I. THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS
ln order to subdivide land in Garfield County, an Applicant is required to complete the following land use
processes in the following order: 1) Sketch Plan Review Process, 2) Preliminary Plan Review Process, and
3) Final Plat Review Process. This section will briefly describe the nature of each process and provide
general direction including subdivision regulation citations to a potential applicant requesting subdivision
approval in Garfield County. All of the Garfield County Zoning and Subdivision Regulations are located for
purchase at the Planning Department and can also be found on the World Wide Web at the following
address: http://www.qarfield-countv.com/buildinq and planninq/index.htm
A) The Sketch Plan Review (Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations)
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Sketch Plan process is to allow an individual an opportunity to
propose a subdivision in a "sketch" format to the Planning Department and the Garfield
County Planning Commission in order to obtain a cursory review for compliance with
the County's land use review documents, regulations, and policies to identify any
issues that would need to be addressed if the proposed subdivision were to be pursued.
2. Aoplicabilitv
Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the
Sketch Plan review process as the first step in Garfield County's Subdivision process.
More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision (Section 2:20.48) as the
division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or
separate interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or
other multiple-dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law.
3. Application i Submittal Requirements
ln order to apply for a Sketch Plan Review an Applicant is responsible for reviewing
Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations and providing enough information to the
Planning Department in the application to conduct a thorough review and provide the
resulting comments to the Planning Commission for their review and comments.
Specifically, Section 3:30, 3:32, and 3:40 of the Subdivision Regulations contain the
specific information required to be submitted to the Planning Department in order to
satisfy the application requirements in addition to the information requested on this
application form.
4. Process / Public Meetinq
The Sketch Plan review process is considered a 1-step process because the
application is reviewed only by the Planning Commission at a public meeting. ln order
to appear before the Planning Commission, an applicant will have submitted all
required application submittal requirements mentioned above to the Planning
Department Staff. Once submitted, Staff will have 15 working days to review the
application to determine if all the required submittal information has been submitted as
required.
lf Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be
sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically
complete." lt is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been
J
scheduled to be reviewed before the Planning Commission and will request the
applicant supply additional copies to provide the Commission for their review.
lf Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will
be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal
requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically
incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the
applicant knows what additional information needs to be submitted. At this point, the
applicant has 6 months (180 days) to provide the necessary information to the
Planning Department to remedy the application so that it may be deemed technically
complete. !f the application has not been deemed technically complete within this time,
the application will be terminated.
Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been
established as to when the Planning Commission will review the application, Staff will
conduct a land use review of the application using the County's land use regulatory
documents including the Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and the
Comprehensive Plan of 2000. ln addition, Staff will also consider referra! comments
provided from a variety of state and local agencies who may also review the application.
As a result, Staff will write a Memorandum on the proposed subdivision to the Planning
Commission containing the results on the land use analysis. This Memorandum will
also be furnished in advance to the applicant.
At the date and time set for the public meeting before the Planning Commission, Staff
will present the findings in the Memorandum and the applicant will be required to
present the proposed subdivision and respond to comments and questions provided by
the Planning Commission. The comments provided to the Applicant by the Planning
Department and the Planning Commission as a result of the Sketch Plan Process will
be kept on file in the Planning Department for 1-year from the meeting date before the
Planning Commission. lf an Applicant does not submit a Preliminary Plan application to
the Planning Department within the 1-year timeframe, the Sketch Plan file will be
closed and the Applicant will need to reapply for a Sketch Plan review prior to a
Preliminary Plan review.
B) Preliminarv Plan Review (Section 4:00 of the Subdivision Regulations)'
1. Puroose
The purpose of the Preliminary Plan review process is to conduct a thorough review of
the many aspects that are associated with dividing land in Garfield County for the
purposes of residential, commercial, and industrial development. This is the most
intensive review step where the Building and Planning Staff, the Planning Commission,
and the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will conduct a thorough review of all
the issues associated with the proposed subdivision against the County's regulatory
requirements. Ultimately, the purpose of this process is to identify all the major issues
in the proposed subdivision by using the County's Zoning Resolution, Subdivision
Regulations, Comprehensive Plan of 2000, as well as other state and local referral
agencies that will provide comments on any issues raised in their review. This is the
process that will either approve or deny the application request.
