STAFF ENGINEER: Eva Wilson
RECOMMENDATION: Approval
L SUMMARY:
The intent of this Minor Type `A' Subdivision is:
1. To Amend Parcel 2 of the Crawford Reese Minor Subdivision;
2. To create Parcel `B' for the purpose of creating a future development site, and;
3. To create Parcel `C' for the purpose of creating a bus parking facility for the Roaring Fork School District.
The proposed subdivision will create parcels that were either previously created by metes and bounds legal
descriptions, or which have previously been included in other subdivisions approved by Eagle County. Likewise, a
significant portion of the lands to be created within Parcels `A' have been developed for years. Specifically,
proposed Parcel `A' encompasses portions of the commercial area of El Jebel, as well as the El Jebel Mobile Home
Park located on the east side of El Jebel Road.
This plat has been reviewed by the Eagle County Surveyor, as well as the Eagle County Assessor's Office,
Attorney's Office, Engineering and Planning Departments for compliance with platting, addressing and subdivision
requirements. Further, traffic reports have been reviewed in relation to the creation of `Parcel C' and future trip
generation stemming from bus parking in the future. All technical corrections have been satisfactorily addressed by
the Applicant's surveyor and there are no outstanding issues or concerns associated with the approval of this
subdivision.
Staff suggests that all necessary findings are,or can be met and that notification requirements have been met.

III.STAFF FINDINGS:
Pursuant to Section 5-290.G.1 — Standards for Type A Subdivision, Eagle County Land Use Regulations
(ECLURs), the Planning Department has considered the following in the review of this Type `B' Minor
Subdivision:
a. Consistent with Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision shall be in substantial conformance with
the purposes, intents, goals and policies of the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan,Area Community Plans
and any applicable ancillary County adopted documents pertaining to natural resource protection,
affordable housing or infrastructure management. (am 11/08/05) (am 05/08/12)
Staff Response:
Staff believes that the proposed subdivision is in substantial conformance with applicable master plans,
specifically the Mid-Valley Community Master Plan which identifies the subject property as being within
the Highway 82 Character Area. Specifically,the platting of these properties support Land Use goals such
as providing lands to meet the needs of, and reflect the desires of the community; in this case,providing
adequate space for civic uses such as the Roaring Fork School District by way of providing land for future
school bus parking.
b. Consistent with Land Use Regulations. The proposed subdivision shall comply with all of the standards of
this Section and all other provisions of these Land Use Regulations, including, but not limited to, the
applicable standards of Article 3, Zone Districts, and Article 4, Site Development Standards.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposed subdivision is consistent with the standards for Minor Type `A' Subdivision.
Likewise, any future improvements(parking lot construction and/or the construction of School District
Buildings)on Parcel `C' will require proper permitting and review by Eagle County.At that time,Article 4
standards will be applied.
c. Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. The proposed subdivision shall be located and designed to avoid
creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or required duplication
or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a leapfrog pattern of development.
Staff Response:
The proposed subdivision amends existing subdivision boundaries from previously approved minor
subdivisions,while creating two new parcels for future development in an area of unincorporated Eagle
County that is 1)already developed, and 2)served by existing infrastructure, or within the service district
boundaries of utility providers.
(1) Utility and Road Extensions. Proposed utility extensions shall be consistent with the utility service
plan or shall require prior County approval of an amendment to the service plan. Proposed road
extensions shall be consistent with the Eagle County Road Capital Improvements Plan.
Staff Response:
24
07/07/2015
No utility extensions are proposed in association with this subdivision and the parcels created are
located within an area of unincorporated Eagle County that is 1)already developed, and 2) served by
existing infrastructure, or within the service district boundaries of utility providers.
(2) Service Ultimate Population. Utility lines shall be sized to serve the planned ultimate population of
the service area in order to both avoid future land disruption, and the necessity of upgrading under-
sized lines.
Staff Response:
No new extensions of existing utilities are proposed with this subdivision.
d. Suitability for Development. The property proposed to be subdivided shall be suitable for development,
considering its topography, environmental resources and natural or man-made hazards that may affect the
potential development of the property, and existing and probable future improvements to the area.
Staff Response:
The parcels created by the proposed subdivision are generally considered to be appropriate and suitable for
development. The parcels created by virtue of this plat are either already developed and served by existing
infrastructure, or could be logically developed in the future given 1) existing zoning, 2) existing utility and
other infrastructure to serve existing and future development, and 3)master plan and Future Land Use Map
(FLUM)designations for Crawford Properties, LLC land holdings.
e. Compatible with Surrounding Uses. The proposed subdivision shall be generally compatible with the
existing and currently permissible future uses of adjacent land and other substantially impacted land,
services or infrastructure improvements. (am 05/08/12)
Staff Response: See above comments.
f. Improvements Agreements. The adequacy of the proposed Improvements Agreement, where applicable.
Staff Response:NA.
g. Conformance with Final Plat Requirements. Its conformance with the Final Plat requirements and other
applicable regulations,policies, standards, and guidelines.
Staff Response:
The proposed subdivision has been reviewed by the County Surveyor; the Eagle County Assessor's Office,as
well as the Eagle County Engineering and Planning Departments and has been presented to the Board of
Commissioners for approval and signature-in conformance with Final Plat requirements, regulations and
standards.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Hunn presented the request. The purpose of the request was to amend a parcel of the Crawford Reese
Minor Subdivision to create a Parcel `B', for future development and Parcel `C' for a school district bus parking
facility. There were no outstanding issues or concerns associated with the approval of this subdivision.
Doug Platte explained that the Parcel `A' would remain the same.
Mr. Hunn reviewed the findings. Staff believed that the request met the standards.
Mr. Platt spoke about the future school facilities in the area. The school district was going through a
facility master plan process which recognized their ownership of the site and the need for a future school site in the
mid-valley area.
Shannon Pelland, Assistant Superintendent for the Roaring Fork School District spoke. In 2001 the district
identified the need for a site between Carbondale to Basalt. She believed it was a perfect fit. The need was
identified in the master plan.
25
07/07/2015
Mr. Hunn explained the reason for the traffic study.
Chairman Chandler-Henry wondered how the buses would get on and off the parcel.
Mr. Platte stated that the access would be from HWY 82 up to JW Drive.
Mr. Hunn stated that a grading permit would be required to prepare the site.
Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about any environmental concerns.
Mr. Platte stated that as far as environmental issues, there were none but they had considered water
drainage.
Commissioner McQueeney believed the file was fairly straight forward and made sense.
Chairman Chandler-Henry and Commissioner Ryan believed the request met the standards.
Commissioner Ryan moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve File No. SMA-5247 based
on staff's review, as well as the demonstration that all required findings and final plat requirements have been met.
I further move to authorize the Chair to sign the plat.
Commissioner McQueeney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.

REPRESENTATIVE: Chris Green, AGO Studio
STAFF PLANNER: Scot Hunn,AICP
STAFF ENGINEER: Taylor Ryan
RECOMMENDATION: Approval with Conditions
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Request
The Applicant requests review of a Special Use Permit for a marijuana cultivation facility consisting of up to five
(5) acres of outdoor marijuana cultivation, in addition to the use of two existing structures—an existing single-
family home that will be used for security and storage, and; an existing shed that will be used for storage of tools
used in the operation -on this 87 acre parcel located in the Resource Zone District.No other greenhouse structures
or other new structures are proposed.
Process
Cultivation of marijuana within three residential zone districts—Resource(35 acre minimum lot size),Resource
Limited(20 acre minimum lot size),and Agricultural Residential(10 acre minimum lot size)requires approval via
26
07/07/2015
Special Use Review. As such, each such proposal must meet special use standards, as well as standards specific to
cultivation of marijuana.
Staff Findings and Issues
The proposal was reviewed for conformance with the special use standards of Section 5-250 B—Standards, as well
as those for marijuana cultivation, Section 3-310 F.f—Marijuana Cultivation,Manufacturing or Testing, Eagle
County Land Use Regulations(ECLURs), and staff has found that most if not all standards are met, or that they can
be met with proper conditions of approval.
