SURVEYOR
SCOTT AIBNER, P.L.S
Molly,
Upon review of this project it appears that the intention is to eliminate lot lines within Block Ten of the
Townsite of Cooperton Plat. If this cannot be achieved with a Lot Line Adjustment then 1 suggest an Amended
Plat is in order.
Let me know if 1 can assist further with this matter.
Sincerely,
Scott Aibner
Garfield County Surveyor