4
2. Applicabilitv
Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the
Preliminary Plan review process as the second and most intensive step in Garfield
County's Subdivision process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision
as the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or
separate interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or
other multiple-dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law.
3. Aoplication / Submittal Requirements
In order to apply for a Preliminary Plan Review, an Applicant must have already
completed the Sketch Plan review process addressed in Section 3:00 of the
Subdivision Regulations.
An applicant requesting Preliminary Plan review will be required to submit this
application form, all the required submittal information contained in Sections 4:40 to
4:94 of the Subdivision Regulations as well as address all of the applicable Desiqn and
lmprovement Standards in section 9:00 of the subdivision Regulations.
ln addition to the substantive submittal information related to the proposed subdivision
project itself, an applicant is required to complete all the public notice requirements so
that legal public hearings can be held before the Planning Commission and the BOCC
which is addressed in Sections 4:20 - 4:31of the Subdivision Regulations.
4. Process / Public Hearinqs
The Preliminary Plan review process is considered a 2-step process because the
application is ultimately reviewed by two County decision-making entities during public
hearings: the Planning Commission who makes a recommendation to the BOCC.
ln order to obtain dates for the public hearings before the Planning Commission and
the BOCC, an applicant will have submitted all required application submittal
requirements mentioned above to the Planning Department Staff. Once submitted,
Staff will have 30 working days to review the application to determine if all the required
submittal information has been submitted as required.
lf Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be
sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically
complete." lt is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been
scheduled to be reviewed before the Planning Commission / BOCC. Additionally, Staff
will provide the applicant with the notice forms to be mailed, published, and posted.
lf Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will
be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal
requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically
incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the
5
applicant knows what additional information needs to be submitted. At this point, the
applicant has 6 months (180 days) to provide the necessary information to the
Planning Department to remedy the application so that it may be deemed technically
complete. lf the application has not been deemed technically complete within this time,
the application will be terminated.
Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been
established as to when the Planning Commission / BOCC will review the application,
Staff will conduct a land use review of the application using the County's land use
regulatory documents including the Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and
the Comprehensive Plan of 2000. In addition, Staff will also consider referral comments
provided from a variety of state and local agencies who may also review the application.
As a result, Staff will write a Memorandum on the proposed subdivision to the Planning
Commission / BOCC containing the results on the land use analysis. This
Memorandum will also be furnished in advance to the applicant prior to the public
hearings.
As mentioned above, Staff makes a recommendation to the Planning Commission and
the BOCC regarding the issues raised in the analysis of the proposed subdivision. The
Applicant will first propose the subdivision to the Planning Commission who is
responsible for making a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or
denial to the BOCC. Next, the application will be reviewed by the BOCC during a
regular public hearing. The BOCC will consider the recommendations from the
Planning Staff and the Planning Commission, the information presented by the
applicant, and the public. As a result, the BOCC is the final decision-making entity
regarding the proposed subdivision and will either approve, approve with conditions, or
deny the application.
lf the BOCC approves the subdivision application at the public hearing, the 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. (See the specific
information provided in Section 4:34 of the Subdivision Regulations.) Following the
hearing, Staff will provide a resolution signed by the BOCC which memorializes the
action taken by the Board with any / all conditions which will be recorded in the Clerk
and Recorder's Office. Once an applicant has Preliminary Plan approval, they are
required to complete the third and final step in the County's Subdivision Process: Final
Plat Review.
C) Final Plat Review (Section 5:00 of the Subdivision Regulations)
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Final Plat review process is to provide the applicant with a
mechanism to prove to the County that all the conditions of approval required during
the Preliminary Plan review process have been met / addressed to the satisfaction of
the Planning Staff and the BOCC. This being the case, the chairman of the BOCC will
sign the Final Plat and have it recorded memorializing the subdivision approval granted
by the BOCC. This is the last step in the County's subdivision process.
2. Applicabilitv
Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the
Final Plat review process as the third and last step in Garfield County's Subdivision
process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision as the division of a lot,
tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or separate interests, or
the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or other multiple-dwelling
units, as further defined by Colorado state law.
3. Application / Submittal Requirements
ln order to apply for a Fina! Plat review, an Applicant must have already completed the
Preliminary Plan review process addressed in Section 4:00 of the Subdivision
Regulations.
