Mineral Interest Research
Mineral interests may be severed from surface right interests in real property. Colorado revised
statute 24-65.5-103 requires notification to mineral owners when a landowner applies for a land
use designation by a local government. As such, the landowner must research the current owners
of mineral interests for the property.
The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code of 2013 ("LUDC") Section 4-
IO!(E)(l)(b)(4) requires written notice to owners of mineral interests in the subject property "as
such O\\T1ers can be identified through the records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or
Assessor, or through other means ."
It is the duty of the applicant to notify mineral interest owners. The following is a suggested
process to research mineral interests:
I. Review the current ownership deed for the property (i.e. Warranty Deed, Special
Warranty, Quit Claim Deed or Bargain and Sale Deed-NOT a Deed of Trust). The
O\vnership deed is usually one or two pages. Is there a reservation of mineral interests on
the ownership deed? Are there any exceptions to title? A deed may include a list of
reservations that reference mineral owners or oil and gas leases.
2. Review your title insurance policy. Are there exceptions to title listed under Schedule B-
Ii? If so, review for mineral interests that were reserved and oil and gas leases.
3. Check with the Assessor's office to determine if II mineral interest bas been reserved
from the subject property. The Assessor's office no longer documents the mineral
reservation ownership for its tax roll records unless ownership has been proven. There
are only a limited number of mineral owners who have provided such infomultion to the
Assessor's office so this may not provide any information, depending on your property.

.;.. . 'MEMO
June 24, 2014
Page2
4. Research the legal description or the subject property with the Clerk and Recorder's
computer. You can search the Section, Township, and Range of the subject property.
You may find deeds for mineral interests for the subject property.
5. Research whether a Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership was filed for the subject
property. On the Clerk and Recorder's computer, search under Filter (on the right hand
side of the screen), General Recordings, Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership for the
subject property.
6. If you find mineral interest owners as reservations on your deed, listed in your title
insurance policy, from lhe Assessor's records or the Clerk and Recorder's computer, you
need to determine whether these mineral interests were transferred by deed and recorded
in the Clerk and Recorder's office .
7. Enter the name of the mineral interest owner as the Grantor in the Clerk and Recorder's
computer to see if the mineral interest was transferred. If you find a transfer deed, you
need to repeat this process to follow any transfer of the mineral interest to present day.
8 . Include a description of your research process in your application Wld the name(s) and
address(es) of the current mineral interest owner(s).
Mineral interest research can be a difficult and time consuming process. If you are unable to
determine mineral rights ownership by yourself, consider hiring an attorney or landman.
Attorneys and landmen specialize in dctennining mineral rights ownership, but they charge a fee
for their services.

3. Street Names. Street names shall be consistent with the names of
existing streets in the same alignment. There shall be no duplication of
street names in the County.
4. Congestion and Safety. The road system shall be designed to minimize
road congestion and unsafe conditions.
5. Continuation of Roads and Dead-End Roads. Roads shall be arranged to
provide for the continuation of major roads between adjacent properties
when appropriate and necessary for traffic movement, effective fire
protection, or efficient provision of utilities.
a. If the adjacent property is undeveloped and the road must be
temporarily dead-ended, right-of-way shall be extended to the
property line and the BOCC may require construction and
maintenance of a turnaround for temporary use. The Final Plat
shall include a Plat notation that land outside the normal road
right-of-way shall revert to abutting property owners when the road
is continued, after compliance with the County road vacation
process.
b. Dead-end streets may be permitted provided they are not more
than 600 feet in length and provide for a cul-de-sac or a T-shaped
turnaround based on the following design standards. The BOCC
may approve longer cul-de-sacs for topographical reasons if
adequate fire protection and emergency egress and access can
be provided.
(1) Cul-de-sacs shall have a radius of at least 45 feet
measured from the center of the cul-de-sac, and
(a) Nonresidential development shall have at
least a 75-foot right-of-way where tractor
trailer trucks will enter the property; and
(b) Residential development shall have a 50-
foot right-of-way;
(2) T-shaped Turnaround.
