Parrington LOCATION: T. 6 S., R. 92 W., 6th P.M.: Sec. 6: Portion of Lots 5 & 6 STREET ADDRESS: 0145 CR 225, Rifle, CO 81650 Aq� Pursuant to C.R.S. (1973) Section 30 -28 -101(10)(a) -(d) as amended, and the Subdivision Regulations of Garfield County, Colorado, adopted April 23, 1984, the undersigned respectfully petitions the Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County, Colorado, to exempt by Resolution the division of a 41.910 acre tract of land into two tracts of approximately 10 acres and one tract of approximately 20 acres more or less, from the definitions of "subdivision" and "subdivided land" as the terms are used and defined in C.R.S. (1973) Section 30 -28- 101(10)(a) -(d) and the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations for the reasons stated below: SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS: An application, which satisfies the review criteria, must be submitted with the following information: A. Sketch map at a minimum scale of 1"=200' showing the legal description of the prop- erty, dimension and area of all lots or separate interests to be created, access to a public right- of-way, and any proposed easements for drainage, irrigation, access or utilities; Exhibit A: Sketch Plan of the Parrington Exemption #2, including a Boundary Line Adjustment of Exception Parcel B. Vicinity map at a minimum scale of 1" = 2000' showing the general topographic and geographic relation of the proposed exemption to the surrounding area within two (2) miles, for which a copy of U.S. G.S. quadrangle map may be used; Exhibit B: Excerpt from the "SILT" USGS Quad, showing the subject property and vicinity. C. Copy of the deed showing ownership by the applicant, or a letter from the property owner(s) if other than the applicant; and Exhibit C: Parrington Deed D. Names and addresses of owners of record of land immediately adjoining and within 200 feet of the proposed exemption, mineral owners and lessees of mineral owners of record of the property to be exempted, and tenants of any structure proposed for conversion; and F:\CLIENTS\Pamngton\SubExemptionlPSB35application rev 011123.doc Parrington Exemption Application 04/01/02; Page 2 of 6 Exhibit D: Names and addresses of owners of record of land adjoining and within 200 feet of proposed exemption AND Mineral Rights Owners and Lessees E. Evidence of soil types and characteristics of each type; and Exhibit E: Excerpts from USDA/SCS Soil Survey of Rifle Area showing subject property, soil types and characteristics. F. Proof of legal and adequate source of domestic water for each lot created, method of sewage disposal, and letter of approval of fire protection plan from appropriate fire district; and WATER SUPPLY: Exhibit F-1: Application and Permit for existing well on property showing that there is an existing well within 1/4 mile of the site producing at least five (5) gallons/minute. Water supply for the new lots will be from new, non- exempt, wells with a West Divide Water Allotment Contract. METHOD OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL: ISDS for each lot. FIRE PROTECTION PLAN: Exhibit F-2: Letter from Rifle Fire Protection District. G If eonnertion to a cnmmnnity_or municipal water ar sewer system is proposed, a letter from the gnverning body stating a willingness to serve; and H. Narrative explaining why exemption is being requested; and Exemption is requested to create two additional lots for our children. The Boundary Line Adjustment will increase the size of the existing exception parcel. We are requesting that the Plat Notes shown on the Plat of the Parrington Subdivision Exemption recorded December 7, 1995 as Reception No. 486143 be deemed not to apply to the parcel being added to the Exception Parcel. In conjunction with this subdivision exemption, we are proposing to convey 1.314 acres to Franklin D. Miller and Eugenia A. Miller via a Boundary Line Adjustment. The Miller parcel was created in 1894, originally for a school site. This adjustment will add to the size of the Miller parcel, but will not create an additional building site. Attached is a draft of the proposed Boundary Line Adjustment Affidavit. We are requesting that the standard Plat Notes not apply to the Parent • Parcel (Parcel No. 1C) Partington Exemption Application 03/28/02; Page 3 of 6 We are requesting that the Parent Parcel water well be exempted from the standard testing requirements. This well has long been the domestic water supply for the residence on the Parent Parcel and its reliability and quality have been long established. The expense of testing this well is not warranted. I. It shall be demonstrated that the parcel existed as described on January 1, 1973 or the parcel as it exists presently is one of not more than three parcels created from a larger parcel, as it existed on January 1, 1973. Attached is Exhibit I, a copy of the 1970 deed from Miles and Chamber to Melvin and Bernice Chambers showing the property as it existed as of 1/1/73. The only changes since then have been a clarification of the western boundary by a metes and bounds description and the exemption of Lot 2, Parrington Exemption of 1995. Therefore this property qualifies for two additional lot splits, making of total of four lots out of the property as described 1/1/73. J. A $300.00 fee must be submitted with the application.

