Ranch Subdivision Sketch Plan Application Dear Mark: Attached herewith are fifteen copies of a Sketch Plan and supplemental information as required for sketch plan review and a check for the application fee of $325 for the above referenced property. Also attached is a check for $485.00 to the Colorado Geologic Survey for their review fee. The proposed subdivision property is approximately 17.1ocated in the northwest corner of the Hwy 82 and County Road 100 intersection. On behalf of the owner, Mary Ann Hyde, 1 request that this application be placed on April 12th agenda of the Planning and Zoning Commission. SKETCH PLAN INFORMATION: Name: T.O. Ranch Subdivision Owner: The Mary Ann Hyde Revocable Trust CIO Mary Ann Hyde, Trustee P.O. Box 1557 Aspen, CO 81612 Ph. 925 -3571: fax 9 Planner: Land Design Partnership 918 cooper Ave. Glenwood Springs, Co 81601 Ph. 945 -2246; fax 945 -4066 1 Engineer /Surveyor: High Country Engineering 923 Cooper Ave. Glenwood Springs, Co 81601 Ph. 945 -8676; fax 945 -2555 Existing Conditions: The property is an L shaped tract with frontage on Hwy 82 and on County Road 100 with access from the county road. The property slopes very gently from the north to the south with a total grade change of 22 feet. The rising grade to the north side of the property appears to be the result of alluvial depositions discharged from a drainage feature located north from the westerly area of the site. Engineering analysis at the time of preliminary plan will assess if there is any debris flow hazards that might influence the site. The building site on Lot 3 and possibly on Lot 2 may need to be located on the easterly portions of these lots to avoid any debris flows or shallow flooding. Grading plans for these lots prepared by a qualified engineer may easily mitigate any risks. About half of the property is currently used as irrigated horse pasture. The westerly portion of the site has not been intensely grazed for some time and has been partially inundated with brush willow as a result of poorly maintained irrigation ditches. The potential for wetlands in this northwesterly corner of the property will be investigated prior to preliminary plan submission. No tree or other shrubby plant material exists on the site. The property is zoned Agriculture / Residential / Rural Density and is designated Medium Density Residential (one dwelling per 6 -9 acres) by the Area I Comprehensive Plan. Residential uses are located to the west, north and northeast of the property. Across County Road 100 to the east are active irrigated hay fields and to the south across Hwy 82 are the Catharine Store commercial property and the Aspen Equestrian Estates Planned Unit Development. Description: Three single family Tots are proposed for the property. With 17.7 acres and a proposed density of one lot per 5.9 acres the project is slightly over the recommended Comprehensive Plan minimum density of 6 acres per dwelling. However, due to the easy access to Hwy 82, we request that the subdivision be approved with the allowance of accessory dwellings. It is anticipated that further documentation at the time of preliminary plan will show the availability of ground water and sanitary leach field percolation characteristics which are capable of supporting the additional dwellings. At the time of building permit, proof of adequate water and sewer service would need to be presented. The accessory units of course add a component of 2 housing diversity that is encouraged by the Comprehensive Plan. Access is provided per Garfield County Road Design Standards with a 40 foot wide right -of -way and a 16 foot wide gravel road with 2 foot shoulders. A Y driveway split is proposed at the end of the access road to serve as an emergency vehicle turn around with 50 foot radius curves. Sewer: Individual disposal systems are proposed for the property. SCS soil survey mapping identifies a single soil type for the property ( #13 — Atencio — Azeltine Complex). This soil is well suited for residential development with the exception of being underlain by gravelly conditions that have potentially rapid percolation. This may necessitate additional care in the design of the sanitary disposal system to alleviate concern for possible contamination of groundwater. All individual sewage disposal systems should be designed by a qualified engineer. Percolation test and soil analyses will be conducted prior to the preliminary plan to more accurately assess the soil conditions at the site. Water: Domestic water will be provided by individual wells on each site. Even though the property has good irrigation water rights, the domestic water rights needs of the subdivision well be satisfied through contracts with the Basalt Water Conservancy District. The irrigation water from the Basin Ditch will be retained at the site for irrigation purposes. Existing wells in the immediate area surrounding the site have good physical production records. No fire protection water storage is proposed for the property. In -house fire protection sprinkler systems will be required on residences over 3,600 square feet in size by typical fire code requirements. The project will be subject off-site road impact fees as required by Garfield County regulations. It is expected that due to the small number of dwelling units proposed, the School District will prefer to receive cash in lieu of land as calculated by the newly adopted dedication regulations. Electrical service will be provided by Holy Cross Electric, phone by US West and natural gas by KN Energy. Cable TV may not be available to the site. Radiation Hazard: No site specific radiation studies have been conducted at the site but analysis on the Aspen Equestrian Estates site across Hwy 82, with the same SCS soil category, did not indicate any unusual risk from radiation. Impact On Lakes, Streannnd Topographv: Blue Creek, a distance of one half mile from the site, is the closest open water stream or lake. Sediments generated by construction disturbance at the site will be controlled at the site and any fugitive sediment or pollutant discharge will be filtered by the hundreds of feet of vegetated ground surface between the site and Blue Creek. The topography of the site is very 3 gentle and development will have very