A tract of.land situated in Sections 35 and 36, Township 4 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M., and more fully described in a Warranty Deed recorded at Reception No. 810168 with the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder. The Parcel is known by Assessor's Parcel No. 1925-363-00- 064. The site is 54 acres in size. Rural (R) I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The Applicant is requesting approval for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the property. The ADU is proposed to be a two bedroom unit, approximately 2,000 sq.ft. in size. It will also include parking inside a two car garage. The ADU will be served by a shared well and a new onsite waste water treatment system. A single family residence and agricultural buildings also exist on the property. Electric service exists to the property and access is proposed to be an existing private driveway off of County Road 243 with a short extension to serve the ADU. The Applicant has requested waivers from a number of submittal requirements most of which are related to the small scale of the proposal, limited areas of disturbance, and timing for completing water supply plan requirements. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE The site slopes moderately down to the east toward Main Elk Creek. The developed portion of the property includes a single family residence, several agricultural buildings, sheds and barns. The majority of the site adjacent to the county road and along the creek is maintained as pasture and hay fields as part of the ranching operation. Main Elk Creek crosses through the site but is separated from the proposed ADU by approximately 360 ft. and it is approximately 25 ft. lower in elevation. Some native vegetation is found outside of the developed areas and along the edges of the hay fields. Applicant's Property Vicinity Map III. PUBLIC AND REFERRAL COMMENTS A.

STAFF ANALYSIS Article 7 of the Land Use and Development Code sets forth General Standards in Division 3 1, Resource Protection Standards in Division 2 and Site Planning and Development Standards in Division 3. Specific standards for ADU uses are also found in Section 7-701. Review of the applicable standards and waiver request are found in the following section. Article 7, Division 1: General Standards 1. Section 7-101: Compliance with Zone District Use Regulations Review of the Application submittals indicates that the proposed use will comply with the Zone District Regulations for the Rural Zone District including setbacks and lot coverage provisions. The Applicant has provided a site plan with details on . the existing improvements including ADU location and parking area. 2. Section 7-102: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and IGAs The site is located in the Residential Medium High (MH) designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The proposed density of two units on 54 acres is well within the recommended density of 2 - < 6 acres per dwelling unit. 3. Section 7-103: Compatibility The proposal is consistent with surrounding land uses that include rural residential, agricultural, and ranching activities. The ADU will result in minimal site disturbance as it is located generally within an area that previously had improvements (double wide mobile home and perhaps original homestead). The proposal is consistent with the existing uses on the site. 4. Section 7-104: Source of Water A. The proposed ADU will be served by sharing an existing well on the property. The Application submittal included the well permit proposed to serve the ADU. The Division of Water Resources referral comments confirm the legal ability of the applicant to utilize the well to serve the proposed ADU. B. The Applicant has requested a waiver to allow completion of the required pump test prior to receiving a building permit. The pump test requirement needs to be met prior to issuance of the land use change permit and needs to confirm the adequacy of the pump to serve the two dwelling units. C. The Applicant has provided detailed water quality test results completed in 2012. The test includes the majority of elements required by the current code but does not cover all of the required elements (i.e. alpha beta radioactivity). While the past test demonstrated that the samples were below the required/referenced standards a new test including all required elements needs to be provided. 4 ARRA (1 n:s7t:srl.s4r... 1, 9 0 SF.. • C fMa y111W1 i SWALR h20: FIC ROVIV AA'!N ran A1141 EXCERPT FROM GRADING & DRAINAGE PLAN SHOWING KEY SITE PLAN FEATURES F 4,ArtGi C`alYr%,f FSi iT, w,y � wpm • /1 r rr rcrua�r i :+Han 4 rnmax rsusa. m a.ctc6 rmeormxr r anew M iK 41111:A•+Ir Per -Vi ' us �: DAs u ro ehnn,]r_rp,rop`. triEkin. `.r,, r>{.,t'suVW ,c- U“)-acV (iJvT`.A. PL. r•.nrr p r,. 5. Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater systems The primary residence on the site is currently served by an existing OWTS. The Applicant proposes construction of a new OWTS to serve the ADU. The Application submittals include engineering for the proposed system, soil testing completed by HP Geotech including percolation test results, and site plans showing the proposed location for the system. The ADU approvals shall require use of an engineered OWTS as proposed and compliance with the application representations and recommendation contained in the geotechnical report by HP Geotech. At the time of permitting for the OWTS confirmation of compliance with all setbacks shall be required. 