The proposed building envelope is divided by the 10' Vandeventer Pipeline Easement, with the smaller portion of the envelope to the north of the easement. APPLICANT: Forrest Miller REPRESENTATIVE: Doug Dotson LOCATION: Tract 7, Stark Mesa Subdivision (off of Prince Creek Road) ZONING/LOT SIZE: The lot contains 5.5 acres and is a nonconforming size lot in the RS-30 zone district. BACKGROUND: The subdivision was platted on February 3, 1972 (Book 4, Page 249). The parcel is vacant. REFERRALS: The application was referred to the Division of Wildlife, Crystal River Caucus and Carbondale Fire District, but comments were not provided. STAFF COMMENTS CiMO.S: The lot was legally created prior to June 12, 1978. The Applicant has not provided documentation to verify that the lot has not merged with any adjacent parcels (while the lot was legally subdivided, since it is not within a BOCC approved subdivision, it is subject to the merger provision). The Applicant will be required to provide documentation in order to make a determination that the lot is exempt from growth management up to 5,750 square feet of floor area. Geolu~=ic: The proposed building envelope is located on slopes of less than 15%, and avoids the steeper slope to the north that drops down to Prince Creek Road. The geologic site assessment prepared by HP Geotech does not identify any geologic issues that would warrant mitigation; they recommend that the residence "should have an adequate setback from the steep slope at the northeast side of the building envelope to not adversely impact stability. A site specific geotechnical study should be conducted for the building foundation and site grading designs." Wild me: Eric Petterson rated the hazard within the proposed building envelope as low, but notes that the hazard on the slope to the north is moderate. He recommends that the residence be at least 30' from the top of slope. The portion of the envelope to the north of the Pipeline Easement is most affected by this recommendation -staff recommends that structures be prohibited within this portion of the envelope. Other development such as the septic system and landscaping could occur within this area. His recommendations to mitigate the wildfire hazard are incorporated in the conditions of approval. Q~~{~~~ Wildlife: The property is within mapped elk and mule deer winter range. The Applicant provided a wildlife assessment prepared by Eric Petterson, in which he concludes that the proposed construction will have minor impacts on wildlife. Recommendations from Mr. Petterson to reduce impacts on wildlife are included in the conditions of approval. Ace~ess: The existing residence is accessed from Prince Creek Road through the subdivision via Cabin Drive. Staff recommends that the Applicant establish an "access envelope" to connect the building envelope to the road easement adjacent to the property. bt~uter/,S'e lic. The Applicant states that water "will likely be provided by the Stark Mesa community water supply." However, there is also a well on the property that may be used. The State issued a permit for the well in 1987 for household use only. The well is located on the lower portion of the lot adjacent to Prince Creek Road; installing lines to connect the well to the residence will impact slopes in excess of 30%. Therefore, staff recommends that the Applicant connect to the community water system and abandon the well. The Applicant will install an individual sewage disposal system. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Miller 1041 Hazard Review and Conceptual Submission, subject to the attached Determination, and subject to the Applicant providing documentation to verity that the fot has not merged with any adjacent lots/parcels. The Determination is drafted with the assumption that documentation is provided.

At 08:32 PM 6/27/2005 ,you wro~e Suzanne. I read in the staff report that you are suggesting that the applicant abandon the well on this lot. I would like to see if Miller can reserve the option to relocate the well as on option for future water service. As you probably know, water on East Mesa is a question, although it appears that the community system is adequate. However, the option of relocating the well will make sure that a future owner is adequately supplied. While a future owner may not wish to do this, it may be a good option to retain. What are your thoughts?

