RECITALS
1. Dana C. Brackett (hereinafter "Applicant") has applied to the Pitkin County Hearing
Officer, fora 1041 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission and Ridgeline Review to establish a
building envelope for the purpose of asingle-family residence and customary accessory uses..
2. The property is described as Lot 15, of the West Sopris Ranch and is more particularly.
described in Exhibit. "A", attached hereto.
3. The property is zoned RS-30 and contains, approximately 48.5 acres.
4. The Hearing Officer heazd this application at its regularly scheduled meeting on Mazch
20, 2001, at which time evidence and testimony were presented with respect to the application.
5. A. Vince Urbina, Colorado State Forest Service, in a report dated July 7, 1999,
addressing the building envelope, stated:
"I would rate the wildfire hazazd as severe because of the shrub density."
He also note that the road alternatives passed "through severe wildfire hazard rated fuels...."
Therefore, based on the evidence presented, the Hearing Officer finds that the building envelope
and proposed driveway are within a severe wildfire hazard. I
Section 3-80-070, A., states in pertinent part as follows:
"Severe Hazazd Wildfire Areas: Development is prohibited within any of the followirig
areas:
" 2. Areas that are not mapped but are identified by the Colorado State Forest ;!i"
Service and/or the Pitkih County Sheriff s Department as areas containing `C -Severe
Hazard: Trees' or `X -Severe Hazard: Brush' wildfire hazard."
6. Jonathan Lowsky, Pitkin County Wildlife Officer, in a report dated March 14, 2001,
stated that the home site is within mapped elk winter range and concentration area and within
deer critical habitat, winter range, severe winter range and winter concentration area. Although
the applicant questioned whether field reports would support the apparent mapping of this site,
the Hearing Officer finds that the only evidence submitted supports a finding that the home site
is within elk and/or deer severe winter range and winter concentration area;

Re: Dana C. Brackett Property, Lot 15 Terliamis Tracts-Request for a Takings Determination
Dear Commissioners:
I request a Takings Hearing before the Board of County Commissioners for the property owned by
Dana C. Brackett, Lot 15 Terliamis Tracts. The Brackett land use. application was denied at a Public
Hearing on March 23, 2001, by the Pitkin County Hearing Officer. The Hearing Officer denied the
application based on the property's location within Critical Wildlife Habitat and Severe Wildfire
Hazazd Areas: Mr. Brackett contends that the recent denial of the Conceptual Submission/1041
Hazard Review by the Pitkin County Hearing Officer constitutes a taking of his private property.
Mr. Brackett is willing to comply with conditions to mitigate potential hazazds as recommended by
the staff. This request for a Taking Hearing is submitted pursuant to Pitkin County Land Use Code
Sections 3-80-030(3) (General Standards), 3-80-070(4) (Wildfire Areas) and 3-80-080(B) which
direct an Applicant that has been denied to petition the Boazd for consideration pursuant to Section
3-290(Takings Determination) of the Land Use Code.
The following information is respectfully submitted to comply with the requirements of Section 5-
220-010 of the Code:
Code: A. A written request for the takings hearing prepared pursuant to the procedures in
Section 4-150:
Response: This letter constitutes a written request for a hearing pursuant to the procedures in
Section 4-150.

RE: Brackett Takings Determination
DATE: September 26, 2001
APPLICANTS: Dana Brackett
LOCATION:. Lot 15, West Sopris Ranch Subdivision
ZONING/LOT SIZE: RS-30/48.5 acres
SUMMARY: The Applicants have requested a Takings Hearing before the Board
of County Commissioners for their property that was denied 1041 Hazard Review
approval by the Hearing Officer on Mazch 23, 2001.
BACKGROUND. INFORMATION: On March 23, Dana Brackett was denied 1041
Hazazd Review approval for his property (Lot 15, West Sopris Ranch Subdivision)
due to the. presence of severe wildfire danger' and critical wildlfehabitat on the
property. Development in said 1041 hazard azeas is prohibited pursuant to Code
Sections 3-80-070 and 3080-080 of the Land Use Code.
The applicant request a takings determination before the BOCC on April 11, 2001
at which time the hearing was continued due to insufficient information regarding
wildlife habitat on the property. On Apri125, 2001, the BOCC determined that a
takings had occurred and directed staff to draft a resolution of 1041 Hazard Review_
approval.
Staff would recommend. strict development restrictions in terms of limited height
and square footage due to the high profile aesthetic nature of this property and the
sensitive wildlife habitat contained within. The Colorado State Forest Service (see
attached) has recommended thinning the vegetation surrounding any structure on
the property to the following specifications:
a) 60 feet -downhill.
b) 40 feet -uphill
c) 40 feet -sides
These specific wildfire mitigation standards will result in a lazger area of wildlife
habitat disturbance if permitted a larger development footprint on the property.
The following calculations illustrate. the amount. of wildlife habitat. disturbance that ,;
will result from various footprint dimensions:
a) 1000 sq/ft footprint =15,000 sq/ft of wildlife habitat disturbance
b) 750 sq/ft footprint = 13,750 sq/ft (over 1/3 acre)
c) 500 sq/ft footprint = 12,500 sq/ft (over'/< acre)
Staff feels that. development on the property should be limited to the greatest extent
possible, and this would be achieved by limiting the development footprint on the
Brackett property to 500 square feet. Furthermore, in order to protect the visual
integrity of the azea as seen from Highway 82, any structure on the property should
be limited to twenty feet (20') as measured from the ridge as no£extend beyond the
existing vegetation..
The Applicant has been in contact with the Pitkin County Open Space Boazd in
regazds to a possible purchase of the property. Staff is unawaze of the progress of
those discussions.

