It is also known by Assessor Parcel No. 2181-064-00-064. LEGAL DESCRIPTION See Attached Legal Description ACRES The site is 14.9 acres in size. ZONING Rural (R) I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The Applicant is requesting approval for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the 14.9 acre site. The ADU will be approximately 900 sq.ft., in size and located close to the existing main residence. It will be served by the existing access driveway, a shared domestic well, and an onsite waste water treatment system (OWTS). The Applicant has requested waivers from a number of submittal requirements most of which are related to the small scale of the project (traffic analysis), the existing improvements on the property and future building permit (grading and drainage), along with certain water supply plan requirements based on water drillers reports, submitted water quality test results, and division of water resources documentation. The site is located adjacent to a side channel of the Colorado River but outside of mapped areas of 100 year flood plain. The Applicant's submittals also reflect the potential subdivision of the property in the future. The ADU would need to remain on a parcel no less than 2 acres in size if a future subdivision is requested. VICINITY MAP TSS R91W Applicant's Site frf Sil T65 T65 R91W T5S R9OW c,:ti II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE The property is located on a bench above the Colorado River, just south of Interstate 70. The site has gentle to moderate slopes down toward the river (approximately 4%) and is still in agricultural production for hay. An existing single family residence and all supporting infrastructure, including water and onsite waste water treatment is in place. The existing home and proposed ADU will be served by the existing access road with no improvements to the driveway proposed. Other than the hay fields some native vegetation exists along the perimeter of the site and along the river frontage. The flood plain for the Colorado River lies south of the existing residence and proposed ADU location. Irrigation ditches on the site include a ditch lateral along the northerly property line serving only the Applicant property and the Cactus Valley Ditch which is piped along the most southerly property boundary adjacent to the Colorado and is not impacted by the proposed ADU. III. PUBLIC AND REFERRAL COMMENTS A. The Applicant has provided documentation that the required notice mailings have been completed in accordance with the Land Use and Development Code. No comments from adjacent property owners have been received. Referral comments from various agencies are attached to the Staff Report, summarized below. They are further addressed under the appropriate Staff Analysis sections. 2 Garfield County Consulting Engineer, Chris Hale, Mountain Cross Engineering: • Commented on flood plain delineation, OWTS design, well permit updates, and water quality, including the need to address initial results that showed Total Coliform was present. Colorado Division of Water Resources, Justina Mickelson: • Noted the current applications to West Divide Water Conservancy for additional water rights to allow the existing well to serve the ADU. • Indicated that an application to re -permit the well to allow for two single family dwellings is needed consistent, in which case the Division would have no objection s to the well also serving the ADU. Carbondale River Fire Protection District, Orrin Moon, Prevention Division Chief/Fire Marshal: • Indicated the requirement that the ADU have a separate address from the main house. • Noted that the ADU would not add any impacts to the CRFR or their response to the area. E. Garfield County Vegetation Manager, Steve Anthony: • Indicates that a management plan for treatment of any Russian Olives on the main parcel is needed. Garfield County Road and Bridge Department, Dan Goin, District 3 Foreman: • Indicated the access is off a State Road and will not access a County maintained Road. 3 H. Garfield County Environmental Health, Morgan Hill: • No comments received at this time. West Divide Water Conservancy District, Tammy Keenan: • Indicated that they have an amended contract with the Applicant to serve the ADU and had no issues. J. Xcel Energy, Samantha Wakefield: • Provide information on construction procedures and noted no objection. • A will serve letter and cost estimates was included in the Application along with evidence that the Applicant has already paid for the line extension. K. Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Brian Gray District Wildlife Manager: • Noted that comments were included in the Application and they don't believe the small project will impact wildlife significantly.

