Town Administrator Klaphake reported on events leading to a proposed resolution authorizing the Conference Center Project whereby the Town would enter into an Agreement with Rex Maughan, dba FOREVER RESORTS (Holiday Inn). Testimony was heard from Bus Schageman, who directed questions to the Board pertaining to: compounding the traffic problem in the area; the proposed amendment to EPURA's boundary, which would be increased by approximately 20.6 acres; why the proposed boundary has designated the north side in lieu of the south side of Dunraven for inclusion; land values relating to the potential for purchase of the surrounding property and fair market values; specific future development for the property; and bonding. Bill Watson, Jr. stated that the affected property owners are "uneasy" pursuant to EPURA's record in past property negotiations, and, if the Town/EPURA does not intend to develop the area, this statement should be clearly stated in the resolution. Bill Watson, Sr. stated the property owner does not have control of his property when EPURA is involved. Town Administrator Klaphake and Town Attorney White responded to those issues raised, stating discussion will take place with the Bond Attorney to ascertain if language can be included to clarify that the Town/EPURA has no intention, at this time, to develop the area in question which pertains to EPURA's boundary expansion --the south side of Dunraven, the west side of Stanley Avenue, and the east side of Highway 7. A. Resolution #19-89. Trustee Aldrich introduced, and Town Attorney White read in full, a resolution authorizing the Conference Center Project, and moved it be passed and adopted. Town Attorney White advised that the resolution ratifies the Memorandum of Understanding, authorizes the Town to proceed with negotiation of the Intergovernmental Agreement between EPURA and the Town, and authorizes the Town to negoti- ate agreements for the architectural and design services for the Conference Center. Trustee Hix seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. B. Resolution #20-89. Trustee Habecker introduced, and Town Attorney White read in full, a resolution finding that the addition of approximately 20.6 contiguous acres to EPURA's redevelopment area constitutes a substantial change in the Estes Park Downtown Redevel- opment Program, and, therefore, in accordance with Urban Renewal Law, the proposed modification would be referred to the Planning Commission for their review Board of Trustees - September 12, 1989 - Page three and recommendation regarding the conformity of such modification with the general plan for the development of the municipality as a whole.
