W(111111k To Weld County Commissioners Date August 17, 1979
COLORADO From Gilman E. Olson, Utility-Subdivision Administrator
Subject: Ranch Eggs, Inc. Subdivision
Weld County records indicate that subject subdivision was accepted by Weld
County in 1966. At that time it was stated, "that the County of Weld
would not undertake maintenance of streets, roads, and rights-of-way until
they had been constructed by the subdivider according to specifications and
and accepted by the County."
Weld County has for the past few years, maintained 175th Avenue in a
courtesy sort of way, and said street has not been accepted for maintainenace.
An on site inspection of 175th Avenue indicates that the street has a good
base and gravel seems to be sufficient. The sheet at this time is very
rough and full of "chuck holes".
My recommendation is as follows:
Accept 175th Avenue in Ranch Eggs, Inc. Subdivision for maintenance as a
gravel sheet and add same+to the Weld County Road Systems, 175th Avenue
being 60 feet wide and .42- of a mile long. Also the County should blade
and crown said street and do some shoulder work for drainage purposes along
with setting a street sign at which time said street should be put on a
routine maintenance schedule.
The record should reflect that Lipan Street, as shown on the plat, does not
exist at this time and is not accepted. Also the crossing across the ditch
at the west end of 175th Avenue is private and not on County right-of-way.

To Board Members Date April 23, 1979
COLORADO From Donald Warden
subject: Improvement District
Norm Carlson has requested that the attached information be put together
concerning an improvement district near Erie, Colorado. Based upon the
summary of provisions of Part 6 -- Local Improvement Districts-Counties,
the Board could initiate a resolution for the creation of a local improve-
ment district on its own or based upon property owners' petitioning the
Board for a local improvement district to be established.
The Board in turn could finance it out of County funds, and the property
owners would pay the entire amount in one installment, or spread that
payment with interest over two or more equal installments of principle
plus interest on the unpaid balance.
The letter to Mr. Stahl outlines the recommended procedures concerning
the creation of a local improvement district and the data that would
need to be considered by your Board. If it is the desire of your Board
to proceed with the creation of a local improvement district in this
area, it is suggested that I) the Chairman of the Board send the at-
tached letter to Mr. Stahl with the information cited in the letter, and
2) that a work session be scheduled with the residents in that area who
wish to be part of the local improvement district, to work out the
details with the Board and the County Engineer.

Mr. Wendell Stahl

Erie, CO 80516
Dear Mr. Stahl:
In regard to your request for information concerning special improvement
districts from our meeting last week, I am enclosing a copy of the State
Statutes which establish procedures for setting up such districts within
unincorporated areas.
The method the County would suggest you consider is described in Part
6 -- Local Improvement Districts-Counties. In this section, the dis-
trict means the geographical division of the County within which any
local improvements are made or proposed. In a local improvement dis-
trict, the property owners can petition for a specific improvement which
they pay for in the form of a single payment or installments with interest,
with terms of payment established by the Board of County Commissioners.
In addition to the actual statutes, there is enclosed a summary of the
general provisions included in Part 6 which should give you a basic idea
of what is involved in this process. I've also enclosed diagrams of the
County's engineering standards for the type of street you are requesting,
and the Section in the Subdivision Regulations which refers to street
standards.
As to an approximate cost of such improvements, a very rough figure for
paving, curb, gutter, and sidewalks is approximately $20 per foot front
of each lot, depending upon the condition of the base, doing these
requirements and other specifics. This figure should give you a basis
for considering whether the cost of the improvements would be prohi-
bitive to property owners in your area. Should you and other residents
in your area decide to proceed with the request to establish a local
improvement district in your area at this time, it is suggested that we
have a work session with the entire Board of County Commissioners to
discuss the following items with you:
1. Specific kinds of improvements requested.
2. The number of installments.
!IR_
•
3. The time in which the cost will be payable.
4. The rate of interest to be paid or unpaid and deferred installments
if required.
5. The extent of the district to be improved.
6. The probable cost per foot front.
If you need other information or assistance in initiating the process,
please contact me at 356-4000, Ext. 200. You can also establish a time
and date for the above work session with the Board of County Commissioners
at the above phone number.
Thank you for your attention and interest in this matter, and if you or
any of the other residents in the area desire additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me at the above number.
Sincerely,
-7294 . . er-C-

