Bedrock Geology:
The subject property is regionally located near the
axis of-the iiclance Basin-which contains a 20,000
foot thickness of sedimentary rock formations. The
area is geologic aLLy stable having no known faults or

These soils are called Potts loam and are deep, well
drained soils situated on mesas, benches and va1ley
sidslopes. They are formed in eolian material on
alluviuns from sandstone, shale or basalt. Elevation
ranges from 5 1280 to 5 1620 feet. The average annual
pre-ipitation is about L4 inches, the average annual
air temperdture is about 46 degrees F., with an average
of LZ| frost-free days.
Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about
4 inches thick. Yhe subsoil is reddish brown light
clay loam about 24 inches thick. The substratum is
pinkish white loam extending to a depth of more than
60 inches.
Included with these soil groups are sma1l areas of
01ney, Kim, and Ildefonso soils which nay make uP
to 10 to 15 percent of these units.
Permeability of the Potts soil is noderate" Effective
rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Available water
capacity is high. Surfaee runoff is slow and the
erosion hazard is moderate"
This soil is used principally for irrigated crops
and hay, and for dry land farming. Crops include
a1fa1fa, sma11 grains, and grass-legume hays.
The native vegetation on these soils were mainly
bluebunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, needle
and thread, and big sagebrush"
When range conditions deteriorate, forbs and woody
shrubs increase. The presence of undersirable weeds
and annual plants indicate range conditions are poor.
Wildlife using these soils for habitat include dove,
pheasent, cottontail rabit, some mule deer and squirrel
Potts soil has a good potential for community and
recreational development. The main linitations for
these uses are strength, moderate piping and 1ow
frost-heave. Conventional dwellings and roads may
be econlnically designed to compensate for these
linitations.
Slope Stability:
None of the slopes are potentially unstable. The
ground adj acent to Dry Creek are quite stable as
evident by the steep banks of this drainage course.
Slope Hazards: The majority of slopes are under
@offer no slope hazards.

Paragraph c. Vegetation
See Sheet Number 7, 'rVegatation Mapt'
The Cad.astral Survey completed by the Bureau of Land
Management in the year 1886 of subject lands werereported by Clark to be covered with sagebrush.
The soils which have been mapped as Potts Loam have
been historically cleared of sagebrush and farmed,first as dryland and later,as irrigated pasture
and sma1l grain crops.
Most all of the proposed development includes the
remainder of the irrigated croplands which were theresidual from the land dedications for the airport.
Included also are some dry land cultivated fields uponwhich smal1 grains are grown with some supplementalirrigation water in those years in which excess water
from the rprimary irrigated lands is available.
The remainder of the lands have been historically utilizeas r+inter grazing lands for a sheep ranch. Sincethe purchase of the sheep ranch by the present ownersin L97,?., the ranch has been leased each year for wintergrazing of sheep and has been overgrazed. Thus the
number and variety of native grasses and forbs normallyoccuring on the various soil types are greatly reduced.
The reported plant associations for the various soilunits mapped by the Soil Conservation Service are hereinidentified.

The potential plant community in these areas are sparse
grasses with scattered shrubs. Principal grasses would
normally be Alkali Sacaton, Western Wheatgrass, Ga11eta,Saltgrass, Sanddropseed, and Bottlebrush Squirreltail.
Shrubs normally occuring would be Four Wing, Saltbrush,
Gardner Saltbrush, Greasewood, and Shadescale.
Forbs normally ocurring would be Aster, Owl Clover,Gi1ia, Buckwheat species, and Evening Prinrose.
Greasewood presently dominates the plant communitywith a sparse understory of Cheatgrass, Mustard species,
Kochia, Green Mo1Iy and Asters.
d. Wildlife
The various species of wildlife which may have beennaturally present within the proposed developnent,either as rnigrants or as seasonal or permanent residents,
has been altered by the ranching and farming of thelands which have changed the natural vegetation and
smal1 mammal, bird, raptor, rllamalian,
communities.
The Soil Conservation Service indicateswildlife conmunity associated with the

presently napped would include pheasent, mourningcottontail rabbit, squirrel and some mule deer.
Mule deer have historically traversed across theproperty from their habitat to the south to the ColoradoRiver for water and feeding. The e1k have restrictedtheir movements along Mamm Creek where there is more
cover.
The Colorado State Highway Departnent and the Garfield
County Airport Authority have individually and combinely
have had constructed deer fencing to discourage movementof mule deer across the airport, and thereby have alsoeliminated deer movement across subject lands.
With the continued development of the property, the
lands will be no longer operated as a ranch and farningunit which will pernit natural vegetation and fauna toreestablish their respective communities in the desig-
nated open space reserves on the properties.