6. Section 7-106: Public Utilities All other utilities to serve the proposed ADU are existing and in place on the property. Electric line extensions and service will be coordinated with Xcel Energy. 7. Section 7-107: Access and Roadways A. The site is served by an existing access driveway off of County Road 243. The 5 Application and various site plans/grading plans indicate that the driveway is approximately 10 — 12 ft. in width with grades of 10 — 12%. It has an asphalt and compacted gravel type surface and generally drains to the downslope (north) side of the road. Adequate areas for drainage appear to be provided. No major curves exist along the access with the exception where the driveway to serve the ADU exits the main driveway. ADU LOCATION OVERVIEW OF THE SITE AND ACCISS DRIVEWAY B. The driveway is represented by the Applicant to meet the roadway standards. However, the applicant needs to confirm that the driveway meets the width requirement and the turning radium onto the ADU driveway needs to be addressed. The Applicant will need to provide documentation from a professional engineer that the road width and turning radius meet the code or address the roadway waiver criteria including a determination that the driveway provides acceptable access for the ADU. C. Site Plan and survey documentation indicate that a portion of the access driveway crosses property owned by the BLM prior to its connecting to the County Road. The Application explains the historic use of the driveway, however, it does not provide adequate legal documentation of access on the alignment of the existing driveway. The Applicant has provided a supplemental legal opinion supporting their use of the existing driveway (see attached). The Applicant's property does contact the County Road at two other locations where legal access can be established. In order to utilize the existing driveway documentation of a lease from the BLM or a finding by the courts that a prescriptive use right exists for the driveway are needed. 6 D. The Colorado River Fire Rescue referral comments did not indicate any concerns regarding access the site for fire protection. E. The Applicant also requested a waiver from the submittal requirement for a traffic study based on the minimal amount of new traffic generated. The County Road and Bridge Department did not indicate any concerns with the proposal. 8. Section 7-108: Land Subject to Natural Hazards No significant natural hazards are noted for the property in the area proposed for the ADU. Slopes on the site are moderate in the range of 10%. The geotechnical report — subsoils study by HP Geotech (dated 4/30/12) provides recommendation for foundation design, drainage, and percolation results. The study did not identify any significant concerns. 9. Section 7-109: Fire Protection The Application was referred to the Colorado River Fire Rescue fire protection district. The District indicated no concerns with the proposal. Article 7, Division 2: General Resource Protection Standards 10. Section 7-201 Agricultural Lands The Application is compatible with agricultural lands and uses on the site and has limited additional site disturbance. No irrigation ditches have been identified in the vicinity of the proposed ADU. Irrigation ditches which may have been abandoned are located on the opposite side of Main Elk Creek from the ADU. A drainage swale shown on the site plan will need to be relocated slightly to accommodate the proposed ADU garage construction. No changes to the ranch operation will result from the construction of the ADU as it is located in an area previously utilized for residential purposes. 11. Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas The proposed ADU will have limited additional site disturbance. Trash should be stored within the structure or garage to avoid wildlife conflicts. CPW did not provide comments on the Application. 12. Section 7-203 Protection of Wetlands and Waterbodies The proposed ADU is located in the developed area of the site. It is more than 300 ft. from Main Elk Creek and approximately 25 ft. above it in elevation. Proper design and permitting of the proposed OWTS will be required. No site disturbance is anticipated outside of the area proposed for placement of the ADU. 13. Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion, 7-205 Environmental Quality 7 Limited site disturbance is anticipated by the Application. Drainage details including storm water drainage for the ADU should be provided as part of the building permit application. The OWTS will require proper permitting and inspection by the County. 14. Section 7-206 Areas Subject to Wildfire Hazards The County Wildland Fire Hazard Maps indicate a low wild fire hazard designation on the Applicant's site. The roof material should be made of non-combustible materials per Section 7-206 (C). Any future site improvements/landscaping associated with the ADU should utilize the Colorado State Forest Service Firewise construction guidelines.

