Wilson, Penny Everitt, Wayne H Roth, Gary Roth, Rose Jessen, and All Unknown Persons Who Claim Any Interest in the Subject Matter of this Action. The action was brought to settle a boundary dispute. Weld County's only interest in the action was to insure that the final resolution of the action did not impact Weld County's interest in its roads and rights-of-way in the area.The matter was finally settled by the parties as set forth in the attached Stipulation, and Weld County's interest in its roads and rights-of-way were not impacted by the establishment of the boundaries upon which the parties agreed. The US Forest Service did not consent to the jurisdiction of the Court to establish any boundaries which could impact federal land.Therefore, a separate Agreement was entered into by and between the Plaintiff, the State of Colorado, the Forest Service and Weld County.The State and Forest Service took no position with regard to the County's interests. I recommend that the Board approve this Agreement. Agreement Effective this day of August, 2012, Lonesome Pines Land and Cattle Co., LLC,a Colorado limited liability company ("Lonesome Pines"),the United States Forest Service ("USFS"), United States Department of Agriculture("USDA"),the United States of America ("United States"), the State of Colorado ("State"),and Weld County collectively the "parties", hereby agree as follows: A Recitals 1. Lonesome Pines,the USFS,the State,and Weld County are parties to a lawsuit in the Weld County District Court, Case No. 09CV655 ("Lawsuit"). 2.

The parties have reached agreement to resolve their disputes in the Lawsuit. 4. The United States denies that the Weld County District Court, State of Colorado,has jurisdiction to resolve disputes involving property owned by the United States. 28 U.S.C. § 1346(1). 5. The parties are therefore entering into this agreement to set forth their voluntary agreement to resolve the boundary as between the property owned by the United States under the jurisdiction of the USFS/USDA and the property owned by Lonesome Pines. B Agreement NOW THEREFORE,by and for the promises and consideration set forth herein,the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and pursuant to Section 38-44-112, C.R.S., and 16 U.S.C. §474 and U.S. Forest Manual 7151.01,the parties agree as follows: 1.

The United States takes no position as to the entry of a decree resolving the boundary and corner disputes related to the remaining property at issue in the Lawsuit. 4.

To the extent that the agreed upon boundary markers set by the terms of this agreement suggest that the center lines of Weld County Roads 101, 103 and 122 as currently located, are not identical to the section lines as they may exist by reference to the corners acknowledged by the terms of this agreement,Lonesome Pines and Weld County acknowledge the longstanding presence of the above roads and the right of Weld County to maintain the 60 feet of right-of-way associated with the roads in their current locations, measured as 30 feet on either side of the roads' current centerlines. Lonesome Pines and Weld County further acknowledge the ongoing existence of Weld County's unimproved rights-of-way, consistent with the corners established by the terms of this agreement, and its right to utilize and/or improve those rights-of-way. 6. The United States,the USFS/USDA and the State take no position on the location of Weld County Roads 101, 103, and 122 and the rights-of-way granted and accepted for use by the public pursuant to a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, recorded on the 14th day of October, 1889, in Weld County, Colorado.

Lonesome Pines and the State further acknowledge that slight discrepancies exist between the existing fence at the boundary between Section 9 and 16 in Township 10 North, Range 60 West, 6th PM, Weld County, Colorado and the boundary line as shown in the attached Exhibit A between Section 9 and 16 in Township 10 North, Range 60 West, 6`h PM, Weld County, Colorado. Lonesome Pines and the State agree that the existing fence at said location may remain in its current position indefinitely or until further agreement by Lonesome Pines and the State. Repairs to the existing fence may be made along the existing fence line. Any new fencing shall be located along the boundary line as shown in the attached Exhibit A. In the interim, and until further agreement, either party may continue to use any property of the other within their side of the common fence for any lawful purpose,and neither party shall make any claim for compensation or trespass due to the other party's lawful use of the other's property within their respective side of the existing fence. 8. It is contemplated that this agreement may be executed in several counterparts,with a separate signature page for each party. All such counterparts and signature pages, together, shall be deemed to be one document. 9.

