RE: Adrienne Crouch Property
Dear Fred:
Attached please find copies of correspondence tendered to the
Board of County Commissioners on April 20, 2009 from Adrienne
Crouch. I have also attached a copy of correspondence I tended t,o
the Board of County Commissioners last November regarding titleissues on the Crouctr property and County Road 1-62A. FinaIIy, I
have att,ached copies of notes recej-ved from the County Clerk'soffice, a'S such notes concern public hearings and not,ice t,o
Adrienne Crouch. A11 of these documenEs are tendered in order that
you may prepare for the May 4, 2009 meeting at whj-ch Ms. Crouch has
been invited to appear for further discussion of the issues setforth in her letter. At its meeting of April 20, 2009, t,he BOCC
reguest,ed that staff provide advice on both the legal and
substantive issues regarding County Road L52A immediately beforethe May 4Eh meeting. A number of the issues raised by Ms. Crouchrelate to proper completion of the subdivision improvements
agreement for Sun Mesa, documents that may be in your office in
conformance with a final plat, conduct of public hearings andnotice as it relates to those public hearings, and the status of
County Road 152A as it relates to access to the Sun Mesa PUD and
subdivisi-on.
I have requested that t,he County Surveyor and Pat,rick Burwell
from Commonwealth Tit,le be ready Eo discuss issues Ms. Crouch has
raised relative to work they performed. Many of the documents
requesEed by Ms. Crouch will be held in the building and planning
department files if they sEi11 exist. Additionally, all of the
meetings for which she claims a lack of notice were conducted byyour department as land development concerns.

Dear Commissioners,
County Road 162Ais still on my property. When will you be moving the road offof
My properly? There have never been road constnrction drawings or drainage drawings
assotiut"d with County Road 162A. This is a requirement of the Stirling SIA. In addition,
a title policy or chain of title wan never accompanied with the Henderson Stirling Plat ,
#44t4y'l,in November 1992.I did not join in on tht ptuL even though my property is in
the NENW 29,875,66 PM. I have never had notification of any of the Stirling
Subdivisions, including the Sun hrtesa SuMivision, the Henderson Stirling Subdivision,
the Ruth Stirting SuMivision, or the Stirling Ranch PUD, or the ResuMivisions of Lots
23 andRenrbdivisions of Lot 28. The notificdion of neighbors is required by Statute.
The title policy that I received over County Road l621^is not complete as the chain of
is not correct. See my recorded document . (Exhibit A). There are many
flawed statements in the review and the plat also shows land in Sectiou 20"7 E7-S-. - -
The Resolution of 1983 for Ruth R Stirting describes the plat in the planning
Departuent file. I have brougfut that plat with me today. This plat is not in compliance
with the State Statutes and shows the land by Co Rd 102. In addition, Ruth Stirling did
not receive the land from her divorce decroe fiom John Stirting rmtil Octob€r l983.The
Resolution was passed in September 1983. Again, no notification-
I believe Garfield County is ignoring the State Statutes as they relate to SuMivision
approvals and Notification. Anyone can plat land, as long as All of the included
landowners approve, and sign the plat before recording. All of the jurisdictions, whether
County or Crty ask for atitle commituent during the approval process, in orderto be sure
who owns the property and vfio should sign the plat. Also all encroactnne, ts must be
identified.
In summary, I am asking the county When are you moving the road offof my property?
When may I receive the Construction drawings of both l62[arrd l62,rcquired in
approval of the Stirling SIA?- When will the drainage problems be fixed on my properly?
When will you receive a complete chain of title required for Subdivision approval for the
Stirliry property?

RE: County Road L62A - Crouch challenge to title
Dear Commissioners:
Several months ?9o, at the direction of t,he Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) , L requested a Title Commitment from
commonwealth TiLle concerning the right,-of-way for county Road
L62A. you may recalI that one of the issues raised by Adrienne
Crouch and her representatives was a challenge to the title of the
right-of-way undJrlying County Road L62A. On September 2, 2008, I
finally received Lfrat Commitment, together with all of the
attachments related to the Schedule B exceptions. I have attached
a copy of that Commitment together with the documents supporLing
the Lxceptions. That Title Commitment related so1ely to that
portion 6f County Road L62A conveyed by .fohn and Ruth Stirling in
November of ],992. tfre Commitment focused directly on the easement
deeds transferring property, as executed by both of those parties,
to Garfield County-foi tha purpose of access and public uEitity
location.
County Road 1,62 north of County Road L62A was not the subject of
this ipecific Commitment. The northern portion of County Road 162
was th; subject of deeded right-of-way transfers and prescriptive
use claims, none of whj-ch directly involved the Crouch property or
property owners. The northern portion of County Road l-52 does not
ippl"r Lo be the subject of the Adrienne Crouch challenge.