General:
The lands of the proposed project are within two water-
sheds tributary to the main stem of the Colorado Rivert
Mamm Creek and Dry Creek.
Flood Insurance Study:
The Colorado River from mile 450.5 to nile 454.4
above Lees Ferry was investigated as existence and
severity of flood hazards under the National Flood
Insurance Progran as sponsored by the County of Garield.
The upper reach of the study is approximately 1"0 miles
west of the p.roposed project lands. The Insurance
Program became effective in December, L977 for unincorp-
orated areas of the County within the study area.
The hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for the study
was conpleted by the U.S" Army Corps of Engineers,
Sacramento District, for the Federal Insurance Admin-
istration.
The stream bed of the Colorado River at Mile 454.4
has a given mean sea level elevation of 5305.5 feet
with a high water stage of elevation 5319.5 feet for
the 100 year flood as determined by the study. The
Colorado River has an average stream gradient of 13.6
feet per nile in the study area.
The projected high water surface elevation of the 100
year flood at the western linits of the project lands
would be approximateLy 5334.0 feetabove sea leve1.
The lowest ground surface elevation of the project
lands is approximately 5440 feet above mean sea 1eve1,
or some 100- feet above the high water stage of the 100
year f1ood.

rn 0ctober of 1978, the Garfield county Airport Authority,initiated plans to improve the collection and diversionfacilities at the intake to the Crann Pipe Line.
There are six or seven seperate springs within thegulch as shown on the attached plans. The AirportAuthority plans were to develope three of these springsto develope a firm supply of 30 GPM to satisfy theirdevelopment needs as outlined in their Airport Master
Plan "
Planned improvements were initiated and completed in the
sunmer of 1979 and included the construction of two
underground collection trenches to intercept springwater below the ground surface, a enclosed Parshallwater metering flume, sedirnentation chamber and connect-ion to the existing 4 inch pipe 1ine.
The water year 1978 -1979 represented the driest yearof record for annual precipitation and run-off.

ir b. Historic Use
The Crann Pipeline Ditch has been used
continuously since its construction for
domestic use, stock wateringr oD a yeatly
basis and during the irrigation season fororchard, garden farm and grain crop irrigation
usage.
The pipeline and its appurtances have beenrepaired and replaced from time to time,
and mostlrecently irnproved. Present minimumwinter time, drouth yield has been measuredat not less than 75 gprn with an average flowof 150 gpm. Summer yields are greater when
ground water activity is greater.
The proposed water wel1s will have as their
source of supply the subsurface hydrologic
system of the Colorado River. The ColoradoRiver in its downcutting has deposited exteri-sive river gravels which underly the over-
burden of the plains adjacent to the river.
These gravels are encountered at a depth of
LZ feet at the existing pump station at thenortheast edge of the property near MammCreek. The depth of these a11uvial gravel
deposits vary but are generally 30 feet in
thickness along this reach of the Colorado
River.
Capacity of wells are a funCtion of thehydraulic draw down in the well casing andthe infiltration rate, both of which arerelated to the casing diameter and penetra-into the al1uvial gravels. Thus wel1s may
be engineered and constructed to capacitiesin excess of 1000 gpm yield rates.
Wel1s will have a ajudication date
which will be cal1ab1e out of thesenior rights for domestic usage;

See Sheet Number 10, "Sanitaty Sewer Collection Systemt'.
Inaccordance with the submittal information andsubs-equent responses to questions raised by theGarfield County Planning Department at that time,sanitary wastewater treatment facilities were to beon site and consist of aerated sewage lagoons.
The capaclty ofthe initial facility was to be suchas to properly treat 30,000 to 501000 gallons per day.
subsequently, several intervening events have occuredwhich may have some effect upon the method of waste-water disposal for the proposed Industrial/ GeneralService District.
The resolution , Resolution No. 77-I, approving thePlanned Unit Development amendment to tha ZoningResolution of Garfield County was adopted by theCounty Commissioners in January 1977.
In November, L976, the City of Rifle had completedtheir ?,0L Facilities Plan for review by the variousa$encies effected by the Plan. The service area in-cluded in the Plan were defined as those areas northof the Colorado River that were within the City ofRifle or its future annexations, and an area southof the Colorado River within the Service Area of theRifle village south Metropolitan District which easterlyboundary limits was the West Line of Section L4, somel/2 mile to the west of the property under the ipproved

The proposed interceptor sewer Ii-ne was to be con-
struttea adjacent to Interstate Highway 70 and extend
from the "Districtrs" plant facilities to,a point
1000 feet east of the Rifle Interchange. The location,
size, ownership, and operator of the interceptor line
were all contested and thoroughly studied by all envolved.
The "District'r presented data and information that
the line should be sized, and site approval given,
to serve some 2 1754 acres south of the Colorado
River whichwas projected to have a contributing
population ultimately of 31r396 persons, requiring '2liZe ?,L inch pipeline at the lower extremities of the
interceptor sewer line. The line was to extend to the
County Airport and included afu1 the PUD south of the
Airport.
This density was objected to by the City and the State.
The first revision to the City of Riflers 20L Facility
Plan, dated March of L977, reduced the requested capa-
city to serve an ultinate population of 31r000 persons
to L2rZ3Z persons or approximately 3,200 single fanily-
dwelling units or an e(uivalent thereof. The projected
peak design flow for the above interceptor line as
set forth-in the Amended Facility Plan for the L21230
persons was 3,L791800 gPd, or 21208 gPm, or 4.9? cfs.
The maximulh grade in the 2 miles of distance between
the "Distric!trtt plant site and the Rifle Interchange
waS 0.0022 feet per foot.
The capacity of a 18 inch diameter pipeline at the ao-ove
stated maximum obtainable grade is 5.00 cfs.
Thus, or April 5, L977, the Colorado Water QualityControl Comnission gave the District site approval to
construct a size 18-inch interceptor sewer from its
plant site to a point 1000 feet east of the Rifle
Interchange at I-70 to eventually serve L21230 persons.
The amended 20I Facilities Ptran of 0ctober, L977,
and of June, 1979 reflect the final accepted concept
that lands south of the Colorado River would be served
through the Rifle Village South Metropolitan District
and its sanitary sewer facilities.
The size 18 inch interceptor Sewer line has been const--
ructed from the "DistrictrS" wastewater treatment facil-
ities to a 1000 feet east of the Rifle Interchatrg€,
which point is approximately the West Line of Section 15,
or 2 miles west of the proposed project.
Incoordination with the ?01 Facility Plan planning pro-
cess, the developrnent of 'the 208 Management Plan
by the Colorado West Area Council of Goverments
was being completed under the 208 Planning Process.
This compteted plan encompasses the ZlL Facility Plans
within the Garfield and adjacent counties.
Within this planning study, the approved PUD south
of the airpoi't, refered to as the l'Rifle Airport Indust-
rial Park was included as apart thereof. The projedted
population for this subdivision !y this "Plan'r was
ioire 4r800 persons from residential development and