RE: Brackett 1041 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission, and Ridgeline Review/Takings
Approval Determination.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Applicant requested a hearing, pursuant to Section 4-150 of the Pitkin
County Land Use Code, as a result of the Hearing Officer's denial on March 20, 2001. The Applicant
contends the denial constitutes a taking of private property without just compensation.
The Applicant is requesting 1041 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission and Ridgeline Review approval
to establish a building envelope for the construction of a singlafamily residence.
The proposed building envelope and access is encumbered. by severe wildfire hazard as well as elk and
mule deer winter concentration and mule. deer severe winter range.
APPLICANT: Dana Brackett
REPRESENTATIVE: Francis Krizmanich
LOCATION: The property is described as Lot 15 of West Sopris Ranch Subdivision.
ZONING/LOT SIZE: The property is zoned RS-30. The property contains approximately 48.5 acres and
is conforming in size.
STAFF COMMENTS: The. standard of review for a Boazd takings determination is identified in Section
3-290 of the Land Use Code, and reads as follows:
"The Board shall determine whether the property owner will be denied all reasonable use and
economic return on the property as a result of the questioned determination. If the Board
determines that a taking has or may occur, it shall take such action as it deems appropriate to
remedy the situation. In making its decision the Board shall consider the value of the property as a
whole and shall not, base its decision on the impact of tl~ regulation on one portion of the
ownership interest. In making its determination, the Board shall consider the beneficial uses which
remain in the property notwithstanding the challenged determination andshall give due
consideration to the reasonable investment-backed expectations of the landowner. "
Section 4-150 of the Code requires that the Applicant submit the request for a takings hearing within 15 days
of the Board's decision and that the Board schedule a hearing within 15 days of the request. 'I1ie Board is
required to make a decision regazding the application for a taking determination within 15 days after the
hearing on the matter.
SUMMARY OF APPLICANT'S POSTTION: The Applicant requests a taking determination pursuant to
Code section 4-150 andhas addressed the criteria of Code section 5-220-010 in the attached letter: The
Applicant contends that the Hearing Officer's denial of the application has denied him all beneficial use and
economic return on the property.
ISSUES RELATED TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT:
Issues related to theproposed development on the subject property have been fully addressed in staffls
memorandum to the Hearing Officer dated Mazch 20, 2001. The application was denied by the Hearing
Officer based on the finding that the proposed building envelope and access is encumbered by severe
wildfire hazard and contain elk/ mule deer winter concentration. as well as mule deer severe winter range,
where pursuant to Section 3-80-070(A) and Section 3-80-80 (B) of the Land Use Code, development is
prohibited.
Wildfire Hazard: The entire properly has a severe wildfire hazard rating. According to Section 3•
80-070(A)(2) of the Code, development is ptohibited within areas that are identified by the Colorado
State Forest Service as areas containing severe wildfire hazanl. Vince Urbina of the Colorado State
Forest Service indicated. that the severe wildlife hazard can be lowered by incorporating defensible
space thinning. Mr. Urbina has offered a number of wildfire hazard mitigation measures that are
outlined in his letter attached to staffls memorandum to the Hearing Officer.
Wildlife Habitat: The property is mapped for mule deer winter range, severe winter range, winter
concentration and critical habitat. The property has also been mapped for elk wintet range and water
concentration. According to Section 3-80-080 (B) of the Code, development is prohibited in areas
identified by the Division of Wildlife as winter concentration and severe winter range. These findings
have been verified and supported by Jonathan Lowsky, the Pitkin County Wildlife Biologist. Mr:
Lowsky has concurred that development on this site would have significant impacts on mule deer.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION: Pursuant to section 3-290-020 of the Code, the Board shall
consider whether or not a taking has occurred by virtue of the previous denial. The BOCC shall:
1. Find that no taking has occurred because:
A. The Applicant has no reasonable investment-backed expectation to develop a new single-
family residence in a severe wildfire hazard azeas;
B. The Applicant has not been denied all reasonable use and economic return in connection
with the denial of the development application; and
C. The Applicant does not have the right to the most profitable use of his property, which
would require development in hazard areas.
2. Find that a taking has occurred because:
A. There is no area on the property that is not encumbered by severe wildfire hazard;
B. There is no area on the property that is not encumbered by wildlife winter concentration
and/or severe winter range;
B. The proposed building envelope is in the most suitable location on the property for
development; and
C. The denial constitutes a taking of all reasonable use and economic return from the subject
property.
The BOCC shall direct staff to prepare a resolution of approval or denial based on their final ruling.

