Avalanche Ranch is out of compliance with state regs now; due to
multiple septics and zone of influence and proximity to drinking water
wells for a community water system. The present situation cannot
continue in its present form. Due to the cumulative effects of all the
septics and cumulative flows over 2000 gallons per day on one parcel,
any repair or fix will require a state site application and associated
discharge permits either to groundwater or surface water. Any attempt
to circumvent the state site application process via replatting or other
means must first be approved by this office in order to maintain
compliance with all state regs.
Diamond Jay may be out of compliance with state regs. UMMIAMCOUR
Vrffyav&io be performW airnilar to the one done on Avalanche Ranch
t ltetenaine number of septics, locations of all septics, setbacks to
each other and setbacks to any and all drinking water wells and surface
water bodies.. If the survey shows that Diamond Jay's situation is
similar to Avalanche Ranch; then any repair or fix will require a state
site application and associated discharge permits either to groundwater
or surface water. Any attempt to circumvent the state site application
process via replatting or other means must first be approved by this
office in order to maintain compliance with all state regs.

SUMMARIZE APPLICATION: The applicant is proposing to construct (2) additional resort
cabins and modify five (5) existing resort cabins at the Diamond J Guest Ranch. nkaj
The Pitkin County Environmental Health Department has reviewed the details of the Diamond
J Special Review application under the authority of the Pitkin County Land Use Code and has
the following comments.
ADEQUATE PROVISIONS FOR WATER NEEDS: Sections 2-170 and 3-70-100
The existing well serves a large enough population to be considered a non -community
groundwater system. A transient non -community water system shall mean a water system
which does not serve 25 or more of the same people for 60 or more days per year. This system
must be registered with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)
Water Quality Control Division (WQCD). Registration of the system may also include upgrades
to the system in order to come into compliance with current Colorado Primary Drinking Water
Regulations.
The applicant must document to the Environmental Health Department that the well(s) meet
required setback distances from the septic system prior to issuance of septic system permits and
building permits. Pitkin County Land Use Code requires that the well site be within the
building envelope.
We recommend low water landscaping (xeriscaping), with the timing of any sprinkler systems
decreased for low water plants. Contact the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension
office or Denver Water Board for more information on xeriscaping.
Condition of approval: The applicant must be registered with the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) as a
transient non -community groundwater system. The water system must be brought into
compliance with applicable state rules and regulations.
DPrInM. M'h P."

