3 Purpse f the Three Mile Plan The purpse f the Twn f Frisc s Three Mile Plan is t fulfill a Clrad State requirement. Sectin (e) f the Clrad Revised Statutes states, Prir t cmpletin f any annexatin within the three-mile area, the municipality shall have in place a plan fr that area that generally describes the prpsed lcatin, character, and extent f streets, subways, bridges, waterways, waterfrnts, parkways, playgrunds, squares, parks, aviatin fields, ther public ways, grunds, pen spaces, public utilities, and terminals fr water, light, sanitatin, transprtatin, and pwer t be prvided by the municipality and the prpsed land uses fr the area. As such, this plan is t address land uses and infrastructure imprvement needs if annexatin were t ccur in any f the areas within three miles f the Twn f Frisc s municipal bundaries. This plan prvides infrmatin and analysis fr areas within Frisc s three mile bundary. It als utlines annexatin plicies, prcedures, and requirements. This Three Mile Plan area is a state requirement and shuld nt be cnsidered an intentin f the Twn f Frisc t pursue annexatin f these areas. The 2009 Three Mile plan is intended t cmplement ther Twn plans, including the 2005 Twn f Frisc Master Plan, the 2007 Peninsula Recreatin Area Land Use Plan, etc.) which have been prepared by the citizens and adpted by the Twn Cuncil f Frisc. It is als cnsistent with the Summit Cunty 2009 Ten Mile Basin s Master Plan in its analysis f affrdable husing. Annexatin Cnsideratins Chapter 6 f the Twn f Frisc Twn Cde sets ut plicies and requirements with respect t ptentially annexing lands. The plicies and requirements are as fllws: A. Annex eligible lands fr psitive reasns equitable t the Twn f Frisc, and nt as a matter f right t a petitiner r petitiners. B.

5 Organizatin f the Three Mile Plan The Three Mile Plan utlines the lcatin, character, and existing cnditins f each land area within three miles f Frisc s bundary. The Clrad State Statute als requires that public facilities and utilities such as streets, bridges, waterways, parkways, playgrunds, and terminals fr transprtatin be nted and generally described. The Three Mile distance standard is a requirement f the Clrad State Statute; it is nt an indicatin f Frisc s jurisdictin, but simply an area f influence. Accrding t Frisc s Twn Cde, Chapter 6 Annexatin, Sectin 6-7(3), specific characteristics f each area need t be cnsidered. Such cnsideratins include, but are nt limited t the fllwing: Gelgical hazards Fldplain hazards Mineral resurces Wildlife resurces (flra and Fauna) Histric and archelgical resurces Wetlands Shrt and lng term csts and benefits Utility Services Traffic Studies The abve mentined cnsideratins are addressed under larger subject headings. Sme f the State s requirements are nt applicable t the Frisc area and are nt addressed. If ne f the elements is nt mentined under a subject heading fr a particular area, it is nt applicable. It is imprtant t nte that althugh this plan des highlight annexatin cnsideratins fr areas within three miles f twn limits; frmal annexatin prpsals submitted must meet all f the Twn s annexatin requirements in rder t be cnsidered. (See Annexatin cnsideratins earlier in this reprt alng with Appendix A fr annexatin requirements). Whenever applicable, this plan references ther jurisdictins planning dcuments and identifies stakehlders and agencies that have knwledge f each area. These stakehlders and agencies include Frisc residents, neighbring twns, Summit Cunty Planning & GIS departments, the US Frest Service, Denver Water, Frisc Sanitatin District, the Summit Stage, Frisc Water Department, Frisc Public Wrks, the Lake Dilln Fire Prtectin District, and the Summit Schl District. This dcument is meant t be a supplement t ther twn dcuments and plans, and it is recmmended that these be cnsulted when making decisins regarding annexatin. 3 mile plan 5 5

Summit Cunty has zned Bill s Ranch R-2; which is a lw density residential designatin allwing n mre than 2 dwelling units per acre. This area is wded and has wetlands, pen space easements, undevelped land, and streams interspersed thrughut. There is an eclectic mix f cabin and mdern muntain style husing scattered thrughut Bill s Ranch. 1 Land Use Lw density residential is the current land use fr Bill s Ranch. Accrding t Summit Cunty s mst recent build ut study, Bill s Ranch has 98 units built, 25 vacant lts, and 37 subdivided lts. Accrding t the Cunty, there are als several pen space prperties and easements wned and managed by Summit cunty within the Bill s Ranch neighbrhd. The public space cnsists f stream crridrs, wetlands, and undevelped land and these envirnmental cnditins place restrictins n the develpment f sme f the lts in Bill s Ranch. Transprtatin One can access Bill s Ranch via Highway 9, Miners Creek Rad, Seventh Avenue and Pitkin Street in the Twn f Frisc, and the Summit Cunty Recreatinal/Bike path. The rads as they exist in Bill s Ranch d nt meet Summit Cunty rad standards fr lcal access rads. The rads are maintained by Bill s Ranch Hme Owner s Assciatin and there are n Cunty plans t upgrade the rads mile plan 7

