I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The proposed lots are located in District F, Rural Areas with Severe
Environmental Constraints, as designated on the Comprehensive Plan,
Management Districts Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site is located in a rural area with land
uses including single family residences, and open space.
Significant slopes are found on the site and a small stream runs
through proposed Lot 1.
B. Project Description: The applicant proposes to divide the site
into 3 lots approximately 3.01, 9.74, and 205.25 acres in size.
The proposed lots will be served by a central water system
(115,000 GPD, 2,000 gallons storage) and a central septic system
designed for 10 dwelling units, currently serving 2.
C. History: Numerous smaller parcels have been created out of the
present parcel, however no splits since 1973 have been recorded.
III.MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Soils information on the site indicates severe limitations to
development based on slopes, stones in the soil, and depth to
rock.
2. Verbal comments from adjacent property owners served by the
central water system have indicated problems with water pressure
and concern whether the system is capable of handling additional
dwelling units.
3. The applicant's submittals have established a legal source of
water (.177 cfs) for the subdivision. The adequacy of the system
to serve additional dwelling units is dependent on the number of
units presently served and should be determined prior to any
final approval.
• •
4. No records of any inspections or issuance of permits for the
existing septic system were found in Garfield County Sanitation
Department Records. Confirmation from the designing engineer
should be submitted establishing the ability of the system to
handle additional dwelling units.
5. The lot configuration proposed by the applicant appears to result
in the creation of an additional 2 lots less than 35 acres in
size due to adjacent property boundaries. Clarification and
correction of the legal descriptions of the proposed lots to
eliminate this situation should be accomplished.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. The proper posting and public notice was provided as required for
the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners.
2. That the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners was
extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and
issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard
at that meeting.
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed
exemption is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals,
convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of
Garfield County.
