4-203.G - IMPACT ANALYSIS
I. Adjacent Land Uses
Adjacent land uses within 1,500 feet of the property consist of a large, private
developed ranch, privately owned undeveloped property and public lands (City of
Glenwood Springs and BLM).
2. Site Features
The east and west sides, of the rectangular 40 acre parcel, both slope down to a
narrow valley. South Canyon Creek, which extends and runs downhill from the south
end of the property to the north end of the property, meanders through the valley
floor. On the west side of the creek is a relatively flat area that is vegetated with
native grasses. The site then slopes upward. The vegetation on the sloped portion
contains a mix of spruce/fir and aspen association. The area along the east side of
the creek slopes upward toward County Road 134. The vegetative association
contains a mix of native grasses, willows and gambel oak. The area east of County
Road 134, contains steep slopes with a vegetative mix of native grasses, gambel oak,
serviceberry and mountain mahogany.
The site has various topographic slopes. The area on the western end of the parcel
contains gentle slopes and then progresses to steeper slopes going south and eastward
to a ridgeline.
An existing, single family residence and some outbuildings reside on the property.
The residence was built in approximately 1974. The residence is served by an entry
drive that intersects with County Road 134.
3. Soil Characteristics
The underlying soils, where site development will occur, consist of 32 — Holderness
Variant clay loam and 39 —Jerry loam. These soils are identified in the USDA Soil
Conservation Service mapping.
For community development and construction purposes, Holderness Variant clay
loam has limitations based on high clay content, high shrink -swell potential and low
strength while .ferry loam is also limited by high shrink -swell potential, and low
strength. Both soils required good drainage.
While these soils have limitations, the limitations can be mitigated with proper
engineering solutions.
4. Geology and Hazard
No geology or hazards are noticeable on or associated with the property.
South Canyon Creek runs through the property in a south to north direction. Another
water body, Delsas Creek enters the property from the west and intersects with South
Canyon Creek. Other than South Canyon Creek and Delsas Creek, no other
groundwater or aquifer recharging areas are noticeable.
G. Environmental Impacts
Because of the limited development of the property, the proposed minor subdivision
should have little short or long term effect on the flora and fauna.
The only impacts on the 40 acre tract of land will be associated with the
improvements to the exiting driveway and construction of one (1) additional
residence, yard area, OWTS and a driveway to that residence on Lot 2.
Lot 1 contains an existing residence. Access to the lot is via a private driveway from
CR 134. The existing driveway will be utilized for access to Lot 2 thus eliminating
the need for another access road.
The building site, for Lot 2, is located in a relatively flat area that is vegetated with
native grasses. Given the location and condition of the new development area, all of
the spruce/aspen and the pinonljuniper associations will be preserved thus preserving
the wildlife habitat.
7. Nuisance
Impacts on adjacent land from generation of vapor, dust, smoke, noise, glare or
vibration or other emanations should be minimal to non-existent.
8. Hours of Operation
Not applicable.

4-118.Waiver of Standards
The applicant, Daryl Tye Richardson, requests a waiver from the following in Article 7: Standards
7-203. PROTECTION OF WATERBODIES
B. Structures Permitted in Setback
The applicant, is proposing to develop a potable water well, for Lot 2, within the 35 foot setback from
the Typical and Ordinary High Water Mark (TOHWM) of South Canyon Creek.
Response: The proposed well location is situated on a relatively flat area approximately 25 feet from
the centerline of South Canyon Creek. South Canyon Creek is a narrow, relatively deep channeled
creek bed. The vegetative characteristics, at the proposed well location, consists of native grasses.
No riparian vegetation will be removed prior to and during construction of the well. Development of
the well will only require a minimal amount of disturbance within the setback area. While some minor
surface disturbance will be required by the drill rig, development of the well be be vertical and will
require little surface disturbance. The well head will not impede the flow of water within the creek
channel nor will the well alter existing drainage patterns.
