Re: 7W Guest Ranch, Garfield County, Colorado
Special Use Permit for Additional Improvements
HCE File# 94004.41
Dear Mr. Liston:
In accordance with your instructions, we have reviewed the information you provided to us,
which included Garfield County Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) permits, an aerial
topographic map, and utility locations provided by the ranch manager. This letter is
specifically regarding the use or expansion of the existing ISDS's for the above mentioned
project additions.
Per our conversation with the Colorado Department of Health, ISDS's in remote locations
are deemed to not fall under state jurisdiction if individual systems are at least 180 feet apart,
and are less than 2000 gallons per day in average flow. (Actually, 100 feet minimum plus 8
feet for each additional 100 gallons per day over 1000 gallons per day.) According to our
analysis, all of the existing leach fields are at least 180 feet apart, except the ones for the
existing trailers and lodge. However, the combination of flows for these two systems is less
than 2000 gallons per day average, therefore, they were considered a single system.
In addition, the above noted spacing applies to distances from wells and springs. All of the
ISDS's noted above are farther than 180 feet from the existing water sources for the
development.

The additional rooms and other improvements proposed will necessitate some modifications
to the existing ISDS 's. With the addition of a 2 bedroom cabin to the Southeast, an
additional 1000 gallon septic tank needs to be added on to that existing ISDS. The (2) 1
bedroom additions to the existing 1 bedroom cabins will also necessitate an additional 1250
gallon septic tank, in that system. The proposed employee residence will need an additional
1000 gallon tank before discharging into the existing leach field. The existing system for the
lodge is adequately sized. The locations of the ISDS modifications noted above are shown
on the enclosed plan. We have also included calculations to substantiate the proposed ISDS
modifications.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact us.
Sincerely,

The additional rooms and other improvements proposed will necessitate some modifications
to the existing ISDS 's. With the addition of a 2 bedroom cabin to the Southeast, an
additional 1000 gallon septic tank needs to be added on to that existing ISDS. The (2) 1
bedroom additions to the existing 1 bedroom cabins will also necessitate an additional 1250
gallon septic tank, in that system. The proposed employee residence will need an additional
1000 gallon tank before discharging into the existing leach field . The existing system for the
lodge is adequately sized. The locations of the ISDS modifications noted above are shown
on the enclosed plan. We have also included calculations to substantiate the proposed ISDS
modifications.

Re: 7W Guest Ranch
Via: US Mail and Facsimile: 384-3470
3412 County Road # 15 I, Gypsum, Colorado
Dear Mr. Bean:
I have spoken with you and. yo11r staff on several occasions concerning the above·
mentioned. file. I would like to clarify a fuw outstanding questions on issues that relate to
the 7W Guest Ranch.
as accurately as we can determine the7W Guest Ranch, located at 3412 County Road
11151, has been in operation since about 194 7. The cWTent owner purchased the 7W
Guest Ranch in 2002. The purchasers assumed tl1at all rolling matters were approved and
appropriate. The owner desires to continue to operate and improve the existing 7W Guest
Ranch Resort. Construction ofa new bam tbat led to a Notice of Violation from Garfield
County was the first step in that process.
I am representing the owner(s) and operators of the 7W Guest Rancb Resort in preparing
an application to amend tlle present Special Use Pennit and improve the existing guest
ranr:h. My goal as well as the owner's goal is to folly comply with tile Garfield County
regulations. However, tbere arl.' two points, on which I need. clarification. Would you
could please review and advise me of the correct approach to tbe following questions.
I, The first question involves the proper area for a legal description. lt is the
intent of the applicant to create abom 6, 35-acre parcels, in which case
one single fiunily home could be constructed on each parcel. The
remaining parcel would contain the 7W Guest Ranch fucilities.

2. The intent is to apply fur and obtaiJ\ a Special Use Permit for lhe resort on
a se,parate parcel, as opposed to the totaJ ownership area. The site plan
will clearly describe all structures, uses, parking areas, etc. on the ''permit
parcel". Also, 11 written. description of the resort operation will be
included. The 35-acre private parcels would 110! be a part of the Special
Use area.
A motorized dirt bike area is set aside for the private use of the parcel
owners and their families. It is in no way associated with the resort and in
fact would. be outside of the permit area. Guests of the 7W will not be
pennitted to utili7.e this personaJ area.
A portion of the individual parcels would be used fur hiking,
snowmobiling and horseback riding trails related to the resort while not
being an actmtl part of the resort operation. The landowners of the 35-acre
parcels would consent to permit this use.
As I understand the Special Use Permit process, it will pennit certain uses, as may be
specifically approved, in addition to those uses by right, aJiowcd by the underlying zone
district. Please let me know if this is indeed the fact. Our office would like to prepare
the application appropriately.
I thank you for providing answers to these questions at your earliest convenience. Our
firm is proceeding to assemble the required infurmation for this permit.

Subject: 7W Guest Ranch
Dear Mr. Knight:
In the interest of getting you a response more quickly than the mail, I will repond to your questions in this email.
-The 7W Guest Ranch was a non-conforming use until 1995, when by Resolution No. 95-045, the resort was
modified to accomodate additional guests and new cabins.
-At this time the resort Special Use Permit is applicable to the entire piece of property. To revise the permit
boundaries, ii will be necessary to go through the Special Use Permit process, as if it were a new application and
address all of the issues necessary for a permit application. In other words, we have no amendment process,
other than the full blown SUP process, which deals with it as if there are no existing uses.
-The risk to your client is more the cost of the application and the process. They would not lose the SUP as it
exists. Do not split the property into the multiple 35 acre tracts, until there is a final action on the revised
permit. This would be a violation of the present approval given to the resort as it exists today. A part of the
proposal should be to create the separate 35 acre tract for the new resort SUP. This would become a condition
of approval, if the application is approved. The legal notice for the SUP would be for the new 35.
If the new permit is approved, the remaining property can be divided into as many 35 + ac. tracts as your client
desires. If there is an intent to allow for resort activities on some portions of these tracts, it would be appropriate
to put deed restrictions on them to allow for the activity.
-If a SUP is approved, it is approved for the uses proposed as a part of the application and does not
necessarily allow for the SUP uses rpoposed and anything allowed as a Use by Right. The SUP defines and
limits the uses allowed on the property to those approved as a part of the permit. In other words, if a single
family dwelling was not proposed as a part of the SUP application and approval, a property owner could not build
a single family dwelling on the same property just because it is a Use by Right in the zone district. The SUP
holder would have to amend the SUP permit to allow for the additional dwelling.
I hope this answers your questions, but if not, feel free to write or email me additional questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Mark Bean, Director
