Harmony and I-25 ODP Submittal
April 30th, 2014
Planner: Clark Mapes
This submittal is the first ODP for the Harmony and I-25 Project, located at the south
west corner of Harmony Road and Interstate 25. The site is bounded by the Harmony
Road on the north, Kechter Road on the south, Strauss Cabin Road on the west and
Interstate 25 on the east. The site is approximately 256 acres and it has been mined for
gravel under 3 separate permits, details of those permits are included at the end of this
narrative. The site is divided roughly in half, north to south into two separate zoning
districts, Harmony Corridor on the north (approx. 140 AC) and Rural Lands on the south
(approx. 125AC). The site currently sits in the Poudre River Floodplain, with the half
foot floodway boundary dividing the site roughly in half east to west, with approximately
109 AC to the west of the line in the flood fringe, and 156 AC to the east of the line in the
floodway. The scope of this ODP includes the entire property, but we have limited the
land uses to the northwest corner, the area that is out of the floodway, and in the
Harmony Corridor zoning. The rest of the site will be added as ODP amendments, as the
following tasks are completed.
1. CLOMR/LOMR is submitted to channelize the offsite flows that impact the site,
and bring more of the site out of the floodway.
2. An amendment to the Harmony Corridor Plan specifically looking at developing a
gateway district for the Harmony and I-25 interchange.
3. A possible structure plan amendment.
Below and on the following pages is the information required on the ODP checklist under
the Statement of Planning Objectives. Following that is a response to 12 questions that were
posed to the applicant by the City of Fort Collins Senior Environmental Planner. Following
that is a letter from the State Engineer regarding Water Augmentation and Storage.

Description of existing and proposed:
o Open space
Currently the entire site could be considered private open space, with
the northern portion a level area that is mostly devoid of vegetation
aside from rabbit brush and trees along Harmony Road. The southern
part of the site within the Limits of Development Boundary is exposed
groundwater in the remnants of a gravel mine. The proposed
development will incorporate open space in several different ways.
Each parcel will incorporate open space that is appropriate for the
design of that site, including open drainage swales, buffers, native and
adaptive planting areas, plazas and turf areas as appropriate. In
addition to the site specific open space, a 3+ acre parcel located along
Harmony road has been set aside as open space. There is a possibility
that a large swale may be required in this area to help contain a 100
year storm event that would overtop Harmony Road and pass through
the project site. In addition to this swale, this area will be used to
install the required 80’ buffer set forth in the Harmony Corridor Plan.
This area will be a slightly modified from the normal Oak palette,
using more riparian species to relate to the northern side of Harmony
Road.
o Buffering
Currently, there is not any buffering to speak of on the site. Future
buffers will be determined on a case by case basis at the time of
PDP/FDP submittal, as the impacts, mitigation potential, requirements,
and current conditions will be better understood at that time. There are
a few features that will require buffering as specific PDP/FDP’s are
developed, a few that are impacted by current Limits of Development
are listed below. The applicant acknowledges that there are other
significant features that are outside of the current limits of
development that will require buffering.
Irrigation Ditches – 50’
Wetlands 50-300’ (dependent on size and water fowl usage)
Lakes or reservoirs 100’
o Landscaping
Existing landscaping is a mix of native and invasive vegetation,
located on a partially reclaimed gravel mining site. There are a few
significant trees that have established on the banks of the gravel pits,
and there is a row of evergreen trees along Harmony Road that will be
preserved to the greatest extent possible. Proposed vegetation will be
a mix of actively maintained turf and shrub beds and passive natural
Harmony and I – 25 ODP Submittal Statement of Planning Objectives
Page 8
areas, dependent upon the character of the specific site development
plans. The streetscape will be tree lined, and in areas of detached
walk, a turf tree lawn. In areas with an attached walk, street trees will
be located behind the walk, in a planting bed or turf area, depending
on the situation.
o Circulation
Currently there is no circulation through the site. This ODP is
introducing a structure of roadways that will serve the first phase of
the development. The roadway design access the public ROW from
Straus Cabin Road in 4 locations, spaced approximately 660’ apart.
