Subdivision of one, 2.296 acre parcel from an existing 238.757 acre parcel. WATER/SANITATION Well / Septic ZONING Rural COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Residential Medium High Density — 2 to <6 acres per dwelling unit I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL An Administrative application was submitted for a Minor Subdivision, with a request to subdivide an existing 238.757 acre parcel owned by Hermann Staufer into two parcels. The Applicant's request is to create one new 2.296 acre lot from the existing 238.757 acres which lie approximately 7 miles south of the Town of Silt on CR 311. The proposed new 2.296 acre lot is currently developed with a single family dwelling unit that is used as Agricultural Exempt Employee Housing. The existing 238.757 acre property currently contains a primary dwelling unit, an agricultural exempt employee housing unit, and a legal non -conforming dwelling unit. The primary dwelling unit was built in 2004, the agricultural exempt housing unit was built in 2002, and the non- conforming dwelling unit was built in 1972. As proposed, the primary dwelling unit (2004) and the non -conforming unit (1972) are to be located on new Lot 2 (236.461 acres), while the existing agricultural exempt employee housing unit is to be located on proposed Lot 1 (2.296 acres). As a result, no net increase in housing units from existing conditions is proposed. In addition, no new infrastructure is proposed as a result of this Minor Subdivision. A domestic well currently exists for the new 2.296 -acre parcel (Lot 1) and will continue to serve this Lot. An existing well is proposed to serve the new Lot 2. An Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) is in place and proposed to remain unchanged for both proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE The site is currently developed as a working ranch with three dwelling units as described above. The property has generally mild slopes and is split by Divide Creek. rY7LL 5 i, l Y 1 f'- ' '4•'i ^•.7'x,.. ! r L. 7, Yallay �• fr ;• S{ 1 r ti MORE�- _ s��:a=i re�es��' ,ter r ^ Y— - ~i J , [' 1 - - -•..-7 ' l Y 7 _ - • �'# Lam' r� °' rt vide 4!1.40 .'•atl R't c _ %l/ r r ,;•{fir_ f-.� �._ [• `may,• / * r _,; '3 Vicinity Map 2 West Divide Creek New Lot 2 \1/411r1Fk Existing Non- Conforming Dwelling so -,N • Existing Primary Dwelling Approx.

Section 5-301 of the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC), designates the division of land that creates no more than 3 parcels, is served by a private well or water supply entity and does not require the extension, construction, or improvement of a County right-of-way, as requiring Administrative Review. B. Section 4-103 of the LUDC sets forth the Administrative Review Procedures by which the current Application is being considered. C. Article 7 of the LUDC sets forth General approval standards in Division 1, General Resource Protection Standards in Division 2 and Site Planning and Development Standards in Division 3. Minor Subdivisions are also subject to Section 5-301(C) and 5-402(F). The standards are addressed in the Application submittals and in the Staff Analysis section of the Staff Report. V. PUBLIC AND REFERRAL COMMENTS The Applicant has provided documentation that all required notice mailings have been completed in accordance with the LUDC. No public comments were received as a result of the public notice. Referral Comments received on the Application are attached as Exhibits and summarized below: A. Garfield County Consulting Engineer, Mountain Cross Engineering (See Exhibit 8): • The site drainage improvements recommended by the engineer should be completed prior to finalization of the plat. • Water quality and pump tests for all wells should be completed prior to finalization of the plat. B. Garfield County Road and Bridge (See Exhibit 7): • Road and Bridge has no concerns with the proposal. C. Colorado River Fire Rescue (See Exhibit 10): • Fire Rescue has no concerns with the proposal. D. Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) (See Exhibit 11): • CGS provided the following comments: CGS agrees with the applicant's Article 7 Compliance Summary statement (section 7-207, page 3) that "no geologic or soils hazards have been identified in the areas of residential 6 development on the property..." CGS has no objection to the two -lot subdivision as proposed. However, we have the following concern(s): Erosion and potential slope instability. The existing homes and other structures on both proposed lots appear to be located close to the crest of the relatively steep (approximately 35%) slopes defining the eastern edge of the West Divide Creek floodplain. CGS recommends that current and future residents monitor the slopes for evidence of erosion, slumping, and shallow slope failures that could undercut or destabilize homes or other improvements. Slope protection may be needed to reduce the risk of slope instability and erosion -related hazards, especially if wildfire ever damages the vegetative cover currently protecting the slope. VI. STAFF ANALYSIS Article 7, Division 1: General Standards 1. Section 7-101: Compliance with Zone District Use Regulations The development on the property is in general conformance with the dimensional standards for the Rural zone district. The minimum lot size in the Rural zone district is 2 acres while the smallest lot proposed is 2.296 acres. 