RE: Brackett 1041 Hazard Review, Conceptual Submission and Ridgeline Review
DATE: March 20, 2001
REQUEST: The Applicant requests 1041 Hazard Review, General Submission and Ridgeline Review
approval of a building envelope for residential and accessory uses.
CASE SUMMARY: The Applicant has not demonstrated that a driveway can be constructed to meet Pitkin
County grade standazds by not encroaching onto slopes of 30% or greater. The proposed building envelope
also contains slopes in excess of 30%. The Colorado State Forest Service has rated the entire property as
severe wildfire hazard. In addition, the property contains elk and mule deer winter concentration areas plus
mule deer severe winter range.
Code Section 3-80-050 (C) prohibits development on slopes of 30% or greater, Code Section 380-0'70 (A)
prohibits development in severe wildfire areas, and Code Section 380-080 (B) prohibits development in
winter concentration and severe winter range habitats. Staff recommends denial of this application due to
inconsistencies with the standazds of the Pitkin County Land Use Code.
The proposed building envelope appears to avoid mapped ridgeline areas.
OWNER/APPLICANTh Dana C. Brackett
LOCATION: Pazcei No. 15 West Sopris Ranch ("Terliamis Tracts").
REFERRAL COMMENTS: Staff received comments from the County Biologist, the Colorado State
Forest Service, Zoning, Engineering, Colorado Geologic Survey, Collins & Lampiris Consulting, and
Sshmueser Gorden Meyer Inc.
Joanna Schaffner, the Pitkin County Zoning Officer observed that the property contains approximately 48.5
acres and is a conforming parcel in the RS-30 PUD zone district. She indicated that driveway cuts w>11 most
likely require a variance from the Board of Adjustments.
1041 AAZARD REVIEW
Geologic: The geologic concerns on the property consist of slopes, avalanche aeeas, potentially unstable
slopes, mancos shale, rockfall aeeas and a geologic fault line.
Geologic Reports: According a 1999 Collins & Lampiris Geologic report the landslide areas and
hydrocompactive soils can be mitigated by grading and designing landscaping to keep ground water away
from proposed structures. The road can best avoid geologic hazards by minimizing the amount of cufand-
fill during construction and implementing proper design to avoid erosion and potential mudslides.
In a report by the Colorado Geologic Survey, drafted in February of 2001, there are substantial concerns
with swelling soils and erosion. The report indicated that thinning of vegetation may add to this hazard and
that structures on the property should be placed to minimize the need for wildfire vegetation removal It was
suggested that cut-and-fill slopes steeper than 3H: 1 V and/or greater than five feet in height be evaluated by
a geotechnical engineer before any construction on the property is initiated. Due to proximity to an existing
fault line, construction should be done using seismic zone II UBC guidelines.
30% Slopes: It appeazs to Staff that the Applicant will not be able to meet Pitkin County driveway grade
standards without encroaching onto slopes of 30% or greater. The applicant has proposed a building
envelope that contains slopes greater than 30 % as well. Since Code Section 3-80-050 (C.) prohibits
development on 30% or greater slopes, Staff recommends that the Hearing Officer deny this application.
Wildfire: Vince Urbina of the Colorado State Forest Service visited the site and rated the property and
building envelope as severe wildfire hazard due to the density of shrubs. Code section 380-070 (A) states
that development in severe wildfire areas is prohibited, thus, Staff recommends that the Heazing Officer
deny this application.
Wildlife: The property has been mapped for mule deer winter range, severe winter range, winter
concentration and critical habitat. The property has also been mapped for elk winter range and winter
concentration. Jonathan Lowsky, the Pitkin County Wildlife Biologist visited the site and verified that
development on this site would have significant impacts on mule deer habitat. Development within said
wildlife azeas is prohibited pursuant to Code Section 3.80-080 (B).
GENERAL SUBMISSION (3-110)
Access: Staff has concluded that the driveway will not be able to meet Pitkin County driveway grade
standazds without encroaching onto 30% slopes.
Utilities: The Applicant proposes burying utilities underground along the approved access road alignment.
I
Water and Sewer: The Applicant has proposed an individual well and septic system for any future
development on the property.
RECOMMENDATION: The proposed building envelope contains high wildfire hazazd and steep slopes
in excess of 30%. The applicant has not adequately demonstrated a driveway design that will not encroach
on slopes of 30% or greater. The site is encumbered by elk and mule deer winter concentration and mule
severe winter range. Code sections 3-80-050 (C.), 3-80-070 (A.) and 3-80-80 (B) require denial of this
application, therefore, Staff recommends that the Hearing Officer deny this application.

!,
FrancisPlease submit this letter with any application to Pitkin County. When I receive. a referral from
the ccunty I will defer to the comments contained ir, this letter.
I visited the site with the owner and Francis Krizmanich the owner's representative on June
15"'. Access to the parcel is via the Stone Road iri the Terliamis Tracts This particular lot is one, of
the last lots at the upper end of Stone Road. At the time of our sde visit access to the budding site
was still in uestion but we did look at several alternatives. All three access road alternatives
q
present the same wildfire,hazard problems; avoiding steep grades passing through severe wildfire)
hazard rated fuels and the fact that this wdl be the last house at the end of the road I know that the

ownerwill work to find the best altemaUve. The only recommendation I would `make to help
alleviate the wildfire problems would be to incorporate tumouts info the driveway. The standard for;,
tumouts is the person who uses one needs to able to see to the next one i
The building envelope has a northwest aspect with a slope of 10 20%. The existing
vegetation consists of Gambel oak/seryiceberry, grass and assorted perennials. I would rate the
wildfire hazard as severe because of the shrub density. However incorporating defensible thinning
can lower the severe ,hazard rating My recommendations to'lower tiie wildfire hazard and
incorporate defensible space are as follows. '
1) For a distance of 10 feet around all structures establish and maintain vegetation at 6 inches or
less. This vegetation can be mowed grass, perennials or any combination of noncombustible ~,
mulches. In addition flammable matenal (e.g., firewood) should not be stored here.
~„ ~ ~ ... M
2) For a minimum distance, of 40 feet uphill and to the sides and 60 feet downhill thin and clump
existing shrubs. The specifications for this thinning are described in the Pitkin County Land Use
Code Section 3-80.7.C.3. Becauserof the remoteness of this property lengthening the downhill
v .,.,,~- ...~ . <,,. ,_ , _
distance of defensible, space would be .prudent.
3) With this house being at the end of the road it would also be prudent to incorporate some fire ',
resistive construction techniques like a metal roof and 1-hour fire resistant siding. The owner
y ~ ~~ ~w
ma want to mco orate other fire resistive structural features descnbed in the code i.e., wlndo

aerial observation over the last 10 years. The County Land Use Code prohibits development in ~
severe winter range and winter concentration areas. Given the fad that I visited the site in mid
winter with snow coverage and Kevin's familiarity of the site, I defer to his knowledge on this. Mr.

