Gentlemen:
I am writing this letter on behalf of Colorado Rocky Mountain School ("CRMS").
As I imagine you are aware, the historic right-of-way for Garfield County Road 106 runs
through the heart of the CRMS campus. In December, 1979, the Garfield County
Commissioners closed this road to public vehicular traffic and removed it from the County
primary road system. This road closure occurred in connection with CRMS' donation to the
County of the right-of-way for what is now known as Delores Way. However, the County did
not formally vacate the old 106 right-of-way at the time it acquired Delores Way.
At this time, as part of its planning process, and in an effort to try to gain more certainty
about where development can occur on its campus, CRMS is going to petition the Board of
County Commissioners of Garfield County to vacate that portion of County Road 106 which has
peen closed to the public since 1979 One of the requirements of such a petition is that the
petitioner provide the County with a letter from any involved utility company stating the
company's position on the proposed road vacation.
I am aware that the Town maintains existing water and sewer lines within the roadway
proposed to be vacated. I have enclosed an Exhibit Map prepared by Schmueser Gordon Meyer

for CRMS which depicts the portion of the road to be vacated along with the existing utility lines
within that corridor.
If the request to vacate the road is approved by Garfield County, CRMS will grant the
Town a permanent, non-exclusive easement for its existing water and sewer lines. I therefore
believe that the vacation of the road will not adversely affect the Town's legal rights to operate
and maintain the existing water and sewer lines.
I would greatly appreciate it if one of you could send me some form of letter or e-mail
indicating any questions or concerns that the Town may have about the proposed road vacation.
I would of course be happy to discuss this matter with you in more detail if you have questions.
Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
BALCOMB & GREEN, P.C.
