Janice K. Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Original Development and Vested Rights
Agreement and the Approval Resolutions, the vested rights associated with the Real Property are
scheduled to expire on April 14, 2020;
WHEREAS, Owner timely filed with the County an application for extension of the vested
rights associated with the Approval Resolutions for the Real Property and the County granted an
extension of the vested rights from April 14, 2020 to April 14, 2030 by Resolution No. 009-2019,
conditioned on the County and the Owner entering into this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement and to supersede and replace
the Original Development and Vested Rights Agreement with this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the
parties hereby supersede and replace the Original Development and Vested Rights Agreement
(which shall be of no further force or effect) with this Agreement and the parties stipulate and
agree as follows.
1. Water and Fire Protection System. The water system for the existing Ranch
facilities, proposed new building envelopes, and existing residential structures were all upgraded
in accordance with the Master Utility Plan (the "MUP') attached hereto at Exhibit M17P,
consisting of two sheets MU -01 and MU -02 as required by the Approval Resolutions. The MUP
graphically shows the following: The existing source of water is a spring to the southwest of the
developed portion of the Ranch. This water is piped to an existing 5,000 -gallon storage cistern
and pump -house on the Fathering Parcel that then is pumped throughout Tracts 8, 9 and 11, and
the Fathering Parcel. This cistern and cisterns or storage tanks installed at the new or remodeled
residences will be the sole source of potable water for these facilities.
The new system of water piping is extended to all building envelopes and will serve all the
buildings equipped with domestic water within Tracts 8, 9 and 11, and the Fathering Parcel.
The water distribution line will also provide the water to fill individual fire sprinkler water tanks
that are required for any new buildings and any major renovation of existing buildings within the
Ranch. Per the requirements of the Basalt Rural Fire District, each cistern or storage tank on a
new building or major renovation shall be sized to provide a 30 -minute cycle of sprinkler flow for
the structure in question (approx. 3,000-5,000 gallons). The owners of the individual lots shall be
responsible for construction of individual tanks and service to their residences from the distribution
line as a requirement for each of their certificates of occupancy.
In addition to the improvements to the water distribution system, the widening of select access
routes within the Ranch to a minimum of 16' wide and installation of a fire hydrant adjacent to the
central pond on Tract 8 were completed in accordance with the specifications of the Basalt Rural
Fire District. Furthermore, pursuant to Basalt Rural Fire District specifications, Owner upgraded
-2-
the existing dry hydrant and cleared out the pond and added a screened inlet pipe to provide a
water source for the hydrant. The access in front of the hydrant was improved with a turnaround
cul-de-sac that enables a "Basalt -Tender" truck to fill up and pass a second truck. The grading
exhibit, Exhibit GR -02 Grading, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
indicates this design. The road approaching this turnaround was adjusted to meet the 4% maximum
slope Code requirement within the turnaround. Snowplowing and road maintenance shall be
undertaken as necessary to keep the entire turnaround area clear year round. The work to remove
and revegetate certain existing road segments (which are identified on the Plat) was done
concurrent with the widening of the road segments shown on Exhibit GR -02 Grading.
The estimated costs for the above work is set forth on Exhibit EC attached hereto and incorporated
herein by this reference. The construction plans for each water system to each new or remodeled
residence shall be approved by the Environmental Health Department prior to commencement of
construction.
2. Improvements to Driveway Serving Tract I I. The Road Site Plan Tract 11 ("T-11
Driveway Plan") attached hereto at Exhibit PPRD-01 and incorporated herein by this reference,
describes driveway improvements to the existing driveway serving Tract 11. A grading plan for
said improvements ("T-11 Grading Plan") is attached hereto at Exhibit GR -01 and incorporated
herein by this reference. Owner agrees to construct these improvements in accordance with the T-
11 Driveway Plan, the T-11 Grading Plan and otherwise in conformance with the Code. The
estimated costs of the road improvements shown on Exhibit PPRD-01 are set forth on Exhibit
EC.
Nothing herein shall prohibit said driveway from having a chip seal or better surface, which shall
be at the discretion of owner of Tract 11. Until such time as a chip -and -seal surface is laid said
driveway shall be treated with a dust suppressant at the expense of the owner of Tract 11.
3. Electric Service. Electric service is already present at the sites and will be installed
and upgraded to the extent necessary to serve new construction. New power service lines shall be
underground. Power lines, transformers and the installation of same shall conform to the
requirements and specifications provided Owner by Holy Cross Electric Association or the then -
existing electric service provider.
