Work Session Fire District Project Updates -Dominic Mauriello Work Session GOCO Inspire Initiative-Gina Van Hekken Planning File 1. SMA-6420 Minor A Subdivision-Chaves Parcel 2 Location: 320 and 324 Eagle Street,Gypsum area Owner: Marisa and Merril Lahman Staff Planner: Kris Valdez,MURP,AICP Staff Engineer: Nicole Mosby,PE, CFM 2 06/20/2017 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. 3 06/20/2017 Commissioner Chandler-Henry seconded the motion and including the three(3)conditions as presented.

Staff and additional outside experts had initiated a review of the plumbing system and would be investigating the source.
