Thomas M. Vernon, M.D.
Executive Director
I have reviewed the above referenced Preliminary Plan and offer the
following comments:
(1) I recommend that the developer consider consolidation of the
water and wastewater services with existing treatment facilities
in the immediate area.
(2) I urge the county to consider regional water and wastewater
treatment facilities for the entire Four Mile Creek drainage to
preserve and protect existing water quality.
(3) If the water system serves 15 taps or 25 people the Plans &
Specifications for the treatment system must be reviewed by the
Drinking Water Unit of the Water Quality Control Division's
Denver office.
(4) If ISDS is used, all state and county regulations must be met.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 248-7150.

RE: Lazy Diamond A Prliminary Plan
Dear Mr. McGregor:
We have reviewed the materials submitted regarding this proposal and the
general and engineering geology of the site.
The discussion of the geology and soils is very brief and would be
unacceptable but for the total absence of any geology -related problems at
the site.
One issue which does need to be addressed is the potential for accumulation
of radon gas in residential structures anticipated.
Alluvial gravels, especially those with significant igneous components
represent a highly likely source for radon and we suggest that appropriate
abatement measures be required in the building designs for this subdivision.
Given this one cautionary note, we have no objection to the approval of this
application.
Yours truly,
Jeffrey L. Hynes

Dear Andrew:
The Mount Sopris Soil Conservation District reviewed the preliminary plan
for the Lazy Diamond A subdivision at their regular meeting September 5, 1990.
Concerns of the Board were few, but they did feel it was very important that
continued use be made of any irrigation water rights presently used with
the property, with the recommendations for the use in the engineering report
being closely followed.
The Board is always concerned, in a rural area, that some means of dog control
be provided in the covenants for the homeowners, since both domestic livestock
and wildlife are in the area.
They recommend the reseeding of any disturbed areas with weed free seed and
mulch with monitoring done to be certain growth is continuing and noxious
weeds are controlled.
The Board also felt that concerns are increasing for point source and nonpoint
source pollution of groundwaters, and separate septic systems may contribute
to this pollution over an extended period of time. They would recommend that
if a central sewer system should be available in the future in the area,
connections be made to it, replacing the individual systems.
As usual, the Board appreciates the opportunity to comment on plans and
continues to have preservation and conservation of soil and water as their
prime concerns.

REFER r
Sept. 12, 1990
I refer you to my comments and letter dated 7-3-90 regarding the Lazy
Diamond A subdivision proposal. I would like to make an additional
comment for outlot number 3, which was not previosly identified. The
proponent has identified this parcel for utility and recreational
purposes. Since this lot is predominantly an oakbrush/serviceberry
hillside it is important to wintering deer/elk. To minimize impacts
it would be beneficial to:
1. Maintain native vegetation - no vegetative removal
2. Winter closure for recreational purposes from Dec. 1 - March 15
in order to protect wintering wildlife.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. Thankyou
for the opportunity to comment.

Dear Mr. McGregor:

RESER 'O
7-3-90
The Lazy Diamond A Subdivision proposal located along the Fourmile Road
and Dry Park Road lies immediately adjacent to deer and elk winter range
and winter concentration areas. These wildlife areas are the oakbrush
and pinon-juniper/sagehrush hillsides and ridges located to the east and
northeast of the subdivision and along the opposite side of the Dry Park
Road. There could be considerable spring deer use in the proposed sub-
division.
Impacts to wildlife will be minimal if:
1. No dogs or all dogs kenneled
2. Fencing of lot boundaries be 42" high, 4 strand or less
3. Maintain cottonwoods in southwest portion of subdivision
It is very likely that if homeowners have livestock or horses that winter
feeding could lure deer and elk into the subdivision resulting in
increased game damage problems for the homeowners and Division of Wild-
life. Our damage fencing is limited with priority given to commercial
operators such as cattlemen. This potential problem could be minimized
if all homeowners are required to fence their haystacks with 8'fencing.
We would be happy to furnish specific fencing specifications if you wish.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Thank -you for
the opportunity to comment.

