RE: SPPA 6325 Preliminary Plan of the Story Subdivision
To Whom It May Concern:
On April g,2Ol0I sent you a letter indicating that your application, noted above, was incomplete
and did not include all information required by the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 or, the
information that was supplied was deficient. In that letter I described each item that was
technically inadequate giving you the opportunity to address the deficiencies in your application
and resubmit the specific documents, forms, or plans as noted in my letter (copy attached).
The Unifred Land Use Resolution of 2008 (ULUR) requires the Director to make a
Determination of Completeness for Land Use Change Applications within thirty (30) working
days of receipt of the application materials (10 working days for Administrative Review
Permits). If an application is not complete, the Director shall inform the applicant of the
deficiencies in writing and shall take no further action on the application until the deficiencies
are remedied. If the applicant fails to correct the deliciencies within sixty (60) calendar
days, the application shall be considered withdrawn. The sixty calendar day time period
begins when the letter, noted above, is sent to the applicant. You have not responded within that
sixty day time period (ending at 5 PM on June 9, 2010) so the Building and Planning Department
of Garfield County considers your application withdrawn. You may reapply by submitting three
complete applications that address the deficiencies noted in the letter sent to you on April 9,
2g1A. This is considered a new application and does require payment of the current application
fee.

RE: SPPA 6325 Preliminary Plan of the Story Subdivision
To Whom it May Concern:
I am writing this letter regarding the application for a Preliminary Plan of the proposed Story
Subdivision. I've reviewed the submittal documents, received on February 24,2010, and at this
time, the application does not include all required information per Garfield County Regulations.
The application is therefore deemed Technically Incomplete and the Planning Deparhnent will
not process this application any further until the following information, listed below, has been
provided to the satisfaction of this office. Please address the following items and submit three
copies of the modified information to this office so that we may continue the review of this
application:
Application Documents (This Application was reviewed under the requirements of the
Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as amended.)
o Please review the required submittal requirements in Section 5-501 (G)
G. Preliminary Plan. The Preliminary Plan Review process is set forth in Section 5-303,

e.Erosion and Sediment Control Plan 4-502(4)
f. Water Supply Plan
g.Sanitary Sewage Disposal Plan
13. Draftlmprovements Agreement, Covenants and Restrictions and By-laws
The strikethrough items do not appear to be required. Section 5-502 describes the content
requirement of each item.
o The water decree requirements conflict with the current narrative. The decree discusses
construction ponds and the issuance of the well permits (with a reissuance of the
"exempt" well permit at a future date). Please show the well locations, engineering of the
ponds, cost estimates, etc. This is required in Section 5-501G and please address this in
the draft Improvements Agreement as well
. You have not provided a copy of the deed showing your ownership.
o The Preliminary plan references a 2001 title commitment that needs to be updated and
submiued.
. All wells need to be shown, and the Story Ponds no. 1 and 2,part of the water court
decree, needed for inigation and augmentation of the wells, among other uses, need to be
shown.
o The terms and conditions of the water decree, assuming it was even finalized (you
submitted an unsigned copy) have to be satisfied, i.e. that well permits for each well must
be obtained prior to construction of the wells, and that the ponds have to be constructed
and filled before the well permits are issued, among others. Please submit the signed
decree and a copy of any finding of reasonable diligence if the deadline has passed.
Please provide evidence that the water contract with the river district is still in effect,
. Please verify that you are in the Gypsum Fire Protection District. You have provided a
"Petition for lnclusion" but no documentation whether you are in the Gypsum Fire
Protection District.
. Your letter from Wright Water Engineers is outdated and references the, now outdated,
zoning code.
o The unsigned water decree does not authorize the use of the ponds as a "fire flow supply"
. Only one page of the 41612005letter from the state engineer was submitted as a response
to your expired application. Please include the entire letter ot, you should consider a
more recent correspondence with the Division of Water Resources.
. Also you have only provided a second page of a 4127 2005 letter from Michael Erion;
please provide the entire letter.
. You have not addressed how the new lots will access Sweetwater Road.
. Please include draft covenants and an improvement agreement. The details for the water
supply need to be engineered and costs estimates included in the Improvements
Agreement, etc.
o You have not submitted a Land Suitability Analysis nor an Impact Analysis, whic[r is a
required submittal document.
Landscape and Lighting Plans are required if you propose any common ownership areas.
Your narrative has not responded to the requirements of Article 7, Division 2, General
Resource Protection Standards for Land Use Change Permits-
Adiacent Ownership
r You did not provide an assessor's map. Please include BLM on your property owners list
(it appears they have adjacent property) and you must include mineral owners on your list
if there are severed minerals.
