AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
TO:
Board of County Commissioners
Regular Meeting - June 28, 2006
FROM:
Carrington Brown, Enforcement Officer
Suzanne Wolff, Senior Planner
RE:
Appeal of Notice of Violation for High Country Tree Galleries, Inc.
SUMMARY: The High Country Tree Galleries, Inc. property is located at 24825 Highway 82
adjacent to Hoaglund Ranch Road and is zoned Unclassified. The parcel contains 8.001 acres.
Richard Neiley, representing the owner, has submitted a Notice of Intent to File Litigation
against Pitkin County (attached as Exhibit A) in association with (1) a Notice of Violation issued
by the County on December 21,2005 with regard to multi-family units on-site (attached as
Exhibit B), and (2) the owner's desire for the County to recognize a nursery/landscape
contracting business as a legal, non-conforming use. The Land Use Code does not have a
procedural mechanism that can result in recognition of legal, non-conforming uses on a property.
Consequently, Mr. Neiley has delivered the Notice of Intent to File Litigation, but has also stated
the owner's willingness to enter into a negotiated settlement, based on terms set forth in letters
dated February 3 and April 27, 2006 (attached as Exhibits C and D). This agenda item is
intended to give the owner the opportunity to present his argument to the BOCC.
BACKGROUND: High Country Lumber and then Boise Cascade operated retail lumber supply
operations on the property from 1966 (prior to the adoption of zoning in this area) until 1989 .
In 1987 the BOCC denied a request to construct a mini-storage facility on the property, finding
that the use was incompatible with the primarily residential character of surrounding properties
and did not comply with the special review criteria with regard to visual impacts and traffic
generation.
After the sale ofthe property to John Ware in 1989, the Assessor's Office classified the property
as residential, and it appears that the "Shop" building was converted to a single family residence.
Starting in 1990, Ed BooherlMountain West Trees leased a portion of the property to expand the
nursery/landscape business that was operating on the adjacent parcel. At that time a "crop
production, orchards, nurseries, flower production and forest land; pasture and grazing land" was
an allowed use in the U zone, as it was allowed in the AF and RS zones. "Landscape business"
was not listed as a use in the U zone; under the 1976 Land Use Code ("1976 Code"), a use not
listed could be considered via special review. Refer to Exhibit E - Sections 3-1.5 and 3-3 of the
1976 Code.
BooherlMountain West Trees (now High Country Tree Galleries, Inc.) subsequently acquired the
subject parcel in 1995. At that time the landscaping operation was expanded to fully encompass
the subject property. The owner operated a landscaping business on the property until 1998, at
which time the property was leased to a third party landscaping business that operated on-site
until August of 2004.

intended to give the owner the opportunity to present his argument to the BOCC.
BACKGROUND: High Country Lumber and then Boise Cascade operated retail lumber supply
operations on the property from 1966 (prior to the adoption of zoning in this area) until 1989.
In 1987 the BOCC denied a request to construct a mini-storage facility on the property, fmding
that the use was incompatible with the primarily residential character of surrounding properties
and did not comply with the special review criteria with regard to visual impacts and traffic
generation.
After the sale of the property to John Ware in 1989, the Assessor's Office classified the property
as residential, and it appears that the "Shop" building was converted to a single family residence.
Starting in 1990, Ed Booher/Mountain West Trees leased a portion of the property to expand the
nursery/landscape business that was operating on the adjacent parcel. At that time a "crop
production, orchards, nurseries, flower production and forest land; pasture and grazing land" was
an allowed use in the U zone, as it was allowed in the AF and RS zones. "Landscape business"
was not listed as a use in the U zone; under the 1976 Land Use Code ("1976 Code"), a use not
listed could be considered via special review. Refer to Exhibit E - Sections 3-1.5 and 3-3 of the
1976 Code.
Booher/Mountain West Trees (now High Country Tree Galleries, Inc.) subsequently acquired the
subject parcel in 1995. At that time the landscaping operation was expanded to fully encompass
the subject property. The owner operated a landscaping business on the property until 1998, at
which time the property was leased to a third party landscaping business that operated on-site
until August of 2004.
v
In 2005, the owner requested special review approval for a landscape contracting yard, based on
the special review use in the current Land Use Code ("1994 Code") of "equipment supplies and
contraction or subcontraction" (includes storage and sale for contract installation of nursery
stocks). Refer to Exhibit E - Sections 3-40-220 and 8-01 of the 1994 Code. The BOCC denied
the request pursuant to Resolution No. 083-2005 (attached as Exhibit F). One of the Recitals of
the Resolution states, "The BOCC fmds that there are existing multi-family units on site for
which approvals and permits were not obtained, and, therefore, that there is an existing violation
on the property." The County subsequently issued a notice of violation for the multi-family
units. The Notice of Violation gave the owner the option of vacating the illegal units and making
them uninhabitable within 45 days or vacating the units and submitting a land use application to
legalize the units. To date, the owner has not complied with either option, though Mr. Neiley has
met with staff several times to discuss the situation and to find a viable solution.