impacts on the mule deer that depend on the winter habitat for survival

SUBJECT: Brackett 1041 Hazard Review
DATE: April 19, 2001
The proposed Brackett home site is within mapped elk winter range, an elk winter concentration area,
mule deer critical habitat, winter range, severe winter range, and a winter concentration area. Typical
field indicators for field verification of the habitat use described above include vegetational community
(e.g., oak-serviceberry, mountain sage, or pinon-juniper dominance), degree and history of browse on
preferred forage species, tracks, scat, elevation, depth of snow (if in winter), and aspect (e.g. southeast to
southwest facing). The proposed building envelope in the Brackett application is located on a mountain'
sage dominated and relatively flat bench witk a getieral northerly aspect. The slopes surrounding the
proposed home site are dominated by oak and serviceberry that show only moderate sign of browse and''.
often exceed six feet in height. At the time of my site visit, March 13th, there was a significant snowpack
on the site. Based upon these field indicators it was not my belief that the site was used as severe winter
range, winter concentration areas, or critical habitat by mule deer or elk. My site evaluation suggested
that the site was likely used as winter range in a light winter and as migration habitat as animals move '',
between summer and winter ranges. Kevin Wright, however, is adamant that these mapped habitat areas
are active and that he has verified them is aerial observation over the last 10 years. The County Land Use
Code prohibits development in severe winter range and winter concentration areas. Given Mr. Wright's
familiarity of the site, I defer to his knowledge on this. Mr. Wright hasinformed me that, in no uncertain
terms, development of this site will have significant impacts on the mule deer that depend on the winter
habitat for survival
If the development application is approved the following conditions should be applied to minimize
impacts to wildlife:
1. Dogs should be prohibited as per §3-80.080(B)(5) of the Pitkin Countyland Use Code.
2. Native vegetation must be maintained outside the building envelope as per §3-80.080(A)(3) of the
Pitkin County Land Use Code.
3. All utilities should be buried.
5. Compliance with the 2001 Wildlife Protection Ordinance regarding waste storage. Verification of
this condition should be required prior to issuance. of a certificate of occupancy.
6. Livestock (including horses) should be prohibited on the property.
Residential development shall be clustered outside of habitat areas to the maximum extent

Brian, I have reviewed the. appiigtion and have the following comments: ',
1) From the appiipnYs submittal, it appears that the proposed drives
cross slopes of 30% or greater. This is not in compliance with the Pitkin
.County Land. Use Code.
2) The amount of information submitted was not sufficient to make a
determination if the geometric design of the road meets county standards.
It appears that the radii of some. of the curves may not meet our standards.
Also, the length of tangents between switchbacks does not meet out code.
3) There needs to be additional information provided on the roadway
drainage.
4) The applicanfi should commit to join the road maintenance assodaton for
the development.

Dear Mr. Krizmanich:
RE: BRACKETTPROJECT,THECROWN, WEST
SOPRIS CREEK, PTTKIN COUNTY
I have completed my geologic investigation of the subject property with regard to House Bill 1041.
I find that the property includes a mapped inactive landslide,' and the proposed building envelope and ~,
all proposed access road routes are located onpotentially-swelling and otherwise potentially-unstable
Marcos Shale. The water table and instability hazards presented by the landslide can be eliminated ',
by avoiding construction on the s&de material The hazards present by Marcos Shale can be ~,
mitigated by proper engineering, construction, and. drainage.
~^, The property is located on the north slope of the feature known locally as "The Crown," the ridge
running generally east-west between West Sopris Creek and the Roaring Fork River west-southwest.
of Emma. The proposed building envelope is at and above the break in slope between the
multicolored cliffs of the Permian-Triassic State Bridge Formation (grayish-red), the Triassic Chinle
Formation (deep red), the Jurassic Entrada Sandstone (white) and MorrisonFormation (varicolored),
and the Cretaceous Burro Canyon Formation and Dakota Sandstone (buffto white), and the gentler
slopes of the Cretaceous. Mancos .Shale sweeping up to the ridge line, which southwest of the
property is capped by a Quaternary. basalt flow but immediately south is Marcos as well .The
sediments dip fairly steeply to the southwest in the area of the. property. Surface materials consist
of shallow to moderately-deep clayey soils with varying amounts of (mostly) weathered Dakota
Sandstone and basalt.: The drainage that originates in a modest bowl north of the ridge and runs
generally northerly through the property is the location of a small and apparently-inactive landslide.
The property spans the upper part of the slide and the ridge west of the drainage. The proposed
building envelope occupies. this ridge which is fairly steep on its east side facing the drainage but
gently sloping to the northwest and west where the building site is located. Access is proposed by
any one of three general routes from the existing subdivision road on the ridgeline down the slope to
the property.
At present neither the building envelope nor any of the access road options includes construction on 'I
the landslide. The landslide. appearsto be very old and inactive, and could probably be built on with ',

thorough soil testing, including the identification of slip planes to bedrock, and proper drainage.
Special Gaze would be required along the mazgins of the slide.
The potential hazards of construction on Marcos Shale and soils denved from it are well known ana

