Lewis' Subject: Exemption Plat Update Attachments: Sloop-Gaylod Exemption - Irrigation Sharing Agreement (final edits).doc Hi Gay: I've heard back from the County Attorney's Office as follows: - Your driveway agreement looks good but will need to be updated with a new exhibit A once the plat has had its final edits. - The irrigation agreement looks good subject to some minor typographical edits (see attached redline version). She also has reviewed my plat note and certificate edits and we will now provide a copy of those to your surveyor for his work on the plat. I will copy you also so you can assist in reviewing the final version of the plat. Of note some of the current plat notes will need to be replaced by text consistent with the Director's Decision letter. - We will request an electronic copy of the plat once the changes have been made to ensure that we are complete prior to ordering the mylar. I spoke with the Assistant County Attorney about your lienholder question. She reinforced that Ieinholders normally will sign the plat and was not aware of any cases when a title company had authorization from a lienholder to sign on their behalf. It is definitely worth double checking with your title company. Please let me know what you find out and if you experience difficulties in determining how to obtain the appropriate signature. - Per our recent conversations I understand that you have an appraiser scheduled. The payment of the school land dedication fees would occur prior to the plat being signed & recorded. You have checked all but a couple of items off the list. My next focus will be on making sure the plat (notes and certificates) is in good shape. I will check in with you again tomorrow. Thanks.

Outlined below is a quick status summary following the outline from my 5/13 email. - Comments from the County Surveyor have been transmitted to your surveyor. Your revised agreements are being reviewed by the Assistant County Attorney. - The Assistant County Attorney is also taking a final look at your plat notes. The pump test and water quality opinion you provided was accepted by Fred Jarman. You are working on an appraisal which will allow us to finalize the school land dedication fee calculation. The gate access issue is resolved. - Information will be provided to your surveyor on the certificates to be used for lien holders and for certification of taxes being paid. It may be appropriate for you at this time to research how you will obtain lien holders signatures from your current lender. hope to have the Assistant Attorney's comments late today and forward them on to your surveyor. I spoke with him this morning to let him know the type of comments to expect (i.e. mostly certificates and nothing major) will double check the conditions of approval (Director's Decision Letter) and you might also want to review that letter to make sure your are comfortable that all issues/conditions have been addressed. I will follow-up with another email on the status either late today or tomorrow morning. Thanks for all your work on wrapping up the plat and conditions.

Plat notes C and D are overwriting. 2.) The attached plat certificates are to be used for all plats. V/ Once these comments and corrections have been addressed, and all final comments from Building and planning have been completed, the Mylar may be prepared for recording.

Lewis' Subject: Exemption Conditions of Approval Hi Gay and Glenn: Our meeting with the surveyor and Assistant County Attorney this morning went well. We discussed a lot of topics including the conditions of approval contained in your Director's Decision Letter and your draft plat. I figured email might be the easiest way to summarize the meeting. The County Surveyor will provide his comments directly to your surveyor in regard to the plat. The Assistant County Attorney is reviewing your irrigation agreement document and your shared driveway agreement. She is also reviewing and will edit a series of plat notes that will be added to the plat in response to specific conditions of approval. Your pump test and water quality information seemed to be all good news, however the code does require you to provide a report by an engineer or ground water hydrologist. The requirement is outlined in your Director's Decision Letter Item #5 and in Section 7-104 (B) of the Unified Land Use Resolution. The key component is a determination/opinion that the "...well will be adequate for the proposed uses." and that the water quality meets the applicable Colorado Primary Drinking Water Standards. Given that the tests are done the matter of writing an opinion should be relatively straightforward. Pursuant to Condition #10 of your Director's Decision, you will need to pay a school land dedication fee. If you have any current appraisal information that would be most helpful in running the calculation. Please advise as to your plans regarding installation of a gate at the secondary access for Lot 2 per Condition #8 and the Road and Bridge requirement. will be providing copies of slightly different signature blocks/certificates directly to your Surveyor for inclusion on your plat. Your plat will need to include a certificate of taxes paid which is signed by the County Treasurer verifying that all your taxes have been paid. You will need to contact the Treasurer directly. A lien holders certificate and appropriate signatures will also be required on the plat. I apologize for the all the detail above but wanted to make sure we're making progress on all the issues. An anomaly with the May Calendar has our next available meeting for presenting your plat for execution by the Board of County Commissioners on June 6`h. We are prepared to work toward meeting that goal. The plat with all required signatures should be in hand a week ahead of the meeting date. If we don't talk today, I will call on Monday to follow-up and answer any questions. Sincerely, Glenn Hartmann Garfield County Building and Planning 1 SLOOZ' X .SS SND TLON.

