comments were received from Mountain cross Engineering (Exhibit 3), which indicatedthat (1) The Applicant needs to provide a copy of tlie new well permit, once issued, thatallows the proposed veierinary clinic, and (2)-the Applicant should piovide a full test ofthe Primary Drinking Water Standards of the water quality for the well. ln addition, theapplication does not contain a water quality analysis that satisfies Section 4-203(MXl XnXsXc) of the LUDC.
The application was referred to the Division of Water Resources who noted the followingregarding the well permit (Exhibit g):
The applicant indicated that the water supply to both the existing car repairfacility and the proposed veterinary clinic wilt be provided Oy ine existingwell. As the current permit is limited to one 4,000 square foot office/repairshop building and an annual appropriation of 0.4 acieioot, the proposal tosupply the veterinary clinic - which the appticant estimates would require0.563 acre-foot - would be an expansion'of use and would require a newwell permit. The applicant did indicate in the submitted materials that theyare aware of this and would obtain a new permit to allow for the well to alsoserue the new proposed use. Therefore, as long as the applicant obtains awell permit for the expanded use, this office *o-utd not haive an objection touse of the existing well to serue both facitities. Please note, since theproperty is located in the Colorado River Basin which is over-appropriated,a new well permit would have to operate pursuant to an approieA'phn foraugmentation. The applicant has also indicated that they are in the processof obtaining a contract with the Basatt Water Conseruaniy oirtri"t fo,augmentation water for the expanded uses for the veterinury
"tiri".
ln addition, Kent Kuster.of CDPHE (Exhibit 5) has indicated that not enough informationwas provided to determine whether the facility, in combination with the car repair facility,will.need to satisfy the requirements of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulationsor the Colorado Water euality Control Act.
Regarding connection to the RFWSD water system, Louis Meyer of SGM, lnc. whorepresents RFWSD, noted the following:
l5
Water and Sewer lines are being proposed to be extended from the current
District infrastructure to the new Eastbank Schoot site. These lines areproposed to be installed adjacent to these two referenced properiies. TheRFWSD has asked that the RE-l Schoot District and the adjoining
properiies master plan the proposed utilities in this area so that tie toig
term utilities are master planned complete with water distribution and sewer
collection lines. The RFWSD prefers that individual connections not be
made to water transmission or sewage force mains or interceptor sewers.
For that reason the District is awaiting a master plan before m'aking further
commitments to serue these parcels.
Staff suggests the following conditions of approvalto address the aforementioned issues:
1.The Applicant shall provide a copy of the new well permit and Basalt WaterConseruancy District augmentation contract that allows the use for a veterinaryclinic, to be reviewed by the County Designated Engineer and CommunityDevelopment Department prior to issuance of the Land UIe Change permit.
The Applicant shall provide a copy of the executed well sharing agreement, to bereviewed by the county Attorney's office and commu-nity Development
Department prior to issuance of the Land Use change permit.
The Applicant shall provide a water quality test that meets the standards in Section4-203(MXtXbXSXc) of the LUDC, reviewed by the County Designated Engineerprior to issuance of the Land Use Change permit.
The Applicant shall provide documentation as to whether the combined veterinary
clinic and vehicle repair facility will need to meet the requirements of the ColoradoPrimary Drinking Water Regulations (water) and/or the Colorado Water eualityControl Act (wastewater). The submittal shall be reviewed and accepted by theCounty Designated Engineer prior to issuance of the Land Use Chang'e permit.
Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems
2.
3.
4.
5.
The Applicant has stated the following regarding wastewater for the site:
The Code re.lui9s thgt "every effort shatt be made to secure a pubtic sewer
extension." (7- 105). Public water and sewer are not yet available to the site,but we anticipate it will be forthcoming in the next 12 months. The RoaringFork Water & Sanitation District ("RFWSD") has initiated the proce.ss tobring potable water and sanitary sewer to the site to serue the new RE-l K-8 school to be constructed on a learby property and the surroundingproperties, including this one. Based on discussions with DistriCtrepresentatives, the District believes that water seruice will tikely beavailable by late-summer/early fatt of 2016 and sewer seruice wil tikely beavailable by mid-2017.
