The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport ("Applicant") has applied to the Community Development Director of Pitkin County, Colorado ("Director") to amend the 2004 Airport Master Plan and obtain scenic view protection approval for an air traffic control closed circuit camera system. 2. The property is located on Highway 82, west of Aspen and across from the Aspen Airport Business Center, and is more specifically described in Exhibit A. The camera tower is located on the top of an existing knoll near the south end of the runway between the runway and the highway, and the associated equipment rack is located on the runway side of the knoll. 3. The BOCC approved the 2004 Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Master Plan, pursuant to Resolution No. 057-2004. The Master Plan identified relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower ("ATCT") as a recommended improvement at the Airport, pending further review. 4. The Applicant has determined that the closed circuit camera system and camera tower will augment the existing ATCT and improve the air traffic control capabilities at the Airport, and avoids the need for a new ATCT. 5. The Director finds that the proposed amendment will not change the use of the proposed development or the basic character of the land, is consistent with action taken during the original review, does not increase the allowable floor area, and will enhance public safety and welfare by improving the air traffic control capabilities at the Airport. 6. The Director further finds while the tower is within the scenic view protection area and will break a ridgeline as seen from the highway, the visual impact has been minimized to the extent practicable by siting the tower on a knoll, which reduces the required height of the tower, and by the slim profile of the tower. 7. The Director further finds that: A. The 40' overall height (including tower, cameras and antenna) is necessary to provide the optimum viewing of the runway and the potential runway extensions, and the location and height provide the best horizontal and vertical angles to meet FAA requirements for air traffic control. B. The equipment rack is screened from view from the highway, due to location on the runway side of the knoll. C. The camera tower and equipment rack comply with the 100' highway setback. D. The location of the tower and rack is proximate to the existing airport perimeter road, so no driveway or parking area will be required for installation or maintenance.

The BOCC reviewed the application and heard a presentation on the alternatives to the camera tower at a regularly scheduled meeting on October 28, 2009, and directed staff to approve the request, based on the findings made herein. THE DIRECTOR DOES HEREBY APPROVE an amendment to the 2004 Airport Master Plan and grants scenic view protection approval, subject to the following conditions, which shall mn with the land and be binding on all successors in interest: The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the application. The camera tower and equipment rack shall be generally sited as shown in Exhibit B, and shall be generally consistent with the section drawing shown in Exhibit C. 2. Prior to submission of a development permit(s) for the camera tower and equipment rack, the Applicant shall apply to the Board of Adjustment and obtain a variance to the maximum height of 28'. This Decision does not assure approval of a height variance. Prior to issuance of a development permit(s) for the camera tower and equipment rack, the Applicant shall: A. Submit a construction management plan to the Pitkin County Planning Engineer for review and approval. B. Submit a drainage and erosion control plan to the Pitkin County Planning Engineer for review and approval. C. Submit a revegetation plan for review and approval. 4. All areas disturbed by construction shall be re-vegetated with native vegetation within one growing season of the project's completion. 5. Failure to comply with these conditions of approval and the adopted master plan shall result in revocation of the approvals and permits.

APPLICANT: Aspen/Pitkin County Airport REPRESENTATIVE: Tim Malloy LOCATION: Highway 82, west of Aspen (PID# 264334200851) BACKGROUND: The BOCC approved the 2004 Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Master Plan pursuant to Resolution No. 057-2004. Relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower was identified in the Master Plan as a recommended improvement subject to further review. The Applicant has determined that proposed camera tower will avoid the need for a new taller control tower. STAFF COMMENTS: The application for a Minor Amendment to the Master Plan and Scenic Review can be approved administratively. Staff has determined that an approval would be consistent with the standards in the Land Use Code for such reviews. Staff and the BOCC agreed that given the location and visibility of the proposed tower it would be appropriate for the BOCC to discuss the matter in a public forum. A draft Administrative Decision is attached. The Applicant has provided additional analysis of alternatives to the camera tower, and the application is attached. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board direct staff to approve the Applicant's request for an Amendment to the Airport Master Plan and Scenic Review approval for a closed circuit camera system and tower.

