Mr.Montag asked Gordon Adams to talk briefly about item H.
Mr. Adams stated that the county was trying to reduce duplication of services. The county would provide
snow removal services on certain roads and bill Garfield County. Eagle County currently had a verbal agreement
with Route County for Poppy Creek Road.
Ms. Collier spoke about item G. The agreement was for the purchase of two buses.

Citizen Input
Chairman Stavney opened and closed citizen Input, as there was none.
Agreement between Eagle County Landfill and Vail Honeywagon Enterprises, Inc.
for Transport of Recyclable Material
Ken Whitehead, Solid Waste and Recycling
Mr.Whitehead explained that the service was fee funded. In November,they sent out a request for
proposals for vendors to provide this service. They received 3 proposals. All 3 firms appeared to be qualified and
capable of doing the work requested, however,Vail Honeywagon Enterprises, Inc.was selected for the contract as
they had a proven service record in the Eagle Valley for 34 years.
Don Vandevander, General Manager of Mountain Refuse,Inc. of Gypsum spoke. He questioned the bid
proposal by Vail Honeywagon. He spoke about MRI's experience with other municipalities. He wondered if the
county was willing to spend more to keep the current vendor. He hoped the board would review the RFP and
reconsider the contract.
Chairman Stavney believed the county valued market competition. Vail Honeywagon was a local vendor
and had 34 years of experience. Staff was not required to get bids. It was difficult balance but relied on staff to
make the choice between dollars,relationships and experience.
Commissioner Ryan explained that she wanted the best value for Eagle County,which doesn't always
mean the lowest price. She stated there were two qualified vendors,noting that MRI operates in many locales
regionally,but that she preferred Vail Honeywagon because they had been the previous contractor. She also noted
that the references provided by MRI were dated.
Chairman Stavney stated that this was annual process and encouraged MRI to continue bidding.
Mr.Vandervander believed his company had enough experience to handle municipal contracts and
requested that there be more clarification in the bid process in the future.
Commissioner Ryan moved to approve the agreement between Eagle County and Vail Honeywagon
Enterprises, Inc. for Transport of Recyclable Material.
Chairman Stavney seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners,the vote was declared
unanimous.
Commissioner Ryan moved to adjourn as the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners and re-
convene as the Eagle County Local Liquor Licensing Authority.
Commissioner Stavney seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners,the vote was declared
unanimous.

