Mr. Brown said they have used the address that the Assessor's Office uses adding that taxes on the property have not been paid since 1996. Mr. Brown doesn't even know if he's alive. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 4 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 Commissioner Owsley said that he understands the goals and purposes of this, but the difficulty he has with it is going onto his land with a Court Order and then putting a lien on it. He is reluctant to do that. He said that his preference would be for staff to do what is necessary to contact Mr. Christensen in person through whatever means Mr. Brown can muster, including sending Mr. Brown to Salt Lake City as this is where the address is from the Assessor's office. Mr. Brown wanted Commissioner Owsley to know that staff is following Colorado Law every step of the way regarding this issue. Vice-Chair Newman opened the hearing to public comment.

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 5 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 Ms. Holcomb gave her presentation to the board as outlined in her staff memorandum. It was noted that Mr. Coombs came before the board voluntarily as this is something new to the 2006 Land Use Code. Mr. Clarke added that Mr. Coombs has been operating under a Forest Service Permit for years but became aware of the County's requirements and voluntarily came in to apply. A letter in support of this application arrived in the Clerk's office on May 26, 2009 from John G. Swomley on behalf of himself and Marjorie C. Swomley and presented to the Commissioners for today's meeting. A copy of this letter is attached to the meeting packet material.

LAND USE ACTIONS: FIRST READING ON RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BELLOCK REQUEST FOR A MAJOR PLAT AMENDMENT ACTIVITY ENVELOPE SITE PLAN AND SEPCIAL REVIEW FOR A CDU -MOTION TO APPROVE ON FIRST READING WITH STAFF DIRECTION, AND SET SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING TO JUNE 10, 2009 STAFF: CART ANNE HOLCOMB, PLANNER APPLICANT/REPRESENTATIVE: Charles Bellock APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant originally proposed to amend a condition of approval that limits the floor area on Stillwater Ranch, Lot 4 to 6,500 square feet to allow for aday-lighted basement, to designate the activity envelope (replacing previously approved building and development envelopes) and Site Plan Review, and reestablish a Special Review for a CDU to align all vesting dates for the property to the same expiration date. The applicant requested and received the same essential approval in 2004. Vesting expired in July 2007. Although the applicant holds valid Building Permits for both the single family dwelling and the CDU, the economic downturn has prompted this request in order to postpone the construction process. Following the initial P&Z Commission meeting, the applicant modified his proposal to the following amendments: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 6 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 ? Increase the maximum allowable floor area from 6,500 square feet to 7,600 square feet (reduced from the original request and approval of 8,600 square feet) which includes a reduction of approximately 600 square feet on the main level and approximately 400 square feet of the day lighted basement area from the center of the house (both in width and length) while limiting the calculated below grade space to 1,900 square feet and maintaining a garage exemption of 750 square feet (10,250 square feet total). This is the allowed gross floor area configured in such a way to create more non-exempt floor area. These changes are reflected in Condition #5 of the final draft Resolution. ? Enlarge the originally approved building envelope (Resolution 94.156) by approximately 566 square feet and shift the envelope slightly to the south and merge it with the sub sequential approved development envelope (Resolution 124.2004) to create a single Activity Envelope. ? Lot 4 has the right to relocate the Nellie Bird Ditch and the drainage for the pond per the Final Plat and Covenants for the Subdivision and has included the relocation in the Site Plan Review of all proposed development in accordance with the 2006 Land Use Code. The applicant is requesting a 5-year vesting time period for the development approval. Ms. Holcomb proceeded with her presentation as mirrored in her staff memorandum. Mr. Bellock then gave his presentation to the board beginning with the background on this property beginning in 1994. His presentation information can be found in the application letter from Stan Mathis to staff, along with other background documents, all of which are attached to staff's meeting packet material. The board had questions for the applicant. Commissioner Richards questioned enhancements of stream flow and riparian areas with regard to Mr. Bellock's pond. Discussion ensued on this issue. Vice-Chair Newman opened the hearing to public comment. Lance Clarke made the following suggestion with regard to Commissioner Richards' concern. He said that staff could add something specific to Condition 22 in the draft Resolution about the Landscaping Plan that staff approves having riparian enhancement factors. Commissioner Richards was acceptable to this suggestion to amend one of the conditions in the draft Resolution to address her concerns. Commissioner Owsley raised the question of whether or not there was a provision for monitoring water temperature of ponds in the Land Use Code. Everyone seemed to BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 7 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 remember discussions held during the Land Use Code amendments but in looking here and now, no one was able to find anything in the Code regarding that issue. STAFF DIRECTION -Staff will research whether or not monitoring water temperature of ponds is in the Land Use Code and only if found will it be incorporated. If