Andrew, after reviewing the latest plot plans for the referenced
subdivision, the fire department has the following comments:
1. The water system seems to be designed properly and we are
pleased that large diameter water lines and fire hydrants are
proposed. However, we need to be assured that the system delivers
500 G.P.M. for 2 hours with 20 p. s. i. residual pressure while
flowing. (Uniform Fire Code Sec. 10.301 (c) I.S.0 Standard Guide
for Determination of Required Fire Flow)
2. Final placement of fire hydrants must meet the approval of the
fire department. This takes into consideration the installation
requirements, placement, height off the ground, threads, direction
of outlets, and marking. Uniform Fire Code Sec. 10.301 (c) (e)
3. Section 10.207 (a) requires that dead end roadways in excess of
150 feet be provided with approved provisions for the turning
around of fire apparatus. If cul—de—sacs are used as proposed, they
will need to be a minimum of 100' across. This must also take into
consideration the possibility of vehicles parking in the turn
around area.
4. If the chlorine system utilizes chlorine gas, we will need to
make sure that the building is constructed properly and that the

Dear Don:
The following is in response to some of the items you outlined
in your September 20, 1990 memo to Andrew McGregor:
1. It is contemplated that a Colorado Non -Profit
Corporation will be formed, probably under the style of "Lazy
Diamond A Homeowners Association,„for the purpose of
receiving title to the improvements, primarily the roads and
potable and irrigation water systems, and the water rights
appurtenant thereto. The Homeowners Association will be in
place prior to the first lot sale and all lots in the
subdivision shall be entitled to one (1) membership/vote.
Actual conveyance of the improvements will take place when the
subdivision is sold out. It is contemplated that the
improvements, including the water system, will be operated on
a "break even” basis, both during the development phase and
ultimately.
2. The water system will be conveyed free and clear to
the homeowners hssoeialluit and will not be expected to repay
L
any of its costs of construction out of operating income.
3. Pursuant to Sections 9:51, 9:53 and 9:55 the water
supply is the subject of a proposed plan of augmentation
developed by our office and Jerome Gamba & Associates, Inc.
Jerome F. Gamba is a registered professional engineer in the
State of Colorado and experienced in designing water treatment
and distribution facilities.
4. As set forth in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5, certain
areas of the property owned by the Axthelms have been
designated as outlots. The area along the easterly boundary
of the proposed subdivision, outside of the platted lots, is
the subject of litigation to determine the ultimate ownership.
I directed the engineers to include the disputed property in
• •

the proposed subdivision to avoid any acknowledgment of title
in the adjoining landowner. At your request, these disputed
parcels will be deleted from the preliminary plat and any
other non -subdivision areas will be designated as non -
buildable, with the exception of water storage or treatment
facilities and the present location of the Glenwood Springs
Rural Fire Protection District Four Mile Substation.
5. The other concerns outlined in your memorandum will
be covered by the corrected plat.
If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact
me.

MEMO
TO: ANDREW MCGREGOR / L1
FROM: DON K. DEFORD, COUNTY ATTORNE
RE: LAZY DIAMOND A SUBDIVISION - PRELIMINARY PLAN
DATE: September 20, 1990
In reviewing the preliminary plan for Lazy Diamond A Subdivision,
I would render the following comments on behalf of my department:
1. In reviewing the written documentation, in regard to the
supply of domestic water, the following issues must be addressed:
a. Under the provisions of Section 4:91(B), the legal
entity owning the water system must be clearly defined. The
written statement of preliminary plan simply sets forth the
"developers" as the owner. The developers need to be
identified. Further, if the developers are to own the water
system, I recommend that a proposed plan of operation for the
system be required, as it is not clear from the plan who will
operate and maintain this system at the point of full
development of the subdivision. It is not clear from the plan
why this system is not to be held and controlled by the
homeowners association. During the course of development,
such association would still be predominantly held by the
developers, but at the point of build out would be held by
those to be benefitted by the water system.
b. Additionally, there must be a plan for financing of
the water system. This applies both to construction of the
water system, as well as maintenance and operation of the
system once constructed.
c. Finally, full compliance with Sections 9:51, 9:53
and 9:55 must be achieved through the water system plan.
2. On the preliminary plan, common open space not reserved
or dedicated to the public must be so indicated. The parcel
currently marked as out lot 3, appears to be such a parcel. (See
Section 4:50(L).)
{ ANDREW MCGREGOR • •
PAGE TWO
SEPTEMBER 20, 1990
3. In regard to the plan, I note a number of depictions that
do not conform to our subdivision regulations. Parcels created by
the subdivision must be so indicated as lots. There is no
definition or provision for something called "out lots" in our
subdivision regulations. The definition of "lot" is set forth in
Section 2:20.30. The statements contained in the preliminary plan
narrative indicate "out lot" 1 is intended for ultimate development
and transfer of ownership. Therefore, it must be referred to as
a lot and meet all the conditions of a required subdivided lot.
"Out lot" 3 is also contemplated for transfer to the homeowners
association. As such, it must also be indicated as an "out lot"
and meet all conditions of subdivision for such a lot. "Out lot"
2 has practically been transferred to the Glenwood Springs Rural
Fire Protection District and it would seem appropriate to designate
that parcel as a lot within the subdivision as well. At this
juncture, I do not see any impediment from a subdivision standpoint
to indicating such interest. Additionally, I note something called
a future road easement on the plat as such easement contacts lot
1. I am not certain what a future road easement is, but unless it
is dedicated as an easement, it should not be included on the
preliminary plan or final plat.
4. I note two parcels in the northeast corner of the
subdivision that are created through this subdivision but are not
enumerated as parcels and both of which do not comply with the
subdivision regulations. Without compliance with the subdivision
regulations, these two parcels by themselves make the plan
unacceptable. These parcels must have legal access or be defined
or accounted for in some other manner in order to be part of this
plat. Additionally, if the position is taken that these parcels
are not included in the legal description of the subdivision, it
is equally an illegal split of property. These parcels are less
than the minimum necessary for exemption from subdivision and
therefore can be created only through subdivision.
5. Lot 1 should be deleted unless ownership is clarified.
(Section 4:50(D); Section 5:24(A)& (E))
6. In regard to roads, all streets and roads within the
subdivision must be constructed in compliance with the provisions
of Section 9:30 through 9:37.3. Additionally, the street
designated as Home Place appears to exceed the maximum permitted
culdesac length of 9:34(b), unless the applicant can demonstrate
that such culdesac must be approved for topographical reasons and
it is approved as a fire protection emergency. In regard to
streets and roads within the subdivision, comment from the Road &
Bridge Dept. should be obtained regarding the access points
designated in the subdivision to Four Mile Road. I note that the
access for Ranch Lane is in moderately close proximity to the
2
-�* ANDREW MCGREGOR 41

