Sawyer mjs tr!.mountainlawfinn.com RECEIVED NOV 1 8 2010 GARFIELU COUNTY BUILDING & PLANNING The County's final conditions for approval of the Seaton Subdivision include treatment of noxious weeds and installation of a Knox Box on the access gate. As stated in previous correspondence with the County, the Seatons are fully willing to meet these conditions. However, the on -the -ground conditions have made this work impossible until Spring, 2011. Therefore, the Seatons propose to treat the weeds on the property and install a Knox Box no later June 30, 2011. The Seatons will provide the County evidence of weed treatment and installation of the Knox. Box by that time. This will allow the final County approvals for the subdivision to take place without delay. Thank you for your assistance on this matter and feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

We have summarized the pump test data and water quality results below. The well pumped continuously at a rate of 7.95 gpm for a 24 hour period. The well is situated in the NW1h of the SW'fd of Section 3, Township 7 South, Range 89 West of the 6th P.M. Refer to Figure 4 to see the approximate location of the well. A copy of the well permit no. 68933-F is attached. The permanent well permit is a fee well permit supported by a West Divide Contract. The proposed contract uses were for 4 EQR using 350 gallons per day (gpd), 6 livestock units and the irrigation of up to one acre. Welt Drilling The well was constructed June 30, 1974 at a total depth of 45 feet by Collins Drilling. The well was drilled through clays, boulder, sand and gravel. The Seaton Well was drilled with 6 inch steel casing to a total of 45 feet. The perforated well casing that prevents debris from entering the well casing was set from 32 feet to 45 feet and the steel casing pulled back to 35 feet. Pump Test The static water level prior to the pump test was approximately 6 feet below the top of the well casing. The existing pump was set at 40 feet. This set up allowed for a maximum drawdown of approximately 34 feet (40 minus 6). The pump test began at 12:21 on July 7, 2010 and pumping ended at 12:51 on July 8, 2010 to complete the 24 hour pump period. The test was started at a pumping rate of 7.95 gallons per minute (gpm). The well continued to pump at the 7.95 gpm rate until it was shut off at 1470 minutes. A total of 11695 gallons were pumped over the 24 hour test. Before the test began, a pressure transducer was placed in the Seaton Well. The transducer measured the water level in the well every minute for the duration of the test. The well was tested manually using well sounding equipment to verify the electronic data. The water level curve is shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. After 24 hours of continuous pumping, the pump was shut off and the well was allowed time to recover. During the recovery period, water levels were monitored by the transducer placed in the well. The recovery is shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. The plots of the recovery data show that the water level returned to near static levels within 24 hours. Based on these plots, it can be determined that the water level in the well recovered normally. We believe that the long term yield of the well is likely the 7.95 gpm pumped during the 24 hour pumping test. It may be necessary to have some on-site storage to meet peak demands. A storage tank could also be used to meet residential fire sprinkler demands of the proposed two single family residences, if required. We believe that the well is physically adequate for the purposes shown in the water use estimated for the West Divide Contract attached. The peak month of July would divert 0.65 AF or 4.7 gpm. The pump test was conducted simultaneously while supplying the minimal needs of the residences, which represents the short duration anomalies on the pumping curves. Water Quality Water quality samples were collected and sent to ACZ Analytical Laboratory in Steamboat Springs, Colorado on July 6, 2010. The results of the analysis are pending.. A copy of the negative (passed) bacteriological test has been included. If you have any questions with regard to this matter, please contact our office at (970) 945-5700.

