PLANNING:
el 1) CONSIDER ACCEPTANCE OF REQUEST TO WITHDRAW USE BY SPECIAL REVIEW
PERMIT, USR14-0058, AND RESCIND RESOLUTION #2014-3661, DATED DECEMBER 10, 2014 -
TIMBRO RANCH AND CATTLE CO., LLC, C/O NOBLE ENERGY, INC.: Kim Ogle, Department of
Planning Services, stated that a written request was received to withdraw the aforementioned USR, as
Noble Energy has made a decision to not move forward with this project. The letter was submitted by

application for the Pony Creek Gas Processing Facility. In response to Chair Kirkmeyer, Mr. Ogle
clarified the location. Neither the applicant, nor the applicant's representative, were present.
Commissioner Freeman moved to accept said request to withdraw and rescind said resolution.
Commissioner Moreno seconded the motion, and it carried unanimously. There was discussion
regarding rescinding the reloution. County Attorney, Robert Frick, recommended in the future, instead
of rescinding a resolution, creating a new resolution stating the withdrawal.
2) CONSIDER REQUEST TO MODIFY CONDITION OF APPROVAL #1.B TO BE MOVED TO
BECOME A NEW CONDITION OF APPROVAL #7.F FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL
PLAN, PUDF14-0009 - BAREFOOT LAKES, LLC, C/O BROOKFIELD RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES:
Mr. Ogle presented the details regarding the requested modification and provided the history of the
collateral being held regarding the earlier Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement which
relates to USR-1078 in conjunction to the current development and the request to amend the current
language and requirements based on the progression to annex into Firestone, upon which eliminates
the need for the most recent Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreement.
el Bob Choate, Assistant County Attorney, explained the plan to annex into Firestone and the
discussions with staff. He further explained, if the annexation fails, the Improvements Agreement is still
needed; however, if the annexation is completed, it will not be needed. He stated the best option for the
County is to have the agreement as a safety measure. In response to Commissioner Cozad,
Mr. Choate stated the applicant had anticipated the annexation at the time of the prior hearing and that
Public Works had been consulted.
In response to Chair Kirkmeyer's concerns regarding off-site impacts to County Roads,
Ms. Lundquist clarified the annexation includes County Road (CR) 28, and a portion of CR 9.5.
Commissioner Cozad responded that she had recently attended a Town Meeting in Firestone and was
under the impression they were not annexing the entire section of CR 9.5, only the adjacent portion,
and this prompted further concerns relating to CR 28 and CR 13. Commissioner Cozad expressed her
concerns with moving the Condition of Approval due to the questions surrounding the annexation and
responsibility of the maintenance and long term safety coordination with the County to address these
impacted roads. Mr. Choate responded with the applicant's purpose to avoid the Improvements
Agreement entirely by moving the Condition of Approval to allow the timing of the annexation with
regard to building permits. He further stated this matter is subject to the discretion of the Board.
Commissioner Cozad stated the Improvements Agreement protects the County regarding damage to
the County roads outside the annexation related to the development.
El Cameron Grant, Barefoot Lakes, LLC, do Brookfield Residential Properties, explained the
proposed annexation was in process at the time of the prior hearing and after approval, they met with
staff to try to mitigate concerns regarding the timing and the impact of the Improvements Agreement.
Mr. Grant gave the specifics of the area to be annexed, and verbalized the comprehensive agreement
and obligation for the improvement and maintenance of surrounding roads. He stated the benefit of
moving the Condition streamlines the process of annexing. The entire 1,300 acres will be annexed to
include CR 9.5 extending to the north side of the bridge, and all of CRs 13, 11, and 28. The Town of
Minutes, June 22, 2015 2015-1834
Page 7 BC0016
Mead recently de-annexed CR 28 which will become part of the Firestone annexation and Mr. Grant
clarified the improvements obligations are in line with the County's. In response to Mr. Grant's
summation, Commissioner Conway agreed with Commissioner Cozad regarding time spent in the
preliminary hearing without the applicant ever mentioning the negotiations with Mead and Firestone
toward annexation.
Chair Kirkmeyer stated she understands the desire to speed things up from the applicant's
perspective; however, the situation is upsetting because the applicant could have withdrawn the
application or continued the matter instead of wasting County time knowing they were negotiating an
annexation with Firestone. She further expressed her displeasure at the applicant's lack of
understanding regarding the safety and responsibility for the County roads being impacted both on-site
and off-site. Chair Kirkmeyer clarified that regardless of the annexation, she will not approve any
measure that creates liability or unsafe road conditions for the citizens of Weld County or that adversely
affects other business travelers in the area such as agriculture or oil and gas.
El Commissioner Cozad expressed her agreement with Chair Kirkmeyer and suggested a
compromise to keep the Improvements Agreement in place regarding the off-site Road Maintenance
and Improvements Agreement, and change the on-site Improvements Agreement placement to be
required prior to construction. She further suggested adding two (2) notes on the plat to reflect the
public Improvements Agreement, and a requirement for the applicant to coordinate regarding the
impacts on County Roads.
Chair Kirkmeyer explained the typical procedure is to accept collateral and, once the annexation
is in place and the agreements are in place, then the collateral is released back to the applicant and the
responsibility is given to the Town. She summarized the changes and stated instead of deleting
COA#1.B, simply delete the words, "on-site and". She also agreed with Commissioner Cozad's
suggestions to add a new COA #6.B under Prior to Construction, to read, "The applicant will enter into
an Improvements Agreement for On-site Improvements." Further, additional notes on the plat, on page
17, a new note #2.HH requiring the subdivision residential development will coordinate with the County
regarding transportation efforts. In response to Chair Kirkmeyer's question regarding entering into an
Intergovernmental Agreement with Firestone that requires the applicant to meet the concerns of the
County prior to recording the plat, Brad Yatabe, Assistant Couty Attorney, responded regarding
conditions and control at the discretion of the Board. Commissioner Cozad suggested an additional
condition prior to recording the final plat requiring an agreement be in place. Chair Kirkmeyer
suggested, based on the discussion and the concerns therein, that this matter be continued until
Wednesday, June 24, 2015, to allow the Board time to discuss an Intergovernmental Agreement
regarding Improvements and Road Maintenance with Firestone. Commissioner Conway explained to
the applicant the safety measures need to be in place because of historic irresponsibility. Mr. Grant
stated his approval and acceptance of the suggestion of continuance.
CI Commissioner Cozad expressed her positive conversations with the Town of Firestone Mayor and
Administrator. Commissioner Cozad moved to continue this matter to Wednesday, June 24, 2015.
Commissioner Conway seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Commissioner Conway and
Commissioner Cozad expressed their appreciation for the applicant's understanding and willingness to
return June 24, 2015.
