Box 1009 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81602 March 6, 1996 Mr. Mark Bean Garfield County Planning Department 109 8th Street - Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 Dear Mr. Bean: 1785g (7-880) In response to your request for comments regarding the proposed Los Amigos Ranch amended Planned Unit Development (PUD) Sketch Plan, I offer the following statements for your scheduled March 13, 1996 public meeting. The southern edge of the 2206 acre tract is adjacent to public lands administered by this office. A vast portion of the adjacent BLM parcel has evolved over the past 20 years into an intensive Off Highway Vehicle use area with numerous trails and roads traversing it. With proposed housing slated to be built directly adjacent to BLM (80 single family units over 60 acres), there is an obvious need to consider more closely the future management of the BLM parcel. The proposed subdivision is expected to increase dispersed recreation on the adjacent public land. Increased OHV use and related impacts could likely occur. The proposed network of streets within the high density single family homes includes a road that is directly adjacent to BLM with no evident buffer of lots or open space between the PUD and public land. I am concerned that this proposed road location will merely provide an uncontrolled public access point to BLM when restrictions to vehicle access would seem to be the likely answer. I think it is vitally important that this parcel continue to be managed as open space, perhaps with some limitations placed on certain uses Some obvious controls to consider would be a closure or limitation on vehicles and hunting. The increase in people and their likelihood to use the adjacent public land appears to warrant the need for these restrictions. If this PUD amendment is approved, we would be willing to work with the proponent to develop and identify a solution to mitigate potential recreation and OHV use problems on the neighboring BLM land. I envision a strategy that could involve cooperative management by the BLM and developer (perhaps through the Homeowners Association) to resolve these likely use conflicts. Another important consideration for managing the BLM as open space is to provide a big game movement corridor through the public lands between the Roaring Fork River and the upland mesa. The need for this travel corridor would seem evident given the development that has and will occur on the nearby private lands. After review of our records, it should be noted that there are various parcels within the PUD that have minerals reserved to the United States. The developer and the County should be aware that in the future, mining claims could be located and mineral leases or permits could be issued. Also, use of building stone, moss rock, gravel, or any other mineral material from lands with federal mineral ownership would require a permit from the BLM. According to our records, no minerals within the PUD are currently under lease. Furthermore, the potential for economic development of the leasable and locatable minerals in the vicinity, within the foreseeable future, is considered to be low. Any roads or utilities such as water, electric, phone or otherwise crossing BLM would require right-of-way (ROW) permits from this office. An environmental assessment report would be completed as a part of the ROW permitting process. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If there are any questions, please contact Jim Byers of this office at 945-2341.

As we discussed last week, many of the cul-de-sacs are in excess of the 600 -foot county road standard. 1 feel that they generally do not present any unusual access or egress problems. Most of the roads pass through the flatter open areas containing less vegetation. Overall the subdivision is benefitted by the fact that the areas of dense vegetation are broken up by flatter open areas. The roads in the eastern end of the subdivision (filing 5) have been configured with loops allowing for alternate access around the areas with higher wildfire potential, Greg has also identified two additional areas where emergency access roads could be added to provide for alternate access in case of a wildfire. One of these would utilize the road access to the proposed water tank and would allow access to a relatively safe open area near the water tank. The second would originate north ofPinion Drive and come out north of Cedar Cove. These emergency accesses should be constructed to provide a 20 -foot unobstructed clearance for vehicles but would not require paving. I also review the proposed "Drive D" which accesses five lots in filing 5. Greg has proposed providing a double lane width accessing the first three lots with a single lane accessing the last two lots. An approved turnaround would be provided at the point where the road makes the lane transition. T feel that this would be acceptable. 07/09/96 15:05 CARBONDALE FIRE DISTRICT -> 9457755 VW NO.001 DO3 The northwestern part of the subdivision designated for future filing is serviced by a single road through the subdivision.

