November 11, 2001
1265 Berry Creek Road in Edwards
Matt Jones, General Manager/Partner LLC
DESCRIPTION:
This is a request for the renewal of a Hotel & Restaurant Liquor License. Staff has received complaints from area
residents which were included in your packet. The complaints involve noise levels emitting from the restaurant
when there are live bands or DJ's for both public and private events. Per a letter from Lauren Binker, Code
Enforcement Officer for the County's Environmental Health Department, the noise levels from Balata Restaurant
are subject to the Commercial and Industrial Performance Standards of Eagle County Land Use Regulations,
Section 4-520, Noise and Vibration Standards, which states, "Every use shall be operated such that the noise level
roduced does not inherently and recurrently exceed sixty (60) decibels, during the hours of7:00 A.M. to 7:00
.M., or fifty-five (55) decibels from 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M."
17
3/14/06
CONCERNS / ISSUES:
.taff is concerned with the complaints, however there have been no recent reports of incidents by the Sheriff's
Office nor have any citations been issued from Environmental Health.
STAFF FINDINGS:
~ The application is in order. The following applies to a renewal hearing: C.R.S. 12-47-302 provides that
the local license authority may conduct a hearing after proper notice to determine if an application for
renewal should be granted. The legislature has given this Board wide discretion to make such a
determination based on the facts and circumstances of each particular case. This Board may reject a
renewal application for "good cause" which is defined as:
a. Licensee's violation or failure to comply with the rules and regulations set forth in the Colorado
Liquor Code;
b. Licensee's failure to comply with special terms or conditions that were placed on it in prior
disciplinary proceedings or that arose in the context of potential disciplinary proceedings; and
c. Evidence that the licensed premises have been operated in a manner that adversely affects the
public health, welfare or safety of the immediate neighborhood in which the establishment is
located, which evidence must include a continuing patter of fights, violent activity or disorderly
conduct.
~ Pursuant to Regulation 47-900, Conduct of Establishment, the licensee shall not permit rowdiness, undue
noise, or other disturbances or activity offensive to the senses of the average citizen, or to the residents of
the neighborhood in which the licensed establishment is located.
~ Public notice was given by the posting of a sign in a conspicuous place on the premises on March 2, 2006,
11 days prior to the hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
This is a renewal and the Board may approve the renewal of the license, deny the renewal of the license or accept a
stipulation from the applicant. Staff recommends approval of the license. However, the applicant should
acknowledge the necessity to comply with applicable Commercial and Industrial Performance Standards of Eagle
County Land Use Regulations and should provide Eagle County Code Enforcement with a schedule of upcoming
events for compliance monitoring. Any future noise violations may be dealt with through code enforcement actions
or show cause hearings.
DISCUSSION:
Mathew Jones, General Manager of Balata Restaurant spoke. Mr. Jones presented a noise mitigation plan
to the Board. He stated that Balata Restaurant will adhere to and not exceed maximum permissible noise levels of
60 decibels during the hours of 7 am to 7 pm, and/or 55 decibels during the hours of 7 pm to 7 am. The noise levels
will be measured at any point along any boundary line of the property on which the use is located. Balata
management will monitor noise levels during events with a standard decibel meter. The cell phone number of the
manager on duty will be placed on the outgoing message of the direct restaurant line. Balata will submit an event
calendar to the Code Enforcement Office of the Eagle County Environmental Health Department. A letter from the
Singletree Property Owners Association was submitted in support of their noise mitigation plan and renewal of the
liquor license.
Chairman Runyon opened public comment.

3/14/06
Chris Neuswanger spoke. Mr. Neuswanger lives approximately 220 feet from Balata Restaurant. He stated
that the mitigation noise plan was somewhat acceptable. He wondered about the reasonable area to measure the
noise levels. He suggested that the guest policy be changed to only allow for music inside after 10 pm if the doors
nd windows are all closed. He believes that the plan is a vast improvement from what's been done in past years.
Johannes Faessler, Sonnenalp Golf Club owner spoke. He believes that the enforcement of measurement
IS unrealistic because a car driving by will spike a measurement device into the 70' s. A reasonable point would to
measure would be from the location of the complaint. He believes that having the doors and windows closed is
irrelevant.
Bryan Treu, County Attorney spoke. He stated that the standards are meant to protect adjoining neighbors
and should be measured from the closest neighbor or the closest complaining neighbor as determined appropriate
by Eagle County, in this case being Mr. Neuswanger.
Commissioner Menconi stated that he doesn't believe it's fair to measure noise levels from someone's
home that is not complaining about noise.
Mr. Neuswanger stated that after 10 pm, 55 decibels is going to be noticeable. He doesn't believe it's
unreasonable to ask them to close the windows and doors.
Commissioner Menconi asked if there weren't other governing bodies that take care of those issues.
Mr. Treu stated that code enforcement would deal with the regulations related to the land use regulations.
Mr. Neuswanger stated that the Singletree Homeowners Association has no enforcement ability for the
clubhouse.
Mr. Treu stated that the Board is dealing with a liquor license renewal and there are only three options,
renewal, denial and renewal with conditions, only if the conditions are set forth by the applicant.
Commissioner Stone thanked Mr. Faessler for his time and effort towards being a good neighbor.
Commissioner Stone moved that the Board approve the Liquor License Renewal for the Grille at
Singletree, LLC dba Balata based upon representation.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Menconi moved to adjourn as the Eagle County Liquor Licensing Authority and re-convene
s the Eagle County Air Terminal Corporation.
Commissioner Stone seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.

PDP-00018 Colorado River Ranch
Joe Forinash, Community Development
ACTION:
Extension of approval of PUD Preliminary Plan
LOCATION:
On the Colorado River, approximately 10.5 miles north of Dotsero; located in portions of
Sections 13, 14, 15,22,23,24,26 and 27 of Township 3 South, Range 86 West
DESCRIPTION:
The Colorado River Ranch PUD Preliminary Plan and Zone Change were approved on 13 March 2001. The site
consists of 1,045 acres located approximately 10.5 miles northeast of Dotsero, along and on either side of the
Colorado River. Willow Creek flows through the property and into the Colorado River. In addition to the Colorado
River, the property is bisected by Union Pacific railroad tracks and Colorado River Road. The approved
development includes:
)0> A club facility that would consist of:
)0> 18 hole golf course;
)0> Clubhouse facility with a pro shop, cart storage, restaurant and 16 overnight rooms;
)0> 25 small ranch homesteads, most with building envelopes of 1::!: acres, and a few with building envelopes of
6:!: acres, the latter allowing for horses;
)0> A Children's pavilion;
)0> Maintenance facility with an employee dorm;
)0> Pool(s), tennis court(s), sporting clays, etc.; and
)0> Related facilities including comfort stations, range building, pump-houses.
)0> A fire station with two bays and an employee unit housing up to 4 employees.
