I. DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSAL
The application involves Section 35, Township 5, Range 92 of Antlers Orchard Tracts 6,
7, 8, 9, 10A, 11B, 23B, 24 and Parcel B of the Amended Barrie Exemption Plat.
Philip and Katheryn Barrie purchased parcel 212736200086 (Antlers Orchard Tracts) in
1990. The tracts were platted in 1909 as part of Antlers Orchard and recorded as
Reception No. 37489. Parcel 212735200085 (Barrie Exemption) was also purchased in
1990. The warranty deed is recorded as Reception No. 414354. A quit claim deed
correction was recorded as Reception No. 745080 in 2008. The Barries sold parcel A of
the Barrie Exemption in 1990. An amended plat of the Antlers Orchard tracts and the
Parcels of the Barrie Exemption was recorded in 2009 as Reception No. 779548.
The proposed amended final plat is to adjust the interior property lot lines of the Antlers
Orchard tracts and Parcel B to better address the irrigation ditch alignment access. It also
addresses natural topography for better use of future agricultural and residential purposes
compared to the current configuration of the square tracts originally platted.

III. REFERRAL AND PUBLIC COMMENTS
Referral comments
1. Consulting Engineering, Chris Hale: Noted that the plat proposed 10’ wide public
land access through Tract 7 but the LUDC code for the right or way is 30’. The
public land access easement was platted as a road over the edge of 2 lots in the
2009 plat. Also noted by consulting engineer, that the applicant should verify that
the Farmers Irrigation Company and power company doesn’t have any issues with
the proposed lot lines and easements.
2. Silt Water Conservancy District, Kevin Roberts and Charles Terrell: Farmers
Irrigation Ditch has an exclusive right of way that includes a 50-foot easement on
each side of the water ditch from the water’s edge. Easement isn’t allowed to be
shared with any other entity or used as any type of access through the subdivision.
The board accepts all ditch crossings. They do not require to be install the crossing
at the time of the amended final plat approval. Ditch crossings will need to be
engineered stamp drawings and installed when lots are sold and developed.
3. Colorado Geological Survey, Jill Carson: Noted that Tracts 6 and 8 are impacted
by drainages and debris inundation hazards at or below the mouth of drainages.
Advises that the 2 tracts shouldn’t be platted as proposed without an evaluation
demonstrating that building sites exist outside of the areas exposed to erosion,
slope instability, and debris inundation hazards. Calls out that plat note 22 doesn’t
address geological hazards. Recommends a site-specific hazard investigation to
delineate areas exposed to erosion, slope and debris inundation hazards and to
revise plat to delineate lots with buildable areas that avoid geologic hazards.
4. Garfield County Assessor Office, Casey Lawrence: Noted that plat title should
reflect the Antlers Orchard Tracts numbers and Barrie Subdivision Exemption. Also
notice a bearing/distance closure error on survey that needs to be corrected before
final approval.
5. Garfield County Road and Bridge, Wyatt Keesbery: Has no issues with proposed
entrance location at the corner of CR 260 to make it 4-way intersection with the
county road turning eastbound, a private road north and private road east into the
Barrie parcel.
6. Department of Water Resources, Ailis Thyne: Courtesy review since property is
not a subdivision. Reviewed the use of the current well. The well is allowed to be
used for fire protection, ordinary household purposed for 2 single family dwellings,
watering of poultry/domestic animals and irrigation of no more than ½ acre of home
and garden.
Public comments
Parcel A of Barrie Subdivision Exemption Owner, Paul and Linda Butler: Concerned about
the traffic along the westside of his property.
Neighbor, Lauren Harutun: Has concerns regarding impacts on surrounding properties,
property lines and adverse possessory rights.

IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
Code Analysis
Section 5-305 Amended Final Plat Review
5-305 (c) 1. The application does not increase the number of lots. All Antler Orchard tracts
numbers will stay the same, but acreage is slightly changing from original tract numbers.
5-305 (c) 2. The application doesn’t result in major road relocations. Some roads will use
existing platted areas while driveways will be aligned to existing topography.
North view of proposed road along westside of Track 10A. Southeast view of possible entrance road south of pole.
Currently the private road enters northbound from County Road 260 along the westside
of Parcel A property. The proposed private road is to be moved around the west side of
a mature cottonwood trees and enters Parcel B south of the pole and connects with
existing road just south of the pond.
5-305 (c) 3. The application will correct any technical (surveying or drafting) errors. It will
realign property lines to work with the existing topography.
East view of pond on Parcel B. Southwest view on Track 11B looking at the pond.
Originally the square tracts of Antlers Orchard property lines cross straight through the
pond. With the lot line adjustments, the pond would stay on Parcel B of the Barrie
8
Subdivision Exemption for agricultural use. The current well and well house near the pond
will serve the Parcel B portion of the Barrie Exemption Plat.
Northwest view of highest point of Track 10A hill. North view of topography of Track 6 from Track 11B.
The original plat didn’t account for the ditch and the hilly topography on the northeast
portion of Track 6. The new proposed property lines for the tracks use the topography to
create open space and access to future residential housing. The proposed plat also labels
the 50-foot exclusive easement that Farmers Irrigation Ditch Co has owns since 1945.
Plat Details and Additional Analysis
Final review of the plat by the County Attorney’s office will be required including the title
for the amended plat, edits to the purpose statement, plat notes and certificates,
easement documentation, title certificates and lienholder certificates if applicable. The
Applicant has provided a Title Commitment for the property in support of their
representation that there are no lienholders.
Final edits to the proposed plat shall be completed, reviewed, and accepted by the
County. Some issues that need to be addresses is that correcting the tile of the Plat. It
should read as Amended Final Plat of Tracts 6, 7, 8, 9, 10A, 11B, 23B, 24 of Antlers
Orchard Development Company’s Plat No. 1 and Parcel B Barrie, Exemption. As noted
in a referral, the bearing/distance closure error on survey must be corrected.
A site-specific Geotech analysis on Track 6 and 8 will be required at the time of building
permit. Staff also recommends adding building envelopes to Tracts 6 and 8 due to the
topography, possible slope hazards and to avoid impacts of wetland on the southern
portion of Track 6. Also, a plat note on that each lot will be subjected to Division of Water
Resources policies and permitting requirements associated with pre-existing platted lots
is required. Staff recommends that plat note 21 be that Applicant consults the Colorado
Stage forest Service Firewise Construction guidelines or similar future guidelines for new
construction and landscaping on the amended Tracks.
The Farmers Irrigation Ditch created new issues in the 1st draft of the proposed plat. With
the Farmers Irrigation Ditch Company not allowing their easement to be used as a road,
the proposed road on the westside of the property will be eliminated. This includes the
road crossing over the ditch. A plat note to install ditch crossings at the time of driveway
construction. The engineered plans must be approved by Farms Irrigation Ditch
9
Company. It allows the crossings to be constructed at development time instead of the
amending the plat phase. Grading permits will be required when driveway are
constructed. The main entrance to majority of the tracks will be at County Road 260. It
will create a 4-way stop with the county road, existing private road and proposed private
road. The entrance will be a condition of approved by Road and Bridge.

Hi Heather,.
The board does not have any issues with the planned ditch crossings for the Barrie
Subdivision as long as they follow our process. The Board did vote last night to require all
ditch crossings to be designed and stamped by an engineer. I will call Cathie and let her know
to get her applications submitted to us. It was nice meeting you the other day!

Hi Heather,
It was brought to my attention that there was a minor easement issue in Tract 23B of the
Barrie Subdivision. It appears that our easement and the proposed road share about 20’-30’ on the
southwest corner. Neither FICO or SWCD have any issue with this and are willing to share this small
area of easement. Have a Merry Christmas!

for Antler’s Orchard Tract 6-11, 23-24 & Parcel B of Barrie Subdivision Exemption
Garfield County, CO; CGS Unique No. GA-25-0002
Dear Heather:
The Colorado Geological Survey has reviewed the Amended Final Plat for Antler’s Orchard Tract 6-11, 23-24 &
Parcel B of Barrie Subdivision Exemption (FPAA-04-24-9021) referral. I understand the applicant proposes “to
adjust the interior property lines within the Applicants' overall property to coincide with the existing irrigation
ditch, provide feasible access to each tract / parcel, work with the natural topography, and to ensure better use of
the individual lands for future agricultural and residential purposes compared to the current blocky configuration.”
The proposed plat amendment involves nine lots, tracts or parcels on approximately 122 acres.
Proposed Tracts 6 and 8 are impacted by drainages and debris inundation hazards at or below the mouths of
drainages (see attached figure showing the proposed plat relative to calculated slope angles derived from
high-resolution LiDAR.) CGS strongly recommends a non-buildable setback from steep (>30%) slopes and
drainage channels to reduce risk of damage caused by erosion, slumping, and construction-re lated instability.
Allowable building sites should be located entirely outside of debris inundation hazard areas. It is not clear
that a viable building site exists on proposed Tracts 6 and 8. These tracts should not be platted as
proposed without an evaluation demonstrating that building sites exist outside of areas exposed to
erosion, slope instability, and debris inundation hazards.
The plat note discussed in Section 7-108 Use of Land Subject to Natural Hazards, in the Barrie Subdivision
Amended Final Plat Application (Boundaries Unlimited Inc., April 16, 2024) is inadequate. Plat note 22
does not address geologic hazards.
CGS recommends that the county require a site-specific hazard investigation to delineate areas exposed to erosion,
slope, and debris inundation hazards, and the plat may need to be revised to delineate lots with buildable areas that
avoid geologic hazards.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have questions or need further
review, please call me at (303) 384-2643, or email carlson@mines.edu.

