County,the developer, and the DPW based upon existing conditions, in particular, snow depths.The Conservation
Easement will include language that matches this condition.
Colorado Geological Survey:
3)Prior to Final Plat approval for development on the south side of Interstate-70, and immediately following
Preliminary Plan approval,a minimum of two inclinometers and a series of piezometers shall be installed and
monitored at least once per quarter until application for each respective Final Plat. This data should be evaluated for
global and post-development stability by the applicant's geotechnical engineer and submitted for review with the
Final Plat for each phase.To the extent reasonably feasible, data from existing inclinometers and piezometers
located south of the subject property should likewise be collected on a quarterly basis.Based upon the data
collected the road alignments, lot location and lot configurations may need to be revised to avoid areas of
instability.
4)Building envelopes shall be defined on lots south of Interstate-70,where slope gradients on any portion of the lot
exceed 25%in Planning Areas PA-1,PA-2,PA-3, and PA-4.
5)Written restrictions,within the PUD Guide and on the respective applicable Final Plat(s) shall be clarified to
exclude `active' recreational uses,uses that allow significant grading, or the construction of occupied structures

4
10/02/2013
water storage tank may be required within one of the following planning areas(PA-23,PA-24,PA-25,PA-26, and
PA-27). In the event that a buried water storage tank is required within one of these planning areas,then it shall be
subject to site specific hydraulic and geologic analyses.
6)Concurrent with each applicable Final Plat south of Interstate-70, grading plans shall be evaluated for slope
stability by a geotechnical engineer; a slope stability analysis shall be prepared for permanent and temporary cuts or
fills greater than five feet in height, or in areas where grading is proposed and existing slope gradients are 25%or
greater; stormwater drainage plans shall be reviewed by the Applicant's Geotechnical Engineer.
7)Within Planning Area PA-2,which is a proposed large lot subdivision,the geotechnical evaluation shall be done
prior to issuance of building permits, grading permits,or driveway permits.
8) Soil constraints relative to public improvements will require additional testing and evaluation; these concerns
shall be addressed prior to approval of each respective Final Plat.For individual buildings, a site-specific soils and
foundation investigation shall be required prior to building permit issuance for every building.
Engineering Department:
9)Applicant will fully fund an Engineering Services Contract up to $200,000 for a US 6 Corridor Access Control
Plan as defined by CDOT. Project limits will include the western boundary at the Town of Eagle to the eastern
boundary at Squaw Creek Road and north to Landfill Road on SH131.Funds will be provided by the applicant at
the time of Request for Qualification(RFQ)award,but no earlier than March 2014, and be deposited into an Eagle
County Escrow Account. If Eagle County does not award the RFQ contract within 4 years of PUD approval,the
Applicant will be released from this condition. Eagle County will be fully responsible for the management of the
US 6 Corridor Access Control Plan Project.
10)A major vision for the Wolcott PUD is the relocation of US Hwy 6, and improvement to the Interstate-70
Wolcott Interchange ramp improvement. Prior to approval of the first Final Plat,the CDOT shall approve, and the
Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) shall concur with,the Minor Interchange Modification Request
(MIMR). CDOT shall approve the relocation of US Hwy 6.
11)As the applicant on the CDOT 1601 process and the associated Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)
Minor Interchange Modification Request(MIMR)process, Eagle County is obligated to make the improvements
identified in the approved Minor Interchange Modification Request(MIMR) and System Level Traffic Study.
Concurrent with application for the first Final Plat for PUD which incorporates Phase I infrastructure,the Wolcott
PUD should include all on-site improvements and direct access requirements identified in the MIMR and System
Level Traffic Study.
12) The current PUD Guide and Allowable Use Table allow land uses that generate much higher traffic than was
analyzed in the November 2012 System Level. Any proposed changes in land use that differ from the land uses that
were analyzed in the November 2012 System Level Traffic Study for Wolcott PUD will include a new traffic
analysis to ensure compliance with the ECLUR.
