The lines are connected to the recently completed Highlands Interconnect and will receive service upon use of the interconnect system. APPLICANT: Aspen Independent School District APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: Banner Associates, Robert Daniel, Jr. LOCATION: The new water line traverses the campus site from its northerly boundary, adjacent to the running track/bus barn, south to an existing water line near the Middle School. A second segment lies along the western campus boundary adjacent to Maroon Creek Road, and extends generally south approximately 2250 linear feet, parallel to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints eastern property line, on the Moore parcel. ZONING: School Campus/Moore Property: AF-2 PUD ISSIIES: The School District seeks 1041 approval for an Activity of State and Local Interest as defined in Section 5-407 of the Land Use Code. 1041 approval is required for site selection and construction of major extensions of domestic water systems, including any new service line 6" or greater in diameter. The District has installed a new 12" water line within its campus and extending generally south across the Moore property, connecting to the recently completed Highlands Interconnect line also located on portions of the Moore site. The 12" line was sized for optimum fire flows, and will correct the existing substandard service provided to the campus. The State issued building permit requires the local Fire Marshall to certify adequate fire flows, prior to the issuance of occupancy permits. The new 12" line servicing the bus barn has been extended to the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way. This extension is consistent with City Water Department preference to extend services to edges of parcel boundaries in the event looped service becomes available along the road corridor. This may, however, result in some growth inducement to the undeveloped portion of the Moore parcel located across Maroon Creek Road from the school's track. Staff believes this impact will be minimal. Issues for potential mitigation, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, include revegetation of the pipeline corridor and best efforts by the School District to pursue raw water for irrigation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of 1041 review for an Activity of State and Local Interest for the extension of 12" water lines to and on the Aspen Independent School District campus, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. Adequate revegetation shall occur along the water line route consistent with the "City of Aspen Revegetation Specifications for Buttermilk Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Meadowood and Red Mountain" prepared by Design Workshop, Inc. dated June S, 1990. The applicant shall provide financial securities in an amount satisfactory to complete the revegetation, and shall be in a form acceptable to the County Attorney. Initial revegetation shall be completed prior to November 1, 1991. 2. The applicant shall submit as-built construction plans to the County Planning Office. 3. All material representations made by the applicant in the application and in public meetings shall be adhered to. The Aspen Independent School District shall make best efforts to pursue raw water for campus irrigation purposes. TO: PITKIN COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Regular Meetinq - September 24, 1991 THRU: Reid Haughey, County Manager Amy Margerum, Planning Director RE: Aspen Independent School District Water Line 1041 Review FROM: Suzanne Konchan, Planning Office REQOEST: The Aspen Independent School District requests approval for a new 12" water lines to serve the school campus on Maroon Creek Road. The lines are connected to the partially completed Highlands Interconnect and will receive service upon completion of the interconnect system. APPLICANT: Aspen Independent School District APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: Banner Associates, Robert Daniel, Jr. LOCATION: The new water line traverses the campus site from its northerly boundary, adjacent to the running track/bus barn, south to an existing water line near the Middle School. A second segment lies along the western campus boundary adjacent to Maroon Creek Road, and extends generally south approximately 2250 linear feet, parallel to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints eastern property line, on the Moore parcel. ZONING: School Campus/Moore Property: AF-2 PUD ACCESS: Maroon Creek Road DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The School District seeks 1041 approval for an Activity of State and Local Interest as defined in Section 5-407 of the Land Use Code. 1041 approval is required for site selection and construction of major extensions of domestic water systems, including any new service line 6" or greater in diameter. The District has recently installed a new 12" water line within its campus and extending generally south across the Moore property, connecting to the partially completed Highlands Interconnect line also located on the Moore site. The District has obtained an easement from the Moores, and is negotiating with the Aspen Water District for final approval and authority to connect to the Highland Interconnect. The lines 'will be surveyed and an easement will be granted to the Aspen Water Department for perpetual maintenance and ownership of the improvements. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION: On August 13, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the project to the BOCC. The recommendations forwarded in this memo reflect the P&Z Commission's action. BACRGRODND: The existing water line serving the School campus provides marginal fire protection for the campus, and was incapable of providing both domestic and fire protection service for the new elementary school building. The campus is currently served by a 6" waterline via the Meadowood Subdivision that traverses the Moore property. The system is not "looped" and therefore does not meet the 8" standard for non-looped systems with fire hydrants. As required by the State issued school building permit, the local Fire Marshall must certify that adequate fire flows exist prior to issuance of occupancy permits. To meet fire standards, increased fire flows at the hydrants adjacent to the structures must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshall, Wayne Vandemark. The recently completed 12" line will upgrade service to the site, and bring the campus into compliance with fire flow and domestic system standards. An additional segment of the line, running from the Middle School north to Maroon Creek Road, will also provide fire protection to the existing bus barn/maintenance facility, and extend beyond this structure to the Maroon Creek right-of-way. REFERRAL COMMENTS: ENVIRONMENTAL REALTR DEPARTMENT: In a memo dated July 20, 1991 (Attachment 'B'), Environmental Health confirms that the line improves the service quality to the campus and conforms to all pertinent regulations. The memo does state that the line should be placed over, rather than under, an existing sewer line located south of the new elementary school. According to Bob Daniel, the line was placed over the sewer line, with at least 18" of vertical distance separating the two lines (personal communication, 8/7/91). The placement will be verified upon completion of as-built drawings. Based on Mr. Daniel's representation, the line conforms to accepted public health and engineering practices. ASPEN WATER DISTRICT: Larry Ballenger, Director of Water, confirms that the project can be served by the District as proposed; however, the school will be required to follow all provisions of the City of Aspen Municipal Codes and Policies of the Aspen Water District. It is staff's understanding that connection to the Highland Interconnect was completed without City of Aspen authorization, and ongoing negotiations are underway to resolve service issues. The City of Aspen has recntly completed the pipeline construction of the Interconnect. Planning Staff Comments Activity of State and Local Interest: Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission concur that additional services are necessary to provide a safe environment at the school campus. The existing 6" water line cannot provide adequate service to the project, and must be supplemented or replaced to meet minimum fire flow and volume capacities. According to the project engineer, the 6" line will be cut and plugged (p. 11, project application) upon commencement of service from the Highland Interconnect. While the new system will not be "looped", extension of a 12" segment by the bus/maintenance barn technically complies with Water Department policies for extension of systems to property boundaries (in anticipation of future service extensions). This spur segment extends roughly 320 feet from the Middle School building. Initially, plans submitted to the Planning Office did not show connection or installation of school services onto the spur segment. The project engineer has stated that the addition of a hydrant improvement to this spur was an engineering oversight, and should have been indicated. In order to secure easement agreements across the Moore's parcel south of the campus, the District had agreed to construct this segment to facilitate future water service to the Moore parcel, across Maroon Creek Road. This is verified in two letters submitted in the appendix to the application (letters from Bob Daniel (dated 2/14/91) and John Keleher (dated 6/5/91), on behalf of the School District, to Tom Moore). These letters state that the District will install an "Extension for future Moore property development" (Daniel letter to Moore, exhibit 'A'). The site is located within the Castle/Maroon Creek planning area, and will be addressed during the Master Planning process currently underway. Revised drawings of the water line now show the installation of a fire hydrant near the bus barn structure, which will improve fire protection to this existing structure. The spur segment extends approximately 75' past the barn to the edge of the Maroon Creek right-of-way. As revised, the spur segment will legitimately improve fire protection for the school campus, and the 75' extension complies with long-term improvement policies of the Water Department. The line will, however, also facilitate development on the Moore site. Water service options also exist from the Hwy 82 corridor, but as discussed by Bob Daniel in a letter dated May 13, 1991 (Attachment 'D'), due to elevation gains from the Castle Creek intersection, insufficient pressure may prevent adequate fire