The development is more generally described as being in the southeast corner of the intersection of Weld County Road 1 and Weld County Road 36. The development is bordered on the west by Weld County Road 1 and on the north by Weld County Road 36. The development currently has two existing, approved accesses (Weld County Access Permit Number AP11-00401) on Weld County Road 1 located approximately 590 feet and 950 feet south of the intersection of Weld County Road 1 and Weld County Road 36 and located directly across from two existing residential driveways. The North Country PUD is a proposed two-lot single family residential development that will create two approximately equal sized agricultural 'rural estate' type lots. The associated uses to be allowed with the single family residences will reflect the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. Agricultural activities may include growing wheat, barley, and prairie grass, and supporting some livestock including horses, cows, sheep and chickens on the large undeveloped portions of the property. Applicant is choosing to utilize the Weld County PUD development process to create the two lots due to recent changes in the Recorded Exemption regulations that impact residual lot size. The development currently has a single family residence and one agricultural shed constructed within the proposed Lot 1 area utilizing the existing and approved south access on Weld County Road 1. The development is situated above any agricultural ditches and has been and will continue to be farmed using dry land agricultural practices. No gas or oil wells exist on the property. According to FEMA Flood Insurance Maps and the Weld County Public Works Department, the property is not located in a floodplain. There are no current municipal or Weld County approved subdivisions within/ mile of the site. The Town of Mead's Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map identifies the site as Agricultural for the Town's future planning purposes. The Weld County Code specific development guide (Section 27-6) sets forth the standards and conditions for development within the PUD. The development guide addresses eight (8) major components of the PUD development in order to evaluate compliance of the proposal. The following information reflects the specific development guidelines for the North Country PUD. 1. Environmental Impacts 2 The following information addresses the potential environmental impacts the North Country PUD two-lot development may have on the site, as well as neighboring sites, and how the North Country PUD development will plan for and accommodate those impacts. A. Noise and Vibration The North Country PUD two-lot development will have uses that reflect the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. Agricultural activities may include growing wheat, barley, and prairie grass, and supporting some livestock including horses, cows, sheep and chickens. Other than for standard residential and agricultural farming activities, no other machinery or equipment will be used on the properties creating noise or vibration impacts to neighboring sites. B. Smoke, Dust and Odors The North Country PUD two-lot development will have uses that reflect the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. Agricultural activities may include growing wheat, barley, and prairie grass, and supporting some livestock including horses, cows, sheep and chickens. Measures will be incorporated during residential and agricultural activities, including construction and farming, that will minimize smoke, dust and odors emanating from those events. No other activities will be allowed to take place that generate smoke, dust and odors that negatively impact neighboring sites. C. Heat, Light and Glare The North Country PUD two-lot development will have exterior lighting for residential and agricultural uses that will be low intensity and directed so as to not affect neighboring sites. No unusual heat or glare will be generated from the residential and agricultural practices. D. Visual/Aesthetic Impacts The North Country PUD two-lot development will have very low density that reflects the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. The very low residential density and agricultural practices are consistent with neighboring sites and will not create visual and/or aesthetic impacts for neighboring sites. E. Electrical Interference 3 The North Country PUD two-lot development will have uses that reflect the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. No activities will be allowed that create electrical interference impacts to neighboring sites. F. Water Pollution The North Country PUD two-lot development will institute Best Management Practices to control run off during residential construction and farming activities to mitigate potential water pollution. No ditches or waterways exist on or near the property. Therefore, surface run off generated on site will be directed to the existing drainage course that traverses generally from south to north. Internal driveways within the development will incorporate drainage swales to direct surface runoff to the existing drainage course. Culverts are installed at both of the existing access points to facilitate access to the lots without interfering with the existing drainage course. Due to the size of the individual lots, historical flow patterns and storm water run off amounts that are generated onsite will be naturally maintained without an engineered storm water diversion and detention system. No additional measures will be necessary to control potential water pollution. G. Wastewater Disposal The North Country PUD two-lot development will follow the recommended and approved design and construction specifications for individual wastewater treatment systems for site specific conditions. No public sewer systems exist within two miles of the property. Therefore, domestic sewage system for the development will be individual on-lot septic disposal systems. The existing residence on the south Lot 1 has an approved septic system. A new residence constructed on the north Lot 2 will also incorporate an approved septic system. H. Wetland Removal The North Country PUD two-lot development is located on dry land property, with no natural or man-made water sources, and no wetlands present on the site. Therefore, no wetland removal will occur with the development of this property. I. Erosion and Sedimentation 4 The North Country PUD two-lot development will institute Best Management Practices during residential construction and farming activities to mitigate potential erosion and sedimentation from occurring. Permanent