DETERMINATION
Janice K. Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO
DETERMINATION OF THE HEARING OFFICER OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DEPARTMENT OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, APPROVING THE CR PROPERTIES
LTD. SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR LANDSCAPING
Determination No. _157-2013
RECITALS
I . CR Properties Ltd. ( "Applicant') has applied to the Pitkin County Community Development Director
( "Director ") to establish an activity envelope and obtain Site Plan review approval for tree planting
(spruce, cottonwood and aspen) along the southeast and southwest (Lower River Road) property lines to
provide screening of the road and the adjacent property. Some of the proposed trees have already been
planted, and the Site Plan incorporates those and additional trees.
2. Neighbor Dan Soderberg submitted an objection to the application related to the location of the trees
and the impact on the view from his property. Therefore, the application was continued to a public
hearing before the Hearing Officer, pursuant to Sec. 2- 20- 170(a)(4)(c) of the Land Use Code
( "Code').
3. The property is located at 2557 Lower River Road, and is legally described as Lot 1, Murray Low
Impact Subdivision.
4. The lot contains 19 acres and is a conforming size lot in the AR -10 zone district.
The BOCC approved the Murray Low Impact Subdivision, pursuant to Resolution Nos. 90 -173 and 91-
74; the Final Plat was recorded in Plat Book 27 at Page 75. The BOCC approved a Major Plat
Amendment, pursuant to Resolution No. 99 -54; the amended plat was recorded in Plat Book 52 at Page
49. The Community Development Director approved a minor amendment to realign the driveway and
alter the landscape plan, pursuant to Administrative Decision No. 46 -2000; the amended plat was
recorded in Plat Book 59 at Page 53. The Hearing Officer granted Special Review and GMQS
Exemption approval to utilize a TDR to legalize 1,373.75 square feet of existing previously exempt
floor area that was converted to full height habitable space, pursuant to Determination No. 4 -2010.
6. The lot is developed with a single family residence; the Certificate of Occupancy was issued in 2007.
7. The Hearing Officer considered the application at a continued public hearing on July 16, 2013.
8. Except as noted in Subparagraph C, The Hearing Officer finds that the request complies with the
applicable provisions of the Land Use Code ( "Code "), as follows:
A. The lot is within the mapped Scenic View Protection Area as seen from Lower River Road. The
open meadow on the property remains visible from the road through spaces between the trees.
Existing trees and shrubs already screen the view of the meadow. The location of the trees along
the ditch is consistent with the natural pattern of tree growth along a ditch. Therefore, the
proposed landscaping complies with Sec. 7 -20 -120 of the Code, as it is compatible with the rural
atmosphere as seen from the public road.
B. The proposed landscaping complies with the applicable provisions of Sec. 7 -20 -130 of the Code,
Landscaping and Vegetation Protection, as follows:
Determination No. _G�-2013
Page 2
1) Spruce, aspen and cottonwood trees will be planted; these species occur naturally along
Lower River Road, and have also been planted on neighboring properties.
2) Existing trees and shrubs and the road itself already define the western boundary of the
property, and the existing trees and shrubs already screen the view of the meadow from the
road. The additional trees will not eliminate views into the property from the road. Trees
are proposed to be planted along the southern property line, but not along the entire
boundary.
3) The landscaping does not interfere with the ability of drivers to see nearby traffic at the
intersection of the nearby driveways with Lower River Road.
4) The plantings avoid the gas and electric easements that run parallel to Lower River Road.
5) The trees along the western property line are appropriately clustered with separations
between the clusters, so as not to create a solid "wall" of plantings.
C. The trees along the southern property line are sited in more regularly spaced rows, which is not
consistent with the Code. These trees shall be re- planted in irregular clusters with spaces
between the clusters and with aspen and cottonwood trees included within the clusters.
THE HEARING OFFICER DOES HEREBY APPROVE the CR Properties Ltd. Site Plan
Review, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all successors
in interest:
1. The conditions of all prior approvals shall remain in full force and effect.
2. The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the application and shall consider
those representations to be conditions of approval, unless amended by other conditions.
3. Prior to submission of any future building permit applications, the Applicant shall be required to
submit for approval by the County Attorney and Community Development a Site Plan with an
Activity Envelope 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. The two rows of trees previously planted along the southern property line shall be re- planted in
clusters, with additional tree species (aspen or cottonwood) interspersed to provide more natural
groupings.
4. The Applicant shall obtain a County Earthmoving Permit to complete the landscaping.
5. The Applicant has represented that a separation of at least 150 feet will be maintained adjacent to the
Soderberg residence between the trees planted along the southern property line in order to maintain
an open view of the meadow and down the valley from the residence.
6. No development shall occur outside of the approved activity envelopes.
Determination No. 6 -3013