2. Section 7-102: Conformance with Comprehensive Plan and compliance with IGAs The property is located within the Residential Medium High Density — 2 to <6 acres per dwelling unit. The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan of 2030 states: LAND USE DESIGNATION Residential Medium High (RMH) DESCRIPTION Small farms, estates, and clustered residential subdivisions; density determined by degree of clustering and land preserved in open condition: 0% open land = 1 du per -6 acres 50% open land = 1 du per 4 acres 70% open land = 1 du per 2 acres Density of residential uses: 1 du per 2 to <6 acres Example: COMPATIBLE ZONING Rural (R) Planned Unit Development (PUD) IlltitiP11411:41.- 7 In accordance with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan, the subdivision should maintain a density of 1 dwelling unit per 2-6 acres. As the existing property is 238.757 acres with three dwelling units and no new dwelling units are proposed as a result of this application, the overall density of the property is expected to remain at 79.59 acres per dwelling unit. This density well exceeds that identified in the Comprehensive Plan. 3. Section 7-103: Compatibility The proposed use is located in a rural area and is unlikely to significantly alter or impact the character of the area. The areas surrounding the subject property are predominantly large acreage residential in nature or public lands with some agriculture. 4. Section 7-104: Sufficient, Adequate, Legal and Physical Source of Water The Applicant has made the following representations regarding legal and physical water to serve the subdivision: Lot 1 is served by an existing and operating well, Permit # 238032 issued by the Colorado State Engineer on March 14, 2002. A copy of this Well Permit is include with this application. Lot 2 residences and agricultural activities are served by two existing wells, Permit #s 204423 and 204424 both issued by the Colorado State Engineer on September 5, 1997. These well permits were issued for existing wells that were first put into beneficial use in 1971 and 1950 respectively. A copy of these well permits are included with this application. The Applicant requests the water quality test and production pump test requirements of this Coded be conditions of the Minor Subdivision approval with completion within one year and prior to recordation of the Final Plat. The application includes copies of an existing well permits on proposed Lot 1 and Lot 2. The well proposed to serve Lot 1 (Permit Number 238032) is legally able to serve 3 dwelling units. One dwelling unit is currently existing on Lot 1 and no additional dwelling units are proposed to be served by this well. The location of this well is also off the subject parcel, on proposed Lot 2. As a result, a 40 foot well access and maintenance easement is proposed to provide legal access from the well to the subject parcel. Proposed Lot 2 is to be served by existing wells under Permit Numbers 204423 and 204424. These well permits are each legally able to serve one dwelling unit each. As there are currently two dwelling units on this proposed Lot 2, it appears there is legal water to serve these units. 8 The Applicant has requested that water quality and quantity testing on each of these wells be conducted as a Condition of Approval. As a result, conducting these tests will be necessary following a favorable Determination by the Director. These results will also need to be reviewed and accepted by the Community Development Department and the County designated engineer prior to issuance of the Land Use Change Permit. As noted by the County designated engineer review, it is possible that additional treatment and/or water system improvements may be necessary should the results show that the wells do not perform to the required standards. Although 1 year has been requested to complete these conditions, the LUDC requires that the conditions be completed within 90 days of the final approval. 5. Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems The Applicant has indicated that all piping from the existing wells to the existing dwelling units is in place. As no further construction of additional dwelling units is proposed, it appears that all necessary water distribution is in place. Regarding wastewater, the Applicant has represented the following: Wastewater from the residence on Lot 1 is handled per the conditions of GARCO Individual Sewage Disposal Perm it # 3725 dated 10/01/02. The original ranch homestead residence burned to the ground in 1999 and was rebuilt in 2004 with a new wastewater disposal system permitted under GARCO Individual Sewage Disposal Permit # 3935. From the information provided, it appears that the primary dwelling unit on proposed Lot 2 and the dwelling unit on Lot 1 are served by County permitted wastewater treatment systems. However, a demonstration of the system that is serving the non -conforming dwelling unit was not demonstrated. As a condition of approval, staff recommends that the Applicant demonstrate how wastewater is handled by that unit. For demonstration, either a letter from an engineer stating that the system functions appropriately for the use, or a County septic (OWTS) permit will need to be provided. 6. Section 7-106: Adequate Public Utilities The Applicant states that the property is able to be served with electric and phone service. Any future extensions need to be in compliance with State requirements and inspected by the State Electrical Inspector. 