DECISION
Janice K. Vos Caudill, Pitkin County, CO
ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION OF THE PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR GRANTING APPROVAL FOR THE HIGH VALLEY FARMS
LLC MINOR AMENDMENT TO A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
Administrative Decision No.L -2014
RECITALS
1. High Valley Farms, LLC (hereafter referred to as "Applicant ") has applied to Pitkin County
Community Development Director ( "Director") for a Minor Amendment to a Development Permit
to clarify a condition of a previous resolution that limits the height of the approved greenhouse
structures to 24'6 ".
The subject parcel is located at 24480 Hwy 82, is 4.7 acres in size and is non - conforming in the
AR -10 Zone District. The parcel contains a single - family residence, garages and other accessory
structures. The parcel is currently under construction for development of 25,000 square feet of
greenhouses. (Legal Description, Attachment A).
3. The parcel received approval to construct 25,000 square feet of greenhouses pursuant to BOCC
Resolution No. 067 -2013 with the Site Plan recorded at Book 105 Page 1 (Reception No. 605344).
Condition #3 of this approval limited height of the greenhouses to 24'6" as measured to the ridge of
the roof of the greenhouses. A building permit has been submitted for the greenhouse structures
that shows the buildings comply with the 24'6" height limit. In accordance with the Land Use
Code, building height is measured from the most restrictive grade. The topography of the lot slopes
gently from east to west necessitating that approximately 3' of fill is added under a portion of the
foundation, which in turn, adds height to the greenhouses when measured from this grade. The
submitted building permit shows the greenhouse structures in compliance with the 24'6" maximum
height limit, however, when measured from grade, they exceed the requirement in a small area of
the structures.
4. The Director finds that the building permit shows that the proposed greenhouse structures meet the
intent of the approved 24'6 "maximum height limit and that the required fill due to the sloping lot
will not create any additional visual impact as viewed from Hwy 82. The Director further finds that
this amendment is needed to clarify condition #3 of BOCC Resolution 067 -2013, it is consistent
with actions taken during the approval process, and it will not change the character of the approved
use of the land or its visual appearance.
5. The Director finds that pursuant to Section 2- 20- 150(b), the request is consistent with the Land
Use Code.
APPROVED by the Director, subject to the following conditions:
r
Administrative Decision No. -1' 2014 Page 1 of 2
I . The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the current or prior applications or
in public meetings or hearings and shall consider those representations to be conditions of approval,
unless amended by other conditions.
2. Failure to comply with the conditions of this approval may result in revocation of this approval, or
any subsequent permit(s) or approval(s) related to this property, or vested rights associated with
this property.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this =.h1 day of 1 c 2014.

RE: Request for Minor Amendment to BOCC Resolution No. 067 -2013
24480 Highway 82 (f/k/a the Caparrella Property)
Dear Mike:
The subject property is located at 24480 Highway 82 and was formerly known as
the Caparrella parcel. It is an approximately 4.7 acre lot located on the south side
of Highway 82, across from the Holland Hills Subdivision. The property is
zoned AR -10 and lies outside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), in Pitkin
County's designated Rural Area. An Activity Envelope and Site Plan were
approved pursuant to BOCC Resolution No. 067 -2013. The property is legally
described in Exhibit 1 and has a Parcel Identification Number of 2467 - 174 -00 -028.
Based on the applicant's representations, BOCC Resolution No. 067 -2013
contains a restriction limiting the height of the approved greenhouse structure to
24' -6 ", as measured to the ridge of the roofs. (See Condition # 3 of the Resolution,
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.) The applicant, High Valley Farms, LLC is hereby
requesting a minor amendment to the Resolution to clarify that, consistent with
representations made, the height measurement to the ridge (not the one -third or
one -half points) of the greenhouse structures will be taken from finished grade,
not existing grade.
Section 2- 20- 150(e) of the Pitkin County Land Use Code states that after the
issuance of a development permit, a minor amendment to any development
permit intended to change an element or condition of a development permit may
be approved administratively, pursuant to the standards and criteria in Code
Section 2- 30 -20. Said Section 2 -30 -20 of the Code states that Minor Amendments
to Development permits may be approved by Administrative Review upon
• 420 E. MAIN STREET, SUITE 10-B ASPEN, COLORADO • 8161 1
• PHONE: (970) 925-7819 FAX: (970) 925 -7395
000001
confirmation that the application meets the criteria of Section 2- 20- 150(b) of the
Code, which require that the Community Development Director finds that the
request:
(1) Is consistent with action(s) taken during previous development approvals for the
property; and
(2) Does not change the use of the proposed development between residential, commercial
and tourist accommodation uses; and
(3) Does not cliange the basic character of the approved use of land on 7ohich the activity
occurs, including basic visual appearance and method of operation; and
(4) Does not constitute a new land development activity; and
(5) Does not increase off -site impacts in the surrounding neighborhood; and
(6) Does not endanger the public liealth, safety or welfare, and
(7) Does not violate any Land Use Code standard, and
(8) Does not substantially increase the need for on -site parking or utilities, or affect
affordable liousing generation; and
(9) Does not increase the floor area of the use by more than five (5) percent or decrease
the open space on the site by more than five (5) percent.
