16 Exhibit - 6 LARRY IVY PO Box CR 451 Granby, CO Alan Green Safety Coordinator Grand County Road & Bridge Dear Mr. Green: This letter is to follow up on our conversation of March 23 rd and to request to be placed on the Grand County Commission Agenda to request that the OHV restriction on CR 451 be removed. There are about 10 residences on CR 451. The owners have used OHV s on this short dead end road to visit each other and to help when needed for many years. I was recently made aware that it was unlawful to do this. I don t know of anyone on 451 that would object to the removal of this restriction. Thank you for helping me resolve this problem. Sincerely, Larry Ivy

29 Exhibit - 11 Alan Green From: Jim <jch@jimhansen.org> Sent: Friday, March 25, :12 PM To: agreen@co.grand.co.us Subject: OHV on County Roads 451 and 452 Dear Mr. Green, I am writing to comment on the possibility of County Road 451 losing its designation as "OHV prohibited use". As a resident on County Road 452, I am impacted by traffic on County Road 451 off of County Road 4. I have seen many instances of bad behavior relating to OHVs, and I believe this activity is not appropriate for residential neighborhoods. The National Forest area, which is not far from our property, is the appropriate place for this activity, and many enthusiasts appropriately enjoy using their OHVs there. I believe that this separation of activities to their appropriate venues is good resource management, and would appreciate your consideration in helping us keep our residential areas safe and livable for the residents. Thank you very much for your consideration, Jim Hansen 1

30 Exhibit - 12 Alan Green From: Peterson <rkymtnmoose@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 25, :13 PM To: agreen@co.grand.co.us Subject: Request for OHV Traffic to legally use CR 451. Dear Alan Green, thank you for calling us back today (3/25/16) and explaining the request that was made from a resident on CR451. There was a request to prohibit OHV traffic from using CR451 several years ago due to people racing around the private property, opening gates to pastures, chasing horses, driving up private driveways,and hunting on private property without permission. We have lived in this area for 32 years and as a resident on CR452 we would like to request that they BOCC be informed of our concern and to please deny this request. If it is open to one person and the sign is taken down then the increase in traffic on our narrow dirt roads will become open to anyone driving in our area. Several years ago a family who purchased a large 11 acre property and home requested that they be able to ride their ATV s up CR4 to the National forest. That request was granted and now there are as many ATV s on CR 4 as cars and trucks. They come from the many vacation rentals that are located in Colorado Angler subdivision. It is my understanding that family that had made the original request to longer rides their ATV s. Proving that if you allow 1 you will get more than you expect. We appreciate you taking the time to consider our request and hope that you will deny OHV traffic on CR 451 and we hope that you might also consider the banning of OHV traffic on CR 4. They are unlicensed and drive with children riding with them, speeding and are reckless, they have no safety equipment and have no concern for legal traffic on the road. Thank you, Ed and Sharon Peterson 367 CR452 P. O Box 1024 Grand Lake, CO

