Dear Mr. Tramm:

This letter confirms that on March 11, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), as the
Local Licensing Authority, provided local verification to the Medical Marijuana Enforcement
Division for MML, LLC's Optional Premises Cultivation Operation (OPCO).
You obtained local verification, in part, because you were operating in unincorporated Garfield
County prior to the June 21, 2010 moratorium. Because your OPCO was in place prior to the
amendments to the Unified Land Use Resolution (ULUR), your OPCO may be a pre-existing,
nonconforming use of the land. However, since that time, as you are aware the BOCC has passed the
Garfield County Ordinance 13-2 prohibiting any growing, selling, testing or manufacture of
recreational marijuana in Garfield County. There is no non -conforming use for these prohibited
activities.
The Community Development Department conducted a site visit on March 29, 2013 and you were
provided the information you needed to bring your OPCO into compliance with the County land use
and development codes.
Your architect has submitted plans for your required building permits and the Community
Development Department is currently reviewing those plans. No building permits have been issued.
At this point, your OPCO is not in full compliance due to the nine months it has taken to submit the
required plans; however, it appears you are working toward that goal.
Further, you mentioned when you stopped by my office that you were going to file a Change of
Ownership. Please also file a copy of the State Change of Ownership Application with the Garfield
County Clerk and Recorder once that has been submitted to the State Marijuana Enforcement
Division.
Thank you.
