natural vegetative cover, as well as, unique access and water supply characteristics
typify each existing development in Eagle County. It is therefore imperative that a
plan be designed specifically for the community.or subdivision seeking special
consideration. The plan shall contain strategies to implement wildfire mitigation
measures that will provide equal, if not superior,, protection from the hazards
inherent to wildfire. The plan may include but not be limited to: Strategic vegetation
management incorporating the creation of strategic fire breaks in common areas,
along access routes and subdivision perimeter and on each privately owned
property; Creation of Defensible Space around all existing structures within the
boundaries of the Comprehensive Wildfire Mitigation Plah; Removal of dead and
diseased trees, clean-up and maintenance of under- story growth and ground dgbris
within common areas and on each privately owned property; Prcivision of or
improvement of an existing fire fighting water supply; Community/subdivision
ingress/egress and individual driveway improvements designed to accommodate
adequate emergency vehicle access and turnaround areas; Create at least two
usable points of ingress/egress to the community/subdivision; Provisign~of adequate
road and address signage; Inclusion of new technology designed to mitigate wildfire
hazard's such as fire-retardant foam or gel applications, and; Retrofit existing
structures with fire-resistive construction materials, particularly, fire-resistive deck
and roofing materials. The Board may also consider pre-existing wildfire mitigation
measures.
3.12.2 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this regulation., certain terms are defined as
follows:
COMPREHENSIVE WILDFIRE MITIGATION PLAN means an exhaustive,
substantive compilation of commonly accepted practices designed to substantially
decrease the hazards to life, property and the natural environment caused by
wildfire. '
DEFENSIBLE SPACE is a designated area surrounding a building or buildings that
will be subject to fuel modification measures intended to reduce fire-spread potential
between the structure and adjacent vegetation.
FIRE HYDRANT means a valved connection on a piped water supply system having
one or more outlets that is used to supply hose and fire pumpers with water as
approved by the Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction.
24
• ~ •
FIRE-RESISTIVE CONSTRUCTION means afire-resistive shell- exterior walls shall
be a listed, one-hour fire-resistive assembly or log (6" min. dia.), and the roof shall
be protected by a layer of 5/8" type X gypsum board interior ceiling or nominal 2"x
T&G wood interior ceiling. Anon-combustible exterior wall surface (cement stucco;
brick, stone, cement fiber siding) may be used in lieu of the exterior membrane of a
listed wall assembly. Decks shall be one-hour fire resistive construction as defined
in the building code in effect at the time of building permit application.
TREE CROWN is the needle or leaf bearing part of a tree. The crown edge is the
tree's drip edge."
,,
3.12.3 PROCEDURE ~ , '
3.12.3.1 Hazard Rating Assignment Prior to the approval of a building permit applicable to
these regulations, a Wildfire Hazard Rating must be determined for the subject
property. The rating will determine the level of mitigation required~for construction.
,~
A. Wildfire Hazard Rating, CSFS. Pursuant to Section 4-430.D.1 of the Eagle County
Land Use Regulations,, plans for subdivrisions, Planned Unit Developments or
Special Use Permits in Eagle County are referred to the Colorado State Forest '
Service. The CSFS reviews the application and determines a wildfire hazard rating
of low, moderate, high or extreme for the project.
B. Wildfire Hazard Rating, Not Assigned. A wildfire hazard rating must be obtained
on properties for which the Colorado State Forest Service has not assigned a
wildfire hazard rating. Eagle County Community Development Staff, the .Local Fire
Authority Having Jurisdiction or the Colorado State Forest Service, using identical
criteria, will determine site- specific wildfire hazard ratings.
3.12.3.2 Inspection The level and type of Wildfire Hazard mitigation shall be determined by
Eagle County Community Development Staff at the time of building permit plan
check. During construction, the following site inspections shall be required.
A. Initial site inspections. Two (2) inspections shall be required prior to the issuance
of a building permit. A wildfire hazard rating for the property must be available.
Prior to the initial inspection being scheduled, the footprint of the proposed structure
must be staked out on the ground. The first inspection shall establish the defensible
space, identify trees and shrubs to be removed or pruned and list other mitigation
measures to be performed within the defensible space. The second inspection shall
be made to verify that defensible space mitigations identified during the first
inspection have been completed.
