RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO DESIGNATING THE BiER PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND SECONDARY
RESIDENCE — HISTORICALLY KNOWN AS THE GAMEKEEPERS LODGE AND THE
CARRIAGE HOUSE - TO THE PIT KIN COUNTY HISTORIC REGISTER AND GRANTING
ONE TDR AS AN INCENTIVE FOR THE DESIGNATION
Resolution No.06+ -2018
RECITALS
1. Pursuant to Section 2.8.4 (Actions) of the Pitkin County Home Rule Charter ("HRC"), all matters not
required to be acted upon by ordinance or formal resolution may be acted upon by informal
resolution.
2. Jeffrey IVt. and Janette R. Bier ("Applicant") have applied to the Board of County Commissioners of
Pitkin County. Colorado ("BOCC") to designate the primary residence and the secondary residence,
historically known as the Gamekeepers Lodge and Carriage House, to the Ilistoric Register, and as ail
incentive for the designation, to obtain ane TDR.
3. The property is located at 18679 Highway 133 and is more specifically described in Attachment A.
4. The property contains 5.58 acres and is zoned AR- 10.
5. The BOCC continued this application at the duly noticed public hearing on August 22, 2018 to
September 12, 2018, at which time evidence and testimony was presented with respect to the application.
6. The BOCC finds the site meets the criteria in Section 7-20-100(b)(2) of the Land Use Code ("Code")
for designation to the Historic Register since the County's Historic Preservation Officer ("HPO")
finds that the Gamekeepers Lodge and its related Carriage I louse are of' high value to the community
and to the overall County historic inventory. The architectural design by the notable Boal & Harnois
firm is significant on its own, but even more so as part of the larger John Osgood Estate. The
structures are recognized as buildings of their time and the overall original character can still be
understood.
7. The BOCC further finds that the issuance of one 'TDR as an incentive for the historic; designation is
appropriate, since the County's Historic Preservation 0fficcr ("HPO") finds that the Gamekeepers
Lodge and Carriage House retain a considerable amount of integrity of setting, design, materials,
workmanship, feeling and association. Furthermore, the two Historic structures are i 1 their original
locations, continue to remain the key elements of the property, and the value of the structures relative
to the overall County 1 listoric Inventory is large.
8. The BOCC further finds that it is in the best interests of the citizens of Pitkin County to approve this
Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it does hereby designate the
Gamekeepers Lodge and Carriage House on the Jeffrey M. and Janette R. Bier property to the Pitkin
County Historic Register, as shown on the map in Attachment B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the 13OCC that it does hereby grant one TDR as an incentive for the
historic designation, subject to the conditions set forth herein, which shall run with the land and be binding
an all successors in interest.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Regular Meeting — September 12, 2018
THRU: Cindy Houben, Community Development Director
FROM: Tami Kochen, Planner
RE: Jeffrey and Janette Bier — Gamekeepers Lodge and Carriage House Designation to Historic
Register and Request for a Historic Preservation Incentive
SUMMARY: The Applicant is requesting to designate the primary residence and the secondary residence,
historically known as the Gamekeepers Lodge and the Carriage House, respectively, to the Historic Register, and
as an incentive for the designation, to obtain one TDR. The structures are located directly across Highway 133
from the Redstone Castle.
APPLICANT: Jeffrey and Janette Bier
LOCATION: 18679 Highway 133, Parcel Identification Number 2729-203-00-008
ZONING/LOT SIZE: AR -10/ 5.58 acres
REFERRAL AGENCIES: The application was referred to the Crystal River Caucus, the County Attorney, and
the Historic Preservation Officer. Comments from the Historic Preservation Officer are incorporated throughout
this memorandum and are found in Attachment C.
STAFF COMMENTS:
DESIGNATION TO HISTORIC REGISTER AND GRANT OF INCENTIVES (LUC Sec. 7-20-100):
The Applicant proposes to designate the primary residence and the secondary residence, historically known as the
Gamekeepers Lodge and the Carriage House to the Historic Register. The structures were constructed between
1899 and 1901. Suzannah Reid, the Pitkin County Historic Preservation Officer ("HPO") states that "the lodge
was designed by Boal and Harnois as part of the Osgood Estate for the purposes of housing the gamekeeper.
This makes the building singular and the only example of this particular design and this particular purpose in
the valley... The style relates to national design trends popular at the time." The Gamekeeper for the Osgood
Estate was responsible for the managing the private game reserve located in the area now known as the Crystal
River Park Subdivision. Photos of the structures taken in 2018 in their current state are found in Attachment D.