The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport ("Applicant") has applied to the Community Development Director of Pitkin County, Colorado ("Director") to amend the 2004 Airport Master Plan and obtain scenic view protection approval for an air traffic control closed circuit camera system. 2. The property is located on Highway 82, west of Aspen and across from the Aspen Airport Business Center, and is more specifically described in Exhibit A. The camera tower is located on the top of an existing knoll near the south end of the runway between the runway and the highway, and the associated equipment rack is located on the runway side of the knoll. 3. The BOCC approved the 2004 Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Master Plan, pursuant to Resolution No. 057-2004. The Master Plan identified relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower ("ATCT") as a recommended improvement at the Airport, pending further review. 4. The Applicant has determined that the closed circuit camera system and camera tower will augment the existing ATCT and improve the air traffic control capabilities at the Airport, and avoids the need for a new ATCT. 5. The Director finds that the proposed amendment will not change the use of the proposed development or the basic character of the land, is consistent with action taken during the original review, does not increase the allowable floor area, and will enhance public safety and welfare by improving the air traffic control capabilities at the Airport. 6. The Director further finds while the tower is within the scenic view protection area and will break a ridgeline as seen from the highway, the visual impact has been minimized to the extent practicable by siting the tower on a knoll, which reduces the required height of the tower, and by the slim profile of the tower. 7. The Director further finds that: A. The 40' overall height (including tower, cameras and antenna) is necessary to provide the optimum viewing of the runway and the potential runway extensions, and the location and height provide the best horizontal and vertical angles [o meet FAA requirements for air traffic control. B. The equipment rack is screened from view from the highway, due to location on the runway side of the knoll. C. The camera tower and equipment rack comply with the 100' highway setback. D. The location of the tower and rack is proximate to the existing airport perimeter road, so no driveway or parking area will be required for installation or maintenance. 000002 Administrative Decision No. -2009 Page 2 THE DIRECTOR DOES HEREBY APPROVE an amendment to the 2004 Airport Master Plan and grants scenic view protection approval, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all successors in interest: 1. The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the application. The camera tower and equipment rack shall be generally sited as shown in Exhibit B, and shall be generally consistent with the section drawing shown in Exhibit C. 2. Prior to submission of a development permit(s) for the camera tower and equipment rack, the Applicant shall apply to the Board of Adjustment and obtain a variance to the maximum height of 28'. This Decision does not assure approval of a height variance. 3. Prior to issuance of a development permit(s) for the camera tower and equipment rack, the Applicant shall: A. Submit a construction management plan to the Pitkin County Planning Engineer for review and approval. B. Submit a drainage and erosion control plan to the Pitkin County Planning Engineer for review and approval. C. Submit a revegetation plan for review and approval. 4. All areas disturbed by construction shall be re-vegetated with native vegetation within one growing season of the project's completion. 5. Failure to comply with these conditions of approval and the adopted master plan shall result in revocation of the approvals and permits. APPROVED by the Director, this day of , 2009. Cindy Houben, Community Development Director PID #264334200851; P086-09 ti;3~1+~n3 TGMALLOY CONSULTING, LLc LAND USE PLANNING ~ SITE DESIGN ~ NATURAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS ~ PUBLIC PROCESS MEMORANDUM To: Lance Clarke, Assistant Community Development Director CoPr: Jim Elwood, Director of Aviation FROM: Tim Malloy DATE: October 19, 2009 RE: Air Traffic Control Tower Alternatives As requested, we are providing this memo to augment the information provided in the application for the proposed air traffic control closed circuit camera system. That application includes a request for minor amendment to the Airport Master Plan and scenic view protection approval for a 40-foot tall rigid pole for mounting closed circuit cameras to augment the existing air traffic control tower at the Airport. This memo, and the included exhibits, is intended to provide information regarding the alternatives to installing the proposed 40-foot camera mast. We have also provided six additional copies of the original application for distribution to the Board of County Commissioners for the hearing scheduled for October 28~h. The Airport Administration has been studying various alternatives for augmenting the air traffic control capabilities at the Airport over the past four years. These alternatives include a closed circuit camera system, the details for which are provided in the original land use application, as well an additional satellite facility and replacing the existing air traffic control tower with a new tower. The satellite facility would have provided an additional controller