6. Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review approval is required for the Applicant to perform the necessary
revegetation on the hillside to correct the violation.
7. At a duly noticed public hearing on September 14,2016,the BOCC approved the Restoration
Activity Envelope and Site Plan, subject to conditions, hosed on the following findings'
A. The Restoration Activity Envelope and Site Plan to restore vegetation removed on the slope
south of the residence is appropriate in order to correct the violation.The plans are consistent
with previous approvals in that they seek to recreate the scenic and ecological qualities provided
by native vegetation.
B. The Restoration Activity Envelope and Site Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the
Code,as follows:
I) All restoration activities will occur within the Activity Envelopes. Activity in the Restoration
Activity Envelope will be limited to the removal of the cut vegetation, installation and
maintenance of new plantings,restorative tree crown pruning,and temporary irrigation.
2) The majority of the hillside contains slopes of 30-45%. No grading will occur except
minimal, localized grading necessary to install the new vegetation. Irrigation lines will be
hand dug into the slope and historic drainage patterns will be maintained.
3) The Arborist Tree Sure) Report. dated May I I. 2016,found that of the 127 significantly
pruned trees on the property, 30 could be retained and restored. 32 were likely in poor
condition prior to the work being performed, and the balance of the affected trees would
respond with regrowth and decay that would result in frequent failures and significant
reduction in longevity and aesthetic contribution. Following the arborist's recommendations,
the landscape architect has elected to remove 645.5"D.B.H. of the significantly pruned trees.
To meet the mitigation requirements of Section 7-20-140(c) of the Code, the Applicant will
plant 646" D.R.!I. of replacement trees.
4) Native species appropriate to the site will be planted in locations similar to the surrounding
natural vegetation patterns. The healthy existing vegetation will be preserved and protected.
5) The property is within the scenic view protection area("SVPA")as seen from State Highway
82/Main Street at the intersections of Galena Street, Mill Street and Aspen Street. By
restoring the landscape with appropriately sized native material in accordance with other
sections of the Code,the new vegetation will not have the immediate screening qualities of
the previous mature trees. The landscaping plan has been designed to give the vegetation the
best possible chance of survival in order to screen the residence over time as it did
previously.
6) Prior to construction of the residence,a wildfire hazard assessment was completed by Rocky
Mountain Ecological Service. The parcel was determined to he within a Severe Wildfire
Hazard area. The recommendations regarding vegetation density have been incorporated into
the landscape plan.
8. At the hearing the BOCC directed staff to include the following condition of approval in the
Resolution:

Page 3
A restoration progress report prepared by a certified arborist shall be submitted biannually on June
1"and October l"to Community Development for review until June P', 2037. Any trees retained or
required for mitigation that do not survive fto or least twew),(20)years shall he replaced at the
property owner's expense.
9. At a regular meeting on September 28th,2016 the Applicant requested and the BOCC agreed to
reconsider Condition#10.
10. At a duly noticed public hearing on November 2, 2016, the BOCC considered the Applicant's request
to remove Condition 410 in its entirely or reduce the survival monitoring period to a timeframe
consistent with the Land Use Code or industry standards.
11. The BOCC has resolved, and the Applicant has agreed, to monitor the trees identified for retention
for a period of five(5)years.
12 The BOCC finds that to insure that the vegetation has the opportunity to regain its former density and
to promote the aesthetic qualities to the area, it is reasonable to require replacement of planted trees
that do not survive for five(5)years,and to require financial security for a period of five(5)years to
cover the cost of replacing those trees. Although outside the industry standards discussed at the
November 2n°hearing,the BOCC finds that five years is nonetheless a reasonable period that reflects
a compromise between the concerns of Applicant and the BOCC as well as consideration of said
industry standards and the time needed to determine it regrowth has been successful, to assess the
adequacy of the irrigation system, and to account for the shorter growing season at the property
which ranges in elevation from 7,980 8,050 feet.
13. This Resolution No. 123-2016 and the land use approvals and conditions of approval included herein
shall fully and completely supersede and replace Resolution No. 108-2016 in its entirety.

