THAT,proper publication and public notice was provided as required by the ECLUR and state law for the hearings before the Planning Commission and the Board. 2. THAT,the Application complies with the standards in ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m-Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD, as set forth below: A. Modification.Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(1),the Application allows for more efficient development within,and the preservation of,the entire PUD. The proposed modification,removal,or release of the existing PUD Guide is consistent with efficient development and preservation of the PUD, as all of the uses except for the special events(101 - 400 people)are less impactful, including fewer loading/unloading trips, fewer public daily vehicular trips, and less intensive use of the property with the removal of greenhouses and the installation of landscaping. The addition of special events on the Property will have the same or lesser impact on the Property,with the proposed off-site commercial shuttling/parking of event attendees. The additional use within the PUD Guide of up to three(3)residential dwelling units seeks to address the deficiency of housing in Eagle County generally, and the Applicant specifically. B. Adjacent Properties. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(2), the Application will not affect, in a substantially adverse manner,either the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across the street from the Property or the public interest. The public and adjoining property owners will not experience substantially different impacts with the Applicant's utilization of the offices, as the building footprint will initially remain the same. Retail activities will no longer occur on the Property. The meeting space will be utilized by the Applicant's staff,but may also be offered to outside users,as meeting space in the valley is limited. The outdoor space will allow for limited plant propagation,but the intensity of the use will be decreased with the removal of the retail/ wholesale component. The loading and unloading of plant species for revegetation efforts in the valley will continue,but to a far lesser extent than the prior commercial retail operation. The creation of landscaped outdoor spaces,picnic areas,and quiet spaces through native plant areas, in addition to gathering space for local youth, event and meeting space for conservation collaborators,educational resources for local landowners, conservation programming,and the scenic overlook will create a benefit,not a detriment, in creating a more aesthetic and less impactful scenario for the adjacent property owners than that which currently exists. C. Benefit.Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(3),the Application is not being granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person. As the Applicant is a nonprofit 501(c)(3),the public, other nonprofits agencies,taxing districts, and others benefit from EVLT's stewardship of the Property and from the Applicant's public assistance in conservation and preservation tasks as a land trust. Benefits to the public from this proposal include the creation of outdoor spaces to include gathering space for local youth, event and meeting space for both the Applicant and the • public, including being a facilitator of conservation collaborators, educational resources for local landowners, a community gear library,conservation programming,plant propagation for stewardship projects,and the scenic overlook at the northern end of the Property. D. Amendment. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.m(4),the Application will not have the • effect of extending vested rights as none was requested by the Applicant.. DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 3. THAT,the Application complies with the standards in ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e- Standards for Preliminary Plan for PUD,as set forth below: A. Unified ownership or control. The Applicant owns all lands within the PUD. The Property is not part of any Home Owner's Association or Property Owner's Association. The record before the Board establishes that the standard for unified ownership or control is satisfied. B. Uses. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(2),uses allowed within the PUD are consistent with uses allowed in Table 3-300, "Residential,Agricultural and Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule", and Table 3-320, "Commercial and Industrial Zone Districts Use Schedule"with certain variations. The Application proposes Permitted Uses of administrative/offices, educational programming, events and gatherings,open space and landscaping,parking/loading/ unloading Areas; Accessory Uses of residential units (up to 3), interpretive gardens,wildlife viewing areas,plant propagation, and solar energy devices; and Temporary Uses of event tents and construction trailers. The Applicant's requests for variations for educational programming, with a basis of being a Public Facility, and residential,with a basis of Affordable Housing, are supported by staff,as the educational programming is similar to public education, and the residential will be small,units,both of which are uses very much needed in Eagle County. The uses of parking/loading/unloading areas, landscaping, and open space are typical requirements of developments, subdivisions,and/or PUDs, and these uses are therefore supported as uses within the PUD. The uses of solar devices, event tents, and construction trailers are allowed with the issuance of a building permit or through review by the fire department, and are therefore supported as accessory and temporary uses within the PUD. The record before the Board establishes that the standard for uses is satisfied. The PUD Guide is attached to this resolution as Exhibit B. C. Dimensional Limitations. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(3),the dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD are those specified in the PUD Guide. The proposed variation request to increase in the rear setback from five(5)feet to ten(10)feet is supported, as this setback seeks to protect the northern boundary of the Property and obtains desired design qualities. The original PUD approval allowed for a variation in the side yard setback from the greater of 12.5' or half the building height to ten(10) feet. This variation is still appropriate. The other dimensional limitations, as detailed in the PUD,are appropriate for the uses. The Variation Schedule is attached to this resolution as Exhibit C. D. Off-Street Parking and Loading.Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(4), it has been demonstrated that off-street parking and loading requirements within the PUD continue to conform to the standards of ECLUR Article 4,Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards.As set forth in the Application and the staff report presented to the Board on June 4, 2024,the PUD will provide twenty-five(25)permanent surface parking spaces, including one(1) accessible parking space, and this number exceeds the minimum parking space requirement of seventeen(17)based on office and residential uses. The proposed uses in the PUD will reduce the average daily parking demand, largely due to the deletion of the retail/wholesale component of the prior use, and with the exception of the proposed special events or gatherings for 31 to 400 people,which will have a larger,but manageable, impact. In these circumstances,the Applicant shall exercise off-site parking and commercial shuttling of guests to mitigate parking impacts per the Parking and Event Management Plan,attached as Exhibit D. DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 E. Landscaping. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(5),a landscaping plan was provided in the Application,along with additional language within the PUD Guide, Section 7.2,which is in compliance with the standards of Article 4,Division 2,Landscaping and Illumination Standards. The PUD Guide requires downcast and/or full cut-off exterior fixtures in compliance with dark sky provisions.No changes to applicable landscaping or illumination standards are proposed by the Application. F. Signs. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(6),the PUD Guide is in compliance with the standards of Article 4,Division 3,Signs, as it establishes an allowance for an entry sign not to exceed sixty-four(64) square feet,as well as an unlimited number of wayfinding signs to describe species of plants not exceeding two (2)square feet each. G. Adequate Facilities. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(7), facilities and infrastructure requirements of potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, electrical supply, fire protection, and roads,are currently provided and conveniently located in relation to schools, police and fire protection, and emergency medical services as follows: Roads. The Property is accessed by U.S. Highway 6, according to Colorado Department of Transportation("CDOT")Access Permit#397111, and no new access permit is required as long as traffic trips to the site do not increase by 20%of the existing traffic trips, or 400 daily traffic trips. However, in order to ensure the PUD is served by adequate access and roads,Conditions of Approval 1,2, and 3 are necessary. Condition of Approval 1 provides the Applicant shall submit to CDOT a special use permit for the access enhancements proposed within the U.S. Highway 6 right-of-way. Per Condition of Approval 2,the Applicant shall submit to CDOT a special use permit for the replacement of a waterline serving the residential units, if proposed in the future. Per Condition of Approval 3, the Applicant shall conduct a traffic study and submit to CDOT an access permit application for review and approval by CDOT regarding the residential units, if proposed in the future. Water Supply. Sewage and Wastewater: Water is provided by the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority("UPRWA"). Wastewater disposal is provided by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District("ERWSD").A conditional capacity to serve letter was provided in the Application, indicating that all the proposed uses,excluding residential can and will be served by UERWA and ERWSD. Per Condition of Approval 4, the Applicant must dedicate additional water rights for the proposed residential use to ensure that the Application meets standards for water supply and wastewater. Solid Waste Disposal: The Applicant proposes that solid waste disposal will be provided by a private contractor in a residential tote to accommodate daily trash. Electrical Service: Holy Cross Energy provides electrical service to the Property currently,and will continue to do so. Natural Gas Service: XCel Energy provides natural gas service to the Property. However,the Applicant proposes to cap this service