1
07-24-2000
questioned why there are two easements.
Ms. Black stated they need one for construction and the other is for an existing road. She stated
they are not in the same location on the piece of property.
Chairman Stone stated for backup, all the Board has is the temporary right-of-way license which
is "H" "b". They don't have the right-of-way easement.

come back next week.

ZS-00062, Alpine Christian Academy
Jena Skinner, Planner, presented file number ZS-00062, Alpine Christian Academy. The Alpine
Christian Academy, a private school in the Resource Zone, received their first Special Use Permit (ZS-
352-94) in 1994 allowing them to open an educational facility on the property of the Basalt Bible
Church. The school was allowed to have the enrollment 150, with original grade levels, K through 8. In
1996 the ACA applied for an amendment to ZS-352-94 in order to allow for new construction; not to
increase enrollment, but to enlarge classroom spaces. Alpine Christian Academy seeks to amend its
current Special Use Permit (ZS-390-96) in order to increase enrollment from 150 students, to 220
students. The current grade levels are K through 10. The Academy would like to now operate K
through 12, having a limit of 14 students per classroom, 14 classrooms, or 196 students at this time. The
220 students are proposed to allow for flexibility in classroom size in the future.
This file first went before the Roaring Fork Valley Regional Planning Commission on May 4,
2000. The file was tabled until June 8,2000 in order for the applicant to collect additional information
the Planning Commission needed in rendering a decision.
At the June 8th hearing date, almost all of the issues from the previous meeting were the same.
They were as follows:
Alpine Christian Academy / Basalt Bible Church still needed an access permit,
Staffhad received letters from surrounded property owners stating they allowed the children to
play on their property, but no square footage numbers were received (PC requested information at May
4th hearing).
Staff received a current landscaping plan however, no proposed landscaping with Sagewood
5
07-24-2000
Townhomes was provided (as requested at May 4th hearing by PC).
Staff still questioned whether the current Special Use Permit condition regarding landscaping had
been satisfied. She stated the trees were to be re-situated around the modular which staff believes has
not been done. Adjacent property owners have expressed dissatisfaction with the current landscaping.
Ms. Skinner stated the applicant also disagrees with the review time which is in 2003, which is
the end of the lease. She stated in 1994 this location was for a temporary use until the next school
location was found. At the end of the lease this use will have continued for 10 years.
She stated the applicant is not in agreement with condition number 3 and 6 as follows:
3) Within sixty (60) days of the date of approval of this File No. ZS-00062 by the Board of Eagle
County Commissioners, Applicant shall have executed a Performance Bond with Eagle County pursuant
to Section 5-250.D of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations. Said Bond shall include, but not be
limited to, the costs associated with additional landscaping to be placed between Sagewood
Townhomes' property and Alpine Christian Academy (including the parking lot boundary). A Trash
enclosure shall also be constructed.
6) This Special Use Permit shall undergo a review pursuant to Section 5-250.C of the Eagle
County Land Use Regulations. on or before December 31 st ofthe year 2003, or at the termination ofthe
Lease Agreement, whichever is sooner.
Engineering still would like a Traffic Impact Study to show what the increase in traffic will be.
The Planning Commission still questioned whether location was appropriate for highschool
grades.
New issues:
It was discovered that the original application was for K through 8. Now operating K through
10. The applicant told the Planning Commission that they would now like K through 12.
The Planning Commission wanted to now why 220 students were being requested as the school
plans to regulate classroom numbers and class size to accommodate 196 students- max.
The termination of the Special Use Permit, as recommended by Staff in the previous Staff report-
The applicant did not think that it was necessary. The Planning Commission made a recommendation
for a Review instead of having the Special Use Permit expire.
The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions as follows:
1) Except as otherwise modified by this Permit, all material representations of the Applicant in
this application and public meeting shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval.
2) That ZS-00062 is to allow K through 12th grade with no more than 196 students. There shall
be no more than 64 students in the high school level (grades 9-12). This Special Use Permit shall be
reviewed by Eagle County Community Development prior to December 31 st ofthe year 2003, or at the
termination of the Lease Agreement, whichever is sooner.
3) Limit of (no more than) 20 student vehicle drivers able to park daily in the parking lot of the
Christ Community Church.
4) Within ninety (90) days of the date of approval of this File No. ZS-00062 by the Board of
Eagle County Commissioners, Applicant shall have erected a fence between the DOW land and ACA
property.
5) A trash enclosure shall be constructed.
