PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
REQUEST: Exemption from the Definition of
Subdivision.
APPLICANT: David and Norma Hughes
LOCATION: A tract of land situated in the
NE 1/4, SW 1/4 of Section 22,
T6S, R89W; located on the north
side of Highway 82 approximately
300 feet south of the Glenwood
Springs city limits.
SITE DATA: The site consists of a 1.81 acre
parcel.
WATER: City water
SEWER: City sewer
ACCESS: Existing access drive off
Highway 82.
EXISTING ZONING: C/G - Commercial General
ADJACENT ZONING: C/G and 0/S, Open Space
I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The proposed parcel is located in the Glenwood Springs Urban
Area of Influence as designated on the Comprehensive Plan
Management Districts map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site is located in an urban area
of the County with adjacent land uses including a mixture
of commercial and residential activities. The subject
property is currently developed with a single family
residence. The applicants operate a plumbing contracting
business from their home. The property is moderately
sloped with trees and shrubs on the lower portion. The
rear portion of the property is steeper sloped with
numerous rock outcrops.
B. Project Description: The applicant proposes to divide
the 1.81 acre tract of land into 2 tracts of
approximately 1.35 and .46 acres each. The proposed
parcel will be used as a home building site for the
applicant's son.
C. History: The subject parcel is one of five adjacent
parcels created in 1968, prior to the advent of
Subdivision Regulations. By virtue of the creation date,
the parcel qualifies for an exemption.
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. The C/G, Commercial General Zoning District allows the
development of single family residences as a permitted
use.
•
2. Soils and geologic information indicated that the
proposed building site may be subject to moderate
subsidence and soil creep action. An engineering study
for the foundation would be warranted.
3. Fire protection will be provided by the Glenwood Springs
Rural Fire District.
4. The applicants have a verbal commitment from the City
that water and sewer connections can be provided.
5. Staff received a complaint from an adjacent property
owner regarding storage of discarded water heaters. An
on-site inspection revealed approximately 25 water
heaters scattered on the property. Section 3.08.03 of
the Garfield County Zoning Resolution requires a Special
Use Permit for a salvage yard. Due to the proximity of
residences, staff would encourage the applicants to
remove the material to an appropriate disposal site and
cease the activity in the future.
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 all representations of the applicants, either within
the application or stated at the meeting before the Board
of County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions
of approval.
2. That an access easement to the new tract be included on
the exemption plat.
3. That the applicants submit $200 in School Impact Fees for
the newly created lot.
4. That the applicants submit written documentation from the
City of Glenwood Springs verifying the ability to provide
water and sewer connections.
5. That the applicants remove the water heaters or apply for
a Special Use Permit for a salvage yard within 30 days.
6. That the following plat notes be included on the
Exemption Plat:
A. That an engineered foundation may be required.
B. That no further exemptions from the definition of
subdivision shall be allowed on the site.
7. That the applicants shall satisfy the conditions of
approval and file an Exemption Plat within 120 days of
approval.