Scot Hunn,Planning
Dominic Mauriello,Applicant's Representative
NOTE: Tabled from 10/30/12 and 1/15/13
ACTION: The purpose of this Planned Unit Development(PUD)Amendment is to amend the PUD Guide
document, last amended in 1994,to change the land use designation of Lot 1,Tract M,Beaver
Creek 4th Filing, from"Resort Services"(RS)to"Resort Commercial One"(RC1); specifically to
permit residential uses on Lot 1 in the future.
LOCATION: Beaver Creek PUD; Tract `M',Lot 1 (Fire Station Site); 185 Elk Track Road'
FILE NO./PROCESS: PDA-3869,Beaver Creek PUD Amendment
PROJECT NAME: Beaver Creek Planned Unit Development
LOCATION: Tract M,Lot 1,Filing No.4
OWNER: Beaver Creek Metropolitan District
APPLICANT: Beaver Creek Metropolitan District
REPRESENTATIVE: Dominic Mauriello,Mauriello Planning Group, LLC.
STAFF PLANNER: Scot Hunn
STAFF ENGINEER: Ben Gerdes
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Applicant requests review of an amendment to the Beaver Creek Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the
following purpose:
1. To change the land use designation for Lot 1, Tract M (current site of the Beaver Creek Fire Station) from
"Resort Services"(RS)to"Resort Commercial One"(RC1), specifically to permit certain residential uses.
BACKGROUND:
In 1978, Beaver Creek became the first Planned Unit Development approved in unincorporated Eagle County.
However,the PUD Guide for Beaver Creek was not approved until 1983.The PUD authorizes 3,161 dwelling units
4
01/22/2013
and 380,000 square feet of commercial uses on 2,161 acres of land. Since 1983, the PUD has been amended twice;
once in 1988 and again in 1994 to address changing conditions and specific land use designations within the PUD.
Land Use Designations
The Beaver Creek PUD Guide divides the PUD into six(6) land use designations: Resort Commercial(RC); Resort
Commercial One (RC1); Resort Services (RS); Residential Medium Density (RMD); Residential Low Density
(RLD); and Open Space Recreation (OSR). Each of the land use designations allows for a range of "Uses by
Right". As well, OSR allows for myriad uses via special use permit. According to the PUD Guide, any change in
land use designation of any land within the PUD shall constitute a "substantial modification, removal or release"
from the provisions of the PUD.
The current request to change the land use designation on Lot 1 is directly linked to the history of Tract M (Lots 1
and 2), and is precipitated by changing conditions and needs of the resort. Lots 1 and 2 were created in 1984 when
Tract M was subdivided. Originally designated Resort Services (RS), Lot 1 and adjacent Lot 2 provided land for
resort support and operations facilities, including the Fire Station (on Lot 1) and the Beaver Creek Service Center
(on Lot 2, where resort operations such as snow cats and warehousing resided until the mid-2000's). The land use
designation for Lot 2 was amended from Resort Services to Resort Commercial One-to allow for residential uses -
in 1994 as part of a larger PUD amendment proposal. As part of that amendment, Tract M was allocated with 38
dwelling units.
Lot 2 has since been sold and developed(in the mid-2000's) into 26 residential units under the name"The Custom
Homes at Village Walk", while the Beaver Creek Service Center was relocated to another location to the south of
Tract M. However, the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District (Applicant and owner of Lot 1) continues to own the
Beaver Creek Fire Station, while contracting with the Eagle River Fire Protection District to provide fire and
emergency services. There are currently twelve (12) dwelling units allocated or remaining for Tract M and the
Applicant proposes to change the land use designation on Lot 1 to provide for flexibility in the future.
As described within the application,
"The Beaver Creek fire station is becoming inadequate to serve the needs of Beaver Creek It was
built nearly thirty years ago, it cannot accommodate the size of fire trucks needed, and the physical
state of the building is rapidly deteriorating. The BCMD Board is exploring its options for a new
fire station, which is estimated to cost between $4 and$5 million. One option would be to rebuild
on the current site and fund the new building with a bond issue, to be repaid by property taxes.
Another option would be to find a new site for the station and sell the current land to a developer.
The proceeds from that sale would fund the new station, without the need for taxpayer money."
Amending the PUD to change the land use designation on Lot 1 to RC1 allows the flexibility sought by the
Applicant. For instance, RCI permits those uses allowed for within the RS land use designation, in addition to
residential and commercial uses. The purpose of the Resort Services land use designation is:
"To provide support functions and facilities for resort operations and recreational activities and
facilities consistent with the needs of a year-round resort."
Uses by right in RS include resort operations space and facilities, as well as residential uses associated with
caretaker and employee housing needs of any such facilities. Historically, this is exactly how Lot 1 has been used,
with a fire station and living quarters for on-duty personnel. This designation also allows for recreational amenities
and facilities. There are no setbacks required except those adequate to accommodate such things as utilities,
easements and drainage.Building heights are limited to thirty-five(35')feet.
Resort Commercial One allows for a wider range of residential, commercial, recreational and operational uses. The
purpose of RC1 is:
"To provide a flexible zone allowing for transition from Resort Services uses to Resort Commercial
uses as the Resort matures."
5
01/22/2013
As a transitional zone, RC 1 allows for a range of residential and commercial uses permitted as "Uses by Right" in
the Resort Services and Resort Commercial land use designations,including:
•Hotel and lodge rooms;
•Apartment accommodations;
•Commercial space;
•Condominiums;
•Single-family,primary/secondary, duplex and townhouse structures
•Timesharing
•Recreation amenities
•Resort operations space and facilities
Setbacks in RC1 are the same as Resort Services, where there is "no minimum setback except to accommodate
utilities, existing easements, drainage, access,fire code regulations and flood plain of live streams." The height
limitations within RC1 are forty-five(45') feet. However,the Applicant proposes to limit building heights on Lot
1 to thirty-five (35') and to enforce a twenty-five (25') foot setback from Beaver Creek, similar to the
residences constructed on Lot 2.
Input from Adjacent Property Owners
As referenced within this report, Eagle County has received official correspondence from Goodman and Wallace,
P.C., representing The Custom Homes at Village Walk Home Owner's Association with regard to the matter of
future development standards and controls on Lot 1. Such correspondence reflects the concerns of the HOA
(compatibility of uses and density for any future re-development of Lot 1, access issues and construction
mitigation) and, therefore, has prompted several revisions to the proposed new PUD language specific to Tract M,
Lots 1 and 2(see attached letter from Dominic Mauriello,Mauriello Planning Group,LLC, dated October 1,2012).
Staff believes the revised language provides additional and appropriate development control for Lot 1 —to be more
in keeping with existing development on Lot 2. The revised PUD language addresses issues related to future
development density(capping density on Tract M to 32 dwelling units in total, including 26 existing units on Lot 2
and allowing six additional units on Lot 1); construction mitigation; use restrictions (significantly limiting the range
of potential uses normally allowed as "Uses by Right" in the RC1 land use designation); and, future access
(requiring future access for ski resort operations across Lot 1, which will alleviate traffic which currently accesses
Beaver Creek Mountain facilities via The Custom Homes at Village Walk).
Planning Commission Deliberation
The Eagle County Planning Commission met on two separate occasions to consider the proposed amendment: once
on October 17, 2012, and again on December 19, 2012 to consider the request.
At their regular meeting of October 17, 2012, the Planning Commission considered the request, with certain
members expressing concern regarding the change in zoning for Lot 1 relative to the potential relocation of the
Beaver Creek Fire Station. Members questioned the potential impacts to designated Open Space within the PUD if
the Fire Station were to be relocated as a result of re-zoning Lot 1. Therefore, the hearing was tabled at the request
of the Applicant in order to allow the Applicant sufficient time to provide the Commission members with additional
information specific to potential new sites for the Fire Station (if the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District elects to
pursue relocation in the future).
At their regular meeting on December 19, 2012, the Applicant presented information regarding designated open
space within the PUD (the amounts and the two different types — `Open Space Recreation' and `Open Space
Greenbelt'). Importantly, the Applicant presented three potential sites throughout the PUD that the Metropolitan
District has investigated (based on availability of property) within the Core area where the Fire Station could be
relocated. Of the three sites,the most viable property identified by the Metropolitan District at this time is generally
located near the existing Beaver Creek Service Center, south of the Beaver Creek residential area and just north of
an existing water tank located along a service road. The new site would be located within the "Open Space
6
01/22/2013
Recreation" zoning designation, which permits myriad `Resort operations space and facilities' improvements such
as a Fire Station(necessary for the proper functioning of a ski resort)as a use `by right'.
The Planning Commission considered such new information and inquired about access to the site using the existing
service road which is currently used for access to the water tank (by the Upper Eagle River Regional Water
Authority) as well as the viability of construction on the potential site (given access grades, distance to water and
wetland bodies, as well as geologic or soils conditions, etc). After hearing from the Applicant with regard to pre-
planning activities such addressing the conditions of the existing service road and conducting geotechnical
investigations (to be undertaken in the event that the Fire Station is relocated to the site), the Commission
deliberated regarding the amendment as well as the future site of the Fire Station. Certain Commission members
expressed general concerns with regard to the potential relocation of the Fire Station, response times, and the
potential loss of open space. However, the staff attorney advised the Commission members to consider the PUD
Amendment on its merits. Specifically, staff advised that any action by the Commission regarding the request for
amendment not be conditioned on any potential relocation of the Fire Station (as such relocation is not being
applied for at this time).
The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the PUD Amendment request, adding one
condition: that the County(either via building permit review or Location and Extent) review any new development
permit for a relocated Fire Station.

