They are intended to provide information along with the opportunity for additional questions/answers regarding the unique applications and proposals you are putting forth.

Specific responses are needed to Article 7, Division 2 Standards including but not limited to Agricultural Lands, Wildlife, Waterbody Protection, Drainage & Erosion, Environment, Natural and Geologic Hazards, and Reclamation. While not completeness issues the following topics have been identified as key issues that are anticipated to be further considered in the course of the development review process for the Nutrient Farms PUD. o Section 7-109 Fire Protection and any special considerations for major uses with significant attendance, capacity, and or accessibility issues. o Floodplain Details associated with the mapped floodplain. . Traffic Study including larger special events and modelling assumptions. Level of service and impacts on adjacent land uses is key issue. o Location and size of parking areas including areas for temporary parking. o Noise Study and receiver locations and/or calculation of noise estimates for key PUD zones.. Clarification to the PUD Guide and including reference to a number of uses that will require additional Land Use Permitting by the County and some industrial uses and high traffic and noise generating uses. a Additional information on employee housing including the "bunk house" use will be beneficial. Once the above completeness issues are addressed, we can complete your referral process and schedule )/our initial Planning Commission reviews/public hearings. Supplements to the submittals are an effective way to address completeness issues, however, a complete compilation/update of any changes/additions will be needed to facilitate referrals and Planning Commission/Board of County Commissioners review. Please note that the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code requires that the technical completeness issues be resolved within 60-days of the date of this letter, otherwise the application will be deemed withdrawn unless a request for extension is submitted and approved.
