History:
The 10 acre parcel wap created in September of 1980 by anexemption for David(F t'targueritt,e Kerh (Resolution *80-215). Theresolution of approval stated that no further exemptions shalltake place on the parcel. However, in May of 1984 the luturrays
requested that they be allowed to apply for an exemption based onthe fact that count,y Road 320 divides their property. The Boarddetermined, at that time, that the Murrays could apply for anexemption based on the physical separation of the parcels by a
r ight-of-way.

I. City of Rifle - The City of
cannot serve the proposed 3
B. Staff Comments:
Rif1e has indicated that theY
acre parcel with water.
I.The two proposed parcels are divided by Count,y Road *320.
2. The County Road Supervisor indicated that access drive must
be a minimum of 300' northeast of the southeastern property
boundary. This will create a long driveway to the potential
building site at the south end of the parcel.
3. The shape, required setbacksr €ds€[t€nts, and amount of
usable ground on the proposed 3 acre lot will severely linit
any building site on the Iot.
An individual sewage disposal system on t,he proposed 3 acre
lot may be required to be an engineered system, according to
the Count,y Environmental Health Officer.
5. The amount of room required for a septic system and the
building setbacks from the county road make it questionable
whether t,here is a suitable building site on the property
without obtaining a varience from the Garfield County Zoning
Resolution requlrements for building setbacks.
The proposed lot has steep slopes on the southeastern sideof the lot. These slopes are greater than 40 percent. The
following is taken from the 5.04.02 Garfield County Zoning
Regulations 3
