RE: Adams Subdivision Exemption and GMQS Exemption for a
Lot Split

Chuck Roth called us several days ago, giving us his verbal
approval of our Final Lot Split Plat configuration.
At his suggestion, we have made up two mylars of the approved
Plat for his signature. The Plat Ownership, Surveyor and
Title Agent Certificates have all been signed and notarized.
As of this date we have delivered to his office two Plat mylars,
a signed Sidewlk, Curb and Gutter Agreement along with a check
for $10.00, made payable to the Pitkin County Clerk and Re-
corder, for a plat recording.
As of this date we have also delivered to the Planning Office
our signed Affidavit of Posting and Mailing of Public Notice
for a Public Hearing tonight, including the Certified Mailing
receipts.
We hope all goes well this evening at the Public Hearing and
fervently hope that we might have the opportunity to sign a
Subdivision Exemption Agreement by the end of this week.
Thank you, again, for all your help and support.

DRAFT 03/01/94
March 1, 1994
Ms. Leslie Lamont
Aspen/Pitkin County Planning Department
130 South Galena Street
Aspen, Colorado 81611
RE: Application for Subdivision Exemption for Lot Split
pursuant to Section 7-1003A, Land Use Code: 795
Meadows Road, Aspen, Colorado
Dear Ms. Lamont:
Request is hereby made on behalf of James S. Adams and
Florence P. Adams, as owners of that property located at 795
Meadows Road, Aspen, Colorado (hereinafter collectively
"Applicants") for lot split approval pursuant to the requirements
of Section 7-1003A of the Land Use Regulations of the City of
Aspen. A completed Land Use Application form is attached as
Exhibit 111."
The Applicants seek to divide their property into two
separate lots. There is an existing single family dwelling
currently situated on the property. The house will remain in its
current location and configuration until such time as a building
permit is sought for an additional single family dwelling. At
such time, the house will either be demolished or relocated.
The requested lot split is depicted on the Plat of the
Westview Lot Split Subdivision prepared by Alpine Surveys dated
submitted herewith as Exhibit 112" (hereinafter
"Plat") .
The undersigned, James S. Adams, 795 Meadows Road, Aspen,
Colorado 81611 (telephone no. 303-925-3388) is the designated
representative authorized to act on our behalf. In addition, our
attorney, similarly authorized to act for purposes of this
application, is Paul J. Taddune, Taddune & Guest, 600 E. Hopkins
Avenue, Suite 301, Aspen, Colorado 81611 (telephone no. 303-925-
9190).

Ms. Leslie Lamont

The street address of the subject property is 795 Meadows
Road, Aspen, Colorado. A legal description and vicinity map
appears on the Plat.
Also submitted herewith and made a part hereof as Exhibit
113" is a certificate from Aspen Title Company disclosing the
ownership of the subject property, and lists the names of all
owners, and all mortgages, judgments, liens, easements, contracts
and other agreements affecting the subject property and
demonstrating the Applicants' ownership for purposes of this
application. A list of adjacent property owners is attached as
Exhibit "4."
This application complies with the substantive development
review standards of Section 7-1003 concerning lot splits.
Because the lot split is requested for the purpose of the
development of one (1) detached single family dwelling, in
addition to what already exists upon the property, and the
following conditions are met:
(a) The subject property is not located in a subdivision
approved by either the Pitkin County Board of
Commissioners or the City Council and the subject
property is described as a metes and bounds parcel that
has not been subdivided after the adoption of the
subdivision regulations by the City of Aspen on March
24, 1969.
(b) No more than two (2) lots will be created by the lot
split, and both lots will conform to the requirements
of the underlying R-15 zone district. A nine (9) inch
variance on the east side of the property and two ten
(10) foot side yard setbacks for the current structure
were granted by the Board of Adjustment on February 3,
1994 (Case No. 94-1). A copy of.the Record of
Proceedings of the Board of Adjustment in this regard
is attached as Exhibit "5."
(c) The subject property was not previously the subject of
an exemption under the provisions within the meaning of
Section 7-1003A.2.C.
(d) Applicants intend to submit and record a subdivision
plat indicating that no further subdivision may be
granted for the lots, nor will additional units be
built on each lot without receipt of applicable
approvals pursuant to Article 7 and the Growth
Management Allocation requirements of Article 8 of the
Land Use Regulations of the City of Aspen.