Land Use Code and Colorado Statutes, subject to the exceptions set forth in Pitkin County Land Use
Code, § 2 -20 -170 and C.R.S., § 24 -68 -105. The statutory vested rights granted herein shall expire on

MEMORANDUM
TO: Pitkin County Hearing Officer
FROM: Suzanne Wolff, Senior Planner
RE: CR Properties Ltd. Site Plan Review
DATE: June 4, 2013
SUMMARY: The Applicant is requesting to establish an activity envelope and obtain Site Plan review approval
for tree planting (spruce, cottonwood and aspen) along the southeast and southwest (Lower River Road) property
lines to provide screening of the road and the adjacent property. Some of the proposed trees have already been
planted, and the Site Plan incorporates those and additional trees.
The application has been forwarded to the Hearing Officer for consideration, based on an objection submitted by
neighbor Dan Soderberg (email attached). Mr. Soderberg is concerned with the location of the trees and the
impact on the view from his property.
Sec. 2- 20- 170(a)(4)(c) of the Code specifies that the Community Development Department shall continue an
application to a public hearing before the Hearing Officer, if any objections are received.
The Hearing Officer conducted a site visit on May 30, 2013.
APPLICANT: CR Properties Ltd.
REPRESENTATIVES: Dustin Miller, Jesse Allen & David Reeves
LOCATION: 2557 Lower River road; Lot 1, Murray Low Impact Subdivision
ZONING/LOT SIZE: The lot contains 19 acres and is a conforming size lot in the AR -10 zone district.
BACKGROUND: The BOCC approved the Murray Low Impact Subdivision, pursuant to Resolution Nos. 90-
173 and 91 -74; the Final Plat was recorded in Plat Book 27 at Page 75. The BOCC approved a Major Plat
Amendment, pursuant to Resolution No. 99 -54; the amended plat was recorded in Plat Book 52 at Page 49, The
Community Development Director approved a minor amendment to realign the driveway and alter the landscape
plan, pursuant to Administrative Decision No. 46 -2000; the amended plat was recorded in Plat Book 59 at Page 53,
The Hearing Officer granted Special Review and GMQS Exemption approval to utilize a TDR to legalize 1,373.75
square feet of existing previously exempt floor area that was converted to full height habitable space, pursuant to
Detennination No. 4 -2010.
The lot is developed with a single family residence; the Certificate of Occupancy was issued in 2007.
REFERRAL AGENCIES: Comments from the Woody Creek Caucus are attached.
STAFF COMMENTS:
SITE PLAN REVIEW_(7- 10-50 ): Site Plan approval must comply with the applicable provisions and policies of
Chapter 7 of the Code. The proposed landscaping is not within any of the previously approved Activity
Envelopes, so new envelopes are proposed.
SITE PREPARATION AND GRADING (LUC Sec. 7- 20 -10): No grading, fill placement, clearing, grubbing or
vegetation removal is proposed within the proposed activity envelopes. The only activity within the envelopes will
be planting of trees.
STEEP AND POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE SLOPES (LUC See. 7- 20 -20): The activity envelopes contain slopes of
less than 15 %.
WATER COURSES AND DRAINAGE (LUC Sec. 7- 20 -30): The Last Chance and Cerise ditches traverse the
property. The Last Chance ditch runs along the east side of Lower River Road. Trees are proposed to be planted
along both sides of the ditch, but will not interfere with the ditch.
SCENIC VIEW PROTECTION REVIEW (LUC See. 7 -20 -120): The property is within the Lower River Road
scenic view protection area ( "SVPA "). See. 7 -20 -120 states, "In general, the standards of this Sec. 7 -20 -120 are
designed to minimize the visual impact of new development (including expansions to existing structures) when
viewed from designated road corridors, as well as to preserve the rural character of all Rural Areas of the
county." One of the intent statements of the Section is "To insure that new development is designed and
located to complement the natural landscape and the natural features within the public viewplane in order to
achieve an aesthetically pleasing, rural atmosphere." The specific criteria in Sec. 7- 20- 120(d) are primarily
intended to address the visual impact of structures as seen from the public right-of-way, and are not particularly
applicable to landscaping.
Therefore, the primary standard applicable to the proposed landscaping is whether it is compatible with the
rural character of the area as seen from the public road. The open meadow on the property remains visible from
the road through spaces between the trees. Existing trees and shrubs already screen the view of the meadow.
The location of the trees. along the ditch is consistent with the natural pattern of tree growth along a ditch. It is
