In addition, your septic permit fee covers the cost of our designing the system for you. We have received a design that we cannot use because it was not done by a RPE, but we have issued a permit that includes a design by our office that is acceptable under county regulations. Enclosed is a copy of our approved design. A minimum of 4,662 sq. ft. of area is required for absorption, with a tank size of at least 4,550 gallons. The permit specifies the location of the system and details of dimensions and construction of the system. We would also like to point out that a Zabel Flow Divider is not required in place of a distribution box or manifold. In fact, we do not recommend use of this device as there is not an adequate history of their effectiveness for us to recommend their use. Should you consider another design, or wish to make any changes in this design, please submit your request in writing and we will note on your permit whether the change complies with county regulations and is approved. Please give us a call if you would like further information or if we can explain any details of the county regulation or your system's requirements.

E]Screw open end plate into inlet end (without interlocks) of first INFILTRATOR® chamber with splash plate extending into unit. © Place first unit in the inlet end of trench with interlocks downstream. 11 Run distribution pipe through inlet opening in end plate but not beyond splash plate. Single screw may be used to hold in place. Pipe does not normally run the length of system. © Connect INFILTRATOR® units together, fully en- gaging interlocks to form desired trench length. a. The joints may be screwed together for ease in construction. b. Trench grade should be checked with a level or surveying equipment, 0 Screw closed end plate in downstream end of last unit to hold in place. NOTE: For serial distribution, or to loop the trenches together, use an open end plate at the down- stream end of the trench, and run a pipe from the opening to the next trench. UFill side wall area to top of slots with native soil. "Walk" fill into place to give proper support of sides. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE FULL STRENGTH. mBackfill to a minimum of 12" of cover after compaction and settling for H-10 units and 18" for H-20 units. Avoid large rocks in the backfill ma- terial. CAUTION: Avoid vehicle traffic on system during construction since soil has not settled. This is particularly important in sand, since loose sand offers very little structural support. Most states advise avoiding vehicle traffic to prevent compaction of the infil- trative surface. (After proper depth of cover is compacted and settled, INFILTRATOR® leaching chambers will then support vehicle weight not to exceed 16,000 lbs. per axle for H-10 units and 32,000 lbs. per axle for H-20 units.) BED SYSTEMS 0 Excavate and level desired bed area. Rake soil surface to eliminate smearing. Follow steps 3 through 8 on the other side, © Place rows of INFILTRATOR ® chambers next to each other to achieve desired bed area. © Fill side wall area around perimeter and between rows of units with native material up to the top of slots and "walk" in place to give proper support to sides. 0 Being careful not to shift units, backfill to a minimum of 12" of compacted, settled cover for H-10 units and 18" for H-20 units. Avoid �f large rocks in backfill material. For a large ' bed that cannot be filled from the sides, use a light tracked vehicle and be sure _ to maintain the _j proper minimum of compacted cover beneath tracks at all times. DO NOT USE WHEELED VEHICLES ON THE BED DURING - -�- -�, i► tA— --H CONSTRUCTION. PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION INFILTRATOR ® chambers are easily adapted to pressure distribution. Simply suspend a predrilled pressure pipe in the top of the units with simple, foolproof plastic pipe straps. Supplemental installation instructions, with complete details for pressure distribution are available. LIMITED WARRANTY a. The structural integrity of each INFILTRATOR® unit, when installed in accordance with manufacturers instructions, is warranted to the original purchaser against defective materials and workmanship for one year from date of manufacture.

