Home My WebLink About2.0 BOCC Staff Report 07.02.1990• 1 BOCC 7/2/90 PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS REQUEST: An Exemption from the Definition of Subdivision. OWNER: Clarence and Betty Dawson LOCATION: NW 1/4 NW 1/4 Sec. 25, T5S, 91W; located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of New Castle off C.R. 245. SITE DATA: The site is 20 acres in size. WATER: Proposed use of existing well. ACCESS: Existing private drive off C.R. 245. EXISTING AND ADJACENT ZONING: A/R/RD I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The subject property is located in District D - Rural Areas/Moderate Environmental Constraints as designated on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan Management District's Map. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL A. Site Description: The subject property is a 20 acre parcel located on the west side of C.R. 245, the property slopes moderately downward from the roadway and graduates into bottomland along the creek terrace. The property is partially treed with the majority in pasture. The property is divided naturally along an east/west axis by a ridgeline which crosses the property. The site currently contains an older log home and several outbuildings. B. Project Description: The applicants wishes to divide the 20 acre parcel into two (2) 10 acre parcels. The applicants will construct a single family residence on the new parcel. C. History: The applicant's 20 acre parcel was divided off of a 40 acre tract in December 1973. This has been the only division of the original tract, as recorded, since 1973. In 1984, the applicants applied to the Board of County Commissioner and received conditional approval, for an exemption splitting the 20 acre parcel into a five (5) and two ten (10) acre parcels. No exemption plat was ever recorded and the parcels were never created. III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS 1. The applicants are proposing to use the existing driveway onto C.R. 245. A roadway has been constructed to the proposed building site on the property. 2. The proposed building site is an area of potentially expansive and corrosive soils. An engineering report and/or design for the foundation and wastewater system may be warranted. No significant slope -related problems exist. • 3. The Silt -New Castle Fire Protection District can provide fire protection. They have requested that the applicants provide a 500 gallon storage for reserve purposes. 4. The applicants are awaiting a determination as to the status of an unregistered well on the applicant's property. The well was originally permitted for domestic and irrigation use, which would allow for up to 3 residences on this well. According to local Division of Water Resources staff, obtaining a permit for this proposed use should not present a major obstacle. IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. The proposal is in general compliance with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan and the Garfield County Zoning Regulations. 2. The proposed land use would be consistent and compatible with the existing surrounding land uses. 3. If the noted access concerns can be adequately addressed, the proposal is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County. V. RECOMMENDATION APPROVAL, subject to the following conditions: 1. All representations of the applicant shall be considered conditions of approval unless otherwise stated by the applicant. 2. The applicant shall have 120 days to complete the required conditions of approval. Extensions of 120 days may be granted by the Board for a period of up to one (1) year. 3. The applicants shall provide a minimum of 500 gallon water storage capacity. 4. The following note shall be included on the plat: 1) Engineered foundations and wastewater systems may be required. 5. The access easement shall be recorded on the exemption plat. 6. The applicant shall submit $200 in School Impact fees. 7. Prior to the approval of the resolution, the applicants shall obtain a permit from the Division of Water Resources providing household water for both parcels. 201 212? -242-00-096 Taxing Area no 2-HC(SF) Taxing Area no 2.1-1 S•F 1•S 0 NI V_LNIVIV tb 43 0 -1) 1 T .14 0.
