The elevation ranges from 6360 to &20 feet. The property consists of 17.68 acres of gently sloping land west of County Road No. 111 and north of the Garfield Pitkin County line. Excellent views of Mount Sopris are available from this property to the south. This parcel and the surrounding land were historically used for agricultural purposes. As development pressures have grown and the profitability of ranching has decreased, more and more of the agricultural land in this area has been subdivided into residential lots. This is evidenced by Prince Creek Subdivision which borders this properry on the North and the residential developments which lie south of this property in pitkin county. The property is currently zoned Agricultural/Residential/ Rural Density, a zoning which allows a minimum lot size of two acres. This application has been prepared in conformance with the requirements of the Agricultural/Residential/Rural Density zoning, and includes eight single family residential lots with an average size of just over two acres each. The lots have been oriented to take maximum advantage of the views of Mount Sopris to the south. Building envelopes will be planned to take maximum advantage of the views while at the same time preserving views from adjoining lots and existing houses. The maximum building height allowed in this zone district is twenty five feet. A Homeowner's Association will be formed to manage and maintain the central water system and the roads. Protective Covenants for the subdivision will address issues such as septic system maintenance, architectural control and dog control. MOI]NTAIN MEADOWS AT PRINCE CREEK ACCESS The property is currently accessed from Carbondale via Dinkle Iake Road (County Road 1 11), a two lane paved roadway. This proposal includes a new interior cul de sac approximately 930 feet long which will serve seven out of the eight lots. The eighth lot contains an existing house, and will continue to be served by a common driveway off County Road 111. This driveway also serves two existing homes which are located immediately north of this property. The interior road will be constructed with eight foot lanes, two foot shoulders and four foot ditches, meeting the Garfield County Standards for a road designated "semi-primitive. Because of the straight alignment and flat grade (1.39%) of this road, it is felt that the long cul de sac length will not present a hindrance to emergency access. No on street parking will be allowed. MISCELLANEOUS UTILITIES Electric Service - Electric service for this area is currently provided by Hoty Cross Electric Association. There is an existing overhead line located approximately 100 feet east of Dinkle I-ake Road. This line currently serves the three existing homes, and is of adequate capacity to serve the seven additional lots within this subdivision. Electric service, as well as all other utilities, will be located underground in this subdivision to reduce the visual impacts to adjoining properties. Gas Service - Rocky Mountain Natural Gas is the natural gas supplier for this area. They have an existing transmission line in Dinkle Iake Road adjacent to this property, and currently provide service to the three homes immediately north of this property, as well as the Arbany Ranch south of this property. It is anticipated that both the facilities and the supply are adequate to serve the seven new residences in this development. 2 Telephone Service - U.S. West provides telephone service to residents in the Dinkle I-ake Area. U.S. West has a small existing cable which serves the current residents near this subdivision. Gary Gibson of U.S. West stated that this line is not adequate to serve the additional lots. It will need to be upgraded before service can be provided to this subdivision. Cable Television Service - TCI Cablevision provides cable television service to residents in this area, but at this time does not have cable service this far outside of Carbondale. The cost of extending cable for this number of lots would be prohibitive, so it is unlikely that cable television service will be made available to this subdivision. However, newer technology such as primestar satellite system is available at a relatively low cost, and this will probably be the option of choice for this subdivision. IMPACT This subdivision will not directly impact water courses or lakes, as none exist on this site. The existing drainage patterns Standard drainage components can be utilized to prevent runoff created by this development from exceeding historic flows. The primary impact to the topography will be from the construction of a road to serve the new lots on this site. Because this site is fairly flat with a uniform grade, roads can be built at grade with minimum cuts and fills. This will also allow easy access for driveways, minimizing their impact as well. Excess fill materials from building excavations will be used on site to optimize drainage around the buildings and also to create some variety in the landscapes through the use of berms, etc. No large scale or over lot grading is proposed, so the overall topography of the site will not be significantly changed. J RADIATION HAZARD For many years this property has been used for agricultural purposes. Hay crops have been raised here and it has been used for grazing. There are no industrial uses nearby which would have been expected to create a radiation hazard on this property. Although soils borings have not yet been done in this development, no radiationhazard is expected to exist on this property. 1 4 EXHIBIT A.

