He stated this matter was previously tabled for Staff and the applicant to work out several issues. He informed the Board the remaining items to be determined by the Board are as follows: 01) The provision in the definition of Qualified Employee that restricts ownership of another habitable residence located elsewhere in Eagle County. 02) The maximum size of the employee housing unit and the credit formula. The applicant has requested employee housing credit for units up to 1,300 square feet. 03) Employee housing credits for existing buildin$ "M". Bob Loeffler, Ass't. County Attorney, explained the deflnition of qualified employee being they must not own any other dwelling units in Eagle County. Mara Kleinshcmidt, Attorney representing the applicant, discussed variables such as a stockholder in a company that owns a unit or the owner of a business which owns another unit. Mr. Loeffler stated the owner of a business is not excluded but reiterated the market is for those individuals who do not own other Eagle County property. Chairman Johnson discussed eliminating the phrase "or his spouse or member of his irrmediate family". Bill Williams, applicant, thanked the Staff for all their work and related four critical issues have been identified. All three Board members concurred with Staff recommendations for employee housing units. Chairman Johnson stated he would like to see the wording changed from "income earned" to "earned income". Mr. Loeffler reviewed the IRS definition of "earned income". 1 Ms. Kleinschmidt stated the word "habitable" will create a full exclusion for anyone with a partial interest in another unit. commissioner Philli~s questioned how the restrictions will be enforced. Mr. Fox stated it wlll be enforced through an administrative process. He related it will be the County's responsibility but documentation must be submitted by the a~plicant. Ms. Kleinschmidt expounded on the need to exempt building "m" as the units are between 13 square feet and 35 square feet over the limit for employee housing. She related one unit is over the maximum allowable square foota$e by 200 square feet. She stated due to underground ~arking the buildlng was built bigger, thus creating slightly larger unltS. corrmissioner Phillips asked where the maximum square footage figures came from. Mr. Fox stated the smaller square footage came out of discussions where it was decided if the units were smaller they would most likely stay in the employee housing pool. Mr. Loeffler stated price control was abandoned and dimension control was added. He stated Staff is recorrmending 10%' flexibility. Lengthy discussion followed on the proposal. The Board concurred with the square footage figures and agreed to exempt building "m". Bill Williams stated he disagrees with staff recommendation concerning no fireplaces. He stated he agrees with no wood burning but would like the ability for $as fire~laces. Discusslon contlnued on the use of gas fireplaces. The Board directed Staff to work with the applicant concerning the use of efficient gas burning appliances in some of the units. Commissioner Gates moved to continue file number PD-291-94-A, Riverwalk at Edwards to Februa~ 14, 1995, for further Staff and applicant deliberation on the three points dlscussed today. Corrmissioner Phillips seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.

He stated the applicant is applying for a sign permlt for the auto leasing facility on lease parcels 9 & 10 at the Eagle County Airport, in accordance with the requirements of the Eagle County Airport Minor POD Control Document. He stated the sign is eleven (11) square feet larger but with the proposed additions the sign would only be four (4) feet larger. Mr. Clarkson reminded the Board the Airport is not subject to the County Sign Code but rather to the corrmissioners direction. Brad Ghent, applicant, stated he does not have a problem with reducing the sign to 40 square feet. Bob Loeffler advised the Board the applicant on this application is the same as on a previous application for a sub-lease, in which the County denied that application.
