Reading as amended. The motion, which was seconded by Commissioner Conway, carried unanimously.
PLANNING:
1) CONSIDER RELEASE OF COLLATERAL FOR NGL WATER SOLUTIONS DJ, LLC, AND
ACCEPT REPLACEMENT WARRANTY COLLATERAL FROM CENTENNIAL WATER PIPELINES,
LLC: Ms. Lundquist requested the release of the NGL collateral in the amount of $2,400.00 and
acceptance of replacement collateral, in the amount of $2,400.00, from Centennial Water Pipelines. The

2) CONSIDER REQUEST CONCERNING EXTENSION OF TIME FOR SUBMITTAL OF FINAL
PLAN FOR CHANGE OF ZONE, PZ-1071, FOR ADLER ESTATES PUD - MEAD CROSSINGS, LLC:
Kim Ogle, Department of Planning Services, stated the Final Plan application was not submitted within
the three-year time frame. Mr. Ogle stated that the Board has provided additional time for the applicant
to submit the Final Plan application with a one (1) year extension to end December 8, 2016, while
requiring quarterly updates, which have been submitted regarding the development. The applicant has
requested an addidtional one (1) year extension due to a plan to bring water in through the Town of Mead.
Mr. Ogle stated this is the seventh (7) request for extension of time. Fred Kelly, with Mead Crossings,
LLC, stated a major issue has been getting water to the properties, which originally was to be built by a
company that failed to do so. Mr. Kelly explained that the Town of Mead has plans to build a water line
extension, which will allow for an extension from Mead to serve this property. He noted that January was
when the discussion with Mead began and the construction will start within the next year. Mr. Ogle stated

Michael Hall, Department of Planning Services, stated the applicants are proposing a two -lot recorded
exemption on Lot B, which is 20.2 acres in size. He stated staff recommends denial due to the lot being
less than the required thirty-five (35) acres. Robert Dalton, applicant, stated annexation into Frederick is
not an option due to the property being within the Frederick -Boulder Creek Planning Area
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Boulder County and the Town of Frederick. Mr. Dalton
stated research shows the Commissioners have previously allowed exemptions with less than thirty-five
(35) acres on a lot. He pointed out the easement and access that is granted to Lot B has no restrictions
and agreements are in place for road maintenance, which is maintained by the owners of Lot A, and is
already in use by himself for farm equipment. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated that the new Lot B must
have a separate access and utility easement use agreement. Mr. Hall addressed Commissioner
Kirkmeyer stating that this does meet the intent of the surrounding neighborhood. Commissioner
Kirkmeyer moved to grant Recorded Exemption RECX16-0203, with the conditions of approved as
presented. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried unanimously. Chair Cozad stated it
is important to meet with the Town of Frederick, to attempt to get out of the IGA with Boulder County,
which restricts development in unincorporated Weld County.
RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES: The resolutions were presented and signed as listed on the
Consent Agenda. Code Ordinance #2017-01 was approved on First Reading, as amended.

Kim,
Thank you for the call and voicemail. The developer located north of WCR 26 and South of SH 66 west
of I-25 and east of WCR 5 /z is correct, we do have an IGA with the Town of Mead to serve where they
annex. We are working with the Town and Longs Peak Water District to determine if a planning
boundary is appropriate and where that boundary would be. We are currently anticipating generally
half way between WCR 3 and WCR 5 however that is not set in stone at this time. We have talked to a
developer about the same area you mentioned. I believe they understand that we have no waterlines in
that area and a system upgrade would be required. We do currently have a 24 -inch stub underneath l-
25 approximately 1/3 mile south of SH 66 (behind the U -Haul business. We are working with Developers
that annex into Mead to exclude from Longs Peak Water District and be included in LTWD.
I hope that helps! Feel free to call/email with other questions.
I would also like to talk to you at some point about water dedication and development and how the
County would like development to move forward in this regard.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ogle:
Shortly after the commissioner's meeting on May 2, 2018 I was in contact again with Gary Allen
manager of Long's Peak Water District. I asked him to search for the commitment letter previously
issued by the District for the land now owned by Mead Crossings. I also asked him for a new letter
outlining the conditions necessary for the district to provide water service to our site. He said that he
could and would provide such a letter.
I received word that the Newby farm on the west side but coterminous with mine has sold to the City of
Longmont for open space. This was a surprising result, for a couple of reascns. First, I was told that the
public entities had previously agreed that road 5 would be the easternmost boundary of Longmont. This
clearly is a change in that understanding. Second, at the price the owner was asking it seemed logical
that the property could only be sold to a developer. I had thought that a new developer coming in could
share the costs of a pipeline with me. Apparently, this will never happen now and the County loses out
on $400,000,000 of market value, approximately $32,000,000 in additional assessed valuation and
$400,000 in lost annual tax revenue. For me bottom line, this probably also means that a smaller water
line will suffice which will reduce my cost.
Sincerely,
Fred R. Kelly, Jr.

Dear Mr. Ogle:
On June 9, 2018 I attended the regularly scheduled meeting of Long's Peak Water District. I introduced
myself to the board and gave a short presentation describing why I was there and outlining the
relationship we were trying to establish with them. What followed was a lengthy discussion of all the
issues that I had previously disclosed to the Commissioners and a few more all involved with the various
topics and parties surrounding water issues in my area of the County. Also in attendance was Gary
Allen, manager. After the meeting, Gary informed me that he was unable to find the commitment letter
previously issued by the District for the land now owned by Mead Crossings. The letter was issued
before he became manager and he could not find it in his files. I will ask you also if you can find a copy in
your files since this was a request of the commissioners.
I asked him again for a new letter outlining the conditions necessary for the district to provide water
service to our site. He said that he could and would provide such a letter. I reminded him of the August
8, 2018 time frame.
Sincerely,
Fred R. Kelly, Jr.

Dear Mr. Ogle:
On July 20, I was again in touch with Gary Allen, manager of Long's Peak Water District asking for an
ability to serve letter. He said that he was going to his lawyer's office on Monday July 23, 2018 to
prepare it. I had hoped to be able to attach the letter to this communication, but I may have to bring it
with me if I don't get it prior to the meeting. I have attached the financials requested by the
commissioners and would request that this information be kept strictly confidential. I believe that this
information very definitely demonstrates our seriousness and financial ability to proceed. I have also
attached a time line leading to development.
During the month I have had discussions with Gary Allen and also with the Town Manager of Mead who
are basically competing for the 830 taps we have preliminarily approved. The Mayor of Mead ran for
reelection, got elected, then resigned. So there is some question again about the future direction of the
Town. I have developed a pretty good rapport with both entities. There does not appear to be any doubt
that I can get water from one or the other or both. My fervent hope is continue to work with the
County and see this through. I hope that the Commissioners will allow me to do so.

Fred,
I have reached out, but have not heard back as of yet. I know he was out of the office for a couple of
days. And I'm fairly confident he will be in the office tomorrow. I will reach back out to him either
later today or first thing in the morning to get clarification on what direction Longs Peak water district
can go. As we discussed over the phone, I'm hopeful that you and the district can get together and
work out a game plan for your water needs. But I definitely don't want to waste your time if I don't
even have that option. Hopefully I will hear something back from him tomorrow.
What is your email so I can add it to my allowed list?

Hello Kristen,
This message is for Fred. Could you forward me his email so I can start
corresponding directly with him?
Fred,
I talked with our attorney, and he thought it would be wise for me to set up a
meeting with Mead alone. Not with their water provider so I could "read the tea
leaves" with Helen. I have sent her an email, and will get back to you just as
soon as I can. I apologize that this is so complicated. Talk soon.
Best regards,