Home Owners Associations: Beaver Creek Home Owner's Association; The Custom Homes at Village Walk
Home Owner's Association.
SUMMARY ANALYSIS:
The proposed amendment was specifically referred to the Home Owner's Association for The Custom Homes at
Village Walk. Likewise, adjacent property owner notification was sent to all home owners within the Beaver Creek
PUD. The file has been thoroughly vetted with those parties most affected and, with the exception of several well-
thought out revisions to the proposed PUD language for Tract M (as proposed by the Home Owner's Association at
The Custom Homes at Village Walk), staff suggests the proposal meets the required findings for a PUD
Amendment and generally presents no adverse conditions needing mitigation (beyond typical development
standards and requirements that will be imposed via the Beaver Creek Design Review process and the Eagle
County Building Permit process).
Although the Applicant has provided concept sketches of potential future development scenarios for Lot 1 as well
as conceptual information regarding a potential new Fire Station location, staff believes the PUD Amendment
should be judged on the merits of whether or not the standards for a PUD Preliminary Amendment are or can be
met. Future development scenarios, while helpful in considering the likelihood and feasibility of future
development, will ultimately be scrutinized through the Beaver Creek Design Review Process, as well as the Eagle
County development review(building permit)process.
Therefore, staff believes it is important to consider the proposed change in land use designation (and the proposed
limitations to be placed on any future development on Lot 1) in general context to the site's appropriateness for
residential uses, and/or continued resort services uses, given: the overall intent of the Beaver Creek PUD; the
historic fire station uses; the historic impacts from Tract M such as traffic; and, the uses on adjacent properties.
With such factors in mind, staff considers the proposed change in land use designation to be compatible with
surrounding land uses. Further, the change will allow the Applicant the flexibility to pursue the best option for
replacement of an aging,yet important resort services facility within the Beaver Creek Resort.
Staff finds that all standards for a PUD Amendment have been or can be met and that, as proposed, the revised
PUD language for Tract M,Lots 1 and 2,will place the appropriate controls on future development and use of Lot 1
to ensure compatibility, continued access for Beaver Creek Resort operations through Tract M, and continued
protection of Beaver Creek.
SUGGESTED FINDINGS:
Staff suggests the application meets the following fmdings necessary for the approval of any PUD Amendment:
(1) Modification. The modification, removal, or release IS consistent with the efficient development and
preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development;
(2) Adjacent Properties. The PUD Amendment DOES NOT effect, in a substantially adverse manner, either
the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across a street from the Planned Unit Development or the public
interest;
(3) Benefit.The PUD Amendment IS NOT granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person.

