FROM: Suzanne Wolff, Assistant Director
RE: Resolution Approving a Ten (10) Year Extension of Vested Real Property Rights for Craig
Ranch Parcels 3, 5 and 6
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 2-20-170, the Applicant is seeking a ten (10) year extension of the
vested rights associated with the approvals granted pursuant to BOCC Resolution No. 144-2004 and
amended by BOCC Resolution No. 043-2007.
APPLICANT: Michael Craig and Elizabeth Tasker, Woody Creek Farms LLC
REPRESENTATIVE: Alan Richman
LOCATION: Craig Ranch Parcels, Woody Creek Road
ZONING/LOT SIZE: The three parcels are zoned RS -20 and contain:
• Parcel 3 — 305.9 acres
• Parcel 5 — 90.2 acres
• Parcel 6 — 100.0 acres
EXISTING CONDITIONS/BACKGROUND: All three parcels are vacant. Parcel 3 is on the north side of
Woody Creek Road. Parcels 5 and 6 are on the south side of Woody Creek Road.
• The Craig Ranch was split into eight (8) parcels, each containing more than 35 acres in size; therefore,
County approval was not required. The Subdivision Exemption Plat was recorded in Plat Book 68 at
Page 62.
• The BOCC rezoned Parcel 1 to Rural/Remote, pursuant to Ordinance No. 44-2004. The County then
issued 8 TDRs (1 TDR/35 acres) and sterilized the parcel (Deed Restriction recorded at Reception
#525496). The TDRs were proposed to be utilized on the remaining 7 parcels.
• The BOCC approved Resolution No. 144-2004, which established building envelopes on each parcel and
approved the use of TDRs for initial development rights and additional floor area on the parcels to
develop up to a maximum of 7,500 square feet of floor area on each parcel. The BOCC granted a fifteen
(15) year vested right, which will expire on October 13, 2019. A Development Agreement memorializing
the conditions of approval and the vested rights was recorded as Reception #525493.
• The BOCC approved Resolution No. 043-2007, which combined Parcels 2 and 3 into a single parcel
(Parcel 3) and allowed for development of a maximum floor area of 10,750 square feet of floor area on
Parcel 3. The amended plat was recorded in Plat Book 85 at Page 87. The Development Agreement was
amended to reflect the merger of Parcels 2 and 3, and was recorded as Reception #544769.
Parcel 4 has been sold and redeveloped. Parcel 7 was sold and a single family residence was built. Parcel 8
sold this summer.
REFERRAL COMMENTS: The Woody Creek Caucus District Planning Commission recommends a
three year extension, rather than the requested 10 year extension. Janet Schoeberlein submitted a
"dissenting opinion" that supports the 10 year extension. Neighbor Margaret Reckling supports the
requested 10 year extension. Open Space and Trails also supports the request.
STAFF COMMENTS:
VESTED RiGHTs EXTENSION: The Applicant is requesting a 10 year extension of the vested rights for
Parcels 3, 5 and 6. No development has occurred on any of the parcels. All three parcels are listed for
sale. While the vested rights do not expire until next year, the pending expiration is a factor in the
marketing of the parcels, as it will take time for a new owner to complete plans to submit for review and
permit.
Pursuant to Land Use Code Sec. 2-20-170(c)(2):
A vested right, as defined in C.R.S. 24-68-101 et. seq., may be vested for a period longer than
three (3) years through the use of a development agreement. A development agreement is an
agreement between the County and the property owner providing that vested rights will be
granted for a longer term in return for additional certainty or benefits granted by the property
owner to the County regarding a specific final development of the property. For example, vested
right for periods longer than the statutory three (3) year period may be considered if (a) the
applicant makes commitments that the property will protect significantly more open space, or will
provide significantly more affordable housing, than would otherwise be required by this Land
Use Code, or (b) the proposed development will be completed in phases, and the County and
applicant wish to agree on the timing of those phases and related infrastructure requirements.
