The Board of County Commissioners has the discretionary power to exempt a division of land from
the definition of subdivision and thereby from the procedure in these Regulations, provided the Board
determines that such exemption will not impair or defeat the stated purpose of the Subdivision
Regulations nor be detrimental to the general public welfare. The Board shall make exemption
decisions in accordance with the requirements of these regulations. Following a review of the
individual facts of each application in light of the requirements of these Regulations, the Board may
approve, conditionally approve or deny an exemption. An application for exemption must satisfy, at
a minimum, all of the review criteria listed below. Compliance with the review criteria, however,
does not ensure exemption. The Board also may consider additional factors listed in Section 8:60
of the Subdivision Regulations.
A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created
from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to qualify for exemption, the parcel as
it existed on January 1, 1973, must have been 35 acres or greater in size at that time and
not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that
is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad),
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 be considered to
have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling
unit limitation otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tracts of land 35 acres
or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by
exemption since January 1, 1973.
2.
All Garfield County zoning requirements will be met; and
C. All lots created will have legal access to a public right-of-way and any necessary access
easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained; and
D. Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of both the legal and
physical quality, quantity and dependability, and a suitable type of sewage disposal to
serve each proposed lot. Proof of a legal supply shall be an approved substitute water
supply plan contract; augmentation plan; an approved well permit; legally adjudicated
domestic water source or a contract for a permanent legal supply of domestic water to be
hauled from an outside site for a cistern. Proof of the physical supply from a well for the
public meeting, may be documentation from the Division of Water Resources that
demonstrates that there are wells with 1/4 mile of the site producing at least five (5)
gallons/minute. Prior to the signing of a plat, all physical water supplies using a well shall
demonstrate the following:
1) That a four (4) hour pump test be performed on the well to be used;
2) A well completion report demonstrating the depth of the well, the
characteristics of the aquifer and the static water level;
3) The results of the four (4) hour pump test indicating the pumping rate in
gallons per minute and information showing drawdown and recharge;
4) A written opinion of the person conducting the well test that this well
should be adequate to supply water to the number of proposed lots;
5) An assumption of an average or no less than 3.5 people per dwelling unit,
using 100 gallons of water per person, per day;
6) If the well is to be shared, a legal, well sharing agreement which discusses
all easements and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of
the system and who will be responsible for paying these costs and how
assessments will be made for these costs.
7) The water quality be tested by an approved testing laboratory and meet
State guidelines concerning bacteria and nitrates.
For water supplies based on the use of cistern, the tank shall be a minimum of
1000 gallons.
E. Method of sewage disposal, and a letter of approval of the fire protection plan from the
appropriate fire district; and
F. All state and local environmental health and safety requirements have been met or are in
the process of being met; and
G. Provision has been made for any required road or storm drainage improvements; and
H. Fire protection has been approved by the appropriate fire district; and
3.
I. Any necessary drainage, irrigation or utility easements have been obtained or are in the
process of being obtained; and
J. School fees, taxes and special assessments have been paid.
(The school impact fee is $200.00 for each lot created)
PROCEDURES
A. A request for exemption shall be submitted to the Board on forms provided by the
Garfield County Planning Department. Two (2) copies of the application, maps and
supplemental information shall be submitted.
B The Planning Department shall review the exemption request for completeness within
eight (8) days of submittal. If incomplete, the application shall be withdrawn from
consideration and the applicant notified of the additional information needed. If the
application is complete, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the time and place of
the Board of County Commissioners meeting at which the request shall be considered. In
either case, notification shall occur within fifteen (15) days of submittal.
C. Notice of the public meeting shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to
owners of record of land immediately adjoining and within 200 feet of the proposed
exemption, to mineral owners and lessees of mineral owners of record of the land proposed
for exemption, and to tenants of any structure proposed for conversion. The exemption site

provided by the Planning Department. All notices shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) and not
more than thirty (30) days prior to the meeting. The applicant shall be responsible for mailing

listed in Section 8:52. Compliance with the review criteria, however, does not ensure

