Please be advised that this firm represents Larimer and Weld
Irrigation Company, which owns and operates the Larimer and Weld
Canal. We have reviewed the proposed plat for Sandcreek Estates
with our client and have the following comments and concerns about
this proposed development:
1. There are potential seepage problems from the Larimer
and Weld Canal in this area. The proposed subdivision
lies immediately south and down -gradient from the ditch.
There are seepage problems, especially concerning lots
1, 2, 31 5 and 6. A note to this effect should be
included on the site plan and the subdivision plat. It
may be necessary for the developer to take special
caution in developing these lots and in the construction
of any homes along these lots, including the possible
requirement for installation of perimeter drains or
other such steps to address the ditch seepage issue.
2. A note should be included on the subdivision plat and
the site plan prohibiting any development within the
ditch company's easement and limiting access of any
potential lot owners to the ditch.
3. The board of directors of the ditch company does not
believe this area is necessarily suitable for the
development proposed and therefor opposes the project.
