Carbondale Colorado, 2 1/2 miles west of
Sutank.

I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The site is located in the Low Density Residential District (ten and greater ac/du) as
designated by the 1994 Garfield County Comprehensive Plan's Proposed Land Use Districts,
Area Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site is located south and east of Carbondale.
(See location map pg. 4 )
B. Project Description: The proposal would allow for the designation of an accessory
dwelling for the existing home. The applicant would then build a primary residence
not to exceed 5,000 s.f.. (See Pg. ) )
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. Zoning: The proposal is a special use as indicated in Section 3.02.03, Uses, Special
of the Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended.
Legal Access: Legal access will be provided by County Road 107. (See Pg. 7 )
Water: Water will be provided via an existing well. The documentation provided
does not indicate that augmentation exists for this well. Staff feels that proof of
augmentation needs to be provided prior to approval. (See Pg /34/9f
D. Sewer: The existing ISDS has the capacity to handle an additional unit.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the meeting before the Board
of County Commissioners.
That the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and
complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all
interested parties were heard at that meeting.
That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed special use permit to allow
for an accessory dwelling unit is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals,
convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County.
