RECITALS •
I. Roaring Fork Meadows LLC and The Ned S. Holmes Profit Sharing Plan("Applicant")has applied to
the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County,Colorado("BOCC")to request detailed
submission and final plat approval to subdivide the Barta Parcel into two lots; to amend the Roaring
Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD(f/k/a Morrow/Wingo Junction Ranch Subdivision/PUD)to include
the two new lots(as Lots 6 and 7); to establish an activity envelope and obtain Site Plan Review
approval for a recreational facility on Common Parcel 2; and to extend the vested rights .
2. The Barta Parcel is located at 102 Sherman Lane, and is described as Parcel 3, Barta Family
Subdivision. The subdivision/PUD lots are described as Lots 1-5 and Common Parcels 1 and 2,
Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD.
3. The Barta Parcel is zoned AR-10 and contains 10 acres. The Roaring Fork Meadows lots are zoned
AR-l0. Lots 1-5 contain 14.188, 7.054, 7.533, 7.973 and 8.274 acres, respectively; Common Parcels 1
and 2 contain 14.247 and 5.509 acres.
4. The BOCC approved the Barta Family Subdivision in 1982, pursuant to Resolution No. 82-127, via the
now defunct Agricultural Lot Split provision of the Code. The original 73 acre parcel was divided into
three parcels: Parcel I contained 3 acres, Parcel 2 contained 59.57 acres, and Parcel 3 contained 10
acres. Following the approval,a residence was built on Parcel 3 by Darwin Barta. Parcel I was
intended to be conveyed to the Archdiocese for development of a church, but this plan was abandoned,
and Parcels 1 and 2 were sold to Bob Morrow. Mr. Morrow subsequently obtained approvals to
resubdivide Parcels 1 and 2 into the Morrow/Wingo Junction Ranch Subdivision/PUD, which consists
of: 5 free market, single family residential lots; one common parcel that contains two employee housing
units and agricultural buildings; one common parcel along the Roaring Fork River; and a one acre tract
adjacent to the Rio Grande Trail and the pedestrian bridge over the highway that was conveyed to the
county for a limited use trailhead parking lot.
5. The Applicant applied in 2010 to subdivide the Barta Parcel into two lots, establish activity envelopes
on the two lots,to obtain a fathering parcel growth management exemption for proposed Lot 6 and a
growth management allotment for proposed Lot 7,to amend the Roaring Fork Meadows
Subdivision/PUD plat to include the two new lots,and to rezone the Barta Parcel with a PUD
designation. Approval was granted pursuant to Planning and Zoning Commission Resolution No. PZ-8-
2010, BOCC Resolution Nos. 016-2012 and 017-2012, and BOCC Ordinance No. 05-2012.
6. The Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission considered the proposed application at a regularly
scheduled meeting on November 13, 2012, and recommended approval by a vote of 4-0.
Resolution No.03 2013
Page 2
7. The BOCC considered the proposed application at duly noticed public hearings on January 9 and 23,
2013.
8. The BOCC finds that the application is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Pitkin County
Land Use Code and the conditions of BOCC Resolution No. 016-2012.
9. The BOCC further finds that the Activity Envelope and Site Plan for the recreational facility on
Common Parcel 2 complies with the applicable provision of the Code and BOCC Resolution No.
016-2012, as follows:
A. The Activity Envelope avoids slopes in excess of 30% and the 100 year floodplain; complies
with the 100' setback from the high water line of the Roaring Fork River; and is within a medium
wildfire hazard area and the hazard can be mitigated.
B. The proposed recreational facility is not visible from Highway 82, and, therefore, is exempt from
Scenic View Protection Review.
C. The recreational facility will be accessed by the existing road.
D. Siting the recreational facility on the lower bench will reduce impacts on neighboring properties
and users of the Rio Grande Trail.
E. The proposed recreational facility complies with the limitations set forth in Resolution No. 016-
. 2012 as follows: maximum of 750 square feet; one story and a maximum height of 20' to the top of
the roof ridge; no kitchen, bath facility or bedrooms; and is not served by a well or traditional on-
site wastewater treatment facility. Water will be stored on-site and a composting or other"green"
alternative toilet facility will be installed; and electric and gas lines may be extended to the facility.
10. The BOCC further finds that: (1) the valuation of the property and the improvements proposed to be
made under the approvals will be significantly higher relative to the value of any agricultural
products produced and that it is unlikely for the Applicant to generate enough revenue from
commercial agricultural activities to sustain a viable agricultural operation; and (2)the approvals
when fulfilled change the primary and fundamental use of the land from being agricultural.
Therefore, the Applicant shall be required to record a Covenant prohibiting commercial agricultural
activity, pursuant to Sec. 2-20-10(e)of the Code.
11. The BOCC further finds it is appropriate to grant a 5 year extension of the vested rights for the entire
subdivision/PUD, as amended to include Lots 6 and 7, subject to a requirement for Site Plan Review
for all of the lots.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it hereby grants approval of the
Barta Parcel Subdivision/PUD Detailed Submission and Final Plat, Roaring Fork Meadows
Subdivision/PUD Major Plat Amendment, and Activity Envelope/Site Plan Review for Common Parcel
•
2, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all successors in
interest:
1. All material representations made by the Applicant in the application and in public meetings shall be
adhered to and considered conditions of approval, unless otherwise amended by conditions.
2. The Applicant shall adhere with the conditions of BOCC Resolution Nos. 016-2012 and 017-2012
• unless otherwise replaced or amended by the conditions of this approval.

