HomeMy WebLinkAbout3.0 Correspondenceo o (/ ADDENDUM w,l Cro/ 0 TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Planning Department RE: Donelan Subdivision Exemption DATE: July 22,1996 The Board continued the Donelan petition for an exemption from the definition of subdivision because, to a large degree, the Donelan request would probably not be possible without the approval of the English request. This is solely due to the access to the lot proposed by Donelan being across the English property. Essentially, without the approval of the English request, there would be no access to the Donelan lot and, therefore, may not be approved because legal access had not been demonstrated. Based upon staff review of the submitted information, the access issue is the only issue that would preclude a recommendation of approval. Staffrecommends approval of the request, if legal access to the parcel is demonstrated and easements concerning this access are developed, pursuant to the conditions listed in the staffreport. oo BOCC 2112196 8ls196 PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF CONTMENTS REOUEST:An exemption from the definition of subdivision. APPLTCANTS:Charles & Penny Donelan LOCATION:A tract of land located within Section 2' T65, R89W of the 6th P.M.; approximately two (2) miles east of Glenwood Springs in No Name' SITE DATA:2 07 Acres WATER/SEWER:Central water/ISDS ACCESS:Access to No Name Lane (CR 129) vra easements EXISTING ZONING:zuG/SD ADJACENT ZONING:North, East. West. R/G/SD South: O/S RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The properfy is located in an area that is not adequately addressed in the new Comprehensive plan, fbr Study Area I. Land Use Districts Maps, therefore. given the size of the lots and the sizes of the surrounding lots. the proposal is not out of character with adjacent land uses' il. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL I Site Description: The2.O7 acre property is located in No Name, on the south side of Interstate iO, ud.ju..nt to property owned by the Englishs, who have also petitioned for exemption. The property slopes gently toward the Colorado fuver and a number of larse stones are Scattered throughout the property. See vicinity map, page 6" A e t- B o o Adjacent Land Uses: The surrounding area is primarily residential with lots varying from 0.25 to I acre in size. Rock Gardens, a characteristically dense mobile home and single family home development is located in the vicinity, east of the applicant's property, and the CasaDelMonte subdivision is located west of the subject property. The Bureau of Land Management owns land south of the subject property. C Proposal: The applicant proposes to divide, by exemption, the 2.07 acte tract into rwo (2) parcels of approximately 1.0 acre each. The applicant currently resides in the existing home and would like to create the new lot, to either relocate his residence or sell it as a single family homesite. See sketch map, page -f MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. Subdivision Regulations: Section 8.52 of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations states lhat "No more than a total of four (1) lots, parcels, intere:sts or dwetling units will be createdfrom ony parcel, as thot parcel was descrihed in the records of the Garfield C.ounty Clerk and Recorder's (ffice on Janttary l, 1973, and is not a part of a recorded wbdivision; howet,er, any parcel to be dit'ided by exemption that is split by o ptblic right-of-way (State or Federal higlway, County road or railroad) or nahrral.feahre, preventing joirtt u.se of the proposed tracls, and the tlit,isiorr ocutrs along the pthlic right-o.f-way or naturolfeature, such parcels thereby created may, in the discretion o/'the Boqrd, not be considered lo huve heen createLl hy exemptionwith regartl to thefour Q) lot, pcr:'cc!, interest or dwelling unit li mitatiotr otherwi.se appl icab le ; " Deeds submitted with the application demonstrate the subject tract existing as of January. 1965. See deeds, page g- I Therefbre, it appears this request complies with the provisions of S..6n f3-Z 1n) of the Subdivision Regulations. B. Zoning. The property exists within the R/G/SD zone district which designates a minimum lot size of 20.000 square feet. AII proposed lots are larger than this minimum requirement. According to Section -5.04 03 of the County Zoning Resolution. if water will be supplied from a central system (as in this case) the minimum lot size requirement for the use of ISDS is one (1) acre. It appears that both lots, as proposed, conform to this Zoning requirement. C. Water. The applicant specifies the purchase of additional shares of water from the No Name Creek Water fusociation OTNCWA) as the water supply for this proposal. An attached letter (page I D I indicates that the water association has water available and will supply the required water. It appears that two (2) additional shares are necessary, one share for a domestic water supply, the other for an irrigation water supply. Apparently, NNCWA has a water right of 2.08 cfs, the equivalent of,933 GPM m. .Z - D o o Sewer: The applicant proposes the use of individual sewage disposal systems for the lots to be created. Soils on-site, according to the Soil Conservation Service, are of the Ascalon-Pena complex, generally deep and well-drained. Building