These require- ments must be met by every urban area before they, or any local public Agency within them, are eligible for those grants. S he term "areawide," as used in these requirements, means the entire urban area plus the adjacent area likely to become urbanized within the next 20 years as a minimum. It is necessary that an official agency be established t o do comprehensive planning and programming for this area, that it have representation on it from those units of general local government (counties and cities) containing at least 90% of the area's population, and that the agreement establishing it be "open-ended" so that other local governmental entities within the area may join if they wish to do so. The term "comprehensive planning and programming" means, first, an integrated plan for future land -use, transportation, schools, water and sewer facilities, parks, playgrounds and other open -space, and all other components of the urban area's physical plan. Secondly, it means a 5 to 10 year schedule of when -needed facilities should be built with recommendations as to how they should be financed. The attached Planning Area Determination defines the minimum representation and area coverage for an areawide planning agency in your area that will meet this Department's present requirements. We are notifying you of this determina- tion so that, in the event you are considering making an application for a Federal grant program, you will have adequate time to meet these requirements and will not be held up after making the grant application. The full planning requirements do not take effect immediately. At present the Department is operating on "interim planning requirements," which do have to be met as of now. These are: a. A Planning Agency meeting the area coverage and membership standards stated above must be in existence with authority to plan for the entire urban and urbanizing area. 2 b. This planning agency must have comprehensive planning and programming underway for the urban and urbanizing area. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's grant and loan programs for which areawide comprehensive planning and programming requirements have been established are: a. The Basic Water and Sewer Facilities Grant Program. b. The Urban Mass _TransportationBacilities Loan and Grant Program. c. She Open -Space Land Grant Program. d. The Advance Acquisition -of Land Grant Program. e. Advance for Public Works Planning Loan Program. f. Land Development Mortgage Insurance Program. Other Federal programs with areawide comprehensive planning and programing requirements are the Department of Interior's: a. Ten per tent bonus grants program for water and sewage treatment facilities in urban areas. b. :Bureau of Outdoor Recreation Land and Water Conservation Grants Program in urbanized areas. If you have any questions regarding this Planning Area Determination, the organization of a regional planning agency, or the areawide planning requirements, feel free to Contact us. We shall be pleased to provide whatever assistance we can to help your area meet these areawide compre- hensive planning and programming requirements and maintain its eligibility for the affected grant programs.

TOWN OF PIERCE POST OFFICE Box 57 PIERCE, COLORADO - eoeeo February 1, 1968 Weld County Commissioners Weld County Court -House Greeley, _Colorado 80631 Cen,iemen. The Town Board of the Town of Pierce hereby -endorses and urges the Commissioners of Weld County to consider and develop a long range comprehe 've plan for Weld County. Pierce, like many other small towns in the oun y, is in urgent need of financial assistance on various public work improvements. -Without-a County -wide comprehensive plan, we are unable to obtain the needed Federal financial assistance. It is our _opinion that the planning required Wy the Federal Department of -Housing and Urban Development and -the Farmers Home Administration, when applied -to a small town, becomes somewhat unrealistic. _For the planning to be beneficial, it -must encompass the area surrounding the town. This area is _often larger than the town itself. Therefore, it appears appropriate to request County involvement, in a total plan, in which -each community and the unincorporated areas parti- cipate financially with the 'development of a plan on some sort of benefit ratio. It is our belief that this method would be more beneficial, more -economical, and more expedient -in -view of present pressures to develop regional plans. Your immediate consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, TOWN Jr PIERCE, COLORADO Ben P. Gallatin, Mayor BPG/mji Wit to. tovriawit,.
