CONFERENCE SUMMARY
TAX PARCEL NUMBER: 217910130001 PRE-APP DATE: 2-11-22 (Corrected Report 3-2-22)
PROJECT: Ruiz El Rancho Minor Subdivision
OWNER: Joel & Hortencia Ruiz
REPRESENTATIVE: Joel Ruiz
PRACTICAL LOCATION: 7005 County Road 346, Silt CO 81652
ZONING: Rural
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Urban Growth Area of Town of Silt
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Minor Subdivision
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The property owner desires to subdivide a 37.42 acre parcel into three residential lots. A draft plat
was presented to the staff at the Pre-App Conference. The proposed minor subdivision would
create lots of 7.8 acres, 36.2 acres and 2.1 acres in size. The parcels are located south of the Town
of Silt at the north corner of the intersection of County Roads 346 and 331. The property is
currently improved with a single-family residence and an unoccupied oil and gas well pad.
The parcel is located within the Rural zone district. The minimum lot size in the Rural district is two
acres. The proposed lot sizes comply with this minimum size requirement. The proposed lot line
configuration does not appear, based upon the information provided on the plat, to create non-
conforming conditions for setbacks or other Rural zone district standards. The Rising Sun ditch and
the Dry Hallow Creek are located on the property. It appears that there is a potential issue with the
northern property line with the overlap of the Silt River Preserve Conservation Easement. This issue
should be addressed as part of the Minor Subdivision application. An identified Flood Hazard Zone
A associated with Dry Hollow Creek runs through the subject property. This flood hazard zone
2
needs to be illustrated on the application’s Site Plan. In addition, staff is aware that the site is
within close proximity to an established bald eagle nest. It is anticipated that the Colorado Parks
and Wildlife (CPW) will require the imposition of protection measures for this nest. Staff
recommends that the Applicant seek out coordination with the CPW regarding their
recommendations and include those recommendations as part of the application documentation.
Staff also anticipates that areas of high ground water will be found on the site which will need to be
addressed with respect to proposed septic systems.
Staff anticipates that the new lots will be served by individual well and septic systems. New wells
may require new State of Colorado Water Well Permits and contracts with the West Divide Water
Conservancy District. The County’s Land Use & Development Code (LUDC) requires a subdivision to
demonstrate legal and adequate water for each lot. Permit documentation for these systems
should be submitted with the application. The Applicant has suggested that they will request a
waiver from the requirement of drilling new water wells until after the Director’s Decision. Please
note the requirements in Article 7 that relate to protection of agricultural lands and ditches,
Division 2, 7-201 of the LU&DC
It is anticipated that each lot will be served by individual driveways. All driveways will need to
conform to the standards and requirements defined in Section 7-107 of the LU&DC.
All existing and future public utilities should be contained with an easement. The LU&DC requires
that utilities are to be underground for new Subdivision proposals.
The applicant’s Surveyors should ensure that the required Certificates, notes and plat language
conform to that prescribed by the County for the necessary signatures. The plat will need to include
all information as described in Section 5-402(F), including the name and addresses of the surface
owners and mineral estate owners. The applicant will also need to submit a title commitment for
the subject property and ensure that the plat states that all easements and encumbrances
identified in the commitment are accurately shown on the plat.
Proof of ownership in the form of a recent title report is required to process the application. All
property owners, per County assessor records, will need to sign the application and provide a letter
of authorization for anyone serving as the applicant’s representative.
Any existing or proposed (draft) Codes Covenants or Restrictions (CCR’s) that affect the subject
property should be submitted with the application. The LU&DC also requires an engineer’s report
for: (A) Roads, Trails, Walkways and Bikeways; (C) Sewage Collection and Water Supply and
Distribution System; (E) Groundwater Drainage and (H) Preliminary Cost Estimates for
Improvements. Please reference Section 4-202, Submittal Waivers and Section 4-118, Waivers from
Standards as applicable, for any submittal or standards waivers that you will request.
All of these requirements, digital copies of the LUDC, and forms can be found online within the

