Chairman Stont': asked the Attorney if there were any changes to the Consent Agenda.
Diane Mauriello, County Attorney stated that there were none.
Commissioner Gallagher had a question about Item D and where the money is coming from.
Rich Cunningham stated these funds are coming from AlP 2004 Grant. A couple of things will be
pending, such as being able to award Schedule 3 for the taxiway, and whether the County will be able to change
order in the LED Lights that were requested by the airport.
Jack Ingstad stated that this project is already under way and the County really has no choice but to
proceed with the change order.
Chairman Stone asked about Item F, questioning that it is open-ended as to the location.
Mr. Cunningham stated that it is, but they agreed to move it to wherever we wanted, as long it is on the

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions
PLANNING COMMISSION DELIBERATION:
. Issues raised by State Division of Water Resources - whether they have been resolved.
. Status of agreement with the Bellyache Metropolitan District.
. Benefits to Bellyache Metropolitan District of approval of this expansion, including waiver of certain
costs, reduced water service costs, and elimination of potential wells on the 210 acre parcel.
. Status of 855 acres subject to a proposed conservation easement.
. Reasons why conservation easement has not already been executed.
. Whether the 855 acres subject to the proposed conservation easement can and/or should be part of
this PUD application.
. Alternative means to incorporate the additional 855 acres into the proposal.
. Nature of potentially adverse impacts on critical wildlife habitat and proposed wildlife mitigation.
. Potential of proposed development to re-activate landslides in the area.
. Proposed septic systems, i.e., use of clustered "de-nitrification systems".
. Impact of lighting in the proposed expansion area.
. Inclusion of a noxious weed control plan.
. Nature of the affordable housing that will be provided asa part of this development.
. Extension of Setting Sun to provide a through roadway through the new development
. Appropriate density in this expanded portion of the Red Sky Ranch development.
SUMMARY: An application for approval, at a sketch plan level of review, of an additional 210 acres ofland
and 30 single family residential lots to the existing Red Sky Ranch PUD which currently consists of 87
dwelling units, plus 40 accessory dwelling units, two on-site employee housing units, and two 18-hole
golf courses on 780 acres of land. The application indicates that upon approval of the expansion of the
Red Sky Ranch PUD, the Applicant will cause the placement of a deed restriction precluding
development on 840 acresofland adjacent to the expanded PUD, although the guarantee for such an
action has not been finalized. Further, the adjacent 840 acres is not a part of the PUD. As such, Eagle
County has no leverage to require and/or enforce such an arrangement.
CHRONOLOGY:
1998 - The Board of County Commissioners approved a Special Use Permit for the Jouflas Ranch Golf
Course to include an 18-hole golf course and a club facility.
2000 - The Board approved the Sketch Plan for the Red Sky Ranch Planned Unit Development.
2000 - The Board approved the Preliminary Plan for the Red Sky Ranch Planned Unit Development,
replacing and superseding the Jouflas Ranch Golf Course Special Use Permit.
2001 - The Board approved the Final Plat for the Red Sky Ranch Planned Unit Development.
2002 - The Board approved an amendment to the Red Sky Ranch PUD which relocated the two employee
housing units, revised the design of a golf hole, and relocated two of the residential lots.

Eagle County Engineering
. The proposed access to the development will need to be improved to meet Eagle County road
standards.
. The additional development has only one access point. A second access will need to be provided or a
variance from improvement standards granted by the Board of County Commissioners.
· The proposed development wjl1 need to meet all the requirements ofthe Land Use Regulations
regarding drainage improvements.
. The proposed development proposes two long cul-de-sacs. It is proposed that the Applicant consider
connecting the two cul-de-sacs to form a continuous looped road.
. If the road system is not modified, the cul-de-sacs are too long and will need to be provided with
emergency vehicle turnaround areas at lOOO foot intervals.
. The Traffic Impact Study dated October 15, 2003, should be revised to reflect a build-out year of
2025. Documentation is also required to support the "75% occupancy" rate for the proposed
development.
Eagle County Environmental Health (Notes based on verbal comments of 24 March 2004)
· Clustering of proposed septic systems is not apparent based on the information provided. The initial
Red Sky Ranch development proposal showed certain homes served by clustered septic systems in
specific locations. Environmental Health would like to see, based on site reconnaissance, specific
homes on specific lots served by septic systems in specific locations.
· Ground Water. Monitoring Reports required per 1041 Permit for the initial phase of the Red Sky
Ranch development have not been provided to the County. Environmental Health would like to
receive copies of these reports.
. Environmental Health defers to Colorado Division of Wildlife regarding homes proposed in critical
wildlife habitat areas.
. The application initially did not demonstrate that adequate water will be provided. Information
subsequently provided by the Applicant has resolved this concern to the satisfaction of the Colorado
Division of Water Resources.
Eagle County Housing
Letter dated 3 December 2003 to Rick MacCutcheon (Vail Resorts Development Company)
· In response to a suggestion that VRDC be allowed to purchase four units in the proposed Arden
Development across Highway 6 from Hillcrest Drive to satisfy the affordable housing requirement of
the 2000/2001 Red Sky Ranch PUD, a sketch plan application for the Arden Development plan has
not yet been submitted for approval. In addition, it can not be determined whether any units in the
Arden Development would qualify to meet the Red Sky Ranch PUDamendments. Further, it is
highly unlikely that these units will be approved, built and ready for sale by I January 2005.

. Transmittal of Memo dated 6 February 2004 to Cliff Simonton (Planning Division).
. Transmittal Miller Ranch Guidelines to demonstrate rationale for recommended cap of 10% on
capital improvements.
Memo dated 9 February 2004 to Cliff Simonton (Planning Division)
. The Eagle County Housing Department has reviewed the proposal from Vail Resorts Development
Company regarding the Red Sky Ranch PUD requirement letter recorded 6 June 2003. This proposal
meets the intent of providing affordable housing in conjunction with this PUD requirement.
. It is agreed that the targeted maximum price can be increased to $225,000, given the increase in
Annual Median (household) Income for Eagle County in 2004.
. In addition to a deed restriction limiting re-sale prices to appreciation rates based on the Consumer
Price Index, it is recommended that the deed restrictions require the purchaser to be employed in
Eagle County at least 30 hours a week, or have worked in Eagle County for the past five years for 30
hours a week prior to retirement. The deed restriction should also state that the home must be the
primary residence of the buyer.
. The Miller Ranch Guidelines, specifically Exhibit A, should be used to help calculate permitted
capital improvements for the purpose of detemrining a maximum re-sale price for homes.
. These homes will need to have a Certificate of Occupancy before I January 2005 to be in compliance
with the PUD requirement letter.
Eagle River Fire Protection District
. Road widths, grades, pullouts and cul-de-sacs need to be defined so emergency vehicle access can be
reviewed. It appears that the proposed road will mirror the existing system, which is approved.
. The extension of the existing water system as opposed to individual wells provides a more reliable
fire fighting water supply.
. The issues identified in item 3.11, Fire Protection, have been presented to and discussed with the
Board of Directors of the District. It is the District's intention to proceed along those lines.
[NOTE: Items discussed in Item 3.11 of the application include (a) pursuing a contract for service
provision by Eagle River Fire Protection District with the Greater Eagle Fire Protection District for
service outside ofthe former district's boundaries, and (b) a financial commitment from the applicant
that will allow the Eagle River Fire Protection District to accelerate the time frame for construction of
a fire station in the Wolcott area.]
Eagle County School District (RE50J)
. The 30 additional single-family units would result in a dedication requirement of 0.4530 acreS (30
single-family units x .0151 acres per unit = 0.4530 acres).
. As the land dedication is minimal, the district will accept the cash in lieu of land for this subdivision
sketch plan.
Bellyache Ridge Metropolitan District
Letter dated 27 January 2004
. The District objects strongly to the recent request by Vail Resorts Development Company to add 210
acres and 30 homes to the Red Sky Ranch PUD, based on the failure ofVRDC to fmalize an initial
1998 agreement with the Bellyache Ridge Metro District made contingent by Eagle County to the
original PUD approval granted Red Sky Ranch.
. The District has been unable to consider its right to connect to the Red Sky Ranch water system
because VRDC continues to change the amount requested for "upsizing". VRDC has not acted in
timely good faith negotiation to settle many other critical issues linked to the possible future
connection of the two water systems such as: the final interconnect point and route, interest rates, cost
of water, management, repair, responsibilities, and other important matters.
. The District recommends that the Red Sky Ranch 2003 PUD Amendment be denied until:
o The construction details of the Red Sky Ranch water delivery system are professionally analyzed
to insure it can adequately serve the requested additional 30 home sites and possible other
expansion scenarios while still honoring the previous commitment to the 87 owners within the
Bellyache Ridge Metro District.
8/3/2004
- 23 -
. VRDC takes the immediate lead as previously promised in finalizing an acceptable contract with
the Bellyache Ridge Metro District, resolving the "upsize" issue and all other outstanding matters
within an acceptable timeframe.
Letter dated 3 May 2004
. Since January 2004, Vail Resorts Development Company has been actively working with the
Bellyache Metro District to resolve all outstanding issues with respect the 1998 agreement for an
inter-connect with the Red Sky Ranch water system.