landscaping, hard surfaces and pasture grass will control erosion and sedimentation over the extended life of the development. J. Excavating, Filling and Grading The North Country PUD two-lot development will require only minimal earthwork to construct the single new residence and extend the existing driveway on Lot 2. During construction, temporary measures will be put in place to limit impacts of excavating, filling and grading. Upon completion of construction, the disturbed areas will be reseeded with native drought tolerant grasses. K. Drilling, Ditching and Dredging The North Country PUD two-lot development will require only minimal earthwork to construct the single new residence and extend the driveway on Lot 2. Other than constructing drainage swales along the driveway, no drilling, ditching or dredging activities will occur for the residential and agricultural activities. If, at a future date, the Mineral Estate owner seeks to extract minerals, it will be the responsibility of that Mineral Estate owner to seek proper approvals from the County and State for any drilling activities on the site. L. Air Pollution The North Country PUD two-lot development will institute Best Management Practices to control impacts of residential construction and farming activities on air quality. The very low density development will have low impact on air quality and pollution. M. Solid Waste The North Country PUD two-lot development will utilize legally authorized solid waste haulers to collect and transport the generated residential solid waste to a permitted land fill. N. Wildlife Removal 5 The North Country PUD two-lot development will continue to have dry land farming practices occur on the property. Due to the historic and proposed farming practices, no wildlife will need to be removed from the site. O. Natural Vegetation Removal The North Country PUD two-lot development will continue to have dry land farming practices occur on the property. Due to the historic and proposed farming practices, no natural vegetation exists on or will need to be removed from the site. P. Radiation/Radioactive Material The North Country PUD two-lot development will have land uses that reflect the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. There are no known radioactive materials present on the site. No activities will be allowed that place radioactive material on the site. Q. Drinking Water Source The North Country PUD two-lot development will receive domestic water service from the Longs Peak Water District. Service to the two lots will be from the District's water lines located in Weld County Road 1. A residential water tap is in place and active for the existing residence for the south Lot 1. No additional waterline construction is necessary to provide service to the single new residential water tap for the north Lot 2. The Water District incorporates the requirements for acquisition of water rights with each water tap issued in order to ensure a permanent supply of water. The Water District's treatment and transmission facilities are subject to the Colorado Department of Health permitting and testing. The District also encourages and promotes water conservation. R. Traffic impacts The North Country PUD two-lot development will generate 19 vehicle trips per day on Weld County Road 1, according to the Weld County Public Works Department. Because the south Lot 1 has an existing residence, only half of those generated vehicle trips will create new impacts to Weld County Road 1 with the completion of the Lot 2 residence. The North Country PUD two-lot development has an existing approved access permit (AP11-00401) for two accesses on Weld County Road 1 that will serve each lot. The 6 south approved entrance is used to serve the existing residence on Lot 1, and the north approved entrance, which is currently used for agricultural activities, will be used to serve the north Lot 2. These two accesses align with two residential accesses directly across the street and will create no new stopping points for school buses. Both existing accesses will lead to gravel driveways. Both existing accesses meet the minimum access requirements related to line of sight, distance between, culvert size and access width. No additional roadway or access construction will be necessary for the site. 2. Service Provisions Impacts The following information addresses the North Country PUD two-lot development provisions to ensure that services have been adequately planned for and are available to serve the site now and into the future. A. Schools The North Country PUD two-lot development will be located within the service area of the St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1(J). The Mead elementary school, middle school and high school will provide service for the site. Based upon the available school capacity analysis by the School District, a cash-in-lieu school capacity mitigation fee will be due for the creation of one new residential unit on Lot 2. This cash-in-lieu school capacity mitigation fee will be made payable prior to the residential building permit phase for Lot 2. The cash-in-lieu school capacity mitigation fee was previously paid for Lot 1 prior to construction of the existing residence. Maintaining the two existing approved accesses, located directly across the street from existing residences, will create no new bus stops necessary for the School District bus service. B. Law Enforcement The North Country PUD two-lot development will be located within the service area of the Weld County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department currently carries out routine patrolling of the area. The Sheriff's Department has determined that no new provisions will be necessary to provide adequate service to the existing residence on the south Lot 1 or to a single new residence on the north Lot 2. C. Fire Protection 7 The North Country PUD two-lot development will be located within the service area of the Mountain View Fire Protection District. The Fire District currently carries out emergency response service for the area from Station #3 in the Town of Mead. The Fire District has determined that no new responder provisions will be necessary to provide adequate emergency response to the existing residence on the south Lot 1 or to a single new residence on the north Lot 2. However, the Fire District must review the proposal for any new structures to be constructed on either lot. Depending on the proposed structure use, additional fire suppression equipment may be necessary to meet fire flow requirements. Any new residential structure constructed on Lot 2, that equals or exceeds 3,600 gross square feet, will be