The Board has determined that leases, ease- ments and other similar interests in Garfield County owned property, land for oil and gas facilities, and an accessory dwelling unit or two family dwelling that are subject to lease- hold interest only and complying with the requirements of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution, are exempt from these regulations. A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to qualify for exemp- tion, the parcel as it existed on January 1, 1973, must have been 35 acres or greater in size at the time and not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be di- vided by exemption that is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad), preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division oc- curs along the public right-of-way, such parcels thereby created may, at the discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tracts of land 35 acres or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by exemption since January 1, 1973. B. All Garfield County zoning requirements will be met; and C. All lots created will have legal access to a public right-of-way and any neces- sary access easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained; and D. Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of the legal and physical quality, quantity and dependability, and a suitable type of sewage disposal to serve each proposed lot. Proof of a legal supply shall be an approved substitute water supply plan contract_; augmentationplan; an approved well permit, le<,ally adjudicated domestic water source or a contract for a permanent legal su. .ly of domestic water to be hauled from an outside site for a cistern. 'roo of the physical supply from a well for the public meeting, may be documentation from the Division of Water Resources that dem- onstrates that there are wells within a'/4 mile of the site producing at least five (5) gal- lons/minute. Prior to the signing of a plat, all physical water supplies using a well shall demonstrate the following: 1.) That a four (4) hour pump test be performed on the well to be used; 2.) A well completion report demonstrating the depth of the well, the character- istics of the aquifer and the static water level; 3.) The results of the four (4) hour pump test indicating the pumping rate in gal- lons per minute and information showing draw down and recharge 4.) A written opinion of the person conducting the well test that this well should be adequate to supply water to the number of proposed lots; Parrington Exemption Application 03/23/02; Page 5 of6 5.) An assumption of an average or no less than 3.5 people per dwelling unit, using 100 gallons of water per person, per day; 6.) If the well is to be shared, a legal, well sharing agreement which discusses all easements and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the system and who will be responsible for paying these costs and how assess- ments will be made for these costs. 7.) The water quality is tested by an approved testing laboratory and meet State guidelines concerning bacteria and nitrates. For water supplies based on the use of cistern, the tank shall be a minimum of 1000 gallons. E. Method of sewage disposal, and a letter of approval of the fire protection plan from the appropriate fire district; and F. All State and local environmental health and safety requirements have been met or are in the process of being met; and G. Provision has been made for any required road or storm drainage improve- ments; and H. Fire protection has been approved by the appropriate fire district; and I. Any necessary drainage, irrigation or utility easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained; and J. School fees, taxes and special assessments have been paid. PROCEDURES A.