not in the Code, the board can look into this item further at 2nd reading, if so desired Regarding monitoring water temperature, Commissioner Hatfield supports the goal. He is just not interested in creating a new Code connection. A discussion developed on Mr. Bellock's request fora 5-year vesting period. The board was in support of staff's recommendation of 3-years. Commissioner Hatfield approved the first reading on Resolution approving the Bellock Request for a Major Plat Amendment, Activity Envelope, Site Plan and Special Review for a CDU, with staff direction and set second reading and public hearing to June 10, 2009. Commissioner Owsley seconded the motion. Motion passed 4 to 0 with Commissioner Kay-Clapper not present. FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING ON RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BRUSH CREEK RANCH LOW IMPACT RESIDENTIAL PUD CONCEPTUAL SUBMISSION. 1041 HAZARD REVIEW, SCENIC OVERLAY REVIEW AND GMQS EXEMPTION; DENYING THE SPECIAL REVIEW FOR TDRs FOR ADDITIONAL FLOOR AREA; AND LISTING THE HISTORIC RESOURES TO THE HISTORIC INVENTORY (Droste Family Interests) -MOTION TO CONTINUE FIRST READING TO JUNE 24, 2009 WITH DIRECTION TO APPLICANT (Site visit scheduled for June 15, 20091 STAFF: SUZANNE WOLFF, SENIOR PLANNER APPLICANT: Droste Family Interests APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: Francis Krizmanich APPLICANT'S REQUEST: The applicant is request to create 11 lots (10 new, plus the Homestead parcel) pursuant to the Low Impact Residential (LIR) Planned Unit Development (PUD) option. Each 80-acre lot in the LIR Zone District is exempt from growth management up to 8,250 square feet. The applicant also proposes to construct an access road and a looped driveway. The following approvals are requested and required: ? 1041 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission and Scenic Overlay Review to establish building envelopes and access roads/driveways Low Impact Residential Planned Unit Development BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 8 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 ? GMQS Exemption and Special Review to establish the new lots as TDR receiver sites, each of which will accommodate in excess of 8,250 and up to 15,000 square feet of floor area The original application was submitted in February 2005; therefore, the application is being processed pursuant to the "old" Land Use Code that was in effect when the application was submitted. Supplemental information was provided by the applicant in June 2006 and December 2008. The most current site plans and access road/driveway plans are included with the December 2008 supplement. Suzanne Wolff proceeded with her presentation to the board as mirrored in her staff memorandum. Staff's recommendation is as follows: given that the applicant has not provided information that the Planning Commission requested prior to review by the BOCC (height limitation matrix and request to vary the vertical curve standard in the Asset Management Plan), staff recommends that the BOCC continue the first reading to June 24, 2009, which will be subsequent to the site visit. The draft Resolution (attached to staff's packet material) reflects the following recommendations from staff and the Planning Commission: • To deny the Special Review for TDRs for additional floor area up to 15,000 square feet • To list the historic resources (homestead house and barn on Parcel 11) on the historic inventory. • To approve the Brush Creek Ranch Low Impact Residential PUD Conceptual Submission, 1041 Hazard Review and GMQS Exemption, subject to conditions. The outstanding issues, as shown in Ms. Wolff's staff memorandum in further detail, were: ? Access Road/Driveway Loop ? Building Site Locations ? Visual Impact/Building Heights ? Dogs (dogs prohibited on Lots 1-10) ? Hunting ? Parks/Recreation/Open Space Exaction (Open Space & Trails wants a requirement for the dedication of an 8' soft surface trail easement parallel to the existing hard surface) ? Horse facilities The board had questions for staff. Those questions were with regard to: Sufficient water supply ? High impacts with this application Y Horse riding on Seven Star , ~ Habitat mapping Y Visual impacts BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 9 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 Y Wildlife impacts and mapping ? 'Larger context maps Further input on access road Francis Krizmanich, applicant's representative, introduced Peter Droste and Bruce Droste, owners of the property who hold title in the name of Droste Family Interests. Mr. Krizmanich turned in the Affidavit of property posting to the Clerk to the Board. Mr. Krizmanich responded to the questions the board had for staff. His responses were as follows: ? Low Impact Zoning -they are doing 80-acre lots rather than 10-acre lots that they were zoned for previously. ? Water sufficiency and quality -met and provided necessary Code requirements NOTE: Later in the meeting Peter Droste mentions that the water will have to be treated, in the houses, as it will be hard. ? 926 acres - 10 home sites ? Horses - he doesn't know about access to Seven Star, he's never considered it. But, if the general public is allowed with horses on Seven Star, he thinks that they could utilize it, too. He said that they did propose to have horses and he thought that they were approved by the Planning Commission, but he'll have to check to see if there was an approval for that. ? Habitat mapping - he said that the entire property is mapped as critical habitat, which precludes development. When confronted with what are the facts of critical habitat, the DOW has significantly backed off from that mapping, which was applied to that property by the BOCC in the mid-70's, not the DOW. It was meant to stymie development on the property. The property does contain, according to the DOW, - - - it doesn't meet their written standard, but according to their field officers they consider the south slopes above the Owl Creek Subdivision to be the critical winter range. The reason he says it's not is that critical winter range, as defined by the DOW, is 200% of the surrounding area of density of wildlife in the most critical winter out of 10. We've had a couple of those just recently. There's way less than that density of elk on that property. There's too much snow and this property is too high of an altitude. It is, in his mind, most critically important as a migration route. And, he continued, the migration routes are principally preserved through Seven Star and the 99-acre Droste easement to Pitkin County. That's what that 99-acre easement was for. It was for the main migration route. That is preserved. This property is 2-miles in length. 