This being a scheduled Public Hearing the following items were presented
to the Board of County Commissioners for their consideration:
Building Pennit #6188, Appeal Hearing
Chai:rrnan Phillips opened the meeting with the first item on the agenda,
a hearing regarding denial of building permit application number 6188, Chris
Hall.
Wendell Porterfield, Attorney representing the applicant, stated Mr.
Hall is now stuck between a rock and a hard place. He stated the property
was subdivided in 1970 and a residence and deck were built in 1973. Mr.
Porterfield stated Land Use Regulations were adopted in 1974, which stated
there shall be 30 foot setbacks from a live stream. He stated the Land Use
Regulations were amended in 1984, increasing the live setback to 50 feet.
The existing deck then encroached into the live stream setback. In 1993 Mr.
Hall was to make renovations, one of which was to enclose the deck and add
height. There was no additional electrical work or plumbing and the deck was
not to be expanded. Mr. Porterfield went to Staff, paid for the building
permi t and was told there did not appear to be any problems. The applicant
then proceeded to tear out the old deck, pour footers and called for an
inspection, which was performed in late October. The footers were approved
at that time. He informed the Board later, Mr. Hall received a letter from
the County suggesting there could be a ~roblem and advised him to either
redesign the project or apply for a varlance. Mr. Hall filed for variance
which was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission, but was denied
by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Suit was filed in Eagle County District
Court and a letter was sent by Eagle County indicating the Building Permit
was denied.
sid Fox, Planning Manager, stated there was a pre-application
conference in which the site plan was reviewed. He stated the setback
measurement was from the property line, which occurs in the middle of the
stream, and the Land Use Regulations require the measurement to be from the
high water mark.
Commissioner Gates stated part of the problem was created because of the
change in the amount of setback.
Mary Jo Berenato, Deputy County Attorney, stated during the Zoning Board
of Adjustment hearing, a motlon was made for approval, but there were only
three aye's and the law requires four votes.
Mr. Porterfield stated County Regulations also require a permit to
remove an existing deck.
Discussion continued on the denial of building permit number 6188.
Commissioner Johnson moved to take this matter under advisement and
render a written decision within twenty (20) days.
Commissioner Gates seconded the motion.
In discussion, Commissioner Gates asked if this decision would put the
applicant into a hardship.
Mary Jo Berenato stated the applicant has filed this application with
1
District Court concerning the variance issue and the building permit issue.
Chai:rrnan Phillips called for the question on the motion. The vote was
declared unanimous.

mitigate some of the impacts on this hillside. Mr. Heicher presented a map

the fund.
