FROM: Suzanne Wolff, Assistant Director
RE: GSS Assets LLC (Sun Mesa Property) Extension of Vested Rights
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 2-20-170, the Applicant is seeking a 3 year extension of the vested
right to construct a driveway and single family residence.
APPLICANT: GSS Assets LLC
REPRESENTATIVE: Jim Curtis
LOCATION: Woody Creek Road
ZONING/LOT SIZE: The parcel contains 62 acres and is conforming in size in the RS -20 zone district.
BACKGROUND:
The Community Development Director ("Director") denied an Activity Envelope application, pursuant
to Administrative Decision No. 27-2011. The Director found that the activity envelope for the
residence complied with the Code, but that the driveway envelope contained slopes in excess of 45%,
where development is prohibited by Sec. 7-20-20(b) of the Land Use Code ("Code"). The BOCC
subsequently found that a taking had occurred as a result of the denial, and remediated the taking by
approving Activity Envelopes for the residence and driveway, pursuant to Resolution No. 099-2011.
The Activity Envelope Plan was recorded in Plat Book 102 at Pages 55-57. The Protective Covenants
restricting the property against further subdivision into smaller lots was concurrently recorded as
Reception 4597704.
2. The Applicant submitted a Site Plan Review application for the driveway within the approved Driveway
Envelope (Alternative F). The BOCC denied the application, pursuant to Resolution No. 070-2013.
The Applicant then submitted a Site Plan Review application for a driveway across the adjacent
Holloway property (Alternative G). In addition the Applicant requested Special Review and GMQS
Exemption to utilize one TDR and Site Plan Review approval to develop a residence of up to 8,250
square feet of floor area within the previously approved Activity Envelope. The BOCC denied the
application, pursuant to Resolution No. 102-2014, finding that the driveway crossed slopes in excess
of 30% and 45%, where development is prohibited by Secs. 7-20-20(b) and (c) of the Code.
4. The Applicant submitted requests for takings determinations pursuant to Sec. 2-40-150 of the Code
to determine whether the BOCC's denial of the applications constituted a taking of private property
without just compensation. The BOCC found that a taking had occurred and remediated the taking
pursuant to Resolution No. 011-2015 (Exhibit 1 to application), which approved (a) Driveway
Alternative D, (b) the use of two TDRs to obtain 2,500 square feet of additional floor area for a
residence of up to 8,250 square feet of floor area (Code only requires one TDR; Applicant committed to
extinguish two TDRs); and (c) the Site Plan for a single family residence within the approved Activity
Envelope. The Amended Activity Envelope Plan and Site Plan for House and Driveway was recorded in
Plat Book 114 at Pages 18-22 (attached to application). The vested rights expire on February 25, 2018.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: The Woody Creek Caucus District Planning Commission has no
objections to the application.
STAFF COMMENTS:
VESTED RIGHTS EXTENSION: The Applicant is requesting a 3 year extension of the vested rights for
construction of the driveway and single family residence. The Applicant has not yet commenced
construction of the driveway or residence. The Applicant states that the extension would allow the
Applicant to continue the discussions with the adjoining neighbor to see if abetter driveway option is
possible without the pressure of the expiration of the existing vested rights and to lessen the pressure to
construct the approved driveway.
Pursuant to Sec. 2-20-170(d) of the Code, the BOCC may approve an extension of vested property rights
for a period of up to 3 years. The BOCC shall consider the following criteria in reviewing a request for
an extension of vested property rights:
The applicant's compliance with any conditions requiring performance prior to the date of
application for extension or reinstatement of vested rights.
Response: There are no conditions in Resolution No. 11-2015 requiring performance until development
permit applications are submitted.
2. The progress made in pursuing the project to date, including the effort to obtain any other
permits, such as building permits, and the expenditures made by the applicant in pursuing the
project.
Response: The Applicant has pursued the project as follows:
• The Amended Activity Envelope and Site Plan was recorded. Estimated cost: $2,500.
• The Applicant submitted an application to the Board of Adjustment for a height variance for
retaining walls associated with the driveway that are within the front yard and collector street
setbacks; the variance was approved pursuant to Resolution No. 7-2015. Estimated cost: $5,048.
• The Applicant drilled a well and performed water quality and quantity tests on the well.
Estimated cost: $13,312.
• Installed irrigation improvements and managed weeds. Estimated cost: $26,420.
3. The nature and extent of any benefits already received by the County as a result of project
approval, such as impact fees or land dedications.
Response: The County has not received any benefits from the project approvals to date. Impact fees are
not required until development is pursued.