. As a result, the Bellyache Metro District is now in full support of the Red Sky Ranch Pun
Amendment before the County
. The District firmly believes that the requested addition of 21 0 acres with 30 home sites has been
sensitively planned to the needs of the neighborhood and will not have any negative impacts on the
Bellyache Metro District.
Bellyache Ridge HOA
Letter dated 19 January 2004
. The HOA has many important concerns, many of which were voiced during the initial hearings for
Red Sky and are still valid today. This new application makes these concerns even more crucial.
· Bellyache Ridge Road was never designed as a heavy traffic road. It has dangerous blind turns and
steep descents leading down from the entrance to Red Sky. Additional homes in this area will lead to
even more traffic on a hazardous segment of the road.
· Bellyache Ridge has been designed and maintained as a rural, country-like setting and night lighting
ruins the ambiance as well as creates a hazardous situation for wildlife. This addition to the Red Sky
PUD will add even more intrusive lighting.
· The reduced density approved for the Red Sky Ranch PUD was a great improvement. Adding more
homes now is an insult to the planning process accomplished for this area. More homes in this
resource zoned area create more roads, more infrastructure, more lights, more fences and more
development on important wild lands in the county.
. The north-west slopes and drainages of Bellyache Ridge are well known for their wildlife habitat. The
original Red Sky development has already compromised the winter range of major elk and mule deer
herds, as well as bear habitat. This proposal puts homesites right next to and directly in this critical
habitat. Hopefully, now that sheep grazing no longer occurs in this area, the elk and deer will return to
historical use of the area.
· The HOA acknowledges the dedication of open space in the application, however, this is land that
would not be developable, is extremely critical wildlife habitat and needs to left in open space
anyway.
· Bellyache Ridge is in a Wildfire Critical Hazard Area - as established by the County. Putting more
development into this area increases hazard to persons and homes.
· Another major concern is the water supply for the existing housing developments on Bellyache Ridge
Road. The Planning Commission eventually approved the new development (much down-sized) with
the understanding that the Subdivision's water supply would not be compromised and that there could
even be a water supply system that could be mutually beneficial. After 5 years, these negotiations
have still not been completed and the Bellyache Ridge Subdivision is in great fear of losing their
water to development lower on the mountain.
. The HOA urges the Planning Commission to listen to the surrounding neighbors, the concerned
citizens of Eagle County and deny this application.
Letter dated 5 May 2004
· Although Bellyache Ridge Road was never designed as a heavy traffic road, the
acceleration/deceleration lanes have helped pull Red Sky traffic off the roadway quite effectively.
· Bellyache Ridge has been designed and maintained a rural, country-like setting and Red Sky has
maintained that feel. To date they are being good neighbors.
· Thirty homes on 210 acres is not high density. The HOA also very much likes the 800 acres dedicated
to a conservation easement.
· The HOA is saddened by this increased loss of habitat, but rejoice in the 800 acres being put in a
conservation easement.
· Bellyache Ridge is in a Wildlife Critical Hazard Area. The HOA would hope that steps will be taken
by Vail Resorts to mitigate those hazards that occur on this property.
8/3/2004
- 24-
. An agreement has been reached between Bellyache Metropolitan District, Bellyache Ridge
Homeowners Association, Vail Resorts Development Company and the Holland Creek Metropolitan
District. The HOA's water issues have been resolved at this time.
Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
. The applicant will need to get a CPDES (Colorado Pollutant Discharge Elimination System)
discharge permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for the stormwater
control on a construction site. It is suggested that the County may want to require as a condition of
approval that the applicant obtain and comply with this permit so that the County is in a position of
enforcement should the applicant fail to meet the requirements ofthe CPDES permit.
. The applicant indicates that they will need a CPDES discharge permit for the proposed on-site
wastewater treatment systems, and that on-going inspection, monitoring and maintenance of these
systems is necessary and will be addressed by the Metropolitan District. It is suggested that Eagle
County requires an agreement with the Metropolitan District which specifies regular monitoring and
maintenance.
. The application indicates that drainage will be addressed primarily in unlined ditches. This is a
preferred approach because it allows for infiltration. However, vegetation should be established in the
ditches to minimize erosion from concentrated flows.
. NWCCOG understands that a portion of the drainage will be directed to a detention pond that also
'serves as a golf course pond. These golf course ponds that also act as detention ponds may get some
noxious algae growth. This can be addressed in a variety of ways from aeration to chemicals, but it
may make sense to have some contingency in place in case this occurs.
. The application addresses the need to prevent noxious weeks that often occur when soil is exposed.
What are the plans for controlling weeds on the home sites during construction?
. The plan for controlling erosion during construction should minimize erosion during construction of
roads, infrastructure and home sites.
. The topic of protecting water quality on golf courses should be considered in greater detail at the
preliminary plan stage.
Colorado State Forest Service
. The Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) has given the Red Sky Ranch a wildfire hazard rating of
high. The combination of shrub fuel types and topography contribute to this high wildfire hazard
rating level. This rating means that structures on the property will be threatened by average wildfIre
activity.
. Dual access, along with maintaining a minimum defensible space buffer of at least 40 feet in diameter
around all structures will help to lower fire danger. As another precautionary measure the CSFS also
recommends that noncombustible roofmg materials be used on all structures.
Colorado Geological Survey
. The proposal is to add 210 acres and subdivide the additional land into 30 residential lots. Lot sizes
range from 2 to 13 acres and slope gradients range from approximately 10 to 20 percent. Locations of
individual or clustered individual sewage disposal systems were not included in the plans.
. According to the preliminary geotechnical and geologic report by Golder and Associates dated 27
December 2003, the site is located within a large, old landslide which appears to be inactive.
However, the report indicates that conditions may exist or develop, due to natural changes or as a
result of development, which could cause renewed landslide movement.
. In addition, the report indicates that parts of the proposed expansion may contain local landslides that
developed within the larger landslide mass and may be prone to renewed slope instability as a result
of natural increases in ground-water levels or due to development. Borehole data also shows that
portions of the site may have a history of slope instability.
. In the fall of 2002, slope-movement and ground-water monitoring instrumentation was installed in the
expansion area; however, monitoring data from the instrumentation was not provided. The
geotechnical report for the expansion area did not model or calculate the risks due to existing slope
instability caused by development. Without this information, it cannot be determined if potential
geologic hazards can be mitigated for the proposed use and density.
. The geotechnical report contains many recommendations/restrictions on grading and where building,
septic systems and other structures should be located to avoid potential hazards. Adherence to these
recommendations is important; building envelopes, septic system locations, and grading restrictions,
8/3/2004
- 25 -
which conform to the recommendations of the geological report, should be developed and adopted in
any development approvals.
. If the exact number of lots, lot configuration, building envelopes and grading restrictions should be
determined during preliminary plan, the county should ensure that development activities, such as the
construction of roads and utilities, do not occur until preliminary plan approval or are evaluated for
slope stability impacts before the start of construction.
Colorado Division of Water Resources
Letter dated 20 January 2004
· A total of325.15 acre-feet of water is available to augment the consumptive use of this development.
The consumptive use for an average year and dry year is estimated at 292 acre-feet and 329 acre-feet,
respectively. As such, the plan is still sufficient to augment the projected water demands.
. Certain water court cases appear to be limited to providing for only 425 acres ofland for the
applicant, and alJother pending case will add only 210 acres, for a total of 635 acres. This is 355 acres
short of the 990 acres proposed for this development.
· All wells in the development must either be included in an augmentation plan or plugged and
abandoned.
· Due to a lack of a water-court approved augmentation plan to supply the land which is the subject of
the proposed development, the State Engineer finds that the proposed water supply will cause
material injury to decreed water rights and is inadequate.
Letter dated 2 March 2004
· The Division (DWR) has reviewed additional information regarding this proposal. The additional
information which responds to issues concerning the area included in the plan for augmentation.
DWR accepts the interpretation that the 297 acre golf course expansion was included in a previous
case, but it does not appear reasonable that the Wolcott Parcels were included in another case. DWR
suggests that the plan for augmentation be modified to include these parcels.
· DWR also accepts the interpretation regarding the status ofa certain Well Permit. This issue is
considered resolved, since the Well Abandonment Report indicates that this well has been plugged
and abandoned.
· Since the plan for augmentation is sufficient to augment the projected water demands of the proposed
development, the State Engineer finds that the proposed water supply will not cause material injury to
decreed water rights and is adequate.
Colorado Division of Wildlife
Letter dated 1 j January 2004
· Although the inclusion of the 840 acres west of this project would have been a significant
contribution for wildlife habitat, CDOW understands that this acreage will not be included in this
project, mainly due to the involvement of a separate third party who is not a party to this project.
· Although significant, the arrangement regarding the 840 acres to the west would also have posed
several questions about on-site mitigation obligations ofthe development and CDOW agrees that it
should not be considered as a part of this project. However, CDOW would like to bring to the
attention of the County the importance of the adjacent property with future development in mind. As
properties become developed, open space, movement corridors, and habitat concerns become
increasingly important.