These areas make up about 5 to 10 percent of the map unit. Permeability is moderately slow, and available water capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly Gambel oak, serviceberry, elk sedge, and bromes. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and woody shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, Kentucky bluegrass, undesirable weeds, and annual plants are abundant. Properly managing grazing main- tains and improves range condition. Mule deer, elk, cottontail rabbit, wild turkey, and blue grouse find habitat on this soil. Community development and sanitary facilities are lim- ited by steep slopes and low strength. This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated. 2—Arle-Ansari-Rock outcrop complex, 12 to 65 percent slopes. This complex consists of strongly slop- ing to steep soils and Rock outcrop on mountainsides and sloping alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,500 to 7,500 feet. The soils formed in alluvium derived from red -bed shale and sandstone. The average annual pre- cipitation is about 16 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 42 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 100 days. The Arle soii makes up about 45 percent of the com- plex, the Ansari soil makes up about 35 percent, and Rock outcrop makes up about 20 percent. The Arie soil is moderately deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown very stony loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil and substratum are reddish brown very stony loam about 22 inches thick. Soft reddish brown sandstone and shale are at a depth of 32 inches. Permeability of the Arle soil is moderate, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 20 to 40 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is severe. The Ansari soil is shallow and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown loam about 10 inches thick. The substratum is reddish brown stony loam. Bed- rock is hard, reddish brown sandstone. Permeability of the Ansari soil is moderate, and availa- ble water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 10 to 20 inches. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. Rock outcrop is mainly red sandstone. This complex is used mainly for grazing and wildlife habitat. The native vegetation on the Arle soil is mainly wheat - grass, Indian ricegrass, mountainmahogany, and sage - SOIL SURVEY brush. The native vegetation on the Ansari soil is mainly Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condi- tion. Mule deer, rabbit, and grouse find habitat on these soils. Use of this complex for community development or as a source of construction material is limited mainly by depth to rock, steep slopes, thin layers of borrow materi- al, and large stones. Special design can overcome these limitations. Drainage and structures to control runoff from snowmelt reduce erosion around construction sites and roads. This complex is in capability subclass VI le, nonirrigat- ed. 3—Arvada loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces (fig. 4). Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This soil formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sand- stone and shale. The average annual precipitation is about 12 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is strongly alkaline or very strongly alkaline, pale brown loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum is light brown or brown silty clay loam to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Limon, Kim, Heldt, and Wann soils. Also included are some soils that are high in silt. Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Organic matter content of the surface layer is low. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat, limited grazing, and some irrigated farming. Irrigated crops produce very poorly because the soil takes water in very slowly and is droughty. Leaching is needed to remove excess salts if this soil is to be irrigat- ed. Soil amendments containing sulphur are helpful in leaching the salt. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly saitgrass, alkali sacaton, and greasewood. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. Property managing grazing maintains and im- proves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Western wheatgrass, alkali sacaton, and tall wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat- ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish- RIFLE AREA, COLORADO 11 1 ment. Reducing brush improves the range if the grass understory is adequate. Cottontail rabbit and pheasant find shelter on this soil if they can obtain food in surrounding areas. Use of this soil for sanitary facilities, for community development, and as a source of construction material is limited by the high shrink -swell potential, slow permeabil- ity, clayey textures, and salinity. This soil is in capability subclass VIIs, irrigated and nonirrigated. 4—Arvada loam, 6 to 20 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces. Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This soil formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sandstone and shale.

Typically, the surface layer is moderately alkaline, pale brown loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum is light brown or brown silty clay loam to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of "'non, Kim, and Heldt soils. Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Organic matter content of the surface layer is low. Sur- face runoff is moderately rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly sagebrush, greasewood, and wheatgrass. When range condition deteriorates, grasses decrease and weedy forbs, cheatgrass, big sagebrush, and greasewood increase. Properly managing grazing main- tains and improves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Western wheatgrass and tall wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat- ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish- ment. Brush should not be reduced because grass pro- duction is low and some desirable native shrubs could be destroyed. Cottontail and pheasants find shelter on this soil if they can obtain food in surrounding areas. Use of this soil for sanitary facilities and as a source of construction material is limited by the large amounts of clay and salts. This soil is corrosive to steel and con- crete. Community development is limited by high shrink - well potential, salinity, and steep slopes. This soil is in capability subclass Vlls, nonirrigated. 5—Ascalon fine sandy loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes.

This soil is used mainly for irrigated crops, hay, and pasture. Some areas are used for grazing and wildlife habitat. This soil is irrigated mainly by corrugations. Sprinklers are also suitable. This soil erodes easily. Such practices as minimum tillage, grassed waterways, and tail water control reduce the danger of excessive erosion. Drop structures in irrigation ditches control water and prevent excessive ditch erosion. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly need- leandthread, wheatgrasses, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condi- tion. Reducing brush also improves the range. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Pubescent wheat - grass, western wheatgrass, and big bluegrass are suit- able for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. This soil has potential as habitat for pheasant, cotton- tail rabbit, mourning dove, and squirrel. These animals mostly obtain food and shelter in areas of crops and hay. This soil has few limitations for community develop- ment. Low strength and frost action affect structures and roads. Community sewage systems will be needed if the population density increases. This soil is in capability subclasses IIle, irrigated, and IVe, nonirrigated. 6—Ascalon fine sandy loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, moderately sloping to rolling soil is on mesas, terraces, sides of valleys, and alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet.

