I. REQUEST
The Applicant requests the Board of County Commissioners (the Board) approve a
Special Use Permit (SUP) allowing a "Contractor's Yard" on a parcel zoned Agricultural /
Residential / Rural Density (ARRD). Contractor's Yards are contemplated in this Zone
district as a Special Use (§3.02.03) and defined in the Zoning Resolution in Section
2.02.1555 as the following:
The use of land for the purpose of storing machinery, equipment and supplies for an
individual business that provides services to clients through the use of machinery,
equipment or supplies. Such use may include office and repair facilities.
II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Hank and Kamron Kracht (pronounced Kraft) own a 9.88 -acre tract on Morrisiana Mesa
which has been improved by a single-family dwelling, shop / barn building, ag. barn, and
where the bulk of the property is presently in active agricultural operations (hay -field
production / pasturing horses). The Krachts have operated a water hauling business for
the last two years at this location which basically consists of operating four small (80
barrel) water trucks used in the oil / gas field hauling water for dust control for various
operations.
The drivers (up to 8 employees) come to the property early in the morning, leave their
personal vehicles and take the water trucks and return at the end of the day leaving the
trucks parked at the property. (From May to September, two of the trucks stay up in the
Piceance Creek area. From October to April, two trucks are parked in the shop/ barn.)
1
BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
The Krachts do minimal maintenance (oil change/ lube) at the shop but have the trucks
primarily maintained at manufacturer / dealers staying within the terms of the warranty.
The Krachts propose to replace their existing (65' x 50') shop / barn with a slightly larger
(80' x 50') building in the same general footprint to house the shop, increase storage, and
provide two bays for parking and working on the water trucks.

vehicles at the property.

The property is accessed from County Road 337 by a privately maintained, gravel -
surfaced private driveway which is shared by three properties.

BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
III. Review Standards
The Applicant's request is consistent with the definition of a Contractors Yard approved
by the Board of County Commissioners.
Contractors Yard Definition:
"The use of land for the purpose of storing machinery, equipment and supplies for an
individual business that provides services to clients through the use of the machinery,
equipment or supplies. Such use may include office and repair facilities."
The application must satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 5.03, and 5.03.07 and
5.03.08.
4 5.03 Review Standards
1. Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted
engineering standards and approved by the Board of County Commissioners
shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed
use;
Staff Finding
The property is served by a permitted well and ISDS. The water used for the business is
not obtained from the property. The well (augmented by a West Divide Water
Conservancy Contract) and ditch shares provide adequate legal and physical water to the
residence and agricultural activities and is properly augmented to do so. The Krachts
state that they occasionally wash their trucks on site. Originally, the Krachts proposed a
bathroom in the new shop / barn but it would have required a new augmentation contract
which was significantly costly. The existing structure does not have a bathroom and they
have since deleted that request from this application. Staff finds that there is no need for
the bathroom or additional ISDS. Staff does suggest the Board require that washing of the
vehicles occur at a location permitted for that water use as it does not appear the well
permit and augmentation plan allow for that use.
2. Street Improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the
proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be
in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use;
Staff Finding
The truck trips generated can be characterized by 2 employees (drivers) employees
coming in the morning to pick up their two water trucks and returning at the end of the
day. At most, if all four trucks are at the property, then 4 employees drive in and out in the
AM and in and out in the PM for a maximum of 16 one-way trips per day.
Public access to the property is provided by CR 337 which terminates and then a private
drive picks up that provides access to the property which is also shared by two other
properties. Staff is unaware of any legal document that dictates the terms of the use of
- 3 -
BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
the shared driveway; except to say, the Krachts have explained that they provide much of
the annual maintenance and dust control. The Application contained a resort by JR
Engineering which conrlu les that the shared driveway and parkino_area are adequate to
}iandle the proposed use and that impact to adjacent property owners appears to be
minima o none eased on the dis ance a o ay.
a re erred a similar application with much fewer trips to the County Road and
Bridge Department which provided the following comments that are germane to this
application, but were requirements of the neighbor, Jabs:
Garfield County Road & Bridge has no objections to this application with the following
comments
• Cr. 337 is a narrow gravel road with residents close to the road and their quality of life
needs to be taken into consideration with the addition of truck traffic on Cr. 337
• A stop sign shall be placed at the intersection of the driveway and Cr. 337. The stop
sign and installation shall be as required in the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices)
• Any vehicle exceeding Garfield Couty oversize/overweight lit shall have an
oversize/overweight permit issued by Gfield County Road_& -B ridge Department.
