Parcel #: 2393-364-00-267
Subject: Land Use Application for Temporary Outdoor Recreation Facility – Waiver Requests
Dear Glenn,
Per our discussions, a list of requested waivers has been developed and organized for the proposed Temporary Youth
Hockey Outdoor Facility for Parcel 2393-364-00-267. The waiver requests are based on the temporary
nature/circumstances of this proposed use. At the time of a permanent facility proposal, all necessary
permit/application sections will be completed, as deemed necessary by the County.
Requested Waivers:
1. Landscape Plan (4-203.F)
The proposed Youth Hockey Facility is intended to be a temporary outdoor recreation facility. Due to the
temporary nature of this proposal, we are requesting a waiver from the required landscape plan. The previous
property owner had taken great care over the past 15-years years to install vegetative buffers along the
property boundaries and within the property core to mitigate visual, acoustic/noise, and dust concerns. Much of
the previously installed vegetation is currently nearing maturity.
2. Development and Improvement Agreements (4-203.J, K)
No vesting issues or public improvements are included as part of this application.
3. Wastewater Management and System Plan (4-203. N)
As a condition of approval, we are requesting a waiver to allow a temporary restroom facility in-lieu of a
permanent OWTS system. The proposed temporary restrooms will be heated for winter use and regularly
cleaned/emptied by a third-party service provider. A permanent OWTS system will be developed as part of the
future/permanent facility proposal.
Thank you for your guidance on the application and associated waiver requests. I look forward to discussing this
approach and any questions with you.
Sincerely,
Nicholas DiFrank, PLA

Mineral interests may be severed from surface right interests in real property. C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101, et seq,
requires notification to mineral owners when a landowner applies for an application for development from a
local government. As such, the landowner must research the current owners of mineral interests for the
property.
The Garfield County Land Use and Development Code of 2013 (“LUDC”) Section 4 -101(E)(1)(b)(4) requires
written notice to owners of mineral interests in the subject property in accordance with C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101,
et seq, “as such owners can be identified through the records in the office of the Clerk and Recorder or
Assessor, or through other means.” This form is proof of applicant’s compliance with the Colorado Revised
Statutes and the LUDC.
The undersigned applicant certifies that mineral owners have been researched for the subject property as
required pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-65.5-101, et seq, and Section 4-101 (E)(1)(b)(4) of the Garfield County Land
Use and Development Code, as amended. As a result of that research, the undersigned applicant certifies
the following (Please initial on the blank line next to the statement that accurately reflects the result of
research):
I own the entire mineral estate relative to the subject property; or
Minerals are owned by the parties listed below
The names and addresses of any and all mineral owners identified are provided below (attach additional pages
as necessary):

Definition, per Garfield County Code:

entertainment, recreation, or
games of skill, where any portion
of the activity takes place outside
and may include lighted areas for
use after dusk.
2340 County Road 100 - Colorado Extreme 29
Background
The applicant, Blue Mind, LLC, is submitting a Land Use Change Permit
to allow a Temporary Outdoor Youth Hockey Rink within their 34.67-acre
parcel. The lot was created in 1965 and then sold to the current owner in
2022 for commercial use. Prior to the unpermitted activities under the past
owner, the property was used as a space for landscaping companies and the
construction of log homes under a Special Use Permit.
If approved, the Colorado Extreme’s Temporary Outdoor Youth Hockey Rink
will be used during the 2022-2023 winter season, to provide free hockey
to approximately 400 children who live in the Roaring Fork Valley. Their
proposed operations meet the constraints of this permit request, the site, and
all applicable zoning, access/circulation and nuisance requirements.
Current Site Conditions
The property is currently vacant. The previous owner sold the property on
August 1, 2022 and following the sale of the property, the site has been
cleared in preparation for this application. No outstanding code violations
exist.
Existing site utilities include a commercial well, electric/power lines and
a utility control panel. The only features remaining on the site from the
previous owner include a heated 672 square foot site office with a bathroom,
and a centrally located shade structure (with no utilities) at the base of the
southern steep section of the site. An Engineering Report is included.
Proposed Conditions
The proposed Temporary Outdoor Youth Hockey Rink will be accessed by
the existing shared access drive, from Country Road 100. The shared private
roadway will continue to provide access to parcel #239336400268, to the
west. The access crosses through a 100’ ROW owned and managed by the
Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA). Within the ROW lies the Rio
Grande Trail. A 20’ wide (two, 8’ travel lanes with 2’ shoulders), two-way access
driveway was approved by RFTA. Traffic analysis and access documentation
with RFTA can be found in within the Traffic Study (4-203.L) in this package.
The site will be used during three practice groups/teams (12 players/each)
from 4pm-7pm, Monday through Saturday. Each group/team will have the
ice for one hour. There will also be two coaches and two staff members to
manage site operations on the premises, Monday through Saturday. No
subleases or subtenant situations will be allowed.
Per the Site Plan (exhibit A), only minor site modifications to the existing site
are expected due to the temporary nature of this proposal:
1. Temporary Circulation - a one-way internal drive aisle will provide access to
the hockey rink and parking area. Attendees will enter at the western area of
the parcel and proceed through in a clockwise direction.
2. Temporary Parking - 43 spaces will be provided to ensure that there will
be available spaces if parents arrive early for their child’s practice session.
Previous year’s data shows that most parents stay for the entire practice.
Spaces will also be provided for coaches and site staff.
3. Temporary Ice Rink - an temporary NHL sized hockey rink (200’ x 85’) will be
located as shown on the site plan. The rink will be oriented to an alignment
that maximizes the shade impacts of the adjacent hillside to the south. Two
chillers will be used to maintain ice temperatures.
Project Description (4-203.B.5)
30 2340 County Road 100 - Colorado Extreme
4. Temporary Restroom Facilities - temporary restroom facilities will be rented
or purchased for the duration of the winter season to support players and
parents. These facilities will be fully enclosed units that will be regularly
serviced by a third-party provider.
5. Landform manipulation - The existing site is already “flat”, due to
previous uses, with grades varying between 2-4% throughout the Area
of Disturbance (as noted on the site plan). Only minor earthwork will be
completed to remove old stockpiles of fill from the previous owner and to
ensure the conveyance of storm water through overland drainage swales.
As new owners of the 2340 CR 100 property, Colorado Extreme is proud to
call Garfield County home. During this brief period of ownership, program
ownership and staff have extended every courtesy to project stakeholders
and neighbors. Colorado Extreme’s goal is to use this temporary phase as
transition towards the planning and development of a permanent facility
while ensuring that the current children’s programming will not lapse during
the 2022-2023 season. Although minimal in nature, this temporary use
proposal will allow hockey programming to continue for the 400 participants
of the local program.