in lieu of complete electrification of the site. Emergency Services: The Eagle River Fire Protection District provides fire protection to the Property. The Eagle County Health Service District provides paramedic service to the Property. The Eagle County Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement service to the Property. DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 Construction of a hammerhead turn-around within the existing parking lot to improve access and maneuverability by emergency response and service vehicles will occur in Phase 1 of the development. A fire hydrant is located immediately across State Highway 6, and would serve the Property. There is adequate evidence that the Property will be served by emergency services. Easement: The Property contains an easement along its southern border with U.S. Highway 6, for the purpose of laying,constructing,maintaining, operating,repairing, altering, inspecting, replacing,removing and/or changing the size of one or more pipelines(with valves,meters, fittings,and related facilities) for the transmission of natural gas through,under, and across the easement area. The Applicant proposes to construct landscaping, a driveway and a parking lot over the entirety of this easement,which is allowed under the"1995 Right-of-Way and Easement Agreement"approved August 10, 1995 and recorded in the Office of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder on October 5, 1995 at Reception#573655. Schools: Although no immediate residential units are planned,the Property is close to several schools, including Edwards Elementary School, Stone Creek Charter School,and Vail Christian High School. Residential uses are subject to school dedication fees as set forth in ECLUR Section 4-700,upon application for a building permit for any residential unit on the Property. Soils: The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment indicates that the site should develop a soils materials management plan to address any potential releases to ensure these wastes are adequately addressed and remediated, if necessary,prior to beginning site construction for the residential units. H. Improvements.Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(8),the improvements standards applicable to the development, are specified in Article 4,Division 6, Improvements Standards, and are not negatively impacted by the Application. The Property is developed and the Application will have minimal impacts related to site improvements, including roadway, sidewalk and trail,irrigation, drainage, excavation and grading, erosion control,utility and lighting,water supply,and sanitary sewer standards as outlined below. Roadway Standards. The proposed improvements will not increase the daily traffic trips to/from the Property.Direct access to U.S. Highway 6 is provided(CDOT Access Permit No. 397111) and the proposed uses for the PUD are expected to decrease traffic impacts generated by the uses allowed by the Edwards Nursery PUD in terms of vehicle trips per day and peak hour trip generation.As the proposed development is not expected to generate more than four hundred (400)vehicle trips per day,no traffic impact analysis is required to determine the need for additional improvements on roadways affected by the proposed development. An existing trip generation analysis indicates that the historic retail nursery generated 204 vehicles per day, while projected or anticipated trip generation from proposed non-profit, administrative/office uses are expected to generate 43 average vehicle trips per day, a decrease of 161 vehicle trips per day. Per Condition of Approval 3,the Applicant shall conduct a traffic study and submit to CDOT an access permit application for review and approval by CDOT regarding the residential units, if proposed in the future. Sidewalk and Trail Standards. An existing internal trail within the Property will be improved, and additional concrete sidewalk built to connect uses on the Property, including the viewing platform, greenhouse, existing shed,rain/infiltration gardens, and terraced amphitheater. Additionally, a crosswalk will be built to link the Property to the Eagle River Preserve. As this DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 crosswalk is also part of the driveway for motor vehicles,it shall be paved and the Applicant shall work with Eagle County Open Space and Natural Resources to determine the best location for such crosswalk. As U.S. Highway 6 currently has a bike path between eight feet and ten feet wide located along its north side, separated from the drive aisles,there is no requirement for the Applicant to provide a bike path immediately adjacent to the Property,and this standard is therefore met. Drainage Standards. Stormwater runoff from all proposed development shall be managed so as to comply with the following standards: (1)No Direct Discharge; (2)Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas; (3)Detain and Treat Run-off; (4) Conveyance of 100-year Storm Flow; and, (5)Other Techniques. The Application contains a drainage plan for improvement with pervious and impervious surfaces, with pervious pavers(grass pavers in northern section of Property and gravel pavers in southern parking lot)meant to allow for infiltration of stormwater. The Applicant will install two small detention areas in the northwestern portion of the Property. The Applicant also proposes increased impervious surface by the outdoor amphitheater,but