6. PDA-6452 Beaver Creek PUD Amendment
Scot Hunn,Planning
File No./Process: PDA-6452,Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD
Project Name: Beaver Creek PUD Amendment-Tract M, Lot 1
Location: Elk Track Road
Owner: Beaver Creek Metropolitan District
Applicant: Same
Representative: Dominic Mauriello,Mauriello Planning Group LLC
Staff Planner: Scot Hunn,AICP
Staff Engineer: Rickie Davies,PE
Recommendation: Approve with Condition(s)
I. Executive Summary:
Request and Process
The Applicant requests review of an amendment to the Beaver Creek Planned Unit Development (PUD) to strike
the following provision from the PUD Guide document which requires the creation of private easement agreement
on Tract M, Lot 1 of the Beaver Creek PUD (this provision was added in 2012 as part of a previous PUD
Amendment and with specific regard to development on Tract M, Lot 1, the site of the former Beaver Creek Fire
Station located on Elk Track Road):
"If Lot 1 is developed residentially, a new roadway/access easement will be required as part of
such residential development to be granted to the ski area operator over and across Lot 1 to permit
vehicular access the resort service facilities and other activities on Beaver Creek mountain. It is
the intent of such easement to allow the same type and intensity (or potentially greater intensity) of
traffic as currently exists for Village Walk Road for use by the ski area operator."
Per the current application,
"Conditions have changed since the PUD Amendment was approved in 2012. As part of the
construction of a new fire station, which is adjacent to the resort service facilities and a new Vail
Resorts employee parking facility, the access route located at the southern end of Elk Track Road
was improved and paved, allowing resort service traffic to use this route to access the resort
service facilities, new parking lot, and the new fire station. The new parking lot accommodates
approximately 50 resort services facility employee vehicles that would have otherwise used the
Village Walk Road to access the service facilities. Access is limited by a gate, so only those with
activities related to either the resort service facilities or the new fire station use the access. Prior to
its paving, this new access route has been a diversion of daily traffic that would ordinarily access
the resort service facilities via Village Walk Road, having the same effect as a future roadway
across Lot 1. As a result, the outcome related to this PUD Guide text amendment (diversion of a
portion of the resort facilities traffic flow)has already been realized."
2
01/24/2017
Staff suggests that the language proposed to be removed from the PUD Guide was added in 2012 primarily to
address concerns by the Village Walk Association (the adjacent neighborhood directly to the the north of Lot 1)
regarding resort services traffic that has historically traveled through,the Village Walk neighborhood since it was
developed. Staff further believes that the Applicant has provided justification for the removal of such restrictive
PUD language as well as information addressing issues such as traffic on or through the Village Walk
neighborhood and, importantly, alternate access routes that have been recently improved along Elk Track Road to,
in part,alleviate traffic through the Village Walk property.
Staff is of the understanding the Applicant has worked proactively with the Village Walk Association regarding the
proposed amendment. Although staff initially received a referral response from Kerry Wallace, Goodman &
Wallace, P.C., legal counsel for the Village Walk Homeowners Association-stating an objection to the removal of
language from the PUD Guide - staff has subsequently received an updated letter from the Village Walk
Homeowners Association Board of Directors(dated December 11, 2016) stating that the Association has withdrawn
any and all objections to the amendment.
Respectfully, staff suggests that staff's review and ultimate recommendation for approval of the PUD Amendment
request in 2012 was not predicated on the inclusion of language reflecting a private negotiation to create a private
easement agreement.
Put another way, staff would not have changed its recommendation in 2012 had such language not been presented
for inclusion into the PUD Guide, as staff did not believe that such language impacted(negatively or positively)the
PUD's conformance with County standards.
Staff is recommending approval of this PUD Amendment request based on a positive determination of
conformance with all required standards.
Planning Commission Review and Recommendation
At their regularly scheduled meeting of December 21, 2016, the Eagle County Planning Commission held a public
hearing to consider the proposed amendment. On a motion to recommend approval of the amendment, the motion
failed on a 2-2 vote, with Commissioners Mayer and Warner voting nay, and Commissioners Moffit and Brock
voting in the affirmative. Because of a tie vote, the motion to approve failed. This has the effect of a
recommendation for denial from the Planning Commission.
Discussion during deliberations generally focused on the purpose of the existing access easement that has been
granted to Vail Resorts across Lot 1 and the potential implications of vacating the easement. Of note, the
Commission members were reminded by staff and the Applicant's representative during the hearing that the current
request is not to vacate the easement; rather, to the Applicant is requesting approval to remove the PUD language
requiring the creation of the easement.
