t. During the visit, we drove to your existing building using aur Egan 8505 &nm oirr Station 5. which
is located just to the south of your property. The engine was able to adequately access :tee existing
builder tial tiro existing driveway and was able to adequately tarn around.
2, We also drove a pardon of the existing driveway at 7330 Corry Road 100 btlanging to Dan and
Ann Hagan. The driveway would become part gibe access for the proposed new Lot 1. We wine
able to adequately negotiate the existing grade smd turtle, acrd Were able to gain aixess to the proirn
where the new driveway would oaatirsre on to Let I.
L We looked at the rte of the existing 2,000 gallon water storage mak which is based m t1si: went side
of the house on Lot 3. I would r Onlifl sld installing a dry hydrant in the tank with a 6 -inch trials
national standard thread MST) along with a mini:man 1-1/2 inch vent pipe. The taoli is tapable of
provii watts 5or both of the existing hadisrg,
2. It is ray understandinig that another 1,700 gallon mater iatric is proposed for Lot 1. Again, a-knroll dry
hydrant sholdd be installed and the tank provide with adequate venting.
DeTi
I. The defensible specie around the existing buildings is 8,esterelly adequate. 1 would tccomrnend that
some additioaai fuel modification be completed at the souilmnst carter of the existing let 3 house
and in the southwest quer of the Lot 2 house. Weeds and gnisscd should he cut short ar mid the

Re: Pioneer Point Subdivision — SPPA 7391
Dear Mr. Hartmann_
Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the preliminary plan documents
for the Pioneer Point Subdivision project located at 7378 Garfield County Road 100,
Carbondale, Colorado 81623. CPW stair has visited the site and have the following
comments with respect to wildlife,
The vegetation on the site is comprised primarily of pinon-juniper woodland and
sagebrush plant species. Various grasses and mountain shrubs associated with these plant
communities are also present. This habitat type will sustain numerous wildlife species
including mule deer, elk, wild tnikey, coyote, red fox, bobcat, Abert's squirrel, black
bear, mountain lion, and numerous small mammals. Raptors, such as red-tailed hawks,
American kestrels and golden eagles, may utilize the pinon-juniper habitat for hunting.
Other songbirds may also be found in the area but no known threatened or endangered
species or state recognized Species of concern arc uui0ntly known to be nesting in the
area.
The proposed project encompasses 6 — 7 total acres which includes three proposed
2+ acre brume site parcels. The project lists the existing mad onto the property as the
continued access point. CPW supports the use of existing roads and recommends
maiming motorized access as much as possible, especially during winter months
when deer and elk will be using the area as winter range. The proposed 2+ acre lots arc
specialty better for wildlife than smaller lots however, additional btuldings and increased
disnubance from an additional home will still impact wildlife use of the property and
surn„mdi areas.
The proposed project is located in documented elk winter range, elk winter concentration
area and severe elk winter range. .CPW designates elk winter range as areas where
90 percent of the individuals are located during the winter (five of ten years). Winter
concentration areas are areas within a species' winter range where individual densities
are at least 200 percent greater than surrounding winter range. Severe winter range is
where 90 percent of the individuals are located when annual snow pack is at its maximum
andfor temperatures arc at a minimum in the two worst winters out of ten. CPW takes

