Vegetation. - See Vegetation Map (Sheet 5). D. Wildlife. - Because of the site's orientation and proximity to existing development in the area, Cedar Ridge Farm is not thought to be an area of critical habitat for wildlife. Nonetheless, the proposal seeks to mitigate potential impacts on wildlife through the following measures: 1. The proposed subdivision assures that the property will be developed at significantly lower density than that allowed by current zoning. The site is presently zoned for over 50 residential units. 2. Restrictions are incorporated into the draft Covenants for the property which will limit the number of dogs on each of the residential lots to no more than three and require that they be kenneled or on leash at all times. 3. Fencing of the residential lots will be prohibited and the Covenants require that other fencing be reviewed by the Architectural Review Committee, specifically keeping in mind wildlife movements through the area. 4. Development will be limited to specific areas within the residential lots and disturbance of existing vegetation will be minimized; all site improvements will be subject to review by the Architectural Review Committee. 4:80 SUPPLEMENTAL INF DRMATION - DRAINAGE PLAN A through D. - See Site Plan (Sheets 1 and 2).

The persons serving on the Architectural Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors who may remove a member of the Architectural Committee, except a member appointed by Declarant, and appoint a new member at any time, provided there shall at all times be at least three persons serving on the Architectural Committee. The members of the Architectural Committee may also be directors of the Association and need not be Owners. The Architectural Committee shall have and exercise all other powers, duties and responsibilities set out in this instrument. 2. Approval by Architectural Committee. No improvements of any kind, including but not limited to, dwelling units, garages, accessory buildings, swimming pools, tennis courts, ponds, parking areas, fences, walls, driveways, antennae, curbs and walks shall be erected, altered or permitted to remain within the Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision, nor shall any excavating, tree cutting, and clearing or landscaping be done in conjunction therewith within the Cedar Farm Ridge Subdivision, unless the complete architec- tural plans and specifications and a site plan showing the location and orientation thereof for such erection or alteration and landscaping are approved by the Architectural Committee prior to the commencement of such work except as Declarant may be specifically permitted to do by these Covenants. At least three complete sets of the architectural and site development plans and specifications shall be submitted to the Architectural Committee along with a complete list of all exterior materials and colors to be used. All copies of the complete plans and specifications shall be signed for identification by the Owner or his architect. The Architectural Committee shall have the right to request whatever additional information with regard to plans, specifications, reports and the like it deems necessary to evaluate the development proposal throughout the approval and construction process. In addition, the Architectural Committee may adopt rules and regulations which shall specify the information, reports, plans, specifications and the like required to be submitted to the Architectural Committee. 3 In the event the Architectural Committee fails to take any action within forty-five (45) days after three copies of the complete architectural and site development plans, specifications, materials and colors have been submitted to it and the submittal has been certified in writing by the Architectural Committee as complete, then all of such submitted architectural plans shall be deemed to be approved. The Architectural Committee shall not unreasonably disapprove the architectural plans. The majority vote of the members of the Architectural Committee shall be required for approval of plans. 3. Building Permit. An Owner may apply for a building permit from the Garfield County Building Department at any time, provided, however, the plans approved by the Building Department shall not differ in any substantial way from the plans approved by the Architectural Committee. If the plans approved by the Building Department differ in any substantial way (as determined by the Architectural Committee) from the plans approved by the Architectural Committee, then all approvals of the Architectural Committee shall be deemed automatically revoked. 4. Variances. The Architectural Committee may, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Architectural Committee, allow reasonable variances as to any of the covenants and restrictions governing architectural control contained in this instrument, or policies or rules promulgated by the Architectural Committee, on such terms and conditions as it shall require, when circumstances such as topography, natural obstruction or hardship warrant. No variance shall be granted which contrevenes any provisions of these Covenants required by any approvals obtained by Declarant from Garfield County for Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision or which violate the Garfield County Land Use and Building Codes. The granting of a variance on one lot shall not entitle the owner of any other lot to a similar variance. No owner of a lot shall be entitled to a variance as a matter of right. No variance shall be granted unless written notice of the request for such variance is provided ten (10) days prior to the hearing for said variance to all lot Owners. Notice to such lot Owners shall be deemed complete when placed in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the last known address for each lot Owner as provided to the Association. 5. General Requirements. The Architectural Committee shall exercise its best judgment to see that all improvements, construc- tion, landscaping and alterations within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision harmonize to the greatest extent possible with the natural setting and with other structures within the Subdivision as to design, materials, color, siting, height and other design features. The Architectural Committee shall protect the seclusion 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 and view of each lot insofar as possible (taking into account final buildout of all lots in the Subdivision) in the development of Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision pursuant to these covenants and shall endeavor to protect and preserve the visual character of the property and preserve and maintain the trees, ground cover and open areas in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. In its review of any proposed development activity, the Architectural Committee shall evaluate, among other things, the materials to be used on the outside of buildings or structures, including exterior colors, location with respect to topography and finished grade elevations and harmony of landscaping with the natural setting and native trees, and other vegetation within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. The use of landscape materials that are indigenous to or existing in the area, which have low maintenance requirements and low water consumption, so that natural areas do not sharply constrast with the landscaped areas, is encouraged. The Architectural Committee shall exercise its judgment to preserve to the greatest extent possible the natural characteris- tics of each lot and all natural vegetation, including trees and bushes and the natural setting of each building site. The Architectural Committee must approve the location of all structures and improvements to be located on each lot. The Architectural Committee shall approve all fencing prior to installation. Barbed wire and chain link fencing shall be pro- hibited. Only opaque wooden fencing intended to screen equipment (no property boundary fencing) shall be permitted within Lots 1 through 6 of the Subdivision. The type, size, design, material and location of all fencing must be approved by the Architectural Committee. One basis for consideration by the Architectural Committee of any proposed fencing shall be its affect on wildlife. Fencing shall not exceed forty-two (42) inches in height. The Architectural Committee shall consider the building standards specified by the pamphlet "Protecting Your Home from Wildfire" prepared by the United States Forest Service in granting approvals for construction of residences. The Architectural Committee shall attempt to incorporate the recommendations of that pamphlet into the plans approved for Owners of lots in the Subdiv- ision to the extent reasonably necessary and convenient to protect the Subdivision and all of the buildings constructed therein from the danger of wildfire. 