Beginning in 1987 I represented Jim and Florence Adams in a quiet title
action to clear up some title defects on their house and property on Meadows
road. As part of that I obtained a title commitment from and worked with Randy
in your office. As far as I recalled we obtained everything necessary including a
summary judgment and several quit claim deeds to make sure the Adamses had
clear title. Again as I recall the title issues were caused in large part by some
survey problems in the area.
When my work was done I told Jim to call Randy, find out what the
remaining premium was (we paid $500 for a TBD commitment), and get the
policy on his house issued. He then called and left me a message to the effect
that you (I think) had some question and were reluctant to issue a policy.
I assume there is some miscommunication that can be cleared up by the
two of us. We did everything Stewart asked, in a careful and thorough way. I
understand Stewart may be gunshy, given its lawsuit with Senior Hallam and
Savannah in the area. However, we took great pains at considerable expense to
distinguish ourselves from Savannah and Senior Hallam, and in fact we have
deeds from both Savannah and Senior Hallam. The Adamses spent several
thousand dollars in legal fees in reliance upon your firm's commitment. Therefore
you should have no hesitancy whatsoever in following up on your firm's
commitment and issuing a policy --once you have all the facts.
I enclose copies of the deeds, and the summary judgment. I'd be happy to
take you to lunch next week to clear up the problem for Jim and Florence. Give

We need a few changes in the commitment. Jim Adams thinks $850,000 is
a sufficient amount. I think we agreed that the recording of the summary
judgment order would suffice for Schedule B, Section 1 (1). Please change the
wording of item 2, delete the note in item 2 and delete item 3 concerning the
transfer tax, as we are obtaining title insurance for Jim and Flo, and they do not
have any immediate desire to sell.
In Schedule B, Section 2, would you give a mineral protection endorsement
for item 8, and is some similar protective endorsement available for items 9 and
I I, and do we need to locate those? I assume 12 would be deleted upon your
complete examination of County records as noted.
Finally, with regard to item 10, Schedule B, Section 2, the reason we
quieted title to Parcel D, as described in the commitment, was to enable the title
company (then Stewart) to delete this exception. As you will see from D's
description, it is an easement that goes to "the West edge of Meadows Road, a
public road." Given that, don't you agree item 10 can be deleted? The brief and
motion for summary judgment specifically discuss that Jim and Flo built the
driveway to Meadows Road and occupied it openly and notoriously for over 18
years.
Thanks.

