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, Colorado 81623 Mike Kraemer Aug 14, 2018 Senior Planner, Pitkin County 130 S. Galena Street Aspen, Colorado 81611 Mike, Although there is general consensus that Cleveholm Manor (Redstone Castle) should be preserved as a national historic treasure, there is inadequate understanding of how this preservation has been accomplished to this point in time. The following is a brief history of that accomplishment. Since the death of Osgood in 1926, the Redstone Castle has faced several dangerous periods that threatened its survival. During much of the 1960s, it remained vacant and subject to vandalism. In the mid-1970s, Ken Johnson saved it from the wrecking ball and listed it on the National Register of Historic Places. The Castle’s existence was threatened again in 2003 when the internal Revenue Service (IRS) seized it from owners involved in an illegal investment scheme. At first, the IRS and Property Management Team had no interest in preserving the historic integrity of the mansion. Instead, they planned to sell it without conditions to help recoup losses suffered by the “victims” of the fraudulent scheme. The Redstone Historical Society’s (RHS) resolute action, supported by Colorado Preservation, Inc., History Colorado, National Trust, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and Pitkin County, changed the terms of the auction. Through a court order obtained by the RHS, the IRS was required to conduct a Section 106 review under the National Historic Preservation Act to consider any adverse effects on its historic character before selling the property. The IRS accepted this stipulation, and worked with the RHS and other consulting parties to develop a Memorandum of Agreement to establish covenants to preserve the historic integrity of the Redstone Castle. The result was the 2005 Deed of Conservation Easement. The covenants and stipulations of the Deed of Easement protect specific interior spaces and the exterior of the Castle and several estate buildings. Covenants also prohibit anything that encroaches on the open land area on the Property adjacent to and surrounding the buildings. This restricted area mainly consists of twenty-two plus acres from the western facades of the Castle and Carriage House to the Crystal River. The RHS board members regard the Deed of Easement as the most important accomplishment in the long process of protecting and preserving the historical, architectural, cultural, and aesthetic value and significance of the Castle and the property surrounding it. Consequently, the members have vowed to do anything in their power to prevent any violation of the Deed’s covenants or stipulations. The RHS inserts the following information to refute Pitkin County Open Space and Trails (OST) assertions (memo to Mike Kraemer dated July 16, 2018) that a non-motorized trail easement along “Lover’s Lane” would not be in conflict with Redstone Castle’s Deed of Conservation Easement. Secondly, we submit language from the Deed that legally prohibits an easement that would grant public access to this historic property. OST’s statement that “nothing in the easement limits or restricts public access” is repudiated by section 7.7 of the Easement: “No Public Right of Entry. Nothing contained in the Easement grants, nor shall be interpreted to grant, to the public any right to enter on the Property or into the Buildings.” OST references Section 3.6 of the Conservation Easement that restricts “topographical changes” without approval of the Grantee (Colorado Historical Foundation) and Section 3.7 “Landscaping” that protects the open space in front of the Castle to the river from modifications not approved by the Grantee. OST contends that the request “simply for access” to the existing “Lover’s Lane” trail does not conflict with the Conservation Easement’s stipulations is belied by reading the entire Sections 3.6 and 3.7. “No topographical changes . shall occur on the exterior of the Property” unless they are “necessary to promote the conservation purposes of the Easement.” The Grantor (owner of the Redstone Castle) with the permission of the Grantee “may . undertake such landscaping of the Property as is compatible with the conservation purposes.” Section 3.10 states, “The Property shall be used only for purposes consistent with the conservation purposes of this Easement.” Based on Sections 3.6, 3.7, and 3.10 of the Deed of Easement, the RHS contends that a non-motorized trail is not compatible with the mission of historic preservation of the Property. The trail will need improvement, which we believe falls under construction that is not allowed by the deed restriction as cited above. Moreover, to protect the property, fencing will be required along the trail. Fencing would clearly violate the Easement. We, the members of the RHS, unanimously agree that granting