Exception L2 concerning a potential overlap of parcels does raise
a pJtentially significant issue. For that purpose, I reguested
peimission to retain the services of Scott Aibner, Garfield County
Surveyor, ES suggested in the e-mail correspondence of Pat'rick
gurwell of Septeirber 2, 2OOB (see attached). Scott Aibner has now
complet.ed his work on this project, p11t_t1ng both descriptions tha!
,erl contained in the deeds trom Stirtings versus the potential
overlap as set forth in the exceptj-ons to title noted by Mr'
Burwe1l. The attached plat from Mr. Aibner demonstrates that there
is no overlap between the deeds, hence, ro title defect that would
be the subje-ct of exclusion L2 in schedule B. I have attached a
copy of ttr. Aj-bner's plat to this letter. You will note that Ehe
pf'al conLains other rLlevant informaEion, as we1,l as the plaEting
of the potentially conflicting deeds. County Road L62 is depicted
aS it crosses the Crouch property, showing the centerline of E'he
ancient road deed coinciAing to a significant degree with the
location of the current County Road L62 '
Exception 13 in Schedule B relates Eo an easement granted by HoIy
Cro=i Electric Association. While this transfer predates the deed
to the CounLy, the public utility easement and the road right-of-
way are not mutualiy excl-usive. Rather, it is common for bot'h
prlfi" utilitie" "rrd public roads to exist within the same righg-
of -way.
Board of CountY Commissioners

Excepti-on L4 was not the subject of research by the County
Survlyor, although that can be lccomplished if the BOCC desires'
Neither Mr. Burwell's nor my view of this easement appears to
indicate thaE it would preclude the location of the entirety of
County Road L62A. This easement was first established through a
19g3 ixemption. The easement commences at the southern terminus of
County ndad !62A, at the point where it now enters the Sun Mesa
pUD. From that point iC extends in a northeasterly direction
across private property to a parcel located some di-stance to the
east of County-nola {eZX. (A graphic depiction.,of the subject
easement is contained in Ehe elanning Department files for the RuEh
Stirling Exemption-Resolution 83-301 and the Henderson/Stirting
Uxemption-Resolution '92-103. ) This easement does noE appear to
impait Crouch property. However, further platting may be
desirable.
Exception 15 concerns a

Finally, exceptions l-5 and L'7 involve the conditions of approval
for the Henderson/Stirting Exemption Plat (ResolutLon 92-103). The
exemption was finalized and rec-orded at the same time the Stirling
deeds were recorded for the benefit of the county. The Title
Commitment does not indicate that any parcels authorized by the
Henderson/Stirling exemption were conveyed and recorded prior to
ttre conveyance "td t""ofaitg of conveyance of the right-of-way for
County nola LG2A. Theretoie, n'one of the platted information or
condilions set forth in the resolution of approval should affect
t,itle conveyed to the County. Even if such transfer of a parcel
had occurred and been recorded prior to conveyance to the County'
none of the conditions of the resolution, Iega] descriptions or
platting appear to be inconsistent with the right-of-way
conveyance. However, additional platting of the information in the
.*.*plion plat can be accomplished if the BOCC so desires'
In summary, the Title commitment of commonwealth Tit,Ie, together
with tfre pfatting of the potentially conflicting deeds by Scott
Aibner, appear to inaicat,e that t,he exceptions to title do not
affect thA interest held by t,he County. As indicated above'
through an abundance of ciution, the BOCC may wish to have
additional work accomplished by the County Surveyor' Wit'h the
unlikely prospect thaCthe surveyor will find information damaging

Re: Re'Plat of Stirling Ranch, Lot 23
Dear Fred:
I have been assisting Becky Stirling with regard to your request tJr,at-Lot 23 be re-platted
to reflect the as-Uuili torutlo, of
-Skipperbtiut. In reviewing the draft pl$ I note that there
;;; to be a ""*f"r orplat notes wiicu in my opinion are not applicable. It is the developer's
intent to merely have Loi23 continue to be bound uy tt. existing plat notes 9n the 2002 plat as
;;ii-;;G-.*irtiog c*r"*tr. I think this can be accomplished by merely incorporating these
prior conditions by reference. Assuming suchis done, Id-onot perceive that there are any unique
'pi.i not., that woudl, n"r.sury on tni re-plat of Lot 23. Nonetheless, in order that you might
review the plat notes that we propose to delete, the enclosed application includes all of the plat
uotes that were included on the Lot 28 re-plat. We would propose to delete all but notes I atdZ'
please let me r."* yo* thoughts. we are anxious to finalize this process as soon as possible
and in advance of the expirati6n of the preliminary plan approval for the re-subdivision of Lot
28. Your prompt attention would be appreciated'

road location, this is an extension of Schooner Lane, Becky's house is way up here, looking
down on Catherine's Store - concern of commercial activity; also her concern over the showing
ofhorses, trailers, and concerns regarding traffic.
Mark Hamilton - spoke on the concerns of "o*-.rcial activity saying that th-ere is only one thing
and that is a spa foi ttre enjoyment of guests - certain home occupations.similar_to Garfield

proof of non use can be seen onj old Aerial photographs

The fact is that an "Easement is be3t Described as a non

Surveyor would recommend that thls Right-of-way servitude can be
abolished by a simple Property Boundary.Agreement, Colorado

size of the Property, as an Easement is only a Right to use the

Ihere is an example form of the Boundary Line Agreement attached.

