EXEMPTION APPLICABILITY Pursuant to section 8:50 of the Subdivision Regulations, the Board of County Commissioners has the discretionary power to exempt a division of land from the definition of subdivision and, thereby, from the procedure in these Regulations, provided the Board of County Commissioners determines that such exemption will not impair or defeat the stated purpose of the Subdivision Regulations nor be detrimental to the general public welfare. The Board has determined that leases, easements and other similar interests in Garfield County owned property, land for oil and gas facilities, and an accessory dwelling unit or two family dwelling that are subject to leasehold interest only and complying with the requirements of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution, are exempt from these regulations. A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to qualify for exemption, the parcel as it existed on January 1, 1973, must have been 35 acres or greater in size at the time and not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad), preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs along the public right- of-way, such parcels thereby created may, at the discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tracts of land 35 acres or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by exemption since January 1, 1973. B. All Garfield County zoning requirements will be met. C. All lots created will have legal access to a public right-of-way and any necessary access easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained. D. Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of the legal and physical quality, quantity and dependability, and a suitable type of sewage disposal to serve each proposed lot. Proof of a legal supply shall be an approved substitute water supply plan contract; augmentation plan; an approved well permit; legally adjudicated domestic water source or a contract for a permanent legal supply of domestic water to be hauled from an outside site for a cistern. Proof of the physical supply from a well for the public meeting, may be documentation from the Division of Water Resources that demonstrates that there are wells within a 1/4 mile of the site producing at least five (5) gallons/minute. Prior to the signing of a plat, all physical water supplies using a well shall demonstrate the following: 1) That a four (4) hour pump test be performed on the well to be used. 2) A well completion report demonstrating the depth of the well, the characteristics of the aquifer and the static water level; 3) The results of the four (4) hour pump test indicating the pumping rate in gallons per minute and information showing draw down and recharge; 3 • • 4) A written opinion of the person conducting the well test that this well should be adequate to supply water to the number of proposed lots; 5) An assumption of an average or no less than 3.5 people per dwelling unit, using 100 gallons of water per person, per day; 6) If the well is to be shared, a legal, well sharing agreement which discusses all easements and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the system and who will be responsible for paying these costs and how assessments will be made for these costs. 7) The water quality is tested by an approved testing laboratory and meet State guidelines concerning bacteria and nitrates. For water supplies based on the use of cistern, the tank shall be a minimum of 1000 gallons. E. Method of sewage disposal, and a letter of approval of the fire protection plan from the appropriate fire district. F. All State and local environmental health and safety requirements have been met or are in the process of being met. G. Provision has been made for any required road or storm drainage improvements. H. Fire protection has been approved by the appropriate fire district. I. Any necessary drainage, irrigation or utility easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained. J. All applicable taxes and special assessments have been paid. III.

The Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff time devoted to an application, multiplied by an hourly rate for the personnel involved. The Board recognized that the subdivision and land use application processing time will vary and that an applicant should pay for the total cost of the review which may require additional billing. Hourly rates based on the hourly salary, and fringe benefits costs of the respective positions combined with an hourly overhead cost for the office will be used to establish the actual cost of County staff time devoted to the review of a particular project. Actual staff time spent will be charged against the Base Fee. After the Base Fee has been expended, the applicant will be billed based on actual staff hours accrued. Any billing shall be paid in full prior to final consideration of any land use permit, zoning amendment or subdivision plan. If an applicant has previously failed to pay application fees as required, no new or additional applications will be accepted for processing until the outstanding fees are paid. Checks, including the appropriate Base Fee set forth below, must be submitted with each land use application, and made payable to the Garfield County Treasurer. Applications will not be accepted without the required application fee. Base Fees are non-refundable in full, unless a written request for withdraw from the applicant is submitted prior the initial review of the application materials. Applications must include an Agreement for Payment Form ("Agreement") set forth below. The Agreement establishes the applicant as being responsible for payment of all costs associated with processing the application. The Agreement must be signed by the party responsible for payment and submitted with the application in order for it to be accepted.

' • ' 1 • 4e: " • , 4. • • Thursday, July 22, 2004 To whom it may concern, My name is Edward Wilks and my wife, Gloria, and I are attempting to finalize a subdivision of our properties, located at 5101 and 5181 County Road 233, Garfield County, Colorado. Upon finalizing our proposals, and preparing to go before the County Commissioners, our attorney has informed us of a possible concern that the Government Offices of Garfield County might have with our application. It appears that the concern stems from the appearance that after the subdivision, there would be a portion of land that would be intersected by one of our driveways. This intersection might allow for access from one driveway, to two properties. I have reviewed those concerns and I appreciate the conclusions that were made. I also understand how it might appear to be confusing. I would like to take the opportunity to resolve those concerns and explain the circumstances associated with this matter. ro e Property 1 i Original P Driveway 11 Proposed Subdivision County Road 233 The concern stems from the fact that the driveway appears to cut across the proposed subdivision. This driveway, up to the dashed line, is actually the access -point and road entry for the Silt Pump Canal Property & Easement, their canal, their service road, and their banks of the canal. It is gated on each side, controlled by the Silt Pump Canal Authorities, and we are not allowed to park, block, fence, lock, nor in any way hinder the access, entry, exit, or use of this property. Our driveway then begins on the other side of the dashed line, but only there, at the north portion of the Silt Pump Canal. 1 • Here is a copy of a portion of the professional survey map that was completed in conjunction with our proposed subdivision. • 8.3804• W 14x8 If II II 1 02.0429.W 35.1,14 551.14 fl 4V,°ns m.411ma� South 1/ 16 Corner Sections 34/35 Alum.

