MEETING DATE: APRIL 13, 2022. FROM: PLANNING DIRECTOR. Project: Proposed Collins Residence and Associated Improvements, on a Parcel known as Greyrock Village North, Highway 550, near Milemarker 50 and Cascade Village, in San Juan County, Colorado. Application Type: San Juan County Improvement Permit Application. Applicant/Owner: Applicant Mikie Valencia PE representing the Owner Cooper Collins of Ozone Cubed CO LLC. Project Location: 38 acre vacant parcel, known as Greyrock Village North, formerly a portion oft the Durango Mountain Resort (DMR) Master Plan, located on the western side ofHighway 550, near milemarker 50, south of Cascade Village PUD and the Twilight Meadow Subdivision, sharing a property boundary with the southern border of San Juan County, Colorado. The site has the existing Xcel Energy Tacoma Pipeline and associated easement to convey water from Cascade Creek to the Tacoma Hydroelectric Station. The project site is roughly situated between the Twilight Meadow Subdivision and the San Juan County/La Plata County Line. The project site is located entirely on the western side of Highway 550. Proposed Improvements: The proposed improvements consist of a single family residence, proposed driveway from Highway 550, proposed septic system, proposed electric service line, proposed water well. SUMMARY: The application is substantially complete. The proposed improvements appear to comply with the Master Plan and County Zoning & Land Use Regulations. This is a proposal for one relatively large single family residence, on a homestead type tract of nearly 40 acres. It appears the proposed structure will be all or mostly screened with existing vegetation, as viewed from Highway 550. There is some proposed disturbance of wetlands, which appears to be previously approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. All required permits appear to be either approved, or in the process of being approved, such as a CDOT Access Permit, San Juan Basin Public Health Department septic system permit, State water well permit, the Durango Fire and Rescue Authority, and a geotech report is included. No adjacent land owner opposition has been received. The site is within a County Economic Corridor (where development is preferable, when compared to development on remote backcountry sites), while also being within the County's Scenic Preservation Overlay District (where visual impacts are discouraged). The Planning Director and the Planning Commission recommend that you can consider conditional approval of this County Improvement Permit application. There are proposed conditions of approval for you to consider on the last page of this report. Adjacent Land Owners: The adjacent land owners were notified by the Planning Director of this application on February 28, using envelopes provided by the Applicant. The adjacent land owner letter Page 1 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, GREYROCK, APRIL 8, 2022. is attached, which was mailed with a site plan. No comments against the proposal were received. An email (attached) was received regarding a trail in the area referred to as Hoody's Trail (location unknown, it may be located over the existing Tacoma pipeline, or on the adjacent Forest Service Land). All County applicants are required to maintain public access where existing public trails exist. Proposed Structure: One structure is proposed: a single family residence, with two stories, attached garage, some exterior covered decks, and according to the plans in the application, the total square footage (square feet, SF) appears to be roughly (3892 SF + 868 SF + 2442 SF =) 7202 SF. The proposed building height appears to be thirty feet. I believe the application notes six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. There is some mention in the application of a potential future expansion, an addition, or possible future additional dwelling units (septic permit, well permit). At this time the proposal is one single family residence, on a parcel of almost 40 acres. The proposed structure appears to comply with the County's adopted regulations. The County has proposed structure size limits above 11,000 feet elevation, and the County has proposed structure footprint/height restrictions within Subdivisions. Proposed Septic System: Plans have been submitted depicting a proposed septic system designed by the Applicant Professional Engineer. If approved by SJBPH and San Juan County, there will be a proposed sewer service line with proposed encasement, crossing the existing Tacoma six foot diameter ductile iron water pipeline and associated Tacoma pipeline easement. Proposed Water System: The water for the proposed residential land use will originate from a proposed water well, which is shown on the septic system design plans, and described on the State water well permit, within the application. Proposed Electric: There is a proposed electric service line. Electric is to be provided by La Plata Electric Association (LPEA). The application does not appear to specify whether it will be overhead and/or underground. The Applicant clarified that the electric service line design is being developed with LPEA and the intention is to have an underground electric service line buried under the driveway. There is an electric line easement on the project site. There is a professional firm calculating the loads for the proposed electric service line. Photos of the site included within the application do not show any existing overhead power poles, or overhead electric lines. The Applicant clarified that there appears to be some overhead and some underground existing electric on the site in easements shown on the plans. Geologic Hazards: An excerpt of the County Geologic Hazards Map is included in the application, which depicts SW and ES at the site. The County Geohazards Map was adopted in 1976, and SW represents Swamp, which would now be referred to as potential wetlands. The Applicant has included Army Corps ofl Engineers and environmental consultant wetlands permitting documents within the submittal. The existing wetlands (and some proposed wetlands disturbance) are well delineated on the attached site plans. The ES on the County Geohazards Map represents aj potential for Expansive Soil, which has been adequately identified, and the application includes foundation design parameters for any necessary mitigation, within the Geotech Report prepared for DMR in 2000, by Lambert & Associates (now known as Trautner Geotech). Comparing the enclosed DMR Master Plan, the stamped Survey Plat, and the Lambert Soil Borings Map, it appears that Borings 15-18 apply to this site. The soil encountered generally consisted of silt (and some gravel) overlying limestone and sandstone bedrock. There was some very shallow bedrock encountered in two of the four borings on the project site. The report includes swell-consolidation tests for Borings 15-18. The potential geohazards SW Swamp Page 2 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR THIE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, GREYROCK, APRIL 8, 2022. (potential wetlands) and ES Expansive Soil have been adequately identified and any required mitigation to address those potential geohazards is included in the application. Avalanche Hazard: An excerpt of the County Avalanche Hazards Map is included in the application, which depicts no known avalanche hazard potential at the site. Reseeding/Wetland: Any areas of ground surface vegetation disturbance shall be reseeded in accordance with County regulations. Proposed wetlands disturbance shall require approval from the Army Corps of Engineers prior to the work. screening/Visibility: There may be some visual impact associated with the proposed improvements, and the County Commissioners may choose to require screening, for any proposed visual impacts that are deemed unacceptable. Gates/Signs: No existing/proposed gates/signs appear to be mentioned in the application. Surveying: A Stamped Survey Plat from the Licensed Surveyors at Moreno Surveying in Durango is included in the application. Zoning: The site is located in the Rural Residential District. The application includes an excerpt oft the County Zoning Map. The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations include the following information about the Rural Residential District: The intent of the Rural Residential Zoning District is to allow single-family residential use on larger tracts of rural land with individual on-site sewer and water. services and good roadway access. - Within the Rural Residential Zone, only activities which do not involve any construction or development of any sort (such as camping, picnicking, hiking, and outdoor recreation) are uses by right.