ISSUES:
Multi-Familv Dwelling Units: Mr. Neiley acknowledges that there are 4 residential units located
on the property (3 units are inside one structure) and asserts that the units were legally created,
and, therefore, are a "legal, non-conforming use." Staff would note that multi-family dwelling
units are a prohibited use in the 1994 Code, and were also a prohibited use in the 1976 Code, and
that the County does not have any evidence of approvals or permits for these units. If the units
were legally created, then they would be considered non-conforming under the current Code
(refer to Secs. 6-10 and 6-20 of the 1994 Code, attached as Exhibit G), however, it does not
appear that they could have been legally created as the use was prohibited as far back as 1976.
Nursery/Landscape Contractinf! Business: There have been "commercial" uses on this property
over many years, but the actual use has changed over time. The lumber yard was "grandfathered
in" when the zone district regulations were extended to this area in 1973. However, when the
lumber yard use was eliminated, it did not provide any "right" to a future commercial use on the
property; new uses were/are subject to the zoning regulations in effect when the use was/is
commenced.
The owner asserts that the nursery/landscape contracting business is a legal, non-conforming use,
since "nurseries" were listed as an allowed use in the U zone district in the 1976 Code and then
were not listed as a use in the 1994 Code (after which time "uses not listed" were prohibited).
While "nurseries" were an allowed use in 1990 when the use commenced on the property, it is
staff's understanding that the business operated beyond the scope of a "nursery" and provided
contract landscape services. "Landscape business" or "landscape contracting yard" were not
listed as uses in the U zone; under the Code in effect at that time (1976 Code), a use not listed
could be considered via special review. Therefore, the 1990 decision to operate a
nursery/landscape contracting business on the property resulted in a change in use from the
commercial lumber business use, and the use required special review approval. After the
adoption of the 1994 Code, the landscape contracting use still required special review approval,
under the "Equipment Supplies and Contraction or Subtraction" use. There is no record of a
special review approval for the use, therefore the nursery/landscape contracting business is
illegal. As noted above, the BOCC denied the use pursuant to Resolution No. 083-2005.
Mr. Neiley has proposed the following resolution to these issues:
I) Pitkin County would formally recognize the legal, non-conforming use of the property for a
nursery/landscape contracting business.
~
,
2) Owner will remove the multi-family dwellings and replace them with one single family
residence, a caretaker dwelling unit and an employee dwelling unit, which would be deed
restricted to use by the employees of the nursery business.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the BOCC:
1) Require that the existing multi-family units be vacated and rendered uninhabitable within 45
days of the Resolution.
2) Recognize the nursery/landscape contracting business as an illegal use.
3) Allow a single family residence and caretaker dwelling unit, either by conversion of the
existing structures or replacement.
4) Direct staff to rezone the property to AFR-IO.

Re: Notice of Violation
24825 Highway 82, Pitkin County, Colorado
Dear Mr. Brown:
I represent High Country Tree Galleries, Inc., the owner of the property at the above-
referenced address. My client has asked me to respond to your December 21,2005 Notice of Violation.
My client denies that it has committed any violation with respect to the subject property.
While we aclmowledge that there are four residential units located on the property, three in what is
referred to in the Assessor's records as Building No.1 (the original retail/living quarters building) and
one unit in what is referred to in the Assessor's records as Building No.8 (sometimes referred to as
Building No.4), all the residential units have existed for many years and, we believe, were permitted and
approved by Pitkin County.
We aclmowledge that current zoning does not allow for multi-family structures and that,
as a consequence, the three residential unit structure that is Building No.1 is non-conforming. We lmow,
based upon the Assessor's Office records that "living quarters" existed in Building No. I since the early
1970's when the property was used as a lumber yard. We also understand that the prior owner of the
property, John Ware, obtained a building permit in 1989 or 1990 to convert the retail sales area of
Building No.1 to residential uses. When my client purchased the property in 1995, all three units existed
in Building No.1.
With respect to the fourth unit, the Assessor's Office records indicate that it was
historically used by delivery drivers at the lumber yard for residential purposes, although the exact date
when this residential unit was constructed is unclear. We do know that all of the buildings on the
property were constructed between 1966 and 1976.
