Exemption Lot 1 to Buffalo Basin Ltd. Changes to Buffalo Basin’s un-platted parcel (R024431
2175 283 00 040 529.27 acres) description has been accomplished by a Boundary Line Adjustment
procedure with the Garfield County Assessor’s Office. No action by the Garfield Community
Development Office is required for the Buffalo Basin parcel. The Casey parcels involved are platted
lots (Bernklau Exemption 2nd Amended Plat recorded as Rec. No. 453406) therefore an Amended
Plat action is required following the conveyances by the parties.
1. The Access Easement No. 1 (Plat Rec. No. 453406) is undocumented and lies on lands of
Buffalo Basin Ltd. Those lands all lie southwesterly of County Road 320. BBL has agreed to
convey the 7.586 acre parcel lying southwesterly of County Road 320 and containing Access
Easement No. 1 to Casey.
2. Casey has agreed, as part of the compensation for the Access Easement parcel to be conveyed
to Casey, to convey to BBL the 0.259 acre portion of Bernklau Exemption Lot 1 that lies north
of the centerline of County Road 320 and is adjacent to the rest of BBL’s parcel located north
of County Road 320.
3. These amendments do not make any changes to drainage, access, or utility easements.
4. Only Casey’s Lot 3 has any improvements (existing single-family home served by an existing
domestic water well and ISDS system). Lot 1 has no improvements.
5. This proposed Amendment of the Bernklau Exemption Plat makes no changes to these pre-
existing conditions and does not create any additional lots.

Mineral Interest Research
Mineral interests may be severed from surface right interests in real property. Colorado revised
statute 24-65.5-103 requires notification to mineral owners when a landowner applies for a land
use designation by a local government. As such, the landowner must research the current owners
of mineral interests for the property.
The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code of 2013 ("LUDC") Section 4-
101(E)(l)(b)(4) requires written notice to owners of mineral interests in the subject property '"as
such owners can be identified through the records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or
Assessor, or through other means."
It is the duty of the applicant to notify mineral interest owners. The following is a suggested
process to research mineral interests:
I. Review the current ownership deed for the property (i.e. Warranty Deed, Special
Warranty, Quit Claim Deed or Bargain and Sale Deed-NOT a Deed of Trust). The
ownership deed is usually one or two pages. ls there a reservation of mineral interests on
the ownership deed? Are there any exceptions to title? A deed may include a list of
reset-vations that reference mineral owners or oil and gas leases.
2. Review your title insurance policy. Are there exceptions to title listed under Schedule B-
U? If so, review for mineral interests that were reserved and oil and gas leases.
3 . Check with the Assessor's office to determine if a mineral interest bas been reserved
from the subject property. The Assessor's office no longer documents the mineral
reservation ownership for its tax roll records unless ownership has been proven. There
are only a limited nwnber of mineral owners who have provided such infonnation to the
Assessor's office so this may not provide any information, depending on your property.

, MEMO
June 24, 2014
Page2
4. Research the legal description of the subject property with the Clerk and Recorder's
computer. You can search the Section, Township, and Range of the subj ect property.
You may find deeds for mineral interests for the subject property.
5. Research whether a Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership was filed for the subject
property. On the Clerk and Recorder's computer, search under Filter (on the right hand
side of the screen), General Recordings, Notice of Mineral Estate Ownership for the
subject property.
6. If you find mineral interest owners as reservations on your deed, listed in your title
insurance policy, from the Assessor's records or the Clerk and Recorder's computer, you
need to determine whether these mineral interests were transferred by deed and recorded
in the Clerk and Recorder's office.
7. Enter the name of the mineral interest owner as the Grantor in the Clerk and Recorder's
computer to see if the mineral interest was transferred. If you find a transfer deed, you
need to repeat this process to follow any transfer of the mineral interest to present day.
8 . Include a description of your research process in your application and the name(s) and
address(es) of the current mineral interest owner{s}.
Mineral interest research can be a difficult and time consuming process. If you are unable to
determine mineral rights ownership by yourself, consider hiring an anomey or landman.
Attorneys and landmen specialize in determining mineral rights ownership, but they charge a fee
for their services.

3) Property Owner #1 wishes to convey land to Property Owner #2. Said land being conveyed is
described in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

County will not be required to issue any building permits, other than what it would be required to
issue for the already existing parcels or lots.
5) The Buffalo Basin Ltd. parcel is NOT a part of a previously platted subdivision of record.
• The Casey parcel IS a lot in a previously recorded subdivision, therefore a Final Plat

Land Use and Development Code. An Amended Final Plat will be obtained after
recording of this transaction per said Code.
6) We hereby represent that the boundary line adjustment made reference to herein will not cause
the loss of access by road or to utilities, to any parcel or lot involved.
7) We hereby represent that the boundary line adjustment being made will not result in any of the
parcels or lots involved being less than the minimum lot size in their applicable zone district
allowed as a result of the boundary line adjustment or create any non-conforming setbacks for any
existing structures.
8) We hereby represent that a copy of the Affidavit will be recorded with the Garfield County Clerk
