RE: Lions Ridge; County Road 100/Hwy 82 Intersection
Dear Mr. Laatsch:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter sent to the Colorado Department of Transportation, requesting that
they respond to the issues addressed in your previous letters. Hopefully, CDOT will take the
requested actions or provide a reason for not doing something, to which we can respond.
In terms of the other issues noted in your August 23, 1998 letter. The County Pest and Weed
office has been apprized of your concerns and will not be doing any spraying not necessary to
prevent noxious weeds from developing in your area. Unfortunately, the November 97 letter
never made it to the Board. The Board will consider your request as a part of the 1999 budget
process.
If you have any other questions or concerns about the issues noted, please feel free to write to the
Board or present your concerns in person at one of the Board meetings. There are times for
citizens not on the agenda, on each Commissioner's agenda. The Board meets the first three
Mondays of each month.
Sincerely,
Marian I. Smith, Chairman

Highway 82 intersection with Garfield County Road 100
Dear Mr. Leonard:
Prior to the department's installation of the traffic signal at the above mentioned
intersection the department had signs approaching the intersection that identified the
cross road as County Road 100. As part of the traffic signal installation the approach
signage to the intersection was changed and in those changes the department choose
to delete any reference to the cross road. We have waited to see if and what type of
signs the department was going to install however, since it has been a year and there
still is no designation of County Road 100 we are now left to seek what you removed
from our homes.
The lack of proper signage locating County Road 100 as you approach the
intersection on Highway 82 places the lives of our family, friends and guests at risk.
The slightest impairment to safety or law enforcement response to our homes is not
an acceptable risk for us to bear. Nor the malicious action of removal of the
intersection signage by a state agency that has been intrusted with the health, welfare
and safety of the citizens of Colorado.
On the everyday life side it has been an undue burden to direct friends, deliveries
and visitors to a major cross road of Highway 82 without a road name. We are now
related to the famous road side rest area, No Name.
As with all matters relating to this intersect the departments disinterest in our health,
welfare and safety is not acceptable and we respectfully request the intersection
signage be corrected to include County Road 100 immediately.

Re: Lions Ridge Estates Homeowner's Association
Highway 82 intersection with Garfield County Road 100
Dear Mr. Leonard:
It appear from the design and installation efforts at the intersection of County Road
100 and Highway 82, that the department either lacks the knowledge in the design
and construction of pedestrian facilities, has a disinterest or simply lacks the
capability in your department to address safety issues.
1. The department located and painted the stop bar for south bound traffic on CR
100 past the crosswalk markings. This violates the uniform traffic control manual,
the state and federal regulations and places the pedestrians using the crosswalk in
peril.
2. The crossway markings across Highway 82 are all but gone. Not only are these
marking not visible there is no traffic stop bar to provide for traffic control.
3. The time sequence of the CR 100 light does not provide sufficient time for the
able bodied to say nothing about those of us with diminished sprinting speed to cross
highway 82. Both from the pedestrian and the driver perspective there are many
vehicles that run the red light at this intersection. The speeds maybe to great, signage
insufficient, yellow sequence too short, minimal enforcement or all of the above.
4.The gravel walk from highway 82 to the park & ride may not meet the ADA
requirements for gradient. However the more serious condition is the placement and
installation of the culvert under the path. While the department by its design
standards extends culvert beyond driveway edges, you have chosen to end the culvert
under the path at the very edge of the walk. This condition places the user in a
dangerous position to step into a 2' +\- hole. The departments interest is in the motor
vehicle however it appear the department lacks interest in pedestrian safety.
Your attention and correction of these dangerous condition is requested.

