Mr. Balnicki stated that the people in the neighborhood are concerned about the traffic. The property owned by Granby Ranch has three means of access. The use of Tract D would allow a fourth access. The neighbors do not want that additional road. They would like to keep the tract as open space.

Tom Hale, representing Granby Ranch, provided the Board with maps of the area. (Copies of the documents were not made available for the public meeting file.) Mr. Hale stated that it would be difficult to create a road on that tract because of the terrain. Any decision that is made should include the County, the town of Granby, the Homeowners Association, and Granby Ranch. Mr. Hale added that the town has an interest in preserving multiple accesses to the property.

County Manager Underbrink Curran stated that Grand County holds title to Tract D. This property is in close proximity to Granby. The Board of Commissioners needs to meet with the town of Granby before any decision is made.

Scott Penson, Chief Building Official, presented pictures of the crow’s-nest at the Flying Heels Arena. Work is currently being performed on the stock watering system.

Planning and Zoning Matters

The following is all or part of Planning’s weekly report as it was provided by staff for inclusion in the minutes of the meeting held on May 15, 2007.

Cingular: Representative met with staff to discuss tower location in WPR. Stated that towers are not permitted in Residential Zone, and tried to discuss other options (i.e., collocate with Verizon at existing site, find a location in Fraser that is “higher” and could provide even better coverage).

Grand County Compost Study: RTW has completed the draft study. Copies were distributed to GC Landfill, R&B, and all wastewater treatment plants (municipal, district, and private). Comments were received from GC Landfill (attached). In summary, they recommend aerated static piles for a future process. According to RTW, the current landfill parcel appears to have adequate area for any of the facility. RTW will use confirm the siting in the next month, once we have the updated aerial photography. RTW has recommended the aerated static pile process, although the most labor intensive, it has the lowest capital, O&M costs, and second to the highest land requirements. The report provides conceptual planning information if and when the BOCC expands the current landfill operation to include this process. There are advantages to composting (landfill space, reduction in trucking of sludge product out of the county, re-useable product, source for pine beetle diseased trees), albeit at a significant investment. Expect a final report to be submitted by late June 2007.

Area of Concern Aerated Static Piles Windrow In-Vessel Process Area Required 1.2 A 3.5 A 1.0 Buffer Area Required 5.0 A 7.5 A 5.0 Total Area Required 6.2 A 11.0 A 6.0

Total Capital Costs * $6,254,000. $14,396,000. $8,427,000. Annual O&M Costs $ 128,900. $ 181,800. $ 162,600.

* Includes 35% contingencies, and 15% engineering (design and construction engineering)

USACOE: Received draft Interim Report Supplement to USACOE Wetland Delineation Manual for Western Mountains, Valley and Coast Region. Includes more detail on sampling, and mapping of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Nick Meizi said it will not impact CR 522 (FVP) permit review.

USFS: Draft letter prepared to provide comment on the Motor Vehicle Use Map. Any comment?

Spectrum Townhomes Subdivision Sketch Plan Lot 3, Block 3 First Filing Winter Park Ranch

The following is all or part of staff’s Certificate of Recommendation to the Board as it was provided by staff for inclusion in the minutes of the meeting held on May 15, 2007.

RE: Spectrum Townhomes Subdivision Sketch Plan APPLICANT: Spectrum Developments Inc, represented by Stephen Cross, and prepared by Carroll & Lange, represented by Chris Birkmeyer LOCATION: Lot 3, Block 3, Winter Park Ranch, First Filing STAFF CONTACT: Debra A. Campbell Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting – Grand County, Colorado May 15, 2007 Page 9 of 17

REQUEST: The Applicant is requesting Sketch Plan approval of a twenty (20) unit townhome subdivision, located at Lot 3, Block 3, Winter Park Ranch Subdivision.

DISCUSSION The Applicant owns the property (parcel # 158721203008) proposed for the twenty unit tonwhome subdivision. The property is located at the intersection of Mulligan and Spruce, in Winter Park Ranch, Filing 1. A single family residence is currently located on the 2.49 acre parcel. It will be demolished as part of thisproject. The sketch plan application proposes twenty (20) units, consisting of six (6) duplex, and four (4) quad plex units, platted as townhomes s under the Grand County Subdivision Regulations, sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3. Staff has reviewed the application’s compliance with the Grand County Subdivision Regulations, Master Plan, the Grand County Road and Bridge Standards and the Grand County Stormwater Drainage Design Criteria Manual to evaluate its technical merits to availability of utilities, site access, and the apparent suitability of the site for the proposed multi-family subdivision.

GRAND COUNTY APPROVAL

The Applicant provided a new site plan to the Planning Commission that corrected the open space calculation, and provided 60% open space. Upon further review and discussion, the Planning Commission disagreed with Staff’s recommendation. The Commission voted to recommend approval of the Spectrum Townhome Sketch Plan application. They believed that the applicant had provided adequate evidence at the April 18, 2007 meeting that he could comply with the Open Space required. The Planning Commission went on to state, that if approved, that the revised site plan shall be submitted to staff prior to review by the Board of County Commissioners. Sally Blea agreed with Deb Campbell that complete submittals, submitted per the schedule, are important in the review process.

Motion made by Sally Blea and seconded by Ed Moyer. Commissioners Edwards, Blea, Palmer and Moyers voted to approve. Commissioner Gerrans voted to deny. The Chair did not vote.

