Cedar Ridge Farm property. The application is not requesting a PUD filing as no variance from the "Garfield County zoning code is being proposed. The property is located in the Crystal Springs area along Route 103 as shown on the Vicinity Map on the following page. The property is zoned A/R/RD (Agricultural/Residential/Rural Density) with a 2 ac. minimum lot size. The subdivision is proposing 7 single-family lots ranging from 5 to 17 acres, and a 8th lot (46 ac.) containing the existing irrigated pasture land that will be retained by the owner. No homesite development is proposed for the pasture parcel. A lot summary is given below: Lot Summary Lot 1 Lot 2 Lot 3 Lot 4 Lot 5 Lot 6 Lot 7 Lot 8 5.7 ac. 5.5 ac. 5.0 ac. 6.5 ac. 7.3 ac. 9.0 ac. 17.0 ac. 46.0 ac. (Pasture, retained by owner) 102.0 ac. Vicinity Map Scale: 1"= 2000" 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Existing Conditions drawing on the following page illustrates the major physical features of the property. The dominate feature is the central irrigated pasture which is surrounded by sloping hillsides of unirrigated scrub oak and pinon pine. The property is divided by an existing dirt road leading to a neighboring house, and by a well -formed drainage channel which follows the road. Existing structures on the property include a small house and barn, and several corrals at the north end of the property. x101-4 carr mortem G,g6.J. Rllp&e- F ly goote, 10', 111,7e -rill 102- ac..

The design objective of the plan is primarily two -fold: 1. To create rural large lots with an equestrian orientation. 2. To preserve the large central irrigated pasture. As illustrated, the lots and homesites are located on the unirri- gated hillsides while the central pasture is preserved. Lots 1-6 range from 5-9 acres and are proposed for new homesites. Lot 7 is 17 acres and includes the existing house and barn. Lot 8 is 46 acres and includes the pasture area which will be retained by the owner and is not proposed for hornesite development. The technical aspects of the subdivision are addressed below. Water & Sewage Lots 1-6 are proposed to be serviced by individual wells and septic systems. Lot 7 containing the existing house and barn is already serviced by a well and septic system. i / ... ti 1 .------- ,q9 /1 1 1 —,, 1 i 1 1 .• \ 4) ! \ \ _ \ \ ( 6,) \ \ t, ,.c. \ \ 1 I \ \ i „, 0 \ \ \ ket 7 \ I \ \ \ I I \ I7.'o. r r. lr • • -1 1 • 1-cir Paeovre. 44..o Lot • 7 AU. t.Ot .5 j,171- 12 5,0 1-af• 4 &.

Based on a pre -application conference with Mr. Davis Farrar, he requested the applicant examine the feasibility of a central water system. The applicant has examined a central water system and feels it is unnecessary and too complex and expensive for the proposed large lot rural. subdivision. Engineering cost estimates have indicated a central water system and distribution piping could cost from $60,000 to $75,600. This cost does not include the additional cost to establish and administer to a legal entity responsible to operate the central system. The applicant feels this cost burden is unnecessary for rural large lots ranging from 5 to 17 ac. when proper well installations are allowed by and in compliance with zoning. In proposing individual wells for the large lots, three technical issues are specifically addressed: 1. Physical and legal water sypply 2. Fire protection 3. Potential well -septic contamination Physical and Legal Water Supply Attached in Appendix A and B are letters from Mr. Scott Fifer, hydrologist, Schmueser & Associates, Glenwood Springs, and Mr. Tam Scott, water rights attorney, Aspen, expressing their opinion about 5 the feasibility of attaining a suitable physical and legal water supply for the subdivision. Mr. Fifer, hydrologist, has examined the feasibility of a physical water supply based on an analysis of the geology of the area, a review of existing wells in the area, and a review of technical water resource reports applicable to the area. As indicated in his letter, Appendix A, it is Mr. Fifer's opinion that a suitable ground water supply is available to service the subdivision by individual wells. In fact, the existing well on the property located south of the barn has been test pumped for 24 hours with a substained yield of approximately 52 gpm. Mr. Scott, water rights attorney, has examined the feasibility of a legal water supply based on an analysis of water rights appurtenant to the property and existing augmented water rights available for purchase by the applicant. As indicated in his letter, Appendix B, it is Mr. Scott's opinion that a suitable legal water supply can be obtained for the subdivision. ‘,./1\ ah" r..._ t : r-- jk A.Vq; / b /e co r• v r ok,s e ? Un lass i4)' t �wne -t e f :? e�r�rQn+ cxva;0.lilC . 