Development agreements shall not be used simply to extend the three (3) year vesting period
when significant additional contributions of open space or affordable housing (beyond the
requirement of this Land Use Code) are not made, and a phased development is not involved, or
simply to provide additional flexibility in the timing of development.
A Development Agreement was recorded to memorialize the original 15 year vested right granted in
2004. The Applicants propose to enter into an updated and re -stated development agreement for Parcels
3, 5 and 6.
Pursuant to Sec. 2-20-170(d), 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: Subsequent to the BOCC's 2004 approval, the Applicant has complied with those conditions
of approval that were required to be accomplished at this stage of the development process:
• Recorded 1041 Hazard Review Site Plans for Parcels 2-8.
• Recorded a Development Agreement, which was amended after the merger of Parcels 2 and 3.
• Recorded a Deed Restriction sterilizing Parcel 1.
• Recorded a Historic Preservation Covenant as Reception #525494 to protect the historic structures on
Parcels 4 and 8.
• Dedicated a 60' right-of-way for Woody Creek Road to the County on the plat for the use and benefit
of the general public. The right-of-way was conveyed to the County in fee simple by the deed
recorded as Reception #525492.
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 Applicants have recorded all required documents required to pursue the project. The
Applicants will not be the ultimate developers of the parcels, and have not pursued any permits for the
parcels. The Applicants estimate that they have spent in excess of $350,000 to date on professional
services and County fees associated with the project.
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 received the following benefits as a result of the project approval:
• A 60' right-of-way for Woody Creek Road was dedicated to the County.
• An Historic Preservation Covenant was recorded ensuring the preservation of the historic
structures on Parcels 4 and 8.
• The Applicants agreed that each owner would pay a road impact fee at the time of building permit
issuance, and did not request a credit for the right-of-way dedication to offset the fee.
• The Applicants agreed that the floor area for the parcels would be calculated based on the
County's regulations in effect at the time of building permit application, rather than based on the
regulations in effect at the time of the approval.
• The owners of Parcel 3 voluntarily donated a Conservation Easement to Pitkin County, which
encumbers the land outside of the approved building envelope on Parcel 3 (approximately 300 acres);
the Conservation Easement is recorded as Reception #545337.
In addition, as part of the approval process, the Applicants:
Downzoned 300 acres of the ranch from RS -20 to Rural/Remote, and sterilized the land against
all development.
Reduced the property to 6 developable parcels. Under the RS -20 zone district, the potential
allowable density for the 1,100 acre ranch was 50 units.
Limited the floor area of Parcels 4-8 to 7,500 square feet and the floor area of Parcel 3 to 10,750
square feet (where a maximum floor area of 15,000 square feet was allowed on each parcel).
As noted in the application, these actions have helped to preserve the rural character of Woody Creek and
have limited the development potential of the ranch to a level considerable below what would otherwise
have been anticipated. These actions are consistent with the goals of the 2016 Woody Creek Caucus
Master Plan. In addition, for 15 years the parcels have remained vacant and have been maintained as
productive agricultural land and wildlife habitat.
4. The needs of the County and the applicant that would be served by approval of the extension or
reinstatement request.
Response: As specified above, the needs of the County have been well served by the development
approvals that were granted in 2004, which created a conservation development plan for the ranch. An
extension of the vested rights would acknowledge that the plan is still valid and consistent with current
goals and regulations.
The Applicant notes that they are not in a position to offer additional public benefits to obtain the
extension, but feels that the previously offered and accepted benefits continue to be meaningful to the
public.
Sec. 2-20-170(d) states, "Unless explicitly stated in the resolution or decision of the Board authorizing the
extension or reinstatement, the vested right shall be modified ... to require that the approved development
conform to the terms and provisions of the Land Use Code on the date of the extension or reinstatement."
There are several changes to the Code that are incorporated in the conditions of approval:
• The owners of Parcels 3, 5 and 6 shall pay the applicable employee housing impact fee at
building permit.
• Development on Parcels 3, 5 and 6 shall be subject to Site Plan Review, prior to building permit
application. At that time each owner shall establish an Activity Envelope to encompass all
development, including structures, landscaping, OWTS, etc.
