1. BACKGROT]I\ID AI\ID DESCRPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
Final Plat of the "Up Cattle Creek Subdivision" was recorded on May, 1972. At the time of
recording, the plat reflected home site locations as circles on each parcel. Typically, home site
locations specific to the subdivision will be shown as building envelopes with specific dimensions.
The circles were not legally described or given any measurable size. A rough estimation by staff
shows the existing building circle to be approximately 65' in diameter. The applicant is proposing a
diameter of approximately I I 5' . The proposed building circle would completely encompass the old
circle with the increase in size affecting the south, west, and east portions.
There was a residence on the property ttrat was destroyed by fire. The current owner purchased the
property after the home was destroyed. It is the owner's intention to build a residence on the
property in approximately the same location. Due to the small size of the former residence,
geographic features, and septic concems the applicant is proposing to increase the building "circle".
A letter dated October 10, 2005 from the Up Cattle Creek HOA has been submited with the
application materials. This letter is in support ofthe applicants request stating that the HOA sees no
issues with visual impacts or negative property values.
The proposed increase in size will satisfr all Garfield County zoning and subdivision requirements
specific to the ARRD Zone. Additionally, all setback requirements in relation to properly lines will
be met.