PURPOSE OF THIS APPLICATION This application is submitted for the purposes of gaining approval to develop a single family home on Tract 7 of Stark Mesa Subdivision. The applicant is requesting a vested right to allow the conshvction of a house up to 5,750 squaze feet. Stazk Mesa is located approximately three miles south of Carbondale on Prince Creek Road. The subdivision was created in 1972, before the County adopted subdivision regulations, by a plat this is recorded in Book 4 at Page 249 in the records of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. The subject property is a vacant pazcel located on the east side of the subdivision, at the end of Cabin Road. A legal description and proof of ownership of the property is provided with this application. The current owner of the property is Forrestt Miller. Kate Rameriz is the contract purchaser of the property. Both parties have authorized this 1041 Hazard Review application. A pre-application meeting was held on December 23, 2004. A copy of the pre- application conference summary is provided with this application. II. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The subject property is 5.5 acres. A topographic survey was prepared for this 1041 Hazazd Review application. This survey demonstrates that the property is a long, narrow lot. It is wider on the west side at 535 feet, tapering to the east end, where it is 158 feet. Cabin Road, which is a Stark Mesa Subdivision road, provides access to the westerly property line. The mad is already constructed to the property line. The survey identifies that portion of the property that is relatively flat. This area is in the southwest portion of the property. Here, the topography is relatively flat, sloping to the northwest at about 6 to 7 percent. ~~~~1~ The survey also establishes a "top of bank" line. To the north of this line the property generally exceed I S percent, dropping to Prince Creek Road below. The vegetation on the flat portion of the property is a mix of grasses. This area appeazs to be part of a lazger ranched and grazed azea, although it is no longer used for such purposes. The area to the north of the "top of bank" line is covered with deciduous and coniferous and understory brash. There is an easement crossing the southwest comer of the property. The Vandeventer Pipeline Easement is ten (10') feet wide. It divides the buildable portion on the property. There also is a 7.5 foot reserved easement along each side of the perimeter property lines, which will not have any impact the development of a house on the property. Utilities are already provided to the subdivision. Electric and telephone are now available immediately adjacent to this property. Their locations aze shown on the 1041 site plan. They will be extended to the propose house. There is a 40 foot road easement to the property. There is a gravel road located in the easement. The subject property is zoned RS-30, which requires a minimum lot area of 30 acres. Tract 7 is 5.5 acres. Although smaller than the minimum requirement, Tract 7 is a legally created non-conforming lot. III. PROPOSED BUILDING ENVELOP The azea where a structure can be located is identified on the 1041 site plan. This is the flat azea in the southwest corner of the parcel. The 1041 site plan defines a proposed building envelop. The envelop is established on either side of the Vandenventer Pipeline Easement. This will allow a structure to be located on either side of the easement, but not within the easement. The proposal meets the County's setback requirements. The proposed building envelop is situated such that no building will be located closer than 50 from the front (westerly) property line. Further, it is consistent with a 30 foot setback for the side (southerly) property line. The proposed building envelop ensures that all other setback will faz exceed County requirements. A septic system disturbance azea will be located on the same part of the property as will the building envelop. The on-site disposal system will be located at least 10 feet from a property line and will be located at least 10 feet from the "top of bank" as delineated on the 1041 site plan. The septic field will not be constructed within the pipeline easement. The zone district standazds and the characteristics of this property aze as follows. ~o~jd~ ~ RS-30 Exisfing/Proposed Minimum lot azea 30 acres 5.5 acres Minimum lot area principal use 30 acres 5.5 acres Minimum front yazd setback 50 feet 50 feet Minimum side yazd setback 30 feet 30 feet Minimum reaz yazd setback 30 feet 400 feet + Minimum lot width 400 feet 525 feet Max. height principal structure 28 feet 28 feet Max. height accessory structures 20 feet 20 feet IV. ACCESS Access is provided to Tract 7 within the Stazk Mesa Tracts Subdivision. Cabin Road is U,y i provided the westerly edge of Tract 7. Anew driveway will be installed from the G ~,.r~ property line to the propose residence. It has not been designed at this time. Given the topography in this area, the driveway will comply with all applicable standazds. V. WATER SUPPLY Water will likely be provided by the Stazk Mesa community water supply. However, there is a well on the property. The well is located over 250 feet from an area where an on-site waste water disposal system could be located. Because of issues related to the availability of domestic water in this area, the applicant is reserving both options. VI. SEWAGE DISPOSAL ~*"~'~ ` 6` ~O S r IN O~ ~o'}o ~r~ ~~;,+ An-site waste water disposal is proposed. A specific design has not been developed at this time. The system will not be located closer than 10 to any property line and will be sited at least 10 feet to the south of the "top of bank" as delineated on the 1041 site plan. The system will be designed by a professional engineer, with plans to be submitted with a building permit application. Care will be taken in determining the actual location of the system to ensure that there is adequate percolation and to allow the residence to be sited in the building envelop in a suitable manner. 000013 VII. Utilities All other utilities are provided in the Stazk Mesa Tracts Subdivision. Electric and telephone aze now located at the westerly property line. The location is shown on the 1041 site plan map. Utility extensions will be underground to the proposed residence. VIII. Disturbance Area The re-grading activities and vegetation removal required to accomplish this proposed development will be limited to the areas within the building envelop, the septic system disposal azea and the driveway corridor the will connect the existing road to the proposed residence. The vegetation in the potential disturbance azea is pasture grass. The applicant agrees to revegetate where soil is disturbed. Revegetation will be with native species grasses. A landscaping plan will be submitted with a building permit for the proposed residence. IX.

