Narrative for Pioneer Point Subdivision, Garfield County, Colorado
My wife Amelia and I bought our property on Missouri Heights in 1980. We built our
house here some 25 years ago with our own hands. We raised our six children in it.
Going through the Garfield County guest house process, and obtaining a Special Use
Permit, we built our home. Since our house had the guest house status, our oldest son
Thad, again with his own hands, was able to build his house on our property.
Our land is about 6-3/4 acres. Our intent is to subdivide our land into three 2+ acre
lots, with the average density of 2.234 acres per lot. We currently have an amendment
to the Garfield County comprehensive plan map, permitted to us by the Planning
Commission, allowing the potential for us to do this. We also are asking that the
existing guest house on the future Lot 3 have its designation changed to a primary
residence upon the recording of the final plan.
It was no small feat for us to obtain this approval. We proved to the County that we had
adequate access and infrastructure, including water uses for three single family
dwellings.
Our intent is to have our house on one lot, Thad's house on one lot, and be able to
develop the third lot. As you can see, this is a very minor subdivision, essentially adding
just one home. All of the surveys, maps, soils reports, and other related documents
required to go with our Preliminary Plan Application form, have been provided to the
Planning Department.
If there is anything else needed, we will be glad to accommodate the best we can.
We simply ask for you to help us move forward with our plans.
Thank you very much!
Roger B. and Amelia Eshelman