Printed on Recycled Paper i Cl Nelson Environmental & Wastewater Solutions, Ltd E W August 6, 1997 Mr. Rick Beiser S Harriman Construction 409A Aspen Airport Business Center Aspen, CO 81611 Subject: Layout and Possible Construction Recommendations for an Alternative Individual Sewage System for the Johnston Residence on a 114 acre Parcel of Land, Lot 1, Powell Subdivision (A Tract of Land in Sections 15 and 22, T9S, R86W of the 6th P. M.) Dear Rick, As requested, Nelson Environmental and Wastewater Solutions, Ltd., has performed a soils study and percolation testing for the design and construction of a septic system for the proposed residence at the subject site. This letter details additional layout and construction recommendations at the new location for the absorption area. Proposed Construction and Building Site: The proposed residence is a large two-story house with four-bedroom suites, a bunk room and a total of six and one-half bathrooms. The total living area of the house is estimated to be 9,600 square feet. The bunk room is designed to accommodate six single, built-in bunk beds in the two alcoves, and will probably be considered as three additional bedrooms by the Aspen / Pitkin County Environmental Health Department for purposes of determining the occupancy of the residence and for establishing the sewage system design criteria. Further, the exercise room, with its complete bathroom adjacent, will probably also be considered as having the potential for use as a bedroom during the life of the building, and should also be counted as a bedroom for purposes of the individual sewage system sizing. We, therefore, have used a figure of eight bedrooms for purposes of this discussion. The property is to be served by a drilled well domestic water supply in place, but not yet completely developed. The site is a large 113.6 -acre lot on the Shield -O' -Mesa area in the Powell Subdivision. The building site and building envelope are located on a ridge along the southerly property line. Shallow fractured shale bedrock was encountered on this ridge within and to the north of the lot's established building envelope. These areas are not considered suitable for the construction of most types of conventional onsite wastewater treatment systems. However, the soil types predominating on the easterly hillsides and meadow areas, 400 ft. below the building site were found to be suitable for the installation of an absorption area necessary to dispose of the septic tank effluent produced by this residence. We have proposed that a lower meadow area be used to construct the absorption field. These areas are covered with sagebrush and grasses, and some oak brush is present on those slopes just P.O. Box 6961 Snowmass Village, CO 81615 Office (970) 923.3289 Home & Fax (970) 923.2766 C Johnston Residence A Parcel of Land, Lot 1, Powell Subdivision On-site Sewage System Construction Recommendations August 6, 1997 Page 2 J below the building envelope. The ground surface, which appears natural in the area of the proposed absorption field, slopes to the East Southeast at a 15% grade. There are no irrigation ditches or streams apparent in the immediate area. Minimum Pitkin County Requirements: The percolation rates of the loam and clay loam subsoil were measured at an average of 41 minutes per inch in the area now being proposed for the absorption field. It is our interpretation that under the Pitkin County Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulation (Effective May 30, 1995), the minimum Pitkin County requirements for this installation are based on an average daily sewage flow to the absorption area of 2080 gallons per day and a peak design flow of 3640 gallons per day. This flow would require a minimum total septic tank volume of 4550 gallons, and a minimum of 4661 square feet of standard absorption trench, defined as follows: A standard absorption trench is an excavation less than three -feet (3') wide and containing a single 4 -inch (4") perforated distribution pipe in the center. A minimum of six -inches (6") of 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inch diameter gravel is placed under the distribution pipe. A sufficient amount of additional gravel is placed around and over the distribution pipe and to bed and cover the pipe with a minimum of two inches (2") of gravel. No trench distribution line can exceed 100 feet in length, according to regulations. Therefore, a minimum of sixteen trenches, 3 feet wide and 100 feet in length, is required for a standard gravel absorption trench installation. Further, the minimum horizontal separation required from any well in the area to the closest