· Elk Calving Habitat - The southern half of the proposed development lies entirely within the
CDOW's WRIS Maps Defined Calving Habitat, which is defined as critical habitat. While the
Applicant's surveys have shown that this habitat maybe minimal, CDOW maintains that its WRIS
mapping is accurate and a contributing factor for their assessment may be primarily due to over
grazing from sheep herds. This habitat could be critical in future years, especially since Phase 1 of
Red Sky Ranch was permitted in a portion of this calving area. CDOW recommendations include:
· Remove the southern half of the 210 acres to allow for a buffer between the development and
this possible critical habitat; or
· Allow two stages of development, approving development of the northern lots while the southern
area could be studied after sheep grazing is gone to evaluate the habitat (minimum of five years to
allow for habitat restoration); or
· Remove development from the southern half and move eight to ten home sites to the northern
portion of the 210 acres with smaller lot sizes.
8/3/2004
- 26-
. Calving and Rearing Habitat on West Side - The proposed development of Lots 9-14 and 30 have
west borders to the WRIS elk calving and rearing habitat. The large size of these seven lots could
have negative effects on the rearing of young elk. Human noise as well as exposure to humans and
pets could disrupt this vital stage in elk calving and rearing. CDOW recommendations include:
. Reduce lot size to create a buffer area between the lots and this habitat, that is, a reduction from
the northwest comer of Lot 14 to the southwest comer of Lot 30; or
. Leave lot sizes as proposed, but create stipulations on the back portions of these lots such as the
seasonal closures on open space, and building closures.
. Open Space, Trails, and Seasonal Closures - Trails are proposed within the development, but their
nature or location has not been specified. Therefore, CDOW is unable to make an assessment.
However, placing trails very near critical calving and rearing habitat could be a detrimental
component of this proposal. CDOW recommendations include:
. Exclude the development of trails within and near the outlined calving and rearing areas as
specified on CDOW WTIS maps; or
. Require seasonal closures to these trails and open space as already provided in the Wildlife
Management and Enhancement for the existing Red Sky Ranch PUD (that is, 20 November
through 15 May), with closures of trails within the calving and rearing areas extended to 30 June.
Letter dated 24 May 2004
. The Division still maintains that this property has wildlife values that should be protected and the
creation of a conservation easement may do that.
. However, the certainty of this entire issue is unknown, draft language that hasn't yet been reviewed
by the Division to assure wildlife protections are included, a final signed easement is not in place, the
overall role it should have in this project is undecided, and the easement may be removed as a
condition of approval.
. Consequently, the Division conditionally supports this proposal at this time until these items are
further understood and agreed upon.
. The Division also wants to ensure that on-site mitigation remains a part of this project in which
impacts, to the extent possible, are addressed on~site before looking to an adjacent or off-site location
for mitigation.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
. The Red Sky Ranch PUD - Expansion has been reviewed in accordance with Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act under which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates the discharge of dredge
and fill material in waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Based upon the information provided to
this office for review, it appears the project will not involve such discharges. Therefore, a Department
of the Army Permit will not be required for the above-mentioned work.

for the property at the time of the applicationfor PUD. Variations of these use designations may only be
authorized pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3f, Variations Authorized.
The uses proposed for this PUD are uses that are allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a
limited use in Table 3-300, "Residential, Agricultural and Resource Zone Districts Use
Schedule", including single-family residential uses. No variations are required.
[+] FINDING: Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (2)]
The uses that may be developed in the POO ARE those uses that are designated as uses that are
allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a limited use in Table 3-300, "Residential,
Agricultural and Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule" for the zone district designation in effect
for the property at the time of the application for PUD.
STANDARD: Dimensional Limitations. [Section 5;.240.F.3.e (3)] - The dimensional limitations that
shall apply to the PUD shall be those specified in Table 3-340, "Schedule of Dimensional Limitations",
for the zone district designation in effect for the property at the time of the application for PUD.
Variations of these dimensional limitations may only be authorized pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3f,
Variations Authorized. provided variations shall leave adequate distance between buildings for necessary
access and fire protection, and ensure proper ventilation, light, air and snowmelt between buildings.
A variation from the dimensional limitations in effect for the Resource zone district will be
required for lots smaller than the 35 acre minimum lot for the Resource zone district. The
Applicant notes that the proposed 30 residential units is equal to the number of 35 acre lots that
could be created, without subdivision review, out of the 210 acres that are apart of this sketch
plan, plus 840 acres which are part of the adjacent Diamond S Ranch [(210 acres + 840 acres) 1
35 acres per unit]. The 840 acres of the Diamond S Ranch are not a part of this PUD. vet the
Applicant is proposing to designate it as open space and subiect to development restrictions in a
manner that would benefit the proposed Red Sky Ranch PUD Expansion.
As of this writing, it has not been demonstrated that the additional 840 acres will, in fact, be made
subject to development restrictions in a manner that would permit its consideration in conjunction
with this application, although a letter from the attorneys for the Diamond S Ranch has been
received indicating an intent to grant an easement on the 840 acres, but only after the County has
given final approval to this proposed expansion ofthe Red Sky Ranch PUD, including all zoning
and subdivision approvals. Further, the nature of such restrictions has not been detailed.
However, in discussions with the Applicant, Staff understands that a draft easement agreement is
under consideration by the Applicant and the Eagle Valley Land Trust (EVLT) and, once
executed, will be held by EVL T "in escrow" until approval of the PUD Preliminary Plan.
As a condition of approval, the Preliminary Plan should clearly demonstrate the manner in which
the 840 acres which are a part of the Diamond S Ranch and proposed as open space benefiting
this development will be restricted from further development, and the nature of any proposed
development restrictions. [Condition # 1]

and Loading Standards. A reduction in these standards may be authorized where the applicant
demonstrates that:
a) Shared Parking. Because of shared parking arrangements among uses within the PUD that do
not require peak parking for those uses to occur at the same time, the parking needs of residents,
guests and employees of the project will be met; or
b) Actual Needs. The actual needs of the project's residents, guests and employees will be less than
those set by Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards. The applicant may
commit to provide specialized transportation services for these persons (such as vans, subsidized
bus passes, or similar services) as a means of complying with this standard.
The Applicant notes that all portions of Red Sky Ranch, including the proposed amendments, will
comply with the parking and loading requirements of the Land Use Regulations.
[+] FINDING: Off-Street Parking and Loading. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (4)]
It HAS been demonstrated that off-street parking and loading provided in the PUD complies with
the standards of Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards, without a
necessity for a reduction in the standards.
STANDARD: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)] -Landscaping provided in the PUD shall comply
with the standards of Article 4, Division 2, Landscaoing and Rlumination Standards. Variations from
these standards may be authorized where the applicant demonstrates that the proposed landscaping
provides sufficient buffering of uses from each other (both within the PUD and between the PUD and
surrounding uses) to minimize noise, glare and other adverse impacts, creates attractive streetscapes and
parking areas and is consistent with the character of the area.
The Applicant indicates that landscaping within the PUD will comply with the standards outlined
in the Land Use Regulations with the exception of the requirement for a suburban style treatment
of street tree planting. The only common area landscaping proposed within the 210 acre
expansion area is to be the re-vegetation of the road right of way areas disturbed by road
construction, which will be planted with a natural seed mix specifically designed for Red Sky
Ranch. Other than the detail repeated above, no conceptual landscape plan has been provided. It
appears that the requirements ofthis Section can be met at Preliminary Plan review.
Pursuant to Section 4-220.C., Detailed Landscape Plan, ofthe Land Use Regulations, a Detailed
Landscape Plan will be reauired with the PUD Preliminary Plan application.

STANDARD: Adequate Facilities. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (7)] - The applicant shall demonstrate that the
development proposed in the Preliminary Plan for PUD will be provided adequate facilities for potable
water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, electrical supply, fire protection and roads and will
be conveniently located in relation to schools, police and fire protection, and emergency medical
services.
[+/-] Potable water supplv. - The Applicant indicates that potable water is proposed to be
provided by an expanded Red Sky Ranch Metropolitan District, which currently serves the
existing Red Sky Ranch development. The Applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Colorado Division of Water Resources that the plan for augmentation is sufficient to meet the
projected water demands of the proposed development. The State Engineer finds that the
proposed water supply will not cause material injury to decreed water rights and is adequate.
The Bellyache Ridge Metropolitan District has provided a referral response to this PUD Sketch
Plan application dated 27 January 2004. The objection of the District is based on the failure of
Vail Resorts Development Company (VRDe) to fmalize an initial 1998 agreement with the
Bellyache Ridge Metropolitan District regarding an option to connect to the Red Sky Ranch water
system. Issues between VRDC and the District which have not been settled include, among
others, [a] the final interconnect point and route, [b] interest rates, [c] cost of water, and [d]
management and repair responsibilities.
The District requests that the Sketch Plan be denied until [1] the construction details of the Red
Sky Ranch water delivery system are professionally analyzed to insure that it can adequately
serve the requested additional 30 home sites and possible other expansion scenarios while still
honoring the previous commitment to the 87 owners within the Bellyache Ridge Metro District,
and [2] VRDC takes the immediate lead as previously promised in finalizing an acceptable
contract with the Bellyache Ridge Metro District, resolving the "up size" issue and all other
outstanding matters within an acceptable timeframe. II1 a telephone conversation on 24 March
2004, Jan Eric Strauch, President of the Bellyache Ridge Metro District, reported that discussions
have been underway between VRDC and the District since the referral response was written in
January and that progress has been made. While Mr. Strauch expressed optimism that a
satisfactory contract would be developed, Staff has not been informed that a successful resolution
of the matter has been reached.
