Joe Forinash, Planner, presented file numbers PDSP-00014, Berry Creek/Miller Ranch PUD
Sketch Plan and ZC-00052, Berry Creek/Miller Ranch Zone Change. He showed various sketches of the
parcel and the proposed designated uses. He stated the sites depicted in purple are school sites. He
showed the location of the alternative site, which is currently being planned for a campus for Colorado
Mountain College. He stated there is a 31.5 acres tract for housing, which has 285 units proposed. He
pointed out the recreation tract for ball fields, community centers and an open space tract to the east. He
summarized the proposal as being mixed use on 222.7 acres, active recreation on 35.8 acres. School
facilities on 77.9 acres, open space located throughout the site, local resident housing is proposed on
31.5 acres, CMC campus on 16 acres. There will be three points of access to the site, one from the
Edwards Spur Road, Winslow Road in Singletree and from Highway 6 across Cemetery Bridge, which
will be reconstructed. A 1041 permit has been approved. Potable water will come from Upper Eagle
Regional Water Authority. Waste water will be from the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District.
There is additional sites reviewed for each one of the sites and a Design Review Committee will provide
continuity throughout the development.
Staff findings are as shown on staff report and as follows:
He stated the Planning Commission recommended denial of the zone change and combined PUD
Sketch Preliminary Plan based on the following issues:
Separation of Sketch and Preliminary Plans.
PUD Guide now, including illumination and noise concerns, and including a change in the
composition of the design review board.
Spur Road concerns need to be addressed concurrently.
County needs to be responsible for park and ride, library, inter-project buses, and a County
presence of some kind in the project.
Maintaining the equestrian center.
Including recreation in the first phase of improvements.
Road should have wider shoulders than proposed.
LEED certification for the whole project.
Open space should be provided by a permanent restriction or dedication, with a public hearing on
the use; and deeded over to a body for management.
Need for passive recreation areas, i.e., parks for fairs, kites, picnics, and kids.
The Applicants have responded to the issues note by the Planning Commission in the form of a
25
02-05-2002
letter from Tom Braun, Braun Associates, Inc., a copy of which is attached. As noted, a number of the
responses are also in the form of revisions to the PUD Guide, a copy of which is also attached.
In response to concerns about assuring that significant road improvements are completed along
with the initial phase of the development, the Applicants have proposed a condition of approval, as
follows:
The Traffic Impact Analysis completedfor the Berry Creek/Miller Ranch PUD assumes the
completion of a variety of on and off-site improvements. In order to ensure concurrency with traffic
generated by the development of the PUD and related road improvements, the following
road/circulation improvements shall be included with the initial construction of the project:
Full access improvements as mandated by the State Highway Access Code (2CCR60l-l), at both
the Edwards Spur Road/Miller Ranch Road intersection and the intersection of the relocated Cemetery
Bridge Road and State Highway 6.
Intersection improvements at Miller Ranch Road/Winslow Road and Miller Ranch Road/Charter
School Road,
Recreation trail and sidewalk improvements,
Modifications to existing Edwards Spur Road access points to the Edwards Station project.
Improvements outlined above shall be in place concurrent with the completion of the
development of Tract A (the initial development of the CMC facility) and of Tract D (the housing tract).
This condition been incorporated as a condition of approval of the combined PUD
Sketch/Preliminary Plan.
Mixed use development on a 222.7 acre site which would include active recreation on 35.8 acres
(including athletic fields, play areas, and an ice arena and/or recreation center); open space on 50.2 acres
(including trails, bridges necessary for trails, picnic facilities, restrooms, drainage and irrigation
improvements and facilities, and trailhead parking); local resident housing on 31.5 acres not to exceed
10 dwelling units per acre; school facilities on 77.9 acres (in addition to the existing Berry Creek Middle
School and Charter School) may include a new elementary school and a new high school; and an
alternative use site owned jointly by the Applicants on 16.0 acres which may be leased to Colorado
Mountain College for a regional college campus and related community facilities. The balance of the site
(11.3 acres) will be right-of-way.
Primary access to the site would be by Miller Ranch Road, proposed to be constructed from the
Edwards Spur Road through the site to connect with Winslow Road, which provides alternate access to
the site from the Singletree development to the north. Another access from this parcel directly to
Highway 6 to the south has previously been identified in the Edwards Area Access Plan to reduce traffic
on the Edwards Spur Road, although specific alignment has not been determined. Water and wastewater
utility service will be provided by the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District. A 1041 permit
application has been submitted and approved by the Eagle County Permit Authority.
1999 - The Eagle County Recreation Authority and the Eagle County School District (RE-50J)
entered into a Intergovernmental Agreement to develop the site on a joint basis.
2000 - A PUD Sketch Plan, which was similar in many respects to this combined
Sketch/Preliminary Plan, was approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
Referral responses are as shown on staff report and as follows:
Eagle County Engineering Department
Preliminary Plat
Various technical comments regarding the preliminary plat.
Road Design Standards
The applicant has been able to meet all design standards of the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations with the exception of one standard (known as "K factor") which relates generally to sight
distance on Miller Ranch Road at the Edwards Spur Road intersection. The Land Use Regulations
26
02-05-2002
permit deviations from these standards if certain findings are made. The County Engineer recommends
that
that the deviation be approved.
Other Improvement Standards
Various comments (copy attached)
Eagle County Environmental Health
Future air quality is a concern for the Edwards area and is of particular importance with respect
to this development. To maintain air quality in the Edwards area and improve the quality of life for
residents of this development, it is recommended that wood burning devices be prohibited for this PUD.
It is recommended that approval of the preliminary plan or final plat be conditioned to require a
storm water detention plan designed with the NWCCOG's water quality protection standards for treating
pre-construction and post-construction storm water runoff to reduce sediment transportation. The
NWCCOG recommends storm water detention for the 2-year and 25-year storm events.
The geology of the site enables rapid communication of organic and chemical pollutants to
groundwater. To protect the Eagle River's cold water fishery, an integrated management plan to reduce
the amounts of pesticides, snow melt chemicals and fertilizers needed to maintain the future
neighborhood should be incorporated into the PUD control document.
It is recommended that the landscape design associated with this development require a drought
resistant palate and a limited amount of lawn areas to reduce the amount of water required to maintain
the landscaping and reduce the quantities of fertilizers an pesticides that may be transported to the Eagle
flver.
Eagle County Health and Human Services
Provided a summary of child care licensing requirements (attached).
ECO Transit (Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority)
Serving this development is both an obligation and an opportunity for ECO Transit.
The site can be served by buses from both the Spur Road and Highway 6. For passenger safety
and efficient route scheduling, certain minimum design standards must be used.
ECO Transit supports a park and ride at the development, provided that passenger waiting areas,
lighting, and shelters are included in such plans.
ECO Trails (Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority)
The development team is to be applauded for designing a comprehensive transportation and
recreational trail system that will serve all areas of the site.
Request to advise ECO Trails if the regional trail as it is currently constructed along the southern
border of the property will NOT remain intact or WILL be disturbed or otherwise altered by
construction.
Trail easements exist presently only on School District property, but were deemed not necessary
on County-owned property. As PUD is finalized, ownership of various tracts will change. Recommends
that the regional trail be included in a separate Tract so as to not confuse platting, land trade and
management issues. Eagle County would own the property and the trail.
Impacts to the trail platform caused by changing drainage patterns due to development should be
evaluated and mitigation defined for any potential affects (prevention of ponding on north side of trail,
increasing culvert size, etc.).
Important safety topic: Eight pedestrian/bicycle crossings of Miller Ranch Road are shown. How
will they function - crosswalks, lighting, traffic calming features? Details should be provided and
alternatives considered.
On north side of Miller Ranch Road, especially through Tracts Band F, if not a four to six foot
sidewalk, at least road shoulders should be provided to allow safe bicycle and road travel.
Trails through the open space areas are appropriately unpaved trails. Great Outdoors Colorado
and the Colorado State Trails Program have useful and considerate guidelines for designing trails with
27
02-05-2002
wildlife in mind.
Concern about use of regional trail for snow storage. The trail is a through route and should not
be blocked or encroached upon by snow storage in any location.
Motorized vehicles are prohibited except for County maintenance. Contractors should not be
allowed to use the trail as a secondary access during construction as it is unnecessary, damages the
investment and is unsafe for users, particularly bicyclists.
Peak Engineering has indicated that it will incorporate the necessary trail signs into the final
construction documents.
Care should be taken to design an irrigation system for the playing fields that does not water the
regional trail.
Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority
The Berry Creek Miller Ranch development is expected to require annual diversions of 112 acre
feet from Edwards Metro District and 44 acre feet from the Berry Creek Metro District. Accordingly, the
Water Authority will have adequate treatment and storage capacity and Edwards and Berry Creek have
adequate water rights to serve customers in the Berry Creek Miller Ranch development, in addition to
current customers and customers in other areas for which service has been committed.
Water service to Berry Creek Miller Ranch will be contingent upon [1] conveyance to the Water
Authority of water necessary to serve the development, [2] dedication of water rights or payment of cash
in lieu of water rights dedication, and [3] payment of applicable Water Tap Fees, Plant Investment Fees,
and fees in lieu of Treated Water Storage.
Eagle River Water & Sanitation District
ER W &SD will provide domestic sewer service to this development.
The Edwards Wastewater Treatment Plant is operating at 60% of current design capacity.
Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
NWCCOG is pleased with respect to consideration of potential water quality impacts during
construction of the project, with the intent to connect to existing public water and wastewater systems,
avoidance of identified wetland and riparian areas, erosion and sediment control, and water quality
detention basins designed to detain the 25-year peak flow from the developed condition to the existing
condition.
NWCCOG is concerned regarding the small amount of attention devoted to reducing pollutant
loads from the developed project, specifically water pollution from storm events smaller than the 25-year
storms.
NWCCOG recommends the use ofNWCCOG's post-construction storm water detention criteria
to ensure that the storm water pollutants from the proposed development are minimized.
NWCCOG suggests that more attention be placed on developed condition pollutant load
reduction from the proposed project.
NWCCOG further recommends that the constructed detention facilities be easily maintained, and
that an appropriate agency be identified that will be responsible for ensuring that detention basins are
functioning as designed throughout the life of the project.
NWCCOG suggests that silt fencing, straw bales, and stone check dams are techniques used to
trap sediment once it has been entrained in the movement of water. Mulching, seeding (vegetative
cover), and other soil stabilization techniques focus on preventing the soil from being entrained and
moved by water. In other words, NWCCOG strongly encourages more emphasis on using preventive
approaches (pollution prevention) and less emphasis on pollutant removal approaches in controlling
erOSiOn.
