Chairman Gallagher asked the Attorney's Office if there were any changes to the Consent
Agenda.
Diane Mauriello, County Attorney, stated there are no changes.
Commissioner Stone questioned items I and J. He asked Ms. Caryl to speak to maintenance of
the trails. He spoke to a pavement management program. He stated when he was on the Board, he
believes the Board was more interested in making trails than maintaining them.
Ellie Caryl, ECO, stated under the current plan they grant $1,000.00 per mile to those
communities requesting assistance to help defray costs for maintenance. As far as the trails in
unincorporated Eagle County, those are in the Edwards area. Road and Bridge received $4,500 through
this program. They will receive a larger amount this year as there is additional footage that has been
built. She stated there is also a pledge annually from the Edwards Metropolitan District to help maintain
those trails. She stated the West Edwards Section needs re-surfacing but can be maintained as is for a
few more years. She stated they are going to have a discussion at their retreat regarding maintenance.
She stated there is a need for a fair program.
Commissioner Stone stated he hopes they are discussing the concept of the pavement
management program. Sometimes there are certain treatments that seem expensive at the time but will
extend the life of the trails. He stated it is more than sweeping and plowing. Those trails need to be kept
up.
Ms. Caryl stated that is why they would like to do something to the West Edwards Trail this year.
She stated the Edwards Metropolitan District has volunteered to do the maintenance on the trails through
May of this year.
Chairman Gallagher expressed his appreciation to the Edwards Metropolitan District and
instructed staffto prepare a letter of such for the Board's signature.
Chairman Gallagher asked about the Core Services Agreements. He asked if they are State
funded.
Katherine Craig, Health & Human Services, stated they are State funded. She stated they have
not been told that Core Services will be cut any further.
Commissioner Stone moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.

Lance Badger, Cordillera, stated when an applicant is proposing a subdivision or a PUD, the
Regulations state they must address wildlife. They in turn engage a biologist and work with the DOW
and work up a wildfire mitigation plan. Maybe this can be used as more as a guiding policy. In terms of
7
02-11-2003
the Regulation, adopt something that says the applicant will provide a detailed housing plan with the
subdivision application. Let the applicant address the specific needs within that proposal and let the
County respond. He stated he believes it would give this Board and the applicant a lot of flexibility and
great solutions to some complex issues.
Commissioner Menconi asked if Mr. Badger's comments were in red on the handout.
Mr. Badger stated they are. He stated Gerry Flynn was on his way to this meeting but due to the
delay had to turn around.
Commissioner Menconi stated he had comments under sale purchase price procedures. He stated
in a previous meeting he had with Mr. Badger, there was no mention of the 3% cap concerns. In the
handout, there have been changes made to the statement, "the amount determined by the Board of
County Commissioners, the Board of County Commissioners shall have unilateral rights to remove the
deed restrictions at any time." He questioned what has happened since their last meeting.
Mr. Badger stated at the last meeting he attended there was discussion about setting the
percentage. The right to unilaterally lift the deed restriction is a recommendation because this Board
expressed the desire to be able to lift or change the deed restriction without the applicant being present.
Commissioner Menconi stated Cordillera does not have any more projects left. He questioned
the motive for taking such time in reviewing these regulations.
Mr. Badger stated his background is in architectural design and he has worked extensively on
affordable housing. He stated it has always interested him. There is a personal interest. There is a
second project they are currently working on that these regulations would affect. He stated the whole
purpose in creating these regulations is to encourage this type of housing. At the current time it is a
discouragement. The way the proposed regulations are written, they encourage the second home
product. He is just trying to influence the process and offer suggestions that might work better. No
single community in this country has solved this delimma 100%.
Commissioner Menconi asked if one item can solve that issue, which is if a development is in a
certain profile with regards to a medium wage earner, that would be excluded from these regulations.
Mr. Badger stated ifit were a Brett Ranch type of project and it was excluded from these
regulations, they have proved that it will work in the market place.
Commissioner Menconi stated his premise that these regulations will initiate second home
development because of the burden on the $250,000 project.
Mr. Badger stated project A is 20 units, they are 5,000 square feet each and are priced at $2.2
million dollars.
Commissioner Menconi stated the issue is a significant one. Rather than taking all the different
items, would it not be facilitated faster if it said "a property were to be developed would be exempt from
these regulations".
Mr. Badger stated yes, if a project like Brett Ranch were excluded, it would work.
Commissioner Menconi asked if that were to happen, would they be satisfied.
Mr. Badger stated with some ofthe suggestions the regulations could work better.
