Work Session - Cliff Effect Lisa Pease & Gretchen McComb, Women's Foundation Recorded Planning Files ZS-00172 Vines at Vail Temporarv Special Use Permit (for Contractor Storae:e) Jena Skinner-Markowitz, Planning Department The purpose of this Temporary Special Use Permit is for office and temporary contractor storage yard. The site (formerly utilized by Waste Management) will be utilized as an office (currently use by right) and temporary contractor/staging area for the neighboring Vines at Vail PUD. Additionally, some of the existing upper/north garage would also be used for contractor storage by Steam Master Restoration and Cleaning, similar to their Minturn facility. The life of the Special Use Permit is proposed for three (3) years. ACTION: LOCATION: Accessed from Hwy 131; Wolcott. Section 15, Township 4S, Range 83W 4 OS/27/08 FILE NO./PROCESS: PROJECT NAME: OWNER: APPLICANT: REPRESENT ATIVE: ZS-OOl72; Consolidated Special Use Permit Vines at Vail (Temporary) Consolidated Special Use Permit for Contractor's Storage Patrick Chirichillo Owner Sid Fox/Fox and Company 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The purpose of this application is to establish Office uses and (temporary) Contractor Storage Yard uses for the developer of the Vines at Vail PUD, as well as for possible tenant(s)/lessee(s). The subject property was formerly utilized by Waste Management of Colorado for maintenance, storage, office, truck parking, dispatch and waste material dumpsters. With this Special Use Permit, the site will continue to be utilized for office use and a temporary contractor storage yard/staging area, but for the neighboring Vines at Vail PUD instead of Waste Management. Additionally, the existing upper/north garage would be used for office and/or Contractor Storage by a tenant/lessee. Per the underlying Rural Center (RC) zoning, "Office use" is currently a use by right; "Contractor Storage Yard" necessitates a Special Use Permit. Because the life of the Special Use Permit is proposed for only three (3) years, this Permit is considered temporary. The applicant, Patrick Chirichillo has recently purchased this property from Waste Management. The property contains three (3) existing commercial structures that were established in the early 1980s; however, a Special Use Permit for Contractor Storage was never obtained. It appears that "trash" removal and related uses had existed on the site since 1972 and was considered a grandfathered use. The associated (and neighboring) Vines at Vail PUD was approved in 2006. The project included a working winery and tasting room (the focal aspect ofthe proposal); a lodge with suites for guests; a community pavilion; residential units and office and commercial space. As opposed to keeping construction materials and vehicles stored openly on the neighboring PUD site during construction, materials and equipment will be housed inside these existing structures, once used by Waste Management. The applicant also plans to clean up the existing site approving the overall state of the subject property. B. South: Contractor Storage East: Contractor Storage RC RC/R Railroad ROW 5 OS/27/08 Proposed.ZO~ing~ N/A Current Development: Developed property, most recently used by Waste Management for dumpster storage, office, maintenance and associated uses.

PLANNING COMMISSION DELIBERATION SUMMARY & MOTION: The Eagle County Planning Commission carefully considered this application on May 7th, 2008. The Planning Commission, after hearing the presentations by Staff and applicant, did not have any significant concerns other than ensuring that any potential visual impacts were properly mitigated with this Special Use Permit. With that, the Commission modified Condition no.13 requiring fencing along the eastern boundary/property line; a new condition 15, which ensures that any lessee is aware of the three (3) year limitation on the Special Use Permit; and a new condition 16 that limits signage to the office building. Ultimately, the Planning Commission approved the application with staff conditions. Motion to approve with conditions was unanimous [5:0] 2. STAFF REPORT A. NECESSARY FINDINGS: PROCESS INTENT ECLUR Section: 5-250 Special Use Permits Section Purpose: Special Uses are those uses that are not necessarily compatible with the other uses allowed in a zone district, but may be determined compatible with the other uses allowed in the zone district based upon individual review of their location, design, configuration, density and intensity of use, and the imposition of appropriate 6 OS/27/08 conditions to ensure the compatibility of the use at a particular location with surrounding land uses. All Special Use Permit types (Conceptual, Final or Consolidated) shall meet the standards set forth in this Section. Standards: Section 5-250.B. The issuance of a Special Use Permit shall be dependent upon findings that there is competent evidence that the proposed use as conditioned, fully complies with all the standards of this Section, this Division, this Article, and these Land Use Regulations. The Planning Commission may recommend and the Board of County Commissioners may attach any conditions deemed appropriate to ensure compliance with the following standards, including conformity to a specific site plan, requirements to improve public facilities necessary to serve the Special Use, and limitations on the operating characteristics of the use, or the location or duration of the Special Use Permit ST ANDARD: Consistent with Comprehensive Plan. [Section 5-250.B.IJ The proposed Special Use shall be appropriate for its proposed location and be consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the FLUM of the Comprehensive Plan, including standardsfor building and structural intensities and densities, and intensities of use.