The study was conducted in accordance with our Professional Services Agreement letter to you dated Match 3, 2005. The purpose of L}:e study was to evaluate potential geologic hazards at the site and assess their potential toll u.ence nn the proposed residence Geologic conditions were observed during a field reconnaissance visit on March 4, 2005. We have also 1•eviewed published geologic literature and regional geologic mapping. This report summarizes our findings and presents our conclusions and recommendations. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT A single family residence is proposed in the designated building envelope in the southwest part ofthe property. Details of the residence had not yet been developed at the time of our study. The residence will be serviced with either the commutrity water system or a private on-site well, and with an individual septic disposai system. STT'L CONDJTIONS Tract 7 is located on Stark Nlcsa about 3 miles southeast of downtown Carbondale. The site was vacant and covered with about 1 foot of snow at the time of our visit. -fhe vegetation on the site consists of native grass and weeds with se;attercd sage on top of the mesa in the build'utg envelope with scattered juniper and scrub oak on the hillsides in the northern part of Tract 7. A 15 foot wide water easement ti-ends north-south across the western part of the property and extends from the building envelope to Prince Creek 12~~ad. A 10 foot wide Vandeventer pipeline easement runs a3jacent to the water line easement and against the north side of the building envelope in the western part of the property. An electric easement runs tnugltly parallel to Prince Creek Road along the northeast side of Tract 7. The natural slopes in the buildinc envelope area are between S% and 10"/° and the overall elevation difference across the proposed building area is about 8 feet. The natural slopes iu the northeast part of'fract 7 are about ;5°/" to 40"rb down to the northeast toward Prince Creek Road and continue about another =100 feet nog ~h to Prince Creak. "1'he exposed cobbles and boulders on Tract 7 are subrounded and are representative of various rock types.fram upstream drainane basins. OOOG~~'> Parlczr i03-841-7119 • Colorado Springs 719.633-5562 • Silverthorne 97~-468-1989 MRR-08-2805 15~4Z r-r utuitcH -~- Gi:OLUGIC SETTING r.eS~eS The project site is located ht the southern part ol'the Carbondale evaporte i•.ollapse center. The Grand IIogback tnonoclime in the Glenwood Springs area marks the western limit of the western Colorado evaporite region. During the middle Pennsylvanian about 300 million years ano a thick sequence of evaporite, mostly gypsum and anhydrite with some halite, was deposited in this region as both the Eagle Valley Formation and Eagle Val]ey Evaporite. T'he project site is in the southern part of the Carbondale ::ollapse center which is the westetTtmost of two large regional collapse centers in the evaporite re=ion. Tt is a northwest trending structural feautre that covers about 460 square miles and extends from its apparent eastern limit near Basalt to north of Ri Ile on its western side (Kirkham and Uthers, 2002). As much as 4,000 feet of regional subsidence is believed to have occurred in the southern part of the collapse center near Carbondale within the past 10 million years as the result of dissolution and flowage of evaporite from beneath the region. Much of the collapse appears to have occurred within the past 3 million years which also corresponds to high incision rates along the Colorado River and its main tributaries such as the Roaring Fork River (Kirkham and Others, 2002). If this is the case, the long-team average subsidence rate was between OS and 'I.6 inches per 100 years- The main collapse center structural feature is the 14 mile long, northwest=trending Cattle Creek anticline located about 1.5 miles northwest of the project site.l'he anticline runs along the Roaring Fork River and Crystal River valleys from south of Carbondale to Glenwood Springs. The evaporite in the core of the anticline is a diapir that has tilted early and middle Pleistocene outwash terraces but has not affected the late Tleistocene terraces (Kirkham and Others, 2002). The late Pleistocene terraces in the Glenwood Springs area and at the project site have not been deformed by evaporite tectonics. Some faults in the western Colorado evaporite region close to Che project site are geolob~zcally young, however, since they are associated with slow evaporite deformations they are not considered capable of generating large eatlktquakes. TTze closest geologically young fault zones to the project area with known or suspected post-glacial activity (movement within about the past 15,000 years) and considered potentially c::,pable of generating .large earthquakes are the Williams Fork Mountain fault zone located about 67 miles to the northeast and