GARFIELU COUNTY
BUILDING & PLANNING
The County's final conditions for approval of the Seaton Subdivision include treatment of
noxious weeds and installation of a Knox Box on the access gate. As stated in previous
correspondence with the County, the Seatons are fully willing to meet these conditions. However,
the on -the -ground conditions have made this work impossible until Spring, 2011. Therefore, the
Seatons propose to treat the weeds on the property and install a Knox Box no later June 30, 2011.
The Seatons will provide the County evidence of weed treatment and installation of the Knox. Box
by that time. This will allow the final County approvals for the subdivision to take place without
delay.
Thank you for your assistance on this matter and feel free to contact me with any questions
you may have.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Seaton:
(970) 945-5700
(970) 945-1253 Fax
Zancanella & Associates, Inc. conducted a 24 hour pump test on your well July 7-8,
2010. We have summarized the pump test data and water quality results below. The
well pumped continuously at a rate of 7.95 gpm for a 24 hour period.
The well is situated in the NW1h of the SW'fd of Section 3, Township 7 South, Range 89
West of the 6th P.M. Refer to Figure 4 to see the approximate location of the well.
A copy of the well permit no. 68933-F is attached. The permanent well permit is a fee
well permit supported by a West Divide Contract. The proposed contract uses were for
4 EQR using 350 gallons per day (gpd), 6 livestock units and the irrigation of up to one
acre.
Welt Drilling
The well was constructed June 30, 1974 at a total depth of 45 feet by Collins Drilling.
The well was drilled through clays, boulder, sand and gravel. The Seaton Well was
drilled with 6 inch steel casing to a total of 45 feet. The perforated well casing that
prevents debris from entering the well casing was set from 32 feet to 45 feet and the
steel casing pulled back to 35 feet.
Pump Test
The static water level prior to the pump test was approximately 6 feet below the top of
the well casing. The existing pump was set at 40 feet. This set up allowed for a
maximum drawdown of approximately 34 feet (40 minus 6).
The pump test began at 12:21 on July 7, 2010 and pumping ended at 12:51 on July 8,
2010 to complete the 24 hour pump period. The test was started at a pumping rate of
7.95 gallons per minute (gpm). The well continued to pump at the 7.95 gpm rate until it
was shut off at 1470 minutes. A total of 11695 gallons were pumped over the 24 hour
test.
Before the test began, a pressure transducer was placed in the Seaton Well. The
transducer measured the water level in the well every minute for the duration of the test.
The well was tested manually using well sounding equipment to verify the electronic
data. The water level curve is shown in Table 1 and Figure 1.
After 24 hours of continuous pumping, the pump was shut off and the well was allowed
time to recover. During the recovery period, water levels were monitored by the
transducer placed in the well. The recovery is shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. The
plots of the recovery data show that the water level returned to near static levels within
24 hours. Based on these plots, it can be determined that the water level in the well
recovered normally.
We believe that the long term yield of the well is likely the 7.95 gpm pumped during the
24 hour pumping test. It may be necessary to have some on-site storage to meet peak
demands. A storage tank could also be used to meet residential fire sprinkler demands
of the proposed two single family residences, if required. We believe that the well is
physically adequate for the purposes shown in the water use estimated for the West
Divide Contract attached. The peak month of July would divert 0.65 AF or 4.7 gpm.
The pump test was conducted simultaneously while supplying the minimal needs of the
residences, which represents the short duration anomalies on the pumping curves.
Water Quality
Water quality samples were collected and sent to ACZ Analytical Laboratory in
Steamboat Springs, Colorado on July 6, 2010. The results of the analysis are pending..
A copy of the negative (passed) bacteriological test has been included.
If you have any questions with regard to this matter, please contact our office at (970)
945-5700.
Very truly yours,
Zancanella & Associates, Inc.

RE: Combined Preliminary Plan & Final Plat, Seaton Subdivision
The purpose of this letter is to request Garfield County's consideration and recommendations of
approval of the Combined Preliminary Plan & Final Plat application for the proposed Seaton Subdivision,
located off of County Road 117 Garfield County, Colorado.
Much of the information from the preliminary submittal for this project is unchanged. This application
contains all corrected information that the County received on April 5, 2010 in response to a Garfield
County "Not Technically Complete" letter dated February 19,2010.