t6
The RFWSD's extension of these utitities will, of course, be dependent upon
County approval of its amended seruice plan, which seeks to inctude this
site and surrounding properties into the RFWSD's seruice area and
inclusion of the site within the RFWSD's taxing area. Connection to the
RFWSD's infrastructure will also be contingent upon permitting approvals
for the facilities, including a lift station south of the site, paymeni of iap feesby the Applicant to the RFWSD, and instaltation of the necessary
infrastructure to connect to the RFWSD's facilities pursuant to its rules and
regulations at the Applicant's cost. The Applicant understands that the
RFWSD planned infrastructure will have the capacity to serue 350 EQRs on
the site, which will be more than adequate for the proposed use.
Applicant proposes to install a temporary septic tank on the propefty to
serue the veterinary clinic, as well as the vehicte repair shop in the existing
building. Plans call for a temporary instatlation of an underground 1,500-
gallon single chamber Norwesco Bruiser septic tank. The sewer lines witt
be fitted and sized in anticipation of connecting to the RFWSD main line
when it becomes available. This temporary system wilt be pumped
regularly, likely once per month. Applicant wilt then connect to the RFWSD
line within three months of its construction, or as otherwise permitted or
required by RFWSD. lf, for some reason, RFWSD utilities are not avaitable
within the next 2 years, applicant wilt work with the County to construct a
conforming on-site wastewater system. This means the property will be
serued at all times by a water and wastewater distribution system that is
adequate to serue the proposed use.
The County has historically permitted vault and haul wastewater disposal systems for
temporary uses. The LUDC defines Temporary as "For a duration of 1 year or less". Such
t_emporary vault and haul wastewater disposal methods are permitted through the
county's onsite wastewater Disposal systems (owrs) regulations.
A vault and haul temporary wastewater system is not typically viewed favorably by the
County if the use it is serving is permanent. However, ai Staff is aware of the inieniions
of the RFWSD to serve the area for the new RE-1 school buildings, it is Staff's opinion
that such extensions are likely to occur in the near future and that ionnection to regional
systems such as RFWSD are preferable to individual wastewater systems in the long
term.
ln addition, comments from Mountain Cross Engineering state that "The Applicant
proposes to use a vault and pump scenario for up to 2 years to allow time for sanitary
sewer to be constructed in the area. lf the sanitary sewer takes longer than two years to
construct, the Applicant proposes to construct an OWTS. The AppliCant provides no soils
information for the proposed OWTS. Additionally the location that is proposed is a steep
hillside where construction may not be feasible.,'
tl
The vault and haul OWTS and permanent OWTS are to be shared by the car repair facilityand the veterinary clinic. Since the wastewater system is to be shared by two entities, asystem sharing agreement is necessary.
To this end, Staff recommends the following conditions of approval to address theseissues:
1. The Applicant shall provide soils characteristics and slope information for thewastewater absorption area to ensure compliance with County OWTS rules andregulations for the proposed permanent owTS system. This information shall bereviewed and accepted by the County Designated Engineer prior to issuance ofthe Land Use Change permit.
2' The Applicant shall provide a draft wastewater system sharing agreement prior toexecution to be reviewed and accepted by the bounty Attoriey:s Office prior toissuance of the Land Use Change permit. -
3. The Applicant shall obtain a County OWTS permit for both the vault and haulwastewater disposal system and the permanent owrs, as applicable.
4. Within one year from the date of issuance of the County OWTS permit for thevault and haul system, the system shall be removed and replaced with either: (1)connectiolto_a1d service provided by the Roaring Fork Water and SanitationDistrict (RFWSD), or (2) installation oi a permanent OWTS consistent with thesite plans and representations made within the application. Under nocircumstances shall the vault and haul OWTS system remain in place for morethan one year. No extensions for compliance wiin this condition shall be granted.
6. Section 7-106: Adequate public Utilities
Adequate public utilities currently exist at the subject parcel.