the southern section of the Sawatch fault zone located about 63 mi ies to the southeast o.f the project area (Widmatut and Others, 1998). GFOhOG1C SITE ASSESSMENT Construction of the proposed residence in the desi~tated building envelope appears fusible based on geologic considerations. The project site is not impacted by snow avalanche, rockfall or debris flow hazards. Conditions of a geologic nature that should be considered in project planning and design are the potential far evaporite deformation within the project area and earthquakes. Geoteclmicat considerations fen the building foundation tmd grading designs are also ctiscussed below. t~5ti~~.!os zza oO~fj~t CxaPtectt MAR-08-2005 15 42 H-P GEOTECH -3- ~J P.04i05 Evaporite Deformation: The project site is located in the Carbondale cvaporite collapse enter where regional ground deformations have been associated with evaporite solution and flow in the geologic past. Evaporite deformation in the project area. probably started about 10 million years ago, but it is uncertain if the defamation is still active or if delormation has stopped. If evapvrite deformation is still active, it appears to be taking place at very slow rates and over broad areas with little risk of abnrpt differential ground displacement except along evaporite related faults. We are not aware of evaporite related deli>m~ation problems ni the project vicinity. In our opinion, the cun•ently available information ou regional evaporite deformation would indicate that the potcutial risks to the proposed residence are low and mitigation is not warranted. F.arthyuake Considerations: The project azea could experience earthquake related ground shaking. Historic earthquake ground shaking in the region has been moderately strong, but has not exceeded Modified Mercalli Intensity VI (Kirl<harn and l:ogers, 1985). Modif ed Mercalli intensity VI gromrd shaking should be expected during a reasonable exposure time for the proposed residence, taut the probability for stronger grotuid shaking is low. Intensity VI ground shaking is felt by most people and causes general alarm, but results in negligible damage to structures of goad design and construction. '!`he residence should be designed to withstand moderately strong ground shaking with little or no damage and not to collapse under stronger 1,2ound shaking. The U.S. Geological Survey National Seismic Iiazazd Map indicates that a peak' ground acceleration of U.06g has a 10% exceedence probability fora 50 year exposure time at the project site (Frankel and ethers, 2002). This corresponds to a statistical recurrence time of 475 years. The region is in the 1997 Uniform Builduig Code, Seismic Risk Zone 1. Based on our current understanding of the earthquake potential in this part of Colorado, we see no reason to increase the previously accepted seismic risk zone for the region. Gentechnieai Consideration: The subsoils at the site consist of alluvial fan. and terrace deposits of variable type and engineering properties. The fine-grained portions of these deposits could have variable settlement potential especially when wetted under load.. The building should have adequate setback from the steep slope at the northeast Side of the building envelope to not adversely impact stability. A site specific geotecluticsrl study should be conducted for the building foundation and site grading designs. Li Iv4iTATitJNS 'this study was conducted according to generally accepted engineering geology principles and practices in this area, at this time. We make no warranty either express or irnplied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report arc based on our field observations, interpretations of previous geologic studies and mapping, and our experience in the area.

I visited the Tract 7 parcel, in the Stark Mesa Tracts Subdivision, in Pitkin County, on March 9, 2005. Mr. Dotson had requested a 1041 site review for his clients that desire to build a single family home on the site. The property and area around it are considered "Low Hazard", due to the fact that the slope is less than 20% (actual slope averaged 2%) and the fuels were discontinuous. However, the slope north of building envelope is very steep (approximately 40%) with discontinuous fuels. Therefore, the following Mitigations are recommended for any new construction: I. Vegetation 1. From the farthest point of the house, extending out to 30', all upland brush species (oak, servicebeny, chokecherry, sagebrush, etc.) must be thinned to 2 times the height of the fuel. 2. All other vegetation must be kept to less than 1' (1 foot) in height up to 20' from any structures. 3. All branches from remaining trees and tall brush within the thirty-foot perimeter shall be pruned to a height of ten feet (10') above the ground with removal of ladder fuels from around trees and tall brush. 4. All within a 50' perimeter ~J of bam shall be removed. 5.