The request made herein meets all of the criteria of Section 2- 20- 150(b) of the
Code and should, therefore, be approved as a Minor Amendment to a
development permit. The changes proposed remain consistent with action(s)
taken during previous development approvals, and the proposed development
remains unchanged. The amendment does not change the basic character of the
approved use of land, nor does it constitute a new land development activity.
The changes proposed do not increase off -site impacts in the surrounding
neighborhood, do not endanger the public health, safety or welfare, and do not
violate any Land Use Code standard. Furthermore, the amendment does not
increase the need for on -site parking or utilities, does not affect affordable
housing generation, and neither increases the floor area of the use nor decreases
the open space on the site by more than five percent.
In the end, the approved buildings and uses will be identical to that approved.
The only result will be clarification of the origination point for the height
measurement, with the same approved structure and same approved ridge
height of 24' -6 ".
As such and on behalf of the applicant, it is respectfully requested that approval
of a Minor Amendment to the development permit be granted to clarify that the
24'-6" ridge height limit will be measured from finished grade. It is noted that a
20' accessory structure height limit typically allows a ridge height of 25' but this
structure will still be limited to a ridge height of six (6) inches less.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUN'T'Y,
COLORADO, GRANTING APPROVAL FOR THE CAPARRELLA/LEWIS ACTIVITY
ENVELOPE AND SITE PLAN AND REQUEST FOR FLEXIBILITY ON AGRICULTURAL
SUPPORT
BOCC Resolution No. OLI-2013
Recitals
Cooper Mason Ventures, LLC through Jordan Lewis ("hereafter the Applicant ") has applied to the
Pitldn County Board of County Commissioners CTOCC ") for Activity Envelope, Site Plan Review,
and Flexibility for Agricultural Support for the following activities:
• Maintain the existing residence, garages and other accessory structures for an onsite employee;
• Construct new greenhouse modules and ancillary support buildings that total to 37,500 square
feet of floor area and are 24' -6" in height;
2. The subject parcel is located at 24480 Hwy 82, is 4.7 acres in size and is nonconforming in the AR-
10 Zone District. The parcel contains a single - family residence, garages and other accessory
structures. (Legal Description, Attachment A).
3. Activity Envelope/Site Plan Review and a request for Flexibility of Agricultural Support are an
Administrative Review and decision by the Community Development Director pursuant to Chapter
2 of the Code. The application garnered significant public interest both from neighboring
jurisdictions and Pitkin County citizens. Pursuant to Section 2- 30- 20(i)(1)(a), the Community
Development Director referred this application to BOCC for review and decision.
4. The BOCC heard this application at a duly noticed public hearing on August 28� 2013, at which time
evidence and testimony were presented with respect to this application.
5. The BOCC finds that the proposal demonstrates compliance with Activity Envelope and Site Plan
Review, and with alterations to the Site Plan, can be found in conformance with the standards set forth
in Chapter 7 of the Code.
6. The BOCC further finds that the scale and size of the requested floor area of 37,500 square feet for the
greenhouses and ancillary buildings for a marijuana grow operation is not in concert with the request
for Flexibility for Agricultural Support and that a reduced amount of floor area is practical given the
circumstances of the small size Lot, existing AR -10 Zone District, and the Highway 82 Scenic View
Protection Area.
7. The BOCC further finds that the pursuant to Scenic and Rural Character Guidelines in Chapter 7,
there is the ability to reduce the intensity of the development and lessen the impact to Scenic View
Protection Area as viewed from Highway 82. To satisfy these Code sections, the BOCC fords that
25,000 square feet is appropriate for the greenhouse and ancillary buildings that will support the
agricultural operation and will bring the development into compliance with the Code.

PITKIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FEES
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and High Valley Farms, LLC (hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE
AS FOLLOWS:
1. APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for: Minor Amendment to a
Development Permit (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. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree fees charged for the processing of land use
applications shall accumulate if an application includes more than one type of land use review.
4. 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.
5. 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 $ 936 which is for 3 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.
