SUBJECT: PUDZ18-0002 18-0002 Union Estates
The Weld County Department of Public Works has reviewed this PUD proposal. Staff comments made
during this phase of the application process may not be all-inclusive, as other issues may arise during the
remaining application process.
COMMENTS
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION/LOCATION
Project description: A Planned Unit Development (PUD) change of zone application from A (Agricultural) to
PUD for nine (9) residential lots with Estate Zone District uses along with 5.916 acres of open space.
This project is south of and adjacent to CR 50 and is west of and adjacent to CR 41.
Parcel number 105505100035.
Access is from CR 50.
ACCESS
The subdivision road is proposed to intersect with County Road 50 approximately 1280 feet west of County
Road 41. The applicant is also proposing keeping the Oil and Gas horseshoe accesses located
approximately 520 and 660 feet west of County Road 41 on County Road 50. Public works is requiring that
the applicant coordinate closure of the Oil and Gas horseshoe access and provide an easement to the site
through the PUD. Please contact Public Works with questions.
Per Chapter 12, Article 5, Section 12-5-30, an Access Permit is required for access to Weld County
maintained roadways. We strongly encourage you to discuss your access with Public Works prior to laying
out your site plan to ensure the approved accesses are compatible with your layout. Per Chapter 12, Article
V, Section 12-5-30. F, when feasible, there shall be no net increase in the number of accesses to a public
road. Minimum access spacing widths are shown in Weld County Code Appendix Table 12A-2. Please refer
to Chapter 12 of the Weld County Code for more information regarding access.
ROADS AND RIGHTS -OF -WAY
County Road 50 (Todd Avenue) is a paved road and is designated on the Weld County Functional
Classification Map (Code Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way.
The applicant shall delineate on the site map or plat the future and existing right-of-way and the physical
location of the road. If the right-of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of
setback in the Weld County Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured
from the future right-of-way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way.
This road is maintained by Weld County.
County Road 41 is a gravel road and is designated on the Weld County Functional Classification Map (Code
Ordinance 2017-01) as a(n) local road, which requires 60 feet of right-of-way. The applicant shall delineate
on the site map or plat the future and existing right-of-way and the physical location of the road. If the right-
of-way cannot be verified it shall be dedicated. Pursuant to the definition of setback in the Weld County
Code, Chapter 23, Article III, Section 23-3-50, the required setback is measured from the future right-of-
way line. Be aware that physical roadways may not be centered in the right-of-way. This road is maintained
by Weld County.
Per Chapter 12, Article 4, Section 12-4-30.B, a Weld County Right -of -Way Use Permit is required for any
project that will be occupying, constructing or excavating facilities within, and/or encroaching upon, any
County rights -of -way or easement. Right -of -Way Use Permit instructions and application can be found at
https://www.weldcov comldepartmentslpublicworks/permits/.
Weld County will not replace overlapping easements located within existing right-of-way or pay to relocate
existing utilities within the County right-of-way.
TRAFFIC
Latest ADT on CR 50 counted 797 vpd with 25% trucks. The 85th percentile speed is 59.
TRACKING CONTROL POLICY
The applicant is asking for a waiver from paving the internal subdivision road. If the waiver is granted
tracking control may be required where the subdivision road intersects with County Road 50.
IMPROVEMENTS AGREEMENT FOR ON -SITE IMPROVEMENTS
At Final Plan, Public Works is requiring an Improvements Agreement for on -site PUD improvements, per
Chapter 24, Article 9, Section 24-9-20. This agreement will include on -site improvements associated with
the development. Collateral is required to ensure the improvements are completed and maintained. Prior
to recording the Final Plan, the applicant shall provide construction drawings to be reviewed by Public
Works. Once the construction drawings are accepted, a Construction Schedule and a draft Exhibit A-2 AND
B-2 are required, outlining the costs of onsite improvements.
Improvements Agreement: An example agreement is available at:
https://www.weldgov com/UserFiles/Servers/Server 6/File/Departmerits/Publie/020Works/DevelopmentR
eviewlsprusr.pdf.
DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS
This area IS within a Non -Urbanizing Drainage Area: Non -Urbanizing Drainage Areas typically require
detention of runoff from the 1 -hour, 100 -year, storm falling on the developed site and release of the detained
water at the historic runoff rate of the 1 -hour, 10 -year storm falling on the undeveloped site for NON -
URBANIZING areas.
The site meets drainage exceotuib 23-12-30.F.1.a.7 for residential developments. The applicant has
submitted a Stormwater Swale and Culvert Design Narrative for the site. In the Final Plan stage of the PUD,
Construction Drawings will be required with the submittal. At this time, a grading and drainage plan will be
required. In this drawing, please include the design points and culverts referenced in the narrative.
The narrative mentions that the site has a natural peaking pond located on the northern portion of the PUD.
Page 5 of the narrative indicates that there will be a culvert outlet on the peaking pond. If this is in the right-
of-way, a ROW permit will be required for construction. Comments on the submitted narrative are available
upon request.
Historic Flows:
The applicants will be required to maintain the historic drainage flows and run-off amounts that exist from
the property.
SUBDIVISION ROADS
The applicant is proposing a subdivision road (Union Drive) intersecting with County Road 50,
approximately 1280 feet west of County Road 41. This location appears to meet spacing criteria. The
proposed radii for the subdivision road are 50'.
The applicant is asking for a waiver from the requirements of Section 27-2-20 .-Access standards, which
states: "All PUD developments will be served by an internally paved road system according to County
standards..." This waiver request will be presented at the Board of County Commissioners hearing. If this
waiver is not granted, a pavement design will be required prior to recording the Change of Zone plat.
With the Change of Zone application, the applicant submitted a road layout. The intersection of Union Drive
and Union Street appears that it may raise concerns for drivability and safety. Please address the drivability
and safety of this intersection in the Final Plan submittal.
With the PUD Final Application submittal the applicant will need to provide the proposed cross section
showing the dimensions of the road lanes, shoulders, and right of way to comply with Weld County Code
Chapter 24, Appendix 24-E, and a plan and profile for the roadway. If applicable, at that time, the pavement
design will be required.
At Final Plan, construction drawings will need to show the plan and profile of the roadway, cross sections,
and signage.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
At Final Plan, a construction schedule will be required with submittal. This shall show the approximate dates
when construction of the development is proposed to start and finish. This shall describe the stages in
which the development will be constructed, and the number of buildings or structures and the amount of
common open space to be completed at each stage.
UTILITY MAP
At Final Plan, the utility map shall show: gas lines, water, electricity (above or below ground), telecomm (if
applicable), sewer (if applicable), utility and drainage easements with labels, culverts, detention areas and
structures, and plans, profiles, and typical cross section drawings of streets. The Utility Map shall be
recorded with the Final Plan plat.
GRADING PERMIT
A Weld County Grading Permit will be required if disturbing more than 1 acre. Grading Permit applications
are accepted after the planning process is complete (plat recorded). An Early Release Request Form may
be entertained only after the applicant, Public Works and Planning Department have reviewed the referral
and surrounding property owner comments. The Early Release Request may or may not be granted
depending on referral comments and surrounding property owner concerns. Contact an Engineering
representative from the Public Works for more information.
A Construction Stormwater Permit is also required with the State for disturbing more than 1 acre. Contact:
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division, 303-692-3575.

