Site Plan Presentation Town of Windsor Subdivision Windsor Mill redevelopment Old Windsor Mill, LLC., applicant/ Steve Schroyer, Old Windsor Mill LLC, applicant s representative Staff presentation: Josh Olhava, Senior Planner Per Mr. Olhava, the applicant, Old Windsor Mill LLC., represented by Mr. Steve Schroyer, is proposing a plan for the redevelopment of the historic Windsor Mill site. The site is zoned General Commercial (GC) and is surrounded by other commercial properties to the east and west; and residential properties to the south. Site characteristics include: redevelopment of the approximately 35,500 square foot lot; restoring many of the existing historic elements of the structure and site; incorporating new modern elements to the structure and site; relocation of the grain bin to be partially used as an outdoor stage; added outdoor seating for the future tenants of the site; new entrances on the north side of the Mill building; and new site elements, including: o parking 15 off-street spaces o restriping of Main and 3rd Streets to accommodate more parking and improve pedestrian connectivity and safety; o open space and landscaping approximately 9,100 square feet or 25.6% of the site; and o hardscape (sidewalks, pathways and patios) approximately 7,300 square feet or 20.5% of the site. Mr. Steven Schroyer provided color renderings of the site plan to the Planning Commission as well as future tenant plans which include a tavern and other entertainment spaces with outdoor patios. Office space is planned for the second and third floor with a community room on the fourth floor. The clean-up efforts are currently taking place and are near completion. Other elements currently taking place include: major foundation repairs masonry work interior structural repair elevator shaft foundation Exterior excavation/utility coordination Moving the silo Continued lease efforts

7 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 3 of 16 Mr. Scheffel inquired about parking at the site. Mr. Schroyer stated they felt it was important to develop a gathering space or entertainment area so that is why there is a lot of patio space which draws people to the building. Mr. Schroyer stated they are working with the Town and CDOT on diagonal parking spaces along Main Street and 3 rd Street. The peak office hours are during the day so those spaces will be available in the evenings as well. Mr. Scheffel inquired as to how many spaces will be on the street. Mr. Schroyer stated they are currently working with engineers and a traffic engineer to see what options are available but a rough number is about 74 spaces along the two frontages of the property. Mr. Ballstadt stated the Town is working with a consulting firm to review and plan parking at The Mill site as well as parking in downtown in general. When the parking code was amended for the downtown area the repurposed buildings were not required to provide the same parking counts as required in newer development. This was done to encourage and incentivize redevelopment in downtown. 2. Site Plan Presentation Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church Annexation Building Addition Reverend Gregg Pedersen, Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, applicant/ Adam Hermanson, Integration Design Group, applicant s representative Staff presentation: Josh Olhava, Senior Planner Per Mr. Olhava, the applicant, Reverend Gregg Pedersen of Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, represented by Mr. Adam Hermanson, has submitted a site plan amendment for the building expansion at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church. The site is zoned Single Family Residential (SF-1) and is surrounded by residential properties to the west and north; and Eastman Park to the south. Characteristics include: an expansion of the existing footprint (approximately 27,000 square feet) by approximately 21,000 square feet; the addition and reallocation of landscaping and open space to equal 67% of the total lot area; maintaining 245 parking stalls (1 stall/ 3 seats in sanctuary); and façade materials to match the existing building, with the modification of some façade elements. 3. Public Hearing Conditional Use Grant Timberline Temporary Classroom Joe Luethmers, Timberline Church, applicant Quasi-judicial action Staff presentation: Carlin Barkeen, Chief Planner Mr. Schick opened up the public hearing.

8 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 4 of 16 Per Ms. Barkeen, the request before the Planning Commission for the conditional use grant (CUG) is for a temporary modular classroom. The use is not allowed in any zone district without a CUG and the application was reviewed in accordance with the CUG criteria. The property is located east of Crossroads Boulevard, west of State Highway 257 and north of Rancho Drive. The existing use is a church and they would be having the modular classroom for an anticipated 1-2 year time frame. The site is zoned residential mixed use (RMU) and the land use plan shows this area as commercial. The applicant has provided photos in lieu of drawing elevations to show approximately what the structure will look like. It will be located behind existing buildings. Staff recommends the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Board of the conditional use grant for a period of three years as presented. Staff requests the following be entered into the record: Application and supplemental materials Staff memorandum and supporting documents All testimony presented during the Public Hearing Recommendation Mr. Tallon moved to close the public hearing; Mr. Annable seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. 4. Recommendation to Town Board Conditional Use Grant Timberline Temporary Classroom Joe Luethmers, Timberline Church, applicant Quasi-judicial action Staff presentation: Carlin Barkeen, Chief Planner Ms. Barkeen had nothing further to add. Mr. Harding inquired if there will be in screening of the modular classroom. Mr. Joe Luethmers stated there will be skirting around the modular, the wheels will be removed as will the hitch. Mr. Dennison inquired if the modular will be red. Mr. Luethmers stated the color will not be red and will instead match the building as the picture was used as a reference to how they will look. Mr. Tallon moved to forward a recommendation of approval of the Conditional Use Grant subject to staff conditions to the Town Board; Mr. Harding seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried.

9 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 5 of Public Hearing Conditional Use Grant Windsor North Annex/Frye North Oil and Gas Pad Erin Mathews, Extraction Oil and Gas, applicant / Chris Frye, property owner Quasi-judicial action Staff presentation: Carlin Barkeen, Chief Planner Mr. Schick opened the public hearing. Per Ms. Barkeen, the application before the Planning Commission is for 13 oil and gas wells and associated facilities. The application was reviewed in accordance with the municipal code. The property is not located within a flood plain and is approximately one half mile northwest of County Road 76 and State Highway 257. The site is zoned residential mixed use (RMU) and is identified in Windsor s Land Use Plan as RMU. The closest residence is approximately 680 feet from the proposed facility. There are items being considered on the site plan including easements, access and the landscaping and berming. Notifications were completed in accordance with the municipal code. There were 33 residents that attended the community meeting. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward to the Town Board a recommendation of approval with the following conditions: 1. All Planning Commission and staff comments shall be addressed. 2. The Town s standard conditions of approval for oil and gas facilities. Rich Stover, 1502 Bromborough Dr, Windsor, CO stated he is opposed to the application. Mr. Stover did not see any elevations of the fracking wells versus the elevation of the berming and landscaping. With the area being close to the east entrance to Windsor, the area should look better than just a fracking well. Mr. Ballstadt stated the site is actually located west of Highway 257 and north of County Road 76 so it is in the extreme northern portion of Windsor. Ti Bensen, 7527 County Road 76, Windsor, CO stated their property is adjacent to the well. Ms. Bensen stated she has no desire to try and stop the process but a wedding has been planned for September 9, 2017 and asked that the applicant consider that date and wait until after the wedding. Mr. Tallon moved to close the public hearing; Mr. Harding seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried.

10 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 6 of Recommendation to Town Board Conditional Use Grant Windsor North Annex/Frye North Oil and Gas Pad Erin Mathews, Extraction Oil and Gas, applicant / Chris Frye, property owner Quasi-judicial action Staff presentation: Carlin Barkeen, Chief Planner Ms. Barkeen stated Patty Varra with Extraction Oil and Gas is believed to be in contact with Ms. Bensen and they will work on a time frame. Mr. Blane Thingelstad with Extraction Oil and Gas stated the wedding scheduled for September 9, 2017 can be accommodated and apologized for any stress that may have caused Ms. Bensen. Mr. Schick inquired if the applicant has read the conditions set forth by the Town. Mr. Thingelstad stated they have and the only comment regarding the conditions is that they were working with the landowner with respect to screening. They would like to use fencing and trees rather than berming to try and conserve the surface area. Mr. Schick commented that could be discussed with staff. Mr. Ballstadt stated if the Planning Commission is comfortable with allowing staff to work with the applicant on that then that is something that could be included in the approval. Mr. Scheffel inquired if the language is standard when it comes to oil and gas in terms of landscaping and berming. Mr. Ballstadt stated those are the standard comments that the Town has used in the past. Mr. Scheffel commented that if the requirement is berming and not fencing, which would need to be maintained, he will not be in support of anything other than landscaping and berming. Mr. Ballstadt stated direction would be needed from the Planning Commission if they would allow the applicant and staff to discuss screening options. Mr. Harding stated he is in agreement with Mr. Scheffel. Mr. Dennison commented that there needs to be consideration to the landowner and what their plans are for the surface and inquired as to what the use will be for the surface. Mr. Thingelstad stated in general when Extraction Oil and Gas has work with developers in the past, they work towards an agreement with the amount of land needed for the working space and what the final disturbed area will be with a reclamation plan that blends in with the developer s plan. The developer does not have a finalized plan at this point. Mr. Thingelstad stated the berms can be put up and asked that the berms be modified when the future use is determined. Mr. Tallon stated he believes the berming is important.

11 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 7 of 16 Mr. Annable commented that it does not make sense to scale back screening if there are currently no development plans. Mr. Schick stated he agrees with Mr. Scheffel when it comes to berming. The consensus of the Planning Commission is to stay with berming instead of using trees and fencing. Mr. Ballstadt commented that both the Planning Commission and Town Board worked with Extraction Oil and Gas and Great Western Oil and Gas on the standard conditions of approval in the past. Mr. Scheffel inquired about Extraction Oil and Gas having seen the conditions of approval previously. Per Mr. Ballstadt; the applications are looked at on a site by site basis based on the context of the site as well. Mr. Tallon moved to forward a recommendation to the Town Board of approval of the conditional use grant subject to staff conditions; Mr. Harding seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. 7. Public Hearing Conditional Use Grant Temporary gravel parking at Power to Play site Jon Turner, Hillside Commercial Group, applicant/ Mike Walker, TB Group, applicant s representative Quasi-judicial action Staff presentation: Josh Olhava, Senior Planner Mr. Schick opened the public hearing. Per Mr. Olhava, the applicant, Mr. Jon Turner, represented by Mr. Mike Walker, is requesting a conditional use grant to allow temporary gravel parking west of and adjacent to the existing Power to Play site. The site is zoned general commercial (GC) and is surrounded by other commercial and limited industrial properties. The temporary gravel parking lot will provide 180 overflow parking spaces for the Power to Play site. The applicant is working on formal site plan applications for this area where the temporary parking is proposed and adjacent lots. These site plans will include shared, permanent parking between retail users and the existing Power to Play facility. Neither the Comprehensive Plan nor the Vision 2025 documents address temporary site elements.

12 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 8 of 16 Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the Conditional Use Grant application to the Town Board as presented, subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant and property owner shall include with their revised drawings a way of protecting the existing fire hydrants adjacent to the temporary parking. 2. The applicant and property owner shall include a plan and notes with their revised drawings prohibiting and restricting vehicle access to the parking area directly from Fairgrounds Avenue. Such plan should include, but not be limited to, temporary construction fencing of the temporary parking area and/or Fairgrounds Avenue and Crooked Stick Drive. 3. The applicant and property owner shall install no parking signs along Crooked Stick Drive in accordance with the exhibit sent to the applicant/property owner as part of the review process. 4. The applicant and property owner shall submit their dust abatement and maintenance plan to the Town along with their revised site drawings. 5. Any gravel or other debris tracked from the temporary parking area onto the public street shall be removed and cleaned within twenty-four (24) hours. 6. The temporary parking shall be installed and approval obtained by April 28, 2017 or the temporary certificate of occupancy will be revoked by the Town. 7. The conditional use grant shall expire in three years from the date of approval. Staff request the following be entered into the record: 1. Staff memorandum and supporting document 2. Application and supplemental material 3. All testimony presented during the public hearing 4. Recommendation Rich Stover, 1502 Bromborough Dr, Windsor, CO stated he believes it is a good decision to post no parking signs along Crooked Stick and also opposes a three year expiration timeframe for the conditional use grant. Mr. Stover also commented that the building is beyond its capacity and the fire marshal is ignoring that. Mr. Stover commented that there should be a left hand turn into Power to Play and inquired as to when the site will be completed. Rick Myers, 5962 Black Lion Ct, Windsor CO is concerned about the recommendation concerning no parking on Crooked Stick as it will push parking outward into the other residential streets. Mr. Tallon moved to close the public hearing; Mr. Harding seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. 8. Recommendation to Town Board Conditional Use Grant Temporary gravel parking at Power to Play site Jon Turner, Hillside Commercial Group, applicant/ Mike Walker, TB Group, applicant s representative

13 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 9 of 16 Quasi-judicial action Staff presentation: Josh Olhava, Senior Planner Mr. Olhava stated Power to Play has a temporary certificate of occupancy that expires in April. When a temporary certificate of occupancy is issued a punch list is also provided of the outstanding items which are usually cosmetic or aesthetic elements of the site. A site review was completed last week. Mr. Jon Turner, stated striping of the street is scheduled and will be completed as weather warms up. Mr. Turner stated the site is under a temporary certification of occupancy. Punch list items have been scheduled and staff has been great to work with as the project has been challenging. The project started off with significant architectural errors which set the project back almost a year. When the facility was opened in February, the response was great. Originally it was expected to serve 80,000 individuals and now it is expected to serve 250,000 a year. Mr. Turner stated he has been at the facility on the weekends monitoring parking. Crooked Stick Drive between Highland Meadows Parkway and Fairgrounds Avenue is probably the least used east and west arterial. There are a lot of arterials in Town with bike lanes in them. Mr. Turner stated he feels it is a mistake to put no parking signs on Crooked Stick for the entire length but it is reasonable to post signs on part of the road; if there is no parking it could flow into the residential areas. Mr. Turner stated even with these 180 parking spaces at 90-95% capacity, people just tend to look for other places to park and the goal is the keep these people out of the single family residential area and keep them in the commercial area. There are immediate plans to build commercial in the area and there will be 180 permanent paved parking spaces that are being planned for this facility along with other commercial along Fairgrounds Avenue and Crooked Stick. The reason the CUG is three years is that is the length of time proposed from the Town. Mr. Schick inquired if no parking on one side of Crooked Stick could be an option. Mr. Ballstadt stated a conversation has taken place with other Town departments and the majority of the complaints that have been received pertain to parking on Crooked Stick Drive and safety of individuals crossing Crooked Stick Drive. Both sides of the street are striped for a bicycle lane and are depicted as such on the Town s Trails and Bike Master Plan. Mr. Harding inquired if no parking on Crooked Stick will push parking out into residential. Mr. Ballstadt stated it is the applicant s responsibility to provide off-street parking and the intent of this application is to provide the onsite parking so that the parking will not get pushed into the neighborhood. Mr. Harding inquired if the permanent parking will go where the temporary parking will be. Mr. Turner stated there is a plan for the permanent parking to be a little closer to the building to allow retail fronting on Fairgrounds Avenue. Mr. Harding inquired as to when the permanent parking lot will be constructed.