This structure of roadways will provide the basis for specific site
development of each parcel. As parcels are developed, they will set a
pattern of connectivity to the adjacent parcels, with a hierarchy of
transportation circulation including pedestrian, bicycle, motor vehicle
and public transportation. As listed in the policies above, these
networks will be designed to work independently and collaboratively
to ensure that user conflicts will be avoided as much as possible.
Future phases of the ODP will show additional access points and more
circulation as more of the site becomes eligible for planning and
development.
o Transition Areas
The areas around this site are largely undeveloped and thus there are
not any existing transition areas. The specific PDP/FDP plans will
demonstrate transitions in specific parcels, and the transition from
Harmony Road into this site. There is a large parcel of open space
planned for the transition from Harmony Road that will be consistent
with the guidelines listed in the Harmony Corridor plan.
o Wetlands
Preliminary site visits by the team have indicated that there are
wetlands present on the site within the limits of the development for
this ODP. A full mapping of the wetlands for each phase will be
completed, along with an ECS report, at the time of the individual
PDP/FDP application. It is understood that mitigation will be required
for disturbed wetlands on each development parcel, and the details of
that mitigation will be worked out at the time of PDP/FDP.
o Natural Areas
This project site is a former gravel mine that was abandoned and the
mining permit was revoked and terminated. The bond that would
usually go towards reclamation of the site was lost when the bank
holding said bond declared bankruptcy. The intent of the former
Harmony and I – 25 ODP Submittal Statement of Planning Objectives
Page 9
developer was to fill in the current ground water ponds as part of an
overall mitigation and reclamation plan, however the project fell apart
prior to those plans being finalized and submitted to the Division of
Reclamation, Mining and Safety. In the time between the last
development and the current development, the site has been
unattended and has naturalized due to neglect. We will continue to
work with City Staff as this development proceeds, to assess the true
value of the site. Additional information on this topic is included at
the end of this narrative, as responses to questions provided by the
City’s Senior Environmental Planner.
Estimated number of employees for commercial and industrial uses
o This in unknown at this point.
Description of rationale behind the assumptions and choices made by the
applicant.
o Rationale for the most of the decisions made by the Applicant and the
Development team are contained in this narrative, and the applicant would be
happy to provide additional information on specific topics if more information
is requested by the City.
Written narrative addressing each issue raised at the community meeting
o No issues were raised at the community meeting that were not addressed at
the meeting. City staff is preparing a finalized report of the issues discussed
at the meeting.
Name of the Project as well as any previous names the project may have been
known by.
o This project is currently known as the Harmony and I-25 Project. This
property has been known as other names by previous developers, but this is
the only name used by this developer.
A narrative describing how conflicts between land uses are being avoided or
mitigated.
o At this time, we do not anticipate any conflicts between land uses on this
property or on adjacent properties.

Below is a list of questions that was supplied by the City of Fort Collins Senior
Environmental Planner to the applicant prior to the submittal. These questions and the
answers associated with them pertain to an area that is partially in the Limits of Development
of this ODP, and partially outside of the Limits of Development. The current area of the
ODP is defined on the south by the zoning boundary and on the east by the .5 foot floodway
line. This leaves the entire Wellington Downs Reservoir out of the current scope, and it
divides the western most of the 3 Weitzel Pit pond as partially in the boundary and partially
out of the boundary, with the other two ponds outside of the boundary.
1. Describe the waterfowl/wildlife use of the site and surrounding area.
We have no specific data on waterfowl or wildlife use of the area. Incidental observations
indicate the Wellington Downs Pond has developing wetlands, shallow water areas, and
exposed mudflats receive a fair amount of use by migratory waterfowl and shorebirds. The
Weitzel Pit Ponds do not support as diverse of mix of wetland and aquatic habitats but still
likely receive some use as stopover and resting areas for migratory waterfowl. Observed
presence of Canada goose pair presence on the Weitzel Pit Ponds may indicate nesting by
this species in the area.
