Boland Ranch Properties Associates Subdivision Exemption
Canyon Creek
Dear Mark:
Attached, herewith, please fincl the appropriate supplemental information,
check for the application fee and application form for a subdivision exemption
for a 20.5 acre parcel of lancl owned by Boland Ranch Properties. Brinkley B.
Brown III is the General Partner of Boland Ranch Properties Associates. The
property is bounded on the west by County Road 137, on the east by Canyon
Creek, the south by the I-70 frontage road and on the north by the Canyon
Creek School House, The applicant proposes to create two parcels of
approximately 18.5 acres and 2 acres.
The 2 acre parcel is located in the southeast corner of the property and
includes an existing single-family residence and a cabin, both of which are
occupied. Both residences apparently were in existence prior to L970.
According to the owners, this parcel has been in the present configuration
since before 1960 without any tracts being split from it.
The existing residences are accessed by the State Highway frontage road. The
18.5 acre parcel wor.rld be accessed from County Roacl 137. Both are served by
and will continue to be served by a well located on the proposed 18.5 acre
parcel (see attached permit). Agreements for the joint utilization of this
well by both properties up to a maximum of three households will accompany any
property ownership transfer. The existing house and cabin are on a septic tank
and leachfield. A future residence on the larger tract would also be served
by an individual wastewater treatment system. The easterly edge of the
property is affected by the Canyon Creek flood plain.

A visit to the site and a review of the attached SCS Soil Descriptions will
clarify the appropriateness of the site for single-family homes. The larger
tract is anticipated to be sold for a single family residence. If you require
any additional information or have questions, please cal1.
Sincerely,
Ronald B. Liston

36 SOIL SURVEY
Use of this soil for community development, for sani-
tary facilities, and as a source of construction material is
limited by steep slopes, high clay content, low strength,
depth to bedrock and shrink-swell potential. Road con'
struction and building foundations can be designed to
reduce the effects of shrinking and swelling. A good
drainage system reduces soil slumping.
This soil is in capability subclass Vlle, nonirrigated.
orrifluvents, nearly level. This broadly defined
co nsists of deep, well drained to somewhat poorly
drained, nearly level soils on flood plains adjacent to the
Colorado and Roaring Fork Hivers and their major tribu-
taries. Slope is 0 to 6 percent. The soils formed in
alluvium.
These soils are stratified and vary widely in texture
and depth. The surface layer ranges from loamy sand
and fine sandy loam to silty loam and clay loam' The
underlying layers are generally sandy loam or loam strati-
fied with sand, gravel, and cobbles. ln some areas gravel
and cobbles are on or near the surface.
The water table fluctuates between depths ol 2 and 4
feet and in some years is near the surface during spring
runoff from snowmelt. These soils are subject to brief,
occasional flooding late in spring and early in summer.
lncluded in mapping are small isolated areas of Wann
soils that have slopes of 1 to 3 percent. Small areas ol
soils that are moderately to severely affected by alkali
are identified by an alkali spot symbol. Small, isolated
areas where water stands at or near the surface all year
are identified by wet spot and marsh spot symbols.
These areas make up 15 percent of the map unit.
These soils are used for wildlife habitat, recreation,
and some grazing.
The native vegetation is mainly cottonwood, willow,
tamarisk and water-tolerant grasses, sedges, and rushes'
ln many areas these soils are suited to production of
Fremont cottonwood. The soils are capable of producing
230 board feet of timbei' per acre from a fully stocked,
even-aged stand of 40-year-old trees.
Where these soils are accessible, they provide shelter
and forage for livestock.
Mule deer, cottontail rabbit, coyote, bobcat, ducks,
geese, and other native birds find food and shelter on
these soils. Where feasible, planting food plots, trees
and shrubs, and nesting cover enhances the habitat for
upland wildlife. Where the water table is high, open
water for waterfowl and fish can be developed by blast'
ing or by excavating.
These soils have potential for recreation. Wildlife is
abundant, and the nearby rivers can be used for rafting
and canoeing. Community development is very limited by
flooding, the seasonal high water table, and variable
texture. Onsite investigation is necessary.
These soils are in capability subclass Vllw, nonirrigat-
ed.
more. Organic matter content is high. Surface runoff is
slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is occa-
sionally flooded for brief periods between April and Sep-
tember.
This soil is used mainly for grazing, wildlife habitat, and
limited irrigated hay. Good management of water and
fertilizer maintains or improves the production of native
hay.
The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wildrye,
wheatgrass, needlegrass, and small amounts of forbs
and shrubs.
When range condition deteriorates, dandelion, yarrow,
rabbitbrush, big sagebrush, and Kentucky bluegrass in-
crease. Properly managing grazing maintains and im-
proves range condition. Basin wildrye, slender wheat-
grass, and western wheatgrass are suitable for seeding.
Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good
practices. Fencing protects this more productive soil'
This soil is lower than surrounding soils and usually con-
tains the water supply for livestock. Fleducing brush im-
proves the range.' Mule deer, snowshoe hare, elk, coyote, and blue
grouse find habitat on this soil.
Community development is limited by flooding. This
soil is a good source of toPsoil.
This soil is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated.
64-Tanna sitty clay loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes.
This moderately deep, well drained soil is on mountain-
sides. Elevation ranges from 6,500 to 7,600 feet. This
soil formed in material weathered from shale. The aver-
age annual precipitation is about 17 inches, the average
annual air temperature is about 43 degrees F, and the
average frost-free period is about 100 days'
Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown silty clay
loam about 9 inches thick. The subsoil is light brownish
gray clay and light gray silty clay about 15 inches thick.
The substratum is light gray channery clay loam about 6
inches thick. Weathered shale is at a depth of 30 inches.
lncluded with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Dollard clay and shale outcrop on steep and very steep
mountainsides. These areas make up 10 to 15 percent
of the map unit.
Permeability is slow, and available water capacity is
low. Effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches. Surface
runoff is rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe'
This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited
grazing.- The native vegetation on this soil is mainly Gambel
oak, serviceberry, snowberry, and elk sedge.
When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs
increase. When the range is in poor condition, Kentucky
bluegrass, weeds, and annual plants are numerous.
Prop-erly managing grazing maintains and improves
range condition.
Mule deer, wild turkey, and cottontail rabbit find habitat
on this soil.

