occurs on the BLM land to the south.
D. Applicabiliff: Section 8:10 allows the Board of County Commissioners the discretionary
power to exempt a division of land from the definition of subdivision and, thereby, from
the procedure in Sections 3:00, 4:00 and 5:00, provided the Board deterurines that such
exemption will not impair or defeat the stated purpose of the Subdivision Regulations nor
be derimental to the general public welfare.

Mall): Road and Bridgs witl issue access permits for one access on each exemption lot
(Lots l-5). A sixty foot (60') right of way needs to be deeded to the Cormty for County

Subdivision Regulatioqs. Section 8.52 ofthe Garfield County SuMivision Regulations states
that "No more than a total offour (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created
from aly parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
-and
Recirder's Ofice on January l, 1973, and is not a part of o recorded subdivision;
however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by o public righrof'way (State
or Federal highway, County road or railroad) or rwturalfeafitre, preventingjoint use oftlu

The Zoning Regulations also prohibit certain land uses within any designated floodplain

Soils/Topo$aphy:
The soils irffio, indicates that four (4) major soil types exist onthe prope4y:
Ildefonso stony loam 6-250/o (#33), Potts loam 3-60/o slopes (#55), Potts Loam 6-12%
slopes (#56), and Potts-Ildefonso complex l2-25o/o slopes (#58).
The Ildefonso stony loam (33) is a deep, well drained, moderately sloping soil found on
mesas, benches, and sides of valleys. The permeability is moderately rapid and available
water capacity is low. Surface runoffis medium, and the etosion hazard is moderate.
The native vegeation found on this soil is pinyon and jnniper and it is mainly used for
gwingand wildlife habitat. Community development is limited by large stones and
steep slopes. Structures to divert runoffare needed for roads.
The Potts loams (55, 56, 58) are deep, well-drained, moderately to stnongly sloping soils
found on mesas, benches and sides of valleys. Permeability is moderate while available
water capacity is high. The native vegetation is mainly wheatgrass, needleandthread, and
sagebruslq pinyon, and juniper. Commurity development is limited by low stength,
shrink'swell potential. Dwellings and roads can be designed to overcome these
limitations. Steeper ar€as ar€ limited by slope and need structures to divert runoffand
minimize gullyrng erosion.

Staffnotes one additional issue regarding County Roads and access: the exemption
drawing shows a "proposed cul-de-sac". Staffassumes that it is not the intention of the
applicant to propose and instatl a cul-de-sac as part of the exemption process, but may be
considering it as part of a futute application for subdivision. Clarification is needed from
the applicit on tt ir point. (Update: the applicant has subsequently revised the drawing
to remove the cul-de-sac from the bend in County Road 300')
Water: Section 8:52 D ofthe Subdivision Regulations states the following:
The Board shall not grant an exemption unless the division proposedfor exemption hos
satisJied thefollowing criteria: Provision has been madefor an odequate sottce ofwater in
ternts of both tlrc legil and physical quality, quantity and dependobility, and a suitable type
of sewage dlsposal to serve each proposed lot;

The application stiates that, *Overall potential water production for domestic use looks very
favorable based on neighboring welihisto4y". It dso contains a report on the ruater supply
investigations conductid by Zanacanella & Associates (ZA) dated lll20l0l. The report is
based on apresumption of :i.5 people using 100 gallons ofwaterperpersonper_day, plustwo
livestock units and 2,500 sq. ft. of tu*o or garden use. Monument Ridge Well #2 was
completed on 10/16/60 by S-hetton Drilling Corp. It was pumped at a cortinuous rate of
betrveeq 12 and14.3 gpm for a 4 hour period. the well displayed continual drawdown with

G.
time and projecting the rate would be able to pump continuously for several days. The well
displayed normal recovery characteristics. In ZA's opinioo, "...the well will probably be
able to operate for extended periods at the rate of approximately 12 g.p.m. and will be
adequate to serve a sing [sic] family residence." The results of water quality tests indicate
that dissolved solids, inorganic chemicals, and nitrate levels were all below the Maximum
Contaminant Levels (MCL) as established by the CDPI{E (Co. Dept. of Pubtic Health and
EnvironmenQ. Coliform bacteria were absent from the well sample.

Subdivision accesses. Thank you for keeping me apprised of the communications that have oocuned to
date. lwill include the memo regarding the proposed ac@sses in the Monument Gulctt Exemptionfile.
Please be aware that the Board of County Commissioners must review and approve said acceeses as part of
the public meeting process on the exemption. Please also be avyare that a decision regarding the exernption
accesses will not include any specific or implied acceptance or comment on the proposed subdivision
ac@s$es.
The subdivision will be revierred at a separate public hearing. You may or may not be aleno that s€dion
9:34 of the subdivision regulations requires that subdivision streets be oonstruc'ted to standards consistent
with the subdivision regulations and dedicated to the public but that repair and maintenance ehall be provided
by an incorporated HOA Stafi has serious concems with the letest proposal$,hich sho\,vs access to the
subdivision lots direc'tly from a County Road, which is a significant clrange from the sketch plan proPosal.
Please do not hesitate to contac* me in the event you have any questions. Sincerely, Kit Lyon
