I) CALL TO ORDER, ROLL CALL

Mayor Mamula called the meeting of March 13, 2018 to order at 7:00 pm. The following members answered roll call: Mr. Bergeron, Mr. Burke, Ms. Lawrence, Mr. Dudick, Ms. Wolfe, Ms. Gigliello and Mayor Mamula.

II) APPROVAL OF MINUTES A) TOWN COUNCIL MINUTES - FEBRUARY 27, 2018

With no changes or corrections to the meeting minutes of February 27, 2018, Mayor Mamula declared they would stand approved as submitted.

III) APPROVAL OF AGENDA

Mr. Holman stated there were no changes to the agenda. Mayor Mamula declared the agenda approved as presented.

IV) COMMUNICATIONS TO COUNCIL

A) CITIZEN'S COMMENT (NON-AGENDA ITEMS ONLY; 3-MINUTE TIME LIMIT PLEASE)

Mayor Mamula opened Citizen's Comment.

Mr. Joe Howdyshell, representing Summit Endurance Academy, thanked Council and the Town of Breckenridge for its support of several youth endurance training programs that take place in the community, including ski mountaineering, mountain biking, and running. Several young athletes accompanied Mr. Howdyshell, including a couple of national champions. Mr. Wren Arbuthnot, representing the Breckenridge Bolts and the Summit Youth Hockey Program, thanked the Town for its support of youth hockey and the Bolts team. Mr. Arbuthnot stated the team had some successes this year, as well as two players who will move up to the next level of play. Mr. Arbuthnot then presented Council with a signed picture of the team. There were no additional comments and Citizen's Comment was closed.

B) BRECKENRIDGE TOURISM OFFICE UPDATE

Mr. Brett Howard, Marketing Manager for the BTO, stated international business is down by 25%, but overall occupancy is up (which indicates perhaps second homeowners are using their properties more). Mr. Howard also stated the average nightly rate is 4.4% up, and April is down quite a bit after Easter, but overall for the winter season Breckenridge is up by 1% over last season. He further stated summer is pacing about 2% down, but they are watching the short booking window and expect to bring that up closer to summer. Mr. Howard stated Breck Pride feedback was good, and participation was good with about 500-600 people taking part in the event. Mr. Howard stated they are working on the Tourism Master Plan, and the new website launches on Monday at gobreck.com. Mr. Dudick asked about how AirBnB and VRBO factor into occupancy numbers, and Mr. Howard stated they capture about 80% of that business in the reports.

