Director Hunt introduced Planner I Robin Becker. Ms. Becker recently moved to Estes Park
from Iowa. She also spent time as a planner in New Zealand.
1. PUBLIC COMMENT
2. CONSENT AGENDA
Approval of minutes dated March 7, 2017. Member Lynch asked for a correction on the
preferred access to the proposed Dollar General Store from Stanley Avenue instead of
Highway 7.
It was moved and seconded (Moreau/Lynch) to approve the minutes as corrected
and the motion passed 4-0 with one absent.
3. PORTION OF LOT 121, AL FRESCO PLACE; 425 CHAPIN LANE; URQUHART
REIDENCE
Planner McCool reviewed the staff report. The property owner, Joseph Urquhart, requests
a variance from Estes Valley Development Code Section 4.3, Table 4-2 which requires a
25-foot setback for buildings/structures in the E-1–Estate zone district. The requested
variance is 12.5 feet. Planner McCool stated the southern property boundary abuts
Highway 34 bypass. Existing dwelling is built within the current setbacks. Planner McCool
stated the application was routed to all affected agencies. A legal notice was published in
the local newspaper and notices were mailed to adjacent property owners.
Planner McCool stated the applicant would like to add living space and an accessory
kitchen above the proposed garage to accommodate and care for aging parents that have
moved in with the owners. She stated there have been some recent amendments to the
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
Estes Valley Board of Adjustment 2
April 11, 2017
Estes Valley Development Code regarding accessory kitchens. The proposed revisions,
which remove certain unenforceable and/or irrelevant provisions, were approved by the
Town Board, and will be heard by the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners on
April 24, 2017.
Staff Findings
Please refer to the staff report for staff findings.
Staff and Member Discussion
There was brief discussion about the roofline, Highway 34 right-of-way, existing fence
line, and several existing structures that are outside the current setback. Member Moreau
stated the right-of-way is more than enough for a future expansion of the Highway 34
bypass.
Public Comment
Joe Urquhart/property owner stated the lower level is a small storage and crawl space.
The existing home is somewhat screened by some trees. He is planning to add additional
trees to create more buffer.
Staff and Member Discussion
Director Hunt clarified with the members that Board of Adjustment decisions are on a
case-by-case determination, and the decisions made by the Board are not legally bound
to set precedents.
Member Moreau stated any time there is an opportunity to afford relief to employees in
the Estes Valley in regards to affordable housing, every effort should be made to do so.
Condition of Approval
1. Prior to building permit issuance, a Street Frontage Buffer Plan that is consistent
with Section 7.5 – Landscaping and buffer requirements of the EVDC shall be
approved by Community Development Department staff.
It was moved and seconded (Moreau/Lynch) to approve the requested variance
according to findings of fact and conclusions of law, with findings and conditions
recommended by staff and the motion passed 3-1 with Member Newsom voting
against.
4. REPORTS
A. Director Hunt reported the Planning Commission will be discussing building height in the
RM-Multi-Family Residential zone district on Tuesday, April 18, 2017. The meeting will
be held in Room 202, with discussion on this item beginning about noon. If needed, the
Board of Adjustment may want to have a study session regarding building height.
Board members are welcome to provide comments regarding the proposal. Director
Hunt stated the initial proposal was a height limit of 45 feet, but this has since been
lowered to 40 feet, which, in nearly all cases would be a three-story building. Although
this current amendment is confined to the RM zone district, there could be a future

need to review the height limit in the CD zone district to allow for redevelopment. The
Downtown Plan and the Steering Committee will be sharing their thoughts regarding
this.
B. Director Hunt reported public meetings will be occurring regarding the Downtown Plan,
with the goal to have a design by the end of 2017.
There being no other business before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 9:48 a.m.

