NARRATIVE FOR
APPLICATION TO ISSUE A SPECIAL USE PERMIT
BRIAN AND TAANI RUST
Applicants own 8.49 acres of residential property located at 335 Village Drive, Rifle Colorado.
Currently pending before the Board of County Commissioners is an application to rezone the
property from R/L/UD to the lower -density zone designation of A/R/RD. Contingent upon approval
of the rezoning, Applicants seek to obtain a special use permit for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU)
on the Property. An ADU is an approved special use under the A/R/RD zoning. The property is
neither subject to a homeowner' s association nor restrictive covenants related to ADUs.
Applicants intend to lease the ADU to Taani's parents as a full-time residence. The ADU will be
less than 1,500 square feet in size and contain 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. No other structures are
planned. Applicants agree to have the ADU constructed to Garfield County Building Code
Requirements.
The ADU, like the principal residence, will be located in a delineated floodplain. A report by
Colorado River Engineering, Inc. demonstrates that the ADU can be protected from flooding using
the recommendations in the report. Specifically, the report recommends that the finished floor
be constructed 2- feet above the existing ground. If so constructed, the report indicates that the ADU
will not alter any water levels and water courses thereby causing no endangerment to public or
private properties. No additional state or federal permits are required for construction of the ADU.
Applicants agree to have the ADU constructed in accordance with the recommendations of Colorado
River Engineering., Inc.
The proposed location for the ADU is 60 feet north of Village Drive and 48 feet west of the existing
driveway to Applicants' principal residence. Access to the ADU will be via a separate driveway
from Village Drive. Accordingly, the traffic from the ADU should not create any adverse impact on
Village Drive. Garfield County has indicated that a driveway permit can be issued for the ADU.
Vehicle traffic created by the ADU is estimated to be approximately 4 ADTs, which is consistent
with Uniform Traffic Code's standards for a single-family residence.
The ADU will be provided with electric service from X -cel, which already provides service to the
principal residence. Domestic water and sewer service will be provided by the City of Rifle. A letter
dated July 6, 2005 from the City of Rifle confirms that water and sewer service is available for the
ADU. Because the neighborhood is residential in character and is significantly more dense than that
created by the proposed ADU, no adverse impacts which require screening would be created.

Re: Rifle Village South Water and Sewer
Dear Taani Rust:
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANN I NG@RIFLECO.ORG
970.625.6224 (PHONE)
970.625.6268 (FAX)
This letter is being written in response to a request for a letter of commitment for water and
sewer service to serve an accessory dwelling unit at 335 Village Drive.
A March 10, 1988 "Agreement and Plan for Dissolution" between the City of Rifle and the
Rifle Village South Metropolitan District states that water and sewer service can be provided to new
users, or expanded for existing users, provided that the property owner has signed a pre -annexation
agreement requiring an annexation petition with the City once the property becomes eligible for
annexation.
City of Rifle records show that a pre -annexation agreement was executed by Brian & Taani
Rust for 335 Village Drive on February 11, 2002.
Therefore, water and sewer services will be available for the proposed expansion. Water and
sewer system improvement fees (tap fees), water meter fees, etc will still be required in association
with the expansion.
Please let me know if there are any questions about the information contained in this letter.
Sincerely,
City of Rifle Planning and Development

RE: Special Use Permit Floodplain Review — Rust ADU, Rifle Village South Subdivision
Dear Ms. Clifton:
This letter has been prepared to summarize floodplain investigations associated with the proposed
construction of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) by Brian and Taani Rust on Parcel B of the Rifle Village
South Filing No.1, Garfield County (335 Village Drive). This portion of the county is located within a
delineated floodplain area and requires a Special Use Permit in accordance with Section 6 of the Garfield
County Zoning Resolution. The purpose of county floodplain regulations is to permit only such uses that
will not endanger life, health, public safety, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood
conditions. Our review of the site and available floodplain has indicated that the ADU can be protected from
flooding and will not alter any water levels and watercourses and thereby causing no endangerment to public
or private properties.
We have attached our previous floodplain analysis, dated September 26, 2001, completed for the
main residence. The proposed ADU is to be located approximately 48 -feet west of the existing driveway and
approximately 60 -feet north of Village Drive. A site inspection has indicated that the proposed building site
has an extremely low risk of being exposed to concentrated overland flows. The conclusions reached in our
analysis for the main home are applicable to the proposed ADU. As long as the homes finished floor is
constructed 2 -feet above the existing ground the floodplain regulations will be met, the house will be
protected, and there will not be an alteration of water course or water levels to other properties.
The foundation has not been staked at the property. We recommend that the existing ground
elevations be surveyed by a professional land surveyor once the foundation has been staked. The finished
floor elation should be surveyed after construction to allow enable certification of the floodplain elevation.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call 625-4933.
Sincerely,
Christopher Manera,

RE: Special Use Permit Floodplain Review — Rust Parcel, Rifle Village South Subdivision
Dear Ms. Lyon:
This letter report has been prepared to summarize floodplain investigations associated with the
proposed construction of a home on Parcel B of the Rifle Village South Filing No.1, Garfield County. This
portion of the county is located within a delineated floodplain area and requires a Special Use Permit in
accordance with Section 6 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution. The purpose of county floodplain
regulations is to permit only such uses that will not endanger life, health, public safety, and to minimize
public and private losses due to flood conditions. Our review of the site and available floodplain has
indicated that the home can be protected from flooding and will not alter any water levels and watercourses
and thereby causing no endangerment to public or private properties.
Project Description
The subject property is located in the Rifle Village South Filing No.1 and consists of an 8.499 acre
unimproved lot. The western property line is shared with the 6.487 unimproved Parcel A. Village Drive
provides access on the southern property boundary. Parcel -B remains in native conditions predominantly
covered by sagebrush. The property is sloped in a northwesterly direction with no defined drainage channels
or watercourses.
The Rifle Village South subdivision is situated on an elevated bench above the Colorado River valley floor
comprised of alluvial and colluvial deposits. Parcel B improvements will include the construction of a
driveway, home, and future barn/garage. The attached schematic Figure 1 shows the approximate location of
the proposed improvements. The actual location of the home site has been field staked and surveyed to
determine the existing ground elevation.