According to a Garfield County letter dated May 13, 2010, the application was deemed "Technically
Complete" under the condition that quantity & quality data for the property well (permit #168933-F) be
submitted with this submittal. Per a conversation between Don Seaton & Bill Collins with Collins Pump
Service date 7-28-95 that Is attached with the well permit, the well tested at 50 GPM with 12 grains of
hardness and 310 ppm of suspended solids. It is our request that the County allow for a temporary
acceptance till said well has been tested for biological & chemical qualities and the data from the test
has been received.
Thank you for your review and consideration.

Re: CPPF 6257 -Combined Preliminary Plan and Final Plat, Seaton Subdivision
Mr. Veljic
This letter contains responses to the various issues raised by the County in its letter of February
19, 2009, whereby it deemed the Seaton Subdivision application technically incomplete. The
responses of the Applicant are in italics.
Application
• The Authorization Letter needs the signature of Mrs. Seaton.
The Authorization Letter has been Signed by Nanette Seaton
• There is no narrative discussion in the application requesting approval for Accessory
Dwelling Units yet comments in your discussion about adequate water imply there will
be 4 residential units on the two lots.
At the current time no approval is sought for accessory dwelling units as part of the
subdivision. The Applicant has obtained a West Divide Water Conservancy District contract
and a well permit for the property which would ultimately accommodate two accessory
dwelling units. However, the decision about whether to pursue approval of accessory
dwelling units will be left to fixture owners. Under the Land Use Code, an accessory
dwelling unit can be approved by administrative review in the Rural Zone District.
• There seems to be some conflict between the Parcels A and B and your labeled Tract A.
I'm not sure how Tract A fits into the plat. Is it proposed for dedication, open space, or
some other use?
Tract A is that portion of County Road 149 (Cheyln Road) which encroaches on the Seaton
Property. Tract A will be dedicated to the County on the Final Plat.
• The legal descriptions in the title commitment don't seem to include Tract A. Your
narrative should explain the parcel history for the separate lots, the combining of the two
lots, the past boundary line adjustment, and where Tract A comes from and who owns it.
The Final Plat has been changed to describe the two lots to be created by this subdivision as
Lot 1 and Lot 2. Historically, the Seaton Property was described as two "Parcels", a Parcel
A and a Parcel B. This legal description is shown on the Title Commitment prepared by
Stewart Title (in the Application) because that is how the property was conveyed in the
vesting deed for the Seatons. Based upon a review of the chain of title, the historic Parcel A
and Parcel B were always in common ownership. The County Attorney has taken the
position that Parcel A and Parcel B merged by operation of law. Thus, for the purposes of
the subdivision application, the historical Parcel A and Parcel B distinction is irrelevant.
• I disagree with your discussion in the application concerning open space, that an "Open
Space Plan" is unnecessary unless you address the intended use of Tract A.
As discussed above, Tract A will be dedicated to Garfield County to accommodate County
Road 149. There will be no common ownership of open space associated with the
subdivision. Thus, no Open Space Plan is required under the code.
• Your title commitment describes Parcels A and B but I'm not sure that the title
commitment includes Tract A. Ownership of the entire 13.22 acre sites needs to be
confirmed since your title commitment doesn't reference the entire 13.22 acre site.
As discussed above, this historic Parcel A and Parcel B includes the entire Seaton Property.
This includes Tract A which will be dedicated to Garfield County.
• The legal description used on the authorization letter does not match the property
boundaries on the plat.
The legal description on the new authorization letter signed by Don and Nanette Seaton
matches the legal description on the plat.
• In your application you imply that an analysis of stormwater detention is not required
(Section 7-207). A stormwater detention plan and calculation for Parcels A and B (plus
Tract A) include the correct sizing for all runoff from impervious areas is required.
It was not implied that a drainage analysis was unnecessary. A drainage analysis was
prepared and a Drainage Narrative written discussing detention requirements due to
development on the property. Calculated runoff rates for historic & developed conditions
during the 100 -yr storm event have been attached with the Drainage Narrative in Item 3 of
this application. The typical detention requirements found from the calculations performed
suggest the possibility of providing 700± cf of detention for both lots to mitigate the impacts
of development. Although these calculations suggest detention, engineering judgment
concludes that due to the sites immediate proximity to Four Mile Creek, detaining waters
onsite could result in adverse affects. Detained waters would take longer to release from the
site and could end up contributing to the peak flows of Four Mile Creek that arrive to the site
much later. Releasing the runofffrom the site immediately could allow the site to stabilize
prior to the arrival of peak flows from upstream properties along Four Mile Creek.