as there is no permanent construction of buildings,the Application conforms to ECLUR Section 4-650.B. Excavation and Grading Standard and Erosion Control Standards. The Applicant will apply for grading permit(s)to repair the boulder retaining wall on the southern boundary line of the Property, as well as to grade the site to install the parking lot, drive aisles, amphitheater,and drainage features. Utility and Lighting Standards: Utility and Lighting Standards are compliant with ECLUR Article 4,Division 6 requirements. Water Supply and Wastewater Supply Standards: ECLUR Section 4-680 Water Supply Standards and ECLUR Section 4-690 Sanitary Sewage Standards are adhered to as the PUD is served by UERWA and ERWSD for water and wastewater. A conditional capacity to serve letter has been provided for all uses but residential, and Condition of Approval 4 requires the Applicant to acquire additional water rights if residential use is added. I. Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(9),the PUD is compatible with existing and currently permissible future uses of adjacent land and other lands, services or infrastructure improvements that may be substantially impacted. The Property is surrounded by high density residential PUD,private open space,public open space,and light industrial uses. The day-to-day activities proposed by the Applicant(nonprofit office activity, irregular meetings by the Applicant and others in the community, educational programming, and landscaping appreciation all represent a decrease in activity on the Property from the previous retail/wholesale activities,and the special events will be carefully planned and the traffic mitigated with off-site parking and commercial shuttling. J. Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(10),the Application is in substantial conformance with the policies of the 2005 Eagle County Comprehensive Plan,the 2017 Edwards Area Community Plan and related Future Land Use Map,meeting goals of quality of life; growth policies and unlimited housing demand; community and character; major economic drivers and services and infrastructure costs; water quality and quantity;wildlife concerns; air quality; and protection of night sky. Specifically,the Application is in substantial conformance with the master plan goals,policies,and objectives,while adhering to the Future Land Use Map designation of Edwards Area Community Plan and Edwards Center DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 Character Area,which encourages affordable housing units, climate-appropriate and soil-stabilizing landscaping,public educational facilities, decreased air emissions, and protection of night sky, all of which are supported and envisioned in the PUD. As the PUD allows for a lesser impact than the previous plant nursery, the contemplated uses will positively contribute to the community and to the area. K.Phasing. Pursuant to Section 5-240.F.3.e(11),the PUD is in conformance with this standard, proposing two (2)phases,as such: Phase I Improvements: Phase I Improvements include the interior remodel and tenant finish to allow for intended non-profit administration and office uses; exterior clean-up of site, including removal of greenhouse structures, as well as removal of stored landscape contractor materials; and regrading and surfacing the existing site entry and parking lot to address.parking requirements and improve site drainage,while also addressing accessible access from the parking lot to the administrative building. Phase II Improvements: Phase II Improvements include the regrading of portions of the northern two-thirds of the Property to create outdoor program spaces,to address drainage and stormwater management issues, and to improve existing conditions for driveway access along the east boundary of the Property; and Landscaping and the creation of outdoor program/event space,to include renovation and/or reconstruction of existing retaining wall systems;creation of new drainage and stormwater management/water quality systems; creating hardscapes using porous paver materials; creation of planters and interpretive garden/landscape bed spaces; creation of an overflow parking area; as well as the design and construction of a potential elk viewing platform structure. The Phase I improvements are appropriate to address the most urgent concerns, such as access to the Property, site drainage, and exterior clean-up of the southern one-third of the Property closest to U.S. Hwy 6. The Phase II improvements are necessary for the Applicant's use of the Property, but also serve as a public benefit, in the landscaping and creation of outdoor spaces. The Phasing Plan is attached as Exhibit E to this resolution. L.Common Recreation and Open Space. Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(12),the PUD is in compliance with this standard. The Board did not require dedication of private or public open space within the Edwards Nursery PUD in 1996. The Application proposes in the PUD Guide up to three(3)residential units, for an anticipated eight(8)occupants. According to the formula of ten(10)acres of open space dedication for each one thousand(1,000)residents of the Property, the Applicant would dedicate 0.08 acres or 3,485 square feet. ECLUR Article 2 states that 'open space': "means any specifically designated or dedicated land area that may be used for park, agricultural,recreation or conservation opportunities. Construction within open space is limited to foot paths,bridges, irrigation structures, erosion protection devices,underground utilities, outdoor recreation facilities, and similar type uses. Ownership of open space may be deeded to a property owner's association, dedicated to the public, or protected in other forms deemed acceptable to the Board of County Commissioners. Indoor recreation facilities shall not be included in open space."The Applicant proposes a landscape plan that incorporates a `wild' approach, and the proposal anticipates the redevelopment and preservation of much of the northern portion of the Property in excess of 3,485 square feet for native plantings,Rain Gardens and Infiltration Gardens. Therefore,the conservation and preservation efforts on the site,together with the native plantings in a park-like setting,meet the intent of this section. DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 M.Natural Resource Protection.Pursuant to ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e(13),the Application is in compliance with this standard. Article 4-4 of the ECLUR includes recommendations and requirements for wildlife protection, geologic hazards, hillside development,wildfire hazards, wood burning controls,ridgeline protection,and environmental impact reports. Based on the developed nature of the Property,these are not applicable, and the Property does not contain substantive natural resources. NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Eagle, State of Colorado: THAT, the Amendment to a Planned Unit Development for the Eagle Valley Land Trust Conservation Center(formerly Edwards Nursery PUD),File No. PDA-009380-2023 is hereby approved, with the following conditions: 1. Following approval of the PUD Amendment, the Applicant shall apply for and receive a special use permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation for the widening of the existing access; 2. The Applicant shall apply for and receive a special use permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation for the reclamation of the street cut for the waterline replacement, if the Applicant proposes construction of the residential units. 3. Prior to development of the accessory residential uses on the Property,the Applicant shall conduct a traffic study to determine the traffic impacts of such housing, and shall thereafter submit to the Colorado Department of Transportation an access permit application; for review and approval. 4. Accessory residential uses may be permitted only upon approval from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District and the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority. In order to exercise this accessory use, the Applicant shall complete the District's and the Authority's water rights dedication process, and the Applicant shall obtain an Ability to Serve letter from the authority specific to residential uses prior to issuance of a building permit. 5. Except as otherwise modified by this development permit, all material representations made by the Applicant in this Application and in public meetings shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval. THAT, the approved Amended PUD Guide for the Eagle Valley Land Trust Conservation Center PUD,dated June 4, 2024, is attached hereto as Exhibit B; and, THAT,the Board directs the Department of Community Development to provide a copy of this Resolution to the Applicant. THAT,the Board hereby finds, determines and declares that this Resolution is necessary for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Eagle County.

Additionally, the intent of the Eagle Valley Land Trust Center for Community Conservation PUD Guide (the "PUD Guide") is intended to clearly establish all permitted uses by right, as well as those uses which shall be permitted temporarily or via the special use permit or limited review process within Eagle County Government jurisdiction. The PUD Guide also establishes all development standards that will control the placement, bulk, mass, and height of any future improvements within the PUD. 1.2 General Information and Historical Context The Eagle Valley Land Trust Conservation Center Planned Unit Development (formerly the "Edwards Nursery PUD") is located on an iconic and highly visible property in the heart of Edwards, Colorado. Situated at the foot of the Lake Creek Valley along the U.S. Highway 6 corridor and bordering the Eagle River Preserve Open Space, this one-acre parcel has been operated for decades as a retail nursery. Known and beloved by the larger community as the "Wildflower Farm," this property has a rich history and a unique place in the fabric of the Edwards area. Edwards Nursery PUD In 1997,Eagle County approved the Edwards Nursery Planned Unit Development(Eagle County File No. PDP-341-95-S/P; ZC-268-95), a single lot PUD established for the sole purpose of permitting the development of a retail nursery operation (Eagle County Resolution No. 96-101). The Edwards Nursery PUD Guide was a narrowly crafted land use and development control document specific to retail nursery operations and development of the site. Development standards such as maximum lot coverage and gross floor area for all structures constructed on the property were so specific that the PUD was amended within a year of approval to adjust lot coverage maximums,allowable square footage for the main retail building and other, ancillary outbuildings, the timing of sanitary sewer construction, as well as the placement of buildings on the property after the property owner discovered that his original development plan would not meet his needs. Following an amendment to the PUD approved in 1998 (Eagle County File No. PDA- 00012; Eagle County Resolution No. 98-108), the property was developed, with a retail building and certain accessory structures such as green houses and storage buildings central EAGLE �� LAND TRUST Conservation Center PUD Guide Adopted June 2024 TRUST DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 to the proper operations of the nursery.The Edwards Nursery PUD operated successfully and in conformance with the approved Edwards Nursery PUD for over twenty years. 