Overview of Findings
Staff believes the proposed amendment to the PUD Guide is in conformance with the standards for a modification
to a Planned Unit Development, while maintaining consistency with the standards for a Preliminary Plan for PUD.
Briefly,the standards specific to a request for PUD Amendment are summarized as follows:
Modification - That the modification, removal, or release (of the PUD provision) is consistent with
the efficient development and preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development.
Adjacent Properties - That the amendment does not affect, 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.
Benefit- That the amendment is not granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person.
Amendment- That the amendment shall not have the effect of extending the vesting period absent
a specific finding and declaration to that effect.
3
01/24/2017
Additionally, amendments to PUDs must address and conform to the standards for Preliminary Plan for Planned
Unit Development. Those standards are summarized below:
Unified ownership or control - That title to all land that is part of a PUD shall be owned or
controlled by one(1)person or entity (as represented by a Homeowners Association).
Uses - That the uses that may be developed in the PUD shall be those uses that are designated as
uses that are allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a limited use in the County's
residential, commercial, or industrial zone districts.
Dimensional Limitations - That the dimensional limitations (setbacks and/or building height
restrictions) that shall apply to the PUD are those that either meet the standards listed in the Eagle
County Land Use Regulations, or that they are approved variations to the standard dimensional
limitations.
Off-Street Parking and Loading - That off-street parking and loading provided in the PUD
complies with the standards of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations.
Landscaping - That the landscaping provided in the PUD shall comply with the standards of the
Eagle County Land Use Regulations.
Signs - The sign standards applicable to the PUD shall be as specified in the Eagle County Land
Use Regulations.
Adequate Facilities - That the applicant has demonstrated that development proposed in the
Preliminary Plan for PUD will be provided adequate facilities.
Improvements - That the PUD meets the standards for improvements according to the Eagle
County Land Use Regulations.
Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses- That the PUD shall be generally compatible with the
existing and currently permissible future uses of adjacent land and other lands, services or
infrastructure improvements that may be substantially impacted.
Conformance with Comprehensive Plan - That the PUD shall be in substantial conformance with
the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan, Area Community Plans, and any applicable ancillary
County adopted documents pertaining to natural resource protection, affordable housing or
infrastructure management.
Phasing- That the Preliminary Plan for PUD includes a phasing plan for the development.
Common Recreation and Open Space - That the PUD complies with the common recreation and
open space standards.
Natural Resource Protection - That the PUD considers the recommendations made by the
applicable analysis documents, as well as the recommendations of referral agencies as with regard
to natural resource protection.
A more in-depth description of each standard and a discussion regarding how or why staff believes the
proposed Amendment to the Preliminary Plan for PUD meets or does not meet applicable standards is
provided in Section III—Standards,starting on page 6 of this report.
Background
In 1978, Planned Unit Development zoning was approved for the Beaver Creek Subdivision. However, the PUD
Guide for Beaver Creek was not approved until 1983. The PUD authorizes 3,161 dwelling units and 380,000 square
4
01/24/2017
feet of commercial uses on 2,161 acres of land. Since 1983, the PUD has been amended three times: once in 1988
and again in 1994 to address changing conditions and specific land use designations within the PUD, and most
recently in 2012 to change the land use designation on Tract M, Lot 1 from Resort Services (RS) to Resort
Commercial 1 (RC1), allowing for residential development as well as other uses associated with Beaver Creek
Metropolitan District operations.
The 2012 request to change the land use designation on Lot 1 is directly linked to the history of Tract M(Lots 1 and
2), and was 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.
In 1994, the land use designation for Lot 2 was amended from RS to RC1 to allow for residential uses as part of a
larger PUD amendment proposal. As part of that amendment, Tract M was allocated with 38 dwelling units. Lot 2
was subsequently 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 (formerly located on Lot 2) was relocated to another
location to the south of Tract M.
The 2012 amendment sought, among other things, to allow for similar residential development on Lot 1, and to
move the Beaver Creek Fire Station to a new location. The Metropolitan District has since completed a new fire
station further up Elk Track road, generally to the south of Lot 1 and existing single-family residences located on
Elk Track Road. Along with the new fire station, improvements have been made to Elk Track Road primarily for
use by the District and for Vail Resorts employees accessing District and VRI facilities(the service center).