The Planning Commission approved the Spectrum Townhouse Subdivision under Resolution No. 2007-4-3.

STAFF COMMENTS Overall Off-Site Development Impacts: Staff believes that other improvements are appropriate and necessary due to the amount of impacts from this, and other proposed development that access GCR 8. These improvements may be requested, and constructed at the “subdivider’s expense in and within such time and in conformance with such specifications as deeded necessary and appropriate by the Planning Commission” according to Article 3, Section 3.3.

Staff is concerned about the cumulative impact of multi-family development along GCR 8, and its impact to the existing road. The Board of County Commissioners has determined that impact fees are necessary and appropriate for improvements to GCR 8 and recapture fees of $480.56 per unit will be assessed for new development on GCR 8. The applicant did not provide a Traffic Impact Analysis with the Sketch Plan submittal; therefore, impact fees to off site impacts could not be analyzed.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Spectrum Townhouse Subdivision, and recommends that the following nineteen advisory conditions be required prior to or with the submittal of the preliminary plat:

Chris Birkmeyer, Stephen Cross, and Lola Merrill appeared before the Board.

The applicants had no questions or concerns.

Commissioner Bumgarner asked about the requirements for plat notes with regard to natural materials and ridgeline buildings under staff’s Condition 3. Planning Director Campbell replied that those are standard conditions for preliminary plats. County Manager Underbrink Curran added that harmonious designs in the areas that have the greatest visual impacts to the Fraser Valley are suggested in the Master Plan.

Chairman Newberry asked for public comments and received none.

Chairman Newberry stated that people want to know what is going on in their area. The County would like to have some type of physical posting at the actual location of the property as notification for the public along with the mailings. The applicants expressed concern about posting a sign and what the public’s perception would be.

Commissioner Bumgarner moved to approve the Spectrum Townhomes Subdivision Sketch Plan.

The motion passed unanimously.

Senator Wayne Allard’s Office Update

Courtney Staatz appeared before the Board.

Commissioner Bumgarner stated that the Commissioners are concerned about veterans and would like for them to be able to use the local medical facilities.

Commissioner Stuart stated that she would like people to receive a tax break on their health insurance as opposed to the proposed legislation taxing individuals for their insurance benefits. Ms. Staatz stated that Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting – Grand County, Colorado May 15, 2007 Page 12 of 17

Senator Allard supported Senate Bill 1955. She suggested that the Board talk with Constance Jones, with the Summit County Chamber.

The bark beetle bill is going to be introduced prior to Memorial Day. It will put measures in place for the next beetle outbreak.

Commissioner Stuart noted that CDOT is going to pay over $1 million for the work on the Highway 34 right-of- way near Grand Lake. She added that the local electric company is working with CDOT in the area as well.

The County has been copying the Senator on the County’s correspondence with the Bureau of Reclamation with regard to the operation of the Colorado Big Thompson Project and Senate Document 80. Chairman Newberry stated that the Board believes that Grand County and the West Slope are not being equally represented by the Bureau of Reclamation and that the Senator’s help might be needed with regard to the Bureau. The County has not yet asked that any elected official become involved.

Chairman Newberry stated that the County is concerned about the entire state and how water is being protected. It is not just an East Slope/West Slope fight. He stated that changes in the rivers and in the water quality are visible to the residents in the County.

Commissioner Bumgarner stated that he believes Senator Allard should talk with Northern. Northern will not necessarily talk with the County.

County Manager Underbrink Curran suggested that the Senator look at the letters the County has sent to the Bureau of Reclamation. She stated that approval without the oversight will happen by default due to the Bureau’s inability to run the East Slope’s facilities because staff has left. The County is at a disadvantage to try and request that things not be brought in by default.

Commissioner Stuart stated that she would like a flag from the capital building to put on the new court building.

Paul Geisendorfer asked about the gamma ray project. Ms. Staatz replied that it is moving forward. South Dakota and three other states are currently competing with Colorado. The other states do not yet have operable sites. The Henderson mine is already established, and the investment will be much less than the other states’.

With regard to the Rollins Pass Road, the County is still working on an agreement. There has been some discussion about another path. The boundary lines are not where they are supposed to be. A re-survey may be necessary.

Chairman Newberry stated that the Commissioners are concerned about assisted living and how it will be funded. There isn’t enough private pay. Moffat County has already had to shut down its assisted living due to funding.

The Board stated that mental health is a significant issue especially due to chemical and substance abuse. Treatment facilities and counselors are few and far between in the rural area. The EMS Chief has been working with Summit County on detox. Mr. Jennings added that there are problems with the detox due to funding and location. He stated that the closest detox facility is in Glenwood Springs, and the closest mental health facility is in Grand Junction.

Commissioner Stuart left the meeting at 11:40 a.m.

It was noted that there is a funding problem with the Older Americans Act. Chairman Newberry stated that the fastest growing segment of the County’s population is older.

Commissioner Bumgarner stated that he would applaud Senator Allard for taking two terms. Chairman Newberry would like to see Senator Allard stay in office. He has done a good job.

Board Business

EMS Chief Jennings stated that the recent household hazardous waste collection was a huge success. He would like to include the cost for the collection in the Emergency Management budget for next year and make it an Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting – Grand County, Colorado May 15, 2007 Page 13 of 17

annual event. Mr. Jennings that they were not able to collect some items such as CPUs, fluorescent bulbs, and explosives.