14 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 10 of 16 Mr. Turner stated preliminary plans were done immediately and staff was contacted. A number of applications are currently submitted to the Town. Mr. Harding inquired if the worst case scenario would be a year before the lot was completed. Mr. Olhava stated it would depend on when the final plan was submitted as the concept drawings are currently being reviewed. Potentially the applicant could have an approved site plan by mid-summer. Mr. Harding inquired about the items that have not been addressed on the building itself and now there will be more conditions on the applicant. Mr. Olhava stated the building items are separate from the CUG request before the Planning Commission. Mr. Ballstadt stated he is giving Mr. Turner a lot of credit as he wasn t as involved previously as he has been since the issues on the site have come up. The reason the Town has a little more confidence that it will get done is because Mr. Turner has taken the lead to help the team that started the project get back on track. Mr. Turner stated he has been developing in that area for 22 years and when Windsor calls the phone call gets picked up or returned. The punch list was 45 items when Mr. Turner got involved and that list is down to 4-6 items now. Communication with staff is and has been great. Mr. Tallon moved to re-open the public hearing; Mr. Scheffel seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. Rich Stover, 1502 Bromborough Dr, Windsor, CO commented that there is a lot of development in Windsor and feels commercial areas should not be allowed to park on the streets. Mr. Annable moved to close the public hearing; Mr. Tallon seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. Mr. Annable inquired if there is a way to have permanent parking installed now that would line up with the future development plans, thus avoiding the expense and trouble of putting in a temporary lot to then take it out for the permanent lot. Mr. Turner stated he was told he will lose 6% of the base so it is pretty insignificant. Base material will be brought in and that will be the base for the parking lot. As soon as the facility opened the problem was recognized. The parking estimate was good but the amount of business through the facility was not expected. Individuals are coming to the facility and staying for an average of five hours. It was also estimated the amount of

15 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 11 of 16 vehicles expected per kid was 1.5 cars but that amount has risen to almost three cars per kid. Mr. Scheffel inquired about the three year time frame on the CUG. Mr. Ballstadt stated it is a condition of approval that staff has used in the past so that the conditional use is not open-ended; three years was not something that Mr. Turner proposed. Mr. Scheffel inquired if a hardship would be caused if the time frame was reduced to two years. Per Mr. Turner; not at all. Mr. Scheffel inquired if there is any seasonality to the business. Per Mr. Turner; none as the facility is booked 48 weekends out of the year and two of the four open weekends are currently being booked. Mr. Annable inquired about the dust mitigation condition. Mr. Olhava stated the dust mitigation plan will need to be maintained while they have the gravel parking lot. Mr. Tallon moved to forward a recommendation of approval to the Town Board of the conditional use grant subject to staff conditions with a two year time frame; Mr. Annable seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. 9. Recommendation to Town Board Final Site Plan South Hill 4 th Filing, Lot 1 Larry Buckendorf, Pelican Bluffs Holdings, LLC, applicant/morgan Kidder, Pelican Bluffs Holdings, LLC, applicant s representative Quasi-judicial Staff presentation: Carlin Barkeen, Chief Planner Per Ms. Barkeen, the applicant, Mr. Larry Buckendorf of Pelican Bluffs Holdings, LLC, has submitted a final site plan known as South Hill 4th Filing, Lot 1. The preliminary site plan was reviewed at the February 15, 2017 regular Planning Commission meeting. Since that time the applicant has provided a final site plan. The final site plan is consistent with the preliminary site plan with few changes. The site plan was reviewed in accordance with Chapter 17 of the municipal code regarding final site plan procedures and criteria. The site is located approximately 1/3 mile east of 7 th Street and north of Crossroads Boulevard and encompasses approximately 4.8 acres. The property is currently zoned as residential mixed use (RMU). The use of multi-family is a permitted use. Site characteristics include: 42 multi-family units;

16 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 12 of 16 Clubhouse and pool; Tot lot/playground; 93 parking spaces, which include accessible parking spaces; approximately 13% of the site will be building coverage; approximately 58% of the site to be HOA maintained open space and landscaping; approximately 18% of the site to be HOA maintained private drives and parking areas; landscaped berms and increased landscaping along Crossroads Blvd corridor, landscaped berms abutting adjacent development to the north; and sidewalk and trail connections throughout, approximately 10% of the site. Building characteristics include: lap siding as the predominant façade material; stone treatment around the base of buildings and columns, gables to break up roofline; and covered decks and porches. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the final site plan to the Town Board as presented, subject to the following condition: 1. All remaining Planning Commission and staff comments shall be addressed. Mr. Morgan Kidder made a brief presentation to the Planning Commission on the Pelican Bluffs multi-family units. Mr. Tallon moved to forward a recommendation of approval of the final site plan to the Town Board as presented subject to staff conditions; Mr. Dennison seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. 10. Recommendation to Town Board - Adoption of Common Development Standards for the Weld County portion of the Windsor Growth Management Area in accordance with the Windsor Weld County Coordinated Planning Agreement Legislative action Staff presentation: Scott Ballstadt, Director of Planning Per Mr. Ballstadt, in 2015, the Town and Weld County adopted the enclosed Coordinated Planning Agreement (CPA) regarding land use within Windsor s Growth Management Area (GMA). Resolution No adopting the CPA also directed the Town Manager and staff to work cooperatively with County representatives to draft a set of common development standards in accordance with Section 5 of the CPA. In late 2015, the Town Board and Board of County Commissioners exchanged a first draft of the development standards and the matter was tabled at that time. Following the joint meeting of the two boards on July 12, 2016, staff was directed to bring the standards back for

17 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 13 of 16 consideration. A focus group consisting of two members from each board met on November 15, 2016 to provide staff direction to be incorporated into the draft standards and a joint work session of both boards was held at Weld County on January 4, The enclosed development standards reflect the hard work and input of both boards that has taken place over the past several months. The enclosed development standards pertain to site access, screening of outdoor storage, lighting, signage and paved parking within Windsor s GMA. They are proposed to mitigate negative impacts between potentially incompatible land uses and to establish consistency between development that occurs in unincorporated Weld County in close proximity to development within the Town of Windsor. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward to the Town Board a recommendation of approval of the enclosed common development standards in accordance with Section 5 of the Weld County Coordinated Planning Agreement. Mr. Scheffel inquired if there was any discussion on electronic signs. Mr. Ballstadt stated there was not as that would be a tough subject to come to an agreement on. Mr. Tallon moved to forward to the Town Board a recommendation of approval of the common development standards in accordance with Section 5 of the Weld County Coordinated Planning Agreement; Mr. Harding seconded the motion. Roll call on the vote resulted as follows: Yeas Schick, Tallon, Dennison, McWilliams, Scheffel, Harding, Annable Nays None Motion carried. D. COMMUNICATIONS 1. Communications from the Planning Commission Mr. Scheffel inquired if there is a minimum requirement for open space. Mr. Ballstadt stated the current code does have minimum amounts of open space by lot as well as by RMU zoning districts as well as commercial/industrial lots. Mr. Scheffel inquired if the staff report could include the minimum open space requirement. Mr. Ballstadt confirmed that staff can include the minimum open space requirement in the memo for comparison information. Mr. Dennison commented that it can be difficult at oil and gas sites to balance what the surface owner wants versus the regulatory requirements. 2.