This soil is used mainly for irrigated crops and hay and for dryland farming (fig. 10). Alfalfa, small grains, and grass -legume hay are grown. Small areas are used for grazing. These soils are usually irrigated by flooding. Drop structures in irrigation ditches, grassed waterways, and minimum tillage prevent serious erosion. Irrigation water should be carefully managed to avoid piping and erosion. jover crops or stubble mulching also help to limit ero- on in dryfarmed areas. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat - grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condi- tion. Reducing brush improves the range. Seeding im- proves range in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitabie for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Pheasant, mourning dove, cottontail rabbit, some mule deer, and squirrel find habitat on this soil. Community development and recreation are limited by low strength and the shrink -swell potential. Dwellings and roads can be designed to overcome these limita- tions. Community sewage systems will be needed if the population density increases.

PARR 1 NGTON '111)1V. EXPP[P'I•TOiNN 1970 T)F 11) HI XI I I It 1'1 I BOCC 6/17/02 MLB PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS REQUEST: Amendment to the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations to amend the Rural Lands Development Option, Sections 8:75, 8:81-82 APPLICANT: Western Colorado Agricultural Heritage Fund, Cassie Cerise, Rex Coffman, Robert Burry I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL In October of 2000 the Carbondale Agricultural Heritage Fund suggested that Garfield County develop a "Agricultural Cluster Development Ordinance", to provide large land owners another option to the splitting of their property into 35 acre tracts. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the Rural Land Development Exemption Option (RLDEO) originally in 2000. Since the adoption of the RLDEO regulations, there have not been any applications for that type of development. A number of land owners have explored the option, but determined that they do not qualify for it, based on the present language in Section 8:75 of the Subdivision Regulations that requires land owners to have not changed the legal description of the property as it was described in the records of the County on January 1, 1973. It was the intent of the language to discourage a large land owner from splitting their property into a number of 1000 acre tracts and doing separate RLDEO applications on each one and creating a large development in a rural area with limited ability by the County to meet the service demands of the new residents. The applicants are proposing to amend three sections of the RLDEO regulations to allow large land owners that have made changes to their properties legal description since 1973, but still qualify for a RLDEO. The suggested changes are as follows: 8.75 Eligible Property Lots may be created under the provisions of the Rural Lands `Development Option from any eligible property parcel, as that parcel was described in the Records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973 October 16, 2000 except where land was added to a previously eligible parcel, in which case, changes to the legal -1- description reflecting the added land may have occurred at any time without jeopardizing the eligibility of the property. In the case where lands are added to an existing property the existing parcel must have been at least 70 acres in size prior to the lands being added and must have otherwise been eligible for development under the Garfield County's Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Code. Minor changes to a property involving small areas including lot line adjustments to honor existing fence lines or other existing improvements or to resolve property line disputes can also be processed without jeopardizing the property's eligibility. Determinations regarding whether a particular lot line adjustment will be considered "minor" under this provision will be at the discretion of the County Planning Director. In order to qualify fro the Rural Lands Owners of property otherwise eligible for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option may also seek approval of an application fro exemption from the definition of subdivision to the extent allowed in Section 8:52 (A) of these regulations. Application for the 8:52 (A) of exemption may be processed either concurrently or separately from the application for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option, 8.81 Creation of Lots By the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option A. Lots may be created under the provisions of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option from any eligible property parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973 October 16., 2000 except where land was added to a previously eligible parcel, in which case, changes to the legal description reflecting the added land may have occurred at any time without jeopardizing the eligibility of the property. In the case where lands are added to an existing property the existing parcel must have been at least 70 acres in size prior to the lands being added and must have otherwise been eligible for development under the Garfield County's Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Code . Owners of property otherwise eligible for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option may also seek approval of an application for exemption from the definition of subdivision to the extent allowed in Section 8.52 A. of these Regulations. Application for the 8.52 A exemption may be processed either concurrently or separately from the application for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option. A request for exemption under Section 8:52 (A) may also be processed at any time without jeopardizing the eligibility of the balance of the property for consideration under the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option. 8.82 Submittal Requirements In addition to the submittal requirements of Section 8.40 (excluding 8:42 (H)) of these Regulations, applications for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option shall include: -2- II. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS A. Staff Comments: As in the previous application , staff supports an effort to develop a regulation that gives a large land owner an alternative to splitting their property into 35 tracts. The following discussion deals with some the issues staff has noted with the proposed language: 1. Determinations regarding whether a particular lot line adjustment will be considered "minor" under this provision will be at the discretion of the County Planning Director This proposed language gives the Planning Director the authority to determine whether a boundary line adjustment is minor or not. Two adjoining pieces of property are allowed to move common boundary lines without having to go through any County approval. The Planning Department has provided a boiler plate affidavit to property owners interesting in moving common lines that are not in a recorded subdivision.. There are no standards for making that determination in the County Subdivision Regulations other than a property owner cannot move a property line that results in a lot less than allowed in the underlying zone district. It is staffs suggestion that this part of the proposed language be deleted. 2. The RLDEO allows a large land owner to request an exemption from the definition of subdivision allowed by Section 8:52 at the same time that a land owner processes a request to create lots through the RLDEO process. An issue that staff and the applicant's representative have identified an additional change in the language of the RLDEO regulations that needs to be added to proposed language. The present and proposed language would not allow a large land owner that qualifies for a regular exemption under Section 8:52 to complete that process and then go through the RLDEO process at a later time. If a land owner does not go through the RLDEO at the same time that an exemption under Section 8:52 is processed, they will have changed the legal description of the property and not qualify for the RLDEO process as a result. Staff and the applicant do not believe that this is the intent of the regulation and would suggest that the following language be added to the proposed amendment: "Application for the 8:52 (A) of exemption may be processed either concurrently or separately from the application for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option and not affect the eligibility of the parcel as it existed on October 16, 2000 for either process." -3- III. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. The public meeting before the Board of County Commissioners was complete and all interested parties were given the opportunity to speak. 2. The proposed regulation is consistent with the goals and objectives in the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan. 3. The Garfield County Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed text amendment. 3. The proposed regulation is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, order, convenience and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County. IV. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommended approval of the regulations as modified by staff and the applicant. -4- tgmalloy consulting, LLC Site Design • Land Use Planning • Public Process April 8, 2002 Mark Bean, Planning Director Garfield County Building and Planning Dept. Garfield County Court House 109 8th Street Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 RE: Amendment to Rural Lands Development Exemption Option code text amendment application. Dear Mark: I am writing this letter to augment the application we submitted in February requesting amendments to the text of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option legislation. As we discussed in a phone conversation several weeks ago, our original application did not address the issue of how minor changes to a property, such as minor lot line adjustments, effect a property's eligibility for review under the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option (RLDEO) provision. In this letter we explain the details of this issue and offer a potential solution for consideration. It is our hope that this matter can be considered among the other amendments requested in our original application. Based on our phone conversation regarding the current language of the RLDEO regulation, my understanding is that the County would interpret any change to a property's legal description as a condition that would prohibit the use of the RLDEO provision for division of the property. The County's interpretation is based on the fact that the language of the current legislation requires that a property's legal description must remain unchanged since 1973 in order to preserve the option to utilize the RLDEO provision. The amendments we requested in our original application deal with any change in a property's legal description up to the date of the adoption of the RLDEO legislation (10/16/2000) and additions to a property even after the adoption date. However, more than one of my clients find themselves in the situation where, as part of their of estate planning, it makes sense to make minor revisions to their property to honor existing fence lines or to resolve other property line disputes that have occurred as the result of inaccurate or nonexistent survey information. Some of these changes would involve conveying small parcels to adjacent landowners and would; therefore, not be addressed under the amendments requested in our original application. We believe that such minor changes to a property should not jeopardize its eligibility for consideration under the RLDEO regulation. Therefore, we are suggesting an additional amendment to Section 8.71 of the regulation as follows: 8.75 Creation of Lots by the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option A. Lots may be created under the provisions of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option from any eligible property parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on Ja nuaM 1, 1973 October 16, 2000 except where land was added to a previously eligible parcel, in which case, changes to the legal description reflecting the added land may have occurred at any time without jeopardizing the eligibility of the property.

