HomeMy WebLinkAbout7.0 Extension Request 12.07.2000• •
Memo
To: Board of County Commissioners
From: Garfield County Planning Department
Subject: Van Hoose/Timber Gulch Subdivision Exemption
Date: December 7, 2000
Matthew and Bonnie Van Hoose are requesting a one year extension of the last extension,
approved by the Board in June. The last extension took the application to 12/13/00. This
takes the application to one year, which has been the limit in the past. Staff believes that the
Board has, under unusual extenuating circumstances approved extensions beyond one year.
This is a discretionary decision, since the regulatory requirement of 120 days in Section 8:33 of
the Subdivision Regulations are extended fairly regularly. The one year extension, has been
an unwritten policy of the Board for a number of years.

Re: Van Hoose/Timber Gulch Subdivision Exemption
Dear Mark:
TELEPHONE 970-625-1887
FAX 970-625-4448
I believe that one of my clients, Matthew Van Hoose, has discussed with you the delays he has
encountered in completing an augmentation plan for the necessary domestic water rights to support
the final exemption approval. I am submitting to you herewith a copy of a letter from legal counsel
for West Divide Water Conservancy District confirming that it is anticipated that augmentation water
will be available in late calendar year 2001. In light of this information, my clients Donald Van
Hoose and Matthew Van Hoose request an extension of twelve months, continuing the date for final
exemption plat approval to December 5, 2001.
Would you please present this request to the County Commissioners at your earliest convenience and
advise whether or not it is necessary for my client or me to be present when the request is
considered?
Very truly yours,
TWS/gg

Re: Alsbury Reservoir Augmentation Water
Dear Mr. Van Hoose:
OF COUNSEL:
KENNETH BALCOMB
This letter comes in response to your inquiries regarding augmentation water
from the West Divide Water Conservancy District's ("West Divide") Alsbury Reservoir.
West Divide is currently in the process of creating and obtaining approval for a Substitute
Water Supply Plan. We expect an application for Substitute Supply Plan will be submitted
to the State Engineer's Office within the next two months and hope to have approval of the
Substitute Supply Plan no later than Summer or Fall of 2001. Once the Substitute Supply
Plan is in place, West Divide will be in a position to contract for augmentation water from
Alsbury Reservoir.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Very truly yours,
BALCOMB & GREEN, P.C.