The following matrix summarizes the applicable standards for Special Use Review(Section 5-250.B)as well as
staff's findings and discussion of conformance.
Standard Conformance Discussion
The proposal continues rural density and agricultural uses within
Consistency with Yes an area of Eagle County identified as being appropriate for such
Comprehensive Plan uses, and the proposal could be seen as continuing or enhancing
agricultural business enterprise.
The proposed use is allowed by Special Use Review, wherein
standards for both special use review and for cultivation of
Compatibility Yes marijuana are intended to ensure that the use and design of a
project is compatible with surrounding uses. Staff suggests that
this is an agricultural use proposed in a rural,
residential/agricultural area of unincorporated Eagle County.
Zone District Standards Yes The proposal meets the standards for Resource Zone District with
regard to density and dimensional limitations.
The proposal reasonably avoids adverse impacts, including visual
Design Minimizes impacts of the proposed use on adjacent lands including trash,

resources.
The proposal will have minimal impact on existing and/or future
Impact on Public public facilities in the Bond and McCoy area; this is a proposal to
Facilities Yes continue low density residential uses as well as agricultural
operations in an area historically used in this manner.
Variations from driveway standards have been proposed in
Mixed— accordance with the ECLURs. Staff supports variations to
Site Development maximum driveway grade, minimum width, and spacing of
Standards variations are vehicle turnouts for an existing driveway which shall serve as the
required primary access. (See full discussion under Section III — Staff
Findings and Recommendation on page 8 of 22).
Other Standards Yes Cultivation Standards are applicable; see analysis below.
Cultivation Standards
In addition to the standards listed above, cultivation facilities within the Resource Zone District must also meet the
following standards specific to the cultivation of marijuana. Below is a summary of the standards, as well as staff's
response to how such standards have been,or can be,met.
Standard Conformance Discussion
Separation Distance Yes The proposal is located well in excess of the minimum 200'
27
07/07/2015
separation distance to "sensitive" uses such as single-family
residential uses or day care facilities. The closest residential
structure is located approximately 900 feet away from the
proposed cultivation area.
Minimum Lot Size Yes The minimum lot size in Resource Zone District is 35 acres; the
subject property includes 87 acres.
Parking and Loading Yes Parking and loading on the subject property exceed minimum
standards.
Standard Conformance Discussion
Signs and Illumination Yes No signs are proposed advertising the cultivation facility and
illumination will comply with County standards.
Sales Yes No sales of marijuana are proposed at the property.
No specific screening is proposed or required at this time due to
Visual Screening Yes the proximity of the property relative to adjacent roadway and/or
surrounding residential uses.
Variations from driveway (grade) standards have been proposed
Scale Yes in accordance with the ECLURs. Staff supports variations to
maximum driveway grade. (See full discussion under Section III
—Staff Findings and Recommendation).
Adequate Water Yes Adequate water is adjudicated for this property for agricultural
uses.
The subject property has received a rating of"moderate" wildfire
Wildfire Hazard Yes hazard and staff recommends the Applicant work with the Eagle
County Wildfire Mitigation Manager to reduce the overall rating
for the property.
Mixed— Variations from improvement standards for an existing driveway
Access Variations which shall serve as the primary access for the property are
required requested and supported by staff. Access to public roads is
provided by Copper Spur Road.
No odor mitigation is required at this time due to the nature of the
Odor Mitigation Yes proposal as an outdoor/open air facility, as well as the distances
between the use and surrounding residential uses.
Security Yes Security proposed on-site and the Applicant will be required to
comply with State regulations.
Issues and Suggested Mitigation
Issues that have been identified by staff and which have been addressed by the Applicant include:
1. Driveway Access and Driveway Access
2. On-site Wastewater Treatment System(OWTS)Design
3. Wildlife
As conditioned, staff believes the proposal can be found to be in compliance with applicable zoning and site
development standards.
Driveway Access—Standards and Legality
During the course of review of this file, staff discovered that the existing driveway serving the subject property
does not meet standards for recommended maximum driveway grade, minimum driveway width, or the maximum
distance between vehicle pullouts. Likewise, the driveway traverses across a small section of Bureau of Land
28
07/07/2015
Management (BLM) property, and that the property owner possesses no evidence of right-of-way permits or
easements from the BLM for the portion of an historic driveway that crosses over federal land.
This situation presents an issue with regard to findings related to access and improvements standards. Simply, while
staff has established that there is physical access (existing driveway) that can meet the standards (as long as a
variation from driveway standards is granted),the question of legal access for the purpose of transporting marijuana
across federal property presented more pressing concerns following the Planning Commission's review of this
request.
The Applicant has contacted the BLM and has submitted an application to the BLM for a formal right-of-way
permit. Correspondence from the BLM to the Applicant is included within the report packet; this correspondence
demonstrates that the BLM will grant continued access for residential and agricultural uses across BLM property
using the existing driveway, as long as the Applicant obtains a permit from the BLM.
Additionally, the BLM has been made aware of the proposed use of the driveway to facilitate transportation of
marijuana to and from the proposed cultivation area. Subsequently, the BLM has indicated that transportation of
marijuana across or over BLM property will not be permitted.
As a result, the Applicant has proposed an alternative access alignment across the subject property, but avoiding
any intrusion onto or over federal lands. The intent of this alternate access is for use by All Terrain Vehicles
(ATVs) and will function only for the purpose of providing access for the transportation of marijuana to and from
the cultivation area. The proposed alignment which parallels the existing driveway for a short distance was
presented to staff on Monday, May 11, 2015. Staff has since worked with the Applicant to conduct a site visit and
to revise the proposed alignment for the specific purpose of avoiding removal of mature vegetation and reducing
overall disturbance on the site. (See plans and photos showing location and design for alternative access,attached).
Staff is in support of the proposed alternate access as this alternative meets the requirement for legal, physical and
safe access for the limited purpose of transporting marijuana seedlings in the spring for planting, and for removing
harvested marijuana from the site in the fall.
See Condition Number(s): 8-11
On-Site Wastewater Treatment System Design
Additionally, the Applicant has been proactive in working with the Eagle County Environmental Health
Department to bring the existing OWTS —likely installed in the early to mid-1970's when the existing home was
constructed-up to current standards.
See Condition Number:2
Wildlife
No areas of"critical" wildlife habitat have been identified on or around the subject property, yet winter range for
two species (deer and wild turkey) and severe winter range (elk) have been identified across the entirety of the
subject property as well as vast areas of the surrounding lands. The proposal does limit disturbance to
approximately 5.9% of the land area of this 87 acre parcel, almost exclusively in areas that have been used in
agricultural production for many years, inclusive of grazing, use of machinery and the construction of typical
accessory agricultural structures.
See Condition Number: 11
II. BACKGROUND&PROPOSAL OVERVIEW:
Marijuana Business Regulatory Background in Eagle County
Effective January 1, 2014, marijuana cultivation, manufacturing or testing uses became lawful in unincorporated
Eagle County as a use `by right' in the Commercial General (CG) and Commercial Limited (CL) Zone Districts.
29
07/07/2015
Such uses may also be permitted upon approval of a special use permit in three rural zone districts in
unincorporated Eagle County: Resource(35 acre minimum lot size); Resource Limited(20 acre minimum lot size),
and; Agricultural Residential(10 acre minimum lot size).
Although cultivation uses are `by right' in the commercial zone districts of unincorporated Eagle County,
commercial space (typically located in close proximity to population centers, dining, retail and service/office uses)
does not necessarily lend itself well to cultivating marijuana due to compatibility issues that arise from odors and
odor mitigation (air handling systems and filtration). Of particular interest when considering whether to permit
cultivation operations in the County's three most-rural zone districts was the goal of encouraging appropriately
scaled cultivation operations (and any associated odors or other potential impacts) in settings where ample
buffering distances are more likely to be provided as a result of large lot zoning.
