Exhibit D - Planning commission and staff Recommendation
(" PC/Staff APPlication")
Given the provided information, Staff understands that the McCown Proposal suggests
the following:
Small Facilities should be limited to eight (8) people'
Occupancy should be based on people, not beds'
The McCown proposal requires notification to the Fire Protection District and
Sheriff,s Office but the Notiiication does not require a Sign-Off from that district
or Office. However, the Small Facility will need to be reviewed by the relevant
Fire protection District regarding initiil fire suppression prior to submittal of the
notice (checklist) to the OirfietO-County Planning Department (per Performance
Standard L within the McCown Proposal).
Small Facilities should be exempt from all Garfield County Building Permit and
Fire code requirements. However, the Mccown Proposal such facilities will be
required to a'bide by all pertinent State, Federal and Fire Protection District
permits and regulations.
5. Small Facilities should be inspected by a third-party Professional Engineer
licensed in the State of Colorado prior to occupation'
6. All submittals should be provided to the County within 48 hours of occupation.
Submission requirements should consist of:
a. A Notice document which would include identifying information about the
unit, location and dates of intended use.
b. A Certification performed by a licensed third party inspector (P E )
verifying that the Small facility meets the performance standards as
outlined in the McCown ProPosal.
Following a review of the McCown Proposal, Staff has several issues/questions which
would need to be responded to prior to adoption.
1. "Manufactured Homes" The McCown Proposal specifies th9 use of
manufactured homes instead of Factory Built Nonresidential Structures'
However, as Small Facilities will be required to abide by all pertinent State
regulations, Resolution 35 of the Colorado Division of Housing requires that the
un-its utilized within Small Facilities be Factory Built Nonresidential Structures as
defined in Resolution 35 and not manufactured homes as defined in CRS 42-1-
102(61).

APril2, 2008
,,Essential Personnel" - The suggested language within the McCown Proposal
uses the term "Essential Perso-n-nel". Since there is no accepted definition of
"Essential Personnel", Staff does not recommend the use of this term'
,,Licensed Third-Party lnspector'' - Without a definition of what this means within
the adopted regulat'rons, the allowable field of inspectors is very broad' Staff
recommends that the language be tightened up in the regulations to specify
exacly what qualification in inspectoi must possess to be able to inspect and
i"r6ri a Smatt Facility. The tr/lcCown Proposal application (not regulations)
states that either a Professional Engineer or a "commercial building inspector
certified by the lnternational Code Council" may inspect the Small Facilities.
Notice within 48 hours of occupation - currently, staff recommends that all
notification and submittals be conducted at least 24 hours prior to inst?llation.
However, this recommendation is based on the assumption that -a Building
Permit will be issued for the small Facility. The McCown Proposal is for a notice
period within 48 hours of occupation. staff does not foresee any issues with.the
,""orrendation if no Building Permits are being issued, however it is unclear
as to whether this means 48 hours prior to or after occupation of the facility. This
language should be clarifled before adoption of this recommendation'
rJu5. t#L proposed application states. "The County Department's will advise the
nppficant within +d norrs of receipt if any deficiencies with the application are
identified." - As a clarification, this scenario is only a notice or checklist and as
such there is no subsequent approval or denial. ln other words, the checklist is
not an application and hence there is no applicant. To this end, the County has
no immediate recourse to require adequate or correct information. lf it is found
that the provided information as required in the Zoning Resolution is not
accurate or correct, this matter will be considered a Zoning Violation and
Pursued as such.
6. performance Standard L - As a point of review, as recommended the notice
1. -
(checklist) and plans will need to be reviewed by the relevant Fire Protection
A q'^ biitrl.t prior to submittal to the Planning Department to make a determination on
^ClUg/\ the size of the water storage tank for initial fire suppression as required in
Z 7 , ttta' , . Standard L within the McCown Proposal. The Fire Protection Districts have
"f,t)u9}$ :"rX;?::"r?"to
have the abitity to review each facility individually for initial fire
/l, b,'r-,,r Based on a review of the McCown Proposal, Staff has provided a draft application!2-] f-, if*ninit C - "Staff Modified McCown Application") which is in the same style as
the existing Garfield County Building and Planning forms and changes several-are-as in
response to the issues as addrelsed above. ln addition, whereas the McCown
proposal modifies some of the language within the Performance Standards as
suggested by the Staff and Planning Commission, the Staff Modified McCown
proposal utilizes the Performance Standards verbatim from the Planning Commission
recommendation with some exceptions as outlined below. The differences between
the recommended application and the staff drafted application are as follows:
2.