)0> Agricultural uses (a ranch operation) and open space, covering approximately 872 acres.
Access would be via three access points on Colorado River Road. The main access to the site would include a
separated grade crossing over the railroad tracks. Water, both potable and non-potable, would be from new and/or
existing wells and surface water diversions. Wastewater treatment would be by individual septic systems. A
vicinity map and approved site plan are attached.
BACKGROUND:
The Preliminary Plan and zone change for the Colorado River Ranch PUD was initially approved on 13 March
2001. The Land Use Regulations provide that a single-phase PUD Preliminary Plan is valid for five (5) years from
the date of approval, in this case, until 13 March 2006. However, upon written request, extension of the approval of
a Preliminary Plan may be granted by the Board of County Commissioners for no more than two (2) years if it is
demonstrated by competent substantial evidence that certain standards are met (see below).
In August 2003, the property was conveyed to the S. Diane Graham Trust. Diane Graham is trustee. A sufficient
written request for extension of a PUD Preliminary Plan has been received from the new owner.
INDINGS:
21
3/14/06
Staff has determined that the following required findings may reasonably be made by the Board:
I. Failure to complete development of the PUD was beyond the applicant's control.
In the attached letter from the Applicant's attorney, the Applicant cites certain reasons why the PUD
has not been developed, including insufficient time to complete the necessary planning work,
difficulties obtaining adequate financing, and less than favorable market conditions.
2. The Preliminary Plan for pun is not speculative in nature.
The Applicant's attorney cites the Applicant's intent to develop the property.
3. The Preliminary Plan for pun still complies with the Land Use Regulations and the
Comprehensive Plan.
Land Use Regulations - The PUD Preliminary Plan continues generally to conform to the Land Use Regulations
(LUR), even though there have been certain amendments to the LUR since the Preliminary Plan was approved.
Some of the more pertinent amendments include road impact fees and the method of determining the amount of the
cash in lieu of school land dedication. These and other amended provisions of the Land Use Regulations can be
addressed in connection with the final plat for the PUD.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the Preliminary Plan with respect to provisions of Section 3-350.,
Floodplain Overlay Zone District, which was added to the Land Use Regulations in 2005. Engineering has
determined that the general objectives of the floodplain regulations have been met.
Comvrehensive Plan - The PUD Preliminary Plan was reviewed and approved within the context of the Eagle
County Master Plan adopted in 1996. A new Comprehensive Plan was adopted in December 2005, effective 18
Inuary 2006. The Future Land Use Map was not changed significantly with respect to this area when the new
--'omprehensive Plan was adopted. The site was and continues to be in an area designated as "Rural". Normally,
residential densities on Rural Lands are limited to one primary residence and one accessory dwelling unit per 35
acres. However, the Comprehensive Plan continues to note that small recreation areas scattered throughout the
County's Rural Lands designation (such as State Bridge, Anderson Camp, Rancho Del Rio and Piney Lake
recreation areas) are consistent with, and in many ways define, the County's recreational and rural character. The
Comprehensive Plan also states that "expansion of these areas and the establishment of new small recreation areas
of this type should be considered on a case-by-case basis, considering the suitability of the land, whether necessary
services can be provided and whether the expansion or new development is in character with the surrounding rural
lands". This provision was part of the basis for initially finding in 2000 that Colorado River Ranch was consistent
with the Master Plan.
The recently adopted Comprehensive Plan includes a more detailed set of policies and strategies than were included
in the earlier Master Plan. A matrix representing an analysis of the conformance of the Colorado River Ranch PUD
Preliminary Plan is attached. Staff finds that the Preliminary Plan generally conforms to the 2005 Comprehensive
Plan.
The Housing Guidelines had not been adopted at the time this Preliminary Plan was approved. However, the
Preliminary Plan includes employee housing to be located in [a] a maintenance facility (accommodating 10+
employees), [b] the single family dwelling for the ranch operator (existing on-site), [c] a single family dwelling for
the General Manager, [d] a single family dwelling with attached studio for the golf course superintendent and the
assistant (respectively), and [e] the fire station (shell only) and housing unit accommodating 4 employees.
4. There is a reasonable likelihood the pun will be developed in the next two (2) years.
he Applicant's attorney notes that the time appears to be appropriate to proceed with the development and that
22
3/14/06
there is a high probability that the PUD will be developed within the next two years.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Forinash presented a PowerPoint presentation. His presentation included a vicinity map, various
rhotos, property background, and a wildlife mitigation plan. The applicant is requesting an extension of the
approval of the PUD Preliminary Plan for two years until March 13,2008. There is a reasonable likelihood that the
PUD will be developed in the next two (2) years. The preliminary plan would include an 18 hole golf course,
clubhouse with pro shop, 25 small ranch homesteads, children's facility, maintenance facility and pools, tennis
courts and other related facilities. Access would be via three access points on Colorado River Road. Wastewater
treatment would be by individual septic systems. The golf course will be situated on either side of the railroad.
The applicant has been the current owner since 2003. Staff has some concern with location due to development in
areas designated "Rural Lands". The presentation indicated that the site is in the middle of mule deer and elk
severe winter ranges. The site is also bald eagle winter forage. Moose have also been seen on the property. The
wildlife mitigation & Enhancement Plan would require setbacks, some clustering of home sites, avoidance of
riparian areas, and maintenance of certain elk habitats, etc. Mr. Forinash indicated that staff findings were positive
and staff recommended approval.
Gregory Stutz, Attorney representing the applicant spoke. Mr. Stutz stated that he had been authorized to
file the request for extension on behalf of the current owner ofthe property, S. Diane Graham. He indicated that
the failure to complete development of the PUD was beyond Ms. Graham's control. He stated that Ms. Graham has
owned the property since August 22, 2003 and has not had sufficient time to work with a development team to
complete the planning work necessary for a quality project. There have also been difficulties with obtaining
adequate financing for the project. The preliminary plan for PUD is not speculative in nature because the intention
is to develop the project. The preliminary plan for POO continues to comply with both the County's Land Use
Regulations and Master Plan.
Commissioner Runyon opened public comment. There was none.
Chairman Runyon asked about how the PUD related. He asked if the property was currently on the market.
Mr. Stutz stated that his client is looking for partners and the property is currently on the market.
Chairman Runyon stated that when the applicant purchased the property she knew what she was
committing to.
Mr. Stutz stated that she should have realized her commitment but may not have been able to put together a
plan without the financing. The applicant would ultimately like to develop the property. There have been financial
issues. There is more work being done at this time and the applicant would like to proceed.
Commissioner Stone stated that the applicant has failed in all four of the required findings. He was
concerned two years ago when the first approval was given. He doesn't want to give approval to developments on
a to-be-continued basis. He believes the PUD is speculative in nature. He doesn't believe the application complies.
