Mr. Roeper presented Resolution 2003-156 adopting of the 2004 budget. The total amount of all
funds of$79,518,998.00. He highlighted portions of the budget for the Board as follows. He stated the
General Fund is set at $27,196,866.00.
Mr. Ingstad stated this budget does reduce staffby 5 employees. The proposed budget is $10.3
million dollars less in spending than they believe this year will end. That is related to a number of
factors. They are a little ahead in matching revenues. They see an Airport runway coming in the next
few years that will cost $20 million. If they look at the ending match, they are a couple of million
dollars ahead ofthe game. He stated there was a $1,980,000 addition in the revenue stream this year
because of fund transfers. It is a one time transfer. The Board gave direction to totally fund the health
insurance benefits. Employee merit increases are fully funded. The $100.00 employee incentive also
remains in the budget along with the County picnic. The management retreat has been removed.
Capital budget anticipates $3.8 million in spending. Those projects are the fire suppression vehicle for
Sheriff, a transfer of monies to the trails fund for trails from Avon to Dowd Junction, the Berry Creek
pond is funded at $600,000. He stated he had questions on the integrated county wide computer
dispatch system of $235,000 and stated he heard that may be put on hold. Cooley Mesa Road design
costs of $275,000 go back into the budget. The Basalt Road & Bridge Shop gets designed next year for
$125,000, the Water Shed Plan at Black Gore Creek gets funded at $106,000, Information Technologies
gets upgraded technology, the Sheriffs mobile command gets funded because of a grant, County
building improvements get funded and the Sheriff s mobile in-car computer system gets funded. He
asked for guidance from the Board on the County wide dispatch system.
Chairman Gallagher stated he would be able to give better guidance after a meeting he has
scheduled this week.
16
12-09-03
Commissioner Stone stated when this was discussed, they never could figure out the entire plan.
Records management was a part of it.
Chairman Gallagher stated there was also an integrated records sharing program
Commissioner Menconi stated he is in support ofthis project. He stated many ofthe capital
proj ects they are looking at is what is going to come up in the near future.
Mr. Ingstad stated Mr. Roeper has listed a number of items in the Resolution, and would like to
keep the East Vail repeater site, Weed and Pest pesticide containment, pedestrian improvements,
Fairgrounds west access, Basalt Recycle Center, Eagle River Diversion project, road initiatives, West
Vail Fire Station, Edwards Spur Road construction materials and recycle station at the Landfill. He
stated not all of which will be funded. He spoke to the summer flight program. He stated it is his intent
to move monies from this year to next year. They have hired Kent Meyers as a consultant again.
Chairman Gallagher asked for public comment. There was none. He closed public comment.
Commissioner Stone stated there were a couple of other major items they had spoken about.
Mr. Ingstad stated one was daycare which has $1 million allocated for it. Whatever the dollar
amount that is needed this year will be used and the rest released unless they are instructed to hold over
the remainder of the monies.
Commissioner Stone asked about records management system.
Mr. Roeper stated it was a separate issue.
Chairman Gallagher stated the Clerk's Office and Sheriffs Office both have been requesting
records management
Mr. Ingstad stated he gave the Clerk & Recorder preliminary approval with the initiative with
records management and storage. He stated Ms. Simonton asked for approval and he tentatively gave
approval on Board direction that this problem needs to be solved. He stated they are being more
positive with the revenue projections next year than they have been in the past. He stated collections
were down about 1'2 percent last September. He stated that concerns him being that Home Depot and
Super Wal-Mart have opened. Avon is showing a huge increase in sales tax revenue from the County
collection standpoint but they are not seeing that County wide. Those box businesses may be pulling
monies away from the smaller businesses. It is too early to tell. The airport travel looks very good.
They are getting other indicators that things look good. He stated he spoke to the Vail Daily concerning
financial conditions and they have seen an increase from the community in advertising.
Commissioner Stone stated he would like to place special attention to the health benefits. He
stated the cost to the County went up 46% last year and the employees did not have to bear any of those
costs. They must figure out how to keep people healthy and save money. The Commissioners do have a
commitment to the employee. The Healthcare Task Force is something that will help.
Mr. Roeper asked if the Board wants to deduct the $235,000.00 from the budget.
Mr. Ingstad stated those funds will not be released until the Board approves the expenditure.
Commissioner Stone moved to approve Resolution 2003-156 Adopting the budget and making
appropriations for fiscal year 2004.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Resolution 2003-157, Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate Program
Resolution 2003-158, Mortgage Credit Certificate Election
David Carter, Housing, presented Resolution 2003-157, authorizing participation in a Regional
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program and delegating authority to issue such certificates to Eagle County.
He explained the program to the Board. He stated the State has unexpected surplus and have invited
this region to apply for those funds. He stated the Board will recall that Eagle County has had three
Mortgage Certificates in the past. They currently have some funds left. Qualified home buyers are
allowed to take a 20% credit towards their federal taxes. This then frees up monies to make their
mortgage payment. He stated over the years they have put together a total of $80,000,000.00.
17
12-09-03
Chairman Gallagher stated it is amazing the State can find $20 million dollars to apply to this
program.
Mr. Ingstad asked if the other Counties do not use their funds that money could be assigned to
Eagle County.
Mr. Carter stated that is tentatively correct. He stated Garfield and Summit County approved the
Intergovernmental Agreement. He stated he also understood that Grand County approved the
Agreement this morning.
Mr. Ingstad asked if the other Counties do not use their full allocation could those be allocated to
the rest of the Counties.
