I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The Applicant is requesting a permit for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on an 8.977
acre parcel located within the Rural zone district. As the property is over 4 acres, the ADU
is limited to 3,000 square feet. The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan identifies the
property as Urban Growth Area within the Town of Silt. The Town of Silt Comprehensive
Plan identifies this area as Agricultural / Rural Residential Reserve. Access to the site is
an existing driveway and private roadways from County Road 214. The site has adequate
areas for off-street parking and snow storage for the proposed ADU and other existing
uses on the property.
The proposed ADU is to be located above an existing detached garage that was built in
early 2017. A shared water well, shared private access drive, and shared Onsite
Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) have been proposed to serve both the primary
and Accessory Dwelling Units on the property.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE
The property is located directly north of the Town of Silt and within the Urban Growth
area for the Town. The property is accessed off a private access road from County Road
214. Uses within 1500 feet include primarily residential and agricultural. The property
currently has a primary dwelling unit built and permitted in 1987, a two story garage (ADU
is to be located on second level) that was built and permitted in March, 2017, an
Accessory Solar Energy System that is understood to not require County permitting (15
feet or less off the ground, meets setbacks, and is rated at <15Kw), an agricultural
production field, and a permitted Communication Facility (Resolution 2008-133 — See
Exhibits 8 and 9).

III. WAIVER REQUESTS FROM STANDARDS
The Applicant has not requested any waivers from the Standards.
IV. AUTHORITY — APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
A. The Land Use Tables contained in Section 3-403 of the Land Use and
Development Code, designates an Accessory Dwelling Unit within the Rural zone district
as requiring Administrative Review.
B. Section 4-103 of the Land Use and Development Code sets forth the
Administrative Review Procedures by which the current Application is being considered.
C. The Application submittal requests two waivers from submittal requirements.

of the completeness review.
D. Article 7 of the Land Use and Development Code sets forth General approval
standards in Division 1, General Resource Protection Standards in Division 2 and Site
Planning and Development Standards in Division 3. Accessory Dwelling Units are also
4
subject to Section 7-701. The standards are addressed in the Application submittals and
in the Staff Analysis section of the Staff Report.
V. PUBLIC AND REFERRAL COMMENTS
The Applicant has provided documentation that all required notice mailings have been
completed in accordance with the LUDC. Two public comments from adjacent property
owners, Sharon Fazzi and Paul and Connie Ritter, were received as a result of the public
notice. Public and referral Comments received on the Application are attached as
Exhibits and summarized below:
A. Garfield County Consulting Engineer, Chris Hale, Mountain Cross Engineering
(Exhibit 4):
1. Based on current Garfield County OWTS standards the septic tank
should be a 1,500 gallon tank for 5 bedrooms (2 in the ADU and 3 in the
residence).
2. The well pump test did not include information on well recovery/recharge.
The Applicant should provide additional information or opinion as to the
impact of the well on the long term yield of the aquifer.
3. There are high levels of secondary contaminants' in the well water such
as total dissolved solids, hardness, sulfate, etc. It is advised that the Owner
contact a professional to determine if treatment is warranted.
B. Garfield County Road and Bridge (Exhibit 3): Road and Bridge has no concerns
with the request.
C. Sharon Fazzi (Exhibit 6): Concerns related to traffic volume on private access road
to the subject parcel as a result of the ADU.
D. Paul and Connie Ritter (Exhibit 7): Concerned about sharing the driveway, the
communication facility, solar array, barn, converting hay field to hemp, rental use of the
ADU, running custom hay business from the property.
E. Town of Silt (Exhibit 10): Concerns regarding general County development
impacting Town roads and general County distribution of HUTF funds to the Town.

VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
Article 7, Division 1: General Standards
1. Section 7-101: Compliance with Zone District Use Regulations
The development on the property is in general conformance with the dimensional
standards for the Rural zone district.
2. Section 7-102: Conformance with Comprehensive Plan and compliance with IGAs
The County Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as Urban Growth Area for the
Town of Silt. According to the Town of Silt Comprehensive Plan of 2009, the parcel is
within the Agricultural Rural Residential Reserve (AG -RURAL). The Town of Silt
Comprehensive Plan has the following language regarding this designation:
Those properties within the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation of
"Agricultural Rural Residential Reserve" are properties that may develop on
a small scale within the County, but should not be subdivided to smaller
than I unit per ten (10) acres, unless required to cluster with density between
four (4) and eight (8) units per acre with central water and wastewater
systems, and maintain the majority of property as open space or agricultural
production. These areas are critical for the Town because they serve as a
buffer between urban and rural land uses, and should remain such a buffer
until the Town has adequately developed and/or re -developed its infill lots.
Those lots that the County has subdivided into two (2) acre lots are
generally not acceptable for annexation and development within the Town
due to the difficult physical nature of infrastructure construction on small lots
as well as the costs associated with such infrastructure construction.
Further, two (2) acre lots do not present a positive situation for the Town's
Planning & Zoning Commission and Board because these boards cannot
easily review a project's inclusion into the Town with respect to the Town's
Master Plans for water, wastewater, streets, trails, sidewalks, parks, open
space and administration functions. Further, the properties in the
Agricultural Rural Residential Reserve areas typically have sensitive
drainage and topographical features that limit the inclusion into the Town's
urban setting, since much of the land associated with a County subdivision
must be preserved as jurisdictional wetlands, floodplain, slopes of greater
than thirty (30) percent, irrigation ditches and the like. Occasionally, the
interface between urban and rural land uses can present problems for both
Town landowners and County landowners with regards to noise, traffic,
agricultural activities, farm animals and dust, and for these reasons, the
Town should be very careful in choosing parcels to annex, so as not to upset
the balance between annexed and un -annexed land.

