SUBJECT & SITE OF APPROVAL:
The Applicant has requested a Stream Margin Approval for the addition of a pool and associated
improvements. The subject property is located at 1411 Crystal Lake Road, with a Parcel ID of
2737-181-00-018.
SUMMARY:
The Stream Margin review standards seek to protect the Roaring Fork River from development
impacts. The property received Special Review approval in 2017 for an alternative Top of Slope
(Resolution No. 4, Series of 2017), and an administrative Stream Margin Approval in 2018
(Reception No. 645228). The property is located adjacent to the Roaring Fork River, and had the
100-year flood plain and top of slope line delineated as part of the previous approvals.
The applicant has requested approval to adjust an approved plan for a deck and replace portions
of the outdoor area with a pool and associated landscaping and improvements. The home is
currently under construction and the request only involves the outdoor area adjacent to the
Roaring Fork River. The proposed development is located outside of the top of slope area and
outside of the 100-year flood plain, but because the proposed improvements are located closer to
the Roaring Fork River than the approved plans, a full stream margin review is required.
STAFF EVALUATION:
The proposed pool and associated features are located closer to the top of slope, but to not encroach
on the top of slope or the required 15 foot setback. Image 1 illustrates that the pool area is located
Page 2 of 3
between two-feet three-inches (2’3”) and fourteen-feet one-inch (14’1”) away from the required
setback line. No disturbance or development is permitted in the top of slope setback or in the 100-
year floodplain.
Staff finds that the applicant’s request meets the requirements for the Stream Margin Review. The
property will not increase the base flood elevation, no changes to the watercourse are proposed,
there is no development in the 100-year flood plain, and no adjustments are needed to the building
envelope. The applicant has committed to meeting all requirements related to the City’s URMP
and any Parks requirements.
Additionally, the applicant has illustrated that the proposed improvements are located below the
45-degree height limitation that is taken from the Top of Slope line, as illustrated in Image 2.

5. Detail on pool drainage shall be required as part of the building permit application.
The pool cannot drain outside of the building envelope.
