PROJECT INFORMATION AND STAFF COMMENTS
I. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL . REQUEST
The Applicant is requesting an Amendment to Gronau Subdivision Exemption Lot 2. As
currently approved, the plat shows a restrictive Building Envelope around the house on
the lot, as well as an Accessory Dwelling Building Envelope. The applicant has indicated
that they would like to increase the Building Envelope, while removing the Accessory
Dwelling Building Envelope, to allow for an expansion of the deck attached to the Single-
Family House, and also to build an Accessory Structure detached from the Main
Residence.
The Gronau Subdivision Exemption was approved in 1996. Staff Research of the
proposal showed that at the time of Subdivision Exemption, there was some conversation
of the location of Building Envelopes with regards to visual impact from the adjoining
approximately 500-acre property to the east. The applicant provided documentation that
notice was completed as required in the Land Use and Development Code, including to
all property owners within 200'of the subject property. No public comments were received
on this application. While steep slopes are mentioned in the original Staff Report,
approving the exemption, the Building Envelope was not proposed to address those
issues. Any future building on the site will be required to go through a Building Permit and
will need to meet any code requirements in place at that time.
No changes to the plat are proposed other than the adjustment of the Building Envelope.
II. AUTHORITY - APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
The Amended Final Plat Application is being processed in accordance with Section 5-
305, Amended Final Plat and 4-103, Administrative Review of the Land Use and
Development Code, as amended. Public notice is required in accordance with Sections
4-103 and 4-101 and the Applicant has provided documentation that all required public
notice has been completed.
III. PUBLIC AND REFERRAL COMMENTS
No public comments were received as a result of public notice. Referral Comments
received on the Application are attached as Exhibits and summarized below:
1. Garfield Gounty Surveyor: lndicated that there were no comments
2. Garfield County Designated Engineer: Review only performed for the Amended
Plat. The Applicant should address if there are any existing utilities or easements
in the proposed building envelope. The applicant should provide a more itemized
response to the impacts in the Land Use and Development Code.
IV. STAFF ANALYSIS
1. The applicant's proposal was reviewed against the Amended Final Plat Criteria
contained in Section 5-305 (C), as follows:
a. Does not increase the number of lots; and
The proposed Amended Final Plat does not increase fhe number of lots.
b. Does not result in the major relocation of a road or add any new roads; or
The proposed Amended Final Plat will not result in a major relocation of a
road or add new roads.
c. Will correct technical errors such as surveying or drafting errors.
The Amended Final Plat has not been proposed to correct technical errors.
No conflicts with the existing underlying zoning have been noted including lot size
and setbacks.
The applicant has indicated that no changes or impacts are anticipated with
regards to Article 7 Divisions 1-3 of the Land Use and Development Code.
The Applicant provided topographic information as part of the updated Building
Envelope proposal. Any future construction will be required to meet Land Use and
Development Code requirements in place at that time. ldentifying an area inside a
Building Envelope does not guarantee the ability to construct a structure anywhere
inside the envelope.
5. The referral engineer's comments requested an itemized response to Land Use

and Development Code requirements (LUDC). An Amended Final Plat is only
required to meet criteria 5-305 (c) of the LUDC as well as address any issues
presented by the proposalwith regards to prior approvals, Any future development
on the property will be reviewed at Building Permit with regards to applicable LUDC
requirements.
6. The applicant's proposal to amend the Building Envelope is relatively minor as the
property is over 20 acres. The adjoining property owner, in the same Subdivision
Exemption, has a Building Envelope that is substantially larger than the envelope
on Lot 2. Additionally, another structure was always contemplated on Lot 2 as
demonstrated by the Accessory Dwelling Building Envelope. The applicant
supplied a demonstration that public notice requirements were met and no public
comments were received on the application. This supports the applicant's proposal
to adjust the envelope.
7. The applicant's current proposal is to move the building envelope farther away
from the adjacent property, but closer to the main residence on the site.
Additionally, the applicant indicated that where the Accessory Dwelling Unit
envelope is located is steeper than the proposed new Envelope area.
V. SUGGESTED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff supports a finding that the Amended Final Plat Application for Lot 2 of the Gronau
Subdivision Exemption meets the requirements and standards of the Garfield County
Land Use and Development Code as amended including the Review Criteria contained
in Section 5-305 (C) and is recommended for Administrative Approval by the Director of

the citizens of Garfield County.
4. That the application is in general conformance with the 2030 Comprehensive
Plan, as amended.

RE:Review of thc Amcnrled Final Plat Gronau Exemption Lot2: FPAA-05-18-8649
Dear Patrick:
This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Gronau Exernption Lot 2
Amended Final Plat Application. The submittal was lound to be thorough and well organized.
The review generated the following comments:
1. The Applicant provides no information or plans for an ADU or deck. Any future building
will need pennits and applicable approvals. This review was perfotmed for only the
amended plat and does not address any tuture construction.
2. The Applicant should address il'there al'e any existing utilities or easements in the proposed
building envelope.
3. The application materials are limited on providing inlbrmation on the impacts that the
expanded building envelope may have to tlre adjacent lands, flora, and fauna. The
Applicant should provide a more itemized response to the impacts in Divisions 1, 2, and 3
of Section 7 of the LUDC. InTpacts fi'om natural hazards, wildfire, and drainage could be
possible. Also impacts to wildlife might be a concem.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
July 20,2018