R-15 zone district. There is an existing single family residence
on the parcel. The Adams wish to split the parcel creating two
approximately 17,000 square foot residential parcels.
The split of a lot for the purposes of the development of one
detached single-family dwelling is a subdivision exemption. In
addition, the development of a single family home on a lot formed
by a lot split is also a GMQS Exemption by Council.
Pursuant to Sections 24-7-1003 and 24-8-104 C., a lot split
subsequent to November 14, 1977 may be granted if all of the
following conditions are met:
A. The land is not located in a subdivision approved by either the
Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners of the city council,
or the land is described as a metes and bounds parcel which has
not been subdivided after the adoption of the subdivision
regulations by the City of Aspen on March 24, 1969,
RESPONSE: The property is a metes and bounds parcel, is not located
in a subdivision approved by either the BOCC or Council, and has
not been subdivided after 1969.
B. No more than two lots are created by the lot split, both lots
conform to the requirements of the underlying zone district and the
applicant commits that any lot for which development is proposed
will contain an accessory dwelling unit. When there is demolition
of the property which makes it subject to the provision of Article
5, Division 7, Replacement Housing Program, the standards of that
program shall supersede these requirements; and
RESPONSE: No more than 2 lots will be created by this lot split.
The two parcels will conform to the underlying R-15 zone district
requirements.
Currently, a single family residence exists on the property in
approximately the center of the parcel. The Adams received (2) ten
foot side yard setback variations from the Board of Adjustment to
proceed with this lot split without having to tear down the
existing structure. Without the side yard setback variation, an
approved lot split would technically create side yard non -
conformities as the new property line will split the home in half.
Upon the sale of either parcel the home will be demolished or
relocated. Mr. Adams requested the variance to avoid tearing down
his home until such time that the parcels are sold.
An accessory dwelling unit shall be required, and reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission, prior to the issuance of any
building permits for the newly created parcel. In addition, if the
existing home is demolished and reconstructed, the provision of an
accessory dwelling unit or cash -in -lieu shall also be required.
C. The lot under consideration, or any part thereof, was not
previously the subject of an exemption under the provisions of this
article or a "lot split" exemption pursuant to a GMQS Exemption by
Council.
RESPONSE: The subject parcel was not previously granted an
exemption under the provisions of Chapter 24, the Land Use section
of the Municipal Code.
D. A subdivision plat is submitted and recorded after approval,
indicating that no further subdivision may be granted for these
lots nor will additional units be built without receipt of
applicable approvals pursuant to this article and growth management
allocation pursuant to Article 8.
2
RESPONSE: A subdivision plat and subdivision exemption agreement
shall be reviewed by the Planning and Engineering Departments and
shall be recorded within 180 days of final approval. Failure to
record the agreement and plat shall nullify the approval.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed lot
split with the following conditions:
1. All material representations made by the applicant in the
application and during public meetings with the Council shall be
adhered to and considered conditions of approval, unless otherwise
amended by other conditions.
2. The subdivision plat and subdivision exemption agreement shall
be reviewed and approved by the Engineering and Planning
Departments and shall be filed within 180 days of final approval
or subdivision approval is void.

1004 of the Municipal Code and shall include the following:
a. The surveyor's certificate or a note on the drawing must
state that all easements of record as indicated on Title
Policy No. , dated have been shown.

STAFF COMMENTS: The Adams own a 35,305 square foot parcel in the
R-15 zone district. There is an existing single family residence
on the parcel. The Adams wish to split the parcel creating two
approximately 17,000 square foot residential parcels.
The split of a lot for the purposes of the development of one
detached single-family dwelling is a subdivision exemption. In
addition, the development of a single family home on a lot formed
by a lot split is also a GMQS Exemption by Council.
Pursuant to Sections 24-7-1003 and 24-8-104 C., a lot split
subsequent to November 14, 1977 may be granted if all of the
following conditions are met:
a. The land is not located in a subdivision approved by either the
Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners of the city council,
or the land is described as a metes and bounds parcel which has
not been subdivided after the adoption of the subdivision
regulations by the City of Aspen on March 24, 1969; and
•
•
RESPONSE: The property is a metes and bounds parcel, is not located
in a subdivision approved by either the BOCC or Council, and has
not been subdivided after 1969.
b. No more than two lots are created by the lot split, both lots
conform to the requirements of the underlying zone district and the
applicant commits that any lot for which development is proposed
will contain an accessory dwelling unit. When there is demolition
of the property which makes it subject to the provision of Article
5, Division 7, Replacement Housing Program, the standards of that
program shall supersede these requirements; and
RESPONSE: No more than 2 lots will be created by this lot split.
The two parcels will conform to the underlying R-15 zone district
requirements.
Currently, a single family residence exists on the property in
approximately the center of the parcel. The Adams received (2) ten
foot side yard setback variations from the Board of Adjustment to
proceed with this lot split without having to tear down the
existing structure. Without the side yard setback variation, an
approved lot split would technically create side yard non -
conformities as the new property line will split the home in half.
Upon the sale of either parcel the home will be demolished or
relocated. Mr. Adams requested the variance to avoid tearing down
his home until such time that the parcels are sold.
An accessory dwelling unit shall be required, and reviewed by the
Planning and Zoning Commission, prior to the issuance of any
building permits for the newly created parcel. In addition, if the
existing home is demolished and reconstructed, the provision of an
accessory dwelling unit or cash -in -lieu shall also be required.
C. The lot under consideration, or any part thereof, was not
previously the subject of an exemption under the provisions of this
article or a "lot split" exemption pursuant to a GMQS Exemption by
Council.
RESPONSE: The subject parcel was not previously granted an
exemption under the provisions of Chapter 24, the Land Use section
of the Municipal Code.
D. A subdivision plat is submitted and recorded after approval,
indicating that no further subdivision may be granted for these
lots nor will additional units be built without receipt of
applicable approvals pursuant to this article and growth management
allocation pursuant to Article 8.
RESPONSE: A subdivision plat and subdivision exemption agreement

