I am not sure that the commissioners are going to let me get this across the goal line. I may need to talk to you about what happens if we have to start all over again. Never the less I am enclosing reports which I prepared as requested by the commissioners. In the future, if you are needing something from me please do not hesitate to ask, you know that I will comply immediately as I have in the past. I know that it is not your job to,babysit me but you are busy and I am busy and sometimes things inevitably fall through the cracks. Further, I am not as computer literate as I should be and we changed computer systems since last year to improve security. There are just enough differences between the old system and the new that I find myself struggling at times to cope with the technology advances plus we have had some turnover. Sincerely, Fred R. Kelly, Jr. Partner Mead Crossings 1200 17th Street, Suite 850 Denver, Co 80202 (303) 572-6990 Commu.n2018-1599 OS- 21- I8 May 07 2018 12:48PM HP Fax 3035726995 page 2 Sent via fax: 970.304.6498 Mar 1, 2018 Mr. Kim Ogle Senior Planner Weld County Planning Department 1555 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Ogle: I am writing to request a one-year extension of time from the due date for finalizing the plat on the Adler Farm near Mead. Development will be unavoidably delayed. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my request. I eagerly await your written response. Sincerely, Fred Fred R. Kelly, Jr. Partner Mead Crossings 120017th Street, Suite 850 Denver, CO 80202 (303) 572-6990 May 07 2018 12:48PM HP Fax 3035726995 page 3 April 3O, 2017 Mr. Kim Ogle Senior Planner Weld County Planning Department 1555 N. 17"' Avenue Greeley, Co 80631 Dear Mr. Ogle: I met again with acting town manager of Mead Mike Seagrist to further discuss the town's plans to construct a 12 inch water line to approximately highway 66 and CR7. From this point my property would be a relatively short distance from service. Using rough calculations an investment of about $750,000 could extend the line to my property. The town would then build an additional 12 inch line later as needed. This I believe is workable and I told him I was on board. Sincerely, Fred R. Kelly, Jr. Partner Mead Crossings 1200 17th Street, Suite 850 Denver, Co 80202 (303) 572-6990 May 07 2018 12:48PM HP Fax 3035726995 page 4 Sent by Fax (970)304-6498 July 30, 2017 Mr. Kim Ogle Senior Planner Weld County Planning Department 1555 N. 17'h Avertue Greeley, Co 80631 Dear Mr. Ogle: So now it appears that the Karma project east of the intersection of highway 66 and 1-25 is finally moving forward. This project like many of the others in the area Including ours has been on hold for a number of years waiting for times to be right to proceed. While this represents competition for us in terms of numbers of units that can actually be absorbed by the local market it will also bring in a lot of buyers who may not have previously focused on our area. In this way, we hope to benefit from Karma's very substantial advertising budget. So overall it is a positive for us. There is nothing quite like activity to bring about more activity. This project is being done in the municipality of Fredrick largely because the developers could not come to terms with the Town of Mead. Having 1,000 homes ultimately built on the east side of the 1-25 will logically bring about an interim change in land use. Some of the improvements like grocery stores etc. that we thought would probably locate on the commercial site along 66 will likely now be on the east side of the interstate. The residents of Mead are just thrilled that they will ultimately have nearby access to such amenities rather than having to drive so far to get them. Our site is still superior because of access to Longmont lower water table and Mead High School across the street. I am presently in a bit of a holding period waiting for some of the political unrest in Mead to abate. Sincerely, Fred Kelly Jr Partner Mead Crossings 1200 17th Street, Suite 850 Denver, Co 80202 (303)572-6990 May 07 2018 12:48PM HP Fax 3035726995 page 5 Sent via fax: 970.304.6498 October 30, 2017 Mr. Kim Ogle Senior Planner Weld County Planning Department 1555 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Ogle: On October 25, I met with Helen Migchelbrink, the newly appointed Town Manager. She informed me that the position of the Town had changed 180 degrees from the position represented by the previous acting manager, Mike Seagrest, and that under her administration, the Town was no longer planning to be in the water business. This revelation dashed my plans to work with the Town to bring water to my site and put me in jeopardy with the Weld County Commissioners who had told me to bring a commitment from the Town to my next meeting. This is now not possible through no fault of my own. Ms. Migchelbrink also informed me that the new business person with the Town, who had previously been my main contact, was no longer employed and that any representations which were made by her were no longer binding. Sincerely, Fred R. Kelly, Jr. Partner Mead Crossings 1200 17th Street, Suite 850 Denver, CO 80202 (303) 572-6990 May 07 2018 12:48PM HP Fax 3035726995 page 6 Sent by Fax (970)304-6498 December 30, 2017 Mr. Kim Ogle Senior Planner Weld County Planning Department 1555 N. 17th Avenue Greeley, Co 80631 Dear Mr. Ogle: With approximately 6 months having elapsed since the gas explosion in Firestone we have started receiving notices that the existing well head improvements and pipelines will be removed from our property. Even though we had a surface agreement in place as I informed you previously this makes planning and building quite a bit easier because we no longer have to be as concerned about setback requirements and conflicts for land utilization to say nothing of the more positive asthetics of our land vs others. Our neighbor to the west is listing their property for sale to settle an estate. At the price they are asking this will no longer be agricultural land and it will need to be sold to a developer to succeed financially. This land had previously, years ago, been under contract with Grupe Developers for residential development. I knew that group well and worked with them successfully to jointly address regional concerns. That contract fell through during the great recession. If the land sells for development then it will give us another party with interest in sharing the cost of the water line which helps us greatly because the cots would be spread over approximately 1600 units rather than just the ones on our property. Sincerely, Fred Kelly Jr Partner Mead Crossings 1200 17Th Street, Suite 850 Denver, Co 80202 (303)572-6990 Hello