31 Exhibit - 13 Alan Green From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Mike and Mandy Hanifen <mmhanifen@hotmail.com> Friday, March 25, :38 PM Alan Green Mike & Mandy Hanifen Comments for BOCC 4/12/16 mtg Dear Mr. Green, I thank you and the Board of County Commissioners for the opportunity to share some comments regarding the proposed 2016 OHV routes hearing on 4/12/16. I regret that my previous commitments kept me from making comments during the comment period. Regrettably, I have to be out of state on the hearing date as well. Our neighborhood (includes CR 451 & 452) formed the Stillwater Fire Abatement Coalition (SFAC) in 2001 a 'not for profit' entity with the Colorado Secretary of State. We formed this coalition as an avenue to network, obtain funding and bring about positive change through the years to our area (Stillwater/Bunte Small Tracts) with its close proximity to the Arapaho National Forest. We have met many challenges and helped to facilitate change at the county and federal levels for our area. Currently CR 451 is designated as 'OHV prohibited use' due to riders coming from the National Forest. It would be reversing progress and erasing measurable positive outcomes to the neighborhood to see this designation changed for the motivation of one vs. the good of many. Here are some concerns/comments that the BOCC should be aware of before a decision is made to include County Road 451 as a designated 2016 OHV route. Some safety concerns - As private landowners along CR 451 & CR 452 we are concerned for the safety of our children, horses and pets with increased OHV use. Trespassing and/or parking of OHV's on private property/drives. OHV riding at night. OHV riding at high speeds. Reckless OHV riding. Racing of OHV's side by side on CR 451/452. Near collisions with cars/equipment. Litter along CR 451 & 452 from OHV riders including tossed lit cigarettes, broken glass, ammo. Harassment of wildlife by OHV users. All the above have been witnessed in the past. The OHV use will not be contained to CR 451 it will also occur on CR 452 as they share the same turn off County Road 4 and past experience has shown this to be true. Past OHV use off CR 451 & 452 created 'pioneered trails' (trails not maintained or authorized by USFS) onto the national forest. Riders/Hunters on OHV's trespassing on private property looking for ways to access the national forest. Illegal use of OHV's on private property. Damage from OHV use on private property. The increased noise level from OHV use on CR 451 & 452. There are two vacation rentals properties - one located on CR 451 the other on CR 452, guests at these rentals properties believe they can ride around the neighborhood. We remind them of the sign posted on County Road 451 of prohibited OHV use and they comply, they go to the designated trails on the national forest (which is.02 mile away from the intersection of CR 451 & CR 4). Without that sign, not sure the outcome would be the same. There will be an increase of riders from the national forest again on CR 451 & 452 without that sign/designation. 1

32 Exhibit - 13 Many neighbors have refrained from calling law enforcement in the past with OHV incidents, as budget cuts have limited the departments ability to respond to non emergency calls. That should not to be interpreted as not having had OHV incidents off CR 451 & 452. We are witnessing a change in the mind set of some visitors to grand county and the national forest that unfortunately can encompass a uncaring mentality and a 'as we want/please' attitudes. That is both alarming and frightening. We all chose to live here for various reasons, among them to escape the 'rat race' and to enjoy our beautiful surroundings/environment. With our valid concerns and the willingness to act, hopefully we can preserve it for a while longer. Thanking you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Mandy Hanifen Stillwater Fire Abatement Coalition Chairman -- Mike & Mandy Hanifen 2

34 Exhibit - 15 Alan Green From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Avis Gray <aviszgray@yahoo.com> Friday, March 25, :17 PM agreen@co.grand.co.us Avis Gray Opposition to 451 and 452 as proposed OHV routes We at 1610 C.R. 452 are vehemently opposed to the consideration that c.r. 451 and 452 be included as proposed OHV routes for the following reasons and thank you in advance for your careful consideration: A. Fire mitigation and insurance: many of us on the private road 452 abutting the National Forest have recently had our long- standing homeowners' insurance cancelled because of us being in " a hazardous fire zone". We are consequently having to get high- risk insurance at an extremely high rate. In addition, although we have paid extra to be a subsidiary of the Grand Lake Fire District, our fire chief, Mike Long, feels that we indeed are in a fire- challenged mitigation area. We have witnessed otv "guests"throwing lit cigarette butts and starting raging, unattended campfires. ( Our neighborhood has for the past several summers been on patrol to report similar findings to the sherriff's department, since they lacked adequate personnel to attend multi- daily to such patrols.) B. Invasion and Damage to our private property-- although we have posted more than a dozen"private road and property signs" and pay heftily for our own road improvement and plowing, many OTV completely ignore our warnings, invade our properties,and tear up our costly road and driveway systems. Several OTVers have illegally camped out at our vacationing next door neighbors claiming they were friends. They weren't, and caused a ruckus when at our neighbors' request, we asked them to leave. c. Safety-- as recorded in your own records-- several years ago 3!hunters shot and bagged elk illegally on 451, grazing a resident's front porch, and sped off before the overworked game warden could answer our complaint. In addition, 3 years ago, a band of 4 drunken OTVers broke and entered into my house at midnight claiming " they were just lost.". Luckily, my quick- thinking son was here visiting, and averted me having a heart attack. It appears that some OTVers consider our private property rightfully theirs too-- obviously a wrong concept. D. Hazard to our children and pets : many otvers drive recklessly fast, with frequently unattended young people hellbent to race at unsafe speeds and who are also unaware of our difficult winding roads. They provide a threat to the wellbeing of our children and pets, and our strolling neighbors who have a right to walk our private roads and paths. We pay more than adequate taxes and private road maintenance funds to prevent such injustice to our safety and well- being. E. inadequate funding to provide adequate and constant patrol by all of the agencies involved to protect the rights of the citizens who have heavily vested interests in living on 451 and 452 -and do not want- nor expect our rights to be violated by many, who do not even live in our county much less understand our concerns for safety from invasion, fire, theft, and accidents and general risk. Thank you in advance for your wise consideration. Avis, Natalie, Ryan. Owen Gray C. r. 452 Grand lake, Colorado Sent from my ipad 1