f. The final plat needs to show irrigation and drainage ditches that are located
between the applicant's property line and the centerline of the Meadows Road
right-of-way.
3. Sidewalk, Curb & Gutter - There is currently a trail along about half of the frontage
of the property. The roadway in front of the property does not currently contain curb and
gutter. Prior to final plat approvals, the applicant needs to enter an agreement to
construct sidewalk, curb and gutter if required by the City in the future.
4. Storm Runoff - It should be a condition of approval for the lot split be that
development or redevelopment of the property meet the storm runoff requirements of
Section 24-7-1004.C.4.f. This would provide for only historic storm runoff to be permitted
to leave the site.
5. Utilities - Any new surface utility needs for pedestals or other facilities must be
installed on an easement provided by the applicant and not in the public right-of-way.
6. Improvement Districts - The applicant shall agree to join any future improvements
districts for improvements to be constructed in the public right-of-way.
7. Development in the Public Right-of-way - Given the continuous problems of
unapproved work and development in the public rights -of -way, we advise the applicant as
follows:
The applicant shall consult city engineering (920-5080) for design
considerations of development within public rights -of -way, parks department
(920-5120) for vegetation species, and shall obtain permits for any work or
development, including landscaping, within public rights -of -way from city
streets department (920-5130).
Approval of building permit plans does not constitute approval of design or work in the
public right-of-way.

Re: Adams Subdivision Exemption for a Lot Split
Having reviewed the above referenced application, and having made a site inspection, the
Engineering Department has the following comments:
1. Driveway & Access - The applicant has met with the Engineering Department several
times concerning the access and driveway. The access to Lot 2 will be on the same,
existing driveway as Lot 1. The access will then cross on an easement across Lot 1 as
shown on the plat.
There is language on the plat regarding an easement in what Engineering interprets
as public right-of-way. The ownership of the area was once in dispute, so we have
permitted the notes indicated on the plat. (The applicant has delivered a more recent
revision than the plat submitted with the application.)
2. Final Plat - The final plat needs to meet the requirements of Section 24-7-1004 of the
Municipal Code and to include the following:
a. The surveyor's certificate or a note on the drawing must state that all easements
of record as indicated on Title Policy No. , dated have been shown.

V.
SAVANAH LIMITED PARTNERSHIP; ALAN R. NOVAK; JOHN H. ROBERTS,
JR.; SENIOR/HALLAM JOINT VENTURE; THE STATE OF COLORADO;
MAINLAND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, and all unknown persons who claim

Defendants.
Plaintiffs, JAMES S. ADAMS and FLORENCE ADAMS, by their
attorneys, J. NICHOLAS McGRATH, P.C., for claims for relief
aver and allege as follows:
FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF
1. The plaintiffs are the owners in joint tenancy and in
possession of the following real property situated in Pitkin
County, Colorado:
"PARCEL A:
A parcel of land lying Easterly of and adjacent to a
tract deeded to Adams and described in Book 172 at
Page 316 of the Pitkin County records, lying
Northerly of and adjacent to a line described in
Civil Action No. 3448 and recorded in Book 208 at
Page 148 of the Pitkin County records and situated in
Lot 4 of Section 12, Township 10 South, Range 85 West
of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Aspen, Pitkin
County, Colorado, more particularly described as
follows:
Beginning at the Northeast corner of said Adams Tract
being identical with the Northwest corner of said Lot

