f WHEREAS, the Snowmass Planning and Zoning Coimnission, pursuant to
;
Section 31-23-206, C.R.S. 1973, has the duty to make and adopt a master
j .

jthis Board's jurisdiction, and I
� .
� WHEREAS, this Board has reviewed the Snowmass Village plan for its i
�
compatibi7ity with master plans and orograms adopted for Pitkin County �
i
and has found serious inconsistencies it cannot condone by approval of �
1
the Plan. 4
s
� NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it does hereby deny � ,
#
� the Snowmass Vi]7age Master Plan for the following reasons: ' �
1. This Board expresses deep concern over the fact that, at the time ;
of the adoption of the Snowmass Village Plan, that Plan was incon-
sistanfi with the County Growth Management Po19cy Flan, because it
j included a concept of over-zoning of the land, thereby creating ;
' more density than the Growth F?anagement Policy Plan had aliocated
; to the Town of Snowmass Village. The Plan also did not include any
's recommendations for phasing growth, and by that omission might be
said to have severely left in doubt the commitment of the Town to ?
i a solution of a valley-wide oroblem. The Growth Management Policy ;
; Plan was developed over several years of work and in resnonse to
t a comnunity goals setting process which indicated that n�anagement ;
r and phasing of growth were a high priority for 9overnmental action.
� The Plan and its implementation require the co-ooeration of all �
governmental jurisdications in the valley since the Snowmass/Brush
� Creek area has been aliocated the highest percentage of growth in
the entire valley. The success of the plan intimately hinges on
� the actions of the Town of Snowmass Village.

2. With respect to the Plan's stated policy regarding Ski Expansion,
as on page 13 of the Plan, this Board expresses reservation about
the policy of encouraging ski expansion specifically at Burnt
Mountain without regard to the consideration of other aiternatives.
It is this Board's policy that the alternatives for skiing expansion
should be fully reviewed before a decision is made to anprove one
or another which might prec]ude an alternative or combination there-
of that would better complement the growth, transportation, and
housing policies in particuiar of this community's comprehensive
planninq efforts.
3. Concerning the policies supportive of water conservation, tfiis
Board recomnends that the Town of Snowmass Village adopt_ even
stronger poticy than is expressed on page 17. The institution
of water metering in all nevi developments is entirely consistent
with this Board's previously stated oolicies as is the use of in-
verted orice structures as an incentive. This Board believes
however that the prohibit�on of irrigation of lawns and gardens
is necessary at this point in time and encourages a change in the
language on this matter.
4. The Board of County Commissioners recommends a more ctear reference
to the obligations of the 5nowmass Water and Sanitation District
as described in Agreement 34 (78) of April 13, 1978 among the Pitkin
County Board of County Commissfoners, the Snowmass Ylater and San-
itation District, and Snowmass Corporation artd suggests that this
agreement be listed in the Plan's bibliograohy.
5. With respect to future elements of this master plan, we reserve the
right to look at future addit9ons to the master plan. This Board
has particuiar interest in the development of transportation plans �
and programs as they necessarily require a high degree of co-oper-
ation among the various jurisdications in this val7ey. The Board
is also interested in community facilities. Finally, the Board i
reserves the right to look at any land use plans which may orovide
for phased growth within the incorporated limits of the Town of j
Snov�mass Village. Such phased growth is integrally related to the ;
recommendations and the implementation of the Aspen/Pitkin Growth �
, Management Policy plan, particularly as it relates to the Snowmass/ 1
Brush Creek Valley. Excess within the growth rate for Snoamiass !
Village wil] put pressure on this Board to reduce the growth rate `
in the rest of the Brush Creek val7ey area, resulting in an unfair- ;
ness to landowners outside of the incorporated limits of the munio- ;
ipality as well as high growth rates,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that these comments are offered in the snirit
of co-ooeration with the Town of 5nowmass Village. This Board supports ' .,
the pianning effort undertaken by the municipality and desires to keep i
the lines of communication open in view of our mutal interest in a sound
and orderly development of the Roaring Fork Valiey.
Dated this twelfth day of Marcfi, 1979.