• You have not submitted a Land Suitability Analysis which is a required submittal
document.
A land suitability analysis has been included in the schedule of items.
• Landscape and Lighting Plans are required if you propose any common ownership areas
(not sure about "Tract A").
As described above, there is 710 common ownership areas associated with the subdivision.
Tract A will be dedicated to Garfield County.
• Your narrative has not responded to the requirements of Article 7, Division 2, General
Resource Protection Standards for Land Use Change Permits.
A response to the General Standards Article 7 Division 1 and General Resource Protection
Standards Article 7 Division 2 has been included in the schedule of items.
Adj acent Ownership
• Your parcel map has two parcels labeled with the 001 suffix and only one address.
Please correct the missing parcel ownership.
They are different Parcel ID numbers one is 239503309001 as part of the Sunlight
View II Sub. and the other is 23950330907001 as part of the Lazy Diamond Sub.
• There are missing ownerships for adjacent parcels (BLM possibly for one) and two
parcels with the suffix 032 and 035.
The list of adjacent property owners has been updated to include the missing parcels.
• You have not provided a list of mineral owners on your parcel ownership. There appears
to be numerous mineral owners in from the chain of title/deeds.
A list of mineral right owners is included as a supplement to the Application section dealing
with title. Notice of the land use hearing will be sent to mineral owners after hearing dates
have been scheduled by the County.
Preliminary Plan (See Section 5-502 (C) (4)) The following data is missing from the
Preliminary Plan.
• The legal description is missing.
This information is on the Plat with the Certification of Dedications and Ownership.
• Site data in chart form presenting:
o Total area of the proposed subdivision; total area of the developed buildings,
driveways and parking areas; total area of non-residential floor space.
This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary
o Total number of proposed lots; breakdown of the lot total by number of lots per
use (i.e. residential use, business or conunercial and industrial use, and other
public and non-public uses).
This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary
o Total number of proposed off-street parking spaces.
This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary
o Total number of dwelling units; total number of dwelling units per structure
proposed.
This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary
o Total gross density proposed.
This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary
• Boundary lines, corner pins, and dimensions of the subject property, including land
survey data to identify the parcel with section corners, distance and bearing to corners,
quarter corners, township and range.
This information is shown on the Plat Map of the property.
• Topography at the following minimum contour intervals.
o Subdivision with all lots two (2) acres or greater in size, topography shown at five

Final Plat (See Section 5-502 (C) (5) The following data is missing from the Final Plat or not
correctly displayed.
• Final plat shall be scaled at 1 inch to 200 feet. Final plat shall be prepared in a clear and
legible manner on reproducible film stock measuring 24" x 36" with clear margins of two
(2) inches on the left hand side and one-half inch on the remaining sides.
A scale of 1.200 would not be an appropriate scale for this plat to legibly show all the
pertinent information that is needed on the Plat. A scale of 1:60 was chosen to illustrate
the entire property but also maintain adequate detail to legibly show the pertinent
information.
• The Final Plat shall contain the following information, in a format prescribed by the
County.
• The lengths of all arcs, radii and tangents. Sufficient data shall be shown for all curved
lines on the plat to enable reestablishment of the curves in the field.
This information is provided on the Plat Map.
• All lots and blocks shall be numbered consecutively.
The lots and been renumbered Lot 1 & Lot 2.
• Area of the site, area of individual parcels, and areas of all development including
developed driveways, parking and buildings.
This information is provided in the land use summary.
• The purpose and owner(s) of all easements and statements from all utility companies, as
applicable, that the stated services will be provided to the proposed development after
platting. A plat note may be necessary to provide complete information regarding the
purpose of the easement.
• The boundary lines and dimensions, shown accurately, of all property to be reserved and
dedicated, with the means of access to such property clearly shown and its intended uses
noted.
• Identification of lots with slope in excess of thirty (30) percent and any other lots where
special studies are required prior to obtaining a development permit.
A designated boundary line has been added that illustrates areas that are in excess of
30%.
• Delineation of all known, identified or designated one hundred (100) year floodplains and
localized areas subject to periodic inundation along the required stream setback lines, if
any.
The 100 -yr floodplain boundary is shown an the Plat Map.
• Design and layout of all water and sewer service lines, treatment facilities and other
elements of the sanitary sewer system.
Sewer system layout is shown on the Plat Map.
