HARDWICK CROSSING
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
March 20, 2026
A. Consistency with Garfield County Comprehensive Plan
The proposed Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.) is consistent with the
Garfield County Comprehensive Plan and its policies directing growth, housing, economic
development, and land use patterns.
The project is located in an area appropriate for development that can be efficiently served by
existing and planned infrastructure and transportation systems. The Comprehensive Plan
identifies such areas as suitable for accommodating residential and mixed-use development in a
manner that promotes efficient land use and reduces impacts on surrounding rural lands.
The project supports the County’s overarching vision:
“Garfield County is dedicated to managing and directing growth to designated Urban Growth
Areas and other areas that can accommodate growth cost effectively, in order to create thriving
communities while promoting a diverse, sustainable and healthy economy, protecting wildlife,
maintaining or improving the quality of our natural environment, and preserving the county’s
rural and western heritage.”
Housing
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. is focused on the development of twenty-eight (28) small-lot
single-family residences integrated with a Business Park Zone District. The residential
component is designed to provide attainable housing opportunities in close proximity to
employment uses, regional transportation corridors, and the Riverview School.
The residential units will be individually platted and developed as small single-family homes.
These units may initially be constructed by employers and utilized as rental housing for
employees, thereby directly supporting workforce housing needs. Over time, these homes may
transition to for-sale units, providing long-term homeownership opportunities and contributing to
neighborhood stability.
In addition, each of the four (4) Business Park lots will have the right to develop one (1)
employee dwelling unit, further supporting on-site workforce housing opportunities and
strengthening the relationship between employment and housing within the P.U.D.
The project will also comply with Article 8 of the Garfield County Land Use and Development
Code by providing three (3) deed-restricted affordable housing units. These units will be
2
integrated into the overall development and will contribute to the County’s goal of providing
housing opportunities across a range of income levels.
This approach advances the Comprehensive Plan’s housing objectives by:
• Providing attainable workforce housing near employment
• Allowing employer-provided housing within the Business Park
• Supporting both rental and ownership housing opportunities over time
• Delivering compact residential development on smaller lots
• Reducing commuting distances within the Roaring Fork Valley
The Comprehensive Plan encourages a range of housing options and emphasizes the importance
of locating housing near infrastructure, employment, and services so that residents can “live,
work, and play” within their community.
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. directly implements these policies through its integrated land use
framework.
Economic Development
The inclusion of the Business Park Zone District is a central component of the Hardwick
Crossing P.U.D. and directly supports the County’s economic development goals.
The Business Park is intended to accommodate a mix of commercial, service, and light industrial
uses that will:
• Provide employment opportunities within the Mid-Valley area
• Support local and regional businesses
• Enhance economic diversification
• Reduce the imbalance between jobs and housing
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. further strengthens the relationship between jobs and housing by
allowing each Business Park lot to include one (1) employee dwelling unit. This approach
supports local businesses by providing on-site or nearby housing opportunities for employees,
reduces commuting demands, and enhances the overall functionality and sustainability of the
development.
The Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for businesses to
locate in areas where employees can also live.
Hardwick Crossing responds directly to this policy by co-locating housing and employment uses
within a coordinated development framework.
Private Property Rights
The proposed P.U.D. is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s recognition of private property
rights:
3
Garfield County recognizes that property owners have the right to develop land provided such
development protects the health, safety, and welfare of the community and does not adversely
impact surrounding properties.
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. provides a logical and efficient development pattern that respects
adjacent land uses while advancing broader community goals.
B. Consistency with Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. is located within the Glenwood Springs Urban Growth Boundary
(UGB). As such, the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan directs that development be
consistent with the Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan.
The UGB is intended to accommodate urban-level development supported by infrastructure,
services, and transportation systems.
Growth within the Urban Growth Boundary
The project is consistent with the intent of the UGB by:
• Providing compact, efficiently planned development
• Utilizing existing and planned infrastructure
• Supporting coordinated growth adjacent to existing development
The Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan identifies areas south of the City as appropriate for
additional residential density and mixed-use development, particularly on vacant or underutilized
parcels.
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. advances this objective by developing an underutilized property
into a cohesive residential neighborhood with an integrated business park.
Diverse Housing Opportunities
The Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan emphasizes the need to increase housing supply and
provide a range of housing opportunities to address the imbalance between jobs and housing.
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. advances these goals by:
• Providing twenty-eight (28) attainable residential units
• Supporting both rental and ownership housing over time
• Allowing employer-provided housing tied to local jobs
• Including three (3) deed-restricted affordable housing units in compliance with Article 8
• Allowing one (1) employee dwelling unit on each Business Park lot
While the project focuses on small-lot single-family homes, the flexibility in tenure (rental and
ownership) and integration with employment uses provides meaningful diversity in housing
opportunities consistent with Comprehensive Plan objectives.
4
Relationship Between Jobs and Housing
The Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan highlights the importance of addressing the
imbalance between employment growth and housing availability.
The Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. directly responds to this issue by:
• Integrating workforce housing with employment-generating uses
• Providing opportunities for employees to live within or adjacent to their place of work
• Allowing employee dwelling units within the Business Park Zone District
• Reducing regional commuting patterns and associated congestion
This coordinated approach strengthens the relationship between jobs and housing and supports
long-term community sustainability.
Economic Development
The Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan promotes economic diversification and recognizes
the importance of providing locations for business and industry within the UGB.
The Hardwick Crossing Business Park Zone District supports these objectives by:
• Providing space for local businesses and service uses
• Supporting job creation within proximity to housing
• Enhancing the overall economic resilience of the area
• Creating a development pattern attractive to both employers and employees
C. Conclusion
The Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development is consistent with and advances the goals,
policies, and objectives of both the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan and the Glenwood
Springs Comprehensive Plan.
The project:
• Directs growth to an appropriate and serviceable location within the Urban Growth
Boundary
• Provides twenty-eight (28) attainable residential units in a compact development pattern
• Integrates workforce housing with employment opportunities
• Includes three (3) deed-restricted affordable housing units in compliance with Article 8
• Allows one (1) employee dwelling unit on each Business Park lot
• Supports economic development through the creation of a Business Park Zone District
• Promotes efficient land use and reduces regional commuting patterns
As such, the Hardwick Crossing P.U.D. represents a logical, coordinated, and policy-consistent
development that advances both County and municipal planning objectives.

INTRODUCTION
Location
The 17.03-acre Hardwick Crossing PUD parcel (# ID: 218535304XXX) is a
proposed development that consists of residential and commercial/industrial use. The site is
located in the south half of Section 35 of Township 6 South, Range 89 West of the 6th
Principal Meridian, Garfield County, Colorado. The project is bounded to the north by
private properties, on the south by the Roaring Fork River, on the east by County Road 154,
and to the west by private property. State Highway 82 is located adjacent to County Road
154 to the east and access is approximately 800-ft on County Road 154 to Highway 82.

Land Use
The project site currently consists of an existing Equine Hospital on Lot C3, a
former Diesel Automative shop on Lot C1, and several vacant lots, Lots C2 and C4. In Lot 2
(Lots R1 and R2) is located the Hardwick Crossing Subdivision, which consists on 28
proposed single-family units, 4 detention storm ponds, and an upper and lower access road
that give have connection to County Road 154, Flying M. Ranch Road and the Riverview
School.
Figure 2 - Proposed PUD Layout
The property historically was a gravel pit and concrete company. Much of the site
has experienced former excavation from the gravel pit operations and other industrial uses
over the years. Currently a portion of Lot 2 is being used by Gould construction for storage,
crushing and other concrete and material operations. A waste and recycling operation also
spent a number of years on the site.

The proposed PUD is shown in Figure 2. Lots C2 and C4 are currently vacant and
will develop in the future. Allowed PUD uses include storage, office, and residential units.
Southeast side of Lot 2 which is currently being utilized by Gould Construction is proposed
to be zoned for commercial or residential uses. The most intensive use would likely be
residential and up to 28 units would be allowed per the PUD. The traffic study assumes the
most intensive traffic uses allowed per the PUD. Figure 2 identifies the proposed high
impact uses.
WASTEWATER SYSTEM
Sanitary Sewer System
With the construction of the new Riverview School, the Roaring Fork water and Sanitation
District extended their sewer service to include the Hardwick Crossing Area. The entire site
is now within the service Area for the District. Site specific line extension agreements will
still need to be completed with new development. Commitment to serve letters are provided
with the PUD Submittal.
The work that was completed by the district as well as the owner of Lot 2 and 3 of the
Eastbank Minor Subdivision is shown on the map on the following page. These extensions
were completed in anticipation of line extensions for development that may occur in this
area. Much of the infrastructure is currently located on Lot 2 or immediately adjacent,
including water and sewer mains and the Sewer Lift station, which was installed to
accommodate the new school and the future development.
Local Sanitary Sewer System
The Roaring Fork Sanitation District extension into the proposed PUD has been anticipated
and would simply be an extension to the now existing gravity lines that are serving the
Riverview School. A map showing the existing lines completed in 2017 and the proposed
extensions is shown on Figure 3. It can be seen on this map that the proposed sewer for the
6
school at the time of development, along the Roaring Fork River and existing gravel access
road, to the west from the line that serves the school and easterly from the lift station, along
the Roaring Fork River and Lower Access Rd, to serve the Eastern side of the Hardwick
Crossing properties. For this PUD, sewer extension has been proposed to be from the
location of the existing lift station, meanwhile, water connection will be from the
intersection of Hardwick Way and Flying M. Ranch and loop to CR 154 where a main
connection was contemplated. A short extension will also be made down Hardwick court to
serve the residential units along that road.
The new sewer main would extend from the south side of the lift station and extend along
the river and Hardwick Court to provide gravity service to the single-family homes. The
commercial lots located on the upper bench, north of Flying M Ranch Road currently have
the sewer and water mains in place and will only need minor modifications to serve all of
the lots. The PUD plans provide detail for future utility main extension locations, and
proposed current service line modifications. HCE has prepared calculations for water and
sewer main sizing and have verified that 8” water and 8” sewer spacing will be adequate for
the proposed highest uses. An 8” line can provide sewer for the entire development and
future development and will still have additional capacity. Calculations have been
provided in the Appendix B.

WATER DISTRIBUTION
Water Distribution
With the construction of the new Riverview School, the Roaring Fork water and Sanitation
District extended their water service to include the Hardwick Crossing Area. The entire site
is now within the service Area for the District. Site specific line extension agreements
would still need to be completed with new development. Commitment to serve letters are
provided with the PUD Submittal.
The work that was completed by the district with the School District, as well as the Owner
of these parcels is shown on the map on the previous page. The waterlines are shown in
blue and the area completed highlighted with a red balloon line. The primary extension
from Ironbridge was a 12” main. Much of the infrastructure is currently located on Lot 2
including water and sewer mains and the Sewer Lift station, which were installed to
accommodate the new school and future development. The proposed PUD design includes
the addition of 8” class 52 DIP waterlines and 6” Fire Hydrants to serve all of the proposed
development. These lines have been or will be extended from the mains completed with the
school district improvements. A loop is also included within the development. The loop
will connect from the intersection of Flying M Ranch Road and the school district entrance
easterly through future development and up to County Road 154, where a tee was installed
to accommodate this connection to the existing 12” watermain. This loop is necessary for
water quality. Demands were determined based on the proposed most intensive zoning
uses. The overall average day demands for residential utilizing 350 GPD/EQR and 32
residential units on the lower bench and 4 units in the commercial area is 37 EQRS and
11,200 gallons per 16 hours use day. No additional commercial usage was calculated
beyond the existing uses. The max day was multiplied by 2 to bring the demand up to
22,400 GPD. The peak flow was determined based on a multiplier of 2.5 to the average day
flow which yielded a peak flow of 28,000 GPD. The max day demand will be 23.33 GPM.

Fire Demand
Fire Flows were determined utilizing Haestad methods WaterCAD V8 software to develop a
water model for the proposed development. SGM provided numbers for fire flows and
demands that were prepared for the school district for us to calibrate our model to. HCE has
attempted to locate actual flow numbers, but they have not been located in time for this
submittal. A flow test was performed by the fire district that indicated a flow of 1200 GPM
at the H-16 hydrant with a residual of 25 which was decided to be inaccurate based on the
actual flows for the School District that were determined at the time of building permit.
This is likely due to inline valves not being fully open which was determined to be true on
two of the valves. These valves are in CR 154 and are to be verified in the near future and
a reliable test will then be performed.
Per the SGM reference, fire flows were to be a minimum of 1500 gpm for a four hour flow
duration. See numbers below from model approximate calibrated model with the new loop
through Hardwick Crossing to CR 154 closed.

Fire demands were determined in the design and construction of the waterline extension to
the school district by SGM with a water model developed for the Roaring Fork Water and
Sanitation District. Their model was a minimum of 1700 GPM + provided to the school for
4 hours. HCE has modeled the system with the parameters provided by the district from the
school model and have verified that the flows available throughout the development will
remain above 1500 GPM during a max-day analysis. All future proposed structures will be
required to work within these parameters for on-site fire protection. Fire Protection is
provided by Glenwood Springs Fire Protection District. Results of the fire flows are
attached in the appendix. Updated fire flow numbers will be provided with the final plan
development once the data becomes available from the fire district or with the new flow test
once the valves are verified to be open.
SGM, additionally noted that a 12” waterline connection will be made within the Ironbridge
development as part of their final phases and will increase the flow to this are by 335 gpm.
WATER IRRIGATION
No raw water irrigation is proposed for the PUD. All irrigation use shall be provided by
the Roaring Fork Water and Sanitation District and be limited per the inclusion agreement.
HCE anticipated irrigation usage of approximately 2.87 acres which falls within the
calculation from the district of 211 gallons per day per EQR (See Appendix B) is likely
significantly more than will be used by the development. It is anticipated that xeriscaping
will be required for landscaping within the development. Minimal irrigation as anticipated
to maintain native grasses, trees and shrubs.
In general terms the Glenwood Ditch that runs off-site along the northeast side of the
properties is owned by a formal, incorporated Ditch Company and this owner does not own
shares within that ditch. On site “ditches” are historic lateral conveyances and generally
subject to relocation. This development and subdivision does not impact any active
11
irrigation conveyances.
DRY UTILITIES
Electric
The point of contact for electrical service is Sam Wakefield with Xcel Energy. Phone
Number: 970-625-6028.
Currently there is an Xcel Energy three-phase power that has been extended from the
overhead electrical feeder on CR 154 and was extended down the new access to the
Riverview School. This line has been looped through the upper commercial/industrial area
and back out to CR 154. At the intersection of Flying M Ranch and Hardwick Ranch Way,
close to the school, we are suggesting extending from that point and looping to the power
pole near the Hardwick Ranch Way upper access connection to CR-154. These connections
will feed down Hardwick Ranch Way and Milton Court to provide electric utility to the
proposed residential development. The developer will be responsible for costs associated
with extending the electric utility through the PUD. Three existing poles will need to
removed that are currently feeding the Gould yard and the Storage building within the
residential area.
Gas
The point of contact for gas service is Mark Fadick with Black Hills Energy. Phone
Number: 970-914-8326.
Gas has also been extended to the school and is in the same access corridor as the electric.
Black Hills Energy designed and installed the existing gas main from the intersection of CR
154 and CR 109 that extends to the school. Similar to the electric utility, we are proposing
all connections within the PUD to extend off of the underground main lines near the school
at the intersection of Flying M Ranch and Hardwick Ranch Way and likely loop by joining
12
at the main on CR 154. These connections will feed down Hardwick Ranch Way and
Milton Court to provide gas utility to the proposed residential developments. Will serve
letters have been provided with the application.
Cable
The point of contact for cable service is Brett Westphall with Comcast Cable Television.
Phone Number: 720-979-9121 .
Comcast Cable has also been extended to the school and is in the same access corridor.
Existing extension lines were designed and installed from the intersection of CR 154 and the
North access into the school. Similar to the electric utility, we are proposing all connections
within the PUD to extend off of the main lines near the school at the intersection of Flying
M Ranch and North Access roads. These connections will feed down Hardwick Ranch Way
and Milton Court to provide cable utility to the proposed residential developments.
Telecommunications
The point of contact for telecommunications service is Jason Sharpe with Lumen
970-328-8290.
Lumen telephone has also been extended to the school and is in the same access corridor.
Existing extension lines were designed and installed from CR 154 and the North access into
the school. Similar to the electric utility, we are proposing all connections within the PUD
to extend off of the main lines near the school at the intersection of Flying M Ranch and
Hardwick Ranch Way.
FLOODPLAIN ANALYSIS
HCE has reviewed the available floodplain information for the site and there are currently
two available maps depicting FEMA flood information. The current map in effect is a 1986
map (Panel Number: 080205 1465 B) which shows the area generally and indicates that
13
some portion of Lot 2 near the lift station is within the floodplain. FEMA Mapping was
completed utilizing the 1929 vertical datum (NGVD 1929) which is approximately 4.3’
lower than the newer mapping which utilizes the North American Vertical Datum of 1988
(NAVD 1988). This is shown on the FEMA PUD map attached in Appendix D.
More recent data was prepared in 2015 based on updated topographical information and GIS
spatial information shows the same area utilizing the 1988 NAVD. This mapping is more
readily overlaid to other mapping due to the GIS background photo information. With the
1986 FEMA mapping there is inaccuracy due to the localized topography and we have
further verified the actual limits of floodplain including an additional 1’ to offset the
potential increase of floodway elevations in the event that floodplain development occurs
upstream of this development. These elevations are also shown on the FEMA PUD
mapping. With this information we have determined that all of the proposed development is
at least 1’ above the 100-year floodplain elevations. As an additional factor of safety we
have established the lowest finish floors on each lot to be approximately 3’ above the 1986
interpolated floodplain elevations. See Appendix D map.
ACCESS AND ROADWAYS
The roadways throughout the site are all private easements and not public Right of Way.
The Access to the site is via CR 154 at three different access points. Access to the
commercial area is provided at CR 154 at the southeast end of the site, sharing existing
access with the current Federal Express (FedEx) facility for Lots C1-C4. Flying M Ranch
Road currently provides access to the school district from CR 154 and will provide the
primary access to lots 21-28 of Hardwick Ranch PUD. Hardwick Ranch Road is the
proposed third access to CR 154. Hardwick Ranch Road connects to the Flying M Ranch
Road at the 1st intersection with the Riverside School. Hardwick Ranch Road traverses the
Hardwick crossing property and connects with CR 154 south of the Flying M Ranch Road
connection to CR 154 creating a loop out for these properties as well as the school.
Felsburg Holt and Ullevig prepared a traffic assessment for the development and analyzed
14
the turning movements at CR 154 and at State Highway 82 as well as the connections at CR
154. Recommendations are summarized below:
The intersection of CR 154 with SH 82 would see slightly increased traffic with the proposed
construction of the Hardwick Crossing development. The estimated site generated traffic volumes
are estimated to add an additional 18 vehicles to the intersection of CR 154 with SH 82.
This translates to an increase of 4 percent over the permitted volume of 600 DHV. The increase in
projected peak hour traffic falls below the 20 percent threshold outlined in the CDOT SHAC and a
change in access should not be required.
Turn Lanes:No additional auxiliary turn lanes are recommended at the CO 82/CR 154 intersection.
This signalized intersection is currently equipped with left and right turn deceleration lanes along
CO 82 and the addition of site traffic is not expected to require a northbound right-turn
acceleration based on SHAC requirements (10 vehicles per hour are required and the short term
future peak would reach 8 vehicles per hour with the addition of site traffic).
At the CR 154/Flying M Ranch Road and CR 154/FedEx Ground access intersections, the existing
configurations/turn lanes are expected to remain adequate to accommodate the addition of site
traffic.
At the CR 154 intersection with the southernmost residential site access, it is recommended that
appropriate roadway striping and signing be provided to accommodate movements for right-turn
only in and out.
Per their assessment we have limited the access to CR 154 and Hardwick Ranch Way to
right in/out only.
Maintenance of the roads will be per a joint use agreement with the Hardwick Crossing
Planned Unit Development, its successors, the School District and the users within the
development.
Emergency access is provided through the development via Hardick Ranch Way to CR 154
or Via Flying M Ranch Road to CR 154.
Pedestrian Access shall be provided via new sidewalks and existing regional paths.
Roadway sections are proposed to be 22 feet flowline to flowline for the proposed access
roadways. This will include a 1.5 feet curb pan on each side of the road. Asphalt will be 9.5
feet on each side. 4 feet Sidewalks are proposed to be 4’ in width and connect the residential
15
portions of the development. The sidewalk paths will be constructed only on one side of
Milton Court and Hardwick Ranch Way on the river side of the project.
GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW
Kumar prepared a report titled “PRELIMINARY SUBSOIL STUDY FOR FOUNDATION
DESIGN PROPOSED HARDWICK CROSSING PUD LOT 2, EASTBANK LLC MINOR
SUBDIVISION, 3927 COUNTY ROAD 154, GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO” Project
No. 26-7-150, dated March 10, 2026.
This report discusses geologic conditions and provides Engineering Analysis and
preliminary design recommendations for the Hardwick Crossing PUD. This report is
included as Appendix E.
The following is an excerpt from the report regarding the Geologic conditions.
Geologic Conditions
The project site is located in the Carbondale Collapse Center. The Carbondale Collapse
Center formed in the late Cenozoic due to evaporite tectonism. The Eagle Valley Evaporite
migrated plastically upwards and laterally toward the Colorado River and Roaring Fork
River bottoms due to a reduction in vertical stress caused by the erosion of overburden
material by the rivers. Subsidence occurred in areas of the thinned evaporite and beneath
the rivers due to dissolution (Kirkham, and Others, 2003). Much of this subsidence appears
to have occurred within the past 3 million years which also corresponds to high incision
rates of the Roaring Fork and Crystal Rivers (Kunk and Others, 2002). It is uncertain if the
regional subsidence is still an active geomorphic process or if evaporite subsidence has
stopped. If still active, present deformations may be occurring at rates similar to past long -
term rates of between 0.5 and 1.6 inches per 100 years. These slow deformation rates should
not present a potential risk to the proposed development area.
Hydro-Compressive and Collapsible Soils
The variable fill soils encountered at the site tend to settle when they become wetted. A
16
shallow foundation placed on the variable fill soils will have a risk of settlement if the soils
become wetted and care should be taken in the surface and subsurface drainage around
structures in the proposed development to prevent the soils from becoming wet. It will be
critical to the long-term performance of the structures that the recommendations for surface
grading and subsurface drainage contained in site-specific reports for the individual
buildings be followed. Settlement in the event of subsurface wetting could cause building
distress. Removal of the fill, and replacement in a moisture adjusted and compacted
condition is recommended.
Earthquake Considerations
Historic earthquakes within 150 miles of the project site have typically been moderately
strong with magnitudes less than 5.5 and maximum Modified Mercalli Intensities less than
VI. The largest historic earthquake in the project region occurred in 1882. It was located in
the northern Front Range and had an estimated magnitude of about M6.2 ± 0.3 and a
maximum intensity of VII. Historic ground shaking at the project site associated with the
1882 earthquake and the other larger historic earthquakes in the region does not appear to
have exceeded Modified Mercalli Intensity VI (Kirkham and Rogers, 1985). Modified
Mercalli Intensity VI ground shaking should be expected during a reasonable exposure time
for the residence, but the probability of stronger ground shaking is low. Intensity VI ground
shaking is felt by most people and caused general alarm, but results in negligible damage to
structures of good design and construction.
Radiation
The project site is not located on geologic deposits that would be expected to have high
concentration of radioactive minerals. However, there is a potential that radon gas could be
present in the area. It is difficult to assess future radon gas concentrations in buildings
before the buildings are constructed. Testing for radon gas levels could be done when the
residences and other occupied structures have been completed. New buildings are often
designed with provisions for ventilation of lower enclosed areas should post construction
17
testing show unacceptable radon gas concentration.
Preliminary Design Recommendations – Site Grading
The on-site soils, excluding topsoil and debris, appear suitable for roadway and building pad
construction with proper processing and placement. Structural fill up to about 10 feet deep
placed for building pads, roadway embankments and below other pavement areas, should
be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density (SPD) at a moisture
content within 2% of optimum. This will likely require moistening and mixing the
materials prior to use as structural fill. We estimate the onsite soils will have long term
settlements of about 1 to 2% of their fill depth when placed to 95% SPD. Higher degree of
compaction for fills greater than about 8 to 10 feet deep and use of a relatively well graded
granular material are desirable to limit fill settlement and distress to facilities constructed
on the fill. Miscellaneous fill can consist of the on-site soils and should be compacted to at
least 90% SPD. We should review the site grading plans when developed. Prior to the fill
placement, the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing all vegetation, topsoil
and existing fill, scarifying to a depth of about 8 inches (except dense gravel), adjusting to
near optimum moisture content and compacting to at least 95% of the maximum standard
Proctor density. Soft subgrade areas may require stabilization prior to fill placement. The
subgrade can probably be stabilized by sub-excavating around 1 to 2 feet and placing
coarse granular soils. Providing a geogrid on the subgrade, such as Tensar TX140, would
help to decrease the amount of coarse granular soils needed for stabilization. Crushed and
processed (angular) base course material, such as CDOT Class 2 road base, is more
compatible with the triaxial geogrid to reduce the depth of coarse granular soils for
stabilization. We should review the field conditions exposed during grading to determine
need for sub-excavation of unsuitable soils and use of a geogrid on the subgrade prior to fill
placement for pavement section construction
Additionally, the report makes recommendations for pavement sections for Flying M Ranch
Road and Subdivision Streets. The selected sections are proposed to be 4” asphalt over 12”
of base course for Flying M Ranch Road and 4” asphalt over 8” of base course for the
18
subdivision roads.
DRAINAGE DESIGN
The design of the Hardwick Crossing PUD drainage was created to provide safe routing of
offsite and onsite storm water through the proposed development and detention ponds. The
storm water facility design will reduce the offsite impacts from the runoff from the site by
detaining storm water from onsite basins. The amount of runoff that will flow downstream
off the site will be reduced for storms less than the 25 year storm event, thus reducing
potential negative impacts on the Roaring Fork River. The detention ponds will also allow
for storm water runoff cleansing, which will reduce pollutant transport to the Roaring Fork
River. For larger pass-through storm events the overflow paths will be the historic paths
over the bank of the Roaring Fork River and into the river corridor. Flows will be spread as
much as possible once they pass through weirs or pipe orifices before being released across
landscape and native grass areas onto the river bank and into the Roaring Fork River.
Stormwater flows in the Commercial area are required to be detained to historic levels for
each lot. Passthrough flows from the commercial area will follow Flying M Ranch Road
to a discharge point near the School District entrance that directs flows back to the Roaring
Fork River along the west side of the property. Release of flows across native grasses and
landscape areas and to the bank of the Roaring Fork River will allow the flows to spread
over the top of slope and into the Roaring Fork River corridor as they have historically.
CONCLUSION
Wastewater System
This preliminary Impact Analysis/Utility report was prepared in compliance with the
Garfield County standards and specifications. The wastewater service is with the Roaring
Fork Water and Sanitation district and extension into this area has been anticipated. A can
and will serve letter have been attached. Extension is based on connecting to prior lines
that were installed to serve the School District. Line sizes were anticipated at that time to
encompass this development and some future development beyond the Hardwick Crossing
19
area as well. Line sizes are well under capacity even including potential future
development. A line extension agreement will be negotiated prior to acceptance of a Final
Plat.
Water Distribution
The Water Distribution service is within the Roaring Fork Water and Sanitation district and
extension into this area has been anticipated. A can and will serve letter has been attached.
Extension is based on connecting to prior lines that were installed to serve the School
District. Line sizes were anticipated at that time to encompass this development and some
future development beyond the Hardwick Crossing PUD area as well. Line sizes were
proposed to provide fire flows in excess of 1500 gallon per minute.
Dry Utilities
Dry utilities also were installed into the Flying M Ranch PUD as a result of the school
construction in 2017. Services will require extension in to the new proposed area from the
stubs along Flying M Ranch Road and CR 154. These extensions have been anticipated
and can and will serve letters have been provided.
Floodplain Analysis
HCE has utilized the most recent available data from FEMA to verify whether the proposed
development will have any impacts from the 100-year Floodplain. Although the floodplain
mapping impacts several small areas, we have verified by elevation that all of the homes are
proposed to be outside of the shown elevations of the January 3, 1986 FEMA Floodplain
mapping plus one foot. The 1986 floodplain was prepared on the 1929 NGVD datum. This
datum is considered outdated and we have converted the elevations from the 1986 mapping
on the 1929 NGVD datum to NAVD 1988 utilizing NGS datum conversion at this Hardwick
Ranch PUD. The 100 year Floodplain was not found to impact any of the proposed lots.
We have provided minimum finish floor elevations for all river lots to make sure that the
elevations are not modified during building permit submittals.
As an additional factor of safety we have identified the minimum finish floor elevations to
be three (3’) feet higher than the interpolated floodplain elevations.

Access and Roadways
The Access to the site is via CR 154 at two different access points ; Flying M Ranch Road
and the proposed Hardwick Ranch Way. Felsburg Holt and Ullevig prepared a traffic
assessment for this development. A summary of their report indicates that:
The intersection of CR 154 with SH 82 would see slightly increased traffic with the proposed
construction of the Hardwick Crossing development. The estimated site generated traffic volumes
are estimated to add an additional 18 vehicles to the intersection of CR 154 with SH 82.
This translates to an increase of 4 percent over the permitted volume of 600 DHV. The increase in
projected peak hour traffic falls below the 20 percent threshold outlined in the CDOT SHAC and a
change in access should not be required.
Turn Lanes:No additional auxiliary turn lanes are recommended at the CO 82/CR 154 intersection.
This signalized intersection is currently equipped with left and right turn deceleration lanes along
CO 82 and the addition of site traffic is not expected to require a northbound right-turn
acceleration based on SHAC requirements (10 vehicles per hour are required and the short term
future peak would reach 8 vehicles per hour with the addition of site traffic).
At the CR 154/Flying M Ranch Road and CR 154/FedEx Ground access intersections, the existing
configurations/turn lanes are expected to remain adequate to accommodate the addition of site
traffic.
At the CR 154 intersection with the southernmost residential site access, it is recommended that
appropriate roadway striping and signing be provided to accommodate movements for right-turn
only in and out.
Emergency access is provided through the development via a loop utilizing Flying M Ranch
Road and the proposed Hardwick Ranch Road.
Access to the commercial area is provided at CR 154 at the southeast end of the site, sharing
existing access with the current Federal Express (FedEx) facility for Lots C1-C4.
Emergency access is provided onto Flying M Ranch Road.