Therefore, the permitting of marijuana cultivation uses in rural, agricultural zone districts can generally be viewed
as appropriate if properly vetted and conditioned through local licensing and Special Use Permit processes. Such
view is based in part upon the agrarian nature of cultivation uses and associated structures, as well as the separation
distances between cultivation facilities and adjacent properties provided in large lot subdivisions. Yet, cultivation of
marijuana, if not properly vetted, is also a use that may pose compatibility issues. As such, the purpose of a Special
Use Review is as follows:
"Special Uses are those uses that are not necessarily compatible with the other uses allowed in a
zone district, but which may be determined compatible with the other uses allowed in the zone
district based upon individual review of their location, design, configuration, density and intensity
of use, and the imposition of appropriate conditions to ensure the compatibility of the use at a
particular location with surrounding land uses. All Special Uses shall meet the standards set forth
in this Section."-ECLURs p. 5-51
While there are no specific size limits on such operations, standards have been developed specifically for marijuana
cultivation, focusing on maintaining a"rural scale"and character for any development through design, maintaining
minimum separation distances between cultivation facilities and neighboring properties, as well as ensuring
adequate water rights, odor mitigation (if deemed necessary), screening and landscaping (if visible from public
rights-of-way).
Therefore, in addition to addressing the standards for Special Use Review (Section 5-250 — Special Uses, Eagle
County Land Use Regulations) listed below, the Applicant is responsible for demonstrating substantial
conformance to each of the standards outlined for marijuana cultivation found in Section 3-310, F.f—Marijuana
Cultivation, Manufacturing or Testing, ECLURs.
Proposal Overview
According to the application, the proposed facility will consist of up to five (5) acres of outdoor, open air
cultivation within an area of the property that is currently irrigated, cultivated hay meadow. Additionally, the
Applicant requests approval to use an existing single-family home for ancillary uses including temporary(seasonal)
housing for property management and security personnel.
Likewise,the Applicant proposes to use an existing, "accessory"agricultural out-building located near the home for
storage, and all five acres proposed for cultivation, as well as the area surrounding the existing single-family
residence will be enclosed within an eight(8') foot tall,wildlife compliant fence.
The Special Use proposal contemplates one (1) crop per year, with planting occurring in mid to late-spring, and
harvest occurring in late August or early September.
The proposal includes evidence of adequate water supply, in the form of senior rights from Yarmony Reservoir
located approximately 1.5 miles to the northeast of the subject property. The property is accessed via County Road
31 (Copper Spur Road)and a private driveway.
Operations Details
30
07/07/2015
Specific hours of operation have not been proposed, however the application(p. 11) states, "The farm will operate
only during day light hours. There will be no night time operations."The proposal anticipates anywhere from two
(2) to four(4) employees at the site during normal planting and growing seasons (mid-spring through early to mid-
fall). The application also gives a range of up to six (6) employees at the site at any one time during harvesting
periods in early autumn. No cultivation activities are proposed for the winter months.
Security Measures and Lighting
In conjunction with State required security fencing around the perimeter of the residence and the cultivation area,
the application states that motion sensors and security lighting (to be directed within the fenced compound and not
directed to direct glare outward) will "encompass the cultivation area". Such sensors and lights are intended to
only be triggered in the event that something clears the 8 foot fence.
The Applicant possesses senior water rights from the Yarmony Reservoir located approximately 1.5 miles to the
northeast of the subject property. According to the application,
"Water to this farm will be supplied by the .2 CFS of water that comes with this property. These
rights were established in the 1890's. Owning 5% of the Yarmony Reservoir there is more than
adequate water to supply four to five acres using the system described below.
"The irrigation water will be controlled via 'gated pipe' (a system of irrigation pipe with a slide
gate every 32 inches that is manually opened or closed for all water to exit the pipe and flow down
the furrow that is adjacent to the plant). Forty years of irrigation experience means that there will
be little wasted water. Water that flows from the upper field will be captured in a pond at the lower
part of the field and pumped, with an electric pump, in order for the lower section of the farm,
where drip tubing will sit next to each plan to allow for specific amounts of water to be distributed,
to be watered. These two systems of irrigation,furrow and drip, are use on my farms and each with
advantages, but always with respect to the incoming flow of water."
As described above, the Applicant proposes to construct (under separate grading permits) two ponds for use in
running the irrigation system. Those ponds are shown on site plan/mapping exhibits on pages 9 and 15 of the
application.
Further, the application provides a basic overview of security - to be provided according to State of Colorado
Department of Revenue (Marijuana Enforcement Division) requirements - inclusive of fencing around the existing
residence, as well as the outdoor growing areas, surveillance cameras at each entry point, security lighting, and
monitoring of alarms and motion detectors by on-site security personnel during nighttime hours.
Review Timeline
This request was formally submitted on or about December 16, 2014. However, the Applicant has been meeting
with representatives from Eagle County and other local entities prior to making any formal applications.
The proposal was referred to twenty-three (23) different public, quasi-public and private organizations, for review
over a 21 day period, with only four entities (the Colorado Historical Society, the Colorado Division of Water
Resources, or "DNWR", Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department ("CPW"), and the Eagle County Engineering
Department)providing formal, substantive responses to the referral.
The Eagle County Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its regular meeting of April 1, 2015. The
Commission voted (5-1) to recommend approval, with conditions, to the Eagle County Board of County
Commissioners.
Impacts and Tradeoffs
Staff believes the potential for negative impacts from this proposal is minimal, given the size, scope and location of
the facility. However, areas of potential impact include cultivation within mapped wildlife habitats and ranges, as
well as the potential for increased traffic on local roadways. Such impacts could be weighed against:
31
07/07/2015
1) Similar or greater potential for impacts generated from`by right' uses such as single-family residential,
or similar agricultural uses within the Resource Zone District;
2) The potential benefits to the local community and economy resulting from the special use, and;
3) The proposal's overall conformance to applicable goals and policies of Eagle County Government.
Traffic
For example, although the prospect of employees traveling to and from the site on a daily basis may present an
increase to the traffic currently traveling to and from the site(a vacant/un-used residence and horse pasture that is in
use), the total estimated traffic generated from 2 to 4 employees per day(typical) did not warrant additional traffic
studies or off-site mitigation. For comparison, a single family home is normally expected to generate approximately
ten(10)vehicle trips per day.
Wildlife
Staff did receive a referral response from the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department. The CPW points to mapped
wildlife habitat for several species ("overall range" for Bear and Mountain Lion; "winter range" for Wild Turkey;
"severe winter"range for Mule Deer and Elk; and"Historic Habitat" for Sage Grouse) on, and around, the subject
property. The proposed areas of outdoor cultivation are planned within existing irrigated pasture where hay(alfalfa)
is the historic crop, and horses are pastured. The CPW recommends specific restrictions on fencing design and
installation, as well as limits on the times of any construction activities associated with the cultivation facility and a
requirement for bear-proof trash enclosures.
Eagle County — via the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan - places a high value minimizing impacts from
development on land resources through design while promoting the economic, cultural and social goals through the
continuance of agriculture and open space uses in rural areas of the county.
Related goals for protecting and enhancing wildlife habitat act to direct development away from sensitive or
hazardous land forms, water bodies and critical wildlife habitats. In this regard, staff suggests that the project is in
substantial conformance with the master plan policies and strategies considered in this review due to its limited size
and scope(approximately 5 acres out of a 87.7 acre tract, or; 5.9% of the total land area), and, importantly, because
the areas proposed for cultivation have historically been in agricultural production—for hay production and horse
pasturing. In this sense, and with the exception of proposed security fencing, staff believes the agricultural nature,
size and location of proposed outdoor growing operations within a previously disturbed and cultivated area of the
property present minimal disturbance or change from current conditions, and that the proposal will not create any
loss of existing(undisturbed)wildlife habitat.
Overall, staff believes the proposal presents minimal (new) impacts to the site and surrounding areas and that the
proposed special use may relate positively to goals and policies directed at maintaining rural, agricultural
economies and lifestyles by allowing the Applicant to maintain the agricultural status of the property, while
supporting a burgeoning segment of the local and regional economy.
