None
Approval
Nancy Hassett and Mike Campbell of the Savory Inn were present for the hearing.
Commissioner Gallagher asked about the conditions and provisions that were agreed to during the special
use permit hearing. He wondered about compliance related to these agreed to conditions. There were seven items
that were agreed to, and only one had been taken care of. He asked about the timeline for completion.
Mr. Campbell stated that on the original plans two of the spaces required the removal of two aspen trees.
He asked to be able to use a different area.
Commissioner Gallagher stated that it isn't the Board's function to approve changes, but he asked about
the completion date.
Ms. Hassett stated that they had complied with the requirement to have 21 parking spaces, but they had
adjusted them from the original plan. The County has seen the changes made.
Mr. Campbell stated the signs, curb stops and concrete trash dumpster pad situation would be completed
within one month, by October 1st. He wondered if an engineer could come out to assess the two swales and
detenpine their relevancy to the last two conditions.
Commissioner Gallagher suggested that the applicant contact the community development department.
He expressed concern that the applicant had not complied with their commitments. He clarified that a timely
response is what he desires. Based on prior public input and a full year to pass without compliance with the
conditions leaves him discouraged. He related an episode that had been reported to the county and asked for
response.
Ms. Hassett stated that she had a benefit for the Salvation Army, which was a two hour event, and she
informed all of her neighbors and no one had a problem with it. She donated the food, and everyone left by 7:00
pm. This was the only event that she is aware of that could have generated a call of complaint. She had trouble
getting someone to fix the potholes in the road due to the small scope ofthe job. Finally, she had a friend from
Shaw Construction fix them.
Commissioner Gallagher thanked Ms. Hassett for the benefit for the Salvation Army.
Chairman Stone encouraged the applicants to fully comply with the Special Use Permit quickly because
of the contentious nature of the initial approval hearing. He informed them that they could lose the approval if
they failed to comply with the conditions.
Commissioner Menconi moved to approve the renewal of the hotel and restaurant liquor license for the
Savory Inn and Cooking School.
Commissioner Gallagher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Gallagher moved to adjourn as the Local Liquor Licensing Authority and reconvene as the

STAFF REPORT
REFERRAL RESPONSES:
Eagle County Building Division, email-memo dated August 10,2004:
(This memo reflects that of the Basalt and Rural Fire District)
. The applicant will have to comply with NFPA standard 1142 with regard to water supply for
Suburban and Rural Fire Fighting.
. The applicant will have to supply water in the form of a tank, pond or other source of water for fire
suppression in relation to size of structure they have built or that will be built and get approvals from
Eagle County and Basalt Fire District before proceeding.
Basalt and Rural Fire District, email-memo dated August 9,2004:
. I have not received a call back to my queries from the applicant at this time. The following are my
comments based on information available to me at this point.
. Access:
. Access is compliant to the International Fire Code as adopted by Eagle County. The defined
apparatus road is greater than 20 feet of width and a responding fire engine is able to reach all
points of the building within 150 feet with the preconnect attack lines off of the fire engine.
. Water Supply:
. The closest hydrant to the home site is more than 1100 feet away. Eagle County requires through
its code adoption that any home further than 600 feet from a hydrant shall have fire suppression
water supply evaluated through the NFPA Standard 1142, Water Supplies for Suburban... Fire
Fighting. (International Fire Code Article 508.5.1, Excepti<?n I and AppendixBI03.3)
. Because of long distance from the hydrant to the home site and lack of data regarding flow and
pressure capability of this appurtenance, the present situation does not appear to comply with the
performance objectives of this standard. I have been informed that Red Table subdivision has
planned improvement to the water system that will commence as early as September of this year.
I recommend that the applicant make contact with the Homeowner's Association and the design
engineer for the water system improvements to see if he will benefit from this construction. If not,
than the applicant will need to comply with other options of design as stipulated within Standard
1142.
. I will be glad to assist the applicant with help understanding the application of the Fire code toward
this particular plan review. If I can be of further assistance please feel free to give me a call
Red Table Acres BOA, memo dated July 28, 2004:
. The Red table HOA Board has reviewed this application for an ADD and we have no objections to it
provided all Eagle County Requirements are met and that they stay in compliance with our
Homeowner "Covenants.
En.vitoIDnental Health Department, memo dated July 12, 2004:
. Research on this property shows that in September of 2002, a septic system designed for five (5)
bedrooms was constructed at this property, (IS-2004-00) for the repair of the failed existing system.
. The site is very constrained, as there is an irrigation ditch running through it. The system installed
was as large as the site would allow.
. A search of the Assessor's Data Base revealed seven (7) bedrooms in 2 dwelling units already.
. This office verified the number of bedrooms in the house as five (5) at the time of construction, per
John PIano of the Building Division. It's seems that we were misrepresented as to the correct number
of bedrooms, or more were added after the fact.
. This site and septic system cannot support more than five bedrooms.

