Dear Stan:

Thank you for the valid development application made on behalf of Ursula Cowgill submitted on May 20,
2003. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the application has been deemed technically non-
compliant for the following reasons:
l . Pursuant to Section 4 :50(D) of the Subdivision Regulations, the Preliminary Plan map shall include

and/or through the building envelopes... ". No irrigation ditches are represented on the Preliminary Plan
maps. Please identify these ditches on the maps as applicable.
3. Per our conversation this week, it was my understanding that you had spoken to Kelly Woods of
the CDOW regarding obtaining written comments regarding wildlife habitat on the subject property to be
submitted with the application. I under that Ms. Woods would not provide comments until she received an
application from Garfield County, which is standard practice. However, pursuant to Section 4 :70(D),
Wildlife, of the Subdivision Regulations, please provide a general statement as to the wildlife habitat on the
property. If you are unsuccessful obtaining the wildlife habitat designations on the subject property from
CDOW, you may contact the County's GIS Department to obtain this mapping.

I be "the same scale as the Preliminary Plan ". Please submit a 24" X 36" Drainage Plan map in accordance

4:92(D), testing shall be preformed and the results shall be submitted to the County. In addition, the
location of individual sewage disposal systems shall be identified on the Preliminary Plan maps.