and the applicability standard of Section 8:10, to determine whether the exemption,
in the Board's discretion, shall be approved or denied.
8-3
8:52 The Board shall not grant an exemption unless the division proposed for exemption
has satisfied the following criteria:
A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will
be created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the
Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to
qualify for exemption, the parcel as it existed on January 1, 1973, must have
been larger than thirty five (35) acres in size at that time and not part of a
recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by an exemption that
is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal Highway, County road or
railroad), preventing joint use of the proposed tracts and the division occurs
along the public right-of-way, such parcels thereby created may, in the
discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been created by exemption
with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation
otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tract of land thirty
five (35) acres or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973, will count as
parcels of land created by exemption since January 1, 1973.
B. All Garfield County zoning requirements will be met;
C. All lots created will have legal access to a public right-of-way and any
necessary access easements have been obtained or are in the process of being
obtained;
D. Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of both the
legal and physical quality, quantity and dependability, and a suitable type of
sewage disposal to serve each proposed lot;
E. All state and local environmental health and safety requirements have been
met or are in the process of being met;
F. Provision has been made for any required road or storm drainage
improvements;
G. Fire protection has been approved by the appropriate fire district and impact
fees are paid, based on a study of the fiscal impact on the district by new
subdivision development, approved by the Board of County Commissioners
and Planning Commission.
H. Any necessary drainage, irrigation or utility easements have been obtained or
are in the process of being obtained; and
I. School fees, taxes and special assessments have been paid.
8:60 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
In the evaluation of each petition for exemption, and in addition to the review criteria
in Section 8:52, the Board shall consider the following:
A. General conformance with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan;
B. Compatibility of the proposed exemption with existing land uses in the
surrounding area;
8-4
C. Recommendations of any municipality within two (2) miles of the proposed
exemption, or within three (3) miles, if the municipality has a major street
plan;
D. Recommendations of any state or local agency or organization whose opinion
the Board determines is necessary or appropriate;
E. Suitability of soil, water, vegetation, geologic and topographic characteristics
of the land for the type of division proposed;
F. Number of lots and/or multiple -dwelling units created by the proposed
exemption;
G. Provision for open space within the proposed exemption;
H. Proposed density and provisions for adequate off-street parking; and
Covenants and plat notes, restricting the lots to the following:
1. One (1) dog will be allowed for each residential unit within a
subdivision and the dog shall be required to be confined within the
owner's property boundaries. The requirements shall be included in
the protective covenants for the subdivision with enforcement
provisions allowing for the removal of a dog from the area as a final
remedy in worst cases;
2. No open hearth solid -fuel fireplaces will be allowed anywhere within
an exemption. One (1) new solid -fuel burning stove as defined by
C.R.S. 25-7-401, et. sew., and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, will be allowed in any dwelling unit. All dwelling units
will be allowed an unrestricted number of natural gas burning stoves
and appliances; and

lighting be the minimum amount necessary and that all exterior

iOt €sNxas submitted by your office concerning the Gilbert Exemption Request I have ascertained the
attached, what I believe to be the title history of this parcel of land
will turn your attention to the first deed of sale by and between Ingersoll and Doak (19 June 1945), I can
;'for 68 -acres of land (two parcels, one 17 -acres; the other 51 -acres) and an undetermined amount
mentioned in the last two sentences of the first paragraph description of land sale. Sale price of this parcel of
land was seventy five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). In the copy of Resolution 78-133 it appears that the 51 -acre
parcel of land increased to 58 -acres and then split into two parcels of 42 and 16 acres respectively. If the
undetermined amount of land mentioned in the original 1945 sale totalled 8 acres that would give us a total
acreage, in both instances, of 75 -acres but I did not see anything in your submittal that stated that directly.
If the undetermined land totalled 8 acres that would account for the sales price of $7,500; 75 acres of land and
water rights for $100 per acre. However 8 acres is a fairly substantial piece of land not to be mentioned in a title
deed or deed of sale someplace. At your convenience could you point out where the additional 8 acres came
from?
Thank you for your time and attention to this master.

