Our goal is to show them that dreams are possible when you work together as a family and stay focused on your purpose. " Mission Statement for Patch of Heaven Event Center At Patch of Heaven Event Center, our mission is to create a welcoming, joyful, and memorable space where families and communities can celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. We are dedicated to providing a beautiful, safe, and versatile venue rooted in family values, hospitality, and integrity. Through our commitment to exceptional service, creativity, and heart, we aim to bring people together, support local traditions, and build a lasting legacy that inspires future generations. Background Patch of Heaven LLC was formed with the goal of creating a family-centered event venue that serves the local community while preserving the natural beauty and agricultural character of our property. As a new business, we are proactively designing our operations to comply with state, county, and public health standards for water, sanitation, and event capacity. Our family’s long-term objective is to provide a versatile location for weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays, fundraisers, reunions, and other community gatherings. The event center will contribute to local economic activity while offering residents a safe and well-managed space to celebrate life’s milestones. The property’s water supply, sourced by a private well producing 15 gallons per minute, has been tested and demonstrated to be adequate for the proposed event operations. The addition of permanent vault toilets ensures compliance with sanitation needs and removes reliance on portable services, aligning with our commitment to improve infrastructure and maintain a professional, guest-friendly environment. By approving Patch of Heaven LLC’s request for a 200-person event capacity, the county will support the development of a family-operated venue designed thoughtfully and responsibly to meet community needs while adhering to safety and environmental standards. Hours of Operation General Operations: Monday- Sunday o Standard ranch operating hours: 7:00 am - 10:00 pm o Standard Event outdoor operating hours: 8:00 am - 10: 00 pm o Standard Event indoor operating hours: 8:00 am - 12: 00 am Page 57 '#(+ &'%% )"( !' " *#(#%*#(%(&"&& $''!"#'(+#('"#%()&#" Page 58 Quiet time: 10: 00 pm - 7:00am Early/ Late Vendor Access: 7:00 am - 10:00 pm Traf ﬁc Generation As referred to in the previous section, the trafﬁc generation will also remain to the same scale that the Event Center is currently accommodation g but at a higher frequency. The Family anticipates that the maintenance of the road may increase but they handle maintenance as needed under current policy. In accommodating for events at a higher frequency, additional maintenance will be incorporated as needed to ensure safe and adequate road ways and parking areas. Current trafﬁc controls : * Standard Event Vehicle Capacity : 80 ( See Site Plan) * Trafﬁc control personnel during events: Ranch representatives direct ﬂow of trafﬁc, enforce speed limit, assist with parking in an orderly fashion and ensure smooth exit strategy. The main drive servicing the event center is a one- way drive to assist with ﬂow. Al l parking locations provide sufﬁcient driveway width for emergency vehicle access. The required ﬁretruck parking areas are always accessible. The road base utilized on roadways is crushed asphalt which is spread, leveled, and compressed by roller to ensure the most longevity and a dust free environment. The average roadway width is 20’, the composition is gravel and crushed asphalt, and it can be used as a single lane emergency entrance or exit road if needed. The Family has installed ﬂood lights throughout the driveway so upon exit, all vehicles can do so in a safe manner. Page 59 Traf ﬁc Impact Analysis Patch of Heaven Event Center The Patch of Heaven LLC respectfully submits the following Trafﬁc Impact Analysis as part of our application to operate a rural event center with a maximum occupancy of 200 guests. After careful evaluation of anticipated trafﬁc patterns, event scheduling, and roadway conditions, we believe the operation of Patch of Heaven will not create adverse impacts on local roads, surrounding neighborhoods, or overall trafﬁc ﬂow. ⸻ 1. Event Scheduling Minimizes Peak Trafﬁc Events at Patch of Heaven are primarily held during weekends, evenings, and non-commuter hours. This intentional scheduling pattern ensures that vehicle trips generated by the event center do not interfere with peak morning or evening trafﬁc associated with local employment, school transportation, or agricultural operations. Most events begin between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM, well outside peak trafﬁc periods. Guest arrival and departure times occur gradually, not simultaneously, which further reduces congestion. ⸻ 2. Rural Location Supports Higher Vehicle Flow Without Disruption Patch of Heaven is located in a rural area where roadways already support low-density trafﬁc volumes. The surrounding roads experience minimal daily trafﬁc, and current usage is signiﬁcantly below capacity. As a Page 60 result, the occasional increase in vehicles during an event remains well within the road system’s ability to manage. Because the property is not located near neighborhoods, schools, or commercial zones, the event center does not interfere with residential street access or local business trafﬁc. ⸻ 3. Maximum Attendance Does Not Exceed Road Capacity Even at full occupancy of 200 guests, estimated vehicle counts remain manageable: • Typical event vehicle occupancy: 2–3 guests per car • Estimated total vehicles per event: 65–90 vehicles maximum These numbers fall well below thresholds that typically trigger trafﬁc concerns in rural areas. Arrival times are staggered, and departures are gradual, reducing the possibility of congestion or queuing along the property entrance. ⸻ 4. Onsite Parking Prevents Roadside Overﬂow Patch of Heaven provides ample onsite parking, designed to accommodate more vehicles than required for a 200-person event. This prevents vehicles from parking on road shoulders or blocking through-trafﬁc. Designated parking areas include: • Clear vehicle circulation routes Page 61 • Adequate turning space • Safe ingress and egress to avoid slowing road trafﬁc No vehicles will need to stage, idle, or wait on public roads. ⸻ 5. Safe and Adequate Access Point The property entrance offers: • Direct visibility • Sufﬁcient turning radius • Adequate signage • Safe deceleration and acceleration space These features ensure that entering and exiting vehicles do not disrupt the ﬂow of existing roadway trafﬁc. ⸻ 6. Low Event Frequency Limits Trafﬁc Impacts Events are not daily. They occur intermittently, typically