8 The Twn f Frisc wuld require Bill s Ranch streets t meet the Twn s minimum street design standards and criteria prir t annexatin. Frisc Public wrks has stated that this wuld be prblematic due t the fact the existing streets are much less than the 60 feet minimum required. There are tw Summit Stage stps within walking distance f Bill s Ranch: at the Cunty Cmmns building and at Ophir Muntain/Senir Center. Utilities Bill s Ranch is served by gas, electric, telephne, and cable. The Frisc Sanitatin District (FSD) serves Bill s Ranch and sewer mains have been extended thrugh the entirety f Bill s Ranch. Sme prperties are cnnected and sme are nt. The area is served by private/and r shared cmmunity water wells and there are n Twn f Frisc water mains in the area. Any additinal prperties added t the Frisc Water service area are required t btain and turn ver t the Twn additinal water rights t cver the additinal cnsumptin that they incur t the system. Cmmunity Services Bill s Ranch is served by the Lake Dilln Fire District. There are fire prtectins and safety cncerns in Bill s Ranch because f limited r n fire prtectin water supply systems in place and the narrw width f the access rads in Bill s Ranch. 5 Plice prtectin is prvided by the Summit Cunty Sherriff s ffice and the Frisc Plice Department. The Twn f Frisc Plice depart- 6 ment wuld have full jurisdictin in the event f an annexatin. Annexatin f Bill s Ranch wuld add significantly t the Plice Department s service area. Children in Bill s Ranch attend Summit Schl District schls. Annexatin wuld nt affect that status. 7 Open Space, Parks and Recreatin The Bill s Ranch Sub Basin Plan states that there are several high quality wetlands thrughut the Bill s Ranch area. The Summit Cunty RecPath ges thrugh the suthern prtin f Bill s Ranch with a building setback f 25 feet alng this pathway. Adequate access and directinal signage t varius recreatinal trail access pints is articulated as a gal in the Bill s Ranch Sub Basin Plan.

In additin, Orphir Muntain Village, a 28 unit residential affrdable husing subdivisin is lcated in this area. Saint Anthny s Summit Medical Center, a 95,000 square ft facility pened in 2005 n a prtin this site

10 Transprtatin Peak One Bulevard/Cunty Rad 1004 leading int the Cunty Cmmns is signalized and paved. The Summit Cunty Rad and Bridge Department currently prvides rad maintenance. The Summit Cunty RecPath traverses the parcel east west. 5 Tw Summit Stage stps are lcated n Cunty Rad 1004, ne at the Cunty Cmmns building and the ther at Orphir Muntain/Senir Center. There als is a Summit Stage stp lcated at the Saint Anthny s Hspital cmplex. Utilities The Cunty Cmmns is served with electric, gas, Frisc Water, and the Frisc Sanitatin District sewer. 7 Frisc Sanitatin has indicated that the sewer cllectin system t the Cunty Cmmns, the medical ffice building, and the hspital is capacity limited. The Hspital and Medical ffice building have used 70% f the taps alltted fr this area. Any additinal taps beynd the amunt alltted will require an upgrade t the cllec6 tin system. Cmmunity Services Fire prtectin fr the Cunty Cmmns is prvided by the Lake Dilln Fire District. Plice prtectin is prvided by the Summit Cunty Sheriff s department. Due t the clse prximity t the Frisc Plice statin (1.5 miles) and gd rad access int the site, plice prtectin by the Twn wuld nt be difficult. It wuld add t the Frisc Plice department s service area. 8 Children residing at the Ophir Muntain Village attend schl in the Summit Schl district. If the area were annexed and develped with additinal residential uses, attentin shuld be given t the ptential impact n the schl district. 9 Open Space, Parks and Recreatin The Frisc Peninsula Recreatin Area, lcated acrss Highway 9, serves as a neighbrhd park (with ball fields, a Frisbee glf curse, skate park, and sledding hill, etc.) Miner s Creek Trailhead is lcated within the vicinity. Several US Frest Service trails are accessed via this trailhead. In additin the Summit Cunty RecPath is cnnected t the Cunty Cmmn. 10

