09-18-2000
Chairman Stone spoke to a letter that was faxed to them today from the School District. They
also have received a letter from Steve Isom, Isom and Associates, asking that they postpone the decision
on the School District until a workable solution has been found and to do so at final plat.
Steve Isom stated they met with the School District who asked that they have all the reports and
studies done. He suggested one issue the Board could help with is a determination that the regulations
for the size and site of the proposed school as determined by staff are correct.
Chairman Stone asked that the applicant resolve their issues with the School District in whole
rather than in part. He read parts ofthe School District letter into the record as follows:
"Parcel Size: the recent change to the interpretation of the type of units proposed for the project
is disturbing from the standpoint of this change coming after three years ofproject review. The project
approvals granted thus far were predicated on the assumption that the dedication of 6.73 usable acres
would provide a viable school site. This dedication of 6.73 acres was established by the previously
approved preliminary plan. Regardless of this creative interpretation, there is little doubt as to the
magnitude of student generation that will result from this project. Baring any legal complications with
regard to what the County can require, we feel the applicants previous commitment of 6.73 acres should
be honored."
Chairman Stone asked Bob Loeffler if somebody has gotten an approval for a certain number of
acres, what can the Board say. Can the Board make a determination one way or another.
Mr. Loeffler responded he is not sure how they came to the agreement of 6.7 acres when this
preliminary plan was approved. Right now the condition is written as 6.7 acres and he believes that is
enforceable. The proposed amendment, as long as it is not increased, is what they can use. It came to
light when they felt they might have to find acreage elsewhere, the County thought the correct formula
was 4.5 acres. He believes the Board can do that even if it approves the amendment. If they are talking
about acreage elsewhere, that is probably what they'll have to look for.
Chairman Stone asked what is the difference between a consideration of mobile homes or
modular homes.
Mr. Montag stated the Land Use Regulations do differentiate between single family homes and
mobile homes and the formula changed.
Chairman Stone asked whether they are called mobile homes or modular homes, what is the
difference between the number of children.
Mr. Montag stated the theory is that based on population statistics and research and the number
of students generated, there are more generated in mobile home developments. That information is
documented.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if the School District has satisfied the need for this considering
the two new schools being built at this time.
Mr. Montag stated according to their letter they feel they need the site based on the number of
children that may be generated.
Chairman Stone stated he is not going to change the acreage at this time. He believes the
applicant should work it out with the School District and if they are not able to do so, they will present
that to the Board of County Commissioners at final plat.
Commissioners Gallagher and Phillips concurred.
Commissioner Phillips asked if they can approve this today and leave that decision to final plat.
Chairman Stone stated today they are talking to an amendment and normally this final dedication
doesn't happen until final plat. If they have to move the number of acres it will change the applicant's
plan dramatically. He doesn't believe the Commissioners will be making the determination of what is
safe or unsafe. He stated Karen Strakbein was present and that it sounds like the two entities are trying
to work together.
Tom Braun, representing Eagle County School District, stated they had Board members
interested in reviewing the geological report and whether land or cash were appropriate. A couple of
4
09-18-2000
board members were missing from that meeting. Thus they wrote the letter to allow the School District
Board to better educated themselves. He would like to make sure the letter is a part of the record and
would like the six items identified to be responded to. He reviewed the six items as follows:
A) The applicant commits to the implementation of any and all mitigation measures as necessary
to ensure the site is buildable and the hillside is stable and not a hazard to the 6.73 acre school site. All
such mitigation measures shall be complete and accepted by the District prior to the issuance of any
building permit for residential or commercial development within the Two Rivers PUD.
B) The acceptance of both the design and construction of all mitigation measures shall be made
by the District based on input and evaluation from the Colorado Geologic Surveyor at the discretion of
the District, based on input and evaluation from a qualified independent third party. Decisions on
acceptance shall be made with respect to whether the site is deemed buildable and the hillside is stable
and not a hazard to the school site.
C) The applicant shall include in their initial final plat submittal, the design and cost estimates of
all proposed mitigation measures. Such design and cost estimates shall be approved by the District
based on input from the Colorado Geologic Surveyor at the discretion of the District, based on input
from a qualified independent third party.
D) The applicant shall provide financial security equal to the estimated costs of such mitigation
measures in a manner acceptable to the District and the County prior to approval of final plat.
E) The on-going maintenance of any and all mitigation measures shall be the responsibility of the
applicant, metropolitan district or other entity acceptable to the District. Written binding commitments
for on-going maintenance shall be provided as part of the final plat application.
F) Utility improvements and any off-site road improvements necessary to serve the dedication
site shall be included in the applicants final plat submittal and the cost of such improvements shall be
included in the project subdivision improvements agreement.
He stated there were three issues that needed to be addressed as well.
Chairman Stone stated they would accept the letter but they would not now make those
conditions of approval as he believes there is still time to work out those issues.
Commissioner Phillips suggested they will continue to review and consider the requests.
Mr. Braun stated he does believe the change in the size is an issue that the Board must address.
They thought it was 6.7 and if it is changed, it has to be by amendment.
Mr. Loeffler stated the condition that exists right now is a 6.7 acre site on the north side. That is
a condition of the preliminary plan. That may stay the same, even if they approve this amendment.
Mr. Isom stated they have submitted a letter requesting an amendment for 4.5 acres.
Mr. Braun stated making that determination will allow them all to move forward.
Commissioner Phillips asked if the acreage will remain on the north side.
Richard Poffenberger, representing Two Rivers Village, stated he would like them to continue to
work on this.
Chairman Stone stated the School District must certify there is a need and would like that
determination made by them. If not, the Board will make a decision when needed.
Chairman Stone stated except for the grading permit, they should hear these two files, make a
decision and then talk about the grading permit.
Commissioner Phillips asked if the letters are in the file.
Chairman Stone stated they will accept both letters into the record. He asked if they should have
staff findings read to make sure they know what they are voting on.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if they have taken any action on this file.
Mr. Montag stated only to table it to today.
Chairman Stone suggested the only split was on the lot size. He stated he is looking to take
action on the amendment and a vote on the variance to improvement standards.
Helen Migchelbrink, County Engineer, stated staff findings are included in staffs report and are
5
09-18-2000
as follows:
1. The applicant has filed a petition for a Variance Permit from the Improvement Standards in
conformance with the requirements of Section 5-260.G ofthe LUR.
2. The petition has been properly advertised and is ready for consideration by the Board of
County Commissioners.
3. The road designs proposed by the petitioner will provide a road design that is equally durable
and will provide for an equivalent level of public safety to the Urban Collector, Urban Residential and
Rural Access Road designation standards of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations.
4. The applicant has demonstrated that the hardship of not granting the variances exceed any
currently perceived adverse impacts on the health, safety, and welfare of persons affected, or adverse
impacts to the affected lands.
Commissioner Gallagher moved the Board approve File Number VIS-0009, Two Rivers Village,
incorporating staff findings and granting a variance from the Improvement Standards.
Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Keith Montag stated the findings for file number PDA-00028 are positive as conditioned.
Chairman Stone asked about the request for the waiver of the road impact fee.
Mr. Loeffler stated that is normally a condition of final plat. He stated it wasn't requested
formally and the applicant understands that it is probably not an option.
Commissioner Phillips suggested they signaled that they were not going to approve a waiver.
Chairman Stone suggested the other issue was a change in lot size. Two of them agreed they
were not changing the lot size.
Commissioner Phillips asked if these are the eleven conditions that they have in their packet.
They have stricken some and renamed M and F.
Mr. Montag concurred. He stated that action occurred with the discussion between staff and the
applicant.
Commissioner Phillips asked if the applicant agreed.
Mr. Isom answered yes.
Mr. Montag stated the only condition that could change is that relative to the lot size.
Mr. Loeffler stated one of those is the impact fee, that being submitted at final plat. He
questioned when they may want to deal with that. It is condition 10D.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if it is before them for action.
Chairman Stone suggested they leave it as it is and keep it as a condition of final plat.
Mr. Loeffler stated condition E is the school land dedication. He stated he thinks what is being
proposed is a reaffirmation to be concluded at final plat.
Chairman Stone stated on item E, items I - 4, he questioned if that is a reaffirmation of what has
already been approved.
Mr. Loeffler stated just the first part of # 1 and that they may need to change the language.
Chairman Stone suggested they change that as it currently reads.
Mr. Poffenberger suggested the condition read "prior to any approval of any final plats for this
project, the school land dedication and/or payment in lieu of, shall be determined."
Mr. Loeffler suggested that a semi-colon be added and then the existing language be included.
Mr. Poffenberger stated they have a difference of opinion and believes the current condition was
In error.
Commissioner Phillips stated these are not the conditions that were approved at preliminary plan.
Mr. Loeffler stated in lieu of the text ofE, simply say the provisions of condition 6 of the original
preliminary plan approval file PDP-0008, remain in effect provided that the school land dedication or
payment in lieu of shall be finally resolved prior to the approval of the final plat.
Mr. Poffenberger stated he doesn't like the first part and to hang the final plat on the school fees
6
09-18-2000
or land dedication be determined, leaves it open for everyone to negotiate. They would rather work with
the School District.
Mr. Loeffler stated they should maintain the status quo and that the parties will have to work
something out prior to final plat.
Commissioner Phillips suggested that what she is reading confuses the issues.
Mr. Poffenberger stated to say something else denies the amendment. To say it will be resolved
does not infer they have already made that decision.
Karen Strakbein stated she understands the amendment is on page 22 of 46 and that the requested
paragraph is inserted. She read the requested amendments. She asks if they accept this amendment, they
have accepted a lack of construction of the roadway. She asked if they are accepting that this will not
pay for that improvement. She stated she doesn't see any acreage size in that requested amendment. If
accepted they would not be changing the size of the site. She is concerned about them not requiring
payment ofthe excel/decelllane. She wants to be sure that they are not approving a site size change, but
they would be approving the none payment of the improvements.
Commissioner Phillips stated they were discussing the same thing. She referred to the changes
and suggested motion and the conditions of approval.
Ms. Strakbein stated she was reading from the planning commission recommendations.
Chairman Stone asked Mr. Isom for his explanation.
Mr. Isom stated ifthey want the school site, they should not bare the expense ofthe total site. He
stated they are getting hammered on a 6.7 acre site, there were not intersection changes involved.
Commissioner Phillips suggested the site may never become a school site, but they need to come
to some conclusions. They can leave those to final plat until they come to the decision on what they will
accept, the site or the money.
Chairman Stone asked for the schools they currently have under construction who is paying for
the improvements.
Ms. Strakbein stated on the land they own, they are paying. On Eagle Ranch, it is the developer
as they have dedicated the land. She stated the developer needs to provide an adequate location and they
will run the line from the development to where the land begins.
Chairman Stone asked if what Ms. Strakbein was reading is part of the preliminary plan
application. He asked if that appears anywhere. It is part of the application.
Mr. Montag stated typically that would be dealt with as the construction plans of final plat.
Mr. Isom stated the fourth one down dealt with the school site. He stated even though they don't
have turn lanes in the preliminary plan, they are asking that they don't have to be provided.
Ms. Migchelbrink stated the drawings that were submitted did show the turn lanes. They met
with CDOT who asked for two maps, one with the school and one without.
Mr. Loeffler stated he has language to propose. He stated this is in lieu of everything but the title
ofE. "Condition 6 ofthe original preliminary plan approval, file number PDP-0008, remains in effect,
provided the school land dedication, including its location, size and on and off site improvements,
related thereto, or the amount of fees in lieu thereof, shall be finally determined before the approval of
final plat".
Mr. Loeffler stated condition six of preliminary plan approval for file PDP-0008 remains in
effect.
Mr. Poffenberger stated the applicant would consent to that language ifthe School District is in
agreement.
Mr. Braun stated they are comfortable with that.
Staff findings are shown on staff report and are as follows:
The explicit Standard to be met is presented verbatim from the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations in the box. As conditioned. all findin!!s are positive.