1) TOWN PROJECT HEARING - RIVERWALK PARKING STRUCTURE

Ms. Julia Puester, Planning Manager, introduced the Town Project: Breckenridge Parking Structure. Ms. Puester read into record details about the project, including the size and location of the structure, as well as a history of the area and past discussions by the Council and public feedback opportunities over the past year. Ms. Puester showed the vehicular and pedestrian access points, designs for the structure and recommended materials for use. Mr. Holman stated this project was not done in a vacuum, and the process has taken more than three years. He further stated we waited as a community to build this structure until some other things had been completed, such as walkability improvements, roundabout construction and other initiatives to get people out of their cars. Mr. Holman stated we currently have demand for 1.4 vehicles for every parking space in the F-Lot. He also explained that parking incentives will vary based on the time of day, with the goal being to better manage parking in that area. Mr. Holman added that there have been ample opportunities for public comment over the past year. Mr. Bergeron asked about the highest peak of the building, at 49 feet, which is the elevator shaft, and the height of the top level, which will be one story above the current F-lot grade. Mayor Mamula stated the Town has made multiple attempts to work with the ski area for use of the South Gondola Lot and was rebuffed at every offer to purchase the property. He further stated the ski area feels this is where it belongs, and they would like to see 900 spaces on the F-Lot. Mayor Mamula also stated this has been a long process and Council looked at every other option, so we need to move forward with property we own. Mayor Mamula opened the public hearing on the project. Mr. Jim Coburn, a Breckenridge resident, spoke in support of the South Gondola Lot as a location for the garage. He stated the ticket windows and transit and pedestrian options in that area would be best for the garage. Mayor Mamula explained the Town has tried to pursue it and has been absolutely rebuffed. Mayor Mamula read into record a portion of a letter Vail Resorts wrote to the Town in response to a request to purchase the gondola lot for the construction of a parking garage. Mr. Ken Dion, a Breckenridge resident, stated he appreciated the planning process and asked about the plan for managing pedestrian traffic across Highway 9 with a new roundabout. Mr. Holman stated the Town is committed to putting personnel in that area during peak days and times, and is considering adding a physical barrier with limited crossing locations in the future. Mr. Burke added we have completed numerous pedestrian studies for the area and we have a plan. Mr. Chris Malo, a Breckenridge property owner, stated he doesn't understand why the gondola doesn't run until 10pm, and asked the Town to apply some leverage to the ski resort so that the gondola runs later to service those homes, using Telluride as an example. Mayor Mamula stated the Town has very little leverage with the resort, and since we just passed the sales tax, we can look to tweak that in the future. Mr. Bergeron stated the ski resort’s revenue is much bigger than the products we tax, and it's a possibility to go to the voters again for additional revenue from lift tickets that could be used to fund the gondola operation. Mr. Dudick added the Telluride gondola cost is borne by the property owners in the area and not the ski resort. Mr. Dudick also stated the BGV properties on Peak 8 use shuttles for their guests. Mr. Tim Sion, a Breckenridge resident, asked specific questions about the structure construction, including timing and how many of the lots will be closed for the construction period? Staff stated the Town will lose about 300 spaces during construction, and it is expected to cost roughly 32 million dollars, with 15 million of that for the structure itself, with the rest for other improvements, including heated sidewalks, restrooms and a lobby. Staff added construction starts in June. Mayor Mamula stated the annual lift ticket tax revenue will cover the debt service for this project, and Mr. Burke pointed out that since this is in the heart of the town, we don't

want this to be a plain parking garage so we will need the additional design and costs. Mr. Sion stated he thinks the amount seems like a lot. Mr. Hal Vatcher, a Breckenridge resident, stated he would like to commend current and past Town councils for finally taking action about parking. He stated we have a parking and congestion problem, we used consultants to find solutions, and we are working to find the right solutions for the Town. He stated the Council has considered all of these suggestions and this is the right solution. Mr. Michael Berteaux, a Breckenridge resident, stated he thinks this project is a big mistake, the goal is to solve parking and this will only add to the traffic gridlock. He further stated the Town should consider implementing F-Lot paid entry with a gate now. Mr. Berteaux stated the site could be a convention center and he agrees with Council that the South Gondola Lot is the ideal location, so he would suggest considering a property swap, condemnation, or eminent domain. Mr. Berteaux also asked Council not to run the gondola until 10pm. Mayor Mamula closed the public hearing. Mayor Mamula stated that as the Town works through this, we are still trying to engage Vail Resorts. Mr. Dudick added we are done waiting to see what happens and if we are going to do something, we are doing something soon. Ms. Gigliello stated that she wanted to clarify that we have been discussing this for the past three years and our lack of discussion doesn't mean lack of consideration. Mr. Bergeron stated if left on his own he would have answered the letters to Vail directly, and he is glad cooler heads prevailed in case they ever open the lines of communication. Ms. Wolfe stated change can be unsettling and it's good to remember that the F-Lot location has always been surface parking. She further stated that if you stand on Main Street and look West, the garage won't block the view, and it's an opportunity to manage something that will be there to serve many people, including Riverwalk Center users, skiers and employees. She also stated that if everything had worked out, we would have chosen the gondola lot, but we need to move forward with what is best for our community. Mr. Dudick stated that we learned with paid parking that we can manipulate behavior with cost, and different fee structures to change behavior. Mr. Burke stated our interests are the same as the community’s, and every one of your comments is something we have already tried, and our interactions with Vail Resorts have delayed every step. He further stated that Mr. Katz has never attended a Council meeting and now we must move forward with the recommendation from the consultants. Ms. Lawrence added the time to move forward is today. She added that after years of negotiations, we don't have the South Gondola Lot for this use and all kinds of different people will use this garage. Mayor Mamula stated this isn't what he wanted two years ago when he got elected, and he has tried to affect change to put a structure where it truly belongs without succeeding. He added that CDOT has required us to create a dynamic wayfinding system immediately that should help people find their way, we are making sure the elevators are big enough for families with strollers and bikes, and we are spending money doing this the right way. Mayor Mamula added that we have talked about pedestrian flow in the area and we have spent hours in meetings about this structure. Mayor Mamula stated we are ready to move forward. Ms. Wolfe moved to approve the Town Project: Breckenridge Parking Structure. Mr. Burke made the second. The project was approved by a vote of 7-0.