INC. I visited Tract 7 in the. Stark Mesa Tracts Subdivision on March 9, 2005 to assess the area for construction of a single family home and the potential impacts to wildlife and habitat in the area. This assessment is based on: (1) December 23, 2004 survey of the Property; (2) a review of current Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOV1n Natural Diversity Information Source (NDIS) Species Distribution (formerly known as VJRIS) Maps (Colorado Division of Wildlife 2004); and (4) the authors experience in recognizing, avoiding, minimizing, and mitigating potential impacts of development on wildlife and other ecological resources in the Carbondale area. This wildlife analysis is based on current conditions, and expected wildlife use in the area given the current human occupation and use of the area, as well as expelled impacts from construction activities on the property. Discussions with the Colorado Division of Wildlife have not occurred for this property.

The size of the single family residence has not yet been decided. EXISTING CONDITIONS The development area is on Stark Mesa, approximately 1 mile up the Stark Mesa road. The area around the property is a mix of low density rural homes, irrigated hay meadows and cow pastures, native sagebrush fields, and steeper draws consisting of moderately dense pinion and juniper trees, and smaller shrubs. Prince Creek is just north of the property, at the bottom of a steep slope and across Prince Creek Road. Historically the area around the property was used for livestock grazing and possibly some irrigated hay production. Stark Mesa has been subdivided, and now homesites dot the landscape along with older ranch houses and associated ranch buildings. Cattle production in the area is still ongoing. Tract 7 is bounded by private lands on all sides. Stark Mesa is dominated by a combination of sagebrush flats (Artemisia vaseyana) and agricultural grasses (crested wheatgress (Agropyron crisfatum), smooth brome (Bromus inermis), and others) on top of the mesa. On steeper, more well drained slopes with poorer soils, pinon trees (Pinus edulis), juniper trees (Juniperus utahensis), Gambel's oak (Quercus gambell~), serviceberry (Amelanchier utahensis), and rebbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus and viscidiflorus) dominate the vegetation, with more understory grasses, forts and shrubs on site, but unidentifiable flows at the bottom of the gulch to the north of cottonwood/willow community, heavily used by cattle. Noxious weeds observed on the property inGuded cheatgrass (Anisantha tectorum), but other weed species may be present, but were not seen due to snow cover. There are no permanent or intermittent surface waters on the property, aside from what may run down the road during snowmelt or during high intensity thunderstorm events. The Vandeventer pipeline crosses the property, but is buried. Some evidence of this pipeline was observed, but was buried by snow during the site visit. Habitats in the greater area within and around the subdivision are characterized by most of the mesa tops and valley bottoms being irigated for pastureland or hay production, scattered ranch buildings, low density subdivisions, and steeper terrain dominated by native shrub communities. Roads are heavily traveled by homeowners and associated activities from the nearby subdivisions. Cattle production is still active in many of the pastures. i Rocky Mountain Ewbgid Services, Inc ®~~~G'i due to the time of year.

The habitat on the property supports various seasonal migratory and breeding birds, as well as year round resident bird species. During the site visits, black capped chickadee, hairy woodpecker, Stellars jay, and magpie were observed. Black bear (Ursus amencanus) are very common in the area, utilizing native vegetation as well as opportunisticallyfeeding around homes. The Cdoredo Division of Vlfildlife (CDOW) WRIS maps show the area as a fall concentration area. Habitat on the property can also support habitat for various raptors, inGuding saw-whet owl, great-homed owl, Cooper's hawk, sharlrshinned hawk, red-tailed hawk, and golden eagle. ~ckY Mountain Ecobgical Services, Inc 0~~~5 J Trat 7, Stork Mua Tmrtr 1041 Ecological Aaec.~meot Marrb 9, 2005 BIG GAME USE Mule Deer Mule deer are common in the area year-round, but during the winter months, deer move down out of the nearby hills to browse on shrubs. During the daytime, deer take refuge in the gullies and pirioMuniper areas, and then feed at dawn and dusk. Deer will primarily browse on serviceberry, chokecherry, rabbitbrush, sagebrush, Gambel's oak, and graze (when snow free) in meadows and hay fields. Current CDOW WRIS maps delineate the area as mule deer winter range. Current CDOW WRIS maps delineate the majority of Stark Mesa as elk winter range, with a polygon covering the eastern drainages as elk winter concentration areas. Elk use throughout the area is relatively light and likely used by smaller bands of elk, rather than large herds. Depending on snow depths, small herds of elk will utilize the area, moving through the more open oakbrush stands where snow depth