road or railroad) or naturalfeature, preventing joint we of the proposed tracts, and
the division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural feature, such parcels
thereby created may, in the discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been

limitation otherwis e applicable ; "
The applicant, has provided sufficient historic evidence through deeds for the

RE: M. J. N. Subdivision ExemPtion
Dear Mark:
I have met Mark Nieslanik and reviewed the final plar drawings for the proposed M'J'N
subdivision. The fire district had commented prei'iously in 1997 regarding the access to the
;6;t. Mark and I discussed the emergency access easement that had been sought to the
south of Lot ..D,, and that they were unabG to obtain an easement from the adjoining property
owner. The access to the development is acceptable $'ithout the emergency easement
considering the proposed number and density of the lots'
The developers have received approval from the To\\'n of carbondale to connect to the tou'n
water system. Theypropose extending a six-inch water main to Lot "A'o and installing a fire
hydrant along the road near the hairpin curve. The proposed location for the hydrant is
acceptable.
The new lots created in the development are subject to impact fees adopted by the District' The
developer will be required to enter into an agreement rviththe District for the payment of
-l^r Eail#ilil;;;;'fres. rhis payment i: Jr: prior to *.. T""^',1iyl:T:9:t:: -::',:::"ffi"ffiio. *i*jot impact fee adopted by the District at the time the agreement is executed'
The current impact fee is $417 per lot'
