PRACTICAL LOCATION: 1447 County Road 321 Rifle, CO 81650
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Minor Subdivision
ZONING: Rural
SIZE: 43.74 acres
I.GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing a minor subdivision to split the 43.74 acre property into two lots.
The site is zoned Rural. The applicant should note that the minimum lot size in the Rural
zone district is 2-acres. The property is currently improved with an existing single -family
residence and associated agricultural structures that are served by the spring and OWTS
(on-site wastewater treatment system). The applicant is proposing to serve the new lot with
a shared spring and additional OWTS.
The Subdivision requires a demonstration of legal and adequate water for both 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 spring production test will need to be conducted prior to application submittal
in accordance with Section 4-203(M)(1)(b)(5). The applicant may request that water quality
and quantity tests be conducted as conditions of approval. All conditions of approval must be
completed within 90 days of approval or an extension requested. The subdivision cannot be
finalized until all necessary conditions of approval are satisfied.

The existing parcel is accessed directly from County Road 321. The proposed new parcel
will need to demonstrate evidence of existing legal access through an easement on adjacent
properties or determine a driveway access directly from County Road 321 by way of a permit
from County Road and Bridge. All driveways and access roads need to conform to the
dimensional requirements in Section 7-107 of the LUDC.
The applicant will need to create a plat for the subdivision. The applicant’s Surveyors should
insert Certificates as 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. 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 is required to process the application. The property owner, per County
assessor records, will need to sign the application or provide a letter of authorization for
anyone else who will be working on the Application.

RE: Completeness Review Squires Minor Subdivision (MISA-6-21-8845)
Dear Glenn:
Thank you for your attention to the Squires Minor Subdivision (MISA-6-21-8845)
Application (“Application”). Below are the enumerated responses to each item you raised in your
July 28,2021 letter
1. Title Commitments need to cover both proposed lots.
The Title Commitment submitted with the Application is for all of schedule # R024478
and what will be both of your purposed Lots 1 and 2.
2. Address for Ray Flores needs to be reviewed and corrected.
The full and accurate physical and mailing address for neighbor RAYMOND J FLORES
is 1205 COUNTY ROAD 321 RIFLE CO 81650.
3. The Application needs to address the steep slopes located on the northly portion of the
site as reflected in the topographic details. This should be included in your responses to
Section 7-207.
The property has a moderate slope on the north side of the property and as such
has a known natural and geologic hazard for erosions, soil, rock, and mud slides. The
slope is and has historically been forested with native vegetation. The native vegetation
will remain on the slope and continue to reduce the risk of slides. The proposed use of
the parcels is limited to the southern half of the property and will not disturb the
vegetation or soil stability on the slope.

owners can be identified through records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or Assessor, or
through other means” Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, 4-101(E)(4). Section
24.65.6-101 requires that an Applicant notify a mineral estate owner who either (1) is identified
as such by the county tax assessor’s records; or (2) has filed in the Clerk and Recorder a request
for notification. If such records do nota identify any mineral estate owners, including their

Section 4-101(E)(1)(b)(4) of the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code, as amended.
As a result of that research, the Applicant certifies that the minerals are owned by the parties
listed below.
On October 15, 2020 we conducted the following tasks, and on March 23, 2021 we
certified that the information is correct:

requests for notification per C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101 and reviewed an updated Title
