  • Also Identified As an Amendment to the Zoning Plan
    MEMORANDUM TO: Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Mike Kraemer, Senior Planner RE: AR-2 Zone District Land Use Text Code Amendment DATE: September 5th, 2017 SUMMARY OF REQUEST: A “Special Events Venue” is a use that is currently prohibited in the Residential – 2 Acre (AR-2) Zone District. The Applicant has proposed to amend the Land Use Code to establish a “Special Events Venue” as a Special Review Use within the AR-2 Zone District. Since Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) review of the request, there has been a “substantial change” to the proposal that is required to be reviewed again by the P&Z prior to final decision by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Additionally, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S) Section 30-28-116, the requested amendment is also identified as an Amendment to the Zoning Plan. APPLICANT: Redstone Castle, LLC – Steve and April Carver REPRESENTATIVE: Glenn Horn BACKGROUND: The P&Z heard this request at a regularly scheduled meeting on March 28th, 2017 (Staff memo to P&Z, Attachment A). At this meeting, the P&Z adopted a motion to recommend approval of the proposed Land Use Code Text Amendment to establish a Special Events Venue as a Special Review Use in the AR-2 Zone District with the Staff recommended change to establish a 10 acre minimum lot size for a property to be eligible to request this designation. The purpose of establishing a 10 acre minimum lot size was based on the concept that larger acreage properties would have an advantage over smaller acreage properties to absorb potential impacts created by the Special Events Venue use.

  • Redstone Castle From
    Subject: Redstone Castle From: Deb Strom <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Susan McEvoy <[email protected]> Date Sent: Monday, August 13, 2018 9:49:21 AM GMT-06:00 Date Received: Monday, August 13, 2018 9:49:34 AM GMT-06:00 Dear BOCC, As the former GM of the Redstone Inn (1988 – 2008), I would like to voice my support for the Redstone Castle’s current land use applications. I am excited with the Castle owners, Steve and April Carver, willingness to allow public access to this historic treasure. I firmly believe that they will revitalize Redstone. As a board member of the Redstone Historical Society and former Castle Tour guide 2009 – 2017, I have witnessed firsthand the Carver’s commitment to the historic integrity of the Castle and their pledge to honor the Colorado Historical Foundation Deed of Conservation Easement. Their ownership is a dream come true after over a decade of neglect by the previous owner. As a homeowner in the Crystal River Park subdivision since 1994, I am embarrassed by the negativity of my neighbors that I feel unjustly oppose this application. Yes, there will be some music, as there was when Ken Johnson operated the Castle for almost 20 years, but it was very manageable. It is my sense that most of the vocal opposition is from new neighbors that have never have experienced a vibrant Redstone. As a member of the Redstone community for 30 years, I must emphasize that it's always the negative folks that are vocal. Please listen to the silent majority and seek the greater good for Crystal Valley's future -- Preserve - Protect - Enhance! My Best, Deborah Strom 151 Chair Mountain Dr., Redstone | 970-963-8113 1 / 1 Redstone Historical Society 295 Redstone Blvd.

  • Redstone Castle: How an Irs Tax Seizure Became a Preservation Success
    SUCCESS STORY Redstone Castle: How an IRS Tax Seizure Became a Preservation Success “The 1902 castle and estate, Redstone, Colorado also called Cleveholm Manor, represents a time in American history when empires were built during a nationwide drive toward industrialization.” — ColoRADO PRESERVATION, INC. THE STORY In the 1890s, John C. Osgood formed the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company and established a remarkably progressive company town called Redstone in Pitkin County, Colorado. For his workers, Osgood built more than 80 family cottages, all featuring electricity and up-to-date plumbing. He also provided a school, library, theater, a 40- room inn, club house, and modern bathhouse. For his wife and himself, Osgood built an opulent residence, the 42-room Cleveholm Manor, better known as Redstone Castle, situated on a 72-acre complex complete with greenhouse, servants’ quarters, carriage house, and gamekeeper’s lodge. Both the residence and the gamekeeper’s lodge are individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places and are part of the larger Redstone National Register historic district. THE PROJECT In 2000, Redstone Castle became the property of a partnership involved in questionable business practices, and seven members of the partnership subsequently were indicted as a result of an investigation into a $56 million illegal investment scheme. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) then seized Redstone Castle, its outbuildings, and 150 surrounding acres in 2003. The property was to be sold at auction by the IRS. The mansion itself was remarkably intact and retained 75 percent of its original furnishings from the Osgood era. The town of Redstone, though small by population, is a National Register-listed historic district and a Preserve America Community, and its economic vitality is largely based on tourism.

Assessment Question: How does examining the Auraria 9th Street Historic District help us understand what used to ​ be in this area of Denver? 7. Contextual Paragraph The Denver Public Library states, “Auraria, Denver’s oldest neighborhood, predates the city’s ​ ​ establishment, and its history neatly encompasses the city’s founding, its development, and its redevelopment as a modern urban center. As a contemporary Denver neighborhood, Auraria is synonymous with the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC), which opened in 1976, and home to the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and the Community College of Denver. The neighborhood forms a rough triangle, bounded on the south by Colfax Avenue, with the South Platte River to the west and Speer Boulevard to the east, roughly the line of Cherry Creek, converging at today’s Confluence Park.” Auraria was established in the late 1800’s by a small group of miners because of the discovery of gold in the area.
