RE: Budau Minor Subdivision
5807 CR 320
Rifle, CO 81650
Dear Mr. Hooper,
Please let this letter serve to as both a transmittal letter and a narrative describing the request and related
information in support of the Submittal Requirements for the Minor Subdivision of the Budau Property located at
5807 CR 320, Rifle, Colorado.
This letter follows your March 25, 2020 letter (Pre-Application Conference Summary) to Ms. Budau. As you may
recall, the purpose of the Minor Subdivision Application is that Ms. Budau is proposing to subdivide her 11.03 acre
parcel that presently contains her existing residence into a total of 3 parcels with the smallest parcel of the three
being 2.01 acres in size. The existing 11.03 acre parcel is proposed to be subdivided into a 6.99 acre parcel which
is where the existing house, well and OWTS resides. It is labeled as Lot 1 on the attached preliminary and final
subdivision plats. The other two lots will be served by a new well that will exist on Lot 1 (to meet required well
setbacks) and they are identified as Lot 2 (2.01 acres) and Lot 3 (2.02 acres). We are requesting as part of this
application that the water quality test and 4-hour pump test that needs to be conducted prior to application in
accordance to Section 4-203(M)(1)(b)(5)(c) of the LU&DC be conducted as conditions of approval for this minor
subdivision.
Each parcel is to be served by individual Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS). You will find in the
attached submittal documentation the representative information that the applicant has demonstrated the
adequacy of the existing and proposed OWTS.
The long-term legal and physical access to the County Road (CR 320, Rifle to Rulison Road) have been discussed in
the application to meet the requirements of Section 7-107.
You will find attached the proposed plat with the information described in Section 5-402(F) of which the surface
owners and mineral owners have been provided in the submittal as well.
No CCR’s affect the subject property and as such, no CCR’s are proposed. However, a water well sharing agreement
is provided as required for well sharing of Lot’s 2 and 3.
You will find 3 copies of the submittal which consists of a bound document of a variety of reports, legal information
and information necessary to notice the adjacent land owners and mineral owners. Also, a set of drawings

