RESOLUTION GRANTING APPROVAL FOR THE VAGNEUR (WESTERN
ADVENTURES) SPECIAL REVIEW FOR SNOWMOBILE OPERATIONS -
MOTION TO CONTINUE TO OCTOBER 12, 2005 - STAFF PLANNER:
LANCE CLARKE, ASSISTANT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 5 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
Applicant: Howard Vagneur
Applicant's Request: A 10 year renewal of a special use approval for a
snowmobile operation stated on United States Forest Service (USFS) lands in
Lenado and Kobey Park
Lance Clarke gave a presentation on this application as summarized in his
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Howard Vagneur requested that he be given approval (by the county) for an
additional 500 extra days of operation (to be used on an as needed basis). He
explained that the Forest Service as indicated that they would issue 400 service
days for a total of 1500 days. A copy of his letter requesting these additional
days is contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Commissioner Hatfield pointed out the language in Condition No. 6, which says
"shall not exceed five days" and then it goes on to say how you "may request five
additional days".
Lance Clarke clarified that there have been a couple of instances when Mr.
Vagneur had to request use of the five additional days.
Commissioner Owsley asked if there is a review process for the other
snowmobile operations (T-Lazy 7 and Blazing Paddles).
Mr. Clarke replied that there are probably a dozen or more Forest Service
permittees who have never come in to be permitted by Pitkin County, in fact,
Howard is the only Forest Service permittee who has a permit with Pitkin County.
He explained that staff has always been told not to press the issue unless they
have complaints as they did with Howard's snowmobile operation.
Commissioner Ireland referred to Condition No. 12 regarding housing impact
fees. He questioned why there would be housing impact fees on this operation
and not on other operations. Additionally, he questioned where the number of
nine employees came from.
Mr. Clarke responded that the nine employees number is the base line number of
employees he had when he came in for a permit and at the time, the board was
concerned about any expansion of employment and added this condition to give
staff the opportunity to get mitigation if the number of employees exceeded nine.
Commissioner Ireland suggested, and the board concurred that the potential
housing impact fees should be deleted from Condition No. 12.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 6 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
A discussion ensued with respect to whether or not the applicant should continue
to come in for a yearly view. It was agreed by the majority of the members that
the application should be placed on a consent agenda yearly.
Chairperson Clapper opened the hearing to public comment.
Frank Peters and Daniel Delano appeared before the board to voice their
concerns with respect to the Western Adventures operations. A copy of their
written comments is attached to the end of the packet for this meeting, under
additional exhibits.
After a discussion with respect to concerns voiced by Mr. Peters and Mr. Delano
associated with the impacts and additionally, the forest service permit language,
it was the consensus of commission members that this application should be
tabled pending having a representative of the forest service in attendance.
Heather Morse voiced her concern with respect to impacts of the snowmobile
operation on the roads in the Lenado area.
Commissioner Hatfield requested a condition requiring an annual public
hearing and that Condition No. 6 be re-written for clarification. He moved
to continue this application to October 12, 2005. Commissioner Owsley
seconded the motion. Motion passed with four yea votes.

FIRST READING - RESOLUTION APPROVING THE MORROW/VVINGO
JUNCTION RANCH SUBDIVISION/PUD DETAILED SUBMISSION AND FINAL
PLAT- MOTION TO APPROVE ON FIRST READING AND SET FOR SECOND
READING ON OCTOBER 12, 2005
Applicant: Robert T. Morrow
Applicant's Representative: Mitch Haas
Applicant's Request: To Subdivide the property into six lots and one tract:
free market single family residential lots; one lot to contain employee housing,
agricultural buildings and common uses; and a tract to be dedicated to Pitkin
County Open Space for a limited use trailhead.
Suzanne Wolff gave a presentation on this application including an overview of
the outstanding issues as summarized in her memorandum contained in the
BOCC packet for this meeting.
Mitch Haas, representing the applicant proceeded to review the outstanding
issues as follows:
· Additional Information:
five
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 8 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
· A. Title commitment and a boundary and improvement survey for the
12.086 acre conservation easement on land north of the Alexis Arbaney
Ditch. Mr. Haas said he is concerned with the requirement that the title
company must provide a title commitment by October 4th.
