Safety – Reduce bike and pedestrian traffic on County Road 107 2. Enjoyment – Improve user access experience 3. Use – Reduce user conflicts 4. Longevity – Implement sustainable trail alignments PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Phase 1 of the Red Hill Trails Project (Carbondale, CO) will include the planned construction of three separate trails, providing recreational users of the existing Red Hill trail network (BLM) a new access point via this newly acquired adjacent AVLT land parcel. The existing BLM trailhead located further up the County Road 107 is planned for decommission, and recreational users will no longer need to walk/bike up the narrow, twisty portion of this county road. Each of the three planned trails will start at a shared location considered “temporary trailhead”, accessed approximately 300’ above the cattle grate on CR 107. The design of temporary signage and wayfinding will be provided, as part of the proposed plan. As identified in the Option 2 diagram (revised 6/26/18 ‐ see appendix), the three proposed trails include: 1. Hiker‐specific Trail: 2,127 linear feet (0.40‐miles; elevation gain 417‐feet, 181‐feet loss; average overall grade 15‐18%). Hiker specific (foot traffic only) design having bench cut trail tread, and including grade reversals, rock retaining wall and step features. Steep, difficult, durable, and sustainable trail design throughout its length, providing for a preferred managed replacement of similar unauthorized user‐ created hiker routes within Red Hill Special Recreation Management Area. Trail begins at proposed new trailhead location, west of county road, traverses slope via 10 switchbacks to connect at the Blue Ribbon, Mushroom Rock, and Three Gulch trail intersection; includes 140‐foot direct connector to Mushroom Rock trail at top of switchbacks. Ample local rock sources available for retaining walls and purpose‐built step features; design includes natural bedrock trail tread features. Route will include wide areas to accommodate for scenic stops, resting and user passing. This trail is depicted with a BLUE line on the diagram. Page | 2 2. Shared‐use Trail: 1,270 linear feet (0.24‐miles; elevation gain 201‐feet, loss 94‐feet; average overall grade 9.7%). Hiking and biking shared use trail, including bench cut design, rock retaining walls, grade reversals and small step features (both natural and purpose‐built). Intermediate trail having short zones of advanced difficulty rated trail, beginning at an intersection on the Three Gulch trail near the existing BLM trailhead, traversing the east side of the project area, across moderate slopes and descending 2 switchbacks to the proposed trailhead location. Route will include areas for safe user passing, having ample forward line‐of‐ sight view designed to reduce biker‐hiker traffic conflict. This trail is depicted with a RED line on the diagram. 3. Directional Trail: 2,744 linear feet (0.52‐miles; elevation gain 443‐feet, loss 213‐feet; average overall grade 10.6%). Bike specific directional bench cut design, including rock retaining walls, grade reversals, and flagstone paving / tread armor. Descent‐optimized, mountain bike specific trail beginning near the intersection of Blue Ribbon Trail and Three Poles overlook, descending slope via 7 switchbacks to the proposed trailhead area; includes 547‐foot connector trail having similar design to Three Gulch trail near existing BLM trailhead. This trail is depicted with a GREEN line on the diagram. NOTE: Phase 2 of the project is yet to be completely defined and is not included in this scope of work. The current understanding is that there will be a new parking lot constructed specifically for Red Hill trail users, paired with a new permanent trailhead facility. The current alignment of CR 107 is expected to be revised to improve traffic circulation at the intersection with Hwy 82, including modified vehicular access to the adjacent commuter lot (existing). CONFORMANCE WITH GARFIELD COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: The subject property is currently zoned “Common Open Space”, which allows for Parks, Open Space, and Agricultural use. Recreational opportunities are identified as an important part of tourism in Garfield County, and the Red Hill Trails project is compatible with the goals and objectives stated in the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan 2030. The proposed access trails will provide improved public access to the adjacent federal lands (BLM), and the intended use of this land parcel provides improved recreational resources rather than commercial development. Aspen Valley Land Trust (AVLT) has recently transferred ownership of the property to the Town of Carbondale. AVLT and the Town of Carbondale have worked to place a permanent conservation easement on the property, preserving this parcel as a recreational open space, which includes provisions for long term management and maintenance, to make public access possible. There is no knowledge of any existing IGA related to the subject property, but understood that if any are developed, compliance would be assured. General: The subject area proposed for development on the subject parcel is identified as common area / open space per the underlying PUD. The parcel is outside of the Urban Growth Area as identified on Future Land Use Map, and a majority of the parcel is unsuitable for commercial or residential development. The implementation of trails on the subject parcel is consistent with the underlying land use designation and the goals of limiting development outside of the Urban Growth Areas. Page | 3 Chapter 3, Section 