STAFF ANALYSIS Article 7 of the Land Use and Development Code sets forth General Standards in Division 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. Adequate areas are shown on the site plan for parking for the ADU (room for more than 2 spaces) 2. Section 7-102: Compliance with Comprehensive Plan and IGAs The site is located in the Residential Medium High (RMH) designation on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. The recommended density is 2 — < 6 acres per dwelling unit. The proposed density of 2 units on 14.9 + acres is in compliance with the recommended density. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan includes a Housing Goal, "To bring about a range of housing types, costs and tenancy options that ensure for our current and future residents affordable housing opportunities in safe, efficient residential structures" 3. Section 7-103: Compatibility The proposal is consistent with surrounding land uses. The ADU addition will result in minimal additional site disturbance. 4. Section 7-104: Source of Water A. The ADU will be served by sharing an existing well on the property. The Applicant has obtained a contract with the West Divide Water Conservancy District to expand the use of the well to include the ADU. Re -permitting of the well with the Division of Water Resources will be required per the Division's referral comments. B. A two hour pump test was conducted in 2014 at the time the well was drilled and indicated that the production was 15+ gallons per minute. The well depth was 50 ft. with the static water level measured at 17 ft. No information on draw down was noted. Staff supports granting a waiver to accept the two hour pump test subject to provision of a statement from the Applicant's Drilling Professional indicating that the well production is adequate to serve the proposed ADU and main house uses. 5 C. Results of water quality testing indicate compliance with primary drinking water standards for most parameters while noting that hardness was above the standard and that Coliform was present in the sample. A plan for treatment will be required and confirmation of compliance with primary drinking water standards in regards to Coliform Bacteria. 5. Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater systems A new OWTS is proposed to serve the ADU. The main house on the property has an approved OWTS in place. Based on County GIS mapping some constraints on OWTS may exist on the site likely associated with ground water. Standard permitting and perc testing in accordance with the County Regulations is anticipated for the new proposed system. Should OWTS constraints be noted at the time of construction, refinements to the system design and possible engineering may be required. 6. Section 7-106: Public Utilities All other utilities to serve the proposed ADU are existing and in place and/or being extended to the unit as part of the building permit process. Referral comments and application submittals from Xcel Energy support the availability of electric service. 7. Section 7-107: Access and Roadways A. The site is access by an existing driveway off of the State Highway, 1-70 Frontage Road, also known as River Frontage Road. The Applicant has provided a copy of their Amended Access permit from CDOT which approved the driveway to serve two single family residences consistent with the Applicant's proposed ADU and existing main house. The Application also included a CDOT Notice to Proceed with the clarification that no additional construction is necessary. 41, 6 EXCERPT FROM CDOT ACCESS PERMIT - ENGINEERED DRIVEWAY DESIGNS • eir,,.7 _ River Front e Road Ail i -F4 ....• -.F.,' - il --4V--• ..---",----.* ? ,,,.. 4-jeimar i.• •tl SISYVS i.,..,.c..... .....

Colorado River Fire and Rescue did not identify any concerns with emergency vehicle access to the proposed ADU. C. Application submittals represent that the current driveway meets the Standards in Section 7-107 for a primitive driveway serving two dwelling units. D. The Applicant requested a waiver from the submittal requirement for a traffic study based on the minimal amount of new traffic generated. Referral comments from CDOT did not indicate any concerns with traffic volumes and CDOT has issued a notice to proceed for the use of the existing driveway for two residential units, the ADU and the existing main house. 8. Section 7-108: Land Subject to Natural Hazards The Applicant's site plan indicates the floodplain/floodway for a side channel of the Colorado River lies approximately 200 ft. south of the proposed ADU footprint. While no adopted FEMA maps exist for the property draft preliminary FEMA mapping (see excerpt below) is consistent with the applicant's site plan and shows 100 year flood plain well south of the proposed ADU footprint. No impacts associated with the floodplain are anticipated. No other significant natural hazards other have been identified for the property. EXCERPT FROM DRAFT FEMA FLOODPLAIN MAPPING APPROXIMATE LOCATION OF ADU 9. Section 7-109: Fire Protection The property is located within the Colorado River Fire and Rescue District. Referral comments from the district identified the need for a separate address for the ADU. No other concerns were noted included no issues with wildlife hazards. 8 Article 7, Division 2: General Resource Protection Standards 10. Section 7-201 Agricultural Lands The Application is located on property that is currently in agricultural uses and the ADU is located in an area that will limit impacts to the ongoing agricultural use. 11. Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas The proposed ADU is to be located adjacent to the existing main house on the property to minimize additional impacts. Referral comments from the CPW indicated that no significant impacts are anticipated. 12. Section 7-203 Protection of Wetlands and Waterbodies The proposed ADU will be located approximately 290 ft. north of a side channel of the Colorado River and approximately 200 ft north of the floodplain (as designated on the County GIS mapping). This extensive setback supports that no impacts on wetlands or waterbodies are anticipated. 13. Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion, 7-205 Environmental Quality Minimal site disturbance will result from the construction of the proposed ADU. Drainage improvements are to be implemented as part of the typical building permit process. Areas adjacent to the structure will be graded and landscaped. The majority of the site will remain undisturbed with agricultural uses and existing native vegetation. The OWTS will require permitting and design in accordance the County OWTS Regulations. 14. Section 7-206 Areas Subject to Wildfire Hazards No wildfire concerns were noted in the referral comments from the Colorado River Fire and Rescue District. Extensive separation from potential fuels is evident on the site. The site is located in an area of Low Wildfire Hazard on the County Wildfire Hazard mapping. 15. Section 7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards No significant geologic hazards are noted in the Application submittals. Slopes on the site a gently to moderate, approximately 4% across the site. Significant setbacks and separation from the riverbanks of the side channel of the Colorado River are proposed. 16. Section 7-208 Reclamation The site will be utilized for residential purposes with limited areas of new disturbance and no new roadway construction. No reclamation or revegetation is necessary. 9 WILDLAND FIRE HAZARD MAPPING • ;egend Moderate Hazard Low Hazard Negligible or Indeterminate Hazard Approx.

