This Decision is being re-recorded to amend Adminishative Decision No. 01-2010 (Rec. No 566048) effort to change the street address in recital #2 from 140 Alexander Avenue to 151 Alexander and change condition 8(Bxl) to eliminate the access standard for a barn and require the access to comply with the Pitkin County Asset Managemem Plan. The Special Review approval for a CDU located in the title of this Decision is also being removed. 2. The Lot is located at 151Alexander Avenue. It is legally described as Lot 14, Block 3, Filing 2 of the BOCC approved Little Elk Creek Village Subdivision. PID#:2645-042-01-009. 3. _ The Lot is approximately 1.36 acres, is in the AR-2 zone district, and is nonconforming in size. 4. The parcel was developed with a single family residence which has been demolished. 5. The lot is visible from East Sopris Creek Road (a scenic corridor). The proposed residence and garage will not obstruct a ridgeline as viewed from this corridor. The Lot is not mapped within any big game ranges and is located within a low wildfire hazard area. 6. Little Elk Creek exists on the southeastern property boundary of the Lot. Pursuant to Code Section 7- 20-80(ax4xcx8xa), the Applicant has requested an activity envelope be established within the 100' setback of the Creek. Because the structure was legally created and is located within 50' of the Creek, the Applicant has the ability to submit a request to redevelop a residential structure within the same footprint. If the Director finds that the structure can be allowed within the same footprint, a riparian restoration plan may be required to be submitted for review, approval, and implementation. 7. The Application was referred to the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District, the Little Elk Creek Homeowners Association, Snowmass/Capitol Caucus, and the Housing Department. Comments were received from all and are incorporated as conditions below. 8. The Director fuAher fmds that the riparian habitat associated with the length of Little Elk Creek as it occurs on the subject lot has been manipulated and that restoration of this area will more than likely occur naturally. 9. The Director further fmds that redevelopment of the Lot is acceptable and in accordance with the provisions of the Code for Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review. 10. Public notice was published on October 18, 2009. An affidavit of public notice was mailed on November 3, 2009. No objections were received within 30 days.

STAHL APPLICATION FOR ACTIVITY ENVELOPE/SITE PLAN REVIEW 3 PI D# 2645-042-01-009 oooao5 B. Property Descrlptlon and Development Proposal The bt under consideration is 1.36 acres in size, and is zoned AR-2. The lot is located within the established Little Elk Creek Subdivision. As illustrated in the Vicinity Map, access to the lot ie located at the cul-de-sac terminating the existing paved street of Alexander Drive, and has the street address of 151 Alexander Drive. Alexander Drive is accessed via E. Sopris Creek Road. A topographic survey dated March 3"', 2007, by Michael P. Lafferty of Rocky Mountain Surveying was completed and has been used as a base drawing for the attached documents. The majority of the lot (including the proposed building footprint) is at 3%-4%. A portion of the existing stream bank within the 50' setback approaches slopes of 18°~. An existing "earth-berm' home completed in 1978 wtth what appears to be a later addition above the garage, is planned for demolttion. This earth-berthing against the existing house with man-made grades of 25% will be returned to a grade of approximatey 5% in keeping with the original site greding. The proposed new single family residence will be placed on approximately the same building footprint. The applicant is proposing to establish an activity envelope which includes the residence, patios and landscaping, a septic leech field, a buried horizontal geo-thernal exchange field to the north (which will be re-vegetated in keeping with the pastureland surrounding Little Elk Creek), an access driveway, and a future greenhouse. The proposed location of the geo- exchange field is an area of the property which has been neglected over the past few years, and which will be revegetated to its natural state. The proposed residence will be located wtthin the AR-2 setback restrictions of 30' front setback, 30' aide setbacks (as dictated by the Ltttle Elk Creek Covenants superseding the 20' land use aide setbacks), and the 30' rear setback which is superseded by the 50' stream setback occurting along the rear of the lot. The stream setback abng the rear (south side) of the bt will be in compliance with Ordinance 038-2008, which contains special language for new instruction over existing building footprints in the Little Elk Creek Subdivision. The proposed activity envelope will contain a portion of deck built over the existing building footprint and deck location within the 50' setback. This will be discussed in more detail within the stream corridor and wetlands section. The proposed building height will be less than the 28' max, allowable. The alkmNable FAR is 5,982 s.f. (1.38 acres [59252 s.f.j, up to 25,000 of IM X .13 = 3520 sf, next 25,000 x .09 =2250 sf, 9242 x .05 = 462 sf) and the proposed FAR will be approximately 4,600 s.f. for the residence and 250 s.f. for the future greenhouse. Addttional compliance with the standards of the Land Use Code will be addressed in the following sections of this report.