Residential Medium, 6-10 Acres per
Dwelling Unit
I. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL
The Applicant has submitted an Administrative application for a Minor Subdivision with
a request to subdivide a 34.95 acre parcel into 17.5 and 17.45 acre parcels. The
property was split by deed in 1992, by a different property owner than either of the
current owners. As the lot split never went through a Subdivision or a Subdivision
Exemption process with the County it is considered an illegal Subdivision. The
applicants have submitted the application to remedy this issue.
Both parcels are improved with existing single-family residences and permitted OWTS'.
Access is via County Road 100 and a shared driveway. Both dwellings use water from
a shared well.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SITE
The property is gently sloped and vegetated with sage brush. It is located in Missouri
Heights, at approximately 7,000 feet in elevation. An irrigation ditch crosses both
properties. The single-family homes on both properties have been issued Building
Permits. The dwelling on the Betts property was built in 2006 (Building Permit 10013)
and the dwelling on the RGKMBK property was built in 1993 (Building Permit 4667).

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 Site Planning and Development
Standards in Division 3, and Subdivision Standards and Design Specifications in
Division 4. 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. Colorado Geological Survey (Exhibit 7): Has no objection to approval of the
two -lot minor subdivision application as submitted, however they did note
potential issues with ground subsidence in the area.

Garfield County Environmental Health, Bureau of Land Management, Missouri Heights
Meadow Irrigation Company, and Holy Cross Energy
VI. STAFF ANALYSIS
Article 7, Division 1: General Standards
1. Section 7-101: Compliance with Zone District Use Regulations
The proposed subdivision is in general conformance with the dimensional standards of
the Rural zone district. The minimum lot size in that zone district is 2 acres. The smallest
lot in the proposed subdivision is 17.45 acres. Based on the applicant's site plan
submittal, structures on the site are compliant with building setback requirements. The
submittal did show a pump house and well in the setback. Staff's site visit indicated that
the pump house is relatively small in height and functions as part of a utility similar to
electric utilities that are routinely placed in setbacks.
2. Section 7-102: Conformance with Comprehensive Plan and Compliance with
IGAs
The property is designated as Residential Medium in the Comprehensive Plan. This
means that the suggested density is 6-10 acres per dwelling unit. The proposed
subdivision achieves approximately 17.5 acres per dwelling unit. The proposal is in
general conformance with the comprehensive plan.

Density of residential uses: 1 du per 6 to < 10 acres
Example:
3. Section 7-103: Compatibility
The proposed use is surrounded by rural residential parcels and is zoned Rural. The
proposed size of the subdivision lots are compatible with surrounding parcels. The
parcels are already developed with existing single-family residences, a use that is
compatible and comparable to surrounding lots. No additional development is proposed
as part of the proposed Minor Subdivision.
4. Section 7-104: Sufficient, Adequate, Legal and Physical Source of Water
The applicant has indicated that both houses on the property are served by a shared
well. The application included a permit for that well, issued in February of 1992. The
application was referred to the Division of Water Resources, who responded with the
following (Exhibit 14):
Section 37-92-602(3)(b)(III), C.R.S., requires that the cumulative effect of all
wells in a subdivision be considered when evaluating material injury to decreed
water rights. Accordingly, if the parcel is subdivided, the presumption under CRS
37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A), that there will not be material injury to the vested water
rights from such a well, will no longer apply. The source of the proposed water
supply would be from, or tributary to, the Colorado River. This area of the
Colorado River is over -appropriated; therefore, an augmentation plan is required
to offset depletions caused by the pumping of any well, including existing wells.
If the applicant intends to use the existing well, currently permitted under permit
no. 162919, to supply any of the proposed lots then pursuant to the State
Engineer's Policy 2011-1, a new well permit issued pursuant to a decreed plan
for augmentation will be required.
Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(1), C.R.S., the State Engineer offers the
opinion that due to the lack of an augmentation plan to offset out of priority
depletions from the pumping of the well, the proposed water supply plan will
cause material injury to existing water rights and is inadequate.
6
The response from the Division of Water Resources indicates that the proposed water
supply is inadequate. With this referral comment, the applicant has not demonstrated a
legal water supply for the proposed subdivision. Staff has included a suggested
condition of approval that the applicant demonstrate a legal water supply subject to
review by the County Attorney's Office and Community Development, prior to the BOCC
signature on the plat.
To demonstrate adequate water, the applicant has supplied a 4 -hour pump test of the
onsite well. This test was reviewed by the Garfield County designated engineer and no
comments were supplied. This test demonstrates adequate water for the Minor
Subdivision.
The applicant supplied a water quality test that showed the absence of coliform in the
water supply. As noted in the County designated engineer's referral comments,
additional testing is required for the remaining contaminants in the Land Use and
Development Code (Exhibit 8). The requirement for additional testing has been included
as a suggested condition of approval.
In order to allow both parcels to access the well for maintenance, the Final Plat needs
to be updated to show a well maintenance easement. The applicant has provided an
executed well sharing agreement.
5. Section 7-105: Adequate Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems
Both residences on the parcel are served by OWTS' that have been permitted by the
County. The RGKMBK Family parcel was permitted by Garfield County Permit 02064,
and the assessor's record for the residence indicates that the number of bedrooms
matches the size of the OWTS. The Betts parcel was permitted by Garfield County
Permit 10013. The OWTS was designed for 5 bedrooms and Assessor's records
indicate that only 4 bedrooms are in the residence.
The wastewater management plan was reviewed by the Garfield County Designated
Engineer and no comments were generated (Exhibit 8). The Wastewater Supply Plan
is adequate to serve the proposed use.
6. Section 7-106: Adequate Public Utilities
The applicant has indicated that adequate public utilities are available and adequate to
serve the proposed land use. The application was sent to Holy Cross Energy and no
comments were received.
7. Section 7-107: Access and Driveways
The proposed Minor Subdivision parcels are accessed off of County Road 100 and a
private road. The applicant has indicated that the private access road meets the
standards for a primitive driveway, however it is Staff's opinion that the road should
7
meet Semi -Primitive Road Standards, based off the Institute of Transportation
Engineers Trip Generation Manual trip estimate for the total number of single-family
residences that use the road. The applicant has requested a waiver from the standard.
To support the waiver request, the applicant has supplied a statement from a licensed
surveyor that states:
Regarding the access road to 7201 and 7202 County Road 100, it is this
surveyors' opinion that the road has been in use since the easement was granted
in 1986 in Book 696 at Page 334 and appears to be adequate for all existing
uses for the residences that it provides access to. 1 personally live across the
road and have witnessed trash trucks, construction vehicles, emergency vehicles
and day to day traffic and have witnessed no problems with the road's layout.
The applicant has also indicated that permanent certificates of occupancy have been
issued to both single-family homes on the property and that the road has been utilized
for the past 40 years without issue. Additionally, the applicant has indicated that the
road is, "simply legally and physically adequate for two 'additional' single family
residences".
The application included a survey that analyzed the access road from the County Road
to the parcels, for turning radius', grade, and width. The grade and all turning radius'
except one are within the requirements for the Semi -Primitive Roadway standards. The
application was reviewed by both the Garfield County designated engineer and the
Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District, neither of whom indicated any issues
(Exhibits 8 and 12). The application was also reviewed by Garfield County Road &
Bridge (Exhibit 9). They did not identify any issues.
Waiver Criteria in Section 4-118 of the LUDC requires that the Applicant demonstrate
that a waiver request:
1. It achieves the intent of the subject standard to the same or better degree than
the subject standard; and
2. It imposes no greater impacts on adjacent properties than would occur through
compliance with the specific requirements of this Code.