NW1,/4, NW1.,/4, Section 36, T5S, R90W, 6TH PM
Water Division 5, Water District 38
Dear Andrew,
We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to subdivide a 20.5 acre parcel into n,rro
parcels of 18.5 arrd 2 acres. The property is basically located at Canyon Creek and the I-70
Frontage Road. The two acre parcel has an existing single family residence and a cabin which are
served by a well (Permit Number 55837) located on the proposed 18.5 acre parcel. The proposed
water supply for the two existing buildings on the 2 acre parcel and one proposed building on the
18.5 acre parcel is this existing well.
Upon approval by the County for this exemption, the applicant can retain the domestic well
providing that the existing well is located on the same parcel as the n,rro dwellings. The applicant
can then apply for an additional well as the onlv well on the larger tract to be used for household-
use-onlv. The existing well cannot be allowed to serve three single family dwellings unless it has
hj sf ori cally heen servr:r g tluee dvrelli::.gs.
Based on this, we can recommend approval of this exemption. Should you have further
questions regarding this submittal, please contact this office.
Sincerely,
J

Dear Andrew:

This letter concerns the apptication of Borand RanchProperties for a subdivision approvar in canyon creek. As runderstand the problem, yotr have inquired why there is no writtendocument creatjng an easement from the we]l to parcer B, theparcel -upon which the werl would be used for the time being. rncolorado pursuant to Leonard v. Buergerr copy enclosed, waf,erconveyanclng facilities and the easement theiefor may come intobeing either by presumption or orar agreement. rt i; our opinionthat under the circumstances of this matter, Borand Ranch clnt3ke advantage of either the presumption or the "permission" ofthe owner of Parce1 A (also Boland Ranch). The result is that aneasement by an operation of l-aw exists to use the well for thebenefit of Parcel B.
Boland Ranch's intention is to obtain a new well permit andconstruct a new well on Parcel B. They have obtained West Dividewater conservancy District water service and currently havepending a water court case to accomplish this result. We believethat the well permit will be forthcoming within the next three tofour months time.
we trust the foregoing wilt satisfy the county's concernthis aspect of our apprication. please contait me if youany questions.

