Mr. Kirkman stated that the acquisition cost totaled $2.306 million.. The management plan addressed management issues, goals, future uses, actions, and priorities. The Open Space Committee reviewed the plan. There was also notification in the Vail Daily and comments on the plan could be made via Google form which had been available. The plan considered habitat management, agricultural uses, and public access. Seasonal closures matched the existing wildlife closures at Brush Creek Valley Ranch and Open Space(BCVROS)which were December 1 through June 30. The uses for the cabin, shop, and barn on the properties were yet to be determined. 2 06/29/2021 Ms. King stated that there was still a section of privately owned Ridgway land. Mr. Kirkman stated that it was determined that the community trail would remain on Brush Creek Valley Ranch property and, at this time,would not cross the Ridgway property. Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if the Ridgeway property would undergo a name change. Ms. King stated that there may be a name change in the future. Commissioner Chandler-Henry moved to approve the Brush Creek Valley Ranch and Open Space 2021 Management Plan Supplement. Commissioner McQueeney seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous. Planning File - Eagle County Room 1. 89 Elk Track Ct,AFP-9151-2021 Michael Sylvester, Planning Executive Summary: This application is to adjust the building envelope through reductions to the south-east corner and north-west side by a combined 1,254 square feet. Those 1,254 square feet would then primarily be added to the north-east corner of the building envelope, as well as a small 34.55 square foot addition to the east side of the envelope. This adjustment would result in no net change in the square footage of the building envelope. Mr. Sylvester presented the file. Beaver Creek Design Review Board required that written approval from all adjacent property owners within 75 feet of the property be received or a public hearing process was required. The applicant wished to amend the building envelope. The change would not change the square footage of the building envelope. The request was found to be in conformance with all the standards. Stephanie Lord-Johnson,representative for the applicant, spoke. She explained the reason for the amendment was primarily with the grades of the site. In the first 30 ft. of the lot, there was a 32% slope. The objective was to stretch out the building envelope along the contours. She:-stated that the applicant had the application in front of the Beaver Creek Design Review Board(BCDRB)'four times and had responded to comments from previous representatives fob Lot 1 &Lot 6. They had added significant landscaping and were trying very diligently to work with the neighbors; The applicants were still open to working with the adjacent neighbors through the BCDRB process. Commissioner Scherr asked about the plat note recommendation. Holly Strablizky, Assistant Eagle County Attorney, stated that she did not believe a landscaping plan note was appropriate for Eagle County's jurisdiction. Chairman Scherr opened public comment. Kerry Wallace spoke on behalf of the owners of Lots 1 & 6 Elk Track. The amendment would move the building envelope closer to Lots 1 & 6. The concern was that the basis for meeting the criteria under the Eagle County Land Use Regulations was only met by the design. The design could not be approved until there was a building envelope modification. She believed the lot modification should not be approved without the design being set. There were concerns about the potential for changes in the future. She believed it was appropriate to place a condition on the final plat amendment in the event the project wasn't developed in the way it was being proposed. Chairman Scherr closed public comment. Commissioner McQueeney wondered if there was a way to communicate with the BCDRB what was expected of them in terms of upholding their requirements as opposed to implementing plat notes. 3 06/29/2021 Ms. Strablizky stated that the applicant had gone through a number of steps with the BCDRB and had explained that they would comply with the landscape requirements that the BCDRB was requesting of them. As far as requiring compliance with that,the BCDRB would be required to enforce what they had approved. Commissioner Chandler-Henry did not believe a plat note was appropriate. Ms. Strablizky stated that it sounded like the applicant had listened to the neighbors and additional landscaping was occurring. The county did not have a standard that required it. Commissioner McQueeney stated that she believed that the standards had been met. Commissioner Chandler-Henry concurred that the standards had been met and she supported the staff's recommendations. Chairman Scherr stated that he was prepared to vote. Commissioner McQueeney moved to approve the 89 Elk Track Court,Eagle County File No. AFP-9151-2021,because the application met the standards for approval of an amended final plant. Commissioner Chandler-Henry seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. Work Sessions - Eagle County Room I. Labor Market update 2.