• All lands within the boundary of the subdivision shall be accounted for as a lot, tract,
parcel, open space, street, right-of-way, alley and so forth, and all areas of such lands
shall be shown on the plat to the nearest one hundredth of an acre.
The Subdivision is comprised of three areas; Lot 1, Lot 2, & Tract A.
• All plat notes required under Preliminary Plan approval.
The notes from Preliminary Plat have been included on the Final Plat.
• The Final Plat shall include executed certificates, notices, and statements in the standard
format required by the County, including the following certifications.
o Certificate for acceptance by Board of County Commissioners.
o Certification by County Surveyor and Surveyor.
o Owners and Mortgagee certification.
o Certificate for County Clerk and Recorder.
o Certificate for the Garfield County Treasurer.
Theses certificates have been added to the Preliminary & Final Plats.
Additional Final Plat Comments
• Your signature certificates are outdated and incorrect. You've added certificates intended
for the City of Glenwood Springs. The ULUR (Section 5-502 (C) (5) has a list of
required certificates plus add in the County Treasurer. I will email you the current
certificate language in MS word format;
o The Board of County Con-imissioners
o The County Surveyor and your Surveyor
o Owners and Mortgagee Certificates
o Certificate for the County Clerk and Recorder
o The Garfield County Treasurer
Theses certificates have been added to the Preliminary & Final Plats.
• I'm not sure where the site construction notes and future development disclosures come
from.
These notes are intended for the contractor as part of the construction documents and
were not to be construed as a plat note but as a site plan notes. These notes are not on
the Preliminary or Final Plats.
• I've noted my concerns about Tract A in other continents. This Tract is still a "lot" and
this application would be a three lot subdivision. Will there be an HOA to maintain this
lot? The issues surrounding this third lot need to be resolved.
Tract A is not a lot and is to be dedicated to the County as discussed previously.
• The ULUR requires a numerical designation for each lot not a letter designation. Please
change your lot labeling to Lot 1 and Lot 2.
The Lots have been relabeled as Lot 1 & Lot 2
• A plat note is required that "... no land disturbances are allowed within 35 feet of the
Four Mile Creek (add name) except those permitted under Section 7-203 (A) (2) of the
ULUR.
The setback has been revised to provide a 35' buffer. A plat note has been added under
the setback/envelopes section clarifying the setback criteria.
• I have some general final plat notes and comments;
o There is a discrepancy between the distance iii the second paragraph of the
Certification of Dedication and Ownership of the final plat and the distance noted
on the final plat (412.99 feet vs. 398.24 feet)
The 394.24 feet is the distance of the west property line prior to the Oddo/Seaton
boundary line adjustment Rec # 565474. An additional 14.75 feet along the west
boundary was obtained with the line adjustment bringing the present west line to
412.99 feet.
o Length and radius are missing on the CR 149 right of way
Length and radius was added.
o The distance measurement is missing on the curve of the entry drive
Distance was added.
o Revise setbacks from Four Mile Creek and add plat notes
The setbacks have been revised and a note added to the setbacks/envelopes
section of the Plat.
o I've noted many questions about Tract A shown on the plat
Tract A is to be dedicated to the County, as discussed previously.
o Does the area of Parcel B include Tract A
No, a note has been added to Lot 2's annotation.
o There is a bearing missing on a common Parcel A/B boundary line
Bearing was added.
Additional Comments
• Your application provides evidence that you have a legal right to the necessary water to
serve the subdivision but the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 requires a 24 hour
pump test to prove the physical capacity to provide water. Your test should relate the
need for two (or four if ADUs are contemplated) single family homes both in quantity
and quality. Any approval of the preliminary and final plat will be conditioned for
adequate testing.
This letter constitutes a waiver of the requirement to conduct a 24 hour pump test as foreseen
in County Code Section 7-104 B.2.a. As stated in the opening paragraph ofArticle VII, "in
the event that certain minimum standards may be either inappropriate ... a waiver from such
standards may be considered." Such a waiver is appropriate here.
The subdivision will be served by an existing well located on the property. The existing well has
been used for several years to serve two existing residential dwellings. The proposed subdivision
would use the well to serve the exact same two dwellings —just on two separate lots. As noted
herein, no accessory dwelling unit approvals are sought at this time. The existing well has
provided an adequate physical supply of water to the two dwellings. A 24 hour pump test would
be a costly exercise that would yield no additional relevant information.