CIVIL ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS Garfield County Building & Planning 108 8'I' St. Ste 401 Glenwood Springs, CO 810601 RECEIVED AP; 0 5?.X110 GARFIELD COUNTY BUILDING & PLANNING Re: CPPF 6257 -Combined Preliminary Plan and Final Plat, Seaton Subdivision Mr. Veljic This letter contains responses to the various issues raised by the County in its letter of February 19, 2009, whereby it deemed the Seaton Subdivision application technically incomplete. The responses of the Applicant are in italics. Application • The Authorization Letter needs the signature of Mrs. Seaton. The Authorization Letter has been Signed by Nanette Seaton • There is no narrative discussion in the application requesting approval for Accessory Dwelling Units yet comments in your discussion about adequate water imply there will be 4 residential units on the two lots. At the current time no approval is sought for accessory dwelling units as part of the subdivision. The Applicant has obtained a West Divide Water Conservancy District contract and a well permit for the property which would ultimately accommodate two accessory dwelling units. However, the decision about whether to pursue approval of accessory dwelling units will be left to fixture owners. Under the Land Use Code, an accessory dwelling unit can be approved by administrative review in the Rural Zone District. • There seems to be some conflict between the Parcels A and B and your labeled Tract A. I'm not sure how Tract A fits into the plat. Is it proposed for dedication, open space, or some other use? Tract A is that portion of County Road 149 (Cheyln Road) which encroaches on the Seaton Property. Tract A will be dedicated to the County on the Final Plat. • The legal descriptions in the title commitment don't seem to include Tract A. Your narrative should explain the parcel history for the separate lots, the combining of the two lots, the past boundary line adjustment, and where Tract A comes from and who owns it. The Final Plat has been changed to describe the two lots to be created by this subdivision as Lot 1 and Lot 2. Historically, the Seaton Property was described as two "Parcels", a Parcel A and a Parcel B. This legal description is shown on the Title Commitment prepared by Stewart Title (in the Application) because that is how the property was conveyed in the vesting deed for the Seatons. Based upon a review of the chain of title, the historic Parcel A and Parcel B were always in common ownership. The County Attorney has taken the position that Parcel A and Parcel B merged by operation of law. Thus, for the purposes of the subdivision application, the historical Parcel A and Parcel B distinction is irrelevant. • I disagree with your discussion in the application concerning open space, that an "Open Space Plan" is unnecessary unless you address the intended use of Tract A. As discussed above, Tract A will be dedicated to Garfield County to accommodate County Road 149. There will be no common ownership of open space associated with the subdivision. Thus, no Open Space Plan is required under the code. • Your title commitment describes Parcels A and B but I'm not sure that the title commitment includes Tract A. Ownership of the entire 13.22 acre sites needs to be confirmed since your title commitment doesn't reference the entire 13.22 acre site. As discussed above, this historic Parcel A and Parcel B includes the entire Seaton Property. This includes Tract A which will be dedicated to Garfield County. • The legal description used on the authorization letter does not match the property boundaries on the plat. The legal description on the new authorization letter signed by Don and Nanette Seaton matches the legal description on the plat. • In your application you imply that an analysis of stormwater detention is not required (Section 7-207). A stormwater detention plan and calculation for Parcels A and B (plus Tract A) include the correct sizing for all runoff from impervious areas is required. It was not implied that a drainage analysis was unnecessary. A drainage analysis was prepared and a Drainage Narrative written discussing detention requirements due to development on the property. Calculated runoff rates for historic & developed conditions during the 100 -yr storm event have been attached with the Drainage Narrative in Item 3 of this application. The typical detention requirements found from the calculations performed suggest the possibility of providing 700± cf of detention for both lots to mitigate the impacts of development. Although these calculations suggest detention, engineering judgment concludes that due to the sites immediate proximity to Four Mile