HomeMy WebLinkAbout2.0 BOCC Staff Report 03.18.1996• • BOCC 3/18/96 PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS REQUEST: An exemption from the definition of subdivision. APPLICANTS: Timothy & Lynn Roe; Rebecca Williams LOCATIONS A tract of land located in Sections 13 & 24, T7S, R93W of the 6th P.M.; approximately seven (7) miles south of Rifle, along CR 319 (West Mamm Creek Road). SITE DATA: 140 Acres WATER: Shared Wells SEWER; Individual sewage disposal systems ACCESS: Access from CR 319; easements EXISTING/ADJACENT ZONING: A/R/RD I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The subject property is located within District C - Rural Areas/Minor Environmental Constraints and District E - Rural Areas Severe/Moderate Environmental Constraints as designated by the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan's Management Districts Map. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL A. Site Description: This is a 140 acre tract located approximately seven (7) miles south of Rifle along County Road 319. The property can be thought of as consisting of two (2) distinct areas. The first is the northern 70 acres which is typically gently -sloped agricultural land, whereas the southern 70 acres consists of, generally, rugged hills and valleys and in a relatively natural, wooded state. Gant Gulch and West Mamm Creek flow through the southern portion of the property and an irrigation ditch flows through the northwestern portion of the property. According to a map submitted with the application, it appears that there is a [dilapidated] cabin and a future gas well located between West Mamm Creek and Gant Gulch. See sketch map, page S • C. Adjacent Land Uses: The area is relatively remote, predominantly agricultural land with a few residences scattered along the county road. See vicinity map, page Proposal: The applicants propose to subdivide, by exemption, the 140 acre tract into five (5) lots of 10, 10, 12, 38 and 70 acres. The applicants are requesting a "regular" exemption to create four (4) of these lots and an additional lot created by a natural feature. The applicants have indicated they are seeking tits exemption in an effort to create lots for family members. • • III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. Subdivision Regulations: Section 8:52 of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations states that "No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973, and is not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad) or natural feature, preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural feature, such parcels thereby created may, in the discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation otherwise applicable;" A deed submitted with the application indicates the 140 acre tract existed in an undivided state in November of 1963, when the applicants obtained the tract from their parents. See deed, page U . Therefore, it appears this request complies with Section 8:52 (A) of the S bdivision Regulations. However, the sketch map shows an existing cabin located on what would be the 38 acre parcel and it further appears that a bridge of some sort provides access to this parcel, the future gas well, and the existing cabin. If this is the case, it is staffs interpretation that the 38 acre tract is currently being used in a joint manner and that the natural feature split requested is not valid. In light of recent and historic interpretations of the Board, staff would leave the decision up to the discretion of the Board. The Roes are the actual proponents in this application, requesting that the lots be approved to provide eventual homesites for their children. If approved, no further splits, by exemption, would be allowed on any of the lots created. B. Zoning: The subject property lies within the A/R/RD zone district, which mandates a two (2) acre minimum lot size. All proposed lots would be in excess of this minimum requirement. C. Water: The water supply for this proposal would be the use of shared wells. Included with the application are two (2) well permits (#191875 & 191876), both for exempt, domestic wells. See well permits, pages ct �9 . At this time, neither well has been drilled and it will be necessary to establish the adequacy of the physical water supply before the authorization of an exemption plat. D. Sewer/Soils: The applicant proposes to use individual sewage disposal systems as the method of waste eater treatment. According to the Soil Conservation Service, there are four (4) chief classifications of soils, on-site; the Nihill channery loam, Olney loam, Potts loam, and Torriorthents. When used for building site development and/or placement of ISDS, these soils vary from having slight constraints (Potts) to having severe constraints (Nihill). Staff recommends a plat note address these limitations and require site specific soil analysis at time of any building permit application. E. Access: Access to all the proposed lots would be from County Road 319 (West Mamm Creek Road) along easements that would serve some of the individual lots. It appears this access would be at the same point where CR 319 curves to the west, where there is an existing gate and access road. It appears this existing access road provides access to a future gas well on the property, as well as a cabin located on the southern portion of the property. If additional driveway permits are necessary from County Road and Bridge, the applicants will be required to receive them prior to the authorization of an exemption plat. F. Fire Protection. A letter included with the application indicates the subject property is within the area served by the Rifle Fire Protection District and that emergency services would continue to be provided. See letter, page MQ . Staff • • recommends a plat note be included to address wildfire mitigation. G. Easements: Any required easements for drainage, utilities, access, irrigation ditches, water supply, etc., will be required to be shown on the exemption plat. H. School Impact Fees: The applicant will be required to pay school impact fees of $200, for each lot created by this exemption. I. Potential Road Impact Fees: Upon adoption of a road impact fee, the lots created by this exemption will be subject to paying that fee; paid at time of building permit application, paid by the building permit applicant. This provision shall be included as a plat note. W. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. That 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. V. RECOMMENDATION If, in the discretion of the Board, the Board feels that West Mamm Creek creates a sufficient impediment to joint use of the tract, staff would recommend APPROVAL of the application, pursuant to the following conditions: 1. That all representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated at the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions of approval. 2. A Final Exemption Plat shall be submitted, indicating the legal description of the property, dimension and area of the proposed lots, access to a public right-of-way, and any proposed easements for setbacks, drainage, irrigation, access or utilities. 3. That the applicant shall have 120 days to present a plat to the Commissioners for signature, from the date of approval of the exemption. The Board may grant extensions of up to one (1) year from the original date of approval. That the applicant shall submit $200.00, per lot, in School Impact Fees for the creation of all exemption parcels. 5. That the following plat notes be included: "The minimum defensible space distance shall be 30 feet on level terrain, plus appropriate modification to recognize the increased rate of fire spread at sloped sites. The methodology described in "Determining Safety Zone Dimensions, Wildfire Safety Guidelines for Rural Homeowners," (Colorado State Forest Service) shall be used to determine defensible space requirements for the required defensible space within building envelopes in areas exceeding five (5) percent grade." "Upon adoption of road impact fees by the Board of County Commissioners, the lots created by this exemption shall be subject to paying the fees, paid at time of building permit application, paid by the building permit applicant." "This exemption was approved based on the use of a central well and shared water • • system. There is no assumption that a household use only well will be a dependable water supply. Any purchaser of a parcel of land that was created by this exemption reserves the right to use the proposed central water supply." "The shared well system approved for this exemption requires either an individual water storage tank, minimum capacity of 1000 gallons, be installed at each lot or a central storage tank, the sizing shall be a minimum of 1000 gallons per lot created and served by the central water system. This shall be done at time of building permit application at the expense of the building permit applicant." "Soil conditions on the site may require engineered septic systems and building foundations. Site specific percolation tests at the time of building permit submittal shall determine specific ISDS needs on the site." "No further divisions by exemption from definition of subdivision will be allowed." 6. The control of noxious weeds shall be the responsibility of the landowner. 7. The applicant shall receive any necessary driveway permits, for each lot created, from the County Road and Bridge Department, prior to signing of an exemption plat. 8. That, if the water supply is to be shared, the applicant shall demonstrate that an adequate supply in both quantity and quality exists for the lots to be created. Criteria for demonstrating the quality, quantity and dependability of a well or a shared well system: a) Both wells be drilled and a 4 hour pump test shall be performed on each; b) The applicant supply, to the Planning Department, the well completion report demonstrating the depth of the well, the characteristics of the aquifer and the static water level; c) The results of the 4 hour pump test indicating the pumping rate in gallons per minute and information showing drawdown and recharge shall be submitted to the Planning Department; d) A written opinion of the person conducting the well test that this well would be adequate to supply water to the number of proposed lots and be submitted to the Planning Department; e) An assumption of an average of no less than 3.5 people per dwelling unit, using 100 gallons of water per person, per day; f) If the well is to be shared, the provision for individual water storage tanks of no less than 1000 gallons for each proposed lot (required at time of building permit application); g) A discussion of the mechanical components of the shared well system to include the pump, water supply line, storage tank and other components (for shared well systems); h) A legal, well sharing agreement which discusses all easements and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the system and who will be responsible for paying these costs and how assessments will be made (for shared well systems); i) The water quality be tested by an approved testing laboratory and meet State guidelines concerning bacteria and nitrates. /42, 17z -w 3//e* 1;-f I. 1 ' . • • • k'E1ch' p dr MrD 4:400r t/ /Rao 1,- ,, k 11_ ./1H 1- 1 f j t i111I:-{t I 1 1 � I 1 Tr_ 1 • 1 • 1-1 1-1 t_ • t cz.x 97 - ?77 - z Olo,Z. !YO edd4Gril eh f5 10611%( have ) be prtnoletied fpr cuiPhis 0'4 ? 1 m u_ \ I. l •• of r• • —/ _ \ \ 7 • \\ � �' _ -.