at the south end of the airport. However this idea was discounted based on capital and long-term costs by the FAA. Three alternatives locations were studied for a new air traffic control tower as shown on Figure 1. Location Cis adjacent to the existing air traffic control tower, while the other two locations are near the existing main terminal building. The southernmost alternative (Location B) was to be part of a potential new terminal building (blue mass on Figure 1). These locations were studied because they represented the widest range of alternatives that met FAA criteria for siting air traffic control towers for the existing runway end and the proposed runway extension alternatives. The FAA evaluates potential air traffic control tower sites based on 15 to 20 criteria that are intended to provide the best visibility for air traffic controllers under all foreseeable conditions. Due to the existing terrain at the Airport and other factors, the height of the three alternative towers analyzed increases from south to north. The tower location furthest to the north (Location C) represents the scenario of remodeling or replacing the existing tower in its current location. In order to meet the FAA criteria for visibility, a tower in this location would have to be approximately 200 feet high (to accommodate an eye level height of 170 feet in the cab). By comparison, the tower at the Eagle County Regional Airport is approximately 148 feet high. Figure 2 provides a graphic depiction of the tower at location C as it would appear from the other side of Highway 82. Location A would require a tower approximately 190 feet tall (160 foot eye level in the cab), while a tower at location B would have to be roughly 130 feet high to meet FAA criteria.

Figures 2 and 3 show that the towers at locations A and C would break the ridgeline even as viewed from more distant locations on the east side of Highway 82. Views of these two towers from the travel lanes of Highway 82 would extend above the ridgeline much more dramatically. Figure 4 shows all three towers as they would appear from a point on the east shoulder of Highway 82 near the north end of the Airport. In addition to the dramatic visual impacts that would result from a new air traffic control tower, the cost to construct a new tower was estimated at $15 to $20 million. Due to intense competition for funding for air traffic control towers, and the fact that Aspen would be considered a low priority for these funds, this cost would probably have to be borne by the local community. Given the severe visual impacts and prohibitive cost of constructing a new air traffic control tower, the Airport Staff and its consultants pursued the closed circuit camera alternative and are finalizing design details with the FAA to install this system. We appreciate the opportunity present this information to the Board of County Commissioners and we believe the requested closed circuit camera system is a solution that offers dramatically reduced visual impacts and a significant cost savings to the community. We have included copies of the original land use application, wherein we have demonstrated that the proposed camera pole meets the criteria for approval of a minor amendment to the existing Airport Master Plan and the Scenic View Protection criteria.

The applicant recognizes that a height variance will need to be obtained through the Pitkin County Board of Adjustment due to the height of the proposed camera tower. The following code sections are addressed in this application: • z-zo-t5o(b), Minor Amendment to Development Permit • 7-zo-tzo -Scenic View Protection (for camera masts) The proposed camera tower will be located on Airport property, a legal description for which is included as Exhibit A of this application. Proof of ownership for the Airport Property is on file with the County. The Director of Aviation for the Aspen~Pitkin County Airport has authorized TG Malloy Consulting, LLC to submit this application and represent them in the development review process (see Exhibit B). PROJECT DESCRIPTION As part of the work being done to evaluate the potential runway extension at the Airport, various solutions for improving the air traffic control system have been studied. Due to the cost and height requirements associated with a new or redeveloped existing air traffic control tower, the Airport's preferred solution is to augment the existing air traffic control tower with dedicated closed circuit television cameras. The proposed system will be composed of a single metal post with two cameras mounted near the top and an equipment rack that will house the power supply and other necessary electronic equipment for the system. figure t is a sketch that shows the system components and their dimensions. The height of the pole will be slightly less than 4o feet with an antenna at the top that will result in an overall height of 4o feet. The cameras will be mounted below the top of the tower. Due to the pole's height and proximity to the runway, FAA regulations require that there be a flashing obstruction light at the top as shown on Figure ~. Figure z shows the proposed location of the camera tower, which is on the top of an existing knoll toward the south end of the runway. The camera tower location and height was chosen to provide the optimum viewing of the runway and the potential runway extensions, which are being evaluated through the Federal environmental assessment process. The proposed location and height were selected to provide the best horizontal and vertical angles