City destroyed a sizeable portion of this road and severed the easement. After extensive litigation with
the City of Glenwood Springs, Glen Park Ranch was able to enter into a new easement agreement that
provided it with unimpaired access to its property on top of Red Mountain.
This easement road is the same road utilized by Mountain States Communication, Inc., to obtain
access to its 40-acre parcel adjacent to the Glen Park Ranch. Unlike Glen Park Ranch, LLC, Mountain
States Communications, Inc., did nothing to our knowledge to protect or to reassert its easement right
that was severed by the City of Glenwood Springs when it constructed the water treatrnent plant. A
portion of the original roadway in which Mountain States Communication, Inc., had an easement right
was destroyed and the road was reconstructed in a different location. In light of this, Mountain States
Communications, Inc., may no longer have a connected access easement from West 9m Steet to its
property on top of the mountain because the lower portion of that easement near the Water Treatment
irlart *ar severed and the new access road "onrr"ited
to West 9s Street may not be the same road
described in Mountain States' title documents.
Additionally, * the titled owner of the existing roadway easement, Glen Park Ranch has the
right and obligation to maintain the roadway and to take appropriate steps to preserve its easement rights
and to insure that the access road is not unreasonably burdened in a way that interferes with its use of the
easement. The applicant and you should be aware that in the near future, Glen Park Ranch, LLC may
be compelled to install an additional gate on the easement road as allowed by their easement agreement
with the City of Glenwood Springs in order to preserve and protect its access road. Glen Park Ranch
may additionally seek compensation from Mountain States for maintenance into and with expenses
associated with the care of the access road or may take other reasonable action that may be necessary to
protect its property rights.

Rer Hearing fiorColorado Wesl Broadcasting tower
t may not be able to be at your hearing today because of a schedule conflict ln case I cannot make it I
woula tike to voice my support for the ioriver request tom Colorado West Broadcasting for the bllowing
Ieasons:
1. The nadio station is a vlhal part of our community and especially in times of emergency. During the
Coal Seam Fire KMTS/KGLN was the only source of accurate, immediate news- This was very
importantb ourf;amily as the road was dosed and we could notmme b town-
2. Golorado West has been a good neighbor. For some 25 years I owned the propety sunounding
theirfacilig and in tact sold thenr the 40 acres fortheirfacility- VUhen ule soH them theh land in the
earry f SZd's ure added a co\renant to their deed allonring a radio statbn and associated facilities-
3. Their new tower wil! be set back further from the edge of the hilt and will be less noticeable from
Glenwood and from the property. lt will blend in with tre timbered hill that provides a backdrop.
4. tasfly, Colorado West has supported and made possible the lighted cross which many residents of
tre dlenwood area value, and wtrile that has no bearing on your hearing in certainly tells me what
sortof caring people they are.
Sincerely;

Subj: KMTS Radio Tower Application
Mr. Chairman and Commissioners.
In case I am unable to attend the public meeting about this item, I felt I should put a few thoughts
on paper for your consideration. iirst of all resiassured I am not tryingto get into issues ofzoning, development or aesthetics. I am merely addressing this item fri- ip.rrpective of publicsafely and confidence in the organization seeking the peniit.
KMTS and KGLN have been part of the community for a long time, and as they represent theprimary contact I have with the radio segment of thl media. *"" u." n"qr"rrrv ii*ilrl"r'il;..over the years I feel a very productive relationship with this radio group has been forgea inwhich we make use of their coverage for informing the public of irlr"r'of r"i.ty e' ' --
During the Coal S"3l Fire I was able to contact Ron Milhom, who immediately drove to thestation and began airing information. including evacuation noti"", urrJ.."o-*."dations. Theteam at KMTS collaborated with Iaw enforcement and fire personnel througho"rtt. "".rt *awere an important p^iece of our attempts to keep the public u**. of the chiging risk and dangercreated by the fire. Other less life-threatening events occur routinely that offe"r a chance forKMTS to assist us, such as the closure of the"Midturra ar"rru" Al;;;R;;;" on April 26,h for agas leak. one of my initial actions was to call KMTS and advise th;-.f;i;;ituation. [n return,while dodging cars doing traffic diversion, I actually had people t.ri *" irrlv t ua n.u.a about theclosure on the radio. \P", diverting hundreds of vehicles, u iiul" help is hug;. w" hur"employed this method during closures of I-70 through Glenwood Canyon rru],.ro* times, tellingstranded motorists to tune to 99.1 for updates on the re-opening of the highw;t.
Having worked with Gabe Chenoweth and known him for more years than either of us will admitto, I would support his integrity and honesty without question. If he has responsibility formanaging the outcome of this project, you can be assured that itwill develop as described,without any "surprises" in store for you.
I am always available for any questions or input that you

Re: SupPort of KMTS Radio Station
Dear Commissioners,
I can make two statements about KMTS without any reservations:
One, KMTS has been a long-time supporter of local nonprofits. Their commitment to the
work of nonprofits is key to communicating messages of health, safety and a better
quality of Hfe as well aslnformation that supports the fundraising that is inherent to
nonprofit existence in our communities.
Two, KMTS is vital to communication in our local communities' This is our local
station. It is where many people receive their information' This is paramount when we
are in emergency situation like that of the recent fires'
we cannot afford to lose this critical community resource.
Thank you for your consideration,

