G-00006, Vacation of Public Way, Eagle Crest Drive and
1041-0017 Lake Creek 1041 Tank Amendment
John Venegrin, Engineering Department, presented file number G-00006, Vacation of Public
Way, Eagle Crest Drive, Lake Creek Meadows, Lot 22, Block 6. He suggested the two files be heard
concurrently. He stated this was a petition for vacation of a portion of Eagle County Road No. LC-5,
also known as Eagle Crest Road. The purpose of the vacation is so the owner of the property can
construct a water tank. He stated this has been advertised and was heard by the Planning Commission
and they added a condition to those recommended by staff. With that addition, the Engineering
Department finds the application in order. He read staff findings as follows for file number G-00006:
The following findings are germane;
1) The request for vacation conforms to Section 5-2200 of the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations, effective January I, 1999;
2) Public notice was given and comments were received and evaluated pursuant to the Eagle
4
04-26-1999
County Land Use Regulations, effective January 1, 1999;
3) Referrals were given and comments were received and evaluated pursuant to the Eagle county
Land Use Regulations, effective January 1, 1999;
4) the proposed application does benefit the needs of a public agency and will provide for
services to the public without significant damage to the responsibilities of Eagle county.
Staff recommend the application be approved with the conditions 1, 2, and 3 found on page 5 of
staffs report as follows:
1) The 20' utility easement which parallels the south lot line of Lot 22 must be extended
to the new right-of-way line created by the vacation.
2) A quit claim deed and resolution, along with a construction easement and an
access/utility easement, must be recorded prior to the vacation being considered effective.
3) Approval of File No. G-00006 is contingent upon approval of File No. 1041-0017,
Lake Creek Tank 1041 Amendment, by the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners.
Commissioner Johnson asked about condition #4 under item VII of staffs report.
Bob Loeffler, Deputy County Attorney, stated that was the case unless the 1041 was not
approved. Staff recommended approval.
Tambi Katieb, Environmental Policy Planner, presented file number 1041-0017 Lake Creek 1041
Tank Amendment. He stated this was a request to amend Permit No 1041-0017 to move the water tank
10 feet. Mr. Katieb stated the proposal is to replace a leaking tank. The approved new tank is expected
to increase fire flows and provide an adequate water supply to district users. Since that approval, the
District has revealed through engineering and grading design that the burden of placing the tank in it's
entirety on the private property in question would produce a visual impact to the lot that was
unacceptable. This application seeks to situate a small portion of the tank in an Eagle county Right-of-
Way to lessen the impact on the Meadows Subdivision. It should be noted that a petition for vacation of
the affected right-of-way has also been submitted, and that this approach was originally encouraged by
the County Engineer at the time of the permit approval last year. He spoke to the referral responses.
They have no concerns or issues and find the amendment in compliance. He read staff findings as
follows:

sewage services;

meeting the requirements of the Colorado Department of Health;

Permit application;

maintained during the construction of this water tank. Erosion and sediment control plans, which
specifically address installation and maintenance of control structures, shall be submitted for sufficiency
review, to the Eagle County Environmental Health and the County Engineer prior to any disturbances on
site.
Commissioner Johnson asked why the County Engineer is recommending approval of the 1041

Mr. Venegrin stated that was a Planning Commission request and he stated if they did the
vacation before the right of way, they would be out a portion of the right of way.

prior to any disturbances on site.
