Re: Crystal Ridge Subd'ivision
Sec..l4, T75, R88W
Dear Sir or Madam:
[,le have reviewed the above referenced sketch plan to spl'it lB acres intothreq parcels. The proposed source of wateris an exempt well, permit number40495, decreed in Case No. W-2715. An jnvestjgation as to the physical
adequacy of this well to serve three homes should be conducted prior to
prel iminary plat referral .
In order to assure that a permanent water supply will be avajlable on anequitable bas'is to each lot, we also suggest the following:
l. The well should be located on an outlot owned in common by allproperty owners using the well. Access to the well and the right toestabl'ish and maintain a pipeline shall be provided by easements
where necessary.
2. The well should be jointly owned by the lot owners.
3. Covenants and/or other mechanisms should establish a lot owners
associat'ion_wi!h powers to make decisjons concerning management andoperation of the well. A joint maintenance agreement is i requiredpart of such an association.
We would not object to this project if the applicant can demonstrate thatan adequate physical supply wi 1'l be avai lable from the exist'ing wel I and theother issues in this letter are addressed.

Re: Sketch Plan Review, Crystal Ridge Subdivision
Dear Mark:
After review by the Mount sopris Soil conservation District Board rnembers, they
have the following comments ihey would like to submit for consideration of the
Planning Comnission.
1. They feel that lot 1 is very steep.
2. Are there plans for dog control for the deer and elk in the area?
3. Plans show just one we11, will that be enough water for domestic
use and fire control?
4. Will there be some neans of dust control on the county Road, since
this will generate more traffic?
The Board appreciates getting a sketch plan for review and comments, and
hopes that tLeir concerns witt be considered by the Planning Commission'
Sincerely,