Does this satisfy the final plat doc? Did you ever have the time to send us the letters of concern regarding our split? Would still love to see them. I need to discuss #13 with you. Missouri Heights -Mountain Meadow Irrigation Company (our surface water source) is a stock company of which I'm on the Board. Water does not have to remain with the land. The Irrigation company will no longer recognize splits in stock shares when a property is split. They don't want to have to measure every small diversion. An association has to be formed to control the shares of water, and the dividing of water on that property is determined by the Association. Sounds confusing but really isn't. Anyway, since both lots are owned by Glen and myself, the Association would be Glen and Gay to Glen and Gay. Would #13 be better written by saying " upon conveyance of Lot 1 separate from Lot 2, the applicants shall convey adequate irrigation water rights to each lot commensurate with each lot's size and irrigation demands?' Our well on Lot 1 is do to be tested this week --$4500.00 to test a well that doesn't even have a pump in it? Are you sure we can't get around this, and have the well tested at time of sale? Yikes! Let me know when a convenient time is to call you and discuss #13. Thanks so much for your help Gay Lewis 1 STATE OF COLORADO COLORADO GEOLOGICAL SURVEY --serving the people of Colorado Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman Street, Room 715 Denver, CO 80203 Phone: (303) 866-2611 Fax: (303) 866-2461 April 13, 2011 Mr. Glenn Hartmann Garfield County Planning Department 108 8th Street Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: Sloop -Gaylord Exemption, CGS GA -11-0006_1 COLORADO )EPARTTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES John Hickenlooper Governor Michael King Executive Director Vincent Matthews Dear Mr. Hartmann: Division Director and State Geologist Thank you for submitting the above referenced proposal. The proposal is to subdivide 40.5 acres into two single- family Tots. Lot 2, with an existing home, will be about 5 acres in size. Lot 1, with numerous existing accessory structures will be about 35 acres. Both Tots will be served by well and septic. The site is located northeast of Catherine along County Road 102. Several drainages and irrigation ditches cross the site. Most of the site is fairly level but steep areas are present along drainages, especially in the southwest quarter of the site. In this area, the drainage was well vegetated but appeared to contain "loose" sediment deposits. No geologic or geotechnical information was submitted with the application. According to geologic maps, the site is underlain by sheetwash, colluvium and collapse debris. Collapse debris deposits are moderately to severely deformed bedrock and overlying undeformed to moderately deformed surficial deposits. The debris was formed in response to differential vertical collapse or regional subsidence resulting from dissolution of underlying thick beds of evaporates. As a result, landslides, depressions, and sinkholes can found in the general area. Distinct subsidence features were not evident near existing structures but such risks are possible. Soil constraints such as collapsible soil, expansive soil, and corrosive soils may also be present. According to soil survey data, when disturbed, soils in steeper areas are highly erodible, In summary, Lot 1 has ample good building areas to accommodate a single-family home and accessory structures. It would be prudent to avoid building or disturbing soil in or near drainages. A site-specific soils and foundation investigation should be done before buildings are constructed. Even though the risk appears to be low, the investigation will also help mitigate subsidence risks. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

EVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING AND DESIGN ____") RE: Review of Sloop -Gaylord Minor Subdivision Exemption: MIEA-6693 Dear Glenn: This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Sloop -Gaylord Minor Subdivision Exemption. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The following questions, concerns, or comments were generated: 1. The application materials did not provide 24-hour pump tests or water quality tests for either of the wells. The Applicant should obtain the results of these tests and forward to Garfield County for review. 2. It is unclear if the existing accesses are permitted by Garfield County Road and Bridge and what is intended for the future. Will the southerly access need an easement? Will the southerly access be exclusively for Lot 2? Will the northerly access be shared between the two lots? The Applicant should clarify the intended uses, show any necessary easements on the plat, and coordinate with Road and Bridge. 3. The application materials state that Lot 2 will not receive any irrigation water from the Middle Ditch. What was unclear was how Lot 2 will obtain water for outside irrigation. If water is intended to be used from the existing well, only 1 acre is allowed. The Applicant should address how the outside irrigation area will be split between the two lots. 4. A well sharing agreement was not provided for the intended use of the existing well. Additionally the existing well is not inside of the easement provided. Lot 1 would need to trespass on Lot 2 to perform any necessary repairs or maintenance on the well. The Applicant should provide a well sharing agreement and include the well within the utility easement. Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.

