'REET ADDRESS: 7241 CR 301, Rifle, CO 81650
Enclosed a copy of the 1998 Tax Notice, parcel no. 2405-053-
00-004, Sch. No. 270292 which includes the subject property.
Apparently the Garfield County Tax Assessor combined several
separate parcels into a consolidated notice at some time in the
past, even though the several included propertieshave separate
chains of title and were separate properties as of 1/1/73. The
attached excerpt from Assessor map 2405 shows the subject and
separate parcels included in this consolidated notice.
Therefore this application qualifies for exemption from the
Subdivision Regulations of Garfield County.
J. A Three Hundred Dollar ($300.00) fee must be submitted

INFORMATIONAL NOTES
This is to advise that COMMONWEALTH TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY makes
available to its prospective insured owners, in conjunction with their
COMMONWEALTH TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY policy covering a single family
residence, including a condominium or townhouse unit, protection
against mechanics' liens. This protection is not automatic nor given
in all cases, but is subject to the Company's underwriting
requirements, and does not cover those liens which arise out of work
contracted for or entered into at the request of the insured owner.
These underwriting requirements include, but may not be limited to,
the following:
1. Receipt by the Company of agreement(s) indemnifying it
for any loss resulting from its granting of lien
protection, executed by the seller, contractor or others
who might have incurred debts which could result in
mechanics' liens;
2. Information concerning the solvency and whereabouts of
the parties set forth in Item No. 1, possibly including
financial statements;
3. Evidence of payment of any bills which might have been
incurred for work done on the property, depending upon
the length of time elapsed since the last work was
completed and what remains to be done;
4. In the event of extensive recent constructions, whether
on all the improvements located upon the property or not,
additional items required may include: (a) the Company's
review of the owner's and/or builder's history relative
to construction projects previously completed or
presently under construction; (b) review of the
construction loan agreement if applicable; (c) review of
any performance or materialman's bonds concerning this
construction, if applicable; (d) payment of the
appropriate charge for mechanics' lien protection during
construction, if applicable.
This is also to advise that, pursuant to Regulation of the Colorado
Insurance Commissioner, every title entity shall be responsible for
all matters which appear of record prior to the time of recording, and
subsequent to the effective date of the commitment, whenever the title
entity conducts the closing and is responsible for recording or
filing of legal documents resulting from the transaction which was
closed. This does not include those matters created, suffered,
assumed or agreed to by the insured. The prospective insured is
advised to inquire of the closing entity as to whether it is an office
of COMMONWEALTH TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY or is an independent agent
which will be the responsible entity relative to the closing only.

tation is about 20 inches, and average annual tempera-
ture is about 40 degrees F.
This map unit covers about 16 percent of the survey
area, or approximately 100,000 acres. The unit is about
30 percent Parachute soils, 30 percent Rhone soils, 20
percent Irigul soils, 15 percent Northwater soils, and 5
percent soils of minor extent.
Parachute soils are on ridges and mountainsides. They
are moderately deep and well drained. The surface layer
is loam, and the subsoil is loam that grades to extremely
channery loam. Bedrock is sandstone.
Rhone soils are on mountainsides. They are deep and
well drained. The surface layer is loam in the upper part
and sandy clay loam in the lower part. The substratum is
very channery sandy clay loam.
Irigul soils are on crests and sides of ridges. They are
shallow and well drained. The surface layer is channery
loam, and the substratum is extremely channery sandy
clay loam. Bedrock is sandstone.
This unit is used entirely for grazing and wildlife habi-
tat. It is poorly suited to other uses. It is grazed mainly
from early summer to early fall. This unit is well suited to
wildlife habitat. Deer, elk, mountain lion, grouse, rabbits,
and squirrels are common.

area below the Roan Plateau from the escarpment
edges down to the toe slope. Average annual precipita-
tion is about 14 inches, and average annual temperature
is about 46 degrees F.
This map unit covers about 5 percent of the survey
area, or approximately 30,000 acres. This unit is about
45 percent Rock outcrop, 40 percent Torriorthents, and
15 percent soils of minor extent.
Rock outcrop is on the nearly vertical cliffs from the
rim of the Roan Plateau to the talus slopes below. It
consists of exposures of shale of the Green River For-
mation. This shale is locally known as "oil shale."
Torriorthents are on the colluvial slopes below the
Rock outcrop. They are moderately deep and shallow
and are well drained. They are clayey to loamy and
contain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones.
This unit is used primarily for grazing and wildlife habi-
tat, mainly on the toe slopes where browse plants and
some grasses grow. The deer and elk feed at the lower
elevations in winter. Sage grouse, mountain lion, rabbits,
and coyotes also find habitat on this unit. There has
been limited mining of "oil shale" from the Rock outcrop.
Commercial development is extremely limited.