The reports of Mayor and Council members were covered during the afternoon Work Session.

X) OTHER MATTERS

Ms. Wolfe stated she wanted to bring up the previous Breckenridge Grand Vacations (BGV) hotel proposal in order to clarify Council's wishes with this project. Mr. Dudick recused himself as an interested party in this project. Mayor Mamula provided a history of the project, and the density transfer request that came before Council. He further stated Mr. Dudick has engaged each council member individually on this project. Ms. Wolfe stated she talked about three points for this project, including the workforce housing component, and does the project include net new housing or will it end up buying some existing workforce housing that just moves people around. She further stated these employees will need to be high-caliber employees, and BGV needs to provide net new housing for this group. Ms. Wolfe’s second point was regarding increased congestion on Ski Hill Road, with about 1,700 more trips daily on that road. She stated she would like to require another traffic study in 2 years and if the road has degraded the developer would need to bring it back to its current condition. The third point Ms. Wolfe made was regarding giving the community an opportunity to learn about this project, including a possible open house. Ms. Gigliello stated her requirements would be the workforce housing component (needs to be new, preferably more) and community buy-in since we have heard from the community and it's pretty lopsided against the project. She further stated some “home run” ideas would be if BGV ran the operations or if Vail Resorts let us put the parking garage on the gondola lots. Ms. Gigliello added that she was happy that BGV went to Vail Resorts and was able to negotiate the density transfer from the gondola lot. Mr. Bergeron stated he doesn't think anything has changed with how he sees this project. He further stated employees and housing are his big issues, and an additional call for employees would take away from others in this community. He stated he received positive feedback when Council denied the project, and the project will only make everything worse in terms of traffic, housing and parking. Mr. Bergeron stated he would get on board if the Town could purchase the gondola lot for a parking garage or a similar deal. He also stated he won't live by their timeline and he doesn't want to do any more harm to this community. Ms. Lawrence stated she wanted to clarify whether something is going to happen in that location regardless of this conversation, and while she is supportive of a 4-star hotel, the Town has infrastructure issues and she would like to see roundabouts at Park Avenue and Ski Hill Road, and at Park Avenue and the gondola lots. Ms. Lawrence added she would like to add those roundabouts as part of an agreement. Also, Ms. Lawrence stated she had concerns about employee housing and would like to see more of it, and will consider a specific number necessary. Mr. Burke stated he doesn't have specific requests, but he is struggling dealing with this is because of BGV’s involvement, who he respects as a developer. He further stated Ski Hill Road shouldn't be in this condition, and our infrastructure is at a tipping point, including housing, and the grocery store. Mr. Burke stated Vail Resorts is smart because they have taken themselves out of the conversation by having BGV develop the property for them. Mr. Burke stated he doesn’t think the timing is right, even if the other issues are addressed. Mr. Nick Doran, representing BGV, thanked the Council for their time with the project.

Memo To: Breckenridge Town Council Members

From: Brian Waldes, Finance Director

Date: 3.20.18

Subject: Reimbursement Resolution

The purpose of this memo is to explain the need for and function of the attached resolution expressing the intent of the Town to be reimbursed for certain capital expenditures.

Background

As the Town intends to begin capital construction of the Tiger Dredge parking garage as soon as practical, we will not have time to issue the associated debt to fund the project before we incur capital costs. As such, it is necessary to approve the attached resolution clearly indicating our intent to fund this project with the future debt proceeds, an anticipated COP in the estimated amount of $32M. Without such approval, any capital expenses incurred prior to the debt issue date would be disqualified from reimbursement.