Section 7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards No significant geologic hazards are noted in the Application submittals or the Geotechnical report prepared by HP Geotech. Slopes in the area proposed for the ADU are generally 10% or less. 16. Section 7-208 Reclamation The site will be utilized for residential purposes with limited area of disturbance for the ADU construction. Revegetation of disturbed areas should be required. 8 Article 7, Division 3, Site Planning and Development Standards 17. Section 7-301: Compatible Design The proposal reflects consistency with the character of existing improvements on the site. A preliminary sketch of the proposed ADU was provided with the submittals. Preliminary ADU Designs WEST ELEVATION 18. Section 7-302: Off -Street Parking The site plan shows a two car garage and ample space for additional parking. 19. Section 7-303: Landscaping Plan ADU applications are exempt from Landscaping Plan submittals, however, the site reflects typical rural residential and ranch landscaping. 20. Section 7-304: Lighting The Application should be required to utilize code compliant lighting. 21. Section 7-305: Snow Storage: The Application and site plan demonstrate adequate room for snow storage. 22. Section 7-306: Trails and Walkways Given the rural area of the site these standards are generally not applicable. 23. Section 7-701: Accessory Dwelling Unit Standards 9 A. Maximum Floor Area: The Application is in compliance (< 3,000 sq.ft.) B. Ownership Restriction: The Application is in compliance. C. Building Code: Compliance will be required. D. Minimum Lot Size: The Application is in compliance (>2 acres lot size) E. Entrance: The ADU will have a separate entrance. V. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1.

June 17, 2016 Mr. Glenn Hartman Garfield County Planning 108 8th Street, Suite 401 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Civil and Environmental Consulting and Design ______) RE: Zurcher Accessory Dwelling Unit: GAPA-04-16-8444 Dear Glenn: This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the proposed Zurcher Accessory Dwelling Unit. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The review generated the following comments: 1. The Applicant needs to provide a pump test for the well but propose to do this as a condition of approval. This seems acceptable since the well is existing and already serves a residence. 2. The site access crosses from County right-of-way through BLM land to the property. The Applicant states that they have notified BLM but it is unclear what instrument will be used by the BLM to solidify the easement. 3. It appears that the proposed septic system for the ADU is very near the trackorport building. The Applicant should verify applicable setbacks are met. Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely. Mount �'n Cross Erg, e ng, Inc. Hale, PE 8261/2 Grand Avenue, Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 P: 970.945.5544 F: 970.945.5558 www.mountaincross-eng.com COLORADO Division of Water Resources Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821 Denver, CO 80203 MEMORANDUM Permit No. 288085 Rec No. 3654759 Date: June 28, 2016 To: Glenn Hartmann, Garfield County, Community Development Department From: Justina P. Mickelson, Physical Science Researcher/Scientist Re: Zurcher Accessory Dwelling Unit; GAPA-04-16-8444 We have reviewed the proposal to construct an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on a parcel of approximately 54 acres in size, located in part of the E1/2 of the E1/2 of Section 35 and in part of the W1/2 of the W1/2 of Section 36, Township 4 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M., at 4110 County Road 243, New Castle. The property currently has an existing single family residence, access road and utilities in place. The applicant does not propose to create a new lot or change the size of the existing lot. The current water supply to the lot is provided by a well, currently permitted under Permit No. 288085, which the applicant has indicated would be shared between the single family dwelling and the ADU. The applicant also indicated an existing onsite wastewater treatment system currently serves the existing single family dwelling and proposes to construct a new onsite wastewater treatment system to separately serve the ADU. According to our records, Well Permit No. 288085 (Monckton Well No. 1) was issued on April 24, 2012, pursuant to Division 5 Water Court Case No. 05CW0167, for an existing well located in the NE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 35, Twp. 4 South, Rng. 91 West. The use of groundwater from the well was approved for ordinary household purposes inside 3 single family dwellings, fire protection, the watering of livestock, and the irrigation of 3,000 square -feet of lawn and garden for each of the three dwellings. The pumping rate of this well shall not exceed 15 gpm. Per our records, the well was first put to beneficial use June 1, 1925 and the current permit is valid. The applicant's proposal indicates that the well currently serves a single family residence. The proposed ADU would be considered, for the purposes of well permitting, to be an additional single family dwelling. At the time of the permit issuance, the Colorado River Basin was not over -appropriated and the permit was issued on the basis that water was available for appropriation. For this type of permit, the use of ground water is limited to the historical existing uses - an expansion of use would require a new well permit. As long as the uses of the well do not exceed the historical existing uses, in particular no more than three single family dwellings, this office has no objection to the well also serving the proposed ADU. Please feel free to contact me at 303-866-3581 if you or the applicant has any questions. 