RE: FEXA 6352 — SnobbleBazley Exemption Amendment
Dear Mr. Chain:
On April 7, 2010 I sent you a letter indicating that your application, noted above, was incomplete
and did not include all information required by the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 or, the
information that was supplied was deficient. In that letter I described each item that was
technically inadequate giving you the opportunity to address the deficiencies in your application
and resubmit the specific documents, forms, or plans as noted in my letter (copy attached).
The Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 (ULUR) requires the Director to make a
Determination of Completeness for Land Use Change Applications within thirty (30) working
days of receipt of the application materials (10 working days for Administrative Review
Permits). If an application is not complete, the Director shall inform the applicant of the
deficiencies in writing and shall take no further action on the application until the deficiencies
are remedied. If the applicant fails to correct the deficiencies within sixty (60) calendar
days, the application shall be considered withdrawn. The sixty calendar day time period
begins when the letter, noted above, is sent to the applicant. You have not responded within that
sixty day time period (ending at 5 PM on June 7, 2010) so the Building and Planning Department
of Garfield County considers your application withdrawn. You may reapply by submitting three
complete applications that address the deficiencies noted in the letter sent to you on April 7,
2010. This is considered a new application and does require payment of the current application
fee.
Sincerely,
Thomas Veljic, AICP

RE: FEXA 6352 — SnobbleBazley Exemption Amendment
Dear Mr. Chain:
I am writing this letter regarding the Barbara Snobble and James Bazley application for an
Amendment to a Final Exemption Plat. I've reviewed the submittal documents, received on
March 17, 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 (Any questions about the comments concerning the deeds of trust and conveyances
between parties noted below, can be directed to Deborah Quinn, Assistant County Attorney -945-
9150.)
• Section 5-501 (I) of the ULUR lists the required application documents for Amending a
Final Exemption Plat. Please include a Vicinity Map as a separate document described in
Section 5-502 (C) (2).
• Please note item 27 in the Certificate. How does the lot line adjustment from August 31,
2004 relate to the current request?
• Barbara Snobble must sign the authorization letter.
• There are three deeds of trust (DOT) on the property(ies). Each lender should consent
and subordinate or substitute the new legal descriptions for the amendments for Tracts A
and B (this assumes that the legals in the DOT's match those in Reso 81-298, but we
don't have the DOT's so not sure)); otherwise if there is a default, the resulting deed at
the foreclosure sale will be for a lot that is described differently from what is being
requested.
• There will also need to be conveyances between the parties in connection with these
adjustments in the lot lines and those conveyances would also be subject to the pre -

(970) 945-8212 • (970) 285-7972 • Fax: (970) 384-3470
existing deeds of trust, another reason to get the lenders consents to the lot line
adjustments.
• Until those conveyances occur between the parties to effect the boundary adjustments,
the ownership information on the exemption plat is inaccurate. Those deeds should be
tendered to be recorded at the time the plat is recorded.
Amended Plat Document
• Please title as Amended Snobble Exemption Plat (or the "Amended" of what the original
exemption plat was titled).
• Remove the existing legal descriptions from the amended plat.
• Please add the Treasurer's Certificate.
• Please include all of the required information listed in Section 5-502 (C) (7).