09-18-2000
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-240.F.3.e Standards. The Sketch
Plan and Preliminary Plan for PUD shall comply with the following standards:
Section 5-240.F.3.e (1). Unified ownership or control.
The title to all land that is part of a PUD shall be owned or controlled by one (1) person. A
person shall be considered to control all lands in the PUD either through ownership or by written consent
of all owners of the land that they will be subject to the conditions and standards of the PUD.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (1) Finding
[+] Unified ownership or control. Title to all land IS NOT owned or controlled by one (1)
person; HOWEVER THAT all land owners have agreed and consented to this application.
Section 5-240.F .3.e (2). Uses.
The uses that may be developed in the PUD shall be those uses that are designated as uses that
are allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a limited use in Table 3-300, "Residential,
Agricultural and Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule", or Table 3-320, "Commercial and Industrial
Zone Districts Use Schedule", for the zone district designation in effect for the property at the time of the
application for PUD. Variations of these use designations may only be authorized pursuant to Section 5-
240 F.3.f., Variations Authorized.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (2) Finding
[+] Uses. The reference to Table 3-300 and Table 3-320 as stated is inappropriate for this
application since no new land addition is proposed. Subject property is currently zoned PUD and the
residential and commercial uses proposed ARE uses that are allowed in the PUD.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (3). Dimensional Limitations.
The dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD shall be those specified in Table 3-340,
"Schedule of Dimensional Limitations", for the zone district designation in effect for the property at the
time of the application for PUD. Variations of these dimensional limitations may only be authorized
pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3.f., Variations Authorized, provided variations shall leave adequate
distance between buildings for necessary access and fire protection, and ensure proper ventilation, light,
air and snowmelt between buildings.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (3) Findings:
[+] Dimensional Limitations. The reference to Table 3-340 and Table 3-320 as stated is
inappropriate for these applications since dimensional limitations are governed by the PUD Guide.
Variations of the dimensional limitations set forth in the PUD Guide may only be authorized pursuant to
Section 5-240 F.3.f., Variations Authorized, provided variations shall leave adequate distance between
buildings for necessary access and fire protection, and ensure proper ventilation, light, air and snowmelt
between buildings. In determining whether a Variation to create front setbacks in the
commercial/residential area should be granted. the following is found:
(a) Obtain Desired Design Qualities. A variation may be allowed that permits the integration of
mixed uses or allows for greater variety in the type, design and layout of buildings. Structures shall be
designed to be compatible, in terms of height, mass, scale, orientation and configuration, with other units
in the PUD and the surrounding area, yet shall avoid uniformity of design. Residential and non-
residential uses may be mixed together. Various types of residential uses may also be combined within
the PUD, to promote more efficient land use patterns and increased open space. The Board of County
Commissioners may require minimum yard setbacks, lot widths, and space between buildings of such
dimensions as they are determined to be necessary to provide adequate access and fire protection; to
ensure proper ventilation, light, air, and snowmelt between buildings; and to minimize the effects of
transmission of noise between units and between buildings. As a general guide, twenty (20) feet
between buildings shall be considered the minimum appropriate spacing.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (4) Off-Street Parking and Loading.
Off-street parking and loading provided in the PUD shall comply with the standards of Article 4,
8
09-18-2000
Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards. A reduction in these standards may be authorized
where the applicant demonstrates that:
Shared Parking. Because of shared parking arrangements among uses within the PUD that do
not require peak parking for those uses to occur at the same time, the parking needs of residents, guests
and employees ofthe project will be met; or
Actual Needs. The actual needs ofthe project's residents, guests and employees will be less than
those set by Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards. The applicant may commit
to provide specialized transportation services for these persons (such as vans, subsidized bus passes, or
similar services) as a means of complying with this standard.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (4) Finding
[+] Off-Street Parking and Loading. By virtue of prior Preliminary Plan approval, it HAS been
demonstrated that off-street parking and loading provided north of 1-70 and in the manufactured housing
component of Two Rivers Village can comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street
Parking and Loading Standards. As conditioned, Applicant's reduction in parking in the "Village
Center" for Shared Parking and/or Actual Needs IS acceptable.
Section 5-240.F .3.e (5) Landscaping.
Landscaping provided in the PUD shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 2,
Landscaping and Illumination Standards. Variations from these standards may be authorized where the
applicant demonstrates that the proposed landscaping provides sufficient buffering of uses from each
other (both within the PUD and between the PUD and surrounding uses) to minimize noise, glare and
other adverse impacts, creates attractive streetscapes and parking areas and is consistent with the
character of the area.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (5) Findings
[+] [+] Landscaping. By virtue of prior Preliminary Plan approval, it HAS been demonstrated
that landscaping provided in the proposed PUD can comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 2,
Landscaping and Illumination Standards.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (6) Signs.
The sign standards applicable to the PUD shall be as specified in Article 4, Division 3, Sign
Regulations, unless, as provided in Section 4-340 D., Signs Allowed in a Planned Unit Development
(PUD), the applicant submits a comprehensive sign plan for the PUD that is determined to be suitable
for the PUD and provides the minimum sign area necessary to direct users to and within the PUD.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (5) Finding
[+] Signs. By virtue of prior Preliminary Plan approval, it has been shown that a comprehensive
sign plan suitable for the Two Rivers PUD EXISTS with the Two Rivers PUD Guide.
Section 5-240.F .3.e (7) Adequate Facilities.
The applicant shall demonstrate that the development proposed in the Preliminary Plan for PUD
will be provided adequate facilities for potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal,
electrical supply, fire protection and roads and will be conveniently located in relation to schools, police
and fire protection, and emergency medical services.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (7) Findin&:s
[+] Adequate Facilities. As conditioned, it HAS been demonstrated that the proposed
development will provide adequate facilities for potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste
disposal, or fire protection. Same HAVE previously been demonstrated to be conveniently located in
relation to schools, police and fire protection, and emergency medical services.
Section 5-240.F .3.e (8) Improvements.
The improvements standards applicable to the development shall be as specified in Article 4,
Division 6, Improvements Standards. Provided, however, the development may deviate from the
County's road standards, so the development achieves greater efficiency of infrastructure design and
9
09-18-2000
