COLORADO 80477 TELECOPIER JOHN A VANDERBLOEMEN 19)01 670 0960 June 14, 2001 Division of Mineral and Geology Department of Natural Resources 1313 Sherman Street Room 215 Denver, Colorado 80203 Attention: Tom Schreiner RE: Camilletti & Sons Inc., Camilletti Milner Pit #2, File M-2001-023 Dear Mr. Schreiner: Our office represents Camilletti & Sons Inc. concerning the above referenced gravel pit project. This letter is in response to the Memo to you from Allen Sorenson dated May 29, 2001 concerning mining setbacks. At page two of the memo, Allen Sorenson indicates that a complicating factor with the establishment of the mining setback of the powerline easement boundary specific to the site is that there is some confusion as to the width of the easement. The memo goes on to state that "the permit application states that the property deed references a 40 foot wide easement, but the electric utility claims that the easement is 100 feet wide. No documentary evidence for either of the claims is provided in the permit application; as a result, for permitting purposes, the division must assume a 100 foot wide easement unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division, in consultation with the Attorney General's Office, that 40 feet is the correct easement width." The intent of this letter is to eliminate the confusion as to the width of the easement. I have enclosed a copy of the only documentary evidence concerning the width of the easement, the Transmission Line Right of Way Easement dated 1966 and recorded March 7, 1996 in Book 718 at Page 320 of the Routt County public records. This document grants aright-of-way from Camilletti & Sons, Inc. to Yampa Valley Electric Association for the installation of a transmission line and the right "to cut and trim trees and shrubbery located within 20 feet of the center line of said line." This clearly grants Y.V.E.A. a 40 foot wide easement. Nowhere in the document is there any reference to a 100 foot wide easement. If I can answer any further questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to call me.