2.0 Property Legal Description and PUD Boundary Lot 1,Edwards Nursery PUD;Located in Section 5,Range 82 West of the Principal Meridian, page 15 County of Eagle, State of Colorado. 3.0 Governance This Eagle Valley Land Trust Conservation Center PUD Guide shall replace and repeal the Edwards Nursery PUD Guide in its entirety and shall supersede the Eagle County Land Use Regulations (ECLURs) as amended from time to time.

EVLT also plans to rent or donate the space to community groups or other organizations for events and programming. Events Sizes Defined The Eagle Valley Land Trust will host three sizes of events at the Conservation Center. EVLT's events support the organization's pursuit of its land conservation mission and support the organization's operations by way of fundraising. Small (0-30 guests) events are defined as those where the property can accommodate parking on site. Medium events (31-100 guests) require some parking on-site and some parking off-site. Large events require all parking to be off-site (101-400 guests). Staff and volunteers are included in the guest counts. EVLT's events aim to embody the organization's ethos. Therefore, excess noise will be closely controlled to maintain a nature-forward atmosphere. Outdoor event music and programming typically concludes by 10pm. Large Event Operations Plan Day Before Event: The day before a large event is dedicated to load in and set up by EVLT's staff and contract services including tent, bathroom, and other rentals. • Event tent load in and setup (8 -10 staff) • Decor and table setup (10 volunteers) Day of Event The day of a large event, EVLT's staff and volunteers are onsite from 8am to 11 pm preparing the site, hosting the event, and cleaning up after the event. • 8am - 12pm site prep (5 staff) • 12pm-10pm - event prep/onsite activities/offsite parking &shuttling • 10:45pm -staff depart Day after event The day after a large event, EVLT's staff tears down and cleans the property. Rental companies retrieve their items between 8am and 5pm. • 9am - 5pm site for cleanup, teardown, loading DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 Large Event Parking Plan EVLT's Conservation Center can accommodate approximately 25 cars on site. For medium and large events, off-site parking will be required. Large events will typically provide a valet service at an offsite parking lot. Shuttles will transport guests from offsite parking to theConservation Center. Depending on the event size, 3-7 shuttles will be utilized. Because medium and large events tend to occur in the evenings and during the summer, schools are the primary opportunity for off-site parking. Three schools exist within three miles of the Conservation Center: St. Clair of Assisi, Vail Christian High School, and Edwards Elementary School. Written approvals have been obtained from Vail Christian High School and Edwards Elementary School (attached). Specific event parking permission must be obtained one month in advance of large events. Additional offsite parking locations may be added in the future and will follow a similar process for event parking approval. Parking Logistics To obtain parking permission, EVLT's event staff lead must reach out to the facilities manager at either Vail Christian High School or Edwards Elementary with a draft event plan to obtain parking permission for the event. Once approved in writing, EVLT's event staff lead and event planner should work with the 3rd party valet and shuttle company to develop a shuttling plan for the event, including shuttle circulation strategy, timing, signage, and staffing. At least two hours before the event, EVLT staff will place signage at the Conservation Center reminding guests where valet and shuttle parking is available. Signage will also be placed at the offsite valet/shuttle lot with specific instructions for parking and catching the shuttle. For many large events, valet attendants will be stationed at the vehicle drop-off location to help manage parking and vehicle circulation. In addition, EVLT requests that staff, board members, and volunteers carpool and shuttle to and from small, medium, and large events held at the Conservation Center. Any vehicles that must remain on the property during large events must be moved to the north end of the property while shuttles are active. Parking and dropoff by individual patrons or event attendees along Highway 6 will always be prohibited. Signage prohibiting parking along Highway 6 and directing drivers to off-site parking locations will be posted during events of all sizes. After large events, EVLT will follow up with offsite parking partners to ensure that their parameters are being met and make sure that the parking and shuttling plan is adequate for future events. DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 Shuttling Plan