to meet FAA requirements for air traffic control. The -z- ~~!i~03 Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application (Aspen/Pitkin County Airport August 12, 2009 horizontal angle permits the air traffic controllers in the control tower to discern individual aircraft and aircraft types. The vertical angle was selected to meet the depth perception required to allow the controllers to distinguish location and relative position of individual aircraft. The height of the proposed pole is the minimum necessary to meet FAA requirements and the location on the knoll was selected to minimize the height of the camera pole while still achieving the necessary height for the cameras. The proposed location also provides the opportunity to screen the equipment rack which can be located on the runway side of the existing knoll as shown on Figure t. Since the proposed facility is located very near the existing airport perimeter road, no additional driveway or parking area will be required for its installation or maintenance. REVIEW CRITERIA The proposed air traffic control closed circuit camera system requires a minor amendment to the existing Airport Master Plan and Scenic View Protection approval. The review criteria for these code provisions are addressed in the following paragraphs. AMENDMENTS TO DEVELOPMENTAPPLICA71ONSAND PERMITS (z-zo-r5o) (b) Minor Amendments Defined A minor amendment to any development application or permit is one that meets the following criteria, as determined by the Community Development Director: (t) Is consistent with action(s) taken during previous development approvals for the property; and (a) Does not change the use of the proposed development between residential, commercial and tourist accommodation uses; and (3) Does not change the basic character of the approved use of land on which the activity occurs, including basic visual appearance and method of operation; and (4) Does not constitute a new land development activity; and (5) Does not increase o f f-site impacts in the surrounding neighborhood; and (6) Does not endanger the public health, safety or welfare; and (7) Does not violate any Land Use Code standard; and (8) Does not substantially increase the need for on-site parking or utilities, or of fect of fordable housinggeneration; and (9) Does not increase the floor area of the use by more than five (5) percent or decrease the open space on the site by more than five (5) percent. Response: The zooq Airport Master Plan recognized that improved air traffic control tower facilities were needed at the Airport. Resolution o57-zoo4, which granted approval for the current Airport Master Plan, identified relocation of the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) as one of the recommended improvements at the Airport, -3- nUIJOC3 Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application (Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Augus[ 12, 2009 pending further review. Since that time, solutions for improving air traffic control facilities at the Airport have been studied in detail. Various locations have been analyzed for a potential new ATCT, but in each case the height and cost of the structure proved problematic. As an example, in order to meet current FAA standards for air traffic visibility for the Aspen Airport, the required height of a full air traffic control tower ranges from 8o to t8o feet depending on the tower's location. Given the visual impacts and cost associated with such a structure, the Airport and consultants worked to find an alternative solution for the air traffic control facilities issue. The proposed closed circuit camera system and associated camera tower are the preferred solution. The proposed tower and closed circuit camera equipment would augment the existing air traffic control facilities at the airport and do not constitute a new development activity or a change in use of the Airport. The basic character and visual appearance of the Airport is that of a busy regional airport with commercial and light industrial-style buildings and numerous aviation related facilities including security fencing, navigational antennae equipment, air traffic control tower, fire fighting and snow removal equipment and facilities, aircraft hangars, runway lighting and large aircraft parking areas. In addition, there are numerous existing light poles, many of which are 4o feet tall, located in the aircraft parking areas on the Airport. The proposed camera tower and equipment would be consistent with these other facilities. The only significant impact associated with the proposed camera system and tower is the fact that it will be visible from Highway 8z and the surrounding area. The tower itself will be located roughly t,z5o feet from the nearest residential dwelling unit, which would be the end units at the Annie Mitchell affordable housing development. The BMC West property, which is being considered for affordable housing by the City of Aspen, is located approximately 55o feet to the northeast of the proposed camera tower location. The nearest dwelling units in the MAA Housing development are approximately t,75o feet from the proposed tower. From these distances, the camera tower should have a minimal impact especially when compared with the potential impact associated with a new air traffic control tower. More detailed information regarding the visual impacts of the proposed camera tower are provided in the Scenic View Protection section below. The closed circuit camera system is intended to enhance public safety and welfare by