RE: May 3 2004Meeting Agenda
Special Use Permit Request
Dear Commissioners,
am hopeful you will accommodate KMTS's federally mandated need to erect ataller tower because the station's continued unimpeded operation is vital to coloradoMountain College.
. In the eight and a half years I've been with the college, no other radio station in anine county region- has supported us better. KMTS has covered and aired collegesponsored public forums, salutes to non-profits, fundraising events and regularlybroadcasts our Public Service Announcements so we can heip those who need ourservices and programs.
I have witnessed KMTS giving this same level of communiiy service to othergrass roots and non-profit organizations in Garfield County to which the station makesavailable its extensive reach.
Let us not forget how crucial the station was during the Coal Seam Fire too.
I hope this outstanding record of service to Garfield County will outweigh allconsiderations in your decision on whether to allow them to comply with the federalmandate for a taller tower.

Fred Jarman, Senior Planner
Garfield County
108 Eighth Street Suite 201
Glenwood Springs, CO 81601
Dear Fred,May 4,2004
Thanks for allthe work you put into your presentation at the Commissioner's meeting yesterday.
You did a great job of explaining the technical aspects of the proposal so the Commissioners
could focus on the essential parts.
We still think the original proposal for a 102 foot tower pulled back from the ridgeline has a lot of
merits:
1. lt is unequivocally in compliance with the radio emission requirements of the FCC, which is
required by section 5.03.13 of the review standards.
2. Should the environmental requirements become stricter, fencing can be added to maintain
compliance. We have no indication that the requirements will change, but they have in the
past, and like all regulations, we think they would only become more strict.
3, lt uses terrain shielding for a neutral visual impact to the great majority of persons who
would view the site. We believe this also complies with 5.03.13.
4. This has been a communication site for over thirty years. The impact of this proposal
should be juclged against the historical use, rather than a false vision of an unspoiled, pristine
habitat. While no one likes change, it's unreasonable for anyone to think that no changes
would be needed at a technical facility after thirty years.
At the commissioners direction, we are trying to exhaust other options. We are convinced that co-
location options at Lookout Mountain, lron Mountain, and Sunlight are not practical. Some of the
supporting documents were submitted just in time for the meeting yesterday, and I know you
hadn't had a chance to review them. Would you please let me know if you agree that the co-
location issue has been exhausted.
lf we didnl have to consider the road next to the tower, then fencing can be a part of the solution.
We are in contad with the developers of the neighboring parcels to see if the road can be moved.
After reviewing the technical data, we won't propose a tower shorter than 60 feet (19 feet taller
than the existing tower). That is the minimum height required to comply with the occupational
exposure limits; that is, with the antenna at 60 feet, no location on the ground exceeds the
occupational level. We believe that's a prudent approach to an important safety issue for our own
personnel and others who might do work at the site.
We believe that a 60 foot tower could be located slightly behind the efsting tower, but not as far
back as the original proposal ... the shorter tower would lose line of sight. Perhaps twenty five feet
of pull back is possible before the building would interfere with the guy wire locations.
There is little cost difference in the installation of a sixty foot tower and a 102 foot tower, since the
labor costs dont change. Only the materials, two twenty foot tower sections, would be saved. The
station would have the added cost of fencing the site. We'll keep you advised of our progress.

To Whom lt MaY Concern:

irr.fO, *O judging teams which have enabled members of these oryanizations to attend multiple-#rrg
opp"rtriitiJs and to represent Garfield County atnurterous local, state and national

Ernployees of KM'1S havc conkibuted hours to helping 4-!l memberc leam about raising support

Now it is my understanding that due to FCC requirernents KMTS must improve their curent
tower broadcasting facilitiJs. I am writing this letter to support KMTS in their pursuit of fulfilling
ttris imposed requirement. KMTS has been there when needed to support Garfield County 4H

There are thousands of possible combinations of tower height, location, and fence radius, but
here are three that seem to be realistic and offer different options for the Commissioners to
consider.
)
option #I \ 1t ,V
\1/
This option is only possible if the road is no longer is use. \
I
Erect a sixty foot tower about twenty feet behind the existing tower, and build a fence surrounding l
the base of tfre tower seventy feet away. The fence would include a part of the road. We are in/
contact with the developers of the neighboring parcels to see if the road can be moved.
Option *f2
lf the road remains in use, the tower must move back away from it by at least seventy feet. We r1- , * 1' -
would propose an eighty foot tower at that location, surrounded by a fence seventy feet^arryay' .-, ,i( ..-''would propose an eighty foot tower at that location, surrounded by a fence seventy teet apay' +y) t
Thefencewouldextendalmosttotheroad' i , ^,,,-^l ,rllrl.,, i l/ilu "'
--Lrn\-- fa'loption#l
-
The original option, with a 102 foot tower located 174teel back from the current location.
Allthe options use a setback from the lip of the hill to provide partial visual mitigation to the valley
It doesn't appear that shortening the tower will reduce its cost by more than $500. While we
would save the cost of one or two 20 foot tower sections, the cost of installing the tower doesn't
change: foundation, guy wire anchor blocks, crane rental, antenna brackets, new cables, labor, a
minor modification of the FCC license, administrative costs, etc.
Sincerely,ry

Dear Gabe,
I don't see how we could accommodate KMTS at Iron Mountain. We already
have a number of tenants who might experience interference from your
high power signal, and we have a height restriction of 40 feet. I
understand that's shorter than your existing tower.
I've turned down other users r,'r'ho wanted to install taller towers. I
don't think that would be compatible with the exposed ridgeline at Iron
Mountain, and our tourist operations.
Sorry we can't help you.

