Board of County Commissioners and Land-Use Code Revision Advisory Committee 108 8th Street Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: Professional Planning Consultant Statement of Interest to Facilitate
and Draft Revisions to the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution of 2008 Dear Garfield County BOCC and Advisory Committee: Statement of Interest Winston Associates and The Land
Studio, Inc have joined together to propose the attached scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and budget to facilitate and draft revisions to the Garfield County Unified Land Use Resolution
of 2008. We have included relevant experience, resumes, and references for each of our firms related to this submittal. The Team Winston Associates will be the prime contractor for the
team. Jeff will facilitate most of the Advisory Committee work sessions, and the public meeting(s). Jeff Winston, principal at Winston Associates, has over 30 years experience in county
and community planning, including the most recent updates of comprehensive plans for Garfield County, Glenwood Springs, and Rifle. He has particular expertise and acknowledgement for
his facilitation skills, having helped forge consensus on numerous complicated and highly visible projects and problems. The most recent update of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan
gave him invaluable insights into the issues and concerns of county residents, including perceived conflicts between regulations and economic development. Doug Pratte of The Land Studio
will co-lead the project with Jeff Winston and will work closely with the Advisory Committee between work sessions. Doug has been a land planner in the Roaring Fork Valley and Colorado
River valleys of Colorado since 1986, following his ten years of experience with Design Workshop, Inc. as a landscape architect and land planner. The Land Studio’s current work on the
western slope of Colorado includes development/conservation oriented planning, site design, large-scale community planning, and large scale master planning. They serve both the public
and private sector. Doug’s work has allowed him to personally experience the ULUR process numerous times. Additionally, Doug has been involved as a participant in the Comprehensive Plan
Update processes in both Eagle and Garfield Counties and

to the ULURs as prepared by Garfield County Staff and Clarion and Associates. The combination of experiences above have given both Jeff and Doug intimate familiarity with the issues
to be addressed in this project, many of the Advisory Committee members, the County staff, and of course the Board of County Commissioners. They can “hit the ground running” in order
to efficiently accomplish the project tasks within the timeline and budget allocated. We believe that our comprehensive analysis, and a thorough approach to solutions will result in
a complete set of Phase II revisions to the Garfield County Code. As always, we look forward to the opportunity to work with Garfield County on this project. Sincerely, WINSTON ASSOCIATES,
INC. Jeffrey T. Winston, Principal jtwinston@winstonassociates.com