Re: Lions Ridge Estates Homeowner's Association
Highway 82 intersection with Garfield County Road 100
Dear Mr. Leonard:
Last year in my letters of April 7 and April 14 questions about the design and
construction of the intersection were raised. The department did review the issues of
the intersection and installed the signal and improved the radii at the north side of the
intersection. There appeared to have been several site visits by the department staff
to review the intersection during the signalization work and our hopes were that the
original construction plans, state and federal design standards would be brought in
full compliance.
It is now sixteen months later and the department addressed some of the issues to the
north but has yet to address the intersection design issues to the south of highway 82.
The issues raised last year were intended to have the department install a correct and
safe intersection that complied with your standards and federal regulations.
The radii from and to highway 82 to county road 100 are in the 2-3' range. Outside
of the obvious violation of the above mentioned standards this condition restricts
vehicle movements, endangers pedestrians, enhances accidents, causes damage to the
road and shoulders and removes signage as a result of the mis driven.
As you are aware this is one of several letters addressing issues with this intersection,
the departments indifference to its own standards, federal regulations and as we
perceive, your malicious disregard for our safety and well being.
We are asking that you live up to your obligations, that you address safety as a
priority, that you take a serious and comprehensive review of this intersection and in
fact all of the intersections in the valley along Highway 82 and do it right. The
oversights, poor construction, blind eye to safety are not tolerated in Denver or along
the front range, they will not be tolerated here either.
If you have any questions please forward, we are open and willing to discuss our
issues at anytime. If the issues are unclear please review the enclosed photos and
maybe your own site visit maybe enlightening.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Well, we have talked and talked about the new water service lines for several years
here at Lion's Ridge and it appears that the talking is over. Within the next six
weeks we should be under construction. All of the impact of construction will be
along Lion's Ridge Road. A photo log of the road condition will be established as
well as as -built photos and plans. The plans are in autocad format if they maybe of
any interest to the county.
We have started the permit process and of course will be filing with the roads
department for the cuts and general work. Enclosed is a plan of the project for your
reference. The expense is one that no one is looking forward to, however, the idea
that the delivery system will be to current standards makes this project worth while.
We appreciate the Countys help and consideration in our effort and look forward to
its completion. You can reach me during the day at 920-7071 or at night at 963-3605
if you have any questions and of course any advise is welcome.

LIONS RIDGE ROAD; COUNTY ROAD 100 INTERSECTION WITH
HIGHWAY 82
Dear Commissioner Smith:
Pursuant to our recent conversation, I have enclosed the November 1997 letter that was sent to
you regarding the condition of Lions Ridge Road. As you will also find letters sent to CDOT
last year regarding the intersection of State Highway 82 and County Road 100 were copied to
the county administrator.
Pending correspondence to CDOT will now be copied directly to you for your information.
I have talked enough about the indiscriminate herbicide spraying that has killed our grasses,
wildflowers and trees. This practice by the county is not acceptable. Snow plowing last winter
was sporadic, the roads were not swept this spring and the divots taken by the plowing that
was done have not been replaced.
You will also find in the pending correspondence with CDOT, that the county could have also
requested the State to correct the conditions at the intersection of County Road 100 and R2 but
has turned its back on the safety of the residents and in particular has discarded the residence
of Lions Ridge. This too is not acceptable, nor will it be tolerated.
Thank you for your time and efforts on our behalf.

Water Line Construction/Road Construction
Dear Commissioner Smith:
The homeowners of Lions Ridge have recently completed the reconstruction of our water
main, up -graded our control system, improved distribution to fire hydrants and had natural gas
service brought to our subdivision. While most of this work was conducted with little to no
impact to Lions Ridge Road, those areas where cuts and crossings to the road were made have
been repaired. However, as this work was done it became very apparent that the road was in
need of repair. At best, the asphalt layer is 1 1/2"-2" thick and has had no uniform treatment
of service since it was constructed 17 years ago.
We believe that our impact to the road is now complete and that we now have a water system
that is to today's standards. It would be of great service to our homes to now have
improvements to our road.
While there are many levels of improvement that could be made, a simple and less expensive
one would greatly help our accessability into the future. Consideration of Lions Ridge Road
for a seal and chip application in 1998 would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Ed:
Please find enclosed the correspondence that we discussed recently. I have not
responded to Owen's letter of September as yet but I expect to make the time in the
coming weeks.
The state has not constructed the intersection with Highway 82 in accordance with
their original plans nor have they completed much of anything at this location that
meets their own standards for construction. They are quick to transfer the signage
responsibility to the County.
It appears to me that their attention to detail is in direct proportion to the public
interest and the county influence ie: Pitkin County appears to be able to demand
greater accountability then Eagle or Garfield.
I will copy you on all future correspondence.