Staff finds that no additional improvements to CR337 or the shared driveway are
necessary with the exception of general dust control and annual maintenance already
being performed on the shared driveway.
3. Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from
adjacent uses of land through installation of screen fences or landscape
materials on the periphery of the lot and by location of intensively utilized areas,
access points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect established
neighborhood character;
Staff Finding.
The established neighborhood character is primarily defined as 10 -acre small farming
tracts with residences. Much of the surrounding properties are in active hay -production
with horse pasturing. The subject property can be described in the same manner where
the Krachts farm the bulk of their 10 -acres but also operate a minimal water hauling
business.
The property is extremely well kept, well designed and organized. It would appear, if the 2
to 4 "1-1 & K" trucks were not parked on the property, one would not know that there was
any business operating from the property. There is no signage, no adverse lighting,
employees are limited to picking up and dropping off the 2 to 4 water trucks, there is no
outdoor storage of any kind on the property. This use operates more like a "home
occupation" than a typical Contractor's Yard.
-4-
BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
The business use does not include any outdoor storage of "equipment." The trucks are
the only component of this operation which is not screened. From the site visit, Staff
concludes that there is no need to screen the trucks on the property as they are fairly
secluded from view from most, if not all residences, in the area. (Staff will provide a
PowerPoint presentation with photos that will show the general character of the area and
the lack of visual impact to neighboring properties in the area. As the trucks are parked
now, they are not visible at all from the public right-of-way (CR 337 or CR301). More
specifically, they cannot be seen from the north, south or east as they are blocked by
topography and the Kracht's residence and shop / barn.
Nonetheless, the Krachts have committed to planting 10 — 12 evergreen trees along the
south side of the barn and parking area to better screen the trucks. Staff believes this is
well intended, will add value to their property, and will effectively screen the vehicles from
most viewpoints. Lastly, the minimal trips generated by these trucks are less impacting
than some of the agricultural activities that are a use -by -right in the same zone district.
Staff finds that this use will not detract from the established neighborhood character.
Section 5.03.07 Industrial Operation
The applicant for a permit for industrial operations shall prepare and submit to the
Planning Director ten (10) copies of an impact statement on the proposed use
describing its location, scope, design and construction schedule, including an
explanation of its operational characteristics. One (1) copy of the impact statement
shall be filed with the County Commissioners by the Planning Director. The impact
statement shall address the following:
1. Existing lawful use of water through depletion or pollution of surface run-off,
stream flow or ground water;
Staff Finding
There is little or no run-off or water use associated with the vehicle repair and
maintenance activity, as washing the vehicles is not permitted and there are no
employees to require additional sanitary facilities.
2. Impacts on adjacent land from the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise,
glare or vibration, or other emanations;
Staff Finding
Staff recommends periodic treatment of the gravel driveway to reduce dust emissions.
The proposed use is required to do maintenance inside and the only noise is from the 2 to
4 vehicles leaving and returning to the property. The residential / agricultural nature of the
neighborhood and adjacent uses would allow for a daytime dbA of 55 (7 am to 7 pm) and
50 dbA at night (7 pm to 7 am). Noise level may exceed the Residential level of 55
daytime by no more than 10 db(A) not to exceed 15 minutes in any one-hour period.
Noise generated by the proposed use will need to be demonstrated to be within the
parameters for the existing residential neighborhood and shall be required to comply with
State Statute 25-12-103. The used oil from this use will be collected on-site then taken to
- 5 -
BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
a location legally able to handle waste oil.