• With the Site Plan Review applications for Parcels 5 and 6, the owners shall provide geotechnical
evaluations of the alluvial fan.
• The wildlife mitigation conditions shall include additional current regulations.
• The roofing requirements shall be updated.
• A PM10 mitigation plan is no longer required.
With these changes to the conditions of approval to conform to the current terms and provision of the
Code, and given the benefits associated with the original development approval, staff would support a 10
year extension.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the BOCC adopt the "Resolution Approving a Ten (10)
Year Extension of Vested Real Property Rights for Craig Ranch Parcels 3, 5 and 6."

approved building envelope on Parcel 3 (approximately 300 acres).
D. Downzoning of 300 acres of the ranch from RS -20 to Rural/Remote, and sterilization of the land
against all development.
E. Limiting development to 6 parcels, where in the RS -20 zone district, the potential allowable
density for the original 1,100 acre ranch was 50 units.
F. Limiting the floor area of Parcels 4-8 to 7,500 square feet and the floor area of Parcel 3 to 10,750
square feet (where a maximum floor area of 15,000 square feet was allowed on each parcel).
Floor area is calculated based on the County's regulations in effect at the time of building permit
application.
11. The BOCC further finds that the conservation development plan for the ranch has helped to preserve
the rural character of Woody Creek and limited the development potential of the ranch to a level
considerable below what would otherwise have been anticipated, and is are consistent with the goals
of the 2016 Woody Creek Caucus Master Plan.
12. The BOCC further finds that for the parcels have been maintained as productive agricultural land and
wildlife habitat while development approvals have been in place, but have not yet been effected.
13. The BOCC further finds that it is appropriate to modify the approvals to conform with the terms and
provisions of the current Code, as specified in the conditions below.
14. The BOCC 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 Pitkin County Board of County
Commissioners that it does hereby approve the Craig Ranch Parcels 3, 5 and 6 Extension of Vested Real

The Woody Creek Caucus District Planning Commission has considered the subject application, and has
previously furnished you their opinion. I am a member of that Commission and was not present at the time the
previous decision was made. I am therefore filing this dissenting opinion, which has the approval of one other
member of the Commission.
We take notice of the fact that the applicants have sterilized hundreds of acres of their land by means of
conservation easements and donations to Pitkin County Open Space; they have entered into agreements to
preserve historic buildings; they have donated a road right of way to the County;
they have taken many actions to meet County requirements and have helped to preserve the rural character of
Pitkin County. They are natives of Pitkin County and have donated many years of service to the County.
We therefore feel that an extension of the vested rights is appropriate. We recognize that three year extensions
are standard in the County, but this is a large rural parcel, which will take some time to develop. If the County
feels that ten years is excessive and creates the wrong precedent, we would advocate at least a six year
extension.

Dear Suzanne,
In reviewing my neighbors' (Michael Craig and Jennifer Craig) application cover letter from Alan Richman I noticed some
errors that I felt were important to correct.
On Page 2 of Alan Richman's letter under Property Description: The Craig Ranch is not located on the east/west sides of
Woody Creek Road but actually the north/south sides of Woody Creek Road with Parcels 1-3 to the north, 4-6 and 7-8 to
the south of the road.
On Page 8 the 3rd paragraph under Response: He incorrectly states that, "Neither of them (Michael Craig or Jennifer
Craig) has yet to receive financial gain from the land use approvals their family sought and obtained." In fact, they have
benefitted financially because Parcel 4 was sold on April 22, 2013, 1 was the purchaser.
On the Craig Ranch Vicinity Map Parcels 7 & 8 are incorrectly labeled in handwritten red ink. Parcel 7 is where 8 is
written while Parcel 8 is the large open parcel to the northwest, south of Woody Creek.
As for the request itself, I have no objections to their request for an increase in the normal time (3 years) extension to 10
years.