As such, potential wildlife impacts, or the potential for increased traffic and/or human activity on the subject
property may represent a tradeoff to be viewed in context to 1) the extent of potential impact(s), 2) the potential
benefits provided by the proposal, and 3) impacts that could occur given existing and future `by right' rural
residential and agricultural uses in the area.
Based on the above analysis, as well as referral agency comments and, importantly, considering the Applicant's
ability to incorporate referral agency comments into the design of the project or the facility's operations planning
(such as providing wildlife proof trash containment strategies and limiting development within limited portions of
the parcel), staff finds that the proposal meets a preponderance of master plan goals and policies and complies with
applicable standards for approval as summarized below.
III. STAFF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION:
32
07/07/2015
Staff is recommending approval of this application,with conditions.
Staff believes the proposal, as conditioned and with variations to improvement standards for maximum driveway
grades, meets all applicable standards for a Special Use Permit, as well as those standards specific to Marijuana
Cultivation Facilities.
Special Use Standards
Specifically, the following excerpts from Section 5-250 B — Standards, ECLURs provide direction regarding the
intent and necessary findings for the approval of any Special Use Review, as well as the specific standards for
marijuana cultivation and variations to improvement standards that are to be addressed. Likewise, the following
section provides brief responses (provided in greater detail in the"Appendix" section of this report) from staff as to
how staff believes the application meets or does not meet a particular standard, as well as suggested mitigation
measures(conditions):
1. Consistent with Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Special Use shall be in substantial
conformance with the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan, Area Community Plans and any applicable
ancillary County adopted documents pertaining to natural resource protection, affordable housing, or
infrastructure management.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal is in substantial conformance with all applicable plans and adopted policy
documents. Specifically, the proposal was reviewed against relevant General Development, Econonomic
Development, and Natural Resource Protection policies, goals, and recommended implementation
strategies of the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan. For example, the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan
clearly and specifically supports the preservation and enhancement of agricultural uses and industry in rural
areas of the County.
Likewise, certain Comprehensive Plan goals and strategies support diversification of local "economic
infrastructure", while others provide direction for protecting the environment and reducing impacts from
new development proposals. The proposed use should be considered agricultural in nature and, therefore,
could also be viewed favorably in context to the stated strategy of preserving western heritage. As designed
and with appropriate conditions of approval, this special use permit should not adversely affect the quality
of life for this area of Eagle County,but may, instead,provide a means to maintain a rural, agricultural way
of life in this area of the County.
2. Compatibility. The Special Use is generally compatible with the existing and currently
permissible future uses of adjacent land and other substantially impacted land, services, or infrastructure
improvements.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal, as represented by the Applicant and as mitigated using recommended
conditions of approval, will be compatible with existing and future low density, rural residential
and agricultural uses surrounding the subject property. Further, staff believes the proposed design
and scale of the proposed use will have minimal impacts on land, services or infrastructure in the
area and, that new improvements (a fence and two ponds) are designed to be compatible with
wildlife and the agricultural character of the area.
However, staff has received phone inquiries from two neighboring property owners who have
expressed concern regarding the proposal and potential impacts on their properties. Likewise, there
is no practical manner in which to contain potential odors from an outdoor, open-air cultivation
operation and no way of knowing exactly how odors may disapate (due to prevailing winds,
temperatures and so forth) during the weeks (late August— early September) when the plants will
be most pungent prior to harvest.
33
07/07/2015
3. Zone District Standards. The proposed Special Use shall comply with the standards of the
zone district in which it is located and any standards applicable to the particular use, as identified in
Section 3-310, Review Standards Applicable to Particular Residential, Agricultural and Resource Uses
and Section 3-330, Review Standards Applicable to Particular Commercial and Industrial Uses.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal is in substantial conformance with the standards for the Resource Zone
District, as well as the specific standards for marijuana cultivation set forth in Section 3-310, F.f—
Marijuana Cultivation,Manufacturing, or Testing,ECLURs.
4. Design Minimizes Adverse Impact. The design of the proposed Special Use shall
reasonably avoid adverse impacts, including visual impacts of the proposed use on adjacent
lands including trash, traffic, service delivery,parking and loading, odors, noise, glare, and
vibration, or otherwise create a nuisance.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal, as conditioned, meets this standard. Specifically, staff suggests that the
project has been designed to minimize any adverse impacts to the subject property, the surrounding
area, residents and wildlife populations through the re-use of an existing residential structure and
out-buildings, and the installation of a wildlife compliant fence around the proposed cultivation
area. Additionally, exterior lighting is to be downcast and security lighting around the fenced areas
will be triggered by motion sensors and directed inward/downward.
Specifically, staff is not aware of or anticipating any permanent or persistent noise, glare or
vibrations that will be generated from the installation of the cultivation facility. According to the
application and representations made by the Applicant, the facility will have minimal traffic
coming to and from the site; there is no night-time lighting for growing operations proposed, and;
staff is not aware of any operations, other than normal agricultural activities such as unloading
occasional deliveries and/or using machinery to move/manage soils and compost piles, that will
produce noise.
Additionally, the project's distance from adjoining properties and any future residential
improvements on those properties is advantageous and should work to eliminate or mitigate any
potential impacts.
5. Design Minimizes Environmental Impact. The proposed Special Use shall minimize
environmental impacts and shall not cause significant deterioration of water and air resources,
wildlife habitat, scenic resources, and other natural resources.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal substantially meets this standard. Specifically, while there may direct
impacts to mapped wildlife habitats as a result of the enclosure of approximately 5 acres with
fencing designed to keep wildlife out, the fencing is compliant with CPW recommendations for
protection of animals. Similarly, because the property has historically been used for the cultivation
of hay (alfalfa, grasses), the entirety of the area proposed for cultivation is already disturbed.
Therefore, no new disturbance or significant deterioration of the site will occur, other than the
annual plowing of furrows planting rows) within the existing hay meadow. There should also not
be any undue or ongoing impact to air, water or scenic resources as a result of proposed cultivation
uses, as the Applicant proposes one (1) crop per year, wherein the most impactful time (from any
associated odors)will generally occur in late summer and early fall(for a 2-3 week time period.
However, the Applicant proposes to cut-in a new access path for ATV access. This is proposed
specifically to avoid transporting marijuana over federal (BLM) property using an existing
driveway that traverses across a short distance of BLM property. Although the Applicant has
34
07/07/2015
provided plans showing how the path will be created using minimal cuts and fills, and how mature
juniper and pinion trees will be avoided, any re-grading of this path may require additional
disturbance to the subject property, inclusive of removal of vegetation, cutting, filling and soil
erosion. Any plans for improvments to the existing driveway or the new access path will be
reviewed for compliance with standards related to erosion control, site disturbance, slope, and re-
vegetation.
6. Impact on Public Facilities. The proposed Special Use shall be adequately served by public
facilities and services, including roads,pedestrian paths,potable water and wastewater facilities,
parks, schools,police and fire protection, and emergency medical services.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal meets this standard. Specifically, the subject property is located in a
rather remote, rural portion of unincorporated Eagle County. As such, and given the nature of the
proposed use(private agricultural enterprise), staff suggests that very few"public facilities"will be
impacted or necessary, with the exception of roads, fire protection, and emergency medical
services.
This application was referred to the Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department, with no initial
response. However, based on Planning Commission review and suggested conditions, staff has
performed additional outreach with the Fire Department, as well as with the Eagle County Sheriff's
Office and the Western Eagle County Amubulance District to ensure that the existing driveway
meets the access requirements of each entity. Staff is of the understanding that the existing
driveway will provide adequate, safe access for each entity with minimal additional improvements
or regrading.
While the site is accessed by way of publically maintained roads, the operational plan for the
cultivation facility should result in minimal traffic being added to local roads,public or private.
7. Site Development Standards. The proposed Special Use shall comply with the appropriate
standards in Article 4, Site Development Standards.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal meets most, but not all applicable site development standards.
