RE: GRAD-03-24-8569/LIPA-01-25-9052
Dear Philip,
In regards to Garfield County Vegetation Management comments on LIPA-01-25-9052/GRAD-03-24-
8569 (Belodi Creek Ranch, LLC Mini-Storage) from March 13, 2025, County staff has since spoken with
Cole Ule (landowner) and visited the site with him.
Mr. Ule informed staff that his application for the mini storage unit was denied and he is working to
revegetate the disturbed area. This will be done by hydroseeding the graded area with a native grass mix
approved by Garfield County Vegetation Management.
Mr. Ule also mentioned that he’s aware of the noxious weeds that previously infested the area and still
exist among surrounding vegetation. We expect these weeds to continue to germinate in the disturbed
area and Mr. Ule intends to treat any noxious weeds as they emerge and, if necessary, will hire a local
commercial herbicide applicator to spray the weeds.
With this, County staff accepts the changes to the Belodi Creek Ranch, LLC (Cole Ule) GRAD-03-24-
8569/LIPA-01-25-9052 applications.
Regards,
Sarah LaRose
Garfield County Vegetation Manager
