APPLICANTS:Charles & Penny Donelan LOCATTON:Atract of land located within Section 2,T65, R89W ofthe 6th P.M.; approximately two (2) miles east of Glenwood Springs in No Name. SITE DATA:2.07 Acres WATER/SEWE3:Central water/ISDS ACCESS:Access to No Name Lane (CR 129) via easements EXISTING ZONING:R/G/SD ADJACENT ZONING:North, East, West: R/G/SD South: O/S I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSTVE PLAN The property is located in an area that is not adequately addressed in the new Comprehensive Plan, for Study Area I, Land Use Districts Maps, therefore, given the size of the lots and the sizes of the surrounding lots, the proposal is not out of character with adjacent land uses. II. DESCRIPTION OT'THE PROPOSAL A.Site Description: TheZ.O1 acre property is located in No Name, on the south side of Interstate 70, adjacent to property owned by the Englishs', who have also petitioned for exemption. The property slopes gently toward the Colorado River and a number of luge stones are scattered tluoughout the property. See vicinity map, page'J1 B Adjacent Land Uses: The surrounding area is primarily residential with lots varying from 0.25 to 1 acre in size. Rock Gardens, a characteristically dense mobile home and single family home development is located in the vicinity, east of the applicant's property, and the Casa Del Monte subdivision is located west of the subject property. The Bureau of Land Management owns land south of the subject property. o C Proposal: The applicant proposes to divide, by exemption, the 2.07 acre tract into two (2) parcels of approximately 1.0 acre each. The applicant currently resides in the existing home and would like to create the new lot, to either rglocate his residence or sell it as a single family homesite. See sketch map, page-_1ft1. e /O oo Itr. MAJOR ISSIIES AND CONCERNS 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 createdfrom any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January l, I 97 3, and is not a part of a recorded subdivision: however, dny parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad) or rnturalfeahrre, preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural feature, ruch parcels thereby createcl may, in the discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been created by exemplionwith regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limi tation otherwise applicable ; " Zoning'. The property exists within the R/G/SD zone district which designates a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. All proposed lots are larger than this minimum requirement. According to Section 5.04.03 of the County Zoning Resolution, if water will be supplied from a central system (as in this case) the minimum lot size requirement for the use of ISDS is one (l) acre. It appears that both proposed lots conform with this Zoning requirement. Water: The applicant specifies the purchase of additional shares of water from the No Name Creek Water As,gciation OTNCWA) as the water supply for this proposal. An attached letter (page' 7, ) indicates that the water association has water available and will supply the required water. It appears that two (2) additional shares are necessary, one share for a domestic water supply, the other for an irrigation water supply. Apparently, NNCWA has a water right of 2.08 cfs, the equivalent of 933 GPM. Sewer. The applicant proposes the use of individual sewage disposal systems for the lots to be created. Soils on-site, according to the Soil Conservation Service, are of the Ascalon-Pena complex, generally deep and well-drained. Building site development and use of ISDS on these soils carry moderate to severe ratings, generally due to the presence of large stones. Staff recommends a plat note be included to address these potential limitations. A. D E. Deeds submitted with the application de4onstrate the subiect tract existing as of January, 1965. See deeds, ;.g. ?*8 Therefore, it appears this request complies with the provisions of Section 8:52. B C F Acc.ess: Access to the southern lot is proposed to be via an easement across a neighboring @nglish) property. The applicant is currently working with the Englishs in an effort to secure this easement. Assuming the outcome to the English application is favorable to the Englishs (the approval of three lots), an easement will be granted between lots B and C to the southern Donelan lot (see sketch map, page e /O r ). This appears to meet the criteria of Section 8:52 (C), to wit: "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." What is not clear is the possibility that the English request may be approved for two (2) lots, which would bring the access to the Donelan exemption into question. The sketch map shows that enough room exists for an access along the western portion of the Donelan property; however, staffdoes not know the feasibility of this becoming the access to the lot to be created. Fire Protection: The Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection District has commented on this subdivisioq stating this property is within their service district and emergency response will continue, The District further commgnts that this request would work *eit with the English request. See letter, page .l | . . Staffsuggests a plat note be included to address wildfire mitigation. tS 1- oo School Impact Fees: The applicant will be required to pay $200 in school impact fees for the exemption lot. Easements: All required easements (drainage, access, utilities, etc,) will be required to be shown on the exemption plat. Potential Road Impact Fees: Upon adoption of a road impact fee by the County, the lots created by this exemption will be subject to paying that fee; paid at time of building permit applicatioq paid by the building permit applicant. This provision shall be included as a plat note. J Comments Received: Staffhas received comments from an affected neighbor who indicates a desire that the surrounding neighborhood remain as it is. See letter, page-I-- TV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS I That proper posting and public notice was provided as required for the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners. 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. RECOMMENDATTON Staffrecommends APPROVAL of this application, subject to the following conditions 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. 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, and any proposed easements for setbacks, drainage, irrigation, access or utilities. That the applicant shall have 120 days to present a plat to the Commissioners for signature, from the date of approval ofthe exemption. Extensions of up to one (1) year from the original date of approval may be granted by the Board if requested by the applicant prior to the expiration of the original 120 days. That the applicant shall submit $200.00 in School Impact Fees for the creation of the exemption parcel. That the applicant apply for and receive the necessary "shares" of water from the No Name Creek Water Association and provide for the infrastructure necessary to provide sufficient water to the exemption parcel. This shall be done prior to the authorization of an exemption plat. 6. That the following plat notes be included "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." "The minimum defensible space distance shall be 30 feet on level terrain, plus appropriate modification to recognize the increased rate of fire spread at sloped sites. G H I 2 2 3 4 5 t;3- 7 8 o o The methodology described in "Determining Safety Zone Dimensions, Wildfire Safety Guidetines 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." The control of noxious weeds shall be the responsibility of the landowner. That all lots created by this exmeption be a minimum of one (1.0) acre in size. 2 (2 ._-1!

Dear Commissioners, This letter addresses the Subdivision Exemption requested by Charles F. and Penny Lynn Donelan. As an adjacent property owner I will be directly affected by the dividing of their two acre parcel. I moved my family to No Name in 1978 specifically because of the large lots and limited concentration of homes found in that area. Several years ago, when the Casa Del Monte subdivision went in, most of us were upset. But at least these lots were in the 11Alo 2 acre size. Most of us in No Name have assumed that our area was fully developed and stable. Now can we expect all of these larger lots to be subdivided and our concentration in No Name to be doubled? Mine is an emphatic "no" vote. Everything has been fine for everyone, including the Donlan's, since the 1970's. Do we have to see everything change now due to the local real estate demands and everyone's greed? We hope not. Sincerely, e/u"il-c( Charles Lanci 0080 Wildwood Lane Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 O IJ