11 Dilln Dam Rad Area Area Descriptin 1 The Dilln Dam Rad area is lcated nrth f Frisc alng Lake Dilln reservir and the Dam rad. The US Frest Service and Denver Water manage lands within this area. The site is hilly east f the Dam Rad and becmes steeper n the west side. The Twn f Frisc abuts the suthern prtin f the area and the Twn f Dilln is lcated t the nrth f the area. Land Use The area cnsists f day use activities at the USFS Gibersn Bay Day Use Facility: fishing access, picnicking, scenic viewing, hiking, and public tilets. At the USFS Heatn Bay campgrund there are 72 campsites. These 2 amenities include a picnic area, fishing access, scenic viewing, hiking, and public tilets. The Dam Rad area als includes a trailhead and parking area, and trail t the Old Dilln Reservir. The Lake Hill Cmmunicatins cmpany has a cmmunicatin facility near the Old Dilln Reservir and Frisc has a water tank near the Dilln reservir. 3 mile plan 11 11

12 This area serves as an imprtant recreatinal and buffer area, as well as an imprtant aesthetic resurce fr Frisc and Summit Cunty. It is zned NR-2, Natural Resurces and A-1, Agricultural, by Summit Cunty. 3 The Ten Mile Basin Master Plan has identified a prtin f this area as a ptential site fr affrdable wrkfrce husing. The Ten Mile Basin Master Plan als states that any new develpment n this site wuld need t be cnducted in an envirnmentally sensitive manner, be cmpatible with adjacent uses, and wuld need t maintain access t area trails. It recmmends that any affrdable wrkfrce husing ccurring in this area be encuraged t incrprate a transitin/buffer area between develpment and recreatinal uses t mitigate visual impacts Transprtatin The Dilln Dam Rad serves as the radway access thrugh the area. The Dam rad is an imprtant primary rute fr travel within the COunty and serves as a key alternativerute when I-70 is clsed. A series f lped 5 rads ff the Dam Rad prvide access int Heatn Bay campgrund and t the Gibersn Bay fishing access parking. The Summit Cunty RecPath runs parallel t the Dilln Dam Rad thrugh this area. This area is nt served by the Summit Stage public transprtatin system. 7 8 Utilities The Dam Rad is maintained by Frisc Public Wrks t twn limits just past the entryway int Lake Frest Subdivisin. Thereafter it is maintained by Summit Cunty gvernment. A twelve inch water main runs alng the Dam Rad t the Twn s water tank site east f Lake Frest subdivisin. Additinal water rights wuld need t be secured by the annexatin petitiner. The additinal miles f rad wuld require additinal man pwer and equipment t maintain service levels Frisc Sanitatin has stated that any develpment in this area may require a relief sewer frm the treatment plant t Dilln Dam rad. Cnnectin t Frisc Sanitatin is feasible if a develper agrees t fund a new sewer main treatment plant t Dilln Dam rad and the pumping statins t make it wrk. A larger develpment may require additinal capacity at the treatment plant. The main sewer cllectr running alng and under Summit Bulevard is appraching capacity. 11 Cmmunity Services The Dilln Dam Rad area is nt served under the jurisdictin f Lake Dilln Fire District, but it is part f the District s respnse area. Respnse areas d nt pay taxes int the Lake Dilln Fire District tax cffers. Areas 12 utside f Lake Dilln Fire jurisdictins can be billed fr Lake Dilln Fire respnse services. Plice prtectin is prvided by the Summit Cunty Sherriff s Office. Due t the added service area and distance frm the Frisc Plice Department, annexatin wuld impact the department. If develpment f affrdable husing n this area wuld ccur, the impacts t the Summit Schl District wuld need t be analyzed. Open Space, Parks & Recreatin The existing land uses fr the area are pen space and recreatin. The site prvides pprtunities fr hiking, fishing, camping, bicycling, crss cuntry skiing, and snw sheing

