CRMS graduates students with a strong sense of sell-worth,,a lifelong passion for learning, and who through their.energy and example, contribute positively to the world around them. 1493 County Road 106 Carbondale, CO 81623 970-963-2562 Fax 970-963-9865 e-mail: crms-development ecrms.org TABLE OE CONTENTS History and Program Land Use Exhibit I - Land Overview Population Roads Exhibit II - Road Layout Utilities Buildings - Existing Exhibit III - Plat of Existing Buildings Exhibit IV - Photos of Existing Building Buildings - Future Exhibit V - Plat of Proposed Buildings Exhibit VI - Photos of Proposed Building Sites 1 3 8 10 12 13 Summary 15 HISTQRY Colorado Rocky Mountain School (''CRMS") was founded in 1953 by John and Ann Holden, whose dream was to establish a college - preparatory co-ed boarding school in the West that would provide the experiences and skills necessary for growth of mind, body, and character. The values that CRMS teaches are rooted in the close family atmosphere on campus and encompass the le;39.;t95f: learned from the classroom and the out-of-doors, a strong sense of social responsibility, and a regard for fair play, cooperation, and directness. These qualities are essential in educating young people to become responsible and productive adults. The school has an enrollment of approximately 167 students, of which 107 are boarding students and 60 are day students. This year students come from 30 states and 7 countries. The largest representation is from Colorado (96) followed by California (13). CRMS provides financial aid to an average of 35t of its students. Graduates pursue advanced degrees at colleges and universities around the country including Colorado College, Lewis & Clark, Middlebury, Cornell College and the U.S Air Force Academy. The Holdens also believed the school community should represent the diverse social, ethnic, and economic backgrounds of our nation and the world. The first Native American student was enrolled in 1958. Since then, their attendance has averaged two to three per year. The school is also a member of ABC (A Better Chance) and awards a full scholarship to individuals selected for this program. CRMS is open to applicants of all races, creeds and nationalities and is an accredited member of the Association of Colorado Independent Schools, the National Association of Independent Schools and is a member of the College Entrance Examination Board. Program and Achievements Academics are the single most important element of the CRMS program. To graduate, students are required to take a minimum of 20 academic credits including four years of English, three years of mathematics, and three years in three of the following four disciplines; history/social sciences (to include United States History) , foreign language, laboratory sciences, and the fine arts. Programs in outdoor education, sports, work projects, and community service extend learning outside the classroom. The school year begins with wilderness Session, a ten-day service project and expedition among the high peaks of the Holy Cross and Maroon Bells Wilderness Areas. Students and faculty provide an average of 2,000 volunteer hours to the Forest Service annually. In total, twenty days each year are devoted to backcountry excursions. CRMS' wilderness program served as a model for the nation's first Outward Bound School in the early 1960s. CRMS was the first independent school to offer a kayaking program and has produced top white water paddlers. The school's competitive Alpine, Nordic and Snowboarding teams send competitors to the Junior Olympics annually. CRMS puts both its environmental and community ethics into practice through a comprehensive work program. The campus has been built with the assistance of faculty, parent and student labor. It is maintained without a large staff of janitors or housekeepers. Students spend two afternoon hours each week in work crews and two afternoon hours (at a minimum) in sports. They also have a household job in the kitchen, classroom or dormitory. One of the most popular work programs is ranch crew giving students a chance to care daily for the land and animals. Other work programs include recycling, helping with the preschool, tending grounds, painting, and building maintenance. The CRMS community has been a steward of the environment long before it was fashionable. Through student work, CRMS has received state and national recognition for its environmental work. CRMS received the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education Award in 1996, the Colorado Conservation School of the Year Award in 1990 and was a finalist in the Take Pride in America Program initiated by former President Reagan. CRMS maintains a close partnership with the Carbondale community. In cooperation with the Carbondale Council on Arts and Humanities, the CRMS Barn is home to an average of ten performances annually. In addition to providing enriching programs for the school community, these presentations are open to the public. In 1993 CRMS founded Valley Folk Arts_ This two-week program, offered in the summer, includes courses in blacksmithing, pottery, quilting, photography, and Navajo silversmithing and weaving. Francis Whitaker, an internationally renowned blacksmith and 1997 recipient of the National Heritage Fellowship Award, resides and works on campus. Successful fundraising permitted CRMS to construct a new arts facility which includes a blacksmithing shop and a ceramics shop. Students and faculty have made bike racks, coat racks, and chandeliers for the school. In 1988 and 1990, CRMS co-sponsored a Soviet/American exchange program with the Soviet Branch of the World Laboratory for 25 American and 25 Soviet students. The theme of these exchanges was "Problem Solving for the 21st Century." 