No. 26-7-150, dated March 10, 2026. This report included geologic conditions, subsidence
potential, hydro-compressive and collapsible soils, earthquake considerations, radiation
analysis and preliminary design recommendations.
Some key excerpts include:
The project site is located in the Carbondale Collapse Center, which formed in the late

See Appendix E for the full report.
Drainage
Offsite and onsite storm water drainage has been designed to route safely through the
development to bio-retention ponds via, curb and gutter, swales and storm pipe network.
The drywells and detention ponds will cleanse the storm water, thus reducing pollutant
transport to the Roaring Fork River. For larger pass-through storm events, the overflow will
travel along historic paths over the bank and into the river corridor. Flows will be spread as
22
much as possible through weirs, pipe orifices and rip rap before being released across the
river bank.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a preliminary subsoil study for the proposed Hardwick Crossing
PUD to be located on Lot 2, Eastbank LLC Minor Subdivision, 3927 County Road 154, Garfield
County, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop
recommendations for the foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance with our
agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Western Slope Materials dated February 11,
2026.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain information
on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were
tested in the laboratory to determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other
engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were
analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for
the proposed building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained during this study
and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical engineering
considerations based on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed subdivision will include 28 single family residential lots and indoor and outdoor
storage facilities located generally south and west of the existing school and FedEx developments
as shown on Figure 1. Access into and through the development will mainly be Flying M Ranch
Road with a secondary road for local access.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above,
we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The subject site is 16.98 acres located in the southwest quarter of Section 35, T6S, R89W. The
east potion of the site contains two existing metal-framed structures and a small storage building
that will remain. The site will be accessed by Flying M Ranch Road which crosses through the
middle of the property. The site is bordered on the south by the Roaring Fork River, on the north
by a Fed-Ex ground facility, on the northwest by Riverview Public School and private property to
the southeast and southwest. The proposed building areas on the property are generally gently
to moderately sloping down to the southwest. Vegetation on the site consists of native grass and
weeds, sagebrush and scattered brush and trees.
GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The project site is located in the Carbondale Collapse Center. The Carbondale Collapse Center
formed in the late Cenozoic due to evaporite tectonism. The Eagle Valley Evaporite migrated
plastically upwards and laterally toward the Colorado River and Roaring Fork River bottoms due
to a reduction in vertical stress caused by the erosion of overburden material by the rivers.
Subsidence occurred in areas of the thinned evaporite and beneath the rivers due to dissolution
(Kirkham, and Others, 2003). Much of this subsidence appears to have occurred within the past
3 million years which also corresponds to high incision rates of the Roaring Fork and Crystal
Rivers (Kunk and Others, 2002). It is uncertain if the regional subsidence is still an active
- 2 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
geomorphic process or if evaporite subsidence has stopped. If still active, present deformations
may be occurring at rates similar to past long-term rates of between 0.5 and 1.6 inches per 100
years. These slow deformation rates should not present a potential risk to the proposed
development area.
The project site lies on the axis of the Cattle Creek Anticline. The site also lies on the axis of a
younger (Pleistocene- to Holocene-age) anticline related to evaporite diapirism that essentially
follows the alignment of the Roaring Fork River. The site is underlain by late Pleistocene-age
terrace deposits. The terraces have been back-tilted due to upwelling of the Eagle Valley
Evaporite along the Roaring Fork River (Kirkham and Others, 2014).
HYDRO-COMPRESSIVE AND COLLAPSIBLE SOILS
The variable fill soils encountered at the site tend to settle when they become wetted. A shallow
foundation placed on the variable fill soils will have a risk of settlement if the soils become wetted
and care should be taken in the surface and subsurface drainage around structures in the
proposed development to prevent the soils from becoming wet. It will be critical to the long-term
performance of the structures that the recommendations for surface grading and subsurface
drainage contained in site-specific reports for the individual buildings be followed. Settlement in
the event of subsurface wetting could cause building distress. Removal of the fill, and
replacement in a moisture adjusted and compacted condition is recommended.
EARTHQUAKE CONSIDERATIONS
Historic earthquakes within 150 miles of the project site have typically been moderately strong
with magnitudes less than 5.5 and maximum Modified Mercalli Intensities less than VI. The
largest historic earthquake in the project region occurred in 1882. It was located in the northern
Front Range and had an estimated magnitude of about M6.2 ± 0.3 and a maximum intensity of
VII. Historic ground shaking at the project site associated with the 1882 earthquake and the other
larger historic earthquakes in the region does not appear to have exceeded Modified Mercalli
Intensity VI (Kirkham and Rogers, 1985). Modified Mercalli Intensity VI ground shaking should
be expected during a reasonable exposure time for the residence, but the probability of stronger
ground shaking is low. Intensity VI ground shaking is felt by most people and caused general
alarm, but results in negligible damage to structures of good design and construction.
The U. S. Geological Survey 2014 National Seismic Hazard Maps indicates that a peak ground
acceleration of 0.10g has a 10% exceedance probability for a 50-year exposure time and a peak
ground acceleration of 0.30g has a 2% exceedance probability for a 50-year exposure time at the
project site (Peterson and Others, 2014). This corresponds to a statistical recurrence time of
about 500 years and 2,500 years, respectively. These accelerations are for firm rock sites with
shear wave velocities of 2,500 fps and higher in the upper 100 feet and should be modified for
soil profile amplification at the project site. The seismic soil profile at the project site should be
considered as Class D, stiff soil sites as described in the 2015 International Building Code unless
site specific shear wave velocity studies show otherwise.
RADIATION
The project site is not located on geologic deposits that would be expected to have high
concentration of radioactive minerals. However, there is a potential that radon gas could be
- 3 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
present in the area. It is difficult to assess future radon gas concentrations in buildings before the
buildings are constructed. Testing for radon gas levels could be done when the residences and
other occupied structures have been completed. New buildings are often designed with
provisions for ventilation of lower enclosed areas should post construction testing show
unacceptable radon gas concentration.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the current project was conducted on February 19, and 23, 2026. Five
exploratory borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface
conditions. The borings were advanced with 4-inch diameter continuous flight augers powered
by a truck-mounted CME-45B drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Kumar &
Associates.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1⅜-inch and 2-inch I.D. spoon samplers. The samplers
were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140-pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586.
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are
shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory
for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils encountered generally consist of shallow fill soils up to 5 feet deep underlain by natural
sandy silt and clay with scattered gravel and clayey sand and gravel, further underlain by relatively
dense, native river gravel alluvium. Drilling in the river gravel alluvium with auger equipment was
difficult due to the cobbles and boulders and drilling refusal was encountered in the deposit.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture
content and density, gradation analyses and liquid and plastic limits. Results of swell-
consolidation testing performed on a relatively undisturbed drive sample of the clayey sand soil,
presented on Figure 4, indicate low to moderate compressibility under conditions of loading and
wetting. Results of gradation analyses performed on small diameter drive samples (minus 1½ to
2-inch fraction) of the coarse granular subsoils are shown on Figures 5 and 6. The laboratory
testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsoils were slightly
moist to moist.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The subsoil conditions encountered at the site are variable with respect to type, depth and
engineering characteristics. The fill encountered in the borings is relatively shallow and likely
from previous site grading and should be completely removed down to the natural soils in the
building areas. It appears the subsoils, including man-placed fill, can be reused as structural fill
to a limited depth below the proposed facilities excluding organics, debris and oversize rock.
Based on the near surface natural fine-grained soils and fill soils, relatively thick pavement
- 4 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
sections, preferably with a granular subbase, should be provided for better long-term performance
of the pavements.
Foundations for most of the lightly loaded, single family structures can probably consist of spread
footings or structural slabs placed on the natural soils or compacted structural fill. Structural fill
placed below the building and pavement areas will tend to have long-term settlements and should
be kept relatively shallow, on the order of 10 feet or less especially where fine-grained soils are
used as structural fill. Heavily reinforced structural slabs or structural floors could also be used
to help limit distress caused by differential settlement of fill sections.
Provided below are recommendations for preliminary design of development site grading,
pavement section thicknesses, building foundation alternatives, floor slabs and surface grading
and subsurface drainage. Site specific studies should be conducted to provide detailed design
recommendations for the individual parcel developments and buildings when plans are available.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
SITE GRADING
The on-site soils, excluding topsoil and debris, appear suitable for roadway and building pad
construction with proper processing and placement. Structural fill up to about 10 feet deep placed
for building pads, roadway embankments and below other pavement areas, should be compacted
to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density (SPD) at a moisture content within 2%
of optimum. This will likely require moistening and mixing the materials prior to use as structural
fill. We estimate the onsite soils will have long term settlements of about 1 to 2% of their fill depth
when placed to 95% SPD. Higher degree of compaction for fills greater than about 8 to 10 feet
deep and use of a relatively well graded granular material are desirable to limit fill settlement and
distress to facilities constructed on the fill. Miscellaneous fill can consist of the on-site soils and
should be compacted to at least 90% SPD. We should review the site grading plans when
developed.
Prior to the fill placement, the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing all vegetation,
topsoil and existing fill, scarifying to a depth of about 8 inches (except dense gravel), adjusting to
near optimum moisture content and compacting to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor
density. Soft subgrade areas may require stabilization prior to fill placement. The subgrade can
probably be stabilized by sub-excavating around 1 to 2 feet and placing coarse granular soils.
Providing a geogrid on the subgrade, such as Tensar TX140, would help to decrease the amount
of coarse granular soils needed for stabilization. Crushed and processed (angular) base course
material, such as CDOT Class 2 road base, is more compatible with the triaxial geogrid to reduce
the depth of coarse granular soils for stabilization. We should review the field conditions exposed
during grading to determine need for sub-excavation of unsuitable soils and use of a geogrid on
the subgrade prior to fill placement for pavement section construction.
PAVEMENT SECTION THICKNESS
We understand asphalt pavement is planned for the access and subdivision roads. Traffic
loadings for the roads have not been provided. Based on our experience, we expect Flying M
Ranch Road will classify as a collector street with moderate traffic, and the neighborhood roads
will have low traffic volume typical of residential streets. The traffic will likely include construction
vehicles. There will also likely be some concrete pavement areas.

Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
Subgrade Materials: Pavement design procedures are based on strength properties of the
subgrade and pavement materials assuming stable, uniform subgrade conditions. Certain soils
such as the onsite natural fine-grained soils and fill soils are frost susceptible and could impact
pavement performance. The soils at the site are considered moderately to highly susceptible to
frost action. Frost susceptible soils are problematic when there is a free water source. If those
soils are wetted, the resulting frost heave movements can be large and erratic. Therefore,
pavement design procedures assume dry subgrade conditions by providing proper surface and
subsurface drainage. A granular subbase (12 to 18-inch depth) below the pavement section
would reduce the frost heave potential and increase the support capacity of the subgrade for
pavement sections especially where they are constructed on relatively deep fill section.
The near surface fine-grained soils and fill soils encountered at the site are mainly low plasticity
sandy silts which classify as AASHTO A-2 and A-4. The alluvial fan soils encountered in eastern
part of the development classify as AASHTO A-4 or A-6. These soils are considered a poor
support for pavement materials. From the soil classifications and our experience in the area, we
estimate a Hveem stabilometer 'R' value in the range of 8 to 12 for these fine-grained soils. For
design purposes, the soil support value of the subgrade was selected based on an Hveem 'R'
value of 8 for flexible (asphalt) pavements and a modulus of subgrade reaction of 50 pci was
selected for rigid (portland cement) pavements.
Pavement Section: Since anticipated traffic loading information was not available at the time of
report preparation, an 18-kip equivalent daily load application (EDLA) of about 40 was assumed
for Flying M Ranch Road and about 15 for the neighborhood roads of the subdivision. These
loadings assume some construction traffic and should be reviewed by the project civil engineer.
A Regional Factor of 1.5 was also assumed for this site based on the site terrain, drainage and
climatic conditions. Serviceability Indices of 2.5 and 2.0 were used for Flying M Ranch Road and
the subdivision streets, respectively.
Based on the assumed parameters, the following alternate asphalt surface pavement thickness
sections are recommended.

As an alternative to asphalt pavement and in areas where truck turning movements are
concentrated, or for roadway drainage pans, the pavement section can consist of 6 inches of
portland cement concrete on 6 inches of base course. We should review the pavement section
recommendations when additional information is available.

Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
Pavement Materials: The section thicknesses assume a structural coefficient of 0.44 for the
asphalt surface. The base course should meet CDOT Class 6 specifications. The granular sub-
base material should meet CDOT Class 2 specifications. The concrete should meet CDOT Class
D or P specifications and be air entrained. The material properties and compaction should be in
accordance with the project specifications.
Subgrade Preparation: Recommendations for placing roadway fill were provided above in the
“Site Grading” section of the report. The subgrade in cut and natural soil areas should be scarified
to a depth of 8 inches, adjusted to a moisture content near optimum and compacted to at least
95% of the maximum standard Proctor density. Prior to placing the pavement section, the
subgrade should be proof-rolled with a heavily loaded pneumatic-tired vehicle. Pavement design
procedures assume a stable subgrade. Areas which deform excessively under heavy wheel loads
are not stable and should be removed and replaced to achieve a stable subgrade prior to paving.
Partial sub-excavation of a depth (typically 2 to 3 feet) and replacement with coarse granular soils
and/or Tensar TX-140 geogrid may be needed in existing fill areas and should be further
evaluated at the time of construction.
Drainage: The collection and diversion of surface drainage away from paved areas is extremely
important to the satisfactory performance of pavement. Drainage design should provide for the
removal of water from paved areas and prevent wetting of the subgrade soils. Uphill roadside
ditches should have an invert level at least 1 foot below the road base and subbase or be a
minimum 1-foot depth with a minimum 12-inch thick clayey soil cover. We should review the ditch
detail if a clay soil cover over the base course and subbase is planned.
FOUNDATIONS
Spread Footings and Structural Slab: Bearing conditions will vary depending on the specific
location of the building on the property. Based on the general proposed construction, spread
footings or structural slabs placed on the natural subsoils or structural fill should be suitable at
most of the single-family residence sites. The soils have variable compressibility potential which
could result in differential movement of the foundation especially in areas where the foundation
transitions fine-grained soil to structural fill and if the bearing materials become wetted. We expect
footings can be sized for an allowable bearing pressure of typically 1,500 psf for the natural fine-
grained soils and 2,000 psf to 3,000 psf for the structural fill and dense river gravel alluvium,
respectively. Foundation walls should be designed to span local anomalies and to resist lateral
earth loadings when acting as retaining structures. Below grade areas and retaining walls should
be protected from wetting and hydrostatic loading by use of an underdrain system. The footings
should have a minimum depth of 36 inches for frost protection or be frost protected.
FLOOR SLABS
Slab-on-grade construction should be feasible for bearing on the natural soils or properly placed
and compacted structural fill of limited depth. There could be some post-construction slab
movement at sites with collapsible matrix or fine-grained fill soils especially if the subgrade
becomes wetted. In areas where moisture sensitive soils may be exposed at slab subgrade, sub-
excavation to at least 2 feet and replacement with compacted structural fill may be desirable to
help limit movement potential. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, non-
structural floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion
- 7 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
joints. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. A
minimum 4-inch-thick layer of free draining gravel should underlie basement level slabs to
facilitate drainage.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered in the exploratory borings, it has been our experience
in the area and where there are clayey soils that local perched groundwater can develop during
times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. An underdrain system should be provided to
protect below-grade construction, such as retaining walls, crawlspace and basement areas from
wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup. The drains should consist of drainpipe surrounded
above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should be placed at each
level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum
1% to a suitable gravity outlet. An impervious membrane such as 20 or 30 mil PVC should
typically be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough shape and attached to the foundation wall
with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing soils.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The grading plan for the subdivision should consider runoff from uphill slopes through the project
and at individual sites. Water should not be allowed to pond which could impact slope stability,
pavements and foundations. To limit infiltration into the bearing soils next to buildings, exterior
backfill should be well compacted and have a positive slope away from the building for a distance
of at least 10 feet. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill and landscape irrigation should be restricted. Drywells may be feasible for surface water
disposal where the site is underlain by relatively free draining river gravel alluvium.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the
presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing
in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of
practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the
subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory borings and variations in the subsurface
conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for planning and preliminary
design purposes. We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information.
As the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that
the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may
require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We

I. INTRODUCTION
The proposed development Hardwick Crossing PUD on Lot 2 of the Amended
Plat of Eastbank, LLC is located across the Roaring Fork River, north of the Ironbridge
Golf Course and south of the City of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The site is located
along the west side of County Road 154. The proposed development discussed here in
this report will be for the development of a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The
subject development is located within some existing development including a FedEx
Transfer Facility, the Riverview School and a private residence. Within the development
there currently exits: Former pro diesel automative shop, Equine Hospital, several vacant
lots and a Gould Construction yard. The two lots contain approximately 17.03 acres. The
PUD is proposing to break the project up into 28 units, 7 common areas and 4
commercial lots as well, and each lot will be required to handle their own detention and
storm water management. For this Drainage Study, it will only be dedicated to Lot 2, of
12.20 Acres. See the enclosed Vicinity Map and PUD Map (Exhibit #1 & Exhibit #2) for
site location.
II. SOILS
Within the project site, there is one soil type as designated by the United States
Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service in cooperation with Colorado
Agricultural Experiment Station. The soil type that encompasses the site is designated as
soil 8, Atencio-Azeltine complex, 1 to 3 percent slopes. The Soil Conservation Service
describes the soil as well drained with low to very low water capacity and low to very
low runoff. Soil ‘8’ is defined as hydrologic group ‘B’. A brief description of the soils
has been included on the soils map (Exhibit #3). Kumar prepared a report titled
“PRELIMINARY SUBSOIL STUDY FOR FOUNDATION DESIGN PROPOSED HARDWICK
CROSSING PUD LOT 2, EASTBANK LLC MINOR SUBDIVISION 3927 COUNTY ROAD 154
GARFIELD COUNTY, COLORADO,” Project no. 26-7-150 dated March 10, 2026. (Exhibit#4).

III. HYDROLOGY
The hydrologic methods for this study are outlined in the Soil Conservation
Service (SCS) publication "Procedures for Determining Peak Flows in Colorado" (1980)
and the computer program AutoCAD Hydrology TR-55 Tabular Method. Peak on-site
flows in this area will be primarily rainfall derived since the site is well below 8,000 feet
in elevation. Therefore, the storm drainage system should be more than adequate to
handle on-site spring snowmelt runoff.
The “range, natural” and “smooth surfaces” Manning’s n numbers were used
when determining the time of concentrations for each basin. The “Sagebrush with grass
understory, Fair”, "Open Space, Fair and Good”, “Gravel” and “Asphalt” curve numbers
were used to determine composite curve numbers for the existing and commercial basins
and the “Paved parking lots, roofs, driveways, etc.” and “Open space, Fair” curve
numbers were used to determine the proposed composite curve numbers. Composite
runoff coefficients were determined for each basin. (Exhibit #5).
Per the NOAA maps, the 2-year, 24-hour storm event produces 1.23 inches per
hour, the 25-year, 24-hour storm produces 2.07 inches per hour and the 100-year 24-hour
storm event produces 2.62 inches per hour. (Exhibit #6).
IV. COMMERCIAL BASINS
All fourth Commercial lots for Lot 1 (C1 through C4) will not be analyzed for this
study as each site is responsible for their own drainage and therefore it will be label as a
commercial basin. The commercial basins encompass the former Pro Diesel shop and the
Equine Hospital. Runoff from Commercial C-01 drains following an historic path to the
West, at the intersection between Riverview school and Flying M Ranch Rd, within the
existing school drainage system, going through a culvert pipe crossing Flying M Ranch
- 5 -
and then eventually flowing to Roaring Fork River.
Refer to sheets 3 and 4 in the Exhibits section of this report for the commercial
basin delineation and information. Refer to table 1 for runoff information.
V. EXISTING BASINS
The existing PUD has been broken down into four (4) separate onsite basins.
(See Exhibit #7). Each basin has been analyzed as separate stand-alone basins for
proposed drainage facility design. Basin EX-01 is located in the south eastern portion of
the parcel, just north of Roaring Fork River, and consists of open space. The runoff from
basin EX-01 drains from the north to the south and offsite to the Roaring Fork River.
Basin EX-02 encompasses the eastern portion of the parcel between basin EX-01 and
EX-03 and consists of open space. The runoff from basin EX-02 drains from the North
to the South and offsite to the Roaring Fork River. Basin EX-03 is located in the northern
eastern portion of the parcel, south of County Road 154 and north to EX-02, and consists
of open space. The runoff from basin EX-03 drains from the north to the south and
offsite to the Roaring Fork River. Basin EX-04 encompasses the western portion of Lot
1, and consists of open space. The runoff from basin EX-04 drains from the East to the
West and offsite to the Roaring Fork River.
Refer to the Hydrologic Computations section in the appendices for basin
characteristics and flow information. Refer to Table 1, below for runoff information.

VI. PROPOSED DRAINAGE DESIGN
The proposed development of the PUD calls for the construction of single-family
homes, with parking spaces, an access roadway through the PUD, landscaping and
drainage facilities. (See Exhibit #8).
The proposed drainage basins for the site utilize the same basin boundaries as the
existing drainage basins since each basin will have its own detention facilities . Proposed
basin PR-01 encompasses the southeastern portion of the PUD and encompasses the area
defined by basin EX-01. Single-Family homes (From building number 6 to lot 13),
asphalt, landscaping, concrete, and natural vegetation encompass the area within basin
PR-01. The runoff within basin PR-01 drain to a detention pond via sheet flow and
swales. Proposed basin PR-02 encompasses the same area as existing basin EX-02 and
consists of Single-Family homes (From building number 14 to 20), asphalt, concrete,
landscaping and open space. The runoff from basin PR-02 drains from the northeast to
the southwest side of the basin and eventually to a detention pond within the basin via
sheet and shallow flow. Proposed basin PR-03 encompasses the northeast portion of the
PUD and encompasses the area defined by basin EX-03. Single-Family homes (From
building number 1 to part of building 5), asphalt, landscaping, retaining wall, curb and
gutter, concrete, and natural vegetation encompass the area within basin PR-03. The
runoff within basin PR-03 drain to a detention pond via sheet flow, curb and gutter, curb
inlet and pipes. Proposed basin PR-04 encompasses the western portion of the PUD and
encompasses the area defined by basin EX-04. Single-Family homes (From building
number 21 to building 28), asphalt, landscaping, concrete, and natural vegetation
encompass the area within basin PR-04. The runoff within basin PR-04 drain to a
detention pond via sheet flow has not been determinate at the moment.
The runoff from the commercial basin C-01 will be routed through Flying M.
Ranch, following an historic route and previously reviewed and approved by the County
when developing the Riverview School.

PR-02 1.43 83 22.00 1.195 1.887
PR-03 2.45 81 12.00 2.174 3.526
The detention ponds were designed to detain the 25-year and 100-year storm
events. The outlet weirs from the pond were sized to pass the allowable onsite release
rates from each basin. The following are required detention volumes for each basin can
be seen in the table, below.
Table3. Proposed Detention Volumes
BASIN 25 YR Detention (cf) 100 YR Detention (cf)
PR-01 675 895
PR-02 1,091 1,383
PR-03 1,106 1,734
Drainage basins PR-01, PR-02 and PR-03 were each designed to distribute the
runoff to three separate retention ponds, one for each basin. The outlet weir structures
will be constructed to control the release rates from the ponds to the Roaring Fork River.
The weir for basin 01 will be 5.00’ long and basins 02 and 03 of 2.00’ long, while its
height will vary from each other. Calculations for the basin’s weir can be seen in the
appendices.
If the detention ponds overtop, the runoff will spread out after the weir over rip
rap and will sheet flow to the Roaring Fork River. The sidewalks located around the tops
of the pond will act as a low water crossing to spread the storm water out to reduce
potential erosion of the pond banks.
- 8 -
VII. MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION
The proposed detention ponds will need to be inspected and cleared of debris after
large storm events to preserve the detention volumes. All inlets along the PUD access
roadway will also need to be inspected and cleared of debris after large storm events. All
storm water facilities should be inspected and cleaned of debris quarterly as well.
VIII. CONCLUSION
The design of the Hardwick Crossing PUD was created to provide safe routing of
offsite and onsite storm water through the proposed development and to the detention
ponds. The storm water facility design will reduce the offsite impacts from the runoff
from the site by detaining storm water from onsite basins. The amount of runoff that will
flow downstream off the site will be reduced, thus reducing negative impacts on the
Roaring Fork River. The detention ponds will also allow for storm water runoff
cleansing, which will reduce pollutant transport to the Roaring Fork River.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a preliminary subsoil study for the proposed Hardwick Crossing
PUD to be located on Lot 2, Eastbank LLC Minor Subdivision, 3927 County Road 154, Garfield
County, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop
recommendations for the foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance with our
agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Western Slope Materials dated February 11,
2026.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain information
on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were
tested in the laboratory to determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other
engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were
analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for
the proposed building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained during this study
and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical engineering
considerations based on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed subdivision will include 28 single family residential lots and indoor and outdoor
storage facilities located generally south and west of the existing school and FedEx developments
as shown on Figure 1. Access into and through the development will mainly be Flying M Ranch
Road with a secondary road for local access.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above,
we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The subject site is 16.98 acres located in the southwest quarter of Section 35, T6S, R89W. The
east potion of the site contains two existing metal-framed structures and a small storage building
that will remain. The site will be accessed by Flying M Ranch Road which crosses through the
middle of the property. The site is bordered on the south by the Roaring Fork River, on the north
by a Fed-Ex ground facility, on the northwest by Riverview Public School and private property to
the southeast and southwest. The proposed building areas on the property are generally gently
to moderately sloping down to the southwest. Vegetation on the site consists of native grass and
weeds, sagebrush and scattered brush and trees.
GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The project site is located in the Carbondale Collapse Center. The Carbondale Collapse Center
formed in the late Cenozoic due to evaporite tectonism. The Eagle Valley Evaporite migrated
plastically upwards and laterally toward the Colorado River and Roaring Fork River bottoms due
to a reduction in vertical stress caused by the erosion of overburden material by the rivers.
Subsidence occurred in areas of the thinned evaporite and beneath the rivers due to dissolution
(Kirkham, and Others, 2003). Much of this subsidence appears to have occurred within the past
3 million years which also corresponds to high incision rates of the Roaring Fork and Crystal
Rivers (Kunk and Others, 2002). It is uncertain if the regional subsidence is still an active
- 2 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
geomorphic process or if evaporite subsidence has stopped. If still active, present deformations
may be occurring at rates similar to past long-term rates of between 0.5 and 1.6 inches per 100
years. These slow deformation rates should not present a potential risk to the proposed
development area.
The project site lies on the axis of the Cattle Creek Anticline. The site also lies on the axis of a
younger (Pleistocene- to Holocene-age) anticline related to evaporite diapirism that essentially
follows the alignment of the Roaring Fork River. The site is underlain by late Pleistocene-age
terrace deposits. The terraces have been back-tilted due to upwelling of the Eagle Valley
Evaporite along the Roaring Fork River (Kirkham and Others, 2014).
HYDRO-COMPRESSIVE AND COLLAPSIBLE SOILS
The variable fill soils encountered at the site tend to settle when they become wetted. A shallow
foundation placed on the variable fill soils will have a risk of settlement if the soils become wetted
and care should be taken in the surface and subsurface drainage around structures in the
proposed development to prevent the soils from becoming wet. It will be critical to the long-term
performance of the structures that the recommendations for surface grading and subsurface
drainage contained in site-specific reports for the individual buildings be followed. Settlement in
the event of subsurface wetting could cause building distress. Removal of the fill, and
replacement in a moisture adjusted and compacted condition is recommended.
EARTHQUAKE CONSIDERATIONS
Historic earthquakes within 150 miles of the project site have typically been moderately strong
with magnitudes less than 5.5 and maximum Modified Mercalli Intensities less than VI. The
largest historic earthquake in the project region occurred in 1882. It was located in the northern
Front Range and had an estimated magnitude of about M6.2 ± 0.3 and a maximum intensity of
VII. Historic ground shaking at the project site associated with the 1882 earthquake and the other
larger historic earthquakes in the region does not appear to have exceeded Modified Mercalli
Intensity VI (Kirkham and Rogers, 1985). Modified Mercalli Intensity VI ground shaking should
be expected during a reasonable exposure time for the residence, but the probability of stronger
ground shaking is low. Intensity VI ground shaking is felt by most people and caused general
alarm, but results in negligible damage to structures of good design and construction.
The U. S. Geological Survey 2014 National Seismic Hazard Maps indicates that a peak ground
acceleration of 0.10g has a 10% exceedance probability for a 50-year exposure time and a peak
ground acceleration of 0.30g has a 2% exceedance probability for a 50-year exposure time at the
project site (Peterson and Others, 2014). This corresponds to a statistical recurrence time of
about 500 years and 2,500 years, respectively. These accelerations are for firm rock sites with
shear wave velocities of 2,500 fps and higher in the upper 100 feet and should be modified for
soil profile amplification at the project site. The seismic soil profile at the project site should be
considered as Class D, stiff soil sites as described in the 2015 International Building Code unless
site specific shear wave velocity studies show otherwise.
RADIATION
The project site is not located on geologic deposits that would be expected to have high
concentration of radioactive minerals. However, there is a potential that radon gas could be
- 3 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
present in the area. It is difficult to assess future radon gas concentrations in buildings before the
buildings are constructed. Testing for radon gas levels could be done when the residences and
other occupied structures have been completed. New buildings are often designed with
provisions for ventilation of lower enclosed areas should post construction testing show
unacceptable radon gas concentration.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the current project was conducted on February 19, and 23, 2026. Five
exploratory borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface
conditions. The borings were advanced with 4-inch diameter continuous flight augers powered
by a truck-mounted CME-45B drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Kumar &
Associates.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1⅜-inch and 2-inch I.D. spoon samplers. The samplers
were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140-pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586.
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are
shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory
for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils encountered generally consist of shallow fill soils up to 5 feet deep underlain by natural
sandy silt and clay with scattered gravel and clayey sand and gravel, further underlain by relatively
dense, native river gravel alluvium. Drilling in the river gravel alluvium with auger equipment was
difficult due to the cobbles and boulders and drilling refusal was encountered in the deposit.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture
content and density, gradation analyses and liquid and plastic limits. Results of swell-
consolidation testing performed on a relatively undisturbed drive sample of the clayey sand soil,
presented on Figure 4, indicate low to moderate compressibility under conditions of loading and
wetting. Results of gradation analyses performed on small diameter drive samples (minus 1½ to
2-inch fraction) of the coarse granular subsoils are shown on Figures 5 and 6. The laboratory
testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsoils were slightly
moist to moist.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The subsoil conditions encountered at the site are variable with respect to type, depth and
engineering characteristics. The fill encountered in the borings is relatively shallow and likely
from previous site grading and should be completely removed down to the natural soils in the
building areas. It appears the subsoils, including man-placed fill, can be reused as structural fill
to a limited depth below the proposed facilities excluding organics, debris and oversize rock.
Based on the near surface natural fine-grained soils and fill soils, relatively thick pavement
- 4 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
sections, preferably with a granular subbase, should be provided for better long-term performance
of the pavements.
Foundations for most of the lightly loaded, single family structures can probably consist of spread
footings or structural slabs placed on the natural soils or compacted structural fill. Structural fill
placed below the building and pavement areas will tend to have long-term settlements and should
be kept relatively shallow, on the order of 10 feet or less especially where fine-grained soils are
used as structural fill. Heavily reinforced structural slabs or structural floors could also be used
to help limit distress caused by differential settlement of fill sections.
Provided below are recommendations for preliminary design of development site grading,
pavement section thicknesses, building foundation alternatives, floor slabs and surface grading
and subsurface drainage. Site specific studies should be conducted to provide detailed design
recommendations for the individual parcel developments and buildings when plans are available.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
SITE GRADING
The on-site soils, excluding topsoil and debris, appear suitable for roadway and building pad
construction with proper processing and placement. Structural fill up to about 10 feet deep placed
for building pads, roadway embankments and below other pavement areas, should be compacted
to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density (SPD) at a moisture content within 2%
of optimum. This will likely require moistening and mixing the materials prior to use as structural
fill. We estimate the onsite soils will have long term settlements of about 1 to 2% of their fill depth
when placed to 95% SPD. Higher degree of compaction for fills greater than about 8 to 10 feet
deep and use of a relatively well graded granular material are desirable to limit fill settlement and
distress to facilities constructed on the fill. Miscellaneous fill can consist of the on-site soils and
should be compacted to at least 90% SPD. We should review the site grading plans when
developed.
Prior to the fill placement, the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing all vegetation,
topsoil and existing fill, scarifying to a depth of about 8 inches (except dense gravel), adjusting to
near optimum moisture content and compacting to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor
density. Soft subgrade areas may require stabilization prior to fill placement. The subgrade can
probably be stabilized by sub-excavating around 1 to 2 feet and placing coarse granular soils.
Providing a geogrid on the subgrade, such as Tensar TX140, would help to decrease the amount
of coarse granular soils needed for stabilization. Crushed and processed (angular) base course
material, such as CDOT Class 2 road base, is more compatible with the triaxial geogrid to reduce
the depth of coarse granular soils for stabilization. We should review the field conditions exposed
during grading to determine need for sub-excavation of unsuitable soils and use of a geogrid on
the subgrade prior to fill placement for pavement section construction.
PAVEMENT SECTION THICKNESS
We understand asphalt pavement is planned for the access and subdivision roads. Traffic
loadings for the roads have not been provided. Based on our experience, we expect Flying M
Ranch Road will classify as a collector street with moderate traffic, and the neighborhood roads
will have low traffic volume typical of residential streets. The traffic will likely include construction
vehicles. There will also likely be some concrete pavement areas.

Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
Subgrade Materials: Pavement design procedures are based on strength properties of the
subgrade and pavement materials assuming stable, uniform subgrade conditions. Certain soils
such as the onsite natural fine-grained soils and fill soils are frost susceptible and could impact
pavement performance. The soils at the site are considered moderately to highly susceptible to
frost action. Frost susceptible soils are problematic when there is a free water source. If those
soils are wetted, the resulting frost heave movements can be large and erratic. Therefore,
pavement design procedures assume dry subgrade conditions by providing proper surface and
subsurface drainage. A granular subbase (12 to 18-inch depth) below the pavement section
would reduce the frost heave potential and increase the support capacity of the subgrade for
pavement sections especially where they are constructed on relatively deep fill section.
The near surface fine-grained soils and fill soils encountered at the site are mainly low plasticity
sandy silts which classify as AASHTO A-2 and A-4. The alluvial fan soils encountered in eastern
part of the development classify as AASHTO A-4 or A-6. These soils are considered a poor
support for pavement materials. From the soil classifications and our experience in the area, we
estimate a Hveem stabilometer 'R' value in the range of 8 to 12 for these fine-grained soils. For
design purposes, the soil support value of the subgrade was selected based on an Hveem 'R'
value of 8 for flexible (asphalt) pavements and a modulus of subgrade reaction of 50 pci was
selected for rigid (portland cement) pavements.
Pavement Section: Since anticipated traffic loading information was not available at the time of
report preparation, an 18-kip equivalent daily load application (EDLA) of about 40 was assumed
for Flying M Ranch Road and about 15 for the neighborhood roads of the subdivision. These
loadings assume some construction traffic and should be reviewed by the project civil engineer.
A Regional Factor of 1.5 was also assumed for this site based on the site terrain, drainage and
climatic conditions. Serviceability Indices of 2.5 and 2.0 were used for Flying M Ranch Road and
the subdivision streets, respectively.
Based on the assumed parameters, the following alternate asphalt surface pavement thickness
sections are recommended.

*CDOT Class 2 Aggregate Base Course (minus 4-inch road base)
As an alternative to asphalt pavement and in areas where truck turning movements are
concentrated, or for roadway drainage pans, the pavement section can consist of 6 inches of
portland cement concrete on 6 inches of base course. We should review the pavement section
recommendations when additional information is available.

Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
Pavement Materials: The section thicknesses assume a structural coefficient of 0.44 for the
asphalt surface. The base course should meet CDOT Class 6 specifications. The granular sub-
base material should meet CDOT Class 2 specifications. The concrete should meet CDOT Class
D or P specifications and be air entrained. The material properties and compaction should be in
accordance with the project specifications.
Subgrade Preparation: Recommendations for placing roadway fill were provided above in the
“Site Grading” section of the report. The subgrade in cut and natural soil areas should be scarified
to a depth of 8 inches, adjusted to a moisture content near optimum and compacted to at least
95% of the maximum standard Proctor density. Prior to placing the pavement section, the
subgrade should be proof-rolled with a heavily loaded pneumatic-tired vehicle. Pavement design
procedures assume a stable subgrade. Areas which deform excessively under heavy wheel loads
are not stable and should be removed and replaced to achieve a stable subgrade prior to paving.
Partial sub-excavation of a depth (typically 2 to 3 feet) and replacement with coarse granular soils
and/or Tensar TX-140 geogrid may be needed in existing fill areas and should be further
evaluated at the time of construction.
Drainage: The collection and diversion of surface drainage away from paved areas is extremely
important to the satisfactory performance of pavement. Drainage design should provide for the
removal of water from paved areas and prevent wetting of the subgrade soils. Uphill roadside
ditches should have an invert level at least 1 foot below the road base and subbase or be a
minimum 1-foot depth with a minimum 12-inch thick clayey soil cover. We should review the ditch
detail if a clay soil cover over the base course and subbase is planned.
FOUNDATIONS
Spread Footings and Structural Slab: Bearing conditions will vary depending on the specific
location of the building on the property. Based on the general proposed construction, spread
footings or structural slabs placed on the natural subsoils or structural fill should be suitable at
most of the single-family residence sites. The soils have variable compressibility potential which
could result in differential movement of the foundation especially in areas where the foundation
transitions fine-grained soil to structural fill and if the bearing materials become wetted. We expect
footings can be sized for an allowable bearing pressure of typically 1,500 psf for the natural fine-
grained soils and 2,000 psf to 3,000 psf for the structural fill and dense river gravel alluvium,
respectively. Foundation walls should be designed to span local anomalies and to resist lateral
earth loadings when acting as retaining structures. Below grade areas and retaining walls should
be protected from wetting and hydrostatic loading by use of an underdrain system. The footings
should have a minimum depth of 36 inches for frost protection or be frost protected.
FLOOR SLABS
Slab-on-grade construction should be feasible for bearing on the natural soils or properly placed
and compacted structural fill of limited depth. There could be some post-construction slab
movement at sites with collapsible matrix or fine-grained fill soils especially if the subgrade
becomes wetted. In areas where moisture sensitive soils may be exposed at slab subgrade, sub-
excavation to at least 2 feet and replacement with compacted structural fill may be desirable to
help limit movement potential. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, non-
structural floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion
- 7 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
joints. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. A
minimum 4-inch-thick layer of free draining gravel should underlie basement level slabs to
facilitate drainage.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered in the exploratory borings, it has been our experience
in the area and where there are clayey soils that local perched groundwater can develop during
times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. An underdrain system should be provided to
protect below-grade construction, such as retaining walls, crawlspace and basement areas from
wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup. The drains should consist of drainpipe surrounded
above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should be placed at each
level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum
1% to a suitable gravity outlet. An impervious membrane such as 20 or 30 mil PVC should
typically be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough shape and attached to the foundation wall
with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing soils.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The grading plan for the subdivision should consider runoff from uphill slopes through the project
and at individual sites. Water should not be allowed to pond which could impact slope stability,
pavements and foundations. To limit infiltration into the bearing soils next to buildings, exterior
backfill should be well compacted and have a positive slope away from the building for a distance
of at least 10 feet. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill and landscape irrigation should be restricted. Drywells may be feasible for surface water
disposal where the site is underlain by relatively free draining river gravel alluvium.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the
presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing
in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of
practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the
subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory borings and variations in the subsurface
conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for planning and preliminary
design purposes. We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information.
As the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that
the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may
require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We

NOTE:
FEMA flood plain mapping from panel 080205 1465 B dated
January 3, 1986 is based on a vertical datum of NGVD 1929.
Elevations shown on this mapping is NAVD 1988.
Floodplain elevations from the mapping panel were interpolated and
converted from NGVD 1929 to NAVD 1988.
Ground elevations are NAVD 1988 and the actual flood elevation line is
shown based on the interpolated and converted floodplain elevations.
Finish floor elevations are 3'+/- above the interpolated and converted
floodplain elevation lines to be more conservative than the required 1'
above.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY
This report presents the results of a preliminary subsoil study for the proposed Hardwick Crossing
PUD to be located on Lot 2, Eastbank LLC Minor Subdivision, 3927 County Road 154, Garfield
County, Colorado. The project site is shown on Figure 1. The purpose of the study was to develop
recommendations for the foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance with our
agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Western Slope Materials dated February 11,
2026.
A field exploration program consisting of exploratory borings was conducted to obtain information
on the subsurface conditions. Samples of the subsoils obtained during the field exploration were
tested in the laboratory to determine their classification, compressibility or swell and other
engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were
analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for
the proposed building foundation. This report summarizes the data obtained during this study
and presents our conclusions, design recommendations and other geotechnical engineering
considerations based on the proposed construction and the subsurface conditions encountered.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
The proposed subdivision will include 28 single family residential lots and indoor and outdoor
storage facilities located generally south and west of the existing school and FedEx developments
as shown on Figure 1. Access into and through the development will mainly be Flying M Ranch
Road with a secondary road for local access.
If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above,
we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations contained in this report.
SITE CONDITIONS
The subject site is 16.98 acres located in the southwest quarter of Section 35, T6S, R89W. The
east potion of the site contains two existing metal-framed structures and a small storage building
that will remain. The site will be accessed by Flying M Ranch Road which crosses through the
middle of the property. The site is bordered on the south by the Roaring Fork River, on the north
by a Fed-Ex ground facility, on the northwest by Riverview Public School and private property to
the southeast and southwest. The proposed building areas on the property are generally gently
to moderately sloping down to the southwest. Vegetation on the site consists of native grass and
weeds, sagebrush and scattered brush and trees.
GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS
The project site is located in the Carbondale Collapse Center. The Carbondale Collapse Center
formed in the late Cenozoic due to evaporite tectonism. The Eagle Valley Evaporite migrated
plastically upwards and laterally toward the Colorado River and Roaring Fork River bottoms due
to a reduction in vertical stress caused by the erosion of overburden material by the rivers.
Subsidence occurred in areas of the thinned evaporite and beneath the rivers due to dissolution
(Kirkham, and Others, 2003). Much of this subsidence appears to have occurred within the past
3 million years which also corresponds to high incision rates of the Roaring Fork and Crystal
Rivers (Kunk and Others, 2002). It is uncertain if the regional subsidence is still an active
- 2 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
geomorphic process or if evaporite subsidence has stopped. If still active, present deformations
may be occurring at rates similar to past long-term rates of between 0.5 and 1.6 inches per 100
years. These slow deformation rates should not present a potential risk to the proposed
development area.
The project site lies on the axis of the Cattle Creek Anticline. The site also lies on the axis of a
younger (Pleistocene- to Holocene-age) anticline related to evaporite diapirism that essentially
follows the alignment of the Roaring Fork River. The site is underlain by late Pleistocene-age
terrace deposits. The terraces have been back-tilted due to upwelling of the Eagle Valley
Evaporite along the Roaring Fork River (Kirkham and Others, 2014).
HYDRO-COMPRESSIVE AND COLLAPSIBLE SOILS
The variable fill soils encountered at the site tend to settle when they become wetted. A shallow
foundation placed on the variable fill soils will have a risk of settlement if the soils become wetted
and care should be taken in the surface and subsurface drainage around structures in the
proposed development to prevent the soils from becoming wet. It will be critical to the long-term
performance of the structures that the recommendations for surface grading and subsurface
drainage contained in site-specific reports for the individual buildings be followed. Settlement in
the event of subsurface wetting could cause building distress. Removal of the fill, and
replacement in a moisture adjusted and compacted condition is recommended.
EARTHQUAKE CONSIDERATIONS
Historic earthquakes within 150 miles of the project site have typically been moderately strong
with magnitudes less than 5.5 and maximum Modified Mercalli Intensities less than VI. The
largest historic earthquake in the project region occurred in 1882. It was located in the northern
Front Range and had an estimated magnitude of about M6.2 ± 0.3 and a maximum intensity of
VII. Historic ground shaking at the project site associated with the 1882 earthquake and the other
larger historic earthquakes in the region does not appear to have exceeded Modified Mercalli
Intensity VI (Kirkham and Rogers, 1985). Modified Mercalli Intensity VI ground shaking should
be expected during a reasonable exposure time for the residence, but the probability of stronger
ground shaking is low. Intensity VI ground shaking is felt by most people and caused general
alarm, but results in negligible damage to structures of good design and construction.
The U. S. Geological Survey 2014 National Seismic Hazard Maps indicates that a peak ground
acceleration of 0.10g has a 10% exceedance probability for a 50-year exposure time and a peak
ground acceleration of 0.30g has a 2% exceedance probability for a 50-year exposure time at the
project site (Peterson and Others, 2014). This corresponds to a statistical recurrence time of
about 500 years and 2,500 years, respectively. These accelerations are for firm rock sites with
shear wave velocities of 2,500 fps and higher in the upper 100 feet and should be modified for
soil profile amplification at the project site. The seismic soil profile at the project site should be
considered as Class D, stiff soil sites as described in the 2015 International Building Code unless
site specific shear wave velocity studies show otherwise.
RADIATION
The project site is not located on geologic deposits that would be expected to have high
concentration of radioactive minerals. However, there is a potential that radon gas could be
- 3 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
present in the area. It is difficult to assess future radon gas concentrations in buildings before the
buildings are constructed. Testing for radon gas levels could be done when the residences and
other occupied structures have been completed. New buildings are often designed with
provisions for ventilation of lower enclosed areas should post construction testing show
unacceptable radon gas concentration.
FIELD EXPLORATION
The field exploration for the current project was conducted on February 19, and 23, 2026. Five
exploratory borings were drilled at the locations shown on Figure 1 to evaluate the subsurface
conditions. The borings were advanced with 4-inch diameter continuous flight augers powered
by a truck-mounted CME-45B drill rig. The borings were logged by a representative of Kumar &
Associates.
Samples of the subsoils were taken with 1⅜-inch and 2-inch I.D. spoon samplers. The samplers
were driven into the subsoils at various depths with blows from a 140-pound hammer falling 30
inches. This test is similar to the standard penetration test described by ASTM Method D-1586.
The penetration resistance values are an indication of the relative density or consistency of the
subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken and the penetration resistance values are
shown on the Logs of Exploratory Borings, Figure 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory
for review by the project engineer and testing.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Graphic logs of the subsurface conditions encountered at the site are shown on Figure 2. The
subsoils encountered generally consist of shallow fill soils up to 5 feet deep underlain by natural
sandy silt and clay with scattered gravel and clayey sand and gravel, further underlain by relatively
dense, native river gravel alluvium. Drilling in the river gravel alluvium with auger equipment was
difficult due to the cobbles and boulders and drilling refusal was encountered in the deposit.
Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained from the borings included natural moisture
content and density, gradation analyses and liquid and plastic limits. Results of swell-
consolidation testing performed on a relatively undisturbed drive sample of the clayey sand soil,
presented on Figure 4, indicate low to moderate compressibility under conditions of loading and
wetting. Results of gradation analyses performed on small diameter drive samples (minus 1½ to
2-inch fraction) of the coarse granular subsoils are shown on Figures 5 and 6. The laboratory
testing is summarized in Table 1.
No free water was encountered in the borings at the time of drilling and the subsoils were slightly
moist to moist.
FOUNDATION BEARING CONDITIONS
The subsoil conditions encountered at the site are variable with respect to type, depth and
engineering characteristics. The fill encountered in the borings is relatively shallow and likely
from previous site grading and should be completely removed down to the natural soils in the
building areas. It appears the subsoils, including man-placed fill, can be reused as structural fill
to a limited depth below the proposed facilities excluding organics, debris and oversize rock.
Based on the near surface natural fine-grained soils and fill soils, relatively thick pavement
- 4 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
sections, preferably with a granular subbase, should be provided for better long-term performance
of the pavements.
Foundations for most of the lightly loaded, single family structures can probably consist of spread
footings or structural slabs placed on the natural soils or compacted structural fill. Structural fill
placed below the building and pavement areas will tend to have long-term settlements and should
be kept relatively shallow, on the order of 10 feet or less especially where fine-grained soils are
used as structural fill. Heavily reinforced structural slabs or structural floors could also be used
to help limit distress caused by differential settlement of fill sections.
Provided below are recommendations for preliminary design of development site grading,
pavement section thicknesses, building foundation alternatives, floor slabs and surface grading
and subsurface drainage. Site specific studies should be conducted to provide detailed design
recommendations for the individual parcel developments and buildings when plans are available.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
SITE GRADING
The on-site soils, excluding topsoil and debris, appear suitable for roadway and building pad
construction with proper processing and placement. Structural fill up to about 10 feet deep placed
for building pads, roadway embankments and below other pavement areas, should be compacted
to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density (SPD) at a moisture content within 2%
of optimum. This will likely require moistening and mixing the materials prior to use as structural
fill. We estimate the onsite soils will have long term settlements of about 1 to 2% of their fill depth
when placed to 95% SPD. Higher degree of compaction for fills greater than about 8 to 10 feet
deep and use of a relatively well graded granular material are desirable to limit fill settlement and
distress to facilities constructed on the fill. Miscellaneous fill can consist of the on-site soils and
should be compacted to at least 90% SPD. We should review the site grading plans when
developed.
Prior to the fill placement, the subgrade should be carefully prepared by removing all vegetation,
topsoil and existing fill, scarifying to a depth of about 8 inches (except dense gravel), adjusting to
near optimum moisture content and compacting to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor
density. Soft subgrade areas may require stabilization prior to fill placement. The subgrade can
probably be stabilized by sub-excavating around 1 to 2 feet and placing coarse granular soils.
Providing a geogrid on the subgrade, such as Tensar TX140, would help to decrease the amount
of coarse granular soils needed for stabilization. Crushed and processed (angular) base course
material, such as CDOT Class 2 road base, is more compatible with the triaxial geogrid to reduce
the depth of coarse granular soils for stabilization. We should review the field conditions exposed
during grading to determine need for sub-excavation of unsuitable soils and use of a geogrid on
the subgrade prior to fill placement for pavement section construction.
PAVEMENT SECTION THICKNESS
We understand asphalt pavement is planned for the access and subdivision roads. Traffic
loadings for the roads have not been provided. Based on our experience, we expect Flying M
Ranch Road will classify as a collector street with moderate traffic, and the neighborhood roads
will have low traffic volume typical of residential streets. The traffic will likely include construction
vehicles. There will also likely be some concrete pavement areas.

Subgrade Materials: Pavement design procedures are based on strength properties of the
subgrade and pavement materials assuming stable, uniform subgrade conditions. Certain soils
such as the onsite natural fine-grained soils and fill soils are frost susceptible and could impact
pavement performance. The soils at the site are considered moderately to highly susceptible to
frost action. Frost susceptible soils are problematic when there is a free water source. If those
soils are wetted, the resulting frost heave movements can be large and erratic. Therefore,
pavement design procedures assume dry subgrade conditions by providing proper surface and
subsurface drainage. A granular subbase (12 to 18-inch depth) below the pavement section
would reduce the frost heave potential and increase the support capacity of the subgrade for
pavement sections especially where they are constructed on relatively deep fill section.
The near surface fine-grained soils and fill soils encountered at the site are mainly low plasticity
sandy silts which classify as AASHTO A-2 and A-4. The alluvial fan soils encountered in eastern
part of the development classify as AASHTO A-4 or A-6. These soils are considered a poor
support for pavement materials. From the soil classifications and our experience in the area, we
estimate a Hveem stabilometer 'R' value in the range of 8 to 12 for these fine-grained soils. For
design purposes, the soil support value of the subgrade was selected based on an Hveem 'R'
value of 8 for flexible (asphalt) pavements and a modulus of subgrade reaction of 50 pci was
selected for rigid (portland cement) pavements.
Pavement Section: Since anticipated traffic loading information was not available at the time of
report preparation, an 18-kip equivalent daily load application (EDLA) of about 40 was assumed
for Flying M Ranch Road and about 15 for the neighborhood roads of the subdivision. These
loadings assume some construction traffic and should be reviewed by the project civil engineer.
A Regional Factor of 1.5 was also assumed for this site based on the site terrain, drainage and
climatic conditions. Serviceability Indices of 2.5 and 2.0 were used for Flying M Ranch Road and
the subdivision streets, respectively.
Based on the assumed parameters, the following alternate asphalt surface pavement thickness
sections are recommended.

As an alternative to asphalt pavement and in areas where truck turning movements are
concentrated, or for roadway drainage pans, the pavement section can consist of 6 inches of
portland cement concrete on 6 inches of base course. We should review the pavement section
recommendations when additional information is available.

Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
Pavement Materials: The section thicknesses assume a structural coefficient of 0.44 for the
asphalt surface. The base course should meet CDOT Class 6 specifications. The granular sub-
base material should meet CDOT Class 2 specifications. The concrete should meet CDOT Class
D or P specifications and be air entrained. The material properties and compaction should be in
accordance with the project specifications.
Subgrade Preparation: Recommendations for placing roadway fill were provided above in the
“Site Grading” section of the report. The subgrade in cut and natural soil areas should be scarified
to a depth of 8 inches, adjusted to a moisture content near optimum and compacted to at least
95% of the maximum standard Proctor density. Prior to placing the pavement section, the
subgrade should be proof-rolled with a heavily loaded pneumatic-tired vehicle. Pavement design
procedures assume a stable subgrade. Areas which deform excessively under heavy wheel loads
are not stable and should be removed and replaced to achieve a stable subgrade prior to paving.
Partial sub-excavation of a depth (typically 2 to 3 feet) and replacement with coarse granular soils
and/or Tensar TX-140 geogrid may be needed in existing fill areas and should be further
evaluated at the time of construction.
Drainage: The collection and diversion of surface drainage away from paved areas is extremely
important to the satisfactory performance of pavement. Drainage design should provide for the
removal of water from paved areas and prevent wetting of the subgrade soils. Uphill roadside
ditches should have an invert level at least 1 foot below the road base and subbase or be a
minimum 1-foot depth with a minimum 12-inch thick clayey soil cover. We should review the ditch
detail if a clay soil cover over the base course and subbase is planned.
FOUNDATIONS
Spread Footings and Structural Slab: Bearing conditions will vary depending on the specific
location of the building on the property. Based on the general proposed construction, spread
footings or structural slabs placed on the natural subsoils or structural fill should be suitable at
most of the single-family residence sites. The soils have variable compressibility potential which
could result in differential movement of the foundation especially in areas where the foundation
transitions fine-grained soil to structural fill and if the bearing materials become wetted. We expect
footings can be sized for an allowable bearing pressure of typically 1,500 psf for the natural fine-
grained soils and 2,000 psf to 3,000 psf for the structural fill and dense river gravel alluvium,
respectively. Foundation walls should be designed to span local anomalies and to resist lateral
earth loadings when acting as retaining structures. Below grade areas and retaining walls should
be protected from wetting and hydrostatic loading by use of an underdrain system. The footings
should have a minimum depth of 36 inches for frost protection or be frost protected.
FLOOR SLABS
Slab-on-grade construction should be feasible for bearing on the natural soils or properly placed
and compacted structural fill of limited depth. There could be some post-construction slab
movement at sites with collapsible matrix or fine-grained fill soils especially if the subgrade
becomes wetted. In areas where moisture sensitive soils may be exposed at slab subgrade, sub-
excavation to at least 2 feet and replacement with compacted structural fill may be desirable to
help limit movement potential. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, non-
structural floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion
- 7 -
Kumar & Associates, Inc. ® Project No. 26-7-150
joints. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. A
minimum 4-inch-thick layer of free draining gravel should underlie basement level slabs to
facilitate drainage.
UNDERDRAIN SYSTEM
Although free water was not encountered in the exploratory borings, it has been our experience
in the area and where there are clayey soils that local perched groundwater can develop during
times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff. An underdrain system should be provided to
protect below-grade construction, such as retaining walls, crawlspace and basement areas from
wetting and hydrostatic pressure buildup. The drains should consist of drainpipe surrounded
above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should be placed at each
level of excavation and at least 1 foot below lowest adjacent finish grade and sloped at a minimum
1% to a suitable gravity outlet. An impervious membrane such as 20 or 30 mil PVC should
typically be placed beneath the drain gravel in a trough shape and attached to the foundation wall
with mastic to prevent wetting of the bearing soils.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
The grading plan for the subdivision should consider runoff from uphill slopes through the project
and at individual sites. Water should not be allowed to pond which could impact slope stability,
pavements and foundations. To limit infiltration into the bearing soils next to buildings, exterior
backfill should be well compacted and have a positive slope away from the building for a distance
of at least 10 feet. Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill and landscape irrigation should be restricted. Drywells may be feasible for surface water
disposal where the site is underlain by relatively free draining river gravel alluvium.
LIMITATIONS
This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no warranty either express or implied.
The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained
from the exploratory borings drilled at the locations indicated on Figure 1, the proposed type of
construction and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the
presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC) developing
in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in this special field of
practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and extrapolation of the
subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory borings and variations in the subsurface
conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If conditions encountered
during construction appear different from those described in this report, we should be notified so
that re-evaluation of the recommendations may be made.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for planning and preliminary
design purposes. We are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information.
As the project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to verify that
the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design changes may
require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations presented herein. We

RE: Hardwick Crossing Traffic Assessment (FHU Project No. 125400-29)
Dear Mr. Stewart:
Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU) has developed this traffic assessment of the proposed development of Hardwick
Crossing in Garfield County, Colorado. Per request of Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)
Region 3 and Garfield County traffic reviewers, the analysis contains a:
• review of the current development and site access/circulation plan,
• existing traffic volumes
• a trip generation analysis of the proposed development,
• traffic assignment of estimated site vehicle-trips to the surrounding roadway network and intersections,
and
• an evaluation of traffic volume impacts and commentary on access permitting and auxiliary lane
requirements.
The content herein addresses basic requirements of a Level 2 CDOT Assessment. The purpose of a Level 2
Assessment is to document the project trip generation and to determine auxiliary turn lane requirements at the
proposed access points within the immediate study area.
Site Plan
The proposed development site plan is shown on Figure 1. The site would occupy approximately 12 Acres of
land that is mostly undeveloped, with part of the land now occupied by a construction storage yard that would
be removed upon site development. The site is located south of the existing FedEx Ground shipping facility and
east of the Riverview K-8 School. The proposed development would include 28 single family homes and 29
rental storage units to be used to store large vehicles and items. Four employee housing apartment would also
be provided on-site.
As shown, the property would be accessed via four full movement connections that all currently exist, including:
1) Existing shared access to Garfield County Road (CR) 154 with the FedEx facility, 2) shared access to Flying M
Ranch Road with the existing veterinary clinic and 3) Residential access to Flying M Ranch Road which connects
March 6, 2026
Mr. Travis Stewart
Page 2
to CR 154, and 4) a existing access to CR 154 located east of the CR 154/Flying M Ranch Road intersection that
would be relocated approximately 100 feet farther south to serve the residential properties as a Right-In/Right-
Out connection. This connection would be titled Hardwick Ranch Road.
Existing Traffic Volumes
Figure 2 depicts weekday AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes recorded in the Year 2022 at CR 154
intersections with Colorado State Highway (CO) 82, the FedEx Ground access and Flying M Ranch Road. To
reflect Year 2026 conditions, these recorded traffic volumes were increased at a annual growth rate of 1.10
percent as addressed within the CDOT Online Transportation Information System (OTIS). The resulting adjusted
Year 2026 traffic volumes are shown on Figure 3. The growth rate was applied to through volumes along CO
82 and CR 154 and was not applied to traffic volumes approaching CR 154 along the FedEx Ground and Flying
M Ranch Road connections – development along these routes has been negligible since 2022. As shown, CR 154
west of CO 82 currently carries a maximum design hourly volume (DHV) of 450 vehicles per hour (AM peak
hour).
Trip Generation
Trip generation estimates were prepared for the proposed development using information within the Institute of
Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation Manual, 12th Edition (2025). The Manual’s Land Use Category (LUC)
for a Mini-Warehouse (LUC 151) was utilized to estimate storage trips and LUC 210, Single Family Detached
Home, was used for the residential units. Table 1 depicts the results.

As shown, the proposed development is anticipated to generate approximately 310 vehicle-trips per day and up
to 31 vehicle-trips during peak hours. Of note and as discussed earlier, a portion of the proposed development
March 6, 2026
Mr. Travis Stewart
Page 3
would replace an existing construction storage yard and the traffic volumes associated with it, reducing overall
traffic increases. This reduction is not accounted for in the analysis to remain conservative.
Traffic Assignment
The estimated peak hour vehicle-trips to be generated by the proposed development were assigned to the
surrounding intersections to better understand traffic volume impacts. Figure 4 depicts the results. Consistent
with the Flying M Ranch Traffic Impact Study (June 2023), 60 percent of site trips are anticipated to travel to and
from CO 82 north and 20 percent along CO 82 south of the site. The remaining 20 percent of site trips are
anticipated to utilize CR 154 south of the site. As shown, site trips would add approximately 20 AM peak hour
and 27 PM peak hour vehicle-trips accessing CO 82.
Access Permits and Auxiliary Turn Lanes
When considered in light of current traffic volumes surrounding the site, the proposed development would
increase traffic by a relatively minor level, estimated at 4-7 percent added during peak hours. The following is a
summary of considerations in light of these impacts:
• Access Permitting: The current access permit for CO 82/CR 154 is Permit No. 316048, which was
issued in relation to the Riverview School. The access permit is written for 600 design hour vehicles
(DHV), along the CR 154 approach to CO 82.
CO 82 is categorized as an E-X (Expressway, Major Bypass) for the purposes of evaluating access
control. The State Highway Access Code (SHAC) states:
‚ Unless there are identified safety problems, existing legal access to the state highway system shall be allowed
to remain or be moved or reconstructed under the terms of an access permit• as long as total daily trips to
and from the site are less than 100, or as long as only minor modifications are made to the property or as long
as the access does not violate specific permit terms and conditions. Minor modifications are defined as
anything that does not increase the proposed vehicle volume to the site by 2 0 percent or more.“
The intersection of CR 154 with CO 82 would see slightly increased traffic with the proposed
construction of the Hardwick Crossing development. The estimated PM peak hour site generated traffic
volumes are estimated to add an additional 27 vehicles to the CR 154 approach to CO 82.
This translates to an increase of 4.5 percent over the permitted volume of 600 DHV. The increase in
projected peak hour traffic falls below the 20 percent threshold outlined in the CDOT
SHAC and a change in access should not be required.
March 6, 2026
Mr. Travis Stewart
Page 4
• Turn Lanes: No additional auxiliary turn lanes are recommended at the CO 82/CR 154 intersection.
This signalized intersection is currently equipped with left and right turn deceleration lanes along CO 82
and the addition of site traffic is not expected to require a northbound right-turn acceleration lane
based on SHAC requirements (10 vehicles per hour are required and the short term future peak would
reach 8 vehicles per hour with the addition of site traffic).
At the CR 154/Flying M Ranch Road and CR 154/FedEx Ground access intersections, the existing
configurations/turn lanes are expected to remain adequate to accommodate the addition of site traffic.
At the CR 154 intersection with Hardwick Ranch Road, it is recommended that appropriate roadway
striping and signing be provided to support a Right-in-Right-Out connection.
I trust that this content provides sufficient information for CDOT and County traffic review of the proposed
development. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the content of this letter.
Sincerely,
FELSBURG HOLT & ULLEVIG

Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of potential impacts to wildlife, wildlife habitat,
vegetation, and other ecological resources associated with the proposed development of two parcels
(218535415002 and 218535415003), collectively identified as the Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit
Development (PUD), located in unincorporated Garfield County. The analysis documents existing
ecological conditions and wildlife use of the site; characterizes vegetation communities and habitat
features; and evaluates the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts that may result from project
implementation.
This assessment has been prepared in accordance with applicable provisions of the Garfield County
Land Use and Development Code (LUDC), including §4-203.G(6), Impact Analysis – Flora and Fauna,
and §7-202, Wildlife Habitat Areas. The report further identifies measures to avoid, minimize, and
mitigate potential adverse effects and is intended to inform the County’s determination of the
project’s consistency with adopted wildlife protection standards and habitat conservation
requirements.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Hardwick Crossing PUD is proposed on the two previously developed and/or disturbed parcels
between Old Highway 82 and the Roaring Fork River (Map 1). The proposed PUD would be a mixed-
use PUD that offers a diverse mix of housing types -- a collection of 28 workforce housing units for
working individuals and families and flexible commercial space in an adjacent small commercial park.
3.0 METHODS
This report is based upon multiple sources of information, including: (1) a pedestrian field survey
conducted on February 3, 2026; (2) a desktop review of available aerial imagery, mapping, and
relevant ecological data; (3) a review of current Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Species Activity
Mapping (SAM) data (CPW 2026); (4) consultation with the property owner’s representatives; (5)
review of federally listed Threatened, Endangered, and Candidate species with potential to occur on
or in the vicinity of the property through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for
Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system (USFWS 2026); and (6) the author’s professional experience
evaluating wildlife habitat and ecological communities in Garfield County and throughout western
Colorado.
3.1 Desktop Analysis
A preliminary desktop review of the property was conducted using the 2025 National Agricultural
Imagery Program (NAIP) Garfield County mosaicked orthophoto to characterize existing site
conditions and identify potential wildlife habitat features and other ecological resources of concern.
The analysis incorporated review of available geospatial and agency data sources, including Colorado
Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Species Activity Mapping (SAM); the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and Critical Habitat Mapper; and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey and associated
soil mapping data.
3.2 Site Assessment
CWS conducted pedestrian field surveys to identify and document wildlife, wildlife sign, habitat
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 2
features, plant communities, and other ecological resources within and adjacent to the property.
Surveys focused on habitat mapping; field verification of CPW SAM data; evaluation of wildlife use
consistent with the species accounts provided below; and assessment of vegetation communities,
hydrologic features, and geomorphic characteristics. Raptor nest surveys were conducted on foot
within suitable habitat on and in proximity to the property. Plant communities identified during the
desktop analysis were ground-truthed through direct field identification. Field observations and
photographic documentation were georeferenced using submeter-accuracy Global Positioning
System (GPS) equipment.
4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION, LANDSCAPE CONTEXT, & EXISTING CONDITIONS
The subject property is located within the North-Central Highlands and Rocky Mountain Section of
the Southern Rocky Mountains Steppe–Open Woodland–Coniferous Forest–Alpine Meadow
Physiographic Province (Bailey 1976, 1995, Bailey et al. 1998). The site is situated on the northeast
side of the Roaring Fork Valley at elevations ranging from approximately 5,941 to 6,086 feet above
mean sea level (AMSL), within the southwest quarter of Section 35, Township 6 South, Range 89 West
of the 6th Principal Meridian. The property lies within the Roaring Fork River watershed between Old
Highway 82 and the Roaring Fork River, which flows westerly along the southern boundary (Photo 1).
The subject property is previously developed and has been substantially disturbed. Existing
vegetation within the developed footprint is sparse and predominantly ruderal, with extensive areas
of exposed soil (Photo 2). Remnant patches of big sagebrush–rabbitbrush (Artemisia tridentata–
Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus/Ericameria nauseosa) shrubland (Photo 3) and narrowleaf cottonwood
(Populus angustifolia) riparian woodland (Photo 4) persist in degraded condition. Existing
improvements include a warehouse/office building associated with a landscaping business (Photo 5),
a large animal veterinary facility (Photo 6), and a mixed paved and unpaved parking and staging area
north of Flying M Ranch Road (Photo 7), with a construction yard located in the southeastern portion
of the property south of Flying M Ranch Road (Photo 8). Adjacent land uses include Riverview School,
a FedEx facility, and a small solar installation to the north and northwest, and the Ironbridge
subdivision and golf course across the Roaring Fork River to the south.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS - §4-203.G(6)
5.1 Determination of the Long-Term and Short-Term Effect on Flora 1
Based on field observations and photographic documentation, existing vegetational communities on
the subject property are limited in extent and quality due to substantial prior disturbance and
ongoing industrial use. Much of the site consists of graded surfaces, compacted soils, ruderal
vegetation, and unvegetated areas associated with warehouse, parking, staging, and construction
yard activities. Remnant native plant communities are restricted primarily to small patches of big
sagebrush–rabbitbrush shrubland and a narrow band of narrowleaf cottonwood riparian woodland
along the Roaring Fork River. These communities exhibit signs of degradation, including
fragmentation, soil disturbance, reduced understory diversity, and encroachment by non-native and
weedy species. No high-quality upland shrubland stands or intact native grassland communities were
documented within the developed footprint.

Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 5
Impact Analysis. Short-term impacts to flora associated with redevelopment would include
additional clearing, grading, soil compaction, and temporary construction disturbance within already
disturbed portions of the property. These effects would likely result in the removal of ruderal
vegetation and limited additional loss of remnant shrubland patches within the proposed
development envelope.
Construction activities may
also temporarily increase
the risk of weed
establishment or spread
without appropriate best
management practices.
Long-term effects would
include permanent
conversion of previously
disturbed upland areas to
residential and commercial
uses; however, given the
site’s existing condition, the
incremental loss of native
vegetation is expected to be relatively minor and localized. Implementation of revegetation
measures, weed management, and riparian setback protections would further reduce long-term
adverse effects and may result in stabilization and modest improvement of vegetative cover
compared to existing conditions.
5.2 Determination of the Effect on Wildlife Habitat
5.2.1 Federal Threatened & Endangered Species
The subject parcel was submitted to USFWS via the IPaC system (http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/) on
February 26, 2026, requesting an official list of Threatened, Endangered, or Candidate species that
may occur on or within proximity to the Project Area or may be affected by implementation of the
proposal. An official list was received and is attached as Appendix D. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the USFWS under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Per the consultation with USFWS, species protected under the ESA that may occur within the
boundary of the property are listed below in Table 1. Also included are species listed as Endangered
or Threatened by the State of Colorado that have the potential to be affected by the proposed
project. Some of the species listed below are typically found within habitats that do not occur on the
property or within areas that cannot be affected by actions associated with the project. There will be
no effect on these off-site species. No designated critical habitat exists for any listed species within
or adjacent to the property.

BIRDS
Mexican Spotted Owl
Strix occidentalis lucida
Occurs in forested mountains and canyonlands throughout the SW U.S. &
Mexico. Ranges from UT, CO, AZ, NM & western portions of TX, south into
several states of Mexico. Does not occur uniformly throughout its range.
Instead, it occurs in disjunct areas that correspond with isolated mountain
ranges and canyon systems. FT, ST No
No
Complex forest or rocky canyons that contain uneven-aged, multi-level and
old-aged, thick forests below 9,500 feet elevation. Nests in standing snags
and hollow trees (Rinkevich et al. 1995)
No Effect
Yellow-Billed Cuckoo
Coccyzus americanus
In western Colorado, was probably never common (Bailey and Niedrach 1965,
Wickersham 2007) and is now extremely rare (Kingery 1998, Wickersham
2016). One confirmed nesting observation occurred along the Yampa River
near Hayden during the Breeding Bird Atlas surveys conducted from 1987-
1994 (Kingery 1998) and one cuckoo, representing a probable nesting pair in
surveyed lowland river riparian habitat along six rivers in west-central
Colorado(Dexter 1998). There are no records of this species in the RF
watershed. FT, SC No
No
Nest almost exclusively in low to moderate elevation riparian woodlands with
native broadleaf trees and shrubs that are (50 ac) or more in extent within
arid to semiarid landscapes (Hughes 1999, 79 FR 59992). Most commonly
associated with cottonwood– willow–dominated vegetation cover, but the
composition of dominant riparian vegetation can vary across its range

Gray Wolf 2
Canis lupus
CO is part of the gray wolf’s native range, but wolves were eradicated by the
1940s. Individual wolves have ventured into CO from WY. Two packs have
established in NW CO but have since disappeared; others may persist. It is
possible that wolves from the south may do so someday as well. As the result
of a statewide voter-led initiative passed in November 2020, CPW has
reintroduced wolves in a portion of the species' historical range in Colorado.
None have ventured into the Roaring Fork watershed to date.

No particular habitat preference. In Minnesota and Wisconsin, usually occurs
in areas with few roads, which increase human access and incompatible land
uses (Thiel 1985, Mech et al. 1988, Mech 1989) but can occupy semi-wild
lands if ungulate prey are abundant and if not killed by humans (Mladenoff et
al. 1997). Young are born in an underground burrow that has been
abandoned by another mammal or dug by wolf. In Minn., dens usually were
not near territory boundaries; den use was traditional in most denning alpha
females studied for more than 1 year; possibly the availability of a stable food
supply source helped determine den location (Ciucci and Mech 1992).

Monarch butterfly
Danaus plexippus
The monarch is globally distributed throughout 90 countries. They are well
known for their long-distance migration in the North American populations.
Descendants of these migratory monarch populations expanded from North
America to other areas of the world where milkweed (Asclepias spp.; their
larval host plant) was already present or introduced. The monarch is widely
distributed across the United States.

