PHMn County, Co ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION OF THE PMM COUNTY, COLORADO, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR APPROVING THE PENSCO TRUST C0141PANY ACTIVITY ENVELOPE Administrative Decision Ne.6 -2019 RECITALS 1. Pensca Trust Company ("Appiicanf) has applied to the Community Development Director of Pitkin County ("Director") to establish an activity envelope for a single family residence. 2. The lot contains 2.11 acres and is a nonconforming size lot within the AR -10 zone district. 6 3. The lot is located on Red Tail Lane, and is described as Lot 2, Block f, Filing No. 1, Brush Creek Village Subdivision. 4. The subdivision was platted in 1966; therefore, the lot is exempt from Growth Management up to 5,750 square feet, pursuant to Land Use Code Sec, 6-30-100(6). 5. The Community Development Diteetor approved the same activity envelope, pursuant to Administrative Decision No. 49-2008. The Activity Envelope Plan was recorded in Plat Book 87 at Page 64. The vested rights expired on June 5, 2011. 6. The Hearing Officer approved the same activity envelope, pursuant to Hearing Officer Determination No. 05-2015. The Activity Envelope Plan was recorded in Plat Book 112 at Page 91. The vested rights expired on September 29, 2018. 7. The Director finds that the proposed activity envelope is consistent with the applicable requirements of the Code, as follows: A. The area on the lot with less than 300A slopes is accessible from Red Tail Lane, but is not large enough to develop the allowable floor area and the associated infrastructure, including a driveway and on-site wastewater disposal system. Therefore, slopes in excess of 30% and up to 45% within the activity envelope may be used for development, pursuant to Sec. 7-20-20(c)(2) ofthe Code. A licensed geologist has confirmed that them aro no indications of slope instability. B. The wildfire hazard is rated as severe, and can be mitigated pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 7-20- 60(c) of the Code. C. The lot is within a mapped Mancos shale area, where development is permitted subject to mitigation, pursuant to Sec. 7-20-50(f) of the Code. D. The lot is not within any mapped wildlife habitat areas. APPROVED by the Dircetor, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all successors in interest: 1. The Applicants shall adhere to all material representations made during the application process. 2. The conditions of this Administrative Decision shall replace and supercede the conditions of Hearing Officer Determination No. 05-2015. Administrative Decision No. IS -2019 Page 2 3. Prior to submission of any building or other development permit applications, the Applicant shall be required to submit for approval an application for Site Plan Review, pursuant to Secs. 2-30-20 and 7- 10-50 of the Code. At Site Plan Review, the Activity Envelope may be revised to comply with See. 7- 10-50 of the Code. The Activity Envelope shall be large enough to accommodate the proposed principal use of the property and traditional permitted accessory structures, but shall not be significantly larger than the area needed for such structures and associated infrastructure (Sec. 7-10-50(c)). Consideration shall be given to minimizing impacts on surrounding properties (Sec. 7-(0-50(b)). The Site Plan Review application shall address the following, in addition to the other requirements specified above: A. Demonstrate compliance with the standards in Sec. 7-20-120(d) for development within the Scenic View Protection Area and the rural character guidelines for building location in Sec. 7-20- 120(e) of the Code. B. Demonstrate that the site can accommodate an on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) that complies with the then current OWTS regulations. C. Demonstrate that as much of the floor area as can feasibly be accommodated is placed within the portion of the activity envelope that contains slopes of less than 309'0, pursuant to Sec. 7-20- 20(cx2) of the Code. D. Submit a precise engineer or geologist approved plan for mitigation of development on slopes in excess of 30'/0. The plan shall show the area of disturbed slope, required regrading and the size and location of mitigation devices (if required). Retaining walls shall comply with the guidelines and standards in Sec. 7-20-20(e) of the Code. The plan shall ensure that excavation cuts do not compromise the stability of the road platforms to the south and west. Retaining walls, soil nails, pilings or other stabilization measures shall not encroach into the road rights-of-way. E. Submit a soils report that provides speck design and construction stabilization measures to address potential slope instability and swelling rock/soil characteristics on the lot in order to ensure adequate stability of foundations and other improvements.

