I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The site is located mainly in Districts C and D, Rural Areas with
Minor and Moderate Environmental Constraints, with a small portion of
the tract in District F, River Floodplain with Severe Environmental
Constraints, all as designated on the Garfield County Comprehensive
Plan Management Districts Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site lies between the 1-70 frontage road
and the Colorado River. The majority of the site is fairly level
agricultural fields, with improvements including a mobile home
and stable on Parcel A, and a small stick built dwelling on
Parcel B.
B. Project Description: The applicant proposes to divide the 81.3
acre tract into 4 parcels of 29 acres, 21.5 acres, 23 acres and
7.8 acres.
C. History: The Meyers property is the only parcel created out of
the original 120 acre property since 1973. Mrs. Meyers obtained
conditional approval for an exemption on the site in April, 1986,
but has reapplied due to modification to the request including
the addition of 23 acres and a 4th lot.

III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Soils information on the site indicate slight to moderate
constraints to development. Comments by the Garfield County
Environmental Health office on a 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. Proof of an adequate and legal source of domestic water for each
lot shall be required. Well permits have been submitted for
Parcels C and D, and an existing well is located on Parcel A.
4. The creation of Parcel D is based on separation from the
remainder of the site by a large drainage swale. This qualifies
as an exception to the 4 lot limit on lots created by exemption.
As a result of this additional lot, a total of 5 lots will have
been created out of the original parcel since 1973.
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:
A. No further divisions by exemption from the definition of
subdivision will be allowed.
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.

V. RECOMMENDATION (Cont.)
2. The applicant shall submit an additional well permit or evidence
of another approved legal and adequate source of domestic water
for Parcel B.
3. The applicant shall submit $200 per lot School Impact fees for
two new lots not having existing dwelling units.
4. All representations of the applicant, either within the
application or stated at the hearing before the Board of County
Commissioners, shall be considered conditions of approval.
