Mcn.orilndum Aspen Village Application July 19, 1979 PAGE TWO ,. ROADS: The proposed road plan includes the upgrading of a portion of the Watson Divide road. This improvement, which should include paving and replacement of the bridge culvert at SH82 would be of public benefit. The westerly loop road appears to nave a good a11gnment and should present no signi- ficant problems with a proper design. The Easterly loop, on the other hand, proposes three new highway entrances and several steep bank cuts, all of which are undesireable. The roaOS and parK1ng necessary for the townhouses should be pre- sentea at detailed submission. Contrary to the proposal, the readway servicing the individual homesites should be dedicated as a public R-O-W and not left private. Similarly, additional R-O-W on the Lower River Road and Watson Divide Road will be requested for public use. DRAINAGE: A drainage plan will be needed for the townhouses and Highway 82 entrances. The normal road profile should adequately handle the other areas. I foresee no serious dr~inage problems unless high groundwater 1S encountered. ENERGY CONSERVATION AND UTILITIES: The westerly group of homesites will require lengthy utility extensions and the northern orientation and river plane locations will afford no utilization of solar energy. The townhouses, on the other hand, may be better oriented and will require short utility extensions. HAZARDS: The river lane homesites should be evaluated with respect to flood and ice flow azar sane wester y group may be 1n an area of unstable soil and require further analysis especially sites close to active irrigatioL ditches. VISUAL VULNERABILITY: The location of the homesites are well situated with this respect-and should not create any aesthetic problems. OTHERS: A fisherman's easement should be requested for the Roaring Fork River.