Power to Play site and building modifications Mr. Olhava stated there have been site and building modification at the Power to Play site, which include: The drainage and sidewalk along the western side of the building was modified from the original site plan. Staff worked with the applicant and their team on a solution that is complete. The trail that was required along Crooked Stick Drive was not installed per the approved site plan drawings. Due to utility and site constraints, staff is working with the applicant to allow an alternative east to west trail connection that connects the trail along Highland Meadows Parkway to the future trail along Fairgrounds Avenue. This is being captured in an amendment to the development agreement for the subdivision. The sidewalk and landscape island in front of building was relocated to allow better site circulation and provide better pedestrian safety. This change was discussed early on with staff and staff did not see any issues with this modification. Sidewalk widths were reduced along the east of the building and eastern parking areas. Staff is working with the applicant on this requirement to meet code requirements and provides safe pedestrian circulation around the site. Landscape islands were moved on the northeast corner of the site. Staff informed the applicant s team that this would be shared with Planning Commission to provide guidance or approval. Windows and doors were removed on the north and south entrances. Staff is working with the applicant to provide artwork that will fill the blank wall spaces. The exterior vents on the west and east sides of the buildings substantially extend above the screen walls. Staff is requesting the applicant paint the ducts black as an accent color. In addition, staff is working with the applicant on providing artistic screening wall extensions that will sit on top of the stone walls. Exterior garage door moved from the east to the west side of the building. Staff is requesting the applicant paint the doors black as an accent color to compliment the building colors. The faux windows that are being installed were designed to only be ribbed metal siding. Rather than true faux windows. Staff has shared examples with the applicant of what was envisioned and what is being required. The applicant will be working on this over the next few weeks and fixing the faux windows. Mr. Scheffel inquired if the site is compliant with fire codes. Mr. Olhava stated it was; building and fire have signed off on the site.

19 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 15 of 16 Mr. Scheffel inquired if there were any checks and balances during construction. Mr. Olhava stated during the building process site inspections are not completed. The applicant is required as part of the development agreement to build the site as per approved drawings. Mr. Scheffel inquired as to how the project got to this point. Mr. Turner stated he is part owner of the facility. The architect drew the building incorrectly by making it too short and the applicant became short on funds to finish the building so unacceptable field modifications were being implemented. In the fall, the construction superintendent had a horrific family accident so there was no superintendent at that point. One of the owners tried to make decisions. Mr. Turner was made aware of all that was going on with the facility at the beginning of the year. Mr. Turner listened as to how the applicant conversed with staff and they were removed from the meeting as they were not communicating at a level acceptable to work through the situation. Mr. Turner stated as soon as he was made aware of how the facility was going he immediately stepped in to work through the issues. Mr. Scheffel inquired if there will be a different procedural change moving forward. Mr. Ballstadt stated the site modifications were towards the end of the project and interim site inspections would not likely have prevented the present situation. Mr. Schick stated looking back over 20 plus years, this is one out of a lot that went astray. Mr. Olhava stated even if site visits were completed weekly, sites are developed and buildings built very differently and it would be hard to determine what is left to complete and what is finished in the early stages. Mr. Annable commented that he did not feel planners need to be construction inspectors. Mr. Ballstadt stated this is a unique situation and staff felt the Planning Commission should be informed of the situation and comfortable with the compromised solutions staff has brought forth. Mr. Dennison inquired as to the thought on these kinds of facilities and the parking standard that goes along with them. Mr. Ballstadt stated that, with the pending code update, that is something that can be looked at. Mr. Ballstadt stated the City of Loveland approved an incentive type package that would cover The Brands property which is south of The Ranch and north of Crossroads Boulevard as well as The Brands West which is on the west side of I-25 around the airport where the new road goes through. The owner of the property has brought a similar incentive request to the Town Board and they have had an executive session. Staff has worked with the developer to try and create a similar package that would make the Loveland and Windsor sites comparable. The Town Board will hear a business

20 Planning Commission Minutes March 15, 2017 Page 16 of 16 assistance agreement for The Brands on March 27, There will likely also be a PUD overlay that could be proposed on The Brands East that will propose development standards similar to those proposed in Loveland and those would come before the Planning Commission for a recommendation. Mr. Ballstadt stated a further discussion regarding the berms on oil and gas sites is needed as there are different situations with each application depending on surface and mineral ownership and the use of the land. E. ADJOURN Upon a motion duly made, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. Krystal Eucker, Deputy Town Clerk

21 M E M O R A N D U M Date: April 5, 2017 To: Planning Commission Via: Scott Ballstadt, AICP, Director of Planning From: Carlin Barkeen, AICP, Chief Planner Subject: Public Hearing and Recommendation to Town Board Rezoning Petition South Hill 5 th Filing Pelican Bluff Holdings, LLC, applicants/ TST, Inc. Consulting Engineers, applicant s representatives Location: East of Crossroads Boulevard and 7 th Street intersection, north of Crossroads Boulevard Item #: C.1.C.2 Background: The applicant, Pelican Bluffs Holdings, LLC, represented by TST Consulting Engineers, is requesting to rezone approximately 13.6 acres within the South Hill Subdivision 4 th Filing from General Commercial (GC) to Multifamily Residential (MF-1). The property proposed for rezoning is currently known as a portion of Tract E, South Hill Subdivision 4 th Filing. Concurrent with the rezoning application, the applicant submitted a minor subdivision application for the property, known as South Hill 5 th Filing. The property is located east of the Crossroads Boulevard and 7 th Street intersection, north of Crossroads Boulevard. Adjacent property to the west, east, and north is zoned RMU (Residential Mixed Use). Properties to the north (South Hill 4 th Filing) and south (Trautman Subdivision) are zoned GC and currently undeveloped. The RMU-zoned property, consisting of single-family residential lots, to the north and northeast is currently under construction, while the multi-family portion to the east will soon be under construction. The RMU property to the west, South Hill 2 nd Filing, is an existing single-family residential development (South Hill 2 nd Filing). The purpose of this rezoning is to allow for the construction of 22 multi-family buildings, a combination of six-plex and eight-plex buildings, totaling 154 units. An administratively reviewed minor subdivision is required in conjunction with this project in order to replat the lots to match zoning boundaries. If the subject rezoning is approved, a subsequent preliminary site plan and final site plan are required. The preliminary site plan is an action item for the Planning Commission, while the final site plan is a recommendation from Planning Commission to the Town Board. The proposed multifamily development would be an addition to a recently approved multi-family apartment complex on the eastern side of Skys End Drive (South Hill 4 th Filing Final Site Plan). South Hill 4 th Filing includes 42 multi-family units, consisting of seven six-plex buildings. South Hill 4 th Filing Final Site Plan includes landscaped berms between the single-family residential lots and the multifamily buildings, as well as significant landscaping along Crossroads Boulevard. The applicant plans on maintaining a cohesive design for the entire complex. Public Comments The applicant s representatives held a neighborhood meeting on March 6, 2017, at the Grillhouse at Pelican Lakes. There were no neighbors in attendance. To date, there have been no public comments on this proposal.