Section 7-301: Compatible Design The proposal reflects consistency with the character of existing uses and improvements on the property and on adjacent properties. 18. Section 7-302: Off -Street Parking The Applicant's site shows two parking spaces available for the ADU located adjacent to the proposed driveway in accordance with code requirements. 19. Section 7-303: Landscaping Plan ADU applications are exempt from Landscaping Plan submittals, however, the site reflects typical rural residential 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. 10 22. Section 7-306: Trails and Walkways Given the rural area of the site these standards are not applicable. 23. Section 7-701: Accessory Dwelling Unit Standards 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.

Civil and Environmental Consulting and Design RE: Moulton Accessory Dwelling Unit: GAPA-02-18-8604 Dear Glenn: This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Moulton ADU Application. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The review generated the following comments: 1. The mapping provided shows the Floodway. Elevations of building finished floor requirements are associated with the elevation of the Floodplain regulated for FEMA by Garfield County. The Applicant should verify the limits of the Floodplain and verify that the ADU does not require permitting or require an Elevation Certificate. 2. The Applicant does not provide a design for an OWTS. Special considerations may be necessary for construction and setbacks because of the proximity to the river. The Applicant should provide some assessment of feasibility for construction of an OWTS. 3. The well permit that was provided is only permitted for one residence. The Applicant should obtain a new well permit that includes the ADU. 4. The application materials does not include a pump test for the well. 5. The water quality analysis that was submitted shows that Total Coliform was present in the well water.

Mickelson, Physical Science Researcher/Scientist Re: Moulton Accessory Dwelling Unit; GAPA-03-18-8628 We have reviewed the proposal to construct an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on a parcel of approximately 14.9 acres in size, described as the east 660 feet of lot 8, located in part of the SE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 6, Township 6 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M., at 37270 River Frontage Road, 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 parcel is provided by a well and the applicant proposes a new onsite wastewater treatment system for the ADU. According to the applicant's submittal, Well Permit No. 78471-F services the existing residence. According to our records, Well Permit No.78471-F was issued on September 16, 2014 to construct a new well (known as the Moulton Well) to be located in the SE1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 6, Township 6 South, Range 91 West of the 6th P.M. The use of groundwater from the well is limited to ordinary household purposes inside one single family dwelling, the irrigation of not more than 6,000 square feet of home gardens and lawns, and the watering of 15 domestic animals. The annual amount of ground water to be appropriated shall not exceed 0.95 acre-foot and the pumping rate of this well shall not exceed 15 gpm . The well was constructed on September 24, 2014 and pump installed November 10, 2014. This well must operate in accordance with the West Divide Water Conservancy District Augmentation Plan for uses described in the applicant's original contract #140619WMM. The current permit is valid for those uses listed above. According to the submitted material, water contract #140619WMM(a) with West Divide Water Conservancy District was amended on February 15, 2018 to include one ADU and reduce domestic animal watering to 5 animals. The proposed accessory apartment would be considered, for the purposes of well permitting, to be an additional single family dwelling. The current permit, Permit No. 78471-F restricts the use of the well to one single family dwelling. Therefore the applicant, in order to serve the accessory apartment, must obtain a new well permit that allows the well to be used for the additional purposes augmented within their amended water contract. The applicant may submit an application to this office to re -permit the well in order to operate the well for all proposed uses. 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 F 303.866.3589 www.water.state.co.us Moulton Accessory Dwelling Unit; GAPA-03-18-8628 May 17, 2018 Page 2 of 2 As long as the applicant obtains a well permit that allows for two single family dwellings, this office would have no objection to the well also serving the proposed ADU.

The only requirement to this proposed ADU is that the new ADU have a separate address from the main residence to aid emergency response.
