On January 3, 1997, my mother Shirley Zancanella passed away. She was the general or controlling partner in the partnership. We had requested the exemption to accommodate my sisters' wishes to provide them with lots for future retirement residences in the Glenwood Springs area. My mother's estate will not be fully resolved for several months. In addition, my sisters have not resolved their long term plans for their interest in the family property. Therefore, we are requesting an extension of time in filing the final plat. This property has been owned by our family since 1948; we are not in a rush to develop this property. We request that you allow us as much time as you reasonably can to complete the final plat (6-12 months). If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 945-5700.

Box 1908 Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 RE: Zancanella Subdivision Exemption Dear Tom, On Monday, April 8, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners conditionally approved your petition for an exemption from the definition of subdivision. The conditions that must be met prior to final authorization are as follows: That all representations of the applicant, either within the application or stated at the meeting before the Board of County Commissioners, shall be considered conditions of approval. A Final Exemption Plat shall be submitted, indicating the legal description of the property, dimension and area of the proposed lots, access to a public right-of-way, and any proposed easements for setbacks, drainage, irrigation, access, water supply or utilities. That the applicant shall have 120 days to present a plat to the Commissioners for signature, from the date of approval of the exemption. The Board may grant extensions of up to one (1) year from the original date of approval. 'That the applicant shall submit $200.00, in School Impact Fees for the creation of the exemption parcel. That the following plat notes be included: "The minimum defensible space distance 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." "Upon adoption of road impact fees by the Board of County Commissioners, the lots created by this exemption shall be subject to paying the fees, paid at time of building permit application, paid by the building permit applicant." 109 8th Street, Suite 303 945-8212/285-7972 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 • "Soil conditions on the site may require engineered septic systems and building foundations. Site specific percolation tests at the time of building permit submittal shall determine specific ISDS needs on the site." "No further divisions by exemption from definition of subdivision will be allowed." The control of noxious weeds shall be the responsibility of the landowner. The applicant shall receive any necessary driveway permits, for the exemption parcels, from the County Road and Bridge Department, prior to signing of an exemption plat. Prior to final approval by the Board, the applicant shall demonstrate that the City of Glenwood Springs has given its consent and final approval to supply water to the exemption parcels. This may be done by submitting a letter from the City indicating the applicant has met any and all conditions of approval the City may have. If you have any questions regarding these conditions, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Sincerely, Eric D. McCafferty Garfield County Planner April 5, 1996 Eric McCafferty Garfield County Building and Planning 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: Zancanella Subdivision Exemption Request Dear Eric, We have reviewed the Subdivision Exemption application forwarded to our office for the Zancanella property and have the following comments: General Planning Comments It is our understanding that the County Subdivision Exemption process allows for the creation of up to four (4) parcels. It would appear that this proposal contemplates the creation of five (5) parcels. This property represents one of the largest remaining largely undeveloped parcel's within the City's urban development boundary. Development densities should be higher than the one (1) unit per two (2) acres reflected in the proposal. Densities suggested by the City's Land Use Plan are in the range of 2 to 5 units per acre. Lot #3 would be a suitable site for higher density residential development, perhaps with City participation to assure attainability for working families in Glenwood Springs. Utility Infrastructure Issues All development should be encouraged to work with the City towards connecting with municipal wastewater system. Since the access to the property is obtained via the City street system, will the County be willing to collect off-site transportation impact fees for the City? The existing water system needs to be evaluated to insure proper fire flows to new structures. Hydrants may be required per U.F.C., as well as access issues, road widths, grades and surfaces 806 COOPER AVENUE GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO 81601 970/945-2575 FAX: 945-2597 and wildland fire protection. Thanks for providing us the opportunity to comment on this proposal. Sincerely, Andrew McGregor City Planner GARFIELD COUNTY ROAD AND BRIDGE P.O.

Commissioner John Martin FROM: Kina RE: County Roads 131A and 1318 Dear Commissioner Martin: As you have requested, I looked into the status of these county roads, and have found that the county never did have a record of maintaining these roads. Approximately 1988, the City of Glenwood Springs annexed this area and it appears from the attached map that the City also annexed these roads into the city limits at that time as well. If you have any other questions, or if 1 misunderstood you, please give me a call. Thanks. King 131a131b • ) ( z z / z a /2 • z