Industrial uses, including mining, milling and manufacturing are not allowed in this zone unless approved as a conditional use Special activities and uses as defined in Chapter. 5 oft this Code are subject to the review process and additional regulations described therein. RURAL RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. STANDARDS: (a). Size. Minimum parcel or lot area:. five acres. (b) Density. 1 unit/parcel. (c) Setbacks. Minimum setbacks: twenty feetj from property lines adjacent to public lands; and thirty feet from property lines adjacent to private lands. The project site property line closest to the proposed structure abuts Public Land managed by the US Forest Service (USFS). This application appears to comply with the intent and the standards oft the Rural Residential Zoning District regulations. Scenic Preservation Overlay District: The project site appears to be located within the County's Scenic Preservation Overlay District. The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations state: - The intent of the. Scenic Preservation Overlay District is to prevent development, from adversely affecting the scenic and historic assets of the County to the greatest degree possible. Recognizing that the unsurpassed natural beauty and historic remnants found in San. Juan County are some of the County's most valuable assets and further realizing that the County and its people and economy are dependent upon visitors and their ability to enjoy such assets. To that end, the District seeks to preserve the County's natural, pristine appearance and historic sites visible from Highway 550, the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Animas River above the Eureka town site, the. Silverton Historic District, and any other historic districts or. sites in the County. Page 3 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, GREYROCK, APRIL 8, 2022. - Within the Scenic Preservation Overlay District, only activities which do not involve any construction or development of any sort, including disturbing of soil or trees (such as grazing, camping, picnicking, hiking, and outdoor recreation) shall be permitted as uses by right. All other uses within this zone shall be uses subject to review. -. SCENIC PRESERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT, STANDARDS: The following general standards must be observed in planning, design and construction within the Scenic Preservation Overlay District. .1 The District includes all sites located within 1,500 feet of the centerline of U.S. Highway 550 and/or within 1,500 feet of the centerline oft the track of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad . .2 The site must be designed in a manner that protects the environmental assets of the area including timber, plants and wildlife, streams and drainage courses and geologic features. All. site design and development must be done in a manner which minimizes impacts upon scenic views or vistas. .3 All site design and development must be done in a manner that protects the historical assets of the area including historic structures, sites, and other cultural assets located within San. Juan County. .4 Design plans must take into account characteristics of soils, slopes and geological hazards, in a manner intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare of users of the site, and the scenic value of the site. .5 Design of the site must include safe, convenient, and adequate arrangements for pedestrian circulation, roadways, driveways, off-road parking and loading space. .6. Additional: setbacks, landscaping, screening, or design requirements may be required by the County in order to preserve the natural, pristine appearance of the area and to minimize the visual impact to view sheds and view corridors. It is unclear how much if any of the proposed structure will be visible as viewed from Highway 550. There is significant existing tree cover at present. There are site photos in the application, but it is not entirely clear how any necessary tree clearing, the proposed structure, and a possible proposed septic system clearing, may affect the view on the photos post-construction. It appears that the proposed structure will be well-screened, as viewed from Highway 550, due to existing dense trees and vegetation. County Zoning and Land Use Regulations allow the County Commissioners to require "adequate screening. 99 Ift the visibility ofthe proposed structure, as viewed from Highway 550, is found to exceed what is expected, and is found to be unacceptable to the Board of County Commissioners during/after construction, then the land owner will be required to increase the screening, which would likely require the planting oft trees/vegetation. Proposed exterior lighting could potentially be visible from Highway 550. Exterior lighting shall be in compliance with the County's "dark sky" regulations. Master Plan: The County Zoning and Land Use regulations state: All applications for review under this Chapter will be examined initially to determine whether the proposal is consistent with the County's Master Plan. The 2010 Town/County Master Plan is posted on the Town and County websites. Page 35 (and the map on Page 36) of the 2010 Town/County Master Plan indicate that this site is located in an "Economic Corridor." 99 Page 35 ofthe Master Plan states: -Goal LU-2 Focus future development on mining claims into economic corridors that are environmentally suitable, where public services are available and that provide feasible opportunities for growing the community and the economy. - Economic corridors are suitable for residential, light industrial, and flexible commercial uses and already contain existing residential development and some mixed commercial, industrial and mining development. Generally, the corridors contain less-steep terrain and more developable mining claims than other parts of the unincorporated county. The economic corridors have year-round plowed county roads or direct access to Hwy 550, meaning that they have year round access to services dependent on wheeled vehicle access (ambulance, fire and law enforcement). 1. South County on or near Highway 550- Durango Mountain Resort master plan area, Cascade Village, the Mill Creek subdivision, and Know Your Neighbor residential area along the south end of Lime Creek Road from the intersection at the Cascade Creek curve to the end of the plowed access. Page 4 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, GREYROCK, APRIL 8, 2022. This project involves a proposed single family residence, on a parcel of nearly 40 acres, with adequate Highway 550 access, which is located in a County Economic Corridor. This application appears to comply with the Master Plan. Comparison to the County Regulations: The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations state: If consistent with the Master Plan, all applications will be reviewed to determine whether, based upon the objective facts contained within the record before the reviewing body: (a) The proposal will have any adverse impact on public health, safety, morals or welfare. The proposal is not expected to have an adverse impact on public health, safety, morals, or welfare. (b) Adequate potable water is available or can be developed to safely support the proposed use, including fire control and suppression. The proposal is includes a proposed water well and the water quality/potability is unknown at this time. Regarding fire suppression, this application was forwarded by email by the Planning Director to Durango Fire and Rescue Authority (DFRA) for fire related comments, and the Applicant has been coordinating with DFRA for approval of the proposed improvements. (c) Adequate sewage disposal can be provided to support the proposed use. The proposal includes a proposed septic system design. All County permits are contingent on septic system approval from San Juan Basin Public Health Department (SJBPH). (d) The proposed use will have any adverse effect on public or private property in the vicinity oft the development. The proposed single family residential use is not expected to have a significant adverse effect on nearby public or private property. (e) The proposed use will have any adverse effect on scenic values, historic sites or structures, air or water or environmental quality, wildlife (including habitat, food sources, migration routes, hunting, etc.), erosion or other geological condition. The proposed single family residential use is not expected to have a significant adverse effect on scenic values, historic sites/structures, environmental quality, wildlife, erosion, or other geologic condition. Some ofthe proposed improvements will be visible from Highway 550, such as the proposed driveway where it meets Highway 550, potentially a portion ofthe proposed structure could be visible from Highway 550, and/or potentially lighting could be visible from Highway 550. All proposed permanent devedopmemumpovememts will have some level ofi impact on scenic values, wildlife, and the environment. There will be some wetlands disturbance. There will be some ground surface soil and vegetation disturbance which can be expected in association with any proposed driveway and proposed structure. The application indicates that methods of minimizing potential impacts are being incorporated into the design of the proposed improvements. (flg) Adequate road access exists or can be developed to ensure access appropriate to the use, including access for emergency: services. If access is via a private road, the applicant shall apply for and obtain an access permit for the private road, from the relevant agency. The proposal includes a CDOT Access Permit Application, and some correspondence to/from CDOT. All County permits are contingent on the obtaining oflegal written access documentation. There is a proposed driveway which appears adequate for emergency services access. The proposed driveway shall be in accordance with any forthcoming fire truck access requirements of the DFRA such as maximum grade and minimum width. Page 5 of9 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, GREYROCK, APRIL 8, 2022. (h) Adequate utilities are or can be made available for the proposed use, unless deemed unnecessary or not practical. Adequate proposed utilities are being designed for the proposed single family residential use. (i) Adequate emergency services exist to serve the proposed use, unless deemed unnecessary or not practical. The applicant has been working with Karola Hanks of the Durango Fire and Rescue Authority (DFRA). The Applicant has recently submitted email correspondence regarding that review, and the current discussion is regarding fire sprinklers versus water cisterns. Fire mitigation outside oft the structure is also proposed, and the DFRA is reviewing the proposed driveway in relation to adequate fire truck access. It is expected that the County approval of this proposed single family residence will not cause the emergency services agencies to exceed their capacity, or create an undue burden on those agencies. The emergency services agencies responding to any unexpected emergency at this site would typically originate from the La Plata County, due to the site location. The County approval is conditional on the applicant obtaining final approval of the proposed improvements from DFRA. (i) There are natural hazards which may adversely affect the site or the proposed use of the site. The potential natural hazards at this site appear to include: existing wetlands some of which are proposed to be disturbed, which is being regulated by the Army Corps of Engineers; potential expansive soil which is evaluated by Lambert and Associates Geotech (now known as Trautner Geotech), with any required foundation design/mitigation requirements described in that report. There is not any known, mapped avalanche potential, according to the adopted County Avalanche Map. There is some wildfire risk, due to existing trees, and the applicant has been working with DFRA regarding proposed fuel reduction around the proposed structure. The County regulations require land owners to utilize the Colorado Firewise guidelines to reduce fire risk. County Road & Bridge Comments: This application (for a proposed structure at the Greyrock Village North parcel) has not been submitted to the County Road and Bridge Department for comments, because the site is not located near any County Roads. Abbreviated Process: Another submittal (or two) for this project would be likely to be a resubmittal of the same documents currently before you. There are a few "loose ends" to "tie up, 99 which could create an addition brief submittal to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the County Commissioners, or the Commissioners may choose to allow those to be addressed as conditions of approval. The County Commissioners may determine that this application is eligible to be "exempted" from the three step review process described in the County Zoning and Land Use Regulations. Or the County Commissioners may decide to review this once more, in order to to personally review the forthcoming final approvals and documents. Please see condition number 4 at the end of this staff report. Planning Commission Review: The Planning Commission reviewed this application on March 15. The Planning Commission recommended conditional approval, with the conditions of approval at the end of this report. A letter from the Planning Commission summarizing their recommendations was received on April 8 and it is attached. Some specifics discussed by the Planning Commission were the following: the proposed electric lines (whether they will be underground or overhead), an existing trail (named Hoody's Trail) located on or near the site, the possibility of allowing an abbreviated review process, and encouraging CDOT to not necessitate additional wetlands disturbance. The Planning Commission recommended conditional approval, with a change to condition of approval number 14. They recommended that the owner shall pay for the Town of Silverton trash (refuse transfer station) utility Page 6of9 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, GREYROCK, APRIL 8, 2022. service (regardless of where the owner might deposit their trash). That revision is reflected in condition number 14 at the end of this staff report. Legal Notice: The legal notice for this April 13 Public Hearing was published in the local newspaper on March 24, and a copy of that published legal notice is attached. Supplemental Information: The applicant started working with County staff on this application last year. The applicant submitted the attached application documents in early February. The applicant plans to submit some additional updated documents on April 8 (just as an update, to show the recent progress that has occurred since February, towards various final approvals from several reviewing agencies). If those "update" documents are received as planned, they will be placed into your packets. Those might include correspondence from reviewing agencies such as: CDOT, DFRA, and SJBPH. The County Commissioners have the following options for actions: (1) Conditionally approve this Improvement Permit Application. There are proposed Conditions of Approval for you to consider below. (2) Denial of all or part oft this Improvement Permit Application. Ifthe application is denied, then it is advisable to note the County regulation with which the project does not comply. A reason for a denial could be the potential unknown visual impacts oft the proposed improvements, as viewed from Highway 550, considering that the site is located within the County's Scenic Preservation Overlay District. (3) Table the application, because there is a critical piece ofi information missing that the County Commissioners need before making a decision. Ifthe Commissioners choose to table this application, it would be helpful to the Applicant and Owner to specify what document is needed in order to be able to make a decision. An example of documentation which may be needed to make a recommendation might be: completion of the pending final approvals from agencies such as SJBPH, CDOT, DFRA, and the Army Corps ofl Engineers. Staff] Recommendation: The Planning Director suggests that this application appears to be in compliance with the Master Plan, and the County Zoning and Land Use Regulations. The Planning Director suggests that the County Commissioners can conditionally approve this Improvement Permit, with the proposed Conditions of Approval listed below.

