Project Description: Tne applicant proposes to convey .74 acre to Garfield County for the reconstruction of the Hardwick Bridge. Tne remaining 5 acres is to be divided into two (2) 2.5 acres parcels. The applicant proposes to have individual septic disposal systems and to serve each lot with an existing spring. Tne applicant also proposes to move the existing access point to the west. This access would be a common access drive for both ot the proposed parcels. • • III.MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS 1) The property is a narrow strip of land between the Roaring Fork River and County Road 154. A home site on the westerly most proposed parcel will require careful planning to accomodate utilities and a homesite. However, after a site review with the environmental health officer and the planning staff, it was determined that the proposed lot is buildable. 2) The easterly most proposed parcel is wide enough to accomodate a building site and utilities. 3) In 1979, the applicant received a set back variance from County Road 154. This setback variance was for a building site and was granted due to the extreme topography. It is foreseeable that by creating the proposed lots additional set back variances may be requested. The set back on the County road for the A/I Zone District is 25 feet from the lot line or 50 feet from the street centerline. 4) The supplemental regulations in the Garfield County zoning regulations, Section 5.05.02, state that a set back of 30 feet measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the high water mark on ech side of a live stream shall be protected as greenbelt. 5) Floodplain information provided to the County Road Supervisor by the engineering trim working on the Hardwick Bridge notes that the normal water level at tne bridge site is 5,885 teet in elevation and tne 100 year flood plain elevation is approximately 5,895 feet. More specific information on floodplain elevations at the applicants property can be provided wnen the Garfield County floodplain study in finalized. 6) The applicant has an absolute decree for .077 cuoic foot of water per second for irrigation, commerical, industrial and livestock water and a conditional decree for .033 cubic toot of water per second of time for domestic use. Tne Division of Water Resources has been requested to review the proposal, however, there has been no response to date. IV. FINDINGS 1) That the hearing 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 hearing. 2) That the proposal will enable the County to aquire .74 acres ot land for use of reconstruction ot the Hardwick Bridge. 3) That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed zoning is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County.