Specifically, as detailed above, the existing driveway does not meet County standards for
maximum recommended driveway gradient, driveway width, and spacing of vehicle turnouts.
However, staff also believes that significantly amending the driveway grade or width, or creating
additional vehicle turnouts to meet the standards will likely cause significant disturbance to the
parcel disproportionate to the possible improvements to the existing conditions.
In this respect, staff has met with the Applicant's engineer to discuss minor improvements that
could be accomplished without significant disturbance, but which will improve the conditions of
the driveway in an effort to ensure proper, safe access. Finally, staff has contacted emergency
service providers(Western Eagle County Ambulance District; Eagle County Sheriff's Office; Rock
Creek Volunteer Fire Department)to discuss the conditions of the driveway. The responses gained
from conversations with those agencies lead staff to believe that the existing driveway(as-is) does
not pose significant challenges for access to/from the existing single-family residence or the
proposed cultivation facility. The Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department (Brita Horn) has,
however, asked that certain minor modifications be made such as removing vegetation to allow
clearance of fire trucks,as well as the installation of a reflective address marker.
Nevertheless, the Applicant requests a `Variation to Standards' for those areas of the driveway that
cannot meet standards, despite any further mitigation work performed by the Applicant to improve
gradients,widths or vehicle turnout conditions.
35
07/07/2015
8. Other Provisions. The proposed Special Use shall comply with all standards imposed on it by
all other applicable provisions of these Land Use Regulations for use, layout, and general
development characteristics.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal meets this standard. Specifically, the proposal has been designed and/or
conditioned to meet the specific standards for marijuana cultivation facilities as set forth in Section
3-310,F.f.—Marijuana Cultivation,Manufacturing, or Testing, ECLURs.
One issue that the Applicant has been made aware of is that the existing On-site Wastewater
Treatment System (OWTS) may need to be replaced prior to continued use of the existing single-
family residential structure. The Applicant is addressing this issue, and is working with the Eagle
County Environmental Health Department.
Cultivation Standards
In addition to the standards listed above, cultivation facilities within the Resource Zone District must meet the
following standards specific to the cultivation of marijuana. Below is a summary of the standards, as well as staff's
response to how such standards have been,or can be,met.
Section 3-310 F.f—Marijuana Cultivation,Manufacturinz or Testing:
1. Separation Requirements. Marijuana cultivation, manufacturing or testing in the Resource, Resource
Limited and Agricultural Residential zone districts shall meet the following separation requirements at time
of their establishment:
a. Marijuana cultivation, manufacturing or testing are prohibited from locating within 200 feet of
(1) Any residence located on adjacent properties, but excluding residential units that are
located within the subject property;
(2) Any drug or alcohol rehabilitation facility;
(3) Any public community center or publicly owned or maintained building or facility, open
for use to the general public;
(4) Any public school or private school;
(5) Any public park,playground, boat ramp, or other similar recreational amenity open to the
public; or
(6) Any licensed child care facility.
Staff Response:
Staff believes this standard is met. In this case, the next nearest residence appears to be approximately 900
feet away, with three other residential structures located approximately 1,500 to 2,000 feet away from the
proposed cultivation area.
2. Minimum Lot Size. Each lot proposed for use in the cultivation, manufacturing or testing of
marijuana products shall contain the minimum acreage required for the zone district in which the use is
proposed.
Staff Response:
The parcel meets the minimum lot size (35 acres) for the Resource Zone District; in this case, 87 acres is
provided.
3. Parking and Storage. Any application for marijuana cultivation, manufacturing or testing shall
include demonstration of adequate parking for employees working from the site. Employee parking shall
be effectively screened. One parking space shall be required for each employee unless the applicant
successfully demonstrates that shared parking and/or other parking mitigation measures are appropriate
for the site and proposed use(s). Any heavy equipment, work vehicles, or machinery stored on the property
36
07/07/2015
may require demonstrated storage space inside a garage, shed, or other enclosure. Additional parking may
be required and shall be addressed within the special use permit on a case-by-case basis at the discretion
of the Planning Director.
Staff Response:
Staff believes this standard is met. Parking and storage have been designed to provide a minimum of six
parking spaces (one for each employee anticipated during harvesting in fall). There is an existing shed
structure on the property that could be used for storage of other equipment.
4. Signs and Illumination. No signs advertising the special use shall be permitted on the property.
Residential property identification signs shall comply with the provisions of Division 4-3, Sign Regulations,
Eagle County Land Use Regulations.
Staff Response:
Staff believes this standard is met. There are no marijuana business signs proposed for the site and only
minimal lighting is proposed for the exterior of buildings to comply with building code requirements.
Security lighting is proposed at different points around the fenced-in enclosure surrounding the cultivation
and the house, however lighting will be directed inward and downward within the enclosed areas, and
lighting will be triggered by motion sensors on the inside of the fenced compound.
5. Sales.Retail sales of supplies, services, or products shall not be permitted on the premises.
Staff Response:
Staff believes this standard is met.No retail sales are proposed(or permitted) on or from the site.
6. Visual Screening. A fence and/or landscaping plan may be required depending on the proximity of the
proposed cultivation, manufacturing or testing uses to neighboring properties or public rights of way. Such
plan shall demonstrate adequate visual screening of outdoor storage areas, cultivation, manufacturing or
testing operations,from adjacent properties, applicable view corridors, and/or public roads and rights of
way.
Staff Response:
Staff believes this standard is met. Conceptual plans have been submitted which demonstrate the general
location of proposed fencing around the entirety of the cultivation area (an existing irrigated field),
inclusive of the area surrounding an existing single-family residence which will serve primarily as
employee housing. No new structures are proposed and the site will generally not be visible from a
majority of adjacent properties or from public roadways. Therefore, staff suggests that no additional
screening is proposed or warranted at this time.
7. Scale. The use and layout of the subject property shall be at a scale that retains a rural character of the
immediate vicinity, and which maximizes open space on the subject property. This shall be clearly
reflected in the amount and size of structures proposed on the subject property, as well as the number of
employees accessing the property.
Staff Response:
Staff believes that the scale and layout of the cultivation area is appropriate in context to the character of
the surrounding area, and that the property is generally not visible from neighboring residential structures
or public rights-of-way. Further, no new structures are proposed. Therefore, staff suggests that no
additional screening is proposed or warranted at this time.
8. Adequate Water. Demonstration that the subject property and use(s) proposed will be provided legal,
physical, adequate and dependable water shall be provided at the time of application.
Staff Response:
37
07/07/2015
Evidence of adequate water rights has been submitted and, via correspondence with the State Division of
Water Resources, staff believes that the Applicant has demonstrated that there will be legal, physical,
adequate and dependable water supply for the cultivation facility.
9. Wildfire Hazard. In applicable wildfire hazard areas, building materials and plans, storage of materials,
and/or landscaping plans shall be in compliance with Section 4-430 Development in Areas Subject to
Wildfire Hazard Areas.
Staff Response:
The Applicant has met with the Eagle County Wildfire Mitigation Manager and has received a wildfire
rating of "moderate." Staff suggests that the Applicant should continue to work with the Wildfire
Mitigation Manager to reduce the overall rating on the property via vegetation management, and,
importantly, that no new improvements requiring a building permit are anticipated and the proposed use
will generally not increase the hazard level.
10. Access. Legal access shall be established for the cultivation, manufacturing or testing operation pursuant
to Section 4-620.9. Where required, an access permit may be necessary for the proposed special use(s).
Road Impact Fees may apply pursuant to Section 4-710. A plan for employees accessing the property and
delivery of any materials onto the property must be included, including maximum number of deliveries
allowed per month, time of deliveries, and vehicles making such deliveries to the subject property.
Staff Response:
Legal access is provided via Copper Spur Road and a private driveway. However, the existing driveway
does not comply with County standards. As conditioned, staff believes that the project can be brought
further into compliance with driveway standards, thus aiding the County in protecting the health, safety,
and welfare of its citizens. Staff is in support of a `Variation(s)to Standards' for maximum driveway grade,
minimum width and spacing of vehicle turnouts based, in part, on the historic use of the property and
driveway for similar uses, and based on specific responses received from emergency responders following
the Planning Commission hearing on the matter.