once or twice per week. This limited frequency ensures the trafﬁc generated does not create repetitive or ongoing congestion in the area. There is no continuous daily trafﬁc like what is generated by schools, commercial centers, or workplaces. ⸻ Page 62 7. No Impact on Emergency Access Routes The event center’s operations do not interfere with any emergency access routes or service corridors. Internal driveways are wide enough for emergency vehicles, and public roadways remain unobstructed. Local ﬁre, medical, and sheriff access remains fully supported and unaffected by event operations. ⸻ Conclusion Based on anticipated vehicle volumes, event scheduling, rural roadway capacity, onsite parking availability, and the infrequent nature of events, Patch of Heaven Event Center will not create negative trafﬁc impacts on surrounding streets or public roadways. The property is well equipped to manage visitor ﬂow safely and efﬁciently, ensuring full compliance with county standards and protecting the quality of life for nearby residents and road users.

Page 10 of 10 EXHIBIT “A” The Land referred to herein below is situated in the County of Garfield, State of Colorado and is described as follows: Lot 2 Final Plat Ruiz South Minor Subdivision According to the plat thereof recorded December 22, 2022 as Reception No. 981906 County of Garfield The proposed Event Center is a family-operated venue designed to host small to medium-sized gatherings such as weddings, quinceañeras, community celebrations, family reunions, and private events. The purpose of the facility is to provide a well- managed, organized location. We would love to make the facility available to assist the community during emergencies when feasible. In the event of local disasters such as wildﬁres, severe weather events, or other catastrophic or urgent community needs, the event center may be offered as a temporary gathering space, coordination location, or support facility for affected residents and community responders. Out intente is to support the safety and well-being of the surrounding community whenever possible by providing a safe place for meetings, temporary refuge, or community coordination during times of need. Availability would depend on the nature of the event, safety considerations, and coordination with local authorities or emergency services. Event Center Operational Plan & Management Overview Facility Overview The Event Center is designed to host private gatherings such as weddings, family celebrations, community events, and similar private functions. Events are typically reserved on a full-weekend basis to allow adequate time for preparation, event activities, and cleanup. This operational structure allows vendors and event organizers to complete setup and breakdown activities during normal daytime hours while minimizing late-night traffic, noise, and congestion. The facility will operate under a structured scheduling system designed to maintain safety, organization, and compatibility with surrounding land uses. The full-weekend reservation model also reduces operational impacts by spreading vendor arrival, setup, and departure over multiple days rather than concentrating activity within a single evening. Standard Event Weekend Schedule Friday — 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM Vendor setup, decorating, equipment deliveries, and event preparation. No formal events or amplified music occur during this time. Saturday — 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM (Outdoor Areas) 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Indoor Areas) Primary event day including guest arrival, celebration activities, and organized programming. Outdoor amplified sound concludes by 10:00 PM. Indoor activities may continue until 12:00 AM with controlled sound levels. A decibel monitoring system will be used to ensure noise remains within acceptable limits. Sunday — 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM Cleanup, vendor equipment removal, and final property restoration. This schedule allows adequate time for setup and cleanup during daylight hours and significantly reduces the need for late-night vendor activity or equipment loading. Traffic Management Plan The full-weekend rental structure significantly reduces traffic impacts by allowing vendors to arrive and depart gradually over several days. This operational approach avoids concentrated vehicle traffic late at night and prevents large volumes of vehicles departing simultaneously at the end of events. Guests typically arrive over a staggered period prior to the event and depart gradually throughout the evening. By allowing cleanup and vendor removal on Sunday, the property eliminates the need for late-night equipment loading, reducing both traffic and noise impacts. All event scheduling and operational procedures are designed to promote safe traffic flow and minimize impacts on surrounding roadways. Maximum Guest Capacity & Parking Plan The Event Center will operate with a controlled guest capacity to maintain safe operations and adequate parking availability. Guest capacity will be managed based on available on- site parking, circulation space, traffic safety, and overall event logistics. All guest and vendor parking is located on-site to prevent overflow onto surrounding roads or neighboring properties. Parking areas are organized to provide clear circulation routes for vehicles and pedestrians. Event hosts will be instructed to communicate parking instructions to guests in advance to ensure efficient arrival and departure and to minimize congestion. Noise Management Plan The Event Center will implement operational guidelines to ensure noise levels remain reasonable and respectful of neighboring properties. Amplified music and primary event activities occur primarily on Saturdays. Outdoor amplified sound concludes by 10:00 PM. Indoor activities may continue until 12:00 AM with controlled sound levels monitored using a decibel meter. The full-weekend scheduling structure also reduces late-night noise by allowing vendors to complete setup and breakdown activities during daytime hours rather than immediately following the event. Event organizers and vendors will be informed of the facility’s sound policies prior to events and will be required to comply with these operational standards. Emergency and Community Support The property owners are committed to supporting the local community during times of need. If approved by the County, the Event Center may be made available to assist during community emergencies when feasible. This may include providing temporary gathering space, coordination areas, or support facilities for emergency response efforts such as wildfires, natural disasters, or other community needs when requested by local authorities.