Wetlands (404) Permit #200175166 Compliance Letter SME ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS February 10, 2022 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District, Durango Regulatory Field Office 1970 East 3rd Avenue, Suite 109 Durango, Colorado 81301-5025 RE: DMR 404 Permit Compliance Grayrock Village North San Juan County, Colorado SME # 000023/220004, DA# SPK-2001-75/166-D4, IP # 200175166 Dear USACE Representative: This memo has been prepared to demonstrate compliance with Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit (#200175166) for activities and wetland impacts taking place at Grayrock Village North, which is a part ofGrayrock Village. Originally permitted impacts from the IP within Grayrock Village as well as proposed impacts from the project are discussed herein to demonstrate that impacts to wetlands are under the permitted thresholds. BACKGROUND Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit (IP# 200175166) for Durango Mountain Resort (DMR) was issued in 2002 and covers the entire resort property including other private property owners within the resort property boundaries. The entirety of Grayrock Village North is now owned by Ozone Cubed CO, LLC. (Ozone). The property was sold by Purgatory Village Land, LLC. and the deed was signed over on May 18, 2021. As a part oft the sale, Grayrock Village (as originally shown on the IP) was split into two separate parcels, Grayrock Village North and Grayrock Village South. This memo strictly discusses Grayrock Village North, where the impacts will be occurring. Please see Figure 1 for the original boundary of Grayrock Village and the new boundary for Grayrock Village North. Project impacts to aquatic resources would be generated by Ozone Cubed CO, LLC. for development of a single-family home and associated access roads and infrastructure. However, DMR is ultimately responsible for compliance with the referenced permit and has a significant interest in the project. It should be noted that in the IP, the conceptual design for Grayrock Village included a residential neighborhood, consisting of approximately 45 single-family homes and 83 townhomes. Ofthese, 26 single-family homes were located in what is now Grayrock Village North. The plans for the northern portion of Grayrock Village (Grayrock Village North) now include only one single- family home (Figure 3). 679 East 2nd Avenue, Unit E2 Durango, Colorado 81301 t: 970-259-9595 f: 970-259-0050 . www. sn 1V. C om LOCATION DMR is located approximately 28 miles north of Durango, Colorado and occupies the west and east sides ofU.S. Highway 550 (US 550) for approximately 2.5 miles. Grayrock Village North is located north of Skier Place, east of Hermosa Park Road, and is primarily south of Meadowview Drive. Please see Figure 1 for a road vicinity map. This map depicts the original boundary of Grayrock Village as well as the new boundary for Grayrock Village North, and their relation to the DMR boundary. IMPACTS Authorized impacts in Grayrock Village were split by the new boundary during the sale of Grayrock Village North and South. Authorized impacts from the IP for Grayrock Village and how they were divided are shown on Figure 2 and summarized in Table 1 below: Table 1 Authorized Impacts in Grayrock Village Village Authorized IP Acres Impact Number 12 0.04 Grayrock Village 13 (south)* 0.01 South SOUTH TOTAL 0.05 13 (north)* 0.18 14 0.03 Grayrock Village 15 0.23 North 16 0.07 17 0.11 NORTH TOTAL 0.62 GRAND TOTAL 0.67 *When Grayrock Village was split into Grayrock Village North and South. authorized impact 13 was split by the new boundary. Impact 13 was originally 0.19 acre. 0.18 acre of Authorized Impact 13 remains in Grayrock Village North and the other 0.01 acre remains in Grayrock Village South. As shown in Table 1 above, Grayrock Village was originally designated 0.67 acre of authorized impacts. When the property was divided, 0.62 acre were geographically located in Grayrock Village North and 0.05 acre remained located in Grayrock Village South. As a part of the sale of Grayrock Village North, only 0.35 acre of the 0.62 acre of authorized wetland impacts were transferred to Ozone to be utilized in Grayrock Village North. The remaining 0.27 acre of impacts that are geographically located in Grayrock Village North, along with the 0.05 acre ofimpacts that are located within Grayrock Village South, will remain with Purgatory Village Land, LLC. for future use in Grayrock Village South. DMR 404 Permit Compliance February 2022 Grayrock Village North (000023/220004) 2 SME Environmental, Inc. Proposed impacts from the single-family home and associated infrastructure in Grayrock Village North are shown on Figure 3 and summarized in Table 2 below: Table 2. Proposed Permanent Aquatic Resources Impacts in Grayrock Village North Associated Authorized Aquatic Impact Area Impact Area Resource Type Square Feet Acres P1 14 PEM Wetland 4,524 0.10 P2 16 PEM Wetland 1,026 0.02 P3 17 PEM Wetland 4,927 0.11 TOTAL 10,477 0.24* *Acreage total based on the sum of square feet/43,560, not sum of acreages As shown in Table 2 above, the proposed impacts (0.24 acre) are less than the authorized impacts (0.35 acre), and Ozone still has 0.11 acre of authorized impacts remaining. Figure 4 shows the locations ofthe authorized impacts overlain on the proposed impacts. As depicted in that figure, the proposed impacts generally line up with the locations oft the authorized impacts. The location ofImpact 17 has been altered slightly, however the proposed impact near this location is the same as the authorized impact (0.11 acre). The location of the access road was changed per a CDOT request, which is discussed below. However, proposed impacts are still under the authorized impact threshold. LOCATION OF THE ACCESS ROAD The access road for Grayrock Village North was originally designed to be in the same location as IP Authorized Impact 17. However, per a CDOT request, the access road was moved further north and directly opposite of the existing access road to the Boyce Lake Village, which is on the east side ofUS 550. CDOT cited a reduction in the number ofturn areas to avoid conflicting left turn movements within the Durango Mountain Resort Area as the reason for this request. While this request resulted in a minor change in the location of Impact 17, the wetland impact acreage from the access road remains the same (0.11 acre). CONCLUSION The purpose of this letter is to demonstrate compliance with Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit (#200175166) for activities and wetland impacts taking place at Grayrock Village North. Grayrock Village was split into Grayrock Village North and Grayrock Village South through a real estate transaction. As summarized above, 0.35 acre of the 0.62 acre of authorized impacts within Grayrock Village North were transferred to Ozone as part of the sale. Proposed impacts within Grayrock Village North are 0.24 acre, which come from a single-family home and associated infrastructure. Overall, proposed impacts are 0.11 acre below authorized impacts, and therefore, this project is in compliance with IP 200175166.

DFRA Email, Driveway Plan & Wildfire Mitigation Plan Michal Valencia From: Hanks, Karola <KarolaHanks@durangofre.org> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2022 9:33 AM To: mikesds@gmail.com Subject: RE: Collins Residence Hwy 550 N Durango Mikie, It is an interior automatic fire sprinkler system. The sprinkler system is designed for a fire within the home and the wildfire mitigation plan is for a fire from the exterior. In an effort to assist the homeowner in understanding why we are concerned with both aspects (interior and exterior) here is some additional information. The closest fire station, located across from Purgatory, is a volunteer only station. The area only has a single volunteer due to the demographics of the area and as such is not adequate response. The closest career station (station 15) is located across from the entrance to Electra Lake and is staffed with 3 career personnel. As a result, a fire within the home would dispatch the station 15 and 16 resulting in a maximum of 4 personnel. As such, the responding apparatus would be a fire engine and a medic unit, no tanker. The tanker would be coming from stations either in the animas valley or the city of Durango with a signiticant response time. The automatic fire sprinkler system in 95% of all activations recorded in the nation has kept the fire to the area or room of origin. The wildfire mitigation plan is to establish defensible space to protect the home from a fire approaching the home. Your clients next question will most likely be, why don't we have a career station at the Purgatory location. Chief and I evaluate this every year. Ultimately it is a decision based on call volume and the call volume of the area in question does not warrant the career staffing. The career staffing of 3 personnel for 24/365 is the hiring of 9 personnel and results in a cost of 900,000 dollars between salaries and benefits. Based on this we have continued to pursue the life safety aspects that your client is currently learning about; the driveway access, the automatic fire sprinkler system, and the wildfire mitigation plan. In order to maintain the minimum level of safety and resilience for your client and/or their property to survive and recover from an incident these are the critical components until such time that the call volume warrants and funds the re-construction of the Purgatory Station to house full-time career staff and staffing of the station. hope that this is helpful.

Drawings do not indicate width of driveway, length of driveway and design to accommodate a 60,000 Ib apparatus. When this property was removed from the DMR development agreement, Durango Fire Protection District stated that we objected to the removal unless the life safety components addressed in the DMR development agreement would be met for any development on this property if it was removed from the agreement. Based on that agreement and discussion with San Juan County and the 2003 International Fire Code adopted by San Juan County, please indicate how the fire flow requirement for suppression will be met. All development within the boundaries of DMR were to have automatic fire sprinkler systems installed. This may be an option for the fire flow requirement. Lastly, based on the location please provide a wildfire mitigation plan.

The driveway plan as I have drawn would have turn outs every 400 ft., be a maximum grade of 10%, 50' centerline minimum radii, and have a dead-end turn around at the end. 3 Our hopes were that you could express what DFRA requires in a letter to the SJC BOCC sO we can move ahead with the process of an improvement permit. appreciate your help in this matter. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to discuss this in a phone call. Thanks, Mikie Michal Valencia, P.E. Site Development Solutions, LLC Mikie.

