FILE NO./PROCESS: PROJECT NAME: LOCATION: OWNER: APPLICANT: REPRESENTATIVE: PDS-00054; PUD Sketch Plan Bair Family Subdivision PUD 675 Frying Pan Road, Basalt Virginia and Lowell Bair Owners Doug Dotson 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY OF REQUEST: This PUD Sketch Plan proposal is to subdivide the 1O.37-acre; 'Agricultural Residential' zoned property into six (6) single-family residential lots ranging from 0.365 acres to 0.587 acres in size and a 7.88-acre common open space parcel (one dwelling unit per 1.73 acres). One of the six lots proposed encompasses an existing single-family residence. The Applicant has entered into a contractual agreement with the Town of Basalt to provide extraterritorial municipal water service to all of the six proposed lots. The Basalt Sanitation District will provide sanitation sewer service; a 'will serve' letter from the District is included in the application. The subject property is situated on a south-facing hillside adjacent to the eastern end of the Town of Basalt and on the north side of Frying Pan Road. The site ranges between a 3% slope to over 50% slope. The existing home site is situated near the bottom of the hillside in an area ofless than 15 % to over 30% slopes and is visually buffered from the Frying Pan Road by other development. Three of the five new lots proposed are also situated at the bottom of the hillside in an area consisting of slopes ranging from less than 30% to 35%. These three lots are also visually buffered from the Frying Pan Road by existing development. The remaining two proposed new lots are situated at the top ofthe hillside on slopes ranging from 15% to 30% and are highly visible from the Frying Pan Road. To mitigate visual impacts that will be realized by the proposed development, the application proposes the use of building envelopes on all six lots, as well as, architectural and site design guidelines. The upper two lots will be subject to additional architectural control restrictions over exterior finish materials, exterior colors, roofs, windows, skylights and landscaping with the intent of blending the proposed new development into the natural landscape and hillside backdrop to the greatest extent practicable. Additionally, maximum home size on each of the proposed lots is capped at 3,000 square feet of habitable floor area with the exception of the existing single-family residence, which is 3,900 square feet. Access to the four lots proposed on the lower portion of the subject property is via Frying Pan Road and an existing private access that currently serves the existing home site. The western end of the existing access drive ties into Sopris Drive and will require realignment. The realigned access drive will also improve access to two existing 7 09/30/08 residences located adjacent to the west boundary of the subject property. All private property owners affected by the access realignment have submitted letters indicating that they are potentially agreeable. Access to the two upper lots is via Sopris Drive, Cedar Drive and Basalt Mountain Road. A.

CHRONOLOGYIBACKGROUND: September 1996: Subject property and the residential property adjacent to the southeast corner of the site were subdivided into their current configuration by the Grant-Smith Type A Minor Subdivision; Application made to county for this PUD Sketch Plan Application. Application deemed complete following several sufficiency reviews. June 12, 2006: May 13,2008: C. PLANNING COMMISSION DELIBERATION SUMMARY & MOTION: On September 4th and September 18th, 2008 the Roaring Fork Valley Regional Planning Commission heard the proposed application and ultimately recommended approval of the proposed PUD Sketch Plan with conditions recommended by Staff in a 3:1 vote. During deliberations the Planning Commissioner's offered the following comments: ./' Concern that running new infrastructure across the site to serve the two proposed 'upper' lots will leave a visual scar on the landscape. ./' Requested that to the greatest extent practicable that water, electric, gas, etc. all be buried in the same trench. ./' The proposal must comply with the County's Affordable Housing Guidelines as adopted by the BoCC last Spring. 8 09/30/08 ./ The subject property is located immediately adjacent to the Town of Basalt and in proximity to public infrastructure making the location appropriate for additional density. ./ The one Planning Commissioner that voted against the proposal feels that the density proposed is too great for the site given the topography and access. 2. STAFF REPORT A. NECESSARY FINDINGS: PROCESS INTENT ECLUR Section: 5-240/5-280 Sketch Plan; Section Purpose: Standards: The purpose of sketch plan review is for the applicant, the County and the public to evaluate and discuss the basic concepts for development of the proposed PUD, and to consider whether development of the property as a PUD will result in a significant improvement over its development as a conventional subdivision. It is the time when determination should be made as to whether the proposed PUD complies with the purpose and intent of these Regulations and with the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan and is generally compatible with surrounding 'land uses. It is also the opportunity to reach general agreement on such issues as the appropriate range of units and commercial space for development; the types of use, dimensional limitations and other variations that may be considered; the general locations intended for development and the areas planned to remain undeveloped; the general alignments for access; and whether water supply and sewage disposal will be provided via on-site systems or through connection to public systems. The outcome of sketch plan review should be an identification of issues and concerns the applicant must address if the project is ultimately to receive approval for a Preliminary Plan for PUD from the County. Where the PUD proposes activities that constitute a subdivision, the applications for Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plan for PUD shall also be required to meet the requirements of Section 5-280, Subdivision, regarding procedures for Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plan for Subdivision, respectively. Section 5-240.F.3.e., Standards; Section 5-280.B.3.e Standards and Section 5- 230.D Standards is used to evaluate a Sketch & Preliminary Plan for PUD (with subdivision) application. All standards that would be met at a Preliminary Plan level must addressed by the application materials. It must therefore be determined, based on submitted evidence, whether applicable standards have been met at this stage. If the information supplied is found to be sufficiently vague or if it is doubtful that the proposal would be able to meet a specific Standard, then a negative finding must be made for that Standard. STANDARD: Unified ownership or control. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (1)] - The title to all land that is part of a PUD shall be owned or controlled by one (1) person. A person shall be considered to control all lands in the PUD either through ownership or by written consent of all owners of the land that they will be subject to the conditions and standards of the PUD. The subject property is owned by Virginia and Lowell Bair. ~ EXCEEDS MINIMUM STANDARDS X MEETS MINIMUM STANDARDS MEETS THE MAJORITY OF MINIMUM STANDARDS DOES NOT MEET MINIMUM STANDARDS 9 09/30/08 STANDARD: Uses.

