Compliance will generally involve avoidance of "Constrained Areas" through the identification of an "Activity Envelope," as well as approval of a Site Plan. For purposes of Chapter 7, "Constrained Areas" include all areas included in each of the following categories, as defined and regulated by this Land Use Code: (i) Areas of Statewide Interest listed in C.R.S. 24.65.1-101 et. seq.), (ii) steep and potentially unstable slopes, (iii) water courses, drainage channels, and areas subject to erosion, (iv) floodplain hazard areas, (v) geological hazard areas, (vi) severe or low to moderate wildfire hazard areas, (vii) wildlife habitat areas, (viii) river and stream corridors and wetlands (ix) irrigated lands for food or crop production, (x) historic preservation areas, and (xi) archeological resource areas. Response: This Site Plan and Activity Envelope attached to this Application avoids all censtrained areas identified above and meets the provisions set forth in the Land Use Code as well as Pitkin County's Comprehensive Plan for the area in which the Subject Properly is located. (b) The Site Plan process incorporates an "Activity Envelope" approach in which the County staff works with the applicant to determine which portions of the site (if any) would permit the proposed activity or development to be conducted in compliance with this land Use Code and in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan for the area. In general, this process will involve both a determination of (i) which portions of the site are not available for development because of the existence of Constrained Areas, and (ii) of the remaining portions of the site, which areas would accommodate the activity or development so as to minimize impacts on surrounding properties, maximize compliance with the requirements of the development standards in this Chapter 7, and maximize compliance with the Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives. Response: This Site Plan and Activity Envelope attached to this Application identifies the portions of the Subject Property that are permitted for the proposed activity/deveopment as outlined in the Land Use Code and Comprehensive Plan for the area in which the Subject property is located. The Subject property contains no constrained areas, and the set backs set forth in the Land Use Code minimize the impacts on the surrounding Properties. (c) In general, the defined Activity Envelope for development of primary uses shall be large enough to accommodate the proposed principal use of the property and traditional permit6ed accessory structures, infrastructure (roads and septic systems), and uses, but should not be significantly larger than the area needed for such structures. In the case of a site with few Constrained Areas, the defined 1PAFiCE61DS 264910200020 000030 ~ _ Activity Envelope may include more than one potential building site for a new single family home. The defined Activity Envelope may include non-contiguous areas (including separate areas for septic fields, landscaping, driveways to public roads, mitigation measures required in connection with any provision of this Chapter 7, and/or areas to be disturbed only during construction on the property - including staging areas and materials storage areas). Construction of trails will not require an Activity Envelope analysis except as required by Sec. 7-20-50. Response: The Activity Envelope attached to this Application accommodates all the proposed development and maintains all required set back limitations as set forth in this Land Use Code. The Subject Property has an existing Residence with development that has been incorporated into the Activity Envelope. This Application also identifies corrective measures to existing structures that were built prior to the Land Use Code that do not currently fd with in the set back requirements outlined in this Land Use Code. (d) Clearing, grading, grubbing, earthmoving that exceeds fifty (50) cubic yards, or changes in the natural drainage of the site shall occur only after an Activity Envelope has been defined and atl applicable local, state and federal permits have been obtained. In addition, Site Plan Approval is required 'rf these activities will occur on a property within a Scenic View Protection Area. Response: The Applicant will comply with the requirements stated in the above section and has identified such work on the Site Plan. (ej Once an Activity Envelope has been defined, the natural grade, topography, vegetation and drainage of areas outside the defined areas shall not be disturbed except as specifically permitted in this Land Use Code. Prior to any development activity on the parcel, the boundaries of the Activity Envelope shall be identfied with construction fencing, and such fencing shall remain in place until development has been completed. Response: The Applicant will comply with the above code section and place construction fencing at the Activity Envelope perimeter as identified on the Site Plan until such construction is complete. Note- the subject parcel was legally created on November 22"d, 1954 and was developed prior to June 12, 1978 with an established Landscape outside the Activity Envelope. (f) While it is preferable to obtain approval of an Activity Envelope as part of the Site Plan approval process, applicants who are not prepared to submit a Site Plan for a specific structure may request approval of an Activity Envelope separately. Prior to the is6uance of a Devebpment Permit, the applicant shall be required to apply for and obtain approval of a Site Plan confirming that the proposed development is consistent with the defined Activity Envelope and with other standards in this Land Use Code not considered at the time the Activity Envelope was defined. 1PAtiCEL, ID4 264910200020 OQ0031 ~ -- Response: This Application includes approval requests for both an Activity Envelope and Site Plan both conforming to the standards set forth in the Land Use Code. (g) The standards in this Chapter 7 shall be used (i) to identrfy the Activity Envelope on a properly, (ii) to review and approve the Site Plan for proposed development, and (iii) to regulate development within the Activity Envelope pursuant to the Site Plan. Development Standards in this Chapter 7 which are to be reviewed as part of Activity Envelope and Site Plan review are set forth in Table 7-1 below.