Creek, detaining waters onsite could result in adverse affects. Detained waters would take longer to release from the site and could end up contributing to the peak flows of Four Mile Creek that arrive to the site much later. Releasing the runofffrom the site immediately could allow the site to stabilize prior to the arrival of peak flows from upstream properties along Four Mile Creek. • You have not submitted a Land Suitability Analysis which is a required submittal document. A land suitability analysis has been included in the schedule of items. • Landscape and Lighting Plans are required if you propose any common ownership areas (not sure about "Tract A"). As described above, there is 710 common ownership areas associated with the subdivision. Tract A will be dedicated to Garfield County. • Your narrative has not responded to the requirements of Article 7, Division 2, General Resource Protection Standards for Land Use Change Permits. A response to the General Standards Article 7 Division 1 and General Resource Protection Standards Article 7 Division 2 has been included in the schedule of items. Adj acent Ownership • Your parcel map has two parcels labeled with the 001 suffix and only one address. Please correct the missing parcel ownership. They are different Parcel ID numbers one is 239503309001 as part of the Sunlight View II Sub. and the other is 23950330907001 as part of the Lazy Diamond Sub. • There are missing ownerships for adjacent parcels (BLM possibly for one) and two parcels with the suffix 032 and 035. The list of adjacent property owners has been updated to include the missing parcels. • You have not provided a list of mineral owners on your parcel ownership. There appears to be numerous mineral owners in from the chain of title/deeds. A list of mineral right owners is included as a supplement to the Application section dealing with title. Notice of the land use hearing will be sent to mineral owners after hearing dates have been scheduled by the County. Preliminary Plan (See Section 5-502 (C) (4)) The following data is missing from the Preliminary Plan. • The legal description is missing. This information is on the Plat with the Certification of Dedications and Ownership. • Site data in chart form presenting: o Total area of the proposed subdivision; total area of the developed buildings, driveways and parking areas; total area of non-residential floor space. This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary o Total number of proposed lots; breakdown of the lot total by number of lots per use (i.e. residential use, business or conunercial and industrial use, and other public and non-public uses). This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary o Total number of proposed off-street parking spaces. This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary o Total number of dwelling units; total number of dwelling units per structure proposed. This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary o Total gross density proposed. This is on the Plat listed in the Land Use Summary • Boundary lines, corner pins, and dimensions of the subject property, including land survey data to identify the parcel with section corners, distance and bearing to corners, quarter corners, township and range. This information is shown on the Plat Map of the property. • Topography at the following minimum contour intervals. o Subdivision with all lots two (2) acres or greater in size, topography shown at five (5) foot contour intervals. Topography is shown at 5foot contour intervals for the entire property. o Areas having slopes 30% or more, or other significant topographic conditions, topography shown at 5-foot contour intervals. Topography is shown at 5foot contour intervals for the entire property. • Location and layout of lots and blocks, with lots and blocks numbered consecutively, and the dimensions and acreage of each lot.

A GOOD INTRODUCTORY SOURCE FOR SUCH INFORMATION IS "A GUIDE TO RURAL LIVING & SMALL SCALE AGRICULTURE" PUT OUT BY THE COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION OFFICE IN GARFIELD COUNTY. Final Plat (See Section 5-502 (C) (5) The following data is missing from the Final Plat or not correctly displayed. • Final plat shall be scaled at 1 inch to 200 feet. Final plat shall be prepared in a clear and legible manner on reproducible film stock measuring 24" x 36" with clear margins of two (2) inches on the left hand side and one-half inch on the remaining sides. A scale of 1.200 would not be an appropriate scale for this plat to legibly show all the pertinent information that is needed on the Plat. A scale of 1:60 was chosen to illustrate the entire property but also maintain