Impact Analysis (4-203.G)
1. Adjacent Land Use:
According to Garfield County GIS data (see attached map on the following
page), adjacent land uses within a 1500’ radius include a combination of rural/
agricultural properties and residential planned unit developments (PUDs).
2. Site Features:
Notable site features within the 1500’ radius include:
• The Roaring Fork River is located approximately 1085’ northeast from the
nearest corner of proposed temporary hockey facility area.
• A section of the Union Irrigation Ditch runs through the site but is not impacted
by the proposed use or its limit of disturbance.
• The topography throughout the proposed temporary hockey facility area does
not exceed 4%. Much of the area is between 2-3%, which is considered “flat”
for standard development activities. The adjacent hillside to the south of the
proposed facility contains slopes in excess of 45%. See accompanying Site
Survey Exhibit.
• Vegetative cover in the area is comprised of irrigated agriculture (cropland and
pasture) lands to the north and Pinyon-Juniper plant communities (shrub and
brush rangeland) throughout the hillside to the south.
3. Soil Characteristics:
Soil types within the proposed area include Yamo loam (majority of area), and
Atencio-Azeltine o complex (minor area in extents of site). See attached soils
map).
The Atencio-Azeltine soils are well-draining soils and classified with Medium
Runoff characteristics. The USDA farmland classification notes this soil type as Not
Prime Farmland due to its sandy/gravelly composition.
The soil composition is well-suited for the proposed use due to its drainage
characteristics and lack of value to for agricultural production due to its
composition.