An applicant requesting Final Plat review will be required to submit this application form,
all the required submittal information contained in Section 5:00 of the Subdivision
Regulations and responses to all the conditions of approval required as part of the
Preliminary Plan review process.
4. Process
The Final Plat review process is considered a 1-step process because the application
is ultimately reviewed by the Building and Planning Staff and presented to the BOCC
for their signature if the application satisfies all the required submittal information to the
satisfaction of the Building and Planning Department.
lf Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be
sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically
complete." lt is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been
scheduled to be presented to the BOCC for signature. (This is not a public hearing or
meeting and therefore does not require public notice.)
lf Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will
be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal
requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically
incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the
applicant knows what additional information needs to be submitted.
Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been
established as to when the BOCC will review the Final Plat, Staff will review the
application / Final Plat in terms of adequacy to determine if all the submittal information
satisfies the Final plat requirements as well as the responses to the conditions of
approval. During this review, Staff will forward the Final Plat the County Surveyor for
review and a signature. ln the event there are additional questions or clarification
issues to be addressed, the County Surveyor will generally contact the applicant to
have the plat adjusted as necessary. Once, Staff has completed the review and all
required information has been submitted to the satisfaction of the Planning Department
7
and the County Surveyor has signed the Final Plat in Mylar form, it will be scheduled at
the next BOCC meeting to be placed on the consent agenda with a request to
authorize the Chairman of the BOCC to sign the plat.
Once the Final Plat is signed, it is then recorded by the County Clerk in the Clerk and
Recorder's Office for a fee of $11 for the first sheet and $10 for each additional sheet
thereafter. This fee shall be paid by the applicant. This act of recording the signed Final
Plat represents the completion of the Garfield County Subdivision Process.
Please refer to the specific language in the Final Plat portion (Section 5:00) of the
Subdivision Regulations for specific timelines and additional responsibilities required of
the applicant to complete the Final Plat process.
Please Note: This information presented above is to be used as a
general guide for an applicant considering a subdivision in Garfield
Gounty. lt is highly recommended that an applicant either purchase
the Garfield County Zoning Resolution and Subdivision Regulations
or access them on-line at:

Sweetwater Perennials
Garfield County Sketch Plan
Water Resource Plan
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to outline the basic approach to developing a legal and
physical water supply for the proposed Sweetwater Perennials Subdivision. This plan
summarizes the water requirements, identifes the physical water supply and presents a
water rights strategy to meet the ultimate needs of the development. Wright Water
Engineers, lnc. and Balcomb & Green are in the process of preparing the formal
documents to be submitted with the Preliminary Plan and for submittal to the State
Water Court.
BACKGROUND
Sweetwater Perennials consist of three lots totaling approximately 18.2 acres located in
the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 24, Township 3 South, Range 87 West of the 6th
PM, Garfield County, Colorado. See Figure 1 for a vicinity Map of the area-
The water resource plan anticipates maximum build out which includes the following:
Two lots are to be developed as single.family lots with accessory dwelling units. The
third lot will have a single family home, an accessory dwelling unit and a boarding\
rooming house for up to eight people. Additional will
ired for the ing house and is included for ,term water resource
. ln addition, Sweetwater Perennials will include a greenhouse\nursery,
which may be located on any or all of the three lots.
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
Sweetwater Perennials will have two basic water supply systems. Wells will provide
potable water to serve the domestic\in-house needs, plus some limited inigation. Each
of the three lots will have at least one well. The water source for the non-potable water
system will be diversions from Sweetwater Creek via the Gannon Ditch. The Gannon
Ditch will provide water for irrigation and filling ponds. lrrigation waterwill be used for
the nursery operations and to irrigate the open space\pasture.
DOMESTIC WATER REQU IREMENTS
The existing well, permit no. 158441, located on proposed lot 2 is limited to "ordinary
household purposes inside a single family dwelling and watering of the user's non-
commercialdomestic animals." The maximum pumping rate is limited to 15 gallon per
minute. The project will need to obtain three new well permits, including a new well
permit for the well. The new permits can only be issued after the augmentation plan is
decreed.
Sweetwater Perennials
Garfield County Sketch Plan
\-yuter Resotrce Plan 'r
Domestic water requirements for this project have been estimated on an equivalent
residential unit (EQR) basis to allow for flexibility in the development of the property.
