26. The Applicant shall obtain and provide the County with the necessary well permits for the
Appaloosa and Arabian Wells located on the Aspen Equestrian Estates Subdivision as issued by
the State of Colorado Division of Water Resources at the time of Final Plat.
27. The Applicant shall provide nine (9) affordable housing units within the PUD. Four (4) of such
units shall be deed restricted, constructed by the Applicant, and sold in accordance with all
applicable provisions of the Garfield County Affordable Housing Guidelines as codified in
Section 4:14 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution (the "AH Regulations"). While the
Applicant has committed to the construction of four affordable housing units, the Applicant shall
demonstrate to Staff and the Board of County Commissioners how the remaining deed restricted
lots are to be sold and developed. Further, the Applicant shall provide assurance to Garfield
County that the five (5) units will be constructed as required by the AH Regulations.
a) Specifically, the Applicant shall provide a detailed proposal for how the five (5)
affordable housing lots which will not be constructed upon by the Applicant will be sold
in a manner which will address the regulatory intent of the AH Regulations.
b) All nine (9) affordable housing units shall be included within the homeowners
association for the PUD. However, the Declaration of Covenants shall include adequate
provisions to assure that the affordable housing units will never be unduly burdened by a
disproportionate share of fiscal responsibility required for the overall maintenance of the
common facilities and roads throughout the PUD.
28. The Applicant shall provide language within the protective covenants for the development as
well as incorporate into a plat note on the Final Plat which lots within the development have
existing wetlands and areas within the flood fringe and / or floodway of the Roaring Fork River.
In addition, the covenants shall state that disturbance of any such designated wetland or floodway
areas are prohibited without receiving the proper approvals from the necessary jurisdictions. The
Applicant shall include a plat note as well as language in the protective covenants stating that no
development shall be allowed on any portion of any lot which is designated as a wetland or
located within a delineated floodway.
• IP
29. While this approval grants a Floodplain Special Use Permit for constructing dwellings within the
designated building envelopes in the flood fringe, the two road sections and the wastewater
outfall structure in the flood way, the Applicant shall incorporate language in the protective
covenants for the development that indicates to the future purchasers of those lots that contain
building envelopes located within the flood fringe that they are subject to the Garfield County
Floodplain regulations for other activities.
30. This Floodplain Special Use Permit, as approved by the Board of County Commissioners for the
entire Blue Creek Ranch property as described herein, shall constitute the necessary Special Use
Permit approval for development on each of the lots subject to the Floodplain Regulations in the
Garfield County Zoning Resolutions. Further, as each such lot is developed, the owner /
developer shall be required to demonstrate to Garfield County Building and Planning Department
as part of the building permit process that the finished floor elevation shall be constructed at one
foot above the floodplain elevation. This condition shall be included as a plat note on the Final
Plat.
31. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each lot subject Garfield County Floodplain
Regulations , the applicant for the CO shall provide the Garfield County Building and Planning
Department with an official survey indicating the proposed dwelling location was surveyed and
the finished floor elevation must be constructed at one foot above the floodplain elevation. This
survey is to be completed by a licensed surveyor who shall sign and stamp the survey submitted
to this Department. This condition shall be included as a plat note on the Final Plat.
32. The Applicant shall place a plat note on the Final Plat that would make the potential purchasers
aware of the possibility that the Roaring Fork River is a dynamic Stream and the current channel
could move from its present position.
33. The Applicant shall depict the following items on the Final Plat:
a. The 100 -year flood way;
b. The 100 -year flood fringe;
c. The building envelopes for all lots in the development; and
d. The elevation for each building envelope at 1 foot above the base flood elevation.
Please advise your client as to process required for submitting the Final Plat with the required
adjustments in order to receive a signed Resolution memorializing the Board of County
Commissioner action. Do not hesitate to contact me in the event you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Fred arman, Senior PI