required to install an approved fire sprinkler system. D. Ambulance The North Country PUD two-lot development will be located within the service area of the Mountain View Fire Protection District. The Fire District currently carries out emergency response service, including ambulance service, for the area from Station #3 in the Town of Mead. The Fire District has determined that no new responder provisions will be necessary to provide adequate emergency response to the existing residence on the south Lot 1 or to a single new residence on the north Lot 2. E. Transportation The North Country PUD two-lot development will generate 19 vehicle trips per day on Weld County Road 1, a paved Weld County collector road, according to the Weld County Public Works Department. Because the south Lot 1 has an existing residence, only half of the 19 generated vehicle trips will create new impacts to Weld County Road 1 with the completion of the Lot 2 residence. In order to accommodate future road expansion contemplated for Weld County Road 1, the North Country PUD will reserve an additional 10 feet of right-of-way, in addition to the existing 30 feet of right-of-way, for future road improvements. Weld County Road 36, adjacent to the Lot 2 north property line, is a gravel Weld County road that currently has the required 30 feet of reserved right-of-way for future road improvements. The North Country PUD two-lot development has an existing approved access permit (AP11-00401) for two accesses on Weld County Road 1 that will serve each lot. The south approved access is used to serve the existing residence on Lot 1, and the north approved access, which is currently used for agricultural activities, will be used to serve 8 the north Lot 2. Both existing accesses will lead to internal gravel, non-curbed driveways. Both existing accesses meet the minimum access requirements related to line of sight, distance between, culvert size and access width. No additional collector roadway or driveway access construction improvements will be necessary for the site. F. Traffic Analysis The North Country PUD two-lot development will generate 19 vehicle trips per day on Weld County Road 1, according to the Weld County Public Works Department. Because the south Lot 1 has an existing residence, only half of the 19 generated vehicle trips will create new impacts to Weld County Road 1 with the completion of the Lot 2 residence. Due to limited additional traffic impact on Weld County Road 1, a traffic impact analysis is not required by the Weld County Public Works Department G. Storm Drainage The North Country PUD two-lot development will institute Best Management Practices to control run off during residential construction and farming activities to mitigate potential storm drainage. No ditches or waterways exist on or near the property. Therefore, surface run off generated on site will be directed to the existing drainage course that traverses generally from south to north. Internal driveways within the development will incorporate drainage swales to direct surface runoff to the existing drainage course. Culverts are installed at both of the existing access points to facilitate access to the lots without interfering with the existing drainage course. Due to the size of the individual lots, historical flow patterns and storm water run-off amounts that are generated onsite will be naturally maintained. Therefore, the Weld County Public Works Department has waived the requirement for an engineered storm water diversion and detention system for the site. No additional measures will be necessary to control potential storm drainage on or off site. H. Utility Provisions The North Country PUD two-lot development will receive electric service from the Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association. The existing residence on the south Lot 1 has adequate electric service in place. A new residence on the north Lot 2 will be required to purchase a slack pole and electric meter from Poudre Valley REA to receive electric service from the existing Poudre Valley REA infrastructure located directly across the street. 9 The North Country PUD two-lot development will receive telephone service from CenturyLink. The existing residence on the south Lot 1 has adequate telephone service in place. A new residence on the north Lot 2 will be required to install a private service line from the street to the residence to receive telephone service installed by CenturyLink from the existing infrastructure located directly across the street. The North Country PUD two-lot development will receive natural gas (propane) service through individual, on-lot tank storage systems served by local propane providers. No natural gas utility services exist within two miles of the property. The existing residence on the south Lot 1 has propane tank storage system for heating. A new residence constructed on the north Lot 2 will also incorporate a propane tank storage system for heating. I. Water Provisions The North Country PUD two-lot development will receive domestic water service from the Longs Peak Water District. Service to the two lots will be from the District's water lines located in Weld County Road 1. A residential water tap is in place and active for the existing residence for the south Lot 1. No additional waterline construction is necessary to provide service to the single new residential water tap for the north Lot 2. The water tap for the north Lot 2 has already had the water dedication component of the tap fee satisfied. The balance of$13,300.00 must be paid to the Longs Peak Water District for the Lot 2 water tap to be activated. This fee will be paid after completion of the North Country PUD Final Plat process. The Water District incorporates the requirements for acquisition of water rights with each service tap issued in order to ensure a permanent supply of water. The Water District's treatment and transmission facilities are subject to the Colorado Department of Health permitting and testing. The Water District also encourages and promotes water conservation. The Water District water commitment letter, confirming the service conditions outlined above, was submitted for the Weld County Attorney's Office review and approval as part of the Weld County PUD Change of Zone process. J. Sewage Disposal Systems The North Country PUD two-lot development will receive sewer service through individual, on-lot disposal systems. No public sewer systems exist within two miles of 10 the property. The existing residence on the south Lot 1 has an approved septic system. A new residence constructed on the north Lot 2 will also incorporate an approved septic system.