point of the sewage system absorption area is 384 feet. This can be accomplished at the latest absorption area site selected. Recommended On-site Wastewater Disposal Design: We would recommend that you consider using a series of three 1500 -gallon, single -chamber precast concrete septic tanks to provide the required volume. The manhole lids of each tank should be brought to the surface of the ground with riser ring assemblies. A pumping chamber and pumps will be required. Because the elevation of the sewer Iine and septic tanks is expected to be below the ridge and to the southwest of the house, it will be necessary to reach the proposed absorption area location by lifting the sewage effluent about 25 or 30 feet after pretreatment and removal of solids in the septic tanks. It is then possible to use gravity flow to reach the absorption area via approximately 450 feet of shallow two-inch force o Johnston Residence A Parcel of Land, Lot 1, Powell Subdivision On-site Sewage System Construction Recommendations August 6, 1997 Page 3 main. An air relief valve should be installed on the high point of the effluent line between the pumping chamber and absorption field. The pump chamber probably should be of sufficient volume to contain a single day's average wastewater flow of about 2000 gallons. By using two additional 1000 -gallon concrete tanks in series and placing a pump in each, a dose of 400 gallons can be set and released periodically. The second pump provides redundancy in the pumping system to assure proper function. Similar to the septic tanks, the manhole lids of pump chamber tank should be brought to the surface of the ground with riser ring assemblies to facilitate servicing the pumps. Standard duplex pump controls and an alarm system are available to control the pumping cycle. Once the tank elevations and locations are established we will provide you further details and drawings of the pumping system layout. The use of the "Infiltratofrm" graveless leaching chamber system on this property is also worth considering. "Infiltratorrm" leaching chambers in trench configuration receive a 30% reduction in absorption area required under the Pitkin County regulations. This reduction is based on manufacturer's claims of a larger available surface area for infiltration and more storage capacity. The manufacturer represents that the gravel has a masking effect on the amount of infiltrative surface available in a gravel system. An approval of such a reduction has been accepted by the Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control Division and the local regulatory department. Therefore, the suggested system incorporates the alternative use of leaching chambers, as listed above. That construction technique reduces the trench area bottom square footage requirement to 3263 sq. ft. The septic system absorption field layout would then consist of at least twelve trenches, each 100 feet long and placed on contour. With each leaching chamber footprint credited as 18 square feet of absorption area, the proposed design will require a total of 192 sections of graveless leaching chamber units, sixteen in each parallel trench. It is advisable to excavate these trenches as shallow as possible, to a depth of no more than four feet. These trenches should placed six to ten feet apart. The leaching chamber units should be placed in each trench after it is leveled and raked. The chamber unit installation is completed with interlocking connections requiring four F x 1/8" screws to tie the sections together. We now recommend that you use a distribution box at the end of the two-inch force main, just above the highest of the parallel trenches. The box is then connected to each pair of trenches with a piece of solid 4" PVC pipe. A flow splitter tee, such as the Zabel Z200 flow divider unit (brochure attached) can be installed to provide a mechanism for the relatively even loading of each pair of trenches in the absorption system. Using the tees, placed above each section of the leaching chamber trenches run along a contour line for two hundred feet, it is possible to feed two trenches at one time. Such an arrangement will allow the 12 trenches to each receive approximately 8.5% of the total wastewater flow from the septic tanks. o Johnston Residence A Parcel of Land, Lot 1, Powell Subdivision On-site Sewage System Construction Recommendations August 6, 1997 Page 4 The use of low water use toilets, flushing on 1.6 gallons or less, is required and will further reduce the wastewater flow to the system (from an average daily flow of 2080 gallons per day to an actual estimated flow of approximately 1450 gallons per day).

