II. 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. PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
(The following steps outline how the Exemption from the Definition of Subdivision application
review process works in Garfield County.)
1. Submit 2 copies of this completed application form (pages 1-6) including all submittal
requirements and the base fee to the Garfield County Planning Department. It will be
received and given to a Staff Planner who will review the application for technical
completeness within 15 working days. The Planning Department may request an extension
of time from the Board of County Commissioners for such review not to exceed an
additional fifteen (15) working days.
2. Once the application is deemed technically complete, the Staff Planner will send you a
letter indicating the application is complete in addition to requesting additional copies of the
application to be provided to the Board of County Commissioners for their review in
preparation for the public hearing.
3. Staff will also send you a "Public Notice Form(s)" indicating the time and date of your
hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. Prior to the public hearing, Staff will
provide you with a Staff Memorandum regarding your requested Exemption application. (If
4
• •
Staff determines you application to be deficient, a letter will be sent to you indicating that
additional information is needed to deem your application complete.)
4. It is solely the Applicant's responsibility to ensure proper noticing occurs regarding the
petition for an Exemption for the public hearing. If proper notice has not occurred, the
public hearing will not occur. Notice requirements are as follows:
a. Notice by publication, including the name of the applicant, description of the subject

GARFIELD COUNTY BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT
FEE SCHEDULE
Garfield County, pursuant to Board of County Commissioners ("Board") Resolution No. 98-
09, has established a fee structure ("Base Fee") for the processing of each type of
subdivision and land use applications.
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.
The complete fee schedule for subdivision and land use applications is attached.

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

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.

actually extend BEYOND the
fence line and touch the road
County Road 233
As it illustrates, (along with my subsequent diagrams and photographs) the Silt Pump
Canal and its Easement extent so southward, that they intersect, and overlap with, the Garfield
County Easement of County Road 233. 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:

• •
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.

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.

Silt Project
Colorado
Rifle Gap Dam and Reservoir
General Description
The Silt Project is located in west -central Colorado near the towns of Rifle and Silt. 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

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.

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.
Sincerely,
Mike Morgan

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.

MARIA GLORIA WILKS
REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION
BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO
Pursuant to section 30 -28 -101(10)(a) -(d) of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) and
section 8.00 of the Subdivision Regulations of Garfield County, Colorado, Edward Jacob Wilks and
Maria Gloria Wilks (Applicants) request that the Board of County Commissioners exempt by
resolution the division of a 81.472 acre ± tract of land into one tract of 70.860 acres ±, (Parcel A),
and one tract of 10.612 acres ±, (Parcel B), from the definitions of "Subdivision" and "Subdivided
Land" as the terms are used and defined in C.R.S. § 30 -28 -101(10)(a) -(d) and the Subdivision
Regulations. 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. Applicants seek a subdivision exemption based upon a public right-of-way which splits their
property and which prevents joint use. First, Applicants' property is physically split into Parcels A
and B by the Silt Pump Canal as designated on the exemption plat. The Silt Pump Canal right -of -
'The long-standing access has existed since 1911 and is still used at the present to access
the residence located on parcel A.
way is a public right-of-way and has been previously been treated by the Commissioners 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

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

The Silt Pump Canal construction commenced on or around October 7, 1964 by the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation. (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. The Hills also
assert 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 their property in connection with the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way and for severance
damages from the actual construction. (The Complaint and Decree are attached in Exhibit 5.) 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.
Second, the Silt Pump Canal right-of-way prevents 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 Applicants' 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
the Bureau of Reclamation map in Exhibit 5 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. 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. Soil types and characteristics from the United States Department of Agriculture Soil and
Conservation Service (Exhibit 7);
d. Copy of Request for Comment and Comments from Rifle Fire Protection District
(Exhibit 8); and
e. Application Fee of $300.00 and signed Fee Agreement.
8. School impact fees as provided by regulation will be paid upon approval of final exemption plat.
THEREFORE, Applicants request that the Board of County Commissioners of Garfield
County, Colorado, approve this exemption request.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into on the date set forth below to be effective
, 2004, by Edward Jacob Wilks and Maria Gloria Wilks whose
address is 51,1 C.R. 233, P.O. Box 583, Rifle, CO 81650, owners in fee of those real properties
described as Parcels A and B, Wilks Subdivision Exemption, Garfield County, Colorado. Said
Parcels A and B are referred to hereinafter collectively as "the Parcels."
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. Each party agrees to not interfere at any time with the proper use by
any other party of its interest in any water structure and shall indemnify and hold harmless all other
parties and users from any loss or damage or injury caused by the acts of said indemnifying party.
9. The term hereof shall be perpetual.
10. This agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties, and their assignees or successors, and the easements and covenants granted or agreed to
herein shall be deemed to run with the land and shall encumber the land of each party for the benefit
of the properties of the parties as described herein.
11. The Wilks Subdivision Exemption Homeowners Association shall be
responsible for enforcing this agreement. If, however, the Homeowners Association fails to take
action, this agreement and the terms, conditions and provisions hereof may be enforced by the owner
of either of the Parcels, their successors and assigns. In the event legal proceedings are brought
against any party for the purpose of such enforcement, the prevailing party shall recover from the
non -prevailing party all costs associated therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorney's fees.
12. The laws of the State of Colorado shall govern the validity, effect and

General Description
The Silt Project is located in west -central Colorado near the towns of Rifle and Silt. 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.

• . 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.

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.
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.

Here is a copy of a portion of the
professional survey map that was completed in
conjunction with our proposed subdivision.

As it illustrates, (along with my subsequent diagrams and photographs) the Silt Pump
Canal and its Easement extent so southward, that they intersect, and overlap with, the Garfield
County Easement of County Road 233. 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.

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.

10 SOIL SUAVE(
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Detra soils and Rock outcrop. 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-

ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. 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-

sagebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing the vegetation maintains wood production
and ground cover. The value for grazing is low because
of steep slopes and tree cover. Firewood, posts, and
Christmas trees can be harvested on the more gently
sloping areas.
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

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.

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-

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,

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. These limitations can
be overcome by appropriate design and construction.
This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat-
ed.
68—Vale silt loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes. This deep,
well drained, gently sloping soil is on mesas, terraces,
and alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 7,200
feet. This soil formed in calcareous eolian material. The
4.
Iields in the N columns are for nonirrigated soils; those in the I columns are for irrigated soils. Yields are
those that can be expected under a high level of management. Absence of a yield indicates that the soil
is not suited to the crop or the crop generally is not grown on the soil]

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. 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.
Sincerely,
Mike Morgan

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.

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.