Sincerely,
Margaret Reckling

Pitkin County Open Space and Trails (OST) appreciates the opportunity to review the Craig
Ranch Extension of Vested Rights dated June 28, 2018 and offers the following comments as
the plan relates to parks, trails and open space within Pitkin County. The mission of the Pitkin
County Open Space and Trails Board of Trustees is to acquire, preserve, maintain and manage
open space properties for multiple purposes including, but not limited to, recreational, wildlife,
agricultural, scenic and access purposes; and to acquire, preserve, develop, maintain and
manage trails for similar purposes.
OST was involved with the family plan to conserve and restrict development on their parcels in
2007 and was comfortable with the plan. OST is still in support of the development plan since
no changes are proposed and Michael Craig, Elizabeth Tasker, and Woody Creek Farms LLC
have been good stewards of the land and have followed through with the 2007 provisions and
conditions of the original development approvals.
Please contact OST staff if you any questions.

(d) of the Land Use Code.
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 1
The following sections of this application identify the Code provisions applicable to this
procedure and provide responses to the applicable County standards. First, however, a
brief description of the previous approvals granted to the Craig Ranch Subdivision and an
explanation of the reasons the extension request is being made are presented below.
Property Description/Summary of Prior Approvals
The Craig Ranch is a nearly 1,100 acre property that has been owned by the Craig family
since 1964 (over 50 years). As shown on the vicinity map, the Craig Ranch is located on
the east and west sides of Woody Creek Road, approximately 1.5 miles beyond the
intersection of Woody Creek Road with Upper River Road.
The original plat for the Craig Ranch was recorded in Plat Book 68 at Page 62. That plat
split the Ranch into eight (8) parcels, each of which was more than 35 acres in size. As
such the subdivision of the lots did not require approval by Pitkin County.
The plat shows that Parcels 1-3 are located on the east side of Woody Creek Road.
Parcels 4-6 are located on the west side of Woody Creek Road, along the valley floor.
Parcels 7 and 8 are also located on the west side of Woody Creek Road, but are situated
on the west upper mesa (Paradise Mesa), adjacent to White Star Ranch and Star Mesa.
In 2004 the Craig Family submitted a development application to Pitkin County to
establish building envelopes on the subdivision parcels and to obtain development
allotments for those parcels. This was to be accomplished by rezoning approximately
306 acres of the ranch (Parcel 1) to the Rural and Remote zone district. Doing so would
allow the County to issue eight (8) TDR's to the Family (1 TDR per 35 acres) in exchange
for sterilizing the development potential of Parcel 1. The TDR's would then be used to
establish initial development rights or additional floor area allotments for the other 7
parcels to allow 7,500 square feet of floor area to be developed on each parcel. The
Board of County Commissioners granted the requested approvals pursuant to Resolution
144-2004 (see Exhibit #6). The Board also granted a fifteen (15) year vested right to the
project. Those vested rights are scheduled to expire on October 13, 2019.
In 2007, Michael Craig and Elizabeth Tasker, the owners of Parcels 2 and 3, applied for
an amendment to the original approvals. That amendment combined Parcels 2 and 3
into a single parcel with a designated building envelope and allowed for development of
a maximum floor area of 10,750 square feet on the parcel. The BOCC approved the
amendment pursuant to Resolution 043-2007 (see Exhibit #7), with no change to the
expiration date for the vested rights. The amended plat is recorded in Plat Book 85 @
Pages 87-89.
The current status of the Ranch Parcels is shown in Table 2 on the following page.

Some of the key points that are represented in this table are as follows.
• Since the Craig Ranch Subdivision was approved, two of the parcels (Parcel 4 and
Parcel 7) have been sold off and developed.
• Parcel 1 was deed restricted against any development by a Covenant placed on
the property, allowing 8 TDR's to be issued. Parcel 1 remains in the ownership of
the Craig family.
• Parcels 2 and 3 have been combined into a single parcel that is over 300 acres in
size.
It has now been almost 14 years since the development approvals were granted to the
Craig Ranch and the only development which has occurred on the property has been: (1)
the re -development of Parcel 4, including the historic restoration of the original ranch
buildings; and (2) the development of a new residence on Parcel 7. Parcel 8 has recently
gone under contract and the sale is expected to close at about the time this application
has been filed, so development of that parcel is likely to occur at some point in time.
