AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Regular Meeting- January28, 1998
SUBJECT: Sakson 1041 Hazazd Review and Conceptual Submission
FROM: Rick Magill, Senior Planner
THRU: Cindy Houben, ommunity Development Director
~~'`~"
APPLICANT: Drew Sakson
APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: Jeff Bier
REQUEST: The applicant requests approval for establishment of a building envelope
for an existing single-family home and customary accessory uses on a parcel located off
of Dorais Way, north of Redstone. The structure on the property was originally permitted
as a gazage, then later converted to a residential dwelling unit without the benefit of a
building permit.
ISSUE: Vince Urbina of the State Forest Service is concerned about the access to the
property for emergency vehicles. The one-lane road (Dorais Way) is currently in need of
grading and in some areas may exceed the County standard of 12% centerline gradient.
Mr. Urbina suggests that road improvements be considered as part of this land use
review. The CSFS has in the past required that turnouts be built along Dorais Way to
accommodate emergency access. Staff feels that one turnout along the driveway to the
Sakson parcel could be constructed to allow for emergency access. The Cazbondale Fire
District has in the past suggested that driveways in this area should be a minimum of 12
feet wide, with a minimum inside turning radius of 33 Feet, and maximum grade should
be limited to 12 percent.
The P&Z recommended that the Applicant be required to contribute 25% of the cost of
the road improvements (there are 4 lots served by this road), prior to the issuance of
building permits. The County Engineer and the Cazbondale Fire District must approve
said improvements. The Applicant agreed with this solution at the October 14, 1997 P&Z
meeting. Staff has included an appropriate condition in the draft resolution.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the P&Z recommend that the Board of County
Commissioners adopt a motion to approve the Sakson 1041 Hazard Review, subject to
the conditions in the attached draft resolution.

STAFF ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL: The following is a summary review and
analysis of the applicant's proposal relative to the most applicable policies and standards
of the Land Use Code.
1041 Environmental Hazard Review
Geologic Hazard Areas-
The pazcel is encumbered by steep slopes, some exceeding 30%. A building
envelope has been proposed which avoids slopes exceeding 20%, except for a small
area behind the existing residence. This area of steep slopes was created when the
structure was built into the hillside. The azea immediately in front of the dwelling
contains slopes of about 5 percent. The Colorado Geological Survey indicates that the
present structure is located in an excavation in the nose of a small debris fan lobe
which affords a fair amount of protection from any recurring events and, as such,
constitutes the best location on the site. Jeff Hynes does recommend minor overlot
grading and filling of a small channel uphill of the residence and the installation of
some sort of perimeter drainage system along the back of the structure extending
across the southeast corner of the excavation to address some minor erosion and
slumping taking place in this area. Staff recommends that a drainage and erosion
control plan be submitted to the County Engineer for approval, prior to the issuance
of a building permit.
Wildfire Hazards-
The State Forest Service has rated the wildfire hazard as medium for the proposed
building envelope. The vegetation is mainly aspen, with scattered Rocky Mountain
maple, chokecherry, Gambel oak and juniper. Vince Urbina is concerned about the
access to the property for emergency vehicles. The one-lane road (Dorais Way) is
currently in need of grading and in some azeas may exceed the County standard of
12% centerline gradient. Mr. Urbina suggests that road improvements be considered
as part of this land use review. The CSFS has in the past required that turn-outs be
built along Dorais Way to accommodate emergency access. Staff feels that on ttu-n-
out along the driveway to the Sakson parcel could be constructed to allow for
emergency access. The Carbondale Fire District has in the past suggested that
driveways in this area should be a minimum of 12 feet wide, with a minimum inside
turning radius of 33 feet, and maximum grade should be limited to 12 percent. The
County Engineer is reviewing the condition of the road and will submit comments
prior to the P&Z meeting. Staff will attempt to contact the Carbondale Fire District
for their specific comments on this application prior to the P&Z meeting.
Wildlife Habitat-
The Division of Wildlife determined that the subject property is within elk
winter range. There is a substantial amount of winter use in this area due to it's location
relative to the more developed azeas of Redstone. Black bear inhabit this azea and
Bighorn sheep occupy the cliffs and the ridge to the east. Kevin Wright has suggested that
expansion of the residence not occur to the east or uphill of the existing residence. Mr.
Wright also suggested a number of mitigation measures for the property that have been
included as conditions of approval. Mike Villa, the County's Wildlife Biologist, concurs
with the recommendations of the Division of Wildlife.
2
Conceptual Cnbmission Policies and Requirements
All development in Pitkin County must show compatibility with and
consideration for a set of guiding policies and minimal standazds set out in Article 2 of
the Land Use Code. It is staff s opinion that the applicant can comply with these policies
and standards.
Water and Sewer
There is an existing well located in the middle of the proposed building envelope.
The Environmental Health Department will require that the applicant demonstrate the
quality and quantity of the water supply, and that the well can meet setback requirements
from the septic system, prior to the issuance of a septic permit.
There is an existing septic system for the dwelling unit that was permitted by the County
in 1982. The Environmental Health Department will require that the applicant submit a
new soils test and locate the corners of the existing system to confirm it's size. The EHD
requires the receipt and approval of a septic permit prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy.
Building Envelopg
Staff is recommending that a building envelope be Yevised to exclude the azea
behind the existing structure (see revised site plan). This suggested revision is due to the
comments of the DOW and the existence of steep slopes behind the residence. The
primary building envelope also has to be revised to be outside of the 30-foot front yard
setback. Staff recommends that the area within the setback be utilized as a septic field
construction envelope, if necessary to meet setback from the well requirements. The
County does not consider a septic field as a structure within the setbacks. Board of
Adjustment approval of a variance would be required if the primary envelope is within
the setback.
Dwelling unit
The Chief Building Official will require that the structure be inspected to insure
compliance with the Uniform Building Code, prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy for the residence. The CBO also recommends that the foundation be inspected
and certified by a professional engineer, prior to the issuance of a CO.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommend approval of the Sakson 1041 Hazard Review, subject to the following
conditions:
1. The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the application
and in the public meetings.
2. Prior to building permit application, the Applicant shall record a 24 x 36 inch mylaz
1041 Hazazd Review Site Plan which meets the approval of the Community

