This is not a requirement for the recorded exemption but is recommended to avoid property owner conflicts in the future. Entrance gates (if applicable) must be set back a minimum of 100 feet from edge of shoulder to allow a truck with trailer or RV to pull completely off of the roadway and open the gate. In no case shall any vehicle(s) stopped to open a gate be allowed to create a safety issue for roadway users.

The details of action granting modifications shall be recorded and entered in the files of the department of fire prevention. 2012 IF C104.8 a.

Therefore, pursuant to the State Engineer's March 4, 2005 and March 11, 2011 memorandums to county planning directors, this office will only perform a cursory review of the referral information and provide informal comments. The comments do not address the adequacy of the water supply plan for this project or the ability of the water supply plan to satisfy any County regulations or requirements. In addition, the comments provided herein cannot be used to guarantee a viable water supply plan or infrastructure, the issuance of a well permit, or physical availability of water. The application is for a Site Specific Plan, an amendment to a site specific development plan and use by special use permit no. USR-1459 to add a building to an existing automotive business. The existing business provides truck and auto sales along with service work to vehicles. The existing business will be expanded to a total of 5 to 7 customers and 4 to 6 employees daily from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. There is an existing well (permit no. 254153) and septic system that will continue to serve the property, though employees currently drink bottled water. Some landscaping around the business is proposed, though no details were provided. The application materials indicate that the existing home on the site will be used for storage purposes; it is unclear if tenants will continue to occupy the home. Well permit no. 254153 was issued on November 11, 2013 pursuant to Section 37-92- 602(3)(b)(I) and the policy of the State Engineer dated April 9, 1985 to use an existing well for drinking and sanitary purposes inside a commercial business at a rate of 15 gpm. Water from the well should not be used for lawn or landscape irrigation, or for any other purposes outside the business building structure. Annual withdrawal from the well is limited to 1/3 acre-foot of water per year; a totalizing flow meter is required on this well. The commercial uses described in the application materials appear to fit within the limits of well permit no. 254153, however at no point should this well be used for any landscape watering or other irrigation on the property. Should landscape development be required as a part of the county permit, the applicant must obtain irrigation water from a legally available 1313 Sherman Street, Room 821, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3581 F 303.866.3585 www.water.state.co.us Case No. MJUSR16-0002 Page 2 of 2 August 22, 2016 source. It is unclear if the existing house on the property will continue to be occupied. Pursuant to the State Engineer's Policy 2011-3, the applicant may use well permit no. 254153 for household drinking and sanitary purposes in addition to uses at the commercial business, so long as the total amount of water used for the commercial and household uses does not exceed the 1/3 acre-foot limit on the well permit; at no point should the well be used for outdoor household uses such as lawn and garden irrigation. So long as the applicant follows the conditions of permit no. 254153 and maintains diversion records from the well, this office has no objections to this proposal. If you, or the applicant, have any questions please contact Karlyn Armstrong at 303-866-3581 x8275. Sincerely, / :roanWilliams, P.E. Water Resource Engineer cc: Permit file 254153 Hello
