COMMENTS /UNIQUE CONCERNS: C a June 16, 1989 Ms. Leslie Lamont P1tkln County Planning Department 1 :•1 Stu" RE: Ooldsbury Pond Renovation MARK BEDELL Dear Leslie: The Ooldsbury ponds at the end of Sneaky Lane presently provide poor habitat for trout and water fowl for the following reasons: 1. The ponds are very shallow, creating higher water temperatures and high solar penetration. This condition promotes tremendous weed growth and a continuous build up of rotting pond detritus. 2. The pond edges are predominately willow and cottonwood. There are very few aquatic plants that provide food and cover for water fowl. We propose to deepen the ponds by dredging and trucking the fill material off -site. The two ponds on the south -east side of the house would be connected, providing a more interesting entry to the property. The dredging of the ponds will provide weed free pools that will remain free of thick ice and oxygen rich through the winter months. The edges of the pond will remain shallow and a variety of aquatic plants will be installed for waterfowl cover and food. Native shrubs of varing species will be planted on the shoreline for wildlife cover and food. These plant materials will also create visual diversity that will enhance the "sanctuary" appeal of the property. A small pond to the north of the house will also be deepened and slightly enlarged. These pond improvements will dramatically improve wildlife habitat in the Sneaky Lane area by providing plant material diversity and food. The dredge material would be removed from the ponds by using a large excavation hoe. The material would be placed in trucks and hauled away. The access for this operation would be through the quest parking area on the property. The ponds are spring fed and not directly connected to Castle Creek, therefore there will be no impact to the river. If you have any further questions please contact my office. Thank you.

APPLICANT: Mr Kit Goldsbury, represented by Mark Bedell LOCATION: 700 Sneaky Lane STAFF COMMENTS: Section 7 -504 B. sets out the standards for a Stream Margin Exemption. 1. This proposal will not increase the floor area of the existing structure. Work will only occur on the ponds. 2. No trees will be removed during work on the ponds. According to the application, "dead brush trimming and pruning will be performed to improve the health of the live, existing plant material." 3. Again no work will take place on the existing structures and the portion of pond that will be dredged is completely outside of the 100 year floodplain. 4. The proposal will not affect the building envelope. 5. According to the application and site plan "the ponds are located completely outside of the 100 year floodplain. The pond does come within 80' of Castle Creek at one location, but this portion of the pond will not be dredged. The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal and believes that the work that is being done will in fact enhance the existing conditions as long as the fill is not introduced into the floodway. The dredged material will be transported and disposed of off site. The access for this operation will be through the guest parking area on the property. RECOMMENDATION: Approval is recommended for this Stream Margin Exemption with the condition that the dredged material not be deposited on site. rte. i J I hereby approve of the Stream Margin Exemption pursuant to Section 7 -504 B. of the Aspen Land Use Code. 2/ # if 47 Tom Baker, Interim Planning Director 2