EVLT has typically employed a 3rd party valet service and 3rd party shuttle service to move large event guests from offsite parking lots to event locations. Events hosted at the Conservation Center property will typically follow a similar formula. The numbers and sizes of shuttles required will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the guest count. Typically, 3-7 18-passenger van shuttles, operated by a 3rd party professional shuttle service, are sufficient for transporting guests to and from large events. Shuttles typically begin operating one hour prior to the event start and leave the offsite parking lot in 3-10 minute increments depending on the number of shuttles available. Shuttle Circulation Shuttles should enter the Conservation Center property and pull forward and parallel to the curb at the front of the building. Each shuttle should pull as far forward (West) as possible to allow other shuttles to pull in behind. The front shuttle should pull forward and turn around in a counterclockwise direction and proceed to the property exit. Only one shuttle should turn around at a time. EVLT's staff will ensure that the turnaround is clear and maintained. No other vehicles may be parked or operated in the main parking lot of the Conservation Center while shuttles are operating. Load-in of catering and other event functions must finish prior to the beginning of the event. Vehicles on the north side of the property may be operated, loaded, and unloaded during shuttle circulation since vehicles on the north side will not interfere with the shuttle lane. Shuttles must be carefully timed so that there is ample room in the pull-through lane to accommodate them. Shuttles may not wait in or on the shoulder of Highway 6 while shuttles move through the Conservation Center's drop-off loop. If a backup occurs, shuttles should wait at the offsite pickup lot until the backup is cleared before departing. Third-Party Events EVLT may donate or rent the Conservation Center to community groups or other organizations for events and programming periodically. Third-party event organizers must submit an event operations plan to EVLT's Executive Director or Deputy Director, including catering, parking/shuttling, and outdoor noise details two weeks in advance of the event. Third-party events must comply with EVLT's event operations and parking plans. DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B88-9C00-47F4-A4E9.4A265B5D8683 Exhibit E Phasing Plan Phase I (Anticipated Winter-Spring 2024) Phase I focuses on work, both interior and exterior,within the southern third of the Property that will first transform the existing retail building into the new headquarters of the Eagle Valley Land Trust, while performing deferred maintenance on the exterior to the building, addressing and improving existing conditions (grading, drainage, and surface) of the existing parking lot, removing and replacing sidewalks and improving ADA access to the existing building, and enhancing landscaping and signage at the entrance to the property. The timing of Phase I improvements is expected to align with the PUD Amendment entitlement process, whereby interior tenant finish work is expected to be permitted and commenced during the entitlement process in the winter and spring of 2024, while site work to improve the existing parking lot and ADA access from the parking lot to the new administrative headquarters building will likely occur following PUD zoning entitlements in the summer of 2024. Additionally, Phase I will include general site clean-up over the entirety of the Property to remove structures and stored equipment and supplies associated with the retail nursery and landscape uses of the previous PUD. Key activities and improvements planned withing Phase I include: • Interior remodel and tenant finish to allow for intended non-profit administration and office uses. • Exterior clean-up of site, including removal of greenhouse structures, as well as removal of stored landscape contractor materials. • Regrading and surfacing the existing site entry and parking lot to address parking requirements and improve site drainage, while also addressing ADA access from the parking lot to the administrative building. Phase II (Anticipated Summer 2024- Fall 2024) Phase II will involve completing site and landscape improvements over the remaining two-thirds of the Property generally located north of the existing retail building. Phase II activities and improvements are envisioned as primarily exterior in nature and will be commenced after the Eagle Valley Land Trust Conservation Center PUD has been approved by Eagle County. Key activities and improvements planned within Phase II include: • Site Work: o Re-grading portions of the northern two-thirds of the Property to create outdoor program spaces, to address drainage and stormwater management issues, and to improve existing conditions for driveway access along the east boundary of the Property. o Landscaping and the creation of outdoor program/event space, to include renovation and/or reconstruction of existing retaining wall systems; creation DocuSign Envelope ID:E3647B8B-9C00-47F4-A4E9-4A265B5D8683 of new drainage and stormwater management/water quality systems; creating hardscapes using porous paver materials; creation of planters and interpretive garden/landscape bed spaces; creation of an overflow parking area; as well as the design and construction of a potential elk viewing platform structure.