Mr. Carter stated that was correct.
Commissioner Menconi moved to approve Resolution 2003-157, authorizing participation in a
Regional Mortgage Credit Certificate Program and delegating authority to issue such certificates to
Eagle County.

Abatement Hearings
Jon Harrison, Appraisal Coordinator, presented a petition for abatement for Colorado Mountain
News Media, Schedule No. P026637. He stated due to an error made by the taxpayer in reporting
personal property for the year 2002, items were reported by the taxpayer and also the leasing company
causing a double assessment. Pursuant to Colorado Revised Statute 39-10-104.5, taxes illegally or
erroneously levied shall be refunded. The Assessor stated the original assessed value was $1,833,640.00
with a tax amount of$108,789.88, with an abatement of$I,098,ll0 and a tax amount of$65,150.88,
leaving a balance of$735,530 assessed value with a tax amount of$43,639.00.
Jon Harrison presented a petition for abatement for Australian Capital Equity USA, Schedule
No. R046453. He stated review ofthe property and sales in the area revealed the property was over
valued. Pursuant to CRS 30-10-114, this abatement should be granted for overvaluation. The original
assessed value was $598,430 with a tax amount of$41,910.44, with an abatement of$193,190 and a tax
amount of$13,529.86, leaving a balance of$405,240 with a tax amount of$28,380.58.

Jon Harrison presented a petition of abatement for Larry and Sandra Britt, schedule number
R045273. He stated an interior inspection of the property found that the square footage was incorrectly
calculated. Corrections were made to the record resulting in a lower value. The new value can be
supported by comparable sales. Pursuant to CRS 39-10-114, this abatement should be approved in part
due to erroneous valuation for assessment. For 2002, the original assessed value was $29,790 with a tax
amount of$3,015.00, with an abatement of$250.00 and a tax amount of$25.32, leaving a balance of

PDF-00081 Arrowhead at Vail Filing 27
Jena Skinner-Markowitz, Planner, presented file number PDF-00081, Arrowhead at Vail, Filing
27. She stated the intent of this plat is to: subdivide Parcel A-I into one single family lot and common
area; subdivide Parcel C-2 into four single family lots and four common areas; create a 15 foot drainage
easement within Lot 13 and 14; subdivide Parcel D-l into two single family lots and one common area;
adjust the lot line between Lot 13 and Tract E; create an access and utility easement.
Pursuant to Section 5-280.B.5.b (3), of the Eagle County Land Use Regulations:
(1) This final plat DOES conform to the approved Preliminary Plan for subdivision.
(2) Required improvements ARE adequate.
(3) Areas dedicated for public use and easements ARE acceptable and;
Pursuant to Sections 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.
(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.
(3) Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. The proposed subdivision IS located and designed to
avoid creating spatial patterns that cause inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, require
duplication or premature extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
The intent of th is plat is to further subdivide a previously subdivided portion of Arrowhead.
a. 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.
b. 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.
19
12-09-03
c. Coordinate Utility Extensions. 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. This area IS presently served by the Arrowhead Metropolitan District,
as well as other utilities.
d. 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.
e. Compatible with Surrounding Uses. The proposed subdivision IS compatible with the
character of existing land uses in the area and DOES NOT adversely affect the future development of
the surrounding area. This plat is the third plat for Arrowhead at Vail Filing 27. Filing 27 was
originally platted April 2001. All development for the current plat, PDF-00078, was contemplated
previously on plats PDF-00057, PDF-00073, as well as in the Arrowhead PUD Guide.
Chairman Gallagher asked for public comment. There was none. He closed public comment.
Commissioner Stone moved the Board approve File No. PDF-00081 incorporating the findings
and authorize the Chairman to sign the Plat.
Commissioner Menconi seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
PDA-00046 Riverwalk at Edwards PUD Amendment
Jena Skinner-Markowitz presented file number PDA-00046, Riverwalk at Edwards PUD
Amendment. The applicant wishes to amend the Riverwalk at Edwards PUD Guide. The purpose of the
amendment is as follows:
To increase the amount of "Flexible Space" in Riverwalk, by decreasing the amount ofthe fixed
Commercial Space floor area allotment (see attached Exhibit B). Flexible Space permits the developer
to choose whether commercial, residential or fraction fee ownership uses are best suited for a particular
location in the development, thereby better satisfying market demand. Floor area, building height and
all previously approved permitted uses will remain the same; the developer must still comply with all
applicable landscaping and parking requirements.
At this time approximately 1,786 sq. ft. ofthe 28,000 currently allocated Flexible Space has been
utilized for employee housing purposes and 17,499 has been utilized for free-market residential housing.
In the event that all ofthe square footage being transferred from the 'Commercial' category to the
'Flexible Space' category is actually constructed as commercial space, there will still not be a net gain in
the total amount of commercial square footage.
To amend the square footages as written in Section IILB Land Use Table (see attached Exhibit
B). Please note that the square footages are also to be amended in Section VIII Lot Coverage (of the
PUD Guide) so that the total mix of square footage designations will be consistent throughout the PUD
Guide.
To remove the current Flexible Space bullet which reads, "4,000 sq ft (which may be devoted to
commercial, Fractional Fee Estate, and/or residential space, and if commercial with a corresponding
increase in employee housing spaces)." The development already includes 173 employee-housing
spaces, which is 23 spaces more than the developer was originally required to provide.
The re-introduction of the Gross Floor Area illustration (see attached Exhibit C), which was
inadvertently left out ofthe last PUD Guide amendment recorded April 13, 2000.
