Grand County approves well‑drilling, EMS station amendments and two preliminary plats
Summary
The board approved a well contract (not to exceed $49,307.77), a roughly $14,500 amendment to Rocky Mountain Civil for EMS Station 1, and preliminary plats for Winter Park Ranch (7 townhomes) and Fraser's Ridge (9 lots) with conditions addressing drainage, sprinklers and road improvements.
Grand County commissioners approved several infrastructure and land‑use items during their Nov. 25 meeting, including a contract for a new well, an amendment to engineering services for EMS Station 1 and two preliminary plats.
Project manager Jeff Hickam described a services contract with Winegar/Weingar Well Services (transcript spelling varies) for a proposed well near the Kremlin‑area road and bridge shop with a not‑to‑exceed cost of $49,307.77. Hickam said the well is estimated at about 500 feet, but if water is encountered sooner the county will pay less; the board approved the contract.
Hickam also presented Amendment No. 2 to a contract with Rocky Mountain Civil Consultants for the EMS Station 1 project to cover design changes and additional drainage, parking and sidewalk planning. Commissioners clarified a typographical discrepancy in the paperwork and approved the amendment with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $14,500.
On land use, Community Development staff presented a preliminary plat for seven townhome units in Winter Park Ranch (one fourplex and one threeplex). Staff recommended approval with 13 conditions — including compliance with roadside and landscaping requirements and fire department sign‑off on driveway variance — and the board approved the plat. Chris Manguso then presented the Fraser’s Ridge preliminary plat, a nine‑lot subdivision on about 10 acres; the applicant obtained a water‑augmentation plan that allows 3.21 acre‑feet per year and the board approved the plat with three conditions, including sprinkler requirements for each residence and agreed provisions for a gated emergency access.
Commissioners also reviewed vouchers in the finance report; Finance Director Lorena Bell said the week's vouchers totaled $1,825,034.18 and included an $1,581,798.04 payment to Big Valley Construction for EMS Station 1 work. The board voted to approve the vouchers.