The Rifle Village South area was included in the January 3, 1986 Flood Insurance Study of Unincorporated
Garfield County produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The attached Figure No. 2,
Flood Insurance Rate Map (Panel 1353), identifies the site as located in Zone AO of the floodplain. This site
is not part of the Colorado River Floodplain and is classified as an alluvial fan floodplain area with a shallow
(1 -foot) flooding depth. The source of the floodwater is Helmer Gulch as shown on Panel 1353. Detailed
analysis of this area was not completed in the Flood Insurance Study. Alluvial fans do not have distinct
watercourses outside of the existing channel and the path of flooding is unpredictable and can not be
determined. The floodplain mapping conservatively assumes blanket coverage over the entire alluvial fan
including the Rifle Village South subdivision.
1
Site Development
A field inspection of the subject site and surrounding topography indicates that the risk of any shallow or
concentrated overland flooding under the 100 -year storm event is extremely low. The southeast corner of the
property could be subject to concentrated flows on to the property as directed by Village Drive. These flows
would not pose any risk to the proposed home location. The finished floor of the home should be
constructed above the existing ground elevation (no basements) to protect against the shallow flooding
floodplain. The construction of the home will not result in any alteration of watercourses and will not
increase the flood depths to downstream properties.
County Floodplain Regulations
Section 6.08.01 of the county floodplain regulations require that the county floodplain administrator review
the special use permit:
(1) To assure that all -necessary permits (state & federal) are obtained — This project does not
require any additional state or federal permits.
(2) To determine if building sites are reasonably safe from flooding, and in compliance wit the
applicable provisions — Colorado River engineering has determined the building site to be safe,
see section 6.09 for additional provisions.
(3) To determine if in Floodway — Not applicable, mapped by FEMA as Zone AO
(4) To notify government agencies of watercourse alterations — Not applicable, no watercourse
alteration.
(5) To assure watercourse alteration does not alter carrying capacity - Not applicable, no
watercourse alteration.
Section 6.09 of the floodplain regulation addresses special uses and standards for construction. A brief
summary of the regulations and their relation to the project has been prepared. A printout of the floodplain
regulations is attached.
6.09.01— Floodway — Not applicable, the subject property is not in an mappedjloodway
6.09.02 —Flood Fringe/Flood Prone Areas
(1) Prohibited uses
(A) Large fill placement risking debris carried downstream by floodwaters — Not applicable
(B) Storage and processing of buoyant or flammable materials —Not applicable
(C) Disposal of garbage and solid waste material — Not applicable •
(D) Any obstruction which would adversely affect the efficiency of or restrict the flow
capacity of a designated floodplain so as to cause foreseeable damage to others — The
proposed improvements will not effect the flow capacity of the floodplain or change the
existing flood risks to others.
(2) Permissible Uses. Special Use Permit are permitted in the Flood Fringe and Flood Prone
Areas
2
(3) Performance Standards must be met for development in the Flood Fringe and Flood Prone
Areas
(A) The lowest residential floor shall not be less than one (1) foot above the maximum
water surface elevation of the 100 -year flood. — The flood elevation at the site is 1 -foot
above the existing ground. The ground elevation was surveyed to be at elevation 5344.6
feet above MSL. The finished floor elevation shall be constructed at or above elevation
5346.6' (5344.6 + 1 'flood depth + 1 ' per regulation)
(B) New construction reasonably safe from flooding — The lot location, topography, and
sheet flow flood risk make the development of the lot reasonably safe from flooding.
(C) Commercial construction — Not applicable
(D) Development shall be reviewed by floodplain administrator to insure public utilities
are located and designed to minimize damage by the 100 -year flood — Not applicable
(E) New construction shall be designed to prevent flotation, collapse, and lateral
movement. Construction shall be resistant to flood damage. — Not applicable. (For
standard home construction theses issues are addressed by building code)
(F) New or replacement water supply systems — Not applicable, water and sewer will be
provided by the city of Rifle
(G) Zone "AO" areas subject to sheet flow shall have the lowest floor elevated above the
highest adjacent street grade or to or above the depth number shown on the flood
maps. — The depth on the flood maps is one (1) foot. It is our opinion that the finished floor
of the home could be safely protected from flooding if constructed 1 -foot above the existing
ground elevation as allowed by this section of the code. However, this section of the code is
in conflict with the above performance standard (A) that requires 2 -feet above the existing
ground for this application. Our hydrological assessment of intent of this standard (G) is
for sheet flow flood areas where Standard (A) is not applicable. Unfortunately, the
language in the county code does not discuss the difference between these standards. This
section of the county code is therefore not applicable since Standard (A) will always be
more restrictive.
(11) Modular Homes in Zones A — Not applicable
Concfusion
Parcel A is located in area AO of the FEMA floodplain mapping. This area is identified as shallow (1 -foot)
overland floodplain associated with an alluvial fan. The proposed development of Parcel A will not alter any
watercourses or raise any flood levels to adjacent property owners. No additional permits are required from
state or federal governmental agencies for the development. The home construction will be safe from
flooding if the lowest finished floor is constructed two (2) feet above the existing ground elevation as
required by performance standard 6.09.02(3)(A). The surveyed elevation of the existing ground at the home
site was measured to be at elevation 5344.6'. The lowest finished floor elevation should be constructed to at
least elevation 5346.6'.
