1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1 of 14
Woody Creek Distillers is requesting a modification of an existing Special Use Permit (SUP) to
permit for the storage of whiskey barrels to allow for aging of their distilled spirits. Specifically,
the site would only be used for storage and aging of the product with no retail, wholesale, or on-
site distillation. The site is located at 0566 County Road 113 (Cattle Creek Road).
A Regional Context Map is included as Exhibit 1, and a Vicinity Map is included as Exhibit 2. A
general business model of Woody Creek Distillers is included as Attachment A.
The property was purchased by Martin Michael LLC. Martin Michael LLC is wholly owned by
Mary Scanlan, the CEO of Woody Creek Distillers LLC. Martin Michael LLC provides the
property for the exclusive use of Woody Creek Distillers LLC as described in the SUP
amendment application.
2. EXISTING SPECIAL USE PERMIT
The current Special Use Permit in place for the property was approved by Resolution No.
2004-60 (Attachment B), and was subsequently amended to reflect a Scribner's error by
Resolution 2004-71 (Attachment C). The uses approved via these 2004 approvals was quite
specific, and the precise use language is as follows:
"Office, Plumbing, Material Storage and Warehouse, and Associated Vehicle Parking."
The applicant met with Planning Staff in June of 2015, and a Pre -Application Conference Memo
summarizing the requirements necessary to amend the existing SUP is included as Attachment
D. As summarized in the July, 09, 2015 memo from Glen Hartmann, Senior Planner and Tamra
Allen, Planning Manager, the proposed amendment was reviewed by the Director of Community
Development and the Planning Manager, in accordance with Section 4-106(C)(5). The proposal
was determined to be a substantial modification to the SUP due to an interpretation that the
intent of the applicant represented a "change" to the Permitted Use.
Section 4-106(B)(1)(b)(1) requires that the Director "shall determine the contents of the
application submission requirements for a Substantial Modification request and provide the
information in writing to the applicant", which can be found in Section V of Attachment D.
3. SITE DESCRIPTION
The parcel is located on the South side County Road 113 (Cattle Creek Road), approximately .5
miles east of State Highway 82, between Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. The property is
2.988 acres in size. The site includes the following improvements:
1. A single -story office/warehouse structure fronting Country Road 113;
2. A gravel parking lot adjacent to the building located at the northeast corner of the site;
3. Remnants of an existing structure located at the west -central portion of the site;
4. Additional gravel parking at the southern edge of the property; and
5. A existing permitted well, two (2) dry wells and a propane tank.
A current Improvement Survey is included as Exhibit 3. A Photo Inventory, including an index
map, is shown in Exhibit 4. The portion of the property currently disturbed is relatively flat, with
the southern portion of the site gradually sloping towards Cattle Creek. There is no excessive

topography on the site, and the applicant does not intend on any disturbance which would alter
the existing drainage patterns as a component of the project. The property is currently zoned
"Rural". Adjacent lands are zoned "Commercial/Limited" to the west, "Rural" to the South, and
"Public Lands" to the northeast of the parcel, north of County Road 113. A Existing Zoning Map
is included as Exhibit 5.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
The site has no significant topographic constraints, and the applicant is proposing no changes
to the existing contours to the site. The site is located outside of "Important Agricultural Lands".
The property does include a portion of the 100 -year floodplain, but the project is not proposing
any construction or use of this portion of the property consistent with the Garfield County
Floodplain Regulations. The relationship between the 100 Year Floodplain, digitized from the
most recent FEMA panels, is shown on Exhibit 3 (Improvement Survey and Site Plan).
The property is included within the Visual Corridor mapping by Garfield County. The applicant is
proposing no changes to the existing structure or parking locations currently on the site, and the
proposed use is consistent with the previous conditions of approval of the prior SUP permit. In
fact, the impacts associated with the requested use are significantly less than approved for the
property in 2004.
5. DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Woody Creek Distillers is a farm -to -bottle distillery based in the Roaring Fork Valley with a an
18,000 square foot production facility based in Basalt, Colorado. The current Basalt facility at
60 Sunset Drive is used for all distillation, production, and retail activities. This will continue
unabated. We have no desire to utilize the Cattle Creek facility for any retail, wholesale, or
distillation activities.
The operating model involves making Woody Creek Colorado 100% Potato Vodka annually
from September through November using potatoes that are grown locally. When the annual
vodka production is completed, the next nine months, December through August, the operation
shifts to producing whiskey made from Colorado sourced grains. This whiskey must then age at
least two years in 53 gallon American white oak barrels. These barrels are kept on racks and
allowed to age in a climate controlled facility, untouched until we determine that the quality has
reached a level where the product can be hand bottled and shipped to a distributor for resale.
Currently, the aging cycle is projected to be at least five years for whiskey, the oldest of which
was barreled three years ago.
Woody Creek Distillers are currently producing approximately 60 barrels a month and the
storage space for these barrels at our current facility is nearing capacity. It is the applicant's
desire to utilize the Cattle Creek facility to store barrels as they age, with the new facility being
specifically used for long-term aging of our whiskeys, some of which is intended to age for
fifteen years or more. Once the barrels are fully aged, the whiskey is hand bottled, cased, and
palletized for distribution. The bottling process is done manually by several staff members over
the course of a day using a hand bottler. Hand bottling of whiskey occurs approximately once
every thirty days and is completed during business hours. A brochure detailing the specific
storage plan for the site is included as Attachment E.

