Concerns: 1. The city of Rifle has expressed a number of concerns. A copy of their letter is enclosed. The issue of annexation is not appropriate at this ti-me because the Conestoga property is not proceeding with annexation at this time. The project;ith 7,50O square foot lots does represent urban densi-ty and should be developed to urban standards. Z. presently, the streets within the subdivision are platted with 40 foot R.O.W. It would be appropriate to bring them up to an urban standard of 50 feet. County regrlatitns only require a chip and seal surface. Asphalt mat streets would be more appropriate for this density. County regulations do require sid.ewalks curb and gutter on streets which serve lots of this size. . There are 11 lots within this subdivision Ehat have no, or at least uestionable, building sites. There are also no block designations on the lan. These problems must be rectified at preliminary plat. 4. There is a continuing concern over the availability of water and sewer in the Rifle vitlage south subdivision. The county must have proof of ability to serve bY PreliminarY Plat. 5. Country side subdivision had a requirement that they chip and seal Viilage Drive back to the portion that is presently paved' The Coloroso Subdivision should be required to share in Ehose costs on a per-lot basis ' 6. The existing county road (320) that provides access from the I-70 interchange to the subdivision must be addressed for inprovements. Specifically, there are trvo 90o corners that need to be realigned. With the increased development activity in the south Rifle area, this road should be improved by the developers creating the increased inPact. 7. The addiLional development proposed in Rifle village south should be accompanied wiLh some provision for parkland which includes recreation areas ' This needs to be addressed in this ProPosal.

RE: Holmes and Coloroso resubdivision of Block B, Rifle Village South l The property cumently under review by the County'is contiguous to the Conestogaproperties which were under review for annexation to the Ctty of Rifle, However,at the November 18 City Council meeting a letter was recefved by the City thatindicated that the owner was not proceeding with annexation at this time. tfre Conestoga request was tabled by the City's Planning Commission until a resolutionfor continuing Taughenbaugh Boulevard through to County Road 320 and 332 could be provi ded . ., _.o Ihe request could continue through the City's process at any time and should thisoccur, the City would again request that the property be processed for annexation,but until the Conestoga property r',s clearly back in the pr"ocess, the City recognizesthat the County cannoi honor this request. The current access to Rifle Vi'l1age South relies on the undeveloped portion ofCounty.road 320 for access. Further development of Rifle Villagb Soirtn should alsoparticipate in the access solutjon required by the City for the extension of Conestoga. There should also be an access provided from this request east to the vacant lands(Conestoga). Both developments would benefit from a secondary means of access toor through their properties. The fol'lowing comments have previously been made and are still considered to be app'licab'le to this property. The proposed subdivision is inconsistent with City standards and densities forRifle. The maximum gross density of a project within the Rifle Comprehensive Planarea should be five units per acre. This request is for 5.25 units per gross acre.An increased density has only been approved when the project 'is providin! for add-itional C'ity needs such as more parkland than required. (fitty-three units wouldrequire .l.3 acres of parkland or fees-in-lieu-of parkland by City codes.) The streets are shown to be 40 foot rights-of-way. City standards requ'ire 50 foot 'rights-of-way with 32 foot paved curb and gutter streets. Lots 7,8, 9, and l0 of the northeast block are too narrow to be buildable, unlessmobile homes are permitted uses of this development. In addition, Lot 20 of this same block is too small when a front yard setback is applied to Village Drive. ,;01 I 337 East Avenue P.O.

Davis reviewed the request for a special use permit to construct a 230/345 KV utility transmission line from existing structures approximatel-y I mile southeast of Parachute up parachute Creek to Union and Colony sites. He also briefly went over the request for temporary staging areas during construction. A site review was done since the last P & Z meetinl Dave Howard ana Larry Keith, of Public Service Company \,rent ov€rr a visual presentation of the location of the line and types of structures that,will be used. Larry Keith told the Planning Comnr-ission that since the last P & Z meeting on January 11, there have been 3 changes to the application which are as follows: 1) Instead of two single circuit 230/345 volt lines as is proPosed, the line will be one double circuit 2301345 volt line that would be constructed now, and an additional double circuit 230/345 volt line rhat would be constructed as the loads develop.' 2) Instead of the double circui t 230 volt line from the Davis Switching Station to the colony Bench substation, it w111 consist of a single circuit 230 vol-t line' 3) Instead of three staging areas that were proposed in Section 5.03.08, page 37 of the application, public Service uri1l limit this to one staging area and have completed " rupl.rte Special Use Perrnit application, as the Planning Staff has requested' Davis read the staff recommendation for approva!.c.onlingent upon Colorado Uters withdrawal of the 134 KV transmission line and theipotased-haring of facilities with Public Service Co. This recommendation would be viewed differentLy if Colorado Ute were to reapply to the county for the 138 KV tpaLqmisqipn"line that they have withdrawn' Davis then read a letter H"wPrtnldnt,',uho owns the property where Public Service is proposing to cross the river with the transmission line' I"1r' Knight is opposing this mOVe. , * Dave Howard said that public Service is in the process of trying to negotiate with Mr. Knight. Dale Albertson syorpa{ired wirh Mr. Knight and felt that maybe PSC should try to relocate the line crossing the river. It was decided that pSC should keep trying to negotiate with I'k. Knight and if this failed, the County Comnrlssioners would make the clecision for Public Service and Mr' KnigJrt' Barb asked how Public Service intended to build the lines. Larry Keith said that anything they couldn't get to by road, then helicopter construction would be used. Dale Albertson moved to recommend approval of the 23o1345 Kv ut-irlity transrnission line Special Use permit by public Service Company and also'the Special Use Permit for the temporary stagi.rg area for construction with the condltion that the Public Service company negotiate *itt tt" landowner, l"tr. Grant Knight and with the contingency upon Colorado Uters withdrawal for the 138 KV utility transruission line' Barbara Lorah seconded the motion. A poll was taken of the voting members with the follor+ing results: John Tripp: yesl Barbara Lorah: yesl Arnold }fackley: yes'' Dale McPherson: yes - and Dale Albertson: yes. I'!crion carried unanimously. SECOND ITEII ON TTIE AGENDA: Coloroso Subdivision, Sketch Plan Davis briefly reviewed the Coloroso Subdivj,sion request fot 49 single family lots on approximately I0 acres, located within Rifle Village South Subdivision approxinately 1 uLile southwest of Rifle on County Road 320. He introduced Sherry Schuman, representing Bob Coloroso, who is in the hospital. Davis then read the recommendations of approval with conditions listed in the minutes from January 11, tg8z. He mentioned that the road iuprovements' to 1-4'1r1r{r'1 Village Drive should not be on a tost-per-lot basis but on the 'oasis of how ,r.h to.dfti*f*ffi- actuallY imPacted. county Road 320 was mentioned by Dav-is, who said that Leonard Bowlby, from the County Road and Bridge Department, will go out to the road and pin point spots on the road that need improvement. Dawis said that road irnprovements would be asked of Countryside, as well as Co loroso . Sherry Schuman said that the burden of finance on improving County Road 320 should fall on everyone who lmpacts it, not just these two smal1 subdivisions' COUNTY O}-FICIALS PRISENT : Lee Merkel, Impact Co.