6. Preliminary Approvals. Owners who anticipate construct- ing improvements on land within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision, may submit preliminary sketches of such improvements to the 5 Architectural Committee for informal and preliminary approval or disapproval. All preliminary sketches shall be submitted in at least three (3) sets, and shall contain sufficient general information on those matters required for the final architectural and site development plans and specifications to allow the Architectural Committee to act intelligently in giving an informed preliminary approval or disapproval. The Architectural Committee shall never be finally committed or bound by any preliminary or informal approval or disapproval until such time as complete architectural and site development plans, specifications, materials and colors are submitted and approved or disapproved. The preliminary approval is offered as an accommodation only, and the Architectural Committee may set fees for this service. 7. Architectural and Site Development Plans. The Architectural Committee shall disapprove any architectural and site development plans submitted to it which do not contain sufficient information for it to exercise the judgement required of it by these Covenants. 8. Architectural Committee Not Liable. The Architectural Committee shall not be liable for damages to any person or entity submitting any plans for approval, or to any Owner of land within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision, by reason of any action, failure to act, approval, disapproval or failure to approve or disapprove with regard to such plans. The Architectural Committee shall have no liability or responsibility for any representations made to any Owner or prospective owner by any third parties. The decisions of the Architectural Committee shall be governed by these Covenants and any rules or regulations duly adopted by the Architectural Committee pursuant to these Covenants. 9. Written Records. The Architectural Committee shall keep and safeguard for at least five (5) years complete permanent written records of all approved applications, including one set of the finally approved architectural and site development plans and of all actions of approval or disapproval and all other formal actions taken by it under the provisions of this instrument. 10. Authority to Promulgate Rules and Regulations. The Architectural Committee shall promulgate and adopt rules and regulations necessary to implement these Covenants. These rules and regulations may include submission requirements concerning the type of information, reports, plans and specifications and other information necessary to make an informed decision regarding requests for development, modifications to buildings and the like. 6 Article 5. Restrictions and Protective Covenants 1. No Further Subdivision. No lot described on the recorded Plat of Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision shall ever be further subdivided into smaller lots or conveyed or encumbered in any less than the full dimensions as shown on the recorded Plat of Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision; provided, however, conveyances or dedications of easements for utilities may be made for less than all of one lot. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a lot line adjustment between two lots in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision shall be deemed a permitted subdivision, subject, however, to any reviews or disapprovals that may be required by the Garfield County Land Use Code. 2. Domestic Animals. The keeping of domestic animals shall be permitted on all lots within the Subdivision subject to any rules and regulations which may be promulgated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the keeping of farm animals shall only be permitted on Lots 7 and 8 of the Subdivision. All farm animals shall be kept in such a fashion that they do not constitute an annoyance to any lot Owners within the Subdivision. The owner of farm animals shall remove animal waste such that unpleasant odors do not impact other property owners. Farm animals shall not be permitted to overgraze such as to cause damage to natural vegetation or defoliation of any portion of any lot, except within the corral area on Lot 7. Trees and bushes shall be protected from farm animals to the greatest extent possible. In the event of overgrazing or defoliation from farm animals, the Homeowner's Association shall be entitled to require the reseeding, replanting or revegetating of any area and shall have the authority to require the lot Owner to remedy any such condition within a set period of time not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days. In the event the Owner does not correct the condition within that period of time, the Homeowner's Association shall be authorized to enter upon the land of the Owner violating these Covenants, repair the damage by all appropriate means, charge the offending Owner for all services, materials and equipment used in connection with such repair and recover an administrative fee equal to twenty percent (20%) of the cost of repairing the damage or One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), whichever is greater. The right of the Association to recover costs of such corrective work and the administrative fee shall be enforceable in accordance with the assessment and lien provisions of these Covenants. A lot Owner shall be entitled to keep a maximum of three (3) dogs on his property. Dogs shall be kept under the control of the Owner at all times and shall not be permitted to run free or to 7 cause a nuisance in the Subdivision. No dogs shall be allowed beyond the boundaries of the lot owned by the persons where the dog is housed unless accompanied by a person in full control of such dog. Dogs shall be leashed, chained, kenneled or housed at all times. The Homeowner's Association shall have the right to assess and enforce penalties against Owners violating these restrictions as follows: One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for the first violation committed by an Owner's dog and One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) plus an additional Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for each subsequent violation such that the fine increases in Fifty Dollar ($50.00) increments for each succeeding violation. Should any dog be caught chasing or molesting deer, elk, farm or domestic animals, the Homeowner's Association shall be authorized to prohibit the property Owner from continuing to maintain the offending animal on his property and may dispose of that animal, if necesary, to protect wildlife and farm and domestic animals in the area. Areas where an Owner keeps domestic animals shall be kept clean and free of refuse, insects and waste at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no domestic animals may be kept within a lot or the residences thereon which, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors or a committee selected by the Board of Directors for this purpose, results in any annoyance to residents in the vicinity. 3. Underground Utility Lines. With respect to the new construction or extension of any utilities, all water, sewer, gas, electrical, telephone, cable television and other utility pipes or lines within the limits of Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision shall be buried underground and not be carried on overhead poles or above the surface of the ground. Any areas of natural vegetation or terrain in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision disturbed by the burying of utility lines shall be revegetated by and at the expense of the Owner or Owners causing the installation of the utilities no later than the next growing season following installation. 4. Domestic Water. Domestic water for Lots 1 through 6 of the Subdivision shall be provided by means of individual wells drilled at the Owner's expense. No irrigation water rights are provided for these lots by Declarant; however, each owner shall have the right to purchase irrigation water from other sources, if such water is available. All use of water within Cedar Ridge Farm shall comply with all applicable terms and provisions of all decrees of Court, license agreements, laws, and regulations. 8 5. Service Yards and Trash. Equipment, service yards or storage piles on any lot may be permitted during construction if they receive Architectural Committee review approval. All rubbish and trash shall be removed from all lots in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision and shall not be allowed to accumulate and shall not be burned thereon. 6. No Mining, Drilling or Quarrying. Mining, quarrying, tunneling, excavating or drilling for any other substances within the earth, including oil, gas, minerals, gravel, sand, rock and earth, shall not be permitted within the limits of Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. However, the drilling of wells for domestic water shall be permitted on Lots 1 through 6, as provided for herein. 7. Trees. No Owner shall remove any healthy, living trees without first having obtained the approval of the Architectural Committee. All construction, landscaping and development on any lot shall seek to minimize the removal of trees and to preserve the natural trees and vegetation to the greatest extent possible. 8. Shiny Materials. No building or improvements shall contain exterior roofs or siding materials which are reflective or shiny. 