Review of the Wood Landing
Planned Unit Development
compliance with the requirements of
Section 4.09.01 of the GarFreld
County Zoning Resolution o l 1 978.
Board of County Commissioners
A tract of land located in parts of
Section 4, T65, R91W; more
particularly described as a tract of
land located approximately one (l)
mile southwest olNew Castle, off of
County Road 335.
The site consists of 9l acres.
Proposed central water system.
Proposed central sewage treatment
system.
Three (3) interior roads offC.R. 335.
Wood Landing PUD
A/I, A/R/RD and O/S
T.RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The parcel of land is located in the following Comprehensive Plan Management
Districts:
District A - New Castle Urban Area of Influence
District D - Rural Areas/Moderate Environmental Constraints
District F - River/Floodplain Severe Environmental Constraints.
II. DFSCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Descrintion: The subject property consists of approximately 90 acres, 23 of
which are located on the south side of C.R. 335. This land consists of a steeply
sloped pinion juniper hillside. The majority of the site, situated north of the
"l
county road, consists of a broad, flat river terrace adjacent to the Colorado
River. The bulk of the area is irrigated cropland. At the east side of the parcel
is the Garfield Creek drainage. The north boundary of the property is the south
bank of the Colorado River. Portions of the property are located in the
regulated floodplains of the Colorado and Garfield Creek.
I-IeveloFment Profrosal: The applicant is proposing to subdivision the property
into 317 Single Family residential lots on 58 acres with an average lot size of
5,400 square feet. Included is the zoning approval, but not shown on the map,
are 2 commercial lots. Approximately 30 acres of the site would be dedicated
as open space, the majority olwhich is unusable ground on the south side of the
County road.
Background: In October of 1980, by Resolution No. 80-258, the Wood Landing
PUD was approved by the County. The PUD would have a maximum of 317
residential lots and two multi-purpose commercial lots on the approximately
91.0 acres ol land included in the PUD. As a condition of approval, the
developer, Gene R. Hilton and Ranch Investment Corporation, were required
to agree to making improvements to County Road 335 to alleviate trallic
problems that would result from the development of the project. An agreement
to that effect was signed in January of 1981 (see enolosed resolution and road
agreement).
In the spring of 1987, public hearings were held to consider the revocation of the
Wood Landing PUD and reversion to the original agricultural zone district.
Section4.09.0t of theGarheld County ZonngResolution of 1978, asamended,
states that "the applicant must begin development of the PUD within one year
from the time of its hnal zone change approval, provided, however, that the
PUD may be developed in stages." Section 4.09.02 states that "if the applicant
does not comply with the time limits imposed by the preceding subsection, the
County Commissioners shall review the PUD and may revoke approval for the
uncompleted portion of the PUD, orrequire the PUD to be amended, orextend
the time for completion of the PUD." The applicant was granted a three (3) year
extension, with all original conditions and obligations remaining in eflect.
In May I 99 l, the applicant was notilied that the extension of time granted by the
BOCC had expired due to inactivity. Again, it was staffs intention to begin
processing the reversion of the zoning. This matter was presented to the
Planning Commission in July 1991. The Commission agreed to grant al20 day
extension of time at the applicant's request, to prepare an economic feasibility
study. The Planning Commission extension expired on November I l, 1991. In
January 1992, the applicant liled a Sketch Plan application. No economic
feasibility study was ever submitted.
III.MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
A. Zoning: As noted previously, Section 4.09.01 of the Garfield County Zorung
Resolution of 1978, requires an applicant for PUD approval to begin
development of the project within one (l) year of "hnal zone change approval."
Final zone change approval was granted in October of 1980, with a road
improvement agreement being signed in January of 1981. No action to complete
the PUD was initiated in the ensuing ten (10) years. In each case, it has been the
County that has initiated action on the PUD in 1987 and 1991.
B.
C.
A-
B.
After, the previously noted November I l, l99l deadline to submit an economic
feasibility study and to present new information to the Planning Commission,
the applicant approached staff. The applicant was advised that he was supposed
to have started the subdivision review process to be in compliance with Section
4.09.01 of the Zontrrg Resolution. He stated that he would be proceeding
forward with a subdivision application and that a letter would be following (see
enclosecl page '- r'l - ). This letter was presentecl to the Board of County
Commissioners on December 16, 1991. The Board directed staffto send aletter
to the applicant that an application lor sketch plan must be presented by
January 15,1992(see letter page* 5 - ). A sketch plan was submitted prior to
January 15, 1992. The Planning Commission reviewed the Sketch Plan and
made their comments on March 11,1992.
Sketch Plan review does not give an applicant anything more than comments on
the proposed subdivision, there is no approval or denial. Neither the Planning
Commission or the Board had taken any action on the issue of revocation,
modilrcation or extension otthe PUD as contained in Section 4.09.02 of the
Zontng Resolution. On March23,1992, the Garfield County Attorney sent a
letter to the applicant advising him that the issue of whether an extension,
modihcation or revocation of the PUD should be approved (see letter pug.G-).
