ZONING A/R/RD (subdivision)

I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The owners of Lot 53 of the Cerise Ranch Subdivision (a currently vacant lot) request
approval to extend the previously approved building envelope that currently coincides
with the inigation ditch easement, approximately five and one half (5.5) ft. into the
existing irrigation easement at the northwest corner of the proposed residential unit
foundation and the northeast corner of the proposed garage foundation. The irrigation
easement would be adjusted accordingly to coincide with the proposed building envelope
realignment. The purpose of the proposed building envelope revision is to protect the
integrity of an existing drainage channel embankment extending along the southeast side
of the existing envelope during construction back fill operations. The building setback
distances within the lot would remain in compliance with the Garfield County
regulations. The affected adjacent property owner concurs with the easement
realignment. The Cerise Ranch HOA supported the proposed building envelope
adjustment and irrigation easement realignment.
II. AUTHORITY
Section 6:10 of the Subdivision regulations states that an amendment may be made to a
recorded plat, if such amendment does not 1) increase the number of subdivision lots or
dwelling units, or 2) result in the major relocation of a road or add new roads. This
request will not result in either of the two aforementioned standards and Staff finds these
standards are met.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Applicant has provided all required documentation and has satisfied the applicable
standards for a plat amendment. Therefore, the Planning Staff recommends that the Board
of County Commissioners, pursuant to Section 6:10 of the Subdivision Regulations of
1984, as amended, approve this amended plat request with the following conditions:
1. The owner of lot 53 would incur all liability and cost associated with the adjustment
to the irrigation ditch realignment.
2. That all representations of the Applicant, either within the application or stated at the
meeting before the Board, shall be considered conditions of approval.
3. Within 90 days of approval, the Amended Final Plat shall be reviewed (paper copy),
then signed and dated (mylar copy) by the County Surveyor, than signed and dated by
the Chairman of the Board and recorded in the Clerk and Recorder's Office of
Garfield County. The Amended Final Plat shall meet the minimum CRS standards
for land survey plats, as required by Colorado state law, and approved by the County
Surveyor and shall include, at a minimum, the information outlined in Section 5:22 of
the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations.