A list of restrictions necessary to minimize impacts to wildlife is inlcuded in this letter. The subdivision area currently consists of irrigated meadow and hay lands. A brushy area adjacent to Prince Creek borders the development on the west. I-a.rge cottonwood trees are located along the fence line at County Road 11 on the east side of the property. The existing single-family lots north of the property are landscaped with several cultivated spruce trees. Refer to Preliminary Plat drawing 4 of 6 for locations of the prominent vegetative features. 1 STATE OF COLOBADO Roy Romer, Governor DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WILDLIFE AN EOUAL OPPOFITUNITY EMPLOYEFI Perry D. Olson, Director 606 Broadway Denver, Colorado 80216 ret2tlolea E$2s7-11s2 Garfield County Planning 109 Bth St. , Suj-te 303 Gl-enwood Springs, CO 81601 REFER TO For Wildlife - For People Dear Dave: The Mountain Meadows at Prince Creek proposed subdivision lies within mule deer winter range and adjacent to critical habitat for mule deer and e1k on the Crown directly to the east. The proposed subdivision receives heavy mule deer use during the Spring as the fields start to green up. Loss of this area to the subdivision and its associated disturbance wiII disp}-ace the mule deer to adjacent ranches and increase game damage potential. The area will still receive some deer usage but that will depend upon the amount and type of disturbances. In the proposal the applicant stated that a Homeowner,sAssociation would be formed and that protective covenants will address issues such ai dog control. One of the most significant impacts to wildlife from this subdivision will be dogs that mayharass or chase mule deer or e1k. This can result in direct mortality as the dogs drag down and ki1I the animals or additivestress and energy expenditure which may use up vital energy reserves the animals may need to survive the winter. In addition,with the surrounding ranches dogs may also chase lj-vestock and their calves. This is especially sigmificant during the winter and spring. Protective covenants may be advisable but theygenerally do not work when it comes to dog control and are seldom enforced. In addition, with increased traffic on Prince Creek Road mule deer/vehicle collisions wil-I increase as there is a major roadcrossing just north of the subdivision. Homeowners will- also experience damage to ornamentals and landscaping plants. The DOW is not liable for this type of damage. It is possible that big game species will die on their property and homeowners will needto properly dispose of the carcasses. I beli-eve that j-t isimportant to inform potential buyers of these impacts. Imapcts to wildlife can be minimized by the following: 1. Restrict homeowners to 1 dog/home with a kennel restriction. The kennel should be constructed before the C.O. is issued. This should be in addition to any covenantsthe homeowners ,'may" create. DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, James S.

This unit is used mainly as rangeland. lt also is used as wildlife habitat. A few areas are used for homesite development. The potential plant community on this unit is mainly bluebunch wheatgrass, western wheat3rass, muttongrass, Douglas rabbitbrush, and mountain big sagebrush.

The average annual production ol air-dry vegetation is about 1,500 pounds per acre. lf the range condition deteriorates, mountain big sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, cheatgrass, and annual weeds increase in abundance. Suitable management practices include proper range use, delerred grazing, rotation grazing, aerial spraying, and a planned grazing system. The suitability of this soil for range seeding is poor. The main limitation is the slope. The slope limits access by livestock. The limited accessibility results in overgrazing of the less sloping areas. This unit is suited to homesite development. The main limitations are the slope and the hazard of erosion. Preserving the existing plant cover during construction helps to control erosion. Topsoil can be stockpiled and used to reclaim areas disturbed during construction. Erosion is a hazard in the steeper areas. Only the part of the site that is used for construction should be disturbed. Areas adjacent to hillsides are occasionally affected by runoff, which may be accompanied by the movement of rock debris.