Yes, I would expect shallow bedrock. I saw some test holes dug on the east side of the aqueduct (for the septic) and it was a couple feet of forest organics over some loam and bedrock at 1.5' in one location and 3' in another. The house is above the aqueduct to the west and at the top of that ledge. I would say it is more in the area of TB-17 and 18 based on the contours. haven't been up there but they told me it actually slopes down to the west. This site plan shows the house location. Ify you could let me know when you would be available for a site visit, I can have the excavator out there. Thanks, Mikie Michal Valencia, P.E.

It is hard to tell the location of the site from the Lambert report. Could you send me the location of the site? Depending on if there is shallow bedrock, we may be able to perform a site recon and/or test hole observations versus drilling to keep the project moving, as we are scheduling into mid to late July for new drill projects. Ift there is shallow bedrock, we can take this approach and we would require a site visit during construction to verify our recommendations. It looks like Lambert encountered shallow bedrock in TB-17, 18, but not in TB-16. Best Regards, Tom Tom Harrison, P.E.

MEETING DATE: APRIL 13, 2022. FROM: PLANNING DIRECTOR. Project: San Juan County Improvement Permit Application, Proposed Grading, Gates, and Mine Portal Work, at the Old Hundred Mine and Mill, and the Gary Owen Mine. Applicant/Owner: Applicant Bill Jones representing the Owner Mountainaire Holdings LLC. Project Location: The Old Hundred Mine, Old Hundred Mill, Old Hundred Mine Tour, and the Gary Owen Mine, located in Cunningham Gulch. Proposed Improvements: The Applicant is applying to use construction heavy equipment in May for the following proposed improvements for the general purpose of public safety and MSHA regulations. 1. Re-grade road: Proposed re-grading of an existing historic access road up to the Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level) open mine portal (oft the Old Hundred Mine). 2. Portal door 1: Proposed plaçement of aj portal door at the Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level) open mine portal (oft the Old Hundred Mine). 3. Gate 1: Proposed re-installation of a missing gate post at an existing cable/chain gate, located across the existing access road to the Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level) open mine portal (of the Old Hundred Mine), along County Road 4A. 4. Gate 2: Proposed placement of two gate posts and a cable/chain gate at the Old Hundred Mill "historic mill site, 99 along County Road 4. 5. Gate 3: Proposed placement oft two gate posts and a cable/chain gate on the existing historic access road leading to the Gary Owen Mine (along County Road 3B, according to the County Road & Bridge Department). 6. Portal door 2: Proposed placement of on-site gravel, to fill in the ground surface which trespassers tunneled under, along the base of the existing metal grate portal door, at the Gary Owen Mine portal. 7. Other: The Applicant mentioned that there could be County Road closure(s) necessary during construction. There could be proposed signage not mentioned in the application, which would require a County Sign Permit Application. The Applicant requests a County permit approval for the above work, and to be able to repeat the proposed re-grading and/or maintenance annually, if necessary, each May. SUMMARY: The Applicant is proposing road re-grading, mine portal door placement/repair, and placement of roadway gates, to limit public personchidlelouiseRV, access, in an area of two mine portals, and al historic site, for the general purpose of public safety, and MSHA regulations. The site is the Old Hundred Mine, Old Hundred Mill, Old Hundred Mine Tour, as well as the nearby Gary Owen Mine, all of which are located in Cunningham Gulch. The Applicant may need to close the County Road(s) temporarily during construction, mostly due to potential rockfall. The Applicant is also requesting a County permit to do annual maintenance each May if needed. The Planning Director and Planning Commission recommend you consider conditional approval of this County application. There are proposed conditions ofa approval on the last page oft this report. Page 1 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. Application: The application is substantially complete, and generally meets the County's submittal requirements. However, recent survey work and monumentation is lacking, along the two existing historic access roads: one from County Road 4A up to the Number 2 Level mine portal of the Old Hundred Mine, and one from County Road 3B up to the Gary Owen Mine portal. Old surveys (and current aerials) were located and thoroughly researched, to determine the locations of the existing roads and proposed improvements. Adjacent Land Owners: The adjacent land owners were notified by the Planning Director of this application on February 28, using envelopes provided by the Applicant. The adjacent land owner letter is attached, and was mailed with a site plan. No comments for or against the proposal were received to date. I was contacted about the location of the proposed gate across the Gary Owen Mine road, by the Frisco Lode owner Mr. Foster, through Tommy Wipf in person on March 7. Mr. Foster inquired ifthe access to the Frisco Lode might potentially be blocked by a new gate. I was contacted by Mrs. Lundberg who had received a torn and empty envelope, and I forwarded applicable information to her, in case she wanted to evaluate ifthe application could affect her Camp Bird Lode. Neither of these claims appears to be affected by the proposal. The Applicant provided additional detailed information, regarding questions I had, and had received, which is in the attached correspondence. Reseeding/Wetlands: The Applicant clarified that there is no existing vegetation that is expected to be disturbed, and therefore, given the typically sparse vegetation in the project site vicinity, we both believe at this time that there will be no wetlands affected. However, any areas of unexpected ground surface vegetation disturbance, caused by construction ofthe proposed improvements, shall be reseeded, in accordance with County regulations. Likewise, any unexpected disturbance to potential wetlands shall require written approval from the Army Corps of Engineers prior to the work. A site visit will occur with County Staffi in May, prior to commencement of the work, to confirm that which is described herein. Geologic Hazards: Geologic hazards do exist at/around the project site, namely potential avalanche and rockfall hazards. The Planning Director has attached an excerpt ofthe County Geologic Hazards Map. Screening/Visibility: There are three gates which may be visible from the County Roads. One gate is existing but damaged, and two gates are proposed. The three gates are located across three existing historic private roads, accessed via County Roads 4, 4A, and 3B. A portion of the County Road Map is attached for your reference. The gates are proposed as basic minimalist metal "baluster" posts, with a simple metal cable or chain rope to be placed at each of the three gate locations. The proposed portal door at the Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level) open mine portal ofthe old Hundred Mine may be visible from nearby County Roads. The Number 2 Level mine portal is located on the mountainside, far above the Old Hundred Mine Tour. I believe there is no screening mentioned in the application, such as proposed trees or vegetation. There are no pictures included regarding the proposed visibility or screening associated with the three gates. There may be some visual impact associated with the proposed improvements. The County Commissioners may choose to require screening, for any proposed visual impacts that are deemed unacceptable. Gate Location: The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations require that any and all gates are constructed beyond thirty feet from the existing outside edge of the nearby County Road. Therefore all three of the gates associated with this application shall be located at least thirty feet from the edge oft the adjacent County Road driving surface. The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations state: Gates, posts, or permanent manmade structures shall not be built within thirty, feet from the edge ofa County roadway. Page 2 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. County Road Closure: The Applicant may need to close the County Road(s) temporarily during construction. The purpose would be to prevent public access during construction heavy equipment re- grading of the existing historic access road, from County Road 4A up to the Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level) oft the Old Hundred Mine. The construction heavy equipment operator will be re-grading the existing road, far above the County Road, and there is a potential for boulders being moved to roll downhill, or for rockfall to occur, from the elevated work site at the dozer, down onto the travelling public and/or the County Road. The heavy equipment operator will be clearing the existing road (to the Number 2 Level) of talus, slough, and boulders, and it hasn' 't been re-graded in approximately 20 years. The road re-grading is intended to re-establish vehicle access to the Number 2 Level mine portal, to be able to install aj proposed portal door, for MSHA requirements and associated with emergency access and mine rescue for the Old Hundred Mine Tour, and to limit public access into the open mine portal. The County Road could also be temporarily blocked by the heavy equipment during mobilization, and possibly during the gate baluster cemsspsemauhsinlin, The Applicant will need to develop a basic written road closure traffic and safety plan, and shall coordinate with the County Road and Bridge Department, for any proposed County Road closures, including any flaggers and/or temporary signage that the County Road and Bridge Department might require. The Applicant shall comply with any forthcoming County Road & Bridge Department requirements regarding County Road closures. Surveying/Mining Claims: The Applicant and Planning Director have worked together over the past few months to evaluate this application using old surveys of the area, as well as existing aerial photography and County Assessor GIS maps. In particular the access road to the Old Hundred Mine Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level) is existing, and a historic access road; yet the County would need written permission from any affected land owners before proposed heavy equipment grading can be permitted by the County. The proposed re-grading oft the existing historic access road (up to the Number 2 Level mine portal ofthe Old Hundred Mine) appears to be located across the following parcels: Charleston Placer, which is owned by Mr. App, who has provided a written access easement deed. Galena Placer, owned by the Applicant. John Lee Lode, owned by the Applicant. Midland Lode, owned by the Applicant. New Departure Lode, owned by the Applicant. Cimarron Lode, which may be involved, as it overlaps with the New Departure Lode, and it is owned by the Applicant. The Applicant has demonstrated that the Galena Placer shares a property boundary line with the John Lee Lode. The Assessor aerial map, attached, which is approximate, shows what is now demonstrated to be an incorrect gap between those two mining claims, with Public Land administered by the BLM shown incorrectly in between. Based on the available/submitted reliable original mineral survey plats, and the associated mineral survey field notes, there does not appear to be any proposed grading occurring on BLM Land associated with this application. The best available maps and documents show the Galena Placer located directly adjacent to the John Lee Lode (without any gap of BLM Land between them). If any BLM Land is going to be affected by the proposal (proposed grading on BLM Land) then permission from the BLM would be needed prior to the work. The application and packet will be forwarded to the BLM by the Planning Director on March 14. There appears to be no BLM Land affected by this proposal. The Planning Director and Applicant then evaluated if a switchback oft the existing access road (to the Number 2 Level) might possibly extend onto the Inter Ocean Lode, which is owned by an adjacent land Page 3 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. owner. No heavy equipment grading should be permitted by the County on an adjacent land owner's private land without that land owner's written permission. Based on the available data (see attachments) it appears that the re-grading of the existing road (to the Number 2 Level) is confined solely to the Applicant' s private land, and the proposed road grading is not expected to affect any adjacent parcels. The one exception is the Charleston Placer, and the owner Mr. App has already provided a written easement deed. A licensed surveyor should be sent this application and packet, to review prior to May, and to provide assistance to the Applicant in May, in order to confirm the information contained herein. When proposed improvements are located within approximately 30 feet of aj project site property boundary, the County has typically been requiring Applicants to have a surveyor mark or rope off that boundary line, to prevent heavy equipment from crossing over onto the adjacent land. The existing damaged road gate to be repaired is located across the existing road that ends at the Number 2 Level. The existing gate appears to be located along County Road 4A, on the boundary line oft the Charleston Placer (owned by Mr. App) and the Galena Placer (owned by the Applicant). That gate is located along County Road 4A, past the Old Hundred Mine Tour. That existing gate is missing a post "baluster, > which will be replaced. There is aj proposed gate to be installed, along County Road 4, on the Galena Placer existing driveway, to limit vehicular access and reduce damage to the "historic mill site, 99 which is located straight down below the Old Hundred Mine Tour, down near Cunningham Creek. The Galena Placer is owned by the Applicant. There is aj proposed gate to be located across the existing access road to the Gary Owen Mine. The County Road & Bridge Department Supervisor indicates that the nearby County Road at that location is County Road 3B. The proposed gate appears to be located on the Buckhorn Lode, which is owned by the Applicant. There is aj proposed portal door to be installed at the Old Hundred Mine Number 2 Level (aka 26 Level), and the door appears to be located as high up as the New Departure Lode, and/or on the overlapping Cimarron Lode, both of which are owned by the Applicant. There is some proposed minimal grading at the base of the existing portal door at the Gary Owen Mine. Unknown persons have excavated a crawl-access gap into the mine portal, by tunneling under the existing metal grate door, which was installed by the State DMG (now known as the State DRMS) in 2008. A minimal amount of on-site gravel will be placed by heavy equipment, along the base of the existing metal grate portal door, to reduce access to persons crawling under the door, attempting to gain entry into the Gary Owen Mine. It appears that the Gary Owen Mine portal is located on the Galena Creek Lode, which is owned by the Applicant. The overlapping Buckhorn, King George, and Forest Lodes are also owned by the Applicant. Ifthe urveyingmonumentation is not adequately sufficient, such that it appears that there is a chance that aj portion of the proposed improvements could potentially extend beyond the deeded access across the Charleston Placer, and the Applicant's many privately owned mining claims, then the Applicant shall submit written permission, to the County Staff, signed by any potentially affected adjacent land owner(s), prior to the work. At all times during the installation/construction of the proposed improvements, the operator in the heavy equipment shall be made aware, through adequate professional assistance, on which Page 4 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. land parcel he is located, and applicable nearby property boundaries. Work on any affected