RE : Land Use Change Parcel 1 Rifle Village South Filing 1 Amended Plat
Development within the 100-yr Floodplain for a Small Contractor's Yard
Engineer's Floodplain Analysis Report
Parcel 1 of 335 Village Drive is located within FEMA panel 0802051353B. This area is a
part of a delineated floodplain area and requires a Special Use Permit in accordance with
Section 6 of Garfield County Zoning Resolution . The purpose of county floodplain
regulations is to permit only such uses that will not endanger life, health, public and private
properties due to flood conditions.
The property was included in the January 3, 1986 Flood Insurance Study of Unincorporated
Garfield County produced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is
determined to be mapped within the Zone AO area. The area is classified as an alluvial fan
floodplain area with a shallow (1 foot) flooding depth and velocities of 4 feet per second.
The primary drainage path is within this Community Panel is Helmer Gulch located
approximately 1, 100 feet to the southeast. This gulch will convey most storm events away
from the subject property to the northeast. The alluvial fan of Helmer Gulch encompasses the
subject property. This area does not have distinct watercourses outside of the existing water
channels and the path of flooding is unpredictable and cannot be determined. Blanket
coverage is conservatively assumed in the floodplain mapping.
The contractor's yard site is located in a high lying area along the cross-section of the alluvial
fan. A significant drainage path is located approximately 300 feet to the east on the Piceance
Energy parcel. This drainage path sits 7-12' lower than the proposed yard . This is the only
major channel than extends south of the yard in the immediate area. A low point in the
alluvial fan cross-section also exists 400 feet to the west. This drainage path sits 5-8' lower
than the proposed yard. The Rifle Village South development has removed any historic
drainage paths to the south . However, Village Drive falls to the west when it turns west at a
tight horizontal curb south of the Parcel 4 . The proposed contractor yard sits in the most
unlikely location of flooding in the surrounding area .
A draft update to the Flood Insurance Rate Map is in circulation and review but has not been
recorded. However, the floodway of Helmer Gulch is reflected in this map and shows it
tightly confined within the alignment of Helmer Gulch. It also does not show the contractor

yard site within Zone AO in this draft mapping. The only flooding from the Colorado River
is from in the Alleman property to the north.
The current mapping still shows the need to place structures 2 feet above existing ground
within the Zone AO. The proposed contractor's yard however does not propose any
structures that would require flood insurance . Construction equipment and materials will be
the limit to the proposed uses on the 1.26 acre yard. The distance from any defined floodway
also eliminates the concern of materials washing downstream and harming neighboring
properties and structures . The property to the north is a large open lot with no structures
other than a water skiing pond .
A past review of the site for a single-family home construction within Parcel B, of which
Parcel 1 is a portion therein, approved a special use permit to allow placement of a single-
family house within the Zone AO floodplain. This exhibit is attached in Tab 5.
The proposed location of a small contractor's storage yard as defined in the site plan will not
alter the alignment of any watercourses or their carrying capacity; therefore, no public or
private properties will be caused endangerment. The revegetation the land previously
disturbed and any minor grading that is still to be completed must be placed, compacted, and
seeded according to Garfield County specifications.
The following list of the Garfield County Land Use Code items is listed in order to aid in the
review process:
Use Restrictions in the Floodplain Overlay (Section 3-301.A)
Table 3-301, Floodplain Overlay Use Restrictions Table, of the Garfield County Land Use
Code shows that storage is allowed as long as the materials stored are outside of the
floodplain, does not alter watercourses, and does not include materials that are buoyant,
flammable, explosive, or otherwise injurious to human, animal, or plant life. The applicant
will restrict the scope of materials stored to not include the categories listed above .
General Standards (Section 3-301.B)
The materials storage shall be placed to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement
resulting in hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads. This will be achieved by allowing flow
patterns around the areas of material storage. The materials stored on site will not be those
that have buoyancy and would float downstream during a minor shallow flood event as
described the recorded FEMA map of l' of depth.
The applicant does not see the need to anchor the storage materials that are planned for the
site. The materials tend to be heavy and small shifts due to a shallow flood as described in
the recorded FEMA map would not have any effect on downstream structures . The property
to the north is vacant and in soils unsuitable for construction as is the case with the subject
property. The only current land use to the north is a pond about 600' feet to the northwest.
In order to minimize flood damage, the materials excavated from the cut area proposed on
the grading plan will not be placed as fill to avoid additional material from washing
downstream. According to the attached grading plan, only excavation and export of material