• A revised/new well permit will be required as a condition of approval and should be
consistent with your West Divide contract. If your application(s) for well permits and
water contracts are for up to four units why doesn't your Subdivision application include
that request?
As described above, this Application does not seek approval for accessory dwelling units.
Instead, the Application merely seeks approval of a subdivision creating two lots each of
which will have one existing residence. Future owners of the two lots may independently
seek approval for accessory dwelling units in conformance with the County Code. The West
Divide Water Conservancy District contract and the well permit will facilitate up to two
accessory dwelling units if ultimately approved by the County. A copy of the new well permit
is attached.
• You have provided calculations for Road Impact fees that do not apply to the existing
homes. However, if you are proposing Accessory Dwelling Units for each lot then a
Road Impact Fee would be assessed. The cost/adt you quote is incorrect. The fee is the
cumulative total of Study Area(s) 8a through 8d for a total of $264.
No accessory dwelling units are proposed at this time.
• One of the ISDS permits is for a 1 bedroom home. Has this ISDS been sized for a larger
residence? The application documents imply a larger home will be constructed on this
future parcel.
The collection systems were sized to accommodate current demands. Any future connections
to these systems may require additional designs and shall be permitted at the time of fixture
development.
• There is no discussion in your application concerning the inconsistency between the
requested subdivision and the Comprehensive Plan residential density designation for this
area as 1 residential unit/10 acres.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Zoning, Comprehensive Plan, and the
surrounding neighborhood. The property already has two dwelling units. The proposed
subdivision will merely place the two existing units on two separate legal parcels. The
density of one unit per 6.5 acres already exists on the Seaton Property. This density is also
consistent with neighboring developments - Chelyn Acres (2-7 acre lots), Lazy Diamond
Subdivision (4-6 acre lots) and Sunlight View II (1-2 acre lots). Both of the proposed lots
meet the minimum zoning requirement of 2 acres.
Thank you for your review and consideration.

RE: Seaton Subdivision
Subdivision Application
In accordance with Sections 5-501 E & G Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of
2008, the followings materials are to be submitted review. The owner or the property (Don & Nanette
Seaton) desire to take advantage of the provisions of Section 5-303 and have the preliminary plan and
final plat review combined. Combining preliminary plan and final plat review is appropriate here
because these will be fewer than seven (7) Tots and no additional site improvements are necessary to
facilitate the subdivision.
Preliminary Plan Review Process:
1. Application Forms & Fees:
A check in the amount of $675 has been enclosed for the Garfield County application review fee.
The Preliminary Plan Subdivision Application has been signed and is enclosed. A check in the
amount of $600 has been enclosed for a referral agency fee made out to the Colorado
Geological Society. A submittal form for land use review provided by the Colorado Geological
Society has been filled out and is enclosed.
2. Vicinity Map:
Two vicinity maps can be found under Exhibit A; one is at 1"=4000' scale and the other is of a
USGS Quadrangle at a 1"=2000' scale.
3. Preliminary Plan Map:
A half size Plan Map and half size Plat Map can be found in Exhibit A that was developed in
accordance with Section 5-502.C.4, Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution
of 2008.
4. Yield Plan:
The proposed subdivision is not being applied for as a conservation subdivision therefore no
yield plan is necessary.

5. Open Space Plan:
An opens space plan was deemed unnecessary. Approximately 11.02 of the 13.16 acres of land
will remain as open space. The remaining 2.136 acres is to be used as "usable" space that was
developed in accordance with Section 3-201.C, Article III of the Garfield County Unified Land Use
Resolution of 2008.
6. Open Space Management Plan:
Open space on the property shall be maintained by the property owner of each parcel.
7. Landscape Plan:
No common ownership areas are proposed with this subdivision; therefore a landscape plan for
common ownership areas is not applicable.
8. Impact Analysis:
In accordance with Section 4-502.E, Article IV of the Garfield County Unified Land Use
Resolution of 2008, an Impact Analysis has been completed and is enclosed as Item 5.
9. Land Suitability Analysis:
In accordance with Section 4-502.D, Article IV of the Garfield County Unified Land Use
Resolution of 2008, a Land Suitability Analysis has been completed and is enclosed as Item 4.
10. Lighting Plan:
No common open space is proposed with this subdivision; therefore a lighting plan for such
areas is not needed.
11. Visual Analysis:
In accordance with Section 5-502.G, Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution
of 2008, a Visual Analysis has been completed and is enclosed as Item 6. No proposed
development is anticipated at this time and therefore a good illustration of such was not
possible. The Visual analysis illustrates existing conditions of the property and gives insight to
the impacts and mitigations for any future building on the property.