This is a common mechanism used by Colorado municipalities when the timing of construction projects and debt issuance do not line up.

Staff will be at work session to answer any questions you may have.

Hi Anne,   I wanted to express my interest again in serving on the Advisory Commission.  As a resident of Breckenridge for the past 10 years, we continue to see growth and development to both the town and the trail system. I continue to be very impressed with how the town has approached the responsible development, focusing and clustering development within the town, in order to protect our surrounding open spaces and would like to be a part of the process of advising and assessing open space as it pertains to continued sustainable growth and development.    I imagine that everyone who submits a letter of interest is an avid trail user (as am I), so nothing special there. But I value being able to get on our amazing trail system right from our home in Wellington Neighborhood as much as I love an all‐day ride that takes me on new and old system trails throughout the Town and County. I have kids who are just starting to be old enough to use the trails too and want to make sure that we are setting up a sustainable and manageable framework for future generations. The Town of Breckenridge is a special place which is why so many people want to have first and second homes here. As a resort community, we locals have so many more opportunities than other small communities of our size, and as our population continues to grow, I want to support that growth while preserving the values that brought me here.    Thank you again for your consideration,

Breckenridge, CO 80424

I would like to express my interest and intent to continue serving on the Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission. Over the last two years, I believe I have brought thoughtful new perspectives to the conversation and a track record of being prepared and present. I am confident that my inclusion in our discussions has been additive and that I bring a unique perspective that helps round out the opinions of our diverse commission. With that said, I also know that I have much more to offer. My contribution back to the Open Space program will only increase as my understanding grows. The past two years have been instrumental in growing my understanding and I am excited to more effectively apply that knowledge moving forward. For me, being a member of BOSAC has been rewarding and personally beneficial. I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to my community through my involvement and am equally fortunate for the chance to learn more about this integral piece of shaping our community. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from people such as Scott Reid, Mark Truckey, Peter Grosshuesch, Anne Murphy, and Tony Overlock and the rest of my peers on the commission. Their combined insight and longtime involvement better shapes my understanding and gives me greater context beyond my personal experiences that I can then share with others. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this over the past two years. I would like to continue my involvement as a member of the Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission and hope I can continue to contribute my time, thoughts, and efforts for 4 more years.

SINCERELY,

Gavin Dalgliesh

To Anne Murphy,  I am writing to you to express my interest in serving on the Breckenridge open space advisory commission.   After living in Breckenridge since 1991, and being an active trails user during that entire time, I feel I have the desire to finally give back in volunteering. My knowledge in the existing Breckenridge and Summit County trail system is extensive, but I would like to be part of the future growth that is happening so quickly so I may learn more about responsible and sustainable trails growth and improvement. Its also important for our community to encourage, and show how it is possible, for all user groups to "co‐exist" on multi use trails.  I am an avid mountain biker, trail runner, hiker and have watched the open space growth over the years benefitting myself and all outdoor enthusiasts. I'd like to be part of the continuation of this growth and management of our beautiful open spaces.  Thank you for your consideration,  Elke Dratch  970‐485‐2805 [email protected]

Application to Serve on the Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission

Dear Anne,As a avid lifetime outdoors enthusiast and consumer of the magnificent trails and open space around Breckenridge for over a decade I feel it is time for me to step up and give back to my community.

I have hiked, backpacked, mountain biked, road biked and climbed my way around many corners of the world with my experience being concentrated locally, throughout Western Colorado, the Western United States and New Zealand. I have held two short term/seasonal jobs working for the Department of Conservation in New Zealand (equivalent to the Forest/National Park service in the US). I have been a climbing instructor with the New Zealand Alpine Club and an Outward Bound instructor. I have participated in many trail maintenance activities with mountain clubs I was involved with prior to moving to the US.

My husband and I have owned a place in Breckenridge for more than ten years and I have been a full-time resident for about 18 months. I am a town elector. I work part time as a Registered Nurse at St. Anthony Summit Medical Center.

