Requirement #I for Special Use Submittal: GARFIELD COUNTY
BUILDING 8, PLANNING
Nature and Character
The special use being requested is to permit a structural steel fabrication shop and yard
on the property located at 4941 Co. Rd. 346. We our a 14 year old business based out of
Carbondale, our present facility is right in the middle of Carbondale and we are very tight
for parking and storage. The acquisition of this new property will allow us to have the
outside maneuvering and storage area for our bigger structural steel such as beams and
columns. Our raw steel materials like beams, columns, and miscellaneous steel come on
semi-tractor trailers and vans from Denver and Grand Junction wholesale steel
distributors. These materials
will be stored outside until they are ready for fabrication. To
reach our customer specifications fabrication entails the following processes: cutting with
torch or saw, punching with a beam punch or ironworker, drilling with a slugger cutter,
grinding with hand held grinders, welding with manually operated welding machines and
primer coating with airless paint sprayers. These materials are then shipped out to various
job locations in the Roaring Fork Valley and I -70 corridor areas. We approximate using
about 4.5 of the acres for our operation and leasing or selling the other half once we have
purchased and completed subdividing it. All fabrication will be done inside the proposed
shop building. The proposed shop building
will be constructed of either steel or tilt up
concrete walls. The proposed office building will be of similar material or wood framed.
We approximate construction to begin 2 months after approval of this application.
