MEMO
MEMORANDUM
TO: Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Mike Kraemer, Senior Planner
RE: Pitkin County Elephant Hill Communication Facility - Location and Extent Review
DATE: May 2', 2017
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Applicant is requesting Location and Extent Review approval to
redevelop an existing communication facility on the top of Elephant Hill in the Crystal River Valley.
APPLICANT: Pitkin County - Communications Department
LOCATION: Top of Elephant Hill, United States Forest Service owned land. Located at the confluence
of the Crystal River and Avalanche Creek. East of Hwy 133.
ZONING: RS -30
EXISTING CONDITIONSBACKGROUND: The site location is at the top of Elephant Hill within the
Crystal River Valley. The general area is well vegetated and below tree line. The site is developed with an
existing communication building that houses translator equipment and six (6) guyed wire communication
towers ranging between approximately 15' to 50'. These improvements are owned by Pitkin County and
permitted to be at this location by the United States Forest Service (USFS) per an executed lease agreement.
The Applicant states that the building, equipment, and towers are at the end of their useful life and are in
need of replacement.
PROPOSAL: The Applicant is proposing to replace the six (6) existing towers and consolidate them into
two (2) 40' towers. The Applicant also proposes to replace the existing equipment building with a pre-
fabricated building that will contain updated equipment. Dedicated power to the site will be provided by the
existing power lines that currently provide service to the top of Elephant Hill. The Applicant had originally
proposed to install solar panels as a power source, however, due to wind loads at the top of the mountain,
this installation is not feasible. In the event of a power outage, the existing onsite generator will be reused
and provide power to the site. Successful replacement of this infrastructure will continue a reliable
connection to the Marble telecommunications site and will provide a dedicated public safety communication
link.
There is no vehicular access to the summit of Elephant Hill. Therefore, in order to construct the
proposed improvements, the Applicant will need to engage helicopter service to transport labor and
materials to the summit. The Applicant has indicated that a staging area near the base of Elephant Hill
may be needed to provide short term storage and staging of materials. The Applicant has verbally
indicated to Staff that an appropriate staging area is being vetted, and at the time of this memo, has not
yet been finalized.
PROCEDURE/PROCESS:
C.R.S 30-28-110(1) and Land Use Code Section 2-30-30(h)(10) provides that the Planning Commission
shall review the location and extent of public projects proposed by a governmental entity in the
unincorporated area of the County for conformance with the applicable comprehensive plan or master
plan. The Planning Commission's action on a Location and Extent proposal is essentially "advisory",
and disapproval may be overruled by the governmental jurisdiction making the proposal.
The site location is within the Crystal River Caucus and the newly adopted Crystal River Master Plan is the
applicable Master Plan for this review.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: The application was referred to the Crystal River Caucus. No comments
were received from the Caucus.
STAFF COMMENTS: The Crystal River Master Plan is the applicable Master Plan for the purpose of this
review.
Review of this proposed development is limited given that the Master Plan does not make mention of
radio/telecommunication improvements. The Master Plan does include Section 5, "Environment and Open
Space" which provides action statements regarding development and potential scenic impacts.
Staff feels that because the six (6) existing towers will be consolidated into two (2) 40' towers, the Planning
Commission can make a finding that the proposed towers will have less visual impact as viewed from Hwy
133. Though not able to be required of the Applicant, if amendable, Staff would like the Applicant to
explore using non -reflective materials for construction of the new towers and equipment building. If
microwave dishes are used, the avoidance of the color "white" and use of a more earth tone color is
preferable.
Staff also feels that if a localized staging area in the vicinity of Elephant Hill is proposed for the purpose of
transporting equipment and materials to the communication facility site, the Applicant should obtain all
property permissions prior to commencement of construction. Staff also feels that because the Swill Village
Subdivision, the Crystal River Estates Subdivision, and various other residential properties are located in
close vicinity to Elephant Hill, written notice should be provided to these property owners stating the
approved redevelopment of the communication facility and its location. The notice should also provide
dates, times, and the staging area for use of the helicopter.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Location and
Extent review for the Pitkin County Elephant Hill Communication Facility proposal and find it in
conformance with the Crystal River Master Plan, subject to the attached draft Resolution.

AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION FEES
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and PTTKIN COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS (hereinafter
APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for Redevelopment of the Elephant Hill
Telecommunications Site (hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 012-2016 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.
4. APPLICANT and COUNTY agree that fees charged for the processing of land use applications
shall accumulate if an application includes more than one type of land use review.
5. COUNTY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for COUNTY staff to complete
processing or present sufficient information to the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners
to enable the Planning Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners to make legally required findings for
project approval, unless current billings are paid in full prior to decision.
6. Therefore, APPLICANT agrees that 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 $ which is based on _ hours of staff time, and if actual time spent by staff to process the
application exceeds the average number of hours by more than 20%, then the COUNTY will bill the
APPLICANT quarterly for the additional time spent. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of
the billing date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure to pay such accrued costs shall be grounds for
suspension of processing.

