I. RELATIONSHIP TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject property is located in District F, Rural Areas
with Severe Environmental Constraints as designated on the
Comprehensive Plan Management District map.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
A. Site Description: The site is located in a rural portion
of the County with adjacent land uses primarily
agricultural, residential and open space. The site is
divided in half between meadows and slopes treed with
pinon-juniper. The only improvement on the property is
an existing metal barn.
B. Project Description: The applicant proposes to divide
the 124 acre parcel into two tracts of 114 and 10 acres
in size. The proposed 10 acre tract will be located at
the northeast corner of the parent parcel. The reason
for this request is to create a salable tract.
C. History: The existing 124 acre parcel was created in
March of 1990 by splitting a 250 acre parcel roughly in
half.
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS
1. The proposed 10 acre tract is steeply sloped, with slopes
ranging from 25% to 30%. These slopes are potentially
unstable and may be subject to subsidence. Engineered
foundations and wastewater systems should be required.
2. The parent parcel is currently traversed by an irrigation
ditch. According to the applicant, half -interest in an
existing well on adjacent property will provide domestic
water. Division of Water Resources has not responded to
staff's request for comment on this proposal.

3. County Road 107 runs parallel to and forms the eastern
boundary to a portion of the parent parcel. An access
easement from C.R. 107 to the proposed 10 acre tract
will be required. Road cuts should be limited to avoid
extensive scarring and increasing erosion potential.
4. Electric power is currently available to the property.
5. The applicant is an authorized representative of the
owner, who resides out of state.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS
1. That proper posting and public notice was provided as
required by law for the meeting before the Board of
County Commissioners.
2. That the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners
was extensive and complete, that all pertinent facts,
matters and issues were submitted and that all interested

exemption is in the best interest of the health, safety,
welfare, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and
welfare of the citizens of Garfield County.