(a) Nonresidential development shall have a
minimum turning radius of 75 feet where
tractor trailer trucks will enter the property;
and
(b) Residential development shall have a
minimum turning radius of 50 feet.
c. Dead-end streets shall be discouraged, except in cases where the
dead-end is meant to be temporary with the intent to extend or
connect the right-of-way in the future. If a dead-end street is
approved, room for plowed snow storage shall be included by
providing a T-shaped turnaround with a minimum turning radius of
50 feet for residential development and 75 feet for
commercial/industrial development where tractor trailer trucks will
enter the property. A dead-end street is different from a cul-de-
sac in that a dead-end street has no permanent turnaround at the
end of the street.
6. Relationship to Topography. Streets shall be designed to be compatible
with the topography, creeks, wooded areas, and other natural features.
Combinations of steep grades and curves should be avoided. When, due
7-6
to topography, hazards or other design constraints, additional road width
is necessary to provide for the public safety by cut and/or fill area,
drainage area, or other road appurtenances along roadways, then
dedication or right-of way in excess of the minimum standards set forth in
this Code shall be required.
7.Erosion and Drainage. The road system shall minimize erosion and
provide for efficient and maintainable drainage structures.
8.Commercial and Industrial. The roads and access in commercial and
industrial developments shall be designed to minimize conflict between
vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
9.Emergency Access and Egress. Roads shall be designed so as to
provide emergency access and egress for residents, occupants, and
emergency equipment. Emergency access shall comply with provisions
of the International Fire Code and requirements of applicable emergency
services, such as fire protection, ambulance, and law enforcement.
10.Traffic Control and Street Lighting. Traffic control devices, street signs,
street lighting, striping, and pedestrian crosswalks are to be provided as
required by the County Road and Bridge Department or other referral
agencies.
11.Drainage Structures.
a.Roadway drainage structures such as bridges, culverts, cross
pans, inlets, and curbs and gutters shall be provided as
determined by design and in conformance with the County road
standards.
b.Culverts are required where driveways connect to roadways
unless specifically exempted by the County Road and Bridge
Department. It is the responsibility of the property owners to
maintain their culverts free and clear of mud, silt, debris, and ice.
Water that flows out of driveways must be diverted to ditches.
Damage to a road caused by a blocked culvert, lack of culvert, or
driveway Runoff is the responsibility of the property owner and
costs of repairs by the County may be billed to the property owner
as authorized by C.R.S. Title 43, Article 5.
12.Roadside Ditches. Water flowing in roadside ditches shall be diverted
away from the road as quickly as possible. In no case shall water travel
in a roadside ditch for a distance greater than 800 feet or have a flow
greater than 5 cubic feet per second during a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event.
7-108. USE OF LAND SUBJECT TO NATURAL HAZARDS.
Land subject to identified Natural and Geologic Hazards, such as falling rock, landslides, snow
slides, mud flows, radiation, flooding, or high water tables, shall not be developed unless it has
been designed to eliminate or mitigate the potential effects of hazardous site conditions as
designed by a qualified professional engineer and as approved by the County.
7-109. FIRE PROTECTION.
A.Adequate Fire Protection.
Adequate fire protection will be provided for each land use change as required by the
appropriate fire protection district.
N/A
Fire protection will be same as existing

not adversely affect or otherwise limit the viability of existing agricultural operations.
Proposed division and development of the land shall minimize the impacts of
development on Agricultural Lands and agricultural operations, and maintain the
opportunity for agricultural production.
B.Domestic Animal Controls.
Dogs and other domestic animals that are not being used to assist with the herding or
the care of livestock shall not be permitted to interfere with livestock or the care of
livestock on Agricultural Lands. The County shall require protective covenants or deed
restrictions as necessary to control domestic animals.
C.Fences.
The County is a Right to Farm County consistent with section 1-301. Fences shall be
constructed to separate the development from adjoining Agricultural Lands or stock
drives as required to protect Agricultural Lands by any new development and to separate
new development from adjoining agricultural operations. All parts of the fencing
including such items as gates, cattle guards, boards, posts, and wiring shall be
maintained by the owner, HOA, or other responsible entity.
D.Roads.
