Krohn LOCATION: Northwest of DeBeque, CO SUBJECT SITE DATA: Approximately 30 to 50 acres of a 13,000 acre ranch ACCESS: County Road 200 (North Dry Fork Road) EXISTING ZONING: Resource Lands (R/L): Gentle Slopes and Lower Valley Floor SURROUNDING ZONING: R/L and Public Lands (BLM) L DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting approval of a special use permit for a resort on the property known as the High Lonesome Lodge. Previously, the Board approved an outdoor shooting range on approximately 1.5 acres of the ranch. The proposed resort would include six (6) cabins to house up to 35 guests for hunting and fishing activities on the property and adjoining public lands. Location of the Ranch / Proposed Range Site The subject property, known as High Lonesome Lodge consists of approximately 13,000 acres and is located northwest of DeBeque, Colorado on North Dry Fork Road and surrounded primarily by BLM land in the far western portion of the county along the North Dry Fork Creek drainage. The proposed resort activities would occur on approximately 30 to 50 acres of the ranch accessed by County Road 200 (North Dry Fork Road) which winds through portions of the ranch and BLM to dead-end in the ranch. Elements of the Proposed Resort The proposed resort activities will utilize six (6) cabins located on the property that will accommodate between 4 and 13 guests, with a total of 35 guest beds available. In addition to the cabins, there is a residence for the ranch manager, a guide's cabin and a cookhouse. The resort will offer hunting and fishing activities to guests that will occur on the ranch and the adjoining public lands. Guests will also be allowed to use the previously approved shooting range for practice or warm up to a hunting activity. The cookhouse will provide meals to the guests and ranch employees. Domestic water is provided three springs on the property adjudicated in Augmentation Plan in Case No. 02CW195 in Water Division No. 5. All buildings have existing individual sewage disposal systems in place. Access to the site is via County Road 200, which follows along the valley floor through a portion of the property and dead ends on the property. II. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The property is located in Study Area 5. This study area does not specifically provide for land use designations as in Study Areas 1, 2, and 3 as much of this area is public lands. The Recreation / Open Space element of the Comprehensive Plan does provide policy guidance to the proposal as stated the following goal of Section 5.0: "Garfield County should provide adequate opportunities for County residents, ensure access to public lands consistent with BLM / USFS policies, and preserve existing recreational opportunities and important visual corridors." Staff finds the proposal provides a recreational opportunity for County residents as well as attracting new and returning visitors to the County, does not conflict with the policies of the neighboring BLM regarding access to public lands, and is not located in nor interferes with any designated visual corridors. III.APPLICABLE REGULATIONS IN THE ZONING RESOLUTION A Resort is a special use in the R/L zone district which may be granted if the Board fmds the request meets the following applicable definitions, criteria, and standards provided in the regulations. A. Definition of a Resort The Zoning Resolution defines a Resort as a "Dude ranch or guest ranch; hunting or fishing camp, cross-country or trail skiing lodge (any of which shall not exceed twelve (12) dwelling units or forty-eight (48) beds or visitor capacity), land used for the purpose of recreation, which provides lodging, recreational activities, dining facilities, commissary and other needs operated on the site for guests or members." Staff Finding The proposed resort will serve a maximum of 35 guests and is to provide hunting and fishing activities for the guests. As proposed, the application meets the criteria for a resort. B. Review Criteria and Requirements for a Resort An application for a Resort must address the following standards and criteria in order to be approved by the Board. The requirements / standards are listed below in bold italics followed by a Staff response: General Special Use Permit Requirements (Section 5.03) I) Utilities adequate to provide water and sanitation service based on accepted 2 engineering standards and approved by the Board of County Commissioners shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use. Staff Finding The applicant has provided a copy of Water Division No. 5 decree of Augmentation Case No. 02C W 195, which provides augmentation for three springs on the property and water storage rights for a number of ponds and reservoirs on the property. The agumentation plan provides 0.75 cfs absolute for domestic and commercial purposes and 1.32 cfs conditional for domestic and commercial purposes. The applicants are allowed to use the water for domestic, commercial, recreational, pisccatoral and wildlife purposes. Each of the proposed buildings on the property are existing and have approved ISD systems. Staff Finding The water rights associated with the property are more than adequate to meet the legal and physical needs of the proposed resort. The ISD systems meet the State and County requirements for ISDS. 2) Street improvements adequate to accommodate traffic volume generated by the proposed use and to provide safe, convenient access to the use shall either be in place or shall be constructed in conjunction with the proposed use; Staff Finding As noted previously the property is accessed by County Road 200 (North Dry Fork Road). The applicantion states that the number of vehicles accessing the site on a daily basis for the resort activities will vary 4 to 8 vehicles. In addition to the resort activities, there will be agricultural vehicles accessing the site associated with the agricultural activities on the property. The same employees will work on the ranch and provide services to the guests of the resort.. The county road dead -ends into a private road which serves the ranch. At the fork, where CR 200 departs CR 222, the only property it serves is the High Lonesome Lodge. There is very little traffic on this road. The traffic counts collected during the summer of 2002 indicated there were a total of 49 average daily trips. The County Road and Bridge Department previously noted that the road surface consists of oil -shale and is in fair condition and should not present any issue with respect to the proposed resort. Road & Bridge saw no problems with the application, provided they comply with the following conditions of approval: 1. A stop sign shall be placed at any and all entrances to Garfield County Roads that are being used for commercial purposes. 2. All signs and installations shall be as required by the MUTCD, (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). 3. All accesses should have access permits on file with Garfield County Road & Bridge Department or access permits should be issued to meet Road and Bridge standards 3 4. No extra maintenance or snow plowing will be provided for other than what is normally provided at this time as a result of the approval of this SUP. 3) Design of the proposed use is organized to minimize impact on and from adjacent uses of land through installation of screen fences or landscape materials on the periphery of the lot and by location of intensively utilized areas, access points, lighting and signs in such a manner as to protect established neighborhood character; Staff Finding The proposed resort is located on property that is bordered by BLM to the north and east and along County Road 200 to the south and west and is approximately 13,000 acres in size. Given that the property is very large in size and is surrounded by public lands and the County road dead ends on the property, there is no screening or landscaping necessary to minimize the impact on adjacent properties. Regarding lighting, the applicant intends to serve the site with electricity. Any lighting shall be required to be directed downward and inward. This has been made a condition of approval. IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS 1. That proper public notice was provided as required for the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. 2. That the hearing before the Board of County Commissioners was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts, matters and issues were submitted and that all interested parties at the hearing were heard at that meeting. 3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the proposed special use permit is in the best interest of the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the citizens of Garfield County. 4. That the application is in conformance with the Garfield County Zoning Resolution of 1978, as amended. V. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners Approve the special use permit request for a Resort on the property known as the High Lonesome Lodge with the following conditions: 1) The maximum number of guests staying at the resort shall be 35. Any occupancy greater than 35 shall require a new land use permit.. 2) Any lighting installed at the resort shall be directed downward and inward. 3) A stop sign shall be placed at any and all entrances to Garfield County Roads that are being used for commercial purposes. 4) All signs and installations shall be as required by the MUTCD, (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). 5) All accesses will have access permits on file with Garfield County Road & Bridge Department or access permits should be issued to meet Road and Bridge standards 6) No extra maintenance or snow plowing will be provided for other than what is normally provided at this time as a result of the approval of this SUP.
