larry, a resident of Shield 0 Mesa, expressed a concern with respect to the
impact to the elk habitat. Additionally, he said he thinks the craters (ponds) are
out of character for this pristine area.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
4 REGULAR MEETING JULY 27,2005
Mr. Wells explained that the ponds are to be utilized to store water to continue to
irrigate the agricultural lands due to the fact that not all water rights were
transferred. He explained that the ponds were developed to not impact wildlife
and were excavated as per the wildlife expert's recommendations.
Ms. Harris expressed a concern that the driveway is not in a safe place.
Additionally, a concern that additional square footage would have the potential of
requiring more people to service the home.
After a discussion it was the consensus of commission members that the TOR
would preserve land in the back country and that the additional square footage
would not increase the bulk of the house, but rather, would be used for subgrade
space only.
Commissioner Farris moved approval of the Resolution as written.
Commissioner Owsley seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.

development, with no more than three of the residences containing in excess of
10,750 and up to 13,250 square feet of floor area with the following approvals:

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
7 REGULAR MEETING JULY 27, 2005
. 1041 Hazard Review and Conceptual Submission to establish building
envelopes;
. GMQS Exemption and Special Review to establish the parcels as TDR
receiver sites (for initial development rights and additional floor area);
. Amendment to the H2J Riding Arena application to locate the approved
riding arena within the agricultural facilities parcel.
Dave Myler, representing the applicant, gave an overview of their application,
which is included in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Glen Horn, consulting land use planner, representing the applicant, proceeded
with a review of the site plans proposed with in their application.
Commissioner Ireland asked the applicants to explain their proposal for the deed
restriction on the employee housing units.
Mr. Myler addressed this issue by explaining that the deed restriction that was
recorded in 1992 was not your typical deed restriction primarily because the eight
units that existed at the time, were not required to be restricted as mitigation, but
were required to be restricted to avoid being torn down because they were being
used for replacement credits. The current owner of the property, as well as Mary
Jane Garth, as the previous owner, had the right to remove those buildings at
any time without any other consequences. He said they have no intention of
doing that and they are not planning to rip down their tenant's houses anytime
soon, if at all. They do however, want to preserve the right of replacement,
perhaps, and continue with the right to remove them if they see fit.
With respect to the specific restrictions to the deed restriction that were proposed
by Suzanne, Mr. Myler said they suggest that they use an RIO type concept but
not have a maximum rent and instead have occupant qualifications that would
apply to category housing, e.g. full time employment, and a Category 3 income
limitation. With respect to the resale issue, he said he does not know that he
wants to preserve the option of condominiumizing and selling the units because
he thinks there might be more problems than it's worth. But if they were to sale,
they were proposing an RIO restriction on the units. He said he thinks he wants
to have the association maintain control of those units, rent them to, on a first
priority basis, the people who are either working for the association or working for
the owners of the homes in the development, and thereafter they would be
available for rental to any qualified employee. With respect to occupancy limits,
they would prefer not to have one person per bedroom. Otherwise, they are
happy with a new deed restriction that tracks with the realities of this project, and
takes into account the history behind these particular units.
Commissioner Ireland expressed a concern that one, he's not sure that the
applicant can covenant against condominimizing and secondly, a concern about
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
8 REGULAR MEETING JULY 27, 2005
not having a cap on the rent. He said he would like staff to work on language in
the event that the units are condominimized regarding the category sale price.
It was agreed that this issue will be brought back at second reading for further
discussion.
Mr. Myler said they can live with category units.
With respect to the maintenance of the roads to two of the Aspen Valley Downs
lots, Mr. Myler said he and Herb Klein, attorney for the Aspen Valley Downs
Subdivision, will work out a formula for doing that. If there are damages to the
road during construction they would commit to taking care of the costs
associated with the damage.
With respect to house size, Mr. Myler said they would like some flexibility to
customize some of the lots for some of the buyers who are interested in moving
out there. He said they would work with staff on the formula and commit to fix
the size at the time of the initial sale. With respect to the house size on lots 6
and 7, he said they will agree that these will not be the larger homes.
With respect to the RFTA contribution, Mr. Myler said when they filed the original
application it included subdivision approval, which triggered the RFTA
contribution fee. Since that time, they have revised the application to eliminate
the need for subdivision approval and it was their impression that the RFTA
would not be applicable to them. However, they are agreeing to make a $10,000
donation to the improvement of the Rio Grande Trail.
Commissioner Farris said because of the size of the development she would
hope that the development would pay the required fee to RFT A. It was the
consensus of other commission members that the applicants should come back
at second reading with a better proposal for transit mitigation.
With respect to the code amendment that would allow cash in lieu of TDR's he
said they threw this on the table to see if there was any interest in pursuing it. He
said this legislation would avoid the importation of TDR's, which is something that
the caucus would prefer not to do, but it would allow them to pay into a fund that
could be used to buy open space for TDR's in lieu of actually going out and
buying a TDR and extinguishing it. He said if there is any interest in discussing
this matter they will come back at the next meeting prepared to do so. If not,
they will pull it off the table.
It was the consensus of commission members, with the exception of
Commissioner Hatfield, that they would like to discuss this matter at a future
meeting.
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
9 REGULAR MEETING JULY 27, 2005
Mr. Myler continued with the subject of vested rights. He said they initially asked
for 30 years, but the Planning Commission asked for 20 years and they could live
with that with certain language in the development agreement about things that
are critical to them that they are getting approval for, and that they would like to
have preserved for the vesting period; beyond house size.
It was agreed that this issue will be further discussed at the next meeting on the
application.
Suzanne Wolff clarified that eight employee units have been talked about on the
ranch however, there are only seven existing units today. With respect to the
RFT A fee, she wants to make it clear that there is no requirement for this fee.
With respect to the covenants and the development agreement she said the
county attorney has agreed to review these documents prior to the next meeting.
Chairperson Clapper opened the hearing to public comment.
Herb Klein, representing the Aspen Valley Downs Homeowners Association, said
he and members of the homeowners association has met with the applicants and
are in agreement with respect to the road issue. Additionally, he asked that the
board keep the building envelopes where they are shown on the proposal
because those were the envelopes that were shown to the members of the
association and some of their concerns of view plains and privacy issues were
taken into account by the applicant in selection of those sites.
Staff submitted a letter from Howard Vagneur with respect to his concerns with
respect to the proposal. A copy of this letter is attached to the end of the BOCC
packet for this meeting, under additional exhibits. Mr. Myler said they would take
Mr. Vagneur's comments into consideration and respond to him with their
response.
Chairperson Clapper said she would entertain a motion for first reading on the
ordinance and to continue the resolution to the next meeting.
Commissioner Farris moved approval of first reading of the Ordinance on
first reading and set for second reading and continued public hearing on
August 10,2005. Commissioner Hatfield seconded the motion. Motion
passed unanimously.
Commissioner Farris moved to continue the Resolution on the Aspen
Valley Ranch application to August 10,2005. Commissioner Hatfield

