He stated in the agreement they agreed to improve the Spring Creek Road and to do so in accordance with the Town of Gypsum's new standards which are being worked on by their engineer. Chairman Gates asked if they will exceed the old. Mr. Loeffler stated the new standards will exceed the old. The new standards have been approved by the County Engineer except for a couple of exceptions. The town has agreed to compromise on the issue of the bike paths in number, there will be one, and the need to landscape between the bike path and the roadway. Thirdly, the new standards require a geotechnical fabric the old standard did not. Our engineer thinks the soil type is such the fabric could be appropriate but perhaps a little costly. He feels it is inappropriate to make it an actual requirement unless necessary. The Town has also asked we change one of the conditions explicitly providing for Gypsum to collect from other users a cost recovery tab fee for the funds expended to build the air terminal sewer. They will add the cost recovery to this document and will add to that the information, formula and cost information. We don't know that it will be done or not. The agreement they gave them said they would enter into a cost recovery. Mr. Loeffler suggested if they approve the road standard change, they adopt it, and if they agree to the cost recovery formula that is presented and reviewed by the attorney's office, the Chairman be authorized to sign the cost recovery formula as well. Commissioner Phillips moved to approve the Annexation Agreement between Eagle County and Town of Gypsum authorizing the Chairman to sign the cost recovery portion after reviewed and approved by the county attorney's office if drafted today. If there is no formula drafted today, a separate cost recovery agreement will be drafted for signature at a later date. Chairman Gates seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners the vote was declared unanimous. ~-- +-gk Chair n 7
