I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The tract is located in District A - Parachute Urban Area of Influence as designated by the
Garfield County Comprehensive Plan's Management Districts Map (1981; 1984).
H. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The subject tract is 80 acres in size, located adjacent to the western
border of the Town of Parachute, south of County Road 215. Parachute Creek flows
through the southern portion of the tract and also forms a portion of the western
boundary of the tract. See vicinity map, page " ? .
B. Adjacent Land Uses: The majority of the area surrounding this tract was originally
contemplated to service the shale oil industry, with the Gala Commercial Park located
• •
to the southeast and the Parachute Park PUD is located south of the tract. Parachute
Park was approved in 1985 and included a mix of residential, light industrial and
commercial uses. The project has never been developed and all lots within the PUD
remain vacant.
C. Proposal: The applicant proposes to subdivide, by exemption, the 80 acre tract into
three (3) parcels of 4.77, 11.19 and 64.18 acres each. The smaller parcels would be
located south of Parachute Creek and would be separated by the eventual extension
of Parachute Park Boulevard. Exxon would retain the larger parcel and Mr. Rader
would obtain title to the smaller parcels. Both smaller parcels are proposed to be
developed as single family residential.
D.
History: In mid-1995, by Resolution 95-055 (attached, page 4 ' /0er) the Board
approved an exemption request for the subject tract, approving two (2) lots, with the
centerline of Parachute Creek creating the boundary between the lots. Upon the
request of the Town of Parachute (See letter, page •PJ % • ) and staff
recommendation, the approved exemption plat was required to designate an easement
for the extension of Parachute Park Boulevard across the northerly parcel, land that
would be retained by Exxon. Exxon objected to this easement and indicated that Mr.
Rader had no authority to designate this easement. See letter, page or/ Z i.e. Exxon
subsequently requested the Board to rescind approval of the exemption request, which
occurred by Resolution 95-081. See Resolution, pages /3 -)q -

