Snyder applied for and was granted a High Impact Permit from Montezuma County. According to the letter of application, Snyder plans to build a 2000 sf catering kitchen on the property. Additionally, in his High Impact Permit Application, Snyder proposes to build additional storage units and a 3000 sf popcorn manufacturing and storage facility. Since the property is adjacent to the City limits, the City Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request and their comments were sent to the County: “Given its location, the City Planning and Zoning Commission believes that future planned development would be appropriate to occur in the City with City standards, and at a minimum, will request a pre-annexation agreement before water taps are provided.” The property is located adjacent to City limits on the south and east, and City-owned open space on the north and west and is eligible for annexation. COMMENTS According to Manager Jan Nelson, The property is within the Sanitation District boundaries and a connection will be required. Building Official Sean Canada stated that: The water tap sizing is based on the usage, determined by the Drain Fixture Units (DFU’s), which is calculated by the design professional or the project engineer. A commercial kitchen that is 2000 square feet has a design occupant load of 10 – under State law it must be designed by a Colorado licensed architect or engineer. If there is a chance that the City will annex the property, we should “require” those plans or the calculated DFU’s before issuing a water tap. Community and Economic Development Director Rachael Marchbanks, Contract City Planner Nancy Dosdall, and Water Superintendent Rich Landreth have all stated their recommendation of requiring annexation of the property.