S I r Nelson Environmental & Wastewater Solutions, Ltd E July 28, 1997 W Mr. Rick Beiser S Harriman Construction 409A Aspen Airport Business Center Aspen, CO 81611 Subject: Additional Soil Evaluation and Percolation Tests for a relocated Individual Sewage System for the Johnston Residence located on a 113.6 -acre Parcel of Land on Lot 1, Powell Subdivision, numbered as 0850 Chateau Way, Snowmass, CO Dear Rick, As requested, Nelson Environmental and Wastewater Solutions, Ltd., has performed an additional soils study and percolation testing in the new, preferred location in order to design a septic system alternative for the residence at the subject site. We conducted this study according to Article 5 of the Pitkin County Regulations on Individual Sewage Disposal Systems on July 11, 1997. We have based our recommendations on the subsurface conditions encountered in the new location at that time. Please furnish this letter and a copy of the enclosed data sheet to the Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department to obtain a revised permit to construct this individual sewage system on the hillside, as located. This letter details our findings and recommendations. Construction and Building Site: The house is a large two-story residence with four-bedroom suites, a bunk room and a total of six and one-half bathrooms. The total living area of the house is estimated to be 9,600 square feet. The bunk room is designed to accommodate six single, built-in bunk beds in the two alcoves, and will probably be considered as three bedrooms by the Aspen / Pitkin County Environmental Health Department for purposes of determining the occupancy of the residence and for establishing the sewage system design criteria. Further, the exercise room, with its complete bathroom adjacent, will probably also be considered as having the potential for use as a bedroom during the life of the building, and should be counted as a bedroom for purposes of the individual sewage system sizing. We, therefore, have used a figure of eight bedrooms for purposes of discussion. The water supply to the property is a well system, already developed. The well is 200 feet deep and yields in excess of 15 gallons per minute. The water quality, although hard and somewhat alkaline, should provide a satisfactory drinking water.supply after treatment with conventional water softening equipment. The property is a large parcel of approximately 114 acres. This building site is in the Powell Subdivision in an area of the Snowmass Creek Valley known as Shield -O -Mesa. P.O. Box 6961 Snowmass Village, CO 81615 Office (970) 923.3289 Home & Fax (970) 923.2766 J ops Johnston Residence Lot 1, Powell Subdivision July 28, 1997 Page 2 W The parcel sits several hundred feet above and about 1 mile from Snowmass Creek. The established building envelope sits on a ridge above the well and along the South property line. In our opinion, the immediate house site and staked building enveloped present some significant limitations to the construction of any on-site sewage disposal system anywhere near the proposed residence. Profile excavations in this area revealed shallow, fractured shale bedrock all along the ridge and in all areas within the established building envelope. However, there are some large, relatively flat sagebrush meadows on the eastern side of the property that do appear to offer soil conditions considered suitable under the established county regulatory criteria, and may prove acceptable for conventional onsite sewage treatment system construction techniques. Subsurface Conditions: The soil profile, within 20 feet of the edge of the proposed absorption area, was excavated to a depth of eight feet in conjunction with this investigation. This excavation revealed that no groundwater was present within eight feet of the surface of the ground. No bedrock was encountered in the profile excavation. The subsoil consisted of a moist dark grayish brown clay loam grading to a more hard tan clay loam with some loose shale fragments encountered below five feet of depth. The clay loam subsoil exhibited a slight tendency to swell when wet and compacted somewhat under the pressure of the excavation equipment. Percolation Testing: After discussion with your company, it was decided that it was appropriate to try an additional percolation test in the smaller sloping meadow area a few hundred feet below the building envelope. The percolation holes were dug within the area being proposed as a possible relocated site for the onsite wastewater system absorption area. The subsurface soil conditions were evaluated with the standard percolation test procedures at the approximate location shown on Figure 1. This set of six percolation test holes was excavated by hand in the bottom of backhoe pits to a depth of approximately forty to forty-eight inches. Of the percolation test holes, the top three were in the dark clay loam, and the lower three encountered a more stiff clayey subsoil at the bottom of the backhoe excavation and at a depth where the final percolation test holes were located. The preparation of the test holes included placing four inches of gravel at the bottom of each, scarifying and roughing the bottom and sidewalls of the holes to provide an open, 1) X Johnston Residence Lot 1, Powell Subdivision July 28, 1997 Page 3 natural surface into which water could percolate, removing all loose soil material from the bottom before presoaking, and finally, carefully adding water to prevent the scouring of soil from the sidewall during refilling for the presoaking. The percolation holes were pre-soaked before testing by adding water the evening before and again beginning approximately eight hours before the percolation test. The test holes were refilled to a depth of fourteen inches above the gravel layer at the bottom of each of the test holes every two hours during the time period of the presoaking. The results of the percolation testing are presented in Table I. These results indicate the clay loam and sandy clay soils have an average percolation rate of 41 minutes per inch, a satisfactory rate under Pitkin County criteria. Limitations: This report has been prepared according to generally accepted practices in this area for use for sewage disposal design purposes. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in this report are based upon data obtained from our site visits at the location indicated. There is some possibility that the nature and extent of variations in the subsurface soils across the site may not have been evident at the time of this investigation, and may need additional evaluation, if further excavation reveals conditions different from those described. This office should be advised of any unusual situations as soon as possible so that we may reevaluate our recommendations. If you have questions or if we may be of further assistance, please call the office. Sincerely, Robert F.