According to the Wolcott Area Community Plan, "Types of uses proposed include commercial, light industrial, warehousing, agricultural activity and small residential. Any use which utilizes hazardous materials should be located in this area. " X2- With the cessation of Waste Management, traffic is decreased and the primary intent of the Waste Management business- refuse- is eliminated from the property; there will be no more primary storage dumpsters on this property. The result is a less impaciful use of the property and removes the potential for air, odor and noise disturbance.

Further, as the materials will be kept inside the existing buildings and the site will be "cleaned up" by the property owner, the appearance of the site will also improve. Additionally, there are no residential uses established immediately adjacent to the subject 8 OS/27/08 property; therefore, the benefits of inside storage of materials and equipment will affect the greater neighborhood, not just the immediate neighborhood.

W. Temporary Building or Use 1. Use Limitations. Temporary buildings shall only be used to conduct a use that is allowed, or a use that is allowed by limited review or by special review, in the underlying zone district. 2. Health and Safety Codes. Temporary buildings or uses shall comply with all applicable regulations concerning health, sanitation, safety and access. 3. Removal. The applicant shall provide positive assurance that the temporary building or use shall be removed or operations shall be ceased by the required time, as follows: a. Removal by County at Owner's Expense. The County shall be given permission by the applicant and owner to remove the temporary building or use at the owner's expense if, at any time, the building is determined to be out of compliance with these Land Use Regulations. b. Deposit. A deposit of an amount determined by the Board may be required from the applicant to defray the County's costs to remove a temporary building or use. According to the subject property survey, there are several portions of the existing buildings which are of a nonconforming status. As long as the applicant does not necessitate significant improvements to these structures, uses contained within the buildings may continue, pending use approval.

