I would offer the following comments regarding the proposal: 1. The Fire District currently serves the property. The District provides both fire and emergency medical services. Station No. 5 is located directly to the south of your property. 2. Water supplies for fire protection would be provided by first responding fire apparatus with additional water provided by tanker shuttle. 3. The proposed new driveways appear to be adequate for emergency apparatus. Turnouts may need to be incorporated into the driveways to allow vehicles to pass. 4. The new lots are subject to development impact fees adopted by the fire district. An agreement with the District will be required for the payment of development impact fees. Execution of the agreement and payment of the fees are due prior to the recording of the final plat. Fees are based upon the impact fees adopted by the District at the time the agreement is executed. The current fee for residential development is $437.00 per unit. Please contact me if you have any questions or if I may be of any assistance.

This letter is a follow up to my site visit this past Friday, August 15, 2008. I would offer the following comments. Access 1. During the visit, we drove to your existing buildings using our Engine 8505 from our Station 5, which is located just to the south of your property. The engine was able to adequately access the existing buildings via the existing driveway and was able to adequately turn around. 2. We also drove a portion of the existing driveway at 7330 County Road 100 belonging to Dan and Ann Hogan. The driveway would become part of the access for the proposed new Lot 1. We were able to adequately negotiate the existing grade and curve, and were able to gain access to the point where the new driveway would continue on to Lot 1. Water Supply for Fire Protection 1. We looked at the site of the existing 2,000 gallon water storage tank which is located on the west side of the house on Lot 3. I would recommend installing a dry hydrant in the tank with a 6 -inch male national standard thread (NST) along with a minimum 1-1/2 inch vent pipe. The tank is capable of provide water for both of the existing houses. 2. It is my understanding that another 1,700 gallon water tank is proposed for Lot 1. Again, a 6 -inch dry hydrant should be installed and the tank provide with adequate venting. Defensible Space 1. The defensible space around the existing buildings is generally adequate. I would recommend that some additional fuel modification be completed at the southeast corner of the existing Lot 3 house and at the southwest corner of the Lot 2 house. Weeds and grassed should be cut short around the barn. 2. Defensible space around the proposed new house should be completed using the guidelines of Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) pamphlet 6.302 "Creating Wildfire — Defensible Zones". Please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely, • Bill Gavette Deputy Chief Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District 300 Meadowood Drive • Carbondale, CO 81623 • 970-963-2491 Fax 970-963-0569 September 7, 2010 Roger Eshelman 7378 CR 100 Carbondale CO 81623 Dear Mr. Eshelman: Garfield County I have received the noxious weed survey that you sent our office in July of this year. The weed survey was done on your property at 7378 CR 100, Carbondale, Colorado. As I understand from our phone conversation you are in the process of submitting a Subdivision Application with Garfield County. The submitted weed survey is acceptable, however as we discussed on the phone, the Vegetation Management Department may have additional comments after reviewing the permit application. Please let me know if you have further questions. •cerely, Steve Anthony Garfield County Vegetation Management Department cc: Fred Jarman Director- Garfield County Building & Planning Department • 0298 CR 333A Rifle, CO 81650 Phone: 970-625-8601, Fax: 970-625-8627 • K/NGS ROW SUBD/V/S/ON SCALE: 1" = 2000' HIGH COUNTRY ENGINEERING, INC. 14 INVERNESS DRIVE EAST, STE F-120, ENGLEWOOD, CO 80112 PHONE (303) 9250544 FAX (303) 9250547 1517 BLAKE AVENUE, STE 101, GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601 PHONE (970) 945-8676 FAX (970) 9452555 WW W.HCENG.COM ROGER ESHELMAN GARFIELD COUNTY, CO PIONEER POINT SUBDIVISION ACCESSORS MAP DRAWN BY: DRD CHECKED BY: TJ5 DATE: 8-08-12 SCALE: 1"=2000' PROJECT No: 2061070.00 PAGE: 1 FILE.