22 April 5, 2017 Planning Commission memo South Hill 5 th Subdivision Rezoning If the rezone is approved, the next step for the applicant would be the submittal of a preliminary site plan. At least three (3) subsequent public meetings are required between the preliminary site plan application submittal and final site plan approval. Conformance with Comprehensive Plan: The application is consistent with the following Goals and Objectives of the Comprehensive Plan: Chapter 5b: Growth Framework Goal: Objective 1: Maintain the character of the community while accommodating future growth that is fiscally and environmentally responsible. Prioritize new growth in areas currently served by Town infrastructure and services. Staff comment: This area is currently served by Town infrastructure and services and was planned for development with the South Hill Annexation and Master Plan, approved in April The subject property is included in the South Hill Subdivision Development Agreement and the metropolitan district that encompasses Water Valley. Chapter 5c Residential Areas Framework Plan: Goal: Objective 4 Support diverse housing and residential neighborhoods to meet the needs of varying family sizes, lifestyles, and income levels. Foster a diversity of housing types and sizes through coordinated land use planning and zoning. Staff comment: The reduction in commercially-zoned property in this location would not significantly impact the overall master plan for the development, as the majority of the property will remain GC. The Town s 2016 Comprehensive Plan encourages mixed-use nodes. South Hill Subdivision includes a mix of zone districts, including single-family, multi-family, and commercial. Additionally, the property is located adjacent to the Town s regional trail system alignment, which will ultimately connect this area to the Poudre Trail and downtown. The trail system will be completed along the northern side of Crossroads Boulevard as South Hill Subdivision develops. The infrastructure in this area is sufficient for serving the proposed MF-1 zone district. Town infrastructure and services and were planned for development with the South Hill Annexation and Master Plan. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval of the rezoning petition and ordinance to the Town Board with the following condition: 1. All remaining Planning Commission and staff comments shall be addressed. Page 2 of 3

35 M E M O R A N D U M Date: April 5, 2017 To: Planning Commission Via: Scott Ballstadt, AICP, Director of Planning From: Paul Horneck, Senior Planner Subject: Public Hearing and Recommendation to Town Board Rezoning Petition Fossil Ridge Subdivision 2 nd Filing, Lots 4-7, Block 11 and Lots 3-7, Block 12 Eagle Crossing Development, LLC and Fossil Ridge Holdings, LLC, applicants/ TST, Inc. Consulting Engineers, applicant s representatives Location: West of the intersection of Highland Meadows Parkway and Steeplechase Drive Item #: C.3.C.4 Background: The applicants, Eagle Crossing Development, LLC and Fossil Ridge Holdings, LLC, represented by TST Consulting Engineers, are requesting to rezone nine lots totaling approximately 22 acres within the Fossil Ridge Subdivision 2 nd Filing from Limited Industrial (IL) to High Density Multifamily Residential (MF-2). The parcels proposed for rezoning are located west of Highland Meadows Parkway on both the north and south sides of the future extension of Steeplechase Drive. Adjacent properties to the north and west zoned Limited Industrial (IL) are currently undeveloped. The adjacent properties to the south are zoned Limited Industrial (IL), including a storm water detention facility, one industrial business in Windsor, and one industrial business within the City of Loveland. Single family homes zoned High Density Estate Residential (E-2) are located on the properties to the east, across Highland Meadows Parkway. The purpose of this rezoning is to allow for the construction of nineteen multi-family buildings, with a mix of twenty-one and twenty-four unit buildings. An administratively reviewed minor subdivision will be required in conjunction with this project in order to replat the existing lots into two larger parcels. A preliminary site plan and final site plan will also be required for review of the proposed site improvements. The applicants have indicated that this multifamily development will be a part of The Brands, a conceptual development in Windsor and Loveland, centered at Fairgrounds Avenue and Steeplechase/Rodeo Drives. Application materials state The Brands may include hotels, restaurants, general retail, a movie theater, and a grocery store, among other uses. The applicants have also indicated Steeplechase Drive would be extended from its current terminus at Highland Meadows Parkway to Fairgrounds Avenue, linking the residential and commercial portions of the project. Analysis The site s current IL zoning permits a variety of uses, including various types of manufacturing, warehousing, automobile body shops, and all uses allowed within the General Commercial (GC) zone district. This zoning reflects the fact that for many years this part of Windsor was envisioned as primarily industrial given the development of the Walmart Distribution Center and Ward

36 April 5, 2017 Planning Commission memo Fossil Ridge 2 nd Subdivision Rezoning Industrial Park in Loveland. Given the lack of sanitary sewer service at the time, any residential development was envisioned as large lot, septic served homes similar to Steeplechase. After a private developer extended sewer service the area began to evolve, leading to a mix of industrial and residential uses in close proximity to one another. Development standards were adopted as a part of the Fossil Ridge Subdivision 2 nd Filing in an attempt to mitigate potential conflicts between uses. The development standards deal largely with the physical appearance of uses but have not eliminated all conflicts. For example, the Town has received numerous complaints from residents about operations associated with businesses on Greenridge Road, immediately south of the Fossil Ridge/Belmont Ridge neighborhood. The proposed rezoning from IL to MF-2 appears to support the concept of greater compatibility between uses, an idea promoted by the Comprehensive Plan. While multifamily development tends to have less compatibility issues with single family neighborhoods than industrial uses do, it isn t without impacts and the site planning process will focus on mitigating such issues. In addition to compatibility, the Comprehensive Plan identifies housing diversity as an area Windsor needs to improve. According to the Plan, 82% of Windsor s housing units are detached single family residential units. The Plan acknowledges that this will remain the predominant pattern, but highlights the importance of a more diverse housing stock: This includes the development of townhomes, multi-family, and mixed-use products that are both owner-and renter-occupied. These uses are best placed near commercial areas to encourage walkability and serve as a land use transition to single-family residential neighborhoods. These housing product options will appeal to young families, downsizing retirees, senior citizens, and others that do not desire large single-family homes on large, maintenance-intensive lots. Multifamily housing on the subject property will provide more housing options for residents, will be located in close proximity of the commercial area at the Brands, and will also serve as a transition from the Fossil Ridge/Belmont Ridge neighborhood to The Brands. While staff recommends approval of the rezoning, it should not be considered an endorsement of the site plan currently under review. The site plan will need to address traffic, compatibility, architecture, and other items in order to receive approval. Public Comments The applicant s representatives held a neighborhood meeting on March 6, 2017, at the Grillhouse at Pelican Lakes. There were approximately nine neighbors in attendance (please see the enclosed neighborhood meeting summary notes). A number of letters expressing concern about the rezoning have been received from residents in the Belmont Ridge/Fossil Ridge neighborhood east of this proposal. The letters enumerate numerous concerns, but the most common concern appears to the potential traffic impacts of multifamily development. All letters received are included in the attachments. In addition to this public hearing, there will be other opportunities for public input should the rezoning be approved and the project move forward. Final site plan approval requires approval of a resolution by the Town Board and, while not a public hearing, input from residents is often allowed during such meetings. Furthermore, the applicant has indicated that they will be requesting to amend the existing development agreement for the subdivision, which will include an additional neighborhood meeting.

39 January 24, 2017 Fossil Ridge Rezone Project Narrative Project No The Fossil Ridge Multifamily project is located west of the Highland Meadows Parkway and Steeplechase Drive intersection ( Project ). The Project consists of 19 multi-family buildings, 21 and 24 units per building with detached garages located throughout the site. In addition to the multifamily use, the applicant is proposing a self-storage facility on Tract A located at the southwest corner of Steeplechase Drive and Highland Meadows Parkway. The Property is currently zoned Limited Industrial. This application requests to rezone approximately 22 acres of Lots 3 & 4 and all of Lots 5-7, Block 12 and Lots 4-7, Block 11, to High-Density Multifamily Residential. The Limited Industrial zoning is along Highland Meadows Parkway directly across from existing low-intensity single-family residential dwellings. A variety of uses by right are allowed in the Limited Industrial, including but not limited to, transportation terminals, automobile body repair shops, general warehousing, manufacturing, assembly, processing and fabrication plants, and offices and shops. Rezoning from Limited Industrial to High-Density Multifamily Residential will create a transition and buffer between the low intensity use of single-family to the high intensity use of industrial. Such a transition will also keep noise and potential environmental impacts of industrial use further away from the single-family residential. Furthermore, to assist with the buffer and transition, the Project s singlestory garages have been located adjacent to Highland Meadows Parkway and the larger three-story, multi-family units have been located in the interior of the site. The recently adopted 2016 Windsor Comprehensive Plan states that multifamily residential should be adjacent to or within close proximity of community facilities, service and shopping areas, transportation corridors, and other community amenities. This Project would fit such criteria as it is located approximately 1.5 miles from the Highland Meadows area facilities. It is also located approximately one (1) mile from a regional commercial area to the west that will include hotels, restaurants, general retail, the Larimer County Fairgrounds and the Ranch. This area also plans for a movie theater, grocery store, and other similar and complimentary uses. 748 Whalers Way Suite 200 Fort Collins, CO main fax ideas@tstinc.com The Land Use Transitions section within the 2016 Comprehensive Plan states that new development should be of similar design aesthetic of established neighborhoods to maintain the existing community character. While the scale and bulk of new development may be more intense, it can better blend with adjacent buildings through similar design. Rezoning to High-Density Multifamily Residential would promote a similar character to the existing neighborhood instead of forcing the two different uses;