2 LAND USE General The CRMS campus is situated on approximately 342 acres of land in the Roaring Fork Valley, at the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Crystal Rivers. A11 of the campus is located in uninCorpc c1 Garfield County, with the exception of 40 acres that are within the boundaries of the Town of Carbondale. The school was founded in 1953 by John 'and Ann Holden on what was known as the Bar Fork Ranch. The main dining room/classroom building is knownas the Bar Fork to this day. The Barn, with its distinctive shape and corrugated metal roof is a landmark in this area. This landmark, together with the Holden House, Headmaster House, Log House and Tack Shed are all buildings from the original ranch. Last June, the School celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Barn. The Holden House serves as the present administration building. The School is surrounded on three sides by residential and commercial developments. These developed properties are in the community of Sutank and the Town of Carbondale. The remaining side, generally facing to the west, fronts onto the Crystal River and neighboring ranch lands. The school property can generally be divided into four major categories: CATEGORY ACREAGE 1. Core campus 60 2. Irrigated ranch land 140 3. Dryland ranching and other uses 120 4. Land held for sale 22 TOTAL 342 3 Core Campus The campus core consists of approximately 60 acres of land as highlighted in yellow on the map attachec? as Exhibit 1. Substantially all of the existing buildings on campus are included in the core of the campus. A plat of the school's existing buildings is attached as Exhibit 11 to this plan. Substantially all future building projects are expected to occur in the core campus area. This concentration within the core area is due not only to the availability of existing roads and utilities to service future development, but also to the desire to keep the campus compact enough to allow reasonable walking time between classes, study halls, activities, etc. To the extent possible, the core campus itself is separated into two areas. These are an academic area and a residential area. Dorms and faculty apartments are removed from the academic area to further enhance the sense of community. 4 Irrigated Ranch Land A significant component of the school's operation is the ranch program. Although the ranch program does not generate any net revenue for the school, it does provide excellent experience for the students. Not only are students exposed to the hard work ethic associated with ranching, but also they experience a taste of a lifestyle that is very different to many of them. Included in the operation of the ranch is an extensive irrigation system. This system not only includes the more traditional flood irrigation methods but also sideroll sprinkling systems. The land used in ranch operations consists of approximately 140 acres and is highlighted in green on the map attached as Exhibit I. Ranch operations are expected to continue as is for the foreseeable future. 5 Dryland Ranching and Other Uses The land used for dryland ranching and other uses is highlighted in pink on the map attached as Exhibit 1. This area consists of approximately 120 acres. A significant portion of this property is not suitable for dryland ranching due to steep hillsides etc. The remaining property in this category is used minimally for dryland ranching although it is used in other school operations such as dryland training fitness courses, a former soccer field etc 6 Land Held for Sale Land held for sale consists of 22 of the approximately 4:0 acres of the School's property located within the Town of Carbondale. The property is zoned commercial and was recently put up for sale by the school. In conjunction with putting this property up for sale, the school also acquired an option to purchase an adjoining ranch of approximately 50 acres known as the Wilson property. The exercise of the option on the Wilson property is contingent on the school closing on the sale of its commercial property. 7 Campus Gor.e.

POPULATION The school's 1997-98 student population consists of approximately 167 students of which 107 are boarding students and 60 are day students. There are %+1r=o 16 children in -pre-school. In addition, there are 23 housing units on campus for faculty members and their dependents. This master plan envisions a maximum of 250 students in the future consisting of 150 boarding students (60%) and 100 day students (40%). A commensurate increase in the number of faculty and related housing would be required to support the increased number of students. In addition, a commensurate increase in dorm rooms, classrooms and other support facilities would be necessary to support this population. 8 ROADS The existing roads on campus are highlighted on the map attached as Exhibit II. These same roads would be used to support a population of 250 students although additional parking would be required. Currently, all roads and parking areas are gravel except for approximately 300 feet of road from the main entrance to the administration building, which is paved. There are no significant grades involved on any of the roads or parking areas. The main entrance to the School would continue to be from Road 106. No new roads are anticipated to be needed on the Schools property. However, a significant area of concern involves the increased number of vehicles using Road 106. As the Aspen Glen project builds out and as any future planned unit development projects come on line, the impact of the increased traffic on Road 106 associated with these developments represents a serious threat to the safety of students using this road. This issue needs to be addressed both internally and with Garfield County officials and others to identify ways to mitigate this hazard. Proposals to consider include realignment of Road 106, alternate traffic routes, bike paths etc. The School does not control the growth in the area, but it does need to address the impacts such growth will have on the school. 