SEWAGE TREATMENT AND COLLECTION: Sections 2-180 and 3-110-050:
According to exhibit H of the application, there are 22 existing buildings which vary in size
from 0 bedrooms in the storage buildings, to 1-3 bedrooms in the cabins, to 8 bedrooms and a
commercial restaurant in the lodge. Proposed construction would increase the bedroom
accommodations on the property. Currently, this department has no record of any individual
sewage disposal systems (ISDS) on the property. Existing systems must be located and
inspected to assure they are working properly. Any illegal systems must be brought into
compliance. For example, metal tanks, cesspools, systems located less than 100 feet from wells
or less than 50 feet from streams or running ditches are not allowed. Understanding this
property has not been upgraded for many years, this department is willing to work with the
applicant in order to prioritize and work under a compliance agreement established by both
parties in order to upgrade the systems serving the Ranch.
However, if the septic fields do not meet the 'zone of influence' separation, according to the
Pitkin County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulations, 6.28.030, an ISDS with a design
capacity greater than or equal to an average daily flow of 2000 gallons per day must be
approved and permitted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) Water Quality Control Division (WQCD). Since potential design flow on this
property exceeds 2000 gallons per day, CDPHE WQCD must approve any proposed plans for
wastewater treatment on the property prior to issuance of local permits
All septic systems installed within Pitkin County require septic permits issued by the
Environmental Health Department, and must comply with the County's Individual Sewage
Disposal System Regulation. The County cannot issue building permit until a septic system
permit has been obtained.
The department can evaluate the site and soil tests only between April 15 and Nov. 15. The
owner should carefully evaluate this schedule to make sure all steps have been taken to make
the permitting process as fast as possible. If the site is in a location where high ground water is
possible the engineer must do percolation tests during the time of high runoff in the area of the
proposed leach field. The time of high ground water can vary and may be any time, normally
during April, May, June. High ground water can occur at a different time each year and is
determined by weather conditions that are not predictable.
Condition of approval: The applicant should meet with the Environmental Health
Department and the CDPHE WQCD to discuss proposed upgrades of systems serving cabins
which will be renovated or constructed. Other systems on the property must also be
evaluated and the Environmental Health Department and the CDPHE WQCD will work with
the applicant to establish a compliance agreement.
WATER RESOURCES IMPACTS: Sections 2-140 and 3-70-050 and 3-70-100:
The Environmental Health Department's mission includes to preserving and protecting the
quality of Pitkin County's water resources. Since a large percentage of the population is
dependent upon water from wells, elimination of groundwater pollution, and protection of
RiNN m Fn)'Jtd Paper
3
aquifers and their drainage areas are of utmost importance. Roofs and asphalt areas can be non -
point sources of water discharge that can contaminate water supplies. This Department
recommends that non -point sources of discharge be retained on the property of origin. To
accomplish this, the owner can use landscaping, drainage patterns, detention ponds, and/or dry
wells for containment of water runoff from buildings.
Condition of approval: This application indicates a high density of individual sewage
disposal systems on the property. Given a potential design flow on the property of greater
than 2000 gallons per day, proposed wastewater treatment on the ranch must be reviewed by
the CDPHE WQCD.
AIR QUALITY: Sections 2-130 and 3-60-020:
This project is expected to generate 10.8 new trips per day with the construction of 2 new
3 bedroom cabins.
The Environmental Health Department is working to develop a cash -in -lieu program
that would generate funds that would be pooled and earmarked for PM10 mitigation
purposes. It is planned that the cash -in -lieu formula will be reasonable, have a rational
basis and be uniformly applied throughout the County. Based on the assumption that
the program will be instituted, the subdivision agreement could require that each lot
owner make a PM10 cash -in -lieu payment to the County prior to issuance of a building
permit for their respective residence. Should the program not be instituted, the applicant
should cooperate with the Department to determine an alternative, mutually acceptable
mitigation proposal.
CONDITION OF APPROVAL: The applicant should work with the Environmental Health
Department to establish an acceptable PM -10 mitigation plan for the development.
FIREPLACE
ATTAINMENT AREA: This site may have two devices per building. The owners can install
no more than one wood burning fireplace and a second device that can be either a gas log
fireplace or a certified woodstove. In addition, the owner can install unlimited numbers of
decorative gas appliances. Occupants may not burn coal in any device. The owners cannot
install fireplaces or woodstoves in barns or agricultural buildings.
Only gas appliances are allowed in non-residential property, except that is the attainment
and non -attainment areas: restaurant, skier service, and lodge buildings can have a gas log
fireplace and unlimited decorative gas fireplace appliances.
FUGITIVE DUST
More extensive projects and activities such as this project do require a plan if it will impact
adjoining neighbors and/or roads. The measures must prevent windblown dust from
blowing off the property or creating a nuisance. This plan must include, but is not limited to;
fencing, watering of haul roads and disturbed areas, daily cleaning of adjacent paved roads
to remove mud carried out by trucks, speed limits, or other measures. The Environmental
1
E
Health Department must approve the plan. When the application is turned in for an
Earthmoving Permit, the approved Fugitive Dust Plan must be attached.
ASBESTOS
Commercial - Prior to remodel, expansion or demolition of any public or commercial
building, including removal of drywall, carpet, etc., a person licensed by State of Colorado to
do asbestos inspections must do an inspection. The Building Department cannot sign any
building permits until they get this report. If there is no asbestos, the demolition can
proceed. If asbestos is present, a licensed asbestos removal contractor must remove it.
NOISE
CONDITION OF APPROVAL: Construction work must comply with the Pitkin County
Noise Abatement Ordinance. This includes the provision that no construction noise is
allowed in residential districts between the hours of 7 pm and 7 am, and no noise is allowed
on Sundays and federal holidays. Please refer to Title VIII of the Pitkin County Code, Noise
Abatement.

MEMORANDUM I
TO: Colette Penne, Planning Department IBJ
FROM: Bob Nelson, Environmental Health Department%
DATE: November 5, 1982
RF.: Diamond J Guest Ranch - Special Review
-----------------------------------------------------------
We have evaluated the water supply system and on-site sewage_,
disposal systems for the referenced proposal. Our comments
and concerns in the January 28, 1981 memo have been fairly
well resolved with further inspections of the utilities at
the ranch.
Water is supplied from a well at a rate of 30 gallons per minute.
It meets state health department requirements for bacteriological
and chemical quality. ()�Llculating the average, peak day and peak
hourly demands by the requirements of the Pitkin County Land
Use Code{ the following domestic water needs are required to
be supplied:
Average day demand . . . . . . . . . 3,700 gallons
Peak day demand . . . . . . . . . . 11,100 gallons
Maximum hour demand . . . . . . . . 15.5 gallons
Der minute
The system as installed should deliver this quantity to the
pressure storage tanks and, assuming adequate line sizing,
(2" or greater) the pressure should be adequate at the cabin
taps.
The lodge sewage disposal system was upgraded to current county
standards in October, 1981 as stated. Elimination of kitchens
from the outlying cabins not on the lodge septic system will
further improve the wastewater disposal situation, as we expect
a lower flow and less organic material being introduced into
each of these smaller septic systems. We do not however, have
any documentation of the design, construction or adequacy of
any of the cabin septic systems. We therefore, recommend that
any of the existing systems be evaluated by this department and
be replaced where necessary. Specific reasons for replacement
would only include obvious evidence of malfunction or the lack
of required physical separations as specified in the Pitkin County
Individual Sewage Disposal Regulations.

