MEMORANDUM
TO:
Gabe Preston, County Planner
FROM:
James Lindt, City Planning Technician SL
Joyce Ohlson, Deputy Director~
THRU:
RE:
Smuggler Telecommunications Facility
DATE:
December 21, 1999
The City Planning Staff reviewed the Smuggler Mine Telecommunications proposal and
had the following concerns:
1. Staff believes that the telecommunication poles were entirely too
large at 85 feet tall.
2. Staff does not think that the flags are appropriate in this particular
setting. If the site plans are to scale the flags would be about 10
feet by 16 feet in size.
3. Staff is also concerned about the historical significance of the
proposed property. The site is a historical property and staff
believes that the construction ofthese telecomrillmication poles
would take away from the aesthetics of the property.
4. The city planning staff strongly urges the county to ask for an
alternative proposal which addresses the above concerns and
recommends that this initial proposal be found unacceptable.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on this County application.

I SECTION VI I
CONSTRUCTION PLAN
Prior to construction, all necessary permits will have been acquired, In addition, the
surface owner(s) will have reviewed and acknowledged construction plans. The site will
be surveyed and engineered as a 25' x 50' pad/compound area consisting of 2 - (75' -
85') flagpole designed telecommunication towers. The facility will be engineered
(Appendix B) and graded to provide adequate drainage throughout the year. Caissons
for the two towers will then be drilled and cemented and allowed to cure for '1:.72 hours,
Following the adequate curing of the caissons, they will be backfilled and the two
flagpoles will then be stacked, Four (4) 10' x 15' slab-on-grade concrete pads will be
poured and allowed to cure, Thence, power (110V & 220V) and Telco (T1) Rack will be
installed, The electrical setup will include a meter base for each Cellular/PCS provider
and the lines will be installed in conduit from the transformer in accordance to County,
State, and National Code,
Final gradinglleveling of the site, if necessary, will be conducted prior to installing weed
block and the washed crushed rock, Finally, a cedar fence (25' x 50') will be installed to
provide security to the facility's compound, reduce encroachment of snow and dust, and
provide visual mitigation
OPERATING PLAN
The unmanned facility will be operational 24 hoursl7days a week. Each PCS and/or
Cellular provider (4 maximum) will routinely visit the facility monthly, The equipment
may be upgraded as cellular technology advances, Furthermore, each provider
continuously monitors its equipment at a central location for functionality and each
provider equips their radio boxes with alarms for excessive parameter variances and
unauthorized entry, The respective provider's technician will follow up an alarm,
ACCESS PLAN
Access to the telecommunications facility will be from Smuggler road, a public right of
way, Thence, upon entry through the locked gate onto the property of Wright and
Preusch, access will be north and east on the established, road base improved road
approximately 0.25 miles to the facility situated between the Smuggler Mine's Tour road
and Watchman's road, Access will be required on an as needed basis (2417); however,
routinely the facility will be visited on a monthly basis by the respective provider
technicians,

Scenic Overlay
(Pitkin County Land Use Code Section 3-60-040)
,~
...
SBA, Inc, believes the proposed location of its telecommunications facility will not be
visible from Highway 82 outside the city limits of Aspen, Within Aspen's city limit's,
visibility of the mine is shielded by buildings and overgrowth (trees) along the northern
portion of Highway 82 and shielded by Smuggler Mountain along the southern portion of
Highway 82, However, in accordance to the pre-application requirements, SBA, Inc,
has addressed the criteria for the Directors approval of the facility
Review criteria addressed for development within the Scenic Overlay and Ridgeline:
...
-
1, If the proposed has utilized existing topography and natural vegetation, such as
ridges and hills to screen buildings to the maximum extent possible,
,-
~
The placement of the telecommunications compound will be situated in a
manner so that the large cottonwood trees that exist slightly down slope will
visually screen proposed cedar-fenced compound. Furthermore, the
compound has been strategically placed in a topographic low, which will
significantly mitigate its visibility from the nearby residence(s).
...
2, Whether the proposed development has been designed to complement the natural
topography of the land, including, whenever possible and appropriate, the utilization
.... of innovative architectural techniques such as earth sheltered design, natural
materials and coloring, non-reflectability and clustering of structures on the least
visible portions of the facility.
~.
,....
The flagpole antennas will be painted white in order to provide the same
appearance of existing existing flagpoles on Smuggler Mountain. The color of
the flagpoles can be changed with a RF friendly paint to provide a blending
effect during the summer months. The flagpole that is currently at the Mine is
planned to be removed.
-
,....
3, Whether the proposed development's height and bulk has been designed to avoid,
to the maximum extent possible, the visibility of buildings from the highway and view
planes,
;...
,
Each flagpole has been designed and engineered to a height of 90 feet which
is the minimum that will be able to support the installation of three carriers
and service the targeted coverage area.
'I'll"-
4, The proposed structure shall be placed so it does not break a ridgeline, unless there
are no alternate building sites on the lot
-
The proposed facility would be situated near the base of Smuggler Mountain,
thus, the breaking of a ridgeline will not occur.

