lExternall Ascendigo proposal
To Whom lt May Concern-
I moved to Missouri Heights, a year ago, after 50 years in Aspen. I truly love the rural, quiet feeling that makes this
neighborhood so special. While I 1"00% support the mission of Ascendigo, l'm very concerned about having it's campus up
here. ( I live on Green Meadow Road, which is across Fender, from Harmony Lane')
1: There are serious water concerns here, which have only been exacerbated by the ongoing drought, and a year round
camp, with a pond(!!), hay fields, and all the demands of a full service residential facility for around 100 'guests', is much more
than the 13 homes that this property has been zoned for, would use. lt's much more than our stressed water table can bear.
2: Traffic. Ascendigo has said that there would be 450 vehicle trips per day, on peak days. I think that they've since reduced
that to 250+. Either way would tax these rural roads beyond bearing, not to mention adding to the bottle neck that already
exists, at some times of day, at the ElJebel light. I didn't live here during the Lake Christine fire, but my neighbors have told
me that evacuating took hours, due to the limited road capacity, horse trailers, etc. This is a fire prone area. I was here for the
Grizzly Creek fire last summer, and it was alarming. The number of occupants of th¡s camp, if a fire should hit, would only
make this much more dangerous.
3: l'm very concerned about the precedent that this development would create. lf it is allowed, will that open the flood
gates for more commercial developments up here? That frankly terrifies me, for all the above reasons, and because I love
the peace, and quiet, and dark nights, of my new home.
4: 13 homes would pay taxes. Ascendigo is a non profit, and as such has applied for an exemption from property taxes-or
at least has applied for this exemption. This is quite a loss of revenue for Garfield County.
I am certain that Ascendigo would be better served by a property on the valley floor, out of the wind, with easy access to
water, emergency services, and evacuation routes. This is a great program, and I do hope that they find such a property.
Missouri Heights just isn't it.
Thank you-
Deborah Bradford

IExternal] AscendigoSubject:
Dear Mr. Hartmann,
I am a resident in Missouri Heights and a parent of a child with autism. I deeply respect and support
Ascendigo's mission, however, I am incredibly concerned over the Ascendigo land-use change application in
MissouriHeights! This is being pushed through with vague language around restrictions for use and little
recourse for expansion plans, and extended use. The recreational pond, activity fields, catered events, rotating
season staff, and traffic are just a few items out a long list that will forever change this area. This arid/ desert-
like area simply cannot handle the high-intensþ use that Ascendigo is proposing. The fire danger and drought
conditions *è ¡¿"ry real and frightening for us. We already feel as though we are sitting on a tinderbox during
the dry months. This commercial proposal is dangerous and incompatible with our rural family residential
neighborhood.
I am also concerned that Dan Richardson is both chief operating officer at Ascendigo and mayor of
Carbondale. While it may not be a direct violation of conflict of interest law, there is an ethical concern. Dan
should recuse himself and the town of Carbondale from submitting comments? This proposal will not only
jeopardize our neighborhood, but it will also jeopardize the faith in the Garfield govemment and politics.
Do not permit this change of land use!
Thank you for your time.

lExternall Ascendigo Should Find a Safer Location
Dear County Officials,
I am writing to ask you to oppose the Ascendigo proposal to locate a facility in Missouri Heights'
I am not opposed to providing support for vulnerable children. I have spent my legal career doing legal work and
volunteeradvocacyforthe unmet legalneedsof children in lllinois. Myconcern isthatthe location in Missouri Heights
is risky and inappropriate for the proposed facility. The facts supporting this view are substantial and unequivocal:
Drought and Wildfire Danger:
As the western united states has been declared a drought crisis area, those of us in Missouri Heights know that our area
is particularly dangerous. The two most recent wildifires (Lake Christine and Grizzly Creek) literally surround our
area. We were evacuated. With all of the public events that Ascendigo proposes with hundreds of people, it is simply
defying the odds of a catastrophic fire.
Existing Water Shortage:
I am aware that Ascendigo has produced a report suggesting this is not an issue, but I can tell you our home was without
water for four days not more than a few months ago. Summer heat, wind and dryness creates an already dangerous
situation up here, and it can be frightening. with the number of people Ascendigo is planning on having on site every
day, our water supply will be threatened just by everyday act¡vities, like flushing toilets.
lnsufficient Roads:
Our roads are dirt, climb elevation and have sharp turns. Hundreds of cars willoverwhelm the limited road system up
here. Emergency response will be negatively impacted, unnecessarily compromising the safety and welfare of Ascendigo
children and staff.
Violates Master Plan:
The proposal is not consistent with the Garfield county Master Plan'
Violates Current and Future Standards:
The proposal does not meet the current standards established by the county, nor the future visions for the county.
other Better Safer Sites Exist:
There are more appropriate sites for the proposed facility throughout the valley. There is land close to Crown Mountain
park,forexample. Therewouldbeaccesstoawonderfulpublicrecreationarea;itisclosetoRoute32forsafeand
I
efficient travel to the other recreational and educational facilities in the valley; there would be much more efficient
access for emergency vehicles-for fire protection and ambulances.
Nothing about the proposed location offers anything special, like access to hiking trails or water features. Those things
will have to be built or the children will have to be transported to cnjoy elsewhere. These facts underscore the practical
reality that Ascendigo doesn't need to be built on the site in Missouri Heights. lt can and should be sited where the
facility does not increase already existing risks. Another location can and should be safer for the Ascendigo community
and for Missouri Heights.
The Proposal Presents unreasonable Risk to Ascendigo and Missouri Heights:
The bottom line is that the proposed location places my family and my neighbors at higher risk than already exist. lt is
equally dangerous for the Ascendigo community.
No one wants to see a program ostensibly designed to enhance the lives of already vulnerable children place these
children at risk. Unfortunately, the reality and the science align to make that exactly what this proposal is doing.
lf the Ascendigo proponents are suggest¡ng that they have all the answers to eliminate these present and continuing
dangers, I would urge you to question how that can be so. Denying facts is fashionable right now, but is totally
¡nconsistent with the mission of Ascendigo.
I respectfully request that you deny the application by Ascendigo.
Thank you for your conslderation and for your service on our behalf.

Dear Garfield County Commissioners:
I am writing to ask you to deny the Ascendigo Autism Services, lnc., Land Use Change
application for the proposed Camp in Missouri Heights.
Although this property is located in Garfield County, Eagle County and Eagle County residents
will bear the brunt of the adverse consequences from the proposed use. The property in
question borders on Eagle County at Harmony Lane and Fender Road...essential ingress and
egress from the site. Three critical impacts deserve your special attention-traffic, road use and
water ( as well as fire risk and safety).
As you may know this site is accessible from Route 82via only 2 roads - Catherine Store Road
and El Jebel Road. From increased traffic and road use, to fire and health emergencies, and
maintenance of road infrastructure, this project brings significant increased activity and vehicles.
The main access via El Jebel Road, Upper Cattle Creek Road and Fender Lane is
approximately 3.9 miles and takes 10 minutes at posted speed limits on a clear dry road.
Access using the narrow, winding, hair pin turns on Catherine Store Road, Missouri Heights
Road and then Fender Lane is 5.1 miles from Rt 82 and takes 12 minutes of travel. The
applicant's own traffic report says there will be an increase of 210 motor vehicle movements to
and from the site per day. This is not simply a Garfield County matter. The consequences will be
deeply felt in Eagle County and the residents of Missouri Heights as well as those residing in
Garfield County part of Missouri Heights.
The potential impact on the wellwater supply system in Missouri Heights from this intense use (
as many as 100 campers, staff and guests at one time) is obvious, and the predicted drought
conditions likely to exacerbate the problem. The current subdivision for homes ( with are fully
provided with utilities) would be developed over time, result less intense impact, is much more
compatible with the location.
While Ascendogo has characterized the operation as an "educational enterprise" in order to
achieve "limited impact review" under Garfield County Code, it is in reality a commercial
enterprise, generating $2 million of service revenue with more recreation than education
activities.
While I support Ascendigo's work and their mission, building a year-round outdoor intensive
recreational commercial facility it in this specific location is not appropriate.
I respectfully ask that you consider the impact on Eagle County and on Eagle County residents
and property as well as Garfield County property and residents and encourage the you to reject
the application.
Respectfully,
AlVilliam Niro/

The interst¿te was closed for twoweeks, and the fire jumped the ColoradoRiver and endqd up burning 92,691 acresbefore becoming fully contained on Dec.f8.