•
intersection of Park and Four Mile Road, a fire station and a known
dangerous curve. Finally, the designated utility easement
paralleling Four Mile Road must be verified to lie outside of the
right-of-way for Four Mile Road.
7. Lastly, in regard to exactions concerning roads, contact
with the Board of County Commissioners should be had prior to
submittal of the preliminary plan in order to ascertain what manner
and extent of contributions will be required for the improvement
of Four Mile Road. Such requirements could run from dedication of
necessary right-of-way to monetary contributions to the improvement
of the road. At this juncture, I am not aware of a final decision
by the Board of Commissioners concerning such participation in
improvement of the Four Mile Road corridor.
8. The developer should review the provisions of Section
9:80 to make sure that literal compliance with the requirements of
that section have been met.
The foregoing concludes my comments upon the preliminary plan. If
you have any questions, please raise them at your earliest
convenience.

Dear Mr. McGregor:
JERIS A. DANIELSON

`'.. cam,,. �'F •{t
We have reviewed the above referenced preliminary plan for a twelve lot
subdivision of 85.67 acres. Three outlots are to be created along with the
twelve residential lots. The proposed water supply source is the Bershenyi
Spring. Water supply information prepared by Jerome Gamba & Associates
indicates there is a sufficient physical supply to serve the development.
This report also indicates that the central water system will provide
satisfactory water quality.
The applicant proposes to use the Atkinson Ditch to provide replacement
water to allow the spring to be used when it is out -of -priority. An
augmentation storage reservoir is also proposed. An augmentation plan must be
approved in Water Court before a legal water supply can be obtained.
A homeowner's association with powers to enforce compliance with the
augmentation should be formed. The water rights used to supply the
development and provide replacement water should be conveyed to the
homeowner's association. One individual should probably be designated to be
specifically responsible. His name and telephone number should be provided to
our Division Engineer and Water Commissioner.
In summary, we ask that the preliminary plan be held in abeyance until
the augmentation plan has been filed in Water Court and we can review it.
Guarantees for the construction of the reservoir should be among the
conditions of any approval.
Sincerely,

RE: Axthelm Subdivision
Four Mile Road
Dear Mr. Bean:
The preliminary plan for the Axthelm subdivision on Four Mile
Road does not reflect a pipeline easement for the Zilm-Atkinson Ditch
Pipeline which crosses the Axthelm property.
I am sure that this is an item which will be addressed on the final
plat but felt this should be brought to the departments attention
for review and inclusion.
If you have any questions regarding this easement, please call me
at 945-2020.
Sincerely,