He would feel differently if there where some evidence that the applicant were further along in the process. He
asked what work had been done to the property in the last two years.
Mr. Stutz stated that there had been a lot done, all is not visible. He suggested that if the file where tabled,
he could provide more names and evidence of work that had been performed over the last two years. The owner's
desire is to have a more substantial offer to present to proposed partners.
Commissioner Menconi asked it the property was a 1031 exchange.
Mr. Mathews stated that the applicant would have to meet all four requirements.
Commissioner Menconi stated that he doesn't believe the property was purchased to develop. He stated that
they don't comply with the major economic drivers section of the comprehensive master plan nor due they comply
with the job to housing balance section. Two years ago the applicant showed every indication that they would be
moving forward with the project. He recommended the file be denied.
Chairman Runyon stated that the new comprehensive plan shows some inconsistencies. The applicant
could reapply at a later date, but right now it's highly suspect that the development can be done in two years.
Commissioner Stone wondered what would happen if an extension were denied.
Mr. Mathews stated that the plan would become null and void, not extinguished. A separate process to
xtinguish a preliminary plan for PUD would be required. There are notice requirements, a hearing would be
23
3/14/06
scheduled and a hearing officer would then present their recommendation to the Board.
Commissioner Stone wondered what would happen if the Board chose not to take those additional steps.
Mr. Mathews stated that he wouldn't recommend this because it could create zoning violations in the
''uture.
Commissioner Stone moved to deny the request for extension of the preliminary plan approval of File No.

RFVRPC RECOMMENDATION: Approval with the following condition:
Preliminary phase-in period to be extended to 120 days.
PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Comments from ECPC hearing December 71\ 2005:
. More points should be given for SIP panel construction
. Concerns that the proposed code would add costs to the average home owner
. Should focus on commercial rather than residential
. Code is prohibitive to the average owner-builder
. Points should not be given to toilets/fixtures that are already meeting code
. Points for compact fluorescent light bulbs shouldn't be given because the lights will be switched out
. Points for buildings in 2-foot increments still create interior spaces in dimensions different than 2-foot
increments and create waste therein
. A 5000 square foot line may be unfair the way it's proposed
ECPC voted in denial of LUR-00058 on January 4, 2006, with the following comments:
. Liked changes staff hade made, but concerns about additional layer of governance which might delay
building permit review windows
24
3/14/06
. A I-year, 2-year, or 3-year phase-in period would help educate the building community
. The proposed code would be prohibitive for the first-time owner builder to understand and implement
. Market forces may change making efficient building happen on its own
oaring Fork Valley Regional Planning Commission comments December 8, 2005:
. Concerns for viable use of some materials in high fire hazard areas.
. Additional language/points for water efficient landscape design, possibly including erosion control, potable
water required for drip irrigation systems, points for drought-tolerant turf,
. Need to be careful about water conservation in that if we don't use it we lose it.
. Deciduous trees that shade south and west sides of homes were suggested.
. Suggested simple starting point of promoting decent soil practices that eliminate run off and a well-
managed irrigation system with auto controls and rain sensors would save a lot of water.
. Education will be necessary and key element of program. Suggest that staff develop (an) informational
booklet(s) and other educational resources/events to continue to assist builderslhomebuyers.
. Exterior lighting should be changed to allow for more than just solar LED lights. High-efficiency low
wattage lamps should be allowed.
. Thought that cash-in-lieu of not meeting points should be in $3 to $4 per square foot range ifECG wasn't
going to just increase building permit fees across the board to pay for staff/incentives.
RFVRPC voted to recommend approval at the February 2, 2006 hearing with the following condition:
1. Preliminary phase-in period to be extended to 120 days.
Staff concurs with comments from RFVRPC and has made efforts to include much of comments into revised
draft.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
SUMMARY: This application proposes to amend the Eagle County Building Resolution in the following manner:
The intent of the EcoBuild program is to encourage cost-effective sustainable building methods to create
durable, energy efficient structures that conserve natural resources, promote the efficient use of building
materials, and improve indoor air quality.
EcoBuild would apply to all new residential R3 (single family-duplex) construction per the currently
adopted building code, as well as additions/reconstruction over 50% of the existing floor area, and exterior
energy uses such as snowmelt, spas, and pools over sizes listed in Section 8.0. The completed EcoBuild
checklist must be submitted along with the subject building permit application. Mobile Home units that are
approved by Colorado Department of Housing are exempt.
Proposed draft change summary since December 7:
1. Sliding scale for required points based on square footage, see draft guidelines
2. REMP fee cash in lieu option available for all square footages at $4 per square foot

proposed.
b. Precise wording of the proposed changes HAS been provided (please see attached).
4. Pursuant to Chapter 2, Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-230.D., Standards for the
review of Amendments to the Text ofthe Land Use Regulations, as applicable:
STANDARD: Consistency with Master Plan. [Section 5-230.D.1.] Whether and the extent to which the
proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, policies and FLUM (Future Land Use Map) of
the Master Plan.
While findings for the 1996 Master Plan are technically still applicable and are included below, specific findings as
it applies to the newly-adopted Comprehensive Plan are included as well:
Section 3.9.6 Environmental Quality
a. Lighting plans that reduce nuisance glare and protect the quality of the night sky should be encouraged.
For residential uses, promote the use of shielded down lighting that does not glare on neighboring properties.
Utilize motion detectors to minimize the duration of security lighting.
Enforce lighting standards that minimize fugitive light and protect the quality of the night sky.
The proposed draft encourages minimized exterior lighting plans, using low-voltage systems, solar LED systems, and
lights that are down-facing and at least partially shielded. The draft also encourages motion detector switches for
lighting.
d. Energy efficiency and the reduction of overall energy consumption should be a primary goal for future operations
and developments in Eagle County.
Promote transit-oriented development, and encourage plans that minimize reliance on personal motorized vehicles.
Design communities in a way that reduces fossil fuel consumption for heating or cooling.
Prioritize renewable energy as an optimal energy source.
Implement energy efficiency guidelines that promote:
· multi-use buildings which share energy needs;
· landscaping which buffers buildings from wind and sun and reduces heating and cooling needs;
. streets and buildings that are oriented to maximize solar gain in the winter and minimize solar heating in the
summer;
· energy efficient buildings.
· Green Building techniques
Implement the following energy saving activities:
· the use of local or recycled construction materials
· the installation of energy and water efficient appliances.
· maximum insulation in all buildings.
· minimum air infiltration in all buildings.
Examine the feasibility of renewable energy generation in Eagle County.
Encourage the development of other alternative energy supply options including, but not limited to, wind, solar,
micro-hydro, biomass, and geothermal.
Support efforts by local energy providers to offer home and business energy audits
Develop and implement education programs directed at residents, second homeowners and visitors to encourage
energy conservation.