staff's opinion that the proposed landscaping is compatible with the rural atmosphere as seen from the public
road.
Sec. 7- 20- 120(e) of the Code establishes Rural Character Guidelines for building location. This application does
not propose any buildings, therefore, this section is not applicable.
LANDSCAPING AND VEGETATION PROTECTION (LUC Sec. 7 -20 -130): This Section of the Code states, "These
regulations are intended to preserve existing vegetation on development sites to the maximum extent consistent
With the permitted development, and to ensure that specific types of man made improvements are screened from
view in order to preserve the rural character of the County, and to prevent the use of landscaping in ways that
would compromise the rural character of the County." Applicable sections of this provision are addressed
below.
Subsec. (b)(I), Preservation of Rural Character: In order to protect the rural character of Pitkin County,
natural vegetation should be preserved to the maximum extent practicable, and any installed landscaping shall
use the species plant materials naturally occurring on the site or on neighboring properties (except for flower
gardens).
Response: The Applicant proposes to plant spruce, aspen and cottonwood. There are many cottonwood trees
naturally occurring along Lower River Road, and neighboring properties have also planted spruce and aspen
trees on their properties.
Subsec. (b)(4), Landscape Enclosures: Landscaping shall not be used to (nark or enclose the boundary
of a parcel, or to privatize an otherwise public viewplane. Use of indigenous shrubs or trees to
enclose a portion of the property immediately surrounding a dwelling, barn, andlor accessory
buildings (as opposed to the entire property or a large area of the property) are permitted if made to
resemble similar windbreaks located near older properties in Rural Areas of the County.
Response: Existing trees and shrubs and the road itself already define the western boundary of the property. In
addition, the existing trees and shrubs already screen the view of the meadow from the road, and the additional
trees will not eliminate views into the property.from the road. Additional trees are proposed to be planted along
the southern property line, but not along the entire boundary. Trees will be clustered in the southwest corner
and at the toe of a slope that separates the upper portion of the property where the residence is located from the
lower portion where the meadow is located.
Subsec. (b)(5), Visibility Clearance: All landscaping shall be installed and maintained so that it does not
interfere with the ability of drivers to see nearby traffic at the intersection of any driveway with a public road,
or at the intersection of two public roads.
Response: The landscaping does not interfere with the ability of drivers to see nearby traffic at the intersection
of the nearby driveways with the public road.
Subsec. (b) (6), Utility Easements: Whenever the provisions of this Sec. 7 -20 -130 would require the installation
of trees or shrubs over or on utility easements, where branches or roots might interfere with utility lines or
pipes, the required location for such trees and shrubs shall be modified to require installation at the closest
location that would avoid potential conflicts with utilities and would enable the trees and shrubs to serve the
same landscaping purpose.
Response: The plantings avoid the gas and electric easements that run parallel to Dower River Road.
Subsec. (c) (2): Landscape treatments fin the Rural Area] shall cluster shrubs and trees into groupings similar
to those naturally occurring on the site or neighboring sites, shall use indigenous species of shrubs and trees,
and shall not be installed in regularly spaced lines or rows, unless more specific provisions of Secs. 7- 20 -70, 7-
20-80, or 7 -20 -120 require a different treatment.
Response: The trees that have been planted along the western property line have not been sited in regularly
spaced rows and are appropriately clustered with separations between the clusters, so as not to create a solid
"wall" of plantings. The spruce trees that have been planted at the southwest corner and along the southern
property line are sited in two regularly spaced rows. Staff recommends that rows be broken up into less defined
clusters, and that additional species (aspen or cottonwood) be interspersed to provide more natural groupings.
This same recommendation would apply to the trees to be planted farther to the east along the southern property
line.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Hearing Officer approve the CR Properties Ltd. Site Plan
Review, subject to the attached Determination.