Ms. Skinner stated the referral responses are found on staff report as follows:
Staffhas received numerous letters of support from people associated with the school (parents
and neighbors; see attached). However, Staffhas also received additional opposition from Sagewood
Townhomes' homeowners (see attached).
Engineering: in a memo dated June 29, 2000:
1) a traffic report enumerating the total trips generated by the existing use and the
proposed expansion of use should be provided.
2) Highway Access Permit trip generation numbers are not acceptable as they would be
6
07-24-2000
skewed because some of the uses are grand fathered.
Ms. Skinner stated staff findings are found on the staff report as follows:

Townhomes.
Ms. Skinner replied they are up the hill so approximately a 5% slope difference. She showed the
slide which is the view from Sagewood to the Academy.
Campbell Meyer, Isom and Associates, introduced William Collins, Headmaster of the Academy
and Karen Sloan. He stated they are going to increase the number of students at the school and have
floor plans to show the space available to accommodate more students. He spoke to the whole campus
and the agreements they have in place. He stated they have received approval from the Roaring Fork
Planning Commission. He stated the conditions suggested by engineering include a traffic report which
they have submitted. He spoke to the performance bond for landscaping and believes it is not necessary.

07-24-2000
He stated Bill Perot is present as the landscape architect. He stated there was an issue raised with the
proper placement of the planting. He referred back to the Board notes when this was raised as an issue
and specifically deleted by the Board was the specific spot where the trees were to be planted. He stated
the Academy has complied fully with its permits and they have the proper amount of planting to comply.
He stated as for the DOW and the recommendation of the fence to accommodate signage for regulations
governing that piece of property, they have not completed the survey of their lands. The Academy
would like to comply and will do so once the survey is done. He spoke to the stipulation for review. He
stated the Academy understands they are at maximum build out and believe this use has been running for
some time and the review may not be necessary. He last spoke to the high school students parking in a
different area. While that is a rule in place, the other condition is needed for them to park near the
Church and modular building. While most often parking will be in the Christ Community Church
parking lot, parking may be necessary elsewhere.
Chairman Stone asked of public comment. There was none.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if staff could respond to the landscaping issue.
Ms. Skinner stated on page 2 of the resolution it speaks to the landscaping and concurred it was
screening of the modular. She stated currently between the Sagewood Townhomes and the property line,
they have some of the trees, but the second half of the tree planting has not been done for screening
purposes.
Chairman Stone asked if it was true that second half of the planting hasn't taken place.
Mr. Meyer stated there are a significant number of seedlings to be planted. He stated there are
ten foot and five foot trees planted within the time. He stated there are potential planting's to further
plant the area.
Chairman Stone asked if they are just objecting to the bond.
Mr. Meyer responded that is correct.
Ms. Skinner stated the landscaping condition is to address the proposed planting.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if they have an idea of what is proposed. He asked if the intent
ofthe special use is temporary. He stated he understood when it was first granted it was temporary for
ten years.
Karen Sloan from Beatty and Chadwick, stated there was no mention of temporary in any of the
special permits. She stated there was a comment made at the hearing that it may be temporary but it was
not a condition of the special use. It was granted as a full use until it is not used as such.
Ms. Skinner stated it was represented by staff as a temporary use. She stated there was a letter
from Ellie Caryl asking Ken Long what was met by temporary use.
Commissioner Gallagher asked Bill Perot, Landscaping Service, if they currently have trees
ready to plant.
Mr. Perot stated they have to be planted to screen Sagewood from the modular. He showed the
area on the overhead. He showed where they will be placed because of the throughway. He stated they
do have adequate area to put up a screen. He stated they are in compliance with the previous
requirements. They are willing to comply with the landscaping suggestions to plant more trees and have
more available.
Chairman Stone asked if they are conifers or not.
Mr. Perot stated they can not block the whole area. He showed the other trees on the property.
He stated they are nurturing additional landscaping that are on irrigation systems, they are healthy and
they will grow.
Commissioner Gallagher asked how long it will take to have the landscaping plan put on paper.
Mr. Perot stated this is the first he has heard of an additional landscaping plan. The Board has
copies of the plan as it exists. He stated he can provide a future plan if needed.
Chairman Stone asked about the road between the two areas.
William Collins, the head of the school, responded they use that to get to the bus stop and then it
8
07-24-2000
is used for overflow parking for the residents of Sagewood.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if the slide was looking east or west.
Mr. Perot stated down the dirt path is where they will put the evergreens and the aspens blocking
the visual aspects.