Gilbert Exemption History
This 75 -acre parcel of land has existed since the 1945 sale from Ingersoll to Doak.
At that time this parcel was split into two pieces of land (17 and 51 acres respectively) by a county road.
In 1979 the larger of the two parcels of land was split by Exemption into two parcels of land consisting of
42 and 16 acres respectively (Resolution Number 78-133). From the smaller of the two parcels the
following occurred: In 1978 the Doak heirship granted by quit claim approximately one-half of an acre to
Garfield County for public use right-of-way. In 1981 again the Doak heirship quit claimed approximately
one-hundredth of an acre to the City of Rifle, again for the use of public right-of-way.
The Doak heirship transferred the property to the Gilbert -family; Jim and Jackie, by Last Will and
Testament in 1986. In 1986 the Gilbert -family conveyed to the State Department of Highways, Division of
Highways, State of Colorado for public use right-of-way approximately one sixth of an acre.
Therefore two Exemption for this property should still exist.

20 SOIL SURVEY
This soil is suited to production of Engelmann spruce
and Douglas -fir. This soil can produce 3,850 cubic feet
of wood per acre every 10 years from a fully stocked,
even -aged stand of 100 -year-old trees. Steep slopes
affect timber harvest, and special care is needed to
prevent erosion.
Elk, deer, black bear, and grouse find habitat on this
soil.
Slope and large stones limit community development.
Special design overcomes these limitations.
This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated.
26—Farlow-Rock outcrop association, steep. This
broadly defined map unit consists of moderately steep to
steep Farlow soils and Rock outcrop on mountainsides.
Elevation ranges from 8,000 to 10,500 feet. The Farlow
soil formed in residuum from limestone. The average
annual precipitation is about 19 inches, the average
annual air temperature is about 38 degrees F, and the
frost -free period is less than 75 days.
The Farlow soil makes up about 65 percent of the
association, and Rock outcrop makes up about 25 per-
cent.
The Farlow soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the
surface layer is dark grayish brown channery loam about
10 inches thick. The substratum is light gray and pale
brown very channery loam and extremely flaggy loam
about 32 inches thick. Weathered limestone is at a depth
of 42 inches.
Permeability of the Farlow soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about
40 to 60 inches. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion
hazard is moderate.

27—Halaquepts, nearly level. This broadly defined
unit consists of deep, somewhat poorly drained to poorly
drained, nearly level and gently sloping, salt -affected
soils in narrow foothill valleys, on fans, and on low ter-
races. Slopes are 0 to 6 percent. These soils formed in
alluvium.
The soils are extremely variable. The upper 24 inches
ranges from loam to clay, and the underlying layers are
generally gravelly. The soils are commonly gleyed from
the surface down. Stratified sand, gravel, and cobbles
are at a depth of 24 to 40 inches. In some areas, gravel
and cobbles are at or near the surface.
Included with these soils in mapping are small, isolat-
ed areas of Arvada, Limon, and Heldt soils that have
slopes of 1 to 6 percent. Small areas of severely alkali -
affected soils are identified by an alkali spot symbol.
These areas make up 10 to 15 percent of the map unit.
The water table is at or near the surface at times,
mainly during spring and summer. The level of the water
table is strongly influenced by the seasonal water level in
nearby streams and rivers and higher lying irrigation
ditches. Water seeps from the ditches into these soils.
These soils are subject to rare or occasional flooding.
This unit is used mainly for grazing.
Some hay is grown in areas drained by ditches. Yields
are low because of saline condition. Alkali -tolerant
grasses and legumes must be grown for productive hay
and pasture.
The native vegetation consists of willows, tamarisk,
cottonwoods, and alkali- and water -tolerant grasses.
Game birds, rabbits, deer, and other wildlife find habi-
tat on these soils. Ducks and geese nest in the more
swampy areas. Mourning doves nest in the cottonwoods
and tamarisk. Rabbits and deer find adequate food and
cover on these soils. Where the soil has been drained
and is suitable for hay and pasture, planting food plots,
trees and shrubs, and nesting cover enhances habitat for
upland wildlife. Where the water table is high, open
water for waterfowl can be developed by blasting or
excavating.
Community development is limited by flooding and
depth to water table. Onsite investigation is necessary
for appropriate design and construction to overcome
these limitations.

