The following minutes reflect the order of the agenda and not necessarily the chronological

1. PUBLIC COMMENT
None.
2. CONSENT
Approval of minutes of the March 3, 2015 meeting.
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Moreau) to approve the Consent Agenda as
presented and the motion passed unanimously, with one absent.
3. LOT 6, LONE PINE ACRES ADDITION, 1851 North Lake Avenue, Backbone
Adventure Rentals
Planner Kleisler reviewed the staff report. The application is for a variance from Estes
Valley Development Code (EVDC) Section 5.1.R.1, which prohibits vehicle displays in the
front setback area; the applicant proposes to use an existing vehicle display pad that is
located in the setback area. Also, a variance from EVDC Section 5.1.R.4, which allows up
to one (1) vehicle display pad per 100 feet of street frontage; the applicant desires to have
two (2) outdoor vehicle displays within 100 feet of street frontage.
Planner Kleisler stated the Town Board recently approved a Special Review use of
Backbone Adventure Rentals. The applicant's vehicle rental building will be located at
1851 North Lake Avenue. The applicant desires to display vehicles on pads located within
the front setback area. The requested display areas are not beyond the scope of the
Special Review approval, as the locations were labeled on the development plan as

potential outdoor display areas. The property is zoned CO—Commercial Outlying. The
property borders a parking lot to the east, a vacant commercial building to the west, and
single-family homes to the north. There are two buildings on the site, each approximately
3,100 square feet. Planner Kleisler stated the building was constructed in 1960, and is
right up against the south property line. Per the EVDC, there will be some improvements
to the site. If approved, a display pad would be built on the south east corner of the
property, facing east. Parking spaces will be added on the east side of the building.
Planner Kleisler stated the application was routed to all affected agencies and adjacent
property owners. No concerns were expressed during the review period. After the staff
report was written, one neighbor called the Community Development Department. After
explaining the project, there were no concerns.
Staff Findings
1. Special circumstances or conditions exist:
Staff finds that special circumstances and conditions exist relating to the location of
the southern building. The building, constructed in 1960 was built up to the front
property line. The location of the building leaves any suitable display area towards the
rear of the lot. Furthermore, the building screens the easterly display area from
westbound traffic, and the westerly area from eastbound traffic.
2. Practical difficulty:
A. The business use is approved and may continue.
B. Staff finds the variance is not substantial.
C. The essential character of the neighborhood would not be substantially altered with
the approval of this variance. The westerly display pad was previously used to
display vehicles.
D. Affected agencies expressed no concerns relating to public services for this
variance.
E. The applicant knew of this limitation when entering a lease with the property owner.
F. The only other display areas on the site would be towards the rear of the lot and
screened from public view from buildings. Therefore, it appears that this variance
request is the only method by which to have functional vehicle display locations.
G. The conditions as submitted in this variance petition are not general and recurrent
in nature. The building location is unique relative to other sites in the area.
H. Staff is unaware of another alternative to permit vehicle displays.
I. The use, classified as Equipment/Vehicle Sales and Rentals, was approved through
a Special Review application on February 24, 2015.
Planner Kleisler stated staff recommended approval of the variance requests.

