Davis PROPERTY PIN #s: 3718-191-05-003, 3718-191-05-004 and 3718-194-01-001 ZONING: Rural This Sketch Plan is being presented and its preliminary plat will be approved on the condition that a rezoning from Rural to Mixed for Lots 1, 2 and 6 will be approved. A notice for the rezoning was not created in time for the August 23, 2023 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and as such the request to approve the notice will not be presented at this time. There is a need to rezone to Mixed in order to accommodate the 2.0-acre lot size having less than a 5-acre average for a subdivision which is not allowed in Rural. Site is surrounded on most sides by Mixed zoning. This proposal represents an update of a master plan that if approved by the county would allow by the CCR rules one (1) acre lots. As such, this Sketch Plan represents the master plan as well as what will be presented as a preliminary plat. PROPOSAL: A Major Subdivision proposal which involves Lots 1 and 2 of the Refuge West 1st Filing and Lot 6 of the Refuge West 3rd filing. Applicant proposes to split each lot in half to create six (6) lots of ranging from 1.5 acres to 2.14 acres in size: • What is now a 4.01-acre Lot 1 parcel will become Lot 7 (2.0 acres) and Lot 8 (2.01 acres). • What is now a 4.16-acre Lot 2 will become Lot 9 (2.14 acres) and Lot 10 (2.02 acres). • What is now Lot 6 at 4.06 acres will be split to create Lot 11 (1.72 acres), Lot 12 (1.5 acres) and a Common Area. 113 MA 23 PZC - SKETCH PLAN 2 The proposed six lots are not contiguous. A major subdivision will encourage the addition of Lots 3, 4 and 5 to create contiguous lots in a Major Subdivision. The nine-lot subdivision will contain 18.3 acres consisting of Lots 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 for a density of .49 acres a lot. History The property was purchased as Alpine Village I Lots 34, 35 and 36. The subject site, therefore, consisted of three (3) five plus acre parent tracts with the Alpine Village I Subdivision. In 2001, each of those lots were divided into two lots. • The First Filing consisted of the creation of Lots 1 and 2 only. The First Filing was a Simple Subdivision in its own parent tract. • The Second Filing was for Lots 3 & 4 where Lot 3 was 2.02 acres and Lot 4 was 2.01 acres. This filing was a Simple Subdivision in its own parent tract. • The Third Filing was for Lots 5 & 6 where Lot 5 was 2.05 acres and Lot 6 was 4.06 acres. This was also another Simple Subdivision in its own parent tract. 113 MA 23 PZC - SKETCH PLAN 3 The division of Lots 1, 2 and 6 is based on covenants which state these lots are to be included in a master plan. The proposed rezoning and subdivision will bring the subdivision into compliance with the master plan for the area and conform to surrounding lots of roughly 2.0 acres in size. Does The Property Have a Legal 60’ Easement: Yes. The lots will have access from the private Alpine Village Circle and Funk Fairway both of which will connect to Old Alpine Co. Rd. 12- 100 to the south. Alpine Village Circle has a 60-foot right-of-way and Funk Fairway has a 70-foot-wide right-of-way. Funk Fairway connects to Alpine Village Circle by crossing the Common Area through an easement agreement. The Airpark covenants allow for roads and taxiways to be used by both aircraft and vehicles. There is a north-south taxiway running between proposed Lots 5, 9 113 MA 23 PZC - SKETCH PLAN 4 and 10 and Lots 7, 8 and 3 is used for both airplanes and vehicles and with an 80 foot right-of - way, provides access to proposed Lots 9, 10 and 5.

WATER RIGHTS: NA WASTEWATER TYPE: Will be required to have enhanced septic systems. COMMUNITY PLAN AREA: Alpine, no limitations on this use. TOPOGRAPHY & SLOPE: There are no major topography issues.