25.54 feet; thence S 02" 16102" W 47.69 feet to a
line described in said Civil Action No. 3448; thence
1
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
N 82° 00100" W 23.75 feet along said line to a point
on the Easterly boundary of said Adams property;
thence North (record: N 00° 54' W) 46.92 feet along
said Easterly boundary to the point of beginning;
containing 1159.61 square feet, more or less.
PARCEL B:
A parcel of land lying Easterly of and adjacent to a
tract deeded to Adams and described in Book 172 at
Page 316 of the Pitkin County records, lying
Southerly of and adjacent to a line described in
Civil Action No. 3448 and recorded in Book 208 at
Page 148 of the Pitkin County Records and situated in
Lot 4 of Section 12, Township 10 South, Range 85 West
of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Aspen, Pitkin
County, Colorado, more particularly described as
follows:
Beginning at a point, being the intersection of the
Easterly boundary line of said Adams Tract and a line
described in said Civil Action No. 3448 whence the
Northwest corner of said Lot 4, a 3/8 x 1 inch iron
bar, bears North 46.92 feet; thence S 82° 00100" E
23.75 feet along the line described in said Civil
Action No. 3448; thence S 020 16102" W 101.57 feet;
thence N 84° 14100" W 19.60 feet to the Easterly line
of said Adams Tract; thence North (record: N 00° 54'
W) 102.83 feet along said Easterly line to the point
of beginning; containing 2202.92 square feet, more or
less.
PARCEL C:
A parcel of land being part of that tract deeded to
Adams and described in Book 172 at Page 316 of the
Pitkin County records, lying Northerly of and
adjacent to a line described in Civil Action No. 3448
and recorded in Book 208 at Page 148 of the Pitkin
County records, and situated in Lot 3 in the
Northwest 1/4 of Section 12, Township 10 South, Range
85 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Aspen,
Pitkin County, Colorado, more particularly described
as follows:
Beginning at the Northeast corner of said Adams Tract
being identical with the Northeast corner of said Lot
3, a 3/8 x 1 inch iron bar; thence South 46.92 feet
2
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
along the East line of said Lot 3 to the intersection
with said line described in Civil Action No. 3448;
thence N 82° 00100" W 214.40 feet along said line
described in Civil Action No. 3448 to the
intersection with the West line of said Adams Tract;
thence N 000 54100" E 38.59 feet along the West line
of said Adams Tract to the Northwest corner of said
Adams Tract; thence S 84' 14100" E 214.00 feet along
the North line of said Adams Tract to the point of
beginning; containing 9081.2 square feet, more or
less."
2. The State of Colorado is made a party to this action
under the provisions of §39-23-144 C.R.S. 1973. No proceedings
are pending in any court of this state wherein the taxability
of any transfer of the real property described as Parcels A, B,
and C, and the liability for inheritance tax, may be
determined, but all parties, if any, interested in this
transfer and in the taxability have been made parties.
3. As particularly as known or can by due diligence be
ascertained, Edward Senior, died testate, and the names of all
the heirs entitled to any interest in the real property above
described are Robert M. Senior, Clara S. Iglauer, and Agnes
Seasongood. As particularly as known or can by due diligence
be ascertained, these three heirs are also deceased. Upon
information and belief, Senior/Hallam Joint Venture is
composed of Edward Senior, Janet S. Hoffheimer, Robert Senior,
Clara S. Spritz, Laura Youngs, Harriet S. Iglauer, Arnold
Iglauer, Austin and Jordan, a Colorado general partnership,
James J. Mollica, and Gerard H. Pesman. Upon information and
belief, they have acceded to the interest of the Senior heirs.
4. Defendant Alan R. Novak is named herein because he
may claim some interest in the property by virtue of a lis
pendens recorded in Book 506 at Page 852 of the records of
Pitkin County.
5. John H. Roberts, Jr., executed a deed of trust in
favor of Mainland Savings Association on July 25, 1985. Part
of the security includes Parcels A and C. Neither Roberts nor
Mainland have any interest in the property. Whatever interest
they had has been succeeded to by Savanah.
6. There may be persons interested in the subject matter
of this action whose names cannot be inserted herein because
the names are unknown to the plaintiffs although diligent
efforts have been made to ascertain the names of the persons;
9
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
such persons have been made defendants and designated as "all
unknown persons who claim any interest in the subject matter of