RE: Standards Compliance, Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4
Budau Minor Subdivision
The purpose of this document is to address the compliance of the proposed Budau Minor Subdivision as
it relates Division 1, 2,3 and 4 of the Garfield County Land Use Code, Article 7: Standards. Please note the
following:
Division 1. General Approval Standards
The existing property containing the Budau Minor Subdivision will comply with Article 3, Zoning, of the
LUDC. The zone district is rural and therefore, will require no lots to be less than 2 acres in size. This is
the case for the proposed subdivision. Compliance with the Rural Zoning of the existing property will
continue to be the case for the proposed subdivision. Set backs and all other pertinent zone district
regulations for the Rural zone are intended to be complied with. No overlay districts or zones exists nor
are any proposed.
The proposed subdivision is in general conformance with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan.
Maintaining the Rural zone district and complying with the zone district regulations required identifies
the compatibility of the subdivision with the surrounding rural single-family homes and properties.
The source of water for the proposed uses (three residential homes) will be from that of wells. Review of
surrounding well depths and rates of production as well as review of the existing well on Lot 1 reflects the
probability of a competent well to be drilled to jointly serve lots 2 and 3 to be high. A variance from the
well drilling prior to review has been requested with this application and it is acknowledged that drilling a
well with adequate quantity and quality water will be required prior to recording the final plat.
The wastewater system for the lots will be through the design and construction of Onsite Wastewater
Treatment Systems in accordance to the County’s OWTS regulations and their adoption of Regulation 43
of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The existing home already exists with a
compliant and working OWTS while the two proposed lots have been evaluated to exist with soil
conditions that will provide code complying systems of ample size to properly treat and dispose of
domestic wastewater from the homes.
www.s gm-inc .com
GLENWOOD SPRINGS 118 West Sixth St, Suite 200 | Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 | 970.945.1004
Electric and telephone exist in the right of way in CR 320 as well as serve the existing property (to become
Lot 1). A standard application for service for each of those utilities will be required at the time of building
permit and easements to provide service to each lot has been provided as well. It is proposed that each
lot will be served individually by propane gas as does proposed Lot 1 currently is served. Dedication of
the utility easements will be provided with the recording of the final plat.
The roadways have been designed to provide for adequate and safe access. Currently, proposed Lot 1 is
accessed through a shared driveway from CR 320 which is in a 30-foot wide non-exclusive easement.
Maintenance on the driveway is performed by the users of the driveway, including the applicant of the
Budau Minor Subdivision. The proposed driveway to the two new lots will be constructed to tie into this
driveway o the non-exclusive easement at approximately 50 feet from the existing driveway tying on to
CR 320. Adequate site distance exists with the driveway and capacity of the shared driveway, for the
expanded use of the two additional lots, has ample capacity as the addition of the two lots does not push
the roadway standard beyond the Semi Primitive standard that exists for the shared driveway now.
From a drainage and grading standpoint, all parameters for the semi primitive classification are met within
this first 50’ of the existing roadway. Thus, no improvements for this section are proposed. A driveway
will be constructed for Lots 2 and 3 that is proposed to be a 12’ wide gravel driveway meeting the
standards for a Primitive/driveway classification in the Land Use Code. The site plan reflects the
construction of the driveway proposed to serve Lots 2 and 3. A culvert will be placed along the northside
of the existing driveway (for crossing the new driveway) where drainage on the east side of the new
driveway will cross into the existing borrow ditch for the existing driveway. In this manner, drainage
patterns will be maintained as existing. Note that the subdivision does not exist in any areas of identified
natural and geologic hazards. Fire protection for the subdivision and creation of the two additional lots is
proposed to remain as currently exists for the existing and neighboring lots.
Division 2. General Resource Protection Standards
With the development of the property into two approximately 2 acre lots and one 7 acre lot, there will
not be any changes to the proposed zoning nor current uses as currently exist on these and surrounding
properties. All regulations pertaining to zoning and land use will be complied with as well as the current
drainage patterns and irrigation practices for the properties will continue to exist.
Protection of waterbodies will exist in the form of providing appropriate protections for drainage, erosion
control and sedimentation. For the development of the minor subdivision, the only grading activities
proposed are those for the construction of the shared drive way to lots 2 and 3 and the minor grading
required to backfill a water line trench from the proposed shared well to the lots. Revegetation and
www.s gm-inc .com
GLENWOOD SPRINGS 118 West Sixth St, Suite 200 | Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 | 970.945.1004
standard BMP’s for erosion and sedimentation control will be provided. It is not anticipated that the
overall disturbance from the work will impact an area well below the 1 acre threshold.
The subdivision does not exist within 100 feet of a waterbody and the major improvement (ie., driveway)
is only expected to disturb approximately 2100 to 3000 square feet (much less than the 10,000 sf
threshold). Impervious area development would be that of the additional roofs for the two single family
homes that ultimately would be built. These two homes are not expected to exceed 2,000 to 2,500 sf of
impervious area when built.
Other issues of concern are Environmental Quality, Wildfire Hazards, Natural and Geologic Hazards,
Reclamation are considered de-minimus as the proposed development of the homes will be following the
requirements for building permit and OWTS permitting requirements when individual on lot development
of Lots 2 and 3 area proposed.
Division 3. Site Planning and Development Standards
Per the Division 3 requirements, the design of development associated with the land use change shall be
compatible with the existing character of the adjacent uses. Single-family dwelling units are exempt from
this section. As noted previously, the proposed creation of the new two Rural Zoned lots are intended to
continue to be compatible with the existing character of adjacent uses and are intended to be developed
for single-family dwellings.
Division 4. General Subdivision Standards
Maintenance of the common facilities for the driveway and well sharing will be performed under a
separate maintenance agreement for the common driveway and well for Lot 2 and 3. A separate draft
well sharing agreement is provided in Appendix G. Easements for access using the existing shared
driveway will also be dedicated for use to Lot 2 and 3 by signatory of the owner of Lot 1. Likewise, a
separate maintenance agreement will be provided for use of the existing shared driveway is proposed.
All lots are shown to meet the requirements of the Rural zone district with the characteristics of the two
new lots to be appropriate for the single-family use proposed. At or prior to recording of the final plat,
the lot corners of the new lots created shall be monumented per CRS 38-51-104 and 30-51-105.
At or prior to recordation of the final plat, the payment-in-lieu of dedication of school land will be provided
to the RE-2 school district in accordance to the requirements of 7-404 of Article 7 of the LUDC.

