petition for the vacation of an equestrian easement on Lot 5 in the Re-filing of Lots 25-29 of Aspen
Mesa Estates, First Filing. Under the Eagle County Land Use Regulations, the equestrian easements are
considered to be public and are therefore subject to the requirements of Section 5-2200 Public Way and
Easement Vacations.
On December 30, 1989, the Aspen Mesa Homeowners Association in the "Third Amendment to
Reorganization and Amendment of Deed Restrictions for Aspen Mesa Estates" abolished all areas
designated as "green areas" and "equestrian easements" on the recorded plat of Aspen Mesa Estates,
First Filing. This document was recorded with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder under reception
No. 455701 on August 9, 1991 and is attached to this report.
Mr. Hamberg wishes to formally vacate the equestrian easement on Lot 5 in order to take full
advantage of the topography of the site, and avoid the boulder field portion of the lot.
Mr. Vengrin reviewed referral responses as follows:

07-26-1999
Holy Cross Energy: Jeffrey A. Franke, Staking Engineer for Holy Cross Energy responded with
a letter dated May 3, 1999 requesting that Holy Cross Energy "...retain a ten foot easement paralleling
the west property line." The letter is attached to this Staff Report.
Eagle County Attorney: Renee Black of the Eagle County Attorney's Office responded to my
request for information regarding the request for a utility easement by Holy Cross Energy. She
concurred with my conclusion that if there is no utility easement in place, the County cannot reserve one
as part of this vacation. A copy of the e-mail dialog is attached to this Staff Report.
County Surveyor: Bradley D. Peterson, Deputy County Surveyor from Johnson, Kunkel, &
Associates, Inc. responded with a letter dated May 28, 1999 noting that the legal description provided
does not describe all of the Equestrian Easement on Lot 5. The letter is attached to this Staff Report.
Staffhas no major concerns regarding the vacation ofthe equestrian easement as requested by
Mr. Hamberg. However, two issues remain to be resolved.
Utility Easement Holy Cross Energy has requested that a ten foot easement be retained along
the west property line. Staff is unable to verify the existence of a utility easement in that location. Staff
recommends that Eagle County forego action on this request since it is a matter between the owner of
Lot 5 and the utility company.
Legal Description Staff recommends that the legal description of the equestrian easement on Lot
5 proposed for vacation be revised to include the portion of the equestrian easement that overlaps the
Private Access and Utility Easement.
Mr. Vengrin reviewed staff findings as follows:
1. The applicant has filed a petition for a Vacation of Equestrian Easement in conformance with
the requirements of Section 5-2200.
2. Proper Public Notification for the petition has been issued in conformance with Section 5-
2200.BA.a and the petition is ready for consideration by the Eagle County Board of County
Commissioners.
3. The petition has demonstrated the vacation request to be in the general interest of the public's
health, safety, and welfare, not to be in violation oflaw, and to be in compliance with the Land Use
Regulations, and the Master Plan.
Staff recommended approval of this petition for vacation of the equestrian easement on Lot 5 of
the Re-filling of Lots 25-29 of Aspen Mesa Estates, First Filing, with the condition that the legal
description be revised to include the portion of the equestrian easement on Lot 5 that overlaps the
Private Access and Utility Easement.
Commissioner Johnson questioned if it is a public or private access.
Mr. Vengrin stated it is a private easement. He stated the equestrian easement is public. He re-
read staffs recommendation.. He stated the Roaring Fork Planning Commission has recommended
approval of this application.
Commissioner Johnson moved to approve file number G-00007, Equestrian Easement Vacation
on Lot 5, Re-filing of Lot 25 - 29, Aspen Mesa Estates, First Filing, incorporating staff findings and with
the condition the legal description be revised to include the portion of the equestrian on Lot 5 that
overlaps the private access and utility easement.
Commissioner Stone seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.

Jean Garren presented file number AFP-00068, Aspen Mesa Estates, Lot 5. She stated This