flows. While it is not possible to fully predict future water service to the area, it is conceivable that a looped system may be constructed to service the Moore site and the adjacent area. From a growth inducement perspective, the new spur segment does facilitate the ultimate development of the Moore site. However, given the fact that this neighborhood is within the metro area, and water line service is provided in the near vicinity of the Moore site, it seems unlikely that extension of services would be considered a threshold issue for planning purposes. Policy 2-10 addresses the County's policy on logical extension of utilities. The policy is included in its entirety in Attachment 'E'. This policy is more specifically implemented via the code's General Regulations, Section 5-203. This section states: 5-203.1 Guidelines for Adainistratioa In order to show conformance with Section 2-10, any application shall show, where applicable: (a) That areas unsuited for development are not unnecessarily traversed by utility extensions. (b) That any utility pattern remains compact or becomes more compact as a result of such extension. (c) That there exists or will soon exist, as a direct result of the proposal or otherwise, sufficient demand for the utility extension adequate to support its costs without jeopardising the financial integrity of the remainder of the system. (d) That the area to be served fs suitable for the type and amount of development necessary to support the service or likely to result from the extension. (e) That the alignment, design and construction of the extension will not require abnormal construction or maintenance and will conform with existing service plans and land use plans and is such that it is capable of servicing the ultimate use levels anticipated within its logical service areas. (f) That the extension is compatible with the pattern of availability of other utilities and services and creates areas within which a full range of necessary services and utilities are offered rather than an increase in the size or number of areas to which some necessary services and utilities are provided and others are not. (g) That the volume, nature and timing of the use of such an extension will not result in overloads oa other components of the same system such as energy resources, main transmission lines, or storage or treatment facilities. (h) That the extension meets applicable engineering standards of the State and Pitkin County. (i) That the extension has been approved or is likely to be approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, if such approval is required. Since the lines have been installed and sized to meet fire flow requirements of the School campus, staff believes the project complies with the pertinent provisions of this section. The spur line is extended slightly beyond the physical location necessary to serve the campus (to the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way). This extension is supported by the Water Department, and is insubstantial in terms of utility extensions. Section 5-407.2 (Guidelines for Administration of Activities of State and Local Interest) states that extensions of domestic water systems shall be permitted in those areas in which the anticipated growth and development can be accommodated within the financial and environmental capacity of the area. The new line crosses portions of the Moore site located south of the school site. The site is within the metro area and is generally appropriate for utility extensions. The appropriate level of development, however, for the Moore site is undetermined, and will be better understood after completion of a Master Plan for the neighborhood. While the new line will be adequate to service eventual build-out of the Moore site (project application, pg. 13), it is also the minimum sizing necessary to assure fire protection at the level determined by the Fire Marshall. In balance, staff and the P&Z Comission finds that the project is consistent with this provision of the code. Section 5-407.2(1) requires efficient use of water. The School District has committed to seek alternative water supplies for irrigation purposes, including raw water for irrigation of landscaped areas. Utilization of raw water could result in significant water savings, given the extensive lawn areas surrounding the campus. The County P&Z therefore added condition #4 during their review of the application. This condition seeks to ensure that the School District will pursue raw water services. Staff is concerned with guaranteed and appropriate revegetation, especially in light of the recent controversies surrounding the Highland Interconnect project. The line avoids 1041 hazard areas and did not require substantial vegetation removal. It did, however, cross undeveloped meadow areas and should be reseeded. In the adjacent Highlands Interconnect project, the County required a revegetation plan and associated financial securities of the City of Aspen to assure the corridor would be reclaimed. It appears that the School District had to remove some the City's revegetation efforts to construct the portion of the line closest to the Highlands Interconnect. Staff understands that the School District has agreed to revegetate that area to the City specifications. Staff recommends that the project be conditioned to require revegetation of the entire line to the specifications of the Highlands Interconnect route. These specifications are included as Attachment 'F', and have been prepared by Design Workshop, Inc. Standard practice would dictate that the applicant post a financial security to assure satisfactory revegetation. As part of the Planning and Zoning Commissions review of the Highlands Interconnect line, a recommendation was forwarded to the BOCC encouraging the City to obtain trail easements within the water line easements on the Moore property. SOMMARY: The applicant is requesting after-the-fact approval for installation of a 12" water line from the Highlands Interconnect line, approximately 3200 feet north to the school campus. An additional spur line has also been constructed on the school campus, extending from the Middle School to the Maroon Creek Road. While the line could facilitate development on the Moore site, it is not a significant growth inducement. The project will improve fire service to the existing campus, as well as the newly constructed elementary school, and will allow the Fire Marshall to consent to the school's occupancy. The line installation has disturbed native grass and meadow areas, and should be adequately revegetated. There is an ongoing controversy between the City of Aspen and the School District over the unauthorized connection to the Highlands Interconnect line, and the payment of tap fees (Attachment 'G'). Evidence should be submitted by the applicant that this issue has been resolved before BOCC final approval. The Planning and Zoning Commission, acting in their role as a recommending body on Activities of State and Local Interest, has forwarded an approval recomendation subject to the four conditions provided in the Recommendation section of this memo. RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of 1041 review for an Activity of State and Local Interest for the extension of 12" water lines to and on the Aspen Independent School District campus, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. Adequate revegetation shall occur along the water line route consistent with the "City of Aspen Revegetation Specifications for Buttermilk Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Meadowood and Red Mountain" prepared by Design Workshop, Inc. dated June 8, 1990. The applicant shall provide financial securities in an amount satisfactory to complete the revegetation, and shall be in a form acceptable to the County Attorney. Initial revegetation shall be completed prior to November 1, 1991. The applicant shall submit as-built construction plans to the County Planning Office. All material representations made by the applicant in the application and in public meetings shall be adhered to. The Aspen Independent School District shall make best efforts to pursue raw water for campus irrigation purposes.

To date, it has been the understanding of the Aspen Independent School District that due to the School District's status, a local permit is not necessary to excavate for the installation of underground facilities. Operating under this position, the District has been working with the Aspen Water Department, Aspen Fire Protection District, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, City of Aspen City Manager, Aspen City Council, the Moore Family, the Highlands Subdivision and Pitkin County Public Works to enable this project to be constructed. The Pitkin County Planning Department unfortunately has not been involved because of the School District's status and quite frankly, our omission due to that status. I am enclosing a complete outline which addresses the project need, planned improvements and other pertinent information. Also enclosed is a set of construction drawings. John Keleher, owners representative for the School District, and I are available to answer any questions or comments that you may have. Sincerely, ~7/'1~~ Robert Daniel, Jr., P.E. Aspen Projects Director BANNER ASSOCIATES, INC. Enclosure cc: John Keleher RED:clk wp-doc\8230\8230-1et.ch BA N N E R ASPEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WATERLINE ERTENSION IntroBuotion As a part of the development of the new Aspen Elementary School, it became obvious that the existing water system at the District campus area did not provide adequate fire protection for the new facility and the protection for the existing facility is questionable. Prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy, the Aspen Fire Protection District Marshall determined that additional fire flow (water for fire protection) must be obtained by the School District. Also as a part of the extension of on-site water lines, the School District was required to bring additional flow to the campus area. This was initially proposed via a twelve inch (12" main extension in the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way from the intersection at Castle Creek Road. This extension has been a part of the Aspen Water Department long range plan to improve current service to the District facilities. Desicin Alternatives John Keleher, on behalf of the School District, entered into a contract with Banner Associates to investigate and provide design alternatives to meet the requirements of the obligations of the District. '~ In investigating the proposed Water Department long range plan ;;' for an extension