No
Monarchs occur in a variety of urban & rural habitat types especially those
that have milkweed, Gomphocarpus spp., and Calotropis spp. (closely related
genera), and other flowering forbs that are foraged upon for nectar.
Monarchs lay eggs on plants in the milkweed family (Asclepiadaceae) and
larvae feed only on milkweeds, primarily those in the genus Asclepias, of
which monarchs are known to use more than 30 species in the wild (deRoode

Listed Species With Potential To Be Affected By the Project
Gray wolf is the only federally listed species with the reasonable possibility of occurring on or
adjacent to the property. Throughout Colorado, wolves are federally listed as an Endangered Species,
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for which the USFWS has management authority. A
nonessential, experimental status has been established for the wolf population in Colorado under
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 8
Section 10(j) of the ESA. This status relaxes some of the take prohibitions and allows opportunistic
hazing; non-injurious, intentional hazing; lethal removal for wolves “in the act” of attacking live-
stock; and in situations where livestock depredation has been deemed ‘chronic’ and it has been
determined that an agency directed control action is appropriate. There are no Federal Recovery
goals for gray wolves in Colorado.
Gray wolves are listed as State Endangered under CPW regulations. Wolves are classified as a
nongame species. The CPW Wolf Restoration and Management Plan describes state downlisting and
delisting goals. To be downlisted from State Endangered to State Threatened, there must be a
minimum count of 50 wolves for a period of 4 years. To be delisted from State Threatened to State
delisted, nongame status, there must be a minimum count of 150 wolves for a period of 2 years, or
200 wolves, with no time constraint. There is currently no population objective (maximum desired
population size) for wolves in Colorado.
Proposition 114, now state statute 33-2-105.8, passed on November 3, 2020. It directed the Colorado
Parks and Wildlife Commission to develop a plan to introduce and manage gray wolves in Colorado
west of the Continental Divide no later than December 31, 2023. Fifteen wolves were translocated to
Colorado in January 2025. Separately, CPW also successfully completed the release of five members
from the original Copper Creek Pack in Eagle and Pitkin counties, continuing the agency’s efforts to
create a permanent, self-sustaining gray wolf population in Colorado. An active den was recently
identified in the Capitol Creek drainage and wolves are very active in the vicinity of the den. As of
February 24, 206, the reintroduced wolves have spread across many watersheds, but none have been
documented on the property to date (Figure 1).
Gray wolves exhibit broad ecological plasticity and occupy a wide range of habitats across North
America, but their distribution is strongly influenced by prey availability, human disturbance, and
landscape connectivity rather than vegetation type alone. In the western United States, including the
Northern Rockies and Colorado, wolves typically occupy forested and shrubland landscapes
interspersed with open parks and
riparian corridors that support
abundant ungulate prey such as elk
(Cervus canadensis) and mule deer
(Odocoileus hemionus) (Smith et al.
2000, Mech and Boitani 2003b).
Habitat selection studies in the
Rocky Mountains demonstrate
avoidance of areas with high road
densities and human activity, as
roads increase mortality risk and
human access (Thiel 1985, Mech et
al. 1988, Mladenoff et al. 1995,
Whittington et al. 2005). In
recolonizing western populations,
wolves have preferentially
established territories in areas with
lower human density and extensive
public lands, although they are
capable of using semi-wild and multi-use landscapes where prey densities are sufficient and human-

where collared wolves have been from Jan. 27-Feb. 24, 2026.
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 9
caused mortality is limited (Mladenoff et al. 1995, Oakleaf et al. 2006).
Reproductive habitat requirements are similarly flexible but include the need for secure denning and
rendezvous sites. Pups are typically born in underground dens excavated by wolves or appropriated
from other mammals, often located on well-drained slopes, streambanks, or glacial eskers with
nearby water and security cover (Mech and Boitani 2003b). In Minnesota, dens were generally
located away from territory boundaries and often reused by alpha females in successive years,
suggesting site fidelity influenced by security and stable prey availability (Ciucci and Mech 1992). In
western landscapes, den and rendezvous sites are commonly associated with forest edges, riparian
zones, or shrub-covered benches that provide concealment and proximity to prey resources
(Ausband et al. 2010). Overall, while wolves do not exhibit strict vegetation-based habitat
specialization, successful occupancy is closely tied to prey biomass, low road density, limited human
disturbance, and availability of secure denning habitat.
In Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West, wolf habitat suitability is influenced primarily by ungulate
prey availability, landscape connectivity, and low levels of human disturbance rather than specific
vegetation types (Mech and Boitani 2003a, Oakleaf et al. 2006). Wolves in the Northern Rockies have
established territories largely on extensive public lands that support abundant elk (Cervus
canadensis) and mule deer, with road density and human development strongly affecting occupancy
and survival (Thiel 1985, Mladenoff et al. 1995, Whittington et al. 2005). In Colorado, mid- to high-
elevation national forest and wilderness areas provide relatively secure habitat; however, seasonal
migration of elk and mule deer to lower-elevation winter ranges, including private valley-bottom
lands, may concentrate prey and attract wolves (Hebblewhite and Merrill 2007, Middleton et al.
2013). As wolves track prey movements, seasonal use of private lands and livestock grazing
allotments may increase the potential for human–wolf conflict where spatial or temporal overlap
occurs (Oakleaf et al. 2006, Muhly and Musiani 2009).
Although gray wolves are wide-ranging species that occur within the Roaring Fork Watershed and
may occasionally travel through the area, predator control is not a part of this proposal, and no known
dens or rendezvous sites occur on or in proximity to the property. Therefore, there would be no
direct, indirect, or cumulative impacts to the gray wolf from implementation of this project.
Consequently, the project would have no effect on the species.
5.2.2 State Listed Species
The Colorado Threatened and Endangered species and Species of Greatest Conservation Need
(SGCN; Tier 1 species only) was reviewed to determine if any species had potential habitat within
or adjacent to the property. While all listed species were initially considered, an elimination of
unlikely species from further consideration is provided in Table 2. These decisions are based on
known range distributions being either outside of the Project Area or with complete habitat
incompatibility. The Colorado River endangered fish species have already been addressed above
and are not further considered in this section.

* = May occur on the property but no roost, maternity, or hibernation habitat present; implementation of the proposal will have NO EFFECT on this
species; ⁺ = Addressed in Section 5, above
The only species included on the list State of Colorado Threatened and Endangered species
and/or as a Tier 1 SGCN with the potential to be affected by the proposal are bald eagles
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and river otters (Lontra canadensis).
Bald Eagle
Bald eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 668–668d)
and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 703–712). Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) monitors
bald eagle nesting territories, winter night roosts, and foraging habitat and has developed species-
specific protective stipulations, including seasonal buffers and disturbance recommendations (CPW
2024b).
According to current CPW mapping, the subject property occurs within mapped bald eagle winter
range, winter forage habitat, and summer forage habitat associated with the Roaring Fork River
corridor (Map 3). The mapped winter range and winter forage designations represent broad
landscape-scale polygons extending approximately 2–5 miles from either side of the Roaring Fork
River west of Glenwood Springs. The mapped summer forage habitat consists of an approximately
80-meter-wide corridor paralleling the river and overlaps the portion of the property adjacent to the
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 15
river.
The property is located downstream of a historic bald eagle nest site at Aspen Glen that was lost
during a 2018 wind event and subsequently replaced by a nest located further upstream. The
replacement nest was active during the 2024 breeding season. The subject property is located more
than 4 miles downstream of the active nest site.
Impact Analysis. No active or historic bald eagle nests or documented winter night roost sites occur
within or adjacent to the subject property. Habitat features typically associated with bald eagle
nesting or roosting (i.e., large mature trees immediately adjacent to open water) are not present
within the proposed development footprint. Although the property borders approximately 1,340
linear feet of the north bank of the Roaring Fork River and overlaps mapped summer forage habitat,
proposed development would occur outside the primary riparian corridor and would not remove
nesting or roosting structures.
Stormwater management measures would be incorporated into final design to prevent degradation
of water quality in the Roaring Fork River. No direct disturbance is proposed within the river corridor
beyond existing developed or disturbed areas. While bald eagles may forage opportunistically along
the river corridor, project-related disturbance would be spatially separated from primary foraging
habitat and is not expected to measurably reduce habitat availability or quality.
Effects Determination. The subject property occurs within CPW-mapped winter and summer forage
habitat, and bald eagles may occur in the vicinity as transient or foraging individuals. However, the
proposed action would not remove nesting or roosting structures, would not disturb an active nest
(nearest nest >1.0 mile upstream), and would not result in measurable degradation of foraging
habitat.
Accordingly, the proposed PUD May Affect, but Not Likely to Adversely Affect bald eagles. This
determination reflects the mapped habitat designations and potential for seasonal use of the river
corridor while concluding that the proposed development would not result in nest disturbance,
habitat loss, or measurable adverse impacts to bald eagles or their habitat.
North American River Otter
North American river otters (Lontra canadensis) were historically distributed throughout most major
river drainages in Colorado but were considered extirpated from the state by the early 1900s.
Beginning in 1976, and expanded in 1998, Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) initiated reintroduction
efforts in multiple drainages (CPW 2003, Melquist et al. 2003). Although river otters have not
established a documented reproducing population in the Roaring Fork drainage as of this analysis,
individuals and small groups have been observed upstream as far as the Roaring Fork River’s
confluence with McFarlane Gulch, south of the City of Aspen (J. Groves, pers. comm.; J. Mao, pers.
comm.). Confirmed CPW records document observations of individual or small groups of otters within
approximately five miles of the property since 2018 (CPW 2024a).
CPW maps the reach of the Roaring Fork River at the property as river otter overall range. In Colorado,

Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report

river otters are most commonly associated with larger rivers and streams at low to moderate
elevations but may also occupy reservoirs, lakes, and flooded gravel pits. Suitable habitat requires
permanent water of relatively high quality, adequate streamflow (generally ≥10 cubic feet per
second), abundant prey resources (primarily fish and, where available, crayfish), and access to
denning or resting sites (Melquist and Hornocker 1983, Mack 1985, Bradley 1986, Melquist et al.
2003). Beaver bank dens are frequently used for shelter. Otters remain active year-round and, in mid-
elevation systems such as the Roaring Fork River, may be more diurnal in winter and more nocturnal
in summer. Habitat suitability may be influenced by winter ice conditions, den site availability, and
levels of human disturbance.
The reach of the Roaring Fork River adjacent to the property remains at least partially ice-free during
winter months, and prey availability is likely adequate due to existing fisheries management.
However, den site availability appears limited along this reach, and adjacent roads, dogs, and human
activity may reduce habitat effectiveness. Although otters have not been documented at the
property, confirmed observations upstream and downstream indicate that transient or dispersing
individuals may occur within this river reach.
Impact Analysis. The property includes approximately 1,400 linear feet of the north bank of the
Roaring Fork River and contains degraded riparian vegetation adjacent to the river channel. Although
the property lies within mapped overall range for North American river otter and documented
observations have occurred within the broader drainage, the proposed PUD would not result in
ground disturbance, vegetation removal, bank modification, or in-water work within the riparian
corridor or aquatic habitat of the Roaring Fork River. Development is confined to previously
developed and disturbed upland areas of the property.
No direct impacts to aquatic habitat, prey base, or denning structures are proposed. The project does
not include livestock grazing, water diversions, shoreline stabilization, or recreational enhancements
that would increase direct disturbance within the riparian corridor. No lighting is proposed within the
riparian corridor. Stormwater management measures would be incorporated into final design to
prevent degradation of water quality. While incremental human presence on the upland portion of
the property may increase slightly, such activity would remain spatially separated from primary
aquatic habitat and is not expected to measurably reduce habitat suitability or prey availability for
river otters within this reach.
Effects Determination. River otters have not been documented within the Project Area but have been
observed within the broader Roaring Fork drainage in recent years. Given the property’s location
within mapped overall range and the potential for transient individuals to use the river corridor, some
potential for occurrence exists.
Because, however, the proposed action would not result in riparian vegetation removal, bank
disturbance, in-stream modification, degradation of water quality, or increased livestock-related
disturbance, and would not measurably alter prey availability or denning opportunities, project-
related effects to river otters are expected to be insignificant and discountable.
Accordingly, the proposed PUD May Affect, but Not Likely to Adversely Affect North American river
otters. This determination reflects mapped range overlap and documented regional occurrence while
concluding that the proposed development would not result in measurable habitat loss, degradation,
or disturbance to river otters.

5.2.3 Raptors, Birds of Conservation Concern, and Migratory Birds
CWS evaluated the property for raptor species with potential to occur in the area based on
regional avifaunal references and distribution data (Andrews and Righter 1992, Righter 2004,
Wickersham 2016, NatureServe 2020). A pedestrian nest search was conducted within the property
and adjacent areas of suitable habitat, Although surveys were conducted during the non-breeding
season; however, no nest structures suitable for large raptors were observed. No active nest or roost
sites for accipiters (Accipiter spp.), bald eagles, golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), ospreys (Pandion
haliaetus), peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus), red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), or other raptor
species are known to occur within or adjacent to the proposed development footprint.
In addition to raptors, CWS evaluated the property for other avian species that could potentially
be affected by the proposed development. The USFWS identifies Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCC) as species warranting proactive management to prevent future listing under the
Endangered Species Act (Appendix F). Potential occurrence of BCC species was evaluated based
on habitat suitability, regional distribution, and field observations.

5.2.4 Other Species of Interest
This section addresses documented and potential use of the study area by wildlife species that are
not currently listed under state or federal endangered species statutes but may warrant
consideration due to ecological, economic, regulatory, social, or management importance. For
purposes of this analysis, “significant wildlife use” refers to species whose presence or habitat use
may be relevant to land use decision-making, resource management objectives, or public interest
considerations, despite the absence of formal listing status.
Ungulates
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and elk (Cervus canadensis) have been documented within the
Project Area. Although the property provides limited forage and cover due to prior disturbance and
sparse vegetative structure, pellet groups and incidental observations during site assessments
indicate that both species occasionally move through the property. Browse on preferred forage
species (e.g., young narrowleaf cottonwoods) was minimal, suggesting limited foraging use.
CPW also maps the property within American moose (Alces americanus) overall range and summer
range; however, moose have not been documented on the property, and no moose sign was
observed during field surveys. Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) are not
known to occur within or adjacent to the property, and CPW does not map bighorn sheep habitat in
the vicinity.
Human Influence
Native ungulates in Colorado have demonstrated behavioral adaptation to increased human activity
associated with recreation, residential expansion, and infrastructure development. Documented
responses include shifts in diel activity patterns (e.g., increased nocturnality), altered movement
behavior, and increased use of areas with lower levels of disturbance during winter, migration, and
transitional periods (Edge and Marcum 1985, Edge et al. 1988, Morrison et al. 1995, Cole et al. 1997,
Burcham et al. 1999, Phillips and Alldredge 2000, Conner et al. 2001). In the Roaring Fork Valley, these
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 21
seasonal shifts are most pronounced during late fall and early winter prior to significant snow
accumulation, and in early spring before movement to production areas and summer range. Such
behavioral plasticity can allow persistence in developed landscapes; however, it may also reduce
habitat effectiveness where disturbance levels exceed tolerance thresholds.
Limiting Factors
Limiting factors are environmental and anthropogenic influences that determine whether wildlife
populations increase, decrease, or remain stable. Population dynamics for mule deer, elk, and
bighorn sheep are rarely driven by a single variable; rather, they reflect the interaction of multiple
factors, including habitat availability, climatic conditions, predation, disease, and human disturbance.
For example, predation effects may be amplified when winter habitat is restricted, snow depth limits
mobility, or forage quality is reduced.
While food, water, cover, and space remain foundational components of habitat suitability, this
framework alone oversimplifies habitat function. Habitat effectiveness may be enhanced or
diminished by landscape context, fragmentation, disturbance regimes, and competing land uses. In
the Roaring Fork Valley, residential and commercial development most strongly affect winter
concentration areas, severe winter range, production habitat, and migration corridors for mule deer
and elk, as well as winter and transitional habitats used by bighorn sheep. Loss, fragmentation, or
disturbance of these seasonal habitats can reduce carrying capacity and influence long-term
population viability (J. Groves, pers. comm.; K. Tesch, pers. comm.; J. Mao, pers. comm.; Mao et. al
2013; Mao et. al 2011).
Winter Range, Severe Winter Range, Winter Concentration
Both elk and mule deer on winter range continuously seek the most moderate ambient weather
conditions, and other factors influencing habitat selection are secondary (Toweill et al. 2002). In
winter, both species move between foraging and bedding sites in response to changing ambient
temperatures, increasing snow depths, and to enhance control of body temperature. On the coldest
days and/or when snow depths are greatest, both species seek southerly and westerly facing slopes
where snows typically melt quickly. Snow depths greater than 12 inches begin to reduce the available
winter range (USFWS 1982). In general, mule deer and elk do not tolerate snow depths greater than
chest height and are impeded when snow is knee-deep (Loveless 1967, Kelsall and Prescott 1971,
Parker et al. 1984, Toweill et al. 2002, Ungulate Winter Range Technical Advisory Team 2005).
Consequently, winter range of larger elk covers a greater areal extent of lands with greater snow
depths than that of mule deer (Parker et al. 1984).
Mule Deer. CPW maps the subject property within mule deer summer range. Field observations
confirm that deer use the property during summer and transitional periods (spring and fall); however,
the site provides limited habitat value. Vegetation is sparse and largely disturbed, offering minimal
browse and little hiding or thermal cover. No mapped winter range, severe winter range, migration
corridor, or winter concentration area occurs on the property. Habitat function within the Project
Area is therefore limited primarily to incidental movement rather than foraging or seasonal residency.
Elk. CPW does not map the property within any elk seasonal habitat. Although elk may occasionally
transit the property, particularly during the winter and during transition between summer and winter
range, the site does not provide meaningful forage, cover, or other habitat resources. Given the lack
of mapped seasonal habitat and limited vegetative structure, the property functions primarily as
peripheral or movement habitat rather than as core or seasonal use area for elk.
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 22
Impact Analysis. does not map the subject property within mule deer or elk winter range, severe
winter range, or winter concentration areas. The proposed development site is previously developed
and substantially disturbed, with limited native vegetation and reduced habitat function. The
property is also located within the existing zone of influence of adjacent development and State
Highway 82.
Because the property does not contain mapped winter range, severe winter range, or winter
concentration habitat, implementation of the proposed PUD would not result in the direct or indirect
loss of these critical seasonal habitats for mule deer or elk. The site provides little to no effective
winter habitat due to disturbance, limited forage availability, and minimal cover. Accordingly, the
proposed development would not measurably affect winter habitat availability or functionality for
mule deer or elk within the Roaring Fork Valley.
Effects Determination. The subject property is not mapped by CPW as mule deer or elk winter range,
severe winter range, or winter concentration habitat. Therefore, the proposed development will have
No Effect on these important seasonal habitats.
Although mule deer and elk may occasionally transit the property during summer and transitional
periods, the site provides minimal forage and cover and does not function as core seasonal habitat.
Because the proposed action would not remove mapped seasonal habitat, alter migration corridors,
or reduce habitat effectiveness at a landscape scale, any potential effects associated with incidental
movement use would be insignificant.
Elk Production Areas
Elk calving grounds or production areas , or calving grounds, are selected by adult females in locations
where security cover, forage, and water occur in close proximity (Seidel 1977, Phillips and Alldredge
2000, Barbknecht et al. 2011, Rearden et al. 2011). Calving sites typically occur in the lower to middle
portions of summer range and are often reused annually. Although individual calving sites are
occupied for a relatively brief period during late spring and early summer, production habitat can be
a limiting factor for elk populations because it must provide adequate security from disturbance and
be located within or adjacent to high-quality summer range.
Elk are considered a “hider” species during the neonatal period; calves remain bedded and rely on
concealment while females move away to forage and periodically return to nurse (Altmann 1963,
Phillips 1974, Boyce and Sauer 1978, Toweill et al. 2002, Barbknecht et al. 2011). Research indicates
that female elk exhibit strong site fidelity to calving areas, even in landscapes experiencing increasing
levels of development (Webb et al. 2011). However, disturbance associated with human activity may
alter space use patterns and reduce reproductive success. Phillips and Alldredge (2000) documented
decreased calf survival during years of increased disturbance, suggesting potential implications for
population growth. In Colorado, habitat fragmentation from residential development, roads, and
associated infrastructure can reduce habitat effectiveness; elk may avoid habitat patches smaller
than approximately 0.04 km² (9.9 acres) and preferentially select larger patches (>0.24 km² [59.3
acres]) that provide adequate hiding cover (Wait and McNally 2004).
Impact Analysis. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) does not map the subject property within elk
production areas or calving habitat. The property is previously developed and substantially disturbed,
with limited vegetative cover and minimal security habitat. The site is also located within the zone of
influence of existing development and State Highway 82. These conditions do not provide the level
of security, patch size, or concealment typically associated with elk calving site selection.

Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 26
Because the property does not contain mapped production habitat and lacks structural
characteristics required for calving (i.e., adequate hiding cover, proximity to high-quality summer
forage, and low disturbance levels), implementation of the proposed PUD would not result in the
direct or indirect loss of elk production habitat. The site does not function as a calving area and does
not provide landscape-scale habitat connectivity necessary for production use.
Effects Determination. The subject property is not mapped as elk production habitat and does not
provide suitable structural or security conditions for calving. Therefore, the proposed development
would not affect elk calving grounds or production areas. Accordingly, implementation of this
proposal will have NO EFFECT on elk production areas. This determination is based on the absence of
mapped production areas, lack of suitable calving habitat characteristics on site, and the previously
disturbed condition of the property.
Migration Corridors
Seasonal migration is essential for native ungulates to access spatially distinct winter and summer
habitats. In Colorado, mule deer, elk, and bighorn sheep migrate in spring and fall between winter
range and summer range or production areas. Migration enables mule deer and elk to avoid deep
snow and limited forage during winter and to track high-quality forage during the growing season.
Because migration corridors provide critical connectivity between seasonal habitats, they must
remain permeable and free of physical barriers (e.g., exclusionary fencing, major roadway
impediments) and excessive disturbance from residential, commercial, or energy development.
For purposes of this analysis, “migration corridors” are defined as constrained movement routes,
typically influenced by natural features (e.g., topography, river valleys) or anthropogenic features
(e.g., development patterns), that concentrate animal movement. This differs from “transition
range,” which refers to broader areas occupied temporarily as animals move between seasonal
habitats but that do not function as spatially constrained movement pathways.
Impact Analysis. does not map the subject property within any mule deer or elk migration corridor.
The property is not located near any mapped or field-verified migration corridor. In addition, the site
is previously developed and does not function as a constrained movement pathway at a landscape
scale. Because the property does not intersect mapped migration corridors and would not introduce
barriers within a documented movement route, implementation of the proposed PUD would not
affect migration corridor connectivity for mule deer or elk.
Effects Determination. The proposed development will have No Effect on bighorn sheep, elk, or mule
deer migration corridors.
Black Bears
The property lies within a mapped (CPW 2026) black bear (Ursus americanus) fall concentration area
(Folk et al. 1976, Nelson et al. 1983, Rogers and Durst 1987, Hellgren 1998). Fall concentration areas
in the Roaring Fork Valley are typically associated with Gambel oak and mixed montane shrublands
where mast (e.g., acorns) and berry-producing shrubs provide critical forage during the hyperphagic
period preceding winter denning. During this period, generally August 15 through September 30,
bears consume large quantities of high-calorie foods to accumulate fat reserves (Folk et al. 1976,
Nelson et al. 1983).
The mapped fall concentration polygon encompassing the property is a broad landscape-scale
designation covering approximately 600,000 acres. The property is located near the westernmost
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 27
boundary of this mapped area, which terminates along the valley bluffs. The developed and disturbed
portions of the property provide little to no mast- or berry-producing vegetation and do not support
the shrub-dominated habitat typically associated with fall foraging. Black bears are known to use the
Roaring Fork River corridor as a movement route, and bears have been observed traveling along this
river reach.
Impact Analysis. The proposed PUD would occur on a previously developed and disturbed site that
lacks substantial mast-producing vegetation or dense shrub cover typically associated with fall
concentration habitat. No removal of Gambel oak stands, berry-producing shrublands, or other high-
value fall forage resources is proposed. Accordingly, the project would not result in the direct loss of
effective fall concentration habitat.
Because bears use the Roaring Fork River corridor as a movement route, some potential for bear
presence in the vicinity exists. The proposed development, however, would not alter river
morphology, remove riparian vegetation at a landscape scale, or fragment a defined movement
corridor. The primary potential effect associated with the project is increased human–bear
interaction following occupancy. Implementation of bear-resistant trash storage, wildlife-proof
enclosures, and compliance with CPW bear conflict mitigation guidelines would reduce the likelihood
of attractant-related conflicts.
Effects Determination. Implementation of the proposal May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely
Affect black bears. The property lies within a mapped fall concentration area; however, it does not
contain substantial mast- or berry-producing vegetation or other high-value fall foraging habitat. The
proposed action would not remove effective fall concentration habitat or alter landscape connectivity
along the Roaring Fork River corridor. Project-related effects are limited to the potential for increased
human–bear interactions following occupancy, which can be minimized through implementation of
standard conflict-avoidance measures.
This determination reflects the mapped fall concentration designation and documented regional bear
movement while concluding that the proposed development would not result in measurable habitat
loss or degradation. The proposed development will have NO EFFECT on bighorn sheep, elk, or mule
deer.
Other Species
Other wildlife species with potential to occur on or adjacent to the property include American mink
(Neovison vison), bobcats (Lynx rufus), coyotes (Canis latrans), long-tailed weasels (Neogale frenata),
mountain lions (Puma concolor), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), and striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis).
Although no sign of these species was observed during site surveys, each of these species are known
to occur along the reach of the Roaring Fork River corridor at the property and surrounding landscape.
Given the previously developed and disturbed condition of the property, habitat value for these
species is limited primarily to incidental movement or opportunistic use rather than denning or long-
term residency. The adjacent river corridor may provide suitable habitat and movement connectivity
at a landscape scale.

6.0 ADJACENT LAND USE - §4-203.G(1)
The subject property is situated within a mixed residential, commercial, industrial, and rural
landscape where historic agricultural lands have been progressively converted to developed uses.
The property is bordered by existing residential subdivisions and other developed land uses. As such,
it is embedded within an already fragmented landscape influenced by human activity.
To evaluate potential indirect impacts associated with the proposed development, a geospatial buffer
analysis was conducted using ArcGIS 10.8 (ESRI 2020). The analysis was based on the premise that
residential development can reduce habitat effectiveness through human activity, noise, lighting, and
road-related disturbance. Buffer distances were informed by peer-reviewed literature addressing
zones of influence from exurban and residential development (Odell and Knight 2001, Odell et al.
2003, Fraterrigo and Wiens 2005, Glennon and Kretser 2005, Hansen et al. 2005, Lenth et al. 2006,
Merenlender et al. 2009). Odell and Knight (2001) documented a zone of influence extending
approximately 180 meters from residences in Pitkin County, with reduced occurrence of disturbance-
sensitive wildlife species within that distance. Other studies report mule deer avoidance distances
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 29
ranging from approximately 82 meters to 400 meters from residential development (Smith et al.
1989; Vogel 1989), depending on season and disturbance intensity.
The property is already within the zone of influence of adjacent residential, commercial, and
transportation infrastructure, including State Highway 82. Existing disturbance extends onto the
property from surrounding development. Because the proposed PUD would occur on a previously
developed and disturbed bench within an already fragmented landscape, implementation of the
project would not measurably expand the existing disturbance footprint at a landscape scale. The
project does not extend development into previously undeveloped riparian habitat. The proposal
would not result in the indirect loss of large, intact habitat patches on adjacent lands.
LUDC §4-203.G(1) Consistency Determination. Based on the existing developed context of the
property, the substantially disturbed condition of the site, and the buffer analysis conducted to
evaluate potential indirect effects, the proposed PUD is consistent with the intent of §4-203.G(1) of
the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code. The property is already within the zone of
influence of surrounding residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation development, and
existing disturbance extends onto the site.
Because the site does not contain intact native habitat or function as core seasonal habitat for the
wildlife species evaluated in this report, and because development would occur within an already
disturbed footprint, implementation of the proposal would not measurably expand the existing
disturbance footprint at a landscape scale or result in indirect loss of effective wildlife habitat on
adjacent lands beyond current conditions. Accordingly, the project is not expected to adversely affect
wildlife habitat on neighboring parcels and complies with applicable adjacent land use considerations
under the LUDC.
7.0 DISCUSSION & CONCLUSIONS
The Hardwick Crossing PUD is proposed within a previously developed and substantially disturbed
portion of the Roaring Fork Valley between Old Highway 82 and the Roaring Fork River. Existing site
conditions—characterized by graded surfaces, compacted soils, ruderal vegetation, and fragmented,
degraded remnant shrubland and riparian vegetation—limit the ecological function of the property.
The site does not contain intact native plant communities, core seasonal wildlife habitat, or high-
value landscape linkages. Wildlife use is best characterized as incidental movement or opportunistic
use by common species within an already fragmented and developed landscape.
Wildlife Habitat Summary
The property is not mapped by CPW) as mule deer or elk winter range, severe winter range, winter
concentration area, production habitat, or migration corridor. Accordingly, implementation of the
proposed PUD would result in No Effect to these important seasonal habitats. The site provides
minimal forage and cover and does not function as core habitat at a landscape scale.
The property overlaps CPW-mapped bald eagle winter and summer forage habitat and occurs within
mapped North American river otter overall range along the Roaring Fork River corridor. However, no
nests, roost sites, dens, or other key structural habitat features were identified within the proposed
development footprint. The nearest active bald eagle nest is located more than four miles upstream.
No in-stream work, bank modification, or riparian vegetation removal is proposed. As such, effects to
bald eagle and North American river otter are appropriately characterized as May Affect, Not Likely
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 30
to Adversely Affect, reflecting mapped habitat overlap while concluding that the project would not
result in measurable habitat loss, degradation, or disturbance.
The property also occurs within a broad CPW-mapped black bear fall concentration polygon.
However, the site itself lacks mast-producing shrublands and high-value fall forage resources typically
associated with hyperphagic use. Potential effects are therefore limited primarily to the possibility of
increased human–bear interactions following occupancy rather than habitat loss. With
implementation of conflict-prevention measures described below, impacts to black bear are likewise
May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect.
No federally listed species or designated critical habitat would be affected by implementation of the
proposed action. For gray wolf, although the species may occur within the broader watershed, no
dens, rendezvous sites, or prey concentration areas occur on or adjacent to the property, and no
project elements would affect wolf habitat or management. Therefore, the project would have No
Effect on gray wolf.
Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation Measures
To ensure consistency with Garfield County LUDC §4-203.G(6) (Impact Analysis – Flora and Fauna),
§7-202 (Wildlife Habitat Areas), and §4-203.G(1) (Adjacent Land Use), the applicant proposes the
following measures to reduce potential ecological impacts:
• Riparian Protection & Water Quality: No in-stream work or bank modification is proposed.
Stormwater management systems and erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs)
will prevent sedimentation or water quality degradation of the Roaring Fork River.
• Lighting Controls: Fully shielded, downward-directed lighting with warm color temperatures
will be utilized to minimize light spill into the river corridor and reduce disruption of nocturnal
wildlife behavior.
• Wildlife-Friendly Fencing: Fencing will comply with CPW’s Fencing With Wildlife in Mind
standards to maintain terrestrial permeability and avoid creation of movement barriers.
• Black Bear Conflict Prevention: IGBC-certified bear-resistant waste containers, attractant
management requirements, seasonal bird-feeder restrictions, and resident education
measures will minimize the potential for human–bear conflicts.
• Domestic Animal Controls: Compliance with Garfield County animal control regulations,
leash requirements, and contractor restrictions during construction will reduce wildlife
harassment risk.
• Revegetation & Weed Management: Disturbed areas will be stabilized and revegetated
consistent with Garfield County Revegetation Guidelines. A weed management plan will
address County-listed noxious weeds to prevent invasive spread.
• Raptor-Safe Utilities: Utilities will be underground where feasible; any overhead structures
will comply with raptor-safe design standards.
These measures collectively reduce the likelihood of indirect disturbance to adjacent riparian and
riverine habitats and prevent measurable degradation of ecological resources.
Adjacent Land Use and Landscape Context
The property is embedded within an already developed and fragmented landscape influenced by
residential subdivisions, commercial facilities, and State Highway 82. A geospatial buffer analysis
confirms the site is already within the zone of influence of surrounding development. Because the
proposed PUD would occur within a previously disturbed footprint and would not expand into intact
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 31
habitat patches or mapped seasonal wildlife areas, implementation of the proposal would not
measurably increase landscape-scale disturbance or reduce habitat effectiveness on adjacent lands.
Overall Determination
Based on:
• The substantially disturbed condition of the property;
• The absence of mapped core seasonal habitats;
• The avoidance of in-stream and riparian disturbance;
• The implementation of lighting, fencing, stormwater, revegetation, and wildlife-conflict
prevention measures; and
• The limited and localized nature of short-term construction impacts,
the Hardwick Crossing PUD is expected to result in minor, localized ecological effects confined to
previously disturbed areas, with no measurable adverse impact to wildlife populations, high-value
habitat, or landscape connectivity within the Roaring Fork Valley.
The proposed development is therefore consistent with the intent and requirements of Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code §§4-203.G(6), 7-202, and 4-203.G(1), and is not anticipated
to adversely affect wildlife habitat values at a local or regional scale.
8.0 MEASURES TO REDUCE WILDLIFE & ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS
The following measures are proposed to avoid, minimize, and mitigate potential impacts to wildlife,
wildlife habitat, and ecological resources associated with implementation of the Hardwick Crossing
PUD:
A. LIGHTING
Artificial lighting can disrupt wildlife movement, foraging behavior, breeding activity, and
nocturnal pollinators. Outdoor lighting will comply with Garfield County lighting standards and
will incorporate the following best management practices:
1. Use fully shielded, downward-directed fixtures to minimize light spill and skyglow.
2. Avoid illumination of the Roaring Fork River corridor and adjacent riparian vegetation to
the extent practicable.
3. Utilize warm-color spectrum lighting (≤3000 Kelvin) where feasible to reduce ecological
disruption.
4. Limit unnecessary nighttime lighting through use of timers, motion sensors, and curfews
for non-essential lighting.
B. FENCING
Fencing that restricts wildlife movement can reduce habitat permeability and increase wildlife
mortality. All fencing within the development will:
1. Comply with CPW’s Fencing With Wildlife in Mind guidelines.
2. Avoid solid-panel fencing adjacent to undeveloped or riparian areas.
3. Utilize wildlife-friendly designs (e.g., smooth bottom wire at least 16 inches above
ground where appropriate, no barbed wire at ground level, and limited fence heights).
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 32
4. Avoid fencing configurations that create barriers parallel to the river corridor.
C. TRAILS AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
If internal pedestrian or recreational pathways are included in final design:
1. Trail alignment will avoid encroachment into the active river channel or bank.
2. Trail design will follow principles outlined in Planning Trails with Wildlife in Mind,
including minimizing habitat fragmentation and avoiding unnecessary lighting or
disturbance adjacent to the riparian corridor.
3. Informational signage may be installed to educate residents regarding wildlife presence
and responsible recreation
D. BLACK BEAR CONFLICT PREVENTION
The property lies within a CPW-mapped black bear fall concentration area and within a region
of documented human–bear interactions. To minimize attractant-related conflicts:
Residential and Commercial Waste
1. All trash and recycling shall be stored in Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC)-
certified bear-resistant containers or within fully enclosed wildlife-resistant structures.
2. Trash shall not be placed curbside prior to the morning of collection and must be
returned to enclosed storage on the same day.
3. Food waste composting shall be prohibited; composting shall be limited to yard waste
only.
4. Barbeque grills shall be cleaned after use and stored to prevent odor attraction.
5. Pet food shall not be left outdoors during non-winter months.
Additional Measures
1. Bird feeders shall be avoided from April 1 through November 30.
2. Exterior building hardware should avoid lever-style handles where practicable to reduce
bear entry potential.
3. Educational materials regarding bear awareness and attractant management shall be
provided to residents and tenants.
E. DOMESTIC ANIMAL CONTROLS 5
Uncontrolled domestic animals can disturb or injure wildlife, particularly during winter and
reproductive periods.
1. Residents shall comply with Garfield County Animal Control Regulations.
2. Dogs shall be leashed unless within a fenced yard or designated enclosed dog area.
3. Contractors shall be prohibited from bringing dogs to the site during construction.
4. Domestic cats shall be kept indoors or under direct control at all times.
5 In this case, the term domestic animal includes dogs, cats, birds and other small mammals and reptiles, but not fowl, herd animals, goats or
horses.