The applicant is requesting to divide, by exemption, a 40.56 acre tract into two lots, 35.329 acres and 5.228 acres. The applicant proposes to use two existing wells, operating under well permit nos. 88276 and 228016, to supply water to the two parcels. Both parcels will have individual septic systems; irrigation water is provided by the Middle Ditch through Spring Park Reservoir. Permit no. 88276 was issued on February 8, 1977 pursuant to CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(I). The uses of the well as listed on the permit are "domestic uses and the irrigation of not over one acre of home gardens and lawns". Permit no. 228016 was issued on August 28, 2000 as the only well on 37.4 acres pursuant to CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(II)(A). The uses of this well are limited to fire protection, ordinary household purposes inside note more than three single family dwellings, the irrigation of not more than one acre of home gardens and lawns, and the watering of domestic animals. So long as the applicant operates these wells within the confines of the permits, this office has no objections to this application. However, DWR recommends that, upon approval of the final plat, the applicant obtains a new permit to reflect that permit no. 228016 will now be the only well on 35.3 acres instead of 37.4 acres. At this time no change is needed for permit no. 88276 as the permit was issued pursuant to CRS 37-92-602(3)(b)(I), which did not limit it as the only well on the parcel of 2.6 acres. However, if the applicant re -drills the well at a later date this office requests that they update the size of the parcel at that time. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. Please contact me at this office if you have any questions.

Page 2, Item e of Mr. Edwards February 25, 2011 letter to you indicates that the ISDS for the 35 -acre parcel is designed for the barn and 2 bathrooms and that any new structures being connected to this system will warrant an evaluation and appropriate expansion of the ISDS. Just a heads up that I believe the County ISDS regulations prohibit the addition of new building to existing systems unless the original system permit and was designed and approved to accommodate the additional buildings on the original permit. You may want to look into this with Andy and look at the general prohibitions section of the regulations near the end of the document. Thanks for the opportunity to review this application.

R&B driveway standards allow 1 driveway per lot. It is recommended that the applicant determine which driveway that will service each lot. The North driveway could be used to access both lot. The southern driveway does not appear to have any way to turn around, this could be potentially hazardous if they have to back out onto County Road 102. If the Northern driveway is to service both lots then it is recommended that a gate across the southern driveway be installed to limit its use. if a new driveway is to be added, then one of the existing driveway needs to be abandoned.

Our greatest concern is maintenance of a low housing density in Missouri Heights both to conserve water in this very dry region, and to keep the aesthetics of this historical ranch style environment. Recent construction of very large and conspicuous structures on similar sized acreage on county road 100 has significantly impacted its neighbors, and the threat of similar construction in our backyard is concerning. While I understand that permits for residential construction and other accessory buildings such as barn and riding arenas are separate processes, I believe that it would be useful for Garfield County to, at a minimum, establish a building envelope for the proposed new 35 acre lot. This would help determine its impact on the neighboring homes. Thank you for your consideration. If there are questions regarding this letter, please feel free to contact me at 970-379-2884.

One concern I have is with regards to water usage but I understand there is an exempt well on that property. However, my main concern is what kind of structure(s) may be built and how close to my property they could build. I was advised that a building envelope has not been established for the proposed new lot at this time, I would like to propose that a building envelope be established at the time of review and prior to approval to avoid the potential for any large structures being built too close to neighboring lots in the future. I understand that any structures would require approval but, with having no real control over what is approved, it would be beneficial for the neighboring properties to at least know where any future structures could be built. We are all trying retain any value we have in our properties in such a terrible market and this new Subdivision Exemption Application has the potential to significantly impact that.

She kindly passed on the info regarding the Sloop -Gaylord subdivision exemption application, my husband and I had a few questions we hope you can answer. 1. what are the required county setbacks from property line? 2. can we request that a building envelope be set on the 35 acre piece? 3. does the 5 acre lot include Gay's existing home or is it 5 bare acres that could require a building envelope as well? 4. what about accessory buildings...barns, sheds, etc? are there any Garfield Co rules on what can/can't be built and/or where? We feel this could largely impact our lot and home if additions were carried out in certain ways and would like to protect ourselves. Thank you for your time.