The Applicant has provided a letter from its attorneys, Glenn Porzak ofPorzak Browning &
Bushong LLP, to the attorney for Bellyache Metropolitan District, John Goodman of Goodman &
Wallace LLP, which attempts to clarify this situation and gives the Bellyache Metropolitan
District until Friday, 30 April 2004, to accept the Applicant's offer. Nonetheless, pending
resolution of this dispute and as a condition of approval, the Preliminary Plan should demonstrate
clearly how the Applicant has or intends to respond to the concerns raised by the Bellyache Ridge
Metropolitan District in its letter dated January 27, 2004. [Condition # 2]
[+1-] Sewage disposal. - Wastewater treatment services are proposed to be provided individual or
clustered sewage disposal systems. Development and maintenance of shared septic systems will
be provided by the Red Sky Ranch Metropolitan District. II1 Staff conversations with Ray Merry,
Director of the Eagle County Department of Environmental Health, it has been noted that any
clustering of proposed septic systems is not shown in the application materials. The PUD
Preliminary Plan for the initial phase of Red Sky Ranch indicated, based on site reconnaissance,
the specific location of clustered septic systems and the location of the specific dwellings to be
served by each. Similar information is necessary for thlS proposed development. As a condition of
approval, the PUD Preliminary Plan application should include detailed information, based on
8/3/2004
- 30-
site reconnaissance, of the specific location of individual and/or clustered septic systems and the
specific location of dwellings to be served by each. [Condition # 3]
Mr. Merry has also noted that certain Annual Water Quality Monitoring Reports for the initial
phase of the Red Sky Ranch PUD have not been provided as required pursuant to the initial I 041
Permit. As a condition of approval, prior to or concurrent with submission of a PUD Preliminary
Plan application for this Red Sky Ranch PUD Expansion, the Applicant should submit all Annual
Water Quality Monitoring Reports which are or have been due to date. [Condition # 4]
[+] Solid waste disposal. - Solid waste disposal services are generally available in the area.
[+] Electrical supplv. - Electrical service will be provided by Holy Cross Energy. The Applicant
will be required to demonstrate in the Preliminary Plan application that electrical service will be
available.
[+] Fire protection. - This site is within the service area ofthe Eagle River Fire Protection
District (ERFPD). ERFPD has indicated that road widths, grades, pullouts and cul-de-sacs need to
be defined so emergency vehicle access can be reviewed. ERFPD has noted that the extension of
the existing water system serving Red Sky Ranch, as opposed to individual wells, provides a
more reliable fire fighting water supply.
The application points out that the Holland CreeklRed Sky Ranch Metropolitan District service
plan included a cominitment for a capital funding contribution to the Eagle River Fire Protection
District (ERFPD) to be made when the ERFPD determined to build a fire station in the Wolcott
area. The application goes on to make a commitment on the part of Vail Resorts Development
Company (VRDC) (or VRDC will cause Holland Creek Metropolitan District) to offer the
ERFPD an up front loan of up to $500,000 to accelerate the time frame for construction ofa fire
station in Wolcott. The proposed loan is contingent on establishing a satisfactory repayment plan
with the ERFPD and approval of this 30 lot expansion ofthe Red Sky Ranch PUD.
[+1_] Roads. - The Engineering Department notes that the proposed access to the development
through the Setting Sun private drive will need to be improved to meet the Eagle County Road
Standards. In addition, the proposed development plan proposes two long cul-de-sacs which are
separated by approximately 600 feet at the end of the respective cul-de-sacs. The Engineering
Department requests that the two cul-de-sacs be connected to form a continuous looped road. If
the two cul-de-sacs are not modified, the proposed cul-de-sacs are sufficiently long that-
emergency vehicle turnaround areas would be required at 1,000 foot intervals. As a condition of
approval, the proposed road system should be modified to conform to applicable requirements of
Article 4, Site Development Standards, of the Land Use Regulations, or an application for
appropriate Variances from Improvement Standards, pursuantto Section 5-260.G., Variance
From Improvement Standards, of the Land Use Regulations, be submitted prior to or as part of _
the Preliminary Plan application. [Condition # 5]
In addition, the development has only one access point, that being Red Sky Road. A variance
from improvement standards was granted for less than two routes of entrance and exit to portions
of the existing Red Sky Ranch development. It is appropriate to further consider access to the
expanded Red Sky Ranch development within the context of the length of the proposed roads, fire
hazard rating, number of units proposed, topography and the recommendation of the Local Fire
Authority Having Jurisdiction. As a condition of approval, a variance from improvement
standards to expand the development served by less than two routes of entrance and exit should
be required prior to or as a part of the Preliminary Plan application, pursuant to Section 5-260.G.,
Variance From Improvement Standards, of the Land Use Regulations. [Condition # 6]
[+] Proximity to Schools - Public elementary and IDiddleschools currently exist in the Edwards
area. A public high school currently exists in Eagle-Vail. Schools are in reasonable proximity of
the site.

the development may deviatefrom the County's road standards, so the development achieves greater
efficiency of infrastructure design and installation through clustered or compact forms of development or
achieves greater sensitivity to environmental impacts, when the following minimum design principles are
followed:
(a) Safe. Efficient Access. The circulation system is designed to provide safe, convenient access to
all areas of the proposed development using the minimum practical roadway length. Access shall
be by a public right-of-way, private vehicular or pedestrian way or a commonly owned easement.
No roadway alignment, either horizontal or vertical, shall be allowed that compromisf!$ one (1)
or more of the minimum design standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials
(AASHTO) for that functional classification of roadway.
(b) Internal Pathwavs. Internal pathways shall be provided to form a logical, safe and convenient
system for pedestrian access to dwelling units and common areas, with appropriate linkages off-
site.
(c) EmerfZency Vehicles. Roadways shall be designed to permit access by emergency vehicles to all
lots or units. An access easement shall be grantedfor emergency vehicles and utility vehicles, as
applicable, to use private roadways in the development for the purpose of providing emergency
services and for installation, maintenance and repair of utilities.
(d) Principal Access Points. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to provide for
smooth traffic flow, minimizing hazards to vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Where a PUD
abuts a major collector, arterial road or highway, direct access to such road or highway from
individual lots, units or buildings shall not be permitted. Minor roads within the PUD shall not
be directly connected with roads outside of the PUD, unless the County determines such
connections are necessary to maintain the County's road network.
(e) Snow Storafe. Adequate areas shall be provided to store snow removed from the internal street
network and from off-street parking areas.
The Engineering Department notes that the proposed access to the development through the
Setting Sun private drive willueed to be improved to meet the Eagle County Road Standards. In
addition, the proposed development plan proposes two long cul-de-sacs which are separated by
approximately 600 feet at the end of the respective cul-de-sacs. The Engineering Department
suggests that the two cul-de-sacs be connected to form a continuous looped road. If the two cul-
de-sacs are not modified, the proposed cul-de-sacs are sufficiently long that emergency vehicle
turnaround areas would be required at 1,000 foot intervals. As a condition of approval, the

. Housing is primarily a private sector activity [but] . . . without the active participation of government,
there will be only limited success
. It is important to preserve existing local residents housing
. Persons who work in Eagle County should have adequate housing opportunities within the county
. Development applications that will result in an increased need for local residents housing should be
evaluated as to whether they adequately provide for this additional need,fue same way as they are
evaluated for other infrastructure needs

(b) Improvements Required. All common open space and recreational facilities shall be shown on
the Preliminary Plan for PUD and shall be constructedandfully improved according to the
development schedule established for each development phase of the PUD.
(c) Continuing Use and Maintenance. All privately owned common open space shall continue to
conform to its intended use, as specified on the Preliminary Plan for PUD. To ensure that all the
common open space identified in the PUD will be used as common open Space, restrictions and/or
covenants shall be placed in each deed to ensure their maintenance and to prohibit the division of any
common open space.
(d) Organization. If common open space is proposed to be maintained through an association or
nonprofit corporation, such organization shall manage all common open space and recreational and
cultural facilities that are not dedicated to the public, and shall provide for the maintenance,
administration and operation of such land and any other land within the PUD not publicly owned, and
secure adequate liability insurance on the land. The association or nonprofit corporation shall be
established prior to the sale of any lots or units within the PUD. Membership in the association or
nonprofit corporation shall be mandatory for all landowners within the PUD.
Based on 25 percent of a development being common recreation and open space, 53.3 acres [(210
acres x .25) + (30 dwellings x 2.63 people per dwelling) x (10 acres! 1000 people)] is necessary
to meet this standard. Of this 210 acre parcel, 40 acres are proposed as common open space,
representing 19 percent of the PUD expansion area.
