STATE OF THE VALLEY SYMPOSIUM A SUCCESS
Over
120 citizens, elected officials, business representatives, and planners attended
HMC’s State of the Valley Symposium on May 2 in Glenwood. Springs.
Responses to the event range from “amazing amount of information” to
“terrific overview of issues facing our region.” Attendees even liked the
food, although the seats were a bit hard for an 8-hour symposium.
Keynote
speakers John Parr, Jim Westkott, Keith Charters, and Michael Shuman provided
stimulating information on regional cooperation, demographic trends, the
business argument for smart land use design, and economic development
respectively. Between the keynote
presentations, panelist of local experts discussed the state of the valley from
the perspectives of real estate and development, banking and tourism, energy and
the Latino community. Thanks again to the symposium sponsors foe making the
event possible: Alpine Bank, US Forest Service, Sonoran Institute, Snowmass Land
Company, American Leadership Forum, The Land Studio, Blue Green, H3 Architects,
and Clarion.
The
proceedings of the event will be released this fall but a few of the
presentations are available online at www.hmccolorado.org/stateofthevalley.htm.

Community
and County Profiles Online
Healthy
Mountain Communities has put profiles of the communities and counties I the
region on its website www.hmcolorado.org/commecon.
The profiles were created using the Economic Profile System (EPS) software,
which was developed by the Sonoran Institue in partnership with the BLM.
EPS is free software. It is available by contacting Ray Rasker at the
Sonoron Institute, ray@sonoran.org.
LOVA TRAILS CORRIDOR PLAN COMPLETE
The
LOVA Trails Committee has been running its completed corridor master plan up and
down the I-70 corridor for review by local planning commissions and are now
approaching town councils. The
Garfield County Planning Commission has adopted the document as
"advisory" to the County Comprehensive Plan.
LOVA has received CDOT Enhancement Funding for preliminary design in
South Canyon, and continues to receive support from area foundations and
municipalities. Next steps are
probably seeking funding for an organizational 'office' with a very part time
coordinator/grant writer to generate necessary matching and project funding. For more information contact Brian Brown (brianjmbrown@earthlink.net)
or Janet Steinbach at the town of Silt (Janet@townofsilt.org).
Will
south Rifle’s boom lead to north Rifle’s bust?
The
furor over Wal-Mart’s impending arrival and other commercial development in
south Rifle has been running at a fever pitch long before the first shovel of
dirt was tossed at the groundbreaking on March 11, 2003.
The south Rifle commercial development is expected to bring in more than
75,000 new shoppers a year, generating more than $1.6 million in annual sales.
But
as much excitement and anticipation that has come since the official
announcement that a 145,000 square foot Wal-Mart was coming, there’s also
great anxiety stirring among the business owners of north Rifle.
As south Rifle booms, mystery will shroud north Rifle for the next year
and beyond. Can they survive as south Rifle becomes the core of business
activity in a city of a little more than 7,000 people?
Most
businesses in north Rifle offer shoppers unique or specific items.
Destination-based businesses like the banks, Rifle Packing and Sausage Company,
Columbine Ford and others don’t need visibility to help them survive. Other
stores, however, would benefit from extra foot traffic and visibility.
With
the Wal-Mart Supercenter offering residents the convenience of groceries as well
as other items, many shoppers will choose south Rifle over north Rifle, but a
new 50,000 square foot City Market will be an attractive lure to many in the
area. Most agree that commercial
growth in south Rifle will be good for Rifle as a whole. Where the mystery lies
is how will the business sector two and three miles to the north adapt, adjust
and survive once the south Rifle commercial monster comes to life?

