I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is located in Districts C and D, Rural
Areas with Minor/Moderate Environmental Constraints as
designated on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan
Management Districts map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL:
A. Site Description: The site is located in a rural portion
of the County with adjacent land uses primarily
consisting of single family residential and agricultural.
Improvements on the property include a single family
residence and associated outbuildings. The majority of
the property is irrigated farmland.
B. Project Description: The applicants are proposing to
divide the 162 parcel into two tracts of 5 and 157 acres
in size. The applicants intend to sell the 5 acre parcel
(with the improvements) and retain the remaining 157
acres.
C. History: The subject property includes 8 lots of the
Antlers Orchard Development, a subdivision approved in
1908. The Subdivision Regulations prohibit the splitting
of subdivided lots through the exemption process.
However, since the proposed division will not split any
of the existing subdivided lots there appears to be no
conflict with the regulations. The 5 acre portion to
be split out is not a part of the Antlers Orchard
Subdivision. Since all the lots are owned by one owner
on one deed, they are considered one building site.

III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. The property is served by an existing well which provides
domestic as well as some irrigation water. The well,
constructed in 1924, is currently unregistered. The
applicants have applied to the Division of Water
Resources for authorization to use the well for both of
the proposed parcels.
B. Evidence indicates that there are no soil limitations or
other environmental constraints that would preclude
homesite development on the 157 acres.
C. Utilities are currently available to the property.
D. Both parcels would have frontage on County Road 260.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper posting and public notice was provided as
required by law 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
APPROVAL, with the following conditions:
1. That the exemption plat shall identify the waterline
easement from the well as well as all irrigation ditches.
2. That the applicants shall demonstrate authorization from
the Division of Water Resources to use the well for
domestic purposes on both of the proposed parcels.
3. That the applicants shall pay $200 in School Impact Fees.
4. 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 unless an extension of approval is granted by
the Board of County Commissioners prior to the expiration
of the 120 day time limit.
5. That all conditions of approval be accomplished and an
Exemption Plat be filed within 120 days of Board of
Count\y�, Commissioners approval. ,{ '
