LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Lot 2, Turk Subdivision, located in the northwest one quarter of Section 25, Township 5 South,
Range 91 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Garfield County, Colorado according to the final
plat thereof filed for record on January 29, 1982 in the Office of the Garfield County Clerk and
Recorder at Reception Number 324220.
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The Bond Subdivision is proposed as a two lot subdivision of a parcel platted in 1982 as Lot 2,
Turk Subdivision. The Turk Subdivision is located on the east side of Garfield County Road No.
245 immediately south of its intersection with East Elk Creek Road. It was originally platted as two
lots, Lot 1 having 4.36 acres and Lot 2 having 4.00 acres. It is bordered on the east side by Elk
Creek Subdivision, a subdivision where most lots are 6600 square feet. Immediately south of Elk
Creek Subdivision and east of this property are several lots of approximately two acres. Since this
property was originally platted in 1982, the area north of New Castle has been in-filled with a
number of subdivisions including Castle Valley Ranch and Elk Run, all having relatively small lots.
Two acre lots in this area are now quite consistent with the surrounding development.
Lot 2 is the southerly of the two lots in the Turk Subdivision. It is bordered on the west by County
Road No. 245 and on the south by an access drive which serves Elk Creek Subdivision. Lot 1,
Turk Subdivision borders it on the North and Elk Creek Subdivision borders it on the east. The
property slopes from the northeast comer towards the southwest comer at grades of
approximately 10 percent. The northwestern portion of the site is dominated by a hillside which
slopes towards the building sites at grades of 20 to 25 percent. On the west side, the hillside
slopes towards the County road at grades of 45 to 50 percent An existing home is located on the
eastern portion of the property. A barn and horse pasture take up the eastern one-fifth of the site.
The proposed building site on the western lot would be behind the existing house at the base of the
hillside.
.~--
ACCESS
ACCESS
Access to this site is via Garfield County Road No. 245, a two lane, paved road which extends
North from New Castle. An existing gravel road intersects the county road at the southwest corner
of this tract and continues along the southerly boundary to serve the Elk Creek Subdivision. A
thirty foot road easement has been reserved inside the southerly boundary of this tract The
physical position of the road is actually south of its easement and bordering the southern property
boundary. A thirty foot access easement extends northerly across this tract to provide access to
Lot 1, Turk Subdivision. The gravel road within this easement is maintained by the homeowners
within the Turk Subdivision. It is this access easement which will provide direct access to both lots
in the Bond Subdivision. The existing house has a circular drive in place. The new building site
will be served by an extension of an existing gravel drive which lies south of the existing home .
. -.:--
UTIUTIES
UTILITIES
WATER -Water service for the Bond Subdivision will be provided by the Town of New CasUe. An
existing one and one-half inch water line has previously been extended to the site. The existing
house is fed by a three quarter inch line. An additional three quarter inch line will be extended to
the new building site.
SANITARY SEWER -Sewage disposal for the existing house is through the use of an existing
septic tank and leach field. The second lot will be served by an additional individual sewage
disposal system. Percolation testing will be done at the time of the preliminary plan to determine
whether a standard leach field and septic tank system is appropriate for the new site. If not, an
engineered system will be designed.
ELECTRIC -Public Service Company of Colorado is the electric power provider for this area. An
existing overhead power line extends along the easterly property line. Power has been extended
overhead from this line to serve the existing house. An extension of this line will be made to the
new building site. In addition to the easterly line, two additional power-line easements extend
across the site in a north-south direction. Since the Turk subdivision was platted in 1982, Public
Service Company has rerouted and abandoned some of their power lines in this area, and portions
of these easements are no longer being used. We will work with Public Service Company to
vacate or abandon, as appropriate, easements which are not longer being used.
TELEPHONE -U.S. West is the telephone service provider in this area. Telephone service to the
existing home is already in place. A telephone pedestal is located near the driveway entrance on
the southern boundary of this property. Service to the new building site will most likely be
extended from that existing pedestal. . :--
GAS -There is curren~y no gas service in this immediate area. Based on previous discussions
between the owner and Public Service Company, he has determined that is not economically
feasible to extend gas service for the two lots in this subdivision at this time.
CABLE TELEVISION -Cable television service in this area is provided by TCI. An existing
overhead cable is located on the power poles along the eastern property boundary. Cable service
has already been extended to the existing home. This service will be extended to the new building
site as well.