Impacts on wildlife and domestic animals through the creation of hazardous
attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation, blockade of migration routes,
use patterns or other disruptions;
Staff Finding
Wildlife is more apt to utilize the open pasture area surrounding the property because
there is little human activity there, and alfalfa fields are attractive to ungulates. The use is
centered in and adjacent to the shop building, so there would be little disturbance to
wildlife. Any native vegetation has long since been removed by agricultural operations of
the ranch from which this tract was created. Staff recommends that the Applicant control
noxious weeds and minimize disturbance.
Affirmatively show the impacts of truck and automobile traffic to and from such
uses and their impacts to areas in the County;
Staff Findin
The truck trips generated can be characterized by 2 employees (drivers) employees
coming in the morning to pick up their two water trucks and returning at the end of the
day. At most, if all four trucks are at the property, then 4 employees drive in and out in the
AM and in and out in the PM for a maximum of 16 one-way trips per day.
Public access to the property is provided by CR 337 which terminates and then a private
drive picks up that provides access to the property which is also shared by two other
properties. Staff is unaware of any legal document that dictates the terms of the use of
the shared driveway; except to say, the Krachts have explained that they provide much of
the annual maintenance and dust control. The Application contained a report by JR
Engineering which concludes that the shared driveway and parking area are adequate to
handle roposed use and that impact to adjacent property owners appears to be
based on the distance all of the homes are from the common driveway.
Staff a so r red a similar application with much fewer trips to the County Road and
Bridge Department which provided the following comments that are germane to this
application, but were requirements of the neighbor, Jabs:
Garfield County Road & Bridge has no objections to this application with the following
comments
• Cr. 337 is a narrow gravel road with residents close to the road and their quality of life
needs to be taken into consideration with the addition of truck traffic on Cr. 337
• A stop sign shall be placed at the intersection of the driveway and Cr. 337. The stop
sign and installation shall be as required in the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices)
• Any vehicle exceeding Garfield County oversize/overweight limit shall have an
BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
oversize/overweight permit issued by Garfield County Road & Bridge Department.
Staff finds that no additional improvements to CR337 or the shared driveway are
necessary with the exception of general dust control and annual maintenance already
being performed on the shared driveway.
That sufficient distances shall separate such use from abutting property which
might otherwise be damaged by operations of the proposed use(s);
Staff Finding
The parking of 4 trucks and the proposed shop / barn constituting a Contractor's Yard
area is adequately separated from the adjacent parcels. More than that, it is well buffered
from all residential structures in the area. The operation of a Contractor's Yard is not
expected to impact adjacent uses.
Permits may be granted for those uses with provisions that provide adequate
mitigation for the following:
1. A plan for site rehabilitation must be approved by the County Commissioners
before a permit for conditional or special use will be issued;
2. The County Commissioners may require security before a permit for special or
conditional use is issued, if required. The applicant shall furnish evidence of a
bank commitment of credit, bond, certified check or other security deemed
acceptable by the County Commissioners in the amount calculated by the
County Commissioners to secure the execution of the site rehabilitation plan in
workmanlike manner and in accordance with the specifications and
construction schedule established or approved by the County Commissioners.
Such commitments, bonds or check shall be payable to and held by the County
Commissioners;
Impacts set forth in the impact statement and compliance with the standards
contained in Section 5.03.08 of this Resolution.
Staff Finding
Because the use on-site is limited to minor maintenance, limited storage of components
and equipment that is adequately screened and enclosed, and the use is proposed to be
administrated by conditions set forth by the BOCC in the SUP, Staff feels that no
additional security or permits are necessary.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
A. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the
Board of County Commissioners;
-7-
BOCC 09/08/2008 FJ
B. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and
complete and that all interested parties were heard at that meeting;
C. The Application is in conformance with §3.02.03, §5.03.07 and §5.03.08 of the
Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended; and
D. That for the above stated and other reason, the proposed Special Use Permit is in
the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Special Use Permit allowing a "Contractor's
Yard" with the following conditions:
1. That all representation made by the Applicant in the application and as testimony
in the public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners shall be
conditions of approval, unless specifically altered by the Board of County
Commissioners.
