Areas z to 1 mile radius, Moderate
Environmental Constraints)
1. The A/R/RD zone district requires a two acre minimum lot size. However, the
applicant received a variance from the Garfield County Board of Adjustment in
September 1982 for the 1.5 acre lot size (see attached variance authorization,
pages 39-43 ).
2. The County Comprehensive Plan indicates that development in this area may have
the same or a compatible density with the existing subdivision designating the area.
In this case, Rifle Creek Estates and Rifle Creek Ranch set the precedent for
approximately 2.5 acre lots. Due to the extenuating circumstances, the 1.5 acre
size appears to be sufficiently compatible with the area.
3. The Division of Water Resources has verified the household use well permit
for the 1.5 acre tract and recommends approval of this request.