adequate detail to legibly show the pertinent information. • The Final Plat shall contain the following information, in a format prescribed by the County. • The lengths of all arcs, radii and tangents. Sufficient data shall be shown for all curved lines on the plat to enable reestablishment of the curves in the field. This information is provided on the Plat Map. • All lots and blocks shall be numbered consecutively. The lots and been renumbered Lot 1 & Lot 2. • Area of the site, area of individual parcels, and areas of all development including developed driveways, parking and buildings. This information is provided in the land use summary. • The purpose and owner(s) of all easements and statements from all utility companies, as applicable, that the stated services will be provided to the proposed development after platting. A plat note may be necessary to provide complete information regarding the purpose of the easement. • The boundary lines and dimensions, shown accurately, of all property to be reserved and dedicated, with the means of access to such property clearly shown and its intended uses noted. • Identification of lots with slope in excess of thirty (30) percent and any other lots where special studies are required prior to obtaining a development permit. A designated boundary line has been added that illustrates areas that are in excess of 30%. • Delineation of all known, identified or designated one hundred (100) year floodplains and localized areas subject to periodic inundation along the required stream setback lines, if any. The 100 -yr floodplain boundary is shown an the Plat Map. • Design and layout of all water and sewer service lines, treatment facilities and other elements of the sanitary sewer system. Sewer system layout is shown on the Plat Map. • All lands within the boundary of the subdivision shall be accounted for as a lot, tract, parcel, open space, street, right-of-way, alley and so forth, and all areas of such lands shall be shown on the plat to the nearest one hundredth of an acre. The Subdivision is comprised of three areas; Lot 1, Lot 2, & Tract A. • All plat notes required under Preliminary Plan approval. The notes from Preliminary Plat have been included on the Final Plat. • The Final Plat shall include executed certificates, notices, and statements in the standard format required by the County, including the following certifications. o Certificate for acceptance by Board of County Commissioners. o Certification by County Surveyor and Surveyor. o Owners and Mortgagee certification. o Certificate for County Clerk and Recorder. o Certificate for the Garfield County Treasurer. Theses certificates have been added to the Preliminary & Final Plats. Additional Final Plat Comments • Your signature certificates are outdated and incorrect. You've added certificates intended for the City of Glenwood Springs. The ULUR (Section 5-502 (C) (5) has a list of required certificates plus add in the County Treasurer. I will email you the current certificate language in MS word format; o The Board of County Con-imissioners o The County Surveyor and your Surveyor o Owners and Mortgagee Certificates o Certificate for the County Clerk and Recorder o The Garfield County Treasurer Theses certificates have been added to the Preliminary & Final Plats. • I'm not sure where the site construction notes and future development disclosures come from. These notes are intended for the contractor as part of the construction documents and were not to be construed as a plat note but as a site plan notes. These notes are not on the Preliminary or Final Plats. • I've noted my concerns about Tract A in other continents. This Tract is still a "lot" and this application would be a three lot subdivision. Will there be an HOA to maintain this lot? The issues surrounding this third lot need to be resolved. Tract A is not a lot and is to be dedicated to the County as discussed previously. • The ULUR requires a numerical designation for each lot not a letter designation. Please change your lot labeling to Lot 1 and Lot 2. The Lots have been relabeled as Lot 1 & Lot 2 • A plat note is required that "... no land disturbances are allowed within 35 feet of the Four Mile Creek (add name) except those permitted under Section 7-203 (A) (2) of the ULUR. The setback has been revised to provide a 35' buffer. A plat note has been added under the setback/envelopes section clarifying the setback criteria. • I have some general final plat notes and comments; o There is a discrepancy between the distance iii the second paragraph of the Certification of Dedication and Ownership of the final plat and the distance noted on the final plat (412.99 feet vs. 