minimal impact on the native terrain. LAND USE SUMMARY: Existing Zoning: Total Development Area: Total Number of Lots: Agriculture 1 Residential / Rural Density 17.7 acres 3 Total Number of Dwelling Units: Primary Units 3 Accessory Units 3 Total 6 Total Area of Non - residential Floor Space: 0 Total Number of Dwellings per Structure: one + one accessory unit Total Number of Off- street Parking Spaces: 18 Minimum of four parking spaces per lot without accessory dwelling, Six with accessory dwelling. Density: 2.95 acres per dwelling unit (including all possible accessory dwelling units) 5.9 acres per lot RELATIONSHIP TO THE ROARING FORK VALLEY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The following describes how the proposed T.O. Ranch Subdivision is in general conformance with the new Garfield County Comprehensive Plan for Study Area I as identified by Section III Goals of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan dated September, 1995. Section 111 -1.0 Public Participation Goal: An integral part of County land use planning is the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process. The project proposal will be reviewed at two publicly noticed hearings at which the public will be given the opportunity to comment on the proposed project. 4 Section Ill -2.0 Housing Goal: To ensure the availability of housing including affordable housing in the County where in short supply, subject to regulations, which ensure safety, appropriate site designs, compatibility, and protection of the natural environment. The proposed division creates lots that are compatible with the surrounding residential uses. Approval of accessory dwellings will create the opportunity for greater housing diversity. Section 111 -3.0 Transportation Goal: Ensure that the County transportation system is safe, functional, appropriately designed to handle existing and future traffic levels, and includes options for the use of modes other than the single- occupant automobile. Direct access to County Road 100 within 500 feet of the Hwy 82 intersection equiped with a traffic light and deceleration lanes will minimize any traffic impacts from the proposed development. Section III -4.0 Commercial and Industrial Uses Goal: Commercial: Garfield County will encourage the retention and expansion of convenient, viable, and compatible commercial development capable of providing a wide variety of goods and services to serve the citizens of the County. No commercial uses are proposed. Convenience commercial service is located within 1/4 mile of the proposed residences. Section III -5.0 Recreation and Open Space GOAL: Garfield County should provide adequate recreational opportunities for County residents, ensure access to public lands consistent with BLMIUSFS policies, and preserve existing recreational opportunities and important visual corridors. The spacious lots will meet many of the recreational needs of the development residents. The property does not control access to any public lands. Section III -6.0 Agriculture Goal: To ensure that existing agricultural uses are allowed to continue in operation, and compatibility issues are addressed during project reviews. It is anticipated that with the availability of irrigation water a portion of the property will 5 continue to be used for horse pasture. in fact, some areas of the site that have, in recent years been neglected, will likely be returned to productive, quality pasture. Section 111 -7.0 Water and Sewer Services Goal: To ensure the provision of legal, adequate, dependable, cost effective, and environmentally sound sewer and water services for new development. With forethought for properly engineered sanitary leach fields the site will accommodate individual disposal systems with minimal risk to ground water. Water is readily available from the alluvial gravel of the Roaring Fork Valley floor. Section 111 -8.0 Natural Environment Goal: Garfield County will encourage a land use pattern that recognizes the environmental sensitivity of the land, does not overburden the physical capacity of the land, is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of Garfield County. The proposed access road and building sites will have no impact on wetlands or other sensitive environmental areas. At the northwest corner of the site wetlands might exist but are not impacted by the proposed development. Section 111 -9.0 Natural Resource Extraction Goal: Garfield County recognizes that under Colorado law, the surface and mineral interests have certain legal rights and privileges, including the right to extract and develop these interests. Furthermore, private property owners also have certain legal rights and privileges, including the right to have the mineral estate developed in a reasonable manner and to have adverse land use impacts mitigated. The site lies over potentially valuable gravel resources but the limited size of the property and surrounding residential uses would make it very difficult to extract this resource. Section 111 -10.0 Urban Areas of Influence Goal: Ensure that development and overall land use policies occurring in the County that will affect a municipality are compatible with the existing zoning and future land use objectives of the appropriate municipality. The property is not located within any urban area of influence. Section IV METHODOLOGY Purpose and Applicability of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map: This section identifies the property as being within the Medium Density Residential Land Use 6 District. This district proposes one dwelling unit per 6 to 9 acres. The density of the proposed division is 1 single family lot per 5.9 acres. If each lot were to construct an accessory dwelling the gross project density will be 2.9 acres per dwelling unit. The proposed lot sizes are generally larger than the immediately surrounding residential parcels. The Aspen Equestrian Estates Subdivision, immediately south of Hwy 82, is of a much higher density (1.16 acres per dwelling). The accessory dwellings would add an element of diversified housing that is encouraged by Section III -2.0 of the Comprehensive Plan. if you have any questions or desire any additional information please call me at the above referenced phone numbers.