_ he draft code encourages each of the items listed above specifically through points offered in each of the different
27

I
~- -- - - ~- - ~- - - - -- - --
I sections of the document. See attached draft regulation amendment.
I This amendment is consistent with the following Guiding Policies in the 1996 Eagle County Master Plan:
I 'uiding Policy A.5: Maintain and improve air quality
The proposed amendments support pollution reduction from energy generation to support
I residential structures.
Guiding Policy A.6: Encourage energy efficient development
I The primary intent of this proposed amendment is to encourage energy efficient development in
Eagle County.
I Guiding Policy F.2: Work to improve upon and expand recycling services within Eagle County.
The language in the Master Plan under this policy reads "The County should also encourage
businesses throughout Eagle County to use recycled products." The proposed amendment
I encourages recycling and use of recycled products in the construction of new residences.
I
I [+] FINDING: Consistent with Master Plan. [Section 5-230.D.1.] The proposed regulation
amendment is in conformance with the Master/Comprehensive Plan
I STANDARD: Compatible with surrounding uses. [Section 5-230.D.2.] Whether and the extent to which the
I proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and is the
appropriate zone district for the land, considering its consistency with the purpose and standards of the proposed
! zone district.
I The issue of compatibility does not pertain to this proposal.
! T ANDARD: Changed conditions. [Section 5-230.D.3.] Whether and the extent to which there are changed
conditions that require an amendment to modifY the use or density/intensity.
I
I
Conditions have changed such that the proposed amendments are necessitated.
I
I I [+] FINDING: Changed conditions. [Section 5-230.D.3.] B There ARE changed conditions that
require an amendment to modify the use or density/intensity.
I
STANDARD: Effect on natural environment. [Section 5-230.D.4.] Whether and the extent to which the
I proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including but not
limited to water, air, noise, stormwater management, wildlife habitat, vegetation, and wetlands.
I Adverse impacts to the environment are not an expected outcome of this proposed amendment. This
I amendment is expected to have positive impacts on water quality and quantity and air pollution.
I STANDARD: Community need. [Section 5-230.D.5.] Whether and the extent to which the proposed amendment
addresses a demonstrated community need.
I
I
The proposed amendment addresses the following community needs:
I >- Affordable housing: Low-income or affordable housing becomes less affordable if poor energy
I efficiency plagues occupants with high monthly utility bills. An example of this is at Riverview
I 28
3/14/06
!
Apartments in Eagle-Vail, where tenants have paid exorbitantly large heating bills in the winter for
units constructed with poor insulation and windows. Incremental up-front cost increases for
improved energy efficiency normally have quick returns on investments, and usually offer lower
monthly living costs when combining utility and mortgage/rental costs.
~ Economic Retention/Development: Since most all of the energy consumed in Eagle County is
generated elsewhere, every dollar of energy conserved and/or generated locally with renewable
power is money retained in our communities. In addition, the proposed efficient building code will
encourage development of skilled design and technical professionals locally with expertise in
energy conservation and renewable power.
~ Utility price protection: Energy experts project recent increases in electric and natural gas utility
rates to continue. Constructing buildings that rely on less energy insulates current and future
owners from potential impacts of utility cost increases.
[+] FINDING: Community need. [Section 5-230.D.5.] B It HAS BEEN demonstrated that the
proposed amendment addresses a community need.
STANDARD: Development patterns. [Section 5-230.D.6.] Whether and the extent to which the proposed
amendment would result in a logical and orderly development pattern, and not constitute spot zoning, and whether
the resulting development can logically be provided with necessary public facilities and services.
Specific development patterns and services do not apply to this proposal.
STANDARD: Public interest. [Section 5-230.D.7.] Whether and the extent to which 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.
1. The issue of land uses or densities that might or might not be in the public interest is not
related to this proposal. A 120-day phase-in period be implemented prior to the code
becoming regulatory in which staff will provide educational events and materials to the public.
Building permit applicants will be required to complete the Eco-Build checklist for
familiarity/education, but no point minimums would be enforced.
2. Staff will present to the board an update on the Eco-Build program within 180 days of becoming
regulatory to make any changes/adjustments to the code as may be necessary.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Palmer presented a PowerPoint presentation. His presentation introduced trends and preliminary steps
to proposing the code and included several graphs showing the expense of transporting natural gas, gas production
and national average residential energy profile. The intent of the Eco Build program is to encourage cost-effective
building methods to create safe, durable, energy efficient structures that conserve natural resources and promote the
efficient use of sustainable building materials. The goal is to create a simple, streamlined method to codify
efficient building that is both regulatory and incentive based. The program would also create a funding source that
would assist homeowners to improve existing home energy efficiency. He presented a general timeline/history of
work sessions. It was suggested that staff create "carrot and stick" approach; staff then developed a point-based
program. If voted in, a 120 day preliminary implementation process is suggested. Some of the proposed draft
changes that have occurred include a sliding scale, incentive for building permit rebates, removal of finger-joint trip
points, points for low flow fixtures only for those exceeding code, inserted points for wood pellet stoves, inserted
oints for thermostats in each habitable room, just to name a few. The program would also allow for a cash-in-lieu
ption that would allow for more market flexibility, FTE funding to run programs without having to raise existing
29
3/14/06
building permit fees, incentive program for those exceeding compliance. Additional funds would go back to into
the community in the form of efficiency/renewable energy financial incentives for existing structures/new
affordable housing within Eagle County. The Eagle County Planning Commission suggested a 1-3 year phase-in
....~riod that would allow for time to educate the building community. It was also suggested that the focus should be
wr~ commercial. Dwelling units 0-2000 square feet would need to meet at least 40 points, 2001-4000 square feet
would need to meet at least 50 points, 6001-8000 square feet would need to meet 90 points etc., or pay a $4 per
square foot fee into the Renewables and Efficiency Fund. Dwelling units exceeding their points could receive a
25% building permit rebate, not to exceed $5000. A 10,000 square foot home with an EcoBuild score of 48 would
need to make upgrades to meet 11 O-point minimum, or pay cash-in-lieu option of $40,000. Mr. Palmer indicated
that all findings were positive and staff recommends approval with conditions.
Chairman Runyon opened public comment
Kara Heide spoke. She stated that the proposal is very complicated. She is concerned with the obstacles it
could create and the financial burden it might cause. She is favor of a phase in period and educating the public. The
language is confusing and the mandatory point system almost seems to be a punishment opposed to incentives. The
expenses seem to be ongoing. She's confused with the added cost of paying for certain items to bring up your
score. She'd rather see incentives rather than penalties moving forward. She suggested increasing the cost of a
permit to allow for a cushion in the budget. Some of the requirements are not only expensive but require
sophisticated engineering, routine maintained and an ongoing expense. She wondered how the Planning
Department determined the equitable trade off between line items and how it was measured for the positive impact
that these items have. Recently she considered a tank less on demand water heating system and was advised by
three independent plumbing companies that the instillation of those types of systems is not advisable for our
climate, because the water temperatures that we have in the mountains is substandard for the energy needed to heat
the water. She wondered if the code would be adjusted over time. She recommended continuing to work on the
details. Commissioner Menconi asked if Ms. Heide was planning to build her home within the year.
