CONFERENCE SUMMARY
TAX PARCEL NUMBER: 212525200104
PROJECT: Campground / RV Park
OWNERS/APPLICANT: 4J LLC
REPRESENTATIVE: Simon Longacre
PRACTICAL LOCATION: 2101 County Road 245, New Castle, CO 81647
ZONING: Rural
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Major Impact Review
DATE: November 5, 2018
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a Campground, to be located on an approximately 20 acre parcel located
within the Rural zone district. The applicant is anticipating the construction of 8-12 tent pads located
on the western portion of the parcel near Elk Creek. Long-term, the applicant anticipates that the
campground area may be fully developed with picnic tables, fire rings, and possibly a gazebo
structure. Possible RV parking spots were also discussed, potentially located near the existing barn.
Any proposal for RV locations should be included in the application. The proposal is for a seasonal
use from approximately May -October.
The applicant is proposing to use port-a-poddies for wastewater disposal and indicated that the well
permit on the property may allow for commercial use. Staff recommends that the applicant contact
the Division of Water Resources to discuss legal water for the use. Access will be from County Road
245 and private roads.
The use would be served by an individual well on the property. The Applicant will have to
demonstrate that the existing well is legally and physically able to serve the use. A well permit will
need to be provided that demonstrates that each use on the property is legally served by water. A 4 -
hour pump test and water quality test are required, but may be done as a condition of approval
(however, please submit any supporting information available). In addition, a water quality test in
1
compliance with Section 4-203(M)(1)(b)(5)(C) will need to be provided. Similar to the 4 -hour pump
test, this water quality test may be done as a condition of approval if requested in the application.
The application should include a plan for how water will be available to visitors on site.
Demonstration of conformance to Section 7-107 and specifically Table 7-107, Roadway Design
Standards, needs to be provided. This demonstration should include all private driveways and roads
from the proposed use to public right of way. Please respond to each of the items in the Roadway
Design Standards Table (7-107) to show compliance with these parameters (ROW width, Lane width,
Shoulder width, etc.) using anticipated traffic for the site as provided by a professional engineer. In
addition, should the access driveway cross adjacent properties before reaching the public right of
way, then easements or other demonstration of legal access needs to be provided. Should the
roadway not meet one or more of the dimensional standards identified in Table 7-107, then the
Applicant will need to have a professional engineer evaluate the roadway and make a determination
as to whether it is adequate despite not meeting one or more specific standards.
Garfield County hazard mapping shows that the portion of the parcel where the campground is
proposed is impacted by floodplain. The applicant will need to provide a site plan with the mapped
floodplain and a description of activities that will occur in the floodplain. A floodplain development
permit will likely be required if the application is approved. Garfield County hazard mapping shows
the parcel is located in an area with a high water table. Staff discussed the required 35 foot water
body setback from the creek that will be required for any proposal.
Please respond to the Standards as identified in Article 7: Standards, Division 1, 2 and 3 and for
Campgrounds, Section 7-905. These are the standards by which the application will be determined
to be approved, approved with conditions or denied. A short response to these items ensures that
1) the applicant has read and understands the standards upon which a determination will be based,
and 2) allows the applicant and staff to work through any possible issues early on in the application
process.
Staff recommends that the applicant contact referral agencies to discuss the proposal prior to
submittal. This includes: Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Colorado River Fire Rescue, and the Division of
Water Resources.

Waiver Requests
The applicant of the proposed campground to be located at 2101 CR245 New Castle, CO 81647
requests waivers for the following submittal requirements:
1. Development Agreement; reason being there will be no phasing of the project.
2. Improvement Agreement; reason being there will be no public improvements
required.
3. Landscape Plan; reason being, the developers have fundamentally described the
current landscape conditions, as well as possible changes, but the size, scale, and
complexity of the project allowed for less description than required in a full
landscaping plan.
4. Grading and Drainage Plan; reason being, the developers have illustrated the
fundamental grading and drainage on the site plan and additional notes, but the size,
scale, and complexity of the project allowed for less depiction than required in a full
grading and drainage plan.
The applicant of the proposed campground to be located at 2101 CR245 New Castle, CO 81647
requests waivers for the following standards requirements:
1. 7-302 N.1.a Access Driveway; reason being the size, scale, and complexity of the
development, along with abundant Clear Vision areas, will allow roadways of smaller
dimensions to provide adequate flow and safety for pedestrians and traffic vehicles.
Access road will match conditions of roads already in use on property. These roads in
place have proved adequate over an extended period of time.
2. 7-905 Campground/ Recreational Vehicle Park; reason being the size, scale, and
complexity of the development, along with abundant Clear Vision areas, will allow
roadways of smaller dimensions to provide adequate flow and safety for pedestrians
and traffic vehicles. Access road will match conditions of roads already in use on
property. These roads in place have proved adequate over an extended period of time.
Also, large and mid-size recreational vehicles will not be permitted in the
campground. The largest vehicles allowed will be small van -type vehicles, that
operate within large passenger car path dimensions. For clarification, the roadway
dimension is the reason the standard be requested waived. Other parts of the standard
which includes maintaining roadways in rut -free and dust -free conditions, as well as
no parking on roadways will be carried out.
Grading and Drainage
Applicants have provided a site-plan that illustrates many of the elements in the required Grading and
Drainage Plan. The site-plan and this documentation will provide an overview of the grading and its
effects, but due to the small size, scale, and complexity of this project applicants are asking for a waiver
from the requirement of a full Grading and Drainage Plan.
The site-plan provided illustrates all waterbodies and hydrologic features within the development area.
There are no existing structures within the development area. The topography is shown in 2-foot contours.
The grading proposed can be seen on the plan, accompanied by roadway grade percentages along the
entire route. A soil stockpile will be used for the project and located at the NE corner of the Alfalfa Field,
just inside the second 90 degree turn on the proposed road. Snow storage is not included due to the
seasonality of the campground. Drainage from all impermeable surfaces has be designed for sheet flow
into vegetated dispersal areas. The storage of all equipment, when not in use, will take place in the
equipment storage areas on the adjacent operational ranch.
The construction of the campground will commence once the permit is granted through Garfield County.
The estimate project timeline is 2-3 weeks. Erosion and sediment control, as draw on the site plan, will be
installed at the onset of construction. Straw bale damming will be used. During active site conditions,
sediment and erosion control measures will be checked daily and maintained as needed. Control
measures, straw bales, will be removed once disturbed areas are sufficiently stabilized. The roadways and
parking areas are to be stabilized with stone. The side slopes and other disturbed areas will be
permanently seeded with a seed mix recommended by the Garfield County Vegetation Manager. Standard
spill prevention control and countermeasure practices for will be used throughout the entirety of the
project.