I would offer the following comments regarding fire protection to the subdivision. Access throughout the subdivision appears to be adequate. All cul-de-sacs should be constructed with a minimum 50 foot radius. The proposed central water system will greatly improve the available fire flows throughout the subdivision. Response time to the subdivision is approximately 10 to 15 minutes with first response coming from Station No. 4, located on County Road 154. The developer will be required to enter into a contract with the District for the payment of development impact fees in the amount of $235.00 per lot as approved by the Garfield County Commissioners. This payment is due prior to the recording of the final plat. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Lochhead Executive Director �a ...Michael B. Long Division Director Vicki Cowart State Geologist and Director Re: Filings 2A and 5, Los Amigos Ranch Residential Development -- Spring Valley Area Garfield County Dear Mr. Bean: At your request and in accordance with S.B. 35 (1972), we have reviewed the materials submitted for and made a field inspection of the site of these proposed to be modified filings of Los Amigos Ranch. As you know, we have reviewed earlier plats for various parts of this project and, in a general way, all of our previous comments apply to these revised filings. The following comments summarize our findings. (1) Considering that, effectively, this proposal simply reduces the density of development in areas that were originally approved for higher density multi -family residential to single- family on larger lots, the effects of adverse geologic conditions are probably reduced also. We do recommend that each building site have an individual soils and foundation investigation by a qualified soils and foundation engineer, however, and that his recommendations be expressly followed. In Filing 2A (one lot), slope stability and foundation -type selection concerns probably will be the most serious whereas the much higher density development proposed for Filing 5 will have to consider the construction problems in the predominantly basalt bedrock as well as infrastructure issues. Filing 5 is mostly not suitable for individual sewage -disposal systems because of the fractured bedrock and the potential for solution collapse in the Eagle Valley Evaporite which underlies the basalt. We strongly concur with the plans to develop this area with a central sewer system. (2) In the case of Filing 5, the submitted geologic hazards evaluation by CTL Thompson, Inc., Glenwood Springs, adequately summarizes the potential geologic hazards that must be addressed while developing this parcel. Whoever buys and plans to build on Filing 2A should have a detailed hazards evaluation made prior to selection of a building site; costly and difficult to mitigate problems may occur if this is not done. In summary and as is the case with other parts of Los Amigos Ranch, these development Mr. Mark Bean July 18, 1996 Page 2 proposals are entirely feasible from a geologic standpoint if the recommendations made above and previously are followed.

In other words, multistory multi -family building has less impact. After reviewing the current proposal for changes to the Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D., it is my opinion that moving the proposed development back away from the rim of the plateau will reduce the disturbance to wildlife forced to winter on the steep southwest facing slopes. Whether or not this will offset the increased number of houses in the northwest portion of the P.U.D. is an interesting question. The developers wish to eliminate fences will improve the ease of wildlife movement through the development. If they would consider eliminating some lots at the ends of the open space corridors or situating the building envelopes to allow a 300 foot wide access to the steep slopes, it would further improve the ability of wildlife to move through the area. Control of dogs is essential to the survival of wildlife in winter conditions. Thank yo t for the opportunity to comment.

Water Division 5, Water District 38 Dear Mr. Bean: JUL 0 1996 ,30eifian COY Roy Romer Governor James S. Lochhead Executive Director Hal D. Simpson State Engineer We have reviewed the subject preliminary plan which proposes to create a total of 39 single-family dwellings on approximately 227 acres located in filings 5 and 2A. The proposed water supply is to be provided through a central system operated by the Red Canyon Water Company (Company). A letter of commitment from the Company was included in the submittal material. A letter from Mr. Loyal E. Leavenworth, dated May 1, 1996, indicated that the Company presently provides water service to 48 apartments and the existing platted lots located within Filing Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4, Subdivision No. 11, Los Amigos Ranch PUD. At full buildout, the PUD is projected to include a total of 327 single-family homes and 96 apartments. Total annual water demand at buildout will be 194 acre-feet, and consumptive use will be approximately 68 acre-feet. The 68 acre-feet of depletions are to be augmented by a water allotment contract for 75 acre-feet with the Basalt Water Conservancy District (District), and pursuant to a plan for augmentation, which was approved by the Division 5 Water Court in case no. 87CW155. The PUD is currently supplied by two wells, known as the Rancho Los Amigos Well No. 6 (permit no. 40906-F) and the Los Amigos Ranch Well No. 5 (permit no. 18147). Well No. 6 is decreed in Division 5 Water Court case nos. W-3873, W-3893, and 94CW36 for 300 gallons per minute for municipal use, and Well No. 5 is decreed in case no. W-2156 for 300 gallons per minute for municipal use. Ownership of the water rights used to supply this PUD belongs to the Los Amigos Ranch Partnership. These water rights are leased to the Company for a period of 50 years with a 40 year renewal option. A report dated April 30, 1996, prepared by Schmueser Gordon Meyer, Inc., indicated that Well No. 5 had been test pumped at 110 gallons per minute, and Well No. 6 had been test pumped at 400 gallons per minute. The combined yield of the two wells exceeds the estimated required peak day pumping rate at buildout of 360 gallons per minute. Pursuant to Section 30-28-136(1)(h)(I), C.R.S., we believe the proposed water supply appears adequate, and injury to decreed water rights will not occur, as long as the Company operates pursuant to the decreed water rights and plan for augmentation which are leased from the Los Amigos Ranch Partnership. Mr. Mark Bean June 26, 1996 Page 2 Should you have further questions or comments regarding the water supply for this project, please contact Jeff Deatherage at this office.

