RE: Gilead Gardens Preliminary Plan Time Extension Request
Dear Board of Commissioners:
I hereby formally request a time extension of the Gilead Gardens Preliminary Plan
resolution No. 2003-89. I was at fault and inadvertently recognized the Recording Date
of the Resolution November 3,2004 as the one year deadline date for filing Final Plat or
a time extension, instead of the actual September 15,2003 Commission hearing date.
However, I believe it would be a great waste of County and other review agencies time
and resources to go through the Sketch and Preliminary Plan review process again since
the Project's proposed density and design plans will remain unchanged.
Please feel free to contact me at 379-8362 with any questions or concems you may have.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bruce D. Lewis,
Project Manager

PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
REQUEST:1-year Extension for the Preliminary Plan for the Gilead
Gardens Subdivision
APPLICANT:BBD, a Trust, David and Renee Miller, Trustees
REPRESENTATIVE(S):Bruce Lewis, Boundaries Unlimited, Inc
LOCATION:The property is located between County Road 335 (Colorado
River Road) and the Colorado River, approximately 3 miles

ACCESS:County Road 335
I. BACKGROUND
As you will recall, on September 15, 2003,the Board approved the Preliminary Plan for the Gilead Gardens
Subdivision which entailed subdividing approximately 35 acres of land into 9 residential lots. This approval
was memonalized in Resolution 2003 - 89. This approval provided the Applicant I year from the date of
Board approval to file a Final Plat application with Garfield County. This deadline was Septernber 15,2004
and no such application was filed with the County. As a result, the Preliminary Plan approval has expired.
II. REQUEST
The Applicant missed the deadline to file the Final Plat and requests the Board approve al-year extension
to file. (See the letter attached to this memo from the Applicant's representative explaining the reasoning
for the request.)
III. STAFF COMMENT
Section 4:34 of the Subdivision Regulations states that "Preliminary Plan approval shall be valid for a
period not to exceed one (1) year from the date of Board approval, or conditional approval, unless an
extension of not more than one (1) year is granted by the Board prior to the expiration of the period of
approval. The Applicant made no such request within the time frame contemplated in the Subdivision
Regulations. Section 4:34 does not provide the Board with regulatory direction in the event an extension has
not been granted. The Applicant is now in a position where they must resubmit a Preliminary Plan.