Ms. Heide stated that she does have the plans but is having a hard time finding a builder that can meet her
budget and Eco-Build standards. She stated that she speaks on behalf of others that have similar concerns.
Commissioner Menconi stated that there were some fairly inexpensive ways to bring the points higher and
sked if she'd looked at those options.
Mr. Palmer stated that as it is written now, if Ms. Heide was unable to meet the 40 point requirement, the
only way to get a building permit would be to pay the full cash-in-lieu amount of 4 dollars per foot. He doesn't
believe that meeting the 40 points would be that difficult to achieve.
Commissioner Menconi has spoken with some people that believe Eco-Build is brainwashing. He
wondered if Ms. Heide had heard this from anyone she'd spoke with.
Ms. Heide stated that she got different feedback from different people. She wonders if you really get a
return for your money over time.
Chairman Runyon asked Ms. Heide if she thought the numbers that had been presented weren't realistic.
Ms. Heide stated that time will tell and its' a difference of opinion. The program requires you to have the
money upfront to get a return.
Chairman Runyon asked Mr. Palmer to explain the payback over time.
Mr. Palmer stated that the payback numbers he used were from national studies. He believes that there is a
favorable rate of return in our climate. He understands Ms. Heide's frustration in finding contractors out there that
do this type of work but he believes a code like this can transform the market.
Jim Guida, professional building contractor spoke. He spoke in support of the program and believes it's a
gift that keeps on giving. He believes the Board should base their decision on what the program means to the
professional industry.
Commissioner Menconi asked Mr. Guida how he would rate the program.
Mr. Guida stated that on a scale of 1-10, he would give the program a 6.5. He believes that the program is
solid and where it should be from a professional standard.
Commissioner Menconi asked ifhe felt it would be attainable and a long term gain for a mid-size home.
Mr. Guida stated that he believes it is more attainable on a smaller home than a larger home.
Commissioner Stone asked Mr. Guida what the average size of the homes he builds is.
Mr. Guida stated 4000 square feet.
30
3/14/06
Rodger Stocksteader, Insul Vail owner spoke. He is familiar with this type of program and believes they
are very effective. He believes some higher standards than what we have currently would be appropriate and he is
in favor of the program.
Amy Birdsall, representing the west chapter of the American Institute of Architects spoke. She believes the
'ogram should be approved and is important to the County as well as the world. It is an opportunity to save on
resources in our backyard as well as the world's resources and reduce green house gases. Buildings contribute to
over 50% green house gas emissions which are contributing to global warming. She looks at the program as a step
toward increased awareness of green building within the county and the world.
Commissioner Menconi asked Ms. Birdsall to explain why the group wanted to get involved in the
program.
Ms. Birdsall stated that architects stand for a larger vision of the building community and representative of
not only construction but social standards and what the vision of society needs to be. Those who contributed are
leaders in the community and leaders in their profession. They are interested in seeing the larger vision of what
architecture and planning can be implemented.
Gerry Amold, resident of Eagle County spoke. She has objections to the concepts behind the program. She
wondered if someone attempted to build a home and came up short what benefit would there be for their attempt.
She believes there should be some way to make the incentives more reachable.
Chairman Runyon closed public comment
Mr. Palmer responded to public comment. He stated that from a starting point staff is not exactly sure
where some of the incentives are going to land and they want to make that the program would not run into the red
within the first year. For this reason the program is set up conservatively. They would like to see more of a
building permit incentive for those exceeding compliance. An Eco-Build specialist would be working as a
consultant to owners/builders to help them achieve necessary points and offer the first time home builders a chance
to build themselves a better building than would be built without that assistance.
Commissioner Menconi asked Mr. Palmer to explain how he'd planned his own sensibility and financial
situation to the program while building his own home.
Mr. Palmer stated that they wanted a target that would be obtainable and not negatively affect the lower or
iddle class spectrum. There has been a tremendous amount of feedback and he is pleased with the progress of the
program. A lot of eyes have looked at the code and a lot of comments have helped shape it. Aspen was the only
one that saw the program as weak.
Commissioner Menconi asked what Mr. Palmer ifhe found it intimidating to be in front of the planning
commISSIOn.
Mr. Palmer stated that he was a little surprised by the outcome of the meeting. There seemed to be some
confusion in the votes and a vote for a one year phase-in period that was not seconded.
Commissioner Menconi asked Mr. Palmer how he compromised on some issues and stayed within his
opmIOn.
Mr. Palmer stated that he tried to fit it within the intent of the code and points based on balance, feasibility
and cost.
Commissioner Stone stated that when he heard that the Planning Commission had voted to deny the code,
he suggested that it be sent back to the Planning Commission for more work, before presenting it to the
Commissioners. He believes the program is counter productive to affordable housing. He supports the intensions
but there should be a clear understanding as to qualification. He believes there should be a sliding scale, more of a
carrot and less of a stick. He is in favor of the generalized effort but is against legislating against peoples lifestyles.
Chairman Runyon stated that his only reservation would be the arbitrary threshold that must be reached.
He is concerned with the carrot size.
Commissioner Menconi read the two suggested conditions. He believes that the 180 day phase-in period
would allow for any additional modifications.
Mr. Mathews stated that changes could not be made without going back through the planning process.
Chairman Runyon suggested a third condition that would increase the carrot size.
Commissioner Stone wondered what the hurry was and recommended tabling the file to work out the
.:tails.
Chairman Runyon wondered if there was minor tweaking, whether it would need to go back before the
31
3/14/06
1-
planning commission.
Mr. Mathews stated it would not.
Chairman Runyon wondered if it would be possible to increase the carrot size.
Mr. Palmer stated that the proposal was to offer a 25% building permit rebate, if they reduced the points for
Ie rebate and there were a number of people all at once exceeding compliance then the fund could run into the red
_efore the project got going. He believes there should be more of a carrot, but he would recommend a combination
of reduced point level and increased rebate amount. The program was started conservatively so that building
permit revenues wouldn't be run into the red.
Chairman Runyon stated that he is not 100% certain of the mechanism.
Commissioner Menconi suggested tabling the file to gather more information. He believes that Mr. Palmer
has done a wonderful job, but wants to table because this is the first time they have had a chance to look at the file.
He is in favor of this program.
Commissioner Menconi moved to table File No.LUR-00058 the amendment to the Eagle County Building
Resolution until April 11, 2006.