It was agreed that the title commitment shall be submitted to the county
attorney prior to acceptance of the conservation easement.
B. Designate the historically irrigated areas to be preserved and provide
draft lanqua,qe re,qardin,q he uses to be permitted within this area. Mr.
Haas said they will provide the draft language. With respect to
designating the historically irrigated areas to be preserved they were
planning to doing that by note on the plat.
It was agreed that the language should be memorialized in the resolution
and such resolution referenced on the plat.
C. Cost estimate for the improvements required in the Subdivision
Improvements Aqreement. Mr. Haas explained that there are no public
improvements associated with the application, but rather private
improvements. So there is no cost for public improvements.
Lance Clarke explained whether or not they are public roads or private
roads the county requires a subdivision improvements agreement with a
cost estimate.
Mr. Haas said he would provide a cost estimate.
D. CDOT chanqe in use permit to determine if improvements to the
highway intersection are warranted: Mr. Haas said the permit was applied
for and issued on May 11th with no public improvement requirements. He
explained that It was sent to Bob Morrows' house in Basalt, but no one
received it and therefore it was returned and ultimately expired. Sopris
Engineers has resubmitted the same application to the same person who
issued it this time with the permit to be sent to Sopris Engineers so they
can get Bob's signature. The issue is that CDOT won't tell them when the
permit will be issued but the first time it took a month.
It was agreed that the permit shall be issued prior to recordation of the
final plat.
E. Uses to be permitted on Common Parcel 2: Mr. Haas said the uses
they are envisioning are things like a picnic shelter, a fire permit,
landscaping trails gazebo, fishing equipment and other similar issues
approved by the community development department.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 9 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
Condition No. 2 of the Resolution: Mr. Haas requested a one time
contingency associated with the 180 days requirement for recordation of
the final plat and associated documents.
It was agreed that this amendment would be acceptable. Staff was
directed to incorporate the appropriate language.
· Condition No. 5 of the Resolution: Mr. Haas requested the same
extension of time as discussed with Condition No. 2.
It was agreed that this amendment would be acceptable if reasonable
cause for an extension is shown.
· Condition No. 6c of the Resolution: Mr. Haas said they have been
referencing the deed restricted mitigation housing in the PUD guide.
It was agreed that the condition would remain as written that the units
should be designated on the plat.
Condition No. 7(f) of the Resolution: Mr. Haas said since they have
reconfigured the lots, the applicant would rather have Parcels Lot 1 and 2
be the fathering parcels. Additionally, where it says 90 days, amended to
read "unless extended".
It was agreed that these amendments would be acceptable.
Condition No. 8(a) of the Resolution: Mr. Haas requested that the
language be amended to read "Both units shall be restricted as "single
family" Category 4 units.
It was agreed that this amendment would be acceptable.
· Condition No. 9 of the Resolution: Language changed to read Lots 3, 4 or
5.
It was agreed that this amendment would be acceptable.
Subdivision Improvements Aqreement Lan,qua,qe: Mr. Haas said he would
like to affirm that the language in the subdivision improvements agreement
is still acceptable if it is not amended in the resolution. It was agreed that
this is the case.
· Statutory Vested Property Ri,qhts: Mr. Haas requested that statutory
vested property rights be granted for a period of 20 years.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 10 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
Commissioner Clapper moved to grant a vesting right for a 20 year period.
Commissioner Owsley seconded the motion.

the application.

set for second reading on October 12, 2005. Commissioner Owsley
seconded the motion. Motion passed with four yea votes. Commissioner

FIRST READING - RESOLUTION GRANTING A CONSTRAINED SITE TDR
FOR THE MORROW SOUTH PARCEL TO ROBERT MORROW - MOTION TO
APPROVE AS AMENDED AND SET FOR SECOND READING ON OCTOBER
12, 2005- STAFF PLANNER: SUZANNE WOLFF
Applicant: Robert Morrow
Applicant's Representative: Mitch Haas
Applicant's Request: A determination whether the Morrow South Parcel is
undevelopable or severely constrained in order to obtain one TDR in exchange
for preservation of the parcel. The Community Development Department has
determined that the parcel is constrained and is eligible for a TDR.