5, Whether the proposed development has avoided the location of uses on the highest
ground or most visible portion of the site as viewed from State Highway 82 and
public rights-of-way, as identified in Section (8)(1),
Although other sites were considered, such as the existing telecom facilty
situated near the midway point on Smuggler Mountain and operated by KJAX.
SBA, Inc. has elected to apply a stealth application that provides the most
visual compatibility with the surrounding area.
6, Whether the proposed development has been located outside of the designated
Scenic Overlay, or on a suitable site at the greatest distance possible from State
Highway 82 and identified ridgelines,
The facility may be visible from downtown Aspen and a portion of Highway 82
that passes through Aspen. However, the proposed location would be the
least visible than other potential locations on Smuggler Mountain.
7, Whether the proposed development has been landscaped in accordance with the
adopted State Highway 82 corridor landscape guidelines and has preserved natural
vegetation, to the maximum extent possible, while using existing vegetation to
screen development A landscaping plan shall be submitted by the applicant and
approved by the Hearing Officer (ordinance No, 98,53).
It is SBA, lnc.'s intent to preserve and re-vegetate as much of the natural
vegetation as possible outside the cedar-fenced area.
8, Whether the proposed developments exterior lighting has been designed in such a
manner that light sources, such as fagade and landscape lighting, will not be seen
from public rights-of-way as identified in Section (8)(1), In addition, an application
shall be consistent with the lighting regulations identified in the Pitkin County Land
Use Code
Exterior lighting for the facility is not necessary, thus, lighting issues are not
applicable.
9, Landforms and earth moving shall generally not be acceptable as the sole measure
of compliance with these regulations, However, they may be utilized in conjunction
with other site techniques designed into the development plan, These methods may
be acceptable when utilized as one of several methods to complement and enhance
development, rather than as the single device for screening development from view
from the State Highway 82 Corridor and as mapped.
The use of existing landforms and vegetation, combined with minor amounts
of earth moving and landscaping (cedar, green, or earth tone fence and re-
vegetation) should screen the base of the facility during the spring, summer,
and fall months. During the winter, the proposed white flag poles should
blend in with the snow covered background of Smuggler Mountain.

10, Whether the proposed development has been designed so as to avoid, to the
maximum extent possible, any Scenic Viewplane identified on the State Highway 82
Corridor Master Plan and Down Valley Comprehensive Plan,
Several mitigating measures have been implemented to avoid the Scenic
Viewplane of Highway 82 and the Viewplane of Aspen.
a. Moving down from the KAJX telecom facility, compromising RF
quality.
b. Facility to be located in a low lying area, shielded by topography,
trees and vegetation, sacrificing RF quality for aesthetic benefits.
c. Use of stealth (flagpole) antennas.
d. Cedar fencing to screen facility.
e. Re-vegetation of native bushes and grasses to aid in screening the
cedar fence.
11, In the case where 1041 hazard areas may be in conflict with preservation of scenic
areas, the Board acknowledges that 1041 issues take precedence over scenic
concerns, These issues shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis,
A 1041 hazard study has been completed and submitted. The independent
study indicates that there should not be any hazard issues to address.

