It is the Districts understanding that your proposal is to take one parcel of approximately 40 acres and create three parcels, one of approximately 30.28 acres, one of approximately 4.599 acres and one pf approximately 5.538 acres_ The .District further understands that the proposed uses of the parcels will be residential. The property is within the boundaries of the Rifle Fire Protection District and fire and emergency medical services are provided to the area by the District. The District approves of the exemption but would make the following recommendations: l . Posting of address: addresses are to be posted where the driveway intersects the County Road. If a shared driveway arrangement is used, the address for each home should be posted to clearly identify each address. Letters are to be a minimum of 4 inches in height, %2 inch in width and contrast with background colors. 2. Access roadways: driveways should be constructed to accommodate the weights and turning radius of emergency apparatus in adverse weather conditions. 3. Defensible space: combustible materials should be thinned from around structures so as to provide a defensible space in theevent of a wild land fire_ 4, It should be noted that water supply in the area is limited and fire flow capabilities would likely not be available to extinguish a fully involved structure fire. The proposal does however meet the District's minimum requirements of having an approved water supply within two miles. Thank you for your cooperation and feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance. Mike Morgan District Chief Telephone (970) 625-1243 • Fax (970) 625-2963 1850 Railroad Avenue • P.O.
