PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
REQUEST: An exemption from the definition of
subdivision.
APPLICANT: Tamera (Duplice) Foster
LOCATION: A tract of land located in Section 12, T6S,
R92W of the 6th P.M.; approximately two (2)
miles east of Silt, south of Interstate 70, along
the I-70 frontage road.
SITE DATA: 10.0 Acres
WATER: Individual wells
SEWER: Individual sewage disposal systems
ACCESS: I-70 Frontage Road
EXISTING ZONING: A/I
ADJACENT ZONING: A/I
I. RELATIONSHIP TO '111l: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is located within District D - Rural Areas/Moderate Environmental
Constraints and District F - Floodplain/Severe Environmental Constraints, as designated by
the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan's Management Districts Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: This 10.0 acre tract is located south of Interstate 70 and north of
the Colorado River, approximately two (2) miles east of Silt. The tract is quite level,
pasture land with an existing well and the extreme eastern portion of the tract has
been raised with fill -dirt. An access road and the Silt Pump Canal run along the
southern property boundary and another ditch runs parallel with the frontage road,
along the northern edge of the tract. See vicinity map, page
Adjacent Land Uses: The area is predominantly agricultural; however, there are a few
single family homes scattered in the vicinity.
C. Proposal: The applicant requests to subdivide, by exemption, the 10.0 acre tract into
two (2) parcels of approximately 4.0 and 6.0 acres each. Although it is not explicitly
stated in the application, the existing zoning and the recently issued well permit could
allow single family dwellings on both parcels and a5,000 square foot greenhouse on
the westerly parcel. See sketch map, page /1 .
111. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. Subdivision Regulations: Section 8:52 of the Garfield County Subdivision
Regulations states that "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, and
is 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) or natural feature, preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and
the division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural feature, 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;"
It appears the subject property was created in 1979, from a larger tract by an
approved exemption. Research by staff has not been able to uncover a Resolution for
this exemption; however, the Planning Department does have a file and
correspondence indicating the approval of the request, creating three (3) parcels of
10, 10 and 22 acres. A check of Assessor's records indicates no other exemptions
have been sought on any of these lots; therefore, it appears this request complies with
Section 8:52 (A) of the subdivision regulations. See deeds and supporting
information, pages
B. Zoning: The subject property exists within the A/I zone district, which designates a
minimum lot size of two (2) acres. All proposed lots are in excess of this minimum
lot size requirement. Given the location of the subject property, floodplain maps were
consulted and it is obvious the pro erty is within the floodplain of the Colorado River.
See floodplain map, page l 6 . For this reason, the applicant has engaged
Zancanella and Associates to analyze the floodplain and its influence on the property.
The engineering report has shown that the Silt Pump Canal acts as a dam, preventing
water from flowing back toward the river until the elevation of the water reaches
approximately 5450 feet at the western terminus of the property. In this location, a
36 inch culvert has been installed and, above the culvert, the access road acts as a
spillway, controlling the flood water elevation. Recent field investigations have
shown that the culvert was running at capacity, with ponded water resulting upstream
of the culvert. However, the ponding effect did not result in artificially elevating the
water above the 100 -year floodplain limits, as shown on figure 4 of the report. Based
on this analysis, the report concludes that portions of the property are outside the
100 -year floodplain and could be developed for residential and other purposes. The
recommended, minimum elevation for any habitable structure on the property is
5453.5 feet, which would be outside the 100 -year floodplain. Staff recommends that
any development proposed within the floodplain by required to receive a floodplain
special use permit. See floodplain report, pages.
C. Water: The water supply for this proposal would be derived from individual wells
that, at one time, were permitted by the State Engineer's Office. The lar r lot has
an existing, household use only well (See Permit No. 177828, page / ) and
the smaller lot is the subject of a recently issued permit that would allow for up to two
(2) single family dwellings and the o eration of a 5,000 square foot greenhouse. See
permit No. 046710-F, page / . The existing well has been pump -tested at
least twice, with results varying between 20 gpm with a two (2) foot drawdown, to
four (4) gpm with no drawdown calculations. Given the location of the well staff
presumes there is ample, physical water for the proposed uses. See pump test
Sinformation, page 2. It appears that both these well permits have expired
and, as a condition of approval, staff recommends that the well permits be reissued
and the well on the smaller parcel be drilled and pump -tested, prior to final approval.
D. Sewer/Soils: The method of waste water treatment is proposed to be the use of
individual sewage disposal systems. According to the Soil Conservation Service, soils
on-site are predominantly of the Wann sandy loam classification, characteristically
deep and somewhat poorly -drained. When used for building site development and
placement of ISD systems, these soils are considered to have severe limitations,
chiefly due to excessive wetness. Staff suggests a plat note be included to address
these limitations.
E. Access: It appears access has been granted to the 10.0 acre parcel by the Colorado
Department of Highways. See permit, page ZZ . There is an existing access
located at the northeastern corner of the proposed, six (6) acre parcel and the State
highway Department has recently issued an access permit for a new driveway that
would access the proposed, four (4) acre parcel. See Permit, page .