interest in the proposed project because winter range, winter concentration areas and
seven winter range are critical areas of habitat for a species, These areas provide needed
forage, cover from predators and retreat Emu stressors during the period of the year
when the animals arc most vulnerable. Recent visits to the site have shown elk to be
actively aging the property and surrounding properties as both winter range and winter
concentration area. Elk sign in the area is significant with heavy browsing of the shrubs
and scat abundant. Few habitats in the area meet the suitable requirements for elk
winter range, winter concentration areas and severe winter range. In recent years CPW
has observed the Toss of such habitats in the Missouri Heights and Spring Valley areas
through development.
Impacts to wildlife will occur in two ways. Direct loss of habitat will occur through
removal or manipulation of vegetation used as forage, shelter or cover from predators.
Wildlife will not be able to adapt to areas of direct habitat loss. Indirect habitat loss will
be suffered through the effects of increased human related activity and the construction of
movement barriers such as fences or walls. Wildlife may demonstrate limited resilience
or adaptation to the impacts of habitat loss however reduction in native vegetation and
introduced human activity will result in stressors that will negaitively wildlife. The
proposed development will result in increased vehicle traffic, noise pollution, overall
lntman presence and other related stressors throughout the area and will likely affect
the surrounding areas of critical habitat not explicitly encompassed within the project
boundaries,
The following is a list of general recommendations that CPW would like to be taken inm
consideration with this proposed development to avoid conflicts with wildlife.
Pets:
Pets should not be allowed to roam free, especially dogs. CPW recommends that dogs be
leashed or kenneled at all times to prevent the illegal chasing and harassment of wildlife.
lo areas such as this where mountain lions are a concern, the kennel should include a top
pastel to prevent access to the kennel by the lion Dogs and cats chase or prey on various
wildlife species. One benefit to keeping animals under control is that they are lass likely
to become prey for mountain lions, coyotes, bobcats, foxes or raptors. Pets should not be
fed outside and pet food should be stored in an enclosed area. CPW recognizes that in
the proposed Pioneer Point covenants dogs are limited to two per household.
Trash:
Trash should be kept inside a secure enclosure until the Horning of trash pickup. Bears,
skunks and raccoons are attracted to garbage and do become habituated. Individual bear -
proof trash receptacles can be used by homeowner's to assist in mitigating these conflicts.

Feeding Wildlife:
Feeding of all wildlife should be prohibited, with the exception of songbirds. Suet and
hummingbird feeders are particularly attractive to skunks, raccoons and hears and their
use should be discouraged or, if used, should be brought inside each night. It is illegal to
feed big game animals including deer, elk, bear and lions as well as foxes and coyotes.
Fencing:
Woven wire or chain-link fences should only be used in areas where total wildlife
exclusion is desired (i.e. around the immediate domicile or to protect trees and shrubs).
Other ptrnneter and lot fencing should be prohibited where possible. Should perimeter
fencing be required, recommended fencing should be no higher than 42 inches in height
to allow adult animals to jump the fences without becoming entangled in the top wire.
A 16 inch gap should exist between the bottom wire and the ground to allow _juvenile
animals to pass under the fence. The nue of ornamental fencing with sharp vertical points
or projections extending beyond the top rail should be strongly discouraged. CPW notes
that fencing specifications are denoted in the proposed Pioneer Point covenants and
supports the prohibition of new barbed wire fencing.

4. Colorado is a "RIGHT -TO -FARM" state pursuant to C.R.S. 35-3-1 1, Et. Seq.
Landowners, residents and visitors must be prepared to accept the activities, sights, sounds and
smells of Garfield County's agricultural operations as a normal and necessary aspect of living in
a county with a strong rural character and a healthy ranching sector. Those with an urban
sensitivity may perceive such activities, sights, sound, and smells only as inconvenience,
eyesore, noise and odor. However, state law and county policy provide that ranching, farming
and other agricultural activities and operations within Garfield County shall not be considered to
be nuisances so long as operated in conformance with the law and in a non -negligent manner.
Therefore, all must be prepared to encounter noises, odor, lights, mud, dust, smoke, chemicals,
machinery on public roads, livestock on public roads, storage and disposal of manure, and the
application by spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, soil amendment, herbicide, and
pesticides, any one or more of which may naturally occur as part of legal and non -negligent
agricultural operations.
5. All owners of land, whether ranch or residence, have obligations under state law and
county regulations with regard to the maintenance of fences and irrigation ditches, controlling
weeds, keeping livestock and pets under control, using property in accordance with zoning, and
other aspects of using and maintaining property. Residents and landowners are encouraged to
learn about these rights and responsibilities an act as good neighbors and citizens of the county.
A good introductory source for such information is "A Guide to Rural Living & Small Scale
Agriculture" put out by the Colorado State University Extension Office in Garfield County.
6. The mineral rights associated with this property may not be transferred with the surface
estate therefore allowing the potential for natural resource extraction on the property by the
mineral estate owner(s) or lessee(s).
