The site consists of 89 acres. WATER: Approximately wells. SEWER: ACCESS: EXISTING ZONING: 6 individual Individual sewage systems (I.S.D.S.) disposal Access from C.R. 119 to lots via existing private driveway. A/R/RD ADJACENT ZONING: A/R/RD I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The subject property is located in District D, Rural Areas with Moderate Environmental Constraints on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan Management Districts Map. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL A. Site Description: The subject property is located at the northwest end of Spring Valley in an area of single family residences and ranches. The subject property consists primarily of hill slopes, a portion of a basaltic ridge which forms the west side of the valley. Slopes vary 0 to 50%. A portion of the property is currently being cultivated in wheat. Vegetation consists of oak, sagebrush and grasses. B. Project Description: The applicants are proposing to subdivide the 89 acre parcel into six parcels. Five of the parcels will be 10 acres in size with the sixth parcel being 39 acres in size. Average lot size is 15 acres. III. REVIEW AGENCY COMMENTS A. Mount Sopris Soil Conservation District: Identified soils limitations, including slope, shrink -swell and erosion, as potential problems. Mentioned need for animal control to protect livestock and wildlife. B. Colorado Geological Survey: Shrinks well potential of soils necessitate site specific engineering. Building locations should avoid drainage courses. Steep slopes should be avoided as building sites. • • C. RE -1 School District: Buses will only travel County roads. Adequate turnarounds are required. D. Planning Commmission: Draft minutes from their May 8, 1991 meeting. IV. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS 1. Red Canyon Road: During previous discussions of the Christeleit Subdivision with both the Planning Commission and the Board, the issue of Resolution 81-175 and Red Canyon Road surfaced. This Resolution, approved in 1981, stated that further subdivision activity in the Spring Valley area, which impacts Red Canyon Road, is premature unless it could be demonstrated that the proposed subdivision would not add traffic to the roadway. The Board noted that additional development would place burdens on services and facilities beyond the County's scope of maintenance and financial ability. The Board cited Section 5.01 of the 1972 Subdivision Regulations as their authority to approve the Resolution (see pageS9 ). The County Attorney has stated that it is necessary for the current board to rescind the Resolution as a prerequisite of preliminary plan approval. In addition, the County Attorney has gone on record stating the road is a public safety threat and the placement of additional traffic on the roadway is unwise. If the Commission is inclined to recommend approval of the preliminary plan, then the recision of Resolution 81- 175 should also be recommended. 2. Roadways: Access to the proposed subdivision will be provided over an access easement/private road which straddles the western property boundary. Thirty feet of the 60 foot wide easement is on the applicant's property. The remaining 30 feet is on the adjacent parcels. Since the easement is not entirely within the applicant's property, the applicant must demonstrate that the easement is suitably dedicated for the expanded use and that the roadway may be physically expanded. The applicant has provided staff with an attorney's opinion to support the proposed expansion (see page IpO ). If the easement is not expandable, then the roadway would need to be relocated entirely within the subject property. The existing roadway does not currently meet Minimum County Standards in terms of road surface, horizontal geometry and slopes. The current standard requires a 28 foot road surface within a 50 foot roadway. The applicants have stated in their application the final design will conform to the County road standards in force at the time of the final plat. 3. Water: The applicants are proposing to serve the subdivision with individual wells. The applicants have a contract in place with the Basalt Water Conservancy District to provide water for each lot (see page &Co ). Wells will need to be drilled to a projected depth of 180 to 300 feet depending on surface elevation (see map and chart on page (y 7 ). No community water facilities are being proposed. There is no irrigation water on the property. Irrigation with well water will be limited by the Basalt Water Conservancy District contract and the well permits. 4. Sewer: The applicants are proposing the use of individual sewage disposal systems for each residence. Percolation tests conducted on the property indicated � g • • • rates in accordance with County standards. Certain portions of the property may have limitations due to the location of bedrock and/or slope. 5. Utilities: Electric and telephone service will be provided to each lot. All lines should be placed underground. 6. Fire Protection: The subject property is not located within the boundaries of a fire protection district. Therefore, no response is guaranteed in event of an emergency by either Carbondale or Glenwood Springs rural districts. Subdivision regulations do not specifically mandate inclusion into a fire district. Section 9:73 states that "where there is no central water system, a centrally located fire protection tank shall be designed to meet the fire protection needs of the subdivision..." No such facilities have been proposed. 