Re: Access Across City-Owned Property on Red Mountain
Dear Mr. Chenoweth:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Easement Agreement by and between the City of Glenwood
Springs and the Glen Park Ranch Limited Liability Company. Please note that the grant of easement
conveyed therein by the City is non-exclusive in nature and the City has reserved the right to assign
additional interest in the easement to third parties. This right is subject only to the limitation that the
City's assignment of right may not unreasonably interfere with Glen Park's exercise of its right granted
under the Easement Agreement.
Historically, the City has provided access to KMTS for purposes of maintaining KMTS'
facilities on Red Mountain pursuant to the attached grant. The City would be willing to execute an
updated easement agreement if necessary.
Obviously, the City cannot convey rights to access across third party's properties; the
above-proposed easement agreement would apply only to City-owned properties.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very Truly Yours,

Dear Sirs end Madams:
I am uriting in regards to the KMTS Radio Broadcast Tower end I attended the
public hearing on Monday, Mey 3, 20(N. \\\
KMTS Radio is an integralparthfithis-*rrrn/ty. They sponsor many of the
area evants and support many nonprofit organizations. But, lfeel, the most
important benefit we receive from KMTS is their dedication to "our" local nors.
The Valley is fragmented in receiving cunent events. Television broadcast is
dedicated to either Denver or Grand Junction. The newspapor is an excellent
sour@, but is not readily obtainable or a sour@ for "breaking news." The
ramainders of the radio stations are not locally quned, and some have pre-
recorded disc jockeys.
As manager of a large property, it was KMTS Radio that kept me upto{he-
minute informed regarding the area in and around the Coal Seam Fire. I can not
expross the amount of information I amessed whether it was from their reporting
or the live broadcasts. Their dedication was exemplary.
It is my understanding that the FCC requires the changes KMTS is seeking. I
respectively request a fair solution so that KMTS can continue to be a part of our
fine community.
Thank you for your consideration-

Dear Sir,
I am rirrr:iting to requesl an extension of the above referenced aeronautical study, which produced
a detemrlnation of !,to Hazard and axpires 4t17l2OM. This request tor extension is timely filed,

KMTSIKGLN Radio
32308 South Glen Ave
Glenwood Springs GO 81601
Dear Gabe,April21, 2004
Whenwe visited the KMTS site with Fred Jrman yesterday, he asked how other radio stations
are daaling wtth the issue of radio energy levels near their towers. I know of four stations locally
that have faced similar problems. Across the country, in areas whse broadcasters commonly use
towers hundreds of feet tell, these problems are lesa co,ilnon.
One station in Pitkin County meets the higher occupational o(posure levels, but no{ the general
public levels. fhey are located on BLM tand and the site is about a mite beyond a locked gate.
Despite that, I have seen hunters near the site dudng rifle season, and since the area isn't
resticted, I doubt that it fuly qualifies as 'not accessible to tho general public'. I know they have
considered fencing the area around the tower baee where the radio energy levels are excessive.
This is a practical solulion for them; thelr tower Is already 100 feet tall, and the area to be ferued
is only about 40 feot square.
Another statlon is Eagla County exceeds the public exposure standard aubstantially. Thcir facility
is located on private land six miles beyond a locked gate. The site is lnaccesslble six months ot
the year without a snowcat. While there are other communication sltes nearby that are visited by
communications tochnicians who qualify for the occupational level, I think lts reasonable to say
that the publb is excluded. lf this facility meets the occupational levelq they should be OK.
Another site in Pitkin County that exceeded the public exposure standard is not accessible by
vehlcle, but is located on Forest Service land near a popular hiking trail. The licensee claims that
the site is remote and difficult lo access, but as the sita is only about 100 feet away and visible
from the trail, I thlnk lts likely that hlkers might approach it out of curbsity, and I think the public
expoeure standards would apply. The station replaced their antenna with one of an advanced
design that has reduced dowrnvard radiation. This may be an appropriate solutlon, as their tower
is taller than KMTS's, and thair transmifter power is only a third of KMTSls. The existing KMTS
tower is too short for this approach to work,
Another station in Routt County operates with sornewhat higher porver than KMTS, from a much
taller antenna. They appear to exceed the public exposure standard- Thek facility is located on
private propefi, but it is used by the public as a recrestion area. I do not know if the station has
taken steps to bring tho facillty into compliance.
Sincerely,
Jon Banks