This effectively closes the portion of land and should resolve any concerns about its relation to our requested subdivision. As for the concern of the ability of a person to access this portion of the land from another's driveway, we must include that access is mandated and required by the Silt Pump Canal Authorities. Even if we were requesting a sectional subdivision of smaller lots, we would still have to include the access points onto this property from the existing driveway. Allow me to explain: 3 • • Here is a photograph of the above portion, taken from the driveway, pointed eastward. The gate is controlled by the Silt Pump Canal Authorities and is, and always must be, allowably accessed from our driveway. The gate, the canal, and even the service road, are all their property and easement. Therefore, we cannot alter nor interfere with it in any way. Here is a two-dimensional representation of the Pump Canal in that location (and the above photo) and its position and relation to the property, the subdivision, and even County Road 233 and its easement. I Silt Pump Canal Property and Easement Garfield County Property and County Road 233 Fence Fence North Bank South Bank Canal Road 4 County Road 233 • County Road 233 The Silt Pump Canal Authorities regularly access the road and clean the ditch using a large back -hoe, dumping the remaining dirt south of the canal and the road. We intend to fence off the property (as illustrated by the red line above) leaving enough room for their road, their easement, and their needs. As you can see, the property will be fenced, sealed, and closed well before the driveway. This will successfully contain the property, persons, and animals associated with the area. I hope that this adequately addresses any questions you might have had. However, if you should require more photographs of the area, more information, or even the opportunity to speak with me directly, I would be happy to come to your offices and speak with you. I greatly appreciate you time and attention in this matter. Please contact me if you have any comments.

The project stores the flows of Rifle Creek and pumps water from the Colorado River to supply irrigation waer for approximately 7,000 acres of land. Principal features of the project are Rifle Gap Dam and Reservoir, a pumping plant, and a lateral system. Recreation facilities are available at Rifle Gap Reservoir. Plan Unit descriptions and facilities Project water is stored in Rifle Gap Reservoir, formed by Rifle Gap Dam on Rifle Creek. Reservoir exchange releases are made from Rifle Creek to existing ditches to meet downstream irrigation needs. The water is released directly into Davie Ditch to supply water to project lands on Davie Mesa. Reservoir releases are also made to meet downstream diversion rights of nonproject lands. These releases allow additional diversions from East Rifle Creek upstream from the reservoir for project use. Delivered through Grass Valley Canal, this exchange water provides a full irrigation supply for new project lands and a supplemental supply to project lands previously irrigated from the http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/html/silt.html 9/1/04 Silt Project • privately -owned Harvey Gap Reservoir and Grass Valley Canal. • Page 2 of 3 The Dry Elk Valley lateral carries water from the Grass Valley Canal to lands in Dry Elk Valley. Harvey Gap Reservoir, which previously filled and emptied each year, now stores and regulates water for a longer irrigation season. The Silt Pumping Plant is located near the Colorado River about 2 miles east of the town of Silt. The 7.6 -mile -long Silt Pump Canal, northwest from the pumping plant, carries irrigation water to lands on the lower portion of Harvey Mesa. The pumped water is used as a supplemental supply, or as a replacement supply, for project lands formerly irrigated with Colorado River water pumped at high cost from the Cactus Valley Ditch. It also is used as an exchange for nonproject water to replace Harvey Gap Reservoir water for project lands above the Silt Pump Canal. Rifle Gap Dam and Reservoir Rifle Gap Dam is about 5 1/2 miles north of Rifle, at a point where Rifle Creek cuts through the Grand Hogback. The dam is an earthfill structure with a spillway. Rifle Gap Reservoir has a total capacity of 13,602 acre-feet and an active capacity of 12,168 acre-feet, and when full, a surface area of 359 acres. Operating agencies Reclamation turned over the operation and maintenance of the Silt Project to the Silt Water Conservancy District in 1968. The district also operates the private Farmers Irrigation Company facilities as part of the project. Development History Most early settlers in the area were miners and prospectors who turned to irrigated agriculture after being unsuccessful in mining attempts. In 1920, 40 families were brought from New York by the Midland Railroad Company to operate coal mines in the Silt area. When the railroad failed a short time later, the families remained in the vicinity and began farming. Agriculture is still the region's basic industry. Several thousand acres of rangeland and National Forest reserves surround the cultivated areas and are used for summer grazing. Most irrigated farmland is devoted to the production of alfalfa, grain, and native hay for livestock feed; a small acreage is used for production of fruit and truck crops. Investigations The Bureau of Reclamation began investigations of the Silt Project in 1936. A report on the Colorado River dated March 1946 briefly described a project plan similar to the preset plan. The plan was described in greater detail in a January 1951 report on the Silt Project, which served as a supplement to the 1950 report on the Colorado River Storage Project and participating projects. The 1950 report was amended in 1953 and was the basis for authorization of the Silt Project. The December 1961 definite plan report presented the results of studies which generally confirmed the 1951 feasibility plan. http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/html/silt.html 9/1/04 Silt Project Authorization • • Page 3 of 3 The project is one of the initial participating projects authorized with the Colorado River Storage Project in April 1956. The project was primarily constructed for agricultural, recreation, and fish and wildlife purposes. Construction The construction contract for Rifle Gap Dam was awarded in August 1964 and the project was completed in 1967. Benefits Irrigation Major crops are alfalfa, small grain, and hay for livestock feed. Recreation and Fish and Wildlife Recreation at Rifle Gap Reservoir is administered by the Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation and consists of camping, picnicking, swimming, boating, and fishing. In 1996, 12 -hour visitor days totaled 123,112. Flood Control Although there is no specific reservoir capacity assigned for flood control, the Silt Project has provided an accumulated $150,000 in flood control benefits from 1950 to 1999.

