Members of the development review staff from this office have reviewed this annexation submittal.
following comments were noted:
• Traffic and traffic increase rates are always topics of concerns with new developments. This office has traffic
counts for the County roads surrounding this proposal. Counts are available upon request.
• All adjacent County roads must be included in the annexation. The annexation of the right-of-way must be
full width, and the maintenance responsibilities for the roads will become a City responsibility once annexed.
• We would like to review the traffic impact study submitted for the proposed land use on this annexation
property, when it is available, to determine possible off -site road impacts to area County roads.
• Drainage and wind/water erosion should be addressed in a Drainage / Erosion Control Plan and Report; the
format we request can be found in the Larimer County Stormwater Management Manual. We would like to
review the master drainage plans to determine any impacts to existing County drainage facilities.
• This annexation and subsequent development could potentially increase the traffic at the State Highway 1 and
Douglas Road Intersection. This intersection currently has safety deficiencies and has been identified as an
adequate public facilities improvement project. Larimer County requests that all new developments in this
area that cause an increase in traffic at the State Highway 1 and Douglas Road Intersection contribute money
towards the needed improvements at this intersection.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment. If there are questions regarding these comments, please
feel free to call me at (970) 498-5727.

Thank you for sending information concerning the Bridgewater Farms annexation proposal. I am
attaching comments from the Latimer County Engineering Department that we would like you to
consider should this request move forward through the process. For your information, I have also
sent a copy of the proposal to the County Open Lands Department, because they are engaged in
preservation activities in the general vicinity of the request. That Department may also send
comments to you.
Thanks again for your referral. Please keep us informed of any formal petitions or actions
regarding the proposal.
Sincerely,
S
Jill S. Bennett
Senior Planner