March 2, 2026 33
F. REVEGETATION AND WEED MANAGEMENT
Disturbance associated with construction can increase invasive species establishment and reduce
vegetative stability
1. A phased revegetation plan shall be prepared and implemented in accordance with
Garfield County Revegetation Guidelines.
2. Disturbed areas shall be stabilized within one growing season following completion of
each construction phase.
3. A weed management plan addressing County-listed noxious weeds shall be developed
and implemented.
4. Landscaping shall emphasize native, non-invasive species appropriate to the Roaring Fork
Valley
G. UTILITIES
1. New utility lines shall be placed underground where feasible.
2. Any required overhead utility structures shall meet raptor-safe design standards
consistent with Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC) guidelines-friendly,
raptor proof, or underground.

APPENDIX C. CPW SAM DEFINITIONS FOR SELECTED SPECIES
AMERICAN BLACK BEAR
FALL CONCENTRATION: That portion of the overall range occupied from August 15 until September 30 for the purpose
of ingesting large quantities of mast and berries to establish fat reserves for the winter hibernation period.
HUMAN CONFLICT: That portion of the overall range where two or more confirmed black bear complaints per season
were received which resulted in CDOW investigation, damage to persons or property (cabins, tents, vehicles, etc),
and/or the removal of the problem bear(s). This does not include damage caused by bears to livestock.
OVERALL RANGE: The area which encompasses all known seasonal activity areas within the observed range of a
population of black bear.
SUMMER CONCENTRATION: That portion of the overall range of the species where activity is greater than the
surrounding overall range during that period from June 15 to August 15.
BALD EAGLE
FALL CONCENTRATION AREA: Areas frequented by wintering bald eagles between November 15 and March 15. These may be
large areas radiating from preferred roosting sites.
WINTER RANGE: areas where bald eagles have been observed between November 15 and April 1.
MULE DEER
CONCENTRATION AREA: That part of the overall range where higher quality habitat supports significantly higher densities than
surrounding areas. These areas are typically occupied year round and are not necessarily associated with a specific season.
Includes rough break country, riparian areas, small drainages, and large areas of irrigated cropland.
HIGHWAY CROSSING: Those areas where mule deer movements traditionally cross roads, presenting potential conflicts
between mule deer and motorists.
MIGRATION CORRIDORS: A specific Mappable site through which large numbers of animals migrate and loss of which would
change migration routes.
RESIDENT POPULATION: An area that provides year-round range for a population of mule deer. The resident mule deer use all
of the area all year; it cannot be subdivided into seasonal ranges although it may be included within the overall range of the
larger population.
SEVERE WINTER: That part of the overall range where 90% of the individuals are located when the annual snowpack is at its
maximum and/or temperatures are at a minimum in the two worst winters out of ten.
SUMMER RANGE: That part of the overall range where 90% of the individuals are located between spring green-up and the first
heavy snowfall. Summer range is not necessarily exclusive of winter range; in some areas winter range and summer range may
overlap.
WINTER CONCENTRATION: That part of the winter range where densities are at least 200% greater than the surrounding winter
range density during the same period used to define winter range in the average five winters out of ten.
WINTER RANGE: That part of the overall range where 90 percent of the individuals are located during the average five winters
out of ten from the first heavy snowfall to spring green-up, or during a site specific period of winter as defined for each DAU.
NORTH AMERICAN RIVER OTTER
CONCENTRATION AREA: Areas where river otters are known to concentrate; otter sightings and signs of otter activity are more
frequent in these areas than in their overall range.
OVERALL RANGE: Those areas encompassing all mapped seasonal activity areas within the observed range of a population of
river otters.
WINTER RANGE: Areas used by otters when ice cover is present. This will normally, but not necessarily, be smaller than the
overall range.
ELK
HIGHWAY CROSSING: Those areas where elk movements traditionally cross roads, presenting potential conflicts between elk
and motorists.
Hardwick Crossing PUD Application Wildlife Impact Report
March 2, 2026 45
MIGRATION CORRIDORS: A specific Mappable site through which large numbers of animals migrate and loss of which would
change migration routes.
PRODUCTION AREA: That part of the overall range of elk occupied by the females from May 15 to June 15 for calving. (Only
known areas are mapped and this does not include all production areas for the DAU).
RESIDENT POPULATION: An area used year-round by a population of elk. Individuals could be found in any part of the area at
any time of the year; the area cannot be subdivided into seasonal ranges. It is most likely included within the overall range of
the larger population.
SEVERE WINTER: That part of the range of a species where 90 percent of the individuals are located when the annual snowpack
is at its maximum and/or temperatures are at a minimum in the two worst winters out of ten. The winter of 1983-84 is a good
example of a severe winter.
SUMMER CONCENTRATION: Those areas where elk concentrate from mid-June through mid-August. High quality forage,
security, and lack of disturbance are characteristics of these areas to meet the high energy demands of lactation, calf rearing,
antler growth, and general preparation for the rigors of fall and winter.
SUMMER RANGE: That part of the range of a species where 90% of the individuals are located between spring green-up and the
first heavy snowfall, or during a site specific period of summer as defined for each DAU. Summer range is not necessarily
exclusive of winter range; in some areas winter range and summer range may overlap.
WINTER CONCENTRATION: That part of the winter range of a species where densities are at least 200% greater than the
surrounding winter range density during the same period used to define winter range in the average five winters out of ten.
WINTER RANGE: That part of the overall range of a species where 90 percent of the individuals are located during the average
five winters out of ten from the first heavy snowfall to spring green-up, or during a site specific period of winter as defined for
each DAU.

Project Code: 2026-0055885
Project Name: Hardwick Crossing PUD
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species, as well as proposed and final
designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed
project The species list fulfills the reTuirements of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 USC 1531 et seT)
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or
other factors could change this list Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the
potential impacts to these species or critical habitats (Colorado Ecological Services Field Office). Please note that under 50 CFR
402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the ESA, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90
days. We recommend verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be reTuested through the IPaC system by
completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the ESA is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they
depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the ESA and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402), Federal
agencies are reTuired to use their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and
to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat.
A %iological Assessment is reTuired for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are
major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation like a %iological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/
or designated or proposed critical habitat. Contents of a %iological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends Federal agencies
also address proposed species and proposed critical habitat within the consultation (see Conferencing below) and consider
candidate species. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or
Project code: 2026-0055885 02/26/2026 23:35:15 UTC

license applicants, can be found in the Endangered Species Consultation Handbook at: https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/
documents/endangered-species-consultation-handbook.pdf.
Projects and activities without a Federal nexus (e.g., without Federal funding, permit, or authori]ation) should be evaluated for
the potential to ²take³ listed wildlife. Take does not apply to listed plants and to designated critical habitat. The term take means
to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such
conduct (ESA Section 3, Definitions). Harm in the definition of ²take³ in the ESA means an act which actually kills or injures
wildlife. Such act may include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures wildlife by
significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or sheltering (50 CFR 17.3).
Conferencing: Conferencing for species proposed for Federal listing or for proposed critical habitat is only required if a proposed
action is likely to jeopardi]e the continued existence of a species or will result in the destruction or adverse modification of
proposed critical habitat (50 CFR 402.10). If an action agency determines that their action would not jeopardi]e the continued
existence of the proposed species and/or would not result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitat,
the determination should be saved in the agencyµs project record. Agencies may request a voluntary conference to address adverse
effects however, at this time the Colorado Field Office intends to not conduct voluntary conferences for the species discussed in
this cover letter.
For purposes of ESA section 7 consultation, we treat experimental populations (e.g., gray wolf in Colorado) as if they are
proposed for listing, except on National Park Service and National Wildlife Refuge system lands, where they are treated as
threatened. Evaluations for proposed species are completed under the regulations for conferencing (50 CFR 402.10).
*rD\:oOf: On November 8, 2023, the Service promulgated an ESA section 10(j) (i.e., nonessential experimental population or
NEP) rule (10(j) rule) for gray wolf (Canis lupus) within the State of Colorado (88 FR 77014). In the 10(j) rule, the
Service determined that the loss of the Colorado NEP would not be likely to appreciably reduce the likelihood of survival of the
species in the wild and that the establishment of the NEP would benefit recovery by increasing redundancy and
representation. Furthermore, it is unlikely that typical agency actions in Colorado, especially those with temporary impacts to
habitat, will result in any adverse effects to the gray wolf. Agencies may consider implementing voluntary conservation
measures near active dens and rende]vous sites. See Conferencing above.
Colorado River Fish/Depletions: Formal interagency consultation under section 7 of the ESA is required for projects that may
lead to depletions of water from any system that is a tributary to the Colorado River. Federal agency actions resulting in water
depletions to the Colorado River system may affect the endangered bonytail (Gila elegans), Colorado pikeminnow
(3W\FKRFKeilus luFius), razorback sucker (;\UauFKen We[anus), and the threatened humpback chub (Gila F\pKa), and their
designated critical habitats.
Water depletions include evaporative losses and consumptive use of surface or groundwater within the affected basin, often
characterized as diversions minus return flows. Project elements that could be associated with depletions include, but are not
limited to: ponds, lakes, and reservoirs (e.g., detention, recreation, irrigation, storage, stock watering, municipal storage, and
power generation); drilling, hydraulic fracturing and completion of oil and gas wells; hydrostatic testing of pipelines; water wells;
dust abatement; diversion structures; and water treatment facilities. Any actions that may result in water depletions should
be identified. An analysis of the water depletion should include: an estimate of the amount and timing of the average annual water
use (both historic and new uses) and methods of arriving at such estimates; location of water use or where diversion occurs, as
specifically as possible; if and when the water will be returned to the system; and the intended use of the water. Depending on
Project details, the Service may have more specific questions regarding the potential consumptive use of the water.
Project code: 2026-0055885 02/26/2026 23:35:15 UTC
3 of 17
The Service, in accordance with the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program (https://
coloradoriverrecovery.org/uc/), adopted a de minimis policy, which states that water-related activities in the Upper Colorado
River %asin that result in less than 10 acre-foot per year of depletions in flow have no effect on the Colorado River endangered
fish species and their critical habitat, and thus do not require consultation for potential effects on those species and critical
habitat. While no section 7 consultation is needed, the Service requests Federal agencies notify the Upper Colorado Fishes
Coordinator of depletions between 0.1 and 10 acre-feet per year with the approximate location of the project (e.g., reference to
the most proximate surface water or tributary), the water use (e.g., agricultural, oil and gas, energy), and the timing of and
depletion amount. Similarly, detention basins designed to detain runoff for less than 72 hours, and temporary withdrawals of
water outside of critical habitat (e.g., for hydrostatic pipeline testing) that return all the water to the same drainage basin within 30
days, are considered to have no effect and do not require consultation.
6XcNle\µs CXcNoo %XPEle %ee: On December 17, 2024, Suckleyµs cuckoo bumble bee (%RPEus suFNle\i) (Suckleyµs) was
proposed for listing as an endangered species (89 FR 102074). Suckleyµs is an obligate social parasite of social bumble bees in
the genus %ombus. Suckleyµs cannot successfully reproduce without the availability of suitable host colonies. It is a semi-
specialist parasite and confirmed to usurp nests of Western bumble bee (Bombus occidentalis) and Nevada bumble bees
(Bombus neYadensis) (Service 2024). %ased on the best available information, no Suckleyµs have been observed in Colorado
since 2014 despite ongoing surveys. The Species Status Assessment (SSA) shows observations since 2018 occur only in northern
latitudes, primarily in Canada (Service 2024), but the species may persist in high quality upper elevation habitats in western
States.
While Suckleyµs is proposed for listing, there is no prohibition of ²take³ under Section 9 of the ESA; therefore, projects without a
federal nexus, do not need to engage with the Service to exempt take under the ESA. However,
we encourage everyone to incorporate conservation measures benefiting pollinators and pollinator habitat into
projects. Examples include retaining suitable foraging (diversity and abundance of native floral resources), nesting (suitable host
colony above or below ground), and overwintering habitat (loose substrates such as leaf litter, duff, rotting logs); maintaining
habitat for host bumble bees by avoiding impacts to abandoned underground holes (rodent burrows); and revegetation efforts that
include native seed mixes with a diversity of nectar plants (https://www.xerces.org/monarchs/monarch-nectar-plant-
guides) to promote an abundance and diversity of native floral resources. Additionally, we recommend supporting and conducting
general bumble bee and pollinator surveys. <ou may also consider tools that offer regulatory assurances should Suckleyµs become
a listed species. For example, on January 22, 2026, the Service Proposed a Nationwide Conservation Benefit Agreement for
Bumble Bees.
At this time, the Colorado Field Office will not be participating in voluntary conferences for the species. Nationally, the
Service is developing range-wide consultation guidance and streamlining tools for the Suckleyµs, and we will share these as they
become available.
0onarch %Xtterfl\: The monarch butterfly ('anaus ple[ippus) was proposed threatened under the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) on December 12, 2024 (89 FR 100662). The proposed listing rule, including a special 4(d) rule, and proposed critical
habitat in the California winter range, are available on the species webpage: https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/species/9743 and at https://
www.fws.gov/species/monarch-danaus-plexippus. Two monarch butterfly populations occupy North America ° the eastern
population which is east of the Rocky Mountains, and the western population which is west of the Rocky Mountains. The eastern
population supports well over 90% of the monarchs in North America. Colorado supports both populations. In Colorado,
monarch butterfly habitat consists of grasslands, prairies, riparian areas, and urban gardens that support milkweed and a variety of
nectar plants. We recommend agencies include proactive conservation measures into their projects such as restoring disturbed

While the monarch butterfly is proposed for listing, there is no prohibition of ²take³ under Section 9 of the ESA; therefore,
projects without a federal nexus, do not need to engage with the Service to exempt take under the ESA. However, we encourage
everyone to include conservation measures to benefit monarch butterflies and other pollinators into projects. <ou may also
consider tools that offer regulatory assurances should the monarch become a listed species such as Conservation Benefit
Agreements (CBAs), or you may qualify to enroll into the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances for the Monarch
Butterfly.
At this time, the Colorado Field Office will not be participating in voluntary conferences for the species. It is unlikely that typical
localized actions in Colorado, especially those with temporary impacts in migratory or breeding habitat, will jeopardize the
species. . Nationally, the Service continues to develop range-wide consultation guidance and streamlining tools for the
Monarch butterfly and other pollinators.
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the ESA, there
are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
(BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles,
is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)).
For more information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what- we-do.
It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and
eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no
federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related
stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian
stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory
Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those
effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the
protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order
13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation-migratory-birds.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include
conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the ESA. Please include
the Consultation Code found in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office at GrandJunctionES@fws.gov.

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 12 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species. Note that 4 of these species should be
considered only under certain conditions.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

BACKGROUND & QUALIFICATIONS
Colorado Wildlife Science, LLC (CWS) is a small wildlife and ecological consulting firm based in Basalt,
Colorado, specializing in wildlife research, management, and monitoring, ecological assessments,
wildfire hazard assessments, baseline inventories, ecological planning, habitat management, and
ecological restoration. CWS applies a scientifically sound approach to biological resource studies and
management. Our work combines professional integrity and strong academic training with extensive
experience working for government, private, and non-profit clients. With an extensive network of
professional collaborators that includes plant ecologists, foresters, hydrologists, and soil scientists,
CWS leverages the collective knowledge of experienced professionals working toward practical,
effective and cost saving solutions.
CWS provides expert services to a diverse array of clients. Since we are a small company, personal
attention is ensured. We combine full in-house GIS (ArcGIS) with real-time, sub-meter GPS to provide
state-of-the-art spatial data, analyses, maps, and presentations. Owner and Wildlife Biologist
Jonathan Lowsky, M.S. Wildlife Biology, Colorado State University, has a broad range of knowledge.
With more than 26 years of professional experience with federal (US Forest Service), state (Colorado
Division of Wildlife), and county agencies as well as two major universities (Colorado State University
and University of Washington), Jonathan’s career has focused on a diverse array of wildlife. Mr.
Lowsky’s experience includes biological assessments and evaluations for NEPA compliance,
conservation planning, GIS mapping and modeling, wildlife research, and ecological monitoring
design and implementation, as well as wetland and riparian delineations, evaluations, and
restoration. He has authored management plans and conservation easement baseline inventory
reports and published scientific papers.
Jonathan has been directly involved in fire mitigation since 1995 when he directed ponderosa pine
fuel reduction, thinning, and habitat improvement efforts on the North Kaibab Ranger District of the
Kaibab National Forest. Over the course of 26 years as a professional ecologist he has gained intimate
knowledge of ecosystem processes in western Colorado that lead to increased fuel loads, over-
mature forest and shrublands, and measures that can be taken to reduce the threat and intensity of
wildfires. In addition, I am experienced in mechanical treatments of forest, woodland, and shrubland
for the purpose of wildfire mitigation and habitat improvement. Mr. Lowsky strongly believes that
these two resource goals are mutually beneficial and measures that prioritize either wildfire
mitigation or habitat improvement should consider both goals in the design and implementation of
those actions.
In addition, Mr. Lowsky is a certified wildland fire mitigation expert and has completed two wildland
fire mitigation certification courses: (1) Wildland Fire Assessment Program and (2) National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) FIREWISE - Conducting an Assessment in the Wildland/Urban
Interface.
A detailed description of Mr. Lowsky’s professional experience and references are available. For

3. SECURITY FOR SUBDIVISION IMPROVEMENTS (EXCEPT RE-
2908211.3 4
VEGETATION).
a. Subdivision Improvements Letter of Credit and Substitute Collateral. As
security for Owner’s obligation to complete the Phase 1 Subdivision Improvements, Owner
shall deliver to the BOCC, on or before the date of recording of the Final Plat of the
Subdivision, a Letter of Credit in the form agreed to be acceptable to the BOCC, attached to
and incorporated in this SIA by reference as Exhibit “C” (the “Phase 1 LOC”), or in a form
consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code, C.R.S. § 4-1-101, et seq. and approved by
the BOCC. The Phase 1 LOC shall be in the amount of $( full estimate for Phase 1 ),
representing the full estimated cost of completing the Phase 1 Subdivision Improvements,
with a sufficient contingency to cover cost changes, unforeseen costs, and other variables
(not less than 10% of the estimated cost and as approved by the BOCC), as set forth and
certified by Owner’s Engineer on Exhibit B to guarantee completion of the Phase 1
Subdivision Improvements. The Phase 1 LOC shall be valid for a minimum of six (6) months
beyond the Phase 1 Completion Date set forth in Paragraph 2.a., above.
As security for Owner’s obligation to complete the Phase 2 Subdivision
Improvements, Owner shall, prior to commencement of construction of the Phase 2
Subdivision Improvements, either (i) deliver to the BOCC a Letter of Credit in the form of
Exhibit C in the amount of $( full estimate for Phase 2 ), representing the full estimated cost of
completing the Phase 2 Subdivision Improvements, with a sufficient contingency to cover
cost changes, unforeseen costs and other variables (not less than 10% of the estimated cost
and as approved by the BOCC), as set forth and certified by Owner’s Engineer on Exhibit B
to guarantee completion of the Phase 2 Subdivision Improvements, or (ii) extend the Phase 1
LOC to a date that is at least six (6) months beyond the Phase 2 Completion Date and
2908211.3 5
increase the amount thereof, if needed, to the amount set forth on Exhibit B for the Phase 2
Subdivision Improvements.
As security for Owner’s obligation to complete the Phase 3 Subdivision
Improvements, Owner shall, prior to commencement of construction of the Phase 3
Subdivision Improvements, either (i) deliver to the BOCC a Letter of Credit in the form of
Exhibit C in the amount of $( full estimate for Phase 2 ), representing the full estimated cost of
completing the Phase 3 Subdivision Improvements, with a sufficient contingency to cover
cost changes, unforeseen costs and other variables (not less than 10% of the estimated cost

to guarantee completion of the Phase 3 Subdivision Improvements, or (ii) extend the Phase 1
LOC to a date that is at least six (6) months beyond the Phase 3 Completion Date and
increase the amount thereof, if needed, to the amount set forth on Exhibit B for the Phase 3
Subdivision Improvements.
The BOCC, at its sole option, may permit the Owner to substitute collateral other
than a Letter of Credit, in a form acceptable to the BOCC, for the purpose of securing the
completion of the Subdivision Improvements subject to this Paragraph 3.a.
b. LOC Requirements and Plat Recording. Each LOC required by this SIA shall
be issued by a state or national banking institution acceptable to the BOCC. If the institution
issuing an LOC is not licensed in the State of Colorado and transacting business within the
State of Colorado, the LOC shall be “confirmed” within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code, Letters of Credit, § 4-5-101, et seq., C.R.S., as amended, by a bank that is
licensed to do business in the State of Colorado, doing business in Colorado, and acceptable
to the BOCC. Each LOC shall state that presentation of drafts drawn under the LOC shall be
2908211.3 6
at an office of the issuer or confirmer located in the State of Colorado. The Final Plat of the
Subdivision shall not be recorded until the security for the Phase 1 Subdivision
Improvements described in this paragraph 3 has been received and approved by the BOCC.
c. Extension of LOC Expiration Date. If any Completion Date identified in
paragraph 2.a., above, is extended by a written amendment to this SIA, the time period for
the validity of the applicable LOC shall be similarly extended. For each six (6) month
extension, at the sole option of the BOCC, the face amount of the LOC shall be subject to re-
certification by Owner’s Engineer of the cost of completion and review by the BOCC.
d. Unenforceable LOC. Should an LOC expire or become void or unenforceable
for any reason, including bankruptcy of the Owner or the financial institution issuing or
confirming the LOC, prior to the BOCC’s approval of Owner’s Engineer’s certification of
completion of the phased Subdivision Improvements, as applicable, this SIA shall become
void and of no force and effect and the Final Plat shall be vacated pursuant to the terms of
this SIA.
e. Partial Releases of Security. Owner may request partial releases of the
phased LOC and shall do so by means of submission to the Building and Planning
Department of a “Written Request for Partial Release of LOC”, in the form attached to and
incorporated by this reference as Exhibit D, accompanied by the Owner’s Engineer’s
stamped certificate of partial completion of improvements. The Owner’s Engineer’s seal
shall certify that the subject Subdivision Improvements have been constructed in accordance
with the requirements of this SIA, including all Final Plat Documents and Final Plat
Approval. Owner may also request release for a portion of the security upon proof that 1)
Owner has a valid contract with a public utility company regulated by the Colorado Public
2908211.3 7
Utilities Commission obligating such company to install certain utility lines; and 2) Owner
has paid to the utility company the cost of installation as required by the contract. The BOCC
shall authorize successive releases of portions of the face amount of the LOC as portions of
the Subdivision Improvements, dealt with in this Paragraph 3, are certified as complete to the
BOCC by the Owner’s Engineer and said certification is approved by the BOCC.
f. BOCC’s Investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon submission of
the Owner’s Written Request for Partial Release of LOC, along with Owner’s Engineer’s
certificate of partial completion of improvements, the BOCC may review the certification
and may inspect and review the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete to
determine whether or not they have been constructed in compliance with relevant
specifications, as follows:
i. If no letter of potential deficiency is furnished to Owner by the BOCC
within fifteen (15) business days of submission of Owner’s Written Request for
Partial Release of LOC, accompanied by Owner’s Engineer’s certificate of partial
completion of improvements, all Subdivision Improvements certified as complete
shall be deemed approved by the BOCC, and the BOCC shall authorize release of the
appropriate amount of security.
ii. If the BOCC chooses to inspect and determines that all or a portion of
the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete are not in compliance with the
relevant specifications, the BOCC shall furnish a letter of potential deficiency to the
Owner, within fifteen (15) business days of submission of Owner’s Written Request
for Partial Release of LOC, accompanied by Owner’s Engineer’s certificate of partial
completion of improvements.
2908211.3 8
iii. If a letter of potential deficiency is issued identifying a portion of the
certified Subdivision Improvements as potentially deficient, then all Subdivision
Improvements not identified as potentially deficient shall be deemed approved by the
BOCC, and the BOCC shall authorize release of the amount of security related to the
Subdivision Improvements certified as complete and not identified as potentially
deficient.
iv. With respect to Subdivision Improvements identified as potentially
deficient in a letter of potential deficiency, the BOCC shall have thirty (30) days
from the date of the letter to complete the initial investigation, begun under
subparagraph 3.f.ii., above, and provide written confirmation of the deficiency(ies) to
the Owner.
v. If the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete,
in compliance with the relevant specifications, then the appropriate amount of
security shall be authorized for release within ten (10) business days after completion
of such investigation.
g. BOCC Completion of Improvements and Other Remedies. If the BOCC
finds, within the thirty (30) day period of time defined in subparagraph 3.f.iv. above, that the
Subdivision Improvements are not complete, or if the BOCC determines that the Owner will
not or cannot construct any or all of the Subdivision Improvements, whether or not Owner
has submitted a written request for release of LOC, the BOCC may withdraw and employ
from the LOC such funds as may be necessary to construct the Subdivision Improvements in
accordance with the specifications, up to the face amount or remaining face amount of the
applicable LOC. In such event, the BOCC shall make a written finding regarding Owner’s
2908211.3 9
failure to comply with this SIA prior to requesting payment from the LOC in accordance
with the LUDC. In lieu of or in addition to drawing on the LOC, the BOCC may bring an
action for injunctive relief or damages for the Owner’s failure to adhere to the provisions of
this SIA regarding Subdivision Improvements. The BOCC shall provide the Owner a
reasonable time to cure any identified deficiency(ies) prior to requesting payment from the
LOC or filing a civil action.
h. Final Release of Security. Upon completion of each phased Subdivision
Improvements, and including off-site improvements, Owner shall submit to the BOCC,
through the Building and Planning Department: 1) record drawings bearing the stamp of
Owner’s Engineer certifying that all relevant Subdivision Improvements for the completed
phase, including off-site improvements, have been constructed in accordance with the
requirements of this SIA, including all Final Plat Documents and the Final Plat Approval, in
hard copy and digital format acceptable to the BOCC; 2) copies of instruments conveying
real property and other interests which Owner is obligated to convey to any statutory special
district or other entity at the time of Final Plat Approval [, unless escrowed in accordance
with paragraph __ below]; and 3) a Written Request for Final Release of LOC, in the form
attached to and incorporated herein as Exhibit E, along with Owner’s Engineer’s stamp and
certificate of final completion of improvements, unless the LOC will be extended to cover
the additional phased Subdivision Improvements, in which case the Phase 1 LOC will remain
in effect, as amended and extended. The BOCC shall authorize a final release of each LOC
after the Subdivision Improvements that are the subject of the LOC are certified as final to
the BOCC by the Owner’s Engineer and said final certification is approved by the BOCC. If
the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete, in accordance with the
2908211.3 10
relevant specifications, the BOCC shall authorize release of the final amount of security,
within ten (10) business days following submission of the Owner’s Written Request for Final
Release of LOC accompanied by the other documents required by this paragraph 3.h.
i. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Owner’s Written Request for
Final Release of LOC, accompanied by Owner’s Engineer’s certificate of final
completion of improvements, the BOCC may inspect and review the Subdivision
Improvements certified as complete. If the BOCC does so review and inspect, the
process contained in paragraph 3.f., above, shall be followed.
ii. If the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete,
in accordance with the relevant specifications, the BOCC shall authorize final release
of security within ten (10) days after completion of such investigation.
iii. If the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are not
complete, in accordance with the relevant specifications, the BOCC may complete
remaining Subdivision Improvements, or institute court action in accordance with the
process outlined in paragraph 3.g., above.
4. SECURITY FOR REVEGETATION.
a. Revegetation LOC and Substitute Collateral. $____________ of the face
amount of each LOC specified in Paragraph 3a, above, shall be allocated to revegetation of
disturbed areas within each Phase (“Revegetation LOC”), the cost for which is detailed as a
subdivision improvement in Exhibit B. The Revegetation LOC shall be valid for a minimum
of two (2) years following the final phase’s Completion Date. The BOCC, at its sole option
may permit the Owner to substitute collateral other than a Letter of Credit, in a form
acceptable to the BOCC, for the purpose of securing the completion of revegetation.
2908211.3 11
b. Revegetation LOC General Provisions. The provisions of paragraphs 3.b.,
3.c. and 3.d., above, dealing with Letter of Credit requirements, extension of expiration
dates, increase in face amounts, plat recording, and plat vacating shall apply to the
Revegetation LOC.
c. Revegetation Review and Notice of Deficiency. Upon establishment of
revegetation, the Owner shall request review of the revegetation work by the Garfield
County Vegetation Management Department, by telephone or in writing. Such review shall
be for the purpose of verification of success of revegetation and reclamation in accordance
with the Garfield County Weed Management Plan 2000, adopted by Resolution No. 2002-94
and recorded in the Office of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder as Reception No.
580572, as amended, and the revegetation/reclamation plan titled _____________ and dated
_________________ for the Subdivision submitted as part of the Final Plat Documents. If
the Vegetation Management Department refuses approval and provides written notice of
deficiency(ies), the Owner shall cure such deficiency(ies) by further revegetation efforts,
approved by the Vegetation Management Department, as such efforts may be instituted
within the two (2) years following the final phase’s Completion Date, as applicable.
d. Single Request for Release of Revegetation LOC. Following receipt of
written approval of the Vegetation Management Department, the Owner may request release
of the Revegetation LOC and shall do so by means of submission to the BOCC, through the
Building and Planning Department, of a Written Request for Release of Revegetation LOC,
in the form attached to and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit E, along with
certification of completion by the Owner, or Owner’s agent with knowledge, and a copy of
the written approval of the Vegetation Management Department. It is specifically understood
2908211.3 12
by the parties that the Revegetation LOC is not subject to successive partial releases, as
authorized in paragraph 3.e., above. Further, the Revegetation LOC and the BOCC’s
associated rights to withdraw funds and bring a court action may survive final release of the
LOC securing other Subdivision Improvements, defined in paragraph 3.a., above.
e. BOCC’s Completion of Revegetation and Other Remedies. If Owner’s
revegetation efforts are deemed by the BOCC to be unsuccessful, in the sole opinion of the
BOCC upon the recommendation of the Vegetation Management Department, or if the
BOCC determines that the Owner will not or cannot complete revegetation, the BOCC, in its
discretion, may withdraw and employ from the Revegetation LOC such funds as may be
necessary to carry out the revegetation work, up to the face amount of the Revegetation
LOC. In lieu of or in addition to drawing on the Revegetation LOC, the BOCC may bring an
action for injunctive relief or damages for the Owner’s failure to adhere to the provisions of
this SIA related to revegetation. The BOCC shall provide the Owner a reasonable time to
cure any identified deficiency prior to requesting payment from the Revegetation LOC or
filing a civil action.
5. WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER COLLECTION. As stated in
paragraph 13, below, prior to issuance by the BOCC of any certificates of occupancy for any
residences or other habitable structures constructed within the Subdivision, Owner shall install,
connect, and make operable a water supply and distribution system for potable water, fire protection,
non-potable irrigation water, and a wastewater/sewer collection system in accordance with approved
plans and specifications. All easements and rights-of-way necessary for installation, operation,
service and maintenance of such water supply and distribution system(s) and wastewater collection
system shall be as shown on the Final Plat. Owner shall deposit with the Garfield County Clerk and
2908211.3 13
Recorder executed originals of the instruments of conveyance for easements appurtenant to the water
and wastewater system(s), for recordation following recording of the Final Plat and this SIA, unless
such easements are established on the Final Plat. All facilities and equipment contained within the
water supply and wastewater collection system(s) shall be transferred by Owner to the applicable
special district or municipality by bill of sale. If a third-party water or sewer service entity requires
warranty of the system(s), Owner shall provide proof to the BOCC that such warranty is in effect
and, if necessary, has been assigned.
6. ROADS. Pursuant to the Final Plat Approvals, all roads within the Subdivision shall
be private and privately owned and maintained. Owner shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance, repair, and upkeep of said rights-of-way, including the traveled surface of the
roadways and portions of the rights-of-way outside of the traveled surface. The BOCC shall not be
obligated to maintain any road rights-of-way within the Subdivision.
7. PUBLIC UTILITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY. Whether or not utility easements exist
elsewhere in the Subdivision, all road rights-of-way within the Subdivision shall contain rights-of-
way for installation and maintenance of utilities. Public utility easements shall be dedicated by the
Owner to the public utilities on the face of the Final Plat, subject to the Garfield County Road and
Right-of-Way Use Regulations, recorded as Reception No. 643477, in the records of the Garfield
County Clerk and Recorder, as amended. Owner shall be solely responsible for the maintenance,
repair and upkeep of said public utility easements, unless otherwise agreed to with the public utility
company(ies). The BOCC shall not be obligated for the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of any
utility easement within the Subdivision. In the event a utility company, whether publicly or privately
owned, requires conveyance of the easements dedicated on the face of the Final Plat by separate
document, Owner shall execute and record the required conveyance documents.
2908211.3 14
8. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
9. INDEMNITY. The Owner shall indemnify and hold the BOCC harmless and defend
the BOCC from all claims which may arise as a result of the Owner’s installation of the Subdivision
Improvements, including off-site improvements and revegetation, and any other agreement or
obligation of Owner, related to development of the Subdivision, required pursuant to this SIA. The
Owner, however, does not indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards
imposed by the BOCC are improper or the cause of the injury asserted, or from claims which may
arise from the negligent acts or omissions of the BOCC or its employees. The BOCC shall notify
the Owner of receipt by the BOCC of a notice of claim or a notice of intent to sue, and the BOCC
shall afford the Owner the option of defending any such claim or action. Failure to notify and
provide such written option to the Owner shall extinguish the BOCC’s rights under this paragraph.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to constitute a waiver of governmental immunity
granted to the BOCC by Colorado statutes and case law.
10. ROAD IMPACT FEE. Pursuant to the Garfield County subdivision regulations, the
following Road Impact Fees apply within the Subdivision: $___________ per residential unit. The
Road Impact Fee will be collected at the time a building permit issues for a structure within the
Subdivision.
11. FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION OF SCHOOL LAND. Owner shall make a
cash deposit in lieu of dedicating land to the RE-1 School District, calculated in accordance with the
LUDC and the requirements of state law. The Owner and the BOCC acknowledge and agree that the
cash in lieu payment for the Subdivision is calculated as follows:
Unimproved per acre market value of land, based upon an appraisal submitted to the
BOCC by Owner, i.e. $_________________; and
2908211.3 15
Land dedication standard: 21 multi-family dwelling units x .015 acres equals .315
acres.
The Owner, therefore, shall pay to the Garfield County Treasurer, at or prior to the time of
recording of the Final Plat, _______________ ($___________) as a payment in lieu of dedication of
land to the RE-1 School District. Said fee shall be transferred by the BOCC to the school district in
accordance with the provisions of § 30-28-133, C.R.S., as amended, and the LUDC.
The Owner agrees that it is obligated to pay the above-stated fee, accepts such obligations,
and waives any claim that Owner is not required to pay the cash in lieu of land dedication fee. The
Owner agrees that Owner will not claim, nor is Owner entitled to claim, subsequent to recording of
the Final Plat of the Subdivision, a reimbursement of the fee in lieu of land dedication to the RE-1
School District.
12. SALE OF LOTS. No lots, tracts, or parcels within the Subdivision may be
separately conveyed prior to recording of the Final Plat in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder.
13. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. As one
remedy for breach of this SIA, the BOCC may withhold issuance of building permits for any
residence or other habitable structure to be constructed within the Subdivision. Further, no building
permit shall be issued unless the Owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Carbondale & Rural
Fire Protection District (“District”), if the District has so required, that there is adequate water
available to the construction site for the District’s purposes [and all applicable District fees have
been paid to the District]. No certificates of occupancy shall issue for any habitable building or
structure, including residences, within the Subdivision until all Subdivision Improvements [, except
revegetation] and including off-site improvements, have been completed and are operational as
2908211.3 16
required by this SIA.
14. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. In the event the Owner fails to comply with the
terms of this SIA, the BOCC shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat as it pertains to any lots
for which building permits have not been issued. As to lots for which building permits have been
issued, the Plat shall not be vacated and shall remain valid. In such event, the Owner shall provide
the BOCC a plat, suitable for recording, showing the location by surveyed legal description of any
portion of the Final Plat so vacated by action of the BOCC. If such a Plat is not signed by the BOCC
and recorded, or if such Plat is not provided by the Owner, the BOCC may vacate the Final Plat, or
portions thereof, by resolution.
2908211.3 17
15. ENFORCEMENT. In addition to any rights provided by Colorado statute, the
withholding of building permits and certificates of occupancy, provided for in paragraph 13, above,
the provisions for release of security, detailed in paragraph 3, above, and the provisions for plat
vacation, detailed in paragraph 14, above, it is mutually agreed by the BOCC and the Owner, that the
BOCC, without making an election of remedies, and any purchaser of any lot within the Subdivision
shall have the authority to bring an action in the Garfield County District Court to compel
enforcement of this SIA. Nothing in this SIA, however, shall be interpreted to require the BOCC to
bring an action for enforcement or to withhold permits or certificates or to withdraw unused security
or to vacate the Final Plat or a portion thereof, nor shall this paragraph or any other provision of this
SIA be interpreted to permit the purchaser of a lot to file an action against the BOCC.
16. NOTICE BY RECORDATION. This SIA shall be recorded in the Office of the
Garfield County Clerk and Recorder and shall be a covenant running with title to all lots, tracts and
parcels within the Subdivision. Such recording shall constitute notice to prospective purchasers and
other interested persons as to the terms and provisions of this SIA.
17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The obligations and rights contained herein shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Owner and the BOCC.
18. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. The
representatives of the Owner and the BOCC, identified below, are authorized as contract
administrators and notice recipients. Notices required or permitted by this SIA shall be in writing
and shall be effective upon the date of delivery, or attempted delivery if delivery is refused.
Delivery shall be made in person, by certified return receipt requested U.S. Mail, receipted delivery
service, or facsimile transmission, addressed to the authorized representatives of the BOCC and the
Owner at the address or facsimile number set forth below:

form of security, or approval of a change in the identity of the security provider/issuer, shall be

HARDWICK CROSSING PUD
REZONING JUSTIFICATION REPORT (4-203 H)
MARCH 19, 2026
This Rezoning Justification Report is required by Sections 6-301 and 4-203 of the Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code (“LUDC”) for an application for a Planned Unit
Development. This report explains how the proposed PUD zoning satisfies the approval criteria for
a rezoning set forth in Section 4-113C. See LUDC Article 6-202.C., Review Criteria.
A. Rezoning Criteria
Garfield County Land Use and Development Code
Section 4-113. Rezoning
… C. Review Criteria
An application for rezoning shall … meet the following criteria:
1. The proposed rezoning would result in a logical and orderly development pattern
and would not constitute spot zoning.
2. The area to which the proposed rezoning would apply has changed or is changing
to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage a new use or density
in the area;
3. The proposed rezoning addresses a demonstrated community need with respect
to facilities, services, or housing; and
4. The proposed rezoning is in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan
and in compliance with any applicable intergovernmental agreement.
B. PUD Application Satisfies the Rezoning Criteria
1. The proposed rezoning would result in a logical and orderly development pattern and would not constitute
spot zoning;
a. Logical and Orderly Development Pattern
The Hardwick Crossing PUD, as discussed in detail in the PUD Guide, is located in Garfield
County between the City of Glenwood Spring and the Town of Carbondale, it is within the City of
Glenwood Springs 3-mile UGB. It is zoned Rural according to the Garfield County Zoning map, and
categorized as Residential-Medium on the Garfield County Future Land use Map (the FLUM).
Hardwick Crossing is a logical and orderly use of the two parcels, beginning with a residential
“village” of 28 workforce housing units enjoying river frontage along the Roaring Fork River. Flowing
from the village, there is outdoor and indoor storage for the village residents and an access road and
open space separating the village from the more dense mix-use parcels. The mixed use parcel then
flow from indoor boat storage to the Commercial Park being closest to the highway access and farthest
from the residential village. This organization creates a beautiful oasis along the river for residential
Page 2 of 5
life, while providing an easy live/work environment closer to a key Highway 82 corridor. The PUD
will consolidate two underutilized parcels to create needed work-force housing development in a key
location south of Glenwood Springs. The PUD site plan provides the logical development plan, and
the Applicant will work with the County to develop the most logical development pattern and plan.
b. Not Spot Zoning
Approval of this PUD would not constitute spot zoning under Colorado law. The test for
determining whether a particular action is spot zoning is whether the action is designed to relieve a
certain piece of property from zoning restrictions in spite of, rather than in conformance with, the
County’s Comprehensive Plan. Clark v. City of Boulder, 362 P.2d 160, 162 (Colo. 1961). In other words,
spot zoning “creates a small island of property with restrictions on its use different from those
imposed on the surrounding property,” and which are not consistent with the County’s
Comprehensive Plan. Whitelaw v. Denver City Council, 405 P.3d 433, 445 (Colo. App. 2017). If the
rezoning is for the purpose of furthering a comprehensive zoning plan or based on changed
conditions, the rezoning is not spot zoning. Id. (citing King's Mill Homeowners Ass'n v. City of Westminster,
192 Colo. 305, 312, 557 P.2d 1186, 1191 (1976) and 3 Arden H. Rathkopf & Daren A. Rathkopf,
Rathkopf's The Law of Zoning and Planning § 41:8 (4th ed. 2016)).
This PUD is consistent with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan, is compatible with
surrounding land uses, and is not intended merely to relieve a small island from the restrictions of
zoning regulations. Instead, this PUD is a systematic and thoughtful revitalization of the entire
underutilized vacant area as one contiguous developed mix-use neighborhood. Indeed, the entire
point of a PUD is to provide Counties with greater flexibility than traditional zoning, with more
detailed site planning than would otherwise occur in traditional zone districts.
The Garfield County 2030 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the site as
Residential Medium. The Garfield County Code allows a density of up to 15 dwelling units per acre
where there is access to public water and sewer systems. (6-401(C)(2)). Water will either be provided
by the Roaring Fork Water and Sanitation District. Therefore, the density is entirely appropriate
within the limits of the Garfield County Code, which will result in logical and orderly development
consistent with the development surrounding the site.
The proposed residential uses are a response to changing surrounding land use in Garfield
County north of Carbondale and rises to meet critical community demands. The uses will be
compatible with the surrounding area, will result in a logical and orderly development pattern, will
have significant public benefit and are consistent with the goals and policies of the Garfield County
Comprehensive Plan to logically direct the expansion of Garfield County towards existing
infrastructure and amenities.
2. The area to which the proposed rezoning would apply has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is
in the public interest to encourage a new use or density in the area;1
1 Keep in mind, “it is only when rezoning is in violation of the master plan that there must be some change in the
conditions of the neighborhood to support a zoning change.” E.g., Applebaugh v. BOCC of San Miguel County, State of Colo.,
837 P.2d 304, 309 (Colo. App. 1992).
Page 3 of 5
This area of the County has experienced steady growth over the past two decades, and
exponential growth in the past few years with Iron Bridge directly to the south. Although the character
of the area has been steadily changing over the past few decades, the most recent changes concern the
cost of living and critical demand for housing that has emerged. Indeed, in May 2024, NBC News
determined that Garfield County was the most difficult county in the entire country in which to purchase
a home.2 A seminal regional housing study determined that, in 2017, that the Roaring Fork Valley
region has a shortfall of over 3,900 units and projected that this shortfall would increase to over 5,700
units by 2027.3 The housing shortfall detrimentally impacts the local and regional economy in various
ways, and presents an existential threat to the short and long term economic viability of the region.4
One important component of that shortfall is housing demand for the “missing middle”—that is,
households between 100 and 160 AMI.
The housing emergency has not abated and continues to be an issue. For example, in a letter
from the Glenwood Springs Senior Planner to the Glenwood Springs Planning and Zoning
Commission regarding recommended updates to the 2023 Strategic Housing Plan presented at the
September 24, 2024 P&Z meeting, Mr. Fulk-Gray cited that between 2015 and 2022, the Plan Update
found that the average home sale price increased 93% and the affordability gap increased from $49,000
to $293,000. The Plan Update notes that only new homes that are affordable to people making 30%
to 150% AMI or existing homes in which the affordability is improved will satisfy the identified
housing need. The resulting recommendation includes the use of density bonuses in new development.
Thus, large-lot estate style homes will not keep up with the changing character and need of the region,
nor are they supported by changing policy. These findings are echoed in the Greater Roaring Fork
Regional Housing Study published April 1, 2019; and the COVID-19 pandemic’s further exacerbation
of has the housing crisis is discussed in The West Mountain Regional Housing Coalition Housing
Data Supplement published in August 2022.5
Unfortunately, development in the Roaring Fork Valley has not kept pace with these changing
circumstances. For example, only an average of 81 units have been created per year in Glenwood
Springs since 2016—only a fraction of which fall into the missing middle—and that, in general,
production has been “fairly low.”6
These statistics were only exacerbated during COVID, when Garfield County saw a major
influx of residents (mostly wealthy or retired) fleeing more urban areas, further constraining housing
supply for central & western Garfield County residents. For these reasons, Garfield County took the
initiative to amend its Comprehensive Plan in 2020 to explicitly encourage amendments to PUDs
within the County to permit ADUs, and denser residential development. (Policy 1, Strategy vi). The
County has a great opportunity to implement this directive in approving the Hardwick Crossing PUD
Application, which is exclusively providing workforce housing (as opposed to for sale luxury large lot
homes).

The drastic change in desirable, single-family living options has pushed working families
further and further west. The PUD will attempt to alleviate the inevitable vehicle trips from western
portions of the county to Glenwood Springs, which congests the highway through Silt and New Castle,
by providing desirable and attainable housing options for Garfield County residents a short drive into
Glenwood Springs. Given the regional nature of travel in Glenwood Springs, locating new
development west of the City and near high frequency regional transit will help reduce vehicle travel
and congestion for I-70 traffic. Areas of change, such as this site, are therefore targeted for growth to
address workforce housing demand and provide a mix of uses that are compatible with existing
character and meet local demand.
3. The proposed rezoning addresses a demonstrated community need with respect to facilities, services, or housing;
and
Facilities and Services: The PUD will expand the infrastructure and services provided by the
RFWSD. This expansion will allow neighbors the opportunity to connect, as well as bolster the
district’s resiliency and expand its capacity for future development. The property is also directly along
Highway 82, allowing easy access for commuters and commercial traffic.
Housing: Identified as the most critical issue facing Garfield County and the greater Roaring
Fork Valley and Colorado River Valley, the lack of attainable housing within any reasonable proximity
to jobs is a central focus in both the Garfield County and Glenwood Springs comprehensive plans.
This PUD’s central focus is to provide the critically needed for-rent workforce housing for Garfield
County residents.
Traffic: The Glenwood Spring Comprehensive Plan states that Glenwood Springs is a
commuting destination, with almost twice as many jobs as workers, and more than 75% of workers
commuting into Glenwood Springs, mostly from the north/west by car.7 This commuter traffic
through Glenwood Springs causes southbound gridlocks in the morning, and northbound gridlock
traffic in the afternoon. Commuters can sit in traffic backing up sometimes miles outside of the City
during these rush-hour windows. This property is located south of Glenwood Springs, offering an
opportunity to alleviate some traffic through Glenwood Springs.
4. The proposed rezoning is in general conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and in compliance with any
applicable intergovernmental agreement.
The proposed PUD is in general conformance with the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan.
The uses and densities are well within those desired by the County’s Future Land Use Map and are
ready and capable of being serviced with central water and sewer service. There is direct access to
Highway 82, regional transit, recreation, and employment opportunities.
The Property is within the City of Glenwood Springs 3-mile area of influence. The Glenwood
Springs Future Land Use Map makes this property with their “place-holder” designation of Low
Density Residential. This designation is in conflict with the County’s FLUM, however the City of
Glenwood Springs has acknowledged that the Low Density Residential in their future land use map is
a placeholder for future development. The Glenwood Springs Comprehensive Plan (2023) does not

discuss a plan for this area south of the City and the City recently enacted a requirement that all
annexations go to a referendum, so annexation seems a very unlikely option.

the Development Agreement, Project Documents, PUD Guide, and any other applicable laws. Each Owner
shall be entitled to the exclusive ownership and possession of his or her Lot, subject to the rights of the
Declarant and the Association provided in this Declaration.
Section 3.02 Compliance with Laws, Ordinances, Development Agreement and
Association Documents. No Lot shall be used for any purpose not permitted by the PUD Guide for the
Project, the Development Agreement, or this Declaration.
Section 3.03 Use of Common Elements. Except as may be permitted in the Limited
Common Elements pursuant to the Project Documents, there shall be no obstruction of the Common
Elements, nor shall anything be kept or stored on any part of the Common Elements by any Owner without
the prior written approval of the Board of Directors. Nothing shall be altered on, constructed in, or removed
from the Common Elements by any Owner without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors.
Section 3.04 Prohibition of Increases in Insurable Risks and Certain Activities. Nothing
shall be done or kept in any Lot or in or on the Common Elements, or any part thereof, which would result
in the cancellation of the insurance on all or any part of the Project or in an increase in the rate of the
insurance on all or any part of the Project over what the Association, but for such activity, would pay,
without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors. Nothing shall be done or kept in any Lot or
in or on the Common Elements which would be in violation of any Applicable Law. No damage to or waste
of the Common Elements shall be committed by any Owner or Occupant, and each Owner shall indemnify
and hold the Association and the other Owners harmless against all loss resulting from any such damage or
waste caused by such Owner or an Occupant of such Owner's Lot (including all Costs of Enforcement
incurred in the defense of claims arising by reason of this Section or incurred in establishing the right to
indemnification). Failure to so indemnify shall be a default by such Owner under this Section and shall give
rise to a Default Assessment against such Owner's Lot. At its own initiative or upon the written request of
any Owner, if the Association determines that further action by the Association is proper, the Association
shall enforce the foregoing indemnity as a Default Assessment levied against such Lot.
Section 3.05 Improvements to General Common Elements. In the event the Board of
Directors makes a decision to make improvements to the General Common Elements that were not in place
at the time of expiration of the Period of Declarant Control, if possible and practicable, those improvements

installment of those improvements and subsequent maintenance, repair and replacement costs shall be
allocated as set forth in Section 4.2 and Exhibit B.
Section 3.06 Lighting. No lights shall be emitted which are unreasonably bright or
cause unreasonable glare; no sound shall be emitted which is unreasonably loud or annoying; and no odor
shall be emitted which is nauseous or unreasonably offensive to others. The Association may adopt
additional restrictions regarding these matters in the Rules and Regulations or in a separate policy.
Section 3.07 Subdivision of Lots; Relocation of Boundaries Between Adjoining Lots.
Except as expressly otherwise set forth in connection with the Reserved Declarant Rights, Owner(s) may
only subdivide their Lots, relocate boundaries between their Lot and an adjoining Lot, and/or reallocate
Limited Common Elements between or among Lots after obtaining the prior approval of the Garfield
County Board of County Commissioners, and only up the prior approval of the Board of Directors pursuant
to the Rules and Regulations, as well as the consent of all Owners and Eligible First Mortgagees of the Lots
affected by such change
(a) Creation of Subassociation for Management of Subassociation Common Elements.
In the event of future subdivision of a Lot by an Owner, such Owner shall create a Subassociation
to manage such Lot’s common facilities.

shall create a Subassociation contemporaneously with the creation of the Master Association to
manage the Lot A Subassociation Common Elements depicted on the Plat.
(c) Undivided Interest in the Subassociation Common Elements. The percentage of
the undivided interest in the Subassociation Common Elements shall be allocated based on the
number of lots within the Subassociation. For example, Lot A Subassociation will split interests
equally among Lot A1, Lot A2, Lot A3, and Lot A4.
(d) Subassociation Common Expense Liability. The percentage of Subassociation
Common Expense Liability shall be allocated by a Supplemental Declaration governing such
Subassociation.
ARTICLE IV ALLOCATED INTERESTS
Section 4.01 Allocation of interests. The Allocated Interests assigned to each Lot are
set forth on Exhibit B. These interests have been allocated in accordance with the formulae set out in Section
4.02 below. These formulae are to be used in reallocating interests if Lots are added to the Project, if Lots
are converted to a different type of Lot or if Lots are converted to Subassociation Common Elements,
General Common Elements or Limited Common Elements.
Section 4.02 Formulae for the Allocation of Interests. The interests allocated to each
Lot have been calculated by the following formulae and are shown on Exhibit B.
(a) Undivided Interest in the General Common Elements. The percentage of the
undivided interest in the General Common Elements shall be allocated among all Lots as set forth
in Exhibit B.
(b) General Common Expense Liability. The percentage of General Common
Expense Liability shall be allocated among all Lots in the same manner as the percentage of the
undivided interest in the General Common Elements, as set forth in Exhibit B. Allocations for
General Common Expense Liability may be further adjusted as set forth in Section 8.4 of this
Declaration.
(c) Votes. Each Lot shall be allocated a vote as set forth in Exhibit B in the same
matter as allocations of undivided interests in the General Common Elements and undivided
interests in the Subassociations, as applicable.
Section 4.03 Rounding Convention. The total of all Allocated Interests shall be deemed
to equal to one hundred percent (100%) for purposes of this Declaration.
ARTICLE V LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND TAXATION OF LOTS
Section 5.01 Contracts to Convey and Conveyances Subsequent to Recording of
Declaration and Map. Subsequent to the recording of this Declaration and the Map, contracts to convey,
instruments of conveyance of Lots, and every other instrument affecting title to a Lot shall be in
substantially the following form with such omissions, insertions, recitals of fact, or other provisions as may
be required by the circumstances or appropriate to conform to the requirements of any governmental
authority, practice or usage or requirement of law with respect thereto:
Lot _______, according to the Declaration for Hardwick Crossing Planned
Unit Development, recorded _____________, 2026, at (Reception No.

Elements. Every instrument of conveyance, Security Interest, or other instrument affecting the title to a
Lot which legally describes the Lot substantially in the manner set forth above shall be construed to include
the Lot, together with the undivided interest in the Common Elements appurtenant to such Lot, as
allocated on Exhibit B, and together with all fixtures and improvements contained in such Lot, and to
incorporate all the rights incident to ownership of a Lot and all the limitations of ownership as described
in the covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, reservations, rights-of-way, and other provisions
contained in this Declaration and the other Project Documents, including the easement of enjoyment to
use the Common Elements.
Section 5.03 Separate Tax Assessments. Upon the filing for record of this Declaration
and the Map in the Records, Declarant shall deliver a copy of this Declaration to the assessor of each county
specified in the Records as provided by law. The lien for taxes assessed shall be confined to the Lot(s). No
forfeiture or sale of any Lot for delinquent taxes, assessments, or other governmental charge shall divest or
in any way affect the title to any other Lot, including, without limitation, the Common Elements appurtenant
to any other Lot.
ARTICLE VI MEMBERSHIP AND VOTING RIGHTS IN MASTER ASSOCIATION
Section 6.01 Master Association Membership. The Articles of Incorporation shall be
filed no later than the date Declarant delivers the first Deed conveying a Lot in the Project. Every Owner
shall be a member of the Association and shall remain a member for the period of the Owner's ownership
of a Lot. No Owner, whether one or more Persons, shall have more than one membership per Lot owned,
but all of the Persons owning a Lot shall be entitled to rights of membership and of use and enjoyment
appurtenant to ownership of a Lot. Membership in the Association shall be appurtenant to, and may not be
separated from, ownership of a Lot. If title to a Lot is held by more than one Person, such Persons shall
appoint and authorize one Person or alternate Persons to represent the Owners of the Lot pursuant to the
Bylaws, and there shall be a single registered address for each Lot, as applicable, for notice and delivery
purposes as further set forth in the Bylaws.
Section 6.02 Voting Rights and Meetings. Each Lot in the Project shall have the votes
allocated in accordance with Section 4.02; provided, however, no vote allocated to a Lot owned by the
Association may be cast. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed in the election of the Board of Directors
or for any other purpose. The voting power required for any action or determination shall be calculated in
accordance with the Bylaws. A meeting of the Association shall be held at least once each year, and special
meetings of the Association may be called in accordance with the Bylaws.
Section 6.03 Meeting to Approve Annual Budget. Prior to the first annual meeting of
the Association, and thereafter at the annual meeting of the Association or at a special meeting of the
Association called for such purpose, the Owners shall be afforded the opportunity to review the Budget
proposed by the Board of Directors, which shall include separate Budgets for Subassociation Common
Expenses for the Association's next fiscal year. Only the members of the Board of Directors elected by
each Subassociation will be entitled to vote to approve the Budgets applicable to their Subassociation
Common Expenses. If for any reason the Owners within a Subassociation are unable to elect the members
of the Board of Directors, as the context requires, to represent their interests regarding Subassociation
issues, after diligent attempts to do so, then the remaining members of the Board of Directors will be
authorized to approve the Budget for Subassociation Common Expenses. A summary of the proposed
Budgets approved by the Board of Directors shall be delivered to the Owners within ninety (90) days after
approval by the Board of Directors along with a notice of a meeting of the Association to be held not fewer
than ten (10) nor more than fifty (50) days after delivery of the summary to the Owners. Unless at the
meeting at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Total Voting Power reject the proposed Budgets, as
applicable, such Budget shall be deemed ratified whether or not a quorum is present at the meeting. In the
event a proposed Budget is rejected, the then existing Budget shall continue in effect until such time as a
subsequent Budget is proposed by the Board of Directors and is not rejected in accordance with the above
procedures. Only the Owners of each separate Subassociation will be entitled to vote to reject the
Subassociation Budget in accordance with this Section.
Section 6.04 Transfer Information. All Persons who acquire Lot(s) other than from
Declarant shall provide written notice of the transfer, together with all information required under the
Bylaws and/or the Rules and Regulations, to the Association within ten (10) days after the date of transfer.
Such Person shall also provide a true and correct copy of the recorded instrument conveying or transferring
the Lot or such other evidence of the conveyance or transfer as is reasonably acceptable to the Association.
The Association or Managing Agent shall have the right to charge the Person a reasonable administrative
fee for processing the transfer in the records of the Association.
Section 6.05 Declarant Control of the Association. There shall be a Period of Declarant
Control of the Association, during which Declarant, or Persons designated by Declarant, may appoint and
remove the officers of the Association and the members of the Board of Directors. The Period of Declarant
Control shall commence upon filing of the Articles of Incorporation and shall terminate no later than the
earlier of:
(a) sixty (60) days after conveyance of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Lots that
may be created to Owners other than a Declarant;
(b) two (2) years after Declarant's last conveyance of a Lot in the ordinary course of
business; or
(c) two (2) years after any right to add new Lots was last exercised.
Declarant may voluntarily surrender the right to appoint and remove officers and members of the Board of
Directors before the termination of the Period of Declarant Control, but in that event, Declarant may require,
for the duration of the Period of Declarant Control, that specified actions of the Association or Board of
Directors, as described in a recorded instrument executed by Declarant, be approved by Declarant before
they become effective.
Section 6.06 Required Election of Owners. Not later than sixty (60) days after
conveyance of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Lots that may be created by Declarant to Owners other
than Declarant, at least one (1) member and not fewer than twenty-five percent (25%) of the members of
the Board of Directors shall be elected by Owners other than Declarant. Not later than sixty (60) days after
conveyance of fifty percent (50%) of the Lots that may be created by Declarant to Owners other than
Declarant, not fewer than thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the members of the Board of
Directors must be elected by Owners other than Declarant. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing
restrictions on Declarant are not intended to restrict the Declarant, to the extent it then owns one or more
Lots, from voting or from running for the Board of Directors as a Lot Owner. Not later than the termination
of the Period of Declarant Control, the Owners shall elect all members of the Board of Directors, at least a
majority of whom shall be Owners other than Declarant or Designated Representatives of Owners other
than Declarant. In order to assure representation of each Subassociation in the affairs of the Association
and to protect the valid interests of the Owners within each Subassociation in the operation of the Project
following the termination of the Period of Declarant Control, the Owners within each Subassociation, to
the extent the same exists, shall be entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors shall elect the officers. The members of the Board of Directors and officers shall
take office upon election. Each member of the Board of Directors shall serve for the term specified in the
Bylaws and may be removed only in accordance with the Bylaws.
Section 6.07 Requirements for Turnover of Declarant Control. Within sixty (60) days
after the Owners other than Declarant elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, Declarant
shall deliver to the Association (a) all property of the Owners and of the Association held by or controlled
by Declarant.
Section 6.08 Subassociation Voting. All Subassociation issues shall be voted upon or
otherwise acted upon by the Owners in the applicable Subassociation at a regular or special meeting of the
Association or at such other special meeting of the Subassociation as may be called by the members of the
Board of Directors elected by such Subassociation.

Section 7.01 Association Management Duties. Subject to the rights and obligations of
Declarant and other Owners as set forth in this Declaration, the Association shall be responsible for the

(y) Exercise any other powers conferred by the Project Documents, the Act, or the
Nonprofit Act or that may otherwise be exercised by entities of the same type as the Association