The intent of the Subject standard is that all roads are designed to provide for safe and
adequate access. The road has been in place and used by the property owners, since
the Certificate of Occupancy was issued for both single-family residences. The applicant
is not proposing additional traffic on the road than what already exists through single-
family residences permitted by the County. As such, it should not impose greater
impacts on adjacent properties. This includes the provision of the driveways that were
developed in association with the issued single-family dwelling building permits. The
review of the fire department, indicates that there is no issue with access to the property
for emergency services. It is staff's opinion, based on the Community Development
Director's interpretation, the applicant's representations, referral comments, and the
unique circumstances of this application, a waiver from the Roadway standards is
8
appropriate.
The applicant has demonstrated that there is legal access to the parcel based off
Access Easements recorded in County Records as Recorded Number 287265 and
375004.
8. Section 7-108: Natural Hazards
Garfield County hazard mapping does not indicate any mapped hazards on the site.
The application was reviewed by the Colorado Geological Survey (Exhibit 7). They
indicated that while they had no objections to the approval of the subdivision as
submitted. However, the review also indicated, "The applicant, owners, and potential
purchasers should be advised of the sinkhole potential, since early detection of building
distress and timely remedial actions are important factors in reducing the cost of building
repairs should an undetected subsurface void start to develop into a sinkhole."
Staff has included a suggested condition of approval that a modified version of the CGS
statement be included on the plat.
9. Section 7-109: Fire Protection
The Application was referred to the Carbondale & Rural Fire District, who did not
indicate any issues with the proposed subdivision.
Article 7, Division 2: General Resource Protection Standards
10. Section 7-201 Agricultural Lands
The proposed Subdivision should not impact existing agricultural lands. The applicant
identified that the Missouri Heights Meadow Irrigation Company was the irrigation ditch
on the property. A referral request was sent to the Company and no comments were
received. Staff does not anticipate any impact on any irrigation ditch on the property as
the single-family dwellings are already developed, with driveways in place. A plat note
has been included that states the parcels are subject to ditch and maintenance access
easements.
11. Section 7-202 Wildlife Habitat Areas
The application was referred to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, who indicated that there
should not be significant wildlife impacts from the proposal (Exhibit 13). The comments
did mention that residents should be encouraged to follow "bear aware" practices and
keep dogs from roaming free. The suggested condition of approval has been included
regarding the inclusion of an approved plat note addressing dogs off -leash. Additionally,
a Condition of Approval has been included that the applicant is encouraged to follow
bear aware practices as required by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
9
12. Section 7-203 Protection of Waterbodies
The Applicant has indicated that no waterbodies are located on the site. Staff has not
identified any water bodies and the Land Use and Development Code does not consider
irrigation ditches water bodies.
13. Section 7-204 Drainage and Erosion
The existing single-family residences were checked for positive drainage at the time
of building permit and met Building Code requirements at that time. The parcels are
17.5 and 17.45 acres and staff does not anticipate any drainage to impact adjacent
properties. The application was reviewed by the Garfield County designated engineer
and no issues were identified with Drainage or Erosion.
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 designated as Very High, in the Community Wildfire Protection
Plan — Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index. There are no known slopes of greater than
30% on the parcels. The application was reviewed by the Carbondale & Rural Fire
Protection District who indicated no issues with the application. Because the parcel is
located in an area of Very High Wildfire Hazard, the Land Use and Development Code
requires that roof materials shall be made of noncombustible materials or other
materials as recommended by the local fire agency. This has been included as a
suggested condition of approval.
16. Section 7-207 Natural and Geologic Hazards
As noted in Section 8 of this Staff Report and as identified by the Colorado Geological
Survey's Review, the potential for subsidence does exist on the property. A plat note
stating this has been included as a suggested condition of approval.
17. Section 7-208 Reclamation
No disturbance that would require reclamation is anticipated as a result of the creation
of the proposed subdivision. Both proposed parcels are already developed with single-
family residences and associated driveways. The application was reviewed by the
Garfield County Vegetation Manager who indicated that the applicant should supply a
weed inventory and a management plan for any noxious weeds on site. This has been
included as a suggested condition of approval.