recorded within 180 days of the date of this approval, unless an extension is approved by the
Community Development Director for cause.
4. The Final Plat shall be amended as follows, prior to recordation. The plat shows an "emergency
ingress and egress easement for the benefit of emergency service providers for the purpose so
designated." The easement is not solely for emergency access, and shall be amended to ensure
access to the public, including owners of Hoaglund Ranch lots and other users of the road.
5. Prior to submission of any building or other development permit applications for Lots 1-7, the
Applicant shall be required to submit for approval an application for Site Plan Review, pursuant to
Secs. 2-30-20 and 7-10-50 of the Code.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO APPROVING THE ROARING FORK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION/PUD
EMPLOYEE HOUSING AMENDMENT AND SITE PLAN REVIEW
Resolution No.0 /-2011
RECITALS
1. Roaring Fork Meadows LLC("Applicant")has submitted an application to the Board of County
Commissioners of Pitkin County,Colorado(BOCC")to amend the PUD Guide regarding employee
housing mitigation. The Applicant is requesting approval for alternatives to the deed restriction of
the remaining three-bedroom residence(AFHI)to mitigate for three FTEs, including construction of
a replacement three-bedroom residence in a different location within Common Parcel One or a
payment-in-lieu.
2. The Applicant is also requesting Site Plan Review approval for the potential replacement three-
bedroom deed-restricted residence within the approved building envelope on Common Parcel 1.
3. The property is located on Wingo Ranch Road off of Hoaglund Ranch Road,and is described as
Common Parcel I, Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD.
4. The lot is zoned AR-10 and contains 14.247 acres.
5. The BOCC approved the subdivision/PUD, pursuant to Resolution Nos. 068-2004 and 143-2005. The
Final Plat was recorded in Plat Book 78 at Pages 84-86. The PUD Guide was recorded as Reception
#523402. The subdivision consists of five residential lots(Lots 1-5),two common parcels(Common
Parcels 1 and 2)and one tract(Tract A—conveyed to the County). The BOCC subsequently designated
the four Edwin McMillan ranch cabins to the Pitkin County Historic Register and granted a growth
management exemption for 2,500 square feet of subgrade space on each of Lots 2-5 of the subdivision,
pursuant to Resolution No.051-2008. The Covenant Agreement for the Preservation of the Historic
Resources was recorded as Reception#550630,and the amended PUD Guide was recorded as
Reception#550997.
6. The BOCC approved an amendment to the PUD Guide,pursuant to Resolution No. 061-2010,which
clarified the timing for deed restriction of the two existing residences on Common Parcel I. The
Applicant is currently required to deed restrict the two existing residences on Common Parcel I prior
to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a free market residence on any of Lots 3,4 or 5 to
mitigate for 3.465 FTEs. The Amended PUD Guide was recorded as Reception#571156.
7. The one-bedroom residence(AFH2) was in disrepair and was demolished this spring. The Applicant
entered into an agreement with the County at that time to escrow$65,000, which is the amount of the
payment-in-lieu that would be required to mitigate for 0.465 FTEs. The County will hold the deposit
until the Applicant constructs a residence to mitigate for at least 0.465 FTE or authorizes the County
to retain the deposit in lieu of replacement.
Resolution Noni_.-20I I
Page 2
8. The Community Development Director approved minor amendments to the envelopes,the realignment
of the main access road,and the renaming of the subdivision to Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/
PUD,pursuant to Administrative Decision No.40-2010. The amended plat was recorded in Plat Book
94 at paged 35-41,and amended 1041 site plans were recorded in Plat Book 94 at Page 42-46.
9. The Applicant has submitted an application to subdivide the adjacent Barta Parcel into two lots,to
obtain a growth management allotment for the new lot,and to combine those lots with the Roaring Fork
Meadows Subdivision. The application has been reviewed by the Planning Commission,but has not yet
been reviewed by the BOCC.
10. The BOCC considered this application at duly noticed public hearings on July 27 and August 10,2011,
at which times evidence and testimony were presented with respect to the application.
11. The BOCC finds that it is appropriate to provide two alternatives to mitigate for three FTEs: construct a
new three-bedroom deed-restricted residence or make a payment-in-lieu,with the funds restricted for
use within the Basalt Urban Growth Boundary,but did not support deed restriction of the existing
residence.
12. The BOCC further finds that the Site Plan for the proposed deed-restricted residence complies with the
applicable provisions of the Code, as follows:
A. The previously approved building envelope complies with the standards of the current Code.
B. The proposed residence is not visible from Highway 82,and,therefore, is exempt from Scenic
View Protection Review.
C. Access to the residence via Hougland Ranch Road is only acceptable if the Applicant improves
the road to comply with current standards.
D. The development complies with other applicable Site Plan review criteria of the Code.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it hereby approves the Roaring
Fork Meadows Amendment to Development Permit and Site Plan Review, subject to the following
conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all successors in interest:
1. The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the application or in public meetings
or hearings and shall consider those representations to be conditions of approval, unless amended by
other conditions.
2. All conditions of BOCC Resolution Nos.068-2004, 143-2005,051-2008 and 061-2010, and
Administrative Decision No.40-2010 shall remain in full force and effect,except as amended herein.
3. Within 60 days of the date of this approval,the Applicant shall be required to submit for approval by
the County Attorney and Community Development Director an amendment to Article 2, paragraph 8
of the PUD Guide(as amended)and any other associated paragraphs,to provide the following
alternatives for affordable housing mitigation:
A. Prior to issuance of a building permit for a residence on any of Lots 3,4 or 5,the Applicant shall:
I) Obtain a building permit to construct a new studio or one-bedroom unit(subject to Site Plan
Review),or shall make the applicable payment-in-lieu for 0.465 FTEs, based on the
Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority("APCHA")Guidelines in effect at the time.
2) Obtain a building permit to construct a new three-bedroom deed-restricted unit on Common