SOILS
i '
SOILS
Two types of soil are located on the Bond property according to maps prepared by the Soil
Conservation Service. The first is the Potts-Ildefonso complex. These soils are generally on
mesas, alluvial fans and the sides of valleys. The Potts soil formed in alluvium derived from
sandstone, shale or basalt. The Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic alluvium
and small amounts of eolian material. The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of this unit and
the Ildefonso soil makes up about 30 percent.
The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches
thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about two feet thick. The substratum is pinkish white
loam to a depth of 60 inches. It has moderate permeability and high available water capacity. The
Ildefonso soil is also deep and well drained. It typically has a stony brown loam surface layer 8
inches thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very stony loam to a depth of 60 inches.
This soil has a moderately rapid permeability rating, and low available water capacity. The surface
runoff is medium and erosion hazard is moderate. The native vegetation in these two types of soil
is grasses, sagebrush, pinyon and Utah juniper. This type of vegetation traditionally provides
habitat for deer, wild turkeys, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail rabbits and pheasants.
The second type of soil on the site is Torriorthents-rock outcrop complex. This soil type makes up
the hillside located on the northwesterly portion of the site. This unit consists of exposed
sandstone and shale bedrock and stony soils that are shallow to moderately deep over sandstone
and shale and stony basaltic alluvium. Slopes range from 15 to 70 percent. T orriorthents make up
·-·-·
about 60 percent of this complex and Rock outcrop makes up 25 percent. The Torriorthents are
on foothills and mountainsides below the Rock outcrop. Torriorthents are generally clayey to
loamy and contain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles and stones. The surface is covered with
stones weathered from the higher lying Rock outcrop. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde
sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basaltic boulders and stones. Some
areas of limestone outcrops and exposed gypsum may be found. This soil type is generally
unsuited for crops because of the steep slope and surface stones. Native vegetation includes
grasses, sagebrush, mountainmahogany and pinyon and juniper. This vegetation provides habitat
for deer, rabbits, coyotes and some elk.
RADIATION HAZARD
RADIATION HAZARD
The area surrounding this proposed subdivision has been developed over approximately the last
two decades. Fairly high density residential development has occurred in the area north of New
CasUe and east of County Road No. 245. A radiation hazard in this area has not be identified.
IMPACTS
IMPACTS
This subdivision is envisioned as a very low impact subdivision. Adequate roads are already in
place, and the addition of one additional dwelling unit will have minimal impact on the traffic in this
area. Utilities to serve the proposed lot have already been extended to the subdivision. Service
lines to serve the additional building site can be easily extended. Because of the nature of the new
building site, grading for the new site will be minimal. The owner has the ability, through the
accessory dwelling provisions, to build a second home on this site. Subdivision of the site into two
lots will merely split the ownership of the tract between two separate owners, it will not create any
additional building sites over what is already allowed by regulation. For all of these reasons, we
believe this subdivision will have minimal impact.