(b) To the extent possible, the development shall be designed so as to: avoid adding water to the site that would cause decreased stability; avoid removing the toe of the slope without adequate mechanical support; avoid increasing the weight load on top of the slope; re-contour disturbed slopes so that they can be re-vegetated; avoid steepening of existing slopes. (c) Any development approved pursuant to this section shall be conditioned upon compliance with the engineer or geologist's recommended mitigation measures. (d) Following Site Plan review, and prior to the application for a Building Permit, a precise engineer or geologist approved mitigation plan shall be submitted by the applicant that shows the area of disturbed slope, any re-grading required and the exact size and location of all mitigation devices. The mitigation measures must be determined by the Community Development Department to be the least visually and ecologically obtrusive aftematives. Response: The above does not apply to this Application as the Subject Property and Activity Envelope does not include any naturally occurring slopes with gradients in excess of 30%. (2) PARCELS WITH SOME AREAS OF LESS THAN THIRTY (30) PERCENT SLOPES (a) If a parcel contains areas with less than thirty (30) percent slopes that are accessible by a road or driveway that meets the requirements of this Land Use Code, but such areas (after exclusion of Constrained Areas) are not large enough to develop the floor area permitted by underlying zoning, then areas containing slopes of less than thirty (30) percent must be utilized to develop as much of the floor area as can feasibly be acx:ommodated. Areas containing slopes of thirty (30) percent or greater (but not exceeding forty-five (45) percent) may then be used for development of the remainder of the permitted floor area. The resu~ing area specified for development should define a contiguous area with slopes of less than thirty (30) percent to the maximum extent practicable. (b) Development on slopes equal to or exceeding thirty (30) percent (but less than or equal to forty-five (45) percent) shall be subject to the development standards in Sec. 7-20-20(c)(1)(a) through (d)., and shall minimize disruption of natural ten-ain as viewed from any of those roads identified in Sec. 7-20-120(b).

The level of hazard is determined primarily by grade or slope and continuity of fuels. As a general guideline, low hazard is located on slopes of zero to twenty (0-20) percent with discontinuous fuels; moderate hazard is located on slopes of ten to twenty (10-20) percent with continuous fuels, or on slopes greater than twenty (20) percent with discontinuous fuels; and severe hazard is located on slopes of greater than twenty (20) percent with continuous fuels. (a) Wildfire Hazards Map Areas of "Severe Wildfire Hazard" and "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard" are designated on the Pitkin County adopted Wildfire Hazard Area Maps, which are maintained in the Community Development Department. However, the maps are only a general reference, and actual wildfire hazards shall be field verified. In the event field verbcation identifies areas of wildfire hazard not identified on such maps, the provisions of this Sec. 7-20-60 shall apply to such areas. In each case where an applicant's property is located partially or entirely within an area of "Severe Wildfire Hazard" or "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard," a wildfire expert acceptable to the County shall visit the property to evaluate the level of risk in more detail. The wildfire expert may confirm the levels of risk indicated on the Wildfire Hazard Area Maps, or may recommend that all or a portion(s) of the site be reclassified to a higher or lower level of wildfire risk. In addition, the wildfire expert shall make recommendations regarding any mitigation measures that should be implemented in light of the proposed activity or development, and such recommendations shall be considered by the County in the Site Plan process. (b) Wildfire Hazard Area Delineation and Activity Envelope If requested by the Community Development Department during apre- application conference, the Site Plan shall delineate all areas of "Severe Wildfire Hazard" and "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard" within the Activity Envelope and within one hundred (100) feet outside the Activity Envelope.