Department, prior to the issuance of a building permit. The Site Plan shall include
the following 1041 Hazard Review Warning and Disclaimer:
"The provisions of these regulations do not in any way assure or
imply that areas outside of designated hazard areas will be free from
hazards, or that approved mitigation measures will guarantee the
safety of any property."

Re: Sakson 1041 Wildfire Hazard Review
Rick,
I inspected the property with Jeff Bier the owner's representative on September
25th. Access to the property is via the Dorais Way Road. At the time of my
inspection the road was in tough shape so the going was real slow. As you
probably know, this is primarily a one lane road and on private property. On my
way in to the Sakson parcel it occurred to me that the access to the properties at
the end of this road is very poor. There is no way for two vehicles to pass each
other on this road. For the number of people who currently live on this road that
is may be okay. However, in the event of an emergency such as a wildfire this
road could create some serious problems. This problem will only get worse as
more homes are built along this road. Look over the enclosed Wildland/Urban
Interface Fire Facts sheet that John Denison of our office put together. Notice
that the inability of vehicles to pass each other in a wildfire situation was the
major cause of death in the Oakland Hills fire. Both the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 299 standard for the Protection of Life and Property from
WI dfl jt~ and the Colorado State Forest Service (C~~~)~N11Slfl.[~ Safety: Model
Regulations for Protecting People & Homes in Subdivisions and Develop
place a strong emphasis on road width and dual access/egress. I believe that the
planning department and the commissioners need to scrutinize this road situation
closer as was done in the Terliamis Tracts. The recent improvements on the Stone
Road in the Terliamis Tracts will benefit access and egress in the future as more
homes are built in that subdivision.
The building site has a west aspect with a 5-15% slope. The vegetation is aspen
with scattered Rocky Mountain maple, chokecherry, Gambel oak and juniper in the
understory. I would rate the wildfire hazard as medium because of the presence
of aspen as the dominant species. This property is one of the last parcels using
the Dorais Way road. Implementing defensible space recommendations would be
a prudent move, even though, the wildfire hazard is only rated as medium. My
recommendations to lower the wildfire potential and create defensible space are as
follows. RECEIVED