Wildfire Report by Eric Peterson DRAWINGS Vicinity Map Activity Envelope Plan (As recorded in Plat Book 112 @ Page 91) PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Application Request This is an application requesting the designation of an activity envelope for the development of a single-family residence and customary accessory uses. The subject property is legally described as Lot 2, Block 6, Filing No. 1, Brush Creek Village Subdivision, The Parcel ID# for this lot is 264321304002. A vicinity map showing the location of the lot within the subdivision is included within this application. The application is being submitted by Pensco Trust Company, which holds title to the property on behalf of Ms. Austine Stitt (hereinafter, "the applicant") who has placed the property in her retirement trust account. A legal description and proof of ownership of the property is provided in the Warranty and Quit Claim Deeds, attached hereto as Exhibit #1. The applicant is being represented by Alan Richman Planning Services, Inc. for this application. A letter from the applicant confirming this arrangement is attached as Exhibit #2. A pre -application conference was held with a representative of the Community Development Department. The Pre -Application Conference Summary issued by the staff (see Exhibit #3) states that the review procedure applicable to this proposal is as follows: Designation of an Activity Envelope, pursuant to Land Use Code Section 7-10-50. The applicant also requests that the designated activity envelope be granted vested rights pursuant to Sec. 2-20-170 of the Pitkin County Land Use Code. The Pre -Application Conference Summary lists the following sections of the Pitkin County Land Use Code that should be addressed by the applicant to designate an Activity Envelope: Section 7-20-10: Site Preparation and Grading Section 7-20-20: Steep and Potentially Unstable Slopes; Section 7-20-30: Water Courses and Drainage; Section 7-20-50: Geologic Hazards (Mancos Shale); Section 7-20-60: Wildfire Hazard; and Section 7-20-70: Wildlife Habitat (no mapped habitat). The following sections of this application identify the provisions of the Land Use Code applicable to this procedure and provide responses to the applicable County standards. First, however, a brief description of the property is presented below. B. Description of Property and Proposed Activity Envelope The subject property is an irregularly-shaped lot that is 2.11 acres in size. This Board - approved lot was created in 1966, when the plat for the Brush Creek Village Subdivision was filed in Plat Book 3, Page 62 of the records of the Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder. The lot is zoned AR -10, making it a non -conforming sized lot of record. A single-family residence is a use allowed by right on a non -conforming sized lot of record. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 1 As shown on the vicinity map, this lot is located on the downhill side Red Tail Lane, a short cul-de-sac located just off of Medicine Bow Road, towards the top of Brush Creek Village. The lot is vacant, without any significant man-made improvements. A topographic and improvement survey of the lot was prepared in support of this application. The survey shows that this lot drops off below (to the east of) Red Tail Lane. There is a relatively narrow, flat bench just below the road, with slopes that are less than 30%. The remainder of the lot is generally steeper, including areas with slopes of 30% to 45% and slopes in excess of 45%. Most of the lot is covered with relatively continuous brushy vegetation. The applicant has carefully considered these conditions in proposing an activity envelope for this lot. First, the lower portion of the property, which is characterized predominantly by slopes greater than 45%, was excluded from the activity envelope, as required by the Land Use Code. This left the upper portion of the lot as the most appropriate location for the envelope. The flat bench that is just below the road is a suitable location for the envelope to be located based on the standards of the Code. However, this narrow bench is not deep enough to allow for development of a house, driveway, and an on-site sewage disposal system. The front yard setback in this area is 30', which takes up a significant portion of the flat area. So this leaves areas of as narrow as 30', ranging up to about 60' in depth, in which to locate a house and associated facilities if the envelope were limited solely to slopes of less than 30%. If the envelope were limited solely to this area, then the resulting house would be built relatively close to Red Tail Lane. Because the envelope would be so narrow, there wouldn't be much opportunity for a house to be stepped along the slope. Instead, the design would likely be more of a traditional two story building located near the top of the lot. This outcome would not be particularly desirable for the neighboring houses on the northern side of the street, whose owners have enjoyed views across this property towards Independence Pass. It would also make it virtually impossible to accommodate on-site sewage disposal, with no obvious location for such a system being present within that envelope configuration. Given these limitations, the envelope must also include lands having a slope of 30% to 45%. Sec. 7-20-20 c.2 of the Land Use Code states that if a parcel contains some areas with slopes of less than 30%, then as much of the floor area as possible shall be located on those slopes. Areas of 30% to 45% may then be used for the remainder of the floor area. The purpose of this language is to ensure that the County's slope development restrictions do not impose a floor area reduction on a property. Therefore, the envelope is also proposed to include the lands immediately below the flat bench which have slopes that are in excess of 30%, but less than 45%. Including these lands in the envelope will provide an area for on-site sewage disposal to be accommodated. It will also provide an opportunity for a future owner of this lot to design a house at site plan review that steps the house down along the slope. This is a typical design solution on steeper lots in Brush Creek Village, including the lot immediately to the east of the subject property. If this design is chosen it will provide the opportunity for some of the mass of the structure to be located below the road, reducing its visibility from both above and below this lot. A geologic report is included in this application (see Exhibit #4) which demonstrates that these steeper slopes are stable and can successfully support the development of a residence. