Janice K. Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO, APPROVING THE ESTATE OF MARVIN TILLMAN SITE PLAN REVIEW AND
ACTIVITY ENVELOPE AMENDMENT
Resolution No.�2012
RECITALS
1. The Estate of Marvin Tillman (hereafter "Applicant") has applied to the Pitkin County Board of
County Commissioners (hereafter "BOCC") to obtain Site Plan approval to construct a new single-
family residence. In addition, the Applicant is requesting an amendment to the approved Activity
Envelope to allow development on slopes in excess of 30%. The parcel is within a designated scenic
view protection area as seen from Snowmass Creek Road.
2. The parcel is located on Shield O Road, on the east side of the road just above the intersection with
Snowmass Creek Road, and is more specifically described in E�ibit A.
3. The parcel contains 1.08 acres and is a nonconforming size parcel within the RS-30 zone district.
4. The Hearing Officer granted approval of an Activity Envelope for the Tillman parcel, pursuant to
Determination No. 01-2008. The neighbor, Stonywood Trust, appealed the approval to the BOCC;
the BOCC denied the appeal and upheld the Hearing Officer's Determination with modifications to
the conditions of approval, pursuant to Resolution No. 079-2008. The Activity Envelope Plan was
recorded in Plat Book 88 at Page 58.
Stonywood Trust filed an appeal with the Pitkin County District Court on July 25, 2008. The District
Court affirmed the decision of the BOCC on August 21, 2010. On October 5, 2010, Stonywood Trust
appealed the decision of the District Court to the Colorado Court of Appeals. The ongoing litigation
imposed a stay on the processing of the Site Plan Review application. The BOCC granted relief from
the stay, pursuant to Resolution No. 76-2011. The BOCC allowed the Applicant to proceed at his
own risk with the Site Plan Review application and the subsequent Board of Adjustment application
for setback variances, but stated that the Applicant shall not submit any building or other
development permit applications, until the litigation has been resolved or further relief from the stay
is granted. The Court of Appeals has since affirmed the judgment of the District Court and concluded
"that the record supports Pitkin County's approval of the Estate's application for an activity
envelope."
6. The BOCC heard this application at duly noticed public hearings on March 14 and Apri125, 2012; at
which times evidence and testimony was presented with respect to this application.
7. The BOCC finds that the Site Plan complies with the applicable standards in the Land Use Code
("Code").
8. The BOCC further finds that is appropriate to modify the approved Activity Envelope to include areas
of slopes in excess of 30% that were previously excluded from the envelope, pursuant to Resolution
No. 079-2008. The BOCC finds that the slopes in excess of 30% within the Activity Envelope are due
to the presence of minor man-made changes in the gradient of an otherwise continuous slope of less than
Resolution No. G�5�-2012
Page 2
30%, and an engineer has asserted that these slopes are not prone to instability and that development
within these areas will not cause greater instability.
9. The BOCC further finds that the proposed development is consistent with the criteria for development
within the Scenic View Protection Area. The residence projects above a ridgeline when viewed from
a portion of Snowmass Creek Road (below/east of the residence and to the south of the residence),
however, there is no alternate building site on the parcel. The residence has been designed to lessen
the visual impact as seen from Snowmass Creek Road to the extent practicable, including limiting the
mass, bulk and height of the residence.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Pitkin County Board of County
Commissioners that it does hereby approve the Estate of Marvin Tillman Site Plan Review and Activity
Envelope Amendment, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on
all successors in interest:
1. The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the current or prior applications or in
public meetings or hearings and shall consider those representations to be conditions of approval, unless
amended by other conditions.
2. The conditions of BOCC Resolution No. 079-2008 shall remain in full force and effect, unless amended
by other conditions herein.
3. The floor area on the parcel shall be limited to a maximum of 1,474 square feet of floor area as shown
on the attached floor plan (Attachment B) and the maximum height of any structures shall be limited
to less than 20 feet as shown on the attached elevations (Attachment C). The 1,474 square feet of
floor area is exempt from growth management.
4. The Applicant shall comply with all standards for development within Scenic View Protection Areas
as represented in the application and approved in this Resolution. The exterior of the residence shall
utilize indigenous earth tone materials or colors and the 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 reflectivity, with the exception of materials associated with solar or
photovoltaic equipment. Driveway lighting is prohibited and all other lighting shall comply with the
lighting code:
5. Prior to submission of any future building permit applications for the residence, the Applicant shall be
required to submit for approval by the County Attorney and Community Development a Site Plan in
accordance with Land Use Code Section 2-30-20(g) and Application Manual Section 2.1.12. The above
referenced approvals shall be a condition precedent to finalization and recordation of them. The Site
Plan shall be amended as follows, prior to recordation:
A. Amend the Activity Envelope to include the areas of slopes in excess of 30% that were excluded
from the envelope recorded in Plat Book 88 at Page 58.
B. Designate a location within the Activity Envelope for a potential future community maiUtrash

development disturbs one (1) acre or more, the Applicant shall apply for and obtain a State
Stormwater Permit. All historic and natural drainage patterns shall be maintained. Stormwater shall
be detained onsite and allow infiltration of runoff prior to discharge. The plan shall ensure that
drainage is directed away from the cut slope below the residence and above Snowmass Creek Road.
E. Submit a construction management plan for review and approval by Planning/Zoning. The plan
shall detail all parking and staging; parking is prohibited along Shield O and Snowmass Creek
Roads.
F. Pay the applicable road and employee housing impact fees.
G. Obtain an On-Site Wastewater Treatment System construction permit from Environmental
Health.
H. Submit a detailed revegetation plan for disturbed areas with appropriate seed mixes for review and
approval by Planning/Zoning. Top soil shall be stored on-site and re-used for revegetation and
landscaping purposes. The plan shall include revegetation of the cut bank above Snowmass Creek
Road with native grasses with temporary irrigation for two growing seasons to ensure the success of
the revegetation.
I. Submit a detailed landscaping plan.
J. Submit a detailed exterior lighting plan. Driveway lighting is prohibited, and exterior lighting shall
be minimized on the north, east and south sides of the residence.
K. A geotechnical engineer licensed in the State of Colorado shall be required to demonstrate that the
foundation can be engineered so that the residence does not destabilize the slope below the house and
above Snowmass Creek Road.
7. Utility lines shall be installed in Snowmass Creek and Shield O Roads to the Activity Envelope, and shall
not be extended through the cut bank above Snowmass Creek Road.
8. Landscaping shall be substantially consistent with the landscaping shown on the site plan. Areas
disturbed by construction shall be re-vegetated within one growing season of the project's
completion. Landscaping shall be completed prior to issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for the
residence.
9. No development in excess of 30" above or below natural grade shall occur within the setbacks of the
parcel, with the exception of driveways and associated retaining walls of up to 6' above or below
natural grade and fencing. Landscaping in the form of berms shall not exceed four feet from the most
restrictive grade. Any development located within setbacks mandated by County zoning regulations
that does not comply with these restrictions shall require a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
Approval of an activity envelope within such setbacks does not assure approval of a variance.
10. The Applicant shall provide adequate engineering of any retaining walls over 4' in height and/or any
improvements to retaining walls over 4' in height. All retaining walls shall be a maximum of 7' in
height.
11. Prior to commencement of any earthmoving or other construction activity, the Applicant shall stake
the corners of the activity envelope and install construction fencing around the construction site
within the perimeter of the activity envelope. The fencing shall remain in place until issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy.