If you have any updates on that specific topic or if I can be of further assistance in researching specific deeds please let me know. Once we determine how many splits have occurred out of the original tract as it existed on 1/1/73 we can discuss whether your clients still qualify for an exemption and the possibility that they may need to amend the request from Minor to Major Exemption. Outlined below, I've included some follow-up notes on other completeness issues (pretty minor items). Some of these topics may not affect a completeness determination but may become topics for discussion as part of the Directors deliberation and/or consideration of conditions. a. Your Exhibit 1, Application form should be updated to reflect the amended request (Lot sizes primarily) b. It appears that access will be by an existing shared driveway. Language should be drafted for the dedication of the access and utility easement and include shared maintenance provisions. c. We anticipate a referral to Holy Cross Electric and comments regarding requirements to extend or create separate services for the two lots. Electric Service should be included in the easement dedications. d. We also anticipate a referral to Source Gas and comments regarding capacity of the existing lines. Gas service should be included in the easement dedications. It is not clear if the existing home on the proposed 5 acres lot will be provided natural gas service. e. Any additional information on the ISDS system serving the proposed 35 acre tract would most helpful in addressing its' adequacy. 1 f. If irrigation water rights and ditches are to be shared between the two lots, language should be drafted for the establishment of necessary easements and assignment of water rights. g. The 35 acre lot is represented to have a separate well. Your utility plan shows it connected to the well and pump house on the 5 acre tract. Please clarify your plans for domestic water service on that lot. The information you provided on a variety of hazards and constraints should be adequate to address the completeness issue. However, the question of referral expenses for the Colorado Geologic Survey review is an expense mandated by State Statute. Unfortunately, we are approaching the 60 day time period to address application completeness issues. If you are unable to address the completeness issue by March 5, 2011, in accordance with the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution the Application will be deemed withdrawn. Your options include a request for extension and/or reapplication which is fairly straightforward involving completing a new form, payment of fees, and attaching much of information that you have already provided. Thanks for any insight you can provide on the above topics.

The application has been reviewed to determine if the submittal materials are complete and although the application is very comprehensive and detailed there are several items that need to be provided or resolved prior to a determination of technical completeness. Please respond to the following items: 1. Pursuant to the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 (ULUR) as amended, regarding exemption plat requirements, the following additional information should be provided or clarification presented to the County: • Location and explanation of electric service utilities existing to the property and the proposed expansion to serve the new lot. • Additional information on the irrigation ditches located on the property (i.e. are they laterals or major ditches) and any existing or proposed irrigation ditch easements. • Information to demonstrate compliance with setback regulations regarding propane storage tanks as show on the plat or alternate methods to meet state or fire district regulations. • A separate 8 '/2 " x 11" vicinity map is needed. The map should be adjusted to include all property within a three mile vicinity. 2. The Applicant should address the existing building locations on Lot 1, in particular the 17' x 13' log building and the potential need to adjust the proposed lot lines to ensure compliance with setback requirements. 108 Eighth Street, Suite 401 • Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 (970) 945-8212 • (970) 285-7972 • Fax: (970) 384-3470 3. Clarification regarding liens that exist on the property and the need to include appropriate Ilenholder releases on the proposed exemption plat. 4. Details on the history of the creation of the 40 acre parcel should be provided as part of the Application submittal in order to demonstrate compliance with the County regulations regarding a Minor (2 lot) Exemption (Section 5-202 (A)) including how the property existed on January 1, 1973. 5. In regard to wastewater, the proposed system will need to comply with Section 7- 106 (b). The Application needs to include additional information on feasibility of an individual sewage disposal system and any additional site location and design criteria that may be necessary. 6. In regard to provision of a physical supply of water, a 24-hour pump test and water quality analysis will be required. The County can move forward with the review of the application but this information will be required prior to finalization and execution of the exemption plat. Once the above information/topics are adequately addressed we can finalize our completeness review and schedule a date for the Director Determination for the Application. Also, once determined to be complete, the adjacent owner notification is required as well as additional copies of the submittal materials to send to referral agencies. Applications to subdivide land are required to be sent to the Division of Water Resources, County Attorney, County Surveyor, County Vegetation Manager, Environmental Health Manager, Road & Bridge Department and the Colorado Geological Survey.
