JULY 19 75
A manthly report was given by Building Inspector W.C. Milner. There were 21 building permits issued, but
the valuation is about $800,000 behind last year at this time. Senate Bill 222, setting requirements on new
houses and buildings to conserve energy, was discussed. Mr. Milner stated that this would make the front
end costs for the average person prohibitive. "It would kill the industry." It was tabled until the next
meeting, at which time Mr. Milner would have more information.
A Conditional Use Permit has been applied for by Louisiana Land and Exploration Co. on BLM land for test
core drilling. Approval was given by the Commissioners.
Mr. Milner requested permission to pursue violations on SB -35. There are many who are selling parcels but
do not apply for exemptions. These can be checked through the Assessor's office and the abstract office.
Chairman Hill stated that everyone should be treated alike - if we do this "we should start at the beginning
and get them all". Mr. Milner to check with the County Attorney and report back.
Mr. Schmueser reported on Planning. Base maps of Carbondale and Silt were given to the Commissioners. Maps
of Rifle are completed. New Castle is pretty well up to date. Glenwood Springs is doing their own. Grand
Valley is being worked on. These are beginning on the Comprehensive Plan so that roads can tie into the tow
A report was given on the meeting in Denver with oil industry relative to the TAP program. Industry still
wants to pick the projects to be funded. More meetings are planned. Survey form for the Mobile Home Park
Inventory was submitted.
Lamont Kinkade, Sanitarian, gave his monthly report. A proposed Environmental Protection Resolution was
given to Commissioners for review. Mr. Kinkade is to check with Mr. Hartert. Pictures of dumping at Cardif
bridge'on the Werking property were shown. Mr. Kinkade is trying to get voluntary cooperation from Mr.
Werking. If not, Mr. Kinkade will request a resolution to designate this a public nuisance.
Orlene Mitchell and Johanna Terry gave their quarterly report. Mrs. Mitchell plans to retire Sept. 1 and
indicated only one person, Mary Anderson Burdick, was interested in the position. Mrs. Terry reported on
the measles outbreak in Carbondale. The doctors are referring more patients to them. She felt more infor-
mation should be given the public about the County Nurse because of the many programs in effect that could
overlap County Nurse duties. She requested permission to approach RE -1 school district about supplying
health records and vision machine. RE -2 District does supply both.
Pete Mattivi moved that the Chairman be given authority to sign an agreement with the State of Colorado on
the Department of Health program. Seconded by Flaven Cerise, motion carried.
Pete Mattivi moved that the minutes of June 30th meeting be approved. Seconded by Flaven Cerise. Motion
carried.
�ete Mattivi moved that the minutes of June 23rd meeting be approved. Seconded by Flaven Cerise. Motion
carried.
The public hearing on a PUD application for zone change for Colorado Mountain College was held. Don Hix
represented the college. Plans call for 1700 students with one-third housed on site. Mr. Schmueser and
Mr. Witkowski presented the information. There are no physical problems. The design fits the intent of
the Master Plan. Sewage is sufficient through 1990. Mr. Witkowski had received no objections from adjacent
land owners. Mr. Schmueser stated that they had reviewed the application and it does comply. Mr. Hartert
stated that it was consistent with the General Plan and that there is a demonstrated need. All procedural
requirements have been met. Mr. Witkowski stated that student parking may require a variance, but it pre-
sents no problem. Planning Commission recommended approval at their meeting of May 12th. George Dapples
and H.O. Tucker, adjacent landowners, raised the question of water supply and how the use by the college
would affect their wells. After much discussion, Chairman Hill instructed the College and the adjacent
landowners to get together. The Commissioners have until August 21 to make a decision. Motion by Pete
Mattivi to adjourn the public hearing for purposes of taking further testimony and evidence on the CMC PUD
application until 1:30 on July 28, 1975. Seconded by Flaven Cerise. Motion carrried.
Larry Schmueser requested the Commissioners set a public hearing on the Battlement Mesa PUD application.
The hearing was set for 1:30 on August 12, 1975.
Mr. Schmueser reported on the Transportation study. Proposals have been solicited and have been received.
Each consultant will make a proposal to the committee.
John and Neil Van Gaalen reported on the TV. Problems were discussed. All TV originates through the Look-
out Mountain translators. It would cost approximately $800 to bring them back into compliance. But it woul
still be a poor system. They suggested two new translators, solid state, costing approximately $1500 each.
Chairman Hill stated that the County should do whatever it takes to make the TV legal and what it is suppose
to do. Everything at Grand Valley, Rifle, New Castle and Carbondale is new. Lookout Mountain has all old
equipment. With solid state translators, there is a savings on tubes and antennas. Mr. Cerise stated that
we should not put $800 into junk but buy something new. Mr. Hartert stated that we have to go ahead as we
are in default now with Roaring Fork TV Association. We must get back on frequency. Mr. Van Gaalen sug-
gested the possibility of getting a better signal and he is checking it out. They are also getting a fre-
quency measuring device to keep on frequency. Mr. Hartert reminded them that formal applications must be
sent, but thought Mr. Solomon could expedite them. Pete Mattivi moved that we are in accord with them to
continue their testing and if it proves this is the best way to go, authorize them to install two new trans-
lators when the permits have been issued. Seconded by Mr. Cerise. Motion carried.
