The following sections of this application identify the Code provisions applicable to these
procedures and provide responses to the applicable County standards. First, however, a
brief description of the property and a summary of the prior land use actions taken on the
property are presented below.
B. Property Description and Proposed Development
Red Butte Ranch is located approximately 1 mile northwest of the Aspen City limits, along
McLain Flats Road. A vicinity map locating the subject property within Pitkin County is
included with this application. The vicinity map shows that this property is located on a
bench of land that sits between McLain Flats Road and the Roaring Fork River.
Red Butte Ranch Greenhouse Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review Page 1
000003
The Ranch consists of approximately 136.5 acres. It was originally subdivided into five
residential lots and an open space parcel pursuant to a series of land use approvals
granted by the Board of County Commissioners from 1996 through 2000. In the ensuing
decade several minor amendments were granted, followed by a more significant
amendment approved in 2009. Following is a chronological summary of those actions:
♦ BOCC Resolution 96-69 granted residential allotments for 4 new lots on the
Ranch, in addition to the 1 existing residential unit on the property.
♦ BOCC Resolution 96-73 granted conceptual submission approval for the Red
Butte Ranch Subdivision, subject to conditions.
♦ BOCC Resolution 97 -198 granted detailed submission /final plat approval for the
Red Butte Ranch Subdivision, subject to additional conditions. The final plat for
the subdivision is recorded in Plat Book 55 at Page 42.
♦ BOCC Resolution 99 -188 extended the duration of the vested rights for the Ranch.
The new expiration date for the vested rights was October 22, 2010.
♦ BOCC Resolution 208 -2000 amended the final approval to allow the use of TDR's
to increase the allowable floor area of each lot by 4,000 sq. ft., provided the
additional floor area is built subgrade.
♦ Administrative Decision 04 -2005 made a series of amendments to the approved
plat. Most of these changes pertained solely to Lots 1 and 2 of the subdivision.
Other changes included realignment of the internal ranch road, establishment of a
pond envelope on the Open Space Parcel, and permission to delay the obligation
to extend the common access road and utilities to Lots 2 through 5 until such time
as a certificate of occupancy is sought for a residence on any of these lots.
Administrative Decision 15 -2005 authorized the Employee Dwelling Unit that was
required to be constructed on Lot 2 to be moved to the Open Space Parcel, within
the "Agricultural Buildings Envelope ", adjacent to the Ranch Manager's residence.
♦ Administrative Decision 10 -2007 added an accessory building envelope to Lot 3 for
a children's playground, landscaping, and an access walkway.
♦ BOCC Resolution 080 -2009 granted a major plat amendment to relocate Lots 3, 4
and 5 of the Subdivision and to change their authorized residential square
footages, designated new activity envelopes for these lots, designated a second
agricultural building envelope on the Open Space Parcel and granted an extension
of the vested rights to October 22, 2020. The second amended plat depicting
these changes is still being finalized and has not yet been recorded.
Red Butte Ranch Greenhouse Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review Page 2

The Open Space Parcel on the second amended plat is approximately 98.333 acres in
size and encompasses most of the central portion of the Ranch, including the irrigated
pasture lands. The existing agricultural buildings on the Ranch and the Ranch Managers
residence are also located on the Open Space Parcel.
The new greenhouse is proposed to be built within that portion of the agricultural building
envelope that is located on the north side of Jalanda Lane. This envelope will be
designated on the second amended plat. However, since the second amended plat may
not be recorded before a building permit is requested for the greenhouse, this application
proposes to designate that portion of the envelope. The application is also intended to
obtain site plan approval for the greenhouse.
The configuration of the proposed activity envelope and the plans for the greenhouse are
shown on the activity envelope and site plan. The greenhouse is proposed to be
approximately 24' x 36' (864 sq. ft.) in size. It would be located near the existing hay shed
and be accessed by the short paved apron that now serves the shed from Jalanda Lane.
The elevations that accompany the site plan show that the greenhouse will be a simple
barn -like structure. The greenhouse will be 1 story in height, with a vaulted roof form that
rises to a peak height of approximately 16.5'. An outdoor food garden area will surround
the greenhouse. The greenhouse and garden will be operated as non - commercial uses.
The food and other related plant products grown on -site will be for owners use and will
not be offered for commercial sale.
The conformance of the proposed activity envelope and site plan with the applicable
standards of the Land Use Code is addressed in the sections which follow.