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 2 It is important to point out that this identical activity envelope was previously approved by the County for this lot, first in 2008 and then for a second time in 2015. Approval of the activity envelope was originally granted pursuant to Administrative Decision No. 49- 2008 (see Exhibit #5). The activity envelope plan documenting that approval is recorded in Plat Book 87 @ Page 64. The vested rights associated with the 2008 approval expired on June 5, 2011. Consequently, in 2015, the applicant submitted a second application for activity envelope review in order to obtain new vested rights for the property so the lot could be marketed to potential purchasers. Several neighbors submitted objections to the application, so the activity envelope review was referred to the Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer considered these objections and the staff recommendation of approval and granted approval of the requested envelope pursuant to Hearing Officer Determination No. 05-2015 (see Exhibit #6). The activity envelope plan documenting this approval is recorded in Plat Book 112 @ Page 91. For purposes of this application, a copy of the recorded activity envelope plan has been submitted to illustrate the envelope which is again being proposed. Once the County has taken action on this application an updated activity envelope plan will be prepared for staff review and recording with the County Clerk. The vested rights for the 2015 approval are scheduled to expire on September 29, 2018. Therefore the applicant is submitting a third activity envelope application, seeking approval for the identical activity envelope that was approved in 2008 and 2015. The conformance of the proposed activity envelope with the applicable standards of the Land Use Code is evaluated in the next section of this application. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 3 II. STANDARDS FOR DESIGNATION OF ACTIVITY ENVELOPE Chapter 7 of the Land Use Code establishes the standards related to the quality of development in Pitkin County. Following are the applicant's responses to the applicable standards of that chapter, as specified in the pre -application summary form. A. Site Preparation and Grading (Sec. 7-20-10) (a) Grading and Fill Placement. The applicant agrees that all grading and filling on- site will take place within the activity envelope depicted on the activity envelope plan. (b) Clearing, Grubbing and Vegetation Removal. The applicant agrees that all clearing, grubbing and vegetation removal will take place with the activity envelope depicted on the activity envelope plan. (c) Tree Removal and Mitigation. There are no trees located on this lot that meet the minimum size standards established in this section of the Code. (d) Protection of Natural Terrain. The applicant agrees to follow those design and construction techniques that may be recommended by the County Engineer or the Community Development Director to mitigate any physical or visual damage from the proposed development. This shall include, but not be limited to: ♦ Implementation of a landscape plan using native materials, to be completed no later than the first planting season after construction of the residence; ♦ Removing and saving topsoil prior to any mass grading or excavation, and replacing it following construction to the maximum extent practicable; ♦ Employment of appropriate weed prevention techniques that are consistent with the provisions of the 2006 Revised Pitkin County Weed Management Plan; ♦ Installing utilities within the driveway and avoiding utility cuts along slopes to the extent possible, to minimize damage to the natural environment and scenic quality; and ♦ Following the County's adopted erosion and sedimentation control and stormwater management standards. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 4 B. Steep and Potentially Unstable Slopes (Sec. 7-20-20) Section 7-20-20 of the Land Use Code provides standards for development on slopes of 15% to 30%, 30% to 45%, and 45% and greater. A topographic survey of the property has been conducted, providing an analysis of slopes on the property. It shows that there is a narrow, relatively flat bench just below Red Tail Lane, with slopes that are less than 30%. The remainder of the lot is generally steeper, with slopes of 30% to 45% and slopes in excess of 45%. The flat portion of the property ranges in width from approximately 30' wide in its narrower areas to 60' wide in its broader areas. This area of the property is not adequate in size or configuration to accommodate the development of the residence, driveway, and on-site sewage disposal system. A residence of up to 5,750 sq. ft. would be permitted by right on this property. The maximum allowable house size on this parcel is 15,000 sq. ft., if necessary growth management allocations are obtained. If the applicant were to try to design a house of 5,750 sq. ft. or larger that would be located entirely within the flat area, it would need to be sited just below the road and would more than likely be a narrow, unusually long two story house that would project well above Red Tail Lane. This style of development would have a dramatic impact on the houses behind this lot, who have enjoyed open views towards Independence Pass because the subject lot has been vacant and the neighboring house steps down the hillside and does not project above the road. It would also make the development of this lot more visible from Highway 82 than if the house were to step along the hillside. The applicant does not believe that forcing the house to project above the road is the appropriate development approach for this property. Section 7-20-20 (c) (2) of the Land Use Code contains provisions that address this type of situation. It states that if a parcel contains areas with slopes of less than 30%, but those areas are not large enough to develop the floor area permitted by underlying zoning, then as much of the floor area as can feasibly be accommodated shall be located on the slopes of less than 30%, and the remaining floor area may be located on slopes of 30% to 45%. Development on slopes in excess of 45% is not permitted by this provision. The activity envelope which the applicant proposes would include the slopes of 30% to 45% that are immediately south of the flat bench. Adding these slopes to the flat bench allows an envelope to be drawn that is appropriately shaped to accommodate a residence of the size allowed in the AR -10 zone district. At the time of site plan review, the applicant will demonstrate that as much of the floor area as can feasibly be accommodated has been placed on the flat bench. One possible site plan for the property would place the upper story of the house in the flat area and then step the house down along the slope, as has occurred on many other sites in Brush Creek Village. The applicant would need to determine whether the on- site sewage disposal system can be located on the upper bench (which would likely mean that a system which pumps sewage up from the residence would be utilized). If this proves not to be feasible or practical, then the sewage disposal system would most likely be located below the residence, but would still be within the proposed activity envelope. The standards for review of development on slopes of 30% to 45%, as found in Section 7-20-20 (c) (1) are as follows: Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 5 (a) An engineer or geologist licensed in the State of Colorado shall be required to demonstrate that the site can be engineered so that there is no hazard posed by the location of development on such slopes. Response: Exhibit #4 is a report prepared by Bruce A. Collins, Ph.D., a licensed geologist. Mr. Collins has prepared a comprehensive analysis of geologic conditions on this lot and has made recommendations as to how development on the site should be designed. According to Mr. Collins, there are steep and potentially unstable slopes of greater than 30% on the site. He concludes, however, that: "There are no indications of slope instability. The general topography and slope conditions of the lot are similar to much of the rest of Brush Creek Village and excavation, construction and grading techniques suitable for the site are well known." The