1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
Figure I- Vicinity Mop
The Applicant is requesting approval for an
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on a 27,387
square foot parcel located within the
Cooperton Townsite, as shown in Figure 1.
The required minimum lot size for an ADU in
the Residential Urban zone district is 15,000
square feet, twice the minimum lot size of
7,500 square feet. The subject site exceeds
this requirement. An ADU of up to 1,500
square feet can be constructed on the site
subject to Section 7-701 of the 2013 Land Use
and Development Code, as amended
(LUCD).
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE
A single family home currently exists on the
parcel and an addition is proposed to be
attached to the home. The ADU is proposed
to contain one bedroom.
1
Page
Shiflet ADU
Director Decision March 13, 2017
Water to serve the unit is proposed via construction of a new well on the site, Permit
Number 303994, dedicated to serve only the ADU. The existing single family home has
Town of Carbondale Water service, however a moratorium is currently in place therefore
the proposal to serve the unit with a well.
An existing OWTS on the site has sufficient capacity to serve the ADU if it is limited to
one bedroom in size.
The Rockford Ditch flows through the property and the ditch company has been included
as a referral agency.
The site is designated as Urban Growth Boundary for the Town of Carbondale, therefore
consultation with the Town of Carbondale Comprehensive Plan is appropriate.
III. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
A. The Land Use Table contained in Section 3-403 of the LUDC designates an
Accessory Dwelling Unit within the Rural Zone District as requiring Administrative Review.
B. Section 4-103 of the LUDC sets forth the Administrative Review Procedures by
which the current Application is being considered.
C. Article 7 of the Land Use and Development Code sets forth General approval
standards in DOivision 1, General Resource Protection Standards in Division 2 and Site
Planning and Development Standards in Division 3. Accessory Dwelling Units are also
subject to Section 7-701. The standards are addressed in the Application submittals and
in the Staff Analysis section of this report.
IV. PUBLIC AND REFERRAL COMMENTS
The Applicant has provided documentation that all required notice mailings have been
completed in accordance with the LUDC. No public comments were received as a result
of the public notice.
Referral Comments received on the Application are attached as Exhibits and summarized
below:
1. Mountain Cross Engineering, Exhibit H: Chris Hale identified the need to meet water
quality and quantity testing as well as setback issues with the well and setbacks
between the septic and ditches.
2. Road and Bridge, Exhibit F: A Driveway Permit will not be required for this unit.
3. Rockford Ditch Company, Exhibit I: Joe White responded that the Rockford Ditch
Association has no objection as long as there is no legal or physical impact on the
ditch, its easement, or its operation.
2
Shiflet ADU
Director Decision March 13, 2017
4. Division of Water Resources, Exhibit G: Justina Mickelson responded that the ADU
will be served by Well Permit No. 303994 issued on December 22, 2016. The Division
has no objection of the use of the well for this unit.
5. Brent Maiolo: Mr. Maiolo is an adjacent property owner who wanted to voice his
support of this application.
6. Vegetation Management, Exhibit J: Steve Anthony responded that there were no
comments.
No response was received from Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District,
Environmental Health, Mt. Sopris Soil Conservation District, and Town of Carbondale.
V. STAFF ANALYSIS
Article 7, Division 1: General Standards
Section 7-101: Compliance with Zone District Use Regulations
The property is in general compliance with Zone District Regulations for the Residential
Urban Zone District. The proposal meets maximum lot coverages, property setbacks and
exceeds the requirement for a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet for an ADU.
Section 7-102: Conformance with Comprehensive Plan and compliance with IGAs
The site is located on the Garfield County Future Land Use Map (FLUM) within the Urban
Growth Boundary for the Town of Carbondale, therefore we look to the Comprehensive
Plan for the Town. That Comprehensive Plan identifies the Satank area as Phase 2
Potential Annexation: InfiII Areas. Satank (Cooperton) is a low priority according to the
explanation of the Phase 2 Infill Areas, but also states that the area currently functions as
a part of the town. Demand for sewer could motivate petitions for annexation but the
opportunities for public benefit to the town are few.
Section 7-103: Compatibility
The proposed use is located within a residential subdivision and is therefore compatible
both with the use and density of the area.
Section 7-104: Sufficient, Adequate, Legal and Physical Source of Water
Currently the site is served by public water from the Town of Carbondale, however an
existing moratorium prevents service to the proposed ADU. The Applicant proposes
instead to provide water to the ADU via Well Permit No. 303994. This well will be drilled
and testing results provided regarding sufficiency of the pump test and water quality
analysis. This testing is proposed as a condition of approval.
Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater
The existing single family home is served by a County -permitted Onsite Wastewater
3
Shiflet ADU
Director Decision March 13, 2017
Treatment System (OWTS) that has sufficient excess capacity to serve a one bedroom
ADU. A condition is recommended limiting the size of the ADU to one bedroom unless
improvements are made to the capacity of the OWTS.
Section 7-106: Adequate Public Utilities
The site is currently served with adequate public utilities.
Section 7-107: Access and Driveways
The application was referred to the Garfield County Road &Bridge Department who
responded that a driveway permit is not required for the ADU.
Section 7-108: Natural Hazards
The site does not appear to be located within any mapped hazard area.
Section 7-109: Fire Protection
The Application was referred to the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District who
had no comment on the proposal.
Article 7, Division 2: General Resource Protection Standards
Section 7-201 Agricultural Lands
The proposed ADU will be accessory to the primary dwelling unit on the subject property.
The property is not currently being used for agricultural purposes. The Rockford Ditch is
located on the site and a referral was sent to the Ditch Company. There does not appear
to be any impact to the ditch from the proposed ADU.
Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas
The redevelopment of the parcel with the inclusion of an ADU will not create additional
impacts to wildlife.
Section 7-203 Protection of Waterbodies
There are no waterbodies on the site other than the above discussed Rockford Ditch.
Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion
Disturbance will be minimal and positive drainage has been designed as part of the
structure.
Sections 7-205 Environmental Quality
Air and water quality will not be adversely impacted by the ADU.
Section 7-206 Wildfire Hazards
The wildfire hazard in this area is minimal.
Section 7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards
No significant natural or geologic hazards have been identified on the subject property.