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PROCEDURE (Sec. 2-30-20(81(2)) g) Criteria for Approval (2) SITE PLAN A Site Plan shall be approved 'rf it complies with (a) all applicable provisions of this Land Use Code, (b) any Activity Envelope previously approved for the property pursuant to Sec. 7-1050, and (c) all prior development approvals applicable to the subject properly. Where the property contains Constrained Areas, the Community Development Department staff shall follow those Priorities for Locating New Activity or Development listed in Sec. 7-10-60. If an Activity Enveope has not been previously established for the property pursuant to Sec. 7-10-50, one shall be established as part of the Site Plan Review process. a. The attached Site Plan shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Land Use Code b. The current residence located on this property did not have an Activity Enveope established. B. SITE PLAN AND ACTIVITY ENVELOPE (Sec. 7-10-50) a) The intent of this Chapter 7 is to allow activities and development to take place where they comply with the provisions of this Land Use Code and with the PRkin County Comprehensive Plan for the area. Compliance will generally involve avoidance of "Constrained Areas' through the identification of an "Activity Envelope,° as well as approval of a Site Plan. For purposes of Chapter 7, "Constrained Areas° include all areas included in each of the following categories, as defined and regulated by this Land Use Code: (i) Areas of Statewide Interest listed in C.R.S. 2455.1-101 et. seq.), (ii) steep and potentially unstable slopes, (iii) watercourses, drainage channels, and areas subject to erosion, (iv) floodplain hazard areas, (v) geological hazard areas, (vi) severe or low to moderate wildfire hazard areas, (vii) wildlife habitat areas, (viii) river and stream corridors and wetlands (ix) irrigated lands for food or crop production, (x) historic preservation areas, and (xi) aroheologicel resource areas. "Constrained Areas° will be outlined in the following sections of this report as outlined in the pre-planning meeting and will be avoided in the establishment of an Activ'dy Envelope. b) The Ske Plan process incorporates an "Activ'Ry Envelope" approach in which the County staff works with the applicant to determine which portions of the site (if any) would permit the proposed activity or development to be conducted in compliance with this Land Use Code and in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan for the area. In general, this process will involve both a determination of (i) which portions of the site are not available for development because of the existence of Constrained Areas, and (ii) of the remaining portions of the site, which areas would accommodate the activity or development so as to minimize impacts on surrounding properties, maximize compliance with the requirements of the development standards in this Chapter 7, and maximize compliance with the Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives. The proposed location of the "Activity Enveope" as shown within Section VI, illustration #2, illustrates the proposed activity envelope to be located in as close a position as possible to the footprint of the existing residence which is proposed to be demolished. The "Constrained Areas" of the site will be addressed in folkwving sections. C) In general, the defined Activity Envelope for development of primary uses shall be large enough to accommodate the proposed principal use of the property and STAHL APPLICATION FOR ACTIVITY ENVELOPElSITE PLAN REVIEW 5 PID# 2645-042-01-009 o~~~,~~ traditional penmitted accessory structures, infrastructure (roads and septic systems), and uses, but should not be significantly larger than the area needed for such structures. In the case of a site wRh few Constrained Areas, the defined Activity Envelope may include more than one potential building site for a new single family home. The defined Activity Envelope may include non-contiguous areas (including separate areas for septic fields, landscaping, driveways to public roads, mitigation measures required in connection with any provision of this Chapter 7, and/or areas to be disturbed only during consWction on the properly -including staging areas and materials storage areas). Construction of trails will not require an Activity Envelope analysis except as required by Sec. 7-20-50. The'Activity Envelope' will contain three primary components: a. The location of the proposed residence, greenhouse, and adjacent outdoor patioAandscaped spaces b. The location of the proposed driveway c. The location of the proposed septic leech field d. A portion of the sRe which is currently grassland without trees of diameter of B' or greater is proposed for the installation of a geo~xchange horizontal loop field. The proposed location of this is shown on the activity envelope. d) Clearing, grading, grubbing, earthmoving that exceeds fifty (50) cubic yards, or changes in the natural drainage of the site shall occur only after an Activity Envelope has been defined and all applicable local, state and federal permits have been obtained. In addftion, Site Plan Approval is required if these activities will occur on a property within a Scenic View Protection Area. The proposed geo~exchange loop field will require the temporary removal of more than 50 cubic yards of soil to install the loop field. The soil will be returned to the same location. The applicant agrees to obtain all required permits. The applicant will require the Site Plan to be approved as this property is located within a Scenic View Protection