up Maroon Creek Road, two obvious problems ~;'"~ _'`~i emerged. First, the twelve inch (12") waterline extension would $ provide adequate volume (flow) but not provide adequate pressure for the proposed elementary fire sprinkler system. This is due to the elevation gain from the Castle Creek intersection to the elementary school. To use this alternative, an internal fire pump would have to be installed to provide adequate pressure for the sprinkler system. Secondly, due to requirements of Pitkin County Public Works Department, the waterline would have to be constructed outside the paved surface of Maroon Creek Road. This would necessitate destruction and reconstruction of existing vegetation, slopes, bike paths and drainage facilities. Not to mention the inconvenience and disruption to traffic, utilities and pedestrians along Maroon Creek Road. Given these problems, Banner investigated alternative methods for meeting the District obligations. With the assistance of Larry Ballenger of the Aspen Water Department, a solution was found in connecting to the twelve inch (12") Highlands Interconnect waterline. This solution would not only meet the objectives of the School District, but minimize impact to the community by avoiding construction in the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way. BAN N E R Planned Improvements Once the Highlands Interconnect alternative selection was made, there were additional issues to be addressed. To reach the School District property from the existing Highland Interconnect line involves crossing the Moore property. The School District has been granted an easement by the Moores to construct this line on their property. This easement will be conveyed to the Water Department upon. completion of an as-built survey of the line and preparation of legal descriptions and exhibits. In reaching this agreement with the Moores, it became obvious that to place the waterline immediately adjacent to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints property line would minimize any impact and disturbance of vegetation. Once the line reaches the south boundary of the District property, it will run adjacent to the Maroon Creek Road right-of- way until it connects to the existing line at the elementary school. On the twelve inch (12") waterline, an eight inch (8") tee will be provided for use at the proposed Aspen Country Day School campus on the west side of Maroon Creek Road. This will provide adequate water flows for consumption and fire protection should the ---- campus be developed. Finally, a connection will be made to the existing waterline on the north side of the middle school. This connection will be extended to the south right-of-way line of Maroon Creek Road near the bus barn and maintenance facility. Upon completion of the line, an easement will be granted to the Aspen Water Department for the perpetual maintenance and ownership of the improvements. All of the improvements are being placed in accordance with Aspen Water requirements and specifications. The proposed routing described above provides equal or better service characteristics of the Aspen Water Department original expansion. There will be considerably less impact upon the community by avoiding construction in Maroon Creek Road as well as improved service pressure and flow by connection to the Highlands Interconnect. Also, the future service needs of the Aspen Country Day School will be met as a part of this system extension. Additional Benefits The extension of this system obviously benefits the School District by providing fire protection for not only the elementary school, but improved flows and pressures for the entire campus. Also, the Aspen Water Department has the service needs of an area improved without any capital expenditure. Another previously unmentioned benefit of this project is the School District's commitment to creation of an irrigation system from raw water. Through communication with the Aspen City Council via Larry Ballenger, Carol O'Dowd and Robert Gish, the School District has made a commitment to design an irrigation system that facilitates the use of non-potable water for irrigation of the campus site. It is the District's hope that this system can somehow include cooperation to include Iselin Park and the proposed Aspen Country Day School on the west side of Maroon Creek Road. BAN N E R summarv Though the Planning Office may have been unaware of this project, the District has made every attempt to notify and work in cooperation with those affected by the Project. Alan Schwartz and Jody Edwards of the Aspen Highlands Water and Sanitation District (as well as residents in the Highlands Subdivision) have been kept informed of the project and are aware of the proposed construction. The Moore family has been extremely cooperative and helpful in enabling the District to solve some of the initial service problems. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been kept informed and are aware of the District's plans. The Aspen Water Department, Aspen City Manager's office, Aspen Public Works Department and Aspen City Council have been helpful in enabling the current moratorium on water main extensions to be waived for this project. This is due to the fact that this project has been required to provide adequate fire protection for the elementary school and the commitment of the District to use raw water for irrigation purposes. ATTACHMENT 'G' a. ~: L- ~L2Y r: 2-10 Logical Extension of Utilities It is the policy of the County to discourage utility extensions to areas 3 not suitableforthetypeoramountofdevelopmentnecessarytosupport the service or which is likely to result from such extension. It is also the policy of the County to regulate extensions in a manner which will ensure that utility resources will be constrained to areas of, or adjacent to, existing development and areas suited to development consistent with other policies of the County and that such areas should be provided the full complement of necessary public utilities ratherthan to create many areas which are not fully serviced and are premature for the development contemplated. It is also the policy of the County to discourage extensions which are not financially viable without public expenditures which would otherwise not be made to extend or upgrade components of the system or for increased maintenance or operating needs; to discourage duplication of major lines or treatment facilities; to discourage extensions and development which would be subjected to abnormal construction, maintenance or operating costs due to topographical, soil or geological conditions; and to discourage extensions of which the cost-including environmental-exceeds the general benefit to be pained thereby.

The lines are connected to the partially completed Highlands Interconnect and will receive service upon completion of the interconnect system. APPLICANT: Aspen Independent School District APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: Banner Associates, Robert Daniel, Jr. LOCATION: The new water line traverses the campus site from its northerly boundary, adjacent to the running track/bus barn, south to an existing water line near the Middle School. A second segment lies along the western campus boundary adjacent to Maroon Creek Road, and extends generally south approximately 2250 linear feet, parallel to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints eastern property line, on the Moore parcel. ZONING: School Campus/Moore Property: AF-2 PUD ACCESS: Maroon Creek Road DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The School District seeks 1041 approval for an Activity of State and Local Interest as defined in Section 5-407 of the Land Use Code. 1041 approval is required for site selection and construction of major extensions of domestic water systems, including any new service line 6" or greater in diameter. The District has recently installed a new 12" water line within its campus and extending generally south across the Moore property, connecting to the partially completed Highlands Interconnect line also located on the Moore site. The District has obtained an easement from the Moores, and is negotiating with the Aspen Water District for final approval and authority to connect to the Highland Interconnect. The lines will be surveyed and an easement will be granted to the Aspen Water Department for perpetual maintenance and ownership of the improvements. BACKGROUND: The existing water line serving the School campus provides marginal fire protection for the campus, and was incapable of providing both domestic and fire protection service for the new ~_ elementary school building. The campus is currently served by a 6" waterline via the Meadowood Subdivision that traverses the Moore property. The system is not "looped" and therefore does not meet the 8" standard for non-looped systems with fire hydrants. As required by the State issued school building permit, the local Fire Marshall must certify that adequate fire flows exist prior to issuance of occupancy permits. To meet fire standards, increased fire flows at the hydrants adjacent to the structures must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Fire Marshall, Wayne Vandemark. The recently completed 12" line will upgrade service to the site, and bring the campus into compliance with fire flow and domestic system standards. An additional segment of the line, running from the Middle School north to Maroon Creek Road, will also provide fire protection to the existing bus barn/maintenance facility, and extend beyond this structure to the Maroon Creek right-of-way. REFERRAL COMMENTS: ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT: In a memo dated July 20, 1991 (Attachment 'B'), Environmental Health confirms that the line improves the service quality to the campus and conforms to all pertinent regulations. The memo does state that the line should be placed over, rather than under, an existing sewer line located south of the new elementary school. According to Bob Daniel, the line was placed over the sewer line, with at least 18" of vertical distance separating the two lines (personal communication, 8/7/91). The placement will be verified upon completion of as-built drawings. Based on Mr. Daniel's representation, the line conforms to accepted public health and engineering practices. ASPEN HATER DISTRICT: Larry Ballenger, Director of Water, confirms that the project can be served by the District as proposed; however, the school will be required to follow all provisions of the City of Aspen Municipal Codes and Policies of the Aspen Water District. It is staff's understanding that connection to the Highland Interconnect was