PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
I. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL . REQUEST
The Applicant is requesting a Public / County Road Split Exemption to subdivide a 35.064
acre parcelto create a24.406 acre parcel located west of County Road 319 and a 10.658
acre parcel located east of County Road 319. The two new parcels would be split by
County Road 319. The two parcels are to be served by an existing central water system,
individual wastewater disposal systems, and are proposed to maintain existing access
points to CR 319. The current parcel is identified as Parcel Number 217726100517. The
property is within the Rural Zone District. There are currently 4 industrial buildings on the
property that have been permitted by 2 separate Special Use Permits issued in 2004
(Resolution 2004-109, Parcel Number 217723400160 - Lazier) and 2006 (Resolution
2006-55, Parcel Number 217723400512 - Mamm Creek Commons). As the parcel has
been split and the boundaries have been adjusted over the years, the Permits are tagged
to different parcel numbers from the one that applies to the parcel today. lt appears that
Building Permits and Certificates of Occupancy have also been issued for each of the
buildings on the property. Following review of the proposed subdivision exemption and
the existing conditions, it appears that no noncolrforming conditions have been noted that
would result from the new Lot.

III. STAFF ANALYSIS
1. The Applicant's proposal was reviewed against the Public / County Road Split
Exemption Criteria contained in Section 5-202, as follows:
a. The right-of-way prevents ioint use of affected, proposed lots;
The proposed Lot 1 is split from Lot 2 by County Road 319. The 24.406 acre
proposed Lot 1 is currently developed with 2 office and industrial buildings
permitted under Special Use Permit (Resolution 2006-55) while the 10.658
acre Lot 2 is developed with a separate 2 office and industrial buildings
permitted by another Special Use Permit (Resolution 2004-109). While all

four buildings are served by a centralwell, they are each served by separate
Onsite Wastewater Disposal Systems (OWTS). The application represents
that the presence of the road has prevented the two operations from
operating jointly. Based on this representation, it is Staff's opinion that the
right-of-way prevents joint use of the affected, proposed lots.
b. The proposed exemption lats have a sufficient legal and physical source of
water pursuant to section 7-104, Source of Water.
Section 7-104 of the LUDC states
AII applications for Land Use Change Permits shall have an
adequate, reliable, physical, Iong-term, and legalwater supply
to serue the use, except for land uses that do not require
water, or that contain Temporary Facilities serued by a
Iicensed water hauler.
It is understood that all four buildings developed on the existing parcel are
provided water from a centralwell. This well sits on a separate parcel to the
north and west of CR 319. The applicant has provided documentation in the
form of recorded Codes, Covenants and Restrictions from the managing
association that provide for water sharing, maintenance, and necessary
easements for the offsite infrastructure. Based on Staff review, it appears
these documents provide legal access to this infrastructure as well as
appropriate sharing and maintenance provisions.
The application was referred to Colorado Division of Water Resources
(DWR) (See Exhibit 8) who provided the following feedback.
Permit no. 75546-F was rssued on September 22, 2011 for
use of an existing well, pursuant to an approved plan for
augmentation through the West Divide Water Conseruancy
District, in accordance with contract #110721PO(a).The use
of ground water from this well is limited to fire protection,
drinking and sanitary facilities rnsrde not more than 40,650
square-feet of commercial busrness units, and washing of
equipment and vehicles. The pumping rate shall not exceed
35 gpm. The annual amount of ground water to be
appropriated shall not exceed 10.5 acre-feet. The well was
constructed August 18, 2003 and pump installed September
10, 2004. Well permit no. 75546-F,s valid. lt appears that the
applicant is not proposing any new water uses and approved
uses for well permit no. 75546-F are consistent with the
proposed uses.
4lPage
The application was also referred to the County Designated Engineer (See
Exhibit 6) who provided the following comments regarding water supply.
1. The application materials did not provide any information
on the productivity of the well. The Applicant should provide a
four-hour pump test.
2. The application materials did not provide any information
on the quality of the water. The Applicant should provide
resulfs of a water quality analysis of the wellwater.
ln addition, the Applicant has provided the following explanation regarding
the current status of the system and a response to the lack of water quality
and quantity testing of the well.
As described in Exhibit J, the Association's water system was
until recently classified as a public system (Public Water
System lD C00223500) under CDPHE's jurisdiction.
