Compliance willgenerally involve avoidance of "Constrained Areas "through the identification ofan Activityfnve lope, "as wellas approval ofa Site Plan. Eorpurposes of Chapter 7, 'Constrained Areas "include all areas included in each of the following categories, as definedand regulated by this Land Use Code: (i)Areas of Statewide interestlisted in C.R.S 24 -65 L -101 et seq.), (ii)steep andpotentiallyunstableslopes, (iii) watercourses, drainage channels andareas subject to erosion, (iv) floodplain hazard areas, (v)geological hazard areas, (vi)severe orlow to moderate wildfire hazard areas, (vu) wildlife habitat areas, (viu)nverand stream corridors and wetlands (ix)irrigated /ands for food or crop production, (x) historic preservation areas and (xi) archeological resource areas. Response: While the Property does contain some slopes with gradients greater than 30%, the proposed Activity Envelope does not include any of these nor any of the other above cited constrained areas (see attached Activity Envelope Plan) (b) The Site Plan process incorporates an ActivityEnvel ape "approach in which the Countystaffworks with the applicant todetermine which portions of the site (ifany) would permit theproposedactivity or development to be conducted in compliance with this Land Use Code and inconformity with the Comprehensive Plan for the area. In general, this process will involve both a determination of(i) which portions of the site are notavailable for development because of the existence of ConstramedAreas, and (ii) of the remaining portions of the site, which areas would accommodate the activityor development so as to minimize impacts on surrounding properties, maximize compliance with the requirements of the developmentstandards m this Chapter 7, and maximize compliance with the Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives Response: The proposed Activity Envelope does not contain any of the above cited constrained areas and as it contains an already existing structure, driveways and associated landscaping there will be minimal disturbance of previously undisturbed land; neither will the proposed redevelopment alter the nature of the neighborhood, which currently consists of large single family homes. (c) In general, the defined Activiryfnvelope for development ofpnmaryusessha#be large enough to accommodate the proposed principal use of the propertyand traditional permitted accessorystructures, infrastructure (roads andsepticsystems), and uses but shouldnot be signifcandylarger than the area needed forsuchstructures.I n the case ofa site with few ConstrainedAreas the defined Activity Envelope may include more than one potential buildingsite fora newsingle familyhome. The defined Activiryfnvelope may include non- contiguousareas (including separate areas forseptic fields landscaping, driveways to pubficroads, mitigation measures requiredin connection with anyprovision ofthis Chapter7, and /orareas to bedisturbedonl yduringconstruction on theproperty- includingstagingareasandmaterialsstorageareas) Constructionoftrail Swill notrequireanActivityfnve lopeanalysisexceptas required bySec 7- 20 -50.

APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for ACTIVITY ENVELOPE AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL WITH VESTING AT 75 BENNETT COURT (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 the 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 inconsideration 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 $ which is based on _ 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.

Dear Mr. Hufker, I appreciate you and Michael Bassi of Aspen Constructors meeting with me on site at this property on Monday June 3rd and for providing me with the activity envelope and site plan. I remained on site for a time to take photos, measure slopes and evaluate the wildfire hazard conditions. I will qualify my observations as those of conditions as they now exist. Like many properties on Red Mountain this property is determined to be within a Severe Wildfire Hazard area because of the 75% + - slope below the activity envelope, the west facing draw below, the geography which can accelerate a wildfire in that area and the continuity and type of vegetation. The shape of the property results in short distances to the property lines to the southeast and southwest. This somewhat limits the ability of this property owner to manage the vegetation since this management can only be done on their own property. The steep slope below the activity envelope also makes it difficult to manage vegetation because slope stability should not be compromised. Along the property line to the southwest the area is somewhat level and landscaped, there is a mixture of aspen and conifer on both properties, most of which has been well maintained. However, the steep slope to the northwest along the property line has dense vegetation, mostly service berry, oak and other native brush which is continuous up to the trees between the homes. Along the property line to the southeast the area is again somewhat level and landscaped, there is a mixture of aspen, conifer and native brush which is contiguous with the steep slope and dense native vegetation down slope. The steep slope from northeast to northwest is densely vegetated with service berry, oak and other native brush in close proximity to the existing house. There is also native grasses up to 4- 0OU041 James Richard Activity Envelope Et Site Plan Review Parcel ID #273501406002 1 Page 41 of 45 feet in height. There are a considerable amount of deadfall visible on the property. The existing house was constructed utilizing a considerable amount of old railroad ties for landscape retaining walls and steps. Some of this is connected directly to the house. I recommend an alternative type of construction wherever this has been done. Vegetation Management and Modification Recommended: 1) For a distance of 15 -feet around the house and to the southeast and southwest property lines and beyond the furthermost projection of combustible construction the area should be of primarily noncombustible hard scape surfaces, low growing perennials, flowerbeds, cut grass and deciduous, well - trimmed and irrigated plants. Woody vegetation should not be planted within this area. Firewood or other combustible materials should not be stored within this area. The existing trees between the houses should be separated from the dense vegetation on the steep slopes by at least 30 -feet. 2) Beyond the 15 -foot area and up to 55 -feet down slope, thin existing trees and brush into individuals or clusters. Clusters of bushes or shrubs should be separated from each other and from those beyond the 55 -foot area by a distance of 2 '/z times the height of the mature vegetation. Oak and service berry should be thinned and clustered and all standing dead and deadfall in this area removed. This should be done in a manner that will not destabilize the steep slope. Most of the shrubs that will be cut are vigorous sprouting plants and with the approval of Pitkin County and the property owner the cut ends may be treated with a product named Garlon®, or an equivalent, by a person licensed to apply herbicides so as to prevent regeneration. 