I. APPLICATION HISTORY
TheZoning Resolution of 1978 as Amended provides the Board with the option of referring
Special Use Permits to the Planning Commission for their recommendation in a public hearing as
per Section 9.03 of theZoningResolution of 1978, as amended. On July lZ,ZOO ,the BOCC
chose not to refer this request to the Planning Commission for recommendation.
Generally, the Applicant proposes to build and operate or lease nine (9) separate buildings of
approximately 1,500 to 10,000 sq. ft. for oil and gas industry companies in and near the Grass Mesa
Area and by code, allowing storage of oil and gas drilling equipment, storage, or material handling of
natural resources. The use would include storage of oil and gas industry related vehicles of various
size, a repair shop and maintenance facilities, warehouse, and office facilities for l4-20 employees on
a2 acre building envelopes for each of the nine buildings. Hours of operation are proposed to be 24
hours although operations that would generate excessive noise will be limited to 8 am to 6pm
Monday through Friday.
The topography of most of the 38+ acre site generally slopes toward County Road 319, is composed
geologically of loess wind blown soils, and is covered with sagebrush and pinion and junip., tr."r.
The adjacent land uses are considered to be medium to heavy intensity industrial uses and proposed
single family residential while other nearby uses includes relatively large properties consisting of
gtazing and pastureland and BLM land. All of the property surrounding tfr" r"U.j"ct site is privately
owned. There are various observed wildlife habitats nearbyto the property. ail oltne land within the
permit boundary and surrounding areas are not within the 100-ye; flood plain but can experience
intense storm events that may transport massive amounts of geologic debris.

V. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
Land Use Maps: The property lies within Study Area 3 and is designated on the proposed land use
map as: Outlying Residential,2-acre minimum. The Applicants proposal is industrial which is not
consistent with the present designation on the county's land use map. This item has NOT been met.
Text of the Garfield Countv Comprehensive Plan of 2000: consider the following Goals,
Objectives, and policies that apply to the proposal:
a. Goals
Garfield County will encourage the long-term commercial and industrial developrnent of a
diversified industrial base for the County which recognizes the human resources, natural
resources, and physical location-to-market capabilities of the communifit, and which further
recognizes and addresses the social and environmental impacts of industrinl uses.
StaffResponse: Locating industrial development in this location is consistent with the Plan
as there are other light industrial uses in the area, although the social impact of this proposal
does not consider the impact that will result upon the adjacent residential development.
Additionally, the impact of the proposal on the environment has not been measured as the
applicant has not submitted site-specific information discussing the proposed uses. This
item has NOT been met.
b. Obiectives
4.2 To ensure that commercial and industrinl developments are compatible with adjacent land
uses and mitigate impacts identified during the plan review process.
StaffResponse: The property is located in rural and partially developed areas of the County,
which is mainly used for other industrial uses and rangeland. There is no significant single-
family residence presence in the area other than a proposed 20+-lot single-family dwelling
unit subdivision, which this proposal would surround on 2 sides and be within immediate
proximity. This item has NOT been met.