land parcel not owned by the Applicant, public or private, needs to be accompanied with the affected owner's written permission, prior to the proposed heavy equipment use. At this time, after thorough research in 2021 and 2022, it appears that the entire proposal, and all proposed improvements, are in fact confined to private lands owned by the Applicant (and within the Charleston Placer written deeded easement). A Licensed Surveyor should be sent this epor/packctapplcation to confirm that, and shall perform any necessary field measurements as needed to confirm that, prior to commencement of the work. Comparison to County Ordinance 2020-01: All County applications are to be compared to County Ordinance 2020-01 upon receipt. The Ordinance is available on the County website on the Assessor webpage. It "red-flags" certain mining claims which are believed to possess previously constructed, mining related remediation sites, or may require future remediation. A purpose of the Ordinance is to avoid the County issuing permits for proposed grading, or proposed improvements, which could potentially have an adverse effect on reclamation sites, negate cleanup efforts, or work against recent improvements in mine-related water quality. The Ordinance includes an alphabetical "Inventory" of mining claims. Mining claims on the Inventory are required to obtain written CDPHE approval, prior to the processing of the County permit application. I was unable to find any oft the mining claims involved in this application on the Inventory. Likewise, the Assessor's webpage features a map ofthe Inventory mining claims, and the map depicts no claims associated with this proposal; namely the Inventory was reviewed for the following mining claims associated with this application: the Galena Placer, Charleston Placer, John Lee Lode, Midland Lode, New Departure Lode, Cimmaron Lode, Buckhorn Lode, King George Lode, Forest Lode, Galena Creek Lode. Comparison to the Master Plan: The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations state: All applications for review under this Chapter will be examined initially to determine whether the proposal is consistent with the County's Master Plan. The 2010 Town/County Master Plan is posted on both the Town and County websites. Here are some excerpts from the 2010 Town/County Master Plan which appear to be applicable to this proposal: Master Plan Natural Environment and Scenery Goal NES-2: Minimize the impact ofnatural hazards on development and the occupants of development and mitigate impacts where natural hazards cannot be feasibly avoided. Master Plan Heritage and the Arts Goal HA-3: Support and promote the efforts ofSan Juan County Historical Society and other entities and individuals to preserve historic/cultural resources. Master Plan Heritage and the Arts Strategy HA-3.1: Establish the Silverton Heritage District. : [which] would include the Town : and adjoining areas. : including : Cunningham Gulch. The area contains significant cultural and historic structures and facilities that manifest the mining, business, and railroading history ofSan Juan County. These resources promote heritage tourism. : provide a structure and capacity for protecting resources and initiating restoration projects including but not limited to: :e Old 100 Mine Tour: Located in Cunningham Gulch, this popular privately owned mine tour accurately portrays underground mining as it occurred in the San Juans. When combined with the Mayflower Mill tour, this attraction completes the story ofprecious metals production in this area. This is generally a maintenance and safety proposal for one of our "cornerstone" Mining Heritage sites. This application appears to comply with the excerpts above and the goals described in the Master Plan. Page 5 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. Comparison to the County Regulations: The County Zoning and Land Use Regulations state: If consistent with the Master Plan, all applications will be reviewed to determine whether, based upon the objective facts contained within the record before the reviewing body: (a) The proposal will have any adverse impact on public health, safety, morals or welfare. There are no adverse impacts expected to occur to public health, safety, morals, or welfare. The proposed re-grading of the existing road up to the Number 2 Level may reduce existing hazards to the public, by mitigating the source of some rockfall, which could potentially have a positive impact to public safety. The mine portal work at the Old Hundred is expected to make the public (many tourists and the employees) safer inside the Old Hundred Mine Tour, and will allow for increased compliance with MSHA regulations. (b) Adequate potable water is available or can be developed to safely support the proposed use, includingfire control and suppression. The source and quality of the existing water at the Old Hundred Mine Tour is currently unknown. There is existing water because there are existing flushing toilets. The fire suppression system is unknown. The proposal does not appear to have any positive or negative effect on the existing water or fire suppression systems, as there is no change in the existing land use being proposed. (c) Adequate sewage disposal can be provided to. support the proposed use. An existing sewage disposal system appears to be in place, as there are existing flushing toilets at the Old Hundred Mine Tour. This proposal does not appear to have any positive or negative effect on the existing sewage disposal system, as there is no change in land use being proposed. (d) The proposed use will have any adverse effect on public or private property in the vicinity of the development. This proposal is not anticipated to have an adverse effect on nearby public or private property. After through research, the proposed improvements do all appear to be located on the Applicant' S private land. The exception would be the Charleston Placer, for which the owner Mr. App has provide a written easement deed. Ihave found no known mining claim owned by an adjacent land owner whose mining claim access would be blocked by the two proposed gates, nor by the repair of the existing gate. - have found no known segment of the proposed re-grading of the existing road to the Number 2 Level that would be located on an adjacent land owner's mining claim (with the exception ofthe deeded easement on the Charleston Placer). The proposed mine portal work, as well, at both the Number 2 Level and the Gary Owen, appears to be entirely located on the Applicant's land. Therefore, I do not believe that any adjacent lands, public or private, will be negatively impacted. (e) The, proposed use will have any adverse effect on scenic values, historic sites or structures, air or water or environmental quality, wildlife (including habitat, food sources, migration routes, hunting, etc.), erosion or other geological condition. The proposal does not appear to have a significant adverse effect on scenic values, historic sites/structures, irlwater/env/ironmental quality, wildlife, erosion, or other geological condition. There may be a visual impact associated with the installation oft two proposed gates, and the repair of an existing gate, as viewed from nearby County Roads. The visual impact oft three post-and-cable type minimalist gates is expected to be deemed minimal, but that is for the Board of County Commissioners to decide. No signs are mentioned in the application, but proposed signage could potentially add to that visual impact, if a sign were to be placed at each gate location. Any signs would require a County Sign Permit Application, to be processed by County Staff at a later date. In general, the proposal will probably have a beneficial effect on reducing erosion (on the two existing private roads which will be gated), a beneficial effect on the risks associated with geologic hazards (the proposed improvements will probably result in Page 6 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THIE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. some likely rockfall hazard reduction), and the proposal is anticipated to cause a significant mine safety benefit for those entering the historic Old Hundred Mine Tour (and by restricting trespassers entering the historic yet likely hazardous Gary Owen Mine). In summary, the gates may cause a minimal negative visual impact, while a benefit is that the risks associated with erosion, geologic hazards, and ongoing environmenta/Ahistorica site damage, may all be reduced. (f/g) Adequate road access exists or can be developed to ensure access appropriate to the use, including access. for emergency services. Adequate road access exists to the several locations of the proposed improvements, because the properties all appear to have direct vehicular access via County Roads 4, 4A, and 3B. The emergency services access into the Old Hundred Mine Tour will apparently be greatly improved through the proposed re- grading oft the existing road, which is intended to re-establish vehicular access to allow for the proposed installation of required MSHA safety improvements at (and down through) the Number 2 Level mine portal. The resultant work proposed at and inside the Old Hundred Mine Number 2 Level mine portal is likely to increase public safety and emergency services access, as that is an emergency ingress/egress which would be used to assist or rescue the many tourists/employees who frequent the inside of the Old Hundred Mine Tour. Adequate emergency services access to the occupants of the subject properties is likely to improve if this application is approved. (h) Adequate utilities are or can be made available for the proposed use, unless deemed unnecessary or not practical. Adequate utilities exist at the Old Hundred Mine Tour, including: water (of unknown quality), sewer, flushing toilets, electricity, and a phone-landline. The other sites associated with this proposal are to remain unoccupied, including the existing Gary Owen Mine road, the existing Gary Owen Mine portal, the Number 2 Level mine portal of the Old Hundred Mine and the existing road leading to it, and the Old Hundred historic mill site. The non-occupied mining claims that are part of this application are all accessible via County Roads, and any occasional unexpected occupants using those mining claims have the nearby Old Hundred Mine Tour's reasonably adequate utilities and phone-landline, in case of emergency. The existing utilities associated with the application appear adequate for the proposed improvements, which do not involve any proposed change to the existing land use, or any increase in human occupancy. (i) Adequate emergency services exist to serve the proposed use, unless deemed unnecessary or not practical. The proposal is not expected to change the volume of emergency response events that our local emergency services agencies might need to respond to in Cunningham Gulch. Approval ofthis proposal is not expected to create an increased or undue burden on our local emergency services, as it involves no proposed increase in human occupancy. (j) There are natural hazards which may adversely affect the site or the proposed use of the site. There are natural hazards at and near the site. The full extent of those natural hazards is unknown. There is avalanche danger in Cunningham Gulch, but the existing and proposed site usage is in the summer only, which serves to mitigate the risks associated with the seasonal avalanche hazard. There appears to be rockfall hazard at the Old Hundred general area. A rockfall event did occur there around 10 years ago, location unknown; I believe it was in the area oft the then-existing Mine Tour parking lot. I understand that there are currently loose boulders on the existing road (which is proposed to be re-graded) up to the Number 2 Level mine portal. During construction, the public rockfall hazard may increase temporarily for those located on the County Road far below, which could negatively affect public safety, for a short period of time during the road re-grading (which would encourage the approval of a temporary closing of Page 7 of 10 STAFF REPORT FOR THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. the County Road during construction). After construction, the public rockfall hazard would probably be slightly decreased. Some ofthe road re-grading could be considered rockfall mitigation, which could have a minor beneficial effect for the travelling public on the County Road below, after construction. There is a proposed gate to be placed somewhat near Cunningham Creek, at the "historic mill site,' 99 down below the Mine Tour, and that gate placemenlconstruction shall not be permitted to negatively affect any wetlands, floodplain, or water features. Abbreviated Process: Please consider discussing whether or not the County Commissioners may permit an abbreviated review process, rather than the three-step permit application review process specified in the County Zoning and Land Use Regulations. The standard process defined in the County Regulations is the following: 1. Sketch Plan, 2. Preliminary Plan, 3. Final Plan. The review process requires three submittals, and six meetings. Since this application generally involves compliance with mine safety regulations, public safety improvements, an existing road, and some gates, but no proposed structures, the proposed improvements may be relatively minor enough that the County Commissioners could potentially exempt this application from the normal three step process, which may allow for the work (potentially affecting traffic on the County Roads) to be completed before peak tourist season. Please refer to condition of approval number 3 at the end oft this staff report. County Road & Bridge Comments: Written comments (on the three gates) from the County Road & Bridge Department Supervisor are attached for your review. The County Road & Bridge Department Supervisor did not state any opposition to the application. Annual Maintenance: The County may decide to allow the requested limited amount of proposed annual maintenance as part oft this application. There could be a time limit of ten years placed on the annual maintenance approval, and/or a revocation of the annual maintenance approval in case of a change in ownership. Planning Commission Review: The Planning Commission reviewed this application on March 15. A letter from the Planning Commission was received on April 8 (attached). The Planning Commission recommended conditional approval, along with recommending condition number 3 (allowing an abbreviated review process) and condition number 12 (allowing annual maintenance). The Planning Commission did not discuss condition number 15 (regarding the County Road & Bridge Department Supervisor's suggestion of placing boulders near the proposed gate on the Gary Owen Mine road). Legal Notice: The legal notice for this April 13 Public Hearing was published in the local newspaper on March 24, and a copy of that published legal notice is attached. The County Commissioners have the following options for actions: (1) Conditional approval of this County Improvement Permit Application. There are proposed Conditions of Approval for you to consider below, ifyou choose to recommend approval. (2) Denial of all or part of this County Improvement Permit Application. If the application is denied, then it is advisable to note the County regulation(s) with which the application or proposed improvements do not comply. Potential reasons for a denial could be: the potential visual impacts of the proposed gates, as viewed from the nearby County Roads. (3) Table the application, because there is a critical piece of information missing that the Commissioners need before making a decision. Ifthe application is tabled, it is helpful to an Applicant to specify what document is needed. An example of documentation which may be needed to make a decision might be: verification on the surveying. Page 8 of10 STAFF REPORT FOR THIE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, OLD 100 & GARY OWEN, APRIL 8, 2022. Staff Recommendation: The Planning Director suggests that approval ofthis application appears to be encouraged by the Master Plan, and that the proposal generally complies with the requirements of the County Zoning and Land Use Regulations.

