STAFF ANALYSIS In accordance with the Land Use and Development Code, the Applicant has provided detailed responses to the Submittal Requirements and applicable sections of Article 7, Divisions 1, 2, and 3. The application materials include an Impact Analysis and related consultant reports, technical studies, and plans. The following standards apply to all proposed Land Use Changes, including divisions of land, unless elsewhere in this Code a use is explicitly exempt from one or more standards. 3 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up 7-101. ZONE DISTRICT USE REGULATIONS. The Land Use Change is permitted by Administrative Review in the Rural zone district. This application was referred to the Board of County Commissioners pursuant to Section 4-112 of the Land Use and Development Code because of questions regarding the Water Supply and the Wastewater Management Plan. It appears that the site is otherwise compliant with the zoning regulations. 7-102. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS. The site is designated on the Future Land Use Map as Residential Medium and also went through a Comprehensive Plan Amendment process to be designated as a Rural Employment Center. A Rural Employment Center is designated as follows in the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan: LAND USE DEIVONATIOM Rural Employment Center DESCRIPTION COMPATIBLE ZONING, SmaII areas adjacent to major roadways that allow light it dustnal. manufacturing, equipment storage, and incidental retail sales. This designation also includes residential uses for employees of the business on the property. such as live.?work housing. Commercial General (CG} Industrial (I) Planned Unit Development (PUD) Density of residential uses: Determined by review Example. The proposal for a Retail, Stone Yard fits in the Rural Employment Center as the use will be more of an industrial type of retail that requires a larger area than a traditional small retail store. Other uses on the parcel also fit within the designation of a Rural Employment Center. 7-103. COMPATIBILITY. The property is currently developed with a Batch Plant and a Contractor's Yard facility. The proposed use is compatible with both of these uses. The bottom of the reclaimed gravel pit is buffered by significant berms and the parcel is bordered to the south by Highway 82. Property to the north and west appears to be agricultural and no residential use is within close proximity to the subject area. 4 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up 7-104. SOURCE OF WATER. The Applicant has indicated that they will supply water via a 5 -gallon water dispenser for employee and public use. The Land Use and Development Code allows the BOCC to determine whether or not the proposed water supply is adequate. Pursuant to Community Development policy, unmanned facilities have been the only ones not required to have Tong -term water. The facility is different from an unmanned facility where no water or wastewater is required because there will be employees and customers on the site. The applicant has requested that the limited supply of water be considered adequate by the Board, as the applicant only anticipates using the site for 3 -years, while they search for another location for the business. The Division of Water Resources provided a referral comment that stated they had no issues with the hauling of water to serve the proposed use. Environmental Health, Garfield County's designated engineer, and the Garfield County Building Department all indicated that they had no issues with the Water Supply Plan. While the Land Use and Development Code allows the Board, in its sole discretion to make a finding that the use is served by adequate water, Staff feels that if the Board approves the application, a waiver from this section is appropriate. The waiver process allows the Board to consider site and use specific considerations of this application. The Board may grant a waiver from this section provided that: 1. It achieves the intent of the subject standard to the same or better degree than the subject standard; and 2. It imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through compliance with the specific requirements of this Code. This use is unique in that there is not any substantial buildings proposed with the use on the parcel. Also, the applicant is proposing the use of the parcel for 3 -years. No issues were identified with the source of water from any of the referral agencies. 7-105. CENTRAL WATER DISTRIBUTION AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS. To address the wastewater criteria on the property, the applicant has indicated that they will provide a handicap accessible port -a -potty. This was proposed via an engineering report from Sopris Engineering, submitted as part of the application. The applicant proposes that this use be temporary for 3 -years, after which the wastewater plan would be re-evaluated. The Land Use and Development Code requires that the Wastewater System for the proposed use is adequate to serve the proposed use and density. The proposal was reviewed by the Garfield County Building Department and the Garfield County Designated Engineer, both of whom did not have an issue with the proposal. Garfield County Environmental Health did recommend that the applicant consider a vault and haul system, which has been included as an option in the suggested conditions of approval. Their 5 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up referral comment also included a statement indicating, "Alternatively, if a portable bathroom is permitted and the applicant decides to make this a permanent location, an OWTS may be necessary." If the Board finds the Water Supply and Wastewater Management Plans adequate, Staff has included a suggested condition of approval that it be permitted for only 3 -years, or until a connection to central services is available. While the Land Use and Development Code allows the Board to determine whether or not the use is to be served by an adequate waste water system, Staff feels that if the Board approves the application, a waiver from this section is the appropriate route as it will be limited to the specific circumstances around this application. The waiver criteria is as follows: 1. It achieves the intent of the subject standard to the same or better degree than the subject standard; and 2. It imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through compliance with the specific requirements of this Code. This use and the property is somewhat unique as there is no substantial building associated with the proposed use and the applicant has proposed that the use will be limited to 3 -years. 