My name is Andy Adams and I not only work for Ascendigo, but also live in the Missouri He¡ghts area.
Thank you for your time and t, along with my fellow Ascendigo colleagues wish you all the best in this
very tough decision-making process.
5 years ago, I met the Director of Adventures, Mathew McCabe at music event in Glenwood Springs and
his excitement and enthus¡asm for his work had me hooked right away. I learned more about Ascendigo
by scouring the website, more visits with Mathew and then a day to volunteer was offered, I was so
excited and nervous that I could hardly sleep. I had been brought up in a family where a life through
service was preached daily. I had volunteered for many non-profits, however Ascendigo had a different
feel. lt was not just doing stuff with individuals with Autism, it was a chance to connect, share and grow.
Within a year I was not only volunteering with the horse program, but I was accepted as a member of
the Ascendigo Ski Buddy Program, this is no small feat as the waiting list is long and once you are in, you
really do not want to give up your spot. I have now just finished my 4'h season as a Ski Buddy and will
likely do another. I have skied with the same young man each of the four years and we have formed a
bond. We get each other, know our limits, and set our goals to move forward together. I have watched
this amazing human go from struggling with his skis and boots to now challenging me to races as we
shoot down Buttermilk. There are few words to describe what this kid has brought to my life, heart, and
soul. I am a different man.
September ZOL} lwas ready and able to make a change in my career, I was able to make a choice and
try a new direction. I reached out to Mathew McCabe and asked him what opportunities were available
at Ascendigo full time. He said he would check and sure enough I had an interview within 3 days. once
again, no sleep, excitement and butterflies filled my stomach. I walked out of the interview and looked
up into the heavens and asked my guardian angels to not let me down, I wanted this job, lwanted this
challenge, I was ready to evolve. one more interview and boom, I was on full time and headed for what
has become one of biggest opportunities for growth I have ever been presented w¡th along with being a
dad to two amazing kids.
lf I were to labelevery life changing moment I have been presented with, there would be too many
pages. I will simply let you all know that my life has shifted into a realm that I not only am able to see
the world in a different way and most importantly I have learned to see myself from angles that I did not
know existed, but the Andy that I thought I had figured out and knew so well was morphing, growing
and was a person I was so very proud to become.
The magic of Ascendigo is ingrained within our core values. Heart, Mind and Voice. I had no idea that I
was living and promoting these in all parts of my life daily without even trying. There is not a day that I
am not guided by my heart in my mission to elevate the individuals, that I am so lucky to be with, to new
levels in their own lives. Expanding my own mind to better connect with those of those I am with daily.
To use my voice to not only advocate for my part¡c¡pants and encourage them to use their own, but to,
for the first time, finally use my voice for me. To carry the confidence that my voice has the full and true
backing of a heart and mind that have been strengthened and enlightened by my time at Ascendigo'
I was recently introduced to a quote by Beau Taplin that says, "We are all so desperate to be
understood, but we forget to be understanding". With that quote right there, fresh as can be, please let
us all "Understand" that yes, we all have our stances on WhiteCloud and Ascendigo's plans to make a
permanent home for the summer camp we have been running for 16 years. The search for the perfect
home has gone on for L2 years and these 126 acres of land is that "Perfect home". lt is an opportunity
for all of us to grow, to team up and to form yet another community within this amazing valley we have
all chosen to be our home. I invite you all to look at this projcct we have laid out for you all not as a
hinderance, yet a place where we all can gather our hearts and minds to use a collective voice that will
not only help those that benefit so greatly from Ascendigo's mission, but to grow within ourselves. We
can show the valley and beyond that to Elevate the Spectrum is not just for those with Autism, but for us
as well.
Thank you for your time,
Andy Adams

Phone Number: (970) 319-8625
Message: Ascendigo is a well-respected, non-profit organization in the Roaring Fork Valley. The
autistic children they provide services for, and their selfless staff deserve a place to call home.
Unfortunately, their vision for Ascendigo Ranch in Missouri Heights is simply not compatible with
the current zoning regulations and the limited natural resources in the area. For most people,
I
t4{
EXHIB¡T
their investment in their home is among the largest that they will make, and, therefore, knowing
with a high degree of certainty what types of land uses could be imposed in their neighborhood
is critical to sound decision-making. A requirement for compatibility of land use assures
landowners that the risk of adverse effects due to future development is minimal. Requiring
compatibility is a way to offer predictability to landowners about the future land development in
their neighborhood.
Ascendigo Ranch has filed a 700+ page, convoluted and constantly revised, "limited impact"
review application. Which, as a busy county commissioner, you cannot possibly be expected to
read in its entirety. But, according to the exhibits filed with this application, their idea of "limited
impact" includes almost 50,000 sq.ft. of new structure, including a 14,000 sq.ft, Activity Center.
lf you look at nothing else, please read the traffic study, pg. 60-65. For an idea of the scope of
this operation. Their peak months of operation will consist of more than 100 people daily, on
site. There will be numerous vehicles coming and going throughout the day, at least tripling the
local traffic volume. Plans also include almost 100 parking spaces. The camp will have multiple
daily deliveries, seryice workers, landscape, maintenance, equestrian caretakers, Camper day
trips, Local Camper drop-offs and pick-ups etc. Also proposed is a 1-2-acre pond for aquatic
activities. While other neighbors are letting their flowers die due to drought conditions in
Missouri Heights, Ascendigo will be paddle boarding next door. They have also committed to
offering year-round programming and have reserved the right to offer the property to outside
organization for other uses as they see fit. And, to quote Dan Richardson, COO of Ascendigo,
"This is Phase 1 of the operation" Will you be around to monitor the growth and expansion of
Phase 2,3, or 4?
This type of heavy commercial use is NOT compatible with the rural residential zoning of
Missouri Heights, as outlined in Garfield County's comprehensive growth plan. Ascendigo is an
admirable organization, but we must say NO to Ascendigo in Missouri Heights. Please do the
right thing for Garfield County and its rural character.

Re: Ascendigo Application to Garfield County
Dear Mr. Hartmann:
My husband and I live in Eagle County within a mile of the proposed Ascendigo project
that is before Galfield County. 'We have been residents in Missouri Heights for 5 years and
enjoy the quiet, rural neighborhood. This letter is to request that you oppose the Ascendigo's
proposal.
Although the Ascendigo's project is in Garfield County, it will impact Eagle County
residents with it's proposed increase in traffìc, noise, light pollution, fire and water concerns
along with potential of reducing property values since it is on the County line.
In regards to increased traffrc, the original proposal submitted by Ascendigo mentioned
450 cars then was reduced to 25A cars along with emergency vehicles. Even though Google
Maps gives directions to the proposed site via Fender/County Road 102 to Hatmony Lane - how
many people will drive over Paseo to Sunset (a pdvate road) to Harmony? And, how rnany of
those people will be new to the area and not respect the danger of wildlife on the roads fi'om
Highway 82 to the site?
Colorado has increased drought over the years affecting potential wildfires. How will a
single road access to Ascendigo's site be condusive to evacuating the large number of people
proposed? Ascendigo has stated they will have up to 150 people at one time.
In reading a letter to the editor in the Aspen Times from the Board of Ascendigo last
weeko I noted that few of the Board Members actually live in Missouri Heights. I wonder if any
of them were evacuated during the Lake Christine fire in 2018? If they were evacuated,
memories of congestion on Fendery'County Road 102 will be recalled along with the stress frorn
not knowing when we could return along with the impact of smoke. If a flue wete to happen in
the area of the Ascendigo site in the future, I believe both Garfield and Eagle Counties resources
would be utilized.