7. Section 7-107: Access and Driveways
The primary access point to county Road 154 tor the proposed uses is to be shared withthe FedEx. lacitlty located to the north. Lot 2 also'has a secondary access tocatedapproximately 400 feet to the southeast. Regarding access, the Applicani has representedthe following:
These two businesses will be accessed via the improved access off CountyRoad 154 recently constructed as part of the FedEx Ground Facil1y to thenofthwest occupying Lot 1 of the Eastbank Minor Subdivision. The accessis 30'wide and has been desiqned to accommodate WB-67D trucks (doubtebottom combinatioy.tlucks) -*itn , btat rengi of 7s.3 feet used by theFedEx operation. This access is sized pro-perly to accommodate horsetrailers that will utilize the access for the equ'ine hospital. The Lot 2 access
l8
onto the shared driveway with Lot 1 (FedEx Ground) is over 100 feet from
the intersection of County Road 154. This provides room for the proposed
Lot 2 traffic to straighten out prior to reaching the intersection of County
Road 154 and also provides room for stacking of at least one of the large
FedEx wB- 67D trucks so that the Lot 2 acceis is not btocked.
A secondary access will remain in place to the east of the proposed
buildings. This access will be eliminated once the access to a n"ew'public
schoolsife r's constructed, at which point a secondary access point to the
two proposed businesses will be provided from this future road. This roadwill eventually serue up to two pubtic schools and future residential
development. For the purposes of this traffic study, we will assume that this
secondary access will not handle any of the proposed trips generated by
the two businesses. 100% of the trips generated will access from the shared
driveway with FedEx Ground on Lot l.
Regarding traffic generation, the Applicant has indicated that current traffic generation
from the site is 330 ADT. The Applicant has estimated that the car repair flcility and
veterinary clinic will generate traffic as follows (application figures amended by Exhibit
1 1):
- Car Repair Facility: B0 ADT- Veterinary Clinic: 34 ADT- Total: 114 ADT
As a result, the application states that the combined uses will generate 65.5% less trafficthan the current uses on the propefty.
The application was referred to the Garfield County Road and Bridge Depaftment,
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Glenwooi Springs Fire
Depaftment. No comments were received from Road and Bridge or CDOT, howeier, the
Fire Department had the following comments regarding access to the property:
The present south entrance to the site from CR154 is to remain as an
emergency entrance. lf required it can be gated to restrict usage.
Referral comments from Mountain Cross Engineering also request an explanation as to
whether there is a benefit to closing off the second southeriy access now instead of
waiting untilthe school road access is created. However, since t-he Fire Depadment views
this second access as an emergency access, it is Staff's opinion that a second access is
optimal.
To this end, Staff recommends the following condition of approval to address the items
discussed above:
t9
20
- At the time the roadway to the school site across Lot 3 is constructed, the southerlyaccess for Lot 2 onto County Road 154 shall be closed and ielocated to connectto the school site access road.
8. Section 7-1Og: Natural Hazards
No natural hazards have been identified on the subject parcer.
9. Section 7-1Og: Fire protection
The impacted area..of the subject parcet has been identified as generally Not Rated forWildfire Susceptibility in ac"otdance with Map z of the Community Wildfire protectionPlan' The parcel is located within the Glenwooo spiings Fire Department service area.
The Application was referred to the.Glenwood Springs Fire Department (Exhibit 4), whohad the following comments regarding tire proteciioni
- The site water system shall b.e upgraded to provide adequate fire flow water andpressure to^su.ppolfirefighting operations. The apptiiint siatt meet with theGlenwood Springs Fire Department staff to determine the number of fire hydrantsto be installed on the site and there placement.- The application materials show tyb nyaranti are to be installed, however thelocations may need to be changed. elso tne water main to the hydrants is to comefrom the Roaring Fork water ind sanitation District, it is pqn iiin" water systemgoing to the to-be built RE-l, K-8 school, toine nofth of this site. Thus the RE-l
3i:"ri:",?:trict utitities engineer shatl atso be invotved in this water system
{lil" Mr' Biggers of the Glenwood springs Fire Depaftment is correct that the submittedutilities plan shows a future water tirie running io the RFWSD system, such arepresentation or timeframe has not been made iri ttre application. As a result, the fireprotection system will need to be designed in anticipation of the facility remaining on wellprovided water.
Based on the above information and comments, staff recommends the followingconditions of approval :
- The Applicant shall meet with th-e Glenwood springs Fire Department to come toan agreement on (1) necess ary fire flow water ino'pressrr" io .rpport firefightingoperations, and (2) the numberand location of hydrants on site.'The Applicantshall provide evidence of the consultation with the rire oepartment and writtendocumentatiorr of. the agreement regarding the aforementioned items to theCommunity Developmen-t Department ani county Designated Engineer forreview and acceptance prior to issuance of ft,e land Use cfiarge permit.