SS-Potts-Ildefonso complex, 1" ·o 25 percent
slopes. These strongly sloping to ; soils are on
mesas, alluvial fans, and sides of valleys. Elevation
ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in
alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The
Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic
alluvium and. small amounts of eolian material. The aver-
age annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average
annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the
average frost-free period is about 120 days.
The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of this unit,
and the Ildefonso soil makes up about 30 percent. The
Potts soil is in slightly concave positions, and the Ilde-
fonso soil is on the breaks of steeper slopes.
The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the
surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The
subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick.
The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60
inches.
Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the ero-
sion hazard is moderate.
The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches
thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very
stony loam to a depth of 60 Inches.
Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid,
and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting
depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and
the erosion hazard is moderate.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Morva! and Lazear soils. The Morval soils are at the
higher elevations. The Lazear soils are shallow and are
on ridge crests and steep mountainsides. These areas
make up 1 O to 18 percent of the map unit.
These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and
wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly
wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The
native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon
and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass.
wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa-
gebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing grazing maintains and improves range con-
dition on both soils. Seeding improves range in poor
condition in less sloping areas of the Potts soil. Blue-
bunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and need-
leandthread are suitable for seeding. Preparing the
seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Con-
trolling brush on the Potts soil improves range that is
producing more shrubs than are normally found in the
potential plant community. Properly managing the under-
story vegetation on the lfdefonso soil maintains wood
production and grazing. Selectively thinning pinyon and
juniper improves grazing and provides firewood, posts,
and Christmas trees.
The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and
Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre
when trees more than. 4.5 feet tall reach an average
diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available
water capacity affects su..Vival of tree seedlings.
Mule deer, wilt. .... rkey, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail
rabbit, and some pheasant find habitat on these soils.
The steep slopes limit community development. Struc-
tures are needed to divert runoff to minimize gullying and
erosion.
This complex is in capab:i\tv subclass Vie, nonirrigated.
67-Torrtorthenta·Ruck ou~p eomplex, steep.
This broadly defined unit co:•SiSis of exposed sandstone
and shale bedrock and stony soils that are shallow to
moderately deep over sandstone and shale and stony
basaltic alluvium. Areas of this complex occur throughout
the survey area. The soils and outcrops are moderately
steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent.
Torriorthents make up about 60 percent of this com-
plex, and Rock outcrop makes up 25 percent. The Tor-
riorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below the
Rock outcrop.
Torriorthents are generally clayey to loamy and con-
tain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones.
The surface is normally covered with stones weathered
from the higher-lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colora-
do River, stones and cobbles of basalt are on the s ...
face.
The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone
and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal-
tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out-
crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the
survey area.
Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Ilde-
fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Gaynor, Tridell, and Nihlll soils.
These intermittent areas make up 1 O to 15 percent of
this map unit
This complex is used for limited grazing, wildlife habi-
tat, and recreation.
BJ1Cause of the stones on the sw'face, the Rock out-
crop, and the steep slope, this complex is unsuited to
crops.
The native vegetation includes wheatgrass, bluegrass,
Indian ricegrass, needlegrass, bitterbrush, sagebrush,
mountainmahogany and an overstory of pinyon and juni-
per.
The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood
production and limited grazing. Selectively thinning the
pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides fire-
wood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe ero-
sion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting
and management.
Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for
deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and
cover on this complex.
Community development is limited by the Rock out-
crop, steep slopes, and stoniness. These limitations can
be overcome by appropriate design and construction.
This complex is in capability subclass VIie, nonirrigat-
ed.

Date: Feb. 22, 2001
To: Board of County Commissioners
From: Road and Bridge Department
Subject: County Road 245 Easement abandonment
Sirs,
After reviewing the map and the property site, it is my recommendation to
abandon the R.O.W. easement that is adjacent to C.R. 245, near the Bond subdivision.
This land does not serve any purpose to the county road system and is encumbered with
an irrigation ditch. I do not anticipate the abandonment to affect any future widening of
this road because the ditch and topography cannot be altered.
Respectfully Submitted,

Subject RMUbclvision of your property
Dear Daryl:
I went to the County Planning Depa1ment to gather information on your property, and I wanted to let you
know what I found out. I have included a copy of the documents from their files for your information.
Based on the minutes from the meeting in which the final plat was approved, and the Preliminay Plan
Resolulion; t 1hfnfc;-the intent is dear. The-twenty-foot strip atong the western side was intended to be
dedicated to the County for their road right of way. I asked an attorney that I work with for his
interpretation since the plat is undear. His feels that the representations made in the dbcumen1s would
govern, and that the s1rip of land would be considered County right of way and not part of your property.
rf you accept that to be the case, it means that you dO not have enoogh acreage to split your property into
two two-acre lots as we have discussed. You have three choices as to how to proceed if you still want to
subdivide your property.
1) Make an a~nt with your neighbor on the north to acquire enough property so that you have a
fHlf fi>ur acres. This woutd take a strip approximatery fifteen feet wide along your northern boundary.
Any other property fine adjustment, which gives you enough property, would also work.
2) Rezone your property to Residential/Limlted'Suburban density, the next available categcry. This
zoning requires a minimum 20,000-acre lot so you would eas~y have enough property for two lots
under this zoning. This would require that you stat again with the sketch plan phase, and go back to
the Planning Commission with a zone change request. -
3) Rezone your property to Planned Uilit Deveropment The P.U.D. process allOws you to submit a
Preliminary Plan and zone change application at the same time, so you would not have to go bed< to
the Sketch Plan stage. The P.U.D. regulations require you tO dedicate 25% of the property as Open
Space. A portion but not a11 ·of this can be the steep area along the West Side. The existing horse
pasture area could meet this requirement if you like.
I have included a copy of the regulations for the last two options for your review. Both of these scenarios
would require about the same amount of work on our part so our cost would be about the same as I
have previously quoted to you.
Mer you have reviewed this information, give me a call and we can go over it in more detail if you like.
Call me if you have any questions.