Photos of the structures taken around 1901 are found in Attachment E.
The HPO has responded to the Code criteria for designation to the Historic Register in her Memorandum in
Attachment C. She finds that the primary residence and the secondary residence both meet several of the
criteria and are eligible for designation.
The Code provides various incentives for properties designated to the Historic Register to be granted at the
discretion of the BOCC. The Applicant has requested that the BOCC grant one TDR upon designation of the
primary residence and the secondary residence to the Historic Register. To be granted an optional incentive,
the applicant must demonstrate that:
(a) The design of the project meets all applicable historic preservation design guidelines and is in
conformance with the Pitkin County Comprehensive Plan; and
Response: The Crystal River Caucus Master Plan states the following: "Historical, cultural and archaeological
sites are valued and incentives that encourage their preservation should be developed." Staff believes the
historic designation of the structures is in direct conformance with this Crystal River Caucus Master Plan goal,
as well as with the overall Pitkin County Comprehensive Plan.
(b) The benefits provided are proportional to the significance of the historic resource; and
Response: Staff believes that the issuance of one TDR is proportional to the quality and significance of the
historic structures. The criteria for the BOCC to consider in granting a TDR are addressed below.
(c) The historic building remains a key element of the property and the new development does not compromise
the visual integrity of the historic property; and
(d) The new construction is reflective of the proportional patterns found in the historic building's form,
materials and openings, or the work removes later alterations and restores the historic building to its
appearance during its period of significance; and
Response: Beginning in the 1940's the parcel was utilized as a commercial resort. The interior of the
secondary residence known as the Carriage House was remodeled to contain three apartments and underwent
some exterior remodeling and additions at that time. In 1984 a Certificate of Occupancy was issued for
converting the three apartments into a single dwelling. Through the years the majority of the changes to the
secondary residence have been to the interior, however, the integrity of the historic exterior has for the most
part been left intact.
Also around 1940, a small log house addition was constructed on the north side of the primary residence. Staff
believes the addition does not diminish the historical attributes of the parcel in part because of its size,
materials, and setback location from the primary residence.
Other structures existing on the parcel include a small log shed and a garage which have been constructed and
designed with similar materials, colors and style, and do not compromise the visual integrity of the historic
structures. As demonstrated in the photos from around 1901 and the photos from 2018, the historic structures
have been impeccably maintained, can be recognized as buildings of their time, and the overall original
character can still be understood. The two historic structures have remained the key elements of the property.
No new development is proposed at this time.
(e) The project is compatible with the character of the neighborhood in which it is located, and
Response: No new projects are contemplated at this time.
(f) Historic outbuildings, site and landscape features are retained and stabilized and restored, as appropriate.
Response: No other historic outbuildings exist on the property. The general landscaping style and specific
features including original trees have been maintained.
In addition to the criteria addressed above for eligibility for an incentive, Sec. 6-70-40(a)(10) of the Code provides
the following criteria for the BOCC to consider in making a determination on how many TDRs to award:
2
a) Community benefit associated with historic resource, including but not limited to the following
considerations:
1. Value/importance of resource relative to overall County Historic Inventory
2. Accessibility to the public;
3. Visibility to the public;
4. Neighborhood/Caucus Master Plan identification of resource as valuable;
5. Caucus recommendation regarding value of resource to Caucus area;
6. Guarantee of long-term preservation of resource through a covenant, development agreement,
conservation easement or other instrument acceptable to the Community Development Department and
the County Attorney.
Response: The structures are located directly across Highway 133 from the Redstone Castle. The structures are
occupied by Jeffrey M. and Janette R. Bier, and would not be accessible to the public. Due to the structures
being setback from Highway 133 and the presence of mature vegetation, the visibility to the public is limited.