Colorado Division of Wildlife
The proposed development will not significantly impact those species mapped in the Eagle
County Master Plan. However, black bears is a species that has not been addressed.aCDOW has made a number of recommendations to reduce human-bear conflicts.
28
02-05-2002
The PUD should include detailed dog restrictions to prevent negative impacts to wildlife using
the riparian corridor and prevent loose dogs from being on the school grounds and recreation fields.
Colorado State Forest Service
The wildfire hazard rating for the property is moderate. However, based on the location ofthe
property and the natural fuels in the area, there is little threat to the property from wildfire.
The concerns for the project are to insure adequate access for emergency vehicles and provide for
defensible space around all structures.
Colorado Geological Survey
Agrees with the assessment performed by Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc., of the geological
hazards present at this property. Additional design-level geotechnical investigations, with subsurface
explorations at the location of planned structures, will be needed once site development plans are better
defined to address certain hazards and conditions.
During grading and prior to construction, any voids, sinkholes or related adverse conditions
encountered will necessitate reevaluation of the site's suitability, relocation of the planned facility, or
mitigation if a qualified engineer determines that it is possible to minimize the risk of structural damage
due to settlement.
A collapse feature is present in the western part of the project area, whose location corresponds
with the site of planned high school and college buildings. Irrigation of the planned ball fields
immediately east of the known subsidence feature may activate additional subsidence, and may result in
the formation of new sinkholes. Careful monitoring of all facilities' performance will be needed to
reduce the risks of unsafe conditions and structural damage due to settlement.
Foundation damage due to hydrocompaction and differential settlement can occur if water
infiltrates the soils adjacent to and beneath foundations as a result of, for example, landscape irrigation
and increased runoff from paved areas. It is imperative that proper grading, compaction and drainage are
incorporated into all site development plans.
Test borings have been drilled to very shallow depths of generally less than 10 feet. However,
groundwater levels should be expected to rise to shallow depths seasonally, during storm events, and
with increased runoff and irrigation. Foundation perimeter drains should be constructed beneath all
buildings to help prevent infiltration and to control wetting of potentially collapsible soils in the
immediate vicinity of the substructure. The drain systems must be sloped to discharge to a gravity outlet
or sump pump location.
Water and sewer lines will need to be kept in especially good repair at this site, because an
unfixed leak could create or enlarge existing solution cavities within the evaporite, causing new
sinkholes to form, and could trigger subsidence due to hydrocompaction within the overlying alluvium.
All soil and pavement surfaces must slope away from school buildings to prevent water ponding and ice
hazards.
Colorado Division of Water Resources
Water use estimates were provided, but the basis for the estimates is unclear and cannot be
verified.
Statute requires that a municipality or quasi-municipality file a report with the county and the
state engineer documenting the amount of water which can be supplied to the proposed development
without causing injury to existing water rights. A report of this nature was not submitted.
Use of irrigation water rights in the raw water irrigation system is acceptable so long as no
change of type of use, place of use or expansion of irrigation is to occur.
USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service
The "Howard Irrigation Ditch" should be located on submitted maps.
The Howard Ditch needs to remain intact. What alternative makes the most sense?
Holy Cross Energy
Holy Cross Energy has existing power facilities located on or near the site which have adequate
29
02-05-2002
capacity to provide electric power to the development.
Any power line enlargements, relocations, and new extensions necessary to deliver adequate
power to and within the development will be undertaken by Holy Cross upon completion of appropriate
contractual agreements.

applicationfor 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 snow
melt between buildings.
Proposed dimensional limitations do differ from those that are specified for the Resource zone
district. In the Recreation Tract and the Alternative Use Tract, dimensions which differ include [1]
minimum lot area, [2] minimum setbacks, [3] maximum lot coverage, and [4] maximum building height.
In the School Tracts, all dimensional limitations have been eliminated to reflect the latitude provided in
Statute for the development of school sites. In the Housing Tract, the minimum lot area, the maximum
building height, and the required yard setbacks differ from those in effect in the Resource zone district.
As noted above, Section 5-240.F.3.f., Variations Authorized, of the Land Use Regulations,
provides that variations may be granted by the Board of County Commissioners if it finds that the
Preliminary Plan achieves one or more of several specified purposes and that the granting of the
variation is necessary for that purpose to be achieved. Those purposes include [1] obtaining desired
design qualities, [2] avoiding environmental resources and natural hazards, [3] providing incentives for
water augmentation, [4] providing incentives for improvements to the Eagle County trails system, [5]
providing incentives to assure long term affordable housing, or [6] providing incentives to develop
public facilities.
It appears that the variations requested in the application are necessary to obtain desired design
qualities if greater variety in the type, design and layout of buildings is achieved (#1 above), to provide
incentives to assure long term affordable housing (#5 above), and to provide incentives to develop public
facilities (#6 above).
[+] FINDING: Dimensional Limitations. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (3)]
The dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD ARE NOT those specified in Table 3-
340, "Schedule of Dimensional Limitations", for the zone district designation in effect for the property at
the time ofthe application for PUD. However, variations of these use designations MAY BE authorized
pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3.f., Variations Authorized.
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.

Site specific development proposals are not included as part of this combined sketch/preliminary
plan but will be provided at a subsequent site-specific development review. Parking on non-school sites
will be required to conform to the provisions of Division 4-1, Off Street Parking and Loading Standards,
ofthe Land Use Regulations. However, Board of County Commissioners may permit a combined off-
street/on-street parking mix by approving a PUD Comprehensive Parking Plan pursuant to Section 4-
140.M., Parking Within a Planned Unit Development (PUD). To permit any necessary review of the
parking requirements, the PUD Guide has been revised to include provisions for subsequent review of
any detailed development proposal for the housing tract to be reviewed and approved by the Board of
County Commissioners.
It is proposed that the residential development in the housing tract include a day care center.
Eagle County Health and Human Services has provided a summary of child care center licensing
requirements, including parking and loading requirements, in addition to minimum indoor and outdoor
areas and required amenities. It is also understood that there are certain minimum sizes of day care
operations that are economically viable. A more detailed site-specific development plan for the housing
tract will be submitted and reviewed as required by the PUD Guide, subsequent to the approval of this
SketchiPreliminary Plan for the PUD.
[+] FINDING: Off-Street Parking and Loading. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (4)]
It has NOT been demonstrated that off-street parking and loading provided in the PUD complies
with the standards of Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards, without a
necessity for a reduction in the standards. However, with the recommended conditions, these standards
MAY be met in subsequent reviews of site-specific development plans for the housing tract.
STANDARD: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)] - Landscapingprovided 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 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.
A conceptual landscape plan has been provided. However, a detailed landscape plan, as specified
and required in Section 4-220.C., Detailed Landscape Plan, of the Land Use Regulations will be
provided at a subsequent site-specific development review. Information on the landscape plan drawings
differ from the text of the application with respect to when streetscape landscaping is to be installed. The
text seems to indicate that streetscape landscaping will be installed during the first phase of the
development (including the construction of Miller Ranch Road). The drawings seem to indicate that
final landscape design and installation will occur as each individual tract is developed.
To provide streetscape landscaping along Miller Ranch Road which is consistent with an overall
concept for the development, and to ensure that this major roadway through the site is completed in a
timely manner, streetscape landscaping along Miller Ranch Road is best installed as a part of Phase I of
the development which includes the construction of Miller Ranch Road. As a condition of approval, a
detailed landscape plan as specified in Section 4-220.C., Detailed Landscape Plan, of the Land Use
Regulations, should be required which shows landscaping features along Miller Ranch Road, in common
areas and at anticipated intersections prior to approval of the initial final plat for this development.
[+] FINDING: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)]
It HAS NOT been demonstrated that the landscaping proposed for the PUD complies with the
standards of Article 4, Division 2, Landscaping and Illumination Standards. However, with the
recommended condition of approval, these requirements MAY be satisfied prior to approval of the
initial final plat for the development.

necessary to direct users to and within the PUD.
A plan for traffic and related signs has been provided. While the Applicant and all developers
will be required to comply with Article 4, Division 3, Sign Regulations, it may be noted that there are
certain exemptions to the Sign Regulations which may be applicable, including information signs on
public property and scoreboards of less than a specified size. (See Section 4-31 O.B., Exempt Signs.)
[+] FINDING: Signs. [Section 5-240.F.3.e(6)]
The signs within the PUD will be 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 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 andfire protection, and emergency
medical services.
[+] Potable water suplJlv. - The Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority has indicated that it will
have adequate treatment and storage capacity, and that the Edwards Metropolitan District and the Berry
Creek Metropolitan District have adequate water rights to serve customers in this development. Water
service is contingent upon conveyance of certain water mains; dedication of certain water rights or
payment of cash in lieu of water rights dedication; and payment of applicable water tap fees, plant
investment fees and fees in lieu of treated storage water. The Applicants have indicated that they will
dedicate sufficient water rights to replace 120% of their irrigation season indoor use depletions, as
required by the Metropolitan Districts. It appears that the construction drawings for the potable water
supply are satisfactory to the County Engineer. A separate 1041 permit application permit has been
submitted by the Applicant and approved by the Eagle County Permit Authority.
[+] Sewage disDosal. - Sewage disposal service is proposed to be provided by the Eagle River
Water & Sanitation District. The District has indicated that it is willing and has the available treatment
capacity to handle this development. It appears that the construction drawings for the sewage disposal
system are satisfactory to the County Engineer. A separate 1 041 permit application has been submitted
by the Applicant and approved by the Eagle County Permit Authority.
[+] Solid waste disposal. - It appears that adequate solid waste disposal services are available in
the area.
[+] Electrical sUDDlv. - Holy Cross Energy has indicated that it has existing power facilities on or
near the site, and that these facilities have adequate capacity to provide electric power to the
development.
[+] Fire Drotection. - The site is located within and will be served by the Eagle River Fire
District.
[+] Roads. - The principal road within the PUD will be Miller Ranch Road which will extend
from the Edwards I -70 Spur Road east through the development. Another road providing access directly
to Highway 6 from the east end of the development is proposed, but its alignment has not been
determined. With the exception of several deficiencies noted by the County Engineer, it appears that, for
the most part, the construction drawings for the roads to be built as part of this proposal are satisfactory
to the County Engineer. As a condition of approval, all engineering studies, plans and construction
drawings should be completed to the satisfaction of the County Engineer prior to approval of the initial
final plat for this development.
[+] Proximitv to Schools - Public elementary and middle schools currently exist in the Edwards
area. A high school currently exists in Eagle-Vail. In addition, a possible use on this site is another high
school. Schools are in reasonable proximity of the site.
