A somewhat similar facility dces operate i.n Glenwood Springs; the ;�:?+:: F,?:;: ti<�; Mountain Rivers Detox Center, under the same ownership as the proposed Aspen facility, 1�.±':z`,4 . �.,._.� was a smaller facility that was not as treatment-oriented. The Aspen center was ��,;•-, �t`:�rt �,:�, prinrzrily intended for residents of the Roaring Fork Valley, althouqri both facilities �E _ l r�bi� would share a comnon supervisor. Kaufman explained that the rehabilitation program ;;+ " ;� was wluntary and that strict screening requirsne�ts would be utilized. The '� ';�,�;� prohibition against vehicles was proposed by the applicant to provide for a controlled tr;�>,:; ��;_�� environment. =Fx�: yw.,}i Kinsley asked if the rehabilitation treatment center would compete with the 4="4'� � F ; proposed Horsham C15nic.

General Govenment Director � _ k,;: Read y :«". 1984 John Eldert introduced the resolutions, one (1) adopting a budget for the calendar �'�"�: Budget �� year 1984 and the other appropriating swns of money to the various funds for the lr.�; y:�:' 1984 budget year. Eldert introduced a m��orandiun fran tY� County Manager discussing ,�� "� the financial position of the County and the philosophy behind the drafting of the �ry. k; ,� 1984 budget. County revenues are substantially derived fram the following sources; �� _ �'� County propeXty ta�ces, various state and federal agencies, forty-six percent (46�) i'S , of the two percent (2�) County-wide sales tax, and a variety of service fees and 1 charges established by the Board on an annual basis. Although many of these revenue � I Y J� -r' sources increased at a substantial rate of growth during the 1970's, they have since .��? either leveled off or declined; federal and state controlled revenues, such as �;:,� G;'� revenue sharing and PILT funds, have generally declined in recent years, and annual �`� �;;; 5`� service fees and charges, established to equal the costs of providing those services, .`� r:: ..� were considered as high or higher than could be sustained. Property tax revenue in ; i�G. the County has generally increased at an annual rate of five to six percent (5$-6�), primarily due to new construction. Up until 1980, the County could, pursuant to �' statute, increase such taxes � to seven percent (7�) each year to offset the e£fects '� �: � ;r� of inflation; a Home Rule Charter amencLnent was adopted in 1980, however, that � t 4R �: �`. precluded the ability pf Yhe County to increase its taxes, such so that revenues Y '�' �i' �'. derived from new constxuction have since been used to offset the effects of inflation z �. - u' rather than meeting the costs of wntinued growth. { �� s 4� The £inancial position of the County has been co�romised as a result of these � � � F`9 �� factors, particularly as new revenue was necessary to provide constant service �'. ;.; - - y "" - levels inste8d of sati.sfying new growth. Capital zepairJreplace.ment and capital L • �t i�rovements have also been neglected, and s�ne longstanding deferred maintenance #z has continued unabated, Given the County's inability to increase its revenue base, a problem ca�ounded by recent periods of high inflation, it was no longer possible �, to continue existing operating grograms and projects at current service levels. ' F: The praposed 1984 budget was drafted so as to maintain 1983 service levels yet - with the understanding that eacisting sezvices could not be maintained in future years in the absence of additional revenues. The proposed budget was also drafted at sare risk; its margin for error was extr�nely smzll, such so that supplgnental allocations i �: ��Comnissioner's Meetireg 12 Decanber, 1983 - 15 �i.»�:,--, �.. ..

These �;' cutbacks and de£errals were, in fact, only proposed in anticipation of a concerted i - i � effort by the Board to resolve the County'S financial problems. Stewart strongly �:� ;1,?::• t�. � urged that the Boazd coamit to resolving its funding probl�ns in the event the r` �,..,.:..:,`:, 'r';"=>:-`r;'; approach used to draft the 1984 budget was approved; towards this end, it was �'�°�,',y,, ��"' suggested that the Board call a special election this spring to provide for a r s� a,� '; deterniination on acceptable County funding levels.

Tl�e Treasurer's Office has detexmined that none of them were collectible, particularly as several of the parcels were no longer identifiable; some of the parcels were originally identified by metes and bounds descriptions, which parcels have since been subdivided and platted. In some other instances, Certificates of Taxes Paid were erroneously issued by the Treasurer, such so that the taxes crould no longer be considered delinquent.