Attention: Barbara C. Burwell Post Office Box 907 Rifle, Colorado 81650 Reference: Wilks Petition for Exemption Miss Burwell, The Rifle Fire Protection District has recently reviewed the proposed Wilks Petition for Exemption. The District understands that the proposal is to take one parcel of approximately 81.472 acres and create two parcels, one of approximately 70.860 acres, and one of approximately 10.162 acres. The District further understands that the proposed uses of the parcels will be residential. The property is within the boundaries of the Rifle Fire Protection District and fire and emergency medical services are provided to the area by the District. The District approves of the exemption but would make the following recommendations: 1. Posting of address: addresses are to be posted where the driveway intersects the County Road. If a shared driveway arrangement is used, the address for each home should be posted to clearly identify each address. Letters are to be a minimum of 4 inches in height, '/2 inch in width and contrast with background colors. 2. Access roadways: driveways should be constructed to accommodate the weights of emergency apparatus in adverse weather conditions. 3. Defensible space: combustible materials should be thinned from around structures so as to provide a defensible space in the event of a wildland fire. 4. If available, the District would like to work with the owners to develop a dry hydrant in the area for fire protection use. Thank you for your cooperation and feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

BOX 907 RIFLE, COLORADO 81650 September 2, 2004 Mr. Fred Jarman, Sr. Planner Garfield County Building & Planning Department 108 Eighth Street, Suite 201 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: WILKS SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION Dear Fred: TELEPHONE 970 - 625-1887 FAX 970 - 625-4448 I wanted to follow up on our conversations regarding the Wilks Subdivision Exemption. As you know, the Wilks are seeking subdivision exemption for a two lot split (10.612 acres and 70.860 acres). The Wilks property is ineligible for a standard subdivision exemption because a four -lot subdivision has already been created from a property which was part of the original 1973 parcel. The Wilks, however, are seeking an exemption based upon a public right-of-way which splits their property. You asked for some clarification regarding our position on the "public right -of way" nature of the Silt Pump Canal and well. as "joint use" of the Wilks property across the Canal. Initially, the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way is a public right-of-way and it is my understanding that the Commissioners have previously treated it as such. As a matter of background, the Silt Pump Canal is a part of the Silt Project undertaken by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The Silt Project stores the flows of Rifle Creek and pumps water from the Colorado River to supply irrigation water to approximately 7,000 acres of land. The principal features of the Silt Project are the Rifle Gap Dam & Reservoir, the Dry Elk Valley Lateral, the Silt Pumping Plant and the Silt Pump Canal. The Silt Pumping Plant is located about 2 miles east of the town of Silt and the 7.6 -mile Silt Pump Canal carries irrigation water from the plant to land to the lower portion of Harvey Mesa. The United States Bureau of Reclamation began investigations of the Silt Project in 1946. A report amended in 1953 provided the basis for Congress's authorization of the Silt Project in April 1956 pursuant to the enactment of the Colorado River Storage and Project Act, 43 U.S.C.A. § 620, et seg. The Silt Pump Canal construction commenced on or around October 7, 1964 by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. (Please see Exhibit 5 to the Subdivision Exemption Application and the Silt Project Report from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation attached hereto.) The Silt Pump Canal was completed in approximately 1967. In 1968, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation turned the operation and maintenance of the Silt Project over t the Silt Water Conservancy District. • • On February 21, 1969, Lynn R. Hill and Maxine Hill (the Wilks' predecessor in title) filed suit against the United States America in the United State District Court for the District of Colorado. In the Complaint, the Hills asserted that the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way was taken by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the construction and operation of the Silt Pump Canal. The Hills also asserts that the Silt Pump Canal right -of way traversed and bisected their property. The Hills sought compensation from the United States for the taking of the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way. By judgment signed on May 23, 1969, the United States was required to pay the Hills for the "utilization" of the Hills property in connection with the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way and for severance damages from the actual construction. (Please see Exhibit 5 to the Subdivision Exemption Application.) A copy of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation map showing the Silt Pump Canal right -of way -boundaries on the Hill (now Wilks) property is included as the last page of Exhibit 5. Additionally, the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way does prevent joint use of the property. As can be seen from the proposed exemption plat, the right-of-way splits the property into two parcels (the 10.612 acre Parcel B and the 70.860 Parcel A). The right-of-way through the Wilks property for the canal is 50 feet on the south side of the centerline and 30 feet on the north side of the centerline. (Please see Exhibit B to the Subdivision Application and the proposed exemption plat.) The canal itself is not piped or covered and has steep dirt banks. The physical characteristics of the canal make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to cross. I have enclosed some additional photographs of the canal for your review but it is admittedly difficult to get any perspective from them. There are existing homes on both Parcel A and Parcel B. There has been a residence on Parcel B since the early 1900s. The home on Parcel A was constructed within the last several years pursuant to a Special Use Permit granted by Garfield County. Each home has its own separate access to County Road 233. The home on Parcel A is accessed by a bridge over the canal and right-of-way. The home on Parcel B has a permitted driveway directly onto County Road 233. A copy of the driveway permit is attached. Since the construction of the home on Parcel A, each home has been operated independently from the other with no sharing of services, etc. Moreover, because of the physical characteristics of the property, the bridge from County Road 233 over the canal and right- of-way does not allow joint use of the Parcels. Mr. Wilks has addressed the bridge as well as its location and use very throughly in his letter of July 22, 2004 which is attached. I hope that this letter clarifies the applicability of the "public right-of-way" exception for the Wilks property. I would be happy to discuss these issues further at your earliest convenience. In fact, it may be helpful to arrange a site visit for you to see the property in person. Very truly yours, STUVER, LeMOINE & BURWELL, P.C. Barbara C.