Commissioner Phillips stated she has talked to some of the people at Sagewood who have
complained about the Basalt Bible Church more than the Academy. She feels they are being generous
by allowing them to use their property. She stated the major complaint she has heard is that the color
coordination is not something with which the owner was comfortable with. She asked about the color
combinations.
William Collins stated all of the sidings have been color matched and are the same color. He
stated two of the buildings have the dark brown roof shingles and the modular has light colored shingles.
Chairman Stone stated where they are is to address the items they are not in agreement on. He
stated with the discourse concerning the landscaping, they would like to review what was agreed to
previously. He believes the project is generally acceptable. He asked for a ten minute break.
Chairman Stone asked Ms. Skinner to review the information she presented them.
Ms. Skinner stated the first is a letter from Ellie Caryl dated May 16, 1994, to Ken Long
representing Alpine Christian Academy. She stated in that letter there are a number of questions asked,
one being the temporary use.
Chairman Stone read item 7 from the letter which asks how long is temporary and what will it be
used for in the future. It spoke to the use by right and the resource zoning.
Ms. Skinner referred to the staff report dated August 2, 1993 wherein she speaks to the temporary
nature and the desire to relocate when and if possible and the building being turned over to the Bible
Church.
Chairman Stone referred to Ken Long's response which suggests the Chapel may move to an
unknown location. He did not answer the question about the length of stay.
Ms. Skinner stated in the Planning Commission meetings it was also referred to as temporary.
Ms. Sloan suggested that this is Ellie's opinion and it does not say that the use of the buildings as
a school is temporary. She stated it did not appear in the special use permit.
Chairman Stone asked if they expect this to be a temporary or permanent use facility.
Ms. Sloan responded permanent.
Chairman Stone asked why they would have gotten a special use permit.
Renee Black responded a special use permit does not imply the use is temporary.
Chairman Stone asked if typically there is a time for review or a time for the permit to expire.
Ms. Black stated under the old regulations as long as the use continued under the special use and
the applicant is in compliance, the use is indefinite. Under the new regulations it can be limited and
there is a compliance check which has a recommendation that it be reviewed for compliance
periodically. This application is speaking to a new use for more students.
Chairman Stone stated if they never changed their use they'd be grand-fathered. But because of
the new request they must comply with the new regulations. He suggested the option was put in for
specific situations where the proposal needed enforcement.
Ms. Skinner read from the special use permit requirements.
Chairman Stone asked why staff would recommend this be reviewed in 2003 or at the end of the
lease.
Ms. Skinner stated the main reasoning is to ensure that everything conditioned has been fulfilled.
She stated as well, they can accommodate classroom space but the property is very small. She stated this
is a way to ensure that the school is functioning normally and in a healthy capacity. She stated it is also
because they interpret it to be a temporary facility.
Chairman Stone stated the original intent mayor may not have been temporary, but it is now
understood the applicant means it to be permanent. He recommends staff review this with a permanent
9
07-24-2000
use in place.
Commissioner Gallagher asked to review the conditions to get a better understanding about what
is or is not being agreed to.
Chairman Stone reviewed the conditions as follows.
1) Except as otherwise modified by this permit, all material representations of the applicant in
this application and all public meetings shall be adhered to and considered conditions of approval.
The applicant was in agreement with this item.
2) A Traffic Impact Study shall be completed prior to the Fall of2000 school session.
The applicant stated they can do that internally.
3) Within sixty (60) days of the date of approval of this File No. ZS-00062 by the Board of Eagle
County Commissioners, applicant shall have executed a Performance Bond with Eagle County pursuant
to Section 5-250.D ofthe Eagle County Land Use Regulations. Said Bond shall include, but not be
limited to, the costs associated with additional landscaping to be placed between Sagewood
Townhomes' property and Alpine Christian Academy (including the parking lot boundary). A trash
enclosure shall also be constructed.
Chairman Stone asked if what the objection was is the submission of the performance bond.
Mr. Meyer stated they have agreed with staff on the proposal of additional landscaping.
Chairman Stone asked if staff is still concerned about not having the performance bond.
Ms. Skinner stated as long as they do what they say, there will be no need for the performance
bond.
4) Applicant shall submit a Landscape Maintenance Plan pursuant to Section 4-240 of the Eagle
County Land Use Regulations. Said Plan shall be considered a condition ofthis Special Use Permit.
Chairman Stone asked if the said plan should include timing, location and number of trees.