There is adequate area within the lot to meet minimum snow storage standards.
Section 7-306 Trail and Walkway Standards:
No recreational or community facility access areas are proposed.
Article 7, Division 701, Accessory Dwelling Unit
Section 7-701.A Maximum Floor Area:

down, recharge, and estimated long-term yield. The report shall be prepared
by a qualified professional engineer or ground water hydrologist and shall
include an opinion that the well will be adequate to supply water for the
proposed uses. The report shall also address the impacts to ground water
resources in the area.
(2) Water quality shall be tested by an independent testing laboratory for the
following contaminants: alkalinity, arsenic, cadmium, calcium, coliform
bacteria, chloride, conductivity, copper, corrosivity, fluoride, hardness, iron,
lead, magnesium, manganese, nitrate/nitrite, pH, sodium, sodium adsorption
ratio, sulfate, total dissolved solids, uranium, zinc and alpha/beta radioactivity.
Additional testing may be required for other contaminants that occur within the
County. The results shall show that the Maximum Contaminants Levels
(MCLs), as set forth by the CDPHE within the Colorado Primary Drinking Water
Standards, are not exceeded, or the Applicant has otherwise identified a
treatment system that will bring the water within acceptable MCLs. Annual
testing, testing for other contaminants, and testing for secondary drinking
standards including taste, odor, color, staining, scaling, and corrosion is also
recommended.

Re: Shiflet Accessory Dwelling Unit; GAPA-01-17-8516
EXHIBIT
We have reviewed the request for a permit for a proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on a
parcel of approximately 0.63 acres in size, located in part of the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section
28 in Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the 6th P.M., at 55 Mesa Avenue, (lots 3-9, parcel
no.2393-283-04-015). The property currently has an existing single family residence, access
road and utilities in place. The applicant does not propose to create a new lot or change the size
of the existing lot. The current water supply to the residence on the lot is provided by the Town
of Carbondale. The applicant has indicated using the well on the property for the ADU.
According to our records, a relocation for the existing well, Permit No. 303994, was approved
under Permit No. 303994-A. The application also indicates an existing individual septic serves
the existing single family dwelling and will serve the ADU.
According to our records, Well Permit No. 303994 was issued on December 22, 2016, for an
existing well located in the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 28, Twp. 7 South, Rng. 88 West of
the 6th P.M. The use of groundwater from the well was approved for ordinary household
purposes inside one (1) single family dwelling, fire protection, the watering of domestic animals
and poultry, and the irrigation of not more than 2,500 square feet of home gardens and lawns.
The rate of this well shall not exceed 15 gpm. Per our records, the well was constructed and
first put to use October 11, 1948, and the current permit is valid. Well permit 303994-A was
issued on January 19, 2019 for the relocation of the existing well.
The applicant's land use change request indicates that the well located on the property would
service the proposed ADU. The ADU would be considered, for the purposes of well permitting,
to be an additional single family dwelling.
As long as the uses of the well do not exceed those allowed under the permit (well permit no.
303994 or well permit no. 303994-A), this office has no objection to the well also serving the
ADU.
Please feel free to contact me at 303-866-3581 if you or the applicant has any questions.

RE: Review of the Shiflet Accessory Dwelling Unit: GAPA-01-17-8516
Dear Kathy:
This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Shiflet Accessory Dwelling
Unit. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The review generated the
following comments:
1. The Applicant should verify that the well can he drilled in a location that will meet the setbacks
required from other wells and from septic systems.
2. The Applicant will need to provide pumping test and water quality results.
3. There are setbacks from irrigation ditches and septic systems. The Applicant should verify
that the existing septic system meets the setback requirements.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
