EXEMPTION
APPLICABILITY
The Board of County Commissioners has the discretionary power to exempt a
division of land from the definition of subdivision and thereby from the
procedure in these Regulations, provided the Board determines that such
exemption will not impair or defeat the stated purpose of the Subdivision
Regulations nor be detrimental to the general public welfare. The Board
shall make exemption decisions in accordance with the requirements of
these regulations. Following a review of the individual facts of each
application in light of the requirements of these Regulations, the Board
may approve, conditionally approve or deny an exemption. An application
for exemption must satisfy, at a minimum, all of the review criteria
listed below. Compliance with the review criteria, however, does not
ensure exemption. The Board also may consider additonal factors listed in
Section 8:60 of the Subdivision Regulations.
A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling
units will be created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in
the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on
January 1, 1973, and is not a part of a recorded subdivision; however,
any parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by a public
right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad) or
natural feature, preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the
division occurs along the public right-of-way or natural feature, such
parcels thereby created may, at the discretion of the Board, not be
considered to have been created by exemption with regard to the four
(4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation otherwise
applicable;
B. All Garfield County zoning requirements will be met; and
C. All lots created will have legal access to a public right-of-way and
any necessary access easements have been obtained or are in the
process of being obtained; and
D. Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of
both the legal and physical quality, quantity and dependability, and a
suitable type of sewage disposal to serve each proposed lot; and
E. All state and local environmental health and safety requirements have
been met or are in the process of being met; and
F. Provision has been made for any required road or storm drainage
improvements; and
G. Fire protection has been approved by the appropriate fire district.
H. Any necessary drainage, irrigation or utility easements have been
obtained or are in the process of being obtained; and
I. School fees, taxes and special assessments have been paid.
(The School Impact Fee is $200.00 for each new lot created).
PROCEDURES
A. A request for exemption shall be submitted to the Board on forms
provided by the Garfield County Department of Development/Planning
Division. Two (2) copies of the application, maps and supplemental
information shall be submitted.
B. The Planning Division shall review the exemption request for
completeness within eight (8) days of submittal. If incomplete, the
application shall be withdrawn from consideration and the applicant
notified of the additional information needed. If the application is
complete, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the time and
place of the Board of County Commissioners meeting at which the
request shall be considered. In either case, notification shall occur
within fifteen (15) days of submittal.
• •
C. Notice of the public meeting shall be mailed by certified mail, return
receipt requested, to owners of record of land immediately adjoining
and within 200 feet of the proposed exemption, to mineral owners and
lessees of mineral owners of record of the land proposed for
exemption, and to tenants of any structure proposed for conversion.
The exemption site shall be posted clearly and conspicuously visible
from a public right-of-way with notice signs provided by the Planning
Division. All notices shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) and not
more than thirty (30) days prior to the meeting. The applicant shall
be responsible for mailing the notices and shall present proof of
mailing at the meeting.
D. At or within fifteen (15) days of the meeting, the Board shall
approve, conditionally approve or deny the exemption request. The
reasons for denial or any conditions of approval shall be set forth in
the minutes of the meeting or in a written resolution. An applicant
denied exemption shall follow the subdivision procedure in these
Regulations.

SOIL TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS
RIFLE AREA, COLORADO
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Arvada and Ildefonso soils. The Arvada soils are moder-
ately sloping, and the Ildefonso soils are steeper. These
areas make up 10 to 15 percent of the map unit.
Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water
capacity is low. Effective rootin' depth is 60 inc` ns.
Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is severe.
This soil is used mainly for grazing and wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on this sol is mainly wheat -
grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush.
When range condition deteriorates, (orbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira-
ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly
manaq'rig grazing maintains and improves range condi-
tion. Reducing brush improves range, but desirable
shrubs should not be destroyed.
Mule deer, cottontail rabbit, chukar, and squirrel find
habitat on this soil.
Community development is limited by steep slopes.
Community sewage facilities will be needed ii` population
density increases.
This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated.
48—Ncrthwater loam, 15 to 65 percent slopes. This
deep, well drained, hilly to very steed soil is on moun-
tainsides. Elevation ranges from 7,600 to 8,400 feet. This
soil formed in residuum from sedimentary necks. The
averaee en, -'tial precin'tation is about 20 inches, the
averaee temperature, is aoout 40 decireas F, and the
treat -free period is less than 75 days.
Typic pity, the upper part of the surface layer is brown
loam about 10 inches thick. in most places 2 inches ci
organic material is on the surface. The lower part of the
surface layer is dark grayish brown loam about 15 inches
thick. The subsoil is light brown Dery channery day loam
about 25 ieciees thick. Fractured sandstene is at a depth
of 50 i,,c`:e,.
included with this soil in manning are small areas or
Parachute, Rhone, and Ingui soils. The Rhone soils are
on the north -facing side slopes, and the Parachute and
Irig,a! : ale near r '- e, crests. These areas make up
10 to 15 percent of the map unit.
Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity
is moderate. cifedl.ive rooting dv'p;n is 4d to 60 inches.
Surface runoff is sic'.N, and the erosion hazard is silo;n t
Th ie eaii is used mainly for iirn',ted grazing, wildlife
habitat, and recreation.

SOURCE OF LEGAL AND ADEQUATE DOMESTIC WATER
The parcel as it is now configured existed as of June 1, 1972.
The petitioners are therefore eligible for an exempt well
permit pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-602. Petitioners request that
their application be referred to the Division Engineer for the
Division of Water Resources for a determination of their
eligibility for an exempt well permit.
Sewage disposal for both parcels will be handled by septic
systems and leach fields of appropriate capacity.
ELIGIBILITY FOR EXEMPTION

demonstrate that the parcel existed as described on January 1,
1973, and is therefore eligible for exemption from county
subdivision regulations pursuant to C.R.S. 30-28-101 and the
subdivision regulations of Garfield County, Colorado.