October 12, 1982
Mr. Richard Grice
Pitkin County Planning Office
City Hall
Aspen, Colorado 81612
Dear Mr. Grice,
Following our discussion on October 7, 1982 regarding the
request by the Diamond J Guest Ranch to build a cabin to
replace two rooms and several kitchens presently existing
in the Main Lodge and the smaller cabins, I contacted Mr.
Bob Nelson regarding the information he needed to be supplied
with regarding items 6 and 7 of the Summary of Findings form
you provided me.
Bob indicated that since the proposed use is not an expansion
and since it would make use of the existing water system, that
for item 6, Water Supply, our response is that we propose to
use the existing water system consisting of a well and a
spring that presently serve rest of the buildings on the Ranch.
I have supplied him with the necessary information regarding
the quanity of water from these sources. We have performed
State Water Quality Tests for the past three years, and he
has this information for compliance with the quality infor-
mation needs of the report.
Regarding item 7, Sewage Disposal, the Ranch is on individ-
ual septic systems, the newest of which was completed in
October of 1981 to design specifications developed by Bob.
It is proposed that this cabin would also be on individual
septic. The location of the cabin site is -similar to that
of the other cabins and should present no problems for a
septic system.
These were the only two areas of concern that you asked
4thatad e s in making application for Special Review.

under any policy insuring a mortgage hereafter executed by an insured
which is a charge or lien on the estate or interest described or referred
to in Schedule A, and the amount so paid shad be deemed a payment
under this policy.
10. SUBROGATION UPON PAYMENT OR SETTLEMENT
Whenever the Company shall have settled a claim under This
policy, all right of subrogation shall vest in the Company unaffected by
any act of the inwred claimant, except that the owner of the

interest from the lien of the insured mortgage, or release any collateral
security for the indebtedness, provided such act occurs prior Its receipt
by the insured of notice of any claim of title or interest adverse to the
title to the estate or interest or the priority of the lien of the insured
mortgage and does not result in any loss of priority of the lien of the
insured mortgage. The Company shall be subrogated to and be entitled
to all rights and remedies which such insured claimant would have had
against any person or property in respect to such claim had this policy
not been issued, and if requested by the Company, such insured
claimant shall transfer to the Company all rights and remedies against
any person or property necessary.m order to perfect such right of
subrogation and shall permit the Company to use the name of Such

'remedies. If the payment does not cover the loss of Suds insured
claimant. the Company shall ba subrogated to such rights and rem Woes
in the proportion which sa-d payment bears to the amount of Said lou,
but such subrogation shall be in subordination to the inwred mortgage.
If toss of priority should result from any act of such inwred claimant,
Such act shall not void this Policy, but the Company, in that event, shall
be required to pay only that par, of any losses inwred against
hereunder which shall exceed the amount, if any, lost to the Company
by reason of the impairment of the right of subrogation.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OM PARTMMENT
MEMORANDUM
T0: Richard Grice, Planning Office
FROM: Bob Nelson, Environmental Health Department
DATE: January 28, 1981
RE: Diamond J. Ranch Subdivision Exemption and Special Review
This office has completed a preliminary review of the referenced proposal
with 'regard to water supply, sewage disposal, and other environmental impacts
within our jurisdiction under the Pitkin County Land Use Code. Unfortunately,
we have been unable to perform a complete site inspection to date, although
we are generally familiar with the property and facilities. We offer the
following comments as prefacing remarks pending a more thorough investigation
and additional information which should be submitted by the applicant.
There is conflicting information in the water supply, however, the most
important.information as to quantity is missing from the submittal. There
should.be at a minimum, proof of water rights (Section 2.O5.1(d)(1)) and
yields from the existing spring and/or well. In addition, with each of the
new sites an individual well is proposed. However, there has been no
report from a qualified groundwater geologist submitted as required by
Section 5-205.2(d) of the Pitkin County Land Use Code. We have been under
the impression that the water supply for this whole development was the
well located behind the Lodge building. The owners have submitted monthly
bacteriological water samples (we assume from the well) for the period of
June through October 1980 and the results of these five samples were in
compliance with State standards. In addition, the nitrate sample showed
an insignificant concentration (0.5 mg/1) which also conform to standard.
We cannot reach any further conclusions as to the adequacy of the water
supply, but, due to the nature of the development it seems that Section
5.205.1 (d) and (e) of the Pitkin County Land Use Code dictates the foll-
owing minimum criteria and capabilities be provided for the water supply
system:
1. Sufficient supply for average in-house demand:
a. 2100 gallons/day for the seven existing cabins; 1600
.gallons/day for the Lodge and Employee Units; 2100+
gallons/day for the seven future building site locations
(assuming these are tied to the central system and are
two or less bedrooms); 5800 TOTAL GALLONS/DAY.
or
b. 3700 TOTAL GALLONS/DAY for the average in-house demand for
the existing cabins and Lodge and seven.private wells
yielding 8-10 gallons per minute.
3S'