is shallower than the more shaded areas. The north facing slopes and draws with pirSonruniper stands would likely be used for day-bedding for elk to get seek shelter and to escape higher daytime temperatures. The main impact to elk use in the area is likely resident dogs in the homes, and dog walkers on roads. This may not be a significant issue to big game in the summer, when most animals move higher into the mountains, but during the winter (if dog walking on the road and loose dogs running through he subdivisions is still common), then this may discourage elk use on Stark Mesa. Rocky Mountain Ewbgid Services, Inc 000050 TraY7, Stark Mera Tinos 1041 Fra1 ArucmaRt Moab 9, 2005 EFFECTS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Big Game Proposed construction on the property should have only minor impacts to elk use in the area. As the building will be Gose to the road the human use of the road has already impacted elk and deer use patterns in the area. Therefore, direct impacts associated with the construction will not likely negatively impact deer or elk populations in the area, but may impact individual animal's behavior and movement patterns. Increased road traffic of construction vehiGes may negatively impact individual animals that are Gose to the road off-site of the parcel. After construction, if the resident's dog is allowed to run loose, the dog may have more impacts during the nighttime hours than the typically diurnal dog walking use on the road. Additionally, a resident dog would likely have an impact to winter time big game use in the area if the dog is allowed to run loose or barks. Decreases in deer use are potentially similar to decreases in elk use. The loud noises and high levels of human activity during construction will likely preGude deer use during those activities. Loss of deer browse will be very minor, due to some more thinning of nearby shrubs for wildfire mitigation. The decrease in deer use in the area during construction, and minor loss of browse will not likely have negative populaation impacts to mule deer in the area. The current high level of loose dogs in the neighborhood likely already keeps many deer away from the immediate conidor along Stark Mesa. Post construction, the main impact to deer in the immediate area around the new home will be from dogs on the property. If dogs are allowed to run loose or bark, then this may preGude deer use around the property, especially during evening hours. Other wildlife Black bear use of the area may potentially decrease during construction due to human activity, but if construction crews leave open dumpsters, or leave trash around the area, bears may become more of a nuisance as they would increase their activity in the area looking for edible refuse. Red fox use may also increase in the area due to edible human refuse, and long tern increases in red fox in the area may have a negative impact to nesting bird species, as fox will prey on birds opportunisticalty. Domestic cats that are allowed to run loose will have a negative impact on breeding bird nesting and foraging. Cats will eat birds and destroy nests readily. ky Mountain Ecobgical Services, Irx 000057 Trat7, Stm~E Meta Tiara 1041 EtologcalAasttmeat Mmrb 9, 2005 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS As the current wildlife use in the area is dominated by black bear use, bird species use, and to a lesser degree big game, the following mitigations are recommended to reduce impacts to these wildlife taxa: Bi4 Game Dogs must be leashed or kenneled, especially during the winter when elk utilize the area, to ensure they do not harass wintering big game, or during spring (May-June) fawning for deer. Dogs should be kept within a fenced yard or leashed to contain them from running freely- especially during the winter, spring and evenings. EnGosed runs or yards should be immediately adjacent to the home and should not exceed 1,000 square feet. Homeowners are encouraged to keep their pets indoors to protect pets from mountain lion or black bear attacks and to keep them from harassing other wildlife species. 2. At no time are dogs allowed to run freely on the property. When dogs move beyond their owner's designated building envelope, the dog(s) should be controlled by a leash of no more than 12 feet in length, under the direct control of its owner or authorized representative, unless the dog is legally hunting with its owner or authorized representative, or is being trained for such a purpose. Visitors and guests of residents should comply with all dog and pet control measures applicable to this property. Stray dogs may also be controlled by the County and CDOW. Homeowners not in compliance with these dog restrictions may be ~ „,,~` °~~t~-~ ~r~ Y ,~,~ responsible for any and all ~~~, Kati ,~ , .' ~ costs incurred by the County r,_ . ~,w~'~- .. "' '~~ ~ `"'"w and/or CDOW for enforcing these provisions. 3. Homeowners should avad feeding dogs or cats and other pets outside their homes, inGuding decks, to avoid attracting nuisance wildlife or predators. Free roaming dogs and cats may become prey for other species. 