1.
2.
April2, 2008
"Manufactured Homes" - ln order to maintain consistency with any State
regulations, Staff recommends that all references to "manufactured homes" be
chlnged to read "Factory Built Nonresidential Structures"'
"ESSential Personnel" - Staff recommendS remOving "ESSential PersOnnel" frOm
the classification and has replaced it with the following language: "The Small
Facility shall be occupied by eight (8) or fewer employees, contractors or sub-
contractors of the operatoi whb are needed for onsite safety of the related
commercial, industrial, extraction or highway operation."
"Licensed Third-Party Inspectoi' -Although anyone may become a building
inspector certified by the lnternational Code Council by taking and passing
proscribed tests, Staff understands that the Code Council does not have a
review board or reprimand for non-compliance with applicable regulations. To
this extent, without ihe backing of a PE stamp and license, an inspector certified
by the lnternational Code Council lacks the credibility of a PE. To this end, for
the reasons of uniformity and credibility, Staff has inserted language specifying
that the certifying individual be a Professional Engineer (PE) licensed in the
State of Coloiado. This language should appear both within the Checklist and
the Zoning Resolution.
Notice witnin 48 hours of Occupation - Staff recommends that all notifications
and submittals of required information occur within 48 hours following
occupation and removal of the Small Facility to allow for weekend installations.
The McCown Proposal states: "The County Department's will advise the
Applicant within 48 hours of receipt if any deficiencies with the application are
identified." - Staff has left out this language from the Staff Modified McCown
Application and regulations since it is not appropriate to a notice or checklist
which does not obtain a formal determination of approval or denial. Further, in
order to enable staff to act on submittal issues as Zoning Violations, Staff
recommends inserting the following Performance Standards into Section
5.02.23 of the Zoning Resolution of 1978:
Q. The Operator shall obtain a certification inspection conducted by a third-
party independent Professional Engineer Licensed in the State of
Colorado. The certification shall verify that at the time of inspection the
identified Small Facility meets or exceeds the standards set forth in
Section 5.02.23 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as
amended. This certification shall be on forms provided by the Garfield
County Planning Department. The certification shall p+Brovided to the
Garfield County Planning Department within 48 hours [io] to occupation
of the Small Facility. ET^-t
R. The Operator shall accurately complete an Administrative Checklist
provided by the Garfield County Planning Department identifying the
iocation of the facility (Sectionffownship/Range, relevant Tax Parcel
Number, and GPS coordinates or Latitude/Longitude coordinates);

April2, 2008
relevant zone district; maximum number of occupants; cumulative amount
of time (in days) that the Small Facility will be at the specified location;
identification of the State or Federal permitting agency overseeing
reclamation, rehabilitation and revegetation of the Permitted Site and
relevant permit number; date of installation; date of removal; name and
contact information of the relevant landowner; name and contact
information of the Operator; Z4-hour emergency contact information for
the Operator; building information (make, manufacture year, serial
number, size (square feet)); signature and contact information of the
Operator's contact Person.
6. Performance Standard L - Considering input from the Fire Protection Districts in
regards to the amount of initial fire suppression water which should be provided
at a Small Facility, Staff recommends that the Operator consult with the relevant
Fire Protection District prior to installation regarding appropriate sizing of initial
fire suppressions tanks. A line has been added to Page 2 of the Staff Modified
McCown Application regarding this requirement. However, should the Board
wish to impose a specific size for the water storage tank, Staff recommends
2500 gallons of water storage for fire suppression per Small Facility based on
initial reviews by the Fire Protection Districts and the Sheriff's Office.
lll. Differences between Staff Modified Mccown Application (Exhibit C) and
PC/Staff Application (Exhibit D)
ln addition, Staff has prepared a draft application for the Planning Commission and
Staff recommended Small Facility regulations ("PCiStaff Application"). Below are the
major differences between the Staff Modified McCown Application and the PC/Staff
Application.
Submittal Timing - As the Staff Modified McCown Application does not require a
Building Permit, this Administrative Checklist is to be submitted within 48 hours
prior to the occupation of the Small Facility. On the other hand, since the
pClStat Application would require a Building Permit, this Administrative
Checklist would be submitted as an addendum to the Building Permit itself.
Building lnformation - Since the Staff Modified McCown Application does not
requirJa Building Permit, additional information is required regarding the units
to ensure that th-ey are not recreational vehicles as well as keep track of the
units which are being utilized on the Permitted Sites.
ISDS Permit Number - Both the Staff Modified McCown Application and the
PC/Staff Application assume that the operators will be required to obtain ISDS
permits from Garfield County for vault-and-haul systems. The Operator will be
iequired to identify which permit number the vault-and-haul system is permitted
under for the Small Facility. ln addition, Staff is currently working to determine
the feasibility of a general ISDS permit for Small Facilities. lf this works out, the
general ISDS Permit Number will be required in this line to indicate the permit
1.
2.
3.