Diamond J. Ranch • •
PP,GE TWO
2. Proper sanitary construction and disinfection of the central water
system.
3. A minimum main size of six inches.
4. An engineering design to provide the hydraulic sizing and storage
to meet peak demands and fire protection.
5. Domestic storage capacity should be a minimum of 11,200 gallons
for the existing facilities with seven cabins and the Lodge, and
17,400 gallons for the Lodge and fourteen cabins. Fire protection
storage is additional but may be waived by the Fire Protection
District if the Planning Office feels that the ponds offer an
alternate stored supply.
It is unclear from the applicant's submittal what the existing facilities
for sewage disposal are, and other than a rough idea of the Lodge septic
system we have no:documentation of the design, construction, or adequacy
of the sewage facilities for the seven cabins which are to remain. Further,
we suspect that there may be less than adequate physical separations between
water supply lines and sewage system components which could present a
cross -contamination potential. The sewage systems for each of the four
cabins with bathrooms (Valley View, Hermitage, Columbine, and Pine Lodge)
should be evaluated with regard to construction and size and brought to
current codes if found to be inadequate. New sewage disposal systems should
be constructed for McGee, Red Mountain, and Big House, if the wash house is
eliminated and the applicants wish to remodel.
The proposed sites offer a variety of.possible problems in regard to the
construction of individual sewage disposal systems. The decomposed. granite
soils should offer suitable percolation rates. The Bench site, Stacy's
site, and probably the East River site are adaptable to conventional septic
tank -absorption systems. The West River, Fish Pond, and Spring Pond sites
cannot meet the codes for the construction of sewage disposal systems as
proposed. These sites are severely restricted by the fifty foot setback
from ponds and water courses and could be further restricted by groundwater
problems. We suggest that the manmade ponds be filled or the sites relocated.
The Beaver Pond Site, while perhaps requiring an engineered sewage disposal
system to mitigate possible groundwater -problems, could with proper design
be an acceptable building site.

Ranch Subdivision Exemption and Special Review
December 30,
The attached application requests exemption from the subdivision regulations
of Pitkin County and special review approval for the relocation of several
buildings on the Diamond J. Ranch property. This submission is scheduled
for review by the Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission on February 4,
1981; therefore, please return your comments to me by January 20,.1980.
Thank you.

Dear Members:
This is a two part application by the owners of the DIAMOND J. RANCH,
Morris E. Massey, James H. T]ard, Philip S. Mahoney and Stacy Standley.
The first part of the application is a request for the exemption
from subdivision pursuant to Section 4-2.2 (6) of the Pitkin County Land
Use Code. That section states as follows:
"If the subdivision is for the purpose of subdividing fully
developed lands under existing zoning or zoning in effect when
the development occurred (even though resulting lots and uses
be not conforming) if the development was done in conformance
with the law at the time and not done (without subdivision
approval) to avoid subdivision (or other land uses) regulations."
The DIAMOND J. RANCH is presently a guest ranch consisting of
approximately 27 acres and is zoned R-30. It is presently built out
under existing zoning and the applicants in this application are requesting
the ability to condominiumize 15 of the existing buildings on the site
pursuant to the above referenced section.
The second part of the application is for special review approval
to move 7 of the 15 buildings to different sites. The impacts of those
moves and of those sites are discussed in more detail below.
The following information is submitted pursuant to the "Land
Use Application Form" as discussed with the planning office in the
initial conference.