After touring much of the area, I would offer the following comments regarding the road layout in the subdivision, As we discussed last week, many of the cul-de-sacs are in excess of the 600 -foot county road standard. 1 feel that they generally do not present any unusual access or egress problems. Most of the roads pass through the flatter open areas containing less vegetation. Overall the subdivision is benefitted by the fact that the areas of dense vegetation are broken up by flatter open areas. The roads in the eastern end of the subdivision (filing 5) have been configured with loops allowing for alternate access around the areas with higher wildfire potential. Greg has also identified two additional areas where emergency access roads could be added to provide for alternate access in case of a wildfire. One of these would utilize the road access to the proposed water tank and would allow access to a relatively safe open area near the water tank. The second would originate north of Pinion Drive and come out north of Cedar Cove. These emergency accesses should be constructed to provide a 20 -foot unobstructed clearance for vehicles but would not require paving. I also review the proposed "Drive 13" which accesses five lots in filing 5. Greg has proposed providing a double lane width accessing the first three lots with a single lane accessing the last two lots. An approved turnaround would be provided at the point where the road makes the lane transition. 1 feel that this would be acceptable. 07/09/96 15:05 CARBONDALE FIRE DISTRICT 4 9457785 NO.001 DO3 The northwestern part of the subdivision designated for future filing is serviced by a single road through the subdivision. This area is characterized by large areas of open grass meadows with some narrow gulches. These open areas could provide "safe" areas for the residents in case of a wildfire although they would require some maintenance by the homeowners.

This area is also served by multiple drinking water wells downslope and downstream from the proposed septic systems. We do not recommend that any subdivision be split among usage regarding ISDS and central sewer. For example, it would be more preferrable if the subdivision Filing 2A were served entirely by central sewer and not partially ISDS and partially sewer.

The county has requested our comments and the governor and others have indicated that state agencies will provide technical expertise as part of "Smart Growth". In the interests of "Smart Growth" and in the interests of protecting drinking water supplies [public community and noncommunity water systems as well as private drinking water wells] downslope and downstream we cannot recommend that the lots in Filings 2 and 2A be on ISDS when central sewer service is available in the existing filing and there is existing capacity in the wastewater treatment facility. In fact, Spring Valley Sanitation District has submitted before the Division an application for expansion of this wastewater treatment plant. One would suppose that a newly expanded wastewater treatmen facility would welcome new taps. Recommendations and Conclusions: To be consistent, we generally recommend any lot that can be served sewer be so served. It may be inconvenient, however, we would not be protecting the public health to recommend that these lots be on ISDS when central sewer is available and in this case is actually serving part of the subdivsion and even part of the affected filing of the proposed subdivision.