REFERRAL RESPONSES: Eagle County Environmental Health Department - Please refer to attachment dated 04-23-08 . The applicant is proposing to utilize the existing 24 year old vault for the retention of sewage generated by employees. . It is recommended that prior to occupancy, the existing vault be inspected by a Registered Professional Engineer and a report with site plan be submitted to environmental health which verifies the structural integrity of the vault and declares the vault to be in full compliance with Chapter IV, 4.09.02, Eagle County Land Use Regulations. . Should the vault need to be replaced, the applicant must apply for and obtain an Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit and the new vault installed prior to occupancy. . It is recommended that the temporary nature of the use be better defined to understand exactly what to expect upon expiration. For example, three years from the date of the resolution when the uses are terminated, will the buildings remain vacant or will they be removed and the site be revegetated? Warehousing and vehicle storage are not allowed uses in the underlying Rural Center zone district. . The notion of having a specific business identified (Steam Master) to occupy an existing building which does not directly support the Vines at Vail project should be discussed and clarified as to 12 OS/27/08 whether or not a similar business could occupy the building without re-visiting another temporary use permit application. . It is our understanding that all 15 Steam Master vehicles will be stored inside the existing building. This should be memorialized as a condition. . Light maintenance of the Steam Master vehicles implies that oils, lubricants and solvents are likely to be present at the site. As such, a Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures Plan should be prepared and approved by Environmental Health prior to occupancy. . A Hazardous Materials Management Plan should be prepared and submitted to environmental health for approval which specifies what cleaning chemicals are stored on site; how they are stored and in what quantities with specific information regarding spill response. . The Plan will be made available by the applicant to local emergency response agencies upon approval. . Steam Master should demonstrate to environmental health how wastewater generated from their cleaning operations is disposed. Any improper disposal onto the surface of the ground or into storm sewers or surface water is prohibited and cause for immediate revocation of this permit. . It is noted that an existing fuel pump is to be removed. . The removal operation should be supervised by an environmental cleanup company to document that any contamination has been identified as to its aerial extent; cleaned up in its entirety and disposed of at an approved facility . See Conditions 4,5, 6, 7,8,9,10 Jim Dawkins, Eagle County Planning Commissioner (absent hearing), April 21, 2008: . I have reviewed the Vines file submission by Fox & Company and don't see anything right off the bat that is entirely objectionable if conditioned well in the staff report. Minor concerns are as follows: . "Temporary" usage as a Contractor's Storage Yard should be tied to either the start and/or completion of the overall construction schedule ofthe Vines project. . Not sure I quite understand the inclusion of Steam Master in the file. . Should this be a separate file/use or is this strictly a permittable leasing of space for business uses? The use itself by Steam Master does not directly support the Vines project. . Cleaning up of the existing Waste Management site is most welcome but - and no offense to Steam Master and my apologies if any is taken - lining up 15 Steam Master trucks on the hillside doesn't smack of improving the site. . Water quality concerns relative to products stored and/or disposed of by Steam Master in relative close proximity to the river. Bellyache Ridge Homeowners Association - Please refer to attachment dated 04/16/08 . The Bellyache HOA is opposed to this application, with objections centering on the following issues: . Why are they not using their own property to stage the construction of the Vines at Vail; . Whether the permit is approved or not, is there any way we can be assured that the construction area storage permit does not drag on beyond the three years cited in the application. . See Conditions 2, 8, 9 Eagle County Long Range Planning - Please refer to attachment dated 04/07/08 . Thanks for the opportunity to comment on this application for a temporary special use permit for contractor storage in the old WM buildings in Wolcott. . Looks like current zoning (RC) accommodates the application for this use. . The existing Wolcott plan places considerable emphasis on the compatibility of uses in this area, and it is in that light that I might suggest consideration of five items for you and the applicant. . The BFI building currently has an unshielded security light that is very bright and very visible to travelers on 1-70. . It is certainly out of place in the rural Wolcott setting. If possible, could you request a lighting plan for the site that minimizes fugitive light and helps preserve the dark night sky? . Additional detail on the "light vehicle maintenance" proposed to occur would be helpful in determining the suitability of that use. . Is the site set up to accommodate this activity? 13 OS/27/08 . The application infers that there may be some storage that occurs outside the building, stating that the "bulk" will occur within the buildings. . If so, the site plan should indicate any outside storage areas and how they will be used and perhaps screened. . Is there an opportunity to require the management and treatment of storm water leaving the site? . Finally, there is no doubt that the clean up of this site from its recent use will result in a much improved appearance. . That appearance would be even more improved, however, and the site made even more "compatible" if the outside parking and asphalt work areas that are visible to the public where to be screened with some attractive "temporary" fencing. Perhaps this could be offered as a means to improve site security. . See Conditions 12, 13 Eagle County Engineering Department - Please refer to attachment dated March 31, 2008 . The applicant has submitted a revised traffic memorandum dated March 19,2008, indicating that there is less than half of the site generated traffic when operated by Waste Management. . Given that this use is temporary and the traffic generated is less than the previous, no additional on site improvements are required. . An expiration date should be issued to the special use permit to correspond to the termination of the permit and the associated traffic. . See Condition 2 Additional Referral Agencies - This proposal was referred to the following agencies with no response received as of this writing: . Eagle County: Assessor; Attorney's Office; Housing Division; Sheriff's Office; Weed and Pest . Colorado State: Division of Transportation . Bureau of Land Management . Emergency Service Providers . Postmaster . Red Sky ranch HOA C. SUMMARY ANALYSIS: Benefits/Disadvantages. Benefits: Construction materials and vehicles that would have been stored openly on the neighboring Vines at Vail PUD site will now be screened from view and stored inside existing structures on the subject site.