As you know I was there on Thursday, May 29a' to walk the site take photos and evaluate the wildfire hazard conditions. I will qualify my observations as those of conditions as they now exist. The existing house is located on a terrace sloping at about 10% to 15% to the road then more steep to the river. The general slope of the terrain from east to west is about 20%. The azea I consider to be a medium wildfire hazard area. However, on much of your property the vegetation has been managed in a way that creates defensible space and a low wildfire hazard area. As long as the defensible space is managed as described in this document I determine that it is appropriate to consider the house and proposed gazage and house addition to be in a Low Wildfire Hazard azea. Vegetation Management and Modification Recommended: Around the house and the proposed garage and house addition and beyond the furthermost projection of combustible construction of the buildings for a distance of 15-feet the area should be of primarily noncombustible hard scape surfaces. Woody vegetation should not be planted within this area. Firewood or other combustible materials should not be stored within this azea. If you would like to maintain or provide some trees or shrubs in the vicinity of the house or other buildings this may be done if the 15-foot area is extended outwazd from the furthest growth expected from the mature trees and shrubs. In other words, these trees and shrubs should have defensible space as the buildings do. Crowns of vegetation within these clusters should be at leastl0-feet from any portion of the buildings. Limbs of trees should be pruned to one half the height of the tree or 10- feet whichever is less. 2. Within 35-feet of the buildings or to the property line, maintain natural and/or irrigated grass at less than 6-inches. Limbs of all trees should be pruned to one ?.~ ~l.IDt264910200020 ~~0~~9 ~-__ - half the height of the tree or 10-feet whichever is less. No brush or shrubs which when mature will be tall enough act as ladder fuel should be provided or maintained around the trees. Ideally the plant material growing between trees and clusters of bushes or trees is grass maintained at 6-inches or less. Remove all standing dead and deadfall on the property. There does not appeaz to be much of either. New Construction: LOW WILDFIRE HAZARD AREA: Pitkin County has Structural Design and Construction Requirements, the following aze paraphrased from the Pitkin County Land Use Code, Chapter 7, Section 7-20-60 Wildfire Hazards and may or may not contain exact language but is intended to be consistent with the intent and purpose of the Pitkin County requirements. Roofs shall be constructed with aClass-A roof assembly as defined in the 2003 International Building Code (IBC) Section 1505.2. Wood shake/shingle roof coverings aze prohibited in all wildfire azeas. Roofs with less than a 3:12 pitch are not permitted in wildfire areas unless they comply with the following: 1. All roof coverings shall be Class-A materials approved for installation on a class- Aroof assembly. 2. All roof coverings shall have a surface that shall facilitate the natural process of clearing the roof of debris. 3. All roof designs shall facilitate the natural process of clearing roof debris. 4. Roofs shall be installed as required by the adopted building code and shall have a minimum slope of 1:48. 5. All roof designs, coverings or equivalent assemblies shall be specifically approved by the Fire Marshal prior to submittal of a building permit application. Maintenance: 1.

APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 022-2006 establishes a fee structure for land use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent to a determination of application completeness. The fee structure is based on the County's policy that development shall pay, in full, the cost of development review in Pitkin County. Foes have been set to be consistent and fair to the public and to reflect the expense incurred in providing such services to the public. 3. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of Ute proposed project, it may not be possible at the time of application to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application. 4. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that fees charged for the processing of land use applications shall accumulate if an application includes more than one type of land use review. 5. COUNTY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for COUNTY staff to complete processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners to enable the Planning Commission and/or Boatel of Courty Commissioners to make legally required findings for project approval, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision. 6. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the COUNTY'S waiver of its right to collect full fees Dior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay a base fee in the amount of E ~+~ which is based on 15 hours of staff time, and if actual time spent by staff to process the application exceeds the average number of hours by more than 20°/., then the COUNTY will bill the APPLICANT quarterly for the additional time spent. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for suspension of processing.