4. Telephone Service. Telephone service is already present at the sites and will be
installed and upgraded to the extent necessary to serve new construction. Any new telephone
service lines shall be underground. Telephone lines, pedestals and the installation of the same
shall conform to the requirements and specifications provided Owner by CenturyLink or the then -
existing local telephone service provider.
5. Drainage. A drainage report will be required at the time of building permit
submission in connection with new or replacement residences and associated accessory buildings.
-3-
Those plans shall demonstrate how the development will maintain stormwater discharge rates at
historic levels and comply with other applicable County standards.
6. Erosion/sediment lion control plan. Plans for erosion and sedimentation control
shall be required at the time of building permit submission for the new and replacement residences
and accessory buildings that will be built on the Ranch or at the time of submission of an earth
moving permit for re -grading of the existing roads.
The erosion and sedimentation control plans that are produced for the Ranch will follow these
principles:
• Sediment barriers will be placed on-site as necessary, including straw bales, silt
fences and similar filtering devices. A silt fence will be installed around the perimeter of
all areas that are to be disturbed. Inlets and catch basins will be protected with erosion logs
or bales until construction is complete and vegetation has been fully re-established.
♦ Topsoil will be removed and stock piled prior to any mass grading or excavation
and will be replaced following construction.
• Any slopes steeper than 2:1 (such as the side slopes along a road) will be re -
vegetated with erosion control blankets as soon as possible after the excavation phase has
been completed. All areas disturbed by development will be re -vegetated no later than the
first growing season after development is completed by spray application of County -
approved native seed mixes and fertilizer to disturbed areas and by mulching seeded areas
with straw as necessary.
♦ The property owner will employ appropriate weed prevention techniques on the
development sites and will comply with the applicable provisions of then -existing Code.
The estimated costs of sedimentation controls and re -vegetation for the planned road
improvements are set forth on Exhibit EC. The costs of these items for the new and replacement
residences will be addressed by the individual owners at the time of their own building permit
submission.
7. Re-route of the Lower Green Meadow Ditch to Avoid the Building Envelope on
Tract 9. A plan prepared by High Country Engineering to re-route the Lower Green Meadow
Ditch is shown on Exhibit GR -02 Grading. The existing ditch will be filled in and the ditch will
be re-established in the same alignment, immediately to the north of the building envelope, in an
area of the meadow that is gently sloping. The new ditch will be approximately 2' deep. A cost
estimate for the ditch realignment has been prepared by High Country Engineering and is indicated
on Exhibit EC.

Affordable Housing.
a• Deed Restriction jgELqment. Contemporaneously with the Original
Development and Vested Rights Agreement, Owner entered into an agreement titled
"Occupancy Deed Restriction and Agreement Affordable Dwelling Units" (the "Deed
Restriction Agreement") with the Aspen/Pitkin Housing Authority ("APCHA" ). The Deed
Restriction Agreement is recorded at Reception No. 588959 of the Records and sets forth
the terms and conditions applicable to the provision of affordable housing in connection
with the Ranch. Owner and the County acknowledge the rights and obligations contained
therein shall be deemed conditions of this Agreement and each party agrees to abide by the
terms thereof as though fully set forth herein. Although the County is not a direct party to
the Deed Restriction Agreement, County agrees to issue building permits and final
inspections and/or certificates of occupancy in accordance with the provisions set forth at
paragraph 1.2 of the Deed Restriction Agreement.
b• Housing Impact Fees Applicable To New Development.
(1) Tract 8: This parcel, as reconfigured in accordance with the Approval
Resolutions, is approved for development of a single family residence of up to
8,250 square feet of allowable Floor Area and has provided the Ranch Manager's
House as affordable housing. No further affordable housing fees or exactions are
required for the development on Tract 8 of up to 8,250 square feet of allowable
Floor Area.
(2) Tract 11: The original approvals for the J.H. McCabe Tracts required
affordable housing in the event Tract 8 was further subdivided. The subdivision of
Tract 8 into a newly configured Tract 8 and a new Tract I 1 triggers this obligation.
Such requirement is to be satisfied by payment of an affordable housing impact fee
for all Floor Area in excess of 5,750 square feet. The size of the residence approved
for Tract 11 is not in excess of 5,750 square feet of allowable Floor Area and thus
no affordable housing impact fee shall be required for development of up to 5,750
square feet of allowable Floor Area on Tract 11.