Commissioner Menconi stated he appreciates the work Mr. Badger has put into the regulations.
K.T. Gazunis, Habitat for Humanity, stated this organization is 26 years old and has completed
125,000 houses and now house over 625,000 people. She related they are the 15th largest homebuilder in
the United States and the 5th largest home builder in the world. She stated they do not use the deed
restrictions here but rather they use their own deed restrictions. It is shared appreciation. That means
that over the course of the mortgage, the buyer retires the deed restriction. They own the equity and the
appreciated equity of the house at the point of sale. If it is a 30 year mortgage, at the end of ten years,
they retire one third ofthe appreciated value to the buyer. At the end oftwenty years they will own two
thirds ofthe value ofthe home. It would be completely retired at the end ofthe thirty year mortgage.
She stated the purpose is to prevent a windfall. They want to keep affordable housing for the people
who need it. It helps eliminate transients. Ms. Gazunis stated they have a less than 1 % foreclosure rate.
8
02-11-2003
She stated deed restrictions with a 3% cap is an appropriate tool for a government project, like Miller
Ranch. It is not appropriate for private industry. Ms. Gazunis stated in terms of payment in lieu of
building affordable housing, they have recently been a recipient ofthe payment in lieu. They can sell
their mortgages to someone and give all of their cash up front, and they are in the position to purchase
property in Eagle County.
Chairman Gallagher asked for additional public comment. There was none. He closed public
comment for this session.
Commissioner Stone asked Commissioner Menconi ifhe had a meeting with Mr. Badger and Mr.
Flynn.
Commissioner Menconi answered yes.
Commissioner Stone stated he would appreciate it if in the future Commissioner Menconi would
keep all discussions in public meetings. He stated this was a public file and discussions are to be held
before the public. It could compromise the file. In a normal situation he would ask that Commissioner
Menconi would recuse himself from voting on this file but he will consider that at this time. He stated
he is sure that Commissioner Menconi had everyone's best interest at heart.
Chairman Gallagher stated he also met with Mr. Badger and other members ofthe public. He
appreciates Commissioner Stone's comments but believes this is a matter of great importance to the
public.
Commissioner Stone stated Mr. Badger does work for Cordillera who has another file before the
Board. He believes they should be a little more careful.
Commissioner Stone moved to table file numbers LUR-0038, LUR-0039, LUR-0040 and LUR-
0041, Housing Regulations to March 11,2003, at the applicants request.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
LUR-00043, 1041 Revisions
Ray Merry, Environmental Health Officer, presented file number LUR-00043, 1041 Revisions.
He stated approving these revisions will affect the Land Use Regulations. He related this matter was
tabled form January 28,2003. He spoke to the revisions. The following proposed amendments are
necessary if the revisions to Chapter 6, Sections one through five are adopted. Please note that new
language is italicized. There are two last minute changes
On page 13, Water and Sewer Exemptions. The word routine will be struck from A & B.
On page 35, Financial Guarantee. It was always meant to be at the discretion ofthe permit
authority to require or not require financial guarantees. The first line will now read, "before an permit is
issued, the permit authority, at its own discretion, require the applicant", and continue from that point as
written.
Taylor Halls, NWCCOG, page 15 section 4, stated they proposed striking that entire section and
on page 14, adding language on providing an estimate for determining ifit is a fonzi or an actual permit.
Diane Mauriello stated that change is found on the two page document in the Board's packets.
She stated another alternative for the Board is a flat fee. The third option is no application fee.
Mr. Merry stated his recommendation is to continue as is. The applicant can corne in and ask for
an exemption if they so choose.
Chairman Gallagher stated he likes the last phrase in the submitted language being, "any excess
funds will be applied to the permit application if required, or refunded".
Mr. Merry suggested the language remain as it is today.
Chairman Gallagher suggested a change in Appendix VII., he would like to include "used to
extinction". He would like people to know they are going to take it seriously.
Taylor commented some water is allowed to be used to extinction and other water is not.
Commissioner Stone stated he can think of instances where it is supposed to be used to
9
02-11-2003
extinction and it is not.
Nicole Guaromi, Leavenworth & Carpe, thanked staff for working with them. They are very
pleased with the changes that have been made. She stated the fonzi process gives staff the flexibility to
avoid the permit process through this finding. She suggested the County allow a broad interpretation of
that so that in the future, if the Districts have a change in their service it would not constitute a major
modification to their plans.
Commissioner Stone stated major is in the eyes ofthe beholder.
Mr. Merry stated he will note that.