Roads shall be located a sufficient distance back from the property boundaries so that
normal maintenance of roads, including snow removal, will not damage boundary
fences. Dust control shall be required, both during and after construction, to minimize
adverse impacts to livestock and crops.
E.Ditches.
1.Colorado State Statutes, C.R.S. 37-86-102, provides that “any person
owning a water right or conditional water right shall be entitled to a right-
of-way through the lands which lie between the point of diversion and
point of use or proposed use for the purpose of transporting water for
beneficial use in accordance with said water right or conditional water
right.” A plat note shall be placed on all final plats and site plans for land
use change permits for properties that are impacted by, or contain,
irrigation ditches.
2.The Colorado Constitution Article XVI, Section 7 provides that all persons
and corporations shall have the right-of-way across public, private and
corporate lands for the construction of ditches for the purposes of
conveying water for domestic, agricultural, mining, manufacturing and
drainage purposes upon just compensation.
3.Rights-of-Way. The land use change shall not interfere with the ditch
rights-of-way.

7-8
4.Maintenance. Where irrigation ditches cross or adjoin the land proposed
to be developed, the developer shall insure that the use of those ditches,
including maintenance, can continue uninterrupted.
5.Maintenance Easement. A maintenance easement shall be indicated on
any Final Plat for the division of land or for the final development plan for
any other land use. The Applicant shall provide a letter from the ditch
owner accepting that the development proposal will have no impact on
their ability to maintain the ditch and that an adequate maintenance
easement is possible. No structure or fence shall be placed within the
right-of-way or easement without written permission from the appropriate
ditch owner.
6.Ditch Crossings. Ditch crossings shall respect the rights of ditch owner(s)
to operate and maintain their ditch without increased burden of
maintenance or liability. Development shall minimize ditch crossings. At
a minimum all irrigation ditch crossings shall:
a.Require the crossing be sized to not interfere with ditch operations
or change existing hydraulic flow characteristics;
b.Provide vehicle and maintenance equipment access to the ditch
from both sides of the ditch crossing from all roads for use by the
ditch owner(s);

these improvements are required to address safety concerns;
7.Referral to Ditch Owner. Application for Division of Land or Land Use
Change Permit that may affect or impact any ditch right-of-way shall
include the name and mailing address of the ditch owner. (This
information may be obtained by contacting the Water Commissioner at
the Colorado Division of Water Resources to determine the ditch owner
for purposes of requesting review and comment on the development
proposal).
8.Drainage. Application for Division of Land or Land Use Change Permit
that includes any improvements located adjacent to or below grade of an
irrigation ditch shall address and mitigate potential impacts to the
irrigation ditch in a drainage plan. The drainage plan shall demonstrate
that the drainage will not impair operation of the ditch.
9.Water Quality and Stormwater Management. No development or
changes in land use shall channel surface waters into any irrigation ditch
without the written consent of the ditch owner.
7-202. WILDLIFE HABITAT AREAS.
The Applicant shall consult with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife or a qualified wildlife biologist in
determining how best to avoid or mitigate impacts to wildlife habitat areas. Methods may
include, but are not limited to, 1 or more of the following:
N/A
7-9
A.Buffers.
Visual and sound buffers shall be created through effective use of topography,
vegetation, and similar measures to screen structures and activity areas from habitat
areas.
B.Locational Controls of Land Disturbance.
Land disturbance shall be located so that wildlife is not forced to use new migration
corridors, and is not exposed to significantly increased predation, interaction with
vehicles, intense human activity, or more severe topography or climate.
C.Preservation of Native Vegetation.
1.Proposed Land Use Changes are designed to preserve large areas of
vegetation utilized by wildlife for food and cover, based upon
recommendations by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
2.When native vegetation must be removed within habitat areas, it shall be
replaced with native and/or desirable nonnative vegetation capable of
supporting post-disturbance land use.
3.Vegetation removed to control noxious weeds is not required to be
replaced unless the site requires revegetation to prevent other noxious
weeds from becoming established.
D.Habitat Compensation.
Where disturbance of critical wildlife habitat cannot be avoided, the developer may be
required to acquire and permanently protect existing habitat to compensate for habitat
that is lost to development.