Area. @) Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review for a Stream Restoration Project shall adhere to all development standards in 7-20-00 and 7-20-80 and shall be reviewed by the BOCC as set forth in Table 2-1. The portion of the efts within the 50' stream setback which shall require Stream Restoration shall be addressed in section 'H' of this report (per Section 7-20-80) Once an Activity Envelope has bean defined, the natural grade, topography, vegetation and drainage of areas outside the defined areas shall not be disturbed except as specifically permitted in this Land Use Code. Prior to any development activity on the parcel, the boundaries of the Activity Envelope shall be identfied with construction fencing, and such fencing shall remain in place until development has bean completed. Construction fencing shall be provided until the project is complete defining the limits of the approved 'activity envelope' g) While it is preferable to obtain approval of an Activity Envelope as part of the Ske Plan approval process, applicants who are not prepared to submit a Site Plan for a specific structure may request approval of an Activity Envelope separetey. Prior to the issuance of a Development Permit, the applicant shall be required to apply for and obtain approval of a Site Plan confirming that the proposed development is consistent with the defined Activity Envelope and with other standards in this Land Use Code not considered at the time the Activity Envelope was defined. A Site Plan has bean included in Section VI, illustretion #2, indicating the bcation of the proposed structure within the Activity Envelope. STAHL APPLICATION FOR ACTIVITY ENVELOPE/SITE PLAN REVIEW 6 PID# 2645-042-01-009 000408' h) The standards in this Chapter 7 shall be used (i) to identify the Activity Envelope on a property, (ii) to review and approve the Site Plan for proposed development, and (iii) to regulate deveopment wthin the Activ'ny Envelope pursuant to the Site Plan. Development Standards in this Chapter 7 which are to be reviewed as part of Activity Envelope and Site Plan review are set forth in Table 7-1 below. The standards of Chapter 7 will used as required per this section and the means of compliance will be outlined in the report as follows C. SITE PREPARATION AND GRADING (Sec. 7-20-10) a) Grading and Fill Placement. Grading and filling on a site shall take place only within a defined Activity Envelope. All grading and fill placement that exceeds filly (50) cubic yards shall be indicated on the Site Plan. The applicant agrees that all grading and filling on-site will take place within the activity envelopes depicted on the site plan. The portion of the grade and fill placement for the horizontal geo~xchange loop field (which exceeds 50 cubic yards) has been indicated on the Site Plan. b) Clearing, Grubbing, end V@g6tatiOn R@moval. Clearing or grubbing of land, or removal of vegetation shall take place only within an approved Activity Enveope, except removal of noxious weeds may occur outside of an Activity Envelope. Each Site Plan shall document compliance with the requirements of this Sec. 7-20-10(b) and Sec. 7-20-130. The applicant agrees that all clearing, grubbing and vegetation removal will take place within the activity envelopes depicted on the site plan. c) Tree Removal and Mitigation. Each tree with six (6) inches or larger diameter at breast height (D.B.H.) that is removed within the Activity Envelope shall be replaced with one (1) or more trees with total D.B.H. at least equal to the caliper(s) of the tree(s) removed, to the maximum extent practicable. Any tree that (i) is diseased, or (ii) is required to be removed pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 7-200, as those requirements may be varied by a wildfire expert approved by the County, may be removed and no replacement shall be required. All revegetation shall also comply with the Pitkin County Revegetation Guidelines. Required replacement trees that do not survive for at least one (1) year after installation shall be replaced at the owner's expense, and the County may require financial security for such replacement pursuant to Sec. 7-20-130(b)(7). A total of 3 Blue Spruces wfth diameters greater than 6° are proposed to be removed to accommodate the proposed development (totaling 36.5' caliper) This has been noted on the landscape plan (Section VI, illustration #4). (16) aspens of 2.5' caliper are being proposed to replace the caliper of trees removed. Replacement trees have been indicated on the schematic landscape plan, and the applicant agrees to the replacement of all trees not surviving for at least (1) year per the requirements of this code. d) Protection of Natural Terrain. The County Engineer or Community Development Director shall suggest and may require design and construction techniques that lessen or mitigate any physical and visual damage caused by the proposed activity or development to Constrained Areas or to the natural terrain, STAHL APPLICATION FOR ACTIVITY ENVELOPE/SITE PLAN REVIEW 7 PID# 2645-042-01-009 00()009 stream vegetation, and other natural features of the landscape within the Activity Envelope. Techniques shall include, but are not limited to: 1. Revegetation: Revegetation and reforestation utilizing native or similar horticufturel material, to be completed during the first planting season after construction; where vegetation is removed, it shall be replaced with vegetation that will reach similar density and height to that removed within two (2) years following conclusion of construction.

