MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
Subdivision Regulations. Section 8.52 of the Garfield County Subdivision
Regulations states that "No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or
dwelling unitswill be createdfrom any parcel, as that parcelwas described in the
records of the Gufield Camty Clerk and Recorder's Office on Januory I, 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-woy (State or Federal higlrwry, County
road or railroad) or nffiralfeafite, preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and
the division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural feahtre, such parcels
thereby createdmay, in the discretion of the Board, not be considered to harc been
created by exemptionwith regwd to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit
limitation otherwi se applicab le ; "
The applicant, has provided sufficient historic evidence through deeds for the
exemption.
Zorung: The proposal meets the criteria of a two (2) acre minimum lot size as
required by the A/R/RD zone district.
Legal Access: Legal access will be provided State Hwy. 133, a copy of the access
permit has been provided. It is unclear how the property will be accessed fiom the
State lfghway. The applicant should provide a route map to the site and indicate any
easements which may exist.
D.Water: The applicant is proposing the use of an existing individual well. An
augmentation plan has been provided, but does not appear to have been decreed to L/
date. The pump test as provided indicates service of "more than one house", but is
not specific. The augmentation plan identifies a service system for the houses but
no definitive plan is provided. All of these issues should be resolved prior to any
further review of the application.
The application does not indicate if separate irrigation water is to be provided to
the lots. The applicant should provide a method for large area irrigation given the
size and location of the lots.
Sewer: All lots have adequate area for an ISDS, but site specific soils investigation
and engineering may be required to safely place any system.
