Summary. She then focused her presentation by highlighting the items from her own
staff memorandum shown as Attachment A.
Ms. Stark also informed the board of a recent event not included in her packet material.
She explained about a school overnight outing and how a number of the children were
then absent from school upon return. Based on contact information from the children,
finding that those absent had similar symptoms, and further investigation it was
determined to be norovirus. She believes that there was one child who was a-
symptomatic on that trip, on the bus and just spread it among the children.

Dr. Cohen added that it is very difficult to diagnose the ideology as it is hard to find out
from where a virus has come. Generally, 40% is due to food, 20% person to person
and about 5% water. The rest is just unknown.

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Toni Kronberg addressed the board regarding the improvements on the Recycling
Center in Rio Grande Park. She stated her disappointment at not being able to give her
public comment at the Work Session two weeks ago, but was here in order to give that
comment to the board today. She discussed the upcoming work session with City
Council on June 1 and the discussion that is scheduled on proposed public
improvements. She brought several issues to the board's attention saying that she
hopes the board does not spend a lot of time and money on moving forward with those
improvements based on a mistaken belief that the Recycling Center has already been
approved as a Recycle Center ~ d s tersed to more convenielnt and prom nenlocalt on s.

COMMISSIONER COMMENT:
Commissioner Hatfield spoke to Commissioner Kay-Clapper yesterday and informed
the audience that her husband, Tommy had made great progress. He is now sitting up,
eating and able to have a conversation. He will be moved shortly to a less critical care
center. Commissioner Hatfield said that he hopes Tommy will make a speedy and
complete recovery.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 1 REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2010
Commissioner Hatfield then spoke about the. rejected Wexner proposal saying that we
lost a wonderful opportunity. He gave many examples of this lost, among them various
endowments, conservation and recreational opportunities.
Commissioner Richards said that she respects Commissioner Hatfield's service on the
board and his role as an individual decision maker when it comes to these sorts of
matters. However, she said that she would have described a number of the items he
spoke about differently.
Commissioner Richards also reminded everyone that a great way to honor the
sacrifices of our military members past and present was to attend the Memorial Day
Service in Veteran's Park at noon, Monday, May 31. She then asked for a Moment of
Silence to honor our military.
Chair Newman said that the land swap was and is a very difficult discussion and a very
complex issue. He said that this swap was the first one to ever come before the County
in such a way.

He wished them all the best.