The second part of the Boundary line Agreement correction
operation would be for the County to Abandon the Roadway Right-
of-way Easement that was just established. ?his Surveyor feels
that as the 1913 Road Right-of-way has not being used, this
servitude should be t.erminated.
The Crouch Exemption Plat is the next item that will be
addressed

2. Surveyor was informed that the approved Crouch
Exemption Pfat was deti-vered to Garfield County for the
County Signing and Recording.
3. Surveyor has not found a letter that noti-fies the
Applilant that the County approval time was concluded.

recorded Docutent for access across'the Crouch Property for said
Lot 2\. The County has no Documented r1'birt to the Crouch

location of the Roaiway refered to as GarfieLd County Road- 162 in
a Condemnation Action ?or a Roadway northerly of the Crouch
;;;;;;.-'-siiri"ra county require& sun Mesa P'u'D' to provide

Deielopment. This access Roadway Joins the Crouch Property al9nS
1ts easteri-y Boundary and parall-els the permlssive access within
the Crouch iroperty. The Sun Mesa P.U.D. should have been
reguired to pr-ovid-e access to the Lot 21 on their own Property
per the CountY Code.
The crouch Exemption, Amended P1at. This Docunent in surveyorrs
opinion does not exist for the following:
1. The whole Crouch Exemption, Amended process ' The '' '{'" r
vacation, Property exchange does not meeL the County,
Land division Code. .i
2. This Document Amends a DoCument that does not exist.
3. The description Anendments are so poorly written they- could be voidabfe.
4, The Plat shows a Parcel as being a Road, which is a
ari""*iv, and perm5-ssive access to a adjoining parcel.
5. The County Vacated the crouch driveway which they had
no owaership rights.
6. Garfield County Deeded the Vacated driveway to Ms'
Crouch in exchange for Property she_Owned'
7. The Quit C1alm Deed, Reception No. 615837 from Ms
Crouch to the Board of Commissioners of Garfield
County, Colorado could be voidable for the lack of
specific location of the Property.
The procedure of correcting the CrOuch Exemptionr and Crouch
trxempti-on, Amended Documents. This Surveyor's Professional
opinlon is that a new Crouch Exemption Correction Docurnent is
rlquired. This Plat will need to correctly divide the Property
info the needed parcels and those permitted under the County
Code. Before Lhe correctlon Plat can be Created the other errors
with the Property must be unden taken. The Correction Plat will
be the last part of the correction process-
The correcLion of the Sun Mesa P.U.D. Public access Road. This
feature is another mul-tj- facet.ed problem that was required before
the approval of the P.U.D. The first problem is the encroachment
on the crouch Property. This was discussed earLier in this
paper.

The improper Burdening of the Crouch Property for access to
another Developinq Property.
This shou.Ld never of happened if the checking Party was
doing their job. The Developer should be reguired to
provide access on the development Property.
5. The Crouch Exemption, Crouch Exemption, Amended Docu:nents.
Surveyor feel-s the correct way is to develop a Crouch
Exemption Correction Plat. This can not be started until
the Road Problems have been corrected. There is also the
problem the people revj-ewing the Correction Plat rnay be the
same people that caused the problems in the first p1ace.
6. The Sun Mesa P.U.D. Access Road construction.
Here again the Party should be identified and have the
problem corrected.
These Problems need to be corrected as they will show Lhere heads
again and will be harder to correct. I don't want to point a