Heya Heather,
I hope you had a great weekend and I hope Monday’s off to a good start for you! I got a chance to look at the Barrie/AOD Amended
Plat and it looks like my concern with the naming convention of the plat has been corrected, but they still haven’t corrected the
Certificate of Dedication and ownership as it still reads:
I think all references to “Barrie Subdivision” need to be removed from the plat since this is an amended plat and not a new
subdivision. Otherwise it looks like the plat contains the same survey data as the draft that I reviewed and approved 9/11/2024, so
once “Barrie Subdivision” is stricken from the plat this looks good to go to me.
I hope this helps, and of course if there’s anything else I can help with please feel free to reach out. Have a great day and stay
warm out there!
Very Best,
Casey D. Lawrence

Tracts 6, 7, 8, 9, 10A, 11B, 23B, 24 and Parcel B, Amended Barrie Exemption Plat
Water Division 5, Water District 39
Dear Heather MacDonald:
We have reviewed the information received November 18, 2024 regarding the above referenced
proposal for a lot line adjustment between tracts 6, 7, 8, 9, 10A, 11B, 23B, 24 and Parcel B,
Amended Barrie Exemption Plat and Boundary Line Adjustment to: decrease the size of tract 6
from 10.26 acres to 7.189 acres, decrease the size of tract 7 from 10.20 acres to 10.029 acres,
decrease the size of tract 8 from 10.15 acres to 10.075 acres, increase the size of tract 9 from
10.13 acres to 12.179 acres, increase the size of tract 11B from 10.23 acres to 10.412 acres,
increase the size of tract 23B from 4.77 acres to 12.814 acres, decrease the size of tract 24 from
12.47 acres to 4 acres and decrease the size of Parcel B from 40.99 acres to 40.691 acres.
This referral does not appear to qualify as a “subdivision” as defined in section 30-28-101(10)(a),
C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer’s March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011
memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the
referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the
adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to
satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein
cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well
permit, or physical availability of water.
The referral information states there is an existing well, permit no. 156882, on Parcel B that is
shared with Parcel A, Barrie Exemption Plat (not part of this referral). The proposed water
source for the lots is individual on lot wells.
Well permit no. 156882 was issued pursuant to section 37-92-602(5), C.R.S. to be used for fire
protection, ordinary household purposes inside two (2) single family dwelling, the watering of
poultry and domestic animals and the irrigation of not more than 1/2 acre of home lawn and
garden. The well is to be located on the proposed Parcel B. Our office has no objection to the
use of the well on Parcel B, so long as the well is operated in accordance with the terms and
conditions of well permit no. 156882. Our office recommends that if the well is shared, a shared
well agreement be made and recorded with the county.
Since no new lots from the pre’72 Antler’s Orchard Subdivision and exemption plats are being
created, and this lot line adjustment is not considered a subdivision by the county, our office
has no comments regarding the subject referral. The ability for the Applicant to obtain well
FPAA-04-24-9021

permits and the allowed use will be determined at the time a permit application is submitted
to and reviewed by the State Engineer’s Office.

I guess my comment would be that it looks like it is just rearranging their interior lots. It
doesn't look like much analysis has been done on how this would affect surrounding properties
with regard to ingress/egress, wildlife flow light pollution or current property line distinctions
some of which have been established through adverse possessory rights over the years. I don't
even know if that is required. All things being equal, I'd like the Barrie's to get what they
desire with as little infringement to current property owners as possible.

Hi Hmacdonald,
I am a land owner that abuts this proposal and I tried to view it on the site you provided
but received an error message stating that the site did not have cookies enabled and
prevented me from viewing it.
Any suggestions? I just want to make sure that all is well as this abuts my property in two
places and his pipe runs under my property.