The District is also satisfied with the proposal's conformance with the County's wildfire regulations, fire fighting water supply and commitment that all new construction be fitted with an automatic fire suppression system. X2 - The proposed access road does not meet current Eagle County design standards thus requiring variations from minimum roadway width. The attached Engineering Department Memorandum dated August 25,2008 indicates that Engineering supports the variations because the end result will provide the advantage of creating a safer access for the existing residences as well as the present and future residences on the subject property by relocation and consolidation of the western terminus of the private access drive. The same holds true for the eastern end of the private access drive; the application proposes to straighten this access onto Frying Pan Road, effectively creating a 90 degree intersection and moving it further away from the large curve located east on Prying Pan Road. This will increase the sight distance for this access. Through the PUD process, the Board of County Commissioners has the discretion to grant 'deviations' to the strict application of the regulations. ~ EXCEEDS MINIMUM STANDARDS MEETS MINIMUM STANDARDS X MEETS THE MAJORITY OF MINIMUM STANDARDS DOES NOT MEET MINIMUM STANDARDS STANDARD: Improvements. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (8)] - The improvement standards applicable to the development shall be as specified in Article 4, Division 6, Imvrovements Standards. Provided, however, the development may deviate from the County's road standards, so the development achieves greater efficiency of infrastructure design and installation through clustered or compact forms of development or achieves greater sensitivity to environmental impacts, when the following minimum design principles are followed: (a) Safe, Efficient Access. The circulation system is designed to provide safe, convenient access to all areas of the proposed development using the minimum practical roadway length. Access shall be by a public right-ol-way, private vehicular or pedestrian way or a commonly owned easement. No roadway alignment, either horizontal or vertical, shall be allowed that compromises one (1) or more of the minimum design standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) for that functional classification of roadway. (b) Internal Pathways. Internal pathways shall be provided to form a logical, safe and convenient system for pedestrian access to dwelling units and common areas, with appropriate linkages off- site. (c) Emergency Vehicles. Roadways shall be designed to permit access by emergency vehicles to all lots or units. An access easement shall be granted for emergency vehicles and utility vehicles, as applicable, to use private roadways in the development for the purpose of providing emergency services and for installation, maintenance and repair of utilities. (d) Principal Access Points. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to provide for smooth traffic flow, minimizing hazards to vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Where a PUD abuts a major collector, arterial road or highway, direct access to such road or highway from individual lots, units or buildings shall not be permitted. Minor roads within the PUD shall not be directly connected with roads outside of the PUD, unless the County determines such connections are necessary to maintain the County's road network. (e) Snow Storage. Adequate areas shall be provided to store SIWW removed from the internal street network and from off- street parking areas. 13 09/30/08 Safe, Efficient Internal Emergency Principal Access Pathways Vehicles Access Pts ....!!"~ Exceeds ECLUR Requirements Satisfies ECLlJR Requirements Xl X2 X3 X Does Not Satisfy ECLUR Requirement Not Applicable/No ECLUR X Requirement DeviationIVIS Requested Xl X3 XI, 2 & 3 - Reference the Eagle County Engineering Department Memorandum dated August 25,2008 and the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District response dated August 15,2008.