Authorize Chair Pro Tem to Sign Letter to Adrienne Crouch
This was disclssed in Executive Session. No public action taken.
o ResolutionJor Crouch Title Problems - Ms. M. Adrienne Crouch
Louis Buettner and Adrienne Crouch were present.
This should have been Louis Buettner addressing title not Adrienne Crouch
Louis identified 7 major problems and they basically go to legal matters. Last November
he tried to speak to the Commissioners since the County Attorneys were involved.
First item - informed to come up with a solution, so the first is to an old road right of way
dedicated in 1913. The document itself isn't real clear if it is an easement or a fee title.
The County has been taxing this property with this right of way included in it the
property, so I assume it is an easement. I would put forth that Ms. Crouch and the County
enter into a boundary agreement to settle where that road is - the road basically can't be
found because the monumentation that the road is tied to has been lost in the last 120
years. The present day monumentation that is in the field, the record on how it was
established has not been supplied to me, I requested that information this from the
County Surveyor and I have received no reply. I can only assume there is no record of
how that monument for the section corner was established. There is a great deal of
evidence that the monument can be anywhere from 70 to 200 feet off - the 70 feet is
based on lot line adjustments that have been made in the area and the 200 feet offis based
on the theory that a found road in the area crossing the Crouch property is the old road
but it is not conclusive evidence. That would put that section corner 200 feet off. Another
problem that I have identified is when the Sun Mesa PUD and the Stiring Ranch PUD,
the required roadway for them was acquired, the Lot2l of Sun Mesa, the entrance to that
lot to. the public road was burdened across the Crouch property. The County required Sun
Mesa and Stiring both where a county road to their property that is identified currently as
l62A.It joins the Crouch property on the east and the construction of that road was
supposed to be designed and engineered and constructed in the field; the design and
engineering of that road, the constriction of that road now floods the Crouch property.
Plus at the SE corner of the Crouch property the road was constructed on the Crouch
property. In 2003 this problem was brought forth to the County, the Board here, it is on
the Minutes page 193. The County Surveyor was instructed to verify the item of
encroachment and he did go out and he located the road on the property. 2003 to now no
action has been taken to remove that road from the property. The construction of the road
on the property, flooding of the propert/, I think is items that are County now as the road
was supposed to be constructed and accepted by the County before the subdivisions or
the PUD were approved for recording. Well, they are selling properties up there now so it
must be on, but now the road is still on the property and there's still problems there. The
last two items I have identified was the Crouch exemption and the Crouch exemption
amended. The Crouch exemption was never recorded there was no public notice of that
exemption plat. In 2002the Crouch exemption amended was recorded. Part of that
process was the County would vacate a section of road in front of the Crouch house
which was her driveway. I have not found any dedication of a road across her property
that the County labeled 162 and I believe they were probably misled by Ms. Crouch. Her
surveyor who labeled her driveway in front of her house as being 162 Road. I requested
information about the 162 Road and Road & Bridge was unable to supply me with said
information. The Crouch exemption, the vacation description, basically all description are
supposed to for a geometric closed figure - in other wise a four (4) sided property should
close four (4) sided.. That property description does not close by 10 feet. That land that
was vacated by the Coun{y was then deeded back to Ms. Crouch in exchange for a
transition from 1624 to her driveway. That description does not form a closed geometric
figure by some 40 feet. I think that those two descriptions discrepancies help us but at the
present time I'm not going to address either the exemption or the amended exemption
because the other five items I think I have to have information on and agreement and
elimination if possible before I tackle the re-division of the property. I have prepared a
short summary including a boundary agreement that I will give you and as I say, I tried to
start this last November. I was diverted the last meeting I had with the County offrcial
was real quick, "is that what you want to know - that's a legal question - we can
terminate right now" thank you, boom - that was it. No cooperation whatsoever. As I say
I have prepared a short symposia of all these problems and I will give that to you right
now. Do you have any questions?
Commissioner Houpi-i t rro* that you've been in contact with our staff and so my
questions would be geared toward them as to whether or not there's a response, some
understanding of where we are in the process of some of the issues that have been raised
Louis Buettner - a boundary agreeme-nt shouldn't require staffother than to saythey
don't know where that is. This has - they could say right now, we don't know where the
1913 road is, your County Surveyor should be able to say we do not know if that County
Surveyor's monument, that section comer is where it's supposed to be. So the thing is
Ms. Crouch would like to do something with her property and she can't do anything with
her property until these problems are straightened out. I have contracted 2 of fhe
Commissioners and I have received no response from them as to setting up a meeting one
on one so as to clear up all their questions.
Commissioner Houpt - the responr. *ur to talk to staff in order to better understand what
is going on with this piece of property.
Louis Buettner - going on for years.
Commissioner Houptl l know, I have copies of letters and understand he is frustrated.
Louis Buetfirer - any staff should be able to give you a quick reply by writing or verbal.
He asked for a response by next Monday to the first 5 items he's addressed.
Commissioner McCown - no.
Louis Buetfirer - when may I have a reply?
Commissioner McCown - when staffhas research and get the information backto us.
Commissioner Houpt - request stafffollow up on cutrent and as soon as a packet is
together back to he Board and make a determination.
Louis Buettrer -2003 - the County surveyor prepared a map and presumes he gave it to
you and it shows an encroachment and it is still there. Four years later the encroachment
is still there. What type of inspection there was performed on the road or what the plans
for - been unable to locate any plans for the construction of the road but the property is
being flooded and erosion is taking place - 4 years of erosion that is not required for my
client to suffer. I would like to see a red flag put on this so your staffwill immediately
repay - we have bent over backwards - we have been instructed by a lawyer to go out
and fence off the Crouch and if necessary put a big boulder out there - this I think would
be reckless endangerment and I have talked to Ms. Crouch and said don't do that but if
it's necessary, legal counsel has told u to do that.
Commissioner Houpt - understands he is very frustrated and can see the outline of issues.
Louis Buethrer - has one more document and it includes a boundary agreement - it's a
legal document.
Commissioner Houpt - we'll give it to the County Afforney.
Commissioner McCown - the County Surveyor is not a staffperson and does not work
for us per se and we do not have the ability to direct him to do anything. If there is a need
we can hire a private surveyor but what we need from you is a brief summary atthe end
of the day and at the end of this process what are you wanting.
Louis Buettner - a brief summary - I would like the 1913 road to be abandoned and
before we can abandon it we must agree on where it is. I would like to have the record
documents that the state statutes 1973 and 1963 require to be on record and either the
County Surveyor's office or with the County Clerk if there is no County Surveyor's
office; the Garfield County Surveyor section corner 1920,1929 and 1930. Can't address
exemption plat - it was never recorded - I have documentation that states that the
exception plat was signed and delivered to the County. That's the last time that we have
any record of that plat. It was never recorded. The exemption amended plat - title doesn't
mean anything -I don't know if it's truly amended to the exemption or if that was
recorded or not but the land transfers made by that plat, permitted by that plat voidable.
The Sun Mesa burden on the Crouch property for access Lot2l should never have
happened, from reading the code -thut uti p-p.rties are to have public access .. I have
mffiy, many responses where the Coturty doesn't know where 162 is and in fact I have a
letter between a lawyer and her client talking about 162being600 feet or more from the
east line of the Crouch property. The construction on the road into Sun Mesa and the
Stiring PUD's has been before the Board in 2003 - no response. The construction is such
that it floods and causes erosion on the Crouch property - those are the 7 items that I
have identified and they are on this summary information that I have once more.
Commissioner Houpt - appreciate Louis putting that together again and asked for copies.
Louis - left for all three copies for the BOCC.
Commissioner Houpt - we-will have staff will move forwards and we will respond to you
r me and he's correct, thisAdrianne Crouch - Louis Buetfirer has done a lot of work fo
has been in front of the Board many many times without a response - the County since
1989, 1990,1992,1994 -many many proceedings but the bottom line spent is I've spend
l0's of thousands of dollars responding to the requests that the County has asked me for
multiple times have asked me for my title policy, the bottom line is there's a cloud on my
title; ihe only exception from my families property is a 1913 road and 1899 road. We're
not going inio a loi of detait toaay because we have requested in writing the 1899 road
because that's also an exception on the property of my families, my two brothers and
myself being the heirs of our parents and I think also I would like to come back next
Monday and discuss the chronology order of everything that has happed on my 35 plus
acres.
Commissioner Houpt asked Andrianne if she would like to do this after the response.
Andrianne - I might have a legal response too. My request is that you ask my neighbors
and we all know who those are since you?ve asked me many times, to come up with a
title policy on their own property. Just the letters I have here are very significant since I
came 3 years ago and was working with the people that my family had purchased the
property from up in Missouri Heights in August l982,that attorney has provided me with
all of the closing documents that my family did with that law firm, title policies, research
and very significant documents to my neighbors essentially say "please have these quit
claim deeds signed because you don't own the properties so get the people that do to sign
the documents and that went a week, that went between the time my parents signed a
contract for the land and the title company sending the letters out saying please have
these quit claim deeds responded because youove signed things that you don't own the
land to. So I don't want to go lnto any more detail but please ask my neighbors for the
same information you've asked me for many many times that I have provided.
Commissioner Houpt - let's work on clearing yours up and take it from there.
Louis Buettner - ori problem that I have co*i a"rosJin my researching this property -
is like the 1899 road - the map of that road is missing from the vault and we have been
unable to set down and go fiche by fiche to find the fiche because I don't think the fiche
is in the files either. Adrianne - and the title policy that my family has is the 1899 road,
number 22185.I've been working with the title companies but things are really messy.

PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS NOT ON THE AGENDA
Adrienne Crouch - Louis Buettner -, I'm representing Adrienne Crouch on Missouri
Heights. I just stopped by to someone continue last Monday's conversation basically
*oJd like to know if anything has happened and if there somebody you'd like me to
contract so I may stay in the loop and know what's going on.
Chairman Martin - all right. Asked the other Commissioners what the direction was last
week because I was gone.
Commissioner Houpt - staff can respond.
Don DeFord - I had a meeting last week as did Fred with Scott Aibner and I need to
discuss this in Executive Session so I can get somo direction from the Board. I anticipate
that as a result of direction from the Board there will be further correspondence frorn the
County Sgrveyor hopefully further responses from him. I think we're probably talking
the first meeting in June which I.thinkls June 4th before we get a firm commitment from
the County Surveyor on cost and time.
Chairman Martin - anyone Mr. Buettner needs to have conversation with or is his still in
the waiting pattern.
Don DeFord - from my prespective - no - I think it might be helpful once the Board
resolves where you want to go with the County Surveyor you may copy want to make a
judgment to copy Ms. Crouch and Mr. Buettner on corespondence between you and the
Surveyor, that way they're kept current on what's going on.
Chairman Martin - we'll have a better idea and be able to contacl you after our Executive
Session today, Mr. Buettner.
Louis Buettner - okay - some information - the County Surveyor's drawing on this
property and encroachment was made July 10, 2003. So he should hav-e that on file and
there shouldn't be more than a $5.00 charge or something like that for a print if need be. I
think the first step that the Commission can do with the shortest amount of effort is
conect the encroachment on the road. They've known about this since 2003, there should
be complete files on it and it should be very readily correctable.
Chairman Martin - well, we'll discuss this in executive session and make our adjustments
were we need to Mr. Buettner. That's the best I can do and we'll have the outcome of that
and get the direction or give direction and then we can contact you on you need you need
to talk to or what's going to happen within the next couple of weeks.
Louis - well, like this encroachment it has gone on for almost 4 years now and I do want
to stay in the loop and so we can persecute this to a finish.
Chairman Martin - very good - let's hope that we can.