Applicants base this request on the reasons stated below. 1. The 81.472 acre ± tract which is the subject of this Request is owned by Applicants and is described summarily as W1/2SE1/4, Section 34, Township 5 South, Range 92 West of the 6`11 Principal Meridian. A copy of the deed transferring the property to Applicants is attached in Exhibit 1. 2. The purpose of this exemption request is to allow residential sale and use of the Parcel A as shown on the exemption plat. Applicants' residence will remain on Parcel B. 3. The residential improvements already constructed on Parcels A and B are currently supplied with water from Well Permit No. 234731. A 20 -foot well easement through Parcel A is designated on the exemption plat. A formal well sharing agreement will be executed as part of the subdivision exemption. Copies of the well permit and a proposed well sharing agreement are attached in Exhibit 2. 4. The residential improvements already in place on Parcels A and B are served by individual septic systems. A copy of the proposed declaration of protective covenants including and individual septic system maintenance plan is attached in Exhibit 3. 5. Parcel B is accessed via County Road 233 (Silt Mesa Road) with Garfield County Driveway Permit No. 73. Parcel A is accessed via a long-standing access' onto County Road 233 (Silt Mesa Road) and through a 30 -foot access easement across Parcel B designated on the exemption plat. A copy of the driveway permit and the proposed declaration for roadway easement and maintenance obligations are attached in Exhibit 4. 6.

(A copy of the Silt Project Report from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is attached in Exhibit 5.) The Silt Pump Canal was completed in approximately 1967. In 1968, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation turned the operation and maintenance of the Silt Project over to the Silt Water Conservancy District, a special district organized by decree of the District Court in and for Garfield County, Colorado, on June 3, 1957 for the purposes of conserving and developing land and water resources. On February 21, 1969, Lynn R. Hill and Maxine Hill (Applicants' predecessor in title) filed suit against the United States America in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. In the Complaint, the Hills asserted that the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way was taken by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the construction and operation of the Silt Pump Canal.

Photographs of the canal are attached in Exhibit 5, however, it is admittedly difficult to gain any perspective regarding the size of the ditch from the photographs. There are existing homes on both Parcel A and Parcel B. There has been a residence on Parcel B since the early 1900s. The home on Parcel A was constructed within the last several years pursuant to a Special Use Permit granted by Garfield County. Each home has its own separate access to driveway permit is attached in Exhibit 4. Since the construction of the home on Parcel A, each home has been operated independently from the other with no sharing of services, etc. Moreover, because of the physical characteristics of the property, the bridge from County Road 233 over the canal and right-of-way does not allow joint use of the Parcels. Mr. Wilks has addressed the bridge as well as its location and use in his letter -of July 22, 2004 which is attached in Exhibit 5. As can be seen by the attached photographs, the Silt Pump Canal prevents joint use of the proposed parcels. 7. In further support of this Request, the following documents are submitted: a. Proposed exemption plat with vicinity map; b. Schedule of names and addresses of owners of record of lands within 200 feet of the proposed exemption and mineral owners of record for the exempted parcels (Exhibit 6); c.

WHEREAS, the parties and their successors in interest of Parcels A and B are to be the joint owners of a water well constructed under Colorado Division of Water Resources Well Permit No. 234731 and shall be joint owners of the water well and casing as constructed and installed and of the water to be diverted by said well system for providing domestic water for all permitted uses on the respective properties of the parties; and WHEREAS, the well and casing and pump shall be utilized by said owners as a lawful water right; and WHEREAS, the water well and system required drilling and completion and will require continuing maintenance and operation, the costs of which must be borne by the owners and users thereof; and WHEREAS, the well permit contemplates perpetual, though not constant, use and operation of the well, pump and the appurtenant structures; and WHEREAS, said owners desire to enter into this agreement for the purpose of clarifying respective rights and duties and establishing easements and procedures for jointly operating the water well and delivering water to the properties of the owners, for providing a method for equitably dividing the water derived from operation of the system, and for equitably allocating the shared payment of costs of operation and maintenance of the water well and its pump and other structures by all of the parties; and NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual obligations, promises, and covenants set forth herein, and the due performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, including but not limited to the acceptance of the benefits and detriments deriving herefrom, the undersigned agrees as follows: 1. Each of the respective owners of Parcels A and B shall be deemed to own an undivided one-half (1/2) share of the subject well permit, well, pump, fittings at the well head, 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 owners of the Parcels are 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 water well and its structures. This agreement does not intend to relate to such individually owned or used rights or structures. Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to give any party any rights to such non -shared property of other parties nor to obligate any party to pay any costs associated with non -shared structures. 3. The parties 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 parties agree to not waste water and to endeavor to use no more than their respective shares of the available water. Waste or over -use shall be deemed to be a material breach of this agreement for which the non -defaulting parties may seek remedy at law or equity for damages or for injunctive relief, or both. Irrigation uses shall be limited to not more than 1 /2 acre of lawn and garden on each parcel. Unless otherwise agreed by each owner, no owner of one of the Parcels shall use more than one-half (1/2) of the water legally allocated to the well (i.e., 7.5 g.p.m.). In the event the water physically available from the well is less than the legally available amount, then each owner shall proportionately reduce the consumption of same to one-half (1/2) the amount actually available. In no event shall the well be pumped at a rate exceeding fifteen (15) gallons per minute. Any household use of the well 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 well is located. 4. The initial construction of the well system, pump house and any jointly used pipe lines has been completed by Edward Jacob Wilks and Maria Gloria Wilks. 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 of this water system to cause the water at the well to become and remain available to deliver water to the parties shall be shared by the parties in proportion to their share in the well. This agreement shall relate only to costs incurred after the date hereof. Electrical charges for the operation of the well shall be shared equally. 5. Subject to the provisions in paragraph 4 above, any party 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 water well and deliver the subject water, shall not receive water from the system. At such time as said electing party chooses to resume use of water from the system said party may do so upon reimbursement to the other users the full cost of said party'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 2 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 owners with a written statement of work performed and the other owners' 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 for a breach. The Court, in its discretion, may award to the prevailing party Court costs and attorney's fees incurred. 7. Edward Jacob Wilks and Maria Gloria Wilks hereby grant and dedicate a permanent, non-exclusive easements across that portion of Parcels A, designated as "Well Access and Maintenance Easement" on the final plat of the Wilks Subdivision Exemption, as necessary and sufficient for this agreement to be performed for the benefit of the respective owners of Parcel A and B, as users of the shared well, pump and common pipeline and treatment system, and also grant a non-exclusive easement for non -shared or individual pipelines conveying water to the respective Parcels over and across said "Well Easement." 8.