Commissioner Stone seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
*Let the record show that Commissioner Menconi was not present for the remainder of the day.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A. SUMMARY: This application proposes to amend the Eagle County Land Use Regulations to provide the
following:
. Clearer direction on the use of dead end roads within proposed developments in Eagle County.
Two new terms, Urban Cul-de-sacs and Rural Cul-de-sacs, are defined.
. Provide design standards for Urban Cul-de-sacs. Urban Cul-de-sacs are short dead end roads
equipped with adequate fire fighting water, and are proposed to be exempt from the requirement
for dual access. This clears a grey area in present-day regulations.
. Provide design standards for Rural Cul-de-sacs which, in the event this type oflong dead-end road
is approved by the Board, will better assure adequate fire suppression resources.
. More concise text for Dual Access requirements
Of significance, these proposed amendments to text of the Land Use Regulations do not create new
32
3/14/06
regulations as much as they clarify and refine existing regulations. Dual Access is already required. A
variance for projects that do not have dual access is already required. A new definition is proposed,
however, which will exempt short "urban" type roads with adequate water and fire service from the dual
access requirement. Driveways will also be exempted - a situation which does not currently exist. In
short, the proposed changes provide better guidelines, exempt roads where dual access should not be a
concern, and elevate the standards for dead end roads where hazards potentially do exist. The Local Fire
Authority Having Jurisdiction is provided opportunity to make recommendations on all new proposals.
STAFF REPORT
A. REFERRAL RESPONSES: This draft regulatory amendment was referred to 280 local, state and federal
public and private agencies for review and comment. The following three responses have been received as
of this writing:
Eagle County Engineering Please refer to the attached memo dated February 21, 2006 Responded with no
comment
Vail Resorts Development Please refer to the attached e-mail dated February 21,2006
Suggested inserting language on lines two and three, item 4-620.J.1.h so that it would read "two (2) points
of ingress/egress to the public roadway system shall be provided, unless prevented by topography or other
physical conditions and a variance is granted as provided below, such that in the event a road.... "
The Planning Commission agreed with staff that this is not necessary. There may be any number of
reasons why a development cannot be provided dual access. In the end, a variance from improvement
standards by the BoCC is still required.
Eagle River Fire Protection District: Please refer to the attached memo dated February 2,2006
. The proposed amendments adequately address fire department concerns.
. The amendments provide clear definition of cul-de-sacs and driveways
. Meeting the requirements for an Urban Cul-de-sac will greatly reduce the need for secondary
access in those situations
. Regarding water service for Rural Cul-de-sacs; if a monitored fire sprinkler system is being
considered, it should be coordinated with the local building official as well as the local fire
authority.

3/14/06
4. Pursuant to Chapter 2, Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-230.D., Standards for the
review of Amendments to the Text of the Land Use Regulations, as applicable:
STANDARD: Consistency with Comprehensive Plan. [Section 5-230.D.1.] B Whether and the extent to
which the proposed amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, policies and FLUM (Future Land
Use Map) of the Comprehensive Plan.
Policy 3.8.2.a of the 2005 Eagle County Comprehensive Plan states "Development should avoid
areas of significant natural hazard" and includes the implementation strategy "Create incentives
and negotiate with land owners and developers to locate development away from hazard areas".
The proposed amendment will provide developers with the incentive to design rural projects with
safety and access in mind, and will provide the Board with the ability to deny projects that may place
future inhabitants at risk as a result of poor access.
Policy 3.2A.e encourages "urban and suburban type growth to be located within or immediately
adjacent to towns and community centers". Policy 3.2A.h states that "open corridors between
towns should be preserved" The proposed text amendment could provide incentives to place future
development in the most appropriate locations.
This amendment will not result in any change to the Future Land Use Map or its application.
[+] FINDING: Consistency with Comprehensive Plan. [Section 5-230.D.1.] The proposed amendment IS
consistent with the purposes, goals, policies of the Comprehensive Plan. This text amendment WILL NOT
result in any change to the Future Land Use Map or its application.
STANDARD: Compatible with Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-230.D.2.] Whether and the extent to
which the proposed amendment is compatible with existing and proposed uses surrounding the subject
land, and is the appropriate zone district for the land, considering its consistency with the purpose and
standards of the proposed zone district.
The issue of compatibility is not related to this proposed text amendment.
STANDARD: Changed conditions. [Section 5-230.D.3.] Whether and the extent to which there are
changed conditions that require an amendment to modifY the use or density/intensity.
Lands most suitable for development will grow increasingly scarce as development continues in Eagle
County's, and as a result there will be increased pressure to develop lands less suitable and more difficult to
access. These amendments will provide clear expectations regarding access and safety for future
developments. Conditions have changed and are changing such that the proposed amendments should be
considered.
[+] FINDING: Changed conditions. [Section 5-230.D.3.] There ARE changed conditions that
require an amendment to the text of the County's Land Use Regulations in order to better control
future uses and densities/intensities.
STANDARD: Effect on natural environment. [Section 5-230.DA.] Whether and the extent to which the
proposed amendment would result in significantly adverse impacts on the natural environment, including
but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife habitat, vegetation, and wetlands.
Effects on the natural environment is not directly related to this proposed text amendment.
34
3/14/06
STANDARD: Community need. [Section 5-230.D.5.] Whether and the extent to which the proposed
amendment addresses a demonstrated community need.
Designs that provide safe access to and from neighborhoods in the event of an emergency clearly fit the
description of a community need.
[+] FINDING: Community need. [Section 5-230.D.5.] The proposed text amendment DOES
address a community need.
STANDARD: Development patterns. [Section 5-230.D.6.] Whether and the extent to which the proposed
amendment would result in a logical and orderly development pattern, and not constitute spot zoning, and
whether the resulting development can logically be provided with necessary public facilities and services.
The proposed amendments could be used to encourage higher densities (on urban cul-de-sacs) in areas
where water service is available, and to discourage sprawl and development in more sensitive areas
(requiring access by rural cul-de-sacs) of the County.
[+] FINDING: Development patterns. [Section 5-230.D.6.] The proposed text amendment MAY
result in a more logical and orderly development pattern. It IS NOT related to the topic of spot
zoning, but IS related to a determination regarding provision for public facilities and services to
future developments.
STANDARD: Public interest. [Section 5-230.D.7.] Whether and the extent to which 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.
This text amendment is not related to any specific land area, or a new use or density. It would seem,
however, that a provision to encourage safe access in remote areas of the County, and to discourage sprawl
and encourage development in existing community centers, given the stated values of the community as
expressed in Eagle County's Comprehensive Plan, is in the public's interest.