40 single-family and industrial, to be adjacent to one another and would create a proper transition from the single family residential to industrial. The rezoning from Limited Industrial to High-Density Multifamily Residential does not adversely impact the supply of Limited Industrial in the immediate area. There is roughly 300 acres of Limited Industrial adjacent to this site, of which about 60 acres of it currently developed with industrial businesses. With the rezoning of the Project to High-Density Multifamily Residential and removing the already 60 acres utilized, that still leaves roughly 220 acres of Limited Industrial to serve the area. Currently there is no zoned Multi-Family property within three (3) miles of this location, and the market is in need of this type of product. This is evidenced by the lack of information regarding multi-family in the 2015 Demographic and Housing Study, specifically in areas with such close proximity to the regional commercial area to the west. The 2015 Windsor Demographic and Housing Study ( Housing Study ) states: The Town should promote housing development that meets the needs of a more diverse and wider spectrum of incomes. Given the very limited amount of multi-family and predominate singlefamily housing options currently available in Windsor, there is an inadequate variety of housing types to meet the needs of a diverse group of incomes. The rezoning to High-Density Multifamily Residential would allow for a multi-family product and thus create a housing type that will be appealing to a wide variety of income types. The Housing Study also states that there is a gap in available rentable units to households that make more than $75,000. The Housing Study shows that for that income group there was a deficit of 178 units available to this group. Given the fast growth to the area, there is a need for rentable units in the Windsor area and this multi-family project addresses such deficiency. Younger generations are choosing their housing options based on the proximity to amenities, the amount of services, higher densities, and entertainment. This is one of the best locations in Windsor to provide this housing type because of its proximity to the Highland Meadows community and the regional commercial development to the west. The rezoning of this property to High-Density Multifamily Residential is more beneficial to Windsor than it will be if it develops as industrial. It will fulfill a need for different income and age groups, it will provide a better transition and buffer to the existing single-family development to the northeast, and will add to the very sparse amount of multi-family that currently exists within Windsor. If there are any questions, concerns, or if additional information is required please feel free to contact us.

47 Scott Ballstadt From: Sent: To: Subject: Rich Pekar Sunday, March 26, :30 AM Scott Ballstadt Rezoning To whom it may concern, We live in Belmont Ridge subdivision coming from the Chicago land area to be away from congestion, traffic, and commercial businesses to experience some beauty of nature by moving to Windsor, CO because of its country appeal. I think we have made a mistake. Being here 4 years now, we have seen a big spike in new businesses and home development. With all of this comes more truck traffic, which is horrendous, coming from Walmart and through downtown Windsor. Already shopping in this area is overbuilt. We never see much shopping at the Centerra mall and other areas. If build, build, build is the main objective of the town of Windsor, you may start finding many vacant structures in the near future that will be an eyesore. My family plan is to move out town within a year or so if this all continues. Thank you for your time. Rich and Mary Pekar Sent from my ipad 1

48 Scott Ballstadt From: Sent: To: Subject: Janie Appleton Monday, March 27, :53 PM Scott Ballstadt; Christian Morgan; Paul Hornbeck; Janie Appleton Fossil Ridge 2nd Rezone March 27, 2017 Town of Windsor Planning Department C/O Scott Balstadt- Director Cc: Paul Hornbeck Senior Planner Cc: Christian Morgan Town Board Member, District 2 RE: Fossil Ridge 2 nd Rezone Greetings Gentleman: As you know, recently it has come to our neighborhoods attention of the rezoning proposal submitted by Fossil Ridge Holding, LLC. The rezoning plan, status in which is review complete by Senior Planner Paul Hornbeck. The rezoning plan involves a 2 nd Rezone of Fossil Ridge. The area is West of Steeplechase on Highland Meadows Parkway and extending north to Auburn Hills Drive and Hialeah Drive. Currently, that land with a bluff like natural appeal is zoned Light Industrial. The request is being made by Fossil Ridge Holdings, LLC to rezone the area of almost 22 acres to a High Density Multi Family zone. We as several neighborhoods are not in favor of the proposed rezoning request. We encourage the responsible parties to thoroughly consider the adverse effect this will have on the safety of our neighborhood. I would like to point out the Town of Windsor s published 2025 Plan and how this type of development does not align with Town s goals. In addition, to the town s Comprehensive Plan which promotes Windsor s unique assets to preserve its small town charm and character and create sustainable balance between built and natural environment. The Comprehensive Plan shall guide land use and development to achieve the vision of the community for the next years. The Plan provides the framework for future growth and development. It guides development decision by directing the use of land; the movement of vehicles and pedestrians; the protection of open spaces and environmental resources; development of key commercial and industrial areas; and investment of downtown. It s our opinion that the rezoning from light industrial to High Density Multi-Family zone conflicts with the 2025 Plan and City Comprehensive Plan. Being a tax payer of future development it s imperative that a full study be completed before approving the proposed change. All cost should be paid by Fossil Ridge Holdings a.k.a. Mr. Larry S. Buckendorf, and not the Windsor taxpayers. 1

49 Crossroads Blvd. is already congested and dangerous. The Walmart trucks are more frequent and increasing hazard on Crossroads, in addition; to new business traffic generated on Crossroads. Increasing the population on Highland Meadows Parkway by that percentage will inevitably need to widen both Crossroads and 257 to accommodate the increase of commuters. Not to mention you will need to expedite the improvement of Crossroads continuing to O Street through Greeley to manage the increase of traffic on a major thoroughfare. Rezoning the proposed area will: 1. Increase traffic to an even higher level at Crossroads and Highland Meadows. Today the overwhelming traffic generated from the NORCO Volleyball Club, where cars are parked along Highland Meadows to Steeplechase is very common on any given weekend. In addition, to the new traffic generated by Mash Lab Brewery. Getting onto Crossroads from Highland Meadows or vice versa is nearly impossible and has become a hazardous intersection. 2. Increase of traffic at the Crossroads/I-25 round-about, guaranteed the additional traffic will increase safety concerns and accidents. It s the main access to I-25, and very common area of multi accidents that occur on any given week. 3. Affect loss of wildlife that has established a habitat in the proposed area. It would be a shame to have it destroyed by the High Density structures. Today, there is a pair of owls that reside in the cotton tree in the proposed area that annually return to nest and have successfully reared three to four owlets each year. In addition; the fox and coyote s that reside in the natural setting. 4. Increase the ability for our emergency providers (Police, Fire and Emergency Medical Services) to respond in a timely manner. The additional traffic generated from High Density housing will impact the response time for emergency needs. 5. Increase safety concerns of equestrian traffic along Steeplechase. Steeplechase is a lively community that offers many trails within their community for equestrian activity. Increased traffic along Steeplechase will impact the safety of riders by those violators who do not abide the speed limit posted. 6. Decrease of home value to Belmont Ridge, Steeplechase, and neighboring communities. According to the BBB website, though Fossil Ridge Holdings, LLC which represents various companies has an acceptable rating. The BBB reviews and complaints of homeowners who clearly are not satisfied with the building quality that Fossil Ridge Holdings, LLC represents. Issues span from quality of craftsmanship, unresolved warranty issues, unresponsive reply from the builder. The facts clearly outline that manufacturing high density multi-family units will devalue the homes directly impacted by the proposed change. In addition; there are multiple violations/citations issued to Fossil Ridge Holdings. LLC, for not being good stewards of the environment while developing new housing projects. We ask that you carefully review the proposal and ask that you not approve the proposal from light industrial which would not have such an adverse effect on the community as high density housing would. Consider Windsor s 2025 and Comprehensive Plan, and ask, is the proposed rezoning request aligned with the Town s growth plans? 2

