Section 1 | Statement of Interest

The members of the our team live and/or work in Garfield County and use the land use code in our work on a regular basis. We understand the value of well written and meaningful regulations and have experienced the frustration of working with codes that are overly complicated and ineffective. We’re excited by the prospect of helping our community create a land use code that’s easier to use while preserving the County’s existing character. We share the County’s desire to have a land use code that provides reasonable protections but is not a burdensome obstacle to quality development that could stimulate the economy. Our team offers a thorough knowledge of the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution and provides the expertise required to ensure that the revised land use code will be a document that will provide concise guidance for future development and the people who participate in the development process. The team we have assembled includes the local firms of TG Malloy Consulting, LLC, Garfield & Hecht Attorneys and Bluegreen. Together we have broad experience in land use planning, zoning administration, land use and real-estate law, public process facilitation, subdivision design, GIS mapping/analysis and effective design graphics. Members of our team have prepared land use and municipal codes, land use application manuals, development applications, design standards, and conducted special planning studies on a variety of issues for both municipal and county governments in the region. The County made great progress on improving its land use regulations through the hard work that was conducted over the past year by the staff, consultants and the members of the Advisory Committee. We have familiarized ourselves with the Garfield County ULUR Assessment Report (Assessment Report) and the Phase I code revisions that are currently under consideration for adoption. The scope of services outlined in this proposal has been designed to build on the work that has been undertaken to date and pursue the “comprehensive code revisions” described in Part Three of the Assessment Report. This will include potential revisions in the five categories listed below as well as a substantial list of specific technical corrections identified in the appendix of the Assessment Report.

1) Update the Zoning Districts to Implement the Comprehensive Plan 2) Overhaul the Subdivision Review Process 3) Replace Use Review with Site Plan Review 4) Prepare Additional Development Standards per the 2030 Comprehensive Plan 5) Oil and Gas Updates (some of these have been addressed in the Phase I revisions)

Part Three of the Assessment Report also recommends modernization of the ULUR including reorganizing the document and incorporating more illustrations among other improvements. We strongly agree that these measures would make the code more efficient and easier to comprehend. This is one of the reasons that we have included Bluegreen on our team. This talented planning and design firm not only offers extraordinary graphic capabilities, but they have prepared design guidelines and form-based codes and conducted planning studies on a variety of issues. The 12-member Advisory Committee that has been appointed to provide input and guidance on this project represent diverse opinions on the issues of development, environmental protection and the role of land use regulations in these matters.1 We believe this diversity of opinion will be a valuable ingredient in the process of creating the most effective and efficient land use regulations for Garfield County. We also recognize the challenge that this diversity represents for completing the comprehensive code revisions within the 6-month project timeframe. The core members of our team all have demonstrated ability to facilitate diverse groups. Tim Malloy of TG Malloy Consulting, LLC has been a facilitator on numerous successful planning processes throughout the Roaring Fork Valley over the past 20 years. Mr. Malloy’s project experience includes municipal comprehensive plans, county master plans, airport master plans, and numerous other special planning studies. Mr. Malloy’s approach to public process facilitation is based on defining common ground and on a deep commitment to fostering an honest, transparent and engaging dialog focused on achieving what’s best for the community. Drafting the comprehensive code revisions contemplated in Part Three of the Assessment Report will require a thorough understanding of the existing Garfield County ULUR, and the physical and legal context within which they are used. David McConaughy of Garfield and Hecht Attorneys brings the unique perspective of having processed land use applications under the ULUR and its prior versions for many private clients as well as litigating the validity and enforceability of land use code regulations adopted by Garfield County and other local governments. David has represented clients in a wide range of land use application matters with the County including building permits, special use permits, major impact review applications, zoning changes, subdivision exemptions, subdivisions, and PUDs. He has also represented private clients in condemnation proceedings with the County. He has litigated cases (both as plaintiff’s counsel and as defense counsel) challenging land use decisions and land use code provisions under both state and federal law, including but not limited to issues involving the interplay of comprehensive plans and more specific land use code provisions. He has been involved in every aspect of land use codes, including adoption, implementation, enforcement, amendment, and litigating constitutional and other challenges. 1 The appointed committee members include Dave Smith, who is employed as an associate attorney with Garfield & Hecht. Mr. Smith has authorized us to state that he is committed to the public service of his role on the committee, but he would recuse himself from any decisions regarding the selection of a team that includes his own firm and would step down from the committee if deemed necessary to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of one.