MEMO
TO: ANDREW McGREGOR, PLANNER
FROM: DON K. DEFORD, COUNTY ATTORN
RE:
DATE: May 4, 1992
INITIAL DOCUMENT REVIEW - LAZY DIAMOND A SUBDIVISION
At this juncture, I have the following comments concerning this
submittal.
1. This review is limited to supplemental information set
forth at 5:31 of the final plat requirements. In regard to
Paragraph A, I have located no plans for roads of any kind, let
alone those approved for construction. The plans for the water
system do not indicate "approved for construction". Similarly, the
tank documents do not contain such a stamp or marked drawing.
Finally, I note the details at the last page contain cross-sections
for sewer lines. I am not aware of any sewer line construction in
this subdivision.
2. Subdivision Improvements Agreement. I have a number of
suggestions in regard to the current language of the Subdivision
Improvements Agreement:
a. We have been tendered as Exhibit B voluminous
contract documents in lieu of a succinct delineation of
improvements and costs. I note that this agreement must be
a recordable document. I do not believe it is acceptable that
we must record nearly 100 pages of irrelevant contract
documents to obtain the necessary statement on improvements
and costs. That should be set forth in a specific exhibit
drafted for the purpose of this agreement.
b. Section 1, the last paragraph regarding the County's
commitment needs to be amended to read as follows: "The
County agrees that if improvements are installed in accordance
with this agreement, final plat documents and the requirements
of the preliminary plan and further that if all of the other
requirements of this agreement and preliminary plan are met,
then Axthelm shall be deemed to have satisfied all terms and
conditions of the zoning and subdivision laws, resolutions and
regulations of Garfield County, Colorado, including, but not
limited to, Resolution 91-044 adopted by the County on May 6,
1991.
c. Security for Improvements. This paragraph is
unacceptable in its current form. While it appears that the
provisions of Section 30-28-137, Section 30-28-110, C.R.S.
1973, as amended, Section 1:62 of the Garfield County
Subdivision Regulations would permit approval of a final plat
and holding such plat for recording to a later point in time
• •
MEMO TO ANDREW McGREGOR
PAGE 2
MAY 4, 1992
pending completion of improvements, that is not the normal
practice of this County. I note that Section 5:13 of the
Garfield County Subdivision Regulations mandates recording of
an approved plat ninety (90) days after such approval, unless
the Board specifically authorizes such recording in writing.
Further, Section 5:31(b) requires tender of a subdivision
improvements agreement at the time of tender of final plat
documents. Section 2:20.50 of the Garfield County Subdivision
Regulations, defines such agreement as a security arrangement.
The current proposed paragraph does not provide for such
arrangement and, further, does not provide a complete
mechanism for certification of improvements and approval of
improvements, if no security is provided. Given the
foregoing, my first preference is for the subdivider to
provide security in the form of a letter of credit for the
full amount of the anticipated improvements at the time that
the execution of the final plat is sought. Normal practice
of the County would allow for recording of both documents,
and, hence, sale of lots, and would raise no questions about
compliance with the subdivision regulations and statutory
provisions regarding subdivision.
If Axthelm is unwilling, unable, or has strong
preferences not to provide such security, the proposal
regarding failure to record the plat may provide an acceptable
alternative procedure. However, greater specificity regarding
certification of as -built plans, approval of such plans and
certifications by the County, and specific delineation of the
inability to convey, sell or otherwise exchange the lots that
are proposed as part of this subdivision until such recording,
are all items that need to be covered in this paragraph. If
this is the method of security to be followed, it will need
to be presented to the Board of Commissioners for their
approval as appropriate under the provisions of Section 30-
28-127(1)(b), C.R.S. 1973, as amended.
d. Roads. The provision on roads states that the roads
within the subdivision shall be private. This conflicts with
the language of the plat that requires public dedication of
the roads, language of the by-laws that states that the roads
are public and language of the covenants that states that the
roads are private. Consistency is needed between the
documents.
e. In addition to the paragraphs currently in place,
we need the following provisions added to this agreement:
Enforcement. In addition to any rights which may be
provided by Colorado statute, it is mutually agreed that the
County or any purchaser of a lot or unit within the
•
MEMO TO ANDREW McGREGOR
PAGE 3
MAY 4, 1992
subdivision shall have the authority to bring an action in the
District court of Garfield County, Colorado, to compel the
enforcement of this Agreement. Such authority shall include
the right to compel rescission of any sale, conveyance, or
transfer of any lot or unit contrary to the provisions of this
Agreement, or as set forth on the Plat of the subdivision, or
in any separate recorded instrument.
Consent to Vacate Final Plat. in the event that Axthelm
fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the County
shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat, as it
pertains to undeveloped lots only. Any existing developed
lots, or lots which subdivision improvements have been
properly constructed, shall not be vacated and final plat as
to those lots shall remain valid. Axthelm shall provide a
survey and complete legal description, with a map showing the
location of any portion of the plat so vacated.
Approval of Plat. The County agrees to approval of the
Plat subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3. Quit -Claim Deed. The quit -claim deed appears to be in
appropriate form.
4. Articles of Incorporation. Article IV. Powers - A
paragraph 6 needs to be added to the powers authorizing the
Homeowners Association to own, purchase and convey real property,
including the open space designated in the Final Plat documents,
as well as the right to own, sell and otherwise convey water rights
set forth in the Quit -Claim Deed attached as Exhibit A.
5. Bylaws of the Homeowners Association.
a. Article VII. Common Areas. It was my understanding
that common areas were being dedicated for the use and benefit
of all property owners.
b. Article VIII. Roads. Paragraph 1 - as noted
earlier, this provision states the roads will be public, but
managed and controlled by the Association. This is my
understanding of the PUD, but it is inconsistent with the
provisions of the Subdivisions Improvements Agreement.
6. Protective Covenants.
a. (3.1) A sentence needs to be added to this
provision providing that no guest house may be constructed
without appropriate permitting by Garfield County.
• •
MEMO TO ANDREW McGREGOR
PAGE 4
MAY 4, 1992
b. (3.6) This provision is not consistent with the
Building Code and zoning provisions of Garfield County.
Twenty-five (25) feet is the maximum height for any structure,
under both of those provisions as defined by those
regulations.
c. (3.8) I am not certain that this provision is
consistent with the plat note requiring compliance with Plat
Note 11. I believe that Plat Note may require a non -wood or
fire retardant material for a roof. Additionally, I should
note generally that I see no incorporation of Plat Note 11.
in the covenants of the subdivision.
d. Existing Foliage. Although I am familiar with the
topography of this subdivision, and am aware that it is not
heavily forested, I am not certain that Paragraph 5 complies
with Plat Note 11. regarding necessary wildfire protection
measures. To the extent of inconsistency, it needs to be
modified.
e. Roadways. This provision may be inconsistent with
other provisions in the by-laws, as well as the Plat Note,
certificate of dedication and ownership.
f. (18.1) Although this paragraph does not directly
concern the County, I note that at no point does it require
approval of the Architectural Control Committee prior to
construction. While the Architectural Control Committee must
be provided with sets of plans and use its best judgment in
reviewing those plans, it does not appear to state that the
no construction can occur until approval, written or otherwise
is obtained from the Architectural Control Committee.
7. Adequate documentation has been submitted with regard to
the necessary certification from the County Treasurer's Office,
pursuant to 5:31(c).
8. 5:31(d), Subdivision Covenants, have been discussed
above.
9. 5:31(e), Evidence of Appropriate Roads and Other Service.
This will exist to the extent that they will be completed in
compliance with the Subdivision Improvements Agreement and other
final plat documents. I note, at this time, we have received no
"as -built" plans or "approved for construction" plans concerning
the roads in the subdivision, hence, compliance with this provision
cannot be had until those documents are obtained.
10. 5:31(f) is not applicable.
• •
MEMO TO ANDREW McGREGOR
PAGE 5
MAY 4, 1992
11. 5:31(g), compliance with this provision appears to be
had in that an approved decree has been tendered regarding
augmentation as required by the State Engineer and the preliminary
plan approval documents.
12. 5:31(h), School Impact Fees, will be provided for in the
final agreement.
13. 5:31(i), compliance will be had with this provision
through enforcement of the covenants and other attendant documents.
In regard to the provisions of the preliminary plan requirements
(Resolution No. 91-044), in regard to Paragraph 3 of those
provisions, it is not clear that the applicant has made provision
for all road improvements on and off site in the application. In
particular, I find no reference to dust retardant and the cost of
applying that retardant for a two-year period, together with
improvements for County Road 117 in terms of cost. In regard to
Paragraph 4, we have previously noted that no road plans have been
tendered at this point. In regard to Paragraph 10, I am not aware
as to what permits may or may not have been obtained from the Road
and Bridge Department, but such must be obtained in the near future
if road improvements to the subdivision are to commence. In regard
to Paragraph 14, no approval of the water system plans have been
tendered. The remainder of the provisions of the Preliminary Plan
approval appear to have full compliance.
Finally, I come to the plat itself. I have previously noted that
the certificate and dedication of ownership is not consistent with
other provisions in the documents regarding the private or public
status of the roads. I agree that the certificate is that
currently required by the County. However, if private roads are
to be established for this subdivision, the required dedication
must be altered. The remainder of the requirements for the plat
appear to have compliance.
The foregoing constitute my comments regarding the documents
submitted by Mr. Fitzgerald for final plat review.