6 Fire Protection In compliance with the subdivision standards, each lot will be convenant to install at least a 1,000 gallon minimum capacity water cistern. County standards presently require a minimum capacity 500 gallon cistern: but the applicant will convenant greater than the adopted standard to a minimum 1,000 gallon cistern for increased safety. The applicant will also covenant fire access easements to each individual lot cistern. Therefore, the fire department is guaranteed access and use of all the cisterns in the subdivision. In total, this represents a 7,000 gallon water storage availability for fire protection. Well -Septic Contamination Well -septic contamination can be avoided by proper well and septic site location and design. Proper design involves locating the well uphill along the flow of ground water from the septic -leach field area, and maintaining at least the required minimum 100 ft. separa- tion between the well and septic area. This insures that the ground water flow being drawn by the well is always uphill and sufficiently separated from the septic area to eliminte direct contact and potential well contamination. The proposed lots are easily large enough for all wells to be located uphill and sufficiently separated from the septic -leach field areas to avoid potential contamination. 7 Sewage Attached in Appendix C is a letter from Mr. Rick Kinshella, engineer, Ponderosa Engineering, Inc., Glenwood Springs, expressing his opinion about the suitability of individual septic systems for the subdivision. Mr. Kinshella feels individual septic systems are possible based on his review of SCS soils information for the property, and a site inspection of the property. As stated in the letter, on-site testing will need to be completed prior to Preliminary Plat to determine the technical design requirements for the individual systems. Road \- The subdivision proposes to utilize the existing dirt road on the property. The existing road is in good shape and is basically level with no steep grades. The road will continue to be a private road with the maintainance and upkeep responsibility borne by the applicant. The applicant has the necessary easements to use the road as planned The applicant understands that it is the standard policy of the county to publicly dedicate roads, but in this case it seems inappropriate for the county to assume the maintenance and cost responsibility for a road that is essentially an extended driveway for a few homesites. 8 Fire Protection See water supply statement. Other Utilities The subdivision will be serviced by electric and telephone under the standard service agreements of the respective utility. Schools/Parks Dedication In compliance with Code, the applicant proposes to pay 5% of the full market value of the gross land area in the final plat at the time of final plat submission to meet the subdivision's public dedication requirement. Setbacks and Easements The subdivision shall comply with all setbacks and easements requirements of Code. Miscellaneous Sketch Plan Items A. Property Boundary Survey: See Appendix D. For application convenience, a xerox reduction of the property boundary survey is presented. The survey was done by Scarrow & Walker Inc. (KKBNA) in 1976 and the full size survey is available from Real Estate Affiliates. 9 B. Disclosure of Ownership. See Appendix E. The relevant excerpts of the title insurance policy for the property is enclosed. The full title insurance policy is available from Real Estate Affiliates. C. Property Mortgagees: See Appendix F. The only mortgagees of the property are Norman E. & Mary N. Sherwood who are beneficiaries of a deed of trust recorded in Book 487 at Page 853 of the Garfield County Records. The deed of trust held by the Sherwoods does not prohibit subdivision of the property and the Sherwoods will be notified of the subdivision prior to Preliminary Plat. D. Development Costs The applicant shall bear all development costs for the subdivsion. APPENDIX APPENDIX A November 11, 1981 Jim Curtis Real Estate Affiliates 300 E. Hyman Ave. Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Jim: sA SCHMUESER & ASSOCIATES 201 CENTENNIAL STREET SUITE 306 GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601 (303) 945-5468 Pursuant to your request, we have examined the availability of groundwater supplies near the proposed Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. The purpose of our investigation was to determine if a suitable physical water supply exists to support the development. Our investigation included an analysis of surounding geology, a review of existing wells in the vicinity including examination of test well pump data and well logs, and a review of numerous technical water resource reports appurtenant to the area. The proposed Cedar Ridge Farm subdivision is located on a basalt plateau between the Roaring Fork River and Cattle Creek, approximately 4 miles northeast