(3) Tract 9: The size of the residence currently approved for Tract 9 is not
in excess of 5750 square feet of allowable Floor Area. Therefore, no affordable
housing impact fee shall be required.
Any residential development approved in the future for Tracts 9 or 11 in excess of
5,750 sq. ft. of allowable Floor Area will require the payment of the then applicable
affordable housing impact fee for all Floor Area in excess of 5,750 square feet.
-5-
9. Residential Floor Area. The total Floor Area for residential uses was approved
through the County Growth Management Quota System and is allowed to be constructed without
the necessity of using Transferable Development Rights and is vested by this Agreement. For
purposes hereof, the term residential Floor Area shall have the meaning set forth on Exhibit R-
FA.

10. Aericultural Floor Area. The total square footage for agricultural uses that is
exempt as either pre-existing (grandfathered) and/or under the Code as it exists at the time of this
Agreement, all of which is vested under this Agreement, is as follows:

Note 1. Regarding Tracts 8 and 11: Notwithstanding the square footage limitations set forth
in the table above, Owner may demolish certain of the existing agricultural buildings currently
located on Tract 8 and replace any or all of such buildings as exempt (grandfathered) Agricultural
Building Floor Area on either Tract 8 or Tract 11, notwithstanding the fact that Tract 11 is less
than 20 acres (as to Hay Storage facilities). The buildings which Owner may demolish and replace
—7—
on either Tract 8 or Tract 1 I are listed in Exhibit #9 to the Detailed Submission Application and
described as small shed #1 (92 sq. ft.); pole barn #3 (627 sq..); pole barn #5 (160 sq. ft.); smed #8 (162 sq. ft.); small shed #9 (83
all
cabin #6/6A (186 sq. ft.); small shed #7 (60 sq. ft.); small shed
sq. ft.); and small shed #10 (92 sq. ft.) and are so noted on the site development plan. Any
replacement agricultural buildings to be built on Tract 11 may be built in the agricultural building
envelope designated on Tract 11 and may not exceed the total square footage (1,462 sq. ft.) that is
demolished from the above-described structures on Tract 8. The two other agricultural buildings
that may be demolished on Tract 8 but for which the square footage may not be relocated to Tract
11 are the main barn #2 (1,824 sq. ft.) and pole barn #4 (901 sq. ft.) for a total of 2,725 sq. ft. of
grandfathered square footage of agricultural structures required to remain on Tract 8.
Note 2. Regarding Tract 9: The agricultural building square footage may be built over the
existing tennis court in the agricultural building envelope. A previously existing agricultural shed
that was located on Tract 10 may be demolished (or simply moved) and re -located within Tract 9
and is 2,240 sq. ft. in size.
The exempt barn and agricultural building square footage amounts listed in Table 2
represent what is allowed by the Code as it exists at the time of this Agreement and the above two
notes represent agreements from prior approvals concerning relocation of grandfathered
agricultural buildings, and the right to build all such agricultural square footage is vested by this
Agreement. Upon the construction of new agricultural structures, the then -owner of the structure
shall record the Agricultural Covenant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit AG-Cov prior to
occupancy or use of the new agricultural structure. If in the future the County adopts Code
provisions that provide for increased floor area exemptions over the amounts shown in Table 2 for
agricultural buildings, then Tracts 8, 9, 10, 11 and the Fathering Parcel shall be entitled to construct
those increased amounts of exempt barn and agricultural building floor area.
11. Lot Line Adjustment between Tract 10 and Tract 9. The Owner previously
obtained approval from the County for a lot line adjustment between Tract 10 and Tract 9. The
Non -Development Easement restrictions previously imposed on Tract 10 were imposed upon the
new land included in Tract 10 that was formerly within Tract 9 as a result of the Lot Line
Adjustment and said restrictions were released from the land previously within Tract 10 that is
now included in Tract 9 by reason of the Lot Line Adjustment. This is reflected on the Plat.
12. Nature and Estimated Cost of Improvements. Owner shall be responsible for
construction and installation of all public improvements required hereunder. The nature, extent
and estimated cost of such improvements are set forth on the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit
EC. In the event the cost of the contemplated improvements exceeds those estimated on Exhibit
EC, Owner shall be solely responsible for the higher cost thereof.