EL RANCHO MINOR SUBDIVISION PROJECT NARRATIVE
This application is for the division of a 45.13 acres Parcel (#21791013001), which is located south of Silt
at County Road 346, into a minor subdivision consisting of three lots. The proposed lot sizes are
as follows: Lot 1 – 7.6 acres, Lot 2 – 35.4 acres, and Lot 3 – 2.1. The site is zoned Rural and there
is currently a house built with an OWTS system in place a water well.
ARTICLE 7 - DIVISION 1: GENERAL APPROVAL STANDARDS
Section 7.101: Zone District Use Regulations
The subject property is currently zoned Rural and the proposed minor subdivision will not change this.
Section 7.102: Comprehensive Plan and Intergovernmental Agreements
The Comprehensive Plan includes relatively few policies which provide direct guidance with respect to
the proposed subdivision. The Future Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan establishes the
broad land use and density for future development within the County.
The proposed subdivision in in conformance with the applicable zone district: Rural, minimum lot size 2
acres, with the proposed lot sizes as follows: Lot 1 – 7.6 acres, Lot 2 – 35.24 acres, and Lot 3 – 2.1 acres,
which are all well above the minimum lot size allowed. The subject property is not located within any
unincorporated community, or water and sewer service area, nor is there any regional center, town
center, rural employment center or village center mapped in the area where the subject property is
located.
The County desires to retain the rural character of the area and the proposed subdivision would provide
that with the creation of a mere two additional lots, in which agricultural and grazing uses can remain.
As far as recreation, open space, and trails, the subject property does have the Dry Hallow Creek
running through lot 2 which will remain intact. There is no fishing or rafting activity that would be
interrupted.
No significant visual impact is expected with the creation of the three lots.
Based on the current regulations, by dividing the property now in in the proposed manner, the
individual lots cannot be subdivided again, therefore the agricultural land will be protected from
infringement of higher density uses.
The proposed subdivision will comply with the designated Rural Zoning District, which allows residential
lots with a minimum lot area of two acres. The proposed lot sizes would allow for continued agricultural
and grazing uses, with minimal impact on adjacent agricultural operations.
Section 7.103: Compatibility
The surrounding properties are zoned rural with a mix of Rural Residential and Agriculture/Grazing Land
Use . There are a few adjacent properties ranging in size from 2 acres to 40 acres. The proposed land
use will change from Agriculture and Grazing to Residential Medium High (1 du per 2 - <6 acres),
2
whereas the zoning will remain Rural, protecting the existing character of the area. The proposed lot
sizes are larger than the minimum two acres required for this designation, and will allow for small scale
agriculture and grazing to continue.
Section 7.104: Source of Water
The owners have obtained contracts for water from West Divide Water Conservancy District. WDWCD
has approved one well per proposed lot.
Section 7.105: Central Water Distribution and Wastewater Systems

separate pole. Underground electricity service lines will be brought from the existing poles to each
dwelling.
Section 7.107: Access and Roadways
Lot 1 and lot 2 will have their own legal entrance and direct access to County Road 346 Lot 3 will have
legal entrance from County Road 331. Per attached letter from Garfield County Road and Bridge, there is
adequate space for safe access to the county road on the South side of the property. Lot 2 already has
its driveway in place and lots 1 and 3 have the approval to be constructed. There will be no public
roadways within the subdivision. No roads proposed, only driveways to future single family dwellings
and allowed accessory buildings.

GGS LAND USE REVIEWS
Geological studies are required by Colorado counties for all subdivisions of unincorpo-
rated land into parcels of less than 35 acres/ under State statute C.R.S. 30-28-136 (1) (Ð
(Senate 8il135, 1972). Some Colorado municipalities require geological studies for sub-
division of incorporated land. In addition, local governments are empowered to regu-
late development activities in hazardous or mineral-resource areas under C.R.S. 24-65J1,-
101 et seq. (House Bi11104L,1974) and C.R.S. 34-L-3A1. et seq. (House 8i111529,1973),
respectively.
Local-government agencies submit proposed subdivision applications and supporting
technical reports to the Colorado Geological Survey " ...fot evaluation of those geologic
factors which would have significant impact on the proposed use of the land," in accor-
dance with State statutes. The CGS reviews the submitted documents and serves as a
technical advisor to local-government planning agencies during the planning process.
Since 1-984, the CGS has been required by law to recover the full direct cost of perform-
ing such reviews.
The adequate knowledge of a site's geology is essential for any development project. It
is needed at the start of the project in order to plary design, and construct a safe devel-
opment. Proper planning for geological conditions can help developers and future
owners/users reduce unnecessary maintenance and/or repair costs.

requirements are grounds for cancellation of this contract. which could result in action by the
Colorado Division of Water Resources to curtail further use of the wcll.