Dear Bob
I am sending th'is letter as the means of expressing rny appreciation for the
assistance you have given us in the planning and processing of the Garfield
County Airport Industrial Park Complex. The proiect has benefited from your
involvement. Thank you for your time and ideas.
Bob Chancellor, Tink Garel and I believe that the County's action in approving
the zon'ing and PUD plan is a major early step'in the realization of a desirable
development. However we recognize that it is only an early step and there
are many more that w'ill need to be taken before the proiect can be determined
successful from both the County's and Mr. Chancellor's v'iewpoint. Therefore
we look forward to continu'ing to work wiih you and other members of the
Garfield County government.
LIith that in mind Llr. Chancellor has asked me to serve as the corffnunication
link with the County government for p'lanning matters concerning this project.
l4r. Garel r.rill do the same in regards to engineering matters. Therefore I
will keep you informed as to planning activities that are being taken in
regards to this project and I would apprec'iate it if you could feep ry informed
as to any pending or proposed County actjons that might affect it. These
actions might include such things as the development of a land use and
circulation p'lan for a'l'l or a part of the County; implementing the p'lan for
the County A'irport; and changes in the County's zoning and subdivision
regul ati ons.
I look forlard to continu'ing to work vrith you on this important Cevelopment.
Yours tru'ly

RE: Garfield. County Airport Industrial park Complex
Dear Jerry:
Recently we discussed the language to be included in aresolution of the Garfield Planning Commission pertaining tothe approval of the above captioned PUD, which language I
presume will be carried over and made a part of the resolutionof the Board. of County Commissi-oners
In an effort to more completely understand the problem, I
have carefully reviewed the Garfield County PUD Amendment tothe Zoning Resol-ution and the Zoning Submission prepared by
James I{. Bowers and Associates, Inc. I have also carefully
reviewed the Water Augmentation Plan submitted by T.V. Garel
and the letters and responses to the plan of both the Divisionof I'Iater Resources in Denver and the Garfield County PlanningDepartment. I have not seen anything that finally approvesthe plan, but r14r. Garel te1Is me that this was in the formof a letter addressed to the Garfield County Planning Department.
In connection with the PUD approval, Mr. Garei- also submitteda detailed plan for the development of the water for thearea. Both the Augmentatj-on Plan and this report were
reviewed by Black and Veatch, Consulting Engineers, and a
copy of their report was included in the zoning submission.
A11 of these documents amply demonstrate the sufficiency ofthe quantity of water available for the PUD development, but
none of the reports go into the specifj-cs of the nature ofthe physical system that is proposed to be used to deliverthe water to the subdivision. I discussed this fact with[Ir. Gare1.
He advised me that it was his understanding that the PriD
approval as outlined in the PUD Amendment to the Zoning
Resolution only went to the broad. concerns as to the availability

of water. This seems to be substantiated by the amendmentitself in that it makes reference to the ad6quancy of waterby requiring the appricant to include with his writtenrequest "provision for water... " and a written statement bya licensed engineer which shar-r- provid.e evidence of ', theproposed water source adequate to service the puD..." Thisarso seems to be the approach taken by the Garfierd countyPranning Department as r noticed in one of Mr. witkowski,iletters he is concerned with the avairabirity of domesticwater, the dependability of physicar supply ind priority ofrights. EIe continued, "whire r do not ieel this means anactual water decree, much of the anaryses preceeding such anacti.on might be necessary."
?he varlous documents that f analyzed adequatery demonstratethe dependability of the physical supply, the piiority ofthe rights and the adequancy of water avairable. The probremsof adequacy of a derivery system, potabirity of the water,pressure, design of the system and other matters should beleft to that point in time when actuar subdivisions aresubmitted for approval
r have discussed with Mr. chancellor and I.{r. Garer theseproblems and it is their intention to adequately d.emonstratethe viability of the water system as it pertaini to eachsubdivision for which approval is requested. r arso pointedout to them your concerns and the languagd of the PUD Amendrnentto the Zoning Resolution which provid.es that:
"Each stage within a pUD sha}l be so planned and sorelated to exi-siting surroundings and available faciltiesand services that failure to proceed to a subsequentstage will not have a substantial adverse impact on the
PUD or its surroundings. ,'
with this background in mind and. after revi-ewing othercounty resolutions approving PUDrs, r wourd propose that theresolution contain a finding that:
"That a detailed plan of augmentation for adequatedomestic water supply has been prepared and submittedto the Division of vlater Resources and this commi-ssionfor review and additional and. supplemental reports,data and information have also been furnished. Theproposed lfater Augmentation plan has been approved bythe Divsion of water Resources and the adequacy of thereport has been substantiated by Black and. Veatch,Consulting Engineers, a Supplemental Report by themhaving been submitted to the commission, which informati-oncollectively indicates the adequacy of the proposedwater source to serve the puD, subject to the imSlrimentation