Memorandum
To: Chris Gathman
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: November 5, 2018
Re: PUDZ18-0002 Union Estates
The Weld County Environmental Health Services Division has reviewed this proposal for a
Change of Zone Request from the A (Agricultural) Zone District to the PUD (Planned Unit
Development) Zone District for nine (9) residential lots with Estate Zone District uses along
with 5.916 acres of open space.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code regarding water service.
Central Weld County Water District will provide water and an email from the Weld County
Attorney's office approving the proposed water source was included in the application.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code regarding water service.
An On -site Waste Water Treatment System (OWTS) performance report dated April 2017,
was completed by Mark Taylor P.E. The soils data provided indicate Julesburg sandy loam
and Vona loamy sand on site. Both soils have rapid permeability characteristics which may
require engineered septic systems on the lots. Groundwater was encountered at 6.5 feet
which should not be an issue with the installation of OWTS. However, groundwater levels
fluctuate seasonally so individual test pits are required for each lot when septic permits are
applied for.
According to the application, the covenants state that activities such as landscaping (i.e.
planting of trees and shrubs) and construction (i.e. auxiliary structures, dirt mounds, etc.)
activities are expressly prohibited in the designated absorption field site.
The minimum lot size of 3.5 acres coupled with an overall density of one on -site wastewater
treatment system per 5.9 acres does meet current Department policy.
The Environmental Impact Plan (section 27-6-40) adequately addresses all environmental
impacts.

WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT
1555 North 17th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80631 www.weldhealth.org
The Division recommends the following notes for the Change of Zone plat:
1. Water service shall be obtained from Central Weld County Water District.
2. The parcel is currently not served by a municipal sanitary sewer system. Sewage disposal
may be by septic systems designed in accordance with the regulations of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division and the
Weld County Code in effect at the time of construction, repair, replacement, or
modification of the system.
3. Activity or use on the surface of the ground over any part of the OWTS must be restricted
to that which shall allow the system to function as designed and which shall not contribute
to compaction of the soil or to structural loading detrimental to the structural integrity or
capability of the component to function as designed.
4. During development of the site, all land disturbances shall be conducted so that nuisance
conditions are not created. If dust emissions create nuisance conditions, at the request
of Weld County Environmental Health Services, a fugitive dust control plan must be
submitted.
5. If land development creates more than a 25 -acre contiguous disturbance, or exceeds 6
months in duration, the responsible party shall prepare a fugitive dust control plan, submit
an air pollution emissions notice application, and apply for a permit from the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment.
6. Weld County's "Right to Farm" shall be placed on any recorded plat.

Subject: RE: Union Estates C of Zone
Dear Sheri,
Sorry for the delay. We are swamped here. You sure you don't want to come back —you are
welcome to
Lauren Light is requesting some additional information re: the septic systems. See below:
sketch plan stated "There was no preliminary percolation data included in the Geotechnical
report by Terracon, dated February 22, 2008. The soils data provided indicate Julesburg
sandy loam and Vona loamy sand on site. Both soils have rapid permeability characteristics
which may require engineered septic systems on the lots. Percolation data will be required at
the change of zone submittal." As the OWTS regulations have changed, test pits and soil
typing is now required. Please submit the soils information as requested prior to submittal of
COZ.
Also — I want to make sure that La Salle's position has not changed in regards to annexation. The
original IGA notice of inquiry was from 2016. I sent them an updated notice of inquiry in order to
verify whether or not anything has changed in regards to their position re: annexation. I need to
make sure nothing has changed.

Comments:
Note: This site meets a drainage exception. detention is not required.
1. Please submit drawings showing the design points and culverts referenced in the swale and culvert design
narrative.
2. Is the peaking pond mentioned in the ROW? Pg 5 indicates that there will be a culvert outlet. Any work in
the ROW requires a ROW permit. Show any drainage features on the drawings referenced in number 2,
above.
3. The mannings n used for culverts indicates that concrete culverts will be used. Please confirm if this is the
case
4. In several locations, the flow depth is greater than the design depth Once drainage drawings are received,
Public Works can determine if these swale/design points are major drainage features requiring 1 foot of
freeboard for the swale. At this time. it cannot be determined where these locations are.

Dear Chris:
We have reviewed the application by Dave Keiser and Harry Strohhauer for PUDZ18-0002 and have the following comments:
Weld County School District RE -1 has developed methodology for Land Dedication and/or In Lieu Payments. The current In Lieu
Payment amount per single family unit is $1,054.20. Based on the information provided, it appears that there are plans to add 9 new
homes on the existing parcel. Therefore, an in lieu payment in the amount of $9,487.80 is due to the school district prior to approval of
the recorded exemption.

Gentlemen:
Union Ditch Company has reviewed the above case.
In the Response to Concerns document regarding Union Ditch Company, the
applicant indicates that multiple attempts have been made regarding an agreement
without success. Recent activity shows that Union Ditch Company submitted a
proposed agreement to applicant on July 6, 2018. A response was not received from
applicant until August 10, 2018. A revised agreement was sent to the applicant on
September 8, 2018. There was no response from applicant, and a follow-up e-mail was
sent October 10, 2018. There has still been no response.
The Company's concerns have not been addressed. The Company requires a
signed agreement and asks that the County not approve the application until an
agreement is reached between the applicant and Union Ditch Company.
Yours very truly,