7. Section 7-107: Access and Driveways a. The application was referred to the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department (see attached Exhibit 7). Dan Goin of Garfield County Road and Bridge indicated that since the proposed subdivision is not expected to result in any additional dwelling units, Road and Bridge has no concerns with the 9 proposal. b. The Applicant has supplied information demonstrating how the driveway meets the design standards found in Section 7-107. 8. Section 7-108: Natural Hazards The Application represents that there are no natural hazards on the site that would impact the proposed development. The Application also represents that "All residences are 40 to 60 feet above the creek." The application was reviewed by the CGS (See Exhibit 11). CGS provided the following comments: CGS agrees with the applicant's Article 7 Compliance Summary statement (section 7-207, page 3) that "no geologic or soils hazards have been identified in the areas of residential development on the property..." CGS has no objection to the two -lot subdivision as proposed. However, we have the following concern(s): Erosion and potential slope instability. The existing homes and other structures on both proposed lots appear to be located close to the crest of the relatively steep (approximately 35%) slopes defining the eastern edge of the West Divide Creek floodplain. CGS recommends that current and future residents monitor the slopes for evidence of erosion, slumping, and shallow slope failures that could undercut or destabilize homes or other improvements. Slope protection may be needed to reduce the risk of slope instability and erosion -related hazards, especially if wildfire ever damages the vegetative cover currently protecting the slope. To this end, Staff recommends a condition that the current and future homeowners monitor the slopes of West Divide Creek for erosion, slumping and shallow slope failures. 9. Section 7-109: Fire Protection The Application was referred to the Colorado River Fire Rescue. Comments from Orrin Moon of Colorado River Fire Rescue are attached as Exhibit 10. Mr. Moon indicated that the fire district has no concerns with the proposal. Article 7, Division 2: General Resource Protection Standards 10. Section 7-201 Agricultural Lands Staff understands that the proposed Lot 1 is not currently in agricultural production. 10 Proposed Lot 2 is currently a working ranch that is anticipated to remain as such into the future. As a result, it is not anticipated that the proposed development would adversely affect existing or neighboring agricultural uses. The application represents the following regarding impact on agricultural lands: A. The subdivision does not alter the current agricultural operations on the property. A Note is included on the Final Plat regarding "Right to Farm" protections. B. The Final Plat includes a note regarding control of dogs. C. The existing residence on the new lot is surrounded by appropriate agricultural fencing. No new fencing is proposed relative to the Minor Subdivision. D. No new roads or driveways are proposed. Driveways serving Lot 1 are permitted by GARCO Driveway Permits No. 22 and 23. E. Historic irrigation ditch easements are identified by note on the Final Plat with Book and Page references to GARCO Public Records. One ditch originates at a head gage on West Divide Creek at the northerly end of the property. Another ditch on westerly side of the property has not been used for many years. Irrigation ditches serving the subject property do not deliver water to downstream users. There will be no change to the existing drainage and stormwater runoff patterns. 11. Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas Since no further development is proposed as a result of this subdivision, no new impacts to wildlife is expected. This application was referred to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, however no comments were received. 12. Section 7-203 Protection of Waterbodies West Divide Creek runs through proposed Lot 2. The Applicant has represented that "Existing structures on Lot #2 are in excess of 200 feet from the nearest water body, West Divide Creek. The residence on Lot #1 is in excess of 500 feet from the creek. No disturbance of existing surface conditions or vegetation are proposed." As a result, no impact to waterbodies is anticipated. 13. Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion The Applicant has provided a topographic map of the subject property that shows general positive drainage. The Applicant's engineer has indicated that drainage concerns do exist around the existing home on proposed Lot 1 (Letter from Brent Lewis, PE, dated February 24, 2017). A letter was subsequently received from Bruce Lewis of 11 Boundaries Unlimited, Inc. (See Exhibit 11) indicating that all identified drainage issues have been corrected. The application also states that "No disturbance of existing surface conditions is proposed. Stormwater runoff from existing gravel driveways and buildings will flow over several hundred feet of vegetated surfaces before reaching the local stream." 14. Sections 7-205 Environmental Quality No water or air quality issues are anticipated from the proposed project. 15. Section 7-206 Wildfire Hazards The subject property is identified as Low according to Map 7, Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). In addition, no slopes over 30% have been identified and no fire chimneys are known to exist on the property. To this end, Staff feels that wildfire danger on this property is within manageable levels. 