completed without City of Aspen authorization, and ongoing negotiations are underway to resolve service issues. Recent actions have been initiated by the City of Aspen to ensure completion of the Interconnect this construction season. OTHER REFERRALS: No comments from the County Attorney, County Engineer nor the Maroon/Castle Creek Caucus have been received as of the writing of this report. Planning Staff Comments Activity of State and Local Interest: Staff concurs that additional services are necessary to provide a safe environment at the school campus. The existing 6" water line cannot provide adequate service to the project, and must be supplemented or replaced to meet minimum fire flow and volume capacities. According to the project engineer, the 6" line will be cut and plugged (p. 11, project application) upon commencement of service from the Highland Interconnect. While the new system will not be "looped", extension of a 12" segment by the bus/maintenance barn technically complies with Water Department policies for extension of systems to property boundaries (in anticipation of future service extensions). This spur segment extends roughly 320 feet from the Middle School building. Initially, plans submitted to the Planning Office did not show connection or installation of school services onto the spur segment. In order to secure easement agreements across the Moore's parcel south of the campus, the District had agreed to construct this segment to facilitate future water service to the Moore parcel, across Maroon Creek Road. This is verified in two letters submitted in the appendix to the application (letters from Bob Daniel (dated 2/14/91) and John Keleher (dated 6/5/91), on behalf of the School District, to Tom Moore). These letters state that the District will install an "Extension for future Moore property development" (Daniel letter to Moore, exhibit 'A'). The site is located within the Castle/Maroon Creek planning area, and will be addressed during the Master Planning process currently underway. Revised drawings of the water line now show installation of a fire hydrant near the bus barn structure, which will improve fire protection to this existing structure. The spur segment extends approximately 75' past the barn to the edge of the Maroon Creek right-of-way. As revised, the spur segment will legitimately improve fire protection for the school campus, and the 75' extension complies with long-term improvement policies of the Water Department. The line will, however, also facilitate development on the Moore site. Water service options also exist from the Hwy 82 corridor, but as discussed by Bob Daniel in a letter dated May 13, 1991 (Attachment 'D'), due to elevation gains from the Castle Creek intersection, insufficient pressure may prevent adequate fire flows. While it is not possible to fully predict future water service to the area, it is conceivable that a looped system may be constructed to service the Moore site and the adjacent area. From a growth inducement perspective, the new spur segment does facilitate the ultimate development of the Moore site. However, given the fact that this neighborhood is within the metro area, and water line service is provided in the near vicinity of the Moore site, it seems unlikely that extension of services would be considered a threshold issue for planning purposes. Policy 2-10 addresses the County's policy on logical extension of utilities. The policy is included in its entirety in Attachment 'E'. This policy is more specifically implemented via the code's General Regulations, Section 5-203. This section states: 5-403.1 Omidelines for a ~+~+stration Ia order to show conformance with Section 2-10, sny application shall show, where applicable: (a) That areas unsuited for development are not unnecessarily traversed by utility extensions. (b) That any utility pattern remains compact or becomes more compact as a result of such extension. (c) That there exists or will noon exist, as a direct result of the proposal or otharwi:e, sufficient demand for the utility extension adequate to support its costs without jeopardiaiag the financial integrity of the remainder of the system. (d) That the area to be served is suitable for the type and amount of development necessary to support the service or likely to result from the extension. (e) That the alignment, design and construction of the extension will not require abnormal construction or maintenance and will conform with existing service plans and land use plans and is such that it is capable of servicing the ultimate use levels anticipated within its logical service areas. (f) That the extension is compatible with the pattern of availability of other utilities and services and creates areas within which a full range of necessary services and utilities are offered rather than as increase in the size or number of areas to which some necessary services and utilities are provided and others era not. (g) That the volume, nature and timing of the use of such an extension will not result in overloads on other components of the same system such as energy resources, main transmission lines, or storage or treatment facilities. (h) That the extension meets applicable engineering standards of the State and Pitkia County. (i) That the extension has been approved or is likely to be approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, if such approval is required. Since the lines have been installed and sized to meet fire flow requirements of the School campus, staff believes the project complies with the pertinent provisions of this section. The spur line is extended slightly beyond the physical location necessary to serve the campus (to the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way). This extension is supported by the water Department, and is insubstantial in terms of utility extensions. Section 5-407.2 (Guidelines for Administration of Activities of State and Local Interest) states that extensions of domestic water systems shall be permitted in those areas in which the anticipated growth and development can be accommodated within the financial and environmental capacity of the area. The new line crosses portions of the Moore site located south of the school site. The site is within the metro area and is generally appropriate for utility extensions. The appropriate level of development, however, for the Moore site is undetermined, and will be better understood after completion of a Master Plan for the neighborhood. While the new line will be adequate to service eventual build-out of the Moore site (project application, pg. 13), it is also the minimum sizing necessary to assure fire protection at the level determined by the Fire Marshall. In balance, staff finds that the project is consistent with this provision of the code. Section 5-407.2(1) requires efficient use of water. The School District has committed to seek alternative water supplies for irrigation purposes, including raw water for irrigation of landscaped areas. Utilization of raw water could result in significant water savings, given the extensive lawn areas surrounding the campus. The Commission may wish to consider requiring the District to pursue this commitment. Staff is concerned with guaranteed and appropriate revegetation, especially in light of the recent controversies surrounding the Highland Interconnect project. The line avoids 1041 hazard areas and did not require substantial vegetation removal. It did, however, cross undeveloped meadow areas and should be reseeded. In the adjacent Highlands Interconnect project, the County required a revegetation plan and associated financial securities of the City of Aspen to assure the corridor would be reclaimed. It appears that the School District had to remove some the City's revegetation efforts to construct the portion of the line closest to the Highlands Interconnect. Staff understands that the School District has agreed to revegetate that area to the City specifications. Staff recommends that the project be conditioned to require revegetation of the entire line to the specifications of the Highlands Interconnect route. These specifications are included as Attachment 'F', and have been prepared by Design Workshop, Inc. Standard practice would dictate that the applicant post a financial security to assure satisfactory revegetation. As part of the Planning and Zoning Commissions review of the Highlands Interconnect line, a recommendation was forwarded to the BOCC encouraging the City to obtain trail easements within the water line easements on the Moore property. SII2~IIQARY: The applicant is requesting after-the-fact approval for installation of a 12" water line from the Highlands Interconnect line, approximately 3200 feet north to the school campus. An additional spur line has also been constructed on the school campus, extending from the Middle School to the Maroon Creek Road. While the line could facilitate development on the Moore site, it is not a significant growth inducement. The project will improve fire service to the existing campus, as well as the newly constructed elementary school, and will allow the Fire Marshall to consent to the school's occupancy. The line installation has disturbed native grass and meadow areas, and should be adequately revegetated. There is an ongoing controversy between the City of Aspen and the School District over the unauthorized connection to the Highlands Interconnect line, and the payment of tap fees (Attachment 'G'). Evidence should be submitted by the applicant that this issue has been resolved before BOCC final approval. The action of the Planning and Zoning Commission on Activities of State and Local Interest are advisory only. Final approval authority lies with the BOCC. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of 1041 review for an Activity of State and Local Interest for the extension of 12" water lines to and on the Aspen Independent School District campus, subject to the following conditions of approval: 1. Adequate revegetation shall occur along the water line route consistent with the "City of Aspen Revegetation Specifications for Buttermilk Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Meadowood and Red Mountain" prepared by Design Workshop, Inc. dated June 8, 1990. The applicant shall provide financial securities in an amount satisfactory to complete the revegetation, and shall be in a form acceptable to the County Attorney. Initial revegetation shall be completed prior to November 1, 1991. 2. The applicant shall submit as-built construction plans to the County Planning Office. 3. All material representations made by the applicant in the application and in public meetings shall be adhered to.