I haven't reviewed Ascendigo's reports regarding water but I wonder how it will affect
out'aquifcr. And, if thosc repofis adequately address how their water requirements will affect
the sun:ounding neighbors,
Ascendigo algues that the proposed site was approved (20 years ago) for 13 home sites
and their project will have less impact. The subdivision has not had one home developed on it to
date. We believe the development will have a much larger impact without any tax benefit to
Garfielcl County to generate funds to support an inappropriate use in a rural, residential
neighborhood. Why should Eagle County residents be negatively impacted by an inappropriate
use itr aresitlential rural area? Ancl our tax dollars being utilized fbr the maintenance of loads
due to increased traffic from a project of this magnitude.
I was not able to locate anywhere in Ascendigo's application a restliction to fuither
exparsit-rn ur accountability.
In our opinion, Ascendigo's planned project is admirable but the location at White Cloud
is inappropriate and urge the Garfield County Community Development to deny their
application.
Tharik you for your time and oonsideration.

what,s possibly \ilorse is the flippant atti$de that Ascendigo expresses with regard to the safety of both
its client, staffand ;ig;b"*. îi int"grut part of their frre suppression plan is that they would use
irrigation water to flooä the fìelds (such as they don't exist) to suppress possible fire from whatever
source (quite often a lightning stike to the iminediate wesi of thJ property). This year there is one week
of irrigation *ut". *i-iãh *uíi't g*l to the fire suppression ptan. When the fact that only one week of
ditch water was available, Dan said "we get wnat "iäryon"
else gets"' No thought that Ascendigo has a
higher duty to protecithe'lSQ+ people on site every dãy in the summer in a difficult one road out
evacuation exit. Their fire suppression "rr"ntiullyivaporated,
along wilh the absurd recreation lake' but
there is no connection that this may not be a one-time ocourrence and "flooding the fields" is hardly a
safety strategy. A, ,r"¡, ift" propðsed deu"lopment violates the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan

n7
Although the issues åre llìa¡ry with this application, I willltmit myself to two: If the Commission
aqproves this application as an "Educational Facility", it is failing the first nlle of legal construction that
of giving plain meaning to the language as written. The entire defïnition is one sentãnce and neither the
words "either" or "or" app€ar in the sentence and the word'oâssociated" cannot be dissected from the
remainder of the sentence. It is not an Educational Facility and does not comply with LUDC Definiti6ns.
Yotr honestly need to think what tho implioations aro if this is an'o[ducational Facility". Every hutel antl
event oenter is an Fducational Facility or training cer¡ter if it holds sominars and teoches entry Lmployees
how to clean rooms. Welcome to the rush of commercial development in Missouri Heights ãnd the
devaluation of Residential properiy. violation of LUDC Article i5, definitions.
L$tly, the Ascendigo Ranch application is rife with significant enors and purposeful mis-statements all
of which fall in its favor. They obviousþ can't count. Pages 60-65 of the traffic study provide the raw
numbers, incorrectly summarized in the øble found on page29 of the Limited Impactnarrative. It's
prctty obvious that the narrative fails to account for the cooks, adrninistrative staff, equestrian workers,
animal çaretakers, maintsnnnce personncl oto, because there is no way that a totnl of B0 peoplc ¿rc on site
w1lel the crimpers and direct care staff comprise 72 people. If you aotually take the time to count and find
all ofthe yariou¡ categories ofpeople, the number ofpeople on site tvfondây through Saturday ¡uring

people on g_1u"tu9-"_day and 100 on 24 peak days. If there are 100 peóple minimum, eíery day than that
iÈ at leust 56 ",q9ak" days in the summer alone. Why is this important? Éor safety, number äf aðtiu"ry
trucks, for traffïc for noise, trash, water. No one time oategory is correctly accoúnæd for. So, who cares
about 20 people over 56 days? It's only 1,120 more peoplé on site. The òoncentration ofpeople on site is
not compatible with the scattered, less densely populated homes that surround the proposed dåvelopment.
Once again, a violation of LUDC 7-103.
Qrre more_example of rnis-statements. In order to show that the Ascendigo Ranch has ,.less impact, than
what wuultl ltave been huilt in its steâd (single family residential), they hãve come up with the iotal
number of homes as 2l cr 23 plus ADUs , yct if Ascendigo, as owner, walked into the Building
Deparhnent today and asked to pull the maximum number of housing permits possible, the nuriber would
be 13, plus two ADUs for the White Cloud Ridge Subdivision, and fhomes, pius, 2 AbUs for the
remaìning ac¡eage. Ascendigo's entire application, whether it be water, or ft;ffic or impact is built on a
misrepresentation and they don't care. They have said it makes no difïerence to them if they use¡
inconect numbers and therefore, nothing they say should make any difference to you. It is nothing but
misrepresentation. Once again, a violation of LUDC 7-103.
I truly hope that you e4joyed my letter because I was a County Attorney and this Land Use Application
has the worst (or best) of "mis-statements" that I have had the dis-pleazure to review. This is a serious
lalt€r tryt affects many residents. It does not affect the lives of Ascendigo management, just the
businoss interests that do not belong in Missouri Heights. Who benefited-from this nunsaıtion? Another
question.

Message: Please say "No" to Ascendigo
The Ascendigo company has proposed a park-like commercial development (LIPA-O1-21-8826) in eastern
Missouri Heights. While this is a worthwhile cause, this development is inappropriate in a residential
neighborhood, defies existing land use codes and will overburden the limited and stressed supply of water
Please use your influence to vote "No" on this water-intensive development.
The Garfield County Land Use Code 7-104 states "all applications for Land Use Change Permits shall have an
adequate, reliable, physical, long- term, and legal water supply". The Ascendigo proposal is in direct violation
of this Land Use Code. Eastern Missouri Heights does not have the bountiful access of the Roaring Fork River,
but instead relies upon aquifer recharge from rain and nearby snow pack. Water wells tap the underlying basalt
rock reservoir. Wells in this high desert area have been running dry in recent years.
The Ascendigo Engineering Report has incorrectly estimated the amount of water available from their two wells
(Levitt Wells #2 ). Unfortunately their wells are only 50 feet apart - similar to putting two straws in one cup.
The amount of water available will not be double and instead, will drain an already stressed aquifer.
Not only is the proposed Ascendigo development is in violation of the Garfield County Land Use Code 7-104, il
is also in violation of the following items in the Garfield County Comprehensive Plan: Page 49, Section 7
Water, Section 7.3, Section7.5, Page 50, Policy 1-ii, Page 52, Policy 5, Policy 5 vi. All of these references
require adequate long-term water for development approval. Creating a park-like development in this arid
region (NRCS classification of "High Desert") is irresponsible.
lf your goal is to protect and conserve water resources, please deny this water-intensive development. This
commercial development is inappropriate in a residential neighborhood, defies existing land use codes and will
overburden the limited supply of water. The Ascendigo development would be more appropriately sited in a
nonresidential area with a plentiful water source (near the valley floor).:.*r.:

Garfield County Commissioners
Re: Proposed Development of White Cloud / Harmony Heights Ranch; permit applications PLVA-01-
21-8827 & LIPA 01-21-8826
Please consider denying these applications. Referring to the Garfield County Land Use Code,
section 7 (Compatibility), the nature, scale, and intensity of the proposed development and use of this
project is NOT compatible with adjacent land use (disbursed residences). (Section 7-103)
I attended a site tour of the proposed development on April 27,2021. Throughout Missouri Heights,
and within view of the proposed camp, are family homes, and small ranchette properties. Nowhere in
the immediate area, or elsewhere in rural residential Missouri Heights is there any residence or land
use that is remotely similar to what has been proposed for this development. White Cloud/Harmony
Heights Ranch is not compatible with the existing character of adjacent uses (residential homes). GC
Land Use Code, section 7-301.
The operational characteristics of the proposed development are NOT compatible and would be a
nuisance to the area in general. According to Ascendigo's operations plan, cooks and staff would
begin arriving by 6:00 A.M., more staff arriving between 7:00-8:00 4.M., cooks departing at 9:00 AM;
vans and shuttles departing and arriving throughout the day; more cooks arriving at 3:00 P.M., cooks
and staff departing in the afternoon, evening and at night. An operations deployment of this
magnitude is commercial in nature and required to support a large-scale summer camp. lt is NOT
compatible with normal residential activities in the area. (Who of us in Missouri Heights has multiple
teams of cooks, staff, and shuttles coming and going from our home from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM
daily?).
I have lived in Missouri Heights for a little over 10 years. Approval of this development will irrevocably
change the rural residential character of the area and will negatively impact those of us who currently
live here. Please deny this application.

room for 76/deck 25 and lodging for 100 staff and guests)
PossiblY comPlY?
b. The proposal includes 50,000 sq ft of buildings plus
barns and maintenance buildings. None of this is
compatible, in size, use or scale with the single
family/rural residential designation of the area'
c. This is a single family rural residential neighborhood - the
traffic implications are immense given the facility's
proposed year-round use adding to population density.
d. The design of the Garfield county comprehensive Plan
2O3O is clear and something we value and support. The
proposed change in land use DOES NOT "preserve rural
land and character and encourage more intense
development in towns and already developed commercial
areas that have adequate established infrastructure"
2. LUDC 7-104 - The use of water fails to address current water issues
a. ln the last three year there have been increased issues
with water pressure, sediment, and dry wells in the
Missouri Heights area'
b. The proposed pond and dense population would
negatively impact available resourceE which are already
scarce.
c. Not only would the water demands created by a land use
change be inadequate, it wor.lld negatively impact
adjacent properties that utilize the same aquifer system.
d. The Roaring Fork Valley has been experiencing drought
conditions for a number of years now and this trend will
continue to worsen with climate change.
3. LUDC 7 107 - A waiver from Garfield county Road standards appears
to be an inadequate proposal given the condition of the road and traffic
implication of the application. As past residents who used this road, we
can attest that the changes proposed would not be sufficient.
4. MOST IMORTANTLY - We believe a land use change by Ascendigo
Holdings would eventually lead to catastrophic loss to residents of
Missouri Heights, caused by fire. Loss of life and loss of property are
unacceptable consequences of a land use change that is not
warranted.a. Lake Christine Fire water pressure was inadequate to
fight the fire. This commercial property will add
tremendous strain on already compromised fire mitigation
and evacuation plans.
b. Evacuation will not be possible if the source of the fire
occurs at Ascendigo or the adjacent properties. 100
people simply can't outrun a fire if they are the source of
the fire and there are limited vehicles to evacuate etc.c. Lastly, while we have the utmost respect for the Autism
community and applaud the efforts ouilined in their plan
this "High Risk Fire" property does not appear to be the
best place for an autism camp/retreat. There would
appear to be significant safety concerns specifically in
regards to fire.
d. Please read these research studies on Autism found on
the National lnstitute of Health website. Of particular
concern are the high incidence of comorbidity with ADHD
(37-85o/o) which explains issues with impulse control.
This also include findíngs on pyromania and ASD which
is of concern.

[External] Ascendigo Ranch - Missouri Heights
Mr.Hartman-MynameisBarryRosenbergandlamanactivesupporteroftheAscendigoRanchproject. Aslreadthe
local papers there seems to be a fair amount of mis-information. This is not a Commercial Development rather a
thoughtfully planned non-profit educational and therapy center for people with Special Needs (primarily kids with
Autism). My son is an 8 year old boy with Down Syndrome - the Ascendigo Camp and educational programs have been
life-changing for him and my family (not sure how you call that a commercial business ?). We are all pretending the
neighbors are upset about density and commercialization of this neighborhood. The proposal from Ascendigo is to
phase in 6 buildings over multiple years to ultimately build 42,000 sqft on a 126 acre site (this is less dense, less traffic,
andlesswaterusagethan2Lsinglefamilyhomes). Thisisnotcommercialization,itisRacism. ltisclearthatnoneofthe
neighbors have a child or close family member with special needs (otherwise, we would not be having any opposition to
this project). This is racism against people with special needs. People who might be different than a "typical person"
and it frightens some people. What will "these" people do to our community ? I know the neighbors are saying it is not
about Racism, but calling a program that educates people with special needs a commercial business is called what then ?
(there current ad says it all - "say no to Ascendigo business development"). This is what we have come to as a
community ? We are better than this.
I know that Ascendigo has made many changes to the original plan as they try to accommodate some of the valid
concerns of the neighbors. None of Ascendigo's changes will be able to address racism. I hope that the Garfield County
Commissioners can clearly see thru the comments made by a bunch of Eagle County neighbors. This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity to bring such a world class program to our region. I appreciate your time -

Subject: Ascendigo Ranch Concerns
Name: Ryan Dougherty
Email : Rjdou g herty3435@yahoo. com
Phone Number:
Message: My wife and I own property property at the corner of Fender Ln, and Elk Range Rd. Our driveway
touches Fender Lane. Based on our review of Ascendigo's pending application, we have several concerns
about its impacts on Missouri Heights and our individual day{o-day lives.
First, according to the traffic report, Fender Lane traffic will be significantly increased. We have three young
children (4, 3, and 10mos) who enjoy regularly playing in our front yard that boundaries Fender Lane. While we
understand that Fender Lane is a main thoroughfare of Missouri Heights, the regular traffic is mainly comprised
of Missouri Heights residents commuting to and from work/school. lf the Ascendigo project is approved, the
daily traffic utilizing Fender Lane will significantly increase--We could not find anything directly on point in the
report, but adding all increased traffic to the roads that branch from Fender Lane, the traffic will double. This
not only takes away from the natural rural atmosphere of Missouri Heights that we bought into, but it will put my
home and family in jeopardy of vehicular crashes from sliding off the road and onto my property during the
winter months. We will be forced to make our children play in the back yard and be deprived the right to enjoy
nearly half of our property. These roads can already get congested during traffic hours from vehicles and
cyclists utilizing the roads, and it will be down right dangerous if the traffic significantly increases. This
increased traffic will also decrease the value of our home because my property will now be located on a county
road that services the uses that equate to the standards of a highway.
Second, all it takes is one drive through Missouri Heights and every person that visits will conclude that this is
a very quiet rural setting-which is precisely why its inhabitants decided to invest in property in the area.
Allowing a commercial property disguised as an "educational day camp" to operate there will completely
change the foundation of the lifestyle and atmosphere that has existed in Missouri Heights for over a century. A
day camp, with hundreds of visitors and dozens of staff operating every day--year round-will unquestionably
change the fabric and rural landscape of Missouri Heights. From our house we will be impacted by increased
traffic, vehicle noise, camp noises, and depreciation in property value. While we have little children, we did not
move to Missouri Heights to live close to a noisy camp ground.
Third, fire danger and water usage are a real concern in Missouri Heights. Over the last 3 years, there have
been raging forest fires on either side (Grizzly Creek and Basalt Mountain). lf Missouri Heights is forced to
evacuate, again, its reasonable to believe that the process will be slowed because of the significant increase in
visitors and staff at the camp. I can't image what that scenario would be like and do not want to. Missouri
Heights residents, however, are all at risk and Garfield County would putting these children at risk by approving
this camp as well.
We have not met a single Missouri Heights property owner that is in favor of the project. The only individuals

that support it are those that won't be affected. Opinions from people that won't be affected should not guide
the commission's decision making process. The opposition to this project, which is almost entirely comprised of
Missouri Heights residents, are those that will be directly affected. Their opinions should carry e heavy weight
and be persuasive in approval determination. lts the residents that will have to deal with negative impacts of
the nonconforming use, which in our case will include diminution in property value.
Thanks,
Ryan and Carolyn

lExternall Ascendigo
Ascendigo is not an educational organization and is not operating for educational use. They are a Clinical Therapy Service
provider. These buildings in their land use application are designed for Clinical Therapy Services. Clinical Therapy
Services are NOT educational uses/services. Clinical Therapy Services are MEDICAL services/treatments. This facility is
actually closer to a hospital than an educational facility. All of their revenue is grants, donations, and CHARGED services
for the camp and Clinical Therapy Services (commercial activity).
Ascendigo via their own Federal Non-Profit Tax Filings acknowledges that the "mission or most significant activities" are
"outdoor experiences and Clinical Therapy Services". Further in Schedule A they do not elect ANY choice related to
educational purposes.

While no homes were constructed on any of the parcels, the previous owners did make
improvements of new roads, fire protect¡on, water systems, and ut¡¡¡ties subject to the
Whitecloud Subdivision lmprovement Agreement. The Aseendigo Ranch will repurpose those
irnprovements for the camp use.
The focus of the 126+ acres on the Ascendigo Ranch would be the camp services. The
Ascendigo ßanch primary buildings would include:
While Ascendigo allegedly has a "proprietary ABA therapy" educational license (per Dan Richardson), that they will not
disclose, presumably th.y ,r" exchanging labor for educational credit. They are billing the "camper" to come receive
ABA Clinical Therapy Services and they are "teaching" interns these Clinical Therapy Services.
This is essentially like opening a medical clinic in Missouri Heights. so if this is approved Valley View or Aspen Valley can
also open a facility up here as long as they have interns who receive educational credit/experience. which is precisely
what Ascendigo is proPos¡ng'
They would not build this large camp l¡ke facility if the primary purpose was "proprietary ABA therapy education". I dont
see any other educational facilities with i-4,000 sqft stables....guest cabins and equestrian facilities....
The camp and other services are not licensed educational uses in any way (again no disclosure on the¡r educational
license was provided). The only claim to educational use (teaching clinical therapy services) cannot exist without the
medical /commercial use of the facility as they can only be accredited by providing legitimate Clinical Therapy Services,
for which they charge, most of which is even covered by medical insurance'
Ascendigo by their own declaration are clearly performing Clinical Therapy Services, which are medical/commercial
activities.
Medical services are a commercial activity.
Commercial activity means the conduct of any aspect of a business, concession or service in order to provide goods or
services to any person for compensat¡on.

RE: Ascendigo Ranch educational facility
Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for taking time to review this letter regardingthe home of the future Ascendigo Ranch educational facility.
This new venue will provide a much-needed expansion for Ascendigo's well-established (since 2004) and nationally
recognizedoutdoor educational skill-buildingprogramfor individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
In2019, my colleagues and I coordinated aprogram evaluation of Ascendigo's educational methods and its' impact
on their clients with ASD attending their Summer Adventures Camp program. This program evaluation included
caregiver surveys of their child's pre- andpost- intervention skills and additional demographics. Results revealed that
Ascendigo's clients represented abroad spectrum of the autism population, serving youth and adults with mild to
moderate levels of need in the areas of problem-solving, social, communication, coping, self-initiation, and flexibility.
Additionally, Ascendþ's summer session clients showed signifcant improvements in skills learned in the areas of
social, flexibility, communication, andcoping following the summer intervention program. Of note, clients who had
addended the Ascendigo educational intervention program three or more previous times had significantþ morc
caregiver reports of "some or more improvement" in their child's coping skills. These results reflect the extensive
educational value of Ascendþ's summer camp program to positively impact the quality of life for a wide range of
individuals with ASD.
The educational curriculum of the Ascendigo program is detailed in their manual, Ascendigo Training for Instructots
Teaching Sports to Athletes with Autism (Ascendigo Autism Services, LLC, copyright 2018). This manual incorporates
evidenced-b ased practices for individuals with ASD to successfully leam ways to engage in a variety of challenging
alpine sports activities that can lead to functioning level improvements mentioned above. The program's eight
teaching principles are rooted in applied behavior analysis (ABA), which has alarge body of empirically supported
evidence substantiating its' effectiveness addressing a range of adaptive skill deficits in youth with ASD. The
curriculum instruction methods arc tatTorcd to the core learning challenges and styles of the ASD camper:
communication, social, emotion regulation, sensory sensitivities or preferences, motor skills, and independent living
skills. The manual is used as an orientation training tool for Ascendigo's new staffas well as for on-gong fraining of
community professionals (e.g., school teams and therupists). The value of this educational training manual is
summarized by Ascendþ's Mission statement to "Elevate the (ASD) spectrum by empowering people, inspiing lives and
shattering e xpe ctations. "
I have personally visited Ascendigo's summer camp program and view it to be a high quality educational program
that serves its clients and their families very well. Thank you for yout time and attention.
Sincerely,

Subject: SAY "NO" TO ASCENDIGO WE HAVE NO WATER !
Name: KARIN BANNEROT
Email : ksbannerot@gmail.com
Phone Number: (970) 379-5354
Message: Below is an email that was sent out this morning informing us that we will not have any irrigation
water this summer. I don't know what water rights Asendigo's land has but if I as a 12 year resident have to
think twice if I can have a garden this year or not shouldn't the same responsibility be put on a large
commercial outfit?
"The Colorado Drought Monitor map shows that we are in an "extreme" bordering on "exceplig-1?!: drought.
Because of this, tnerä ¡s not enough spring run-off flowing in Cattle Creek (the source of MHMMIC's water) to
satisfy all the users who have watér rights. Senior water rights (based on the date the right was filed in water
courti must be filled before junior rights can be filled. The Mountain Meadow's 13 cubic feet per second (c'f.s.)
watei right (,,A-water") is.¡unior to 4é c.f.s of more senior water rights. Which means A-water can't begin to be
delivered until there ¡é móre than 46 c.f.s. of flow in Cattle Creek. Currently the creek is flowing at about 30
c.f.s. As dry as the soils are, it seems unlikely that there is enough snowpack in the upper Cattle Creek
watershed io increase the flow of the creek enough to allow the Company to deliver Mountain Meadow A
shares this spring. lt would take an epic amount of rain/snow to overcome that moisture deficit.
The Company's storage water right ("B-water") is junior to an additional 29 c.f.s. after the Mountain Meadow A
shares. Needless to sãy, the resérvoir is no longer filling. The level on the dam is currently at 8.5 feet. The
reservoir is full at 16 feát, but each vertical foot on the dam represents vastly more acre-feet of water because
of the shape of the basin. We try not to draw the reservoir down below 7.5' by the end of the summer. That
leaves a buffer so that evaporatìon and seepage in the fallwon't reduce the level below 6'. This is critical, as
less than 6' risks compromising the integrity of the outflow structure and the base of the dam itself' lf the
Co1¡p"ny were to deliver any É water thìs year, we'd have to limit it to one day, and even then, there might not
Oe enougn available for eacñ shareholder. The Board has determined that, unless we get an epic amount of
rain andlnow and can resume filling the reservoir, it makes most sense to leave that water in the reservoir as
a buffer against evaporation and seepage, and to have some water available in case of another fire.
Sorry for the terrible news! Everyone on the eastside of Missouri Heights will be without irrigation water."