The remaining three parcels (Parcel 2/3, which is owned by Michael Craig, and Parcels 5
and 6, which are owned by Jennifer Craig) have been listed for sale but for a variety of
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 3
reasons, including the economic downturn experienced on a local and national basis
during the great recession, sales have not occurred. As a result there has been very little
visible change to the Craig Ranch since the original subdivision approvals were granted.
Although the vested rights remain in effect until October of 2019, the fact that they are
due to expire complicates any real estate transaction that might be contemplated. A
prospective purchaser of a lot will need time to prepare plans to use the parcel and to
submit those plans to the County in order to obtain a building permit. While it might seem
like there is sufficient time between now and October of 2019 for a new owner of a ranch
parcel to get this done, experience indicates that it can often take a new owner of a large,
complex property in the range of 12-18 months to complete and submit plans for a new
residence. So the pending expiration of these vested rights is likely to become an
increasing factor in the marketing of these properties over the coming months.
Given these circumstances, Michael and Jennifer Craig have determined that they need
to approach the County at this time to request this extension. As will be demonstrated in
the next section of this application, these applicants have diligently followed -through with
the development approvals and satisfied the conditions of approval that are within their
powers to complete at this stage of the process. The community has benefited greatly
from the actions they have taken and Michael and Jennifer have relied upon these
approvals in all of their planning. The applicants respectfully request approval of this
vested rights extension as authorized by the Code and as described below.
Standards for Extension or Reinstatement of Vested Rights
Section 2-20-170 (d) of the Land Use Code authorizes the Board to extend (or to
reinstate) vested property rights for a period of up to three (3) years. The applicants seek
an extension of ten (10) years. The Colorado Statutes authorize an extension of this
length to be granted by the County pursuant to a development agreement between the
applicants and the County. Since there is already a development agreement in place for
this subdivision, the applicants propose to enter into an updated and re -stated
development agreement for these three parcels.
Section 2-20-170 (d) also states that a development which is granted an extension (or a
reinstatement) of vested rights shall conform to the provisions of the Land Use Code in
effect on the date the extension is granted unless the Board explicitly authorizes an
exception from the current Code provisions. The applicants are aware of this provision
and are not requesting any exceptions from the current Code provisions. As such, the
applicants hereby agree that the approved development will conform to the provisions of
the Land Use Code which are in effect at the time the extension is granted.
In deciding whether to grant the extension (or a reinstatement), the Board is required to
consider certain criteria. Following are the applicants' responses to these criteria.
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 4
(a) The applicant's compliance with any conditions requiring performance prior to the
date of application for extension or reinstatement of vested rights.
Response: The applicants have complied with those conditions listed in BOCC
Resolution 144-2004 which apply to these parcels and which Pitkin County required be
accomplished at this stage of the development process. The actions taken by the
applicants to comply with those conditions are as follows:
1. 1041 Hazard Review Site Plans have been prepared, signed and recorded for
Parcels 2 through 8 in Plat Book 79 at Pages 84 through 90 (to comply with
Condition 2.A). An amended plat for the Craig Ranch was also prepared, signed
and recorded in Plat Book 79 at Page 81.
2. A Development Agreement memorializing the conditions of approval was
prepared, signed and recorded as Reception No. 525493 (to comply with
Condition 4.A). Subsequently, an amended Development Agreement reflecting
the merger of and associated limitations on Parcels 2/3 was prepared, signed and
recorded as Reception No. 544769 (to comply with Condition 3 of Resolution 043-
2007).
3. A conservation easement was imposed upon all of the land within Parcel 2/3 that
lies outside of the designated building envelope (nearly 300 acres of land). The
conservation easement, which is recorded as Reception No. 545337, was not a
condition of approval of the merger of these two parcels. Rather, this
conservation easement was donated voluntarily to Pitkin County Open Space
and Trails by Michael Craig and Elizabeth Tasker.
