S d 7 Telephone Number EXEMPTION APPLICABILITY The Board of County Commissioners has the discretionary power to exempt a division of land from the definition of subdivision and thereby from the procedure in these Regulations, provided the Board determines that such exemption will not impair or defeat the stated purpose of the Subdivision Regulations nor be detrimental to the general public welfare. The Board shall make exemption decisions in accordance with the requirements of these regulations. Following a review of the individual facts of each application in light of the requirements of these Regulations, the Board may approve, conditionally approve or deny an exemption. An application for exemption must satisfy, at a minimum, all of the review criteria listed below. Compliance with the review criteria, however, does not ensure exemption. The Board also may consider additional factors listed in Section 8:60 of the Subdivision Regulations. A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to qualify for exemption, the parcel as it existed on January 1, 1973, must have been 35 acres or greater in size at that time and not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad), preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs along the public right-of- way, such parcels thereby created may, at the discretion of the Board, not be considered to have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tracts of land 35 acres or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by exemption since January 1, 1973. 2.

It is the Districts understanding that this division will create a separate parcel of approximately 24 acres. It is also the Districts understanding that this property would be used for construction of one, single family dwelling. The above property is within the boundaries of the Rifle Fire Protection District. Fire and Emergency Medical Services will be provided to the area by the District. In order to assist the District in it's capabilities of providing these services, we would make the following recommendations; 1. Defensible space: Vegetation should be removed from near any structures on the property to provide a safe zone in the event of a wildland fire. 2. Construction materials: The District recommends the use of a classified roof covering and non-combustible siding materials to minimize threats from a wildland fire. 3. Road construction: When constructing the access roadway into the property, consideration should be given to the weights of fire apparatus and accessibility during adverse weather conditions. 4. Posting of address: The address of the property is to be posted where the driveway accesses the highway. Letters are to be a minimum of 4 inches in height, 1/2 inch in width and contrast with the background colors. As the time comes closer for construction of structures on the property, the District would be happy to set down and discuss wildland concerns in greater detail. Thank you for your cooperation and feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

As such, your project needs no further authorization by BLM. We will note your right-of-way on our public land records. Your right-of-way will be noted as 1,350 feet long and 10 feet wide. If it ever develops that you need to enlarge your project for any reason it will be necessary for you to obtain a new authorization under a 1976 federal law. The RS 2339 permit can't be used to enlarge your project. Note your right-of-way has been given the serial number, COC -55127. Please use this number if you correspond vith us about your project. You paid $175.00 for application processing. This money was collected in error and will be refunded to you in the near future in a separate letter.

WHEREAS, the Parties each own land in Section 25 and/or Section 26, Township 4 South, Range 94 West of the 6`h P.M. in northwestern Garfield County; and WHEREAS, both Parties now use water from a spring designated Wilcoxson No. 1 located in the NW '/a of the SW '/a of Section 25, Township 4 South, Range 94 West of the 6th P.M. ("the Spring"), as more particularly identified and described in the Registration of Existing Well dated February 9th, 1990, a copy of which is attached hereto and identified as Exhibit "A", and by this reference incorporated herein; and WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate that the property now occupied by each of them will be the subject of a Subdivision Exemption Application before the Commissioners of Garfield County, Colorado WHEREAS, in anticipation of the approval of said Subdivision Exemption Application the Parties now wish to provide for the joint use and sharing of expenses with respect to said spring for themselves and their successors and assigns; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree: 1. Permitted Uses. Water from the Spring shall be used for domestic household use, fire protection, the watering of domestic animals, poultry, and livestock, and the irrigation of not more than twenty -thousand square feet of home gardens and lawns. In addition, both Parties agree to be bound by and to comply with all additional instructions or restrictions regarding the use of the Spring and water therefrom properly issued by the Office of the State Water Engineer. 2. Production/Consumption. At the time it was registered the Spring produced a natural flow of twelve gallons per minute, which natural flow is collected into a cistern. The natural flow has historically been sufficient to meet the needs for two residential dwelling units. Neither Party will take any steps or do anything which might damage the Spring or diminish its flow, or interfere with the pipelines, cisterns, ponds, or other accessories now in place or later installed in connection with the use of water from the Spring. Neither Party guarantees that the flow will continue at the same rate, or at all. The Parties shall be entitled to consume the water produced from the Spring in approximately equal amounts, and will cooperate in the installation, maintenance, and reading of such meters as they may deem appropriate for the monitoring and measuring of production and consumption of water from the Spring. 3. Limitations on Use and Distribution. In addition to the limitations on use described in Paragraph 1 above, neither Party will use or permit the use of water from the Spring on any lands other than those covered by this Agreement, and will not sell, trade, barter or exchange any of said output for use off the lands covered by this Agreement.