13. Construction Schedule. The improvements provided for in this Agreement may be
developed and completed in phases and in any order; provided, however, a building permit for
-8-
construction of a residential dwelling on a particular parcel which requires completion of the
improvements secured by this Agreement shall not be issued untilthe construction by Owner or
the owner of the particular parcel, as applicable, of its required road access, water, electric and
telephone services as described herein have been commenced for such lot and the collateral
security C'Collateral Security") described below has been approved and accepted by the County
Attorney. At the time of submitting the Collateral Security to secure the construction of public
improvements, Owner or the owner of the particular parcel, as applicable, shall submit a
construction schedule indicating the estimated timing of the completion of said improvements or
phases thereof. All potable water system improvements, fire protection improvements and road
system improvements required to serve any new residential structure on Tracts 8, 9 or 11 shall be
completed before the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for each new residential structure that
is served by said improvements.
14. Collateral Security. Owner's performance of the obligations described on Exhibit
EC herein shall be secured by collateral sufficient to make reasonable provision for the completion
of said improvements in accordance with the construction schedule and specifications therefore in
the form of Collateral Security. The Collateral Security shall be documented in a manner
acceptable to the County Attorney and may be in the form of a letter of credit, a cash deposit or an
assignment of a certificate of deposit. In order to secure Owner's performance under this
Agreement, no building permit shall be issued for a residence on any of Tracts 8, 9, 11 or the
Fathering Parcel until such time as the Collateral Security for the improvements necessary to serve
the land that is seeking said building permit is provided to Pitkin County in a form acceptable to
the County Attorney. The Collateral Security shall be equal in value to the cost of the public
improvements not yet completed which are necessary to serve said parcel(s) described herein and
in conformance with Exhibit EC. Upon the acceptance of the Collateral Security by the County
Attorney, said building permit(s) therefore may issue.
a. As portions of the public improvements are completed, the County shall
inspect them; and, on approval and acceptance of such improvements by the County, the
County Attorney shall authorize the release of that amount of the security equal to the cost
of that portion of the improvements completed; provided, however, ten percent of the cost
of the improvements completed shall be retained until all public improvements provided
for the Tract seeking a building permit for a new residential structure are completed and
approved by the County.
b. Owner, or its successors, shall perform its obligations to construct the public
improvements provided for in this Agreement in substantial compliance with the
construction schedule approved at the time of building permit. If Owner fails to complete
the improvements in accordance therewith, Owner shall be given 90 days' written notice
from the Board of County Commissioners in which to complete the improvements. If
Owner fails to complete the improvements within the 90 -day period, the Board of County
Commissioners, upon 30 days' written notice to Owner, shall have the unconditional right
-9-
to draw upon the Collateral Security, as posted, to pay for improvements to be completed
by the County or pay any outstanding bills for any work already completed by any party
with the Owner having the right to bond over any outstanding liens on the property. Final
payment for any improvements completed by the County shall be made only after same
have been inspected and accepted by the County. Notwithstanding, during the 90 -day
notice period set forth above, Owner may submit an updated construction schedule and
Collateral Security to complete any outstanding improvements for review and acceptance
in good faith by the County Attorney. Acceptance of the updated construction schedule
and Collateral Security shall be at the reasonable discretion of the County.
C. In the event the Owner defaults hereunder and the County, by withdrawal
of funds, performs the obligations of the Owner hereunder, the County, in good faith, shall
be obligated to complete the improvements in an economically efficient manner as is
practicable. The County may require a reasonable default fee if set forth in Exhibit EC to
cover the County's administrative cost of completing the improvements in the event the
Owner defaults hereunder.
15. Site Plan Annroval Renuired. Prior to the submission of an application for a
building or other development permit for the expansion, remodel, development or redevelopment
of the Aspen House on Tract 8, a new residence on Tract 9, the Hex House on Tract 11, the Collins

complying with the requirements of the Approval Resolutions, the Site Plan shall demonstrate
compliance with Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the GMQS Covenant recorded at Reception No. 507540.
16. Preservation of Historic Structures.• Relocation of Historic Cabins. There are three
historic structures on the Ranch: the "Red Barn," the "Irrigator's Cabin" and the "Homestead
Cabin." Such three structures are hereby designated to the Pitkin County Historic Register.

of the Historic Structures designated to the County's Historic Register. Each of the three structures
is described on Exhibit HPP, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Owner
shall pay all expenses for and perform the restoration work and improvements to the three historic
structures described on Exhibit HPP within the timeframes set forth on Exhibit HPP. Further,
Owner shall maintain and repair the three historic structures after those structures are restored so
as to maintain the historic and architectural integrity of such historic structures. The Owner shall

on a spring that damages the floor of the Homestead Cabin. Owner shall have the right to relocate
the Homestead Cabin within the Non -Development Easement on the Fathering Parcel to a location
near its present location but outside the area influenced by the spring that has been damaging the
Homestead Cabin.
