Another design consideration in locating the homesites has been the relocating of a major irrigation ditch presently located at the base of the hillside to in front of the collector road servicing the homesites. This has been done not only to continue irrigation of the front pasture but also to provide a plant screening edge for the homesites. At the Detail Submission level, architectural guidelines concerning building color, height, massing and orientation will be submitted. The remaining 6 homesites are clustered in the buildable land along the Roaring Fork River as illustrated in the "Riverfront Homesites Plan." The homesites have been located along the river to take advantage of the prime building sites, to not crowd the upper pasture homesites, and to have limited to no visibility from Highway 82. The current riverfront homesites plan has been revised from the 1979 plan as follows: 1. The homesites have been located outside the County adopted lOO-year floodplain boundary mapping of the Wright-McLaughlin report. 2. The southern riverfront homesites are serviced by a common driveway looping along the unirrigated edge of the front pasture and having a single entrance to Highway 82 at the existing entrance across from the Aspen Village intersection. Parking will be provided in low barnlike appearing garages located on the upper level of the sloped embankment. 3. The southern riverfront homesites will be connected to the central water system. The applicant is willing to connect the northern riverfront homesites, but cannot commit to this until technical, easements and cost uncertainties are further examined for crossing the river. The homesites will continue to have indi- vidual or common shared septic systems. 4. The northern riverfront homesites will be serviced by a common driveway off the Lower River Road. The new driveway will be a relocation of the existing dirt road already accessing the parcel. The relocated driveway will have an improved "T" entrance with the Lower River Road, and will have better entrance visibility due to no surrounding view restricting vegetation. The exist- ing dirt road entrance will be closed. - 9 - -, v