Land
Use Planning for the Roan Plateau
The
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently in the process of preparing a
Resource Management Plan Amendment and Environmental Impact Statement (RMP/EIS)
for the Roan Plateau planning area. The
Roan Plateau is located northwest of Rifle and north of Parachute. The planning area covers about 73,602 acres of federal
land. Included in the planning area
are former Naval Oil Shale Reserves 1 and 3, which were transferred to BLM in
1997. Recoverable gas reserves have
the potential to represent up to 37 percent of Colorado’s current reserves.
The success rate of wells drilled in the vicinity is about 97 percent.
The area also supports a number of rare plants and plant communities,
including some such as the Parachute Penstemon, which are restricted to the
Green River Shale Formation and occur nowhere else in the world.
Some of the most pristine riparian systems in Colorado are also found on
the Plateau. They harbor some the
last pure populations of Colorado River cutthroat trout. To add to the mix, three parcels of land have also been
determined to contain wilderness character.
The
presence of many unique and valuable resources has resulted in a high level of
public interest. BLM has been
working with various members of the public, industry, interest groups,
organizations, the State of Colorado, and local governments.
The purpose of this involvement has been to identify issues, develop
alternatives, and prepare a thorough analysis in the Draft RMP/EIS Amendment.
Release of the document is planned for early this fall. There will be a
90-day public comment period on the draft prior to preparation of a final plan.

more information BLM’s land use planning process contact Greg Goodenow (greg_goodenow@co.blm.gov)
with the BLM in Glenwood Springs.
GARFIELD COUNTY REDESIGNS COMP. PLAN STUDY AREAS
The
Garfield County Planning Commission approved a new Study Area map for the
County's Comprehensive plan that focuses on municipalities as 'communities of
interest.' The new map splits the
existing Study Areas 1-3 into six new Study Areas that coincide better with
municipal urban service area boundaries and zip codes as well.
"This allows us to better customize future IGA's and MOU's to joint
municipal/county concerns, and focus more on 'neighborhood' plans in the
County's growth corridors," says county planner, Randy Russell.
GARFIELD
COUNTY DEVELOPMENT CODE REWRITE PROCESS UNDERWAY
For
those of you on this mailing list, especially, you may want to note the evening
of August 14 to attend one of the kick-off meetings for the Garfield
County Code Rewrite process. Barbara
Green, of Sullivan Green Seavy, LLC will lead a discussion and exploration of
development process issues, ideas and alternatives that will assist the County
in developing new code provisions. This
meeting is targeted for area developers, consultants, lawyers and planners to
get into 'the guts' of process and definitional issues, and to solicit early in
that process ideas, alternatives and issues that can assist the County in code
revisions. This meeting is designed for people 'in the profession' to help focus
on the nuts and bolts of procedures and codes. Barbara Green is a well-respected planning and legal
consultant, and the evening should be informative as well as productive. The
meeting will be held in the Commission Chambers, Room 100, Courthouse Plaza
Building, 108 8th Street in Glenwood Springs starting at 6:30 with light
refreshments.
There
will also be a meeting customized to the needs and concerns of the agricultural
community, Aug. 12, 6:30 PM at the North Hall of the County Faigrounds in
Rifle. This meeting will be
presented by GarCo Planning staff. On
Aug. 27th and 28th in the evenings the County will host major public
kick-off meetings, with open-ended topics and discussion. Specific locations and times to be announced.
BASALT
WEIGHS OPTIONS FOR RELOCATING TRAIL PARK RESIDENTS
With
the Roaring Fork Trailer Park under new ownership and in the flood plain, Basalt
and Pitkin County officials are working with residents and the developer to
relocate the 52 families in the trailer park.
The
Town has known it will be necessary to relocate residents out of the floodplain
since it learned about the dynamics and dangers of the river in the River Master
Plan process last year. The park property was recently purchased for roughly $4
million by an Illinois-based development group that wants to redevelop the site
into a mixed-use commercial project.
The
trailer park, although in the heart of Basalt, is actually in Pitkin County.
The County has previously said that is will not change the current use
for the parcel. If there is to be
redevelopment, the developer will need to be annexed into the Town of Basalt,
which has an ordinance that 100% of existing affordable housing on a site must
be replaced if the site is redeveloped. While
there is no guarantee that the displaced families will get the new housing, the
Town is working hard to help them make the transition equitably.
In
an effort to work more closely with trailer park residents, the Town hosted a River
Corridor Plan Design Charette between July 14-18.
Roughly 200 people attended the open house, half of which were Latino
residents of the trailer parks along the river. The charette was the first step in community planning process
that could help relocate trailer park residents in town.
Basalt is planning to use relocation of the mobile home park residents as
a condition of annexation. Contact
Kay Philip at 92704701 or Kayp@basalt.net
for
more information.
GLENWOOD AND GARFIELD HOLD JOINT PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
At
the request of Dan Richardson, Glenwood City Councilman and Tresi Houpt,
Garfield County Commissioner, the Planning Commissions of the City of Glenwood
Springs and Garfield County held a joint meeting on May 28th to
discuss common areas of concern and explore ways of working together
cooperatively in the future. Each Commission reviewed the other's Comprehensive Plan in
advance of that meeting, and staff acquainted both commissions with the
regulatory tools and documents in effect which guide decision-making at the city
and county level. The residual
product of that meeting will be some joint analysis of specific growth areas by
city and county staff, focusing at first on the west Glenwood Mall area where
the city and county own a checkerboard relationship of boundaries, and the 4
Mile Canyon area and urban service boundaries with some lessons learned from the
Red Feather development vote.
Glenwood
Voters clip Red Feather Ridge’s wings; Annexation nixed
Red
Feather Ridge was defeated in a special city election Tuesday by more than 1,000
votes. The final tally
was 1,886 no votes to 671 voters in support of the proposed development.
Red
Feather Ridge was a 149-lot subdivision planned for 132 acres on the east side
of Four Mile Road, just outside the city limits of Glenwood Springs. The plan included
open space, park land and land for a new city cemetery. City Council approved
annexation and zoning for the project in a 4-3 vote Jan. 8.
More
than 1,000 people who oppose the project signed a petition circulated by CVRG
asking City Council to refer the project’s fate to voters. Council agreed to
refer the question to voters. With the city annexation and zoning rejected,
MidFirst Bank will move forward with selling the 57 lots approved under the
original county plan.