Article 7, Division 3, Site Planning and Development Standards
10
18. Section 7-301 Compatible Design:
The proposed lots and use are generally compatible with surrounding land uses.
19. Section 7-302 Off- Street Parking and Loading Standards:
The Applicant has demonstrated through the application, that parking standards will be
met.
20. Sections 7-303 Landscaping Standards:
Single-family dwelling units are specifically exempted from these provisions of the code.
No further development is proposed as part of the Minor Subdivision application. The
applicant has indicated that they will be in compliance with all landscaping requirements
in 7-303 (C).
21. Section 7-304 Lighting:
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 and as such a
pedestrian connection is not feasible.
Article 7, Division 4, Subdivision Standards and Design Specifications
24. Section 7-401 General Subdivision Standards
The proposed Final Plat shows that a portion of the well may be located outside of the
utility and access easement. A suggested condition of approval has been included that
the applicant update the Final Plat to show a well easement that allows access to the
well head and associated infrastructure for both properties.
The applicant included a well sharing agreement for the well on the property. The well
sharing agreement was for two parcels that were 17.4475 acres. The application states
that one parcel is 17.45 acres and the other is 17.5. Staff has included a suggested
condition of approval that the applicant address the discrepancy in parcel acreage.
The applicant has provided covenants that detail the maintenance of the shared
roadways. This document was originally recorded at the Garfield County Clerk and
Recorder with Reception No. 287265 and amended by Reception No. 441983 and
11
463512.
25. Section 7-402 Subdivision Lots
No issues with lot configuration pursuant to this section have been noted.
26. Section 7-403 Survey Monuments
Compliance with these requirements will be confirmed through referral of the final draft
of the plat to the County Surveyor's Office.
27. Section 7-404 School Land Dedication
The applicant represented that a school impact fee was paid as part of the building
permit for the Kadair parcel in 1993 (Building Permit No. 4667). Staff agrees with this
assessment as the plan review sheet shows a fee of $200. The applicant also
represents that a similar fee was likely collected by the County as part of the Building
Permit for the Betts parcel. The permit for the Betts parcel does not demonstrate that a
school fee was paid at that time.
Staff has included a suggested condition of approval that the applicant either provide
additional evidence, acceptable to Community Development, that a school impact fee
was paid, or provide payment as required by the Land Use and Development Code.
The property is located in the RE -1 School District, which means the Payment -in -Lieu
of Dedication of School Land would be required per Section 7-404.C.2 and 3 of the Land
Use and Development Code. The applicant did request a waiver from this requirement,
but based on available information, staff does not support a waiver request being
granted.
28. Section 7-405 Road Impact Fees
The applicant requested a waiver from this standard. Applicable Road Impact Fees are
required at the time of building permit and no development is proposed as part of the
application. Any future development will be subject to road impact fees.

Dear Mr. Waller:
Colorado Geological Survey has reviewed the above -referenced minor subdivision referral. I understand the
applicants seek a legal, two -lot subdivision of approximately 35 acres located at 7201 and 7202 County Road
100, in the Missouri Heights area northeast of Carbondale. Both proposed lots are currently improved with
single-family residences, onsite wastewater systems, and a shared well. CGS has no objection to approval of
the two -lot minor subdivision application as submitted.
According to Garfield County geologic hazard mapping, the site is located within an area of "Low hazard,
expansive or corrosive soil, soil creep, PUS [potentially unstable slopes]." Since the site does not contain
significant slopes, the soil creep and PUS hazards are probably not applicable. However:
Subsidence hazard. According to available geologic mapping (Geologic Map of the Carbondale Quadrangle,
Garfield County, Colorado: CGS, 2008, Map Series 36, scale 1:24,000), the site is underlain by collapse
deposits, formed in response to differential collapse resulting from dissolution of underlying evaporite.
