This letter is intended to address items in the Major Impact Review provided by Garfield
County including the Driveway, Access, Onsite Wastewater Treatment, and the project
in general.
I performed a site visit to the subject property on October 2"d, 2016. Access to the site is
a 13 -feet wide private shared gravel surface driveway from County Road 259. The
driveway has a flat (less than 5%) grade with a drainage ditch on the north side. The
majority of the roadway has a 6 to 8 -feet wide road shoulder on each side of the road
allowing vehicles to pull over and allow oncoming traffic to safely pass. The driveway
appears to be well maintained and should serve well as a safe and passable access for
the Kennel.
The Kennel itself is located in an enclosed building. The grading and drainage around the
building appear to be functioning properly. There are floor drains inside the Kennel that
are connected to the existing onsite wastewater treatment system. The owners report
that they mop the Kennel daily and flush about 4 -gallons of water per day into the floor
drain. Solid waste is being collected and hauled offsite. This small amount of water will
not have a significant impact on the existing septic system and should continue to
function in the same manner as previously before the Kennel. No improvements to the
onsite water treatment system are needed.
The subject property is approximately 10 -acres and there are groves of thick trees to the
south and east of the Kennel that should serve to help block noise if the dogs are
allowed outside. Otherwise the property appears to serve well for the intended use. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call at 970-625-4933 x 114.