One EQR represents the water requirements for a standard single-fiamily residence. lt
is assumed that 1 EQR serves 3.5 persons and requires 350 gallons per day (gpd). ln
addition, each EQR is assumed tghaye 2,000 square feet of associated irrigated land
(lawn area). lndividualwells willbeg/the potable water needs for each lot.
For purposes of this report, we haY6 assumed that Sweetwater Perennials will have a
build-out demand of 7 EQR's.
NEW WATER RIGHTS
To meet the proposed irrigation needs, Sweetwater Perennials will use its historic
Gannon Ditch water rights that are diverted from Sweetwater Creek. ln addition, new
water rights are being appropriated for a Gannon Ditch enlargement to fillon-site ponds
for operational needs and to augment out of priority Gannon Ditch and well rights.
ln addition, a second augrnentation source will be obtained from Wolford Mountain
Reservoir by contract with the Colorado River Water Conservation District. Wolford
Mountair.r Reservoir releases can augment downstream calls coming from the Colorado
River, such as Shoshone and Cameo.

i44-Forelle-Brownsto complex, 12 to 25 percent slopes, This map unit is on mountain side slopes.
Ebration is O5@ to 7,500 feet. The average annual precipitation is 12 to 14 inches, the average annual air
temperature is 40 to 44 degrees F, and the average frost-free period is 85 to 105 days.
This unit is about 50 percent Forelle soil and 35 percent Brownsb soil.
Included in this unit are small areas of Tridell soils and basalt Rock outcrop on knolls. Also included are small
areas of Mussel and Morval soils in the more gently sloping areas. Included areas make up about 15 percent of
the total acreage.
The Forelle soil is deep and well drained. It formed in mixed alluvium derived dominantly from sedimentary rocks.
Typically, the surtace layer is brown loam about 6 inches thick. The subsoil is day loam about 24 inches thick
The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is loam.
Permeability is mderate in the Forelle soil. Available water capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60
inchc or more. Runoff is rapid. The hazard of water erosion generally is moderate, but it is severe in areas that
contain rclcanic ash.
The Brownsto soil is deep and well drained. It forrned in alluvium derived dominanUy from coarse textured,
calcareous sandstone and basatt. Typically, the upper part of the surface layer is light brownish gray gravdly
sandy loam about 4 inches thick. The lower part is light brownish gray gravelly loam about 7 inches thick. The
upper 19 inches of the suHratum is very gravelly sandy loam. The next 12 inches is very gravelly loamy sand.
The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is gravelly sandy loam. A thin layer of partialty decomposed needles,
twigs, and leaves b on the surhce in many places.
Permeability is moderate in the Brorvnsto soil. Available water capacity is low. The effective rooting depth ls 60
inches or more. Runoff is rapid, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate.
This unit is used as rangeland or as wildlife habitat.
The potential plant community on the Forelle soil is mainly wes'tern wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, Indian
ricegrass, Douglas rabbitbrush, and Wyoming big sagebrush. Muttongrass, streambank wheatgrass, and winErfat
also are included. The average annual production of airdry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre. If the range
condition deteriorates, Wyoming big sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, and cheatgrass increase in abundance.
The potential plant community on the Brownsto soil is mainly need leandthread, Indian ricegrass, western
wheatgrass, and Wyoming big sagebrush. Euebunch wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, and scattered Utah
juniper and pinyon pine also are included. The arrerage annual production of air{ry vegetation is about 600
pounds per acre. If the range condition deteriorates, Wloming big sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, cheatgrass,
and annual weeds increase in abundance.
Suitable management practices include proper grazing use and a planned grazing system. If the quality of range
vegetation has seriously deteriorated, seeding is needed. The main limitation is stoniness in areas of the
Brownsto soil. For successful seeding, a seedbecl shouH be prepared and the seed drilled. In areas of the Forelle
soil, brush management improves deteriorated areas of range that are producing rnore woody shrubs than were
present in the potential plant mmmunity. The slope limits access by livesbck. The limited accessibility resutts in
overgrazing of the less sloping areas.
If this unit is used for homesite dwelopment, the main limitation is the slope.
This map unit is in capability subclass Vie, noninigated. The Fordle soil is in the Rolling Loam range site, and the
Brownsto soil is in the Stony Foothills range site.