No. The Gary Owen Portal is on the Galena Creek Lode Survey #12970-A. (2) Will the proposed Gary Owen Road gate affect the existing access to the Frisco Lode? No. Access to the Frisco Lode Survey #12950 would be via the County Road to the Buffalo Boy Mine farther up the mountain from the Gary Owen Mine. The Gary Owen Road is a dead end. (3) Are any of your proposed improvements going to affect the existing access to the Old Hundred Boarding House/hiking trail? No. The trail to the Old Hundred Boarding House is farther up the mountain. It crosses the mine dumps on the Antiperiodic Lode Survey #9684 and terminates at the County Road to the Buffalo Boy Mine. (4) Is the proposed (Gary Owen) gate going to be located within the property boundaries of the Buckhorn Lode? Yes. Both the mine map submitted with the application and the assessor's aerial overlay link below indicate the gate location would be wholly on the Buckhorn Lode. Note that Mountainaire Holdings LLC also owns the Forest and King George Lodes. Or it could be on the overlapping King George or Forest, perhaps. Here is a link to the assessor aerial, which might help you answer that question. wassssaNewsiasbseésuRRaN Thanks, Lisa Lisa Adair From: William Jones bljones@Pronter.nety Sent: Friday, March 04, 2022 5:14 PM To: Lisa Adair Subject: Old 100 Questions Attachments: Old Hundred Permit Questions 3-4-2022.pdf Hi Lisa: copied your emailed questions into a word doc and typed the answers after each one. The attached PDF has it all. One additional request I would like to make of the Planning Commission and County Commissioners is regarding ongoing maintenance. The best way to maintain this road is by annual maintenance with a small loader, rather than waiting years and years and then needing a major project. I would like to have allowance to do routine annual maintenance without going through a permit every time. Of course if there is a major wash-out then we would go through the process. Let me know ify you have any further questions. Have a great weekend! Regards, Bill 1 Mountainaire Holdings LLC Improvement Permit Old Hundred/Gary Owen Road Work Additional Information 3/4/2022 1. Are you planning to do any) proposed gradinge-grading at the Gary Owen Mine road? I think all ofyour proposed re-grading is between the Old 100 and upper portal but I wanted. to ask to make sure. The road to the Gary Owen is drivable SO no grading is contemplated. See Photo #1. We do need to place some rock at the portal to prevent unauthorized access. In 2008 the State. of Colorado installed a steel grate but trespassers have dug under it to get access underground. While this rock could be placed by hand I think it best to have the backhoe used to install the gate balusters, run up and place the rock 24" deep to prevent undermining of the closure. There is suitable loose rock is in the portal cut already. See Photo #1. 2. How much grading of the existing Number 2 portal road do you think you and. Maisel will be doing? Such as approx. depths ofmaximum cuts and fills. Are you thinking that it will simply be clearing some slough talus offt the existing road, or justfilling in some potholes and washouts, andlor are you going to be looking at maximum cuts/fills ofperhaps 3feet deep? I would like to be able to tell the board approx. xfeet max_fill and xj feet max cut. There is to 2 feet of sluff at the angle of repose on the inside of the roadway as well as numerous rocks down on the road. up The dozer would cut the sluff and spread it on the roadbed. Rock would be pushed to the outside edge. Water bars would be cleaned out or re-established to prevent future erosion. We are not aware of any major deep washouts but assume there will be some minor filling required which material can come from the sluffs. The entire road is in talus and has not been bladed in 20 years. I consider the work routine maintenance as opposed to construction. Note that this work will involve a risk of larger rocks coming down the slope onto the mine tour parking lot and/or county road. Iti is therefore necessary to do this work as early as possible in the May prior to heavy traffic and tour opening. For safety we will need to request temporary closure of CR 4-A for the day or two it will take to grade the road. 3. Is there anywhere in your proposal for this summer construction [see note on timing above] where youy foresee excaating/gradng. at existing vegetation? Or are all the gate and regrading/grading areas already denuded? I to be able to tell the board whether or not) you foresee "disturbing any vegetation surface disturbance, want vegetation, wetlands, and/or ifreseeding might be needed. There is essentially no significant vegetation on either the roadway or gate locations. The areas are already significantly disturbed. No wetlands exist. No reseeding is contemplated. 4. Maybe you are installing several gate "balusters' " with post hole digger and there is no there Or will Maisel be digging a pit and then backfilling each baluster. I imagine you are hoping to grass have Maisel anyway. use equipment t0 set the balusters, although that is probably going to create more. surface disturbance, excavation, larger larger backfill area. Ii imagine you might hope to set those posts withsome quikcrete. Due to the coarseness of the talus, excavation for gate posts/balusters will have to be by mechanical backhoe. Posts will be set and backfilled. The backfill will be compacted with a jumping-jack compactor. No concrete is being planned. Backhoe size to be determined based on site conditions. The bucket will be as small as practicable. I am we will use a rubber tired backhoe/loader or mini-excavator. We would not be using a large track excavator expecting like Maisel's Volvo. 5. We don 't have any "recent" survey (or markers up there I think) between the Old 100 and the and an email you mentioned Tim Pasek. I believe; are you planning on having Tim Pasek around at the upper site this portal, summer" in prior to grading? Perhaps to mark close-by, property lines, SO Maisel does not Cross onto a neighbor's land? Specifically, as an example, Cummins' * Interocean. Lode looks very close to the proposed grading and/or road, SO that would be a property line to have a surveyor temporarily rope offmark for Maisel (t0 not cross existing I am aware that over). the road to #2 level is close to certain property boundaries particularly the Interocean. The location of the road and these boundaries have not been surveyed. My locations for the road are best estimates. road was built after 1955 and before 1968. Unfortunately don't have any surveys of the my road or how it relates The to boundaries. Due to the fact the road has been there many decades and has been maintained and used during that time, the road would fall under the "right of adverse possession" legal doctrine for any private land it may cross. Historically what has happened with these old mining road ROW cases is the original constructor likely had permission from a claim owner to cross their property, or perhaps even leased the claims. Since reclamation was not required prior to 1976, the mining road stayed even though the lease expired, the owners changed etc. examples of this are the Mayflower Tramline that had a recorded ROW across ASARCO claims that expired in Good 1972. 1 The tram is still there even though the claims have sold and the ROW expired. The Mayflower Mill's water is a similar situation. It is important we do not delay the work just due to supplemental survey work. We have pipeline to vehicle access to the #2 level in early May, prior to the mine tour opening on May 22nd sO we can fix drainage and get other safety issues in the #2 level around the main shaft. We need to use our small loader/mucker underground to do this work. We also need to rebuild the#2 level tunnel door to prevent trespassers. And as noted in Question #2 above traffic risks must be mitigated and this is best done early in the season. I tried to get Tim Pasek to do survey work in. June last year but he was too busy to get to it before snow and has not committed yet when he could do it in 2022. The likelihood of him being able to survey the Interocean line prior to early May is probably very low. My request is to allow us to open the existing road prior to doing any formal survey work. I have no problem and in fact intend to survey the Galena Placer and improvements including the road and get the north boundary lines established since these are the most critical. Any conflicts discovered would be resolved once they are defined. Due to the public safety issues involved with this open tunnel think this road work is very important. 6. How about Historic impacts, do you foresee that you and your workers might end up unearthing or disturbing something historic like aj piece ofstructure or a relic? Having been on that County Historic Impact Review Committee, you know that the Committee visits sites when there is a possibility ofa historic disturbance or relics. I suppose you could potentially, find something unexpectedly ifdigging gate posts, or perhaps re-grading the road to the portal. I can add that the Historic Committee could do a site visit when snow melts, ifyou think that any historic items or sites could be impacted. The entire area, roads, mines, mill, and portal is infact a historic site, in my opinion. What I mean is that the Old. 100 is historyyet still alive, and the historic portal will be closed with a gate to prevent unauthorized public access. I think it will boil down to nothing is expected to be disturbed, but we would want to ask your heavy equip operator to stop digging and call you and the Committee if anything unexpected (historic) is encountered during grading/excayation As noted the road to #2 level dates probably from the 1960's. The road has been re-graded by bulldozer starting at least in the early 1970's when Dixilyn removed the rail from the tunnel. In 1980-1981 the #2 level and Gary Owen Mine were leased by Asamera Minerals for core drilling and the roads were bulldozed and plowed with a D-6 for two seasons. We graded the road in the 1990's and the last grading was actually done by the county road crew around 2002. Since we are not excavating new soil, only blading sluff, the chances of finding anything "historic" on the road work are very, very low. On the #2 road gate, one baluster exists and the one on the uphill cut in talus slope is missing sO only one hole here. On the mill access road the gate site is within the roadway disturbance. So again neither holes can be expected to encounter anything historic. At the Gary Owen road the gate location is again within the disturbed roadway sO no new disturbance is contemplated. The general location of the Gary Owen gate is at the far right hand area of the road in Photo #1. We have no problem instructing the contractor and operator to call me or you if something unexpected comes up. But think is quite unnecessary to have the Historic Review Committee called out for work that is being done on prior disturbed ground where the nature of the site and its history is well understood and the probability of disturbing historic assets is very, very low. Indeed the primary purchase of the project is to prevent trespassers who regrettably continue to damage historic sites where no controls are in place. Thus the project is actually necessary to preserve the historic surface and underground resources at the mine and mill site. Prepared by: Bill Jones Photo #1.