is necessary to revise the retaining wall. The balance of the grading was done over two years
ago and fill was only placed along a high point on the crosssection of the lot.
Specific Standards (Section 3-301.C)
The grading proposed places the storage area approximately 7-12' higher than the drainage
channel to the east and would be clear of any flow patterns from the south. There are no
structures on the site. Recreational vehicles will remain on site for less than 180 days,
licensed and ready for highway use, or anchored per Code.
Floodway (Section 3-301.D)
The site is clear from any floodway .
tandards for Areas of Shallow Floodin g (Section 3-3 0 LE)
There are no structures proposed on the site and there is a significant channel directly east of the
site and another channel 400 ' to the west. The shallow flow patterns are unpredictable on this
property but the off site basin are directed to the major channels and do not cross the contractor's
yard so HCE does not predict that the shallow flooding reflected in the 1977 FEMA mapping
impacts this location .
The survey of the proposed grading of the contractor's yard site shows that drainage will be
flowing to the west and east and can freely drain around the proposed stored materials.
Alterati on of a Watercourse ( ection 3-3O1 . G)
The proposed grading has no effect on a watercourse and flood-carrying capacity 1s not
diminished .
Development in the 100-yr Floodplain (Section 4-109.C)
1. The danger of flooding is low due to the high location along the cross-section of the
floodplain . There are no base food elevations since the site is not within the areas of
100-yr flood but only within a special flood hazard area with a 1 foot depth of shallow
flood with elevations relative to the existing ground elevation per the survey.
2. The danger to the individual owner is none . There are no structures currently on
Parcel I .
3. The danger of materials moving onto other lands is small and the operator of the
contractor's yard must following the County guidelines for securing stored materials
and equipment.
4 . The rural zoning allows for small contractor's yards and the storage area borders other
rural zoned properties .
5. The site is accessible to ordinary and emergency vehicles in case of an emergency. A
turnaround space is available to the south of the contractor's yard and the slopes of the
existing driveway area between 2-8% to the storage area . The County may ask that an
access easement be created connecting the public road network to the turnaround if
required by the Fire Marshall.

6. No services required for the contractor area during and after floods due to lack of
public streets and utilities.
7. The 1977 FEMA map show the site as Zone AO with velocities of 4 feet per second
with the mapped shallow flow of I' in depth for the I 00-yr storm. No debris flow
mapping exists in this area that HCE is aware of from the research. The site grading
that is occurred is minor . Only the east end of the yard where a flat platform has been
cut out has any cut/fill (approximately 250 CY). There is no indication from the field
survey that the shallow flow would be act consistent with the mapped alluvial fan
shallow flooding.
8. NIA.
9. The entire property is within the Zone AO area. The located selected is furthest from
existing structures on the site.
10. The comprehensive plan reflects the area to be in low-medium density residential and
adjoins a mixed-use community commercial property to the east. This site was
rezoned from urban residential to rural recently so the contractor's yard space is now
more compatible with low density residential and the commercial.
Floodplain Analysis Submittal Requirements (Section 4-203 .0)
1. Floodplain specific site plan is included in Tab 6 of this application package .
2. The County requires that a certificate from a qualified professional engineer that states
that nonresidential flood-proofed structures meet County Standards for Nonresidential
Construction. This is not application since no structures are proposed for the
contractor yard.
3. The County requires that a certificate from a qualified professional surveyor that states
that all residential and mechanical equipment be at least I foot above the base flood
elevation. This is not applicable since no residential structures or permanent
mechanical equipment is proposed for the contractor yard .
4 . The County requires a description of the extent to which the natural drainage pattern is
altered by the project. This is discussed in paragraph 2 and 3 of this letter. The only
natural drainage paths sheet flow towards the east across the driveway to the Piceance
Energy parcel which the storage proposed would not alter and the deep draw that
encroaches on the west end of the yard that do not accept significant drainage from
any offsite basins but will channelize some onsite flow. This grading within the draw
and the slopes down to the draw will not be altered by the onsite grading.
5. The County requires an engineered drainage report per Section 3-301.B.G. of the
code. See the individual categories within section 3-301 above . This letter is stamped
by a certified professional engineer experienced in hydrology.
