Please request the County Commissioners to grant us an addi- tional 30 day extension to file the final plat in this matter. We have had substantial delays in getting the plat finalized due to Shale Country Surveying's work on several other projects the family has been pursuing this year.

COfti 1SS l E 'S PA' Subject: Review of the Bingman Corner Subdivision Exemption Application John, I have reviewed the request made by Joan L. Savage and offer the following regarding the fire protection plan submitted: 1. The property, described and shown on the attached reference map, is actually within the Grand Valley Fire Protection District's boundaries. Chief Morgan of the Rifle Fire Protection District has therefore forwarded the exemption application to me for review. 2. We would request that the County Commissioners abide by the NFPA 299, Standard for Protection of Life and Property from Wildfire recommendations as it relates to driveways. a) All driveways shall provide a minimum unobstructed width of 12 ft (3.7 m) and minimum unobstructed vertical clearance of 15 ft (4.6 m). b) All curb cuts at entrances to driveways or other private ways shall be of sufficient width to permit safe travel by emergency vehicles at all times of year. c) Turnouts shall be designed and constructed every 400 ft (122 m) along the driveway's length. d) A turnaround shall be provided at all building or structure sites on driveways over 300 ft (91 m) in length and shall be within 50 ft (15.2 m) of the building or structure. e) In addition, where applicable, all driveways shall conform with NFPA 1141. 3. The closest municipal water main or fire hydrant is located. on Battlement Mesa. The closest designated dry hydrant connection is located at the Old Flora Deere Pond, west of Rulison on Highway 6. 4. Without knowing the size of the structures to be built, there is no way of accurately stating if the seasonal irrigation and or ditch sources will be able to "provide fire flow volumes". These types of water sources should be used with caution when figuring fire flow volumes. Due to the nature of their sources, season of the year, upstream calls on water demands and the sometime complexities of the systems themselves, we would tend to use such systems as ancillary systems rather than as a primary water source system. During this past summer, we had undertaken a water source location project, which included David Clark's pond, located south of this proposed subdivision. Mr. Clark stated that at this time the pond has minimal water in it because of sediment build up. It is his intention to have it dug out, but not in the near future. Currently he is working on building his own home on his property. There is no agreement in place to cross onto his land to use his water in the event of a wild fire or structure fire at this time. This would have to be put in place after he finishes the renovation of the pond. Cache Creek is located approximately 1 mile away and 550 feet in elevation drop/rise from the Savage property and could be used as a seasonal water source for filling tenders. The closest year round source of water to the Savage property is the Colorado River, approximately 4 miles away and 1350 feet in elevation drop/rise. Access to the Colorado River is limited by fencing and terrain. A truck cannot be placed close enough to the river to supply other trucks with water. All water to fill trucks will have to be pumped using portable float pumps. 5. The Savage property has been designated as a "low hazard" area according to the county wild fire hazard mapping designation. Vegetation in the area is consistent with Mr. Savage's letter of application. 6. The Colorado State Forest Service, Grand Junction District, has advised me that there is no longer a CSFS Wildfire guideline. The CSFS has been using the NFPA 299, Standard for Protection of Life and Property from Wildfire for the past several years. In addition, they promote the use of "Defensible Space" and accessibility to properties. Copies of materials which may further define/describe these topics can be obtained from the CSFS or from the GVFPD. If the NFPA 299 standard is made apart of the exemption plat as stated by Mr. Savage, and compliance is required, concerns of the Grand Valley Fire Protection District should be met. In summary, I do not see any reason to deny this application as long as the above conditions can be met. It must also be understood that this review is given with the understanding that the two 17.7 acre parcels are being used as single residence properties and not multi -residence properties, i.e. true subdivisions. If this is to be the case, then a much more in depth study will need to be done and a year round fire protection system designed/developed. If you have any questions regarding this review or any other questions concerning the Grand Valley Fire Promotion District, I can bgached at 285-9119. David A.

Savage is applying to the Garfield County Commis- sioners for a subdivision exemption to allow subdivision of a 40 acre parcel on Holmes Mesa (7241 CR 301) to be split into two 17.7 acre parcels and a 4.5 acre parcel which will include the existing residence on the property. The two 17 acres parcels will eventually be sold as rural homesites. The smaller parcel will be retained for ranch employee and/or rental housing. The fire protection plan is as follows: 1. The parcels are located within the service boundaries of the Rifle Fire Protection District and fire suppression and emergency services are provided by the Rifle Fire Protection District; 2'. All parcels will have access driveways to the county road sy4tem capable of all weather use by district fire fighting and emergency vehicles and with adequate turnaround areas where needed; 3. The area has no municipal water mains or fire hydrants;. 4. During the irrigation season, ditches on or adjacent to the property will, at times, be able to provide fire flow volumes and there is a small pond located to the south of the property that may provide some water for fire flows as well. Cache Creek is the closest natural stream and is crossed by CR 301 about a mile north of the subject property, from which a tanker could be filled. 5. Vegetation in the area consists of sagebrush and irri- gated cropland/pasture. 6. The Exemption Plat will include a Plat Note requiring compliance with the Colorado State Forest Service Wildfire guidelines. Attached is a vicinity map. Garfield County Subdivision regulations require that the ap- plicant submit a letter from the appropriate fire district ap- proving the applicants' fire protection plan. Please sign and return the enclosed copy of this letter in- dicating your approval, or provide whatever response you normally submit in these matters. Please advise if you need additional information, or require and changes in the fire plan. Thank you for your assistance in this matter, please give me a call if you have any questions.