A site specific geotechnical report will be prepared for Lot 2 for the design of an approved septic system at the time a building permit application is submitted. K. Structural Road Improvements The North Country PUD two-lot development will generate 19 vehicle trips per day on Weld County Road 1, a paved Weld County collector road, according to the Weld County Public Works Department. Because the south Lot 1 has an existing residence, only half of the 19 generated vehicle trips will create new impacts to Weld County Road 1 with the completion of the Lot 2 residence. In order to accommodate future road expansion contemplated for Weld County Road 1, the North Country PUD will reserve an additional 10 feet of right-of-way, in addition to the existing 30 feet of right-of-way, for future road improvements. Weld County Road 36, adjacent to the Lot 2 north property line, is a gravel Weld County road that currently has the required 30 feet of reserved right-of-way for future road improvements. The North Country PUD two-lot development has an existing approved access permit (AP11-00401) for two accesses on Weld County Road 1 that will serve each lot. The south approved entrance is used to serve the existing residence on Lot 1, and the north approved entrance, which is currently used for agricultural activities, will be used to serve the north Lot 2. Both existing accesses will lead to internal gravel, non-curbed driveways. Both existing accesses meet the minimum access requirements related to line of sight, distance between, culvert size and access width. No additional collector roadway structural improvements or driveway access improvements will be necessary for the site. 3.

The site currently has two existing, approved accesses on Weld County Road 1 located directly across from two existing residential driveways. The site also has a single family residence and one agricultural shed constructed on the south half of Lot B. The North Country PUD will create two approximately equal sized agricultural 'rural estate' type lots with associated uses that reflect the rural and agricultural nature of the properties. Applicant is following the Weld County PUD subdivision process in order to create the two lots due to recent changes in the Recorded Exemption regulations that impact residual lot sizes. As part of the Weld County PUD Sketch Plan Application process, the Department of Planning Services sent out information related to the proposed North Country PUD for comments from referral agencies. Many of those agencies responded either with no conflicts or some comments. Some of the agencies did not respond within the allotted period. Therefore, at the direction of the Department of Planning Services staff, applicant attempted to contact the remaining referral agencies who had not previously responded, for any potential comments or conflicts. For the Change of Zone development phase, applicant is required to summarize comments and concerns made by all referral agencies, during or after the Sketch Plan development phase, and provide and explanation of how those concerns are addressed or resolved. The following information contains summaries of the concerns or conditions of each referral agency contacted, and what actions applicant is taking to address those concerns as part of the Change of Zone development phase. Longs Peak Water District The Longs Peak Water District reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on November 17, 2013 with no conflicts and no objections. Both lots are within the Longs Peak Water District service area. The Longs Peak Water District currently has infrastructure in place to provide water service. The existing home on the south Lot 1 currently has a water tap that has been paid for and is in operation. The water tap for the north Lot 2 has already had the water dedication component of the tap fee satisfied. The balance of $13,300.00 must be paid to the Longs Peak Water District for the Lot 2 water tap to be activated. This fee will be paid after completion of the North Country PUD Final Plat process. An updated water commitment letter was prepared by Mr. Gary Allen, District Manager, and submitted on January 20, 2014 for the Weld County Attorney's Office review for the Change of Zone process. 2 Mountain View Fire Protection District The Mountain View Fire Protection District reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on December 6, 2013 with comments and requirements, but no objections. Ms. LuAnn Penfold, District Fire Marshall, specified that any new residences equal to or greater than 3,600 gross square feet constructed must provide adequate water supply for fire protection. If water supply for fire protection is not available from a fire hydrant, a residential fire sprinkler system will be accepted as an alternate to meet the required fire flow for residential structures. All other future structures proposed for either lot in the North Country PUD may require fire protection depending on the intended use of the new structure. Prior to construction of any new residences or other structures, the Mountain View Fire Protection District will be consulted and the corresponding identified fire flow requirements will be met at that time. In a follow up email from Ms. LuAnn Penfold dated January 24, 2014, she stated that the Fire District treats "a two lot subdivision the same way we have done with a recorded exemption, we ask for access and water supply for fire protection. We have not asked for a specific signage for these types of subdivisions other than a visible address for the single family home." Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, the applicant will seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a separate, specific sign for the subdivision. Weld County Sheriff The applicant spoke with Weld County Sergeant Dave Clarke, Municipal Policing Group, on January 22, 2014 regarding the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision to determine if the Weld County Sheriffs Department had any conflicts or objections. Sergeant Clarke indicated that the Weld County Sheriffs Department would have no conflicts providing service to the two lots on Weld County Road 1. Sergeant Clarke also commented that the Weld County Sheriff's Department had no requirements or rules requiring a single access point or a common subdivision sign for the two lots in the North Country PUD. Sergeant Clarke also relayed that the Weld County Sheriff's Department would provide official comments in writing if and/or when the Weld County Planning Department contacted them for such. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, the applicant will seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a separate, specific sign for the subdivision and seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a single street access point for the subdivision. 3 State of Colorado Geological Survey The Colorado Geological Survey reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on December 9, 2013 with comments and no objections. Ms. Jill Carlson, Engineering Geologist for CGS, stated in the response letter that the site appears to be suitable for the proposed residential estate/agricultural use and density. Ms. Carlson also stated that the proposed development will not preclude future subsurface resource (oil/gas) extraction. Ms. Carlson did note, however, that a site-specific, design-level geotechnical investigation should be performed on Lot 2 at the building permit application phase to determine the design criteria for the foundation. Based upon that guidance, and requirements by the Weld County Building Department, a site-specific design-level geotechnical investigation will be performed on Lot 2 as part of a residential building permit application, when needed. Longmont Conservation District The Longmont Conservation District reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on December 10, 2013 with comments and no objections. The Longmont Conservation District recommended development of a weed control plan and dust abatement plan for the site, as needed. Based upon that guidance, applicant or owner will continue to farm the vacant portion of the two lots using best farming practices for dry land farming including an active weed management plan. At the time of construction for any new structures on either proposed lot, applicant or owner will consult with Longmont Conservation District on recommended control measures for potential dust caused by temporary construction activities. United States Postal Service After meeting with applicant on January 20, 2014, the Longmont United States Postal Service office reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on January 21, 2014 with no conflicts and no objections. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, the applicant will seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a shared mailbox structure for the two lots and will place one new mailbox at the driveway access for Lot 2. The residence on Lot 1, 16898 Weld County Road 1, currently has a mailbox in place and in use. St. Vrain Valley School District RE-1(J) 4 After meeting with applicant on January 20, 2014, the Longmont St. Vrain Valley School District office reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on February 3, 2014 with comments and no objections. Mr. Ryan Kragerud, School District Planning and GIS Specialist, stated in a letter that the School District took a neutral position regarding the need for a shared access and bus stop location. Mr. Kragerud did indicate, however, that any future application for construction of a new residential building unit will require a cash-in-lieu payment to the School District to mitigate impacts to the school district caused by new students in the service area. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, the applicant will seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a single street access point for the subdivision. Applicant or owner of Lot 2 will pay the required cash-in-lieu mitigation fee to the School District at the time of application for a new residential building permit. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation At the Change of Zone pre-application meeting, applicant was given the name and contact for the mineral estate owner under the North Country PUD two-lot development. On January 30, 2014 applicant contacted Ms. Bobbi DeRose, Senior Land Analyst with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, regarding any potential surface use agreement needs. Ms. DeRose replied that Anadarko Petroleum Corporation would review the proposed North Country PUD two-lot development and respond soon with any comments. Applicant is waiting to receive a response from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation regarding any potential discussions that will need to take place before the Change of Zone process is completed. Town of Berthoud After meeting with applicant on January 22, 2014, the Town of Berthoud Planning Department reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on January 22, 2014 with no conflicts and no objections. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, no further actions are required by applicant at this time. Town of Mead After speaking with applicant on January 24, 2014, the Town of Mead Planning Department said that it would review the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision again and respond to the Weld County Planning Department thereafter with no conflicts and no objections. Based 5 upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, no further actions are required by applicant at this time. Boulder County Planning The Boulder County Land Use Department reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on November 18, 2013 with no conflicts and no objections. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, no further actions are required by applicant at this time. Weld County Zoning Compliance The Weld County Zoning Compliance Officer reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on November 18, 2013 with no conflicts and no objections. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, no further actions are required by applicant at this time. Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two-lot subdivision and responded on December 16, 2013 with no conflicts and no objections. Ms. Lauren Light, stated that individual sewage disposal systems will provide sewer for the two lots. Ms. Light also stated that the application satisfied Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in regard to water service, the application satisfied Chapter 24 of the Weld County Code in regard to sewer service, and the application adequately addressed Chapter 27 of the Weld County Code in relation to environmental impacts. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, no further actions are required by applicant at this time. Weld County Department of Public Works The Weld County Department of Public Works reviewed the North Country PUD proposed two- lot subdivision and responded on November 25, 2013 with comments and requirements, but no objections. Mr. Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator, determined that the Engineering Geology Report submitted as part of the Sketch Plan application was satisfactory and that the North Country PUD is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) as determined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Due to the average lot size, no stormwater detention 6 pond, drainage reports or erosion control plans are required as the historical flow patterns and run-off amounts will be maintained onsite. Mr. Carroll noted that the North Country PUD would generate a total of 19 vehicle trips per day based upon two single-family residential homes. Mr. Carroll pointed out that Weld County Road 1, adjacent to the west property line, is a collector road and will require 80 feet of right- of-way at full build out. Because there is only 60 feet of right-of-way currently dedicated for this road, applicant will identify an additional 10 feet of right-of-way on the plat map for future road widening. Weld County Road 36, adjacent to the north property line, is a local gravel road that requires 60 feet of right-of-way at full build out. Because 60 feet of right-of-way is currently dedicated for this road, no additional right-of-way is needed as part of this PUD process. Applicant will, however, make all appropriate county road, future right-of-way, and section corner labeling on the plat map. Mr. Carroll acknowledged that the two existing and separate access points, that were previously approved by the Weld County Public Works Department as part of Access Permit Number AP11-00401 and are currently in use, should be labeled with the Access Permit Number AP11-00401 for both lots on the plat map. Mr. Carroll also identified applicant's right to draft a letter requesting exception to paving of the driveways for the two lots. Based upon that guidance, and the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, the applicant will seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a single street access point for the subdivision in order to utilize the two existing and approved separate access points for the two lots. Applicant will also seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a paved roadway in order to maintain gravel driveways for the two lots. Weld County Department of Planning Services Applicant's North Country PUD Sketch Plan Application to the Weld County Department of Planning Services was determined complete on November, 17, 2013. Department of Planning Services staff provided comments based upon the Weld County Code chapters 19, 22, 23, 24, and 27 and determined that the North Country PUD was generally supported by the Weld County Code. Staff responded to applicant on January 10, 2014 with summary comments from the Sketch Plan development phase agency review process. In addition to the comments and concerns listed above, Staff noted that building permits are required prior to any construction, should be handled through the Weld County Department of Building Inspection, and will be subject to County-wide road impact fees, building permit fees, facility fees, and drainage impact fees. Staff also directed applicant to submit a Surface Use Agreement for the Mineral Estate. 7 Applicant is currently working with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, owner of the Mineral Estate, on a Surface Use Agreement for the Change of Zone development process. Staff pointed out that Weld County Code requires a shared public internal street system for subdivision lots. Staff also directed applicant to meet with the School District regarding any bus route concerns and to meet with the postal district to determine if a common mailbox area would be required. As stated above, neither the School District or Post Office had any conflicts or objections to the proposed two lots with separate access points and separate mail boxes. In addition, the Fire District, Sheriff's Department and Public Works Department all had no objections to the proposed two lots with separate access points. Based upon that guidance, the proposed simple two-lot Recorded Exemption type configuration of the North Country PUD, and the two existing and separate approved accesses, the applicant will seek a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a single street access point for the subdivision. Applicant also proposes to maintain the existing mailbox serving the residence at 16898 Weld County Road 1 (Lot 1) and add one single mailbox for Lot 2 when a new residence is constructed. All comments received by referral agencies are included with this document for reference. Additional details related to the North Country PUD development will be included in the North Country PUD Specific Development Guide submitted with the Change of Zone development application. 8 February 13, 2014 Mr. Kim Ogle, Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services 1555 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Subject: PUDK13-0003 - North Country PUD - Request for variance from Weld County PUD requirements, to allow for separate accesses from Weld County Road 1 into individual lots. Dear Mr. Ogle, Applicant is choosing to utilize the Weld County PUD development process to create two equal sized lots due to recent changes in the Recorded Exemption regulations that impact residual lot sizes. The North Country PUD two-lot development has an existing approved access permit (AP11-00401) for two separate accesses on Weld County Road 1 that can serve each lot. The south approved access is used to serve the existing residence on Lot 1, and the north approved access, which is currently used for agricultural activities, can be used to serve the north Lot 2. Both existing accesses meet the minimum access requirements related to line of sight, distance between, culvert size and access width. No additional collector roadway or driveway access construction improvements would be necessary for the site. Based upon referral comments from the Weld County Public Works Department, Weld County Sheriff's Department, St. Vrain Valley School District, Mountain View Fire Protection District and the Longmont United States Post Office, the two existing and