RE: New 10 Underground Electric Service,
Lazy Diamond A Subdivision
(303) 945-5491
FAX: 945-4081
Dear Pat:
We have completed a design and cost estimate for providing
electric service to the aforementioned project. Our facilities
will be installed as generally shown and highlighted on the
"Topographic and Utility Plan" for Lazy Diamond A Subdivision,
herein attached.
Total estimated cost of underground
construction $37,600.00
Construction deposit consisting of
equivalent overhead credits
(refundable) $27,150.00
Contribution in aid of construction
(non-recoverable) 10,450.00
Total payment required before
starting work on the project $37,600.00
The above figures are only estimates. After the job has been
completed, the actual cost of construction will be determined.
Your contribution and deposit will be adjusted to reflect the
actual cost by making a refund or further assessment. Execution
of this document constitutes agreement to pay any further
assessment in a timely manner. Adjusted construction deposits
are available for refund over a ten year period as specified by
Holy Cross Electric's Line Extension Policy.
Upon expiration of the ten year refund period, any remaining
construction deposit balance will be applied as a non-recoverable
contribution in aid of construction to this work order.
Our power facilities must be installed on an easement. Please
forward me a copy of the latest deed showing current ownership of
the project property. This copy must also show the book and page
of its recording at the County courthouse. I will use this
information to prepare the easement for signature.
The following conditions are hereby noted:
1. The enclosed "Request For Load Information" form must be
completed, signed, and returned.
2. Lot corners or other locations will be provided by the
developer as needed to ensure that our facilities are
installed as shown on the attached topographic and
utility plan.
3. Holy Cross Electric has implemented a policy which requires
that project owners provide all excavation, backfill,
compaction and cleanup needed for installation of the
underground power system extension to serve their new
development. The owner must also set all vaults and install
all conduits as specified by Holy Cross Electric's design
for the project and the enclosed construction
specifications. Holy Cross Electric will supply all
material which can be picked up by the owner at the
appropriate storage yard. The cost of this material is
included in the job cost estimate. The attached Trench
Agreement must be properly executed and returned prior to
the start of excavation.
Mr. Pat Fitzgerald

