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
within Planning Areas PA-23,PA-24,PA-26, and PA-27.PA-25 is for active recreation.Potentially, a future buried
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
5
10/18/2013
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.
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.
6
10/18/2013
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.
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
7
10/18/2013
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.
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 crack sealing as needed prior to
acceptance of the trail.
8
10/18/2013
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, arid 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, CJC Properties Limited Partnership, or assigns, and/or
Wolcott Valley Land Investors,LLC,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, and signed by G. Jouflas Ranches,LLC, CJC Properties Limited Partnership, or
assigns, and/or Wolcott Valley Land Investors,LLC shall be provided to the County by the Applicant within
fourteen days of the closing of the sale of real property within the Wolcott PUD/development by CJC Properties
Limited Partnership and G.Jouflas Ranches, LLC to Wolcott Valley Land Investors,LLC. The County and the
Applicant acknowledge that Eagle Springs Golf Club,Inc. is also a party to the ditch and trail improvement
agreement and that the agreement has already been signed by Eagle Springs Golf Club, Inc. as of the date of this
resolution.
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
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.
9
10/18/2013
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.