To date, it has been the understanding of the Aspen Independent School District that due to the School District's status, a local permit is not necessary to excavate for the installation of underground facilities. Operating under this position, the District has been working with the Aspen Water Department, Aspen Fire Protection District, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, City of Aspen City Manager, Aspen City Council, the Moore Family, the Highlands Subdivision and Pitkin County Public Works to enable this project to be constructed. The Pitkin County Planning Department unfortunately has not been involved because of the School District's status and quite frankly, our omission due to that status. I am enclosing a complete outline which addresses the project need, planned improvements and other pertinent information. Also enclosed is a set of construction drawings. John Keleher, owners representative for the School District, and I are available to answer any questions or comments that you may have. Sincerely, 7~J'1~~ Robert Daniel, Jr., P.E. Aspen Projects Director BANNER ASSOCIATES, INC. Enclosure cc: John Keleher RED:clk wp-doc\8230\8230-1et.ch BA N N E R ®~ ASPEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WATERLINE E%TENSION (. Introduction As a part of the development of the new Aspen Elementary School, it became obvious that the existing water system at the District campus area did not provide adequate fire protection for the new facility and the protection for the existing facility is questionable. Prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy, the Aspen Fire Protection District Marshall determined that additional fire flow (water for fire protection) must be obtained by the School District. Also as a part of the extension of on-site water lines, the School District was required to bring additional flow to the campus area. This was initially proposed via a twelve inch (12" main extension in the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way from the intersection at Castle Creek Road. This extension has been a part of the Aspen Water Department long range plan to improve current service to the District facilities. DesicTn Alternatives John Keleher, on behalf of the School District, entered into a contract with Banner Associates to investigate and provide design alternatives to meet the requirements of the obligations of the District. In investigating the proposed Water Department long range plan for an extension up Maroon Creek Road, two obvious problems emerged. First, the twelve inch (12") waterline extension would provide adequate volume (flow) but not provide adequate pressure for the proposed elementary fire sprinkler system. This is due to the elevation gain from the Castle Creek intersection to the elementary school. To use this alternative, an internal fire pump would have to be installed to provide adequate pressure for the sprinkler system. Secondly, due to requirements of Pitkin County Public Works Department, the waterline would have to be constructed outside the paved surface of Maroon Creek Road. This would necessitate destruction and reconstruction of existing vegetation, slopes, bike paths and drainage facilities. Not to mention the inconvenience and disruption to traffic, utilities and pedestrians along Maroon Creek Road. Given these problems, Banner investigated alternative methods for meeting the District obligations. With the assistance of Larry Ballenger of the Aspen Water Department, a solution was found in connecting to the twelve inch (12") Highlands Interconnect waterline. This solution would not only meet the objectives of the School District, but minimize impact to the community by avoiding construction in the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way. BANNER Planned Zmprovements Once the Highlands Interconnect alternative selection was made, there were additional issues to be addressed. To reach the School District property from the existing Highland Interconnect line involves crossing the Moore property. The School District has been granted an easement by the Moores to construct this line on their property. This easement will be conveyed to the Water Department upon. completion of an as-built survey of the line and preparation of legal descriptions and exhibits. In reaching this agreement with the Moores, it became obvious that to place the waterline immediately adjacent to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints property line would minimize any impact and disturbance of vegetation. Once the line reaches the south boundary of the District property, it will run adjacent to the Maroon Creek Road right-of- way until it connects to the existing line at the elementary school. On the twelve inch (12") waterline, an eight inch (8") tee will be provided for use at the proposed Aspen Country Day School campus on the west side of Maroon Creek Road. This will provide adequate water flows for consumption and fire protection should the campus be developed. Finally, a connection will be made to the existing waterline on the north side of the middle school. This connection will be extended to the south right-of-way line of Maroon Creek Road near the bus barn and maintenance facility. Upon completion of the line, an easement will be granted to the Aspen Water Department for the perpetual maintenance and ownership of the improvements. All of the improvements are being placed in accordance with Aspen Water requirements and specifications. The proposed routing described above provides equal or better service characteristics of the Aspen Water Department original expansion. There will be considerably less impact upon the community by avoiding construction in Maroon Creek Road as well as improved service pressure and flow by connection to the Highlands Interconnect. Also, the future service needs of the Aspen Country Day School will be met as a part of this system extension. Additional Benefits The extension of this system obviously benefits the School District by providing fire protection for not only the elementary school, but improved flows and pressures for the entire campus. Also, the Aspen Water Department has the service needs of an area improved without any capital expenditure. Another previously unmentioned benefit of this project is the School District's commitment to creation of an irrigation system from raw water. Through communication with the Aspen City Council via Larry Ballenger, Carol O'Dowd and Robert Gish, the School District has made a commitment to design an irrigation system that facilitates the use of non-potable water for irrigation of the campus site. It is the District's hope that this system can somehow include cooperation to include Iselin Park and the proposed Aspen Country Day School on the west side of Maroon Creek Road. BAN N E R Summarv Though the Planning Office may have been unaware of this project, the District has made every attempt to notify and work in cooperation with those affected by the Project. Alan Schwartz and Jody Edwards of the Aspen Highlands Water and Sanitation District (as well as residents in the Highlands Subdivision) have been kept informed of the project and are aware of the proposed construction. The Moore family has been extremely cooperative and helpful in enabling the District to solve some of the initial service problems. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been kept informed and are aware of the District's plans. The Aspen Water Department, Aspen City Manager's office, Aspen Public Works Department and Aspen City Council have been helpful in enabling the current moratorium on water main extensions to be waived for this project. This is due to the fact that this project has been required to provide adequate fire protection for the elementary school and the commitment of the District to use raw water for irrigation purposes. ATTACHMENT 'E' §2-to 2-10 Logical Extension of Utilities It is the policy of the County to discourage utility extensions to areas not su itabie for the type or amount of development necessary to support the service or which is likely to result from such extension. It is also the policy of the County to regulate extensions in a manner which will ensure that utility resources will be constrainedtoareasof, or adjacent to, existing development and areas suited to development consistent with other policies of the County and that such areas should be provided the full complement of necessary public utilities ratherthan to create many areas which are not fully serviced and are premature for the development contemplated. It is also the policy of the County to discourage extensions which are not financially viable without public expenditures which would otherwise not be made to extend or upgrade components of the system or for increased maintenance or operating needs; to discourage duplication of major lines or treatment facilities; to discourage extensions and development which would be subjected to abnormal construction, maintenance or operating costs due to topographical, soil or geological conditions; and to discourage extensions of which the cost-including environmental-exceeds the general benefit to be gained thereby.

Box 2412 Aspen, Colorado 81612 RE: Water Tap Fees Dear John: It is the City of Aspen's understanding that the Aspen School District is under contract to install a water line from the school property to the 12" Highlands Interconnect Project. This connecting line has not been submitted for review to the Aspen Water Department and the tap fees have not been paid. The City of Aspen water rates and charges are set by municipal code. I have attached a copy of the appropriate City code for your review in anticipating fees and monthly service charges. A review of the proposed project with you in June 1990 indicated that the preliminary water tap fees approached $149,000 based on anticipated fixtures and actual student-teacher head count. The preliminary water tap fees were not based on the capacity of the school. An actual review of the approved plans have not been completed nor have we taken a physical inventory of the construction. Before the line can enter the City of Aspen's right-of-way on the Moore property or make a physical connection to the 12" pipeline, a water tap application and drawings must be submitted to the Aspen Water Department for review and approval. The design specifications of the new line must meet City of Aspen standards and the water tap fees must be satisfied. John Keleher June 18, 1991 Page Two In previous correspondence and City Council meetings, the water tap fees have not been waived and the credits from the old school cannot be transferred to the new school. The City of Aspen is concerned about the safety of our children in the school complex and have placed a high priority on the coordination of this water line.

This letter will set forth the Aspen School District's request of the City of Aspen to credit the cost incurred by the Aspen School District in extending the 12" water line from the Highlands' interconnect to the Mazoon Creek Campus and constructing the 8" line from the Middle School to the Mazoon Creek Road against the tap fees to be charged the Aspen School District relating to the new Elementazy School. It is my understanding that the calculation of the tap fees to be paid to the Crty of Aspen total $120,071.50. Attached to this letter is a breakdown of the water line extension costs I obtained from John Keleher, the District's Superintendent of Construction on the Elementary School who coordinated and supervised the design and installation of the water lines. The District's total wst to date is $178,593.00. We aze pleased that the Campus will have adequate fire protection, a situation which has been lacking for some 20 years. It also finalizes a commitment the District made 5 or 6 years ago to remedy this problem. There aze several reasons for the District's request that the City Council approve a credit of the water line extension costs to offset the expense of the City's tap fees. First, the extension of the lines and the current line termination points on the Mazoon Creek Campus facilitates additional line extensions to potential development in the vicinity of the Campus and provides adequate fire flows to future development along the Maroon Creek wmdor. Secondly, the Aspen School District agrees to wazve any clazm for reimbursement to the extent of the amount of the credit based upon connection to these lines to service any pazcel in the vicinity of the Campus. Third, at the time the budget for the construction of the Aspen Elementary School was made and the $9,000,000 bond election passed, the School District allocated $150,000 for the line extension cost, believing that tap fees would be waived by the City of Aspen. If the requested credit is not given by the City of Aspen, the tap fees together wrth the hne extension costs will total approximately $300,000, $150,000 over budget. This will further impact the District's non-construction budget increasing a projected deficit for this coming year. Let me also take this opportunity to address one other matter we have been discussing, namely the construction by the Aspen School District of a raw water line to the campus playfields, lawn areas, etc. The Distnct is very interested in pursuing this matter as we endorse the City's policy to further the conservation of treated water. Also, our water usage cost will be reduced by using raw water rather than treated water on our playfields, POST OFFICE BOX 300 ASPEN, COLORADO 81612 Bob Gish August 21, 1991 Page 2 etc. However, the District is unable to make a firm wmmitment at this time as to the time- table for the construction of the raw water line. We must first investigate the proposed location of the water line, obtaining any necessary easements, the line extension costs, disruption to the campus as well as the value of the irrigation rights Aspen School District would dedicate to the City of Aspen as part of the raw water line extension arrangement. In short, I believe there is more to be discussed before a firm commitment to the timing of the installation can be made by the District. Let's continue to pursue this matter. I wish to acknowledge the cooperation we have received from you, Larry Ballinger, Cazol O'Dowd and Judy McKenzie dunng the last several weeks to amicably resolve the tap fee/waterline extension matters.