specific design measures recommended to address this hazard are described in the response to standard (c), below. Please note that Mr. Collins has also identified the presence of Mancos Shale on the property. Responses to the standards for development in such areas can be found in the section of this application addressing other geologic hazards. (b) To the extent possible, the development shall be designed so as to: avoid adding water to the site that would cause decreased stability, avoid removing the toe of the slope without mechanical support, avoid increasing the weight load on the top of the slope; re -contour disturbed slopes so they can be re -vegetated; avoid steepening of existing slopes. Response: The applicant agrees to comply with these requirements. (c) Any development approved pursuant to this section shall be conditioned upon compliance with the engineer or geologist's recommended mitigation measures. Response: The recommendations contained in the Collins report can be summarized as follows: 1. Sufficient soil testing should be performed to identify any slip planes in the Mancos Shale and to ensure adequate stability of foundations, including anchoring to competent bedrock to the extent necessary. 2. Foundations facing up-slope should be designed and constructed as retaining walls. 3. All excavations and fills for utilities, driveways, landscaping, etc. that are not graded back to at least 3:1 should be mechanically supported. Final grading to 4:1 is strongly encouraged. 4. Excavated materials should be well compacted, graded, and drained to avoid increasing instability. 5. Final landscaping should be limited to native species that do not require supplemental irrigation. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 6 6. Installation of water features on and near slopes is discouraged. If such features are installed, they must be sealed against leakage and routinely inspected. The applicant agrees to comply with these recommendations in the development of this lot. (d) A precise engineer or geologist approved mitigation plan shall be required that shows the area of disturbed slope, any re -grading required and the exact size and location of all mitigation devices. Any development approved pursuant to this section shall be conditioned upon compliance with the engineer or geologist's recommended mitigation measures. Response: The precise mitigation plan will be submitted at the time of site plan review. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 7 C. Water Courses and Drainage (Sec. 7-20-30) (b) Encroachment or Channeling. No encroachment or channeling activities are proposed in any water course. (c) Drainage. The applicant agrees to submit a drainage plan at the time of site plan review demonstrating how the proposed development will comply with the County's stormwater management standards. (d) Groundwater. No activities are proposed that would interfere with groundwater recharge or pollute groundwater. No contaminants will be introduced to groundwater as a result of the proposed development. (e) Irrigated Areas. There are no irrigated areas on the property that would be affected by the proposed development. No impacts on irrigation practices will occur. (f} Irrigation Ditches. The will be no impacts to irrigation ditches as a result of the proposed development. (g) Sedimentation. The applicant agrees to submit an erosion control plan at the time of site plan review, demonstrating how the proposed development will comply with the County's standards for controlling sedimentation. (h) Water Quality. The proposed development will be in compliance with the County's adopted stream setbacks. The applicant agrees to comply with any federal or state statutes concerning the protection or enhancement of water quality that apply to the proposed development. (i) Efficient Water Use. The applicant will comply with this standard. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 8 D. Geologic Hazards (Sec. 7-20-50) According to the County's geologic hazard maps, Mancos Shale is mapped as shallow bedrock beneath the property. Pitkin County permits development activities to occur within a Mancos Shale area if they comply with the following standards: (1) Include design and construction stabilization and maintenance measures approved by a qualified professional geologist or engineer (licensed in the State of Colorado). (2) Are based on an evaluation of the development's effect on slope stability and shrink -swell properties. Response: The geologic report prepared by Bruce A. Collins (see Exhibit #4) recognizes the need for site specific soil testing to be accomplished to fully assess the sub -surface conditions on the site, including the shrink -swell characteristics, and to recommend specific design and construction stabilization measures for foundations, utilities and other improvements. The applicant agrees to submit a soils report at the time of site plan review that specifies the recommended design and construction stabilization measures and to comply with the recommendations contained in that report. (3) Are designed to provide adequate surface drainage. (4) Avoid concentrated runoff from impervious surfaces into natural drainages unless it is demonstrated that there will be no adverse effects. Response: The applicant agrees to provide for adequate surface drainage and to avoid concentrating runoff into natural drainages. As stated above, a drainage plan will be submitted at the time of site plan review demonstrating how the proposed development will comply with the County's stormwater management standards. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 9 E. Wildfire Hazards (Sec. 7-20-6O) During the pre -application conference with staff, the applicant was informed that the County's wildfire hazard maps designate this site as being in a wildfire hazard area. A site visit was conducted with Eric Petterson, one of the County's designated wildfire experts. The purpose of the site visit was to evaluate the wildfire hazard present on the property and to identify the appropriate mitigation strategy for its development. A letter from Mr. Petterson summarizing his conclusions from this site visit and providing his recommendations for wildfire mitigation is included as Exhibit #7. Based on his site visit, Mr. Petterson has confirmed that the proposed building envelope is located in an area that is subject to a high (severe) degree of wildfire hazard due to the fact that slopes on the property are generally greater than 20% and there are continuous, brushy fuels on the property. The mitigation standards for development in wildfire hazard areas are found in Section 7-20-60 of the Land Use Code. Following are the applicant's responses to these standards. (1) Defensible Space (a) Brush, debris, and non -ornamental vegetation shall be removed within a minimum ten (10) foot perimeter around the structure. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement. (b) Vegetation shall be reduced to break up the vertical and horizontal continuity of the fuels a minimum of a thirty (30) foot perimeter around a structure built on flat ground. Response: Due to the slopes on the property, Mr. Petterson has recommended that the vegetation reduction be extended up to a 40' perimeter and to a 60' perimeter below the structure, unless limited by lot boundaries. The applicant will comply with this recommendation. (c) Spacing between clumps of brush and vegetation within the thirty (30) foot perimeter shall be a minimum of two (2) times the height of the fuel. Maximum diameter of the clumps shall be two (2) times the height of the fuel. All measurements shall be from the edges of the crowns of the fuel. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement within the recommended extended perimeter. (d) All branches from trees and brush within the thirty (30) foot perimeters shall be pruned to a height of 10 feet (10) above the ground, and removal of ladder fuels from around trees and brush. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement within the recommended extended perimeter. (e) Tree crown separation within the thirty (30) foot perimeters shall have a minimum of ten (10) feet between the edges of the crowns, except for mature stands of Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 10 Aspen trees where ladder fuels have been removed. In areas of Aspen re- generation, understory shrubs and down and dead materials shall be removed. Response: There are no existing trees on the property. However, the applicant will comply with this requirement as it may apply to any new trees that are planted on the property. (� All branches that extend over the roof eaves shall be trimmed and all branches within fifteen (15) feet of the chimneys shall be removed. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement. (g) The density of fuels up to a one hundred (100) foot perimeter of the structures shall be reduced where natural reduction has not already occurred. Response: Mr. Petterson has not recommended that this standard apply to this property. (h) All deadfall up to a one hundred (100) foot perimeter shall be removed. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement. (i) The property owner shall be responsible for the continued maintenance of the defensible space vegetation requirements. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement. 6) No new conifer trees shall be planted within ten (10) feet of a residence. Response: Mr. Petterson recommends increasing the separation distance to 20' and limiting the number of conifer trees in this area to just 3. He also recommends that no conifer trees be planted below the residence. The applicant will comply with these recommendations. (k) No flammable mulches shall be placed within two (2) feet of a residence. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement. 2. Access (a) Access roads and driveways shall be built to County standards, however, these standards may be increased to mitigate wildfire hazards based on comments provide by the Colorado State Forest Service, the Sheriffs Department, local fire protection districts, and/or a person approved by the County as an expert in wildfire areas and mitigation. Where feasible, looped routes of access/egress to a public road shall be incorporated in the design of a proposed development. Looped routes of access/egress is defined as two (2) or more dedicated access roads to the main artery/highway for widely separated ingress/egress; looped drives with one entrance point or divided single entrances do not satisfy this condition. Where this is not feasible, the Community Development Department may approve vehicle turnaround areas a maximum of seven hundred -fifty feet (750) apart, installed between the road intersection and its terminus. Turnaround areas shall be the same standard as cul-de-sac turnaround pads; these may be incorporated in the proposed driveway entries. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 11 Response: At the time of site plan review, a driveway design will be proposed that conforms to County road standards. (b) New dead-end streets (no cul-de-sacs) shall not be permitted, except for cul-de- sacs and other turnarounds accepted by the applicable local fire district. Response: No new streets are proposed. (c) Cul-de-sac turnaround pads shall have a minimum of a thirty foot (30) drivable surface inside turning radius, or a hammerhead or other T -tum area acceptable to the applicable local fire district. Response: The applicant will consult with the Aspen Fire Protection District prior to site plan review. A fire truck turn around area that complies with AFPD standards will be accommodated within the activity envelope. (d) New driveways and access roadways shall enter the roadway at a ninety (90) degree angle for the first twenty-five feet (25) of the driveway. Response: The driveway will be designed to comply with this standard. At least two potential areas for a driveway intersection have been incorporated within the proposed activity envelope. (e) Fuel breaks, as recommended by a wildfire expert approved by the County, may be incorporated into the design of access roads or driveways. Response: This is not a subdivision application. 8. Water Supply for Fire Safety (a) When access to a public or private pressurized water system is not available, or if it is necessary to augment the fire protection water systems, private ponds may be used if approved by the Community Development Department and the Fire District Response: Brush Creek Village is served by a public pressurized water system. A fire hydrant is located within 100' of the lot, along Medicine Bow Road. (b) Any fire department recommendation for individual structure water supply and storage shall be accessible to fire department vehicles from the exterior of the structure through a Fire Department approved mechanism (such as a fire hydrant). The amount of storage capacity shall be determined by the fire protection district, with a minimum of one thousand (9, 000) gallon storage capacity per structure. Response: The applicant will comply with the applicable requirements of the AFPD. (c) Regardless of size, all structures where humans congregate regularly (including detached garages and horse barns) that are located within areas identified as containing "C - Severe Hazard: Trees", or 'X - Severe Hazard: Brush" wildfire hazard shall be required to install in-house sprinkler systems which meet the standards of the local fire protection district and the adopted building code. Response: The applicant will comply with this requirement. Pensco Trust Company (Stitt) Activity Envelope Plan Page 12 (d) All structures greater than five thousand (5, 000) square feet in size shall be required to install in-house sprinkler systems that meet the standards of the local fire protection district and the adopted building code. At building permit submittal, the local fire protection district may require smaller structures to be sprinkled due to hazard considerations, emergency access difficulties and lack of proximity to fire protection services.