The town staff is growing, and we are already on top of each other in Town Hall. The offices at the Miner's Hospital are move-in ready and could accommodate the quiet workspace needed for this department. Iwould request that we have this space without charge since we share the Planning Department. With the new building inspector starting on May 1st and the anticipation of more, growth in the Planning Department, we are desperately seeking more offices. The Town explored the Visitor's Center as an option and will be utilizing a currently vacant room for an office for our Communications and Events Coordinator. I am trying to give everyone a space that will increase productivity and reduce distractions. My goal would be to have the Planning Department Moved by the first of May or somewhere in that timeframe. Please consider this request.

You'll remember that, with your cooperation, we at San Miguel Power Association (SMPA) and our contractor, VM West, were able to conduct vegetation management and clearing in the SMPA electrical transmission right-of-way along U.S. Hwy 550, last year. This vital work has already reduced the risk of wildfires in the Mother Cline slide area and right-of-way areas South of County Road 18 (CR 18). We thank you for your partnership. Timber from the vegetation management operations is still on the ground North of CR 18, and we are looking forward to clearing this section and calling the fire mitigation part of the Red Mountain Electrical Reliability and Broadband Improvement Project "complete. tps/lmail.goojecom'minwora-iaSesetaesdsepiseacralspermhnd-tiveac.r SATZ9490A4/S54U98 008 & mp-mig.172490AT. 1/3 4/8/22, 9:48 AM San Juan County Mail TENTATIVE Hwy. 550 Road Closures We met with you in November of last year and heard your request that we complete all work requiring full closures of Highway 550 before Memorial Day (May 30") in order to minimize the impact on local economic activity and tourism. With this feedback in mind, we are proposing the week of May 2nd-6th and May 9th-13th for full closures 8:30am-12:30pm, 1:30pm-5:30pm). In this case, intermittent closures (15 minute) would also need to occur during work periods in the week of May 16th-19th. Please note that, although the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has received our proposal, they have not issued a permit. The above dates and times, therefore, are only TENTATIVE. It should be understood that all planned work is subject to weather conditions and any other emergency concerns. Public communications regarding this proposed work as well as the overall project are already ongoing. Like last year, SMPA Communications invites cooperation with Public Information Officers from each interested organization as well as any information outlet that can help spread the word. While working in partnership with you last year, we heard your expectation that the public should be notified of any planned closures at least two weeks ahead of time. Please note that SMPA Communications will continually offer reminders and information about the proposed work, but will not publicly distribute specific dates and times until directed to do SO by CDOT. We thank those of you who wrote letters of support to CDOT and we hope that this combined expression of public intent will facilitate a full two-week period of outreach to best prepare local and out-of-state travelers. In the spirit of partnership, we, once agaln, Invite any feedback you may have to this notice. If you have questions or concerns, please reply to this message or call me at 970-209-5593. Thank you for your support and communication. Together, we can build a safer and more resilient system for our members, citizens, and guests.