13)Final engineering of the proposed roadways, intersections, and accesses depicted in the traffic study and
conceptual site plan has not yet been completed and will require Engineering Department approval. However,the
location and geometry of the proposed access points on US Highway 6 has been completed. Engineering
considerations may necessitate minor changes to the Applicant's access geometry,but not access locations on US
Highway 6. Approval of the traffic study and improvement concepts does not constitute approval of any design
variances implied in the Applicant's proposal. Adequate sight distance must be provided at all locations.Design
variances have been discussed and approved in a separate discussion with the Board of County Commissioners and
duly noted as part of the record.
14)East/West Parking Access and Old Town intersection will be constructed as a two-way stop control.After
construction, should traffic operations at this intersection no longer meet a Level of Service `D',the contingency
plan will be a right-in,right-out.
5
10/02/2013
15)The Applicant or Wolcott Metropolitan District agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of the Colorado
State Highway Access Code and be fully responsible for the design and construction of a westbound right turn
deceleration lane at the intersection of East Davis Way and U.S.Hwy 6 if and when warrant volumes are ever met.
16)The Applicant agrees to construct a single lane roundabout at the intersection of Bellyache Ridge Road and
Sporting Clay as part of their Phase 1 infrastructure. Final design must meet all County site development standards.
Fire Protection Districts:
17)The Eagle River FPD,and the Greater Eagle FPD recommend that fire hydrant locations be included in the
infrastructure construction plans.The Applicant shall further coordinate the location of fire hydrants with the
Districts to ensure adequate spacing and accessibility.Additional fire hydrants shall be provided at the intersections
of US Hwy 6, and W. Davis Way, Olde Town Avenue,the access into Tract 203 (PA-32), E.Davis Way and
Meadow Trail just outside the highway right-of-way as labeled on the Preliminary Plan Engineering drawings.
Additional fire hydrants shall also be provided along Bellyache Ridge Road near Lots 119 and 120(PA-5 and PA-
6).
18)The Eagle River FPD,and the Greater Eagle FPD indicate that site specific information is not presently
available for Lots 118, 119, 120, or Tracts 202 and 203 (PA-5,PA-6,PA-19,PA-14,PA-17,PA-21,PA-32). The
Districts reserve the right for a more extensive review of each of these parcels prior to their individual development.
The Applicant has been informed that additional hydrants may be warranted at that time depending on the size of
the buildings,type of construction, and accessibility for emergency vehicles. Site designs will also need to consider
the accessibility and routing of emergency vehicles.
19)The roadways for Preservation Way and Wolcott Lane shall be adjusted to provide a minimum travel width for
emergency vehicles of 20 feet. If the Applicant desires to maintain these roads for one-way traffic,then a portion of
the roadway may be striped for emergency use, or as a bicycle lane.
20)The Eagle River FPD, and the Greater Eagle FPD indicate that the roadway widths for W./E. Olde Town
Avenue,W./E.Woodson lane, and W./E.Bentley Lane are adequate provided that the Applicant includes a 60 foot
long, 6 foot wide Emergency Access pullout on the left hand side of each roadway at the mid-block. Each pullout
may be raised with a mountable curb and shall have a hardscape surface.
21)The parking lots on Tract 204(PA-10)as shown on the Preliminary Plan Engineering drawings shall be
interconnected with hardscape surfaces to allow emergency vehicles to travel between the parking lots. From west
to east,the 1st, 3rd, and 6th access shall be modeled and adjusted as necessary to provide sufficient ingress/egress
for a 75 foot Quint single-axel fire truck. The Applicant shall provide evidence that sufficient width is also
available for the Quint outrigger.
22)The Eagle River FPD and the Greater Eagle FPD indicate that if a restaurant or similar building is to be
constructed on Open Space 516 (PA-21)per the Preliminary Plan Engineering drawings,then emergency access
will be required to accommodate a District tool truck and ambulance.The maximum grade of the emergency access
shall not exceed 10%without approval by the Districts and the access shall be equipped with a hammerhead or
modified hammerhead turnaround.A standpipe shall be extended from Preservation Way down to the restaurant
which allows a District truck to pump fire protection water down to the firefighting team.
23)The Eagle River FPD and the Greater Eagle FPD indicate that Davis Loop will be converted to a dead-end road.
As such,the road shall have a minimum travel width for emergency vehicles of 20 feet and be equipped with a
hammerhead or modified hammerhead turnaround.