RE: Payment-In-Lieu of Dedication of School Land
Budau Minor Subdivision
The purpose of this document is to address the value of the payment-in -lieu of dedication of school land for the
Budau Minor Subdivision. Based upon the Garfield County Land Use Code, the property is within the RE-2 School
District and is subject to a $200 per dwelling unit to be paid after final plat approval.
The property is proposing to create two additional lots over the existing lot that contains an existing home
(dwelling unit). Thus, for the two additional lots (dwelling units) the total fee is $400 to be made to the Garfield
RE-2 School District.

RE: Engineering Report – Summary Letter
Budau Minor Subdivision
SGM Inc. is pleased to submit this Engineering Report for the proposed Budau Minor Subdivision.
Site Description
This project site consists of a 11.02-acre parcel of land situated in SW1/4NW1/4 Section 26 and
SE1/4NE1/4 Section 27, Township 6 South, Range 94 West of the 6th P.M., Garfield County, Colorado.
The property is located at 5807 County Road 320 in Rifle, Colorado and is approximately 1000 feet east
of the Colorado River.
Site Conditions
The site is currently developed with 2-story log home, metal barn, and site access drives consisting of
dirt roads, with a water well and onsite septic system. Future development on the site will consist of two
(2) single family homes located on the proposed lots 2 and 3 with associate driveways and utilities. Site
vegetation consists of native trees and grasses with a small garden area and minimal landscaping around
the home. No critical environmental features were found on site. The property slopes to the west with
an average slope of 3-6%. Soils found onsite consist of Olney Loam which is a well-drained gravelly sandy
clay loam, as described by the NRCS Soil Survey. No portion of this site is within the 100-year floodplain
per FEMA Panel 0802051350B dated December 15, 1977 for Garfield County, Colorado.
Roads
The site is located adjacent to County Road 320 on the west side of the road with approximately 38.5
feet of frontage. 15 feet of an existing 30-foot Non-Exclusive Road Easement runs along the southern
property line from the roadway frontage west through the property. The portions of this easement
within the subject track are recorded in document numbers 929939. 436386 and 621466 of the Official
Public Recodes of Garfield County. A 12-foot to 16-foot dirt road currently exists within the easement to
serve this and adjacent properties to the south and west. This existing drive and easement will also
serve as access to lots 1 and 3 of the proposed subdivision. A 20-foot Access and Utility Easement is
being proposed per this plat to serve Lot 2. A proposed 12’ gravel drive is proposed within this
easement.
Trails, Walkways and Bikeways
No trails, walkways or bikeways are being proposed with this plat

Water
The proposed Lot 1 of this subdivision is currently served by an existing water well with State permit
number 126177. The existing well utilizes 5.5-inch diameter plain steel casing to a depth of 70 feet and
5.5-inch diameter perforated steel casing from 70 to 80 feet depth. Initial test results yielded a supply of
over 5 GPM for 2 hours with a static water level prior to testing of 48-foot depth and a final pumping
water level of 70-foot depth. Proposed Lots 2 and 3 will be served by a shared well to be installed prior
to building permitting for future single-family residential buildings. A shared well agreement and permit
will be in place prior to construction.
Sewage
The proposed Lot 1 of this subdivision is currently served by an existing OWTS consisting of a 1000-
gallon septic tank and 21-foot wide by 45-foot long by 3-foot deep leach field permitted under Garfield
County Individual Sewer Disposal Permit number 1119. Lots 2 and 3 of this proposed subdivision will be
served by individual onsite wastewater treatment systems that are to be permitted prior to building
construction. Initial investigation and calculations show that a 1,250-gallon septic tank with a minimum
of an 808 square foot soil treatment area would be required for a 4-bedroom house based on the soil
conditions obtained from the NRCS Soil Survey.
Drainage
Onsite stormwater flows are conveyed overland to the west and drain onto adjacent property where
they are conveyed to the Colorado River. Upstream flows are proposed to be conveyed within a ditch
and culvert along the proposed driveway. A drainage analysis has been performed using the Rational
Method with the Hydraflow Hydrograph Extension for Autodesk Civil 3D. Rainfall intensities for analysis
have been obtained from NOAA Atlas 14, Volume 8, Version 2 for Latitude: 39.4995°, Longitude: -
107.8617° located on the site. Stormwater discharge results for the 2, 25 and 100-year storm events are
presented in the Groundwater Drainage Report.