SLOAT September 16, 1996 Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County Garfield County Courthouse 109 8th Street Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: County Road 114 - Los Amigos Ranch - Colorado Mountain College Dear Commissioners: This firm represents Colorado Mountain College. As you know there has been discussion during the past year about the alignment of County Road 114 on CMC property at the entrance to Los Amigos Ranch. The road was moved a number of years ago, with the result that a section of the road is entirely within CMC property, and there is a strip of CMC land on the west side of the road at the entrance to Los Amigos. I understand that there has been some recent discussion and some possible confusion about the status of discussions to remedy the land ownership issues in this area. The purpose of this letter is to give you a short status report from CMC's point of view. As to the CMC land on which the County Road is located, CMC is willing to grant a perpetual easement to the County, or if required by the County, to convey title of that land to the County by quit claim deed, upon agreement on a legal description. CMC would prefer an easement. Los Amigos Ranch Partnership has had a survey prepared by Schmueser-Gordon-Meyer, and the legal description thereon is acceptable to CMC. As to the CMC land west of the County Road, at the entrance to Los Amigos Ranch, CMC is not willing to convey title to Los Amigos Ranch Partnership. It is contrary to CMC Board practice to parcel off its publicly -owned land to private ownership. CMC is, however, more than willing to grant an easement for the construction and maintenance of road and landscaping improvements, or is willing to enter into a long term lease. Alternatively, CMC is willing to swap its land for some of Los Amigos' land along their common boundary. Los Amigos' attorney Larry Green recently indicated to me that a land swap may be Board of County Commissioners of Garfield County September 16, 1996 Page 2 possible, and I anticipate that he and I will discussing that option in the near future. Please feel free to contact CMC Vice -President Bob Spuhler (945-8691) or me if you have any questions. Yours very truly, enn D.

Your correspondence was used in a Preliminary Plat hearing held before the Garfield County Planning and Zoning Commission on July 10, 1996. Because of the last minute nature of your correspondence, we were unable to discuss it with you prior to the meeting. The Garfield County Attorney and Planning Director have taken the position that a recommendation from your office will be utilized as a condition of approval and will not be subject to discussion or revision by the County. Their interpretation of your correspondence is that the lot subject to Filing 2A must be connected to the central sewer system. Prior to making the Preliminary Plat submission, we had analyzed the economic and practical feasibility of connecting this lot to the existing central sewer system. Our conclusion was that no such feasibility existed and there was some question whether it should even be considered from an engineering perspective. We would like to share the facts surrounding this lot with you and ask for your reconsideration. !n your recommendation, you discussed the "existing sewerline serving nearby lots". While, in fact, this lot is adjacent to previously platted lots within the Los Amigos Ranch PUD, it is LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 2250 HORIZONTAL FEET AND 185 VERTICAL FEET BELOW THE NEAREST SEWERLINE. Please be aware that Filing 2A is a 27.03 acre parcel of which 22.27 acres is being deeded as Open Space and the remaining 4.76 acres as an individual lot. The lots that you refer to that are nearby are, in fact, immediately adjacent to this lot from a boundary standpoint. They are part of Subdivision 2, Filing 2 of the Los Amigos Ranch Subdivision, which was approved by the County about five years ago as large, rural lots. These lots have all been sold to individual homeowners and are serviced by individual sewage disposal systems. They are also over 2000 feet from the nearest sewerline. We have estimated the cost to provide for a central sewer system to this building site in excess of $80,000. The only pumping equipment we could find that would provide the almost 200 feet of TDH needed to service this lot would pump in excess of 100 gpm, clearly not compatible with an individual household. July 29, 1996 Mr. Dwain Watson Page 2 We trust the above additional information will allow you to re-evaluate your recommendation and concur with our conclusion that it is economically and practically infeasible to connect this individual rural lot to a central sewer system. We would ask you to E-mail your response to Mark Bean as soon as possible so the subsequent Board of County Commissioners hearing can take place in a timely fashion. As always, I will remain available to provide further input as appropriate. Thank you in advance for your additional review of this situation. Respectfully submitted, SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC.

