BOX 2687 GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO 81501 (303) 242-8463 August 23, 1979 Ms. Stephanie Andreasen Assistant Planner Garfield County Planning Dept. 2014 Blake Avenue Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 SUBJECT: Special Use Permit - Rifle Dear Ms. Andreasen: AUG 2 G4 t tti 1979 In response to your letter of August 20, 1979, I would like to air the use of the "Hoffineister property" as a parking facility for employees of the C -b Project. The plat plan in your hands represents the maximum utiliza- tion of the first phase of our parking lot development. It does not rep- resent the number of cars that use the lot at the present time. We do not foresee this number of cars using the lot before mid -1980. The employees working at the tract do so on a three shift per day, seven days a week, schedule so that no more than approximately 50% of the Project staff would be using the parking lot at one time. In addition, there is a two hour time difference from the time one shift enters the parking lot to the time another shift leaves the parking lot. There are two possible accesses into the lot; from the south, 16th Street borders the property and to the north, with the construction of a "drive- way" on the Howard Avenue right-of-way, 20th Street. To lessen the impact of traffic on 16th Street, we are going to develop the Howard Avenue right- of-way from the parking lot to 20th Street. With Mr. Merkel's approval, we will construct a thirty foot wide access between the parking lot and 20th Street. This access will provide for two way traffic and connects to the Rifle bypass (20th Street). This will put the traffic flow off the local, residential arterial of 16th Street and onto the major arterial of the Rifle bypass, construction of which is scheduled to being in late 1979. Based on a review of the State Highway 13 Rifle Bypass Plans, this appears to be the most beneficial access for all parties concerned to the parking lot. I reviewed these plans with the Rifle City Council at their meeting of August 15, 1979 and received their support for this project. I have instructed the agent for this land sale, Rifle Realty, to furnish Mr. Merkel, Planning Department Director, with all necessary information to initiate the annexation process into the City of Rifle. We hope to Ms. Stephanie Andreasen August 23, 1979 Page two have this process completed in a timely fashion. I will be in attendance at the public hearing scheduled for September 10, 1979 at 11:30 a.m. in Glenwood Springs to answer any questions that may arise. If you have need for further information prior to the hearing, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, OCCIDENTAL OIL SHALE, INC. h� K. C.

The spe- cific parcel in which he is interested is known as the "Hoffineister property" and is located between West 16th Street and the Public Service Company Addition,: • AS annexation will• not be completed for several months at best, Mr. Lindsay is negotiating to begin construction on his park- ing lot improvements while the land is in the county. However,: if annexed to the city, use of the land for a parking lot would still require a special review and public hearing as a conditional use under commercially zoned land. If you should have any questions,`feel free to call me. LDM/vr cc; Keith Lindsay 337 East Avenue P.O. Box 1908 Sincerely, Lee D.

Since the question was whether the county would ignore the state law prohibiting such activity, the Board felt they would have to enforce the state law and directed the County Attorney to respond to the letter to that effect, and circulate the information to other interested parties. John Wix presented the final plat for Panorama Ranch. Mr. Wix said he would like to phase the improvements, so that when Lots 1-31 are complete, he can sell those lots and then begin work on the remaining lots. This will require a two-phase subdivider's agreement. Mr. Velasquez moved that the matter be referred to the Planning Commission for review. Seconded by Mr. Jolley and carried unanimously. Mr. Baldwin presented a site application for extension of the Grand Valley water line. Since there is no longer a county sanitarian, it must be approved by the Board of Health. Therefore, Mr. Jolley moved that the Board of Commissioners convene as the Board of Health. Mr. Velasquez seconded the motion. Carried unanimous ly. Mr. Jolley moved that the Chairman of the Board of Health be authorized to sign the site application. Seconded by Mr. Velasquez and carried unanimously. Mr. Jolley then moved that the meeting of the Board of Health be adjourned. Seconded by Mr. Velasquez and carried unanimously. Mr. Jolley then moved that the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners be authorized to sign the site application. Seconded by Mr. Velasquez and carried unanimously. A public hearing was held on the final plat of Lion's Ridge Subdivision. Present was Ron Liston, planner for the developer, Allen Storey. Mr. Baldwin pointed out that both wells for the subdivision are off the propert and there has to be an easement for the wells and the water line. Mr. Liston said that would be taken care of. Mr. Velasquez moved that the final plat be referred to the Planning Commission. Seconded by Mr.Jolley and carried unanimously. A public hearing was held for a special use permit for a parking lot for Occidental Oil, located just north of Rifle. Present were Assistant County Planner Septhanie Andreasen, and Keith Lindsey and Don Blausman, both of Occidental Oil. Mr. Lindsey said they have applied for annexation into the City, but need this parking lot now to provide parking for employees who are bussed to the job site. The City has no problems with it but request a 60' easement for Hward Avenue. Ms. Andreasen said she had been concerned about additional traffic on and off Railroad Avenue, but the City planner felt that would be eased by the Highway 13 bypass. Mr. Jolley moved that the permit be granted for a period of one year. Seconded by Mr. Velasque and carried unanimously. Mr. Velasquez moved that the Chairman be authorized to sign the following subdivision ekemption resolutions. #79-102, Allen A. Bowles; 79-103, Andrew Julius; 79-104, William L. Weide and J.B.
