R89W; more practically described as a Parcel located just west of the HighwaY 82 and C.R. 154/C.R. I 14 intersection (CMC turnoff) 5.02 acres. Central Well I.S.D.S. Private road off of C.R. 154 CIL North - CIL South - CIL East - C/G West - CIL A. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPRFHENSTVE PLAN The tract of land is located in District C - Rural Areas, Minor Environmental Constraints and District D - Rural Areas, Moderate Environmental Constraints. I-IFSCRIPTTON OF THF PROPOSAL Site l-tescription: The subject property is a relatively flat parcel with natural grasses n it presently. The proposed double-wide modular is on the site. The H- Lazy-F Mobile home park is adjacent to the project on the northwest and west sides, and the D&RG railroad is on the east side. Trescrif'tion of the Profrosal: It is proposed to split the 5.02 acre tract into four parcels, l.04,l.24,1.34and1.40acresinsize(seeSketchPlanmap). Eachparcel o t(, B. ;.iL;*a."**-irl*"-.iJi*u";r**k#-L-'. "- -'-'i--*'- would have a single building for commercial uses, and phase 3 would also have a double wide modular unit to be used for an office and four (4) effrciency dwelling units. Each lot would have an ISD system and be served by a single well. Access to the commercial center is off of a private road coming off of County Road 154. III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. Water: The applicant has stated that there is adequate quantity and quality of water available based on an existing well and the pump test is included in the application. The well is adequate for domestic purposes, but there is no proof the well can be used for commercial purposes. A preliminary plan will need proof of a legal adequate source of water for both commercial and domestic purposes. B. Individual Sewage l-risfrosal Systems: It is proposed to utilize ISDS for each lot. This puts a limit of 2,000 gpd design capacity for each lot. With the exception of phase 3, which has the modular four-plex, it is diffrcult to determine if there are any problems due to a lack of definition of the number and types of uses proposed. The H-Lazy-F Mobile Home park has a central sewage disposal system that may be able to provide service. This should be explored at Preliminary Plan, since the Colorado Department of Health will encourage this type of connection. C. Access: It is proposed to access the property offof a private road that has a sign stating that only certain lots can legally use the road and all others will be prosecuted. Proof of legal access will have to be provided at Preliminary Plan. D. Roads: The application states that the internal access will be private access easements and not subject to County Subdivision Road Standards. This is an incorrect statement, Section 9.35 states: All streets are dedicated to the public, but all streets will be constructed to standards consistent with these regulations and repair and maintenance shall be the responsibility of the incorporated Homeowners Association of the subdivision. There are no provisions for "private access easements" in the subdivision regulations, since the County does not allow anything but privately maintained roads meeting the subdivision standards. Consideration might be given to a single roadway in the middle, and driveways off of it to each lot. E. Commercial llses: As noted previously, the sketch plan only denotes proposed building area in each lot, with no further discussion of uses. It will be required at Preliminary Plan to identify the total non-residential floor spaces and total proposed off-street parking spaces. To do this, it will be necessary to better define the type of uses, since parking is tied to use. The Sketch Plan process is purely infonnational and completion of the Sketch Plan process does not constitute any kind of approval of the proposed subdivision. o ld'