51 Scott Ballstadt From: Sent: To: Subject: Curt Reinke Monday, March 27, :50 PM Scott Ballstadt Rezone Vickie and Curtis Reinke 5203 Hialeah Drive Windsor, CO March 27, 2017 Dear Mr. Ballstadt, We are contacting you to express concern for the proposed Fossil Ridge Second Filing (Highland Meadows/Steeplechase.) As residents of Belmont Ridge we believe high density is the wrong zoning application for this location. With Raindance adding 2787 homes (a potential vehicles) using Steeplechase as an arterial route to County Road 5, the traffic will be significant. The proposed apartment complex could add another 400+ vehicles. Also, the addition of the two apartment complexes at the Brands (1000+ vehicles,) retail/entertainment, PSD school, and Shutts subdivision(400+vehicles,) there will be more than 10,000 vehicles added to the area daily. Those are just some of the already approved developments in the area. We have no doubt there will be many other subdivisions and developments added soon. adows and Steeplechase and the surrounding neighborhood streets, it would be a substantial negative impact. Four to six hundred vehicles may not seem like much, but to residents along Highland Meadows, Steeplechase and surrounding neighborhoods, the negative impact will be significant. We request that the high density zoning request be denied. Thank you for your consideration, Vickie and Curt Reinke 1

93 Page 2 Conditional Use Grant Project Description: Any conditional use grant for instruction or tutoring of more than two (2) students shall: Be limited to tutoring or instruction of children under the age of eighteen (18) years: Our students graduate by age 9 at the oldest. Not exceed eight (8) students present at the dwelling unit at any one (1) time: We cannot have more than 8 in a class, per our licensing with Let's Play Music Have available one (1) on site parking space for every two (2) students present at the dwelling at any one (1) time: I have a large driveway plus round about where parents park. I could accommodate approximately 10 + cars in my driveway. I also live in a cul-de-sac with ample street parking spaces. Be limited to hours of operation between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.: All my class times are currently between 4:00 p.m and 6:45 p.m. Be limited to no more than fifteen (15) hours per week of instruction: total hours of teaching are four hours per week. Comply with all State of Colorado child care licensing requirements, including requirements for licensing exemption status: Letter submitted to Colorado State Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care (1575 Sherman Street, 1st Floor, Denver, CO ) on Feb 1, 2016 Be subject to inspection in order to ensure that all applicable building and fire codes are met: Contacted Russ Weber on January 28, He inspected home the first week of February, I teach Let's Play Music a curriculum involving small group music and piano classes for groups of 4-8 children, ages 4-6 years. The parents attend class with the child in Sound Beginnings, ages 2-4. In Let's Play Music, the 1st year parents attend with their child every other week. In the 2nd and 3rd year of the program, the parents attend lessons once a month. The parents park in my large driveway. These classes are held in my home, part time, currently on Wednesdays for two hours (4:45-6:45) and Thursdays for two hours (4:00-6:00), for a total of four hours per week. My schedule changes slightly every school year, I teach mostly during daytime hours, with just 2-3 classes after school, from August-April. I use an extra basement bedroom space for storing keyboards. The impact of me teaching is very minimal on my home and neighborhood. For 7 years I was the only home in my cul-de-sac. When my neighbors built their home I talked with them about what I do and asked if they had any concerns. Their only question was when they could get their son enrolled in my program. They said they fully support what I do and have no problems whatsoever. Overall, I feel it is a positive thing for our town and community, to allow Let's Play Music classes to be taught in Windsor. The benefits of this program have lasting impacts in the lives of families in our community and the surrounding areas. Specifically addressing the Code , areas that are applicable to this situation: The character and quality of the home do not change; it does not alter the neighborhood in any way that is different from personal use. The physical appearance of the home including architectural and landscaping is maintained to be visually appealing, and safe, just as we would for exclusive personal use. The vehicular and pedestrian traffic are both addressed in the same manner as personal use. Because children are involved, parents park in the driveway and walk their children into the house, whether they are coming over for piano lessons, a play date or birthday party.

122 1101 Bannock Street Denver, Colorado December 16, 2016 Mr. Scott Ballstadt Director of Planning Town of Windsor Planning Department 301 Walnut Street Windsor, CO Re: RainDance Subdivision Major Preliminary Plat, Filing Two Dear Mr. Ballstadt: On behalf of the applicant, RainDance Land Company LLC, please find below the narrative for the RainDance Filing Two Subdivision Major Preliminary Plat application. The RainDance team is excited to submit the second filing at RainDance and continue towards the implementation of this unique community. We look forward to working closely with Town Staff through the Major Subdivision Plat approval process. Introduction Filing Two is located to the northwest of the Filing One subdivision area and encompasses approximately acres of the RainDance Planned Unit Development, PUD. Within Filing Two is approximately 46.6 acres of single family lots, 28.1 acres is right-of-way, and acres or tracts including open space and future development. Filing Two consists of 275 single family residential lots, organized within a framework of local and collector roads, open spaces, recreational amenities and cultivated landscape/agrarian areas. Proposed in Filing Two are x110 lots, x110 lots, x110 lots and x110 lots. The neighborhood plan is organized using a traditional block structure, providing great opportunity for convenient vehicular access, neighborhood wayfinding and pedestrian circulation. Primary access to Filing Two is from New Liberty Road (Weld County Road 64, currently under construction), Crossroads Boulevard (Weld County Road 62), and future RainDance Parkway. RainDance Parkway is the primary north/south access road through RainDance, which will be an iconic and specially landscaped space realized in this filing, Filing One and subsequent site plans. Compliance with the RainDance Planned Unit Development, PUD This RainDance Filing Two Preliminary Plat meets the standards of the approved RainDance PUD, and will begin implementation of the dynamic network of roads, neighborhoods, and open spaces. A memorandum of Special Considerations is included as a part of this application to clarify any design variations as they pertain to the PUD. Landscape Amenities and Character Filing Two will continue the recreational and landscape character representative of the RainDance community. Filing Two includes 2 pocket parks and the central recreational amenity, RainDance Park. These three parks; Tract K (1.2 acres), Tract S (.39 acres) and Tract V, RainDance Park (13.5 acres), each may include: open turf areas, ornamental planting, and garden/cultivated landscape areas. RainDance Park may also include play equipment and a shade structure. The RainDance community will have a unique landscape identity that integrates cultivated landscape/agrarian planting, ornamental landscaping, naturalized landscape areas and recreational open space. Prominent open spaces and entries will include landscaped edges with ornamental plants for a manicured all-season neighborhood aesthetic