ESTES VALLEY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
MEETING DATE & LOCATION: June 6, 2017, 9:00AM; Board Room, Town Hall, 170
MacGregor Avenue
APPLICANT REQUEST: This is a request for a variance to Estes Valley Development Code
(EVDC) Section 4.4.C.4 Table 4-5 Density and Dimensional Standards for the Nonresidential
Zone Districts. The variance would allow a total of 85.6% impervious coverage for the lot
in lieu of the 65% maximum allowed in the CO (Commercial Outlying) zone district. The
Variance represents a 1% increase over existing conditions.
The purpose of the variance is to allow an expansion to the existing Safeway building. The
expansion would replace a small area of landscaped space with new impervious area. The
existing impervious coverage for the lot is at 84.6%.
Staff recommends approval.
LOCATION: 451 Wonderview Ave., within the Town of Estes Park
VICINITY MAP: See attachment
APPLICANT/OWNER: Safeway Stores INC / Stanley Village Shopping Center, LLC
STAFF CONTACT: Audem Gonzales, Planner II
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request to grant a variance to allow a 1% increase in the
maximum impervious coverage allowed for a CO (Commercial Outlying) zoned lot. Currently, the
lot is approximately 13.92 acres in size and is developed with the Stanley Village Shopping
Center. The site consists of multiple buildings, parking lots, and pedestrian connections. The
existing lot coverage was calculated to be 84.6%, which is 19.6% over the allowed 65% in the CO
zoning district.
This Variance application is necessary to allow the Safeway building to expand. There is a staff
level Development Plan running concurrently with this application. The proposed project is a 6,280
SF addition to the east side of the Safeway building. The addition would take place over an
asphalted parking area and landscape island. Because the landscape island is being taken
out/altered, the impervious coverage for the lot will increase by 0.1% or 568 SF.
With this expansion, the impervious lot coverage will be over by 19.7%, even though the actual
expansion is only 0.1%. Therefore, a Variance is required for this project. The applicant has
requested a 0.1% Variance, but staff feels taking it to the next whole number is more appropriate
in this case, as with most numerical standard variances.
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:
Public Notice. Written notice has been mailed to surrounding property owners. A legal notice
was published in the Trail Gazette. The application is posted on the department "Current
Applications" webpage. The site has been posted with a "variance pending" sign.
Affected Agencies. This request has been routed to reviewing agency staff for review and
comment. No major comments or concerns were received.
Public Comments. Staff has received no written public comment in regards to this application.
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:
The property is zoned CO
(Commercial Outlying) which
requires a maximum of 65%
impervious lot coverage. The site is
currently built out with an impervious
coverage of 84.6%. The proposed
project will increase the coverage by
0.1% bringing up the total to 84.7%.
It is unclear how the entire site was ..... •,t I

I
with this provision being put into -14.--,..--=,,,,,,,.-,-,,,,,,, !----klif c---_ !I
place. Stanley Village was originally
developed in the mid 1980's. Staff islands
research has shown that throughout
the 1980's, impervious lot coverage was a maximum of 80% in this zone district, unless a
higher amount was approved through the Special Review process. Staff has not found
evidence of a Special Review or other approval allowing 84.5% impervious coverage.
Regardless, the new Code provisions created in 2000 made this entire lot legally non-
conforming in regards to impervious lot coverage.
Staff finds that the creation of the EVDC in 2000 drastically changed the lot dimension
requirements for this zone district, therefore making future development difficult to
accomplish. Staff finds that there is a special circumstance associated with this lot.
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;
451 E. Wonderview Ave. Page 2 of 5
Impervious Lot Coverage Variance
Figure 1: Proposed Safeway expansion over existing la ?dscape
Staff Finding:
The property can remain with its current build out on the lot. The area would not be eligible
for any expansion of the buildings or uses. This poses a problem in the future as there is
additional space on the lot to build on. Any significant future project will require a Variance
to impervious lot coverage as well. Alternatively, a future EVDC amendment could be
adopted to change the lot coverage requirement to a figure more appropriate to shopping-
center use.
b. Whether the variance is substantial;
Staff Finding:
Staff does not find this request to be substantial considering the past regulation of 80%
maximum lot coverage. The site was clearly built to that standard. The proposal represents
a 0.1% deviation from the existing coverage. The Variance request represents a 1%
deviation from the existing coverage.
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 property is built with a large shopping center. Adding a 6,280 SF addition will not alter
the character of the neighborhood. Increasing the impervious lot coverage by 0.1% over
what it already built will not alter the neighborhood.
d. Whether the variance would adversely affect the delivery of public services such as water
and sewer.
Staff Finding:
Approval would not have any effect on public services such as water and sewer. The
Development Plan process will address specific locations for public services.
e. Whether the Applicant purchased the property with knowledge of the requirement;
Staff Finding:
The applicant was not aware of the impervious lot coverage standard of the EVDC. Staff
brought it to attention of the representative.
f. Whether the Applicant's predicament can be mitigated through some method other than a
variance.
Staff Finding:
There is no way to accomplish the project without a Variance. The project is not eligible
for a staff level Minor Modification.