Section 7.03 Actions by Board of Directors. Except as specifically otherwise provided
in this Declaration, the Bylaws or the Act, the Board of Directors may act in all instances on behalf of the
Association. In the avoidance of doubt, all Subassociation issues shall be voted on and acted upon by the
Owners in the applicable Subassociation, or by the member(s) on the Board of Directors elected by the
Owners within such Subassociation, in accordance with the Declaration, the Bylaws and the Act.
Section 7.04 Board of Directors Meetings. All meetings of the Board of Directors, at
which action is to be taken by vote, will be open to the Owners and Eligible First Mortgagees, and agendas
for meetings of the Board of Directors shall be made reasonably available for examination by all members
of the Association or their representatives and Eligible First Mortgagees, except as set forth in the Bylaws.
Section 7.05 Right to Notice and Hearing. Whenever the Project Documents require
that an action be taken after "notice and hearing," the following procedure shall be observed: The party
proposing to take the action (e.g., the Board of Directors, a committee, an officer, a Managing Agent, etc.)
shall give notice of the proposed action to all Owners and Eligible First Mortgagees whose interests the
proposing party reasonably determines would be significantly affected by the proposed action. The notice
shall be given not less than three (3) days before the proposed action is to be taken. The notice shall include
a general statement of the proposed action and the date, time and place of the hearing. At the hearing, the
affected Person shall have the right, personally or by a representative, to give testimony orally and/or in
writing, subject to reasonable rules of procedure established by the party conducting the hearing to assure
a prompt and orderly resolution of the issues. Such evidence shall be considered in making the decision
but shall not bind the decision makers. The affected Person shall be notified of the decision in the same
manner in which notice of the hearing was given. Any Owner or Eligible First Mortgagee having a right to
notice and hearing shall have the right to appeal to the Board of Directors from a decision of a proposing
party other than the Board of Directors by filing a written notice of appeal with the Board of Directors
within ten (10) days after being notified of the decision. The Board of Directors shall conduct a hearing
within forty-five (45) days, giving the same notice and observing the same procedures as were required for
the original hearing.
Section 7.06 Payments to Working Capital Account. In order to provide the
Association with adequate working capital funds, the Association may collect from purchasers, at the time
of the initial sale by Declarant of each Lot, an amount not to exceed three (3) months' worth of annual
Assessments based on the Association's Budget in effect at the time of the conveyance. Such payments to
this fund shall not be considered advance payments of annual Assessments.
ARTICLE VIII ASSESSMENTS
Section 8.01 Covenant of Personal Obligation for Assessments. Declarant, by creating
the Lots pursuant to this Declaration, and all other Owners, by acceptance of the Deed or other instrument
of transfer of such Owner's Lot (whether or not it shall be so expressed in such Deed or other instrument of
transfer), are deemed to personally covenant and agree with all other Owners and with the Association, and
hereby do so covenant and agree to pay to the Association the (a) annual Assessments, (b) special
Assessments, and (c) Default Assessments applicable to the Owner's Lot. No Owner may waive or
otherwise escape personal liability for the payment of the Assessments provided for in this Declaration by
not using the Common Elements or the facilities located on or in the Common Elements or by abandoning
or leasi.ng such Owner's Lot.
Section 8.02 Lien for Assessments; Assignment of Rents. All Assessments (including
installments of the Assessments) arising under the provisions of the Project Documents shall be burdens
running with, and a perpetual lien in favor of the Association upon, the specific Lot to which such
Assessments apply. To further evidence such lien upon a specific Lot, the Association may prepare a written
lien notice setting forth the description of the Lot, the amount of Assessments on the Lot unpaid as of the
date of such lien notice, the rate of default interest as set by the Rules and Regulations, the name of the
Owner or Owners, and any and all other information that the Association may deem proper. The lien notice
shall be signed by a member of the Board of Directors, an officer of the Association, or the Managing Agent
and shall be recorded in the Records. Any such lien notice shall not constitute a condition precedent or
delay the attachment of the lien, but such lien is a perpetual lien upon the Lot and attaches without notice
at the beginning of the first day of any period for which any Assessment is levied. Upon any default in the
payment of any Assessments, the Association shall also have the right to appoint a receiver to collect all
rents, profits, or other income from the Lot payable to the Owner and to apply all such rents, profits, and
income to the payment of delinquent Assessments. Each Owner, by ownership of a Lot, agrees to the
assignment of such rents, profits and income to the Association effective immediately upon any default in
the payment of annual, special, or Default Assessments.
Section 8.03 Annual Assessments. The Association shall levy annual Assessments to
pay for the Common Expense Liability allocated to each Lot pursuant to this Declaration. The total annual
Assessments shall be based upon the Budget. Any surplus funds of the Association remaining after payment
of or provision for Common Expenses and after any prepayment of or provision for reserves, as determined
by the Board of Directors, shall be refunded to the Owners in proportion to their Common Expense Liability
or credited to them to reduce their future Assessments for Common Expenses, as determined by the Board
of Directors in its discretion.
Section 8.04 Apportionment of Annual Assessments. The total annual Assessments
for any fiscal year of the Association shall be assessed to the Lots in proportion to their percentage of
Common Expense Liability as allocated pursuant to Section 4.02, subject to: (a) Common Expenses which
are separately metered or assessed to the Lots by third parties or pursuant to service agreements with third
parties; (b) General Common Expenses shall be assessed against each Lot as set forth on Exhibit B;
(c) Subassociation Common Expenses shall be assessed against each Lot within the relevant Subassociation
as set forth on Exhibit B; (d) Common Expenses associated with the operation, maintenance, repair or
replacement of Limited Common Elements, which shall be assessed equally or on such other equitable
basis as the Board of Directors shall determine to the Lots to which the specific Limited Common Elements
are appurtenant; (e) Common Expenses or portions thereof (including Subassociation Common Expenses)
benefiting fewer than all of the Lots which shall be assessed exclusively against the Lots benefited, and
Common Expenses or portions thereof which benefit certain Lots more than others which shall be
allocated in proportion to such benefit; (f) any increased cost of insurance based upon risk which shall
be assessed to Lots in proportion to the risk; (g) any Common Expense caused by the misconduct of any
Owner(s) or their Occupants, which may be assessed exclusively or on such other equitable basis as the
Board of Directors shall determine against such Owner(s); and (h) any expenses which are otherwise
charged equally to the Lots. All such allocations of Common Expense Liability to the Lots on a basis
other than the Lots' percentage of Common Expense Liability shall be determined by the Board of Directors,
by the members of the Board of Directors elected by the Owners of a Subassociation, as applicable.
Section 8.05 Special Assessments. In addition to the annual Assessments authorized
above, the Board of Directors may at any time and from time to time determine, levy, and assess in any
fiscal year a special Assessment applicable to that particular fiscal year (and for any such longer period as
the Board of Directors may determine) for the purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the unbudgeted
costs, fees, and expenses of any construction, reconstruction, repair, demolishing, replacement, renovation
or maintenance of the Project, specifically including any fixtures and personal property related to it and any
other unbudgeted or unanticipated costs of the Association. Any amounts determined, levied, and assessed
pursuant to this Declaration shall be assessed to the Lots pursuant to the provisions in Section 6.03, Section
8.02 and Section 8.03 above. In the avoidance of doubt, costs, fees and expenses for work on only Lots
within a Subassociation shall be borne only by such Owners. Costs, fees and expenses for work on only
Subassociation Common Elements shall be borne by the Owners within the Subassociation only in
accordance with their Allocated Interests for Subassociation Common Expenses.
Section 8.06 Due Dates for Assessment Payments. Unless otherwise determined by the
Board of Directors, the Assessments which are to be paid in installments shall be paid quarterly in advance
and shall be due and payable to the Association at its office or as the Board of Directors may otherwise
direct in any Management Agreement, without notice (except for the initial notice of any special
Assessment), on the date and in the installments determined by the Board of Directors, as set forth in the
Rules and Regulations. The Board of Directors may establish different installments for different types of
Lots or for Owners of multiple Lots of any type. If any such installment shall not be paid when due and
payable, then the Board of Directors may assess a late charge, default interest charges (not to exceed the
rate from time to time allowed by Section 38-33.3-315 of the Act or other Applicable Law), fee, or such
other charge as the Board of Directors may fix by rule from time to time to cover the extra expenses involved
in handling such delinquent Assessment installment. An Owner's Assessment shall be prorated if the
ownership of a Lot commences or terminates on a day other than the first day or last day, respectively, of
the applicable payment period. However, if the Common Expense Liability is re-allocated in accordance
with this Declaration, any installment(s) of an Assessment not yet due shall be recalculated to reflect the
re-allocated Common Expense Liability.
Section 8.07 Default Assessments. All Costs of Enforcement assessed against an
Owner pursuant to the Project Documents, any Fines, and any expense of the Association which is the
obligation of an Owner pursuant to the Project Documents and is not paid when due shall become a Default
Assessment assessed against the Owner's Lot.
Section 8.08 Remedies for Nonpayment of Assessments. If any Assessment (or any
installment of the Assessment) is not fully paid when due, then as often as the same may happen, default
interest, late charges, and Costs of Enforcement will accrue as set forth in the Rules and Regulations. In
addition, if any Assessment (or any installment of the Assessment) is not fully paid within thirty (30) days
after the same becomes due and payable, then as often as the same may happen, (a) the Association may
declare due and payable all unpaid installments of the annual Assessment or any special Assessment
otherwise due during the fiscal year during which such default occurred, (b) the Association may thereafter
bring an action at law or in equity, or both, against any Owner personally obligated to pay the same, (c) the
Association may proceed to foreclose its lien pursuant to the power of sale granted to the Association by
this Declaration or in the manner and form provided by Colorado law for foreclosure of real estate
mortgages, (d) the Association may suspend the Owner's right to vote in Association matters until the
Assessment is paid, and (e) the Association may pursue any other remedies available pursuant to the Project
Documents or Applicable Law. An action at law or in equity by the Association (or counterclaims or cross-
claims for such relief in any action) against an Owner to recover a money judgment for unpaid Assessments
(or any installment thereof) may be commenced and pursued by the Association without foreclosing or in
any way waiving the Association's lien for the Assessments. Foreclosure or attempted foreclosure by the
Association of its lien shall not be deemed to estop or otherwise preclude the Association from again
foreclosing or attempting to foreclose its lien for any subsequent Assessments (or installments thereof)
which are not fully paid when due or for any subsequent Default Assessments. The Association shall have
the power and right to bid in or purchase any Lot at foreclosure or other legal sale and to acquire and hold,
lease, mortgage, and to convey, or otherwise deal with the Lot acquired in such proceedings.
Section 8.09 Purchaser's Liability for Assessments. Notwithstanding the personal
obligation of each Owner to pay all Assessments on the Lot, and notwithstanding the Association's
perpetual lien upon a Lot for such Assessments, all purchasers of a Lot shall be liable with the prior
Owner(s) of such Lot for any and all unpaid Assessments against such Lot, without prejudice to any such
purchaser's right to recover from any prior Owner any amounts paid thereon by such purchaser. A
purchaser's obligation to pay Assessments shall commence upon the date the purchaser becomes the Owner.
For Assessment purposes, the date a purchaser becomes the Owner shall be determined as follows: (a) in
the event of a conveyance or transfer by foreclosure, the date a purchaser becomes the Owner shall be
deemed to be upon the expiration of all applicable redemption periods; (b) in the event of a conveyance or
transfer by deed in lieu of foreclosure a purchaser shall be deemed to become the Owner of the Lot upon
the execution and delivery of the deed or other instruments conveying or transferring title to the Lot,
irrespective of the date the deed is recorded; and (c) in the event of conveyance or transfer by Deed, a
purchaser shall be deemed to become the Owner upon the execution and delivery of the Deed or other
instruments conveying or transferring title of the Lot, irrespective of the date the Deed is recorded.
However, such purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon the existence and status of unpaid Assessments as
shown upon any certificate issued by or on behalf of the Association to such named purchaser pursuant to
the provisions of this Declaration.
Section 8.10 Waiver of Homestead Exemption; Subordination of Association's Lien for
Assessments. By acceptance of the Deed or other instrument of transfer of a Lot, each Owner irrevocably
waives the homestead exemption provided by Part 2, Article 41, Title 38, Colorado Revised Statutes, as
amended. The Association's perpetual lien on a Lot for Assessments shall be superior to all other liens and
encumbrances except the following:
(a) real property ad valorem taxes and special assessment liens duly imposed by a
Colorado governmental or political subdivision or special taxing Subassociation, or any other liens
made superior by statute;
(b) liens recorded prior to this Declaration unless otherwise agreed by the parties
thereto;
(c) the lien of any First Mortgagee except to the extent the Act grants priority for
Assessments to the Association.
Any First Mortgagee who acquires title to a Lot by virtue of foreclosing a First Mortgage or by virtue of a
Deed or assignment in lieu of such a foreclosure, or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale of the First
Mortgage, will take the Lot free of any claims for unpaid Assessments and Costs of Enforcement against
the Lot which accrue prior to the time such First Mortgagee acquires title to the Lot except to the extent the
amount of the extinguished lien may be reallocated and assessed to all Lots as a Common Expense and
except to the extent the Act grants lien priority for Assessments to the Association. All other Persons not
holding liens described in this Section and obtaining a lien or encumbrance on any Lot after the recording
of this Declaration shall be deemed to consent that any such lien or encumbrance shall be subordinate and
inferior to the Association's lien for Assessments and Costs of Enforcement as provided in this Article,
whether or not such consent is specifically set forth in the instrument creating any such lien or encumbrance.
The sale or other transfer of any Lot shall not affect the Association's lien on such Lot for Assessments due
and owing prior to the time such purchaser acquired title and shall not affect the personal liability of each
Owner who shall have been responsible for the payment thereof except (a) as provided above with respect
to First Mortgagees, (b) in the case of foreclosure of any lien enumerated in this Section, and (c) as provided
in the next Section. Further, no such sale or transfer shall relieve the purchaser of a Lot from liability for,
or the Lot from the lien of, any Assessments made after the sale or transfer.
Section 8.11 Statement of Status of Assessments. Within fourteen (14) calendar days
after receipt of written notice to the Managing Agent or, in the absence of a Managing Agent, to the Board
of Directors and payment of a reasonable fee set from time to time by the Board of Directors as set forth in
the Rules and Regulations, any Owner, holder of a Security Interest, prospective purchaser of a Lot or their
designees shall be furnished a statement of the Owner's account setting forth:
(a) the amount of any unpaid Assessments then existing against a particular Lot;
(b) the amount of the current installments of the annual Assessment and the date that
the next installment is due and payable;
(c) the date(s) for payment of any installments of any special Assessments outstanding
against the Lot; and
(d) any other information, deemed proper by the Association, including the amount of
any delinquent Assessments created or imposed under the terms of this Declaration.
Upon the issuance of such a certificate signed by a member of the Board of Directors, by an officer of the
Association, or by a Managing Agent, the information contained therein shall be conclusive upon the
Association as to the Person or Persons to whom such certificate is addressed and who rely on the certificate
in good faith.
Section 8.12 Liens. Except for Assessment liens as provided in this Declaration,
mechanics' liens (except as prohibited by this Declaration), tax liens, judgment liens and other liens validly
arising by operation of law, and liens arising under Security Interests, there shall be no other liens obtainable
against the Common Elements or against the interest of any Owner in the Common Elements (except a
Security Interest in the Common Elements that may be granted by the Association pursuant to the
requirements of the Act).
ARTICLE IX MECHANICS' LIENS
Section 9.01 Mechanics' Liens. Subsequent to recording of this Declaration and the
filing of the Map in the Records, no labor performed or materials furnished for use and incorporated in any
Lot with the consent of or at the request of the Owner or the Owner's agent, contractor or subcontractor,
shall be the basis for the filing of a lien against a Lot of any other Owner not expressly consenting to or
requesting the same, or against any interest in the Common Elements except as to the undivided interest
therein appurtenant to the Lot of the Owner for whom such labor shall have been performed or such
materials shall have been furnished. Each Owner shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the other
Owners and the Association from and against any liability or loss arising from the claim of any mechanics'
lien or for labor performed or for materials furnished in work on such Owner's Lot, against the Lot of
another Owner or against the Common Elements, or any part thereof.
Section 9.02 Enforcement by the Association. At its own initiative or upon the written
request of any Owner, if the Association determines that further action by the Association is proper, the
Association shall enforce the indemnity provided by the provisions of this ARTICLE XI by collecting from
the Owner of the Lot on which the labor was performed or materials furnished the amount necessary to
discharge by bond or othe1wise any such mechanics' lien, to pay all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees
incidental to the lien, and to obtain a release of such lien. If the Owner of the Lot on which the labor was
performed or materials furnished refuses or fails to indemnify within five (5) days after the Association
shall have given notice to such Owner of the total amount of the claim, then the failure to so indemnify
shall be a default by such Owner under the provisions of this ARTICLE XI, and such amount to be
indemnified shall automatically become a Default Assessment determined and levied against such Lot, and
enforceable by the Association pursuant to this Declaration.
ARTICLE X EASEMENTS
Section 10.01 Easement of Enjoyment; Common Elements. Every Owner shall have a
perpetual non-exclusive right and easement for the use and enjoyment of, and for access over, across, and
upon, any portion of the Common Elements designated for common use, which includes the benefit of a
non-exclusive easement of access over, across and upon the Common Elements for the purpose of access
to and from the Lot from public ways for both pedestrian and, where appropriate, vehicular travel, which
right and easement shall be appurtenant to and pass with the transfer of title to such Lot; provided, however,
that such right and easement shall be subject to the following:
(a) the covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, reservations, rights-of-way, and
other provisions contained in this Declaration, and the Map;
(b) the right of the Association from time to time to assign on an equitable basis
portions of the Common Elements such as parking spaces or storage for the exclusive use of the
Owner of a particular Lot by a resolution of the Board or other appropriate written instrument;
(c) the right of the Association to adopt, from time to time, Rules and Regulations
concerning vehicular traffic and travel upon, in, under, and across the Project;
(d) the right of the Association to adopt, from time to time, such Rules and Regulations
concerning the Project as the Association may determine are necessary or prudent for the
management, preservation, safety, control, orderly operation, or use of the Project for the benefit
of all Owners; and
(e) the agreement of all Owners, pursuant to this Declaration, to use reasonable and
good faith efforts not to interfere with the use and enjoyment of other Owners of the Common
Elements and such other Owners' respective Lots.
Section 10.02 Easement of Enjoyment; Limited Common Elements. Subject to the

Project Documents, the Owner's right of enjoyment in the Common Elements to an Occupant of the Owner's
Lot.
Section 10.05 Recorded Easements. The Property shall be subject to any easements as
shown on any recorded plat affecting the Property, as shown on the recorded Map, or as reserved or granted
under this Declaration. The recording data for recorded easements and licenses appurtenant to or included

herein by this reference.
Section 10.06 Easements for Encroachments. The Project, and all portions of it, is
subject to easements hereby created for encroachments between Lots and the Common Elements as follows:
(a) in favor of all Owners, so that they shall have no legal liability when any part of
the Common Elements encroaches upon a Lot;
(b) in favor of each Owner, so that the Owner shall have no legal liability when any
part of such Owner's Lot encroaches upon the Common Elements or upon another Lot; and
(c) in favor of all Owners, the Association, and the Owner of any encroaching Lot for
the maintenance and repair of such encroachments.
Encroachments referred to in this Section 10.06 include, but are not limited to, encroachments caused by
error or variance from the original plans in the construction of the Improvements or any Lot constructed on
the Property, by error in the Map, by settling, rising, or shifting of the earth, or by changes in position
caused by repair or reconstruction of any part of the Project. Such encroachments shall not be considered
to be encumbrances upon any part of the Project; provided, however, that encroachments created by the
intentional act of an Owner shall not be deemed to create an easement on the Property and shall be
considered an encroachment upon the Project. Such encroachment shall be removed at Owner's expense
immediately upon notice from the Association. In the event such encroachment is not timely removed, the
Association may effect removal of the encroachment and the expense thereof shall be a Default Assessment
to the Owner.
Section 10.07 Utility Easements. There is hereby created a general non-exclusive
easement upon, across, over, in, and under all of the Lots and Common Elements for the purpose of
installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance of all utilities and services for the Owners, including but
not limited to water, sewer, gas, telephone, electricity, security systems, cable television, cable, and other
communication systems, and for ingress and egress in connection therewith. By virtue of this easement, it
shall be expressly permissible and proper for the companies providing such utilities to erect and maintain
the necessary equipment on the Common Elements and to affix and maintain electrical, communications,
and telephone wires, circuits, and conduits under the Property. Any utility or service company using this
general easement shall (i) use its best efforts to install and maintain the utilities provided without disturbing
the uses of other utilities, the Owners, the Association, or Declarant; (ii) complete its installation and
maintenance activities as promptly as reasonably possible; and (iii) restore the surface to its original
condition as soon as possible after completion of its work. Should any utility or service company furnishing
a service covered by this general easement request a specific easement by separate recordable document,
Declarant and the Association (subject to Declarant's approval during the Period of Declarant Control),
shall each have the right and authority, but not the obligation, to grant such easement upon, across, over, or
under any part or all of the Property without conflicting with the terms hereof. The easements provided for
in this Section shall in no way void, extinguish, or modify any other recorded easement on the Property.

police, sheriff, fire protection, ambulance, and all other similar emergency agencies or Persons to enter
upon the Property in the proper performance of their duties.
Section 10.09 Maintenance Easement. An easement is hereby granted to the Association
and any Managing Agent and their respective officers, agents, employees and assigns upon, across, over,

necessary or appropriate to perform the duties and functions which they are obligated or permitted to
perform pursuant to this Declaration.
Section 10.10 Easements of Access for Repair, Maintenance, and Emergencies. Some of
the Common Elements are or may be located within the Lots or may be conveniently accessible only
through the Lots. The Owners and the Association shall have the irrevocable right, to be exercised by the
Association as the Owners' agent, to have access to each Lot and to all Common Elements from time to
time during such reasonable hours as may be necessary for the maintenance, repair, removal, or replacement
of any of the Common Elements therein or accessible therefrom or for making emergency repairs therein
necessary to prevent damage to the Common Elements or to any Lot. Unless caused by the negligent or
willful act or omission of an Owner or Occupant, damage to the interior of any part of a Lot resulting from
the maintenance, repair, emergency repair, removal, or replacement of any of the Common Elements or as
a result of emergency repair within another Lot at the instance of the Association or of the Owners shall be
a Common Expense. In order to effectuate this right, the Association shall retain a pass key or other access
device to each Lot and an Owner shall not change the exterior lock or other access system on its Lot without
the Board's prior written consent and providing the Association with a replacement key or access device to
accommodate the new lock or other access system.
Section 10.11 Easements Deemed Created. All conveyances of Lots hereafter made,
whether by Declarant or otherwise, shall be construed to grant and reserve the easements contained in this
ARTICLE X, even though no specific reference to such easements or to this ARTICLE X appears in the
instrument for such conveyance.
Section 10.12 Open Space. With respect to the areas designated as “Open Space” on
Map or any supplement thereto, title shall be conveyed to the Association upon recording of the Map or
any supplement thereto. Open Spaces shall thereafter be considered a General Common Element, and there
is hereby created, granted and reserved for the use and benefit of the Association, Owners, and the
Occupants of Lots, a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over, upon and across Open Spaces. Open Spaces
may be used and enjoyed for passive recreational purposes, and shall be improved and sustained by the
Association.
Section 10.13 Additional Easements. In the event an additional easement is reasonably
requested by an Owner or the Association for purposes consistent with the intent of this Declaration, each
Owner and the Association, as applicable, will act reasonably and in good faith in evaluating the request
and will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the granting of any such easement.

ARTICLE XII INSURANCE
Section 12.01 Coverage. Commencing not later than the first conveyance of a Lot to a
purchaser and to the extent reasonably available, the Association shall obtain and maintain insurance
coverage as set forth in this Article. The Association shall have the power and authority to obtain additional
policies or coverages not specified herein in the Board's discretion. If such insurance is not reasonably
available, or if any policy of such insurance is canceled or not renewed without a replacement policy, or if
the Board of Directors determines that any insurance described herein will not be maintained, the Board of
Directors shall promptly cause notice of that fact to be delivered to all Owners and Eligible First Mortgagees
at their respective last known addresses.
(a) Property Insurance. The Association shall maintain property insurance on the
Project for special form covered causes of loss (or such equivalent coverage as may hereafter be
customarily offered in the insurance industry) in an amount not less than the full insurable
replacement cost of the insured property (as determined by the Board of Directors) less applicable
deductibles at the time insurance is purchased and at each renewal date, exclusive of land and other
items normally excluded from property insurance policies. Co-insurance shall not be permitted.
(b) Liability Insurance. The Association shall maintain commercial general liability
insurance against claims and liabilities arising in connection with the ownership, existence, use, or
management of the Project, insuring the Board of Directors, the Association, the Managing Agent,
and their respective employees, agents and all Persons acting as agents therefor. The Declarant
shall be included as an additional named insured in Declarant's capacity as an Owner and member
of the Board of Directors. Owners shall be included as additional insureds but only for claims and
liabilities arising in connection with the ownership interest in, existence, use or management of the
Common Elements or membership in the Association. The insurance shall cover claims of one or
more insured parties against the other insured parties.
(c) Fidelity Insurance. The Association shall maintain fidelity insurance on all persons
who control or disburse funds of the Association. Coverage shall not be less in the aggregate than
two months' current annual Assessments plus reserves, as calculated from the current Budget of the
Association. Any person employed as an independent contractor by the Association, including the
Managing Agent, shall be an insured employee in the policy of fidelity insurance specified above.
(d) D&O Coverage. The Association shall maintain directors and officers coverage
for members of the Board of Directors and any other parties that the Board of Directors elects to
cover by such insurance, which may include, without limitation, the Managing Agent, committee
members, volunteers, and Declarant representatives.
(e) Other Insurance. The Board of Directors may also procure insurance against such
additional risks of a type normally carried with respect to properties of comparable character and
use that the Board of Directors deems reasonable and necessary in order to protect the Project, the
Association and the Owners.
(f) Owners' Policies. Each Owner of a Lot is encouraged to obtain additional insurance
at such Owner's own cost for such Owner's own benefit covering all personal property within such
Owner's Lot and all Improvements within the interior finished boundaries of such Owner's Lot. All
such policies shall contain waivers of subrogation and provide further that the liability of the
carriers issuing insurance to the Association hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by reason
of any such insurance carried by any Owner. Each Owner waives and releases all claims against
the Association to the extent such claim is covered by applicable insurance policies, regardless of
whether damage loss or injury arose from the negligence or breach of any agreement by the
Association. Each Owner acknowledges that insurance obtained by the Association does not
obviate the need for an Owner to obtain separate insurance for such Owner's benefit. Each Owner
may also obtain general liability insurance at such Owner's own cost for such Owner's own benefit
covering operations and activities within such Owner's Lot. Such coverage may also extend to
cover any legal liability imposed on an Owner due to such Owner's interest in the Common
Elements.
Section 12.02 Required Provisions. All insurance policies carried by the Association
pursuant to the requirements of this ARTICLE must provide that:
(a) each Owner and each Eligible First Mortgagee is an insured Person under the
policy with respect to liability arising out of such Owner's interest in the Common Elements or
membership in the Association;
(b) the insurer waives its rights to subrogation under the policy against any Owner or
member of an Owner's household;
(c) no act or omission by any Owner or Eligible First Mortgagee, unless acting within
the scope of such Owner's authority on behalf of the Association, if any, will void the policy or be
a condition to recovery under the policy;
(d) if, at the time of a loss under the policy, there is other insurance in the name of an
Owner covering the risks covered by the policy (other than an Owner's policy covering such
Owner's personal property), the Association's policy provides primary insurance;
(e) any loss covered by the policies must be adjusted with the Association;
(f) the insurance proceeds for any loss shall be payable to an insurance trustee
designated for that purpose, or otherwise to the Association and not to any holder of a Security
Interest;
(g) the insurer shall issue certificates or memoranda of insurance to the Association
and, upon request, to any Owner or holder of a Security Interest; and
(h) the insurer issuing the policy may not cancel or refuse to renew the policy until
thirty (30) days after notice of the proposed cancellation or non-renewal has been delivered to the
Association and any Owner(s) and holder(s) of Security Interests to whom a certificate or
memorandum of insurance has been issued at their respective last known addresses.
Section 12.03 Claims by Owner. An Owner may file a claim against the policy of the
Association to the same extent, and with the same effect, as if the Owner were a named insured if the
following conditions are met: (a) the Owner has contacted the Board of Directors or Managing Agent in
writing, and in accordance with any applicable association policies or procedures for owner-initiated
insurance claims, regarding the subject matter of the claim, (b) the Owner has given the Association at least
fifteen (15) days to respond in writing, and, if so requested, has given the Association's agent a reasonable
opportunity to inspect the damage; and (c) the subject matter of the claim falls within the Association's
insurance responsibilities. The Association's insurer, when determining premiums to be charged to the
Association, shall not take into account any request by an Owner for a clarification of coverage.
Section 12.04 Adjustment of Claims. The Association may adopt and establish written
nondiscriminatory policies and procedures relating to the submittal of claims, responsibility for deductibles,
and any other matters of claims adjustment. To the extent the Association settles a property insurance
claim, it shall have the authority to assess negligent Owners causing such loss or benefiting from such repair
or restoration all deductibles paid by the Association. In the event more than one Lot is damaged by a loss,
the Association, in its reasonable discretion, may assess each Owner a pro rata share of any deductible paid
by the Association.
Section 12.05 Copies of Policies. A copy of each insurance policy obtained by the
Association shall be made available for inspection by any Owner at reasonable times.
ARTICLE XIII RESTORATION UPON DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
Section 13.01 Duty to Restore. Any portion of the Project, for which the Association is
required to carry insurance under the Act, or for which insurance carried by the Association is in effect, that
is damaged or destroyed must be repaired or replaced promptly by the Association unless:
(a) the Project is terminated;
(b) repair or replacement would be illegal under Applicable Law or prohibited under
the Project Documents;
(c) sixty-seven percent (67%) of the actual Total Voting Power of the Owners vote
not to rebuild (unless a lesser percentage is required by Applicable Law and cannot be varied by
Agreement, in which case such lesser percentage shall apply but such lesser percentage shall be
required to include the vote not to rebuild of every Owner of a Lot or Limited Common Element
that will not be rebuilt; or
(d) prior to the conveyance of any Lot to a purchaser, the holder of a Security Interest
on the damaged portion of the Project rightfully demands all or a substantial part of the insurance
proceeds.
In the event the Project is not repaired or replaced as allowed by Subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, then
the Real Estate in the Project shall be sold and the proceeds distributed pursuant to the procedures provided
for in the Act for termination of condominium projects.
Section 13.02 Cost. The cost of repair or replacement in excess of insurance proceeds
and reserves is a Common Expense.
Section 13.03 Plans. The Property must be repaired and restored in accordance with
either the original plans and specifications or other plans and specifications which have been approved by
the Board of Directors and any percentage of Owners required to approve the same under the Act.
Section 13.04 Replacement of Less Than Entire Property. If only a portion of the Project
(rather than the entire Project) is repaired or replaced, the insurance proceeds attributable to the damaged
Common Elements shall be used to restore the damaged area to a condition compatible with the remainder
of the Project and any remaining proceeds (after any other distribution required by Applicable Law) shall
be distributed or credited as follows:
(a) the insurance proceeds attributable to a Lot and Limited Common Elements that
are not rebuilt must first be distributed or credited to the Owner(s) of the Lot and to the Owner(s)
of the Lot to which the Limited Common Elements were allocated, or to holders of Security
Interests, as their interests may appear;
(b) the remainder of the proceeds must be distributed or credited to each Owner or
holder of a Security Interest, as their interests may appear, in proportion to the Allocated Interests
in the Common Elements of all the Lots; and
(c) if the Owners vote not to rebuild a Lot, the Allocated Interests of the Lot shall be
reallocated as if the Lot had been condemned, and the Association promptly shall prepare, execute
and record an amendment to this Declaration reflecting the reallocation.
Section 13.05 Insurance Proceeds. The insurance trustee, or if there is no insurance
trustee, then the Board of Directors, acting by the President, shall hold any insurance proceeds in trust for
the Association, Owners and holders of Security Interests as their interest may appear. Subject to the
provisions of the Sections above, the proceeds shall be disbursed first for the repair or restoration of the
damaged Property, and the Association, Owners and holders of Security Interests are not entitled to receive
payment of any portion of the proceeds unless there is a surplus of proceeds after the Property has been
completely repaired or restored, or the Project is terminated, in which event the surplus proceeds will be
distributed as provided in this Declaration and the Act. Except to the extent otherwise required by the Act,
no provision of the Project Documents shall be construed to grant to any Owner, any priority over any rights
of any First Mortgagees pursuant to the terms of their Security Interests in the case of the distribution to
Owners of insurance proceeds for losses to Lots and/or the Common Elements or any portions thereof.
Section 13.06 Certificates by the Board of Directors. The insurance trustee, if any, may
rely on the following certifications in writing made by the Board of Directors:

(b) the amount or amounts to be paid for repairs or restoration and the names and
addresses of the parties to whom such amounts are to be paid.
Section 13.07 Certificates by Attorneys or Title Insurance Companies. If payments are
to be made to Owners or holders of Security Interests, the Board of Directors, and the insurance trustee, if
any, shall obtain and may rely on a title insurance company or attorney's ce1tificate of title or a title
insurance policy based on a search of the Records from the date of recording of this Declaration stating the
names of the Owners and the holders of Security Interest.

Revegetation notes
All areas disturbed during construction will be revegetated
according to the following criteria. During construction, erosion
which may pose a threat to surrounding properties or waterways
will be contained through the use of temporary erosion control
measures as deemed necessary.
Revegetation of disturbed areas shall commence in the fall, prior
to the first major snowfall, or early spring when site conditions
allow.
Erosion Control measures are aimed at controlling/confining
sediment within or near the area of disturbance. The long term
stability of these areas will depend on the establishment of
appropriate ground cover vegetation. The primary goal of the
revegetation effort is to protect water quality that will require a
sturdy ground cover as soon as possible.
All natural vegetation to remain shall be protected.
Exposure of soil to erosion by removal or disturbance of
vegetation shall be limited to the area required for immediate
construction operations and for the shortest practical period of
time.
All disturbed areas shall be seeded or covered with rip-rap. Use
Rivendell's Pitkin County seed mix.
All topsoil shall be salvaged from disturbed areas, stockpiled and
re-spread prior to revegetation. Topsoil should not be re-spread
on areas of the site proposed for future building.
Seed shall be drilled or otherwise mechanically incorporated into
the soil ("farmed") or shall be hydraulically applied and followed by
application of hydraulically applied mulch or straw. Straw mulch
shall be secured in place with a hydraulically applied tackifier.
If at any time the contractor or civil engineer sees the site being
unstable on the proposed slopes, erosion control mats will be
placed to help stabilize the ground.
Limit of Disturbance
Reseed all distrubed areas
See revegetation notes
If at any point the contractor
sees the site being unstable on
the proposed slopes, erosion control
mats will be placed to help stabilize
the ground.

Affordable Housing Plan
Hardwick Crossing PUD and Major Subdivision Preliminary Plan
Project Overview
The Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development proposes 28 residential dwelling units and is
subject to Article 8, Inclusionary Zoning for Housing, of the Garfield County Land Use and
Development Code. This Affordable Housing Plan is provided in accordance with Section 8-201
and describes compliance with all applicable requirements.
Required Affordable Housing Units
Pursuant to Section 8-301.A, developments of 15 or more units shall provide affordable housing
equal to 10 percent of total units. Based on 28 units, the requirement is 2.8 units, rounded up to 3
units.
The project will provide three deed-restricted affordable housing units in compliance with Article 8.
Affordable Housing Category Distribution
In accordance with Section 8-302.A.4.a, the required units shall be developed as follows:
One Category I unit, priced at 70 percent of Area Median Income and restricted to households
earning no more than 80 percent of Area Median Income
One Category II unit, priced at 90 percent of Area Median Income and restricted to households
earning no more than 100 percent of Area Median Income
One Category III unit, priced at 110 percent of Area Median Income and restricted to households
earning no more than 120 percent of Area Median Income
Unit Location, Design, and Integration
Affordable units shall be integrated within the development and shall not be distinguishable from
market-rate units in exterior appearance, materials, or overall design. Units shall meet applicable
minimum size, bedroom mix, and construction standards required by Article 8.
Unit locations shall be identified on the Final Plat.
Pricing and Affordability
Sales prices and, if applicable, rental rates shall be established by the Garfield County Housing
Authority based on Area Median Income, financing assumptions, and allowable housing costs.
Housing costs shall comply with Article 8 affordability standards.
Homeowner association dues, if applicable, shall be proportionate to those of market-rate units.
Deed Restrictions and Administration
All affordable housing units shall be subject to recorded deed restrictions approved by the Garfield
County Housing Authority prior to issuance of building permits. Deed restrictions shall run with the
land in perpetuity and govern occupancy, resale, rental (if applicable), and eligibility requirements.
Hardwick Crossing PUD & Major Subdivision Preliminary Plan Affordable Housing Plan
March 2026 Page 2
Administration, pricing, and qualification shall be coordinated through the Garfield County Housing
Authority.
Occupancy Requirements
Affordable units shall be occupied as a primary residence by qualified households meeting
applicable income limits and employment requirements consistent with Article 8.
Phasing
Per Article 8, Section 8-302.A.4.a, when three affordable housing units are required, the units must
be provided in the following order:
First unit: Category II
Second unit: Category III
Third unit: Category I
Affordable housing units shall be constructed in proportion to market-rate units and in accordance

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: GLENWOOD SPRINGS URBAN GROWTH AREA
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to create a PUD and Preliminary Plan on properties previously
subdivided as part of the Eastbank Minor Subdivision. Access to the PUD is proposed to be
shared with the Riverview School off County Road 154 just southeast of the intersection
with the RFTA Rio Grande Trail. The development is anticipated to be served by Roaring
Fork Water and Sanitation District (RFWSD) water and wastewater lines.
The initial concepts include 6 Lots. The PUD zoning on the parcels would establish a
Commercial Zone, with exiting commercial uses and proposed storage uses on two of the
lots in this zone. The residential component of the PUD may consist of 28 single family
homes located on two lots. The applicant has indicated that these homes will be utilized for
Hardwick Crossing Major Subdivision Preliminary Plan Application Garfield County, Colorado

workforce housing and be not for sale units. Article 8 shall be applicable for the proposed
PUD.
A Preliminary Plan Application is anticipated to be reviewed concurrently with the PUD
Application. Details on each of the PUD Zone Districts will need to be finalized to address
issues that may be identified. The submittals will benefit from providing as much detail on
the development plan as possible including building heights, lighting, visual impacts, access
and pedestrian circulation, design concepts, river setbacks/floodplain/restoration, and
open space/park proposals.
Traffic impacts were one of the most challenging issues in past reviews on this property and
should be thoroughly addressed through updated detailed traffic studies, analyses, and
recommendations for improvements. The internal roads system needs to accommodate the
highest traffic demand permitted within the PUD on the development parcels along with
impacts on and from the Riverview School use. The access points onto CR 154 and Highway
82 will need to be evaluated for necessary upgrades based on the traffic impact study.
An application for PUD Zoning shall meet the following criteria:
• Purpose and Applicability. The PUD meets the purpose and applicability of
this Code, as provided in section 6-101.A. and B.
• Development Standards. The PUD meets the Development Standards as
provided in section 6-401.
• Standards, Article 7. The PUD meets the standards within Article 7, Division
1, excluding 7-101. (See reference to Section 4-203.M regarding Water
Supply in Section 7-104)
• Rezoning Criteria. The PUD meets the Rezoning Review Criteria in section 4-
113.C.
• Established Zoning Standards. The PUD Plan adequately establishes uses and
standards governing the development, density, and intensity of land use by
means of dimensional or other standards. The Application needs to respond
directly to the Development Standards in Section 6-401 and to to the
Standards identified in Article 7, Division 3. Site Planning and Development
Standards.

