r. RELATTONSHIP TO THE CO},IPREHENSIVE PLAN
The site is located in Dj-strict C, Rural Areas with Minor
Environmental Constraints, as designated on the ComprehensivePlan Management District's Map.
rT. DESCRIPTION OI' THE PROPOSAI
A. Site Description: The site is in a gently stoping ruralresidential area of the County. There are a number ofsingle family homes in the vicinity of this tract. Thereis an existing house on the property. The remainder ofproperty consists of grazing lands.
B. Project Description: The applicants are proposing todivide a 29 acre tract into four (4) parcels, two (2) atnine (9) acres each and 2 at five (5) acres each. Theexisting residence is served by an existing well. Theapplicants have applied to the Divisi5n of WaterResources for 2 additional we1ls. If approved, there
would be three (3) wells serving the four parcels, one(1) well for each of the 5 acre parcels and one wellsplit between the 2 nine acre parcels. Sewage disposalwould be accomplished by individual septic tank/Ieachfield systems. 3 of the 4 lots have direct access onto
County Road 100. The fourth lot will be served by aprivate ingress/egress easement. (See map on page. -?
)
III. MAJOR ISSUES AND CONCERNS:
1. Staff has investigated the history of the subjectproperty with records available at the County Assessor,soffice. The property has existed in its currentconfiguration since prior to January 1, L973. No splitsby exemption have been made.
2- The soils information indicates that the area is werlsuited for homesite development. There are suggestionsfor pre-wetting the foundation area to minimize theshrink/swell potential and that the I.S.D.S. absorption
field may need to be slightly enlarged due to moderatepermeabitity. Neither of these issues are a serious
concern that would limit the development.
The applicants have applied to the Division of YIater
Resources for a permit to construct 2 wells on the newly
created parcels. If the Board of County Commissioners
authorizes the creation of 4 parcels, it should be notedthat both State Statutes and Garfield County Subdivision
Reg"ulations require that the Board receive verificationof adequate domestic water prior to the approval of theresolution and recordation documents creating the newIots.
No environmental constraints, including topography andsoils, would preclude the development of the property
for residential and associated uses.
IV. SUGGESTED FINDINGS

County Commissioners.