This well is 196 feet deep, and had a static water level of 79.82 feet on 12 h1ay. Al this t ne, on1v v, titer levet data are a,: ailable from you for a test condua led at an average rate of 18.6 gallons pe minute (.gpm) over a period of 24 hours.. plus 6 hours of water level recoven• data a1 ter the cessation of pumping. For r-nore dcr ailed analyses, a driller's log of :he well and to_ to map showing the well loDation wile eventually be needed. The drawdovm data and the attached d-aWdON;Ta data plot indicate that this Fell produces from a fractured formation, and that the shallower fra_tures appaTently giving the steeper drarvdc,'an rate s. -en in later time. We suggest that static water levels be checked periodically in order to monitor possible problems due to further fracture dewatering as the well is pumped over long periods of time, and to provide an early 1r aL-=S eLi to possible wand or puinL, problems. Pump:: g. ratesvaried :prom about 22 &,rr--,i to about 17.9 ggm during &ie test, and averaged 1€,.6 gpm over 24 hours.

As you can see, my drawing is not to scale, but I think that whoever looks at it will get the idea. Who ever ends up completing the as -built is welcome to just add on to this, or they can make their own drawing. Either is fine with me. It's been a pleasure working with you and you did a great job. Maybe I'll see you when it's time to do the tank (and the rest of it) inspection. I really appreciate the extra effort that you put in at the end!!

The application is submitted pursuant to Section 4-140.30 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code by John W. and Rattikan Powell, the owners of the property (see Exhibit 2, Title Commitment). Permission for Vann Associates to represent the Applicants is attached as Exhibit 3. An executed application fee agreement is attached as Exhibit 4. A list of adjacent property owners will be submitted prior to review by the Board of County Commissioners. Background The property in question is located approximately one-half mile west of the Shield -0 - Mesa Subdivision in Sections 15 and 22, Township 9 South, Range 86 West. The Applicants received final plat approval for a 50 percent density reduction subdivision from the Board of County Commissioners on February 23, 1993 (see Exhibit 5, BOCC Resolution No. 93-28). Pursuant to Section 4-140.20 of the Code, the subdivi- sion's vested rights status will expire on February 23, 1996, unless otherwise extended by the BOCC. Lot 2 of the Powell Subdivision was sold in March of 1993. Lot 1 is presently under contract. The prospective purchaser of Lot 1 has requested that the Applicants obtain an extension of the subdivision's vested rights status as a condition of the sale. Such requirements can be expected to become increasingly common as purchaser's of property attempt to identify changes in the County's land use regulations that could 230 East Hopkins Avenue • Aspen, Colorado 81611 • 970/925-6958 • Fax 970/920-9310 Ms. Ellen Sassano February 19, 1996 Page 2 adversely affect development. As the subdivision's vested rights status will expire prior to the purchaser commencing construction, an extension is required. Review Requirements In reviewing a request for an extension of vested property rights, the BOCC is required to consider the following criteria. 1) "The applicant's compliance with any conditions requiring performance prior to the date of application for extension of vested rights". The Applicants have complied with all conditions of BOCC Resolution No. 93-28 that were required to be met in connection with the receipt of final plat approval. Both the plat and protective covenants were revised as required and recorded with the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. A copy of the final plat accompanies this application while the covenants are attached as Exhibit 6. A road improvement agreement was also recorded as required, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 7. 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." As noted previously, Lot 2 has been sold. It is my understanding that the various road improvements outlined in Exhibit 7 with respect to road segment #1 have been completed. The remaining road improvements will be completed prior to issuance of a building permit for Lot 1. 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." As discussed above, improvements have been completed to portions of the access road that serves the Powell Subdivision as provided for in the attached road improvement agreement. 4) "The needs of the County and the applicant that would be served by approval of the extension request." As no significant changes to the previously approved building envelope would arguably occur as a result of repeating the original approval process, the granting of the requested vested rights extension, with modified conditions in the event appro- priate, would appear to be in the best interest of both the Applicants and the County. s Ms. Ellen Sassano February 19, 1996 Page 3 Should you have any questions, or if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

APPROVED AND ADOPTED ON THE 24TH OF JULY, 1996 BOARD OF COUNTY COMNIISSIONERS PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO James R. True, Chairman Date: A T: Jeanette Jones, Deputy Clerk & Recorder APPROVED AS TO CONTENT ,17 Cindy Houben Community Development Director -5- A PROVED AS TO FORM: County Attorney ( U 1�44i. �7 AN EMERGENCY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS FOR DEVELOPMENT ON REAL PROPERTY ACCESSED BY THE SHIELD O TERRACE AND THE SHIELD O MESA ROADS AND MODIFYING ROAD STANDARDS FOR SHIELD O TERRACE AND SHIELD O MESA ROADS RESOLUTION #96-145 RECITALS 1. The Shield O area, which includes property in the area known as Shield O Terrace, Shield O Mesa, as well as other parcels of land which are accessed by the Shield O Terrace Road and the Shield O Mesa Road, has been undergoing development since the late 1960s. There has never been a formal subdivision for Shield O Terrace or Shield O Mesa, and development and approvals have been taken on a case by case basis. 2. The Shield O Mesa Road and the Shield O Terrace Road do not meet County road standards. 3. The case by case development and approval process has been unsuccessful in attempting to institute road improvements and upgrades for the Shield O Terrace and Shield O Mesa Roads. 4. In 1995 the Board of County Commissioners received referral comments from the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office, the Basalt Fire District and the State Forest Service expressing concern about emergency access to both existing and proposed homesites in the Shield O Mesa area and, as a result of these comments the Board tabled several development applications while the road issues could be studied. 5. There are at least ninety-six parcels of property in the Shield O area, of which only approximately twenty percent have been improved with single family dwellings. 6. In the fall of 1995, the Board of County Commissioners directed county staff to assist the Shield O area homeowners in coming up with a solution to the problems with the roads, and further agreed to finance $8,000.00 for engineering to begin the process of designing road improvements. 