The chronology of the application is as follows and as shown on staff report:
1992- Riverwa1k PUD Sketch Plan was approved.
1993- Riverwalk PUD Preliminary Plan and Zone Change was approved.
1994-2000- Several PUD Amendments and PUD Final Plats were approved (Riverwalk has
been platted in phases).
2003- Application for the current PUD Amendment was made.
20
12-09-03
The Planning Commission had no issues with the proposed application. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of this proposal.
Referral responses are as shown on staff report and as follows:
Colorado Department of Transportation, dated October 9th, 2003
Access should be addressed by the US 6 Corridor Study dated 2003.
Eagle County Housing Division, dated October 29th, 2003
They have no objection to changing the allocation of square feet for commercial and residential
uses to "flexible" as long as the words, "... with a corresponding use (increase) in employee housing
spaces. . ." remains.
We recommend that these words be inserted as a condition of approval per Sections IlLB and
VIlLA.
In examining the original PUD, it appears that approximately 18% of the total square footage
was dedicated to employee housing. It is our recommendation that the square footage dedicated to
employee housing remain consistent with the original PUD.
Additional Referrals were sent to the following, with no response:
Eagle County Attorney, Environmental Health, Engineering, Sheriff and Assessor
Homestead, River Pines and South Forty Homeowners Associations
Applicable Fire and Metro Districts

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 for other infrastructure needs.
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.
Riverwalk has already incorporated employee housing as part of the original approvals. With the
Flexible Space alteration in Section IILB.Land Use Table, a potential increase in employee housing
units available may be realized. In any event, the developer has currently exceeded their minimum
employee-housing obligation.
[+] FINDING: Consistent with Master Plan. The proposed Special Use Permit CAN be shown
to be appropriate for its proposed location and be consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and
policies of the Master Plan and Master Plan FLUM, including standards for building and structural
intensities and densities, and intensities of use.
STANDARD: Phasing [Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)] - The Preliminary Plan for PUD shall
include a phasing plan for the development. If development of the PUD is proposed to occur in phases,
then guarantees shall be provided for public improvements and amenities that are necessary and
desirable for residents of the project, or that are of benefit to the entire County. Such public
improvements shall be constructed with the first phase of the project, or, if this is not possible, then as
early in the project as is reasonable.
Not applicable and/or necessary with this proposal.
[+] FINDING: Phasing Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)
A phasing plan IS NOT necessary for this development at this time.

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.
(b) Areas that Do Not Count as Open Space. Parking and loading areas, street right-ofways,
and areas with slopes greater than thirty (30) percent shall not count toward usable open space.
(c) Areas that Count as Open Space. Water bodies, lands within critical wildlife habitat areas,
riparian areas, and one hundred (100) year floodplains, 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.
(d) Improvements Required. All common open space and recreational facilities shall be shown
on the Preliminary Plan for PUD and shall be constructed and fully improved according to the
development schedule established for each development phase of the PUD.
(e) Continuing Use and Maintenance. All privately owned common open space shall continue
to conform to its intended use, as specified on the Preliminary Plan for PUD. To ensure that all the
common open space identified in the PUD will be used as common open space, restrictions and/or
covenants shall be placed in each deed to ensure their maintenance and to prohibit the division of any
common open space.
(/) Organization. If common open space is proposed to be maintained through an association or
nonprofit corporation, such organization shall manage all common open space and recreational and
cultural facilities that are not dedicated to the public, and shall provide for the maintenance,
administration and operation of such land and any other land within the PUD not publicly owned, and
secure adequate liability insurance on the land. The association or nonprofit corporation shall be
established prior to the sale of any lots or units within the PUD. Membership in the association or
nonprofit corporation shall be mandatory for all landowners within the PUD.
The open space requirement previously approved with this development will not be affected by
this amendment.
[+] FINDING: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)]

280.B.3.e (2)J The Applicant HAS fully 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)] B 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.
(1) 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 Eae:le County Road Capital Improvements
Plan.

(2) 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.
(3) 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.
This development has already been assessed for efficiency as part of the original approval for the
Riverwalk at Edwards PUD.
[+] FINDING: Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (3)]
The proposed subdivision IS located and designed to avoid creating spatial patterns that cause
inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or require duplication or premature extension of public
facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
STANDARD: Suitability for Development. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (4)] B The property proposed
to be subdivided shall be suitable for development, considering its topography, environmental resources
and natural or human-made hazards that may affect the potential development of the property, and
existing and probable future public improvements to the area.
This property is suitable for development; very little remains to be developed.
[+] FINDING: Suitability for Development. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (4)]
The property 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, and existing and probable future public improvements to the area.
STANDARD: Compatible with Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (5)] B The proposed
subdivision shall be compatible with the character of existing land uses in the area and shall not
adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area.
See previous discussion.
[+] FINDING: Compatible With Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (5)]
The proposed subdivision IS compatible with the character of existing land uses in the area and
SHALL NOT adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area.
The proposed changes to the PUD guide will not result in any undue impacts and will not
adversely alter the character of the area. Further traffic analyses may become necessary as additional
uses are implemented.
Amendment to Preliminary Plan for PUD. No substantial modification, removal, or release of
the provisions of the plan shall be permitted except upon a finding by the County, following a public
hearing called and held in accordance with the provisions of section 24-67-104(1 )( e) Colorado Revised
Statutes that;
(1) Modification. The modification, removal, or release is consistent with the efficient
development and preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development; (am 3/12/02)
(2) Adjacent Properties. The PUD Amendment does not effect, in a substantially adverse
manner, either the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across a street from the Planned Unit
Development or the public interest;
(3) Benefit. The PUD Amendment is not granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any
person.