However, this development is intended to be an expansion of the existing Red Sky Ranch PUD,
which consists of 780 acres, of which 360 acres is golf course and which the Land' Use
Regulations include in the definition of open space. When the expanded PUD area is considered,
8/3/2004
- 37-
the total area would be 990 acres [780 acres in the existing PUD plus 210 acres in this
expansion]. The total common recreation and open space would a minimum of 400 acres,
representing 40 percent of the PUD area.
It should be noted that the application indicates that, in addition to the 210 acres which are a part
of this application, the Applicant has secured a commitment that an additional 840 acres owned
by the Diamond S Ranch, adjacent to the 210 acres, will be protected as open space. The 840
acres is to remain under ownership of Diamond S Ranch but will be subject to a deed restriction
that will restrict further development.
As of this writing, it has not been demonstrated that the additional 840 acres will, in fact, be made
subject to development restrictions in a manner that would permit its consideration in conjunction
with this application, although a letter from the attorneys for the Diamond S Ranch has been
received indicating an intent to grant an easement on the 840 acres, but oI1lv after the County has
given final approval to this proposed expansion of the Red Sky Ranch PUD, including all zoning
and subdivision approvals. Further, the nature of such restrictions has not been detailed.
However, in discussions with the Applicant, Staff understands that a draft easement agreement is
under consideration by the Applicant and the Eagle Valley Land Trust (EVL1) and, once
executed, will be held by EVL T "in escrow" until approval of the PUD Preliminary Plan.
[+1-] FINDING: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)]
The applicant HAS demonstrated that the PUD MAY comply with the common recreation and
open space standards with respect to: (a) minimum area; (b) improvements required; (c) continuing
use and maintenance; or (d) organization.
STANDARD: Natural Resource Protection. [Section 5~240.F.3.e (13)] - The PUD shall consider the
recommendations made by the applicable analysis documents, as well as the recommendations of referral
agencies as specified in Article 4, Division 4, Natural Resource Protection Standards.
The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) notes that the preliminary geotechnical and geologic
report provided by the Applicant indicates that the site is located within a large, old landslide
which appears to be inactive. However, the report also indicates that conditions may exist or
develop, due to natural changes or as a result of development, which could cause renewed
landslide movement. In addition, the report indicates that parts of the proposed expansion area
may be prone to renewed slope instability as a result of natural increases in ground~water levels
or due to development. Recommendations for avoidance and/or mitigation have been provided by
the Applicant's geotechnical engineer.
CGS goes on to note that the geotechnical report contains many recommendations and/or
restrictions on grading and where building, septic systems and other structures should be located
to avoid potential hazards. Adherence to these recommendations is important, and building
envelopes, septic system locations, and grading restrictions which conform to the
recommendations of the geotechnical report should be developed and adopted in any
development approvals. It may be possible to demonstrate in the Preliminary Plan that these
,recommendations and/or restrictions have been adequately incorporated into the design ofthe
development.
In addition, the Applicant has provided a detailed "Critical Wildlife Analysis and Draft Wildlife
Enhancement and Mitigation Plan" for the proposed development prepared by Richard Thompson
of Western Ecosystems, Inc. However, the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) has noted that
potential impacts of the proposed development on areas of critical wildlife habitat have not been
adequately avoided or mitigated. CDOW has made a number of recommendations which would
further protect critical wildlife habitat and maintain the presence of wildlife in the Wolcott area.
8/3/2004
- 38 -
CDOW prefaces its comments in its referral response dated 15 January 2004 by saying that, even
if the adjacent 840 acres is eventually restricted from development in some manner, the
"arrangement would [pose] several questions about on site mitigation obligations". CDOW then
goes on to comment on the proposed development without consideration of any benefits or other
impacts of development restrictions on the adjacent 840 acres.
It may be possible to revise the proposed development to reflect in the Preliminary Plan
application adequate avoidance or mitigation.

This proposed expansion of the Red Sky Ranch PUD will be subject to the Comprehensive Sign
Plan approved for the existing Red Sky Ranch PUD. No change to the Comprehensive Sign Plan
is proposed.
[+/-] Natural Resource Protection Standards (Division 4A)
[+1-] Wildlife Protection (Section 4AlO) - The Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW)
responded in its referral response that, although the'inclusion of the 840 acres west of this
project would have been a significant contribution for wildlife habitat, CDOW has based
its response in its understanding that this acreage will not be included in this project,
mainly due to the involvement of a separate third party who is not a party to this project.
While significant, the arrangement regarding the 840 acres to the west would also have
posed several questions about on-site mitigation obligations of the development and
CDOW believes that it should not be considered as a part ofthis project. However,
CDOW brings to the attention of the County the importance of the adjacent property with
future development in mind. As properties become developed, open space, movement
corridors, and habitat concerns become increasingly important.
With respect to elk calvin!! habitat, CDOW notes that the southern half of the proposed
development lies entirely within the CDOW's WRIS Maps Defined Calving Habitat,
which is defined as critical habitat. While the Applicant's surveys have shown that this
habitat may be minimal, CDOW maintains that its WRIS mapping is accurate and a
contributing factor for the Applicant's assessment may be primarily due to over grazing
from sheep herds. This habitat could be critical in future years, especially since Phase 1
of Red Sky Ranch was pennitted in a portion of this calving area. CDOW
recommendations include:
. Remove the southern half of the 210 acres to allow for a buffer between the
development and this possible critical habitat; or
. Allow two stages of development, approving development of the northern lots while
the southern area could be studied after sheep grazing is gone to evaluate the habitat
(minimum of five years to allow for habitat restoration); or
· Remove development from the southern half and move eight to ten home sites to the
northern portion of the 210 acres with smaller lot sizes.
With respect to calvin!! and rearing habitat on west side, CDOW notes that the proposed
development of Lots 9-14 and Lot 30 have west borders to the WRIS elk calving and
rearing habitat. The large size of these seven lots could have negative effects on the
rearing of young elk. Human noise as well as exposure to humans and pets could disrupt
this vital stage in elk calving and rearing. CDOW recommendations include:
· Reduce lot size to create a buffer area between the lots and this habitat, that is, a
reduction from the northwest comer of Lot 14 to the southwest comer of Lot 30; or
. Leave lot size as proposed, but create stipulations on the back portions of these lots
such as the seasonal closures on open space, and building closures.
With respect to open space. trails. and seasonal closures, CDOT notes that trails are
proposed within the development, but their nature or location has not been specified.
Therefore, CDOW is unable to make an assessment. However, placing trails very near
critical calving and rearing habitat could be a detrimental component of this proposal.
CDOW recommendations include:
· Exclude the development of trails within and near the outlined calving and rearing
areas as specified on CDOW WTIS maps; or
· Require seasonal closures to these trails and open space as already provided in the
Wildlife Management and Enhancement for the existing Red Sky Ranch Pun (that
8/3/2004
- 40-
is, 20 November through 15 May), with closures of trails within the calving and
rearing areas extended to 30 June.
The Applicant and the Division of Wildlife have had subsequent discussions intended to
address theDivision's concerns outlined above, but Staffhas not been advised of any
agreements which may have been reached. As a condition of approval, the Preliminary
Plan should demonstrate clearly how the Applicant has responded to the concerns raised
by the Colorado Division of Wildlife in its letter dated January 15,2004, and/or any
additional concerns that may arise asa result of proposed development restrictions on the
adjacent 840 acres owned by Diamond S Ranch. [Condition # 7]
[+] Geologic Hazards (Section 4-420) - The Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) notes
that the preliminary geotechnical and geologic report provided by the Applicant indicates
that the site is located within a large, old landslide which appears to be inactive.
However, the report also indicates that conditions may exist or develop, due to natural
changes or as a result of development, which could cause renewed landslide movement.
II1 addition, the report indicates that parts of the proposed expansion area may be prone to
renewed slope instability as a result of natural increases in ground,.water levels or due to
development.
CGS further notes that, in the fall of 2002, slope-movement and ground-water monitoring
instrumentation was installed in the expansion area; however, monitoring data from the
instrumentation was not provided. The geotechnical report for the expansion area did not
model or calculate the risks due to existing slope instability or instability caused by
development. Without this information, it cannot be determined if potential geologic
hazards can be mitigated for the proposed use and density. As a condition of approval,
the PUD Preliminary Plan should include monitoring data from the slope-movement and
ground-water monitoring instrumentation installed in this area in 2002. [Condition # 8]
CGS goes on to note that the geotechnical report contains many
recommendations/restrictions on grading and where building, septic systems and other
structures should be located to avoid potential hazards. Adherence to these
recommendations is important, and building envelopes, septic system locations, and
grading restrictions which conform to the recommendations of the geotechnical report
should be developed and adopted in any development approvals. As a condition of
approval, the PUD Preliminary Plan should adequately reflect the recommendations and
restrictions presented in the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation and Engineering
Geology Study prepared by Golder Associates, Inc., and dated December 27, 2002.
