Work Session - Eagle County Room
1. Presentation of the 2020 Eagle County Audit
Planning File - Eagle County Room
1. Crown Mountain Park Restrooms, LR-9155-2021 •
Michael Sylvester, Planning
Description:
This application is for the design review of a combined restroom/shade structure in Crown Mountain Park. The
applicant is Crown Mountain Park and Recreation District, and the PUD Guide for Crown Mountain Park requires
that the applicant receive approval from the County through a design review process,prior to the issuance of any
building permits. The proposed structure is a 1,200 sqft restroom/shade structure,to be constructed out of steel
shipping containers, and located in the northwest section of the park.
Michael Sylvester,Eagle County Staff Planner,presented the file. The Crown Mountain Park PUD guide
required that the applicant obtain final design review approval from the BoCC prior to receiving a building permit
from the county. The park was 124 acres of open space,trails, and recreational facilities located in El Jebel. The
property was owned by the county and operated and maintained by Crown Mountain Park&Recreation District.
The restroom and shade structure would be 1200 sq. ft, made of three 40 ft. shipping containers welded together.
Based on staff's review and analysis of the application against the standards, staff recommended approval. The
Roaring Fork Valley Regional Planning Commission considered the application on June 16, 2021 and
recommended approval.
Ty Ryan, Eagle County Staff Engineer, reviewed the design review standards, site location,access, and
parking. Staff determined that the proposal met the standards, and the facility would not require any additional
parking.
Mr. Sylvester reviewed the standards and indicated that restrooms were a permitted use. The PUD guide
required the use of"dark sky"fixtures which was included in the lighting plan. There was no new landscaping
proposed. The only referral comments were from the Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority related to standard fire
code requirements such as the need for fire extengutures, illuminated exit signage, and high visibility addressing.
On July 1st,one public comment was received from Doug Crawford of Carbondale who expressed support for the
proposed restrooms and acknowledged the need for more trees and shade structures; he believed the structures
should be constructed with quality materials.
Rebecca Wagner with the Crown Mountain District spoke. She stated that they had seen an increase in
park use over the last year and the board pushed for restrooms in this budget cycle. Restrooms, shade, and water
fountains were the three top priorities. All four of the proposed restrooms would be ADA accessible and located in
an area that was heavily used. The reasons they chose shipping containers was for their durability and the design
fit within the current structures.

Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if the restrooms would be open year round and if they would be
insulated.
Ms. Wagner stated that the bathrooms would be insulated and could be used year around.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if solar was being considered for the future.
Ms. Wagner stated that there wasn't a lot of space on the structure for solar panels, but they would be
considering it on the property.
Chairman McQueeney Pro-Tem wondered why the design review standards would be considered by the
board and incorporated into the PUD.
Beth Oliver,Deputy Eagle County County Attorney,explained that the board at the time wanted to include
a specific process in the PUD guide to ensure that as each of the facilities were constructed,the design would be
reviewed and approved by.the Planning Commission and the board. The county owned the property and the
Crown Mountain District was only leasing the property, so the county wanted some control over how things were
going to look and how they'd be constructed.
Chairman Pro-Tern McQueeny opened and closed public comment, as there was none.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry believed the proposal met the standards and concurred with staff's findings.
Chairman Pro-Tern McQueeney concurred with Commissioner Chanler-Henry's comments.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry moved to approve File No. LR-00-11-2020, incorporating staff's findings,
because the application met the standards for approval of a site specific plan review under PUD Guide.
Chairman Pro-Tem McQueeney seconded the motion. Of the two voting commissioners, the vote was
declared unanimous.