The application has been submitted by the developer, who is directly affiliated with the
Homeowners Association for Riverwalk. It's the developer's contention that this amendment will create
a more efficient PUD in terms of being able to respond with current development trends.
Chairman Gallagher asked about the 28,000 square feet of flexible space as a percentage of the
total space.
Ms. Skinner-Markowitz stated the applicant has a maximum of 356,000 square feet. Ofthat
amount 28,000 square feet is flexible space.
Terrill Knight, Knight Planning, was present representing the applicant. He introduced Debbie
Cristner, applicant. He stated they started this process 12 years ago. As they near the end they are
28
12-09-03
requesting this flexibility. This is not a subsequent change to the original approval, the square footage
stays the same, employee units remain the same and parking remains the same. The diagram was based
on Eagle County Regulations, but as this is a PUD it was put in the PUD Guide as slightly different.
This site was previously a gravel pit. Building height was a concern. This was a way to deal with that
and still meet the gravel pit holes. Yes someone could live in the shaded area if they would meet the
requirements. Currently it is only parking and storage. This has been a key element in the Edwards
community. It has a wide variety of purposes. This does give a little flexibility and still meets the code.
The building has fulfilled its original commitment. This is an improvement and will allow them to
fulfill their original commitment.
Chairman Gallagher asked for public comment. There was none. He closed public comment.
Commissioner Menconi it appears they are trading out 50,000 square feet of commercial space
and defining it as flex space. It then allows the ability to define it as, commercial, residential or
fractional ownership.
Mr. Knight stated that was correct.
Debbie Cristner, Eagle II Developers, stated if they would have to use just commercial they
would have to have taller buildings. She stated residential would be a better use.
Commissioner Menconi stated it appears the market is saying residential would be a better use.
Ms. Cristner stated that was correct.
Commissioner Menconi asked about the diagram and if they are speaking to Tract A.
Ms. Cristner stated the remaining portion of Track A is being divided into two more lots and two
more buildings.
Commissioner Menconi spoke to the changes stating it appears there are two lot coverage's.
Ms. Cristner stated they are limiting it to two buildings but could put five buildings.
Commissioner Menconi stated there are two changes being requested, each roughly 50,000
square feet.
Ms. Skinner-Markowitz stated it is close to the same number just listed in two different spots.
Commissioner Menconi spoke to the 173 employee housing units and questioned if that was for
the entire development.
Ms. Cristner answered yes and related there were to be 150 units and they ended up with 173.
Commissioner Menconi asked about non employee housing units.
Ms. Cristner stated there are currently 36.
Commissioner Menconi asked how they define employee housing.
Ms. Cristner stated there is a deed restriction on who can occupy the units.
Mr. Knight explained it requires to be first offered to the employees of the development, then to
employees of the County, and lastly to anyone.
Commissioner Menconi asked about resale and it would first have to be offered to an employee
of the Riverwalk area.
Mr. Knight stated that is correct and it is monitored by the County Housing Department.
Chairman Gallagher asked if there are restrictions for salary, resale, etc.
Ms. Cristner answered no.
Commissioner Menconi stated the applicants have related they will build one or several
buildings that will have a total of380,000 square feet and the projection is that 210,000 square feet will
be commercial and the remainder will be flex space.
Ms. Cristner stated that was correct.
Commissioner Menconi asked if they are looking at employee house.
Ms. Cristner stated the remaining buildings would all have to be commercial. They would like to
reallocate some of the commercial into residential. It will not be employee housing.
Commissioner Menconi asked what will be built.
Ms. Cristner stated they are planning loft units of 1,200 square feet to 1,600 square feet.
Commissioner Menconi asked about the market.
29
12-09-03
Ms. Cristner stated these units will have higher end finishes.
Chairman Gallagher asked if the PUD Amendment limits itself to Tract A or is it throughout the
development.
Mr. Knight stated the purpose of the amendment was to make a permanent change. When built,
if someone wanted to make a substantial change they would have to come back to the Board.
Commissioner Menconi asked ifthere are complaints about parking being a problem.
Ms. Christener stated she believes this proposal will help the parking because it will be spread
out. Offices use more parking but normally only in the daytime.
Mr. Knight stated they have also heard the same comments. There has always been excess
parking just not right in front of the buildings.
Commissioner Menconi moved the Board of County Commissioners approve file PDA-00046,
Riverwalk at Edwards PUD Amendment, incorporating all Staff findings.
Commissioner Stone seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
PDA-00047 Edwards Medical/Shaw Regional Cancer Center
Joe Forinash, Planner, presented file number PDA-00047, Edwards Medical/Shaw Regional
Cancer Center. He stated the Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. The
Planning Commission expressed appreciation of the value of the Shaw Regional Cancer Center and its
contribution to a more diverse economy. Note: The conditions of approval recommended by the
Planning Commission differ from those recommended by Staff. See "Recommended Motion" below.
The Planning Commission deliberations are as follows:
Operational hours ofthe Shaw Center.
How sign will be illuminated; whether wattage can be varied.
How much value the sign would be for people trying to find the Shaw Center; whether
illuminated sign is best way to direct people to Shaw Center.
Proposed timing of illumination of the sign; whether it is needed at all.
Sign is tasteful and would not represent an unfavorable precedent.