Civil Engineering Report
Colorado Extreme Hockey Rink
2340 Cr 100
Carbondale, Colorado 81623
1. Existing Conditions
The existing parcel under evaluation for this engineering report is located at 2340 County
Road 100, also known as Catherine Store Road, outside of Carbondale, Colorado. The
Garfield County Parcel ID is 239336400267 with a legal description of “Section: 36
Township: 7 Range: 88 A PARCEL OF LAND IN GOVERNMENT LOTS 17 AND 21, A
PORTION OF GOVERNMENT LOT 14, SEC. 31, TWN 7, RNG 87, AND IN GOVENMENT
LOT 1, SEC. 1, TWN 8, RNG 88. 35.02 ACRES”. The parcel is 34.67 acres in size, with
only 4.15 acres being developable due to steep hillside conditions within the southern
portion of the property. The site has been previously utilized as a contractor’s yard but is
currently not in use.
The existing access to the site is located off County Road 100 (CR 100), which serves as a
shared access for the neighboring property located to the west. A twenty-foot egress
through the RFTA Rio Grande Railroad Corridor is located approximately 35 feet to the
south of the county road edge of pavement, allowing for passage through this corridor and
onto the site.
Developed areas exist only on the far north portion of the property, past the toe of the
steep hillside to the south. An existing access easement follows through the site from the
entry of the property and continues towards the west for legal access to the neighboring
property. Gravel drives surround the developed area for circulation and parking, as well as
the access for the neighbor to the west. Several small structures have been removed from
the interior of the site, leaving only a mobile office in the center of the site and a shade
structure at the base of the hillside. This includes an office building located at the entrance
of the property. An irrigation ditch lateral runs from the east to the west through the site.
Existing overhead electric lines run within an easement through the lot as well.
2. Proposed Conditions
This limited impact review application is requesting the use of the site as “Recreation,
Outdoor”. This type of use is noted within the standard county use Table 3-403 (Article 3 of
the land use code), under the commercial use category recreation and entertainment. The
specific programming of the site will be a temporary ice hockey rink with associated
parking. The eastern portion of the property will remain as existing, while the western
portion of the property will see the existing gravel drive maintained, the addition of a
temporary outdoor ice rink, and a new gravel drive and parking lot looping around the
proposed rink.
All access roads and driveways shall conform to Garfield County requirements by
increasing the width in certain areas and providing adequate shoulders, parking and
grading, as well as navigation and turnaround of emergency vehicles. Existing electric
40 2340 County Road 100 - Colorado Extreme
Engineering Report
services onsite will be improved in order to provide adequate power to the ice rink chillers.
The existing well onsite is currently permitted through the Colorado Division of Water
Resources as a commercial well. Proposed wastewater improvements for this project
include temporary portable toilets, that will be self-contained and cleaned/maintained
regularly.
3. Access, Roads and Parking
The site will retain the existing access point along eastbound CR100. The existing shared
gravel drive on site that connects the access point to the property to the west is being
maintained at a 16’ width with 2’ shoulders. A proposed 24-foot wide gravel drive loops
around the proposed hockey rink on the north side connecting to the existing gravel drive
on both sides. 43 parking stalls are proposed along the looped 24-foot wide portion of the
drive, as well as a pulloff/dropoff zone on the west side of the rink. This location of the
pulloff will prevent cars from queueing up in the main entrance.
Average total users at a given time is 36 kids and 4 staff members. The proposed use of
this site is not listed in table 7-302A, “Minimum Off-Street Parking Standards By Use”, so
the total number of parking spots was determined by the approximate average total users at
a given time, and 43 total spots are proposed with two additional stalls for maintenance and
operation parking.
The proposed loop portion of the drive is designed for one-way traffic around the hockey
rink in a clockwise direction. The existing gravel drive will be maintained as a two-way road.
A “do not enter” sign will be installed to control traffic to the correct route. The looped drive
also provides access for firefighting apparatus to reach all points within the developed site.
The turning radii of the roadway allow for adequate turning clearance for a 45’ fire truck. An
exhibit showing the fire truck turning movements is included in the civil plan set.
Stop signs are proposed to be installed at the intersection with Catherine Store Road and at
the intersection with the Rio Grande Trail on both sides, for a total of 3 stop signs. One
additional stop sign is proposed at the end of the proposed loop drive where it connects
back to the main entrance drive.
Sight triangles have been provided on the civil plans showing the required clear area free
from vegetation required to provide adequate lines of sight when leaving the site.
Snow storage area equal to at least 2.5% of the drive area has been provided just north of
the parking stalls in the same location as the proposed grass swale.
4. Grading and Drainage
For this Land Use Application, the proposed grading on the site has been minimized to
reduce site disturbance and impacts. The overall grading path of the site generally slopes
from the southeast to the northwest. Grades do not exceed eight percent in areas of
proposed disturbance, and the average grade is 2.8%. Total earthwork on site results in a
net fill of 2,195 cubic yards. The portion of the site covered by the ice rink has a net fill of
1,082 cubic yards, a portion of which will be replaced by the sand base of the rink. Existing
drainage paths from the large hillside above the project limits are to remain. No offsite
drainage will be required for the project, as existing irrigation ditches and other drainage
patterns convey runoff away from project limits.
2340 County Road 100 - Colorado Extreme 41
No onsite detention is provided. All rainfall that lands on the ice rink will stay on the ice rink,
and no new impervious areas are provided within the proposed development, so overall
runoff patterns will not be affected. A grass-lined swale is proposed along the north edge of
the proposed parking stalls, and will capture runoff from the proposed development, provide
infiltration and water quality treatment before allowing excess runoff to spill over, and sheet
flow offsite to the north in existing drainage patterns. This grass swale will not provide
detention, but will act as water quality treatment onsite and will offset any negative effects
of the proposed improvements.
5. Utilities
a. Water
Domestic water for the site is located at a well just west of the entrance to the site.
There is also an existing water shutoff valve and an existing spigot in this location. The
main water use on the proposed site will be for the zamboni to fill with water to
resurface the ice rink. This will be accomplished using the existing spigot. The existing
office trailer on the eastern portion of the site has a water treatment system underneath
its sink providing potable water.
Well pump tests were performed and documented by LRE Water in a memorandum
dated September 17, 2021. The pump test reported a long-term yield from the pump to
be at least 15 gallons per minute. It is estimated that the peak demand from the well is
approximately 10 gallons per minute. Therefore, the pump and well have capacity for
the anticipated use of the site.
No water improvements are proposed for this project.
b. Wastewater
Portable toilets are provided to manage wastewater on site and will require no water or
sewer utility connections. It is assumed 2 portable toilets is sufficient for 100 people per
day for a week. Toilets will be cleaned and maintained regularly.
c. Electric
An existing overhead electric line exists on site from east to west close to the toe of the
existing slope. An overhead electric line spurs off to another standalone power pole on
site, nearby the existing office building. An existing utility control panel is located just
west of the main entrance near the existing water utilities.
To provide adequate power and underground electric services to the site, a looped
electrical service must be provided. The proposed design is to replace the existing
power pole spur on site, to add a new power pole along the main overhead electric line
just east of the existing pole, and to connect these two poles in a loop with the main
line. Then an underground electric service line will extend from the two power poles to
a proposed transformer to the west of the main entrance, located similarly to the
existing utility control panel. Electric service lines will then extend to the ice rink chillers
at the west end of the property and to the center of the site where they can be used as
outlets for miscellaneous uses.
d. Gas
No gas service is provided to the structures within the development.
42 2340 County Road 100 - Colorado Extreme
e. Communications
All communications services currently in place shall be utilized to service the main
office. Pedestals are located near the northeast property corner, close to CR 100.
f. Telephone
All telephone services currently in place shall be utilized to service the main office.
Pedestals are located near the northeast property corner, close to CR 100.

