General Special Use Permit Requirements (§ 5.03)
1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on
accepted engineering standards and approved by the Board of County
Commissioners shall either be in place or shall be constructed in
conjunction with the proposed use.
Staff Comment
Well Permit number 87371 allows water use for "ordinary household purposes of up to 3
single family dwellings." In addition, the Applicant has submitted a letter from Peter
Borner, PE which indicates that the ISDS "should handle any temporary larger loads to
that system" as a result of the additional dwelling unit. This standard is met.
2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated
by the proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use
shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the
proposed use;
Staff Comment
Main access to the proposed dwelling units will be from an existing driveway. This
driveway is accessed from County Road 100. As there is not an expected increase in
traffic from this request, Staff feels that the existing driveway is adequate. This standard is
met.
3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from
adjacent uses of land through installation of screen fences or landscape
materials on the periphery of the lot and by location of intensively utilized
areas, access points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect
established neighborhood character,·
Staff Comment
The proposed two-family dwelling is in character to the surrounding properties and should
not adversely impact surrounding owners. If approved, the applicants shall use minimal
lighting that is shielded to prevent light trespass on other properties and is inward and
downward facing towards the structure. This standard is met.
2. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the Board
of County Commissioners.
2. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and
complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all
interested parties were heard at that meeting.
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed Special Use Permit is in
the best interest of the health, safety, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of
3
the citizens of Garfield County.
4. That the application is in conformance with the Garfield County Zoning Resolution
of 1978, as amended.
3. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends APPROVAL, with the following conditions:
1. All representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated at the
hearing before the Board of County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions of
approval unless otherwise modified by the Board.
2. All lighting associated with the dwelling units shall be the minimum amount necessary.
All exterior lighting shall be shielded to prevent light trespass on any adjoining
property and be downward facing towards the structure.
3. The applicant shall obtain any applicable Garfield County access, building and grading
permits.
4. The Applicant shall meet all requirements of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of
1978, as amended, and shall meet all building code requirements. ·
4. RECOMMENDED MOTION
"I move to approve the Special Use Permit request for a Two-Family Dwelling for a property
located at 5325 County Road 100 with the conditions proposed by Staff."