Marketplace
shut down in Carbondale
Carbondale
residents defeated Crystal River Marketplace 787-601 Tuesday in what is believed
to be a record voter turnout. The vote means
California developer Brian Huster must come up with an alternative plan to build
a shopping center on his 24-acre property on Highway 133, It is already zoned
for commercial uses.
A
total of 1,388 of Carbondale’s 2,700 registered voters cast ballots in the
special election, which followed approval in February by the Carbondale Board of
Trustees. The previous turnout record was 957 in the 2002 trustee election.
Crystal
River Marketplace opponents, first led by Mountain Folks for Global Justice and
later the Carbondale Town Mothers, objected to the 125,000-square-foot big-box
anchor tenant the developer promised. They
said the shopping center would create traffic impacts on Highway 133, and was
out of scale with the rest of the town. Supporters,
including the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce, said Carbondale needed the
increased sales tax revenues the Marketplace would bring, and residents needed
the shopping opportunities

NWCCOG
releases Study of second homeowners
Two
out of every three people who own homes in Summit County don't actually live in
Summit County. Indeed, in the four High Country
counties about 60 percent of all residences are second or third homes.
That
trend seems poised to continue, according to a study released Tuesday by the
Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) on the effects of second
homeowners on the social and economic environments of Summit, Pitkin, Eagle and
Grand counties.
"The
study is trying to get at, "What is the meaning, what is the effect of
second homes?'" said Jim Westcott, the state demographer. "(Planners)
need to know what services they're going to be confronted with."
Westcott
said that the NWCCOG counties may see even greater growth than the study
suggests because of the region's connection to the Front Range.
"The
Front Range has a disproportionately higher range of baby boomers than the rest
of the country," he said. "Not only does Colorado expect to keep its
baby boomers, but there's a real expectation to attract more baby boomers."
One
dimension he noted was the development of downtown Denver, which has experienced
an increased focus on condominium sales that are marketed with the prospect of
time also spent in the mountains.
According
to the study, the majority of second home values, as expected, were well above
those of primary residences. The median incomes of residents versus nonresidents
were almost mirror opposites with nonresidents tending to earn at least $100,000
per year and residents averaging between $15,000 to $100,000.
Although
the direct connection of such phenomena to social impacts has not been yet been
drawn (the social and economic indicators the data will help provide will not be
available until at least this fall), it's apparent that the whole phenomenon of
vacation homes is a major economic driver for the region according to Westcott.