RE: CR Properties site plan application
Good morning. It's Dan Soderberg. How are you?
This letter is intended to serve as an objectionable document to the intentions of tree planting along the
southeast and southwest property lines of 2557 Lower River Road, Snowmass, Colorado, 81654. I am the
property owner of 2569 Lower River Road, Snowmass, Colorado, 81654. I believe the planting of trees along
those property lines would not only cause safety issues, but would also bean unsightly and unnecessary
distraction for myself, other homeowners, drivers and mountain lovers.
In regards to the deadline on May 20, the week is going; by quickly. I'm going on record stating I have issues
with the work they have done in the past on the patio, with no permit and construction debris around the pond.
Whatever they do affects my view daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. I have been told they have 7 homes and
tine here only 4 weeks out of the year. Just this morning I have taken photos of a black trailer they have brought.,
onto my side of the property, blocking my view. When I go outside to play basketball with my son I look at 34
trees 'blocking my view of the down valley Sun. This is my view that is being interrupted. This has been going
8ii' br 2 years or longer.
f'wQuld like to be notified of a scheduled site visit. I would like my voiced concerns to be heard before a final
determination is handed down. I pray that once these are shared with the Hearing Officer, he /she will grant any
ad,all relief I, Dan Soderberg;, has requested. Thank you all for your precious time and your help in this very
important matter.
Sincerely,
ban, Soderberg

The Woody Creep Caucus District Planning Commission has no objection to the subject application, except that
there is no mention of provision for supplying water to the trees, spruces and cottonwoods, both species
dependent upon a lifetime supply of water in order to survive. We would recommend inclusion of a small

Thanks Suzanne,
Beyond raising the adjacent property values by purchasing a distressed home and adding value, local
employment and encompassing there home with beautiful grounds I strongly disagree with Dan Soderbergs
statement. The home is frequently occupied with a lovely family and extended visitors who travel here to enjoy
and support our local economy. Without the renegade rentals, the dilapidated structure that was due for
demolition and the presence of Soderberg plumbing vehicles, renters cars, a trampoline and chain link fence
with dogs this would never have been an issue. In consideration for Dan we kept his entire view plain from the
main home free of trees and only requested trees to block the parking and the old home. Thanks for your time
and effort on this matter.
June 18th work fine, and if any available times come up sooner that would be great.
Best,
Jesse Allen

In regards to the deadline on May 20, the week is going by quickly. I'm going on record stating I have issues
with the work they have done in the past on the patio, with no permit and construction debris around the pond.
Whatever they do affects my view daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. I have been told they have 7 homes and

Hi Suzanne,
I will get you the exact water rights from Bill when he gets back to us with documents. I believe we have 0.2
cfs out of Cerise Ditch which flows through a series of ponds and irrigates the entire property. The irrigation
was addressed in the review as in ground field irrigation is in place and irrigates the entire area of proposed
plantings. We also have a zone for drip irrigation installed if necessary to conserve water while shutting off
field zones. We are open to using ponderosa and juniper as well. The property has excellent water rights and
all recent work has been grandfathered in as of last summer. See below.
Thanks again for your help on this matter.
Jesse Allen
To all concerned parties;
After review of the water rights, BWCD contract, and surveying surface areas of water surfaces on said
property located at 2557 Lower River Rd, Snowmass, Co 81654, I find the amount of water within the BWCD
contract allocated to evaporation from pond surfaces to be adequately addressed at this time.

RE: CR Properties
The Woody Creek Caucus District Planning Commission has no objection to the subject application, except that
there is no mention of provision for supplying water to the trees, spruces and cottonwoods, both species
dependent upon a lifetime supply of water in order to survive. We would recommend inclusion of a small
percentage of more drought resistant species, such as junipers and ponderosa or lodgepole pines, to provide
insurance in the event water supplies fail.

PITKIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION FEES
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and _
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for PN R Li 1 V 1 i 4 F ni U L c-QE
r 0g= TREF U f IA1 b (hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 30 -2009 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 $ 11 GW— which is based on 5 hours of staff time, and 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.