Staff Role

The County staff will play a critical role in the code rewrite process. The Building and Planning Department and County Attorney’s office will provide technical advice regarding the proposed list of code amendments and draft code amendment language. The Building and Planning Department will also assist in coordinating meeting dates and agendas for the Advisory Committee and Board of County Commissioners meetings. The Building and Planning Department staff will also maintain current information related to the code rewrite project on the County’s website. TG Malloy Consulting, LLC will be the prime contractor and will lead the project. Mr. Malloy will act as the primary facilitator and will also be the principle drafter of the proposed code revisions. David McConaughy will act as co-facilitator and will be a contributor on the proposed code revision text. Mr. McConaughy will also review proposed code text for consistency with state statutes, and relevant case law and legal precedents. Garfield and Hecht Attorneys also have administrative staff that can be available to take notes during meetings if needed. Bluegreen will provide graphic support and technical expertise. Sheri Sanzone will also participate in selected meetings where discussion topics will include development standards and other topics that would benefit from her design and development experience. We anticipate that the County staff will also play a critical role in the code rewrite process. The Building and Planning Department and County Attorney’s office could provide invaluable technical advice regarding the proposed list of code amendments and draft code amendment language. The Building and Planning Department could also assist in coordinating meeting dates and agendas for the Advisory Committee and Board of County Commissioners meetings. We would also work with the staff to maintain current information related to the code rewrite project on the County’s website. The members of our project team are passionate about our work in planning, design, development and land use law. We are committed professionals who live and work in the Roaring Fork Valley and who have personal experience working with the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution. Of course, we will comply with Garfield County’s Purchase of Services Agreement. We believe our combined skills and experience uniquely qualify us to assist the Advisory Committee and the County in developing code revisions that eliminate unnecessary regulatory barriers, streamline development procedures and make the code more efficient and user-friendly.

Section 2 | Scope of Services

Part 1 – Establish List of Code Revisions Task 1.1: Review background studies and related documents, including:

a) February 2012 proposed Phase I code revisions. b) Spring 2012 stakeholder interviews. c) Clarion Associate’s Assessment Report, including recommendations

regarding comprehensive code revisions. d) Working group’s recommendations for code changes (December 19, 2011). e) O&G Operators list of possible amendments. f) 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

Deliverables: Memo summarizing key findings and outcomes of Assessment Report and Phase I code amendments process. Team Member(s): Malloy, McConaughy

Task 1.2: Facilitate Advisory Committee meetings. The consultant team will facilitate a series of meetings with the Advisory Committee. The purpose of these meetings will be to recap the important outcomes of the work done during Phase I and to define a set of code revisions that will be the focus of Phase II. These meetings will encourage open dialog and will not utilize a consensus approach or formal voting. Emphasis will be placed on achieving the objectives contained in Part Three: Comprehensive Code Revision, of the Assessment Report prepared by Clarion & Associates (June 2011) and the Appendix Item 2: Long-Term Revisions of the same report.

This task will also include periodic meetings with the County Staff to brief them on the progress of the advisory committee meetings and to seek advice regarding technical issues. The staff will also assist with scheduling meeting venues and distributing written materials to the Advisory Committee for the meetings.

Deliverables: Meeting notes and a draft list of proposed Phase II code revisions to be pursued during Part 2 of the project scope of services. Team Member(s): Malloy, McConaughy, Sanzone (as needed)

Task 1.3: Present proposed list of code revisions to the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The consultant team will present the outcome of Tasks 1.1 and 1.2 during a worksession meeting with the Garfield County BOCC. The purpose of this meeting will be to seek comment and direction from the BOCC regarding the work to be conducted during Part 2 of the code rewrite process.

Deliverables: Final list of proposed Phase II code revisions and summary notes containing any BOCC direction for the next phase of the process. Team Member(s): Malloy, McConaughy

Part 2 – Code Revisions Drafting Process Task 2.1: Prepare draft code revision language and graphics. Based on the list of Phase II code revisions and other direction obtained during Part 1 of this scope of services, the consultant team will develop a working draft of the proposed code amendments including text and graphics. The working draft will honor the style and format established during Phase I of the code rewrite process. Graphics will be utilized throughout the document, where appropriate, to provide examples of standards and criteria or illustrate concepts that might otherwise be difficult to understand. The code revisions will be written using simple and direct language, avoiding jargon and legalese as much as possible.

Deliverables: Working Draft of Phase II code revisions as defined in Part 1 of this scope of services. The working draft will be provided digitally for distribution to the staff and members of the Advisory Committee. Team Member(s): Malloy, McConaughy, Sanzone

Task 2.2: Facilitate a series of meetings with selected staff members and the Advisory Committee to present and refine the draft code revisions. We recommend that a staff technical committee be established to provide input and support during this phase of the code rewrite process. Comments and suggested language from the staff and Advisory Committee members will be recorded digitally during these meetings. However, additional refinements to the language and graphics covered during a particular meeting may need to be made by the consultant team prior to the next Advisory Committee meeting. Each Advisory Committee meeting will begin with a review of the consultant team’s refinements from the prior meeting, if any, before moving on to new topics. This process will continue until all of the Phase II code revisions contained on the list developed during Part 1 of this scope of services have been addressed.