include its potential for swelling; instability, especially where wet; drainage problems resulting from
the impervious nature of the rock, its lack of potable groundwater; and the corm
water the formation does contain. The, lowex part of the Marcos contains the slue nature of what
bentonite and is thus most prone to swelling. The proposed building envelope is greatest amount of
. mapped in this part
ofthe Marcos. Thorough soil testing and analysis and foundation design and construction based on
the results will therefore be required. Final grading and landscaping must be designed fo keep surface
and ground water away fromthe structure, and plants, including grass, requiring irrigafionin addition
to natural precipitation should not be planted where. irrigation water could affect the foundation..... ~
All of the access road options will require cuts and fills in the. Marcos Shale or in soils derived, from,.
it. Generally speaking, the lowest gradient route with the minimum amount ofcut-and-fill would be i
_._ ,
the most desirable. Specific route selecion~shouid avoid any existing slumps and to the extent
possible steeper slope azeas where final cut slope angles would exceed 3:1. In all cases drainage must
be cazefiilly designed to avoid ponding of water in ditches along the uphill side, road and fill erosion,
and so on. A qualified civil engineer experienced inroad construction. on Marcos Shale should be , ~ _
engaged for final route selection and road design, engineering, and construction. ~
The property is not exposed to rocktall, snow avalanche, debris flow, or debris avalanche hazards.
Proper road design will avoid erosion and potential minor mudflow hazards to which the road might
be exposed depending on final location. There has been no known mining in the area so mine-related
subsidence should not be a hazard The Eagle Valley Evaporite is almost certainly present but at its
,.N .. ~.w..,,
probable depth of 2,000 ft or more should not present a solution subsidence hazard. Olander, et al. ',
(1974), map a fault with significant displacement trending north-south about 500 ft west of the
building envelope. This faun is mapped as cutting both the east end of the Quaternary basalt cap of
The Crown and. Quaternary landslide and other unconsolidated deposits further north... While the ~~ _ _
latter may be more erosional than structural, at least the former suggests more recent movement than...
along most faults in the region, although movement within hundreds or even thousands. of years is
not indicated. Because of the proximity of the proposed building envelope to the fault, construction i
of habitable structures should. be in accordance with UBC guidelinesfor Seismic Zone:11.
Potable water may be available from the Dakota Sandstone; based on Olander's map it should be
present within 200 ft ofthe surface oaths building envelope. Water obtained &omthe Dakota should... ~
be tested for the presence of radioactivity, as uranium and other radioactive minerals occasionally
occur in the formation. Assuming typical percolation characteristics of Mancos Shale soils and i
weathered bedrock on the site, waste. disposal should be,possible through the use of a standard septic
system with a leach field, although the leach field may require site-specific engineering. The Pitkin
County Sanitation Engineer should be consulted. for his specific recommendations.
The Mancos Shale and soils derived from it are not known to contain significant radioactive minerals,
but the Dakota Sandstone, Burro Canyon Formation, and Morrison Formation, immediately below ',
occasionally do contain these materials; therefore structures should be designed to preclude the
accumulation of radon gas.

Re: Brackett 1041 Hazard Review, CGS PI-01-0003
Dear Mr. Preston:
Thank you for the submittal of plans for the above referenced proposal. The proposal is for the
construction of an access road and single-family residence on approximately 48 acres. The site contains
slopes that range from approximately 8 to 80 percent. The building site contains Gambel oak and other
native shrubs and grasses. The plans show four proposed routes of access to the building envelope.
According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey of Aspen-Crypsum Area, Colorado.
Colorado, the majority. of the site and proposed access routes are underlain by loam soils that are derived
from sandstone and shale. The survey indicates the site contains swelling soils and that runoff is rapid and
erosion is a severe hazard. The soil erodibility factor (K) listed in the soil survey indicates that the soils
have a moderate erodibility at current conditions. However; when vegetation and organic matter is
removed, the erodibility of the soil greatly increases and the soils become. highly erodible. It will be
important that existing vegetation be maintained to the extent possible. Severe erosion' can cause slope
stability concerns as well as impact water quality. Detailed grading, erosion, and sediment control plans
should be required before any construction.
The Colorado State Forest Service indicates that portions of the site contains severe wildfire hazazds and
recommends defensible space thinning. In order to reduce possible erosion from the removal of
vegetation, it may be prudent to locate structures faz enough away from shrubs such that extensive
thinning is not requued. If turnouts are required, as recommended by the forest service, they should be
placed where the least amount of grading is required.
The preliminary geologic report, done by Collins & Lampiris, indicates that the site contains landslides,
potentially unstable slopes, faults and swelling soils and/or bedrock. The report states that proper
engineering, construction, and drainage can mitigate the potential hazards. However, the report is
preliminary in nature and does not adequately address potential impacts from construction. The site
contains steep slopes that are prone to landslides and mass wasting. Access road alternative #I crosses a
mapped fault that could contain especially unstable rock and/or soil. Grading of the access road and
building pads may result in large cut and fill slopes that may also not be stable. Construction plans were
not available so it is difficult to determine impacts from the proposed development
It ma be rodent for the coon to re uire that the. stabili
y p ty q ty of all cut and fill slopes steeper than 3H: 1 V
and/or greater than five feet in height be evaluated by a geotechnical engineer before any construction...
Construction of the access road and building pad may be require retaining structures and/or other
mitigation measures that may have additional impacts that the coupty may wish to consider.

The preliminary geologic report recommends that because the structure will be located adjacent to a fault; ',
construction should be done using seismic zone II UBC guidelines. If not already provided for within the
Pitkin Building Code, the county may wish to make such a provision a condition of approval. Asite-
specific foundation and soil investigation should be done for each structure prior issuance of building I
permits. '
The site contains potential geologic hazazds and constraints that should be considered cazefully in the
land use process. Detailed additional investigation, plans, and analyses will need to be done in order to
ensure that the site can be developed as proposed. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact me. I can be reached at 303.894.2080 or by email at karen.bem~state.co.us.

Matt Thorpe is the officer for that area now and he should have been. the one
to receive the application. I never received it. I did go on site with the I
proponent before matt got on district. It is a valuable piece of habitat as
I explained to the proponent at the time. It is north facing but is the only
lot on that side of the ridge and ih the basin. The BLM exchanged the lot
above it some years ago but never did exchange this one for some reason.
This would be a good lot for exchange. A homesite will impact the basin
where there are no impacts from homes now - as it is all public land except
for at the. bottom. A home here will greatly impact ability to do habitat I
improvements such as prescribed burning. It is heavily used by deer and elk ',
but it depends greatly on snow depth.