Brief site visits have recorded the presence of prairie dogs and cottontails, and observations
of tracks indicate deer and raccoon also use the site. The relatively open nature of the site
and the presence of prairie dogs, cottontails, and likely other small mammals also make the
area suitable for hunting by raptors such as red-tailed hawk, Swainson’s hawk, and great
horned owl. Open water portions of the site may also be hunted by bald eagles for fish since
these ponds are within the hunting range of at least one nesting pair of bald eagles.
2. General site vegetation description
The overall site is currently dominated primarily by open water, aquatic habitats. Habitats
surrounding the existing ponds consist of emergent wetlands, non-native upland grasslands,
and rabbitbrush shrublands. Emergent wetlands are supported primarily along the west side
of the Wellington Downs Pond and around the edges of open water areas within the
Wellington Downs Pond. Development of emergent wetlands around the perimeters of
remaining Weitzel Pit Ponds is minimal and is restricted by relatively steep embankments,
typical of abandoned gravel mine pits. The areas within the Wellington Downs Pond
represent the most diverse mix of habitats on the site due to the mix of open, shallow water
areas, emergent wetlands, exposed mudflats, and developing woody riparian vegetation
(primarily young cottonwood trees) along some shoreline areas. The dominant tree species
around the three Weitzel Pit Ponds is Russian olive. A couple of large eastern cottonwood
trees grow between the Wellington Downs Pond and the Weitzel Pit Ponds. Additional tree
stands of unknown species grow near the southeast corner of the site
Harmony and I – 25 ODP Submittal Statement of Planning Objectives
Page 11
3. General values provided by the site and the surrounding landscape
The rabbitbrush shrublands and non-native grassland uplands represent relatively low value
wildlife habitat in terms of vegetation species and structural diversity. However these habitat
areas do provide suitable habitat for small mammal populations, ground nesting or shrub
nesting songbirds, and hunting habitat for open-country raptors such as red-tailed hawk and
Swainson’s hawk.
The three ground water fed Weitzel Pit Ponds appear to support relatively constant water
levels and may support some fish populations, but this is unknown. The presence of a great
blue heron nest tree near the middle of the east side of the site may also indicate suitable fish
prey are present in these ponds, although great blue herons are also known to fly several
miles from nest sites to feed.
As indicated under Item 2, the Wellington Downs Pond represents the most diverse mix of
habitats on the site due to the mix of open, shallow water areas, emergent wetlands, exposed
mudflats, and developing woody riparian vegetation (primarily young cottonwood trees)
along some shoreline areas. Wetland and aquatic habitats are valuable habitats in that they
typically support a greater diversity of plants and animals than that found in adjacent dryland
habitats. In addition, many wildlife species from adjacent upland habitats rely on wetland
habitats for obtaining food, cover, and water on a regular or intermittent basis. Wetlands and
associated open water habitats also provide foraging, resting, and breeding habitat for
waterfowl, shorebirds, and wading birds. Other species potentially present in wetland and
aquatic habitats include tiger salamander, Woodhouse’s toad, chorus frog, northern leopard
frog, bullfrog, wandering garter snake, red-winged blackbird, common yellowthroat, and
song sparrow.
The current most prominent wildlife habitat feature supported on the site is the great blue
heron nest site in a large eastern cottonwood tree near the southeast corner of the Weitzel Pit
Ponds. Great blue herons are colonial nesters, and several nests have been constructed in this
tree. Several of the nests are currently occupied, but the actual number of occupied nests is
unknown. Additional information on the heronry is provided under Item 10 below.
4. Nesting seasons of the various species
Great blue heron: March through July
Canada goose: Late March through July
Other Waterfowl: May through July
Songbirds: April through June
5. Document source of water
a. There is no approved source of water for any of the ponds. The water in the
Weitzel Pit ponds is exposed ground water. The water in the Wellington
Harmony and I – 25 ODP Submittal Statement of Planning Objectives
Page 12
Downs Reservoir is a result of precipitation and seepage from the unlined
ditches to the west of the Reservoir.