Sinkholes, subsidence and ground deformation due to collapse of solution cavities and voids are an ongoing
concern in this area. Ground subsidence related to the dissolution of evaporite bedrock is an unpredictable
risk that should not be ignored.
The applicant, owners, and potential purchasers should be advised of the sinkhole potential, since early
detection of building distress and timely remedial actions are important factors in reducing the cost of
building repairs should an undetected subsurface void start to develop into a sinkhole.
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.
Sincerely,
Jill'Carlson, C.E.G.

Hey Patrick,
I got a chance to look at the proposed parcels on my GIS and due to the existing structures on the
lots, there should not be significant wildlife impacts from this proposal. As always, we encourage
residents to follow "bear aware" practices and keep their dogs from roaming free. Let us know if
there's any specific info that would be helpful.
Thanks,

Hi Taylor and Scott,
I realized I forgot to send this over to you. It is a proposal for a Minor Subdivision (2 -lots) on Missouri
Heights. The single-family residences are already developed. Not sure if you all have any comments, but I
figured I would shoot it over. Apologies for not giving the full referral time, but it would be great if you have
any comments by Wednesday. If you don't have any that is great as well.

Section 18, Twp. 7S, Rng. 87W, 6th PM
Water Division 5, Water District 38
Dear Mr. Waller
We have reviewed the above -referenced proposal to allow the subdivision of a
parcel of approximately 35 acres into two residential lots of approximately 17.5 acres each.
The project's addresses are 7202 and 7201 County Road 100, Carbondale, 81623. The water
supply for the two lots is from an existing shared well and each lot has an individual OWTS.
The types of water use and estimated amounts for each use were not provided, though, per
the referral materials, there are two existing single family residences, one built in 1993 and
the other in 2007.
The water for the two lots is provided by a shared well, currently permitted under
well permit no. 162919. Permit no. 162919 was issued pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-
602(3)(b)(II)(A) on February 12, 1999 to construct a well under the condition that the well is
the only well on a tract of land of 35.08 acres. The use of the welt is limited to ordinary
household purposes in up to three single family dwellings, fire protection, the watering of
poultry, domestic animals, and livestock on a farm or ranch, and the irrigation of not over
one acre of home gardens and lawns. The well was constructed on March 5, 1993 to a depth
of 260 feet.
The applicant submitted a report prepared by Samuelson Pump Co., Inc., dated
November 28, 2017 indicating that a four hour pump test was performed on the well serving
the residence at 7201 County Road 100. According to the report, the well was drawn down
from the standing water level of 190.82 feet to 191.01 feet during the four hour test and
recovered back to the 190.82 foot level within three minutes. The test indicates that the
well is capable of producing over 24 gallons per minute.
Section 37-92-602(3)(b)(III), C.R.S., requires that the cumulative effect of all wells
in a subdivision be considered when evaluating material injury to decreed water rights.

Page 2 of 2
Accordingly, if the parcel is subdivided, the presumption under CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A),
that there will not be material injury to the vested water rights from such a well, will no
longer apply. The source of the proposed water supply would be from, or tributary to,
the Colorado River. This area of the Colorado River is over -appropriated; therefore, an
augmentation plan is required to offset depletions caused by the pumping of any well,
including existing wells. If the applicant intends to use the existing well, currently
permitted under permit no. 162919, to supply any of the proposed lots then pursuant to
the State Engineer's Policy 2011-1, a new welt permit issued pursuant to a decreed plan
for augmentation will be required.
Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(1), C.R.S., the State Engineer offers the
opinion that due to the lack of an augmentation plan to offset out of priority depletions
from the pumping of the well, the proposed water supply plan will cause material injury
to existing water rights and is inadequate.
Please contact me if you or the applicant has any questions concerning this matter.
Sincerely,
Megan Sullivan, P.E.
