ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION OF THE PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR GRANTING APPROVAL FOR THE ST. BENEDICT'S MONASTERY
ACTIVITY ENVELOPE AND SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR AN ONSITE SOLAR COLLECTOR
Administrative Decision No&'�2018
RECITALS
St. Benedict's Monastery (hereafter referred to as "Applicant") has applied to the Community
Development Director of Pitkin County, Colorado ("Director") for Activity Envelope and Site Plan
Review to construct a 205 KW onsite, ground -mounted solar collector for the power usage on the Property.
2. The Parcel is located at 1012 Monastery Road and is more specifically described in Exhibit A. PID#:
2643-351-08-002.
3. The property is approximately 2,255.85 acres, and is in the RS -30 zone district, and is conforming in
size.
4. The property is currently developed with 14 primary buildings that include the gate house, 7 retreat
hermitages, Retreat Center House, ranch houses, main Monastery, the eggery and a number of maintenance,
hay barns, bams and out buildings.
5. The proposed Activity Envelope of approximately 30,000 square feet sits just behind the main Monastery
building to the South and East near the maintenance shed behind a small ridge. The location is a grassy
area with some small patches of sage brush (the greenhouse was located in this area previously). The solar
collector and accessory components will be located within the envelope that will be fenced.
6. The solar collector is comprised of 5 rows of tables that contain 20 modules (solar panels) per table.
The two northern rows contain 7 tables and 140 modules each. The third row from the north contains 6
tables and 120 modules. The forth row from the north contains 5 tables and 100 modules. The fifth row
from the north contains 4 tables (and a partial table) and 88 modules.
The Application was referred to the Snowmass/Capitol Caucus. The Caucus had no objection.
8. The Director finds that the Site Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Land Use Code
("Code"), as follows:
a. The solar collector and accessory uses are located within an Activity Envelope that avoids slopes in
excess of 30%.
b. The envelope and PV system are located in a predominantly grassy area with some sage brush patches. It is
located directly adjacent to existing development within a previously disturbed area and there are no
existing trees within the envelope.
c. The envelope and PV system are located behind a small ridge and cannot be seen from Capitol Creek Road
or neighboring properties.
d. The proposed ground mounted solar collection device is an accessory use to the Monastery.
9. The Director further finds the Solar Energy Collector will be used primarily to offset the onsite energy
usage, and complies with Sec. 4-30-50(i). The system was designed by Holy Cross and Sunsense to
produce enough energy to match the annual cost of the Monastery's usage. The average annual costs
(with taxes and fees) accrued by the Monastery Property is approximately $30,000 a year (based on
Administrative Decision Na,�2018
Page 2
2016). The system is designed to generate approximately $30,000 per year in Photovoltaic credit. The
solar collection device will be privately owned by the St. Benedict's Monastery.
9. Public notice mailings were sent to property owners within 300' of the subject property on April 9, 2018
and a Public Notice Sign was posted on the property on April 13, 2018. No objections were received within
30 days.
APPROVED by the Director, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on

SUMMARY LETTER
Activity Envelope/Site Plan Review for Ground Mounted Solar Array
LOCATION: 1012 Monastery Road
ZONING: RS -30
OWNER: St Benedict's Monastery
REPRESENTATIVE: Jeff Lauckhart
PHONE & EMAIL: 963-1420, teff sunsensesolar.com
DATE: March 15, 2018
PID# 264517400001
SIZE: 2,255 Acres
PLANNER: Mike Kraemer 920-5482
Legal Description: Section: 16 Township: 9 Range: 86 LAND IN SEC 16 17 20 21
The applicant is requesting approval to establish an Activity Envelope for construction of a 205 kW ground
mounted solar array within the vicinity of the main Monastery building.
The ground mounted solar array will be privately owned by St Benedict's Monastery and is sized to produce
the equivalent amount of energy that is used on the multiple meters located around the Monastery property.
Although the solar array is not "net metered", as it will be interconnected to the Holy Cross grid under the
"generation tariff", as the nearest energy user in the vicinity, much of the energy produced will be used by the
Monastery. The kilowatt hours produced by the solar array will be purchased by Holy Cross Energy. No
energy will be sold by St. Benedict's Monastery to any other user.
Existing conditions:
As demonstrated on the attached site plan, the activity envelope encompasses an area large enough to
accommodate the solar array, plus a code mandated fence, and surrounds the Holy Cross three phase utility
interconnection location. The envelope also incorporates access ways to construct and service the photovoltaic
system.
The proposed activity envelope does not include any geologic hazards and is free from steep slopes,
potentially unstable soils, floodplain and significant drainage channels.
Standards Report:
Sec. 7-10-50: Activity Envelope and Site Plan
See 24"X 36"and 11" X17" Activity Envelope and Site Plan Review.
Sec. 7-20-10: Site Preparation and Grading
Site preparation simply involves mowing the existing grasses and shrubbery. The site
will not need to be grubbed or graded in order to construct the solar array. The
foundation points of the solar mounting structure will be screwed directly in to the ground
with no preliminary excavation required.
Sec. 7-20-20: Steep and Potentially Unstable Slopes (cannot be located on slopes > 30%);
As demonstrated by the attached topographic survey, slopes within the activity envelope do
not exceed 30%.
Sec. 7-20-80: River Stream Corridors and Wetlands
There are no river stream corridors or wetlands in the proposed activity envelope.
Sec. 4-30-50(h): Solar Energy Collector
Solar energy collector specification and design are in compliance.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Planning office fee of $149 plus Public Notice fee of $54

AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION FEES
P ITK I N C OU NTY (herei nafter "CO U NTY") and S+•-&-viC4-�GTS tA0✓A-ga± m
(hereinafter "APPLICANT") AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for S- . --�2y1 Qd� GLS
rAOAaJ`ti ex. -1 doLox ► T -r -C-0 (hereinafter, 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 the 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.

The Snowmass/Capitol Caucus Land Use Committee walked the site and reviewed the package
presented. At the full Caucus Meeting on April 17, 2018, we discussed the project and held a vote of all
caucus members.
With a unanimous vote. The Caucus has approved this application. The caucus supports solar and was
pleased that this ground mounted solar field would not be visible from the neighboring properties.
Thank you for considering our concerns.
