C. Description: The Applicant has operated a steel fabrication business (B&B Welding) out
of Carbondale for the last 14 years. The present facility in Carbondale is in the center of the
Town of Carbondale and is limited on parking and storage of mate1ials. The Applicant is in the
process of acquiring the subject property in order to relocate the existing business for the purpose

maneuvering of raw materials and provide for additional storage of steel materials, such as beams
and columns.
The Applicant noted that the raw steelmaterials, such as beams, columns and miscellaneous
steel, arrived by semi-tractor trails and vans from Denver and Grand Junction. These materials
are stored outside until they are ready for fabrication. The raw steel material is processed by a
variety oLrnethods. These methods include cutting with torches or sawed, punching with a beam
punch or ironworker, drilling with slugger cutter, grinding with hand held grinders, welding with
manually operated welding machines and primer coating with airless pain sprayers. Once
fabricated,_, to the customer's specifications, these steel products are delivered to various locations
throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and 1-70 corridor.
The Applicant noted that 4.5 acres of the approximately 11 acres shall be utilized for the steel
fabrication business. The Applicant indicated that the future plans of the property include either
subdividing the property, or leasing a portion of the property for additional uses. The Applicant

district or may be prohibited.

The Applicant is proposing to replace the existing metal shop with a new 60' X 80' shop
building, and the existing trailer will be replaced by a 2,400 square foot office building in the
future. The location of the existing structures and the approximate location of the new structures
have been delineated on the site plan.
D. Zoning: The subject property is zoned A/I (Agricultural I Industrial). The type of use
proposed falls under the definitions of "Fabrication" and "Storage" which is a Special Use in the
A/I zone district. Both Fabrication and Storage are subcategories of "Industrial Operations
Classification", therefore they are subject to the standard outlined in Section 5.03.07 of the

the following standards:
1. Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted engineering

delineated on the site plan. The Applicant provided copies of a 'well completion and pump
installation report' and a 'permit application form' that was approved by the State Engineer in
1982. The condition of approval for the well indicates that the well was "approved for
household use only, for one (1) single family dwelling and not to be used for irrigation. The
return flow from the use of this well must be returned to the same stream system in which the

gallons per minute for
1 hour. No recent information has been provided. The Applicant
indicated that water on site will be used for bathroom and drinking purposes in both structures.
The Applicant noted that an above ground holding tank will be provided for adequate quantity

the use of the Loesch Crann Ditch.
The Applicant indicated that the trailer is connected to an existing 1,000 gallon septic and leach
field. The old septic system will be removed and a new septic system will be installed. Existing