On April 8, 1992, the Planning Commission recommended revocation of the
PUD approval for the Wood Landing PUD (see minutes pages 8 ' l '1 ).
The applicant submitted the enclosed letter at the Planning Commissionmeeting
lseepage /3 ;.
The Board of County Commissioners has not taken any action on the question
ofrevocation, modification orextension of theWood Landing PUD. Theletter
written to the applicant in December by staff did not deal with the issue of
whether or not an extension was to be granted if a subdivision application was
submitted. The issue belore the Board is whether or not you feel it is
appropriate to revoke, amend or extend the PUD approval.
Other Comments
1. Town of New Castle: The Board of Trustees of the Town of New Castle
have submitted a letter opposing the approval of the Woods Landing
PUD (see page / { ).
IV.RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recoflrmended revocation olthe Wood Landing PUD on
April 8,1992.

MINUTES

STAFF PRESENT
Don DeFord, County Attorney
Mark Bean, Director
Regulatory Oflcrs & Personnel
Andrew McGregor, Planner
Dave Michaelson, Planner
Roll Call was taken with Frank Phelps absent. Theminutes
1992 and March I l, l992were approved, as corrected, with
Consideration of Rescission of PUD and Vacation of Final Plat lor Westbank Ranch PUD
Filing 4 - Board of County Commissioners. Mark Bean stated that he had received, just before
themeeting started, acopy of awateragreement signed by theWestbank Ranch Homeowner's
Association and Westbank Ranch No. I Limited. Mr. Bean noted that there is a request for
a one (l) year extension to initiate the development of the PUD portion of the project.
Billie Burchfield, water attorney and representative for John Huebinger and Westbank Ranch
PUD Filing 4, noted that Filing 4 was the only portion of the development left to be completed
of the Westbank PUD. The agreement, as signed, provides six months or in a judicial and
supplemental engineering analysis to prepare the attorneys to go forward with formal
application to the water court for augmentation and/or alternate points of diversion. She
explained that there is a very specihc time schedule in the agreement where in the engineering
analysis would be finalized within a six month period additional and supplemental water
contract would be obtained and finalized within six months and an augrnentation pursued
diligently until there is a decree from the water court. Ms. Burchfield asked that the
Commission recommend at least a yearextension to allow the parties to get the supplemental
engineering and water court decrees that are necessary for the development to begin.
Harold Shaeffer asked what if nothing takes place in a year, do the homeowners get better
water rights. Bob ChafIin, attorney, noted that by July l, 1993 the homeowners will receive
the water system and sixty-six percent (66%) of the domestic water rights.
Mr. Bean clariflred that having a Final Plat f-rled, without any improvements in place, does not
give the developer the right to sell the property.
Stephanie Lavorini asked how the water agreement effects the vacation of the Filing 4. Mr.
Bean responded that there is still the same amount of water available for Filing 4 that are
necessary as during the original proposal.
Motion
Phil Vaughan moved to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners an extension of
s2O
timefortheWestbank RanchPUDFiling4foraperiod ofone(l) year. PeteNicholsseconded
the motion.
Mr. Bean suggested that the Subdivision Improvements Agreement also be amended to
incorporate the one (1) year.
Mr. Vaughan moved to add Mr. Bean's suggestion to the motion. Mr. Nichols seconded the
motion.
The motion passed with a unanimous vote.
Consideration of Revocation, Amendment or the Time Extension for Comfrletion of the Wood
I anding PUD - Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Bean noted that the project has not
gone beyond the rezoning.
Bob Cutter, representative for Gene Hilton, handed out a copy of a letter written by Mark
Bean stating that the Board of County Commissioners stated that if no application had been
received by January 15,1992, the County would reinitiate the process to rezone the property.
Mr. Stephenson understood that the sketch plan submittal was brought into the Planning
Department on January 14,1992, the day before the cutoff. Mr. Bean stated that there was no
agreement as far as the issues of what eflect that letter had on the PUD approval. The Board
of Commissioners said that they would not continue the initial action until January 15,1992.
The letter was not an agreement to an extension.
Phil wanted to understand that the extension actually expired on November 8, 1991. Mr. Bean
said yes. Mr. DeFord noted that was the extension that the Planning Commission granted.
Mr. Bean stated that the extension granted by the Board of County Commissioners expired on
May 4, 1990.
Mr. Nichols noted that the extension was over a year after the Planning Commission
considered it and then gave them another 120 days to November 8, 1991.
Mr. Bean noted that at that time the comments were made that the applicant was going to
present an economic feasibility study to the Planning Commission. After that time had passed,
that is when Mr. Hilton came in and spoke to us about the other issue.