an easement for the trail would be a clear violation of the Conservation Deed. As a signatory to the Conservation Deed, we are prepared to take legal action if the Deed is violated in any way, as is justified by the Conservation Deed. Our position holds true if a bridge and road access to the property encroaches on the deed restricted property. The construction of a bridge that would land on or near the protected property and an access road through the restricted area would be a clear violation of the Deed of Easement. Therefore, the RHS strongly requests that neither the trail nor the bridge be included in any way in the consideration of the Carvers’ application. ​ ​ Sincerely, The Redstone Historical Society Board of Directors: John Chromy, Pres. Michael Askew, Vice Pres. Sue McEvoy, Sec. Becky Trembley, Treas. Peter Martin Darrell Munsell Jane Munsell Jeff Bier Nancy Chromy Debbie Strom Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners Aug. 14, 2018 530 E. Main Street Aspen. Colorado 81611 Dear Commissioners, Once again I find myself sending you my letter of support for the current Land Use Applications for the Redstone Castle properties. As this review continues to be ‘continued’, it is becoming more difficult to send letters and make public comments that do not sound repetitive. I am sure that others feel the same way, yet because of the importance of this property to the community, we all feel compelled to reach out to you. Most of our community is disappointed with Pitkin County. The eleventh hour shut-down of the first application last year by the County Attorney’s office left everyone scratching their heads in disbelief. The applicants came back with the current application that includes many concessions and refinements collected from public comments along the way. The opposition continues to hold their ground, claiming that everything is still too much. Guilty until proven innocent, so to speak. The owner of the Gate Keeper’s House told me several times in the last two years that he needs to slow this down. He has accomplished that. Others in town have heard him say, over my dead body will the Castle ever open. Let’s hope it does not come to that. We the people await your conclusion, will that happen on the 22nd? John Chromy 366 Redstone Boulevard August 15, Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Mike Kraemer, [email protected] Susan Wolff, [email protected] Dear BOCC, I am a relative of John Cleveland Osgood (Great‐grand nephew). My family and I recently toured Cleveholm Manor, AKC: The Redstone Castle. We are most impressed with the restoration that the Carvers have accomplished; the Carvers have taken excellent measures to restore Cleveholm to its original condition. April and Steve Carver are responsible and committed to keep this important Colorado Historical Site at its best; due to the responsible nature of the Carvers, I would lend my support to the current land use applications. Not only would the Town of Redstone benefit but the Crystal River and surrounding area would benefit as well.

  • 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.

  • John Cleveland Osgood: American Entrepreneur
    John Cleveland Osgood: American Entrepreneur John Cleveland Osgood was born in 1851 in Brooklyn New York. With the death of his parents at a young age, Osgood and his three brothers and sisters were passed between relatives, attending public schools in Rhode Island and Connecticut. Osgood dropped out of school at age 14 and took an apprenticeship in a Rhode Island cotton mill. At age 16, he returned to New York and took a job with the William Ladd Produce Commission Firm while enrolled in night classes at the Peter Cooper Institute studying business and industry. While there, Osgood met A.D. Moss, an assistant manager for the Colorado Coal Company. Impressed with the young man’s determination to succeed, Moss recommended Osgood for a job at the Union Mining Company in Ottumwa, Iowa. Although still a teenager, Osgood realized the fortunes that could be made in the coal industry. By the time of his twenties, Osgood saved enough money to purchase the financially troubled White Breast Mining Company, turning its stocks around to become profitable. Under Osgood’s leadership, the company managed to keep its contract as the major supplier of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Shortly after his 31st birthday, Osgood was sent to Colorado to prospect and inspect potential new coal mine purchases and under developed fuel deposits for his employer. “He reportedly inspected every coal mine in the state, but it was the rich bituminous coal, uncovered by an avalanche, that commanded his full attention.”1 Seeing the potential for making a lot of money in this new endeavor, Osgood broke ties with the White Breast Coal Company and formed a new enterprise, the Colorado Fuel Company.