Mr. Forinash stated this was a PUD amendment that would amend the PUD Guide to allow an
additional sign (60 feet long and 2.5 feet high) on the south facing side of the Shaw Regional Cancer
Building.
The chronology of the application is as shown on staff report and as follows:
1995 - PUD Preliminary Plan and zone change approved.
1996 - Final plat approved.
1997 - PUD amendment approved which revised the approved site design and phasing plan, and
re-named the development from Eagle Valley Health Center to Edwards Medical Center.
1999 - PUD amendment approved which revised the approved site design, increased the
maximum building height, added certain allowed uses, and revised the manner in which the employee
housing requirement is to be satisfied.

Staff findings are as follows:
Pursuant to Eagle County Land Use Regulations Section 5-240.F.3.e Standards for the
review of a PUD Preliminary Plan:
30
12-09-03
STANDARD: Unified ownership or control. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (1)] - The title to all land
that is part of a PUD shall be owned or controlled by one (1) person. A person shall be considered to
control all lands in the PUD either through ownership or by written consent of all owners of the land
that they will be subject to the conditions and standards of the PUD.
The Applicant has demonstrated that it is the sole owner of the site of the Edwards Medical
Center PUD.
[+] FINDING: Unified ownership or control. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (1)]
The title to all land that is part ofthis PUD IS owned or controlled by one (1) person
STANDARD: Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (2)] - The uses that may be developed in the PUD
shall be those uses that are designated as uses that are allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as
a limited use in Table 3-300, "Residential, Agricultural and Resource Zone Districts Use Schedule", or
Table 3-320, "Commercial and Industrial Zone Districts Use Schedule", for the zone district designation
in effect for the property at the time of the application for PUD. Variations of these use designations
may only be authorized pursuant to Section 5-240 F.3j, Variations Authorized.
It has previously been demonstrated when the PUD Preliminary Plan was approved and amended
that the approved uses are either allowed uses, or appropriate variations have been granted.
[+] FINDING: Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (2)]
All of the proposed additional uses that may be developed in the PUD ARE uses that are
designated as uses that are allowed, allowed as a special use or allowed as a limited use in the Planned
Unit Development Guide in effect for the property at the time of the application for the PUD
Amendment.
STANDARD: Dimensional Limitations. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (3)] - The dimensional
limitations that shall apply to the PUD shall be those specified in Table 3-340, "Schedule of
Dimensional Limitations", for the zone district designation in effect for the property at the time of the
application for P UD. Variations of these dimensional limitations may only be authorized pursuant to
Section 5-240 F.3j, Variations Authorized. provided variations shall leave adequate distance between
buildings for necessary access and fire protection, and ensure proper ventilation, light, air and
snowmelt between buildings.
No changes in dimensional limitations are proposed as part of this PUD Amendment.
[+] FINDING: Dimensional Limitations. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (3)]
The dimensional limitations that shall apply to the PUD ARE those specified in the Planned Unit
Development Guide in effect for the property at the time of the application for the PUD Amendment.
STANDARD: Off-Street Parking and Loading. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (4)] - Off-street parking
and loading provided in the PUD shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street
Parking and Loading Standards. A reduction in these standards may be authorized where the applicant
demonstrates that:
(a) Shared Parking. Because of shared parking arrangements among uses within the PUD that
do not require peak parking for those uses to occur at the same time, the parking needs of residents,
guests and employees of the project will be met; or
(b) Actual Needs. The actual needs of the project's residents, guests and employees will be
less than those set by Article 4, Division 1, Off-Street Parking and Loading Standards. The
applicant may commit to provide specialized transportation services for these persons (such as vans,
subsidized bus passes, or similar services) as a means of complying with this standard.
No changes in parking either required or provided are proposed.
[+] FINDING: Off-Street Parking and Loading. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (4)]
It HAS previously been found at the time that the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved
that adequate, safe and convenient parking and loading was being provided.
STANDARD: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)] - Landscaping provided in the PUD
shall comply with the standards of Article 4, Division 2, Landscapinf! and Illumination Standards.
31
12-09-03
.
Variations from these standards may be authorized where the applicant demonstrates that the proposed
landscaping provides sufficient buffering of uses from each other (both within the PUD and between the
PUD and surrounding uses) to minimize noise, glare and other adverse impacts, creates attractive
streetscapes and parking areas and is consistent with the character of the area.
No additional landscaping is necessary or proposed.
[+] FINDING: Landscaping. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (5)]
Landscaping provided in the approved PUD Preliminary Plan HAS been determined to have
complied with the standards in effect at the time the Preliminary Plan was approved.
STANDARD: Signs. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (6)] - The sign standards applicable to the PUD
shall be as specified in Article 4, Division 3, Sign Regulations. unless, as provided in Section 4-340 D.,
Signs Allowed in a Planned Unit Develovment (PUD), the applicant submits a comprehensive sign plan
for the PUD that is determined to be suitable for the PUD and provides the minimum sign area
necessary to direct users to and within the PUD.
The Sign Regulations provide in Section 4-330.E.3., Signs Without Backing, that the "area of all
signs without backing. . . shall be measured by determining the sum of the areas of each square,
rectangle, triangle, portion of a circle or any combination thereof that creates the smallest single
contiguous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits of each word, written representation (including any
series of letters), emblems or figures of similar character."
Based on this provision of the Sign Regulations and the information provided as part of this
application, Staff calculates that the area of the sign is approximately 1 02.5 square feet. Pursuant to the
Land Use Regulations, the maximum size of a business sign permitted on any street frontage is 64
square feet.