5) Within ninety (90) days of the date of approval of File No. ZS-00062 by the Board of Eagle
County Commissioners, Applicant shall have erected a fence between the Division of Wildlife property
and Alpine Christian Academy property.
Mr. Meyer stated they do not agree with the ninety days of this date, but would like it to read 90
days from the receipt of the survey from the Department of Wildlife.
Ms. Skinner stated staff believes, as does the Planning Commission, they must rely on the DOW
to identify the property lines.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if the applicant knows where the lines are.
William Collins stated it makes good sense to put the fence in after the survey is complete. It is
their fence.
Ms. Skinner stated the area is quite limited so children are playing on the DOW's property.
William Collins stated the DOW wants to be able to post locations. The fence won't keep
anyone out.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if they have anything from the DOW requesting the fence.
Ms. Skinner stated it is included in their backup.
Chairman Stone stated it is a letter dated April 20, 2000 from the DOW to Ms. Skinner. He read

PDF -00051, Quartermoon Final Plat
Cliff Simonton, Planner, presented file number PDF-00051, Quartermoon Final Plat. He stated
given that more than three separate ownership interests in duplexes and triplexes are being created from
this Tract Q, the Minor B process is not available. This final plat functions essentially to fulfill the same
purpose. In total, thirteen separate lots plus common areas and easements are hereby created: two
single-family residences, four duplex structures, and one triplex structure.
The Preliminary Plan for this development was approved when the Board approved a PUD
Amendment for Arrowhead (including Lower Bachelor Gulch Village wherein is found Tract Q) on
April 27, 1998 (File N9. PDA-00007; Resolution No. 98-66); and recorded an accompanying Amended
Final Plat on May 19, 1998 (File No. AFP-00036; Reception No. 656899). At this time, the allowed
density in Tract Q was changed from 18 units to 49 "Multi-Family/Cluster Homes."
It should be noted that the PUD Amendment also allowed for Interval Ownership as a use-by-
right (although none is proposed with this File No. PDF-00051), and specifically provided "that non-
habitable space, including but not limited to porte-cocheres, roof overhangs, above-grade balconies and
retaining walls, may encroach into [the ten foot road right-of-way]."
Referral responses are attached to the staff report as follows:
Eagle County Engineering. The three Engineering comments have been satisfied.

Staff findings are also attached to the staff report as follows:
Pursuant to Section 5-280.B.5.b.(3) Final Plat for Subdivision - Action bv the Board of
County Commissioners: This Final Plat for Subdivision CONFORMS to the approval given to the
Preliminary Plan for Subdivision.
Pursuant to Section 5-280.B.3.e Standards of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations:
1) Consistent with Master Plan. The proposed subdivision IS consistent with the Eagle
County Master Plan and the FLUM of the Master Plan;
2) Consistent with Land Use Regulations. The proposed subdivision DOES comply
with all of the standards ofthis Section and all other provisions of these Land Use Regulations,
including, but not limited to, the applicable standards of Article 3, Zone Districts, and Article 4, Site
Development Standards.
3) Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. The proposed subdivision IS located and
designed to avoid creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or
require duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of
development.
(a) Utility and Road Extensions. Proposed utility extensions ARE consistent
with the utility's service plan or shall require prior County approval of an amendment to the service plan.
Proposed road extensions ARE consistent with the Eagle County Road Capital Improvements Plan.
(b) Serve Ultimate Population. Utility lines SHALL BE sized to serve the
planned ultimate population of the service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade under-sized
lines.
(c) Coordinate Utility Extensions. Generally, utility extensions shall only be
allowed when the entire range of necessary facilities can be provided, rather than incrementally
extending a single service into an otherwise un-served area.
4) Suitability for Development. The property proposed to be subdivided IS suitable for
development, considering its topography, environmental resources and natural or man-made hazards that
may affect the potential development of the property, and existing and probable future public
improvements to the area.
5) Compatible With Surrounding Uses. The proposed subdivision IS compatible with
the character of existing land uses in the area and DOES NOT adversely affect the future development
of the surrounding area.
Commissioner Gallagher asked about the chronology.
Keith Montag, Director of Community Development, stated the preliminary plan was completed
in 1998 as was an amended final plat. The applicant was able to start construction. This plat is creating
lots around existing foundations so they can establish lots or lot lines for these existing units.
Commissioner Gallagher moved the Board approve file number PDF-00051, incorporating
Staff's Findings, reflecting those findings in the minutes and authorize the Chairman to sign the plat.
Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
There being no further business to be brought before the Board the meeting was adjourned until
July 31, 2000.
