The area is a mixture of vegetation but are flat. Both lots have residential structures. The surrounding area is mostly large parcels with a mixture of residential of agricultural use s. There are existing homes, agricultural, and accessory structures on both lots. One structure exists within the area that will change ownership. This structure will remain. An aerial is presented in Figure 2 as a reference. II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL The amended final plat will alter the boundary of between the two lots by shifting the line north.

V. REFERRAL AND PUBLIC COMMENTS Referral comments Garfield County Assessor’s Office, Casey Lawrence: • •”The designations of “Parcel A” and “Parcel B” on the plat should be changed. “Parcel A” is Lot 2 of the Germano Exemption and I think it should continu e that numbering convention, perhaps calling it “Lot 2 Amended” would be best. “Parcel B” is the Exemption Parcel per reception no. 960463, and perhaps should be titled “Exemption Parcel Rec. No. 960463 Amended”. • “I also just noted, since the surveyor is g oing to have to make that edit, I’d have them do the same edits to the 4 legal description titles listed on page two of the plat as well!” Garfield County Consulting Engineer, Chris Hale PE: Requested that any irrigation ditch information be provided and that all statements of authority be recorded.

"Parcel B" is the Exemptíon Parcel per reception no. 960463, and perhaps should be titled "Exemption Parcel Rec. No.960463 Amended".
