GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is requesting a permit for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on a 3 acre parcel located southeast of the City of Glenwood Springs. It is understood that the Applicant purchased the property with an ADU above a barn which has not been permitted. The Applicant would like to permit the existing ADU. The property is over the 2 acre minimum lot size for an ADU in the Rural zone district. As the property is under 4 acres, the ADU is limited to 1500 square feet. The Comprehensive Plan of 2030 identifies the property as Medium Density Residential (6- <10 ac/du) and Low Density Residential (10+ ac/du). Staff understands the property is served by an existing individual septic and well. A permit for the Septic was found in the Garfield County files, however it was not permitted for an ADU. A note on the permit states that the system must be redesigned if a kitchen or bedroom is added. As a result, the Applicant will need to hire an engineer to evaluate the system and provide a statement from the engineer stating the either the system is adequate as installed or needs to be to be upgraded. In addition, the Applicant will have to demonstrate that the existing water source is legally (provide permit and any applicable augmentation plan with application) and physically able to serve the ADU. A 4 -hour pump test and water quality test (4-203(M)(1)(b)(5)(a) and (c)) are necessary as part of the application but may be conducted as Conditions of Approval. The applicant is encouraged to contact Dwight Whitehead at 945-5665 ext. 5011 regarding the well permit on the property before submitting an application to Garfield County. Access to the property is via a private driveway. As this is a private access driveway, the Applicant will need to demonstrate that the driveway (from the proposed ADU to the Public Right of Way) meets the dimensional standards outlined in Section 7-107. The driveway needs to meet the standards for based on the Average Daily Trip (ADT) for that section of roadway. The Institute for Traffic Engineers (ITE) identify the traffic impacts from a single family residence at 9.57 ADT. The applicant will need to demonstrate who owns the minerals under the subject parcel. As a result, the Applicant will need to search public records (Garfield County Clerk and Recorder Records) to determine the names and current addresses of the mineral estate owners. A statement from the Applicant indicating the dates the records were searched, the findings of that search and the names and addresses of the mineral estate owners is necessary. Please see the attached memo from the Garfield County Attorney's Office regarding the search of public records to determine mineral owners. No hazards were identified on the subject parcel through the Garfield County GIS. Soils mapping from the NRCS Soils Data website has been included.