5; Recreation, Open Space, and Trails: The proposed trails are consistent with Goal 2 (preserve public access to federal lands), Goal 3 (provide opportunities for tourism and local recreation), and Policy 5 (enhancement of tourism near recreation areas). These trails improve access to the Red Hill SRMA, a large tract of federal land with existing public recreation infrastructure in the form of a trails system. This asset is widely used by Carbondale and regional trail users. These trails are accessible directly from the Town of Carbondale and are an important component of the larger portfolio of trails in the Roaring Fork Valley and in Garfield county, the sum total of which represent a significant local‐serving and destination tourism asset for the region. WILDLIFE HABITAT: Wildlife habitat was evaluated by reviewing publicly available CPW datasets for range, critical habitat, and endangered species. Additionally, the BLM’s RMP describing the establishment and management of the Red Hill SRMA was reviewed for identification of habitat values and special management recommendations. No endangered species are indicated in the project boundaries. The overall habitat value of the Town of Carbondale property is generally low, with constraints of the proximities to existing trail system, county road, and Highway 82 corridor limiting the potential habitat quality. The entire Red Hill area is identified as critical winter habitat for mule deer; the Red Hill SRMA includes provisions for CPW to recommend closure of the Red Hill trails system should winter conditions indicate that protective measures are needed to maintain the critical winter habitat. As the Red Hill Access Trails entirely access and serve the Red Hill trails system, temporary closure of the BLM lands would also indicate commensurate, temporary closure of the access trails. This would be considered by the Town of Carbondale in coordination with CPW and BLM representatives. See the appendix for a table of all wildlife data layers available from the CPW. CONSTRUCTION PROCESS: Trails are an essential facility for the management of recreationists and protection of natural resources. Durable pathways that highlight the native landscape provide visitors a minimally impacting and enjoyable recreation experience. Unfortunately, the vast majority of trails have not met sustainability benchmarks, which led Greg Mazu to found Singletrack Trails, Inc. Improving the outdoor recreation experiences while minimizing impacts to the land is constant in the company’s trail construction resume. Singletrack Trails is known for their “light touch” on the land by employing the minimum tool rule (the least impactful machine for the job at hand). While larger machinery may move more soil at a faster rate, it can also create substantial fill slopes that impact trailside vegetation. Our construction process was developed using smaller machinery and hand tools, to efficiently construct, while fully compacting and stabilizing the day’s work before moving forward; this process results in a natural surface trail that is not subject to erosion during and immediately following the construction process. Page | 4 Singletrack Trails is adamant about retaining the minimal construction footprint. Minimally impacting trails are created through a stepwise progression during the construction phase. Essential facets of this construction process that ensure long‐term sustainability include:  Retention of seed‐bearing organic matter for re‐stabilization  Micro‐adjustments of trail alignments to avoid trees and roots  Management of natural drainage patterns with rolling contour construction  Utilization of natural, on‐site rock materials for hardening moist areas while maintaining natural soil chemistry BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES: Singletrack Trails will adhere here to the following best management practices. Upon request, Singletrack Trails will provide our Health and Safety Plan, Emergency procedures, and other related documents. Site Access  The job site will be accessed via vehicle or hiking through approved access points  Vehicles will be parked in approved locations, not in the way of existing trail traffic. FIRE PREVENTION: Fire prevention is an important part of protecting employees, company assets, and the project site. Fire hazards must be controlled to prevent unsafe conditions. Once a potential hazard is recognized, it must be eliminated or controlled in a timely manner. The following fire prevention requirements must be met for each site:  A conspicuously located, 5lb fire extinguisher for everywhere more than 5‐gallons of flammable liquids or gas are stored  Generators and internal combustion engines located away from combustible materials  Site free from accumulation of combustible materials or weeds  No obstructions or combustible materials piled in the exits  No more than 25‐gallons of combustible liquids stored on site  Fire extinguishers located with each machine  Fire extinguishers in the immediate vicinity where welding, cutting or heating is being done  Spark arrestor installed on each machine MACHINE REFUELING: Machine refueling will be made with portable 5‐gallon fuel containers that will be transported to the worksite on as‐needed basis, as well as:  No more than 5 gallons per machine will be stored on site in between fueling  Fuel will be contained in containers free of leaks and punctures  Fire extinguishers will be located in the immediate vicinity  Fuel spill kits will be located in the immediate vicinity Page | 5 APPENDIX: DHM Context Plan DHM Concept 2 Diagram (revised 6/26/18) Singletrack Trails Inc.