24)The Applicant or Metropolitan District will be responsible for implementation of the Snow Management Plan.
The Snow Management Plan has been revised in accordance with the Engineering Department memorandum dated
February 1, 2013.
6
10/02/2013
25)The Eagle River FPD and the Greater Eagle FPD indicate that all commercial,brownstones, and multi-family
buildings shall be equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems. Standpipe systems may also be required for
buildings three or more stories tall. The requirement for standpipes shall be individually assessed by the District at
the time of building permit application.
26)The Eagle River FPD and the Greater Eagle FPD indicate that a reduction in required fire-flow of up to 50%is
allowed by the Districts when the building is provided with an automatic fire sprinkler system. The resulting fire-
flow shall not be less than 1,500 gallons per minute for the prescribed duration as specified in Table B105.1 of the
International Fire Code. The potable water storage tanks shall reserve the same quantity for potable water for fire
protection use.Based on the Preliminary Potable Water Study, it appears that the maximum non-sprinkled rate
would be 3,500 gallons per minute for three hour duration.By using automatic fire sprinkler systems in the
commercial,brownstone, and multi-family buildings,this requirement can be reduced to 1,750 gallons per minute
for two hour duration.The equivalent fire protection storage would be 210,000 gallons.Also,the water used to
supply the automatic fire sprinkler systems does not have to be stored in addition to the 210,000 gallons,but instead
may be drawn from the average daily use storage.
Wildfire Mitigation:
27)Per the Wildfire Mitigation Manager;the Wildfire Hazard Assessment and Vegetation Management Plan
provided with the application calls for neighborhood specific wildfire mitigation hazard evaluations in Planning
Areas No. 1 and No. 3 as development plans are finalized. Since these two areas represent the portions of the PUD
most at risk from negative wildfire impacts, it will be important for the developer to look beyond site-clearing for
defensible space and fire resistant building construction. Vegetative fuel treatments(aka `fuel breaks') shall be
identified with each respective Final Plat for development in these areas. All wildfire mitigation measures shall be
accomplished in concert with the conservation easement values.
28)Per the Wildfire Mitigation Manager; as indicated during the Wolcott PUD Sketch Plan process, an important
element in the design of Planning Area PA-3 and Planning Area PA-1 is adherence to Section 4-620.J.1.h., Dual
Access of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations. Any proposal for development that requires access by a Rural
Cul-de-Sac shall be required to obtain a variance from Section 4-620.J.1.h.,Dual Access,as provided herein.The
first final plat that creates building lots within PA-1 or PA-3 shall include design drawings for an emergency access
connection to PA-4, or if possible,directly to Bellyache Ridge Road. The emergency access route should exit PA-1
and/or PA-3 at the southernmost location that is physically practical.This design shall be subject to review by
Eagle County and the relevant emergency service providers.Planning Area PA-2 shall include a secondary
emergency access connection to Bellyache Ridge Road.
Conservation Easements:
29)The applicant shall use its best efforts to ensure that the G. Jouflas riverfront parcel located adjacent to the west
side of the proposed PUD boundary be included in a Conservation Easement or subject to restrictive covenant upon
approval of the first Final Plat for the Wolcott PUD which incorporates Phase I infrastructure. The Conservation
Easement or restrictive covenant will protect and preserve the existing values and uses of the property including
open space,wetlands, and horse pasture. Approval of this PUD and any final plat shall not be withheld on the basis
of this condition as this property is not in the applicant's control.
ECO Trails/Eagle Valley Trail:
30)The segment of the Eagle Valley Trail required by the Wolcott PUD shall adhere to the approved route depicted
in Exhibit J to the PUD Agreement,the"Wolcott Eagle Valley Trail and River Access Plan",with minimal
deviation as necessary to accommodate proper engineering design.
31) On property owned by Applicant within the Wolcott PUD Boundary,Applicant shall be responsible for the cost
and preparation of any and all studies, clearance reports, and construction permits necessary or required by law to
allow construction of the Eagle Valley Trail, as more fully discussed in the PUD Agreement.