2. Volume and sound generated shall comply with the standards set forth for
residential neighborhoods in the Colorado Revised State Statute 25-12-103, and

We would like to go on record that we oppose a Special Use Permit for a Contractors Yard permit
being heard on August, 04, 2008 at 1:15pm for Hank T. Kracht & Kamron Dimarco-Kracht property
located on approximately 9.86 acres Plat Morrisania Mesa Tract 12, addressed at 0643 County Road
337, Parachute CO 81635.
We are located due West on Tract 11 and enjoy and want to preserve the integrity of the (ARRD) zone
distinction as it is.
We fear that increased traffic would be a safety concem as well as truck traffic at early and late hours
would deteriorate the quality of life enjoyed there currently and property values would suffer as a result.
From an environmental stand point, we are not interested in seeing the introduction of chemicals and
by products being introduced to a residential area from construction sites or natural gas exploration and

I/‘
My name is Becky Warner. I reside at 0465 CR 340, Parachute, CO, known as Tract 23,
Morrisania Mesa and I own Tract 5 where I plan to reside. These two parcels are north
and south of Tract 12 owned by Hank and Kamron Kracht.
I would like to go on record that I oppose a Special Use Permit for a Contractors Yard
and the Industrial use for the property know as 0643 CR 337, Parachute, Colorado.
My story:
I found Morrisania Mesa the first time back in 1974 when as a young homemaker I
wanted to can cherries. My mom and I traveled from Carbondale and Basalt to the Eames
Orchard to pick cherries.
I again found Morrisania Mesa in 1999 when I wanted to relocate to the Parachute area to
live closer to my daughter, son -in -Law and grand children in order to have family closer
and to raise my son Wyatt.
I eventually ended up buying Tract 5. Anyone who knows me knows how elated I was to
have found such a great place to build a home. I have told everyone that I truly believed I
had found my piece of heaven right here on earth and that I felt like Julie Andrews in the
Sound of Music when I stood in the middle of this piece of property.
In June of 2005 I purchased the home I now live in at 0465 CR 340.
The reason that I chose to live on Morrisaina Mesa is this. AGRICULTURAL RURAL
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY. I wanted to live out of town where I could have my horses,
ride my horses, have chickens, a place to raise a garden, farm, enjoy the wildlife and
mostly enjoy the fact that I didn't have close neighbors and could raise my son in a
country environment. BUT NEVER on my list of positives, were the ideas, that I or a
neighbor could or would turn Morrisania Mesa into a Contractors Yard area or worse yet
an Industrial area!
This is not what Morrisania Mesa is about. It never was! Morrisania Mesa has a rich,
rural history of farming, fruit growing that most of us are proud that we are currently a
part of. We choose to live here, to raise our kids in the country, to retire and enjoy
quality country living on a Mesa with pristine views.
The investment made in order to live here is great. My whole Life investments are in these
two properties. My future depends on these two investments for my retirement and
enjoyment of life. I truly believe that this is the reason the majority of property owners
purchased and have made their homes on Morrisania Mesa. Your approval of Special Use
permits for Contractors Yards on Morrisania Mesa damage the integrity of our rural
community and everyone's property values. You, as our representatives need to consider
this matter closely. If you pass this permit, it will only open the door for others. We need
to STOP this now!
Section 5.03.11 of the County regulations state that the BOCC may deny a special use
based on the lack of physical separation in terms of distance from similar uses. In July,
the BOCC approved a special use permit for Jason and Kelli Jabs, which share a common
property pin (Jab SE, Kracht NW) and the respective homes are approximately 200 feet
apart. Two contractor's yards in such close proximity will only further erode the rural
charm of this area, increase traffic, and change the character of the neighborhood. Instead
of being a rural, agricultural neighborhood, these types of uses will convert our beautiful
mesa to an industrial area. Please don't let this happen.
I would like to remind all that it is my constitutional right to express my opinion on this
matter and I have no animosity towards any of my neighbors. I ask that the County
Commissioners deny the request for the Kracht Special Use Permit before you now for
consideration.
Respectfully submitted this 3`a day of September, 2008.

