E. PROPOSED FINAL PLAT NOTES
The following are proposed as notes appropriate for inclusion on final plats within the Spring
Valley Ranch Planned Unit Development:
1. Certain building envelope locations may be subject to geologic and hydrologic conditions
that require consideration in the design of structures at these locations. At the time of
building permit application, all structures shall require the submittal of a site-specific soils
and foundation investigation report addressing soils and geologic conditions, foundation
design and drainage prepared by a registered professional engineer. All site construction
shall be conducted in accordance with the engineer's recommendations. [See Condition
12.0 of Garfield County Commissioner's Resolution 2005-84.]
2. Prior to submittal for building permit on any portion of the Spring Valley Ranch PUD,
Owners of individual parcels/ lots shall provide a site plan, a grading plan, a drainage plan
and a site-specific foundation and geotechnical investigation report to the Design Review
Board for Spring Valley PUD for the lot to be constructed upon. Subsequent to review and
approval of the plans for development by the Design Review Board, the lot Owner shall
then begin the building permit process with Garfield County.

3. All exterior lighting shall be the minimum amount necessary and all exterior lighting will
be directed inward and downward, towards the interior of the subdivision, except that
provisions may be made to allow for safety lighting that goes beyond the property
boundaries. [See Condition 29.01 of Garfield County Commissioner's Resolution 2005-
84.]
4. Colorado is a right -to -farm state pursuant to C.R.S. § 35-3-101 et. seq. Landowners,
residents and visitors must be prepared to accept the activities, sights, sounds and smells
of Garfield County's agricultural operations as a necessary aspect of living in a County
with a strong rural character and a healthy ranching sector. All must be prepared to
encounter noises, odor, lights, mud, dust, smoke, chemicals, machinery on public roads,
livestock on public roads, storage and disposal of manure, and the application by spraying
or otherwise of chemical fertilizers, soil amendments, herbicides and pesticides, any one
or more of which may naturally occur as a result of legal and non -negligent agricultural
operations. [See Condition 29.02 of Garfield County Commissioner's Resolution 2005-
84.]
5. All owners of land, whether ranch or residence, have obligations under State law and
County regulations with regard to the maintenance of fences and irrigation ditches,
controlling weeds, keeping livestock and pets under control, using property in accordance
with zoning, and other aspects of using and maintaining property. Residents and
landowners are encouraged to learn about these rights and responsibilities and act as good
neighbors and citizens of the County. A good introductory source for such information is
"A Guide to Rural Living & Small Scale Agriculture" put out by the Colorado State
University Extension Office in Garfield County. [See Condition 29.03 of Garfield County
Commissioner's Resolution 2005-84.]
6. No new wood burning open hearth fire places shall be allowed within the development.
One solid fuel burning stove, as defined in CRS Sec. 25-7-401 et seq. and regulations
promulgated there under, is allowed in each dwelling unit.