I was hired to review the proposed Water Rights and Water Facilities Transfer Agreement wherein Los Amigos Ranch Partnership ("LARP") is to transfer certain water rights and water facilities to the Los Amigos Ranch Homeowners Association ("Association"). The Association has reached an agreement in principal with LARP concerning the terms of the proposed transfer, although that agreement has not yet been signed. While we have agreed upon the terms of the transfer, we have not yet agreed upon the exact date of the transfer. It will be necessary for the Association to enter a Management and Operations Agreement with some entity to run the water system on behalf of the Association. At this time, we anticipate that entity will be the Red Canyom Water Company which currently operates the system. We anticipate entering a ten year Operations Agreement with the Red Canyon Water Company. We anticipate finalizing both the Transfer Agreement and a Maintenance and Operations Agreement within the next few weeks. The Homeowners Association does not object to approval of the final plat provided recording of the final plat is subject to final execution of the Transfer Agreement and a subsequent Management and Operations Agreement.

Prior to our purchase of a lot at Los Amigos Ranch, we satisfied ourselves that the water company was on sound footing, and we have seen nothing to change that opinion. We are not at all sure that we would choose to assume the responsibility, expense and liability of owning a complex utility. We understand that Los Amigos Ranch is submitting a preliminary plat for approval which would address this issue. We have no desire to interfere with that process or delay their filing in any way, however we urge you to table the matter of transfer of ownership of Red Canyon Water Company to a later date, such as the Final Plat Approval, so that we might have time to assess our position as homeowners being required to assume a responsibility for which we are not prepared.

After touring much of the area, I would offer the following comments regarding the road layout in the subdivision. As we discussed last week, many of the cul-de-sacs are in excess of the 600 -foot county road standard, I feel that they generally do not present any unusual access or egress problems. Most of the roads pass through the flatter open areas containing less vegetation. Overall the subdivision is benefitted by the fact that the areas of dense vegetation are broken up by flatter open areas. The roads in the eastern end of the subdivision (fling 5) have been configured with loops allowing for alternate access around the areas with higher wildfire potential. Greg has also identified two additional areas where emergency access roads could be added to provide for alternate access in case of a wildfire. One of these would utilize the road access to the proposed water tank and would allow access to a relatively safe open area near the water tank. The second would originate north of Pinion Drive and come out north of Cedar Cove. These emergency accesses should be constructed to provide a 20 -foot unobstructed clearance for vehicles but would not require paving. C also review the proposed "Drive D" which accesses five lots in filing 5. Greg has proposed providing a double lane width accessing the first three Tots with a single lane accessing the last two lots. An approved turnaround would be provided at the point where the road makes the lane transition. [ feel that this would be acceptable. The northwestern part of the subdivision designated for future filing is serviced by a single road through the subdivision. This area is characterized by large areas of open grass meadows with some narrow gulches. These open areas could provide "safe" areas for the residents in case of a wildfire although they would require some maintenance by the homeowners. Please contact me if you have any questions. i11 Gavette Fire Marshal cc: Greg Boecker dwatson@wic.net, 09:58 AM 3/4/96 , comments on subdiv prelim plan 1 Return -Path: <dwatson@wic.net> X -U I D L: 826036032.000 Comments: Authenticated sender is <dwatson@rodin.wic.net> From: dwatson@wic.net (Dwain Watson) To: mbean@asw.infosphere.com Date: Mon, 4 Mar 1996 09:58:05 -0700 Subject: comments on subdiv prelim plans Reply -To: dwatson@wic.net X -Confirm -Reading -To: dwatson@wic.net X-Pmrqc: 1 Return -Receipt -To: dwatson@wic.net Priority: normal Mark: We have received the Los Amigos Ranch PUD rezone application. The information provided is somewhat limited in nature and scope. There is a potential problem with slopes in the Tots and possibly distance to bedrock. The design engineer states that Spring Valley Sanitation District could be easily expanded. During site application review for such expansion the engineer will need to explore alternatives such as consolidation with a regional facility as required by statute. If these lots are going to pump up to Spring Valley Sanitation, could one then assume that they could pump in any direction? The large Tots that are within the district and proposed to be served by ISDS; will these lot owners be paying mill levies in their property tax to the sanitation district? If these ISDS fail will they be allowed to connect and will there be capacity for them, since they are in the district and possibly paying taxes to the sanitation district.