9. Hunting. Hunting shall be prohibited within the Subdivision. With the approval of the Homeowner's Association, a lot Owner may, consistent with the requirements of law, destroy or remove wildlife which constitutes a nuisance. Article 6. Restrictions on Lots 1. Number and Location of Buildings. No building or uses shall be placed, erected, altered or permitted to remain on any lots except as approved by the Architectural Committee. 2. Completion of Construction. Any construction activity on any lot in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision shall be completed, fully cleaned up, and landscaped within eighteen (18) months from the issuance of a building permit, or shall obtain a variance from the Architectural Committee to allow for a longer period of construction upon proof of due diligence. In the event a variance is not secured and eighteen (18) months from issuance of a building permit has passed, the Association may assess penalties in any amount it deems appropriate. 3. Used or Temporary Structures. No used or previously erected or temporary house, structure, mobile home or trailer is permitted within the Subdivision other than those structures presently within the Subdivision. This prohibition shall not apply to construction trailers which shall be permitted for 9 eighteen (18) months or the issuance of a certificate of occu- pancy, whichever first occurs. Provided, however, construction trailers may only be used for construction, office and storage purposss and shall not be occupied as a residence. 4. Enclosure of Unsightly Facilities and Equipment. All unsightly structures, facilities, equipment and other items, including but not limited to those specified below, shall be enclosed within a solid, covered structure approved by the Architectural Committee. Any motor home, trailer, boat, truck, tractor, snow removal or garden equipment, and any similar items shall be kept at all times, except when in actual use, in an enclosed garage. Any refuse or trash containers, utility meters, propane tanks, fuel storage tanks or other facilities, service area, or storage pile shall be enclosed within a structure or appropriately screened from view by planting or opaque fencing approved by the Architectural Committee and adequate to conceal the same from neighbors, streets and private rods. No lumber, metals, bulk materials, scrap, refuse or trash shall be kept, stored or allowed to accumulate on any lot except building materials during the course of construction and only for such reasonable periods of time as are necessary prior to the collection of or disposal thereof. 5. Noxious or Offensive Activity or Sounds. No noxious or offensive activity or sounds shall be carried on upon any portion of Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision at any time nor shall anything be done or permitted which may be or become a nusiance to other property or to the Owners thereof by sight or sound. 6. Firearms. The discharge or shooting of firearms is prohibited in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision except as may be permitted by rules and regulations promulgated by the Board of Directors of the Association. 7. Commercial Activities Prohibited. No commercial activities or the storage of materials, goods, equipment and other items used or associated with commercial activities shall not be permitted on Lots 1 through 6 of the Subdivision. Provided, however, use of personal vehicles with a business name placed thereon shall be permitted. Subject to approval of the Homeowners Association, Owners shall be permitted to maintain an office within their residences so long as services are not provided to the public which result in the public coming to such residence on a regular basis. 10 8. Signs. No sign, graphic, or advertising device shall be placed upon the property, except a small sign or graphic, not larger than 6"x18", in a form and design approved by the Architec- tural Committee showing the owner's name or address, or both. "For Sale" signs may be placed on a lot subject to prior written approval of the Architectural Committee. Nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Declarant or Homeowner's Association to erect street identification signs, traffic control signs, and devices, and a sign identifying the subdivision. 9. Sewage Disposal. All sewage disposal facilities shall be installed and constructed according to the applicable standards of Garfield County and the State of Colorado at the expense of the lot owner. 10. Drainage Control. Each lot Owner shall provide culverts at any point where the driveway serving that lot joins or crosses any road, irrigation ditch, or drainage area. The Architectural Committee shall approve the size and design of the culvert. No building may be erected closer than fifteen (15) feet from any irrigation ditch, except upon prior written permission of the Declarant, Homeowners' Association or Water Company. No lateral irrigation ditch may be blocked in any way so as to impede the flow of water to or from adjoining lands. Lateral ditches may be relocated upon the prior written approval of the Declarant, Homeowners' Association or Water Company, which permission shall be granted only if the change does not adversely affect the flow of irrigation water to or from adjacent land. 11. General Restriction. All lots in the Subdivision shall comply with restrictions contained in any other section of these Protective Covenants. Article 7. Collection of Assessments - Enforcement 1. Assessments. All lot Owners shall be obligated to pay any assessments lawfully imposed by the Board of Directors of the Association. To the extent the Association is responsible therefor, assessments may be lawfully imposed for any items of common expense which may include, among other things: expenses and costs of maintaining, repairing, and plowing roads within and accessing the Subdivision; expenses of the Architectural Committee; and insurance, accounting and legal functions of the Association. The Board of Directors may establish contingency and reserve funds for the maintenance and improvement of the Association's roads and any other anticipated costs and expenses of the Association to be incurred in pursuit of its purpose. Contingency and reserve funds shall be in such an amount as the Board of 11 Directors may deem necessary and appropriate for the aforesaid purposes. Each Owner shall be required to pay his pro -rata portion of these funds. As used herein, an Owner's pro -rata portion of common expenses shall mean a fraction formed by the number of lots purchased and held by the lot Owner (numerator) and the number of lots in the Subdivision (denominator). The Board of Directors shall have the right during any calendar year to levy and assess against all of the Owners a special assessment for such purpose or purposes, in accordance with these Covenants, or the Articles or By -Laws of the Association, as may be necessary. Such special assessment shall be paid for in equal portions by the Owners obligated to pay such assessment and shall be due and payable as determined by the Board of Directors. 2. Lien for Non -Payment of Assessments. All sums assessed by the Board of Directors, including without limitation, the share of common expense assessments chargeable to any lot Owner, any fines which may be levied on a lot Owner and unpaid common utility fees and assessments charged to a lot Owner shall constitute a lien against such lot superior (prior) to all other liens and encumbrances, excepting only: (a) Tax and special assessment liens on the lots in favor of any governmental assessing unit; and (b) All sums unpaid on a first mortgage of record, including any unpaid obligatory sums as may be provided by encumbrance. If any assessment shall remain unpaid after thirty (30) days after the due date thereof, such unpaid sums shall bear interest from and after the due date thereof at the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, or at such rate as is determined by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors may impose a late charge on such defaulting Owner as may be established by the Board. In addition, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to collect reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with any demands for payment and/or collection of delinquent assessments. To evidence such lien, the Board of Directors shall prepare a written notice setting forth the amount of such unpaid indebtedness, the name of the Owner of the lot and its legal description. Such a notice shall be signed by one (1) of the Board of Directors and shall be recorded in the offices of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Garfield, Colorado. Such lien may be enforced by foreclosure of the defaulting Owner's lot by the Association in like manner as a mortgage on real property, upon the recording of a notice of claim thereof. In any such 12 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 foreclosure, the Owner shall be required to pay the costs and expenses of such proceedings, the costs and expenses for filing the notice or claim of lien and all reasonable attorneys' fees. The Owner shall also be required to pay to the Association any additional assessments against the lot during the period of foreclosure, and the Association shall be entitled to the appoint- ment of a receiver to collect the same. The Board of Directors, for the Association, shall have the power to bid on the lot at foreclosure sale and acquire and hold, lease, mortgage and convey same. The Association, at its election, and in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, may also sue an Owner personally to collect any monies owed the Association. c. Any recorded lien for non-payment of the common expenses may be released by recording a release of lien executed by a member of the Board of Directors. 