C. Wildfire Hazard (Sec. 7- 20-60)
During the pre - application conference with staff, the applicant was informed that the
County's wildfire hazard maps designate this site as being in an area with a low degree of
wildfire hazard. The Land Use Code no longer requires the applicant to conduct a site
visit with one of the County's designated wildfire experts if the mapped hazard is low.
The mitigation standards for development in wildfire hazard areas are found in Section 7-
20-60 of the Land Use Code. Following are the applicant's responses to these standards.
(1) Defensible Space
(a) Brush, debris, and non - ornamental vegetation shall be removed within a minimum
ten (10) foot perimeter around the structure.
Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement.
(b) Vegetation shall be reduced to break up the vertical and horizontal continuity of the
fuels a minimum of a thirty (30) foot perimeter around a structure built on flat
ground.
Response: There is no such vegetation present within the 30' perimeter.
(c) Spacing between clumps of brush and vegetation within the thirty (30) foot
perimeter shall be a minimum of two (2) times the height of the fuel. Maximum
diameter of the clumps shall be two (2) times the height of the fuel. All
measurements shall be from the edges of the crowns of the fuel.
Response: There is no such vegetation present within the 30' perimeter.
(d) All branches from trees and brush within the thirty (30) foot perimeters shall be
pruned to a height of 10 feet (10) above the ground, and removal of ladder fuels
from around trees and brush.
Response: There is no such vegetation present within the 30' perimeter.

(k) . No flammable mulches shall be placed within two (2) feet of a residence.
Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement.
2. Access
(a) Access roads and driveways shall be built to County standards, however, these
standards may be increased to mitigate wildfire hazards based on comments
provide by the Colorado State Forest Service, the Sheriffs Department, local fire
protection districts, and/or a person approved by the County as an expert in
wildfire areas and mitigation. Where feasible, looped routes of access/egress to a
public road shall be incorporated in the design of a proposed development.
Looped routes of access/egress is defined as two (2) or more dedicated access
roads to the main artery/highway for widely separated ingress/egress, looped
drives with one entrance point or divided single entrances do not satisfy this
condition. Where this is not feasible, the Community Development Department
may approve vehicle turnaround areas a maximum of seven hundred -fifty feet
(750) apart, installed between the road intersection and its terminus. Turnaround
areas shall be the same standard as cul -de -sac turnaround pads; these may be
incorporated in the proposed driveway entries.

D. Scenic View Protection (Sec. 7 -20 -120)
Elevations have been prepared illustrating the proposed design of the greenhouse. If the
staff requests the applicant can also present simulations of how the building will appear
from the road. The applicant did not feel such simulations were necessary for a small
accessory building that will be located next to other agricultural buildings.
Following are the applicant's responses to the County's scenic view protection standards.
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.
Response: The natural characteristics of the Ranch do not offer the opportunity to use
existing topography or vegetation to screen the proposed greenhouse from view.
2. 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 identified in the State Highway 82 Corridor Master Plan and Down
Valley Comprehensive Plan, if possible. If location outside of 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
the site as viewed from those corridors listed above.
Response: The Ranch is visible from McLain Flats Road so it is not possible to fully
avoid the location of this structure within the Scenic View Protection Area. However, the
proposed structure is not located on the highest ground or most visible portion of the site.
In fact, the site is located well below the elevation of the road, helping to reduce its
visibility from the scenic corridor.
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
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 facades to
avoid a wall or row effect, and staggering roofiines to avoid a long unbroken plane.
Response: The proposed greenhouse has been designed to be a small, 1 story
structure with a barn -like appearance. The greenhouse will be just 24' x 36' in size (864
sq. ft.) and will be limited to a height of approximately 16.5' to the peak of the roof. The
structure will be located approximately 450' to 500' from McLain Flats Road and it will sit
well below the elevation of that road, so it will not be a prominent or highly visible structure
from the view corridor.
Red Butte Ranch Greenhouse Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review Page 12