13 Denver Water Lakeshre Prperty Area Descriptin Denver Water Lakeshre prperty is lcated east f Summit Bulevard and nrth f the Summit Middle Schl, alng the shre f the Dilln Reservir. This area is wned by Denver Water, and abuts the Twn f Frisc n its west side. This area cmprises f apprximately 135 acres. The site is predminantly level with an undulating wded area, meadws, and wetlands. Meadw Creek runs thrugh the site. The wetland and shreline areas prvide habitat fr birds, waterfwl, and small mammals. Denver Water has stated that this area is peratinal prperty necessary fr management f the reservir and that this use will remain in perpetuity. This area has imprtant envirnmental features and is a wildlife habitat fr birds and ther animals. The area is als an undevelped buffer between the reservir and Frisc. Land Use This prperty is under the jurisdictin f Summit Cunty and is zned A-1, Agricultural, which allws uses, densities, and standards intended t prtect the existing character, while prviding fr lw intensity use f natural resurces, and limited residential and recreatinal develpment. Surrunding land uses include residential, cmmercial, and pen space. 1 Any develpment f this area must be designed t be sensitive t the existing envirnmental features f the area. The Summit Cunty Recpath runs thrugh the area. Transprtatin 2 3 mile plan 13 13

14 14 A year rund Summit Stage stp is lcated near the Hliday Inn and Ramada Inn. Several infrmal scial paths run thrughut the area. Pedestrian access int the area is prvided ff f Lake Pint circle, 9000 Divide, and Meadw Creek Drive. The Summit Cunty Recpath runs thrugh this area. Utilities The Denver Water Lakeshre prperty des nt have sewer r water infrastructure. Csts f prviding this infrastructure wuld be expensive. Additinal lane miles f rad wuld require additinal man pwer and equipment in rder t maintain levels f service. Additinal water main and water demand culd burden the existing system. As part f any annexatin, additinal water rights wuld need t be secured by the annexatin petitiner. Frisc Sanitatin District has an 18 inch pipe in an easement adjacent t Meadw Creek Drive that culd serve this prperty. Cnnectin is pssible depending n the number f taps. An upgrade wuld be needed n the pumping statin, frce main dwnstream cllectin system, and the treatment plant. Cmmunity Services The Lake Dilln Fire District prvides fire prtectin within the area. Plice prtectin is prvided by the Cunty Sheriff s ffice. There is a safety cncern fr this area as there is limited r n fire prtectin water supply system and/r apprved fire apparatus access rads. The Frisc Plice Department wuld be respnsible fr plice prtectin in the event f an annexatin, pssibly requiring mre manpwer fr the increased service area. 3 4 Open Space, Parks and Recreatin The current land use is pen space/recreatin. The site has trails and is frequented by walkers, hikers, naturalists and fisherman. This area als serves as a natural and undevelped cnnectin t Willw Preserve which is zned as pen space. Eagles Nest/White River Natinal Frest 5

15 15 Area Descriptin This area is nrthwest f Interstate 70 and nrth f the Ten Mile Creek area. It cnsists f Natinal Frest Land, including a natinal wilderness area, the Eagles Nest Wilderness. Several trails exist in the area, accessed frm the Meadw Creek Trailhead (I-70, Exit 201). Wilderness areas are managed by the USFS t prtect and perpetuate their essentially pristine cnditins, and t ensure they are nt measurably affected by human use. N change in its current status as Natinal Frest Land and wilderness area is anticipated. A change in the wilderness status wuld require an act f the United States Cngress. The Frest Service Landwnership Adjustment analysis fr the Dilln Ranger District recmmends that this area be retained by the US Frest Service. The Twn f Frisc intends t maintain this area in its current frm and wrk with ther interested jurisdictins t preserve the area. Land Use The area is zned NR-2, Natural Resurces by Summit Cunty, and its current land use is pen space/recreatin. 2 Utilities N utilities exist in this area. 3 1 Transprtatin The area is nt served by any radways.

The Twn abuts the area t the nrth and east, while Natinal Frest abuts the neighbrhd t the suth and west. This area has 39 units built and 5 vacant lts remaining. 1 Land Uses Lw density residential and single family residential hmes are the predminant land use in Evergreen subdivisin. This area is under the jurisdictin f Summit Cunty and is zned R-2, single family residential with allwable densities up t 2 units per acre. Transprtatin Rads in the Evergreen subdivisin are unpaved and cnnect t Twn rads. The Cunty Rad and Bridge De- 16