E.Domestic Animal Controls.
The County may require protective covenants or deed restrictions as necessary to
control domestic animals by fencing or kenneling.
7-203. PROTECTION OF WATERBODIES.
A.Minimum Setback.
1.A setback of 35 feet measured horizontally from the Typical and Ordinary
High Water Mark (TOHWM) on each side of a Waterbody is required.
2.In the case of entrenched or incised streams, where the vertical distance
from the bank exceeds 25 feet, all activities, except for those referenced
in section 7-203.A.3, will adhere to a setback of 2.5 times the distance
between the TOHWMs or 35 feet, whichever is less.
3.A minimum setback of 100 feet measured horizontally from the TOHWM
shall be required for any storage of hazardous materials and sand and
salt for use on roads.

B.Structures Permitted In Setback.
Irrigation and water diversion facilities, flood control structures, culverts, bridges,
pipelines, and other reasonable and necessary structures requiring some disturbance
within the 35 foot setback may be permitted.
C.Structures and Activity Prohibited in Setback.
Unless otherwise permitted or approved, the following activities and development shall
be prohibited in the 35 foot setback:
1.Removal of any existing native vegetation or conducting any activity
which will cause any loss of riparian area unless it involves the approved
removal of noxious weeds, nonnative species, or dead or diseased trees.
2.Disturbance of existing natural surface drainage characteristics,
sedimentation patterns, flow patterns, or flood retention characteristics by
any means, including without limitation grading and alteration of existing
topography. Measures taken to restore existing topography to improve
drainage, flow patterns, and flood control must be approved.
D.Compliance with State and Federal Laws.
Any development impacting a Waterbody shall comply with all applicable state and
federal laws, including, but not limited to, CDPHE water quality control division
regulations and the Army Corp of Engineers regulations and permitting for waters of the
U.S.
7-204 DRAINAGE AND EROSION.
A.Erosion and Sedimentation.
Excluding Grading activities for agricultural purposes, development disturbing 1 acre or
more is subject to the CDPHE National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit,
unless otherwise exempted by CDPHE.
B.Drainage
1.Site Design to Facilitate Positive Drainage. Lots shall be laid out to
provide positive drainage away from all buildings.
2.Coordination With Area Storm Drainage Pattern. Individual lot drainage
shall be coordinated with the general storm drainage pattern for the area.
a.Drainage ditches shall have a minimum Slope of no less than
0.75%. Energy dissipaters or retention ponds shall be installed in
drainage ditches where flows are in excess of 5 feet per second.
Ditches adjacent to roads shall have a maximum Slope of 3:1 on
the inside and outside edges, except where there is a cut Slope
on the outside edge, in which case the edge of the ditch shall be
matched to the cut Slope.
b.Subdrains shall be required for all foundations where possible and
shall divert away from building foundations and daylight to proper
drainage channels.
c.Avoid Drainage to Adjacent Lots. Drainage shall be designed to
avoid concentration of drainage from any lot to an adjacent lot.
C.Stormwater Run-Off.
These standards shall apply to any new development within 100 feet of a Waterbody
and to any other development with 10,000 square feet or more of impervious surface
area.
Drainage/ Site plan provided
7-11
1. Avoid Direct Discharge to Streams or Other Waterbodies. Stormwater
Runoff from project areas likely to contain pollutants shall be managed in
a manner that provides for at least 1 of the following and is sufficient to
prevent water quality degradation, disturbance to adjoining property, and
degradation of public roads.
a. Runoff to Vegetated Areas. Direct run-off to stable, vegetated
areas capable of maintaining Sheetflow for infiltration. Vegetated
receiving areas should be resistant to erosion from a design storm
of 0.5 inches in 24 hours.
b. On-Site Treatment. On-site treatment of stormwater prior to
discharge to any natural Waterbody by use of best management
practices designed to detain or infiltrate the Runoff and approved
as part of the stormwater quality control plan prior to discharge to
any natural Waterbody.
c. Discharge to Stormwater Conveyance Structure. Discharge to a
stormwater conveyance structure designed to accommodate the
projected additional flows from the proposed project, with
treatment by a regional or other stormwater treatment facility.
2. Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas. The site design shall
minimize the extent of directly-connected impervious areas by including
the following requirements:
a. Drainage Through Vegetated Pervious Buffer Strips. Runoff from
developed impervious surfaces (rooftops, Parking Lots, sidewalks,
etc.) shall drain over stable, vegetated pervious areas before
reaching stormwater conveyance systems or discharging to
Waterbodies.
b. Techniques Used in Conjunction with Buffer Strip. The
requirement that all impervious areas drain to vegetated pervious
buffer strips may be reduced if the outflow from the vegetated
pervious buffer strip is directed to other stormwater treatment
methods. Examples of other potential techniques to be used in
conjunction with vegetated pervious buffer strip are: infiltration
devices, grass depressions, constructed Wetlands, sand filters,
dry ponds, etc.
c. Grass Buffer Strip Slope Design. When impervious surfaces drain
onto grass buffer strips, a Slope of less than 10% is encouraged,
unless an alternative design is approved by the County.
3. Detain and Treat Runoff. Permanent stormwater detention facilities are
required to be designed to detain flows to historic peak discharge rates
and to provide water quality benefits and maintained to ensure function.
Design criteria for detention facilities include:
a. Detention facilities shall ensure the post-development peak
discharge rate does not exceed the pre-development peak
discharge rate for the 2-year and 25-year return frequency, 24-
hour duration storm. In determining Runoff rates, the entire area
contributing Runoff shall be considered, including any existing off-
site contribution.
b. To minimize the threat of major property damage or loss of life, all
permanent stormwater detention facilities must demonstrate that
there is a safe passage of the 100-year storm event without
causing property damage.
7-12
c.Channels downstream from the stormwater detention pond
discharge shall be protected from increased channel scour, bank
instability, and erosion and sedimentation from the 25-year return
frequency, 24-hour design storm.
d.Removal of pollutants shall be accomplished by sizing dry
detention basins to incorporate a 40-hour emptying time for a
design precipitation event of 0.5 inches in 24 hours, with no more
than 50% of the water being released in 12 hours. If retention
ponds are used, a 24-hour emptying time is required. For
drainage from Parking Lots, vehicle maintenance facilities, or
other areas with extensive vehicular use, a sand and oil grease
trap or similar measures also may be required. To promote
pollutant removal, detention basins length-to-width ratio should be
not less than 2, with a ratio of 4 recommended where site
constraints allow. A sedimentation “forebay” is recommended to
promote long-term functioning of the structure. Access to both the
forebay and pond by maintenance equipment is required.
e.Culverts, drainage pipes, and bridges shall be designed and
constructed in compliance with AASHTO recommendations for a
water live load.
7-205. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
A.Air Quality.
Any Land Use Change shall not cause air quality to be reduced below acceptable levels
established by the Colorado Air Pollution Control Division.
B.Water Quality.
At a minimum, all hazardous materials shall be stored and used in compliance with
applicable State and Federal hazardous materials regulations.
7-206. WILDFIRE HAZARDS.
The following standards apply to areas subject to wildfire hazards as identified on the County
Wildfire Susceptibility Index Map as indicated in the County’s Community Wildfire Protection
Plan.
A.Location Restrictions.
Development associated with the land use change shall not be located in any area
designated as a severe wildfire Hazard Area with Slopes greater than 30% or within a
fire chimney as identified by the Colorado State Forest Service.
B.Development Does Not Increase Potential Hazard.
The proposed Land Use Change shall be developed in a manner that does not increase
the potential intensity or duration of a wildfire, or adversely affect wildfire behavior or fuel
composition.
C.Roof Materials and Design.
Roof materials shall be made of noncombustible materials or other materials as
recommended by the local fire agency.
7-207. NATURAL AND GEOLOGIC HAZARDS.
A.Utilities.
Above-ground utility facilities located in Hazard Areas shall be protected by barriers or
diversion techniques approved by a qualified professional engineer. The determination
N/A
No slope at 30%+, doesn’t increase hazard,
Roof asphalt shingles
N/A
7-13
to locate utility facilities above ground shall be based upon the recommendation and
requirements of the utility service provider and approved by the County.