9 °Po -a -4i S 11111/' Faculty Hewn Lodge Docty Shop 1 Faculty HOMO ► Colorado Rocky Mountain School • Adobe Art Building UTILITIES The school is presently served by all major utilities and there appears to be ample capacity to support the Schools expected growth to a 250 student capacity. No new trunk lines are anticipated and additional service line requirements would not be significant. A summary of individual utilities serving the campus is presented below. Sewer In late 1997, the Town of Carbondale completed construction of the Crystal River Interceptor sewer line. Under the terms of an earlier agreement between the Town and CRMS, the Town made one connection to the CRMS internal sewer line system and provided three stub -outs for CRMS to make additional connections. Two of the three connection to stub -outs were made in 1997. The final connection was delayed until the spring of 1998 due to weather condition and will be completed in the next few months. At that time, the entire campus will be on the Town of Carbondale sewer system except for four faculty houses that are on their own septic system due to their location. CRMS installed 6" sewer line to the stub -outs and we have been advised by our engineer that this would easily handle the proposed expansion in our master plan. Water In 1989, CRMS and the West Carbondale Water Users Association (Community of Sutank) installed an 8" water line known as the Delores Way Water Line Extension. This water line was dedicated to the Town of Carbondale and represents the domestic water supply for CRMS. Internal service lines consist of 4" and smaller lines to serve the existing campus. All of the current buildings on campus receive service from the Town of Carbondale water system except for three faculty houses that are on wells. All future expansion is proposed in areas serviced by the Town of Carbondale water system. In addition to the three wells discussed above, the School has eight other wells that are used for stock watering, irrigation, etc. Irrigation water is provided to the school via the Rockford Ditch. 10 Electric Electric service is provided to the School by Public Service of Colorado. Natural Gas Natural gas is provided to the School by K&N Energy, Inc. Two main natural gas transmission lines, a 6" line and a 10" line, are located in an east -west easement across the school property. Service lines supply the individual buildings. 11 BUILDINGS - EXISTING The following is a schedule of existing buildings: BUILDING NUMBER BUILDING DESCRIPTION 1 Tack Room 2 Faculty House (Headmaster) 3 Girls Dorm (OGD) and Faculty Apartments 4 Faculty House (OGD House) 5 Girls Dorm (Crystal) and Faculty Apartments 6 Faculty House (Sutank) 7 Administration Bldg (Holden House) &Apartments 8 Classroom and Faculty Apartments (OBD) 9 Faculty House (Gaw) 10 Faculty House (Clark) 11 Boys Dorm (NBD) and Faculty Apartments 12 Dining Hall (Bar Fork) 13 Boys Dorm (Lodge) 14 Faculty House and Apartment (Lodge House) 15 Science Building 16 Boys Dorm (New Dorm) 17 Faculty House (New Dorm House) 18 Log House and Apartment 19 Jewelry Hogan 20 The Barn/Library 21 Adobe 22 Maintenance Shop 23 Solar Dormitory 24 White Barn 25 Barn 26 Faculty House and Garage (Main Street) 27 Blacksmith Building Also houses Ceramics (kilns located outside on concrete pad 10' from building structure) 28 Whitaker House 29 Activity Center 30 Shop Storage Sheds 31 Observatory 32 Greenhouse 33 Kayak Shed 12 Ranch s� ■ track Shed Fealty ■ House can Old Gids ' Dormitory Crystal Dormitory k;b bit- --)63-1- 1314,i Ir SOW& field F-1 volley bd Iamb Often .

BUILDINGS - FUTURE With the current year student population of 167 students, the school is operating at or near the practical capacity of its present physical plant. This is particularly true in the areas of dormitories and classroom space. The present theoretical capacity of the dormitories is 128 students. However, the practical capacity is closer to the present population of 107 due to allowing dorm heads single rooms rather than doubles, rooms used for storage, etc. Classroom space is in the same bind with every possible space presently being used for classrooms. To grow to the projected population adopted by this plan of 250 students would require additional dormitory rooms, classroom space, faculty apartments and other support facilities. The proposed new facilities are highlighted on the map attached as Exhibit III to this Plan. These proposed new facilities can be grouped into the following categories: 1. Classroom space 2. Dormitory space 3. Faculty housing 4. Support facilities Classroom Space Two sites were selected for future classroom buildings. Both sites are just east of the maintenance shop road in the general area bounded on the north by the Solar Dorm and on the south by the Science Building. The architectural style, size, etc. were not determined at this time. Each building would contain five or six classrooms plus bathrooms, and other support areas. Dormitories The area known as the Woody Pasture was selected as the location for the next dormitory and faculty apartments. If space permits, this would be the preferred site for two dormitories with attached faculty housing and three to four detached faculty homes. In addition to the Woody Pasture area, the field north of a 13 line from the Lodge house and the Solar Dorm was selected as the site for one or two faculty houses and one dorm. The area by the Gaw & Clark houses was also selected as an alternate dormitory site. Faculty Housing Every new dormitory constn ct-ed would have two attached faculty apartments; generally, one at each end of the building. In addition, several faculty houses would be built in proximity to the dormitories as described above. Any additional faculty housing that was necessary would be built to the north of the existing girls dormitories along the lane to the Headmasters' House. Support Facilities The present location of the administration building was determined to be the best site for such building. However, a new Admissions Office building should be constructed immediately adjacent to the north end of the existing building. A bus parking area should be established by the maintenance shop to reduce traffic through campus and to provide additional visitor parking by the Holden House. An enclosed storage shed should be built next to existing sheds in the maintenance shop area. shop. The maintenance shop should be expanded to create a new wood 14 11)4 Y, Prced ui tdti� N 1 1 1 1 1 .01 OTESESE Colorado Rocky Mountain School . EXHIBIT VI View of Woody Pasture.

