Eric said he spoke with Kelly Wood of the Colorado Division of Wildlife Management and she stated that the following wording (in general) must be contained in the Association documents for Pinyon Mesa and that this should complete our obligation for the Elk Management Plan. "Let it be known that the Pinyon Mesa Subfivision is located adjacent to hunting areas and that there may, on occasion, be hunting on adjacent BLVI land. Furthermore, the Pinyon Mesa subdivision may not restrict hunting beyond subdivision boundaries." I forwarded this information to the Pinyon Mesa consulting attorney, Robyn Myler, for incorporation to the Declaration of Covenants 6s Conditions as referred by Section2.42 - a recorded document of the Wildlife Analysis Impact Mitigation Report for the Common Interest Community. Attached are excerpts taken from the revised Pinyon Mesa Declaration. Let me know if require any additional documentation.

Currently, Pinyon Mesa Development Inc. is the owner of all of the real property known as Pinyon Mesa, Filing I except for Parcel A, which is owned by Pinyon Mesa Holdings LLC. The development was preliminarily approved via Resolution 2007-04. These materials respond to the conditions of approval of the Preliminary Plan as documented in Resolution No. 2OO7-04. Those conditions and the applicant's response to them are articulated below: 1.

The Applicant shall prepare this plan to be submitted with the final plat documents so that the County can review prior to final plat approval. A Soil Management Plan is included within this application. Prior to filing of this Final Plat Application, Garfield County approved an application for a Grading Permit on this property and received a bond for reclamation. Construction of the improvements beganin March, and the majority of the Phase 1 improvements are complete. (See documentation included with the attached SIA). The stockpiles of topsoil will be spread over the disturbed area, the site sill be graded and re-vegetation will be completed during the 2007 construction season. The Applicant proposes that the previous bond be released and be replaced with a Letter of Credit that will guarantee the success of the revegetation. 253 Silver Lode Drive Aspen, Colorado 81611 Jlur;Le29,2007 Page 5 of 5 Mr. Fred Jarman 17.

The Final Plat Section 5:00 1) The owner's certification must only cite the current owner of the subject property (Pinyon Mesa Development, LLC is incorrect); 2) County Surveyor certification is incorrect (not complete see Subdivision Regulations); 3) Land use breakdown including total acreage, total number of lots, total acreage devoted to each use (e.9., single family residential, street, open space) must be included on the plat (55:24 B Subdivision Regulations) 4) Name and Address of Mineral Rights owners required. 5) Cost estimate for improvements must be certified by a P.E.; 6) Garfield County Surveyor provided the following comments a) Drawings on Sheet 2 and Sheet 3 are not to scale; b) ParcelA on Sheet 3 has a closure error of 24.47'; c) Roadway centerline annotation is needed; C. Garfield County Attorney Comments The following are comments provided by Garfield County Aftorney's Office regarding the Subdivision lmprovementsAgreement, Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions and Title Certificate. SlA:1. Has signature line for only Pinyon Mesa Development, lnc. (See #1, above.) I assume this will be signed by the Pres of the Corp. The signature and deed seem inconsistent with the First 2 Whereas clauses that mention an'owne/'and a idevelopef.2. Legal descrip says 26.690 acrcs - does that match plat? 3. Exhibit B (para 4, page 3) is the Eng Cert, but it is not stamped and it is not marked as "Exhibit B". This Exhibit shows the cost of what is left to complete and is a cert of full cost (adding back in what is already complete). Please see # 8, below. Further, I do not see a contingency amount. Am I missing a line item?4. The Notice document is marked Exhibit B; it is C per para 11. However, the form Letter of Credit (aftached) is also labeled C in Para 4 a.5. lt would be helpful if the SIA was titled to include, "a subdivision of the Los Amigos PUD' or some such language. DOES THE PLAT REFERENCE THE ENTIRE PUD? 2 108 Eighth Street, Suite 401 . Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 (970) 945-8212. (970) 285-7972. Fax: (970) 384-3470 L Garfteld County BUILDING & PIA,NNING DEPARTMENT 6. The SIA's use of the terms "Final Plaf and'Plat Documents" is confusing. lwillsend the Lawyer(s) our usual reference to "Final Plat Documents."7. Why does this Filing 1/Phase 1 include a definition of "Future Development Parcel"? ls Phase ll shown on this Phase One FinalPlat?8. Para4. The form language for rebrencing the securtty fior a partially complete subdivision is:9. Para 4 d needs to reference both Letters of Credit 10. Para 4 e has inconect intemal reference. 11. Para 5 oir Water Supply should reference Red Canyon 12. There is no Sewage system para 13. road para is inconect as to dedication language 14. Para 8 on Traffic lmpact Fees does not reflect (1) choice to construction improvement; and (2) TIF for Phase One alone. 15. Para 9 may need to be more specific about Fire Dishict requirement. I will send the lawyer our usualform language. DECS: Garfield County Attorney Carolyn Dahlgren will contact Robyn Myler regarding deficiencies in the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions. Title Cert:1. l'm confused by the id of owner in the TC, which is dated 6/29/07 and 3tBtO7, and says the owner is PMHoldings LLC fna Pinyon Mesa Development LLC as to Parcels A and B. Yet we have a copy of a deed saying Pinyon Mesa Development. lnc. a Colorado Co as to ParacelA (the Phase one property). The deed is dated either 5/31 or 6/31 (l think 5/31 because the notary date is 519107) 2007. Please inquire of the owner if there is a mistake in the TC, or if the deed was recorded after the 6/29 Land Title document. The Dedication on the tace of the plat has to be signed by Owner at time of Final Plat approval.2. The Exceptions show numerous encumbrances, including a number of easements referenced by Book and Page (e.9., 17 , 18, 21 , 38, 39). Has the private Surveyor noted all of these on the Plat? The Title Commitment does not say which parcels are encumbered. The cunent plat is Parcel A only.3. The exceptions also include ditch ROW (29). Does this relate to A; is it on the plat?4. The exceptions contiain a number of agreements, the title of which give no clue as to whether something needs to be shown on the plat, e.g. 40 and 41. Please inquire if the private surveyor has reviewed in order to determine if there are further encumbrances to be shorn on the Plat. (Developer/Owne/s lawyer may have reviewed, in order to sign the Aftorney's Certificate on the face of the plat.) 5. Plat has mortgagee cert for Alpine per exceptions. Conect? D.