4. The proposed structure shall be placed so that it does not project above a ridgeline
such that a structure silhouettes against the sky when viewed from those corridors
listed above, unless there are no alternate building sites on the lot or parcel.
Response: The proposed structure will not penetrate a ridgeline and will not silhouette
against the sky.
5. The proposed development shall be designed to compliment 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 (particulaHy its roof form) shall
replicate, parallel or compliment the natural form of the ridgeline so that it appears
to be an element of the natural ridgeline.
Response: The materials that will be used are shown on the proposed elevations.
These materials have been chosen to achieve the function of the greenhouse and to
compliment the existing agricultural buildings on the site. The materials include rusted
corrugated metal siding and polycarbonate glazing. For the most part the glazing will be
south facing, away from the road. The only glazing that will face the road will be the vent
at the top of the roof. When the vent is open to release heating within the greenhouse
there may be some minor reflection toward the road. Otherwise none of the glazing will
reflect toward the view corridor.
6. The proposed development shall preserve natural vegetation and avoid
development within irrigated meadows to the maximum extent practicable.
Response: The greenhouse will be located within an irrigated meadow but its footprint
will be so small as to have minimal impact on the amount of irrigated land on the Ranch.
7. The proposed development shall install utilities in locations and through
procedures that minimize visual impacts to the maximum extent practicable.
Response: Any utilities that may be needed for the greenhouse will be installed
underground, most likely within the existing paved drive.
B. All satellite dishes in the proposed development shall be located to minimize
visibility from those rights -of -way listed above and shall use earth tone colors
and/or screening to minimize their visual impact.
Response: There are no satellite dishes proposed in this development.
9. The proposed development shall not utilize earth moving and berms as the primary
Red Butte Ranch Greenhouse Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review Page 13
00001.5
means of compliance with these regulations, but earth moving may be utilized in
conjunction with other techniques to comply with the standards of this section.
Where earth moving techniques are necessary, man -made fomis should be
undulating and natural in appearance.
Response: Earth moving and berms are not proposed as the means of complying with
these regulations.
10. In the Rural Area only, development shall be located so that activities and
development occur in at least one of the locations specified in subsection (e) as
they may apply to the particular property.
Response: The development has been located at the edge of an irrigated pasture, within
the agricultural building envelope that the County has previously determined is the
appropriate location for new agricultural structures on the Ranch.
11. The exterior of all development shall be built or painted with indigenous earth tone
materials or colors.
Response: The elevations demonstrate that the proposed exterior materials will comply
with this requirement.
12. All roofs shall have a non - 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: The portion of the roof that faces south will be made of polycarbonate
glazing, to allow for the necessary solar gain. The portion of the roof that faces towards
the scenic corridor will utilize non - reflective metal materials. The only glazing that will
face the road will be the vent at the top of the roof. When the vent is open to release
heating within the greenhouse there may be some minor reflection toward the road.
Otherwise the glazing will not reflect toward the view corridor.
13. 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 the survival of planted native species.
Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement.
14. To the maximum extent practicable, roads and driveways shall be located to skirt
the edge of avoid dividing meadows and pastures and to avoid major road cuts.
Red Butte Ranch Greenhouse Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review Page 14
00001.6
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: No changes are planned to the location of the existing driveway.

E. Landscaping and Vegetation Protection (Sec. 7 -20 -130)
Following are the applicant's responses to the standards in this section:
(b) General Provisions.
1. Protection of Natural Vegetation. There is not natural vegetation on the site since
the greenhouse will be located in an irrigated meadow.
2. Conformance With Wildfire Regulations. There is no conflict between the County's
wildfire regulations and the requirement to protect natural vegetation on this site.
3. Berms. A berm is not proposed for this site.
4. Landscape Enclosures. Landscaping is not proposed to be used to enclose the
boundary of the parcel.
5. Visibility Clearance. No landscaping is proposed where it would inhibit the visibility
of drivers.
6. Utility Easements. Landscaping will not be installed over a utility easement.
7. Financial Security. The applicant requests that no financial security be required for
this project.
8. Maintenance. The applicant does not propose any landscaping around the
structure. Instead it will be surrounded by a "food forest" in the form of a garden.
(c) Required Landscaping in Rural Areas
1. The applicant agrees to revegetate the areas disturbed by the construction of the
greenhouse. Revegetation will be completed during the first planting season after
construction is completed.
2. The requirements with respect to clustering shrubs and trees into natural
groupings do not apply to this project.
Red Butte Ranch Greenhouse Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review Page 16
000013
III. CONCLUSION
The applicant has responded to the applicable standards of the Pitkin County Land Use
Code, pursuant to direction given during the pre - application conference. Sufficient
evidence has been provided of the project's compliance with said standards, and
commitments have been made to insure that the proposed development will mitigate its
development impacts. The applicant will respond in a timely manner to requests by any
reviewing agency for additional information, or clarification of the statements made herein.

PITKIN COUNTY COMMITY DEVSLOPDMNT DEPARTDMNT
AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION FEES
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and Red Butte Ranch Homeowners Association Inc.
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
I . APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for Activity Envelope and Site
Plan Review (hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 022 -2006
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 prior to a determination of application completeness, APPLICANT shall pay a
base fee in the amount of $1,639 which is based on 5 hours of staff time. 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. Such periodic payments shall be made
within 30 days of the billing date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs
shall be grounds for suspension of processing.