5.
April2, 2008
number which allows for that particular vault-and-haul system. ln addition, any
other necessary changes will be made to the application form itself.
Performance Standard L (fire protection) - A section stating the requirements of
Standard L and a line to indicate how much water storage capacity is required
for the site per the Fire Protection District input is provided in the Staff Modified
McCown Application. The PC/Staff Application satisfies Standard L through the
Fire District or Sheriff's Office sign-off sheet.
Submittal Requirements - Staff understands that the requirements for a site
plan are recommended to be dropped from the PC/Staff Application. As a result,
there is not a checklist for submittal requirements within Staff Modified McCown
Application. Further, it appears that the requirement for submittal of the State or
Federal Permit (APD) has been dropped from the McCown Proposal. As a
result, this submittal requirement does not appear on the Staff Modified
McCown Application.
Performance Standard Submittal List - ln order to ensure that Garfield County
can pursue a lack of accurate information as a zoning enforcement issue, Staff
has inserted Sections Q and R into the Performance Standards section of
5.O2.23.
Certification by a Third-Party lnspector - As demonstrated in the Staff Modified
McCown Application and the McCown Proposal, the third-party inspection is to
be conducted by a Professional Engineer (PE) who is licensed in the State of
Colorado. As stated earlier, due to uniformity and credibility concerns, Staff
does not recommend the use of inspectors certified only by the lnternational
Code Council. Since the PC/Staff Application presumably requires Building
Permits, only the Operator Contact signature indicating that they have read and
understand the standards to which the Small Facility will be held is required.
Fire District and Sheriff's Office Review - Although both the Staff Modified
McCown Application and the PC/Staff Application require review by the relevant
Fire Protection District, only the PC/Staff Application requires that a
representative of that department sign the form indicating that all necessary
information has been submitted for that department to perform their intended
function efficiently. The Staff Modified McCown Application (and McCown
Proposal) requires that the Fire District or Sheriffs Office review for the size of
the initial fire suppression tank at the Small Facility. The PC/Staff Application
allows the Fire Protection District or Sheriff's Office review of fire extinguisher,
smoke alarm and sprinkler system placement in relation to this checklist
process.

lV. Summary
ln summary, as this memo points out, Staff received a proposal from Commissioner
McCown, Out nas not received any comments from any other commissioners. So, Staff
has only run a review of the McCown Proposal and compared it to the PC/Staff
recommendation.
Staff sees that there are several major issues regarding the Small Facilities which
require Board attention before this text amendment can move forward. These issues

Dear Commissioners:
As you once again consider temporary housing regulations on Monday, the Glenwood Springs
Association of REALTORS@ urges you to consider some element of regulation of the oil & gas
industry's temporary housing, also known as Man Camps.
Our members believe that the man camps should be held to the same standards as developers.
While the Oil & Gas industry is essential to our economy, it does not deserve special treatment.
Requirements for development of infrastructure, water, sewer, fire mitigation, and roads should be
in place as it is in any new housing development in Garfield County. Clean up of a site after
temporary housing has been moved is also critical. While in some cases the oil and gas industry
may be able to self-regulate itself, in the area of temporary housing, we believe it is unfair, and
potentially unsafe, to do so.
We urge you to adhere to the recommendations put forth to you by the planning staff and the
Planning and Zoning Commission for small temporary housing facilities. The key factors addressed
in their proposal are that: in addition to a checks and balance system up front to help assure
compliance, the Sheriff s office and Fire District will also be informed and have obtained all of the
necessary information. The applicant must also obtain additional signoff s at the Building Permit
Stage. In our view, this is essential to ensure safety and compliance in the temporary housing
facilities.
The Glenwood Springs Association of REALTORS@ represents 310 members across Garfield
County comprised of REALTORS@ and affiliate members. Please feel free to contact me at (970)
393-3939 or by email at sthorsteinson@.coloradorealtors.com if you have any questions or would
like to discuss this further.
Sincerely,