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SAKSON -PAGE 2
11 For a distance of 10 feet around all structures establish and maintain a 10 foot
buffer where vegetation can be maintained at 6 inches or less (i.e., mowed grass).
Woody vegetation should not be planted within this perimeter. In addition,
firewood or other flammable material should not be stored here.
21 For a distance of 50 feet around all structures thin overstory trees so that
crowns are no closer than 10 feet. I would favor leaving aspen over the other tree
species since this seems to be more of an aspen site. Aspen stands usually have
a lower wildfire hazard rating compared to conifer or Gambel oak/serviceberry
vegetation.
31 Remove the lower limbs on trees that remain to a height of 10 feet or half the
total height whichever is least. By removing the ladder fuels the opportunity for a
ground fire to become a crown fire is reduced.
41 Remove all fallen and standing dead trees for a distance of 100 feet.
I discussed the current road situation with Bill Gavette of the Carbondale Fire
Department. He may want to comment on the road as well.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

RE: Sakson 1041 Hazard Review & Conceptual Submission
Parcel ID# 2729-092-00-015
I have reviewed the above referenced application and offer the following
comments:
ZONB: AFR-2, two acre minimum lot size
This parcel contains 1.34 acres and is non-conforming in size.
SETBACKS: The required setbacks for this parcel are:
30 foot front yard setback
20 foot side yard setback
30 foot rear yard setback
The proposed building envelope lies within the front yard setback.
Development within this area is not permitted without the approval of
the Board of Adjustment.
FLOOR AREA: The allowed floor area on this parcel is the sum of the
following calculations:
Lot Area in Square Feet Ratio
0 - 25,000 x .13
25,000 - 50,000 x .09
50,001 - 100,000 x .OS
100,000+ x .O1
HEIGHT: Although not measured, the existing structure appears to
comply with County height regulations.
OTHER: Development is not permitted outside of approved building
envelopes unless specified by this approval. This includes entry or
ranch gates, septic systems and landscaping.
It is unclear whether the proposed building envelope lies outside of the
25 foot setback from the existing drainage, as required by the State
Department of Natural Resources (see letter in application by Jeffrey L.
Hynes).
The applicant should be required to submit a building permit application
for the residence by a given date.