Any changes to fire protection or safety requ'rements based on the change in use;
Mark Kleckner, CFO/COO of Woody Creek Distillers contacted Bill Gavette, Deputy Chief and
Fire Marshal for the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District. The ensuing discussion was
used to inform the Fire Protection District of the plan of Woody Creek Distillers for utilization of
the existing facility for storage of whiskey barrels. Mr. Kleckner explained the requirement of
Garfield County to apply for modification of the existing SUP to clarify language in the SUP to
more accurately reflect the planned use by Woody Creek Distillers.
Mr. Gavette explained he had knowledge of the facility and was aware that it had fire sprinklers,
which should meet the requirements of the Fire Protection District as it relates to the described
use. Of course, Mr. Gavette will provide an official assessment and any required input when
provided the application by Garfield County.
J. Documentation and/or statements from qualified professionals that the current
water and wastewater systems are adequate to serve the proposed changes inthe
use;
The existing Well Permit (#258142, issued January 2004) is included as Attachment 1. The permit

Garfield County SUP Amendment
WOODYCREEK
• IDI S T L L E R S•

Septic Service. The findings of the inspection (included as Attachment J) can be summarized as
followings:
"The existing tank is a two (2) compartment, cement in construction, and shows no signs of
deterioration. T's were on both the inlet & outlet lines properly. It has 4 ft. of risers on both the inlet
and outlet sides and were in good condition. The leach field is approximately10 years old and
appears to be functioning normally."
K. In addition to the above the Applicant shall provide a general representation
regarding compliance with Article 7 Standards and identify if any standards are
affected by the proposed change in use.
Division 1 - General Provisions
7.101 Compliance with Underlying Zoning - The proposed land use change complies with
existing zoning for the "Rural" zone district, which allows for storage uses as a Special Use.
7-102 Consistency with Comprehensive Plan - The applicant has reviewed relevant sections
of the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan. It is difficult at best, and somewhat inappropriate
to attempt to review a project at the scale of the proposed SUP Amendment in the context of a
County Wide Comprehensive Plan. With that said, the following snapshots illustrate the
relationship between the project's location and the Comprehensive Land Use Map adopted
2013 and amended in 2015. The Cattle Creek Corridor is identified as a Rural Employment
Center representative of the land use patterns that have emerged tin he area of County Road
113 and State Highway 82 since the 1980's. The parcel is smaller than the 10+ acre lot size
envisioned in the plan, but the parcel is pre-existing, and the impacts associated with the
requested amendment are in fact less (traffic, water consumption, new construction impacts,
etc) than if the parcel transitioned into residential uses.

7-103 Compatibility with Adjacent Land Uses - Adjacent land uses include light industrial
and strorage uses, many of which occur outside of existing structures (see Exhibit 2). The
proposed uses associated with the SUP are consistent and compatible with these uses, and will
occur within the structure of the building and not visible from adjacent uses or the CR 113
corridor.
7-104 Source of Water - The applicant has a commercial use well that has an existing permit
(see Attachment I). Water uses for the project are isolated to waste disposal and fire protection.
7-105 - Wastewater System - The property currently utilizes a ISDS system that has been
inspected (see Attachment J), is fully functional and can easily handle the expected load
produced by the propose use. The parcel is over three (3) acres in size, and current regulations
allow for the system on the site. Table 7-105 and the compliance of the project is shown below.

7-106 - Public Utilities - The property is currently served by electrical service which is
adequate for the proposed use.
7-107 - Access and Roadways - The project will utilize an existing road cut onto County Road
113 that has been in place for at least 10 years. Internal access will remain unchanged.
7-108 - Use of Land subject to Natural Hazards - A review if available mapping that the site
is not encumbered by Natural and Geologic Hazards. The presence of the 100 year floodplain
is mitigated by the applicant's intent to not utilize this portion of the property for any structures
now or in the future.
7 - 109 - Fire Protection - Mark Kleckner, CFO/COO of Woody Creek Distillers contacted Bill
Gavette, Deputy Chief and Fire Marshal for the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District.
The ensuing discussion was used to inform the Fire Protection District of the plan of Woody
Creek Distillers for utilization of the existing facility for storage of whiskey barrels. Mr. Kleckner
explained the requirement of Garfield County to apply for modification of the existing SUP to
clarify language in the SUP to more accurately reflect the planned use by Woody Creek

