I understand the applicant proposes a change of zone from A(Agricultural)to E(Estate)to accommodate a planned nine-lot residential subdivision on approximately 36.1 acres platted as Portion of Vacated Lot B,Recorded Exemption No. 0805-18-03 RECX16-0016. The site does not contain steep slopes, is not undermined, is outside of mapped 100-year flood hazard zones,and no geologic conditions are known or suspected to be present that would preclude the proposed residential use and density. Mineral resource potential.According to the Atlas of Sand, Gravel, and Quarry Aggregate Resources, Colorado Front Range Counties(Schwochow et al, Colorado Geological Survey Special Publications 5-A,Plate 1, and 5-B, Severance Quadrangle, 1974),the subject property is mapped as not containing an aggregate resource. Soil and bedrock engineering properties.EEC's Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report, Subdivision at CR 25 and CR 68,Weld County, Colorado(EEC Project No. 1212029,April 28,2021)contains a valid characterization of overall subsurface conditions and makes appropriate preliminary recommendations regarding site development. Provided EEC's recommendations are adhered to(specifically including additional,building-specific investigation, analysis and design), CGS has no objection to approval. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have questions or require additional review,please call me at(303) 384-2643, or e-mail carlson@mines.edu.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Ms. Aungst, This referral for case no. COZ25-0009 does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in section 30-28-101(10)(a), C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office only performed a cursory review of the referral information. Upon review, it appears that the proposed water supply source for the property is service provided by the North Weld County Water District, subject to various terms and conditions of NWCWD as outlined in their letter dated May 21, 2025. There are no permitted wells on the subject property. Our office has no comments on this referral.
