PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
REQUEST: Sierra Pinyon Subdivision Sketch
Plan
APPLICANTS: Barton Porter
ENGINEERS/PLANNERS: Starbuck Surveyors and Engineers
LOCATION: Located in a portion of Section 15
and 22 T6S. R92W; located
approximately two (2) miles south
of the Town of Silt.
SITE DATA: 129.35 acres
WATER: Wells (4)
SEWER: I.S.D.S.
ACCESS: County Road 331
EXISTING ZONING: A/R/RD
ADJACENT ZONING: A/R/RD
L RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is located partially in District C - Rural Areas/Minor
Environmental Constraints as shown on the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan
Management Districts Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The property is located south of Silt, in the lower reaches of
Dry Hollow Creek, south of Weible Peak. Elevations range from 5600 to 5800
feet. Dry Hollow traverses lots 1, 6, 7, 8 and 12. The site is undeveloped, and
in native vegetation. A vicinity map is shown on page
B. Project Description: The proposed subdivision is a "resubdivision" of Lots 17,
18, and 19 of the Sierra Vista Subdivision, approved in 1980, and amended in
1983. The 1983 amendments did not affect this portion of Sierra Vista Ranch
subdivision. All parcels created in 1980 exceeded 35 acres in size, and did not
require any subdivision review. A copy of the previously subdivided lots will be
avialable at the public meeting.
It is proposed to split the 129.35 acre site into 12 (twelve) single-family lots
ranging in size from 8.1 to 16.7 acres in size. Average lot size is approximately
10.8 acres per dwelling unit. Four (4) exempt well permits will be used to serve
• •
three dwelling each. Sewage disposal will be treated through conventional ISDS.
Access will be provided directly from Couriy Road 331. A sketch plan of the
•
proposed subdivision is shown on page
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. Soils/TopographY: The Soil Conservation Service has classified the majority of
the site as having moderate development constraints, due to percolation rates
and isolated shrink -swell soil characteristics. The Preliminary Plan geology
report will clarify and propose mitigation for any identified constraints.
B. Road/Access: The project proposes two (2) points of access from County Road
331 (Dry Hollow), spaced approximately 800' north and south. Lots 1 and 2
appear to take access from 50' easements originating from a cul -del -sac that
terminates at the southeast corner of Lot 2. Staff notes that all accessways must
be dedicated to the public, and not easements.
Garfield County road standards require the following configuration:
Number of Lots 12
Minimum ROW 50'
Lane Widths 11'
Shoulder Widths 6'
Ditch Width 6'
Cross Slope 2% (Chip/Seal), 3% (Gravel)
Shoulder Slope 5%
Maximum Grade 10%
Surface Chip/ Seal or Gravel
C. Fire Protection: No letter has been provided by the Silt Fire Department.
D. Floodplain The Dry Hollow drainage floodplain has been mapped by the Soil
Conservation Service (Floodplain Management Study - Colorado River
Tributaries, July 1986). At Preliminary Plan, the applicant shall indicate the
floodfringe and floodplain profile on required mapping.
E. Additional Agency Comments:
1. Division of Water Resources: The Division has not responded to the
application. A positive response is a requirement at the time of
Preliminary Plan.
2. Bookcliff Soil Conservation District: The District has responded to the
application, and has c ncerns regarding revegetation and animal control
(see letter on page' • ).
3. Colorado Department of Health: The Department of Health has not
responded to the application, put typically responds at Preliminary Plan.
E. The Sketch Plan process is purely informational. Completion of the Sketch Plan
process does not constitute approval of the proposed plan.

The Sketch Plan comments shall be valid for a period not to exceed one (1) year
from the date of the Planning Commission review. If a Preliminary Plan for the
proposed subdivision is not presented to the Garfield County Planning
Commission within this period, the applicant shall submit an updated Sketch
Plan application to the Planning Division for review and comparison with the
original application.

SOUTH SIDE SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT
P.O. BOX 1302
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601
August 29, 1994
Dave Michaelson

Planning Department
109 8th Street, Suite 303
Glenwood Springs, CO 81601
Dear Sir,
At the regular monthly meeting of the South Side Soil
Conservation District, the Board reviewed the application and
plan for the Sierra Pinyon Subdivision and have the following
comments and concerns about the project.
Any cuts for roads or construction should be revegetated to
prevent erosion. Weed free seed and mulch should be used for any
reseeding of the area. Monitoring of all seeding should be done
to see if the grass is establishing or if weeds are becoming a
problem. Reseeding or weed control practices should be
implemented if a problem is noticed.
The board is always concerned about animal control in an area
where there is the potential for conflict between wildlife or
domestic livestock and dogs from the subdivision. Dogs running
in packs of two or more can maim or kill domestic livestock and
wildlife. The District recommends animal control regulations be
adopted in the covenants for the subdivision and that they be
enforced.
Sincerely
John Sample, President
South Side Soil Conservation District