3. Enforcement Actions. The Association, acting by and through its Board of Directors, shall have the right to prosecute any action to enforce the provisions of all of these Covenants by injunctive relief, on behalf of itself and all or part of the Owners of the lands within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. In addition, each Owner of land within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision, including the Association, shall have the right to prosecute any action for injunctive relief and for damages by reason of any violation of these Covenants. The prevailing party in any enforcement action shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to assess penalties for late payment of assessments due the Association and to collect interest thereon at rates to be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. 4. Limitations on Actions. In the event any construction or alteration or landscaping work is commenced upon any of the lands in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision in violation of these Covenants and no action is commenced within one (1) year there- after to restrain such violation, then injunctive or equitable relief shall be denied, but an action for damages shall still be available to any party aggrieved. This one (1) year limitation shall not apply to injunctive or equitable relief against other violations of these Covenants. Article 8. Easements 1. Easements Shown on Plat. The Association is entitled to use such easements as are reflected on the final Plat for the Subdivision. Except by agreement with a property Owner, the Association shall have no obligation to pay any amount for the use and enjoyment of such easement. The association shall pay for the cost of maintaining and repairing any improvements which it places on any easements. 13 2. Easements for Access and Repairs. The Association shall be entitled to an easement across any of the lots within the Subdivision for the purposes of accessing any of the Association's property, protecting any Association property or for necessary repairs or emergency circumstances. The Association may access all lots within the Subdivision to determine compliance with the conditions of approvals of the Subdivision granted by the Garfield County Commissioners and to determine and enforce compliance with all of the provisions of these covenants. Article 9. General Provisions 1. Covenants to Run. All of the covenants contained in this instrument shall be a burden on the title to all of the lands in the Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision, and the benefits thereof shall inure to the Owners of the lands in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision and the benefits and burdens of all said covenants shall run with the title to all of the lands in Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. 2. Amendment of Covenants. These Covenants may be amended by a vote of seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes entitled to be cast by the members of the Association, said vote to be cast at a meeting of the members duly held, provided a properly certified copy of the resolution of amendment be placed on record in Garfield County, Colorado, not more than six (6) months after said meeting. 3. Severability. Should any part or parts of these Covenants be declared invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining covenants. 4. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings in this instrument are for convenience only and shall not be construed to be a part of the covenants contained herein. 5. Limited Liability. The Association and the Board shall not be liable to any party for any action or for any failure to act with respect to any matter if the action taken or failure to act was in good faith without malice. The Owners severally agree to indemnify the Association and the Board against loss resulting from such action or failure to act if the Association and the Board acted or failed to act in good faith and without malice. 14 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Declaration of Protective Covenants for Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision has been executed as of the day and year first above written.

It is the intent that this report meet requirements of the Garfield County Sub- division regulations with respect to the Preliminary Plan submittal. This summary is based on two previous reports prepared for the prop- erty. The first was prepared by Lincoln DeVore on May 7, 1981, for construction of the indoor riding arena located on proposed Int 7. The second report was prepared by Chen -Northern, Inc. on June 7, 1990, for construction of a single-family residence on proposed Lot 6. This summary is also based on a site survey performed by myself as well as my general knowledge of the area. In summary, it is my professional opinion that the conditions through- out the site are accurately reflected in the two previously -referenced geotechnic reports. There does not appear to be any geologic insta- bilities which would affect the proposed building sites. There is also no apparent radiation hazards which might exist on the site. We anticipate that standard individual sewage disposal systems (ISOs) will be able to be constructed at the proposed building sites. The Lincoln DeVore report summarizes the geologic setting of the prop- erty. The deeper formational materials underlying the site are the Eagle Valley and Maroon formations. It is unlikely that either of these formations would be exposed during the course of construction of either the access road or excavations for individual residences. The shallower formational material is a basalt rock formation. This for- mation was encountered at depths of six to fifteen feet on Lot 7, but was not encountered during the excavations to ten feet on Lot 6. We do not anticipate that this formational material will be encountered in Lots 1 through 5. The formation does not present any restraints to construction of single-family residences with the exception of requiring special consideration for ISES if encountered. The site soils are predominately clays and silts. The soils encoun- tered at the two sites show a moderate range of densitites, gradations and permeabilities. All the soils encountered are capable of support- ing the types of loadings anticipated for single-family residential July 24, 1990 Ms. Sandra Smith Page two construction. Based upon our site analysis, we anticipate that the soils identified in the two soils reports are representative of soils to be found over the remainder of the site. With respect to ISDS, there was no free water encountered during the site excavations. There are no water courses across the property site although there is an active irrigation ditch which runs along the east side of Lots 1 through 4. The anticipated building sites and locations of ISDS's are such that it is not anticipated groundwater levels will prevent standard ISDS systems to be constructed on these lots. A further summary of the soils types on the property based on Soil Conservation Service (SCS) classifications is attached to this report. Based on the two geotechnic reports and SCS classifications, we antici- pate that standard ISDS systems will be feasible on all lot locations. In the event that restraints at specific sites prevent standard systems from being installed, it will be possible to construct engineered systems, either a mound or evapotranspiration -type system, at each of the sites. It will therefore be possible to construct an ISMS meeting Garfield County Health Regulations at all of the proposed lot locations. The Sketch Plan approval had recommended that percolation tests be taken at each proposed lot. We do not concur with that recommendation. Because of the size of the lots and potential building site locations, it is unlikely the exact location of future drainfields can be antici- pated and, therefore, the expense and time to perform six (6) sets of percolation tests cannot be justified. Tests not done at the sites of future drainfields may yeild misleading information. The requirement is also not necessarily consistent with conditions for other rural subdivisions. There is a functioning ISLES serving the riding arena and existing resi- dences on Lot 7 and at the residence to the north of Lot 1. A perco- lation test is being done shortly at the proposed residence on Lot 6 and will be submitted to the Planning Department as a supplemental document. An analysis of that test result will be included at that time. I remain available to provide additional information as required with respect to geologic and soils characteristics across the subdivision site. Respectfully submitted, SCHMUESER GCRDON MEYER, INC.