The native vegetation is mainly grasses and shrubs. Elevation is 5,900 to 6,500 feet. The average annual precipitation is 15 to 18 inches, the average annual air temperature is 44 to 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is 105 to 120 days. This unit is about 60 percent Atencio sandy loam and 30 percent Azeltine gravelly sandy loam. Included in this unit are small areas of soils that are similar to the Atencio and Azeltine soils but are finer textured. Also included are small areas of gravel bars. Included areas make up about 10 percent of the total acreage. The Atencio soil is deep and well drained. It formed in alluvium derived dominantly from sandstone and shale. Typically, the surface layer is reddish gray sandy loam about 6 inches thick. The next layer is sandy loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is about 10 inches of sandy clay loam over about 4 inches of gravelly sandy loam. The upper 6 inches of the substratum is gravelly sandy loam_ The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is very gravelly sand. The soil is noncalcareous to a depth of 20 inches and calcareous below that depth. In some areas the surface layer is gravelly or cobbly. Permeability is moderate to a depth of 30 inches in the Atencio soil and rapid below this depth. Available water capacity is low. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight. The Azeltine soil is deep and well drained. It formed in alluvium derived dominantly from sandstone and shale. Typically, the surface layer is reddish gray gravelly sandy loam about 9 inches thick. The upper 7 inches of the substratum is gravelly loam. The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is extremely gravelly sand. The soil is calcareous throughout. In some areas the surface layer is cobbly loam or sandy loam. Permeability is rapid or very rapid below a depth of 16 inches in the Azeltine soil_ Available water capacity is low. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight. This unit is used mainly for irrigated hay or pasture. It also is used for crops, urban development, wildlife habitat, or rangeland. If this unit is used for hay and pasture, the main limitations are the low available water capacity and small stones. Grasses and legumes grow well if adequate fertilizer is used. Good management helps to maintain optimum vigor and quality of forage plants. Because these soils are droughty, applications of irrigation water should be light and frequent. Irrigation water can be applied by corrugation, sprinkler, and 23 flooding methods. If properly managed, the unit can produce 4 tons of irrigated grass hay per acre annually This unit is moderately well suited to irrigated crops. If furrow or corrugation irrigation systems are used, runs should be on the contour or across the slope. If properly managed, the unit can produce 70 bushels of barley per acre annually. • The potential plant community on this unit is mainly western wheatgrass, Indian ricegrass, needleandthread, big sagebrush, and Douglas rabbiibrush, Nevada bluegrass, prairie junegrass, and bottlebrush squirreltail also are included. The average annual production of air - dry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre. Suitable management practices include proper grazing use and a planned grazing system. If the quality of range vegetation has seriously deteriorated, seeding is needed. The main limitations are cobbles and stones. For successful seeding, a seedbed should be prepared and the seed drilled. Brush management improves deteriorated areas of range that are producing more woody shrubs than were present in the potential plant community. If this unit is used for homesite development, the main limitation is small stones. Population growth has resulted in increased construction of homes in areas of this unit. Topsoil can be stockpiled and used to reclaim areas disturbed during construction. The gravel and cobbles in disturbed areas should be removed if the site is landscaped, particularly in areas used for lawns. If the density of housing is moderate or high, community sewage systems are needed to prevent the contamination of water supplies resulting from seepage from onsite sewage disposal systems. This map unit is in capability subclass IVe, irrigated, and Vle, nonirrigated. It is in the Rolling Loam range site. 14— Callings Yeljack complex, 25 to 65 percent slopes. This map unit is on ridgetops, benches, and mountainsides. Elevation is 7,500 to 9,500 feet. The average annual precipitation is 18 to 20 inches, the average annual air temperature is 39 to 41 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is 70 to 80 days. This unit is about 50 percent Callings soil and 40 percent Yeljack soil. Included in this unit are small areas of Mine, Arle, Ansari, Jerry, Millerlake, Uracca, and Mergel soils. Included areas make up about 10 percent of the total acreage. The Callings soil is deep and well drained. It formed in alluvium and colluvium derived dominantly from sandstone. Typically, the surface layer is dark brown loam about 5 inches thick. The next 6 inches is gravelly loam. The subsurface layer is very cobbly clay loam * * * * * NU CUNSIDER.ATIUN REQUIRING REVENUE * * * * * • Reception Yn�9 corder.