The project stores the flows of Rifle Creek and pumps water from the Colorado River to supply irrigation waer for approximately 7,000 acres of land. Principal features of the project are Rifle Gap Dam and Reservoir, a pumping plant, and a lateral system. Recreation facilities are available at Rifle Gap Reservoir. Plan Unit descriptions and facilities Project water is stored in Rifle Gap Reservoir; formed by Rifle Gap Dam on Rifle Creek. Reservoir exchange releases are made from Rifle Creek to existing ditches to meet downstream irrigation needs. The water is released directly into Davie Ditch to supply water to project lands on Davie Mesa. Reservoir releases are also made to meet downstream diversion rights of nonproject lands. These releases allow additional diversions from East Rifle Creek upstream from the reservoir for project use. Delivered through Grass Valley Canal, this exchange water provides a full irrigation supply for new project lands and a supplemental supply to project lands previously irrigated from the http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/html/silt.html 9/1/04 . Silt Project Page 2 of 3 privately -owned Harvey Gap Reservoir and Grass Valley Canal. The Dry Elk Valley lateral carries water from the Grass Valley Canal to lands in Dry Elk Valley. Harvey Gap Reservoir, which previously filled and emptied each year, now stores and regulates water for a longer irrigation season. The Silt Pumping Plant is located near the Colorado River about 2 miles east of the town of Silt. The 7.6 -mile -long Silt Pump Canal, northwest from the pumping plant, carries irrigation water to lands on the lower portion of Harvey Mesa. The pumped water is used as a supplemental supply, or as a replacement supply, for project lands formerly irrigated with Colorado River water pumped at high cost from the Cactus Valley Ditch. It also is used as an exchange for nonproject water to replace Harvey Gap Reservoir water for project lands above the Silt Pump Canal. Rifle Gap Dam and Reservoir Rifle Gap Dam is about 5 1/2 miles north of Rifle, at a point where Rifle Creek cuts through the Grand Hogback. The dam is an earthfill structure with a spillway. Rifle Gap Reservoir has a total capacity of 13,602 acre-feet and an active capacity of 12,168 acre-feet, and when full, a surface area of 359 acres. Operating agencies Reclamation turned over the operation and maintenance of the Silt Project to the Silt Water Conservancy District in 1968. The district also operates the private Farmers Irrigation Company facilities as part of the project. Development History Most early settlers in the area were miners and prospectors who turned to irrigated agriculture after being unsuccessful in mining attempts. In 1920, 40 families were brought from New York by the Midland Railroad Company to operate coal mines in the Silt area. When the railroad failed a short time later, the families remained in the vicinity and began farming. Agriculture is still the region's basic industry. Several thousand acres of rangeland and National Forest reserves surround the cultivated areas and are used for summer grazing. Most irrigated farmland is devoted to the production of alfalfa, grain, and native hay for livestock feed; a small acreage is used for production of fruit and truck crops. Investigations The Bureau of Reclamation began investigations of the Silt Project in 1936. A report on the Colorado River dated March 1946 briefly described a project plan similar to the preset plan. The plan was described in greater detail in a January 1951 report on the Silt Project, which served as a supplement to the 1950 report on the Colorado River Storage Project and participating projects. The 1950 report was amended in 1953 and was the basis for authorization of the Silt Project. The December 1961 definite plan report presented the results of studies which generally confirmed the 1951 feasibility plan. http://www.usbr.gov/dataweb/html/silt.html 9/1/04 • . Silt Project Page 3 of 3 Authorization The project is one of the initial participating projects authorized with the Colorado River Storage Project in April 1956. The project was primarily constructed for agricultural, recreation, and fish and wildlife purposes. Construction The construction contract for Rifle Gap Dam was awarded in August 1964 and the project was completed in 1967. Benefits Irrigation Major crops are alfalfa, small grain, and hay for livestock feed. Recreation and Fish and Wildlife Recreation at Rifle Gap Reservoir is administered by the Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation and consists of camping, picnicking, swimming, boating, and fishing. In 1996, 12 -hour visitor days totaled 123,112. Flood Control Although there is no specific reservoir capacity assigned for flood control, the Silt Project has provided an accumulated $150,000 in flood control benefits from 1950 to 1999.

Upon finalizing our proposals, and preparing to go before the County Commissioners, our attorney has informed us of a possible concern that the Government Offices of Garfield County might have with our application. It appears that the concern stems from the appearance that after the subdivision, there would be a portion of land that would be intersected by one of our driveways. This intersection might allow for access from one driveway, to two properties. I have reviewed those concerns and I appreciate the conclusions that were made. I also understand how it might appear to be confusing. I would like to take the opportunity to resolve those concerns and explain the circumstances associated with this matter. 1! Original Property Driveway y Proposed Subdivision `j I County Road 233 The concern stems from the fact that the driveway appears to cut across the proposed subdivision. This driveway, up to the dashed line, is actually the access -point and road entry for the Silt Pump Canal Property & Easement, their canal, their service road, and their banks of the canal. It is gated on each side, controlled by the Silt Pump Canal Authorities, and we are not allowed to park, block, fence, lock, nor in any way hinder the access, entry, exit, or use of this property. Our driveway then begins on the other side of the dashed line, but only there, at the north portion of the Silt Pump Canal. 1 Here is a copy of a portion of the professional survey map that was completed in conjunction with our proposed subdivision.