Margerum Planning Director Aspen-Pitkin County John D. Musick, Jr. Planning Office Aspen section loci Approvals July 5, 1991 Introduction The City of Aspen received three Section 1041 approvals from Pitkin County for Water System Capital Improvements constructed during 1990 and 1991. They are: • Red Mountain • Highlands Mountain • Buttermilk Mountain This memoranflum summarizes the status of those water system capital improvements. This project is largely complete. All of the initial phase physical facilities have been installed. The critical issues of revegetation and site rehabilitation are largely complete. The city staff and consuiting engineers are working with adjacent landowners on a daily basis to satisfactorily compiete ail rehabilitation requirements. With completion of this rehabilitation work, all conditions of the Section 1041 approval have been met, and the project will be satisfactorily completed in a short period of time. Highlands Hpuntain Completion of this project was held in suspension due to objections by adjacent landowners. Negotiations with those landowners has continued such that all parties are negotiating in good faith. A draft agreement has been circulated anfl is presently being reviewed by staff and consultants. The agreement calls for the completion of the project along the original alignment approved under the Section 1041 or a very close alignment to that original approval. when the agreement is JOHN MUSICK-BOULDER IEL No.SUS-uur-lyre uui ~,yi ie~ul iva.uuzs r.uu ~.,. ~ww ornccs ei .JOHN D. MUSICK~ JR. executed, the City will request an administrative amendment to the originally approved alignment in the 1041 application if the new alignment is utlized. The agreement calls for ail revegetation and rehabilitation to occur to a high level of compliance. All construction access roads will be obliterhted and the property will be returned to its untouched state. Apparently, the Aspen School District has made an unauthorized connection onto the Highlands fire protection line. The City is presently resisting this step by the School District. This step in no way relates to the Section 1041 approval, and while ~ ~ interconnected to the same line, the county should not relate the new sine to the activities of the School District. J In all other respects, the 1041 approval has been complied with fully. Buttermilk Mountain The last remaining work to be completed on this project is the construction of the treated water storage tank on Buttermilk Mountain. All other aspects of the 1041 approval have been complied with fully. As to the storage tank, the parties nave exchanged agreements and approved the realignment of the pipeline and storage tank to move it a short distance from the initial location to a new location. The new location fs within a few hundred feet of the initial location and will sit on or be along the boundary line of lot a of the Aspen Buttermilk Associates project. With the extensive reVegetation and rehabilitation requirements of the landowners, all County loaf provisions will be more than adequately addressed. The agreement will be finalized in the next few days. N.p..-.~.r1.~~ (na) 2 BAN N E R CONB4LTING EN OIN EERB 6 ARC NITECTB May 13, 1991 Cindy Houben Pitkin County Planning Department 130 S.

To date, it has been the understanding of the Aspen Independent School District that due to the School District's status, a local permit is not necessary to excavate for the installation of underground facilities. Operating under this position, the District has been working with the Aspen Water Department, Aspen Fire Protection District, Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District, City of Aspen City Manager, Aspen City Council, the Moore Family, the Highlands Subdivision and Pitkin County Public Works to enable this project to be constructed. The Pitkin County Planning Department unfortunately has not been involved because of the School District's status and quite frankly, our omission due to that status. i am enclosing a complete outline which addresses the project need, planned improvements and other pertinent information. Also enclosed is a set of construction drawings. John Keleher, owners representative for the School District, and I are available to answer any questions or comments that you may have. Sincerely, Robert E. Daniel, Jr., P.E. Aspen Projects Director BANNER ASSOCIATEB~ INC. Enclosure cc: John Keleher RED:clk wp-doc\8230\8230-1et.ch ASPEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WATERLINE E%TENSION BAN N E R introduction As a part of the development of the new Aspen Elementary School, it became obvious that the existing water system at the District campus area did not provide adequate fire protection for the new facility and the protection for the existing facility is questionable. Prior to issuing a certificate of occupancy, the Aspen Fire Protection District Marshall determined that additional fire flow (water for fire protection) must be obtained by the School District. Also as a part of the extension of on-site water lines, the School District was required to bring additional flow to the campus area. This was initially proposed via a twelve inch (12" main extension in the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way from the intersection at Castle Creek Road. This extension has been a part of the Aspen Water Department long range plan to improve current service to the District facilities. Design Alternatives John Keleher, on behalf of the School District, entered into a contract with Banner Associates to investigate and provide design alternatives to meet the requirements of the obligations of the District. In investigating the proposed Water Department long range plan for an extension up Maroon Creek Road, two obvious problems emerged. First, the twelve inch (12") waterline extension would provide adequate volume (flow) but not provide adequate pressure for the proposed elementary fire sprinkler system. This is due to the elevation gain from the Castle Creek intersection to the elementary school. To use this alternative, an internal fire pump would have to be installed to provide adequate pressure for the sprinkler system. Secondly, due to requirements of Pitkin County Public Works Department, the waterline would have to be constructed outside the paved surface of Maroon Creek Road. This would necessitate destruction and reconstruction of existing vegetation, slopes, bike paths and drainage facilities. Not to mention the inconvenience and disruption to traffic, utilities and pedestrians along Maroon Creek Road. Given these problems, Banner investigated alternative methods for meeting the District obligations. With the assistance of Larry Ballenger of the Aspen water Department, a solution was found in connecting to the twelve inch (12") Highlands Interconnect waterline. This solution would not only meet the objectives of the School District, but minimize impact to the community by avoiding construction in the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way. ~,,, ~ BANNER Planned Imurovements Once the Highlands Interconnect alternative selection was made, there were additional issues to be addressed. To reach the School District property from the existing Highland Interconnect line involves crossing the Moore property. The School District has been granted an easement by the Moores to construct this line on their property. This easement will be conveyed to the Water Department upon completion of an as-built survey of the line and preparation of legal descriptions and exhibits. In reaching this agreement with the Moores, it became obvious that to place the waterline immediately adjacent to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints property line would minimize any impact and disturbance of vegetation. Once the line reaches the south boundary of the District property, it will run adjacent to the Maroon Creek Road right-of- way until it connects to the existing line at the elementary school. On the twelve inch (12") waterline, an eight inch (8") tee will be provided for use at the proposed Aspen Country Day School campus on the west side of Maroon Creek Road. This will provide adequate water flows for consumption and fire protection should the campus be developed. Finally, a connection will be made to the existing waterline on the north side of the middle school. This connection will be extended to the south right-of-way line of Maroon Creek Road near the bus barn and maintenance facility. Upon completion of the line, an easement will be granted to the Aspen Water Department for the perpetual maintenance and ownership of the improvements. All of the improvements are being placed in accordance with Aspen Water requirements and specifications. The proposed routing described above provides equal or better service characteristics of the Aspen Water Department original expansion. There will be considerably less impact upon the community by avoiding construction in Maroon Creek Road as well as improved service pressure and flow by connection to the Highlands Interconnect. Also, the future service needs of the Aspen Country Day School will be met as a part of this system extension. Additional Benefits The extension of this system obviously benefits the School District by providing fire protection for not only the elementary school, but improved flows and pressures for the entire campus. Also, the Aspen Water Department has the service needs of an area improved without any capital expenditure. Another previously unmentioned benefit of this project is the School District's commitment to creation of an irrigation system from raw water. Through communication with the Aspen City Council via Larry Ballenger, Carol O'Dowd and Robert Gish, the School District has made a commitment to design an irrigation system that facilitates the use of non-potable water for irrigation of the campus site. It is the District's hope that this system can somehow include cooperation to include Iselin Park and the proposed Aspen Country Day School on the west side of Maroon Creek Road. ~ ~ BA N N E R summarv Though the Planning Office may have been unaware of this project, the District has made every attempt to notify and work in cooperation with those affected by the Project. Alan Schwartz and Jody Edwards of the Aspen Highlands Water and Sanitation District (as well as residents in the Highlands Subdivision) have been kept informed of the project and are aware of the proposed construction. The Moore family has been extremely cooperative and helpful in enabling the District to solve some of the initial service problems. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has been kept informed and are aware of the District's plans. The Aspen Water Department, Aspen City Manager's office, Aspen Public Works Department and Aspen City Council have been helpful in enabling the current moratorium on water main extensions to be waived for this project. This is due to the fact that this project has been required to provide adequate fire protection for the elementary school and the commitment of the District to use raw water for irrigation purposes. 1041 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD REVIEW FOR ASPEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT WATERLINE EXTENSION Submitted by: Aspen Independent School District P.O.