Re State Highway 82 Intersection with Garfield County Road 100
Dear Mr. Laatch,
OT
Thank you for your three letters of August 23, 1998 concerning the intersection of State Highway
82 with Garfield County Road 100. This letter is intended to respond to all concerns you have
raised in your August 23, 1998 letters. I feel it is appropriate to condense my response to you
into one single correspondence since your concerns all relate to issues which are specific to the
features of the SH 82/GCR 100 intersection.
The first of your letters contains four (numbered) issues relative to pedestrian striping, traffic
signal timing as it relates to pedestrian use, and the geometry/ADA compliance of the gravel
pedestrian ditch crossing and side culvert from the park and ride lot to SH 82.
I am in agreement with your letter in that the existing pedestrian crosswalk striping at this
intersection has deficiencies as follows. The stop bar for southbound GCR 100 is misplaced.
Stop bars for the remaining three legs of the intersection need to be placed. The crosswalk
striping is generally faded and in need of replacement. CDOT will correct these deficiencies as
soon as the work can be scheduled, prior to this winter.
I have reviewed the timing sequence of the signals with the Region Traffic Engineer. The
clearance timing for pedestrians crossing SH 82 has been verified to meet the requirements set
forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This was verified both by checking the
settings in the controller and by field verification of the signal phases. As an auxiliary check. we
also walked the SH 82 pedestrian crossing to compare walking times to signal phasing and found
the clearance times to be adequate. However, in reviewing this specific intersection with
reference to our standards, I agreed that two safety enhancements could be made at this location.
First, the clearance time for SH 82 pedestrians has been increased by six seconds. This change in
signal phasing was accomplished on September 24, 1998. This will allow additional time for
pedestrians crossing SH 82 and should not unreasonably impact traffic at the intersection. A
second enhancement that will be made will be to add numeric count down pedestrian signal heads
to the standard symbol WALK/DON'T WALK pedestrian signal heads on each side of SH 82.
These special heads will give pedestrians better information when using the signalized crossing,
and should improve comfort levels of users crossing SH 82.
The third issue of your first letter concerns the geometry and ADA issues with the gravel
pedestrian ditch crossing and side culvert from the park and ride lot to SH 82. The pedestrian
ditch crossing and side culvert were installed as part of a park and ride construction contract
completed in 1997. That project did not include paving and ADA facilities due to funding
constraints. It is our intent to provide a paved surface for the park and ride facility and the
crossing on a future project when funding allows. ADA facilities may be added at that time.
The second of your letters concems the issue of street signing for GCR 100 at the intersection.
Prior to the installation ofthe traffic signal in 1996, this intersection was an obscure intersection
on SH82 per the MUTCD. Crossroad symbol signs were placed both eastbound and westbound
on SH 82 to provide advance warning of that condition. Although not required, supplemental
plaques identifying the crossroad as CR 100 were posted in conjunction with the crossroad signs.
With the installation of the traffic signal, the intersection was no longer obscured but well defined
and the crossroad symbols and supplemental plaques were replaced with signal ahead signs.
Placement of street signs on state highways for local roads and streets is the responsibility of the
local jurisdictions. I will defer to Garfield County in this matter. Upon notification from the
County, CDOT will gladly agree to allow uniform placement of street signs at County expense.
Your third letter addresses design standards and the length of turning radii, on the south side of
the intersection. Installation ofthe traffic signal was completed by CDOT Maintenance forces in
1997. Our records verify a substantial reduction in accidents at the intersection since the
installation ofthe traffic signal. As noted above, a separate park and ride lot construction contract
was completed also in 1997. Neither of these scoped improvements included work to reconfigure
the geometry of the intersection. There are no projects programmed within the Statewide
Transportation Plan to reconstruct this intersection. Therefore, I cannot offer a commitment to
you about when this intersection will be reconstructed. It is our intent to provide for additional
paving of radii in the intersection on a future project when we pave the park and ride lot.
Thank you for your interest in our transportation system.

