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. 3 07/06/2021 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. 2.
