TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: MARK BEAN
DATE: JULY 24, 1997
RE: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING - TEEPEE PARK TIMBER HARVEST
On February 10. 1997, the Board opened a public hearing to consider the application from Clay
Tucker, Sharon Tucker, David Frase and Timothy & Stacey Frase for a Special Use Permit for
natural resource extraction for a commercial logging operation. The public hearing was
continued for a number of different reasons. The primary reason for the continuance was to
allow the City of Rifle and U.S. Forest Service to complete their respective permit processes.
Additionally, there was discussion about possible alternate solutions to the proposed condition of
approval No. 7, regarding the need for "engineered plans for the construction of intervisible
turnouts on County Road 317". The following is a discussion of the these issues and others:
City of Rifle: The City of Rifle has approved an application for a Watershed District permit from
Tim D. Frase, Stacey D. Frase, Dave P. Frase Clay K. Tucker, Sharon L. Tucker, Paul R.
Quatraro and Kay Quatraro. (See pgs. 3. 7 )
U. S. Forest Service: On June 9, 1997, the USFS released the Tucker and Frase Right -of -Way
Draft Environmental Assessment for a 30 day public review. In a verbal conversation with the
USFS this week, it was stated that the Notice of Decisio should issued shortly, with the
preferred alternate identified in the decision. (See pgs. I • Z )
Continued Public Hearing: At the last hearing, there were a number of proposed conditions of
approval discussed, in addition to the conditions recommended by the Planning Commission.
The following is a continued list of proposed conditions, numbered consistent with the
previously proposed conditions:
10. All vehicles used in conjunction with the logging operation must be licensed in the State
of Colorado, through the Garfield County Clerk & Recorders Office.
0/4,44-//15 hovv)14.1 411/1r24242-

or down County Road 317, when requested by a local rancher with grazing rights or
property in the Beaver Creek drainage.

The applicant has verbally indicated that they intend to propose a different method of dealing
with traffic conflicts on CR 217 than the "intervisible turnouts" proposed in condition No. 7 in
the original report. There are no other proposals at this
time.