As highlighted in the HPO Memorandum in Attachment C, the value of the structures relative to the overall
County Historic Inventory is large. The Applicant will be required to record a covenant guaranteeing the
preservation of the historic resources.
b) Cumulative Community impacts associated with the following discretionary incentives in the event that one
or more are issued by the BOCC for the property:
1. Growth Management Quota Exemption;
2. Subgrade space exemption from floor area calculation;
3. Exemption from affordable housing mitigation requirements;
4. Density bonus of one additional house or intensity bonus.
Response: The Applicant has requested one TDR as an incentive for the designation and is not seeking
additional development incentives.
c) Amount of incentive required to effect preservation of historic resource
Response: The Applicant has stated that future projects likely include improving the structural integrity of the
foundation of the residence, and pursuing weatherization improvements around the windows. No other
significant preservation projects are proposed at this time as the Applicant has performed continual
maintenance to the structures through the years. One TDR will provide economic incentive for the continued
preservation.
d) Likely development potential of the property based upon zoned density and intensity, development of
comparable properties in the neighborhood, physical characteristics of the land, neighborhood
compatibility, and extent to which infrastructure could accommodate potential development.
Response: The parcel contains 5.58 acres and is located in the AR -10 zone district; therefore, it does not have
the potential for further subdivision and will remain a residential property. The grant of a TDR is in association
with the designation and preservation of the historic structures.
Staff finds that the Applicant has demonstrated compliance with the code criteria for eligibility for an incentive,
and that the issuance of one TDR is proportional to the significance of the historic resource and is a reasonable
incentive to ensure the restoration and preservation of the primary and secondary residences and the
surrounding landscape.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissions make a motion to approve
the designation of the Jeffrey and Janette Bier property to the Historic Register, and as an incentive for the
designation, to grant one TDR.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO DESIGNATING THE BIER PRIMARY RESIDENCE AND SECONDARY
RESIDENCE — HISTORICALLY KNOWN AS THE GAMEKEEPERS LODGE AND THE
CARRIAGE HOUSE - TO THE PITKIN COUNTY HISTORIC REGISTER AND GRANTING
ONE TDR AS AN INCENTIVE FOR THE DESIGNATION
Resolution No. -2018
RECITALS
1. Jeffrey M. and Janette R. Bier ("Applicant") have applied to the Board of County Commissioners of
Pitkin County, Colorado ("BOCC") to designate the primary residence and the secondary residence,
historically known as the Gamekeepers Lodge and Carriage House, to the Historic Register, and as an
incentive for the designation, to obtain one TDR.
2. The property is located at 18679 Highway 133 and is more specifically described in Attachment A.
3. The property contains 5.58 acres and is zoned AR -10.
4. The BOCC continued this application at the duly noticed public hearing on August 22, 2018 to
September 12, 2018, at which time evidence and testimony was presented with respect to the application.
The BOCC finds the site meets the criteria in Section 7-20-100(b)(2) of the Land Use Code ("Code")
for designation to the Historic Register since the County's Historic Preservation Officer ("HPO")
finds that the Gamekeepers Lodge and its related Carriage House are of high value to the community
and to the overall County Historic Inventory. The architectural design by the notable Boal & Harnois
firm is significant on its own, but even more so as part of the larger John Osgood Estate. The
structures are recognized as buildings of their time and the overall original character can still be
understood.
6. The BOCC further finds that the issuance of one TDR as an incentive for the historic designation is
appropriate, since the County's Historic Preservation Officer ("HPO") finds that the Gamekeepers
Lodge and Carriage House retain a considerable amount of integrity of setting, design, materials,
workmanship, feeling and association. Furthermore, the two historic structures are in their original
locations, continue to remain the key elements of the property, and the value of the structures relative
to the overall County Historic Inventory is large.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that it does hereby designate the
Gamekeepers Lodge and Carriage House on the Jeffrey M. and Janette R. Bier property to the Pitkin
County Historic Register, as shown on the map in Attachment B.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the BOCC that it does hereby grant one TDR as an incentive for the
historic designation, subject to the conditions set forth herein, which shall run with the land and be binding
on all successors in interest.
1. The Applicant shall adhere to all material representations made in the application or in public meetings or
hearings and shall consider those representations to be conditions of approval, unless amended by other
conditions.
Resolution No. -2018
Page 2
2. Within 60 days of the date of this approval, the Applicant shall record a covenant agreement in a form
acceptable to the County Attorney in which the Applicant agrees to preserve the historic resources in
accordance with the Pitkin County Preservation Handbook.
3. Concurrent with recordation of the historic covenant, the County shall issue one TDR Certificate to
the Applicant.
4. Failure to comply with these conditions of approval may result in revocation of this permit or any
subsequent permits related to this property or vested rights associated with this property.

Re: Parcel #272920300008
Good Day,
We are applying to Pitkin County to place our home on the County Historical
Register and be eligible for any incentives offered for such designation.