STAFF• MIKE KRAEMER, PLANNER
APPELLANT: Buttermilk Basin LLC. James and Jill
Williams are listed as the legal owners
of the lots.
REPRESENTATIVES: Francis Krizmanich and Lucas Peck
SUMMARY: The appellants are appealing Planning and
Zoning Commission Scoring for an Urban Area GMQS request to create an additional
lot and development right; Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution 6-2009 (Rec.
No. 566775) -attachment A. The application did not meet threshold. The entire
application was submitted as a Subdivision Conceptual Submission, Activity Envelope
Review, and GMQS Allotment, however because the application did not meet threshold,
only the GMQS request was reviewed. The appellants have requested that the BOCC
receive the entire application.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 5 REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2010
Commissioner Richards recused herself from this item. She was Mayor of Aspen
at the time the Conservation Easement was signed and therefore believed that
she could not hear this item without bias.
Staff planner, Mike Kraemer, began his presentation as mirrored in his staff
memorandum. The Affidavit of posted notice was turned in to staff.
As requested by Commissioner Owsley, Assistant County Attorney Chris Seldin
explained the appeals process for this item as shown on pages one and two of staff's
memorandum.
Mr. Krizmanich represents the appellants. He proceeded with his presentation based
upon his Appeal Request and the Application for an Urban Growth Management-Quota
System Allotment for a new residence dated September 2009. He started by going over
the two points in his appeal request. The first is whether or not a Conservation
Easement that was intended to encumber the lot is valid as it had no legal description
attached when it was recorded. The City of Aspen once owned this lot and prior to its
sale, placed a Conservation Easement on it to the benefit of the Aspen Oaks
Homeowners' Association.
The County Attorney has counseled staff that it is not the County's responsibility to
decide on the legality of the easement. The board's responsibility is to review the
application based on its merits and to consider the appeal of the GMQS scoring
pursuant to Section 2-20-180(g) and (h) of the Code.
The appellant's second point concerns the scoring of the water portion of the GMQS
application.
Mr. Krizmanich said later in the meeting that there are no weeds on the entire property,
there is a fire hydrant in front of the house, the property is in a metro district and there
are no environmental impacts whatsoever. Yet, he continued, this property was scored
as if it were in some rural and remote area.
Discussion ensued on the Homeowners' Association position and the City of Aspen
position with regard to the Conservation Easement.
Paul Taddune, local attorney, spoke to the board on behalf of the Aspen Oaks
Homeowners' Association. He explained to them that he doesn't think it is very relevant
as the board heard earlier that the easement wasn't taken into account as a
consideration. He further explained that this property was developed by the City in
concert with the Housing Office. The Housing Office was taking the lead and they didn't
include the exhibits that should have been attached to the easement. In addition, he
said, the City attempted to give an easement and the Association would love to have
the easement and they thought that they had an easement, but under the Colorado
Statutes a Homeowners' Association doesn't qualify as a beneficiary. When it comes to
Conservation Easements, it has to be a public entity.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 6 REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2010
But, he continued, the findings in the Conservation Easement, irrespective of whether it
was recorded by the County or City staff properly, are very important. He said that they
are in William Kane's letter and he could recite them to the board, but at this point he
doesn't think that the easement was a factor at all. He thinks that staff independently
scored it and it didn't meet the threshold and the Planning Commission independently
scored it and it did not meet the threshold. And in addition, he continued, there was a
1041 approval that referenced the property and only gave it one building site. He said
that there was a lot of discussion on how valuable this parcel was outside the building
lot from a conservation view.
There was a score of zero in the creative bonus section. Commissioner Owsley asked
why this was scored zero.
Mr. Kraemer responded to this question. He said that it was because there was no
competition. There were not enough applicants to ask for all the allotted floor area for
this QMQS application.
During the meeting, Lance Clarke read a portion of a staff memorandum from Suzanne
Wolff, Senior Planner, to Lance Clarke who, at the time, was the Pitkin County Hearing
Officer. It is dated December 21, 1999 and is attached to the end of this packet
material.
Further discussion ensued.
Chair Newman opened the hearing to public comment.
Charles Malkemus is a 15-year resident who lives on Aspen Oak Drive and is President
of the Aspen Oak Homeowners' Association addressed the board. He said that the
Conservation Easement was handled poorly by the City and probably by their own
Attorney. It was not recorded correctly nor was it recorded- on the property, but it also
couldn't have been made to the Homeowners' Association as they are not considered a
public entity. At a public hearing with the Planning Commission, which he attended, the
property was going to be sold so the City could recoup some of the expenses from the
Burlingame property. He continued by saying that it was going to have one buildable lot
on it with restrictions regarding height and the problem with the water. The well had to
be 600 feet away from the other homeowners. He said they were happy that the City
was going to give them an easement.
It didn't get recorded, as he said, and along with the Association not being the correct
entity the Homeowners' Association filed a disclaimer on it stating that the Association
had no right to it legally. A copy of said Disclaimer is attached to this meeting packet
material. Equitably, maybe they do he said, but not legally. He said that the
Homeowners' Association would like the County to not allow this appeal and deny it for
the reasons that the Planning Department and the other organization have already.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 7 REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2010
decided with the legitimate rules on the development potential of this property, taking
into consideration the items that they did.
Wally Obermeyer is also a resident of Aspen Oak and worked on the Conservation
Easement with Brooke Peterson's help and in meetings with City Attorney John
Worcester. He said that during those meetings, their joint intent was that there would
be that one building site and everything else would be under the Conservation
Easement. He agrees with the fact that it was not properly recorded and also that both
parties were unaware they the easement could not be deeded to a Homeowners'
Association.
Joyce Amico is the President of the Buttermilk Metropolitan District and is a resident of