installation through clustered or compact forms of development or achieves greater sensitivity to
environmental impacts, when the following minimum design principles are followed:
(a) Safe, Efficient Access. The circulation system is designed to provide safe, convenient access
to all areas of the proposed development using the minimum practical roadway length. Access shall be
by a public right-of-way, private vehicular or pedestrian way or a commonly owned easement. No
roadway alignment, either horizontal or vertical, shall be allowed that compromises one (1) or more of
the minimum design standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) for
that functional classification of roadway.
(b) Internal Pathways. Internal pathways shall be provided to form a logical, safe and
convenient system for pedestrian access to dwelling units and common areas, with appropriate linkages
off-site.
(c) Emergency Vehicles. Roadways shall be designed to permit access by emergency vehicles to
all lots or units. An access easement shall be granted for emergency vehicles and utility vehicles, as
applicable, to use private roadways in the development for the purpose of providing emergency services
and for installation, maintenance and repair of utilities.
(d) Principal Access Points. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to provide for
smooth traffic flow, minimizing hazards to vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Where a PUD abuts a
major collector, arterial road or highway, direct access to such road or highway from individual lots,
units or buildings shall not be permitted. Minor roads within the PUD shall not be directly connected
with roads outside of the PUD, unless the County determines such connections are necessary to maintain
the County's road network.
(e) Snow Storage. Adequate areas shall be provided to store snow removed from the internal
street network and from off-street parking areas.
Section 5-240.F .3.e (8) Findin~s
[+] Improvements. As conditioned, it CAN be demonstrated that all of the improvements
standards applicable to the proposed development will be as specified in Article 4, Division 6,
PROVIDED that the Board of Eagle County Commissioners approves a Variation from Improvement
Standards (File No. VIS-00009).
Section 5-240.F.3.e (9) Compatibility With Surrounding Land Uses.
The development proposed for the PUD shall be compatible with the character of surrounding
land uses.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (9) Finding
[+] Compatibility with surrounding land uses. By virtue of its prior PUD Preliminary Plan and
Zone Change approvals, the Two Rivers project has already been determined by the Board of Eagle
County Commissioners to be compatible with the character of surrounding land uses. The changes to
the Preliminary Plan proposed by this PUD Amendment, File No. PDA-00028, do not substantively alter
the findings of these prior approvals.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (10) Consistency with Master Plan.
The PUD shall be consistent with the Master Plan, including, but not limited to, the Future Land
Use Map (FLUM).
Section 5-240.F.3.e (10) Findings
[+] Consistency with Master Plan. By virtue of its prior PUD Preliminary Plan and Zone Change
approvals, the Two Rivers project has already been determined by the Board of Eagle County
Commissioners to be consistent with Eagle County's master plans. The changes to the Preliminary Plan
proposed by this PUD Amendment, File No. PDA-00028, do not substantively alter the findings of these
prior approvals.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (11) Phasing
The Preliminary Plan for PUD shall include a phasing plan for the development. If development
10
09-18-2000
of the PUD is proposed to occur in phases, then guarantees shall be provided for public improvements
and amenities that are necessary and desirable for residents of the project, or that are of benefit to the
entire County. Such public improvements shall be constructed with the first phase of the project, or, if
this is not possible, then as early in the project as is reasonable.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (11) Finding
[+] Phasing. As conditioned, the proposed PUD Amendment DOES include an adequate
phasing plan for the development, and guarantees WILL BE provided with the Final Plat and as
otherwise established in the PUD Agreement for those public improvements and amenities necessary
and desirable for residents ofthe project, or that are of benefit to the entire County. Such public
improvements SHALL BE constructed with the first phase ofthe project, or, ifthis is not possible, then
as early in the project as is reasonable.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (12) Common Recreation and Open Space.
The PUD shall comply with the following common recreation and open space standards.
Minimum Area. It is recommended that a minimum of 25% of the total PUD area shall be
devoted to open air recreation or other usable open space, public or quasi-public. In addition, the PUD
shall provide a minimum often (10) acres of common recreation and usable open space lands for every
one thousand (1,000) persons who are residents of the PUD. In order to calculate the number of
residents of the PUD, the number of proposed dwelling units shall be multiplied by two and sixty-three
hundredths (2.63), which is the average number of persons that occupy each dwelling unit in Eagle
County, as determined in the Eagle County Master Plan.
Areas that Do Not Count as Open Space. Parking and loading areas, street right-of-ways, and
areas with slopes greater than thirty (30) percent shall not count toward usable open space.
Areas that Count as Open Space. Water bodies, lands within critical wildlife habitat areas,
riparian areas, and one hundred (100) year flood plains, as defined in these Land Use Regulations, that
are preserved as open space shall count towards this minimum standard, even when they are not usable
by or accessible to the residents of the PUD. All other open space lands shall be conveniently accessible
from all occupied structures within the PUD.
Improvements Required. All common open space and recreational facilities shall be shown on
the Preliminary Plan for pun and shall be constructed and fully improved according to the development
schedule established for each development phase of the PUD.
Continuing Use and Maintenance. All privately owned common open space shall continue to
conform to its intended use, as specified on the Preliminary Plan for PUD. To ensure that all the
common open space identified in the PUD will be used as common open space, restrictions and/or
covenants shall be placed in each deed to ensure their maintenance and to prohibit the division of any
common open space.
Organization. If common open space is proposed to be maintained through an association or
nonprofit corporation, such organization shall manage all common open space and recreational and
cultural facilities that are not dedicated to the public, and shall provide for the maintenance,
administration and operation of such land and any other land within the PUD not publicly owned, and
secure adequate liability insurance on the land. The association or nonprofit corporation shall be
established prior to the sale of any lots or units within the PUD. Membership in the association or
nonprofit corporation shall be mandatory for all landowners within the PUD.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (12) Finding
[+] Common Recreation and Open Space. By virtue of prior Preliminary Plan approval, the PUD
HAS ALREADY BEEN shown to comply with the common recreation and open space standards
above. Relocation of the park from the west end of the PUD to the east end of the PUD does not
substantially alter this finding. Over 25% of the total PUD area IS devoted to open air recreation or
other usable open space, public or quasi-public, and the PUD DOES provide a minimum often (10)
11
09-18-2000
acres of common recreation and usable open space lands for every one thousand (I ,000) persons who are
to be residents of the PUD. The Improvements Required, Continuing Use and Maintenance, and
Organization Standards required SHALL BE met by or before approval of any Final Plat for this
project.
Section 5-240.F.3.e (13) Natural Resource Protection.

