As outlined below, we have determined that a reliable legal and physical water supply exists to supply all domestic water requirements for the proposed subdivision exemption. This conclusion is based upon a site review of the property, field observations of the springs that will supply domestic water, a review of the water right decreed to the spring, and our substantial experience in water right administration issues in the Colorado River basin. Property Description The subject property is located about one mile south of the Interstate 70 Rulison exit. The proposed subdivision exemption will create two additional parcels of land from an existing single parcel. A total of four residential dwellings will exist on three parcels of land after the exemption. As illustrated on the Potter Exemption Plat (dated 6/26/08), Parcel 1 will be about 8.78 acres in size, and Parcel 2 will be about 4.75 acres in size. Physical Water Availability In-house potable residential water will be supplied from the Potter Springs No. 1 and 2 Pump and Pipeline. These two springs are gathered into a central collection system, from which water is pumped and piped to the three subject parcels of land for domestic, residential and irrigation use. The springs have been reliably used for potable drinking water purposes on the site since the early 1900's. 718 Cooper Avenue Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 (970) 945-2237 Fax (970) 945-2977 Mr. Sam Potter October 8, 2008 - Pg. 2 The location of the collection point for the springs is illustrated on Figures 1 and 2 attached. The springs are located in Section 30 of Township 6. S, Range 94 W. of the 6th P.M. We conducted a site review of the Potter Springs No. 1 and 2 Pump and Pipeline on September 18, 2008. At the time of the site visit, the discharge of the spring was observed to be substantially in excess of 50 gallons per minute (gpm). As you indicated during the site visit, the flow of these springs has seldom been less than the amount that we observed (over 50 gpm), and even during historical drought periods such as 100+ year drought of 2002, the springs have produced enough water to supply four residences, with a substantial amount of excess supply available for lawn and garden, and pasture irrigation. The water quality of the springs is excellent. The springs are low in total dissolved solids and are suitable for domestic use. As previously outlined, the springs have been used for domestic purposes for quite some period of time, and water quality has been consistently suitable for potable use. Accordingly, this source of water is of adequate quantity and quality to supply potable residential water to the three parcels. Even during critical drought periods, a reliable physical water supply will occur. Legal Water Availability An absolute water right for 0.13 cubic feet per second of time (58 gallons per minute) has been adjudicated for the Potter Springs No. 1 and 2 Pump and Pipeline (Attachment 1). The water right was decreed in Civil Action No. 4072 for domestic and other beneficial uses. According to records maintained by the Division of Water Resources, an appropriation date of May 1, 1905 is associated with this water right (Attachment 2). This water right has, and will continue to, provide a reliable legal water supply for domestic uses on the property. The water right will remain in -priority year-round and is not subject to an administrative water right call from any downstream water users. This absolute water right is protected from any downstream call by releases from the Historical Users Pool within Green Mountain Reservoir. The actual location of the water right coincides with the decreed legal description for this source of water. In summary, the Potter Springs No. 1 and 2 Pump and Pipeline will provide a reliable legal and physical supply of water for all parcels associated with the Potter Subdivision Exemption. Mr. Sam Potter October 8, 2008 Pg. 3 Physical water availability from the springs exceeds the amount of water required for in-house potable uses, and the water right that has been adjudicated for the spring is in -priority at all times. We hope this brief assessment if helpful. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This deep, well drained, moderately sloping soil is on mesas, bench- es, and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 7,000 feet. This soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The average annual precipi- tation is about 14 inches, the average annual air tem- perature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost - free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam Iabout 24 inches thick. The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Olney, Kim, and Ildefonso soils that have slopes of 3 to 6 percent. These areas make up 10 to 15 percent of the map unit. Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moder- ate. This soil is used mainly for irrigated crops and hay and for dryland farming (fig. 10). Alfalfa, small grains, and grass -legume hay are grown. Small areas are used for grazing. These soils are usually irrigated by flooding. Drop structures in irrigation ditches, grassed waterways, and minimum tillage prevent serious erosion. Irrigation water should be carefully managed to avoid piping and erosion. Cover crops or stubble mulching also help to limit ero- sion in dryfarmed areas. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat - grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condi- tion. Reducing brush improves the range. Seeding im- proves range in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Pheasant, mourning dove, cottontail rabbit, some mule deer, and squirrel find habitat on this soil. Community development and recreation are limited by low strength and the shrink -swell potential. Dwellings and roads can be designed to overcome these limita- tions. Community sewage systems will be needed if the population density increases. This soil is in capability subclasses Ille, irrigated, and IVe, nonirrigated. 56—Potts loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, moderately sloping to rolling soil is on mesas, benches, and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 7,000 feet. This soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 SOIL SURVEY annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick. The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60 inches.

Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is severe. This soil is used mainly for grazing, wildlife habitat, and some dryland farming (fig. 10). Wheat, barley, and oats are grown. Minimum contour tillage and stubble mulching help to prevent excessive erosion. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat - grass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, undesira- ble weeds and annual plants are numerous. Properly managing grazing improves and maintains range condi- tion. Reducing brush improves range. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for seed- ing. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Community development and recreation are limited by low strength, shrink -swell potential, and slope. Dwellings and roads can be designed to overcome these limita- tions. Community sewage systems will be needed if the population density increases. This soil is in capability subclass IVe, irrigated and nonirrigated. 57—Potts-Ildefonso complex, 3 to 12 percent slopes. These gently sloping to rolling soils are on mesas and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic alluvium and small amounts of eolian material. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of the map unit, and the Ildefonso soils makes up about 30 percent. The Potts soil is on slightly concave positions, and the Ildefonso soil is on the breaks of steeper slopes. The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick. The substratum is pinkish white loam that extends to a depth of 60 inches. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 RIFLE AREA, COLORADO Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa- ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moderate. The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very stony loam that extends to a depth of 60 inches. Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is moderate. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Olney and Kim soils that have slopes of 3 to 12 percent. These areas make up 5 to 15 percent of the map unit. These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and wildlife habitat. The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa- gebrush. When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper- ly managing grazing maintains and improves range con- dition on both soils. Seeding improves range on the Potts soil if it is in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Reducing brush on the Potts soil im- proves the range. Properly managing the vegetation on the ,Ildefonso soil maintains wood production and graz- ing. Selectively thinning pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides firewood, posts, and Christmas trees. The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5, feet tall reach an average diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capacity affects survival of tree seedlings. Mule deer, wild turkey, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail rabbit, and some pheasant find habitat on these soils. Community development is limited on the Potts soil by low strength, shrink -swell potential, and slope. Communi- ty development is limited on the Ildefonso soil by steep slopes. This complex is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated. 58—Potts-Ildefonso complex, 12 to 25 percent slopes. These strongly sloping to hilly soils are on mesas, alluvial fans, and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic alluvium and small amounts of eolian material. The aver- age annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average 33 annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of this unit, and the Ildefonso soil makes up about 30 percent. The Potts soil is in slightly concave positions, and the Ilde- fonso soil is on the breaks of steeper slopes. The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick. The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60 inches. Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa- ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the ero- sion hazard is moderate. The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very stony loam to a depth of 60 inches. Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Morval and Lazear soils. The Morval soils are at the higher elevations. The Lazear soils are shallow and are on ridge crests and steep mountainsides. These areas make up 10 to 18 percent of the map unit. These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and wildlife habitat. The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa- gebrush. When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper- ly managing grazing maintains and improves range con- dition on both soils. Seeding improves range in poor condition in less sloping areas of the Potts soil. Blue - bunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and need- leandthread are suitable for seeding. Preparing the seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Con- trolling brush on the Potts soil improves range that is producing more shrubs than are normally found in the potential plant community. Properly managing the under - story vegetation on the Ildefonso soil maintains wood production and grazing. Selectively thinning pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides firewood, posts, and Christmas trees. The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capacity affects survival of tree seedlings. 34 Mule deer, wild turkey, chukar, gray scjuirrel, cottontail rabbit, and some pheasant find habitat on these soils. The steep slopes limit community development. Struc- tures are needed to divert runoff to minimize gullying and erosion. This complex is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated. 59—Potts-Ildefonso complex, 25 to 45 percent slopes. These hilly to very steep soils are on alluvial fans and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic alluvium and small amounts of eolian material. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of the map unit, and the Ildefonso soil makes up about 30 percent. The Potts soil is in slightly concave positions, and the Ildefonso soil is in the steeper, breaklike areas. The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick. The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60 inches. Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa- ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the ero- sion hazard is severe. The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, very strongly cal- careous very stony loam to a depth of 60 inches. Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium to rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Morval and Lazear soils. The Morval soils are at the higher elevations. The Lazear soils are shallow and are on ridge crests and steep mountainsides. These areas make up 10 to 18 percent of the map unit. These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and wildlife habitat. The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa- gebrush. When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper- ly managing grazing on the Potts soil maintains and improves the range condition. Properly managing the vegetation on the Ildefonso soil maintains wood produc- tion and ground cover. The value for grazing is low SOIL SURVEY because of steep slopes and the tree canopy. Firewood, posts, and Christmas trees can be harvested from the more gently sloping areas. The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available water capacity affects survival of tree seedlings. Steep slopes and the severe erosion affect harvesting. Mule deer, wild turkey, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail rabbit, and some pheasant find habitat on these soils. Community development is limited by very steep slopes. This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. 60—Rhone loam, 5 to 30 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, gently sloping to steep soil is on mountain- sides and ridges. Elevation ranges from 7,600 to 8,600 feet. This soil formed in residuum from sandstone and marlstone. The average annual precipitation is about 20 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 40 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is less than 75 days. Typically, the upper part of the surface layer is brown loam about 8 inches thick, and the lower part is brown sandy clay loam about 20 inches thick. The underlying material is brown extremely channery sandy clay loam about 24 inches thick. Sandstone is at a depth of 52 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Parachute and Northwater soils. The moderately deep Parachute soils are on smooth ridge crests and west - and south -facing side slopes. The Northwater Soils are on north -facing side slopes. These areas make up about 10 to 15 percent of the map unit. Permeability is moderate, and available water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 40 to 60 inches. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing. The native vegetation is mainly brome, needlegrass, and sagebrush. There are small areas of dwarfed aspen, but they are of little or no commercial value. When range condition deteriorates, forbs, shrubs, and Kentucky bluegrass increase. Properly managing grazing maintains and improves range condition. Seeding and remoying brush improve range on less sloping areas if it is in poor condition. Intermediate wheatgrass, slender wheatgrass, and mountain or smooth brome are suitable for seeding. Preparing the seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Elk, mule deer, coyote, grouse, and rabbit find habitat on this soil. Use of this soil for community development or as a source of construction material is limited by steep slopes. 106 TABLE 7. --BUILDING SITE DEVELOPMENT --Continued SOIL SURV4'.

WHEREAS, Declarant is the owner in fee of those real properties described as Parcels 1, 2, and 3 on the plat of the Potter Subdivision Exemption, Garfield County, Colorado. Said Parcels 1, 2, and 3 are referred to hereinafter collectively as "the Parcels." WHEREAS, Declarant is the owner of a surface water right located on Parcel 3, Potter Subdivision Exemption (the "Surface Water Right") and decreed as Potter Springs No. 1 and 2 Pump and Pipeline, Case No. 4072, District Court, Water Division No. 5, Garfield County, Colorado, for 0.13 cubic feet per second of time (58 gallons per minute) for, inter alia, domestic use; and WHEREAS, by this Declaration, it is the intent of Declarant to establish a regime governing the joint use of the Surface. Water Right by the future owners of the Parcels (the "Owners"). NOW THEREFORE, the Declarant sets forth the regime governing joint use of the Surface Water Right by the future Owners of the Parcels as follows: 1. The Owner of Parcel 1 shall be deemed to own an undivided one- tenth share, the Owner of Parcel 2 shall be deemed to own an undivided one-tenth share, and the Owner of Parcel 3 shall be deemed to own and undivided eight/tenths share of the subject Surface Water Right, pump, fittings at the Surface Water Right diversion point, meters (whether existing now or to be installed at a later time), pumphouse, foot valves, and any pipes or pipelines and any other structures which are jointly used. 2. No Owner is deemed to have any ownership right in and to any pipe, pipeline or other structure used or required solely by the Owner of another of the Parcels which may utilize any portion of the water flowing from this Surface Water Right and its structures. This Declaration does not intend to relate to such individually owned or used rights or structures. Nothing in this Declaration shall be construed to give any Owner any rights to such non -shared property of the other Owner nor to obligate any Owner to pay any costs associated with non -shared structures. 3. The Owners shall cooperate with each other at all times in all matters necessary to promote the proper construction, completion and functioning and use of the water system in such manner as to provide to their respective uses an optimum water supply on demand at all times possible based upon the natural availability of water. The Owners shall agree to not waste water and to endeavor to use no more than their respective shares of the available water. At this time it is agreed that no individual water meters must be installed. If at any time after the date hereof, any Owner requires that meters be installed, then each of the Owners shall install meters at their individual expense. Waste or over -use shall be deemed to be a violation of this Declaration for RETURN Tat $TUNER. LEMOINE & CLIFTON, P.C. 120 WEST THIRD STREET P.O. BOX 907 jaE, COLORADO 61650 which the non -defaulting owner may seek remedy at law or equity for damages or for injunctive relief, or both. Uses of the Surface Water Right by the Owners of Parcels 1 and 2 shall be limited to domestic use. In the event the water physically available from the Surface Water Rightis less than the legally available amount, then each Owner shall proportionately reduce the consumption of same to the amount actually available. Any household use of the Surface Water Right water must provide for return flow through an individual disposal system of the non -evaporative type, returning the water to the watershed in which the Surface Water Right is located. 