This effectively closes the portion of land and should resolve any concerns about its relation to our requested subdivision. As for the concern of the ability of a person to access this portion of the land from another's driveway, we must include that access is mandated and required by the Silt Pump Canal Authorities. Even if we were requesting a sectional subdivision of smaller lots, we would still have to include the access points onto this property from the existing driveway. Allow me to explain: 3 Here is a photograph of the above portion, taken from the driveway, pointed eastward. - The gate is controlled by the Silt Pump Canal Authorities and is, and always must be, allowably accessed from our driveway. The gate, the canal, and even the service road, are all their property and easement. Therefore, we cannot alter nor interfere with it in any way. Here is a two-dimensional representation of the Pump Canal in that location (and the above photo) and its position and relation to the property, the subdivision, and even County Road 233 and its easement. Fence Silt Pump Canal Property and Easement Garfield County Property and County Road 233 1 Fence South Bank County Road 233 North Bank Canal Road 4 County Road 233 The Silt Pump Canal Authorities regularly access the road and clean the ditch using a large back -hoe, dumping the remaining dirt south of the canal and the road. We intend to fence off the property (as illustrated by the red line above) leaving enough room for their road, their easement, and their needs. As you can see, the property will be fenced, sealed, and closed well before the driveway. This will successfully contain the property, persons, and animals associated with the area. I hope that this adequately addresses any questions you might have had. However, if you should require more photographs of the area, more information, or even the opportunity to speak with me directly, I would be happy to come to your offices and speak with you. I greatly appreciate you time and attention in this matter. Please contact me if you have any comments.

These areas make up about 5 to 10 percent of the map unit. Permeability is moderately slow, and available water capacity is high. The effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited grazing. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly Gambel oak, serviceberry, elk sedge, and bromes. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and woody shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, Kentucky bluegrass, undesirable weeds, and annual plants are abundant. Properly managing grazing main- tains and improves range condition. Mule deer, elk, cottontail rabbit, wild turkey, and blue grouse find habitat on this soil. Community development and sanitary facilities are lim- ited by steep slopes and low strength. This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated. 2—Arle-Ansari-Rock outcrop complex, 12 to 65 percent slopes. This complex consists of strongly slop- ing to steep soils and Rock outcrop on mountainsides and sloping alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,500 to 7,500 feet. The soils formed in alluvium derived from red -bed shale and sandstone. The average annual pre- cipitation is about 16 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 42 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 100 days. The Arle soil makes up about 45 percent of the com- plex, the Ansari soil makes up about 35 percent, and Rock outcrop makes up about 20 percent. The Arle soil is moderately deep and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown very stony loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil and substratum are reddish brown very stony loam about 22 inches thick. Soft reddish brown sandstone and shale are at a depth of 32 inches. Permeability of the Arle soil is moderate, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 20 to 40 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is severe. The Ansari soil is shallow and well drained. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown loam about 10 inches thick. The substratum is reddish brown stony loam. Bed- rock is hard, reddish brown sandstone. Permeability of the Ansari soil is moderate, and availa- ble water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is about 10 to 20 inches. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. Rock outcrop is mainly red sandstone. This complex is used mainly for grazing and wildlife habitat. The native vegetation on the Arle soil is mainly wheat - grass, Indian ricegrass, mountainmahogany, and sage- brush. The native vegetation on the Ansari soil is mainlg Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, 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. Mule deer, rabbit, and grouse find habitat on these soils. Use of this complex for community development or as a source of construction material is limited mainly by depth to rock, steep slopes, thin layers of borrow materi- al, and large stones. Special design can overcome these limitations. Drainage and structures to control runoff from snowmelt reduce erosion around construction sites and roads. This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. 3—Arvada loam, 1 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, sloping soil is on fans and high terraces (fig. 4). Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. This soil formed in highly saline alluvium derived from sand- stone and shale. The average annual precipitation is about 12 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is strongly alkaline or very strongly alkaline, pale brown loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum is light brown or brown silty clay loam to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Limon, Kim, Heldt, and Wann soils. Also included are some soils that are high in silt. Permeability is very slow, and available water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Organic matter content of the surface layer is low. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat, limited grazing, and some irrigated farming. Irrigated crops produce very poorly because the soil takes water in very slowly and is droughty. Leaching is needed to remove excess salts if this soil is to be irrigat- ed. Soil amendments containing sulphur are helpful in leaching the salt. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly saltgrass, alkali sacaton, and greasewood. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. Properly managing grazing maintains and im- proves range condition. Seeding improves range in poor condition. Western wheatgrass, alkali sacaton, and tall wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Irrigat- ing new seedings is necessary for successful establish- 1IFLE AREA, COLORADO 21 Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Iney, Arvada, and Kim soils that have slopes of 1 to 3 ercent. These areas make up 5 to 10 percent of the ap unit. Permeability is slow, and available water capacity is �[oderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. urface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is used for irrigated crops and hay (fig. 5). Ifalfa, small grains, some corn for silage, and grass or rass-legume mixtures are grown. Flooding is suitable for irrigating this soil. Intake rate is low. Wide, deep cracks form when the soil dries. Irriga- 4on rates and tillage practices should be carefully lanned to overcome soil conditions. Green manure crops and commercial fertilizer are generally needed to aintain or improve tilth and fertility. The native vegetation on this soil was mainly wheat - grass, sagebrush, and rabbitbrush; however, all areas of is soil are now in irrigated crops. Cottontail rabbit, squirrel, mourning dove, and pheas- nt find habitat on this soil. Community development and recreation are limited by illow permeability, high clay content, and shrink -swell otential. Dwellings and roads can be designed to corn- ensate for the low strength and shrink -swell potential. Septic tank absorption fields are severely limited by slow Iermeability. Community sewage disposal systems will e needed if population density increases. This soil is in capability subclasses Ille, irrigated, and iVc, nonirrigated. 29—Heldt clay loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, gently sloping soil is on alluvial fans nd sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to ,000 feet. This soil formed in fine textured alluvium erived from shale and sandstone. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air Ilmperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average ost-free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown clay loam bout 8 inches thick. The subsoil is light brownish gray lay loam about 13 inches thick. The substratum is light ray clay to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Iney, Arvada, and Kim soils that have slopes of 3 to 6 ercent. These areas make up 5 to 10 percent of the ap unit. Permeability is slow, and available water capacity is goderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. urface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used for irrigated crops and hay. Some Ireas are used for grazing. Alfalfa, small grains, some orn for silage, and grass or grass -legume mixtures are grown. Flooding is suitable for irrigating this soil. Intake rate is slow. Wide, deep cracks form when the soil dries. Irriga- tion rates and tillage practices should be carefully planned to overcome limiting soil conditions. Green manure crops and commercial fertilizer are generally needed to maintain or improve tilth and fertility. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat - grass, sagebrush, and low rabbitbrush; however, all areas of this soil are now in irrigated crops. Cottontail rabbit, squirrel, mourning dove, and pheas- ant find habitat on this soil. Community development and recreation are limited by slow permeability, high clay content, and shrink -swell potential. Dwellings and roads can be designed to com- pensate for the low strength and shrink -swell potential. Septic tank absorption fields are severely limited by slow permeability. Community sewage disposal systems will be needed if population density increases. This soil is in capability subclasses Ille, irrigated, and IVc, nonirrigated. 30—Heldt clay loam, 6 to 12 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, moderately sloping to rolling soil is on alluvial fans and sides of valleys. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 6,000 feet. This soil formed in fine textured alluvium derived from shale and sandstone. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown clay loam about 8 inches thick. The subsoil is light brownish gray clay loam about 13 inches thick. The substratum is light gray clay to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Olney, Arvada, and Kim soils that have slopes of 6 to 12 percent. These areas make up about 5 to 10 percent of the map unit. Permeability is slow, and available water capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for irrigated hay (fig. 6) and grazing. Some small areas are in irrigated crops. Alfalfa, small grains, and grass or grass -legume mixtures are grown. Flooding is suitable for irrigating this soil. The intake rate is slow. Wide, deep cracks form when the soil dries. Irrigation and tillage practices should be carefully planned to overcome soil conditions and to control ero- sion. Erosion can be controlled by keeping the soil in hay or pasture for at least three-fourths of the time. Green manure crops and fertilizer are generally needed to maintain or improve tilth and fertility. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wheat - grass, sagebrush, and rabbitbrush.