Referral comments from the Town of Silt (See Exhibit 10) do not present specific objection
to this ADU request at this location, however the letter does note disappointment with the
amount of money the County transfers to the Town for road infrastructure. While the
Town's concerns are understood, the policies and laws surrounding HUTF funding and
road transfers are outside the scope of this application and is not reflected in the review
criteria for this request.
3. Section 7-103: Compatibility
The proposed use is located in a rural area outside the Town of Silt and is unlikely to
significantly alter or impact the character of the area as the ADU is proposed to be located
on the second floor of an existing garage. The areas surrounding the subject property are
predominantly residential and agricultural in nature. It is understood that a portion of the
property is used for agriculture (hay), which as a Right to Farm County, is a use by right
within the Rural zone district. Further, comments from an adjacent property owner noted
an alleged intent to plant hemp on the subject parcel is the future. It is worth noting that
hemp is considered agriculture by the County and is similarly a use by right that does not
require a County land use permit.
7
Several compatibility issues were noted by an adjacent property owner (See Exhibit 7).
As noted previously, the property currently has a primary dwelling unit built and permitted
in 1987, a two story garage (ADU is to be located on second level) that was built and
permitted in March, 2017, an Accessory Solar Energy System that is understood to not
require County permitting (15 feet or less off the ground, meets setbacks, and is rated at
<15Kw), an agricultural production field, and a permitted Communication Facility
(Resolution 2008-133 — See Exhibits 8 and 9). Based on Staff review, there are currently
no compliance issues with the subject parcel. In addition, Section 3-402(B) of the LUDC
allows for Multiple Principal Uses on a single lot so long as they meet applicable
regulations within that use category.
4. Section 7-104: Sufficient, Adequate, Legal and Physical Source of Water
The ADU is to be served by an existing well on the property. This well, Permit Number
79819-F, states that "The use of groundwater from this well is limited to ordinary
household purposes inside one (1) single family dwelling, one (1) accessory dwelling unit
(ADU), the irrigation of not more than 16,000 square feet of home gardens and lawns,
and the watering of six (6) domestic animals." As a result of this language, it appears that
the well is legally able to serve both the primary and accessory dwelling units.
The application was referred to the Division of Water Resources, however no comments
were received.
Water quantity testing revealed that the well averaged 7 gallons per minute over the 4
hour pump test. The pump test, which was conducted on May 12, 2016 by Rays Well
Done Pump Service, LLC, provided the following statement: "The well is adequate for a
single family home and ADU. Well production may vary throughout the year." Comments
received from the Garfield County designated engineer indicates the following (See
Exhibit 4): "The well pump test did not include information on well recovery/recharge. The
Applicant should provide additional information or opinion as to the impact of the well on
the long term yield of the aquifer." As a result, while it looks like the well produces
adequately to serve the single family dwelling unit and ADU, additional information is
necessary regarding well recovery / recharge. Staff recommends a condition of approval
that additional information be provided regarding well recovery / recharge. This
information should be reviewed and accepted by the County designated engineer prior to
issuance of the Land Use Change Permit.
The water quality of the well met applicable EPA standards. As a result, the well appears
to meet this LUDC standard. Comments received from the County designated engineer
regarding water quality are as follows (See Exhibit 4): "There are high levels of secondary
contaminants in the well water such as total dissolved solids, hardness, sulfate, etc. It is
advised that the Owner contact a professional to determine if treatment is warranted."
Since the water quality meets applicable minimum standards, Staff suggests a condition
that recommends, but not require, the property owner contact a professional regarding
water treatment for the identified secondary contaminants.
8
5. Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems
The Applicant is proposing to utilize an existing Onsite Wastewater Treatment System
(OWTS) for the proposed ADU. Through the demonstration of an approved septic permit
issued by Garfield County and review by the County designated engineer, it appears that
the existing 1250 gallon septic tank needs to be expanded to 1500 gallons to meet current
standards. The County designated engineer provided the following comments regarding
the sizing of the septic tank (See Exhibit 4): "Based on current Garfield County OWTS
standards the septic tank should be a 1,500 gallon tank for 5 bedrooms (2 in the ADU
and 3 in the residence)." Planning Staff further confirmed this calculation with the Building
Department. As a result, Staff recommends a condition that the OVVTS tank be expanded
to 1500 gallons to meet current standards. Installation of the tank expansion should be
verified by obtaining a County OVVTS permit for the expanded tank.
6. Section 7-106: Adequate Public Utilities
Adequate public utilities currently exist at the subject parcel.
7. Section 7-107: Access and Driveways
a. The application was referred to the Garfield County Road and Bridge
Department (See Exhibit 3). Dan Goin of Garfield County Road and Bridge
indicated Road and Bridge has no concerns with the proposed ADU.
b. The Applicant has stated that the driveway and private access roads meet the
design standards found in Section 7-107 for Rural Access.
c. Legal access for the private roadway to the property is demonstrated via an
easement identified on an Amended Final Plat recorded at Reception Number
842062-1.
d. A public comment letter was received from Sharon Fazzi and Paul and Connie
