2. 06. i3 PUD — PLANNED .UNIT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT,
1) Purpose — To permit the application of new
technology and greater freedom of design in land
development than may be possible under strict
interpretation of the provisions of these
Regulations. The 'density of uses and magnitude
of development, however. must be of such design
and scale to be appropriate and consistent with
the character of Eagle County. The use of the
I'UD provisions is dependent upon the submission
of an acceptable plan, a proven favorable
environmental impact study ( if required ). and
satisfactory assurances the plan will be carried
out. Such Planned Unit Development plan must be
in accrord with the County Master Plan as may be
currently adopted for the County.
The Planned Development is a separate Zone dis—
trict and, only after specifically and properly
applied for, may be approved by the County Com -
missioners in accordance with the provisions of
these Regulations.
The PUD proposal shall be considered as a sub—
division in accordance with current Eagle County
Subdivision Regulations: The PUD Zone amendment
application shall be submitted with the prelim- .
inary subdivision plan. Included in this
sub.::ttal shall be a PUD guide setting forth the
proposed land use restrictions.
2) Standards and Requirements
The following standards and requirements shall
govern the application of a Planned Unit
Development:
a) The PUD shall be consistent with the intent
of the Master Plan and the policies
therein.
b ) The design and construction of the PUD
shall include adequate. safe. and
convenient arrangements for pedestrian and. .
vehicular circulation. off—street parking
and loading space.
c) While. there may be no fixed setbacks and
lot widths, the County Commissioners may
require such setbacks. lot widths. and
space between buildings as necessary to
6o
provide adequate access and fire
• protection, to insure proper ventilation,
• light, air, and snowmelt between buildings
and to insure that the PUD is compatible
with other development in the area. As a
general guide. 20 Feet between buildings is
considered minimum. •
d) Open space for the PUD shall be planned to,
produce maximum usefulness to the residents •
of the development for purposes of
recreation, scenery, and. to
y produce a feel
frog of openness. All areas designated as
common or public open space pursuant to the
requirements of this section shall be
• accessible by proper physical and legal _
access ways.
e) The developer shall provide within - the PUD -
central water and sewer facilities as may
be required by the County Commissioners.
the Colorado Department of Public Health,
and the local health authorities.
f) The development shall be designed to .pro-
vide for necessary commercial, recreational
• :and educational facilities conveniently to
sated to residential housing. ,
g) Clustered housing.;and other buildings shall
be encouraged to promote maximum open space
and economy of development and variety in:
type, design and layout of buildings.
h) Maximum height of structures shall be
established by the approved PUD plan. :
3) Criteria for Evaluation of the PUD . ..
The following criteria .shall. be utilized by the. .
Planning Commission and the County :Commissioners>
* in evaluating
any plan for .Planned Unit
Development:
a) Open Space

c) Density of Other Uses
The density of uses other than residential
shall be limited as required by the County
Commissioners upon consideration of the
Master Plan and individual characteristics
of the subject land.
d) Architecture
Each structure in the Planned Unit Develop—
ment shall be designed in such a manner as
to be compatible with other units in the
area, yet to avoid uniformity and lack of
variety in structural designs among the
411
e) Mixed Uses
The PUD shall be designed, insofar as
practicable when considering the overall
size of the PUD, to provide commercial,
recreational and educational amenities to
its residents to alleviate the necessity of

sufficient to indicate any proposed structure
conforms to soecial site conditions.
1) . The effect of slope characteristics on density:
The allowable density for all develipments .
within the RSL, RSM, and RMF shall be decreased
by slope characteristics.
The determination of. lot : slope for existing and
proposed lots of .2-acres or less in the. RSL, RSM
and RSF zones used to establish the permitted
density shall be made on an individual lot basis
using the standard method (See definition
2. 05. 66). For parcels of land greater than 2
acres, the determination of lot slope shall be
made using the composite method (See definition
2. 05. 66). .
2). Procedure 1 Conventional Subdivision:
A standard rule of 500 sq. ft. of lot area per
percentage point of lot slope shall be used to
determine the permitted density of development
within the RSL, RSM, and RMF zones. For
example, the minimum lot area per dwelling unit
allowed on land sloping 35 percent is 1
d..u. /17► 500 sq. ft.
Formula:
Slope percentage:. x 500 sq. ft.. = number .of
sq. ft. per dwelling unit
The above rule shall determine :density and lot;
size whenever the slope is greater than 16
percent.

3) Procedure 2: Cluster Subdivisions in Urban and 4
Suburban Zones
In cluster projects . in the RSL. RSM, and RMF
zones, the allowable number of dwelling units
shall be calculated from a slope analysis. This
analysis shall use 5 percent slope ranges and
the permitted density shall be based on the 500
sq. ft. rule.
Example: Cluster Subdivision in RSM zone . :
1. 7 acres (74, 000 sq. ft. )

4) Floor Area and Lot Coverage Restrictions Based
On Slope: .
In any case where the number of dwelling units
has been decreased by the slope formula above,
the associated floor area and lot coverage
calculations shall be based on the number of
square feet per unit required in that zone on
flat ground. ..
5) Special Design Cluster Projects:
For special design cluster projects.: the
percentage increase in the number of units in
accordance with the special design cluster
provision in the various Zone Districts shall be
based on the number of units a1Iowed on the
parcel after the slope restrictions are applied.

2. 23 •DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENTS STANDARDS
The individual lots 'and subdivision layout, the con—
structed improvements and engineering investigation
and design shall conform to the provisions of this
Section.
2. 23. 01 SUITABILITY OF LAND FOR SUBDIVISION
Land subject to natural hazards such as flooding,
wetlands, dry washes, intermittent streams, falling
rocks, highly erosive soils or steep slopes,
landslides, snowslides, wildfire or other natural
hazards shall not be platted for any use which might
endanger the health, safety or welfare of the
inhabitants. Such lands shall be reserved or other
uses which will not present these hazards.
2. 23. 02 STREET PATTERN
The street pattern in the subdivision shall be in
general conformity with a plan for the most
advantageous development of adjoining areas. Where
appropriate to the design, the streets shall be
continuous and in alignment with the existing plat or
platted streets with which they are to connect. Pro--
. posed streets shall be extended to the boundary lines 0
of the land to be subdivided unless prevented by to—
pography or other physical conditions, or unless, in
the judgment of the Board of County Commissioners,
such extension is not necessary for connection of the
subdivision with the existing layout or the probable
future layout of adjacent tracts. ,all dead—end
streets shall be provided with a turnaround with a
minimum diameter of ninety (90) feat. Design of
dead—end streets shall include areas for storage of
plowed snow. Proposed streets shall intersect one
another as nearly at right angles as topography
permits. Excessively long residential streets
conducive to high—speed traffic shall be
discouraged. Alleys will not normally be permitted
in residential subdivisions but may be required in
commercial areas. Where subdivisions are located ad—
jacent to existing or proposed arterial highways, the
subdivision street pattern shall conform to highway
plans. Intersection of proposed streets in the sub—
division with such highways shall be held to a
minimum. Lots bordering such highways shall be
either reverse—facing (on an internal street within
the subdivision) or be served by a frontage road de—
signed to collect traffic from within the subdivision
•
and provide access to a designated •
196:
intersectiol with the arterial or sub-arterial . .
• 'highway. Streets shall be designed to. preserve the
. visual character of an area. Large cut., and fills
are highly discouraged. Two access points from a
Subdivision are also recommended. Proposed streets
to be within three miles of any incorporated area
Shall conform to any . street system or official street
. plan, when applicable, of any incorporated area.
2. 23. 03 . PRIVATE STREETS
The creation of private streets is discouraged. PT.x - . .
. vats streets may be permitted based on the character
and location of a proposed subdivision, providing . the
following requirements are satisfied: the . .
right—of—way width, grades, curves, sight distances
• and improvements within the proposed subdivision are
all in conformance with requirements of these Land .
. . Use Regulations and there is no . land either adjacent
to or in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision
which will be denied public access for traffic,
-utilities, drainage or other public purposes solely
. by reason of the creation of private streets.
2. 23. 04 NEW STREET CLASSIFICATIONS AND FUNCTIONAL DEFINITIONS'
• All streets within the proposed subdivisions shall be
classified by the Board of County Commissioners in
one of the following general classifications:
1 ) Arterial Streets: will be designed to connect
existing and proposed collector streets with
. primary county roads and state highways.
2) Collector Streets: will be designed to connect
local roads with- arterial streets, to connect .,
• adjacent subdivisions, and to service commercial :
. and industrial areas. In those cases where a
proposed subdivision separates adjacent private
. land from a county primary road at least one
street shall be constructed as a collector • •
streew.
• 3)• Local Streets: will be designed to provide
access to single family residences in the Resi-
dential Suburban Low and Residential Suburban
Medium Zone Districts.
. 4) Mountain Roads: will be designed to provide
access from collector, arterial , or county roads . . .
to service the Resource, Resource Limited, .
• •
197 •
: Agricultural Residential, and Agricultural
Limited Zone Districts. III
• 5) Cul-de-sacs: Cul-de-sacs are dead end local
streets or mountain roads. The overall length ,
of a cul-de-sac from the intersection with ano-
. ther street or road to the radius point of the• .
turn around will not exceed 1000 feet. No
•cul-de-sacs will service more than 20 residen-
• tial units. Cul-de-sacs will only be allowed in
those cases where the subdivision tan adequately
insure that the road will be passable year
. around by virtue of minimum grades and
curvature, adequate parking, and snow removal.
Each :..ul-de-sac shall have a minimum of a 45
foot radius constructed roadway "bulb" at the •
dead end.
2. 23. 05 : • RIGHT-OF-WAY;W Y DTf4S •` •
. Rights-of-way .shall .be .provide'd .to -the following tni-
nimum widths: .
Arterial Streets 100 feet

