Extensions can easily be made to service each proposed lot. The proposed locations for these utilities are shown on the enclosed utility plan, and the plan will be sent to the respective utility companies for their review and approval. • Water: The wells for the proposed domestic and irrigation water systems are already existing on the site. In fact, they are already in use for domestic and irrigation uses. Therefore, the quantity and quality of the water available is not a question, it has already been determined. Ample water is available for both domestic and irrigation uses, and the quality is reasonable and acceptable. • • • • • • The domestic and irrigation water systems are proposed to be separated to avoid the need to treat the water used for irrigation. However, a line will be run from the irrigation system to the intake of the domestic system. This will enable water from the irrigation well to be used as raw water for the domestic system in case of a difficulty with the domestic well. The treatment system for domestic water, as currently envisioned, will mainly consist of either a chlorination facility or an ultraviolet disinfection facility. Filtration is not expected to be needed due to the relatively deep aquifer source. The remainder of the system, excluding the distribution piping, will consist of controls for the pumps and disinfection. The distribution piping is all proposed to be C900 PVC water piping. This is a heavy wall PVC pipe that is accepted by the American Water Works Association for use in domestic water systems. Individual Sewage Disposal Systems: This property is adjacent to the Westbank Subdivision which also uses individual sewage disposal systems (ISDS). Percolation tests adjacent to this property indicate that a percolation rate of approximately five to ten minutes per inch will most likely be observed on the subject property. Thus, a standard soil absorption system would be sufficient. There is some possibility that percolation rates that are too fast for a standard system will be observed. In that case, a typical sand filter system could be used. • • • UTILITY, GRADING AND ROAD STATEMENTS (cont.) Responsibility for construction, operation and maintenance of individual disposal systems will rest with the individual lot owners, who should maintain the systems in accordance with Garfield County Health Department regulations. Should the welfare of adjacent homeowners be affected by failure of an individual owner to properly maintain a septic system, the Homeowner's Association will have the authority to enforce maintenance of the individual system. • GRADING AND ROAD PROFILES: No overlot grading is proposed by the developer, and none is envisioned to be necessary. The roadway within the project will be a private access road, and is designed to current • County Road Standards. A plan and profile drawing for this road is included with the 24" x 36" drawings with this submittal package. • • • • • • • ADDITIONAL INFORMATION • (Required per Sections 4:60, 4:91 and 4:92 of the County Subdivision Regulations) • • • • • • • • • • SECTION 4:60 INFORMATION The following additional information is furnished in compliance with Section 4:60 of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations: A.

No subdivision of a section will be required. • SECTION 4:91 INFORMATION • • • • The following additional information is furnished in compliance with Section 4:91 of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations: A. The water supply is sufficient in terms of quality, quantity and dependability and is available to insure an adequate supply of water for the proposed subdivision. 1. The owners and the developers of the property are the owners of Owens Domestic Well No. 1 for 0.22 c.f.s. (10 g.p.m.) and Owens Domestic and Irrigation Well No. 1 for .1 c.f.s. (45 g.p.m.). Copies of the Absolute Decrees for each well are submitted with this Application. These rights are based on appropriation dates in 1966 and are thus protected from calls in the priority system by releases from Green Mountain Reservoir. In addition, a Water Allotment Contract with the West Divide Conservancy District has been entered into by the property owners and is transferred to a partnership consisting of Walter A. Stowe and his wife, M. Karen Stowe. An Affidavit of Partnership is submitted with this Application. u:\RS RIVIATRUYL N IAN 1 The owner and developer has the legal authority and the right to divert up to 15 gallons per minute through the Owens Domestic Well No. 1 to service the subdivision. This well has the physical capacity to deliver water at the rate of 15 gallons per minute and will be sufficient to supply the needs of the subdivision. 2. A Well Completion and Pump Installation Report for the Owens Domestic and Irrigation Well No. 1 indicates a sustained capacity of 54 gallons per minute and is likely to perform satisfactorily for water service to this property. 3. No change in use will be required for the existing water rights to support this subdivision. 4. The owner/developer will transfer the water rights in the two (2) wells described above to the homeowners association for the property. All water and water rights available from both wells will be quit claimed to the Association. No extensive service extensions will be required. The legal dependability of the proposed water supply will be supported with releases from Green Mountain Reservoir and, if necessary, a Water Allotment Contract with the West Divide Water Conservancy District. All necessary water rights have been obtained to support the water supply plan for this subdivision. 5. Water tests on potability of the proposed water supply for the subdivision will be submitted with the final water system design. This water supply is currently used by six (6) rental units on the property without difficulty. B. Plans for the central supply and distribution system have been submitted by the developer. • I1.VR.S\RIV FR\I'RUPIAN. LAN • 1. The River Ridge Homeowners Association will be the owner and operator of the water system. 2. Financing of the initial construction of the water system will be paid for by the developer. On-going operational and maintenance expenses will be paid for by the homeowners association. 3. No connection will be made to an existing water system. 4. No individual water systems will be allowed on the property. 5. No separate Plan of Augmentation is necessary due to the utilization of Green Mountain Reservoir releases and the Water Allotment Contract with the West Divide Water Conservancy District. 2 SECTION 4:92 INFORMATION 4, The following additional information is furnished in compliance with to Section 4:92 of the Garfield County Subdivision Regulations: The property will utilize individual sewage disposal systems. The management plan for the operation and maintenance of on-site systems is provided through the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for the River Ridge P.U.D. Subdivision. In particular, Section 9.2 of the Declaration requires that individual owners maintain these systems and, if they fail to do so, the Association has the right to enter on the affected property, make necessary repairs and charge the owner of that property for such work. • I1:\1RSIRIVER,PRPL'LkN.

