RE: Withdrawal of the Martinez Small Contractor Yard, GAPA-06-16-8459 &
the Martinez Flood Plain Development Permit FDPA-06-16-8460
Dear Dan:
Thank you for meeting to go over the status of the two Martinez Applications, for a small
contractor yard and a flood plain development permit. At our meeting you were advised
that the time lines and related extensions to address all the completeness issues
associated with the two submittals had expired. Pursuant to Section 4-101(B)(2)(a) of
the Land Use and Development Code, if the Applicant fails to correct the deficiencies in
the Applications within 60 Calendar days, the application shall be considered withdrawn
and returned to the Applicant. In accordance with this Code provision we are returning
to you the Application submittals and closing the associated files with the notation that
they were not determined to be complete and are considered withdrawn.
You have already re -submitted new Applications for the requested uses and we look
forward to finalizing the completeness review process for those submittals as soon as
possible. Thank you for the quick turnaround with the re -submittals.
I will contact you with any questions that come up regarding the new submittals and an
update on their completeness.
Sincerely,
Glenn Hartmann

2. Fees: Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff
time devoted to an application, multiplied by an hourly rate for the personnel
involved. The Board recognizes that the land use application process time
varies and that an Applicant should pay for the total cost of the review which
may require additional billing. Hourly rates are based on the hourly salary,
and fringe benefits costs of the respective positions combined with an hourly
overhead cost of the office will be used to establish the actual cost of County
staff time devoted to the review of a particular project.

RE: Completeness Review Martinez Flood Plain Development Permit
FDPA-06-16-8460
Dear Dan:
Thank you for your submittals for the Flood Plain Development Permit on the Martinez
property located at 335 Village Dr., submitted on behalf of Tani Martinez and Gloria
Strouse. Our completeness review included input from the County Attorney's Office and
has identified a several items that need to be addressed or clarified prior to a
determination of technical completeness. Please respond to the following items:
1. On the Application Form the owners and the signatories should conform and
include both owners.
2. A current deed for the property is needed showing ownership by the Applicants.
3. The list of property owners within 200 ft. needs to be reviewed and corrected to
conform to the lists obtained from the County records.
4. Information on mineral rights owners is required and should include details on
how the research was conducted. A memo with research information from the County
Attorney's Office is attached.
5. Application information responding to Section 3-301 (E) needs to address the
standard associated with no adverse impacts on adjacent properties.
6. Application information responding to Section 4-109 (3) and (7) needs to address
the velocity of flood waters as it relates to potential for material, equipment, and
sediment transport off site onto other lands. Erosion issues, floatable hazards, and
placement of fill material (if any) need to be addressed.

7. The Application and Flood Plain Analysis needs to comply with the requirements
of Section 4-203 (0). Application formatting should follow the section outline with
references to Items #1 - #5. The Flood Plain Analysis needs to include the engineer's
stamp.
6. The Application needs to confirm that the site and drainage plan topography and
elevations are consistent with the datum used on the flood plain mapping.
A follow-up meeting or telephone conference with staff is recommended to clarify any of
the above items.
Once the above topics are addressed we can finalize our completeness review and
schedule a date for your Director's Decision. Please note that the Garfield County Land
Use and Development Code requires that the technical completeness issues be
resolved within 60 -days of the date of this letter, otherwise the application will be
deemed withdrawn unless a request for extension is submitted and approved. I look
forward to addressing the completeness items as quickly as possible and moving
forward with your review process.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Staff
FROM: County Attorney's Office
DATE: June 24, 2014
RE: Mineral Interest Research
Mineral interests may be severed from surface right interests in real property. Colorado revised
statute 24-65.5-103 requires notification to mineral owners when a landowner applies for a land
use designation by a local government. As such, the landowner must research the current owners
of mineral interests for the property.
The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code of 2013 ("LUDC") Section 4-
101(E)(1)(b)(4) requires written notice to owners of mineral interests in the subject property "as
such owners can be identified through the records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or
Assessor, or through other means."
It is the duty of the applicant to notify mineral interest owners. The following is a suggested
process to research mineral interests:
1. Review the current ownership deed for the property (i.e. Warranty Deed, Special
Warranty, Quit Claim Deed or Bargain and Sale Deed—NOT a Deed of Trust). The
ownership deed is usually one or two pages. Is there a reservation of mineral interests on
the ownership deed? Are there any exceptions to title? A deed may include a list of
reservations that reference mineral owners or oil and gas leases.
2. Review your title insurance policy. Are there exceptions to title listed under Schedule B -
II? If so, review for mineral interests that were reserved and oil and gas leases.
3. Check with the Assessor's office to determine if a mineral interest has been reserved
from the subject property. The Assessor's office no longer documents the mineral
reservation ownership for its tax roll records unless ownership has been proven. There
are only a limited number of mineral owners who have provided such information to the
Assessor's office so this may not provide any information, depending on your property.
MEMO

4. Research the legal description of the subject property with the Clerk and Recorder's
computer. You can search the Section, Township, and Range of the subject property.
You may find deeds for mineral interests for the subject property.
5. Research whether a Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership was filed for the subject
property. On the Clerk and Recorder's computer, search under Filter (on the right hand
side of the screen), General Recordings, Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership for the
subject property.
6. If you find mineral interest owners as reservations on your deed, listed in your title
insurance policy, from the Assessor's records or the Clerk and Recorder's computer, you
need to determine whether these mineral interests were transferred by deed and recorded
in the Clerk and Recorder's office.
7. Enter the name of the mineral interest owner as the Grantor in the Clerk and Recorder's
computer to see if the mineral interest was transferred. If you find a transfer deed, you
need to repeat this process to follow any transfer of the mineral interest to present day.
8. Include a description of your research process in your application and the name(s) and
address(es) of the current mineral interest owner(s).
Mineral interest research can be a difficult and time consuming process. If you are unable to
determine mineral rights ownership by yourself, consider hiring an attorney or landman.
Attorneys and landmen specialize in determining mineral rights ownership, but they charge a fee
for their services.