7-106. PUBLIC UTILITIES. The Applicant has represented that electric power for the office will be supplied through the use of building mounted solar panels with a back-up generator. The Land Use and Development Code requires that the site is provided with adequate public utilities. In conversations with the Chief Building Official, there is nothing in the Building Code that prohibits the use of solar panels with a back-up power generator. As such it is Staff's opinion that public utilities for the site are adequate. 7-107. ACCESS AND ROADWAYS. The applicant provided a review of the roadways, completed by a professional engineer that indicated the access to the property exceeded County Roadway requirements. This includes two 16 -foot asphalt drive lanes with 4 -foot gravel shoulders on each side and a separated 8 -foot raised median. This report was reviewed by Garfield County Road and Bridge, Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District and the Garfield County designated engineer. No issues were identified with the access. The property accesses directly onto County Road 103 and then Highway 82. There is a developed left turn on Highway 82 both into and out of County Road 103. The application was reviewed by the Colorado Department of Transportation who indicated that there were no issues. 6 Access to the site off of County Road 103 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up County Road 103 and Highway 82 Intersection CRC LLC - Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up 7-108. USE OF LAND SUBJECT TO NATURAL HAZARDS. Staff reviewed the County geologic hazards information and no hazards were identified on the subject property. There are steep slopes on the site, however the applicant has indicated that those areas have been reclaimed and the proposed use will be located on the gravel floor of the reclaimed pit. As part of the Comprehensive Plan designation process as a Rural Employment Center future industrial like uses were anticipated to be located on the parcel. The applicant provided a grading and drainage statement from a professional engineer that indicated there were no issues with drainage on the property. This report was reviewed by the County designated engineer who did not identify any issues. 7-109. FIRE PROTECTION. The application was reviewed by Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District. The referral comment indicated that access to the site is adequate and that the department has no issues with the proposal. DIVISION 2. GENERAL RESOURCE PROTECTION STANDARDS. The following resource protection standards apply to all proposed Land Use Changes, including divisions of land unless elsewhere in this Code a use is explicitly exempt from one or more standards. 7-201. AGRICULTURAL LANDS. The property is not in agricultural production and the proposed use will have minimal to no impact on nearby agricultural uses. The application did not indicate any ditches located in the immediate area of the proposed stone yard. During Staffs site visit, the applicant indicated that there may be a piped ditch in the area. Staff did not see evidence of any irrigation ditch. The applicant's proposed use is temporary in nature with limited infrastructure. A Condition of Approval has been included that requires the applicant to maintain compliance with Section 7-201 if a ditch is located nearby. 7-202. WILDLIFE HABITAT AREAS. The Application was referred to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. No comment was received. The proposed land use change is occurring on an industrially developed property and the impact on wildlife is anticipated to be minimal. 7-203. PROTECTION OF WATERBODIES. No waterbodies were identified on the site in the application or during Staff's site visit. The Roaring Fork River is located south of the site, across Highway 82. 8 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up 7-204 DRAINAGE AND EROSION. The Applicant supplied an Engineering Report that addressed Grading and Drainage/Stormwater. The report indicated that the engineer reviewed the grading and drainage impacts with the drainage study that was prepared for the Powers Pit Concrete Batch Plan Comp Plan Amendment. The engineering report provided the following comment: With that, it is therefore our opinion that with no proposed grading at your site, there will be no adverse impacts to the overall site drainage and the proposed development is in compliance with the Drainage Study for Powers Pit Concrete Batch Plant Comp Plan Amendment. Additionally, the applicant's engineering indicated that no grading is necessary to accommodate the proposed temporary use. The engineering report was reviewed by Garfield County's designated engineer who did not indicate any issues with the proposed use. Proposed Location for Stone Yard 7-205. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. The application was sent to the Colorado Department of Public Health, who did not reply with any comment. Garfield County Environmental Health reviewed the application and indicated that idling should be limited on site and that if fugitive dust emissions become an issue on site that mitigation measures should be undertaken. Environmental quality impacts on the site are anticipated to be minimal. 9 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up 7-206. WILDFIRE HAZARDS. The Community Wildfire Protection Plan identifies the parcel as in either the Not Rated or Very High designation. However, because the facility is located in a reclaimed gravel pit, there is limited vegetation on the property. Additionally, the application was reviewed by Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District, who indicated that there were no issues in serving the facility. 7-207. NATURAL AND GEOLOGIC HAZARDS. See Staff's analysis in Section 7-108. 