III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. Subdivision Regulations: Section 8:52 (A) of the Garfield County Subdivision
Regulations states that "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, and
is not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided 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 occurs
along the public right-of-way, such parcels thereby created may, in 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;"
The application contains a deed from 1967, Book 384, Page 286, that describes the
subject tract and it ap ears the tract has remained in this same configuration since.
See deed, pages /-t 2 . Two additional deeds have been provided that
demonstrate Exxon as the current owner of the tract; one deed from 1980 granting
a 60% interest in the land and another deed from 1982 granting the additional 40%
interest in the same land. For the sake �o--brevity, only the first pages of both deeds
are attached. See deeds, pages /S' /7,
• •
B. Zoning: The tract is located within the R/L (gentle slopes/lower valley floor) zone
district and all proposed lots are in excess of the two (2.0) acre minimum lot size.
Water Supply: The applicant proposes to supply the two (2) smaller parcels with
water that would be purchased from the Town of Parachute's municipal supply and
stored within individual, 1000 gallon cisterns. The Town has agreed to supply this
water; however, is reluctant to enter into a contract to guarantee a perpetual supply.
See water supply letter, page- Zo . Given the location of the parcels and the
location of the Town's water and sewer service lines, staff contemplates that the
parcels would likely be developed using the Town's services and the provision of
cisterns is specified to meet County regulations. As this is essentially she first time the
new regulation allowing cisterns is being utilized, it is incumbent upon the Board to
determine the adequacy of the proposed water supply, consistent with Section 8:52
(D) of the County Subdivision Regulations, to wit;
The Board shall not grant an exemption unless the division proposed for exemption
has satisfied the following criteria:
Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of both the legal
and physical quality, quantity and dependability..
Although it would seem perfunctory and useless to require the installation of cisterns
since the parcels would most likely be developed using municipal services, the
installation of cisterns should be required, to fulfill County regulations. Staff suggests
a condition of approval that instructs the applicant to either provide individual
cisterns, at least 1000 gallon capacity and all related infrastructure for each lot, or that
the applicant be required to provide the lots with municipal water, by whatever means
the Town of Parachute deems necessary, prior to the approval of an exemption plat.
This would assist in ensuring the provision of an adequate water supply and would
assist in enforcing regulations. Staff would also recommend a plat note to state the
approval of this exemption was not based on well permits issued by the State
Engineer's Office and that no new well permits should be issued for the smaller lots.
D. Soils/Sewer: The proposed method of waste water disposal for the smaller parcels
would be the use of individual sewage disposal systems (ISDS). According to the
Soil Conservation Service, soils on-site are predominantly within the Arvada loam
classification. When used for building site development, the soil is considered to have
moderate to severe constraints due to high clay content and high shrink -swell
potential. When used for ISD systems, the soils are considered to have severe
constraints due to slow percolation. Staff recommends the inclusion of a plat note to
address these limitations.
E. Access: The smaller parcels would be accessed by an extension of Parachute Park
Boulevard, which currently extends to the southern property line. Staff recommends
that, as a condition of approval, the applicant comply with the letter provided by the
• •
Parachute Board of Trustees and deed to the Town an 80 foot easement for public
right-of-way across portions of the smaller parcels. See letter, page' 2 / i.
Staff notes that the reason for rescinding the original exemption approval was based
on the fact that the easement requested by the Town of Parachute and originally
agreed upon by Exxon, was later found to be unacceptable to Exxon. It appears the
Town still seeks an easement across the Exxon tract and any action taken by the
Board shall in no way absolve Exxon Corporation from commitments made to the
Town of Parachute regarding the future extension of Parachute Park Boulevard,
should the Exxon tract be developed, at a future date.
F. Fire Protection: The Grand Valley Fire Protection District has provided a letter,
essentially approving of the exemption request with the following conditions:
1] Requests that all structures be separated from native pinyon/juniper trees by a
distance of four times the surrounding tree height, or 60 feet;
2] The source of water for fire trucks is adequate from live stream or pond;
3] Access to all structures should be sufficient as parcels adjoin Parachute PUD.
See letter, page's Z 2 • . Staff recommends the inclusion of the standard plat note
addressing wildfire mitigation.
Easements: All required easements for access, utilities, water supply, etc.,will be
required to be shown on an exemption plat.
School Impact Fees: The applicant will be required to pay the $200 school impact fee
($400.00 total), for the creation of the exemption parcels.
Potential Road Impact Fees: Upon adoption of a road impact fee, the lots created by
this exemption will be subject to paying that fee; paid at time of building permit
application, paid by the building permit applicant, if the lot has not been previously
annexed to the Town of Parachute. This provision shall be included as a plat note.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper posting and public notice was provided as required for the meeting before
the Board of County Commissioners.
2. That the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and
complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all
interested parties were heard at that meeting.
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed exemption is in the best
interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of
the citizens of Garfield County.
• •
V. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the application, pursuant to the following conditions:
1. That all representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated at the
meeting before the Board of County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions
of approval.
2. A Final Exemption Plat shall be submitted, indicating the legal description of the
property, dimension and area of the proposed lots, access to a public right-of-way,
and any proposed easements for setbacks, drainage, irrigation, access or utilities.
3. That the applicant shall have 120 days to present a plat to the Commissioners for
signature, from the date of approval of the exemption. The Board may grant
extensions of up to one (1) year from the original date of approval.
4. That the applicant shall submit $200.00 in School Impact Fees, per lot ($400.00
total), for the creation of the exemption parcels, prior to authorization of an
exemption plat.
5. That the following plat notes be included:
"The minimum defensible space distance shall be 30 feet on level terrain, plus
appropriate modification to recognize the increased rate of fire spread at sloped sites.
The methodology described in "Determining Safety Zone Dimensions, Wildfire Safety
Guidelines for Rural Homeowners," (Colorado State Forest Service) shall be used to
determine defensible space requirements for the required defensible space within
building envelopes in areas exceeding five (5) percent grade."
"Upon adoption of road impact fees by the Board of County Commissioners, the lots
created by this exemption shall be subject to paying the fees, paid at time of building
permit application, paid by the building permit applicant, if the lot has not previously
been annexed to the Town of Parachute."
"Soil conditions on the site may require engineered septic systems and building
foundations. Site specific percolation tests at the time of building permit submittal
shall determine specific individual sewage disposal system needs on the site."
"The individual lot owners shall be responsible for the control of noxious weeds."
"The approval of this exemption creating the smaller lots was not based on the
issuance or review of water well permits from the State Engineer's Office. The water
supply for the smaller lots shall be from individual cisterns and/or the Town of
Parachute municipal water supply."
6. That the recording fees for the exemption plat and all associated documents be paid
to the County Clerk and Recorder prior to the signing of an Exemption Plat by the
Board of County Commissioners and a copy of the receipt be provided to the
Planning Department.
7. That the exemption plat submittal include a copy of a computer disk of the plat data,
formatted for use on the County Assessor's CAD system.
8. That all proposed lots shall comply with the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of
1978, as amended and any construction shall comply with the 1994 Uniform Building
Code, as adopted by Garfield County.
The applicant shall adhere to all recommendations of the letter submitted by the Grand
Valley Fire Protection District, dated September 10, 1996.
10. The applicant/developer shall install individual cisterns, at least 1000 gallon capacity,
and any necessary infrastructure, for each of the smaller lots (lots south of Parachute
Creek), prior to final approval.
11. That the following provisions be included in the protective covenants governing the
exemption parcels:
One (1) dog will be allowed for each residential unit within an exemption and the dog
shall be required to be confined within the owner's property boundaries, with
enforcement provisions allowing for the removal of a dog from the area as a final
remedy in worst cases.
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.
All exterior lighting shall be the minimum amount necessary and that all exterior
lighting be directed inward, towards the interior of the subdivision, except that
provisions may be made to allow for safety lighting that goes beyond the property
boundaries.