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF STUDY This report presents the results of a subsoil study for a proposed residence to be located at 3059 County Road 103, Carbondale, Colorado. The project site is shown on Fig. 1. The purpose of the study was to develop recommendations for the foundation design. The study was conducted in accordance with our agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Sandy Smith, dated May 18, 1990. A field exploration program consisting of exploratory pits was conducted to obtain information on subsurface conditions. Samples obtained during the field exploration were tested in the laboratory to determine their engineering characteristics. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing were analyzed to develop recommendations for foundation types, depths and allowable pressures for the proposed building foundation. The results of the field exploration and laboratory testing are presented in the report. This report has been prepared to summarize the data obtained during this study and to present our conclusions and recommendations based on the proposed construction and the subsoil conditions encountered. Design parameters and a discussion of geotechnical engineering considerations related to construction of the proposed residence are included in the report. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -2- PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION The proposed residence will be a 1 1/2 story wood frame structure with slab -on -grade floors. The proposed slab will extend out over the stem walls. Grading for the structure is expected to be relatively minor with cut depths between about 3 to 4 feet. We assume relatively light foundation loadings, typical of the proposed type construction. If building loadings, location or grading plans change significantly from those described above, we should be notified to reevaluate the recommendations contained in this report. SITh CONDITIONS The subject property is located at the top of a relatively flat knoll on a north -south trending ridge. Moderate downslopes away from the knoll exist in all directions, but only about a few feet in elevation difference exists in the building area. Vegetation cover in the area consists of scatterP1 trees and sagebrush, grasses and weeds. A dry irrigation ditch lies Past of the site. ' FIELD EXPLORATION / 1 1 1 1 1 1 The field exploration for the project was conducted on May 16, 1990. Two exploratory pits were excavated at the locations shown on Fig. 1 to evaluate the subsurface conditions. The pits were excavated with a Case 680 backhoe. The pits were logged by a representative of Chen -Northern, Inc. Small disturbed bag samples and 2 -inch I.D. hand driven liner samplers were taken of the subsoils. Depths at which the samples were taken are shown on the Lags of Exploratory Pits, Fig. 2. The samples were returned to our laboratory for review by the project engineer and testing. -3 - SUBSOIL CONDi1IONS The subsoil conditions encountered at the site are shown graphically on Fig. 2. The subsoils consist of a thin section of topsoil overlying medium stiff clays and silts. Medium dense sandy silts and silty sands were encountered in Pit 2 at 8 feet, and these soils existed to the maximum depth explored, 10 1/2 feet. Laboratory testing performed on samples obtained flow the pits included standard properties, swell -consolidation potential and gradation analyses. Swell -consolidation test results, shown on Figs. 4 and 5, indicate that the clay and silt deposit has a moderate or moderately high settlement potential under light load after wetting. Results of a gradation analysis performed on a small disturbed sample of the lower silts and sands are shown on Fig. 6. The laboratory testing is summarized in Table I. No free water was encountered in the pits at the time they were excavated and the subsoils were slightly moist. FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the exploratory pits and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend the building be founded with spread footings bearing on the natural silt and clay soils. There will be a risk of settlement due to compressibility of the soils after wetting which could cause some building distress. The design and construction criteria presented below should be observed for a spread footing foundation system. The construction criteria should be considered when preparing project documents. 1) Footings placed on the undisturbed natural silt and clay soils should be designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of 1000 psf. Based on -4- experience, we expect initial settlement of footings designed and constructed as discussed in this section will be relatively minor (less than 1/2 inch). If wetting of the bearing soils were to occur, additional settlement of about 1 to 2 inches is possible. The magnitude of settlement would depend on the depth of wetting. 2) All existing fill, topsoil and any loose or disturbed soils should be removed and the footing bearing level extended down to relatively undisturbed natural soils. Footings should bear a minimum depth of 3 feet below the existing ground surface. The footing subgrade should be moistened and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density. 3) The footings should have a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and 2 feet for isolated pads. 4) Exterior footings and footings beneath unheated areas should be provided with adequate soil cover above their bearing elevation for frost protection. Placement of foundations at least 36 inches below exterior grade is typically used in this area. 5) Continuous foundation walls should be reinforced top and bottom to span an unsupported length of at least 10 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures should also be designed to resist a lateral earth pressure corresponding to an equivalent fluid unit weight of 50 pcf. 6) A representative of the soil engineer should observe all footing excavations prior to concrete placement to evaluate bearing conditions. -5 - FLUOR SLABS The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly to moderately loaded slab -on -grade construction. There is a risk of slab settlement due to wetting of the subsoils. To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be separated from all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical movement. If the slab extends out over the stem walls, as is proposed, the slab should be thickened and additional reinforcement placed in the portions of the slab that transition flow the subgrade to the top of the stem wall. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce damage due to shrinkage cracking. The requirements for control joints and slab reinforcement should be established by the designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A 4 -inch layer of fine graded gravel may be placed beneath floor slabs to facilitate grading and drainage. This material should consist of minus 2 -inch aggregate with less than 50% passing the No. 4 sieve and less than 12% passing the No. 200 sieve. All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock. SURFACE DRAINAGE The following drainage precautions should be observed during construction and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed: 1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be avoided during construction. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 -6- 2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the maximum standard Proctor density in landscape areas. 3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We recommend a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved areas and a minimum slope of 3 inches in the first 10 feet in paved areas. 4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all backfill. 5) Landscaping which requires regular heavy irrigation such as sod should be located beyond the perimeter wall backfill or about 10 feet. LIMITATIONS This report has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted soil and foundation engineering practices in this area for use by the client for design purposes. The conclusions and reconunendations submitted in this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the locations indicated on Fig. 1 and the proposed type of construction. The nature and extent of subsurface variations across the site may not become evident until excavation is performed. If during construction, fill, soil, rock or water conditions appear to be different from those described herein, this office should be advised at once so reevaluation of the recommendations may be made. -7- We recommend on-site obcervation of excavations and foundation bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a Sincerely, CHEN-NORTHERN, INC.

