Holly Kasper, Health & Human Services
Ms. Kasper explained the need for the resolution. She recognized the HHS staff. Older adults in the
county are challenged and needed us to reach out and help them and provide the needed resources as many are
unable to care for themselves and have no one to support them. She thanked Caroline Murphy, Sherry Almond and
Jhandery Martinez the backup caseworker. They constituted the Adult Protective Services Team. She recognized
the Economic Services staff. There was an adult protection team to bring ideas and referrals to the table.
Chairman Runyon thanked Ms. Kasper for her hard work as well.
Ms. Kasper encouraged everyone to reach out to older residents to help them in many ways.
Commissioner Stavney thanked Ms. Kasper as well for their ongoing work on this issue.

Bob Narracci, Planning
Chairman Runyon asked the Attorney's Office if there were any changes to the Consent Agenda.
Bryan Treu, County Attorney stated that there was one clarification with Item Q. Under condition 2
dealing with vesting, the vesting was contingent on a few things such as getting funding by a certain date, getting a
building permit by a certain date, and getting an agreement with CDOT, etc. He spoke of another condition;
number 8 that dealt with getting final design plan review from the county. Engineering believed it should be added
under condition 2. He believed it did not matter if it was placed under condition 2 as all conditions needed to be
dealt with. There were 9 conditions they had to be met to continue their vested rights.
Commissioner Stavney spoke about the three issues dealing with ECO transit.
Kelley Collier spoke about the various issues. They were excited about the grants received and one of
these grants would allow replacement buses. There was also a grant for operating reimbursement. They would be
adding bus stop enhancements in Eagle along Highway 6 near Corky's.
Chairman Runyon shared that the buses added many miles in a given year.
Ellie Caryl spoke to the board about the right of way deal for the Eagle to Dotsero trail. This would allow
the completion of that portion of the trail by the fall. She stated that the BLM portion was about 1/4 of a mile. The
remainder of the route was through CDOT right of way. The BLM was aware of the pending request to cross their
lands through Red Canyon. The Red Canyon request was an amendment to an existing request. She added that
there was an ongoing conversation about existing taxes that might be used for trails with approval of the voters.
Mr. Montag spoke about Item J. He wondered if the contract in addition to the fees covered the costs.
Ray Merry explained that it did not come close. Special Events took a lot of time.
Chairman Runyon wondered about rates charged.
Mr. Merry stated that these rates were set by statute. The Colorado Restaurant Association tried to make
sure fees were fair across the state. Their goal was to educate the establishments in food safety. The value was to
the local community and the visiting public.

06/19/2012
Chairman Runyon suggested looking for every opportunity to increase fees to pay for these programs. He
added that Eagle County could be harmed by a major outbreak in food borne illnesses.
Commissioner Stavney moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items A -R.
Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners, the vote was declared
unanimous.
Citizen Input
Chairman Runyon opened and closed citizen Input, as there was none.
Commissioner Stavney moved to adjourn as the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners and re-

Resolution 2012 -069 Adopting Eagle County Medical Marijuana Business Licensing
Regulations
County Attorney's Office Representative Bryan Treu
Mr. Treu stated that the purpose was to effectuate positions the board has already taken. There must be
buffers between certain uses. The county decreased the distance from schools to 200 feet due to the proximity of
commercial districts to existing schools. The County required odor control, interference restrictions, payment of
possession and tax payments, state application completion. County license requirements would go into effect July
1. The Planning Director would be given responsibility to administer these licenses.
Chairman Runyon spoke about the 1000 foot state requirement and the fact that Eagle County had changed
it to 200 feet. He added that this length was already fairly limiting. This distance made sense for the layout of the
county.
Chairman Runyon opened and closed public comment, as there was none.
Commissioner Stavney moved to approve the resolution adopting Eagle County Medical Marijuana
Business Licensing Regulations.
Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners, the vote was declared

1. Except as otherwise modified by this development permit, all material representations made by the
Applicant in this application and in public meeting shall be adhered to and considered conditions of
approval.
2. This Special Use Permit shall be valid for a period of not more than three (3) years prior to actual

valid, in perpetuity, and shall run with the land, provided that ownership changes and the new owner chosen
to continue the use, staff will evaluate the new owner's business plan for compliance with this special use.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Hanagan spoke about the request using a PowerPoint slide show. This would be a home business and
micro - distillery. He reviewed details of the request. Staff had no substantive concerns.
Claude Seeman and Geoffrey Leonardo were present as the owners. They were initially solely focused on
sales within Eagle County.
Chairman Runyon wondered about deliveries of raw materials and outgoing finished product.
Mr. Seeman stated that he expected 6 vehicle trips per day with materials coming in via his pickup truck
and later with a delivery van.
Commissioner Stavney stated that he was comfortable due to the rural and isolated nature of the residential
location. He wondered about future success and associated increase in traffic activity.
Mr. Seeman stated that he had to get his licenses and permits in place before he developed a product. The
whole business was "cart before the horse" reality. Aged liquors were required by federal statute to have an age
declaration on the label unless they were two years or more old.
Commissioner Stavney was mildly concerned about future success and expansion requests. If the operation
became more industrial, it would no longer qualify as a home business.
Chairman Runyon wished the owners good luck in their endeavor.
Chairman Runyon opened and closed public comment, as there was none.
Commissioner Stavney moved to approve file no. ZS -3627 808 Distillery.
Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners, the vote was declared
unanimous.