Neil Mincer appeared requesting space to house the new Glenwood ambulance. He was advised to check with the
Sheriff to see if it can be parked under the overhang which could possibly be closed in.
Esther Piper reported on a visit to the South Canyon landfill site and asked about a gate where the posts
are already set. They have been tried before and it never keeps anyone out.
Bob Richardson presented a request for vacation of easement on property owned by a joint venture represented
by Duane Van Why. Road ROW should have been vacated when I-70 replaced old U.S. G. Mr. Hartert stated it
would be subject to easement for existing utilities. Pete Mattivi moved adoption of a resolution to vacate
the Road ROW as requested. Seconded by Flaven Cerise. Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 4 pm.

Proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners, Garfield County, Colo., SEPTEMBER
Monday, September 22, 1975
19 75
The regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held September 22, 1975, there being present
Mr. Hill, Mr. Mattivi, Mr. Cerise, Gerald Hartert, and Esther Piper.
Mr. Mattivi moved approval of the minutes of the meeting of September 15. Seconded by Mr. Cerise. Motion
carried.
Alan Koester, Frank Starbuck, Paul Pitman and Bill Wright appeared before the Board with a report on the
Soil Conservation Districts. Carl Bernklau was not able to attend, but reported through Commissioner Hill
that they have no problems and would go along with whatever the rest agreed to. They reported that the
money from last year was spent for a secretary who worked with all districts. Soils maps of the County are
being done with the Bookcliff District maps being completed now. The DeBeque Plateau area will be done
next year. These maps are available to the County, both to Planning and to the Assessor. They suggest a
half-day training session with the Assessor's office personnel in use of the maps. They have also assisted
in drainage at the airport and on the park at the fairgrounds. Mr. Hill requested they submit a budget in
writing. Pitkin and Garfield Counties will each be asked for $2000.
The public hearing on the PUD application for Colorado Mountain College continued from July 28th was re-
covened. Don Hix from CMC, reported that they had two meetings with the adjacent property owners who had
complained. Mr. Tucker had withdrawn his objections, but Mr. Dapples still objected to the PUD based on
the loss of water on his property. Mrs. Piper read the minutes of the prior hearings. It is the position
of CMC that the four ajudicated wells have sufficient water for CMC at maximum projections. He presented
a letter from Eldorado Engineering stating this. Mr. Hartert explained that the only decision on water is
if CMC has legal ownership of adequate water and has a plan to deliver it. Mr. Witkowski stated that the
water rights are sufficient, and that there have been no further contact with his office by the persons
objecting. Dr. Gann stated that the reason CMC had agreed to the delay was as a courtesy to Mr. Dapples
and that Mr. Dapples had set the date of September 22. Mr. Dapples was not present so the hearing was re-
cessed until 4:30 to give Mr. Dapples a chance to appear.
Steve Schmitz interviewed the Commissioners for a survey for SCORP (State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation
Plan). The Commissioners felt there were sufficient hiking and cross-country skiing trails, but a lack of
bicycle paths, swimming pools, picnic areas, campgrounds, tennis courts, golf courses, trap and skeet areas
skiing areas for families, ice skating outdoor areas and more rest areas on the Interstate. They felt that
there should be special areas for motorcycles, snowmobiles and jeeps and they should not be allowed to roam
on all the high country roads. There is also a lack of sufficient boating areas and sledding areas. A
letter stating that Garfield County had a $475 grant for recreation materials was read by Mrs. Piper. Thes
funds were provided by the South Ute Community Action Programs. The matter was referred to the Recreation
Committee for action, and action must be taken by September 30, 1975.
A discussion was held on fire, theft and vandalism insurance. Mr. Mattivi felt that "we are duty bound to
give the people all the protection we can". Mr. Mattivi moved that the fire, theft and vandalism insurance
be reinstated on all equipment over $10,000 in value, with a $1000 deductible. Seconded by Mr. Cerise.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Piper reported that Ned Vare had indicated an interest in being the alternate on the Planning Commis-
sion to replace Carl Bernklau. Other names submitted have been Arnold Mackley and Felix Sefcovic. Mr.
Mackley was recommended by Mr. Bernklau as his replacement. Mr. Vare was the only person answering the ad
placed in the Rifle Telegram. Mr. Cerise moved that Arnold Mackley be appointed as the alternate on the
Planning Commission to replace Carl Bernklau. Seconded by Mr. Mattivi. Motion carried unanimously.
The nurse's leave policy was discussed. It will be discussed with them when they give their quarterly
report on October 6.
Winifred Mallett again requested something be done about the noise which is a health hazard in the Assessor
office due to the machine in the vault. Accoustical tile should be installed.