DISCUSSION: Ms. Skinner-Markowitz presented the application. The purpose of the application is to establish office and a temporary contractor storage yard for uses by the developer ofthe Vines at Vail PUD, as well as for an additional tenant/lessee that may come along. Waste Management of Colorado formerly utilized the property. There are multiple buildings on the property. She presented various photos of the site. She stated that the staff findings were positive and the majority of findings for this application had been satisfied. The Eagle County Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. Sid Fox representing the applicant spoke. He stated that Waste Management had an underground gasoline tank on site. The applicant had the tank removed and a report was filed with Environmental Health that indicated there was no contamination on the site from the tank. The preexisting fence was in disrepair and has since been repaired and extended. The applicant has agreed to modify the existing exterior lights so that light is down cast and does not extend beyond the property. The site has undergone a considerable amount of clean up. The septic tank on the site that has been pumped and an inspection report will be released to the county soon. He provided several photos of the site and neighboring properties. The sites nearby are currently used as contractor storage. Chairman Runyon opened and closed public comment, as there was none. Commissioner Fisher asked about the intention of leasing part of the space and what type of operation would be considered. Patrick Chirichillo, applicant, stated that he was waiting for an approval before advertising the open space. It would be great for a building contractor or electrician, someone who would need space to store materials. Commissioner Fisher asked if the property would become part of the Vines at Vail development. Mr. Chirichillo stated that he would like to eventually join the properties. Mr. Fox stated that the long-term goal is to incorporate it into the Vines at Vail PUD or make it compatible. Chairman Runyon asked about the lease arrangement with Gallegos for storage. Mr. Chirichillo stated that the lease was grandfathered in would end when development begins on Vines at Vail. Chairman Runyon asked the applicant to explain the future use as it interfaces with the Vines at Vail. Mr. Chirichillo stated that he would have an office onsite and the property would become a staging area for Vines at Vail. Chairman Runyon wondered about the use after the development of Vines at Vail and how the property would be integrated into the Vines at Vail. Mr. Fox stated that the site would provide a second access for Vines at Vail. At this time, there is no plan. Chairman Runyon asked if there was an access easement. Mr. Fox stated that there is a railroad right-of-way and they currently have an emergency access egress. There is still discussion that needs to occur. Mr. Chirichillo stated that Waste Management had an easement from Holy Cross electric to gain access to the back of the buildings. 15 OS/27/08 Chairman Runyon asked if there was a construction schedule for the Vines at Vail. Mr. Chirichillo stated that he hopes to open his sales office on site to generate sales for the Vines at Vail. Chairman Runyon asked about the rental of the storage building and wondered whether it would be compatible with the area. Ms. Skinner-Markowitz stated that the lessee would have to apply for a limited review. Staff would insure that traffic is within the range permitted, storage was appropriate, etc. Mr. Chirichillo stated that the building would be rented to only one tenant. Ms. Skinner-Markowitz stated that there is an access limitation on the access point. If there is too much use on site, it could trigger a new highway access permit, which is not something the applicant is interested in pursumg. Mr. Fox stated that as part of the application they looked at the traffic generated from Waste Management and he believes the applicant's proposal would be an improvement. Chairman Runyon wondered about the reassurance ofthe 3-year expiration. Ms. Skinner-Markowitz stated that the special use permit is a temporary 3-year permit. The conditions will include a date of termination. The new computer tracking system will signal a reminder and staff will then process a resolution expiring the use, which the board would sign. Commissioner Fisher stated that she hopes the proposal will be an improvement to the area.

Review of the Amended Final Plat has determined that the proposed amendment IS consistent with the intent of the Final Plat. As this project seeks to combine existing lots, the intent of this plat IS consistent with the previous approval creating single family homesites. c. Conformance with Final Plat Requirements. Review of the Amended Final Plat has determined that the proposed amendment DOES conform to the Final Plat requirements and other applicable regulations, policies and guidelines. d. Improvement Agreement. DOES NOT apply. e. Restrictive Plat Note Alteration. DOES NOT apply. E. SUMMARY ANALYSIS: Benefits/Disadvantages. Benefits include: Removal of two (2) homesites in Cordillera results in a larger property/open area; Neighboring property owners do not appear to have any conflict with this amendment; Loss of two (2) previously approved home sites would be removed from the market; If the property owner resubdivides in the future (as long as the density for these lots is maintained and has not been reallocated elsewhere in Cordillera), the resubdivision application would be subject to the Eagle County Housing Guidelines resulting in the participation of affordable housing projects in Eagle County. Disadvantages: Eagle County will receive less tax revenue with the loss of two (2) homesites, unless the property is resubdivided in the future, which is a potential; however, not a guarantee (resubdivision is subject to Board of County Commissioners approval); Loss of two (2) previously approved homesites would be removed from the free market; however in doing so, the property owner may be removing the "~ested right" for two (2) additional homesites as the owners would have to apply for a separate application to resubdivide, approval of which is at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners. 19 OS/27/08 F.