Mr. Gerald ilartert

thereof and further subject to detairecl engineering andother information that may be required at the time thatsubdivisions are requested within the area incl,udedwithin the PUD. "
r would then suggest that the resorution itself be subjectto a condition pertaining to water i-n the language as forrows:
"satisfactory evid.ence of the i-mplimentation of theI{ater Augrnentation Pran to the extent that is necessaryto provide adequate, potable, domestic water shal]_ besubmitted for approval by the planning and Zoningcommission at the time any subd.ivision prans within the
PUD are submitted for approval. "
i will send a copy of this letter to Bob witkowski for hisconments on the concept that is proposed.. The languagesuggested can be red.rafted as you may suggest.
I'Ie would like to get this matter resolved as soon as possibre.
Yours very truly,

uses contempTated in the 7958 Countg GenetaT P7an, and the adopted
Master PTan for the Countg Airpott, the provision for tesidentiaT
units in the above PtlD request is in keeping with the Countg's GenetaT
P7an. Theg also found that because of its generaT reLationship to the

expressed agreement with developing to Rifle's standards. We
expect that within the next two weeks we will have completed
the package of developer deslgn and construction criteria and

Dear Lynn:
This conrnunicatj-on is in relatj-on to the proposal of Rifl-e Iand Ltd. to develop

It is the poliry of this office to revier,v developnent proposals and to conment
only on thre translrcrtation syston impacts as they affecr- the Division of Hiqh-
ways. In t].is case, we clo feel that the exLensive clevelopment pro6rcsed could
necessitate the crcnstruction of an ader:Tuate interchange at l4anu':r Creek Road and
Interstate 70" As per the existing conrnitrents of this agency, that interchange
would be oonstructed as the actual demand materiali-zes"
At this early date, there is no need for action on tl-ris Snint given the uncertain
phasing of develolrnent. Ttre site does appear to have scme aclvantages, but the
tinre trame is certainly adequate for: pre-planning to meet contingencies.

Dear Mr. Bowers:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, I have: read Mr. Theron V. GarelrsttAnalysis'of Proposed Water Supplytr pertinent to the proposed Garfield
County Airport Industrial- Park Compl-ex; read a letter dated November 4,
1976 fron Mr. Garel to !tr. Robert A. Witkowski; and have vislted the siteof the proposed devel-opment in company wi.th Mr. Garel
I have not checked any calcul-ations, diversion records, irrigated areas,ownership nor other factors involved with the water supply. I wilL wishto do this if I am to be called upon to tesEify or submit reports concerningI[y or.rn specific knowledge of and opinions on these matters. The followingis to-Present my general impressions based upon a cursory review of Mr.Garelts work. This review has been sanctioned by Mr. Garel.
Projected water Demands. The demand projections by Mr. Garel appear tobe quite realistic provided no industry is contemplated which requiressignificant amounts of process water.
Projected Water Consumption. The consr:mptive uses projected by Mr. Garel
aPpear somewhat liberal. I would expect lesser consumption, especia}l-ywith respecL to the non-irrigation classificat,ions of use.
Ilistoric Waqsr Uggre, and Consumption. The records on water usage areincomplet. a"dr-Tn a co"rt aetion, will probably have to be supplementedby testimony of those famil-iar with the ranching operation. Mr. Garelfs
methods of analysis are most acceptable and, given the data he used, hi.sresults appear qui-te reasonable.

Water Supplies. Mr. Garel cites yield from various water rights in both
ttilenafysis .f Proposed Water Supply" and the November 4, 1975 letter to
!Ir. Witkowski. These yields appear more than adequate quantitatively to
meet the projected demands even during drought periods. If not, additlonal
supplies appear readily available from the Colorado Rlver. Water qr:altty
is not mentioned. We assume that appropriate water and wastewater treatment
ls plarured for the develoPment.

Dear Mr. Witkowski:
The following is a written response to the comments offered
Dr. Jeris A. Danielson, Deputy State Engineer, Division of Water
Resources, State of Coiorador'relative to the Water Augmentation
for the above mentioned development.
1. Rsfsrence to Paragraph 1, _Regarding Adequacy of Supply for
.
The original Augnentation Plan was based on the following
Single Family Equivalent Unit (SFEU) criteria:
Residential Living Units, Original Augmentation Plan
Single Family
Multiple Fanily
Mobile Home
460 Units
401 Units
230 Units
Total Residential Units 1091 Units 865 Single Family Equivalent
The PUD submittal by James M. Bowers G Associates, Inc. is based on
the following criteria for residential living units:
Residential Living Units, PUD Submittal, August' 1976
Single Fanily Units 720 Units 720 Single Family Equivalent
480 Single FamilY Equivalent
165 Single Family Equivaleqt
Manufactured Units
Mobile Home Units
480 Units
300 Units
Total Residential Units 1500 Units I 365 Single Family Equivalent
Based on the above criteria of L,365 Single Farnily Equivalent Units
in the revised PUD Submittal, the estimated drought year domestic water
usage requirements for the irrigation months would be as follows based on
accepted criteria in the original Augmentation Plan:

Based on the average daily domestic water usage requirement of
852,000 gallons per day, including landscape irrigation during drought
year, th6 total estimated average yearly water usage requirements {o,i drought year would be as follows based on accepted criteria set forth
in the-Water Augmentation Plan.

or 928.264 acre feet Per Year
The estimated annual water depletions during a drought year for
the 1,565 single family equivalent units as set forth in the PUD sub-
mittal would be as follows based on criteria set forth in the
Augnentation Plan:
Mr. Robert A. Witkowski
November 4, L976
Page - 3
Residential Depletions: 1,365 SFEU x 64,550 gallons per year
= 88,110,000 gallons per year
Airport 300,000 gallons Per Year
School 270,000 gallons Per Year
Industrial Enployees 240,000 gallons per year
Municipal Usage and
System Losses 14,950,000 gallons per year
Tota1 Estimated Drought
Year Depletion 103,870,000 gallons per year
or 3L8.7 9 acre feet Per Year
The Augmentation Plan estirnated the average annual historical
quantity of-water depletdd fron the hydraulic system under past usages
as 666.62 acre feet per year, of which 644.16 acre feet per year was
from agricultural iriigation. Since only an estirnated 6 inches,of
precipitation per year was credited to the evapo-transpiration losses-of 32'.05 inchel per year for agricultural irrigation, the dror.rght year
depletion water histbrical usage would not substantially increase, and
tha drought year depletion for-purposes of this analysis would be the
same as for the average annual depletion.
Therefore, the proposed development under the PUD Submittal would
require that approximately L46.9 acies of the total 296.85 acres histori-
caity under iriigation be'dried-up to provide for the plojected deple::
tions to the hydraulic system under the proposed domestic water usage
during a drought year.
The original Augmentation Plan indicated 101.10 acres of irrigated
land be fried-up for the proposed developnent with 836 single family

Last Chance Ditch out of Colorado River
Stream flow data available at Cameo Gaging Station below theLast Chance Ditch since 0ctober, 1933.
Diversion flow records for ditch has not always been reported,but available since L920.
Since the late 1940rs, the Colorado River has been regulatedby storage reservoirs. Low flows in River are regulated by the
Shoshone Power Plant, seven miles above Glenwood Springs byreleases from storage reservoirs. The Power Plant has an adjudi-cation of L250 cfs. The minimum flow in River of record was 700cfs in December of 1939. In recent years, minimum flows are inthe range of 1000 to 1600 cfs.
The drought year yield of the Colorado River past the CameoStation has amounted to approximately 55% of the average yearlyyield.
The Last Chance Ditch has one ditch senior to it out of the
Colorado River in District 45.
The quantity of water called by the Last Chance Ditch is notparticularly related to the run-off in the Colorado River in thatthe year of its maximum diversion of 50 cfs for 200 days of theirrigation year of 1963. This was in a water year when only 62eoof the norrnal yield on the Colorado was produced which was nearthe drought year yield of 55% of average.
Thus, based on its priority within Water District 45 and the
Colorado River, there would be sufficient water in the River tosatisfy the call of the ditch in drought years.
Based on the most consecuative analysis using the historicallydiverted by the Last Chance Ditch in recent years, the apportion-
ment of water under the rights held on the subject lands would amountto 736 acre feet per year as indicated in the Augmentation Plan.
Taking a grought year apportionment of 55% of the average year wouldproduce a yield of 405 acre feet. This amount of water wouldsatisfy 87% of the in-house domestic needs of the proposed develop-
ment in the amount of 461 acre feet per year.
Thus, the water rights hald on the subject lands out of theLast Chance Ditch out of the Colorado River in the amount of 3.68 cfsare adequate to satisfy the domestic water needs of the proposed
development in drought years, based on its historic apportionmentof 1472 acre feet during a dry year on the River which nearly
approached the drought year yie1d.
Thus, the Augmentation Plan would be herein amended to include
conversion of water rights out of the Last Chance Ditch in that
amount necessary to satisfy deficiencies in yields from the other

In addition to the above analysis of drought ygar-yields

with the-Lasi Chance Ditch water right they have always had
quate water to irrigate the 375 acres in all yeaTs of below

ing drought years was indicated to be approximately 63.96 acre
feet.
Yields of water from the Mann Creek watershed are not of
record, therefore, only the records of the Sliding Ditch are
available for analysis.
The Mann Creek drainage basin has approximately 60 square
miles of watershed on the Northerly and Easterly slopes of the
Mann Mountain and Battlement Mesa which receive heavy winter snow
packs. Beaver Creek drainage basin has approximateLy a 16 square
mile of watershed within the same geological area.
Recorded stream flow data on the Beaver Creek drainage indi-
catesthat drought year yields are approxirnately 60ro of the average
yearly yields.
The average yearLy yields from the Sliding Ditch have amounted
to approxinately 161 acre feet per year. Drought year yield would
amount to not more than 96.6 acre feet.
Based on drought year yield on Beaver Creek, drainage of 115.6
acre feet per square mile of draina1a, the drought year production
from Mann Creek would be estimated at 6937 acre feet.
During drought year , 40% of the run-off occurs during the 150
days of the irrigation season, or 2774 acre feet.
There are 10 ditches out of Mann Creek sneior to the Sliding
Ditch having a total decreed diversion right in the amount of
1399 cubic feet per minute or 23.32 cfs. Land irrigated under these
Rights amount to approximately 1158 acres. The estimated amount
of water depleted from Mann Creek surface flow under these Rights
would be 2698 acre feet at a evapotranspiration loss of 28 inches
per year, leaving an available amount of water for the Sliding
Ditch of 76 acre.feet. This is in close agreement with the mini-
mum historic diversion of 61.04 acre feet for the year 1968 which
was not a drought year.
In summary, the drought year yield of water from Rights held
on the subject lands would be as foIlows.