As part of the 2012 amendment, a provision requiring the property owner of Lot 1 (Beaver Creek Metropolitan
District) to create an access easement across Lot 1 for the benefit of Vail Resorts Inc. (for mountain operations
vehicular traffic) was added to the PUD Guide. This provision largely reflected a private agreement or negotiation
between the BCMD and the Village Walk Association - to address concerns by the Village Walk Association
regarding traffic that has historically traveled through the Village Walk neighborhood using an existing easement
granted to VRI for access.
Last, objections filed by the Village Walk Association during the referral period with regard to this amendment to
remove such provisions have since been withdrawn by the Village Walk Homeowners Association Board of
Directors (see attached letter dated December 11, 2016).
II. Referral Responses:
This application was referred to nine(9) County departments and/or external referral agencies including the Beaver
Creek Property Owner's Association and the Village Walk Association. Referral comments were provided by the
following entities and are attached to the staff report:
Eagle County Engineering Department(Rickie Davies):
The Engineering Department requested that the Applicant provide written evidence demonstrating that Vail
Resorts, Inc. (beneficiary of the access easement created across Lot 1) agrees to the removal of the access
easement. The Applicant has not provided such evidence.
Beaver Creek Property Owners Association(David Eichholt):
Comments received from the BCPOA focused on the problematic and impractical nature of creating an
access across Lot 1 and, importantly, across adjacent federal lands. The letter provides support for the PUD
Amendment and, specifically, the removal of language requiring the creation of an access easement on Lot
1.
The Village Walk Homeowners Association(Kerry Wallace,Esq.):
Initial comments received from the Village Walk Homeowners Association (VWHOA) expressed strong
opposition to the proposed amendment. However, since the initial referral period, representatives from the
5
01/24/2017
Beaver Creek Metropolitan District and the VWHOA have met several times and have resolved any
outstanding issues or objections. Hence, staff has received an updated letter from the VWHOA formally
withdrawing any and all objections to the proposed amendment.
III. Standards:
Findings
Staff is recommending approval of this application, with one condition, based on a finding that the proposed PUD
Amendment application meets all applicable standards for an Amendment to a Planned Unit Development.
Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD Standards
Per the ECLUR's, "No substantial modification, removal, or release of the provisions of the plan shall be permitted
except upon a finding by the County,following a public hearing called and held in accordance with the provisions
of section 2467104(1)(e) Colorado Revised Statutes that:
(1) Modification. The modification, removal, or release is consistent with the efficient development and
preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposed PUD Amendment is consistent with the efficient development and preservation
of the entire Planned Unit Development.
(2) Adjacent Properties. The PUD Amendment does not affect, 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.
Staff Response:
It is staff's opinion that the proposed PUD Amendment will not affect 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. The Custom Homes at Village Walk as well as other single-family residences located in
close proximity to Lot 1 were developed without benefit of an access easement across Lot 1 to potentially
alleviate local traffic conditions; rather, staff respectfully suggests the homes within the Village Walk
neighborhood were developed and sold with knowledge of an access easement traversing the Village Walk
property and benefiting Vail Resorts,Inc. for vehicular traffic.
The existing easement agreement allows for a certain amount of vehicular access for resort services
purposes. Likewise, an access easement across Lot 1 benefiting VRI has been executed between the
Metropolitan District and VRI in accordance with the 2012 PUD provision requiring its creation.
Additionally, Elk Track Road has also been improved recently to accommodate additional traffic to and
from the Beaver Creek Service Center and the Beaver Creek Fire Station. Per the application,
"As part of the acquisition of the new fire station site from Vail Resorts, an easement
agreement between Vail Resorts and BCMD was executed and an easement was
established on Lot 1. The intent of the access easement was that if traffic volumes on
Village Walk Road, which provides access for Vail Resorts to the resort service facilities,
became too intense a new access route could potentially be available to relieve some of the
traffic volume. There was no requirement to construct a roadway and no guarantee that it
would be permitted by the USFS."
Removal of provisions within the Beaver Creek PUD Guide requiring the creation of a private easement
across Lot 1 (further to the south and terminating at the U.S. Forest Service property) appears to have no
substantive adverse impact on surrounding areas. On the contrary, one could argue that the easement -
which, as created and recorded, creates an access which terminates at the boundary of federal,
undeveloped property in close proximity to Beaver Creek - could produce additional impacts on natural
resources and sensitive lands inclusive of potential wetlands in the area. Additionally, surrounding
6
01/24/2017
properties that are zoned accordingly have been developed and used residentially for several years (or in
most cases,decades)without the benefit of any access easement across Lot 1.
(3) Benefit. The PUD Amendment is not granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person.