Minor changes to a property involving small areas including lot line adjustments to honor existing fence lines or other existing improvements or to resolve property line disputes can also he processed without jeopardizing the property's eligibility. Determinations regarding whether a particular lot line adjustment will be considered "minor" under this provision will be at the discretion of the County Planning Director. Owners of property otherwise eligible for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option may also seek approval of an application for exemption from the definition of subdivision to the extent allowed in Section 8.52(A) of these regulations. Application for the 8.52(A) exemption may be processed either concurrently or separately from the application for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option. This paragraph shows the changes proposed in our original application as well as the amendment we are proposing currently. The sentence highlighted in italics is the current amendment. I refer you to our original application for a discussion of the other amendments highlighted in the paragraph above. The revision which is currently proposed is intended to allow landowners to process minor lot line adjustments without losing the eligibility to utilize the provisions of the RLDEO regulation. While examples of situations that would qualify as "minor" lot line adjustments are offered, there may be many others. In order to provide the County with the discretion to determine whether a particular change to a property should be considered "minor" and thus not jeopardize the property's eligibility for consideration under the provisions of the RLDEO regulation we have included a clause giving the Planning Director the authority to make determinations. With this clause the Planning Director could consider such issues as whether someone was trying to create an additional development right or other attempts to subvert the intent of the RLDEO legislation with a particular lot line adjustment. We believe the minor amendment described in this letter is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option and in the best interest of the County and rural landowners. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have regarding the contents of this letter. I ook forward to discussing the proposed text amendments with the Planning Commission and Board of Coun Commissioners at our upcoming meetings.

These landowners hold large tracts of land within Garfield County and would like to be able to utilize the Rural Land Development Exemption Option (RLDEO) provision of the Subdivision Regulations (Article 8.70) but are precluded from doing so by certain clauses within the existing regulation. Since the Rural Land Development Exemption Option regulation was adopted, all of these landowners have analyzed the potential for utilizing it as part of a limited development strategy that would result in the preservation of at least 80 percent of their property for open space and agricultural uses. Yet, in each case, the property was found to be ineligible for technical reasons that appear to be contradictory to the intent of the legislation. We believe that the provisions of the current legislation which prevent these, and many other landowners, from utilizing this valuable subdivision exemption is unnecessarily restrictive and is not in the best interest of the County. We further believe that the regulation, as currently written, does not reflect the intent of the Task Force appointed by the County to come up with an alternative to the state 35 acre -subdivision exemption to allow limited development on large landholdings with an abbreviated review process. Therefore, we are proposing amendments to Sections 8.70 and 8.80 of Subdivision Regulations. Description of Proposed Text Amendments The proposed text amendments are intended to accomplish two basic objectives, both of which are consistent with the stated legislative intent of the RLDEO provision. The first objective is to allow the use of the RLDEO provision to further subdivide a property even when that property has been previously divided, provided such division occurred prior to the adoption of the RLDEO regulation and provided the subject property meets all other requirements of the Land Use Code and Subdivision Regulations (including all other provisions of the RLDEO regulation). The second objective is to allow the use of the RLDEO regulation to further subdivide a property regardless of whether the legal description of that property may have been changed, by the merger of additional lands to the original parcel, at any time in the past (even since the RLDEO regulation was adopted), provided the subject property met the criteria for eligibility prior to the new lands being added. The language in the current regulation prohibits both of these scenarios since it makes any property ineligible for consideration under the "rural land use process" if the legal description of that property has been altered since January 1, 1973 (Section 8.81 Rural Lands Development Option Code Text Amendment Application - 2/14/2002 (a)). The specific clauses to be amended and the proposed language are provided below. Language to be added is underlined, while text to be deleted is shown with strikeout. 8.75 Eligible Property Property to be divided under the provisions of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option must be a minimum of seventy (70) acres in size and may not be part of a previously subdivided property where the subdivision was created by any means other than the state -authorized 35 -acre subdivision exemption, or other subdivision exemption provided for in the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations. 