PUBLIC COMIV1ENTS FROM CITIZENS NOT ON THE AGENDA
Adrienne Crouch
Louis Buettner - representing Adrienne Crouch up on Missouri Heights still. Three.short
items and I'11 be out of your hair: you think are aware of what the questions are that I
have and wish to ask have you come to any conclusions as to the roads and such.
Chairman Martin - I do believe that the petition on the roads were being gathered, I
haven't had a report back from the legal department - I think that had been accomplished
last week but I don't have a report, my County Attomey is not present, so I don't have a
report on that right at the moment.
Louis Buettner - that leads to the second question I have - have you delegated anybody
that I may contact so I won't be coming down here bothering you each week.
Chairman Martin - yes, Fred Jarman at the Planning Department and Don DeFord of the
legal department.
Louis Buettner - is there one that I should contact preferred there?
Chairman Martin - I would say Don DeFord - 945-9150.
Louis Buettner - okay now, the 3'd item - two weeks ago a letter to Adrienne Crouch was
okayed for signing and sending. I believe that letter had something to do with the
research that we were doing on the roads. For your information that letter has not been
received yet.
Chairman Martin - all right. What's the Board - I was gone two weeks ago.
Commissioner Houpt - I don?t we approved sending it because we had the discussion that
changed the nature of the letter.
Commissioner McCown - it was not authorized.
Louis Buettner - okay. That's the reason it hasn't been received.
Chairman Martin - that's probably because they were waiting for the research to be
finished and I believe was told it was finished Friday last week at least on two petition
roads that you had questions on.
Louis Buettrner - yos, those roads, if that is the letter that I'm talking about is pertinent to
the research in the whole area for locating things.
Chairman Martin - that was definitely discussed last week in reference to the section
corner and the monument. So,...
Commissioner Houpt - and Don is not in town today, so if you do want to contact staff.
Louis Buettner - in my research I have researched a lot of material and it goes back into
archiying and such as that such as the 1963 Statutes, the 1953 Statutes which both pertain
to the particutar section corner that we're discussing.
Chairman Martin - we wish it were real simple but it isn't - it's very convoluted
Louis Beuttner - I know it's not simple and the longer it sits the harder it gets to correct.
Chairman Martin- absolutely.

RE: Reguest for Land Division Exemption
In the Subdivision Regrulations of Garfield County, Colorado, perthe 2004 Amendment, Section 8-10. The Board of County
conmissi.oners has the discretionary power to exempt a dlvision ofland from the definition of subdivision and., thereby, from theprocedures in the Reg:ulations.
f am currently, as you know, trying to clear up the titleproblems with the Crouch property on Missouri Heights. Due tothe unigue problems created by the private sector and County *'staff, 1 am reguesting an exemption from the county r,and oivisibnRequlations, In reading -the Regulations f have not found anyprocedures for comecting the probJ-ems that cloud the crouchproperty. The granting of an exemption in this case wirr aide inprovj-ding reasonable solutions to the problems. This exemptionwill not impair or defeat the objectives of the Land DivislonRegulations and will not be detrimental to the general publicwelfare.
r would like to point out that the property in guestion has beenreviewed on at least two prior occasions. The need for thecounty staff to review the correction plat will not be required.r presented the Board wlth a document today to correct one of the?itle problems. rhe future correction submlssion will be in theform of a Property correction p1at. Thls plat and any docunents,even with the Exemptj.on from the Land Divislon Regulations, will
come to the County Board for a f,ina1 review and approval.
There is one problem that is not going to be covered by thecorrectj-on Prat and that is the county Road located on the crouchproperty. This is a separate issue and is going to be treatedin that manner.
I would appreciate a promptthe Exemption from the Land