Existing Conditions
The subject property was previously approved to be a small contractor’s yard, which has not been
operational in the last year or more. The existing structures and storage areas are located near County
Road 100 where the land is relatively flat. The remainder of the property, south of the contractor yard,
has steep grades into the forested area. There is currently one gravel access on County Road 100 that is
shared with the neighboring property to the west. Currently, the neighboring property includes one single‐
family home.
Per Garfield County’s Land Use and Development Code (2013), this access is classified as a “semi‐primitive
road”. The roadway standards indicate that there is a design ca pacity of 100 vehicles per day (vpd) and a
minimum right‐of‐way width of 40 feet. Across the driveway, approximately 36 feet south of the County
Road 100, is the Rio Grande Trail. The access has a stop sign as it approaches the trail but does not have
a stop sign as it approaches County Road 100. Based on the topography and roadway design, there is good
sight distance in both directions to assist drivers to turn safely into and out of the driveway. The sight
distance was measured by Radian Engineering last year to be over 500 feet in both directions which is
greater than the AASHTO standard of 390 feet for a posted speed limit of 35 mph.
Access Permits
Currently, there is a Garfield County access permit for the existing access from Year 2004. The permit
number is #68 and filed under reception #6258627. The permit allows access for both properties with a
maximum width of 20 feet. The Garfield County permit is attached to the Appendix. The subject property
also has an access permit to cross the Rio Grande Trail, which was provided by the Denver and Rio Western
Railroad Company (refer to the Appendix for a copy). An updated access permit with RFTA has been
completed for the new owner.
Roadways
The primary public roadways that serve the project site are discussed in the following text:
State Highway 82 is a four‐lane major regional arterial (classified by CDOT as an Expressway) that
provides east‐west access along the Roaring Fork Valley. It links Glenwood Springs (down valley)
and the I‐70 corridor to the Town of Aspen (up valley) and all the communities in between. SH 82
currently carries approximately 24,200 vehicle per day (vpd) in between County Road 133 and
County Road 100 (CDOT, estimated for Year 2021). The posted speed limit is 65 miles per hour
(mph) within the study area.

The intersection of SH 82 at Catherine Store Road/County Road 100 is controlled by a traffic signal
and the intersection includes:
• Two through lanes in each direction of SH 82;
• Bus queue jump/right‐turn lanes on SH 82 to allow the VelociRFTA BRT buses efficient
service through the traffic signal;
• Left‐turn deceleration lanes on SH 82;
• Right‐turn deceleration and acceleration lanes on SH 82;
The intersection of SH 82 at County Road 133 is controlled by a traffic signal and the intersection
includes:
• Two through lanes in each direction of SH 82;
• Left‐turn deceleration lanes on SH 82 (Dual for WB);
• Right‐turn deceleration and acceleration lanes for EB on SH 82;
County Road 100 is a two‐lane roadway that leads to the rural residential area of east Carbondale.
This roadway changes between north‐south orientation near SH 82 to east‐west orientation along
the property frontage and links Carbondale’s Main Street to SH 82. County Road 100 has a posted
speed limit of 35 mph and is approximately 24 feet in width within the vicinity of the project. This
roadway services roughly 10,900 vpd during the week just south of SH 82 (Year 2017).
County Road 133 is a two‐lane roadway with a center turn lane that travels through the heart of
Carbondale. This roadway travels north south between SH 82 to Hotchkiss. County Road 133 has
a posted speed limit of 35 mph through Town and increases to 55 mph south of Meadowood
Drive. This roadway services roughly 16,700 vpd during the week just south of SH 82 (CDOT,
estimated for Year 2021).
Intersections
Peak hour data was collected on two (2) weekdays at the access intersection on County Road 100 by
Radian Engineering, LLC in August 2021, which were utilized within this analysis and attached to this
memorandum. The data indicated that the AM peak hour at the intersection of County Road 100 and the
Access started at 8:00 AM and the PM peak hour started at 4:50 PM.
The existing data indicated that there were only two (2) inbound vehicles in the AM peak hour (8:00 AM)
and zero (0) outbound. During the PM peak hour (4:50 PM), there was one (1) inbound vehicle and one
(1) outbound vehicle. The highest volume on the driveway was three (3) vehicles which occurred at 7:20
AM. Within the six (6) hours counted on Day 1, there were a total of 27 vehicles in and out of the driveway
and on Day 2 there were 15 vehicles. Radian Engineering indicated that there were several vehicles that
were looking for the previous company at this address that no longer exists. It is assumed that there are