I would bring enthusiasm, experience of pounding many different trails in varied open spaces, some ideas of my own, and a willingness to work as part of a common cause team.

Yours sincerely,Rae Moody

Hi Anne,  I am interested in applying for a term on the Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission (BOSAC). I have been living full time in Breckenridge for five years, am registered to vote in the town, and I have owned in Breckenridge since 2010.  My wife Linda and I constantly enjoy the open spaces managed by the town and the county. During the winter we frequently hike and snowshoe the town trails up French Gulch, around Baldy and elsewhere in Summit and Lake Counties. And we occasionally skin up Baldy or into Francie’s Cabin. During the summer we are frequent hikers and campers, and I am an avid mountain biker.   I’m constantly impressed with the number of new trails the town builds each year, and every year I find a new favorite, from V3 to Trail of Tears to Galena Gulch. And I believe that the recently added Golden Horseshoe area has tremendous potential for all kinds of uses in all seasons. I would love to be able to contribute to the further development of these outstanding amenities for the town.  I work full time out of my home office and have been involved with many volunteer groups over the years. Locally, I have been an adaptive ski volunteer with BOEC and on board of CASA of The Continental Divide. I was also a board member and controller of the PNW Division of the National Ski Patrol. In my professional life I have extensive experience managing teams and negotiating partnerships and business agreements. You can see more of my professional and volunteer background on my LinkedIn profile at www.linkedin.com/in/ronelson/.  I would value the opportunity to contribute my time to the BOSAC, and I hope you will find my background to be a good fit. Thank you for your consideration.   Regards, Ross  Ross Nelson 465 Four O’clock Road #104 PO Box 8176 Breckenridge, CO 80424 +1 (503) 367‐5656

Hi Anne,

I am writing to express my excitement and interest in being considered for a position on the

Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission. I believe that my background and passion for our

community would make me an excellent candidate for the role.

This position interests me because I am invested in this town and believe that I could be an asset on

BOSAC in working towards the Town’s mission of protecting, maintaining, and enhancing our sense of

community, historical heritage, and alpine environment.

I grew up in the DC suburbs, skiing small resorts in Virginia and hiking trails in the Shenandoah Valley.

After earning my degree in economics, I moved to Switzerland for two years and worked at the United

Nations. After short stints in DC and Boston, my story in Breck starts like many others, “I was going to ski

for one winter …” but, then I fell in love with this community. I have never been happier and healthier in

my life. I was initially drawn to the environment and the town; but, it is the community that has made

me seek to grow roots in Breckenridge over the last eight years.

A large part of the quality of life here is the trails and open spaces, which I use on a regular basis. I am

passionate about using our open space and trail system to hike, ski, bike, play, and get to work. (I live in

Breck but work in Frisco and have been able to take the Peaks trail to commute to work, how awesome

is that?!)

For the last two years, I have been working at a public relations/government affairs firm. I work on

campaigns to secure funding for local initiatives, raise awareness and amplify voices for political causes

that impact our community like immigration reform, and work with statewide organizations such as the

Colorado River District, the Colorado Tourism Office, and the Colorado Association of Ski Towns.

I am extremely motivated, disciplined, and well-organized—both independently and in team settings.

With a multicultural background, versatile skill set and strong work ethic, I successfully function in many

different roles and I am a quick study and always hungry to learn more on subjects I am passionate

about.

On a more personal note, I believe I offer a unique perspective because my mother is in a wheelchair,

and I would like to see more initiatives that make some of our amazing open spaces more accessible to

those with mobility issues.

I care about this community, and what open space offers including and beyond trails. I am proud to call

such an amazing place home and would like to play a role in contributing to and shaping the future of

our community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,

Carol Saade

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING The meeting was called to order at 5:31 pm by Chair Mathews-Leidal. ROLL CALL Christie Mathews-Leidal Jim Lamb Ron Schuman - absent Mike Giller Steve Gerard Dan Schroder Gretchen Dudney APPROVAL OF MINUTES With no changes, the March 6, 2018 Planning Commission Minutes were approved. APPROVAL OF AGENDA With no changes, the March 20, 2018 Planning Commission Agenda was approved.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION ISSUES:

• No comments. TOWN COUNCIL REPORT: Mr. Grosshuesch gave a report on the March 13th Town Council Meeting:

• Planning Commissioners have been added to the email list for Town Council meeting summaries. We will take Town Council Report off the meeting agendas but will still answer questions.

