Brown Attorney at Law 1120 Grand Avenue Glenwood Springs, CO. 81601 RE: The Gilbert Exemption Dear Mr. Brown: Building & Planning Department 4 The City of Rifle responded to the Gilbert Exemption request in a fashion that came as quite a shock to the Planning Department. In his letter Selby Myers, City Manager of Rifle stated that city water was not obtainable outside the city and that City of Rifle was not in receipt of a Petition of Annexation for the Gilbert property. In a letter from your office, dated October 30, 2000, you stated that you intended to file for annexation and would be sending me a copy of this as soon as practical. To date I have not received a copy of this Annexation application. With the Exemption application, for a water source, it was stated that domestic water is expected to be received from the City of Rifle, should that be unavailable the applicants would apply for a multi -family well permit. At this time, there is no water to source for the proposed lot. It is critical that there be a source of water "proved up" for the Board of County Commissioners to approve this application. Therefore, the Planning Department recommends removal of this application from the scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting on 1/15/2001. Cordially, GARFIELD _ OUNTY PL NING DEPARTMENT Gre I tier, + PIanner Attachments 109 8th Street, Suite 303 945-8212/285-7972 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 The exemption is being requested to offer for sale a 4.84 acre parcel adjacent to Highway 13, Rifle, Colorado. This land is not being used by the Gilbert family and the family would like to offer this parcel for sale. Concurrent with this filing, an application for annexation is being filed with the City of Rifle. Domestic water is expected to be received from the City of Rifle, pending the annexation application. If the annexation application is withdrawn or denied, an application for a multi family well permit, supported by a plan for adjudication of the existing well will be filed. Sewage disposal is expected to be received from the City of Rifle, pending the annexation application. If the annexation application is withdrawn or denied, an approved septic system will be required.

In reviewing the application by Jim and Jackie Gilbert, it was mentioned that they intended to obtain water from the City of Rifle. I am unaware of any arrangement that the Gilberts currently have with the City. In order to obtain water, it is customary that a landowner must first apply for annexation and agree to abide by the development procedures of the City. To this date, the Gilberts have not done so. The City has no other comments. Sincerely,, (L; Selby Mer, City Manama Cc: Mayor and Council, City of Rifle Rifle Planning and Development Department