typically less than 10 vehicle trips per day without the contractor’s yard in operation at this driveway for
the existing single‐family home.
The nearest intersection with State Highway 82 is approximately 1.1 miles to the northeast and is
anticipated to have some of the Colorado Extreme trips through it. Refer to the trip generation and
assignment section for anticipated trips through this intersection. Data was collected at this intersection
in Year 2017 as part of the Aspen Polo Club and McClure Ranch project and utilized in this analysis.
The existing peak hour volumes are illustrated on Figure 2.
Pedestrian and Bicycle
The Rio Grande Trail connects Glenwood Springs to Aspen and parallels County Road 100, crossing the
existing access. The Rio Grande Trail is a rail‐to‐trails project that provides multi‐modal connectivity
through the Roaring Fork Valley.
Transit
The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) provides public transportation service between
communities adjacent to and within the Roaring Fork Valley. There are no routes or bus stops on County
Road 100 near the project site, however, there are two (2) bus stops within three (3) miles of the site.
The Local Valley bus route travels between Glenwood Springs and Aspen with stops along SH 82 east of
Catherine Store Road/County Road 100 to serve the local park‐n‐ride, as well a stop at the Carbondale
park‐n‐ride and along Main Street.
There is also a Carbondale Circulator that connects the citizens and visitors to destinations within the
Town. This bus service travels between the Carbondale park‐n‐ride and locations along County Road 133
and Main Street.
The Bus Rapid Transit, named VelociRFTA, is an express transit service with parking available at the
Carbondale park‐n‐ride (Village Road and Highway 133). Both bus routes provide connections to the other
six RFTA bus routes between Rifle and Aspen. A snapshot of the RFTA bus map is shown to the right with
the Catherine Store Road local bus stop circled.

Trip Generation
To establish the volume of trips associated with the proposed Colorado Extreme ice rink, data on last
year’s athletes was utilized. There is limited data contained in the national guidelines (ITE Trip Generation
Manual); therefore, the programming data was utilized.
It is anticipated that there will be three (3) sessions per afternoon during the week with 12 students each
session. Based on the previous hockey season, it was typical that the parents/guardians remained at the
ice rink until the session was completed. For conservative purposes in this trip generation estimate, it was
assumed that there would be 80% of the parents/guardians remaining on site while the other 20% left
during the session to return at the end of the session. It was also assumed that only 10% of the athletes
will carpool. In reality, this will be even higher since Colorado Extreme is working on a shuttling program
for athletes after school and the parents/guardians will be highly encouraged to carpool. It was assumed
that there would be a total of four (4) staff members per day for coaching duties (2) and site
maintenance/operations (2). The estimated daily trip generation is summarized on Table 1.
Table 1 – Trip Generation (DAILY)
It was estimated that there would be up to 83 daily trips associated with the first phase of Colorado
Extreme. The trips associated with the existing single‐family home were estimated to up to ten (10) trips
per day (based on ITE suburban rates). Adding this to the trip estimate of Colorado Extreme, the driveway
would have up to 93 vehicle trips per day which is under the threshold for a semi primitive access (100
vpd threshold). It is anticipated that this is a conservative estimate for the driveway volumes since
carpooling will most likely be higher than 10%. Also, the single‐family home is likely to have less daily trips
since it is considered a rural home and not suburban, which is the basis of the ITE trip rates.

For the AM peak hour, it is likely there will be up to one (1) trip to or from the site by staff. During the PM
peak hour, it is anticipated that there will be 20 inbound trips for athletes and 15 outbound trips for
athletes and staff. This is based on the typical patterns of arrival and leaving for sports practices.
Trip Assignment
The estimated trip volumes were distributed onto the study area street network based on addresses of
the young athletes that was provided by Colorado Extreme. Based on the addresses, the trip distribution
is as follows, as well as presented on Figure 3:
• 19% to/from Down Valley
• 45% to/from Up Valley
• 20% to/from Carbondale
• 8% to/from Frontage Road
• 5% to/from South County Road 133
• 3% to/from North Catherine Store
Note that all Carbondale addresses were mapped to determine which part of Town the students would
be traveling from, to ensure the routing was accurate. The daily and peak hour trips are illustrated on
Figure 4. The peak hour trips were added to the existing volumes and are shown on Figure 5.
CDOT Access Permit
CDOT requires an access permit when the side‐street volume increases the permitted volume by 20% or
more. The new trips on County Road 100 accessing State Highway 82 will add approximately one (1)
vehicle in the AM peak hour and 17 vehicles in the PM peak hour. This equates to approximately 0.2%
increase in traffic over the permitted volumes in the AM peak hour and 3% of the PM peak hour. The
additional volumes associated with Colorado Extreme does not require an updated access permit.