8.81 Creation of Lots by the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option A. Lots may be created under the provisions of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option from any eligible pr-eperty parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973 October 16, 2000 except where land was added to a previously eligible parcel, in which case, changes to the legal description reflecting the added land may have occurred at any time without jeopardizing the eligibility of the property. In the case where lands are added to an existing parcel, the existing parcel must have been at least 70 acres in size prior to the lands being added and must have otherwise been elegible for development under Garfield County's Subdivison Regulations and Zoning Code. Owners of property otherwise eligible for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option may also seek approval of an application for exemption from the definition of subdivision to the extent allowed in Section 8.52 A. of these Regulations. Application for the 8.52 A exemption may be processed either concurrently or separately from the application for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option. 8.82 Submittal Requirements In addition to the submittal requirements of Section 8.40 (excluding 8.42(11)) of these Regulations, applications for the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option shall include... Rationale for Proposed Text Amendments As part of the research for this application, the notes and minutes of the Agricultural Cluster Development Task Force were reviewed, as were all available previous drafts of the Rural Land Development Exemption Option regulation. The Task Force notes and minutes and the previous drafts of the regulations were obtained from the Building and Planning Office. In addition, the author of this application provided technical assistance to the Task Force under a contract with the County and attended most of the Task Force meetings. Several people who attended the Task Force meetings were also consulted for their recollections regarding the issues addressed in the proposed code amendments. Those persons include Shannon Meyer, Executive Director of the Western Colorado Agricultural Rural Lands Development Option 2 Code Text Amendment Application - 2/14/2002 Heritage Fund (WCAHF); Robert Burry; Cassie Cerise and Victoria Giannola, staff planner in charge of the Task Force for the County. Based on the available records and the recollections of persons attending the Task Force meetings, the January 1, 1973 date referenced in Section 8.81 of the RLDEO was not discussed in detail by the Task Force. The discussion that did occur focused on the concern that the effectiveness of the regulation could be diminished if people were to record deeds dividing their properties into smaller parcels, thus making each parcel eligible for further division under the then proposed regulation. The Task Force wanted to avoid this situation. Ultimately, the Task Force decided that this was an issue best left to the County Staff to resolve. It would appear that the staff used the same date as that used for the existing 3 - lot exemption provision. We speculate that the Staff used January 1, 1973 because it would prevent a rush to divide existing parcels before the regulation could be enacted by making eligibility under the proposed regulation retroactive to this date. January 1, 1973 is also the same date used to determine eligibility under the existing subdivision exemption provision. The Staff probably also assumed this date would be well grounded in the County's historic zoning authority since 1973 is the year Garfield County adopted its original zoning resolution. While we understand the logic in the staff's decision and support the idea of preventing people from taking gross advantage of the regulation by dividing their properties prior its adoption, we believe that the use of the 1973 date defeats the purpose of the regulation and eliminates too many properties from eligibility. We propose that this date be changed to the date of the adoption of the Rural Lands Development Exemption Option regulation (October 16, 2000). Utilizing this date would accomplish the same objective, in terms of preventing a rush to file deeds dividing properties, while opening the opportunity for more landowners to take advantage of the RLDEO regulation. One example of a property that is currently precluded from using the regulation due to the 1973 date is the Coffman Ranch. The Coffman Ranch was altered in the 1980's when two small tracts were created from an adjoining ranch through the subdivision exemption provision and purchased by the Coffmans. The plat for these tracts was subsequently vacated and they merged with the Coffman's main ranch property. Therefore, the legal description of the property has changed since 1973 and would not be eligible for consideration under the RLDEO regulation. This is a property where use of the RLDEO provision would benefit both the landowner and the County. If the RLDEO were used, the County would benefit from the long-term conservation of 80 percent of the property, which includes significant frontage on the Roaring Fork River, and other valuable wildlife habitat. Each of the landowners who have sponsored this application has a similar story and in each case use of the RLDEO would result in benefits to the County as compared to the other options available to the landowners. Another situation that is addressed in the proposed text amendments is the use of the RLDEO regulation to further subdivide a property regardless of whether the legal description of that