tion of the physical capacity of the springs and the actual Court

Thus, the initial facilities would be sized to provide an

your letter of 0ctober 20, 1976,to. Mr. Garel will be in commu-
ques ti on s .
In our PUD submittal, dated August 30, 1976, we said that "phases of
employrnent will be developed within the Complex before or at the same
time as the start of development of the housing areas.rr In your letter
of 0ctober 20th you made the suggestion of a further definition which
would result 'in residential development being allowed after l5% (land
or jobs) of the Phase I industrial area has been developed and/or
conrnitted to be developed w'ithin a year. This further detailing of
when residential development will be allorved in the Complex is gen-
erally acceptable if it is understood that the owner has the right
to appear before the County and ask for a specific modification of
this restriction if it is found that a specific, desirable industry
wi'll only come into the Complex if housing is available there. Based
upon this sort of logic we would be willing to have the following
statement included as part of the Garfield County Airport Industrial
Park Compl ex PUD.
Empl oylent/Hous i ng
"It is the ownerrs intent to develop housing in numbers
equal to about 75% of the iobs generated during the first
two phases of the project. Furthermore, in order to

to take place with'in the Comp'lex only after 15% of estimated
Phase I jobs or Phase I office/'industrial acreage has been

developed within l2 months. It is understood that the owner
has the right to ask the County for a modification of this
provision if it is determined that a specific, desirable
industry will only come into the Complex if housing is
available in the Comp1ex."
II. OPEN SPACE REQUIRE}4ENT
You have noted that there are .l,610 acres of land in the total PUD. The
County requires 25% open space or 402.5 acres whereas we show 386 acres
of open space. However, approximately 2ll acres of the PUD is proposed
to be dedicated to the County for airport purposes. Therefore we believe
that the fairest way to calculate open space needs would be on the
acreage within the PUD after the proposed airport land has been sub-
tracted from the gross acreage.
If this approach is acceptable the required open space would be as
fol lows:
Total Gross Acreage:
(Less amount to be deeded to the County
for airport purposes):

part of the project. It'is our intention to keep this as close to its
natural state as possible and not use it for intensive recreation. 0n
the other hand we believe that there is more than enough land availablefor developed park purposes. Part of the l5 acre elementary s'ite will
be available for use as a developed park as would part of the junior
senior high school site if that becomes a reality. We also foresee
the likelihood that a portion of the Comrnunity Service area will be
developed as a park.
Perhaps more significantly, certain areas along the drainageways can
be developed for intensive park use. The drainageways will be designedto carry the estimated 100+ year storms while also having developed
paths for pedestrians and bicyclists. The drainageway cross sectionswill be designed to reduce erosion and vegetat'ion will be planted to
do the same. l4ost of the neighborhood parks will d'irectly abut the
drainageways so as to increase accessibility to the parks.
[.Ie have been remiss in not discussing with you our general conceptsfor the layout of the residential areas. It is our intent to set
aside park areas within the various residential areas. These areas
would consist of small (l to 4 acres) parks which would be reserved
and ultimately developed for the use of the residents of that particular
neighborhood. These neighborhood park areas would be in addition tothe permanent open space reserve, parkland and greenway areas shown
on the PUD p1an. These neighborhood parks have not been shown on the
PUD plan since their location will be the result of detailed design
studies leading to the platting of the various residential areas.
As you know the maximurn number of residential units has been calculated
by multiplying the proposed overall residential densities (2 DU/acre for
single family; +.5 DU/acre for multi fanrily and 5 DU/acre for mobile
homes) by the planned acreages. It has always been our thought that
the use of these residential densities within the various residential
neighborhoods will allow us the flexibility to provide park and open
space within the neighborhoods while still arriving at the allowedresidential density on a gross acreage basis.
IV. HOUSING MIX
Your understanding of our p.roposed housing mix

It is our intent to annex to the City of Rifle when that becomes feasible.In order to allow this to occur without having physical fit problerns withcity systems, it is our intent to develop the water and sewer systemsto City standards and specifications and to meet City right of way
requirements for all streets. upon receiving approval of the project
from the county we will plan to keep both you and the city of Rifle
infornred on key activities planned for the Complex. This communication
might best be handled by having formal briefing sessions with the City
and the County on a once a year basis with add'itional sessions held for
those activities which do not fit within this type of time schedule.
The Complex has been p]anned with the belief that the commerical facilitieswithin the existing city of Rifle should and will serve as the main
commercial center for the Complex. It has always been our intent notto develop a retail commercial area within the Cornplex which detracts
from the existing commercial facilities within Rifle. To that end we
have limited the retail commercial area to a maximum of 2 acres by the
end of Phase I and 5 acres at time of ultimate development. we havealso lim'ited the allowed uses to convenience commercial uses such as
"convenience grocery store, service station, drug store, laundromat,
and simiIar uses."
If you have any questions about any of this please call me. I look forwardto meeting with you at 4:00 p.m.,

Re: Rifle Airport Industrial Park Complex
Dear Mr. Witkowski:
This is to acknowledge receipt of a water augmentation plan for
the above referenced deveiopment. As requested, I have reviewed the
plan and the following comments are presented for your consideration:
1. This development is referred to as an industrial complex
but the report indicates that the primary water demand
will be from l09I dwelling units. If so, then the water
supply planning should be based upon supplying an ade-
quate and dependable domestic water supply as required
by the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations. There
has been no discussion on the dependability of the water
rights owned with respect to being in priority during
periods of below average precipitation.
2. The water supply plan for the proposed development is
based to a large degree upon utilizing the Crann Pipeline
for the fully decreed amount of 1.0 cfs year around. The
report indicates that it is diverted from springs but our
records indicate that it is diverted from Mann Creek which
has numerous water rights more senior than the Crann
Pipe1ine. The evaluation of this source of water is not
sufficient to indicate that it would always be in priority.
If it is from a spring source, this spring should be evalu-
ated for physical dependability.
SEP z 0 1916
GARFIEI"O
Mr. RobertA. Witkowski -2-Sept . 15 , 197 6
The remainder of the water supply is to be provided
by converting irrigation water rights into municipal
water rights. The report indicates that the Sliding
Ditch on Mann Creek would be utilized for this purpose.
The minimum flow of Mann Creek has not been evalu-
ated to indicate that the necessary flow is available
to this Ditch especially during a dry year.
Other aspects of the plan of augmentation appear
reasonable with the final determination subject to
the District Water Court in Glenwood Springs.
5. I would recommend that a Water District be formed to
operate and manage the water supply on behalf of the
residents of the development.
I trust that these comments are useful; and if I can be of further
service, please feel free to contact me.
truly yours,

Gent lemen :
This will inform you of our sale to Colorado-Ute ufectrB8t'{BJ8-'
ciation of the 4o-acre ttact outlined in red on the accompanying
maps. The proposed route of Colorado-Ute's new Rifle to Silt
transmission line is shown in orange. The enclosed letter from
them should be self-explanatory. I have asked Mr. Puckett to
have the Colorado-Ute planning consultant contact the County in
order that Colorado-Ute work will be coordinated with that being
done in connection with the airport.
IYe were pleased to receive word of the good reception given the
environmental impact statement for the airport expansion pIan.
It is our assumption that sometime around year end the Final
Environmental Impact Statement will be presented, allowing us
to proceed with further plans and submittals for the Airport
Industrj-al Park Complex.
As concerns the donation of airport expansion lands to the County,
we would hope that the Final Impact Statement can be finished and
approved in time to make possible this donation during L976. lTe
believe a final trlaralIeI runway concept providing expansion to
the fuII development potential here is the most desirable. The
area of land donated by us for a reduced or compromise plan would
necessarily be smaller. As such, land acquisition for fullest
development, if needed at some future time, could conceivably
be more difficult for the County.
In anticipation of the end of the waiting period resulting from
formulation and official approval of the Airport Master P1an,
the County Planner has been furnished new maps of the Airport
Industrial Park Complex. They incorporate Mr. Sundell's paralleI
runway concept and the change in the original airport expansion
atea.
It would seem appropriate that the County Attorn€yr a representative
of F.A.A. and our lawyer, Mr. George Petre, meet in order to explore
the best means for our land donation and the timing thereof.

Please find enclosed a copy of Rifle Land Associates, Ltd. pre-
liminary plat of the Garfield County Airport Industrial Park Comple>r with
a red pencil drawing of our proposed tie line location between the CoIo-
rado-Ute substation site south of Rifle and the LTSBR substation southwest
of Silt. The drawing is not a professional job (t drew it myself), but it
does show the easement width of 100'and its routing from our substationto Beech Avenue where it runs adjacent to Beech Avenue roughly from piper
Avenue to Douglas Avenue where it leaves your subdi.vision and crosses
onto the WaIl property.
While this sketch is obviously noia final routing, it is reasonably
close to the location we would like to follow unless you have any major
objections that we wilt be able to accommodate.
Please give me a call after you've had a chance to study the pro-
posed route. I look forward to hearing your comments and/or suggestions.
Very truly yours,g*ru&r