Conclusions
The Colorado Extreme project proposes to construct one (1) outdoor ice rink in the first phase to continue
to provide a free hockey program for young athletes within the area. This ice rink is temporary for
approximately two winter seasons and will be full replaced in Phase 2. A separate traffic study will be
completed for the second phase of the Colorado Extreme project. The existing access will remain in the
same location and continue to provide access to the site and the adjacent single‐family home. It is
anticipated that the existing access, roadway network and intersections can accommodate the project
trips without the need for additional analysis or mitigation measures.
Hopefully the contents of this memorandum are helpful. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

RE: Blue Mind, LLC – Water Demand and Supply for Proposed Land Use Application
Nick:
In July 2021, LRE Water and Ray Latham completed a 4-hour Pump Test at the existing well
located on the Blue Mind, LLC property located east of Carbondale on 2340 County Road 100 in
Garfield County (Parcel No. 239131100033). The purpose of the pump test was to demonstrate
that adequate potable groundwater exists at a reasonable depth for the proposed uses and to
provide an estimate of the expected long-term yield of the well. This memorandum summarized
the opinion and findings of LRE Water regarding the adequacy of the physical water supply for
the Blue Mind, LLC proposed development.
WATER DEMAND
Blue Mind, LLC is in the process of amending their existing Basalt Water Conservancy District
(BWCD) water allotment contract which is the legal water supply for the proposed Temporary
Youth Hockey Facility. The contract covers an outdoor ice rink for up to 150,000 gallons of water
from October through Mary, indoor commercial use (up to 0.3 EQR), and 22,000 square feet of
irrigation on the property from an existing well (current Permit No. 83473-F). Total proposed
annual demands are 1.866 acre-feet (AF). The maximum demand is expected to occur in June
with due to irrigation. Storage may be needed to meet peak hour demands associated with the
ice rink facility or irrigation.
WATER SUPPLY
Well Construction
The well was constructed on April 7, 2003, by Shelton Drilling Company. The well is constructed
in boulders, sand, and gravel in the first 32 feet and cobbles, sand, and Beldon shale in the gravel
in for the next 19 feet. The total depth of the well is 51 feet and it is constructed with 7-inch
diameter steel surface casing with perforated steel casing installed in the water producing zone
from 25 feet to 32 feet. At the time of the well construction, static water level was 12 feet from
the top of casing (TOC) and the well produced 15 gpm during a 2-hour pumping test. Blue Mind,
LLC will need to re-permit the well for the proposed uses.

Water Demand and Supply
The permitted and actual location for the well is the SE1/4 SE1/4 of Section 36 Township 7 South,
Range 886 West, of the 6th P.M. (NAD83 Z13 UTM(x)=313651.2, UTM(y)=4363223.4).
Pumping Test
A 4-hour pumping test was conducted by Ray’s Well Done Pump Service on July 23, 2021 for the
well. The purpose of the test was to determine the long-term yield of the well and its adequacy
to serve the existing and proposed uses. The initial static water level was 12.0 feet and a flow
rate of 15.0 gpm as shown on Figure 1. There was no significant drawdown at this flow rate;
therefore, the pumping rate remained at 15 gpm. The well had a maximum total drawdown of 3.0
feet as shown on Figure 2. Over the 4-hour pumping period approximately 3,600 gallons of water
was pumped. Figure 3 depicts the water level recovery in the well in the first 2 minutes after
pumping ceased.
Considering the minimal drawdown depth and quick recovery apparent during the pump test, LRE
Water believes that this well can provide a long term yield of 15 gpm to support the planned
usage.
CONCLUSION
The results from the pumping test indicate that the well has a more than sufficient yield to serve
the proposed uses of a temporary outdoor ice rink, commercial uses of up to 0.3 EQR, and 22,000
square feet of irrigation. The long term yield of the well is estimated to be at least 15 gpm. Storage
may be needed to meet peak hour demands associated with the ice rink facility or irrigation.