RE: Engineering Report – Groundwater Drainage
Budau Minor Subdivision
SGM Inc. is pleased to submit this Engineering Report for the proposed Budau Minor Subdivision.
Site Description
This project site consists of a 11.02-acre parcel of land situated in SW1/4NW1/4 Section 26 and
SE1/4NE1/4 Section 27, Township 6 South, Range 94 West of the 6th P.M., Garfield County, Colorado.
The property is located at 5807 County Road 320 in Rifle, Colorado and is approximately 1000 feet east
of the Colorado River.
Site Conditions
The site is currently developed with 2-story log home, metal barn, and site access drives consisting of
gravel roads, with a water well and onsite septic system. Future development on the site will consist of
two (2) single family homes located on the proposed lots 2 and 3 with associate driveways and utilities.
Site vegetation consists of native trees and grasses with a small garden area and minimal landscaping
around the home. No critical environmental features were found on site. The property slopes to the
west with an average slope of 3-6%. Soils found onsite consist of Olney Loam, which is a well-drained
gravelly sandy clay loam, as described by the NRCS Soil Survey. No portion of this site is within the 100-
year floodplain per FEMA Panel 0802051350B dated December 15, 1977 for Garfield County, Colorado.
Drainage
Onsite stormwater flows are conveyed overland to the west and drain onto adjacent property where
they are conveyed to the Colorado River. A drainage analysis has been performed using the Rational
Method with the Hydraflow Hydrograph Extension for Autodesk Civil 3D. The longest flow path is
approximately 1,350 feet across the site. TR-55 calculations were performed for the flow path with a
sheet flow length of 300 feet and the remaining 1,050 feet using shallow concentrated flows resulting in
a 23-minute time of concentration. Rainfall intensities for analysis have been obtained from NOAA Atlas
14, Volume 8, Version 2 for Latitude: 39.4995°, Longitude: -107.8617° located on the site. The following
table summarizes onsite stormwater discharge results for the 2, 25 and 100-year storm events.

Table 1: Onsite Drainage Summary
A drainage area of approximately 0.6 acres with a flow path of 200 feet generates stormwater runoff
upstream of the proposed driveway location. These upstream flows are to be conveyed along the
proposed driveway through an earthen ditch and culvert. A graphical representation of this drainage
area is shown in Figure 1 below.

RE: Driveway Permit Exemption Letter Request
Budau Minor Subdivision
5807 CR 320, Rifle, Colorado
Dear Dale,
The purpose of this letter is to request to the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department for an
exemption letter in support of the application for a Minor Subdivision of the Budau property located at
5807 CR 320, Rifle, Colorado. This letter is being requested in support of meeting the submittal
requirements for the application to the Planning Department for this Minor Subdivision.
Ms. Budau is proposing to split her existing 11 +/- acre parcel into a total of three (3) lots. It will be split
into a seven (7) acre lot that she will retain and which the existing home is sited on. The second two lots
would be created at the east end of the 11 acre parcel, each being 2 acres in size. Currently, Ms. Bedau’s
property is accessed through a shared driveway from CR 320 which is in a 30-foot-wide non-exclusive
easement. Maintenance on this driveway is performed by the users of the driveway, including Ms. Budau.
The proposed driveway to the two new lots will be constructed to tie into this driveway on the non-
exclusive easement at approximately 50 feet from the existing driveway tying onto CR 320. The following
figure (Figure 1) helps describe the foregoing discussion.

For the existing driveway tie to CR 320, there is in excess of 900 feet of sight distance to the west on CR
320 while the sight distance to the east is in excess of 1,000 feet. CR 320 slopes from east to west with a
culvert located at the Savage property access that crosses CR 320 to the south west beyond the driveway
that accesses private property to the south. Therefore, roadway drainage from CR 320 is very minor
localized drainage that is intended to flow to the northwest on the north side of the existing driveway to
an existing irrigation ditch that ultimately crosses the driveway to the south. It is intended to maintain
this drainage pattern by improving the borrow ditch with a culvert crossing the proposed driveway.
Given the localized drainage volumes, the minor drainage improvements proposed on the existing
driveway and the existing drainage patterns, we do not anticipate that there will be a need for any
additional improvement needs with the existing driveway tie to CR 320.
We have attached documentation that describes the access easements to be utilized for the existing
driveway as well as the legal description of the Budau and Pearson properties.

Currently, no contractor has been selected to perform the construction of the proposed driveway as this
is yet to be determined based upon the outcome of the land use application for this Minor Subdivision
proposal.
Of course, we are in a position to meet with you to identify the property pin locations as may be necessary.
We can tell you that the on-site fence lines generally describe the property locations.
Upon your receipt and review, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,