[Condition # 9]
The Eagle CountY Environmental Health Department has also noted that a condition of
approval of the 1041 Permit for the existing Red Sky Ranch development was that
ground water monitoring reports were to be submitted annually to the Department of
Community Development as long as the septic systems are in use. The required reports
have not been received. As a condition of approval, ground water monitoring reports
previously required to be submitted annually to the Department of Community
Development as a condition ofthe 1041 Permit for the existing Red Sky Ranch PUD (see
Board Resolution No. 2001-011) should be submitted prior to or concurrently with the
1041 Permit application which accompanies the PUD Preliminary Plan for this Red Sky
Ranch Expansion. [Condition # 10]
[+] Wildfire Protection (Section 4A30) - The Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) has
given the development a wildfire hazard rating of high. The combination of shrub fuel
types and topography contribute to this high wildfire hazard rating. CSFS recommends
dual access which, along with maintaining a minimum defensible space buffer of at least
40 feet in diameter around all structures, will help to lower fire danger. The use of
8/312004
- 41 -
noncombustible roofing materials on all structures is also recommended as another
precautionary measure. -As a condition of approval, the PUD Preliminary Plan should
demonstrate clearly the manner in which the recommendations of the Colorado State
Forest Service, in its letter dated February 4,2004, have been considered in the design of
the development. [Condition # 11]
The Eagle County Engineering Department also notes that the proposed development has
only one access point, and that the Applicant will be required to either demonstrate how
the requirement for dual access will be met or obtain a Variance from Improvement
Standards.
[+] Wood Burning Controls (Section 4-440) - The proposed PUD Guide is silent with
respect to wood burning controls. The proposed development will be required to conform
to the applicable provisions of the Land Use Regulations.
[+] Ridgeline Protection (Section 4A50) - The application indicates that the 210 acre site
is not visible from 1-70. However, it appears that significant portions of the site is within
the "areas of possible ridgeline impacts" designated on the Ridgeline Protection Map.
The PUD Preliminary Plan application will be required to comply with the requirements
of this Section.
[+] Environmental Imoact Reoort (Section 4A60) - An adequate environmental impact
report has been provided.
[+] Commercial and Industrial Performance Standards (Division 4-5)
The provisions of this Division are not applicable.
[+] Improvement Standards (Division 4-6)
[+/-] Roadwav Standards (Section 4-620) - The Engineering Department notes that the proposed
access to the development through the Setting Sun private drive will need to be improved to meet
the Eagle County Road Standards. In addition, the proposed development plan proposes two long
cul-de-sacs which are separated by approximately 600 feet at the end of the respective cul-de-
sacs. The Engineering Department requests that the two cul-de-sacs be connected to form a
continuous looped road. If the two cul-de-sacs are not modified, the proposed cul-de-sacs are
sufficiently long that emergency vehicle turnaround areas would be required at 1,000 foot
intervals. As a condition of approval, the proposed road system should be modified to conform to
applicable requirements of Article 4, Site Development Standards, of the Land Use Regulations,
or an application for appropriate Variances from Improvement Standards, pursuant to Section 5-
260.G., Variance From Improvement Standards, of the Land Use Regulations, should be
submitted prior to or as part of the Preliminary Plan application [Condition # 5]
In addition, the development has only one access, that being Red Sky Road. A variance from
improvement standards was granted for less than two routes of entrance and exit to portions of the
existing Red Sky Ranch development. It is appropriate to further consider the expansion of the
Red Sky Ranch development within the context of the length of the proposed roads, fire hazard
rating, number of units proposed, topography and the recommendation of the Local Fire
Authority Having Jurisdiction. As a condition of approval, a variance from improvement
standards to expand the development served by less than two routes of entrance and exit should
be required prior to or as a part of the Preliminary Plan application, pursuant to Section 5-260.G.,
Variance From Improvement Standards, of the Land Use Regulations. [Condition # 6]
The Eagle County Engineering Department also notes that the Traffic Impact Study dated 15
October, 2003, which is based on a "build out year of 20 I 0, rather than 2025, is not acceptable
and should be revised. Engineering also notes that the Traffjc Impact Study is based on a 75
8/3/2004
- 42-
percent occupancy rate of the proposed development. Additional support documentation should
be provided for this occupancy rate or an occupancy rate of 100 percent should be used. As a
condition of approval, the Traffic Impact Study submitted with the Preliminary Plan should
respond to the comments of the Eagle County Engineering Department in its memo dated January
20, 2004, in a manner satisfactory to the County Engineer. [Condition # 12]
[+] Sidewalk and Trail Standards (Section 4-630) - The Applicant notes that the existing
residential area of the Red Sky Ranch PUD is served by a pedestrian trail system that provides for
several recreational walking loops of varying length. A similarly designed trail is proposed to
serve the additional homes in the expanded development. If necessary due to wildlife
considerations, use ofthe trail may be subject to seasonal restrictions. More detail on the
proposed trails will be required as part of the Preliminary Plan application.
[+] Irrigation System Standards (Section 4-640) - If irrigation water is to be made available in
this development, the provisions of this Section will be reauired to be met.
[+/_] Drainage Standards (Section 4-650) - The application indicates that runoff from the
proposed lots and roads will flow to either the Holland Creek golf course pond or the detention
pond at the intersection of Red Sky Road and Saddle Rock using historic drainage patterns to the
extent practical. The Eagle County Engineering Department notes that if the requirements of this
Section can not be met as outlined in the application, new drainage facilities will need to be
designed and constructed.
The Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) notes that the use of unlined
ditches is a preferable approach, but also recommends that vegetation be established in the
ditches to minimize erosion from concentrated flows. NWCCOG also points out that the use of
golf course ponds as detention ponds may get some noxious algae growth. This can be addressed
in several ways from aeration to chemicals, but that a contingency should be in place in the event
this occurs. As a condition of approval, the PUD Preliminary Plan should demonstrate clearly the
manner in which the concerns and recommendations of the Northwest Colorado Council of
Governments, in its letter dated January 12, 2004, have been considered in the design of the
development. [Condition # 13]
[+1_] Excavation and Grading Standards (Section 4-660) - The Applicant will be required to
conform to the provisions of this Section. Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
(NWCCOG) has pointed out that plans are needed for controlling weeds on home sites during
construction. As a condition of approval, the PUD Preliminary Plan should demonstrate clearly
the manner in which the concerns and recommendations of the Northwest Colorado Council of
Governments in its letter dated January 12, 2004, have been considered in the design of the
development. [Condition # 13]
[+] Erosion Control Standards (Section 4-665) - An Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be
required as part of the PUD Preliminary Plan.
[+] Utility and Lighting Standards (Section 4-670) - The Applicant will be reauired to conform
to the provisions of this Section.
[+] Water Supply Standards (Section 4-680) - Potable water is proposed to be provided by the
Red Sky Ranch Metropolitan District, which is intended to be expanded to incorporate
this development. The Colorado Division of Water Resources has reviewed the proposed
water source and has determined that the plan for augmentation is sufficient to augment
the projected water demands of the proposed development. Consequently, the State
Engineer has found that the proposed water supply will not cause material injury to
decreed water rights and is adequate
[+1-] Sanitary Sewage Disposal Standards (Section 4-690) - Wastewater treatment services are
proposed to be provided by individual and/or clustered sewage disposal systems, similar to the
systems currently installed at Red Sky Ranch. Additional information will be required as part of
the Preliminary Plan application.
Development and maintenance of shared septic systems will be provided by the Red Sky Ranch
Metropolitan District. In Staff conversations with Ray Merry, Director of the Eagle
8/3/2004
- 43 -
County Department of Environmental Health, it has been noted that any clustering of
proposed septic systems is not shown in the application materials. The PUD Preliminary
Plan for the initial phase of Red Sky Ranch indicated, based on site reconnaissance, the
specific location of clustered septic systems and the specific location of the dwellings to
be served by each. Similar information is necessary for this proposed development. As a
condition of approval, the PUD Preliminary Plan application should include detailed
information, based on site reconnaissance, of the specific location of individual and/or
clustered septic systems and the specific location of dwellings to be served by each.
[Condition # 3]
[+] Impact Fees and Land Dedication Standards (Division 4-7)
[+] School Land Dedication Standards (Section 4-700) - The land dedication requirement for a
30 single family lot development is 0.453 acres (30 units x 0.0151 acres/unit). The Applicant
intends to make a payment of cash in lieu of a school land dedication. The Eagle County School
District (RE50J) has indicated that a payment of cash in lieu is preferable. Pursuant to a recent
amendment to Section 4-700.C., Cash-in-Lieu of Land Dedication, an appraisal of the per-acre
value of the site will be required at the time the final plat is submitted to determine the amount of
the cash-in-lieu payment.
[+] Road Impact Fees (Section 4-710) - Payment of road impact fees will be required pursuant to
this Section at the time building permits are issued.
[+1-] FINDING: Consistent with Land Use Regulations. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (2)]
Due to potential impacts on critical wildlife habitat, it HAS NOT been demonstrated that the
proposed subdivision complies with all of the standards of this Section and all other provisions of
these Land Use Regulations, including, but not limited to, the applicable standards of Article 3,
Zone Districts, and Article 4, Site Development Standards. However, it MAY BE possible to
demonstrate consistency with the Land Use Regulations in the PUD Preliminary Plan.
STANDARD: Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (3)] - The proposed subdivision
shall be located and designed to avoid creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of
public services, or require duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a
"leapfrog" pattern of development.