7. Homeowner's Association: No Homeowner's Association has been proposed. A Homeowner's Association is required by the water district as a legal entity to oversee the proposed water contract. In addition, an entity is necessary to oversee the road, maintenance and other community owned facilities. Without a Homeowner's Association, no legal entity is responsible for overseeing these functions. V. SUGGESTED FINDINGS A. The proper publication, public notice and posting were provided as required by law for the hearing before the Planning Commission; and B. That the hearing before the Planning Commission was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties were heard at that hearing; and C. That the proposed subdivision of land is in general compliance with the recommendations set forth in the Comprehensive Plan for the unincorporated area of the County; and D. That the proposed subdivision of land conforms to the Garfield County Zoning Resolution; and E. That all data, surveys, analyses, studies, plans and designs as are required by the State of Colorado and Garfield County have been submitted and, in addition, have been found to meet all requirements of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations. VI RECOMMENDATION At their meeting on May 8, 1991, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL to the Commissioners of the application, subject to the following conditions: 1. All representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated at the Public Hearing before the Planning Commission shall be considered conditions of approval unless otherwise stated by the Planning Commission. 2. The applicants shall establish a Homeowner's Association and shall be incorporated in accordance with the requirements of Colorado Revised Statutes. The Homeowner's Association shall be responsible for the Basalt Water Conservancy District water contract and for road maintenance. The articles of incorporation and restrictive covenants shall be reviewed by County Staff prior to the approval of the Final Plat. 1 • 3. The applicants shall prepare and submit a subdivision improvements agreement, addressing all on and off-site improvements, prior to the approval of a Final Plat. 4. The applicants shall submit improvement plans for all road, drainage and utility improvements prior tot he approval of a Final Plat. 5. All utilities shall be placed underground. 6. All cut slopes created during construction shall be revegetated with native grasses using certified weed -free seed. 7. The applicant shall demonstrate that procedures are established for the maintenance of all roadways, including snow removal, through the Homeowner's Association, prior to the approval of the Final Plat. 8. The applicants shall pay $200 per lot in School Impact Fees prior to the approval of the Final Plat. 9. All required permits from the Road and Bridge Department shall be obtained prior to the approval of the Final Plat. 10. All roadways shall be designed and constructed in conformance with design standards set forth in the County Subdivision Regulations and in place at the time of submittal of the Final Plat. 11. The following plat notes shall be included on the Final Plat: A) U.S.F.S. and State Forestry wildfire prevention guidelines should be incorporated into residential site planning and design. B) A site specific soils report shall be conducted for each residence prepared by a registered professional engineer.

Prior to the approval of the Final Plat, the applicants shall seed the property in permanent grasses or the property shall remain in cultivation until all lots are sold. .' O • • PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES May 8, 1991 ELIM1NAUY DRAFT MEMBERS PRESENT COUNTY STAFF PRESENT Stephanie Beerman Don DeFord, County Pat Fitzgerald Attorney Peter Nichols Mark Bean, Director Harold Shaeffer Regulatory Offices & Dick Stephenson Personnel Philip Vaughan Andrew McGregor, Gregg Velasquez Planner The meeting was called to order. Roll Call was taken with all members present. The minutes of April 10, 1991, were approved with a unanimous vote. Continued Public Hearing for Goose Creek Subdivision Preliminary Plan - Kent Jones, Priscilla Prohl and Vince Gulino. Don DeFord determined proper noticing. Andrew McGregor summarized the discussions between staff, Mr. Hartert and Mr. Kerst regarding the access issue since the last meeting. Also discussed was the memo from Don DeFord. Gerry Hartert, representative for the applicants, asked that the Planning Commission approve the application subject to the conditions of approval set forth in the staff report including those having to do with the road access. Stephanie Beerman questioned that there was no problem with any of the conditions. Mr. Hartert answered that they would deal with them, because they would have to deal with them anyway. Dan Kerst, representative of the neighbors, asked if the only change since the last meeting was the one additional condition of approval. Mr. McGregor answered yes. Mr. Kerst feels that the Planning Commission should deny the request based on the lack of showing of access. He believes that a court resolution is probably the only way to come to a final answer on the access issue. CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING Harold Shaeffer feels that the word internal should be included in condition #15. Mr. DeFord suggested language "for the benefit of owners in the subdivision". Mr. Shaeffer questioned if the underground utilities were a problem with the high water table. One of the neighbors replied that it did not bother her utilities. Peter Nichols what the current use of the land is. Mr. McGregor responded with one single family residence. Mr. Nichols asked how close is the residence to the nearest publically operated sewage treatment system. Andrew answered that it is 3/4 of a mile away. Mr. Hartert said that the standards for an exemption from subdivision included a requirement that there be adequate access to public roads. On several occasions this issue has come before the Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners and in each case that road was found to be adequate access. Mr. Hartert asked, for the