The Improvement Permit Application for the proposed Collins Residence, to be located on a parcel called Greyrock Village North, on Highway 550 at the County Line, was reviewed by the Planning Commission on March 15, and is being scheduled for a Board of County Commissioners upcoming Public Hearing, following publication of a Legal Notice. The County Improvement Permit Application for the proposed re-grading ofan existing road, proposed road gates, andj proposed improvements at two mine portals, located at the Old 100 Mine/Mill and the Gary Owen Mine, in Cunningham Gulch, was reviewed by the Planning Commission, and is being scheduled for a County Commissioners Public Hearing, following publication of a Legal Notice. Several applicants are nearing completion of County Improvement Permit Applications. Two may be complete enough for an April 19 Planning Commission review, including: A proposed cabin near Kendall Gulch Creek (close to Deer Park); A proposed cabin on a mining claim on Ophir Pass. Several applicants are working on County Improvement Permit Applications, which will be reviewed by the Planning Commission sometime after April, including: A proposed cabin on a mining claim near. Blair Gulch; Proposed improvements on a mining claim near Chattanooga; A proposed cabin on a mining claim near Red Mountain Pass; A proposed lodge on a mining claim in Prospect Gulch; Aj proposed cabin with woodworking shop on a claim alongside CR 2; A proposed cabin on a claim near Maggie Gulch Road. Several applicants are working on County Improvement Permit Applications, for proposed development of existing Lots within previously-approved Subdivisions, which can be reviewed administratively by County Staff(only if all previous County Subdivision requirements are met): Lot 6 Cole Ranch, ongoing evaluation ofthe alternate "Building Envelope Subject to Geologic Evaluation," Lots 2-4 Cole Ranch Subdivision, proposed residence, utilities, and outbuilding; Two separate unrelated applications for development on two Tracts in the Know Your Neighbor Subdivision, located on Lime Creek Road. There are some proposed County Special Events that the Staffhas been working on with applicants. The County Commissioners will be reviewing a Transfer of Ownership County License Application, for an existing permitted marijuana facility, following an application review and a Legal Notice. There was a recent meeting of County Staff, with our County Attorney and Administrator, and we discussed a draft Resolution we are working on, to amend some regulations, including maximum square footage of proposed structures, as well as Boundary Agreements, and a permit system for controlled burns. The Town/County Building Inspector has interviewed some persons to hire to train as his replacement. The Planning Department is "shared" by the Town and the County, and there are numerous Town applications being processed. Therefore, we expect that this summer will be very busy, construction-wise. There are also several big projects the Town staffi is working on, such as. grants for affordable housing, new Blair Street bathrooms, updating the Master Plan, Town code updates, and a Town summer RV Park. The Town/County Planning Director has been receiving ongoing assistance from, and has been continuing the training of, the Town of Silverton Planning Department Assistant Clark Thornhill. The County Commissioners and citizens can contact me regarding any Town/County Planning Department questions at work email address LAdair@slverton.co.us or work cell phone number (970) 946-9408.

CONCERNING THE USE OF REVENUE FROM A LOCAL TAX ON LODGING. Be it enacted by the General Assembly ofthe State ofColorado: SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that: (a) In recent years, the role of destination marketing and management organizations in Colorado has evolved to not only support economic growth through tourism, but also to address the social, cultural, and environmental issues related to tourism. In addition to inspiring travel to and within a destination and enhancing a visitor's experience, destination marketing and management organizations now use their expertiseto protect our destinations' cultural and natural assets and improve our residents' quality of life. For example, the Colorado tourism office has embedded destination stewardship and sustainable travel principles into its strategic Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material added to existing law; dashes through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and. such material is not part of the act. plans, annual campaigns, and key programming. (b) Destination marketing and management organizations across the state are increasingly using their marketing budgets and robust communication channels to disperse travelers and educate visitors on how to travel responsibly and lessen their impact. With values-based marketing campaigns and educational programs like the Colorado tourism office's "Care for Colorado" and "Do Colorado Right", these organizations are well-positioned to deliver messages that encourage the positive change our communities ask all visitors--local, domestic, and international--to adopt while in Colorado. (c) The strides and responsive nature of this marketing approach play a key role in ensuring that visitors responsibly enjoy their stays in the state. A visitor's experience is also heavily influenced by the host community's ability to support their residents and local workforce with housing and other essential services, as well as a strong quality oflife that comes with our amazing natural and cultural assets. A thriving community ensures more positive visitori interactions and experiences in ouri restaurants, on our trails, and throughout our main streets. This, in turn, increases the likelihood that a visitor will return and continue to support our local businesses. Robust support for our residents' needs is essential to the long-term health of both our communities and our economy. SECTION 2. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 29-25-111, amend (1)(e) as follows: 29-25-111. General powers of district.

It's the kind of proposal that tourism officials in Colorado traditionally have opposed. But after the last couple years, with a pandemic- driven real estate frenzy fueliny a housing erisis and labor shortage that is threatening rural communities overwhelmed by visitors, many ofColorado's tourism boosters support the plan to repurpose marketing dollars. "There's becn a lot of consternation around this. A lot of hard conversations. But tourism is not opposing this." said Lucy Kay. the president and CEO of the Breckenridye Tourism Office. Her office in 2016 changed its mission from "come here!" marketing to include managing visitor impacts. "We all need housing. This helps us support issues that are critical to the hospitality industry. We would love these places tol be better by having tourism and not have tourism considered as just an impact." Many of Colorado's strongest regional tourism organizations including in Aspen. Breckenridge. Telluride and Vail shifted away from pure marketing several years ago, Those groups are now in the business of lessening the impacts of visitors, spending lodging taxes on things like luring new businesses to town and training workers and tourism campaigns that educate visitors about taking care ot natural resources and respecting local communities. But Colorado's laws for marketing districts that collect lodging taxes prevented spending on capital projects other than tourist information centers. House Bill 1117 changes that, marking a fundamental shift in tourism spending, with focus not just on visitors, but locals.

But when the county needed to expand a trailhead parking lot, install new signs or build a pit toilet near a popular trail, TAPP could not help. "So we: see this as: a: shot in the arm, helping us better manage visitation," said TAPP boss John Norton, who last year suspended summer tourism marketing as crowds hammered understaffed Crested Butte businesses. "It's tough to argue that affordable housing in the valley or really anywhere in Colorado - is not a worthwhile use oft these funds. Hopefully more affordable housing brings visitor demand and our employee situation into balance. which it has not been in." Gunnison County Commissioner Jonathan Houck worked with other counties to make sure recreational infrastructure investment was part of House Bill 1117. He said he hopes voters will approve expanded spending on things like trail signs, apps for visitors and trailheads. "Ifyou want people to kcep coming back, youy ve got to take care of the resources you have and; you've got tol be able to put some money back into. it," he said. Lodging tax revenuc is not enough to build aftordable housing. But it's enough to get it started. Gunnison County, for example, spent $250.000 for utilities and engineering that allowed a private developer, Gary Gates. to build the 77-unit Paintbrush apartment complex in Gunnison that opened late last year: "It's likea $401 million projcct and we spent $250.000. That to mei is the sweet spot tor expanded local marketing district dollars." Houck said. We can have cash to leverage larger investment for housing." There are 29 counties in Colorado and six local marketing districts that collect lodging taxes for regional tourism promotion, including Alamosa County. Estes Park. Gunnison County, Moffat County. Steamboat Springs and Vail. Visit Estes Park is planning toj protect its tourism marketing budget while using extra lodying tax revenue to work with partners on housing projects. Kara Franker, the CEO ofVisit Estes Park. said her group is pursuing destination stewardship." which seeks a balance in resident quality ofl life and a vibrant visitor economy while protecting our cultural and matural resources." "What better way to champion this values-based. approach. than to work with the community 011 important issues like workforce housing and child care," Franker said. "We want to be a part ofthe solution." Tourism officials admit that smaller communities could see tourism marketing budgets reduced under the reshufling oflodging tax dollars, The legislation requires that at least 105E of lodging taxes remain in the tourism promotion bucket. The reduction of support for groups that are ransitioning into destination management could slow progress on helping communities better educate and handle visitors, said Cathy Ritter, the former head oft the Colorado Tourism Office whose Better Destinations group now consults for many tourist- dependent communities. "Places where people are frustrated with, say, waiting longer than usual to get seated at their favorite restaurant should be prepared for some of those restaurants tos go away ift the tourists, go away." said Ritter, who champions sustainable tourism with campaigns that target what she calls "low-impact travelers." About every decade or SO, a lawmaker or group will propose cutting Colorado's tourism promotion funding. thinking that the state's mountains and attractions don't need campaigns because visitors will naturally Aock. That notion was tested in 1993. when voters declined to support a statewide tourism marketing tax and tourism campaigns went dark. The state's share oft the U.S. vacation market collapsed and it took 20: years for the state to regain that share of American travelers, There's even a case study The Risc and Fall of Colorado Tourism" that shows what happens when tourism promotion ends. Ritter sees whispers of 1993 in House Bill 1117's hobbling of tourism marketing power. She fears lawmakers and even tourism- dependent communities may be making long- term decisions based on the surge of visitors making up for a couple years oflost travel during the pandemic lockdown. htps/ww.he-joural.comlantclescolvradomountain.townscampow-use-ourismtaxto.deal-wtl-istor-housing?um.campagn-dalyheadinesa. 3/5 4/4/22, 9:38 AM Colorado mountain towns can now use tourism tax to deal with visitors, housing The Journal "Vommunities that hamstring ther destination organizations ability to do their jobs suddenly may be looking around and saying what happened to our economy?