7. County staff obtained the necessary engineering and presented various options to Shield 0 area property owners in December 1995. Resolution #96 - Page 2 8. Development sites within the Shield 0 area typically contain wildfire hazard, in addition to other 1041 concerns. 9. The Pitkin County Land Use Code requires that access roads to development in wildfire hazard areas "be built to County standards," section 3-80.7-7. 10. These roads were never designed to county standards, and because of the steep grades in portions of the roads, they could not be redesigned and rebuilt to meet standards at anywhere near an affordable cost, nor could such redesign be accomplished without other environmental degradation, such as severe road cuts into the hillsides. 11. The State Forest Service has indicated that the most serious problem faced by homes in the area is the inadequacy of the access roads, with no other evacuation route in the event the road is cut off by fire or clogged with evacuating residents and responding fire equipment. The State Forest Service also recommends grades no greater than ten percent, which the Shield 0 Roads cannot meet. 12. The Pitkin County Sheriffs Office has stated in referrals relating to numerous land use applications for development in the Shield 0 area that the road infrastructure in the subdivision as a whole is deficient and poses a serious threat to emergency response personnel and residents of the subdivision and that expanding an already deficient subdivision will only exacerbate a poor situation. 13. The Basalt Fire Protection District which serves the Shield 0 area has also expressed concern about further development in the Shield 0 area, the concern being that continuous development in the area without improvements to the road and water supply could result in a fire -related catastrophe in the area. 14. The Pitkin County Land Use Code prohibits development if site planning and engineering techniques cannot completely mitigate hazards to public health, safety and welfare, Pitkin County Land Use Code section 3-80.30. The code also prohibits development if such development subjects other persons or the county to dangers or expenses required to mitigate hazardous conditions or to respond to emergencies created by such conditions. 15. C.R.S. § 30-15-401 (h) provides that the "county may establish fire lanes and emergency vehicle access on public or private property zoned commercial or residential and provide for fines and punishment of violators". 16. Even though the county has the power to establish fire lanes and emergency vehicle access on private residential property, there are additional improvements which must be made to the Shield 0 roads, and there is a need for an enforceable agreement for continuing maintenance of those roads once the improvements are made, to maintain acceptable access for fire and emergency vehicle access. *40 Resolution #96 - Page 3 17. The efforts of the county and various homeowners and private attorneys to resolve the problems have been unsuccessful. 18. The Board has directed staff to process new development applications in the Shield O area with the understanding that permits will not issue until the road issues are resolved and has requested a condition be imposed upon any development approvals requested for the Shield O area that no building permit be issued until the roads are improved to a standard satisfactory to the Board of County Commissioners, or until a plan is in place and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners for such improvements and continued maintenance. 19. The homeowners in the Shield O area have made it clear to the Board of County Commissioners that they do not wish to have their roads become public, and thus the formation of any type of public district with the assistance of the county is not an option. 20. Resolution of the road problems will depend upon the cooperation and agreement among the various land owners in the area, a decision making process over which the county has no control. 21. It is necessary to the safety, health and welfare of not only the residents of the area, but of those providing emergency services to residents of the area, and thus to the county at large, to prohibit further development in the area until the access roads meet certain minimum standards, and a moratorium on the issuance of any further building permits for any property accessed by these roads is necessary. 22. It is necessary, in order to allow development on these properties in the future, to modify County road standards in a fashion that does not compromise health, safety and welfare. 23. Based upon estimated traffic at build out, the approximate traffic will be 372 vehicles per day for the Shield O Terrace Road and 544 vehicles per day on the Shield O Mesa Road. 24. Based upon these estimates, both roads fall within the rural access standard which calls for the following. STANDARDS RURAL Traffic Vol. 250 to 800 vpd Min. Right of Way 40 ft. Design Speed 25 mph Width of surface/shoulder 2@ 1 Oft/ 2 to 4 ft Min. Curve Radius 175 ft Max Grade (in%) 10% Resolution 996 - Page 4 25. Modification of these standards which do not severely compromise health, safety, and welfare are necessary, because it is economically impossible as well as environmentally unsound to require full compliance. 26. Some of the Shield O homeowners have already hired a planner to assist in obtaining specific engineering studies and cost estimates for road improvements. NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, State of Colorado, that no further building permits will issue for development of any kind for any property accessed by the Shield O Terrace and/or Shield O Mesa roads, and that this moratorium on the issuance of building permits shall be subject to the following. 1. Applications for development approvals will continue to be processed. through the Community Development Office, but any approval will be subject to the condition that no permits will issue until the road complies with the minimum standards set forth herein. ! 2. The moratorium will be temporary, but will not be rescinded until the v roads have been improved to the minimum standards set forth herein. 3. The moratorium will not be rescinded until such time as there is an enforceable agreement in place that assures the roads will be maintained to the standards set forth herein. 4. The minimum standards for improvements for these roads are as follows. STANDARDS Min. Right of Way Design Speed Width of surface/shoulder Min. Curve Radius Max Grade (in%) RURAL 30 ft. 20 mph 2@18ft/1ft 50 ft 12% to 20% with approval of County Engineer, Emergency Service Provider, and Basalt Fire Protection District. 5. In addition to the road standards, there must be provision for water storage �, (l and an emergency evacuation plan as recommended by the Basalt Fire Protection District Q,w9 r 6 as mitigation of the wildfire hazard. 6. This emergency resolution is effective immediately. Resolution #96 - Page 5 INTRODUCED AND ADOPTED ON THE 12th DAY OF JUNE, 1996.

