Prior to final approval the Division of Water Resources shall issue the appropriate well
permit, the well shall be drilled and pump -tested for a duration of four (4) hours and an
opinion from the person conducting the pump test must be submitted stating the well is
capable of supplying adequate water for the proposed uses. If the existing well is to be shared
among the lots in the exemption, a well -sharing declaration must also be submitted for review
and recordation. All information shall be submitted to the Planning Department for review.
9. The applicant shall consult with the Road and Bridge Department and shall receive any
required driveway permits, prior to final approval.
10. That the following plat notes shall be included on the exemption plat:
"The minimum defensible space distance for structures shall be 30 feet on level terrain, plus
appropriate modification to recognize the increased rate of fire spread at sloped sites. The
methodology described in "Determining Safety Zone Dimensions, Wildfire Safety Guidelines
for Rural Homeowners," (Colorado State Forest Service) shall be used to determine
defensible space requirements for the required defensible space within building envelopes in
areas exceeding five (5) percent grade."
"The individual lot owners shall be responsible for the control of noxious weeds."
"One (1) dog will be allowed for each residential unit within an exemption and the dog shall
be required to be confined within the owner's property boundaries, with enforcement
provisions allowing for the removal of a dog from the area as a final remedy in worst cases."
"No open hearth solid -fuel fireplaces will be allowed anywhere within an exemption. One (1)
new solid -fuel burning stove as defined by C.R.S. 25-7-401, et. seq., and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, will be allowed in any dwelling unit. All dwelling units will be
allowed an unrestricted number of natural gas burning stoves and appliances."
"All exterior lighting shall be the minimum amount necessary and that all exterior lighting be
directed inward, towards the interior of the subdivision, except that provisions may be made
to allow for safety lighting that goes beyond the property boundaries."
"There shall be no more exemptions from definition of subdivision allowed on either parcel
created by this approval."
"Soil conditions on the site may require engineered building foundations and may require
engineered septic systems."
"Building sites on Lot #2 of this exemption plat are required to have an engineering
evaluation relative to the on-site drainage channel. If a flood hazard is found to exist then an
engineered foundation design must be submitted at the time of building permit application.
All foundations shall be designed to withstand the hydrodynamic, hydrostatic and buoyant
• •
forces associated with a 100 -year flood flow event emanating from the upstream drainage
basin."
If you have any questions regarding these conditions, or if you require additional assistance, please