4. A Historic Preservation Covenant was prepared, signed and recorded as
Reception No. 525494. The Covenant ensures that: (a) the historic structures are
prohibited from demolition; (b) the Clavel Homestead on Parcel 8 will be stabilized;
and (c) any alterations or additions to the Historic Structures will be subject to
review by the County's Historic Preservation Officer (to comply with Condition 43).
5. A deed restriction sterilizing Parcel 1 against any development was prepared,
signed and recorded as Reception No. 525496, allowing 8 TDR's to be issued by
the County (to comply with Condition 4.C).
6. A 60' right-of-way for Woody Creek Road was dedicated to the County on the plat
for the use and benefit of the general public. The right-of-way was conveyed to the
County in fee simple by the deed recorded as Reception No. 525492 (to comply
with Condition 4.D).
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 5
The applicants remain committed to complying with all of the other conditions of approval
that apply to the Ranch and will ensure that those conditions are met prior to the issuance
of a building permit for any residence on the remaining developable lots.
(b) 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 applicants have been diligent in pursuing this project. As described
above, all of the plats, agreements, covenants and deed restrictions that were required to
be recorded to document this approval have been prepared, signed and recorded. Given
the fact that these applicants will not be the end users of these parcels, this represents all
of the progress the applicants could have made to pursue the project.
Given the amount of time that has passed since the original application was submitted it
is difficult to accurately enumerate the expenditures the applicants have made on the
various applications. The applicants have reviewed their records and have found
documentation showing they have spent in excess of $350,000 on professional services
and County application fees associated with the project.
(c) 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 received extensive benefits from the applicants which were
granted by them in reliance upon the project approvals. Some of the most notable
benefits the County has received are as follows:
• A 60' right-of-way for Woody Creek Road was dedicated to the County on the plat
and was conveyed to the County in fee simple by a recorded deed.
• A Historic Preservation Covenant was recorded ensuring that the historic
structures on Parcel 4 and Parcel 8 would be preserved. The Covenant also
states that any alterations or additions to these structures will be subject to review
by the County's Historic Preservation Officer.
• The applicants agreed that a road impact fee would be paid by each lot at the time
of building permit issuance. In agreeing to do so the applicants did not ask for the
value of the dedication of Woody Creek Road to offset the amount of those road
impact fees, even though it is common practice for applicants to use such
dedications to reduce the road impact fees that are due to the County.
• The applicants agreed that an affordable housing impact fee would be paid by the
owners of Parcel 6 and Parcel 8 at the time of building permit, even though the
County had not yet adopted an affordable housing impact fee in 2004 when the
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 6
development was approved. As a condition of this extension request, the
applicants acknowledge that the requirement to pay an affordable housing impact
fee will apply to their remaining un -developed parcels (Parcel 213, Parcel 5 and
Parcel 6) and not just to Parcel 6 and Parcel 8.
• The applicants agreed that the floor areas on the Craig Ranch parcels would be
calculated based on the County's regulations in effect at the time of each building
permit application. Several other projects which received long tem vested rights at
about the same time as the Craig Ranch approval sought to vest the floor area
calculation methodology that was in effect at that time. These applicants did not
seek or obtain that right, allowing the County's current rules to apply to all parcels.
Moreover, a series of critical land use actions were taken by the Craig family in reliance
upon the County's development approvals which, taken together, represent a significant
and lasting downzoning of the Craig Ranch. These actions were as follows:
• Over 300 acres of the Ranch were downzoned from RS -20 to Rural and Remote.
• A covenant was placed on the rezoned land sterilizing it against all development.
• Plats were recorded limiting the Ranch to a total of just 6 developable parcels.
• A floor area limitation of 7,500 square feet was placed on Parcels 4 through 8.
Parcel 213 was limited to 10,750 square feet.
• A conservation easement was voluntarily imposed on all of the land outside of the
designated building envelope on Parcel 213 (nearly 300 acres of land).