398.24 feet) The 394.24 feet is the distance of the west property line prior to the Oddo/Seaton boundary line adjustment Rec # 565474. An additional 14.75 feet along the west boundary was obtained with the line adjustment bringing the present west line to 412.99 feet. o Length and radius are missing on the CR 149 right of way Length and radius was added. o The distance measurement is missing on the curve of the entry drive Distance was added. o Revise setbacks from Four Mile Creek and add plat notes The setbacks have been revised and a note added to the setbacks/envelopes section of the Plat. o I've noted many questions about Tract A shown on the plat Tract A is to be dedicated to the County, as discussed previously. o Does the area of Parcel B include Tract A No, a note has been added to Lot 2's annotation. o There is a bearing missing on a common Parcel A/B boundary line Bearing was added. Additional Comments • Your application provides evidence that you have a legal right to the necessary water to serve the subdivision but the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 requires a 24 hour pump test to prove the physical capacity to provide water. Your test should relate the need for two (or four if ADUs are contemplated) single family homes both in quantity and quality. Any approval of the preliminary and final plat will be conditioned for adequate testing. This letter constitutes a waiver of the requirement to conduct a 24 hour pump test as foreseen in County Code Section 7-104 B.2.a. As stated in the opening paragraph ofArticle VII, "in the event that certain minimum standards may be either inappropriate ... a waiver from such standards may be considered." Such a waiver is appropriate here. The subdivision will be served by an existing well located on the property. The existing well has been used for several years to serve two existing residential dwellings. The proposed subdivision would use the well to serve the exact same two dwellings —just on two separate lots. As noted herein, no accessory dwelling unit approvals are sought at this time. The existing well has provided an adequate physical supply of water to the two dwellings. A 24 hour pump test would be a costly exercise that would yield no additional relevant information. • A revised/new well permit will be required as a condition of approval and should be consistent with your West Divide contract. If your application(s) for well permits and water contracts are for up to four units why doesn't your Subdivision application include that request? As described above, this Application does not seek approval for accessory dwelling units. Instead, the Application merely seeks approval of a subdivision creating two lots each of which will have one existing residence. Future owners of the two lots may independently seek approval for accessory dwelling units in conformance with the County Code. The West Divide Water Conservancy District contract and the well permit will facilitate up to two accessory dwelling units if ultimately approved by the County. A copy of the new well permit is attached. • You have provided calculations for Road Impact fees that do not apply to the existing homes. However, if you are proposing Accessory Dwelling Units for each lot then a Road Impact Fee would be assessed. The cost/adt you quote is incorrect. The fee is the cumulative total of Study Area(s) 8a through 8d for a total of $264. No accessory dwelling units are proposed at this time. • One of the ISDS permits is for a 1 bedroom home. Has this ISDS been sized for a larger residence? The application documents imply a larger home will be constructed on this future parcel. The collection systems were sized to accommodate current demands. Any future connections to these systems may require additional designs and shall be permitted at the time of fixture development. • There is no discussion in your application concerning the inconsistency between the requested subdivision and the Comprehensive Plan residential density designation for this area as 1 residential unit/10 acres. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Zoning, Comprehensive Plan, and the surrounding neighborhood. The property already has two dwelling units. The proposed subdivision will merely place the two existing units on two separate legal parcels. The density of one unit per 6.5 acres already exists on the Seaton Property. This density is also consistent with neighboring developments - Chelyn Acres (2-7 acre lots), Lazy Diamond Subdivision (4-6 acre lots) and Sunlight View II (1-2 acre lots). Both of the proposed lots meet the minimum zoning requirement of 2 acres. Thank you for your review and consideration.