WILDFIRE HAZARDS (Sec. 7-20-60) This section establishes the standards for development in wildfire hazard areas. The level of hazard is determined primarily by grade or slope and continuity of fuels. As a general guideline, low hazard is located on slopes of zero to twenty (0-20) percent with discontinuous fuels; moderate hazard is located on slopes of ten to twenty (10-20) percent with continuous fuels, or on slopes greater than twenty (20) percent with discontinuous fuels; and severe hazard is located on slopes of greater than twenty (20) percent with continuous fuels. a) ~Idflre Hazards Map Areas of "Severe Wildfire Hazard° and "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard° are designated on the Pitkin County adopted Wildfire Hazard Area Maps, which are maintained in the Community Development Department. However, the maps are only a general reference, and actual wildfire hazards shall be field verified. In the event field verification identifies areas of wildfire hazard not identfed on such maps, the provisions of this Sec. 7-20.80 shall appry to such areas. In each case where an applicant's property is located partially or entirety within an area of "Severe Wildfire Hazard° or "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard,° a wildfire expert acceptable to the County shall visit the property to evaluate the level of risk in more detail. The wildfire expert may confirm the levels of risk indicated on the Wildfire Hazard Area Maps, or may recommend that all or a portion(s) of the site be STAHL APPLICATION FOR ACTIVITY ENVELOPE/SITE PLAN REVIEW 14 PID# 2645-042-01-009 ®®V~1~ reclassified to a higher or lower level of wildfire risk. In addition, the wildfire expert shall make recommendations regarding any mitigation measures that should be implemented in light of the proposed activity or development, and such recommendations shall be considered by the County in the Site Plan process. The pre-planning conference noted the property was mapped "Low Wildfire Hazard Area'. b) Wildfire Hazard Area Delineation and Activity Envelope If requested by the Community Development Department during apre-application conference, the Site Plan shall delineate all areas of °Severe Wildfire Hazard" and "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard" within the Activity Envelope and within one hundred (100) feet outside the Activity Envelope. In the case of varying hazard levels within the Activity Envelope, it shall be sufficient to label the entire Activity Envelope wRh the highest level hazard existing in any part of such area. The Activity Envelope should be designed to avoid areas of "Severe Wildfire Hazard°, and to mitigate wildfire hazards in areas of "Low to Medium Wildfire Hazard° as set forth in this Sec. 7-200. All wildfire mitigation and creation of defensible space shall occur within the Activity Envelope. This was not requested per the pre-application conference. c) Standards Applicable to All Wildfire Hazard Areas Development is allowed in wildfire hazard areas subject to conformance with the following development standards, (which may be varied upon recommendation by the wildfire expert), and conformance with the additional standards in subsection (d) as applicable. (1) DEFENSIBLE SPACE The area around all buildings/structures, limited by property boundaries that may limit a property owner's ability to comply with this section, shall incorporate landscaping with wildfire defensible space considerations as follows (note: actual vegetation manipulation to meet these conditions may not be necessary where the natural vegetation patterns have already fulfilled these conditions): (a) Brush, debris and nonornamental vegetation shall be removed wthin a minimum ten foot (10') perimeter around all structures. The proposed application will meet this requirement. (b) Vegetation shall be reduced to break up the vertical and horizontal continuity of the fuels at a minimum of a thirty (30) foot perimeter around a structure buiR on flat ground. (For greater sbpes, reference the CSFS Safety Zone chart in Wildfire Guidelines For Rural homeowners, which provides general guidelines that may be modified by a wildfire expert acceptable to the County). The proposed application will meet this requirement. The existing developed property contains a number of evergreen trees within the 30' building perimeter which have been recommended for removal per the Basalt Fire District, Exhibk ;q6. (c) Spacing between clumps of brush and vegetation up to the thirty (30) foot perimeter shall be a minimum of two (2) times the height of the fuel.