Staff Response:
Staff believes that the PUD Amendment will not confer a special benefit upon any (single) person. The
amendment can be construed to benefit the property owner, the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District, as well
as all owners in the PUD (See attached letter of support from the Beaver Creek Property Owners
Association).
(4) Amendment. Amendment of a Preliminary Plan for PUD shall not have the effect of extending the
vesting period absent a specific finding and declaration to that effect.
Staff Response:
The proposed PUD Amendment will not have the effect of extending the vesting period; the Beaver Creek
PUD is already fully vested and has been substantially built-out for decades.
(5) Standards. PUD Amendments shall address the standards Pursuant to Section 5-240.F.3.e. Applicant
shall also provide a copy of the PUD Guide clearly demonstrating what amendments are to be made.
Staff Response:
The proposed amendment addresses the standards for Preliminary Plan for PUD as well as those for
Modification to PUD. Evaluation of the PUD Preliminary Plan standards is provided below in this report.
(6) Notification. The applicant shall provide pre-addressed, stamped envelopes for every property owner in
the PUD, as well as for all adjacent property owners. The applicant shall also comply with Section 5-
210.E.
Staff Response:
All property owners within the PUD and all adjacent property owners were sent notice of this PUD
Amendment. Notification was published in a newspaper of general circulation, and a sign was duly posted
on the subject property.
Preliminary Plan Standards
The following standards apply to review of all PUD Preliminary Plans. Likewise, as part of any review of a
modification (amendment) to a PUD, the Planning Commission must find that the amended PUD still
meets the following standards:
(1) Unified ownership or control. 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.
Staff Response:
The subject property is owned by the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District; the Beaver Creek Metropolitan
District has provided a letter consenting to,and approving of,the proposed amendment.
(2) Uses. The uses that may be developed in the PUD shall be those uses that are designated as uses that are
allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a limited use in Table 3-300, "Residential, Agricultural and
Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule", or Table 3-320, "Commercial and Industrial Zone Districts Use
Schedule"for the zone district designation in effect for the property at the time of the application for PUD.
Variations of these use designations may only be authorized pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3.f, Variations
Authorized.
7
01/24/2017
Staff Response:
The uses proposed within the PUD, or particularly within Tract M, Lot 1,will not be changed as a result of
this PUD Amendment.
(3) Dimensional Limitations. The dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD shall be those specified
in Table 3-340, "Schedule of Dimensional Limitations",for the zone district designation in effect for the
property at the time of the application for PUD. Variations of these dimensional limitations may only be
authorized pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3..f, Variations Authorized, provided variations shall leave
adequate distance between buildings for necessary access and fire protection, and ensure proper
ventilation, light, air and snowmelt between buildings.
Staff Response:
No variations from dimensional limitations have been proposed as part of this PUD Amendment.
(4) Off-Street Parking and Loading[Section 5-240.F.3.e(4)] - Off-street parking and loading provided in the
PUD shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
(5) Landscaping. Landscaping provided in the PUD shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 2,
Landscaping and Illumination Standards. Variations from these standards may be authorized where the
applicant demonstrates that the proposed landscaping provides sufficient buffering of uses from each other
(both within the PUD and between the PUD and surrounding uses) to minimize noise, glare and other
adverse impacts, creates attractive streetscapes and parking areas and is consistent with the character of
the area.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
(6) Signs. The sign standards applicable to the PUD shall be as specified in Article 4, Division 3, Sign
Regulations, unless, as provided in Section 4-340 D., Signs Allowed in a Planned Unit Development
(PUD), the applicant submits a comprehensive sign plan for the PUD that is determined to be suitable for
the PUD and provides the minimum sign area necessary to direct users to and within the PUD.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
(7) Adequate Facilities. The applicant shall demonstrate that the development proposed in the Preliminary
Plan for PUD will be provided adequate facilities for potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste
disposal, electrical supply,fire protection and roads and will be conveniently located in relation to schools,
police and fire protection, and emergency medical services.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
(8) Improvements. The improvements standards applicable to the development shall be as specified in Article
4, Division 6, Improvements Standards.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
8
01/24/2017
(9) Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses. The PUD shall be generally compatible with the existing and
currently permissible future uses of adjacent land and other lands, services or infrastructure improvements
that may be substantially impacted.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met. The proposed amendment concerns the removal of certain language
affecting the creation and granting of a private easement across or over Lot 1. Staff believes that the
removal of said language from the PUD Guide has no material effect upon the compatibility of the PUD on
adjacent lands, other lands; that the proposed amendment has no substantial impact on services or
infrastructure improvements serving the PUD.
