"Whereas, the noble ideals that became our Nation's constitutional foundation were
formed over two centuries ago in the hears of courageous patriots who risked their lives in the name of
liberty and justice; and
Whereas, in answering the call to defend our ideals, generations of brave Americans have
left home and family to protect our great Nation, some never to return; and
Whereas, nearly 50,000 former prisoners of war live among us, including those held
captive during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, throughout the Cold War era, and
during Operation Desert Storm; and
Whereas, we owe an incalculable debt of gratitude to these brave heroes who displayed
great honor and indomitable wills and who sacrificed so much for our Nation and our Nation's people in
the face of torture and abuse, enduring the loneliness and resisting despair while suffering the
immeasurable loss of human dignity brought on by captivity; and
Whereas, George W. Bush, President of the United Stats of America, has called upon the
people of the United States to remember former American prisoners honoring the memory of their
sacrifices; and
Whereas, the President of the United States of America has issued a proclamation on
April 4, 2002 designating April 9, 2002 as National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day, 2002, and
calling upon local officials to observe April 9, 2002 with appropriate ceremonies.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of
Eagle, State of Colorado:
That, the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners hereby designates April 9, 2002,
as Eagle County Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day and calls upon its citizens to honor these
individuals who sacrifices so much for our Country; and
Further that, the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners remembers and calls
upon the citizens of the County to remember those brave Americans who are still Missing in Action
from all our wars, and to support their families in the quest for release of information concerning their
loved ones.
Moved, read and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Eagle,
State of Colorado, this 9th day of April, 2002."

PDF-00071, Bachelor Gulch Village, Filing No 3, Tract YY
Jena Skinner, Planner, presented file number PDF-00071, Bachelor Gulch Village, Filing No.3,
Tract YY. She stated the intent of this plat is to create both residential lots 112-115 in Tract YY of the
Arrowhead at Vail Planned Unit Development, and easements as shown on the Plat. This development is
located in the Lower Bachelor Gulch Village designation of the Arrowhead at Vail PUD guide (see
attached).
Staff findings are as shown on staff report and as follows:
Pursuant to Section 5-280.B.5.b (3), ofthe Eagle County Land Use Regulations:
a. This final plat DOES conform to the of the approval ofthe Preliminary Plat for subdivision.
b. Required improvements ARE adequate.
c. Areas dedicated for public use and easements ARE acceptable and;
Pursuant to Sections 5-280.B.5 and 5-280.B.3.e. of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations:
(1) Consistent with the Master plan. The proposed subdivision IS consistent with the Eagle
County Master Plan and the Future Land Use Map of the Master Plan. Tract YY is has been previously
approved as part of the Arrowhead at Vail PUD.
(2) Consistent with Land Use Regulations. The proposed subdivision DOES 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 of Article 3, Zone Districts, and Article 4 Site Development
Standards. The uses contemplated as part of this Plat are uses currently allowed as a use by right in the
Arrowhead at Vail PUD.
a. Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. The proposed subdivision IS located and designed to
avoid creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, require
duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
i. Utility and Road Extensions. Proposed utility extensions ARE consistent with the
utility's service plan or shall be required prior County approval of an amendment to the service plan.
Proposed road extensions ARE consistent with the Eagle County Road Capital Improvements Plan.
The roads found in this development are not County roads, but are maintained by Arrowhead The
Road Impact Fees have been paid previously.
ii. Serve Ultimate Population. Utility lines ARE sized to serve the planned ultimate
population of the service area to avoid future land disruption which would occur if under-sized lines had
to be upgraded.

into an otherwise un-served area. This area is currently served by the Arrowhead Metropolitan District,
as well as other utilities.
iv. Suitability for Development. The property proposed to be subdivided IS suitable for
development, considering its topography, environmental resources and natural, or human-made hazards
that may affect the potential development of the property, as well as existing and probable future public
improvements to the area. This area was previously designated for multifamily units until May of 200 1.