In no case shall any direct runoff into wetlands and/or the rivers and/or riparian habitat be allowed.
N. Revegetation/Reclamation Plan. Applicant shall submit a Revegetation/ Reclamation Plan for
the entire fill operation, with specific attention paid to (a) progressive revegetation/reclamation phasing
to match fill phasing; and (b) those areas of the site not to be developed into lots to be sold. While this
Plan may include components of previously approved project landscaping plan/s, it shall also include
restoration of native species destroyed by the fill operation, and portions of the project not otherwise
addressed in other landscaping plan/so All seed mixes, application methods and rates, and plant lists and
planing procedures shall be approved by either the C.S.U. Cooperative Extension, Eagle County or the

monitor parking in the commercial/residential area to ensure that same shall not be used excessively by
those outside the project and that adequate parking for all uses contemplated in "Two Rivers Village"
exists without on-street parking.
Mr. Montag questioned the change in minimum lot size, which is condition 10B.
Chairman Stone stated they are not going to change the lot size but there are four lots being
allowed at a different size.
Commissioner Gallagher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Chairman Stone asked about the grading permit.
Mr. Isom stated they would like to apply for a grading permit at this time.
Mr. Loeffler stated the Land Use Regulations do not allow for a grading permit until final plat.
They can change the regulations by going through the steps. He stated they could approve a temporary
regulation that would be good for thirty days after due notice. The Board would adopt a temporary
regulation then go through the normal process to make it a permanent regulation. The temporary permit
could be extended.
Chairman Stone asked about the grading permit that has expired.
Mr. Loeffler stated the Board approved a temporary regulation and that has long expired. They
would have to repeat that process. He suggested they should schedule that accordingly.
Commissioner Phillips stated it is not like they haven't had notice. She stated they previously
approved the permit to get things going. She stated it made sense at the time. She doesn't know what
process they are talking about and if it has to come back they would have to be in agreement. The
20
09-18-2000
reasons that they wanted it are still valid.
Commissioner Gallagher stated he would like to proceed with that and get an indication as to
why it is not part ofthe regulations now.
Mr. Poffenberger asked if an individual with property in the County can come in and request an
excavation permit on the land. He spoke to the adjacent land owner.
Mr. Montag stated in this situation there is a pending file. He stated the regulations are pretty
clear that if there is a application in process, they do not issue a grading permit until the final plat has
been approved. He stated if they move forward with a grading permit prior to final plat, the applicant
will still have to submit the plans and the collateral.
Mr. Isom stated the collateral is for revegetation.
Mr. Loeffler suggested that there is a time to do it.
Chairman Stone stated the indication is the Board is willing to hear the request, but they must
come through the regular process.
PDA-00029, Red Rock Ranch pun
Joseph Forinash, Planner, presented file number PDA-00029, Red Rock Ranch PUD. He stated
Red Rock Ranch PUD is a development which includes a total of six residential lots. Lots 1 through 4
range from 2.683 acres to 2.975 acres. Lots 5 and 6 are 20.0 acres and 30.0 acres in size, respectively.
This proposed amendment to the PUD Guide would increase the maximum floor area for Lots 1 through
4 from 4,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet. The maximum floor area for Lot 5 is 6,000 square feet
and for Lot 6 is 8,000 square feet.
In 1991, the Board of County Commissioners approved the Red Rocks Ranch PUD creating six
residential lots, open space and right-of-way.
In 1995, the Board of County Commissioners approved a plat which amended the building
envelope for Lots 5 and 6.
In 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved a plat which amended the building
envelope for Lot 1.
Staff findings are found on staff report and are as follows:
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-240.F.3.e Standards for the
review of a PUD Preliminary Plan:
STANDARD: Unified ownership or control. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (1)] The title to all land that
is part of a PUD shall be owned or controlled by one (1) person. A person shall be considered to
control all lands in the P UD either through ownership or by written consent of all owners of the land
that they will be subject to the conditions and standards of the PUD.
This application has been submitted by the Red Rock Ranch Homeowners Association, which is
comprised of property owners within the PUD. Residential lots are owned by respective property
owners. While the Applicant does not own the entire site in fee simple, it is comprised of the respective
property owners and represents them in this application. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Unified ownership or control. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (1)
The title to all land that is part of this PUD IS NOT owned or controlled by one (1) person.
HOWEVER, the Applicant is the Red Rock Ranch Homeowners Association, which is comprised of all
the property owners within the PUD.
STANDARD: Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (2)] The uses that may be developed in the PUD shall
be those uses that are designated as uses that are allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a
limited use in Table 3-300, "Residential, Agricultural and Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule", or
Table 3-320, "Commercial and Industrial Zone Districts Use Schedule'~ for the zone district designation
in effectfor the property at the time of the applicationfor PUD. Variations of these use designations
21
09-18-2000
may only be authorized pursuant to Section 5-240 F3.j, Variations Authorized.
No changes in use have been proposed as a part of this Amendment. Staff makes a favorable
finding.
FINDING: Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (2)]
The uses that may be developed in the PUD ARE those uses that are designated as uses that are
allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a limited use in the Planned Unit Development Guide in
effect for the property at the time of the application for the PUD Amendment.
STANDARD: Dimensional Limitations. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (3)] The dimensional limitations
that shall apply to the PUD shall be those specified in Table 3-340, "Schedule of Dimensional
Limitations': for the zone district designation in effect for the property at the time of the application for
PUD. Variations of these dimensional limitations may only be authorized pursuant to Section 5-240
F3.j, Variations Authorized. provided variations shall leave adequate distance between buildingsfor
necessary access and fire protection, and ensure proper ventilation, light, air and snowmelt between
buildings.
The sole purpose of this PUD Amendment is to increase the maximum floor area on Lots 1
through 4 from 4,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet. Lots 1 through 4 range in size from 2.683 acres to
2.975 acres. The sites are relatively flat. Neither the building envelopes or the building heights would
be changed. The Applicant asserts that the increase in the floor area would permit better use of space
above garages on the sites. Staff sees no significant adverse impacts of the greater floor area and makes
a favorable finding.
FINDING: Dimensional Limitations. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (3)]
The dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD ARE NOT those specified in the
Planned Unit Development Guide in effect for the property at the time of the application for the PUD
Amendment. However, a variation MAY be granted as part of the approval of this PUD Amendment.
STANDARD: Off-Street Parking and Loading. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (4)] Off-street parking
and loading provided in the PUD shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street
Parking and Loading Standards. A reduction in these standards may be authorized where the applicant
demonstrates that:
(a) Shared Parking. Because of shared parking arrangements among uses within the PUD that
do not require peak parking for those uses to occur at the same time, the parking needs of residents,
guests and employees of the project will be met; or
(b) Actual Needs. The actual needs of the project's residents, guests and employees will be less
