Eby Creek Mesa Subdivision
Phil Scott, Engineering Technician, presented a partial release of
collateral for Eby Creek Mesa Subdivision, Phase I. Inspections have been
made on site and recommended the original amount of $528,760.00 and retain
$494,991.60.
Jim Fritze, Connty Attorney, stated this a$reement is technically in
breech as the current Letter of Credit expires ln few days. He stated the
Board did not require full collateral, but accepted a little more than half.
He stated the agreement provides a new Letter of Credit be supplies for the
2nd years collateral. Mr. Fritze informed the Board Alpine Bank contacted
the Connty regarding said letter and wanted to know the amonnt needed.
Mary Jo Berenato, Deputy County Attorney, stated she met with the
applicants on August 3, 1994 discussing the thirty-eight lots the County held
as collateral. She stated at the time of the meeting she did not realize the
County did not want the lots to remain as collateral.
Mr. Fritze stated a letter was sent to the applicant indicating the
situation. He related the applicant has not responded at this time. He
stated the Subdivision Improvements Agreement clearly states once the work
has been successfully completed the lots will be deeded back to the
developer.
Wendy Sachs, developer, asked if the Connty has not received a faxed
copy of the Letter of Credit from Alpine Bank.
Mr. Fritze stated he was told the Letter of Credit was on hold.
Brian O'Reilly, Attorney representing the applicant, reviewed prior
meetings with Connty Staff. He stated he believes the County should reduce
the collateral.
Mr. Fritze stated the first two meetings between County Staff and the
applicant referenced by Mr. O'Reilly, resulted in discussion on Phase II
collateralization. He stated collateralization of Phase I was not discussed.
He stated the Connty does have the lots, two of which are of some value, and
the other lots are ln Phase III. He stated in the letter, Ms. Berenato
stated Staff did not have the authority or direction from the Board to reduce
the amount of collateral.
Commissioner Gates asked if Staff had a recommended solution.
Les Finkelstein, subdivider, stated all contracts have been warranted
with Phase I, and by October 7, 1994 all improvements will be completed for
Phase I, fully ahead of the date in the Subdivision Improvements Agreement
and on time. He stated the Engineering Department has the schedule.
Mr. O'Reilly stated meeting with the Staff makes good sense. He stated
the contracts were based on maintaining the lots as collateral and
contemplated the lots would make up the difference in the collateral amount.
Chairman Phillips suggested this matter be tabled to allow Staff time to
meet with the applicant.
Mr. Fritze stated $494,911.00 is the amount left for improvements as a
result of Phase I and Phase II. He suggested the Board table this nntil
later in the day.
Commissioner Gates moved to table this matter to 3:30 p.m. today.

first plat for Beaver Creek PUD.
Ms. Berenato asked the applicant to provide copies of that agreement to
Staff.
Mr. Montag stated the Connty has a Subdivision Improvements Agreement
and a Road Improvements Agreement.
Tom Ra;Jonetti, Attorney for the applicant, requested if the Board
approves thlS application the documents not be recorded for one year. He
stated the recording triggers some requirements the applicant cannot meet
without the zoning being free of challenge. He stated the Subdivision
Improvements Agreement would not take effect until recordation of the plat,
however the applicant would like to complete some of the road work so will
sign and collateralize the Road Improvements Agreement.
Commissioner Gates asked if the applicant could not accomplish the same
results with a grading permit.
Mr. Ragonetti stated the applicant is trying to have all approvals in
place.
Chairman Phillips asked if the applicant thought the improvements would
be complete in six months.
Mr. Ragonetti stated it is likely, however the approval would require
dates be met that might be impossible.
Commissioner Johnson stated he is hesitant to consider the extension of
something not yet approved and would rather have the applicant come back
showing good cause.
Mr. Ragonetti stated the applicant is trying to be candid because it is
more efficient to obtain the approvals now.
Ms. Berenato stated it is the Connty's law suit that is pending and
stated she does not believe it will be heard in six months.
Mr. Ragonetti stated if the dockets are crowded they will need a year.
Ms. Berenato asked the Board to authorize the Chairman to sign the plat
and the Subdivision Improvements Agreement when ready to record. She stated
Staff will receive a letter of credit and the Chairman needs to be authorized
to sign the Road Improvements Agreement. She stated should the Board decide
to approve the request she would ask the Board to initial the plat, which
will remain on file in Community Development until it is recorded.
Discussion continued on the request.
Commissioner Gates moved to authorize the Chairman to sign the final
plat prior to recording, the Subdivision Improvements Agreement at the time

record the document, however, the applicant would like to remind the Connty
the purchasers of the property are not subject to the road construction
costs. He stated adjacent property owners would be allowed to join the
association and pay a pro-rata share.
Commissioner Johnson expressed concerns of the section in the
declaration indicating a road would be rebuilt unless 80% of the owners voted
not to rebuild. He stated the declaration also indicated the association can
disband.
Mr. Travers stated there is a statutory provision which provides for not
maintaining common areas.
Ms. Berenato asked who would own the roads in this subdivision.
Mr. Travers stated the roads are an easement and the interest in the
easement will be held by the association.
B.B. Anderson, applicant, stated where the road runs through the
property the property owner owns the road. He stated it is part of the
parcel and the owners give cross easements.
Commissioner Johnson stated in his opinion that would be group ownership
and would then be owned by the association.
Discussion continued on maintenance and ownership of the roads.
George Jouflas, adjacent property owner, stated he feels Mr. Anderson
has gone out of his way to meet the needs of everyone and recommended the
Board approve the application.
Rich Delia, adjacent property owner, stated he does not have a problem
with the private road and believes there is a tie with the property owners
below through a single easement.
Mary Ann Metternick, adjacent property owner, apologized for not being
present two weeks ago. She expressed concerns with water and fire
protection. She stated she would like to see similar steps taken as in other
subdivisions, i.e. water tanks and fire hydrants.
Doug Maxwell, adjacent property owner, stated he would like to see
adequate fire protection and water supply. He stated he feels addin;J wells
house to house will diminish the water supply and requested the Commlssioners
deny the application until adequate water supply can be obtained.
Kevin Lindahl, representing Charlie Palmer and Heide Jouflas, stated if
the County insists on the recording of the declaration, certain clean ups
should be taken care of beforehand. He stated he believes Mr. Anderson has
been dili;Jent in addressing all the County's concerns.
Commlssioner Johnson referenced the Dolan case and the fact there was
inconsistency in the formula's.
Ms. Berenato asked if Mr. Anderson was familiar with the easements
between George Jouflas, Henry Hall and Oscar Wyatt.
Mr. Anderson stated all easements reference a payment for a pro-rata
share of the maintenance. He stated he has not seen an easement where no one
has to pay for road maintenance.
Ms. Berenato stated she did not realize the other easements existed.
Jenny Maxfield, area resident, asked if Mr. Anderson had a sprinkler
system and an 1,000 gallon water tank.

things. She questioned the money into the wildlife fund.
Chairman Phillips stated that fund will be managed by the Division of
wildlife.
Commissioner Gates stated he would not know how to phase a motion
without a bunch of conditions.
Mr. Knight stated there are questions on finalizing the agreements and
having the agreement signed before final plat.

Commissioner Gates moved to approve the creation of the sixteen lots,
9
including private roads, incorparating Staff findings and recommendations.
commissioner Johnson seconded the motion.
In discussion, commissioner Johnson stated he believes the Board must
realize this is not a case of the takings and they are talking about a
subdivision not a private lot. He stated the Connty Land Use Regulations
must be followed.
Chairman Phillips asked Staff is they believed water and fire concerns
were being addressed.