To Whom It May Concern:
EXHIBIT
I am writing a letter pertaining to the Special Use Permit submitted by Hank and Kamron Kracht on Tract 12,
Morrisania Mesa or 0643 CR 337, Parachute, CO 81635. I am friends with the Krachts' and have helped
Kamron's daughter with her barrel horse on numerous occasions! I am opposing the special use permit and
would oppose this issue no matter who was applying. After all, the special use permitting process does allow
for the area residents to express their views on the special use. It appears to me that a petition that has been
circulated and signed by numerous members of the Morrisania Mesa community should alert the commissioners
to how the majority of the area residents feel about this issue. Isn't part of the hearing process to allow the
residents who will be affected to voice their support and/or concern? And, if this is the case do the
commissioners take the various positions expressed into consideration before they make their final decision?
My residence is located at 0166 CR 340, Morrisania Mesa, Parachute, CO. My horses have been boarded on
Morrisania Mesa since 1992 and I was very lucky to be able to purchase my current residence in 2006! I
absolutely love where I live! It is a beautiful, small acreage area! There is an abundance of wildlife, hay fields,
gardens, flowers, trees, lots of places to ride my horses, etc! I would love to see the area remain agricultural in
its nature! This is my home and my largest investment.
I would hate to see the property values diminished because of the impact if industrial type use is permitted.
Driving west of Parachute there are several industrial type yards between the interstate and the old highway 6.
They do not look inviting for anyone to want to build their home near.
The residents on Morrisania Mesa have experienced impact on 301 Road from all of the oil and gas production
currently taking place on and around the Mesa. This is the main road leading to Morrisania Mesa, not the side
roads. Williams Production Company is currently paving 301 Road from the impact of their and many other
companies trucks! 301 Road got extremely torn up. What will happen to all the county roads if the
commissioners allow the area to be riddled with industrial type use? Will the county be aggressive in their
endeavors to "fix" and keep up with the erosion of the roads?
Please give serious consideration to this special use permit. Many residents would like to see the area stay
agricultural in nature. It is where we live, have our animals, raise hay, etc. Please keep Morrisania Mesa a
"country" setting! There is an abundance of Garfield County that could be utilized for industry -type
businesses.
Thank you for your time.

MORRISANIA MESA RESIDENTS AND NEARBY RESIDENTS' LETTER OF
CONCERN AND OPPOSITION TO THE KRACHT LAND USE APPLICATION
FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT INVOLVING AN UNAUTHORIZED,
NON -PERMITTED AND INVASIVE LAND USE.
July 24, 2008
With this letter we the undersigned residents of Morrisania Mesa and surrounding area
are submitting this letter of concern and petition to the Garfield County Board of
Commissioners in opposition to the Kracht conditional use permit application. It shall be
given to the Garfield County Board of Commissioners on August 4` , 2008 at 1:30 PM,
This letter unequivocally indicates that we do not, in any way support the
appllcation of Hank T. Kracht and Kameron Dimarco Kracht's request for a
Conditional Use Permit for a "Contractors Yard" used to support the hauling of
water to gas drilling locations.
Location of the proposed "Contractors Yard":
Tract 12 Original Plat of Morrisania Ranch, County of Garfield, State of Colorado. Also,
known as a 10 acre property addressed as 0643 County,Road 33 7, Parachute, Co. 81635
t 'II 1' 1 AN'11 1!8';1.: .yr"'t \ I
The water truck business fromfthis location has been and currently is an illegal •non -
permitted use that has been on •gofng•for over` 2' years'Only when the County '
discovered this illegal use and tried to stop the use, did the Krachts seek approval to
continue this non -permitted commercial use in an agricultural and residential area.
We are not opposed to growth in the Parachute, Co. area,.Our opposition is not in any
way personally driven. We are opposed to the transformation of our rural residential
setting into a commercial business setting through the use of Conditional'or Special Use
Permits. The County Commissioners need`to'suppoit'ihe sptrii�and`iptentllof the rA le'
zoning and limit the use of Conditional or Special Use Pernuts which in effect transform
precious rural residential areas into commercial and or industrial areas over time. We
support established zoning regulations that residentialilareal`.slio\ild be'in residentially
zoned areas and commercial businesses in'coinmercially zoned areas.