Dear Mr. Moston:
The Board has voted unanimously to request the Department to cease construction of
the West -bound bus stop in the relocated near side position with County Road 100.
and to maintain and improve the present far side stop location.
The Board representing the 15 homes in the Association believe the new location.
near -side presents a life-threatening obstruction to our safety, the safety of our
children, friends and guests. We use this intersection by means of foot. bike and
vehicle numerous trips per day by one of these means and to be intentionally
endangered by such a deliberate and callous act on the part of the Department is
unconscionable.
Standards for vehicle movement have been less than ideal at this intersection: radii
are next to non-existent, there are no left turn acceleration lanes in either the west or
east bound direction, which may have contributed or in -fact may have played a major
role in several accidents to date. Now the Department is intentionally obstructing the
intersection and placing pedestrians and bus passengers in the right turn deceleration
lane as well as at the highest point of turning movements, left turn south. This is
totally unacceptable.
The Department's abuse of our safety and endangerment of our lives must stop. You
can reach me during the day at 920-7071 or at night at 963-3605.

Dear Mr. Moston:
It was brought to my attention that the proposed illumination at the intersection consists of 40
foot high mounted sodium vapor lamps in non cut-off fixtures. While you and your engineers
may view the impact of the illumination at the intersection with indifference and having no
negative impacts to a residential community, you are wrong. We in Lions Ridge Estates not
only use this intersection as our link to the world we also look out and down upon it daily and
nightly.
First. there is no argument as to the need and assistance that illumination will provide to the
intersection safety. However. lighting done poorly is an affront to everyone and is a
particularly harmful impact to the quality of life for this community. We would like to think
that you have completed an illumination design with distribution patterns I.T.L. test data. for
initial and maintained foot candles and would make that available to the community. and that
you in fact are using one of many sophisticated fixtures that will maximize the illumination on
the ground where it is intended.
However. since there has been a total lack of communications with our community it is
therefore necessary that we request detailed identification of the illumination design. fixture
type, lamp wattage and type, mounting height and locations, illumination criteria and I.T.L.
test data with foot candle distribution patterns. We would also request that the department
minimize the negative impacts of this new illumination to our night time environment: the
blackness that provides the enjoyment of the night so brightly lit by the heavens and void of
the urban sky glow that so many of us have tled the city to enjoy. Romantic yes. true. also
yes. Almost every manufacturer has a cut-off fixture that in fact will improve the distribution
of illumination on the ground, maximizing the safety. while still minimizing the lamp and sky
glow impacts of light pollution.
Degradation of our environment bit by bit is not acceptable. Our front yards as they are
respect the native environment and the peace of the Roaring Fork Valley; please help us keep
it as lovely as possible.
Very Truly yours.

Re: Lion's Ridge Estates
Dear Mr. Baldwin:
This is to acknowledge receipt of additional material concerning the
above referenced subdivision. The developer has obtained a decree for the
central well (case no. 79CW36) that will serve this subdivision. The decree
states that the well is to be an alternate point of diversion for 0.1 cfs (50 gpm)
of water owned or controlled by the Basalt Water Conservancy District.
The developer has petitioned the District for inclusion and also for use
of water. This petition has been granted. Although the petition does not
describe the land contained in this development plan, the District's attorney
has assured us that in granting the petition the District was aware of the loca-
tion of this subdivision. It is the intent of the District to include all domestic
wells in the Roaring Fork Valley under a decree for the Basalt Conduit (civil
action 4613) so as to protect domestic rights against future calls on the Roaring
Fork River.
Due to the new information, we feel a dependable water supply exists
and we recommend approval of the Lion's Ridge Estates.