The proposed sign is intended to "serve as directional and identification of the building
location". Building identification and directional signs are currently provided north ofthe building along
Beard Creek Road near the access to the site. While business signs facing Interstate 70 are permitted in
other areas of unincorporated Eagle County (e.g., the Eagle-Vail commercial area), those signs are easily
visible from 1-70. Visibility ofthe proposed sign from 1-70 would be limited due to the close proximity
ofthe building to the 1-70 right-of-way and the height ofthe building above the 1-70 roadway. The sign
would be visible primarily from across the valley in other parts of Edwards. Staff questions the utility of
such a sign for directional purposes, and the desirability of an identification sign that exceeds the
standards applicable in the traditional zone districts.
An additional purpose of the proposed sign is to "recognize the extremely generous donation
given by Mr. and Mrs. Shaw." While this purpose is laudable, alternative means of recognizing the
donors' generosity are available.
As proposed, the sign is not suitable for the PUD and does not provide the minimum sign area
necessary to direct people to and within the PUD. Further, the precedent of allowing a particularly large,
illuminated sign, visible throughout this part of the valley, may prove to be problematic to the extent that
other enterprises might seek similar identification of their locations.
However, a sign which meets the maximum size requirements for traditional zone districts might
be appropriate. As a condition of approval, the size ofthe Major Identification Sign should be limited to
64 square feet, as provided in Section 4-340.C.I., Individual Business Signs.
At the same time, illumination of a sign which is visible across such a large portion of the
adj acent valley may not be appropriate. As a further condition of approval, illumination of the Major
Identification Sign should be prohibited from 11:00 P.M. until the following day, unless for a special
event.
[+] FINDING: Signs. [Section 5-240.F.3.e(6)]
With the recommended conditions, the sign standards applicable to the PUD ARE as specified in
Article 4, Division 3, Sign Regulations, and in the PUD Control Document currently in effect for
Edwards Medical Center PUD. Further, the proposed amendment to the comprehensive sign plan for the
32
12-09-03
PUD IS suitable for the PUD and DOES provide the minimum sign area necessary to direct users to and
within the PUD.
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 and fire protection, and emergency
medical services.
At the time the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was determined that
adequate facilities were to be provided. The proposed PUD Amendment will not have an adverse
effect on the adequacy of facilities for potable water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal,
or electrical supply, nor will it affect the location in relation to schools, and police protection.
[+] FINDING: Adequate Facilities. (Section 5-240.F.3.e (7)]
It HAS previously been determined that adequate facilities were to be provided based on the
Land Use Regulations in effect at the time of approval of the Preliminary Plan for the PUD. The
proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect the provision of adequate facilities for potable
water supply, sewage disposal, solid waste disposal, and 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-of-way, private vehicular or pedestrian way or a commonly owned easement. No
roadway alignment, either horizontal or vertical, shall be allowed that compromises one (1) or more of
the minimum design standards of the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) for
that functional classification of roadway.
(b) Internal Pathways. Internal pathways shall be provided to form a logical, safe and
convenient system for pedestrian access to dwelling units and common areas, with appropriate linkages
off-site.
(c) Emergency Vehicles. Roadways shall be designed to permit access by emergency vehicles to
all lots or units. An access easement shall be granted for emergency vehicles and utility vehicles, as
applicable, to use private roadways in the development for the purpose of providing emergency services
and for installation, maintenance and repair of utilities.
(d) Principal Access Points. Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to provide for
smooth traffic flow, minimizing hazards to vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic. Where a PUD abuts
a major collector, arterial road or highway, direct access to such road or highway from individual lots,
units or buildings shall not be permitted. Minor roads within the PUD shall not be directly connected
with roads outside of the PUD, unless the County determines such connections are necessary to
maintain the County's road network.
(e) Snow Storage. Adequate areas shall be provided to store snow removedfrom the internal
street network and from off-street parking areas.
At the time the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was determined that adequate
improvements were to be made. No additional improvements are required.
[+] FINDING: Improvements. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (8)]
It HAS previously been determined that adequate improvements were to be provided based
33
12-09-03
on the Land Use Regulations in effect at the time of approval of the Preliminary Plan for the PUD. The
proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect improvements regarding: safe, efficient
access; internal pathways; principal access points; and snow storage.
STANDARD: Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (9)] - The
development proposed for the PUD shall be compatible with the character of surrounding land uses.
The Preliminary Plan approved for the PUD was determined to be compatible with surrounding
land uses. Given the size of the sign which exceeds that permitted in traditional zone districts and the
visibility across this part ofthe Valley, the PUD amendment as proposed is not compatible with the
character of the surrounding land uses.
However, a sign which meets the maximum size requirements for traditional zone districts and
for which the hours during it is illuminated would be compatible. As a condition of approval, the size of
the Major Identification Sign should be limited to 64 square feet, as provided in Section 4-340.C.1.,
Individual Business Signs. As a further condition of approval, illumination of the Major Identification
Sign should be prohibited from 11 :00 P.M. until the following day, unless for a special event.
[+] FINDING: Compatibility With Surrounding Land Uses. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (9)]
The development proposed for the PUD HAS been determined to be compatible with the
character of surrounding land uses. With the recommended condition, the proposed PUD Amendment
WILL permit uses that ARE compatible with the character of surrounding land uses within the Planned
Unit Development.
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 PUD was previously determined to be consistent with the Master Plan including, but not
limited to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The following analysis with respect to the Master Plan
and the FLUM applies only to the changes proposed in the PUD Amendment, subject to the
recommended conditions of approval.

