SUMMARY OF CONCERNS
An immediate concern is the massive El Jebel Crossing development, proposed by the Aspen Skiing Company (Aspen One) for 111 oversized workforce rental units on a 20-acre parcel adjacent to Blue Lake. We have reviewed the proposed development and have the following concerns.
Key Issues of Concern:
Incompatible Scale: Construction of three-story multi-family buildings that are visually incompatible with the low-profile, single-family community.
Flawed Traffic & Public Safety:
Bad Data: The Traffic Impact Study uses the wrong standard (Affordable Housing ITE 223), resulting in an unrealistic estimate of only 28 total vehicle trips during the AM rush hour.
Catastrophic LOS Failure: The project will push key intersections, including our exit at JW Drive/Highway 82, into a Level of Service (LOS) F failure.
Recommended Compromise: We are likely to urge the County to require the applicant to scale the project back to a maximum of 50–60 units and limit the building height to a compatible 1 or 2 stories.-----Your Immediate Action is Needed. If you have concerns about this project, send your comments to planningcomments@eaglecounty.us The increase in traffic will affect all Missouri Heights residents who use El Jebel Road.
The application is seeking approval for a 1041 Permit and a Variance from Improvement Standards (VIS) for EJ Crossing. The VIS request specifically seeks relief from two Eagle County standards: (1) the Level of Service (LOS) requirement for nearby intersections, and (2) the requirement for a 50-foot right-of-way (ROW) dedication for residential streets.