l.
4.3 Encourage the location of industrial development in areas where visual, noise, air quali$4 and
infrastructure impacts are reduc ed.
Staff Response: The level of impact on the surrounding natural environment and built and
proposed development is unable to be determined at this time due to the lack of information
from the applicant. The Applicant should use but has not proposed an adequate combination
of berms, trees, and other various landscaping components to fully screen the proposed use.
Additionally, The Applicant further proposes to defer this requirement to the building permit
phase, which is unacceptable. This item has NOT been met.
4.6 Ensure the type, size, and scope of industrial and commercial development are consistent with
the long-term land use objectives of the county.
Staff Response: The Plan's proposed land use map shows this property as Outlying
Residential, 2 acre minimum and although there are few Residential structures in the
immediate vicinity it is perceived the proposed single-family dwelling units to be constructed
adjacent to this proposal or nearby along the 319 corridor would be adversely affected.
However, as stated earlier, the applicant has not fully discussed the impact of the proposed
uses, which may help to mitigate the perceived impact that this proposal introduces to the
area. This item has NOT been met.
SUBDIVISION REGULATION REVIEW STANDARDS
The site is currently being divided by warranty deed, however at this time is still part of a77 -
acre parcel of which the SUP is requested for only 38+/- acres. Also, the Applicant appears
to have illegally subdivided land by creating by warranty deed with at least 2 parcels each less
than 35 ac. These are shown on the plan drawing as the northern and the southern portion of
the SUP parcel, although the metes and bounds description on the plan describes the two
portions as one parcel of land.
The Applicant includes the land conveyed to Garfield County by warranty deed in 1910 for
what is now a portion of CR 319 to show contiguity between the north and south portions of
the SUP parcel. However, the warranty deed conveying land from the LazierlSills partnership
to Sills specifically excludes the land conveyed to the county as does the metes and bounds
description on the plan. Applicant must prove its right to include CR 319 in the description
of the subject parcel. This item has NOT been met.
VII. ZONING RESOLUTION REVIEW STANDARDS
Special Uses are subject to the standards in Section 5.03 of the TnningResolution. In addition,
the proposed use, due to its industrial nature, shall also be required to address the industrial
VL
perfonnance standards in 5.03.07 and 5.03.098 of the Zoning Resolution. Staff presents these
review standards below followed by a response.
A. Section 5.03 Review Standards
I) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted engineering
standards and approied by the Board of County Commissioners shallbither bb in placb
or shall be constructed ii conjunctioiwith the proposed usel
Staff Response: The Applicant has not demonstrated the ability to provide required
water rights that would adequately serve the proposed use. As stated in the July 22,2004
from Chris Hale of Mountain Cross Engineering, the County's consulting engineer: "The
well is not permitted for the uses proposed. Also, the chart in the application from West
Divide does not account for the uses proposed. The water system proposed would need to
be a community system that would need to be regulated and approved by the State..."
The application's description of the 319 watercompany states that is was created to
provide water service to not only the subject parcel but also a planned residential project
on the west side of CR 319, and "future developments that may occur within the 160-
parcel purchased by the LazierlSill Partnership in 1978." Therefore, adequate for water
provision for the 38 ac. SUP site is not available.
Also, the information included proposing commercial development is incomplete from
a fire protection water standpoint. The data in the application documents submitted by
the Applicant states that fire protection water is available and that it will be provided,
however it does not include the design of the system or any other pertinent data. This
item has NOT been met.
2) Street improvements adequate to accornmodate traffic volume generated by the
proposg-d_use and to provi.de safe, convenient access to-the use shall-either be in-place
or shall be construcied in conjunction with the proposed use;
StaffResponse: Section5.03.07(D)oftheapplicationspeakstotheincreasedtrafficthat
is anticipated from the proposed Special Use though these impacts have not been
adequately addressed. Although there is an expectation of minimized industrial traffic
between Rifle and the proposed sites one can assume increased administrative and onsite
support staff traffic which the applicant has further failed to address. A study assessing
quantifiable traffic impacts attributed to the proposed use, indicating the existing
infrastructure can accommodate the proposed traffic, should be provided. This item has
NOT been met.
3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on andfrom adjacent uses
of land through installation of screenfences 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;
5
Staff Response: The use as proposed is expected to adversely impact adjacent uses as
there is no adequate provision in the application for the use ofscreen fences, or landscape
materials. The landscaping plan is mentioned in general terms, and it is stated that it will
be provided at too late a date for proper review by staff which circumvents review for this
phase for recommendation to the BOCC. Further, the Applicant has failed to fully
describe the proposed use so staff cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses
and as a result cannot provide any analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This
item has NOT been met.
B. Section 5.03.07 Industrial Operation
Industrial Operations, including extraction, processing, fabrication, industrial support facilities,
mineral waste disposal, storage, sanitary landfill, salvage yard, access routes and utility lines,
shall be permitted, provided:
1) The applicant for a pennit for industrial operations shall prepare and submit to the
Planning Director tey (10) copies of an impict statement onihe-proposed use describing
its location, scope, design and constructi.on schedule, includiig in explnnation of iis
operational characteristigs. One (l) copy of the impact statement sha[befilednith tht
Couryty Commissioners by the Planning Director. The impact statement-shall address
the following:
a) Existing lawful use of water through depletion or pollution of surface run-off,
streamflow or ground waterl
Staff Response: The Applicant has indicated that as a result of cleaning and washing
of vehicles used in the extraction of materials, any liquids and washed materials in this
process shall be required to be sealed in a container and removed from the property. No
water not normally allowed to be discharged into a residential septic system will be
allowed.
The Applicant has failed to describe and the mitigation features and locations that will
be applied to this preventive measure such as lined wash pits, collection systems and
methods of removal and disposal. This item has Nor been met.
b) Impacts on adiacent landfrom the generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or
vibration, or other emanations;
Staff Response: The Applicant has indicated there "shall be no generation of vapor,
dust, smoke, glare, vibrations, or other emanations permitted on this lands", but has
failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff can properly ascertain the full impact
of the uses proposed and ultimately offer proper mitigation efforts or at a minimum
concur with the Applicant s assessment This item has Nor been met.
2)
c) Impacts on wildffi and domestic animals through the creation of hazardous
attractions, alteration of existing native vegetation, bTockade of migratiiln routes, usepatterns or other disruptions;
Staff Response: The applicant states that an extensive wildlife and vegetation report
was provided in a previous separate though related application proposal and not in this
application as required. Additionally, the Applicant has failed to fully describe the
proposed use so staff can properly ascertain the full impact of the uses proposed. This
item has NOT been met.
d) Affirmalively show the impacts of truck and automobile traffic to andfrom such usesand their impacts to areas in the County;
Staff Response: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff
cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses and as a result cannot provide
any analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This item has NOT been met.
e) Th-at sfficient distances shall separate such usefrom abutting propefi which might
otherwise be damaged by operations of the profosed use(s);
Staff Response: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff
cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses and as a result cannot provide
any analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This item has NOT been met.
fi Mitigation meas.ures proposedfor all of theforegoing impacts identified andfor thestandards identified in Section 5.03.08 of this Resolution
Staff Response: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff
cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses and as a result cannot provide
any analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This item has NOT been met.
P^erryi* 1n-p be grantedfor those uses with provisions that provide adequate mitigation
for the following:
b) The -County Commissioners may 1eeuire securigt before a permit for special orconditional use is iss_ye(, if ryquired. The applicait snaUfturn'ish eviience'of a bankcommitment_of credit, bond, certified check-or other secirity deemed acrtftobl, bythe County- Commissioners in the amount calculated by the-County Comiissioneis
to secure the execution of the site rehabilitation plan ii workmanike *anner and inaccordance with the specifications and construciion schedule established or approved
by the -C-orlnty Commissioners, Such commitments, bonds or check shall be'payable
to and held by the County Commissionersl
Staff Response: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff
cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses and as a result cannot provide
any analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This item has NOT been met.
7
c) Impacts set forth in the impact statement and compliance with the standards
contained in Section 5.03.08 of t:his Resolution.
Staff Response: see Section 5.03.08 Below.
C. Section 5.03.08 Industrial Performance Standards
All industrial operations in the County shall comply with applicable County, State, and
Federal regulations regulating water, air and noise pollution and shall not be conducted in a
rnanner constituting a public nuisance or hazard. Operations shall be conducted in such a
manner as to minimize heat, dust, smoke, vibration, glare and odor and all other undesirable
environmental effects beyond the boundaries of the propefi in which such uses are located,
in accord with the following standards:
1) \olume of sound generated shall comply with the standards set forth in the Colorado
Revised Statutes at the time any new application is made.
Staff Response: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff
cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses and as a result cannot provide any
analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This item has NOT been met.
2) Vibration generated: every use shall be so operated that the ground vibration inherently
and re_cut-ently ge,nerated is not perceptible, without instriments, at any point of aiy
boundary line of the propergt on whi.ch the use is located;
Staff Response: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff
cannot properly ascertain the full impact of those uses and as a result cannot provide any
analysis of any proposed mitigation of those uses. This item has NOT been met.
3) Emissionl o{ sryo\e and particulate matter: every ase shall be operated so as to comply
with all Federal, State and County air quality laws, regulationi and standards;
Staff Resnonse: The Applicant has failed to fully describe the proposed use so staff