Ritter, adjacent property owners (See Exhibit 6 and 7, respectively), related to
traffic volumes on the private access road leading to the subject parcel. Based on
the aforementioned review of the access drive, it appears that the access road
meets the standards required by the LUDC regarding both physical dimensions
and legal access for the anticipated Average Daily Trips (ADT).
8. Section 7-108: Natural Hazards
No natural hazards have been identified on the subject parcel.
9. Section 7-109: Fire Protection
The impact area within the subject parcel has been identified as being predominantly Not
Rated with some areas having a High level of Wildfire Susceptibility in accordance with
9
Map 7 of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. The parcel is located within the
Colorado River Fire Protection District service area. The application was referred to the
Colorado River Fire Protection District, however, no comments were received. As the
wildfire hazard is not considered Very High, it is Staffs opinion that wildfire hazard in this
area is within manageable levels.
Article 7, Division 2: General Resource Protection Standards
10. Section 7-201 Agricultural Lands
The proposed development is above an existing garage on the subject property. It is not
anticipated that the proposed development would adversely affect neighboring
agricultural uses or agricultural uses on the subject parcel.
11. Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas
As the ADU is proposed to be located above an existing garage, wildlife impacts are
expected to be minimal and similar to those associated with a single family residence. As
a result, no significant impact to wildlife habitat is expected.
12. Section 7-203 Protection of Waterbodies
As represented, the garage where the ADU is to be located is more than the required 35
feet from an ordinary high water mark associated with a Waterbody as defined in the
LUDC. As a result, this standard is satisfied and no excessive impact to waterbodies is
anticipated.
13. Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion
The Applicant has provided a topographic map of the subject property that shows general
positive drainage from the property. As the driveways and structure are currently in place,
no significant change to the topography or drainage from the property is expected.
14. Sections 7-205 Environmental Quality
No water or air quality issues are anticipated from the proposed project. Impacts to water
and air quality are expected to be minimal and similar to those associated with a single
family residence.
15. Section 7-206 Wildfire Hazards
The impact area of the subject property is identified as Not Rated with some locations
identified as High according to Map 7, Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index of the Community
Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). In addition, no slopes over 30% have been identified
and no fire chimneys are known to exist on the property. As a result and since no portion
of the property is identified as being Very High, it is Staff's opinion that the wildfire hazard
10
in this area is within manageable levels.
16. Section 7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards
As noted in Section 8 of this Staff Report, no natural and geologic hazards have been
identified on the subject property.
17. Section 7-208 Reclamation
Minimal, if any, disturbance is anticipated as a result of the proposed ADU. The driveways
are in place and the structure to be designated as the ADU is existing.
Article 7, Division 3, Site Planning and Development Standards
18. Section 7-301 Compatible Design:
It is Staff's opinion based on representations in the application and since the residential
ADU is to be located above an existing garage that this residential use is generally
compatible with surrounding residential and agricultural land uses.
19. Section 7-302 Off- Street Parking and Loading Standards:
The Applicant has demonstrated through site plans that adequate off-street parking exists
for the ADU and primary dwelling unit.
20. Sections 7-303 Landscaping Standards:
The LUDC specifically exempts ADUs from Section 7-303.
21. Section 7-304 Lighting:
Staff recommends a condition of approval that any exterior lighting comply with the
Standards outlined in Section 7-304.
22. Section 7-305 Snow Storage Standards:
The property has adequate snow storage areas that are in compliance with County
standards=
23. Section 7-306 Trail and Walkway Standards:
No recreational or community facility access areas are proposed.
11
Article 7, Division 7, Accessory Dwelling Unit
24. Maximum Floor Area:
As the property is over 4 acres, the ADU is required to be limited to 3,000 square feet.
Staff suggests a condition of approval that the ADU be limited to 3,000 square feet or less
in size.
25. Ownership Restriction:
The Applicant and Owner understand that the ADU is restricted to leasehold interests and
may be used for residential or Home Office / Business use only.
26. Compliance with Building Code:
Staff recommends a Condition of Approval requiring the Applicant to obtain all necessary
building permits from Garfield County.
27. Minimum Lot Area:
The Applicant has 8.977 acres and as a result the minimum lot area requirement of at
least 2 acres in the Rural zone district is satisfied.
28. Entrance to Dwelling Unit:
The Applicant is proposing the ADU to be a separate building from the primary dwelling
unit. As a result, the ADU will comply with this standard.
VII. SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends a finding that the proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit is in conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan of 2030 as well as the Land Use and Development Code.
Staff, therefore, recommends approval with conditions of the Self ADU application.
Suggested Findings
1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the Administrative Review
Land Use Change Permit.
2. That with the adoption of conditions, the application is in general conformance with
the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, as amended.
3. That with the adoption of conditions, the application has adequately met the