Before these actions were taken, the Craig Ranch was a single property of nearly 1,100
acres zoned RS -20. It's allowed density was in excess of 50 units (although County
growth management and environmental quality regulations would have made achieving
that many units rather unlikely). Furthermore, County rules would have allowed a
.maximum house size of up to 15,000 square feet in the Woody Creek neighborhood. So
these land use approvals represent a significant reduction in terms of both the
number of dwelling units that could have been developed on the Ranch and the
size of the units that could have been developed on the Ranch.
These actions have helped to preserve the rural character of Woody Creek and limit the
overall development potential of the Ranch to a level that is considerably below what
would have otherwise been anticipated. This is notable because the recently adopted
2016 Woody Creek Caucus Master Plan makes it abundantly clear that Woody Creek
remains committed to limiting its ultimate build out so as to maintain its rural character
and avoid the need for infrastructure improvements that might alter that character. The
actions of the Craig family have* been entirely consistent with this important community
goal and have contributed to the preservation of the rural character of Woody Creek.
Finally, is also important to point out that the County has benefitted from the exemplary
land stewardship that has been practiced by this family for several generations. Carol
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 7
Craig and her children have maintained the Craig Ranch as productive agricultural land,
irrigating the meadows on the west side of the property, including the highly productive
land on Paradise Mesa and the fields along Woody Creek Road. They did not split off
parcels of land over the years for development here and there, instead keeping the
property intact and limiting its development to just that necessary for the family's use of
the historic ranch compound. This has helped to maintain valued wildlife habitat areas,
treasured scenic resources and productive ranchland. It is also notable that Carol was a
long-time volunteer in Pitkin County, serving several terms as a member of the Pitkin
County Planning and Zoning Commission and the Weed Advisory Board. She also
volunteered for several decades at the Hospital and the Thrift Shop.
(d) The needs of the County and the applicant that would be served by approval of the
extension or reinstatement request.
Response: As the responses to the other criteria demonstrate, the needs of the County
have already been well served by the development approvals that were granted to the
Craig Ranch. The development which was permitted is well below that which could have
otherwise been pursued for this property. Despite the fact that this approval was granted
nearly 15 years ago, the land planning techniques employed, including the downzoning to
the Rural and Remote zone and the use of TDB's on-site represent "state-of-the-art"
approaches to rural low density development in Pitkin County. In fact, the Craig Ranch
development model has since been utilized successfully by several other large rural
properties in the County and is generally viewed as an appropriate conservation
subdivision approach by both applicants and the County. So it would not be in anybody's
interest to deny this extension request and effectively say to the applicants "the
development approvals granted in 2004 should be re -considered' .
The applicants are also not in a position where they have additional public benefits that
they could readily offer to the County to obtain this extension. The applicants have
already granted the public a right -of way along Woody Creek Road, agreed to the
preservation of historic structures, agreed to the payment of impact fees that would not
have applied to the project at the time of approval, placed a conservation easement on
significant land areas and reduced the density of the development and the size of the
houses well below what the Code would allow for a property like this. These are
meaningful benefits that the applicants could only offer to the public once, and that offer
was previously made and accepted.
The applicants have spent considerable time and money pursuing this project. Michael
and Jennifer Craig were born in Pitkin County and have lived their entire lives in the
Roaring Fork Valley. Neither of them has yet to receive any financial gain from the land
use approvals their family sought and obtained. It would seem only fair that after all of the
benefits the public has received, that these approvals would be extended for an additional
ten years so these applicants can have more time to sell these properties in the market.
Craig Ranch Subdivision Extension of Vested Rights Page 8
In consideration of all of the actions they have taken and the benefits the community has
received, the applicants respectfully request that the Board grant them a ten year
extension of this approval so they can remain good stewards of this land while the
properties are marketed to potential buyers.
(e) 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.
Conclusion
The above responses and the attached documents provide the information necessary for
the County to consider this application. Please let me know if there is anything else I can
provide to you.
Very truly yours,

serve the building envelopes on Parcels 2 and 3 would encroach on slopes in excess of 30%, which is
prohibited pursuant to sub -section 3-80-050.C. l .c.ii of the Land Use Code ("Code").
