Parking in RVR
To relieve parking pressure on owners, contractors and Town emergency vehicles we have coordinated a temporary parking plan with the Town of Carbondale Police Department. Click here to view parking map. We ask that owners, guests and contractors park only in the areas designated yellow. This is on street only, not on the grass. The areas designated pink are NO PARKING areas as they are to tight for emergency vehicles to pass parked vehicles. This is daytime only parking, no overnight parking is allowed on the streets in RVR. Please inform your guests of these parking areas. This plan is being distributed to each builder as part of their DRC packet. We will work out designated parking areas for other areas of the Ranch as needed by construction activities.
If you have any questions or are aware of parking problems please contact the Ranch House at 970-963-6300.

Aspen Valley Land Trust Report
| |
Thanks to the River Valley Ranch open space transfer fee, Aspen Valley Land Trust is proud to have conserved over 10,000 acres within a seven-mile radius of Carbondale. Twelve properties in this area include public access for your community. In addition, the RVR Open Space Fund has been used to help defray the often-prohibitive costs landowners incur in donating conservation easements to land trusts. These costs include required due diligence such as biological studies, appraisals, legal review, title reports, and annual conservation easement monitoring, as well as transaction and stewardship fees.
The RVR Open Space Fund was approved as part of the subdivision approval for RVR granted by the Town of Carbondale in 1996. The goal of the transfer fee was to help protect the remaining ranchlands and open spaces.

Examples of how the fund is being used:
| |
Coffman Ranch is an historic family ranch 1.5 miles east of Carbondale on CR 100 and Rio Grande Trail. 141 acres with ¾ mile Roaring Fork River front, 35 acres of wetlands, 80 acres of irrigated pasture, important wildlife habitat, and opportunities for public access and outdoor education. This project is in progress.
TD (Thompson Divide) Ranch conservation easement (2020, completed 11/13/2020)
This property was purchased by Pitkin County and protected under a conservation easement held by AVLT. This historic 409-acre ranch in the Thompson Divide protects important wildlife habitat and potential for outdoor education access.
To learn more about AVLT and further protect the places you love in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River valleys, visit avlt.org.

| Board Clarifies Language on Vehicle Parking at RVR
At its monthly meeting, the Board approved language clarifying what vehicles are and are not allowed at RVR. The Board unanimously adopted an Addendum to the existing Vehicle Parking, Storage, Operation and Repair portion of our Master Declaration. The Addendum provides definition to types of vehicles such as motor homes, recreational vehicles, industrial and commercial vehicles. Click here to view the Vehicle Parking and Storage language; and click here to view the Addendum, which provides clarity and definition to the types of permitted and non-permitted vehicles.
The Board’s action is an important step in its efforts to enforce provisions of our Master Declaration. Over the next few months, we will raise awareness about these vehicles in our weekly newsletter. If you have a vehicle that may be affected by the Vehicle Parking, Storage, Operation and Repair language, please contact General Manager Sterling Page to confirm whether the vehicle is or is not allowed at RVR. There will be a “grace period” between now and spring for owners of the non-permitted vehicles to make sure they’re able to comply with our governing documents. Beginning mid-April, homeowners whose vehicles are not in compliance will be given warnings, and starting May 1, they will be issued Notices of Violation and Fines.