Parcel 1, or shall make the applicable payment-in-lieu for three FTEs, based on the APCHA
Guidelines in effect at the time.
3) The Applicant shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the deed-restricted unit(s)prior to
or concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the first residence completed
on Lots 3, 4 or 5.
B. If built,the on-site unit(s)shall be deed restricted as Category 4 rental single family residences.
Employees of the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD shall have first priority to rent the
units,but if there are no qualified ranch employees,the units shall be provided to any other
qualified Pitkin County employee. The Applicant may opt in the future to convert the unit(s)from
rental to sale unit(s),subject to the APCHA Guidelines,or the County may require the conversion
to sale unit(s)if there is an extended period of non-compliance with the APCHA Guidelines.
4. Prior to submission of any building permit applications for the new three-bedroom deed-restricted
residence,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.

Applicant shall:
A. Demonstrate legal access on those portions of Hoaglund Ranch Road that are not within the
Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision.
B. Obtain an Access Permit to widen Hoaglund Ranch Road to create a 20 foot all season driving
surface and to install a turnaround just above the Kester Ditch. The 20 foot driving surface shall
extend up to the turnaround. The road width may be narrowed around any existing utility pedestals
or poles. The Access Permit shall be approved by the Planning Engineer and the Basalt and Rural
Fire Protection District("BRFPD").
C. Submit an executed maintenance agreement between the Hoaglund Ranch and Roaring Fork
Meadows HOAs for use of the existing pond and dry hydrant system on Hoaglund Ranch to serve
the residence on Common Parcel I;the agreement shall be reviewed and approved by the BRFPD.

the BRFPD.
D. As an alternate to item 5C above the Applicant may elect to provide a dry hydrant system to
serve the residence on Common Parcel I from the existing"Gazebo Pond" located on Common
Parcel I. If the Applicant elects this option it shall work with the BRFPD to design an
acceptable system that is approved by the BRFPD. This option will not require an executed
maintenance agreement with the Hoagland Ranch HOA and will be an independent system only
serving the new residence on Common Parcel I.
6. Prior to issuance of a building permit for the three-bedroom deed-restricted residence,the Applicant
shall:
A. Record a Deed Restriction Agreement acceptable to the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority

4. The BOCC approved the Barta Family Subdivision in 1982,pursuant to Resolution No. 82-127,via the
now defunct Agricultural Lot Split provision of the Code. The original 73 acre parcel was divided into
three parcels: Parcel 1 contained 3 acres,Parcel 2 contained 59.57 acres,and Parcel 3 contained 10
acres. Following the approval,a residence was built on Parcel 3 by Darwin Barta. Parcel I was
intended to be conveyed to the Archdiocese for development of a church,but this plan was abandoned,
and Parcels 1 and 2 were sold to Robert Morrow. Through a land exchange with the BLM,Mr.Morrow
then obtained additional land area that was added to Parcel 2. Mr. Morrow subsequently obtained
Pitkin County approvals to re-subdivide Parcels 1 and 2 into the Morrow/Wingo Junction Ranch
Subdivision/PUD,which consists of: 5 free market, single family residential lots;one common parcel
that contains two employee housing units and agricultural buildings;one common parcel along the •
Roaring Fork River,and a one acre tract adjacent to the Rio Grande Trail and the pedestrian bridge over
the highway that was conveyed to the County for a limited use trailhead parking lot.
5. The Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission considered the proposed application at regularly
scheduled meetings on November 9,2010 and April 19,2011,and recommended approval by a vote of
4-0.
6. The BOCC considered the proposed application at duly noticed public hearings on July 13 and October
26,2011,and January 11 and 25, 2012,and a regular meeting on February 22,2012.

7. The BOCC finds that the application is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Pitkin County
Land Use Code and the following:
A. There is adequate lot area(70.395 acres)to accommodate seven lots on the combined property,
including the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD and the Barta Parcel.
B. The condition of BOCC Resolution No. 82-127 that states,"Parcel 1 and Parcel 3 cannot be
subdivided further"was not intended to prevent the Applicant from pursuing a subdivision,
subject to the Code in effect at the time,as is requested. The Applicant's request to amend the
condition is considered under the Code provision for a major amendment to a development
permit. The Code provides that a major amendment shall require a new application of the same
type required for the original approval. The Code no longer includes a provision for an
Agricultural Lot Split, so subdivision is the applicable review process.
C. The Major Plat Amendment is being utilized to combine two subdivisions into one, and is not
being utilized to re-subdivide the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD to increase the
number of lots within the land area contained on the plat;therefore,the Major Plat Amendment
complies with the Code.
D. The Activity Envelopes on Lots 6 and 7 avoid constrained areas.
E. The subdivision of the Barta Parcel complies with the applicable provisions of the Code.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it hereby grants approval of the
Barta Parcel Subdivision/PUD Conceptual Submission,Activity Envelopes,GMQS Exemptions and
Major Plat Amendment requests subject to the following conditions,which shall run with the land and be
binding on all successors in interest:

envelope on Common Parcel 2 of the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD to be sited on the
bench below the Rio Grande Trail("lower bench"), if such location can be found to comply with
applicable provisions of the Pitkin County Land Use Code. If the envelope on the lower bench
complies with the Code,then the Applicant agrees to abandon the existing envelope and replace it
with the envelope on the lower bench. Development on Common Parcel 2 shall be limited as
follows, with compliance demonstrated in the Site Plan Review application:
1) The recreational facility shall be limited to a maximum of 750 square feet of floor area.

significantly higher relative to the value of any agricultural products produced and that it is
unlikely for Owner to generate enough revenue from commercial agricultural activities to
sustain a viable agricultural operation and (2) the approvals when fulfilled change the

primary and fundamental use of the land from being agricultural. Therefore, and as a
condition of the Resolution, the BOCC required the Owner to record a Covenant
prohibiting commercial agricultural activity, pursuant to Section 2-20-10(e) of the Pitkin
County Land Use Code; said Covenant is recorded under separate cover as Reception No.
�o5G7o .
Furthermore, the primary purpose of ownership and use of all property in the Roaring Fork
Meadows Subdivision/PUD is for residential purposes. All improvements and uses of lands
within the Subdivision are associated with residential use of the property. Any activities
occurring on the Property or uses of the Property that would cause the properties to be classified
as agricultural lands pursuant to Title 39, Colorado Revised Statutes, are prohibited. To the
extent this paragraph is inconsistent with any requirement contained herein of maintaining
historical irrigation patterns or other agricultural use of the property,this paragraph shall govern
and control.
22. Fisherman's Access Easement. Owner has granted and does hereby grant to County an Easement
as shown on the Plat 25 feet in width from the Denver&Rio Grande Railroad Right-Of-Way to a
5-foot Fisherman's Easement along the Roaring Fork River. Owner shall have no responsibility
for the construction of any improvements necessary for use of such easement and the County
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Owner from any costs or liability associated with the
use or operation of such Access Easement. Prior to the construction of any improvements, the
County shall be required to obtain the approval of the Owner, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
23. Irrigation and Water Rights. Owner shall continue to irrigate lands within the Agricultural
Easement and will utilize and preserve all irrigation water rights to the fullest extent possible.
24. Ditches. No buildings shall be constructed immediately downhill of the Kester Ditch without the
ditch being placed in a culvert, lined or otherwise treated to avoid leakage of water downhill
towards the building(s). Activities and development shall ensure that ditch owners have access
to the ditch.
25. Maintenance of Pre-Existing Improvements. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the
contrary,pre-existing improvements,disturbances,and vegetation,including but not necessarily
limited to access roads or driveways not specifically required for abandonment and/or
reclamation; ponds and water features; utilities; buildings,ponds and similar improvements on
Common Parcel 1; and the fire pit, loop drive,culverts, and similar improvements on Common
Parcel 2, may be maintained as needed for functionality and aesthetic considerations.

