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. -

Cascade Victorians
Cascade Victorians The Olde Poste Cottage and the Cascade Ranger Station are part of South Central Colorado’s rich late 19th century history by virtue of their geographic location in the Ute Pass corridor as well as their minor role in the Ute Pass government service. Ute Pass skirts the north side of Pikes Peak and climbs about 3,000 feet from Manitou Springs to its summit at the Hayman Divide (where the Woods live at 9,300 feet). The Ute Pass Trail began as a bison trail that connected the prairie with the meadows of South Park. El Paso (Spanish for "the pass") County was named for the Ute Pass Trail, worn into a wide road by migrating Indians traveling with horses and dragging their teepee poles up and down the Pass. Mountain men, explorers and prospectors hauling freight wagons expanded it to a wagon road. Cascade is the first small town in the ascent of the Ute Pass corridor, and is home to many transplants from the lowlands of Colorado Springs and beyond. But the present residents were preceded long before by the Ute Indians. The Utes are the only Native Americans indigenous to the State of Colorado. They are believed to be one of the first North American aboriginal groups to use horses in great numbers. Though regarded as "generally friendly," the Ute Nation sometimes fought with their traditional enemies, the Plains’ Apache, Navajo and Comanche tribes. On some occasions, the Utes met in peace with the Plains Indians at the place where the spirit of the “Great God Manitou” lived in bubbling springs at the base of Pikes Peak. -