Holy Cross Energy has existing power facilities located on or near the above mentioned project. These existing facilities have adequate capacity to provide electric power to the development, subject to the tariffs, rules and regulations on file. Any power line enlargements, relocations, and new extensions necessary to deliver adequate power to and within the development will be undertaken by Holy Cross Energy upon completion of appropriate contractual agreements and subject to necessary governmental approvals. Please advise when you wish to proceed with the development of the electric system for this project. Sincerely, HOLY CROSS ENERGY Jeffrey. nke, Enginee g Department jfranke@holycross.com (970) 947-5416 JAF:vw Dennison • .A Touchstone Energy" Cooperative • CIVIL ENGINEERING LAND SURVEYING MEMORANDUM To: Garfield County Staff and Consultant Engineer From: Dan Dennison Date: January 29, 2013 Project: Pioneer Point Subdivision Subject: Hogan and Pioneer Point Lot 1 Access Improvements Below is a summary of driveway improvements to the Hogan Driveway to date: 1) Mr. Eshelman has added a 25-31 foot wide asphalt apron to the existing Hogan drive which involved creating a low spot away from County Road 100 to improve drainage and provide an improved flat area for vehicles to stage before turning onto County Road 100. This improvement was requested by the County Road and Bridge and has improved the safety of the proposed shared driveway. Any additional flattening of the bottom of the driveway would have created a negative impact on the grades of the driveway up to the Hogan ADU intersection. 2) The existing grades vary from 6% to 18%. The most significant grades are along the first 130 feet of the driveway off of County Road 100. This driveway has a direct connection to the Hogan ADU at approximately 100 feet off of County Road 100 which restricts the amount of regrading that can be done and still serve this unit. Mr. Eshelman has smoothed out this stretch of road to provide a more consistent grade through the first curve to lessen the steep grades. 3) The first 90-100 feet of the Hogan Driveway is the only section of road that is required to meet the semi primitive road standard. This sections has been widened to over 20 feet (which is the standard for drive lanes plus shoulders) and has a typical width of about 23 feet. The first right hand curve in the road was widened to 30 feet. Beyond the first 100 feet is where the primitive residential road standard would begin based on the trip counts for only two residences. This section of road was also widened beyond the single 12 foot lane required to allow two-way traffic up to the switchback where the Lot 1 access will be extended. This switchback was also widened by 10 feet on each side at the direction of the County to provide a proper turnaround area for emergency vehicles. The Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District and Garfield County Road and Bridge are satisfied with the existing shared driveway centerline slopes based on site visits and a test drive assuming the improvements to the apron and turnouts were maintained. These improvements to the width of the driveways, horizontal curves, and turnarounds have improved the overall safety of the intersection and the shared driveway. 1 517 BLAKE AVENUE, SUITE 101 GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601 970-945-8676 • PHONE 970-945-2555 • FAx WWW.HCENG.COM 4) Mr. Eshelman has also resurfaced the sections of the driveway shared between Hogan and Pioneer Point Subdivsion. This included the placing 3"minus gravel at the switchback for the widening in conjunction with adding a 2" top layer of Class 6 from the asphalt apron to the south end of the switchback where the Lot 1 driveway will be extended to improve traction. This is an improvement over the prior condition of the approved Hogan driveway. 5) There are also upgrades to the existing maintenance of the shared driveway in the winter time to prevent slick conditions during the winter months. The placement of a stockpile of sand at the top and bottom of the steep section of the access (over 12%). This will allow the residents/guests to spread material to provide additional grip on the road when slick conditions remain following the plowing of the road. 6) The shared road agreement will also detail the triggers for plowing of the road; a detailed description of how the costs of plowing will be split between the Eshelmans, Hogans, and future parties; and the timing and method of plowing that will be required. 7) The vegetation exceeding 18" in height on both sides of the Hogan intersection of County Road 100 will be trimmed back to the existing County Road right-of-way fencing to provide better sight distance for vehicles along County Road 100 in order to improve the sight distances to cars coming down the driveway and react if a vehicle appears to be entering the County Road without stopping. 8) The applicant will comply with the conditions of approval associated with the County Road and Bridge department's comments which have been either previously been met or will be met through a separate process from the subdivision. A driveway permit through the County Road and Bridge Department will insure that the County is satisfied that the improvements to the Lot 2 and 3 driveway and completed in a timely manner. We believe that with these improvements and the proper maintenance, the existing driveways will be adequate to allow the additional and existing residential units to be accessed from the existing driveways. 1 517 BLAKE AVENUE, SUITE 101 GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO 81601 970-945-8676 • PHONE 970-945-2555 • FAX WWW.HCENG.COM
