Regarding C.3.a: Are the chimneys considered "rooftop equipment"? The elevation of the "mountain view plane" does not depict the chimneys ofthe proposed home.

Galena Aspen, CO 81611 Re: 17 Shady Lane Stream Margin R.eview Dear Fred: The property located at 17 Shady Lane is currently served by Aspen Consolidated. The ccndition of the existing service line needs to be considered in order to determine if the s:rvice sh.ould be replaced. The applicant is encouraged to contact our line superintendent to help determine this. The.location of new conn(lctions and the abandonmentof existing service lines must be approved by our line superintendent, Tom Bracewell. The Landscaping Planting Plan (L 3-1) shows plantings on the District property that the applicant is proposing in order to create visual s~reen f?r th:. applicant's property. We -would like to have the proposed locations staked in order to evaluate the potential effect bfthe plantings upon our property, as well as the effect to the view plane from our property. Additional planting around the existing berm on our property will require sprinkler impro,:,ements that must be included as part of the applicant's costs. We would like the applicant to consider the addition of deciduous species as well as the coniferous species proposed. We would also like the city forester's input on the suggested plantings. . Please .call if you have any questions. Sincerely, ~(~7v-~~ Bruce Matherly . · '. . District Manager , .'. ..'/:':....'...,-,..:.<.' ,'-L.,..: :.";:" ..:':':--. i,,-,........-.,: .--'-:.' 565 N.

The City of Aspen is interested in obtaining a fisherman easement within the high water mark as outlined in the AACP an official Greenway Plan. The City has made this a requirement for multiple properties within the Roaring Fork Corridor at development periods. The fisherman corridor is becoming intact in many portions of the corridor throughout this particular area, making the river a true public resource. 2. The City of Aspen requires more information on the partially abandoned Harris Ditch as denoted on site plan L1-1. Are there any current water rights holders on the ditch? Who controls the water access? Is the City a water right holder on the ditch? Will someone in the future utilize a ditch maintenance easement that will destroy restoration efforts? 3. There are no detailed design standards submitted for the stream margin protection barricades referenced in report. Where will this fencing be situated and by what means? How will this fencing "protect residual run-off an erosion"? The City can provide specifications if needed. 4. Before any tree permits are issued for this project, pending aPJlroval, a follow up site visit needs to take place. The trees denoted on the report and site plan are indeed in declined condition and will most likely be approved for removal, however, preserving the root systems of other existing trees is of paramount importance and some of the construction and landscaping boundaries proposed will affect these s~me root zones. 5. Along with a stream margin barricade system, there also needs to be a upland native vegetation and tree protection fencing system installed. This will protect other areas on the property outside the stream margin from construction damage. There should be a location and standard for this fencing denoted on the plan. - fi' .., ~ 6. The ecological report finding "no observed wetlands in the area" is misleading. There are jurisdictional wetlands within the area directly adjacent to the stream bed within the proposed restoration area. Altholigh no proposed structures exist within a delineated wetland area, the restoration activities do. This work still needs to be identified as a project to the Sacramento District of the Corps of Engineers (Grand Junction). There is a "nationwide" admini~;trative permit available for restoration activities which will preclude going forth with a full CofE 404 permit. 7. River Restoration Area General Comments The City of Aspen is excited by the prospect of having a portion of the Roaring Fork River Corridor restored during this project, yet has some concerns as to the process and the technical function of the design proposed. Riparian restoration is much more of a process than the planting of various plants within certain areas. It involves soil identification and management, studies of typical water flow (hydrogeomorphology), baseline botanical studies on existing herbaceous vegetation, identification of appropriate planting times, identification of appropriate planting methods, supplemental temporary irrigation requirements, temporary erosion control requirements, native seeding regimes for various of disturbed soil within the project. Most of these items are missing within the proposed plan. We realize that the applicant is making a wonderful effort to restore this portion of the river beyond what a normal redevelopment would include, vet we would require these above mentioned items before anv finalapprovarcould be qiven fortheproiect. We remain committed to assisting the applicant in any way possible including technical expertise and direction in order to propel the project towards approval. r-. ~ 8. Plant Material Comments Zone B (Ornamental) This portion of the landscape is reserved for obvious functional ornamental form than ecological restoration. In these cases we provide latitude to the LA to use different plant palettes to achieve the desired results. Oxeye Daisy is 011 the state registered noxious weed list. It is illegal to SE!II or plant in the state of Colorado. It must be removed from thislisf of plant materials. 9. Plant Material Comments Zone A Cornus sericea ... not Corn us stolonifera Mountain Nine Bark (P. opulifolis) is not native to this ecotype. Nearest range is near Leadville Prunus virginiana melanocarpa .. not Prunus virginiana Ribes inerme .. (Wax Current) .. where it just says Ribes Symphoricarpos orephalus .. not Symphoricarpos alba (non- native) Again, these plants need to be placed on site within different hydrological zones. On the top of slope where this vegetation is proposed, permanent i...rigation will need to be installed as these plant materials are very hydric.. require a specification amount of moisture. Larger plant materials existing on site have tapped into the water table. A blue spruce and a ponderosa pine have obvious initial water requirements for establishment.. where do each of them fit into this zone.. no real planting plan. 10. Plant Materials Comments Zone D and Zone E Each of these plant materials are native to this ecotype and will work well in certain configurations. The problem is their locatiolls6ased upon the site plan will not work well as C)lItlined. The Zone E plant materials have excellent survival potential.. yet for example S. acutus and S. pungens are found in submerged zones of still water at various depths. Although these plant materials are found along some portions of the riparian corridor, the ephemeral nature of the water precludes them in most areas. These plant materials would be extremely difficult to establish on this site. D.cespitosa is a much more tolerant wetland iJVL'''-- 6>'-1JVl.J \"w..,>v IYt &.,j CVV'A-) ~ " t"I -/ A grammanoid which would be better to use in higher concentrations within this restoration plan. Rather than go into great detail about plant locations here.. City staff will assist in a fQlfowup meeting about each individual plant chosen and appropriate locations and strategies. 11. Zone C Wildflower Sod Wildflower sod has been used with marginal success in the Aspen area. Invariably there are a few dominant plant materials which after a few years crowd out the weaker plant materials in the mix. This results in a monoculture of flowers in the landscape. Some of the individual plants within this wildflower sod are very aggressive and would nofbe appropriate along the river corridor. They are marked on the site plan comments.
