PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
PROJECT NAME Senate Bill 35 Exemption Request
APPLICANT/OWNER: Mark Arnove
LOCATION: 5 miles southeast of Glenwood
Springs on County Roads 115 and
114.
PURPOSE:
To split a 60 acre tract into 4
tracts of 4.1, 5.4, 15.1 and 35
acres each.
QUALIFICATION: Owned 5+ years; also, split to son
and daughter
ZONING: A/R/RD
WATER:
Proposed shared domestic well on 3
smaller tracts; proposed new well
on 35 acre tract.
SEWER: Individual septic systems
ACCESS: County Roads 115 or 114.
1. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
This parcel lies within District B (Subdivisions/Rural Serviceable Areas -
O to 1/2 mile radius) of the County Comprehensive Plan.
District B density may be the same as the existing subdivision, but should
not exceed three (3) units per acre. Developments within District B shall
connect to an existing central water system or construct its own central
water system. The proposed density is consistent with the Plan, but the
individual wells proposed are not consistent with Plan language for
technical services.
II. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS:
A. Staff Comments:
1. There are existing residences on the proposed 5.4 and 15.1
acre tracts. These are currently served by the existing domestic
well and individual septic systems.
2. In June, 1981, the Garfield County Board of Commissioners
passed a resolution determining that further subdivision in the
Spring Valley area of Garfield County impacting County Road 115
was premature unless an applicant was able to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Board that such division would not add traffic
to that portion of County Road 115, known as the Red Canyon Road,
or otherwise impact the Garfield County road system in the Spring
Valley area (see Resolution 81-175, page 53 ).
The Board will need to make a determination of the impacts of this
exemption on the area road system in relation to that previous
resolution.
B. Review Agency Comments:
In a phone conversation with Keith Kepler of the State Division of
Water Resources on March 30, 1983, he indicated that shared use of
the existing domestic well would be approved; and it appears that
the applicant will be able to serve an additional well permit for
the remaining 35 acre tract. (Letter forthcoming)