Janice K. Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO
AMENDED AND RESTATED ROARING FORK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION/PUD
VESTED PROPERTY RIGHTS AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED yESTED PROPERTY RIGHTS AGREEMENT
("Agreement"), made and entered into this /a`- day of NeMM i4et , 2013 , by and between
ROARING FORK MEADOWS, LLC AND THE NED S. HOLMES PROFIT SHARING PLAN

final plat entitled SECOND AMENDED PLAT of ROARING FORK MEADOWS
SUBDIVISION/PUD(the"Subdivision"or the"Project"),which plat has been filed for record in the
real property records of Pitkin County, Colorado, on //— 2 o , 2013 in Plat Book/b 5 at
Pages g- (the "Plat"). The Plat is incorporated herein and made part hereof by this

Subdivision consists of seven lots,two common parcels and one tract,to wit: Lot 1,Lot 2,Lot 3,Lot
4, Lot 5, Lot 6 and Lot 7 (the "Lots"), Common Parcel 1 and Common Parcel 2 (the "Common
Parcels") and Tract A; and
WHEREAS, the County has fully considered the Plat, the proposed development and
improvements of the lands therein,and the effects of the proposed development and improvement of
said lands on adjoining or neighboring properties and property owners; and
WHEREAS,County has imposed certain conditions and requirements in connection with its
approval, execution and recordation of the Plat finding such matters necessary to protect, promote
and enhance the public welfare, and is willing to execute the Plat upon Owner's agreement to the
obligations herein, all as required by the Pitkin County Land Use Code (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS,the County and Owner have,simultaneous with the execution hereof,executed
for recording the Amended and Restated Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD PUD Guide
("PUD Guide") defining the conditions and terms for development of the Subdivision; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 068-2004 adopted June 9, 2004 and recorded as
Reception No.499298 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Pitkin County,Colorado,the Pitkin
County Board of County Commissioners (the "BOCC") granted the Morrow/Wingo Junction
Subdivision/P.U.D. approvals for Lots 1-5 and Common Parcels I and 2 of the Property. As a result,
>,a
-1-
the area north of the Alexis Arbaney Ditch, including the Basalt/Old Snowmass Trail, has been
encumbered with a conservation easement,and all areas below the Alexis Arbaney Ditch and outside
of the development envelopes which were historically irrigated pastures have been subjected to an
agricultural preservation easement to be operated by the homeowners' association. In addition to the
foregoing, BOCC Resolution No. 068-2004 includes PUD approval to vary the minimum lot area
and setback requirements of the then underlying AFR-10 zone district; 1041 hazard review and
conceptual submission approval for the development envelopes;growth management exemption for
development of single-family residences of up to 5,750 square feet of floor area on two BOCC-
approved subdivided lots(Lots 1 &2);growth management exemption and special review approval
to establish the five free-market residential lots as transferable development right (TDR) receiver
sites in order to accommodate up to 8,250 square feet of residential floor area on each lot; and,
growth management exemption and special review approvals to convert two existing residences into
employee housing.
WHEREAS,pursuant to Resolution No. 143-2005 adopted on October 12,2005,(hereinafter
referred to as the"Resolution"),the BOCC granted Detailed Subdivision and Final Plat approval to
the Subdivision. Such approvals provided for creation of: (a) five free-market, single-family
residential lots; (b) two common parcels, with one common parcel to contain employee housing,
agricultural buildings and common uses and the other common parcel to contain trails and common
recreational facilities; and (c) one Tract for a limited use trailhead parking lot to be dedicated to
Pitkin County Open Space. The Subdivision is subject to all conditions and restrictions set forth in
said Resolution; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 144-2005, the BOCC granted approval of three
TDRs from the Morrow South Parcel across Highway 82,which are limited to use on the Property as
three initial development rights for up to 5,750 square feet of floor area on each of Lots 3, 4 & 5.
WHEREAS, the original PUD Guide for the subdivision was recorded as Reception No.
523402. The BOCC subsequently designated four cabins on the property to the Pitkin County
Historic Register and granted a growth management exemption for 2,500 square feet of subgrade
space on each of Lots 2-5 pursuant to Resolution No. 051-2008. The Covenant Agreement for the
Preservation of the Historic Resources was recorded as Reception No. 550630, and the amended
PUD Guide was recorded as Reception No. 550997. The PUD Guide was further amended pursuant
to Resolution No. 061-2010 to clarify that the existing residences on Common Parcel 1 needed to be
deed-restricted prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a free-market residence on any of
Lots 3, 4 or 5 to mitigate for 3.465 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs). The Amended PUD