The project, conceived in 2017 as a partnership between Aspen Valley Land Trust and the Town of Carbondale, has dual goals of protecting the character of Carbondale’s iconic red rock face while addressing public safety concerns stemming from vehicle vs. trail user conflicts along Garfield County Road 107. Funds raised during the campaign will permanently conserve a 25-acre property at the base of Red Hill. They will also fund the design, construction, and long-term maintenance of a new trail connection intended to separate trail users from vehicle traffic along County Road 107. The 5-month fundraising effort formally kicked off in November 2017. To provide seed money for the project, AVLT tapped into a long-standing transfer tax paid into by River Valley Ranch homeowners. The RVR funds held by AVLT must be used for the express purpose of conserving land within seven miles of Carbondale. The Red Hill project was a great fit. AVLT contributed $350,000 from the balance of this fund. The RVR contribution, in addition to a $200,000 donation from the Ruth H. Brown Foundation, $100,000 from Abigail Wexner, $50,000 from the Town of Carbondale, and over $200,000 in individual donations from many community supporters, allowed AVLT to purchase the property for $825,000 in December 2017, down from the original asking price of $1.1 million. In early 2018, an informal pledge of $200,000 from the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners (tentative pending a formal vote in 2019) and a $100,000 donation from the Alpenglow Foundation put the overall project fundraising goal of $1.35 million within reach. On March 14, the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners preliminarily approved a $150,000 contribution from the county’s Open Spac e and Trails fund. If ratified at the BOCC’s March 28th meeting, that amount will effectively bridge the remaining fundraising gap. Contact: Suzanne Stephens Executive Director Email: suzanne@avlt.org Phone: 970.963.8440 Page 2 of 2 Regarding Pitkin County’s interest in contributing, Open Space and Trails Acquisition & Special Projects Director Dale Will said, “Red Hill is a unique resource in our valley. It’s accessible when many up-valley trails are not. With its early spring dry-out and year round access, Red Hill is a favorite of many Pitkin County residents.” All told, close to 300 individual donors helped fund the effort. AVLT Executive Director Suzanne Stephens credits broad support from individuals and partner organizations throughout the valley as the key to the campaign’s success. In thanks, Stephens’s says, “It’s wonderful to have a project where both Garfield County and Pitkin County have an interest in contributing. That speaks to the fact that Red Hill is a resource that benefits residents from up and down our valley.” With the fundraising goals met, AVLT plans to transfer the property to the Town of Carbondale in early April. AVLT will retain a permanent conservation easement on the property. Trail planning will commence shortly thereafter with a public process led by the Town of Carbondale. Carbondale Town Manager Jay Harrington looks forward to the next phase of the project. Harrington states, “This has been a wonderful partnership between AVLT and the Town of Carbondale and the Town looks forward to being the long term steward of this property. We are excited about engaging the community in the planning for trail and trailhead improvements.” AVLT urges Red Hill supporters to stay involved with the project. There will be a variety of opportunities for community members to get their hands dirty in the coming months. Dates related to this spring’s trail planning effort will be announced shortly, as will volunteer trail building dates to occur this summer. Director Stephens summed up the completion of the Save Red Hill campaign as follows. “It really takes a village as they say… in this case a valley. We thank the entire community for your amazing support.” AVLT will continue to accept donations towards the project. To donate, please visit avlt.org. Upcoming project dates and details will be shared on AVLT’s website. ### 6/26/2018 Account http://act.garfield-county.com/assessor/taxweb/account.jsp?accountNum=R011185&guest=true 1/1 Account: R011185 Location Owner Information Assessment History Account Number R011185 Parcel Number 2393-284-00-023 Situs Address City Carbondale Tax Area 011 - 1R-MF - 011 Legal Summary Section: 28 Township: 7 Range: 88 ALL THAT PT OF LOTS 7,8,9 & 21 LYING N OF HWY 82 & W.