[+] Proximity to Police and Fire Protection, and EmerfJencv Medical Services. - Law

Emergency medical services will be provided by Eagle County Ambulance District, which has a facility
in the Edwards area. Fire protection services will be provided by the Eagle River Fire District. All
emergency services are within reasonable proximity to the site.
[+] FINDING: Adequate Facilities. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (7)]
It HAS been demonstrated that the development proposed in the PUD Sketch/Preliminary Plan
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.
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
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 grantedfor 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 andfrom off-street parking areas.
The applicant has been able to meet all design standards of the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations with the exception of one standard (known as "K factor") which relates generally to sight
distance on Miller Ranch Road at the Edwards Spur Road intersection. The K factor is determined based
on open road conditions. Peak Land Consultants, Inc., the design engineer, has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the County Engineer that, with the proposed signalization at the intersection, the
necessary K factor may be determined differently.
As noted immediately above, the Land Use Regulations permit deviations from these standards
in instances such as this if certain minimum design principles are followed regarding the following:
Safe, efficient access
Internal pathways
Emergency vehicles
Principal access points
34
02-05-2002
Snow storage
The County Engineer has determined that the alternative design meets other applicable
regulations, of primary importance being AASHTO, and recommends that the deviation be approved.
[+] FINDING: Improvements. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (8)]
It HAS been demonstrated that the improvements standards applicable to the development will
be as specified in Article 4, Division 6, Improvements Standards, with the exception of the "K factor"
standard on Miller Ranch Road at the Edwards Spur Road. However, a deviation from this standard
MAY be granted because minimum design principles have been followed regarding (a) safe, efficient
access, (b) internal pathways,
( c) emergency vehicles, (d) principal access points, and (e) snow storage.
STANDARD: Compatibility With Surrounding Land Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (9)] - The
development proposedfor the PUD shall be compatible with the character of surrounding land uses.
The surrounding land uses consist of commercial and residential. All but the commercial
(Edwards Center) are separated from the site by 1-70 (to the north), the Edwards 1-70 Spur Road, (to the
west), or railroad tracks and/or the Eagle River (to the west and south). The recreational, residential, and
school uses are compatible with the surrounding land uses.
[+] 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.
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 consideration of the relevant master plans during sketch plan review is on a broad conceptual
level, i.e, how a proposal compares to basic planning principles. As a development proposal moves
from sketch plan to preliminary plan review, its conformance or lack thereof to aspects of the master
plans may not necessarily remain static. THE MASTER PLAN ANALYSES BELOW CONSIDER

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

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. . .
Steps should be taken to facilitate increased home ownership
by local residents and workers in Eagle County
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

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. . .
8. The County will seek to make land available for local
residents housing in proximity to community centers
9.
Mixed use developments in appropriate locations are
encouraged
10.
Factory-built housing is an important part of Eagle County's
housing stock
There is a need to segment a portion of the housing market to
protect local 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

[+] FINDING: Phasing Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)
A phasing plan HAS been provided for this development.
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-o.fways,
and areas with slopes greater than thirty (30) percent shall not count toward usable open space.
ii. 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.
iii. Improvements Required. All common open space and recreational facilities shall be shown
on the Preliminary Planfor PUD and shall be constructed andfully improved according to the
development schedule establishedfor each development phase of the PUD.
iv. Continuing Use and Maintenance. All privately owned common open space shall continue
to conform to its intended use, as specified on the Preliminary Planfor 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.
vi. 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 P UD 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 P UD.
Of the total 222.7 acres on the site, 86 acres (approximately) are proposed as parks and open
space, and appear to meet the requirement and definition of common recreation and open space
contemplated in this Standard. The amount of required common recreation and open space is 64.7 acres
38
02-05-2002
[25 percent of the total site (55.7 acres), plus 9.0 acres (10 acres for every 1000 anticipated residents)].
The PUD satisfies the standard for the minimum amount of common recreation and open space.
Ownership of the open space tracts will rest with Eagle County, which will be responsible for
improvements, continuing use and maintenance.
[+] FINDING: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)]
The applicant HAS demonstrated that the PUD will comply with the common recreation and

consider the recommendations made by the applicable analysis documents, as well as the
recommendations of referral agencies as specified in Article 4, Division 4, Natural Resource Protection
Standards.
It appears that the PUD demonstrates that the recommendations made by the applicable analysis
documents available at the time the application was submitted have been considered. Subsequent referral
responses addressing natural resource protection have been received from Eagle County Environmental
Health Department, Northwest Colorado Council of Governments, and the Colorado Geological Survey.
Potentially adverse impacts noted by these agencies are discussed elsewhere in this Report, and changes
have been incorporated in the PUD to avoid or mitigate impacts.

considered.
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-280.B.3.e. Standards for the
review of a Sketch and Preliminary Plan for a Subdivision:
STANDARD: Consistent with Master Plan. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (1)] - The proposed
subdivision shall be consistent with the Eagle County Master Plan and the FLUM of the Master Plan.
See discussion above, "Consistency with Master Plan. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (10)]
[+] FINDING: Consistent with Master Plan. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (1)]
The PUD IS consistent with the Master Plan, and it IS consistent with the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM).
STANDARD: Consistent with Land Use Regulations. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (2)] - The
proposed subdivision shall comply with all of the standards of this Section and all other provisions of
these Land Use Regulations, including, but not limited to, the applicable standards 0.[ Article 3, Zone
Districts. and Article 4, Site Develonment Standards.
Article 3, Zone Districts
All applicable provisions of Article will be satisfied.
Article 4, Site Development Standards
Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards (Division 4-1)
While the PUD addresses parking standards and requirements, the application does not provide
detailed parking plans for the individual tracts. A determination of whether the standards of Article 4,
Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards. have been satisfied will be made in subsequent
reviews on a tract by tract basis. To permit any necessary exceptions to the parking requirements, the
PUD Guide has been revised to include provisions for review of any site-specific development plan for
the housing tract to be reviewed and approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
39
02-05-2002
Landscaping and Illumination Standards (Division 4-2)
A conceptual landscape plan has been provided. However, a detailed landscape plan, as specified
and required in Section 4-220.C., Detailed Landscape Plan, of the Land Use Regulations will be
provided at a subsequent site-specific development review. Information on the landscape plan drawings
differ from the text of the application with respect to when streetscape landscaping is to be installed. The
text seems to indicate that streetscape landscaping will be installed during the first phase of the
development (including the construction of Miller Ranch Road). The drawings seem to indicate that
final landscape design and installation will occur as each individual tract is developed. However, since
the School District and Colorado Mountain College have a great deal of latitude under state statute
regarding how they may develop their sites, there is no mechanism proposed in the PUD
Sketch/Preliminary Plan to ensure that streetscape landscaping along Miller Ranch Road will conform in
any way to the conceptual plan included as part of this application.
To provide streetscape landscaping along Miller Ranch Road which is consistent with an overall
concept for the development, and to ensure that landscaping along this major roadway through the site is
completed in a timely manner, streetscape landscaping along Miller Ranch Road is best installed as a
part of Phase I of the development which includes the construction of Miller Ranch Road. As a
condition of approval, a detailed landscape plan as specified in Section 4-220.C., Detailed Landscape
Plan, of the Land Use Regulations, should be required which shows landscaping features along Miller
Ranch Road, in common areas and at anticipated intersections prior to approval of the initial final plat
for this development.
Sign Regulations (Division 4-3)
A plan for traffic and related signs has been provided. While the Applicant and all developers
will be required to comply with Article 4, Division 3, Sign Regulations, it may be noted that there are
certain exemptions to the Sign Regulations which may be applicable, including information signs on
public property and scoreboards of less than a specified size. (See Section 4-31 O.B., Exempt Signs.)
Natural Resource Protection Standards (Division 4-4)
Wildlife Protection (Section 4-410) - The Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) has noted that
the proposed development will not significantly impact those species mapped in the Eagle County
Master Plan. However, human-bear conflicts and unrestrained dogs are an increasing concern. The PUD
Guide has been revised to incorporate appropriate recommendations in the letter from the Colorado
Division of Wildlife dated 11 October 2000.
Geologic Hazards (Section 4-420) - Based on information available with this Sketch/Preliminary
Plan application, there are no particular geologic hazards present on this site. A study prepared by
Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc., concludes that no geologic conditions were found that would
make the proposed land uses technically infeasible, but that there were several conditions of a geologic
nature that should be considered in project planning and design, including those related to storm water
management, sinkholes, regional evaporite deformation, moisture sensitive soil, and moderate
earthquake considerations.
Colorado Geological Survey has provided its review of the site with respect to the proposed
development, and has provided a number of recommendations and suggestions. As a condition of
approval, adequate consideration should be given to the recommendations and suggestions of the
Colorado Geological Survey in its letter dated 21 November 2001 regarding [a] relocation of proposed
structures or mitigation of encountered hazards, [b] monitoring of impacts of irrigation of ball fields, [c]
incorporation of proper grading, compaction and drainage in all site development plans, [d] requirement
of foundation appropriate perimeter drains, and [f1 sloping of soil and pavement away from structures.
In addition, the Environmental Health Department (EHD) has recommended that an integrated
management plan be implemented to reduce amounts of pesticides, snow melt chemicals and fertilizers
needed to maintain the landscaped portions of the development, and suggested measures to reduce the
amount of water required to maintain landscaping. In response to the CGS and EHD comments, an
40
02-05-2002
integrated management plan will be developed prior to approval of the initial final plat for this
development which ensures that the amount of irrigation throughout the site, as well as use and runoff of
pesticides, snow melt chemicals and fertilizers, is minimized to avoid or mitigate adverse geologic and
other environmental impacts.
Wildfire Protection (Section 4-430) - The Colorado State Forest Service has indicated that there
is little threat to this property from wildfire. It appears that the construction drawings for the road
system reflect adequate access for emergency vehicles and are satisfactory to the County Engineer. The
proposed PUD Sketch/ Preliminary Plan has been reviewed by the Eagle River Fire District.
Wood Burning Controls (Section 4-440) - The PUD Guide has been revised to prohibit the use of
wood burning devices within the planned unit development.
Ridgeline Protection (Section 4-450) - The site is not in an area designated on the Ridgeline
Protection Map.
Environmental Impact Reoort (Section 4-460) - Given the nature of the site, a satisfactory
Environmental Impact Report has been provided with this combined Sketch/Preliminary Plan.
Commercial and Industrial Performance Standards (Division 4-5)
There are no significant commercial or industrial operation on the proposed site which would
subject this application to the provisions ofthis Division.