Impervious Lot Coverage Variance
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 of situations.
Staff Finding:
It is not uncommon to find properties built to standards 20 years ago that are in great
conflict with current Codes. It is uncommon to have not have a clear history on such a
prominent property in Town. A Code amendment, while available in the fullness of time,
would take several months to process and would probably result in loss of most of all of
this year's project schedule.
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 project does not result in reducing the size of the lot.
5. If authorized, a variance shall represent the least deviation from the regulations that will afford
relief.
Staff Finding:
This variance would represent the least deviation from Code that will afford relief for the
proposal. Other options do exist though. The applicant may remove impervious coverage
on the lot and replace it with pervious coverage (more landscape islands, etc.). The project
does entail new landscaping but the amount does not relieve the project of needing a
Variance. The applicant stated in the Statement of Intent that parking and paving is a
critical part of the shopping center and must be preserved.
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:
The variance does not propose a non-permitted or prohibited use.
7. In granting such variances, the BOA may require such conditions at will, in its independent
judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standard so varied or modified.
Staff Finding:
Staff is not recommending any conditions at this time.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the requested impervious lot
coverage variance.
SUGGESTED MOTIONS
I move to APPROVE the requested variance according to findings of fact and conclusions of law,
with findings recommended by staff.
"To allow an increase of 1% to the existing 84.6% impervious lot coverage with reference
to the submitted site plan. The new maximum shall be 85.6% impervious lot coverage."
I move to DENY the requested variance with the following findings (state reason/findings).

STATEMENT OF INTENT - VARIANCE FOR INCREASE IN IMPERVIOUS AREA
Expansion of Safeway Store 0920
451 E Wonder View
Stanley Village Shopping Center
Estes Park CO
Safeway Inc is proposing to expand the existing Safeway Store 0920 with a 6,280 sf
building addition to the east side. A separate Site Plan Amendment is being submitted
concurrently with this variance request.
The original building was constructed in 1984 and consisted a single story grocery store
of 26,532 sf and two small office and mechanical mezzanines. The building was
expanded in 1997 with additions on the west and east sides, making a building area
total of 41,094 sf. The store has had several interior remodels, including a major
remodels in 2009.
The Safeway store is part of a larger commercial shopping center know as Stanley
Village. The Center is a great mix of local and national retailers including retail,
banking, hardware, liquor, pharmacy, restaurants, fast food, movie theatre, fuel stations
and mixed retail/offices. The shopping center is zoned CO Outlying Commercial and is
intended to service both local and tourist retail needs. The overall shopping is roughly
divided into two areas; the upper platform with the Safeway and retail uses and the
lower section that fronts SH 34 and is oriented towards automotive traffic [fast food and
fuel stations).
The Site Plan amendment was initially submitted in May 2016 to address the issues
related to the expansion of Safeway. The expansion is planned to the east of the
existing store, into a paved parking lot. The amount of added impervious material [roof
and paving) for the Safeway expansion is a net increase of 568 sf.
Planning staff requested the impervious area for the entire 13.92 acre Stanley Village
Shopping Center be calculated as part of the Site plan Amendment. Based on a partial
survey and aerial photos of the shopping center, Van Horn Engineering calculated the
current amount of impervious area as512,977 sf, which is 84.6 % of the site. Estes
Valley Code, chapter 4, table 4-5 has a maximum area limit of 65% impervious area for
zones CO, so the present site is in a non conforming conditions. Planning staff advised
that a variance through he Board of Adjustments would be necessary.
How the Stanley Village Shopping Center was allowed to developed beyond the 65%
limit is a historic event, of which the applicant has not been able to determine the
reasoning or found any past variances or approvals. We had asked planning staff for
background information, but no documentation has been forwarded.
The applicant believes what is at issue for the Safeway expansion is an increase of the
impervious area of 568 sf or 0.1 % of the total site. Thus we are requesting a variance
for the amount of impervious area.
Chapter 3.6C Variances of the Estes Valley Development Code outlines several standards
that must be met with the approval of the variance:
1. Special circumstances or conditions
The overage of impervious materials on past Site Plan amendments is unique to
Stanley Village SC and would not affect other commercial developments.
2. Practical difficulty
The uses or character of the Stanley Village SC will not be affected by the 0.1%
increase in impervious surface, as the present conditions is 84.6%. Removal
of parking and paving would be the only practical method of lowering the
impervious area, but the parking is a critical part of the shopping center and
must be preserved,
3. Affects on general regulations
This variance would only affect this specific property and condition.
4. Reducing lot size - NA
5. Deviation from Regulations
The building expansion only adds 0.1 % impervious area to a non conforming
area of 84.6 %. The Safeway building expansion is not the cause of the 15%
overage.
6. Use not permitted
This variance does not affect the uses in the Shopping Center.
7. Required alternate conditions
We are not aware of any alternate solutions other than reduced parking would
offset the variance.