Re: Ascendigo - Right to IJse and Improve Høtmony Lane
Dear Kelly,
As requested by you and Glenn Hartmann, I am providing documentation with respect to the
legal right of access by Ascendigo Property Holdings and Ascendigo Austism Services, Inc.
(cóllectively "Ascendigo") to Harmony Lane as well as Ascendigo's right to repair, maintain and
improve Harmony Lane.
Written fnstuments
Although use of Harmony Lane by property owners who border Harmony Lane may have pre-
existed any written easements, legal instruments granting an interest in and to an easement from CR-I02
to the south appear of record in both the Garfield and Eagle County records the late 1960s. Most
importantly, the property purchased by C.T. Garth and Mary Jane Garth ("Garths") included an interest
in and to 60-foot-wide easement and the right to build, maintain and use the roadway (e.g.Harmony
Lane) pursuant to a Warranty Deed recorded as Reception No. 236827 inthe in the Garfield County
records. Additionally, an identical conveyance was provided to Angus Anderson and Mary Symes
Anderson ("Andersons") pursuant to a Warranty Deed recorded as Reception No. 236828 in the Garfreld
County records. These deeds are attached hereto as Exhibits "4" and "B." The road easement is
g"n"rãlly described as between the Eagle-Garfield County boundary line and Sections 27 and 28 from
the County Road (e.g. CR-l02) to the southerly line of NW 1/' SE y^ of Sections 27 and 28 - which is the
location of Harmony Lane.
The parcels acquired by Acendigo on September 29,2020were originally owed by the Garths
and Andersons. The Garth and Anderson sold these parcels to the Mid-Valley Land Company

("MVLC") pursuant to Warranty Deeds recorded as Reception No. 238061 and 238062 in the Garfîeld
County records on June 5,1967. These deeds are attached hereto as Exhibits "C" and "D." Mid-Valley
Land Company subsequently subdivided and sold off various pieces of the land it acquired not only to
Acendigo's predecessor-in-interest, the Levitt family, but MVLC also sold off various other neighboring
parcels during the 1960s and 1970s. MVLC sold its last remaining properties to Ascendigo's processor-
in-interest, the Levitts, in 1994.
In the 1980s, MVLC entered into a series of Deeds of Easement with various owners of
properties that MLVC had previously sold to including the Goetze, Passin and Worhol properites (now
owned by Ascendigo) and the Johns property (now owed by Tobias Munk). MVLC not only granted
and conveyed access easements along Harmony Lane to and from CR-l02 but also received reciprocal
easements from these owners for the section of Harmony Lane located on and/or within these properties.
Given the conveyance in the 1960s to the Garths and Anderson in and to Harmony Lane, and the Deeds
of Easement from the 1980s from and to MLVC, Ascendigo's right to use and maintain Harmony Lane
is clearly documented in the records. The deeds to and from MLVC are attached hereto as Exhibits "E"
through'0L."
Right to Improve
As mentioned above the original written instruments creating and/or acknowledging Harmony
Lane state there is a right to build, maintain and use the roadway. Ascendigo, as a successor-in-interest
to portions of both the Garth and Anderson properties, has a right to maintain Harmony Lane.
Since the written instruments do not define "right to maintain" it is important to understand
Colorado law with respect to the rights of an easement holder and its ability to improve roads. "The
owner of an easement may make any use of the easement (including maintenance and improvement) that
is reasonably necessary to the enjoyment of the easement." Lazy Dog Ranch v. Telluray Ranch Corp.,
965P.zd 1229, 1238 (Colo. 1998).
In its land use application, Ascendigo has stated that it plans on removing the existing chip and
seal surface on Harmony Lane between its primary entrance and CR-I02, regrade the road surface to
promote drainage, and apply new chip and seal pavement surface to promote drainage. Ascendigo is not
only proposing this irnprovement to maintain the road and provide adequate drainage to prevent
unnecessary damage to the road, but also to help manage dust issues which have been noted by
neighbors. Ascendigo's proposal is clearly reasonably necessary to the enjoyment of the easement and
is permitted under the original conveyance of the easement which not only granted Ascendigo an
interest in the easement itself but also the right to build. maintain and use the road.
Please let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss further

Re: History of Acquisition of Ascendigo Property Holdings Properties - REVISED
Dear Kelly,
This is a revised and updated letter to the letter I sent to you on April 13, 2021. Although the
content is generally the same, I have clarified some information regarding the lot configuration and
included a summary of the applicant's request with respect to the final configuration of the parcels
which will be subject to any Limited Impact Review and Subdivision Vacation approvals by the
Garfield County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC").
Below is a summary of the acquisition of,the properties currently owned by Ascendigo Property
Holdings ("Ascendigo") including 1) Whitecloud Ridge Subdivision ("Whitecloud"), consisting of 13
lots with a total parcel area of approximately 79 acres, and the properties referred to as "Harmony
Heights" in the land use application submitted by Ascendigo earlier this year ("Ascendigo Properties") -
2) aparcel which is 4l +/- acres in size and 3) a parcel approximately 6 acres in size. An Improvement
Survey Plat of the Ascendigo Properties is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
Acqaisition by Levitts
The Ascendigo Properties were acquired over a period of time by Thomas and Molly Levitt
and/or their family trust (collectively "Levitts"), throughout the late 1980s and into the 2000s. The
Levitts were the owners who subdivided Whitecloud into 13 lots in 1996. The properties were sold by
the Levitts' family trust in 2008. As you are aware, Ascendigo purchased the Ascendigo Properties in
2020 in order for its sister entity, Ascendigo Autism Services, to develop and operate a camp on the
properties.

INlay 5,2021
Page2
The Ascendigo Properties total approximately 126 acres. According to the Garfield County
Assessor's Records, as well as survey work done by Ascendigo, the Ascendigo Properties are comprised
of three parcels each with its own Parcel Identification Number.
The Levitts acquired a total of five (5) parcels from 1988-2001 which would eventually become
the three parcels which are now owned by Ascendigo Properties. These parcels were reconfigured
through a series of boundary line adjustments and associated deeds. As discussed above, there are
currently three parcels: 1) \Mhitecloud Ridge Subdivision, consisting of a 13-lot subdivision approved by
the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") pursuant to Resolution No. 96-45
recorded as Reception No. 495867;2)Harmony Heights, a 4l-acre parcel; and 1) a 6-acre parcel located
to the south of the Harmony Heights parcel and east of Whitecloud.
Summary of Acquisitions by Levitts
A Deed Map of the acquisitions is attached hereto as Exhibit "B." The original five (5) parcels
were acquired in the following manner:
l. Warhol Parcel: The Warhol Parcel was conveyed to the Levitts via a Personal
Representative's Deed from the Estate of Andy Warhol recorded as Reception No. 394757 on
August 24,1988. A copy of the deed is attached hereto as Exhibit "C." Mr. Warhol
purchased the Warhol Parcel on June 23, 1972 from the Mid-Valley Land Company via a
General'Warranty Deed recorded as Reception No. 254228, attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
The Warhol Parcel was originally approximately 43 acres in size. The conveyance to Mr.
S/arhol in 1972 pre-dates Garfield County's ("County") subdivision regulations.
Additionally, the original parcel was over 35 acres in size.
2. Geotze Parcel: The Geotze Parcel was conveyed to the Levitts pursuant to a General
Warranty Deed from Dr. Heinz Geotze recorded as Reception No. 397763 on December 20,
1988. A copy of the deed is attached hereto as Exhibit "E." Dr. Geotze purchased the parcel
from the Mid-Valley Land Company on April24,1972,pursuant to a General Warranty
Deed recorded April 24,1972, attached hereto as Exhibit "F." The Geotze parcel was
originally 20 acres in size. The conveyance to Dr. Geotze predates the County's subdivision
regulations.
3. Mid-Valley Land Company Parcel #l: Molly Levitt acquired a parcel of land approximately
37.4 acres in size from the Mid-Valley Land Company via a General Warranty Deed on
February 27, 1992 which was recorded as Reception No. 432043. The deed is attached
hereto as Exhibit "G." The Mid-Valley Land Company Parcel #l is over 35 acres in size.
4. Mid-Valley Land Company Parcel #2: Thomas Levitt acquired a 5-acre parcel from Mid-
Valley Land Company on the same date Mr. Levitt acquired the Mid-Valley Land Company
Parcel #1. The General Warranty Deed was recorded as Reception No. 432045 is attached
hereto as Exhibit "H." This parcel was included in the Whitecloud Ridge Subdivision, as
Ontes, KNpzevtcH, GRnoeNSwARTZ, Kelrv & Monnow, P.C.