• No Planning Commission call ups • The parking structure was reviewed and it was accepted by the council. • Council reviewed the state of the open space report which recounts the accomplishments of the Open

Space department over the past 12 months. • Regulations for the use of drones that were approved by Town Council.

Ms. Leidal: Are the regulations for commercial and personal drones? Can you fly them anywhere? (Mr. Grosshuesch: Yes, for all drone use.)

FINAL HEARINGS: 1. Searle Residence Landmarking and Addition (CK), PL-2017-0070, 300 E. Washington Street. Mr. Kulick presented a proposal to restore and locally landmark the historic house, remove the non-historic structures, add a full basement beneath the historic portion of the house, build a new addition with garage including an accessory apartment. Since our last hearing in December, the modifications are: 1st, a small roof to be added over the apartment door which will decrease the property line set back from the north to 3.5’. On the connector there is a cricket over the entryway for drainage and the placement for windows on the North has been adjusted slightly. An exterior lighting plan is also included. This is the third hearing for this project, Michael Mosher presented the first preliminary hearing and a work session. (Mr. Kulick pointed out the landscaping plan on the overhead plans and discussed the point analysis.) Commissioner Questions / Comments: Mr. Schroder: Regarding the cottonwood tree – my note to myself was that it was not needed, only

encouraged. It seems strange the tree would define the street edge. I don’t think the additional tree is needed. Wondering if staff would support not including the tree and still pass. (Mr. Kulick: It is a staff recommendation based on the Handbook, but it is up to the Commission to decide). (Mr. Truckey: It goes back to the historic character of town and cottonwoods are part of the historic landscape lining streets.)

Mr. Lamb: Do you know where the water and sewer lines run? (Ms. Sutterley: no.) Mr. Gerard: On the cottonwood, it is a double front yard and I personally support the addition of a

Town of Breckenridge Date 03/20/2018 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Page 2

cottonwood along French Street. I think it’s recommended to be along both street frontages. (Mr. Kulick: Yes, that is the same conclusion as staff.)

Ms. Leidal: I agree, the only shown cottonwood is off site along Washington Avenue. Mr. Lamb: The yard on French looks like the cottonwood would overwhelm it. (Mr. Kulick: Janet might

speak to that.) Janet Sutterley, Architect, presented: I would like to make some points about the tree. First, you already approved the landscape plan at the last hearing and we have not made any changes. Second, the street alignments on cottonwood trees is encouraged but not required and I think we have to look at each specific case. We have proposed a nice plan and not asked for positive points. Next, we have a lot going on the site. (Ms. Sutterley pointed out some trees on the plan.) On the corner, we have an evergreen tree, which offers better screening of the backside of the house from French Street. We are proposing a couple of Aspens, and there is a lot going on there and I don’t want to put a cottonwood on this side. Commissioner Questions / Comments: Mr. Gerard: On the revised window design on the back, with the two triple pane windows: did you

consider putting 4 pane windows? (Ms. Sutterley: We wanted to frame the fireplace from the inside and make it be more symmetrical. Mr. Gerard: The 4 panes are more historic and I wondered if you considered it. (Ms. Sutterley: It seems like there would be too many of that kind of window.) (Mr. Kulick: We have looked at the style proposed on other projects and have found the design acceptable.) (Ms. Sutterley: I hear what you’re saying, but I still think there would be too many 4 pane windows if they were changed from 3 pane windows.) Mr. Gerard: I’m looking at the requirement that the windows should be similar to other historic buildings in the area and I don’t recall seeing many in historic construction. (Ms. Puester: We think that does conform to what we’ve seen.)

