A GLENWOOD ARCHITECT ON DESIGNING FOR WELLNESS, SUSTAINABILITY, AND LASTING VALUE

What’s Behind Your Core Philosophy?

WHEN TODD YOUNG MOVED WITH HIS FAMILY TO GLENWOOD FROM FLAGSTAFF LAST SUMMER, IT WAS A HOMECOMING. The architect is Colorado born and bred, with a career built in Steamboat Springs and a passion for sustainability and meaningful design. After a three-year stint in the Arizona desert, his lifelong love of the mountains prevailed—and Young returned to his home state to lay down roots in the valley.

BIOPHILIC DESIGN “Biophilic design acknowledges a passionate love of life and for the natural living world. Creating spaces for wellness and human interaction with nature and living systems is a primary goal in my work. As naturalist E. O. Wilson says in the biophilia hypothesis, ‘Humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life.’”

“When I was based in Steamboat years ago, I really appreciated the close-knit community there,”

SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

he says. “The Roaring Fork Valley has that same

LOCAL S ONLY (CONTINUED)

The narrow upper reaches of Transfer Trail, which would be used daily by RMR employees under the proposed expansion.

IMPACT—AND WHAT’S AT STAKE The quarry is directly adjacent to Glenwood city limits. For the Glenwood Springs Citizens’ Alliance, a group fighting the expansion, there’s more to the size of the proposed development than the acreage. The mine’s footprint would be visible throughout town.

Mining operations would increase truck traffic between the mine and the rail yard beside the Colorado River and destroy habitat for bighorn sheep, bear, deer, bald eagles, and other wildlife.

On a community hike to the quarry last summer, Jeff Peterson, director of the Alliance, said the quantity of rock that RMR plans to extract is about five million tons per year over two decades.

“They’re proposing blasting operations from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., mining operations from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” he explained. “So, over that 12-hour day that they propose operating mining equipment, they would need to average 38,000 pounds a minute out of the hillside.”

That means noise and dust from blasting, crushing, loading and hauling the rock. Matt Langhorst, Public Works director for the City of Glenwood Springs, estimates that trucks would dump rocks into metal rail cars every 69 seconds.

“You can imagine what the noise load will be for everybody,” he said on a November tour of the haul route. “You will hear it across the city all day long—12 hours a day, 365 days a year.”

Langhorst said a haul trailer could be as long as 48 feet not including the cab in front of it.

“That could easily add another 15 feet to the length of the vehicle,” he explained. The main road to the quarry, Transfer Trail, is unpaved and barely wide enough for two vehicles.

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS THREATENED Jeff Peterson of the Glenwood Springs Citizens' Alliance at the launch of "Don't Strip Glenwood," the city's opposition campaign, in November 2019.

Glenwood Springs resident Steve Beckley is opposed to the quarry expansion. He and his wife, Jeanne, own the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park within a stone’s throw, so to speak, of the existing mine.

LOCAL S ONLY (CONTINUED) QUESTIONS REMAIN Meanwhile, quarry operations continue despite the ongoing litigation over county permit violations. And, recent changes raise questions about the fate of RMR Industrials and the proposed expansion.

Chad Brownstein retired as CEO of RMR on January 1. His reasons remain a mystery but, in an official filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, RMR states that he will continue as non-executive chairman of company’s Board of Directors and remain an employee for the time being. Greg Dangler, RMR’s president since 2014, took over the CEO post and continues to hold a seat on the board.

Local spelunkers discovered a cave last fall within the quarry expansion footprint that is now protected under the Jeff Peterson (in red cap) leads a hiking group up Transfer Trail to discuss the expansion proposal in summer 2019.

1988 Federal Caves Resources Protection Act. But, shifts in federal land management regulations could favor the expansion. The current administration has proposed significant revisions to the National Environmental Policy Act that could reduce public involvement in—and increase corporate control of—federal land projects across the country.

The Bureau of Land Management is considering similar rule changes about projects on agency lands.

sparkling clean STACY DOMAGALSKI FOUNDED KREATIVE KLEANING IN 2015 AS THE COMPANY’S LONE CLEANER. Just five years later, she works with some 20 cleaning partners to scrub and polish more than 200 residential and commercial properties across the region. How has she been able to attain this success in such a short period of time? Along with providing high-quality personalized service, Domagalski says the secret lies in the benefits that a clean space can bring to our lives. Here are the top reasons why Domagalski’s clients are leaving their spring cleaning to her crew.