10. Section T-20l Agricultural Lands
Staff understands that the property is not currently being used for agricultural purposesand it is not anticipated that the proposed development would adversely affect
neighboring agricultural uses.
11. Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas
The proposed development is expected to have minimal impacts on wildlife. The site is
currently used for industrial purposes and the footprint of both the veterinary clinic andcar repair facility are already disturbed and graded areas of the site. As i result, no
significant impact to wildlife habitat is expected.
The application was referred to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, however, no comments were
received.
12. Section 7-203 Protection of Waterbodies
The proposed facility is not directly adjacent to any identified waterbodies. ln addition, the
disturbance area is greater than 35 feet from the Roaring Fork River. As a result, no
impact to waterbodies is anticipated.
13. Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion
The Applicant has provided a grading and drainage plan which has been reviewed by theCounty Designated Engineer. Below are the iollowing comments from the CountyDesignated Engineer:

17. Section 7-208 Reclamation
Minimal new disturbance is anticipated as a result of the proposed facilities that would not
be part of the longterm functioning of the site.
Article 7, Division 3, site Planning and Deveropment standards
18. Section 7-301 Compatible Design:
see section 3, above, regarding compatibility with adjacent uses.
The organization of the proposed uses appears logical with the vehicle intensive
automotive repair facility nearest to the public roadway and the veterinary clinic set back
into the subject parcel.
The Applicant has indicated that, in accordance with Section 7-301(B), "Dusf, odors, gas,
fumes, and glare shall not be emitted at levels that are ,easonably objectionaOi'e to
adigcgnj propefty." ln addition, "Noise shall not exceed State noise siandards pursuant
to C.R.S., Article 12 of Tifle 25..;'
The proposed hours of operation for the facility are 8AM to 6pM Monday through
Saturday, with emergency calls as necessary.
staff recommends conditions of approvar stating the following:
1. Dust, odors, gas, fumes, and glare shall not be emitted at levels that are
reasonably objectionable to adjacent p rope rty.2. Noise shall not exceed State noise standards pursuant to C.R.S., Article 12 of Title
25.
3. Hours of operation for the Veterinary Clinic are 8AM to 6PM Monday through
Saturday, with emergency calls as necessary.
19. section 7-302 off- street parking and Loading standards:
The Applicant has indicated the following regarding parking for the facility:
The Gartield County Land Use and Development Code has standards forparking requirements for "retail, seruice, or office" commercial uses of l
parking space per 250 SF of leasable floor area. This witt be used for the
typical office poftions of the building.
There is not a good reference for animal medical facitities in the Countycode. However, the city of Grenwood springs Municipat code has a
categonJ for "general seruice establishment not otherwise listed" which
provides requirement of 1 parking space per 450 square feet of floor area.
The office and reception portions of the proposed equine hospital account
for approximately 1,560 square feet of the buitding.
1,560 SF /250 = 6.24 spaces
The surgery area portion of the buitding accounts for 800 square feet.
800 SF/450 = t.7B spaces
The rest of the building is just in-doors hotding areas for animats which
would not generate any parking requirements.
This makes for a need for a minimum of 8 parking spaces of which I witt
need to be a handicap accessible space.
Based on this analysis, it is Staff's opinion that adequate vehicle and horse trailer parking
is proposed.
20. Sections 7-303 Landscaping Standards:
The Applicant has proposed a landscaping plan, excerpted below, for the proposed
veterinary clinic and car repair facility. The plan represents preserving the exisiing trees
and other vegetation along County Road 154 to help screen and buffer the uses vlsualryfrom public view. Based on the existing vegetation at the site, it is Staff's opinion that theproposed landscaping plan is adequate.

This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Eastbank Car Repair
Facility and the Eastbank Equine Hospital. The submittal was found to be thorough and well
organized. The following comments were generated:
1. The Application materials show a second access to the south that is to be shutdown when the
entrance for the school is constructed. The Applicant should explain if there is benefit to
traffic in closing it off now rather than waiting until later.