12. Preliminary Report and Plans:
a. No streets, trails, walkways and bikeways are proposed with this plan. Red Barn Lane
has already been constructed and conforms to current Garfield County Standards, which
provides access to both Lot 1 and Lot 2.
b. The property has already been developed and no additional engineering design and
construction features for any structures to be constructed are necessary for compliance
to County Standards. A copy of a Garfield County special use permit that was applied for

when construction of the bridge across Four -Mile Creek was built has been enclosed
with Item 3.
c. Geologic hazards have been addressed in the Impact Analysis, enclosed as Item 4. A
steep hillside on the west side of Four -Mile Creek creates a potential rock fall hazard.
Although no future building is anticipated within this hazard area an engineered rock
barrier may be the best means to mitigate this hazard.
d. Two septic systems have already been established and approved by Garfield County;
therefore a plan of this system is not needed. Future building on Lot 2 may require
connection to the current system but shall be designed for at the time of development.
e. In accordance with section 4-502.C.4 Article IV of the Garfield County Unified Land Use
Resolution of 2008, an Erosion & Sediment Control Plan has been enclosed as Item 3.
Erosion & sediment control will primarily be needed when future building on Lot 2 is
developed. No erosion & sediment control measures shall be needed at this time.
f. A copy of the current well permit has been enclosed in Exhibit C. Connection to this well
has already been established for both Parcels, therefore no water supply plan is needed.
g. Current ISDS systems are in place for both parcels. A copy of the ISDS permits have been
included in Exhibit C. Future building on Lot 2 may require a new ISDS system and shall
be designed and applied for at the time of development.
13. Improvements Agreement, Covenants And restrictions & By -Laws:
Because all public improvements for this subdivision have already been constructed, no
improvements agreement is required. No owners association or covenants are planned. A copy
of a Well Sharing Agreement and a Road Sharing Agreements are attached in Exhibit E.

BUILDING & PLANNING DEPARTMENT
RE: CPPF 6257 — Combined Preliminary Plan and Final Plat, Seaton Subdivsion
Dear Mr. Walter:
I am writing this letter regarding the application for a Combined Preliminary Plan and.
Final Plat for the proposed Seaton Subdivision. I've reviewed the submittal documents,
received on January 14, 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 Department 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
• The Authorization Letter needs the signature of Mrs. Seaton.
• There is no narrative discussion in the application requesting approval for
Accessory Dwelling Units yet comments in your discussion about adequate water
imply there will be 4 residential units on the two lots.
• There seems to be some conflict between the Parcels A and B and your labeled
Tract A. I'm not sure how Tract A fits into the plat. Is it proposed for dedication,
open space, or some other use?
• The legal descriptions in the title commitment don't seem to include Tract A.
Your narrative should explain the parcel history for the separate lots, the
combining of the two lots, the past boundary line adjustment, and where Tract A
comes from and who owns it.
• I disagree with your discussion in the application concerning open space, that an
"Open Space Plan" is unnecessary unless you address the intended use of Tract A.
108 Eighth Street, Suite 401 • Glenwood Springs, CO 81601
(970) 945-8212 • (970) 285-7972 • Fax: (970) 384-3470
• Your title commitment describes Parcels A and B but I'm not sure that the title
commitment includes Tract A. Ownership of the entire 13.22 acre sites needs to
be confirmed since your title commitment doesn't reference the entire 13.22 acre
site.
• The legal description used on the authorization letter does not match the property
boundaries on the plat.
• In your application you imply that an analysis of stormwater detention is not
required (Section 7-207). A stormwater detention plan and calculation for Parcels
A and B (plus Tract A) include the correct sizing for all runoff from impervious
areas is required.
• You have not submitted a Land Suitability Analysis which is a required submittal
document.
• Landscape and Lighting Plans are required if you propose any common
ownership areas (not sure about "Tract A").
• Your narrative has not responded to the requirements of Article 7, Division 2,
General Resource Protection Standards for Land Use Change Permits.
Adjacent Ownership
• Your parcel map has two parcels labeled with the 001 suffix and only one
address. Please correct the missing parcel ownership.
• There are missing ownerships for adjacent parcels (BLM possibly for one) and
two parcels with the suffix 032 and 035.
• You have not provided a list of mineral owners on your parcel ownership. There
appears to be numerous mineral owners in from the chain of title/deeds.