Improvement Standards (Division 4-6)
Roadwav Standards (Section 4-620) - The principal road within the PUD will be Miller Ranch
Road which will extend from the Edwards I -70 Spur Road east through the development. Another road
providing access directly to Highway 6 from the east end of the development is proposed, but its
alignment has not been determined. With the exception of several deficiencies which have been noted, it
appears that, for the most part, the construction drawings for the roads to be built as part of this proposal
are satisfactory to the County Engineer. As a condition of approval, all engineering studies, plans and
construction drawings should be completed to the satisfaction of the County Engineer prior to approval
of the initial final plat for this development.
Sidewalk and Trail Standards (Section 4-630) - It appears that the standards ofthis section are
satisfied by the proposed Sketch/Preliminary Plan. ECO Trails has noted a number of concerns that
warrant attention including, among other things, preservation of the regional trail and assuring its'
uninhibited use, safety of pedestrians and bicyclists at crossings of Miller Ranch Road, and adequacy of
internal trails. Appropriate recommendations from ECO Trails are reflected in the PUD
Sketch/Preliminary Plan.
Irrigation Svstem Standards (Section 4-640) - Irrigation of portions of the site using raw water is
proposed. As noted above, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc., and the Colorado Geological Survey
(CGS) have noted the presence of certain collapse features and deformation. CGS has expressed concern
that irrigation of the recreation areas may activate additional subsidence and may result in the formation
of new sinkholes. In addition, the Environmental Health Department (EHD) has recommended that an
integrated management plan be implemented to reduce amounts of pesticides, snow melt chemicals and
fertilizers needed to maintain the landscaped portions of the development, and suggested measures to
reduce the amount of water required to maintain landscaping. In response to the CGS and EHD
comments, an integrated management plan will be developed prior to approval of the initial final plat for
this development which ensures that the amount of irrigation throughout the site, as well as use and
runoff of pesticides, snow melt chemicals and fertilizers, is minimized to avoid or mitigate adverse
geologic and other environmental impacts.
Drainage Standards (Section 4-650) - It appears that the drainage proposed for this site is
satisfactory to the County Engineer. As a condition of approval, all engineering studies, plans and
construction drawings should be completed to the satisfaction of the County Engineer prior to approval
of the initial final plat for this development.
Grading and Erosion Control Standards (Section 4-660) - It appears that the grading and erosion
41
02-05-2002
proposed for this proposal are satisfactory to the County Engineer. As a condition of approval, all
engineering studies, plans and construction drawings should be completed to the satisfaction of the
County Engineer prior to approval of the initial final plat for this development.
Utilitv and Lighting Standards (Section 4-670) - It appears that the utilities and lighting
proposed for this proposal are satisfactory to the County Engineer. As a condition of approval, all
engineering studies, plans and construction drawings should be completed to the satisfaction of the
County Engineer prior to approval of the initial final plat for this development.
Water SUlJlJlv Standards (Section 4-680) - The Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority has
indicated that it will have adequate treatment and storage capacity, and that the Edwards Metropolitan
District and the Berry Creek Metropolitan District have adequate water rights to serve customers in this
development. Water service is contingent upon conveyance of certain water mains; dedication of certain
water rights or payment of cash in lieu of water rights dedication; and payment of applicable water tap
fees, plant investment fees and fees in lieu of treated storage water. The Applicants have indicated that
they will dedicate sufficient water rights to replace 120% of their irrigation season indoor use depletions,
as required by the Metropolitan Districts. It appears that the construction drawings for the potable water
supply are satisfactory to the County Engineer.
A separate 1041 permit application permit has been submitted by the Applicant and approved by
the Eagle County Permit Authority.
Sanitarv Sewage DislJosal Standards (Section 4-690) - Sewage disposal service is proposed to
be provided by the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District. The District has indicated that it is willing
and has the available treatment capacity to handle this development. It appears that the construction
drawings for the sewage disposal system are satisfactory to the County Engineer. A separate 1 041 permit
application has been submitted by the Applicant and approved by the Eagle County Permit Authority.
Impact Fees and Land Dedication Standards (Division 4-7)
This Division requires a dedication of school land or a payment of cash-in-lieu for a subdivision
with a residential component. The Eagle County School District will determine the applicability of
school land dedication and or cash in lieu thereof. Road impact fees will be required in the amounts and
at the times specified in Section 4-710 of the Land Use Regulations.
[+] FINDING: Consistent with Land Use Regulations. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (2)]
With the recommended conditions, it HAS been demonstrated that the proposed subdivision
complies with all of the standards of this 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.
STANDARD: Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (3)] - The proposed
subdivision shall be 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 shall be consistent with the utility's
service plan or shall require prior County approval of an amendment to the service plan. Proposed
road extensions shall be consistent with the Eaele 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.
The proposed development lies within the developing center of Edwards. The entire range of
necessary facilities can be provided essentially at one time, and the extension of public services will not
require duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of
42
02-05-2002
development. It appears that the construction drawings for the provision of public services are
satisfactory to the County Engineer and that utility lines are properly sized.
[+] FINDING: Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (3)]

shall submit the following: "Proposed PUD guide settingforth the proposed land use restrictions."
A PUD Guide has been submitted which satisfies the requirements of this Standard. The PUD
Guide contemplates that this Preliminary Plan creates large development tracts for future development
activities and projects that are not yet designed or detailed. Consequently, the PUD Guide has been
revised to more clearly specify procedures and opportunities to review proposed development for each of
the Tracts.
[+] FINDING: Initiation [Section 5-240.F.2.a.(8)]
Applicant HAS submitted a PUD Guide that demonstrates that the requirements of this Section have
been fully met.
Requirements for a Zone Change. In Section 5-240.D., Standards, the Eagle County Land Use
Regulations provide that "the wisdom of amending the. . . Official Zone District Map or any other map
incorporated in these Regulations is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the Board of
County Commissioners and is not controlled by anyone factor. Based on the above analysis and other
available information, Staff makes the following findings as provided in this Section of the Land Use
Regulations:
(1) Consistency With Master Plan. The proposed PUD IS consistent with the purposes, goals,
policies and FLUM of the Master Plan;
(2) Compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed amendment IS compatible with existing
and proposed uses surrounding the subject land, and, with proposed conditions of approval, it IS an
43
02-05-2002
appropriate zone district for the land, considering its consistency with the purpose and standards of the
proposed zone district;
(3) Changed conditions. There ARE changed conditions that require an amendment to modify
the present zone district and/or its density/intensity;
(4) Effect on natural environment. The proposed amendment WILL NOT result in significantly
adverse impacts on the natural environment [beyond those resulting from development under current
zoning], including but not limited to water, air, noise, storm water management, wildlife habitat,
vegetation, and wetlands.
(5) Community need. It HAS BEEN demonstrated that the proposed amendment meets a
community need.
(6) Development patterns. The proposed amendment WILL result in a logical and orderly
development pattern, WILL NOT constitute spot zoning, WILL logically be provided with necessary
public facilities and services.
(7) Public interest. The area to which the proposed amendment would apply HAS changed or IS
changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to encourage a new use or density in the area.
Tom Braun, representative for Eagle County, was present to present the file. He stated this is
quite a challenge today and a big opportunity. He stated they have seen many changes as this has moved
forward. He stated he is also representing the School District. The project has been boiled down to
public purpose being education, recreation, open space and attainable housing. He introduced some of
the others present to provide information and answer questions. Peak Land Consultants, Jeff Howltier,
Alex Aerinello and Hepworth Pawlak. He stated they have five major elements to speak to today. First
of all the application is a PUD application, SketchlPreliminary plan together with the re-zoning
application. He stated the 1041 permit application was reviewed and approved this past summer.
He stated in terms of ownership they have two parcels, the Berry Creek 5th which is the Western
portion and the Miller Ranch on the eastern portion. He reviewed the history of the land and the
partnership with the Eagle County Recreational Authority. He stated the Recreation Authority conveyed
their interest in 1999 to Eagle County. The joint owners now are the School District and Eagle County.
He spoke to the various plans that have been discussed over the years. He spoke to the various processes
that took place as well. He showed some exhibits of the previous planning efforts. He stated back in
1997 during a community meeting, they discussed the combining of the two parcels. In 2000 the
discussions led to a recreation planning process.
He stated concept plans were developed and Intergovernmental Agreements were adopted
beginning in 1999. In 2001 the IGA was amended and the concept plan was developed. He stated you
will see the emphasis on recreation, open space, education and housing. He showed an aerial photo of
the property. He again explained the location of the subject property and the surrounding uses. Existing
uses are limited at this time being the boarding facilities and the rodeo grounds. He stated uses and
access is an important part. Winslow Road is really the only formal road. He stated they did a
comprehensive evaluation of the property regarding wildlife. He stated there is some use by elk in the
winter. Bear control is a future issue. They have reviewed the wetlands, flood plain, vegetation, and
geology. In an early assessment they found some concerns with sinkholes but their geologists do not
believe there is a hindrance.
In terms of combining the sketch and preliminary plans he wants to review the land uses,
phasing, improvements and develop review. He showed an exhibit of the sketch plan approved back in
2000. He explained the exhibit. He stated as reviewed they found the need to make some changes. He
showed a second exhibit depicting the new plan.
Mr. Braun stated when looking at the land use table and the various uses you must focus on the
ownership. He stated currently the west half is owned by the County and the east half by the School
District. He stated the ownerships will change and the two groups in common would own the proposed
44
02-05-2002
CMC site. He spoke to the acreage and the designated uses. 22% open space or 50.2 acres, 17%
recreation or 35.8 acres, 42% education or 93.9 acres. An estimated 30 acres of education land is
planned to be used for recreation. He showed an exhibit of how the property could look once it is
developed. He explained the exhibit.
He looked again at the land use parcels. He stated when you look at the three parcels on the west
end, they will have the greatest amount of use. He stated the housing side is 31.5 acres. It is envisioned
to be a for sale product. He spoke to the existing middle school and that an elementary school would be
added. He stated in the central area of the two parcels there would be a concentrated educational pod.
He spoke to the nuts and bolts ofthe project, water rights, utilities services, phasing,
development review process and design review process.
Regarding water rights, both the County and the School District have ample rights. He spoke to
the utility service for the property. Water service will be from Edwards Metropolitan District and Berry
Creek Metropolitan District.
He spoke to project phasing and with the initial phase they will be developing the site so that
individual sites can be developed. There will be construction on Miller Ranch Road and improvements
to the intersection. They will be modifying the existing Charter School Road, tying in with Winslow
Road, initiating the construction of the new Cemetery Bridge and Highway 6 connection. There will
also be a multitude of trails and sidewalks. Irrigation systems, drainage improvements and landscaping
is also included in this phase.