Suzanne Wolff gave a presentation on this application as summarized in her
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Commissioner Hatfield moved approval of the Resolution granting a
constrained lot with one TDR.
Jody Edwards, representing the applicant, said he would like to amend their
request.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 11 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
Commissioner Hatfield withdrew his motion.
Mr. Edwards said he would like to request three conditional TDR's. He said the
property is just about 49 acres and zoned AF-R. He explained that if this wasn't
a highly constrained lot, that they would probably end up with three free market
units and one deed restricted affordable housing lot. He said one of the BOCC
goals is to insure an adequate supply of TDR's (according to Clarion and
Associates who are rewriting the code). He said they don't want to go to the
market to buy TDR's and therefore, they are requesting that they be able to
transfer three TDR's from this property to the Morrow property across the street.
He proposed three TDR's but not free market TDR's only usable on the
Morrow/VVingo Junction Subdivision. He said they feel this justifies all the
equitable attributes of the property north of the highway in granting TDR's
associated with this property. He said this also means that the Morrow/VVingo
Junction Subdivision will not be drawing the limited supply of TDR's that already
exist out there. It is also consistent with the number of free market lots that might
have been possible if this was not a constrained lot. Additionally, since this
property is critical wildlife habitat with riparian areas, which they would be
stripping all the development rights off of, they would be happy to deed the 49
acres to open space and trails with an improvement survey and a title
commitment if they require it. Lastly he said they would agree to a ten-year
vesting period on the Wingo/Morrow Subdivision if they were to receive approval
of this proposal.
Commissioner Ireland moved to authorize the three TDR's across the street
(to the Morrow property) subject to the conditions being reviewed by board
at second reading. Commissioner Hatfield seconded the motion.
Commissioner Owsley said he would feel more comfortable if the TDR's are
used for the initial development rights on Lots 3, 4 and 5 of the
Morrow/VVingo Subdivision.
Jody Edwards said this would be acceptable to the applicant.
Commissioner Ireland amended his motion to include this requirement.
Commissioner Hatfield accepted this to his second. Commissioner
Clapper called the question. Motion passed with four yea votes.
Commissioner Farris not present.
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DANCE PROGRESSIONS, LLC SPECIAL
REVIEW, GMQS EXEMPTION AND VESTED RIGHTS - MOTION TO
APPROVE AS AMENDED - STAFF PLANNER: EZRA LOUTHIS
Applicant: Dance Progressions LLC, Heather Starr-Kallas
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 12 REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 28, 2005
Applicant's Representative: Glenn Horn, AICP
Applicant's Request: Special Review approval and GMQS exemption to
operate a children's dance studio in the B-2 zone district in the Aspen Airport
Business Center (AABC).
Lance Clarke gave a presentation on this application as summarized in staff's
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Commissioner Ireland moved approval of the Resolution approving the
Dance Progressions application. Commissioner Clapper seconded the
motion with a comment that she wants to make sure that someone is
chauffeuring the children from the bus.
Commissioner Owsley said he is all for flexibility but needs some
assurance from the applicant with respect to their operation e.g. changes
to the hours of operation.
Commissioners asked the applicant to prepare a summary letter for the proposed
operational parameters, which will be attached to the resolution of approval.
Glenn Horn, representing the applicant agreed to write a clarification letter in
terms of what the intent is so it is clear for monitoring purposes.
Commissioner Ireland accepted this amendment to his motion.
Commissioner Clapper accepted this to her second.
Commissioner Clapper opened the hearing to public comment.
Ms. Brown said her opinion about the changing zoning is that there is a shortage
of commercial, service and warehouse space in the whole county and the city
and the county both need these types of spaces. She further said parking is
already a big problem in the Aspen Business Center. She explained that she
doesn't want to stand in the way of the dance studio, but she thinks the
commercial space that is left, needs to be retained.
There being no further public comment, Chairperson Clapper closed the
public hearing and called the question. Motion passed with four yea votes.
Commissioner Farris not present.