Preliminary Pian (See Section 5-502 (C) (4)) The following data is missing from the
Preliminary Plan.
• The legal description is missing.
• Site data in chart form presenting:
o Total area of the proposed subdivision; total area of the developed
buildings, driveways and parking areas; total area of non-residential floor
space.
o Total number of proposed lots; breakdown of the lot total by number of
lots per use (i.e. residential use, business or commercial and industrial use,
and other public and non-public uses).
o Total number of proposed off-street parking spaces.
o Total number of dwelling units; total number of dwelling units per
structure proposed.
o Total gross density proposed.
• Boundary lines, comer pins, and dimensions of the subject property, including
land survey data to identify the parcel with section comers, distance and bearing
to corners, quarter corners, township and range.
• Topography at the following minimum contour intervals.
o Subdivision with all lots two (2) acres or greater in size, topography
shown at five (5) foot contour intervals.
o Areas having slopes 30% or more, or other significant topographic
conditions, topography shown at 5 -foot contour intervals.
• Location and layout of lots and blocks, with lots and blocks numbered
consecutively, and the dimensions and acreage of each lot.
• Existing land uses and zoning on adjoining properties.
• Location and dimension of land to be held in common, open space devoted to
community use, and land to be dedicated to County.
• Supplemental Information: The Preliminary Plan Map shall be accompanied by
the following information.
o A list from the County Assessor's office of current property owners of
record and their complete mailing address for property within two hundred
(200) feet of the boundaries of the proposed subdivision.
o A list of the owners of subsurface mineral interests and their lessees, if
any, on the proposed site and their complete mailing addresses.
• I'm not sure where all of the plat notes came from. They don't seem to have any
relationship to the current proposal. Typical plat notes are;
o CONTROL OF NOXIOUS WEEDS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PROPERTY
OWNER.
o NO OPEN HEARTH SOLID -FUEL FIREPLACES WILL BE ALLOWED
ANYWHERE WITHIN AN EXEMPTION. ONE (1) NEW SOLID -FUEL BURNING
STOVE AS DEFINED BY C.R.S. 25-7-401, ET. SEQ., AND THE REGULATIONS
PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, WILL BE ALLOWED IN ANY DWELLING
UNIT. ALL DWELLING UNITS WILL BE ALLOWED AN UNRESTRICTED
NUMBER OF NATURAL GAS BURNING STOVES AND APPLIANCES.
o ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING SHALL BE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT NECESSARY
AND THAT ALL EXTERIOR LIGHTING BE DIRECTED INWARD AND
DOWNWARD, TOWARDS TIE INTERIOR OF THE SUBDIVISION, EXCEPT
THAT PROVISIONS MAY BE MADE TO ALLOW FOR SAFETY LIGHTING THAT
GOES BEYOND THE PROPERTY BOUNDARIES.

• Identification of lots with slope in excess of thirty (30) percent and any other lots
where special studies are required prior to obtaining a development permit.
• Delineation of all known, identified or designated one hundred (100) year
floodplains and localized areas subject to periodic inundation along the required
stream setback lines, if any.
• Design and layout of all water and sewer service lines, treatment facilities and
other elements of the sanitary sewer system.
• All lands within the boundary of the subdivision shall be accounted for as a lot,
tract, parcel, open space, street, right-of-way, alley and so forth, and all areas of
such lands shall be shown on the plat to the nearest one hundredth of an acre.
• All plat notes required under Preliminary Plan approval.
• The Final Plat shall include executed certificates, notices, and statements in the
standard format required by the County, including the following certifications.
o Certificate for acceptance by Board of County Commissioners.
o Certification by County Surveyor and Surveyor.
o Owners and Mortgagee certification.
o Certificate for County Clerk and Recorder.
o Certificate for the Garfield County Treasurer.
Additional Final Plat Comments
• Your signature certificates are outdated and incorrect. You've added certificates
intended for the City of Glenwood Springs. The ULUR (Section 5-502 (C) (5)
has a list of required certificates plus add in the County Treasurer. 1 will email
you the current certificate language in MS word format;
o The Board of County Commissioners
o The County Surveyor and your Surveyor
o Owners and Mortgagee Certificates
o Certificate for the County Clerk and Recorder
o The Garfield County Treasurer
• I'm not sure where the site construction notes and future development disclosures
come from.