The PUD was amended to allow for four single family homes instead (the change was neither due to
topographical nor geographical reasons).
v. Compatible with Surrounding Uses. The proposed subdivision IS compatible with
5
04-09-2002
the character of existing land uses in the area and DOES NOT adversely affect the future development
of the surrounding area. There are single family residential units to the east of this development.
Remaining tracts to the west, north and south, are primarily designated open space and/or recreation
tracts.
Commissioner Menconi moved the Board approve File No. PDF-00071, Bachelor Gulch Village,
Filing No.3, Tract YY, incorporating the findings and authorize the Chairman to sign the Plat and
associated SIA Agreement.

PDP-00022 Woodland Hills PUD Preliminary Plan
ZC-00050, Woodland Hills Zone Change
Jena Skinner, Planner, presented file number PDP-00022 Woodland Hills PUD Preliminary Plan
and ZC-00050, Woodland Hills Zone Change. She stated this matter was tabled from March 26,2002 to
allow the applicant time to go back to those in opposition of the proposal to see if there could be a
compromised reached.
Torn Boni, Knight Planning, stated they met on April 2, 2002 at the Singletree Clubhouse with
various concerned citizens, discussion revolving around density and precedent, site plan and
architectural elements. Concerning density and precedent, the planning for this housing commenced in
summer of 2000. They received sketch plan approval in 2001 with eight conditions. Each land use
application is considered on its own merits. Plans and policies change and whatever plan is in place at
the time of application is the one used. Site plan, the group expressed a desire for more of a townhouse
cluster approach. However, the layout of these buildings achieve the maximum privacy and livability.
David Nudell, applicant, stated when buying a unit individuals prefer an end unit and no shared
walls. He stated they have accomplished those with this style unit. He stated he believes they could not
have a tighter clustering.
Mr. Boni spoke to the two spur roads proposed within the development. He stated they are
agreeable to removing those from the proposal. Architectural elements, comments included a preference
to stick built housing, more architectural details, changing the texture of the buildings and low
maintenance. This product needs to stand up to time. Significant portions of the front and rear of the
buildings will receive stucco and the remaining will be 50 year vinyl siding. A flue chase has been
added in the middle of the front of the building and will be done in stucco.
Chairman Gallagher informed the applicant this was government day and there are students
present for those festivities. He explained to those students the way an application runs through the
process. He stated one of the items that raise opposition from the neighborhood is density and
architecture.
Mr. Nudell explained the changes to the Board. He explained the front, rear and garage side of
the buildings that will be stucco. He stated they have done what they can do to keep the maintenance
costs down and to make the building look better. He stated it was a surprise to most in attendance at the
meeting that the garage was 30 feet deep which has the capability to house recreation type vehicles.
Mr. Boni stated May 29th was the last time the Board reviewed the sketch plan. He stated at the
conclusion of that meeting there were 8 conditions. He reviewed those conditions as follows:
1. Except as otherwise modified by these conditions, all material representations of the Applicant

Mr. Boni stated they incorporated the conditions of sketch plan into the PUD document. He
7
04-09-2002
continued to show slides of the proposal. The housing plan recommends housing be located in, adjacent
to or in close proximity to a community center. In summary, what Woodland Hills represents is a
private sector response to the need for affordable housing. The project is within the area that the Future
Land Use Map identifies as community center.
Terrill Knight, Knight Planning, stated from the start they have worked closely with staff and
with the Master Plan and have worked with the neighbors. He stated they cannot meet everyone's goals
and ideas. They have recreational amenities and space between the units.
Commissioner Stone asked what is proposed to be done for fire protection/suppression and what
prompts a sprinkler system.
Mr. Boni stated they met with Carol Molson and Dan Stanek concerning fire safety. He stated
they met the code requirements to not have sprinklers. He stated they bermed around the buildings. He
stated they have made the building two stories on three sides. He stated there will be hydrants placed in
certain locations as per Ms. Molson.