CML ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS March 26, 2010 Garfield County Building & Planning 108 8'" St, Ste 401 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: Seaton Subdivision Subdivision Application In accordance with Sections 5-501 E & G Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, the followings materials are to be submitted review. The owner or the property (Don & Nanette Seaton) desire to take advantage of the provisions of Section 5-303 and have the preliminary plan and final plat review combined. Combining preliminary plan and final plat review is appropriate here because these will be fewer than seven (7) Tots and no additional site improvements are necessary to facilitate the subdivision. Preliminary Plan Review Process: 1. Application Forms & Fees: A check in the amount of $675 has been enclosed for the Garfield County application review fee. The Preliminary Plan Subdivision Application has been signed and is enclosed. A check in the amount of $600 has been enclosed for a referral agency fee made out to the Colorado Geological Society. A submittal form for land use review provided by the Colorado Geological Society has been filled out and is enclosed. 2. Vicinity Map: Two vicinity maps can be found under Exhibit A; one is at 1"=4000' scale and the other is of a USGS Quadrangle at a 1"=2000' scale. 3. Preliminary Plan Map: A half size Plan Map and half size Plat Map can be found in Exhibit A that was developed in accordance with Section 5-502.C.4, Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008. 4. Yield Plan: The proposed subdivision is not being applied for as a conservation subdivision therefore no yield plan is necessary. 823 Blake Ave. 1 Ste 102 1 Glenwood Springs 1 C0 81601 1 Ph 970.945.5252 1 Fax 970.384.2833 Garfield County Re: Seaton Subdivision, Subdivision Application Mar 26, 2010 Page 2 of 4 5. Open Space Plan: An opens space plan was deemed unnecessary. Approximately 11.02 of the 13.16 acres of land will remain as open space. The remaining 2.136 acres is to be used as "usable" space that was developed in accordance with Section 3-201.C, Article III of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008. 6. Open Space Management Plan: Open space on the property shall be maintained by the property owner of each parcel. 7. Landscape Plan: No common ownership areas are proposed with this subdivision; therefore a landscape plan for common ownership areas is not applicable. 8. Impact Analysis: In accordance with Section 4-502.E, Article IV of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, an Impact Analysis has been completed and is enclosed as Item 5. 9. Land Suitability Analysis: In accordance with Section 4-502.D, Article IV of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, a Land Suitability Analysis has been completed and is enclosed as Item 4. 10. Lighting Plan: No common open space is proposed with this subdivision; therefore a lighting plan for such areas is not needed. 11. Visual Analysis: In accordance with Section 5-502.G, Article V of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, a Visual Analysis has been completed and is enclosed as Item 6. No proposed development is anticipated at this time and therefore a good illustration of such was not possible. The Visual analysis illustrates existing conditions of the property and gives insight to the impacts and mitigations for any future building on the property. 12. Preliminary Report and Plans: a. No streets, trails, walkways and bikeways are proposed with this plan. Red Barn Lane has already been constructed and conforms to current Garfield County Standards, which provides access to both Lot 1 and Lot 2. b. The property has already been developed and no additional engineering design and construction features for any structures to be constructed are necessary for compliance to County Standards.

Geologic hazards have been addressed in the Impact Analysis, enclosed as Item 4. A steep hillside on the west side of Four -Mile Creek creates a potential rock fall hazard. Although no future building is anticipated within this hazard area an engineered rock barrier may be the best means to mitigate this hazard. d. Two septic systems have already been established and approved by Garfield County; therefore a plan of this system is not needed. Future building on Lot 2 may require connection to the current system but shall be designed for at the time of development. e. In accordance with section 4-502.C.4 Article IV of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, an Erosion & Sediment Control Plan has been enclosed as Item 3. Erosion & sediment control will primarily be needed when future building on Lot 2 is developed. No erosion & sediment control measures shall be needed at this time. f. A copy of the current well permit has been enclosed in Exhibit C. Connection to this well has already been established for both Parcels, therefore no water supply plan is needed. g. Current ISDS systems are in place for both parcels. A copy of the ISDS permits have been included in Exhibit C. Future building on Lot 2 may require a new ISDS system and shall be designed and applied for at the time of development. 13. Improvements Agreement, Covenants And restrictions & By -Laws: Because all public improvements for this subdivision have already been constructed, no improvements agreement is required. No owners association or covenants are planned. A copy of a Well Sharing Agreement and a Road Sharing Agreements are attached in Exhibit E. Final Plat Review Process: 1.

