STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Permanent Easement Agreement for Summerfield.
SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
Crews constructing the offsite sanitary sewer connection for the Summerfield development to the Town's North Water Reclamation Facility discovered a secondary oil and gas line that earlier potholing had misidentified. The project team rerouted the sewer line to eliminate the conflict, and Erie staff reviewed the alternate plan. The easement enables the rerouted line and ensures straightforward, reliable long-term maintenance access. There is no cost to the Town for this easement.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Town Council approved the original Summerfield Filing 1 Final Plat and Development Agreement in July 2023, creating 479 new residential lots. Town Council approved Filing No. 2 and DA in June 2025, adding 191 more residential lots.
The Summerfield Subdivision sits south of Highway 52, north of Weld County Road 12, and between Weld County Roads 5 and 7. The Summerfield Planned Development - Development Plan designates the site for residential and mixed-use development.
Construction on the subdivision is underway. Main sewer lines for the development run north along Weld County Road 5 and then west to the Town of Erie North Water Reclamation Facility. This new easement vacates the previous easement and re-dedicates it per current plans.