Mn. Jusrrco Cr,anx delivered the opinion of the Court.
. Buen_con, as plaintiff, instituted injunction proceed_ings alleging interference with his iirigation ditch by
defendant, F. J. Leonard, or some pe.son under his di_rection, and for consequent damagei. Upon it later ap_pearing that the property traversed b}r the ditch wasowned jointly by Leonard and his wiie, she aiso wasmade a party defendant. Judgment of the trial court
was in plaintiff's favor.
Plaintiff and defendants are the owners of separatetracts of iand located in the upper valley of the Wit_liams Fork of the Colorado Rivei. The lands orvned bydefendants lie southerly from those of plaintiff andabut on plaintiff's property for a distance -of somewhat
less than a quarter of a mile. Lying westerly from theforty-acre tract of defendants which is adjacent to thelands of plaintiff, and also abutting on piaintiff,s prem_
ises, is a forty-acre tract of united states national iorestland. Traversing defendants, premises and florving in agenerallv northerll- or northeasteriy direction is a smallcr.ee\, a tributary to the Williams Fork, the name ofwhich appears variously in the severai documents in-ciuded r.vithin the file of this case, as ,,Reid." ,,Reed,,,
"Read" Creek. Not knowing whictr is correct. rve shailrefer to it as Reid creek. Reference is made to the ditchin contro'ersy as the Glenmar Ditch. It di'erts waterfrom Reid Creek on lands now owned by defendants andtraverses their property for a distance of approximately
700 feet onto the forest tract above mentioned. thenclto plaintiff's lands. Defendants acquired titie io theirlands by' purchase in 1950, intending to use same forha;r raising and commercial recreation. At the time ofits purchase, evidently the ranch was considerabiy rundown and Reid creek was nothing but a series of blaverdams. In 195i defendants caused the pools made by saidbeaver dams to be drained and the Lnd forme.ly
"o,r_ered thereby to be leveled so that grass seed migfrt Ue

sown thereon for the purpose of raising hay. To effectthe thorough drainage of this field, defendants causedthe channel of said creek to be diverted into a ditch
theS' constructed around the outer edge of said area. In
the process of this improvement the Glenmar ditch also
was leveled and its point of dir-ersion obiiterated. As aresult of defendants' activity in this connection and theirrefusal to permit reestabhshment of the Glenmar ditch,
this action was instituted.
- Admitting that no consideration had been paid and no
deed had been executed conr,,er-ing a right of u,ay forthe Glenmar Ditch, plaintiff reliei upon tl.,e cloctrine
that a ditch constructed bv a partr- ovei land-" of another.by consent of the owner, or t-ithout objection on hispart. and used as the means for the carriage of l,r,ater forirrigation purposes over a period of ,l,ears, has a right
of s'av which malr n61 be destror-ed b1, the ou,ner of ifre
Iands over which it crosses.
Defendants allege as grounds for reversal: (1) That
the trial court erred in awarding nlaintiff an easement
across defendants' land, since none such appears bygrant of record, and that even if there had at one time
b-een such a right of way, it had been abandoned; thatthe ditch was not apparent at the time defendants pur-
chased their property, had no headgate, and did not con-
tinue to plaintiff's land; (2) that the trial court errecl i,awarding damages to plaintiff for the cost of construc_tion of a new headgate; and (3) in awarding damages toplaintiff on account of shortage in his 1g52 ha5r ..o! .luu
to lack of water.
Incidently, plaintiff likewise complains and assigns as
cross errors that the trial court, s.hile correct in award_ing damages for shortages in clefendants, 1952 hay crop,
committed error in awarding an jnsufficient amount, analiken ise in refusing to awaid additional damo.ges on ac_
count of loss of pasturage.

