Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale . Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements. Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey URL: Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area . A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required. This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below. Soil Survey Area: Rifle Area, Colorado, Parts of Garfield and Mesa Counties Survey Area Data: Version 9, Sep 22, 2015 Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1 :50,000 or larger. Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Jul 14, 2010-Ma r 2, 2017 The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident. 9/29/2017 Page 2 of 3 Soil Map-Rifle Area, Colorado, Parts of Garfield and Mesa Counties Map Unit Legend Map Unit Symbol 8 28 30 34 49 50 51 58 65 67 73 Totals for Area of Interest USDA Natural Resources "" Conservation Service Map Unit Name Acres in AOI Atencio-Azeltine complex, 1 to 3 percent slopes Heldt clay loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes Heldt clay loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes Ildefonso stony loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes Olney loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes Olney loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes Olney loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes Potts-1 ldefonso complex, 12 to 25 percent slopes Torrifluvents, nearly level Torriorthents-Rock outcrop complex, steep Water Web Soil Survey National Cooperative Soil Survey 13 .5 80.2 4.8 13.9 7 .2 31.1 10.4 17.0 26.8 0.5 23.4 228.8 Peach Valley River Park Festival Percent of AOI 5 .9% 35 .1% 2.1% 6.1% 3.1% 13 .6% 4.6% 7.4% 11.7% 0.2% 10.2% 100.0% 9/29/2017 Page 3 of 3 1. Supplied to Patrick Waller 10/20/17 via email. 2. Included in this submittal and will be added to the Land Use Plan for BOCC review 3. PVRP Land Use Application Additional Information Section and Table 7-107 Roadway Standards A waiver request by PVRP LLC shall be considered based on the following criteria; 1. It achieves the intent of the subject standard to the same or better degree than the subject standard; Response: The project offers three historical access points to River Frontage Road for use during the event use weekends. During normal park hours, one main entrance with a parking area approximately 100 ft from the entrance shall be the only internal use of rods by the public for vehicular traffic. Periods with increased traffic shall be supported by local authorities as mentioned in plan. The intent of the development plan is conservation. The conservation plan shall improve existing access for safe and adequate travel on internal roads. Most internal roads shall only be used during event periods for mobilization in and out. A gravel circulation loop and hard surface path has been designed in the public parking area for safe internal travel during higher occupancy. The site offers adequate area for access from County Roads with three different suitable roads for travel to bordering towns. The plan for traffic only on designated weekends shall allow Garfield County Sherriff and Colorado State Patrol to assist with traffic at said intersections as needed. A complete plan shall be submitted to Garfield County Community Development 90 days prior to any event. 2. It imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through compliance with the specific requirements of this Code. Response: The property's main access point is located in the middle of the property with a X mile distance each way to adjoining property owners. The main entrance shall be marked for safe entrance and exit of park during non-event hours. The park is estimated to see approximately 20 trips a day by fisherman and outdoor enthusiast and not considered to be a impact 4. PVRP Land Use Application Additional Information Section and Table 7-301 Compatible Design 2(8) for Noise A waiver request by PVRP LLC shall be considered based on the following criteria: 1. The Applicant shows good cause for the requested waiver; Response; The site is in rural Garfield County but lies adjacent to the area's largest noise polluters, 1-70 and the Colorado River. Our temporary use of the property and increased noise shall have minimal effects on the surrounding area. Applicants have requested a variance from noise DB limits from 7-lOpm for the event weekend. Said noise shall be above state levels at that period but shall not severely impact adjacent owners. The area used for event space is recessed from the highway level and not viewable. 2. The project size, complexity, anticipated impacts, or other factors support a waiver; Response: Applicant has chosen said location for special use due to the external factors that already affect the land. The land is bordered on the north by 1-70 and the railroad corridor. 1-70 highway noise is quite loud in the area. This constant noise of cars and trucks is 24hrs a day with trains contributing nearly hourly. To the South is the Colorado River with a large hillside of BLM. The river acts as a noise break for local residents in the area as highway noise can only be muffled once in close proximity to the water. The event plan has taken into account residents to the East and West by utilizing these portions of the property for storage and parking. All efforts will be made to accommodate local homeowners through sound and sight mitigation prctices . 3. The waiver does not compromise a proper and complete review; Response: The temporary use of the property does not severely impact the long term goals or planning of the area. Said noise levels shall impact the area with increased levels for only 6-9 hours out of the year. Such impacts do not negatively impact the rural nature but do assist local community in tourism based economy. 4. The information is not material to describing the proposal or demonstrating compliance with approval criteria. A complete Compatible Design for Noise does not fit the approval for said use of the property. Said use shall be a natural park with public river access for 360 plus days a year. Buffering shall be used for the 3-6 days of increases noise levels during events. Peach Valley River Park LLC Attn. Jason Segal 3720 S.
