Kris Valdez stated that this was the third hearing for the Minor A Subdivision—File No. SMA-6420. This
hearing was a continuation from May 2, 2017 and May 16, 2017. She reviewed the request. The applicant
proposed to move the building envelope on Lot 2B adjacent to Eagle Street and Cedar Court.
Nicole Mosby, county engineer,discussed the variance requests. She recommended approval based on the
current road conditions largely conforming to the standards and providing adequate access for emergency services.
Upon receipt of public comment at prior hearings, it was indicated that an adjacent property owner did not feel that
the prescriptive easement provided adequate access for maintenance purposes. As a result, staff recommended that
the applicant reduce concerns regarding the road by negotiating an easement with concerned parties.
Ms.Valdez stated that the proposed subdivision was in substantial conformance with the purposes, goals,
and policies of the Eagle County Comprehensive Plan. She reviewed the staff findings, recommendations and
proposed three(3)conditions.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry asked about the electric service.
Ms.Valdez stated that she spoke to one of the board members for Holy Cross Energy and was told it was
rare that they don't allow a line to be moved. She did not believe it was an issue.
Commissioner McQueeney asked Ms.Valdez to summarize the request changes.
Ms.Valdez stated that the changes were road variances.
Ms. Mosby stated that previously there were three(3)variance requests. Previously the second building
envelope was accessed along the road they were requesting a variance on, forcing it to roadway standards. Since
the building envelope was no longer accessed on that road, it can remain a driveway standard, and therefore,there
was only the one existing portion of the road that was non-conforming.
Chairman Ryan opened public comment.
Carol Richardson, adjacent property owner spoke. She wondered where the home would be built.
Dave Wirth, adjacent property owner spoke. He appreated that the applicant relocated the building
envelope as long as everyone retained ownership of their respective properties.
Manual Pilas adjacent property owner spoke. He wishedto iee in a nice neighborhood and was concerned
with the number of lots being created and did not support tho subdivision:
Chairman Ryan closed public comment.
Ms.Valdez stated that they applicant was now proposing to building their home on 2B. If someone else
wanted to move or change the building envelope, it would require a public process. The road improvements and
utilities were a civil matter,not a standard of a subdivision. The applicant simply needed to prove they had legal
access.
Ms.Mosby stated that there was a plat note that the applicant had to make some improvements to the road
prior to building permit to meet the Gypsum Fire Departments concerns.
Merrill Lahman,property owner spoke. He stated that the work being done was so they could build a home
on the existing 35 acres. They were not trying to build a bunch of homes.
Commissioner McQueeney stated that she felt more comfortable now with the building envelope and
proposed access. There were now fewer variances and she appreciated the change. She believed the proposal had
been streamlined and there were some civil matters that could be worked out at a BBQ. She was sorry that the
applicant had to fix something that unfortunately hadn't been fixed prior to the purchase of the property.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry added her thanks to staff and the applicant for going back to the drawing
board. It seemed like this was a much more conforming application with fewer variances. The requested met the
criteria for a Minor A Subdivision, and she believed the standards for the Type A Subdivision were met with the
conditions.
Chairman Ryan agreed with the other commissioners. She thanked the applicant and staff. This seemed
like a good solution and was better for the neighbors. She agreed that the standards had been met, and agreed with
the proposed variances.
Commissioner McQueeney moved to approve file no. SMA-6420 Minor A Subdivision-Chaves Parcel 2,
based on its conformance with applicable standards and based on a review of the staff findings and authorized
the chair to sign the plat.

the Ranch, and through the PUD amendment process,the Ranch had been made aware of odor complaints during
the previous two summers. Staff and additional outside experts had initiated a review of the plumbing system and
would be investigating the source. The applicant believed that while the problem was under investigation it would
not be prudent to hold the hearing tonight and formally requested at tabling until June 27, 2017 at 5:30 pm.