DRAINAGE F. DRAINAGE There are no major drainage channels within the boundaries of this development. The land which is the subject of this application slopes gently to the northwest at grades of two to four percent. Prince Creek, a relatively small stream tributary to the Crystal River, is southwest of the Mountain Meadows Subdivision. Prince Creek has a watershed area of approximately 10.5 square miles, which would contribute to a 100-year peak flow of 240 cubic feet of water per second (cfs) Oased on regression formulas provided by the Colorado Water Conservation Board in their technical Manual No. 1). At its location nearest the Mountain Meadows Subdivision, Prince Creek in a gully approximately 30 feet deep, so it is apparent that the subdivision is entirely above the 100-year floodplain of the creek. The site is also well above the floodplain of the Crystal River. Off-Site Drainage Calculations for off-site drainage are based on the Soil Conversation Service Technical Release No. 55, "Procedures for Determining Peak Flow in Colorado", dated March 1980. A copy of the engineering calculations is attached, along with a map showing a conservatively large area that could potentially run off to the site, if it were not for the effects of existing roads and irrigation ditches. The end result is that the calculations predict flood flows exceeding those which can be expected to reach the site. Use of these flows for design builds in an added factor of safety. Off-site drainage will be intercepted by a drainage ditch that is to be constructed along the southern boundary of the Mountain Meadows site. There is a small existing berm in this general location that currently serves the same purpose, but it is not adequate to contain large flows. The proposed ditch has been designed to divert flow in excess of the 100-year peak flow. This ditch will discharge into Prince Creek. On-Site Drainage Calculations for on-site drainage are based on the Rational Method, assuming a25-year, lO-minute duration storm of 3.38 inches per hour. The Rational Method is more applicable to smaller drainage areas, and it is more readily used to determine the increased runoff caused by development. A copy of the engineering calculations for determining on-site runoff are also attached at the end of this report. On-site drainage from I-ots 1 through 4 will flow toward the northwest and will be intercepted by Drainage Ditch "B" the access road borrow ditch. Drainage Ditch "B" will convey the runoff from the roadside to Prince Creek. This ditch will be relatively small, since it will only have to contain runoff from a drainage area of approximately 8.5 acres. The 25-year peak flow in this ditch will be 7.4 cfs. The historic (before development) 25-year peak flow from this drainage area is 5.7 cfs. Detention of on-site runoff would provide little, if any, benefit. The low density of the proposed development will result in minimal increases in post-development runoff. Ditch "B" provides sufficient drainage capacity to Prince Creek. At that point, it combines with a much larger watercourse having a capacity to carry flows from a larger drainage area with a longer time of concentration. The combination of Prince Creek and Mountain Meadows hydrographs will have virtually no effect on downstream peak flows. Consequently, detention of on-site flows is not proposed. The remainder of the subdivision (-ots 5 through 8) will continue to drain toward the north' which has been the historic drainage pattern. The increase in runoff due to development will be offset by the fact that a portion of the historic drainage area will be intercepted by the access rod, thereby reducing the total area that will contribute runoff north of the site. Therefore, the total amount of runoff that will drain to the property north of the site will not be increased due to the proposed development. r o '\.-r A N t) 'u'' /-''/nA,l \_ J \l :,, '.. / ,, -,''.t \ /\:/ \ /\ ) ,J. \ AI / r)l)), l{// \).vnt/!o O\/i r.'/ \ ,/ \ ,/ \/ !v ..i .- A '-\/\ I ^r^J 'r]. ---r --:/)((- ,lf _,) \ t.