He spoke to the trails and pointed out trails that are currently in place. They will be extending
the existing trail, build a trail along Miller Ranch Road the entire length of the property, wrap around the
Middle School and then tie in with the other existing trail.
Traffic is clearly one of the biggest issues with this project. He spoke to what exists today. They
have completed a comprehensive analysis, looked at all the proposed uses, looked at the travel patterns
and what the trips will mean to the existing system and future systems. The Edwards Access Plan is a
helpful tool laying the groundwork for future improvements. He stated the access points are consistent
with the plan and a second access to Singletree.
They broke the project up in phases as it will effect traffic. On build out they are budgeting for
9,000 trips per day
He introduced George Roussos, Asst. County Administrator, to speak to traffic.
Chairman Gallagher told those who came in late that they must sign in to speak to the file.
Mr. Roussos stated the question that everyone is asking is what effect will this have on the traffic
in Edwards. He spoke to the Edwards Access Control Plan developed in 1996. He referenced some of
the key points and key areas. He stated in the past year there have been some severe traffic
considerations. Some of the remedies they have done to improve mobility and safety included turn lanes
off the Spur Road, added an additional lane on the off ramps and inserted traffic lights. In 2002 there are
three improvements being planned. Spur Road Access improvements, Miller Ranch Road construction
and commencement of the Cemetery Bridge Replacement. He stated a traffic signal will be installed at
Miller Ranch Road, accell and decelllanes into Miller Ranch Road. The southern entrance into the
Texaco will be closed and the northern access with be converted into a right in and right out. Those
improvements make the Spur Road significantly safer. They hope to begin construction of Miller Ranch
Road in the spring, which will run from the Edwards Spur Road, across the Berry Creek property to the
Charter School and Middle School and ending at the railway tracks. This should reduce the traffic on
Berry Creek Road, a safer intersection with Miller Ranch Road and the Charter School, a secondary exit
at Singletree and all this should improve the emergency vehicle response capability. He spoke to the
bridge grant to replace Cemetery Bridge. The net effect will be improved access on Miller Ranch Road.
In 2003 the planned improvements include access improvements on Highway 6 where Cemetery Bridge
will come out onto the Highway. Between 2003 and 2005 you will see the development impacts of the
build out of the parcel. He understands by 2008 that the new Spur Road will be constructed. He stated
45
02-05-2002
the planned improvements are adequate to provide service through 2008. The effects provide a
significant jump start and safety and traffic flow should improve.
Mr. Braun stated they want to respond to the items raised by the Planning Commission. He
stated the first three bullet items are needs for a more detailed PUD guide, a library and noise and light
controls should be in the PUD Guide. He stated they heard that the proposal was not detailed enough.
They disagree. He spoke to the detailed changes made. They have added library, senior center and
community centers to the recreation piece as well as the school piece. They have not gone to the extent
of uses that would convey a County presence. He stated they have also added to the PUD Guide a
provision for an open space management plan to be adopted at final plat. There has been a provision
added to sign regulation and wildlife mitigation measures.
He stated these items were not were not included in the PUD Guide because they anticipate
following the Eagle County Land Use Regulations. They have included reference in the PUD guide to
that end. He stated they are being consistent with recent PUD's. He stated there was a concern about
the design review committee and explained the make up of the group.
Mr. Braun spoke to the suggestion that development of recreation facilities should be the number
one priority of the County. He spoke to the results of the Board meeting yesterday. He stated they have
prepared a list of conditions which might be appropriate to include. He spoke to the suggestion that the
shoulder width along Miller Ranch Road is too narrow and should be paved. He spoke to the suggestion
that the project should conform to LEEDS (Leadership, Energy, Environmental Design certification).
He explained the program as being a point system. If you do certain things in the design and
construction of the building and if the site is located in the right spot and you can an address energy and
environmental efficiencies, you can obtain a certain number of points. They have suggested they will
commit to looking at these type of things in the design of the project for the development of each phase.
Tracts I and J should be permanently restricted as open space. He stated what they have
proposed in the PUD guide are uses that limit the development activity in those areas to very limited
uses that will maintain that property in a natural open space condition. They have agreed to place a deed
restriction on that property.
Tracts I and J should have a management plan. They acknowledge the wisdom of that suggestion
and have worked in that direction. They suggested that plan look at fixing access, where trails can or
can't go, vegetation management, seasonal closures. They have included that language in the PUD
Guide and obligate the County to establish a management plan. He spoke to the Colorado River Ranch
project. They are following the same standards and practices.
There was a concern that the equine/rodeo uses should be maintained on the property. He spoke
to the Counties commitment to provide those services at the fairgrounds. They are working with other
entities to make that happen at the upper end of the County. He spoke to the boarding facilities that
could be available at the fairgrounds.
Road improvements must be done concurrent with development. He stated if you pull the
housing out of the equation and look at the other uses in the area, the traffic will remain the same. He
stated with the exception of houses these are trip destinations.
There is a need for parks and open turf areas in the recreation site. He stated they believe that is
a very important point.
Finally with the sketch and preliminary plan being considered inappropriate, they believe that
this is the time to develop the property and it is allowed by law.
In summary, they believe that this is a culmination of years of planning and public input, they
have been sensitive to site design, it addresses a variety of community goals, they have mitigated
impacts, have built in provisions for future development review and the project defines the essence of a
public purpose project.
Mr. Braun concluded his presentation and stated they would be happy to answer questions.
Chairman Gallagher spoke to the recreation in the first phase of the improvement. He stated the
46
02-05-2002
Commissioners have unanimously committed to funding this while looking for funding partners. Lastly,
the preservation of the open space. The Commissioners have agreed to deed restrict the open space at
the east end of the property and enter into a management agreement.
Chairman Gallagher opened public comment. He stated they intend to go down the list as people
have signed up. He asked speakers limit their remarks to three minutes and not be repetitive
unnecessarily. He stated it will expedite the process and give everyone a chance to speak.
Tony O'Rourk, area resident, stated he is a neighbor to this parcel. He stated professionally they
have a contained interest in the rodeo series. Mr. O'Rourk recognized staff for their coverage ofthis
file. From a personal perspective, this is a pristine area. He stated having lived in this area for six years
he thinks this will address the inadequacy of the recreational opportunities. He stated traffic is a
nightmare. This is an area dying for a need for more access. As it relates to the rodeo, the Resort
Company has been a sponsor of the rodeo. They are concerned about the displacement ofthe rodeo but
believe they will move the rodeo to Beaver Creek. A decision will be made on February 14,2002.
Doris Dewton, Trustee of Colorado Mountain College, asked that they redefine recreation to be
re-creation. She stated higher education is a part of the re-creation of the valley. She spoke to the
programs that can be brought forward with presence of CMC. She read a motion as passed by the Board
of Trustees at a vote of 6 to 1. She read as follows "the Board directs administration to proceed with
plans for a 35,000 square foot facility at Berry Creek. Colorado Mountain College will continue to
provide access to education and services in the western Eagle River Valley, that Colorado Mountain
College will explore the sale or lease of the current Eagle Center and/or identify other spaces to provide
other access most efficiently, that Colorado Mountain College will consolidate staff and programming
for the entire Eagle River Valley to the Berry Creek Facility. In accomplishing these objectives, the
administration will seek to follow the Colorado Commission for Higher Education Guidelines." She
stated at the same time the administration of CMC has developed a time table to do a specific needs
assessment for the provision of services in the western region of the Eagle River Valley. The final item
is that the CMC buildings will be designed according to Green Certification principles.
John King, Planning Commission member, stated that he recommended denial of this proposal.
Chairman Gallagher asked if it is legal for a Planning Commission member to speak to this or
introduce new information.
Mr. King stated he is speaking as a citizen and not as a Planning Commission member.
Mr. Moorhead stated that is appropriate.
Mr. King spoke to traffic. There was testimony given that related funding mayor may not be
available in 2008. That is an essential component to this plan. He stated he finds it ironic that the day
after the Planning Commission recommended denial, Commissioner Stone related there was a surplus of
$40 million dollars in the County. He stated some of those funds could be made available to help this
project. He spoke to the schools in Eagle County being treated very well by the community. Two years
ago a $44 million dollar bond issue was passed for the schools. Now, as a community, we are going
back to the schools and asking for their consideration in how they develop this parcel, to be sensitive to
the community needs. He believes they received an unqualified no. Mr. King spoke to the lighting.
Once this is passed, the school is under no obligation to take recommendations from anyone. Mr. Braun
would have everyone believe they would light a football field as per County standards which is a twenty
foot pole. Anyone who plays football knows that is a light is mounted on a 20 foot pole they would not
be able to see across the field. If that field is lit with 70 to 80 foot poles with multiple lamps, in its
current location, it will approach the elevation ofI-70, being a traffic hazard and a light pollution
nightmare. He spoke to the utilities indicating phone service and gas service in the area is inadequate.
He stated they heard testimony that water rights were not an issue. He stated it was presented in the
power point presentation today that water rights must be acquired. Talking about this for ten years does
not bring out the details. He suggested that more time needs to be given to study this and it will solve
the problems.
47
02-05-2002
Tom Leonhardt, permanent resident of Arrowhead, stated he is president of that homeowners
association this year and he is an Engineer. He echoed Tony's comments and applauded the staffs
presentation. He supports the recreation and that the amount of land is less than before. He is concerned
that there is no commitment from the School Board to add to recreation. He stated the traffic issues on
Highway 6 and Cemetery Road were not addressed. He believes that the traffic is going to change with
the construction of the road and that it is a potential conflict. He does not believe that housing belongs
on this site, but if it has to be put on the site, it has to be looked at. He suggested it is poor housing with
little imagination. He spoke to the parking and the density.
Sarah Ladd, resident of Homestead, stated she believes that the issue boils down to the public
wanting responsible and accounting planning. She would like to see the space used as recreation and
open space. People don't want more development and they do want the equestrian center and the rodeo
to stay in Edwards. She spoke to what they will see from Homestead and Singletree. She spoke to the
survey and the community meetings. People want trails, open space and parks and recreation. She
stated no one has stated they want more traffic, more parking lots, more pavement, more round-a-bouts,
more traffic lights and more light pollution. She spoke to an newspaper article of November 14,2000,
which speaks to providing County residents with more schools, recreation, open space and some
employee housing. It also speaks to the current plans as approved by the Commissioners, include other
things, facilities for community events, including the rodeo and equestrian facility. She quoted Michael
Gallagher as saying "How sweet it is, we are going to have right here in the middle of the County, an
awesome space. Weare going to keep the equestrian activities, including the rodeo, and hopefully
Colorado Mountain College will find a home there. One of our most important factors of all, employee
housing." She asked how a year later this process has been altered so dramatically. She asked and
begged them to listen to the community members and the Planning Commission and to do this
responsibly.