7
10/02/2013
The Applicant agrees to provide or fund the preparation of the required studies,clearance reports and permits in
order for Eagle County to apply for necessary permits on behalf of the Wolcott PUD for construction of the
Segments I and II of the Eagle Valley Trail across BLM property, as more fully discussed in the PUD Agreement.
The Applicant agrees to provide or fund the preparation of the required studies, clearance reports and permits in
order for Eagle County to apply for necessary permits on behalf of the Wolcott PUD for construction of Segment
III of the Eagle Valley Trail across CDOT property, as more fully discussed in the PUD Agreement.
Eagle County will apply for a permit on the Applicant's behalf for Applicant to construct the western end of the
trail across CDOT property. Eagle County will pay the cost of any additional or further studies necessary for the
trail from the western boundary of the PUD to the Highway 131 guardrail. Applicant agrees to cooperate fully and
provide pertinent study or clearance information for the Wolcott PUD to Eagle County to facilitate the permit
application.
Approval of the first Wolcott PUD Final Plat shall not be withheld or prevent the Applicant from developing and
constructing subsequent phases of the project if CDOT or BLM deny trail construction on their respective
properties.
32) Segments I and II of the Eagle Valley Trail(the"Trail") shall be constructed to meet regional trail construction
standards outlined in the Eagle Valley Regional Trails Plan and the Eagle County Land Use Regulation documents.
Necessary retaining walls and railings should be similar in design to existing trail system boulder walls,
mechanically stabilized earth walls(mse)and steel railings. The Trail shall be constructed in accordance with the
materials described in the construction plans,or any revisions or addendums thereto. In the event the Applicant
desires Eagle County to consider and accept possible substitutions or `equivalent items',materials or construction
for the Trail,application for such acceptance shall be submitted to Eagle County,together with complete data
substantiating compliance of the proposed substitution with the construction plans. Substitutions must be approved
in writing by Eagle County. Substitutions not properly approved shall be considered defective work.
Eagle County recognizes that Applicant will preserve a portion of the existing Highway 6 for use as the trail and
Applicant has no control over prior specifications or construction of the existing highway. Eagle County reserves
the right to inspect the highway section of trail and require asphalt patching or cracksealing as needed prior to
acceptance of the trail.
33) Eagle County shall approve the preliminary and final construction plans of Segments I, II and III of the Eagle
Valley Trail in its sole discretion. Eagle County shall have the right to inspect and approve the completed
construction of the Eagle Valley Trail, in its sole discretion.
34) Within the Wolcott PUD,the Applicant shall construct and dedicate the Eagle Valley Trail to the public of
Eagle County. As with other sections of the Eagle Valley Trail, Eagle County will hold the easement, own the
Eagle Valley Trail and be responsible for perpetual management and maintenance of the Eagle Valley Trail.The
Final Plat(s) for PUD,the PUD Guide, and the PUD Agreement must reflect the public trail dedication of the Eagle
Valley Trail, and the management/maintenance responsibilities for the Trail. The Eagle Valley Trail easement
shall be a minimum of 20 feet in width as a standard,with exceptions made where physically necessary, and shall
incorporate all construction items directly associated with the Eagle Valley Trail.
35) The Applicant shall cause G. Jouflas Ranches,LLC to execute an easement agreement acceptable to Eagle
County and shall further cause G.Jouflas Ranches, LLC and CJC Properties,LLP, or assigns, and/or an entity of
Applicant's to execute a ditch and trail improvement agreement, acceptable to Eagle County, for purposes of Eagle
Valley Trail construction east of the east end of the Wolcott PUD(see ditch location on attached Exhibit"D"). The
signed easement agreement and the ditch and trail improvement agreement, acceptable to Eagle County, shall be
provided by the Applicant prior to approval of the first Final Plat for the Wolcott PUD which incorporates Phase I
infrastructure.The Applicant is not responsible for any other Owner permission.
36)No motorized vehicles are allowed on the Eagle Valley Trail other than County-authorized maintenance
vehicles or emergency service vehicles.Five motorized trail crossings are approved with the Preliminary Plan
8
10/02/2013
subject to final design approval by Eagle County. The five crossings are for Eagle Springs Golf Club,River
Recreation Area Riverpark Hall,the G. Jouflas Property Access Crossing as shown on"Wolcott Eagle Valley Trail
and River Access Plan",to the Holland Creek Metropolitan District water intake and pump house, and to the
Jouflas Family barn. The Holland Creek Metropolitan District intake and pump house,as well as,the Jouflas
Family barn are located outside of, and to the west of the Planned Unit Development boundary. A sixth crossing
depicted as"Eagle County Eagle River Recreation Ramp"is subject to final review and approval by the BLM and
Eagle County.