4. The above estimate is for Holy Cross Electric facilities
only and does not include the installation of telephone or
television facilities. It will be the developer's
responsibility to coordinate construction and make
contractual agreements with the other utilities.
5. There is no provision in our estimate for revegetation.
Revegetation, if required, must be provided by parties other
than Holy Cross Electric.
6. Secondary voltage available will be 120/240, single-phase.
7. Secondary voltage will be made available at a pad -mounted
transformer located within a reasonable distance of each
lot. It will be the lot owner's responsibility to extend
underground secondary entrance conductors from the point of
power usage to the designated transformer. When reaching
the designated transformer involves a road crossing, a
conduit will be installed during construction of the primary
voltage system. It will be the lot owner's responsibility
to maintain the conduit(s) associated with his lot.
8. All underground services shall be installed in conduit ahead
of the meter. All underground services must be in conduit
beneath roads, driveways, and other areas of difficult
excavation.
9. All residential services must have an outside disconnect
accessible at all times to Holy Cross Electric personnel.
10. It shall be the consumer's responsibility to protect their
electric equipment from temporary over voltage or under
voltage situations resulting from causes beyond the control
of Holy Cross Electric.
11. The above mentioned cost estimate does not include connect
fees or meter deposits, if required. Arrangements for
payment of these items and for scheduling the actual meter
installation should be made through the local Holy Cross
Electric office.
12. All Holy Cross Electric rules and regulations will be
followed.
When Holy Cross Electric is in receipt of your check in the
amount of $37,600.00, all necessary executed easements, other
permits, if required, a completed "Request For Load Information"
form, the executed trench agreement, and the signed original of
this letter agreement (below), the job can be scheduled for
construction.