The Elementary School project has been in the planning phase for several years, under construction since June of 1990 and an opening in September of 1991 for the 1991-1992 school year is anticipated. Along range plan to provide this new facility has been a District goal since 1986. ~, 3 ~. ~., PROJECT NEED 4 Project Need .~ ., As the long range plans for the development of the new Elementary School unfolded, it came to the District's attention that improvements to the existing water system at the campus were necessary. These improvements were at the request of the Aspen Fire Protection District's Fire Marshall, Wayne Vandemark and a ,, former director of the Aspen Water Department, Jim Markalunas and were directly related to safety of the campus occupants in the event of a fire. .,. The District is constructing the Elementary School under a permit allowed by the State of Colorado and not the local building department. This permit requires the local Fire Marshall to inspect the facility and sign off on the certificate of occupancy ~' that is issued by the State of Colorado. As a requirement of this approval by Wayne Vandemark, the District must provide adequate fire flows at the fire hydrants adjacent to the building. ~, Additionally, increased water pressure is needed for the internal fire sprinkler system that is a part of the Elementary School. Beyond the need for the water improvements as a part of the Elementary School construction, the existing campus area is in need of a system upgrade for fire protection. when the initial development of the District's campus was begun, water service was 5 ~' provided from a six inch (6") waterline in Meadowood Subdivision (Phase II) that traversed the Moore property. This line is currently the sole supply source for the District campus. There o are currently three (3) fire hydrants off of this existing line »~ that provide fire protection for the entire campus area. This line to date is not a looped system; and therefore, does not meet the current criteria of the Aspen Fire Protection District which R requires an eight inch (8") line for non-looped systems with fire hydrants. -- The final safety issue to be addressed in this project is the fire °' protection of the existing bus maintenance facility. This maintenance facility was constructed with the initial campus for the operation/maintenance of the District's bus system. There currently is approximately $ 2,000,000 worth of equipment and improvements associated with this facility. The closest fire hydrant to this facility is approximately 350' off the northwest corner of the Aspen Middle. School Parking area. This is well .. beyond the required maximum distance of 200 feet. As a part of ~, this project, a fire hydrant will be installed adjacent to the entrance of the bus operation/maintenance facility to provide K- adequate fire protection. Upon completion of the proposed waterline improvements, the existing fire safety issues outlined will be addressed by providing a water system with adequate fire flows, adequate residual 6 pressures, appropriate hydrant locations and a looped system. 7 APPLICABLE PITRIN COIINTY LAND IISE CODE SECTIONS 8 Applicable Pitkin County Land IIse Code Sections As a part of the pre-application conference (the summary sheet is provided in the Appendix) with the Pitkin County Planning office, °' an overview of sections within the Pitkin County Land Use Code that are applicable to this application was discussed. The following section of this 1041 Environmental Hazard Review Application M addresses each of those specific code sections which were deemed applicable to this project. SECTION 2-10 - LOGICAL ERTENSION OF IITILITIES - "It is the policy of the County to discourage utility extensions to areas not suitable for the type or amount of development necessary to support the service or which is likely to result from `" such extension." ., The extension of the proposed waterline for the Aspen School ""' District Campus is to adequately serve an existing facility as well as the new Elementary School with sufficient fire protection. Whether the Elementary School was constructed or not, there still exists a sub-standard water system (in terms of fire protection) for the Aspen High School, Aspen Middle School and Colorado . Mountain College campus areas. The proposed waterline extension "' provides an upgraded water system to this existing developed area. "It is also the policy of the County to regulate extensions in a '" manner which will insure that utility resources will be constrained to areas of, or adjacent to, existing development and areas suited to development consistent with other policies of the County and 9 that such areas should be provided with the full complement of ,,,, necessary public utilities rather than to create many areas which are not fully serviced and are premature for the development - contemplated." The existing Aspen School District Campus is within the service ~. area of, and is currently serviced by, the Aspen Consolidated - Sanitation District, Aspen Water Department, Holy Cross Electric ~' Association, Rocky Mountain Natural Gas and U.S. West Communications. The campus is also located within the Aspen Metro Area and adjacent to the existing Meadowood Subdivision, Highlands Subdivision, James E. Moore Pool and City of Aspen park facilities. -- Each of these existing developments is also served by the afore- mentioned public utilities. "It is also the policy of the County to discourage extensions which - are not financially viable without public expenditures which would otherwise not be made to extend or upgrade components of the system or for increased maintenance or operating needs; to discourage duplication of major lines or treatment facilities; to discourage extensions aad development which would be subjected to abnormal construction, maintenance or operating costs due to topographical, soil, or geological conditions; and to discourage extensions of which the cost - including environmental - exceeds the general „~ benefit to be gained thereby." ` The Aspen Independent School District is funding the proposed waterline extension as a part of the construction cost associated with the Elementary School construction and not requesting any ° public agency for expenditure or reimbursement of the cost. This line does not duplicate any existing system due to the fact that y the existing system is sub-standard. The existing six inch (6") line which serves the school campus off of the Meadowood 10 Subdivision system will be cut and plugged so as to no longer ~. provide water for the campus area. The proposed construction will be performed in accordance with the requirements and specifications m of the Aspen Water Department which provide for normal construction ~ means and methods as well as insuring the long term integrity of the system. The proposed alignment provides the most environmentally sensitive means of meeting the fire safety requirements of the Aspen Fire Protection District. The alignment of the water system avoids all shrub and tree vegetation along the Moore property as well as the School District property. SECTION 2-21 - COMPATIBILITY WITH E%ISTING ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS _ "It is the policy of the County to ensure that any applicant under the provisions of this code consult with the local neighborhood caucus or homeowners association, open to all residents, concerning r the compatibility of the uses proposed with existing neighborhood uses and any adopted neighborhood goals and objectives, or that the procedures for processing of any development application provide for notice to and hearing of such local groups.~~ The immediate adjacent neighbors to the project are the Highlands Subdivision, Moore family and the Church of Jesus Christ - Latter Day Saints. These individuals or groups have been contacted by the R. School District's representative, John Keleher, and/or the School 9 District's engineer, Robert Daniel of Banner Associates, Inc. The Appendix of this application contains copies of the correspondence ,~ with these neighbors. To date, the Maroon Creek/Castle Creek r Caucus has not been notified regarding this project but the Applicant is aware that they will be a referral organization for 11 .. this application. ~. SECTION 2-25 - GROWTH, PHASING OF PIIBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES "It is the policy of the County to provide for efficient phasing of public services and facilities at a reasonable annual growth °•' rate in each planning area of the County (taking into consideration growth in incorporated areas not subject to County control); to "' prevent the location of activities and developments which may „~ result in significant changes in population densities (including visitor accommodations or facilities) not consistent with the ,. foregoing and, if necessary, to apply building or development phasing or allotment procedures designed to assure that the ~" foregoing shall not be exceeded." The proposed waterline extension occurs entirely within the limits of Pitkin County. The development of areas adjacent to the a" extension are subject to the controls and regulation of Pitkin County. The adjacent land areas are all currently serviceable by existing water systems that abut or are entirely on the adjacent properties. No extensions are being carried beyond the limits of the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way west of the Applicant's property or north of the Applicant's property. Therefore, any additional extensions would be subject to the review process of Pitkin County as well as the Aspen Water Department. SECTION 5-407.2fb) - DOMESTIC WATER AND SEWAGE SYSTEMS (1) "New domestic water and sewage treatment systems shall be constructed in areas which will result in the proper utilization of existing treatment plants and the orderly development of - domestic water and sewage treatment systems of adjacent communities ,,, (HB 1041, 106-7-204 [1][a]). (2) Major extensions of domestic water and sewage treatment systems shall be permitted in those areas in which the anticipated growth and development that may occur as a result of such extension can "" be accommodated within the financial and environmental capacity of the area to sustain such growth and development (HH 1041, 106-7- 204 [1][b])." 