Topographically, the site is approxi- mately level with a gentle slope (0 to 5 degrees) downward to the northwest. Some grasses were noted on the site which is in a stable, low erosion potential area. Site soils consisted of fine grained silts and clays and of weathered basaltic rock as a sandy gravel stratum. Bedrock consists of basalt believed to overlie deeper rock strata of the Eagle Valley and Maroon Formations. Maximum bearing pressures of 3000 and 5000 psf are recommended for foun- dations on the fine grained soils and the sandy gravel or rock, respectively. On the fine grained soils, minimum pressures of 1500 psf may be necessary due to the varying swell pressures of these materials. All foundations must be well balanced and heavily reinforced to minimize differential movement. All floor slabs on grade must be constructed to act independently of other structural portions of the buildings. Adequate drainage must be provided at all times. Water should never be allowed to stand or pond above the foundation materials. A subsurface peripheral drain shall be placed around the exterior of the structure at the -1- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 foundation level, connected to the bottom of floor slabs or sur- face of the ground with a gravel -vertical drain on the exterior of the wall. A Type II Cement would be recom- mended in all concrete in contact with the soil on this site. More detailed recommendations can be found within the body of this report. All recommendations will be subject to the limitations set forth herein. GENERAL: This laboratory has been informed that the soils information developed in this report is to be used for the design and construction of an indoor riding arena. The information may or may not be valid for other purposes. If the proposed use is changed or types of construction proposed other than noted herein, the laboratory must be contacted to determine if the information in this report can be used for the new construction without further investigation being required. The site is located in the southwest quarter of Section 12, Township 7 South, Range 88 West, north of Carbondale in Garfield County, Colorado. As we understand it, the proposed construction at this location will consist of a pole type structure of steel framing and metal sheathed walls. Planned foundation support typically consists of an auger -drilled pier extending at least 4 feet below grade. No stem walls or grade beams are planned since wall coverings will be suspended on the purlins and columns. Maximum column loads will be on the order of -2- 20 kips. Floor slabs on grade will be used in 6000 square feet of the 150 by 200 foot building, with no slabs in most areas, or about 24,000 square feet of earth floor. The site topography is approximately level, with a gentle slope to the northwest. The site is located within an area of fair to good surface drainage. This is, roughly, the lower portion of a small valley that carried runoff and snowmelt water into Cattle Creek and eventually into the Roaring Fork River. No significant stability problems are anti- cipated in the site which is level and well away from any land- slide or potential slide areas. We understand, from the building contractor, that cuts and fills at extreme ends of the building could be on the order of 6 feet or slightly more. At the time of this report, we were informed that site prepartion was in pro- gress using push fill without engineering control in the filled areas. The site soils are predominantly colluvial silt and clays, cemented as caliche in some locations overlying colluvial, sandy gravel. Formational material, encoun- tered at depths of 6 to 15 feet at the time of drilling, was a Basalt of Tertiary Age. Basalt rock is an igneous formation, sometimes intrusions and often igneous flows in this region. It is generally hard and stable and, at this site, exhibits rela- tively little weathering. This Basalt flow is of unknown thick- ness and overlies the Eagle Valley and Maroon Formations in the general area. Basalt usually weathers to a clay. BORINGS, LABORATORY TESTS AND RESULTS: Three test borings were drilled across the building site and are located approximately as shown on the attached Test Boring Location Diagram. The test borings were placed in such a manner as to obtain a reasonably good pro- file of the subsurface soils. All test borings were drilled with a power -driven, continuous auger drill. Samples were taken with a standard split -spoon sampler, and by bulk methods. The soils profile is generally a 3 -layer system consisting of a surface layer of moderate density, fine grained soils (Soil Types No. 1, 2 and 4) overlying a high density layer of sandy gravel with some sandy, silty clay (Soil Type No. 3). The third layer is the hard Basalt formational rock. The precise gradational and plasti- city characteristics associated with the soils encountered during drilling can be found on the attached summary sheets. The repre- sentative number for each soil group is indicated in a small circle immediately below the sampling point on the Drilling Logs. The following discussion of the soil groups will be general in nature. Soil Type No. 1 classified as a silty clay of very fine grain size. The similar Soil Type No. 2 is also silty clay with more fine sands and of moderate density. These soils have a varying tendency to expand upon the addition of moisture with swell pressures on the order of 700 to 1340 psf being considered typical. While this magnitude of expansion should not be sufficient to affect the heavy structural members -4- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 of the building, it can cause some movement beneath light struc- tural members and floor slabs on grade. These soils will have a slight tendency to long-term consolidate under applied foundation pressures. However, if the allowable bearing values given are not exceeded, we feel that differential movement would be tolerable. This soil group was found to have an allowable bearing value on the order of 3000 psf maximum. Because of variations in swell pressures, a minimum design pressure of 1500 psf is recommended. Soil Type No. 3 was sandy gravel with some silt and clay. The material was of relatively high density with very low or no expansive potential. A maximum bearing pressure of 5000 psf is feasible on this material, with no minimum load required. Soil Type No. 4 was sandy, clayey silt of moderate density and plasticity. This material was cemented with caliche, a calcium carbonate compound that can leach out of the soil when very wet and result in subsidence of the soil mass. Some swell potential, typically 645 psf, was also determined. A maximum bearing pressure of 3000 psf was recom- mended for this material, with a minimum of 750 psf. Soil moisture control at and below footings is also very important, particularly because subsurface drainage appears to be poor. No free water was encountered during drilling on this site. True free water should be fairly deep in this area, and hence, should not affect construction assuming that surface drainage is properly controlled. -5- CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Since the exact magnitude and nature of the foundation loads are not precisely known at the present time, the following recommendations must be somewhat general in nature. Any special loads or unusual design conditions should be reported to Lincoln-DeVore so that changes in these recommen- dations may be made, if necessary. However, based upon our ana- lysis of the soil conditions and project characteristics pre- viously outlined, the following recommendations are made. Most of the native soils encountered at the site are suitable to support shallow foundations at a maximum bearing pressure of 3000 psf and a minimum pressure of 1500 psf to resist the potential swell (under a structure in place) of the fine grained soils. The proposed short drilled pier foundation should be constructible at this site, designed for these recommended pressures. Foundations should extend through any fill materials to bear on native soils of all types. The short piers should rest on the granular soils of Soil Type No. 3. We will not present any alternative shallow foundations that are also feasible. We understand that arrangements have already been made with a caisson drilling con- tractor, pending final drilled pier designs based on the soils information in this report. The bottoms of all piers should be thoroughly cleaned prior to the placement of, concrete. The amount of reinforcing required in each pier will depend upon the magnitude and nature of loads involved. However, as a rule of -6- thumb, reinforcement equal to approximately .07 of the gross cross-sectional concrete areas should be utilized. Additional reinforcing'should be used if structural consideration is so warranted. Reinforcement over the entire shaft length would be recommended. The horizontal thrust normally generated at the foundation line by rigid frame buildings should not be resisted by "hairpins" embedded into the floor slabs where slabs on grade are used. This horizontal force should be resisted by either threaded tie rods or reinforcing bars extending from pier to opposite pier below the finished floor slab line. All fasteners should be either encased in concrete or covered with a heavy coat of bituminous paint to ensure long-term stability. The bottom of all foundation com- ponents should rest a minimum of 4 feet below finished grade or as required by the local building codes. Foundation components must not be placed on frozen soils. Where floor slabs are used, they may be placed directly on grade or over a compacted gravel blanket of 4 to 6 inches in thickness. Under no circumstances should this gravel pad be allowed to act as a water trap beneath the floor slab. A vapor barrier is recommended beneath any and all floor slabs on grade which will lie below the finished exterior ground surface. All fill placed beneath the interior