The Public Record

Any and all references or connections to ZS-009514-2025 within the El Jebel Crossings file documentation, including submittal of a revised Compliance Statement, Geotechnical Reports, and Recorded Easements.

References and connections to ZS-009514-2025 within the El Jebel Crossings documentation primarily relate to the 1041 Permit Application and its technical submittals, specifically focusing on traffic impacts and compliance.

1041 Permit and Compliance Documentation

Permit Association: ZS-009514-2025 (often referenced alongside or as part of 1041-009568-2025) is the primary file number for the El Jebel Crossing 1041 Permit application.

Revised Compliance Statement: The applicant submitted a response letter on January 7, 2026, addressing Referral V.2 comments for the 1041 permit. This response serves as a revised statement of compliance, specifically addressing concerns from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Eagle County Community Development Team regarding "Activities of State Interest".

Traffic and Infrastructure Compliance: A critical part of the compliance documentation includes the applicant's response to a Variance from Improvement Standards (VIS) for building height and berm length, which is linked to the overall 1041 process.

Geotechnical and Engineering Reports

Engineering Standards: While a standalone document titled "Geotechnical Report" was not explicitly listed in the retrieved folder, the file contains Civil Engineering and Site Plan documents (such as C-1.1 and C-1.3) that address internal access, road widths (24-foot vs. 26-foot discrepancies), and stormwater drainage.

Drainage and Soils: The 1041 pre-application summary mandates that Drainage Standards must be addressed per Section 4-650 of the ECLUR and Chapter 6 of the Engineering Criteria Manual.

Technical Objections: Internal documents and public comments (CORA Analysis) reference technical data from the applicant's Traffic Impact Study (TIS), noting discrepancies in trip generation models (ITE Code 223 vs. 215/221).

Recorded Easements and Right-of-Way

Roadway Easements: The county roadway standards for the project require a minimum right-of-way of 60 feet, which can be established through a dedicated right-of-way or a right-of-way easement.

Irrigation Ditch Easements: The documentation notes the potential existence of irrigation ditches crossing the property, requiring irrigation ditch easements of the average width of the ditch plus twenty feet.

Restricted Access Easements: The updated site plans (C-1.1) identify certain connections as "Gated Emergency Access" only, rather than full-use resident connections, which has been a point of contention in the referral process.

Impacts on this project RFSD Housing Master Plan has on this project 

The documentation for the El Jebel (EJ) Crossing project outlines several key ways the Roaring Fork School District (RFSD) Housing Master Plan and associated regional growth factors impact this development:

Cumulative Traffic and Infrastructure Impacts

• Study Omissions: Formal objections and agency comments note that the applicant's Traffic Impact Study (TIS) fails to integrate projected traffic from the planned RFSD housing project.

• Intersection Congestion: Roaring Fork Fire Rescue expressed concern that the cumulative effect of the EJ Crossing units, the School District housing, and other area growth will further degrade response times through intersections already considered "tricky" and "congested" during peak hours.

• Infrastructure Health: Concerns have been raised by the Town of Basalt and local residents that the TIS analyzes the project "in a vacuum" without accounting for the regional growth contemplated in the School District's plans.

Service and Operational Burdens

• School District Referrals: The Roaring Fork School District was included as a formal referral agency for the project, meaning they are tasked with evaluating how the 111-unit development might impact local school capacity and resources.

• Law Enforcement Concerns: Similar to the school district's interest, the Basalt Police Department has flagged that the project's estimated 282 new residents will increase mutual aid costs and service burdens, suggesting a need for financial contributions to offset these impacts.

Housing and Zoning Context

• Workforce Demographic: The documentation characterizes EJ Crossing as a workforce housing project. This aligns with the broader regional goals often seen in local housing master plans to provide year-round occupancy for active commuters.

• Zoning and 1041 Triggers: The project is located on land zoned Residential Suburban Medium Density. Because it exceeds 10 units and requires water/wastewater extensions, it triggered the "Activities of State Interest" (1041) permit process, which requires a more rigorous review of its impact on regional plans and services than a standard development.