April 04, 2008
Deor Lorry,
ln preporotion for next week's Commissioner meeting I'd like to send this e-moil, os lwill
be unoble to ottend. lt is in regord to your on-going consideroiion of mon comps on
privote property.
I om still groteful thot Gorfield County is considering regulotions where the rules ore
silent in providing for these comps, ond I believe this oction stonds to lend o greot deol
of occountobility io this controversiol industry proctice. I believe if mon comps ore
ollowed oi oll, locol regulotion is essentiol.
However, ofter ottending the droft rules briefing ond press conference in Denver on
Mondoy post, (ond observing the politicolwrongling in the copitol building cofeterio
immediotely ofter) I om convinced thot industry's request for mon-comps on site is
more of on obusive proctice thon one of sofety concern. ln the hobit of pushing
extremes, rother thon supporting o bolonced opprooch, there seems to be o pottern
of demonding excess within this industry - ond ihe push for mon comps on privote
property seems to be one more effort on the port of industry to lessen their own
inconveniences of the expense of powerless londowners.
It is becoming increosingly difficult for me to fothom why o smoll bottolion of workers
must reside on o londowner's property, housed in o clutch of severol sizeoble modulor-
type homes (not just single-wide troilers) throughout ihe drilling process. Becouse of this
industry's tendencies toword obuse, I urge you to reconsider this request from industry
os o whole; require o demonstrotion of why it is necessory; strongly limit the number of
workers in ihe event this proctice is ollowed; ond, implement not only sound stondords,
but most importontly, devise o mechonism for londowner opprovol.
I understond ond om quite relieved thoi not oll operotors ore myopic ond selfish in
their opprooch to energy development, buf of course regulotions ore intended to
curb the obuses of those thot ore. As o londowner, we must depend upon your insight,

vision ond leodership to defend best proctices ond prevent obuses which ore
romponi in this climote of occeleroted permitting.
As well pods grow to sometimes 8 ocres during the spudding of multiple wells, I only
hope you con conceive of the burden this ploces on o neorby fomily. The duroiion of
this octivity ond its physicol ond emotionol impoct is reol ond brood. The omount of
lond it cloims from o 35 ocre porcel is boggling ond unreosonoble. To odd mon
comps to this scenorio opens o whole new level of industriol octivity which is olreody
ollowed to occur of increosing density ond within ,l50 feet of one's home. The burden
is becoming too greot ond the rules ore heretofore insufficient when considering it is
the londowner who obsorbs insuronce ond toxes io support their property - not the
energy industry which enjoys on ever-exponding right to toke it.
Thonk you for toking these comments into considerotion during your coreful
deliberotions of this issue.

Lr order to balance the needs of the industr"y with the needs of the land owners in Garfield
County; it is my proposal that we adopt a regulation that provides the following for
Small On-site Temporary Employee Housing:
o Permitting Process: Administrative -
l-8 personnel (maximum is increased by 2 from original proposal)
Same number ofbeds as personnel
County sign-offrequirements addition - signature of land owner.
7 day (instead of 14) appeal period for Small On-site Housing
Having an Administrative permitting process in place addresses issues raised by atl of the
various stakeholders.
b It reduces the time it currently takes to obtain permitting for housing, while giving the
County authority to regulate such use.
5 It encourages and facilitates agreement between the parties on location, duration and
number of people being housed on a landowner's property.
o It allows the industry to obtain the necessary sign-offsignatures themselves, which
can speed the process up for them.
o My proposal decreases the number of days required for appeal for Small On-site
Housing from 14 to 7 days.
o It recognizes the landowners right to participate in planning for housing on their
propefty.
o It notices neighboring landowners who may be imFacted by housing of employees.o It recognizes the importance of allowing "essential personnel" 24 hour access to the
site during the drilling and fracing process.