The �� 4"�, � r � impulse turbine, although a less efficient paver producer, had fewer monitering � � s �. k`'=`"' r irements than other turbines, such so that installation and maintenance costs � ' �,;� �N t�'�' �`� would be reduced. . ��. �%�,,v:i,; .,-,-..: McGregor noted that a 3.2 megawatt facility would produce approxiunately twenty �-�;;, �:.y;r ;..:rtiM:,,,_ million killowatts of power, whereas the 5.0 megawatt facility would produce ;�z'��"� � ,'. approximately twenty-two million.

Also proposed is the addition of 1.3 acres to the home site. The house is currently located on a separate parcel, less than one acre in size, which is completely surrounded by Art Pfister's ranch alonq Maroon Creek. The site is zoned AF-2. The applicant anticipates some minor interior remodelinq but the basic structure and its ex- terior will not be changed. The nUmber ci bedrooms and bathrooms will remai,n the same. The applicat?.on includes the following requests under the Land Use Code: 1. Application for Change in Use, GMP Exemption (Section j 5-510.2 (j) ) , and � 2. 5pecial Review fo a "Community Health Facility" (Section 3-3.54) , and � 3. Subdiv�sion Exemption for a let line adjustment (Section 4-2.2 (ai (2) ) . REFERRAL COMNiEidTS Ron '.:hompson, Assistant County Engineer, indicated that the survey appears t� be corr�ct. Jim Markalunas, Cxty Water Department, indicated that his department could provide water service provided the applicant pay the necessary tap and main extension fees. (The house is currently using spring water. ) According to Bob Nelson, County Environmental Health Department, the house generally conforms to Colo.rado Department of Health licensing requirements for drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. He did note the need for some minor changes in order to meet those requ.ire- ments. The applicant's p�oposal to have food service catered from the hospital is also satisfactory. The 3pplicant should be made aware tnat in the event that their f�od service plans should be changed to provide on-site pr�paration, then they would be required to meet food service license specifications. Those specifications would necessitate a number of expensive changes including all new equipment. Gail Mahoney, Housing Office, indicated that provided the representa- tians made in the application were accurate, she did not feel there would be an increase in tne need for employee housing resulting from the application. . i 2> but s2�ubbesy plantu�gs, fertilization and other follawup wark remains tn be ca�leted.