(10) Conformance with Comprehensive Plan. The PUD shall be in substantial conformance with the Eagle
County Comprehensive Plan, Area Community Plans, and any applicable ancillary County adopted
documents pertaining to natural resource protection, affordable housing or infrastructure management.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment to the PUD Guide will have no impact on the conformance of the PUD with the
Eagle County Comprehensive Plan.
(11) Phasing. The Preliminary Plan for PUD shall include a phasing plan for the development. If development
of the PUD is proposed to occur in phases, then guarantees shall be provided for public improvements and
amenities that are necessary or desirable for residents of the project, or that are of benefit to the entire
County. Such public improvements shall be constructed with the first phase of the project as determined by
the Board of County Commissioners in the Resolution of approval. (am.05/08/12)
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
The PUD is almost entirely built-out; any phasing plans that were required with the original PUD
development have long-since been realized or satisfied.
(12) Common Recreation and Open Space. The PUD shall comply with the common recreation and open
space standards.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met or is not applicable to the evaluation of the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment has no impact on already developed and preserved open space within the PUD.
(13) Natural Resource Protection. The PUD shall consider the recommendations made by the applicable
analysis documents, as well as the recommendations of referral agencies as specified in Article 4, Division
4, Natural Resource Protection Standards.
Staff Response:
Staff suggests that this standard is met. Removal of provisions within the Beaver Creek PUD Guide
requiring the creation of a private easement across Lot 1 (further to the south and terminating at the U.S.
Forest Service property) appears to have no substantive adverse impact on surrounding areas. On the
contrary, one could argue that the easement - which, as created and recorded, creates an access which
terminates at the boundary of federal, undeveloped property in close proximity to Beaver Creek - could
produce additional impacts on natural resources and sensitive lands inclusive of potential wetlands in the
area.
IV. Board of Commissioners Options:
1. Approve [File No. PDA-64521 with conditions and/or performance standards if it is determined that the
proposed amendment, as conditioned, fully complies with all applicable standards for a PUD Amendment.
9
01/24/2017
2. Deny [File No. PDA-64521 if it is determined that the proposal will not fully comply with all applicable
standards for a PUD Amendment.
3. Table [File No. PDA-64521 if additional information is required to fully evaluate the application, giving
specific direction to the applicant and staff.
V. Staff Recommendation and Suggested Motion:
Staff recommends approval of the requested PUD Amendment with one condition based on a positive
demonstration by the Applicant that all required standards have been, or can be,met as conditioned.
The following suggested motion language is provided in the event the Board chooses to approve or deny the
request.
Motion to Approve:
"I hereby move to approve the Planned Unit Development Amendment for Beaver Creek PUD
(File No. PDA-6452), incorporating staff's findings and staff's conditions,because the application,
as conditioned, meets all of the standards for approval of an amendment to a planned unit
development. I further move to authorize the Chair to sign the resolution approving this
amendment."
1) Except as otherwise modified by this development permit,all material representations made by the
Applicant in this application and in public meeting shall be adhered to and considered conditions of
approval.
Motion to Deny:
"I hereby move to deny the Planned Unit Development Amendment for Beaver Creek PUD (File
No. PDA-6452),because the proposal does not meet the standards for approval of an amendment to
a planned unit development."
DISCUSSION:
Scott Hunn,the project planner,provided a brief summary and introduction and reviewed the standards.
Staff recommended approval of the request based on a positive finding demonstrating that the proposed amendment
met all necessary standards for a PUD amendment.
Dominic Mauriello presented the request on behalf of the Beaver Creek Metropolitan District. Bill Simons,
General Manager of Beaver Creek Metro District, and Jim Collins,District General Council, were present. The
proposal would delete one of six provisions in the PUD guide pertaining to Lot 1,Tract M. If Lot 1 was developed
residentially, a new roadway/access easement would be required allowing access to the Resort Service Facility and
other activities of Beaver Creek Mountain. In 2012 as part of a previous PUD amendment,provisions were added
to address the adjacent neighbors' concerns with construction fencing, construction traffic,drainage and an access
easement to allow for any future roadway. There had never been any guarantee that a road would be built nor was
there ever a requirement that a roadway would be built. The easement was simply put in place to allow for an
alternative access to the Resorts Service Facilities. There had been some community support. The Village Walk
HOA no longer opposed the amendment. Vail Resorts indicated that they had no objections. The objection letters
opposed additional traffic traveling up Elk Track Road and indicated that the fire station moving had never been
disclosed. The arguments created confusion and a distraction and the applicant believed the objector was attempting
to take a private dispute that should be between him and the Metro District. The proposed amendment would
benefit the entire community. Notices had been sent to all the adjacent property owners. There would be no
changes to parking,landscaping, and signage; there were no impacts to the overall PUD. The applicant believed
the amendment met the criteria for a PUD amendment.