• . to include all cut and fill :slopes necessary for. road
ct,nstruction and maintenance. In calculating this .
' . - width, all slopes will be calculated at the rate of
three (3) feet horizontal to one ( 1 ) foot vertical,
except in those cases where adequate engineering re-
• ports are submitted by the subdivider to ensure the
County Commissioners that the back slopes will be •
' stable at steeper slopes, can be adequately : .

through individual wells using subsurface
groundwater, providing that lots are adequate size as
hereinafter specified. If individual water supplies
are to be used, a report confirming the adequacy of
the supply and stating the expected aquifer depths
shall be furnished. For a large subdivision or
subdivisions having varying geology, the report shall
be comprehensive so as to be appropriate for all lots
in the subdivision. Where a community water system •
is proposed, the availability of the water sources
shall be explained and certified by an Engineer
registered in the State of Colorado and have an
Attorney, if necessary, to substantiate water
rights. Representative samples of the water source
must be analyzed by a reputable laboratory to confirm
satisfactory chemical quality. Water supply, treat—
ment and distribution facilities must be provided in
conformance with the requirements of the Colorado De—
partment of Publice Health and the Board through

operate at the Preliminary Plan stage. Design sub—
mitted with the Final Plat shall be of an engineering
level sufficiently detailed to permit accurate cost
estimates. The adequacy of water supply for any pro--
posed system shall be calculated on total development
of the subdivision served following standard
engineering practice based on per capita water usage
derived from peak demand, storage and fire protection
requirements; with the last—named requirement related
to location and character of the subdivision. Con-
struction of facilities may be on a phased basis.

. acceptable .system ' ma.y be constructed. on each lot.
•
.. Each subdivision wherein individual systems are pro—
posed for the disposal of sewage shall be approved by -
.the Colorado Department of Public Health based on lot
size, percolation tests, the type of individual sys— .
tern proposed and other requirements. of that
Department. Where a central sanitary sewer system is