Accordingly, frequent water quality tests were filed with
CDPHE. ln 2015, the Public Water System became inactive
due to lack of users, but undersigned has since reactivated
the system as a Transient, Non-Community, Ground Water
Public Water System. A copy of the Water Quality Control
Division Safe Drinking Water lnformation System (SDWIS)
lnactivation Form, the recent CDPHE reapplication forms, and
a November 17, 2017 letter from CDPHE confirming the
system's reactivation as a Public Water System are attached
as Exhibit R. RCP understands that the water system is now
outside of the County's jurisdiction since it is permitted
through CDPHE, such that the testing requirements outlined
in your September 22letter are no longer applicable.
Simply because the water source is permitted by the CDPHE does not make
the system outside the County's jurisdiction. Rather, the system is subject
to both State and County regulations. According to the LUDC, Section 7-
104, Source of Water:
The BOCC, pursuant to C.R.S. S 29-20-301, et seq., shall not
approve an application for a Land Use Change Permit,
including divisions of land, unless it determines in its sole
discretion, after considering the application and all of the
information provided, that the Applicant has satisfactorily
-demonstrated that the proposed water supply will be
adequate.
5lPage
Based on the BOCC authority to determine, in its sole discretion, that the
proposed water supply will be adequate, the LUDC requires that the
applicant provide either:
1. Water Supply Entity. Should the water system qualify as a Water Supply
Entity as defined in Division '15 of the LUDC, then the Applicant will need
to supply a "letter prepared by the engineer of the Water Supply Entity,
stating whether the Water Supply Entity is willing to commit and has the
ability to provide an Adequate Water Supply for the proposed
development. (Section 4-203(M)(1)(a))" This letter must include allof the
components as required in Section 4-203(MX1Xa) of the LUDC. The
LUDC defines a Water Supply Entity as "A municipality, county, special
district, water conservancy district, water conservation district, water
authority, or other public or private water supply company that supplies,
distributes, or othenryise provides water at retail, as provided in C.R.S. $
29-20-302(2)."
2. Private Well. Should the water supply not qualify as a Water Supply
Entity, then the applicant will need to comply with the provisions within
Section 4-203(MX1)(b) or (c) based on the identified average daily
demand of the entire system. Both of the aforementioned sections
require a water quantity pump test (4-hour) and a water quality test for
the identified contaminants.
The information provided as a result of this response should be reviewed
by the Garfield County Community Development Department and the
County designated engineer. Demonstration of adequacy is to be
demonstrated prior to the Board signature on the Plat. Staff recommends a
condition of approval that the Applicant provide this information for review
and acceptance.
c. The proposed exemption lots have adequate sewage disposal system
pursuant to section 7-105, Central Water Distribution and Wastewater
Sysfems.
Section 7-105 of the LUDC states
The land use shall be serued by a water distribution system
that is adequate to serue the proposed use and density.
The application includes County approved permits for the OWTSs serving
the existing uses on the existing parcel. lt appears that these permits are
valid. To this end, it appears that wastewater is being handled at the site in
accordance with County regulations.
6lPage
d. The proposed exemption lots have legal and adequate access pursuant to
section 7-107, Access and Roadways.
The proposed Lot 1 and 2 both border County Road 319. As a result, access
to the property is available from this County Road. The Applicant proposes
to utilize the existing access points onto the County road. This application
was referred to Garfield County Road and Bridge who indicated that the
current access points do not meet code (See Exhibit 10). Specifically, the
driveways do not have concrete or asphalt pads that are required on a hard
surface road. As a result, Staff recommends a condition of approvalthat the
property owner obtain all necessary driveway and access permits from
Garfield County Road and Bridge and complete all improvements prior to
Board signature on the Plat.
e. The Final Plat meets the requirements per section 5-402.F., Final Plat.
Staff has reviewed the proposed Plat for compliance with Section 5-a02(F)
of the LUDC. The draft plat was reviewed by the Garfield County Surveyor
who indicated he has no comments (See Exhibit 7). Staff recommends the
following changes be made to the plat prior to Board signature.
1. Title. Provide a more descriptive title such as "Rifle Commercial Park
Public / County Road Split Exemption". This updated title should also be
reflected in the Certificate of Dedication and Ownership and the
Surveyors Certificate.
2. Remove Color. The digital copy of the plat includes color. When
recorded all color becomes black. As a result, please be sure the final
Mylar version is printed black and white only to ensure legibility after
recording.
3. Surface and Mineral Owners. Add the names and addresses of all
surface and mineral owners on the plat.
4. Remove lmprovements. While showing physical improvements on the
plat is helpful for application review, these should be removed from the
final Mylar version. Please remove all driveways, buildings, and parking
areas. The Mylar must include all encumbrances, including easements.
5. Title Commitment Reference. Please add the title commitment number
used to identify all encumbrances on the property.
6. Lienholder Certificate. lf there is a lienholder on the property, please add
the lienholder certificate.