Mr. Lamb: I think they conform. Mr. Gerard: My objection isn’t to the size, but that they are not similar to those used historically. Mr. Giller: I have a suggestion, you have a window well for the accessory unit and it would be nice to see

larger windows there to introduce more daylight. Ms. Puester: One correction with regards to the evergreen tree, policy 171 does not apply to this project as it

is not a policy that pertains to this Character Area. Ms. Leidal opened the hearing to public comment: No comments. Ms. Dudney: I do not believe that the cottonwood is required; just encouraged. So I don’t think it needs

negative points. I’m fine with the project. Mr. Lamb: It’s been through a thorough analysis and I think it looks good. I think the cottonwood would

overwhelm the house and possibly interfere with utilities. I like the project as presented. Mr. Giller: Question 1: yes. 2: yes, 3: yes. 5: I don’t think you need the tree. It’s a handsome project that

meets the code and I’m happy to see the house saved. Mr. Schroder: I support the cricket, windows comply, apartment roof is compatible, I don’t think the tree is

necessary. Mr. Gerard: Terrific project. Question 1: I approve the cricket. Question 2: I still have questions on the 3

pane windows but it doesn’t stop me on the project. Question 3: the entry roof is a great safety feature. The applicant is paying the price (-3 points) for encroachment on the setback. Question 4: I think this falls on the cottonwood. I think it should be where the evergreen is, I clearly agree it’s not mandatory but every block has a corner and I don’t like the precedent of not requiring one.

Ms. Leidal: I appreciate all the time and effort put into designing this beautiful project. I agree with staff on questions: 1-3 and with staff’s suggestion to add a cottonwood tree. You are receiving benefit

Town of Breckenridge Date 03/20/2018 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Page 3

of a double frontage with setbacks and the historic guidelines encourage cottonwoods. I support the project with staff’s condition as presented in the packet.

Ms. Puester: I’d like to point out if it’s a regular Design Standard, it is considered a “Relative” Policy and would be in consideration for negative points but if it’s Priority Design Standard it functions as an “Absolute” Policy. I want to see where everyone falls on the point analysis. Does anyone want changes to the point analysis or go as is?

Ms. Leidal: Because the Design Standard is encouraged, if they don’t meet it, they should receive negative points.

Ms. Dudney: Is that true? Mr. Grosshuesch: If you believe the project is in line with all the policies of the standards, there are no negative

points warranted. What we’ve done in the past, if it falls out of conformance, it can still be judged to not have negative points. If there were non-priority policies it didn’t conform to, it would be eligible for negative points.

Ms. Leidal: Right now no points are recommended but -3 points could be possible for not having a cottonwood along the French St. street frontage.

Ms. Puester: The Commission should feel it’s significant to warrant negative points to set the precedent. (Mr. Kulick read an excerpt on cottonwoods from the historic design standards book.)

Mr. Schroder: I’d like clarification on the policy. Ms. Puester: You could change the point analysis, keep condition number three, or remove the condition

and assign no additional points. Mr. Gerard: This is a good landscape plan so maybe they could get positive points? I still believe we have

to look at this so we don’t set a precedent for future hearings. Ms. Puester: Some of the landscaping that is shown (east side) is actually not on their property, it is existing

and on the town’s community center property. Chris, did you analyze the landscape plan for points? (Mr. Kulick: I didn’t specifically measure it against previous precedent for positive points.)

Ms. Dudney: Why would we change the point analysis if four people don’t see need for the tree? I’d like to clarify something. Christie feels that if something is encouraged in a Design Standard, you get negative points if you don’t do it. I would assume if something is encouraged, you get positive points. What I heard is that there is disagreement about that. Does it comply overall to have negative points? I like to follow precedent but that language doesn’t make it clear. (Ms. Puester: It is a relative type policy so in theory, a relative policy could get either negative or positive points). (Mr. Grosshuesch: Christie is right. I have a suggestion. There is already -3 points for removal of historic fabric. You could add “and for not having a cottonwood tree on French Street”.)

Mr. Schroder: For the record, I feel the word “encouraged” just got redefined so I am glad for the clarification.