The applicant requests approval of a minor amendment to the recorded Final Plat of the Powell Density Reduction Lot Split, recorded in Plat Book 30 at Page 97. • Specifically, the recorded plat will be amended to reflect the relocation of the private driveway within Lot 1 to a new alignment. The applicant's Engineer confirms that the proposed alignment is "far superior" to the platted alignment for the following reasons: • It is 1/2 the length of the platted alignment; and • It crosses slopes of a maximum grade of 15% in comparison to 30% grades crossed by the platted alignment; and • It can be constructed at an average grade of 8% (well within the County standard for driveways); and • It eliminates the need for switchbacks required by the platted alignment; and • It does not interfere with the Elk Creek Ditch, as the platted alignment does (based on an assumption that the ditch was, or would soon be abandoned); and • It will require less cutting than the platted alignment, and should therefore have a lower visual and environmental impact; and • The subdivider of the property had moved the original alignment of the driveway off of an existing road in order to address the Monestary's concerns about visual impacts. The new alignment will be located in an area which is also totally out of the viewplane of the Monestary. ISSUES 1 Compliance with Minor Plat Amendment Criteria (Section -3--1 00-80 of tht Land Use Codel - The Land Use Code stipulates that Minor Plat Amendments are limited to technical or engineering considerations first discovered during actual development. The Board may approve such amendments based upon a finding of compliance with the following criteria: A. The amendment increases or does not effect the degree of compliance with Code standards; B. The amendment is being made to a recorded plat which has been approved by Pitkin County; Response: Final Plat documents for the Powell Density Reduction Lot Split were approved by the Board of County Commissioners and recorded. C. The amendment is consistent with representations made during the conceptual and detailed subdivision reviews, whichever is applicable. Response: While the alignment has clearly changed (see attached photographs), physical and visual impacts will be less than those anticipated in relation to the platted driveway alignment. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposed minor plat amendment. All existing conditions in Resolution #s 92-383 and 93-28 will remain intact and must be adhered to. including the requirement that the applicant obtain an access permit prior to commencement of driveway construction.

The purpose of the amendment is to relocate the private driveway within Lot 1 to a new alignment which has the following advantages over the alignment shown on the Final Plat: (i) The new alignment is roughly half the length of the platted alignment (±500 feet versus ±1000 feet). (ii) The platted alignment crosses slopes of more than 30 percent, while the maximum slope traversed by the new alignment is roughly 15 percent. (iii) The new alignment maintains an 8 percent grade. (iv) The new alignment requires no switchback, while the platted alignment required two switchbacks (with very tight radii) in the steeper areas.

On August 16, 1996, 1 met with Boone Caudill of your office to look at an alternative driveway alignment. Apparently, the approved driveway alignment is the existing ranch road. Near the ridgeline, the approved driveway departs the existing ranch road and makes a very sharp switchback, with a radius of less then 20 feet. This switchback is to prevent vehicles being seen from the Monastery, which lies in the Capitol Creek Valley to the west. The new approved alignment follows on top of the Elk Creek Ditch for ± 200 lineal feet, crossing slopes of more than 30%. The terrain lessens near the building envelope. The approved alignment has a new alignment distance of ± 1000 feet. This alignment crosses Elk Creek Ditch twice. The switchback is of concern because of its minimal radius. This radius would not allow access of emergency vehicles without a backup maneuver. The alternative driveway alignment appears to be much more desirable. The alternative alignment is ± 500 linear feet, maintains an 8% grade and crosses slopes of near 15%. This alignment requires no switchback and departs the existing ranch road one switchback below the approved alignment, thereby eliminating two switchbacks. This is a straightforward alignment to the building envelope and is far superior to the existing ranch road and the approved alternate alignment. This alignment does not interfere with the Elk Creek Ditch. I hope this provides the necessary information you need. Should additional data be required, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, SCHMUESER GORDON MEYER, INC. Ron Thompson Planning Engineer RT:lc/96028A cc: Art Daly, Esq., Holland & Hart MEMORANDUM To: Francis Krizmanich , Community Development Dept. From: Mary Wood, Environmental Health Officer Through: Lee Cassin, Assistant Environmental Health Director Date: January 14, 1997 Re: Sanders Extension of Vested Rights Parcel ID #2645-222-01-001 The Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department has reviewed the details of the Sanders application under the authority of the Pitkin County Code, Title II, Land Use Code. The following conditions will havE! to be met once the development moratorium has been lifted. ADEQUATE PROVISIOIVS FOR WATER NEEDS: Sections 2-170 and 3-110.4: "It is the policy of the County to insure the availability of a water supply of adequate quality, quantity, pressure and dependability for fire protection and support of a proposed land use prior to approval of the use. The County shall require land uses to hook up to existing public systems if service is available." This Department needs adequate information on the quantity of water available for domestic use. This can be done from tests of wells present on-site by a water engineer's or well driller's pump report. The applicant should ensure that the water quality is acceptable by having it tested by a lab such as the Snowmass Water and Sanitation District or Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District. Should the laboratory report for the water sample indicate levels of bacteria of concern, this department can advise the applicants on remediation methods. Before a septic permit can be issued, the well must be drilled to assure that setback requirements from the well to the sewage disposal system can be maintained. Pitkin County Land Use Code requires that the well site be located within the building envelope. It is recommended that low water landscaping (xeriscaping) be used and that the timing of any sprinkler systems be decreased for low water plants. The Colorado State University Cooperative Extension office can be contacted for more information on xeriscaping. A condition of approval for this application is the receipt of information documenting