This is partially along the west bank of the river, above the double bridges and the access to the adjacent West Bank Subdivision. The parcel lies between Glenwood and Carbondale off Highway 82. The flat pasture and farm land comprising most of the property is out of the physiographic flood plain of the river; there are a number of improvements in the southern portion, some of which will be razed. The plan is for eight equally sized lots as shown. Access is already present to the flat land and may be easily extended. The flat land is all Quaternary age terrace deposits of an earlier level of the Roaring Fork River and the silts, sands, and cobbles of these deposits are outcropping in the river bank. The underlying bedrock unit is the Pennsylvanian -Permian age Maroon Formation. This is a tough red siltstone, shale and sandstone. The only concern is that regarding the steep bank down to the river or road. A setback of the foundation of at least the amount of vertical relief at each site should be maintained so that erosion of the bank will not endanger the homes. In all cases, site specific soils investigations are recommended for proper foundation design, especially if the setback distance is of concern. • Waste disposal by septic systems with leach fields should be possible in the alluvium of the terrace, but the steep bank will restrict where the fields may be. Water for domestic use will be developed through the use of one of two existing wells on the property. All homes should be designed to preclude the accumulation of radon gas. If there are further questions please contact me.

See the enclosed Basin Map for site location. There are no major drainages that affect this property, except, a small portion (which is not a buildable area anyway) that is within the floodplain of the Roaring Fork River. The 100 -year floodplain and floodway lines from the Roaring Fork River that affect this property have been shown on the Floodplain Study. This information was taken from the 1986 Flood Insurance Study for Garfield County. The storm runoff flows from this site will, in general, be quite diffuse and not particularly affect any parts of the project. The 25 -year expected discharges from the site have been calculated. However, the flows are too diffuse to calculate to any significant accuracy at any particular point. HYDROLOGY The hydrologic methods for this study are outlined in the Soil Conservation Service publication "Procedures for Determining Peak Flows in Colorado" (1980). Peak flows m this area will be primarily rainfall derived since the whole site is well below 8000 feet in elevation. Therefore, the storm drainage system will be more than adequate to handle spring snowmelt runoff. DRAINAGE PLAN The Preliminary Drainage Plan for the River Ridge P.U.D. is shown on the sheet entitled • Drainage Plan. Calculated flows are shown in the Appendix. Calculations were completed for the 25 -year return frequency event as required by County regulations. Existing drainage paths have been left intact. This ensures that, in general, overland flow will follow predictable historic paths. This also decreases the amount of grading necessary for roadways and actual building areas and thus reduces the possibility of erosion. No detention is proposed for this development because it is partly adjacent to the Roaring Fork • River, because of the large lot sizes and the diffuse flows, and because the change in flow due to development on any particular lot should be insignificant. In fact, runoff from the developed site will probably be less than from the existing site, due to better vegetative cover. In general, erosion control will consist of disturbing as little existing vegetation as possible and, . therefore, reclamation of as little area as possible. It is anticipated that areas that must be disturbed will be adjacent to residences and will be landscaped. SUMMARY The preliminary plan for River Ridge P.U.D. includes only minimal drainage improvements, but this should be adequate in view of the small and generally diffuse flows.

