Traveler's Highlands lot and wish to relocate to their business to their property located on
County Road 301, east of Parachute. The parcel is approximately 38 acres in size, zoned
Rural, and is vacant. The Applicants plan to build a contractor's yard in approximately in the
center of the site to take advantage of the natural screening provide by trees and other
vegetation on the property. The contractor's yard is to be 3-5 acres in size and consist of an
office, repair shop, and storage area. No cleaning of equipment is proposed on-site. It is
possible that a fuel tank and flammable materials (paint) maybe stored on the property. The
Applicants indicated that there are several other contractor yards in the vicinity and proposing
this land use on his property would not be out of character for the area.
Potable water would be provided by a well on-site and an ISDS system installed to
accommodate the wastewater. The Applicant's representative is to further investigate if the
exempt well permit needs to be amended.
The Rural Zoning District allows contractor yards and would be reviewed under the Major
Impact Review Permit process.

502 (D) and Impact Analysis (Section 4-502 (E) of the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as

water and/or sewage disposal) and which may not apply and request the Director to waiver
those submittal requirements (ditches, etc.). Sections 7-810 and 7-821 will also need to be