BUMMARY In September of 1997, a Buildings and Ground Committee was formed for the purpose of developing the CRMS campus master plan. Members of the committee were solicited from the Board of Trustees, administrators, faculty, students, staff and alumns. The objectives of the committee were to establish what is the campus core, how do we access core facilities, what is the desired traffic pattern for the campus, what is the maximum size of the school we should be planning for, what new facilities arc needed, where should these facilities be located, how does this affect our infrastructure and, most importantly, how does all this fit in with the mission statement and vision of the school! A series of meetings were held that generated considerable impact from all constituencies. As might be expected with a group of this size, each subject generated a number of diverse strongly - held opinions. But in the end, the process worked! The group as a whole reached a consensus on virtually every topic, albeit not without considerable debate. The document that emerged from the process truly represent a "meeting of minds" of a diverse group. Obviously, there is much yet to be done. Challenges such as deferred maintenance on the existing plant, use of energy efficient construction, architectural themes for new buildings etc still need to be resolved. But the basic parameters of the campus Master Plan have been resolved. The first issue addressed by the committee was what is the campus core and where should our focus be. Consideration included the increased traffic on adjacent roads, nearby development of commercial property, utilization of our existing, Tick Ridge property, protection of the river corridor etc. The committees conclusion was that the existing campus core should be retained for many reasons. Once the issue of the campus core was settled, the issue of transportation routes - both vehicles and pedestrians needed to be addressed. Previous plans had shown various changes in the traffic configuration. The committee determined that the existing roads and footpaths served the campus well and would work for any future expansion with certain improvements. There included upgrading the road to the north end, adding a bus parking lot by the maintenance shop and possibly adding a day student parking area by the Solar Dorm. The issue of size of the school generated the most controversy by far. The resounding message from all members of the committee was clearly not to grow to a large school. But how many students constitute a small school and at what level should we be? Numbers ranged from 140 to 300. After considerable discussion, the committee set a maximum of 250 students that should be used in the Master Plan. This number represents 150 boarding students and 100 day students. Based on the parameters determined above, the 15 committee evaluated the need for and location of additional plant facilities. In summary, these proposed new facilities consist of: a. Two new classroom buildings of six classrooms each to be built in the area between the Solar Dorm and the Science Building. b. A third classroom building to be constructed on the folxrxriation of the existing New Dcp,:,.. The New Dorm will be moved to a site north of the Lodge House and Solar Dorm. c. Two new dormitories and attached faculty apartments would be built in the Woody Pasture area. A third dormitory would be built between the present Gaw and Clark houses. d. Three or four faculty houses would be built in the Woody Pasture area and also in the area north of the existing girls dormitories. One or two.faculty houses plus attached faculty apartments would be built in the area where the New Dorm is to be relocated. e. The present administration building is bulging at the seams. To relieve the pressure and accommodate the additional enrollment, a new admission building would be built at the north end of the Holden House. f. Additional space would be needed for the active curriculum so the maintenance shop would be expanded to include a new wood shop and additional storage sheds would be added next to the existing sheds. The timetable for completion of the above projects stretches over the next 25-30 years. 16 Certiflcate of Occupancy O z A o� 0,4 iLd v A° .s b� b U .10 3 la it i t440 b A o CO ca j M 21 dd 2a rM XI CIS c a C4D CI VI M 41 E,o o .▪ a o= o,0 I v 1 ;ga. 64• V .114 o 2ga, aT J fi's 15 442 tle 41 g . eon a o1 2 Z .es 0 o E-+ 0 4-1 o 0 4-1 E • os os .9 PE 0 O w 4o 48 2 cg 1 I I I I I I I I l.
