PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
REQUEST: An exemption from the definition of
subdivision.
APPLICANT: James & Ilse Lyons
LOCATION: A tract of land located in a portion of Section
5, T7S, R94W of the 6th P.M.; located
approximately seven (7) miles east of
Parachute on Holms Mesa, north and west of
County Road 301.
SITE DATA: 51 Acres
WATER: Shared well
SEWER: Individual sewage disposal systems (ISDS)
ACCESS: County Road 301 (Morrisania Mesa Road)
EXISTING ZONING: A/R/RD
ADJACENT ZONING: A/R/RD
I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject tract is located within District C - Rural Areas/Minor Environmental Constraints,
as designated by the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan's Management Districts Map
(1981; 1984 Plans).
I1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The subject tract is 51 acres in size and located approximately seven
(7) miles east of Parachute along County Road 301. The tract is on Holms Mesa,
west of Cache Creek and slopes at an average of 11%. The majority of the tract is
utilized as pasture and there is an existing single family dwelling and agricultural
structures located i. the northcentral portion of the tract, near the county road. See
vicinity map, page • ` •

Adjacent Land Uses: Adjacent land uses are largely agricultural and single family
residential, on generally large tracts.
Proposal: The applicants propose to subdivide, by exemption, the 51 acre tract into
three (3) parcels of 15.92, 15.92 and 19.36 acres each. The existing dwelling and
barn would be located on proposed lot #2 and the other lots would be developed as
single family homesites, sometime in the future. See sketch map, page 7— .
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A.
B.
Subdivision Regulations: Section 8:52 (A) of the Garfield County Subdivision
Regulations states that "No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or
dwelling units will he created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the
records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973, and
is not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by
exemption that is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County
road or railroad), preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs
along the public right-ofwcry, .such parcels thereby created may, in the discretion of
the Board, not he considered to have been created by exemption with regard to the
four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation otherwise applicable;"
The applicants obtained the tract in May, 1993, and have submitted a deed fromApril,
1972, both containing the same property description. See deeds, pages II 7
A further search of County records indicates that no subdivision action has been
approved since January I, 1973. Based on this analysis, this request complies with
Section 8:52 (A) of the Subdivision Regulations.
Zoning: The tract is within the A/R/RD zone district and all proposed lots are in
excess of the 2.0 acre minimum lot size requirement. There are no regulated
floodplains on the property and slope would not be a significant impediment to further
development.
Water Supply: The water supply for this exemption would be from an existing,
exempt, domestic well that would be shared among the three proposed lots. This well
is the subject of a four (4) hour pump test, conducted November 11, 1996, at a rate
of four (4) gallons per minute (gpm). Drawdown during the test was calculated to be
approximately four (4) feet, which recovered to within 0.38 feet (4.56 inches), of the
pre -pumped level, within one hour. See pump test information, pages /9 //.
Based on this information, it appears there would be an adequate, physical water
supply for the proposed lots. It appears the well was once permitted as a household -
use and livestock irrigation well only, which has been amended to an exempt,
domestic well, a legal water su ply for up to three (3) single family dwellings. See
well permit, pages 4.1 V %
• •
Staff recommends that, prior to final approval, the water supply be tested for
nitrate/nitrite content and fecal coliform bacteria. Additionally, the exemption plat
must show a minimum 20 foot water line and wellhead easement and a well -sharing
declaration must be submitted.
D. Soils/Sewer: The method of wastewater disposal is proposed to be the use of
individual sewage disposal systems. According to the Soil Conservation Service,
there are two (2) classifications of soil on-site, the Morval loam and the Vale silt
loam. Both soils are deep and well -drained and, when used for building site
development, constraints range from slight to moderate, generally due to the shrink -
swell potential in the Morval soil and slope in the Vale soil. When used for placement
of ISD systems, both soils are considered to have moderate constraints, generally due
to slow percolation and slope.
E. Access: The existing dwelling is accessed from the north side of County Road 301,
and the proposed lots would also be accessed from CR 301. Although it is not stated
in the application, staff presumes that the proposed lots would be developed with
individual driveways. As long as new driveway intersections with CR 301 are not
placed on or near the existing curves in the county road, there should be adequate
sight distances. Staff recommends that, prior to final approval, the applicant consult
with the County Road and Bridge Department and receive advice on driveway
intersections and any additional driveway permits, if required by the Department.
Fire Protection: The application contains a letter from the Grand Valley Fire
Protection District, stating its consent to the exemption application. The District
requests that it be contacted prior to any further construction on the property, in order
to review plans for fire protection, road design and water resources. See letter, page
/V • Staff also suggests the inclusion of the standard plat note addressing
wildfire mitigation.
G. Easements: All required easements for access, utilities, water supply, etc.,will be
required to be shown on an exemption plat.
H. School Impact Fees: The applicant would be required to pay the $200 school impact
fee, per lot ($400.00 total) for the creation of the exemption parcels.
Potential Road Impact Fees: Upon adoption of a road impact fee, the lots created by
this exemption will be subject to paying that fee; paid at time of building permit
application, paid by the building permit applicant. This provision shall be included as
a plat note.
Comments Received: An adjacent landowner has submitted a letter, suggesting that
portions of each lot be conserved for elk and deer migration and not be deer -fenced,
and suggests that there be a production limit of four (4) gpm placed on well. See
letter, page •Ai. +