Et RANCHO MINOR SUBDIVISION PROJECT NARRAT¡VE
This application is for the division of a 45.13 acres Parcel (#2179L0t3001), which is located south of Silt
at County Road 346, into a minorsubdivision consistingof three lots. The proposed lot sizes are
as follows: Lot 3. - 7.6 acres, Lot 2 - 35.4 acres, and Lot 3 - 2.L. The site is zoned Rural and there
is currently a house built with an OWTS system in place a water well.
ARTICLE 7 - DIVISION 1: GENERAT APPROVAL STANDARDS
Section 7.t01; Zone D¡str¡ct Use Regulations
The subject property is currently zoned Rural and the proposed minor subdivision will not change this.
Section 7 .LO2z Com prehensive Plan a nd I ntergovernmental Agreements
The Comprehensive Plan includes relatively few policies which provide direct guidance with respect to
the proposed subdivision. The Future Land Use Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan establishes the
broad land use and density for future development within the County.
The proposed subdivision in in conformance with the applicable zone district: Rural, minimum lot size 2
acres, with the proposed lot sizes as follows: Lot 1 - 7.6 acres, Lot 2 - 35.24 acres, and Lot 3 - 2.1 acres,
which are allwell above the minimum lot size allowed. The subject property is not located within any
unincorporated community, or water and sewer service area, nor is there any regional center, town
center, rural employment center or village center mapped in the area where the subject property is
located.
The County desires to retain the rural character of the area and the proposed subdivision would provide
that with the creation of a mere two additional lots, in which agricultural and grazing uses can remain.
As far as recreation, open space, and trails, the subject property does have the Dry Hallow Creek
running through lot 2 which will remain intact. There is no fishing or rafting activity that would be
interrupted.
No significant visual impact is expected with the creation of the three lots.
Based on the current regulations, by dividing the property now in in the proposed manner, the
individual lots cannot be subdivided again, therefore the agricultural land will be protected from
infringement of higher density uses.
The proposed subdivision will comply with the designated Rural Zoning District, which allows residential
lots with a minimum lot area of two acres. The proposed lot sizes would allow for continued agricultural
and grazing uses, with minimal impact on adjacent agricultural operations,
Section 7 .t0ït Compatibility
The surrounding properties are zoned rural with a mix of Rural Residential and Agriculture/Grazing Land
Use . There are a few adjacent propert¡es ranging in size from 2 acres to 40 acres. The proposed land
use will change from Agriculture and Grazingto Residential Medium High (1 du per 2 - <6 acres),
I
whereas the zoning will remain Rural, protecting the existing character of the area. The proposed lot
sizes are larger than the minimum two acres required for this designation, and will allow for small scale
agriculture and grazing to continue.

Dear Mr. Hooper,
I have been asked by Joel Ruiz to provide some input on the bald eagle nest near the Silt
River Preserve and its current status as it may impact some planned construction across
County Road 346.
Unfortunately on April 5th, 2022 the bald eagle nest near the parking lot of the Silt River
Preserve was destroyed due to high winds. At the time of the destruction the bald eagles
were actively using the nest to incubate eggs which were also destroyed in the incident. At
this nest should no longer be considered active or even existing. The adult bald eagles have
moved to the other existing nest located on the island of the Preserve. At this time CPW
would be comfortable removing any existing buffer distances and timing restrictions for the
destroyed nest for nearby construction or land use alterations.
While the nest is currently destroyed there is the possibility that the bald eagles decide to
rebuild the nest at or near the location of where the nest was destroyed. At this time a new
nest would not be constructed within the timeframe for nesting timing restrictions and the
bald eagles will not be able to have any more eggs this year. CPW will continue to monitor
the area for any bald eagle nest construction. If a new nest is constructed CPW will inform
the Garfield County Planning committee in future land use comments and recommend
appropriate buffers as well as timing restrictions.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to District Wildlife Manager Travis
Bybee at 970-985-5882
Sincerely,
Travis Bybee, District Wildlife Manager