GAS MAIN EXTENSION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, executed to be effective a_,�3`)9 ; by
and between Larry Axthelm/ Lazy Diamond A ("Applicant",
whether one or more), and the Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Division
of K N Energy, Inc., a Kansas corporation ("Company"). In
consideration of these promises and other valuable consideration
herein acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Applicant is desirous of securing natural gas service and
Company is desirous of furnishing such service. It will
be necessary for Company to construct approximately
2,200 feet of 2 inch distribution main extension from
a main along 117 Rd to Home Place & Ranch Ln
Glenwood Springs, Colorado (location of extension) .
Company will install free of charge 0 feet for each
Applicant. Applicant agrees to pay to the Company as an
advance for construction an amount equal to $ 3.00 per
foot for the difference between the total footage of
pipeline and the amount of free construction. A trenching
credit of $1.50 per foot has been allowed
2. The Company agrees that should any additional customer
desire to be connected to the subject extension within
five years from the above date, other than further
extensions thereto, it will refund one-time to the

Re: Lazy Diamond A Preliminary Plan
Sections 3 & 10, T7S, R89W
Dear Mr. McGregor:
We have reviewed the above referenced preliminary plan for a twelve lot
subdivision of 85.67 acres. Three outlots are to be created along with the
twelve residential lots. The proposed water supply source is the Bershenyi
Spring. Water supply information prepared by Jerome Gamba & Associates
indicates there is a sufficient physlical supply to serve the development.
This report also indicates that the 1 central water system will provide
satisfactory water quality.
The applicant proposes to use the Atkinson Ditch to provide replacement
water to allow the spring to be used when it is out -of -priority. An
augmentation storage reservoir is also proposed. An augmentation plan must be
approved in Water Court before a legal w4ter supply can be obtained.
I
A homeowner's association with powers to enforce compliance with the
augmentation should be formed. The water rights used to supply the
development and provide replacement Water should be conveyed to the
homeowner's association. One individial should probably be designated to be
specifically responsible. His name and telephone number should be provided to
our Division Engineer and Water Commissioner.
In summary, we ask that the preliminary plan be held in abeyance until
the augmentation plan has been filed in Water Court and we can review it.
Guarantees for the construction of 'the reservoir should be among the
conditions of any approval.
Sincerely,
James C. McDanold, P.E.