benefit of the doubt, that the road be found as adequate access again. .6II� 1r i�Yo�����iBidr'�► ., • 'DRAFT' Mr. Nichols asked if the subdivision is within the Carbondale Urban Area of Influence. Mr. McGregor responded "yes". Mr. Nichols asked if Carbondale took any other position or just the concern about the sewage disposal system and their well field. Mr. McGregor answered that the sewage disposal system and their well field are their exclusive areas of concern. Mr. Nichols asked how close the subdivision is to the Carbondale Town Limits. Mr. Jones answered that it is about 3/4 mile away from the town limits. MOTION Dick Stephenson moved to recommend Approval of the Goose Creek Subdivision Preliminary Plan including all of the Staff Comments and Suggested Findings and include in #15 the addition for the owners in the subdivision. Mr. Stephenson feels that #17 should be struck entirely. Harold Shaeffer seconded the motion. Mr. Nichols feels that it is unfair to shift the burden onto the surrounding property owners, it should be the applicants responsibility because he is proposing to make the change. Mr. Velasquez asked who should bear the burden. Mr. DeFord answered that the applicant bears the burden of meeting the subdivision regulations. The regulations say that the applicant has to produce evidence. Stephanie Beerman Yes Pat Fitzgerald Yes Peter Nichols No Harold Shaeffer Yes Dick Stephenson Yes Philip Vaughan Yes Gregg Velasquez Yes Motion carries. Christeleit Subdivision Preliminary Plan - Peter and Linda Christeleit. Andrew McGregor summarized the project, which was to subdivide an 89 acre parcel into six parcels. Five of the parcels will be 10 acres in size with the sixth parcel being 39 acres in size. Average lot size is 15 acres. Pat Fitzgerald, Gregg Velasquez, Dick Stephenson, Harold Shaeffer and Andrew McGregor went on a site visit prior to the hearing, on Wednesday, May 8,. 1991. Don DeFord determined proper noticing. Peter Christeleit talked to the Fire Chief and he said that it was up to the Sheriff to decide whether to call the Carbondale Fire District or the Glenwood Springs Fire District. Linda Christeleit talked with Jack at the Glenwood Fire Department and he said that if they installed a sprinkler system in a house it would be less likely that it will burn down. Mrs. Christeleit passed around a map concerned with the water depths and availability on surrounding wells. The surrounding well depths range from 15 feet to 420 feet. Mr. Christeleit asked if they can phase the utilities in as the lots are sold. Mr. McGregor answered that it can be arranged with a bond, but a bond may only be used for the whole project not just a portion of the project. Mr. Stephenson asked Mr. DeFord what the County's liability is on the Red Canyon Road, is it a safety problem. Mr. DeFord responded that there really isn't any liability when dealing with the subdivision process. Mr. Shaeffer asked how much acreage is presently being farmed. Mrs. Christeleit responded that 49 acres are presently being farmed. Mr. Shaeffer said that farming will become harder once they start selling the lots, and asked what they intended to do with the weed control and maintenance of the property until someone buys the land and takes over. Mr. Christeleit said that they will continue to take care of the land and plant some type of a grass or a dry land combination. Mr. Shaeffer asked if condition #10 meant that all roadways will have to be built before any lots are sold. Mr. McGregor answered that it will be part of the Subdivision Improvements Agreement if it is not completed. 1 1 rncLuivi �I1fn1 • 1 DRAFT' Mr. Velasquez asked Mr. DeFord if Resolution 81-175 have to be rescinded by the Board of County Commissioners before the approval of Final Plat. Mr. DeFord said it is a statement of policy. Ms. Beerman asked if they plan to strongly suggest to the homeowners that they put a sprinkler system in their homes. Mr. Christeleit said that they haven't made any definite plans for that yet. Carbondale hopes to include Spring Valley in about 1 - 2 years in the fire district. Sandra Anderson, resident on C.R. 119, asked if the County will maintain the road up to the CMC road. Mr. Stephenson said that it is County policy to plow to year round residents, if they are on a County Road. One of the public asked who is responsible for the upgrading of C.R. 119. Mr. DeFord said that he doesn't think there is any set method by which the Commissioners determine when to upgrade roads. Calvin Cox is concerned that if a road is maintained it will be easier to approve a subdivision. CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING Mr. Nichols noted that Resolution 81-175 clearly states that County policy says not to approve subdivisions in Spring Valley. MOTION Mr. Velasquez moved for Approval of the Christeleit Subdivision Preliminary Plan and include #11E Buyer must join the fire district when available. Add #13 The Commissioners shall address the issue of Red Canyon Road and either rescind the resolution or reiterate the resolution. Mr. Shaeffer would like to add to the motion #14 That all cultivated land shall be placed in permanent cover or continue in cultivation. Ms. Beerman suggested to strike #12. Mr. Nichols seconded the motion. Motion carried with a unanimous vote. Other Business The Joint Planning Commission Meetings' Summary Notes were distributed and there was a brief discussion on the passed meetings. There was a brief discussion about the future Comprehensive Plan Meetings. The Planning Commission decided to meet Tuesday, May 14, 1991, at the Glenwood International Airport at 6:00 a.m. to view the County from above. They also planned a Work Session on May 22, 1991, from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Mark Bean discussed briefly with the Planning Commission about obsolete subdivisions and PUD's.