that the location of the well(s) meet setback requirements and can be placed within the building envelope and that quantity/quality of the well water are adequate. Without meeting these requirements a sewage disposal system permit and building permit can not be issued. SEWAGE TREATMENT AND COLLECTION: Sections 2-180 and 3-110.5: "It is the policy of the County to ensure that adequate sewage treatment facilities are available to serve existing and new developments. Public and private sewage disposal systems and connections to such systems shall comply with the sewage disposal guidelines of Pitkin County's Individual Sewage Disposal System Regulation." Lots in the Shield -0 area are served by individual sewage disposal systems. All such systems installed within Pitkin County require septic permits issued by the Environmental Health Department, and must comply with the County's sewage disposal regulations. To receive a septic permit, the applicant will need to submit a septic permit application and appropriate fee with a completed soil data information including percolation test results and profile hole information, as well as site plan and building floor plans. It must be possible to design an adequate sewage disposal system before a building permit can be issued. The Aspen/Pitkin Environmental Health Department will design the system for the applicant as part of the permit fee, if an engineered system is not required. We will do a site visit, advise the applicant about the best location for the system and provide a system design. We will determine if an engineered system is needed based on soil test results. An engineered system is required if any one of the following conditions exists: a percolation rate faster than 5 mpi or slower than 60 mpi; maximum seasonal level of the groundwater table or bedrock less than four feet below the bottom of the proposed absorption system; or a slope in excess of 30%. Prior to initiating any tests at the site, the applicant should contact this office. It is highly recommended that percolation tests be performed between April 15th and November 15th. This department does not feel confident accepting winter soils tests and will determine their validity on a case by case basis. The applicant will need to adhere to minimum horizontal setback requirements for placement of septic system components. The leach field will need to be located a minimum of 100 feet from the applicant's well and from any neighboring wells. Some of these setback requirements include distances from wells, creeks or rivers, irrigation ditches, property line, etc. A chart of the required setbacks has been provided along with these comments. Sewage disposal systems cannot be placed in a floodplain and must be located within the building envelope. The area for the leach field should be located in an area of no traffic, planted with dry land grass, and should not be watered. It is desirable to locate the system downhill from the house so that the system can operate by gravity. The applicant should refer to the Pitkin County Sewage Regulations for detailed information, or call our office to discuss this site. If the well permit states that the sewage disposal system must be of the non -evaporative type where the water is returned to the same stream system in which the well is located, a completely lined field, such as an evapo-transpi ration bed, is not allowed unless the applicant contacts the Colorado Division of Water Resources and a new well permit is in place or a plan of augmentation is created. A condition of approval for this application is the receipt and approval of the sewage disposal permit by the Environmental Health Department before a building permit can be issued. The application must comply with all requirements of the sewage disposal permitting process before a permit will be issued. The sewage disposal system must be located within the building envelope. W WATER QUALITY IMPACTS: Sections 2-140 and 3-70.5 and 3-70.10: "It is the policy of the County to preserve and protect its present water resources, recognizing the County's semi -arid character and that significant transmountain and transbasin diversions and the vested rights of senior appropriators in the basin have materially curtailed the availability of an already scarce water resource. To this end it is the policy of the County that no land use be initiated which would adversely affect the quantity, quality, or accessibility of the County's water resources; or which would occur at the expense of established water -dependent agricultural activities; or which would result in increased salinization of water resources, loss of minimum stream flows, further destruction of wildlife habitat, or major expenditures to reacquire or redistribute major water resources. It is also the policy of the County to maintain a natural vegetative buffer along its surface waters such that the surface and groundwaters of the area are not encroached upon by land uses or other human activities which could cause deterioration of water quality or impair the natural treatment processes provided by meadows and wetlands." The Environmental Health Department is charged with 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 aquifers and their drainage areas are of utmost importance. Roofs and asphalt driveways can be nonpoint sources of water discharge which can contaminate water supplies. This Department recommends that nonpoint sources of discharge must be retained on the property of origin which can be accomplished through landscaping, drainage patterns, detention ponds, and dry wells for water runoff from buildings. Surface water and groundwater contamination can also be caused by inadequate setback distances from sewage disposal systems to proximate wells, rivers, creeks, ponds, and reservoirs. Minimum horizontal distances between components of a sewage disposal system and physical features must be in accordance with the Pitkin County Sewage Regulation. A condition of approval for this application is: None AIR QUALITY: Sections 2-130 and 3-602: .Only that development is permitted which will not contribute significantly to degradation of air quality. This project is not expected to contribute significantly to degradation of air quality in Pitkin County. The applicant must file a fireplace/woodstove permit with the Environmental Health Department before the building permit will be issued. The less densely populated parts of the county like may have two devices per building: a maximum of one wood burning fireplace and a second device which can be either a gas log fireplace or a certified woodstove. In addition, unlimited numbers of decorative gas appliances are allowed. Coal may not be burned in any device. No wood burning device may be installed in barns or agricultural buildings. A condition of approval for this application is the receipt and approval of the fireplace/wloodstove permit by the Environmental Health Department before the building permit can be issued.