2. The Applicant should provide a copy of the new well permit, once issued, that allows the
proposed uses.
3. The Applicant proposes to use a vault and pump scenario for up to 2 years to allow time for
sanitary sewer to be constructed in the area. If the sanitary sewer takes longer than two years
to construct, the Applicant proposes to construct an OWTS. The Applicant provides no soils
information for the proposed OWTS. Additionally the location that is proposed is a steep
hillside where construction may not be feasible.
The Applicant shorrld nrovide a firll test of the

Dear Mr. Pesnichak,

For the vet ctinic GAPA-o5-16-8453: tn cotorado, [and devetopment construction activities (earth moving)that are greater than 25 acres or ror" than six'monltii, arration require an Air pottutant EmissionsNotice (APEN) from the Division ana may ue requireJio oltuin an air permit depending on estimated

Ptease refer to the website https://www.cotorado.qov/pacific/cdphe/air-permits for information on land
use APENs and permits forms. Ctick on Construction Permit and APEN forms, and then ctick on the "speciatty
APENs" to access the land devetopment specific APEN form.
For the Vehicte Repair GAPA-03-1 6-8454: Autobody shops in Colorado are subject to a variety of air, waste,
and water regutations and may be required to fite an Air Pottution Emission Notice or obtain a permit
depending on emissions. Ptease refer to the Smatt Business Assistance guidance document
(https://www.cotorado.eov/pacific/sites/default/fites/AP A-Guide-to-Environmentat-Requtations-for-
Automotive-Repair-Facitities-0.pdf) for additional information. Autobody shops are atso required to dispose
of any hazardous waste properly.
Comments from the Water Quatity Control Division are as fottows. The poputation water usage appears to be
partiatty defined for the site (auto repair shop and veterinary center). Based on the information provided,
the division does not have enough information to determine whether the facitities witt meet the definition
of a pubtic water system or generate 2,000 gattons per day or greater of wastewater. The facitity may or
may not need to satisfy the requirements of the Cotorado Primary Drinking Water Regutations or the
Cotorado Water Quatity Control Act.
"PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM" or "PWS" means a system for the provision to the pubtic of water for human
consumption through pipes or other constructed conveyances, if such system has at least fifteen service
connections or regularty serves an average of at least 25 individuats daity at least 60 days per year. A pubtic
water system is either a community water system or a non-community water system. Such term does not
include any special irrigation district. Such term includes: (a) Any cottection, treatment, storage, and
distribution facitities under control of the supptier of such system and used primarity in conneCtion with such
system. (b) Any cottection or pretreatment storage facitities not under such contro[, which are used
primarity in connection with such system.
(5) "Domestic wastewater treatment works" means a system or facitity for treating, neutralizing, stabilizing,
or disposing of domestic wastewater which system or facitity has a designed capacity to receive more than
two thousand galtons of domestic wastewater per day. The term "domestic wastewater treatment works"
also inctudes appurtenances to such system or facitity, such as outfatt sewers and pumping stations, and to
equipment retated to such appurtenances. The term "domestic wastewater treatment woiks" does not
inctude industriat wastewater treatment ptants or complexes whose primary function is the treatment of
industrial 2 wastes, notwithstanding the fact that human wastes generated incidentatty to the industrial
processes are treated therein.
The domestic wastewater treatment works definition inctudes vautts.
lf the system meets either of these definitions, the system must address additional requirements through
the division.
ln addition, we do suggest that the appticant compty with att state and federat environmental rules andregulations. This may require the appticant or its contractor to obtain a permit for certain regulatedactivities before you can emit or discharge a potlutant into the air or *ui"r, dispose of hazarjous waste orengage in certain regutated activities.

RE: Gould/Jammlron Commercial Prrk - Spccial Usc Permit Resolution 97-92
Prrcel # 2185-353-04-001
Dear Mr. Bealtie:
I would like to thank both you and Mr. Mark Gould for finding time in your schedutes ro
accommodate a meeting with County staffon October 31,2013, and discuss the opcrations at
4067 County Road t54, also referred to as the Eastbnnk LLC property. The purpoie of our
meeting lvas to determine if the current activities in fire area leased by Could Construction and
designated by the Special Use Permit (SUP), issued in 1997 to Joe Jammaron (property owner at
lhat time) and Mark Gould, were consistent with the conditions of Resolution iZ-iZ. fne
meeting highlighted that it is important to clariff that there are two types of uses presently
occurring on the prcperty: (l) those which were approved by Resolution; and (2) those which
are "legal non-conforming uses" not conducted pursuant to apermit.