Garfield County Revised Land Use Code 2 !""#$!%&'($'(&)'"#$*)%(' The Phase I revision work eliminated close to 100 pages of text from the Code. Notwithstanding, having worked with the
Working Group, Staff, and Clarion, and being familiar with all of the background documents related to Phase I, it is clear that significant additional changes to the Code are still possible
in order to achieve the Advisory Committee’s objectives of simplifying, streamlining, and making the Code more user friendly. Focus on the Phase I “To-Do” List We feel the most important
aspect of our effort is to build on the work accomplished in Phase I, and address the unaddressed concerns of the Working Group. We propose that there will also be an opportunity early
on for the Advisory Committee, especially the newly added members, to propose additional or modified items, and then for the AC to confirm or modify the “To-Do” list. Consultant Roles
We intend to support the work of the Advisory Committee through: • Facilitated discussions with the Advisory Committee—to help the Committee work through the various issues and options,
looking carefully at the trade-offs, the benefits as well as the positive/negative consequences, and then to make the recommendation that will best serve the public interest. • Extensive
research between Advisory Committee meetings, summarizing the decisions of the prior meeting, preparing for the next meeting, and presenting well-evaluated options to the Committee.
‘Process’ vs. ‘Content ’ Issues We have carefully reviewed the Phase I recommendations1 and feel that the issues raised are of two general types: Processrelated, and Content-related
(see list at the end of this section). We propose to address the Process-related issues first. There are a number of issues and recommendations that are relatively easy to address that
will allow the AC to get to know each other, build a good working relationship, and establish procedures for problem solving. It is very possible that at least some of the recommendations
could be implemented relatively quickly, allowing benefits to potential future applicants even before the project is complete. Some of the Content-related solutions may be obvious, others
may take more deliberation. We propose a process in Part 2 of assessing the Content-related issues, prioritizing 1 Working Group memo to the BOCC dated December 19, 2012.
Garfield County Revised Land Use Code 3 them, and then addressing the Priority 1 issues first, Priority 2 issues second, and so on. This will assure that, if some items take longer than
anticipated, the budget will be expended on the items of highest priority. In Part 2 we are also proposing a process of “rolling” topics (similar to a “first” and “second” reading process)—that
is, considering one or more topics and bringing them to a general conclusion, moving to a second set of topics, then revisiting the first set of topics again after having time for contemplation.
Legal Counsel We have elected NOT to engage a separate legal counsel, at least at the outset of this project, for several reasons: We feel it will be preferable to focus on concepts
and process, not technicalities, and that we can accomplish this through “layman’s language” drafts of Phase II Code revisions (especially those related to process). We feel that it
is important, and propose, that the County Attorney’s office to work as part of the team, participate in the work sessions and provide concurrent input. This will created shared ownership
of the outcome, and better enable them to help implement the recommendations. If complex legal questions arise, that the County Attorney’s office doesn’t have time to delve into, we
will assess the relative importance with the whole Advisory Group and adjust the budget and scope accordingly.
Garfield County Revised Land Use Code 4 Issues Ident ified in Work ing Group memo to the BOCC December 19, 2012. Proces s -related Is sues : • Separate legal opinion in any planning
staff report on a land use project from the comments/opinions of the planning staff. • Adopt a provision that any applicant can appeal his case to the BOCC directly at any stage of any
land use review/permit process for consideration of an interpretation by planning staff adverse to the applicant and that the hearing on such before the BOCC shall be held promptly,
no later then 30 days. • All hourly review fees charged an applicant for staff review time be limited to complicated land use matters and if charged, that they be itemized by task and
time in detail. • Article 2: Land Use Permits. To simplify the planning process for land use change applicants, each of the Land Use Permit processes identified in this section will
include the submittal requirements, standards to be met, affordable housing requirements, review procedures, and associated fees. • Create and adopt a simplified Land Use Change Process
Guide for each of the land use changes ultimately appearing the code, formatted for inclusion on the county website and for printing. • Review process be changed so that restarting an
application due to changes in a project is eliminated, especially when caused by requirements made by referral agencies or from redundant approvals by Garfield County agencies. • Pre-application
conference/process should identify known issues related to a land use change so they show requirements for a specific project and train staff to create clear Pre-App conference summaries
so they become a table of contents for an application and to use county GIS to determine application standards. • Processing applications that require other approvals be allowed an early
technical review process with county and referral agencies. • That new projects that require MIR be processed through sketch, preliminary and final plan stages. • That uses not listed
within a given district may be processed as a Major Impact Review. Content -related Is sues : • Article 16 of the code (Definitions) be further reduced/redacted and recommendations for
those reductions Affordable housing regulations do not burden rural land use owners • Non-conforming use regulation • Resource lands should have the 35 acre subdivision or conveyance
rule modified to save time and expense • Pipeline permitting needs overhauling • Vegetation Bond rules need to be revised as to their length of time in force and the process to release
them • Restructure county offsite road impact rules so all applicants know required mitigation requirements • Adopt flexible infrastructure incentives for extensions of infrastructure
investment to promote economic development • Define the limits of county staff involvement once an approved project goes to construction. • That contractor yard distinctions be based
on the acreage size of the site plan and not the size of the parcel. • PUD zoning be made more user friendly • Article 7, Standards, be reviewed and reduced or otherwise amended as standards
for each application type are included in Article 2 and Article may be eliminated as much of it is in Article 7. • Article 12 and 13 be simplified and appeals and penalties be streamlined
and reduced. • A review of fees be made to determine reasonableness to being business friendly