17. Vested Pronertv Rights. The Plat and the Approval Resolutions granting final PUD
and Subdivision approvals for the Ranch, including the Tracts, Fathering Parcel, lots, building
envelopes, setbacks and floor area established under the Plat and Approval Resolutions and as set
forth in this Agreement, constitute a Site Specific Development Plan pursuant to §§24-68-101, et.
seq., C.R.S., and the Ranch is hereby vested against any changes in the Pitkin County Land Use
Code until April 14, 2030. Such vesting shall apply to all the rights and entitlements set forth in
this Agreement, the Plat, the Approval Resolutions, and all other agreements and documents
executed by the County and County staff in connection with the Ranch.

(RESIDENTIAL FLOOR AREA)
5-20-70: MEASUREMENT OF FLOOR AREA
Floor area shall be measured based on the criteria in (a -e) except as modified in (f) for lots in the
Urban Growth Boundary area that are located in zone districts with floor area ratios, in (g) for
the VC and VR zone districts, and in (h) for the RR zone district.
(a) General
In measuring floor area, all dimensions shall be taken from the outside face of framing or other
primary wall members or from the center line of walls separating adjoining units of a building or
portion thereof. For strawbale or log wall construction and for foundation walls, all dimensions
shall be taken from the centerline of the wall. Veneer facades up to eight (8) inches in thickness
shall be excluded from the calculation of floor area; that portion of a fagade which exceeds eight
(8) inches shall be included. Fireplaces, elevators, stairs and similar features are included in the
floor area on each floor. Structures that do not exceed thirty (30) inches in height measured
above or below finished and natural grades, and that are not covered by a roof or horizontal
projection from a building are exempt from floor area calculations.
A minimum of two percent (2%) of the total floor area as calculated under the latest adopted
Building Codes, or fifty (50) sq. ft., whichever amount is greater, shall be a dedicated mechanical
area of at least seven feet (7') in height, which area shall contain mechanical, electrical and
plumbing equipment, but no laundry or other household uses or appliances. The mechanical area
may be dispersed in more than one location.
Mechanical areas less than two percent (2%) of the total floor area may be permitted when the
building permit application includes a complete mechanical plan showing placement of all
proposed systems and compliance with the latest adopted Building Codes. Mechanical plans
must be provided by a mechanical contractor or engineer, or other professional approved by the
Building Official.
(b) Roof and Deck Overhangs
The floor area of a building, or portion of a building, not provided with surrounding exterior
walls shall include the area under the horizontal projection of roofs or floors, when the roof or
floor exceeds eight (8) feet. These architectural projections are exempt for eight (8) feet of the
perimeter of each story of the structure. This exemption cannot be used to transfer space between
floors. Roof and deck overhangs greater than eight (8) feet may only be converted to enclosed
interior areas when the resulting floor area does not exceed maximum floor area that would
otherwise be applicable to the property under Table 5-1.
(c) Decks, Balconies, Stairways and Similar Features
-26-
Structures that exceed thirty (30) inches above natural or finished grade, and that are not covered
by a roof or architectural projection from a building, are exempt from floor area for up to fifteen
(15) percent of the approved floor area for the subject parcel or lot. Any areas in excess of fifteen
(15) percent shall be counted toward floor area. Decks, balconies, stairways, and similar features
with a horizontal projection greater than eight (8) feet may only be converted to enclosed interior
areas when the resulting floor area does not exceed maximum floor area that would otherwise be
applicable to the property under Table 5-1.
Pergolas and open shade structures shall be considered part of the fifteen (15) percent of the
approved floor area for decks, balconies, stairways, and similar features as specified above, so
long as the following criteria are met: Overall height cannot exceed twelve (12) feet above
finished or existing grade, whichever is most restrictive. At least seventy (70) percent of the area
of such structures shall be open to the sky. There shall be no more than two (2) layers of
structure above the column capitals. Principal beams shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet on
center and have a maximum dimension of six (6) inches in width and twelve (12) inches in
depth. Secondary beams shall be spaced at a minimum of twenty-four (24) inches on center and
have a maximum dimension of four (4) inches in width and ten (10) inches in depth. There shall
be no walls. The doubling of beams over the columns shall be permitted.