this action"; so far as plaintiffs' knowledge extends, the
interests of the unknown parties are derived through some one
or more of the named defendants.
7. The defendants claim some right, title, or interest
in and to the above described real property adverse to
plaintiffs; the claims of the defendants are without foundation
or right.
8. Plaintiffs' possession of the subject property has
been actual, adverse, hostile, under claim of right, exclusive
and uninterrupted for over eighteen (18) years as follows: the
possession has been a general holding and occupance with
complete dominion over the property involved to the exclusion
of others; plaintiffs have improved the subject property by
planting plants and fruit trees and cultivating the land; the
east boundary of parcel A and B have been demarcated with split
rail fencing and trees by plaintiffs; plaintiffs placed an old
Conestoga wagon on the subject property; plaintiffs created a
horseshoe pit and have played horseshoes on the subject area.
All of these improvements were made by the plaintiffs relying
upon their possession and occupancy of the subject property
under claim of right and title thereto and relying upon their
title and ownership thereof. Plaintiffs are now owners of the
fee simple title to the subject property through more than 18
years' continuous, open, hostile, notorious, and adverse
possession.
9. The persons holding the apparent record title to the
subject property have not exercised dominion over such property
at any time during the period of 18 years preceding the filing
of this suit.
10. Parcels A and B are subject to easements by Holy
Cross Electric and the City of Aspen.
SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF
11. Paragraphs one through nine are realleged and
incorporated herein by this reference.
12. Since 1954, plaintiffs have been the owners of
certain real property located at 795 Meadows Road, Aspen,
Colorado and more fully described as follows:
4
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
Beginning at the NE corner of Lot 3, Section 12,
Township 10 S, range 85W 6th P.M. Pitkin County,
Colorado, which is corner number 1; thence N 84' 14'
W. 214 feet to corner number 2 thence S 0° 43' E.
150 feet to corner number 3; thence S 840 14' E. 214
feet to corner number 4; thence N 0° 54' W. 150 feet
to corner number 1, the point of beginning. Together
with a right of way over and across the east boundary
of grantor's land as a means of ingress and egress to
grantee's land. Said strip of ground to be sixteen
feet wide and to be used for road purposes.
13. Defendant Savanah Limited Partnership may be the
record title owner of Parcel A, and defendant the estate of
Edward Senior or defendant Senior/Hallam Joint Venture may be
the record owner of Parcel B as described in paragraph one.
Until May 3, 1977, the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies
was apparently the record title owner of Parcel A.
14. The west boundary of Parcels A and B adjoins the east
boundary of plaintiff's property described in paragraph twelve.
15. In 1965, the plaintiffs constructed a driveway
approximately 30 feet in width, from plaintiffs' property to
the public road known as Meadows Road. The driveway is
constructed through Parcel B. Exhibit "A," attached and
incorporated herein, shows plaintiffs' property, Parcels A and
B, and marks Meadows Road and the driveway.
16. The driveway is fully described as follows:
EASEMENT A:
(This easement description is meant to delineate a
strip of land connecting a tract described in deed to
Adams recorded in Book 172 at Page 316 of the Pitkin
County records and the actual edge of Meadows Road)
A thirty foot driveway easement situated in Lot 4 of
Section 12, Township 10 South, range 85 West of the
6th Principal Meridian, City of Aspen, Pitkin County,
Colorado, Being 15 feet on each side of the following
described centerline:
Beginning at a point on the East line of a tract
described in deed to Adams recorded in Book 172 at
Page 316 of the records of Pitkin County whence the
Northeast corner of said Adams tract, a 3/8 x 1 inch
5
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
iron bar, bears North 112.75 feet; thence S 63°
00100" E 39.00 feet to the West edge of Meadows Road,
a public road."
17. Since 1965, a period of 18 years or more, the
plaintiffs have used the driveway under a claim of right
openly, visibly, notoriously and adversely to defendants.
18. The use of the driveway by plaintiffs have been
continuous and uninterrupted for the above -described period.
Plaintiffs have used the driveway twice daily or more since
1965.
19. There is no other access to plaintiffs' property
except via the driveway. Meadows Road is the only improved,
