III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Section 8:10 (Applicability - Exemptions) states that the Board has discretionary
authority to except a division of land from the definition of a subdivision.
Following a review of the facts of each application, the Board may approve
conditionally or deny an exemption request. The Board may not grant ant.50r30v� ,„
exemption unless the applicant can demonstrate compliance with ?enu g, legal Fk.i-I""T'°NS
access, adequate water and sewer, state environmental health standards,
necessary road and drainage improvements, fire protection, adequate easements,
and school impact fees.
2. Subdivision Regulations. Section 8:10 states that the Board may approve a total
of four (4) lots, parcels, interests, or dwelling units, as that parcel was described
in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorders Office on January 1,
1973. Z. /►4. (_ *ydyt 1,4 1°ls3 wovt,p = 9 Lors
I �a, �rlax�w DANso�, 1.4 1,1%3-
However,
q%3However, any parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by a public right-of-
way or natural feature, preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the
division occurs along the public right-of-way, such parcels thereby created, may,
at the discretion of the Board, not Ibe considered to have been created by
exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, or dwelling unit limitation
otherwise applicable. This does not preclude further subdivision via the full
subdivision review process mandated by C.R.S. 30-28-133 and the County
Subdivision Regulations.
As indicated on the vicinity map, the subject parcel is divided by County Road
214. Lo -c Size MET
3. Legal Access. Legal access for both of the parcels is via County Road 214,
which is a two-lane undivided roadway in good condition. The most recent
traffic volumes collected along this segment of roadway indicatde an ADT of
approximately 500 vehicles. Legal access is not an issue with the proposed
exemption.
4. Adequate Water and Sewer. The 7.31 acre parcel, witi the applicants are
intending on retaining, has an existing permitted well for stock. Based on
conversations with The Division of Water Resources, a new application would
be necessary to convert the well to domestic uses.
The applicants are proposing to provide water to the additional parcel from a
new domestic well. To the best of staff's knowledge, no formal well permit
applications have been submitted to the Division of Water Resources. However,
discussions and documentation with Dwight Whitehead indicate that no
administrative or statutory barriers exist to prevent well permits from being
obtained in the larger exemption parcel. As long as a parcel is 35 acres or more
it would qualify for an Exempt Domestic Well Permit.
Sewer service will be provided by I.S.D.S. Only Moderate solid limitations are
indicated by the SCS soils information. A review of High Groundwater and
Septic System Limitations mapping conducted by Lincoln-Devorelindicate no
significant constraints to the use of I.S.D.S. on the site. \ (.Ae�
2
��UC
• •
5. State Environmental Health Standards. The proposed exemption is consistent
with applicable State Environmental Health Standards.
6. Necessary Roadway and Drainage Improvements. No additional roadway
improvements are necessary to provide adequate, safe access to both exemption
parcels.
Drainage may present isolated difficulties depending precise building locations.
Slope Hazard mapping conducted by Lincoln Devore Testing Laboratory
identified portions of the property as an area of moderate hazard, typical of
areas in the County with debris fans and minor rockfall areas. Building sites in
these areas may require detailed geologic investigation, engineering studies, test
drilling, strength tests and stability analysis.
Mitigation in these areas is usually possible, and carefully located building
envelopes are recommended. (The relationship between the project site and the
hazards mapping is shown on Exhibit 2 on page• 4, . .)
7. Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by the New Castle -Silt Fire
Protection District. L..E. t .Q. (egos5 TALP i )
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper posting and public notice was provided as required for the meeting
before the Board of County Commissioners.
2. That the meeting 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 exemption 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. That all representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated
at the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners, shall be considered
conditions of approval.
2. That the applicant shall have 120 days complete the required conditions of
approval. Extension of 120 days may be granted by the Board for a period of
one (1) year.
3. The applicant shall submit $200.00 in School Impact Fees, prior to the signing
of an exemption plat.
3
• •
4. A final Exemption Plat will be submitted, indicated the legal description of the
property, dimension and area of all lots or separate interests to be created, access
to a public right -a -way, and any proposed easements for drainage, irrigation,
access or utilities.
5. The applicants shall demonstrate availability of domestic water by providing
well permits prior to the approval of the Final Exemption Plat.
6. The following note shall be shown on the Exemption Plat:
Certain building locations may be subject to slope hazards. All
structures shall require the submittal of an engineering report addressing
geological conditions, foundation design and drainage prepared by a
registered professional engineer.
7. With Board Approval, this split not be considered to have been created by
exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit
limitation otherwise applicable due to the public right-of-way. Any additional
splits of the 163.94 must conform to this requirement.

JUL 2 9 1992 t
GARHELD EL.[ COUNTY
Range 92 West, 6th P.M.
Per your letter dated July 23, 1992 I would like to state the following:
1) It appears this request should bc referred to our engineering branch
in Denver. This would allow for 4 firm commitment on water supply for
this exemption. Although I have a basic understanding of water supply for
subdivision and exemptions, our engineering branch must review and
comment on water supply plans.
2) Regarding the parent parcel creation date, as long as a parcel is 35
acres or more it would qualify for a Exempt Domestic Well Permit. If a
parcel is less than 35 acres the applicant must show HOW and WHEN the
parcel was created to see if they would qualify for a Exempt Household Use
Only Well Permit. June 1, 19/2 is the operating date the Office of the
State Engineer uses to determine if the pa.:cel. is Fre--1972 or Post --1972
when evaluating a well permit application on less than 35 acres.
3) A change in use for any existing well must be evaluated as a new
application. To change the use of Permit No 21770 a permit application
would have to be submitted for evaluation as a new well. It :eight be
possible to change the use to a Exempt Household Use Only Well, although
this proposal should be reviewed by our engineering and ground water
sections. As noted above to qualify for a Exempt Domestic Well Permit an
applicant must have 35 acres or more.
I am enclosing some standard information regarding well permits (Exempt and Non --
Exempt) for your reference.
I hope this information is helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any
questions regarding this matter.
Encl
Sincerely,
22. ti.(

RE: Castle Subdivision Exemption
Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 92 West of the 6th P.M.
Dear Dwight:
Please find enclosed information related to a subdivision exemption request for a parcel of land
in the Silt area. The applicants are proposing to split a 171 acre parcel into two (2) parcels of
163.94 and 7.31 acres each. Apparently, the parent parcel was created prior to January 1, 1973.
Enclosed is a well permit (number 21770) for stock water, which would be converted to
domestic use for the 7.31 acre parcel. The remaining parcel (171 acres) is proposed to be served
by an additional well. Do you foresee any issues related to the applicants proposal regarding
domestic water supply for either of these parcels?
This matter has not been scheduled for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners,
pending your comments regarding the possibility of obtaining domestic water supply for both
of these parcels. Any comments regarding this matter would be appreciated. If you have any
questions, please call me at 945-8212.