(d) Crawl Spaces
(1) A Horizontal Crawl Space means an area below the first usable floor of a building or portion
of a building, excluding decks, patios and terraces. Horizontal Crawl Spaces are exempt from
floor area calculations when less than five (5) feet six (6) inches in height. Horizontal Crawl
Spaces do not exceed the footprint of the exterior walls of the structure above, except that crawl
spaces may be detached from the principal structure when used for exterior uses such as jacuzzis,
spas, hospitality bars, water features, sprinkler systems, and pool mechanical areas. Such Crawl
Spaces shall be no larger than necessary to accommodate necessary mechanical equipment and
may not be used for other uses.
(2) A Vertical Crawl Space means an enclosed, unfinished, and non -habitable area that may
exceed five feet six inches (5'6") in height and is located between the exterior of a foundation
wall and the surface of the finished grade of a vertical or nearly vertical slope, which slope is
retained by an engineered system which requires a separation between the foundation wall and
the surface of the finished grade of the slope.
Vertical Crawl Spaces shall be exempt from floor area calculations, provided they comply with
the following:
(a) That the design is supported by an engineering/geologic study approved by the
Community Development Department, which requires a separation between an engineered

EXHIBIT HPP
(HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN)
1. Red Barn.
The Red Barn was originally built in 1886 and is located on Tract 8 off of Rose Spur Road near
the center of the McCabe Ranch. It is one of the more prominent agricultural buildings on the
Ranch. The foundation of this structure has washed out, causing the structure to lean and be out of
alignment. Many other critical elements of the structure, including the roof, the wood boards and
logs and the chinking also need to be restored. This structure is historically significant, in part
because of its use of logs that span the entire length of the rear wall. The Owner worked with the
County's Historic Preservation Officer to create a plan for restoration of the Red Barn. Owner has
filed an application for a building permit for the Red Barn based on that County -approved plan for
restoration. The building permit application details how this structure can be preserved and made
usable so that it can serve the Ranch. Renderings showing how the barn will appear following
restoration are attached.
Weather permitting, the restoration of the Red Barn will commence within six months after the
County approves the currently pending building permit application for the Red Barn and will be
completed within eighteen months after the issuance of such building permit.
2. Irrigator's Cabin.
The Irrigator's Cabin is located on Tract 8 near the Aspen House and may be re -located pursuant
to the Development and Vested Rights Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached. It is a
relatively small one -room cabin that has a long history of occupancy by ranch hands. The Owner
intends to renovate and make improvements to this structure that will allow the cabin to be
occupied from time -to -time by seasonal Ranch employees. The attached renderings show how the
Irrigator's Cabin will appear following its restoration.
The Owner worked with the County's Historic Preservation Officer to create a plan for restoration
of the Irrigator's Cabin. Owner has filed an application for a building permit for the Irrigator's
Cabin based on that County -approved plan for restoration.
Weather permitting, the restoration of the Irrigator's Cabin will commence within six months after
the County approves the currently pending building permit application for the Irrigator's Cabin
and will be completed within eighteen months after the issuance of such building permit.
-36-
3. Homestead Cabin.
The Homestead Cabin was built in 1886, is located on the Fathering Parcel and may be re -located
pursuant to the Development and Vested Rights Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached. The
Homestead Cabin sits in a spring and water comes into this structure through the floor. This is
causing the Homestead Cabin to deteriorate and to sink into the ground. This structure also needs
to be lifted so a new foundation can be installed and the logs can be replaced at the bottom of the
Cabin. This structure also needs a new roof and it needs rotten logs and worn out boards to be
replaced.
The Homestead Cabin is located in an area of the Ranch where cattle calving occurs in the late
winter and early spring. The calves are often birthed with the assistance of ranch hands in the
middle of the night and in harsh weather. When the structure is completed it will provide an ideal
location for ranch hands to stay during this time of year so they can be near to the cattle. The
Homestead's fireplace will provide heat to help warm new born calves that are brought into the
Homestead Cabin before returning to their mothers.
The plans for the Homestead Cabin are not complete. Preliminary plans have been reviewed with
the County's Historic Preservation Officer. Owner shall work diligently with the County's
Historic Preservation Officer to create a final restoration plan for the Homestead Cabin before
December 31, 2019. Once the final restoration plan is approved by the County's Historic
Preservation Officer, Owner will within twelve months thereafter file an application for a building
permit for the restoration of the Homestead Cabin. Weather permitting, the restoration of the
Homestead Cabin will commence within six months after the County approves such building
permit application for the Homestead Cabin and will be completed within eighteen months after
the issuance of such building permit.