July 6, 2007
At the meeting of July 2,2007, the Board of county
Commissioners (*BOCC") of Garfield County, Colorado, asked t'hat I
write to you in order to provide an update concerning its
investigation of certain claims presented by you or your
representatives. Pursuant to correspondence of the BOCC dated June
B, 2007, the County Surveyor and Commonwealth Title have been
requested to provide certai-n information to the BOCC in order that
they may proceed in consideration of the issues you and your
representatives presented. At this ti-me, they have received a
reiponse from Commonwealth Title. On June 22, 2007,, Dean Hubbell
of Commonwealth Title, rendered a written opinion concerning your
property as follows: "It is my opinion that the property is
current.ly vested in Martha Adrienne Crouch subject to pri-or mineral
reservations and conveyances to the County."
From his title work, Mr. Hubbell discovered a 1913 conveyance
to the Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County, Colorado
by George Blue for road or right-of-way purposes. Additionally, he
discovered the conveyance from yourseJ-f to Garfield Cgunty, al-so
for road and right-of-way purposes. There are no other conveyances
to Garfiel-d County in your chain of tit1e. I have attached a copy
of the 1913 Deed to Board of County Commissioners of Garfield
County, Colorado, as well as the plat of the subject roadway. That
Deed combj-ned with the plat on file with the Clerk appears to
establish a County right-of-way firmly and completely, absent
vacation of that road. The only vacation of record, appears to be
the smal1 portions of the right-of-way vacated in 2002 for your
benefit and at your request and accomplished at the same time.
That property was conveyed by you to the County to relocate the
County Road. Therefore, tfre deeaed, surveyed and platted roadway
Adrfenne Crouch
JuIy 6, 200?
Page 2
continues to exiSt. As SuCh, this roadway encumberS your property
with a right-of-way in the nature of an easement, as described and
platted. At this time, the BOCC has not directed that the County
Srrrreyor establish t.he course and location of this road and right-
of-way on your property
In earl-ier correspondence, you and Mr. Buettner have referred
t.o a document recorded at. Reception No. 22185 . Furt.her research by
this office and the Office of the Garfield County Clerk and
Recorder revealed that document is recorded in the County Road
Books. A copy of that document is. attached hereto. You will- note
from the commenLs set forth on that document, the Clerk and
Recorder's Office has been unable to find the plat of the roadway
set forth in that report. Nevertheless, the general description of
the property that is taken from private owners for the benefit of
this road appears to locate this road substantially to the north of
your property. Therefore, it does not appear that the roadway
established under this road viewers report is one that would
encumber your interests.
The t.itIe work by Mr. Hubbel1 also indicated that a plat map
was recorded in your chain of title on December 2, 2002. Although
not described in his research, f believe that plat map is the
Amended Exemption Pl-at for the Crouch Exemption. That document was
prepared by your representatives, filed with your signature and was
premlsed upon your request to split your property based on the
existence and location of County Road L62. In substantial part,
the location of County Road L62, as you represented on that
recorded pIat, coincides to a remarkable degree to the location of
the County Road described and platted in 1913. In the southern
portion of your property, the road that you portray as a County
Road on the exemption plat diverges from the described and platted
1913 County Road and exits your property at its southern boundary.
The title work from Mr. Hubbell- did not reveal a deed or other
dedication document for that portion of County Road L62t that
digresses from the 1913 description in the southern extremity of
your property. However, that portion of the roadway that you
iep.esented as County Road 152, appears to have been used for many
years as a public road providing access to property at your
southern boundary. To the extent there j-s a divergence between the
existing road and the described and platted 1913 road, it would
appear that there may be two lega11y existing right-of-ways across
your property. However, the BOCC has not rendered an opinion on
that question. Therefore, I cannot make a concl-usive statement in
regard to the current existence of either road. To the extent that
you *ay wish to terminate the County's interest in a road right-of-