site development and use of ISDS on these soils carry moderate to severe ratings, generally due to the presence of large stones. Staff recommends a plat note be included to address these potential limitations. E.Access: Access to the southern lot is proposed to be via an easement across a neighboring @nglish) property. The applicant is currently working with the Englishs in an effort to secure this easement. Assuming the outcome to the English application is favorable to the Englishs (the approval of three lots), an easement will be granted between lots B and C to the southern Donelan lot (see sketch map. page -J-t--)This appears to meet the criteria of Section 8:52 (C), to wit: "A.ll lots creatbd will have legal access to a public right-of-way and any necessary access easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained." What is not clear is the possibility that the English request may be approved for two (2) lots, which would bring the access to the Donelan exemption into question. The sketch map shows that enough room exists for an access along the western portion of the Donelan property; however, staffdoes not know the feasibility of this becoming the access to the lot to be created. F. Fire Protection: The Glenwood Springs RuralFire Protection District has commented on this subdivision, stating this property is within their service district and emergency response will continue. The District further comneq.ts that this request would work well with the English request. See letter, pug" I L . Staff suggests a plat note be included to address wildfire mitigation. G. School Impact Fees: The applicant will be required to pay $200 in school impact fees for the exemption lot. H. Easements: AII required easements (drainage. access, utilities. etc.) will be required to be shown on the exemption Plat. I. PotentialRoad Impact Fees: Upon adoption of a road impact fee by the County, the lots created by this exemption will be subject to paying that fee: paid at time of building permit application, paid by the building permit applicant. This provision shall be included as a plat note. J. Comments Received: Staff has received comments from an affected neighbor who indicates a desire that the surrounding neighborhood remain as it is. See letter, page4L -3- IV o o SUGGESTED FINDINGS l. That proper posting and public notice was provided as required for the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners. Z. That the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at that meeting. 3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed exemption is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order. prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield CountY. V. RECOMMENDATION Staffrecommends APPROVAL of this application, subject to the following conditions 1 That all representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated at the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions of approval. A Final Exemption Plat shall be submitted, indicating the legal description of the property, dimension and area of the proposed lots, access to a public right-of-way, and any proposed easements for setbacks, drainage. irrigation, access or utilities. That the applicant shall have I20 days to present a plat to the Commissioners for signature, from the date of approval of the exemption. Extensions of up to one (1) yearfrom the original date of approval may be granted by the Board if requested by the applicant prior to the expiration of the original 120 days. That the applicant shall submit 5200.00 in School Impact Fees for the creation of the exemption parcel. That the applicant apply for and receive the necessary "shares" of water from the No Name Creek Water Association and provide for the infrastructure necessary to provide sufficient water to the exemption parcel. This shall be done prior to the authorization of an exemption plat. That the following plat notes be included. "Soil conditions on the site may require engineered septic systems and building foundations. Site specific percolation tests at the time of building permit submittal shall determine specific ISDS needs on the site." 2 J 4 5 6 -,1- oo $ f g "The minimum defensible space distance shall be 30 feet on level terrain, plus appropriate modification to recognize the increased rate of fire spread at sloped sites. The methodology described in "Determining Safety Zone Dimensions, Wildfire Safety Guidelines for Rural Homeowners," (Colorado State Forest Service) shall be used to determine defensible space requirements for the required defensible space within building envelopes in areas exceeding five (5) percent grade." "fJpon adoption of road impact fees by the Board of County Commissioners, the lots created by this exemption shall be subject to paying the fees, paid at time of building permit application, paid by the building permit applicant." \\th. control of noxious weeds shall be the responsibility of the landowner.// That all lots created by this exemption shall be a minimum of one (1.0) acre in size. If access is across the English property, the applicant shall secure an access easement across the English property, which shall be recorded with the exemption plat. 61/l) 5- l1\ u C\ '9No. cotil r l'{o -t \, i1 lb N{. iN\^\ N\ 6 fr\ n fr \ Il sal{6 /// =Sbt fi &\oN T ,' 074 Ac.