Re: Sakson 1041 Hazard Review & Conceptual Submission
Parcel ID # 2729-092-00-015
The Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department has reviewed the details of the
Sakson 1041 Hazard Review & Conceptual Submission application under the authority
of the Pitkin County Land Use Code and has the following comments.
ADEQUATE PROVISIONS FOR WATER NEEDS: Sections 2-17 and 3-1104:
"It is the policy of the County to iaswe the availability of a water supply of adequate quality, quantity, presswe and dependability
for fire protecfion and support of a proposed land use prior to approval of the use. The County shall requue land uses to hook up
to existing public systems if service is available."
This Department needs adequate information on the quantity and the quality of water
available. This can be done from tests of the well present on-site by a water engineer's
or well driller's report. The applicant must ensure that the water quality is acceptable by
having it tested by a lab such as the Snowmass Water and Sanitation District or Aspen
Consolidated Sanitation District. The well must meet the setback requirement from the
septic system. If it does not, a new septic system will have to be installed that meets the
setback requirements. Unfortunately, according to our records, the septic system is
located in approximately the location shown on the site map as the well.
It is recommended that low water landscaping (xeriscaping) be used to maintain the
well yield, and that the timing of,any sprinkler systems be decreased for low water
plants. The Colorado State University Cooperative Extension office can be contacted for
more information on xeriscaping.
A condition of approval for this application is the receipt of information
documenting that the location of the well(s) meet setback requirements and
that quantity/quality of the well water are adequate. Without meeting these
requirements a septic permit and building permit can not be issued.
Rin4d on R yAnd Popee 1
SEWAGE TREATMENT AND COLLECTION: Sections 2-18 and 3-1105: "It is the policy of the
County to ensure that adequate sewage freatment facilities are available [o serve existing and new developments. Public and
private sewage disposal systems and connections to such systems shall comply with the sewage disposal guidelines of Pitkin
County's Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulafion."
Lots in the Sakson area are served by individual septic systems. All such systems
installed within Pitkin County require septic permits issued by the Environmental
Health Department, and must comply with the County's septic regulations. The
existing system was apparently permitted in 1982 to a previous owner, Jack Beautifish.
To determine if it is adequate under today's regulations will probably require a new
soils test and locating the corners of the existing system to confirm its size.
A condition of approval for this application is the receipt and approval of the
septic permit by the Environmental Health Department.
WATER QUALITY IMPACTS: Sections 2-14 and 3-705 and 3-710:
"It is the policy of the County to preserve and protect its present water resources. To this end it is the policy of the County that no
land use be initiated which would adversely affect the quantity, quality, or accessibility of [he County's water resources; or which
would occur at the expense of established water-dependent agricultural activities; or which would result in increased salinization
of water resources, loss of minimum stream flows, further destruction of wildlife habitat, or major expenditures to reacquire or
redistribute major water resources. It is also the policy of the County to maintain a natural vegetative buffer along its surface
waters such that the surface and groundwaters of the azea are not encroached upon by land uses or other human activities which
could cause deterioration of water quality or impair the natural treatment processes provided by meadows and wetlands."
The Environmental Health Department will be addressing water quality impacts on
down stream water quality. This application is not expected to impact down stream
water quality if the minimum horizontal distances between components of the system
and physical features are in accordance with the Pitkin County Sewage Regulations.
The Environmental Health Department is charged with preserving and protecting the
quality of Pitkin County's water resources. Roofs and asphalt areas can be nonpoint
sources of water discharge which can contaminate water supplies. This Department
recommends that nonpoint sources of discharge be retained on the property of origin
which can be accomplished through landscaping, drainage patterns, detention ponds,
and dry wells for water runoff from buildings.
AIR QUALITY: Sections 2-13 and 3-602:
"Only that development is permitted which will not conMbute significantly to degradation of air quality in Pitkin County.
Developments may not constitute an induect or duect air pollufion source under Federal, State or County regulations."
This project is not expected to contribute significantly to degradation of air quality in
Pitkin County, since it will generate very little traffic.
PnntW an NecydM PeM+
FUGITIVE DUST
Activities such as road building and landscaping require a Fugitive Dust Plan, which
will be required if additional work needs to be done on this site. This plan would need
to include, but is not limited to, fencing, watering of haul roads and disturbed areas,
daily cleaning of adjacent paved roads to remove mud that has been carried out, speed
limits, or other measures necessary to prevent windblown dust from crossing the
property line or causing a nuisance.
A condition should be approval by the Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health
Department of the fugitive dust control plan, containing enough measures to
ensure that dust does not become a nuisance or blow onto adjacent property, if
further roadwork or construction are required.
FIREPLACE
The applicant must file afireplace/woodstove permit with the Environmental Health
Department. The less densely populated parts of the county like the Sakson site may
have two devices per building: a maximum of one wood burning fireplace and a second
device which can be either a gas log fireplace or a certified woodstove. In addition,
unlimited numbers of decorative gas appliances are allowed. Coal may not be burned
in any device. No wood burning device may be installed in barns or agricultural
buildings.
A condition of approval for this application is the receipt and approval of the
fireplace/woodstove permit by the Environmental Health Department if any
fireplaces or woodstoves exist or are planned.
CONFORMANCE WITH OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH LAWS: Section 2-7: "lt
is the policy of the County to ensure that no use or development of land is permitted which is in violation of the laws of the
County, the State of Colorado, or the United States of America."
This Department is not aware of any issues of concern regarding other environmental
health laws.