The meeting was called to order at 7:04 P.M. by Arnold Mackley.
FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA: E~::~;;!~;;:~;n: ~;;.~: ~i!D
Davis reviewed the request for two single family lots of 4.36 acres and 4.00 acres
on 8.36 acre located approximately 1.25 miles north of New Castle on County Road 245.
He said that a pump test had been completed, as well as a water quality test on the well;
easements had· been located on the final plat; and a 40' right-of-way has been dedicated
along County Road 245; and a fee will be paid for the school assessment. In conclusion,
all conditions of the preliminary plat have been met. One item that will go into the
convenants will be that a reverse osmosis system will go into place to remove the selenium
from the water to bring it into compliance with the State Health Department.
Davis asked Earl if it would be appropriate to have the chairman sign the final plat
without the County Surveyor's signature.
Earl said that he saw no problem with that.
Davis stated that the staff recommendation for the Turk Subdivision is for approval with
no conditions, those being met at preliminary plat.
Dale Albertson moved to recommend approval of the Turk Subdivision with no conditions.
Barbara Lorah seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
Dale Albertson moved to have the chairman sign the final plat.
Barbara Lorah seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
Allan Bowles was appointed to vote.
SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA: Cottonwood Industrial Park P.U.D.-Sketch Plan.
Arnold appointed Dale Albertson chairman of the meeting for this item on the agenda,
due to a possible conflict of interest. He also indicated that he would not participate
in discussion or vote on the proposal.
Davis reviewed the P.U.D. stating that the main difference from when the Planning ·
Commission saw this plan before is that the expansion of the existing mobile home park
has been eliminated. The whole project is now a P.U.D. The new proposal is for 22
industrial/wholesale commercial lots on 33.18 acres located approximately 2~ miles
east of Rifle on Highway 6 & 24. The water is to come from the existing water system
in Cottonwood Park and sewer will be served by the lagoon system in Cottonwood Park.
John Schenk, proponent of this P.U.D., stated his reasons for eliminating the mobile
home park expansion. After considering what the meetings with Davis and Lee produced,
he felt that the staff was saying that the property was better suited for the uses already
out there, mainly industrial-type businesses and not residential. The uses Cottonwood
is proposing are mainly the same as Eastview P.U.D. Cottonwood does have an agreement
with Eastview, though not a formal one at this time, that they will serve Eastview sewage
from their lagoon system. 10% of the Cottonwood P.U.D. is open space. The existing
ditch will be relocated through the open space. ·
John went on to say that a car dealership is desired as one of the uses on the front
part of the parcel. He sees that use becoming a transportation center with warehousing
of vehicles, a depot, storage, motor vehicle repair, etc, as well as vehicle sales.
DaVis then reviewed this parcel and development in comparison to the comprehensive
plan. He read the concerns of the planning staff. There is a .36 acre tract of land
that cannot be considered in the P.U.D. because the title is in question. Davis asked
Earl if it was possible to avoid creating a separate parcel by leaving out the .36 acre
tract.
Earl felt it was out of the Commission's hands since the proponents do not own the
.36 acre tract. No consideration can be given to it, nor could it be added to the P.U.D
later. The P.U.D. process would have to be initiated again for the small piece of property
in question.

RE: Turk Subdivision Final Plat Submittal
Dear Mr. Farrar:
Please find enclosed one original and three copies of the final
plat for the Turk Subdivision along with the $58.00 filing fee.
We believe the following conditions placed on the Preliminary
Plat approval have been met:
1. A pump test and water quality analysis has been
performed on the well for Lot 2. (See enclosed
copies)
2. Easements for power lines are on the final plat.
3. A forty foot ROW from the centerline of County
Road 245 has been provided.
4. $200.00 will be given to the school district
prior to the issuance of the resolution on
the final plat.
Please note that all the supplemental information furnished with
the Preliminary Plat is valid for the Final Plat. The subdividers
agreement and protective covenants are being prepared at this
time and will be submitted when complete. The only improvement
to be installed by the developer is the fire cistern which we
estimate will cost approximately $1,000.
If you require additional information to complete this submittal,
please contact me.