improving the air traffic control capabilities at the Airport. Nothing about the proposed system would endanger the public health safety or welfare. The height of tower exceeds the maximum height allowed under the current Land Use Code (Section 3-8o-to (e)). The Land Use Code allows an applicant to seek a variance from the dimensional standards through an application to the Pitkin County Board of Adjustment. No other code standards are violated by the proposed facility. The setback from Highway 8z was established at too feet, via the existing Airport Master Plan, and the proposed tower location is outside the too-foot setback as shown on Figure z. The proposed camera -a- ~(1lG 1 Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application (Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Augus[ 12, 2(HJ9 tower and equipment will not result in any change to the floor area of any structure and will not alter the need for on-site parking or generate the need for any affordable housing mitigation since the proposal does not include any building floor area. SCENIC VIEW PROTECTION (7-z0-tzo) The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is bordered by Highway 8z and Owl Creek Road, which are both listed among the roads for which the Scenic View Protection regulations apply. Since the proposed camera tower will be visible from Highway 8z and from Owl Creek Road, the Scenic View Protection criteria have been addressed in the following paragraphs. Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the proposed camera tower facility from the locations on Owl Creek Road and Highway 8z shown on Figure 3. These locations were selected because they depict the points on Highway 8z where the greatest visual impact will be experienced. (d) Standards for Development within Scenic View Protection Areas. All non-exempt development located within a mapped Scenic View Protection Area shall comply with the following standards. t) The proposed development shall utilize existing topography and natural vegetation, such as ridges, hills, and existing trees, to screen buildings to the maximum extent practicable when viewed from those right-of-way listed in subsection (b) above. Response: The proposed tower location is on the top of a knoll south of the old intercept lot along the Highway 8z side of the Airport (see Figure i). There are no trees in the area of the proposed tower site due to its proximity to the runway and concern for potential aircraft obstructions. This location was selected because it allows the use of a shorter tower and it provides the opportunity to screen the equipment rack by locating it downhill on the runway side of the existing knoll. While it seems counter to the intent of these scenic review criteria to locate the tower on top of a knoll, it's important to remember that the height of the cameras is set in relation to the surface of the runway in order to meet standards set by the FAA for safe sight lines for approaching and departing aircraft. Therefore, if the tower were located at a lower elevation it would simply have to be taller to achieve the correct relationship with the runway surface. This would not reduce the amount of the tower that would be visible from Highway 8z (see Figures 4 and 5) and it would increase the visual impacts of the tower as viewed from the Owl Creek Road side of the Airport (see Figure 6). Another factor to consider regarding the location of the tower is that it must be relatively near the south end of the runway in order to maintain a clear view of departing aircraft as they taxi into position and wait for departure. If this were not the case, it might be possible to locate the tower on the runway side of an existing building, thus screening more of the tower from Highway 8z. As shown on Figure z the proposed location avoids the too-foot setback from Highway 8z and the FAA-regulated Building -5- Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application (Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Augus[ 11,1009 Restriction Line (BRL). There is a relatively small area in this part of the Airport that avoids these overlapping regulatory limitations. z) The proposed development shall avoid the location of structures within the Scenic View Protection Areas, and shall avoid the location of structures within any Viewplane identi fled in the State Highway Sz Corridor Master Plan and Down Valley Comprehensive Plan if possible. If location outside the Scenic View Protection Area and defined Viewplanes is not practicable, then the proposed development shall not be located on the highest ground or most visible portion of any site as viewed from those corridors listed in subsection (b) above. Response: The entire Airport is located with the mapped Scenic View Protection Area. However, there are no "viewplanes," as identified in the State Highway 9z Corridor Master Plan or the Downvalley Comprehensive Plan, located in the area or the Airport. In terms of the criteria related to avoiding the highest ground or most visible portion of the site, please see the response to criteria number one above. 