Re: Lyons Property - Well Pump Test
Dear Mr. Lyons:
(970) 945-5700
(970) 945-1253 Fax
At your request, Zancanella and Associates, Inc. has completed a pump test on the well currently
used at your residence. The purpose of the test was to determine if the well has sufficient yield to
supply an additional two residences for the proposed exempt subdivision of your property. The
well is located in the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 5, Township 7 South, Range 94 West of the
6th P.M. The well can be plotted 2,600 feet from the North section line and 700 feet from the
West section line. The approximate location of the well and property are shown on the attached
site map (Figure 1).
The pump test was conducted on November 11, 1996. The depth of the well is approximately
300 -feet with the existing pump set at 280 -feet. The static water level was measured 151.1' below
the top of the casing. At the current water level there is approximately 129 -feet of available
drawdown (280 - 151).
The well was tested at a pumping rate of approximately 4 gallons per minute (gpm) and was
pumped continuously for a 4 hour period. Drawdown and time data collected during the test is
presented in the attached Table 1.
We have plotted the drawdown vs. time curve for the well which is illustrated on the attached
Figure 2. As can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 2, the well drawdown was approximately 3' feet
in the first hour of testing and then increased to 4 feet by the end of the 4 -hour test. When
pumped, the well showed continuous drawdown with time and did not stabilize (remain at a fixed
level). However, the drawdown only increased by 0.13 feet over the last hour of pumping. The
Office of the State Engineer's Water Well Construction Rules (Rule 14.2) defines "well yield test:
the yield of a well shall be determined as a stabilized production rate where the withdrawal rate
and the drawdown do not change by more than 10% during the last hour of the test". At a
pumping rate of 4 gpm, the change in the drawdown was 3%. The pumping level at a rate of 4
gpm stayed well above the pump intake during the pumping test and only utilized approximately
3% of the available drawdown (4.2 feet /129 feet). By the state's definition, the stabilized well
yield for the pump test was at least 4 gpm.
Recovery data (water levels) were collected for a 1 -hour period after pumping was terminated.
The recovery data is presented in Table 2. The recovery plotted as residual drawdown is shown
in Figure 3. Based on the residual drawdown curve, the well displayed normal recharge -
characteristics. The well was showing a•steady recharge through the end of the recovery
monitoring period. The water level was projected to return to "pre -pumping" conditions based on
the slope of the residual drawdown curve.
• •
Based on the results of the pump test, we believe the current well has sufficient yield to supply the
three proposed lots. Under current Garfield County regulations a minimum supply from a well
must be 350 gallons per day per residence for a exempt subdivision. The results of the pump test
indicate the current yield is greater than the minimum requirements. While the well is capable of
providing the average daily requirements for all three residences, peak demands on the system
will need to be addressed by an on-site storage tank. We recommend a minimum of 1500 gallons
of storage. This will provide a buffer if the well pump was to fail. The pump test yield represents
the short term ability of the aquifer and constructed well to meet the water demands.
The long term yield of the underlying aquifer is dependent on the geologic conditions and the
available recharge from the hydrologic cycle. Periods during drought conditions (low recharge)
might require conservation measures and monitoring of the well to ensure proper management
of this resource.
Additional water supply information will most likely be required by the county prior to subdivision
approval. The additional information which will likely be required includes the development of a
well sharing agreement and water quality testing. The agreement should be prepared by an
attorney and most likely will outline costs to be shared by the lot owners for operation,
maintenance, and replacement of the well and water supply system. Water quality tests should
be conducted to test for bacteria and nitrates. We can could coordinate testing at your request.
Your well is currently permitted as an exempt well registered with the Division of water resources
under Permit No. 110037. A exempt well on a parcel of land greater than 35 acres is limited to
serving up to three single-family residences and the irrigation of one acre. We recommend
comparing the cost of constructing supply lines from the existing well versus constructing new
wells on the two additional lots. By relinquishing the existing exempt well permit, new well permits
could be acquired for three wells, but would most likely limit the wells to in-house uses with no
outside irrigation uses. Serving the exempt subdivision with three in -house -use -only wells would
eliminate the need for on-site storage, assuming the wells are capable of supplying the individual
home peak demands. Outside irrigation needs can be provided from your existing ditch system.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at 945-5700.
Very truly yours,
Zancanella and Associates, Inc.

Dear Commissioners:
The Parachute -Battlement Fire Department has been contacted concerning a
50+/4 parcel split of property owned by Jim and Ilse Lyons in Ru, on on
County Road 301. The County requires fire department approval for this
split, and approval is hereby given.
We request that before any building occurs on the property that the fire
department be contacted to review the plans and to assist in planning for
fire protection, road design, and water resources.
Sincerely,
Ted Anderson
President/GVFPD

Gentlemen:
The request for exemption of James and Ilse Lyons impacts my concerns for Rulison development.
To minimize the impact on the area, we request you consider two conditions for your approval: game
travel slot and well water quantity limit.
GAME TRAV EL,: The Colorado Fish and Game representative testified in the Potter -Odgers
exemption request that Rulison is a prime area for elk and deer. The proposed Lyons tract abuts the
south boundary of my 265 acres. Much of the area south of me will become small lots, each capable of
blocking the north -to -south game trail. I request you impose a condition requiring at least half of each lot
on an east -west line, be designated for game travel and will not be deer- fenced.
WATE R: The hearing on the Potter -Odgers exemption request , which is west of my property, clearly
demonstrates well water deficiencies in the Rulison Fan Aquifer. Many wells are short of water. The Lyons
well has been in use for one house for some time and the permit covers three houses plus a small irrigated
area. I request the commissioners impose a choke limit on the well of 4 GPM, the tested rate stated on the
permit, for service to all three lots to protect the area water drawdown.
With the continued subdivision of agricultural properties, it is for the community good that more
control is exercised by the County Planning Department.
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Wayne E. Wells
