RESTRICTIVE COVENANT
PROHIBITING COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURAL USES
This Re trictive Covenant Prohibiting Commercial Agricultural Uses (this"CovenanY') is
made as of f/�/yt�J- D , 2012 by CHARLIE MOUNTAIN, LLC, a Colorado limited
liability company(the "Owner"), for the benefit of the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado (the`BOCC").
Recitals
A. The Owner holds title to two contiguous parcels of land located at 4100 and 4104
Snowmass Creek Road, Snowmass, Colorado 81656, consisting of approximately 73.2 acres and
more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto, having Pitkin County Assessor Parcel Nos.
264511100001 and 2645 1 1 1 00002 (together,the "Property").
B. The Owner has received certain land use and development approvals for the
Property from Pitkin County as memorialized in Resolution No.�9 -2012 of the BOCC,
including approvals for Activity Envelope, Site Plan Review, Special Review for TDR Receiver
Site, Special Review for a Caretaker Dwelling Unit, Special Review for Historic Designation,
and Subdivision Exemption for a Lot Line Adjustment.
C. As a part of its consideration of the request for development approval, the BOCC
determined that the valuation of the Property and the improvements planned for the Property will
be significantly higher relative to the value of any agricultural products produced and that it is
unlikely that the Owner will generate enough revenue frc►m commercial agricultural activities to
sustain a viable agricultural operation. Therefore, the development approval changes the primary
and fundamental use of the land from being primarily agricultural. As a condition of
development approval, the BOCC is requiring the Owner to record a covenant prohibiting
commercial agricultural activity.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Owner declares and acknowledges that the following terms,
covenants and conditions shall apply to the Property and shall be deemed to run with the land
and be a burden and a benefit to the Owner and its successors and assigns and any person owning
or acquiring interest in the Property and the improvements thereon, their grantees, successors,
heirs, executors, administrators, devisees, or assigns:
1. The Owner hereby places a perpetual covenant on the Property prohibiting
commercial agricultural activities, meaning any activities occurring on the Property or the use of
the Property, including farming or ranching conducted for profit, which would cause the
Property to be classified as "agricultural land" as defined pursuant to Title 39, Colorado Revised
Statutes (the "Property Tax Statute"). The foregoing covenant shall not preclude or prevent any
agricultural activities from being conducted on the Property so long as: (a) the Owner does not
apply to have the Property classified as "agicultural land" under the Property Tax Statute; and
(b) the Property is not classified as "agricultural land" under the Property Tax Statute as a result
of such activities, even if the Owner does not apply for such classification.
{A0020473/4}
�
2. At the request of the Owner, this Covenant may be released by the BOCC if the
circumstances which originally caused this Covenant t� be required were to change. These
circumstances are described in Recital C above and the factors used to determine said
circumstances are defined in Section 2-20-10(e) of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
3. The provisions of this Covenant shall constitute covenants that run with the title
to the Property for the benefit of the BOCC. Each and every conveyance of the Property shall be
deemed to include and incorporate by this reference the covenants herein contained, even
without reference therein to this Covenant.
4. This Covenant shall be enforceable by the BOCC by any appropriate action, legal
or equitable, including but not limited to judicial relief in the form of an injunction.
5. In the event that the parties resort to litigation with respect to any or all of the
provisions of this Covenant, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to any other appropriate remedies, an award in the amount of its reasonable attorneys'
fees and legal expenses incurred in such action.

No. 2645 1 1 1 00002 ("Parcel A").
B. One historic milking barn structure originally constructed by William H. Stiger
(the "Historic Structure") is located on Parcel B. The location of the Historic Structure is shown
on the Charlie Mountain LLC Activity Envelope & Site Plan that is being recorded in
conjunction with this Covenant Agreement.
C. Declarant has received certain land use and development approvals for Parcel B

Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, Colorado, including approvals for Activity
Envelope, Site Plan Review, Special Review for TDR Receiver Site, Special Review for a
Caretaker Dwelling Unit, Special Review for Historic Designation, and Subdivision Exemption

obligations in connection therewith.
NOW, THEREFORE, Declarant declares and acknowledges that the following terms,
covenants and conditions shall apply to Parcel B and shall be deemed to run with the land and be
a burden and a benefit to Declarant and its successors and assigns and any person owning or
acquiring interest in Parcel B and the improvements thereon, their grantees, successors, heirs,
executors, administrators, devisees, or assigns:
1. Stabilization and Maintenance. Declarant hereby designates the Historic
Structure to the Pitkin County Historic Register. Declarant shall stabilize and maintain the
Historic Structure in accordance with the August 27, 2008, Pitkin County Preservation
Handbook for Historic Properties ("Handbook") and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's
Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties, as amended from time to time and interpreted
by the Pitkin County Historic Preservation Officer (the "Federal Standards"). It is understood
that the intent is to stabilize and maintain the Historic Structure, not to rehabilitate or fully
restore it to its condition as a milking barn. Declarant, at its sole cost, shall be responsible for the
continued maintenance and administration of the Historic Structure in a manner that complies
{A0020499/5}
!
with the Handbook and the Federal Standards so as to maintain the architectural, historical,
archaeological, cultural, and/or engineering integrity of its features, materials, appearance, and
workmanship in order to protect and enhance those significant characteristics that qualify it for
historic designation treatment. Declarant acknowledges that it is not receiving any Pitkin County
Land Use CQde historic benefits or incentives as a result of the historic designation of the

Historic Structure with photogaphs before and after completion of the stabilization work.
Declarant has documented the history and existing condition of the Historic Structure with
photographs and a written narrative of the William H. Stiger Ranch Application for Historic

County Community Development Department and a copy will be given to the Aspen Historical
Society and the Basalt Regional Heritage Society.
5. Exclusion. Declarant agrees that the County in no way assumes any obligation
whatsoever for restoring, maintaining, repairing, or administering the Historic Structure.
However, the County shall be entitled to enforce this Covenant Agreement as provided herein.
6. Inspection and Com,pliance. Declarant agrees that the County shall have the right
to request inspection of the Historic Structure to assure compliance with this Covenant
Agreement, which request Declarant shall not unreasonably deny. At least five (5) days' prior
written notice of any requested inspection of the Historic Structure by the County shall be given
pursuant to Section 12 of this Covenant Agreement. The purpose of such inspection shall be to