Ron Mitchell, stated he has taken off work to be here and is representing Diane Plunkett, his
significant other and himself. She is definitely a horsewoman and has grown up as such. She does
board her horse at the Berry Creek 5th parcel. He stated he believes that the equestrian center and the
view corridor are important to preserve. He stated the traffic is out of control and growth is out of
control. He can't think of much that has been built in the last twenty years that has enhanced his life.
He asked they preserve the Equestrian center and the pasture land.
Tim Cochrane, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce and a twenty four year resident,
thanked the planning staff and the applicant. He stated he is here today to represent the Board of the
Chamber of Commerce. He spoke to the community use of the facilities for the seniors and other
groups. He stated they do support the CMC site but not at the expense of the Eagle Campus. He spoke
to the County presence and that there should be some form of County presence in the facility. He
suggested a sheriff s substation will slow down the traffic. He spoke to the kids and their presence. He
spoke to the rodeo but reminded them that there is a beautiful fairgrounds down here. He stated if the
final plan does not show a rodeo, they would like to have them here in Eagle.
Rick Beveridge, Western Eagle County Metro Recreation District, thanked the Board, staff and
the Town of Vail for the efforts they have made on recreation and that the Commissioners have the
support ofWECMRD.
Vince Cook, a Commissioner ofthe State of Colorado for Science and Technology. He stated
that position is appointed by the Governor. He stated he is a resident of Eagle County. His job is to
coordinate ten Counties from a science and technology position. He stated there is a need for higher
education of the work force. When he started looking at the ten Counties he is responsible for, he was
looking at how the vision of the State could work with that of the County. He stated it is all about vision
and it is all about education. He stated that is the vision that he is on and that of the Commissioners. He
stated they are going to get jobs out of this and they are going to get a more educated community. He
spoke to the technology classes now available. He submitted three handouts. The vision is not only to
48
02-05-2002
have a 21 st century campus, but a 21 st century academic academy available in the Eagle Valley. It will
provide a four year program.
Adam Palmer, director of Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainabi1ity, stated he has been here four
years and he thinks there is a demand for this project. A couple points about Green design, he asked
what that means and how it is designed. He stated the LEED program you need to achieve 21 of 69
points. The biggest benefit is energy efficiency. He spoke to a longer life cycle and low maintenance,
attraction to home buyers and retaining their value. He asked that they be conscientious of the residents.
He stated he would be happy to partner with this project. He spoke to other tangibles with Green
development. He stated he is concerned with the traffic patterns.
John McCulley, Edwards Metropolitan District Board, stated he is also a teacher for CMC and he
realizes the importance of the decision being made. He stated it is important to keep in mind the traffic
and that Edwards has committed $75,000. He stated housing is an important component ofthe traffic
issues. One of the components that reduces traffic is to keep the employees close. He stated it is
important to remember three components. One, recreation is exceptional along with education and
housing. He thinks that this can be the shining star of housing for employees.
Cindy Eskwith, Edwards resident for 29 years, stated she loves this new plan for the Berry Creek
5th because of soccer and because of the high school. She stated she is sorry that this has changed and
will not be the equestrian center as it is. She believes, however, that there are fewer people that use this
area in its current state than will use the college and the recreational soccer fields. She stated she
became involved in youth sports because of the value it gives to working as a team. She stated last
spring she surveyed 50 student soccer or hockey players and 49 ofthem were enrolled in college. She
thanked the Commissioners for redesigning this in order to make it better.
Peter Lord, twelve year resident of Edwards, property manager for the Reserve and the facilitator
for ECOGE. He echoed concerns for the Spur Road and Highway 6 traffic problems. In general he
thinks the plan is a good one.
Nancy Cole, President ofthe Board at Berry Creek Equestrian Center, stated she would not ask
them today to not build the CMC center there. She stated the college is only planning on building on six
acres to start. They propose that they go back to the Master Plan of September 2000 and put the college
on 7 to ten acres and the high school on 24 acres. She spoke to allowing the two school facilities to
share a parking lot. She spoke to the Planning Commissioners vote of no. She asked they respect and
listen to their decision. She does not feel there has been an answer to the question of why the equestrian
center and rodeo could not stay. She asked how many people in the room are against the plan. A
majority of hands were raised. She asked the Board to make a responsible decision and believes it can
work for everyone.
Ken Marchetti, stated he works with a number of the metropolitan districts, and applauded the
Commissioners decision to place the deed restriction on the two eastern most parcels. He stated
secondly, the 1997 Edwards Access Control Plan, five years have lapsed since the plan was put into
place, but not a lot has moved forward in addressing those problems. He stated they are looking at 2008
for improvement ofthe Spur Road. He suggested the housing be done at the same time as the Spur
Road. He stated the plan did show a potential traffic light but the Highway 6 study has not been
completed. He urged they complete that plan. He stated he would like to applaud the decision to move
forward with CMC and if they could do that hand in hand with the Equestrian center and boarding that
would be great.
Bill Simmons, member of the Edwards Metropolitan District, stated he has attended many
ECOGE meetings. He stated he has great concerns with the traffic. He suggested they are trying to get 2
plus 3 to equa14. The other issue is on the recreation parcel and he applauds the Commissioners for
moving this piece forward.
David Cope, an educator and parent, thanked the staff and the Commissioners for driving this
forward. He echoed the comments of Tony O'Rourk. He thinks having the two campuses together is a
49
02-05-2002
great idea and that the attainable housing near the facility is a real plus. He is a coach and a recreation
user. He applauded the civil nature with which the meetings have been conducted. He is a proponent of
the plan.
David Borofsky, Interim Campus Dean for CMC, thanked everyone here for their kind words
about CMC. He stated they have been given the directive from the Board of Trustees to build the
building in Berry Creek 5th. They are ready to go. They met with their architect today. He asked to
respond to a couple of items. He told Tim Cochrane he was always welcome. He spoke to the media
and the information about those in the western part of Eagle County. He stated they have agreed to
further discuss the needs of this end of the valley and that they will remain here and provide educational
services. He urged the Board to approve this plan and allow it to move forward.
John Steffens, employee at the Vail Marriott and coach with the Vail Soccer Club, thanked Cindy
Eskwith for her comments about the team sport. He gave his support ofthe project and thanked them for
their time.
Lisa Cheesman, resident of Homestead, asked they bring back the Equestrian Center and reduce
the housing. She asked they convince them they can handle the traffic problem. She asked they increase
the recreation space and the uses. She spoke to the other sports. She spoke to the sidewalks in
Homestead and that they don't get used in the winter because of the conditions. She suggested if you
think kids won't be using the road, it is an error. She stated CMC is a completely valuable resource for
this community, but she is trying to think of a way to share facilities. She spoke to the large amount of
parking and the playing fields at each of the schools. She spoke to the lighting issue and that she would
like to see lighting pollution control. She thanked them for the deed restrictions as well.
Laine Coffey, area resident, stated Eugene Sack could not remain at this hearing and she read his
thoughts for the Board. He praised the Planning Commission for their vote on the Berry Creek 5th. To
all of them he stressed the words community and process. She spoke to the guidelines inherited by the
Board, huge growth in Edwards, mistakes up valley, a large college lobby. She suggested the
constituents that have quietly embraced the foundations of planning of Berry Creek 5th. She spoke to the
safety of children among high school students, middle school students and college students. She spoke
to the other users. She questioned if the County can provide adequate traffic control. They don't know if
they can plan for the long term value of their homes, real estate and businesses, if a local college
population encourages current Edwards visitors who shop in Edwards. The Edwards residents and
everyone who voted for a County Commissioner deserve more planning. She asked they go back to the
drawing table and be patient.
Dudley Irwin, resident of Edwards, stated he is here to talk about life in a vacuum. He showed
the Master Plan for the Berry Creek 5th. He stated what they are getting is something different. He
spoke to the housing. He questions with life in the vacuum if they have taken into account the Lindholm
project and the housing being proposed by Vail Resorts. He spoke to the CMC of the future and that
many of the students were here for ESL classes and resort classes. He stated the people of Eagle County
came up with a Master Plan for the area and now the Board has come up with something totally
different.
Pat Hammon, a member of the Planning Commission but speaking as a private citizen and
president of the Bellyache Homeowners Association, stated the present ownership has only come about
since 1999. This project is important enough that they should go through routine, separate sketch plan,
separate preliminary plan. She is concerned that the open space is not adequately provided for and that
the open space has been deed restricted. She questioned the wording in the plan. She suggested that the
open space should be handed over to a non-profit organization. Her main concern is that it is currently
trashville and that they have no method to maintain this. She does not see any plan in here for public
parks and it should be included in the recreation area. She is concerned with light and noise and does
not believe the existing Land Use Regulations address that. She spoke to the LEEDS program and
would like to see that as a condition. She stated she would like to see a condition that the Board fund
50
02-05-2002
recreation in 2002.
Scott Cunningham, speaking for Michael Cacioppo, read as follows, "In order to keep my word
to others, I can not stay at this hearing. For any Commissioner that passes this proposal, I predict you
will be a one term Commissioner".
Glenn Davis, President of Vail Junior Hockey, spoke to the 180 kids in the Vail Junior Hockey
program and the 100 women who play on the women's team and the 30 men who play. He spoke to the
additional programs and that hockey in the community is growing. He suggested he represents a lot of
the parents and spoke to Dobson and the bubble rink. However, most ofthe active players reside in the
Edwards area and farther west. He stated as he looks at the plan as proposed he believes they have used
the plan to accommodate the needs ofthe valley. He tends to think of the youth development plans. He
stated again that most of the participants reside in this area and everyone would like to see an ice rink in
this area.
Toni Berns, a resident of the valley for thirty years and a member of the Edwards Community
Taskforce, stated she believes the Berry Creek 5th is great but she thinks the Equestrian center should
remain. She spoke to mass transportation. They have problems in Edwards and they have to think of
these issues before breaking ground. She stated she believes in CMC and she came up with the library.
Take care ofthe people in Edwards. Give people access to books and computers.
Brian Woodell, a resident of Edwards, thanked Mr. Braun, the planning staff and the
Commissioners. He thanked everyone that is here today. He stated he supports the plan in many of its
elements, but he thinks the housing should be concurrent with the Spur Road reconstruction. He spoke
to the Cemetery Road and that it was closed to preclude traffic problems on Highway 6. He stated he
would like to think that the County can hold themselves to the same standard as they do others. He
stated we all applaud the use of CMC but questioned if any other college had the opportunity to look at
the site. He stated the initial use for CMC was 16 acres but he questions what they intend to build. He
stated the planning staff did a wonderful job and they have done a good job of bringing it forward. He
urged them to continue this item, take it in time and not push it through.