The PUD IS consistent with the Master Plan, including, but not limited to, the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM). The proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect the consistency with the Master
Plan.
STANDARD: Phasing [Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)] - The Preliminary Plan for PUD shall
include a phasing plan for the development. If development of the PUD is proposed to occur in phases,
then guarantees shall be provided for public improvements and amenities that are necessary and
desirable for residents of the project, or that are of benefit to the entire County. Such public
improvements shall be constructed with the first phase of the project, or, if this is not possible, then as
early in the project as is reasonable.
Phasing is not required for this PUD Amendment.
[+] FINDING: Phasing, Section 5-240.F.3.e (11)
A phasing plan IS NOT required for this PUD Amendment
STANDARD: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)] - The PUD
shall comply with the following common recreation and open space standards.
(a Minimum Area. It is recommended that a minimum of 25% of the total PUD area shall be
devoted to open air recreation or other usable open space, public or quasi-public. In addition, the PUD
shall provide a minimum of ten (10) acres of common recreation and usable open space lands for every
one thousand (1,000) persons who are residents of the PUD. In order to calculate the number of
residents of the PUD, the number of proposed dwelling units shall be multiplied by two and sixty-three
hundredths (2.63), which is the average number of persons that occupy each dwelling unit in Eagle
County, as determined in the Eagle County Master Plan.
i. Areas that Do Not Count as Open Space. Parking and loading areas, street right-of-
ways, and areas with slopes greater than thirty (30) percent shall not count toward usable open space.
35
12-09-03
ii. Areas that Count as Open Space. Water bodies, lands within critical wildlife habitat
areas, riparian areas, and one hundred (100) year floodplains, 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 ofthe PUD. All other open space lands shall be conveniently
accessible from all occupied structures within the PUD.
(b) Improvements Required. All common open space and recreational facilities shall be shown
on the Preliminary Plan for PUD and shall be constructed and fully improved according to the
development schedule established for each development phase of the PUD.
(c) Continuing Use and Maintenance. All privately owned common open space shall continue
to conform to its intended use, as specified on the Preliminary Plan for PUD. To ensure that all the
common open space identified in the PUD will be used as common open space, restrictions and/or
covenants shall be placed in each deed to ensure their maintenance and to prohibit the division of any
common open space.
r d) Organization. If common open space is proposed to be maintained through an association or
nonprofit corporation, such organization shall manage all common open space and recreational and
cultural facilities that are not dedicated to the public, and shall provide for the maintenance,
administration and operation of such land and any other land within the PUD not publicly owned, and
secure adequate liability insurance on the land. The association or nonprofit corporation shall be
established prior to the sale of any lots or units within the PUD. Membership in the association or
nonprofit corporation shall be mandatory for all landowners within the PUD.
At the time the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was determined that
adequate common recreation and open space were to be provided. The proposed PUD
Amendment will not have an adverse effect on the adequacy of the open space.
[+] FINDING: Common Recreation and Open Space. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (12)]
It has previously been determined that the development DOES comply with the common
recreation and open space standards applicable at the time of approval of the Preliminary Plan for the
PUD. The proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect common recreation and open space
within the PUD with respect to (a) minimum area;
(b) improvements required;
(c) continuing use and maintenance; or
(d) organization.
STANDARD: Natural Resource Protection. [Section 5-240.F.3.e (13)] - The PUD shall
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.
At the time the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was determined that adequate
protection of natural resources were to be provided. The proposed PUD amendment would not be
detrimental to natural resources.

The PUD IS consistent with the Master Plan, including, but not limited to, the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM). The proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely affect the consistency with the
Master Plan.
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 of Article 3, Zone
Districts. and Article 4, Site Development Standards.
Article 3, Zone Districts
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, findings were made to warrant the zone
district change to PUD based on the applicable Land Use Regulations. The proposed PUD Amendment
is consistent with the provisions of Article 3, Zone Districts, ofthe current Land Use Regulations.
Article 4, Site Development Standards
Division 4-3 - Sign Regulations
The Sign Regulations provide in Section 4-330.E.3., Signs Without Backing, that the "area of all
signs without backing. . . shall be measured by determining the sum of the areas of each square,
rectangle, triangle, portion of a circle or any combination thereof that creates the smallest single
contiguous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits of each word, written representation (including any
series of letters), emblems or figures of similar character."
Based on this provision of the Sign Regulations and the information provided as part of this
application, Staff calculates that the area of the sign is approximately 1 02.5 square feet. The maximum
size of a business sign permitted on any street frontage is 64 square feet.
The proposed sign is intended to "serve as directional and identification of the building
location". Building identification and directional signs are currently provided north of the building along
Beard Creek Road near the access to the site. While business signs facing Interstate 70 are permitted in
other areas of unincorporated Eagle County (e.g., the Eagle-Vail commercial area), those signs are easily
visible from 1-70. Visibility ofthe proposed sign from 1-70 would be limited due to the close proximity
ofthe building to the 1-70 right-of-way and the height of the building above the 1-70 roadway. The sign
would be visible primarily from across the valley in other parts of Edwards. Staff questions the utility of
such a sign for directional purposes, and the desirability of an identification sign that exceeds the
standards applicable in the traditional zone districts.
An additional purpose of the proposed sign is to "recognize the extremely generous donation
given by Mr. and Mrs. Shaw." While this purpose is laudable, alternative means of recognizing the
donors' generosity are available.