approved by the County in 1996. The County raised no objections as the time of subdivision
approval with respect to the size of this parcel nor questioned its creation. As the County
issued a land use approval with respect to this parcel in 1996,I do not believe the County can
raise concerns about its creation in 2021. Additionally, both Mid-Valley Land parcels sold to
the Levitts were a) sold to a husband and wife; and b) appear to be the last remaining
interests owned by Mid-Valley Land Company in this area of Missouri Heights.
Alternatively, if Mid-Valley Land Company Parcel #2 should not have been conveyed as a
separate parcel because the size ofthe parcel contravened the subdivision regulations as the
time, this parcel likely would have merged with the larger Mid-Valley Land Company Parcel
#l. Regardless, both of these parcels, as discussed below, were included in the Whitecloud
Ridge Subdivision, the County at the time recognized the existence of both of these parcels
and granted the approval for Whitecloud Ridge Subdivision which included both of Mid-
Valley Land Company Parcels.
5. Glen Parcel: The Levitts acquired a lO-acre parcel from the Stanley Glen Revocable Trust
on December 10, 2001, pursuant to a General Warranty Deed recorded as Reception No.
594213. The deed is attached hereto as Exhibit o'I." Please note this parcel is separate from
the Glen Subdivision Exemption, which is located to the east of the Glen Parcel. Mr. Glen
acquired the Glen Parcel from William O. Antonides via a General Warranty Deed recorded
July 26,1966 as Reception No. 235480, attached hereto as Exhibit "J." This parcel predates
the County's subdivision regulations.
To summarizethe above, the Levitts originally acquired five parcels which were either legally
created because they pre-dated subdivision regulation and/or exceeded 3S-acres, or the County
recognized the parcels as legally created as part ofprevious land use approvals.
Summary of Exßting Three Pørcels
Below is a summary of how the above parcels were reconfigured into the three parcels that
Ascendigo currently own:
Parcel 1: Parcel I consists of the Mid-Valley Land Company Parcels #l (37.4 acres) and#2 (5
acres), and a portion (36.6 acres) of the Warhol Parcel. Various lot line adjustments, which did
not create any new parcels, and the Whitecloud Ridge Subdivision approval result in a parcel
approximately 79 acres in size once the subdivision has been vacated.
Parcel 2: Parcel 2 (the larger Harmony Heights parcel) consists of a portion (6.4 acres) of the
Warhol Parcel, the Geotze Parcel (20 acres) and a portion of the Glen Parcel (5.19 acres), as
discussed below. The Levitts also entered into a series of lot line adjustments, which did not
create any new parcels, with adjacent property owners to the north, which added some additional
acreage to Parcel 2. The lot size of Parcel2 is approximate 4l acres in size.
Parcel3: Parcel 3 (e.g.the 6-acre parcel) was acquired by the Levitts from the Glen Trust in
2001. The original size of the Parcel3 was l0 acres but the Leviffs entered into and recorded at
O,,rrns. Kxrzsvrcn. GRRopNSwARTZ. Kpr-r-y & Monnow, P.C

boundary line adjustment, attached hereto as Exhibit "K," in 2008, in which Parcel 2 obtained
5.19 acrcs from Parcel 3 and Parcel 3 obtained .513 acres from Parcel2. No ncw lots wcrc
created with this boundary line adjustment - Parcel 2 gained acreage and Parcel 3 lost acreage.
The resulting parcel size for Parcel 3 is approximately 6 acres. As already established, Parcel 3
was originally a lcgally crcatcd (as its creation predated the County subdivision rcgulations) 10-
acre lot.
Reqaest by Ascendigo - Lot Configurationfor Land Use Approvals
As part of its land use approvals for Limited Impact Review and Subdivision Vacation,
Ascendigo is requesting that Parcel lAMhitecloud Ridge Subdivision be vacated and that a single 79 acre
parcel of land be created consisting of the lands within the Whitecloud Ridge Subdivision. My
understanding is this can be accomplished pursuant to a plat amendment. Ascendigo is asking that
Parcels 2 (41 acres) and 3 (6 acres), as described above, remain as-is.
The reason why Ascendigo does not want to merge all three parcels into a single parcel is
because of the State of Colorado requirements for on-site wastewater treatments systems ("OWTS") and
a limitation that only three OWTS are permitted per parcel. If Whitecloud Ridge remained a 13-lot
subdivision, an OWTS would be permitted on each of the 13 lots but the State's per lot limitation is
capped at three. Ascendigo needs six OWTS to meet its on-site wastewater treatment needs.
Although Ascendigo would prefer to keep the current configuration of three parcels, it is willing
to combine Parcels 2 and 3 as part of a boundary line adjustment (for a total of 47 acres) so that there
would only be two parcels (79 acres and 47 acres in size) instead of three parcels. Ascendigo is willing
to be subject to a conditional of approval by the County that so long as Ascendigo continues to operate
under the Limited Use Review approvals issued by the County, that it will not subdivide nor sell off any
of these parcels or portions thereof and that all of the parcels owned by Ascendigo will operate under
and be subject to these approvals. Ascendigo is asking that the County issue one land use approval for
all three (or if necessary two) parcels so that Ascendigo is subject to the same restrictions, requirements
and conditions of approval for all of the parcels subject to the current land use review.
Please let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss further