Final Plat for the proposed Seaton Subdivision. I've reviewed the submittal documents, received on January 14, 2010, and at this time, the application does not include all required information per Garfield County Regulations. The application is therefore deemed Technically Incomplete and the Planning Department will not process this application any further until the following information, listed below, has been provided to the satisfaction of this office. Please address the following items and submit three copies of the modified information to this office so that we may continue the review of this application: Application • The Authorization Letter needs the signature of Mrs. Seaton. • There is no narrative discussion in the application requesting approval for Accessory Dwelling Units yet comments in your discussion about adequate water imply there will be 4 residential units on the two lots. • There seems to be some conflict between the Parcels A and B and your labeled Tract A. I'm not sure how Tract A fits into the plat. Is it proposed for dedication, open space, or some other use? • The legal descriptions in the title commitment don't seem to include Tract A. Your narrative should explain the parcel history for the separate lots, the combining of the two lots, the past boundary line adjustment, and where Tract A comes from and who owns it. • I disagree with your discussion in the application concerning open space, that an "Open Space Plan" is unnecessary unless you address the intended use of Tract A. 108 Eighth Street, Suite 401 • Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 (970) 945-8212 • (970) 285-7972 • Fax: (970) 384-3470 • Your title commitment describes Parcels A and B but I'm not sure that the title commitment includes Tract A. Ownership of the entire 13.22 acre sites needs to be confirmed since your title commitment doesn't reference the entire 13.22 acre site. • The legal description used on the authorization letter does not match the property boundaries on the plat. • In your application you imply that an analysis of stormwater detention is not required (Section 7-207). A stormwater detention plan and calculation for Parcels A and B (plus Tract A) include the correct sizing for all runoff from impervious areas is required. • You have not submitted a Land Suitability Analysis which is a required submittal document. • Landscape and Lighting Plans are required if you propose any common ownership areas (not sure about "Tract A"). • Your narrative has not responded to the requirements of Article 7, Division 2, General Resource Protection Standards for Land Use Change Permits. Adjacent Ownership • Your parcel map has two parcels labeled with the 001 suffix and only one address. Please correct the missing parcel ownership. • There are missing ownerships for adjacent parcels (BLM possibly for one) and two parcels with the suffix 032 and 035. • You have not provided a list of mineral owners on your parcel ownership. There appears to be numerous mineral owners in from the chain of title/deeds. Preliminary Pian (See Section 5-502 (C) (4)) The following data is missing from the Preliminary Plan. • The legal description is missing. • Site data in chart form presenting: o Total area of the proposed subdivision; total area of the developed buildings, driveways and parking areas; total area of non-residential floor space. o Total number of proposed lots; breakdown of the lot total by number of lots per use (i.e. residential use, business or commercial and industrial use, and other public and non-public uses). o Total number of proposed off-street parking spaces. o Total number of dwelling units; total number of dwelling units per structure proposed. o Total gross density proposed. • Boundary lines, comer pins, and dimensions of the subject property, including land survey data to identify the parcel with section comers, distance and bearing to corners, quarter corners, township and range. • Topography at the following minimum contour intervals. o Subdivision with all lots two (2) acres or greater in size, topography shown at five (5) foot contour intervals. o Areas having slopes 30% or more, or other significant topographic conditions, topography shown at 5 -foot contour intervals. • Location and layout of lots and blocks, with lots and blocks numbered consecutively, and the dimensions and acreage of each lot. • Existing land uses and zoning on adjoining properties. • Location and dimension of land to be held in common, open space devoted to community use, and land to be dedicated to County. • Supplemental Information: The Preliminary Plan Map shall be accompanied by the following information. o A list from the County Assessor's office of current property owners of record and their complete mailing address for property within two hundred (200) feet of the boundaries of the proposed subdivision. o A list of the owners of subsurface mineral interests and their lessees, if any, on the proposed site and their complete mailing addresses. • I'm not sure where all of the plat notes came from.

The fee is the cumulative total of Study Area(s) 8a through 8d for a total of $264. • One of the ISDS permits is for a 1 bedroom home. Has this ISDS been sized for a Larger residence? The application documents imply a larger home will be constructed on this future parcel. • There is no discussion in your application concerning the inconsistency between the requested subdivision and the Comprehensive Plan residential density designation for this area as 1 residential unit/10 acres.