4. Declarant shall be responsible for the initial cost of constructing the Surface Water Right system, pump house, and any jointly used pipe lines. Following the initial construction, the actual and continuing costs of operation, maintenance, construction, extension, upgrading, cleaning, repairing and all other work required on shared components ofthis water system to cause the water at the Surface Water Right to become and remain available to deliver water to the Owners shall be shared by the Owners in proportion to their share in the Surface Water Right. This Declaration shall relate only to costs incurred after the date hereof. Electrical charges for the operation of the Surface Water Right shall be shared in proportion to the water allocated to each Owner. No operational costs will be charged to any Owner until such owner actually makes a physical connection to the Surface Water Right and begins using water from same. 5. Subject to the provisions in paragraph 4 above, any Owner who has been using water from this system and at any time elects not to share in costs, necessary repairs, maintenance, replacement and the like necessary to maintain the Surface Water Right and deliver the subject water, shall not receive water from the system. At such time as said electing Owner chooses to resume use of water from the system said Owner may do so upon reimbursement to the other user the full cost of said Owner's share of such expenditures with legal interest retroactive to the expenditure date. 6. The Owners agree to cooperate in the future maintenance, operation, repair, replacement or improvement of all common facilities. In the event the Owners are unable to agree on any required maintenance, repair, replacement or improvement, any Owner shall be entitled to undertake the minimal maintenance, repair, replacement or improvement necessary and essential for proper functioning of the common facilities. In the event an Owner determines to undertake such work unilaterally, such Owner shall notify the other owners in writing. The Owner undertaking the work shall, upon completion, provide the other Owner with a written statement of work performed and the other Owner's proportionate share of the cost of same. In the event an Owner fails to pay the proportionate share of any amount due within thirty (30) days after presentment, the Owner which has paid such cost and expense shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available at law or in equity. The Court, in its discretion, may award to the prevailing party Court costs and attorney's fees incurred. 7. Declarant hereby creates and reserves permanent, non-exclusive easements across the portions of Parcel 3 and Parcell designated as "Waterline Easement" on the final plat of the Potter Subdivision Exemption, as necessary and sufficient the benefit of the Owners of Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, as a user of the Surface Water Right, pump and common pipeline and 2 treatment system and structures, and also creates and reserve a non-exclusive easement for non - shared or individual pipelines conveying water to the respective Parcel over and across said "Waterline Easement." 8. Each Owner shall agree to not interfere at any time with the proper use by any other Owner of its interest in any water structure and shall indemnify and hold harmless all other Owner and users from any loss or damage or injury caused by the acts of said indemnifying owner. 9. The term hereof shall be perpetual. 10.

Each Owner shall implement a weed management program within the area of his Parcel. In the event an Owner fails to effectively control noxious weeds on his Lot, the other owners and/or the County shall have the right to enter upon the Parcel and conduct a weed control program. The weed management plan will consist of the following components. 1. Prevention and Control. The quick revegetation of disturbed areas with weed- free grass seed and the maintenance of native or introduced vegetation in a healthy, vigorous condition producing optimum vegetative densities will leave noxious seeds little opportunity to establish. 2. Inventory. Each Parcel will be inspected at least annually to identify any infestations of noxious weeds. An accurate record will be kept of the application and success of weed eradication efforts. 3. Eradication. Elimination of noxious weeds will be achieved through the use of all of the following methods, as necessary: A. Mechanical controls to physically remove the entire weed plant or eliminate the plant's ability to produce seed. B. Biological controls relying on organisms (insect or plant pathogens) to interfere with weed growth. C. Chemical controls using herbicides to eliminate weeds. A current weed inventory is attached. At present, noxious weeds identified on the property include S et fur lu . The Noxious Weed Management Plan for the property will ` S be used to contain the spread of c; ) � k,E l� �... and eliminate the ✓ ,, s ; ;-�/ � .

As to item No.1, Sam Potter (the applicant) is the owner of the underlying minerals. Language has been added to Exhibit 4 to clearly identify him as the mineral owner. As to item No. 2, the assessor map and the names of adjacent owners has been added to Exhibit 4. As to item No. 3, the plat has been revised to include a description of the remainder parcel. As to item No. 4, parcel number 2173-254-00-004 is not contained within the deed submitted for exemption. It was acquired separately from the parcel which is the subject of this application. As to item No. 5, a narrative and a graphic representation of the chain of title are included in section 6 and Exhibit 3 of the application. As to item No. 6, our search of the title records for the subject property did not show any dedication of the county roads. Sam Potter is willing to dedicate the right-of-way for the county roads contained within exemption plat. I hope this revised application answers the questions raised in your November 13, 2008 letter. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Sincerely, Stuver, LeMoine & Clifton, P.C. Barbara L. Clifton cc: Sam Potter
