RE: 4006 County Road 115 — Access and Roadways (7-107) Statement
Policy 01-14 Waivers for Roads and Demonstration of Compliance
Dear Glenn:
October 12, 2016
As you are aware, Section 7-107 - Access and Roadways, of the Garfield County Land Use and
Development Code (LUDC) requires that all roads be designed to provide adequate and safe
access. The LUDC defines "road" as "a County road, State highway, public road, street or
alley, or private thoroughfare which affords the primary access to abutting property, excluding a
driveway accessing a single property. The accessory dwelling unit (ADU) located in the barn on
Don and Linda Helmich's (Applicant) property consists of a studio apartment / art studio. The
only road that services the ADU is a private Primitive/Driveway on a 20 foot deeded Road and
Utility easement from County Road 115 to the Applicant's property line. The property shares the
roadway and easement with an adjacent property owner (Lagiglia, Parcel No. 21872910043).
Based on the design capacity as defined by the Institute for Traffic Engineers and Table 7-107
Roadway Standards, the required roadway is Semi Primitive. The ADU access road does not
meet Semi Primitive standards as shown in Table 7-107. As such, a waiver pursuant to Policy
01-14 is sought. In addition, a waiver to traffic study is also requested. The following
information provides a Statement of Adequacy of the current roadway to meet the existing uses
which includes the subject ADU.
Statement of Adequacy
On September 27, 2016, Resource Engineering, Inc. (RESOURCE) reviewed the existing
driveway and access that services the subject ADU and concludes that the existing access is
adequate for the current and proposed uses. This opinion is based on the following:
1) The shared access and subject ADU have been in existence until at least 1992. The
Applicant has not experienced any real difficulties or traffic concerns in their 13 years
owning the property.
2) The subject ADU provides a minimal increase in daily traffic. The Institute for Traffic
Engineers (ITE) significantly overestimates average daily trips (ADT), especially in rural
county areas. A technical research paper titled "Phantom Trips: Overestimating the
traffic impacts of new development" that was published in The Journal of Transport and
Land Use in 2015 (Volume 8 No. 1 [2015] pp. 31-49) by Adam Millard -Ball. The research
paper concluded from a National Household Traffic Survey (NHTS) that ITE
overestimates trips 56 percent (on average) for rural residential properties and as much
as 108 percent for residential rentals such as an apartment. Based on this

overestimation, RESOURCE concludes that the average daily traffic and design
capacity of the roadway needs to meet the Primitive/Driveway standards in Table 7-107.
3) The adjacent property owner also has a secondary access on their property directly off
County Road 115 as shown on Figure 1.
4) Many areas of the access road exceed the Primitive/Driveway standard. For example,
the access road near County Road 115 is as much as 20 feet wide with 2 foot
shoulders.
In support of this statement, RESOURCE has estimated the peak hour and average daily traffic
demand of the road, examined the geometry of the road with respect to Table 7-107, examined
potential safety and structural issues, and has opined on the current maintenance of the road.
• Travel Demand — Based on our review of the roadway and technical research,
RESOURCE estimates that the peak travel demand is 4 trips per hour and an
average daily traffic demand of 20 trips.
• Geometry of the Road - When comparing to the Primitive/Driveway roadway
standards presented in Table 7-107, the design standards are met' as there is no
apparent need for a roadside ditch to allow for proper drainage.
• Safety/Structural Issues — RESOURCE observed no obvious safety and/or structural
issues during the September 27, 2016 site visit. There are several shoulders places
where cars can pull over to one side to let head on vehicles safely pass.
• Maintenance — The access road appears to be adequately maintained. During the
September 27, 2016 site visit, RESOURCE observed pot holes that were recently
repaired. In addition, grass buffers on the shoulders of the road were well
maintained.
Attachment A provides photographs taken during the site visit and Figure 1 includes the
locations and directions of photographs.
I trust that this is the information you require. Please call if you have any questions or need
additional information.
Sincerely,

Cross slopes were not measured, but adequate drainage cross the access road was observed. In
addition, a small narrower road area (approximately 10 feet wide) was observed as shown on Figure
1. This area has a one foot shoulder on both sides that can be driven on.