Staff and Member Discussion
None.
Public Comment
Jes Reetz/applicant representative stated an island was requested by the Public Works
Department as a way to delineate the entrance to the business. The area will be concrete
curb and gutter, with cobble placed inside the area. The light pole will remain outside of the
display area, as it is in the public right-of-way.
Conditions of Approval
None. The applicant had conditions of approval associated with the Special Review
process, so no conditions were necessary for this application.
It was moved and seconded (Newsom/Lynch) to approve the variance requests with
the findings recommended by staff and the motion passed unanimously with one
absent.
4. LOT 9, BLOCK 2, 2ND AMENDED PLAT, TOWN OF ESTES PARK, 143 E. Elkhorn
Avenue, Earthwood Collections
Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. The applicant requests a variance from EVDC
Section 4.4.D.1.a, which requires "all retail sales, displays and activities and all other
uses, storage and activity shall be wholly contained within the interior of a building or
permanent structure." The purpose of the request is to use a small private alley as a
display area for merchandise (outdoor art). The property is located downtown, in an
alleyway immediately east of Earthwood Collections. The overall neighborhood is all retail
businesses. The alleyway is not typical for the area. The applicant, Ron Wilcocks,
purchased the building in 2013. Previous owners found it difficult to attract customers to
the area.
The application was reviewed per EVDC Section. It was routed to applicable affected
agencies and adjacent property owners. There was one written comment supporting the
variance. This proposed variance would not impede pedestrian traffic on Elkhorn Avenue.
Fire Marshall Marc Robinson had no concerns as long as the displays are shifted to one
side and allow for pedestrian movement through the alleyway. Planner Shirk stated the
outdoor display will be limited to products designed for permanent outdoor display such
as statues, and shall be limited to product for sale by the property owner or lessee. If
approved, the variance stays with the property, and this type of display would be allowed
with other owners of the property.
The Estes Valley Board of Adjustment is the decision-making body for this request. There
are no other land use applications associated with this request.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 4
April 7, 2015
Staff Findings
1. The request generally satisfies the requirements of Section 3.6.0 variance "Standards
for Review."
2. Special circumstances or conditions exist that are not common to other areas or
buildings similarly situated and practical difficulty would result from strict compliance
with development code standards.
3. Approval of the requested variance will not nullify or impair the intent and purposes of
either the specific standard, the development code, or the Comprehensive Plan.
4. The variance is not substantial.
5. The essential character of the neighborhood would not be substantially altered nor
would adjoining properties suffer a substantial detriment as a result of the variance.
6. The variance would not adversely affect the delivery of public services such as water
and sewer or affect pedestrian movement.
7. The recommended conditions of approval will substantially secure the objectives of the
varied standard.
8. The Board of Adjustment is the decision-making body for this variance request.
Planner Shirk stated staff recommended approval of the variance request, with the
conditions of approval listed below. Member Moreau asked for and received confirmation
that the conditions of approval would allow only items for permanent outdoor display. He
was concerned a future business owner would want to display t-shirts or other retail items
in the area. There was brief discussion concerning the location of the property line.
Conditions of Approval
1. Outdoor display area shall be limited to outdoor art or furniture such as statues and
chairs for sale by the property owner or lessee.
2. Outdoor display shall be set back at least five feet from the front of adjacent buildings.
Public Comment
Ron Wilcocks/applicant stated he has been a downtown business owner for 15 years.
They sell handmade art and will continue with this tradition. They strive for high quality
artwork. The retail space in the rear of the building is difficult to see, which has been an
issue with tenants. With the ability to display outdoor art, he plans to expand Earthwood
Collections into the underutilized rear building. The outdoor display or art will have no
effect on the public sidewalk, since it is all on private land. He stated the approval of the
variance is consistent with the Town's goal of re-vitalizing downtown, and it will directly
help support this goal.
Jon Nicholas/Economic Development Corporation commended Mr. Wilcocks on his
creativity on a difficult downtown space.
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 5
April 7, 2015
Jerry Godby/new business owner supported the variance request, hoping other
businesses could be creative in ways to attract customers.
Members Newsom and Lynch stated they were supportive of the request.
It was moved and seconded (Moreau/Lynch) to approve the variance request with the
findings and conditions recommended by staff and the motion passed unanimously
with one absent.
5. REPORTS
A. Senior Planner Shirk reported the Barrel Beer Garden has been approved for their
liquor license and the applicant has applied for a building permit.
B. Senior Planner Shirk reported the Town applied for and received a grant for an overall
Downtown Neighborhood Plan, and will be starting the Request for Proposal (RFP)
process in the near future. The plan will most likely consider, among other items,
infrastructure analysis and upgrades, and aspects of the EVDC that may be a
hindrance to the success of the downtown area.
C. Senior Planner Shirk stated Member Lynch's term expires June 30, 2015. He has
submitted a letter to the county Commissioners expressing his interest in continuing
for another three-year term.
D. Senior Planner Shirk reported there will not be a meeting in May, 2015.
E. Senior Planner Shirk reported the recent amendments to the BOA Bylaws were
approved by the Town Board and the County Commission and will be placed in the
member notebooks.
F. Senior Planner Shirk stated a Special Town Board meeting will be held Wednesday,
April 15th to accept public comment on the FLAP application.
There being no other business before Board, the meeting was adjourned at 9:34
a.m.