In viewing the maps and soils information presented, it should be noted that several of the soils types are unsuited for homesite development. However, with the large tracts of land proposed for each lot, by careful selection of the location for the homesite, this concern should be able to be overcome. Some of the land in the site which is presently leased for agricultural use, falls within the definition of Highly Erodible Land (HEL) and as such has been reseeded to grass. The Board feels it is important to note the erosion problems that can arise on parts of this subdivision, and would encourage the retention of as much grass and vegetation as possible, to prevent further erosion. Drainage will also be very important to control erosion. Disturbed areas for roads and homesites should be properly reseeded and monitored for weeds. The District is always concerned about animal control in areas where there is the potential for wildlife or domestic livestock and recommends animal control within the subdivision. Slope steepness and shrink -swell soils should be acknowledged and dealt with with according to engineering recommendations, with access roads designed to provide adequate cut -slope grades and drainage. The soils information provided by the Soil Conservation Service addresses these concerns, which need to be dealt with.

BOLD DIf1ECTOR GA -91-0008 Dear Sir: 'We have reviewed the preliminary plan, geologic report and drainage plan for this proposal. Geologic conditions affecting the site include: swelling soils, low runoff drainage areas, steep slopes, and the potential for radon gas hazards. Site geology consists of clayey -silty soils of a relatively shallow depth overlying Tertiary basaltic lava flows. This formation outcrops in Ole northern portion of the properly. The red Maroon Formation underlies the basalt at an undetermined depth. The surficial soils of Morval loans located on the property have a moderately high swelling soil potential. As outlined by the consultant geologist Nicholas Lanpiris, we recommend site-specific soils investigations for each building excavation to determine the slit ink -swell potential. Building locations should also avoid the low-lying drainage areas. These drainage areas do not pose a flood hazard in terms of water volume. The permeability of the surface soils is very slow and ponding of water in these areas is possible. A sight reconnaissance in April 1991 established water in these low spots. The geologic report also outlines critical areas of steep slope. Due to the nature of the basaltic soils these locations nay be very hazardous to building instability. Slope stability problems for minor subdivisions are usually mitigated by avoidance. GEOLOGY STORY OF THE PAST...

Court House Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 RE: CHRISTELEIT SUBDIVISION Gentlemen: I have reviewed the history of the 60 foot road access and utility easement for the property owned by Peter J. Christeleit and Linda L. Christeleit which property is described in the Warranty Deed recorded in Book 555 at Page 67 a copy of which is attached hereto and marked Exhibit A. The easement was established at the time of the transfer in the above described Deed being 30 feet off of the adjoining property to the west owned by William George Ould and 30 feet off of the property transferred to the Christeleits. An agreement was entered into by the Christeleits and Mr. Ould, a copy of which is attached hereto marked Exhibit B for the construction, maintenance and upkeep of said easement. Paragraph 2 of the agreement states that the easement is for road access and utility purposes in connection with properties owned by them and served by said easement. The property to the west that was then owned by Mr. Ould and served by the easement was thereafter split into additional separate parcels of land with said parcels using the easement road. Mr. Ould also granted in Book 595 at Page 25 a right to use said easement for the Kindall property. It therefore seems clear to me that when one reviews how the easement was established jointly out of the Christeleit property and the Ould property and the language of the easement agreement indicating it was for the benefit of their properties and that the use has already been expanded to additional parcels on the Ould and Kindall property that the proposed subdivision of the Christeleit property and use by those parcels is a permitted expansion of the use of the easement.

May 7, 1991 Mr. Mark Bean Garfield County Planning Director 109 Eighth Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 RE: Christeleit Subdivision Water Supply Dear Mark: Resource Engineering, Inc. provides engineering services to the Basalt Water Conservancy District and administers their Ruedi Reservoir water allotment program. In this capacity we are familiar with the Christeleit Subdivision. The Christeleit Subdivision Homeowner's Association has obtained a water allotment contract for 3.7 acre feet of water from Ruedi Reservoir from the District. This amount of water is adequate to meet the needs of six residences, each with 6,000 square feet of lawns and gardens and up to five horses. The Christeleit Subdivision is located in Area "A" of the Basalt Water Conservancy District. Area "A" is defined as that area that can generally be served by replacement water from Ruedi Reservoir without causing injury to vested water rights that lie between the proposed point of use and the Roaring Fork River. On this basis it is highly probable that wells for the individual lots can be obtained. However, ultimate responsibility for issuance of well permits is vested in the Colorado Division of Water Resources and they have the authority to grant, or deny well permits subject to their promulgated rules and regulations. Should you have any questions regarding the Christeleit Subdivision water allotment contract, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, RESOURCE ENGINEERING, INC. _P1 John M. Currier, P.E.