In support of this Motion, Lonesome Pines, Cedar Creek, the State of Colorado, and Weld County state as follows: 1. As part of this civil action, Lonesome Pines asserted a quiet title claim and a boundary line adjustment claim, each pertaining to the following Sections, as described in Exhibit 1 to Lonesome Pines' Second Amended Complaint: Section 28 and Section 33 both in Township 11 North, Range 60 West of the 6`h Principal Meridian in Weld County, Colorado; and the West 1/2 of Section 4 and all of Section 9 in Township 10 North, Range 60 West of the 6`h Principal Meridian in Weld County, Colorado (collectively, the "Property"). This Stipulation pertains to all of the Property except for the Southwest corner, the West quarter corner, and the West line of the Southwest quarter of Section 9 Township 10 North, Range 60 West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Weld County, Colorado (collectively, the "Excluded Property"). 2. Lonesome Pines, Cedar Creek, the State of Colorado, and Weld County (the "Remaining Parties") hereby stipulate to entry of a court decree establishing the corners and boundaries of the Property, except for the Excluded Property, as surveyed by Drexel, Barren & Co., and recorded at Reception No. 3546935 in the real property records of Weld County, Colorado (the "DBC Survey").

Wilson previously consented to the entry of a decree establishing the corner pins and corresponding boundaries as surveyed by Drexel, Barren & Co. and quieting title to the related properties according to the DBC Survey.

Lonesome Pines and the U.S. Forest Service have agreed to dismiss the U.S. Forest Service from this action pursuant to a Joint Motion to Dismiss submitted concurrently with this Stipulation. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(f) and 2409a, the U.S. Forest Service denies this Court has jurisdiction to resolve disputes involving property owned by the United States and did not join in this Stipulation. However, the U.S. Forest Service entered into a private agreement with Lonesome Pines, Cedar Creek, the State of Colorado, and Weld County, pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-44-112, 16 U.S.C. § 474 and U.S. Forest Manual 7151.01, establishing the Southwest corner, the West quarter corner, and the West line of the Southwest quarter of Section 9 according to the DBC Survey ("Agreement"). See Agreement, attached as Exhibit B. The Agreement covers all portions of the property at issue in this civil action in which the U.S. Forest Service has any interest. 8. The Remaining Parties recognize that Weld County Roads 101, 103 and 122 are lawful rights-of-way granted and accepted for use by the public, pursuant to a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, recorded on the 14th day of October, 1889, in Weld County, Colorado. To the extent that the agreed upon boundary markers set by the terms of this Stipulation suggest that the center lines of Weld County Roads 101, 103 and 122 as currently located, are not identical to the section lines indicated by the DBC Survey, the Remaining Parties acknowledge the longstanding presence of the above roads, and the right of Weld County to maintain the 60 feet of right-of-way associated with the roads in their current locations, measured as 30 feet on either side of the roads' current centerlines. The Remaining Parties further acknowledge the ongoing existence of Weld County's unimproved rights-of-way, consistent with the corners established by the terms of this Stipulation, and recognize that this Stipulation in no way inhibits its right to utilize and/or improve those rights-of-way. 9. The United States, the U.S. Forest Service and the State take no position on the location of Weld County Roads 101, 103 and 122 and the rights-of-way granted and accepted for use by the public, pursuant to a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, recorded on the 14th day of October, 1889, in Weld County, Colorado. Further, the United States, the U.S. Forest Service and the State take no position in reference to the issue of whether the agreed upon boundary markers set by the terms of this Stipulation suggest that the center lines of Weld County Roads 101, 103 and 122 as currently located, are not identical to the section lines indicated by the DBC Survey. Finally, the United States, the U.S. Forest Service and the State take no position on the issue of the existence of Weld County's unimproved rights-of-way, consistent with the corners established by the terms of this Stipulation, and its right to utilize and/or improve those rights-of-way. 3 10. Nothing in this Stipulation or final decree entered by the Court shall be construed as an express or implied agreement by any party hereto as to the validity or correctness of other disputed corner locations in Townships 10 North and 11 North Range 60 West of the 6th Principal Meridian in Weld County, Colorado. WHEREFORE, Lonesome Pines, Cedar Creek, the State of Colorado, and Weld County respectfully request that the Court enter the attached proposed Decree establishing the boundaries and corners of the Property, except for the Excluded Property, according to the DBC Survey, and quieting title to the Property according to the DBC Survey.