Steve Lamontagne, a resident of Edwards, stated he wants to address the traffic issues. He
doesn't think the lights have improved the safety concerns. He stated on Sunday the traffic was backed
up on 1-70. He asked they all look east to see what the roundabouts have done. He does not want
Edwards to look like a suburb of Denver.
Arlene Quinon, a member of the Planning Commission, stated one of the most difficult votes she
has made was the one made to deny this application. She stated it is a very good plan, but the devil is in
the details. She suggested if it had been a sketch plan, she could have had more leniency, but at
preliminary plan there are still too many questions. She asked that they take the time to make this a fine
project. She suggested as a private citizen she would like to see a couple of things in this plan. She
spoke to riding and her two granddaughters and she feels that western riding is part of the western
heritage. She thinks they should look at that as part of the recreational plan whether at Berry Creek or
elsewhere. She thinks this can be a fine project if time is given.
Chairman Gallagher expressed the Board's appreciation for all of the input given today. He
stated the next step is for staff and the applicant to respond to the comments. He asked staff if they had
anything to include.
Joe Forinash spoke to the four additional conditions that he had identified. He read those into the
record as follows:
1. The applicant shall commit to exploring the feasibility of incorporating energy efficient design
in construction practices into the development of the project.
2. Concurrent with approval of the final plat, a deed restriction shall be established on Tracts I
and J, the open space tracts at the east end ofthe development, the purpose of which shall be to ensure
that these tracts remain in a predominantly natural condition in perpetuity.
3) That Eagle County agrees to assist private operators in establishing a summer rodeo series.
51
02-05-2002
4) Eagle County commits to make funding available in 2002 to develop recreation facilities and
improvements on Tract C, the recreation parcel and on Tracts I and J, the open space parcel.
He stated these four conditions of approval are in addition to those in staffs presentation.
Tom Braun stated in terms of a few specific points in answer to public comment. He spoke to
the housing number. He stated they have not increased the housing number, but taken two sites and
combined them into one. He stated the actual density has gone down. He stated another comment was
regarding the joint use for parking. He stated the uses all have overlapping peak functions. He spoke to
minimizing asphalt. He spoke to the devil being in the details and the open turf in the recreation facility.
He asked when do you deal with the detail. He spoke to the preliminary plan where you don't usually
know what the uses will be until it is developed. He stated the PUD guide establishes a range of uses.
He suggested that is part of the next step. The last question was the process and what happened relative
to the 2000 recreation plan. He stated there is no question that things have changed. He spoke to the
landowners being approached by CMC and both have taken the needs of the college into account and
that is why they are where they are today. That plan was a County wide framework, but things have
evolved.
George Roussos stated he wanted to reiterate that in 2002 and 2003 they are going to construct
over $6,000,000 in traffic improvements. He spoke to Cemetery Bridge and the highway access. He
spoke to the accell and decelllanes. He stated there will be a closure on the Logan Park subdivision that
will reduce the conflict points. He stated there was a comment on the signal in Edwards and a problem
on Sunday. He asked Helen Migche1brink to address that.
Helen Migchelbrink, County Engineer, stated the response of the citizens has been
overwhelmingly positive. She has had some complaints on the light cycling. She stated these traffic
lights are in on a temporary basis until they are able to develop roundabouts. She spoke to CDOT
tweaking the light cycling.
Chairman Gallagher asked for information on the transit service on the site.
Mr. Braun stated they would service coming in from the west end and again over the Cemetery
Bridge. He stated they are working with ECO to identify the need and the necessary sites for bus stops
and park and rides.
Chairman Gallagher asked about the School District and the Equine Center. He asked how much
rent the Equine Center is paying on the County land.
Ms. Cole stated one dollar a month for 110 acres.
Chairman Gallagher stated essentially what they have is County subsidized horse housing. He
stated he is not complaining it is just a fact. He stated that a previous Board of Education agreed that the
Equestrian Center could stay until they were ready to build.
Karen Strakbein, Eagle County School District, stated the School District does a five year
planning process and this site has been identified as a potential site. She stated before a building can be
built, they must go before the voters for approval. Then the building would be two to three years out.
She stated once the bond issue would be passed it would then become a construction site. She suggested
it would be three to five years out. She spoke to the current lease expiring in May and the School
District will negotiate with the Equestrian Center for continued horse operation until such time that a
bond issue would be passed.
Chairman Gallagher reiterated that upon the termination of the current lease in May, the School
District would then enter into negotiations with the Equine Center for continued horse operations until
such time as a bond election or some other form of funding would be successful.
Nancy Cole asked if the Board charges for soccer fields.
Jack Ingstad, County Administrator, stated they do and they are $1.00 per year.
Nancy Cole stated it was proposed by the County for them to pay $1.00 a year. She stated a year
an a half ago, they were in the Master Plan. She stated they have said it all. It worked before and it can
still work. They want to be there for the future, not just three to five years.
52
02-05-2002
Chairman Gallagher stated again he is not complaining, he wants the public to understand.
Commissioner Menconi asked David Carter, Housing Director, to come to the podium. He asked
if Mr. Carter could give a general overview what he has determined is the housing need for units to own
and occupy.
Mr. Carter stated he would like to respond countywide and then to Berry Creek. He stated there
is a critical need for home ownership in Eagle County. He stated it is one of the lowest in the state. He
stated the cost for a starter home is three times higher than elsewhere in the State. He stated the average
mean price in Eagle County is $712,000. The median price is really about $375,000. He stated home
prices are going up more rapidly than wages. He stated home prices have gone up 175 time faster than
wages in the last ten years.
Commissioner Menconi asked if that has accelerated more in the last five years.
Mr. Carter stated it has essentially stayed the same. He stated if you look at the match with jobs
and housing, it would take 4.5 average wage jobs to buy a medium price home. He stated people deal
with this by commuting. He stated in the last census the number of commuters has increased about
600%. He stated in terms ofthis project, one ofthe greatest issues is the lack of for sale product. He
spoke to the County's rental projects. This would be the County's first venture in for sale homes. In
1999 the Housing Need Assessment found that 1800 renters want to move into for sale units. This
would be about 1/6 of that group. They looked at what else is available on the market and the proposed
prices for Berry Creek. There will be a variety of products. The condos are proposed at $116,00 to
$150,000. On the MLS they found one at $116,00 and eight at $150,000 and none of those in Edwards.
The town homes are $172,000 to $191,000 for that price. There are currently none on the MLS. He
spoke to the single family homes and the proposed prices for the Berry Creek product is $185,000 to
$260,200.00 and in the MLS does show a variety, 19 single family and/or duplex homes available, none
of those were in the upper valley and sixteen of those were in Gypsum, that includes a number of them
in the older section of Gypsum, which includes mobile homes on single family lots. He stated generally
speaking they would want to have housing available closer to the jobs. There are virtually no units in
these price ranges available in the Edwards area or up valley. He stated this would be an effort by the
County to address the for sale component.
Commissioner Menconi asked the number of units in the valley that are deed restricted.
Mr. Carter stated it all varies. There are some that are price restricted or restricted to local
owners.
Commissioner Menconi spoke to Vail Commons and Wildwood and suggested he doesn't know
of any that are deed restricted in price.
Mr. Carter spoke to Vail and the Town of Avon building some. He stated Town of Eagle has a
few as well.
Commissioner Menconi asked to speak with Vince Hooper.
Mr. Hooper, ASW, stated their company has been building for about thirty years in the US. They
started in California but also in Sante Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico. They are currently building in
Steamboat Springs which is restricted to locals. He stated they submitted a proposal for the Berry Creek
site and they were selected out of a variety of other designers to propose a project for this site. He stated
at that time it was a smaller site and in a different location. They came up with what they thought were
variable plans. Through the process, they incorporated another parcel which allows them to do more
creative things with the site plan. One of the issues in their minds is that it is going to be hard to create a
neighborhood within the Edwards area to hook back with the Edwards area. He stated the new
urbanized design is a desire to create a sense of connection with your neighbor, allowing kids to play on
sidewalks and on porches. It will put the garages in back. He thinks it will be more reflective as where
the nation is going in future housing. It is important to recognize that affordable housing gets affordable
by having density. They have actually reduced the density to create a more quality atmosphere. To do
so they have made a mixture of single family, duplex lots, and town homes.
53
02-05-2002
Commissioner Menconi asked about the mixture.
Mr. Hooper stated they have not finalized those figures but they are figuring 2 to 3 bedrooms in
lofts and town homes. In single family and duplex homes they will have 3 to 4 bedrooms.
Commissioner Menconi asked what type of individual or family would purchase these homes.
Mr. Hooper stated from their experience it tends to be people like the firefighters, school
teachers, county staff members. It is for people who want something more and a place to call home. It
is couples and young families and those trying to move out of the rental market.
Commissioner Menconi asked how many people here rent opposed to own. Two people raised
their hands. He asked how many live in more than 1,200 square feet, the majority raised their hands. He
asked Mr. Braun if he feels he has been able to satisfy or create closure to the issues raised by the
Planning Commission and if not, which items does he disagree with or which can not meet their need.
Mr. Braun stated they tried to address these concerns as best they can. He referred to the bullet
points and believes they have made many of those changes. He stated they have not addressed the issues
at this point. He spoke to the lighting standards. He stated they disagree with the Planning Commission
on the make up of the DRB. He spoke to the roads and transportation. The library and the County
presence are open to interpretation. The shoulder width they have a different viewpoint. He spoke to the
LEEDS program. Open space has been hit head on. The management plan he believes is consistent with
their objective. The boarding and horse use, they are continuing to work on that. Noise and light control
is a site specific thing that will happen at the next stage of development. He stated the code allows for
the combination of the two review processes. He thinks they have tried to do all they could at this
juncture.
Commissioner Menconi asked ifMr. Forinash has any comments raised by planning and zoning.
Mr. Forinash stated he believes that the responses have been reasonable and accommodate the
concerns raised.
Commissioner Menconi stated he has heard that this plan was not consistent with the Master
Plan. He asked for an explanation of where it would not be consistent.
Commissioner Stone suggested the reference was more to the Recreation Master Plan and not the
Community Master Plan.
Mr. Forinash suggested that had to do with the management of the open space. He stated they
review each of the standards and that portion of the regulations that says "if the common open space is
proposed to be maintained through an association or a non profit corporation, such organization shall
manage all common space and recreation and cultural facilities that are not dedicated to the public".
Commissioner Menconi asked if that was addressed would that make it consistent with the
Master Plan.