RE: Review of Special Use Permit for the 319 Properties
Dear Jim:
tr have performed a review of the documents provided for the Special Use Permit (SLry) of the 319
Properlies. I ha,"e ilie ftiilo',ving cgmm€lits, qucs'iions, or conccrns.
. The well is not permitted for the uses proposed. Also, the chart from West Divide does not account
for the uses proposed. The water system proposed would need to be a Community systgm that would
need to be regulated and approved by the State. These items take time and effort to resolve.,
Therefore, it is recommended that the water system be in place and operational prior to issuance of
the SUP. Section 5.03(l) appears to support this.
o Section 5,03(1) requires that sanitation services be provided. Since individual sewage'disposal
systems are proposed, engineering convention would dictate that as a condiiion of approval, each
building site should have an engineered sewage disposal system.
o The applicant has provided the existing Average Daily Traffic counts for various counf roads
including County Road #319 West Mamm Creek Road. However Section 5.03.07(D) speaks,to the- increased traffic that is anticipated ftom the proposed Special Use and these impacts have not been
adequately addressed. A study assessing thJ inireased iraffic and the associated impacts should be
provided. Section 5.03(2) appears to supportthis. :
. After review of the letter dated July 14, 2004 submitted by the Colorailo Geologic Survey concerning
the SUP review for the site, an engineered stormwater management plan, drainage plan, erosion
control plan, and a site specific soils study should be performed for each biilding site.
. The preparation of the above engineered plans would also provide a better means for estimating the
costs for a reasonable securitSz for site rehabilitation as mentioned in Sections 5.03.07(2)(4) and
Sections 5.03.07(2XB). Otherwise, for erosion control and revegetation of the SUP site an estimate
of $2,500 per site for 9 sites, $22,500 could be used for site rehabilitation,
Feel free to call if any of the above needs clarification or if you have any questions or comments.

