EL RANCHO MINOR SUBDIVISION PROJECT NARRATIVE
This application is for the division of a 45.387 acres Parcel (#2L79LOL3O01), which is located south of Silt
Colorado
at County Road 346, into a minor subdivision consisting of three lots. The proposed lot sizes are
as follows: Lot 1- 9.526 acres, Lot 2 - 3L.676acres, and Lot 3 - 4.185 The site is zoned Rural
and there is currently a house built with an OWTS system in place a water well.
ARTICIE 7 - DIVISION 1: GENERAT APPROVAT STANDARDS
Section 7.t0tz Zone District Use Regulations
The subject property is currently zoned Rural and the proposed minor subdivision will not change this'
Section 7.tf12z Comprehensive Plan and lntergovernmental Agreements
The Comprehensive Plan includes relatively few policies which provide direct guidance with respect to
the proposed subdivision. The Future Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan establishes the
broad land use and density for future development within the County.
The proposed subdivision in in conformance with the applicable zone district: Rural, minimum lot size 2
acres, with the proposed lot sizes as follows: Lot L -9.526 acres,Lot2-31.676 acres, and Lot 3 -4.185
acres, which are allwell above the minimum lot size allowed. The subject property is not located within
any unincorporated community, or water and sewer service area, nor is there any regional center, town
center, rural employment center or village center mapped in the area where the subject property is
located.
The County desires to retain the rural character of the area and the proposed subdivision would provide
that with the creation of a mere two additional lots, in which agricultural and grazing uses can remain.
As far as recreation, open space, and trails, the subject property does have the Dry Hallow Creek
running through lot 2 which will remain intact. There is no fishing or rafting activity that would be
interrupted.
No significant visual impact is expected with the creation of the three lots'
Based on the current regulations, by dividing the property now in in the proposed manner, the
individual lots cannot be subdivided again, therefore the agricultural land will be protected from
infringement of higher density uses'
The proposed subdivision will comply with the designated Rural Zoning District, which allows residential
lots with a minimum lot area of two acres. The proposed lot sizes would allow for continued agricultural
and grazing uses, with minimal impact on adjacent agricultural operations'
Section 7 .t0lz ComPatibilitY
The surrounding properties are zoned rural with a mix of Rural Residential and Agriculture/Grazing Land
Use . There are a few adjacent properties ranging in size trom 2 acres to 40 acres. The proposed land

sizes are larger than the minimum two acres required for this designation, and will allow for small scale
agriculture and grazing to continue'

To Whom !t May Concern,
I hav* been asked by J*ei Ruiz to pr"cvide sorne inpr:t an the bald eagle nest near lhe Siit
River Preserve and its current status as it may impact some planned construction acrass
eaunty Road 346 near the intersection with County Road 331.
Unfortunately on Aprii 5th, ?0?2 the bald eagle nest irear the parking lot of the Silt R.iver
Preserve was destroyed due to high winds. At the time af the destruction the baid eagles
were actively using the nest to incubate eggs which were also destroyed in the incident" A,t
this nest sliould no longer be considered active or even existing. The adult bald eagles have
moved to the other existing nest tocated on the island of the Freserve. At this time CPW
would be comfortable removing any exisiing buffer distances and timing restrictions for the
destroyed nest for nearby construction or {and use atterations. Currentty there has been no
new activity by any bald eagtes at this location to raise any concerns of CPW.
White the nest is currentiy destroyed there'is the possibiiity that the bald eagles cieEide to
rebuild the nest at or near the location of where the nest was destroyed. At this time a new
nest would not be constructed within the timeframe for nesting timing restrictions and the
!:ald eagLes wiil not be abte to have any more eggs this year. CPW wi{l continue l* monitor
the area for any ba{d eag[* nest {onstructjon. lf a new nest is constructed CFW wilt inform
the Garfield C*unty Planning cnmmittee in future land use comrnents and recomrnend
appropriate buffers as well as liming restrictions.
lf yar: hav* any questlons or conrerns, ptease reach out to Districl Wildtife fulanager Travj:

To whom it may concern, I Tyler Terry with Garfield County Road and Bridge met with Joel Ruiz on
s/n/zazsto look at 3 driveways on CR 346/3il,,2 of them being existing driveways that go with his !
current residents 7005 County Road 346 and one potential driveway off CR 331^, The two existing
driveways are up to Garfield County standards, and I have no issues with the newly proposed access off
cR 331 if it meets Garfield county standards outlined in the driveway application form.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have been asked by Joel Ruiz to provide some input on the bald eagle nest near the Silt
River Preserve and its current status as it may impact some planned construction across
County Road 346 near the intersection with County Road 331.
Unfortunately on April 5th, 2022 the bald eagle nest near the parking lot of the Silt River
Preserve was destroyed due to high winds. At the time of the destruction the bald eagles
were actively using the nest to incubate eggs which were also destroyed in the incident. At
this nest should no longer be considered active or even existing. The adult bald eagles have
moved to the other existing nest located on the island of the Preserve. At this time CPW
would be comfortable removing any existing buffer distances and timing restrictions for the
destroyed nest for nearby construction or land use alterations. Currently there has been no
new activity by any bald eagles at this location to raise any concerns of CPW.
While the nest is currently destroyed there is the possibility that the bald eagles decide to
rebuild the nest at or near the location of where the nest was destroyed. At this time a new
nest would not be constructed within the timeframe for nesting timing restrictions and the
bald eagles will not be able to have any more eggs this year. CPW will continue to monitor
the area for any bald eagle nest construction. If a new nest is constructed CPW will inform
the Garfield County Planning committee in future land use comments and recommend
appropriate buffers as well as timing restrictions.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to District Wildlife Manager Travis
Bybee at 970-985-5882
Sincerely,
Travis Bybee, District Wildlife Manager
Garfield County
Road & Bridge
To whom it may concern, I Tyler Terry with Garfield County Road and Bridge met with Joel Ruiz on
8/19/2025 to look at 3 driveways on CR 346/331, 2 of them being existing driveways that go with his
current residents 7005 County Road 346 and one potential driveway off CR 331. The two existing
driveways are up to Garfield County standards, and I have no issues with the newly proposed access off
CR 331 if it meets Garfield County standards outlined in the driveway application form.