SUMMARY ANALYSIS: Benefits/Disadvantages Benefits: · The subject property is located immediately adjacent to the Town of Basalt in walkable proximity to transit service, restaurants, grocers, businesses, etc. and is already serviced by Town water, and roads. · The proposed development is consistent with existing development in the immediate surrounding vicinity and would provide a logical transition in land use as one progresses outward from the Town's center up the Frying Pan Road. · The Basalt & Rural FPD would be provided better access to existing development due to roadway improvements necessitated by the development. · Attainable, deed restricted single-family residential units will become available adjacent to the Town of Basalt. · The proposal includes protecting a highly visible 7. 88-acre natural hillside in a Conservation Easement, which will aid in preserving the natural beauty and environmental integrity of Eagle County. Disadvantaees: · Any additional development on the steep hillside would incrementally degrade the natural beauty and environmental integrity in this vicinity of Eagle County. · Allowing five additional single-family homes on the 10.37-acre property will introduce five times more exposure to geologic natural hazards, wildfire potential and wildlife impacts than what exists currently. · Approximately 50 additional vehicle trips per day will be generated upon buildout.

DISCUSSION: Mr. Narracci presented the applicant's request and the staff findings as presented in the staff report. The PUD sketch plan proposed to subdivide lO.37 - acres into 6 single-family residential lots. He provided several photos of the site. The property is situated on a south-facing hillside adjacent to the eastern end of the Town of Basalt and on the north side of Frying Pan Road. The Basalt Sanitation District would be providing sanitation sewer services. He presented the referral responses as presented in his staff report. The Roaring Fork Valley Regional Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed development by a vote of 3 to I. The one Planning Commissioner that voted against the proposal felt that the proposed density was too great for the site given the topography and access. Mr. Narracci indicated that the proposal met a majority of minimum land use regulation requirements and was consistent with the spirit and intent of the Eagle County comprehensive plan and the Mid-Valley Area Community Plan. He presented the board's options and stated that staff had recommended 8 conditions. Virginia Bair, the applicant spoke. She provided a brief history of the property. Her great-grandfather bought the property in 1906. The property had changed hands several times over the past 60 years. Her parents bought the property in 1966 and it's been in her family ever since. She loves the property and has deep roots in the community. She stated that she was not ready to sell out and would like some of the property to be available for her grandchildren in the future. Doug Dotson, representative for the applicant spoke. He believed that the applicant had answered many of the neighbor's questions and addressed any concerns. Presently the property zoning is consistent with the zoning found further up the Frying Pan Road or large ranch subdivisions. He believed that the proposal would not scar the hillside and used the site effectively. The applicant worked with the Fire District to address access issues and there would be water storage tanks on the property for fire protection services. The development in terms of design, height restrictions, size restrictions, etc., is consistent with the county standards. Chairman Runyon opened and closed public comment, as there was none. Commissioner Fisher asked about the existing house on the property. Ms. Bair stated that she rented the house. She and her husband intend on building a home for themselves. Commissioner Fisher stated that there had been letters from the neighbors concerning driveway access. She wondered if those concerns had been addressed. Mr. Bair stated that there might have been a misunderstanding with one of the neighbors however, the other neighbors had agreed with the proposed driveway concept. Commissioner Fisher asked Mr. Narracci to explain how the housing guidelines were being incorporated into the development. Mr. Narracci stated that Mr. Potente had given the applicant three different ways they could adjust the housing plan to satisfy the guidelines. The applicant just needs determine which of the options works best for them. He believed it was possible for the applicant with minor modifications to meet the guidelines. Commissioner Menconi stated that he had no questions on the file. 28 09/30/08 Chairman Runyon asked about the property boundary and wondered if the applicant had ever looked into annexing the property to the Town of Basalt. Mr. Narracci stated that the Town did not want to go against their own urban growth boundary and annex the property however did agree to supply water. He stated that there was a detailed response in the Board's packet. Chairman Runyon stated that because this was only a sketch plan he was inclined to approve the application but he would like the preliminary plan application to be held in Basalt so that the community had a chance to weigh in. He also suggested a site visit prior to the hearing. He asked if there was any plan for the open space. Mr. Dotson stated that currently there were no plans. He had contacted the Aspen Valley Land Trust however, they've expressed little interest. Mr. Bair stated that their goal was to preserve the property for the future. Commissioner Fisher asked if there was a response from the Division of Wildlife. Mr. Narracci stated that they did not respond. Mr. Dotson stated that it was the applicant's intent to keep some area open for wildlife. Commissioner Fisher stated that it was important to maintain and protect the open space area. She believed there were still some unanswered questions that needed to be worked on. Mr. Potente stated that the application had been prepared with the 2003 version of the housing guidelines and had exceeded those requirements. There were only a couple minor modifications needed to meet the current housing guideline requirements. Commissioner Fisher asked the applicant to consider deed-restricted units for the working community. She believed a site visit was appropriate and wished the applicant luck moving forward. Commissioner Fisher moved to approve File No. PDS-00054; PUD Sketch Plan Bair Family Subdivision PUD incorporating the staff findings and including the suggested conditions as outlined in staff's report, pg. 25 of 25. 1.