Dear Jim:
As you are aware at its hearing of August 4,Z}O on the above entitled
applicatior,, th" Board of County Commissioners continued its consideration of the
ru*" for the filing by Applicant of additional information clarifying the nature and
extent of uses. Additio;a[y, Carolyn Dalgren and yourself have raised a number of
concerns regard.ing the staius of the ownership/title of the subject property. The
following is submitted in lesPonse to both of the above concerns.
L. Number of Sites Requested:
As presently constituted the application identifies nine (9) potential building sites.
As explained at hearing, Applicant his immediate plans for the development of only
two 1Zy potential sites-those identified as Sites 2 and 3. The additional seven (7) sites
were identified as a product of Applicant's misunderstanding that all potential sites
within the subject pioperty r.rrrcib" identified at this time. Defining at this time, the
nature and type of ,rur that market demand will gravitate toward these sites is quite
simply, an impossible task. It is a certainty that the uses requested in this application
willnot be broad enough to incorporate all such future demands.
In accordance with the above Applicant would naffow its present request to the
uses hereinbelow set forth as being applicable to Sites 2 and 3, solely' All
representations contained within the application to the seven (7) sites, excluding Sites 2

and 3, would be limited for purposes herein to the matmum number of sites that could
possibly be developed for the subject property. As such, prior to the issuance to any
building permit for any site other than Sites 2 or 3, it would be incumbent upon the
Applicant to first obtain from the County all required Special Use Permit Amendment
approvals necessary to accommodate each such individual use. Applicant understands
and agrees that under the present code this would entail public hearings before both the
Planning and Zoning Commissionl and the Board of County Commissioners. Applicant
is amenable to having such additional processing requirements specifically incorporated
as a condition in the present appioval.
2. Regarding the Specific Operational Requirements:
Presently denominated "buildings for operations of gas development related
companies", Applicant would add the following specifications to the requested uses:
General Description of Use Contemplated-the storage and housing of oil and gas
drilling equipment for on-site delivery together with associated office facilities. nU siia
equipment will be provided to the individual drilling operators as applicable pursuant
to lease or sale order; provided however, no such sales or pick-ups shall be allowed at
the facility site. These uses will entail the following:
' The equipment needed to be stored and warehoused on-site will
include such things as shakers, degassers, center fuses, hoses, pipe, valves,
fittings, motor housings, and other parts specific to standard oil and gas drilling
rigs. A more exhaustive list of its equipment is set forth in ]immy Sills draft
correspondence to you attached herewith as Exhibit A.
' There shall be no on-site storage of diesel, gasoline or other
hazardous substances other than those used in small solvent bays incident to the
cleaning of equipment. These bays shall be stored inside the facility buildings
and all solvents used therein disposed of off-site by duly licensed contractors.
' Each site could be staffed with up to four (4) persons constituting
office staff and up to 12 additional persons constituting the shop and service
technicians. A traffic study prepared by High Country Engineering analyzing
these impacts on a per building basis relative to the County Road 319 corridor is
provided herewith as Exhibit B.
' But for the minor cleaning of equipment above-referenced, there
llf referred to Planning and Zoningby the BOCC.

c. Warranty Deed from RobertT.Lazier to Dalbo,Inc. recorded in the records of
the Clerk and Recorder for Garfield County Colorado on May 30,2003 in Book 1'473 at
Page 53. This Warranty Deed conveys out of the original 160 acres titled in Robert T.

the subject of the prior Special Use Permit Approval issued by the Board of County
Cornmissioners under Resolution #2003-48.
d. Special Warranty Deed from Robert T. Lazier to ]immy M. Sills recorded in the
records of the Clerk and Recorder for Garfield County Colorado on August 5, 2003 in
Book 1501 at Page 854. This Special Warranty Deed conveys out of the remaining 130
acres approxim ately 47 acres-which parcel was added into what is now known as the
Mamm Creek Commons property.
e. Mortgage Deed from Jimmy Sills to Robert T. Lazier recorded in the records of
the Clerk and Recorder for Garfield County Colorado on August 5,2003 in Book 1501 at
Page 856. This Mortgage Deed addresses the property conveyed pursuant to subsection
d above, is irrelevant to the present analysis. I have no idea why this was included in
the original application.
^S,I
The above-described conveyances leave approximately Wacres titled in Robert T.
Lazier out of which the 41..95 acres-constituting the subject property-has been taken.
That the 41,.95 acres constituting the subject property is presently titled in the namegf
Robert T.Lazier is confirmed under the Commonwealth Title Commitment 'L^b.et .n
(commitm ent #0407054) provided herewith as Exhibit C. The remaining +t*{icr"s (831?
acres - 4L.95 acres) will be transferred to the 319 Water Company-a Colorado limited
liability company-to avoid the application of the presently sought after Special Use
Permit Approvai Conditions to this final remainder parcel. Applicant would consent to
the incorporation of this required transfer as a condition of permit approval.

feel free to contact me at yotlr convenience.

3. Propertyfiitle Status of Robert T.Lazier:
Relative to the status of Title to the subject property my comments are made in
reference to the Deeds contained within Tab 3 of the Application, to wit:
a Warranty Deed from Sills-Lazier Partnership to Robert T. Lazier recorded in the
records of the Clerk and Recorder for Garfield County Colorado on April 30,1992,in
Book 830 at Page 396. Constituting the vesting deed, this document conveys to Robert
T . Lazier approximately 160 acres (S % of SE 1./4 of Section 23; N % of NE l/4 of Section
26) of which the subject property is contained.
b. Quitclaim Deed from Sills-Lazier Partnership and Robert T.Lazier and Jimmy
M. Sills, individually and as general partners of the Sills-Lazier Partnership, to Robert T.
Lazier. This deed ostensibly coveys the same property as that described in subsection a.
above to Robert T.Lazier. It is my understanding that this Quitclaim Deed was filed to
convey any potential residual ownership interest held by the individual partners of the
Lazier-Sills partnership. Given that title to this property was originally invested in the
Lazier-Sills partnership under that Warranty Deed recorded in the records of the Clerk
and Recorder for Garfield County Colorado at Book 585 and Page 55, this Quitclaim