7-208. RECLAMATION. The property was required to go through a substantial reclamation process because it is located in an old gravel pit. The applicant provided information that the Reclamation process was completed in the Fall of 2018. The application was reviewed by the Garfield County Vegetation Manager who indicated that the reclamation plan was adequate. No additional disturbance is anticipated to require reclamation. If the Board does approve the application, Staff has included a suggested condition that the applicant be required to adhere to the reclamation plan requirements. DIVISION 3. SITE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. Unless a use is explicitly identified elsewhere in this Code as being exempt from 1 or more standards, the following standards shall apply to all uses, divisions of land and PUDs. 7-301. COMPATIBLE DESIGN. The application benefits from a number of site characteristics that address compatible design issues. The floor of the reclaimed gravel pit is buffered from surrounding uses by significant slopes surrounding the pit. From Highway 82, the Stone Yard will not be visible, and only the entrance road is visible from County Road 103. These slopes also help to mitigate possible noise impacts to adjacent properties. Regarding hours of operation, the applicant has indicated that the site will be open from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. December through March and 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. April through November. Building materials will not detract from the adjacent batch plant and Contractor's Yard. 7-302. OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING STANDARDS. The Applicant has included a site plan with four customer parking spaces identified, as well as delivery truck parking and forklift parking. The parking standards in the Land Use and Development Code tie the number of parking spaces to floor area, which requires the floor area of buildings to be counted. The floor area of any buildings on the site will be 10 CRC LLC — Stone Yard Director's Decision — BOCC Call-up small (approximately 400 square feet) and parking exceeds the amount of floor area required by the office. However, this use is unique as the use of the property is more connected to the outside storage than the floor area of the structures. Because the use is temporary and because more parking can easily be created by the applicant depending on future demand, Staff is supportive of the parking plan included on the site plan. Staff has included a suggested condition of approval that the parking and drive aisles be maintained in a drivable condition with a durable, all-weather surface. 7-303. LANDSCAPING STANDARDS. The proposed use will be located on the floor of a reclaimed gravel pit. No landscaping is anticipated and there will be minimal vegetation removal. 7-304. LIGHTING STANDARDS. The applicant indicated that minimal exterior lighting is anticipated and that it will be limited to night security. A suggested condition of approval has been included requiring the applicant to comply with County lighting standards. 7-305. SNOW STORAGE STANDARDS. Snow storage appears to be adequate on the subject site. 7-306. TRAIL AND WALKWAY STANDARDS. No trails currently exist in the rural residential and agricultural area. V. BOARD OPTIONS The application includes a request that the Board determines the temporary use of port - a -potties and potable water tanks is adequate for the use. The Community Development Director chose to call this application up to the BOCC for their consideration because of this issue. If the Board determines that the water and wastewater plan is sufficient, Staff suggests memorializing that finding with a waiver. If the Board decides to approve the application, Staff has included the following Suggested Findings and Conditions of Approval. VI. SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL 1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. 2.

They should submit what they are planning on or a site visit to the tree farm to see it would be a good idea. If you do not have a source of water, a septic system does not make much sense. Another option is to allow the porta systems for the first year with an upgrade required after that. I think they would need a storage tank for the potable water to make a septic system make much sense.

Per the applicant, both the office restrooms and portable restroom are temporary wastewater storage that will be serviced by a local waste disposal service. Monitoring Well Permit No. 282659 is located on the southern part of the parcel and was issued February 16, 2010. The use of this well is limited to monitoring water levels and/or water quality sampling. The well was constructed March 17, 2010. If any water is from offsite, as long as the hauled water is from a legal source, there should not be an issue for our agency. In any situation where water is hauled, receipts for the water purchased/delivered should be kept and provided to the local water commissioner upon request. This office has no objection to the proposed retail stone yard. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at this office. Please let me know if you or the applicant has any questions regarding this matter. 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 www.colorado.gov/water Jared S.

If fugitive dust emissions begin to occur at the stone supply yard, we recommend application of water or other dust suppression at the property. - Drinking water supply: The 5 -gallon water dispenser should be an adequate water supply for employees and the occasional customer. - Wastewater treatment: It appears based on the discussion in the application that this facility is "manned" in that it will have employees on site during business hours. In that case, a portable bathroom service would likely not be sufficient for wastewater needs. However, rather than requiring an onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) for a potentially temporary operation, the applicant might consider a vault -and -haul system. Alternatively, if a portable bathroom is permitted and the applicant decides to make this a permanent location, an OWTS may be necessary. - Other recommendations: o Delivery truck drivers and customers of the Stone Yard should limit vehicle idling time while conducting operations on the site to reduce air pollution impacts. Reduced idling signage is available from Public Health if desired. Thank you, Morgan Hill, M.S.