4. CDOW and County ~ ~ representatives may be granted access to the property to enforce any of the dog restrictions and other wildlife restrictions set within these recommendations. CDOW enforcement may inGude the capture or destruction of any dogs running at large on the property, regardless of where the dogs may have originated 5. Any fencing (aside from kennels or other fences designed to contain pets) should be constructed to facilitate the movement of wildlife across the property. Fencing should / Rocky Mountain Ecobgid Services, Inc o~~~~J:1 Timt7, Stark Mua Titxts 1041 ErolagiralAsrerrmmt Marsh 9, Z00f be limited to a maximum of three strands of wire or two rails. Rails should not be more than four inches thick or tall (as measured perpendicular from the ground). The top rail or wire strand should not be higher than 42 inches above the ground. With the exception of a split-rail, round rail, or peeled log fence types, wooden fences should not have a top cross member whose width exceeds one inch, unless (1) designed to preGude > 3 inches of snow accumulation on the top rail, which has been known to restrict game movements, or (2) where some section of fence rails would be routiney and seasonally removed, as specified below, to facilitate wildlife movements. The middle wire strand should be no higher than 30 inches above the ground level, providing a 12 inch kickspace below the top strand or rail. The bottom rail or wire strand should be at least 18 inches above mean ground level (but in the case of a wooden rail not higher than 30 inches), to provide sufficient clearance for passage of elk calves, deer fawns and other wildlife. Although fence lines may be designed with removable sections, they should still be built to the above specifications to facilitate local wildlife movements outside of migratory periods. There should be no fencing of individual lot lines. Homeowners may be permitted a privacy fence to enGose a limited area provided it is immediately adjacent to the house and is entirely within the designated building envelope. Homeowners are also discouraged, but not prohibited, from fencing all or portions of the designated development envelope with wildlife restrictive fencng to exGude big game from landscaped areas. Birds Many Sensitive bird species utilize the area, inGuding: • Pygmy nuthatch • Western tanager • Olive-sided flycatcher (and other flycatcher species) • Various warbler speces • Northern three-toed woodpecker 1. Therefore, pet cats should remain indoors, as cats will readily prey upon these species and can have a significant impact on bird use in the area and on bird populations. 2. Bird feeders are discouraged due to the heavy black bear use in the area. Bird feeders can be used in the winter (from mid November through mid March), as bears are hibernating during this time. Rocky Mourrtain Ecobgical Services, Inc 000059 Trat7, Swrk Mtta Tmtlt 1041 EtologralA.rturment Many 9, 2005 B@arS Black bears are very common in the area from spring (April) through fall (late November). There are existing problems with bears, garbage, and people in Pitkin County and some bears have shown signs of habituation and aggression towards residents. The following measures should be implemented to reduce potential bear problems: 1. There should be no dumps that have edible materials associated with the construction. 2. Residential garbage should be placed in bear-proof dumpsters, individual bear- proof trash containers, or kept in trash cans inside closed buildings. 3. Residents must not use a compost pile if they have gardens. 4. Pets should not be fed outside. Bowls of pet food left around buildings will attract bears and other predators (e.g. coyotes or red fox) and nuisance species (e.g. skunks, raccoon, waodrats) of wildlife. 5. Homeowners should be educated about bears and other local wildlife via a homeowner's brochure, such as that produced by the CDOW. 6. Acorns should be raked up and moved off site during the fall when bears depend heavily on this mast, if atom production in augmented by inigation around the house. Mountain Lions Mountain lions may be present year-round near the property. In other areas of Colorado, where subdivisions have encroached upon mountain lion habitat containing high concentrations of prey species, encounters between lions, humans, and their pets and livestock have increased. The following measures should be implemented to minimize lion-human conflicts: 1. Residents and perspective residents should be aware that Smuggle Mountain is located in mountain lion habitat. Residents and perspective residents should receive a copy of the CDOWs educational homeowner's brochure explaining what they should be aware of regarding lions, measures they can take to increase their safety and that of their pets, and what to do if a Gose encounter occurs. 2. With the exception of winter bird feeders, the feeding baiting, salting, or other means of attracting wildlife will be prohibited on site. kY Mountain Ecobgiml Services, Inc OODU6© Trat 7, Szark Mua Tisxtr 1041 ol.9srvmxnt Moab 9, 2005 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this property.
