BOX 192 -`� .., 1978 RIFLE, COLORADO 81650 CARL',itto July 5, 1979 CV• FuFR h: d (303) 625-1075 Mr. Ray Baldwin County Planner 2014 Blake Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 SUBJECT: O'Connell subdivision exemption Dear Ray, As you will recall, earlier last month, the Commissioners reviewed a proposed subdivision exemption in the SW4SW4i Section 27, Tp. 7 S., R. 92 W., 6th P.M., whereby Charles and Daniel O'Connell intended to split a forty -acre section into two parcels of 35 and 5 acres each. At that time, the Commissioners deferred taking action, because there was some question as to the supply of domestic water. Since that time, the original purchaser has terminated her contract, and we have entered into a new contract to sell the property to Mr.and Mrs. Glenn Gaasch. The Gaasches own the 40 acres immediately to the North of the subject water, and could resolve the domestic water situation in one of two ways. In the first place, they have recently constructed a well approximately 200 feet North of the property line, which could be used to furnish domestic water to this property, if that was desired; secondly, they own 8 shares in the Divide Creek High -Line Ditch Company, which flows through the subject property. If domestic water were to be used, they could use a cistern from the High -Line Ditch. It is the Gaasches intention to use this property only for stock watering purposes anyway, and to integrate it with their ranching operations. I hope that this resolves the problem, and that the subdivision exemption can be issued shortly. If you have any questions about this, please contact this office. Also, would you please furnish a couple of applications for Senate Bill 35 for future use. Thank you.

KUIPER State Engineer j" 1379 We have reviewed the above referenced application for exemption. The wells proposed as the water supply would intercept ground water which is tributary to Divide Creek, an over -appropriated stream. Since these wells would cause injury to senior vested water rights, well permits cannot be issued by this office and we cannot recommend approval of the O'Connell Exemption. Very truly yours, Hal D. Simpson, Chief Water Management Branch For: Dr. Jeris A. Danielson Deputy State Engineer HDS:GDV:mvf cc: Lee Enewold, Div. Eng. Ralph Stallman • STATEMENT ON SOURCE OF DOMESTIC WATER AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL: This property is located some distance from any ditch, and no ditch rights are to be conveyed herewith. Nonetheless, domestic wells have been an acceptable alternative for providing water in this area, as have septic tank disposal systems.
