Dear Mr. Farrar,
Pursuant to our conversations earlier today, following are my recomnenda-tions for fire protection for the 30,000 gallon LP6 storage tank located at
7860 H'ighway 82.
The entire tank, piping and loading faci'lity should be enclosed within a
chain ljnk fence. A 10 lb ABC type ext'inquiser with a HA 60 BC rating
should be mounted and labeled near the fi'l1ing statjon area. All electri-cal wiring, fixtures, motors, etc. should be "explosion proof,, type.
Due to the fact that there'is not an adequate water supply available to ef-fectively "cool" the tank in case of fire, it is recommended that insula-t'ion be appl i ed to the tank . The j nsul at'ion need on 1y be appl i ed to the
bottom half of the tank. The insulation should be capable of limiting thetank temperature to not over 800'F for a minjmum of 50 minutes with a heatflux of 70,000 Btu's per hour per square foot.
The source of the above-mentioned recommendations is the National F'ire Pro-tection Assoc'iation (NEPA) Section 58.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 963-249r.

October 13, IgBI
fo the C.arfleld County Commissioners:
Re: Pat Groomrs request for Special Use Permit
As the previous owners of the property for vhich Mr. Pat Groom
requests a Special Use Per''mit for a Commercial Park, we feel, from personal
experience, that he will not fuIfiLI the required conditions for his Special
[se Permit.
Our own experience ruith Mr. Groom fulfilling a r,lrltten sale of
property eontract is evldenee of our doubts. The sale contract stated the
following: The buyer, Pat Groom, was to install, a culvert for fuII lenth of
irrigation ditcn as it passes through Sellerst (Ut. & Itus. Earo1d Lyons)
property; fill ln property to level of Sellers house wlth proper gra.d.e; stock-
pile top fiII from low areas before beginning filt; install a chain lirik fence
between Purehaserst and SeIIersr property. None of the above provisions of the
contract have been eompleted althought the contraet of sale was dated. JuLy L6,
L9T9 and, was to have been flrlfitled by January I, I!BO.
In the latter part of August f981, I, Harold l4rons, approached Mr.
Groom personally and inqui-red as to ruhen completion of the contract might take
place. I wa.s informed., verbally, that he, Pat Groom, lras not going to build
the chain llnk fenee between the properties, nor put in the a.dditional culvert
neeessary and cover it.
In addition, since hls purchase of said property, and up to the present
date, Mr. Groom has parked his equipment and vehicles on highvay property
adjacent to hls property. From our personal inquiries into the matter, no one
appears to have the authority in this county to demand the removal of Mr. Groomts
equipment from highway property. This "personal use of highvay propertyt' has
effectively bloeked the north-access to highway 82 wniefr had been in constant
use by the residence in the a.rea sinee highway 82 r,ras made a four lane highway.
Another a.rea that concerns us j-s that Mr. Groom, as a member of
Cattle Creek Water Assoeiation, has an exlsting share of Cattle Creek Water
which eonsiste of a Jf\" tap only. As members of the Association ourselves,
we would ljke to know how Mr. Groom plans to supply vater to hi-s propesed
buildings. Expanded use of this could greatly overtax the mechaniea.L aspeets
of the vater system.
We, as adjaeent property owners to Mr. Groom, sineerely question
Mr. Grooms true intentions. What we are concerned with here is; who ttill
enforce the demands of the Speeial Use Permit for Commercia.I Park once said
development is begun if such permisslon is grarbed? Who has the authority to
demand tha.t highway property be used. by the high$ay department and not used to
the benefit of commercial or even private developers? Why shouldntt aII pro-
perty owners up and. down the valley be all-oved. to make use of highray property
as Mr. Groom is doing?

Dear Terry:
Pursuant to our phone conversation this date regarding Pat Grooms
commercial development at the foot of Cattle Creek, I submit the
following.
At Lhe last meeting of the Association members the matter of pro-
viding addi-tional iaps for commercial use was dlscussed at great
lengtt. Though our associatlon was established to provide water
for domestic use, it i-s the opinion of our attorney, Mr' George
Petre that by a vote of a majority of the members we may a1low
commercial taps.
Various methods of control of these conmercial taps were discussed
such as meters, domestic use only etc' Then finally, since Mister
Groom assured us that he planned no further development which would
require additional use of water we tabled the matter. Two days later
I learned of his proposed commercial area and would like to state
my personal feeling as President of cattle creek water Association'
Prior to the time that any commitment for commercial use of \n'ater
from our system is made:
1. We would have to ascertain if such use
present bY-1aws.
2. A study would be provided by Mr. Groom
is permissable under our
outligning his estimated
consumPt ion.
3. A statement from Garfield outligning what they would require of
us should we al1ow taps for cornrnercial purposes'
4. Approval of the majority of of our shareholders for the allow-
ance for the sale of additional shares for commercial purposes '
It should also be understood by your office that according to our
by-laws, the right of use and ownership of said taps mey be revoked
"t any time by a vote of a majority of the shareholders.
If we can be of further service, please do not hesiLate to call'
rrang,

sibility of a condition thaE Mr. Groorn erect a fence on the south side of Mr. Parisr proPerEy' Commissioner

There was a continued Public Hearing regarding the proposed closure of Red Canyon Road, alsoknor.mas CounEyRoad 115. Leonard Bowlby, Road and Bridge Supervisor rras present and Ehen sworn in. Leonard feels that Red
Canyon Road is one of the most dangerous l-mile sEretches ln the County Road system and the needs for repairand maintenance to bring lt up to standards is not in the budget and they do not have any exEra money foi it.
Commissioner Velasquez asked if the structure of the road has been greatly damaged by the lack of maintenancefrom the closi.ng this winter. Leonard felt that lt dldnrE help lt, but rea11y didnrr damage it that mucheiEher. Chairman Cerise asked for comments fron the audience, statlng she and her husband just bought pro-perty and built a home 3.7 miles up the canyon and felt EhaE lf iE was closed and a fire srere to surround
Ehem, they would definicely need an alternaEe roule out of the canyon. Mrs. Linda Murr was then sworn in

who live Ehere. She feels the road is much safer than the County Rd. lI4.

make a defini.te answer' but the budget does oot have lt. AtEorney Rhodes stated that the statutory guidanceis very slim; sEating only chat Ehe County cannot vacate or leave a road that would leave the property
owners "land Locked." There is, if course, the County Rd. 114 access out of the canyon. CommissionerVelasquez Ehen nade a very strong statexoent Eo Ehe audience indlcating that if they left the road open andsomethin8, Eragic rrere Eo happen, then the Board would be left wide open Eo a lawsuit and then where wouldthese people be when that happened -- could they back the Conmissioners decisj.on?
Commissioner Drinkhouse lndicated he would llke to see the idea of the Home Omers Association Eaking overthe road and maintaining if themselves, as was suggested by Dr. Kel1er earlier. Attorney Rhodes stated thatthis would be hard to do, indicating all land would rever! back Lo the adjolning property owrrers and therejusE might be someone who didntt wish to give the land up for the portl,on of the road. It would be very dif-ficult.
The lengchy discussion ensued. Commissioner Velasquez made a motlon that the public Hearing be continued toApril 12 at 9:15 so rhere could be an on-site inspection with the Cornrnlssioners and Mr. Bowlby. Comnissioner