10
01/24/2017
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked Mr.Mauriello to speak about the benefits of the amendment.
Mr.Mauriello stated that the amendment took the encumbrance off the property and allowed the property
to be sold at a value higher that if an easement were in place. The benefit to the community was in terms of
offsetting the cost of the new fire station and not having to raise taxes.
Commissioner McQueeney asked about the concern raised regarding drainage.
Mr.Mauriello stated that the concern came from one of the Village Walk objection letters which was
withdrawn.
Chairman Ryan asked about the development of the property and the number of proposed units.
Mr.Mauriello stated there could be up to six homes built.
Chairman Ryan opened public input.
Tracy Kinsella with Garfield&Hecht,P.C. spoke on behalf of the objectors,Robert and Kathy Hooken of
210 Elk Track Court. She believed the access criteria had not been met. Her clients believed this was a critical
access easement. The people who purchased property on Elk Track Road purchased with the understanding there
would no commercial traffic and paid a premium for their property.
Jim Fraser,Chairman of the Beaver Creek Metro District, stated that he'd fight to preserve the quality of
Beaver Creek. The traffic on Elk Track Road would not change. They had been transparent since the beginning of
the process. The Metro District made a commitment to the community to sell the property to cover the expenses of
the new fire house. Vail Resorts had no objections with the connector easement. They spent over one million
dollars to pave and complete the road up to the maintained facility and fire house.
Dave Eickholt,President of the Beaver Creek Property Owners Association(BCPOA) spoke. The BCPOA
supported the proposed amendment. The amendment restored the PUD to its original vision and allowed the
property to be used at its best usage. Approval of the amendment was in the best interest of the vast majority of the
Beaver Creek Property Owners and had material benefit for business owners and Eagle County.
Larry Graveel,Metro Board member and BCPOA member, spoke. He objected to the comments made by
the objector. He and his wife walked a lot in the area in the winter and summer and were proud of what they had in
Beaver Creek. He felt approving the amendment would very positively benefit 1400 home owners by reducing
their taxes and by allow the Metro District a little extra money for improvements.
Jeff Luker spoke. He sent in a letter of support. There were meetings and communications sent to
everyone. The purpose of removing the easement was to sell the property and offset the cost of the fire house.
Tim Kelley spoke. He attended the Metro District meetings and supported the efforts.
Steve Friedman,Director of the Beaver Creek Metro District spoke. He believed this was a straight
forward proposition.
Chairman Ryan closed public comment.
Mr. Hunn reviewed the suggested conditions and the board's options.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked if staff had any concerns with the 2003 letter regarding additional
traffic on Elk Track Road.
Mr.Hunn stated that staff had no concerns.
Beth Oliver stated that a private agreement of that nature was not something the county would get involved
in.
Commissioner McQueeney stated that the board made their determinations based what was written and not
someone's interpretation. The only concerns that may apply would be traffic but she did not see this as a problem
based on the standards.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry believed the standards had been met and she agreed with staff's

File Number: ZS-6506/Special Use Permit
Project Name: J-8 Custom Fabrication Special Use Permit
Location: 001 Cedar Lane,Mosher Subdivision
Owner: Mike Dumolt
Applicant: Same
Representative: Mike Dumolt
Staff Planner: Sean Hanagan
Staff Engineer: Nicole Mosby
Recommendation: Approval with Conditions
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Request
The Applicant requests review of a Special Use Permit to allow for a Home Business within an existing
agricultural structure located in the Mosher Subdivision. In addition the applicant requests an additional Accessory
Dwelling Unit to remain on the property.
The lot is a 9.6 acre parcel located the Resource (R) Zone District. The Resource Zone District permits ADUs as a
use by right on lots that are conforming for size. The minimum acreage required in the Resource zone district is 35
acres. Because of this lack of conformance a Special Use Permit is required for an ADU. The proposed uses have
been in existence on the property for some time and were brought to the county's attention through a code
complaint. It is therefore the intention of the applicant to bring these uses into zoning conformance through the
Special Use Process.The code enforcement letter is attached to this Staff Report.