Mr. Forinash stated at this point everything is proposed to be managed by a public entity. He
stated they can state that the condition does comply.
Commissioner Menconi asked George Roussos if he could summarize his comments regarding
traffic referring to Mr. Braun's letter and point 3, that the road improvements must be done concurrent
with the development.
Mr. Roussos stated the indication is that in 2002 and 2003 they will spend $6,000,000 in
improvements that will provide a level of service that is acceptable by 2008. By 2008 the Edwards Spur
Road should be in place. Once that is done, the full needs of the development and the needs of the
community in general should be satisfactory.
Helen Migchelbrink concurred. She stated she would like to punctuate that they will not be
seeing any impacts of the development until 2003. As all the housing comes on, as the impacts occur, it
leads them to having the Spur Road improved.
Commissioner Menconi added he received a letter on December 28, 2001 from the Berry Creek
Metropolitan District. He stated the letter was written by Peter Berg. He read from the letter, "On
balance we feel that this plan reflects careful study and analysis of a number of the present and future
54
02-05-2002
needs of this growing community and proposes land use within the boarders that are appropriate, logical
and a workable just position. There will be those who limit the loss of the pastoral setting, open fields,
the rodeo and grazing livestock. However the external forces that are shaping this county cannot be
denied or stopped. We think that the careful planning and cooperation of the community leaders can
guide the inevitable growth development in a manner that will result in a vibrant and diverse community
where all can continue to enjoy living". He asked typically on a file when they receive letters of support
or denial they become part of the file. He asked if they have included all letters in the findings.
Mr. Forinash stated the letters received were not in support or denial but submitted as referral
letters stating their ability to serve the file.
Commissioner Stone asked to review some ofthe conditions being page 30 of30 in staffs
report.
Mr. Braun stated they are in agreement with all ofthem.
Commissioner Stone read them as follows:
1. A detailed landscape plan as specified in Section 4-220.C., Detailed Landscape Plan, of the
Land Use Regulations, be required which shows landscaping features along Miller Ranch Road, in
common areas and at anticipated intersections prior to approval of the initial final plat for this
development.
2. All engineering studies, plans and construction drawings be completed to the satisfaction of
the County Engineer prior to approval of the initial final plat for this development.
3. Adequate consideration should be given to the recommendations and suggestions of the
Colorado Geological Survey in its letter dated 21 November 2001.
4. The Traffic Impact Analysis completed for the Berry Creek/Miller Ranch PUD assumes the
completion of a variety of on and off-site improvements. In order to ensure concurrency with traffic
generated by the development of the PUD and related road improvements, the following road/circulation
improvements shall be included with the initial construction of the project:
He spoke to the additional conditions as stated by Mr. Forinash as follows:
1. The applicant shall commit to exploring the feasibility of incorporating energy efficient design
in construction practices into the development of the project.
2. Concurrent with approval of the final plat, a deed restriction shall be established on Tracts I
and J, the open space tracts at the east end of the development, the purpose of which shall be to ensure
that these tracts remain in a predominantly natural condition in perpetuity.
3) That Eagle County agrees to assist private operators in establishing a summer rodeo series.
4) Eagle County commits to make funding available in 2002 to develop recreation facilities and
improvements on Tract C, the recreation parcel and on Tracts I and J, the open space parcels.
a. Full access improvements as mandated by the State Highway Access Code (2CCR60 I-
1), at both the Edwards Spur Road/Miller Ranch Road intersection and the intersection of the relocated
Cemetery Bridge Road and State Highway 6.
b. Intersection improvements at Miller Ranch Road/Winslow Road and Miller Ranch
Road/Charter School Road.
c. Recreation trail and sidewalk improvements,
d. Modifications to existing Edwards Spur Road access points to the Edwards Station
project.
e. Improvements outlined above shall be in place concurrent with the completion of the
development of Tract A (the initial development of the CMC facility) and of Tract D (the housing tract).
Chairman Gallagher stated he did not have a clear understanding of what the Planning
Commission recommend for the DRB.
Mr. Braun inferred that there should be a higher percentage of board members from the Edwards
area.
Chairman Gallagher asked Mr. Roussos what encourages him to believe that the Spur Road will
55
02-05-2002
happen in 2008.
Mr. Roussos stated they have several tools at their disposal. He explained the first is the State
wide planning process, the second is other regional priorities that the County can go ahead and pursue
other funds, the third is the Board of County Commissioners having enacted the Road Impact Fee
Regulations which they do collect from commercial and residential units. The internal Board has
recognized that the Edwards Spur Road is the number one project in Eagle County. Finally they have
had discussions with Edwards Metropolitan District and they have indicated a willingness to come to the
table financially. They have made those representations to CD aT and that between now and 2008 there
is time to put the pressure on the State Department. He stated the consultant to CDOT is working on
looking at this project as part of Environment Impact Study that is under way. All these things being in
place the orchestration of the solution is possible within the time frame he identified.
Commissioner Gallagher asked Karen Strakbein if the School Board has had an opportunity to
review lighting that might diminish the impact.
Ms. Strakbein stated they would certainly be amenable to looking at different options. They have
not built one since 1983 when they built the field at Battle Mountain. He stated they have worked with
Town of Gypsum on the lighting at the new school there. She pointed out that the use of the night time
fields is normally only six nights per year.
Chairman Gallagher asked about community participation on the recreational facilities.
Ms. Strakbein explained that all of their facilities are available for community participation both
the buildings internally and externally on the fields.
Chairman Gallagher asked for the rough population of the schools today.
Ms. Strakbein stated a little over 5,000 students.
Chairman Gallagher spoke to the library and that he has had some discussions with Charlyn
Canada about the possibility of a library in the Edwards area. He spoke to the combination of the plans
and that it is too much too quick. He stated the combining of the plans would bother him except for fact
that each one of the uses will be coming back again individually for site review and to be dealt with a
separate process. He spoke to the Equine Center and he stated one of scariest things he has seen was
watching a young lady riding her horse on the Spur Road to get to a riding trail. He stated we are
looking at the probability that there will be horse boarding at the fairgrounds. One of the advantages is
the safe access to BLM property. The other thing about the Equine Center is that he does value it as a
recreational facility. It is his understanding that looking at the number of horses there, and attaching ten
people to each horse, that you are talking about a few hundred folks in a maintenance intense recreation
area compared to the thousands of other folks having other recreation needs. He thinks the horse
boarding can be better done in an area designed for it. The last comment is about the housing and he
does see it as a reduction. He asked about the school population and that there are at least 5,000 kids
here. He question is, where are they going to live. They are being zoned and priced out of their home
town. He believes that what they are doing here will address some of the problems. In looking strictly
at our school population we can't build too many houses.
Commissioner Stone stated he is sorry that not everybody in the audience has a copy, but he
spoke to a letter dated August 9, 1999 from the Board of County Commissioners to the representatives
and members of Government of the Eagle County Recreation Authority. He read this letter into the
record as follows because Eagle County makes it a habit of trying to keep their commitments: "It is with
great pleasure Eagle County proposed to purchase the interest of the member governments of the Eagle
County Recreation Authority in Berry Creek 5th Filing by retirement of the debt owed to the Town of
Vail. Eagle County's purpose in purchasing the interest of the other members would be to expedite
achieving the goals for which the Authority was originally formed. Eagle County has the available cash
(2,000,000), the legal authority and the desire to make this purchase. The Berry Creek 5th Filing is
located within the boundaries of the County and the Commissioners represent the interest of the whole
County .
56
02-05-2002
Eagle County would pledge to assure and fulfill all obligations ofthe Authority in the IGA.
Eagle County would pursue the recreation and housing purposes for which the property was obtained.
Eagle County further agrees to diligently and expeditiously pursue the recreation, housing and open
space goals upon which the original acquisition was purchased. Eagle County further pledges to use
additional County resources to reach those goals; and will welcome and request financial participation
and cooperation by other governments to speed the property development to achieve those goals.
Eagle County will diligently pursue development of affordable housing on the site, and will
submit affordable housing plans through the regular County Land Use Planned Unit Development
process for community review. Eagle County believes through such a submission it can insure the
citizens of the area, as well as the neighbors, can comment on any proposed development.
Jim Fritze is ready to assist Tom Moorhead in drafting the documents necessary to achieve this
proposal. Weare available should you have any questions or comments regarding our proposal.
Sincerely, the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners".
Commissioner Stone stated this is something they have moved forward with diligently and
carefully. He stated even though the Planning Commission voted denial, they have tried to address the
issues that they had. He spoke to the County presence and that it was never the intention of the County
to have a presence there. He does have a concern about making sure the pathways are well maintained.
He stated the County has taken that on along with some of the county trails. The horses are the most
difficult part of the plan and he stated he can assure them they worked and worked and worked on a plan
to accommodate the horses as well. He stated they are really pleased that CMC will be there. To answer
Brian's question about other schools, the four year schools have not shown an interest. He stated CMC
is committed and there is a commitment there to offer four year degrees. It is not financially feasible for
the four year colleges to come in there. He spoke to Mesa State. As for the horses, he is a horse owner.
They did have twelve horses and are down to five. He stated they used to keep their horses at Berry
Creek. He echoed Chairman Gallagher views. What he is saying is they are willing to commit financial
resources to make that a reality. He believes he has gone to bat to keep the horses there as long as
possible. He spoke to the plan site and the location for CMC and the School Districts could be reversed.
He stated if approved, CMC will be starting right away allowing for the horses to stay longer. He stated
he appreciates the plan submitted by Nancy Cole. They have looked at that and at many different sites
within the plan. He thinks the plan they came up with is a good one but that it needs additional
community involvement as they proceed. One of his concerns is parking and he doesn't like parking
lots. Perhaps a solution would be some kind of multi-story underground parking but that is expensive
and there are safety issues.
Commissioner Menconi stated he would like to begin to talk about all the time and the passion
that has gone into this vision over the last ten years. He spoke to the conversations he has had with
many of those present. A thing that is a constant theme for him as a representative is that they listen to
all the concerns of the community. He stated he has heard if you will listen to us at least at the end of
the day, even though we may not agree, we will feel we have been listened to. He stated he sees the
similarities with smart growth, open space, recreation, affordable housing, solid transportation,
education and child care. The people who are impacted are the children, the workers of this community,
parents, environmental individuals and those who protect the quality of life. He stated today he has
listened more to the things they have in common. He stated he has come here today with a synergy of
things that improve with public input. He stated he understands, honors and respects the input of the
Planning Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission. He sees this as something that is
unifying all of us and not just Edwards, up valley and down valley. It is going to put people in a place
where we have community. He stated to those who have a vision for the community and the children