This soil formed in mixed alluvium derived primarily from basalt. This soil has a thin intermittent cap of reddish eolian material. The average annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average annual air temperature is 46 degrees F, and the average frost -free period is about 125 days. Typically, the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches thick. The underlying material is white, very strongly calcareous very stony loam to a depth of 60 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Potts and Ascalon soils on less sloping positions. These areas make up 5 to 15 percent of the map unit. Permeability is moderately rapid, and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is more than 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for grazing and wildlife habitat. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly pinyon and Utah juniper. The understory consists mostly of Indian ricegrass, wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitter - brush, and big sagebrush. When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper- ly managing the vegetation maintains wood production and grazing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves understory grazing and provides firewood, posts, and Christmas trees. This 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 capac- ity affects survival of tree seedlings. "` Mule deer, chukar, wild turkey, gray squirrel, and cot- tontail rabbit find habitat on this soil. Community development is limited by large stones and steep slopes. Structures to divert runoff are needed for roads. This soil is in capability subclass Vls, nonirrigated. 34—Ildefonso stony loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes.

RIFLE AREA, COLORADO 66—Torriorthents-Camborthids-Rock outcrop com- plex, steep. This broadly defined unit consists of ex- posed sandstone and shale bedrock, loose stones, and soils that are shallow to deep over sandstone and shale bedrock and stony basaltic alluvium. This complex occurs throughout the survey area. The soils and out- crops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent. Torriorthents make up about 45 percent of the com- plex, Camborthids make up 20 percent, and Rock out- crop makes up 15 percent. The Torriorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below Rock outcrop. The moderately steep Camborthids are on lower toe slopes and concave open areas on foothills and mountainsides. Torriorthents are shallow to moderately deep. They are generally clayey to loamy and contain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones weathered from the higher - lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colorado River, basaltic stones and cobbles are on the surface. Camborthids are shallow to deep. They are generally clayey to loamy and have slightly more clay in the sub- soil than in the surface layer. The surface layer is light colored. The profile is normally free of stones, but scat- tered basalt stones, cobbles, and sandstone fragments are on the surface. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal- tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out- crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area. Included in mapping are small, isolated areas of Ilde- fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Begay, Heldt, and Dollard soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 20 percent of this map unit. This complex is used for grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreation. The stones on the surface and the steep slopes make this complex unsuitable for crops. Some areas can be reseeded to pasture by broadcast seeding. Other plant- ing methods are made difficult by the stones and slopes. The native vegetation includes wheatgrasses, blue - grasses, Indian ricegrass, needlegrasses, bitterbrush, mountainmahogany, sagebrush, and an overstory of pinyon and juniper. The value of grazing is fair. The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited graz- ing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides firewood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe erosion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management. Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and cover on this complex. Building is limited by steep slopes and stoniness. These limitations can be overcome by appropriate design and construction. 37 This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. 67—Torriorthents-Rock outcrop complex, steep. This broadly defined unit consists of exposed sandstone and shale bedrock and stony soils that are shallow to moderately deep over sandstone and shale and stony basaltic alluvium. Areas of this complex occur throughout the survey area. The soils and outcrops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent. Torriorthents make up about 60 percent of this com- plex, and Rock outcrop makes up 25 percent. The Tor- riorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below the Rock outcrop. Torriorthents are generally clayey to loamy and con- tain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones weathered from the higher -lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colora- do River, stones and cobbles of basalt are on the sur- face. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal- tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out- crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area. Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Ilde- fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Gaynor, Tridell, and Nihill soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 15 percent of this map unit. This complex is used for limited grazing, wildlife habi- tat, and recreation. Because of the stones on the surface, the Rock out- crop, and the steep slope, this complex is unsuited to crops. The native vegetation includes wheatgrass, bluegrass, Indian ricegrass, needlegrass, bitterbrush, sagebrush, mountainmahogany and an overstory of pinyon and juni- per. The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited grazing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides fire- wood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe ero- sion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management. Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and cover on this complex. Community development is limited by the Rock out- crop, steep slopes, and stoniness.

