II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PllQPOSAL
A
B.
c
Site Description This is a 36.58 acre tract of land located approximately 7.5 miles
southeast of New Castle along County Road 312 (Garfield Creek Road). The tract
occupies a po11ion of the valley floor of Garfield Creek, near its confluence with
Belodi Creek. Slope across the tract varies, as there are a number of perennial
drainages dissecting the land; however, it does not appear that slope will be a
limitation to this property There are a number of existing, presumably agricultural,
structures on the property. See vicinity map, page• S • .
Adjacent Land U~ Adjacent land uses are largely agricultural with a number of
single family homes scattered throughout the vicinity.
Proposal : The applicant is petitioning to divide , by exemption, the 36.58 ac' tract
into two (2) parcels ofl0.85 and 25.73 acres each. See sketch map, page• • .
Apparently, an earlier exemption was requested and approved by the Board, creating
a parcel of land situated southwest of CR 312 . The petitioner is making application
using the 'natural feature' criteria, whereby the physical presence of Garfield Creek
creates an impediment to joint use of the tract See narrative , page • 7 • .
Ill. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A Slibdivision Regulations : Section 8 52 of the Garfield County Subdivision
Regulations states that "No more than a total offour (-1) lots, parcels, interests or
dwelling units wiif be crea ted from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the
records of the Gatjield Co unty Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973, and
is not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by
exemption that is sp lit by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County
road or railroad) or natural feature, preventingjoint use of the proposed tracts, and
the division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural.fea ture, such parcels
thereby crealed may, in the discre1ion of the Board, not be considered to have been
created by exemption with regard to the.four (4) fol, parcel, interest or dwelling unit
limitation otherwise applicable;"
A deed submitted with the application indicates the petitioner purchased the property
in 1978; along with the purchase of the tract of land was the purchase of a significant
amount of water rights See deed, pag~ 8 • .
The petitioner is requesting this exemption based on the 'natural feature' criteria of
Section 8 52 (A) of the Subdivision Regulations Based on staff's interpretation of
this Section of the Regulations, the split caused by the creek is not significant enough
to prevent "joint use" of the tract in question . However, given the Board's recent and
histo1ic interpretations of this criteria, staff leaves the decision to the discretion of the
Board.
B. Zoning: The subject property is within the A/R/RD zone district which mandates a
minimum lot size of two (2) acres . Both proposed lots are in excess of this minimum
requirement.
C. Water: The water supply for the proposed lots would be an existing well that would
be shared . The applicant has submitted an approved well permit (No . 101871) for
d~Jstic use; however, the permit specifies "Household" use . See well permit, pages
_n JQ . Jn discussions with the Division of Water Resources, it appears the well
has been pe1mitted for use in a single household only . If the applicant intends to serve
both proposed lots with this well , it will be necessary to apply to the Division to
amend the well permit and request the full use of the [domestic] well. Included with
this staff report is a copy of the amendment procedure, attached on page I J• I Z.
Additionally , the applicant will be required to demonstrate an adequate physical
supply of water and record well and water supply easements.
D. Sewer/Soils: The applicant intends to serve both parcels with individual sewage
disposal systems for waste water treatment. According to the Soil Conservation
Service, soils on-site are varied among four ( 4) chief classifications The four soils,
Ascalon-Pena complex, Cimarron loam, Detra fine sandy loam and the Nihill channery
loam, when used as building sites and placement of ISD systems, are considered to
have moderate to severe co nstraints . Only the Nihill soil is considered to have slight
constraints to use of ISD systems. Staff recommends a plat note address these soil
limitations.
E. Access Access to the two (2) proposed lots would be from CR 312. Parcel 1 would
have direct access to the county road and Parcel 2 would have access to CR 312 via
an easement across Parcel 1 and, staff assumes, a bridge over Garfield Creek. Staff
suggests that all easements be surveyed and included on an exemption plat and be
recorded in the Clerk and Recorder's Office, prior to the authorization of the plat.
F Fire Protection The petitioner has include with the application a letter to the "New
Castle Fire District," requesting approval from the district for this proposal. To date,
staff has not received acknowledgement that the prope11y is within the b,.oundaries of
the District and will be continued to be served. See letter, page•/~ -. Staff
recommends any approval be subject to receiving this information . Staff further
suggests the inclusion of a plat note to address wildfire mitigation
G Easements: Any required easements for drainage, utilities, access, irrigation ditches,
water supply, etc , will be required to be shown on the exemption plat.
H. School Impact Fees The applicant will be required to pay school impact fees of
$200, for each lot created by this exemption.
I. Potential Road Impact Fees · Upon adoption of a road impact fee, the exemption
parcel created by this exemption will be subject to paying that fee; paid at time of
building permit application, paid by the building permit applicant. This provision shall
be included as a plat note .
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
l. 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
If, in the discretion of the Board, the Board feels that Garfield Creek creates a sufficient
impediment to joint use of the tract , staff would recommend APPROVAL oft he application,
pursuant 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 . A Final Exemption Plat shall be submitted, indicating the legal description of the
property, dimension and area of the proposed lots, access to a public right-of-way,