3) The proposed development's height and bulk shall be designed to avoid, to the maximum extent practicable, the visibility of buildings from those corridors listed in subsection (b) above. This may include, but shall not be limited to, breaking the mass of the building down into a series of smaller forms, articulation of the building fa4ades to avoid a wall or row effect, and staggering rooflines to avoid a long unbroken plane. Response: The first part of this criterion is addressed in the response to criteria number one above. The proposed tower has been designed with the minimum height and mass which provides the necessary engineering characteristics given the purpose for which the tower is intended. As mentioned previously, one of these criteria is the vertical and horizontal relationship of the cameras to the runway surface at the south end of the Airport (especially given the potential runway extension). Another of these characteristics is that the tower must not sway or move excessively in order to provide a stable video feed for the air traffic controllers. As a result, the tower mast is designed with a relatively broad cross section to resist movement and provide stable support for the cameras (see Figure ~). 4) The proposed structure shall be placed so it does not project above a ridgeline such that a structure silhouettes against the sky when viewed from those corridors listed in subsection (b), unless there are no alternate building sites on the lot or parcel. Response: The proposed tower will not break a ridgeline as viewed from Owl Creek Road, but it will break a ridgeline as viewed from certain locations along Highway 8z. Figure 6 shows the view of the tower from Owl Creek Road and demonstrates that the visual impacts from this side of the Airport will be minimal. While the camera tower will break a ridgeline as viewed from certain locations along Highway 8z, the tower is relatively slim compared to the types of structures for which this regulation was intended. More importantly, there is no other location on the Airport which provides -6- ~~0~0 ~ Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application ~ Aspen/Pitkin County Airport August 12, 2009 the necessary view angles for the cameras and offers a significant reduction in the visual impacts of the facility as viewed from Highway 8z and Owl Creek Road. 5) The proposed development shall be designed to complement the natural topography of the land through the use of techniques such as earth-sheltered design, the use of natural materials and coloring, the use o flow-re flectance materials, or clustering of structures on the least visible portions of the site. When a building is proposed near a ridgeline, then its form (particularly its roof form) shall replicate, parallel, or complement the natural form o f the ridgeline so that it appears to be an element of the natural ridgeline. Response: The proposed tower can be painted to blend in with the natural landscape taking into consideration the change of scenery that comes with the various seasons. However, little else can be done to minimize the visual impacts of the tower given the fact that it will be located relatively close to the runway and must be visible to aircraft operators for obvious safety reasons. 6) The proposed development shall preserve natural vegetation and avoid development within irrigated meadows, to the maximum extent practicable. Response: The proposed location is not in an irrigated meadow and very little vegetation will be removed for the installation of the tower and the associated equipment rack. 7) The proposed development shall install utilities in locations and through procedures that minimize visual impacts to the maximum extent practicable. Response: The camera system will require power and a fiber optic cable feed to the existing Air Traffic Control Tower. These utilities will be installed underground entirely within the Airport grounds. 8) All satellite dishes in the proposed development shall be located to minimize visibility from those rights-of-way listed in subsection (b), and shall use earth tone colors and/or screening to minimize their visual impact. Response: The proposed closed circuit camera system does not include a satellite dish. 9) The proposed development shall not use earth moving and berms as the primary means of compliance with these regulations, but earth moving may be utilized in conjunction with other techniques to comply with standards in this section. Where earth moving techniques are necessary, man-made forms should be undulating and natural in appearance. Response: The proposed location is on an existing land form which was constructed to help screen operations at the Airport from Highway 8z. This existing berm will be used -~- ~~U`'08 Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application (Aspen/Pitkin County Airport August 12, 2009 to screen the equipment rack for the proposed camera system. The existing berm meets the criteria of being undulating and natural in appearance. to) In the Rural Areas only, development shall be located so that activities and development occur in at least one of the locations speci fled in subsection (f) as they may apply to the particular property. Response: Not applicable. tt) EARTH TONE MATERIALS -The exterior o f all development, except development located and designed in the form of a ranch compound, shall be built or painted with indigenous earth tone materials or colors. The exterior of a ranch compound should be built or painted with indigenous earth tone materials, or shall be painted or stained using local, traditional ranch colors, which shall include shades of red, brown, or white. Paints or stains that simulate weathered barn wood also shall be permitted. Response: The applicant is willing to comply with this requirement to the extent practical. tz) ROOFS -All roofs shall have anon-reflective color or composition. Reflective roof materials shall not be used unless the materials are treated prior to installation to