When constructed between 1899 and 1901, the property was known as the
"Gamekeeper's Lodge" and that name appeared on maps of the period and in
numerous historical references. The Lodge was part of John Osgood's estate with
the focus on Cleveholm Manor, his private residence located just across the river
from the Gamekeeper's Lodge.
The Gamekeeper was responsible for the private game preserve located directly to
the South of the Gamekeeper's Lodge. Known as Deer Park, it was fenced with 7 to 8'
high steel fencing and there are still some remnants standing in the trees
surrounding the former preserve. Today, Deer Park is now the Crystal River Park
subdivision.
The Gamekeeper's Lodge was built at the same time as Cleveholm Manor, using
some of the same craftsmen in its construction. The Lodge was designed by
Theodore Boal who also designed Cleveholm Manor, the Redstone Inn or Lodge as it
was originally called and the attendant buildings including the Manor's substantial
carriage house. Boa] designed homes based on the Tudor Revival and Swiss Chalet
styles of architecture of which the Gamekeeper's Lodge is reported to be one of his
best examples of Swiss Chalet Style. Indeed, we had a visitor from Germany and he
stopped in amazement upon seeing the Lodge saying it reminded him of his former
home in the Black Forest.
Surprisingly, the lodge has retained much of its integrity over the years including
the rooflines, shingle siding, balconies and a large exterior light fixture, purple with
age. The interior, although with some remodeling, features many of the original
elements in the simple design. The floors are the original soft pine from the local
sawmill that was located up the East Creek drainage above Redstone. All the
windows are original, complete with bubbles and wavy glass framed by trim from
the same era. Throughout the home are original, working light fixtures and the
working, stone fireplace is capped by a mantel featuring Gothic arches. A small log
addition was added in the 1940's to the northwest corner of the house but is
relatively unassuming and doesn't diminish the historical aspects of the property.
Just south of the Lodge is the original carriage house, built at the same time.
Although the carriage house is in the same style as the main Lodge, it has had some
exterior remodeling and additions that are not original. When the property was
used as a small resort (called Swiss Village) in the 40's and 50's, the carriage house
was divided into 3 small apartments. It is now still used as a lodging facility but has
been converted into one unit.
Also on the property, is a detached 3 car garage that was designed to fit in with the
original architecture of the Lodge.
The property is bordered by Pitkin County Open Space to the North and a private
owner to the South and West. The East boundary is Highway 133, the Crystal River
and Clevehom Manor (Redstone Castle) beyond the river.
We are applying to have this property included in the County's inventory of historic
places. We have been encouraged to do this by former and current county officials
and, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Redstone Historical Society, we
feel it is the right and appropriate thing to do. We are proud of the property's
heritage and want to maintain it for future generations.
Since we have two residential structures on the site and really don't want any
further development, we are asking for a TDR as incentive for this designation.

PITKIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
AGREEMENT FOR PAYMENT OF LAND USE APPLICATION FEES
PITKIN COUNTY (hereinafter COUNTY) and - i F F
(hereinafter APPLICANT) AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. APPLICANT has submitted to COUNTY an application for 9E5IGf0PrVk0yJ TCJ
41l=Kkc— REG4S4iEP (hereinafter, THE PROJECT).
2. APPLICANT understands and agrees that Pitkin County Ordinance No. 012-2015 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 $ Q,waS which is based on_ hours of staff time, and if actual time spent by staff to process the
of
application exceeds the average number 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: Bier Designation to Historic Register & Historic Incentives
(CASE PO51-18; PID 2729-203-00-008)
Date: 7/19/18
Jerffrey M and Janette R Bier are the owners of the Gamekeepers Lodge and have
applied to designate the site to the Pitkin County Historic Register. The Gamekeepers
Lodge and its associated Carriage House are parts of the original Osgood Estate, located
in Redstone, Colorado. Other parts of Osgood's enterprise are currently listed on the
County Register such as the Coke Ovens and the Village of Redstone District. The bulk
of Osgood's personal Estate is currently moving through the designation process.
The Gamekeeper's Lodge (Lodge), as stated in the application, is in almost original
condition and the Carriage House has been somewhat altered. This review focuses
primarily on the Lodge, but the Carriage House shares the same significance.
The Pitkin County Register was created to recognize historic properties a level of
historic, architectural or cultural significance; integrity, visual prominence and/or high
value to the community such that they are of greater importance and clearly
distinguishable from other historic resources. Designation to the register also allows for
the award of significant benefits designed to assist in the preservation of these significant
buildings.