For purposes of this Sec. 7-20-70, Constrained Areas shall include, but shall not be limited to, locations that include: any portion of a ~STAHL APPLICATION FOR ACTIVITY ENVELOPE/SITE PLAN REVIEW 19 Pllbk2645-042-01-009 Q®~~~~. wetland; riparian habitat; critical wildlife habitat; severe winter range, and/or winter concentration areas; wildlife migration corridors or habitat; wildlife production, birthing or calving areas; important watertowl and wading bird habitat areas; significant mountain sage, aspen, and mountain shrub dominated habitat; and rare, imperiled, sensitive, threatened, or endangered species critical habitat. (a) Wildlife Habitat Maps Areas of designated wildlife habitat are shown on the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) Species Activity Maps (the Wildlife Maps), which are maintained in the Community Development Department and hereby adopted by reference, and may be amended from time to time by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Areas shown on those maps are known to be wildlife habitat areas by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. In all cases, mapping will be field verified by the Colorado Division of Wildlife or a wildlife expert approved by Pitkin County. The following regulations shall apply to all areas known to be wildlife habitat as a result of such field verification, regardless of whether those areas are mapped on the wildlife maps. (b) General Principles Delineation of the Activity Envelope, and the location and design of activities and structures within the Activity Envelope, shall be based on consideration of the five (5) principles listed in subsections (1) through (5) below. These principles shall be evaluated not only on a site specfic basis, but should also be used to consider the location and role of the property in the context of larger habitat and wildlife patterns. Implementation of these principles may also include consideration of connectivity between other parcels and the cumulative effect of the proposed activity or development in light of other activity in the area affecting related habitat areas. Approved development shall: (1) Maintain large, intact areas of native vegetation and habdat area by preventing fregmentation of those patches by development. Not applicable: The proposed Activity Envelope occurs within an existing subdivision of small single family home lots. (2) Protect rare landscape elements such as locally rare vegetation, unique rock formations, sheltered draws or drainage ways, or other features, and guide development towards areas of landscape containing more common elements. WRh the exception of the Little Elk Creek drainage, which will be addressed later, there are no rare landscape elements on this property. (3) Maintain connections among wildlife habitats by identifying and protecting corridors for movement. The proposed lot of 1.36 acres awurs within an existing development on the location of an existing residence and will not impact wildlife corridors more so than the current scenario. (4) Contribute to the regional protection of rare species by protecting their habitat localy. Not applicable as rare species have not been identified on this property. (5) Minimize the combined and cumulative impacts of activities and development on wildlife species, wildlife habitat, wildlife movement, and unique landscape elements.

Nct applicable -the proposed structure is located on the valley floor (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 of low-reflectance 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 of the ridgeline so that it appears to be an element of the natural ridgeline. The proposed structure shall use natural materials, cooring and low-reflectance materials as noted on the elevations. The valley floor location makes replicating surrounding ridgelines less applicable, though the forms proposed are indicative of tred'Rional ranch house compounds. (6) The proposed development shall preserve natural vegetation and avoid development within irrigated meadows, to the maximum eMent practicable. The proposed development is within an existing subdivision and shall not further impact any irrigated meadows. (7) The proposed development shall install utilities in locations and through procedures that minimize visual impacts to the maximum extent practicable.