NWCCOG:
37)The applicant shall provide a copy of the State of Colorado NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction sites to
the Eagle County Engineer prior to site disturbance.
Bureau of Land Management:
38)The Applicant should be advised that the adjacent public land has current permits for livestock grazing. Under
Colorado statutes, it is the owners' responsibility to construct, and maintain in good condition,a lawful fence
protecting their property in order to recover any damages from trespass livestock. Should any fence construction be
considered along a BLM boundary,the fence standards should allow for easy passage by big game, i.e.: less than
42"in height with a 12"kick space between the top two wires.
39)A portion of the development abuts a BLM parcel which includes the Wolcott Post Office and a portion of the
Eagle River, including the riparian corridor and floodplain.The Wolcott Post Office holds a perpetual right-of-way
from the BLM and access must be maintained until such time that the Post Office relinquishes its right-of-way.
ECO Trails has an application pending for a trail right-of-way across this parcel. There are two parking areas along
US Hwy 6 within the BLM parcel,and social trails extending down to the river to provide public access for fishing.
Because of the realignment of US Hwy 6,the public parking area is lost. Similar public access and parking must be
provided.BLM parcels adjacent to urban-type parks and urban interfaces are often difficult for the BLM to manage.
If the Post Office is moved and public access to the parcel is guaranteed,the BLM would be open to discussions of
a change in ownership for this parcel with Eagle County.
40)The BLM is not aware of the location of utilities for power,telephone, etc.to the property. If utilities are
proposed that would cross public land,the utility company will have to obtain right-of-way from the BLM
Colorado River Valley Field Office. An environmental assessment is required as part of the right-of-way permitting
process.
41)The Applicant shall prepare an all-inclusive Living with Wildlife Manual and distribute to all future property
owners within the Wolcott PUD. This is intended to educate future property owners regarding permitted
recreational and hunting uses on BLM lands adjacent to the Wolcott PUD Boundary, as well as,wildlife values,
Conservation Easements and riparian land restrictions,and domestic pet management within the PUD Boundary.
Eagle County Planning Commission Additional Conditions:
42)In the event that the applicant does not secure all necessary CDOT approvals to realign US Highway 6,then
this PUD Preliminary Plan; which is premised upon relocating US Highway 6,will become null and void, and the
applicant will need to submit a redesigned Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plan that does not include realignment of
US Highway 6. Likewise,the companion Zone Change and 1041 Permit applications will become null and void in
the event that the applicant does not secure all necessary CDOT approvals to realign US Highway 6.

SITTING AS THE EAGLE COUNTY
PERMIT AUTHORITY
RESOLUTION NO.2013-
1041 PERMIT RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL FOR SITE SELECTION AND CONSTRUCTION OF
MAJOR NEW DOMESTIC WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE,
AS WELL AS,THE EFFICIENT UTILIZATION OF
A MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL WATER PROJECT TO
SERVE THE WOLCOTT PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
AND SURROUNDING LANDS
11
10/02/2013
File Number 1041-4122
WHEREAS,on January 3, 2013,the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District(`ERWSD' and
`Applicant') submitted an application for 1041 Permitting to allow for Major New Domestic Water and Wastewater
Treatment Systems and Infrastructure, as well as,the Efficient Utilization of a Municipal and Industrial Water
Project,to serve the Wolcott Planned Unit Development(File No. PDP-3830),the Vines at Vail Planned Unit
Development(File No. 1041-0065), and other surrounding properties that are included within the District's Wolcott
service area(the"Project")and are currently served by private wastewater systems or currently zoned to allow
development density of less than 10 residential dwelling units; and
WHEREAS,the Wolcott PUD straddles the Interstate-70/Wolcott Interchange and is bisected by
Interstate-70. The PUD encompasses approximately 384 acres of land. The northern portion of the development is
referred to as Wolcott Village, or the Valley Floor Parcel, and the area south of Interstate-70 is referred to as
Wolcott South. The 1041 Permit application includes detailed plans for water and sewer infrastructure for Phases I
and II of the proposed development, and preliminary plans for water and sewer services to serve Phases III and IV.
