Home My WebLink About1.14 Project Brochure and RenderingsFlying M Ranch Planned Unit Development Application Garfield County, Colorado Exhibit N Project Brochure and Renderings Flying M Ranch sits quietly on the banks of the Roaring Fork River as a rural, mixed-use neighborhood that honors the beauty of the river-recreation connection. Modern townhomes with front porches and a western sensibility blend sustainability and a consciously humble proﬁle to preserve views and access to the mountains and river. Developed in partnership with Eastbank LLC, 13th Floor Investments, the Roaring Fork School District, and Hospice of the Valley, Flying M Ranch is a master plan concept that envisions a diversiﬁed planning area respectfully reﬂecting Garﬁeld County values. 2022 WHERE LIVING IN HARMONY IS SECOND NATURE LAND A gravel quarry mined in the late 20th century, the Flying M development will restore the native river frontage that has remained largely unremedied for decades. The new river frontage neighborhood pays tribute to Western character and culture and provides an uncommon middle-income waterfront housing opportunity. RIVER Upcycling the 40-year-old gravel quarry into a neighborhood will reconnect the river with ﬂoodplains and reestablish stabilizing surrounding soil to reduce sedimentation and erosion. Over a thousand feet of river’s edge will be restored, creating ﬁshing opportunities and a public trail as well as irrevocable river access for Riverview School. With public river access currently limited in this area, opening it up to wider recreational use will be a welcomed beneﬁt to multiple user groups. Access Remaining faithful to Garﬁeld County rural-living values, the Flying M Ranch neighborhood is evolving slowly and thoughtfully. With Riverview School as the foundation for expanding opportunities, Flying M oers an uncomplicated egress from SH82 and seamless admittance to County Road 154, a Rio Grande Trail connection, the Roaring Fork River, a business park, Hospice of the Valley, and the residential neighborhood. Embracing the distinctive nature of the area further allows for connecting pedestrian trails throughout the subdivision plus an expanded link to the Roaring Fork Trail system. Having already received a Safe Routes to School designation from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the area also has the potential for future RFTA access. INFRASTRUCTURE AND DENSITY 4 33.4-acre area divided into ﬁve parcels 4 Neighborhoods linked by a community path 4 150 townhome units at a density of 8.5 units per acre, which is an appropriate density for the transition between the Urban Growth Boundary and Garﬁeld County jurisdiction 4 Served by Xcel Energy, Roaring Fork Water and Sanitation District PEOPLE Flying M Ranch will be home to a variety of people across multiple demographics in Garﬁeld County. We also regard referral agencies as partners and will continue working collaboratively to reﬁne the plan: 4 Garﬁeld County Road and Bridge 4 Garﬁeld County Fire Protection District 4 Roaring Fork Water and Sanitation District 4 Garﬁeld County Vegetation Management PARTNERS The PUD application opens the door to partnerships. 4 Hospice of the Valley (a two-wing home with six bedrooms per wing, built in phases) 4 Riverview School 4 Roaring Fork Conservancy 4 Community-driven business park zone tenants 4 Teachers 12 townhomes exclusively for Riverview School teachers 4 Residents of Garﬁeld County 4 aordable townhomes for workers qualiﬁed through the Garﬁeld County Housing Authority 4 Tradespeople 10 worker dwelling units in the commercial and industrial parcel 4 Professionals with families 150 two-story townhomes plus eight home sites with ADUs as part of the single-family residential zone 4 Hospice patients 12-bed hospice home providing a quiet space for patients and their families in the only designated in-patient palliative care program in the Roaring Fork Valley Glenwood Springs Carbondale 5.5 miles to Glenwood Springs 8 miles to Carbondale COMP PLAN Flying M Ranch expressly mirrors values established in the Garﬁeld County Comprehensive Plan 2030, 2020 Update, including: creating a home for valley nonproﬁt Hospice of the Valley; adding to the aordable housing inventory pool; creating incentives for aordable housing; providing a diversity of housing types; safe proximity to transit options; and developer-led upgrades on County roads. Flying M Ranch is a preferred location for growth that would require “urban level” facilities. COMMUNITY-DRIVEN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES Already a small-business hub for niche Roaring Fork Valley services such as an equine medical center and a diesel and automotive full-service repair shop, the commercial parcel of Flying M oers the prospect of select additional community-driven commercial and retail spaces that will include on-site housing units. TEAM The Flying M Ranch development plan has been thoroughly reﬁned over the past several years by landowner – and Flying M resident – Robert Macgregor. The principal of the Dunrene Group, Macgregor is a real estate investor and entrepreneur with deep ties and key holdings across the Western Slope. Partnering on the development is 13th Floor Investments managing principal Arnaud Karsenti, whose hugely successful value-investing approach has been guided by a preserve-invest-create philosophy for over 15 years. TIMELINE The Flying M Ranch PUD will be submitted in summer 2022 with a potential review schedule beginning in August or September. The Garﬁeld Board of County Commissioners will review the application between October and December 2022.