F. Fire Protection: A letter from the Burning Mountains Fire Protection District has
been submitted with thg application, indicating the property is within the fire district.
See letter, page . Staff recommends the inclusion of a plat note to address
wildfire mitigation.
G. Easements: Any required easements for drainage, utilities, access, water supply, etc.,
will be required to be shown on the exemption plat.
H. School Site Acquisition Fee: The applicant will be required to pay a school site
acquisition fee of $200, for the creation of the exemption parcel.
Comments Received: A neighboring landowner has submitted photographs, dated
April 14-16, 1996, showing a substantial amount of water standing on the property.
As mentioned earlier, portions of the property are within the 100 -year floodplain of
the Colorado River, which appears to be the source of some of this water. Additional
sources of water are likely derived from adjacent, irrigated lands.
J Staff Comment: The floodplain of the Colorado River and its affect on the subject
property is significant to the point of causing concern that the land is only marginally
developable. However, the engineering study submitted supports the likelihood that
the property can be developed, as long as certain mitigational measures are taken.

Dear Mr. Fields:
Poyv
Based on theGarlield County Board of County Commissioners minutes of September 10, 1979,
it appears that the Board approved an exemption from the definition of subdivision to create
three tracts of 10, 10 and 22 acres from a 42 acre parcel owned by John Peterson. For some
reason, no resolution was ever put into the Planning Department files or the Board's files to
verify the action. Regardless, it is apparent that the 10 acre tract you purchased from Mr.
Peterson is one of the 10 acre tracts approved by the Board in 1979.
Based on the above statements, this office can issue building permits for structures allowed in
the Agricultural/Residential/Rural Density zonedistrict. lfynu have any additional questions,
you may call or write to this oll ice.

RE: Tamera Foster (Duplice) Exemption - BOCC Meeting 2/21/96 and 8/5/96
Dear Eric:
Zancanella & Associates, Inc. has been requested to investigate potential flooding
concerns raised for the proposed Duplice Subdivision Exemption located near Silt,
Colorado. Water ponding on the property was noted by an adjacent landowner as
represented by pictures on file with the planning department photographed in April of
1996. Additionally, upon review of the property it has come to our attention that the
property is within the 100 -year floodplain for the Colorado River. We have conducted
engineering investigations related to local "on-site" drainage patterns as well as
identifying building envelopes related to floodplain limitations. This letter has been
prepared to summarize our investigations.
The property consists of approximately 10.0 acres and is proposed to be spilt into two
parcels varying in size between 4.0 and 6.0 acres. The property is located in NW1/4 of
Section 12 Township, 6 South, range 92 West of the 6th P.M. approximately one and a
half miles east of the Town of Silt as shown on the attached general location map
(Figure 1). The property currently does not have any structures and has historically
been utilized for agricultural purposes. Site visits have been conducted in September
of 1996, April of 1997, and May of 1997.
The property is bordered on the north by a concrete irrigation ditch lateral that runs in a
westerly direction, on the south by the Silt Pump Canal, and on the west by a drainage
channel as shown on the attached property schematic (Figure 2). The area near the
canal sits on a bench approximately three feet lower than the rest of the property and
includes three small ponds and a drainage ditch. This area drains to what is the
current natural drainage channel for areas north of the interstate. This channel is
located west of the property and discharges through a culvert under an access road of
the Silt Pump Canal. Based on the disturbed soils, it appears that the culvert has
recently been replaced as also evidenced by a damaged 36 -inch diameter culvert on
site.
Page lb
Local Drainage
During the most recent field visit (May 28th), water was observed ponding on the
property in the lower bench area similar to what was shown in the 1996 photographs.
We observed the culvert under the Silt Pump canal to be operating near capacity under
submerged flow conditions causing a backwater affect flooding the lower bench area on
the Foster property. Based on the vegetation in the backwater areas we believe that
the ponding has not been an historic condition which has existed since the construction
of the canal in the mid 1960's. The recent backwater affect could either be caused by
increased flows in the area tributary the natural drainage or by a reduction of capacity
of the new culvert.
A blocked culvert would back water up to the elevation of the canal access road which
is approximately 1 -foot higher than the current water elevations at the property. The
flooding from such an event would however be Tess than the 100 -year floodplain
elevations at the site. We believe restrictions placed on the subdivision by the
floodplain, as identified in this letter, will protect the proposed structures from any
development from any existing ponding or potential future 100 year flooding.
The second area of local drainage concern noted at the property is the potential inflow
of flood irrigation water from the adjacent property to the east. The topography in this
area forces water to flow in a southwestern direction as shown on Figure 2. We
understand that fill material has been placed along the eastern property boundary to
direct the irrigation flows to the drainage ditch on the southern end of the property. We
recommended that a drainage ditch or swale be constructed between the fill area and
the property boundary. The new drainage ditch has been constructed and field has
been observed in the field to be operating properly. We have also recommend that the
drainage ditch on the southern property boundary be cleaned due to years of low
maintenance. This ditch cleaning has also been completed.