Lot 2 is approximately 1.7 road miles from Colorado Highway 82 via Brush Creek Road 0.2 miles to Medicine Bow Road and 1.5 miles up Medicine Bow to the site. The center of the lot is 5.85 miles northwest of the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, on the southeast boundary of the Woody r` Creek 7.5' quadrangle, in the SW'izSW'iz of section 21, Township 9 South, Range 85 West, 6th P.M., in the southeast corner of the Mancos Shale hill country between Brush Creek and West Sopris Creek, north -central Pitkin County. "'S According to the plan provided,2 Lot 2 consists of modest to steep slopes down to the east from the access roads, overlooking the Roaring Fork Valley in the area of the confluences of Brush Creek and Woody Creek with the Roaring Fork River. Elevations on the lot range from approximately 7,948 ft along the east boundary to 8,084 along the southwest boundary at the intersection of Medicine Bow Road And Red Tail Lane for relief on the property of 136 ft. Vegetation consists of a Gambel oak — serviceberry assemblage that appears to have been trimmed for fire -control purposes. Geologic Setting. The area is included in the "S" — Mancos Shale hazard category on Pitkin County's map of Potential Geologic Hazards (1974). The lot itself is mapped in an area of slopes varying from less than 15% to over 45%, with the proposed activity envelope almost entirely less I All distances are straight-line and measured from the approximate center of the conceptual activity envelope unless otherwise noted. Z Rocky Mountain Surveying, File No. 07569, dated 11/2007. Site plat with 2 -ft contours, computer-generated slopes, and conceptual activity envelope (working drawing). 3 Colorado State University, 1974, Potential geologic hazards, Pitkin County, Colorado, Lower Roaring Fork Valley: CSU Environmental Resources Analysis, map scale 1:31,680 (referenced hereinafter as "PitCo maps"). PAGE 2 than 45%. The area is mapped geologically at a scale of 1:24000 by Freeman (19724) as lying in modestly faulted Upper Cretaceous Mancos Shale terrane above the alluvial valley floors of Brush Creek to the south and the Roaring Fork River to the east, less than a mile west and southwest of the Castle Creek fault zone. Both Freeman and Bryant (1972) project two splits of a north -south normal fault west of the lot, the closer 445 ft west with the splits 270 ft apart. Combined displacement down to the west is estimated at 200 ft from cross-section A -A' on Bryant's map. Unconsolidated surficial materials on the lot are not mapped by Freeman (1972). The Natural Resources Conservation Service maps soils on the lot as "Anvik-Skylick-Sligting association, 10- 25%slopes."s Bedrock beneath to property is mapped by Freeman as his unit Km, Mancos Shale, main body; Bryant (1972) maps the same rocks immediately south as his unit Kmu, Mancos Shale Lipper shale member. The descriptions are of course very similar but contain subtle differences that may be significant: Freeman (1972) maps the actual site in the southern Woody Creek quadrangle as: Mancos Shale, main body: map symbol Km. Dark -gray shale and silty to sandy shale; minor very thin bentonite beds; zones of concretions common, especially in lower two-thirds of unit. About 4,750 feet thick. Bryant (1972) maps the same rocks in the northernmost Highland Peak quad 150 ft south as: Mancos Shale, upper shale member: map symbol Kmu. Dark gray shale and silty shale with a few lenticular beds of fine- to medium -grained olive -gray sandstone. Some thin -bedded' shaly limestone in lower part. About 4,000 feet preserved in quadrangle. All design engineering as well as construction should take into account the general descriptions of these units as well as specific recommendations given below. The mapped faulting in the area is mostly if not entirely of Laramide age.' There has been no known movement along these faults in millions ofyears, although there has been both reactivated and new faulting accompanying minor igneous activity and solution collapses in the region well into the Pleistocene (Laing and Lampiris, 1980; Streufert, et al., 1998'), and earthquakes of up to 4 Freeman, V.L., 1972, Geologic map of the Woody Creek quadrangle, Pitkin and Eagle Counties, Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ -967. See also immediately adjacent Bryant, B., 1972, Geologic map of the Highland Peak quadrangle, Pitkin County, Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ -932. 5 httpJ/websoilsurvey.nres.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx 6 The Laramide period of mountain building, which produced the basic structure of today's Rocky Mountains, affected the area between 55 and 65 million years ago. Faults attributed in whole or in part to solution collapse of the Carbondale collapse center to the west are thought to have last moved between 14 and 34 million years ago, and minor reactivation of older faults occurred during the volcanic episodes that resulted in the Basalt Mountain lava flows (8.8 to 7.9 mya) and a small flow west of Woody Creek (1.5 mya); the latter originated from the Castle Creek fault zone. 7 Laing, D., and Lampiris, N., 1980, Aspen high country - the geology: Thunder River Press, Aspen, 132 p.; Streufert, R.K., Widmann, B.L., and Kirkham, R.M., 1998, Geologic map of the Basalt quadrangle, Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties, Colorado: Colorado Geological Survey Open File Report OFR 98-1, 18 p. A P Ok Ok P e� P4 94 i4 PAGE 3 Mercalli Intensity VI' have occurred in the Aspen—Carbondale area within the last few decades. In most cases epicenters are unknown but thought to be well to the south of the property, in the heart of the West Elk Mountains. Dips in the area are in the 10° to 20° to the north to north- northeast, or at close to 90° to the easterly surface slope. _7-20-020. Steep and Potentially Unstable Slopes. Slopes on Lot 2 vary from a limited area of less than (<) 15% slopes in the north corner to significant areas of greater than (>) 45% slopes in the eastern, central, and southern portions. The conceptual activity envelope is limited to an area along the western side and into the northern part in which slopes are for the most part between 15% and 40%, along with the aforementioned area of <15% slopes and two very small slivers of >45% slopes. There are no indications of slope instability. The general topography and slope conditions of the lot are similar to much of the rest of Brush Creek Village and excavation, construction, and grading techniques suitable for the terrain are well known. In general, sufficient soil testing should be performed to identify slip planes in the Mancos Shale, if any, and to assure adequate stability of foundations, including anchoring to competent bedrock as necessary. Foundations facing up slope should be designed and constructed as retaining walls, and all excavations and fills for utilities, driveways, landscaping, etc., not graded back to at least 3h:1v mechanically supported as well (final grading to 4h:1 v is strongly encouraged, §7-20-20(e)(4)(a)). As is the case with all slope construction, excavated materials should be well compacted, graded, and drained to avoid increasing instability (§70-20-020(c)(1)(c)). Disturbed areas should be revegetated as soon as possible; final landscaping should be limited to native species that do not require supplemental irrigation. "Water features" on and near steep slopes are discouraged, but if installed must be thoroughly sealed against and routinely inspected for leakage. § 7-20-050(a). Avalanche Areas. The property is not mapped in a snow or debris avalanche area (PitCo maps; Olander, et al., 1974). Avalanche hazard recognition and mitigation are specialties in which 1 do not claim expertise, and if a more accurate assessment of the risk and recommendations for mitigation are desired you should seek the opinion of a qualified professional in the field. § 7-20-050(b). Landslide Areas. Lot 2 is not mapped in a potential landslide area (PitCo maps; Olander, et al., 1974). A small landslide developed in the 1990s in the lower northeastern portion of Brush Creek Village, in response to heavy snowmelt and local groundwater conditions not anticipated in the upper part of the development that includes Lot 2. There is some indication that the slide was a reactivation of an existing feature, and in that regard, although there is no indication of an old slide in the area of Lot 2, all soil testing and excavation work performed on the property should be routinely monitored for slip planes or other indication of movement, and if observed adequate precautions taken to assure stability of structures and other improvements. 