B. Soils.
- See Exhibit "D".
C. 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.

intention of Ms. Sandy Smith (hereinafter the "Declarant"),
expressed by her execution of this instrument that the lands
within Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision be developed and maintained as
a highly desirable scenic residential area, with existing uses
permitted to remain. It is the purpose of these Covenants that

Article 4. Architectural Committee
1. Architectural Committee. The Architectural Committee
shall be composed of between three and five persons. Prior to
Declarant's sale of any lot in the Subdivision, Declarant may
appoint the members of the Architectural Committee who need not be
owners, at Declarant's sole discretion, and the Board of Directors
shall have no authority to remove any member so appointed.
Upon the sale of the fourth lot in the Subdivision, the
members of the Architectural Committee shall be appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Association. 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

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.

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.

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

time as are necessary prior to the collection of or disposal
thereof.
5. Noxious or Offensive Activity or Sounds. No noxious or

the public which result in the public coming to such residence on
a regular basis.

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

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

3. Severability. Should any part or parts of these
Covenants be declared invalid or unenforceable by any court of

RE: Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision
Summary of Geologic and Soils Conditions
Dear Sandy:
The purpose of this report is to summarize the geologic and soils
conditions which exist at the Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision. 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

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.

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed residence should be founded with spread footings
bearing on the natural subsoils and designed for an allowable soil
bearing pressure of 1000 psf. Other design and construction
criteria relating to geotechnical aspects of the proposed residence
are presented in the body of the report.
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.

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.

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.

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.

ABSTRACT:
The contents of this report are a
subsurface soils investigation and foundation recommendations for
the proposed indoor riding arena for the Cedaridge Riding
Academy located north of Carbondale, Colorado.
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

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

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.

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.

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. If soil types and conditions other than
those outlined herein are noted during construction on the site,
these should be reported to Lincoln-DeVore so that changes in
recommendations can be made, if necessary. If questions arise or
further information is required, please feel. free to contact
Lincoln-DeVore at any time.

STIPULATED RULING OF REFEREE, FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS
OF LAW, AND JUDGMENT AND DECREE
CONCERNING THE APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS AND
FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION OF SANDRA SMITH, in
Garfield County
THIS MATTER coming on for consideration of this stipulated
Findings and Decree in connection with the application of Sandra
Smith, and the Water Referee and Water Court being fully advised
in the premises, upon examination of the records and files herein
contained, hereby enter the following Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law, Ruling of Referee and Judgment and Decree of
the Water Court:
I.
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.

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.

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.

RE: Cedar Ridge Farm Subdivision
Water System Analysis
The purpose of this letter is to review for you the analysis we have
done with respect to the availability of groundwater resources and fire
protection recommendations on your property with respect to the pro-
posed individual homesites.
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.

To Wham It May Concern,
As a local water well driller who has experience in the Missouri Heights area,
I have been asked to give my opinion on the availability of an adequate aquifer for
several individual wells for the area owned by Sandy Smith located on County Road
103. 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,

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

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.