eliminate reflection, with the exception of materials associated with solar or photovoltaic equipment. Response: Not applicable. t3) REVEGETATION OF DISTURBED AREAS -Lands disturbed by earth moving or berms should be revegetated using native species that are already growing on or near the site. Topsoil shall be stockpiled and placed on disturbed areas. Irrigation shall be provided to the revegetated areas if it is necessary to ensure survival of planted native species. Response: Installation of the proposed tower and equipment rack will create little disturbance. However, any disturbed areas will be revegetated in accordance with these criteria. (t4) DRIVEWAYS AVOID DIVIDING MEADOWS AND PASTURES - To the maximum extent practicable, roads and driveways shall be located to skirt the edge of and avoid dividing meadows and pastures and to avoid major road cuts. Roads and driveways should take advantage of the screening potential of natural topography and existing vegetation. Existing roads and driveways shall be used where practical. To enhance screening, a row of trees may be planted along the roads or driveways. To the maximum extent practicable, roads and driveways located around the edge of or in meadows shall be laid out with soft, curving edges and shall avoid straight line corridors that are incongruous with the natural setting. Response: The proposed tower location is adjacent to the existing airport perimeter road. No additional driveway or parking area will be required to install or maintain this -8- .;~U:,O9 Air Traffic Control Camera System Land Use Application (Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Augur[ IZ, 2009 facility. Most of the disturbance necessary to install the proposed facility will occur on the runway side of the existing knoll and will not be visible from Highway 8z. The disturbed area would be minimally visible from Owl Creek Road due to the distance. SUMMARY The information contained in this application addresses the applicable criteria for approval of the requested amendment to the Aspen~Pitkin County Airport Master Plan and Scenic View Protection Review. The proposed air traffic control closed circuit camera facility eliminates the need for a new, or substantially remodeled, air traffic control tower. A new air traffic control tower would result in visual impacts many times the magnitude of the camera facility for which approval is sought with this application. In addition, the cost of the closed circuit camera system described in this application is a tiny fraction of what it would cost to design and construct a new air traffic control tower. Therefore, the proposed camera facility represents a substantial benefit for the safety and welfare of the community. Given these factors, we respectfully request that this application for minor amendment to a development permit and scenic view protection review be approved. We recognize that Board of Adjustment approval will be required for a height variance prior to installation of the proposed facility. ^ -9- V l/ I_) J 1 O E Airport ~ ~ Highway (Backsi~ of Rack) 24V Power Disconnect Suppty Swikh I UPS I 5' x Fiber Panel Fibor In Figure ~ -Section Drawing of Proposed Camera Tower i.+ a ~.: ~ _~ r ~ _~ ~~~ - ~ ~.~ f~ ~ 4r • r \ z ` ` ,; '~ ~y _ 4 t ~s ~^ I II II rr Y f' w n/Pitkin Air Traffic Control Closed Circuit Camera System Airport Master Plan Amendment & Scenic View Protection Application Prepared by: TG Malloy Consulting, LLC Prepared for: AspenJPitkln County Airport Administration 4oz Park Drtve oz33 East Airport Road, Suite A Glenwood Springs, CO Si6ot Aspen, CO 8i6i~ 970-945-o83z ~~~u~12 ~. !R~^ -I r r.~ -~ ~ w ,_ 1" = 50' Figure 2-Site Plan r ~ ~' ` ~ ~r; f~~4 ay`1 1t,J;', ~~M'1~ '•~i; it uy,, . r ~ Py1 .R y'S . ~• ?r • f L, ~. ;,~ 11 .•~ F~, ,..

APPLICANT understands and a ees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 008-2008 establishes a fee structure for land use applications and the payment of all processing fees is a condition precedent to a determination of application completeness. The fee structure is based on the County's policy that development shall pay, in full, the cost of development review in Pitkin County. Fees have been set to be consistent and fair to the public and to reflect the expense incurred in providing such services to the public. 3. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that because of the size, nature or scope of the proposed project, it may not be possible at the time of application to ascertain the full extent of the costs involved in processing the application. 4. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that fees charged for the processing of land use applications shall accumulate if an application includes more than one type of land use review. 5. COUNTY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for COUNTY staff to complete processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners to enable the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners to make legally required findings for project approval, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision. 6. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that in consideration of the COUNTY'S waiver of its right to collect full fees rior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay a base fee in the amount of $~ which is based on'~ hours of staff time, and if actual time spent by staff to process the application exceeds the average number of hours by more than 20%, then the COUNTY will bill the APPLICANT quarterly for the additional time spent.