EL RANCHO MINOR SUBDIVISION PROJECT NARRATIVE
This application is for the division of a 45.387 acres Parcel (#21791013001), which is located south of Silt
Colorado
at County Road 346, into a minor subdivision consisting of three lots. The proposed lot sizes are
as follows: Lot 1 – 9.526 acres, Lot 2 – 31.676acres, and Lot 3 – 4.185 The site is zoned Rural
and there is currently a house built with an OWTS system in place a water well.
ARTICLE 7 - DIVISION 1: GENERAL APPROVAL STANDARDS
Section 7.101: Zone District Use Regulations
The subject property is currently zoned Rural and the proposed minor subdivision will not change this.
Section 7.102: Comprehensive Plan and Intergovernmental Agreements
The Comprehensive Plan includes relatively few policies which provide direct guidance with respect to
the proposed subdivision. The Future Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan establishes the
broad land use and density for future development within the County.
The proposed subdivision in in conformance with the applicable zone district: Rural, minimum lot size 2
acres, with the proposed lot sizes as follows: Lot 1 – 9.526 acres, Lot 2 – 31.676 acres, and Lot 3 – 4.185
acres, which are all well above the minimum lot size allowed. The subject property is not located within
any unincorporated community, or water and sewer service area, nor is there any regional center, town
center, rural employment center or village center mapped in the area where the subject property is
located.
The County desires to retain the rural character of the area and the proposed subdivision would provide
that with the creation of a mere two additional lots, in which agricultural and grazing uses can remain.
As far as recreation, open space, and trails, the subject property does have the Dry Hallow Creek
running through lot 2 which will remain intact. There is no fishing or rafting activity that would be
interrupted.
No significant visual impact is expected with the creation of the three lots.
Based on the current regulations, by dividing the property now in in the proposed manner, the
individual lots cannot be subdivided again, therefore the agricultural land will be protected from
infringement of higher density uses.
The proposed subdivision will comply with the designated Rural Zoning District, which allows residential
lots with a minimum lot area of two acres. The proposed lot sizes would allow for continued agricultural
and grazing uses, with minimal impact on adjacent agricultural operations.
Section 7.103: Compatibility
The surrounding properties are zoned rural with a mix of Rural Residential and Agriculture/Grazing Land
Use . There are a few adjacent properties ranging in size from 2 acres to 40 acres. The proposed land
2
use will change from Agriculture and Grazing to Residential Medium High (1 du per 2 - <6 acres),
whereas the zoning will remain Rural, protecting the existing character of the area. The proposed lot
sizes are larger than the minimum two acres required for this designation, and will allow for small scale
agriculture and grazing to continue.
Section 7.104: Source of Water
The owners have obtained contracts for water from West Divide Water Conservancy District. WDWCD
has approved one well per proposed lot.
Section 7.105: Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems

Furthermore, each new lot owner is responsible to install their own separate OWTS, attached is the
preliminary soils evaluation for each lot for future on site wastewater systems prepared by High
Country Engineering, Inc.
All septic systems will be engineered by a qualified professional.
Section 7.106: Public Utilities
The only public utility the subject property and proposed lots will have is electricity By Holycross Electric
provided is a will serve letter. Each lot will have its own water supply water well. Wastewater system,
and propane tank will be the responsibility of each lot owner. There are existing power lines running
along Hwy 346 and Hwy 331. Lot 2 is already serviced. Lot 1 and 2 will get their own transformers from a
separate pole. Underground electricity service lines will be brought from the existing poles to each
dwelling.
Section 7.107: Access and Roadways
Lot 1 and lot 3 will have their own legal entrance and direct access to County Road 331 Lot 2 has a legal
entrance in place from County Road 346. Per attached letter from Garfield County Road and Bridge,
there is adequate space for safe access to the county road on the South side of the property. There will
be no public roadways within the subdivision. No roads proposed, only driveways to future single family
dwellings and allowed accessory buildings.
Section 7.108: Use of Land Subject to Natural Hazards
The subject land does not have the following natural and geologic hazards: falling rock, landslides
radiation or snow slides. Dry hallow Creek runs through lot two, flooding zones noted on plat.