Guide was recorded as Reception No. 571156; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Administrative Decision No. 40-2010 approved on June 24, 2010
and recorded as Reception No. 571752 of the Pitkin County Records,the Pitkin County Community
-2-
Development Director approved Minor Amendments to the Subdivision/PUD and Minor Plat
Amendments, including the approval to rename the subdivision "Roaring Fork Meadows
Subdivision/PUD," to realign the main access road of the subdivision (Wingo Ranch Road, now
"Tejas Trail"), and to revise utility easements to reflect the existing location of those utilities.
Additionally,the BOCC approved an amendment to the PUD Guide pursuant to Resolution No.061-
2010; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to BOCC Resolution No. 077-2011 granted on August 10, 2011 and
recorded as Reception No. 582743 of the Pitkin County Records,the BOCC approved an amendment
to the PUD Guide for the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD regarding employee housing
mitigation as well as Site Plan Review for the potential replacement three-bedroom employee
housing on Common Parcel 1, or for payment of cash-in-lieu; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. PZ-8-2010,the Planning and Zoning Commission
(P&Z) gave the Barta Parcel GMQS application a score of 24 points, exceeding the minimum
threshold of 22 points and found the property eligible for a rural area residential GMQS allotment;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 016-2012 granted on February 22, 2012 and
recorded as Reception No. 587630,the BOCC granted approvals for the Conceptual Submission of
the Barta Parcel Subdivision into two lots, as well as Subdivision Exemption approval for a Major
Plat Amendment to the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD (adding the two new lots to that
subdivision as Lots 6 and 7), Activity Envelope approval for the newly created lots, and GMQS
Exemptions for the fathering parcel and barn square footage. In this Resolution,the BOCC found
the following:
a. that there is adequate lot area (70.395 acres) to accommodate seven (7) lots on the
combined properties;
b. that the condition of BOCC Resolution No. 82-127 stating,"Parcel 1 and Parcel 3 cannot
be subdivided further" was not intended to prevent the Applicant from pursuing a
subdivision, subject to the Code in effect at the time, as is requested;
c. that Owner's request to amend the condition was considered under the Code provision
for a major amendment to a development permit. The Code provides that a major
amendment shall require a new application of the same type required for the original
approval. The Code no longer includes a provision for an Agricultural Lot Split, thus
subdivision is the applicable review process;
d. that the Major Plat Amendment is being utilized to combine two subdivisions into one,
and is not being utilized to re-subdivide the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD to
increase the number of lots within the land area contained on the plat; therefore, the
Major Plat Amendment complies with the Code;
e. that the Activity Envelopes on Lots 6 and 7 avoid constrained areas; and,
-3-
f. that the subdivision of the Barta Parcel complies with the applicable provisions of the
Code; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 017-2012 allocated 5,750 square feet of floor area to the newly
created lot (Lot 7). The BOCC also rezoned the Barta parcel with a PUD Overlay pursuant to
Ordinance No. 5-2012, making the effective zoning AR-10/PUD; and
WHEREAS,pursuant to Resolution No.003-2013 adopted on January 23,2013,and recorded
as Reception No. 598085 of the Pitkin County Records(hereinafter referred to as the"Resolution"),
the BOCC granted approval to The Barta Parcel Subdivision/PUD Detailed Submission and Final
Plat, Subdivision Exemption for a Major Plat Amendment to the Roaring Fork Meadows
Subdivision/PUD, Activity Envelope/Site Plan Review for Common Parcel 2, and Vested Rights
Extension. Such approvals provided for addition of two single-family residential lots(Lots 6 and 7)
to the subdivision and for Site Plan/Activity Envelope approval for a new recreational facilities
envelope on Common Parcel 2 to replace the original recreational facilities envelope (the original
envelope is now a Landscape&Access Envelope only). The Subdivision is subject to all conditions
and restrictions set forth in said Resolution; and
WHEREAS,the Amended and Restated Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD Guide and
this Amended and Restated Vested Property Rights Agreement supersede and replace all previous
versions/iterations of the same in their entirety, respectively. In the event of any conflicts between
any of the aforementioned Resolutions and the Amended and Restated Subdivision/PUD
Guide/Agreement and the Amended and Restated Vested Property Rights Agreement,the terms and
provisions of these Agreements shall govern and control. In the event of any conflicts between any
of the aforementioned Resolutions themselves, the terms and provisions of the most recently
approved Resolution shall govern and control.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained, the approval, execution and acceptance of the Plat for recordation by the County,
and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto stipulate and agree as follows.