ESTES VALLEY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
MEETING DATE:
June 2, 2015
REQUEST:
This request is for a variance from the Estes
Valley Development Code (EVDC) Section
4.3, Table 4-2, which sets a minimum setback
of 25 feet in the E-1 Estate zone district. The
Applicant requests a variance to construct a
10x12 foot shed two feet from the side lot line.
The applicant recently received Town Board
approval to vacate an easement in the area of
the proposed shed.
LOCATION: 610 Pinewood Drive
APPLICANT/OWNER: Steven and Katey
Rusch
STAFF CONTACT: Philip Kleisler
REVIEW CRITERIA: In accordance with
Section 3.6 C. "Standards for Review" of the
EVDC, all applications for variances shall
demonstrate compliance with the applicable
standards and criteria contained therein.
The Board of Adjustment is the decision-
making body for this application.
REFERRAL AND PUBLIC COMMENTS: This request has been routed to reviewing
agency staff and adjacent property owners for consideration and comment. A legal
notice was published in the Trail Gazette.
Affected Agencies. No concerns were expressed during review.
Public. As of May 27, 2015 staff has received two letters of support from the neighbors
to the immediate west and south. Any comments received after May 27, 2015 will be
posted at www.estes.oro/CurrentApplications for the Board's review and presented in
the staff presentation.
STAFF FINDINGS:
1. Special circumstances or conditions exist (e.g., exceptional topographic conditions,
narrowness, shallowness or the shape of the property) that are not common to other
areas or buildings similarly situated and practical difficulty may result from strict
compliance with this Code's standards, provided that the requested variance will not
have the effect of nullifying or impairing the intent and purposes of either the specific
standards, this Code or the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Finding: Other areas of the lot, particularly the easterly area, become
seasonably wet and boggy. Such conditions may pose substantial
maintenance issues.
2. In determining "practical difficulty," the BOA shall consider the following factors:
a. Whether there can be any beneficial use of the property without the variance;
Staff Finding: Residential use may continue.
b. Whether the variance is substantial;
Staff Finding: The variance is not substantial.
c. Whether the essential character of the neighborhood would be substantially
altered or whether adjoining properties would suffer a substantial detriment as a
result of the variance;
Staff Finding: The essential character of the neighborhood would not be
substantially altered with the approval of this variance. Nearby homes have
adequate separation from the project site and many have similar sheds.
Adjoining properties would not suffer a substantial detriment as a result of
this variance. The nearest property is a residential dwelling approximately
40 feet to the east and has provided a letter of support for the project.
d. Whether the variance would adversely affect the delivery of public services such
as water and sewer.
Staff Finding: Affected agencies expressed no concerns relating to public
services for this variance.
610 Pinewood Lane Page 2 of 4
Setback Variance Request
e. Whether the Applicant purchased the property with knowledge of the
requirement;
Staff Finding: According to the Larimer County Tax Assessor, the
applicant purchased the property in 2013, after the adoption of the current
setback requirements.
f. Whether the Applicant's predicament can be mitigated through some method
other than a variance.
Staff Finding: A variance appears to be the only practical option to
construct the shed, as proposed.
3. No variance shall be granted if the submitted conditions or circumstances affecting
the Applicant's property are of so general or recurrent a nature as to make
reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation for such conditions or
situations.
Staff Finding: The seasonal conditions as submitted in this variance
petition are not general and recurrent in nature.
4. No variance shall be granted reducing the size of lots contained in an existing or
proposed subdivision if it will result in an increase in the number of lots beyond the
number otherwise permitted for the total subdivision, pursuant to the applicable zone
district regulations.
Staff Finding: The variance, if granted, will not result in an increase in the
number of lots.
5. If authorized, a variance shall represent the least deviation from the regulations that
will afford relief.
Staff Finding: No comment.
6. Under no circumstances shall the BOA grant a variance to allow a use not permitted,
or a use expressly or by implication prohibited under the terms of this Code for the
zone district containing the property for which the variance is sought.
Staff Finding: This accessory use is permitted in the E-1 Estate zone
district.
7. In granting such variances, the BOA may require such conditions as will, in its
independent judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standard so varied
or modified.

ESTES VALLEY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
REQUEST FOR VARIANCE STATEMENT OF INTE
REVISED 1/21/2015
Lot 1, Thompsons Pinewood Acres Resub
610 Pinewood Lane
Estes Park, Colorado
This application is a request for variance from the setback requirement of 25 feet.
The reason for the variance is to allow the owners to set a 10x12 foot shed in the most
hidden and dry section of the property, thus maintaining the existing view corridor. The
owners have very little existing garage space to store items that cannot go in the house,
and cannot be stored outside (lawnmower, boats, tools etc.) both for weather protection
and in the interest of maintaining a clean appearance to the property and neighborhood.
The owners have met with both immediate neighbors to discuss the location and type of
construction to ensure that every request be met.
Review Standards/Practical Difficulty
1. Special circumstances exist: The property is seasonally wet and boggy on
the east side of the house. Setting a structure on any part of that side of the
property is strongly discouraged.
2. It is also in the best interest of the owners to maintain the open view corridor
to the east for the sake of the neighbors and the aesthetics of the
neighborhood as a whole.
3. The essential character of the neighborhood would not be altered, nor would
adjoining properties suffer detriment as a result of the variance. Letters of
support of this variance from each adjoining property owners are included
with this submittal.
4. This neighborhood does not have an HOA.
5. The conditions reflected in this application are not general. They are specific
to this particular home, property, layout and seasonal conditions.
6. The proposal is not excessive. Every consideration has been addressed
concluding this to be the best location.
7. The property is zoned E-1, which to the best of the owners understanding,
has a minimum lot size requirement of 1 acre. The property is 0.78 acre.
8. This variance does not propose a not-permitted or prohibited use.

To Whom It May Concern:
Steve and Kate Rusch are proposing to construct a storage shed on their property located at
610 Pinewood Lane, and they are seeking a variance to the required side yard setback. We own
the property immediately south of the Rusch's property and we have no objection to granting
the variance.
The shed is proposed to be located on the west side of the Rusch's home, near the west
property line. In this location, the shed will not be readily visible from our property and from
our perspective is the most favorable location_

Re: Kate and Steve Rusch. 610 Pinewood Ln. Shed Variance
Members of the Estes Valley Board of Adjustment:
As the neighbors in closest proximity to the proposed storage shed location, we are writing
this letter in support of granting this variance. We have met with Steve and Kate a number of
times and are fully on board with this project.
I have been coming to Estes for 56 years to the home built by my grandfather, improved by my
mother/father and maintained by me for two decades. This is the sort of improvement which
enhances values as it mitigates yard clutter-a major problem in many Estes neighborhood. We
rish that others would take this diligent approach toward their properties.
We urge you to approve this variance request and welcome any questions you may have.