12 ~. The proposed waterline extension occurs within the service area of the existing water treatment plant and utilizes existing domestic water supply facilities. The area in which the waterline extension ... occurs is within the Metro Area of Pitkin County. It is the '° Applicant's understanding that the Metro Area has been designated as an area for potential future development due to proximity to existing public facilities. However, no additional growth could a be instigated by the extension of the proposed waterline without being subject to the full requirements of the Pitkin County Land " Use Code. Should growth be allowed adjacent to the Applicant's ~. property and should that growth require a potable water supply, this waterline extension would accommodate that growth. ,.. SECTION 5-407.2(1) - WATER PROJECTS - "Municipal and industrial water projects shall emphasize the most efficient use of water, including, to the extent permissible under existing law, the recycling and reuse of water. IIrban development ~. population densities and site layout and design of storm water and sanitation systems shall be accomplishe8 in a manner that will ~- prevent the pollution of aquifer recharge areas (HB 1041, 106-7- 204 [&])." As a part of working with the Aspen Water Department on this project, the Applicant has made a commitment to seek alternatives to potable water being used for irrigation purposes. As a part of «. the long term irrigation system for the district campus, the Applicant would like to use raw water for irrigation of the landscaped area. Details to provide for a supply source of this 13 ..., "' raw water have yet to be completed but alternatives are being ~~ investigated with the Aspen Y7ater Department. The proposed waterline extension has no adverse effect on any existing utility ~. - systems nor does it pose any threat to existing aquifer recharge areas. ,N SECTION 5-203 - LOGICAL EXTENSION OF IITILITIES .. 5-203.1 - Guidelines for Administration "In order to show conformance with Section 2-10, any application shall show, where applicable: (a) That areas unsuited for development are not unnecessarily ,,, traversed by utility extensions." ,.. The proposed waterline alignment was chosen to minimize any traversing of open space. The alignment on the District's property .~. is adjacent to the Maroon Creek Road right-of-way and the existing ~~ service road on the northern portion of the project. The location on the Moore property abuts a common property line between the Moore property and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. By abutting existing property lines and rights-of-way, there are ~„ not areas unnecessarily traversed by utility extensions. (b) "That any utility pattern remains compact or becomes more _ compact as a result of such extension." w The chosen route and service plan of the proposed extension provides the required fire flows while making the best use of _ existing facilities on the campus. The elimination of the water °° service from Meadowood Subdivision puts the entire District 14 property on the Highlands Interconnect System. (c) "That there exists or will soon exist, as a direct result ~* of the proposal or otherwise, sufficient demand for the utility extension adequate to support its costs without "' jeopardiainq the financial integrity of the remainder of ,~, the system." The purpose and reason for this waterline extension is to provide adequate fire protection to an existing school campus facility ~. which has not previously had adequate protection. Since this extension is being funded by the Applicant, there is no jeopardy to the remaining Aspen Water Department distribution system. (d) "That the area to be served is suitable for the type and amount of development necessary to support the service or likely to result from the extension." The proposed extension will serve not only a new Elementary School, but also the existing three facilities on the property. The area to be served is suitable to be developed for educational purposes due to the fact that this use is already in existence. The line extension is intended to serve the existing development while attempting to comply with the Aspen Water Department Master Plan. (e) "That the alignment design and construction of the ., extension will not require abnormal construction or maintenance and will conform with existing service plans T and land use plans and is such that it is capable of servicing the ultimate use levels anticipated within its `" logical service areas." 15 ~° The alignment and construction of the proposed extension meets the . criteria and approval of the Aspen Water Department. The design proposed was coordinated with the Aspen Water Department to insure y its compatibility with the existing and future service plans for „~ the area. The line is sized such that it meets the needs of the fire protection requirements for the Applicant as well as future extension within the logical service area. ,~ (f) "That the extension is compatible with the pattern of availability of other utilities and services and creates areas within which a full range of necessary services and „~ utilities are offered rather than an increase in the size or number of areas to which some necessary services and a utilities are provided and others are not." .a. All municipal and public utility services are currently available ,.,, within the area of the proposed water line extension. As a part °~ of the Metro Area, this area is currently served by the Aspen Fire Protection District, the Aspen Ambulance District, law enforcement and mass transit. (q) "That the volume, nature and time of the use of such an ~, extension will not result in overloads on other components of the same system such as energy resources, _ main transmission lines, or storage or treatment facilities." The proposed waterline extension will delete the demand on the n existing service line from Meadowood Subdivision and thereby decrease the burden on that inferior system, while placing an appropriate demand on the superior Highlands Interconnect System. ~, (h) "That the extension meets applicable engineering "" standards of the State and Pitkin County." 16 .~ ~" The proposed design meets these requirements and standards. (i) "That the extension has been approved or is likely to be approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission if such approval is required." No such approval is required. T SECTION 5-203.2 - SUBMISSION CONTENTS (a) "Description of the type and volume of utility services T required by the development. ., The requirements for fire flows at the Applicant's property is a ^a minimum of 1500 gpm. The proposed twelve inch (12") waterline will provide this minimum requirement. (b) "Discussion of the availability and proximity of such services." The existing Highlands Interconnect (12") waterline is the closest _. service that provides the flows and pressure necessary for the .. system. The next closest alternative is a ten inch (10") line at _„ the intersection of Castle Creek and Maroon Creek Roads. While ^~ this line could provide adequate flows, the residual pressure "" provided on the District property would not meet the requirements. Additionally, construction of a twelve inch (12") waterline along Maroon Creek Road would destroy existing vegetation, require interruption of traffic, as well as destruction and replacement of pathways. 17 (c) "Description of the volume and type of services proposed, time table for extension, engineering and design standards and siae of the facilities and construction and maintenance techniques." The type of service proposed is a waterline service to be ~, constructed in the summer of 1991 within the requirements, standards and guidelines of the Aspen Water Department. The line will be twelve inches (12") in diameter and installed with excavation equipment normally used for utility work. Upon completion of the line, the testing requirements of the Aspen Water Department will be met. Record drawings and a permanent easement will be provided to the Aspen Water Department. The contractor ~' performing the work will provide a one year warranty after which the system will be maintained by the Aspen Water Department. (d) "A map shoainq utility easements and location of any major facilities and their relation to topographic or geologic conditions." Attached in the Appendix are 11" X 17" reductions of the construction documents showing topographic information, existing improvements, proposed improvements and property lines. (e) "Copies of any licenses or permits issued by the Colorado Public IItilities Commission or other agencies for the construction or operation of the utility." No such licenses or permits are necessary for this project. Enclosed in the Appendix is a copy of the Construction License granted by James E. Moore that allows construction of the line 18 across the Moore property and acknowledges future granting of an easement to the Aspen Water Department. (!) "A statement lrom each utility providing a service that any utility extensions can aad will be extended within its capabilities and without burdening other parts o! the utility system." The Applicant and their engineer have been working closely with the Aspen Water Department, the Aspen City Manager's Office, the Aspen City Council and the Aspen Fire Protection District throughout this process to meet the safety needs and requirements of the campus area. For purposes of this application, the Applicant was unable to obtain a letter of availability due to the time frame in which the application has been prepared. 19 APPENDIR 20 ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS The Highlands Subdivision Homeowners Association c/o Jody Edwards III Krabacher °^~ ^~ & Hill,. ~ ~-~.c;,;-ry..~~- 210 N.