Dear Mr. Rader:

Town Administrator
David G. Rousseau
I have had the opportunity to meet and discuss with the Parachute Board of Trustees, Grand Valley Fire
Department's Fire Chief Gary Mahaffey and Garfield County Road & Bridge Senior Foreman Marvin
Stephens about the proposed right-of-way of Parachute Park Boulevard.
The Board of Trustees has not changed its position about the proposed right-of-way of Parachute Park
Boulevard to be shown as an easement, and dedicated to the public with appropriate dedication language on
the Final Exemption Plat.
Fire Chief Gary Mahaffey has also expressed his desire to preserve the right-of-way of Parachute Park
Boulevard to County Road 215. He wants to be assured that there will be adequate access for emergency
vehicles through Parachute Park P.U.D. and your +80 acres (former site of the Colony Staging area), in the
event of future development.
County Road Foreman Marvin Stephens did not see any problems with the proposed intersection of Parachute
Park Boulevard and County Road 215. It appears to intersect at a straight portion of County Road 215, with
no tall vegetation growth within the immediate area or curves that would hinder vehicular traffic entering and
exiting.
Mr. Stephens expressed that before the final exemption plat is signed, he would like a chance to review it for
the proposed intersection drainage easement. He may be reached at 625-2751, Garfield County's Road &
Bridge Shop in Rifle.
Should you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sales Tract No. 2 - 17.28 Acres

Gid
I am writing in regards to the subdivision plat recently submitted by Mr. Hayden
Rader affecting lands currently owned by Exxon and located in Secs. 1 & 1 2, T7S,
R96W, Garfield County, Colorado.
Several months ago, we entered into a contract of sale with Mr. Rader to sell him
17.28 acres out of an approximate 81 acre tract of land. Our intent was to sell
Mr. Rader that portion of the property located south of Parachute Creek. As part
of our trade, Mr. Rader was responsible for obtaining County/City approval for the
subdivision of the larger tract. At no time, did we agree for him to take any action
which might affect our remaining property.
When we recently obtained a copy of the subdivision plat, we noted that an 80'
wide access & utility easement was shown extending from the land to be sold
northward across Exxon's property to County Road 215. This easement was
never dedicated or conveyed by Exxon and we do not wish to encumber the
property with such an easement. Therefore, we ask that you take necessary
action to remove the easement from the plat submitted by Mr. Rader.
Should you have any questions, please call me at (713) 423-4068.

RE: Domestic Water Supply Source
Dear Hayden:
As per our conversation yesterday, concerning a source of domestic water for use on the 17 -acre
parcel you are purchasing from Exxon, I am hopeful the following information will help you
proceed with your subdivision exemption process through Garfield County.
It has always been the Town of Parachute's position to sell bulk water to out-of-town households
for domestic use only. Your request was to supply two proposed households with 1,000 gallon
cisterns.
As long as the Town has adequate water resources to serve its residents, I do not foresee any
problem with continuing to provide bulk water sales. Your use would be transferable, should you
elect to sell the property.
Shoulou need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

RE: Parachute Park Blvd. Easement
Dear Hayden:
This letter shall confirm at the Parachute Board of Trustees last regular meeting on July 11, 1996,
the Board supported your decision, with conditions, to proceed with your subdivision exemption
splitting the Exxon property.
The Board therefore withdraws its objection to the subdivision exemption request by Exxon to
permit you to purchase the 17 acre parcel, provided that you agree to deed to the Town, the 80
foot easement for the right-of-way for the west bypass as shown on the Turner, Collie and
Braden plans, as it passes through the property you are purchasing. The Board does not intend
by this action to release Exxon from its obligation to provide an easement across the remaining 63
acre parcel at such time as the roadway is deemed necessary by the Town or the County
Commissioners.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact
me at (970) 285-7630.

Subject: Proposed Exec ption for Hayden/Rader Property
Dear Mr. McCafferty:
At the request of Mr. Hayden Rader, the Grand Valley Fire Protection District in
Parachute has reviewed his request for an exemption. The parcels are part of the
property known as the Rader/Exxon exemption, and this action involves lots #2
(11.19 acres) and #3 (4.77 acres) which are south and west of Parachute Creek.
This exemption is approved with the following conditions:
1. Request that all structures be separated from native pinyon/juniper by a distance
of four tunes the surrounding tree height or 60 feet.
2. Source of water for fire trucks is adequate from live stream or pond.
3. Access to all structures should be sufficient as parcels adjoin Parachute PUD.
Therefore, the Fire District has no concerns with this exemption. If there are any
questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Ed Baker, Asst. Fire Chief
District Sec./Tres.