WATER SUPPLY PLAN G. WATBR SI]PPLY PLAI\ Domestic and Irrigation Water Water for domestic use will be provided to each site by a central water system which will be fed by a new well or wells to be drilled on the property. Water requirements for this subdivision will be approximately 10 gpm as shown below. Water requirements for the subdivision are based on the following criteria: 1. Site Development a. Population distribution Seven single-family lots @ 3.5 persons : 25 Prsons 2. Water Utility a. Domestic requirements 1) Per capita flows - Average day : 100 gpcd - Maximum day : 3.0 x average day, or 300 gpcd - Peak hour : 5.0 x average day, or 500 gpcd ii) Supply requirements - Average day : l'00 gpcd x 25 : 2,500 gpcd - Maximum day : 300 EPcd x 25 : 7,500 gpcd : 6 gpm - Peak hour : 500 gpcd x 25 : I2,5N gpcd : 9.9 gpm b. Irrigation Requirements i) The property is currently served by an underground pressure irrigation system. Each lot will be provided with access to the system for lawn irrigation pu{poses and all other outside water use. Because the system now serves the area proposed for development, no additional hydraulic capacity is anticipated. According to records from the Division of Water Resources, existing wells in the area range in depth from 125 to 200 feet deep. The well yields range from 10 to 15 gallons per minute, so it is expected that one well will have adequate capacity to serve this development. If more than one well is required in order to provide the required l0 gallons per minute, a second new well will be drilled. The new wells will be drilled a minimum of 600 feet away from existing wells in the area as required by the Division of Water Resources. An existing well currently serves the residence on I.ot 8 as well as the two existing residences north of this property under the terms of a Well, Water and Road Agreement recorded at Book 544, Page 155, Garfield County records. (See Exhibit B). This well was drilled in November, 1975 to a depth of 155 feet, and has a yield of 15 gallons per minute. Water service for Iot 8 will continue to be provided by this well which is located just inside the easterly line of I.ot 8. Water supplied from the well will be augmented by water from the Basalt Water Conservancy District through an existing contract. This contract is for 3.3 Ac-ftlyear and has been in place since July 10, 1984. Water for irrigation will be provided by the existing underground pressure irrigation system on the site. Each lot will be provided with access to the system for lawn irrigation purposes and all other outside water use. Because the system now serves the area proposed for development, no additional hydraulic capacity is anticipated. Water for the irrigation system is supplied by the East Mesa Ditch, which uses the Crystal River as its source. The water rights associated with this ditch are for 31.8 cfs with an appropriation date of 08/10/1894 making it one of the most senior water rights on the Crystal River. Other water rights on the Crystal that are senior to the Fast Mesa Ditch only total 41.08 cfs, so there should always be reliable physical supply of water for irrigation purposes. Since the Allens bought the property in 1975, there has never been a call on their water. Distribution System Since there is not a high enough elevation on the site to provide gravity service at adequate pressures, a hydropneumatic system is proposed. This system will consist of a well with a 10 GPM submersible pump, chlorination, and pressure tanks with a total capacity of 100 gallons housed in the control building. Additionally, a 40-ga11on hydropneumatic tank will be installed in each residence. The distribution system leading away from the pressure tank will be a 3-inch main with service lines constructed to the front property line of each lot. Fire storage will be provided by a 10,000 gallon cistern located near the cul-de-sac. This cistern will include automatic controls to assure that it remains full. A standpipe will be connected into the cistern to allow a pumper truck access to the fire storage. The domestic water supply system and the irrigation system will be common facilities, with ownership to be shared by the various owners of the lots of the subdivision. Construction of all common facilities will be paid for by the Developer. r DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION NO. 5, COLORADO Case No. APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RTGHTS, FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS AND FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR WATER RIGHTS OF: ANNELIESE K.