Memorandum of Decision', in which he carefully setforth at length his findings upon every issue of tact in-volved in that proceeding and 1ikewiie the conclusionsof law considered by him applicabie thereto. From ampieevidence contained within the record the trial courtfound that the irrigation ditch now known as the Gien-mar ditch was first constructed about fifty years ago forirrigation of lands near the vicinity of its-point of iiver-sion from Reid Creek; that in 1g15 one Baidwin acquiredthe lands now owned by defendants and also occupled
as a homestead a portion of the lands now belonging toplaintiff and thereupon extended said ditch so- as" tocover lands on his homestead; that in rg22 one Markleacquired lands adjacent to the Baldwin homestead, nowlikewise or,vned by plaintiff, and further extended saidditch so as to cover a portion of said 1ands; that from
1915 until 1952 waters di'erted from Reid creek throughsaid ditch lvere never used on any part of the lands ni,vowned b1- defendants; that on the Mark]e and Baldwinhomesteads now orvned by plaintiff, the waters carriedby said ditch "har.e been continuously used si".u atleast 1922 for the irrigation of both.,,
The trial court further found that in 1g22 arrd priorthereto, the waters carried. by said ditch were diverteddirectlv from the flo."ving channel of Reid .Creek bvmeans of a constructed headgate therein, .ivhich laterbecame submerged and rendered ineffective because ofa series of bea'er dams erected in that area. and thatthereafter the suppl;, of water for said ditch rvas takenfrom some one or more of the pools formed Uy ,"iabeaver dams. It is _not certain, said the trial "court,
whether a structurai headgate was maintained in any oisaid bear.er dams or whether the water supplying iaidditch was released therefrom b;r other *u"rri.- Fol16wingthe ditch on down from its souice, the trial court furtheifound that at one time it had been constructed through_out its length onto lands now belonging to piaintiff, Eutlater, at a point within the forest t-raci, the ivater'car_

ried by it had been permitted to flow dou,n a depressionto plaintiff's land, where it was caught and apphed to
imigation of the fields by pickup ditches.
The trial court then related the facts concerning the
activities of defendants when they acquired title to theirpresent iands as hereinabove stated. A temporary in-junction having been granted prior to final hearing.plaintiff proceeded thereunder to clean out his ditch iothe place where it intersected the by-pass canal con-
structed by defendants and there he inserted a diversion
headgate. The trial court held that the defendants were
l+,ithout lawful authority to destroy said Glenmar Ditch
and its point of diversion regardless of how that diver-
sion had been accomplished; and that, since it u.as im-
possible and possibly improper to undertake or requirea restoration of conditions as they existecl prior to tl-retime when defendants drained and leveled said beaver
dams, piaintiff's rights might be protected onl5. |1, per-mitting the installation of a headgate in the channel
constructed b;' defendants to carrv the u.aters of saidcreek, the cost thereof to be bornl by defendants. Onother points raised by defendants, the trial court treated
each specifically and. entered findings adverse to defend-
ants' contentions.
yit! respect to damages, the trial court alioq,ed plain-tiff $495.90 because.of shortage in his ha;- crop in 1SSZdue to defendants' interference with his rru,ater supply
through the Glenmar ditch, and $188.22 as the .ost ttplaintiff for the placement of a proper headgate to which
reference has hereinabove been made.
[1-3] Defendants contend that al1 the evidence ad-
duced in this case on behalJ of plaintiff shows that saidwater right rn,as instituted by their predecessor in tiile,
Reid; that the ditch as extended by Baldwin went onlyto lands then owned by him and that at no time was saihditch used by any person other than the owner of theland served thereby. In this contention defendants arein error, as the trial court found, because it is very clear

from the record, that Jollowing the orvnership of saidBaldwin, preclecessor of titie no"t onty of defendants butIiker,vise to part of the h;il-;;; oumed by ptaintiff,said tracts became separated in ownership, and there_after water continued- to be .uppU"a to the Baldn inhomestead, now 9r,vn9d b;, ptainii'ifi without objection orinterference bv the then 6rn1ner. oi tfr" lands now ownedby defendants.

have used, is without merit, since it was they who de-
stroyed the former arrangement by which defendants
took water into his Glenmar ditch, and there is no show_ing that the headgate that they sought to substitute is
either adequate or is on the right of way of said ditctr.With respect to damages for the loss of crops and pas_
ture, this raises a rather difficult question, but we-are
convinced that the trial court had ample reason to awardthe damages to plaintiff that it did, ind we are not in-clined to criticize its j,dgment on the items it failed toaward, in the face of its findings that the evidence insupport thereof was uncertain and speculative. Thepresumption of regularity sufficienfl5r supports the trialcourt's arvards.
The judgment of the trial court therefore in all re_
spects is affirmed.
