Proposed Land Uses
Bower North has a diverse mix of residential homes consisting of single family detached and attached
products on both rural and suburban zoned planning areas. The concept plan complies with the current,
Town comprehensive plan. The community will be designed with an organization of streetscapes,
detached walks, parks, open space, and connected trail systems. Our project will continue Severance's
connection to existing and future neighborhoods and align with the Town's future growth strategies.
The theme of the development is to fit within Severance's design and community character, building on
the contemporary farm, craftsman, and agrarian design vernacular of the region. The neighborhood
planning areas will be comprised of a diverse mix of lot sizes and residential product types.

Annexation Agreement
Per Colorado Revised Statutes 2013 134 Title 134, an agreement will be drafted between the property
owner and municipality outlining the responsibilities of each party.
Domestic Water and Sanitary Sewer
The Site is located within the North Weld County Water District (NWCWD) which will provide domestic
water and sanitary sewer treatment for the project.
• Water
There are existing NWCWD domestic waterlines adjacent to the Site, and it is anticipated that
connections to the mains will be made to service the development in the future. Currently
NWCWD has a moratorium on providing additional water taps for single-family residential units.
This is due to a lack of infrastructure within the area for NWCWD to provide the quantity of water
within their system to serve additional units in the Town of Severance and surrounding area.
3 1 Bower North - Severance, CO. Impact Report 5.21.24
Currently NWCWD is working on designs to increase their capacity and provide domestic water
service to the Town of Severance. Timing for the completion of this project is currently unknown,
and it may be a few years until domestic water taps are available in the Town.
The western half of the site is zoned for larger lots, and individual domestic wells may be utilized
to service these lots. The option for a small domestic water system may be considered to serve
these lots as well.
• Sewer
Existing sanitary sewer main lines are located in the vicinity of the Site, and it is anticipated that
sanitary sewer flows will be conveyed to the northeast where they will tie into the existing sewer
system. Based upon maps and information provided by NWCWD and the Town, the sanitary sewer
mains have the capacity to service the development of the Site. However, the Town does not
currently have a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and flows are routed to the Windsor
Treatment Facility which is currently at capacity. Currently Windsor is working on design to
expand their WWTP. The Town of Severance is working directly with Windsor to acquire additional
capacity within the WWTP to serve upcoming developments.
The western half of the site is zoned for larger lots, and based on the size of these lots that are
developed individual septic systems may be utilized to service these lots.
Traffic Impacts
The proposed densities of the development have been accounted for in the Town's Comprehensive Plan
as well as Master Transportation Planning. A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) has been prepared to analyze the
traffic generated by the development and the impacts on the surrounding roadways. The Site is not
anticipated to have a negative impact the Town's existing roadway system. Auxiliary and turn lanes with
be constructed for the access points in and out of the Site along the main arterial roadways adjacent to
the Site.
Municipal Services
The area to be annexed as described by the attached legal description will receive the following
municipal services from the stated agencies:
• Police: Town of Severance Police. The Bower North neighborhood will not require additional, special
security measures and can be patrolled as part of the Severance Police Department.
• Fire & Emergency Services: Windsor Severance Fire Rescue. Roadways and access will comply with
Town standards. Construction methods and fire prevention will adhere to building codes.
• Schools: Weld County RE -4 District.
• Library District: Clearview Library District
• Electric/Communication Service: United Power
4' Bower North - Severance, CO. Impact Report 6.21.24
Economic Impact
A Metropolitan District is anticipated to be established as the authority to finance all public
improvements within and adjacent to the property. The district will convey public infrastructure to the
Town and will establish the means for ongoing maintenance. The district will also provide the
administration and control services for the community such as establishing and enforcing the
architectural standards and lot landscaping requirements. The details of the district's organization,
obligations and financial structure will be provided in a formal Service Plan conforming to all legal
standards.
The community is designed to attract a diverse base of residents that will value the community and
appreciate the Town of Severance. Residents will be able to visit the town and surrounding
communities through connected open spaces and streetscapes, adding to the economic growth and
local spending within the area. Existing commercial and retail locations will be further supported by
these community residents, and increased demand for services will attract additional businesses adding
to the Town's tax base.
School District Impact
Bower North property is within the Weld County School District RE -4. The Bower team has initiated
contact with the district and will work with the District and Town to determine student generation by
new housing.
Environmental Impacts
Existing land use has been agriculture and farmland. There is an irrigation ditch and small irrigation pond
in the central area of the property. Detention of storm water runoff will be accommodated in ponds
incorporated into public open spaces and additional storage above the operational level of the reservoir.
The stormwater design will be accomplished by identifying specific grading and drainage patterns
relative to the site and applying standard practices for this region for conveyance and detention. The
stormwater design will be based on the subdivision layout and existing topography. The internal street
system will be used to convey stormwater runoff to the detention system within the open spaces. The
runoff will be mitigated by the detention system and released at a historic rate.
The drainage design and a final report will be completed and provided for review and approval. It is not
anticipated that existing systems downstream of the subdivision will require modification to
accommodate the development since historic rates will be maintained.