It is expected that development of Phases I and II will commence in 2013 and will be completed over a period of
approximately 2 years,and will serve the equivalent of up to 469 single family residences. Construction of Phases
III and IV will begin around the year 2022. At full build out of the entire PUD,Phases I-IV,the Project is expected
to serve an equivalent total of 777 single family residences.
Domestic water for the PUD will be supplied by the ERSWD. The water treatment facility is to be located on the
west end of the PUD and north of Interstate-70, adjacent to the proposed wastewater treatment facility. Potable
water treatment to meet demands will be provided by construction of a new Wolcott water treatment facility. The
water treatment facility will be located on land within the PUD north of Interstate-70 and West of Bellyache Ridge
Road. The water supply will be diverted from the Eagle River adjacent and downstream from the existing Holland
Creek Metropolitan District intake. The new water treatment facility will require construction of a new raw water
line and diversion point on the Eagle River, a new water treatment facility and a new 10"treated water distribution
pipeline.
Treated domestic water storage needs for Phases I and II will be met using the existing 400,000 gallon ERWSD
tank located on the north side of the Eagle River on BLM.land permitted by 1041 Permit number 1041-0065.
Pipelines connecting the water treatment plant to the ERWSD tanks will be constructed in the rights-of-way for
Highway 131 and Highway 6,and include a boring under the Eagle River.
Additional storage capacity is necessary to serve the entirety of the Wolcott service area, including other areas
within the ERWSD boundaries. Within this 1041 Permit approval,a new 260,000 gallon water storage tank located
adjacent to the existing ERWSD tank and a new Upper Zone 360,000 gallon water storage tank located north of the
upper part of Bellyache Ridge Road will be constructed. The new north tank will serve non-PUD areas and/or low
lying areas in Phases III and IV,and a new Upper Zone tank will serve the remainder of Phases III and IV of the
PUD.
Surface water will be diverted from the Eagle River via a new diversion structure on the Eagle River,conveyed
through a new pipeline approximately%mile west of the existing intersection of US Highway 6 and the Wolcott
Spur Road. A significant portion of the water supply will be from diversions of senior historical irrigation and
ranching water rights dedicated to ERWSD by the Developer. ERWSD also has decreed augmentation plans(Case
No's. 08CW077 and 09CW 191)to divert water at the above described location, as well as several other alternate
points of diversion.
The Developer of the Wolcott PUD and its consultants will design and construct the distribution system
infrastructure for the potable water system in accordance with the ERWSD standards. Where feasible, distribution
pipelines will parallel existing rights-of-way, easements and other infrastructure associated with the Project.
Wastewater treatment services for the Project will be provided by the ERWSD. The wastewater treatment system
infrastructure will consist of a new wastewater treatment facility and collection system. The wastewater treatment
facility will be constructed at the PUD site,on the west end of the Wolcott PUD.
12
10/02/2013
Wastewater collection lines within the Project will be constructed by the Developer in accordance with ERWSD
standards and will gravity flow to an influent lift station adjacent to the new wastewater treatment facility. Two
remote lift stations are anticipated to serve the portion of the planning area located to the west of the Wolcott PUD,
one potentially located on the south side of the river to the west of the existing Yacht Club and the other potentially
located on the north side of the river south of the railroad tracks, east of Highway 131.
The wastewater treatment facility will be constructed with an initial design capacity of 0.15 million gallons per day
to serve Phases I and II, expandable up to 0.35 million gallons per day to serve future development within the
ERWSD. Treated effluent from the facility will outfall to the Eagle River approximately 25 feet downstream of the
Wolcott water treatment facility diversion intake.
Extensions of the water and sewer infrastructure to serve development outside of the Wolcott PUD equivalent to 10
or more residential dwelling units, or increases of treatment capacity or storage, or relocation of infrastructure,
including water storage tanks to areas not identified and assessed during this 1041 Permit review will necessitate
additional 1041 review and approval.