than those set by Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards. The applicant may
commit to provide specialized transportation services for these persons (such as vans, subsidized bus
passes, or similar services) as a means of complying with this standard.
Permitted uses on the lots within the PUD include single family dwellings and accessory uses,
not including accessory dwelling units. At the time of the approval of the PUD Preliminary Plan, it was
found that adequate, safe and convenient off-street parking had been provided. Table 4-120 of the Land
Use Regulations currently requires 3 parking spaces per single family dwelling unit, without regard for
the number of bedrooms. Consequently, the greater floor area will not increase the amount of parking
required on each lot. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Off-Street Parking and Loading. [Section 5-240.F.3.e 4)
It HAS previously been found at the time that the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved
that adequate, safe and convenient parking and loading was being provided. The proposed PUD
Amendment WILL NOT adversely effect the adequacy of the existing off-street parking and loading.
STANDARD: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)] - Landscaping provided in the PUD
shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 2, Landscaving and Illumination Standards.
Variations from these standards may be authorized where the applicant demonstrates that the proposed
22
09-18-2000
landscaping provides sufficient buffering of uses from each other (both within the P UD and between the
PUD and surrounding uses) to minimize noise, glare and other adverse impacts, creates attractive
streetscapes and parking areas and is consistent with the character of the area.
At the time that the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, there was no specific finding
regarding landscaping. The proposed PUD Amendment will neither adversely impact existing
landscaping nor require additional landscaping. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)]
Landscaping provided in the approved PUD Preliminary Plan DOES comply with the standards in effect
at the time the Preliminary Plan was approved. The proposed PUD Amendment DOES NOT impact
existing landscaping nor require additional landscaping.
STANDARD: Signs. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (6)] The sign standards applicable to the PUD shall
be as specified in Article 4, Division 3, Sign Regulations, unless, as provided in Section 4-340 D., Signs
Allowed in a Planned Unit Develovment (PUn), the applicant submits a comprehensive sign plan for the
pun that is determined to be suitable for the pun and provides the minimum sign area necessary to
direct users to and within the PUD.
At the time that the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, there was no specific finding
regarding signs. The proposed PUD Amendment will neither adversely impact existing signs nor require
additional restrictions on sign other than those already provided in the Land Use Regulations. Staff
makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Signs. [Section 5-240.F.3.e(6)]
The sign standards applicable to the PUD ARE as specified in Article 4, Division 3, Sign Regulations.
STANDARD: Adequate Facilities. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (7)] - The applicant shall demonstrate
that the development proposed in the Preliminary Planfor PUD will be provided adequatefacilitiesfor
potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, electrical supply, fire protection and roads
and will be conveniently located in relation to schools, police and fire protection, and emergency
medical services.
At the time the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that adequate facilities
were to be provided. The proposed PUD Amendment will not have an adverse effect on the adequacy of
these facilities. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Adequate Facilities. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (7)]
It HAS previously been found that adequate facilities were to be provided based on the Land Use
Regulations in effect at the time of approval ofthe Preliminary Plan for the PUD. The proposed PUD
Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect the provision of adequate facilities with respect to potable
water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, electrical supply, fire protection and roads, or
location in relation to schools, police and fire protection, and emergency medical services.
STANDARD: Improvements. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (8)] - The improvements standards
applicable to the development shall be as specified in Article 4, Division 6, Imvrovements Standards.
Provided, however, the development may deviate from the County's road standards, so the development
achieves greater efficiency of infrastructure design and installation through clustered or compact forms
of development or achieves greater sensitivity to environmental impacts, when the following minimum
design principles are followed:
(a) Safe, Efficient Access. The circulation system is designed to provide safe, convenient access
to all areas of the proposed development using the minimum practical roadway length. Access shall be
by a public right-o.fway, private vehicular or pedestrian way or a commonly owned easement. No
roadway alignment, either horizontal or vertical, shall be allowed that compromises one (1) or more of
the minimum design standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) for
that functional classification of roadway.
(b) Internal Pathways. Internal pathways shall be provided to form a logical, safe and
23
09-18-2000
convenient system for pedestrian access to dwelling units and common areas, with appropriate linkages
off-site.
(c) Emergency Vehicles. Roadways shall be designed to permit access by emergency vehicles to
all lots or units. An access easement shall be granted for emergency vehicles and utility vehicles, as
applicable, to use private roadways in the development for the purpose of providing emergency services
and for installation, maintenance and repair of utilities.
(d) Principal Access Points. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to provide for
smooth traffic flow, minimizing hazards to vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Where a PUD abuts
a major collector, arterial road or highway, direct access to such road or highway from individual lots,
units or buildings shall not be permitted Minor roads within the PUD shall not be directly connected
with roads outside of the PUD, unless the County determines such connections are necessary to
maintain the County's road network.
(e) Snow Storage. Adequate areas shall be provided to store snow removed from the internal
street network and from off-street parking areas.
At the time the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that adequate
improvements were to be made. The proposed PUD Amendment will neither adversely effect the
adequacy of these improvements nor warrant additional improvements. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Improvements. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (8)]
It HAS previously been found that adequate improvements were to be provided based on the
Land Use Regulations in effect at the time of approval of the Preliminary Plan for the PUD. The
proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect improvements regarding:
(a) Safe, Efficient Access.
(b) Internal Pathways.
(c) Emergency Vehicles
(d) Principal Access Points.
(e) Snow Storage.
STANDARD: Compatibility With Surrounding Land Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (9)] - The
development proposed for the P UD shall be compatible with the character of surrounding land uses.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the development was
compatible with other development in the area. The proposed PUD Amendment would permit
somewhat larger residential structures on Lots 1 through 4. However, given the size of the lots and
location of the building envelopes, the proposed increase in the permitted floor area will not adversely
affect the compatibility of the PUD with surrounding land uses. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Compatibility With Surrounding Land Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (9)]
The development proposed for the PUD IS compatible with the character of surrounding land uses. The
proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect this compatibility.
STANDARD: Consistency with Master Plan. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (10)] - The PUD shall be
consistent with the Master Plan, including, but not limited to, the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
The following analysis with respect to the Master Plan and the FLUM applies only to the changes
proposed in the PUD Amendment.