Unfortunately, Pitkin County is not now able to locate the Building Department records
for this property. This is not the fault of my client and is not evidence of violation of the Land Use Code.
We know a file previously existed that contained permits for the development of the property. To suggest
't
Letter to Mr. Brown
February 3, 2006
Page 2
that my client's property is in violation of the Land Use Code simply because you cannot locate your
records improperly places the burden on my client to establish the historic permitted uses.
We do have records that demonstrate that in 1998, my client submitted to Pitkin County
an application for a permit to reconstruct the septic system on the property. This permit application
expressly referenced and depicted the four residential units on the property, totaling eight bedrooms,
along with additional office space. A permit was issued and approved by Pitkin County for the work on
these units. This may be the only existing permit that the County can now locate for the property. It
establishes that the County considered these units legal as of 1998; otherwise, the permit would not have
been issued.
In 1999, my client processed an arbitration with the Pitkin County Assessor's Office
pursuant to which the classification of the property was established as mixed
agricultural/commercial/residential. At the time of the 1999 arbitration, Pitkin County had a full and
unrestrained opportunity to inspect the property and we believe it did so.
You state in your Notice of Violation that the County Assessor's records indicate that the
property is assessed as a "single family residence." This is not accurate. The Assessor's Office records
state that as of January 1,2005, the property is "100% residential." This, however, is erroneous. While
the residential uses continue, my client has consistently used the property as a tree farm, nursery and
landscape contractor's yard since the spring of 1990. In the spring of 2005, we submitted an application
for a special use permit for the tree farmlnursery/landscape contracting uses. In conjunction with that
application, we demonstrated that commercial uses have continued unabated since the mid-1960's.
My client does not consider either a land use application or an application for rezoning to
be a realistic alternative at the present time. First, because there are legal non-conforming uses on the
property, both residential and commercial, and because the property became non-conforming as to size as
a consequence of a 1998 condemnation by the Colorado Department of Transportation, we do not believe
that there is any likelihood of successfully processing a land use application. I met with Suzanne Wolff
following receipt of your letter and she conformed that a land use application is not a viable option.
Second, in light of the fact that Pitkin County is presently revising the Land Use Code, it
would be premature for us to consider a rezoning of the property. We have informed the County in the
past that we will actively participate in any rezoning initiated by Pitkin County but that rezoning should
reflect the historic uses of the property.
As a resolution of this dispute, my client is willing to eliminate the multi-family uses on
the property. My client is willing to convert the main living area of Building No. 1 to one unit while
retaining the two apartments historically located on the property, one in Building No.1 and the other in
Building No.8, in their present size and configuration (i.~., two bedrooms each). We recognize that these
will be non-conforming units subject to the provisions of the Land Use Code related thereto.
In conjunction with the conversion of Building No.1, my client is willing to obtain all
necessary Building Department permits and approvals for the residential units. This will ensure
compliance with all applicable building and safety codes
~
Letter to Mr. Brown
February 3, 2006
Page 3
As part of the resolution of this dispute, my client requests Pitkin County formally
acknowledge that its tree farmJnursery/landscape contracting uses on the property are legal, non-
conforming uses. We demonstrated the historic commercial uses on the property since the mid-1960's in
conjunction with our 2005 special use application. We assume that Pitkin County acknowledges the legal
status of these uses, since your letter of December 21,2005 does not address the existing commercial uses
on the property as violations.
Finally, as part of a comprehensive resolution of this dispute, my client will not oppose
Pitkin County rezoning the property to AFR-IO, as you propose. Absent a resolution of these disputes,
my client will resist such a rezoning. In this regard, I would note that when Pitkin County established
zoning for the surrounding properties, it acknowledged that the AFR-1O zoning (or its equivalent under
prior Land Use Codes) was not appropriate for my client's property. For that reason, my client's property
was zoned "U - Unclassified" pending a determination of some other appropriate zone district
designation for the property.
In closing, my client is willing to eliminate the multi-family uses on the property
although we believe they were permitted and approved and are legal. However, we do not want to
approach land use issues with respect to the property in a piecemeal fashion. Thus, we believe any
resolution of the County's objections with respect to multi-family housing should also include a
resolution of all other issues related to this property, including the commercial uses and rezoning.
Once you have had an opportunity to review this letter, please give me a call. I would be
happy to discuss this matter with you at any mutually convenient time. Perhaps we can set a meeting for
early next week. I would suggest that one of the county attorneys attend.