Names of structures to be augmented: Mountain Meadows Well No. I and Allen Well No. 1, decrees for which are being claimed in this case. 25. Previous decree for water rights to be used for augmentation: a. Up to 3.3 acre-feet of water secured under Applicant's Contract No. 3.3.5.40 under a contract with the Basalt Water Conservancy District. b. Ruedi Reservoir is operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation which has contracted for an allotment of water to the Basalt Water Conservancy District. c. Ruedi Reservoir is an on-channel reservoir located in the Northwest 1/4 of the Northeast 114 of Section 18, Township 8 South, Range 84 West of the 6th P.M. d. Ruedi Reservoir was originally decreed for 140,697.3 acre-feet with an appropriation date of July 29, 1957, for hydro-electric power generation, irrigation, municipal, domestic, industriai, piscatorial and stock water uses. Subsequently, in Case No. W-789-76, Water Division No. 5, the amount of water decreed to Ruedi Reservoir was reduced from 140,697.3 acre-feet to 102,369 acre-feet. e. Ruedi Reservoir is a component of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project, originally authorized for construction by the Act of August 16, 1962 (76 Stat. 389) as amended by the Act of October 27, 1974 (88 Stat. 1496) and the Act of November 3, 1978 (92 Stat. 2492) in substantial accordance with House Doc. No. 187 83d Cong., 1st Sess., as modified by House Doc. 353, 86th Cong. 2nd Sess., and is subject to the Operating Principles for the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project as set forth in House Doc. 130, 87th Cong., 1st Sess. 26. Statement of plan for augmentation, covering all applicable matters under C.R.S. 37 -92-103(9), 37 -92-302(1) and (2) and 37 -92-30s(8). a. Applicant is the owner of land described as follows: A parcel of land situated in Lots 8 and 9 of Section 11 and in Lots 3 and 4 of Section 14, all in Township 8 South, Range 88 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian, more particularly described as follows: Beginning at a point from which the brass cap witness corner set for the southwest corner of Section 11 of said Township and Range bears S. 58o36'04" W. 869.15 feet distant; thence along a fence line the following two (2) courses: 88"12'03" E. 173.07 feet 89"35', 12', E. 120.63 feet (1) N. (2) N. 6 to the intersection with a north south fence line; thence S. 01'45'40" E. 231 .44 feet along said fence line to an intersection with an east west fence line; thence N. 88'16'41" E. 739.99 feet along said fence line; thence S. 02"41'45* E. 530.78 feet to a point on the county line between Garfield County and Pitkin County; thence N. 90"00'00" W. 1434.55 feet along said county line to a point on a north south fence line; thence along said fence line the following five (5) courses: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) N. 19"44',01" N. 06"09',31" N. 09"29',08" N. 38025',59" N. 30" l7'23', E. 99.39 feet E. 14.81 feet E. 163.04 feet E. 371.83 feet E. 137.72 feet to the point of begiming. Said parcel of land contains 17.893 acres, more or less. COUNTY OF GARFIELD STATE OF COLORADO b. Applicant is currently obliged to serve Tracts A and B as described in paragraph 16 above with domestic water from Allen Well No. 1. c. Applicant intends to subdivide Applicant's property in Garfield County and described in paragraph26(a) above into eight (8) lots for eight (8) single-family dwelling units to be known as Mountain Meadows at Prince Creek. Lot 8 of Mountain Meadows at Prince Creek and Tract A and Tract B will be exclusively connected to Allen Well No. 1 (Permit No. 80997) and will not be connected to Mountain Meadows Well No. 1. Lots 1 through 7, Mountain Meadows at Prince Creek, will be served exclusively by Mountain Meadows Well No. 1 and will not be connected to Allen Well No. 1. There will be no connections between the two wells. d. Each of the eight (8) Lots in Mountain Meadows at Prince Creek and Tracts A and B will have the equivalent of two (2) shares in the East Mesa Water Company for use in irrigating the landscaping, foliage, gardens and meeting other outside water requirements on each such parcel. The proportionate shares in the East Mesa Water Company will be held for the benefit of each lot owner by the Mountain Meadows at Prince Creek Homeowners Association, a Colorado nonprofit corporation or, in the case of Tracts A and B, by the owners thereof. Therefore, due to ample surface irrigation water rights, no outside irrigation will be necessary or permitted from Mountain Meadows Well No. 1. The permit conditions of Allen Well No. I (No. 80997) limits all use to domestic purposes. e. The domestic in-house needs of each dwelling unit will be served by the Mountain Meadows Well No. 1 or Allen Well No. 1, which will be augmented with water from Ruedi Reservoir. Each of the ten (10) parcels will have a one single-family unit with an assumed demand of 4 