Los Amigos Planned Unit Development
I. BACKGROUND
Elk Springs, formerly known as Los Amigos, is an existing PUD located northeast of State
Highway 82 on CR 114 in the vicinity of Colorado Mountain College. The Los Amigos Ranch PUD
was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (the Board) in 1981 (Resolution 81-358),
and has been amended numerous times through 2008. Documents applicable to this final plat
review include:
• PUD Resolution No. 96-34.
• Preliminary Plan Resolution 98-30.
These documents require compliance with requirements related to roads, water and
wastewater, utilities, environmental impacts, HOA and covenant documents, impact fees, and
phasing.
II. REQUEST
The Applicant requests final plat approval for Filing 6A, located in the southeastern area of the
PUD with fronting CR 114 but with access from the existing internal road system. The proposed
plat would consist of commercial parcel of 4.565 -acres and a 6.9 -acre open space tract. Further
subdivision of the site would be anticipated in the future. Necessary public improvements to
be constructed include extension of the sewer system. This filing of the subdivision is proposed
to be included in the Elk Springs Homeowner's Association.
III. ACTION REQUESTED OF BOCC
Staff has reviewed the Final Plat and found it to be in the form required by the Land Use
Resolution of 2008, as amended and will be compliant with all requirements upon satisfaction
of required impact fees (road impact and fire district). Staff requests that the Board authorize
the Chairman to sign the mylar, the Improvements Agreement, and the Treasurer's Deposit
Agreement in -lieu of a Letter of Credit.

Dear Ken,
Upon review of the Elk Springs, Filing 6A Plat, I have prepared a list of comments or corrections to be made
prior to approval for survey content and form.
1. The acreage in the description needs to match the Table of Areas.
2. Should be a tie to a PLSS corner.
3. Dates in certificates should be changed to 2011.
4. A note describing the units of measure used.
5. Line labels and text should be moved out of line work.
6. Does 20' Easement on Lot 1 stop at Common Area boundary?
Once these and all final comments from Building and planning have been completed, the Mylar may be
prepared for recording. The Mylar shall be delivered to the Building and Planning office with all private party
signatures no later than Monday the week prior to the next commissioner meeting day in order to make that
meeting.

have reviewed the application for the proposed Elk Springs Subdivision filings. The
application was reviewed for compliance with the International Fire Code (IFC) 2003 edition,
adopted by the County. I would offer the following comments.
Access
The proposed access is adequate for emergency apparatus.
Water Supplies for Fire Protection
The existing water system and fire hydrant locations are adequate for fire protection.
Impact Fees
The 66 residential lots and 1 new commercial lot created by the subdivision are subject to
development impact fees adopted by the District. The developer will be required to enter into an
agreement with the District for the payment of development impact fees. Execution of the
agreement and payment of the fees are due prior to the recording of the final plat. Fees are based
upon the impact fees adopted by the District at the time the agreement is executed. The current
fee for residential development is $730.00 per unit.
Please contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance.

RE: Review of Elk Springs Final Plat Filings: SFPA6704
Dear Kathy:
This office has performed a review of the documents provided for the Elk Springs Filings Final Plat
Applications. The submittal was found to be thorough and well organized. The review generated
the following comment:
• Section 7-104 of the Land Use Resolution has requirements to be met concerning wells. The lot
created in Filing 10 proposes a well to be drilled and tested in the future. This well will need to
be provided and the requirements of Section 7-104.B be met prior at Final plat. Alternatively, a
will serve letter and a method of connection to the water system of the District could be
provided instead.
Feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,

the Final Plat and deeded by recorded instrument to theHomeowners' Association of the
Subdivision for the benefit of public utility providers. The Homeowners' Association of the
Subdivision shall be solely responsible for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of said public utility
easements, unless otherwise agreed to with the public utility company(ies). The BOCC shall not be
obligated for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of any utility easement within the Subdivision. In

indemnify the BOCC for claims made asserting that the standards imposed by the BOCC are
improper or are the cause of the injury asserted, or from claims which may arise from the negligent
acts or omissions of the BOCC or its employees. The BOCC shall notify the Owner of receipt by the
BOCC of a notice of claim or a notice of intent to sue, and the BOCC shall afford the Owner the
option of defending any such claim or action. Failure to notify and provide such written option to the
Owner shall extinguish the BOCC's rights under this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to constitute a waiver of governmental immunity granted to the BOCC by Colorado