Dear David:

EXHIBIT
This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Self Accessory Dwelling
Unit Application. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The review
generated the following comments:
1. Based on current Garfield County OWTS standards the septic tank should be a 1,500 gallon
tank for 5 bedrooms (2 in the ADU and 3 in the residence).
2. The well pump test did not include information on well recovery/recharge. The Applicant
should provide additional information or opinion as to the impact of the well on the long term yield
of the aquifer.
3. There are high levels of secondary contaminants in the well water such as total dissolved solids,
hardness, sulfate, etc. It is advised that the Owner contact a professional to determine if treatment
is warranted.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,

When I was approached about this around a year ago it was only going to be a garage and then the ADU unit was going
to be added for the intermittent use of their daughter Kim. I'm objecting to an ADU unit as a rental because the road to
this property is about 20 feet from my house and sometimes Steve is not very conscientious about his rate of speed that
he is driving on the road. When we moved there around 1971 this was a ranch and there was no road. I'm afraid that if
they rent this property out there could possibly be a lot of additional traffic.
So basically for intermittent use I don't have a problem but as a fulltime rental I do and that is only because of the
traffic.
Thank you

I would like the Garfield County Director of Community Development to reject the
application of Steven and Susanne Self for a ADU above their garage at 1098 214
County Road 214 Silt, CO 81652. Practical description 217903100006 for the
following reasons:
1) Over the last 20 years I had to give them access through my driveway on my
property.
2) They have allowed a Communication Company to place a 45 foot tower with a
building and fence.
3)They have built a large two large solar panels approx 8 by 15 off the ground.
4)They have built a large two story barn that! have to look down on.
5)They now are going to kill their beautiful hay field and plant hemp. Who knows
what that will bring.
6)1 know by asking, they will eventually rent the ADU causing more ware on my
drive way and my quality of life.
7)They also run a custom haying business from above mentioned property.
When is enough, enough?

Re: Referral for Stephen and Suzanne Self Accessory Dwelling Unit
Dear Mr. Pesnichak:
EXHIBIT
� � L
On October 11, 2017, the Town of Silt staffreviewed the Self Accessory Dwelling Unit,
as Garfield County did not allow for an extension for the Town of Silt Planning & Zoning
Commission to review at its regularly scheduled meeting on November 7, 2017. The
Town understands from the application that Stephen and Suzanne Self wish to construct
an accessory dwelling unit on the second story of a detached garage on their 8.98 acre
property located at 1098 County Road 214, also known as Parcel 1 of the Antlers Orchard
Subdivision, as shown on the Amended Plat recorded as Reception # 842062. The
applicants wish to utilize the existing domestic well and septic system that is currently
used for the existing home. The applicants plan to use the Silt 1-70 interchange, the
roundabout, Main Street, and 7th Street (if not other streets in Town), prior to utilization
of County Road 214 (extension of 7th Street) adjacent to the subject property.
Although the Town would prefer the applicants connect to the Town's wastewater
collection system, it does appear to be cost -prohibitive, as the distance from the proposed
ADU is further than four hundred feet from the nearest Town wastewater main.
The Town is, however, concerned with Garfield County traffic that is generated from
residential and commercial development, and subsequently affects Town streets. In this
case, 7th Street is a very heavily traveled Garfield County route, as is Main Street and the
Interstate -70 interchange. While the Town does not own the interchange, CDOT has
indicated that the overpass is not to code and will be in need of serious
repair/replacement in the near future. The Town, with just over 3,000 residents, simply
cannot fund this repair/replacement on its own, as Garfield County has been a major
contributor of traffic impact. Prior to this year, Garfield County shared HUTF monies in
excess of $40,000 annually. However, of late, Garfield County has offered a little over
$19,000 to the Town (2017, 2018), which has severely impacted the way that the Town
of Silt can maintain those streets that Garfield County developments impact greatly. The
Town would like to take this opportunity to again sound the alarm for a concerted
coordination between Garfield County and the Town of Silt, with regards to traffic
231 N. 7th Street, P.O. Box 70, Silt, Colorado 81652 (970) 876-2353 Office (970) 876-2937 Fax
impact and the repair/replacement of those streets, traffic intersections, and the
interchange.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