Dear Rick:
REFER TO
For Peap[e
The Sakson parcel located along Dorais Way lies within elk winter
range. There is a substantial amount of winter use in this area
due to its location to the north end away from other homes, dogs,
and disturbance. The adjacent Berry parcel revealed a
substantial amount of browsing, pellet groups, and aspen barking.
Black bear inhabit the area and could cause problems with
improperly stored trash/garbage. Bighorn sheep occupy the cliffs
and ridge to the east.
Impacts to wildlife can be minimized by the following
recommendations:
1. Any home enlargement/expansion be made to the west or
downhill
2. Maintain native vegetation outside building envelope,
including the dead snags which are important for the cavity
nesters. I would strongly encourage the owner to cooperate
and maintain the snags on the adjacent USFS land and not cut
them down for fire wood.
3. discourage any fencing; if fencing is constructed it
should be 48", 3 rail or less, round or split rail, with at
least 18" between 2 of the rails. Any wire fencing be 42",
4 strand or less with a 12" kickspace between the top 2
strands. Any fencing be restricted to building envelope
4. Restrict to 1 dog with a kennel restriction; kennel be
constructed before the C.O. is issued.
5. All trash/garbage be kept in approved bear proof garbage
containers.
6. The site is probably too small for horses but if horses
are kept any horse hay be fenced at owner's expense with 8'
mesh fencing

Dear Mr. Magill:
Re: Sakson 1041 Hazard Review
We have completed our review of
as the general and engineering
inspected on Aug.28,1997.
the above referenced matter as well
geology of the site. The site was
The present structure is located in an excavation in the nose of a
small debris fan lobe which affords a fair amount of protection
from any recurring events and, as such, consitutes the best
location on the site. The possibility of a significant event
disturbing the existing building is accepably small.
The micro topography of the site is such that a small drainage
issues over the top of the cutbank immediately to the south of the
structure and is eroding the bank and causing minor slumping into
the excavation. This problem needs to be remedied by minor overlot
grading and filling of this channel uphill of the house and the
installation of some sort of perimetr drainage system along the
back of the structure extending across the southeast corner of the
excavation. There is some evidence that this was started behind
the building already and it just needs to be completed and
documented properly.
Given these comments we see no geology-related problems with this
site and the existing improvements.
Yours truly

Cc: bude@co.pitkin.co.us
Rick,
If there are 4 lots accessed by a road and not part of a formal
subdivision,
and the road is private and in need of improvements, and there is no
association in place now, the owners of the lots could agree to form a road
association, like a homeowners association, with the ability to assess
property for road improvements and maintenance. this involves forming a
non-profit corporation for the association, adopting bylaws for the
corporation, establishing protective covenants for the lots affected, and a
consent form for each owner to subject his/her property to the covenants.
There would also be a road maintenance agreement with the county,
establishing what the improvement and maintenance standards are and
agreeing
to have the road meet such standards. We have two models already, the Stone
Road Association, for the Terliamis tracts, and the Shield O Mesa Road
Association. In each case the county, in the maintenance agreement, has
agreed to require unwilling owners to join the association as a condition
of
any land use approval or building permit, and to pay a pro rata share of
improvements.
I don't know if Bud has seen the info on this application, but I imagine
driveway standards would apply, and he would have to have some input on
what
improvements are necessary.
I can assist in providing copies of documents we have accepted in the past
for road associations, and the applicant could also call me for other
options, such as a taxing public improvement or metro district.
I didn't think you wanted all the info directly, but let me know if you
need
anything further.
Also, I have a call in to Joe Edwards to see if he will be handling any
aspect of the appeal or otherwise.

We have reviewed the materials submitted on the above referenced
application as well as the general and engineering geology of the
site.
The stand of mature trees and the relatively gentle slope in the
vicinity of the building envelope serve to protect the site from
the rockfall hazard which exists upslopr to the east.
One constraint does limit the building envelope as portrayed on the
site plan. There is a small but significant drainage which crosses
the northern portion of the lot and the building envelope abuts
this feature. There is a well defined channel associated with this
drainage and a 25-foot setback should be established in which no
construction should be allowed.
Given this one comment, we have no objection to the approval of
this application.
Yours truly, `~ /