1/8t" of the entire linear length of the property may be affected. It certainly does not block any migration routes which is what the Code talks about. It does not fractionalize habitat either because there's a direct and uninterrupted route from Burnt Mountain across this property to Wildcat, across Watson Divide and down to his neighborhood in Old Snowmass which is where these elk end up in the winter. He doesn't understand how Commissioner Hatfield still defines this BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 10 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 as high impact. He said that his opinion is that the wildlife is a concern, certainly, but they've done what they need to do to address that concern. ? Visibility - He said that at that time, the Code spoke to breaking a ridgeline, simply breaking a ridgeline. He said that they have 3 ridgeline issues that someone mentioned was brought up by the woman from Design Workshop and that was a concern to the Owl Creek people. He said that they are not visible from Owl Creek at any point. They are not visible from Highway 82 at any point. They are not even visible from Brush Creek Road. He showed the board a computer analysis (in the meeting packet material). There were some visibility hits from the County GIS Department. He said that Peter Droste provided the more accurate information that he created through his radar mapping to the County GIS Department. First they did a visual analysis with sight line, typical engineering cross sections and the County asked for more than that. They did aerial mapping, laser mapping. This is the most accurately mapped topography in the County at this time, right now, today. He continued on by saying that the problem was there were hits they could not figure out. He said that when Mary Lackner in GIS did her analysis there were red spots across some of the building envelopes which indicated that you could see it. It didn't indicate how much you could see and it didn't look right because it was showing up in the middle of buildings and places that it shouldn't show up. What Peter Droste found was a glitch in the ESRI software. They found an earlier version of that software that they applied and the results are in the meeting packet which Mr. Krizmanich referred to. The red is visible and the green is not. He added that not only do they not break the ridgeline, you can't see them. Requests for additional information from the applicant were as follows and will be responded to by the next meeting scheduled for June 24, 2009: ? Larger context maps on current residences on Owl Creek Ranch and Seven Sta r ? Most current DOW wildlife mapping for winter range, migration corridors, calving areas ? New Access Road -Commissioner Hatfield would like further input ? Retaining walls, are there any and if so, how high are they ? How have wildlife recommendations been addressed on the Site Plan ? Driveway Loop -Commissioner Richards would like to evaluate if Lots 10, 9, and 4 were relocated on the site if that would eliminate a lot of the need for the loop connection -would that be beneficial to wildlife movements. NOTE: Mr. Krizmanich said that if you eliminate the loop you have to go to a wider, standard road. It's so far up the hill he doesn't know without doing it. ? Use of an independent wildlife opinion NOTE: Mr. Krizmanich responded that they wouldn't be opposed to that request, but they want to be included in the choice of that person ? Show that this site can accommodate 10 lots with regard to wildlife BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 11 REGULAR MEETING MAY 27, 2009 ? Access Road -Commissioner Hatfield would like to be educated further during the site visit ? Excavation material - Mr. Krizmanich said that he thinks that they could retain that material on the property Commissioner Owsley moved to continue the first reading and public hearing to June 24, 2009. Commissioner Hatfield seconded the motion. Vice-Chair Newman opened the hearing to public comment. There being none, he closed the public hearing and called the question. Motion to continue the first reading and public hearing to June 24, 2009 passed 4 to 0 with Commissioner Kay-Clapper not present. At this time, Vice-Chair Newman closed the public hearings opened earlier in this meeting. BOCC OPEN DISCUSSION: Ms. Fletcher had no issues to discuss with the board today. Vice-Chair Newman spoke to the Town of Basalt/Eagle County Commissioners meeting that he attended regarding Mid Valley Land Use Planning. NOTE: Commissioner Richards suggested sending referral comments from Pitkin County (the BOCC) and the Community Development Department. Vice-Chair Newman also commented on his opportunity to chat with the Eagle County Commissioners about the BLM/Sutey Exchange. Commissioner Owsley commented on an email he received from Andy Wisner yesterday. He forwarded it to the County Manager, Hilary Fletcher and asked him if he would forward all of his emails to her instead of sending them to the individual Commissioners. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Richards moved to adjourn the regular meeting at 3:35 PM. Commissioner Owsley seconded the motion. Motion passed 4 to 0 with Commissioner Kay-Clapper not present.