appropriate modification to recognize the increased rate of fire spread at sloped sites.
The methodology described in "Determining Safety Zone Dimensions, Wildfire Safety
Guidelines for Rural Homeowners ," (Colorado State Forest Service) shall be used to
determine defensible space requirements for the required defensible space within
building envelopes in areas exceeding five (5) percent grade."
"Upon adoption of road impact fees by the Board of County Commissioners, the lots
created by this exemption shall be subject to paying the fees, paid at time of building
permit application , paid by the building permit applicant"

system. There is no assumption that a household use only well will be a dependable
water supply . Any purchaser of a parcel of land that was created by this exemption
reserves the right to use the proposed central water supply."
"The shared well system approved for this exemption requires either an individual
water storage tank , minimum capacity of 1000 gallons, be installed at each lot or a
central storage tank, the sizing shall be a minimum of l 000 gallons per lot created and
served by the central water system . This shall be done at time of building permit
application at the expense of the building permit applicant"
"Soil conditions on the site may require engineered septic systems and building
foundations . Site specific percolation tests at the time of building permit submittal
\ shall determine specific ISDS needs on the site."

CONSIDERATIONS AND BACKGROUND FOil POLICY MEMO 93-4
Page 2
PROBLEM
A procedure adopted in 1981 or 1982 required all porrnits, upproved under the provisions of Sections
37-92-602(3)(b)(ll) as the only well on a tract of 35 acres or more, to Im limited to serving one slngle -
famlly dwelling unless specifically indicated otherwise In the applicntion . Tl 1is has resulted in additional
work ar\d expense for the Division, and additionnl expense for 1110 woll ownors when applications for
extended use of the existing wells were required.
DISCUSSION
-The existing procedure was a response lo a bollef \hat If we did not limit use on t110so 35 + aero tr acts
to only one dwelling, a proliferation of divisions of land would occur from countios oxempting certain
divisions of land. This would result in un Increased potential for Injury to other water rigl1ls in
overappropriated systems : · · -
It has been the Division's experience that our restrictions did not rnsult in a reduction of the number at
divisions of land that were oecurrlng; and that our proeadure only forced well owners to apply for permits
to extend the use 'of tho Ir existing wells; whlcii wotilcfthen bo approved 'Since the Divisiori did not find
that thero was sUtficlerit evidence ot lnJUry'fo'overcoMe the preslirnptioriS us provided In Section 37 -92 -
602(3)(b)(ll)(A). -n11s ultimately only resulted In lncreas-ed worl< for the Oiiiisioh In approving well permits
whose cost Is not fully fundGd by the well permit application fees .
_, ' .. _,b i :;
'•
SOLUTION
Tllree :optlqns appear to be avallablG.
1. Continue the current procedurn of limiting to one dwelling, unless otherwiso requested,
and require filing of an application to e){pand the use of t11e well
2_ Establlsl1 a now policy that wlll allow app.roval for up to thrcrn 3lngle family dwellings, for
all rrnw JHHmits approved for dornostlc type use on 35+ acre tracts, and will allow for
amending exlstl.ng permits.
3. nevoke tl1e current procedure concerning new well permits, but do not adopt a new
policy.
f~ECOMMENDATION
Tl1e Second optior 1 appears to be tile most reasonable sin c e It provides clear direction to the start and
public, and reduces costs.