124 RainDance Filing One & Filing Two Neighborhood Meetings Summary Date: January 25, 2017 To: Town of Windsor Planning, Paul Hornbeck Cc: Town of Windsor Planning, Carlin Barkeen From: Tom Siegel on behalf of RainDance Land Company, John Meyers of TST Consulting Engineers, and Julia Summers of Norris Design Filing One Neighborhood Meeting The Grillhouse at Pelican Lakes, (formerly Pelican Lakes Restaurant), Banquet Room 1600 Pelican Lakes Point, Windsor, CO Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 6 PM Advertised in accordance with Windsor Municipal Code Chapter 16 Filing Two Neighborhood Meeting The Grillhouse at Pelican Lakes, (formerly Pelican Lakes Restaurant), Banquet Room 1600 Pelican Lakes Point, Windsor, CO Thursday, January 12, 2017 at 6 PM Advertised in accordance with Windsor Municipal Code Chapter 16 The RainDance Filing One and Filing Two Neighborhood Meetings was conducted by the following project proponents: Tom Siegel as representative of RainDance Land Company, John Meyers of TST Consulting Engineers, and Julia Summers of Norris Design. Also in attendance was Carlin Barkeen, Chief Planner of the Town of Windsor. The Meeting began promptly at 6pm, hosted approximately 22 attendees, and concluded around 7:10pm. Supportive materials included 9 presentation boards. The presentation boards included information on the proposed Filings One and Two, the existing approved PUD map, and an illustrative overall community plan. All supportive materials are attached to this document. Below is a list of general discussion topics, attendee questions, and proponent responses: What are the proposed improvements to CR13? The design team is proposing turn lane and accel/decel improvements to CR13. CR13 will continue to have two through lanes. Proposed roadway improvements to CR13 are consistent with the Town of Windsor s Master Plan. What are the proposed improvements to Crossroads Boulevard? The design team is proposing a roundabout within Crossroads, bisecting the RainDance property. Additional improvements also include turning and accel/decel improvements to Crossroads. Proposed roadway improvements to Crossroads are consistent with the Town of Windsor s Master Plan. Further enhancements to Crossroads Boulevard include a landscaped and agricultural edge. Will there be additional traffic on CR13 and Crossroads Boulevard? Additional trips will be generated by future development. Road improvements will be proposed necessary to meet the volume generated. Residents voiced concern about traffic through Steeplechase Drive via New Liberty Road Multiple vehicular outlets are planned through the RainDance community including, New Liberty, RainDance Parkway and Crossroads Boulevard. The RainDance circulation network provides outlets to mitigate movement through adjacent communities Bannock Street Denver, CO

125 A Pelican Hills resident inquired about impacts to current views from her property The future development area directly adjacent to Pelican Hills is not currently proposed as a part of Filing One and Two. The PUD land use adjacent to Pelican Hills calls for lower density single family residential (4 dwelling units per acre), as well as requires a landscape buffer along the RainDance and Pelican Hills property boundaries. These design elements are intended to ease the adjacency between these developments, however there may be some visual impacts from Pelican Hills to the west. Steeplechase residents inquired about RainDance land uses along CR13 as well as the type of retail uses possible in future development areas? Residents were referred to the PUD map and the illustrative overall community plan for reference of land use, density, and potential size of the retail areas. The agricultural landscape edge parallel to CR13 was also noted to residents. The landscape edge was described as a minimum of 50 wide per the PUD. Residents inquired about the status of the RainDance Golf Course Project proponents noted the golf course continues to be a feature of this master plan and will proceed with design and construction after residential development of RainDance is underway. School type proposed within RainDance A school parcel will be dedicated to Weld RE-4 as a part of the public land dedication obligations of RainDance. It is understood that the district is interested in an elementary school in this location, however the type and timing of any school on the parcel will be at the discretion of the district. School District Boundary Residents asked if Steeplechase residents will attend school in RainDance? Residents of Steeplechase are located within Thompson School District. It is unknown what opportunity Steeplechase residents would have to attend any school proposed within RainDance within the Weld RE-4 school district. When will Filings One and Two be built? Town approval processes for Filing One and Filing Two may be finalized in approximately late spring/ early summer. Filing One and Two are being reviewed separately. Construction of infrastructure improvements, such as utilities and roads, may begin as early as summer Bannock Street Denver, CO

137 M E M O R A N D U M Date: April 5, 2017 To: Planning Commission Via: Scott Ballstadt, AICP, Director of Planning From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner Subject: Recommendation to Town Board Complete Streets Guide Item #: Item C.12 Background In accordance with Transportation and Mobility Implementation Objective #4 of the Comprehensive Plan, staff has developed a Complete Streets Guide for Planning Commission s consideration. Complete Streets is a concept that streets should be designed for safe, convenient travel by all modes of transportation (passenger and freight vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, public transportation, etc.). The concepts of complete streets emerged in the 1970s in response to roadway design across the country that focused on moving vehicle traffic but provided little or no accommodation for safe pedestrian and bicycle travel. The Complete Streets concept promotes a holistic approach to roadway design that can still move traffic while also ensuring adequate accommodation to other modes of travel. The National Complete Streets Coalition was founded in 2005 by a coalition of groups, including American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), the American Planning Association and the American Society of Landscape Architects. The coalition includes a variety of Steering Committee members, including The American Public Transportation Association, Blue Cross Blue Shield Minnesota, the National Association of Realtors, and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Complete Streets policies have been adopted nationwide at 1,060 agencies at the local, state, and regional level. Adoption of a Complete Streets document is an Objective of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, which states: Complete streets implementation may be one of the best transportation investments a community can make, offering an often low-cost solution to transportation goals while supporting broader community initiatives. Most importantly, they can reduce injurious crashes for all users. By making the most of small investments, supporting economic development, and encouraging multi-modal travel, communities across the country have seen decent returns for their investments in complete streets. In addition to the Comprehensive Plan, the Windsor Strategic Plan prioritizes improving crosswalk safety, which can be accomplished through designing Complete Streets. The Complete Streets concept is a high level direction and does not mandate specific design standards. Rather, adoption of the guide is one part of an incremental, long-term approach to safer roadways. Other steps which could follow adoption would include updating other planning and engineering documents. Town Staff envisions leveraging the expertise of consultants currently involved in the Roadway Improvement Plan update and Land Use Code update to create specific design standards that incorporate Complete Streets concepts.

138 April 5, 2017 Planning Commission memo Complete Streets Examples of what a Complete Street looks can be seen in the attachments. It should be noted that Complete Streets vary based on context. A Complete Street in downtown Denver would look very different from a complete street in a Windsor neighborhood or rural street. It is an opportune time for the Town to adopt a Complete Streets Guide for a number of reasons, including: Adopting a Complete Streets document is an objective of the 2016 Comprehensive Plan The Strategic plan prioritizes improving crosswalk safety A number of arterial roadways that are gateways to Windsor are likely to be expanded in the near future (Crossroads Boulevard, Harmony Road, etc.) and attractive, safe roadways are much easier to design upfront than retrofit in the future The Town is currently updating the Land Use Code and Roadway Improvement Plan and can leverage consultant expertise to apply complete street principals in those documents A number of high profile accidents involving pedestrians or at pedestrian crossings in the past year have brought to pedestrian safety to the forefront. Bicycle and pedestrian accident data from is included as an attachment. Recent complaints from residents regarding high speed traffic on local streets (Dakota Way, Walnut Street, etc.) Recommendation: Staff recommends the Planning Commission forward a recommendation to Town Board to adopt the Complete Streets Guide.

140 Defining complete streets Challenges to implementation Safety Community Image

141 Complete Streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, in that pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and public transportation users of all ages and abilities are able to comfortably travel along and across streets.

142 The policy is: A high-level policy direction A change in the everyday decision-making processes and system An incremental approach Long-term, results oriented The policy is not: One special street project A design prescription A mandate for immediate retrofit A silver bullet; other issues must be addressed (e.g. Land use proximity, mixed-uses, etc.)
