RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission December 20, 2005 4. AMENDED PLAT, Portions of Lots 51 & 52, Biock 10, 2nd Amended Plat, Carriage Hills 4th Filing, East side of Fish Creek Road, North of Whispering Pines Drive, Applicant: Melvin Dinner Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. He stated this is a request to combine portions of two lots, vacate a portion of right-of-way for Fish Creek Road, and rededicate the right-of-way to the road’s actual location. The amended plat will consolidate the remaining portions of Lots 51 and 52, Carriage Hills 4th filing, and incorporate the vacated portion of the original Fish Creek Road right-of-way, creating a lot that will be labeled Lot 53A. It will help clarify property lines, legal lot questions, and legal descriptions in an area planning staff believes has needed clarification for a number of years. The amended plat addresses the remnants of several plats dating back twenty years. Staff has concluded the remnant portion of Lot 52 is currently a legal lot, making this plat essentially a boundary-line adjustment. The existing Fish Creek Road right-of-way was platted in 1911, and is located along the east side of the lots. The actual location of Fish Creek Road is along the west side of the lots. This proposal includes a “trade” of right-of-way locations in order to reflect the correction location of Fish Creek Road. Jerry White, Larimer County right-of-way coordinator, has reviewed and approved this “trade.” This proposal complies with applicable sections of the Estes Valley Development Code. This request was submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to adjacent neighbors for consideration and comment. Comments were received from Town Attorney Greg White, Larimer County Engineering, and Larimer County Environmental Health. No significant issues or concerns were expressed by reviewing staff relative to code compliance or the provision of public services. No comments were received from neighboring property owners. Public Comment: None. It was moved and seconded (Hull/Klink) to recommend approval of the Amended Plat, Portions of Lots 51 & 52, Block 10, 2nd Amended Plat, Carriage Hills 4th Filing to the Board of County Commissioners, with the findings and conditions recommended by staff, and authorization for the Chair to sign the plat when the conditions are met and the plat is presented for signature, and the motion passed unanimously with one absent. CONDITIONS: 1. The dedication statement shall comply with the format set forth in the Estes Valley Development Code. 2. Utility easements (ten-foot) shall be dedicated around the perimeter of the lot. 3. The plat shall indicate existing easements to be vacated. 4. The vicinity map shall be corrected. 5. PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT and FINAL SUBDIVISION PLAT, Coyote Ridge Subdivision Phase I, Tracts I, II, III, & IV of the BLA of Portions of the South 1/2 of Section 8, T5N, R72W of the 6th PM, 2550 Devil’s Gulch Road, Applicant: Myers Estes Park, LLC Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. He stated this is a request to create five lots where four lots exist currently. In 2003, a boundary line adjustment was approved that created two six-acre lots, one 22-acre lot, and one 42-acre lot. The applicant proposes to retain the two six-acre lots and create two seven-acre lots, one six-acre open-space lot, and one 44-acre lot from the remaining 64 acres. The proposed 44- acre lot provides the area necessary for a potential five-lot open-space subdivision that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners in November 2003; the vesting period expires in November 2006. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission December 20, 2005 The plats include provision of limits of disturbance that preclude development from the steep slope area and ridgeline protection area, as weli as meet the grading and site disturbance standards of the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC) Section 10.5.B.2. The appiicant/owner has been notified that EVDC Section 7.3, Tree and Vegetation Protection standards, and Appendix D.VII, which includes root protection standards for the installation of utiiities and drives, apply to the subdivision both now and in the future. The site contains both wetlands and stream corridors in the southwest portion of the site, which will be protected from development via the use of limits of disturbance and a non-buiidable outlet. A portion of the site is within a mapped wildfire hazard area and has also been set outside the iimits of disturbance. The State Geological Survey has reviewed the site and found no geologic hazards. Lots 1 through 4 will share the existing drive that connects to Devil’s Gulch Road. Lot 5 will receive access through Eagle Rock Ranches and will be part of the recently approved Eagle Rock Ranches Property Improvement District. A twenty- foot-wide pubiic trail easement along Devil’s Gulch Road was dedicated with the boundary line adjustment in 2003. Lots 1 through 4 wili be served by wells for which permits have been issued. The fifth lot will be served by an extension of the water main located adjacent to Dry Gulch Road. The line will not be installed until a building permit is applied for; the cost and responsibilities associated with installation of the main should be made clear in the required disclosure notice to any prospective buyer. Each lot will be served by on-site septic systems. This request was submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and to adjacent neighbors for consideration and comment. Comments were received from Town Attorney White, Estes Park Public Works Department, Larimer County Engineering Department, Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. No significant issues or concerns ™?htTr®SSed by r“9 relative to code compliance or the prot?s “n o1 public services.