Use" will re- sult in negligible impacts on the community. Any change in use activity found to cause a growth impact would have to compete =or a development allotment. The Code provides the following criteria as a guide in change in use decisions: "FOr purposes of this Section, growth impact shall be de- fined as ary activity which results in the need for addi- tional employee housinq or parking spaces; generates increased traffic demand, water and sewer needs, fire and police protection requirements, off-site drainage and road demands; or requires the provision of incre�,-sed govern- mental services." In considering this proposed Chan^e in Use GMP Exemption� we feel that it is important to consider the size of the house and its historic level of use. The house is large, wirh five bedrooms, and for twenty years pro- vided housing for the ten members of the Morse family. This level of occupancy would result in greater impacts on the public road system and utilities than would a more typical residential occupancy. Accordinq to the applicant, it was not uncommon for six to eiqht vehicles to be at the residence at various times. In contrast, patients of the rehabilitation center will not be permitted to have cars and because there will be few employees at the center, there will probably be fewer cars at the house when used for the use proposed in this application than occurred previously with the residential use. There is parking available on-site for eight or mcre cars, which should be �nore than adequate for the rehabilitation center. The septic system will need to be expanded to accommodate the pro- posed use. Apparently, at the time it was constructed there was some confusion which resulted in a leach field sized correctly for a five bedroom house, but the septic tank was sized only for a three bedroom house. There seemed to be several options available to the applicant to correct this situation, including the installa- tion of a second tank or modification of the existinq tank. A con- dition of approval should be compliance with the County's sewage disposal regulations. We do not concider the need to expand the septic system to be a growth impact since the applicant will be handling the problem on-site and therefore will not inc.rease the need for governmental services. The water supply has histarically been spring fed, however, Mr. Morse made arrangements with the help of Art Pfister, for a City Water tap. These arrangements occurred prior tn this application and as a matter of convenience since the City's two million gallon tank is being installed virtually in the front yard of the Morse residence. We do not believe that the City Water tap is attributable to this application and therefore, have not identified any impacts on the public water system attributable to this change in use application. With respect to employee housing, the application indicates that the Morse family historically had one full-time employee living in the house, plus several others helpir.q with cooking and cleaning. The application includes the following statement describing the e:nployees which will be required for this use: "The Community Health Facility contemplates one full-time supervisor living on the site. This supervisor will be in charge of the facility at this property as well as a facilit;� in Glenwood Springs. A physician will be on €! call at all times. The physician will be a licensed r �; f;`` ,. _ :. �:. ,�,,�,.�.,�.�� _ ,_ MEMO: Community Health Resources December 12, 1983 Page Three ptiysician alzeady residing in Pitkin County. In addition, I there will be either a therapist or s counselor on-site ' at all times to assist with patients and provide 24 hour supervision. Attempts will be a,ade to hj.re local therapists and counse2ors who are already employed and reside in the County. Thus, the resultinq employee impacts are quite minimal, especially when compared with the previous use and of property and when balanced with the community need for this health facility." The Planning Office has concluded that the i�paats on employee housing, roads, and utilities which will result from this change in use will be minimal and manageable. We recommend approval of the Change in Use GMP Exemption. "Community Health Facility" is a use permitted by Sgecial Review in the AF-2 zone district. By definition, a Special Review use is a use which may or may not be appropriate in a particular location depending upon the nature of the use, its relationship to surrounding land uses, and its impacts with respect to the environmental, social, ancl economic matters. In this case, we believe that the residential health care nature of the propose3 use and the surrounding agri- cult�ral open space to be compatible uses. The residential appearance will be preserved since neither expansion nor exterior modi=ication of the house are proposed. W� do not anticipate any adverse environ- mental, social or economic impacts. In fact, the community should derive some social and �conomic benefit from this use. It is also worth noting that Art Pfister who owns all of the surrounding pro- perty is so supportive of the application that he has offered to contribute 1.3 acres of adjacent property to the site. Therefore, the Planning Office recommends approval of the Special Review appli- cation. The Board of County Commissions is requested to grant a subdivision exemption for a lot line adjustment between the Morse parcel and the surrounding Pfister ranch to add 1.3 acres to the Morse site. This addition will increase the total size of the parcel to 2.1 acres, thus becoming a conforming size parcel. We recommend approval of the proposed subdivision exemption since the exemption meets the criteria established in the Land Use Code. That criteria reads as follows: ' " (a) That the adjustmen*. creates no more than the original lots or parcels; (b) That the purpose or affect of the lot line adjust- ment is not the creation of a new lut or parCel (that is, one substar.tially different in size or dimension) for development or resale purposes; (c) That, in the case of conforming lots or parcels, any resulting lot or parcel shall conform to the minimum re- quirements for area or width established by the provisions of this code; (d) That, in the case of existing non-conforming lots or parcels, any resulting lot or parcel sha1Z not increase in non- conformity; and (e} That all laws related to the amendment of recorded plats are complied with (if applicable) ."

A community health iacility is appropriate to this particular location 'because of ita residential health care nature and consequent ability to blend in with surroundinq land use.

The water should be of acceptable nua].ity and quantity when the tap to the cer.�ral water sys:em is campletaci. _ ' The on-site wastewater disposal system consists of a 1000- gallon concrete septic tank and an effective absoxption area o£ 1619 square f.eet. :he sewage disposal permit Completed by our office in 1974 indicated a three-bedroom residence. P.s a resu:t, a septic tank was installed for an expected maximum average daily residential sewage flow of six peocle. Our site inspection on Octo— ber 2�, 1933, indicated that the structuze is a five bedroom house and we understand that there is to be up to ten t'��} residents and a full time sta£f »erson. This means that an additional ��00-gallon sentic tank shou�d be added to allow .for the nroper functioning of the septic 'syster.►. The absorotion fiel� should be sufficiently sized for the oronased useaye assuming there will be r�o on-site food preparati�n. I_` tne =�l..r. _c• crter r�eals from Aspen Valley Hosgital is not continued for whatever reason, an additional septic system should be installed to handle kitchen wastes. The physical rea,uirements far residential �acilities o£ this sort should be r�et with only minar modifications to the house. Some minor changes such as proper kitchen and bathroom floor coverings, stairway headroom, and proper swimming pool equinment a�d disinfection. These requirements are imposed by regulation and can be dealt with durin3 the licensing by the Colorado Denartment of Healt:�. However, we wish to emphasize that if an on-site faod service is added to the rehabilitation center, major changes will be reauired to meet physical and operational standards and regulatiAns governinq food preparation. . .. , cc: Gideon Kau£man ' .