Mr. Shaeffer asked again if the 120 day extension actually expired before anything was done.
Mr. Bean said yes.
Mr. Fitzgerald said that he didn't understand. Mr. Cutter gave the Planning Commission the
letter Mr. Bean wrote to Gene Hilton on December 16, I 99 I , and that letter said that the Board
of County Commissioners stated that if no application was received by January 15, 1992,the
County will reinitiate the process to rezone the property. The letter that was appended to that
said that the developer complied with the requirements by hling the Sketch Plan on January
14,1992.
Mr. DeFord noted that he agreed that the letter was submitted as set forth by the Board of
Commissioners. What the Board did not do was state that if it was submitted the Board of
Commissioners would a{Iirmatively grant an extension of time. Some of this admittedly is a
problem with time frames and appeared to be legal nitpicking, but there had not been an
extension of time actually granted by the Board of Commissioners. In other words, the
correspondence from Mr. Bean did not state that the applicant would have an extension of time
and if so for how long. What we have right now is a PUD whose approval ran out by time,
cl
actually now several years ago, that has not actually been extended. Because it can only be
extended by the Board of Commissioners. That issue should have been brought to the Board
of Commissioners and they needed to state affrrmatively that they were extending, it or were
not and if they were, for how long.
Mr. Fitzgerald noted that if I was reading the letter on the basis of what it said, he thought that
if he handed it in, he had met his obligation.
Mr. DeFord asked how long did that letter extend the PUD and Mr. Fitzgerald responded that
it did not say. It would seem that complying with the letter, which was the recommendation
of the Planning Commission, would meet the requirements. Mr. DeFord noted that it did not,
because it did not state a time certain and it did not state that the PUD would be extended. It
only stated that the Board of Commissioners would not initiate action to revoke the PUD
within that time frame.
Mr. Cutter noted that Mr. Hilton felt that was the County's requirements that this was what
the planning staffhad asked for and told him he had to do this and that is what he did.
Mr. DeFord stated that he made it very clear at the March meeting that when the applicant
started reviewing the Sketch Plan that the letter did not amount to an extension of the PUD.
Mr. Bean stated that Mr. Hilton requested in November after the time had expired on this
issue. Thefact that Mr. Bean was out of town in Novemberduring thePlanning Commission
meeting was one of the reasons it did not get brought back to the Planning Commission. After
that time the applicant came in and asked if he could submit something for the subdivision
process. Mr. Bean suggested that he submit a letter to the Board of Commissioners requesting
exactly what he wanted. Mr. Bean took that letter to the Board of Commissioners, it was not
staffs direct suggestion.
Mr. Shaeffer asked ifany of the subsequent action, ever since the original expiration, which was
three years ago, did away with the original time frame of the PUD? Has it extended it or has
it been left in limbo? Mr. DeFord responded that other than the action that extended it to
1990, it has not. Mr. Shaeffer asked that this was true even though the action was initiated by
the Planning Commission and also by the applicant for 120 days, which was not met.
Mr. Nichols stated that that was not really an action. All the Planning Commission did was
table the PUD for 120 days, the applicant proposed a time frame and in response to a question
from the Commission, he said that he wanted to also do aneconomic feasibility study in that
period of time. Mr. Shaeffer noted that the study was never received.
Mr. DeFord stated that the Planning Commission tabled the PUD and they have no authority
to legally extend the PUD.
Mr. Nichols stated that rather than acting to recommend revocation or acting to recommend
extension the Planning Commission tabled the PUD for 120 days to let the applicant come
back with some information. He didn't. Mr. Nichols telt that the applicant has "blown it."
Mr. Cutter stated that the developer felt that he was in compliance with the County's
requirements, as Mr. Bean set out in his letter, and the applicant started on the Sketch Plan
process according to the comments of the Planning Commission, which Mr. DeFord made
clear were only good for one (l) year and the applicant was going through the development
process.
Mr. Nichols noted that the 120 day tabling that the Planning Commission suggested on July
lo-
I I , 1991 , was over months before the March meeting. The applicant did not come up with the
feasibility study that he said he would in that period of time. Mr. Nichols was out of patience
and there isn't a level of trust existing anymore on his part.
Mr. Shae{fer asked if from a legal standpoint, has the Planning Commission been obligated to
an extension because of the action that has taken place since May 1990? Mr. DeFord
responded that the letter is ambiguous, and agreed it could be interpreted to say that the Board
of Commissioners would not initiate any action atany time after a Sketch Plan wassubmitted.
Mr. DeFord didn't believe that was afair interpretation of what the Board of Commissioners
did, and he thought it needed to go back to them to be interpreted.
Mr. Stephenson agreed.
Mr. Bean stated that what was needed lrom the Planning Commission was a recommendation
as to what type of action they felt would be appropriate as a commission.