CLAIM FOR APPROVAL OF AUGMENTATION PLAN
11. (A) Structures to be used for augmentation:
(i) Axthelm Pond (described in paragraph 10 above)
(ii) Atkinson Ditch (described in paragraph 9 above)
(B) Water right(s) to be augmented:
(i) Hammerich Pipeline a/k/a Bershenyi Spring. The
Hammerich Pipeline was decreed on October 24, 1952 in Case No.
CA -4033 with an appropriation date of September 1, 1914 for 0.15
cfs absolute to be used for domestic and other beneficial uses.
The legal description of the point of diversion is whence the
Southeast Corner of Section 10, Township 7 South, Range 89 West
of the 6th P.M. bears South 47°18' East 7208.7 feet.
CLAIM FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION
12. Applicant intends to provide a legal water supply to
the Lazy Diamond A Subdivision. The development consists of 13
lots. The central water supply system will obtain its water
supply from the Bershenyi Spring. The total estimated water
depletion for the Lazy Diamond A project is 2.21 acre feet per
year. The central system will divert 7.21 acre feet for in-house
domestic purposes and for the irrigation of lawns and gardens
(assumed to be no more than 2500 square feet per unit) from the
municipal system. The lands that will be removed by the
construction of the development will result in drying up 4.64
acres historically irrigated and result in an historic
consumptive use credit of 9.2 acre feet. Water will be stored in
the Axthelm Pond under its own priority in the non -irrigation
season and releases from the pond will augment any downstream
rights that may call the Bershenyi Spring out of priority.
Under full development, average year augmentation releases
to Four Mile Creek above the Four Mile Ditch will be as follows:
Schedule I
Headgate Reservoir Reservoir
Release Release Volume
April .28 .29 4.71
May .99 5.0
June 1.15 5.0
July 1.21 5.0
August 1.02 5.0
September .90 5.0
October .37 .28 4.72
• •
Under full development dry year releases to Four Mile Creek
above the Four Mile Ditch will be as follows:
Schedule II
Headgate Reservoir Reservoir
Release Release Volume
April .28 .29 4.71
May .99 5.0
June 1.15 3.85
July 1.21 2.64
August 1.02 1.62
September 0.90 0.72
October .65 0.07
There are two schedules above. Schedule II is to be used
only when the Atkinson Ditch is fully out of priority for any
part of a given month.
The balance of the historic consumptive use (2.75 af
annually) is not devoted to this augmentation plan and shall
remain available to the applicant for use. Future use of the
2.75 af must be in accordance with a court approved change case
or augmentation plan. Until such court approval is obtained
diversion and use of the remaining 2.75 af must continue in
accordance with historic practice.
The land to be dried up consisting of 4.64 acres under the
Atkinson Ditch shall be permanently removed from irrigation by
the construction of roads, driveways, buildings, the Axthelm Pond
and other subdivision improvements. This property is contained
within the subdivision, more particularly described as:
Lots 1 - 12, Lazy Diamond A Subdivision
STIPULATIONS
13. (a) The Opponent (Deer Park Properties) requested
Applicant and Applicant has agreed to "consent" to (1) the
construction by the Opponent of not more than two new wells, and
(2) the adjudication of one existing well to be located in either
Section 23, 24 or 26 of Township 7 South, Range 89 West of the
6th P.M. Each well would be capable of diverting up to 100
gallons per minute. This consent shall be further interpreted to
mean that the applicant will not oppose the efforts by Deer Park
Properties to adjudicate said wells provided said adjudication is
filed in the year 1991, or thereafter.
1 •
(b) The Opponent (Greenwald Children's Irrevocable
Trust No. 1) has consented to the within decree according to the
terms of a Stipulation dated April 7, 1992.
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
14. The foregoing Amended Findings of Fact are fully
incorporated herein.
15. The Court has considered the present Amended
Application for Storage and Change of Water Rights and for
Approval of Plan for Augmentation as set forth in paragraphs 9
through 12 above, concludes as a matter of law that such changes
and requests set forth herein will not result in injury to the
vested or conditional water rights of others and that such
limitations and conditions provided adequate measures toward the
administration by state officials.
III. JUDGMENT AND DECREE
16. The foregoing Amended Findings of Fact and Conclusions
of Law are incorporated herein and made part of the Court's
judgment and decree.
17. It is hereby ordered that the Amended Application for
Storage Rights, Change of Water Rights and Plan for Augmentation
described above is hereby granted as follows:
(a) A conditional water storage right for the Axthelm
Pond as more fully described in paragraph 10 be granted.
(b) The change in water right of the portion of the
Atkinson Ditch more fully described in paragraph 9 above
from irrigation to domestic and storage by augmentation be
granted and approved and no water user will be injured
thereby.
(c) The augmentation plan described in paragraph 12
above shall be approved and granted and no water user shall
be injured thereby.
(d) At times when the Bershenyi Spring and/or
Hammerich Spring and Pipeline priorities are out of priority
and a valid call is being effected on Four Mile Creek that
would affect diversions by such water rights, diversions
into the Atkinson Ditch shall be reduced by the amount of
the diversion of Axthelm's share of the Bershenyi Spring
a/k/a Hammerich Spring and Pipeline up to 0.12 cfs.
18. This matter is subject to the retained jurisdiction of
this Court pursuant to C.R.S. §37-90-304(6) pursuant to which the
• •
question of injury to the water rights of others may be reopened
and re-examined at any time prior to three years after 80% of the
lots within the development have been completed.
19. An Application for a,Finding of Reasonable Diligence
shall be filed in April of 1998 and in April of every sixth
calendar year thereafter so long as the Claimant desires to
maintain the conditional water right or until a determintion has
been made that this conditional water right has become an
absolute water right by reason of the completion of the
appropriation, or otherwise disposed of.
20. It is accordingly ordered that this Amended Judgment
and Decree shall be filed with the Water Clerk and shall be
effected upon such filing, subject to judicial review pursuant to
C.R.S. §37-92-304 (1990).
21. It is further ordered that a copy of the Amended
Judgment and Decree shall be filed with the State Engineer and
the Division Engineer for Water Division No. 5.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Don DeFord, County Attorney
FROM: Andrew McGregor, Planner
DATE: January 7, 1992
RE: Greenwald v. Axthelm
The property described in this action is located adjacent to the proposed Lazy Diamond A.
This property was originally included in the application until it was disclosed that this property
was subject to disputed ownership. Subsequently, it was withdrawn from the application.
As [ believe we have discussed in the past, with the applicants, any modification to the existing
approved prelimi nary plan will require a new preliminary plan hearing as prescribed in Section
4: Preliminary Plans of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations. This would include the
addition of the disputed property into the subdivision boundaries. Even if roads and utilities
were extended to the property, which remained outside the subdivision boundaries, this would
require modification of the preliminary plan.
In summary, any inclusion of the disputed property will require the Axthelms to go through
the preliminary plan process.