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 F 303.866.3589 www.water.state.co.us Glenn Hartmann From: Kuster - CDPHE, Kent <kent.kuster©state.co.us> Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2016 9:05 AM To: Glenn Hartmann Subject: GAPA-04-16-8444 June 9, 2016 Glenn Hartmann, Senior Planner Garfield County Community Development Department 108 8th Street, Suite 401 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: File No. GAPA-04-16-8444 Dear Mr. Hartmann, The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has no comment on the Zurcher Accessory Dwelling Unit GAPA-04-16-8444.

The attachments included for the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) appear to be designed to meet the criteria of Garfield County regulations. Care should be taken so that issues with the septic system do not allow wastewater to enter the drainage swale which it seems could enter Main Elk Creek. 2. The water quality test for the well analyzed for a sufficient range of pollutants and showed detection of several constituents, one of which was above the EPA's advised level. Public Health recommends a water quality treatment system if the applicant intends to use it for drinking water. I was unable to determine from the application if the well currently serving the main house will also supply water for the ADU or if another will be drilled. 3. We recommend testing the home for radon after building is completed. Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the soil and is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the US after smoking. Despite the dwelling unit being on an upper floor, the potential for radon to be present in elevated concentrations still exists. Garfield County offers free radon test kits for this purpose. 4. Proper stormwater management protocols should be followed during construction and for the finished design of the building. 5. In general I thought the narrative sections of this application were lacking. There was no project description that I could find, nothing outlining water use, or a description of erosion control. It was difficult to fully understand the proposed use with only site plans. Please feel free to contact me with questions. Thank you, f&94f/hiR .

Box 791 Glenwood Springs, CO 80306 RE: Completeness Review Zurcher ADU (GAPA-04-16-8444) Dear Glenn: I am writing to you on behalf of my client, Antonia Zurcher, the applicant for the above referenced application, in response to certain items contained in the "Completeness Review" letter dated May 11, 2016 you sent to Bridger Smith. The first bullet point under item 6 of your letter states: "Show access onto the County Road and any easements that may be necessary. Survey details appear to reflect that the existing access drive crosses a portion of the BLM property." The last sentence in the third bullet point under item 7 of your letter states: "The application needs to provide evidence of easements or other rights to cross BLM property to access the County Road." It is my opinion and position on behalf of my client that no easements from the BLM are necessary under the circumstances to meet and satisfy any access requirements that may be contained in the Garfield County Land Use Code. Article VII, Division 1, Section 7-107 A. states: A. Access to Public Right -of -Way. All lots and parcels shall have legal and physical access to a public right-of-way. The subject property, known as 4110 243 County Road, New Castle, CO 81647 (the "Property"), conforms with and satisfies this standard. The Property has legal, physical and insured access to a public right-of-way. Attached is an Exhibit Map dated June 8, 2016 prepared by Bookcliff Survey Services, Inc. showing the relevant driveway and improvements portion of the Property. The existing driveway has been in place serving the Property for quite some time. This driveway served the original homestead built on the Property. And while I do not know the exact date when that was Glenn Hartmann, Senior Planner Garfield County Community Development Department RE: Completeness Review Zurcher ADU (GAPA-04-16-8444) June 17, 2016 Page 2 built, I believe it was well over 50 years ago and could be close to 100 years ago or more. Please note that the Right of Way for the County Road was conveyed to the County by deeds filed for record on March 15, 1921 as Reception Numbers 74651 and 74653. See attached. The driveway to the homestead therefore may have been in place at that time or shortly thereafter. In any event the driveway has been in place and used continuously to access that right of way for well in excess of 18 years by the owners of the Property. When Toni Zurcher acquired the Property on October 31, 2011, she