public and usable road in the vicinity of Parcels A and B and
the plaintiffs' property.
THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF
20. Paragraphs one through nine, and twelve through
fifteen are realleged and incorporated herein by this
reference.
21. In 1965, one or two months before constructing the
driveway, Tom Sardy, representing the Aspen Institute, orally
granted the plaintiffs the right of way driveway from
plaintiffs' property to Meadows Road over the property then
belonging to the Aspen Institute.
22. Plaintiffs relied upon the foregoing representation
by defendants and by end of 1965, the driveway had been
completed and all construction costs had been paid and
plaintiffs had commenced using the driveway; an easement by
estoppel in plaintiffs' favor was thereby created. Further,
the plaintiffs gave up rights to an alternate access easement
previously granted to them by a warranty deed in 1954.
FOURTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF
23. Paragraphs one through nine, and paragraphs ten and
twelve are realleged and incorporated herein by this reference.
24. In Civil Action No. 3448, the Aspen Institute was
adjudged the owner in fee simple, by the Pitkin County District
Court, of Parcel A and dkhat is marked Parcel C in Exhibit "A."
Z
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
According to the boundary line set by that civil action,
approximately one third of the northerly section of plaintiffs'
tract, as described by paragraph twelve would belong to the
successors in interest to the Aspen Institute.
25. In 1954, a survey encompassing the subject property
was taken by a surveyor named Teller. A round U.S. brass cap
marked "CN 1/16 S12 1954" was placed on what is currently
Meadows Road, as marked on Exhibit "A." This brass cap was
erroneously believed to be placed to mark a sixteenth corner,
more commonly knows as the 1140 corner." The Teller survey was
never approved by the United States Department of Interior.
26. In 1978, Ray Harpin, a BLM surveyor, determined that
the iron bar, that marks and lies upon the Northeast corner of
the Adams tract described in paragraph eleven, is the correct
40 corner. The Harpin survey was approved in February 1980 by
the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management.
27. In Civil Action No. 3448, the parties, and hence the
decree, utilized the incorrect Teller brass cap.
28. In order to demark its property from that of the
plaintiffs, in 1955 defendant the Aspen Institute planted
cottonwood trees on the northern boundary of the plaintiffs'
tract, and on the easterly side of the split rail fence that
marks the easterly boundary of Parcels A and B, and in 1965,
the Aspen Institute erected a fence on the northern boundary of
the plaintiffs' tract. These actions are consistent only with
plaintiffs' ownership of their tract, described in paragraph
twelve, and with the plaintiffs' ownership of Parcels A, B and
C, as well as with the Harpin location of the 40 corner.
29. The plaintiffs were not named in Civil Action No.
3448 as a named party to the action and the court adjudicated
the property utilizing the incorrect 40 corner. Therefore,
defendant the Aspen Institute could obtain no rights in that
action against the plaintiffs.
30. Title to Parcels A, B, and C should be confirmed in
the plaintiffs notwithstanding the decree in Civil Action No.
3448.
WHEREFORE, plaintiffs pray for a complete adjudication of
the rights of all parties to this action with respect to the
real property above described; for an order requiring the
defendants to set forth the nature of their claims, determining
that the defendants and each of them have no interest, estate,
Pitkin Co. Dist. Ct. Case No. 85CV364
or claim of any kind whatsoever in the real property described
herein as parcels A, B, and C, forever barring and enjoying the
defendants from asserting any claim or title thereto, quieting
the title of the plaintiffs in and to the real property and
adjudging that the plaintiff are the owners in fee simple in
joint tenancy and entitled to possession of the real property;
and for such other relief as the Court may seem proper.
Further, the plaintiffs pray for a complete adjudication that
plaintiffs are the owners of an easement of way as set out in
Exhibit "A" over defendants' property; and an order permanently
enjoining defendants from obstructing such easement.
Additionally, the plaintiffs pray that the court determine that
the defendants and each of them have no interest, estate, or
claim of any kind whatsoever in the northerly section of the
Adams tract described herein as Parcel C and for such other and
further relief as may be appropriate in the circumstances.