Please provide your written statement concerning availability of fire protection services and any safety concerns to_the undersigned and to the Garfield County Planning Department at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation. Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Very truly yours, STUVER & LEMOINE, P.C. BARBARA C. Barbara C. Burwell Enclosures RIFLE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT March 25, 2004 Stuver & LeMoine, P.C. Attention: Barbara C. Burwell Post Office Box 907 Rifle, Colorado 81650 Reference: Wilks Petition for Exemption Miss Burwell, The Rifle Fire Protection District has recently reviewed the proposed Wilks Petition for Exemption. The District understands that the proposal is to take one parcel of approximately 81.472 acres and create two parcels, one of approximately 70.860 acres, and one of approximately 10.162 acres. The District further understands that the proposed uses of the parcels will be residential. The property is within the boundaries of the Rifle Fire Protection District and fire and emergency medical services are provided to the area by the District. The District approves of the exemption but would make the following recommendations: 1. Posting of address: addresses are to be posted where the driveway intersects the County Road. If a shared driveway arrangement is used, the address for each home should be posted to clearly identify each address. Letters are to be a minimum of 4 inches in height, '/z inch in width and contrast with background colors. 2. Access roadways: driveways should be constructed to accommodate the weights of emergency apparatus in adverse weather conditions. 3. Defensible space: combustible materials should be thinned from around structures so as to provide a defensible space in the event of a wildland fire. 4.

My commission expires: Notary Public 5 DECLARATION OF WATER WELL USE AND MAINTENANCE THIS DECLARATION is made this da 2005, by Edward Jacob Wilks and Maria Gloria Wilks ("Declara ") whose address is 5101 C.R. 233, P.O. Box 583, Rifle, CO 81650. WHEREAS, Declarants are the owners in fee of those real prorts descIPP as Parcel A and Parcel B within the plat of the Wilks Subdivision Exemption, Garfieounty, Colorado. Said Parcel A and Parcel B are referred to hereinafter collectively as "the Parcels." WHEREAS, Declarants also are the owners of a water well ("Well") located on Parcel A and permitted under Colorado Division of Water Resources Well Permit No. 234731 for the domestic and irrigation use of not more than three single family dwellings; and WHEREAS, by this Declaration, it is the intent of Declarants to establish a regime governing the joint use of the Well by the future owner of the Parcels,( the "Owners"). J NOW THEREFORE, the Declarants set forth the regime governing joint use of the Well by the faturCOwners of the Parcels as follows: 1. The Owner of Parcel B shall be deemed to own an undivided one-third (1/3rd) share of the subject Well permit, Well, water tank, pump, fittings at the Well head, 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. The Owner of Parcel A shall be deemed to own an undivided two- thirds (2/3rds) share of the subject Well permit, Well, water tank, pump, fittings at the Well head, 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. 3. 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 Well 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. 4. 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 which the non -defaulting owner may seek remedy at law or equity for damages or for injunctive relief, or both. Irrigation uses shall be limited to not more than 1/3 acre of lawn and garden irrigation on Parcel B and 2/3 acre of lawn and garden irrigation on Parcel A. Unless otherwise agreed by each Owner, the Owner of Parcel B shall use no more than one-third (1/3) of the water legally allocated to the Well (i.e., 5.00 g.p.m.) and the Owner of Parcel A shall use no more than two-thirds (2/3) of the water legally allocated to the Well (i.e. 10.00 g.p.m.). In the event the water physically available from the Well is less than the legally available amount, then each Owner shall proportionately reduce the consumption of same to the amount actually available. In no event shall the Well be pumped at a rate exceeding fifteen (15) gallons per minute. Any household use of the Well 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 Well is located. 5. Declarants shall be responsible for the initial cost of constructing the well 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 of this water system to cause the water at the well to become and remain available to deliver water to the Owners shall be shared by the Owners in proportion to their share in the Well. This Declaration shall relate only to costs incurred after the date hereof. Electrical charges for the operation of the Well shall be shared in proportion to the water allocated to each Owner. 6. 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 Well 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. 7. 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. 2 8. Declarants hereby create and reserve permanent, non-exclusive easements across the portion of Parcel A designated as "Well Easement" and on the plat of the Wilks Subdivision Exemption, recorded in the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office with Reception No. and as attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A as necessary and sufficient for the benefit of the Owner of Parcels B, as a user of the Well, pump and common pipeline and treatment system and structures, and also create and reserve a non-exclusive easement for non -shared or individual pipelines conveying water to Parcel B over and across said "Well Easement". 9. 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 Owners and users from any loss or damage or injury caused by the acts of said indemnifying owner. 10. The term hereof shall be perpetual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event that a well permit is issued for Parcel B allowing household uses and the well as drilled produces two (2) or more g.p.m., this Declaration shall become null and void. 11. This Declaration and the convenants contained herein are intended to and shall run with the titles to those real properties described as Parcel A and Parcel B within the plat of the Wilks Subdivision Exemption, Garfield County, Colorado, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Owners thereof, and their assignees or successors. 12. The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern the validity, effect and construction of this Declaration. 13. This Declaration may not be modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by the Owners of each of the Parcels. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Declaration is executed this day of , 2005.