The property includes approximately 1.42 acres and an existing single family home. The house is accessed off Alexander Avenue by an on-grade gravel driveway. Beginning at the entrance to the driveway, a small sandbar willow (a.k.a. coyote willow) community has emerged. Immediately adjacent to the willow on both sides of the driveway we noted a healthy community of Baltic rush, which transitions within approximately 35 feet to a grass upland community of crested wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and junegrass, as well as plumeless thistle, rabbitbrush, big sage, quaking aspen, peachleaf willow, Ponderosa pine, and Rocky Mountain juniper. While the willow and Baltic rush are typical indicators of wetlands,' the ground was dry and the soils hazd. A soil pit was excavated to check for hydric soils and none were found. There was also no solid indication of hydric or peraquic conditions, nor was there any indication of redoximorphication of minerals. Additionally, there were no secondary indicators to support a proper hydrologic regime, live roots were found to exceed 17 inches in depth from the ground surface, there were several species of plants located in the area of the rush that are not adapted to anaerobic soil conditions, soils analyzed were not hydric, there were no hypertrophied lenticels found on woody plants, and no adventitious root systems were noted. Of the three parameters required to reach a jurisdictional determination, only the vegetative parameter The plant indicator status of Baltic rush and sandbar willow is facultative wet, indicating tha[ it occurs in wetlands more than 67% of the time. However, this also means that it can occur in upland or transition areas as well and other wetland indicators must be used to detaminejurisdiction wetland status. 0o1~~5a BEACH ENVIRONMENTAL, LLC Page Z August A, 2009 was partially met and as explained in footnote 1, this parameter was not conclusive. Furthermore, we found a small community of plumeless thistle among the Baltic rush, and while thistle do well in wet conditions, they do not typically exist in conditions where soils are saturated for long periods of the growing season - a parameter requirement for a finding of jurisdictional wetlands. The property also contains rabbitbrush and sage in close proximity to the rush; two additional species that prefer dry soil conditions. To the south and east of the residence there exists a small water channel with a community of sandbaz willow, peach-leaf willow, Nebraska sedge, Colorado juncus and Baltic rush immediately adjacent to the channel but not extending out more than approximately 3 feet on either side. While we understand that this channel may have been classified as a branch of Elk Creek, the fact that it has been channeled, has no sinuosity, appeazs to begin as a diversion from Elk Creek, courses perpendiculazly to the drainage way, et cetera, indicates that it exists because of human manipulation and not as a natural extension or branch of the creek. Nevertheless, the channel provides some value to the Elk Creek ecosystem and may be a contributing factor to the growth of rushes in discontinuous azeas. Therefore, based on an evaluation of the hydrologic, vegetative and soil characteristics of the Stahl Property, we conclude that jurisdictional wetlands exist on the property immediately adjacent to the channel and for only a short distance. Jurisdictional status does not extend to the two azeas comprised of willow, Baltic rush, native grasses and thistle that were found immediately adjacent to the driveway. These wetlands are part of a very small riparian corridor but it is a discontinuous cortidor and provides limited value in terms of protection and movement for small animals and birds. These findings confirm your position that a fifty foot setback from the channel is all that appeazs to be required. With regard to the riparian values associated with the channel and as stated above, this riparian corridor provides minimal ecological value as there is no continuous vegetative corridor, the vegetation that exists is limited in species, size and vitality. The Stahl property and two adjacent properties are developed residential sites within the Elk Creek watershed. For additional clazification, I am attaching several photographs documenting the azeas evaluated.