WHEREAS,in the event that the Applicant determines that potable water to the Wolcott PUD and other
surrounding properties included within the ERWSD's service area,via an interconnect with the Holland Creek
Metropolitan District's water treatment system is the preferred alternative,the Red Sky Ranch 1041 Permit (Eagle
County File No. 1041-0031 /Resolution 2001-011) shall be amended accordingly; and
WHEREAS,on April 23,2013,the Applicant submitted a sub-district plan to Eagle County creating the
Wolcott Water and Sanitation Sub-district of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District; and
WHEREAS,the permanent water and wastewater treatment facilities included in this 1041 Permit
application are intended to provide service to the Vines at Vail PUD, and will replace the interim water and
wastewater treatment facilities approved by(Eagle County File No. 1041-0065/Resolution No. 2006-107); and
WHEREAS,the Board of County Commissioners,County of Eagle, State of Colorado, sitting as the Eagle
County Permit Authority(hereinafter the"Board"), conducted public hearings on April 23,April 30,May 7,May
15,May 20,June 26,July 2, and July 22, 2013 to consider the application; and

MOVED,READ AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Eagle, State
of Colorado, at its regular meeting held the day of ,2013.
DISCUSSION:
Ms. Ayres-Oliver stated that there was a conditional approval on July 22, 2013. Since that time the
applicant had prepared a booklet with all the final documents. She talked about the exhibits that were attached to
the resolution. She suggested that the board discuss the resolution first,then the PUD agreement and exhibits.
Chairman Fisher spoke about some recent changes regarding the ditch.
Mr.Narracci stated that the 1041 resolution included all the details that were approved by the board.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver stated that the copy of the resolution in the boards note books did not incorporate the
most recent changes.
Chairman Fisher began reading the resolutions. The first condition was the standard condition.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver spoke about the change to condition 2 regarding seasonal closures. The board asked that
domestic animal activity be mentioned.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked about the timing attached to the conservation easement.
Rick Pylman stated that it was mentioned in the PUD agreement.
Chairman Fisher spoke about condition 6,regarding the roadway.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked about storm water drainage. She asked if it the geological report had
been reviewed by the county engineer.
Mr. Pylman stated that the report was submitted by their Geological Technical Engineer to the county
engineer for review not necessarily for an approval.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry wanted to make sure the county sighed off on the report.
Mr.Narracci stated that engineering would weigh in on it.
Eva Wilson, County Engineer indicated that the report would be reviewed by the county engineer and there
was language that covered the requirement.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked about the conservation easement for the G.Jouflas river front parcel.
Rick Travers believed the G. Jouflas family would agree to a restricted covenant but there was very little
chance of a full conservation easement because of the cost and administration fees.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry stated that there might be an interest and funding from other sources.
Chairman Fisher believed there was value to the entire community in having it preserved.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver wondered if there was a restricted covenant,the property would preclude development.
Mr. Hermes believed the property had emotional family ties. The applicant agreed to fence the property.
Chairman Fisher spoke about the ECO trails condition and the ditch issue that interfered in the continuance
of the trail. There needed an agreement by all parties.
Mr. Hermes stated that they were willing to do their part but had no control over Eagle Springs.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver spoke about a letter that was proposed. Fred Green from Eagle Springs indicated that he
wanted something in writing to confirm the historical arrangement. She understood that the applicant would obtain
Chris Jouflas's water rights.
Ellie Caryl stated that Steve Jouflas had signed an earlier document. Fred Green indicated that he just
wanted something in writing and some commitment by the applicant.
Mr. Travers stated that the conditions that were approved specifically stated that there would be no
obligation on this PUD to secure other parties agreements. The applicant had agreed to language regarding shared
ditch costs and head gate work.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver stated that the board was concern about not having a signed agreement between the
applicant and Fred Green of Eagle Springs.
Mr.Travers did not think the conversation today should be on the applicant reaching an agreement with a
third party which was unrelated to the PUD. The applicant could not provide any assurance that an agreement
could be reached with an independent third party that could hold up the PUD.
18
10/02/2013
Commissioner Chandler-Henry believed the board had an obligation to insure that all agreements were in
place.