obtained an owner's policy of title insurance insuring title to the Property. The title commitment (copy attached) did not reflect any exception to title regarding a lack of access to and from a public road. When no such exception is contained in the commitment this means that the title insurer is insuring that the Property has access to and from a public road. As is demonstrated by the attached Exhibit Map, the County Road abuts and crosses over the Property in areas both north and south of the existing driveway. This further demonstrates that Property has legal and physical access to County Road No. 243. I feel that under the circumstances that as a matter of law, the BLM could not prevent access to the Property over the existing driveway and there should not be any requirement on the applicant to deal with or obtain an easement from BLM. It is not necessary. The right to use the driveway in that location already exists and has been used for that purpose for a long, long time. Further the County Road directly abuts or crosses the Property and so at all times the parcel has had and will have legal and physical access to the road. Finally, that legal and physical access is insured based on the owner's policy of title insurance obtained when the Property was acquired in 2011. I trust this analysis satisfies the items pertaining to access contained in your letter and quoted above. However, should you or the County Attorney have any questions or wish to discuss this further, I am happy to be available for a phone conference at a mutually convenient time. Thank you very much for your help and cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, .Dadd c elJazJtein David G.

Policy 01-14 Waivers for Roads and Demonstration of Compliance March 3, 2014 A5 Section 7-107, Access and Roadways, of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) requires all roads to be designed to provide for "adequate and safe access" and reviewed by the designated County Engineer. The LUDC defines "road" as "a County road, State highway, public road, street or alley, or private thoroughfare which affords primary access to abutting property, excluding a driveway accessing a single property." The LUDC defines "private road" as "a right-of-way constructed, established, owned, and maintained by a private party for access exclusively to private property." Many of the roads in Garfield County are private roads in that they are gated and do not serve the general public and they pre-existed the design currently required by the County's Road Standards as defined in Table 7-107. The LUDC allows for the waiver of specific standards provided that the following criteria have been met: 1) an alternative design achieves the intent of the subject standard to the same or better degree and 2) the proposed alternative will impose no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through compliance with the specific standard (Section 4-118). In applications that include roads that do not meet current County road standards as outlined in Table 7- 107, the County has asked that Applicants request a waiver of Section 7-107.F, Design Standards, and include in the Application submittal sufficient information, prepared by a professional qualified in the specific discipline, to demonstrate that they meet the criteria outlined in Section 4-118 for granting a waiver. In doing so, the application must include: A Statement of Adequacy - The evaluation of the existing roadway and waiver will need to include a clear statement that finds that the road will be adequate for the proposed use. This statement must be signed by a professional engineer qualified in traffic engineering and licensed by the State of Colorado. To support this evaluation, the following information will be required to be provided: o Geometry of the road — A description of how the private road does/does not meet the design standards in Table 7-107. This should include a chart that compares the private road design to those standards in Table 7-107, as well as a map that shows the existing road design and highlights those areas that deviate from the standards. A narrative may also be helpful in describing the characteristics of the road as they compare to Table 7- 107 design standards. Unless available, this is not intended to imply construction -level drawings. 11Page o Safety/Structural Issues — A description of obvious safety and/or structural issues observed and a statement about how these issues will be addressed. o Maintenance — A description of how the road is and/or will be maintained. This should be supported with the submittal of any existing or proposed maintenance agreements for the road sections. o Travel Demand — An accurate count of the existing peak travel demand as well as the Average Daily Traffic on the road. This should also include the types of vehicles that currently use the road as well as the additional amount and type of traffic that the proposed use will generate through all phases of its development. Other Evidence of Compliance. In addition, Sections 7-107.A, 8, C, D, and Eare required to be addressed, which includes documentation about legal access. Sufficient evidence will be required to be submitted to demonstrate compliance with these sections of the Code. 2 1 P a g e