TOTAL AREA: Approximately 28.05 acres
EXISTING USE: Guest lodge and cabins - used year around
PROPOSED USE: No Change
PRESENT ZONING OF SITE: R-30
DESCRIPTION OF LAND USE PROPOSAL: Exemption from subdivision for
condominiumization of existing buildings and special review approval
to move certain of those buildings.
SCENIC QUALITY: The first portion of the application, that is the
exemption for purposes of condominiumization, will have no effect on
scenic quality. The mere condominiumization of the buildings will
not cause them to be moved on site nor will it cause any more buildings
to be built.
The second portion, that is the movement of the buildings will
have some scenic impact as is discussed below. As is detailed on
the maps attached hereto there will be 7 new building sites and as is
set forth on the map certain of the existing cabins will be removed
to those sites. What follows is a discussion of the scenic quality
with respect to each of the new sites.
First: The Bench site is a site which as can be seen from the
map overlooks the remainder of the property. It is separated from
both the highway and all the sites by large trees but there is
more than enough space on or near that site to construct a
foundation and move the appropriate cabin without cutting trees.
Secondly: The East River site is adjacent to the river and as
can be seen from the map below the Bench site. Again it cannot
be seen from the road as several large pine trees separate it
from the road and from other sites. As with the Bench site a
foundation can be constructed and the appropriate cabin moved
with no disturbance of underbrush or cutting of trees whatsoever.
Thirdly: The Beaver Pond site is much like. the East River site.
It is adjacent to the Frying Pan River and cannot be seen from
either the road or the other side. Once again, the cabin can
be moved with no disturbance of underbrush or trees.

Fourthly: The Spring site while not adjacent to the river is on
the same level as the East River and Beaver Pond sites. Again a
cabin can be easily moved with no disturbance of the underbrush
or the large trees.
Fifthly: The Fish Pond site is a bit more open than the sites
discussed above and can be seen from the road. However, the Fish
Pond site provides a beautiful view for the owner of the cabin
and the cabin can be moved with no disturbance of trees.
Sixthly: The West River site is basically the same as the Fish
Pond site with respect to its view and whether or not it can
be seen. The seventh site which will belong to Stacy Standley
is set far back from the road and as can be seen from the map
is, as is the Bench site, located at a higher elevation than the
other sites. This site affords a beautiful view and a cabin
can be placed on the site with absolutely no disturbance of
underbrush or trees.
WATER SUPPLY: The water supply for the main lodge and for the cabins
as they are in place is a large spring located on the property. The
condominiumization of the buildings in place will have no effect on
this water system. (2) The new sites discussed above will all have
wells and these wells will be augmented by the spring discucced above.
SEWAGE DISPOSAL: The site and all the buildings are presently serviced
by a private septic system consisting of a leech field. The condominium-
ization of the buildings in place once again will have no effect on
that system. All sites to which the buildings will be moved will have
their own separate septic system with leech fields. There appears
to be, subject to the approval of the county sanitarium, more than
enough space and the proper soil for these leech fields.
ROADS AND TRAILS: The present roads on the property are shown on the
maps attached hereto. All the cabins which will -be remaining in
place, that is the sites which have the dotted legends can be serviced
by these roads with small additions to certain of the cabins. It is
not the intent of the applicant either to pave or chip and seal any
of these roads but to rather leave the property in its rustic condition
and therefore only the slightest additions will be made.

The other sites to which the cabins will be moved also are all
serviced by an old mining road which is not shown on the map. With
a small amount of clearing, and again the applicant wants to emphasize
that the condition of the property will change very little because of
this, all of the sites can be reached by this mining road.
ION OF UTILITIES, WATER AND SEWER: As mentioned, the water and
sewer will not be municipal but rather will be individual wells and
septic systems.
The site is presently serviced by electricity which presently
serves the main lodge. The individual cabins will have electricity
if each individual owner after sale desires such. Holy Cross has
indicated that service can be provided.
There is presently one telephone on the site and that also is
in the main lodge and as with the electricity whether or not each
cabin has a phone will be up to the individual owner. Mountain Bell
has indicated that service can be provided.
CONTRIBUTION TO HOUSING STOCK: With respect to the requirements set
forth in 5-300 the applicant submits that since this is merely the
condominiumization of existing buildings it is not as such a develop-
ment and therefore is not covered by 5-300. Nevertheless, the appli-
cants have for as long as they have owned the property housed all
their employees on site and plan to continue to do so. Any sort
of restriction based on this approval to guarantee that the employees
will be housed on site will be satisfactory to the applicants.
The applicants hereby submit that the above application meets
with the requirements of the code and therefore requests exemption
from subdivision for the condominiumization of the existing buildings
and special review approval to move the buildings dileneated on the
map.