property may have been changed, by the merger of additional lands to the original parcel, at any time in the past (even since the RLDEO regulation was adopted). This issue is addressed in the underlined text included in Section 8.81(A) above. The proposed clause allows someone to add lands to their property, even after the October 16, 2000 adoption date, without jeopardizing eligibility to divide the property under the RLDEO provision. This clause requires that the existing parcel (to which lands are being merged) is at least 70 acres in size, not including the lands being added, and meets all other eligibility requirements and other applicable requirements of the County's Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Code. The thought here is that adding land to a property that is already otherwise eligible does not create any loopholes that could Rural Lands Development Option Code Text Amendment Application - 2/14/2002 be abused as far as the application of the RLDEO regulation is concerned and should be allowed, regardless of when it occurs. A similar concept is already incorporated into the existing regulation in the form of clause 8.81(C), which allows the owners of adjacent properties to combine properties for purposes of forming a parcel eligible for division under the RLDEO regulation. It would seem logical that if adjacent property owners are allowed to combine their properties and still utilize the RLDEO provision, a single owner ought to be allowed to add adjacent land to their property through purchase or other acquisitions and retain eligibility. The existing language in Section 8.81(C) seems to allow two adjacent property owners, with properties smaller than the required 70 acres, to combine to form an eligible parcel. The proposed text amendment requires that the existing parcel, to which lands are being added, be at least 70 acres in size. This would prevent someone from creating an eligible parcel by purchasing a small amount of land from an adjacent property but would continue to allow two adjacent property owners to combine lands to establish an eligible parcel. This is a fine distinction that the County may wish to eliminate by deleting the proposed language in Section 8.81(c) requiring existing parcels to be 70 acres or more in the case of lands merged under one ownership. We added this requirement because without it the 70 -acre minimum parcel size requirement (Section 8.75) would be irrelevant, since anyone could purchase whatever acreage was necessary to create an eligible parcel. We also propose to eliminated the clause in Section 8.81(C) requiring a property to be at least 70 acres in size since this requirement is already included in Section 8.75 and including this language again in Section 8.81(C) is redundant and confusing. We have also added language to Section 8.75 to clarify that a property may not be part of a previously subdivided parcel where that previous subdivision was established through any means other than a 35 - acre subdivision exemption or other subdivision exemption available through Garfield County's regulations. The language has been added to track with the changes in Section 8.81(C) allowing the legal description of properties to be altered (by a division) up through the adoption date of the RLDEO regulation. However, the regulation should not be relaxed to the point where properties that have already been through the County's subdivision process would still be eligible for this subdivision exemption. This added language also acknowledges the proposed amendment that allows someone to add land to their property and retain eligibility under the RLDEO (proposed Section 8.81(C)), since the added lands might be the result of a subdivision exemption from an adjacent property. The last proposed amendment is a change to Section 8.82, the submittal requirements for the Rural Land Development Exemption Option. The language in this section includes, by reference, the submittal requirements for the existing 3 -lot subdivision exemption provision (Section 8.40 of the Subdivision Regulations). The submittal requirements in Section 8.40 require that an applicant demonstrate that the subject parcel being considered for subdivision exemption "existed as described on January 1, 1973, or the parcel, as it exists presently, is one (1) of not more than three (3) parcels created from a larger parcel as it existed on January 1, 1973" (see Section 8.42(H)). This clause is consistent with the other requirements of the existing 3 -lot subdivision exemption provision. However, since we are proposing that the 1973 date be changed to October 16, 2000 for the RLDEO provision it would be necessary to exclude reference to Section 8.42(H) in order to avoid creating an internal conflict. Rural Lands Development Option 4 Code Text Amendment Application - 2/14/2002 Summary We believe the proposed text amendments described in this application are consistent with the legislative intent and definitions of the existing Rural Land Development Exemption Option legislation. In particular, the proposed text amendments will allow greater use of the Rural Land Development Exemption Option process thus creating the potential for more lands be preserved for agricultural purposes, natural resource utilization, open space and other rural land uses. Further, the proposed amendments have been carefully designed to avoid any internal conflicts or contradictions with the remaining provisions of the RLDEO regulation or with any other provision(s) of the County's Subdivision Regulations or Zoning Code. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Planning Commission and Board amend the Subdivision Regulations as proposed in this application.