RE: Redevelopment of the Elephant Hill Telecommunications Site near Redstone
Dear Mike,
This letter serves as a formal request for a Planning and Zoning Location and Extent
Review to approve the redevelopment of the Elephant Hill telecommunications site near
Redstone. As we discussed in our preliminary meeting, the current site is in a state of disrepair. It
hosts six guyed wire towers ranging from 15 to 50 feet that are overloaded and pose a pending
risk to public safety and translator infrastructure. The existing shelter is wom out, damaged by
animals, and insufficient for the equipment stored inside. Our plan is to rebuild the site,
consolidating the six towers into two self-supporting 40 -foot towers and installing a new pre-
fabricated shelter. We also plan on installing a roof -mounted solar grid with internal lithium ion
battery banks to reduce outage time, improve energy consumption, and reduce out carbon
footprint. Further details and methods can be found in the attached construction summary.
Plans to rebuild the site on Elephant Hill have been well publicized and widely supported
by every group we have been in contact with. Citizens in the Crystal River valley experience
frequent translator outages and have unanimously applauded reconstruction of the site that will
reduce or eliminate such outages and offer improved opportunity for broadband services. The
Translator Advisory Board has specifically supported this reconstruction project as well.
Cellular and broadband providers are frequently contacting us in anticipation of expanding their
services to the Crystal River valley, which will only be possible with a complete site
redevelopment. The USFS is displeased with the current state of our existing site, and wants all
guyed -wire towers to be removed. This site will also serve as a crucial link connecting Marble
via microwave, and is essential for installation of the 800MHz DTR system for public safety.
We have submitted a 299 form to the USFS for a special -use permit to rebuild this site
and will conform to any requirements regarding wildlife and preservation. We will attain written
approvals for all relevant construction methods including staging prior to any construction. We
will also follow all rules and guidelines as per building permitting requirements for construction.
The new site will be no more visually obtrusive than the existing site, and the towers shall not
exceed the 40 foot height limit as outlined in the Pitkin County Master Plan. There is no explicit

Elephant Hill Site Rebuild
Summary and Construction Plan
Z�" 33300
Introduction: The existing telecommunications site atop Elephant Hill near Redstone is in a dangerous
state of deterioration. The current towers are overloaded, the guyed wires supporting them are
cumbersome and unreliable, and the existing shelter is weathered and breaking down, creating serious risk
to the regional public safety and translator infrastructure. The "Project" is to replace the shelter and
consolidate the towers with new 40 foot self-supporting towers including solar and battery backup power.
Property Description: Elephant Mountain is located approximately 10 miles south of Carbondale in
Pitkin County, Colorado (Section 33, T. 9S, R. 88W., 6th P.M. - 39° 14' 20" N, 107° 13' 07" W, 8,618').

The 1.30 acre site was originally established in 1962 to provide TV translator service in the Crystal River
valley and was transferred to Pitkin County from the Crystal River Valley TV Association in 1980. Pitkin
County maintains a current Special Use Authorization (SOP131) through 12/31/2034 for the site for
TV/FM translator, public safety communications and commercial radio transmissions. The current site
hosts six guyed -wire towers ranging from 15 to 50 feet in height.
Approvals: In addition to a Planning and Zoning Review, the Project is currently subject to USES 299
approval for a special -use permit, will be brought before the Crystal Valley Caucus, and will follow all
Pitkin County building and permit requirements. Final locations and approvals for all helicopter lifting
and staging areas will be obtained prior to the Planning and Zoning Review.
Staging: All long term staging will occur in either the State facility or another contracted facility in
Glenwood Springs, as well as on the existing site. Materials will be bundled and staged for 1 day
helicopter lifts from a pre -approved staging location near Avalanche Creek. One such proposed locations
is one of the various CDOT turnarounds on Highway 133 North of Avalanche Creek (with pending
approval), but this is subject to change. Small loads and personnel lifts may occur from the Glenwood
Regional Airport or on the comer of Dr. Johnson's private property via Pitkin County's easement at the
base of the mountain upon prior approval. We expect to have less than 5 vehicles per day. We will be
landing a helicopter at the base of the mountain on Dr. Johnson's property and on an approved large
staging property, as well as at the Pitkin County Translator site at the top of the mountain at various times
throughout construction.
Project Execution: The project will optimistically start on June 1, 2017 and be completed by September
30, 2017. The materials and workmen will be lifted to the property by helicopter, to be selected by the
contractor. Construction equipment and materials will be bundled as possible and lifted on-site on
scheduled "lift days", weather depending. Workmen will also be helicopter lifted to the site and are
anticipated to camp on-site during weekdays to reduce helicopter flight time. The contractor will be
responsible for developing a thorough on-site construction and work mitigation plan.
All excavation will be done by hand with hand tools. The site has been specifically designed to minimize
excavation and materials. The towers will be located on the East and West sides of the shelter, connected
via ice bridge and supported by a surface steel plate and rock anchor foundation with no trenching or
cement required (designs can be found in Attachment Q. The shelter shall be pre -fabricated with a
galvanized steel base and placed on a leveled graveled surface, also no trenching or cement required (See
Attachments C and D). Solar panels will be least -reflective and mounted flat on pre -fabricated mounts on
the shelter roof. The shelter, as well as one pallet of materials, will be lifted from the approved large item
staging location by the High -Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site (HARTS) chinook
helicopters in a single scheduled day.

The shelter will be connected to power via the existing ground laid power lines installed in 2013. Cable
will be run from the existing shelter's connection point to the new shelter and meter via schedule 80 PVC
conduit buried no more than 2 feet below ground level. Once the new shelter and towers are completed,
the Pitkin County Communications team will transfer and install all existing and new equipment in the
new site. Upon completion, the existing shelter and towers will be tom down and foundations removed to
2 feet below ground level. All debris will be helicoptered off site and disposed of Small spoils will be
distributed among the mountain top, and any excavated areas will be re -vegetated with an approved seed
mix. Final execution methods are to be determined by the contractor.
Notifications: We will notify all adjacent landowners in the area and the local governments that use the
translator. There are no property owners within 300 feet of the translator site or the proposed CDOT
turnarounds. If an alternate staging location is chosen, all local landowners within 300 feet will be
notified.
Project Close Out: We will comply with all USFS requirements and will walk or fly the property with