Re: Crouch Property Sunrey Update
Dear Commissioners,
I arr writing in response to your letter of August 8,2007 requesting a meeting and report conerrning my
findings on Cormty Roads 162 arrd 1624.
Attached please find the drawing exhibit I prepared based on information of record and an on site field survey.
As you will see, existing County Road 162 falls within the 60 foot rieht of way as described on the Crouch
Exemption, Amended Plat. Cormty Road l62Llays within the 60 foot right of way as describd in book 848 at
pge23 except for a portion which enqroaches into the Southeast cofller of Lot 2 of the above melrtioned
-Crouch Exemption, Amended plat. This encroachment is also indicated on the boundary exhibit I prepared on
Jtlly 7,2W3.
The E>rhibit also indicates the *1913 Road' as it is deseribed on a County Road Mry of a road from Catherine
to tlanis Mesa and in Book 86 at Page 222. lbelieve the *1913 Road" and County Road 162 through the
Crouch property se one and the sarne.
ResolutionNo. 02-104 vacating aportion of County Road l62rightof way and Quitclaim Deed book 1412,
pge 974 granting right of way both have mathematical errors. A single line segment within each of the
descriptions has an erroneous bearing call. These erors occtu in the Exe,mption Plat descriptions as well;
however these parcels are shown graphically correct on the plat.
Even thorrgh these parcels don't close mathematically, I believe the intent is clear and these issues can be
cleared W with corrwtion d€eds.

RE: Ms Crouch ProPertY
Mr. Martin
In the progress of correcting the Crouch title problems with the
County,-I iould like to address the 1913 Road dedication. During
the past months there has been much conversation about this Road.
the itoadway was created by a Deed 1n October L9L3- Ms. Crouch
does not dispute the existence of the Roadway dedication. The
questions about the Roadway are follows:

2. What is the true location of the strip of land
described?
3. What is the need for this Roadway now?
The first point to address is: what is created by the Deed? -Thepresent Boird of Commissioners are the successors in Office for
tne titte. With this conveyance guestion, the Board should
decide the type of conveYance.
I found the following information during my survey research for
this Property. When it comes to Surveyinq the Surveyor has a

regarding: til

difficutty of providing ptooi of ownership for the lot., and (4) the
relative simplicity of providing prooi of ownership for the
multiple parcels, within thl lot, "po" which facilities under land
use rLview are located'
r understand from your Eebruary 4, 2008 "foIIow-up" e-mail
that you are not in a p6sif:-o' to piovide a sworn Declaration of
r.good title,, to the Iot. Can you, instead, formalize that e mail
on chevron let.terhead and aI1-ow t'he letter to be a part of the
current 25-CV application and future Garfield County petmit
application pack.t= rir"d by chevron and its surface tenants? As we
have discussed, proof of owiership is usually based u-pon a recorded

once completed, and updated in a timely manner by local
Chevron repre;entat. j-ves to show changes j-n mineral and surface
notations, the packet could be copied for each Chevron application
and the applicaiions of Chevron'J surface tenants, such as PDC and
Marathon. u".Jr.s" Eo sdy, the frequency wit.h which Garfield
county, s real estate records are checked for changes in ownership
and the method by which Chevron disseminates updated information to
surface tenants are matters of internal- corporate policy' However'
as you know, before the hearing is opened_ the attorney for the Bocc
asks the applicant when the County'i real estate records were last
checked. Title policies more than one year old at tl9 t:tme 9f
hearing have neen deemed inadequate to prove up ownership in the
applicant l-and owner. Noticing information, n9t updated within
three (3)months of a hearing, hal been deemed inadequate to confer
jurisdiction and aIlo, op".,1t,g of a quasi-judicial hearing before
the BOCC.

"Conf1ict of' laws'i issue discussed in your November 13' 2001
letter. I did not mean to infer that CUSA's mergers in Delaware
and Pennsylvania were subject to colorado 1aw, only that cusA iS
subject. to the Secretary oi State's filing requirements for foreign
corporations, detailed in the colorado corporations and
Associations Act, (Ti-t1e '7 , Article 90, Part 800) and to the
requirements of cotorado's conveyancing statutes in Title 38 ' Such
statutesr ds you know, deal- with evidence of entlty existence and
authority to affect title to real property'
I referred to s38-30-l-44 in my letter to EnCana, dated June'
2OO7""a-"opi.Ot.oChevroninAugustofOT'sincewritingthat
letter, I fra.re been unable to disiern the meanj-ng of the 538-30-
1,44(3) (h), statutory requirement that foreign corporations record
a "Certif icate of autfrotity" in t.he Cterk and Recorder' s records '
As it turns out, the Secietary of State does not issue such a
certificate. The document showing authority to do business in
colorado, under current law, is the corporation's "application for
authority.,stamped by the secretary of state as "fj-led" / *acc-ep!:9"
by the sos. I have spoken with local corporate attorneys and title
piofessionals who also find t.he statutory requirement'unintettigible. The practice, despite the language of the statute'
seems to be to record a "statement of Authority" (538-30-172) if and
when needed, and, otherwise, to do what chevron has done, i'€.,
file the *foreign" certificate (s) of Merger to show chevron as the
surviving entit-y and thus "record" owner of the real estate '