RE: Blue Mind, LLC – Well Water Quality Analysis
Nick:
Pursuant to Garfield County Land Use and Development Code Section 4-203(M)(1)(b)(5)(c), Blue
Mind, LLC also requested that LRE Water sample for water quality at the existing well on the Blue
Mind, LLC property located east of Carbondale on 2340 County Road 100 in Garfield County
(Parcel No. 239131100033). LRE Water had conducted water quality analysis of the existing well
for the previous owner approximately one year ago. Blue Mind, LLC’s proposed uses for the
property are generally for a Temporary Youth Hockey Facility. Given this, it is LRE Water’s
opinion that the water quality analysis conducted last year on the property is sufficient to examine
the suitability of the water for the proposed uses.
This specific section of the land use code states:
“Water quality shall be tested by an independent testing laboratory for the following
contaminants: alkalinity, arsenic, cadmium, calcium, coliform bacteria, chloride,
conductivity, copper, corrosivity, fluoride, hardness, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese,
nitrate/nitrite, pH, sodium, sodium adsorption ratio, sulfate, total dissolved solids, uranium,
zinc and alpha/beta radioactivity. Additional testing may be required for other contaminants
that occur within the County. The results shall show that the Maximum Contaminants
Levels (MCLs), as set forth by the CDPHE within the Colorado Primary Drinking Water
Standards, are not exceeded, or the Applicant has otherwise identified a treatment system
that will bring the water within acceptable MCLs. Annual testing, testing for other
contaminants, and testing for secondary drinking standards including taste, odor, color,
staining, scaling, and corrosion is also recommended.”
This letter report presents the technical analysis of the water quality. The well (current Permit No.
86473-F) is located in the SE1/4 SE1/4 of Section 36 Township 7 South, Range 886 West, of the
6th P.M. (NAD83 Z13 UTM(x)=313651.2, UTM(y)=4363223.4). The proposed uses form the well
include a temporary outdoor ice rink facility, minor indoor commercial use (up to 0.3 EQR), and
outdoor irrigation.
WATER QUALITY
A pre-packaged water quality sampling kit was ordered from Colorado Analytical Laboratories,
Inc. Raw water samples were obtained from the well by LRE Water on July 26, 2021 after first

Well Water Quality Results
running the well 10 minutes at a flow rate of less than 10 gallons per minute (gpm). The samples
were shipped by overnight delivery under proper chain of custody to Colorado Analytical
Laboratories, Inc. (results attached).1 In accordance with the criteria established by the Garfield
County Land Use and Development Code, the well was tested for inorganic compounds including
metals, coliform, alkalinity, corrosivity, hardness, pH, total dissolved solids, and radionuclides.
The attached results indicate that the well water meets the basic EPA primary and secondary
drinking water standards with the exception of Total Coliform. This is further discussed below.
Total Coliform
Total Coliform was “present” at the well. Coliform bacteria include a large group and many types
of bacteria that naturally occur throughout the environment and are common in both soil and
surface water. Most types of coliform bacteria are harmless to humans, but some can cause mild
illness and even fewer can lead to waterborne disease. The presence of coliform indicates that a
contamination pathway exists between a source of bacteria (surface water, animal waste, septic
system, etc.) and the water supply.
Coliform bacteria is much more common in springs and in shallow wells compared to deeper wells
as the bacteria is filtered out by soil and rock as surface water infiltrates the ground. The presence
of Total Coliform indicates that the groundwater supply is under the influence of surface water.
Total Coliform can be treated with filtration. Ultrafiltration (average pore size of 0.01 micron) or
higher level of treatment is required. Disinfection (i.e. chlorine or ultraviolet light) will also treat
bacteria. Shock chlorination of the well is also often utilized for treatment; however, contamination
could occur again over time.
We also note that the well is considered very hard (> 200 mg/l as CaCO3) with a measured value
of 226.7 mg/l. Hard water can cause scale to build up in boilers, water heaters, and on water
fixtures, and lessen effectiveness of soaps. Hardness is typically treated for domestic and
commercial uses if greater than 200 mg/L.
CONCLUSION
The laboratory results for the water quality analysis indicate that the water at the well meets most
basic primary and secondary drinking water standards with the exception of Total Coliform. In
addition the water was found to be very hard. Total Coliform can be treated with disinfection (i.e.
chlorination or ultraviolet light) or ultrafiltration (average pore size of 0.01 micron) to meet the
primary drinking water standard. Hardness is not health threatening and is considered
nonenforceable. Therefore, with disinfection or ultrafiltration, the water quality is suitable for
domestic or commercial use (including irrigation). LRE Water recommends that Blue Mind, LLC
1 Colorado Analytical Laboratories subsequently sent sampled water Hazen Research, Inc. for the analysis of
Gross Alpha and Gross Beta radionuclides.

consider water softening and provide filtration for the proposed commercial uses. As such, we
recommend that Blue Mind, LLC further consult with a water treatment system provider to
determine the appropriate level of treatment for the well.

I am writing this email to let you know that Colorado Extreme, located at 2340 CR 100, will be exempt from a driveway permit for the temporary
hockey rink this year. However, they will need to apply for a driveway permit once they apply for the permanent hockey arena through your
office, but for now they are good to go on our end.
Let me know if you need anything else.

7-206: Wildfire Hazards
The applicant and consultant team met with Bill Gavette (Carbondale & Rural
Fire Protection District, Deputy Chief) to review the proposed temporary plan. As
noted earlier in this document, he has no concerns on any aspect of this proposal.
A. Location Restrictions
The application area is designated as a containing Low to Moderate fuel
hazards as it is located along the boundary of irrigated agriculture lands (low)
and shrub/brush rangeland comprised of pinyon-juniper plant communities
(moderate). The southern portion of the property contains steep slopes,
but the area designated for the Temporary Youth Hockey Facility would be
located in the northern portion of the site where slopes are between 0-4%.
The site has traditionally been cleared of ladder fuels from the developable
area of the site and base of the hillside. The owner agrees to continue to
maintain vegetation control on the property to minimize any potential
impacts from wildfire following Garfield County and State Forest Service
guidelines for defensible space.
B. Development Does Not Increase a Potential Hazard
The proposed application is developed in a manner that does not increase
the potential intensity or duration of a wildfire, or adversely affect wildfire
behavior or fuel composition. The facility manager will contain provisions
regarding the storage of potentially flammable materials.
C. Roof Materials + Design
This application proposes an ice rink and temporary restroom facilities/
structures. All elements, including the existing site office are constructed of
non-combustible materials.

