PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this Minor Type B Subdivision is to subdivide Lot II to create Lot II and Lot 12 and the building envelope for Lot 12; the parcels are within the Cordillera PUD. The requested configuration of the subdivision is the original Final Plat, however the homeowner went though an Amended Final Plat process a few years ago to join the two parcels. In addition, this Subdivision falls within requirements ofthe County Housing Guidelines; the property owner worked closely with the Housing Director to come to an agreement in regards to the new guidelines - please 3 08/13108 see' Suggested Condition' in this staff report and Exhibit A, which is a signed letter that outlines the terms of the agreement and will be recorded with this Final Plat.

STAFF FINDINGS: Pursuant to Section 5-290.G.l of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations, the Community Development Director has considered the following in the review of this Type B Minor Subdivision: a. Access, Water and Sewage. The access is provided via Peregrine Drive. Potable water and sewage are public systems provided by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District; b. Conformance with Final Plat Requirements. This Minor B Subdivision is in conformance with the Final Plat requirements and other applicable regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines; and c. Improvements Agreements. A Subdivision Improvements Agreement is not applicable, however the Housing agreement afore mentioned does apply. DISCUSSION: Ms. De Graaf presented the application and photos of the lot. She stated that the subdivision fell within the requirements ofthe County Housing Guidelines and the applicant had worked closely with the Housing Director to come to an agreement concerning the new guidelines. The suggested condition in the staff report outlined the terms of the agreement. Janet Jones, the applicant was present. She stated that they began the process in April of2008 and were selling because they were building another house. During the final steps, they were told about the new housing guidelines however, paying the fee in lieu was against their will. Chairman Runyon stated for the record that he spoke to the applicant's broker prior to knowing it would be a file coming before the board. Legally the board should not be talking to the applicants or their agents prior to hearing a file. He didn't believe his conversation would affect his judgment on the file. Chairman Runyon opened public comment Allison Kent from Mauriello Planning Group spoke on behalf of Vail Resorts Development Company. She requested that the file be tabled to research the applicant's housing obligations and whether this obligation had already been met. They had concerns with how the guidelines are being applied to this project. They believe that this PUD has a housing obligation that they were required to meet when the PUD was adopted. The applicant is merely putting a lot line back in place that was eliminated subsequently. Mr. Morris stated that he'd had conversations with Ms. Kent and others from Vail Resort. He understands the concerns and believed it was a fair question however, he would not consider this case to be a precedent one way or the other. Chairman Runyon wondered ifthere would be any language that would exclude further implications. Mr. Morris stated that the applicant had voluntarily agreed to the guidelines. There was no history of the lot line having been eliminated to reduce tax burden. '. Ms. Jones stated that they seperated the lot line because they wanted more privacy, not to reduce their tax burden. 4 08/13/08 Mr. Morris stated that he did not know whether the board had discretion to waive the affordable housing guidelines where they apply. Commissioner Menconi asked Ms. Kent to restate her input for Mr. Potente and Mr. Potente to answer her concerns and explain how the housing guidelines applied to the file. Allison Kent stated that they believed that Cordillera has an existing housing plan and language specifically regarding the process of eliminating lot lines and putting them back in place. Ms. Jones would not be adding any density above what is currently allowed by the PUD. They believed that the housing guidelines may have been inappropriately applied to this file. Mr. Potente stated that this was an ongoing dispute between Vail Resorts Development Company and the county regarding the housing guidelines. He believed by vacating the lot line, they gave up the right to build one of the two units they are currently asking to build. By re-platting and drawing a new lot line under the current zoning, an approval would entitle them to do what they were originally able to due. He did not believe further research was needed. The housing guidelines apply whenever additional density occurs. Commissioner Fisher asked the listing price for the property. Ms. Jones stated that the dollar amount had not been decided. Commissioner Fisher stated that the value of providing work force housing with future development is not something the county can back away from and believed the payment was appropriate. Chairman Runyon asked the required payment amount. Mr. Potente stated that the required in-lieu of payment would be $60,000. Chairman Runyon wondered about the guidelines when dealing with units of three or fewer. Mr. Potente stated that it was at the board's discretion whether a file meets the guidelines of the housing guidelines. He believed this was a fair compromise. Commissioner Menconi move to approve File No. 5MB-1274 and authorize the Chairman to sign the plat, including the suggested condition as presented by staff. Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. Chairman Runyon stated that he'd like to have further discussion as to size of files for which the housing regulations apply. SUGGESTED CONDITION 1.