Resolution No.97-92 approved a special use Permit "onlv for tbe stpmEe of
and noncqnformins uses eqreed to,in letten to Joe Jammaron dated November 2,1994, and
December l, 1994, from the Oarfield County Planning Deparbnenl. Any modification to the
Commercial Park designation will require the rnodification of the Special Use Permit though the
applicable prccess in existence at the time of any proposed modification." .See Resolutionit t 5
(emphasis added). The November 2, 1994 letter focuses sotety on the 'truck repair and
maintenancs facility,' and the allowance for outside storage of vehicla which the company is
rcpairing. The Decemhr l, 1994 letter states that "a maximum of thiry (30) vehicleJ stord
outside of the main building is a reasonablc limit." Neither these leners, nor the conditions in
Resolution No. 97-92 addresses the storage and processing of materials which have been the
subject of our conversations. Even if the intent was to include in the SUP an expansion of pre-
existing, non-conforming materials storage or proeessing, the plain language of the Resolution
daes not address thess uses and cannot be read to include uses not specitically enumerated.
Therefore, the SUP only pennits storage of heavy equipment on the southim 2.M asesof Parcel
2A (Plat record #813402) and a truck repair, maintenance facility with outside storage of a
maximum of 30 vehicles on approximately 3.9 acres on the remainder of Parcel 2A. Please refer
to the attached map.
Garfield County
This means that other lud uses presently occurring on the property must fall into the second
category of "legal non conforming uses" in order to be allowed to continue without violating thc
Land Use and Development Code. The information and historicat backgmund that you Loth
provided at that meeting wa.s v€ry useful in forming our opinion about Mr. Gould's cunent use
on the Eastbar* LLC property. Staff has concluded that the cunent storage and processing of
malerials are a continustion of past legal non-conforming mineral extraction uses. It is
important to document ths existing uses on the site because the provisiou of the currenlly
adopted L,and Use and Development Code (LLJDC) now disallow the enlargemen! expansion,
extension, or altention of a pre-existing non-conforming land usc.
The intent of this letter is tlueefold: (l) to memorialize lhe history of the uses on rhis property;
(2) to explain how revisions !o land use regulations over tirne have changed how a legal
nonconforming use may continue; and (3) to clearly idcntify those uses that will be allowed to
continue as legal nonconforming uses on lhe Gould Construction sile.
History of Uses ou the Erstbank LLC Property
During our meting Mr. Gould referred to the "proposed usC'and history of the site as oullined
in the Land Use Change application submitted for the SLJP in 199?. As stated in the application,
the proposcd use was ....'to extend a pre+xisting non-conforming use". Under the section
labeled lnduslrial Operations, there were various references to other indusrial uses on adacent
properties and to & company called Grand River, Paragraph B of Industrial Operatiow states
"... that adjaccnt land will be no more affected by ttre above (i.e. impact from vapor, dus!
9mofe, e1c) than by the former tenanls, which used the land in the same manner as-proposed
hercin." Based on references within the application it seems the former tenant was Granh Rivcr.
Mr. Gould explained that Grand Riverwas a road construction company lhat processed materials
and used an asphalt batch plant in its operations. It was Mr. Gould's contention that his
operations cunently are and have always been very similar to those of 6rand River without the
batch plant, therefore a continuation ofa previous non-conforming uses and wittr less impact.
Cbanges to Nonconformlng Uses frou 1978 to Present
Undcr Section 7.07 of the 1978 Zoning Rcsolution, changing from one nonconforming use to
another was permitted so long as the new use wa.s'n...considered to exhibit an equal or lesser
degree of nonconformity than the existing use..." If the nonconforming use was discontinued for
6 months, firture uses must be in conformity with the zoning resolutioo.