Alfalfa, small grains, and grass or grass -legume mixtures
are grown.
This soil is irrigated by flooding or furrows. Sprinklers
are also suitable. Drop structures in ditches control water
and prevent excessive ditch erosion.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat -
grasses, needleandthread, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
managing grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion. Reducing brush improves the range. Seeding im-
proves range in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass,
western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for
seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are
good practices.
Cottontail rabbit, ground squirrel, and pheasant find
habitat on this soil.
Use of this soil for community development and as a
source of construction material is limited by low strength.
This soil is in capability subclasses llle, irrigated, and
IVc, nonirrigated.
41—Kim loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes. This deep,
well drained, moderately sloping to rolling soil is on allu-
vial fans and benches. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to
6,000 feet. This soil formed in alluvium derived from
shale and sandstone. The average annual precipitation is
about 12 inches, the average annual air temperature is
about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is
about 125 days.
Typically, the surface layer is yellowish brown or light
yellowish brown loam about 17 inches thick. The under-
lying material is light brownish gray loam to a depth of
60 inches. In places the underlying material is stratified
with fine sandy loam.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Arvada and Potts soils that have slopes of 6 to 12
percent. These areas make up 5 to 15 percent of the
map unit.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more.
Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moder-
ate.
This soil is used mainly for crops, hay, and pasture.
Alfalfa, small grains, and grass or grass -legume mixtures
are grown.
This soil is irrigated by flooding and furrows. Sprinklers
are also suitable. Drop structures in irrigation ditches
control water and prevent excessive ditch erosion. Keep-
ing the soil in hay or pasture at least three-fourths of the
time helps to control erosion.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat -
grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush.

Use of this soil for community development and as a
source of construction material is limited by low strength
and steep slopes.
This soil is in capability subclasses IVe, irrigated, and
Vle, nonirrigated.
42—Lamphier loam, 15 to 50 percent slopes. This
deep, well drained, steep soil is on fans and mountain-
sides. Elevation ranges from 7,500 to 10,000 feet. This
soil formed in residuum from sandstone and shale. The
average annual precipitation is about 21 inches, the
average annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F,
and the frost -free period is less than 75 days.
Typically, the surface layer is dark brown loam about
30 inches thick. The underlying material is reddish brown
and dark reddish brown loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Almy soils and Rock outcrop. The Almy soils are at
lower elevations. These areas make up 5 to 10 percent
of the map unit.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more.
Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight.
This soil is used mainly for grazing, wildlife habitat, and
recreation.
The native vegetation is aspen and an understory of
bromes, elk sedge, wildrye, wheatgrass, peavine, colum-
bine, snowberry, serviceberry, and chokecherry.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, forbs,
shrubs, and Kentucky bluegrass increase. Properly man-
aging grazing maintains and improves the understory
vegetation.
This soil is suited to production of quaking aspen. It
can produce 4,050 cubic feet of wood per acre or 6,800
board feet of timber from a fully stocked, even -aged
stand of 80 -year-old trees. At the present there is no
commercial harvest of the aspen. Steep slopes affect
harvesting, and special attention is needed to reduce soil
loss during harvest.
Mule deer, elk, blue grouse, and snowshoe rabbit find
habitat on this soil.
Septic tank filter fields, community development, and
roads are limited by steep slopes. Surface runoff from
snowmelt increases the erosion hazard on cuts and fills.
Seeding reduces the erosion hazard. Roads can be de-

Dear Sandy:
This will confirm that the application for subdivision exemption of Jim and
Jackie Gilbert is pending before the county and that we would ask to have that status
continued for another 30 days. The Gilberts have applied to annex property into the
Town of Rifle and a hearing on that matter is ,August 28, 2001. If an agreement can be
reached regarding water and sewer supply, access from the County to the east, and
zoning, then we will withdraw the exemption request ftorGartield County. If no
agreement with Rifle occurs, the Gilberts wish to continue the process.