Fax: (970) 384-3470 0^ SOIL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PINYON MESA SUBDIVISION When beginning the construction of phase 1 at Pinyon Mesa, the proposed areas of construction were first stripped of topsoil. These areas consisted mainly of the road corridors and utility/drainage easements. Although the contractor anticipated stripping approximately 9 inches of topsoil (based on the soils reports), it turned out there was closer to 18-24 inches in most places. As a result there are currently large topsoil stockpiles on the site. These piles are currently located along the storm water drainage easement running behind lots 2l-27 and 28-35. Upon completion of the improvements, it is the intention of the contractor to utilize all stockpiled topsoil by spreading it over any disturbed areas prior to re-vegetation. If there is any excess material, it will be utilized for the construction of landscape berms near the entry way and along the above described drainage easement. Until this time, proper erosion control measures will be maintained to prevent runoff of any topsoil into the storm water system. MOUNTAIN EROSS ENGINEERING, INC.

The comments from the review letter dated August 31, 2006 have been incorporated with the following exceptions and/or additional comments, questions, or concems: Plan and Profile Sheets: I . RP I : Runoff will be captured and flow at the toe of the roadway slopes instead of in the curb .and gutter. Currently the west side would drain, but driveways could create a series of ' problems. 2. RP6: The 4" force main is above the water line and shown within minimum separation distance. Details for protection of potable water lines from potential contamination of the force main should be included in the plan sheets 3. RP12: Verifu the grading around the end fire hydrant is acceptable to Fire Department specifications. Generally, the grading around a fire hydrant needs to be flatter than shown. 4. S1: Pipe anchors or restrained joint pipe should be considered down the steep slope to avoid pipe joints pulling apart over time. 5. UT2: The Master Water Vault and the PRV are drawn closer than the minimum l0' horizontal separation to the 4" force main. 6. D I : Thrust block bearing area should be verified against anticipated soil bearing capacities and line pressures. 7. D2: On sheet UT2 a note references a PRV detail on sheet D2 that does not exist. Feel free to call if any of the above needs clarification or if you have any questions or comments.