The Unilied [and Use Resolution of 2008, as amended (ULIJR), did not trcat changes to a
nonconformity the same. Under Section l0-103.A of the ULUL any change including
enlargement, expansion, extension or alteration, of a nonconforming use to urother would
irnmediately terminate any right to contiuue a nonconforming rse. If a nonconforming use or
shucture was abandoned or discontinued for 6 months all rights to continue the non.conforming
use would be void.
The most recent revisions to nonconfonning uses are addressed in Article 10, Section 103.A. of
the Land Use Development Code (LLTDC) adopted on July 15, 2013. Under this code, a
nonconfolming use terrninates if the landowner expressly states in writing to the Comrnunity
Development Director, if it is abandoned or discontinued for 2 years or ifthe use is enlarged,
expanded, extended or altered.
These revisions to Garfield County's land use regulations are significant to Gould Construction
operatioffi on the fy_tbryrk LLC property. Whcn Oould Consruction received a Special UsePermit.(SUD in 1997, the company wai operating under the l9T8 Zoning Resolution whichallowed a change in nonconformin! uses so long -as it exhibited * .quriirli.r.r aegree oinonconformity than previous uses. There is no ricord whether the nonconforming uscJat the
Gould site had ever bcen abandoned or discontinued. ivk. Gould states his oprr.'tion has not
changed and has been in continuous use since 1997. Therefore, cunent uses wilf be considered a
legal nonconforming use under previous and present land use regulations.
Currcnt Uses aud Conditions
Ft:$. on the rcprescntation made by-Mr. Gould, County Staff has concluded rhat storage and
handling of materials (soils and gravl; sorting and cleaning) are legal ron.*nforring uis that
h31e beln in place since Could Construction occupied the Jite in tdgt.These operations will be
allowed in addition to the uses permitted specificaliy by Resolutio ng1-92 (attaclied) as discussed
above.
In order to memorialize the paramelers of operation for the aforementioned legal non-
conforming status please provide the following infonnation. These documents and this letter
will.becorne pafi of the Jammmon/Gould SpJcial Use File to ensure that this operation can
continue to operate as a legal nonconforming use.
1. Detailed description of existing uses.2. A sealed survey of the 2.44 acre site used for thir commercial operation.3. A site plan indicating location of various operations and storage of materials or
equipmenL
4- Sealed engineered plan addressing Best Managemeut Practices for stormwater control
and deteils relating to erosion conhol devices, spill containrnent and river prolection
methods.
The legal non+onforming uses shalt be contained within the area designated on the site plan
provided by Gould Conshuction. Any change including the, expansion,"enlargement, exteniion
or alteration of the uses will also terminate thl right to continue the nonconfomr-ing uses.
Pursuant to Section l0-104.A.1 of the l"and Usc and Development Code (effective July 15,
2013), a nonconforming use shall be determined absndoned ii thc use is discontinued ftor an
unintemrpted period of truo (2) years or more as a result of causes within the control of the
property owner or their agenl unless the trse is governed by sectiou l0-102.D.2. Section l0-

We have reviewed the proposals to construct and operate a Veterinary Clinic (Equine Hospital)
and to continue to operate a Vehicle Repair Facility (Car Repair Faciliiy) on a i6.'98 acre parcel,
located at 3927 County Road 154, Glenwood Springs. The parcel is khown as Lot 2 of the
Eastbank LLC Minor Subdivision. The property curiently has an approximately 4,000 square
foot commercial building, access road and utilities in place. The applicant doei not propose tocreate a new lot or change the size of the existing lot. The current water supply to the parcel isprovided by a well, currently permitted under permit No. 50236-F.
According to our records, Well Permit No. 50236-F was issued July 8, 1998, pursuant to CRS37-90-137(2)to use an existing well constructed in the 1960s, and ii valid. Use of thegroundwater from the well is limited to drinking and sanitary purposes inside a 4,000 square foot
office/repair shop building, occasional truck washing and floor washing, and not more than 1,000
square feet of landscaping irrigation. The well shall be operated only when a Basalt Water
Conservancy District water allotment contract between the well owner and the district is in effect(contract referenced on the well permit is BWCD contract #312). The annualtotalvolume ofgroundwater to be appropriated under this permit is limited to O.+ acre-foot (130,332 gallons).