As proposed, the sign is not suitable for the PUD and does not provide the minimum sign area
necessary to direct people to and within the PUD. Further, the precedent of allowing a particularly large
sign, visible throughout this part of the valley, may prove to be problematic to the extent that other
enterprises might seek similar identification of their locations.
However, a sign which meets the maximum size requirements for traditional zone districts might
be appropriate. As a condition of approval, the size of the Major Identification Sign should be limited to
64 square feet, as provided in Section 4-340.C.1., Individual Business Signs.
At the same time, an illumination of a sign which is visible across such a large portion of the
adj acent valley may not be appropriate. As a further condition of approval, illumination of the Major
Identification Sign should be prohibited from 11:00 P.M. until the following day, unless for a special
event.
Otherwise, the proposed PUD Amendment is consistent with the provisions of Article 4, Site
Development Standards, of the current Land Use Regulations.
[+] FINDING: Consistent with Land Use Regulations. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (2)]
It HAS previously been found that the development complied with the regulations, policies and
guidelines of the Land Use Regulations applicable at the time of approval of the Preliminary Plan for the
37
12-09-03
PUD. With the recommended conditions, the PUD amendment WILL continue to be consistent with the
Land Use Regulations.
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 Eagle County Road Capital Improvements Plan
(b) Serve Ultimate Population. Utility lines shall be sized to serve the planned ultimate
population of the service area to avoid future land disruption to upgrade under-sized lines.
(c) Coordinate Utility Extensions. Generally, utility extensions shall only be allowed when the
entire range of necessary facilities can be provided, rather than incrementally extending a single service
into an otherwise un-served area.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the development would
have an efficient spatial pattern. The proposed PUD Amendment will not alter the spatial pattern in any
way that causes inefficiencies in the delivery of public services, or require duplication or premature
extension of public facilities, or result in a "leapfrog" pattern of development.
[+] FINDING: Spatial Pattern Shall Be Efficient. (Section 5-280.B.3.e (3)]
It HAS previously been found that the Preliminary Plan for the PUD satisfied the requirements
ofthe Land Use Regulations in effect at the time with respect to efficient spatial patterns. The proposed
PUD Amendment DOES NOT adversely affect the spatial patterns in the area.
STANDARD: Suitability for Development. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (4)] - The property proposed
to be subdivided shall be suitable for development, considering its topography, environmental resources
and natural or man-made hazards that may affect the potential development of the property, and
existing and probable future public improvements to the area.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the area was suitable for
development as approved.
[+] FINDING: Suitability for Development. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (4)]

STANDARD: Compatible with Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (5)] - The proposed
subdivision shall be compatible with the character of existing land uses in the area and shall not
adversely affect the future development of the surrounding area.
When the Preliminary Plan for the PUD was approved, it was found that the PUD is compatible
with the character of existing land uses in the area and would not adversely affect the future
development of the surrounding area. With the recommended conditions, the PUD amendment would
continue to be compatible with the surrounding land uses.
[+] FINDING: Compatible With Surrounding Uses. [Section 5-280.B.3.e (5)]
It HAS previously been determined that the development is compatible with other development
in the area. With the recommended condition, the proposed PUD Amendment WILL NOT adversely
affect the compatibility ofthe resulting development with surrounding uses within the PUD.

Terrill Knight introduced Stan Anderson, Administrator, and Paul Johnston, Board member. He
stated this is a very important use for the valley. He stated the sign will give it better notice. He showed
a power point presentation of the building and discussed how important this center is to the valley. He
stated the purpose is to create a visual identity for its users, many of which are from areas other than
Eagle County. They also want to ensure that the sign is compatible in scale and in size. He stated they
believe individual letters attached to the building would be best. It is not for advertising purposes. He
spoke to the County sign code. He stated they will be submitting a comprehensive sign plan. This is
similar to a multiple business center. He stated they agreed with staff to shut the light off at 11 ;00 p.m.
He stated the Planning Commission was not in favor of lights at all.
Stan Anderson presented photographs of several different versions of the signs. Any other
configuration would not be able to be seen from the Highway. He stated the sign they are proposing is
back lit and is neon light. He presented a nighttime photograph of the cancer center and believes an
unlit sign will not be seen.
Commissioner Menconi asked how many letters would there be.
Mr. Anderson stated there are 24.
Paul Johnston stated the regional component is most important. When there are people traveling
from other areas the lighting behind the sign is important. He stated they are very excited about the
cancer center. They support the proposal.
Mr. Anderson stated periodically they do have nighttime meetings.
Mr. Knight stated they are requesting approval and believe this application is consistent with the
County sign codes. It is essential to have better notice on the building.
Chairman Gallagher asked for public comment. There was none. He closed public comment.
Commissioner Stone asked the applicant if they are requesting approval with one Planning
Commission condition and two staff recommended conditions.
Mr. Knight stated that was correct.
Commissioner Menconi stated he prefers the applicant offer a suggestion to not illuminate the
sign. He has heard a lot of discussion in the community that with night lighting in the valley they have .
lost the ability to see the stars.
Commissioner Stone stated he considered that and this light will be less than what comes out of
the windows.
Mr. Knight stated not illuminating the sign makes it less effective. They agree that the sign
should not be obtrusive. They are next to the freeway and other commercial areas. He stated they have
talked to people with the same concerns.

Chairman Gallagher stated if that was an 80 foot wall he believes that is what the applicant
would be asking for. He asked for the dimensions of the individual letters.
Mr. Anderson answered 2'6". He stated it will be compared to a 40 watt glow.