BAKER APPEAL OF 1041 DENIAL - MOTION TO FIND A TAKINGS - STAFF
PLANNER: LANCE CLARKE. ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR-
APPLICANT: Bill Baker
APPLICANT'S REPRESENTATIVE: Kim Raymond
APPLICANT'S REQUEST: A takings determination, pursuant to Section 4-150
of the Pitkin County Land Use Code, as a result of the Community Development
Director's denial of the Baker 1041 Hazard Review and Conceptual Submission,
which the applicant contends leaves the property without a reasonable economic
use.
lance Clarke gave a presentation on this appeal as summarized in his
memorandum contained in the BOCC packet for this meeting.
Kim Raymond, representing the applicant, said they met with the Nancy
MacKenzie, with the Environmental Health Department and from her standpoint,
she said she prefers to have the septic system on the lower bench for health
reasons and for the separation of the septic system from the well, which is 132
feet. So if they could put the septic system below then they have just enough
space to get to the far end of the lot to put the well, which Mr. Baker agreed he
would drill for his residence. She said the proposal is to work with an adjoining
neighbor to hand dig the trench for both septic systems, which would result in a
minimal disturbance to that steep slope. Additionally, she stated that no matter
what the size of the house is proposed for the site, there is not room on the
property for the well, the house and the septic system.
After a discussion it was the consensus of staff and the majority of the board that
there would be no where else on the property to place the septic system.
Commissioner Farris moved that a takings has occurred with direction to
staff to come back with a Resolution of remediation. Commissioner
Hatfield seconded the motion. Motion passed with four yea votes with one
nay vote by Commissioner Ireland with a comment that he believes there
are other options.