3) Cut materials should be either removed or chipped and spread. This coupled with the thinning of live growth should provide for healthier growth and better slope stability jJt042 James Richard Activity Envelope 8 Site Plan Review Parcel ID #273501406002 Page 42 of 45 New Construction: I recommend that the design, materials and construction of buildings conform to the design features and materials required by Pitkin County for safe construction in a severe wildfire hazard area as restated below: Pitkin County has adopted Structural Design and Construction Requirements. The following are paraphrased from the Pitkin County Land Use Code, Chapter 7, Section 7- 20 -60, Wildfire Hazards, and may not contain the exact language but it is intended to be consistent with the intent and purpose of the Pitkin County Requirements. Projections: Eves and other projections should be kept to a minimum on the down slope side and on cross slope sides and should not have ventilation openings unless the design and configuration of the openings are specifically approved by Pitkin County. Projections may include, but are not limited to eaves; cornices; soffits; roofs over open decks, cantilevered floors; bay windows; decks or balconies. Projections may cause heat traps and any to be included in the construction should be protected as follows: Any projection including guardrails should be constructed with materials approved for one -hour fire- resistive construction or Type IV Heavy Timber construction materials per the currently adopted building code. Projections should be constructed so that they do not trap, hold or retain leaves or debris that may be ignited by burning brands carried by air currents from any fire in the area. An alternative construction for projections may be permitted provided they are constructed of non - combustible building materials or materials with a flame spread rating of less than twenty five ( <25 tested to ASTM E84) and listed for exterior use. Areas below such projections must be void of vegetation or other combustible materials. The areas below these projections shall be protected from accumulation of vegetative materials by placement of a vegetative barrier covered with rocks or gravel or shall be concrete or stone. There shall be no storage of combustible materials under projections. The walls under these projections shall be constructed of materials approved for one -hour fire- resistive construction on the exterior side of the wall. Window openings in walls below projections shall be tempered glass. Doors shall be noncombustible or one and three - fourths inch (1 3/4 ") solid wood. Windows and Glass: Glazed openings shall be provided with closing, solid, exterior non - flammable shutters or shall be of tempered glass. Exterior Walls and Siding: Siding and exterior wall construction shall have a minimum of one -hour fire - resistive rating ground level to roofline, 5/8" gypboard underlying combustible materials or cement stucco with a minimum thickness of 1/4". Exterior doors shall be noncombustible or one and three - fourths inch (1 '/4 ") solid wood. OhOO James Richard Activity Envelope 8 Site Plan Review Parcel ID #273501406002 Page 43 of 45 Foundation: Foundations, skirting and crawl -space openings shall be fully enclosed and constructed with materials approved for one -hour fire - resistive construction on the exterior side of the walls and shall extend from the top of grade to the underside of the floor decking or walls. Roofs: Roofs shall be constructed with a Class A roof assembly as defined in the 2003 International Building Code (IBC) Section 1505.2. Wood shake /shingle roof coverings are prohibited in all wildfire hazard areas. Roofs with less than a 3:12 pitch are not permitted in wildfire areas unless they comply with the following: 1) All roof coverings shall be listed for installation as a part of the Class A roof assembly. 2) All roof coverings shall have a surface that shall facilitate the natural process of clearing the roof. 3) All roof designs shall facilitate the natural process of clearing the roof of debris. Protrusions above the roofline, such as parapets, shall be prohibited unless specifically approved by the Fire Marshal. 4) Roofs shall be installed as required by the adopted building code and shall have a minimum slope of 1:48. 5) All roof designs, coverings or equivalent assemblies shall be specifically approved by the Fire Marshal prior to submittal of a building permit application. 6) Vents shall be screened with corrosive resistant wire mesh, with mesh one - fourth -inch (/4 ") maximum. Maintenance: 1) Roofs and gutters shall be kept clear of debris. 2) Yards shall be kept clear of all litter, slash and flammable materials and debris. 3) All flammable materials shall be stored on a parallel contour a minimum of fifteen -feet (15') from any structure. 4) Weeds and grass within the fifteen -foot (15') perimeter and under trees, bushes and brush shall be maintained at a height of not more than six - inches (6 "). Miscellaneous: 1) Firewood /woodpiles shall be stacked on a parallel contour a minimum of fifteen -feet (15') from any structure. 2) Non- saltwater Swimming pools shall be accessible to the Fire Department. 3) Fences shall be kept clear of brush and debris. 4) Wood fences shall not connect to structures. 5) Any outbuildings or additional structures shall adhere to the same standards described herein. 6) Each structure shall have a minimum of on one ten -pound (10 #) Class ABC fire extinguisher. 7) Addresses shall be clearly marked with two -inch (2 ") noncombustible letters and shall be visible at the primary point of access from the public or common access road and installed on a noncombustible post. 00u.044 James Richard Activity Envelope Et Site Plan Review Parcel ID #273501406002 1 Page 44 of 45 I also recommend review and consideration of a publication titled "Firewise Construction Design and Materials" available from the Colorado State Forest Service.
