CARTER. WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County has received an application from Robert E. Carter for a subdivision exemption relating to tracts of land in SW/4NE/4 of Section 23, Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has carefully considered the said application together with the recommenda- tion of the Garfield County Planning Director, and has further viewed the site of the proposed exemption and has considered the circumstances surrounding the said subdivision exemption request and the subject property; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has made the following determinations of fact: 1. That the public highway most nearly serving the subject prope_ty, Garfield County Road 112, is incapable of safely carrying additional traffic which would be generated by the granting of the requested subdivision exemption; 2. That Roaring Fork School District RE -1 has indicated its unwillingness to serve the proposed tracts, or the access points from the tracts to Garfield County Road 112, with public school bus service, and that in the absence of such service the creation of additional tracts in the area poses a threat to the public safety and health of both children inhabiting the proposed divided site and the safety of other travelers on the subject roadways; 3. That the pressure of the County Road 112 in its present condition generated by additional building sites which would pose a threat to the safety of travelers on said County Road 112 may not, within County funding constraints, be allev- iated in a manner which would lessen the aforementioned hazard and 'permit the said roadway to bear the additional traffic generated by a division such as that presently before the Board; 4. That the proposed division of land falls within the purposes of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations and the statutes of the State of Colorado relating to the subdivi- sion of land within this State; 5. That the proposed division of the subject property, because of steep topography and potential natural hazards, features, and conditions associated with the subject property, makes the division likely to be harmful to the health, safety, and welfare of the future residents of the proposed divided land; 6. That the growth pattern characterized by the pro- posed division of land is of such form and physical shape that governmental inefficiencies and unnecessary public costs and financial burdens will inevitably result from the natural requirement that the County provide extensions of public ser- vices and public support facilities to the divided land, which services and facilities extensions cannot be accomplished in a planned, ordered, or effective manner; 7. That the subject lands are not suitable for subdi- vision under criteria established by the Garfield County Subdi- vision Regulations for the following reasons: a) That the proposed division of land will not be adequately served by existing streets and roads and presents significant problems related to the intensive use of land and the provision of utilities and services; b) That the proposed division of land is part of an existing and potential larger land development project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Garfield, State of Colorado: That the request for exemption form the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations and the subdivision laws of the State of Colorado by Robert E. Carter be and hereby is denied.