NOW, THEREFORE, the residential square footage allocation for Lot 7 of Roaring Fork
Meadows Subdivision/PUD is conditioned upon, and no building permit to utilize the awarded
square footage shall be issued until, the following covenants detailing the representations made in
the application, and recognized by the Commission through the award of points, have been

2eceprroo No. (oo5 GG9
referred to as "the Guide") and all applicable Pitkin County Land Use and Building Code
requirements.

Activity Envelopes and will construct the proposed residence within the Activity Envelope,
subject to Site Plan Review.
2.0 Facilities and Services

Meadows Subdivision/PUD are within six-hundred feet (600') of a fire hydrant, as required
by the Fire Marshall, at the time of Site Plan Review or prior to Building Permit application,
as applicable.

within ninety (90) days of recordation of the Second Amended Plat of Roaring Fork
Meadows Subdivision/PUD, and will re-grade and gravel the road to create a 20' wide all-
season driving surface to assist in fire protection no later than prior to issuance of a Building
Permit for Lot 7. The section of road to be improved is on Common Parcel One and
extends from the Roaring Fork Meadows entry up to the employee housing units of the
adjacent Hoaglund Ranch Historic PUD, and will provide improved emergency vehicle
access to the employee housing units.

obstruct access. The parking area will be constructed prior to issuance of a Building Permit
for Lot 7.
2.4 The Owner will work with Pitkin County Open Space and Trails (OST) to plan and
construct a new trailhead parking area on the County-owned Tract 1 prior to the issuance of

Meadows Subdivision/PUD filled and this will be done prior to the issuance of a Building
Permit for Lot 7.
2

Meadows Subdivision/PUD. There is no timing requirement for this condition as the
recordation of this Covenant effectively completes this commitment.
3.3 The Owner will switch from flood irrigation to time/controlled zone irrigation for all
agricultural areas within the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD prior to issuance of a
Building Permit for Lot 7 so as to improve irrigation efficiency.

the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife.
5.0 Consistency with Land Use Goals
5.1 The Activity Envelope and Access Envelope for Lot 7 are limited to previously disturbed
areas. The remainder of the lot will be included within the Roaring Fork Meadows
Subdivision/PUD Agricultural Easement. This condition is enumerated in the Amended

recordation of said Guide.
5.2 Previously disturbed areas adjacent to the Rio Grande Trail will be returned to agricultural
use prior to issuance of a Building Permit for Lot 7.

5,750 square feet of floor area. This condition becomes effective upon recordation of this
Covenant.

six inches (19'-6"), which is a 30% reduction from the maximum allowable height of
twenty-eight feet (28'). Ridge heights may exceed 19'-6" by up to five feet (5') for a
maximum total/ridge height of twenty-four feet, six inches (24'-6"). This condition will