7. Boundary Line Adjustments. lt is noted that a number of Boundary Line
Adjustments (BLA) have occurred that impact this property. Please
identify all BLA reception numbers on the plat.
2. No conflicts with the existing underlying zoning have been noted including lots size
and setbacks.
TlPage
3. The Application was referred to the County Surveyor, who identified no issues with
the proposed plat (See Exhibit 8).
4. The Application was referred to the County Vegetation Manager, who noted the
following (See Exhibit 9).
Noxious Weeds
. Map, lnventory, and Treatment PIan
Sfaff reguesfs that the applicant submit a noxious weed map or
inventory, and weed treatment plan for ail Gartieb County listed
noxious weed found on the entire parcel.
The treatment plan shall address a timeframe for treatment
. The main area of concern is the part of the property that borders
Dalbo.Ih,s rs the southeast portion of the Commercial Park property.
There is a large infestation of the county listed noxious weed, musk
thistle, along the fence between both properties. Dalbo was
contacted in 2017 and will be notified again in 2018.
Staff recommends a condition of approval that the applicant meet with Garfield
County Vegetation Management to address the noxious weed issues on the
subject parcel. Satisfaction of these issues should be provided by Vegetation
Management prior to Board signature on the plat.
5. The Application was referred to the County Designated Engineer, who identified
thefollowing issues in addition tothose noted in section 1.b., above (See Exhibit
6).
3. Design information was provided on the septic sysfems that were
installed. Srnce the installation was some time ago, it would be
recommended to have the septic sysfems reviewed to verify that they
are in good repair and operating correctly.
4. The Applicant should provide information on the site grading and
drainage to verify that there are no problems with grading and that
positive drainage is achieved.
ln response to these comments, Staff notes that the OWTSs have valid County
issued permits and have been represented to be functioning appropriately. As a
result, Staff does not recommend any further action.
ln addition, all buildings on the existing parcel have been shown to have building
permits issued by Garfield County. Staff understands that there have not been any
SlPage
major changes to the areas since these permits were issued. Further, no additional
development is proposed as a result of this subdivision. As a result, grading and
drainage around the buildings where problems could occur were evaluated at the
time of building permit and Staff does not recommend any further action regarding
grading and drainage on the site.
6. The Application was referred to the County Road and Bridge Department, who
noted that the accesses onto the County Road are not up to code (See Exhibit 10).
As noted previously, Staff recommends a condition of approval that the applicant
obtain access permits from Road and Bridge and construct all required
improvements prior to Board signature on the plat.
7. The Applicant submitted Certified Mail Receipts indicating that public notice was
conducted as required. No public comments from adjacent property owners were
received by the Community Development Department in response to the public
notice. Staff has reviewed the Applicants representations and evidence regarding
public notice and it appears the requirements have been adequately satisfied.

Dear Mr. Pesnichak,
We have reviewed the information provided for the above referenced proposal to
subdivide approx¡mately 35 acres into two parcels (divided by County Road 319) of approximately 24
acres and 11 acres. This referral does not appear to qualify as a "subdivision" as defined in Section
30-28-101(1QXa) C.R.S. Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 memorandum to
county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and
provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for
this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. ln
addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or
infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water.
Currently, the property is used for commercial purposes, including office and warehousing
uses, and storage of oil and gas drilling equipment. The two parcels are to be served by an existing
central water system. The property utilizes a shared well, permit no. 75546-F, which is located on the
neighboring parcel (#2177234000512). According to the submittalthe applicant anticipates that the
properties will continue to use the existing water supply after the split.
Permit no. 75546-F was issued on September 22,2011 for use of an existing well, pursuant to
an approved plan for augmentation through the West Divide Water Conservancy District, in
accordance with contract #110721PO(a).The use of ground water from this well is limited to fire
protection, drinking and sanitary facilities inside not more than 40,650 square-feet of commercial
business units, and washing of equipment and vehicles. The pumping rate shall not exceed 35 gpm.
The annual amount of ground water to be appropriated shall not exceed 10.5 acre-feet. The well was
constructed August 18, 2003 and pump installed September 10,2004. Well permit no. 75546-F is
valid. lt appears that the applicant is not proposing any new water uses and approved uses for well
permit no. 75546-F are consistent with the proposed uses.

RE: Rifle Commercial Park - Public County Road Split - Referral RequestSubject:
David,
After reviewing the application for file#09-17-8579 Rifle Commercial Park the visibility is good but the Driveways are not
up to code there is a small kick out on the driveways but they do not have the concrete or asphalt pads that are
required on a hard surface road.