Aspen Oaks. She informed the board that the Williams property petitioned the
Buttermilk Metropolitan District for one property to be included in the Metro District for
water. They have come back and thought that, for years on, that they would like to
include a potential other property, one on their building site. The issue she has is that in
the beginning it was a one lot deal when they purchased that property and that's how
the District planned for water. At this point, the District is not granting any additional
water rights right now because they are in their own issue with water. It doesn't mean
that the District wouldn't grant rights, but it does mean that right now they only included
in the one home petitioned at the time.
Commissioner Owsley moved to enter Executive Session at 2:03 PM pursuant to
C.R.S. 24-6-402 (4) (b) for attorney client communication. Commissioner Hatfield
seconded the motion. Motion passed 3 to 0 with Commissioner Richards recused
and Commissioner Kay-Clapper not present.
The board returned from their Executive Session and Commissioner Owsley
moved to reconvene the regular meeting at 2:12 PM. Commissioner Hatfield
seconded the motion. Motion passed 3 to 0 with Commissioner Richards recused
and Commissioner Kay-Clapper not present.
Commissioner Hatfield was comfortable with the scoring as it stands.
Chair Newman's opinion on the scoring differed from Mr. Krizmanich's representations.
Lucas Peck tried to clarify this for Chair Newman by saying that P&Z rejected staff's
scoring and scored it themselves. So, to say staff scored something "x" and therefore
they gave due credit is inaccurate when P&Z, in fact, did not give due credit in at least
two instances. Mr. Peck believes the whole argument here today is that if P&Z had
taken staff's recommendation on that as opposed to taking the Conservation Easement
issue into account, it would have gotten to a score of 13.
Lance Clarke said that when the P&Z scores a one or a two, we don't know what they're
taking into account. It's a private scoring, they sit by themselves and they put down the
scoring. Whether it was the Conservation Easement or something else no one knows.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 8 REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2010
Commissioner Hatfield moved to deny the appeal consistent with the Resolution,
including recitals, in the packet. Commissioner Owsley seconded the motion.
Motion passed 2 to 1 with Commissioner Hatfield and Commissioner Owsley
voting aye, Chair Newman voting nay, Commissioner Richards recused and
Commissioner Kay-Clapper not present.
NOTE: Reasons for Chair Newman's nay vote are as follows: Even though the
Conservation Easement is not within the purview of the Commissioners to rule
on, it may have skewed in the minds of P&Z regardless of what staff did. He
would support P&Z going back and re-looking at this with an open mind and a
fresh look to see how that plays out.
FIRST READING AND PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 8 OF
THE PITKIN COUNTY CODE, SPECIFICALLY THE 2006 LAND USE CODE. TO ADD
A NEW SECTION 2-30-30 (h) (10), LOCATION AND EXTENT REVIEW, AND
ADDING LOCATION AND EXTENT REVIEW TO TABLE 2-1 AND THE
"APPLICATIONS MANUAL" -MOTION TO APPROVE ON FIRST READING AND
PUBLIC HEARING AND SET SECOND READING TO JUNE 9, 2010
STAFF: LANCE CLARKE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: There. is a provision in the Colorado Statues (C.R.S.
30-28-110) that requires that essentially any public project proposed by a governmental
entity in the unincorporated area of the County, whether proposed by a city, the County,
a fire district, a metropolitan district, or other jurisdiction, must be submitted to the
Planning Commission for review for conformance with the applicable comprehensive
plan or master plan.
This is a review "type" that we have yet to accommodate in our Land Use Code. We
heretofore have not had standards or an application procedure for this type of review.
There is a recent Colorado Supreme Court case which has highlighted this Statute
provision. A Planning Commission determination on a Location and Extent proposal is
essentially "advisory", as disapproval may be overruled by the governmental jurisdiction
making the proposal.
The Planning Commissioner has recently undertaken two Location and Extent Reviews.
There are a few other such reviews that will be coming to the P&Z in the next few
months, and it is likely there will be several each year in the future.
The purpose of this proposed code amendment is to add a "Location and Extent
Review" to the Chapter 2, "One-Step Review Procedure" section and to the Chapter 2,
"Review and Approval Procedures Summary Table". The language is by and large
directly from the State Statute. Though not required by the State, we are
recommending that the review be an advertised public hearing before the Planning
Commission, since in many cases there will be no other land use review. We are also
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 9 REGULAR MEETING MAY 26, 2010
proposing an amendment to the "Pitkin County Land Use Application Manual", which is
an Appendix to the Code, to specify required application materials for this review.
This amendment does not presuppose one way or the other whether there is an
exemption from other Sections of the Code for governmental jurisdictions. It simply
establishes the standards and procedures for the required Location and Extent Review.
Lance Clarke proceeded to give his presentation to the board as mirrored in his staff
memorandum.
Commissioner Richards rejoined the board at this time so Mr. Clarke gave. his
presentation again in order for her to be on the same page.
Discussion among the board and staff ensued.
Commissioner Richards said that from her understanding, the board cannot expand on
the criteria of a Location and Extent Review.
Mr. Clarke responded by saying that his item (10) (c) says, "A location and extent
review may be undertaken concurrently with any other applicable County review
processes". If there ever is an opportunity, this could, perhaps, give the board a way to
do that.
Commissioner Richards then asked if on second reading the board might like to
expand on that language in (10) (c) mentioned by Mr. Clarke to add the words,
"such as 1041 review" or something like that. She said that we may want to look
forward to our PUD standards, our PUD Codes to protect the integrity of what the
neighbors think they're getting when these sort of development plans get
approved.
Commissioner Hatfield agrees that we have step one and then we direct staff to
implement the other two areas (1041 and PUD) of clarifications as soon as is
reasonably possible.
Commissioner Owsley asked why they don't pass this as it stands and then
follow up with additions.
Mr. Clarke answered that by saying it could take awhile to reinstitute 1041 back
into our Code. In the interim, he thinks it's important that we have a Location and
Extent Review type in our Code.
Chair Newman opened the hearing to public comment. Hearing none, he closed
the public hearings held today.
Commissioner Richards moved to approve the Code Amendment Location and
Extent Review on first reading and public hearing and set second reading to June