Turk Subdivision
Water, Sewer~ and Drainage
The proposed Turk Subdivision is located east of County Road 245, approximately
1. 5 miles north of New Castle in S 25, T 5 S, R 91 W. John and Joey Turk, the
developers, proposed the division of 8.36 acres into two lots of 4 and 4.36
acres. The 4.36 acre parcel would contain the Turk's existing residence.
Water Supuly
Lot 1 contains the Turk's existing residence. This residence is supplied
water from a tap off of the Elk Creek Subdivision water system which was
granted to the 8.36 parcel when it was originally rented by exemption.
Lot 2 will be served by an individual well for which a well permit has been
obtained (See enclosed Copy of Permit #118974).
The "Garfield Cou.nty Groundwater Resources" study shows the area of the
proposed development to have mancos shale as its surface geologic formation.
· The report states that drillers have reported yields as high as 25gpm
or more in this formation, but adds that in many cases these relatively high
yields are the result of dewatering sand lenses which do not have sufficient
recharge to maintain the reported yields on a long term basis. Thus the
success of drilling a well on Lot 2 will be somewhat dependent upon how highly
the shale is fractured and how good the recharge is in the area.
The closest well to the proposed development lies approxi~ately 300 yards
southeast of Lot 2 and serves 35 residences in the Elk Creek Subdivision.
According to T. Carter Page, the Elk Creek Subdivision water system operator,
the well is approximately 80 feet deep with a static water level at 48 feet.
Mr. Page reports that to his knowledge an official well test has never been
performed on the well, but noted that during tne time he has operated the
system, there was one occasion where the water tank level controls mal-
functioned and the well was pumped continuously for a week at about 45gpm
without completely drawing down the well.
In terms of water quality, water from Mancos shale aquifers is typically high
in total dissolved solids and can often contain hydrogen sulfide. Although
requirements are not set forth for either of these constituents in Colorado's
Primary Drinking ~ater Regulations, high dissolved solids can effect
palatability and have a laxative effect on some individuals. Hydrogen
sulfide imparts a "rotten egg" odor. The substandard water quality that is
normally associated with maricos shale can be improved with the addition of
residential type water treatment and conditioning equipment so that the
1
water is acceptable for in-house use. Mr. Page states that a recent chemical
analysis on water from the Elk Creek Subdivision well showed no voilations of
mandatory parameters set forth in the Primary Drinking Water Regulations. He
added that the water has no taste or odor but was quite hard(27 grains/gallon=
450mg/l.)
Sewage Disposal
Both lots will be served by individual sewage disposal systems. The permit
for the existing system serving the Turk's residence in Lot 1 reports a
percolation rate of 20 minutes per inch. This rate is in the acceptable
range of 5-60 minutes per inch required by Garfield County's Individual
Sewage Disposal System Regulations.
Lot 2 contains similar soils to Lot 1. Thus, it is anticipated that sireilar
percolation rates would occur in Lot 2 and a standard septic tank -
leachfield could be utilized.
Drainage
No major drainages cross the proposed development. A rid,ge to the northeast
rises over a thousand feet above the two proposed lots. Several small
drainages descend from this ridge, but none of them enter the proposed lots.
They either drain to the north or to the south through Elk Creek Subdivision.
It should be noted that no major_ provisions for handling drainage s.eem to
exist in-the Elk Creek development. Thus it is felt that a major storm could
result in sheet flow across portions of Elk Creek Subdivision which could
enter the proposed development, particularly Lot 2. Thus it is recommended
that the new residence in Lot 2 not be built directly over any of the small
drainages where sheet flows could concentrate. In addition, final grading
·around the residence should be performed to direct sheet flows around the
building.
Respectfully Submitted,

Dear Mr. Turk:
Personnel of Lincoln-Devore have completed a visual reconnaisance
of the above referenced site located in the Northeast~' Northwest
~ of Section 25, Township 5 South, Range 91 West, of the 6th
Principal Meridian, Garfield County, Colorado.
The site contains approximately 8 acres, with two 4-acre lots,
one of which has an existing residence on it. 'J 1he other·. lot
lies to the South of the ~xisting house and is roughly bounded
by the Elk Creek Subdivision on the East and County Road 245
on the West.
...
Geologically, the site lies on the southern flank of a steeply
dipping hogback associated with the White River Uplift. Drainage
is westerly toward East Elk Creek with low to moderate slopes.
The site is completely covered with colluvial slopewash deposits
derived from the Dakota Sandstone, which outcrops just North of
the site and the Mancos Formation, wlUch underlies the entire
site but does not outcrop it. Dipping beds measured along the
road cut northwest of the site vary from 65° to 70° southerly.
No slope stability provlems were observed, no landslides,
rockfalls~ or mudflows were noted. Some minor debris flow activity
may come off the hogback to the North, however, no recent evidence
of flows were found.
Soils encountered on the site will consist of lean sandy clays
an~ possibly, Mancos Shale bedrock. Swell potential for these
soils will be low to moderate, however, highly expansive beds
of bentonitc have been found in the Mancos Formation.

The site is situated well above the East Elk Creek drainage
and no flooding hazard exists.
No economic resource or radiation hazard was found on this
