Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX line: (970) 726-5518 TO: Chairman Buchheister and Planning Commission Members FROM: Catherine Skelton DATE: September 25, 1995 SUBJECT: Wapiti Meadow We are in receipt of amended submittal materials for Wapiti Meadow Subdivision. Staff has reviewed the documents and have found the following comments and concerns: The regulations for the Town require that subdivisions of condominiums, townhouses, and apartments must have as-built drawings approved by the Town. The as-built plat is a final plat that shows exact locations of all improvements, public and private, on a development site. The as-built also requires a surveyor to re-survey the site and locate all property makers and boundaries, Instead of an as-built plat, the developer has submitted an amended.final development plat, and an amended utility easement plan. Plat notes and restrictive covenants indicate that no lot or apartment unit may be sold or otherwise separated in ownership from the total project. We have consulted with our legal and engineering staff and have been advised that the submittal materials would essentially contain the same data that the as- built would contain. The main difference is that the development site would not need to be re-surveyed_ This can be viewed by the developer of the affordable housing complex as a cost saving device. In reference to this specific development, StatTfeels confident that the submitted materials will be adequate in fulfilling the Town's requirements. The open space is calculated to be 54_1%. This is _9% shy of the subdivision regulation requirement which states that 55% of the area subdivided shall remain as open space. This _9% is approximately 4000 square feet. The open space figure is different from that on the final development plan plat by exactly the square footage of South Wapiti Drive. Staff has researched a possible solution to the problem and have enclosed a memo from Clay Brown regarding the Clayton Trail Dedication, dated August 27, 1990. The document indicates that Tract A will be credited for .2 acres of open space. (.2 acres is approximately 8712 square feet.) We would like to propose that this .2 acres be credited to Wapiti Meadow enabling the development to meet the 55% open space requirement. The final location of the additional trash enclosures is not shown on the plat. ýÿ o. .'~, . . Planning Commission approved the deletion of curbs/gutters, and the addition of maintained landscaped swales. The Town also approved the deletion of the landscaped planters which were to be located throughout the parking area. The planters posed a potential problem in terms of winter snow removal. One landscaped planter remains in front of the community building. The revised pathway width resulted from discussions whereby, only the paths that are part of the 'trail system' needed to be eight (8) feet wide. The 'trail system' being the pathways on the west side of the development site. The drainage easement through Emal's property has been documented. The re-designed drawings for the culvert have been suhmitted to the developer. Construction costs are been estimated and all related work should be completed by October 15, 1995_ Money needs to be escrowed for the gate ($5000.), and cost sharing construction of South Wapiti Drive ($ I 2,500). The use tax estimate at this point in time is $27,208.31_ Final CO, will be issued when all Town requirements have been met. . .

Box 427 Grand Lake, CO 80447 Town of Fraser: Chuck Reid September 15,1995 P.o. Box 120 Fraser, CO 80442 Dear Chuck, As you know, over the past several months, residents of Grand County have been working to establish a land trust. We are pleased to announce the formation of the Grand County Land Conservancy (GCLC). The conservancy's purpose is to preserve the visual quality, biological diversity, and agricultural and historical heritage of Grand County by aiding and encouraging the careful stewardship and conservation of these resources. The conservancy will seek to preserve and/or enhance open space, agricultural lands, wildlife habitat, riparian zones, wetlands, water quality, scenic beauty, and historical and archeological sites in the Upper Colorado River Basin, including but not limited to the Fraser River Valley, the Highway 34 corridor between Granby and Rocky Mountain National Park, willow Creek Basin, and Muddy Creek drainage. The GCLC's current board consists of Melanie Zwick, Katie Soles, Liz McIntyre, Barry Gordon, Martha Hut, and Frank Drumm. The conservancy as a non-profit corporation formed for the community's benefit, is not a political beast. The GCLC exists to help communities around the county preserve lands they value and to provide expertise to landowners who wish to preserve their lands for generations to come. Think of land trusts as "the real estate arm of the conservation movement." Trusts acquire properties through gifts and purchases. Land is also protected through conservation easements, leases, agreements, exchanges, and in cooperative ventures with government agencies. Transactions are dependent on the willingness of landowners to sell or protect their land. Easements are flexible tools that are shaped in part by the needs and desires of the landowner as well as the unique nature of their land. Funding for land trusts generally comes from individuals, communities, foundations, and corporations. The GCLC will be placing a short video in your local library that describes the work of land trusts. We have much hard work ahead of us; starting a community education program, naming a complete board of directors, developing a membership program, kicking off a fundraising campaign, setting criteria for land conservation projects, and working on an inventory o~ lands in Grand County. If you know anyone who might be interested in GCLC in any capacity please let us know. We plan to become a useful tool for the County, towns, and individuals. Community benefits will come only with community involvement. Sincerely, )' - Liz McIntyre W1~ [~~f45 f,.. -fz-u. tul" ( :1