Commissioner Stone asked what triggers the need for sprinklers.
Chairman Gallagher stated it is a combination of square footage and water availability.
Ms. Skinner stated sprinklers are determined by height and square footage and this project is not
large enough.
Commissioner Stone commented that both parties did the best they could to corne to terms with
this proposal. He stated he found the letters submitted to be very civil and they responded that it is not
good enough to be against something but to be for something in its place. He stated one of the concerns
was density and that has not changed. The applicant has related this would not be a feasible project with
less density.
Mr. Boni stated the other change was the Spur Roads being removed. He stated another concern
was recreation. They are meeting the requirements of the Land Use Regulations. He stated removal of
the spur roads opens up additional recreational space.
Commissioner Menconi asked if staff could summarize the points that led them to vote
unanimously to approve this project. He asked the comments only relate to density.
Bob Narracci, Planning Manager, stated the Planning Commission felt the density was beyond
discussion. In making their decision they indicated they wished it was less dense but that the need for
affordable housing out weighed the density issue. Other comments concerned the Highway 6 corridor.
Commissioner Menconi asked about phasing of the 1 bedroom units.
Mr. Nudell stated he plans on building the one bedroom units last as they are a break even or a
loss part of the project.
Commissioner Menconi asked about absorption of the units.
Mr. Nudell stated he believes they will be absorbed as soon as they are built. He stated he has
received reservations on 16 of the units. He stated the reservation fee is $500.00, then a financing
contingency period.
Commissioner Menconi asked if there has been any problems with waiting for two years for a
one bedroom unit.
Mr. Nudell stated no one has had a problem with waiting two years for a one bedroom unit.
Commissioner Menconi asked about the design of a building.
Mr. Narracci stated the current Land Use Regulations do not have minimum requirements
regarding architecture.
Commissioner Menconi asked if a file has been denied due to design.
Mr. Narracci answered in Jefferson County, which do have design guidelines.
Ms. Skinner stated the designation on the FLUM is community center and the property is located
within that area. This is an appropriate site for affordable housing. Woodland Hills is 100%
developable, with cluster and PUD's being preferred. Woodland Hills does not fall into any plan for
8
04-09-2002
open space on the Eagle County Open Space Plan. Going through the Edwards Sub Area Master Plan,
they reviewed several items and this plan meets the majority ofthose sections. "The area should be
developed as a focal point for local development with thoughts of becoming a Town. Openness, 25%
shall be open space, Lake Creek and Squaw Creek Valley should be kept rural. The theme should be
recreation oriented, development should blend with the area and colors should be muted. Local
residents have requested several deed restrictions. Considering development intensity, the area is on the
FLUM and the plan defines rural, community focus and speaks to transportation corridors. Ms. Skinner
stated a majority of land appears to be un-developable. There are topographical constraints and the area
should be clustered. The proposal is multi-family housing.
Commissioner Menconi asked if Ms. Skinner read the letters received since the last meeting. It
appears there is still an objection to the project.
Ms. Skinner spoke to compatibility and related visually this project would be compatible with
the surrounding area.
Commissioner Menconi stated staff is looking at this plan in a visual manner.
Ms. Skinner stated directly across the street are older homes, the mobile home park, Lake Creek
Village Apartments and Brett Ranch.
Commissioner Stone stated he considered this file very seriously and stated he cannot in good
conscious approve this application. He stated he does not believe this project complies with smart
growth. He stated this is not a personal comment, the applicants heart is in the right place, Knight
Planning has represented the client well. He reviewed comments from the most recent letters from area
residents and opponents of this proposal. He stated the comments he highlighted are the reasons he
cannot approve this application. He stated he would like to see something that families will utilize and
kids have a place to play. He stated they heard a group this morning asking for support with open space.
Where the County has been remiss is requiring parks and open space. He stated they also have not
zoned property for church's. He believes the best use of this land would be for churches, day cares, etc.