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS:
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section S-240.F.2.a.(8) Initiation: Applicant shall
submit thefollowing: A Proposed PUD guide settingforth the proposed land use restrictions.
This requirement has been satisfied.
[+] FINDING: Initiation [Section 5-240.F.2.a.(8)] I
The Applicant HAS submitted a PUD Guide that demonstrates that the requirements of this
Section have been fully met.
Requirements for a Zone Chan2e. In Section 5-230.D., Standards, the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations provide that "the wisdom of amending the. . . Official Zone District Map or any other map
incorporated in these Regulations is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the Board of
County Commissioners and is not controlled by anyone factor." It has been recommended by the Eagle
County Attorney that these considerations be reviewed at PUD Sketch Plan, even though zone changes
are neither granted for a PUD at Sketch Plan nor are they "formal" findings. It is almost impossible to
avoid confronting these requirements at this stage since they are fundamental to the locational
appropriateness of the proposed land use in the first place, and must be found at Preliminary Plan. Staff,
therefore offers the following preliminary analysis, without discussion, pursuant to Eagle County Land
Use Regulations Section 5-230.D., Standards. for amendment to the Official Zone District Map:
(1) [+] Consistency with Master Plan. The proposed PUD IS consistent with the purposes,
goals, policies and FLUM of the Master Plan;
(2) [+1-] Compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed amendment IS compatible with
existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and, with the proposed
8/3/2004
- 45-
development, it IS an appropriate zone district for the land, considering its consistency
with the purpose and standards of the proposed zone district;
(3) [+1 Changed conditions. There ARE changed conditions that require an amendment to
modify the present zone district and/or its density/intensity;
(4) [+/-] Effect on natural environment. The proposed amendment WILL NOT result in
significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment [beyond those resulting from
development under current zoning], including but not limited to water, air, noise,
stormwater management, wildlife habitat, vegetation, and wetlands.
(5) [+] Community need. It HAS been demonstrated that the proposed amendment meets a
community need.
(6) [+] Development patterns. The proposed amendment WILL result in a logical and
orderly development pattern, WILL NOT constitute spot zoning, and WILL logically be
provided with necessary public facilities and services.
(7) [+] Public interest. The area to which the proposed amendment would apply HAS
changed or IS changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage a
new use or density in the area.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Housine: Guidelines. - On April 13, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No.
2004-048 adopting Housing Guidelines to establish aframeworkfor discussion and negotiation of
applicable housing criteria.
The application notes that the original approval of the Red Sky Ranch PUD included a housing plan that
included both on-site and off-site housing commitments. The Applicant indicates that it will review this housing
plan prior to preliminary plan application and, if appropriate, will propose amendments to the housing plan to
address the additional density request.
The Eagle County Housing Department reviewed the proposal and noted that the Housing Guidelines
suggest that the Applicant provide either four affordable housing units or payment of cash-in-lieu in the amount of
$219,154.08, the latter being subject to adjustment using current data available at the time the PUD Preliminary
Plan is approved.
Mr. Forinash gave a background ofthe file, which can be found in these minutes, and showed slides to the
board. He stated the Development Restricted Area shown on map is not part of the PUD. It is owned by
Diamond S Ranch. It has been referred to as 840 acres and 855 acres; the 855 acres is the most accurate
representation of the area. There has been no mechanism to guarantee the development of a conservation
easement and tie it in to a PUD. He showed a topographical map of the proposed development, the existing Red
Sky Ranch with access off of Red Sky Ranch Road, and two cul-de-sacs that would be connected. Water would
be through an expansion ofthe Red Sky Ranch Metro District. Wastewater would be handled through clustered
septic systems.
There are wildlife constraints for the proposed development, with elk calving and rearing areas outlined.
There is a difference of opinion as to whether the area is currently being used as a calving area. The
recommendations assume no conservation easement. He showed pictures of various vantage points to the
commissioners. The only outstanding issue is the status of the 855 acre of restricted development. Findings are
positive from staff and planning commissions and have conditions attached to approval. Condition 2 has been
satisfied already due to an agreement reached by the two parties. Condition 14 dealing with employee housing
should have the numbers provided disregarded by the Board of County Commissioners. Staff recommended the
revision so that the cash lieu amount be determined at the time of the final plat, rather than the amount given.
Commissioner Gallagher asked Mr. Forinash about a PowerPoint slide and a connecting road South of the
cul-de-sac.
Mr. Forinash stated that there is an existing road that is up to standard.
Chairman Stone asked for clarification about the area related to the Division of Wildlife's desire fonion-
development.
Mr. Forinash pointed it out on the map to the Chairman's satisfaction.

Rick Pylman made a presentation to the board. He gave a slide presentation, as well. This is the sketch
plan level of a PUD Amendment, the first of three steps in the approval process. He gave a background of the
development and the proposed amendment to the PUD. The original property was purchased from the Jouflas
family and they are working with Diamond S Ranch, the current owners of the additional 210 acres. He showed
the 855 acres of restricted development that will remain property of Diamond S Ranch. The 210 acres contain
clustered lots that are already impacted by development and protect other areas that have not been impacted.
Positives include: Density equates to existing zoning; Clustering of homes in non-impact areas; No impact to
Bellyache Ridge aquifer; Potentially accelerates fire department presence in neighborhood.
Mr. Pylman sat down with both owners, Diamond S Ranch and Red Sky, and came up with a sensible,
sensitive development plan. They would cluster 30 lots in 210 acres and preserve 855 acres as permanent open
space to protect the wildlife habitat, such as elk rearing and calving. The additional development would be part of
the Red Sky Ranch Water System which is drawn from the Eagle River, and not the Bellyache Ridge Aquifer.
Red Sky has tried to speed up the potential construction of a fire station. By adding density they have
increased their capital facility contribution to the Metro District. Compatible uses are emphasized by bringing
development into Red Sky Ranch, the lots are subject to: declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions,
design review regulations all of the existing wildlife mitigation agreements and they are maintaining the rural
density. They have thought "out of the box" to preserve and conserve sensitive land and make the project work
for the county and neighbors. The application meets the aspects of the Eagle County Master Plan. Sketch Plan
was submitted in October. They are in agreement with the staffs recommendations and approvals, and they have
worked with Bellyache Ridge and are in agreement. The Wildlife recommendations were addressed and it was
concluded that they would go away with approval of the Conservation Easement. The staff has written a
condition of approval to address these concerns, as well.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if Red Sky was offering land for the fire station construction.
Mr. Pylman stated the Fire District was not interested in land, but they are looking for cash for their
budget.
Commissioner Gallagher expressed concerns about water tanks and a water storage facility.
Deb Decrausaz with Vail Resorts pointed out where the existing water taI1k was, and stated that it should
serve all of the lots based on its elevation.
Chairman Stone opened up Public Comment.
Mary Ann Metternick of Bellyache Ridge spoke in favor of the proposed development. The Bellyache
HOA has signed agreements with Vail Resorts to share the water system. She felt it would be great for the
neighborhood.
Rich Ember, resident of Bellyache Ridge, and member of the Metro District Board of Directors. They
also favor it as all concerns have been resolved and they withdraw all objections to this development.
Chairman Stone then closed Public Comment
Chairman Stone expressed concern about the development not having unified ownership and control.
Mr. Pylman believed that if there were separate owners, they both needed to sign the application. He
gave a past example to the board. They have the existing Red Sky Ranch PUD and 210 acres that have been
purchased and, technically, they meet the requirements. They are not proposing the 855 acres be part ofthe PUD.
Chairman Stone then read the land use statute, "If the applicant is not the owner of the land or is a
contract purchaser of the land the applicant shall submit a letter signed by the owner consenting to the submission
of the application." He asked if the applicant had that.
Mr. Pylmanstated they have the letter.
Chairman Stone noted the conflicts of the 855 acres not being part of the PUD but wanting it be
considered as part of the PUD for mitigation purposes.
Mr. Pylman wanted the Board to consider that there will be a Conservation Easement on those 855 ~cres
when they evaluate the adequacy of the PUD.
Tom Raginetti, lawyer for Vail Resorts, then spoke on behalf of the applicant. He told the Board that the
855 acres is not part of the PUD. It is being offered as a solution to a planning problem to the 210 acres of
development affecting the PUD. He gave examples 'of off-site contingencies to approvals that the county
sometimes requires, such as building off-site housing. For this PUD to be approved, the conservation easement
must also be approved. Diamond S Ranch has signed the conservation easement and is willing to put it in escrow
or give the easement, whichever works best. \
Chairman Stone asked who the conservation easement is with and how permanent is it.
8/3/2004
- 47-
Mr. Raginetti stated that it is between Diamond S Ranch and Eagle Valley Land Trust and the form of
that easement will have to be acceptable to the county and it cannot be altered or terminated without the consent
ofthe county.
Chairman Stone asked why not donate to the Open Space Fund.
Mr. Raginetti stated that the donors want the tax benefit of a charitable donation of the conservation
easement and the county can't give it.
Commissioner Gallagher asked about a letter from the owner about committing to establishing an
easement.
Mr. Forinash stated that there is no letter from the owner of Diamond S Ranch consenting to the
application but there is one committing to creation of the easement.