As requested, we have performed a geologic hazards evaluation of the subject site and prepared a
report to comply with Pitkin County Land Use Regulation Section 3-80-050, Our report is based on
published geological information, data developed during the site visit, and conversations with Dirk
Schwartz. Dirk Schwartz accompanied us at the site visit.
SITE CONDITIONS
...
Smuggler mine is located approximately one-mile northeast of the town of Aspen, on the southwest
facing slopes of Smuggler, Mountain. The mine has been inactive for many years and only mine
tailings and old equipment remains. The proposed tower site is north of the Smuggler Mine Shaft and
is not within the tailing piles. There is a slope of 10-15% to the southwest. There is a good cover of
grasses and scrub oak on the site.
I"'"
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION
-
A cellular phone tower and equipment building are proposed approximately 120 feet north of
Smuggler Mine Shaft along Watchman Road. We understand the cellular phone tower will be
approximately 100 feet in height. We anticipate block or mat foundation construction for the tower.
The equipment building is proposed as a modular building with light loads.
-
GEOLOGIC SETfING
...
The reference geologic map for the area is the 1971 Ge%2ic MaD of the ASDen Ouadran2/e.
Pitkin Conntv. Colorado; U.S. Geol02ica/ Survev. Onad MaD GO-933. The proposed tower site is
underlain by a layer of sand and silt containing cobbles and boulders; underlain by sandstone,
dolomite, and shale bedrock. The bedrock is part of the Peerless Formation and parting member of
the ChafTee Formation. We estimate soil depth at the tower site at 2 to 3 feet.

GEOLOGICAL HAZARDS
-
There has been geological hazards of the Aspen Quadrangle in The MaD Showin. Areas or Selected
Potential Geolo2'ical Hazards in the Asocn Ouadrauf!le. Pitkin County. Colorado. Bv Bruce
Bryant. 1972. The mapping indicates to geologic hazards at the proposed tower site. There are
alluvial fan deposits located north of the proposed tower site, which should not present a hazard prior
to, during, or after construe\ion,
,
-
No evidence of changes to the site were evident from a geologic point-of-view from the 1972
mapping. No problems assoeiated with avalanehes, landslides, slope creep, or rockfall hazards are
foreseen at the site.
"'"
CONCLUSIONS
-
There is no evidence of geologic hazards at the site, which would prevent development of the site for
the tower and appurtenant facilities, The proposed site is suitable for construction of the proposed
tower. The foundation of the tower should designed based on a site specific geotechnical
investigation.
-
LIMITATIONS
-
This investigation was based on referenced maps and a site visit. Variations in surface and subsurface
conditions are always possible. We recommend contacting our office if conditions different than
described in this letter are encountered.
Ifwe can be of further service in discussing the contents of this report, please call. The engineering
geologist for this project is Tim Petz.

I SECTION IX
....
WILDFIRE
(Pitkin County Land Use Code Section 3-80-070)
....
The location of the telecommunications facility proposed by SBA, Inc. is mapped by the
Colorado State Forest Service as "Low Hazard". The facility will be constructed on a
_ level-graded surface with a five-foot (5') set back of washed/crushed rock provided
between the radio box pads and the cedar-fenced compound. The antennas will be
adequately grounded to minimize the potential of a wildfire from a lightning strike. The
.... re-vegetation around the facility will also be placed and maintained in such a manner to
minimize the spread of a wildfire to and from the compound. The area within the
compound will be maintained in order to prevent the growth of vegetation.

I SECTION X
WILDLIFE 3-80.80
The location of the proposed telecommunications facility by SBA, Inc. is situated
adjacent to an area on Smuggler Mountain that is mapped as critical elk habitat, elk
winter and severe winter range. However, the facility's proposed cedar fencing should
prevent intrusion of wildlife into the compound. Furthermore, the small size of the
facility 25' x 50' should have a minimal effect on wildlife. The location of the proposed
facility was discussed with Jonathan Lowsky, Pitkin County Wildlife BiologisUSpecialist.
He stated that due to the close proximity to the city of Aspen, the in place fencing, and
the proposed fencing of the compound, wildlife issues would not be a concern to the
County.
