DANIELSON State Engineer OFFICE OF THE STATE ENGINEER DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES 1313 Sherman Street-Room 818 Denver, Colorado 80203 (303) 866-3581 FAX [303] 866-3589 January 70,7992 Mr. Andrew McGregor, Planner Garfield County Planning Dept. 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 Re: Wooderr Deer Subdivrsron Sec. 24 & 25, T7S, R88W, 6TH PM W. Division 5, W. District 38 Dear Mr. McGregor: We have reviewed the sketch plan materials for the above referenced proposal to subdivide a L01..72 acre parcel into 22 lots varying in size fuom 9.29 to 2.0 acres. Each Iot will contain one primary dwelling and one guest house which will not exceed 900 square feet. The irrigated area for each lot will be limited to 2,000 square feet and no cattle or horses will be boarded on the site. The proposed water service is to be from a central water system, supplied by up to 6 wells located on the project site. The combined production from the wells will be limited to 100 gallons per minute and an annual diversion of 15.5 acre feet. The wells will be augmented with water from the Basalt Water Conservancy District. The project is located in area 'A', which indicates that District water can fully augment stream depletions. The applicant has filed an application for the 6 wells and a plan for augmentation with the Division 5 Water Court in Case i.lumber 91CW189. Any wells that will operate under an augmentation or replacement plan must be Iocated at least 600 feet from any existing well. If a well is located within that distance, then the applicant must obtain a waiver from the well owner indicating that they do not object to the new well. Since the proposed water supply depends on operation of an augmentation plan, a homeowners association should be formed to carrSr out administration of the plan and maintenance of water supply system. Mr. Andrew McGregor January 70, 'J.992 Page 2 We have no objection to the proposal at this stage, however we request that prior to final approval, we have the opportunity to comment on the adequacy of the Water Court decreed plan for augmentation. If you have any question, please contact John Schurer of this office. hottam Dass, P.E.

In addition to those comments voiced by staff in the packet, the Planning Commission had the following comments: l. Theapplicant should consider requiring sprinklers foreach single family residence. The hre hazard would be exacerbated by the abundance ol'trees. 2. Concern that restricting outdoor lighting might jeop ardize public safety and enco urage crime. Another commissioner expressed concerns about too much outdoor lighting and suggested that the developer restrict light quantities as a function o[ the restrictive covenants. 3. The applicant should consider the potential inrpacts of the proposal to C.R. 103 and consider making improvements to ollset those impacts. 4. A suggestion was made to consider increasing the size of water lines to six (6) inchcs and add fire hydrants. 109 8TH STREET, SUTTE 303 , 945-82t2/625-557t1285-7972 .