Resolution No.$3 -2016
Page 2
6. Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review approval is required for the Applicant to perform the necessary
revegetation on the hillside to correct the violation. •
7. At a duly noticed public hearing on September 14,2016,the BOCC approved the Restoration
Activity Envelope and Site Plan,subject to conditions,based nn the following findings:
A. The Restoration Activity Envelope and Site Plan to restore vegetation removed on the slope
south of the residence is appropriate in order to correct the violation.The plans are consistent
with previous approvals in that they seek to recreate the scenic and ecological qualities provided
by native vegetation.
B. The Restoration Activity Envelope and Site Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the
Code,as follows:
I) All restoration activities will occur within the Activity Envelopes.Activity in the Restoration
Activity Envelope will be limited to the removal of the cut vegetation. installation and
maintenance of new plantings,restorative tree crown pruning,and temporary irrigation.
2) The majority of the hillside contains slopes of 30.45%. No grading will occur except
minimal, localized grading necessary to install the new vegetation. Irrigation lines will be
hand dug into the slope and historic drainage patterns will be maintained.
3) The Arborist Tree Survey Report,dated May I I,2016,found that of the 127 significantly
pruned trees on the property,30 could be retained and restored,32 were likely in poor
condition prior to the work being performed,and the balance of the affected trees would
respond with regrowth and decay that would result in frequent failures and significant
reduction in longevity and aesthetic contribution.Following the erborist's recommendations,
the landscape architect has elected to remove 645.5"D.A.H.of the significantly pruned trees.
To meet the mitigation requirements of Section 7-20-140(c)of the Code,the Applicant will
plant 646"D.B.H.of replacement trees.
4) Native species appropriate to the site will be planted in locations similar w the surrounding
natural vegetation patterns. The healthy existing vegetation will be preserved and protected.
5) The property is within the scenic view protection area("SVPA")as seen from State Highway
62,T4ain Street at the intersections of Galena Street,Mill Street and Aspen Street By
• restoring the landscape with appropriately sized native material in accordance with other
sections of the Code,the new vegetation will not have the immediate screening qualities of
the previous mature trees. The landscaping plan has been designed to give the vegetation the
best possible chance of survival in order to screen the residence over time as it did
previously.
6) Prior to construction of the residence,a wildfire hazed assessment was completed by Rocky
Mountain F..cological Service. The parcel was determined to he within a Severe Wildfire
Hazard area. The recommendations regarding vegetation density have been incorporated into
the landscape plan.
8. At the hearing the BOCC directed staff to include the following condition of approval in the
Resolution:
Condition 810

Resolution No.O3-2016
Page 3
A restoration progress report prepared by a certified arborist shall he submitted biannually an June
P and October I"to Community Development for review until June P.2037. Any trees retained or
required for mitigation that do not survive for at least meaty(201 years shall be replaced at the
property owner's expense.
•
9. At a regular meeting on September 28",2016 the Applicant requested and the BOCC agreed to
reconsider Condition tit 0.
10. At a duly noticed public hearing on November 2.2016,the BOCC considered the Applicant's request
to remove Condition#10 in its entirety or reduce the survival monitoring period to a timeframe
consistent with the Land Use Codc or industry standards.
11. The BOCC has resolved,and the Applicant has agreed.to monitor the trees identified for retention
rot a period of five(5)years.
12. The BOCC finds that to insure that the vegetation has the opportunity to regain its tanner density and
to promote the aesthetic qualities to the area,itis reasonable to require replacement of planted trees
that do not survive for Live(5)years_and to require financial security for a period of five(5)years to
cover the cost of replacing those trees. Althoughoutside the industry standards discussed at the
November 2nd hearing,the BOCC finds that five years is nonetheless a reasonable period that reflects
a compromise between the concerns of Applicant and the BOCC as well as consideration of said
industry standards and the time needed to determine if regrowth has been successful,to assess the
adequacy of the irrigation system,and to account for the shorter growing season at the property
which ranges in elevation brain 7,980—8,050 feet.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it does hereby approve the AML
Investment LLC Restoration Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review,subject to the following
conditions,which shall run withthe land and be binding on all successors in interest:
