The applicant will need to respond to these conclusions.ĭiamond described the site as being on the 100-year floodplain of the Slate River, and providing “habitat for elk, black bear, mule deer, moose, striped skunks, red fox, coyotes and an occasional mountain lion, along with numerous other small mammals, as well as nesting and foraging habitat for many bird species. It may also be beneficial to contact the Crested Butte Land Trust to identify any areas where you may collaborate and work together to support wildlife in the area.”Īrea Wildlife Manager Brandon Diamond officially commented on the project on June 17 and concluded that individually and as part of an ongoing development trend, it may lead to smaller and lower quality wildlife habitat in the area. I recommend that you also consult with CPW to identify mitigation efforts that may be satisfactory. “You may want to utilize your current consultant, Bio-Logic, Inc. “Please propose mitigation that addresses the comments of CPW and complies with the (county) standards,” Pagano wrote Somrak. She made it clear that the county requires a developer to mitigate adverse impacts it causes to lands determined to be sensitive wildlife habitat. In the same letter, Pagano informed Somrak that the plans had been referred to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife office to garner comments on the project’s potential impact on nearby wildlife. The property is located on an 80 acre lot on County Road 734 (Slate River Road).

The Wandering Willows building permit application was submitted earlier this summer and has a site plan for a 9,984-square-foot home and 2,189-square-foot detached garage for an aggregate square footage of 12,173 square feet plus a 300-square-foot greenhouse on one 43-acre parcel. It was her understanding that Somrak is currently revising the plans but if that didn’t happen, the project would be bumped up to the next review level. If a proposal exceeds that threshold the project would be required to go through the Minor Impact Land Use Change permit process which is normally a more detailed and more public process. In a June 22 letter to Ben Somrak of Somrak Concept and Structure, Gunnison County director of community and economic development Cathie Pagano said the county had determined the plans as originally submitted exceeded the total 12,500 square feet allowed for an administrative review. The initial county review for the controversial Wandering Willows project proposal for a large 10,000 square foot home with several outbuildings located up the Slate River Valley is requiring a revision of the plans submitted to meet the threshold of an administrative review and alerting the builder that wildlife impacts could influence the ultimate approval decision by the county.