ItE: Brackett parcel
Dear Brian:
For T~ldlife- ',
Far People ',
The building envelope for this parcel lies within elk winter range and critical habitat. The entire envelope ',
and parcel, however, are not critical habitat. Much of the vegetation is larger, taller and more robust,
indicating that snow depth may preclude much use within hard winters. However, the more southerly
exposed portion of the building envelope does show signs of sub~antial browsing and use by mule deer
and elk. The sagebrush, bitterbnuh, and serviceberry are all clubbed and much smaller than in
surrounding areas: hi' addition, black bear are found on the parcel as well as a variety of small mammals
and birds. ~ r s 3~.. ,. _ ,_. ,.. - ~ _ _ __,
... ~ , ; , ; .. ,_„ ,, ..;. . .'rte r t Ica,: ~ ~ ,.~t ~ t}o °b°: ,.
TJus parcel is part of an important winter range called `°The Crown". The Crown is one of just a few fairly
large public land critical winter ranges and it winters a'substantial number of elk and mule deer. The
Brackett parcel is adjacent to BLM and is the only parcel to my knowledge on the north side of the ridge ''
witlun the large basin. The rema;ning private parcels are on the south side ofthe ridge. Placement of a
home on this parcel will negatively impact the entire basin. on the north side of the ridge. Gtitrrently all of
the disturbance associated with homeshes is located. on the south side of the ridge and does not impact
wildlife on the north side. Below the parcel is a pond, which was improved specifically for wildlife. Above
this pond are some aspen stands, which do contain. elk production in some years. It is important to
maintain the integrity of the north side of the ridge for wildlife. During the winter it becomes more of a
solitude area away from human disturbance factors, which is so important for wintering wildlife for
energy conservation.
Development of this parcel will adversely impact our ability to improve habitat. conditions through the use
ofprescn'bed fire. Prescribed fire is an important tool which has been used in the past on the Crown for
habitat improvement. I would recommend. and support the acquisition of this parcel for open space. ff the
parcel is developed; the following recommendationstyill help to minimise impacts to wildlife:
1. use 'as small ofbuilding envelope as absolutely necessary - I
2. keep home on the southern most end of the envelope adjacent to the fenceline in order to keep
'' disturbance from encroaching'any further onto the Crown
"3. small'buitding footprint wouldbe preferable ` "

4. use natural colors for the home to blend it in with the surrounding area
5. maintain native vegetation outside the building envelope
6. any caretaker unit be attached; no accessory structures
7. no livestock, horses, domestic fowl
8. all trash be kept in approved beaz proof garbage containers. Home also be designed with a
cooling system other than open windows in order to help prevent human bear encounters
where the bear. enters the home through open screens and doors. I would also encourage the
use of trash compactors
9. no perimeter fencing other than around the building envelope. If fencing is allowed it needs to',
be wildlife friendly.
10. No dogs
11. Use of down lighting
12. Revegetate any disturbed azeas, including along the access drive, with native vegetation with
implementation of a weed management program
13. No fruit, berry, or nut producing shrubs or trees be used in the landscape plan in order to
min;m;~e an attractant for black bears. _
14. Owners be provided with brochures on living with wildlife
Owners will also need to be awaze that they are building within important wildlife habitat and
human/wildlife conflicts will arise. They will need to take responsibility for where the chose to live. The ',
Crown is also a very popular hunting location and there will be big game hunters hunting throughout the
Crown and adjacent to their property. The Crown is also part of a cattle allotment and cattle will graze on
the land adjacent to their property.

Dana C. Brackett, the Applicant, requests approval to develop a new home-site on a 48,485 acre
property known as Parcel No. 15, West Sopris Ranch (aka "Terliamis Tracts").
The property is affected by 1041 Hazards including mapped mule deer and elk habitats, geologic',
hazards including steep slopes and Mancos shale and WldSre. The property is also included
within the Scenic Overlay because a mapped Ridgeline bisects the property.In consideration of '',
these issues the Applicant has chosen a development envelope that substantially avoids these !,
Hazards.
The following application has attempted to address all of the Land Use Code requiremerns and
issues raised by the Planning Staff. If additional information is required in the course of this

response to those criteria follow: _ ~~
E. Review criteria for development within the Scenic Overlay and mapping shall
be as follows:
14
1. Whether the proposed development has utilized,gaisting topography and
natural vegetation, such as ridges and hills to screen buildings to the maximum..
extent possible.
RESPONSE; The proposed Development Envelope is located as far. as possible
from the designated ridge-line. The driveway will cross the ridge at a natural low
point and gradually descend to the home-site. Existing mature vegetation and the
Applicant's commitment to re-vegetate disturbed areas will. also help to minimize
visual impacts.
2. Whether the proposed development has been designed to complement the
natural topography of the (and, including whenever possible and`appropr~ate,
I,
the utilization ,of innovative architectural techniques such as earth sheltered I
n~,..w
design, natural materials and coloring, non-reflectablity and clustering of
structures on the least visible portions of the site.
RESPONSE: The Development Envelope and driveway alignment are dictated by
topographical constraints, particularly steep slopes. Non-reflective building materials
and natural colors will. be used. to blend with the landscape.
3. Whether the proposed. developments height and bulk has been designed to
avoid, to the maaimum extant possible, the visibility of buildings from the
highway and public viewplanes.
RESPONSE: The Development Envelope is located at least wo miles from..
F-Tighway 82 and cannot be seenfrom any designated public view-planes.

