Minutes of the Special Planning Commission meeting held October 7, 1986 were submitted. Mayor Dannels declared a public hearing to consider the Residen- tial Zoning Revisions. The following correspondence was received and made a part of the record of these proceedings: Harriet Kaye/League of Women Voters, letter dated August 18, 1986 and Seymour Graham, letter dated October 11, 1986. Planner Stamey appeared before the Board of Trustees and presented a report entitled "Summary of Proposed Revisions to the Residential Zoning Regulations and Ordinance Modifications." The report addressed Principals, Dimensional Regulations, Mobile Home and RV Parks, and Other Modifications. Public testimony was heard from: (1) Frank Williams (requested clarification of the minimum lot size in the C-O and R-M Zoning Districts); (2) Norman Ream/ARD (ex- pressed appreciation to the staff for the immense amount of work required in preparing the residential zoning revisions. With respect to development, Mr. Ream suggested the rights of private citizens and land owners should be protected in writing in lieu of oral assurances. Preference should not be given to developers); (3) Ray Lindsey/EVIA (stated he would like to see the Town Board proceed with adoption of the Ordinance; however, Mr. Lindsey questioned the following: allowing Club, fraternal organizations and day care centers in the R-S and R-M districts through Special Review, and that no merit was gained in allowing Zero Lot Line Development in the E-Estate District); (4) Rowland Retrum (urged the Board of Trustees to deny adoption of the Ordinance at this time due to certain amendments that had not been addressed. Comments were also made pertaining to the "bonus system", minimum lot size, public notice procedures, right of appeal, zero lot line development, and density of construction on steeply -sloped land). There were no other persons speaking in "favor" of or in "opposition" to the proposed residential zoning ordinance. Mayor Dannels declared said public hearing closed. Trustee Brown stated a number of revisions had taken place since the first draft of the Ordinance in an effort to address all public comment; additional density per dwelling was not being increased; and the public was being protected due to the more restrictive nature of the proposed Ordinance. Trustee Brown also recognized the Zoning Consultants - Philip Herr and Chuck Perry in performing an excellent job during the past two years. Mayor Dannels expressed his appreciation to the citizenry for their tremendous interest in the proposed Ordinance. Trustee Laing stated she was in favor of adopting the proposed Ordinance due to the efforts of the staff and Planning Commission in their ap- proach to provide a residential zoning ordinance equitable for all citizens of Estes Park. Trustee Hix expressed his appre- ciation to Trustee Laing in attending the Planning Commission meetings. Trustee Aldrich stated the proposed Ordinance could possibly contain certain areas needing refinement; however, the right of appeal has been provided for such instances. Trustee Board of Trustees - October 14, 1986 - Page three Barker stated adoption of the Ordinance did not preclude re- visions should they be required at a later date. Trustee Brown introduced, and Town Administrator read aloud, the following Ordinance and moved it be adopted: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE MUNICI- PAL CODE OF THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO, THE SAME PERTAINING TO ZONING Trustee Aldrich seconded the motion and it passed by the follow- ing votes: Those voting "Yes" Trustees Aldrich, Barker, Brown, Hix and Laing. Those voting "No" none. Whereupon Mayor Dannels declared said Ordinance duly passed and adopted and ordered it numbered 22-86 and published according to law. Town Administrator Hill read the title only of the following ordinance for final reading: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO, THE SAME PERTAINING TO CODE FEES AND CHARGES Mr. Dick Carlton addressed the Board of Trustees concerning the increased fee which was being proposed to board horses. The current fee is $5.00/premises; the proposed fee is $25.00/prem- ises. Mr. Carlton stated the fee increase was unfair; if the fee was assessed to those citizens residing inside Town limits, the fee should also be assessed to those persons using the facilities at Stanley Park. Ms. Betty Clausen questioned if the only revision taking place was an increase in fees. Ms. Clausen was advised in the affirmative. Mr. Ray Carlton questioned in- spection of facilities prior to issuance of a permit. Mr. Carlton was advised certain specifications are contained in the ordinance which address this issue. The section pertaining to fees was the only section included in this portion of the proposed Ordinance. A better understanding of this topic can be obtained by reading Chapter 7.08 of the Municipal Code. Mr. Otis Whiteside/Silver Lane Stables, stated that in fifty years of business, he had not been approached to purchase a permit. Mr. Whiteside questioned how the Town could regulate such a permit if the number of horses being maintained varied from time to time. Mr. Whiteside was advised Silver Lane Stables are currently excluded from the zoning ordinance and not within Town limits, thus the Town has no jurisdiction on his property. However, the regulations would apply to all property located within Town limits. Those properties covered by a "grandfather clause" would remain unaffected by the proposed Ordinance. There being no further discussion, Trustee Aldrich moved the Ordinance be approved. Trustee Brown seconded the motion and it passed by the following votes: Those voting "Yes" Trustees Aldrich, Barker, Brown, Hix, and Laing. Those voting "No" none. Whereupon Mayor Dannels declared said Ordinance duly passed and adopted and ordered it numbered 23-86 and published according to law. Trustee Laing introduced, and Town Attorney White read in full, the following Resolution and moved it be adopted: RESOLUTION 21-86 ) WHEREAS, the Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority is in the process of the design and construction of a project known as Streetscape III for the purpose of beautifying and improving Elkhorn Avenue from West Riverside Drive to the intersections of Highway 36 and Highway 34; and WHEREAS, said project is in accordance with the provisions of the Estes Park Downtown Redevelopment Program of May 24, 1983; and WHEREAS, as a part of said Streetscape III certain curb cuts from properties abutting East Elkhorn Avenue Board of Trustees - October 14, 1986 - Page four on both the north and south side of the street shall be closed, relocated, altered, modified, or allowed to remain as is; and WHEREAS, Section 12.20.030 of the Municipal Code of the Town of Estes Park empowers the Board of Trust- ees of the Town of Estes Park to determine that any existing curb cut be removed, altered or decreased; and WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park has reviewed the proposed relocation, modification, closure, existence and decrease of the following curb cuts; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.20.030, the Board of Trustees has determined that unless modified, altered or decreased, the existing curb cuts interfere with the proper use of the street as it relates to the Streetscape III Project.
