Purpose of these Application Materials This Application from the Roaring Fork Water & Sanitation District (“RFWSD”) requests Garfield County’s review of proposed water and sewer facilities pursuant to the Location and Extent (L&E) provisions of sections 30-28-110, C.R.S., and sections 4-111 and 7- 102 of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution, as amended (“ULUR”). The RFWSD and its engineer, in consultation with the Roaring Fork RE-1 School District (“RE-1”), have determined that the facilities described in this Application are necessary to provide water and wastewater service to the RE-1 Eastbank School site and other properties located in the northwest portion of the RFWSD’s extended service area located near the intersection of State Highway 82 and County Road 154 collectively referred to as the “Eastbank Properties”. The proposed utilities will use existing capacity in the RFWSD’s water and wastewater system without increasing the burden on existing customers. Background of the RFWSD The RFWSD was created and called the Aspen Glen Water & Sanitation District in 1994 by decree entered in Civil Action No. 94CV29 and by approval of the Service Plan for the Aspen Glen Water & Sanitation District by Garfield County in Resolution 94-008. As first organized, the Aspen Glen Water & Sanitation District was to provide domestic water only to the Aspen Glen PUD but be the regional wastewater service provider for a service area that was larger than the Aspen Glen PUD. Then, as a result of other developments in the region, Garfield County determined that the RFWSD should also be recognized as the Regional Service Provider for both water and wastewater services. This is memorialized by the Roaring Fork Water and Sanitation District Service Plan Amendment and Garfield County’s approval of the Service Plan Amendment in Resolution No. 2001-28. The RFWSD’s current service area boundary stretches from the Coryell Ranch and Midland Point subdivision on the southern end, north to the Ironbridge development on the west side of the Roaring Fork River and the Sanders Ranch, CMC turnoff area on the east side of the Roaring Fork River. The RFWSD has submitted an application to amend its service plan to also include the Eastbank Properties within its extended service area. A map of the RFWSD’s Service Area as amended is attached as Figure 1. Pre-Inclusion Agreement The RFWSD has entered into a Pre-Inclusion Agreement with RE-1 and recorded at Reception #874165. Exhibit A. Pursuant to that Agreement, the RFWSD will agree to provide ROARING FORK WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT water and wastewater services upon the construction of certain facilities necessary to meet the demands of the RE-1 and potential future development of the Eastbank Properties. It also requires that certain of those facilities be oversized in order to accommodate the regional EQR projections from adjoining properties. The facilities proposed for review in this application are for utility improvements necessary in the opinion of the RFWSD to provide water and sewer service to RE-1 and surrounding Eastbank Properties. These include the location of a 12-inch water transmission line and multiple sewer force mains from existing infrastructure located in and adjacent to the Ironbridge subdivision, across the Roaring Fork River on the existing Hardwick Bridge, then along County Road 154 right of way to the Eastbank School. And it includes the construction of a sanitary sewer lift station on property described as parcel number 218535415002 by the Garfield County Assessor all generally shown on Figure 2. Section 2. Submittal Requirements Pursuant to Table 4-203 and section 4-203 of the ULUR, the RFWSD provides these general application materials: 1. Application Form: The Application form is provided. 2. Ownership: The water and sewer facilities discussed in this Application will be located in the county road right-of-way or through easements obtained from private property owners. Applicant acknowledges that it will be required to obtain a Utility Permit from the Garfield County Road & Bridge that will also require approval from the Board of County Commissioners, including authorization to suspend utilities on the Hardwick Bridge. In the event easements cannot be obtained from private property owners, the RFWSD can exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire such property. See sections 32-1-1006(c)(I) and (f), C.R.S. 3. Adjacent property owners: Exhibit B is a list and map of the owners of record of real property located within 200 feet of the properties affected by this Application.   The RFWSD has conducted a search of the tax records at the Garfield County Assessor’s Office for the properties affected by the proposed water and sewer facilities. The search of the County Assessor’s records did not reveal any mineral estate owner under the affected properties. Pursuant to section 24-65.5-103(2)(b), the Applicant has acted in good faith and is not required to provide any additional notice. Exhibit C. 4. Fees: No fee is required by this application. ROARING FORK WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT 5. Project Description: This Application is for Location and Extent approval for the extension of domestic water and sanitary sewer lines from the RFWSD’s existing infrastructure to the Eastbank Properties located along county road rights of way. Section 3. Review Criteria Pursuant to section 4-111.C of the ULUR, the Planning Commission is to review the application to determine whether the project is in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. Future Land Use Utilizing the City of Glenwood Springs FLUM The Garfield County Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from the 2030 Comprehensive Plan designates the area to be served by the proposed facilities as being included within the urban growth boundary of the City of Glenwood Springs. The future land use and density on this site designated by the City of Glenwood Springs’ FLUM is Low Density Residential. The City of Glenwood Springs’ Comprehensive Plan describes this type of development as, “…single-family residential development that is intended to maintain rural character.” The comprehensive plan however, does not detail the type of development and associated densities for this use; it instead refers to the current land use codes. The City’s Land Use Code does not specifically include Low Density Residential in its Zone Districts, but it appears to most closely align with R1/20 which is Residential Zoning with 1-residence per 20,000 SF. Under this zone district, a school and additional development is allowed with a special review process. Provision of water and sewer service from a regional service provider to the Eastbank Properties is therefore in general compliance with both the City’s Comprehensive Plan/FLUM and with the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Section 1-Urban Growth Areas and IGA The project site is included within the Urban Growth Area as is detailed on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The project site is an area