An outline of typically submittal requirements for a PUD is found in the following section.
While a PUD is a zoning exercises, the application will need to provide a traffic study and
floodplain analysis as well. The PUD Plan covers a wide range of topics (including density
calculations, water, and wastewater services), and the applicant should carefully review
Section 6-302 of the LUDC to ensure the submittal fulfills its requirements. The impact
analysis will respond to the items found in Section 4-203.G.
The PUD process can be done in conjunction with a Preliminary Plan Process.
Garfield County’s PUD regulations maybe found in Article 6 of the Land Use and
Development Code (LUDC), which may be accessed here: https://www.garfield-
county.com/community-development/land-use-code/ Garfield County’s comprehensive
plan may be accessed here: https://www.garfield-county.com/community-
development/comprehensive-plan-2030/
Please see Glenwood Springs website for more information on their services and
comprehensive plan.
II. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030, 2020 Update includes a number of relevant
sections including extensive Policies and Strategies on Housing and for Growth of New
Major Residential Subdivisions. An important consideration for development on this key
parcel in an unincorporated area within an UGB, with access to central services is
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan strategies for
addressing housing issues include but are not limited to creating incentives for affordable
housing, work with HOA and PUD’s to create opportunity for more housing options within
the PUD’s, incentivize development of worforce housing, and explore the possibility of
public and private partnerships in the production of workforce housing. Sections on Growth
of New Major Residential Subdivisions include but are not limited to encouraging them to
be more self-sufficient with safe access and transit opportunities, upgrades to existing off-
site connections to county roads by the developer, review of fiscal costs/benefits to the
public, and provision of public amenities that meet the needs of residents.

CGS LAND USE REVIEWS
Geological studies are required by Colorado counties for all subdivisions of unincorpo-
rated land into parcels of less than 35 acres, under State statute C.R.S. 30-28-136 (1) (i)
(Senate Bill 35, 1972). Some Colorado municipalities require geological studies for sub-
division of incorporated land. In addition, local governments are empowered to regu-
late development activities in hazardous or mineral-resource areas under C.R.S. 24-65.1-
101 et seq. (House Bill 1041, 1974) and C.R.S. 34-1-301 et seq. (House Bill 1529, 1973),
respectively.
Local-government agencies submit proposed subdivision applications and supporting
technical reports to the Colorado Geological Survey ”...for evaluation of those geologic
factors which would have significant impact on the proposed use of the land,“ in accor-
dance with State statutes. The CGS reviews the submitted documents and serves as a
technical advisor to local-government planning agencies during the planning process.
Since 1984, the CGS has been required by law to recover the full direct cost of perform-
ing such reviews.
The adequate knowledge of a site’s geology is essential for any development project. It
is needed at the start of the project in order to plan, design, and construct a safe devel-
opment. Proper planning for geological conditions can help developers and future
owners/users reduce unnecessary maintenance and/or repair costs.

Re: Hardwick Crossing project
Dear Glenn,
We are writing this letter to you in accordance with the Pre-Application Conference
Summaries. This mineral owner research was done parcel number 218535415002. The
Garfield County Land Use and Development Code require an Applicant to provide notice to
mineral owners in accordance with C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101 “as such owners can be identified
through records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or Assessor, or through other means.”
GCLUDC 4-101(E)(4). Section 24-65.5-101 requires that an applicant notify a mineral estate
owner who either (1) is identified as such by the county tax assessor’s records; or (2) has filed
in the Clerk and Recorder a request for notification. If such records do not identify any
mineral estate owners, including their addresses of record, “the applicant shall be deemed to
have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to further obligations….” On February 18,
2026, we conducted the following tasks:
1. We researched the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder’s index of
mineral owner requests for notification per C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101 and confirmed that
no mineral owner for the properties referenced above has filed a request for
notification;
2. We reviewed an updated title commitment for the properties and
confirmed there are no mineral reservations listed in Schedule B(2); and
Hardwick Crossing Major Subdivision Preliminary Plan Application Garfield County, Colorado

3. We spoke with Casey at the Garfield County Assessor’s office. The
Assessor’s office noted that their office is not actively valuing/tracking any severed
mineral interests in that area.
This satisfies our obligations under Colorado law and the County’s Code. We look forward to
working through this application with your office.
Best regards,
JVAM PLLC

4-203.B - Project Description
The Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a mixed-use neighborhood
proposed on property located along the Colorado River corridor in Garfield County,
Colorado. The intent of the project is to create a small-scale residential and commercial
development that is compatible with surrounding land uses while implementing the goals
and policies of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan. The project has been designed to
complement the existing development pattern in the area and provide a transition between
existing residential uses and nearby commercial and institutional uses.
The proposed PUD consists of approximately 28 single-family residential lots, several
commercial lots, and a limited amount of mixed residential/commercial development
intended to support small-scale neighborhood and business park uses. In addition to the
residential lots, the plan includes four commercial parcels (Lots C1–C4). Two of these
parcels contain existing commercial uses, while the remaining parcels are intended for
future commercial development such as small business spaces, storage uses, or similar
low-intensity commercial activities. Limited residential units associated with these
commercial lots may also be developed to support caretaker or owner-occupied uses.
The layout of the development has been designed to respond to the physical
characteristics of the property and the surrounding landscape. Residential lots are
clustered to create an efficient pattern of development while maintaining open areas and
preserving the natural character of the site adjacent to the Roaring Fork River. Internal
roads, utility corridors, and building envelopes have been arranged to minimize
disturbance while providing functional access for residents, businesses, and emergency
services.
Environmental considerations have been an important component of the project design.
The site contains discontinuous native vegetation typical of the Colorado River corridor,
and disturbed areas will be revegetated with a mix of grasses, groundcovers, shrubs, and
trees to stabilize soils and prevent the establishment of noxious weeds. Landscaping will
incorporate native and drought-tolerant plant species where appropriate, while allowing
limited ornamental plantings in developed areas to enhance the character of the
neighborhood. The project also incorporates wildfire-aware design consistent with the
site’s low-to-moderate wildfire risk rating identified in the 2012 Colorado Wildfire Risk
Assessment.
Infrastructure necessary to serve the development has been evaluated through
engineering studies prepared as part of the application. Water service in the area has been
designed to accommodate fire protection demands, including infrastructure associated
with the nearby Riverview School waterline extension, which provides a minimum capacity
of 2,000 gallons per minute for fire protection. Additional infrastructure planning, including
utilities, drainage, and access improvements, is documented in the Impact Analysis and
Utility Report and Drainage Report prepared by High Country Engineering, Inc.
Hardwick Crossing Major Subdivision Preliminary Plan Application Garfield County, Colorado
30
The project has also been evaluated for potential environmental and geotechnical
constraints. A Preliminary Subsoil Study prepared by Kumar & Associates and provides
analysis of site conditions and recommendations for development within areas potentially
affected by natural hazards. In addition, a Wildlife Impact Report prepared by Colorado
Wildlife Science, LLC evaluates wildlife resources and provides recommendations for
minimizing potential impacts to habitat and wildlife movement in the area.
The name “Hardwick Crossing” reflects the history of the area and honors the Hardwick
family, who settled near the Roaring Fork River in the late 1800s. In 1890, Garfield County
established a bridge crossing near the Hardwick Ranch to connect roads on both sides of
the river by relocating Glenwood Springs’ former Cooper Avenue Bridge to the site. Known
as the Hardwick Bridge, this crossing became an important transportation link for the
surrounding community. The project name recognizes this historic crossing and the role
the Hardwick family played in the early development of the area.
Overall, the Hardwick Crossing PUD is intended to create a well-planned mixed-use
development that integrates residential and commercial uses in a manner that
complements the surrounding community. The project provides opportunities for housing,
small-scale business uses, and neighborhood-serving facilities while incorporating
appropriate environmental mitigation measures and infrastructure planning. Through its
design and proposed development standards, the PUD establishes a framework for orderly
development that is compatible with adjacent land uses and consistent with the goals and
policies of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan.

7-109. Fire Protection
Per the 2012 Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment, the Hardwick Crossing site has a low to
moderate fire intensity rating, which is consistent with the fuel types and discontinuous
vegetation patterns observed on the property. Fire protection infrastructure has also been
considered in the area. Fire demand requirements were previously established during the
design and construction of the waterline extension serving the adjoining Riverview School,
which provides a minimum capacity of 2,000 gallons per minute (GPM). All proposed
structures within the development would be required to operate within these parameters
for on-site fire protection. Fire protection services for the area are provided by the
Glenwood Springs Fire Protection District.
To further reduce wildfire risk, the project proposes the implementation of defensible
space, vegetation management, and fire-resistant building construction consistent with
the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code. These measures include Class-A roofing materials,
ignition-resistant exterior construction, protected vents and eaves, and tempered glazing.
Defensible space should be maintained around structures through a three-zone approach
that removes combustible materials within five feet of buildings, thins vegetation and
eliminates ladder fuels within 30 feet, and reduces fuel density within 100 feet of
structures. Additional measures include thinning vegetation along access roads, managing
landscaping to limit flammable species, maintaining fire hydrant access and water supply,
and ongoing removal of combustible debris and fuels. Collectively, these strategies
substantially reduce the likelihood of structural ignition and improve firefighter access and
suppression capability within the development area.

TYPE OF APPLICATION: PUD AND PRELIMINARY PLAN
ZONING: RURAL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: GLENWOOD SPRINGS URBAN GROWTH AREA
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requesting to create a PUD and Preliminary Plan on properties previously
subdivided as part of the Eastbank Minor Subdivision. Access to the PUD is proposed to be
shared with the Riverview School off County Road 154 just southeast of the intersection
with the RFTA Rio Grande Trail. The development is anticipated to be served by Roaring
Fork Water and Sanitation District (RFWSD) water and wastewater lines.
The initial concepts include 6 Lots. The PUD zoning on the parcels would establish a
Commercial Zone, with exiting commercial uses and proposed storage uses on two of the
lots in this zone. The residential component of the PUD may consist of 28 single family
homes located on two lots. The applicant has indicated that these homes will be utilized for
Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado
6
2
workforce housing and be not for sale units. Article 8 shall be applicable for the proposed
PUD.
A Preliminary Plan Application is anticipated to be reviewed concurrently with the PUD
Application. Details on each of the PUD Zone Districts will need to be finalized to address
issues that may be identified. The submittals will benefit from providing as much detail on
the development plan as possible including building heights, lighting, visual impacts, access
and pedestrian circulation, design concepts, river setbacks/floodplain/restoration, and
open space/park proposals.
Traffic impacts were one of the most challenging issues in past reviews on this property and
should be thoroughly addressed through updated detailed traffic studies, analyses, and
recommendations for improvements. The internal roads system needs to accommodate the
highest traffic demand permitted within the PUD on the development parcels along with
impacts on and from the Riverview School use. The access points onto CR 154 and Highway
82 will need to be evaluated for necessary upgrades based on the traffic impact study.
An application for PUD Zoning shall meet the following criteria:
• Purpose and Applicability. The PUD meets the purpose and applicability of
this Code, as provided in section 6-101.A. and B.
• Development Standards. The PUD meets the Development Standards as
provided in section 6-401.
• Standards, Article 7. The PUD meets the standards within Article 7, Division
1, excluding 7-101. (See reference to Section 4-203.M regarding Water
Supply in Section 7-104)
• Rezoning Criteria. The PUD meets the Rezoning Review Criteria in section 4-
113.C.
• Established Zoning Standards. The PUD Plan adequately establishes uses and
standards governing the development, density, and intensity of land use by
means of dimensional or other standards. The Application needs to respond
directly to the Development Standards in Section 6-401 and to to the
Standards identified in Article 7, Division 3. Site Planning and Development
Standards.
Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado

An outline of typically submittal requirements for a PUD is found in the following section.
While a PUD is a zoning exercises, the application will need to provide a traffic study and
floodplain analysis as well. The PUD Plan covers a wide range of topics (including density
calculations, water, and wastewater services), and the applicant should carefully review
Section 6-302 of the LUDC to ensure the submittal fulfills its requirements. The impact
analysis will respond to the items found in Section 4-203.G.
The PUD process can be done in conjunction with a Preliminary Plan Process.
Garfield County’s PUD regulations maybe found in Article 6 of the Land Use and
Development Code (LUDC), which may be accessed here: https://www.garfield-
county.com/community-development/land-use-code/ Garfield County’s comprehensive
plan may be accessed here: https://www.garfield-county.com/community-
development/comprehensive-plan-2030/
Please see Glenwood Springs website for more information on their services and
comprehensive plan.
II. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030, 2020 Update includes a number of relevant
sections including extensive Policies and Strategies on Housing and for Growth of New
Major Residential Subdivisions. An important consideration for development on this key
parcel in an unincorporated area within an UGB, with access to central services is
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan strategies for
addressing housing issues include but are not limited to creating incentives for affordable
housing, work with HOA and PUD’s to create opportunity for more housing options within
the PUD’s, incentivize development of worforce housing, and explore the possibility of
public and private partnerships in the production of workforce housing. Sections on Growth
of New Major Residential Subdivisions include but are not limited to encouraging them to
be more self-sufficient with safe access and transit opportunities, upgrades to existing off-
site connections to county roads by the developer, review of fiscal costs/benefits to the
public, and provision of public amenities that meet the needs of residents.

CGS LAND USE REVIEWS
Geological studies are required by Colorado counties for all subdivisions of unincorpo-
rated land into parcels of less than 35 acres, under State statute C.R.S. 30-28-136 (1) (i)
(Senate Bill 35, 1972). Some Colorado municipalities require geological studies for sub-
division of incorporated land. In addition, local governments are empowered to regu-
late development activities in hazardous or mineral-resource areas under C.R.S. 24-65.1-
101 et seq. (House Bill 1041, 1974) and C.R.S. 34-1-301 et seq. (House Bill 1529, 1973),
respectively.
Local-government agencies submit proposed subdivision applications and supporting
technical reports to the Colorado Geological Survey ”...for evaluation of those geologic
factors which would have significant impact on the proposed use of the land,“ in accor-
dance with State statutes. The CGS reviews the submitted documents and serves as a
technical advisor to local-government planning agencies during the planning process.
Since 1984, the CGS has been required by law to recover the full direct cost of perform-
ing such reviews.
The adequate knowledge of a site’s geology is essential for any development project. It
is needed at the start of the project in order to plan, design, and construct a safe devel-
opment. Proper planning for geological conditions can help developers and future
owners/users reduce unnecessary maintenance and/or repair costs.

Re: Hardwick Crossing project
Dear Glenn,
We are writing this letter to you in accordance with the Pre-Application Conference
Summaries. This mineral owner research was done parcel number 218535415002. The
Garfield County Land Use and Development Code require an Applicant to provide notice to
mineral owners in accordance with C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101 “as such owners can be identified
through records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or Assessor, or through other means.”
GCLUDC 4-101(E)(4). Section 24-65.5-101 requires that an applicant notify a mineral estate
owner who either (1) is identified as such by the county tax assessor’s records; or (2) has filed
in the Clerk and Recorder a request for notification. If such records do not identify any
mineral estate owners, including their addresses of record, “the applicant shall be deemed to
have acted in good faith and shall not be subject to further obligations….” On February 18,
2026, we conducted the following tasks:
1. We researched the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder’s index of
mineral owner requests for notification per C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101 and confirmed that
no mineral owner for the properties referenced above has filed a request for
notification;
2. We reviewed an updated title commitment for the properties and
confirmed there are no mineral reservations listed in Schedule B(2); and
Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado

3. We spoke with Casey at the Garfield County Assessor’s office. The
Assessor’s office noted that their office is not actively valuing/tracking any severed
mineral interests in that area.
This satisfies our obligations under Colorado law and the County’s Code. We look forward to
working through this application with your office.
Best regards,
JVAM PLLC

4-203.B - Project Description
The Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a mixed-use neighborhood
proposed on property located along the Colorado River corridor in Garfield County,
Colorado. The intent of the project is to create a small-scale residential and commercial
development that is compatible with surrounding land uses while implementing the
goals and policies of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan. The project has been
designed to complement the existing development pattern in the area and provide a
transition between existing residential uses and nearby commercial and institutional
uses.
The proposed PUD consists of approximately 28 single-family residential lots, several
commercial lots, and a limited amount of mixed residential/commercial development
intended to support small-scale neighborhood and business park uses. In addition to the
residential lots, the plan includes four commercial parcels (Lots C1–C4). Two of these
parcels contain existing commercial uses, while the remaining parcels are intended for
future commercial development such as small business spaces, storage uses, or similar
low-intensity commercial activities. Limited residential units associated with these
commercial lots may also be developed to support caretaker or owner-occupied uses.
The layout of the development has been designed to respond to the physical
characteristics of the property and the surrounding landscape. Residential lots are
clustered to create an efficient pattern of development while maintaining open areas
and preserving the natural character of the site adjacent to the Roaring Fork River.
Internal roads, utility corridors, and building envelopes have been arranged to minimize
disturbance while providing functional access for residents, businesses, and emergency
services.
Environmental considerations have been an important component of the project design.
The site contains discontinuous native vegetation typical of the Colorado River corridor,
and disturbed areas will be revegetated with a mix of grasses, groundcovers, shrubs,
and trees to stabilize soils and prevent the establishment of noxious weeds.
Landscaping will incorporate native and drought-tolerant plant species where
appropriate, while allowing limited ornamental plantings in developed areas to enhance
the character of the neighborhood. The project also incorporates wildfire-aware design
consistent with the site’s low-to-moderate wildfire risk rating identified in the 2012
Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment.
Infrastructure necessary to serve the development has been evaluated through
engineering studies prepared as part of the application. Water service in the area has
been designed to accommodate fire protection demands, including infrastructure
associated with the nearby Riverview School waterline extension, which provides a
minimum capacity of 2,000 gallons per minute for fire protection. Additional
infrastructure planning, including utilities, drainage, and access improvements, is
documented in the Impact Analysis and Utility Report and Drainage Report prepared by
High Country Engineering, Inc.
Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado
27
The project has also been evaluated for potential environmental and geotechnical
constraints. A Preliminary Subsoil Study prepared by Kumar & Associates provides an
analysis of site conditions and recommendations for development within areas
potentially affected by natural hazards. In addition, a Wildlife Impact Report prepared by
Colorado Wildlife Science, LLC evaluates wildlife resources and provides
recommendations for minimizing potential impacts to habitat and wildlife movement in
the area.
The name “Hardwick Crossing” reflects the history of the area and honors the Hardwick
family, who settled near the Roaring Fork River in the late 1800s. In 1890, Garfield
County established a bridge crossing near the Hardwick Ranch to connect roads on
both sides of the river by relocating Glenwood Springs’ former Cooper Avenue Bridge to
the site. Known as the Hardwick Bridge, this crossing became an important
transportation link for the surrounding community. The project name recognizes this
historic crossing and the role the Hardwick family played in the early development of the
area.
Overall, the Hardwick Crossing PUD is intended to create a well-planned mixed-use
development that integrates residential and commercial uses in a manner that
complements the surrounding community. The project provides opportunities for
housing, small-scale business uses, and neighborhood-serving facilities while
incorporating appropriate environmental mitigation measures and infrastructure
planning. Through its design and proposed development standards, the PUD
establishes a framework for orderly development that is compatible with adjacent land
uses and consistent with the goals and policies of the Garfield County Comprehensive
Plan.

High Country Engineering, Inc., also attached as an Exhibit to this Application.
7-109. Fire Protection
Per the 2012 Colorado Wildfire Risk Assessment, the Hardwick Crossing site has a low
to moderate fire intensity rating, which is consistent with the fuel types and
discontinuous vegetation patterns observed on the property. Fire protection
infrastructure has also been considered in the area. Fire demand requirements were
previously established during the design and construction of the waterline extension
serving the adjoining Riverview School, which provides a minimum capacity of 2,000
gallons per minute (GPM). All proposed structures within the development would be
required to operate within these parameters for on-site fire protection. Fire protection
services for the area are provided by the Glenwood Springs Fire Protection District.
To further reduce wildfire risk, the project proposes the implementation of defensible
space, vegetation management, and fire-resistant building construction consistent with
the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code. These measures include Class-A roofing
materials, ignition-resistant exterior construction, protected vents and eaves, and
tempered glazing. Defensible space should be maintained around structures through a
three-zone approach that removes combustible materials within five feet of buildings,
thins vegetation and eliminates ladder fuels within 30 feet, and reduces fuel density
within 100 feet of structures. Additional measures include thinning vegetation along
Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado
37
access roads, managing landscaping to limit flammable species, maintaining fire
hydrant access and water supply, and ongoing removal of combustible debris and fuels.
Collectively, these strategies substantially reduce the likelihood of structural ignition and
improve firefighter access and suppression capability within the development area.
Division 3 Site Planning and Development Standards
7-301. Compatible Design

intended to complement the adjacent land uses. General conformance with the Garfield
County 2030 Comprehensive Plan has been addressed by JVAM and is included as an
Exhibit to this Application.
7-302. Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards
Off-street parking and loading requirements and design standards are established in the
Hardwick Crossing PUD Guide and will govern parking and loading for all uses within
the PUD.
Hardwick Crossing Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado
38
7-303. Landscape Standards
All disturbed areas of the Hardwick Crossing project will be revegetated with a mix of
grasses, groundcovers, trees, and shrubs to stabilize soils, prevent erosion, and limit
the spread of noxious weeds. Where appropriate, xeriscape landscape design
incorporating native plant species will be used to blend with the surrounding native
habitat and reduce long-term irrigation demands. Non-native or ornamental plant
materials may be incorporated in limited areas of the project as landscape accents near
buildings, entrances, or common areas.
Riparian plantings may be utilized in areas adjacent to the Roaring Fork River and along
drainageways to support habitat values and stabilize streamside areas. All plant
materials will be healthy nursery stock and installed in accordance with the plant sizes
established in the Garfield County Landscaping Standards.
A Conceptual Landscape Plan illustrating the proposed landscape approach, plant
types, and general planting locations is included as an Exhibit to this application.
7-304. Lighting Standards
All exterior lighting within the development will utilize downlighting and will be designed
to comply with the Garfield County Land Use and Development Code lighting standards
to minimize glare, reduce light spill onto adjacent properties, and maintain dark-sky
conditions to the extent practicable.
7-305. Snow Storage Standards
Garfield County Snow Storage Standards including minimum area, appropriate location,
and drainage are illustrated on High Country Engineering Plans included as an Exhibit

ii. If the BOCC chooses to inspect and determines that all or a portion of
the Subdivision Improvements certified as complete are not in compliance with the
relevant specifications, the BOCC shall furnish a letter of potential deficiency to the
Owner, within fifteen (15) business days of submission of Owner’s Written Request
for Partial Release of LOC, accompanied by Owner’s Engineer’s certificate of partial
completion of improvements.
iii. If a letter of potential deficiency is issued identifying a portion of the
certified Subdivision Improvements as potentially deficient, then all Subdivision
Improvements not identified as potentially deficient shall be deemed approved by the
BOCC, and the BOCC shall authorize release of the amount of security related to the
Subdivision Improvements certified as complete and not identified as potentially
deficient.
iv. With respect to Subdivision Improvements identified as potentially
deficient in a letter of potential deficiency, the BOCC shall have thirty (30) days
from the date of the letter to complete the initial investigation, begun under
subparagraph 3.f.ii., above, and provide written confirmation of the deficiency(ies) to
the Owner.
v. If the BOCC finds that the Subdivision Improvements are complete,
in compliance with the relevant specifications, then the appropriate amount of
security shall be authorized for release within ten (10) business days after completion
of such investigation.
g. BOCC Completion of Improvements and Other Remedies. If the BOCC
finds, within the thirty (30) day period of time defined in subparagraph 3.f.iv. above, that the
2908211.3 9
Subdivision Improvements are not complete, or if the BOCC determines that the Owner will
not or cannot construct any or all of the Subdivision Improvements, whether or not Owner
has submitted a written request for release of LOC, the BOCC may withdraw and employ
from the LOC such funds as may be necessary to construct the Subdivision Improvements in
accordance with the specifications, up to the face amount or remaining face amount of the
applicable LOC. In such event, the BOCC shall make a written finding regarding Owner’s
failure to comply with this SIA prior to requesting payment from the LOC in accordance
with the LUDC. In lieu of or in addition to drawing on the LOC, the BOCC may bring an
action for injunctive relief or damages for the Owner’s failure to adhere to the provisions of
this SIA regarding Subdivision Improvements. The BOCC shall provide the Owner a
reasonable time to cure any identified deficiency(ies) prior to requesting payment from the
LOC or filing a civil action.
h. Final Release of Security. Upon completion of each phased Subdivision
Improvements, and including off-site improvements, Owner shall submit to the BOCC,
through the Building and Planning Department: 1) record drawings bearing the stamp of
Owner’s Engineer certifying that all relevant Subdivision Improvements for the completed
phase, including off-site improvements, have been constructed in accordance with the
requirements of this SIA, including all Final Plat Documents and the Final Plat Approval, in
hard copy and digital format acceptable to the BOCC; 2) copies of instruments conveying

disturbed areas within each Phase (“Revegetation LOC”), the cost for which is detailed as a
subdivision improvement in Exhibit B. The Revegetation LOC shall be valid for a minimum
of two (2) years following the final phase’s Completion Date. The BOCC, at its sole option
may permit the Owner to substitute collateral other than a Letter of Credit, in a form
acceptable to the BOCC, for the purpose of securing the completion of revegetation.
b. Revegetation LOC General Provisions. The provisions of paragraphs 3.b.,
3.c. and 3.d., above, dealing with Letter of Credit requirements, extension of expiration
dates, increase in face amounts, plat recording, and plat vacating shall apply to the
Revegetation LOC.
c. Revegetation Review and Notice of Deficiency. Upon establishment of
revegetation, the Owner shall request review of the revegetation work by the Garfield
County Vegetation Management Department, by telephone or in writing. Such review shall
be for the purpose of verification of success of revegetation and reclamation in accordance
with the Garfield County Weed Management Plan 2000, adopted by Resolution No. 2002-94
and recorded in the Office of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder as Reception No.
580572, as amended, and the revegetation/reclamation plan titled _____________ and dated
_________________ for the Subdivision submitted as part of the Final Plat Documents. If
the Vegetation Management Department refuses approval and provides written notice of
deficiency(ies), the Owner shall cure such deficiency(ies) by further revegetation efforts,
approved by the Vegetation Management Department, as such efforts may be instituted
within the two (2) years following the final phase’s Completion Date, as applicable.
d. Single Request for Release of Revegetation LOC. Following receipt of
2908211.3 12
written approval of the Vegetation Management Department, the Owner may request release
of the Revegetation LOC and shall do so by means of submission to the BOCC, through the
Building and Planning Department, of a Written Request for Release of Revegetation LOC,
in the form attached to and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit E, along with
certification of completion by the Owner, or Owner’s agent with knowledge, and a copy of
the written approval of the Vegetation Management Department. It is specifically understood
by the parties that the Revegetation LOC is not subject to successive partial releases, as
authorized in paragraph 3.e., above. Further, the Revegetation LOC and the BOCC’s
associated rights to withdraw funds and bring a court action may survive final release of the
LOC securing other Subdivision Improvements, defined in paragraph 3.a., above.
e. BOCC’s Completion of Revegetation and Other Remedies. If Owner’s
revegetation efforts are deemed by the BOCC to be unsuccessful, in the sole opinion of the
BOCC upon the recommendation of the Vegetation Management Department, or if the
BOCC determines that the Owner will not or cannot complete revegetation, the BOCC, in its
discretion, may withdraw and employ from the Revegetation LOC such funds as may be
necessary to carry out the revegetation work, up to the face amount of the Revegetation
LOC. In lieu of or in addition to drawing on the Revegetation LOC, the BOCC may bring an
action for injunctive relief or damages for the Owner’s failure to adhere to the provisions of
this SIA related to revegetation. The BOCC shall provide the Owner a reasonable time to
cure any identified deficiency prior to requesting payment from the Revegetation LOC or
filing a civil action.
5. WATER SUPPLY AND WASTEWATER COLLECTION. As stated in
paragraph 13, below, prior to issuance by the BOCC of any certificates of occupancy for any
2908211.3 13
residences or other habitable structures constructed within the Subdivision, Owner shall install,
connect, and make operable a water supply and distribution system for potable water, fire protection,
non-potable irrigation water, and a wastewater/sewer collection system in accordance with approved
plans and specifications. All easements and rights-of-way necessary for installation, operation,
service and maintenance of such water supply and distribution system(s) and wastewater collection
system shall be as shown on the Final Plat. Owner shall deposit with the Garfield County Clerk and
Recorder executed originals of the instruments of conveyance for easements appurtenant to the water
and wastewater system(s), for recordation following recording of the Final Plat and this SIA, unless
such easements are established on the Final Plat. All facilities and equipment contained within the
water supply and wastewater collection system(s) shall be transferred by Owner to the applicable
special district or municipality by bill of sale. If a third-party water or sewer service entity requires
warranty of the system(s), Owner shall provide proof to the BOCC that such warranty is in effect
and, if necessary, has been assigned.
6. ROADS. Pursuant to the Final Plat Approvals, all roads within the Subdivision shall
be private and privately owned and maintained. Owner shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance, repair, and upkeep of said rights-of-way, including the traveled surface of the
roadways and portions of the rights-of-way outside of the traveled surface. The BOCC shall not be
obligated to maintain any road rights-of-way within the Subdivision.
7. PUBLIC UTILITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY. Whether or not utility easements exist
elsewhere in the Subdivision, all road rights-of-way within the Subdivision shall contain rights-of-
way for installation and maintenance of utilities. Public utility easements shall be dedicated by the
Owner to the public utilities on the face of the Final Plat, subject to the Garfield County Road and
Right-of-Way Use Regulations, recorded as Reception No. 643477, in the records of the Garfield
2908211.3 14
County Clerk and Recorder, as amended. Owner shall be solely responsible for the maintenance,
repair and upkeep of said public utility easements, unless otherwise agreed to with the public utility
company(ies). The BOCC shall not be obligated for the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of any
utility easement within the Subdivision. In the event a utility company, whether publicly or privately
owned, requires conveyance of the easements dedicated on the face of the Final Plat by separate
document, Owner shall execute and record the required conveyance documents.
8. INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
9. INDEMNITY. The Owner shall indemnify and hold the BOCC harmless and defend
the BOCC from all claims which may arise as a result of the Owner’s installation of the Subdivision
Improvements, including off-site improvements and revegetation, and any other agreement or
obligation of Owner, related to development of the Subdivision, required pursuant to this SIA. The
Owner, however, does not indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards
imposed by the BOCC are improper or the cause of the injury asserted, or from claims which may
arise from the negligent acts or omissions of the BOCC or its employees. The BOCC shall notify
the Owner of receipt by the BOCC of a notice of claim or a notice of intent to sue, and the BOCC
shall afford the Owner the option of defending any such claim or action. Failure to notify and
provide such written option to the Owner shall extinguish the BOCC’s rights under this paragraph.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to constitute a waiver of governmental immunity
granted to the BOCC by Colorado statutes and case law.
10. ROAD IMPACT FEE. Pursuant to the Garfield County subdivision regulations, the
following Road Impact Fees apply within the Subdivision: $___________ per residential unit. The
Road Impact Fee will be collected at the time a building permit issues for a structure within the
Subdivision.
2908211.3 15
11. FEES IN LIEU OF DEDICATION OF SCHOOL LAND. Owner shall make a
cash deposit in lieu of dedicating land to the RE-1 School District, calculated in accordance with the
LUDC and the requirements of state law. The Owner and the BOCC acknowledge and agree that the
cash in lieu payment for the Subdivision is calculated as follows:
Unimproved per acre market value of land, based upon an appraisal submitted to the
BOCC by Owner, i.e. $_________________; and
Land dedication standard: 21 multi-family dwelling units x .015 acres equals .315
acres.
The Owner, therefore, shall pay to the Garfield County Treasurer, at or prior to the time of
recording of the Final Plat, _______________ ($___________) as a payment in lieu of dedication of
land to the RE-1 School District. Said fee shall be transferred by the BOCC to the school district in
accordance with the provisions of § 30-28-133, C.R.S., as amended, and the LUDC.
The Owner agrees that it is obligated to pay the above-stated fee, accepts such obligations,
and waives any claim that Owner is not required to pay the cash in lieu of land dedication fee. The
Owner agrees that Owner will not claim, nor is Owner entitled to claim, subsequent to recording of
the Final Plat of the Subdivision, a reimbursement of the fee in lieu of land dedication to the RE-1
School District.
12. SALE OF LOTS. No lots, tracts, or parcels within the Subdivision may be
separately conveyed prior to recording of the Final Plat in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder.
13. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. As one
remedy for breach of this SIA, the BOCC may withhold issuance of building permits for any
residence or other habitable structure to be constructed within the Subdivision. Further, no building
2908211.3 16
permit shall be issued unless the Owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Carbondale & Rural
Fire Protection District (“District”), if the District has so required, that there is adequate water
available to the construction site for the District’s purposes [and all applicable District fees have
been paid to the District]. No certificates of occupancy shall issue for any habitable building or
structure, including residences, within the Subdivision until all Subdivision Improvements [, except
revegetation] and including off-site improvements, have been completed and are operational as
required by this SIA.
14. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. In the event the Owner fails to comply with the
terms of this SIA, the BOCC shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat as it pertains to any lots
for which building permits have not been issued. As to lots for which building permits have been
issued, the Plat shall not be vacated and shall remain valid. In such event, the Owner shall provide
the BOCC a plat, suitable for recording, showing the location by surveyed legal description of any
portion of the Final Plat so vacated by action of the BOCC. If such a Plat is not signed by the BOCC
and recorded, or if such Plat is not provided by the Owner, the BOCC may vacate the Final Plat, or
portions thereof, by resolution.
2908211.3 17
15. ENFORCEMENT. In addition to any rights provided by Colorado statute, the
withholding of building permits and certificates of occupancy, provided for in paragraph 13, above,
the provisions for release of security, detailed in paragraph 3, above, and the provisions for plat
vacation, detailed in paragraph 14, above, it is mutually agreed by the BOCC and the Owner, that the
BOCC, without making an election of remedies, and any purchaser of any lot within the Subdivision
shall have the authority to bring an action in the Garfield County District Court to compel
enforcement of this SIA. Nothing in this SIA, however, shall be interpreted to require the BOCC to
bring an action for enforcement or to withhold permits or certificates or to withdraw unused security
or to vacate the Final Plat or a portion thereof, nor shall this paragraph or any other provision of this
SIA be interpreted to permit the purchaser of a lot to file an action against the BOCC.
16. NOTICE BY RECORDATION. This SIA shall be recorded in the Office of the
Garfield County Clerk and Recorder and shall be a covenant running with title to all lots, tracts and
parcels within the Subdivision. Such recording shall constitute notice to prospective purchasers and
other interested persons as to the terms and provisions of this SIA.
17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The obligations and rights contained herein shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Owner and the BOCC.
18. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. The
representatives of the Owner and the BOCC, identified below, are authorized as contract
administrators and notice recipients. Notices required or permitted by this SIA shall be in writing
and shall be effective upon the date of delivery, or attempted delivery if delivery is refused.
Delivery shall be made in person, by certified return receipt requested U.S. Mail, receipted delivery
service, or facsimile transmission, addressed to the authorized representatives of the BOCC and the
Owner at the address or facsimile number set forth below:

form of security, or approval of a change in the identity of the security provider/issuer, shall be

adversely affecting any of Owner’s vested rights set forth in this Agreement.
