Proposed Request The Applicant requests approval from the Board to expand their existing Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a "school" which is contemplated as a CUP in the A/R/RD zone district. The proposal includes the internal expansion of facilities and services for an additional 7 students for a maximum of 35 students. This expansion will include increasing the beds in the Treatment Learning and Containment Unit (TLC) which also allows for additional day -treatment students. Increasing the capacity to 35 would also allow female residents from the proposed 1359 program to attend activities on the 1252 campus. B. Background / History As a matter of background, the Board originally approved a CUP request for a "school" known at the time as "Western Academy" on the subject property in 1986 which was subsequently amended in 1997 to include an expansion to the original school building. A school is defined in the zoning code as "a public or private pre-school, elementary or seconda school or college." It is understood by Staff that the primary function of the Emily Griffith Center is to educate up to a maximum of 28 students at the facility. It should also be noted that the County Department of Social Services will refer students to the Center from time to time. Most recently in December 2003, the Board approved the placement of two modular classroom / 1 storage structures on the property as well as the construction of four horse paddocks, a riding arena, and a round pen to support the equine program. 1980: CUP to locate the First Baptist Church on the property; 1986: CUP to change uses from the church to a School for "Westem Academy" which conducted a residential training and education program for up to 24 students (ages 12 — 18) for 12 months of the year with a staff of 12; 1997: 1st Amendment to the School CUP by "Western Academy" to add an addition to the existing school building to relieve crowding in the dorms but no additional students. Maximum remained at 28. Applicant demonstrated via an analysis by SGM that the actual septic use was 1950 gpd; and 2003: 2nd Amendment to the School CUP by the "Emily Griffith Center" to place two modular classroom / storage structures on the property as well as the• construction of four horse paddocks, a riding arena, and a round pen to support the equine program. No increase to student enrollment. B. Site Description The property is located on the mesa adjacent to and east of the Highlands East subdivision in Rifle on CR 294. The property is flat and currently contains a two story school structure (14,256 sq. ft.) with an attached single -story addition containing approximately 2,392 sq. ft. The Applicant has placed two additional modular structures (12 x 40) on the east and rear side of the school building. As mentioned earlier, the proposal for the additional 7 students will only require internal modification of the existing structure. No additional external modifications are contemplated to the structure or site design. 11. REFERRAL AGENCIES In keeping with the terms of the Inter -Governmental Agreement (IGA) and the fact that the property is located within Rifle's sphere of urban influence, Staff referred the request to the Planning Director for the City of Rifle. The Application was also referred to the Road and Bridge Department. III.REVIEW STANDARDS Conditional Uses are subject to the standards in Section 5,03 of the Zoning Resolution, Staff has provided the standards in bold italics below followed by a Staff Response. A. section Kevtew Standards 1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted engineering standards and approved by the Board of County Commissioners shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use; (A97-60) Staff Finding 2 \J 0 `tr c\P The facility's domestic water is presently served by the City of Rifle. Wastewater is presently handled by an existing septic system. The application materials state the Applicant proposes to handle increased wastewater generated from the additional students either by an additional ISDS or by connecting to the City of Rifle's wastewater treatment facility. The Applicant has applied to the City for this service. [It should be noted that the original proposal to locate the Emily Griffith Center in the present facility included much discussion on how to handle wastewater. The Applicant was required to prove that a septic system (of 2000 gallons or less) could handle wastewater generated. Otherwise, a site application approval from the State would have been required.] The City of Rifle indicated that the most likely would approve an extension and tap if funded by the Applicant and if the engineering plans were approved for the line. However, the Applicant has not been approved for a tap / extension from the City of Rifle at this time. Instead, the Applicant hired an engineering firm, Church & Associates, to complete an analysis of the existing septic system to determine if additional flow could be handled. The consultants indicate (see Exhibit G) that the additional waste water flow from the 7 students could be handled by the existing system if all laundry was handled off site. Specifically, the letter from Church & Associates states that "daily water readings have been recorded at the subject property from February 27th to April 13th 2004. The current daily average r__ the nn -`--d---,._ is Lff gallons per d__- /T,t,r \ The average water --- which is .i if assumed to be the wastewater flow, is 55.5 GPD. By adding 7 students the projected total daily average would be 1945 GPD, which would maintain the facility under a Garfield County Individual Sewage Disposal (ISDS) permit." Staff finds the analysis somewhat troubling given a previous analysis conducted by Schmueser Gordon Meyer that the average daily flow for 32 students is 1950 gpd. (See Exhibit H). The Applicant has committed to this scenario and also suggests that if laundry were handled offsite, this would keep the daily flow rates down. While Staffunderstands this to be possible, it is impossible to monitor. Further, Staff would like to have more detailed analysis and engineered calculations certified by Church & Associates that can also be reviewed by the County's Engineer for accuracy. At this point, Staff in unconvinced that adding 7 students and additional staff will not over burden the current system. 2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use; X31 nn rii1U111g The school has a parking lot with a separate entrance and exit onto CR 294. The Applicant states that daily trips occur from the 10 —12 staff vehicles and a passenger van and suburban which are all accommodated in the existing parking lot. The Applicant states that the increase of 7 students to the center will require a maximum of 2 additional staff members. Staff referred the application to the Road and Bridge Department however no comments were received. The Emily Griffith Center also receives a food delivery approximately once or twice 3 a week, Staff finds that the traffic patterns that occur as a result of the school are generally characterized by morning staff arriving and evening staff leaving with a few delivery trips which do not represent a significant impact to the general traffic flow and negative impact to the County's road system. 3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from adjacent uses of land through installation of screen fences or landscape materials on the periphery of the lot and by location of intensively utilized areas, accesspoints, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect established neighborhood character; Staff Finding No physical changes will occur to the present site as a result of the expansion in the number of students in the program. Staff finds that due to the small size of the structures, their placement on the site in close proximity to the two story school building, the existing landscaping and trees around the property, the structures effectively blend in with the existing buildings and surrounding environment and are not easily seen from CR 294. No new lighting or signage has been installed with the structures and therefore does not deter from the established character of the neighborhood. IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners open and continue the public hearing regarding the request to expand the services and facilities of the Emily Griffith Center for a "school" on a property located at 1252 County Road 294, Garfield County so that a more detailed analysis can be presented to and verified by the County regarding the adequacy of the septic system, 4 NOTICE TAKE NOTICE That &Pi Etimis s applieci,to the l 04"coCDuA41 Co,w►i; ss;oiltrs Garfield, County pursuant to Stroh/A t ,02.4' a5.0Z.oz.

Scheduling of outdoor activities is done in such a way that only small groups are engaged in outdoor activity at any given time. Therefore, increasing the population would not increase the number of residents engaged in outdoor activity at any one time. We are completely open to any discussion on these matters and are sure that we would be able to create solutions that would be mutually agreeable to all concerned regarding privacy, security, utilization, access, lighting and signage.