11. Odor Mitigation Plan. The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with Eagle County Marijuana Business
license, as may be amended from time to time. Specifically, the applicant may be required to provide an
Odor Mitigation Plan and/or report detailing the effective mitigation of any odors of the proposed use(s) or
the mitigation and rectification of any past odors reported from cultivation, manufacturing or testing
activities on the subject property. Such report shall include proof that the design for the purification of air
and odor shall have been either prepared or approved by a professional licensed mechanical engineer to
the standards contained in the Local Regulations requiring proper ventilation systems so that odors are
filtered and do not materially interfere with adjoining properties.
Staff Response:
No odor mitigation plan has been required or provided at this time due primarily to 1) the fact that this use
is proposed outdoors; 2) the short (3-4 week) duration of time when the one seasonal crop will be most
odorous (at "flowering stage"), and, 3) the location of this cultivation facility in proximity to other
residential or agricultural uses. Based on these factors, staff does not believe the use will produce undue
adverse impacts on adjacent or nearby properties.
However, in the future if odors from the use present nuisance issues that cannot be mitigated, staff suggests
that the special use could be reviewed for compliance with this standard.
12. Security. The special use permit shall comply with any and all applicable State rules and regulations for
on-site security.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal meets this standard. Specifically, the Applicant has provided information
regarding proposed fencing locations and heights, as well as basic details regarding security (cameras,
38
07/07/2015
lighting and on-site security personnel) for the site. However, all security requirements are a matter of State
review and permitting.
Summary Analysis
Based upon a thorough analysis of the proposal—by County staff and key external agencies- staff is recommending
approval of the request.
Specifically, staff believes that the proposal addresses a preponderance of applicable master plan goals,policies and
strategies. Additionally, staff believes the proposal meets, or can meet (if properly conditioned), all required
standards and findings necessary for the issuance of a Special Use Permit for Marijuana Cultivation in the Resource
Zone District.
The Applicant is just the fourth in Eagle County to apply for a marijuana cultivation facility Special Use Permit in a
rural zone district since enactment of the revised regulations allowing for such use. To this end, the Applicant's
representative participated in the application and review of the first three applications, and has been in meetings
with Eagle County staff for the previous twelve months for the purpose of first understanding the regulatory
environment, and to ensure that plans for cultivation facilities (and ultimately the Special Use Permit application)
are informed by staff input as well as a thorough understanding of technical submittal and performance
requirements.
Specifically, the Applicant's representative has met with, or contacted personnel from the Eagle County Building
Department, Engineering Department, and Wildfire Mitigation to identify and resolve regulatory and code-related
issues — in most cases prior to submitting the application. However, issues surrounding existing driveway
conditions were discovered late in the review process and will require additional follow-up and coordination
between staff and the Applicant.
Likewise, the Applicant's representative is working with the Eagle County Environmental Health Department to
complete the process to replace an existing On-site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) prior to continued
occupancy and use of the existing single-family residential structure.
The proposal has been reviewed against the strategic policies and goals identified within the Eagle County
Comprehensive Plan, and staff has found ample evidence to support approval of the proposal.
Overall,while there may be impacts from the proposed use—on local wildlife populations,for instance—the
proposal appears to meet all applicable standards, as conditioned. Likewise,the Applicant has demonstrated the
ability and willingness to act on recommendations provided by County staff and other agencies to minimize the
impact of the project and to ensure compatibility with neighboring properties while respecting the rural character of
the area.
IV. PLANNING COMMISSION DELIBERATION
At their regularly scheduled meeting of April 1, 2015, the Eagle County Planning Commission considered the
proposal and voted(5-1) in favor of recommending approval, with conditions.
During their hearing,the commission members asked clarifying questions of the Applicant and the Applicant's
representative regarding the following:
1. Areas of Disturbance
2. Months and Hours of Operation
3. Delivery Methods and Frequency
4. Driveway Grades and Access
5. Fencing Details
Cultivation and Areas of Disturbance
39
07/07/2015
On the issue of cultivation area, Commissioner Snowden asked how much of the proposed five acre cultivation site
would be in use at any one time for cultivation of marijuana. The Applicant clarified that the State will initially
license up to 3,600 plants and that such amount would occupy approximately '/2 acre of the five acres being
proposed for cultivation. The Applicant also clarified that the five acres identified on the site plans has been
previously disturbed for historic cultivation and grazing and that no further clearance of native vegetation would
occur for this operation. The Applicant did, however, verify that he planned to plow under the existing hay crop for
the purpose of crop rotation, and that marijuana crops would be rotated, year to year, from one area to another
within the five acre area to be fenced in for marijuana cultivation.
Months and Hours of Operation
Commissioner Snowden questioned the seasonal nature of the proposal, asking whether security systems, inclusive
of security lighting would be operational year-round. The Applicant clarified that the operation will run from spring
until fall; that personnel, whether security or cultivation employees,would generally be on site on a daily basis only
during spring, summer and early fall. The Applicant also clarified that manned security operations will be in place
twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week during those times. Another commission member asked whether
security personnel would be armed and using vehicles to inspect the property during night-time hours; the
Applicant confirmed that security personnel would likely be armed, and that they may respond to alarms that are
triggered by driving vehicles (four wheel drive vehicles or ATVs)around the fenced area if needed.
Delivery Methods and Frequency
A commission member asked how marijuana plants would be transported to the site in the spring, and how
harvested, processed marijuana would be transported off premises in the fall. The Applicant's representative
clarified that "box trucks" were proposed to deliver plants to the site in early spring and at harvest time in late
August and early September.The Applicant's representative estimated that box trucks would visit the site two times
per week, for 3-4 weeks. (Since the Planning Commission hearing, the plans have now changed to focus delivery of
marijuana to/from the site using ATVs and the alternative access drive/pathway).
Driveway Conditions and Access
Commissioner Snowden identified a section of driveway accessing the subject property that, according to mapping,
traverses a neighboring property; he asked if any easements existed and whether improvements to the existing
driveway in the future would require approval of adjacent property owners. The Applicant's representative, as well
as one of the owners of the property,Tom Backus, stated that an easement does exist and that they do not anticipate
making specific improvements to that section of the driveway that traverses the neighboring property owners'
parcel.
Commissioner Snowden followed by asking staff about identified issues related to non-conforming driveway
grades and whether the (summer) seasonal nature of the operation lessened staff's concern regarding driveway
grades. Taylor Ryan, representing staff, stated that the seasonality of the proposal was not a determining factor, but
that seasonality of use may make emergency responders (ambulance, sheriff and firefighting personnel) more
comfortable.
Fencing Details
Commissioner Snowden inquired about proposed fencing details around the site. The Applicant clarified that
fencing would be a minimum of eight (8) feet tall, and would likely be constructed using steel, mesh and barbed
wire, similar to fencing used in the fruit growing industry in western Colorado, or wood post with mesh, similar to
wildlife compliant fencing installed along state highways.
V. SUGGESTED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
This request would be only the fourth such proposal approved in unincorporated Eagle County. For this reason,
staff recommends a cautious approach to vesting. Section 5-250, E— Conditions and Restrictions on a Special Use
Permit(ECLURs,p. 5-55)is pertinent to any consideration of conditional approval,wherein:
40
07/07/2015
"The Planning Commission may recommend and the Board of County Commissioners may, in
approving any Special Use Permit, impose such restrictions and conditions on such approval, the
proposed use, and the premises to be developed or used pursuant to such approval, as it
determines are required by the general purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan, the FL UM of the Comprehensive Plan, and these Land Use Regulations, to
prevent or minimize adverse effects from the proposed development on surrounding land uses and
on the general health, safety, and welfare of the County. The County shall be authorized to set
limits on the length of any Final or Consolidated Special Use Permit that it issues and to obtain
assurances that the ongoing operation of the use will comply with all of the applicants
representations and all conditions of approval, including, but not limited to, requiring an annual
compliance review. All conditions imposed in any Special Use Permit, with the exception qf
conditions made applicable to such approval by the express terms of these Land Use Regulations,
shall be expressly set forth in the Special Use Permit."