6. Status of the mining permit
a. There are three mining permits that pertain to the site, none of which are
active:
i. Stute Pit M-1981-007– Located on the Harmony Gardens Site. This
permit is terminated and the existing pond is a state certified lined
pond.
ii. Weitzel Pit M-1986-050 – 3 ponds located in the center of the
property. This permit has been revoked and terminated, one pond (the
smallest and most central) is pre 1981, and the other two ponds require
augmentation.
iii. Wellington Downs Pit M-1995-035 – Located on the south half of the
site. This permit is Revoked and Terminated and the existing pond is a
state certified reservoir.
7. Have the ponds been augmented:
a. The north pond – AKA Weitzel Pit Ponds
i. A Supplemental Water Supply Plan is being developed for the Weitzel
Pits in accordance with the attached letter from the State Engineers
Office.
b. The south pond – AKA the Wellington Downs Pond
i. This pond is lined and does not require augmentation.
c. Are any of the ponds pre-1981
i. Only the center pond of the three Weitzel Pit ponds is pre 1981
8. Are there surface water rights on the south pond?
a. No
9. Is the south pond on in its own trajectory?
a. The water that is currently in the south pond is the accumulation of
precipitation and seepage from the two adjacent unlined ditches. To the
applicant and consultant’s best knowledge and research, no water has been
directly added to this reservoir via any Priority System of Delivery. Based on
our meeting with the State Engineer, the water must be pumped out of the
South pond as it was not placed there in accordance with the Priority System
and it must be returned to the stream system, see attached letter from State
Engineer.
10. What is the value of the rookery? How long it is expected to last?
It is very difficult to place a value on the current heronry or know how long it will last. Great
blue herons are colonial nesters and typically require large, tall trees or groups of these trees
near rivers, reservoirs, or wetlands for their nest sites. The bulk and size of nests in a heronry
can vary with the number of years a nest site has been used. The relative small stature of the
existing nests indicate the current heronry to be relatively young. Based on incidental
observations, the heronry at the site has been used for at least 2 years, or possibly a year or
Harmony and I – 25 ODP Submittal Statement of Planning Objectives
Page 13
two longer. Great blue herons switch or abandon nest sites periodically, and the total number
of heronries in use at any one time can be smaller than all the sites available and used over
the years. Breeding Bird Surveys (BBS) indicate populations of great blue herons have been
steadily increasing in most parts of North America.
Many sources state the need for a relatively undisturbed site for breeding and that they are
vulnerable to habitat loss and human intrusions that can disrupt nesting colonies. Non-
disturbance buffers have been established for heronries in an effort to prevent human
disturbance of these nest sites (City of Fort Collins - 835 feet; Colorado Parks and Wildlife -
500 meters). The fact that this heronry has been established near the I-25 corridor indicates
some acceptance by this nesting colony to nearby motorized disturbance. Several sources
also indicate repeated human intrusion into nesting areas often results in the abandonment of
eggs or chicks and nest failure. Great blue herons are protected by the federal Migratory
Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), and human activities that cause nest abandonment would be in
violation of the MBTA. Changes in nearby habitats such as pond loss or increased
development outside of the nesting season could render this site unsuitable for future nesting
and result in the abandonment of this nesting site for another site with more suitable habitat
conditions.
11. Was there an ECS completed on this site last time? If so, can you provide that as
well?
There has been no previous ECS Report prepared for the site. Cedar Creek previously
delineated the wetlands around the perimeter of the Wellington Downs Pond, but not within
the Wellington Downs Pond, in April 2010.
12. Are the wetlands regulated by the ACOE?
We are currently working with the ACOE to get a Juristional Determination (JD) on this site.
A previous JD had been done on the site in 2010, and the findings were that the ditches and
associated wetlands were jurisdictional, but none of the ponds were considered under the
ACOE’s jurisdiction. As this information becomes available, we will provide it to the City.
