B. Staff Comments:
1. Soils information on the site indicate slight to moderate
constraints to development. Comments by the Garfield County
Environmental Health office on the previous application in
this area indicated that professionally engineered
individual sewage disposal systems may be required due to
proximity to the Colorado River.
2. No approved or adopted FEMA flood plain information exists
for the Colorado River on the site. A plat note should be
included stating this fact and indicating the potential for
flooding on the site.
3. An additional well permit or other source of domestic water
for the proposed 30 acre parcel will be necessary. Well
permits have been obtained for the remaining two lots.
4. The proposed lots will be the last allowed to be created by
exemption from the definition of subdivision based on the
Subdivision Regulations. A plat note should be added
stating this fact.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper posting and public notice was provided as required
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 the following plat notes be included on the recorded
exemption plat:
No further divisions by exemption from the definition of
subdivision will be allowed.
Pdt 17
B. Individual Sewage Disposal Systems may be required to be
designed by a registered professional engineer.
C. No FEMA approved or adopted 100 year flood plain information
was available for the site at the time of approval. The
site does have low lying areas that may be subject to
flooding. Any development or building on the site should
take these facts into consideration.
2. The applicant shall establish the existence of access points for
each lot or obtain the necessary access permits from the Colorado
State Highway Department.
3. The applicant shall submit an additional well permit or evidence
of another approved legal and adequate source of domestic water
for the 30 acre parcel.
4. The applicant shall submit $200 per lot School Impact fees for
all lots not having an existing dwelling unit.