Re: Notice of Violation
24825 Highway 82, Pitkin County, Colorado
Dear Carrington:
Pei your request, I am submitting herewith the following:
1. A copy of Special Use Review and GMQS Exemption Application submitted
to Pitkin County by High Country Tree Galleries, Inc. in the spring of 2005. This Application
includes a discussion of the property and attaches exhibits pertinent to the historic uses of the
property.
2. High Country Tree Galleries, Inc. Commercial and Residential Use Timeline
with Schedule of Exhibits. The exhibits relate to the historic commercial uses and also document
to some extent the residential uses on the property.
3. Documentation from Pitkin County Environmental Health's file on the subject
property. This includes what is, to my knowledge, the only County permit for the property
anyone can presently fmd. It was issued on May 20, 1998 for replacement of the septic system.
You will note that this permit is for 4 units of less than 2,000 square feet each comprised of a
total of 8 bedrooms. It also includes septic design for 4 office employees. This package of
documents also includes some additional historic records from Environmental Health.
4. A copy of the Improvement Location Certificate from January 2005. This
survey depicts the existing improvements on the property. It is consistent with the exhibits
included in the "timeline" with respect to the physical characteristics of the buildings historically
located on the property.
It

5. Lease dated April 18, 1994, between Mountain West Trees (the name used by
High Country Tree Galleries, Inc. until the fall of 1998) and the prior owners of the subject
property. This is the first written lease I have been able to locate. You will, however, note from
the "Timeline" that Ed Booher actually began leasing the property in the spring of 1990. This
exhibit, I think, is pertinent to the fact that nursery uses were legal in the underlying zone district
until the summer of 1994, although those uses were not specifically defined.
6. Photographs of the property depicting the nursery/landscape contracting uses
in the mid-1990's and the present. The aerial view of the property was taken prior to the 1998
condemnation by CDOT.
My client can provide additional proof of the operations on the property, if
necessary. My client operated on the property from 1990 until September 30, 1998, when the
business of Mountain West Trees was sold to Terry and Mary McDaniel. The McDaniels
operated the nursery/landscape business under lease with my client from the fall of 1998 until
September 2004. In September of 2004, we evicted them from the property for violations of the
le~e. In the fall of 2004, Ed Booher retook possession of the property and began cleaning up the
mess created by the tenants. During the entire period of occupancy from the fall of 1998 through
September 2004, the property was consistently used as a nursery/landscape contracting business.
I have extensive files covering this period of time, including leasehold documentation, notices of
default and the like.
In the spring of 2005, prior to the Special Use Permit hearing, my client once
again began restocking the property for use as a nursery/landscape contracting yard. The
enclosed picture depicting the public notice sign shows the property in the spring of 2005, and in
the background, one can see equipment, trees, materials and the comer of building materials
which were stored adjacent to one the enclosed buildings under lease to Woodhaus Builders.
My client is currently restocking the yard for the 2006 landscape season.
The current plan for use, and what we would like to confirm as a legal, non-
conforming use, is consistent with the pre-1998 aerial view of the property photograph. That
photograph, however, depicts equipment and trees stored on the Hoaglund Ranch Historic
Planned United Development adjacent property depicted by the red line. As of the fall of 1998,
that use ceased on the Hoaglund Ranch Historic Planned United Development, and all of the
materials and equipment were moved to the subject property. Ed Booher began operating the
nursery/landscape contract business on the Hoaglund property in 1988. When he sold the
business in 1998, all of the commercial activities were moved to the subject property.
Although the evidence submitted herewith demonstrates continuous commercial
uses of the property from the mid-1960's through the present, as part of a settlement with the
\!

.
County, we are willing to define the type and extent of activities on the property as previously
expressed in my correspondence of February 3,2006.
Insofar as the residential units are concerned, my client acquired the property with
the 4 units in place and submitted the application for the reconstruction of the septic system to
the County with the good faith belief that the 4 units were legal and legally constructed. To my
knowledge, the 1998 permit issued by the Environmental Health Department represents the only
existing permit related to development of the property that anyone is able to locate. We think
this is conclusive evidence that the County considered the 4 units legal as of 1998 when the
permit was issued and 1999 when the property was inspected and the work was approved.
In any event, for purposes of resolving the dispute over the multi-family housing
on the property, my client is willing to eliminate 1 unit, designate 1 of the remaining units as the
principal residence, designate a second unit as a caretaker unit, and designate the third unit as an
employee unit restricted to occupancy by employees of the business on site. The total residential
square footage would be limited to an agreed upon amount, not to exceed 5,750 square feet. The
balance of the buildings on the property would be calculated as to size and classified as legal,
non-conforming uses.