floor slabs must be compacted to at least 90% of its maximum Proctor dry density, ASTM -D-698. All floor slabs on grade must be constructed to act independently of the other structural portions -7- of the building. These floor slabs should contain deep construc- tion or contraction joints to facilitate even breakage and to help minimize any unsightly cracking which could result from dif- ferential movement. Floor slabs on grade should be placed in sections no greater than 25 feet on a side. Prior to constructing slabs on grade, all existing topsoil and organics must be removed from the building interior. Likewise, all foun- dations must penetrate the topsoil layer. Any interior, non -load bearing par- titions which will be constructed to rest on the floor slab should be constructed with a minimum space of 2 inches at either the top or bottom of the wall. The bottom of the wall would be the preferred location for this space. This space will allow for any future potential expansion of the subgrade soils and will prevent damage to the wall and/or roof section above which could be caused by this movement. There will probably be no non- bearing partitions extending from floor to ceiling. Adequate drainage must be provided in the foundation area both during and after construction to pre- vent the ponding of water. The ground surface around the building should be graded so that surface water will be carried quickly away from the structure. The minimum gradient within 10 feet of the building will depend upon surface landscaping. Bare or paved areas should maintain a minimum gradient of 2%, while landscaped areas should maintain a minimum gradient of 5%. Roof drains must be carried across all backfilled. areas and discharged well away from the structure. This surface drainage is par- ticularly important to prevent both swelling of foundation soils -8- and leaching of the caliche from soils similar to Soil Type Nd. 4 that can occur with saturation of subgrade materials. To give the building extra lateral stability and to aid in the rapidity of runoff, all backfill around the building and in utility trenches in the vicinity of the structure should be compacted to at least 90% of its maximum Proctor dry density, ASTM D-598. The native sandy gravel encoun- tered on this site may be used for backfilling purposes, if so desired. All backfill must be compacted to the required density by mechanical means. No waterflooding techniques of any type should be used in the placement of fill on this site or borrow materials similar to Soil Type No. 3. Although cuts of up to 6 feet have been mentioned at the uphill portion of the building, no retain- ing walls appear to be planned at this time that would be over 5 feet in height. For such walls under 5 feet, normal stem wall proportions and reinforcing would probably be adequate for the relatively stable soils. Such a stem wall would typically be extended into foundation soils and designed as a "no footing" or stem wall on grade type foundation within the limitations set forth above for foundation design. Because a subsurface water trap would form behind (uphill of) such a wall in the backfill, a sub- surface peripheral drain, including an adequate gravel collector, sand filter and perforated drain pipe, should be constructed out- side the building perimeter at the bottom of the wall. The discharge pipe should be given free gravity outlet to "daylight" or ground surface. -9- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Excavation into the surficial, tine grained soils should not be difficult, but drilling into Soil Type No. 3'will present a moderate degree of difficulty due to the high density and possible cobble sized rocks that could occur. If Basalt is reached in some locations, extreme dif- ficulty is likely for drilling in the weathered portion, with no progress likely in the hard, unweathered Basalt. The soils on this site were found to contain sulfates in detrimental quantities. Therefore, a Type II Cement would be recommended in all concrete in contact with the soil. Under no circumstances should calcium chloride ever be added to a Type II Cement. In the event that Type II Cement is difficult to obtain, a Type I Cement may be used, but only if it is protected from the soils by an impermeable membrane. The open foundation excavation must be inspected prior to the pouring of concrete to establish that adequate design bearing materials have been reached and that no debris, soft spots or areas of unusually low density are located within the foundation region. It is believed that all pertinent points concerning the subsurface soils on this site have been covered in this report.

II. FINDINGS OF FACT The Application herein for the approval of a Plan for Augmentation and for underground water rights was filed 'during the month of December, 1981; notice thereof was given according to law and the Water Referee in this Court has jurisdiction of the Application. Statements of opposition herein were filed in timely fashion by the City of Aspen and the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, John G. Powers, Union Oil Company of California, Southeastern Water Conservancy District, and the State Engineer. • Applicant and Union Oil Company and Southeastern Water Conservancy District have previously stipulated as to terms for the withdrawal of Union Oil's opposition statement and the opposition statements of the City of Aspen, Pitkin County and John G. Powers have previously been withdrawn. III. The time within which to file additional Statements of Opposition has expired. IV. Applicant seeks approval for a Plan of Augmentation to enable Applicant to provide a water supply to her proposed Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision located about four (4) miles northeast of Carbondale in the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 13, Township 7 South, Range 87 West of the 6th P.M., in Garfield County, Colorado. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 V. VI. VII. VIII. Applicant proposed to furnish water to the individual lots in said subdivision through the construction and use of the proposed Cedar Ridge Farm Wells Nos. 1 through 7. Applicant seeks adjudication of conditional underground water rights for the seven (7) wells described in Paragraph XIII below. Applications for permit to construct the seven (7) subject wells mentioned herein have been submitted to the Colorado Division of Water Resources and more than six (6) months have expired with the State Engineer neither granting nor denying the subject well permit application. Applicant, therefore, also seeks a Decree ordering the State Engineer to issue well permits consistent with the terms and conditions of this Decree. The source of supply for the seven (7) subject wells is Cattle Creek alluvium. Applicant proposed to replace depletions incurred by the operation of the proposed wells with water available to applicant by virtue of its acquisition of a perpetual license from Carbondale Land Development Corporation (CLDC) for 0.9 acre feet of excess augmentation water, decreed in Case No. 79CW97 in Water Division No. 5, together with the 1.0 acre feet per year of Ruedi Reservoir water for replacement purposes acquired by Applicant from the Basalt Water Conservancy District on December 17, 1981 pursuant to and as a portion of the District's contract for 500 acre feet of Ruedi Reservoir water with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation dated May 13, 1982. All releases of augmentation water are to be made at the discretion of the Division Engineer or Water Commissioner. The lands to be dried up by CLDC are located in the south 1/2 of Section 14, Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the 6th P.M., and the quantity of water available to CLDC pursuant to 79CW97 is hereafter diminished by 0.9 acre feet. The waters diverted through the proposed wells will be used by applicant in the subdivision for domestic purposes to include single family in-house uses, non-commercial lawn and garden irrigation for .04 acres, fire protection and watering of livestock. -2- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 f IX. X. The total annual consumptive use of the water diverted from the proposed wells for the purposes described above will be approximately 1.26 acre feet per year, and it is hereby found that the licensed water from CLDC for the perpetual use of 0.9 acre feet of adjudicated augmentation water, together with the Ruedi Reservoir replacement water, obtained by applicant by the Basalt District will be adequate to compensate for the annual water consumptable.use by applicant in the proposed Plan for the development, all as is specifically set forth at paragraph II of applicant's application. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW The Plan for Augmentation, as proposed herein and as conditioned and limited hereby, will maximize applicant's beneficial use of water within operation of the priority system, without injuriously affecting the owner of or persons entitled to use water under vested water rights or decreed conditional water rights. XI. The Plan decreed herein is administerable. NOW, THEREFORE, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED as follows: The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Decree. XII.