separate approved accesses create no conflicts or objections if utilized for the North Country PUD two-lot development. Requiring a new common access for the two lots would cause an additional bus stopping point to be created, an additional roadway hazard point to be created, and additional farm ground to be removed from production. Therefore, the applicant requests a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a single common access point for the development. Applicant seeks approval to utilize the two existing approved accesses to serve Lot 1 and Lot 2 with no additional impacts to the site, to neighboring sites, or to County, service and emergency agencies. Sincerely, /John Frits February 13, 2014 Mr. Kim Ogle, Planner Weld County Department of Planning Services 1555 North 17th Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Subject: PUDK13-0003 - North Country PUD - Request for variance from Weld County PUD requirements, to eliminate a subdivision sign and to allow for separate mailboxes for the individual lots. Dear Mr. Ogle, Applicant is choosing to utilize the Weld County PUD development process to create two equal sized lots due to recent changes in the Recorded Exemption regulations that impact residual lot sizes. The North Country PUD two-lot development has an existing approved access permit (AP11-00401) for two separate accesses on Weld County Road 1 that can serve each lot. The south approved access has a mailbox that is used to serve the existing residence on Lot 1. A new mailbox can be placed at the north approved access to serve the north Lot 2. Based upon referral comments from the Longmont United States Post Office, the addition of one new, separate mailbox creates no conflicts or objections for mail delivery service for the North Country PUD two-lot development. Therefore, applicant requests a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a shared common mailbox location for the development. Applicant seeks approval to place one new mailbox at the north approved access for Lot 2. With the Recorded Exemption style intent of the North Country PUD two-lot development, and the request to have separate lot accesses and separate mailboxes, a shared subdivision sign would not adequately identify the lots. The Weld County Sheriff's Department, Mountain View Fire Protection District, Weld County Public Works Department, St. Vrain Valley School District and United States Post Office have no requirements for a subdivision sign for a two-lot PUD configured similar to a Recorded Exemption with two separate accesses. Therefore, applicant request a variance from the standard PUD requirements for a shared subdivision sign. Applicant seeks approval to place separate address signs at individual lot accesses and eliminate a shared subdivision sign.

The North Country PUD two-lot development is located in a non-urban area, is not adjacent to other PUD's, subdivisions, municipal or urban growth corridors, is identified as Agricultural in the Town of Mead's Comprehensive Land Use Plan for future planning purposes, and is located outside of the Weld County MUD, RUA and Intergovernmental Agreement areas. The North Country PUD will create two approximately equal sized agricultural 'rural estate' type lots. The rural and agricultural nature of the properties will be reflected in the associated uses. Agricultural activities may include growing wheat, barley, and prairie grass, and supporting some livestock including horses, cows, sheep and chickens on the large undeveloped portions of the lots. Based upon the Recorded Exemption style of PUD, the rural location and proposed residential and agricultural uses, and no conflicts or objections from referral agencies, applicant requests a variance from the standard PUD requirement for common open space, landscaping requirements for the common open space, and a homeowner's association to oversee control and condition of the common open space. Applicant seeks approval to not include common open space for the two large agriculturally active lots, and to not create a governing homeowner's association or landscape requirements for such common open space. Sincerely, 'ehn Frit/ i' February 13, 2014 Mr. Donald Carroll, Engineering Administrator Weld County Public Works Department 1111 H Street Greeley, Colorado 80632 Subject: PUDK13-0003 - North Country PUD - Request for variance from Weld County PUD requirements, to allow for separate gravel driveway accesses from Weld County Road 1. Dear Mr. Carroll, Applicant is choosing to utilize the Weld County PUD development process to create two equal sized lots due to recent changes in the Recorded Exemption regulations that impact residual lot sizes. The North Country PUD two-lot development has an existing approved access permit (AP11-00401) for two separate accesses on Weld County Road 1 that can serve each lot. The south approved access is used to serve the existing residence on Lot 1, and the north approved access, which is currently used for agricultural activities, can be used to serve the north Lot 2. Both existing accesses meet the minimum access requirements related to line of sight, distance between, culvert size and access width. No additional collector roadway or driveway access construction improvements would be necessary for the site. Based upon referral comments from the Weld County Public Works Department, Weld County Sheriffs Department, St. Vrain Valley School District, Mountain View Fire Protection District and the Longmont United States Post Office, the two existing and separate approved accesses create no conflicts or objections if utilized for the North Country PUD two-lot development. Requiring a new common access for the two lots would cause an additional bus stopping point to be created, an additional roadway hazard point to be created, and additional farm ground to be removed from production. In addition, the standard PUD requirement for paved and gutter internal roadways is a significant financial burden on the applicant and does not fit the intent of the Recorded Exemption style two-lot PUD. Therefore, the applicant requests a variance from the standard PUD requirement for a single, paved common access road for the development. Applicant seeks approval to utilize the two existing approved accesses to serve Lot 1 and Lot 2, and to maintain both gravel driveways, with no additional impacts to the site, to neighboring sites, or to County, service and emergency agencies.