These soils are deep and well drained.
This unit is used for irrigated crops, grazing, and wild-
life habitat. Most of the irrigated crops are on the Heldt
soils. The major crops are alfalfa, small grains, and irri-
gated pasture. The suitability of the Arvada soils for
irrigated crops is poor because of the strongly saline -
alkali condition and slow permeability. The suitability of
Torrifluvents for irrigation and most other uses is poor
because of flooding and a high water table. This unit has
poor suitability for community development because of
flooding, high shrink -swell potential, and salinity and
alkalinity. It has fair suitability for upland wildlife habitat.
Torrifluvents have fair suitability for wetland wildlife habi-
tat.

66—Torriorthents-Camborthids-Rock outcrop com-
plex, steep. This broadly defined unit consists of ex-
posed sandstone and shale bedrock, loose stones, and
soils that are shallow to deep over sandstone and shale
bedrock and stony basaltic alluvium. This complex
occurs throughout the survey area. The soils and out-
crops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges
from 15 to 70 percent.
Torriorthents make up about 45 percent of the com-
plex, Camborthids make up 20 percent, and Rock out-
crop makes up 15 percent. The Torriorthents are on
foothills and mountainsides below Rock outcrop. The
moderately steep Camborthids are on lower toe slopes
and concave open areas on foothills and mountainsides.
Torriorthents are shallow to moderately deep. They
are generally clayey to loamy and contain variable
amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is
normally covered with stones weathered from the higher -
lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colorado River, basaltic
stones and cobbles are on the surface.
Camborthids are shallow to deep. They are generally
clayey to loamy and have slightly more clay in the sub-
soil than in the surface layer. The surface layer is light
colored. The profile is normally free of stones, but scat-
tered basalt stones, cobbles, and sandstone fragments
are on the surface.
The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone
and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal-
tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out-
crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the
survey area.
Included in mapping are small, isolated areas of Ilde-
fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Begay, Heldt, and Dollard soils.
These intermittent areas make up 10 to 20 percent of
this map unit.
This complex is used for grazing, wildlife habitat, and
recreation.
The stones on the surface and the steep slopes make
this complex unsuitable for crops. Some areas can be
reseeded to pasture by broadcast seeding. Other plant-
ing methods are made difficult by the stones and slopes.
The native vegetation includes wheatgrasses, blue -
grasses, Indian ricegrass, needlegrasses, bitterbrush,
mountainmahogany, sagebrush, and an overstory of
pinyon and juniper.
The value of grazing is fair. The vegetation should be
managed to maintain wood production and limited graz-
ing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves
grazing and provides firewood and posts. Steep slopes,
moderate to severe erosion hazard, and slow regrowth
of trees affect harvesting and management.
Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for
deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and
cover on this complex.
Building is limited by steep slopes and stoniness.
These limitations can be overcome by appropriate
design and construction.
This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat-
ed.

plex, and Rock outcrop makes up 25 percent. The Tor-
riorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below the
Rock outcrop.
Torriorthents are generally clayey to loamy and con-
tain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones.
The surface is normally covered with stones weathered
from the higher -lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colora-
do River, stones and cobbles of basalt are on the sur-
face.

and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal-
tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out-
crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the
survey area.
Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Ilde-
fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Gaynor, Tridell, and Nihill soils.
These intermittent areas make up 10 to 15 percent of
this map unit.
This complex is used for limited grazing, wildlife habi-
tat, and recreation.
Because of the stones on the surface, the Rock out-
crop, and the steep slope, this complex is unsuited to
crops.
The native vegetation includes wheatgrass, bluegrass,
Indian ricegrass, needlegrass, bitterbrush, sagebrush,
mountainmahogany and an overstory of pinyon and juni-
per.
The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood
production and limited grazing. Selectively thinning the
pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides fire-
wood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe ero-
sion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting
and management.

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 closcenunicipal water main or fire hydrant 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.

Grand Valley Fire Protection District, I can bye x ached at 285-9119.

Dear Sirs:
Joan L. 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 system capable of all weather use by district fire fighting
and emergency vehicles and with adequate turnaround areas where
needed;
Fr
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.
r"
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.