• I've noted my concerns about Tract A in other comments. This Tract is still a
"lot" and this application would be a three lot subdivision. Will there be an HOA
to maintain this lot? The issues surrounding this third lot need to be resolved.
• The ULUR requires a numerical designation for each lot not a letter designation.
Please change your lot labeling to Lot 1 and Lot 2.
• A plat note is required that "... no land disturbances are allowed within 35 feet of
the Four Mile Creek (add name) except those permitted under Section 7-203 (A)
(2) of the ULUR.
• I have some general final plat notes and comments;
o There is a discrepancy between the distance in the second paragraph of the
Certification of Dedication and Ownership of the final plat and the
distance noted on the final plat (412.99 feet vs. 398.34 feet)
o Length and radius are missing on the CR 149 right of way
o The distance measurement is missing on the curve of the entry drive
o Revise setbacks from Four Mile Creek and add plat notes
o I've noted many questions about Tract A shown on the plat
o Does the area of Parcel B include Tract A
o There is a bearing missing on a common Parcel AIB boundary line
Additional Comments
• Your application provides evidence that you have a legal right to the necessary
water to serve the subdivision but the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008
requires a 24 hour pump test to prove the physical capacity to provide water.
Your test should relate the need for two (or four if ADUs are contemplated) single
family homes both in quantity and quality. Any approval of the preliminary and
final plat will be conditioned for adequate testing.
• A revised/new well permit will be required as a condition of approval and should
be consistent with your West Divide contract. If your application(s) for well
permits and water contracts are for up to four units why doesn't your Subdivision
application include that request?
• You have provided calculations for Road Impact fees that do not apply to the
existing homes. However, if you are proposing Accessory Dwelling Units for
each lot then a Road Impact Fee would be assessed. The cost/adt you quote is
incorrect. The fee is the cumulative total of Study Area(s) 8a through 8d for a
total of $264.
• One of the ISDS permits is for a 1 bedroom home. Has this ISDS been sized for a
Larger residence? The application documents imply a larger home will be
constructed on this future parcel.
• There is no discussion in your application concerning the inconsistency between
the requested subdivision and the Comprehensive Plan residential density
designation for this area as 1 residential unit/10 acres.

Enclosed with this letter are copies of the Easement Warranty Deed, Road Sharing and
Easement Agreement, Well Sharing and Easement Agreement, and Final Plat, all executed by Don
and Nannette Seaton. The plat has also been signed by the Seatons' surveyor and the title company.
Several signatures are needed by various Garfield County officers. The Warranty Deed needs to be
executed by the BOCC Chairman. The Final Plat needs to be executed by: (1) the County
Surveyor; (2) the BOCC Chairman; (3) the County Treasurer; and (4) the County Clerk and
Recorder. Please obtain the necessary signatures by County personnel on these documents.
Lastly, we need to coordinate the recordation of these documents. If the County wants to
record the documents, we can provide you with an order of recordation and reimburse the County
for the costs. Alternatively, if the County would rather have my office to record the documents,
please provide us with a preferred order of recordation and we will record the documents. Please
advise how the County would like to proceed.
Thank you for your assistance on this matter and feel free to contact me with any questions
you may have.

BUILDING PLANNING
In accordance with Sections 5-501 E & G Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of
2008, the followings materials are to be submitted review. The owner or the property (Don & Nanette
Seaton) desire to take advantage of the provisions of Section 5-303 and have the preliminary plan and
final plat review combined. Combining preliminary plan and final plat review is appropriate here
because these will be fewer than seven (7) lots and no additional site improvements are necessary to
facilitate the subdivision.
Preliminary Plan Review Process:
1. Application Forms & Fees:
A check in the amount of $675 has been enclosed for the Garfield County application review fee.
The Preliminary Plan Subdivision Application has been signed and is enclosed. A check in the
amount of $600 has been enclosed for a referral agency fee made out to the Colorado
Geological Society. A submittal form for land use review provided by the Colorado Geological
Society has been filled out and is enclosed.
2. Vicinity Map:
Two vicinity maps can be found under Exhibit A; one is at 1"=4000' scale and the other is of a
USGS Quadrangle at a 1"=2000' scale.
3. Preliminary Plan Map:
A half size Plan Map and half size Plat Map can be found in Exhibit A that was developed in
accordance with Section 5-502.C.4, Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution
of 2008.
4. Yield Plan:
The proposed subdivision is not being applied for as a conservation subdivision therefore no
yield plan is necessary.