He stated he does not want the Board to create side by side housing areas with no open space. The
Board needs to maintain the integrity of the community and yet meets the needs of Eagle County. He
stated he would like to see single story modular homes where you could own the land and the building.
Commissioner Menconi stated he supports the direction the applicant is taking with the project.
He stated he looks to staff and finds a better and deeper understanding of Edwards. Visual compatibility
is a component of what is important for this area. He stated he is in favor of elongated circles along
transportation corridors. He stated people are looking for opportunity for more attainable housing in
Eagle County. He questions the true quality oflife in Eagle County. He stated jobs are an important
facet of life. Eagle County is the best place to live. But you have to be able to live where you work. He
stated this site should be set aside for this type development. He stated a lot of the building that is going
to take place is for second home owners. The County does not invest in those areas for permanent
residents. He stated he has listened to staff and the Planning Commission. He stated the other projects
are denser. He stated 10 units per acre in this location works for what the Master Plan calls for and what
is best for Eagle County. He spoke to the domino effect, stating the concern for the domino effect is not
for the neighboring project but rather with the Heritage project. He stated he is in favor of the proposal.
Commissioner Stone stated he envisioned something like Chatfield Comers in Gypsum, where
the buyers would buy their property and put a modular on it.
Chairman Gallagher stated he concurred with both Commissioner Stone and Commissioner
Menconi. He stated around the middle of June the Edwards Master Plan should be done. He stated they
are also exclusionary zoning and linkage for housing. Any project corning along, 30% of that would
have to be affordable. If they were not in the middle of the Master Plan for Edwards he would vote for
this project, however they are so close to completing that plan he would prefer to not approve this
project until after that plan is completed. He stated he cannot say that this is a good project or a bad one.

04-09-2002
John Vengrin, Engineering Department, stated the two Spur Roads currently shown in the plan
cannot be eliminated as it would not be in conformance with the Edwards Access Control Plan. He
stated there are two lots to the east of the trailer park and to the west there are four lots.
Commissioner Stone asked about combining access for all the properties.
Mr. Vengrin answered that is the plan. He stated the properties to the west were slated to be in
this area and it is designated combined access.
Chairman Gallagher asked about the access plan and if it envisions one access for all those lots.
Mr. Vengrin answered yes.
Commissioner Gallagher stated in an earlier hearing the applicant spoke to a frontage road but
referred to a mid lot access.
Mr. Vengrin stated the frontage road would be too close to Highway 6.
Commissioner Stone asked if they do combine the traffic from the adjacent traffic on both sides
it would mean a lot more traffic through the Woodland Hills Project. He is concerned with that much
additional traffic.
Mr. Vengrin stated if it is 750 cars per day or less it is a residential street, more that 750 cars per
day is a collector road.
Commissioner Stone asked if the two adjacent properties were developed would the roads be
adequate for all the traffic.
Mr. Vengrin stated not as a residential street but it would as a collector road. He stated they
would most likely look into another access onto Highway 6.
Chairman Gallagher asked about trips per residence.
Mr. Vengrin stated six per day per residence.
Commissioner Menconi asked about the wetlands and if they could be built on.
Mr. Vengrin stated that area is what is commonly referred to as Lake Edwards, which is open
space for Brett Ranch.
Commissioner Stone spoke to the lots next to the river and large setbacks. He stated he will not
as a Commissioner, allow anyone to build close to the River.
Mr. Knight stated it is good community planning to make connections and leaving in the spur
roads would be good planning. He stated they agreed to take those roads out for the residents who were
concerned about them but he prefers leaving them in. He stated they would like to analyze the new
information and requested a two week tabling. He stated the will corne back to the Board with a final
request.
Chairman Gallagher asked if that gives them enough time to review the plans in process.
Mr. Knight stated they are not asking to wait until the Edwards Master Plan is completed.
Commissioner Stone moved to table file numbers PDP-00022 and ZC-0050, Woodland Hills, to
April 23rd, 2002.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
