Memorandum
To: Diana Aungst
From: Lauren Light, Environmental Health Services
Date: May 10, 2016
Re: PUDZ16-0001 Gander Valley Farms, LTD
Environmental Health Services has reviewed this Planned Unit Development Change of
Zone Request to Rezone Lot 5 Gander Valley PUD from Planned Unit Development
with Agricultural Zone District Uses (PUD-A) to Planned Unit Development with Estate
Zone District Uses (PUD-E).
The applicant is proposing a 10 lot PUD on 40.46 acres. Septic systems will provide
sewer for the lots and the minimum lot size of 3.2 acres coupled with an overall density
of one septic system per 4 acres does meet current Department policy. Individual taps
from North Weld County Water District will provide water.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water
service. The Assistant Weld County Attorney has approved the water source of North
Weld County Water District.
The application has satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to sewer
service. Sewer will be provided by individual on -site wastewater treatment systems
(OWTS). A preliminary subsurface exploration report from Earth Engineering
Consultants, LLC, dated September 25, 2015, was submitted with the sketch plan. Soil
and percolation testing completed by Earth Engineering Consultants, LLC indicate that
the site is suitable for the construction of OWTS. The average percolation rate was
below 20 mpi. According to the report, areas of expansive clays and shallow bedrock
likely exist on the parcel. A thorough geotechnical investigation should be conducted
at each proposed building site to identify if these conditions exist.
This Department recommends that language for the preservation and/or protection of
the absorption field shall be placed in the development covenants as well as a note on
the change of zone plat.
The Environmental Impact Plan (section 27-6-30) adequately addresses all
environmental impacts.

If approval is granted, the Division recommends the following conditions:
The following should appear as notes on the Change of Zone plat:
1. Water service may be obtained from North 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. Language for the preservation and/or protection of the absorption field shall be
placed on the plat. The note shall state; 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" as provided in Appendix 22-E of the Weld County
Code shall be placed on any recorded plat.
