To Whom It May Concern:
Following are our conditional use permit application along with the relevant
documentation required.
We are applying for use of aircraft landing strip on our 100 acres South of Silt. We
would be occasionally landing our Piper Super Cub on dry land pasture situated on our
property. The strip will be approximately 1250 ft long and 40 feet wide. No earth work is
required only mowing. The aircraft will continue to be based in Glenwood. No water or
power will be involved. There are no homes within 1/3 mile of the landing strip. Nor any
in the direct landing or take off flight pattern.
Use of the aircraft is mainly recreational with five to ten flights a year for community
agricultural/ranch purposes. Like ditch inspections and cattle location. We have helped
the West Divide Cattle Pool in the past.
Sincerely
Ori

To Whom It May Concern:
Impact Statement
The impact for proposed landing strip on Balcomb's property on West Divide Ck.,
Garfield County will be minimal. The area of the proposed site is open agricultural land
with very few homes. Our ranching neighbors are supportive as we help with cattle
location and ditch inspection.
1. Road access is already in place. There will be no extra vehicle activity connected
with the air strip.
2. No dirt work is required for the landing strip. Only mowing of dry land pasture.
3. There will be no water development connected with the landing strip.
4. No fuel will be stored on site.
5. There are three homes within 1/3 mile. None in the direct flight paths.
6. Usage will average once a week. With very little, if any, winter time activity.

To Whom It May Concern:
FAA Regulations
We have contacted Brian Condie, Garfield County airport manager and Chris Schaffer at
the FAA Denver ADO (our regional airport division office) for the information that
follows.
Federal Aviation Regulations Part 157 (see attached) requires all persons to notify the
FAA of any proposed landing area. We spoke with Chris Scaffer, and have submitted the
appropriate form (FAA form 7480.1). In speaking with him about the requirements of a
landing site he felt the FAA would have no problems with ours and will issue us a "no
objection" determination.
The FAA process takes 45 to 60 days so we are submitting this to you so we can move
forward and get on your schedule.

RECEIVED
FEB 1 5 2006
GARFIELD COUNTY
BUILDING & PLANNING
An airspace analysis of the proposed private use West Divide Airport, Silt, Colorado, has been
completed. Based on this study, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has no objection.
Operations shall be conducted in accordance with the communications requirements/restrictions of the
overlying class of airspace.
We recommend that a clear 20:1 approach slope be established and maintained.
Please check the performance capabilities of the aircraft you intend to operate at your airport to ensure
you have adequate runway length. All users of the airport should be briefed on operating conditions at
the airport.
This determination does not mean FAA approval or disapproval of the physical development involved in
the proposal. It is a determination with respect to the safe and efficient use of airspace by aircraft and
with respect to the safety of persons and property on the ground. This determination does not relieve the
proponent of responsibility for compliance with any local law, ordinance or regulations, or state or other
Federal regulations.
In making this determination, the FAA has considered matters such as the effect the proposal would have
on the existing or planned traffic patterns of neighboring airports, the effects it would have on the
existing airspace structure and projected program of the FAA, the effects it would have on the safety or
persons and property on the ground, and the effects that existing or proposed man-made objects (on file
with the FAA) and known natural objects within the affected area would have on the proposal.
The FAA cannot prevent the construction of structures near an airport. The airport environs can only be
protected through such means as local zoning ordinances or acquisition of property rights. It is up to you,
as the owner, to provide for this protection.
No evaluation of the environmental aspects of the proposal was made in reaching this determination.
Therefore, this determination is not to be construed as approval of the proposal from an environmental
standpoint under Public Law 91-190 (National Environmental Policy Act of 1969).

In order to avoid placing any unfair restrictions on users of the navigable airspace, this determination is
valid until March 31, 2007. Should the facility not be operational by this date, an extension of the
determination must be obtained prior to the expiration date of this letter.
When the airport becomes operational, please complete and return the enclosed Airport Master Record
form to this office. The Airport Master Record notifies the FAA that your facility has been activated.
When the processing of the Airport Master Record form is completed, your landing area will have a site
number and a permanent location identifier.
If in the future you wish to open the airport to public use, a new airspace determination will be required.
In addition, if the facility changes names, changes ownership, if there is a change in the owner's address
or other substantial changes, please notify the FAA, NFDC on Form 5010-5. The FAA might solicit
information updates on your airport, and if the solicitation is not responded to, your airport could be
considered an inactive facility.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at the
number above.
Sincerely,

RE: Ironbridge PUD — Partial Release of Collateral Request No. 5
Dear Mark:
At the request of Garfield County and Ironbride PUD, Resource Engineering, Inc.
(RESOURCE) has reviewed the fifth partial release of collateral submitted by High
Country Engineering, Inc. RESOURCE attended a site review with HCE on October 14,
2005.
The request is to release all of the remaining balance except for two items that have not
been completed. The uncompleted items include sod in roadside ditches and baffled oil
skimmers in the storm drain system. The items total $11,625.35 including a 10 percent
contingency.
The requested amount of release $484,056.21 appears to be consistent with the SIA for
the work completed, except as noted below.
1. The 5 foot concrete sidewalk was not constructed. This item has apparently
been deleted from the project. It is our understanding that the County has
agreed to the deletion of the sidewalk in exchange for construction of a trail
through the first phase of the residential development. The trail is to be included
in the SIA for the next phase of residential development. The concrete sidewalk
deletion represents $113,532.08 of the total requested release.
2. Vegetation is sparse on several areas on the disturbed slopes uphill of County
Road 119. These Uphill areas do not appear consistent with the vegetation
growth that has been established on the slopes downhill of County Road 119.
Please call if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
RESOURCE E GI EERING, INC.