As such, staff recommends the following conditions crafted specifically to address development standards, as well
as performance standards such as lighting, drainage and landscaping:
1. Except as otherwise modified by this development permit, all material representations made by
the Applicant in this application and in public meeting shall be adhered to and considered
conditions of approval.
2. The Applicant shall successfully apply for, and obtain, and install a new OWTS permit from
the Eagle County Environmental Health Department prior to continued occupancy and use of the
existing single-family structure on the subject property.
3. Any lighting associated with the site shall be downcast in accordance with dark/night-sky
compliant lighting standards; specifically, any on-site lighting shall be designed and installed so as
not to direct glare onto adjacent properties.
4. The Special Use Permit shall be subject to annual review and the County Engineering
Department may request specific review of traffic impacts and trip generation rates annually during
cultivation license renewal review.
5. The Applicant shall successfully apply for and obtain any and all state and local licensing
required for the cultivation of marijuana (Cultivation License) for the cultivation facility prior to
commencing any cultivation activities.
6. Pursuant to local and state licensing requirements specific to renewal of licensing and annual
verification of`good standing',the Applicant shall provide a brief report or other evidence to Eagle
County Planning Department on an annual basis, demonstrating that the license for cultivation is
valid at both the state and local levels, and, therefore, that the special use permit remains in
compliance with local regulations as well as applicable conditions of approval for the special use.
7. The Applicant shall provide a detailed grading plan, showing existing and proposed grades, as
well as proposed limits of disturbance, drainage and erosion control measures as part of any
grading permit for irrigation pond construction or maintenance.
8. The Applicant shall provide evidence that final approval has been granted by the United States
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for driveway access across BLM property. Evidence to be
provided will include, but not be limited to, easement(s) or right-of-way agreement(s), executed by
and between the Owner of the subject property and the BLM.
9. The Applicant shall work with the Eagle County Engineering Department with regard to the
implementation of improvements to the existing primary access driveway. Improvements may
include, but not be limited to, re-grading to reduce existing grades or widening the driveway
41
07/07/2015
surface, and/or enhancing existing vehicle turnouts. A grading permit may be required for any
improvements to the existing driveway, and will be required for the new access pathway created
for use by ATVs,prior to construction of such improvements.
10. The Applicant shall formally request a Variation to Improvement Standards for any driveway
and/or access conditions that cannot adequately be mitigated by approved driveway maintenance
and re-grading plans.
11. The Applicant shall maintain the existing driveway as the primary access to the property and
for access by emergency responders should they be called to the property. Initial maintenance to be
completed prior to operation of the facility shall include the cutting-back of vegetation on the lower
part of the driveway to allow clearance for emergency response vehicles and the installation of
reflective address markers at the driveway entrance.
12. The Applicant shall incorporate recommendations suggested by the Colorado Parks& Wildlife
Department with regard to mitigating potential impacts to wildlife on the subject property into the
design and implementation of the Special Use.
VI. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER OPTIONS:
1. Approve [File No. ZS-52811 with conditions and/or performance standards if it is determined that certain
conditions and/or performance standards are necessary to ensure public, health, safety, and welfare and/or

VIII. REFERRAL RESPONSES:
Referral copies of this application were sent to twenty-three (23) agencies for review on January 20, 2015. The
following section summarizes the comments of all agencies that submitted an official referral response to Eagle
County within the twenty-one (21) day referral period. Please see attached referral agency response letters/emails
for full text of each response:
Eagle County Engineering Department(Ty Ryan):
- "Per Section 4-710, Road Impact Fees, of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations, any development that
increases the traffic on a property is shall pay a Road Impact Fee for the increase in vehicular traffic
generated by the development. As documented in the application, there does not appear to be any
additional traffic than was previously generated from this property. Because this use has not been
classified in the existing Trip Generation tables, I request a review of the site traffic during the annual
permit review to verify that additional traffic is not being generated.
- A grading permit is required for the construction of the proposed water storage ponds on the site. "
Eagle County Environmental Health Department(Adam Palmer):
- "Wastewater treatment is proposed to utilize private on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS)situated
on the property for up to 6 employees as proposed. A record of a permitted system does not exist for the
property. A recommended condition of approval is to provide an OWTS able to accommodate the number
of employees proposed for the operation.
- Provide commentary from Office of the State Engineer Division of Water Resources regarding the Legal
Description of Water Rights proposed to be utilized for the project.
- Please provide verification from the Division of Water Resources that the well on the property can be
utilized for the proposed commercial purpose on the property.
- To support the sustainability of the project, it is recommended that onsite renewable energy be installed to
offset the additional electricity use to be utilized for early / late stages of growth as described in the
application. If such integration is not desirable or feasible, it is recommended that an equivalent dollar
amount be paid into the Eco-Build fund to support renewable energy and energy efficiency projects
elsewhere in Eagle County."
Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department(Rachel Leiner):
- The property has high wildlife values. Mule deer are seen year-round in the area, and the property lies
within areas documented as summer range for mule deer, and within severe winter range for mule deer.
- The parcel lies within documented winter range for elk.
43
07/07/2015
- The parcel lies within documented winter range for wild turkey, and within overall range for bear and
mountain lion; all three species are frequently seen in the area.
- CPW recommends limiting "other perimeter"fencing (other than that needed to enclose the proposed
marijuana cultivation areas);fencing should be a minimum of 8'in height.
- Construction of fencing should limit site disturbance and any disturbed soil should be re-seeded with weed-
free native seed mix.
- Gates should be kept closed at all times to avoid trapping of animals within cultivation areas.
- Bear proof waste disposal and/or storage (containers or structures) should be used to avoid conflicts with
bear and skunk; composting areas should be bear proof as well.
- No construction (offences or other improvements)should occur during winter months (after November 3061
or before April ft of each year.
Colorado DNR, Water Resources Division (Ivan Franco):
"I have reviewed the application to operate a Marijuana Cultivation Facility at 1860 Copper Spur Road in
the Bond Area. The applicant proposes an open air grow operation and will not be utilizing any
greenhouses. The applicant does not propose to subdivide or modify the total size of the existing lot in any
way. The applicant does not name the specific water rights that will serve as the primary irrigation source
for the proposed lands, but does list a 0.2 cfs flow rate. The proposed facility appears to be located on
historically irrigated land and the applicant does not propose to irrigate any new lands.
- The applicant also indicates that they intend to construct onsite ponds to serve as irrigation control
structures.In the event ground water is exposed, such pond(s) will be backfilled so as not to expose ground
water until such time as: 1) a well permit has been obtained for the ground water pond pursuant to CRS 37-
90-137 and any associated water storage rights have been vacated; or 2) the pond(s)are lined in accordance
with the State Engineer's guidelines dated August 1999.
- So long as the water used at the facility is obtained from a legal source whose use does not expand existing
water rights, this office has no objection to the application. If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me at this office."
Colorado State Historical Society(Edward Nichols):
- "There are no structures on the property that are more than 50 years old.
- Cultivation will take place on land previously used for agricultural activities. Therefore, we believe that no
historic properties will be affected by this project."
Rock Creek Volunteer Fire Department(Brita Horn, Chief):
- "Per your request, I evaluated the driveway at 1860 Copper Spur Road for fire department access. Our
three trucks and one staff SUV is able to drive to the residence. We have two requests.
o Please have the owner cut back the vegetation on the lower part of the driveway. Our largest
pumper would hit the overhead and side branches.
o We would request that the owner identify the driveway with a reflective type house numbers of the
address."
DISCUSSION:
Commissioner Ryan disclosed that her husband was the engineer on the file.