The location of the well will not impose any impact on adjacent properties.

the extent that such road extends onto Lot 2 past its boundary with Lot I it shal I thereafter be solely
owned by the owner of Lot 2 and its improvement, maintenance, repair shall be the sole
responsibility of the owner of Lot 2 and its use may be restricted as determined solely by the owner
of Lot 2.
2. Shared. Responsibility for Maintenance and Costs of Access Road. Except as set forth
above, responsibility for improvement, maintenance and repair of the Common Access Road shall
be shared mutually by the owners of Lots 1 and 2 as set forth below:
a. All costs for improvement, maintenance, and repair of the Common Access Road
shall be shared equally by the owners of Lots 1 and 2.
b. Before any such work is commenced, the owners of Lots l and 2 shall agree upon
plans and specifications for such work and the individual or entity that will perform the
work. The owners of Lots I and 2 may also agree upon a maximum cost for such work.
The parties may agree upon an alternative distribution of costs, but any such agreement
shall be unenforceable unless it is in writing signed by the owners of Lots I and 2.
C. In the event that the owners of Lots 1 and 2 are unable to agree upon the elements
set forth in subparagraph a. above, either individual owner may undertake improvements
to the Common Access Road and shall be solely responsible for the costs thereof, except
that neither owner may cause the road to be paved without the written consent of the other.
3. Grant of Easement for Utilities. The owner of Lot 2 shall also have a perpetual non-
exclusive easement thirty feet in width over and across Lot 1 (as depicted on the Preliminary Plat)
for the purposes of installation, operation, use, maintenance, repair and replacement of any
utilities. This easement may be used for this purpose so long as the utilities remain buried beneath
the Common Access Road, so long as their construction and maintenance does not unreasonably
interfere with the use of said Common Access Road by the owner of Lot i for an unreasonable
amount of time, and so long as their installation and maintenance is undertaken in compliance with
all applicable county, state and federal laws as may now exist or may in the future govern such
construction. For the purposes of this easement, the term "utilities" shall be interpreted broadly,
and shall non -exclusively include sewer, water, telephone, cable, electricity, internet, or other
similar connections to services commonly defined as "utilities." Any Lot owner installing,
maintaining or repairing utilities shall be solely responsible after the completion of said work for
the reconstruction and restoration ofthe Common Access Road to substantially the same condition
as before said work was performed.
4. Emergency Access Easement. A general easement is hereby granted to all police, sheriff,
fire protection, ambulance, and other similar emergency agencies or persons to enter upon and use
the Common Access Road in the proper functioning of their duties in their capacities for the benefit

CGS 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) (i)
(Senate Bill 35, 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. 24-65.1-
101 et seq. (House Bill 1041, 1974) and C.R.S. 34-1-301 et seq. (House Bill 1529, 1973),
respectively.
Local -government agencies submit proposed subdivision applications and supporting
technical reports to the Colorado Geological Survey "...for 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 1984, 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 plan, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Regarding the CGS Land Use Review Process
Why am I required to have a CGS review when I already hired
and paid for my own consultant?
In 1972, Senate Bill 35 was passed stating that any person or
entity subdividing a property into parcels of 35 acres or less on
unincorporated land must submit geologic or geotechnical
reports to the County as part of the preliminary plat application
process. Municipalities or public agencies may request that CGS
review a site, although these reviews are not governed by the
statute.
Why is a CGS review necessary when I already hired my own
geologist?
The CGS review is an independent third -party review that is done
for the County, similar to the service a building inspector provides
for construction review. The purpose of the CGS review is to
ensure that all geologic concerns have been adequately identified
and addressed in the geologic reports and that the proposed
development is feasible.
Why does CGS charge for land use reviews? Doesn't taxpayer
money pay for this service?
CGS land use reviews are not subsidized through the general
fund, although some other review agencies are supported by
taxpayer money. In 1984 the state legislature decided that CGS
reviews should be paid for with fees paid by the applicant of the
proposed development so that taxpayers are not viewed as
subsidizing development.