Houck <clh@rkymtnhi.com> Sent: Saturday, March 26, :40 PM To: agreen@co.grand.co.us Subject: OMV Routes for 2016 Mr. Alan Green: Since the request that CR 451 be included in the proposed routes for 2016 logistically affects CR 452, and since we own property that borders CR 452, we wish to state that we adamantly oppose adding CR 451 and/or 452 as an OHV route. We have experienced many of the exact issues that Mandy Hanifen has expressed to you in person or in writing. But our main concern is the trespassing of our property by OHVs, whether ATVs or snowmobiles and running over newly regenerated or planted trees, scaring our horses and dogs, and in some instances scaring wildlife such as deer, elk, and moose, or simply motoring across our property as a given right. As an example, just last year, a renter drove his snowmobile across our property and our neighbor's, which included two driveways, one residence and two address signs a good quarter of a mile, because the road had no snow on it. When my wife later confronted him about it, he said he had a right to, because it was open land. We have had them even drive up our lane, looking for a shortcut to the national forest. We have lived here since 1994 and there hasn t been a year that either we or our neighbors haven t confronted OHV trespassers. My wife is concerned that when she comes out of our lane on horseback that an OHV or OHVs come roaring around the curve or over the hill not realizing there is someone on horseback coming onto the road. The current prohibition to drive an OHV on CRs 451 and 452 is frequently violated. How does the county propose to regulate its use when the violators are long gone before the law arrives. What penalties will be imposed? We would appreciate that you forward these comments to The Board of County Commissioners. Sincerely, Charles and Barbara Houck 389 CR 452 1

36 Exhibit - 17 Alan Green From: Sent: To: Subject: Michelle Roberts <michelleroberts87@hotmail.com> Saturday, March 26, :17 PM agreen@co.grand.co.us OHV route Hello Mr. Green, I am writing in response to the proposal that CR 451 & 452 becoming an OHV route. I am a resident on CR 452. I have seen numerous OHV's using these roads already, even though it is clearly marked that there is no access to national forest property and that no OHV's are allowed. Most areas of the national forest are accessible from CR 4 and the Glen Idle staging area. I have personally had to inform numerous people that they cannot park anywhere on private property or leave their vehicles on the travelled portion of the roadway while they go 4 wheeling. Also, there is no legal way for riders to get from the Glen Idle staging area to CR 451, because CR 4 is not an OHV approved road. My family and I have had numerous close calls over the past few summers with OHV's and not following the laws that are all ready in place. I can only see things getting much worse if the reigns are let loose in this area. Again, I would like to reiterate that the national forest is accessible without much restriction via CR 4 staging area. Also, a majority of CR 451 & 452 are private roads, and not maintained by the county. Added that OHV traffic to the private roads would add a larger cost to maintain. The small portions of the roadway that are maintained by the county, have no access to the national forest property. Thank you, Robert & Michelle Roberts 1

Before the sign for no OHV went up at the intersection of CR 4 and CR 451 we constantly had people running up and down our road on ATVs. Because the road dead ends these same people would make loops up into the private lands adjacent to the road and run up and down peoples drives. The road follows Stillwater Creek which flows down from the National Forest campground just above the last home on our road. You can t access the campground or National Forest from the road but people try or give up and drive through the meadows between the road and the creek. There is no reason CR 451 should be singled out for OHV use and in fact it should be just the opposite because of its proximity to the National Forest. Homeowners on CR 451 and CR 452 are not the people who use ATVs on these roads nor are they the ones asking for such use. If people wish to ride their ATVs in this area they have miles of trails within the National Forest designated for just such use and that is where they should ride. We respectfully request you continue to ban OHV use on these roads and maintain the peace and tranquility we all moved here to enjoy. 1

