PRACTICAL LOCATION: 140 APACHE DR, NEW CASTLE 81647
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Variance
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property owner is requesting a variance from the setback requirements in the
Residential Manufactured Home Park (RMHP) Zone District. The property is identified as
Lot 1A of the Elk Creek Subdivision and is on Apache Drive. The 2013 Land use and
Development Code, as amended (LUDC) states that a lot front yard setback in the zone
district is 25 feet.
A 1744 square foot home was built on the property in 1988 with a shed constructed in
2010. Due to the location of the home and restrictive topography on the parcel, it is
understood that the owner is not able to enlarge the shed without encroaching into the 25’
front yard setback. It is understood that the construction of a 4’ high retaining wall would be
required on the road side of the shed in order to allow enough room for construction. The
applicant should include the area for the retaining wall in with the request for the variance.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Staff
County Attomey's Office
Jwrc24,2014
Mineral Interest Research
FROM:
DATE:
RE:
Mineral interests may be severed from surface right interests in real property. Colorado revised
statute 24-65.5-rc3 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 ("L[IDC") Section 4-
101(EXlXb)(4) requires written notice to owners of rnineral interests in the subject property "as
such olvners can be identified through the records in the ofñce of the Clerk and Recorder or
Assessor, or through other means."
Xt is the duty of the applicant to notiff mineral interest owners. The following is a suggested
process to research mineral interests:
1. Review the current ownership deed for the property (i.e. Wananty 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 offrce 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 o\ilners who have provided such information to the
Assessor's office so this may not provide any information, depending on your property.
- MEMO
hne24,2014
Page2
4, Research the legal description of the subject property with the Clerk and Reoorder'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 screeÐ, 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 hansferred by deed and recorded
in the Clerk and Recorder's offiice.
7. Enter the name of the mineral interest o\ilner as the Grantor in the Clerk and Recorder's
computer to see if the mineral interest was fansferred. 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 trnable to
determine mineral rights ownership by yourself, consider hiring an attomey or landman.
Attorneys and landmen specialize in determining mineral rights ownership, but they charge a fee
for their services.