16. Section 7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards As noted in Section 8 of this Staff Report, the natural and geologic hazards identified on the subject property are within a manageable range. 17. Section 7-208 Reclamation No disturbance is anticipated as a result of the creation of the proposed subdivision. As a result, a reclamation plan is not applicable. Article 7, Division 3, Site Planning and Development Standards 18. Section 7-301 Compatible Design: The proposed 2.296 -acre lot and use are generally compatible with surrounding residential and agricultural land uses. 19. Section 7-302 Off- Street Parking and Loading Standards: The Applicant has demonstrated through site plans that adequate off-street parking exists. 20. Sections 7-303 Landscaping Standards: The LUDC specifically exempts single family dwelling units from Section 7-303. 21. Section 7-304 Lighting: 12 All exterior lighting will need to be downcast and comply with County standards. 22. Section 7-305 Snow Storage Standards: Adequate snow storage exists on the property. 23. Section 7-306 Trail and Walkway Standards: No recreational or community facility access areas are proposed. Article 5, Division 3, Minor Subdivision Review 24. Section 5-301(C)(1): It complies with the requirements of the applicable zone district and this Code. As proposed, the subdivision complies with the Rural zone district. 25. Section 5-301(C)(2): It is in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. See Section 2, above. 26. Section 5-301(C)(3): Shows satisfactory evidence of a legal, physical, adequate, and dependable water supply for each lot. See Section 4, above. 27. Section 5-301(C)(4): Satisfactory evidence of adequate and legal access has been provided. See Section 7, above. 28. Section 5-301(C)(5): Any necessary easements including, but not limited to, drainage, irrigation, utility, road, and water service have been obtained. An easement to allow for legal access to the water well serving proposed Lot 1 is identified on the plat. 29. Section 5-301(C)(6): The proposed Subdivision has the ability to provide an adequate sewage disposal system. See Section 5, above. 13 30. Section 5-301(C)(7): Hazards identified on the property such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, steep slopes, rockfall and poor soils, shall be mitigated, to the extent practicable. See Sections 8 and 15, above. 31. Section 5-301(C)(8): Information on the estimated probable construction costs and proposed method of financing for roads, water distribution systems, collection systems, storm drainage facilities and other such utilities have been provided. No necessary construction costs have been identified. 32. Section 5-301(C)(9): All taxes applicable to the land have been paid, as certified by the County Treasurer's Office. The Applicant will need to obtain the signature of the County Treasurer on the final plat indicating that taxes have been paid. This must be accomplished prior to the BOCC signing the plat. 33. Section 5-301(C)(10): All fees, including road impact and school land dedication fees, shall be paid. As the dwelling unit currently exist and no new dwelling units are proposed, road and school impact fees are not applicable to this subdivision. Road impact fees will be applied at the time any additions or additional dwelling units are permitted and constructed. 34. Section 5-301(C)(11): The Final Plat meets the requirements per section 5- 402.F., Final Plat. Staff suggests that the following corrections be made to the plat as a condition of approval. The name and address of the mineral owners shall be shown on the plat. There shall be no color on the plat. The vicinity map shall be black and white only.

Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 39.4514, -107.6204 Karen Berry State Geologist Subject: Eagle's View Ranch Minor Subdivision File Number I LISA -12-16-8505; Garfield County, CO: CGS Unique No. GA -17-0007 Dear Mr. Pesnichak: Colorado Geological Survey has reviewed the Eagle's View Ranch minor subdivision referral. I understand the applicant proposes to subdivide approximately 239 acres located at 9109 and 9354 County Road 311, about 6.5 miles south of Silt, creating two lots. Proposed Lot 1, 2.3 acres, contains an existing ranch employee's residence. Proposed Lot 2, 236.5 acres, contains the owner's residence and a second ranch employee's residence. CGS agrees with the applicant's Article 7 Compliance Summary statement (section 7-207, page 3) that "no geologic or soils hazards have been identified in the areas of residential development on the property..." CGS has no objection to the two -lot subdivision as proposed. However, we have the following concern(s): Erosion and potential slope instability. The existing homes and other structures on both proposed lots appear to be located close to the crest of the relatively steep (approximately 35%) slopes defining the eastern edge of the West Divide Creek floodplain. CGS recommends that current and future residents monitor the slopes for evidence of erosion, slumping, and shallow slope failures that could undercut or destabilize homes or other improvements. Slope protection may be needed to reduce the risk of slope instability and erosion -related hazards, especially if wildfire ever damages the vegetative cover currently protecting the slope. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have questions or need further review, please call me at (303) 384-2643, or email carlson@mines.edu. Jill 'Carlson, C.E.G.