DIVISION 3. SITE PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
7-301: Compatible Design
Extensive efforts were made to ensure the proposed site plan provided a
successful solution that minimizes impacts to neighboring properties while
supporting the needs of future tenants. Multiple meetings were held with
neighbors, Charles Cole and HP Hansen to share the proposed plans for
the site and request feedback. The resulting Site Plan (Exhibit A), provides a
low impact solution based on the circulation and landform of the existing
site. The proposed site design offers safer and improved circulation, while
respecting the local context and meeting County and RFTA standards.
A. Site Organization
The proposed site program/design contains minor circulation
improvements to accommodate passenger vehicles and shared access
needs. Perimeter areas are planned for low impact functions, such as:
loading/unloading, snow storage and utility needs. The site interior will
be used for tenant storage.
B. Operational Characteristics
Site operations have been improved through access and circulation
planning. Dedicated parking, loading/unloading, one-way traffic routes, a
commercial/industrial well and OWTS system are all proposed to ensure
efficient operations throughout the site.
C. Buffering
The proposed site will rely on the continued maturation of the extensive
perimeter vegetation and landform/berms to accommodate visual and
acoustic buffering requirements. See the following Concealing and
Screening Diagram.
D. Materials
No changes to exterior facades are planned as part of this submittal.
7-302: Off-street Parking and Loading Standards
Off-street parking is proposed and delineated within the Site Plan Exhibits.
Additional information regarding computation of provided spaces is
provided in the included Engineering Report.
7-303: Landscaping Standards
A waiver request to a landscaping plan is included in this package due to
the temporary use proposed on the site and the large amount existing
vegetation on site acting as a buffer.
A. General Standards
The proposed site program/design contains minor circulation
improvements to accommodate passenger vehicle movement and
shared access needs. Perimeter areas are planned for low impact
functions, such as snow storage and utility needs. The western site
interior will be used for the temporary facility. No changes will occur to
the eastern portion of the site interior.

4. We are requesting that the Existing Small-Contractor’s Yard Approval remain in place during the temporary
hockey rink period. If Colorado Extreme is able to successfully move forward with a permanent facility in the
future, the Small Contractor’s Yard Special Use Permit would be vacated at that time.
The only structure on site is the mobile office. This structure will remain in place as a site operations office for
Blue Mind LLC. It will not be used for Colorado Extreme hockey functions and will not be publicly accessible.
5. Contact Information for the Union Ditch:
There is no formal management entity or company for the Union Ditch. It has been run through an informal
group of local landowners who own property and controlling ditch rights on Catherine Store Road/CR 100.
Mike Kennedy, a local resident of over 40-years, is the point of contact. He oversees the collection and sharing
of associated Union Ditch information and organizes management activities for the Ditch.

6. Traffic Study Update:
The Basic Traffic Study has been updated to ensure consistency with the conclusions on page 7 of the report. A
copy of the revised study is attached alongside this memo and will replace the previous version in the final
application package and required hard copies.
7. Site and Temporary Rink Lighting Standards:
Temporary hockey rink lighting will be provided by WiLL (Wisconsin Lighting Lab), a 50-year-old company that
focuses on LED sports lighting products and technology. All products are professional grade and made in the USA
to meet AASHTO standards.
A noted in the following quote, it is anticipated that six (6) light poles with small area/flood LED fixtures will be
used to light the rink. The lights will be used as needed during the three, 1 hour skate sessions (4pm, 5pm, 6pm),
and then for closing operations (latest of 8:30pm shutdown).
The partially shielded LED lighting fixtures will be mounted on top of 20’ black, powder-coated poles. Due to the
partially shielded nature of this lighting product, we would like to request a waiver from the lighting standards.
Fixture specifications:
• Dimensions: 20.5” long x 14.4” wide
• 24000 lumens @ 5000K / each
• 120-277v input
• Type 5 Wide Distribution
The Type 5 (directed) distribution pattern has been selected to ensure that light is focused on the rink and the
immediate periphery to safely support game play, spectators, and pedestrian movement around the rink. The
selected lighting distribution and hood design (included/following) will avoid light spill outside of the immediate
rink area and will not result in any impacts to neighboring property through light pollution and/or spill.

Temporary Time Frame
It is the intention of Blue Mind LLC to initiate the planning, design, and permitting of a permanent youth hockey
facility at this site. Although they hope to develop this proposal and facility prior to next hockey season, we
understand that may not be possible. If necessary, we would like to understand if an administrative extension on
the temporary rink could be requested, as needed, for next year (2023-24 season).
Thank you for your guidance on the application and review process. Please feel free to contact me with any
additional questions.