where the County desires to direct development. The project site can and will be served by all utilities as each utility company, with the exception of water and sewer, currently has facilities at or very near the project site. It is anticipated that the Site will be included within the RFWSD service plan area and that water and sewer will be provided by the RFWSD. The RFWSD has applied to amend its current service plan to include the project Site. The RFWSD is in the process of designing water and sewer main extensions from their existing facilities to serve the Site. The project is in general conformance with the vision outlined in Chapter 3, Section 1 of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. ROARING FORK WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT Section 2-Housing While this application does not specifically include future residential development, the extension of water and sewer lines to undeveloped areas will allow for future development of these properties and allow for a wide range of housing types. The housing will be located on or near Highway 82 and existing transit corridors and within the City of Glenwood Springs urban growth boundary. This project is in general conformance with the vision outlined in Chapter 3, Section 2 of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Section 3 – Transportation This Application does not create new roadways. It does, however, request construction within the County Road right of way of County Roads 154 and 109. The RFWSD will be required to obtain a Utility permit from County Road & Bridge as well as approval from the Board of County Commissioners. The RFWSD is in the process of preparing final design for the project, which will also include a review and analysis of the feasibility for suspending infrastructure on the Hardwick Bridge. This project is in general conformance with Chapter 3, Section 3 of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Section 4 – Economics, Employment and Tourism This proposal extends water and sewer lines to property to be developed as a public school. It provides critical infrastructure to this employment center and potentially to adjacent properties. Thus, it facilitates the growth of institutions to educate the county workforce, and improves the quality of life of its citizens. This project is in general conformance with Chapter 3, Section 4 of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. Section 5 – Recreation, Open Space, and Trails This Application does not impact open spaces or trails. The majority of the activity will occur within the County Road right of way. Section 6 – Agriculture This Application does not impact agricultural lands or remove lands from agriculture. ROARING FORK WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT Section 7 – Water and Sewer Services This Application extends water and sanitary sewer service to the RE-1 school site. This expanded infrastructure will allow adjacent property owners with on-site wastewater treatment systems to connect to the new infrastructure. The RFWSD owns and operates five wells drilled into the Roaring Fork alluvium and four water storage tanks with capacity to serve the proposed school site. The RFWSD has also applied for a water supply contract from the Basalt Water Conservancy District to provide a legal water supply to the RE-1 school. Current water service in the project area consists of household quality individual small capacity wells. They are owned by individuals, or private corporations. None of the systems to be served by this extension meet municipal quality water system standards. The RFWSD currently owns and operates a 0.107 million gallons per day (MGD) activated sludge facility with tertiary filtration. The facility was designed in 1994 and was planned to have three phases totaling 0.321 MGD at build out. The wastewater facility is a tertiary level treatment facility with the following processes. The influent treatment headworks facility consists of a mechanical bar screen, aerated grit chamber, classifiers to dewater the grit, and flow measurement devices. All processes in the headworks building were sized for 321,000 gpd. The main secondary process consists of an extended aeration activated sludge aeration basin designed for 107,000 gpd. The process has fine bubble membrane diffusers. Aeration is supplied through centrifugal blowers located in the administration building. After the aeration process flows go to a secondary clarifier sized for over 107,000 gpd. Flow from the clarifier goes to a clearwell where the effluent is pumped through a tertiary mixed media filter. The filter has two independent filters with a total capacity of 214,000 gpd. That filtered water then proceeds to a below ground clearwell and chlorine contact chamber. Disinfected water is then directed to a natural wetlands area where water is further cleaned before discharge to the Roaring Fork River. Effluent limitations are based upon discharge to these wetlands and are stricter than discharge to the Roaring Fork River. The water distribution system for the Eastbank Properties is being designed by a professional engineer licensed by the State of Colorado. Throughout the design process and prior to connection to the RFWSD, the system will be reviewed by the RFWSD’s engineer to ensure compliance with the RFWSD’s Rules and Regulations and specifications. Furthermore, pursuant to the Pre-Inclusion Agreement between the RFWSD and RE-1, the water distribution system, and facilities described in this Application, will be oversized to meet the needs and demands of surrounding areas and not just the needs of RE-1. The system components will also be reviewed and permitted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in accordance with its standards. This project is in conformance with Chapter 3, Section 7 of the County’s Comprehensive Plan by ensuring high water quality is provided to the project site and disposed of without the proliferation of private water systems. ROARING FORK WATER & SANITATION DISTRICT Section 8 – Natural Resources This Application is for the construction of water and sanitary sewer service in existing rights of way and developed areas and will not affect natural resources. Section 9 – Mineral Extraction This Application is for the construction of water and sanitary sewer service in existing rights of way and developed areas and will not prohibit resource extraction. This project is in general conformance with Chapter 3, Section 9 of the County’s Comprehensive Plan Summary The proposed facilities will allow the Eastbank Properties to tie into the existing RFWSD system and expand that system to new development in an unincorporated area within Garfield County. It is also consistent with the RFWSD Amended Service Plan and Garfield County’s recognition of the RFWSD as the Regional Service Provider for the area. The school proposed by RE-1 was the subject of a previous location and extent approval by Garfield County when RE-1 purchased land for the construction of the school. This Application is a continuation of that process to build and develop the school.