Obermeyer
Place wins approval in ASpen
After
heaping praise on ski-wear-icon-turned developer Klaus Obermeyer, the Aspen City
Council gave his Obermeyer Place redevelopment project unanimous approval.
Developers plan to begin construction next spring,
transforming a funky corner of Aspen into a new mix of residences, space for
service/industrial businesses and medical offices. Two
levels of underground parking, including 20 spaces designated for city use, are
part of the plan. So is sprucing up the recycling center in the park and
creating a pedestrian walkway through the development that will link Main Street
and the park.
The
project saw a year of review and revision by a city-appointed task force as part
of the city’s COWOP (Development
Reasonably Necessary for the Convenience and Welfare of the Public)
process, working with a development team assembled by Obermeyer. Under this
section of the city land use code
this type of land-use review process allows for a private property owner to be a
co-applicant with the city on a land-use project.
Obermeyer Place is the first development to go through the COWOP process.
In
all, Obermeyer Place will include up to 265,000 square feet of space, including
nearly 39,000 square feet for service/commercial/industrial uses; 21 free-market
residences; 21 deed-restricted units and roughly 9,000 square feet of medical
office space. Aspen Valley Hospital has an agreement with Obermeyer for a
long-term lease of the office space with an option to purchase it.

Edwards
Area Community Plan Adopted
This
March, Eagle County Commissioners adopted a new community plan for the Edwards
area replacing the plan that was originally adopted in 1986. This plan provides
a vision and direction on land use and capital improvements that may occur in
Edwards over the next ten to fifteen years. The Future Land Use Map shows future
development being focused in the core of Edwards and reducing in density as the
distance from the center increases. The Goals and Objectives are items that
shall be considered when reviewing future development proposals and planning for
capital improvements. The update process began in 1999 with the help of a
dedicated group of residents called the Update Committee

Investing
for Prosperity: Building
Successful Communities & Economies in the Sierra Nevada
Investing
for Prosperity: Building Successful Communities and Economies in the Sierra
Nevada is a new guide from
the Sierra Business Council on economic and community development that offers
hundreds of ways to achieve prosperity in fast-growing rural regions. This
attractive and well-researched book brings together many of the latest
innovations that rural communities across North America are using to grow their
economies, improve their towns, and build their "social capital." One
of the book's key findings is that communities in the Sierra Nevada can
diversify and expand their economies in ways that were never possible over the
last 150 years, thanks to new technologies and the market premium put on the
Sierra's natural assets and livable communities. 148 pages. $25.

GETTING
AHEAD IN GREATER YELLOWSTONE: MAKING THE MOST OF OUR COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE
The
Sonoran Institute’s SocioEconomics Program has produced a report on the
Greater Yellowstone economy. Greater Yellowstone is a land of tremendous
opportunity – and substantial risk. The economy is vibrant, as reflected by
job creation, income growth and population increases. The region prospers in an
era when many rural areas suffer sharp declines. Why? One reason is our
unusually high quality of life, which attracts energetic, creative and
hard-working people who make the economy hum.
But
rapid growth also threatens to overwhelm the very qualities that fuel this
economic renaissance. Just as important, not everyone is benefiting from the
current transition. How can we help individuals, families and communities
thrive? By recognizing that our natural landscape and friendly towns are chief
economic assets and will be key to staying competitive in years to come.

report is available in pdf format at www.sonoran.org/programs/si_se_program_grt_yel.html