[+] FINDING: Public interest. [Section 5-230.D.7.] The proposed text amendment IS in the
Public Interest.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Roaring Fork Resources, owner and operator of the Gypsum Ranch Sand and Gravel Pit (Lafarge), has submitted a
request for approval to move into Phase III of their six phase gravel extraction and processing operation located
north of the Eagle County Airport. Per condition #2 of Resolution 97-146, each new phase of this project requires
pproval by the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners through separate resolution. Phase I was approved
1 April of 1999 (resolution 99-47); Phase II was approved in May of2001 (resolution 2001-078).
The subject property is a 250 acre parcel that fills the space between Highway 6 and the Eagle River, beginning one
mile east of Gypsum and running east approximately 1.2 miles to the western property line of the G.H. Daniels
Nursery site. The site is zoned Resource. Historic uses of the land are agricultural, and these uses remain on
undeveloped portions ofthe site. Phase I, located at the west end of the property, totaled approximately 25 acres
and currently contains all operational equipment and support facilities. Phase II of the project consisted of
approximately 18 acres ofland adjacent to the east of Phase I. Phase III consists of approximately 19 acres and is
contiguous to Phase II. Each additional phase will open between 16 and 24 acres ofland at a time. In total, 120 of
the 250 acres will be subject to mining under the current plan.
As the mining operation progresses towards the east, permanent operational facilities will remain on the Phase I
site. Offices, scales, a Redi-mix concrete plant, an asphalt plant, parking and maintenance areas, and equipment and
fuel storage areas will remain for the life of the project. The crusher machinery and wash plant will move eastward
with each phase so as to remain in close proximity to new resource as it is exposed. Overburden materials will be
stockpiled on future phase sites and will be used to create screening berms surrounding active operations areas.
Stockpiled overburden will then be relocated, as needed, to accommodate reclamation activities, which will be
concurrent with development. As detailed in the Phasing Reclamation and Operations Plan (revised 3/28/01), the
operator is required to begin restoration and reclamation of the non-operating portions of previous phases within
one year of the approval of a new Phase.
The excavation of the Gypsum Sand and Gravel Pit is occurring in such a manner as to leave a significant head
wall, 20 to 30 feet tall, on all sides of the pit. This, combined with perimeter berming, has resulted in mining and
rocessing activities that are, for the most part, below grade and out of view of the public. Also, given the height of
e head walls and the large volume of the excavation, storm water incident on the site is 100% contained within
the "pit". It is unlikely that any storm water runoff would ever daylight from the site to the adjacent river.

STAFF DISCUSSION/FINDINGS
Ten conditions were included for the Gypsum Ranch Sand and Gravel Pit Special Use Permit, ZS-00003. These
conditions are set forth in Resolution No. 97-146. Following is a list of the conditions with the Applicant's response
to each condition, and Staffs analysis ofthe same:
1. This Special Use Permit supercedes the Uses by Right in the Resource Zone District except as may be
approved by the Board of County Commissioners through the Special Use Permit process; provided
that agricultural uses and the existing dwellings, utility distribution facilities and water diversion
structures/ditches as shown on the Site Plan shall be considered to be a part of this Special Use Permit.
The Site Plan referred to herein is dated May 27, 1997 and is attached hereto as Exhibit D and
incorporated herein by this reference.
Applicant Response: Only the allowed uses noted above are occurring on Phase III and the (past and)
future phases of the project.
Staff Analvsis: The Applicant has submitted an updated Site Plan that reflects current layouts and
conditions (Exhibit A). Staff has confirmed that only those uses allowed are occurring on the site. The
Applicant is in compliance with condition #1.
2. This Special Use request is granted with the provision that the applicant adhere to the Site Plan and to
the Phasing, Reclamation and Operations Plan dated July 9, 1997, and the Review Checklistfor
Approval of Movement onto a Subsequent Phase, respectively Exhibits 'B' and 'c' hereto.
Applicant Response: The applicant is in substantial compliance with the Site Plan, the Phasing
Reclamation and Operations Plan dated July 9, 1997, and the Review Checklist. The attached checklist
has been completed to the extent possible indicating the information that can be completed prior to an
inspection ofthe site by County staff. Supporting documentation is attached to this letter for the items
which have been checked. A number of the items on this list will need to be completed and approved
by staff through an on-site inspection.
Staff Analvsis: Using the Review Checklist as a guide, Staff conducted the required site visit on
February 8th, 2006, in addition to a preliminary site visit on November 14th, 2005. The applicant has
provided the applicable information and the Review Checklist has been completed. It has been
determined that the Applicant is in compliance with condition #2.
3. The applicant must provide acceleration/deceleration and turn lanes on Highway 6 prior to
commencing operations on the site using this Special Use Permit.
37
3/14/06
Applicant's Response: The improvements noted above were in place prior to commencement of
operations on Phase 1 of the project in 2000. These improvements have been previously inspected and
approved by the Eagle County Engineering Department.
Staff Analysis: The Applicant is in compliance with condition #3.
4. The applicant must obtain the following permits and approval of agency having jurisdiction of the
following plans, and copies of these permits, plans and approvals must be submitted to Eagle County
Planning Division before beginning site preparation or other activities pursuant to this Special Use
Permit on the site:
. State Highway Access Permit
. Railroad Crossing Permits
. Storm Water Management Plan
. Silt and erosion controls
. MLRB/DMG Mining Permit
. Fire Protection Plan
. Spill Prevention and Control Counter Measures
. Air Emission Permit
. Fugitive Dust Control Plan/Permit
Applicant's Response: Copies of the permits and approvals as referenced above were submitted to
the County for the Phase 1 review process. Staff determined that the applicant had demonstrated
compliance with the necessary permitting requirements. The Spill Prevention Plan and the silt and
erosion control plans were included in the final site drawings for the project, and have also been
previously approved by staff. The Fire Protection Plan was included as Section IX of the Phasing,
Reclamation and Operations Plan dated 7/09/97. These latter items have not been resubmitted.
Staff Analysis: Current permits and approvals have been submitted and are in order. The Applicant is
in compliance with condition #4.
5. The applicant must hard-surface the entrance road from Highway 6 to the scales before beginning
operations pursuant to this Special Use Permit.
Applicant's Response: The entrance road from Highway 6 to the scales has been hard-surfaced as
noted and this road is being maintained in good operating condition.
Staff Analysis: Confirmed by site inspection, the applicant is in compliance with condition #5.
6. Operations on the site must comply with the Eagle County Industrial and Commercial Performance
Standards (Section 2.07.07) or any applicable more stringent or additional performance standards
which may subsequently be adopted by the County, specifically but not limited to the following:
. Noise from all on-site sources and from truck hauling shall not exceed the performance standards
contained in State noise statutes or the following County standard, whichever is more restrictive.
The use shall be operated so that the volume of sound generated does not inherently or recurrently
exceed 60 decibels with a maximum increase of 5 decibels permitted by a maximum of 15 minutes
in anyone hour at any point of the property boundary line.
. The use shall be so operated that the ground vibration inherently and recurrently is not
perceptible, without instruments, at any point on the property line. There shall be no blasting on
the site.