7-20-050(c). Rockfall Areas. The area is not mapped as a rockfall hazard zone (PitCo maps; Olander, et al., 1974). § 3-80-050-(d). Alluvial Fan Hazard. The area is not mapped as an alluvial fan or associated debris flow hazard zone (PitCo maps; Olander, et al., 1974). 8 Roughly equivalent to magnitude 5 on the more -familiar Richter scale. Earthquakes of this magnitude are felt by all, with damage from minor to moderate. PAGE 4 - 7-20-050(c). Talus Slope. The area is not mapped as a talus slope hazard zone (PitCo maps; Olander, et al., 1974). 4 7-20-050(,1. Mancos Shale. Mancos Shale is mapped as shallow bedrock beneath the property by Freeman (1972) and as a recognized geologic hazard by Pitkin County (PitCo maps) and Oleandar, et al. (1974). Specific hazards associated with the Mancos are impermeability, instability due to slippage along clay -coated bedding planes, and swelling rock and soil due to bentonite and other swelling clay minerals in the shale. Impermeability issues can be addressed through recognition and subsequent design and construction of foundations, utility installations, and drainage systems themselves. Adequate drainage is also important in avoiding creating or increasing instability. Freeman describes the unit underlying the lot as containing thin bentonite beds, which if present can significantly exacerbate instability hazards; Bryant (1972), omits mention of bentonite from his description of the same rocks immediately south, Soil testing should be sufficiently thorough to identify bentonitic clay layers, and structural designs modified as necessary if found. Specifically with regard to Lot 2, the relatively steep dip of the Mancos apparently angled 45° to 90° to the surface slope should aid in mitigating potential instability problems and should be taken advantage of to the extent possible in site planning. Site-specific soil testing should be adequate to fully assess the swelling rock/soil characteristics on Lot 2 and excavations, foundations, utility installations, and other improvements designed and constructed accordingly. 7-20-050(g). Faults. As noted, Lot 2 is located in a moderately faulted area not far from the Castle Creek fault zone, with two faults mapped between 445 and 715 ft west. While there has been no known movement on any of these faults in historic time and probably none for thousands or even millions of years, earthquakes of Lip to Mercalli Intensity VI have occurred in the Aspen—Carbondale area within the last few decades. Basic USGS shake data for the site at 39.250547° north latitude, 106.895240° west longitude, are as follows: Period Sa (sec) (g) 0.2 0.360 SS, Site Class B 1.0 0.076 S,, Site Class B Detailed IBC design criteria are available at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/hazmaps/design/. § 7-20-050L). Expansive Soil and Rock. See Mancos Shale discussion, § 7-20-050(0, above. § 7-20-050-(i). Ground Subsidence Hazard. There is a potential for voids created in surficial deposits by piping, hydrocompaction, or differential compaction. Detection of such voids can be accomplished by observation during routine soil testing and excavating activities. Mancos Shale bedrock is not conducive to the development of solution voids. There are no known mine workings or other man-made subsidence hazards in the area. As always, excavations for any purpose should be properly backfilled and compacted to prevent subsidence. General. The materials present in both Mancos Shale bedrock and soils developed from it beneath the activity envelope are not known to contain radioactive minerals in the area; nevertheless all inhabited spaces should be designed and constructed to prevent the accumulation of radon as well as other noxious or toxic gases. Domestic water will be provided through a community water PAGE 5 system, with waste disposal via ISDS; the presence of shallow Mancos Shale bedrock and the steep slopes of the property will require site-specific design and installation by a qualified professional in the field, and the Pitkin County Sanitation Engineer should be consulted for specific recommendations as well. As always, irrespective of other recommendations contained herein, all excavations, roadways, foundations, utility installations, final grading, landscaping, and other improvements should be designed and constructed in such a manner as to convey water, including snowmelt, away from the improvements and properly integrated into both constructed 1 and natural drainage systems as appropriate. W I .19 .49 Conclusions. Steep slope and Mancos Shale hazards are present on Lot 2, Brush Creek Village Block 6. These hazards can be addressed by proper soil testing and foundation design and construction as well as the installation adequate drainage systems and of retaining walls or other structures as necessary to support excavations, cuts, and fills. These and other geologic hazards affecting Lot 2 are not significantly different from those affecting many other sites in Pitkin County previously approved for development, and design and construction techniques suitable for such conditions are well-established. The property is in a geologically sensitive area, but with mitigation the hazards to which the property is exposed can be minimized; nothing in this report, however, should be construed as suggesting that mitigations recommended herein can or will eliminate such hazards in their entirety.

EXHIBIT #5 ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, APPROVING THE STITTACTIVITY ENVELOPE Administrative Decision No. 49 RECITALS 1. NTC & Co. FBO Austine Stitt IRA Rollover ("Applicant') has applied to the Community Development Director of Pitkin County ("Director") to establish an activity envelope for a single family residence. 2. The lot contains 2.11 acres and is a nonconforming size lot within the AR -10 zone district. 3. The lot is located on Red Tail Lane, and is described as Lot 2, Block 1, Filing No. 1, Brush Creek Village Subdivision. 4. The subdivision was platted in 1966; therefore, the lot is exempt from Growth Management up to 5,750 square feet, pursuant to Land Use Code Sec. 6-30-100(b). 5. The Director finds that the proposed activity envelope is consistent with the applicable requirements of the Code, as follows: A. The area on the lot with less than 30% slopes is not large enough to develop the allowable floor area and the associated infrastructure, including a driveway and on-site wastewater disposal system; therefore, it is appropriate to includes slopes in excess of 30% and up to 45% within the activity envelope, pursuant to Sec. 7-20-20(c)(2) of the Code. A licensed geologist has confirmed that there are no indications of slope instability. B. The wildfire hazard is rated as severe, and can be mitigated pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 7-20- 60(c) of the Code. C. The lot is within a mapped Mancos shale area, where development is permitted subject to mitigation, pursuant to Sec. 7-20-50(f) of the Code. D. The lot is not within any mapped wildlife habitat areas. APPROVED by the Director, subject to the following conditions, which shall run with the land and be binding on all successors in interest: 1.