4. The needs of the County and the applicant that would be served by approval of the extension or
reinstatement request.
Response: The Applicant states that the benefit to the County and the Applicant is to lessen the pressure
to construct the approved driveway and allow the Applicant to continue to discuss with the adjoining
neighbor the possibility of a better driveway option.
The approved development continues to conform to the terms and provisions of the Land Use Code.
5. The Board shall also take into consideration the length of any appeal process or litigation and
the subsequent effect of a lessened vesting period for property rights.
Response: Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the BOCC adopt a "motion to approve the GSS Assets
LLC Extension of Vested Rights, subject to the attached Resolution."

I. APPLICATION SUMMARY
This application is for the following:
I. Extension of Vested Rights Sec. 2-20-170 (d)
Drawings illustrating the property and the approved Recorded Plats are
inserted at the end of the application as follows:
1. Vicinty Map
2. Property Map / Aerial Photograph
3. Recorded Plats, Sheets 1-5, Recorded March 3, 2016,
Reception # 627498
The property is located in Woody Creek, is commonly called the Sun
Mesa Property, is approximately 62 acres, and is zoned RS -20. On
February 25, 2015 under BOCC Resolution # 011-2015 ( Exhibit 1), the
BOCC found a taking and granted activity envelope and site plan approval
for a driveway, site plan approval for a single family residence, and special
review and GMQS exemption to utilize TDR's. The Vested Rights for the
approvals expire on February 25, 2018. Applicant is requesting a 3 -year
extension of the Vested Rights to February 25, 2021 to continue the
discussions with an adjoining neighbor to see if a better driveway option is
possible without the pressure of the expiration of the existing Vested
Rights and to lessen the pressure to construct the approved driveway.
The original Land Use Application for the property was submitted in
February 2011. Driveway access to the property is very difficult and many
driveway alternatives were examined during the 4 year review of the
property and driveway alternatives. The driveway alignment finally
approved in 2015 under BOCC Resolution #011-2015 has not been
constructed to date and the applicant continues to speak with an adjoining
neighbor about the possibility of a better driveway option. However, the
applicant wishes to be clear that granting the 3 -year extension will not
guarantee a better driveway option, but it will allow more time to see if a
better driveway option is possible working with the adjoining neighbor.
II. EXTENSION OF VESTED RIGHTS SEC. 2-20-170 d
The criteria to extend Vested Rights are the following:
I. The applicant's compliance with any conditions requiring performance
prior to the date of the application for the extension or reinstatement of
vested rights. There are no conditions in BOCC Resolution #011-2015
requiring performance by the applicant prior to the date of the application
for the extension of vested rights based on the applicant's reading of the

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO, FINDING A TAKING AND REMEDIATING THE TAKING
FOR GSS PROPERTIES LLC BY GRANTING ACTIVITY ENVELOPE AND SITE PLAN
REVIEW APPROVAL FOR DRIVEWAY ALTERNATIVE D, SITE PLAN REVIEW
APPROVAL FOR A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, AND SPECIAL REVIEW AND GMQS
EXEMPTION FOR A TDR RECEIVER SITE
Resolution No.61( -2015
RECITALS
I. GSS Properties LLC ("Applicant") applied to the Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") to
Obtain approval of a Site Plan for two alternative driveways (Alternatives F and G) and a single
family residence and associated development, and Special Review and GMQS Exemption for a TDR
receiver site.
2. The parcel is located on the north side of Woody Creek Road, and is more specifically described in
Exhibit A.
3. The parcel is zoned RS -20 and contains 62.95 acres.
4. The Community Development Director (Director") denied the Activity Envelope application, pursuant
to Administrative Decision No. 27-2011. The Director found that the activity envelope for the
residence complied with the Code, but that the driveway envelope (Alternative A) contained slopes
in excess of 45%, where development is prohibited by Sec. 7-20-20(b) of the Land Use Code
("Code"). The BOCC subsequently found that a taking had occurred as a result of the denial, and
remediated the taking by approving Activity Envelopes for the residence and driveway, pursuant to
Resolution No. 0"-2011. The Activity Envelope Plan was recorded in Plat Book 102 at Pages 55-57.
The Protective Covenants restricting the property against further subdivision into smaller lots was
concurrently recorded as Reception #597704.
5. The Applicant submitted a Site Plan Review application for [Ile driveway within the approved Driveway
Envelope (Alternative F). The BOCC denied the application, pursuant to Resolution No. 070-2013.