Erik and I met to discuss the project. Below are the St. Vrain Valley School District's comments. One of the issues we discussed was whether the District preferred one or accesses to County Line Road. The District is neutral regarding this issue. The District has reviewed the development proposal in terms of (1) available school capacity, (2) required land dedications and/or cash-in-lieu fees and (3) transportation/access considerations and has noted comments on this page and the enclosed attachment. A CIL payment will be due for the creation of a new buildable unit, payable at building permit. This conclusion is based on the accompanying chart that indicates Mead MS will exceed the 125% Capacity Benchmark in the 2017- 18 school year. The District is monitoring this situation and in the event Mead Middle School becomes over crowded, the District may take any of the strategies listed on the accompanying page, under mitigation options. Should this development be approved, the options for managing the short and long term overcrowding in the middle school may include adding modular classrooms and implementing split or staggered schedules as needed. Other options may include, but not limited to, implementing year-round schools or asking voters to approve new bonds for additional school facilities or a mill levy for additional operating funds. It should be noted that a lack of operating funds may be a factor in delaying construction and occupancy of new school facilities in this area. Detailed information on the specific capacity issues, the cash-in-lieu/land dedication requirements and transportation impacts for this proposal follow in Attachment A. The recommendation of the District noted above applies to the attendance boundaries current as of the date of this letter. These attendance boundaries may change in the future. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this referral, please feel free to contact me via e-mail at kragerudryan@styran.k12.co.us or by calling 303-682-7317.

ATTACHMENT A-Specific Project Analysis PROJECT: North Country PUD (1) SCHOOL CAPACITY The Board of Education has established a District-wide policy of reviewing new development projects in terms of the impact on existing and approved school facilities within the applicable feeder system. Any residential project within the applicable feeder that causes the 125% school benchmark capacity to be exceeded within 5 years would not be supported. This determination includes both existing facilities and planned facilities from a voter-approved bond. The building capacity, including existing and new facilities, along with the impact of this proposal and all other approved development projects for this feeder is noted in the chart below.

Specific comments concerning this proposal regarding School Capacity are as follows: ✓ Specific Impact: This application will create the potential to add 1 new dwelling unit with a potential impact of 1 additional student in the Mead Elementary, Mead Middle and Mead High School Feeder. ✓ Benchmark Determination - Mead Middle school is projected to exceed 125% of capacity in 5 years with students from this development. The School District is therefore not supporting this application at this time. ✓ Additional Capacity Impacts - No new improvements are scheduled at the middle school level. In order to increase capacity at the middle school level a new bond would have to be passed. ✓ Mitigation Options - Weld County and the developer should also be aware that the School Board has developed a mitigation policy that would assist in providing capacity for the new students in this subdivision. Under the policy, should an applicant wish to begin construction on a residential development prior to the District's ability to provide additional capacity, the applicant may mitigate the development's impact on the feeder by agreeing to a voluntary, per-unit payment. Funds would be used to provide permanent or temporary capacity within the impacted feeder. The Planning Department would be happy to discuss this type of mitigation for the proposal with either the town or developer. (2) LAND DEDICATIONS AND CASH IN-LIEU FEES The implementation of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Concerning Fair Contributions for Public School Sites by the City of Longmont requires that the applicant either dedicate land directly to the School District along with provision of the adjacent infrastructure and/or pay cash-in-lieu (CIL) fees based on the student yield of the development. CIL fees only provide funds for land acquisition, which is only a small component of providing additional school capacity for a feeder. Specific comments regarding land dedications and CIL fees for this referral are as follows: ✓ Dedication and/or Cash-in-lieu Requirements - The District does not anticipate the need for another school site in this area. Since no land dedication is required, CIL fees will be assessed. Current fees are included on the attached chart; however fees paid will be those in effect at the time of payment. ✓ Number of Units covered by dedication/cash-in-lieu - All residential units will be subject to CIL fees. ✓ Dedication/Cash-in-lieu Procedures - Cash-in-lieu payments are to be made to the St. Vrain Valley School District Business Office -395 S. Pratt Parkway, Longmont, CO. 3)TRANSPORTATION/ACCESS Transportation considerations for a project deal with busing and pedestrian access to and from the subdivision. Pedestrian access, in particular, is an important goal of the School District in order to facilitate community connection to schools and to minimize transportation costs. Specific comments for this application are as follows: V Provision of Busing - Busing for this project, under the current boundaries, would most likely be provided.