1. Importance of the historic theme to which the resource is related to the
County's history.
2. The number of other historic properties that this resource represents and how it
is exemplary.
3. The resource's level of integrity of location, setting, design, materials,
workmanship, feeling and association.
4. The qualities of singularity such as rarity, uniqueness, and age.
S. Visual prominence.
6. Role in community events and celebrations.
7. If the work of a notable architect, builder or craftsman, how this property
compares with the body of work produced by the individual or firm.
8. If associated with a notable individual, how the property illustrates their
contribution to the county, state or nation.
The Gamekeeper's Lodge and the Carriage House meet several of the criteria for
designation. As part of the original Osgood Estate, the Gamekeeper's Lodge shares the
historical significance of the Castle and the Village of Redstone.
In summary:
1. The Gamekeeper's Lodge and its associated building represent the theme of
mining, which is one of the three most important themes in Pitkin County along with
ranching and tourism/skiing. The coal deposits in the Crystal Valley were extremely
desirable and John C Osgood acquired the mining rights to the very desirable coal
deposits in the Crystal Valley and built his company into the largest coal company in
Colorado; Colorado Fuel & Iron. What makes this site singular is that Osgood chose
to make the Crystal Valley his home and this site was part of his personal estate,
which included a private game preserve. The Gamekeeper's lodge was the primary
building associated with the preserve. This property and its associated story
encapsulates the entire story Osgood, personally and of coal mining in Colorado and
the Nation.
2. As part of the Estate, the Gamekeeper's Lodge adds an important component of the
larger Osgood Estate story. It shares several design elements with other Estate
buildings but this is the only one created for this purpose.
3. The Lodge retains a considerable amount of integrity of location, setting, design,
materials, workmanship, feeling and association. Most importantly the building is in
its original location and still retains its original form, design elements and materials.
The approx. 3 acre site is similar in character to the original setting with lawn in the
foreground and indigenous forest surrounding the other sides. The design does not
mimic the Castle buildings, but shares a sensibility and thoughtfulness seen
throughout the Osgood era buildings.
4. The Lodge was designed by Boal & Harnois as part of the Estate for the purpose of
housing the gamekeeper. This makes the building singular and the only example of
this particular design and this particular purpose in the valley.
5. The Lodge sits directly opposite the Castle across the Crystal River and Hwy 133.
It is visible from 133, though it sits in a wooded area.
6. No documented community events are associated with the building. However,
Osgood and his wealthy visitors would have used the grounds for hunting trips during
their extended stays.
7. The Lodge, and its associated building were designed by the Denver firm of Boal
& Harnois. The work of this prominent firm is well documented and the buildings
that Osgood commissioned display a high level of architectural design. The Lodge
represents a unique style, developed by the architects for the Estate. They combined
Tyrolian, Tudor Revival, and Richardsonian influences to create a unique design
language that varies among the Estate buildings. The style relates to national design
trends popular at the time. The Lodge and its related Carriage House along with the
Castle and the associated Village of Redstone were all conceived together and
represent Osgood's vision of social hierarchy and an ideal company town. The
design of the Lodge is significant on its own, but even more so as part of the larger
Estate.
8. John C Osgood's Estate as well as the Village of Redstone, Coke Ovens and Coal
Basin nearby are the product of Osgood's journey to wealth. Osgood was a
contemporary and equal of Rockefeller, Roosevelt and Morgan at the turn of the
century, but he also became interested in the idea of welfare capitalism, which at is
core attempted to provide a higher quality of life for miners and their families in an
effort to discourage the formation of unions. All the buildings, from the Castle to the
cottages on the boulevard, represent his philosophy.
Welfare capitalism never took hold in the US and Osgood ultimately turned against
his workers. The events that centered on Osgood have national significance and this
property is singularly associated with him and his estate.
The Lodge and Carriage House represent a high level of historic, architectural and
cultural significance; they retain considerable integrity, and are of high value to the
community. They are significant parts of the Osgood Estate and worthy of designation in
their own right. This designation will expand the protections for the Osgood related
buildings and will contribute to the preservation of this nationally important story. The
request for TDRs is appropriate for the quality and significance of these buildings.

Hi Tami,
This is a photo of the garage; we have tried to carry through with the spirit of the original house design and have made allowances for similar columns and design features when financially able to do so.
Best,
Jeff