17 partment prvides maintenance. If annexed, the Frisc Public Wrks Department wuld becme respnsible fr rad maintenance, which wuld add t their service area. Frisc wuld require radway imprvements, including paving and widening t ensure it met the Twn f Frisc s design criteria. The Evergreen subdivisin is within walking distance t the year rund Summit Stage bus stp lcated in frnt f Frisc Twn Hall. 2 Utilities This area is served by the Frisc Water Department thrugh an agreement with the develper that dates frm the 1960 s. Annexatin is feasible but the rad right-f-way as it currently exists is fifty feet. The right-f-way wuld need t be increased t 60 feet and permissin wuld need t be btained frm adjacent prperty wners. Additinal lanes and miles f rad wuld require additinal manpwer/equipment t maintain service levels. Frisc Sanitatin serves this subdivisin and sme prperties are cnnected, sme are nt. The sewer cllectin system is large enugh t serve all the prperties. 3 4 Cmmunity Services The Lake Dilln Fire District prvides fire prtectin within the area, and plice prtectin is prvided by the Cunty Sheriff s ffice. There is a safety cncern fr this area as there is limited r n fire prtectin water supply system and/r apprved fire apparatus access rads. 5 Due t the clse prximity t the Frisc Plice statin and gd rad access int the area, plice prtectin by the Twn wuld nt be difficult, and wuld add marginally t the Department s service area in the event f annexatin. Children in the area attend Summit Schl District. Open Space, Parks, and Recreatin The Evergreen subdivisin des nt prvide cmmn pen space t hmewners. The subdivisin des hwever abut the Summit Cunty Recpath and the White River Natinal Frest suthwest f the area mile plan 17 Frisc Heights Subdivisin Area Descriptin 17

18 18 The Frisc Heights subdivisin is apprximately 57 acres and is lcated west f Summit Bulevard and nrth f Walter Byrn Park. The Twn f Frisc brders Frisc Heights n all sides. The slpe f this area varies frm level tpgraphy n the nrth (0 t 6 percent slpe) t undulated and hilly tpgraphy in the suthern prtin f 2 Frisc Heights (6 t 15 percent slpes). Accrding t the Cunty s mst recent build ut study, Frisc Heights has 39 units built, and 1 vacant lt remaining. The Ten Mile Basin Master plan mentins that this culd be a pssible area fr affrdable husing. Hwever, the plan als states that there is strng hme wner ppsitin t affrdable husing in Frisc heights and the Hme Owners Assciatin declaratins mentins single family units as the nly unit type permitted. Land Use The area is under the jurisdictin f Summit Cunty and is zned R-2, single family residential. This zning designatin allws single family units at 2 units per acre. This subdivisin abuts Summit Bulevard which is mre cmmercial in nature. It may be f interest fr parcels abutting Summit Bulevard t fit within Summit Bulevard s cmmercial character as cmmercial zning. Pssible future cmmercial uses wuld be reviewed t be cmpatible with adjacent land uses. Transprtatin The majrity f rads in Frisc Heights subdivisin are unpaved, dirt rads. The Summit Cunty Rad and Bridge Department prvides rad maintenance. Prir t annexatin, the Twn f Frisc wuld require radway imprvements including paving and widening t meet minimum radway requirements t meet Frisc s street design criteria. Annexatin wuld require rad maintenance by the Frisc Public Wrks department which wuld require mre manpwer, hurs, and machinery. This wuld add t the service lad The Twn f Frisc s paved pathway netwrk traverses the east brder f Frisc Heights and a Summit Stage bus stp is lcated at the intersectin f Schl Rad and Summit Bulevard.

19 Utilities Frisc Heights is serviced with gas and electric. Frisc Water des nt serve the area and mst residences are n private r cmmunity water wells. 5 6 The Frisc Sanitatin District serves mst f the area and the sewer cllectin system is large enugh t serve the area. Imprvements t the system may be needed if annexed. 7 Cmmunity Services The Lake Dilln Fire District prvides fire prtectin within the area, and plice prtectin is prvided by the Summit Cunty Sheriff s ffice. There is a safety cncern fr this area as there is limited r n fire prtectin water supply system and/r apprved fire apparatus access rads. 8 Frisc Plice respnd t calls in Frisc Heights; but plice prtectin is prvided primarily by the Summit Cunty Sherriff s ffice. With its clse prximity t Frisc s plice statin and gd access, plice prtectin is nt difficult, but wuld add t the department s service area (pssibly needing mre plice staff) in the event f annexatin. Open Space, Parks and Recreatin As mentined previusly, the Twn s recreatinal pathway runs alng the east brder f Frisc Heights. Walter Byrn Park and wetlands abuts the subdivisin t the suth f Frisc Heights. 9 Frisc Terrace and Wibrg Park Subdivisins Area Descriptin 19