Mr. Hunn stated that the board and staff had conducted a site visit at the location. The site was located
about 18 miles north of Wolcott just off Hwy 131. The applicant was requesting a special use permit for a
marijuana cultivation facility of up to five(5)acres outdoors within a resource zone district. There was a home on
the property for employee housing and security operations. The special use standards considered consistency with
comprehensive plan,compatibility, zone district standards and whether the design minimized adverse impact or
minimizes environmental impacts. Impact on public facilities, site development standards and any other provisions
were considered. He reviewed the cultivation standards. These standards considered separation requirements,
minimum lot size,parking and storage, signs and illumination,retail sales,visual screening, scale, and adequate
water.
Taylor Ryan, from the Eagle County engineering department believed the proposal was acceptable.

Mr. Hunn stated that that applicant was considering alternative access points to avoid transporting
marijuana across federal property. Staff believed the proposal complied with the comprehensive policies, strategies,
and standards. The development was designed to minimize impacts and further the county's rural agricultural
heritage. This was a continuation of agricultural use of the property and irrigation rights. The driveway and on-site
wastewater treatment systems were not in conformance but the applicant had been working hard to mitigate the
issues appropriately. There were some neighbors that expressed concerns. The proposal was in compliance with
both Eagle County Land Use Regulations and guidelines. He reviewed the 12 proposed conditions.
Chris Green stated that the process began in December of 2014. He spoke about some of the state
requirements which were pretty substantial. Cannabis cultivation was allowed in resource zone districts. Edward
Tuft was the applicant and had 40+years in organic gardening experience.
Mr.Tuft stated that he'd lived in Colorado most of his life. He has a family business and they enjoy
agriculture. His farms were high quality and they respected the land. He believed he would have a safe enterprise.
Mr. Green spoke about the compatibility criteria. The property was greater than 35 acres and they were
proposing an area of five acres for cultivation. The property was historically used for hay. The property would
retain its rural character and the remainder of the land would remain as historically used. There were no schools in
the area and the ranch was 20 miles from Wolcott and six(6)miles from Bond. This was not intended to he a
winter operation. Water resources protected the long term viability of both ground and surface water sources. The
applicant demonstrated that they had senior water rights for the property.
Mr. Tuft explained that the water for the site came from the Yarmony Reservoir via an open ditch. At the
corner of the property they installed a gated pipe that would allow them to regulate water flow to the crop.
Mr. Green believed this was one of the most efficient of all the cultivation operations he'd been involved
with. There would be no impacts to the area that would be above and beyond normal farming activities. While the
cannabis was growing there would be minimal artificial energy consumption. During the grow season,May to
September,there would be two employees on site. There would be minimal traffic impacts. There would be no
lighting for the grow operation other than the sun although security lights and cameras were required by the state
licensing division. Since original submittal of the plan they had adjusted the water ponds and would only have one.
The intent was to hold water from the ditch for additional irrigation purposes. The existing pond would be
maintained.
Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about the existing water rights and storage.
Mr.Tuft believed they were in compliance with Colorado water law. As they took over the ranch they
would learn more about the property.
Mr. Green stated that the ponds were small and shallow and were not jurisdictional,but were just additional
water storage for dry times. All of the documents regarding water rights were included in the application.
Mr. Tuft added that the irrigation systems required building storage ponds approved by the Bureau of
Reclamation.
Mr. Green stated that they would not use the existing residence for harvesting,trimming, or processing
activities. The existing home would be used for employee housing only. There would be approximately two trucks
per week per harvest. A wetland survey was required and on final survey they found that some wetlands existed.
Moving forward,the septic system would be in compliance with Eagle County standards. The driveway was
surveyed in March of 2015. On either side of the road,there were existing ditches that were in good condition, and
to bring the driveway into compliance would be a significant amount of work and disturb the hillside. The
driveway went through BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land and the owner of the land had applied for a right-
of-way and as of July 2,they were very close to completion. Because they were unable to get approval to transport
cannabis across BLM land they were proposing an alternative legal access to transport the crop to the cultivation
and loading area. The proposed alternative access route would allow for ATV use only. They were within the
standards as part of their due diligence for off-highway trails. Security was heavily regulated and their fence met
the criteria.All the employees would be screened per Colorado State Statutes. Security personal would be onsite
24 hours a day and 7 days a week during the cultivation period. The site was above the valley floor. The applicant
believed they met the intent of the resource zone,would be maintaining the rural character of natural resources,
they met the intent of the comprehensive plan, and were proposing a compatible use.They were also providing jobs
and this was a sustainable project.
Commissioner McQueeney wondered what constituted a cultivation activity.
Mr. Hunn stated that cultivation activity might include transporting plants to the site and putting them into
the ground.

Commissioner McQueeney wondered if the condition requiring the applicant to provide evidence that final
approval has been granted by the BLM for driveway access across BLM property was necessary.
Mr. Hunn stated that he had not seen any evidence yet.
Mr. Ryan believed it was important to have documentation.
Mr. Green stated that they currently had driveway access and would continue to have it, confirming that
BLM recognized the driveway. They were in the process of formally documenting that relationship.
Chairman Chandler-Henry believed that odor was the biggest potential difficulty with the neighbors. She
suggested a separate condition requiring annual review.
Mr. Green stated that he did some research on the odor and there was no published information that dealt
with outdoor cultivation. It was a challenge.
Commissioner McQueeney asked the applicant if they agreed to the proposed conditions.
Mr. Green stated that agreed with the conditions as presented.
Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about the fencing and whether it was animal friendly. She asked if they
would be doing any pest control.
Mr. Tuft stated that the fencing was similar to deer and elk fencing used at his other ranches. He followed
the recommendation set forth by the Division of Wildlife. He was not anticipating pest control and was not
anticipating any herbicide use.
Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about the letter received from the Division of Water Recourses and
whether there should be a condition that addressed exposed ground water.
Mr. Hunn stated that they could certainly create a condition.
Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about the statement made by Adam Palmer regarding on-site renewable
energy being installed to offset the additional electricity usage.
Mr. Green believed the issue had been mitigated as they were not doing the initial cultivation and starting
with seedlings.
Chairman Chandler-Henry opened public comment.
Tomas Backhus,property owner spoke. The property had legal water rights and seasonal ponds. The
property was purchased as an investment. He sold the property to Mr. Tuft because he was a good farmer and
successful business man. He understood the problems with the BLM access but believed an approval was in the
mail. He supported the proposal.
Chairman Chandler-Henry closed public comment.
Chairman Chandler-Henry asked about the number of letters received in opposition and if the property
owner to the north had weighed in.
Mr. Green stated that the neighbor was present at the last meeting and expressed concern for water.
Mr. Tuft stated that he met with them a couple times and believed that any issues related to water had been
resolved.
Commissioner Ryan was comfortable with the compatibility issues and findings as presented by staff. As
for the driveway, she was comfortable granting a variance to avoid disturbing the hillside any more than necessary
as the emergency service responders and engineers were comfortable with it as well. She agreed with staff that the
applicant met the standards for cultivation. Given the conditions she was in favor of approving the file.
Commissioner McQueeney concurred with Commissioner Ryan and believed that most of the issues
regarding water rights had been addressed. She was comfortable with compatibility.
Chairman Chandler-Henry believed the standards for the special use review and cultivation standards had
been met. She thanked Mr.Hunn and the applicant for providing thorough reports. The variance for access was
reasonable and protected the environmental recourse. She did not think this was a change in land use; it was just a
change in crop.
Mr.Treu suggested adding an approval of the resolution now instead of bring the resolutions for a second
vote.
Commissioner McQueeney moved to approve File No. ZS-5281 with conditions and/or performance
standards if it is determined that certain conditions and/or performance standards are necessary to ensure public,
health, safety, and welfare and/or enhances the attunement of the use with the immediately adjacent and nearby
neighborhood properties and uses and the proposal is in compliance with both the Eagle County Land Use
46

Regulations and with the guidelines of the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan (and/or other applicable master
plans), and authorize the chair to sign the resolution.
Commissioner Ryan seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Ryan moved to approve the variance for File No. ZS-5281 associated request for a variance
from improvement standards for driveway standards regarding grade.
Commissioner McQueeney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