Mr. Raginetti believes that I10 letter is necessary unless the land is part of the PUD.
Chairman Stone mentioned his concerns about unintended consequences for future files. He believes the
presentation is somewhat misleading about owning all of the land, when the reality is different.
Mr. Raginetti asked about the County's risk in proceeding in the applicant's intended manner. The
county's concern about form of easement is valid and can be addressed satisfactorily.
Chairman Stone expressed concern about future applicants using this as basis for their applications.
Future applicants may look for off-site solutions to problems facing them.
Mr. Raginetti spoke about off-site conditions for approval that are sometimes required, such as wetlands
establishment. He reiterated that they don't have approval unless they perform as promised.
Commissioner Gallagher asked why there is a reluctance of Diamond S.folks to be part of the application.
Mr. Raginetti stated that they didn't see a need for it and the applicants agreed.
Commissioner Gallagher asked the County Attorney about the ability to draft language of a PUD and
establishing easements. He is looking to protecting the county the way a PUD amendment does.
Ms. Mauriello stated she would work with Vail Resorts Counsel to establish the easement, give the
County some control 'over it, and would help to rectify the unified ownership question.
Commissioner Gallagher stated he would like to protect Eagle County Residents as a PUD would and
maintain tax benefits of Diamond Star Ranch, if possible.
Chairman Stone had questions about Diamond Star's ability to grant a conservation easement, from Page
115 ofthe Staff Report.
Mr. Forinash attempted to clear it up. He believes the statement on Page 115 may be referring to property
that is in the vicinity of the property that would be subject to the easement.
Mr. Raginetti agreed with Mr. Forinash's statements that it is referring to adjacent property. He again
offered potential provisions to the conservation easements to allow protection to the county. The applicant can
make the county a third party beneficiary; they can require any change or termination to the agreement not be
effective unlessluntil the Board of Commissioners gave written approval.
Commissioner Gallagher appreciated Mr. Raginetti's comments.
Chairman Stone asked that the file be talked about in a manner such that the 855 acres are not part of the
PUD, but it is taking care of the wildlife concern.
Commissioner Gallagher had a follow up question about the water and where is it coming from. He
wondered if they are they using Bellyache Ridge water?
Glen Porzak spoke of the water issue. The original agreement was be oversized lines from Eagle River
that would be augmented with Eagle .Park Reservoir water. The new agreement takes into account the Bellyache
Ridge Metro District (BRMD) and the connection point of the two. BRMD has secured its own water rights using
Eagle Park Water: Both parties have their own water rights but in a shared connection point and separately
accounted for. Bellyache will be getting water through Red Sky's facilities, rather than the other way around.
Mr. Ember ofBRMD spoke about this again. The intention is to hook up with Red Sky in the future and
use their water system.
Commissioner Menconi then spoke. He believes this an offering by the applicant to extend an amenity to
help the project. He doesn't see why it must always be tied to the PUD.
Ms. Mauriello reiterated that the only land for discussion is 210 acres and the additional acreage
conservation easement is between third parties, of which Red Sky is not. Eagle County doesn't have transfer
development right regulations and it doesn't have a ready mechanism in its regulations to account for that. It is
appropriate to attach conditions to a file, but to also make sure these conditions are tied to the file and the file
alone.
Commissioner Menconi had question about accessibility to the 855 acres for the public.
Mr. Pylman stated that there would be no public access to the land.
8/312004
- 48-
Commissioner Menconi asked if Red Sky would have access rights to the property.
Mr. Pylman stated that there would be no access rights. .
Commissioner Menconi asked about flexibility of future access to the 855 acres. Could Red Sky prohibit
public access if it is part of the PUD? Is it possible to put in the Conservation easement to allow future access to
this property?
Rick Thompson wildlife biologist representing the applicant then spoke. The reason to protect this parcel
as a conservation easement is because of the calving periods and winter range periods. The purpose ofthis
easement is to keep people out because of sensitive wild life concerns.
Commissioner Menconi asked about Diamond Star Ranch and its easements. Is the property being
developed in 35 acre parcels?
Mr. Forinashteplied that there are two easements covering 1600 acres. They don't know where the
easements exist and what restraints may exist.
Mr. Raginetti replied that Diamond Star has cut it down into various-sized tracts. Diamond Star could
very well cut it down into 35 acre parcels.
Commissioner Menconi asked what types of representations were made during the application period.
Mr. Raginetti replied that Diamond S has no PUD' s, but has a set of agreements among the owners as to
how things would be used.
Commissioner Menconi asked if the Affordable Housing requirement has been fulfilled.
Mr. Forinash said that as of now it has not been, but the developer has a schedule to comply and is
currently meeting this schedule.
Commissioner Menconi withdrew his interest in public access to the easement after hearing Rick
Thompson's statements.
Commissioner Gallagher asked counsel to begin work on a condition that would incorporate all the
discussion about the 840/855 acre parcel that would require the county to permit and approve any amendments or
revocation of the conservation easement. He would like the conservation easement to go through the Open Space
Committee and come to the Board for advice and would have same chain as a PUD amendment. He desires the
same coverage as if there was a PUD.
Ms. Mauriello discussed approving as is and put in all the items and representations made here today
rather than draft a specific condition.
Commissioner Gallagher wanted the applicant to be fully aware of what is going on here today.
Chairman Stone addressed the specifics of Condition 1 and stated it for the record. He suggested that if
not part ofPUD, that it address the following conditions: County be party to Conservation easement or have
some kind of notification requirement that changes would have to go through regular channels.
Commissioner Menconi asked the benefit of having it reviewed by the Open Space Committee.
Commissioner Gallagher stated that they are the County's advisor to these matters of Open space and
Conservation.
Commissioner Menconi believes they are advisors for Open Space purchases of the Open Space Tax
Fund.
Commissioner Gallagher stated that is one of their duties, but they also have a role here as advisors.
Ms. Mauriello asked if the goal was to establish a proper review mechanism for modification to the
conservation easement.
Commissioner Gallagher spoke of his desires to have a proper review mechanism to start with. He is
speaking of both amendments to the conservation easement and the original conservation easement and the county
should be party to both.
Ms. Mauriello spoke of her concerns about sending stuffto the Open Space Committee when they have
no formal parameters to review a conservation easement in this context.
Commissioner Gallagher asked the applicant about compensation to the Diamond S folks for their role in
the PUD and the compensation easement.
Mr. Pylman replied that there is some compensation from Red Sky planned to Diamond S
Commissioner Menconi asked about Condition 2 and its satisfaction.
Mr. Pylman replied that it has been satisfied.
Chairman Stone started going over thefmdings that are part of the staff report. He explained them and
stated that they were positive or +/-.
Finding #1 talks about unified ownership of210 acres and was positive.
Finding #2 deals with uses and was positive.
Finding #3 speaks of dimensional limitations and had +/- findings.
8/312004
- 49-
Joe Forinash replied this has to deal with the minimum lot size of 35 acres for resource zone district as
opposed to what might ultimately result. This is also where the 855 acres discussion fits in.
Finding #4 about off-street parking and loading was positive.
Finding #5 about Landscaping was positive, as was finding #6 about signs.
Finding #7 about adequate facilities was +1-.
Mr. Forinash mentioned that the -portion of the +/- fmdings are designed to raise awareness to a
condition that could erase the -, if the applicant agrees to the changes. Most of the mixed conformance reviews
are subject to wildlife concerns. Common recreation will probably be a positive finding when taken in total
context of the development.
Improvements was a +/- finding that has to do with roads, but has been addressed.
The compatibility with the Master Plan, Open Space Plan, and Wolcott Area Community Plan has +1- that
has to deal with the 855 acres and wildlife concerns.
The phasing standard is positive as is the common open and recreation space.
The natural resource protection fmding was +1-. Mr. Forinash stated it had to do with the wildlife
concerns and partly with the Colorado Geological Survey raising questions that can be addressed with conditions.
All other findings were either positive or would be met through conditions imposed.
ChaiqnaTI Stone wanted further clarification of the loan for the ftre station.
Jim Thompson of Vail Resorts said they offered $500,000 loan to construct a ftre station. The teI1nS have
not been worked out, but it is not a source of contention. This loan is because the fire protection district is in need
of cash in order to build the station.
Commissioner Gallagher had a question about the Colorado Geological survey concerns.
Mr. Forinash indicated that the survey did not raise very serious concerns, but just wanted to raise the
level of awareness of the applicant.
Mr. Pylman stated the appropriate geological survey has been done for this level of approval.
Chairman Stone asked the record to reflect that his acceptance of the conservation easement with the
proper safeguards is largely based on the adjacency ofthe conservation easement and it not being far away, like
with wetlands.
Ms. Mauriello spoke of the changes made to Condition I. It now reads:
The Preliminary Plan shall clearly demonstrate the manner in which the 855 acres which are a part of the
Diamond S Ranch shall be part ofthe Pun or other legal form which satisfies the Land Use Regulations and is
acceptable to the County Attorney and the Applicant. If the manner is a legal form other than making the 855
acres part ofthe pun, then such form shall include, at a minimum:
That the form must be reviewed and approved by the County as part of the Preliminary Plan process; and