We anticipate 6 or 7 such meetings over a two month time period in order to get through the volume of information anticipated in the working draft document. We recommend that these meetings occur less than two weeks apart in order to keep information fresh for the staff and Advisory Committee participants.

Deliverables: Refined Draft of Phase II code revisions. Team Member(s): Malloy, McConaughy

Part 3 – BOCC Review Process Task 3.1: Present Refined Draft of Phase II code revisions to the Board of County Commissioners for review and modification. Facilitate a series of two to three worksession meetings with the BOCC to present and discuss the proposed Phase II code revisions and take comments and direction from Board members regarding modifications to the document. Deliverables: Summary notes for modifications to the draft Phase II code revisions.

Synopsis of Selected Representative Projects (Copies Enclosed)

Snowmass-Capital Creek Valleys Master Plan (copy enclosed): The Snowmass-Capitol Creek Valleys Master Plan was adopted in 2004 and is the current master plan of

12



Bluegreen

record for this 46 square-mile rural portion of Pitkin County. TG Malloy Consulting was retained after the existing conditions analysis and public opinion survey had been completed. Our role in the process was to work with the Snowmass/Capitol Creek Caucus Board and residents to develop a master plan that reflected their vision for the future as expressed in the results of a public opinion survey and through input gathered through a series of public forums. The Snowmass-Capitol Creek Valleys Master Plan includes polices designed to address a range of issues including preserving the unspoiled natural environment and spectacular scenic resources; managing residential growth; addressing the impacts of large, second-home development; avoiding overuse of public lands and facilities; and dealing with potential annexation actions from the adjacent municipality of Snowmass Village. The policies in this master plan were developed through an iterative editing process over numerous meetings with caucus residents. Carbondale Infill Development Guidelines (copy enclosed): This project has been included as an example of a special planning study that was prepared for a specific issue and was completed over a very short time period. This study was commissioned as a result of a recommendation contained in the 1999 Carbondale Comprehensive Plan (Rock Creek Studio, a firm cofounded by Mr. Malloy, was the prime consultant on the Carbondale Comprehensive Plan) encouraging infill development within the town limits. The project included an evaluation of the existing Carbondale zoning regulations, development of draft infill guidelines, analyzing the draft guidelines on several test sites and taking the final guidelines through the adoption process with the Town Board of Trustees. Mr. was responsible for all aspects of this project which was completed over a few months. Basalt Master Plan (copy enclosed): The 2007 Basalt Master Plan is a comprehensive update of the 1999 Basalt Master Plan. One of the purposes of the 2007 Master Plan process was to review changes in demographics and key growth statistics and to evaluate whether the policies and implementation measures contained in the 1999 Basalt Master Plan were on course and achieving the goals and objectives of the Plan. Key issues addressed in the 2007 Basalt Master Plan include growth; affordable housing; a desire to become a self-sufficient community with greater balance between jobs and housing; and maintaining small-town character. One unique aspect of the Basalt Master Plan is the inclusion of a Typologies addendum. This addendum is a graphic-oriented guide for the design of new projects within the Town. The Typologies addendum provides illustrations showing suggestions for various elements of the built environment based on physical characteristics of the surrounding landscape and existing neighborhood types. Mr. Malloy was responsible for all aspects of this project except GIS mapping and analysis. Responsibilities included existing conditions and demographics analysis, meeting facilitation, policy development, drafting the plan text and most of the graphic production. Emma Master Plan (copy enclosed): The 2008 Emma Master Plan is a rural master plan intended to provide guidance for decisions regarding future development and infrastructure improvements for an 18-square-mile portion of Pitkin County. This

13



Bluegreen

document provides policy guidelines on a range of issues including land use, environment; growth; infrastructure and essential community facilities; transportation; recreation and tourism; mineral exploration and extraction; and historic preservation. The process of developing the Emma Master Plan included a thorough inventory and analysis of the existing conditions within the Emma Caucus Area including the use of an internet-based public opinion survey. Mr. Malloy was responsible for all aspects of this project including all meeting facilitation and preparation of the final document. The policies in this master plan were developed through an iterative editing process over numerous meetings with caucus residents.

Aspen Airport Master Plan: This master plan, which is still in progress, is an update of the 2004 Aspen-Pitkin County Airport Master Plan, for which Mr. Malloy was also a principle contributor. The current master plan update has been developed over a nearly two-year planning process involving a multi-disciplinary team of consultants, including Bluegreen. The process involved numerous venues for public input including a 45-member citizen’s advisory committee, design charrettes, public open house meetings as well as regular meetings with the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Mr. Malloy has participated in all aspects of the project and has served as a primary facilitator and presenter for many of the meetings with the advisory committee, public and BOCC.