Process Overview
The purpose of a Special Use Review is as follows:
"Special Uses are those uses that are not necessarily compatible with the other uses allowed in a
zone district, but which may be determined compatible with the other uses allowed in the zone
district based upon individual review of their location, design, configuration, density and
intensity of use, and the imposition of appropriate conditions to ensure the compatibility of the
use at a particular location with surrounding land uses. All Special Uses shall meet the
standards set forth in this Section."-ECLURs p. 5-51
Generally, accessory dwelling units are viewed to be compatible with existing or proposed single-family residential
properties and neighborhoods; the purpose of conducting site-specific review is to ensure that size requirements are
met, parking is provided, and on-site infrastructure (access, driveways, on-site wastewater treatment systems, and
water supply) are adequate. Home Businesses on the other hand vary in their ability to be compatible with
residential and agricultural areas. Considerations for impacts must be addressed.
Pursuant to the ECLURs (p. 5-52), the Planning Commission's role during the review of the Special Use Permit is
as follows:
`After receipt of the Staff Report, the Planning Commission shall conduct a public hearing on an
application for a Special Use Permit. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall
consider the application, the relevant support materials, the Staff Report, and the public testimony
given at the public hearing. After the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission,by a
12
01/24/2017
majority vote of the quorum present, shall recommend to the Board of County Commissioners
either to approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the application for a Special Use
Permit based on the standards in Section 5-250.B,Standards. (am.05/08/12)"
Standards associated with Home Businesses in the Resource Zone District dictate:
• Use Subordinate. The use of a dwelling for a home business shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to
its use for residential purposes and shall not change its basic residential character
• Activity Conducted Indoors. All activities associated with a home business shall be conducted indoors.
Materials and equipment used in the home business shall be stored in a building.
• Employment. A home business shall be conducted by persons residing on the premises and by no more
than two(2) employees residing off-premises.
• Patrons. A home business may serve patrons on the premises, provided all other standards of this Section
are met.
• Parking. A home business shall provide one (1) off-street parking space for each employee working on-
site and residing off-premises and one(1) space for patrons of the business. These spaces shall be provided
in addition to the parking required for the principal residential use of the property.
• Sales. Incidental sale of supplies or products associated with the home business shall be permitted on the
premises. A home business whose primary activity is retail sales shall be prohibited, except if the home
business is for catalogue sales.
• Nuisance. A home business shall not produce noise, electrical or magnetic interference, vibrations, heat,
glare, odors, fumes, smoke, or dust and shall not operate at such hours or in such a manner as to create a
public nuisance, disturb neighbors or alter the residential character of the premises.
• Codes. The building housing the home business shall comply with all County or State building, fire and
safety codes applicable to the particular business.
• Signs and Illumination. Signs and other outdoor structures advertising the home business shall not be
permitted. Illumination of the structure housing the home business shall be limited to that which is
customary for the primary residential use of the property.
Standards associated with ADUs in the Resource Zone District dictate:
• That ADUs are limited to one(1)per parcel and are capped at 1800 square feet of habitable area.
• ADUs may be attached to the primary residential structure, or may be detached(located within or over
a detached garage or barn, for example).
• Parking must be provided on-site according to the number of bedrooms (1 bedroom or studios require
one space; two-bedroom units require two spaces).

14
01/24/2017
Staff believes the proposal, as conditioned meets or can meet all applicable standards for a Special Use Permit, as
well as those standards specific to Home Business as well as Accessory Dwelling Units.
Special Use Standards
Specifically, the following excerpts from Section 5-250 B — Standards, ECLURs provide direction regarding the
intent and necessary findings for the approval of any Special Use Review, as well as the specific standards for
Accessory Dwelling Units:
1. Consistent with Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Special Use shall be in substantial
conformance with the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan, Area Community Plans and any
applicable ancillary County adopted documents pertaining to natural resource protection,
affordable housing, or infrastructure management.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal is in conformance with all applicable plans and adopted policy
documents. Specifically, the proposal was reviewed against relevant guiding policies, goals, and
recommended implementation strategies of the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan and the Eagle
Area Community Plan related to general development, maintaining rural, residential character and
uses in the Brush Creek Area, and the provision of local housing options.
2. Compatibility. The Special Use is generally compatible with the existing and currently permissible
future uses of adjacent land and other substantially impacted land, services, or infrastructure
improvements.
Staff Response:
The site is surrounded by similarly situated single-family structures with light agricultural uses.
Importantly, surrounding lot owners within the Mosher Subdivision enjoy similar rights regarding
uses `by right', as well as the ability to apply for an Accessory Dwelling unit. Staff believes the
proposed ADU will be maintained in a manner consistent with scale and character of the existing
residence on the Lot, as well as the scale and character of the surrounding residential
neighborhood. The fabrication of metals has taken place on the parcel for more than 11 years
without evidence of complaints based in nuisance. Staff would suggest that all commercial
performance standards be adhered to as part of the approval of this application.
