RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN This parcel of land is located in Study Area I of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan and is in general conformity with the Issues, Goals, Objectives, Policies and Programs outlined in Section III. II. INTRODUCTION/DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL: The applicant is seeking permission to turn his basement into a mother-in-law apartment, i.e. a two family dwelling unit. Because this is a basement and an elderly person will be housed here the question of safety is extremely important. The applicant has stated that the water table for this area is low and the basement has never flooded. Also, there are two ingress/egress points to this basement unit, one extemal and one internal. III. GARFIELD COUNTY ZONING RESOLUTION: Approval or denial of this application depends on how well the applicant's proposal conforms to the criteria listed in the Garfield County Zoning Resolution, Chapter 5.03 Conditional and Special Uses: As listed under the Zone District Regulations, conditional and special uses shall conform to all requirements listed hereunder and elsewhere in this Resolution plus the following requirements: (1) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on acceptable 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. Currently the unit in question has City (Glenwood Springs) water and sewer (West Glenwood Sanitation District). The proposed addition will utilize City water and West Glenwood Sanitation services. (2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volumes 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. (3) This will be a second family -unit; trip generation should be less than ten trips per day. CR 130 is adequate to handle this increased capacity. 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. This is a basement unit and therefore part of the main house. The only exterior element of this addition is a stairwell that currently exists. IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS: 1. That proper posting and 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 the pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at the meeting. 3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed Special Use Permit is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County. 4. That the application is in conformance with the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended. V. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends APPROVAL, with the following conditions: 1. All work, interior or exterior will conform to the Safety and Building Codes of Garfield County.

Planning Department Garfield County TO: Board of County Commissioners and Members of County Planning Commission Garfield County Courthouse 109 8th Street Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 FROM: Robert F. Metzler, Owner (Residential Property Garfield County Parcel # 218506200016 102 County Road 130 -Donegan Road Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601) Business Address: P. O. Box 1198 Idaho Springs, Colorado 80452 RECEIVED OCT 0 October 1, 2000 SUBJECT: STEPHEN F. WELLER, SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPLICATION, TO CHANGE A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE INTO A TWO FAMILY DWELLING UNIT. I am writing this letter to you to express my objection and to ask that you deny the aforementioned petition/request to change the Petitioner's single family residence into a two family dwelling unit. My single family residential property which includes a house and land approximately one half acre is located directly across from Mr. Wellers residence and is contiguous and parallel to the 20 foot driveway/lane that services both the Huff and Weller residences as well as my property. I purchased my property knowing the use of the property and immediate neighborhood was and is for single family dwellings. I have owned this property almost 24 years. It is very apparent that the petitioned change of use from single family to multi -use or that of a duplex -two family use would have a very dire and negative impact and no doubt decrease the property value of my property. In addition there are other negative issues relating to the environment, safety, increased traffic, noise and overall degradation to the quality of living and the setting in this serene neighborhood, The small lane/driveway currently in use becomes congested and the increased occupational density intensifies the problem. 2000 Again, I am compelled to ask you to take in consideration my concerns as well as many others that arise and ask you to deny the request for a change in property use or zoning of the petitioned property that has been requested. The proposed change will have long term negative impacts . I remain available to respond to my request to you should you desire to contact me. I can be reached through my business address or by telephone at 303-567-2785. Your responsibility in fulfilling your role and responsibilities is appreciated. Sincerely, () -7Y Robert F. Metzler