Existence of Easement by Prior Use
The Helmich property and the Lagiglia property, going all the way back to the
establishment of the lower Hopkins Ranch in 1913 and the 1922 construction of the
presently existing barn, were held in common ownership by the Hopkins family or
individual family members until 1967 when Alice and Bernard Hopkins sold an
undivided1/2 interest in a 3 acre parcel that is today most of the Helmich 3 acre parcel.
They conveyed with the property the presently existing twenty -foot easement for road
and utility purposes in joint use. A small portionof actual roadway providing access to
the Heinrich property (approx. 45 lineal ft.) inadvertently falls.outsidebf the -
aforementioned 20 ft. easement The size and location of existing trees and the
surface terrain together with the frontal access to the Hopkins Barn determined the
location of the actual intended easement. The criteria for a "Easement by Prior Use" is
as set forth below:
1. Common Ownership of both roperties atone time
2. Followed by a severance
3. Use occurs before the severance and afterward
4. Notice
a. Not simply visibility, but apparent or discoverable by reasonable inspection
5. Necessary and beneficial
a Reasonably necessary
b. Not the "strict necessity" required by an easement of necessity
There are also other legal easements such as "by prescription", "by necessity",
"implied", or "express". Essentially, however, the roadway providing access to the
Helmich property from Red Canyon Road has existed in its current configuration for at.
least 50 years , but almost certainly as far back as 1922 when the barn was built - 94
yr:s): It has met the above criteria above for an "existence of easement by prior use".

IMPACT ANALYSIS
Section 4-203(G)
Development of this ADU occurred back in 1996. This analysis, therefore, will only
attempt to set forth anticipated impacts from the use and occupation of this already
existing ADU. We have only been the property owners since 2003 and therefore
cannot render any opinions as to what impacts were prior to our ownership. Our best
assessment of the existing conditions today are as follows:
1. Adjacent Land Use - The existing use of both adjacent and neighboring properties
within a 1,500 foot radius falls under Rural Residential and the proposed ADU is
consistent with these adjacent uses.
2. Site Features - There are no features subject to flooding, etc., and no disturbances
of the site will be occuring.
3. Soil Characteristics, 4. Geology and Hazard, 5. Groundwater and Aquifer Recharge
Areas - we envision no real impacts in these areas.
6.Environmental Impacts - A waiver is requested from the Environmental Impacts
Section including wildlife and habitat studies. There is no new or expanded
development.
7. Nuisance - we do not expect to experience any changes in terms of noise, dust, air
quality, etc. from this ADU usage.
8. Hours of Operation - Not really applicable
Use of this ADU will have impacts similiar to normal residential use. It is probable that
whoever occupies the ADU will be one person, or at most a couple. There obviously
will be additional vehicle traffic and usage of our well water and septic tank leach field,
but both are clearly adequate.

To Whom It May Concern: September 23; 2016
We herewith request a waiver from the Section 4-202 submittal of a traffic study. The
rural location of our property together with the limited shared usage of our primitive
roadway by us and our neighbor has demonstrated its historical sufficiency. Our 550
sg.ft. ADU will only have one or two people with no more than one or two vehicles.
There is no new development or construction inasmuch • as the ADU unit described in
this application was previously constructed in 1996.
We also request a waiver from the Section 4-202 submittal of a grading and drainage
plan inasmuchthere will be no construction, changes, or impacts that would warrant a
new plan. The existing ADU unit, on the 2nd floor of a barn, will create no new or
different conditions that would warrant any changes to a historically well -working site
drainage situation. The lack of any anticipated or needed changes warrants such a
waiver.
The limited scope and complexity of this Application demonstrate good cause that
these waivers should be granted.