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, Improvement 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-of-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 snow removed from the internal street network
and from off-street parking areas.

relevant master plans during sketch plan review is on a broad conceptual level, i.e, how a proposal compares to
basic planning principles. As a development proposal moves from sketch plan to preliminary plan review, its
conformance or lack thereof to aspects of the master plans may not necessarily remain static.

DISCUSSION:
Mr.Mauriello spoke on behalf of the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District(BCMD). He introduced the
General Manager, Clyde Hanks.
Present—BCMD Board Members, Ernie Elsner,Luke Reagan,Mike Balk,Jim Power, and Tim Baker, Executive
Director of the Beaver Creek Resort Company was also present.
Mr.Mauriello presented a PowerPoint presentation. The amendment would allow residential uses on the
fire station site. The idea was to sell the property and fund a new fire station elsewhere. The station was 30 years
old and was not large enough to handle a ladder truck on site. The property was currently zoned Resort Services.
The amendment would change the zoning to Resort Commercial I. The new zoning would allow hotels, lodges, and
residential. BCMD mailed letters to all owners within Beaver Creek and met with the property owners most
affected. The plan would limit density to 6 dwelling units, address drainage issues and allow for a new access
easement for Mountain Operations. There would be no construction traffic on Village Road. He presented
development concepts. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the file. When considering locations for
the new fire station, fire service and response time were key issues. The new proposed site for the station was up
the street from Elk Track Road, adjacent to some resort services. It would add about 90 seconds to the response
time.
Mr. Hunn stated that the criteria had been met.The applicant would have to return for a building permit.
Commissioner Ryan wondered if the increased response time would be a public safety issue.
Mr. Hanks stated that they were well within their response guidelines.
Mr. Balk stated that insurance premiums would change.
Mr. Elsner believed that having a ladder truck was an important addition to the Beaver Creek core.
Mr.Power expressed support for the proposal.
Chairman Stavney believed that Beaver Creek Metro was currently getting a great deal with Eagle River
Fire but understood that having their own ladder truck would allow them to be better prepared to handle fires in the
core of Beaver Creek. He hoped that there would be future conversations with the Eagle River Fire regarding risk
management.
Mr.Montag asked about suggested condition number 4 regarding review by Eagle County.
Mr. Hunn stated that the Planning Commission requested the condition. It related to building permit
review.

Mr.Montag wondered if it would be necessary to amend the current service plan.
Mr. flanks stated that the service plan would not be amended in any way.
Commissioner Fisher asked about any feedback regarding the increased response time.
Mr. Hanks stated that the topic had been discussed but seemed to be a non-issue.
Chairman Stavney opened and closed public comment, as there was none.
Commissioner Fisher moved to approve file no. PDA-3869 Beaver Creek PUD Amendment with
conditions.
Commissioner Ryan seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
