RE: Arapahoe Farm Master Plan
Dear Eldon:
An affected property owner has contacted the Planning Department
regarding the old County landfill on Parcel 1-E of the Arapahoe
Farm Master Plan. This property owner is a long time resident and
offers some valuable information that you and G.T. Land Colorado,
Inc. may find useful. Basically, this resident is concerned that
the 3.5 acres designated for open space on Parcel 1-E may not be
large enough to encompass the entire old land fill site.
As proof, the Quit Claim Deed granting the landfill site from the
County to Jessie Aranci in 1972 describes an area, after
exceptions, of 5.92 acres. A copy of this Quit Claim Deed is
enclosed. It is the belief of the affected property owner that the
old landfill site more closely approximates this 5.92 acres than
the 3.5 acres indicated on the Master Plan.
Enclosed also find a copy of Parcel 1-E with a colored area
indicating the amount and location of land area that is believed to
be part of the original 5.92 acres but yet lies outside the
triangle designated as Parcel 1-E.
The basis for this allegation is the legal description found in
Book 926 and Page 331 which describes the parcel conveyed by Walker
to the County, and used again to describe the County to Aranci
conveyance. The sketch of this description is also enclosed.
The concern for the Planning Department, of course, is that
development on Parcel 1-F, Single Family, does not mistakenly occur
on or above the old landfill site. It may be your client's
intention to conduct significant soil analysis to determine the
developable portions of Parcel 1-F at the time of development. In
any event, the Planning Department suggests that the issue be
explored.
It is acknowledged that the Master Plan level of detail does not
attempt evaluate soil conditions. However, please be aware that
281 North College Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6750
All Development Criterion number 12 addresses soils and slope
hazards and must be answered "yes" before a final P.U.D. could be
approved.
You are strongly encouraged to consider the possibility of
enlarging Parcel 1-E to reflect the actual size of the old landfill
based on the information available in the County records. Or, you
may consider adding language to the Master Plan document that
summarizes the intention of All Development Criterion number 12 as
a precautionary note.
I realize this information is presented to you at a very late date
in the plan approval process for the Master Plan. It is not our
intention to jeopardize this schedule and the item remains on the
consent portion of the April 22nd Planning and Zoning Board
hearing. However, it would seem prudent to analyze the information
and act accordingly prior to recording the mylar.
I look forward to hearing from you on this matter and finding a
resolution that makes sense for all the parties.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
City Planner