Ms. Sheryl Bower
Garfield County, Community Development Director
l-08 8th st. # 40L
Glenwood Springs, CO 81-601
VIA EMAIL
Dear Ms. Bower:
Ascendigo Autism Services ("Ascendigo") looks forward to the upcoming hearing on our land
use change permit and subdivision vacation for our properties in Missouri Heights. Our
application is being reviewed under the use designation of Educational Facility per your
determination in accordance with the Garfield County Land Use Code Section 3-402.
Ascendigo concurs that Educational Facility is the most appropriate use category given the
proposed permitted uses that include overnight stays for trainers/staff and campers/students,
trainings, therapeutic camp uses, and associated activities.
Ascendigo is a 50L(c)3 non-profit organization that serves local, regional, and national
populations of youth and adults across the autism spectrum through experiential, community-
based therapeutic learning opportunities to enhance their health, life, work and academic skills,
personal growth, and social engagement. To meet its mission, Ascendigo partners with other
educational institutions, first responder organizations, parents, and local businesses.
The services that Ascendigo provides its autistic clients combine practices from the fields of
behavioral therapy, recreational therapy, and experiential education to advance skills.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior.
ABA therapy programs help to increase language and communication skills; improve attention,
focus, social skills, memory, and academics; and decrease problem behaviors. ABA helps
learners gain different skills - from healthier lifestyles to learning a new language. Goals can
include many different skill areas including but not limited to: communication and language,
social skills, self-care (such as showering and toileting), play and leisure, motor skills, and
learning and academic skills. The instruction plan breaks down each of these skills into small,
concrete steps. The therapist teaches each step one by one, from simple (e.9. imitating single
sounds)to more complex (e.g. carrying on a conversation). Progress is measured by collecting
data in each therapy session.(r)Ascendigo currently employs four (4) Board-Certified Behavior
Analysts (BCBAs), several with a master's degree in education, and most of our direct service
providers are Registered BehaviorTechnicians (RBTs). We provide education on behavior
services directly to families as well as local schools and their teachers.
Recreational Therapv utilizes a wide range of activity and community-based interventions and
techniques to improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and leisure needs of clients.
Recreational therapists assist clients to develop skills, knowledge, and behaviors for daily living
and community involvement. ln schools, Therapeutic Recreation is specifically indicated as a
Ascendlgo Ranch Appllcatlon
Page 2
Related Service under the lndividuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).(2) Ascendigo has
two (2) full-time Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) on staff and employs many
students or graduates of Therapeutic Recreation degreed programs.
Experiential Education is a teaching philosophy in which educators purposefully engage with
learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop
skills, clarify values, and develop people's capacity to contribute to their communities.
Experiential educators include an extensively broad range of professionals such as teachers,
counselors, corporate team builders, therapists, challenge course practitioners, environmental
educators, guides, instructors, coaches, mental health professionals and many more. Many
disciplines and settings utilize experiential education methodologies: outdoor and adventure
education, non-formal education, place-based education, project-based learning, global
education, environmental education, student-centered education, informal education, active
learning, service learning, cooperative learning and expeditionary learning.(r)Ascendigo
employs certified riding instructors (PATH), climbing instructors, whitewater guides, ski
instructors, and other outdoor recreation specialists. Ascendigo is an approved provider of
community-based vocational services by the State of Colorado Department of Vocational
Rehabilitation (DVR) to teach employment skills for those with autism. Through this
partnership, Ascendigo also provides employment trainings for transitioning students in the
Roaring Fork School District.
Ascendigo's educational offerings and trainings are guided by an Ascendigo curriculum called
"The Ascendigo Way" developed for use across a number of settings. The target audience are
those who will be working with the autistic population. While the curriculum is proprietary,
sections could be provided, upon request, as long as intellectual property concerns can be
addressed. The Ascendigo Curriculum is being developed by a full-time employee with a
master's in education (M.Ed.) in the field of Curriculum and lnstruction.
lncluded among our many partners is the Roaring Fork School District. I have attached a letter
from Patrick McGinty, Special Education Director, confirming our partnership and the value that
our training brings to their students, faculty and services.
Part of the reason for our on-site staff housing is that Ascendigo can make an impact by
partnering with colleges and universities to provide "hands-on" experience with our curriculum
through staffing our summer camp program. Bachelor's degree candidates from selected
programs can benefit from the direct interactions in recreational therapy in our setting.
Another one of our partners is Grand Valley State University (GVSU). I have attached a letter
from Dr. Susan Sunden from GVSU about their experience with the Ascendigo partnership.
Grand Valley is not the only college or university that Ascendigo partners with but is
representative of the respect for the Ascendigo program, training, and curriculum.
Finally, Ascendigo trains local first responders each year with tools to better communicate with
people who have special needs during crisis situations. Recently, Ascendigo was awarded a
Ascendigo Ranch Application
Page 3
substantial federal grant from the Department of Justice to educate and train local law
enforcement agencies on how to handle emergency situations involving individuals with
autism.
Ascendigo's vocational efforts also provide local employers with training for safe and effective
interaction with individuals on the spectrum in order to lead productive and meaningful lives.
The Ascendigo Ranch would be used in these ongoing trainings that benefit the entire
community.
These examples are not the entirety of Ascendigo's educational offerings and their relationship
to the proposed facility but are illustrative of the appropriateness of the Community
Development Director's determination.
Please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Robert Schultz

To whom it may concern:
Ascendigo is an outstanding partner to the Special Education Department of the Roaring Fork Schools.
Ascendigo's services for behavior supports are a model of excellence. Their expertise is invaluable when
we program for Roaring Fork School students with autism and other atypical cognitive challenges.
As an educational partner, we open our doors for Ascendigo's services so that they can have a positive
impact in both the home and school envlronments for our families. By having the Ascendigo team as a
part of our school community, our staff are able to learn how to best support our students throughout
the school day. Having this professional resource in our backyard ensures that we have some of the most
current professional development in our rural area.
Additionally, Ascendigo ensures that our students work on key skills identified by the Colorado
Department of Education as critical for student success as they grow and transition to adulthood.
Families are grateful for this partnership as we work together to model strong school-community
collaboration.
Specifically, on behalf of the Special Education Department of the Roaring Fork Schools, I express my
enthusiast¡c support of Ascendigo's move to their permanent home. We feel that the¡r educational
services pair well with the district's mission to "ensure that every student develops the enduring
knowledge, skills, and character to thrive in a changing world." We look forward to continuing and
enhancing our partnership with Ascendigo as they grow to meet the needs of our community. Please
reach out to me for additional information about our partnership and the strengths Ascendigo brings to
our area.
Sincerely,
Patrick McGinty, Special Education Director

Recreational Therapy Program
To whom it may concerrr:
We, the Recreational Therapy faculty at Grand Valley State Univetsity, are vriting this letter on
behalf of Ascendigo Autism Services.
We have had an educational partnership v¡ith,\scendigo ,\utism Services fot the past 5*
years. Ascendigo has hosted dozens of our Recteational Therapy students in a for-credit, summer
internship program. Ascendigo has been one of the premiet internship hosts for our students.
Ascendigo promotes evidence-based practices and the most recent research fot Autism services. In
fact, their approach and training practices are among the most advanced in the country. Using the
Ascendigo Educational Curriculum they have helped pfepare out students fot professional careets in
recreational therapy. At Ascendigo they leatn the principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis,
Adaptive Sports Insttuction, Behavioral Psychology, and so much more. Many of our students have
chosen careers in the field of autism after their time with Ascendigo. This is an inctedible
educational opportunity for young professionals to gain critical knowledge, skills and abilities. The
\7hite Cloud property enables,\scendigo to teach and train many more aspiring young therapists. If
they were flot peïmitted use of this facility for educational opportunities it would be a great loss for
the Autism community and the field of recreational therapy.
'We stand in suppott of Ascendigo Autism Services and the use of the \Mhite Cloud Property âs
indicated. If you would like to discuss this matter futther, we would enthusiastically embrace the
opportunity.

RE: Ascendigo Ranch educational facility
Dear Commissioners,
Thank you for taking time to review this letter regardingthe home of the future Ascendþ Ranch educational facility.
This new venue will provide a much-needed expansion for Ascendþ's well-established (since 2004) and nationally
recognized outdoor educational skill-buildingprogram for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
In2019, my colleagues and I coordinated aprogram evaluation of Ascendþ's educational methods and its' impact
on theil clients with ASD attending theil Surnner Adverrtules Carrrp progÌarn. This proglarn evalua[ion inclucletl
caregiver surveys of their child's pre- and post- intervention skills and additional demographics. Results revealed that
Ascendigo's clients represented a broad spectrum of the autism population, serving youth and aclults with milcf to
moderate levels of need in the areas ofproblem-solving, social, communication, coping, self-initiation, and flexibility.
Additionally, Ascendþ's summer session clients showed significant improvements in skills learned in the areas of
social, flexibility, communication, and coping following the summer intervention program. Of note, clients who had
addended the Ascendigo educational intervention program three or more previous times had significantly more
caregiver reports of "some or more improvement" in their child's coping skills. These results reflect the extensive
educational value of Ascendigo's summer camp program to positively impact the quality of life for a wide range of
individuals withASD.
The educational curriculum of the Ascendigo program is deøiled in their manual, Ascendigo Training for Instructors
Teaching Sports to Athletes with Autism (Ascendigo Autism Sertices, LLC, copyright 2018). This manual incorporates
evidenced-based practices for individuals with ASD to successfully learn ways to engage in a variety of challenging
alpine sports activities that can lead to functioning level improvements mentioned above, The program's eight
teaching principles are rooted in applied behavior analysis (ABA), which has a large body of ernpilically supported
evidence substantiating its' effectiveness addressing a raîge of adaptíve skill deficits in youth with ASD. The
curriculum instruction methods are tailored to the core learning challenges and styles of the ASD camper:
communication, social, emotion regulation, sensory sensitivities or preferences, motor skills, and independent living
skills. The manual is used as an orientation training tool for Ascendigo's new staff as well as for on-gong training of
community professionals (e.g., school teams and therapists). The value of this educational training manual is
summarized by Ascendigo's Mission statement to "Eleyate the (ASD) spectrum by empowering people, inspiring Lives ønd
shøttering e xpe ctøt i o ns, "
I have personally visited Ascendigo's summer camp program and view it to be a high quality educational program
that serves its clients and their families very well. Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
,) .\lj, i ")
