recharge contribution from each scenario. A comparison of these numbers on an
annual basis shows that the postdevelopment groundwater recharge is less than 75 percent of the
total annual contribution to groundwater from the predevelopment irrigation. In addition, this
groundwater recharge occurs under the postdevelopment scenario over a twelve month period
versus approximately four and one-half months under the predevelopment scenario. This
difference in values is further borne out by comparing the potential monthly groundwater
recharge during the irrigation season where the maximum postdevelopment value is less than
half of that for the predevelopment value.
It should be noted that in conducting this analysis, WWE used conservative values for
predevelopment irrigation efficiencies to minimize the amount of potential groundwater recharge
under that scenario. Conversely, WWE used a conservatively small irrigation efficiency for
landscape irrigation to maximize the potential amount of groundwater which may recharge the
groundwater under the postdevelopment scenario.
Lastly, it should be noted that the West Branch of the Chaldgren Lateral on the western edge of
the property will be lined with a concrete channel as part of the site development. Insufficient
information was available from geotechnical analysis for WWE to make an assessment of the
amount of potential recharge to the groundwater from irrigation ditch losses. However, the
lining of the irrigation ditch in this portion of the property can only reduce the potential recharge
to groundwater under the postdevelopment scenario.
Mr. Jim Scott
January 1g, 1999
Page 4
CONCLUSIONS
WWE's comparison of the predevelopment and postdevelopment groundwater recharge potential
for the Moriah Estates property indicates that the postdevelopment scenario will contribute on
average a smaller average daily, average monthly, and average annual recharge contribution to
the groundwater system than that historically occurring from the predevelopment irrigated
cropland.