Janice K.Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO
RESTRICTIVE COVENANT
PROHIBITING COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURAL USES
IN THE ROARING FORK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION/PUD
THIS COVENANT ("Covenant") is made this //tg. day of NOI/eht/ea
2013, by ROARING FORK MEADOWS LLC AND THE NED S. HOLMES PROFIT
SHARING PLAN (collectively "Owner") affecting the lots and parcels within the SECOND
AMENDED PLAT OF ROARING FORK MEADOWS SUBDIVISION/PUD (the
"Subdivision," the "Property" or the "Project") which plat has been filed for record in the real
property records of Pitkin County, Colorado, on // — o?Q , 2013 in Plat Book 105 at
Pages 9- (the "Plat").
RECITALS
A.Roaring Fork Meadows, LLC and The Ned S. Holmes Profit Sharing Plan
(collectively "Owner") holds title to Lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,.and 7 as well as Common
Parcels 1 and 2 of the Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD, according to the •
Second Amended Plat thereof recorded in Plat Book)0$ at Page 9 (collectively, the
"Property").
B.Owner has received certain land use and development approvals from Pitkin County,
including: Resolution No. 068-2004; Resolution No. 143-2005; Resolution No. 144-
2005; Resolution No. 051-2008; Resolution No. 061-2010; Administrative Decision
No. 40-2010; Resolution No. 077-2011; Resolution No. PZ-8-2010; Resolution No.
016-2012; Resolution No. 017-2012; and most recently, Resolution No. 003-2013 of
the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners (the "BOCC") granting approval
to the Barta Parcel Subdivision/PUD Detailed Submission and Final Plat, Subdivision
Exemption for a Major Plat Amendment to the Roaring Fork Meadows
Subdivision/PUD, Activity Envelope/Site Plan Review for Common Parcel 2, and
Vested Rights Extension ("Approvals").
C. Owner's most recent Application and Approvals covered, among other things, the
following development and redevelopment activities: detailed submission and
final plat approval to subdivide the Barta Parcel into two lots; to amend the
Roaring Fork Meadows Subdivision/PUD to include the two new lots (as Lots 6
and 7); to establish an activity envelope and obtain Site Plan Review approval for
a recreational facility on Common Parcel 2; and to extend the vested rights.
D. As part of its consideration of the request for development approval, the BOCC
found in Resolution No. 003-2013 that: (1) the valuation of the Property and
improvements proposed to be made under the Approvals will be significantly
higher relative to the value of any agricultural products produced and that it is
unlikely for Owner to generate enough revenue from commercial agricultural
activities to sustain a viable agricultural operation and (2) the Approvals when
fulfilled change the primary and fundamental use of the land from being
agricultural. Therefore, and as a condition of the Approvals, the BOCC required
the Owner to record a Covenant prohibiting commercial agricultural activity,
1
pursuant to Section 2-20-10(e) of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, Owner declares and acknowledges that the following terms,
covenants and conditions shall apply to the affected Property and shall be deemed to run
with the land and be a burden and a benefit to the Owner and their successors and assigns
and any person owning or acquiring interest in the affected real property and improvements,
their grantees, successors, heirs, executors, administrators, devisees or assigns:
1. The Owner hereby permanently places a covenant on the land prohibiting the Owner
from seeking agricultural tax status or classification for real property taxation purposes
under Title 30, C.R.S.
2. The foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the Owner from conducting any
activity permitted in the AR-10 Zone District, including, but not limited to,
agricultural uses, the breeding, keeping and sale of livestock animals or the growing,
harvesting and sale of cash crops; nor, shall the foregoing constitute an independent
source of authority to engage therein without approvals which are otherwise required
therefor under the Code; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Owner shall not assert that
the Property is a "farm" or "ranch" as defined in 39-1-102 (3.5) and (13.5) or that the
Property is owned for the primary purpose of deriving a monetary profit therefrom
by engaging in agricultural activities.
3. At the request of the Owner, the Pitkin County Board of Commissioners may release this
Covenant if the circumstances that originally caused the Covenant to be required were to
change. These circumstances are described in Recital D above and the factors used to
determine said circumstances are defined in Section 2-20-10(e) of the Pitkin County
Land Use Code ("Code").
4. The provisions of this Covenant constitute the covenants that run with the title to the
Property for the benefit of Pitkin County, Colorado, its successors and assigns and
shall be deemed an appurtenance to the title to such lands.
5. This Covenant shall be specifically enforceable by Pitkin County and its successor,
by any appropriate action, legal or equitable. Pitkin County may resort to any and all
available legal action provided under law; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Owner
agrees not to assert any claim for the award of attorney fees in any action brought by
it pursuant to Section 7 hereof.
6. In the event that the parties resort to litigation with respect to any or all of the
provisions of this Covenant, the prevailing party shall be awarded damages and costs,
including, but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees.
7. Because this Covenant has been required by the BOCC as a condition of Approvals, and
has not been voluntarily entered into, nothing herein shall preclude or constitute a waiver
of the right of the Owner to hereafter challenging the validity of Section 2-20-10(e) of the
Code and/or the application thereof to the Property in a court of law having jurisdiction
there over.
2
8. In the event that Section 2-20-10(e) shall in the future be determined to be invalid by a
final unappealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or in the event said
Section 2-20-10(e) shall be repealed by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado, this Covenant shall thereafter be null, void and of no further force and
effect.
IN WITNESS, WHEREOF, the Owner of the Property has executed this Covenant as of the day
and year above set forth.