MID VALLEY COMMUNITY PLAN
EAGLE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING PLAN
VISION STATEMENT: Housing for local residents is a major priority of Eagle County. There
should be a wide variety of housing to fulfill the needs of all its residents, including families, senior
citizens, and those who work here. Elements of Eagle County's vision for housing are:
Housing is a community-wide issue
Housing should be located in close proximity to existing community centers, as defined in the
Eagle County master plan . . .
Development of local residents housing should be encouraged on existing . . . transit routes
Housing is primarily a private sector activity [but] . . . without the active participation of
government, there will be only limited success
It is important to preserve existing local residents housing
Persons who work in Eagle County should have adequate housing opportunities within the
county
Development applications that will result in an increased need for local residents housing should
be evaluated as to whether they adequately provide for this additional need, the same way as they are
evaluated for other infrastructure needs
POLICIES:
ITEM
1. Eagle County will collaborate with the private sector & nonprofit organizations to
develop housing for local residents
2. Housing for local residents is an issue which Eagle County needs to address in
collaboration with the municipalities. . .
3.
Steps should be taken to facilitate increased home ownership by local residents
and workers in Eagle County
x
4.
Additional rental opportunities for permanent local residents should be brought on
line. Some... should be for households with an income equivalent to or less than
one average wage job
x