Dear Jim:
The foTTowing are points that I feel must be addressed before a
finaT decision is made bg the Countg on the request for PUD zoning. f
expect to trrut this item on the Planning Commission's reguTar agenda of
November 8th for discussion.
Some specific Tanguage and nun{bers must be deveToped to set up a
point where the deveToper and the Countg can expect residentiaT pTatting
to take pTace within Phase I- I feeT a minimum threshoTd of actual
residential- need shouTd be establ-ished which triggers residential
pTatting when equaTTed or surpassed. Part of the rationaLe behind ng
thinking is to avoid a sjtuation where the commitment bg a singTe
compang, or even severaT, who do not suppTg a Targe numbet of jobs,
xriggers substantial residentiaL subdivision which would probabTg
tore than fu7ti77 the actuaT need. Another reason for this minimum
amount of deveToped or soon-to-be deveToped industriaJ. uses deaTs
with the off-site impTications of this project. The approval of
residentiaT deveLopment in this project is keged to the need generated
bg industriaT development. Ang deveTopment is obviousTg going to have
a Tike effect upon the area as we77 as the subject's propertg.
Establishing some minimum threshold of industrial activitg ties future
Countg actions to this project's actions and assures a situation in
which the Countg couTd review future subdivision proposals in the
general- area with a better idea of tining.
Expressing this minimum amount of industrial activitg can be
expressed in empTogment, or actes of deveTopment. I am using the tetm
"industriaT activitg' to mean either compTeted construction ot pTanned
deveTopment which has been scheduTed for construction within a gear
after final pTatting. The combination of jobs/provided and jobs/imminent
wouTd trigger the residentiaT platting procedure. One method of setting
Mr. Jim Bowers
Page 2
t)te nuniber might be to cost out the minimum pubTic improvements needed
and estimate the number of residentiaT Tots that must be subdivided in
order to assure a feasible project. That nuniber could then be factored
up to provide the empTogment quota. ft seens; to me that a figute of
75Z of the totaT jobs anticipated for Phase I would be a reasonabTe
starting p7ace. Again, theg a77 wouTd not have to be existing, but
incLuded in a tight time frame in a finaT plat proceeding.
The comments made bg the Division of Water Resources concerning
the water rights to be used for a domestic water suppTg shouTd be
addressed. Questions concezning the dependabiTitg of phgsicaT suppTg
as we77 as the prioritg of those rights should be cTeared up before
the Countg can expect to make a zoning conrnitment. ?{hiLe I do not
feeT this means an actuaL court decree, much of the anaTgsis preceding
such an action night be necessarg. In ang eventt dfrg furthet conments
on the water situation wouTd be referred to the Division of Water
Resources fot their review.
The totaT amount of open space shown on the phase maps is 386 acres.
One minor ynint js this fal-Ls short of the 25% requirement in the PUD
zoning ordinance bg 76 acres. f reaTize tlnt the estirates of acreage
are rough considering the sca7e, but I think the minimum acreage shouTd
be shosn.
Anothet comment I have concerning the open space rel-ates to the
ground around the base of the majot eTevations shown as the pernanent
open space in the centet of the ptoject. bes the open space provided
a77ow fot amounts of gentle sTope around this area so that it, in effect,
is more usabTe? AlTowing a hi77side, which is basicaTTg undeveTopable,
for otrren space is certainTg acceptabTe if area around the base is aiso
incTuded. The hi77 then becomes, in mg opinion, much more TogicaT fot
open space/recreationaT purposes. As an exampTe of mg thinking,
wouTdn't that naturaT feature be note practicaT if some of the 30 acres
inmediatelg southeast of tJte tentative jr/sr high schooT site were
aTso shown as part of the open strnce? Another question concerning the
open s[Ece js the provision for future deveToped open sgx.ce or active
r*r@.tion areas within the PUD espxiaTTg kegd to the mobiTe home

OUTLINE OF POINTS OF DISCUSSION
A. GENERAL REGIONAL CONSIDEMTIONS
1. Does this or could this project represent the outer boundary of Rifle town
influence for the purposes of urban services or future annexation?
2. Is this a'logical activity center in the County if plans for the airport
are developed? Do the activities and development proposed in this PUD
make sense with respect to the airport?
3. Close cooperation should be considered with any project in this area with
the Town of Rifle concerning:
(a) General attitude of the Town.
(b) Standards to which public improvements
(c) Short and Iong - range arrangements for
sewer and water plant.
(d) Potential annexation - is it feasible,
with both parties?
(e) Disposition of water rights at the time

are installed.
operation of the

of future
(f) Standards to be followed in the development of the
mobi'le home park .
(S) Compatibility of proposed major streetswith any
approved major street plan for RifIe.
(h) Role of Rifle as the major retail trade center forthis development at least through initial development.
4. Existence of or probability of an employment base to justify a large rezoning
project.
B. SPECIFICS
l. Differences between the material supplied by Bowers & Associates and the
material supplied by the engineer, T.V. Garel concerning:
(a) Total residential units planned.
(b) Nature of the sewerage treatment sustem.
(c) Timing of the proposed phases.
2. Could the convenience commercial be delayed until Phase II or at least the
Iater stages of Phase I?
3. Points raised by the Division of Water Resources on the proposed water
rights and supply:
(a) Difference of opinion on water availability to the Crane
Pipeline -- the engineer for PUD states that the water
comes from springs, the Division states the water comes
from Mann Creek, the Division also says those rights arejunior to others in Mann Creek, Division also wants to
see an analysis of the physical dependibility of the
spri ngs .
(b) Is the minimum flow of Mann Creek sufficfent for the supply
counted on in the Sliding Ditch?
4. Are there any covenants proposed for this proiect at this time?
5. Is there a map showing development in the maximum phase?
6. Does the amount of water computed as
growth cover the amount that people

necessary in order to sustain lawn
usually use to actually water their
7.
8.
The plan states industrial employment sustains the residential development
How can we amange a timing sequence so that industrial development, or
its assurance, precedes residential platting?
What is the intention of the large segment of manufactured hous'ing? Is
half the development to be a mobile home park? If modulars are
contemplated there really isn't a need to differentiate them from
conventional housing as long as they meet the Uniform Building Code.If modulars are going to be developed, will they be at the same density
as the mobile home park? Some thought should be given to the cost/benefit
aspects of this development if one half of the deve'lopment is going to be
a mobile home park.
Explain the agricultural reserve concept and eventual conversion of this
land to other uses.
10. The .|00 year flood analysis for the major drainage ways on the property-
should be reviewed - prbbaUly by the Water Conservation Board - for their
accuracy and reasonableness.
ll. Is the open space shown on the plan logical and useable to the residential
development as planned?
12. Does RifIe Lands Associates own the two parcels shownas commercial directly
north of the airport proper?
