GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION The property owner is looking to subdivide the site into 2 lots. The proposal is to split a roughly 2 acre lot from the 25.67 acres parcel. The proposed lots must meet the Rural minimum lot size of 2 acres. It is understood that the 2 acre lot will be accessed via an access easement across the roughly 23.67 acre parcel. Primary access for both parcels will be off County Road 137. In addition, the lot must maintain at least 25 feet of lineal frontage on a road right of way providing access, and the access roadway/driveway will need to meet the applicable roadway standards including maximum grades and minimum widths (7-107). Additional Staff review has indicated that because Minor Subdivisions have separate Review Criteria the applicant is only required to meet those items and the 25 feet of lineal frontage is not necessary. The review criteria for a Minor Subdivision includes - Item 4, "Satisfactory evidence of adequate and legal access has been provided," and Item 5, "Any necessary easements including but not limited to drainage, irrigation, utility, road, and water service have been obtained." It is understood that a single family dwelling is under construction on the approximately 2 acre lot. The properties are proposed to be served by a shared well. As a subdivision requires a demonstration of legal and adequate water for each of the proposed parcels, Staff encourages the applicant to discuss the subdivision with the Division of Water Resources (DWR) (Contact Dwight Whitehead at the DWR at 970-945-5665 ext. 5011) prior to submitting an application for subdivision with the County. In addition, a water quality test and 4-hour pump test will need to be conducted prior to application in accordance with Section 4-203(M)(1)(b)(5)(c). The applicant may request that water quality and quantity tests be conducted as conditions of approval. All conditions of approval must be completed within 1 year of approval. The subdivision cannot be finalized until all necessary conditions of approval are satisfied. Should the well be proposed to be shared between the two parcels, then a draft well sharing agreement will need to be submitted with the application along with demonstration of necessary easements for the well and any necessary water lines serving the parcels. Each parcel is to be served by individual Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS). A search of County records do not show that any OWTS's currently exist on the property. Each parcel must demonstrate long-term legal and physical access to a public road. Any existing driveway permits with Garfield County Road and Bridge Department will need to be submitted with the application. All access roads and driveways also need to be demonstrated to conform to the dimensional requirements in Section 7-107 of the LUDC. In addition, any future driveways and access roads will need to be built to the standards outlined in Section 7-107. Should the access driveway be located on any adjacent parcels, than an access easement will need to be created for that access driveway to the parcel it is serving. The applicant will need to create a plat for the subdivision. The applicant will need to insert Certificates as prescribed by the County for the necessary signatures (see attached). 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. 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. It is understood that no CCR's affect the subject property and that no CCR's are proposed. If this is the case, the applicant will need to request a waiver from this submittal requirement. The LUDC 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. As the application needs to be referred to the Colorado Geologic Survey, the referral form (attached) needs to be submitted with the application along with the applicable fee. The property is identified within the RE-1 School District. The applicant will need to provide the information as necessary identified within Section 7-404 of the LUDC for the determination of this fee. Specifically, an appraisal of the unimproved land, as defined in this Section, needs to be provided. II.
