Re: Bison Peak Resort, LLC

Dear Jennie,

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) has reviewed the conditional use permit application and associated documents that were provided by David Langley of Langley Architects for the Bison Peak Resort located at 20859 CR-77, Lake George, CO. CPW staff has visited the site and determined that the proposed development is not likely to have a significant adverse impact on wildlife species. However, CPW offers the following comments for your consideration in the implementation of the development.

The mission of CPW is to perpetuate the wildlife resources of the state, to provide a quality state park system, and to provide enjoyable and sustainable outdoor recreation opportunities that educate and inspire current and future generations to serve as active stewards of Colorado’s natural resources. Our goal in responding to land use proposals such as this is to provide complete, consistent, and timely information to all entities who request comments on matters within out statutory authority.

The vegetation is comprised of mixed conifers, aspens, and short grass prairie species. This habitat type will sustain numerous wildlife species including elk, deer, bear, mountain lion, moose, coyote, fox, raptors, songbirds and numerous small mammals.

CPW recommends the development and implementation of a noxious weed control plan for the site. It is recommended that all disturbed soils in the area be monitored for noxious weeds. Noxious weeds should be actively controlled until native plant revegetation and reclamation is achieved. Once development is concluded it is recommended that all

Bob D. Broscheid, Director, Colorado Parks and Wildlife • Parks and Wildlife Commission: Robert W. Bray  Jeanne Horne John Howard, Vice-Chair • Dale Pizel  James Pribyl, Chair  James Vigil  Dean Wingfield  Michelle Zimmerman, Secretary  Alex Zipp

disturbed areas be revegetated with native vegetation that matches the native vegetation already present in the surrounding area.

If fill material will be used in the project, CPW recommends using a native fill material that would be conducive to growing native vegetation. Non-native vegetation can out-compete native vegetation and can become problematic.

The following is a list of general recommendations CPW would like to be taken into consideration with this development in order to avoid nuisance conflicts with wildlife.

1. Pets should not be allowed to roam free and fences should be installed to decrease or eliminate this problem. Dogs and cats chase or prey on various wildlife species. One benefit to keeping animals under control is that they are less likely to bother other people, be in roadways or become prey for mountain lions, bears, coyotes, foxes or owls.

2. Trash should be kept indoors until the morning of trash pickup. CPW recommends using bear resistant trash containers. Bears, skunks and raccoons are attracted to garbage and do become habituated. It is illegal to leave trash unsecured except for the day of trash pickup.

3. Feeding of all wildlife should be prohibited, with the exception of songbirds. The use of bird feeders, suet feeders, and hummingbird feeders are discouraged. The use of flowering plants and bird baths are normally sufficient to attract desirable songbirds to a property without attracting bears. However, if bird feeders are used, they should be placed so they are inaccessible to bears, raccoons or skunks and other wildlife species that might cause damage or threaten human safety. It is illegal to feed big game animals including deer, elk, antelope, moose, bear, bighorn sheep and lion.

4. Pets should be fed inside or if pets are fed outside, feeding should occur only for a short period of time and food bowls returned afterwards to a secure site for storage. Pet food left outside attracts various wildlife species which in turn attracts predators.

5. When landscaping lots, it is strongly recommended that native vegetation be used that wildlife is less likely to be attracted to. Planting of trees and shrubs that are attractive to native ungulates should incorporate the use of materials that will prevent access and damage (fencing, tree guards, trunk guards, etc.).

6. Fences, other than those around the immediate domicile and serving to protect landscaped trees and shrubs, should be designed so as not to impair wildlife movements. Ornamental fences with sharp vertical points or projections extending beyond the top rail should be strongly discouraged. Wildlife friendly design recommendations can be provided upon request.

7. It is strongly encouraged that dog kennels have a top enclosure, regardless of the height of the kennel. This helps prevent bears, lions and coyotes from getting into the enclosure and causing injury or death to any pets. 8. Barbecue grills can attract bears and other wildlife if not cleaned and stored properly. CPW recommends barbecue grills be placed in a secure area when not in use and cleaned out with an ammonia/water solution.

9. Loud noises and light can affect wildlife especially during the night. CPW recommends that residents and guests make efforts to minimize noise and light levels during these hours.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the special use permit. If you have any questions or require additional information please contact District Wildlife Manager Ian Petkash at 720-391-6334 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Sincerely, Mark Lamb

RE: Bison Peak Resort Parking

Dear David:

I have reviewed the site plan for Bison Peak Resort located at 20859 CO RD 77, Lake George, CO and specifically the parking needed. A review of the ITE parking generation tables results in no use within the ITE sources that remotely resembles this use. That is not unusual, as most of the data for both the parking and trip generation studies within ITE come from urban and suburban studies. Therefore, I will base my recommendation on parking needed on my experience with similar social and recreational uses within the national forest in other locations.

With a total of forty camp sites, it is reasonable to assume that each one will require a parking space, for a total of 40 spaces for camping. There will be a maximum of twenty staff persons, and with the remote location, I would expect them to arrive at least two per vehicle, so they will need 10 spaces. Remote sites like this one just by their nature lend themselves to carpooling for most social events, such as weddings or similar uses. Since the owners of the site are encouraging wedding guests to also use some of the camp sites, a reasonable assumption would be that at least 10 of the sites would be occupied by some of the wedding party, including even the bride and groom. With a capacity of 80 for weddings, a reasonable assumption is that there will be fifteen persons staying at ten camp sites, which leaves sixty five who will be day use, and will need parking separate from the camping spaces. Similar uses in remote Teller County have had an average vehicle occupancy of 3 per vehicle for attendees, therefore the 65 guests will need twenty-two spaces.

In summary, the parking needs are staff = 10, camping = 40, and day use of the lodge = 22 for a minimum of 72 spaces. If you have room for more that this number, I would recommend a slight increase to provide for a catering vehicle, etc.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Kenny, P.E. Principal, Transportation Engineering Solutions, Inc.