3. Zone District Standards. The proposed Special Use shall comply with the standards of the zone
district in which it is located and any standards applicable to the particular use, as
identified in Section 3-310, Review Standards Applicable to Particular Residential, Agricultural
and Resource Uses and Section 3-330, Review Standards Applicable to Particular Commercial and
Industrial Uses.
Staff Response:
Staff believes the proposal is in substantial conformance with the standards outlined in Sections 3-

DISCUSSION:
Sean Hanagan presented the request. The property was located in Mosher Subdivision and was a 9.6 acre
parcel located in the Resource Zone District. The applicant was requesting review of a consolidated special use
permit for a home business as well as an accessory dwelling unit.
Mike Dumolt spoke. His business J-8 Custom Fabrication was an existing business and operating at the
current location since 2005. The property was primary residential and the business was entirely indoors and was
not seen or heard by neighbors. The business has a very minimal impact on roads and traffic. The business
received two deliveries a week, and inl 1 years of doing business,they had never received complaints from the
neighbors regarding noise,odors, fumes, or traffic from the business operations. The business had downsized in
the last two years and they now had fewer employees and a slower work schedule. He considered the neighbors'
concerns and agreed to plant shrubs and hedges to block the view of the shop. He showed photos of the area.He
agreed to keep all materials inside and deliveries to a minimum. The ADU was important because it was used for
19
01/24/2017
family housing. The ADU was installed in the current location for over 13 years. Operating their family business
was a benefit to their family. The business met or exceeded the legal requirement for a home business.
Chairman Ryan asked about the notice of violation and how it arose.
Mr. Hanagan stated that a new neighbor complained.
Chairman Ryan asked if the shop was used for housing.
Mr.Dumolt stated that the shop was not used for housing.
Chairman Ryan asked is anything was being stored outside.
Mr.Dumolt stated that nothing was being stored outside currently.
Commissioner McQueeney asked about the semi-truck deliveries.
Mr.Dumolt stated that the deliveries were received in their driveway except during the winter when they
picked up their steel in town.
Mr. Hanagan reviewed the Future Land Use Map(FLUM)designation. Staff did not see any compatibility
issues.He reviewed the standards and concluded that staff recommended approval of the application and the
proposal was in conformance with all applicable plans and policy documents. Three letters of support were
received. Staff suggested four(4) conditions.
Chairman Ryan suggested another condition that would require an annual compliance review due to
complaints by the neighbors.
Ms. Oliver suggested that in January every year following approval of the special use permit that there is an
administrative review of the compliance in the way of a report.
Commissioner McQueeney believed that the condition was excessive. She was impressed with the efforts
been made by the applicant to mitigate the concerns of the neighbors. A review was reasonable but wondered if
every year was really necessary.
Mr. Hanagan stated that that the review could be done the first.year and that any violation of the provisions
was a reason for revocation of the special use permit.
Chairman Ryan opened public comment.
Ron Marmon spoke. He had lived in the Moser Subdivision for 30 years. Many of his neighbors
had home business.The properties were resource properties and had a use by right. The Dumolt's made no
more noise than any other property owners. Their business had provided a great service to the community
and Eagle County. He and his wife supported the request.
Chairman Ryan closed public comment.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry complimented staff and the applicant for their thorough
presentation. She believed the applicant met the requirements for a home business and the ADU
requirements had been met. The standards had been met and the conditions took care of any lingering
concerns.
Commissioner McQueeney appreciated the applicant for going through the process to come into
conformance.
Chairman Ryan promoted living in harmony with the neighbors. It sounded like most of the issues
came from the Dumolt's recreation activities and not the business.
Commissioner Chandler Henry moved to approve File No. ZS-6506 with conditions and/or performance
standards if it is determined that that, as conditioned, the proposed use fully complies with all the standards for
special use permit.
1. Except as otherwise modified by this development permit, all material representations made by the
Applicant in this application and in public meeting shall be adhered to and considered conditions of
approval.
2. The conduct of business shall comply with all applicable Commercial Performance Standards
outlined in sections 4-500 through 4-560.
3. This Special Use Permit shall be valid until such time that the parcel and metal fabrication business
is no longer owned by the applicant or his family.
20
01/24/2017
4. All business related activities shall take place between the hours of 8 am–5:30 pm Monday
through Friday.
