CASE NUMBER: RES14-0001
APPLICANT: LAKE ARROWHEAD INC.
PLANNER: CHRIS GATHMAN
REQUEST. APPLICATION FOR A RESUBDIVISION TO DIVIDE TRACT A OF ARROWHEAD
SUBDIVISION 4TH FILING INTO TWO LOTS. THIS APPLICATION IS BEING
PROCESSED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHANGE OF ZONE COZ14-0005.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: TRACT A ARROWHEAD 4TH FILING; LOCATED IN PART OF THE N2 OF
SECTION 27, T5N, R66W OF THE 6TH P.M.,WELD COUNTY, COLORADO.
LOCATION: SOUTH OF AND ADJACENT TO WEST 37TH STREET AND
APPROXIMATELY 1,500 FEET WEST OF 47TH AVENUE.
Chris Gathman, Planning Services, stated that the applicants are applying to divide Tract A into two(2)lots,
approximately 5.3 acres each in size. A good portion of the property is in the floodway/floodplain. Mr.
Gathman noted that there was a previous application for this tract of land in 1998 and was presented to the
Utility Board. He was unable to find minutes from the Utility Board but did find minutes from the Board of
County Commissioner hearing. In the minutes, the County Commissioners talked about providing a 15 foot
drainage and utility easement to the back of the property as well as another 15 foot drainage and utility
easement between the two lots, one by the road and another one by the cul de sac.
Mr.Gathman stated that staff recommended: 1)keeping the existing platted easements for Tract A delineated
on the Arrowhead Fourth Filing plat 2)delineating a 15 foot drainage and utility easement along Kiowa Drive;
3) delineating a 15 foot utility easement along that section of Pawnee Drive that doesn't presently have an
easement; and 4) Delineating a 10 utility easement along Tract A/ Lot 1 boundary, which is located on the
southeastern portion of the site.
Jerry Adams said that he was not sure where the 10 foot easement was that staff noted. Mr. Gathman said
the original map did not show it;however it appears that the applicants have identified it on the proposed map.
Jerry asked that the utility signature block be included on the plat according to Section 27-9-40.B so affected
utilities will have a chance to see it and sign off on it.
Mr.Gathman said that the standard for a new lot line is the required 10 foot on either side of that property line.
He added that this property line will be running right through the floodplain area. He further added that 37th
Avenue along the north side has no easement. Mr. Adams asked the Utility Board if they see any need of
keeping the required 20 foot easement. Mr. Adams felt that it could be useful as an access way from
Arrowhead out to 37th Avenue. The Utility Board agreed with that. Eric Wernsman,applicant's representative,
asked if it could be identified as a utility/drainage easement. The Utility Board agreed with that suggestion.
Mr. Adams summarized the changes by incorporating all the staff recommendations 1-4, delineate 20 foot
utility and drainage easement apportioned equally between Lots 1 and 2,along the proposed lot line and add
the Utility's Service Statement Block to the plat. The motion was made by Robert Fleck, seconded by Rich
Hastings.
Meeting adjourned at 10:19 a.m.
Respectfully submitted.