Mr.Pylman stated that the condition required the applicant to gain approval from Fred Green on the ditch
agreement. He believed it was inappropriate.
Mr. Travers believed this was a brand new item. The county had an agreement with Mr. Green but they
were never a part of that or asked to be. This was a big issue for the applicant.
Ms. Caryl suggested having the applicant provide a letter representing their intent to address the concerns.
Chairman Fisher wondered if it would be helpful if the board took some time to discuss the matter in
executive session.
Rick Travers suggested that the board review the language in the PUD agreement related to the ditch first.
Ms.Ayres-Oliver stated that the language in the PUD agreement related to the cost and long term
replacement of the pipe.
Mr.Travers believed it was the county's obligation to handle the piping costs.
Ms. Caryl stated that the life expectancy of the pipe was 50 years and the language addressed the long term
replacement cost. In the long run the county would end up paying a portion of the replacement costs.
Ms.Ayres-Oliver suggested adding language that would require the Metro District or Home Owners
Association to cover the replacement cost.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry moved to go into Executive Session for the purpose of receiving legal
advice pertaining to the ditch and trail improvement agreement relating to Eagle Springs and the applicant.
Commissioner Ryan seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver summarized the dialog she had with the board regarding the ditch condition. The board
was uncomfortable with the fact that Fred Green had not been involved in the discussions with the ditch
reconstruction. The board would like the applicant to talk to Fred Green to insure that condition 7 and 8 were
agreeable to Eagle Springs. There were also some issues regarding phasing. The board suggested tabling the
meeting until October when all the commissioners were able to attend. Condition number 35,the ditch and trail
agreement would have to be agreed to before the first final plat for the PUD. The ditch and trail agreement would
require all signatures. The board was not concerned with not having the trail connection.
Mr. Hermes stated that they spent 3 years going through the process to get to a point where Mr. Green
could say"no"and the PUD did not happen.
Chairman Fisher believed the conversations should have already taken place.
Mr. Hermes believed they had been reasonable and done everything they were asked to do by Mr. Green.
He expressed frustration with sitting down with Fred Green.
Chairman Fisher asked Mr.Hermes to see what could be accomplished with Fred Green. The board had to
up front. She suggested continuing the file allowing time to get something in writing from Mr. Green. She
understood that everyone had worked hard on the project. The trail through this property tied everything together
and was a critical part of the long term vision of the community.
Mr. Travers stated that they were under the impression that there was an agreement with Eagle Springs. He
thought it was unfair and a manipulation of the process.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry believed the board had a responsibility on behalf of the public to make sure
there was a completed trail. Every possibility needed to be exhausted to make sure it worked out.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver stated that the other issues related to phasing section of the PUD agreement. The board
requested more detail on pages 6-7 of the PUD agreement.
Chairman Fisher stated that the language seemed confusing under exhibit C.
Mr. Hermes stated that phasing would depend on the financial recourses.
Ms.Ayres-Oliver indicated that exhibit F of the PUD agreement showed the phasing and what would occur
in each of the phases.
Mr. Hermes indicated that most of the public improvements were in phase one.
Chairman Fisher asked that the applicant verbally enhance the intent.
Mr.Travers stated that they wanted some flexibility to respond to market conditions.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry believed the assumption was phase 4 would follow phase 3.
Ms. Ayres-Oliver spoke about the roads condition and asked that the applicants elaborate. The wording
implied that the phasing would happen in a linear fashion.
Mr.Travers explained that there were also triggers.
19
10/02/2013
Mr. Hermes stated that on the record he understood where the board was coming from but he believed the
proposal was a public benefit.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry moved to table the Resolution Approving the Zone Change and
Preliminary Plan for Wolcott Planned Unit Development(Eagle County File No.ZC-3881 and PDP-3830)and the
Resolution Approving the 1041 Permit for Site Selection and Construction of a Major New Domestic Water and
Wastewater Treatment Systems and Infrastructure, as well as the Efficient Utilization of a Municipal and Industrial
Water Project to Serve the Wolcott Planned Unit Development and Surrounding Lands(Eagle County File No.
1041-4122)until October 15, 2013.