. The use shall be so operated that it does not emit an obnoxious or dangerous degree of heat, glare,
radiation, or fumes beyond the property line.
38
3/14/06
. Fuels, chemicals, and other material shall be stored in such a way as to prevent or contain
accidental spills onto the ground. Such storage shall comply, as a minimum, with applicable state
and federal regulations.
. No materials or wastes shall be deposited upon the property in such form or manner that they may
be transferred off the property by natural causes or forces.
. All materials or wastes which might cause fumes or which constitute a fire hazard or which may be
edible by or otherwise attractive to rodents or insects shall be stored outdoors only in closed
containers.
. No dust, noise, odor, glare or vibration shall be projected beyond the permit area.
. Every use shall be so operated that meets State Air Quality Standards.
Applicant's Response: The applicant has been in compliance with the Eagle County Commercial and
Industrial Performance Standards throughout the Phase 1 and Phase II operations on the Gypsum Ranch
site and will continue to comply with these standards with the Phase III operation. Around the time
Phase 1 began operations in 1999, Eagle County passed a new set of Land Use Regulations. The
Commercial and Industrial Performance Standards in the new regulations are set out in Division 4-5. A
comparison of these standards in the two sets of regulations indicates that there are no substantial
differences in the content between the two, and the applicant will continue to comply with the
applicable standards as noted above.
Staff analvsis: Staff agrees. Code enforcement activities have been nil over the past 4+ years. Staff
has determined that the Applicant is in compliance with condition #6.
7. This permit will expire without further action on June 1,2008.
Applicant's Response: Understood.
Staff analvsis: Condition #1 of Resolution 99-47, Permit to Proceed with Phase 1, reads:
"Consistent with approval conditions #2 and #7 (Resolution 97-146), the lifetime of the Special Use
Permit is now less than 10 years and is set to expire June 1,2008. A realistic phasing plan identifying
the June 1, 2008 expiration date shall be completed and reviewed as part of the compliance review that
will occur prior to commencement of operations on Phase 2".
While information submitted by the applicant acknowledges June 1,2008 as the expiration date ofthe
existing Special Use Permit, the Phasing, Reclamation and Operations Plan has not been modified to
reflect a termination of gravel operations at that time. It is "realistic" to assume that, upon expiration,
the operator will apply for an extension of operations through a new special use permit and, if approved
by the BoCC, will be allowed to continue with the existing 20 year phasing plan. As such, and given
the Applicant's printed acknowledgment of this termination date, Staff can find that the current
application complies with condition #7. It is noted, however, that application for approval for that
future phase which would precede and/or include the 2008 termination date should require a more
detailed analysis of how operations on the site would end should a new special use permit not be
granted at that time.
8. When submitting its design of subsequent phases of development of the property, the applicant must
provide for locations for a bike path crossing the property to conform to the County Trails Plan and
river access.
Applicant's Response: 1 have attached the portion of the County Trails Plan applicable to the area
adjacent to the Gypsum Ranch, as Exhibit 'C'. As you will notice, there are two approved alternatives
for a bike path through this area and neither ofthese alternatives crosses the Gypsum Ranch property.
The primary route for this path between Gypsum and Eagle is north of the Eagle River, and south of or
sometimes within the 1-70 right-of-way. The purpose for the location of the path here as the prime
39
3/14/06
~
alternative is due to the location of the Eagle County Fairgrounds property at the eastern end of this
segment, also north of the Eagle River. As will be noted in the current Fairgrounds Master Plan, paths
are shown crossing the entire Fairgrounds property with a connection for the remaining segments at the
west end. This preferred alternative is situated north of the Eagle River for the entire route, and does
not contemplate a crossing of the river. The second alternative for a bike path between Gypsum and
Eagle is south of Highway 6. As stated in the plan, "this alternative is not as continuous as Alternative
A (north of the river) nor is it as separated from vehicular traffic, but it may prove to be more
achievable in terms of construction and acquisition." Thus, with two viable locations for the path in the
approved County Trails Plan outside of the Gypsum Ranch project boundary, a third and less viable
alternative does not seem reasonable at this time.
Staff Analvsis: Staff would agree with the applicant's position, and finds plans submitted in
compliance with condition #8.
9. Before beginning any operations pursuant to this Special Use Permit, Applicant must enter into a
written agreement for the relocation and diversion of the Stremme-Gates ditch. Although the County
will not necessarily enforce the agreement, Applicant's performance of that agreement shall be a
condition of the permit.
Applicant's Response: A written agreement, signed copy attached, was completed with the adjacent
owner and user of the Stremme-Gates ditch prior to Phase I approval. The ditch has been relocated as
shown on the exhibit to the agreement and has operated with no problems since it's relocation. The
next phases of the operation will have no effect on the continued operation of this ditch.
Staff Analvsis: The above referenced agreement is noted, as is the fact that operations on Phase II will
not effect the continued operation of this irrigation ditch. Plans submitted are in compliance with
condition #9.
10. In-basin water augmentation, above the take-out in the Eagle River, should occur ifit becomes
available and feasible.
Applicant's Response: Attached is a copy of an approved Water Rights Application, 97-CW-099,
which addresses this issue. This application was signed by the district water judge on July 7, 1999 and
allows for augmentation water to be provided from a number of sources. Included among these sources
is in-basin supply from the Eagle Park Reservoir. Also attached is a copy of the current Water Supply
Contract between the applicant and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. The District
administers contracts for the Eagle Park Reservoir.
Staff Analvsis: The Applicant has provided evidence that a contract for water in Eagle Park Reservoir
does exist, and would be able to supply in-basin augmentation should a call originate from downstream
on the Eagle River. The Applicant is in compliance with condition #10.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is in agreement with the Applicant that the 10 a.pproval conditions required by Resolution 97 -146, Approval of
Special Use Permit ZS-00003, for Gravel Extraction and processing for the Gypsum Ranch Sand and Gravel Pit,
have been or are currently being met.

Ms. Skinner-Markowitz presented the applicants request to move into Phase III of their six phase gravel
extraction and processing operation located north of the Eagle County Airport, each new phase of this project
requires approval by Eagle County Board of County Commissioners. The PowerPoint presentation included aerial
hotos of the site and various photos of the equipment used in the excavating process. She indicated that all staff
'ndings were positive and staff recommended approval.
Commissioner Stone moved the Board of County Commissioners approve the request for a Permit to
ProceedJor Phase III, Gypsum Ranch Sand and Gravel Pit, File No. ZS-00003, with the following conditions:
1. Except as otherwise modified by this approval, all material representations made by the Applicant in this
application and in public meeting shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval.
2. That the Board of County Commissioners shall be immediately notified of any changes in or to the existing
water augmentation plan (Water Supply Contract CRWCD 99-8).
Chairman Runyon seconded the motion. Of the two voting commissioners, the vote was declared