Did the CGS geologist make afield visit to the site?
A CGS geologist visits each site being reviewed. If the review is a
re -submittal for a site that has been visited previously, a second
site visit may not be necessary. If significant changes have
occurred since the initial review, the site may be visited again.
Why is the CGS review letter so short and simple? What is my fee
paying for?
The CGS letter is a review of the geologic material submitted and
reflects the level of detail contained in those documents. CGS does
not offer designs, but rather ensures that the work that has been
done is meaningful and adequate for the site conditions and
proposed development. A site review that adequately addresses all
the geologic conditions present at the site may be a short
confirmation letter. If more work needs to be done or if difficult
site conditions are present, the letter may be longer.
What type of information do I need to submit to CGS for a land
use review?
The more geologic information that is submitted to CGS, the
easier it is for CGS to evaluate the property. The required
documents may vary based on county requirements and the
potential problems that may impact the proposed development.
A topographic map is essential. Also, information regarding
slope, surficial materials, subsurface materials and bedrock,
presence of groundwater and depth, and specific geologic
hazards should be included, where applicable. Grading plans,
drainage plans, and geotechnical testing results are also very
helpful for the review. The presence of geologic hazards should
be evaluated with respect to the development plan. Also, the
effect of development on geologic conditions should be
discussed. The evaluation should include alternatives such as
avoidance and mitigation techniques.
The subdivision down the road was approved, why wasn't mine?
There could be several reasons: geologic conditions can change
over short distances; subdivisions made prior to 1972 were not
required to undergo a CGS review and may have not been
evaluated for geologic suitability at all; the area down the road
may be incorporated as part of a municipality, which exempts it
from the CGS review process. Another consideration is that
geologic reviews are continually evolving and site conditions that
have been judged acceptable in the past may no longer be
considered as such, based on the current understanding of the
geologic processes and adverse impacts associated with them.
8 Why are CGS reviews required even on low-density properties?
Senate Bill 35 pertains to subdivisions of less than 35 acres.
Geologic hazards can occur on large -scales or small -scales;
relying on low-density subdivision can not mitigate all geologic
hazards. For instance, entire hillsides might be prone to rockfall
or landslide hazards. Large tracts of land may be subject to
groundwater problems.
9 Why can't I just use the soil conservation maps for a geologic
report?
The USDA soil conservation maps are a good start for geologic
investigations, but do not contain sufficient detail on the possible
geologic problems that may occur at any site.
10 Aren't some of your review comments beyond the scope of geologic
hazards on my site?
Teclmically other agencies have regulatory authority regarding
issues such as flood plains, groundwater availability and wildfire,
but these issues are also important factors in the overall geologic
context of the site and may affect geologic hazards on the site. The
mention of a condition in the CGS review letter is not intended to
influence the statutory authority of any other agency, but rather to
ensure that all parties are aware of a potentially problematic
geologic condition. For instance, mention of a situation involving a
major drainage is a flag that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or
the Colorado Water Conservation Board should be reviewing
development plans.
11 When I bought this property, no one told me about any geologic
hazards on the site; can Igo back to the previous owners
somehow?
CGS can not give legal advice. If the seller was aware of adverse
conditions with respect to the proposed use, this should have
been disclosed. A legal opinion should be sought.
12 Can I get a waiver from having the CGS do a review?
The discretion to grant waivers is vested by law with the counties.
Once an application for review is submitted to CGS, we are under
a statutory responsibility to respond.
13 I am willing to accept the risk associated with my property —
why is it anyone's business what I do with my own land?
The presumption associated with a subdivision is that portions
of the property will be sold to others. This then assigns any risk
to future buyers, and the county is required to protect their
interests. Senate Bill 35 addresses a wide variety of land use
issues as well as geologic suitability in an attempt to provide
information so that the overall appropriateness of the
subdivision proposal can be evaluated.
