I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The site is located in District C, rural areas/minor
environmental constraints, as designated on the Comprehensive
Plan Management Districts Map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site is fairly level, consisting of
portions of an old orchard. Improvements on the site
include one single-family residence, several sheds or
storage buildings, and parking areas for heavy equipment
associated with a pre-existing non -conforming
construction/excavating business. It is located in a rural
portion of the County, with land uses in the vicinity
primarily agriculture, single-family residential, and open
space.
B. Project Description: The applicants propose to divide the
20.36 acre site into two parcels approximately 5 acres and
15.36 acres in size.
C. History: The 20.36 acre parcel has been in existence since
1967, based on deeds presented by the applicants.
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. Soil Conservation Service information on the site indicates
only moderate limitations to single-family residences and
individual sewage disposal systems, based on slopes and
large stones.
2. The applicants have submitted an approved well permit for
the proposed 5 acre lot. The existing residence currently
utilizes a cistern for domestic water and proposes to
continue such use. (See Page

IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper posting and public notice was provided as
required for the meeting before the Board of County

morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the
citizens of Garfield County.
V. RECOMMENDATION

the application or stated at the meeting before the Board of
County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions of
approval.

property be divided proportionally between the lots and,
that a plat note shall be included on the Exemption Plat

the site shall be recognized and maintained as existing and
in place."

access permit for the 5 acre lot, as required by the
Garfield County Road and Bridge Department. A copy of said
permit shall be submitted to the Planning office.

paid for the creation of one new lot.

Domestic Water:
An application for a well permit has been sent to the Colorado
Division of Water Resources.
Darrell Sorensen of Specialty Drilling and Well Service is
currently drilling a test hole. 9-22-87
This well would only be used for a house on the 5 acre parcel.
The current dwellings on the 20.36 acres use a cistern that has
been in use for 28 plus years. They will continue using the
cistern.
Sewage Disposal:
A septic system that would meet Garfield County requirements
would be the method of sewage disposal.