In the spring of 2005, the property was inspected by Tony Fusaro of the
AspenlPitkin County Community Development Department and by Bill Harding, Fire Marshall
for the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District. Although Messrs. Fusaro and Harding noted
some conditions that they felt required upgrades for health/safety reasons, we have not been
made aware of any hazardous conditions or actual violations of health/safety codes with respect
to the property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as part of a settlement with Pitkin County, my
client will obtain all necessary permits in connection with removing the fourth unit and will
insure that the remaining units comply with all health/safety requirements.
As noted above, the property is already served by a septic system adequate for our
proposed uses. Additionally, the documentation submitted herewith demonstrates that the well
on the property was permitted for both residential and office uses.
I appreciate that this is a lot of documentation covering an extended period of
time. In certain respects, the most pertinent documents would seem to be those from the spring
of 1994 to the present that relate directly to my client's use and ownership of the property. I do,
however, think the historic documentation is relevant, because it demonstrates continuous
commercial use on the property for approximately 40 years, until the present time.
As I previously stated, my client would stipulate to a limited commercial use
related to the nursery/landscape contracting business which we are willing to define with
specificity. This use does involve heavy equipment such as tree spades, snow removal
equipment, backhoes and semi-tractors and trailers. We are willing to limit all vehicular parking
and maintenance to the areas around the existing buildings. We do need to have the ability to

have equipment in the field to move and dig trees, maintain irrigation equipment and the like.
Weare willing to limit use of the downvalley access as. "secondary" access with the main access
being the paved Hoaglund Ranch Road. A retail component is not being requested except that
customers do come to the property to purchase trees and landscape contracting services. We do
not, however, operate like Planted Earth or Lazy Glen where the main business is seasonal retail
sales of potted plants and planting materials.
With respect to the residential units, we are willing to have calculations prepared
to confirm the square footage of each of the buildings, identify the size and location of
residential uses and otherwise record the conditions on the property which are deemed permitted
and/or legal, non-conforming.
In summary, at the time my client established the nursery/landscape contracting
business on the property, it was a legal permitted use under the zone district regulations. The
specific use of "nursery" was dropped from the Code in the summer of 1994 as part of overall
revisions to the Land Use Code. However, the uses on the property have continued unabated and
continue to this day. We think it is appropriate, in the context of the settlement of the issues
related to residential uses, to stipulate to the permitted commercial uses and the limitations
related thereto.
Similarly, my client believed the residential uses on the property were permitted
and legal when it acquired the property. We think the 1998 septic permit application is
conclusive evidence that my client was specifically trying to comply with County regulations
when performing the septic system work. It seems the County was in agreement at that time.
Once you have had an opportunity to review the enclosed documentation, please
give me a call so we can discuss this matter further.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY,
COLORADO, DENYING THE HIGH COUNTRY TREE GALLERIES INC. SPECIAL REVIEW
AND GMQS EXEMPTION
Resolution No.o5'J -200S
RECITALS
I. High Country Tree Galleries, Inc. ("Applicant") applied to the Pitkin County Board of County
Commissioners ("BOCC") for approval to operate a landscape contracting yard. "Equipment supplies
and contraction or subcontraction" is listed as a Special Review use in the Unclassified zone district.
2. The parcel is located at 24825 Highway 82, and is more specifically described in Exhibit A.
3. The parcel contains 8.00 I acres and is a non-conforming size parcel in the Unclassified zone district.
4. The BOCC considered this application at a duly noticed public hearing on May 11,2005, at which time
evidence and testimony were presented with respect to this application.
5. The BOCC finds that there are existing multi-family units on site for which approvals and permits
were not obtained, and, therefore, that there is an existing violation on the property.
6. The BOCC further finds that the use is in conflict with section 6-50-01 O(A) of the Land Use Code,
which prohibits any principal land use other than a single family dwelling unit on a substandard size
lot.
7. The BOCC further finds that the use is not consistent with the special review criteria for a TDR receiver
site based on the following:
A. The use is not consistent with the Down Valley Comprehensive Plan, which discourages new
commercial development along'the highway and recommends that the property be zoned for
residential use to be consistent with adjacent properties.
B. The use is not consistent with the Basalt Master Plan, as it is located outside of Basalt's Urban
Growth Boundary where additional commercial uses are discouraged.
C. The current "Unclassified" zoning is inappropriate, given that the County adopted a Master Plan
for this area in 1987 and that the property is surrounded by developed areas, including Holland
Hills, the Hoaglund Ranch PUD and the Roaring Fork Club.
D. The use is not compatible with the surrounding area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners that it does
hereby deny the High Country Tree Galleries Inc. Special Review and GMQS Exemption.