SPECIAL USE PERMIT
TRAFFIC STUDY
INTRODUCTION
This traffic study for the Lazie.r Special Use Permit associated with a proposed
Commercial Development located near Rifle, in Garfield County, Colorado. The
proposed development is located along County Road 319 near Grass Mesa Road. Please
reference Figure i for the vicinity map.
EXISTING AND PROPOSED LAND USES AND SITE ACCESS
The site is currently vacant and is not being used. The developer is proposing 9
commercial buildings, with 2 of the buildings to be constructed in Phase I. These
buildings access directly to County Road 319. Figure 2 shows the proposed site plan.
SURROUNDING LAND USE
The property west of this site consists of a proposedCluster Housing Development.
Adjacent to the site farther up Grass Mesa Road is another residential development
consisting of 72 lots, currently with 68 residences.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
The overall directional distribution of the site-generated traffic was based on the existing
travel pattems in the area and in consideration of trip attractions and productions in this
area. Another factor considered in the traffic distribution is that County Road 319
coru:ecting the site to Airporl Road was under construction and one-way traffic only was
allowed. Traffic distribution was based on a one-day traffic count taken at the
intersection of Grass Mesa Road and County Road 319 on July 22,2004. The reason for
the one-day traffic count was to determine a peak hour volume to compare to the
proposed generated volume. It was determined from the traffic count that the AM peak
hour occurred from 7:15 to 8:15 having a total of 134 trips pass throughthe intersection.
The PM Peak hour occurred between 4:15 and 5:15 with 113 trips passing through the
intersection. The vast majority of the existing traffic is on County Road 319 with 86% of
the AM Peak passing through the intersection and staying on County Road 319 arrdT3Yo
of the PM Peak in this category. The remaining traffic is either tuming onto or offof
Grass Mesa Road. This information is tabulated in Appendix A.
TRIP GENERATION
Trip generation was estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Trip
Generation Manual. 5'n Edition. The proposed buildings wiil be used for general light
industrial. Each building wiil include approximately 1500sf of office space employing 3-
4 fuIl-time employees, and approximately 7500sf of shop or warehouse space employing
r_1
7-8 delivery employees. The Trip Generation Manual projects that the Average Daily
Traffic (ADT) for each building is 3,02 trips per employee. This indicates that the total
trips for each building wouid be 37 trips per day and Phase I (2 buildings) would produce
a total of 74 trips per day. A trip is defined as a one-way vehicle movement from the
origin to destination. The origin or destination of a generated trip would be the general
site, not specific to the site access point.
For the purpose of this study, we determined the trip distribution using the peak hour
traffrc volumes from the ITE manual and traffic counts collected at the site. Table 1
shows the peak hour trip generation for this development. The data in Table t has been
grouped into traffic generation traveling to or from the proposed buildings.

The total existing traffic volume through the intersection of CR3 19 and Grand Mesa
Road during the AM Peak is 134 trips. The anticipated traffic increase produced by
Phase I is i2 trips. This increase to CR319 is approximateiy 9Yo. The PM Peak has a
existing total volume of 113 trips with the anticipated increase of 12 trips. This increase
is 11%,
i.t\rl
CONCLUSION
The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is the focus of this study. The irnpact to County Road
319, based off of the information above, is 37 trips per day for each building. Phase I,
consisting of 2 buildings would have an impact of 74 hips per day. This is consistent
with developments of this nature. The increase in traffic is minor in relation to the
existing traffic.