6. The Applicant then submitted a Site Plan Review application for a driveway across the adjacent
Holloway property (Alternative G). In addition the Applicant requested Special Review and GMQS
Exemption to utilize one TDR and Site Plan Review approval to develop a residence of up to 8,250
square feet of floor area within the previously approved Activity Envelope. The BOCC denied the
application, pursuant to Resolution No. 102-2014, finding that the driveway crossed slopes in excess
of 30% and 45%, where development is prohibited by Secs. 7-20-20(b) and (c) of the Code.
7. The Applicant submitted requests for takings determinations pursuant to Sec. 2-40.150 of the Code
to determine whether the SOCC's denial of the applications constitutes a taking of private property
without just compensation.
8. The BOCC considered the takings requests at a regular meeting on September 10, 2014, at which time
further evidence and testimony were presented with respect to the taking.
0000" 1
Resolution No.Ot -2015
Page 2
9. The BOCC determined that a taking had occurred pursuant to Sec. 240-150(d) of the Code, based on
the following findings:
A. No driveway can access the activity envelope on the tipper bench of the property directly from
Woody Creek Road without encroaching on slopes in excess of 30%.
B. The driveway across the Holloway property (Alternative G) cannot access the activity envelope
on the upper bench of the property.without encroaching on slopes in excess of 30%, and cannot
be built to comply with current driveway standards within the access easement on the Holloway
property.
C. Consistent with the findings made in Resolution No. 099-2011, the activity envelope is the best
possible location on the property for development, based on the following:
I) The activity envelope contains slopes of less than 30%.
2) The wildfire hazard is rated as low, and can be mitigated pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 7-
20-60(c) of the Code.
3) The parcel is within elk and mule deer winter range, where development is permitted, subject to
mitigation.
D. The denials constitute a taking of all reasonable use and economic return on the property.
10. The BOCC further finds that Driveway Alternative D is the appropriate alignment, since it minimizes
impacts on the wildlife movement corridor within the draw to the southeast of the activity envelope;
minimizes visual impacts to the extent feasible; complies with the County's driveway standards for
width and grade, which accommodates emergency vehicle access; and daylights on the mesa within
the buildable portion of the Activity Envelope.
11. The BOCC further finds that the use of one additional TDR on the site to develop up to 8,250 square
feet of floor area is appropriate and complies with the special review criteria, as the additional floor
area is consistent with the intent of the zone district, compatible with surrounding residential
development, and in harmony with the surrounding area, and would not endanger the public health,
safety or welfare, or injure the value of adjacent properties: While the use of TDRs for additional
floor area is not contemplated in the 1987 Down Valley Comprehensive Plan or the 1991 Woody
Creek Master Plan, the Woody Creek Caucus District Planning Commission has no objections to the
application. The BOCC acknowledges and accepts the Applicant's commitment to submit two TDRs to
obtain 2,500 square feet of floor area, where the Code only requires one TDR to obtain 2,500 square
feet of floor area.
12. The BOCC further finds that the Site Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Code as
follows:
A. The proposed development is consistent with the criteria for development within the Scenic
View Protection Area. The residence will have limited visual impact as seen from Highway 82,
as it will beat a distance of approximately 1.5 miles from the highway. The residence will be
visible from portions of Woody Creek Road to the west of the property, but the residence has
been placed near the top, or back, or the meadow and away from the edge of the escarpment, so it
is not visible from Woody Creek Road as it passes by (and below) the mesa. The residence will
not break a ridgeline as seen from Highway 82 or Woody Creek Road.
on00.)
Resolution No. Of/ -2015
Page 3
B. The proposed residence is within the approved Activity Envelope. The Applicant has further
committed to designate die eastern portion of the envelope as "Non -Buildable Area." Buildings
or structures will be restricted to the western half of the envelope, while development on the
eastern half of the envelope will be limited to the well, on-site wastewater treatment system,
landscaping, pasture and agricultural activities.
13. The BOCC considered the remediation at regular meetings on October 22, 2014 and February 25,
2015, at which time the conditions of approval for the remediation were accepted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that the denial of the GSS Properties
LLC Site Plan Review for a driveway, pursuant to Resolution No. 070-2013, constitutes a taking
pursuant to Sec. 2-40-150 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the BOCC that the denial of the GSS Properties
LLC/Holloway Site Platt Review for Driveway and Special Review and GMQS Exemption for a TDR
Receiver Site, pursuant to BOCC Resolution No. 102-2014, constitutes a taking pursuant to Sec. 2-40-
150 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.

granting approval, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all

PITKIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION =EES �/-
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and f/ 9 W
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS: �I
APP"- -
NTY an application for
THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 12-2016
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.
