RESOLUTION NO. 2012 -
A RESOLUTION EXCLUDING PRIVATE, SEASONAL RECREATIONAL
RESIDENCES IN THE FULFORD HISTORICAL DISTRICT FROM CERTAIN
COUNTY ROAD ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, Eagle County has engineering and dual access standards for roads
providing access to residences in unincorporated Eagle County; and
WHEREAS, such engineering and duality standards are intended to assure that new
development in unincorporated Eagle County provide, to the extent possible, safe year round
access and residences appropriate for year round residence; and
WHEREAS, the Fulford Historical District has long been recognized in the County Land
Use Regulations as a separate and unique zone district in unincorporated Eagle County,
reflecting its long- standing historical development as a seasonal recreation residential area; and
WHEREAS, usage of residences in the Fulford Historical District historically and
currently is essentially seasonal and largely in the summer; and
WHEREAS, residents of Fulford knowingly have chosen a remote, rustic location with
risk of unavailability of emergency and other services inherent in the distance of Fulford from
such services and the seasonal nature of access to Fulford; and
WHEREAS, the County Planning Department and Engineering Department have
determined that the certain access road engineering and duality requirements are not necessary or
appropriate for private, seasonal use residences in the Fulford Historical District and should not
be applied to such residences in the Fulford Historical District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
THAT based on the judgment and recommendation of the County Planning Department
and Engineering Department, the Board of County Commissioners authorizes and directs that
County access road engineering standards and dual access requirements not be applied to non-