4. The proposed structure shall be placed so it does. not.break a r'-dgeline, unless
there are no alternate budding sites on the lot.
RESPONSE: The residence may break the ridge-line if viewed from some locations;
_w.. ~,~ .
however, a review of the site. plan shows that there are no alternate building sites on
the lot.
5. Whether the proposed development has avoided. the locat-on of uses on the,
highest ground or most visible portion: of the site as viewed from State Highway
82 and public rights-of--way, identified in Section (B)(1) above. '
I
e"~ RESPONSE; The proposed development envelope is located on the only azea of the
property suitable for development. The road has been designed to follow the natural
topography to minimize the view from,Highway 82 as much as possible. Any
exposed areas will be_re-vegetated to minimize visual impacts.
6. Whether the proposed development has been located outside,of the designated
Scenic Overlay, or on a suitable site at the greatest possible distance from State_
Highway 82 and identified ridgeHnes.
RESPONSE: A: significant portion of the property is located within the mapped
ridge-line; therefore, it is not possible to avoid development within this azea. The II
driveway will cross the ridge aY a low point to minimize anyvisible ridgeline impact.
7. Whether the proposed development has been landscaped. in accordance with
16
the adopted State Highway 82 Corridor landscape guidelines and. has,
preserved natural vegetation, to the maximum extant possible, including the
avoidance of development within irrigated meadows.. Existing vegetation shall
be maintained to the ,maximum extent possible, while utilizing existing
vegetation to screen'development. Alandscaping plan shall be submitted by the
Applicant. and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
RESPONSE; The property does not contain any irrigated meadows.. The Applicant
will prepare a re-vegetation plan for disturbed areas..
8. Whether the proposed development's exterior lighting has beendesigned in
such a manner that light sources, such as fagade and landscape lighting, will
not be seen from public rights-of--way as identified in Section (B)(1). In
addition, an application shall be consistent with: the lighting regulations...

identified in the Pitkin County Land Use Code..
RESPONSE: Lighting is proposed to comply with the Pitkin County Lighting
Standards. The Applicant commits to prohibit ornamental landscape lighting and to
only use outside lighting to the extent necessary for. safety.
9. Landforms and earthmovfng shall generapy not be acceptable as the sole i
measure of compliance with these regulations. However, they may be used in
I
conjunction with other site techniques designed into"the development plan.
These methods may be acceptable when utilized as one yf several methods to

RESPONSE: The development is not located within. any designated Scenic View-
plane.
il. In the case where 1041 hazard areas may be in conflict with preservation of
scenic areas, the Board acknowledges that 1041 issues take precedence over
scenic concerns. These issues shall, be reviewed on acase-by-case-basis.
RESPONSE: The Development Envelope and driveway have been designed to
avoid steep slopes in excess of 30°/a as much,as possible as required by the Code and
to minimize the disturbance of natural vegetation and wildlife habitat, In some
locations the new road. may be visible from ll"ighway 82; however, it is the
Applicant's opinion that the proposed alignment represents the best compromise
between the avoidance of 1041. Hazard Areas apd, the preservation of scenic quality.

1) For a distance often feet around. all structures establish and maintain vegetation at 6
inches or less. This vegetation can be mowed grass, perennials or any combination of
non-combustible mulches. In addition, flammable material (e.g., firewood) should not
be stored here.
2) For a minimum distance;of 40=feet„uphill and to the sides and; 60,feet downhill thin _
and clump existing shrubs. The specifications for this thinning are described in the ~'
PitkinCounty Land Use Code Section 3-80.7.C.3. Because of the remoteness of this
_ ~w .~~ ..~,~ ._w _~ property lengthening the downhill distance of defensible pace would be prudent.
3) With this house being at the end of the road it would also be prudent to incorporate
some fire resistive construction techniques like a metal roof and 1-hour fire resistive
siding. The owner may want to incorporate other fire resisfive structural features. '~
described in the Code (i.e., window glazing).

by avoiding construction on the slide mateitiaL The, hazards present liy Mancos Shale can be_

The property is located on the. north slope of the feature known locally as "'The Crowq" the ridge ',

of Emma.. The proposed building envelope is at and above thebreak in slope between the ~,
multicolored cliffs of the Permian-Triassic, State Bridge Fornation (grayish-red), the Triassic Chinle ~

and the Cretaceous Burro Canyon Formation and Dakota Sandstone (buffto white), and the gentler
slopes of the Cretaceous Marcos Shale swee ' u to the nd a Lne, wluMancos as well. The

sediments dip fairly steeply to the southwest in the area of the property. Surface materials consist.. ~
of shallow to moderately-deep clayey soils with varying amounts of (mostly) weathered Dakota i
Sandstone and basalt. The drainage that originates in a modest bowl north of the'ridge'and runs
generally northerly through the property is the location of a small anct apparently-inactive landslide.
The property spans the upper part of the slide and the ridge west of the drainage. The proposed ~
building envelope occupies this ridge which is fairly steep on its east side facing the drawage but
gently sloping to the"northwest and west where thg building site is located. Access is proposed by ',
airy one of three general routes from the. existing subdivision road on the ridgeline down the slope to
the property.
At present neither the building envelope nor any ofthe accessroad o tions includes construction on '
the landslide. The landslide appears to be very old and inactive, and could probably be built on with ~',

ofthe Marcos. Thorough soil testing and. analysis and foundation design and construction based on ~
the results will therefore be required. Final grading and landscaping must be designed to keep surface

All of the access road options will require cuts and fills in the Marcos Shale or in oils denved from
it. Generally speaking, the lowest-gradient route with the nvnmum amount of cut and fill would be

the most desirable. Specific route selection should avoid any existing slumps and to the extent
possible steeper slope areas where final cut slope angles would exceed 31. In all cases drainage must
be carefully designed to avoid ponding of water in ditches along the uphill side, road and fill erosion,
and so on. A qualified civil engineer experienced in road construction on Marcos Shale should be