Fire protection currently serves this area of Eagle County; however, with the nearest fire hydrant to 1100
feet away, and no other means of fire suppression, both the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District and
the Eagle County Building Division do not support this application. Fortunately, the Red Table Acres
HOA is upgrading their water system in the near future. The applicant is inquiring about the likelihood of
installing a hydrant closer to the residences. In discussing this situation with the fire district, if a hydrant
is installed within 5-600 feet (assuming there is adequate pressure), they would then support this
application. As such, Staff is conditioning this application allowing the opportunity for the applicant to
explore options to remedy this situation, as a Special Use Permit may exist for up to three (3) years,
without implementation, before it expires.
[+/_] FINDING: AS CONDITIONED Impact on Public Facilities. The proposed Special Use IS

Ms. Skinher-Markowitz gave a background and chronology of the file. The permit is necessary in order to
install a stove. The subdivision is currently a legal non-conforming subdivision near El Jebel. The majority of
the findings were positive in the staff report. The one Concern about the availability of water for ftre fighting
purposes had been alleviated due to the installation of a neW ftre hydrant across the street.
Peter Scott, the applicant, was present for the board's questions. He concurred with Ms. Skinner-Markowitz's
report.
Chairman Stone opened and closed Public Comment, as there was none.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if there was anything the planning commission could do to bring the
subdivision into compliance into the current zoning standards of the county, since it was the county that made in
non-conforming in the ftrst place.
Ms. Skinner-Markowitz stated she would confer with her colleagues about this possibility.
Chairman Stone went over the staff report and findings and stated that they were positive. He also referenced
a letter from the Red Table Acres Homeowners' Association that gave no objections to this application.

2. Applicant shall apply for and receive any necessary building permits prior to the installation of the stove.
3. There may only be a combined total of five (5) bedrooms permitted for the main residence and Accessory

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
SUMMARY:
The applicant desires to utilize an attached, 540 square foot' garage' as an Accessory Dwelling Unit. Recently,
the applicant received all necessary Building, Environmental Health and Planning approvals (including the
Certificate of Occupancy) to convert the garage into habitable space; however, a Special Use Permit must be
obtained in order to permit the installation of a stove- the key element in the characterization of an Accessory
Dwelling Unit, which is the ultimate goal for this portion of the residence.
The Schultz property is located in the Red Table Acres Subdivision on Missouri Heights. The majority of these
lots are legal, non-conforming lots zoned Rural Residential. Red Table Acres was platted immediately prior to
the adoption of zoning. As such, zoning was placed on the subdivision by Eagle County.
Normally permitted with Limited Review approval in the RR zone district, Accessory Dwelling Units on non-
conforming lots require a Special Use Permit.
CHRONOLOGY:
1977 - House was constructed.
2004- Owner receives a Certificate of Occupancy for the remodeled garage (see BP-15732).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Town of Eagle is working in cooperation with Kummer Development
Corporation to acquire a five (5) acre parcel for purposes of constructing, operating and maintaining a
water pre-treatment facility. The five (5) acres of land is located directly south and adjacent to the existing
water treatment plant on unplatted land, currently part of the Adam's Rib Frost Creek and Salt Creek
PUD. The creation ofthis parcel was contemplated throughout the PUD process for Adam's Rib.
This Exemption will also create a 0.796 acre parcel (known as the Brush Creek Road ROW Parcel) which
is to be dedicated to Eagle County via this Subdivision Exemption.
The Adam's Rib Frost and Salt Creek development has not yet been fmal platted. The Town requires
ownership of the subject property in a timely manner in order to meet State mandates to complete Town
water system improvements by next spring.
The Subdivision Exemption process allows entities with the powers of condemnation to create parcels
without having to exercise their powers of condemnation or undergoing full Subdivision review.

Total Area: 5.00 acres (the Brush Creek Rd ROW Parcel is 0.763 acres)
STAFF FINDINGS: This subdivision may occur Pursuant to Section 5-270 Subdivision ExelDDtion,
specifically, Section 5-270.A.1.a Condemnation, of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations.
The Board of County Commissioners shall approve or disapprove the Exemption for Subdivision based
on whether: the division is within the purposes of Section 5-280, Subdivision; adequate access, potable
water, and sewage are available; and whether the exemption will not create hazards and the parcel will
contain a safe, adequate building site.
The subject property does have adequate access. It is not anticipated that this Subdivision Exemption will
create any hazards and the resulting parcel will contain a safe, adequate building site.
This application is companion to file no. ZV -00029 which is to allow a variance to the structural setback
requirements of the Adam's Frost Creek and Salt Creek PUD. All development on the subject property
will be constructed outside the 100 floodplain of Brush Creek.
Also companion to this application is file no. 1041-0056, the purpose of which is to construct an
expanded water pre-treatment system as mandated by the State.
Ms. Skinner Markowitz presented this file with background information. The property is located adjacent
to the existing water treatment facility and is not platted. Two parcels are being created, and the secondary parcel,
the Brush Creek right of way parcel, will be dedicated to Eagle County. The exemption process will allow
entities with powers of condemnation to create parcels without having to exercise said powers. She showed slides
on the computer to the Board and gave a background per the staff report. The water treatment facility is located in
the northwest portion of the parcel. The Brush Creek Road right of way is higher up than the water facility is and
cuts through the property. Staff finds all findings positive and recommends approval with conditions, though
these conditions are not usually associated with a plat file. At this time, the mylar is not signed but the town
wishes to go forward while signatures are being gathered.
Willy Powell, Dusty Walls, and Bill Gray of the Town of Eagle were present for the presentation.
Mr. Powell agreed with Ms. Skinner-Markowitz's presentation and offered to answer any questions.
Chairman Stone opened and closed public comment as there was none.