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF PART 6--LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS-COUNTIES:
Article 30, Section 20, Part 6.
In this section, "district" refers to the geographic area in which
improvements are to be made, as opposed to a "taxing district. "
The procedures for establishing and administering a local improvement
district are as follows:
The Board of County Commissioners could initiate such a resolution
for a local improvement district on its own, or the property owners
in an area could petition to the Board for a local improvement
district to be established. The petition would have to be signed
by the owners of a majority of the frontage property contingous to
the street to be improved (or other improvements to be made) . The
petition can specify the improvements, particular materials to be
used; or if the type of materials specified limits competition,
the petition can state a maximum price per unit.
The Board would advertise for bids, describing the materials by
standard or quality in the specifications. Before letting the
contract, the Board would issue a preliminary order adopting
details and specifications; describing materials to be used;
determining the number of installments and time in which the cost
would be payable, the rate of interest on unpaid or deferred
installments; the property to be assessed; and requiring an estimate
of cost by the county engineer, a map of the district to be improved,
and a schedule showing approximate amounts of assessment on lots or
parcels within the district.
The Clerk and Recorder would publish notice to property owners at
least 30 days prior to the consideration of the resolution. The
Board would hear complaints and objections before deciding the
resolution.
Specifications for paving "may include sidewalks , curbs, gutters,
and grading, and sufficient culverts, sewers, or drains necessary
to carry off the surface waters. . .and such other incidentals to
paving as may be required. " The Board could also specify that
bidders agree to contract to do the work and to maintain it in good
repair for up to five years.
Costs are to be assessed in accordance with benefits, on a frontage,
zone, or other equitable basis. There are also provisions in the
statutes for irregular shaped lots, existing improvements, etc.
The Board can add up to 6% over the actual cost to cover inspection,
collection, and other incidentals, including interest on bonds.
When an actual cost of the improvements can be determined, or when
improvements are to be accepted, the Board publishes notices stating
that the improvements have been or are about to be accepted and
completed; and stating the total cost of improvements; portion, if
any, to be paid by the county; the share apportioned to each lot or
tract; calling for complaints and objections to be filed within 20
days of the notice; and setting the date and place of the hearing
on such complaints. The Board, after hearing these, acts on the
resolution assessing the costs.
r
LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS: Page 2
Assessments, along with the penalites and interest, become perpetual
liens against the property assessed. Assessments are due within
30 days after the effective date of the assessing resolution, or
the owner could elect to pay by installments with interest, as
established by the Board.
Owners 65 or over who would be subject to the assessments are not
required to pay the assessment until the property is transferred
for actual consideration to a party other than the owner's spouse
or upon the death of the owner.
Installments would number two or more equal installments of principal
plus interest on the unpaid balance. The first payment would be
required within five years, with the last in not more than 20 years,
with interest payable semi-annually. The Board sets the number of
installments, the period of payment, and the rate of interest.
The Board can issue bonds to contract debt to provide a fund to pay
such part of the cost of improvements as the Board may determine;
however, the bond question would have to be submitted to the voters
in a special election.
Local improvements are to be constructed by independent contract, by
the lowest reliable and responsible bidder; however, if the Board
determines that the bids are too high or that the county could
do the work for less, the Board could authorize the county to
hire workers and purchase materials.
Surety bonds are required unless the county does the work. The Board
could order that owners connect their premises to gas, water, or
sewer mains, or any other utility in the street in front of their
premises prior to the paving.