of Carbondale, Colorado. The basalt cap typically exhibits fracturing and jointing which facilitates weathering, erosion and water percolation. This porus material readily transports water and is a significant local aquifer to numerous area residences. ,Recharge to the aquifer primarily results from infiltration of spring snow melt. Some recharge occurs from flood irrigation of nearby hay and pasture land. Underlying the basalt cap is the Maroon Formation, an interbedded layering of siltstones, claystones, conglomerate and limestone. This material is generally calcareous and relatively resistant to erosion. The formation has a low permeability and is not considered a good water bearing aquifer. An examination of data from seven wells in the near vicinity of Cedar Ridge Farm indicates a good dependable water supply is available. The wells average 190 feet total depth with a water depth of approximately 110 feet. Water yields averaged 20 gallons per minute (gpm). In addition, on April 23, 1981, a well was drilled in Lot 7 on the northern end of the proposed Cedar Ridge Farm Development. A review of the well log revealed it was drilled in the basalt bedrock for a total depth of 140 feet. The static water level was encountered at 86 feel. A 24 hour pump test of 20 to 48 Qom showed no appreciable drop in water level following the second hour of pumping. The water level dropped 3 feet initially but remained relatively constant for the duraLion of the test. The results of the pumping test and available data from nearby wells lead us to believe that there is ample underground water to support a development the size of Cedar Ridge Farm. Water could be supplied by a central water system utilizing the existing well or a series of seven smaller individual November 11, 1981 Jim Curtis Page Two wells. In either case, the relatively small withdrawals for this development will not cause a perceptible drop in the water table as a whole. There should be no material damage to existing wells in the vicinity. Sincerely, SCHMUESER & ASSOCIATES / J R. Scott Fifer Hydrologist RSF/ln APPENDIX B FITZHUGH SCOTT 111 ATTORNEY AT LAW 117 SOUTH SPRING STREET ASPEN, COLORADO 81611 TELEPHONE (303) 925.1216 November 19, 1981 Ms. Sandra Smith 3059 103 Road Carbondale, Colorado 81623 Re: Cedar Ridge Farm subdivision application (legal water supply) Dear Sandra: As requested, I have been consulting with Scott Fifer of Schmueser & Associates and Jim Curtis of .Real Estate Affiliates (Project Manager) with regards to your subdivision application in connection with Cedar Ridge Farm and the legal aspects of your water rights and the proposed water supply system for the project. Based on my review of your subdivision proposal and existing water rights and associated matters, I can state that you are in a good position to satisfy all of the requisite legal requirements for a water supply system that would be appropriate for the proposed project. Your existing rights consist of 7.5 shares of Park Ditch Company, which have a consumptive use value of approximately 69 acre feet per year, with which you have been irrigated approximately 46 acres of pasture land. The consumptive use of water attributable to your existing well and/or new well(s) would be approximately 1 acre foot during the irrigation season and one-half of an acre foot during the non -irrigation season. As stated in the application, there is in existence on your property a well which is capable of a sustained yield of 52 gpm, which well is covered by permit No. 107036. This original permit was for an exempt (15 gpm) type well. We have a pending application with the Water Court and Ms. Sandra Smith November 19, 1981 Page 2 the State Engineer's Office requesting approval for the expanded use of that well in accordance with its actual productive capabilities and relative to the additional beneficial uses, other than domestic. The productive capacity of this existing well is indicative of good potential for additional wells, should same prove to be desirable or necessary for the subdivision water supply. The water supply system for the subdivision would be either central (supplied by the above mentioned existing well) and/or consist of several new wells which would serve several lots each. The legal arrangement for augmenting the existing well and/or new well(s) would be by way of either (a) acquiring by purchase approximately one acre foot of Colorado Land Development Corporation augmentation water in order to augment the junior water wells during the irrigation season, coupled with approximately .5 acre feet of water from Ruedi via a long term renewable contract through the Basalt Water Conservancy District for winter- time augmentation purposes. In this last respect, I would note that some well augmentation plans have been approved prior to yours without reference to