The property is not exposed to rockfall, snow avalanche, debris flow, or debris avalanche hazards... ~
Proper road. design will avoid erosion and potential minor mudflow hazards to which the, road might
Ue exposed depending on final location. There has been no known mining in the area so mine-related
subsidence should. not be a hazard. The Eagle Valley Evaporite is ahnost certainly present but at its
probable depth of 2,000 ft or more should not present a solution subsidence hazard. Olander, et al.
(1974), map a fault with significant displacement.. trending north-south about. 500 ft west of the.
building envelope. This fault is mapped as cutting both the east end of the Quaternary basalt cap of ~,
The Crown and Quaternary landslide and other unconsolidated deposits fiirther north. While the
latter may be more erosional than structural, at least the former suggests more recent movementthan_ ~
along most faults in the region, although movement,within hundreds or even thousands of years is
not indicated. Because of the proximity of the proposed building envelope. to the fauh, construction ~!,
of habi4able structures should be in accordance with UBC guidelines for Seismic Zone II. i
Potable water may be available. from the Dakota Sandstone; based on Olander's_map it should be
present within 200 ft ofthe surface onthe building envelope. Water. obtained fromthe Dakota should
be tested. for the presence of radioactivity, as uranium and other radioactive minerals occasionally
occur in the formation. Assuming typical percolation characteristics. of Marcos Shale, soils and,
i
weathered bedrock on the site, waste disposal should be possible through the use of a standard septic
system with a leach field, although the leach field may require. site-specific engineering. The Pitkin ~I
County Sanitation Engineershould be consulted for his specific recommendations....
The Marcos Shale and soils derived from it are not lcpown to contain significant radioactive minerals,
a_„-. ~-~ ~~ _.,
but the Dakota Sandstone, Burro Canyon Formation, and Morrison Formation immediately below
..occasionally do contain these .materials; therefore structures should. be designed to preclude the
accumulation of radon gas.

Re: Brackett 1041 Wildfire Hazard Review ~I
Francis,
Please submit this letter, with any application to Pitkin County. When I receive a referral from
the county I with defer to the comments contained ir~,this letter
. ,
I visited the site with the owner and Franck Knzmanich the owner's representative on June
15`h. Access to the parcel is via the Stone' Road in the Terliamis Tracts ~ This particular lot is one c~f
the last lots at the upper end of Stone Road. Atthe time of our site pisit access to the building site,
was still in question but we did look at several alternatives. All three,access,road alternatives
. ,~•..._ ,.._w. __.,
present the samewildfire hazard problems; avoiding steep grades, passing through severe wildfire
hazard rated fuels and the fact that this will_be the last house at the end of the road I know that tf~e
,m. ,,.... _ _ ..,,e, a..~ . n..~..- ,
owner will work to find the best alternative,., ,The only recommendation I would make to help
alleviate the wildfire problems would be to incorporate turnouts into the driveway. The standard for',
turnouts is the person who uses one needs to able to see to„the next one.
~^*, The building envelope has a northwest aspect with a slope of 10-20%. The existing
vegetation consists of Gambel oak/se'rviceterry, grass and assorted perennials. I would rate the
wildfire hazard as severe because of the yshrub,~density. However',. incorporating defensible thinnin
can lower the severe hazard rating. My recommendations to lower the wildfire hazard and
incorporate defensible space are as follows.
1) For a distance of 10 feet around all stnactures establish and maintain vegetation at 6 inches or I,
less. This vegetation can be mowed grass, perennials or any combination of noncombustible.. ~
mulches. In addition flammable material, (e.g., firewood) should not be stored here.
2) For a minimum distance of 40 feet uphill and to the sides and 60 feet downhill thin and clump
existing shrubs. The specifications for this thinning are described in the Pitkin County Land Use
Code Section 3-80.7.C.3. Because of the remoteness of this.property lengthening the downhill ~
distance of defensible spacewbould be'prudent. ~
3) With this house being at the. end of the road it would also be prudent to incorporate some fire ',
resistive construction techniques like a metal roof and 1-hour fire. resistant siding. The owner ',
may want to incorporate otherfire resistive structural features described in',the code (i.e., window
glazing).
4) Remove all deadfall within 140 feet o_f all_struCtures. _ __,

initial deposit and to thereafter permit additional costs to be,billed,to APPLICANT on a
monthly basis. APPLICANT agrees be will be benefited by retaining greater cash '
liquidity and will make additional payments upon notification by the COUNTY when
they are necessary as costs are incurred. COUNTY agrees it will be benefited through
the greater certainty of recovering its. full costs to process APPLICANT'S. application.
4. COUNTY and APPLICANT further agree that it is impracticable for
COUNTY staff to complete processing or present sufficient information to the Planning
Commission and/or Board of County Commissioners to enable the Planning Commission
and/or Board of county commissioners to make legally required findings for project
approval, unless current billings are paid in full. prior to decision.
~ 'i
a~""* _
5. Therefore APPLICANT. agrees that in consideration of the COUNTY'S
waiver of its righf to collect full fees prior to a determination of application
completeness, APPLICANT shall pay an initial deposit in the amount of $ which
is for hours of Planning staff time, and if actual recorded costs exceed the initial
deposit, ALLICANT shall. pay additional monthly billings to C0Y7NT1' to'reimburse
the COUNTY for the process of the-application mentioned above, including post
approval review. Such periodic payments shall be made within 30 days of the APPLICANT
date. APPLICANT further agrees that failure 4o pay such accrued costs shall be grounds
for suspension of processing: ',