30, the Preliminary Plan Approval, the BOCC has established a Road Impact fee of Two Hundred

of the Garfield County real estate records. Thus, Owner and BOCC agree that Owner has fully
satisfied its obligations to the RE -1 School District and no fee is due from Owner for this Final Plat.
All property within the Los Amigos Ranch P.U.D. which was not previously within the
municipal boundaries of the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District was included within the
District pursuant to its Resolution No. 005, Series of 2000. The Owner shall comply with all
requirements of said Resolution No. 005, Series of 2000 which include the obligation to pay
applicable impact fees for commercial property within the Fire District.
12. SALE OF LOTS. No lots, tracts, or parcels within the Subdivision may be
separately conveyed prior to recording of the Final Plat in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder.
13. BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY. As one
remedy for breach of this SIA, including failure to satisfy requirements of the Preliminary Plan
Approval, the BOCC may withhold issuance of building permits for any residence or other habitable
structure to be constructed within the Subdivision. Further, no building permit shall be issued unless
the Owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District
("District"), if the District has so required, that there is adequate water available to the construction
site for the District's purposes and all applicable District fees have been paid to the District. No
certificates of occupancy shall issue for any habitable building or structure, including residences,
within the Subdivision until all Subdivision Improvements, except revegetation, have been
completed and are operational and all requirements of the Preliminary Plan Approval have been
satisfied as required by this SIA.
14. CONSENT TO VACATE PLAT. In the event the Owner fails to comply with the
15
terms of this SIA, the BOCC shall have the ability to vacate the Final Plat as it pertains to any lots
for which building permits have not been issued. As to lots for which building permits have been
issued, the Plat shall not be vacated and shall remain valid. In such event, the Owner shall provide
the BOCC a plat, suitable for recording, showing the location by surveyed legal description of any
portion of the Final Plat so vacated by action of the BOCC. If such a Plat is not signed by the BOCC
and recorded, or if such Plat is not provided by the Owner, the BOCC may vacate the Final Plat, or
portions thereof, by resolution.
15. ENFORCEMENT. In addition to any rights provided by Colorado statute, the
withholding of building permits and certificates of occupancy, provided for in paragraph 13, above,
the provisions for release of security, detailed in paragraph 3, above, and the provisions for plat
vacation, detailed in paragraph 14, above, it is mutually agreed by the BOCC and the Owner, that the
BOCC, without making an election of remedies, and any purchaser of any lot within the Subdivision
shall have the authority to bring an action in the Garfield County District Court to compel
enforcement of this SIA. Nothing in this SIA, however, shall be interpreted to require the BOCC to
bring an action for enforcement or to withhold permits or certificates or to withdraw unused security
or to vacate the Final Plat or a portion thereof, nor shall this paragraph or any other provision of this
SIA be interpreted to permit the purchaser of a lot to file an action against the BOCC. In addition,
the BOCC may, but shall not be required to, pursue any of its enforcement remedies as applicable,
pursuant to Article XII of the Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008, as amended.
16. NOTICE BY RECORDATION. This SIA shall be recorded in the Office of the
Garfield County Clerk and Recorder and shall be a covenant running with title to all lots, tracts and
parcels within the Subdivision. Such recording shall constitute notice to prospective purchasers and
other interested persons as to the terms and provisions of this SIA.

19. AMENDMENT AND SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITY. This SIA may be
modified, but only in writing signed by the parties hereto, as their interests then appear. Any such
amendment, including, by way of example, extension of the Completion Date, substitution of the
17
form of security, or approval of a change in the identity of the security provider/issuer, shall be
considered by the BOCC at a scheduled public meeting. Before any extension of Completion Date is
considered, Owner shall certify that all taxes and assessments on the real property subject to the SIA
are paid in full. If such an amendment includes a change in the identity of the provider/issuer of
security, due to a conveyance of the Subdivision by the Owner to a successor in interest, Owner shall
provide a copy of the recorded assignment document(s) to the BOCC, along with the original
security instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may change the identification of
notice recipients and contract administrators and the contact information provided in paragraph 18,
above, in accordance with the provisions of that paragraph and without formal amendment of this

or related to this SIA shall lie with the District Court of Garfield County, Colorado, and this SIA