Groundwater Resources This analysis is based upon a review of records available to us from the State Engineer's Office, discussions we have had with the local well drillers and our general knowledge this part of Garfield County. Attached hereto, also, is a letter from Mr. Wayne Shelton of Shelton Drilling who has drilled a number of wells in the immediate area of Cedar Ridge Farm as well as a copy of the well log for the well which currently serves the riding arena and single-family residence located onLot 7. As stated in the geologic analysis for the property, the property is characterized by alluvial/colluvial materials which overlay bedrock formations of basaltic origin and the deeper Maroon formation. There are two potential groundwater resources on the property. The first would be wells on the order of 0 - 100 feet completed in the alluvial formations alongside the existing roadway on Lot 8. The potential for groundwater resource comes from the significant drainage area located above this area. Generally, we would not recolt®uend that wells be completed in the alluvial formations because of their dependence on seasonal precipitation quantities and irrigation practices in the basin above. The second source would be in the bedrock formations. Generally, wells completed in the basaltic formations have better water quality and higher yields than those located in the Maroon formations, and we would anticipate that drilled wells on this property would be terminated in the basaltic bedrock formations. The existing well on Lot 7 is prob- ably a bedrock well and is reported to be on the order of 186 feet in depth. It is also reported that the estimated capacity is 50 gpn. Generally, we would not anticipate yields of this magnitude from drilled wells but, rather, yields on the order of 5 to 25 gpm. Water quality is usually satisfactory from wells drilled in these formations. Seldom are any of the Colorado Primary Drinking Water Standard quanti- ties exceeded. Typically, however, the water from these wells tends to be classified as "hard" with respect to mineral content and high in dissolved solids. The option remains with the homeowner as to whether water softening and/or removal of individual minerals is desirable. July 16, 1990 Ms. Sandra Smith Page two We are anticipating that a test well will be completed on Lot 6 the week of July 23rd or July 30th. We have held off any additional water quality sampling on the property with the intent to sample this well immediately after construction. we hope to have these water quality samples returned to the Planning Office well in advance of the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on the Preliminary Plat Submittal. In summary, there are a number of producing wells in the immediate vicinity of this property, including one well on the property itself. We anticipate a high degree of probability that individual drilled wells can be completed as a satisfactory potable water source for all the lots proposed. Fire Protection I have been working with Mr. Bill Gavette, Chief, Carbondale Rural and Fire Protection District, with regards to the conditions which were contained in the Sketch Plan approval. The first of these was inclus- ion into the Fire Protection District. From what Bill and I can deter- mine, the property has, in fact, been annexed to the District since the Sketch Plan approval in the early 1980's. The second condition was to develop a fire protection plan for the project. A cistern has been agreed to and shown on the Site Plan. I will remain available to provide additional input as required with respect to a potable water supply system for the project. Respectfully submitted, SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. De., W.

After studying my well records and state well records for this area it is my opinion that an adequate aquifer does exist in this area at a depth of between 180 to 300 feet, depending on local elevation changes. Most local wells are producing in the 15 to 20 gpm range and some have been producing at that level since the 1960's. We have had very good results in obtaining good quality and quantity water from the Volcanic Aquifer or the underlaying Maroon Aquifer in the Missouri Heights area. However, as with all potential aquifers there are occasional extremes in depth and production but I feel that in this case the probabilities of these extremes are very small. If you have any questions please give me a call. Sincerely, 1 F• Cl TI_IL— 1= — .9 FR.

Purpose The purpose of this management plan is to provide for regular oper- ation and maintenance of the individual sewage disposal systems. The management plan provides a mechanism for regular pumping of septic tanks and for funding the cost thereof. This management plan is not intended to provide for common ownership of sewage dis- posal facilities, nor to provide a mechanism for funding for, or the actual construction of, replacement of individual systems. B. Responsibility of Management Plan The management plan shall be the responsibility of the Cedar Ridge Farm Homeowners Association. The Homeowners Association shall make arrangements with a septic tank pumping company for the pumping of septic tanks on a two-year, rotating basis. C. Funding The Cedar Ridge Farm Homeowners Association will collect, as part of the Association dues, sufficient funds to pay for the bi-annual pumping of septic tanks. The amount of funds collected shall be adjusted as necessary to pay for the cost of the management plan. D. Individual Homeowner Responsibilities 1. Provide access to the septic tank for purposes of cleaning. 2. Pump septic tank more frequently, if required, based on actual use. 3. Initially install, and subsequently replace, failed leach field systems as required, all in accordance with applicable Garfield County Health Codes. EXHIBIT H I SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER INC. July 24, 1990 Ms. Sandra Smith 3059 103 Road Carbondale, CO 81623 RE: Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision Traffic Generation Summary Dear Sandy: 1001 Grand Avenue, Suite 2-E Glenwood Springs, Colorado 81601 (303) 945-1004 (303) 925-6501 Fax (303) 945-5948 CONSULTING ENGINEERS & SURVEYORS/ The purpose of this report is to summarize the projected traffic that will be generated from the proposed Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. This report will also discuss the design for the interior roadway of the project. Traffic generation estimates have been taken from the latest edition of the Institution of Traffic Engineers "ITE" edition. A summary of the projected traffic generation is as follows: 1. Single-family residences, existing (both within the project and adjacent to the project) 2 units @ 7 VPD/unit = 14 VPD 2. Single-family residences, proposed 5 units @ 7 VPD/unit = 35 VPD 3. Existing riding arena 20 VPD Total 69 VPD* * Vehicles per day It is proposed that the internal roadway be constructed with a 24 -foot platform, consisting of two 10 -foot travel lanes and two 2 -foot shoulders. The roadway design speed is 25 mph. The platform recom- mended is adequate to allow two-way traffic at the design speed. The existing roadway varies in width between 16 and 20 feet. The existing driveway currently serves the riding stable and two existing resi- dences. The existing roadway has functioned adequately in the past. The additional traffic loading on the roadway system will not be sig- nificant, and it is felt that the additional platform provided will continue to provide satisfactory service from an access standpoint. It is our opinion that a wider roadway platform will not provide any necessary increased traffic capacity or contribute to the safety of the roadway; a wider platform will, on the other hand, result in a severe visual scar on the property without benefit. It is the Owner's desire to avoid the negative aesthetic effects of a wider roadway platform. The roadway will be provided with a K -turn turn -around for emergency July 24, 1990 Ms. Sandra Smith Page two and fire equipment use. Please also note that there is adequate turn -around in the parking area of the riding arena for such purposes as well. It is proposed that the roadway be a gravel surface roadway, consistent with Sketch Plan approval,with a structural section of eight inches of crushed aggregate gravels. Generally, the roadway will be constructed by widening the existing roadway to the inside, or cut, side of the roadway. There is very little opportunity to widen the roadway platform to the outside or fill side of the roadway and avoid small sliver fills which will ultimately require additional maintenance for potential differential settlement. We will remain available to provide further information as required concerning the design of the internal roadway system. Respectfully submitted, SCHMUESER G3RDON MEYER, INC. DWG:lec/90083 CEDAR RIDGE FARM SUBDIVISION ROADWAY MANAGEMENT PLAN A. Purpose The purpose of this Roadway Management Plan is to provide for regular maintenance of the common roadway known as Cedar Ridge Farm Road. The Management Plan provides a mechanism for maintenance for the roadway surface and removal of snow. B. Responsibility of Management Plan The Management Plan shall be the responsibility of the Cedar Ridge Farm Homeowners Association. The homeowners association shall make arrangements with local roadway contractors for regular snow removal during the winter time and for maintenance of the roadway surface on an as -needed basis throughout the year. C. Funding The Cedar Ridge Farm Homeowners Association will collect, as part of the association dues, sufficient funds to pay for needed roadway maintenance and snow removal. The amount of funds collected shall be adjusted as necessary to pay for the cost of the Management Plan. D. Responsibility of Individual Homeowners Each homeowner shall be responsible for maintenance and snow removal of individual driveways. Homeowners shall be responsible for placement of and maintenance of culverts placed underneath driveways which access Cedar Ridge Farm Road. No driveway shall be placed across a roadside drainage ditch without a minimum 15" x 20' culvert placed beneath the driveway.