100 -Year Floodplain
Inspection of available floodplain mapping from the Garfield County Building and
Planning Department has indicated that a portion of the subject property is located
within the 100 -year floodplain (Zone AE). The mapping was prepared as part of a joint
study conducted by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and Colorado Water
Conservation Board in approximately 1987 and is currently used by the county for
floodplain management. The analysis utilized hydraulic modeling software and
topography developed from 1982 aerial photos. We understand that the results of the
analysis were not finalized in standard floodplain mapping panels typically prepared by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as part of the National Flood Insurance
Program.
Page -2-
The available 100 -year floodplain mapping and water surface elevations near the
property are shown on the attached Figure 3. As can be seen on Figure 3, the area
upstream of the property has bank overtopping occurring along the Colorado River.
The 100 -year flood flow exceeds the carrying capacity of the main river channel in this
area resulting in shallow "flood fringe" depths. Upstream of the diversion point for the
Silt Pump Canal the flood flows on the north side of the river channel are less than one
foot of depth. Near the diversion of the canal (water elevation 5454) the depth is
approximately 0.2 feet. The upstream canal bank at this location forces a portion of the
100 -year flood flows towards the subject property. The canal embankment acts as a
restriction forcing the waters trapped behind the canal to stay higher than the main
flood flow being carried in the main river channel. The approximate property location
and floodplain limits are shown on Figure 4. The 100 -year floodplain should be
identified on the subdivision plat.
The water trapped behind the canal embankment flows in a northwesterly direction until
it reaches the open natural drainage channel. The drainage channel is carried through
a culvert under the canals access road as discussed previously. The area near the
road controls the discharge back to the lower river water surface elevations. We
believe the area behind the canal acts as a separate stream channel from the main
Colorado River channel with inflow controlled by the upstream diversion above the Silt
pump Canal and outflow controlled by the access road elevations located to the west of
the property. Flood flows through the eastern portion of the property will have channel
flow characteristics while the western area would experience a ponding effect. Future
activities around the Silt Pump Canal should be monitored to insure negative affects to
the floodplain (placement of additional fill) does not increase water elevations.
It is our opinion that portions of the floodplain at the property are within the "flood
fringe" area (less than 1 -foot of depth) and can be filled without affecting the water
surface elevations of the 100 -year floodplain. We have identified these limits on Figure
4. Any structures constructed in these areas will require the placement of fill up to the
floodplain water surface elevation. We recommend that structures constructed at the
property should have a minimum floor elevation of 5453.5 feet. To insure that the
placement of fill in the floodplain on Parcel B (east lot) does not create a backwater
effect to the upstream land owner to the east, we recommend that any fill placed in the
floodplain be borrowed from the area south of the fill zone. This will offset any cross
sectional flow area lost to fill to be made up from the excavated area. We believe
additional options exist at the property for improving the developable area but would
require a more detailed hydraulic modeling analysis which is outside the scope of this
review.
Page -3-
Conclusion
Portions of the Foster property are within the 100 -year floodplain as a result of bank
overtopping of the Colorado River. We believe there exists additional areas within the
floodplain at the property which could be developed if desired by the property owners.
These areas are within shallow flood fringe depths and would require the placement of
fill to elevate any structures above the floodplain elevations. The lowest floor for any
habitable structures at the property should be constructed at a minimum elevation of
5453.5 feet (no basements). Following conditions outlined in this letter, we believe
there would not be any adverse effect to the existing floodplain water surface
elevations resulting from placement of fill in the flood fringe areas. Additional areas
could be potentially developed at the site but would require a detailed hydraulic
modeling analysis.
We believe that with proper maintenance of the drainage ditches at the property and a
properly functioning culvert under the Silt Pump Canal there will not be chronic
backwater flooding problems like those experienced recently on the lower bench area
of the property. In the event conditions were to remain the same, or if backwater
conditions were to increase as a result of the Silt Pump Canal access road culvert
becoming plugged or partially blocked, the restrictions imposed by the 100 -year
floodplain limits would protect any structures from localized flooding conditions.
If you have any questions please call our office at (970) 945-5700.
Very truly yours,
Zancanella & Associates, Inc.

Atten: Tammy
On May 4, 1994 a well test was conducted on a well located
near Silt, Co. off frontage road near the river. The following
information was obtained;
Well depth 50'-0"
Casing size 7"(steel)
Standing water level 2'-0"
Drawdown to pump intake
Production is 4 gpm
Hardness 27 grains/gal
Iron 3.3 mg/1
pH 7.5
If the information on this well is correct the well has
silted in and lost production due to non use. I would recommend
that a driller be brought in to clean the well back to bottom
and redevelop the well. In addition it may need to be acid
treated if the development does not work. The well should then
be retested. The current production would be only enough for
a single residence. If you have any questions please call me
Raun Samuelson at 945-6309.
Sincerely;
Raun Samuelson