42 Exhibit - 20 Alan Green From: Charles Garcia <cfgarcia@earthlink.net> Sent: Wednesday, March 30, :58 AM To: 'Charles Garcia'; agreen@co.grand.co.us Subject: RE: OHV ON CR 451/452 After speaking with others and a more careful review of the proposal I wish to amend my statement on the issue of OHV and CR 451. I would propose a NO OHV BEYOND THIS POINT sign be placed on CR 4 at the exit from the National Forest and then another similar sign at the beginning of CR 452. We should then allow OHV operation on CR 451. This would strictly limit the OHV traffic on CR 451 to those who live on CR 451 because there would be no way to access the road from CR 4. My concerns below were because people came out of the National Forest snowmobile staging area and came down CR 4 and then up CR 451. I feel if people were originally banned or at least discouraged to leave the National Forest on their OHV it would go a long way to alleviate the concerns of those on both CR 452 and CR 451. Without a sign upon exiting the National Forest onto CR 4 that traffic will continue on CR 4 not just to CR 451 but well beyond. It is a fact those of us who live on CR 451 (we have been residents for 21 years) have and do use OHV to visit and help our neighbors and I would like to see that continue. This solution would prevent possible auto/ohv collision problems on CR 4 and at the same time ease the concerns of traffic from the National Forest onto CR 451 and CR 452. I believe this solution best addresses the concerns of everyone on CR 451, CR 452 and those further down CR 4 who are affected by OHV traffic coming out of the National Forest. There are plenty of OHV trails within the National Forest so there is absolutely no need for those people to leave the National Forest on their OHV.

I know some people totally ignore "private Property" and "keep out" signs. I am all for keeping just anyone and their dog go through, and I know some area just out sight seeing. they have no respect for the property owner nor nature. Other then locked gates, which is really not a solution, we really don't know what the solution is, so therefore will go along with the Forest Service and abide by their rules.

I don t want to trailer my OHV s one mile to avoid riding on 451especially as I have no trailer. I have never liked the current designation as it does not apply to snowmobiles so I must infer that snowmobiles are not to be inconvenienced in any way but OHV s must be. Like so many regulations this seems silly and pusillanimous but typical.

This road dead ends on NF System Lands for the purpose of access to a special use summer home. There are no established OHV trails that extend off the end of this road on NFS lands. Allowing OHV use on the main County road will likely encourage or entice individuals to develop illegal routes on NF system Lands We have installed a gate near the Forest Boundary where this road extends onto the NF, specifically to illuminate the on-going illegal incursions by OHV s onto the NF in this location. However, individuals on OHV s have been finding routes around this gate on the private lands and perhaps in other areas. I m unaware whether this OHV use is with the permission of the private land owner or not. Fortunately people can access the nearby Idleglen Parking Area beyond the end of County Rd 4, to access a large legal and well maintained network of OHV trails and roads on the NF.

54 Exhibit - 28 March 29, 2016 Grand County Board of Commissioners 308 Byers Ave. P.O. Box 264 Hot Sulphur Springs, CO Subject: CR 451 OHV Route Commissioners: As full time residents on County Road 451 my wife and I would like to have our short county road designated as an allowable OHV route. Until recently OHV use was allowed. County Road 451 was used by my parents, local ranchers, and residents since Stillwater small tracks was plated in My wife and I have been users and full time residents here since we purchased our lot from my mother s estate in We have had very few problems on 451 with OHV users and those were handled by talking with the individuals or by county law enforcement. Our application to reinstate CR451 for OHV use would not change the current designation of CR452. The existing sign could be moved to CR452 if those residents want to restrict their road. The worry that National Forest users would invade the community is not valid. Coming from the National Forest there are signs posted on County Road 4 stating NO OHV s BEYOND THIS POINT. Additionally, last year when I requested a sign at the entrance to CR451 indicating there was NO NATIONAL FOREST ACCESS Alan Green, Safety Coordinator for Road & Bridge, posted the sign for us and since then we have only experienced one problem with forest users. County Road 451 has always been used by residents with OHV s to visit and help each other. Only recently have we been made aware that this was no longer allowable. We see no reason to restrict residents from using OHV s instead of vehicles for short trips between homes. Sincerely, Larry and Vickie Ivy 313 CR
