AND DEVEOPMENT CODE
C. Review Criteria
An application for an Amended Final Plat shall meet the following criteria:
1. Does not increase the number of lots; and
2. Does not result in a major relocation of a road or add any new roads; or
3. Will correct technical errors such as surveying or drafting errors.
III. STAFF ANALYSIS
GENERAL
1. The Application complies with the Review Criteria contained in Section 5-305 (C)
noted as follows:
• The Application will not result in an increase in the number of lots.
• The Application will not result in the relocation of any major roads and does
not add any new roads.
2
• The proposed plat will correct and clarify past legal descriptions affecting
property.
2. The combined lot created by the amended plat will be conforming to the underlying
Residential Urban (RU) zone district which has a 7,500 sq.ft. minimum lot size. Based on
the improvement location information provided by the Applicant's surveyor and the vacant
condition of the property, no nonconforming conditions will result from the proposed plat
amendment.
3. Lots within the Cooperton Townsite are permitted to utilize on-site waste water
treatment systems (OWTS) pursuant to Table 7-105 of the Land Use and Development
Code as a legal nonconforming lot. The combined lot will be larger in overall size and
better able to accommodate development for a single family residence including an OWTS.
4. The setbacks as shown on the plat are consistent with the requirements contained
in the Land Use and Development Code for the Residential Urban zone district. However,
they are not required to be shown on the amended plat. The setbacks and delineation of a
building envelope shall be removed consistent with past direction from the County Surveyor
and County Attorney's Office.
5. No other changes are being requested and there are no changes to any easements
or utility alignments resulting from the proposed changes.
REFERRAL COMMENTS
6. The Application was referred to the County's Consulting Engineer, Chris Hale,
Mountain Cross Engineering. His comments noted the need to address whether
easements exist for the Rockford Ditch lateral that crosses the southerly portion of the
property. (see attached letter)
7. The Application was referred to the County Surveyor's Office. He noted that the
general plat notes in regard to basis of bearing, survey units, etc. are missing from this plat.
(see attached email)
TECHNICAL
8. Review of the amended plat by the County Attorney's Office will be conducted prior
to presentation of the plat for signatures. All concerns of the County Attorney's Office
including signature blocks and plat notes shall be addressed by the Applicant.
9. The plat note describing the purpose of the amended plat shall be revised to
eliminate the reference to setback dedication, revise the reference to eliminating lot lines to
read between Lots 21 -25, and reference the inclusion of the metes and bounds described
property from the Applicant's deed into the newly combined lot. The note shall read as
follows subject to final approval and editing as needed by the County Attorney's Office.
3
The purpose of this plat is to vacate the lot lines between Lots 21 — 25, Block
10 and include within the proposed combined lot that portion of the
Applicant's property described with a metes and bounds description in the
warranty deed recorded at Reception No. 872776, with the Garfield County
Clerk and Recorder.
10. The title of the Amended Plat shall be revised to replace the reference to Lots 26
and 27 with an appropriate reference to the metes and bounds described property covering
that portion of the property as contained in the owner's recorded deed.
11. The note on the draft plat describing the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad
right-of-way line, shall be amended to include reference to the Relinquishment and
Disclaimer document recorded at Reception No. 310718. The relinquished area of railroad
right of way lies within the Cooperton Townsite Plat. The proposed amended plat is an
appropriate process for documenting the combination of the properties reflected in the
Applicant's deed and the removal of the property lines associated with the platted lots.
12. All easements noted in the Applicant's Title policy shall be included on the plat. A
plat note stating that all easements have been shown on the plat shall be added and shall
reference the Applicant's Title Policy Number for the property.
13. The Applicant shall provide a letter from the ditch owner accepting that the proposal
will have no impact on their ability to maintain the ditch and that an adequate maintenance
easement is possible. An easement for the Rockford Ditch Lateral shall be included on the
plat. Any changes to the ditch associated with future development of the property shall be
subject to approval by the Ditch Company. A plat note indicating such a restriction shall be
added to the plat and subject to final review and approval by the County Attorney's Office.

RE: Cooperton — Morrissy Amended Plat: FPAA-05-16-8456
Dear Glenn:
This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Cooperton-Morrissy
Amended Plat Application. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The
review generated the following comment:
• The Applicant should further explain the relocation of the ditch that is proposed and
identify if the ditch has an associated easement that may also require relocation. The plat
does not seem to describe an easement for the ditch but may need to.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,

Hi Wyatt: I could not remember if we spoke about these referrals by phone. They both involve County Roads, one in
Cooperton and one off of County Road 100. Neither is a major project. If you have any comments please send me an
email today if possible. Thanks very much.
I've been booked up with these reviews so I'm still working on your pre -app for the Roadway Vacation on Harvey Gap
Road. I should have that to you soon. Sorry about the delay. Glenn.