8. The Applicant submitted a request for a takings determination pursuant to Sections 3-290, 4-150 and
5-220 of the Land Use Code to determine whether the BOCC's denial of Parcels 2 and 3 constitutes a
taking of private property without just compensation. The BOCC considered the takings request at a
regular meeting on September 22, 2004, at which time further evidence and testimony were presented
with respect to the taking.
9. The BOCC determined that a taking had occurred pursuant to Sections 3-290 and 4-150 of the Code,
based on the following findings:
A. Parcels 2 and 3 cannot be accessed from Woody Creek Road without crossing slopes in excess of
30%; ,
B. The existing ranch roads were legally created and traverse previously disturbed slopes in excess
of 30%;
C. The existing ranch roads do not currently meet the County's minimum standards for width and
grade for driveways, and improvements to meet these minimum standards are required in order to
develop single family residences within the building envelopes;
D. The proposed building envelopes on Parcels 2 and 3 avoid slopes in excess of 30%, the wildfire
hazard is low and can be mitigated, and impacts on wildlife habitat areas can be mitigated.
E. The denial constitutes a taking of all reasonable use and economic return from the su.bject
properties.
10. The BOCC considered the remediation for the takings for Parcels 2 and 3 on October 13, 2004.
11. The BOCC finds that the proposed building envelopes avoid slopes in excess of 30%, that the wildfire
hazard is low and can be mitigated, and that the impacts on wildlife habitat areas can be mitigated.
12. The BOCC further finds the development is consistent with the special review criteria for TDR receiver
sites, and that the proposed development otherwise complies with the applicable provisions ofthe Land
Use Code.
13. The BOCC further finds that there is a development right associated with the East Mesa parcel, based on
the County's ownership of Woody Creek Road and the resulting subdivision of the property by the road;
this development right will be utilized on Parcel 3. In addition, there are existing development rights
associated with Parcel 4 (fathering parcel right associated with Tract 1), Parcel 5 (right associated with
replacement of the existing residence) and Parcel 7 (right associated with a pre -1978 parcel described as
Tract 2).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the BOCC that the denial of the Parcels 2 and 3
of the Craig Ranch constitutes a taking pursuant to Sections 3-290 and 4-150 of the Pitkin County Land
Use Code.
BE fT FiJRTHER RESOLVED by the BOCC that it does hereby remediate the takings for
Parcels 2 and 3 and approve the Craig Ranch Parcels 2-8 1041 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission,

Resolution No. X3 -2007
RECITALS
1. Michael Craig and Lisa Tasker ("Applicant") have applied to the Pitkin County Board of County
Commissioners ("BOCC") to amend the prior approval for Parcels 2 and 3 to merge the two parcels
into one parcel for development purposes. The resulting parcel (Amended Parcel 3) would contain
303 acres and would accommodate one single family residence, a caretaker dwelling unit and
accessory structures with a total allowable floor area of 10,750 square feet. Development would
occur within the previously approved building envelope on Parcel 3.
2. The property is located off of Woody Creek Road, and is described as Parcels 2 and 3, Craig Ranch
Parcels.
3. The parcels are zoned RS -20 and contain 53.9 and 249.1 acres, respectively.
4. The BOCC granted approval of the eight Craig Ranch Parcels pursuant to Resolution No. 144-2004.
This approval established building envelopes on Parcels 2 and 3, designated Parcel 2 a receiver site
for a TDR for an initial development right and established that Parcel 3 could be developed with the
fathering parcel development right associated with the portion of the Craig Ranch located to the
northeast of Woody Creek Road. The approval limited the residences on each of Parcels 2 and 3 to a
maximum of 5,750 square feet of floor area and prohibited caretaker dwelling units on these parcels.
The approval is memorialized in a Development Agreement recorded as reception #525493 (included
in application).
5. The BOCC heard this application at a duly noticed public hearing on May 23, 2007, at which time
evidence and testimony were presented with respect to this application.
6. The BOCC finds that the proposed amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions of the
