LOS AMIGOS PUD/PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SUBDIVISION #2 FILINGS 1, 2, & 3 (A reptat of
the initially approved Subdivision #12)
Paul Mannino asked for the proof of publications and certified mailing receipts of
the applicants. They were produced later in the meeting. Mr. Mannino reviewed the
history of the project for subdivision of 201.6 acres into 53 single family lots, located
along State Highway 82 and County Road 114; the area known as Spring.:Valley. He read
the recommendations and concerns of the planning staff.
Terry Howard, Garfield County Sanitarian, addressed the Planning Commission regarding
his recommendation to have all lots within the subdivision #2 served by the Spring Valley
Sanitation District. He stated that very few of the proposed septic systems could be
standard in the area for Los Amigos. Most would have to be engineered and even then it
would be difficult. Also, part of the proposed subdivision #2 is within the Spring Valley
Sanitation system.
John Blair, of the Colorado Department of Health, stated that a conventional system
will not work in the Los Amigos PUD. Every system must be engineered, if a tie-in with
the Spring Valley Sanitation District is not possible.
Walter Brown, representing the Los Amigos PUD, addressed the concerns of the planning
staff. He stated that the boundary dispute between the Kindalls and the Muhrs was being
resolved and illustrated what property was being exchanged between the parties.
John Stanford and Dean Gordon gave their presentations. Dean Gordon said that the
sewage plan proposed is divided into 2 parts. For the gravity fed portion within the
limits of the sanitation district of the property, there will be central sewage to be
served by the district. The portion outside the district and also within the district but
not able to get in by gravity would be served by individual systems. He gave a presentation
on the proposals' for the proposed septic systems.
Greg Hoskins, a water attorney, addressed the Planning Commission on why evapotranspir-
ation septic systems were needed.
Mr. Stranger asked if the situation concerning water on the initial Filing #2 was
such that the State Division of Water Resources didn't require a plan of augmentation
since they had water rights.
Mr. Hoskins replied that this was true.
Bill Bowden, of Colorado Mountain College, wanted to make sure that the sewage supply
commitment previously granted to CMC by spring Valley Sanitation District for an additional
48 units would be protected. He didn't want the Los Amigos PUD to take the sewage treat-
ment committed to CMC and the first filing of Los Amigos.
Dick Martin stated that he felt that the agreement for the 48 additional units for
CMC should be honored.
Mr. Hoskins said that there is a contract that Mr. Bowden should have a copy of stating
that Los Amigos has agreed to expand the system should the water for the additional
48 units for CMC be used by Los Amigos.
Bob Emerson, an attorney for Foster Petrolium, asked if this subdivision of Los Amigos
is in the Springs Valley District boundary or do they have to contract into the system.
Dean Gordon thought they were in the boundary of the district.
Dale McPherson was concerned as to how the Planning Commission could possibly enforce
the Los Amigos PUD to expand the Spring Valley Sanitation District should they use the
capacity available and waiting for CMC to build their additional units.
Mr. Hoskins reiterated that it was all in the contract.
Earl Rhodes stated that contractual obiligation is binding.
Barbara Lorah asked John Blair how well evapotranspiration systems work.
Mr. Blair said that the systems work as well as the people who design them and went
on to explain the system.
Allan Bowles was appointed to vote.
Bill Bowden requested that the college be in on any negotiations involved between the
Los Amigos PUD and the Planning Department.
Barbara Lorah moved to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners
of the Los Amigos PUD Filing #2 with the following conditions:
icant and approved bythe state
1. That a plan for augmentation be developed by the app_ pP rove
Division of Water Resources prior to Filing #3 of Subdivision #2 final plat;

Spring Valley Sanitation District;
5. That the applicant exhibit to the satisfaction of the Board of 'County Commissioners