I understand your client wants to replace their existing home with another. You provided a site plan that shows the existing home, access and the changes that are desired. At this time the proposal is for buildings less than 5000 square feet in size. The fire district can serve this proposal and I offer the following details. The property lies within Little Elk Creek Subdivision that is an existing established development having adequate access and a pressurized hydrant system for fire fighting. The hydrant in the azea can flow in excess of a 1000 GPM at 20 psi. This flow rate in conjunction with the Pitkin County sprinkler resolution towazd any structure over 5000 square feet is in conformance to the International Fire Code as adopted by the fire district. Pitkin County may require an activity envelope review prior to building pemut submittal of this project. Part of the process would be a wildfire assessment by one of the listed experts who provide this service to the county. Our detemtination of the terrain most likely places this in the low to moderate wildfire hazazd range. The assessment would stipulate defensible space measures if they aze needed. If I can be of further assistance in regazds to this application please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

Box 574 421 Main St. Cl Minton, CO 81645 RE: Engineer's Report Stahl Residence: Lot 14, Block 3, Filing 2, Little Elk Creek Village Subdivision in Pitkin County, Colorado Martin Engineering, LLC (ME) has prepared the following Engineer's Report for the proposed Site plan and revised Activity Envelope Review for Lot 14, Block 3, Filing 2 (Lot 14) of the Little Elk Creek Village subdivision, located in Pitkin County, Colorado. This report addresses the proposed drainage, access, water, electric and other utilities to service the proposed site improvements. Introduction Lot 14 is located at 151 Alexander Avenue which is approximately 1 mile west of the intersection of East Sopris Creek Road and Capitol Creek Road in Pitkin County, Colorado. Refer to "Stahl Residence Activity Envelope and Site Plan" prepared by Blueline Architect's for proposed site improvements and a more specific vicinity map. The parcel is 1.36 acres. E~etin¢ Condition The existing site conditions include a single family home with an attached garage and associated utility and landscape improvements. In general, the lot slopes from south to north, with elevations ranging from 7352' to 7364'. The existing single family home is located in the south central portion of the lot, and the land slopes away from the existing structure. Little Elk Creek generally runs on the south lot line. The northern portion of the lot consists of a low lying drainage corridor with dense native grasses. Existing survey information was provided by Blueline Architects. Areas with slopes greater than 15% are hatched and labeled on the Site Drainage Map. Access Access to Lot 4 is off of Alexander Avenue which extends south from East Sopris Creek Road. The proposed driveway matches the same existing driveway location from the edge of the Alexander Ave. cul-de-sac. It then veers more westerly on the lot than the existing driveway alignment. The proposed driveway will provide access to the proposed Garage location and provide for on-site guest parking. The proposed gravel drive way has a minimum 16 feet wide driving surface and a maximum grade of approximately 4%. Modifications will be made as necessary in response to referral comments that may be submitted by the Basalt Fire Protection District. Drainage Pitkin County Code requires that developed runoff volumes and peaks should not exceed that of the existing site. The code also requires that historic drainage paths are maintained and that best management practices are used to treat stormwater onsite. The proposed site will generally match the 1062, Avon Colorado 81620 (970) 748-0274 existing site as far as impervious areas are concerned, therefore, no additional stotmwater runoff will be created by the proposed development. Since no detention is provided on the existing site, no detention is proposed for the proposed site. On the east side of the property, water will follow it's historic pattern and drain into the willow grasses and percolate into the groundwater system. Little Elk Creek generally flows along the south lot line of the site. The proposed house is setback a minimum of 50' away from and will be set a minimum of 3' above the north edge of creek bank. Proposed Grading and Drainage Plan Refer to Sheet I -Site Drainage Map for the grading and drainage onsite. The plan includes over lot grading, finish floor elevations, access driveway grades, and other elevations. Final proposed contours, spot elevations, and other grading infomration are depicted. Surface drainage will be collected from roof drain systems and hard surfaces in drainage swales as nceessary to route drainage to the historical drainage paths. The storm water runoff from the north side of the proposed house and garage will be routed in drainage swales to the north to follow the historic drainage path offsite. Storm water runoff to the south will flow via drainage swales directly into Little Elk Creek. Erosion Control The Site Ihainage Map delineates appropriate best management practice recommendations for erosion and sedimentation control associated with the construction. Appropriate silt fencing will be placed around the down gradient perimeters of all disturbed areas. Erosion logs and/or hay bales are depicted as necessary to control erosion and sedimentation in constmcted drainage swales and at culvert inlets. Water The existing single family home is served by the Little Elk Creek Subdivision community water system. The existing service will continue to provide domestic water service to the lot. Onsite Wastewater System The onsite wastewater system (OWS) is being designed by others. The OWS will be coordinated the proposed access, drainage, and utility improvements by Marcin Engineering. Electric, Telephone, Cable, Gas Utility services are provided to the existing single family home. The existing services will continue to serve the proposed single family home, and will extended to the proposed garage as necessary. Conclusion Based on our field information and studies performed and due to the fact that the proposed residence is simply replacing the existing residence, the proposed driveway alignment and activity envelope meets the intent and standards of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.