wintertime augmentation; therefore, this suggestion should not be viewed necessarily as a strict legal requirement but as my recommendation for an improved format of augmentation; or (b) by way of filing a separate augmentation plan whereby you would dry up about one-half an acre of irrigated land and forego the requisite amount of diversions at your Park Ditch take-out in order to balance the consumptive use of the wells during the irrigation season, when they would be out of priority part of the time. The wintertime aspects of this augmentation plan would be the same as above. I would point out that in Water Court action No. 79CW97 in connection with the application of the Carbondale Lane Development Corporation it was decreed that Park Ditch water was appropriate for domestic, augmentation, exchange and all other beneficial purposes and that the dry -up of land based on a formula of 1.5 acre feet consumptive use per acre was approved in connection with the summertime augmentation scheme further specified in that action. Also, there has been at least one other case wherein new water wells were Ms. Sandra Smith November 19, 1981 Page 3 the subject of an augmentation application in which CLDC augmentation water was approved without opposition as the _ummertime augmentation water to support the junior wells, when they would otherwise be diverting out of priority and subject to a Cattle Creek call. Therefore, based upon all of the above considerations, it is my opinion that the sources of supply of water appurtenant to your property are physically and legally adequate to support the proposed Cedar Ridge Farm sub- division project. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these observations. Yours v ruly, •c Fit hugh Scott III FS/jeo cc: Jim Curtis Scott Fifer APPENDIX C PONDEROSA ENGINEERING, INC.

It is my professional opinion that it will be possible to con- struct on-site systems on each lot; however, steep slopes, very rocky terrain, soils with rapid permeability or soils with slow permeability appear to exist in various locations throughout the proposed development. These conditions could make the construction of conventional septic tank-leachfield systems difficult and could in some case require the installation of engineered systems. I would recommend that prior to preparation of the Preliminary Plat submittal to Garfield County a profile hole be dug in several locations and percolation tests be performed to determine exactly what conditions exist on the site and what measures will be necessary to provide systems which will comply with the Gar- field County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations.

I would like to offer the following recommen- dations to you regarding Fire and Emergency Medical Services. First of all I would recommend that two 4,000 gallon water cisterns be installed for "Fire Dept. Use Only." With the portable water supply capabilities of the Carbondale Fire Dept., I feel that these two cisterns will be an adequate water wupply. The exact speci- fications as far as connections, exact locations, etc. are available to the developer from my office. In the interest of long range planning, I would recommend that, in the future, all developers in the Missouri Heights portion of Garfield County be required, by your office, to make certain concessions and contributions to the Carbondale & Rural Fire Pro- tection District. The principle item being a $ .500.00 per lot contribution to a Building & Equipment Fund to be administered by the Fire Protection District. This fund would be used to construct two strategically located fire stations on Missiouri Heights. This fund would also be used to purchase two new pieces of fire apparatus to be housed in these stations. This plan would insure that the Emergency Services needed to serve Missiouri Heights in the years ahead would grow proportionatly with development. This plan would also generate the necessary funds needed by the Fire Protection District to carry out it's responsibilties of Ambulance Service and Fire Protection for the rapidly developing Missiouri Heights area. It should be noted that part of the proposed Cedar Ridge Farm is not currently within the boundries of the Fire Protection District. The procedure for annexation to the District is the burden of the developer and should be handled between the legal councils of both Cedar Ridge Farm and the Carbondale Fire District. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 963-2491. Sincerly, Ron Leach, Carbondale Fire Chief 11 GARFIELD COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO 81601 2014 BLAKE AVENUE December 28, 1981 Jim Curtis Real Estate Affiliates 300 East Hyman Avenue Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Mr. Curtis: PHONE 945-8212 I am writing regarding your sketch plan for Cedar Ridge Subdivision.