Mr. Mattivi moved adoption of the following resolution granting an abatement of $32.91 in taxes on James
W. and Cecelia M. Heiney. Seconded by Mr. Cerise. Motion carried unanimously.

Proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners, Garfield County, Colo.,
SEPTEMBER 19 75
Kenneth Elliot and Bud Milner presented a request for a Special Use Permit to place a double -wide trailer
on property in Sutank. Mr. Milner stated that they had complied with all of the regulations. There was
an objection from Ernest Gianetti, but it does fit into the existing conditions of the neighborhood. Mr.
Cerise stated that the new double -wide would look better than the old house that was torn down. Mr. Cerise
moved approval of the Special Use Permit for Kenneth D. Elliot. Seconded by Mr. Mattivi. Motion carried.
A request for a SB -35 exemption from Kenneth Elliot was referred to the Planning Department.
Attorney J.E. DeVilbiss presented an application for a liquor license for Los Desparados, a restaurant, for
Wesley A. Burke and James E. Griffin. The location has been licensed before under other ownership. This
will be a full service restaurant. Two-thirds of the remodeling has been done. Plans need to be inspected

Mr. Jerry Story, ROW agent, and John E. O'Fallon, Manager of Land Use Planning and Acquisition for Colorado
Ute Electric Association, reported on their request for utility corridor for a new 230kV transmission line.
They supply electricity to 13 companies (co-ops). The line will be built for 345 kV specificaitons but used
only at this time for 230kV. There will be approximately 18 miles in Garfield County, tying into the sub-
station 2-1/2 miles east of Rifle. A different type of structure will be used which should be more environ-
mentally pleasing. The corridor generally follows the existing corridor. They requested concurrance with
the corridor selected. Mr. Mattivi asked if the other counties had given concurrance. Mr. O'Fallon stated
that Moffat County had, but Rio Blanco County still needed to give permission. Mr. Hill informed them that
"if you play ball with us, we will play ball with you. We have to use some common sense as we need food,
fibre, water and power". Mr. Witkowski stated that the Planning Commission reviewed the request on Sep-
tember 8th and recommended approval. It was asked what protective stipulations were offered to private
landowners. Mr. O'Fallon stated the same as given to the Federal lands. Mr. Hartert asked what conditions
other counties had placed on approval. None except on the flight pattern for the Hayden airport have been
made. Mr. O'Fallon stated that Colorado -Ute will not interfere with any use of the Garfield County aiport.
Mr. Mattivi moved approval of the requested utility corridor for Colorado -Ute Electric Association with the
condition that deeded landowners be granted the same protective stipulations when applicable that are re-
quired by Federal permits. Seconded by Mr. Cerise. Motion carried unanimously.
Nick Sanborn presented a proposal from J.D. Adams Co. to supply material to build a two-lane, 24 -foot width,
H-20 state highway standards structure to replace the Catherine Bridge. If 100 -foot beams are used, an
immediate order would be necessary to get them before the next time they will be rolled by the factory,
which is in February. He had checked with the railroad and arrangement have been made that the railroad
could deliver them to the site. With his proposal, the County would build the footers and head vaults and
do a soils test. With regular decking the cost willbe approximately $66,000. With the decking similar
to that at the 23rd Street Bridge in Glenwood, it would be an additional $30,000. This is for material.
Labor would be by the County. The County would have to handle the unloading. Mr. Mattivi asked if all the
footings would be concrete. The answer is yes, because of the irrigation ditch. Mr. Hill asked if they
could make a package bid and Mr. Sanborn responded "yes". The necessary concrete was estimated to cost
about $10,000 - $15,000. Mr. Mattivi stated we have to have a design for the bridge so we can ask for bids
for material and bids for labor if the county does not do the labor. Mr. Sanborn stated that they would do
a design to meet standards if they got the order for the material, but could not do a design otherwise,
without a charge. He also stated that the cost would be approximately the same with either 100 -foot beams
or with center pilings and 50 -foot beams. The cost of $66,000 included freight and guardrails. Mr. Hill
asked Mr. Terry if he could unload the material and build the bridge. Mr. Terry said yes, if the cement is
in before it freezes. Mr. Mattivi again stated we must have a design so we can ask for bids. All agreed
it would probably be best to drive pilings and use 50 -foot stringers. Mr. Hill asked Mr. Sanborn to get
information and let them know where a bridge close is that they have put in, so they could see it. Mr.
Sanborn is to get more information.
Mr. Cerise moved that the application for a PUD for CMC be approved. Seconded by Mr. Mattivi. Motion
carried unanimously.
Meeting recessed until Tuesday at 1:30.
Meeting reconvened on Tuesday, September 23, 1975, at 1:30, there being present Mr. Hill, Mattivi, Cerise,
and Mrs. Piper.
Mr. Sanborn gave additional information relative to the Catherine Bridge. It was agreed that the first
step is to remove the old bridge. Mrs. Piper to get bids for sale and removal of the old bridge.
Meeting adjourned.