The applicant indicated that the water supply to both the existing car repair facility and theproposed veterinary clinic will be provided by the existing well. As the current permit is limitedto one 4,000 square foot office/repair shop building and in annual appropriation of 0.4 acre-foot,the proposal to supply the veterinary clinic - whiclr the applicant estimates would require 0.563
acre-foot - would be an expansion of use and would require a new well permit. The applicantdid indicate in the submitted materials that they are aware of this and would obtain a new permit
to allow for the well to also serve the new proposed use. Therefore, as long as the applicant
obtains a well permit for the expanded use, this office would not have an odjection to use of the
existing well to serve both facilities. Please note, since the property is located in the ColoradoRiver Basin which is over-appropriated, a new well permit would have to operate pursuant to anapproved plan for augmentation. The applicant has also indicated that they are in the process
of obtaining a contract with the Basalt Water Conservancy District for augmentation water forthe expanded uses for the veterinary clinic.
Please feel free to contact me at 303-866-3581 if you or the applicant has any questions.

Attn: David Pesnichak

Hello Dave,
My comments for the Eastbank LLC equine hospital and car repair facility are below. I have
combined the two applications into one set of comments; however, will distinguish between the
two when appropriate.
1. Drinking water and wastewater disposal
a. The water supply letter from Balcomb and Green indicates that there was a water
quality test done for the existing well on the property that showed negative
results for E. Coli. Garfield County land use code recommends testing for the
broader range of compounds in the "Deluxe Colorado Package" of the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment's Laboratory Services Division or
an equivalent suite of compounds from a different lab. The testing packages are
attached for reference.
b. The operation should make every effort to connect to the proposed Roaring Fork
Water and Sanitation District once that system is in place as is outlined in their
application.c. The wastewater system in the application was referred to several times as an
ISDS. The correct term is now onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS),
and the system should comply with all current Garfield County regulations. A
temporary system installed for the Equine Hospital/Veterinary Clinic should still
meet standards for waste disposal and storage, particularly given the potential
constituents in the wastewater from livestock and automobile fluids.
d. This property is located within the City of Glenwood Springs' Source Water
Protection Area. The operator should be mindful of this in their operations, and
contact Jerry Wade, water treatment plant operator, at (970) 618-8209 in the
event of a spill.
2. Solid and hazardous materials and waste
a. Both operations at this location produce waste that, improperly disposed of, have
the potential to negatively affect ground and surface water supplies. Proper
handling of these materials is of utmost importance given the close proximity to
the Roaring Fork River. Waste oil and other automobile fluids should be stored
so that they do not leak and are not allowed contact with bare soil. Horse and
other livestock manure should be cleaned frequently and stored so that nutrients
and bacteria are not allowed to leave the property.
3. Nuisance Conditions
a. ln the impact analyses of both applications, there is no mention of dust control.
The operator should be aware that these land uses can produce fugitive dust and

should implement proper dust control such as water application, revegetation
when possible, and covering bare sudaces with gravel.
Thank you,

You are correct the trip total of the two buildings should read as follows:
Total Proposed Trip Generation
The total estimate average daily traffic for the two proposed business is 114 trips during a busy day for both
businesses. This is approximately a 65.5Vo reduction in average daily traffic for the two proposed businesses
compared to the existing commercial operations.

RE: GAPA-OS-15-8453 and GAPA -05-16-8454
Dear David,
I am responding to the two above referenced referrals as the District Engineer for the Roaring Fork
Water and Sanitation District. As you are aware the RFWSD has a pending Service Plan Amendment and
Location and Extent permit that is currently scheduled for hearings in June through September. Water
and Sewer lines are being proposed to be extended from the current District infrastructure to the new
Eastbank School site. These lines are proposed to be installed adjacent to these two referenced
properties. The RFWSD has asked that the RE-L School District and the adjoining properties master plan
the proposed utilities in this area so that the long term utilities are master planned complete with water
distribution and sewer collection lines. The RFWSD prefers that individual connections not be made to
water transmission or sewage force mains or interceptor sewers. For that reason the District is awaiting
a master plan before making further commitments to serve these parcels.
Both the Equine Hospital and the Car Repair facility will have water quality parameters for the discharge
to the sewer lines that must be met to protect the District biological treatment facility.
lf you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely
Louis Meyer, PE