By execution of this application, and subsequent delivery and use of water, Applicant hereby agrees to the following terms and conditions: 1. Water Rights: Applicant shall own water rights at the point of diversion herein lawfully entitling Applicant to divert water, which will be supplemented by water leased herein. If Applicant intends to divert through a well, it must be understood by Applicant that no right to divert exists until a valid well permit is obtained from the State Engineer. 2. Quantity: Water applied for by the Applicant in the amount set forth above shall be diverted at Applicant's point o! diversion from the District's direct flow water rights, and when water is unavailable for diversion pursuant to administration by the Colorado State Engineer during periods when said direct flow water right is not in priority, the District shall release for the use of Appricant up to said quantity in acre-feet per year of storage water owned or controlled by the District. It is understood that any quantity allotted from direct flow, storage or otherwise, to the Applicant by the District will be limited by the priority of the District's decrees and by the physical and legal availability of water from District's sources. Any quantity allotted will only be provided so long as water is available and the Applicant fully complies with all of the terms and conditions o! this contract. The District and the Applicant recognize that some of the District's decrees may be in the name of the Colorado River Water Conservation District, and the ability of the District to allot direct flow rights to the Applicant may be dependent on the consent of the Colorado River Water Conservation District. If at any time the Applicant determines it requires less water than the amount herein provided, it may so notify the District in writing, and the amount of water allotted under this contract shall be reduced permanently in accordance with such notice. Rates shall be adjusted accordingly in following water years only. 3. Beneficial Use and Location of Beneficial Use: Any and all water allotted Applicant by the District snail be used for the following beneficial use or uses: Municipal, domestic and related uses, or irrigation and commercial (except to the extent that Ruedi water may not be available for irrigation and commercial as those terms are defined on page 5 of Contract No. 2-07-70-W0547 between the United States and the West Divide Water Conservancy District). .hpplicant's beneficial use of any and all water allotted shall be within or'through facilities or upon land owned, leased, operated, pr under Applicant's control. 4, Decrees and Delivery: Exchange releases made.by the District out of storage from Ruedi Reservoir, or other works or facilities of the District, or from other sources available to the District, shall be delivered to the Applicant at the outlet works of said storage facilities or at the decreed point of -1- diversion for said other sources, and release or delivery of water at such outlets or points shall constitute performance of the District's total obligation. Delivery of water by the District from Ruedi Reservoir shall be subject to the District's lease contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Releases from other facilities available to District shall be subject to the contracts, laws, rules, and regulations governing releases therefrom. Furthermore, the District hereby expressly reserves the right to store water and to make exchange releases from structures that may be built or controlled by the District in the future, so long as the water service to the Applicant pursuant to this agreement is not impaired by said action. Any quantity of the Applicant's allocation not delivered to or used by Applicant by the end of each water year (December 31), shall revert to the water supplies of the District. Such reversion shall not entitle Applicant to any refund of payment made for such water. Water service provided by the District shall be limited to the amount of water available in priority at the original point of diversion of the District's applicable water right, and neither the District, nor those entitled to utilize the District's decrees, may call on any greater amount at new or alternate points of diversion. The District shall request the Colorado State Engineer to estimate any conveyance losses between the original point and any alternate point, and such estimate shall be deducted from this amount in each case. The District, or anyone using the District's decrees, may call on any additional sources of supply that may be available at an alternate point of diversion, (though not at the original point of diversion) only as against water rights which are junior to the date of application for the alternate point of diversion. • 5. Alternate Point of Diversion and Plan of Augmentations Decrees for alternate points of diversion of the District's water rights or storage water may be required in order for Applicant to use the water service contemplated hereunder. Obtaining such decree is the exclusive responsibility of Applicant. The district reserves the exclusive right to review and approve any conditions which may be attached to judicial approval of said alternate point of diversion as contemplated or necessary to serve Applicant's facilities or lands.

Declarant, for each Unit, hereby covenants, and each Unit Owner of any Unit, by acceptance of a deed therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such deed, are deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association annual Common Expense Assessments. Such assessments. including fees, charges, late charges, attorney fees, fines and interest charged by the Association shall be the personal obligation of the Unit Owner at the time when the assessment or other charges became • or fell due. Two or more Unit Owners of a Unit shall be jointly and severally liable for such obligations. The personal obligation to pay any past due sums due the Association shall not pass to a successor in title unless expressly assumed by them. The Common Expense Assessments of the Association shall be a continuing lien upon the Unit against which each such assessment is made. A -4- lien under this Section is prior to all other liens and encumbrances on a Unit except: (a) liens and encumbrances recorded before the recordation of the Declaration; (b) a first lien Security Interest on the Unit recorded before the date on which the Common Expense Assessment sought to be enforced became delinquent; and (c) liens for real estate taxes and other governmental assessments or charges • against the Unit. This Section does not prohibit an action to recover sums for which this Section creates a lien or prohibit the Association from taking a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Sale or transfer of any Unit shall not affect the Association's lien except that sale or transfer of any Unit pursuant to foreclosure of any first lien Security Interest, or any proceeding in lieu thereof, including deed in lieu of foreclosure, or cancellation or forfeiture shall only extinguish the Association's lien as provided in the Act.

Common Expenses shall be allocated and assessed against Units based on a equal share for each Unit. 5.3 Purpose of Assessments. Assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the health, safety and welfare of the residents of River Ridge and for the improvement and maintenance of the Common Elements, including, but not limited to: taxes and insurance on the Common Elements, reserve accounts, the cost of labor, equipment, materials, management and • supervision, the salary or feeof any manager, utilities, transportation,:::professional fees, and other customary barges • 5.4 Annual <`.;`Assessment/.cki i encement o .Common 9> Assessments.

Further, the Association may bring an action at law or in equity, or both, against any Unit Owner personally obligated to pay such overdue assessments, charges or fees, or monthly or other installments thereof, and may also proceed to foreclose its lien against such Unit Owner's Unit.

The Association or Declarant shall require the first Unit Owner of each Unit (other than Declarant) to make a nonrefundable payment to the Association in an amount equal to one-sixth of the annual Common Expense Assessment against that Unit in effect at the closing thereof, which sum shall be held, without interest, by the Association as a "working fund." The working fund • shall be collected and transferred to the Association at the time of closing of each sale by Declarant of each Unit and shall be maintained for the use and benefit of the Association. Such payment shall not relieve a Unit Owner from making regular payments of the assessments when due.