to facilitate a 3-way agreement with the Regional Transportation District (RTD), and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) regarding the development of RTD’s light rail station
on GSA property (the Federal Government Office Center) within the City boundaries. The result of the facilitation was a Memorandum of Understanding that addressed: design standards,
phasing, land use adjustments, responsibility for infrastructure improvements and approval processes.
Garfield County Revised Land Use Code 10 Brian Head Code Revis ions Brian Head Resort (southern Utah) desired a more user-friendly land development code to encourage development, reduce
conflicts and streamline the review process. Jeff Winston worked with the Brian Head attorney to combine and simplify elements of the Code, including an innovative sequence of application
steps, and requirements, that enable even a novice to navigate through the submittal requirements to prepare a complete application. It also allowed the Town staff to efficiently determine
whether submittals were complete and to apply the appropriate regulations/standards. Garfield County, CO Comprehens i ve Plan -2010 Garfield County, CO experienced strong growth pressures
during the latter 1990s and into the 2000s – primarily due to the rapid expansion of the oil and gas industry. Also during that time, disagreements on where growth should occur and how
impacts should be mitigated began to alienate the county from its municipalities (governments and residents). With the desire to understand and address the needs of all its residents
(regardless of residing inside or outside of a municipality), Garfield County leaders wanted to set a new course of action. With this in mind, the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan
was designed to ensure that land use decision-making in the county: • Is responsive to community goals and objectives • Respects the sensitive ecosystems within the county’s jurisdiction
• Does not unduly burden the county with service inefficiencies, • Does not infringe on a private property owner’s right to develop his/her land • Is consistent with the overall public
health, safety and welfare of county residents. Key issues confronting the county included a changing population center, a jobs/housing balance, need for economic diversity, loss of
rural character, platted-but-vacant lands, cost of growth, and uncoordinated growth. The big plan concepts were to better coordinate efforts with federal, state and local governments;
and to direct growth toward municipalities’ urban growth areas. The intention was to create new partnerships and promote collaborative efforts to provide cost efficient growth patterns
while preserving the valued assets of the county. The immediate action step following plan adoption is to enter into inter-governmental agreements, in regard to directing growth and
whose jurisdiction occurs where, with each municipality.
Garfield County Revised Land Use Code 11 Rifle Comprehensive Plan Update – Cit y of Rifle, CO -2010 Winston Associates worked with the City of Rifle, CO to update its 1998 Comprehensive
Plan. The outdated plan no longer served as a” blueprint for growth” for the city. After years of recovery from the Oil Shale bust in the early 1980’s, the city is once again growing.
Areas of focus included: evaluation of large annexations, accommodating adequate energy worker housing, expansion of the city sales tax base, exploring alternative energy sources and
accommodating natural gas extraction, revitalizing the central business district and capitalizing on the Colorado River corridor. Keypad voting was successfully utilized to build consensus
for the Comprehensive Plan. Collaborating with city staff, the Winston Associates team identified a three tiered approach to accommodate city growth and annexations. Future city growth
is planned for incremental and smart growth and precludes “leap-frog” developments. The three goals of this “Urban containment” initiative are: containment of urban development, open
space preservation, and urban development accommodation. Numerous key entry point locations have been identified for formalized city entry monuments. The Land Studio Relevant Garfield

Purpose of Form A person who is required to !le an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identi!cation number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to
you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA. Use Form W-9 only
if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to: 1. Certify that the TIN you are
giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued), 2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or 3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are
a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the
withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income. Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s
form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. De!nition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:
organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in
the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been
received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership
conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income. Cat.

Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011) Page 2 The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income
from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases: • The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity, • The U.S. grantor or
other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and • The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person,
do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident
alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain
a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise
become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from
U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items: 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under
which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving
clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty
article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States.
Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol
to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States.
A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship
or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity
not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8. What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions
withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest,
dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup
withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable
interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: 1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, 2. You do not certify your
TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details), 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject
to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or 5. You do not certify to the requester
that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only). Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup
withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9. Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1. Updating Your Information You
must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future
from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition,
you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish
your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for
false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty. Criminal
penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If
the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Specific Instructions Name If you are an individual, you
must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration
of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name. If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the
name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form. Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the “Name” line. You may

on the “Name” line and any business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA) name” on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. Disregarded entity. Enter the owner's name on the “Name”
line. The name of the entity entered on the “Name” line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the “Name” line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the
income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner's name is required
to be provided on the “Name” line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded
entity's name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, you must complete an appropriate Form W-8. Note. Check
the appropriate box for the federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the “Name” line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation,
Trust/estate). Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the “Name” line is an LLC, check the “Limited liability company” box only and enter the appropriate code for
the tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, enter “P” for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed
a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner
under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the “Name” line) is another
LLC that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified
on the “Name” line.
Form W-9 (Rev. 12-2011) Page 3 Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required federal tax documents on the “Name” line. This name should match the name shown on the charter
or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. Exempt Payee If you are exempt from backup
withholding, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the “Exempt payee” box in the line following the “Business name/disregarded
entity name,” sign and date the form. Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for
certain payments, such as interest and dividends. Note. If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete this form to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding.
The following payees are exempt from backup withholding: 1. An organization exempt from tax under section 501(a), any IRA, or a custodial account under section 403(b)(7) if the account

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN. If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded
as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN.
If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN. Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations. How to get a TIN.
If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office
or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for
an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and
clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).
If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend
payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to
backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to
the requester. Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a
foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8. Part II. Certification To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be

such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get
a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund. To reduce your risk: • Protect your SSN, • Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and • Be careful when choosing
a tax preparer. If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or
letter. If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit
report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039. For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance. Victims
of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible
for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. Protect yourself from suspicious
emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email
to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The IRS
does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar
secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov.
You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails
to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to
reduce your risk. Privacy Act Notice Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file
information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the
cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS,
reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District
of Columbia, and U.S. possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce
civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return.
Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties
may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information.