people per unit at 80 gallons per capita per day (in- house only). Applicant anticipates that lvastewater treatment and disposal will be by ll lRs\ r I_tiN\w nl lt,t, septic tank/leach field systems with an estimated consumptive use of fifteen percent (15%) in the in-house diversions. The total annual diversions are estimated, to be 3.77 acre-feet with a consumptive use of .56 acre-feet per year. Table I is an engineering analysis attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, which presents the domestic requirements for the ten (10) dwellings. f. Transit losses between the outlet of the Ruedi Reservoir and the point of depletion are estimated to be five percent (5%) of the potential annual augmentation requirements. Depletions from the Mountain Meadows Well No. 1 and Allen Well No. 1 will affect the Roaring Fork River throughout the year. Although the Mountain Meadows Well No. 1 and Allen Well No. 1 water rights would be in priority during portions of the year, the Applicant plans to provide augmented water out of Ruedi Reservoir to cover one hundred percent (100%) of the maximum annual depletions due to the diversions of the well to adequately protect downstream vested water rights. Releases will be made from the Ruedi Reservoir pursuant to its contract with the Basalt Water Conservancy District, in amounts equal to the out-of-priority stream depletion associated with diversions under said water rights or as directed by the Division Engineer. 27 . Name and address of owner of land on which structures are located: Applicant's name and address is as stated in paragraph 1 above, except Ruedi Reservoir which is located on land owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, P.O. Box 36900, Billings, Montana, 59107 . 28. The Applicant will submit a well permit application for Mountain Meadows Well No. 1 to the State Engineer's Office for the well as applied for in this application. The well permit or denial of well permit will be filed with this Court before entry of decree. 29. Allen Well No. 1 is currently permitted as an exempt well by the State Engineer under Permit No. 80997.

SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLAN a H. SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLAN The wastewater from the homes in this proposed development will be treated by individual on-site septic system and absorbed into the ground through leach fields. The wastewater treatment systems are to be sized to conform with Garfield County sewage disposal regulations, which require percolati,on tests at each site. Preliminary percolation tests were conducted by Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. Results are summarizel in the attactred letter. Conventional individual septic disposal systems should be suitable for most of the development. Some lots may require engineered sand filters. The individual sewage disposal systems will be owned and maintained by the individual owners of each lot. The maintenance of these systems shall include the following: 1. Septic tanls shall be inspected and pumped at least once every two years by a licensed septic tank pumper. 2. Records shall be kept of all inspections, monitoring, conditions found, work done, pumping done, pumping done, etc. Records shall be available for inspection by the regulatory agencies. April 21, 1995 Dr. Wilmer C- Allen 1215 County Road 111 Carbondale, CO 81623 L*':1 "t1.rnsr, co 11601 Fax e70 945.8454 Plrone 970 945.7988 Job No. 195 208 Subject: percolation Testing, Proposed Mountain Meadows Subdivision, County Road 111: Prince Creek Road, Garfield Couuty, Colorado Dear Dr. Allen: As requested, we conducted perco)ation at the subject site to evaluats the feasibility of the subsoils tbr use in infiltration septic disposal systsms, The test holes were excavated about 3 feet deep with a backltoe and a one foot deep by one foot diameter hols was hand dug at the bottom of each pit. The percolation holes were presoaked on April 18 ancl the percolation tests were performed on April 19' 1995. The approximate loiations are shown on Fig. 1. No profile pit was excavatcd as this testing was for prelimir''rry clesign informatiou ouly. The test holes were covered to protect theru against freezing. T'he soils lxposecl in percolration holes P-l and P-2 consiste d of 2 to 3 feet of topsoil and firm tro sriff sandy silty clay overlying sandy gravel with cobbles. The percolation tests were perf'ormed in the lower sandy gravel. About I to I tlL feet of topsoil overlying silty clay wit[ silty sand lenses was observed in test holes P-3, ?-4, and P-5. We expect that the silty clays are underlain by sandy grarel. The percolation test results are presen,tsd in Table I. Based on our exploration and testing, the site should be suitable for conventional infllration septic disposal systclus. Systems based in the sandy gr:avel may require a sanrl filter due to the fast percolation rate ald should be designed by a civil engineer.