Mr. Fitzgerald felt that it was a zoning issue. It is hard to separate the two, but it is a zoning
district that has been granted for that piece of land for some years. He felt to change the
zoning, to down zone or to up zone, there should be solid proof lor either to first time around
to have zoned in error or things to substantiate the change. He didn't feel things have changed
since the early 80's for the housing. Rifle's vacancy rate was back to where it was during the
oil shale days and the house prices are now going back to that. He didn't see a change.
Mr. Beannoted that the Castle Valley development was approved subsequent to the approval
of this particular project and is within the Town of New Castle. There were well over 2,000
units. They have not all been platted. He believed part of that was related to the fact that the
developer has not seen the market for that type of housing. A lot of his housing is intended to
deal with some of that market.
Mr. Fitzgerald noted that he has consistently taken that approach and he didn't believe the
Planning Commission has reached a point where they can say that they have determined there
are enough lots for the market.
Mr. DeFord noted that from a legal perspective, he didn't see that this discussion was actually
part of the issue belore the Planning Commission. A PUD is not a normal zone district. Mr.
Fitzgerald was correct that if the Planning Commission were talking about a normal zone
district, in a rezoning up or down, those are the issues we would be looking at. In some
circumstances that would be true with a PUD, but the only reason this was before the Planning
Commission was because of the time limits imposed on development for a PUD. That was not
a requirement in any other zone district, only in PUD's, and the Garl-reld County code was very
simple about time limits. If the applicant didn't comply the time limits then the Board of
Commissioners may revoke, extend with conditions orextend those time limits. That was the
issue. Should the Planning Commission extend the time limits, extend them with conditions
or revoke the PUD because the time limits were not met.
Mr. Cutter asked if the Board of Commissioners actually asked that this come before the
Planning Commission for recoilrmendation. Mark replied yes. That is why it came before the
Planning Commission in July. Mr. Cutter meant after the January 15,1992 deadline that the
Boardof Commissionersmade. Mr. Beansaidno. ThePlanningCommissionwascontinuing
the same action that never occurred after the July meeting. Mr. Cutter asked if Mr. Bean has
reported back to the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Bean stated that he told them that this
meeting and this discussion was going to occur. Mr. Cutter asked if they requested that the
Planning Commission make a recommendation on this issue. Mr. Bean noted that the Board
of Commissioners did not tell him to discontinue this discussion. Hesaid he talked to them on
t\
April 6,1992. Mr. Cutter noted that they didn't ask the Planning Department to bring it before
the Planning Commission. Mr. Bean said no and stated that he explained to them what was
doing on.
Mr. Nichols noted that it seemed like the Board of Commissioners has already asked the
Planning Commission to give them a recommendation and they planned to respond to their
question of last July.
Motion
Mr. Nichols moved to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners revoke the Wood
Landing PUD. Ms. Lavorini seconded the motion.
Mr. Fitzgerald was not comfortable with the situation or explanation of the two letters. He
said if he were an ordinary man on the street and saw those letters, he would think that meeting
that date is all he could do.
Mr. Nichols noted that he was tired of not being able to depend on the sort of representations
that people make before the Planning Commission like representations the applicant made last
July that they would come back with in it 120 days, and he remembered asking the applicant
if that was enough time and if they were going to come back with a feasibility study. The
applicant said yes and he did not do either one. As lar as representations go Mr. Nichols lelt
that the applicant was on the sort end of the stick.
Harold noted that the 120 days was their time limit.
Pat stated that it was not one we imposed on them.
The motion passed with a 5-l (Pat Fitzgerald) vote.
Tone Tristrict Change lrom A/R/RD to C/L- Carl Midland. Mr. Nichols disqualihed himself
from this issue due to his employment with Unocal. Andrew McGregor summarized the
project, which was a request for a zone district change of approximately 44 acres of a74 acre
tract from fuR/RD to ClL. The applicant states that the primary reason is to provide a place
for a nursery/garden center. The statement was made that there is a shortage of commercial
limitedsitesforbusinessestoexpand. Stalfrecommendeddenial,becausetheproposedusewas
allowed in the existing zone district.
Dick Stephenson asked what the adjacent uses are. Mr. McGregor responded that there was
and auto salvage facility, vacant land, rock storage facility and a commercial corridor to the
north between Hwy 82 and County Road I10.
Carl Midland, applicant, stated that his piece of property is to establish a nursery/garden
center. He noted that there is a 70 gpm spring, but he will only use 20 gpm.
Don Sullivan, agent for seller (Unocal), said that the spring that Mr. Midland was talking
about was adjudicated and was on the subject property. He also noted that Mr. Midland wants
to put a house on the 30 A/R/RD acres and wants to split part of the 44 CIL acres off and sell
it.
There was a lengthy discussion about which portions of the property should be rezoned
between the applicant and the Commission.