Each Party shall be solely responsible for the maintenance and repair of that part of the system devoted to delivering water exclusively to their property which is located on their property. Alterations or improvements to the system made exclusively for the benefit or at the insistence of one Party shall be paid for by the Party at whose request the alteration or improvement is made. Neither Party shall injure, damage, alter, or interfere with the system in any way which will impair the ability of the other Party to receive that Party's share and benefit from the water system. A Party may contribute their share of the cost by making payment in money, services, or materials. To the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Party grants to the other the right of access to the others property, and easements for existing structures and facilities, and the construction and maintenance of existing or additional structures and facilities. 5.

Rights on Default. In the event that a Party does not contribute its share of the any cost provided to be shared by this Agreement, the other Party may make such payment on behalf of the defaulting Party, in which event the Party making the advance shall be entitled to reimbursement from the defaulting Party, together with interest at the rate of twelve percent per annum, plus its costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in collecting said amount. No Party shall be entitled to interrupt water service from jointly owned facilities because of a failure to contribute to joint expenses. 8. Parties Bound; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties executing below, and on their respective heirs, successors, and assigns. The privileges, rights, duties, and obligations under this Agreement shall be transferable only in connection with the transfer of the land served by the Agreement.

(page 2) 06 FILE NO. 9609027 INFORMATIONAL NOTES This is to advise that COMMONWEALTH TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY makes available to its prospective insured owners, in conjunction with their COMMONWEALTH TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY policy covering a single family residence, including a condominium or townhouse unit, protection against mechanics' liens. This protection is not automatic nor given in all cases, but is subject to the Company's underwriting requirements, and does not cover those liens which arise out of work contracted for or entered into at the request of the insured owner. These underwriting requirements include, but may not be limited to, the following: 1. Receipt by the Company of agreement(s) indemnifying it for any loss resulting from its granting of lien protection, executed by the seller, contractor or others who might have incurred debts which could result in mechanics' liens; 2. Information concerning the solvency and whereabouts of the parties set forth in Item No. 1, possibly including financial statements; 3. Evidence of payment of any bills which might have been incurred for work done on the property, depending upon the length of time elapsed since the last work was completed and what remains to be done; 4. In the event of extensive recent constructions, whether on all the improvements located upon the property or not, additional items required may include: (a) the Company's review of the owner's and/or builder's history relative to construction projects previously completed or presently under construction; (b) review of the construction loan agreement if applicable; (c) review of any performance or materialman's bonds concerning this construction, if applicable; (d) payment of the appropriate charge for mechanics' lien protection during construction, if applicable. This is also to advise that, pursuant to Regulation of the Colorado Insurance Commissioner, every title entity shall be responsible for all matters which appear of record prior to the time of recording, and subsequent to the effective date of the commitment, whenever the title entity conducts the closing and is responsible for recording or filing of legal documents resulting from the transaction which was closed. This does not include those matters created, suffered, assumed or agreed to by the insured. The prospective insured is advised to inquire of the closing entity as to whether it is an office of COMMONWEALTH TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY or is an independent agent which will be the responsible entity relative to the closing only. 4 RECORDEDt3 "C 1 oliJ� ]Q err 8571r; 0 -C l R 7 M.
