4. PRELiMINARY CONDOMiNiUM MAP - Lot 4A, Mary’s Meadow Replat, north of Kiowa
Drive between Mary’s Lake Road and Kiowa Traii. Owner: Mary’s Meadow
Development; Applicant: CMS Planning & Development
Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. He stated Mary’s Meadow Development Plan
was approved by the Planning Commission in April, 2006, and the preliminary
condominium map was approved by the Town Board in May, 2006. Preliminary plats
require submittal of a final map within one year of approval or they automatically
become null and void; the property owner did not submit the required final map within
that time frame, therefore the preliminary approval has expired. This proposal is for a
new preliminary condominium map, which will go to the Town Board following
Planning Commission’s recommendation. The final condominium map will go to the
Town Board at the same meeting.
The property owner filed an amended development plan this past winter (February
2009), which was approved by Staff. The development plan of record includes the
same number of units originally approved (35), though they are in a slightly different
configuration (two four-plexes were amended to four duplexes). The original
development plan approval contemplated this type of change, thus the development
plan was reviewed and approved by Staff.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Planning Commission
July 21, 2009
Planner Shirk recommends conditional approval of the proposal.
Public Comment: None
It was moved and seconded (Norris/Tucker) to recommend APPROVAL to the Town
Board for The Meadow Preliminary Condominium Map, Lot 4A, Mary’s Meadow Repiat,
north of Kiowa Drive between Mary’s Lake Road and Kiowa Traii with the following
conditions.

Compliance with Development Plan 06-01 “Mary’s Meadow”
The motion passed unanimously.
5. AMENDED PLAT - LOT 10, NORTH END RANCHES & TRACT 2 OF DIVISION OF LOT
20, 2112 McGraw Ranch Road. Owner/Applicant: Sonya K. Binns; Request:
Amended Plat
Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report, and stated this is a request to adjust the interior
property line between two lots of record. The parcels are zoned RE-1 Rural Estate, which has
a minimum lot size of 10 acres. The owner/applicant wishes to absorb the lower 1/3 meadow
area of the northern lot into the southern lot prior to the sale of the northern lot. This lot line
adjustment will not create any non-conforming setbacks or lot sizes and will not affect
density. The properties are under a conservation easement administered by the Estes Valley
Land Trust, who has been notified of this proposal. The current plat shows a building
envelope, which is going to be removed prior to presentment to the County Commissioners
next month.
This is a Planning Commission recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.
Staff recommends approval.
Public and Commissioner Comment:
Commissioner Norris commended the engineering firm for the clarity of the drawings. He also
appreciated the letter of support from the neighborhood association.
It was moved and seconded (Lane/Hull) to recommend APPROVAL to the County
Commissioners of the Amended Plat of Lot 10, North End Ranches and Tract 2 of the
Division of Lot 20 located at 2112 McGraw Ranch Road. The motion passed
unanimously.
6. PRELIMINARY CONDOMINIUM MAP - LOT 3, STONE BRIDGE ESTATES
CONDOMINIUMS Owner: Stone Bridge, LLC; Applicant: Rock Castle Development
Company; request to condominiumize 14 units previously approved with the Stone
Bridge Estates Development Plan.
Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. He stated the Stone Bridge Estates Development
Plan was approved by Planning Commission in August, 2007. Planner Shirk noted Stone
Bridge Estates Development Plan includes two lots, and this proposal would provide for
airspace ownership for the southern lot only. Planner Shirk stated a modification was granted
by the County to allow Stone Bridge to maintain the existing 60-foot right-of-way width,
requiring the applicant to build curb and gutter to accommodate stormwater flow. All utilities
are in place and road improvements will continue this summer.
This proposal complies with the applicable standards of the EVDC. No significant issues or
concerns were expressed by staff and reviewing agencies relative to code compliance or the
provision of public services. The proposal today is a recommendation for approval to the
Town Board.
Public and Commissioner Comment: Amy Plummer/Van Horn Engineering asked for
clarification on condition #3. Planner Shirk understands she is working with the county to get
the construction plans approved.

Facility Development Plan 09-04.located at 857 Moraine Avenue. She stated this
development plan met the criteria to be approved at staff level. The applicant desires to build
a two-story, 3,436-square-foot small group living facility for the elderly on a CO-Commercial
Outlying zoned lot. The proposal includes a facility to house up to eight elderly individuals,
excluding resident and non-resident caregivers, along with plans to provide sleeping quarters
on the second story in the future for an on-site caregiver. There were several comments by
reviewing agencies, and none from adjacent property owners. The applicant will be using as
much of the existing building as possible. Planner Chilcott noted there are some sewer issues
involving the Public Works Department and has allowed the applicants 60 days to satisfy the
conditions of approval rather than the standard 30 days to allow time for the conditions of
approval to be resolved. The complete staff report listing conditions of approval can be view
on the Town website.

Lane Stables. Staff has received strong comment on both ends of the spectrum. The Estes
Valley Board of Adjustment approved a variance to allow the fueling station to be built within
