The proposed PUD will be serviced by the Central Weld County Water District and On -site Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS). B. Section 27-6-120.D.5.b — The uses which will be allowed in the proposed PUD will conform with the Performance Standards of the PUD Zone District contained in Chapter 27, Article II.

The Colorado Geological Survey reviewed the proposed PUD at sketch plan stage and their referral dated October 19, 2021, indicated no objection but attached the following comment: "The NRCS soil survey data indicated that the site soils are moderately corrosive to uncoated steel. Disturbance tends to increase corrosivity. Epoxy -coated fiberglass/composite, concrete, or otherwise corrosion -resistant or corrosion -proof basement window wells are recommended on lots where basements are planned and are determined to be feasible." According to the application materials there is a Surface Use Agreement with Noble Energy, Inc., on the property. Per an email from Noble Chevron dated December 10, 2020, Noble does not have any concerns with the PUD, as long as they have access and adequate workspace around the wells and production equipment.