I don't know at what point in this process I might respond to these comments, but if I may: In response to the vegetation comments, the wildfire mitigation section of the Land Use Code clearly indicates no new Conifer trees shall be placed within 10' of a residence, all branches (assuming existing and future) shall be,15' clear of chimneys, and tree crown separation within the 30' perimeters shall have a minimum of ten feet between crowns. The Basalt Fire Chief with whom we met urged us that he would prefer not to see any coniferous trees or sage brush within 30' of this structure though obviously this is note enforceable under the Land Use Code. 7-20-1Oc does not state that removed trees must be replaced with the same type tree, but only that removed trees be replaced with an equal caliper of new trees. The solution which has been proposed indicates groupings of deciduous Aspen trees which screen much of the structure while meeting the requirements of the wildfire mitigation section of the Land Use Code. Deciduous trees also allow passive solar heating of the home in the winter months on the south, east, and west sides of the structure. With our relatively small lot, there are not a lot of places left to start placing evergreens. Additionally, we are placing a geo-exchange loop field and the septic field to the north of the lot (an environmental decision we are committed to) neither of which can have trees planted on top of them. We feel we have done a balanced job of screening the house from its neighbors and from the street, without setting the house behind a wall of trees which is not natural looking nor does doing this have the same feel as the vegetation around other the other structures in the neighborhood. In response to the geo-exchange field, the applicant will obviously obtain the required earth moving permits as well as meet the Environmental Health Dept. checklist. The geoexchange field is a standard closed loop horizontal system which will be completely buried and will be more than 100' from the stream setback. The applicant is also obtaining the required state variance to place the septic leech field within 100' of the geoexchange loop field. Thanks for your consideration of this response.

Please note that we are not objecting to the application we are providing comments to include in the review. Generally, it appears that the development is located in the appropriate place on the lot as it intends to cover much of the old house footprint. Our concern has to do with the proposed landscaping. We note that a number of spruce trees and lodge pole pine trees are being removed and the proposal is to replace them with approximately 16 Aspens, 2.5" each. Further, the proposed trees appear to be concentrated on the side of the house, between the house and its closest neighbor. We would suggest two changes to this approach: 1. Evergreen trees should be replaced with evergreen trees, not with Aspens. Aspen trees will sprout naturally on properties in our area due to the high water table, so planting new ones isn't appropriate mitigation. Spruce and lodge pole pines will have better screening qualities and have been introduced on many properties throughout the subdivision. These should be required for this property. 2. The screening should go in front of the house, not just on the side. The proposed house has elements that are quite a bit taller than the prior house and it would be nice if some of the screening could benefit those of us who will be seeing it from their properties. Overall this seems like a well conceived project. We would hope that our suggestions could be incorporated in the project to enhance it further. Thank you. 2 3 PUBLIC NOTICE RE: Stahl Activity Envelope, Site Plan Review, and Scenic Review with Vested Rights (Case P099-09) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that. an application has been submitted by Bari Stahl (1704 Foothill Drive South, Golden, CO 80401) requesting approval for an Activity Envelope and Site Plan with vesting to redevelop a single family residence.

I understand your client wants to replace their existing home with another. You provided a site plan that shows the existing home, access and the changes that are desired. At this time the proposal is for 1089 JW Drive, Carbondale, Co 81623 Phone:(970) 704-0675 • Faz: (970) 704-0625 www.basalt6re.org i ~-~ Z buildings less than 5000 square feet in size. The fire district can serve this proposal and I offer the following details. The property lies within Little Elk Creek Subdivision that is an existing established development having adequate access and a pressurized hydrant system for, fire fighting. The hydrant in the area can flow in excess of a 1000 GPMat 20 psi. This flow rate in conjunction with the Pitkin County sprinkler resolution toward any structure over 5000 square feet is in conformance to the International Fire Code as adopted by the fire district. Pitkin County may require an activity envelope review prior to building permit submittal of this project. Part of the process would be a wildfire assessment by one of the listed experts who provide this service to the county. Our determination of the terrain most likely places this in the low to moderate wildfu•e hazard range. The assessment would stipulate defensible space measures if they are needed. I,f I can be of further assistance in regards to this application please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
