McCafferty Senior Planner XC Dwight V/hiteheacl, Water Commissioner, Division of Water Resources, P.O. Box 396, Glenwood Springs, 81602 Thatcher lll 17 197 SB-35 The Subject property is approx. 20.5 acres in size and located in the Sweetwater aÍea, roughly one- half mile west of the F;aglelGarfreld county border. County road 150 bisects the property leaving 16.1 acres north of the road and approx. 4.4 acres south of the road. The southerly boundary is defined by Sweetwater creeþ with an inigation ditch flowing between the creek and the county road. An existing single family dwelling and an accessory structure occupy the southerly parcel and the northerly parcel is generally unimproved. The adjacent land uses include residential and agricultural with federal lands located in the vicinity The applicant is proposing to divide the2Q.5 acretractnto 2 parcels consisting of 16. I and 4.4 acres each. The smaller parcel would contain the improvements and the larger parcel would be developed as a single family homesite. The applicant has owned the property for some time, which originally consisted of approx. 28 acres. Since that time, the tract has been reduced to its present size. However, this exemption request is premised on the argument that the presence of county road 150 creates an impediment to joint use. In terms of zoning, both proposed parcels are in excess of the 2 acre minimum lot size requirement of the AIR/RD zone district. There are no excessive slopes on the parcel and no known natural hazards that would preclude development of the northerly parcel. In regard to water, the existing dwelling utilizes an approved household and domestic well and the exemption parcel is the subject of a well permit application being considered by the division of water resources. I have discussed the status of the well permit with the division and it appears that prior to approval and issuance of a new permit or amended well permit, a water augmentation plan or perhaps a change in use of irrigation water would be required. Wastewater would be treated by an individual sewage disposal system and the soil conservation service has classified the soil as within the Forelle-Brownsto complex with areas of Mussel and Morval soils. All soil classifications are considered to have moderate to severe constraints to building foundations and ISD systems. County road 150 would provide access much as it currently does. A driveway and culvert have been installed to the northerly parcel and sight distances along the county road are good. When I visited the site in late September, the Garfield county portion of the road was in very good condition and eagle county was in the process of grading its portion of the road. Staffwould suggest that the applicant discuss the driveway access with the road and bridge department and be issued any required permits. The subject property is not within a fire protection district; however, the gypsum fire department has confirmed that it would provide emergency service in the event they are required. Staff would suggest the standard plat note addressing wildfire mitigation. In terms of the comprehensive plan, the subject tract is not classified within any of the plans. However, based on its location, staffwould suggest it would likely be classified within district D, further described as rural areas with moderate environmental constraints. If approved, the applicant would be required to provide $200, in school site acquisition fees Turning back to the water supply, it does appear that the state will require awater augmentation plan or perhaps a change in use of irrigation water, prior to approving a new or amended well permit. Because ofthis, staffis suggesting this petition be continued to allow the applicant time to pursue the requirements ofthe dMsion ofwater resources, and be continued with a disposition that this petition receive conditional approval upon completion of the plan. 7, (Lro,^^Ç*'n S,oo Aq, (ån ß"rro o (r*?. - ¡lo t<æ¡¿¡p of Sror..- f)ø^'f {ru"t âôo ïo Johnson, Kunkel & Associates, Inc.
