I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
District C - Rural Areas/Minor Environmental Constraints
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL:
A. Site Description: The site sits on Taughenbaugh Mesa overlooking the
West Rifle area. The property fronts County Road 321. The site consists
of gentle sloping hills with an upward slope to the back of the property.
The parcels adjacent to the site are all large tracts with single family
residences and agricultural uses.
B. Project Description: The applicant proposes to divide 38.04 acres
into 3 lots of approximately 28 acres, 5 acres and 5 acres. The proposal
requests placing the two 5 acre parcels to the front of the property off
County Road 321 and the larger 28 acre parcel to the back of the property
accessing off County Road 321 through a 60' easement between the two 5
acre parcels.
III. MAJOR CONCERNS AND ISSUES:
A. Review Agency Comments:
1. Division of Water Resources: A letter was received from the
Division of Water Resources stating that they saw no problem with
the current well permit serving 3 households. However, they
requested that the well be located on an outlot owned in common
by all property owners using the well. Access to the well and
the right-of-way to be established and maintained for a pipeline
should be provided by easements where necessary. The Division
also noted that the well should be jointly owned by all the lot
owners. In addition, the Division would like to see a lot owners
association which would establish a joint management and
management agreement concerning the well.
See letter, page 30 .
2. The Colorado Geological Survey stated that they saw no major
geological problems with the site, however, they recommend that
soil foundation investigations be conducted to determine proper
design for foundations and access roads.

B. Staff Comments:
1. The County Environmental Health Officer foresees no problems with
the individual septic systems proposed for the site.
2. Access to the five acre parcels are not noted on the plat.
However, this has been discussed with the applicant who has no
problems with accessing all 3 lots off the proposed 60' access
easement in the center of the property. Each of the driveways
accessing off this easement should be at least 50' from the
County Road right-of-way.
IV. FINDINGS
1. The sketch plan conforms to Section 4.01, sketch plan requirements of
the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations.
2. The sketch plan conforms to the requirements of the zone district in
which the development is located.
3. That for the above stated and other reasons, the sketch plan appears
to qualify for approval by this Board.
V. RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends approval for exemption from full subdivision review
with the following conditions:
1. The Final Plat shall show access to the two 5 acre parcels and
that these must all enter off County Road 321 through the one 60'
easement no less than 50' from the county road right-of-way.
2. The Final Plat shall read "Robinson Subdivision" rather than the
"Robinson Minor Subdivision".
3. The Final Plat shall show the county road right-of-way.
4. A culvert for the barrow ditch to the north of the property where
the access point shall be will be of an approved size according
to the County Road and Bridge Supervisor.