Seasonal housing is part of the problem & needs to be further addressed. It is
primarily the responsibility of. . . employers. . .
x
6.
New residential subdivisions will provide a percentage of their units for local
residents
x
7.
Commercial, industrial, institutional, and public developments generating
increased employment will provide local residents housing. The first
preference will be for units on-site where feasible, or if not feasible, in the
nearest existing community center. . .

residents from having to compete with second home buyers. Where public
assistance or subsidies are provided for housing, there should generally be limits
on price appreciation, as well as residency requirements
x
12. Eagle County recognizes that housing for local residents is an ongoing issue
It has previously been found that the PUD is in conformance with the Master Plan. The proposed
PUD Amendment is not significant in character or magnitude to alter conformance with the Master Plan.
Staff also finds that the proposed PUD Amendment is in conformance with the Future Land Use Map,
and makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Consistency with Master Plan. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (10)]

STANDARD: Phasing [Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)] - The Preliminary Planfor PUD shall
include a phasing plan for the development. If development of the PUD is proposed to occur in phases,
then guarantees shall be provided for public improvements and amenities that are necessary and
desirable for residents of the project, or that are of benefit to the entire County. Such public
improvements shall be constructed with the first phase of the project, or, if this is not possible, then as
early in the project as is reasonable.
Phasing is not required for this PUD Amendment. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Phasing Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)
A phasing plan IS NOT required for this PUD Amendment.
STANDARD: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)] - The PUD
shall comply with the following common recreation and open space standards.
(a) Minimum Area. It is recommended that a minimum of25% of the total PUD area shall be
devoted to open air recreation or other usable open space, public or quasi-public. In addition, the PUD
shall provide a minimum of ten (10) acres of common recreation and usable open space lands for every
one thousand (1,000) persons who are residents of the PUD. In order to calculate the number of
residents of the PUD, the number of proposed dwelling units shall be multiplied by two and sixty-three
hundredths (2.63), which is the average number of persons that occupy each dwelling unit in Eagle
County, as determined in the Eagle County Master Plan.
i. Areas that Do Not Count as Open Space. Parking and loading areas, street right-of-ways,
and areas with slopes greater than thirty (30) percent shall not count toward usable open space.
26
09-18-2000

established prior to the sale of any lots or units within the PUD. Membership in the association or
nonprofit corporation shall be mandatory for all landowners within the PUD.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that adequate open space
was being provided. The proposed PUD Amendment will neither adversely impact existing common
recreation and open space nor warrant additional common recreation and open space. Staff makes a
favorable finding.
FINDING: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)]
It has previously been found that the development DOES comply with the common recreation
and open space standards applicable at the time of approval of the Preliminary Plan for the PUD. The
proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect common recreation and open space within the
PUD with respect to:
(a) Minimum area;

into an otherwise un-served area.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the development would
have available a "full range of public services", and promote maximum "economy of development".
The proposed PUD Amendment will not alter the spatial pattern in any way that causes inefficiencies in
the delivery of public services, or require duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result
in a "leapfrog" pattern of development. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (3)]
It HAS previously been found that the Preliminary Plan for the PUD satisfied the requirements of
the Land Use Regulations in effect at the time with respect to efficient spatial patterns. The proposed
PUD Amendment DOES NOT adversely affect the spatial patterns in the area.
STANDARD: Suitability for Development. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (4)] - The property proposed to
be subdivided shall be 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.

When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the area was
"compatible with the characteristics" of the proposed use. The proposed PUD Amendment does not
alter the suitability of the property. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Suitability for Development. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (4)]
It HAS previously been found that the site was suitable for development. The proposed PUD
Amendment DOES NOT alter the suitability of the property.
STANDARD: Compatible With Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (5)] - The proposed
subdivision shall be compatible with the character of existing land uses in the area and shall not
adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the development was
compatible with other development in the area. The proposed PUD Amendment would permit
somewhat larger residential structures on Lots 1 through 4. However, given the size of the lots and
location of the building envelopes, the proposed increase in the permitted floor area will not adversely
affect the compatibility of the PUD with surrounding land uses. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Compatible With Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (5)]
It HAS previously been found that the development was compatible with other development in
the area. The proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely effect the compatibility of the
resulting development with surrounding uses.
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-240.F.2.a.(8) Initiation: Applicant
shall submit the following: "Proposed PUD guide setting forth the proposed land use restrictions."
A draft amended Planned Unit Development Guide is provided. The only proposed change
occurs on Table 3 at the top of page 2, in which the "Residence sq. ft." for Lots 1 through 4 has been
changed from 4,000 to 5,000. Staff makes a favorable finding.
FINDING: Initiation [Section 5-240.F.2.a.(8)]
Applicant HAS submitted a pun Guide that demonstrates that the requirements of this Section
are fully met.
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-240.F. 3.m Amendment to
Preliminary Plan for PUD:
STANDARD: Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD [Section 5-240.F.3.m.] -No
substantial modification, removal, or release of the provisions of the plan shall be permitted except upon
ajinding by the County. . . that (1) the modification, removal, or release is consistent with the efficient
development and preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development, (2) does not affect in a
substantially adverse manner either the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across a street from the
planned unit development or the public interest, and (3) is not granted solely to confer a special benefit
upon any person.
The increase in the floor area for these lots is not expected to create a discernible difference in
the nature of the development. Consequently, the proposed amendment is consistent with the existing
PUD, will not affect nearby property owners, and would not be granted solely to confer a special benefit
on anyone individual or property owner. Staff makes a favorable finding.
The proposed pun Amendment (1) IS consistent with the efficient development and
preservation ofthe entire Planned Unit Development, (2) DOES NOT affect in a substantially adverse
manner either the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across a street from the planned unit development
or the public interest, and (3) IS NOT granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person.
Mr. Forinash stated the Planning Commission recommended approval with one condition. He
read that condition "expanded amount of space can only be the space above the garages and no
additional rights shall be associated with that space and no change in building footprint or building
height shall be allowed. The only outstanding issue is the increase in the maximum floor area without
restrictions. He stated Mr. Holmes is present to address the Board.

09-18-2000
Chairman Stone asked if Mr. Holmes is representing the applicant.
Carter Holmes stated he is the president of the Red Rock Ranch Homeowners Association.
Chairman Stone asked Mr. Holmes if Mr. Forinash depicted the only issues still outstanding.
Mr. Holmes stated these are existing structures that are either completed or nearing completion at
Thanksgiving. He stated there are currently spaces that are attics that they want to convert. He stated
the exterior structures are there and there will be no changes whatsoever. They will change the
windows. He stated they have no objections.
Mr. Forinash stated there is a difference between what was requested over what the Planning
Commission recommended.
Mr. Holmes stated they are in agreement with that condition.
Commissioner Gallagher asked if they have to raise the roof.
Mr. Holmes stated all the roof lines are the same. He showed a picture that showed the height of
the roofs. He stated the access to that level will be within the garage itself.
Chairman Stone asked for public comment. There was none.
Commissioner Phillips moved to approve File No. PDA-00029, Red Rock Ranch, incorporating
staff findings and with the condition that the expanded amount of space can only be the space above the
garage, and no additional rights be associated with that space, and no change in building footprint or
building height.
Commissioner Gallagher seconded the motion.
In discussion, Chairman Stone asked about the condition becoming part of the PUD guide.
Mr. Loeffler stated they will have to change the PUD guide to incorporate that one condition.
Chairman Stone called for the question on the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
1041-0030, SSA-0008, Adams Rib-Frost Creek
Chairman Stone stated this is filel041-0030, Frost Creek 1041 Permit application.
Jim Fritze, County Attorney, stated this is the advertised beginning of the hearing with regard to
application 1041-0030. The application of Kummer Development Corporation, doing business as
Adams Rib for 1041 permits on Frost Creek. Last week the Board received communications from Carter
and Sands, on behalf of the Town of Eagle and have since had conversations with Mr. Powell and Mr.
Sands, one where they were both on the phone and one subsequently with just the Town Manager. He
stated he also had communication with Boots Ferguson on behalf of the applicant, with regard to the
request of Carter and Sands on behalf of the Town. The essence of the request was for a continuance
and for party status and to have this matter treated procedurally as was the Homestake II 1041
application. After conversation with the Attorney's for the parties, it is his recommendation the Board in
order to ensure procedural due process, grant the request of the Town. He has modeled an order which
is based on the pre-hearing order of the Homestake II hearing, changing the parties. The order that is in
front of the Board would provide a deadline for witness lists and exhibits, two weeks from today. Then
at the hearing today, the Board would set the actual date of hearing after those witness lists and exhibits
have been provided. Also, an alternative is to establish a separate time for the public comment. Also the
order would set a date for Board deliberations. The order also, as drawn, deals with some procedural
things and talks about the admissibility of evidence and how exhibits should be designated basically that
the applicant will have the letter A and a number and the Town will have the letter E and a number.
Commissioner Phillips asked if everyone has seen this deadline for witness list and exhibits,
hearing date or public comment date or proposed findings for inclusion of the law and deliberations?
Randy Cloid, representing the applicant stated he has not seen the list.
Commissioner Phillips stated she is prepared to hear this file today and it was an advertised
meeting. This has been going on for a long time. She stated the Town of Eagle was at the Planning
30
09-18-2000
Board final deliberations and decision would be the 30th day of October at an unspecified time.
Mr. Sands stated they can make it work. Rick Arber is not available on the 17th or 18th but we
believe an associate of his could be present on those days if necessary.
Commissioner Gallagher moved we adopt and approve the pre-hearing order for the 1041 permit
application for Frost Creek, as amended for dates.
Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Commissioner Phillips moved to continue file SSA-0008, Adams Rib - Frost Creek, a major
extension to a existing water system and major construction of a new water and sewer treatment system,
to October 30, 2000.
Commissioner Gallagher seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Chairman Stone read the pre-hearing order for the Board as follows:

PRE-HEARING ORDER
THIS MATTER having come before the Board of County Commissioners this 18th Day of
September, 2000, for entry of an order with regard to hearing procedure and consideration of motions
filed by the parties, and the Board being fully informed in the premises, orders as follows:
1. PARTIES:
All applications for party status received by the County are granted. These parties are as follows:
a. The Applicant;
b. Town of Eagle
2. ORDER OF PROCEEDINGS:
The public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners of Eagle County,
Colorado, shall be continued to October 17, 2000 at 8:00 a.m. to about 6:00 p.m., and October 18,2000
at 8:00 a.m. to about noon at the Eagle County Room, Eagle County Building, 500 Broadway, Eagle,
Colorado. Should the taking oftestimony not be concluded by the end ofthe meeting on October 18,
2000, the Board shall continue the hearing to such day, time and place as they deem appropriate.
At the hearing, the order shall be as follows:
a. Applicant's case in chief and cross examination by the other parties.
b. Eagle County Department of Community Development and cross examination.
C. Case in chief of the parties and cross-examination. The following shall be the order of the
parties (other than the Applicant) in presentation of their cases in chief and in cross examination:
i. Town of Eagle

09-18-2000
Commission hearing last week and it is a surprise to her that the Town of Eagle has requested a full
blown procedural hearing. She stated the Town wants to be allowed to speak and present witnesses for
five hours with 10 witnesses. The Town of Eagle could have been in complete control of this project but
decisions were made that eliminated that possibility.
Commissioner Gallagher stated the proposed hearing schedule makes ultimate sense.
Ed Sands, Attorney representing the Town of Eagle, stated they wanted to point out they do have
another request pending before this Board. They are requesting the two 1 041 applications now pending
before the County be consolidated. The second 1041 application is an application to expand a water
treatment plant, a wastewater treatment plant that have not yet been approved much less built. He stated
they are prepared to present testimony from County staff and from Mr. Powell and Rick Arber, Town
Engineer, regarding that consolidation request.
Mr. Fritze stated they did receive another request later in the week. It would be his
recommendation that matter not be considered now but after it has been duly noticed. On appearance
they seem to be separate applications. This is two different development projects, one being Frost Creek
and the Ranch being the other.
Mr. Sands stated in their September 8 letter they requested that subpoenas, specifically
subpoenas DECUS tecum, be issued to several individuals.
Mr. Fritze stated if it was County staff being requested, if the date and time were provided,
County staff would be made available. Documents of public record are available as are all public
records in the County. Subpoenas are in fact unnecessary.
Mr. Sands stated they are requesting subpoenas be issued to Jim Subrillo, District Engineer for
the Water Quality Control Division. He is out of town and will be for the next week and a half and that
is the reason we could not proceed today. In addition there are also asking that certain N orwest COG
personnel be subpoenaed including Robert Ray and the others such as Planning Commission members.
Commissioner Gallagher stated somewhere in this order, Mr. Fritze stated the witness and
exhibit list are due by the 4th. Lets change that to reflect 2 weeks and make it the 2nd.
Commissioner Phillips stated she would not go against County Attorney's recommendation and
advice. However, this is way beyond any procedural process the County has ever gone through for a
1041. She stated she remembers Homestake II very well and it was definitely over and above anything
else but it was not a local subdivision process as far as a 1041.
Mr. Fritze stated they are required to provide the same degree of procedural due process no
matter where the parties reside.
Chairman Stone stated he agrees with County Attorney's suggestion to proceed with this pre-
hearing order.
Chairman Stone stated there is a typo where it reads "the matter having come between the Board
of County Commissioners this 18th day of October". That should read September.
Mr. Fritze stated if the Board agrees to the October 2nd date, or two weeks for this witness and
exhibit list, then they should allow at least a week if not two, for parties to prepare once they have
received those.
Commissioner Phillips asked if that date is okay with everyone's calendar?
Jack Ingstad, County Administrator, stated the Board can accomplish that the 17th, 18th, 19th and
20th, and all dates are open on all calendars.
Mr. Sands stated they have a major conflict on the 18th and 19th as Rick Arber, the Town's
consulting engineer will be unavailable.
Chairman Stone stated we will start the hearing dates on the 17th and 18th. The 17th will start at
8:00 a.m. and go until around 6:00 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. with a break in there for lunch. On the 18th we will
start at 8:00 a.m. in the morning once again, then have public comment on that same date, beginning at
10:00 a.m. with the conclusion at approximately 12:00 p.m. the date of the 18th. The date for proposed
findings and conclusion of law would be the 25th and that is just at the end of that business date. The

Eagle shall be marked with the letter designation "E" and a number. The letter designation and number

necessary with a question. However, where practical, they shall hold their questions until the

available for cross-examination may be stricken.
4. RULES ON ADMISSIBILITY OF TESTIMONY AND EXHIBITS:
a. All relevant and non-repetitious evidence shall be admitted. The Board will admit and
consider only such evidence as possesses a probative value commonly accepted by reasonable and
prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs.