Box 3613 Aspen CO, 81612 1 RE: Lot 2, Block 6, Brush Creek Village Filing #1 (Stitt Property) 1 Dear Mr. Richman Please submit this letter with your application to Pitkin County. I visited the Stitt Property in Pitkin County, on December 4, 2007 with the owner's representative Mr. Alan Richman. Mr. Richman is preparing a hazard assessment for establishment of an activity envelope. The entirety of the lot is considered "High Hazard". 1 The topography around the homesite can be characterized as a varied slope generally exceeding 20%, with some smaller areas with less than 20% slope, with continuous brushy fuels. There are no areas within the Lot that are not Severe Hazard areas. Therefore, the i following Mitigations are recommended for new construction activities: I I. Defensible Space As during construction most of the vegetation within at least 20' of the structure Wll likely be removed, re -planting of vegetation must adhere to the following: 1. Brush, debris and non -ornamental vegetation shall be removed and not replaced within a ten -foot perimeter around all structures. 9 Clumps of brush and vegetation up to a forty -foot (40') perimeter (or to lot boundaries) shall be a minimum of two (2) times the height of the fuel. Maximum diameter of the clumps shall be YZ the height of the fuel. All measurements shall be from the edges of the crowds of the fuel. Below the structure, over lot thinning shall continue to 60' from occupied buildings. Within this 40' to 60', thin shrubs to 30% of original canopy closure, with no clumps being larger than approximately 25' in diameter. Thinning can be done in an aesthetically pleasing manner. All branches from trees and brush within the 40' perimeter shall be pruned to a height of 10 feet above the ground w th removal of ladder 0222 BOBCAT LANE • REDSTONE • COLORADO • 81623 PHONE/FAX: (970) 963-2190 • CELL: (970) 309-4454 EMAIL: ERIC.PETTERSON@STARBAND.NET fuels from around trees and brush. 4. No more than 3 coniferous trees may be planted within 30' of a structure.

City Hall:130 South Galena Street Aspen, CO 81611 Attn: Suzanne Wolf Re: Pensco Trust Company Activity Envelope Review (PID 2643-213-04-002; Case P075-18) Dear Pitkin County Community Development Department, This letter is regarding the property located on Red Tail Lane described as lot 2 block 6 filing Brush Creek subdivision. Proposed by Pensco Trust company. We write in connection with the above planning project, our house is directly across the street. We understand that at this point they are looking for approval forjust an activity envelope, but we feel it necessary to point out our concerns regarding the placement of the structure's footprint. Brush Creek is a wonderful place to live, and many of the homes in the neighborhood have beautiful mountain views. We do not begrudge anyone the opportunity to develop the land they own. Our problem arises when those developments interfere with the value of our property. We are concerned with the height of a 5,000 square foot building on such a small buildable land area. The envelope area is quite long and narrow. We are troubled that in order to fit such a large home on that property, it will be very tall, obstructing our neighbor's and our views; therefore lowering our property values. It may also violate the Pitkin County's Ridgeline and Scenic foreground land use code. According to section 7-20-120 Scenic view protection: ...designed to minimize the visual impact of new development (including expansions to existing structures) when viewed from designated road corridors, as well as preserve the rural character of all Rural Areas of the county...... Additional points from the code state: • To maintain a natural ridgeline silhouette against the sky and to steer development away from the ridgelines and skylines throughout the county as viewed from public roadway corridors. To insure that new development is designed and located to complement the natural landscape and the natural features within the public view plane in order to achieve an aesthetically pleasing, rural atmosphere. To reduce visual damage to the natural landforms and views throughout the county. This size of home would not fit harmoniously within our existing neighborhood. We have spoken with other neighbors, and they also share our concerns. 1 We would also like to bring to your attention the By Laws of Brush Creek Homeowners Association. It states that "...it is strongly recommended that a preliminary design conference be scheduled... so that members of committee and neighbors can study the siting and height of the structures... to make sure that the proposed structure will fit properly on the site and relate harmoniously to neighboring structures." Plans submitted should include: • Site plan with building footprints, landscaping, access and utilities. • Exterior elevations and building sections showing heights of each part of the building We would really like to ensure that we have a chance to review any future building plans. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our concerns, If this application is to be decided by the Pitkin County Board, please take this as notice as we would like to speak at the meeting of the committee at which this application is expected to be decided. Please le�us-lyiow as soon as possible the date of the meeting.

Schiles@pitkincounty.com, Suzanne Wolff <suzanne.wolff@pitkincounty. com>,bugzy@rof.net, Lawson@brownwillslaw.com,pretty_tree@hot: Richman <arichman@sopris.net> Date Sent: Friday, November 16, 2018 9:56:39 AM GMT -07:00 Date Received: Friday, November 16, 2018 9:56:41 AM GMT -07:00 Good morning Bonnie- On behalf of Brush Creek Metro District and as their manager I have been asked to forward comments on the Pensco application, case P-075-18. We understand that the request is for an extension of vested rights for the activity envelope on the parcel located on Red Tail/Medicine Bow roads in Brush Creek subdivision. The request is accompanied by a geological hazards report that speaks to the soil conditions in the area. Pitkin County is the owner of the rights of way in Brush Creek. The Metro district is responsible for the roads and also owns the waterlines in the roadway. Our concern is the close proximity of the building site to the road platforms to to the south and west of the activity envelope. Our concern is related to the excavation in the envelope and the potential of planned stabilization of steep slopes that may negatively impact the road platform and utilities in the future. We are requesting further clarification of the activity envelope on the site by physical means, ie staking corners We are also requesting that excavation cuts on steep slopes that may compromise a stable road platform be prohibited. Further we request that any encroachment into the ROW /road prism by retaining walls, soil nails, pilings or other means be prohibited. The applicant has met with neighbors and there are other concerns that I believe they will address independently. Thanks for your attention.