Changes to the design and permit must be approved by Garfield County Public Health and the designer prior to construction. The new OWTS will serve a new three-bedroom residence. The system will consist of a new, two- compartment 1,000-gallon septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the tank. The septic tank shall be on the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s approved septic tank list. Effluent will gravity flow to a distribution box set level with access to grade to distribute effluent to 1,056 ft2 of STA. The new STA will consist of four gravelless chamber trenches, each trench consisting of 22 Quick4 chambers per trench (88 chambers total). Inspection ports shall be installed at each end of each trench. Maintain all setbacks and elevations as designed. To assist in scheduling, please contact Garfield County Public Health (970-945-6614 ext. 8150) to notify the start of OWTS construction. Contact the designer and Garfield County Public Health at least 48 hours prior to requesting final inspection of the installed system prior to backfill. NO OWTS COMPONENT SHALL BE BACKFILLED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM GARFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE DESIGNER. Agreement All installations must comply with all requirements of the Garfield County OWTS regulations including but not limited to the conditions specified above. In consideration of the issuance of the permit, the applicant hereby agrees to comply with all laws and regulations related to the zoning, location, construction, and erection of the proposed OWTS and associated structures for which this permit is granted. The applicant further agrees that if the above said regulations are not fully complied with in the zoning, location, erection, and construction of the above described OWTS and structure, the permit may then be revoked by notice from the Health Department and immediately become null and void. The issuance of a permit and specifications of terms and conditions therein will not constitute assumption of liability, nor create presumption that the local public health agency or its employees may be liable for the failure or malfunctioning of any system. Permit issuance will not constitute a certification that the system, the equipment used in the system, or any component used for system operation will ensure continuous compliance with the provision of the OWTS Act, the regulations adopted thereunder, or any terms and conditions of a permit. Permit Approval Plans and specifications for the proposed OWTS have been reviewed and are considered satisfactory. Permission is hereby given to the property owner(s) to perform the work indicated in accordance with the Garfield County OWTS Regulation. This Permit will expire 1 year from the date of issuance unless construction on the system has commenced. An "as-built" drawing must be submitted and inspection of the system must be completed by GCPH before final approval of the system will be issued. 09/16/2024 Issued By: Garfield County Environmental Health Department Date Garfield County Public Health Department – working to promote health and prevent disease Public Health Tito Ruiz 833 County Road 331 Silt, CO 81652 Via email: titoshandymanservice@yahoo.com tjs@hceng.com Subject: Final Acceptance Letter 833 County Road 331 Silt, CO 81652 OWTS Permit #: SEPT-8851 March 2, 2026 On October 29, 2025, we visited the site of the building under construction at 833 County Road 331 near Silt in Garfield County, Colorado to observe the OWTS installation pursuant to OWTS Permit # SEPT- 8851. The system was designed by High Country Engineering and installed by Tito Ruiz. We received an as-built drawing of the constructed system and a letter certifying that the system was constructed in compliance with the permitted design from the OWTS designer dated March 3, 2026. During our inspections, we observed the new sewer line and cleanout adjacent to the building, the new poly 1,500-gallon two-compartment septic tank with an effluent filter in the outlet tee of the second compartment of the tank, the new effluent line, the new distribution box, and the Soil Treatment Area (STA). The septic tank and distribution box were installed level with access brought to grade. The STA consisted of four gravelless chamber trenches with 18 Infiltrator Arc 36 chambers per trench (72 total chambers, 1080 ft2 total STA). Additionally, inspection ports were present at each end of each trench. On February 3, 2026, we received confirmation that the effluent filter handle had been extended, the piping of the irrigation ditch had been extended to the Southwest to reduce the required setback to the STA, and a branch of the irrigation ditch had been filled to resolve an encroachment on the sewer line setback. As required by Garfield County OWTS Regulation Section 43.4.F.3, based on our final inspection observations, this OWTS was installed according to the permit requirements and regulations.