Ms. Leidal: I look at it like it is “recommended”. Mr. Lamb: They have a good landscape plan and it doesn’t show up in the point analysis but if they would

have known they would have asked for positive points. Mr. Kulick: Being one tree, we were thinking it might be something they would want to do. In the context

of asks, putting in one more tree doesn’t seem very significant. Mr. Giller made a motion to amend the points analysis to description under Policy 24/R to include the language “and the lack of a cottonwood tree along the second front yard on French Street right of way”. Mr. Lamb seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Mr. Gerard made a motion to approve the project as amended, seconded by Mr. Giller. The motion passed unanimously. COMBINED HEARINGS:

Town of Breckenridge Date 03/20/2018 Planning Commission Regular Meeting Page 4

1. Brenner Materials Concrete Batch Plant (CK), PL-2018-0056, 13545 Colorado State Highway 9. Mr. Kulick presented a proposal to have a concrete batch plant production operation, consisting of storing, combining, and delivering ready mix concrete. The raw materials will be hauled into the location from various sources, and will be stored until use. The master plan was recently amended to allow industrial uses such as a batch plant through 2027. There is a nominal addition of density of 230 square feet for an office. The mass addition is 1200 sq. ft. The total is well under the limit. (Mr. Kulick reviewed the details such as heights and the related policies and pointed out locations on the plans.) Staff proposes to have the application reviewed every 5 years. We are comfortable with the best management practices like we have seen in the past. The noise associated with the plant is considered a construction activity. The Town Code says there can’t be noise between 7pm and 7am unless approved through a development permit. The proposed operation is from 6am-7pm for activities on the site. Along with 5 year review, we recommend the review be processed as Class C application and be placed on the consent calendar before Planning Commission at that time. Staff presented amended conditions correcting the dates of the permit, eliminating a redundant condition and placing a finding stating the eligibility for a Combined Hearing. Staff believes the application meets all policies and there are no points with this application. Commissioner Questions / Comments: Mr. Gerard: Is there a travel plan for the traffic? (Mr. Kulick: The estimated truck trips are less than the

previous Alpine Rock operation because there is just concrete proposed with this application. It is not broken down but engineering was comfortable with the proposal. Mr. Brenner might be able to speak to that more.)

Mr. Giller: Under the Policy 6R, the analysis is that the batch plant is not subject to the height policy because it is considered machinery and not a structure. Can we add that it’s temporary? (Mr. Kulick: It was always treated as equipment and not a structure. I see no reason not to add that it is temporary because it further strengthens the position on Policy 6/R.)

Travis Brenner, Manager for Brenner Materials: Mr. Gerard: I’m familiar with the location and from a travel standpoint, I have a concern about the

roundabout. A lot of visitors don’t understand it. I’m wondering if you’ve considered a travel plan that could route trucks to the light at Tiger Rd. so they avoid the roundabout.

Mr. Brenner: We prefer the stoplight at Stan Miller as well. Believe that we would only use the roundabout sometimes if heading into Town. Our intention is to use the stoplight.

Mr. Gerard: Any vehicle is a hazard and I would appreciate the travel plan to use the stoplight. Ms. Leidal opened the hearing to public comments. No public comments and the hearing was closed. Mr. Lamb: On question 1, I agree. Question 2, earth tone colors are a good idea. Question 3, yes. I

support approving it. Ms. Dudney: I agree with items 1, 2 and 3 and approve the project. Mr. Giller: 1, agree, 2 agree, 3, agree. Mr. Schroder: I agree with 1, 2 and 3. Mr. Gerard: I think it’s a good plan and good location. I agree with numbers 1, 2, 3. Ms. Leidal: I support staff analysis. I agree with questions 1-3. I appreciate the modifications to the

conditions. I support modifying a finding for Policy 6/R. Mr. Giller made a motion to amend the comment in the Point Analysis for Policy 6/R to add “equipment, and is temporary.” Seconded by Mr. Lamb. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Giller made a motion to approve the project with amended findings and conditions, seconded by Mr. Gerard. The motion passed unanimously.