B. Final Site Inspection. A final inspection to verify that all required mitigations have
been completed or properly utilized shall be conducted prior to the issuance of a
Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) for the structure.

3.12.4 REQUIRED MITIGATION
3.12.4.1 Defensible Space Vegetation Management Zones. Defensible Space shall
extend the distances specified in Table A (a minimum 70 feet for flat lots), or to the
property lines, whichever is less. Defensible space measurements shall commence
from the building plane, and follow all projections and recessions on each side of the
building. A defensible space required under these provisions shall also encompass,
and extend from, all, buildings on the property located within a 50-foot radius of the
affected building. Within the Defensible Space identified through application of
Table A, the following mitigation shall be provided (Reference Figure 1):
A. Zone 1: Is the area of maximum modification and treatment. The intent of Zone 1 is
to reduce fuels that are immediately adjacent to~flammable elements ~of the structure
and to provide a clear access area for fire fighting operations. Zone 1 is an area
measured 15 feet from the edges of the structure. Ideally, all trees within Zone 1
should be removed to reduce the fire hazard. If a tree or cluster of trees must
remain, it will be considered as an integral part of the structure and Defensible
Spacepursuant to Table A will be measured from the drip line of the tree or tree
cluster. This is particularly important if,the building is sidled with wood or other
flammable materials. Decorative rock or irrigated,' mowed grass creates an
attractive, easily maintained nonflammable ground cover. If the house has
noncombustible siding, widely spaced foundation plantings of low growing shrubs or
other fire resistant plants are acceptable (Reference CSFS Publication 6.305,
Firewise P/ant Materials or, the version of this publication currently in effect).
Frequent pruning and maintenance of plants in this zone is necessary. All dead
branches, stems and leaves must be regularly removed. All trees within Zone 1
must be pruned to at least 10 feet above the ground, but no more than 1/3 the
overall height of the tree (Aspen trees, individual spruce, fir and pine specimens are
exempt). All branches that interfere with the structure's roof or chimney. must be
removed. All ladder fuels (small shrubs, trees, tree limbs and other materials that
allow fire to climb into the tree crown) must be removed from beneath the tree or
tree cluster.
B. Zone 2: Is an area of fuel reduction. It is a transitional area between Zones 1 and 3.
The size of Zone 2 depends on the slope of the ground where the structure is built
(Reference Table A). Within. this zone, the continuity and arrangement of vegetation
is modified to reduce the intensity of any fire approaching the structure. Trees and
shrubs must be thinned so that there is a minimum of 10 feet between crowns.
Crown separation is measured from the furthest branch of one tree to the nearest
branch on the next tree. All ladder fuels from under these trees must be removed.
All trees must be pruned to at least 10 feet above the ground, but no more than 1/3
the overall height of the tree (Aspen trees, individual spruce, fir and pine specimens
-are exempt).
Zone 2 forms an aesthetic buffer and provides a transition between zones; therefore,
it is necessary to blend the requirements for Zones 1 and 3. The inner portions of
26
i ~~ •
Zone 2,,must be more heavily thinned than the outer portions. Tree density may
increase as Zone 2 approaches Zone 3. Isolated shrubs may remain provided they
are not under tree crowns. These shrubs must be pruned and maintained for ,
vigorous, growth. Dead stems and shrubs must be removed. No more than 2 dead
trees per acre should remain for wildlife habitat. Dead trees, which can fall onto a
structure or block an access, must be removed.
C. Zone 3: Is an area of traditional forest management and is of no particular size.
Zone 3 extends from the edge of Zone 2 to the property boundaries. Typical
management obJectives for Zone 3 are: To provide,optimum recreational
opportunities; enhance aesthetics; maintain tree health and vigor; provide barrier$ ,
for wind, noise;~~dust and visual intrusions. Specific thinning requirements are ~ ~ .,
dictated by the property owner's objectives; however, most thinning will, be done
leaving the biggest and best trees and on an individual tree basis. ~ Thinning ~ '
sanitizes and improves the forest stand by removing trees that are damaged,
attacked'by insects, infected by disease or are of poor form or low vigor. ~ ,