Distillers. Mr. Gavette explained he had knowledge of the facility and was aware that it had fire
sprinklers, which should meet the requirements of the Fire Protection District as it relates to the
described use. Of course, Mr. Gavette will provide an official assessment and any required
input when provided the application by Garfield County.
7 - 201 - Agricultural Lands - The property is not used for agricultural uses, and the adjacent
properties are used for commercial/light industrial purposes. the project will have not adverse
impacts on agriculture in the immediate area.
7 - 202 - Wildlife Habitat - The property is not located with important wildlife habitat. No
changes are proposed for the property, and the applicant does not intend to construct any
fencing that would disrupt the movement of wildlife using the Cattle Creek corridor.
7-203 - Protection of Waterbodies - The site currently is consistent with the 35 foot setback
requirement. No hazardous materials will be stored within 100 feet of Typical and Ordinary High
Water Mark (TOHWM).
7-204 - Drainage and Erosion - The applicant is proposing no modification to the current
drainage on the site.
7 - 205 - Environmental Quality - The proposed use will not have any significant impact of air
or water quality. The proposed use represents a reduction in allowed trips to the site when
compared to the prior SUP approvals.
7 - 206 - Wildfire Hazards - The site does not include significant vegetation, and the area
surrounding the existing structure is void of significant fire fuel sources.
7 - 207 - Natural and Geologic Hazards - The project is not located in an area with natural
and/or geologic hazards. No physical modification of the site is proposed that would increase
the risk associated with the hazards.
7- 301 Compatible Design - The existing building was constructed consistent with the prior
SUP No changes are proposed that would impact these conditions.
7-302 Off -Street Parking and Loading Standards - Due to the significant reduction of parking
requirements associated with the prior use, available parking and loading areas far exceed the
needs associated with the proposed use.
7 - 303 Landscaping Standards - No changes to the existing landscaping, which is consistent
with the prior approval, is proposed.
7-304 Lighting Standards - The prior approval included the following condition: "Only one light
willbeinstalled at the entranceofthestructureforsafetypurposes. This light shall be directed
downward and inward." The structure is fully compliant with this condition. No additional
lighting is necessary for the proposed storage uses.
7-305 Snow Storage Standards - The existing parking areas on the site far exceed the
requirements contained within the Code.

CONFERENCE SUMMARY
MEW
TAX PARCEL NUMBER: 2393-172-00-221
PROJECT: Woody Creek Distillers Storage
OWNER: Woody Creek Distillers
REPRESENTATIVE: Mark Kleckner, Woody Creek Distillers
PRACTICAL LOCATION: 0566 County Road 113, Carbondale, CO 81623
TYPE OF APPLICATION: Amendment to a Special Use Permit
DATE: 7/9/15
I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Applicant is requesting to modify the use permitted by the existing Special Use Permit on
the site to allow storage of whiskey barrels for aging. The proposed Cattle Creek facility
would only be utilized for storage and aging with no retail, wholesale, or distillation
activities.
The current Special Use Permit approved by Resolution No. 2004-60 was very specific in
its permitted use of "Office, Plumbing Material Storage and Warehouse, and Associated
Vehicle Parking". The resolution was subsequently amended by Resolution No. 2004-71 to
correct a Scribner's error, however, the conditions of approval still in effect for the Special
Use Permit are those outlined in Resolution No. 2004-60.
The exact language for the proposed change to the permitted use is stili being considered
by the Applicant. Options for broader "Storage Uses" may raise additional questions
including traffic impacts. Staff anticipates that a limited scope for the use consistent with
the original Special Use Permit may be appropriate for the site.
No other changes to the existing conditions of approval for the Special Use Permit are
needed or anticipated to be requested by the Applicant. As proposed the use will have
minimal traffic generation and only occasional staffing at the site. A narrative description of
the use will be appropriate as part of the submittal to document operational issues including
hours of operation, traffic generation, type of truck access/deliveries, prohibition on retail
sales, and similar topics. Documentation that infrastructure including water, sanitation and
fire protection are adequate should also be provided. No significant changes to the facility
including the structure and site plan have been identified at this time.
II. REGULATORY PROVISIONS APPLICANT IS REQUIRED TO ADDRESS
The Applicant shall be required to address applicable provisions of the Garfield County
Land Use and Development Code, as amended (LUDC) outlined as below:
• Section 4-106: Amendments to an Approved Land Use Change Permit

• Section 4-101: Common Review Procedures (noticing information)
• Table 4-203 and Section 4-203: Application Submittal Requirements
• Applicable Section of Article 7, Standards.
The Applicant's proposal has been reviewed with the Director of the Community
Development Department and the Planning Manager. In accordance with Section 4-
106(C)(5) the Applicant's proposal has been determined to be a substantial modification to
the Special Use Permit as it proposes to change the Permitted Use.
