Commissioners approve Granby Ranch South Three exemption with plat notes limiting construction and well eligibility

Jul 7, 2026

The Board approved an outright exemption allowing a 3-acre unincorporated parcel to remain with Granby Ranch with two plat notes: no structural buildings may be constructed on the parcel while it exists as a separate tract, and the lot does not qualify for an independent well permit.

The full story

Community Development Director Kris Manguso presented an outright exemption request on behalf of property owners Christopher and Sonia Bennett, explaining the 3-acre parcel will remain unincorporated as a long-term planning tool to allow future safe realignment of County Road 88 with the Snow Mountain Ranch entrance. Staff included two binding plat notes: the parcel may not have structural buildings while it exists separately, and the 3-acre lot does not qualify for an independent well permit. The Grand County Planning Commission recommended approval with four standard conditions; Commissioner Randal F. George moved to approve the exemption and the motion passed unanimously.