Donna,
November 20, 2017
I have been hired by Dave Keiser and Harry Strohauer to help develop their property adjacent to the
Union Ditch. We have completed a Planned Unit Development Sketch Plan through Weld County. You
were asked for comments regarding the development and returned the attached letter to the County. I
hope the following will address your concerns.
You have asked for us to enter into an agreement with the Union Ditch Company. We will be happy to
enter into an agreement that ensures that the Union Ditch Company will not be held responsible for
any damage caused by water coming from the ditch. The ditch elevation at the site is approximately
10 to 15 feet below ground level and currently basements will not be allowed. Therefore, the likelihood
of any water issues should be extremely low. Please send us a copy of an agreement to review. Your
attorney has no doubt written similar agreements in the past and can easily amend one to fit this site.
The proposed fence will be constructed around the perimeter of the property and will either be a steel
or vinyl three rail type fence. This sub -division is targeting and designed for mid to upper end homes
and the use of a 6 foot chain link fence would not meet our cosmetic requirements. The layout of the
subdivision includes 65' between the ditch and closest fence. Any free space in this area will be planted
with natural grass that will be mowed regularly. Currently. there is a road and two cement ditches within
the 65'. These barriers should be more than adequate for fire prevention.
The developers are well aware of the need for natural grass growth on the property and are quite
knowledgeable with what process will be needed to assure the property has a proper ground cover.
This has all been addressed in our development plan and is essential for the completion of the project.
The drainage plan for the site will be amended at each phase of the development process until it
meets Weld County criteria. Water leaving the property should not affect the Union Ditch in any way.
The property will drain north and east, away from the Union ditch. You will be able to review the
drainage plan at the Change of Zone and Final Plan stages. Weld County will send you a request
for comment at both of these phases. If you have concerns regarding the final drainage plan you can
include your concerns in the response to Weld County.

Sheri,
I have been working with Dave and Harry on this project, the attachment did not come through. Could you please send
that over.
Also, our current plan is to plug the well and pull the flowline in late September or October. When we get closer to that
time we can discuss specifics. We will need to make sure that any permanent development will not encroach on out
setbacks to the batter location, flowline, and well heads. This is something I've discussed with both Dave and Harry.
Please let me know if you have any specific questions or concerns.
Regards,
John Peterson

Mr. Peterson,
My name is Sheri Lockman. I am helping Dave Keiser and Harry Strohauer develop a 9 lot subdivision at the corner of
Weld County Roads 50 and 41. Dave told me that he has been working with you to resolve any issues that you have with
the project. I have attached a copy of the plat for you to take a look at. Dave indicated that you had agreed that the gas
flow line going across Lot 1, 8 and 9 would be removed along with the well on the west end of the property. We have also
decided to move outlot c to the south side of the tank battery along Weld County Road 50 so that people will walk around
that area instead of through it.
Please let me know if you have any other concerns that you would like addressed before we submit the application.
We appreciate your help,
Sheri Lockman

Director/State Engineer
We have reviewed the materials received October 8, 2018 concerning the above referenced proposal to
subdivide 53.88 acres known as Lot B of the Recorded Exemption RE -3703 into 9 residential lots ranging in
size from 3.6 acres to 10.12 acres along with 2.22 acres of open space. We have previously provided
comments to this proposal by our letters dated June 11, 2008, August 30, 2017, and June 25, 2018. No
changes on the proposed water supply water supply for this development were identified in this referral.
Therefore, we reiterate our previous opinion that pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(I) and Section 30-28-
136(1)(h)(II), C.R.S., the proposed water supply is adequate and can be provided without causing injury to
decreed water rights as long as Central Weld County Water District commits to provide water taps to all 9
single-family residential Lots. Our previous comments regarding any storm water detention structure proposed
for this planned development still apply.
Should you or the applicant have any questions, please contact loana Comaniciu at (303) 866-3581x8246.

Shareen,
I spoke to you on November 28th regarding the postal requirements for the proposed 9 lot residential subdivision located
at the southwest corner of County Road 50 and County Road 41. You had indicated that you would let me know of any
requirements or concerns with the subdivision after you had a chance to discuss the case with John.
A representative for the postal service had previously indicated that a pull -off needed to be placed on the west side of
Union Drive. The attached plat shows the proposed pull off location.
We are happy to address any concerns or conditions that you may have. You have been unwilling to review the plat
unless we have addresses for the tots. At this point the lots are not legal and have not been addressed by the County.
Please contact Chris Gathman, Weld County Planner, at 970-353-6100 to discuss addressing the lots.
We would appreciate any comments that you have regarding the subdivision. If we do not receive a response we have no
option but to go forward with the pull -off location and street names as shown on the attached plat.
